M an arrested in connection with
d isappearance of local teenage girl
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
The search for Chelsea
King, a local high school
girl that disappeared last
week, will resume this week
despite treatment of the case
by local law enforcement as a
homicide. King, a 17 year-old
Poway resident, disappeared
while on a run at Rancho
Bernardo Park near Lake Hodges
Thursday evening. Authorities
have already identified a
suspect in connection with
King's
disappearance.
According to Bill Gore of the
San Diego County Sheriffs
Department, officers apprhended
John Albert Gardner III Sunday
afternoon outside of Hernandez
Hide-A-Way, a restaurant in the
small Lake Hodges community
known as Del Dios. Gardner,
a 30 year-old registered sex
offender, now faces charges of
first-degree murder and rape by
force.
At a press conference last
evening, Sheriff Gore said,
"evidence was discovered to
link Gardner to Ms. King in
such a manner as to warrant his
arrest." Though the Sheriffs
department would not elaborate,
physical evidence linking
Gardener to the crime has been
found in the area where Chelsea
King disappeared.
Chelsea's mother, Kelly King,
told reporters on Monday that
investigators identified Gardner's

Gardner's previous criminal
history includes a guilty plea
to multiple counts of forcible
lewd acts with a child and false
imprisonment, landing him
a six year prison sentence in
May 2000. Sheriff Gore said
Gardner has been uncooperative

insist they may still be able
to implicate Gardner without
locating the victim. Paul
Levikow from the San Diego
County District Attorney's office
said, "There are murder cases
that get tried without a body.
There is one going on now."
Parents Brent and Kelly King
insist they will continue to search
fortheir daughter, aided by friends
and volunteers from around the
community. Those involved in
the search have relied heavily
on social networking sites like

Facebook and Twitter to spread
up to date information. Those
interested in volunteering can go
to Chelsea King Search Center
located at 11858 Bernardo Plaza
Court. More information on
search efforts can also be found

Authorities have requested
those with any information
relating to the disappearance
of Chelsea King to contact the

won the award previously. It
will come down to if the Academy wants to award Gabourey

well-rounded performance in the

her years of work in Hollywood

the other likelyfilm,James Cameron's "Avatar," will top Kathryn Bigelow's story of the bomb

it will be a fun show to celebrate

The two races differ in both
their length and where they are

3.1 mile course, goes around the
campus. It's mostly on campus

"The other event is the Ilk.
This one is more challenging. It
will go to the top of the mountain that you see outside the university and there is a park called

Both the races are due to start

There is also reason for those

Lighting up at C SUSM
Hazards of social smoking
Every year, hundreds of thousands of deaths are due to smoking related illnesses. Here at California State University of San
Marcos, students who smoke take
up a significant portion of the student population.
In 2005, based on a new state
law, from Title 8 California Code
of Regulations section 5148, has
affected how CSUSM views oncampus smoking. On the CSUSM
campus, there are nine designated
smoking areas for students, faculty, and staff to use. This law
means that at CSUSM smokers can
only smoke in designated areas.
Students can experience many
harmful affects from smoking or
from exposure to second-hand
smqke. Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's
health educator, said, "There
are many risks associated with
cigarette smoking. According
to The Health Consequences of
Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General, smoking causes
approximately: 90% of all lung
cancer deaths in men, 80% of all
lung cancer deaths in women,
and 90% of deaths from chronic
obstructive lung disease.
"The adverse health effects
from cigarettes smoking accounts
for an estimate of nearly one
of every five deaths or 443,000
deaths in year in the US. Besides
lung cancer and an increase in
coronary heart disease," Nguyen
said, "smoking can cause respiratory diseases such as emphysema,
bronchitis, and chronic airway
obstruction."
All of these health risks associated with smoking could affect
any student here at CSUSM,
whether lighting up or from exposure to second-hand smoke.
Another factor as to why students light up deals students who
socially smoke with peers. Nguyen
also provided information about
CSUSM and the students that are
lighting up. She said, "According
to the National College Health
Association results from a survey
that was administered to CSUSM
students in the Spring of 2009,
64% of our student population
does not smoke and has never
smoked a cigarette. Of the 36%
of students that have used cigarettes, only 15% of that group has
smoked a cigarette within the last
30 days."
This data shows that over half
the student population is not lighting up. According to data only, the
social aspect of smoking does not
necessarily affect CSUSM students.
With less than half of the student population smoking at
CSUSM, it is important to understand how some of student body
sees smoking on campus.
Chris Rahn, CSUSM Student,
said, "The designated smoke areas
on campus aren't strategically
placed. Every day I walk by smok-
ers to and from my classes and
car. As a student here at CSUSM
I wish I did not have to be around
smoking on such a regular basis."
Another student, Tiffany
Walker, had a different opinion. Walker said, "Smoking on
campus doesn't bother me. As
long as students are smoking outside, they can do as they please. If
I really had a problem with smok-

Blaring tunes, CSUSM college radio hits airwaves
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Editor-in-Chief
Roaring into our twenties,
CSUSM has upgraded into the
twenty f irst century and introduced its first radio station.
Taking a closer look at
CSUSM's first radio station
and the students inside the
studio and on the airwaves,
Thi Pride got the privilege of
having a Q&A with the maker
behind CSUSM College Radio.
V=The Pride
RV= Rosario Vizcaino,
President of CSUSM College
Radio.
P: whose idèa was it to start a
college radiò station?
RV: "I started CSUSM College Radio in the fall of 2008
with the help of my classmate
Ryan Mcelroy. It initially
started as an idea for a class
project, which unfortunately
was dropped by our professor
and a few classmates because
it wouldn't meet the requirements for the assigned project
at that time."
i*It wasn't over for me
just yet I knew there was no on my server and immediately
CSUSM radio station and setup a
media
that we would be the first students to come up with it."
P: How did the project evolve
and get developed?
RV: I recruited my classmate Ryan Mcelroy, who is one
of the founders and the current treasurer of CSUSM College Radio. We immediately
went forward with the process of forming a club, which
was finalized at the end of
November in 2008.
With the minimal
support we initially had,
I had then
decided
that col1ege
r adio
w ould
happen no
matter what.
P: How did
you start a radio station from
scratch?
RV: "I acquired the domain
name and created a web page
for the radio station. I hosted it
s treaming service. With
the
help of Ryan, I made a simple
design that would be easy to
use and yet it would be robust.
We tested it and loved it."
"With no expectations of the
outcome, we then went over to
Student Life and Leadership on
campus and made a live demo
which generated an immediate
positive chain reaction. We had
created the first CSUSM college radio, which by the way it
has been granted full status as
an organized club on campus
as of February of 2010."
"Yes we are new and we
plan to be here for a long
time!"
P: What is your
m ission
statement?
RV:
"By the
s tudents
for the
students!"
P: What
type of radio
s t a - tion would you
consider yourself?
RV: "CSUSM College Radio
was founded with a purpose in
mind and that is to encourage
and promote cultural diversity
on campus. So send us your
request and if you feel you have
the courage to talk on the radio
email us collegeradio@csusm.
info."
P: How can students listen in
and interact with college radio?
RV: "Please go to www.
csusm.info and send us your
request through our contact
page. You can chat with us or
simply call us at (760) 6704131."
P: What does college radio
strive for in the future? What
will become of college radio?
RV: "College Radio is here
to stay."
P: What are unique projects
will our college radio host?
RV: "We will cover news,
sports, current events and your
favorite music."
CSUSM College Radio primarily runs through online
streaming, their interactive
website offers video shows of
the most recent student organization fair and they are eager
to begin offering footage and
live radio casting from sporting events.
Baseball team hits homerun season for C SUSM
BY KATRINA KISTLER
Pride Staff Writer.
Here at CSUSM, the baseball
team is up to bat and gives our
small athletic department a big
name.
The CSUSM baseball team
has started out their season
with eight wins,fivelosses, and
one tie. This season has proved
to be difficult, but the cougars
have stood strong.
"There have been a lot of injuries this season, but the players
and team have exceeded my
expectations while dealing with
a tough schedule," said baseball
coach Dennis Pugh.
The CSUSM baseball team
rested these past two weeks and
now is looking forward to an
away game against Chapman
University on March 5 at 2:00
PM. The following game will
be March 6 playing Chapman
again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at
Escondido High School.
"A lot of people don't know
about CSUSM's baseball team.
We love our fans, but we would
love it if even more CSUSM
students and fans could make
it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior.
With the new Softball field
built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty.
Now, the baseball team awaits
their turn for a home field here
on campus. Even with their
home fields spread out around
San Diego at Escondido High
School, Poway High School,
and Point Loma, the team's
season thus far has shown a
great amount of success and
dedication.
"I think our team should do
pretty well this season though.
Hopefully, we can make it to
playoffs and win," continued
Julienne.
On March 9, the cougars will
be playing a double header
facing Illinois Tech at 11:00
AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School. The next two
days the Cougars play Illinois
Tech again on March 10 at 6:00
PM and on March 11 at 6:00
PM located at Escondido High
School. Cougars then play Concordia at Poway High School at
6:00 PM on March 16. This will
be a tough game for the Cougars, but hope to pull out a win
against Concordia. The cougars
finish up that busy two weeks
playing Vanguard on March
spencer Pardon is on the left and Eric Julieene is on the right.
16 at 6:00 PM at Poway High
School. With these next two
busy and tough weeks, CSUSM
cougars are looking to come out
with some wins.
The players this season have
high expectations for suc-
i ^ M w l M ^ ^ É w j ^ wbSM i§i®
cess this year. Junior, Spencer
Pardon said, "In the season so
far, we have been doing pretty
well. We had a tough game
against Cal Baptist, but are
looking forward to a strong rest
of the season."

cial aspect to this type of film
is can it create the tension and
the suspense? The crazies definitely delivers on this account,
there are numerous scenes constructed purely on tension that
will keep you glued to the edge
of your seat. The slow build up
of the music and the different
use of camera angles create the
tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in

If you are the kind of person
that likes movies that make you
'jump out of your seat' then this
one is for you, countless scenes
can make the viewer leave their
chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take
them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the
way through. However, for me
some of the scenes became a
little predictable, as it was clear
towards the end that the 'jump
out of your chair' moment was
coming, and as a result I wasn't
surprised when it did.
I felt that the characters were
quite believable for most of the

In just a few weeks,
we will say good buy
not only to this year,
but also to the first
decade of our new millennium, according
to the Gregorian calendar. Looking back
the moviemakers gave us many
delights. After consideration and
reflection, here's my countdown
of the best ten movies from the
last decade.
To start the list, I am going to
go with an obvious one, Peter
Jackson's
"The Lord of
the
Rings"
trilogy, from
2001-2003.
As much as
I'd like to just

and can keep
anyone entertained, even with
the extended cuts.
Next, I skip to 2006 for the
film that finally earned Martin
Scorsese a Best Picture Oscar,
"The Departed." This had a
star-studded cast led by Jack
Nicholson at the top of his game.
The writing was razor sharp
with gripping dialogue. The tension builds beautifully and was

the best cop film in
recent years.
The Coen Brothers also finally picked
up a Best Picture
Oscar with my next
choice, "No Country for Old Men."
This highly controversial and debatable
thriller from 2007
took its audience for an exercise
in nerves. The often silly Coen
Brothers turned up the serious and scored big with this on,
especially with help from Javier
Bardem.
Cidade de Deus, or "City
of God," a
2002 Brazilian film, is my
next choice.
This coming
of age tail,
set in poverty-stricken
Brazil and follows a young
man through
the extreme
lows of his
childhood and
his eventual
escape. Much
like "Slumdog
M illionaire,"
of New Line Cinema this film is
full of grit and heart.
The Pixar side of Disney took
off these last ten years. They
dominated the animated film
industry, picking up most of the
Oscars in this category. Their
most recent film "Up," continued that legacy in 2009. Easily,
it was one of their most serious films, but it was also very
whimsical. The story of an old
man flying off
in his house
using balloons
was stunning
and
heartwarming.
The
US
hardly
gets
many mainstream foreign
film imports.
Yet in 2001,
"Le
Fabuleux Destin
d'Amélie
Poulain," or
"Amélie,"

came in storming. I have heard
more than one reviewer describe
it as the happiest film ever made.
It is a cheerful tale of a selfless
young woman bringing joy to
her neighbors and friends, and
she happens to find some love
for herself along the way.
Another foreign film that
snuck in was the Korean masterpiece "Oldboy," from 2003.
Director Chan-wook Park wove
a dark tale of revenge in this
mind-bending thriller. It is an
unforgettable story, shot incredibly well, and will leave you
squirming. This under the radar
success is a must-see, especially
before the Steven Spielberg and
Will Smith remake due out soon.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson seems incapable of making
a bad film. In 2007, he showed
his directorial might once again
with "There Will Be Blood."
The first thing that jumps to
mind is the extremely quotable
dialogue, namely, "I drink your
milkshake." But there was much
more to it. Daniel Day-Lewis is
phenomenal in this film and he
draws you into the dark world of
the early oil industry.
My penultimate pick comes
from 2006 and was directed
by Guillermo del Toro. It is the
fantasy titled "El Laberinto del
Fauno," or "Pan's Labyrinth."
This film left me teary-eyed,
on the edge of my seat, with
a
huge
grin. Set
dark yet fantastic world. This is
an incredible film to get lost in
over and over.
My final pick, and thus my
favorite film of the decade was
Disney/Pixar's crown jewel,
" WALL-E." The studio soared
with others hits including "Monsters Inc.," "Finding Nemo,"
and "The Incredibles," but they
nailed this one out of the park.
This sublime film had all the
right elements and is one of
those few films some might consider perfect.
The story of love is entertaining, the look is pure art, and
it is extremely re-watchable.
It had a subtle message about
earth and humanity that become
truer every day. Any film that
can convey so much emotion
through a non-speaking robot
deserves praise. This one did
that, and everything else right,
and that is why I say it's the best
of this decade.
I could go on and list hundreds of must-see movies from
this past decade, and I am sure
others to come, such as "Invictus" or "Avatar" might steal a
place on this list, but these are
the ten I think best represent
quality entertainment and filmmaking. It goes without saying, I
cannot wait to see what the next
ten years has in store.

Study a broad in the LIS
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
I'm back again, giving you
another one of my insights into my
experiences here in America. This
time I thought I would comment
on the differences in how people
get from A to B in Britain and
America. The first, probably most
obvious point I think you would
agree is that here in America you
need a car. This is noticeable to
everyone. If you don't have a car
you think how much you need
one, and if you do have a car you
pray that nothing happens to it.
Being an exchange student, I don't
have a car, so it can sometimes
make me feel restricted in what I
want to do. It can be quite frustrating when you think of something
good to do, but you can't do it, as
there is no way of getting to that
place. If you're lucky, you know
someone that has a car and can thing students need is within 10
take you places. Fortunately, my minutes walking distance: pubs,

and my university back home when I've seen them, I've said
(UCLAN) is that this university is that would be a decent sized car in

whereas at my university in Brit- went to buy a car the first question
ain the majority of students live they would ask is where the rest of
on campus. Back in Preston, UK, the car was. It remains a mystery
there is no need for a car. Every- how some of these big cars fit into
such small garages. I have also
noticed the size of the freeways
are a lot bigger here, 6 or 7 lanes is
the average width. It may or may
not be hard to believe but Britain's
motorways (freeways) are only 3
lanes wide.
From my point of view you
don't necessarily need a car in
Britain, especially if you're a student, and the transport system can
be good enough to get you around.
However, you definitely need a
car here in America to get around,
mostly due to the biggest overriding factor: the place is just so big.

Yes, soul searching. And I
d on't mean the kind of soul
searching you do when you've
lost your l eft f oot, blackstrapped stiletto. I mean the
k ind in which time and distance
allows you to truly see who you
are, what you feel, and what you
want out of life, without being
influenced by the social norms
of what you're used to. Aspects
like family, f riends, and a familiar environment tend to influence you to act in a certain way,
most likely because you are
comfortable with it and this is
what you know. But being away
f rom that opens an entire world
of possibilities, new frontiers
of emotion and social behavior
that you might have never experienced before. At the expense
of sounding like A laddin during
the magic carpet flight (which I
hear I bear an uncanny resemblance too [possible j ob candidate at Disneyland maybe?]),
travelling abroad shows you the
world in a physical and metaphorical sense, not only the
world around you but maybe
you yourself.
Personally, being away for
t hese few months have had
some level of impact upon my
character. I feel the extent of
t his can only be measured by
the people that know me best,
but nonetheless, I am still
myself. But I do know that
being away has given me a time
and place to really t hink about
l ife, myself, and those around
me. Gaining some insight into
what I want f rom myself, f rom
others, f uture goals, what I
want out of l ife and love, all
t hese things come to the f orefront of the mind when I 'm
feeling t ruly alone. Searching the mind and r eflecting on
these memories is something
that I c an't help but do. Literally, even to the point where I
stay cooped up in my room and
j ust t hink. T hink about home,
l ife, love, and whatever else
may be on the menu at the local
s elf-reflection bar and grill.
The point I 'm trying to make
is that taking time for selfreflection can happen anywhere.
But when you are away f rom
your expected social behaviors,
actions, and responsibilities, it
allows you to hopefully see who
you really are or if you're j ust
playing some role that many
simply expect f rom you. Take
this time to think ahead, reflect
on your past actions, and come
to terms with them or set them
right. I know that this week's
edition of Abroad in the UK
was a little different and off
the beaten path, but then again,
change happens. I 'm sure I 'll
be back to my normal style of
spewing out the literary equivalent of hitting two bricks against
each other for three hours, but
then again, this j ust shows a
range that can be gained by
reading and interpreting the
metaphorical newspaper of self
(Ok I 'll stop now, all these metaphors are hardly substantiated
to this extent, i t's like I pasted
them on with 3 year glue-stick).

The gift that keeps on giving
Operation Christmas Child at C SUSM
BY JORDAN VERDIN
Pride Staff Writer
Imagine Christmas morning
and you have no g ifts to share,
no happiness. For hundreds of
thousands of children around
the world, this is a cold, hard
reality. Priority Christian Challenge (PCC) is a club on campus
that is involved with "shoebox
ministry," and partners with
Samaritan's Purse Operation
Christmas Child.
Students involved with this
group want to make a difference and change the lives of
these children, hoping to share
the g ift of love and ofjoy by letting children know that there is
someone who does care about
them and the situation they are
in. This activity brings people
from different groups and clubs
together for one cause: to share
the joy and love of the holiday
with needy children.
When Ruth Bran, the director
of PCC and volunteer campus
minister at Cal State San
Marcos, heard about Operation
Christmas Child eight years
ago, she knew this would be the
perfect way to impact others
during the holidays. Students
involved with PCC give joy to
disadvantaged children aged
from t\yo to 14 at Christmastime, and let them know that
they are special.
Cal State San Marcos students put together over 300
shoeboxes, and while the items
within the shoeboxes — toi-
letries, toys crayons, school
supplies, stuffed animals, and
stickers - aren't particularly
expensive^: the g ifts are cherished for a lifetime.
' These shoeboxes might bib*
one of the only g ifts the cfiildfc
will ever receive their entire
life," said Bran. One of the
groups involved is Alpha XI
Delta, a sorority that threw a
party and had several teams rl
bring g ifts and boxes. They collected over 200 boxes at that
event. "Every box will change a
child's life," said Jenny McDonald, treasurer of Priority Christian challenge and sister of
Alpha XI Delta.
CSUSM's international students and the American Language and Culture instate are
also involved with Operation
Christmas Child, and realize
that what they are doing is a
life changing? experience f or
both themselves and the children.
"This is a rewarding experience and it makes me more
appreciative," said Priority
Christian Challenge President
Huy Tu. "It's worth it to see the
smiles on their faces."
It has not always been simple
t o find everything needed to
complete the shoeboxes for the
children. According to Bran,
one of the hardest elements of
the g ifts to find is the empty
shoeboxes needed to pack the
g ifts in. However, several local
shoe stores were able to donate
empty boxes for the cause, and
there were more than enough to
give the gifts to the children.
It is also difficult to get the
word out that this program is
available for CSUSM students
looking for a way to donate
their time to a worthy cause.
This year, there was also a concern that not too many students
would qot be able to afford to
donate g ifts to fill the shoebox.
Still, Bran was happy to share
that even though everyone is
feeling the economic crunch,
both teachers and students came
together to give for the less fortunate.
"We had a great turnout," said
Bran. While students might not
see the f ull impact of their g ift
has on the children, the effects
are immeasurable.
A great example of someone being impacted is Huda, a
female dietitian student f rom
Cal State San Bernardino, a
Jordanian international student.
When she was a child in Jordan,
Huda and her family received
shoeboxes. Upon coming to the
United States, Huda started the
Christian Club at CSUSB and
initiated Operation Christmas
Child last year.
Now CSUSM and CSUSB are
competing to see which campus'
program will bring in more
boxes for the program. While
it's too late to get involved this
year with Operation Christmas
Child, students who would like
to get involved for next year, or
be a part of nonprofit activities,
can help by getting in contact
with Ruth Bran at r22Bran@
yahoo.com, or call her at (760)
583-2381. For more information, they can visit the website

C SUSM goes G lobal
Students may now declare G lobal Studies major
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-in-Chief
Last month, CSUSM issued
a press release announcing
its plans to establish a new
Global Studies degree. As students may already be aware,
thé Global Studies department,
which offered a Global Studies
minor, was already in existence
prior to this announcement.
Certainly a sign that in spite
of the budget cuts to the CSU
system, CSUSM i s continuing
its growth, the Global Studies department now o ffers students the opportunity to also
major in Global Studies.
"Getting the program started
was largely the work of an
advisory group of faculty f rom
these departments under the
early leadership of Professor
Scott Greenwood who was the
f irst Program Director for the
program," said Global Studies Program Director Patty
Seleski, who is also a professor
of history. "Program development was assisted by a generous Department of Education
Title VI grant which allowed
faculty to put the major
together and to train in interdisciplinary teaching."
The new
interdisciplinary major is built off of
the program's minor
degree
program,
allowing
students to choose
f rom a list of
approved
course s
fr o m
various
departin e n t s
including history,
p olitical
science,
economics, modern
language,
literature and
writing, sociology, women's
studies, and visual
and performing arts.
"Even our local community is l inked t o t he global
c ommunity. In t he 21st c entury,
n ations share problems relat-
ing to s ecurity, h ealth, climate and the economy, among
completed many of t he m ajor
r equirements may also have
i nterest in double m ajoring
to include the Global Studies
major.
Seleski a dvises t hat t here is
a clear d ifference b etween t he
Global Studies m ajor and t he
Global B usiness M anagement
option in the College of Business.
"Although the p rogram does
encourage the whole p rocess
of g lobalization as it involves
the economy, b usiness and
c ommunication, we are also
i nterested in h aving s tudents
t hink about all t he ways in
which the global c ommunity
is i ncreasingly i ntertwined,"
said Seleski.
Even w ith t he new Global
Studies m ajor option now
available, t he Global S tudies
d epartment is s till w orking
t owards e xpanding i ts p rogram even f urther.
"As the p rogram d evelops,
we are p lanning f or i nternship p rograms t hat allow s tudents to work on global i ssues
either in i nternational s etting
or here in San Diego."

CSUSM M en's Soccer falls 1 -0 to Simon Fraser in A .I.I. Championship
November 14, 2009
Cougar men's soccer gave everything it had in the A.I.I. Finals on Saturday, but the spirited e ffort was not
enough to overcome top-seeded Simon
Fraser, as CSUSM fell l-0.The loss
ends what has been an incredibly mem-
orable season for Cal State San Marcos
men's soccer.
Coach Ron P ulvers' senior-heavy
squad got off to a 1-3 start but r efused
to give in, playing their way to an
11-6-1 f inal record and w inning two
post-season matches as the #3 seed.
However,
Simon
Fraser,
the
#3-ranked team in the nation, proved
to be too much Saturday night. The
Cougars hung with them throughout,
actually holding a 7-6 advantage in
shots on goal and a 5-3 lead in corner
kicks. But a Simon Fraser goal in the
75th minute would prove to b e the only
stat that m attered, as the Clan held on
to win the conference title.
"The team played great and provided
a lot of resistence," commented Coach
Pulvers. " This is one of my f avorite
teams I 've ever coached."
Women's Soccer National Championship pairings announced
the second round of the 32-team tourna^
ment, which will take place in Decatur,
Alabama.
CSU San Marcos, who won its second
consecutive Association of Independent
Institutions (A .1.1.) Conference Championship on Saturday, comes in with a
10-4-4 record. At one point the team was
3-4-3, but Coach Ron Pulvers' squad is

Cal State San Marcos women's soccer
will face 8th-seeded Vanguard University in the 2009 NAIA Women's Soccer
National Championship Opening Round.
The opening round game will be
hosted by Vanguard in Costa Mesa on
Saturday, November 21st. The teams will
be competing for the right to advance to
riding an 8-game unbeaten streak.
Vanguard, who defeated Point Loma
on Saturday to win the Golden State Athletic Conference Championship, enters
as the #8 seed in the nation with a 12-1-6
record.
This will be the second time these
teams have met this season. Back on
September 9th, Vanguard traveled to San
Marcos and stifled the Cougar offense to
win a 1-0 decision that saw CSUSM only
put two shots on net.
Of course, the Cougar squad from September was at a very different place than
the one who will take the field this Saturday, so expect a competitive and hardfought contest between these regional
rivals!

BY AMY SALISBURY

Try as I might, sometimes I
just cannot escape the looming
nature 6f pop culture. I know
what I like, and most of the time
am able to stick with my books,
my movies, and my music. But
something odd happened this
week.
I listened to the New Moon
soundtrack.
After my initial shock of realizing what I had done, I rechecked
the tracklisting: Death Cab
for Cutie, Grizzly Bear, Thom
Yorke, The Killers, Bon Iver,
among others. This couldn't be
the soggy-sweet pop record surely matched
with the Twilight franchise.
Subjectivity aside (irony included), I feel
I should make my ignorance of Twilight
known. I saw the first Twilight movie and
didn't read any of the books, and never had
any intent to see New Moon.
Still, I had the idea that Twilight was
for weird 14-year-olds and weirder people
with vampire fetishes. I do realize that
there are legitimate fans who enjoy the
writing immensely, but that generalization remains among non-fans of the series
(i.e., most males and the oddball girl). But
this record had some serious music on it.
Things just didn't add up, and nothing
explained it.
The real shock here is that Thom Yorke's
track, "Hearing Damage," is exclusive to
the soundtrack. Yorke, along with his band
Radiohead, left their record label and have
essentially released works on their own
terms since. So speculation might lead
the listener to believe Yorke thought New
Moon was relevant enough to be the vehicle

Enjoy a good lunch with some good music
Students can enjoy live music at the
Big Cat Food Court this Wednesday from
12-lpm outside under the patio shade.
Called "Radical Tunes," the Big Cat Food
Court and Cougar Shops have started a new
tradition to offer live music for students to
enjoy while eating their lunch.
"We want to further develop a fun and
exciting atmosphere at the Big Cat Food Court
and support "Student Life" on campus," said
Tipper Philips, marketing specialist for the
University Auxiliary and Research Services
Corporations (UARSC). "Having good
music with good food and drink is an outstanding opportunity to improve the environment in the Big Cat Food Court."
Having two prior performances, Philips says it's a new tradition that is still in
its early stages of development. "We just
started this and are feeling out the interest
level."
With the office of Global studies offering international week at CSÜSM Nov
16-19, the Big Cat Food Court celebrates it
its own way by featuring a different international menu item each day. Flavors from
around the world are offered to students for
a chance to taste recipes from overseas and

for his individual track release.
Bon Iver, one of the newest staples to
indie music, appears with an achingly
beautiful track called "Rosyln." Endlessly successful band The Killers offer
"A White Demon Lover," a song reflecting more of their first album's style that
took them so far. Even Lupe Fiasco makes
an appearance with "Solar Midnite," an
unusual song befitting the general tone of
the soundtrack.
I figure you can make one of two
conclusions about this: all these artists
subjected themselves to the world of
the Twilight cultural phenomenon just
because they coliid, or th¥y took advan-*
tage of Twilight's success to get their
music heard by people outside their fanbase. Or, music editors Charles Martin
Inouye and Gerard McCann just liked
these songs as much as I did and found
they fit great with the cinematography.
Whatever the case, the soundtrack is a
serious success, exactly the complement
expected for New Moon.

Anniversaries
The explosion of mockumentaries
BY IVAN GARCIA
Pride Staff Writer
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Hopefully you remember them, otherwise
the only gift you'll be
receiving is a big smack
in the mouph (yes, it's
an offshoot of the word
"mouth," get used to it).
Whether it be March 2,
April 5, or you simply don't remember, an anniversary is a time to celebrate a union with your partner
and reflect on all the great and not
so great times you've had with one
another.
Let's focus more on the happier
side of a relationship's anniversary,
which raises the question: What
makes a good anniversary? For
starters, remembering it makes for
a great anniversary already. Society,
the media, and just general word of
mouth has shown us all that forgetting an anniversary could lead to
more than a few nights on the coach
(and lord knows that's uncomfortable).
Even though I'm currently drilling the idea of letting people know
to never forget an anniversary, what
about the idea of knowing when to
celebrate and how? What should
many do for their significant others
and how often? And the answer is:
it's up to you. Honestly, it's up to you
lo decidewhen and how often you
decide to celebrate an anniversary.
Don't be a creeper. Celebrating
every week might be a little much.
You might as well be waiting outside
their window with a boom box, playing Niki FM by Hawthorne Heights
(anybody else remember that song?).
Personally, I try celebrating every
month, and by celebrating it, I mean
acknowledging it and maybe getting
a nice lunch or dinner. We're all on a
budget
s
o
let's not
go completely all
out How
do
you know when to go all
out? Usually, it's best to
really plan something
nice out for an anniversary every six months.
Typically, a six-month, one-year,
etc. anniversary is the best time to
acknowledge this unity. Making
it to six months or a year are quite
the accomplishments, so why not
let him/her know that you still care
about them after all that time? When
it comes to anniversaries that celebrate at least six months of togetherness, make sure to make it meaningful instead of something that you
think they might want
Yes, I'm sure all people could
think of the most romantic thing
they could ever hope for (eating
donuts and bacon off your lover's
body, anyone?), but it may not always
be the best choice. While a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant followed by dancing and a long walk
on the beach may seem like the perfect idea, it could also be the most
cliché. I mean, anybody could think
that just by watching an episode of
"Friends."
Make it meaningful, find something that you both love, and make it
your own. You both like astronomy,
ice cream, and relaxing? Then go
somewhere secluded withatelescope
and picnic basket full of Ben & Jerry's, and just star gaze. It is romantic
and something that you both love, so
why not enjoy something you both
have an affinity for? Either that or
you could go to a dinner and a show
(ifthat's the case, why not go to Benihana? Where dinner is the show?).
Film and television
makers tossed around
the term "mockumentary" in the mid 20th
century, but it was not
until 1984, when Rob
Reiner made "This is
Spinal Tap," that there was concrete mainstream mockumentary.
Now, mockumentaries are
seemingly everywhere in theaters and on television. A mockumentary is a fictitious film
or television program shot like
a documentary and attempts to
look realistic. The results are
often comedies in a British style,
which is subtler than outlandish
humor popular in the U.S.
Through the 1990's, some
directors produced the occasional mockumentary, but
Christopher Guest truly proliferated the genre. Guest, who
starred in "This is Spinal Tap,"
first made "Waiting for Guffman," a fictional documentary
about a small town producing a
play for the area's sesquicentennial.
Guest has also given us fictional documentaries about the
obscure, such as dog shows in
liRestin. Show" and a folk rock
reunion in "A Mighty Wind."
As a result of
Guest's work,
a new wave of
actors and directors continue to
expand the mockumentary.
Ricky
Gervais created the
BBC comedy
' The Office" as a
mockumentary about
office life. His series
exploded to spin off in
several different countries, including the U.S.
version starring Steve
Carell.
Sasha Baron Cohen
is also a maverick with
the mockumentary. First, he had success in the U.K. and U.S. with "Da
Ali G Show," where he played three
journalist characters.
Cohen took one of them, Borat, to
the big screen, which became a controversial and challenging comedy.
He looks like he will continue this
as the trailer for afilmabout another
of his characters, Bruno, came out
recently.
The genre also encompasses serious films, such as "Cloverfield,"
"Quarantine," and "The Blair Witch
Project." These action horror films
tell the story by making the camera
part of the story. The singular perspective creates tension and only the
film footage can tell the story in the
end.
The mockumentary is a unique
deviant in the comedy genre, though
it not limited to humor. It uses silence
and awkward moments rather than
laugh tracks and extraordinary circumstances. Thanks to innovated
filmmakers, this breed of humor has
flourished and should continue to do
so for the audience's delight.

Career Center Director, this is "approxiStudents should have a resume to share

estimate the importance of first impressions, their attire and having a professional
resume that markets them well at a j ob fair.
They have j ust a few seconds to make a
lasting impression and we see some horrible resumes. Applicants need to take time
in preparing for their j ob search and utilize
resources such as the Career Counselors in
the Career Center in Craven Hall 1400,"
Gaschler says.
According to a Career Builder survey in
March 2009, 38% of H R Managers spend
1-2 minutes reviewing a new application.
That is very little time for the resume to grab
their attention and give them valid reason to
schedule the candidate for an interview.
Gaschler relates that many students j ust
drop by sort of window shopping, looking for what they want but walk away if
they don't see it right off. Students need to
understand this is a networking opportunity.
Other opportunities are available either as a
college graduate or later in their career path
if they j ust get their foot in the door.
Students looking for work in a global
company with their degree in marketing or
global business management may overlook
companies like Wells Fargo who have global
opportunities. Employers such as large banks
have high volume recruiting roles. They are
developing positions that are entry level and
may or may not require a college degree for
their pool of talent. They often promote into
other positions within the company as well.
Positions such as a Human Resource Assistant or Human Resource Manager are not
necessarily presented at a j ob fair, however
the company representative may know who
to put a student or alumni in contact with for
such an opportunity.
On the j ob fair, Gaschler adds, "It is about
networking and good first impressions."

W h a t t o see o n D V D
A mishmash of movies a n d
television madness
BY B LAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
It is fitting on this week of
Passover that we take a look at
our f amily favorite Seder flick.
Seder is t he celebration dinner
of Passover. Combine this with
a fine new release featuring Jim
Carrey and blend in a mixed Britcom bowl of nuts and you have a
great week of entertainment.
"When D o We Eat?" is a film
which t urns the Passover Seder
on its head and provides a hilarious insiders take on this very holy
tradition. If you are not Jewish,
t his film will provide some real
insights as to why we are all so
neurotic and find ourselves using
humor as the cure for all that
ails us. Michael Lerner leads the
Seder as Ira Stuckman, a Christmas ornament manufacturer,
and his w ife Peggy is played by
Lesley A nn Warren.
If ever you wanted a case
study on a dysfunctional family
dynamic, this film doesn't simply
scratch the s urface, it scratches
t hrough every layer of paint and
gouges half way through t he
metal below. The Stuckmans
have five grown children. Meredith Scott Lynn p ortrays Jennifer, t he gay daughter b y I ra's
first w ife. M ax Greenfield plays
E than, w ho h as f ound God in t he
w ake of the collapse of h is Stock
Market f ortune and ends u p bedding h is cousin Vanessa, a sultry
A- celebrity publicist played by
Mili Avital. Daughter N ikki is a
. sex surrogate, Zeke is a druggy,
and Lionel is, w ell... watch the
film.
Jack Klugman plays the grandfather who has carried h is "survival" suitcase with h im everywhere for the past 60 years. A s a
holocaust survivor, h e k nows that
" the b astards" could come and
t ake you anytime.
T he story z ooms through the
Passover celebration j ust as one
might find at any reform celebration, yet in every manner
elevated, higher and closer to
God. T his film is side splitting
and at other times, very melancholy. T he actors, story and emotions you share with this film
seem genuine throughout and the
acting is never forced and u ntrue
t o the story. O ne most surprising
aspect of this film is the aesthetic.
T he colors leap f rom the screen,
and at times the sound quality is
divine. Welcome to t he table, pull
u p a seat, and enjoy the spectacle. A fter we can search for the
a fi komen. Oy, this film is such a
W hat to See ****
" Yes Man" stars Jim Carrey as
Carl A llen and Zooey Deschanel
a s Allison. T he film is an adaptation of a b ook by D anny Wallace,
a well-known British celebrity,
writer, and producer. You w ill
quickly see that t his is not a m ainstream Hollywood story. A fter
v iewing t he trailer, m y expectations f or t his film w ere quite
high. While the movie fell short
of meeting those l ofty expectations, it was perhaps because the
film delivered a very d ifferent
vibe f rom what the trailer promised.
Carrey provides all the insanity any viewer can handle as he
attends a "Yes M an" seminar at
the direction of his muse Nick.
Nick almost magically reappears
to help Carl find his lost life. Carl
realizes that his life is not going
well and becomes a "Yes Man,"
saying yes to every opportunity that comes his way. From
here the movie takes flight and
soars. Bungee j umping, studying
Korean, learning to play guitar,
and giving of himself, Carl rediscovers life and he finds love in
Allison. Deschanel is an actor
that seems o ften to play characters that are not a stretch for her,
yet she seems so honest, real, and
endearing that her p erformance,
as here, is o ften key to m aking a
given movie complete. There are
no real weaknesses to be found in
this movie, and the not so subtle
life lesson is as important as they
come. Consider this film to b e
one of l ife's most f un instructional yideos. Watch, learn and
enjoy. W hat t o See ****
"The IT Crowd" television
series on DVD is a personal new
discovery. It even has a tie in
with "Yes Man," as Danny Wallace played a character named
Paul in the pilot episode of this
series. British comedy cannot b e
easily defined, and it is not easily
contained. From "Benny H ill"
to "Monty P ython" to "Absolutely Fabulous," there is nothing
to tie the wide variety of humor
together apart f rom the British
accent.
Sometimes locating great foreign television can b e a great
challenge. This time, " IT" was in
my Netfiix "Movies You'll Love"
section. Even better was that " IT"
is an instant play selection. Chris
O'Dowd is Roy, a loud Irish
tech who at times misses many
important and subtle signals as
life plays out before h im. Richard
Ayoade plays Maurice ' Moss'
Moss. Ayoade writes, acts, and
directs, and here, Moss is simply
short on the brainpower needed
to provide excellent IT support to
anyone. He is not stupid, but a bit
d aft. These two fine specimens
of IT support work in a basement
and are overseen by the computer
illiterate IT department head Jen,
played with great zeal by Katherine Parkinson.
W hile t he pilot is cute and f un,
it seems t hat each new episode
I watch gets progressively more
biting, m ore outrageous, and
more f un t o watch. You might
say t hat t his is t he television
equivalent of a cup of Starbucks
c offee w ith an added big splash
of laughs. T he first t aste gets you
h ooked, and each additional episode p ulls you in deeper. W hat

BY A MY SALISBURY
Faces and Places Editor
There's a reason bands open
for other bands. Most of the
time, it's simply because they're
just not good enough to get a
headlining tour of their own.
They have their managers put in
a good word at the record label,
and join up with bands surpassing their musical aptitude with
the hopes of putting another
good word in with the fans.
The attempts aren't always
successful. Unless the venue is
standing room only, chances
are, most concertgoers won't
arrive until the main act takes
the stage. You can imagine my
surprise when the opening act
at a certain concert happened
to trump the band I planned on
loving.
I'd heard of Doves before this
day, but hadn't given them much
of a second thought. No doubt
they were just another English
Indie band riding The Beatles'
coattails, right?
Not quite. Doves formed in
1998 after Jez and Andy Williams' band, Sub Sub, dissolved
W ebsite o f
The W e e k

after 13 years. After Jimi Goodwin joined the duo, Doves released
three EPs. In 2000, theirfirstalbum,
"Lost Souls," garnered much critical praise. Though Doves had consistent radio play in the UK, their
fan base failed to cross the pond. In
2002, the band released "The Last
Broadcast." Still, Doves flew under
the radar. Their third album, "Some
Cities," shot up to number 1 on the
Billboard UK charts and finally
caught attention in America. Key
tracks like "Black and White Town"
and "Sky Starts Falling" catalyzed
Doves' success, and allowed them
to open for bands including Coldplay, U2, and Oasis.
"Darker," off "Lost Souls," is
exactly that. The song starts off
with an affected, electronic bass
line. A lead guitar slices through
ethereal lyrics. Each note is chaotic yet crafted, weaving a melody
of intricacies with just enough light
to express just how cold the "bad
snow" is.
Doves released their fourth studio
album, "Kingdom ofRust," on April
9. They are currently headlining
an international tour through midJune. Catch the band in Southern
California on May 14 at House of
Blues, San Diego, May 15 at House
of Blues, Anaheim, and May 16 at
The Wiltern in Los Angeles.

f rom b eneath t he d ark m ist
as the golden l ight of d awn

The f og, s tretching a cross t he

was alone on t he b each, s itting
with my f eet on t he b ank w ith
little waves l apping o ver my

and f illed me w ith a r enewed
spirit. P eace a nd t ranquility
began t o f ill my s oul.
As q uickly as t he p eace
a rrived, it q uickly r etreated.
A r umbling r ipped t hrough
the s urrounding m ountains,
and huge waves b egan t o f orm
on the s urface of t he w ater. I
was p aralyzed and u nable t o

to swallow e verything in its
path. I w as in its p ath. My l ife
f lashed b efore my eyes j ust
as the wave c rested above me
and blocked out t he s un.
I c atapulted u pright t o f ind
myself d renched and shivering, s itting on r ough d ark
b rown s heets in a p ool of
icy cold sweat. I g lanced at
t he r eflection in the m irror,
u nsure who was l ooking b ack
at me.
The i mage in t he m irror
seemed f amiliar, yet I w as
u nsure why. Short b lack h air
r ested above t he f ace. It was
d isheveled, r atty and m atted.
B eneath t he h air lay sleep

e yes,
e motionally s pent, r inged w ith d eep

From t he t op of t he neck to

m irror f ar t oo quickly.
I h ad to f ind out if t hat

down t owards my c hin, w atch-

S till, I could not a ccept

My f ingers r olled a wave at

t urned in u nison, as I t urned
and slowly s tretched my l eft

b roke my f all. My b ody was

m otionless w ith my g aze f ixed
on the c eiling.
The c eiling f an s queaked

T here w as n othing f amiliar in t his s cene. T here w as

I w as, w here I w as or how I
got t here. I was u nconnected
and u nidentified. As b affling

a c uriosity. The r eal m adness
was l urking in my m ind.
A fter j olting awake, I was

Even t hough I r ecall w aking

If it w as, could I f orce m yself

CSUSM holds
forum on VA Tech
BY AMANDA A NDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday April 19 in ACD
102 CSUSM hosted a forum honoring the Virginia Tech Tragedy
and to disciiss community concerns related to the issue. Present
at the forum were CSUSM students, faculty and staff and various community members. Each
attendee was given an orange and
maroon ribbon to wear in honor of
Virginia Tech victims. Beginning
at noon, those present for the start
of the forum honored the victims
of the Virginia Tech tragedy that
occurred on Monday, April 16,
with a few moments of silence.
President Karen S. Haynes opened
the forum by saying, "We're obviously all here today as a university community coming together
to share our grief, our concerns of
personal safety, and ask questions
as we go forward. . ." President
Haynes continued by saying, "I'm
sure many of yoù in our campus
community have personal connections to Virginia Tech, and so it
brings another dimension for you ;
to this conversation. I was asked
just now by the press, whether this
was our first or our last step in this
conversation; I'm sure that there
will be many steps, public, formal,
personal and private as we continue to think through the implications. One other public step that
we will take as a university is to
contribute to the Hokies Memorial
Fund that will help for counseling
and other services to the victims
and their families."
Assembled in the f ront of the
room was as a panel of campus
resources to offer information
and answer questions. The panel

Taking a "bite" out of the budget
BY PAMELA CASTILLO
Pride Staff Writer
On Wed. April 18, Students devoured
watermelon on the mezzanine plaza in the
name of the activism at the event hosted
by ASI, Take a Bite out of the Budget. Volunteers asked students to sign a standard
letter addressed t o Senator Jack Scott that
made three demands of California Legislature and Governor. The letter d rafted
by ASI read, "Fund the necessary $65
million for the CSU, freezing fees at the
2006-2007 levels. Fund the $24 million
Student Services Initiative. Restore the
$7 million on outreach." According to the
letter, "These actions will ensure that the
California State University remains accessible to all Californians."

Mart with the usual sized crowd. Today is
not any different than the rest to Marjorie
Mina. As she makes her rounds through
the store, she asks her clients how they are
doing and if they may need any assistance.
Her clients though, are not customers of
Wal-Mart; they are Wal-Mart employees
who have developmental disabilities. As a
job coach for Community Interface Services of Carlsbad, Mina works with eight
higher functioning adults. In Mina's case,
four out of eight of her clients work at WalMart and have overlapping hours so Mina
makes her rounds and works one on one
with her clients during their shifts.
As a job coach, Mina works under Community Interface's Supportive Employment program. Mina began working with
CIS after she graduated from CSUSM in
2004 as a Human Development major. In
the three years that she has been working
for CIS, Mina has learned that her clients
are excited to have a job. "We help them
be a part of the community," Mina said.
"If they take a bus to work, we teach them
what to do if they get lost, or what happens
when there's a disaster at work." When
Mina started working with her client Chris
Deddo, she learned that whenever Deddo
was faced with a question from a customer
to which he did not know the answer, he
would walk away. Mina would then interfere and show Deddo that he could ask
another associate for help. What Mina says
she enjoys the most is, "I can watch them
grow."
Job Coaches at CIS work with clients
who work at Pet Smart, Noah's Ark Learning Center, Wild Animal Park and Target
among other employers.
Two other major departments of CIS
include Supportive Living and Independent
Living.
In 1991 when Kim Larsen graduated
from CSUSM as a Business Major, she
was quickly promoted to associate director. Bruce Willbrant, another alumnus of
CSUSM, was not sure where he would live
after graduation when he found a classifieds ad for Community Interface's Supportive Living department. In the Supportive Living department, employees live with
a roommate who has a developmental disability. Willbrant thought, "I'd get paid and
I'd have a place to live."
Today Willbrant assists his clients as an
Independent Living Supervisor. Willbrant

should anything like that happen on campus.
Chief Hackenberg responded: "We have
plans in place. We have the ability to lock
down areas on campus from dispatch that
would help to isolate any kind of shooter
activity. We also have a system where we
can communicate through our classrooms
under times of duress that will also be helpful in letting people know exactly what the
situation is at the time." Dean Manship
also explained to the audience that there is
a system being finalized this very moment
that would allow the university to send
text messages to students in case of an oncampus emergency or life-threatening situation.
Another main point emphasized in the
forum was that of mental health care, and
Carlene Smith addressed that, ensuring
students that there are services available at
SHCS for students to take advantage of.
In hopes to reach the rest of the student
body, Hackenberg said, "We have a very
safe campus here; that's both by perception
and statistics bear that out, and we always
need to keep that in mind. We want students
to be very aware of any rumors, possibilities, possessions of a weapon on campus, or
anyone who might be planning these types
of things. We just want to encourage them
to report those things to the police department." For more information visit http://

Manship (Emergency Management Coordinator), Regina Frasca (Director of Risk
Management and Safety), Carlene Smith (a
psychologist from SHCS), CSUSM Police
Chief Ronald Hackenberg, Dr. Pat Worden
(Vice President for Student Affairs),
CSUSM President Karen S. Haynes, and
Gregory Toya (Associate Dean of Students) and a few other representatives from
campus organizations.
The central focus was to first remember
and honor the Virginia Tech tragedy and
to second address the campus community about our own safety precautions in
place and how they are being practiced and
improved.
In addition to offering a safe environment for an open discussion to inquiring
students and staff, the forum also hosted a
guest speaker, an alumnus from Virginia
Tech affiliated with the San Diego chapter of Virginia Tech Alumni. She shared a
poignant testimony about her experience
at Virginia Tech and how the tragedy had
impacted her and her family's life, as her
younger brother currently attends Virginia
Tech.
After the guest speaker, Gregory Toya
opened up the floor for the audience to
ask questions. The first question asked
addressed what plans CSUSM has in place
"ft: '
^
plans his clients' budget and assists them in
finding and purchasing affordable housing.
When speaking of helping clients attain
jobs, Larsen said, "Our goal is to help them
become more independent. So we may start
out 100% there, at the orientation, interview, and then when they get the hang of it,
we'll start fading out."
Willbrant found his education at CSUSM
to be extremely helpful. "The thing about
San Marcos is that they have this unique
major, Human Development, which is ideal,
along with sociology and psychology."
Denise Sumlin a graduated as Liberal
Studies and Sociology double major with a
focus in Child Development.
As an Independent Living Counselor,
Sumlin says she helps maintain independence. An Independent Living Counselor
may assist clients in daily living such
accessing community resources or gaining
social skills. Sumlin added, "At school, it's
all about the books. It's test after test. Here,
it's nothing but hands on. It all comes back
to you. I thought, I will never use this again
in my life! But I am putting a lot of it to
good use. You do get a chance to use some
of that."
Christine Sheppard, Supported Employment Supervisor, finds that the employees at
CIS enjoy coming to work each day. Sheppard said, "They are highly dedicated to the
service recipients and they have the ability
to cooperate and work well with others."
Shannon Foster works as a Resource
Counselor. In 2000, she graduated from
CSUSM as a double major in Psychology
and Sociology. She spends her days in
the community with her clients. On Mondays, she works out with her clients at the
YMCA, and on certain Fridays, she takes
her clients to the mall for some shopping.
Foster assists her clients in their work and
social skills. "We learn what their dreams
are then we help to accomplish their goals,"
Foster said.
Sally Serrin, a current student of CSUSM
decided to work at CIS in order to fulfill an
internship requirement for her Sociology
course. Serrin says that she's been able to
help where it's needed. Since Serrin began
working at Community Interface, she has
gained experience with doing research for
the company, working with clients and
completing market audit reports among
other things. "Everybody here is so positive," Serrin said, "with a good attitude
about a lot of things."
From RECYCLEMANIA, page 1
and San Diego State University were amongst
the 201 universities in the competition.
CSUSM first entered the competition in 2005
and placed first in Recycling Rate with a rate of
44 percent. The Recycling Rate category compares the weight of recyclables to the weigh of
trash.
In 2006, CSUSM won the Grand Champion
award, placed second in the Per Capita Classic,
and finished first in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. Campuses that
fall into the Grand Champion category demonstrate an excellence in recycling and reducing waste throughout the entire competition.
The Per Capita Classic compares the amount of
recyclables to the number of students in a given
campus. The Targeted Material - Corrugated
Cardboard category compares the amount of
recycled corrugated cardboard to the number of
students in a given campus.
For the 2007 contest, CSUSM brought home
another first place victory in the Grand Champion category. CSUSM also placed second in
the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard
category.
A recycling culture throbs throughout
CSUSM's campus. Cougars consistently recycle spent products in easily accessible bins.
"I recycle every single thing and I make sure
it goes in the right recycle bin," said Liberal
Studies Major Senior DeLacy Brown. "I can be
standing anywhere and turn around and find a
recycling bin."
"It feels good that my school has won the
RecycleMania competition three times in a
row. It's really cool that our school which is in
southern California cares that much about the
environment," said Arts and Technology Major
Freshmen Jake Gossett.
"Recycling is about giving back to the community. Given the fact that Cal State San Marcos
has won three years in a row giving back to the
community has been a major priority to us,"
said Psychology Major Senior Logan Goolsby.
"It makes me glad to go to a school where
students take the extra time to use the blue bins
for recycling. It would feel weird not to recycle
because the bins are everywhere," said Liberal
Studies Major junior Jenny Bigpond.
The contestants for next year's competition will most likely grow in number. Previous
contenders will sharpen their recycling skills.
However, given the current trends, Cougars
have a bright f uture and foreseeable victory in
the RecycleMania 2008 competition.

Acker, and Kat Schulz made up the second
round. The competition was stiff, but Justin and
Sandy devoured their way through huge pieces
of watermelon and won the preliminary rounds.
Rossiter and Betancourt battled against each
other for the championship. Grunting and
growling, Rossiter ripped red chunks of watermelon from its green rind while Betancourt
trailed close behind. The crowd cheered in favor
of Betancourt, but Rossiter gulped his way to
the championship.
Students at the event also took part in signing
a large red poster, among others, that students
will send to Virginia Tech. The poster reads,
"Our deepest sympathies to Virginia Tech from
the students of Cal State San Marcos. Other
posters read, "CSUSM honors Virginia Tech."
Sara Gallegos stated, "The final event that they
will be at is the Wellness Fair on Tuesday the
24th in the Field House. A fter that we are going
to mail the posters to Virginia Tech."
Satterfield said, "My overall reaction was that
it was a success. We got exactly 100 signatures
for our budget letters, which is great! The contest and event was a huge success and I couldn't
have been happier with the result."

Down to Earth: A green day on a green campus
Tuesday; April 24, 2007
THE PRIDE
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
Sunday, April 22, was Earth
Day. On this special day designed
to promote environmental awareness, millions across the nation
joined in celebration of Mother
Earth. While some people
renewed their commitment to
reduce, recycle and reuse, others
raised money to f und other environmental causes.
Historically, it was the concern of Senator Gaylord Nelson,
a Democrat from Wisconsin that
sparked our country's environmental awareness. He founded
the first Earth Day in 1970 after
trying to bring environmental
awareness to the American population since 1962.
On envirolink.org, Nelson said,
"Earth Day worked because of
the spontaneous response at the
grassroots level. We had neither
the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators
and the thousands of schools and
local communities that participated. That was the remarkable
thing about Earth Day. It organized itself."
America celebrates Earth Day
on April 22. This day is also
the birthday of Eddie Albert, a
former American television star
and environmental activist; it
also happens to be the birthday
of Julius Stirling Morton, the
founder of Arbor Day.
According to the U.S. government's web site on Earth Day
(earthday.gov), the United States
is much better off than it was in
1970. The air is cleaner, the loss
of wetlands is being reversed, and
other important environmental
legislation continues to improve
conditions.
Though things may be looking up, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
recently reported with 100 percent confidence that global
warming is happening, and with
90 percent confidence that it is
because of human interference.
The IPCC is a panel of scientists from different countries and
works closely with the United
Nations. Since the report, the
United States Congress has been
discussing new environmental
legislation that would significantly cut down on the production of greenhouse gases.
Meanwhile, there are many
things that people can do to help
save our planet. The government's Earth Day site suggests
saving energy by making homes
more efficient, turning off appliances and lights when not in use,
purchasing "green power" for the
electricity of houses, insulating
homes, driving less, and replacing incandescent light bulbs with
Energy Star qualified compact
fluorescent light bulbs.
The site also suggests several ways to use less water. It
urges people to use WaterSense
labeled products and programs.
These products, " will p erform
well, help save money, and
encourage innovation in manufacturing." (See http://www.
e pa.gov/watersense/index.htm
for more information on WaterSense.) The site also says to not
to let water r un while shaving
or brushing teeth, to take short
showers instead of baths, to
scrape rather than rinse dishes
before loading into dishwasher,
and to only wash f ull loads of
dishes and laundry. It also recommends buying high efficient
plumbing fixtures, repairing
leaks (one leaky toilet can waste
as much as 200 gallons of water
every day), and watering lawns
and plants during the coolest
p art of the day.
Another way to celebrate
Earth is by using the three R's:
reduce, reuse and recycle. To
reduce, people should consider
buying permanent items instead
of disposables, buying products
with less packaging, and only
«J
buying what they need. Reusing
is as simple as repairing items
as much as possible, using cloth
napkins, and reusing boxes, purchasing and reusing refillable
pens and pencils, and donating
extra things to other people or
charities. Recycling is the third
component. Many things can be
recycled—paper, plastic, bottles,
cardboard, aluminum; but, other
things can and should be recycled
such as electronics, motor oil,
printer cartridges, and even compost food scraps, grass and other
yard clippings.
Cal State San Marcos is particularly earth conscious—our university recently won RecycleMania for the third year in a row by
recycling over 59% of all that we
throw away.
This season, be more environmentally conscious and make
environmental resolutions that
will save money and our earth.
As Captain Planet always says,
"The power is yours!"
Honoring CSUSM's semi-annual Yellow Ribbon Week
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Suicide is the 11th leading
cause of death annually in the
United States and is the 2nd
leading cause of death among
college-aged students (according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention).
The American- Association of
Suicidology states that about
every 16 minutes, a person in
the U.S. takes their own life,
and every 39 seconds a person
in the U.S. attempts to take
their own life. In 2004, the most
recent complete data statistics,
there were roughly 811,000 suicide attempts, and a total 32,439
suicides. With approximately
80 Americans taking their life
each day and nearly 1,500 more
Americans attempting to do so,
there has got to be an underlying cause for such high statistics, as well as something everyone can do to help. Fortunately
for CSUSM students, and the
greater San Diego community,
there is something that can be
done and a way to help. As it has
been on campus since the spring
of 2003, CSUSM has its very
own Yellow Ribbon Club, which
is connected with a larger organization: Light for Life.
Chris Sanchez, President of the
Yellow Ribbon Club on campus,
encourages students to not only
become more aware about suicide and its warning signs, but
also to participate in the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week happening on campus April 30-May
2. With multiple events happen-
ing on campus for the upcoming
Yellow Ribbon Week, Sanchez
hopes to educate his peers about
the Yellow Ribbon Campaign,
the Light for Life Foundation
and the Yellow Ribbon Cards
that are available at the events
and online at www.yellowribbon.org.
To kick-off the approaching
Yellow Ribbon Week at CSUSM,
the Yellow Ribbon Club is hosting its first shoe drive. The shoe
drive aims to collect donated
shoes from students for a display

"We're going to be having
what's now become our semiannual yellow ribbon week
where we go out there and we
want to encourage students to
come see this video we show
called 'The Truth about Suicide.' 'The Truth about Suicide'
is a video put on by the America Foundation for Suicide, the
AFSP. And what they have done
is created this video that outlines
a lot of the symptoms of depression, suicide and they bring the
perspective from real life people
who have either attempted to
take their life, or who have had
friends who have. It is very emotional and I think it's very a ffective," said Sanchez.
The majority of the events
happening
during
Yellow
Ribbon Week will take place on
Monday, April 30, and Tuesday,
May 1, during University Hour
in the Library Plaza. There will
also be two screenings of "The
Truth about Suicide" Wednesday, May 2, one during University Hour in Markstein Hall 107
and the second at 5 p.m. in The
Clarke Field House.

�WHERE
IN THE
WORLD IS
A LISON A FFLECK?
BY ALISON AFFLECK
Pride Staff Writer
Paris did not earn the prestigious title
of "most visited place in the world" f or
nothing; it really is nothing short of
spectacular. I picked the less touristy
o ff season to visit, and although I did
not get to personally witness the typical
' Eiffel tower postcard' view, replete with
flowers and lavish greenery, I did get to
see the city covered in a f resh layer of
snow—a real bonus in my view.
It is hard to know where to begin in a
city such as Paris, but I suppose a good
starting point is a good hotel or hostel
location. I decided to stay on the l eft
bank of the Seine in a simple and oddly
decorated hotel that boasted a less than
five minute walk to the E iffel Tower.
Indeed the tiny hotel was - very inventively' called 'La Tour E iffel.' An added
bonu%to th% hotel was its proximity,, to
the métro, which in my opinion is something that a visitor to Paris should pick
as a priority when selecting a hotel; you
< will «pend a great* deal-of time cruising the odoriferous, bustling lines and it
really is a great way to get a feel for the
local life. Needless to say, it is advisable
to take advantage of the ' Paris Visite'
travel cards that o ffer unlimited use of
the métro and buses within a specified
t ime period.
D uring my stay in Paris, I did not
adhere to a rigid schedule; instead I
picked an area of interest and wandered
around seeing what grabbed my fancy.
Although I wanted to see all the usual
suspects, I planned to spend a great deal
of time in the local eateries and coffee
shops. Navigating around the l eft bank
in the gently falling snow, I visited
' L 'Hôtel des Invalides'—a huge construction orchestrated by Louis X IV t o house
wounded soldiers. Les Invalides i s v ery
easy to spot due to its unmistakable gold
dome. However, the luxury does not end
there—wait till you see Napoléon's massive red sarcophagus housed inside the
Eglise du Dôme and the amazing array
of weaponry housed in the Musée de
L'armée. A gentle stroll along the bank of
the lazily flowing river Seine later, and I
found myself exploring Notre Dame and
Sainte Chapelle in the Isle de la Cité;
the old historical heart of Paris. Notre
Dame is incredible with its huge domed
roof enveloping the wonderful scent that
all ancient buildings have: that of sweet
earth and centuries of candle burning.
The Cathedral façade itself is amazing,
as are the famous cheeky gargoyles that
line the panorama o fParis. Of course the
view requires a long walk up the many
flights of stairs, but it is well worth it.
As I crossed over the Seine via the
famous Pont Neuf ('New Bridge'), I was
tempted to pay a visit to the Louvre,
t hankfully I decided against it. To f ully
appreciate the cornucopia of a rtifacts
stashed within the Louvre, or the converted train station that is the Musée
d'Orsay, I definitely recommend devoting the better part of a day to really submerse oneself. Of course, in addition to
the more familiar, Paris has many other
exhibits for the discerning art lover to
wander around; indeed there is j ust so
much to see in the whole city. Climb
the Arc de Triomphe and gaze down the
sparkling Champs Elysées; For shopping, visit the b eautiful 'Art Nouveau'
Galleries Lafayette or take the métro to
the Abbesses stop and stroll the narrow
streets of Montmartre; here you will also
find the old white church Sacré Coeur,
the two remaining Moulins (windmills)
of Paris and of course the nearby red
light district of Pigali which contains the
famous Moulin Rouge—just be ready to
pay about $100 to see the show! I also
highly recommend a trip to the ancient
Catacombs, a fhuge underground collection of human bones, complete with philosophical French signposts. It is easily
reached f rom the Denfert-Rochereau
métro station. In all, a trip to Paris is
immensely satisfying in every regard,
f rom the macabre to the enlightening;
' The City of Light' truly has something
for everyone.

Padres update
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
The major league baseball schedule has
been a bit strange early on. Week three of
the Padres schedule saw them play consecutivetwo-game series, first in Chicago
t& face-the'Gubsv then b ackhome t omeet
the A rizona Diamondbacks. It is unusual
t o take on an opponent f or a two game
set. Series are generally three games and
sometimes four. The shortened series l eft
the Padres t o rack u p f requent flier miles
in a hurry. A fter leaving L.A., dropping
two of t hree to the Dodgers, the padres
flew to the windy city for two days and
back t o the west coast for two against the
D-backs. Then they flew to Coors field
in Colorado t o resume a more fashionable three-game series against the Rockies. The Padres have played eight days in
a row of a ten day stint without a break.
Since the Friday the 13th stomping at
Los Angeles the Friars have gone 4-3
to stand at 10 w ins and 7 losses through
April 20.
Saturday, April 14 was another gem
thrown by Padres ace right-hander Jake
Peavy. O r^e again Peavy was dealing,
giving u p only one r un on three hits in
seven innings. He improved h is record
to 5 -0 in h is last six outings against the
rival Dodgers. T he p erformance was
large since the Padres were blitzed 9-1
the night before. The o ffense was provided by B rian Giles, who homered and
drove in two, and new 3B Kevin Kouzriianoff who hit his first home r un as a
Padre in the f ourth i nning o ff Dodger
pitcher Jason Schmidt. The following
day Chavez Ravine proved a tough place
t o play as the Padres dropped the series
by losing. Left-hander Randy Wolf was
staked to t hree r uns early and went on
to beat Padres and Chris Young 9-3. The
Sunday night game was seen on ESPN
and highlighted by the 60th anniversary
of Jackie Robinson breaking t he color
barrier in MLB. Robinson played for the
Dodgers while they were still in Brooklyn and was elected t o the Hall of Fame
in 1962.
Traveling to Chicago t o play t he Cubs
for two games seemed simple enough.
The Padres were 7-0 against the Cubs
last year but spent huge dollars in the
f ree agent market to upgrade their squad.
In game one, Padres pitcher Clay Hensley continued h is struggles and the Friars
lost 12-4. The Cubs hit three home rims
while the Padres hit one; a ninth inning
t hree-run shot by Marcus Giles. In game
two, Greg Maddux took the hill in his
old stomping grounds, Maddux had twotours in Chicago pitching a total of 10
years at Wrigley Field. Maddux pitched
well, giving u p three r uns in five innings
and keeping the Padres in it. There was
not a r un scored by either team f rom the
fifth through the fourteenth when G eoff
Blum poked a double that scooted under
Cubs LF Jacque Jones (San Diego High)
glove allowing Khalil Greene to score
the game winning r un. Trevor H offman
closed the door on the series with his
third save of the season in the bottom of
the fourteenth.
The travel-weary Padres came home
for two against the Diamondbacks hoping
t o rest the bullpen. L efty David Wells
(Point Loma High) matched u p with last
year's Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. The Padres had opportunities
early but failed to capitalize and Webb
went on to set a career high by striking
out 13. Wells pitched great, giving u p
t hree hits and a walk in seven innings.
A 2-2 lasted till the t welfth when the D backs scored three r uns o ff Mike Thompson. The pitching staff was taxed a fter
the two games and 26 innings sandwiching a flight f rom Chicago to San Diego.
Jake Peavy took the mound in game two
of the series and dominated with his arm
and his bat. Peavy hit a two r un triple in
the third inning to highlight seven early
Padres r uns and celebrate his third win of
the year, winning 11-6. SS Khalil Greene
and C Rob Bowen hit home r uns in the
seventh inning to extend the lead a fter
the Diamondbacks had battled back to
make it a two r un game.
A series in Colorado kicked off with
an overpowering performance by Chris
Young of the Padres. He simply mowed
through the Rockies lineup allowing one
r un on f our hits while fanning seven in
his seven innings of work. IB Adrian
Gonzalez continued to lead the Padres
offense by swatting a 447 foot bomb to
right center. The Padres won 11-1 in the
s eries opener.

�Jock Talk With Josh: NBA picks revisited
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
Back
on
October 31, five
scary looking
guys appeared
in this column.
Their
names
were Fernando
Brown,
Paul
Baimbridge, Mike Millburn,
Kyle Trembley, and Josh Sandoval. Their mission: to predict
what was going to happen in the
2006-2007 NBA season.
Now that the NBA season has
concluded, and the playoffs are
underway I figured this was the
time to look back on those predictions and talk a little bit about
the post-season.
The N ostradamus . award
goes t o Paul for predicting the
Toronto Raptors as the Most
Improved Team. W hen he sent
that pick to me I accused h im of
being d runk. I feel safe saying
that Paul is the only p erson in
the world who thought t he R aptors would b e good. The t eam
n orth of the border is t he No. 3
seed in the E astern C onference
f acing the No. 6 seeded New
Jersey Nets.
The Captain Obvious award
goes to Mike for predicting t he
New York Knicks as the Most
Disappointing
Team.
Even
though Mike was the only one of
u s to predict the 33-49 season, I
still have t o tease h im about the
ease of that pick.
The Take Back award goes to
Fernando for picking the Clippers
to go to the Western Conference
finals. The C lip Show finishes
two games back of the Golden
State Warriors for the final spot
in the playoffs.
The Most Likely to Happen
award also goes to Fernando,
since he did predict the Suns
to beat the Pistons in the NBA
Championship. The Pistons are
the No. 1 seed in the East and
the Suns are the No. 2 seed in the
West.
The Overzealous award goes
to me for picking the New Jersey
Nets over the Dallas Mavericks
in the NBA Championship. The
Nets have a lot of talent with
Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and
Richard Jefferson, but only finished 41-41 whereas the Mavericks had the best record in the
NBA this season at 67-15.
The Mike and Mike award goes
t o Mike for picking Cleveland
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as
the N BA Coach of the Year. The
Cavaliers finished with the same
record of 50-32 that they had the
previous season, but they went

^
f rom 14 games back and the No.
4 seed to only three games back
and the No. 2 seed this season. I
still t hink Mike only picked Mike
because they share the same first
name.
The Should Happen But
Won't award will be split in half
with one half going to Paul and
one half going to me for picking Kobe Bryant as the regular
season MVP. Kobe's supporting cast, or lack there-of, fell
apart this season. Lamar Odom,
Luke Walton, Chris M ihm, and
Kwame Brown all missed time
due to injuries and Kobe still got
the Lakers into the playoffs.
The Joey Crawford Hater
award goes t o Kyle because Kyle
made a lot of his picks revolving
around the Spurs. NBA referee
Joey Crawford threw Duncan
out of a game towards the end of
the season because Duncan was
laughing on the bench. Crawford
then threatened D uncan to a fight.
NBA commissioner David Stern
suspended Crawford and r umor
is that Crawford's career may b e
over. Duncan, meanwhile is worried that Crawford's cronies in
the NBA ref society are going to
punish his Spurs team. Kyle had
the Spurs beating the Mavericks
in the Western Finals and then
the Heat in the N BA Championship and had D uncan w inning the
MVP.
Ifyou're keeping score at home,
the final award is: Kyle - 1, Paul
- 1.5, Me - 1.5, Fernando - 2,
Mike-2.
Now for my revised N BA playoff picks. The Suns will beat the
Pistons in the N BA Finals with
Steve Nash claiming MVP.

�CSUSM theater review: "The Bald Soprano"
T he bald
#•###
the beautiful
BY SOPHIE B RINK
Pride Staff Writer
"Don't t ry t o follow the plot," the ticket
seller warned m e with a smile. "There is
no plot." With these words echoing in my
mind, I settled in t o watch the last performance of " The Bald Soprano," presented
by the Visual and P erforming A rts Department here at Cal State San Marcos.
I confess I was predisposed t o be disappointed by t he play - not because I don't
have faith in t he VPA t o deliver the goods,
but because I am usually suspicious of
anything which calls itself an "anti-play
or parody." I o ften f ind such pieces less
humorous t han depressingly misanthropic.
"The Bald Soprano," written by Eugene
Ionesco, is an odd combination of wit and
misanthropy which, though it didn't make
me laugh out loud, amused me and pro-

Lucia D. Lopez (right) as Mrs. Martin.
vided some food for thought.
Eugene Ionesco was one of the fathers
of absurdist theater. Born in Romania in
1909, Ionesco grew u p in Paris. There he
was employed a s a teacher, translator and
proofreader, and it was only at the age of
39 that Ionesco tried h is hand at play writing. "The Bald Soprano," Ionesco's first
play, was p erformed in 1950. Ionesco's
experience learning English f rom a phrase
book provided the inspiration for the piece.
He found that dialogue within the phrase
book, when read as though one were reading a novel, was intriguing in its f ragmentary and absurd nature.
The meaning in "The Bald Soprano"
derives f rom the fact that the dialogue
itself has no meaning. The actors spout o ff
insipid remarks that are completely u nrelated to those of the person t o whom they
are speaking. Conversation, then, ceases
to connect the parties who are conversing,
a s they talk a lot but say little.
C areful consideration seemed t o have
b een t aken by t he cast and crew of t his
p erformance t o make t his play appear
applicable t o t oday's A merican society
while r etaining something of the era in
which it was w ritten. The result was a
cross-generational amalgamation which
lent itself b eautifully t o t he absurdity of
t he play. The set was spare, containing
bits of f urniture that could have easily
existed in 1950s France as in 2007 America, except for multiple television sets
showing images of President Bush and

Directed by Marcos Martinez, the cast of
"The Bald Soprano" was divided into two
- one first cast playing April 13, 14, and
20, the second playing April 12,19, and 21.
Cast two's Jessica Swan made a commendable t urn as the facetious Mrs. Smith, while
Omar Yanez b eautifully deadpanned as
her staid husband. The irrepressible Mrs.
M artin was cheekily p erformed by Lucia
D. Lopez, and Anthony Buonocore was
likable as her easily excitable husband.
Admirably, Shane Barksdaie managed
t o stay in character as t he ridiculous Fire
Chief without cracking a smile. Although
Ionesco's dialogue does nothing t o flesh
out the characters, as this is hardly a character-driven piece, the actors did a nice j ob
of bringing life t o their roles. Without the
spark of life in those who t ry desperately
t o communicate, I do not t hink Ionesco's
statement about the futility of h uman communication would have rang as t rue as it
did during the April 21 p erformance of
"The Bald Soprano."

Horror
BY RICHARD ESPERTI
Pride Staff Writer
"Vacancy" delivers a h eart throbbing
and s uspenseful t hrill ride capable of leaving audiences in fear of overnight stays
in small town motels. The f ilm's uncharacteristic choice of actors, no ditzy and
defenseless starlets which is so typical of
slasher-films, makes for a truly realistic
t errifying horror film.

San Diego brewed beers never cease
to amaze me. This week I picked
another local spot to check out.
For any San Diegan the Stone
Brewery is considered local,
but for u s Cougars the Stone
Brewery and World Bistro is
our neighbor. Not but five
minutes f rom our campus is
one of the most impressive
breweries I have been t o yet.
The list of beers is almost
endless, so you can imagine
how hard it was t o choose
one. But I did, and t his
week's Beer of the Week is
the Stone Smoked Porter.
A porter-type beer is much
darker then a pale ale or brew
of that sort. But it is not as
black as a stout beer. At the
brewery the color of this beer is
known as a dark mahogany. But it
j ust looked dark brown to me. It is
a smoked porter due to the amount of
peat-smoked specialty malt Stone uses.
Another interesting fact, which seems
to be a trend at the brewery, is that this
beer among others is 100% natural.
N o additives, no chemicals, no
preservatives, no pasteurization, and no adjuncts (which
is a fancy word for no rice or
corn).
I prepared myself for a very
bitter beer with a strong bite as it went down. But
it was much more subtle than the color led me to
believe. My first thought was that this brew is very
f ull bodied and rich but not bitter. During the
first couple of gulps, I had a hard time
distinguishing all of the flavors. But
as I got about half-way done with
the glass, I could continuously taste
chocolate and c offee flavors and a
distinct smoky flavor. Even with all
that flavor there w as no bitter taste
lingering on the back of my tongue.
This is a beer t hat I would recommend trying.
The Stone Brewery and World
Bistro do not j ust o ffer some of the
world's finest beers but also some
incredible food. I enjoyed their
famous Mac a nd Beer Cheese,
which was incredible. But on a
college budget it looks like I will
be eating o ff the dollar menu for the
rest of the week. I f you happen to
have a lot of extra cash and you want to
t ry some interesting food you can order
anything f rom mac and cheese to duck
tacos.
If you have not yet experienced Stone
Brewery and World Bistro I recommend it
especially i f consider your self a connoisseur
of beer. N ot only can you stimulate your palette
but you can get a tour of the facilities. Stonef
brewery is located at 1999 C itracado^

The fast approáching w arm
summer days will call for a
suitable beverage, one that will
lend itself well t o outdoor cocktail
parties, when t he heat of t he sun
meets the cool of the sea, when hues
of dusty rose and mouth-watering
orange paint the sky.
You could reach f or a margarita,
a daiquiri, blended smooth and
frosty, or a rosy sangría, sweet
and f ruity and refreshing. But
why not choose the b uzz less
traveled, engage your taste
buds in a tango with the sweet
stylings of the Orange Drop M artini?
The Orange Drop M artini is a glowing glass of p ure ambrosia. One sip of the soothing sweetness of t his beverage involves
grazing your lips over the sugared r im, touching your tongue
to the seemingly luminiferous liquid, and inhaling the scent of
orange groves - orange groves which happen t o flourish within

with a healthy dose of freshly squeezed orange juice. Shake,
strain, serve in a m artini glass and enjoy!

In following up on the student vehicle burglary of Feb. 1,
the University Police Department speaks out regarding their
efforts to ensure campus safety.
Lieutenant Douglas Miller was
able to provide some additional
comments on the incident, as
well as details about the responsibilities of CSUSM Police,
Community Service Officers,
and Parking Officers.
"We (University Police)
have at most three officers on
duty at all times," said Miller,
in describing the patrol power
of the department. Miller
explained that for the three officers on duty there is a total of
304 acres plus the insides of
each building to monitor. Patrol
power is increased with the
presence of CSOs and Parking
Officers; however, the abilities
to make arrests and apprehend
suspects aren't strengthened as
much through this unity.
"Parking Officers and CSOs
are like our eyes and ears,"
said Miller, commenting on the
nature of these officers' jobs.
Officers from both divisions
can observe and report incidents, but they are not authorized to take action in situations
like vehicle burglaries. In fact,
if these officers were to take
steps toward apprehending suspects or taking individuals into
custody, they would face consequences. "CSOs and Parking Officers are students, they
are not trained in law enforcement," said Miller.
Because Community Service
Officers and officers from Parking Services must report all
incidents to University Police
before any action can take
place, response time can take
up to 15 minutes. According
to Lt. Miller, this time is much
faster compared to San Diego
State's response time of some-

W hile p lanning f or t he n ext fiscal b udget, A SI a lso prepares f or t he 2006-2007 A SI E lections.
Three factors compose ASI's
operating budget: student fees,
donations/profits, and interest
from investments.
The vast majority of ASI funds
are provided directly from mandatory student union fees, included
in each semester's tuition cost,
for both part-time and full-time
students. Each student, unless
exempt with a waiver, contributes
$50 to ASI's budget. If a student
is enrolled for all three semesters,
spring, summer, and fall, within
one academic year, the student
has paid ASI $150 to advocate for
that student's voice. These fees
allow ASI to host and co-sponsor
events on and off campus, including the Masquerade Ball, cultural
festivities, guest lecturers, and
many other activities run by student-oriented operations.
However, some funds assist
with less practical uses, such as
purchasing the North County
Times and New York Times,
or working on goals such as
installing couches in restrooms,
a goal detailed on the ASI website.
In addition to the extensive financial contribution by
students, commercial operations are typically paid for
by donations and profit from
ticket sales. ASI makes about
one dollar on each ticket sold

through their box office. Collectively, thisfinancialincome totals
approximately $15,000 dollars of
the budget, which generally goes
toward commercial operations.
The third and smallest contributor to the ASI budget is the
interest gained off of investments
in mutual funds. This equates to
about a thousand dollars within
the academic year. Interest does
not provide a large amount of
ASI's funds, but can help cushion
budgets for many events and programs.
About$120,000isusedannually
for program events on campus,
compensating guest speakers,
and hosting social events. ASI
also utilizes some of its budget to

such as the Middle Eastern Conference, Oktoberfest, and recreational activities.

located in the Kellogg Plaza, complete with
free food, games, entertainment, free-prizes
for students showing their pride, and the

and maintenance on copiers and
fax machines. Costs in this area
also include buying wholesale
tickets for amusement parks,
leisure activities, etc. ASI also
funds the Early Learning Center,
the Recreation Center/Clarke
Field House and club/ intramural
sports.
The ASI general fund budget
is decided and allocated by various ASI departments and the
ASI Board of Directors, with
approval/suggestions from the
University President and her
administration. The current ASI
administration makes the budget
for the upcoming year/administration.
June 30 is the end of the fiscal
academic year, and all departments are putting forward their
proposals this Spring to prepare
for the upcoming fiscal year.
Once decisions are made regarding the proposals and the amount
of funds available, ASI begins

drafting the general fund. Each
department decides what they
need and with all things considered, a general budget is drafted
by the main ASI Board of Directors, consisting offivekey executive directors.
ASI officers are salaried workers, but often the labor outweighs
the compensation. The presidential position for ASI pays $8,000
per term, which is one full academic year. The ASI President
has to put in a minimum of ten
hours a week in the summer and
a minimum of 20 hours a week
in the Fall and Spring semesters.
Executive officers earn $7,000 a
year, logging in the same minimum weekly hours as the president. Student representatives
make considerably less with
$1,200 for the year for a minimum of eight hours a week. All
ASI elected positions serve for a
full term from Summer semester
through Spring semester.
"We put in many more hours
than [what is required]," said
Marc DeGuzman, current ASI
president. He also adds that
"some students may feel that ASI
doesn't do anything," but actually it is a very complex organization with many responsibilities
that impact students.
ASI is currently looking for
ways to expand on commercial
operations. Foundations have
lots of control over food sales
and venders. No negotiations are
in the works, but ASI is considering other options to help raise
more funds and increase the ASI
operating budget, which means
more programs and event opportunities for CSUSM students and
affiliates.

contributing factor in the department's response time is lack of

This issue is not only felt on the
university level, but aiso countywide. "San Diego County law

As Americans, our images

booze, Montezuma's revenge,
maniacal drivers in search of
the best possible route to the
"front of the line" at the international border, etc... In any
case, a bustling Jewish community doesn't rank high on
the list. In fact, the notion of
a Mexican Jew can be downright baffling to some.

grated from pre-World War II
Europe to find a safer home in
secular Mexico. Artenstein digs
into his family's history and
uncovers the personalities of predominate members of the community. They lived just like any
other Jewish community would
elsewhere in the world.
Through the use of old photo's,
interviews with surviving members of the original community,
warm narratives and seemingly
ancient super 8 footage, Artenstein gives the forgotten community an unforgettable voice.
The film also recounts events
that happened at many Tijuana
landmarks such as the Jai Alai
Palace, Avenida Revolucion, and
Tijuana's "Centro Social Isrealista," adding a bit of history to
both well-known or otherwise
unknown parts of town.
"Tijuana Jews" is more than
an informative documentary on
Jews living in Tijuana, it is also
a colorful commemoration of an
all but forgotten cluster of families who escaped European persecution and made a comfortable
home in the prosperous environment Tijuana provided before its
economic downfall in the 1960's.
Since then, many of those families have moved into the United
States (particularly in the southern parts of San Diego County)
and have blended in with the predominant culture. Meanwhile,
their parents arid grandparents,
who experienced Tijuana's boom,
are slowly fading away.
Of course, immortalizing
these people in film is one of the
main reasons Artenstein produced "Tijuana Jews", in addition to dispelling the perception
of a Mexican Jew as some sort of
mythological creature.
The Center ARTS at CSUSM
held the showing and lecture of
"Tijuana Jews" in Room 240 of
the Arts building on Wednesday,
February 15 as part of their series

Last Thursday afternoon,
CSUSM students in ARTS 240
were taken on a literary trip
to Cuba to explore the secretive religion of "Palo Monte,"
often considered "Black Magic".
Armin Schwegler, a professor of
Spanish at both U.C. Irvine and
CSUSM, guided audience members through the inter-workings
and curiosities of the obscure
religious practices, language and
context of Palo Monte.
The lecture was presented as
part of the Black History Month
events on campus. "This is the
story of African people coming
to the New World and what was
retained as far as their culture,
language and religious practices," said Prof. Schwegler,
before speaking to the audience
as a whole.
His lecture began by narrating
the origins of the Palo Monte religion, tracing it back to the lower
Congo region of Africa and the
Kikongo language. These cultural roots were brought over to
Cuba with the slave trade during
the sugar industry boom of the
1820s. This religion is oné of
four to migrate from Africa with
the slave trade, along with the
likes of the more well-known
Santeria.
Previously thought to be a
complete pidgin, mixed with
different languages from all
over Africa, Prof. Schwegler's
research sheds light on the fact
that Palo Monte was actually
derived from the single language
of Kikongo. This finding is now
considered irrefutable by the
academic world.
The language now used in religious practice is heavily restructured, and mixes standard traditional Spanish with the Kikongo
language. This dialect has turned
into its own entity and research
has led to a translation of over
three thousand words.
The practice of Palo Monte is
characterized as being extremely
secretive, and Prof. Schwegler
spent a great deal of time in
Cuba digging deep to find his
information. His studies led him
to find that the religion is very
much alive and, in fact, thriving
all over the country of Cuba. The
lecture made a notable point of
explaining that, despite the dark
stereotype of the old African religions gathered from mainstream
media, Palo Monte is actually
practiced by all different members of Cuban society, from city
to village, from doctors to cab
drivers.
Palo Monte emphasizes the
idea of "invoking" or otherwise
working with the spirits of the
dead. Those practicing the religion build small temples with
shrine-like sculptures made of
On Campus: Student
life and leadership
BY JENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
It's a common perception that
for CSUSM students there is very
little to 'student life' outside of
the studying and traveling from
one class to the next. For those
looking to change this experience, the tools can be found in
Craven Hall 4116 at the Student
Life & Leadership (SLL) office.
"This ('no student life' label)
is a matter of perspective. For
our age and size, we are doing
very well," says Bridget Blanshan, Director of Student Life
& Leadership. She explains that
student life and culture here on
campus may not be as obvious
as other universities because
some traditions at other campuses are a lot older, due to the
fact that those universities are a
lot older.
What's nice about the fact that
CSUSM is less than 20.years old
is that it gives students today an
opportunity to become involved
in creating these lasting traditions and organizations. Furthermore, the staff at the Student
Life & Leadership office will
partner with students to help
them establish organizations,
as well as give instruction on
how to lead them. By becoming
involved in the creating process,
students are building a legacy.
At most other universities here
in San Diego, organizations have
been established for so long that
few are born while some fail to
progress.
"I have been here at CSUSM
since July 2001, and since then,
the number of student organizations has doubled," said Blanshan. According to Erika Kirst,
Coordinator of Student Involvement, there are currently over
60 clubs and organizations here
on campus, with seven new
or renewed organizations this
semester alone. With 60 organizations, there is something
for everyone, a complete list of
which is available in the Student
Life & Leadership office.
In order to change the perception that there is 'not much to do'
at CSUSM, the SLL staff works
together tirelessly with other
organizations such as ASI and
the Campus Programs and Recreations departments to encourage student involvement and
raise awareness that there are
more than enough reasons, apart
from class attendance, to stay on
campus.
In addition to clubs and organizations, the SLL office also offers
Co-Curricular Event Funding
Applications. If an organization
wishes to hold an event, such
as the Internship/College Major
Fair, or Cultural Performances,
they can and should apply for
funding. The funds come from
monies that have been allocated
by President Haynes for such
purposes.
Another often unnoticed service is the Multicultural Program. Established 3 years ago,
and continuing to blossom today,
The Multicultural Program's
office is located next door to the
SLL, and is the beginning of
what will one day be the Cross
Cultural Center. This office
offers a cozy, living room-like
atmosphere with big comfortable couches, shelves lined with
books and videos on vast varieties of cultures, and walls papered
with beautiful posters of leaders
from all over the world.
In addition to his internal
duties, Associate Director of the
Multicultural Program, Alexis
HISTORY,frompage 1
"The History Department is
very excited to be welcoming
so many community partners,
professional public historians,
and history enthusiasts to our

history department chair. "It's
a great opportunity for history majors and others to see
examples of the ways in which
their interest in history can be
continued beyond their college experience, in either a professional and career oriented
capacity, or as a personal passion."
"San Diego County has a
whole range of history museums and local history societies; the Congress of History
is a kind of umbrella organization for these local societies," explained Associate Professor Jeff Charles, who has
been working closely with the
Congress of History, as well as
others, in offering this event
at CSUSM. "Many students

and this conference will present an interesting perspective

knowledge of those who study

The Annual History Conference will be an informative
delight for history buffs, students, and all members of the
public alike.
"All local history lovers will
find something of interest and
will learn something new,"
added Richard Hann, president
of the Congress of History of
San Diego and Imperial Counties.
The registration cost for both
days is $30 per person, and
offers discounts for seniors, students, and children. All attendees will receive a complimentary
55-page book, "The Railroad
Stations of San Diego County:
Then and Now," by James N.
Price. For more information or
to register, call 619/469-7283.
S. Montevirgen, advises student
organizations with a cultural
focus, helps plan cultural events
on campus and organizes educational programs. This past Fall,
the Multicultural Program held
an event during Welcome Week
called the "Celebration of Culture". In the Spring, look forward to the veryfirst"All People
Celebration".
Other services offered include,
but certainly aren't limited to, a
web based Calendar of Events,
Cougar Wellness, Emerging

Sorority Life, Housing, Leadership Fast Tips, Orientation Programs and Tukwut Transcripts.
"There is nothing like it, in
terms of learning core life skills,"

Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Dear NBC,
Kudos on
the Summer
O 1y m pics coverage that you
guys provide
every four years, but my biggest pet peeve in sports is when
something is called a sport and
it clearly isn't. By broadcasting the Winter Olympics you
are making me one aggravated
sports journalist.
Anything that involves dressing up in a sequined one-piece
outfit while dancing on ice to a
song called, "The Swan", is not a
sport. The biggestfigureskating
star is Johhny Weir, who should
just add a "D" to his last name
and call it a day.
Anything that involves cleaning the ice in front of a large disc
that is gliding down the rink is
not what I would call entertainment. If you throw some skates
on some maids and tell them to
hit the ice, it is not a sport.
Anything that involves a
person holding on for dear life
while sliding down a frozen
chute, although it may be entertaining to see them crash, it's not
a sport.
In my mind, events fall into
three categories which consist
of activities, competitionas, and
sports.
Figure skating and snowboarding should be considered
a competition because the result
is determined by the opinion of
a judge. Sports should not be
viewed like movies. Just because
Ebert and Roeper liked your
1080 on the half-pipe doesn't
mean you deserve a 10 out of
10.
Curling is an activity, because
how can you honestly consider
an event with a broom a sport?
Bobsledding and pretty much
the rest of the Winter Olympics
should be considered activities,
not sports. The only events in the
Olympics that I consider sports
are ice hockey and speed skating
and you may already know my
feelings about ice hockey.
How can you consider these
Olympics a success? I mean
"American Idol" kicked your
freezing butts in viewer-ship on
February 14, with the wannabe
singers racking in 27 million to
your 16.1 million. Heck, at least
in "American Idol" the singers
are taunted if they suck. I wish I
could do that to Bode Miller.
It was supposed to be Miller
Time at these Olympics, but
the drunkard party animal
has been more disappointing
than a hunting trip with Dick
Cheney. There was so much
hype around this guy that he is
one of the few Olympians who
had an advertising campaign in
major magazines and networks
with his campaign of joinbode.
com. I want to know where they
want us to join Bode, at the bar
maybe, because it clearly isn't at
the medal podium?
How do you expect us to know
the rules of some of these crazy
events if you don't even know
what to call these Olympics?
Is it Torino or Turin? I think I
could get used to some of these
activities if you exposed me to
them more than once every four
years. I might actually get into
these events if you televised the
national skeleton championships,
if they even have those. Also,
your marketing for these games
has been horrible. You guys have
focused your media attention on
three competitors, Miller, Shaun
White and Michelle Kwan.
I've already told you what I
think about Miller. You would
think I would have support for
White since he is from Carlsbad,
CA but I can't stand listening
to the "dude" be interviewed. I
speak a lot of slang in my daily
life and don't always use proper
English, but I for sure don't use
it 24/7 like White. Now Kwan,
there was no chance in hell
she was actually going to compete at Turin/Torino and all the
talk leading up to these games
regarded her. You don't see the
NBA marketing its injured stars
to get people to watch their
sport. It just doesn't make business sense.
What kills me most about
these events is how disappointed
my peers are when the Americans don't win a gold medal.
Honestly, how can people be
upset that the U.S. doesn't win
at the skeleton event? It's not
like you lost your skeleton fantasy league because American
didn't bring home the gold.
Does America really have to
squash every other country in
everything? Can't we just leave
the world domination thing to
George W?
I will be waiting for your
response at Sando026@csusm.
edu.
Warm Regards,
"Jock Talk" w/Josh Sandoval

regarding the start-up of a Spring

�T he Spectre of Avarice Letter
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
There's little mind and less
matter in wondering how many
other bathroom mirrors received
similar treatment here on the last
Holy Day till the next. The offense
or offering lies not in contemplating the implications of public-private ads n' art, but in reflecting
upon the journey through society's holiday gauntlet.
No matter how well rounded
or timely we consider our relation to Holy Days, most often we
do worse than 'forget' their significance, we neglect it. From the
Winter Dates to the new calendar,
to the matching strike, the members of a comparatively diverse
society fill their moats and erect
their towers, convinced that their
concept of one holiday to the next
is not only profoundly sovereign,
but perpetually under attack.
Thus it happens, we sing 'with'
our hearts and our families while
we sing 'at' our cares and anyone
who dares to hold less wholly to
our concept of our hole. Like a
frightened animal, we crap on
anything that tries to swallow us
into its fold, or we vomit out our
gorgings for the proper nourishment of the neglected. We want
OUR plans for that particular
day to be recognized, thus projecting our exaggerated joy and
reflecting our exaggerated disgust when we should be saving it
for its source.
Rolling your eyes at someone
when they share a litany of joys,
whatever the reason, makes no
impact on your mood or their's
greater than the chasm stretched
between you both. Asking "why
don't you" when we clearly mean
"what's wrong with you" divides
you just as much. Everyone can
enjoy good food and drink, gifts,
and times of reflection; the occasion should be only a slightly
more than minor detail.
Don't be unconsciously
greedy; there are enough hours
in enough days in enough calendars for everyone. It is challenge
enough to reconcile our Good
God Tastes, the living spirits we
ascribe to our favorite things,
when so many are willing to
turn our headstones into cobblestones. This is not even to mention the choking walls that hoard
t o t he
E ditor

our refinements and rarities, our
secret and artificially shameful
pleasures. Beware the talking
hands of Avarice, of the will to
accumulate what is neither used
nor consumed, keep sure and
silent that they belong to a dealing demon rather than a riddling
ghost. In other words, keep holidays, like possessions, in progressive circulation or serene
orbit, that they become neither
chains nor an army restless for
conquest.
The shadows and shades of
your experiences are your own.
Share them as you will, but to
truly "share" them, you must first
be asked. Abstain as a choice, as
precious choice is neither desperate nor pious, as another's Holy
Day should be no more your concern than another's chosen mate.
There's enough for all, and too
much to be had to be burdened by
having it all.
As a graduate student who
pays large fees to ASI and
feels as though I get nothing in
return for my fees, I was very
excited to recieve a flyer stating that there would be free
Cirinabons in celebration of
Valentine's day. So you can
imagine my anger to discover
that your flyer was indeed a
hoax and there were no free
Cinnabons to be had. I was in
the area of the library between
11:15 and 1:00, and I saw no
students with Cinnabons, no
signs announcing where the
Cinnabons could be, and no
replacement for the missing
Cinnabons.
I know this may seem petty,
but I pay alot. Give me my
freaking Cinnabons.

BYRACHELLRAYES
Pride Staff Writer
Brown's "Angels and Demons"). The
French police needed his expertise
inside the crime scene. But he really
isn't there to help.
Langdon is actually the prime suspect for the murder.
Bezu Fache, the captain of the
French police, brought Langdon
inside the Louvre only to interrogate him. While I expected one thing,
Brown quickly changed the pace
and brought a twist at the end of the
scene.
Again, I was hooked.
I wanted to know what happened
next.
The story suddenly becomes a learning experience. Langdon's descriptions inside the Louvre sounded like
a textbook (probably because Langdon is a professor). I found it refreshing because it actually made me feel
right inside the building.
The story shifts and Brown introduces Sophie Neveu. She is a cryptologist who also happens to be the
granddaughter of Sauniere. Suddenly,
Langdon and Sophie become fugitives and race against time to solve
the mystery.
But that's just half the book in a
This year, I didn't want to fail
prey into Hollywood's latest adaptation because I hate watching a movie
before reading the book.
So I finally finished Dan Brown's
"The Da Vinci Code."
I don't want to give the plot away
but the book begins with a murder
scene. Right away, Brown hooks me
in.
Jacques Sauniere is the curator of
the Louvre. He is murdered inside the
Grand Hall of the museum and the
plot begins.
The point of the story is NOT to
find the killer. That's just too easy.
Brown tells you who the killer is. But
before Sauniere died, he left a bunch
of clues pointing out the killer and the
key to an ancient secret.
That's where Robert Langdon
comes in. He is a Harvard Professor specializing in art history and
religious symbology. But Brown's
character is not the typical mystery
detective. He's smarter. He's so good
that Brown brought him back into
this novel (Langdon first appeared in
'Vinci
nutshell. There are secret societies
involved with the Vatican. There's
a great part where Langdon gives a
brief explanation behind the meaning of Leonardo Da Vinci's, "Mona
Lisa," and there's the history of the
Holy Grail included as well.
I'll stop right there and let you
decide if you want to know more.
After reading this book, I felt not
only refreshed but smarter. This
novel is listed as a fiction but somehow, I want to believe that everything is true. With all the controversy
surrounding this book, Brown manages to keep the reader educated and
guessing all the time.
The chapters are short and Brown's
cliffhangers and sharp twists make it
easy to read. The puzzles and clues
entertained and made it impossible
for me to put the book down.
"The Da Vinci Code," has been
on the best seller's list for over 146
weeks. Hollywood just couldn't wait
to adapt Brown's novel.
The movie will hit theaters on
May 19, this year. With Ron Howard
directing the film and Tom Hanks as
the lead role, this movie will definitely be a blockbuster.

One great thing about beer is the
remarkable number of different types
available, especially when it comes to
ingredients used in a given brewing process. Although pumpkin-flavored and
brewed beers probably sound distasteful to some and seasonal to others, if its
good enough it doesn't hurt to have a sip
of it year round.
The Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale is a
squash-tinted beer that is worth a taste in
any season. Brewed by the Buffalo Bill
Brewery in Hay ward, California, this
ale uses actual pumpkin in the brewing
process, with added spices common to
pumpkin pie to top it off. Surprisingly
mild in flavor, this ale pours orangeamber in color and has a smooth texture
and feel. Featuring a hint of pumpkin
flavor and aroma, Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale has just the right amount of
spices added to give it a perfect balance.
Nutmeg and cinnamon come through the
strongest as the lead spices, but do not
overpower the taste of pumpkin and ale.
To top this off there is little to no taste
of bitterness with this beer, the majority probably being overshadowed by the
pumpkin and spices.
Sporting a pumpkin and vines fropi a

patch on its label, Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin
Ale is drinkable year-round and can usually be found in such stores as Beverages
and More and Cost Plus World Market.
�Put down something borrowed
a nd pick u p ' Something New'
BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
It's been said that love knows
no boundaries, but the author of
that phrase must have forgotten
that life indeed does. Unfortunately in a case of love, life can
put a damper on the pursuit of
happiness. Perhaps the ability for
two individuals to overcome this
damper is a true measure of just
how deep love is.
"Something New" is a movie
about the ups and downs of love
seasoned with the implications
of interracial relations. All of
this is showcased through the
story of a single and successful
black woman whose path crosses
with a charming and witty white
man and unfolds in their journey
through a romance that is entirely
unfamiliar yet comforting on
both sides.
"Something New" is directed
by newcomer Sanaa Hamri whose
previous works are with Mariah
Carey for both her Intimate Portrait, and Around The World features. For Something New Hamri
teamed up with the more prevalent Kriss Turner who is best
recognized for her screenwriting
skills on the series
Everybody Hates Chris, and
TheBernieMac Show. Something
New is also a host to an appropriate ensemble of actors such as,
Sanaa Lathan, from the movies
Life, Alien Vs. Predator, and
Love and Basketball, and Simon
Baker from the movies The Ring
Two, Land of The Dead, and Red
Planet. Supporting actors and
actresses include Donald Faison,
Mike Epps, and Taraji Henson.
The movie opens up on the life
of strict and sophisticated Kenya
McQueen (Sanaa Lathan), a
woman at the prime of her career
who is in need of two things: a
man to share her life with, and a
landscaper for her undeveloped
backyard. Kenya's three best
friends, also successful black
women, insist that she "let go
and letflow,"encouraging her to
be more lax in her standards for
dating. That is of course, until her
coworker sets her up on a blind
date with a white man. Kenya
shuts down the ever so eager
Brian (Simon Baker) and proceeds as though she'll never see
him again, until she encounters
him at her coworkers engagement
party. Impressed by the landscape
work he's done for her coworker,
Kenya employs Brian to work on
her backyard with a strictly business mindset going in. However,
Kenya's heart gets the best of her
as shefindsherself breaking with
habit and embracing difference
through the inspiration Brian
gives her.
More important than the
romance that Brian and Kenya
share on screen are the issues
the two must face, which could
be determined as the bottom
line of the entire script. Interracial dating and marriages come
under the scrutiny of all onlookers, including family, close
friends and the most harsh, critics. Within this realm of intolerance the innermost workings of a
relationship, can be tested too as
each member must in one sense
be confident and comfortable in
their own skin, and in the other
sense be able to empathize with
the implications of their partners'
race. When this issue presented
itself in the movie, viewers were
given a glimpse of a truly impressive display of honesty and emotion through acting. Screenwriter,
Kriss Turner spared no details in
outlining scenes where the reality of politics enter a romance
at any given time with no warning and the relationship's partici-

pants must either successfully (or
unsuccessfully) cope with it. Such
interactions on screen brought the
audience at Krikorian's Auditorium 7 to a chilled silence.
All in all, "Something New"
delivers on its name; a refreshing and different perspective on
an old and unceasing issue in our
nation. It leaves audiences to consume in its message as a truthful
relay of what most US American
couples face, as well as presents
a whole new perspective on the
story of black and white.
H ow To ... M ake G uacamole
1
The ultimate snack: mix, mash & dip awa
BYDUSTIN FRANKS
Pride Staff Writer
Afineguacamole is rare when
stumbled upon; it makes a great
snack or an amazing appetizer
that can feed an entire party in
just a few quick and easy steps.
This simple to make, tasty treat
will only cost you a few bucks
and will add some spice to your
college dining appetite. Everyone's got their own taste preferences, but here's a great way of
getting started and devising your
own avocado masterpiece. This
recipe makes about a cereal bowl
full of guacamole heaven, here's
what you need.
- Bowl
- Knife
- Fork and Large spoon
- (2) Avocados
- (1) Lime
-(1) Tomato
- (Vi) Onion
- A dash of cilantro
- Garlic Salt
-Lemon Pepper
- Black Pepper
Step 1: Choose your avocados wisely, the softer the better.
They should be heavy in hand,
and have a clean oily smell. If the
avocados aren't ripe yet, throw
them together in a brown paper
bag. Apparently, once one starts
to soften up it releases a chemical
that makes the others do the same.
Slice the avocados in half and use
the knife to gently remove the pit.
Use the spoon like your scooping
ice cream, and remove the avocado from the skins and throw
them in the bowl. Tip: you can
cut up the avocado in long slices
before you scoop to make mixing
easier.
Step 2: Dice up the tomatoes,
onions and cilantro and throw
them into the bowl, or take a
couple of heaping spoonfuls of
pre-made salsa and throw them
in the mix. This saves time and
cleanup, and usually we all have
salsa sitting in the fridge.
Step 3: Cut your lime in half
and squeeze into the bowl, the
more you use the tangier your
guacamole becomes.
Step 4: Add about 3/4 teaspoon
of garlic salt into bowl. Then add
lemon pepper and black pepper
to your likening. Tip: add a little,
then taste, add a little then taste.
You don't want to destroy your
guacamole by adding to much
spice. The garlic salt is key, like
the lime, it's the secret ingredient.
Step 5: Mix all ingredients
together with a spoon, the more
you mash the smoother your
guacamole will be. If you like
it chunky, use a fork and lightly
stir, resembling the appearance
of thick mashed potatoes. Mess
around with what you like and
don't. Keep adding ingredients a
little at a time to your liking and
get creative, if you like it spicy,
throw some Tapatio or Cholula
hot sauce in.
Now that you've got your
homemade guacamole, throw
it on a salad, sandwich or have
it as a side with chips. Guacamole can spoil fast though, to
keep it green and fresh save the
avocado pit, place in back in
the bowl, cover and refrigerate
immediately. Never cut up the
pit of the avocado, it will make
your guacamole bitter with a
weird texture. Enjoy your snack
or spread and remember to share
with others.

PRIDE AROUND THE WORLD
By K M SCHLATTER
Pride StaffWriter
Spring break is approaching fast; actually, it's only four weeks away. So if you
have not planned your spring break trip
yet, you'd better hurry. Most CSUSM
students are looking to vacation in a
warm, exciting, and cheap spring break
spot. So here are five that are exciting
and reasonable.
Mazatlan is known as the city of
perpetual summers. With the longest
uninterrupted beaches in all of Mexico,
Mazatlan offers exciting water sports,
great beaches, awesome parties, all night
dance clubs, great shopping and great
restaurants such as the Shrimp Factory
and Shrimp Bucket.
Mazatlan offers low cost shuttles,
tour guides and taxicabs so you can
check out some of the highlights of
Mazatlan such as: the c liff divers, the
Corona and Pacifico Breweries and
Old Mazatlan where the old Mazatlan
Cathedral is located. Mazatlan is an
unforgettable spring break experience.
When people hear about Cancun they
automatically think of non-stop partying. Cancun is fourteen miles of beautiful coastline* with clear turquoise water
and fabulous white sandy beaches.
During the day you can enjoy the sights
and sports that Cancun has to offer.
Explore the Mayan ruins, snorkel, tour
the jungles, swim with the dolphins,
golf and enjoy exciting water sports like
parasailing.
There is also great shopping and restaurants in Cancun, and if you just want
to relax, you can do so on the beach all
day. The night life in Cancun is out of
control. There are clubs and bars everywhere to ensure a vacation you will never
forget.
Get ready to kick up your feet and
relax to some reggae music, because we
are going to Jamaica man. Jamaica is a
tourist paradise. Due to the overpopulated and poverty-ridden country, the best
and safest resorts to vacation at are those
like The Sandals and Beaches resorts.
These resorts ensure a relaxing and exciting vacation. Plus, there is all you can eat
buffets and bottomless drinks.
For daytime excitement, these resorts
offer snorkeling, parasailing, boating,
booze cruises and c liff jumping. While
in Jamaica, kick back, relax, and soak up
the sun.
For those students that wish to drive to a
spring break destination here are two hot
spots that are fun, cheap and only, a couple
hours away from San Diego.

Pack right before
you leave home
ByCHADSHNKS
£ride StaffWriter
*
-
Whether you're planning to go back home
to see the family, or planning to go to
Beirut for the international marble players
competition for spring break, chances are
you need to pack.
Don't worry, because packing for a
trip is as fun as a toaster in the bath.
Wait a minute, that's not fun—who am I
kidding—packing sucks.
But still, you need to be prepared. Let's
go over some tricks of the trade. I heard
that some of these tips have been passed
down from ancient boy scout lore. But
who cares, I never wanted to be a boy
scout anyway.
First o ff, bring a toothbrush. If you bring
nothing but the clothes on your back and a
toothbrush, you should be okay. When
traveling, it's hard to receive help from
someone if you are in their face with rotten
breath, asking them where the nearest
Motel 6 is. Along with a toothbrush, bring
a razor
If you like to pack heavier, however, you
will need a bag. Anything with wheels is
a plus. If traveling through airports, it's a
must. If using a duffle bag, you can use duct
tape to attach a skateboard to the bottom
of the bag. It makes walking through the
airport easier. You can attach a rope to the
handle and pull it, or you can ride your
bag like a sled (be careful of running in
to the ankles of elderly people. This will
often create an unwanted dramatic scene.)
If you don't have a skateboard, it should be
easy to acquire from a little brother or a
friend's sibling.
Maximizing space in your bag is a
helpful practice. Rolling your clothes
instead of folding them is a great way to
save room and minimize wrinkles.
Black colored shirts and pants go a
long way on trips. You can get away with
wearing a dirty black shirt for a couple
days with no one noticing. White clothing
will instantly become a magnet for coffee,

In a post 9-11 world, travel to
the Middle East is not the way
most Americans want to spend
their vacation. Mention Israel
and images of burned out buses,
bombed restaurants and Merkava tanks rolling through the
West Bank permeate our minds,
it is a wonder anyone would go
at all. It is a shame because,
Israel, a country smaller than
New Jersey, has more to see and
do than most European destinations.
Jerusalem is a great starting
point and aside from how utterly
beautiful it is one of its striking
features is that every building is
made of stone. In ancient times,
it was believed Jerusalem was in
heaven because it was always in
the clouds and the long, steep
ride from Tel-Aviv helps one tp
understand this.
Standing I n the old city, the
view in any direction is breathtaking. Valleys and hills abound
with neighborhoods and forests
and it does not take too much
to imagine you are back i n
biblical times. Jerusalem has
so much history and religious
significance, it can be almost
overwhelming. To avoid this,
simply get lost in the old city and
wander through the Armenian,
Arab, Christian, and Jewish
quarters. Take in the smell
of aromatic spices and strong
Turkish coffee that can be found
everywhere. At some point,
you will want to see the Wailing Wall, Judaism's third holiest
site. It was the retaining wall
to the second temple before the
Romans burnt it down in A.D.
70. It is fascinating because on
top of it lies the Temple Mount
and the Al-Aqusa; Mosque,
Islam's third holiest site.
The Holy Church of the Sepulcher is right down the road; it
was built at the spot where Jesus
was nailed to the cross. The
Brave traveler can also venture
out to Yad Vashem, Israel's holocaust museum that is enormous
and at times difficult. It's also
where all visiting heads of state
are brought.
Tel-Aviv is completely different from Jerusalem. In this hundred-year-old city, you will feel
like you are in Miami. There are
modern high rises, fancy restaurants and very chic young people
talking on cell phones wherever
they go.
There is a very long promenade on the beach where TelAviv sits and it is lined with restaurants, bars, and clubs where
if you do not look good enough,
you do not get in. Jerusalem
feels like history and religion,
Tel-Aviv screams party, which
they do until seven in the a.m.
There are tons of art galleries
and historical museums. It's a
fast paced town and the best way
to see it is to just wander around
and get lost.
After all the history, museums
and ancient ruins, it's time to just
relax and head out to the port city
o f Eilat. Only five miles wide, it
sits in the red sea between Egypt
and Jordan.
Eliat is about beach bars and
Vegas style hotels. The desert
is right at its doorstep and riding
a camel can be an interesting if
not smelly adventure. Eilat also
offers submarine tours and has
an interactive dolphin park. The
reefs in the Red Sea are some of
the best in the world for diving
and the water is warm and inviting with lots of tropical fish.
Nightlife, it doesn't matter where
you go, is cranking. This is a city
of guilty pleasures.
Israel doesn't require a visa
for Americans and if booked in
advance, round trip tickets can
be around six hundred dollars.
It is not the most popular destination but the exchange rate is
good and there is a lot to do.

salsa, ketchup, wine and numerous other staining

If flying, I advise anyone to avoid checking
luggage on a flight unless they have to. A good
trick to provide more carry-on room is to wear the
bulkiest clothes on the plane. You spare valuable
baggage room, and if you wear a large jacket with
many pockets, you can stuff them with books, CDs,
or more clothes. (Warning: you will have to empty
out all contents of your pockets at the security
checkpoint. Putting underwear i n your pockets
might be embarrassing, but if you have an unusually
amusing taste in underwear, go for it.)
Know your clothes. Bring your most versatile
outfits. Pack clothing that you can be comfortable
wearing in hot or cold climates.
Always check the weather of your destination.
This can save a lot of hassle, but as we all know,
weather forecasts can be wrong. Bring along at least
one pair of clothes that would accommodate weather
opposite of what the forecast says.
Most importantly, have fun and be safe.

PUERTO RICO offers
the best of the Caribbean
ByTORFREED
Pride StaffWriter
Puerto Rico is often the starting point for people taking
cruises around the Caribbean.
Unfortunately, that means most
people only spend a day there and
miss much Of what this exciting
island has to offer.
Everyone likes a tropical destination and Puerto Rico will not fail in
that regard, but it also has a lot of history, a vibrant culture and all the modern
amenities that people love. Puerto Rico
has lots of mountains iathe center of the
Island for hiking, world-class surfing
in Rincón and even horseback riding.
There are also excellent golf courses for
those wanting a more 'Hawaiian' vacation.
Whether you want a rugged, adventurous holiday, being a beach bum or clubbing in San Juan, it's all there.
San Juan, the capital city of Puerto
Rico, is really two parts. The main
city has been built up, is very modern
and serves as the banking center of the
Caribbean. Here you'llfindtrendy cafés,
fine restaurants and trend-setting clubs
with some of the most beautiful people
in the world. It's easy to take it all in,
lounging on the beach, and then go clubbing at night.
The old city was revamped in the early
90's to retain its traditional Spanish
architecture. Here you'll find old buildings in bright colors and cobblestone
streets—remnants of Spanish settlers
who tried to make it like home. This is
the place to be: most of the tourists don't
frequent the bars here and you'll run into
some really wonderful locals. At the end
of the city is Old Fort Morro, a sprawling
park that used to house cannons to protect the Island from invasion.
Leaving the city and driving through
the countryside is quite interesting,
Things stop being so modern and
become much more cultural. Rincón is a
fun place, not only because it has some of

the best waves in the world, but because
it's a sleepy town and the beaches are
relaxing. It's not unusual to see roosters
roaming about or wild yaks in someone's
yard. The people are very laid back and
the town is quiet, perfect for some rest
and relaxation.
Puerto Rico also boasts the highest
point in the Caribbean, the Arecibo
observatory. It's a bit of a drive to get
there but the view is breathtaking and
y o u can see much of the Caribbean for
miles. While you're there, for those that
like hiking there's a really interesting
hike down into San Cristobal Canyon.
it's literally a chasm in the middle of
the Island that you can follow to an old
quarry with great swimming. The vegetation is lush, and the waterfall at the
end of the quarry is not to be missed,
Puerto Rico has a few other interesting
attractions as well. The Sea of Mayaguez
has phosphorescent water. There are tour
boats that go out at night and anything
that touches the water sets off a natural
light show because of all the algae. It's a
f U n ride and unlike anything you'll ever
see.
The Luquillo beaches, a little east of
San Juan, are some of the nicest anywhere. Long strips of clean white sand
with public bathrooms and cafeterias
make it very popular,
since Puerto Rico is under the jurisdiction of the U.S., travel i s easy and
the currency is the U.S. dollar. You'll
find everything inviting: the culture, the
people and the food are all top-notch.

By SARAH CARLIN
Pride StaflfWriter
The only appropriate answer
to the question, "What was it like
living abroad for an entire year?"
is the cheap one. The cheap
answer is at the same tiijje the
most honest: "I can't."
In a quaint college town in the
south of Germany was where I
lived for an entire year. A s sleepy
as the town felt most of the time,
never have I felt as awake as I
did living my life somewhere
completely different to what I had
known up to that point in my life.
I could write about the endless
churches and castles I saw during
those twelve months, but the
memory of the grocery store is
what permeates most strongly. I
can smell the fresh baked pretzels
and the cheese. I remember my
walk through the snow, down the
bike path, past the yellow phone
booth and the geese that would
honk at passers by.
The grocery store closest to my
east-German-esque style living
situation was the HL-Markt. This
grocery store was unlike any
major American grocery store; not
SlB

only
was hot, spicy food sometimes difficult to find, only: three
check-out stands and a myriad of
sausages, but a number of other
things I had to become accustomed to.
Take for. instance, when in the
German grocery store, or farmer's market, one must not touch,
feel or squeeze to test the ripeness
of any fruit or vegetable. I found
this out the hard way one morning
while examining avocados at the
market.
"Was machen Sie!?!" said an
older German frau. I was confused, dropped the avocado in
the bin, and walked away a bit
perplexed. Germans have a very
stern language at times, and the
approximate English translation
of my encounter would be, "What
the hell are you doing!?!"
My grandmother, who is originally from Berlin, and currently
lives in the Los Angeles area, just
as she has for the past forty years,
explained to me when she came
to visit that Germans do not feel
fruits or vegetables at the grocery
store. She also explained to me
that this was a benefit as she sees
it to living in America: testing
your produce prior to purchase.
Another thing I could never get
used to was the idea of standing
in line at the store.
There is no personal bubble, that
space you own wherever you go,
like there is here in America, that
everyone else is keenly aware of.
People breathe on you in line.
You feel every exhale of the guy
standing behind you on the back
of your neck.
After much aggravation I
adapted. I couldn't change the
people standing in the line, but
I could change the way I was
standing in line. I began placing
the basket on the floor between
my legs and standing over it
sideways. I was happy not to be
breathed on, and no one really
noticed my change in position.
Here, in America at the major
market chains, consumers choose
from ten different checkout
stands at any given time, whether
it's 4 a.m. or 12 p.m. If the line is
three or more people long a new
check stand opens and customers
will ask the person next in line to
go ahead.
It took me a long time to get
used to the German system of
check stand lines. There was
never, in my experience, a time
when I was asked to go ahead
because I would be the next
person to be checked out. Instead,
whoever could run, push or shove
his or her way through the quickest was the winner.

Cafe's line up the sidewalks in Germany.
It took a very long time to get
used to this. I thought everyone
was just rude. I should have
caught on sooner, but didn't really
feel comfortable with the idea
of bulldozing through shopping
carts and baskets just to pay for
my items first. A s time passed,
after spending too much time in
line, there was the revelation that
I had been living in the country
long enough that I should really
attempt to fit in better.
On one particular frosty December morning, the line was at least
ten people long and there was
only one check-out stand open. I
saw from the corner of my eye a
teenager, Fanta and chocolate in
hand, waiting on the side for the
new check-out stand to open. I
slyly left the second to last spot in
line and pretended to examine the
chocolates. I watched the woman
from the corner o f my eye take
her seat at her cash register, and
then swooped in with my basket
of goods.
I felt a little- guilty, like cutting
in a line of cars by using the freeway shoulder—not that I would
ever do that. I looked around as
I placed my items on the conveyor
belt to see the faces of my fellow
shoppers, but there weren't any
angry expressions on the faces of
anyone in line. I had successfully
made them think I was German.
After this turning point, living
in my cute college town was different. Instead of pin-pointing all
of the similarities, or the differences between Tubingen and my
hometown, I started living where
I was, and stopped living somewhere in between the two.
The shock & awe of
a Spanish Bullfight
By ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride StaffWriter
The best part about traveling is the
unexpected events that happen to you. I
like to refer to these as "blessings in disguise" because these are the moments that
will stay with you forever.
On my way to Barcelona, Spain I got
stuck in Seville. Getting stuck was really
me not knowing I had to book a reservation and then finding out the trains were
all filled up for the next three days.
Seville is one of the best places I found
in Europe. The people are extremely
warm and friendly; the weather is a perfect 75 degrees; and the streets are clean
and safe for walking around at all hours.
On one of my walks around the city I
came across an advertisement for a bullfight that would be taking place that day. I
thought this would be a great opportunity
for some cheap entertainment.
Well it was definitely cheap, but way
beyond entertaining.
I had never been to a bullfight before
and was so excited to see what one actually is like.
m I found out quite soon that yes, the matadors do dress in the traditional costume
that is depicted in movies.
But one new detail that struck me in the
heart was that the bulls are stabbed in the
back before they even enter the ring. And
to make the fight even less fair; there are
about 4 -6 "helpers" out in the ring protecting the matador from the bull.
A s I watched the battle from my ringside seat, I was shocked and amazed at the
brutality of this popular Spanish sport.
After the matador stabs the bull so much
that the animal can barely move, he then
makes a sort of flourish movement with
his arm and finishes the bull o ff by sticking a sword

a victorious matador.
the bull's eyes. At this point the whole
stadium stands up cheering.. .for what I'm
not sure.
The "unforgettable" moment that I
experienced at this event was when the
fifth bull came out and during the socalled "battle", the bull skewered the
matador with his horns.
This was the most surreal
image I have ever witnessed.
I saw the bull literally stick
his horns into the
matador's right thigh
and lower stomach...then lift the
man entirely o ff the
ground.
I am not sure I can say that the
bull won this fight...as soon as the
man was taken away about six men
came out and killed the bull.
This seems very unfair to the bull. It
was rough to watch a man get hurt, but it
just seems so wrong to kill the bull if he
wins the fight.
I tried to find out the next day if the
matador had died, but all the newspapers
were in Spanish.
I do not think I will ever go see another
bullfight, but I will never forget the one
that I saw.

What is it like to be an international
student at CSUSM?
Yoko Suzuki and Emily Ng explain
what it is like to be a student so
farfrom home
By JASON ROBBINS
Pride Staff Writer
By CLAUDE SAYF
Pride Staff Writer
Being far
from home is quite an experience. Being far from
home in another country and not speaking the language can be terrifying.
Yoko Suzuki is a 23-year-old senior from Kanagawa, Japan. She started her college career three
and a half years ago at San Diego State University's
English program. This program was for new students in the United States who needed to learn English quickly in order to begin college.
Moving to a new country for school is a very
adventurous thing to do. She felt only excitement
when she got here. Living in San Marcos, she
started at Palomar College getting her general education requirements out of the way.
At that time she didn't have a motorized form
of transportation, so she bought a bicycle and got
around on it instead. Suzuki says that her bike
became her best friend for the next year and a half as
she rode it everywhere.
After completing her general education requirements at Palomar. College she transferred to Cal
State San Marcos. Her major is Sociology and she
plans on using her degree to help children in need alt
around the world. She aspires to work for organizations like UNICEF that help children.
Suzuki believes -that because children are the
future of the world, they must be cared for and provided with the same kind of education that she feels,
so fortunate to have.
Yoko appreciates her sociology professors
because they have been so kind to her. They never
have any quams about staying after class to help her
or making extra time for her, she says. That type
of concern and care is what she wants to share with
others after college. And given the right opportunities, she will.
It's not easy being away from her family, who own
a sushi restaurant in Japan called Shige Zushi. Shige
is her dad's first name and Zushi means sushi. It's a
family-run business that her mom, dad, and grandfather work at .
Suzuki's older sister is also away from Japan,
working as a hairdresser in Sydney, Australia. Yoko
had the opprtunity to spend last New Years with her
in Australia. They had a wonderful time enjoying
the ceremonies andfireworkstogether, she says.
For Yoko, the experience of a college education in
a far away land made her see how precious her life in
Japan really was. She is able to look at her country
from the outside in and see the good and the bad that
Japan has to offer. When, asked what she thought
about being away from her country she answered,
"You don't know what you've got until it's gone." •
How many ocean
waves do you think break between Hong Kong and North
America in a day? My estimate is about nine million;
plus or minus ten million. While nine million is plenty,
do these waves alone serve to propel dreams across the
Pacific Ocean? Or does it take something else?
In some cases all it takes is a degree from a California
university and a messy serving of the English language.
These are the incentives that guided the 21 year old,
international student, Emily Ng to CSUSM.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Emily left her
homeland to finish high school in Canada. Upon
graduation, Ng then left Canada for a college
she had heard about during a college fair. This
college was Cal State University San Marcos.
"English is an international language," said Ng in
explaining why she chose to attend an American school.
Acting congruent with her reasoning; she selected Global
Business Management as her major. As her travels and
studies reveal, Ng is a truly international student.
When Ng is able to ignore the wailing pleas of her
text books, she enjoys partying, dancing, and time with
her friends. While a lack of confidence once inhibited
her personality, Ng says she has established friendly
relationships through the International Club. Despite
the radness of San Marcos and the new Starbucks in
the library, Emily and her friends prefer downtown San
Diego for social activities. In comparing San Marcos to
her birthplace, Ng said "Hong Kong is more fun." There
is no doubt.
Sometimes it is difficult to have fun inside the
classroom too. Emily understands most simple English
words but has trouble with the more complex ones.
Fortunately professors have acknowledged her limited
English in a positive manner. She says that instructors
have exhibited patience and effort in dealing with her
situation.
When it comes to the more concrete components of
our campus, Ng has mixed feelings. "I expected a bigger
school." This international student, who essentially
traveled thousands of miles to learn English and attend
college, had no clue as to how small the CSUSM campus
was. She said she expected the community to be more
populated and for there to be more sports teams.
It is indeed hard to recognize our campus as small
without the aid of blue prints or a visit. But it is easy
to imagine some of the lumbering difficulties that may
subdue even the most spirited of international students.
Ms. Ng includes the language barrier, financial issues,
and self-reliance on her list. She has a part time job
on campus to help nurture her finances and must rely
on herself for every other challenge. Yet it is clear that
being^away from home has its benefits. "I enjoy being
alone sometimes." Ng said there was too much pressure
at home. This comes from a working student from Hong
Kong up against a language barrier and the doldrums of
San Marcos.
' For Emily Ng, waves were not what propelled her
dreams across the vast Pacific. It was not several soulenriching, will extracting, ocean sunsets that forced her
to reach past the horizon. It was education and English.
And it was the resolve to be truly international. Emily's
best experience at CSUSM: "Meeting new people."

Lit S tudies g ets
an I nternational
p rospective f rom
Professor Moukhlis
ByTOM PFINGSTEN
Pride StaffWriter
Salah Moukhlis is clicking through a photo album
on his computer of pictures he took the last time he
went home to Morocco. Little black-haired nephews,
dusty roads and colorful marketplaces fill the screen.
"By the way," he says, pausing on a photo of an ornate
brick building, "that's the oldest university in the
world."
The irony is not lost on Moukhlis, whose education
has taken him from Morocco to England and Long
Island. He teaches literary theory at CSUSM—one
of the youngest universities in the world—while in
Fes, Morocco, his counterparts have been instructing
students since A.D. 859.
During his time as an undergraduate in Morocco—
and then during later work on his M. Lit in Victorian
Studies in England—Moukhlis focused exclusively
on British literature. But after having a drink with a
colleague in Morocco, where he taught college classes
for 12 years, Moukhlis decided that he needed to study
literature from "The Maghreb."
After awakening to the world of African writing,
Moukhlis says he remembers thinking, "Hey, I want
to read something about myself, about my people."
With that in mind, he began working on his PhD
in Comparative Studies at Stony Brook University in
New York, with a focus on the Maghreb,
"Maghreb" is the Arabic word for "west," but serves
as the name for the country of Morocco, situated on
the north-west corner of Africa. Maghreb literature,
written mostly in Arabic, has been heavily influenced
by the years that Morocco spent as a French Protectorate (1912-1956).
The diversity Moukhlis has experienced in his
education makes for an interesting take on literature:
British traditionalism with an African postcolonial
twist. While Moukhlis has studied British literature
extensively, he makes no apologies for European colonialists.
"It's good to see things in perspective," he says.
"They literally carved Africa."
Moukhlis also notes that British colonial texts
played a large part in sparking his interest in Maghreb
literature, much of which exists as an answer to colonialism.
"When you read what these people have to say about
you, all of a sudden you're not a neutral reader," he
says.
Speaking with an accent that is neither wholly
French nor wholly Moroccan, Moukhlis explains that
English is his fourth language, preceded by Arabic,
French and Moroccan Arabic, a barely-distinguishable Arabic dialect. He is known by his students for
that accent, as well as for his quirky style of teaching
and his former "addiction" to breath mints.
They also know him for his unusual passion for
subjects widely regarded as dry and difficult to teach.
It's not rare to find Moukhlis energetically teaching
the details of Russian Formalism or New Historicism,
.pacing the classroom with his coffee cup in hand and
drawing pictures on the blackboard.
How does he explain his excitement? Turning back
to his computer, Moukhlis admits with a guilty smile,
"I just love literary theory."

If you are strapped for cash and cannot

such as Cancun, Hawaii, or Daytona
Beach alternative spring breaks may be
an interesting option. You will miss the
party vibe but the payoff of alternative
spring breaks may be rewarding.

'!'Alternative Spring
Break programs
enable
students to
participate
in helping and learning
more about the epidemic
homelessness
work with organizations such as the
YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, and
other community based organizations.
The goal is to educate students and
open minds, while giving them handson experiences toward the issues of
homelessness.
If San Diego is a little too close to
home to be spring break worthy, then
you might want to head a little north
and spend a week in Santa Cruz and
• San Francisco.
In these
cities, alternative spring
breaks offer a closer look and
understanding of people with
disabilities. Join and meet
other fellow Cal State students as they learn the rights
and laws affecting disabled
of
populations, mental-physical-cultural awareness, and a
survey of different organiza-
tions such as people with cerebral palsy
and mental retardation.
These may not be your typical spring
break ideas however, alternative spring
breaks offer something more rewarding. They offer an opportunity to help
your local community while educating
and experiencing critical issues close to
home. If you are looking to do something during spring break with a little
more substance than cheap drinks and
easy hook-ups then alternative spring
breaks may leave your heart singing
rather than heart broken.

other alternative spring breaks go to

Spring Break rip-offs
By EIJKABEra BALDWIN
Pride StaffWriter
California Student Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG)
released a report citing that students
pay on average 62 percent more for
travel.
The report found that travel companies included hidden, fees along
with deceptive marketing practices
in their Spring Break travel packages.
"Spring Break is supposed to be a
chance for students to relax and recuperate. Instead, travel companies are
using it as a chance to fleece students," said Merriah Fairchild, CALPIRG higher education advocate.
Students are encouraged to
research a travel agency before booking a package deal.
Also, beware of any company that
requires you to sign a contract waiving or limiting your legal rights to
file a dispute or receive a refund.

report on student travel go to j

�TiavdTips w / C hdseaGeags
By CHELSEA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
As spring break grows closer many students are getting ready to jet off to exotic
locations. But before you pack your bag,
here are a few helpful travel tips.
Choose your traveling companions
wisely. Nothing is worse than taking a trip
with someone and hating them at the end
of it. Pick people that you know are out to
have a good time. If your group is happy
and ready to find fun things to do in your
new locale, chances are you will be too.
Plus, if it's one of those friends that you
love to death but who drives you nuts after
being around them for a few hours just
imagine how you'll feel after a few days.
Check the weather and pack for it.
You don't want to drag around a bunch if
unwanted baggage so pack the essentials
and try to leave everything else at home.
If you already know most of your itinerary pack by outfit not by piece and try
to pick outfits that can go with the same
accessories. If you're going somewhere
warm, however, you should pack at least
one warm outfit because even deserts get
cold at night.
If you're going somewhere that requires
you to be in your bikini or trunks the whole
time, work on your tan beforehand to try to
prevent burning. You don't want to have to
stay in the hotel after the first day because
the skin is peeling off your back.
Another way t o avoid burning is to pack
your sunscreen. One that you might want
to try is Bullfrog: it comes as strong as
SPF45 and lasts extremely well in water,
though it is a little greasy.
For those traveling to foreign countries,
you can check regional recommendations
on vaccinations, food and water-borne illnesses at www.cdc.gov/travel or call toll
free 877-FYI-TRIP. It gives you helpful
ways to avoid illnesses in any destination.
For instance, those of you going to Mexico
should bring bottled water even to brush
your teeth with and not drink any beverages with ice.
Another thing travelers should consider
is trip insurance. The best policies cover
trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage and trip delay, accidental medical
expenses, in-hospital indemnity, lost or
stolen baggage, rental car collision damage
waiver and rental car personal accident
insurance. Call your insurance company
to verify that you have medical coverage
overseas. If you have a AAA membership,
you may already be covered.
If you're taking a road trip make sure
you have a fully-inflated spare tire. Bring
a flashlight, a cell phone and your A AA
card in case you have any problems and
end up on the side of the road somewhere.
Try to drive during the day and if you do
drive at night avoid truck stops and scary
neighborhoods.
For all those flying to their vacation spot,
you can avoid flight delays by flying in the
morning, the later the day goes the more air
traffic has built up and don't even attempt
to fly on a Friday. Try to get a nonstop
flight but if you have to take a lay-over try
to avoid airports known for bad weather
or traffic. Also, when packing for a plane
trip make sure to pack electronics, jewelry,
documents, medicine or any necessary
valuable items in a carry-on bag. If you're
traveling with a friend split your luggage
between the two bags so if one is lost you
still have some clean clothes to change
into.
Once you get to your destination you're
most likely going to need some cash. There
are three options: converting all your cash
to foreign currency, using traveler's checks
or using credit cards.
The problem with carrying your cash
around the whole trip is that you probably
won't get a very good exchange rate and
if something
happens to it you're^
stuck.
With travelers
checks you can cash them out
as you need throughout your trip and
if they end up lost or stolen you can have
them replaced. Meanwhile, no one else
can use your traveler's checks because
they require matching signatures and a
photo ID.
When cashing traveler's checks or
exchanging your cash for foreign currency,
try to go to a bank—they usually give the
best exchange rate, so you won't be losing
some of your hard earned cash during the
exchange.
Another way to get a good exchange rate
is to use your credit card. If you have a card
and plan to pay the balance responsibly,
use it when you travel overseas to get you a
better exchange rate that you'll get almost
anywhere. Credit card companies can get
better rates than you can, so if you charge
your hotel and restaurant bills instead of
converting travelers checks and paying
cash, it will end up costing you less.
Probably the most important piece of
travel advice for everyone is, have fun.
After all, that is what vacations are all
about.
L ETTERS F ROM A BROAD
Two csusm students write in from overseas about their experience in the United Kingdom
If you
had the opportunity to change your
life would you take it or let, it pass
you by?
Imagine travelling the world on
your weekends, having friends from
all over and gaining the experience
of a lifetime! You can have all of this
just by studying abroad. My name
is Stacy Goldstein and I didn't know
why I wanted to study abroad at first,
I just knew I had to do it. I had no
expectations, just the curiosity- of
wondering what it would be like to
live and attend a university in the
UK. Now, after one semester, I have
travelled through most of Europe
and have friends in Spain, Finland,
France, Germany, and Australia
and of course in England. I am also
involved in the International Society
and play for the University of Central
Lancashire's Women's Basketball
Team. I liked being here so much
that I decided to extend my stay for
another semester. It definitely wasn't
the cold, "rainy weather that kept me
here; instead it was the people, the
culture, and the opportunity to gain
a new set of eyes that allowed me to
see America in another light. Living
in another country has helped me gain
a better perspective on America and
the world. Don't get me wrong, I still
love America and I miss the beach
and eating carne asada burritos, but
overall, studying and living in another
country is unlike anything else I've
ever experienced, and it's something
you would have to try for yourself to
fully understand. It's so refreshing to
wake up every day and be faced with
decisions like: do I want to travel to
London or Paris today? It's so easy
to travel because the transportation
system here is so amazing and it
makes me forget all about my car at
home. The social life is also thrilling
and ongoing, sometimes I find myself
going out every night: I mean going t o
pubs is a part of the British culture and
I'm just doing my part to understand
it. The going to school part is also
great; I like the fact that you are
encouraged to call your professors by
their first names, and also that we are
not given homework or tests! At the
university I'm attending, class only
meets once a week and your grades
are based on two essays. Sometimes
it can be difficult to balance school,
clubs, sports, travelling and a social
life but then again.. .it's all a part of
the experience. All I know is that
coming here was the best decision of
my life and has changed me forever.
So, whatever your reasons are for
studying abroad, whether it be to
travel, pick up a British accent, meet
new people or no reason at all; just
stop by Global Affairs and look into
it, because it could be the best thing
you ever did too!
Hiya from Preston, UK
I found out why European
cars have such heavy frames,
'parking spaces" are half on
the curb and half on the street;
those cobblestone streets don't
help either. I have yet to drive
on what us Americans would
call the 'wrong' side of the
road but would like to try. On
the other hand, never have I
felt so liberated from my car,
or walked so much in my life.
It feels great. The streets in
town are busy with people,
unlike America's deserted
main streets. It's pleasant to
drop into a pastry shop on
your way to class or slip into
the small shop tucked away
down an alley.
I think my friend had the
best advice: "Be a sponge
and absorb everything around
you." I feel invigorated being
in a different country and
participating in other cultures.
It's easy to pick out the Brits
standing in a queue (line) for
the club, they are the ones
without a coat on whether it's
freezing or raining. In addition to the British culture,
I live with two Polish, one
German and another American. It's fun to compare our
languages, food and other
idiosyncrasies.
So . ...everyone was right,
the food has something to be
desired, but when I get desperate there is always Subway,
KFC, or McDonalds. Globalization couldn't be more
obvious. Starbucks is also a
hot spot but I have yet to find
one in my university library.
In addition to the few familiar
restaurants, the entertainment
industry is very alive with
American films and music.
In other words, it's hard to get
homesick.
I have to be honest, there are
a few things I miss - like regular size kitchen appliances,
service at restaurants and
toilets that flush. The Brits
would say, "Yeah, the toilets
are dodgy." I never knew it
was a luxury. Since the tip is
included on the bill the food
servers are very inattentive.
If you get their attention you
have to be ready to order or
else you sit around for another
twenty minutes. This is something that I need to adapt to, I
am usually eating on the go..
Traveling or 'going on holiday' couldn't be easier here. I
have already explored London
and ventured to Liverpool
(home of the Beatles), Manchester (home of the famous
football or soccer team), York
(you don't know York, c'mon),
Edinburgh, Scotland (to see
the castle and men in kilts),
Conwy castle in Northern
Wales, and this weekend, who
knows where the train will
drop me. If only the U.S. was
smaller, I would ride the train
over flying any day.
On a more serious note, university, or uni to the locals, is
structured a lot differently. It
only takes three years to earn
a bachelor degree because they
don't take any general education courses. Your chosen
major is 4 much more indepth study; hence, students
are more specialized in their
field. One of the most intriguing lessons that I have learned
thus far is others perspectives
of the United States and 'our
land of opportunity.' I never
appreciated being an American until others brought it to
my attention.
Don't miss your chance;
travel while you are young and
don't have as many responsibilities! Open your mind!
Cheers, Zoe Underhill

Quynh Yen Chau, a business
administration student at CSUSM,
died October 26 in the Cedar fire
which blazed through her small
Lakeside home.
Born in Vietnam, Quynh moved
to San Francisco and worked as a
waitress where she met her future
husband, native San Diegan John
Pack. The
couple married
and moved to
a small cabin
off Wildcat
Canyon Road.
Chau had been"

program.
"Quynh was very friendly, very
cheerful... she was always focused
on her work, a conscientious student," said family member Henry
Duong. "Each year the family has
big Thanksgiving dinner [where
she would] always talk about
school; she was a very determined
student."
Chau's family in Vietnam own
and operate a plastics company.
Chau was interested in working
with them to expand their business. Her older brother, Sinh Chau
had discussed overseas business
ventures, and Quynh had wanted
to help him bring their business to
the U.S.
On the day of thefire,a neighbor
awoke Quynh and her husband
around 1 am to warn them to evacuate. Quynh started the car while
John rescued their two large dogs.
They managed to drive away but
were somehow stopped on the dirt
road, perhaps due to engine failure
or lack of visibility. Fire officials
found the couple inside their car,
their arms wrapped around the
bodies of their beloved dogs.
Quynh Pack's ashes were
returned to Vietnam by her older
brother, Sinh Chau. She is survived
by her four brothers and sisters and
her mother, To Ha, all currently
reside in Vietnam.

Pride Ombudsman
The Pride has decided to change the format
a bit for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Therefore,
the stories in this edition will focus exclusively
on the Thanksgiving holiday and our community. The news stories we are working on will
come in following issues.
In terms of the school year, the Thanksgiving break often represents that last chance to
take a breath before the final push to the end
of the semester; often times that is just what is
needed to get to the end of this race.
Please continue with the critical commentary: it will let us know if we are covering the
stories that you feel are important.
Have a great Thanksgiving break! My email

In addition, the November 21 edition of
the North County Times reported, "Local
reservists are tapped for Iraq duty." Darrin
Mortenson reports that "at least five units
from San Diego County" will be heading
to Iraq beginning in February. The eminent
departure of these reservists, who will be
joining the already allocated units of active
Marines in Iraq, will make this Thanksgiving special for those families who are
affected. To these families, the meaning of
Thanksgiving is incomprehensible to those
who have never experienced deployment.

�New website aids educators
and students alike
B Y J O H N F RESCA
What's the key to power? Money?
Fame? Beauty ? No, it's information.
For educators and future pedagogues,
Jim Konugres, a master's program student at CSUSM, has created a new way
to get that kind of power on the "Information Highway." Called the "Administrators World Wide Web Resource
Site," it offers hyperlinks to top-notch
educational homepages.
It can be reached at h ttp://
coyote.csusm.edu/COE/admin~resource/index.html .The page offers 12
categories to browse in: "Reference &
Research Sites," "Online Journals &
Periodicals," Professional Organizations," "Special Education Resources,"
"Technology Resources," "ESL Resources," "Government Resources,"
"Unions & Associations," "Curriculum
& Instruction," "Business Services,"
"Human Resources" and "Legal Resources."
"Don't let the title of my web site fool
you," says Konugres. "It's not just for
educators. It's for anyone who wants to
find excellent resources devoted to educational issues."
Konugres got the idea to develop the
homepage from his project in his Educational Administrative Master's Program. "It seemed like the most appropriate thing to do," he says. "The use of
technology in our society is inescapable.
You can't deny the fact that technology
has become a prominent research and
resource tool in the global 20th century
society."
Knougres gathered the 100-plus links
for the page by receiving input from a
broad range of educational practitioners.
"The practitioners surveyed consisted
of administrators from urban school
districts, rural school districts, school
districts of varying sizes, public and pri-
vate schools, as well as districts with
large, second-language populations," he
adds.
The page, which was recently
hyperlinked on CSUSM's College of
Education Homepage
( http://
www.csusm.edu/COE/), has received
enthusiastic responses.
Assistant Professor Mark Baldwin, a
program co-coordinator who teaches
Educational Administration, says
Konugres has "bookmarked it for future
reference."
Konugres says he hopes visitors to
his page will find it useful. "Because
education is so important, I want
people to have an easily accessible
way to get information on it," he says.
Noting that he welcomes suggestions for improvements, he adds, "It is
as much the visitors' page as it is
mine." He can be reached by e-mail at
konugres@sdcoe.kl2.ca.us.

S tudent " voice" m erely an echo
B Y J ENIFER J AFFE
C SUSM has made a lot of progress
in changing its image from that of a
commuter school to a university since
interim president Alexander Gonzalez
took over the reins.
By next semester, students should be
able to kick back in an "outer" Dome
complete with awning protecting an
e xpanded
c ement
p atio
and
groundbreaking for a track and field
facility paid for mostly by students will
begin this summer. Both will help make
the campus more than a place to simply attend classes.
And this year's graduation activities
have changed as well. Gonzalez directed
the commencement committee to assess the annual event and devise methods for greater student participation,
according to the vice president of Student Affairs, Francine Martinez, who
also chairs the commencement program development committee.
This year's commencement will certainly benefit from the committee's decision to open up the singer's spot to
CSUSM s tudents, as w ell as f rom
Gonzalez's clout, which helped to secure actor Edward James Olmos as the
key speaker, f 1 p. \
* i 1P
But, in its quest to improve the sendoff for the seventh and largest graduating CSUSM class to date, the committee also managed to stifle the students'
most representative voice, that of the
president of Associated Students Inc.
(ASI), Joe Faltaous.
In January, Gonzalez approved the
committee's suggestion to replace the
slot held for the past three years by the
ASI president with that of a student
speaker chosen by a panel made up of
one administrator (Martinez), two faculty members, one alumnus and four
students. Faltaous met with Gonzalez
hoping to dissuade him from approving the s uggestion but t o no avail,
Martinez said. (Faltaous had clashed
with the university during the previous
year on several issues, including the
monopoly he believed Aztec shops held
on campus, and CSUSM blocked his
attempt to hire an outside vendor to
provide a copy service for students.)
The panel judged the prospective
speakers on "delivery, clarity, and organization of content,'' Martinez said,,
and read texts beforehand, not to stifle
students' comments, but to determine
if their words would^apply to all students.''
Faltaous auditioned for the slot but
was not among the two students selected to speak. Instead, he will be allotted two minutes to introduce each
speaker at the individual ceremonies,
Martinez said.
If the committee genuinely wanted to
increase ^udsrit p artieip*^
event, why would it not allow Faltaous
the opportunity to speak as well as the
selected two student speakers?
Tacking a 5 - to 10-minute speech
onto the ceremony hardly^ would make
it too long, considering that at less than
2 hours, it runs considerably shorter
than the commencements at larger universities.
Martinez said Faltaous' actions in
December had nothing to do with the
decision, and that she did not view him
as an "extremist." "We're going to keep
the ASI president in a prominent role,"
she said, adding that Faltaous would
serve as second grand marshal.
But by not allowing the ASI president,
who is elected by students, sufficient
time to deliver a thoughtful message,
the university in effect has sequestered
the voice of the student body, albeit in
a discreet and diplomatic manner.
Perhaps more intolerable is the idea
that administrators and faculty play
such a large role in selecting the student
speaker, existing on a panel that should
be filled only by students.
The committee's notion that any
speech might apply t o all students is
ludicrous, and smells an awful lot like
censorship. Political correctness taken
to the extreme is not politically correct.
The panel should not insist on deeming the speeches relevant for the same
reason it wouldn't edit the speech of
Olmos on May 23.
UCSD officials have beejn under fire

• Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has vowed
to reference the alleged sexual misconduct of President Clinton in each of his
speeches, to be the keynote speaker. But
they certainly did not insist on an advance copy of Gingrich's speech.
CSUSM officials should take a lesson
from that and not insist on screening
the speeches of its own students.

Faltaous, T erra Beachamp, Adrianne Hallford and Najwa Nasser discuss the f uture
on campus, thus allowing the group to
reach out to students.
Yolanda Barraza, internal vice president-elect, said ASI needed t o create
more representation, for a broader
range of majors, than in the past year.
According to current ASI President
Joe Faltaous, ASI achieved several important goals in the past year, the most
tangible of which was the Jan. 12 opening of the Early Learning Center, which
offers childcare to CSUSM students.
Other achievements he cited were the
boycott of Aztec Shops, extended laboratory and library hours prior to finals
and the establishment of a more professional working relationship between
ASI and the university administration.
Faltaous said the outgoing ASI board
had to be "rebellious" and "activist,"
since the university administration was
not student-friendly at the beginning of
the year.
But, during the year, groundwork
was laid for a more professional relationship in the future, he added.
But some ASI members expressed
skepticism at FaltaoJus, prediction. "The
administration wants you to fix things,
but they don't give you the power," said
ASI Secretary Erik Dawson.
"To them, students are just window
dressing."
According to Alimi, the new ASI
board plans to create a smoother working relationship with the university and
focus itself more towards meeting student needs in the upcoming year.
"We have organizations fighting
when they should be working together,"
he added. "I want to make sure board
members concentrate on students and
not on the organization itself."
ASI Executive Director Darlene Willis
echoed this sentiment. "Our goal is to
empower students," she said.
�Student S ummit provides
valuable insights into
education and politics
BY JOSE CLEMENTE
Last week, ASI President Joe Faltaous
and I attended the California Higher
Education Student Summit in Sacramento.
The third annual meeting was a way
in which students from the California
State University system could get together and d iscuss i ssues t hat are
relavent to students.
It was three days of intense meetings,
but also a time for student leaders to
learn a lot from guest speakers.
The first day, we heard presentations
from our California State Student Association leaders and then went on to
discuss the issue of CETI, the program
that would create a private partnership
between the CSU and companies such
as GE and Fujitsu. Its main goal would
be to have at least 25 percent of classes
taught through the Internet by 2010.
There was a lot of heated debate
about whether students could learn
more, or even the same, from a computer that they could from interaction
with a professor.
After that session, we broke into
workshops that ranged from "How to
Lobby," t o "Media Skills'' t o "Why
Should You Vote No on Prop 227.*Our
keynote speaker of the day was California Secretary of State Bill Jones, who
spoke about the importance of voting
and of an education. He said students
were the "vision of the future" and that
we must align ourselves with that vision to be successful in the next century.
The next day, we started by participating in a discussion of Social Security. We l istened t o s peakers w ho
warned that unless we reform the system, it will go broke and not be there
for us when we retire. All the students
took this very seriously, as this is an issue that will no doubt figure prominently in upcoming elections.
The main event of the day was the
speeches of California gubernatorial
candidates. Although all had been in-
vited, three of the leading contenders
did not attend: Democrats A1 Checci and
Gray D avis and Republican Dan
Lungren. D emocratic Rep. J ane
Harman spoke about the need to f inance education and the need to existing problems of the CSUs, among Qther
topics.
The debate heated up when it was
announced that Harman would not take
questions from students because of a
prior engagement but would take them
from the press, in the media room of the
Sacramento Convention Center. After
c hants of "Power t o t he s tudents,"
Harman finally agreed to take some
questions from students;
She was grilled relentlessly about her
hiring of an illegal immigrant and about
the purpose of her visit. Though many
criticized her as doing the latter only to
push her political agenda, she won others over because of her competence in
handling the situation.
Overall, the CSUSM delegation was
impressed by Harman and the ideas she
brought with her to Sacramento. The
absence of Checci, Davis and Lungren
did not improve their candidacies in the
eyes of students.
The third day gave students a chance
to lobby their state assemblymen and
their senators. The CSUSM delegation
lobbied the politicians on behalf of the
education bond, which is so important
to our school. We also touched subjects
such as Proposition 227, Operation
Gatekeeper and the current CSU budget. All the politicians were receptive to
the delegation.
Overall, the trip proved to be a way in
which student leaders from throughout
the CSU system could discuss issues
that can help out all students.
Next year, the summit will be held at
San Luis Obispo and I would encourage any student who is interested to attend. The experience is invaluable and
the cost is low as Associated Students
Inc. will cover the majority of it.

Sleep deprivation a c ommon malady for many students
B Y L ODIA O RAMAS
As everybody knows, there are only 24
hours in a day, no matter how you try
to stretch it. Particularly when you're
cramming for an exam.
But, as few students may realize,
some experts are now reporting that if
you haven't had a good night's sleep,
it's a lot harder for you to recall what
you studied the previous day.
Sleepy people, according to a recent
report on CNN, are accidents waiting
to happen, particularly behind the
wheel of a car. When you get less than
six hours of sleep a night, the experts
said, you can expect headaches and
mood changes at best.
In addition, reaction times slow
down and concentration is severely
limited.
Some sleep experts interviewed recently on television insisted that from
the body requires nine hours of sleep
a night, not eight, as had been recommended for years.
But, in this age of 24-hour supermarkets, health clubs and drug stores,
it is becoming a sleep-deprived society,
the experts say, making it a dangerous
society.
In an informal survey on campus
five students interviewed said they had
driven while tired at least once recently.
Four of them said they tried to stay
awake by opening their windows or
singing along to the radio.

But, the experts say, neither of these
works. Pulling over and taking a short
nap is the only safe answer, they add.
Students, too, may not be getting the
most results out of late-night cramming and paper-writing, the experts
say.
That, indeed, may be mandatory
from time to time, they add. In those
cases, one way to help make it through
the next day with most faculties intact
is an afternoon power nap.

I felt a touch of sadness as I drove onto campus on Tuesday the 28th and saw the signs
for the blood marrow drive. The weather
was beautiful that day — finally a really
warm day, the semester starting to wind
down — what better a day for having a drive
to give life to others? How could that possibly create sadness?
The sadness sprang from the odd juxtaposition that many were going tofindthemselves forced into that day. The fact that a
noble cause was, yet again, going to remind
some people that a simple fact of their lives
leaves them in an awkward, and frequently
stigmatized, position.
The problem with the bone marrow drive
is relatively simple. Bone marrow drives,
like blood drives, have to be sure that transfers of marrow or blood are not going to result in infection of the recipient with HIV,
the virus that causes AIDS. To insure this,
such drrves juse relatively simplistic biit
cost-effective procedures to screen out
members of social groups where AIDS occurs relatively
frequently.
Though protection or other strategies
may result in no HIV infection for many
members of these groups, anyone who is a
member of the following three groups are
specifically excluded from blood or bone
marrow donation: 1) any male who has been
sexually active with another male, 2) anyone who has ever used a needle to take recreational drugs, and 3) any female who has
had sexual activity with a male who falls into
one of the two previous groups. While no
solid estimates are available, these three
excluded groups could easily represent 1 out
of every 10 people on campus
Thus, for a sizeable number of students,
staff, and faculty, such drives put them in
an awkward and discomforting position,
Signs all over campus suggest 'do the civic
Super Single:
thing, be tested for giving marrow'. And, wellmeaningfriends,professors, and campus staff
personally push them to get tested. What do
people falling into one of the excluded groups
do? It sounds easy to simply say 'no', but how
easy it is to say W in the face of a push for
doing your 'civic duty?
As an openly gay male and a professor, I am
comfortable with the awkward situations that
I faced that day when people asked why I
wasn't wearing one of the stickers indicating
that I had been tested. I simply said "I'm not
allowed to give", and on one occasion used it
as a point for education about public health
and stigma. A student that I know, however,
reported much more discomfort with feeling
excluded simply based on the fact of having
once had a sexual partner who turned out to
have used a needle for taking drugs. Unfortunately, many are left in a position like hers of
either having to 'come out' and possibly educate their friends (and maybe lose some), or
of appearing to be not mindful of their civicduties.
Possibly even more damaging is what happens to the few who walk in with their friends
to be tested, not knowing that their membership in one of the three groups means they
are not allowed to give. What do they go
through when handed the questionnaire and
find that they must leave, without showing
any signs of having given?
The civic responsibility of the bone marrow
drive is a good and noble cause, and I strongly
support the campus for being involved in such
things. But, I also feel that such drives should
be prepared for, and attempt to address, the
likelihood of unintended but emotionally
harmful consequences. Not only would this
ease the situation for members of the groups
mentioned above, but would also be helpful
for those who do not give for other personal,
physical, or religious reasons.

"1916" offers lucid
insight into Ireland's past
e
|y
n
B Y D U F F B RENNA
N OVELIST & P ROFESSOR O F L ITERATURE AT
Morgan Llywelyn's "1916" (Forge, 447
pages, 24.95) Morgan Llywelyn's eighth
book continues her preoccupation with
Irish history. "1916" is a portrait of the
Irish struggle for independence in the
early years of the twentieth century.
The novel opens with its central character, fifteen-year-old Ned Halloran,
aboard the doomed Titanic on its way
to America, where Ned and his parents
plan to attend the wedding of Ned's
older sister. The parents go down with
the ship, but Ned survives and goes
back to Ireland, a boy who now knows
that existence has "treacherous and
shifty borders."
In Dublin, Ned comes under the influence of the Irish poet and destined martyr Padraic Pearse, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Provisional Government during the Easter
Rebellion of April 24, 1916, when the
Irish nationalists, calling for severance
of all ties with Great Britain, fought a
doomed but gallant battle against their
far-stronger, foes.
Llywelyn keeps Ned close to the action
in the same way that Herman Wouk
used Pug Henry in "The Winds of War"
and Leo Tolstoy used Prince Andre in
"War and Peace," placing their main
characters alongside men who were instrumental in making history,
Llywelyn drops names that will be familiar to anyone who has followed the
Irish struggle—James Connolly,
Michael Collins, Joseph Plurikett, Thomas MacDonagh, Emmett Smith, and
many others, a virtual who's who of
Irish pugnacity, patriotism and rebellion. The narrative moves slowly, taking Ned through a rite of passage from
1912 to the cataclysmic 1916 Easter Rising battle, which doesn't occur until the
final chapters. The last 2 0 chapters (of
60) contain Llywelyn's best writing and
alone are worth the price of the book.
In the early chapters, Ned becomes part of the gathering storm,
while his sister Kathleen, living in New
York City, is cut off from the action and
becomes a symbol of Irish impotence.
Kathleen is married t o a man s he
doesn't love. She is depicted as an
"unawakened" woman, whose passions
would better serve the Irish struggle
than the role of wife to an overbearing
husband. When Kathleen rebels she is
beaten down (figuratively) and forced
to stay with her conqueror. She eventually falls in love with a priest named
CSUSM
Father Paul. The Kathleen and Father
Paul sections are authentically rendered
by a novelist who understands the demands of the heart and the rationalizations people give in order that they may
possess "forbidden fruit." Father Paul
finds himself losing his "lonely struggle"
for celibacy, while Kathleen continues
a rebellious war against her husband
and against a religious moral code that
insists on sex for procreative purposes
only." These segments parallel Ned's
own conflicted love affairs and his increasing involvement with the rebel
movement in Dublin.
Further in the story, Llywelyn
recounts numerous British atrocities
and the depressing lot of a people struggling for subsistence in a country they
cannot call their own. Llywelyn's historical lessons outlining British outrages from the twelfth-century to the
twentieth create a lingering distaste for
the way the conquerors, in effect, either
slaughtered or enslaved the Irish, believing that only brute force could civilize them.
By the eighteenth-century Irish beggary, homelessness, infant mortality,
malnutrition and death-dealing diseases were epidetoiic, prompting
Jonathan Swift's satirical essay, "A
Modest Proposal," suggesting that Irish
babies were dying in a useless fashion,
and it would sbe much better for the
British to buy them and eat them, "a
delicious, nourishing and wholesome
food" purchased for as little as ten shillings. To be sure, Llywelyn's Ireland is
not as harrowing a place as Swift described, but it is profoundly abused
nonetheless and the Irish plight is rendered effectively enough that most
readers will sympathize with them and
want them to repay the iron-handed,
parasitical Brits in kind. There is no
attempt at understanding the British
point of view, which may be a flaw in
Llywelyn's account. She tells us herself
that life is not a black and white affair,
but rather filled with shades of gray,
"And are there not men oil the other
side . . . is not their version of truth as
real to them?"
"1916" is fighting a war with its need to
plot events as they happened and also
portray compelling figures that can
carry the weight of the history they are
experiencing. Llywelyn's strength as a
writer is not to be found so much in creating complicated, three-dimensional
'
S
human beings as in her ability to follow a course, sewing it seamlessly into
what must have been a daunting array
of historical notes. Occasionally the
existence of her copious research calls
attention to itself as when she insists on
bringing up the nineteenth-century
Irish famine which sent millions of Irish
to early graves and millions more to
American shores. The discussion of this
sad history is given in a dialogue between Ned and another fifteen-year-old
boy and the conversation is a conversation of notes, rather than of teenagers telling each other what they know.
For such a s easoned writer
Llywelyn can be curiously flawed at
times, writing lines that are jarringly
formulaic—"He understood what she
was feeling and opened his arms. She
folded herself into his embrace like a
bird settling into its nest. They stood
holding each other, letting their bodies
do the talking." But she can also write
lines that are immaculate—"The other
Lancers lay dead at the foot of Nelson's
Pillar. High above them the admiral
stood impervious, though his nose was
freshly nicked by a rifle B ullet.... [A
woman] seated herself on the shoulder
of a dead horse and patted it solicitously, then burst into raucous song."
To Llywelyn's credit the latter descriptions are more prevalent than the
former.
She weaves the tapestry of her
story with intelligence and skill and
gives us access to a period when the
bullets flew and patriots gave their lives
for the ideal of freedom, not knowing
thatfromthe ashes of their martyrdom
"the right of the people of Ireland to the
ownership of Ireland" would be acknowledged and an Irish Republic born.

The moment I entered St. Andrews Golf
Grill in San Marcos' Old California Restaurant Row, I felt like I had stepped
onto a golf course, literally. Myfirststep
landed directly on a putting green; that
is, an artificial putting green, complete
with several holes andflags,putters and
balls supplied.
Here, would-be golfers can practice
their putting stroke while waiting for
lunch or dinner. On one side, tables line
a brick patio around the s id§ of the
green for those who just want to watch.
On the other, there's a quaint, naturalwood room that resembles a clubhouse.
I almost looked for a starter instead of
a waiter.
Old golf clubs line the walls, a niblick
(pitching wedge) with a hickory shaft
and a Stenectady putter from 1913,
along with a variety of golf memorabilia.
There are pictures of the legends of the
past to today's legends in the making.
St. Andrews Golf Grill was the concept of owner Jim Ileitis, a former golf
professional and teaching pro. Feltis
adopted the name from the Royal &
Ancient St. Andrews Golf Course in
Scotland, considered the Mecca of the
sport.
Unfortunately, though the atmosphere is birdie quality, the food is a
bogey at best.
The "scratch player" entree consisted
of grilled turkey breast covered with
jack c heese b etween t wo s lices of
toasted wheat bread. It was bland and
was served without lettuce or tomato.
The "Babe Chips" on the side looked
and tasted somewhere between a thin
steak fry and a thick potato chip. I
washed them down with a cold iced tea.
The starter, uh, server, brought me my
check, which totaled $7.91. That wasn't
too bad, but considering the plainness
of the meal, I felt I overpaid. All the
items on the menu have names pertaining to golf. There was the "Caddy Shack"
burger, char-grilled on a wheat bun for
$5.95. On the dinner menu, there was
the "Torrey Pines" primavera, fresh vegetables served on pasta, with a salad and
"Babe Chips" on the side for $9.95.
The appetizers were named after famous g olfers, i ncluding t he "Lee"
(Trevino) c hili-pepper p oppers for
$5.95 and the "Tiger" (Woods) chicken
tenders for $6.95.
A variety of beers are offered on tap,
including Guinness and Sierra Nevada.
Pints are $ 3 during happy hour (4-7
p.m.).
Basically, St. Andrews is a sports bar,
complete with pool table in the back,
several TVs and, of course, a video golf
game. Overall, it's as a fun experience.
But don't go for the food, go for the
green!

�Part-time Prof's cold
on labor unions
BY
L ESLIE
P EARNE
P ART-TIME PROFESSORS
around the
country are beginning to form labor
unions in an effort to secure better pay
and b enefits, according to The
Chronicle of Higher Education. But
don't hold your breath waiting for such
a move at CSUSM.
Last year, 1,000 adjunct professors at
the University of Alaska in Fairbanks
formed a union and nearly 2 ,000 parttimers in New Jersey's state colleges did
the same.
Adjuncts at Columbia College of Chicago currently are in the process of rallying in an effort for more money (a
minimum of $ 3,000 per course) and
say in decision-making.
CSUSM part-time professors who
make up slightly more than half of the
faculty are not in the process of forming a separate union. Some indeed belong to the California Faculty Association, a union representing university instructors.
Few CSUSM adjunct professors volunteered to even comment on the question.
Adjunct Professor Elizabeth Clark, the
campus' only French instructor, said
she didn't have the time to participate
in a union and also would not relish
paying the monthly dues.
Keith Dunbar, an adjunct math instructor, said he was not interested in
unionizing because his goal was in
reaching a full-time teaching position.
Both Dunbar and Clark said they liked
teaching at CSUSM and stressed that,
as adjuncts, they received positive support both from full-time faculty members and other part-time instructors.
"Dr. Stella Clark, my department head,
is very supportive of me and my ideas
with the program," said Clark.
About 225 college-level institutions
around the country have unions that
jointly represent full and part-time faculty members, according to the National Center for the Study of Collective
Bargaining in Higher Education. The
California Faculty Association represents full and part-time professors at
CSUSM, but not all faculty members
choose to join it.
The Chronicle of Higher Education
reported that it is difficult to unionize
part-tiinef instructor becaiis<£ "tKe^re
transient, they don't haveriiuchmoney
to pay dues and they are more vulnerable to firing."
But other part-timers say they see no
need to unionize since they aren't exploited, The Chronicle reported.
CSUSM has one of the youngest faculties in the country, according to
Norma Yuskos from the Public Affairs
Department. Hie high ratio of part-time
to full-time professors in the College of
Arts and Sciences reflects CSUSM's
rapid growth rate and constant academic concentration shifty she said,
adding, "This will continue until the
university finds its niche."
There are 112 full-time faculty and 113
part-time in the College of Arts and Sciences, most of whom teach exclusively.
Only one of the 10 part-time instructors in the College of Business Administration, Bahram Scherkat, teaches exclusively. The remaining nine have jobs
outside the university.
The College of Education has 57 parttimee and 27 full-time professors.
The Chronicle reported that part-timers account for more than 4 0 percent
of college faculties nationwide.. Such,

�Canine partner affords greater independence
to disabled student
B Y J ENIFER J AFFE

Buddy a f ew m onths
V
w
ago, he mentioned that
Franklin D. Roosevelt once said that
having a dog in the White House was a
sure way to snag some friends.
Though a canine indeed may be the
ultimate ice-breaker, there are times
when people simply pay too much attention to a dog. Just ask CSUSM senior Kristin Jensen, whose dog is close
to a necessity most of the time.
Jensen, a political science/liberal
studies major who has cerebral palsy,
adopted a 2-year-old golden retriever
f rom t he Canine C ompanions f or
Independence's Southwest Regional
Center in Oceanside.
Lee Pieterse, development associate
for the regional center, said one of the
organization's biggest dilemmas is the
frequent distraction people inadvertently provide when they pet a working
dog.
"People want to pet the dogs, that's
why they are called pets," she said. But,
she added, it takes a while for the per^
son with a disability to regain the'atT
tention of the dog.
CCR is a non-profit organization,
funded through charitable donations,
that trains service, hearing and social
dogs for people with disabilities other
than blindness.
Jensen named her dog "Eisenmenger"
(or "Eisen" for short) after a person who
had made a significant donation to the
Oceanside center. Now the two travel
just about everywhere together.
Jensen expressed frustration with the
frequent interruptions she has experienced since adopting Eisen six months
ago. "Sometimes people will pet her and
they don't even acknowledge I'm here,"
she said. "Then she gets distracted and
I spend anotherfiveminutes getting her
attention back. They don't realize she's
working. This is her job."
Initially, Jensen was hesitant to adopt.
"I didn't want to take the dog away from
someone who really needs one," she
said, adding, "I'm incredibly independent."
But that's just the type of people CCI
is looking for, because of the dogs' significant care requirements, Jensen said.
"Eisen is like a child. I have to make sure
she has water. I have to make sure she
has toilet time."
In return, Eisen helps Jensen with a
variety of daily tasks, such as pushing
elevator buttons, picking up dropped
items, flipping light switches andopeniiig; doors by pull-rop|es. Th£dogui|derstaiidsc4oflitferentcorhmVnds.'
John Segoria, the coordinator of Disabled Student Services, said Eisen is one
of only two service dogs on campus. The
other is a black Labrador guide dog. He
described Jensen's dog as "damn good,"
adding that not too many dogs have impressed him. "They definitely have their
place," he said.

i fe Source Food Bank, a food
service provider for North
. County's HIV/AIDS commu
JLmmJrn nity, has b een getting h elp
from some CSUSM sotiology graduate
students.
Beginning last fait, students in Don
Barrett's Social Research Process class
volunteered for a research project at the
Oceanside food bank to get an idea of
how a non-profit agency works. They
are now in the process of analyzing data
taken collected during that time to analyze how effective the bank Is to its clients.
"Our grad students ih^ociblogy are
learning to be applied sociologists/' said
Barrett. "So they are learning to work
within the community and conduct research."
For the first half of the fall semester,
he added, the students volunteered to
work at Life Source to become familiar
with how the food bank operated. During their work, they interviewed a number of the clients to get a sense of how
the agency was perceived.
Then, they developed a questionnaire
to evaluate how satisfied the clients
were with the service. "We collected that
data during the winter and we're analyzing it now," said Barrett. "We'll
present the information to Life Source
in the spring."
"For the most part, the clients were
receptive in helping the students complete the surveys," said Steven Copelin,
director of the bank. "If there was any
hesitation in not doing the survey, it
was because of the length."
In addition, the students learned that
Life Source was an important social setting for North County residents with
HIV/AIDS, Barretfsaid. "It's not only a
food source, but a place where people
can go and talk to other people," he
added. "It also serves as a meeting
ground in getting information to new
treatments, doctors and how to handle
the case management system."
Copeland agreed. "It is a very social
atmosphere," he said. "The clients don't
mind talking to other people."
For many in the class, it was*the first
time they had been involved with an

C.S. and U.C. systems bank on new energy agreement
BY
R ICHARD
T he P ride
M AUSER
T • 1 h e Cal State and UC systems,
taking advantage of opportuni
ties in the new deregulated electricity market, recently signed a new energy agreement that will save the two
state institutions more than $15 million.
The four-year agreement with Enron
Energy Services of Houston, Texas,
guarantees the two university systems
a 5 percent discount on their annual
electricity costs.
This will result in estimated savings
of $1.5 million a year for CSU.
Under the agreement, Enron will provide electricity to all 2 2 CSU campuses
arid all nine UC campuses. It is the largest direct-access electrical energy contract in the country.
"It's a good deal," said Tom Blair, director of Facility Services at CSUSM.
But he added that he will have to wait
for more information on the campus'
energy usage before he can say exactly
how much CSUSM will save, CSUSM
now spends nearly $ 700,000 per year
on its energy costs, according to Blair.
CSUSM will not have to make any
major changes to facilitate the new energy provider, Blair said, adding that the
only change will be in the university's
main metering system.
Enron will install its Interactive Metering Solution, the only nation-wide
wireless metering system, on all 31 campuses. It allows constant monitoring of
energy consumption, thus providing
school officials with a way to control
any sudden increases in energy usage.
Enron also will work with CSUSM to
realize even greater savings by reducing t he c onsumption of e lectricity
through an extensive package of energy
services.
In this package, Enron will provide the
university with strategic savings plans
and will conduct annual workshops
dedicated to energy services. Additional
services such as account preparation,
commodity and customer services and
billing will also be included.
The collaboration between the two
university systems is part of an effort
by CSU to increase productivity so it can
channel more resources away from administrative costs and toward educational services for students.
"By working together, UC and CSU
have been able to leverage our size to
obtain the maximum pricing advantage," said Richard West, CSU senior
vice chancellor for Business and Finance. "These are the kind of collaborations we will continue to seek in the
future as we address the challenge of access to quality higher education in a
time of expanding enrollment and limited resources."
The UC and CSU systems previously
have used their combined buying power
to purchase such things as furniture
and scientific equipment.

H
a ve you ever felt
like someone was
p eeping at y ou
through the space
separating the bathroom door
from the floor? Have you ever
sat in class, not understanding
a word the professor is saying?
If so, you have something in
common with Yasuko Fujita,
an i nternational s tudent at
CSUSM.
Fujita thought she knew everything about life in America.
She had an American friend,
watched American television
programs and movies and read
books about the USA. What
s he f ound o ut, t hough, w as
that life in America was noth?
iftg like the monies.
Fujita came from Chiba, Japan, a city close t o Tokyo, 2"
years ago t o study at CSUSM.
Rather than follow the path of
m ost international s tudents
w ho begin their s tudies at a
community college, she chose
to jump right into the rigorous
studies of CSUSM's Literature
and Writing program.
At 2 6 years old, she said she
felt "too old" to study at a Japanese university. There, a ma-
jority of students are no older
than 21.
Here, Fujita was pleasantly
surprised to find that she was
often among the youngest i n
her classes.
l i f e as a CSUSM student was
n ot e asy. There w ere b athrooms with "peep-holes" and
professors who spoke in a language she couldn't understand.
She didn't know the first thing
about writing papers. But she
knew where to look for help.
She s pent many hours in
CSUSM's Writing Center. She
w as there s o much that her
-friends began t o wonder if she
w ere l iving t here. She a lso
spent many hours in the computer lab.
But she found more than just
academic assistance in both.
She m et m any p eople and
formed many friendships. "I
made lots of opportunities to
u se t he English language,%o
s he says. Si went t o church,
school and the library, instead
of going to Japanese communities."
But that, she said, was critical t o learning English and
American culture.
With persistence and the help
of her professors and friends,
Fujita began understanding
"What the professors were saying. She became able to write
papers on her own. She also
learned where the best places
t o eat were.
Two years after beginning her
career at CSUSM, she graduated with honors and earned a
degree in Literature and Writing Studies.
After graduating, she decided
that she wanted to teach Japanese to American students. To
prepare for the application process for graduate school, she
completed a research project
studying the language acquisition process of Japanese students learning English. She
also began studying a third language ... Spanish.
Her hard work paid off and
she was accepted to the graduate program starting this fall at
the University of Washington.
When asked what advice she
would give to other international students, s he replied,
"Keep working, study hard, and
your goal WILL b e a ccomplished."

BASS
CSU Trustee Ralph Pesqueira
will visit CSUSM on March 19
as part of t he u niversity's
Trustee in Residence program.
Carol J. Bonomo, an assistant
to CSUSM President Gonzales
and Director of Legislative &
Civic Affairs, started the program this year as a means of
getting the university more recognition at the state level.
"My hope for students is that
Pesqueira will carry the word
for Cal State San Marcos and
say why we need more buildings, why we need a library,"
said Bonomo. "To me a Trustee
is the same as a legislator be-
cause he is the one who is going t o carry my case t o the
state."
Bonomo is striving to get one
trustee on campus eveiy spring
and one legislator on campus
every fall. Assemblyman Bill
Morrow of Oceanside appeared
last fall. Pesquira is the second
trustee.
"The neat thing is, sure we
can talk about it (our campus),
but he is going to get to see it,
see it up-close," said Bonomo.
Pesqueira, an alumnus of
SDSU and owner/president of
E llndio Shops Inc., has represented t he CSU at every
tional education.

for approximately four hours.

not for him.
Then h e c onsidered b ecoming a
teacher, he says, but decided a tutorial
role would be a better fit. "If the kids
have things going on at home, which is
the case quite a bit of the time, they're
not going to be focused on their academics because there's more emotional
needs on their minds," he adds.
"That's when I really just love getting
to hang out with the kids and talk with
them and work through some of their
problems. As a teacher, I would get to
do that, but you're most focused on the
academic."
Morales hopes his tutoring center will
have a long-term impact on students.
"Growing up, I saw how it was easy to
get involved in a gang or easy to not care
about academics, easy to continue the
cycle of going through the motions," he
says.
"Like finishing high school but then
just going straight into the work force
in a job that really wasn't going to challenge you, and you weren't going to
make a whole lot of money.
"I want them to be challenged and enjoy what they're doing and maybe go on
to college and get an education and do
something where they really feel great
about themselves."
His center has become more than just
a homework haven. "Most of the kids
that are here are Hispanic kids," he says.
"The majority of kids referred from
CSUSM are Anglo kids. It's great because we don't just want to be a tutoring place. We want to be a place where
some of the racial and cultural barriers
are broken down.
"They have t o learn t o work with
someone who is not part of their same
culture and break down some stereotypes from both ends."
The center has four rooms: a study
room with tables and bookshelves, a
computer room with three computers
and a p rinter, a m ain room w ith
couches and more tables and a garage
that serves as Morales' bedroom.
It's open Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and three tutors come each day. One is a former high
school student whom Morales tutored.
The center is completely funded by
E mmanuel Faith, a church i n
Escondido where Morales is also an intern.
Before he began the center, Morales
researched two similar sites in Los Angeles. "I'm not doing this from scratch,"
he says. "If someone's already doing it,
why try to reinvent the wheel?"
Morales says he's seen many positive
things already. "A couple of girls who
come were expelled from school for doing something they shouldn't have, but
now they're f ired up about s chool.
They're in independent study and they
bring their work and they work really
hard all night long.
"We work with them setting goals
each night. We ask them what their
goals are for the day. We ask if they're
realistic goals. If they are, then we encourage them t o work hard to meet
those goals.
"One girl's GPA jumped nearly a full
p pin^frbma i .8 to a 2.6."
A math teacher from San Pasqual also
helps out. Recently, one of his students
who hadn't performed strongly in quizzes scored 19 out of 20.
One of Morales' students says he
comes because he needed to raise his
grades: "They help me with my work,"
he adds. "Hector gets good tutors to
c ome in. I come by myself, but my
f riends c ome, too, and we work'on
things together because we have classes
together.
Just a another busy night in Hector Morales' Escondido home
"We don't have computers at home,
but we work on them when we come
here. It's close enough to walk."
Sometimes the center is so crowded
that students have to sit on the porch
steps because there isn't enough room
inside. But that isn't a huge handicap,
students' say.. As one girl puts it, "The
tutors pay more attention to us here
than at school." Only four months after opening the center, Morales says he
is considering a move. "We started this
knowing that it would grow but we
didn't know how rapidly," h e adds.
"Right now we're discussing the possibility of moving to a bigger facility to
accommodate other kids."
The center's program may eventually
reach beyond tutoring. "My dream is
also to incorporate a sports program
and t o do gang prevention programs
possibly," Morales says. "One of the
things on my heart really is kids who
get involved in gangs. Many of them are
totally bright, but they feel like they
want to belong to a group. Those are the
kids I really want to reach out to."
Morales wants the center to be around
for a long while. "This is something I'm
in for the long haul, not just the next
five years, ten years," he adds.
"If I could, I would love to do something in this capacity for the rest of my
life until I can't do it anymore. If I get
too old to work with young people, I'd
love to train adults in how to work with
young people. "I definitely want to do
something for the Latino community,
which I feel is very needed. My reward
is the kids."
Memoirs of CSUSM 'Superwomen'
B Y J OHN
I
F RESCA
t's a student. It's a mother. It's a wife.
No, it's Super woman. In celebration of
Women's Herstory Month, female CSUSM
students read personal memoirs to com
memorate the essence of womanhood. Their
voices expressed the extraordinary experiences of ordinary women.
The genre of memoir, as host Susan Fellows explained, "is a window in one's life." The women who
shared their memoirs in March, she added, illustrated
the ability of women's writings to transform seemingly unimportant details into powerfully and emotional-charged sentiments.
The women who recited their memoirs allowed the
audience t o truly feel the e motions behind their
memories, she added. Some of the highlights included:
The innocent childhood memory of being a fanatically religious Cubs fan in the 1960s in Chicago, where
A TRIBUTE TO W OMEN'S H ERSTORY
on Sundays praise was rejoiced with "a Hallelujah,
an Amen and a Play Ball."
The emotional story of another woman's "brown
bomb," her jalopy of a car, that symbolized her freedom and her courageous triumph over an abusive
husband.
The humorous account of a mother's respect for her
daughter's s tubbornness in not giving up o n a
"lunchable" in the supermarket that the mother decreed was not to be bought.
The narrative of a psychologist's wife who balanced
the many roles she had to fulfill: wife, mother, worker
and student.
The laughable explanation of a woman who explained her love of "beer-drinking dachshund dogs"
and "big-nose men."
The nostalgic piece about a 13-year-old-girl who remembered moving away from "the purple lady, the
baseball boys" and the neighborhood she called home.
M ONTH
The memory of friendship, of unconditional support, of a pregnant teenaged girl w ho recognized
that her b est friend would be there when she gave
birth.
The touching remembrance of a young girl's first
date.
The satirical recollection of a youthful girl who
encountered Catholicism, Protestantism and a rector in England in July 1966.
The adventurous excerpt of a young lady who in
1960, with her family, moved from Southern California to Nigeria, landing in the midst of a civil war.
And finally, the reminiscence of woman's grandmother who was just as beautiful a person on the
outside as s he was on the inside.
Although these memoirs, as Fellows said, were
only a "small view" in the memories, they were powerful portrayals showing that Women's Herstory
Month really is a celebration of all women.
�-Faculty
stresses that the university also is sensitive to reverse discrimination, and
adds, "Ultimately, the best candidate is
chosen, regardless of their race or gender."
What attracts educators to CSUSM?
Many factors, Cordero says, depending
on the individual. Location, size and the
school's growing academic reputation
are some of the main reasons h e has
been given by candidates for choosing
San Marcos, he adds.
Bud Morris, t he Communications
Department's program director w ho
was hired last fall, cites the composition
of the student body as a reason why
many want to teach here. "The large
number of re-entry students who are
serious about their studies make this a
desirable place to teach," he adds. The
Communications Department hopes to
hire two new professors for next fall.
High salaries, however, are not one of
the university's selling points. A large
gap exists between the salaries in the
CSU system and other comparable institutions, according to Karas.
Despite the lower pay scale, CSUSM
typically will receive dozens of applications for any given position, says Karas.
A search t eam c omposed of faculty
members will screen letters from applicants to narrow the list for any vacancy
to^approximately 15-20,
'' rhbrie' ihferi^f&vvS me3kfharrow tiie
field to a maximum of six applicants,
who are invited t o campus. Some candidates are even invited to teach a class
to gain a sense of how students will respond to them.
Student reaction to potential professors plays an important role. "You get
to see how a prospective faculty member engages a student," Cordero says.
from page 1
"A candidate may look really good on
paper, but really bomb in the classroom. All this is looked at."
Stacy King, a junior communications
major who watched an applicant teach
a sociology class, said, Si think it's good
w e get the chance to see to these people
teach, as long as it's relevant to the
class."
Students are then given evaluation
forms to rate the applicant's performance. Final hiring decisions are made
by the deans of the respective colleges
and the faculty, with Karas and Cordero
giving feedback throughout the process.
Cordero expects 12 new faculty members to be hired for the fall 1998 semester, compared to eight new positions
last fall.
Another six professors were hired last
fall to replace departing faculty. Continuing growth of CSUSM could mean
the addition of 15-17 new faculty members each year for the foreseeable future.
But funding could b e a stumbling
block. "Currently the university has one
of the lowest student-faculty ratios in
t he Cal S tate s ystem," s ays Karas.
"Which is great, but it is also hard to
afford.
"With 535 new students expected next
year,,jsome think .we should hire a certain number of faculty an& I am saying,
v
No, we shouldn't.'"
Karas said the university needs that
money for other things, like the library
collection, computer labs, technicians
and clerical support for faculty. The
q uestion of h ow many n ew faculty
should be hired is an issue that the faculty and administration continue to
struggle with, he adds

The Long Hand Road Out of Hell offers unique insights
Marilyn Hanson, the author, reviewed
placed him in jail, emergency
rooms and the forefront of media attention.
In "The Long Hard Road Out
of Hell," Manson weaves, with
unfiltere
graphic tale of betrayal, despair
and growth.
Through his bizarre childhood and chaotic rdatipnships,
we begin to "See how a frightened ChristiMi schoolboy can
become America's nightmare.
Marilyn Manson (born Brian
Warner in Canton, Ohio) introduces the reader to a familiar
world of questionable morality,
hypocrisy and media culture.
Ihe story details his relationships with a cast of characters
from a cross-dressing grandfat her t o t he f ounder of t he

Kissing a Fool a n
e motional g auntfet
BY
S
L ODIA
O RAMAS
inding love is an odyssey that
captivates even the strong at
heart. Moving from one rela
tionship to another throughout our lives makes up the essence of
who we are.
The movie, "Kissing a Fool," tests the
notion of how far friendship really goes.
Part of the quest to find the perfect life
partner, it postulates, is realizing who
you are.
Told through a narrator, it pits two
best friends, David Schwimmer (as Max
a TV sportscaster) and Jason Lee (as
Jay, an author) in a test of sorts. Max
falls for a successful, beautiful woman
(Sam, played by Mili Avital) who also
happens t o be Jay's editor. The two
quickly move in together and get engaged. But Max begins to have doubts
and decides that for him t o truly know
whether Sam is his perfect mate, a test
is in order. He asks Jay to find out if
Sam really will remain faithful.
The only problem is that Jay already
has fallen in love with Sam.
Finding love was no easy task to begin with for any of the three, but, in the
end, they find that love truly does exist
... not only in relationships, but also in
friendships.
"Kissing a Fool" is enjoyable on different l evels. It p uts t he a udience
through an emotional gauntlet that includes comedy, friendship, love and
heartbreak.
Though it deals with issues that everyone can relate to, the movie crosses
a line that most people just wouldn't
want to. In the end, though, its heartwarming twist is a pleasant and welcome relief.
As Jay says to Max, "What if I missed
out on the girl who is?*
"Kissing a Fool" is a thought-provoking tale that shouldn't be missed out on.

Do ' diversity' and

Dear EditorIn your last issue you published an
article re: the proposed track and field
facility in which President Joe Faltaous
is quoted as saying that "students need
to realize that they belong to this campus and that this campus belongs to
them." After reading another article a
few pages later I asked myself "do they
really?"
I am referring to the entry announcing the Eleventh Annual Cal-State San
Marcos Ball - to be held "at the elegant
Four Season Resort at Aviara on Saturday April 2nd." t ickets are slated at
$150 each. Or $ 300 per couple!! The
proceeds will be used purportedly for
"the university's highest priority needs,
including: student scholarships, the
purchase of instructional equipment
and faculty recruitment."
I asked several of my friends on campus if they had heard anything about
this function prior to having read the
announcement in the newspaper and all
said t hey had not. While many expressed an interest in attending-all
thought the price of admission too expensive.
What happened to furthering the
s pirit of c ommunity and harmony
within the campus body itself? What
about 'students realizing that they belong to this campus and that this campus belongs to them?' Shouldn't we

have the opportunity to participate in
this'gala event'?
With the price of admission set at an
exclusionary $ 300 per couple, this apparently is not high on the list of Ms.
Shelley Lindstom's ('a Rancho Santa Fe
philanthropist') organizing committee.
Quite the contrary, the entire affair
seems to be a celebration not of diversity but an elitist showcase of pomp and
circumstance - one in which only the
very affluent can afford to participate.
In reality- it is the student-body that
makes Cal-State University San Marcos
work! That thought may come as a
shock to the likes of Ms. Lindstrom.
Without us, none of the faculty and infrastructure and million dollar exercise
facilities would matter at all. And so I
ask you- where is our gala? Where is our
party? Where is our celebration? They
are nowhere to be found-and that needs
to change. Now!
Clearly, the students of this university
deserve to attend this event more than
anyone else! I implore the organizing
Committee to RECOGNIZE THIS AT
ONCE! ( A b oycott could be VERY
EMBARASSING!) By making tickets
available to students AT A REDUCED
COST - they could work to right this
glaringly obvious wrong. Just as other
activities offer student rates (movies,
athletic games, etc.) - so too could this
one at between $25 or $75. $ 300 per
couple is exceptionally confiscatory
considering the average student earns
well under seven dollars per hour after
taxes. While it is easy to pay lip-service
to the prospect of including all students
"in the community" while celebrating
"diversity"- not every student here at
this school drives an MBZ to and from
the family compound in Rancho Santa
Fe.- Ms. Iindstom. Most of us live in
the real world. And in that real world
are real responsibilities.
At $ 300 per couple— this event is elitist, it is exclusionary and it is a slap in
the face of'diversity.' We might as well
change the name of bur beloved Tukwut
back to Cougar! (Ms. Lindstrom would
probably like that more anyway.) There
are many hard-working students at this
university who would love to attend this
'gala event' if the costs were affordable.
$ 300 per couple may seem reasonable
to 'a noted Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist' -but to the average student- that's
just too darn much money. And it is
high time that the leadership on this
campus stopped paying lip-service to
slogans like 'diversity' and 'together*
n€ss* and started addressing the very
real and glaring inconsistencies in instances like this one.

Dear Editor:
I would like to comment on Dr. Curry's elitist
statement in her interview with Scott Bass that "Litwriting students are the only persons left on the
planet who on any given weekday take time to ourselves (for
themselves?) to read. Lit-writing students are the
last remaining vestige of what it really means to be
a true intellectual...which is to read." •
I am a retired teacher who takes literature classes
at CSUSM for my own enjoyment, not for credit. I
read a book a week for my current class and a book
a month for my book club, which is affiliated with
AAUW. I also read two newspapers a day. My husband reads the newspapers, non-fiction books, and
can hardly wait for "Harpers" and "The Atlantic
Monthly" to arrive in the mail. Our married daughter, the mother of a three-year old son, is a voracious reader who finds time to read one or two
books/week, two daily newspapers, and numerous
magazines. Almost all of our friends are readers,
and the women in my book group, all of whom I
would call intellectuals and lead very busy lives, find
time to read on a daily basis.
I think it's time for Dr. Curry to come down from
her ivory tower and meet the commoners in the
real world.

�Upward Bound given million-dollar grant
The Upward Bound program
at Cal State San Marcos had a lot
to celebrate last week.
The program recently received
a $1.1 million federal grant from
the Department of Education.
The grant, which makes up 95
percent of Upward Bound's budget, funds the program for another five years (1995-2000). An
orientation for current participants and students interested in
the program was held Sept 30.
The grant proposal was among
the top two percent in the country, receiving 114.7 points out of a
possible 115. Because of the high
score, it serves as a model program.
T he grant reflects the quality
of CSUSM's Upward Bound program and the university's ability
to compete nationally for federal
funds. It also demonstrates
CSUSM's commitment to sharing education with all people of
the North County community,''
said Dr. Bill Stacy, university
president
Upward Bound is part of the
TRIO programs which were designed by Congress in the 1960s
to provide access to a college
education for low-income, firstgeneration college-bound and
college-going students.
"CSUSM's Upward Bound is
an excellent example of the results these programs produce.
The proof is in the graduation
rates of our students," said Calvin
One Deer Gavin, director of the
university'sTRIO programs. "Upward Bound serves 8 local high
schools. There have been 15 local area graduates, all have now
gone on to college." The program
began three years ago.
Joy Moore, a graduate of
Rancho Buena Vista High School
and Upward Bound, now attends
CSUSM. "Upward Bound provided me with the opportunity to
make a solid connection with campus life and personal skills to
achieve excellence as a better
communicator with all people,"
she explained.
Through its training, tutoring
and counseling, Upward Bound
helps students who otherwise
would probably not consider pursuing a college education, prepare for university study. Upward Bound offers tutoring, collegefieldtrips, cultural activities,
multicultural understanding, personal and family counseling,
supplemental instruction, peer
mentoring, college classes, lead-

ership conferences and more.
Through the many academic and
personal experiences,fromninth
grade to 12th grade, Upward
Bound helps studentsfinddirection, focus on academics in high
school, and ultimately graduate
from college.
Upward Bound program
serves 50 high school students
from eight North County high
schools: Rancho Buena Vista;
Oceanside; El Camino; Fallbrook;
Escondido; San Pasqual; Orange
Glen; and, San Marcos. The program is now in the process of
recruiting new participants. Students must be from one of the
eight high schools served by the
program and in either the ninth

would be cut out, but the needier
students would recieve more
money.
Either of these proposals passing would be grim tidings for
CSUSM where a large amount of
students recieve pel grants and
direct loans. Furthermore, direct
loans replaced lender loans exclusively for the first time this
year. It would cause afair amount
of administrative hasssle to switch
back.
"We'd go back only if we were
forced to," said Hatten.
The Associated Students has
been busy getting petitions
signed for congressmen Randy
Cunningham (R-San Diego) and
Ron Packard (R-Oceanside) urging them to "support continued
funding for college loan and stu-
dent aid programs (i.e. Federal
student aid) ." Roughly 75 people
called their congressmen on Sept.
12-13, according to AS President
Charles Ragland.
"We'd like to see more grant
money not loans," said Ragland.
Federal financial aid threatened by Congressional ax
By Tony Barton
News Editor
Students may be seing a
change in the way their federal
financial aid is handled if measures being prepared by Congress are instituted.
Items such as student loans
and grants would be among those
affected in a $2.6 billion appropriations cut proposed by members of Congress.
"At this point the House and
the Senate have their own
writeups," said Financial Aid
Counselor Gerrie Hatten. aBoth

til six months after they graduate, is one item on Congress'
change list Limitations on or removal of the interest subsidies on
stipend loans are being considered.
The House of Representatives
has also proposed a dismantling
of the direct loan program, the
program which serves Cal State
San Marcos students. Loans
would be directed back through
the Federal Family Educational
Loan Program (FFELP), a lender
loan program which utilizes over
200 lenders and over 20 guarantee agencies. According to
Hatten, this service would require
some students to keep three or
four contacts for the same loan.
The current direct loan program
is run directly through the government, requires only one contact, and is "easier to manage ."
The Senate has not proposed cutting the direct plan, but has talked
about cutbacks to the program.
"Mywish is that those schools
who wish to be in the direct loan
program canbe in it," said Financial Aid Director Paul Phillips.
Congress has also proposed
raising the standards on students
eligible for federal grant aid. Under the plan, students recieving

statement like that one without a
source. You've got to have rear
sons for everything you say."
He described how he believed
the government and pharmaceutical firms are making money off
this unproven theory and treating AIDS victims with a drug that
kills them faster than the disease
itself.
"A lot of people who have died
of AIDS have actually died of
AZT," he said. "It's a poison,"
originally developed as a chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
a
AZT kills all the cells it gets into
eventually."
While he disagrees with the
established view of how AIDS
develops, Mullis said he has his
own theory.
"Everybody's met one or two
people who died of AIDS," he
continued, "but they each died
differently. In fact, the 'thing'
AIDS isn't a 'thing* at all. I f s a
whole lot of people sick at the
same time with different things."
Mullis described a kind of "viral overload," where people infected with AIDS have acquired
it because of an overexposure to
too many otherwise harmless viruses all at the same time. Individually, these viruses are not
harmful to the immune system,
but collectively they cause its
degradation. HIV is just one of
these many viruses, he said.
"What happens when you get
10,000 times the exposure to viruses totally harmless by themselves, all at the same time?" he
asked. "The immune system
would start to do funny tilings.
And to kill people with the use of
a drug that does little and kills
people, i f s criminal."
He added that the conventional development of an AIDS
vaccine will not work based on
this theory.
Despite his disagreement with
currently-accepted theory, Mullis
said he was open to it provided he
sees the scientific proof. "If somebody came out with a study that
said HIV causes AIDS I would
say 'good,' because I'm tired of
this."
Mullis moved his presentation
from the realm of the inner body
to outer space. He talked about
an alleged cover-up on the part of
NASA and the government to
hide the facts about monuments
on Mars.
"What was our space program
developed for?Tocollect rocks?"
he asked the audience. He explained how, in 1978, NASA's
Voyager snapped photos of what
appeared to be a face and several
nearby structures on the planet's
surface at the region called
Cydonia. While the press at that
time was told that subsequent
photographs six hours later
showed nothing there, he explained, NASA never took such
photographs because the Martian night had set in.
Three-dimensional computer
enhancement of the known photographs shows that there is indeed a face, he said, "Like Mt.
Rushmore but better art" Fifteen
years later, when NASA planned
to take photos of the same region, he said, the cameras on
board the space craft conveniently
malfunctioned.
Mullis said that the discovery
of thefaceand other structures
such as pyramids are exactly what
we want the space program to
find, explaining the ridiculousness of sending a small land-based
machine to look for ATP when
right beside it is a pyramid and a
face.
He told the audience that the
Internet is a blessing because information is so accessible about
issues such as this. "Those pictures, fortunately, due to the
internet, are noteasy to suppress,"
Mullis said.
After his main lecture, Mullis
answered questionsfromthe audience.
Continuing on the theme of
government eover-ups of alien
life, one audience member asked
Mullis if he believed there was a
cover:up with regard to the topsecret "Area 51" military base in
Nevada, which some claim
houses alien bodies and space
craft. "They say they're alien bodies stored out there. I think Jimmy
Hoffa's out there," he responded.
Another audience member
asked Mullis to talk about his
experimentation with LSD. Mullis
told the audience that, while it
improved his thought processes
and opened his mind to new ways
of thinking, the drug is not for
everyone.
"For some i fs good. For some
i f s bad," he said. "Butto not know
about it and find out about it is
stupid." Mullis noted that although LSD was legitimately
tested by scientists for its good
purposes, "It was a typical response by human nature to (suppress) something new and unknown," thus leading to its being
made illegal.
Campus dignitaries and the
press were invited to a personal
reception with Mullis after the
lecture in university President Dr.
Bill Stacy's conference room.
Fall semester marks ELM deadline
The deadline is approaching
for students to take care of the

�Album review
Morrissey's latest is brilliant
By Jill Ballard
Entertainment Editor
Morrissey has done it again.
He's released another fabulous
album. To say that "Southpaw
Grammar" is his greatest album
wouldn't be fair since Morrissey
has never ever released anything
less than brilliant, but "Southpaw Grammar* has a style apart
from any of his past works—just
as all Morrissey albums are
unique.
The mellow and smooth
sounds of his last album, "Vauxhall And I," have been replaced
with harder and more prominent
guitars and percussion while the
voice steps back slightly from
the forefront leaving the music
to take more control. The opening track, "The Teachers Are
Afraid Of The Pupils," clocks in
at 11:19 minutes, making it the
longest Morrissey song ever released. Despite its length, however, there is not a dull second in
the song. I fs a haunting tale of a
teacher who lives under the strain
of threats and harassment from
his students and their parents,
"Say the wrong words to our children and well have you/Ifs never
too late to have you!" It reminds
me of those court trials where
school teachers were being
wrongly accused of child molestation.
"To be finished would be a
relief" is the driving line of the
song, but thankfully that is not
the case for the album as we are
next treated to another masterpiece, "Reader Meet Author".
This song is a blast against authors who are ignorant to their
readers' hardshipped working _
class lives, "And the year 2000
won't change anyone here/As
each fabled promise flies so fast
you'd swear it was never there/
Oh have you ever escapedfroma
shipwrecked life?" The song concludes by accusing the writer of
lying.
The next track is the radioonly US single as well as the second UK single (releasedateSept
25) "The Boy Racer," a fanciful
James Dean-esque song about a
good-looking young man who
speeds without getting pulled
over, has too many girlfriends
and thinks he's got the whole
world in his hands when he stands
at the urinal. Morrissey seems to
be almost envious of the carefree
dangerdefyinglifestyleoftheboy
racer, "Have you seen him go
though ohhh/Boy Racer ohhh/
We're gonna kill this pretty thing/
He's just too good looking." The
next track, "The Operation," is
introduced by a lengthy drum
solo. The song never explains
what kind of operation was performed on the patient, but the
person apparently got a new demeanor Out of it, "Y6u say pleasant things when there is no need
to/Everyone I know is sick to the
back teeth of you." I fs not the
happiest of Morrissey songs, but
i f s still a lively and exciting number.
The next track is "Dagenham
Dave," thefirstUnited Kingdom
single which itself is a must find
because it boasts one of
Morrissey's best b-sides to date.
"Nobody Loves Us," is a moving
exploration of the attitudes of
Reprise Records/Photo Courtesy
neglected children and how they
are negatively viewed by society.
The other b-side, "You Must
Please Remember," is another
good reason to get the import
single. I fs a sad tale of being
haunted by painful memories
while at the same time others are
opting for repression. "Dagenham Dave" is a whimsical sing-

along song about a guy not unlike
the charming boy racer. The chorus is just a repeat of "Dagenham
Dave" over and over until the fascination with this ordinary boy
hits it's final line, "I could say
more, but you get the general
idea."
Then we are given the gift of
one of Morrissey greatesttalents,
lyrical sensitivity. I fs a caring,
outreachingpleato "Just Do Your
Best and Don't Worry," a song
directed to the overly self-critical, "With your standards so high
and your spirits so low/At least
remember this is you on a bad
day/You on a pale day/Just do
your best and ohhh/Don't worry
ohhh/The way you hang yourself is oh so unfair." The next
song, "Best Friend On The Payroll," is about a live-in right hand
assistant who's welcome has worn
out, which leads us to the final
track, "Southpaw." This song is
the only one I didn't really like,
but that was only because after
the singing ended, the boring
music just droned on.
This album is a brilliant work
of art despite i fs one minor downfall for me. I highly recommend
it to anyone with taste for catchy
songs with meaningful lyrics.

In the Sept. 20 edition of The Pride, the name of a campus fraternity
was misspelled in an article about rush week. The correct name of the
organization is Tau Kappa Epsilon.
The names of two former Associated Students officers were also

this summer
Looking for a job can be frustrating at
times. This summer the Alumni Association
wants to help its members during this process in several ways. First of all, we want to
be your support system as you find yourself
feeling overwhelmed and out of ideas about
what to do next to get that all-important first
job. Secondly, we will help you make connections with other alumni who are already
working. And finally, we want to provide
some social activities to keep you occupied
while you wait for the phone to ring. We
want to keep it touch with you as you transition from student to graduate student, to
professional, to world traveler, or whatever.
Our program is called "Summer Connections" and we want you to participate. We
are still planning activities which will include networking breakfasts and or lunches,
making connections with the local business
community and an alumni hotline. Have any
ideas? All this is yours as part of your alumni
membership ($15 through May 31). Any
questions can be answered by calling Alumni
Services or Tanis Brown 752-4952. Do it
now - Get Connected!!
2ND ALUMNI
PICNIC
SCHEDULED
FOR AUG. 28
Plans are already underway
for the 2nd annual Alumni Homecoming Picnic and your input is
needed. This is an all-campus
event which means all administrators, faculty, staff, students and
alumni are invited to participate.
This year* s event will include lots
of delicious food, recreational
activites, door prizes, a chance to
see old friends, meet new ones
and much, much more. Campus
clubs are encouraged to participate. If you are interested in serving on the committee, or have an
idea for an activity that day, call

�Summer Housing
Tanis Brown
Housing Coordinator
Are you moving home fpr the summer,
leaving a roommate with the entire rent to
pay? Have you adopted a new puppy who
isn't welcome in your current apartment? Chare you looking for a place closer to the beach
or near your place of employment? If your
answer to any of these questions is yes, The
Housing Office may be able to help you.
Several students whose housing arrangements
will be changing in the near future have
approached the Housing Office for assistance. Some students are losing roommates,
but are happy with their living space. Others
need to find a roommate and a new place to
live. In addition, there are plenty of housing

Is your privacy at stake on
the Information Highway
William T. Holmes
Contributing Writer
T I 1 he federal government claims it
supports expanded and alterna
J L tive communications with pronouncements by Vice President Gore advocating government programs to advance
the "Information Highway," but the behavior of the federal government behind the
scenes is quite the opposite.
Conflicting policies, outdated regulations, sluggish approval process and insensitive Washington bureaucrats are hampering efforts to build the information highway. Telecommunication companies, according to the Wall Street Journal, are
concerned that government is setting up
road blocks with a penchant for control.
The FCC can accelerate or delay its
approval to achieve whatever effect it wants.
By controlling who can set prices and how
much they can charge, the FCC determines
who wins and who loses in the competition
to widen the information highway. Consequently, of "2.9 million homes scheduled
to be wired for video services, only 2.5%
will actually get two-way services." Instead of facilitating the information highway, the FCC, FAA, ICC and other New
Deal leftovers, act like sea anchors. The
economy suffers accordingly.
The FCC is not alone in its obstruction
ofthe information highway. Thebeliefthat
government can manage markets for the
benefit of all is at the heart of the problem.
The reality has always been that government involvement has the opposite effect
Benefactors are usually the limited few
who mean the most to there-election6f a
congressperson.
The latest excuse for government involvement, according to the June issue of
MacUser Magazine, "is the ability to eavesdrop on your telephone calls, read your e-
mail, and browse through your database
files." The Clinton administration has
declared that all electronic communications with federal agencies, must use a
National Security Agency (NSA) data
security technology called Escrowed Encryption Standard—the "Clipper chip."
It allegedly safeguards data from hackers
and industrial spies, but it has a "back
door" that permits the government to engage in surveillance and detection. The
Clipper chip has chilling ramifications
and litde justification. The government
claims to need the back door "to catch
criminals and thwart terrorists," but how
many of them are naive enough to use a
phone or computer system they know the
government can monitor, when they can
use any of a number offreeor commercial
encryption programs?
Government surveillance via the Clipper Chip, many contend, violates the
Fourth Amendment's guarantee to privacy. Yet the Clinton administration is
encouraging businesses (particularly
phone companies) to install the chip in
their communications equipment. The
big question, asks MacUser Magazine,
"will the government eventually move
from encouraging compliance to mandating it, essentially giving itself a key to
yourfrontdoor—atleastyour digital front
door T
If the Clipper chip is intended to catch
criminals, then it should be named PSP
(Pretty Stupid People) after those who
buy into i t If it is intended for domestic
surveillance, that might explain
govenment obstruction of the information highway until the only way you can
get to it is through the Clipper chip.
�Student Leaders
University Ball
Charge the Capital
Sacramento, CA. The California State
Student Association (CSSA) held its Student
Lobbying Conference April 16-18. Students
representing the 21 CSUs met to discuss the
1994 legislative agenda and how specific
actions may affect the students. Leaders
were given a quick review on thefinerpoints
of lobbying by Dan Faulk, a professor at
Humboldt State University. Students lobbied for several actions including student fee
increases, trustee reform, and financial aid.
"If the public does not fight hard enough to
ensure an affordable education for students,
fees will go up 24 percent and will push a lot
of students out of the university system," said
Andrea Wagner, CSSA rep from San Jose
State University. Approximately 50 students
were in attendance at the conference with Cal
State University Northridge driving up six
students to Sacramento. Humboldt State
University has been making regular trips to
Sacramento and has kept the student voice
alive at the Capital.
Raises versus
Student Fees
Assembly Bill 2714, authored by Assemblywoman Karnette, prohibits an increase
in UC or CSU executive salaries, benefits, or
perquisites in a year when student fees are
increased at the respective university. Salaries for the top university executives rose an
average of 160 percent at the UCs and 90
percentattheCSUsfrom 1982 to 1992. From
1982 to 1992, student fees have risen 135
percent at UCs and 190 percent at CSUs.
Since 1908, fees have increased in every year
except 1984—regardless of the state's fiscal
condition. Had this bill been in effect, no
executive increases would have been permitted for at least the past decade! You can help
this bill get passed by contacting your local
legislature or campus CSSA representative
through your Associated Student government
office. Get Involved!
Students
Support New
Campus
A resolution giving support to the opening of CSU, Monterey Bay was passed by the
California State Student Association on April
17. It was unknown whether the student
organization would pass this resolution because of the concerns the students have with
current and future budget cuts. The sixteen
member board voted \manimously to support
this new campus.
raises $32,000
Approximately 300 friends and supporters attended CSUSM's seventh annual
University Ball. The black-tie dinner-dance
and silent auction were held at the Sheraton
Grande Torrey Pines in La Jolla on April 9.
The Ball raised over $32,000 to support the
educational mission of the university. These
funds are allocated by the Foundation Board
of Directors to support important projects
and activities which are not State-funded,
such as: seed money for emerging programs,
special curriculum development work, academic grant development, community activities and lectures, annual community/campus
events such as the Pow Wow and the International Festival.
Among the distinguished guests were
Senator William A. "Bill" Craven, Assemblyman Robert Frazee, Senator David Kelly,
City of San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau,
and City of Carlsbad Mayor Bud Lewis.
As part of the evening's festivities,
CSUSM President Bill Stacy presented Bill
Daniels as the 1994 honoree for his many
contributions to the world of business, community, government, and philanthropic organizations.
Connie L. Anderson of San Marcos,
chair of the event, stated, "The ball was an
unqualified success. This was due to the hard
work of the executive committee and the
generous support of many individuals and
corporations. In addition, to an elegant
evening, these people helped provide CSUSM
with additionalfinancialsupport, a margin of
excellence, needed to move the new university forward."
There were many large supporters of
the Ball. Corporations or individuals who
purchased $2,000-Star Tables included: H.F.
Ahmanson, Connie L. Anderson, Senator
William A. " Bill" Craven, Daniels
Cablevision, Dudek & Associates, Inc.,
Hillman Properties, Dr. Byong Kim, KPMG
Peat Marwick/David and Patti Down, Northern Telecom, Palomar Pomerado Health System, Rancho Coronado/Rancho Coronado
Properties LP, San Diego Gas & Electric, San
Diego Union-Tribune, Sharp Mission Park
Medical Group, and Bill and Sue Stacy.
In addition several individuals and companies donated $1000 or more for underwriting the Ball expenses. These included: Koll
Company, Thornes Bartolotta McGuire &
Padilla (attorneys), Robert Spanjian, Ralphs
Grocery Company, Connie Anderson and
Bob and Ruth Mangrum.
Also contributing to the success of the
evening were the efforts of Lucia Misiolek
who coordinated the ticket sales and Marcia

Health Service Fee still
under consideration
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
In the last issue of The Pride, I wrote an
article discussing the need for a Mandatory
Student Health Fee. The Student Health
Advisory Board (SHAB) is considering this
issue.
An Open Forum on this issue was held on
Tuesday, May 3. We are aware that many
students may not have been able to attend this
forum for many reasons. The Student Health
Advisory Board is still eliciting comments
and ideas concerning this important student
issue. Information concerning the Mandatory Student Health Fee is available at Student Health Services or by contacting me or
members of the board. The final meeting of
the SHAB this semester will be Tuesday,
May 10, at 11 AM. Please, try to respond by
this meeting since a recommendation will be
developed that will be effective for the fall,
1994 semester.
Along with the ongoing provision of primary and preventive health care as well as
special augmented services, Student Health
Services has a daily impact on your health
and safety at CSUSM. Student Health Services insures the immunization status on all
CSUSM students and administers vaccinations, protecting CSUSM students and staff
from Measles, Rubella, Hepatitis, and a variety of other infectious diseases.
Student Health Services keeps your classmates healthy, so they don't spread diseases
to you. And when your classmate is too sick
to attend class, we can work with the student
and the instructor to excuse the absence for
medical reasons in order to encourage the
students to stay home and get well.
Also, pharmacy services are available
providing low cost prescription medications
and, in the near future, selected over-thecounter products. We offer first aid and
urgent care to call CSUSM students, staff and
visitors. We will be involved in the campuswide emergency plan and will be at the center
of any response to earthquake, fire or other
major disasters. We provide medical support
to major campus events, such as graduation.
Health and Wellness information, materials
and health education programs are provided
to the campus as a whole.
Furthermore, if you have never used Student Health Services, you might wish to consider doing so in the future when you need
medical assistance. The level of the care
provided is excellent. Moreover, we understand your needs, both in terms of time and
convenience. We are striving daily to mea-
sure up to your standards of quality and
accountability.
The Student Health Services staff is dedicated to providing quality primary and preventive health care, and we have documented
that dedication by achieving accreditation.
Student Health Services is fully accredited by
both the Association for Ambulatory Health
Care, Inc., and the California Medical Association.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Buckle Up For Safety
Dave Ross
Public Safety Officer
I t's hard to change attitudes and break
bad habits. But thousands die on our
highways each year because of one bad
habit. So getintoagoodhabitand buckle
your safety belt. It could change your
life.
Children depend on us to keep them
safe from harm. One of the easiest ways
to do this is always buckle them into a
child safety seat. Buckle, em up!
Those of you who know first hand
and have witnessed the effectiveness of
safety belts, pass on the experience to a
friend.
Fun facts : Women are more safety
conscious than men, with 63% always
buckling up, versus 51% of the men.
Drivers of silver cars are more likely
to buckle up. Those who drive blue,
black, and maroon cars are least likely to
wear safety belts.
BUCKLE UP FOR LIFE!
If you would like any Information about Public Safety Services or our role
within the CSU system and California State University San Marcos, or if you
have a special issue or problem, please feel free t o contact Public Safety for
assistance.
We welcome all comments, and questions any readers may have
concerning Public Safety. Please call 752-4662 and/or leave a note at our

Teaching Diversity
Through Racism
Roy Latas
StaffWriter
According to the CSUSM Mission Statement attending this university, "provides an
atmosphere in which students c an experience a challenging education in a supportive
environment, preparing them to live cooperatively and competitively in a world of cultural
and ethnic diversity
" Exposing students
to cultural diversity and global perspectives
can present an enormous task for educators
when our traditions have traditionally brought
a different relevance to education.
Oddly enough, an exceptional opportunity to study the African American viewpoint
came this semester, but not as part of the
Upper-Division General Education requirement. The educational opportunity lies in
English400H: Major Authors-Ishmael Reed.
Do not feel badly if you have not heard of
Reed; he was hailed almost 20 years ago as a
dynamic voice of the African American community and was nominated for two Pulitzer
prizes in 1969. Yet recently, Reed has fallen
out of his avant garde favor by displeasing
feminists and segments of the African American scholastic community.
The class has been taughtduring the Spring
semester by Dr. Kenneth Mendoza who has
exceptional foresight by bringing Ishmael
Reed's work to light This Major Authors
course has studied novels with the descriptive titles of Terrible Twos, Yellow Back
Radio-Broke Down, Airing Dirty Laundry,
Writing is Fighting and Mumbo Jumbo, to
name a few. The class discussions revolve
around the topics of misogyny, oral traditions
in literature, blasphemy, rhetorical style, intraintercultural relations, and the accuracy of
accepted historical facts. A female Liberal
Studies major states, "Perhaps things you
don't want to see or hear may be beneficial
when trying to understand the nature of ethnic problems."
Reed's dynamic voice challenges the faint
of heart and the culturally biased reader with
the frank and graphic language of a scholar
gup
E 2gS
Sfl
who has battled racism throughout his life.
English major Greg Marre commends Reed's
literary style as being "straightforward and
not worried about who he will offend." Reed's
accounts of the African American community seeking dignity in American society provide this reader with a cultural immersion
that I have not found in other classes on this
campus. Ishmael Reed's unique heritage
encompasses the African, French, Irish, and
Cherokee cultures which highlight some of
the most seriously repressed cultural groups
within our society over the last 100 years.
Reed's novels approach racism through a
satirical vein that questions economic policies, religious dogma, and outdated cultural
biases.
English majors find Reed's novels challenging because of an oral style of writing
that neglects formal punctuation in several of
the novels under study, yet the orality of the
texts gives a conversational flavor that draws
any reader into a personal involvement with
the characters. English major Jeff Keehn
comments, "As Reed reflects the complex
composition of the modern human sensibility, he questions monolithic and monocultural biases." The novels of Ishmael Reed
explain both the ideology of the oppressors
and the oppressed in a way that the readers
can place their opinions while realizing the
implications of those opinions.
The diversity pledged by CSUSM will
evolve as our campus matures; however, the
vehicles used to approach human unity
through understanding diversity need to create an attitude of solidarity among humanity
instead of the currently accepted separatebut-useful cultural recognition that pervades
our society. Reed shows the complicated
network of racism in America, and by understanding the conventions that produce racism, students deliberate on the vehicles to
eliminate it.
CSUSM's aggressive waste reduction program has received enthusiastic response from
the campus community. Since the program has
been in effect for a significant period of time, a
survey of the population serviced will be taken in
order to evaluate the program and make improvements where necessary. You are encouraged to take a few minutes of your time to
complete the brief survey which has been mailed
to you. Your completed survey may be dropped
off at: Admissions and Records, Associated
Students Office, Duplication Center, Library Circulation Desk, or University Store Customer
Service Window. Completing the survey will
assist the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee in developing an even more effective
program.

members of this group or that group, only
hurts us all in the end. Yes, we may look
different and speak different and even act
different. But for government to solidify and
galvanize those differences, only perpetuates
the problem. All the feel-good programs
lawmakers have passed, have failed to acknowledge the smallest unit of society, the
individual.
It is because of individual effort, that
we are living longer, healthier and more comfortable lives. It was individuals using their
minds—not because this race or that ethnic
group or that gender caused it to happen. It
was the individual, the enterprising, thinking
individual.
You want to protect endangered species? A private individual in Kenya is already
doing it. Where once a dying population of
elephants was nearing extinction, it is now
flourishing because the elephants are owned
and protected as private property by an "individual," with no cost to the taxpayer.
Why the insistence on government to
care for us? Is it because we don't trust one
another anymore? Government has made us
paranoid focusing its efforts on our differences, that we have forgotten we are all
members of the same species—human. Can
you trust a government that subsidizes tobacco and alcohol, and conducts radiation
experiments on its own citizens, to care for
your health, your welfare, or your child's
education?
Some of us have lost faith that man,
acting freely, and on his or her own behalf,
willdowhatisbestforhimselforherself. It's
only through voluntary cooperation between
individuals, not force, that we will achieve
what is in each person's self-interest. We
know this as thefreemarket. By dispersing
power onto each individual, the free market
provides a safety valve against the concentration of power. To give away our right to
govern ourselves to a small band of thugs and
think that they have our interests at heart, is as
naive as it is a sure recipe for tyranny (and a
lot less freedom).
Someone once said that justice is blind.
I choose to stay blind when it comes to
humanity. When I look at people, I do not see
members of aminority, ethnic, or racial group.
All I see are faces of individuals.
�LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Morality in the Classroom
Setting Our Sights Too High
Dear Editor:
Dear Editor:
Concerning the article, "Cliche in the
Classroom": Mr. Huntington asserts, that
"the future of our children depends upon" the
removal of the three conservative Christian
school board members in Vista. The atrocity
these board members have committed is a
recent move to focus sex education curriculum on abstinence rather than a "detailed
discussion of methods of birth control at a
time when the proper use of a condom could
very easily mean the difference between life
and death." It seems that Mr. Huntington
finds such a move "morally repugnant." Mr.
Huntington, your belief that birth control
should be emphasized is morally repugnant.
It is a fact that condom failure ratings are, at
best 11 percent. Should we then teach "children" that it is perfectly allright to have sex
using a condom when the chances of failed
protection is 11 percent or higher? Would
you, Mr. Huntington, send your child to school
if there was an 11 percent chance she would
contract a deadly disease? No, you would
not. You, like any other sensible parent,
would make your child abstain from putting
themsetves lii such a deadly position, i , and
many other people, can testify that abstinence
is not an unrealistic "cliche." Furthermore,
abstinence is the only foolproof way of avoiding STDs. Moral repugnance occurs when
moral recluses deceive children about the
real facts of STD prevention.
David Michael Bruno
I do believe we are setting our sights too
, high heape on our CSUSM campus. I t's time
-fof Ml of us to lower our sights, at least
temporarily, to see the mess that is under our
feet.
The concrete plazas, walkways, decks
and stairways, are showing signs of the worst
disregard for civility, manners and aesthetics
that any college campus, especially such a
new one, should be forced to exhibit.
I t's not only smokers, and spitters, but the
gum chewers as well. Is it just another way to
be"COOL" or "RAD"? I'll bet your parents
said that we all have a responsibility "not to
foul our nest." Or perhaps you had to be too
neat at home, so now you're rebelling.
Do you throw lit cigarettes from your car
windows (a fine if you're caught, maybe a
destructive fire if you're not)? Do you drop
gum and gum wrappers wherever you travel
(a sign of adolescence, not adulthood)?
Come on, people, we are 8ffeaStcollege
juniors here at San Marcos. Do we need to
translate this message into Japanese or Spanish, fifth-grade English or "valley-girl" and
put it on :si^fts '2ilI ovdf campus? Or can you
al make a conscious, adult decision to snuff
out the cigs in sand or use some other safe
disposal method. And throw the damn gum
in the trash, not the recyling bins, the trash!
Or swallow it. It won't mess up your insides
the way it's messing up our grounds.

Opening Educational
Doors With Poetry
Getting fourth-graders excited about learning English or science is a
challenge, and even more so when the class is comprised of children with a wide
range of English-speaking abilities. However, Merryl Goldberg, assistant
professor at California State University, San Marcos found that using poetry as
an educational tool dramatically improved students' reading and writing
abilities, attention, comprehension, and most importantly, enthusiasm about
learning and expressing knowledge.
In researching the uses of poetry in a 4th grade classroom in Southern
California, Goldberg found that using poetry in the classroom resulted in
students doing far more writing and reading, and showing a higher level of
comprehension on what they are reading.

"When the rules of grammar and syntax are eliminated, as they can be in
poetry, writing becomes playful. This can set the stage for children who are
developing their English skills to work with words and ideas. Students learn
best when they are engaged and are having fun, and there is no question that is
exactly what is going on when students are doing poetry," explained Goldberg.
Writing poetry led naturally to reading poetry. "Children in the class are
devouring books on poems," Goldberg explained. The project improved selfesteem and helped shy students overcome their reluctance to speak in front of
others. It enabled a student with behavioral problems to blossom, and it was
a source of inspiration for students who were learning to read."
Goldberg further found that writing poetry helps students gain understandings of subject matter, such as science. "Writing poetry requires action and
attention on the part of the student, so they get a deeper understanding of the
subject," said Goldberg. One student composed a poem on meteors after a
science lesson:
Meteors fly like a fly.
Maybe it's a butterfly
with its wings spread
high in the sky.
Goldberg's students have written poems on numerous subjects including
sharks, family, oceanography, and holidays around the world. For more
information about this project, contact Merryl Goldberg (619) 752-4322.

CSUSM Professor's Book on History
of Tijuana is Published
Cal State University, San Marcos instructor in U.S.-Mexico border history and
geography, Dr. Ted Proffitt's history of
Tijuana, was published on April 18,1994 by
San Diego State University Press. A decade
in the writing, the work covers such topics as
smuggling, filibusters, commerce, tourism,
and ties with San Diego.
Dr. Proffitt spoke on Tijuana recently at
the college's history club. Congratulations!
VOLUNTEER COUNSELORS
NEEDED FOR
SPECIAL SUMMER CAMP
Counselors are needed for Camp-ALot, a residential summer camp program
at Palomar Mountain that is operated by
ARC-San Diego (Association for Retarded Citizens).
The camp provides children and
adults who have developmental disabilities with the opportunity to participate in
regular summer camp activities such as
hiking, swimming, arts and crafts. Ordinarily some 100 campers, from ages 6
through adult, attend each of the four
sessions. "Our ratio of counselors to
campers is much higher than you would
find in a regular camp situation," said
Lin Taylor, camp director. "If we don't
have enough counselors, we have to turn
away campers and they do not get this
wonderful opportunity to learn about nature."
Counselors are needed for sessions
runningfromJuly 5 through Aug. 16. A
children-only session will run Aug. 1115.
Volunteer counselors must be 18 or
older and make a commitment to complete at least one camp session. No experience is necessary and orientation will be
provided. Counselors receive room,
board, transportation to and from the
camp, Taylor said.

Support Groupsstudents helping

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

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

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

time to the creation of new civic enterprises,
helping those less fortunate, and cultivating a
new generation of industry leaders. Daniels
is an active participant in federal and state
government and remains an outspoken advocate of America's f ree enterprise system.
In 1992, Bill was honored with a special
Emmy Award f rom the National Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences for his unparalleled record of achievement J n the development of television, and f or his humanitarian
work.
C SUSM's ball will be held at the Sheraton
Grande Torrey Pines in La Jolla on April 9.

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

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

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

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

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

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

�Arizmendi to perform one-woman play
atCSUSM
Yareli Arizmendi, co-star of Like Water for Chocolate,
will present a one-woman performance piece, Nostalgia
Maldita:1-900-Mexico, on Sunday, March 13 at 3 PM.
Arizmendi, an assistant professor in the visual and performing arts at CSUSM, not only performs the solo role but also
wrote the play.
Nostalgia Maldita: 1-900-Mexico explores cultural
values and identity from both sides of the US-Mexico border.
Laced with humor, satire, and compassion, the play questions
the value of pursuing another culture's ideals and dreams.
Admission is $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for
general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the
University's bookstore during normal business hours or by
calling 752-4730. Tickets may be purchased at the door onehalf hour before the play, unless it is sold out. For further
information, call the Arts and Lectures Office at 752-4945.
ACADEMY AWARDS PREVIEW
Thomas Lee Huntington

T
Staff Writer
^W. "T ith the box-office success ofJurassic Park
\ J \ J and the critical success ofSchindler'sList,
T T this has been the year of Spielberg, and
there is little doubt that the upcoming Academy Awards
ceremony will do anything but put the icing on the cake.
Schindler's List has more nominations than any other film,
and Spielberg has captured all the other awards (Golden
Globe, Director's Guild) that usually serve as indicators of
Oscar performance. Also, the Academy has shunned
Spielberg for years and Schindler serves as a perfect opportunity to make up for past exclusion while at the same time
rewarding the socially conscious, epicfilmmakingOscar so
loves. It is unfortunate, though, that so many otherfilmsfar
more cinematically interesting and daring than Spielberg's
work will be shut out in the process;
BEST PICTURE
Nominees: Schindler's List, The Piano, Remains of
the Day, In the Name of the Father, The Fugitive
Not much suspense here, though this is a fairly wellrounded selection of qualityfilmsthat (with the exception of
The Piano) break very little new cinematic ground. Short
Cuts and Fearless were far superior to most nominated films
but not nearly as accessible. The Academy went out on a
limb last year by choosing the unsettling masterpiece
Unforgiven, but expect no such luck this year.
What Will Win: Schindler's List
What Should Win: The Piano
BEST DIRECTOR
Nominees: Spielberg, Jane Campion {The Piano),

Nice to see Altman nominated here, though he has little gave powerful, engrossing performances but Hunter blows
chance of victory. Jonathan Demme's fine direction in away all competition for her passionate, complex portrayal of
Philadelphia and Fred Schepsi's work on Six Degrees of a mute pianist.

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

Volunteer Day—
CSUSM students
giving back to the
community
In the spirit of community partnership, CSUSM will hold its first Volunteer
Day on Saturday, Feb. 26,1994. Mayor Lee
B. Thibadeau, who proclaimed Feb. 26 Volunteer Day in San Marcos, along with Ernest
Zomalt, Executive Vice President of
CSUSM, will open the event at 9 AM at

income people with tax preparation;
• history club students preparing an
exhibit for the San Marcos Historical Society and Museum;
• three student organizations, along
with a Girl Scout troop, sprucing up Discovery Lake Park and creating a nature display ;
• 11 associations, plus a multicultural
education class, giving campus tours and
workshops for invited San Marcos public
school students and Boys and Girls Club
members, encouraging them to continue their
eduction;
• a club accompanying at-risk youth
on a Mt. Woodson hike;
• a club assisting seniors at a social
gathering in San Marcos;
• sociology students assisting at the
Elder/Adult Care Annual Public Forum at
the San Marcos Joslyn Senior Center.
"Volunteer Day provides an opportunity for CSUSM to cooperate with our
broader community, to promote civic pride,
to encourage volunteerism in our students,
and to link, in a substantial way, real life
experiences with the academic program. It
is a valuable learning experience for both the

CSUSM's Black Tie
Fundraiser Set
Where can you have dinner,
dance, buy a car, and support
CSUSM all at the same time? The
answer is CSUSM's Seventh Annual University Ball. The black-tie
dinner-dance and silent auction will
be held at the Sheraton Grande
Toirey Pines in La Jolla on April 9.
Connie L. Anderson of San
Marcos is chair of the event. "The
University Ball has been a bright
light on the social calendar of North
County since 1988, and this year's
ball promises to be the most exciting event of the new year,' said
Anderson. This year's theme is
"Building a Dream." .
The goal of the event is to
raise $30,000 for the University.
Proceeds from the ball go towards
supporting CSUSM projects that
need additional resources such as
scholarships for deserving students,
seed money for emerging programs,
books for the library, and important
community events such as the
American Indian Pow Wow and
the International Festival.
" Supporting C SUSM is
such a worthy cause. The money
raised by the ball provides the
University a margin ofexxcellence
that cannot otherwise be achieved.
Just a few dollars can make a
difference in whether a student
stays in college or is forced to quit.
I am glad to live in a community
where people believe in education, and more importantly, believe in helping young people,"
said Anderson.
Anderson recruited a team
of community leaders as the executive committee to coordinate
the ball. "The committee is already hard at work seeking donations, expanding the program, and
designing decorations. To assist
us in defraying expenses of the
ball, the committee members are
calling on individuals and businesses to provide underwriting,"
said Anderson.
This year, a silent auction will
be added to the evening's events.
The newly formed CSUSM Alumni
Association will be coordinating the
auction for the Ball. Provided by
Hoehn Motors Inc., the premier
auction item will be a 1994 Suzuki
Sidekick.
Individual seats are $150 or
$1,500 for a table of 10. Special
"Star" tables are available for $2,000
for a table of 10.
For information about tickets
and donations, call Jane Lynch at
752-4406.
Every year about 9,000
children and young adults die
from leukemia and other fatal
blood diseases. For many the
only hope for survival is a bone
marrow transplant. Nearly 70%
cannot find a suitable match
within their own families. These
patients need to find unrelated
donors.
The chance that a patient
will find a matching, unrelated
donor in the general population is
between one in 20,000 to one in a
million. Because tissue types are
inherited, and different tissue
types are found in different ethnic groups, the chances of finding an unrelated donor vary according to the patients' ethnic

The Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee and Mashburn Waste
and Recycling Services will be conducting a waste characterization Thursday, March 10, from Noon to 1:30 PM
in the upper faculty/staff parking lot.
A waste characterization is part
of the campus recycling efforts and is a
thorough, comprehensive sorting, categorization and weighing of materials
from the disposal and recycling streams.
Even though CSUSM has an aggres-
sive recycling program in place, waste
characterizations have to be done periodically to identify additional items
which can possibly be diverted from
going to the landfill.
A light lunch will be served prior
to the waste characterization. In order to
plan for the lunch, please call Support
Services, extension 4520, by March 4 if
you wish to attend and/or participate.
Everyone is invited to participate.
Hope to see you at the Dumpster Dive!

�CSUSM's Writing
Requirement—
a s ound i nvestment
Spring '94 Career Fair March 2 and 3
Jeff Keehn
Contributing Writer
T | Toward the end of the Fall semes
ter, an article appeared in The
J L Pride in which a student expressed
some dissatisfaction with the CSUSM writing requirement. While students on the fast
track to graduation may view the writing
requirement as an unnecessary hurdle, is this
the case? When we asked two founding
faculty members about the reasoning behind
the CSUSM writing requirement, here is what
they said:
Dr. Larry Cohen, Founding Faculty, Biology: "I wholeheartedly support the writing
requirement at CSUSM. To a large degree,
we seem to think with words. If a concept is
understood, one should be able to describe it
to another person. If one cannot explain
something, perhaps one does not understand
it. The writing requirement at CSUSM fosters improved communication and thinking
skills. However, I have never felt that writing
across the entire curriculum made sense. For
example, large seminars or classes heavily
dependent upon symbolic concepts might
better be exempted."
Dr. Carolyn Mahoney, Director, Math
Program: "As a founding faculty member, I
believe very strongly that we should have a
writing requirement in all subjects. It exposes students to, and gives them familiarity
with the expository and technical writing that
is necessary to do good math. In particular,
writing helps students process their learning
and encourages them to think more clearly
about what they do and do not understand.
All math faculty incorporate writing in either
weekly journals and short papers that reflect
a student's understanding of mathematical
notions or in term papers which explain and/
or extend classroom discussions."
Clearly, sound reasoning guided the establishment of the CSUSM writing requirement. The requirement was not designed to
wreak havoc on our lives or distance us from
our families, but to foster the critical thinking
skills and analytic agility fundamental to intellectual growth. Most of us entering professional life after graduation will be required to
draft reports and resumes f or years to come.
And our ability to communicate effectively
will to a large degree determine our eventual
success.
The next issue will present interviews
with CSUSM alumni who have already seen
their investment in the writing requirement
pay off big in career opportunities and graduate school admissions. These CSUSM alumni
attribute their post-graduate success to improved communication skills honed through
our university's challenging and innovative
writing requirement that has and will continue to place CSUSM graduates a step above
the rest.

No, Michelle Sadova is not leaving

Not only is she an active member of the

President of the student council next fall.
Michelle, an English major, hopes to
further her studies in public administration.
She anticipates graduating in spring '95.
As an active student representative at
CSUSM since the fall of '93, Michelle came
into the student council with the philosophy
of "serving students currently attending
CSUSM."
Last semester, Michelle served as Cal
State Student Association (CSSA) representative. As this campus' CSSA representative, Michelle attended monthly meetings
held at other CSU campuses throughout the
state to discuss matters of importance to all
CSU students such as campus base fees,
legislation and health issues. The CSSA
also reviewed Board of Trustees' mandates
and their effects on all CSU campuses.
Michelle was responsible for bringing yoga to campus which led to forming the
Recreation Committee this semester. "We're
looking to provide a variety of recreational
activities at reasonable prices and times
convenient for students." The Recreation
Committee is hoping to bring other classes
and activities such as martial arts, self-defense and aerobics, which is scheduled to

to provide the opportunity for CSUSM students to teach these classes.
Michelle enjoys communicating with
students and keeping them informed about
current legislation and issues affecting CSU
students.
In addition to her studies, and participation on the Associated Students Council,
Michelle is actively involved in other campus and community activities. As President
of the Earth Club, Michelle and other members of the club are preparing for the Second
Annual Earth Day event scheduled for April
21 and April 23.
In addition to Earth Day activities,
the Earth Club works on environmental
clean-up projects in the community and
local beaches.
"We'd like to see hiking and walking trails around campus for students to
use and appreciate," says Sadova. Both
the AS Recreation Committee and the
Earth Club are actively supporting the
development of campus hiking trails.

Announce Book
Scholarship Winners
Winners of the Friends' Book Scholarship competition have been selected for the
spring semester. Twenty-seven CSUSM
students participated by writing essays on
the subject How Books Have Influenced My
Life. Each of the three finalists receives
$200 to be used for this semester's books.
The University Store contribute $100 of the
$600 plus an additional 10 percent discount
to the winners.
Congratulations to this semester's winners:
• Melva Dudley, a Social Science major
with an emphasis on Sociology, from
Oceanside.
• Robin Kaiser, an English/Spanish major planning to teach middle school, from
Vista.
• Mollie Tammone, a Liberal Arts major with an emphasis on Education, from
Fallbrook.
Applications for the Friends's Fall 1994
Book Scholarship will be available to students on campus after February 15. The
deadline for completed essays will be April
25, and finalists will be notified in May.
The Friends of the Library, a library
volunteer group made up of campus and
community volunteers, is also conducting
an ongoing mini book sale in the library. It
has met with favorable comments from stu-
dents and staff alike.
Coming in March is the semi-annual
book sale during the campus Indian Pow
Wow. If you would like to donate any
books to the sale, please call Cherie Boiling
at 471-7442. The question most often
asked is "Where does the money from the
sale go?" It helps to provide the student
book scholarshs each semester at the
univeristy. Plan to attend the Pow Wow
and our book sale on March 19 from 9 AM
to 6 PM in the faculty/staff parking lot. We
look forward to seeing everyone there!
In addition to library projects, the book
scholarships, and book sales, the Friends
of the Library also sponsor lectures on a
variety of subjects. The Friends recently
sponsored a talk given by Bridget BaileyMeier on medicine in the African-American Community. On March 17,1994, the
Friends will sponsor Dr. Patricia Seleski,
Professor of History who will be speaking
on peace prospects in Northern Ireland.
The third lecture the Friends will sponsor
this spring is Dr. Vasanthi Shenoy, Professor of Sociology, who will speak on education for the women of India on April 26.

more about the Friends of the Library or
joining their ranks, call Betty Knoff, president of the Friends, at 744-7084.
Huff Awarded Fulbright
Scholarship
Betty Huff, CSUSM's director of enrollment services was recently awarded a
Fulbright Scholarship to study in Germany.
Huff is one of 25 recipients from universities across the country who will participate
in the Fulbright International Education
Seminar for Administrators.
The four-week seminar, held in April
and May, introduces university administrators to a variety of academic and governmental institutions. It focuses on current
issues in German higher education and
international academic exchange. The program is designed for administrators of international services, academic affairs, student affairs, and admissions. It includes
visits to universities and cities in Bonn,
Berlin, and the new Eastern states of Germany.
Huff has been with CSUSM for 4 years.
Besides admissions, she also is responsible
for internationl student advising and serves
on the University Global Affairs Committee.
"This scholarship is an excellent opportunity to gain greater awareness of other
cultures. As CSUSM continues to pursue
its mission of international focus and global awareness, we will need to develop
more programs that assist students in the
transition to education in other countries.
The Fulbright program was designed to
help administrators in this effort," said
Huff of the scholarship.

Who needs to be vaccinated against Hepatitis B?
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
Or for that matter, what is Hepatitis B? It
is an infection of the liver caused by the
Hepatitis B virus (HB V). This virus is hardy
and highly infectious. About 300,000 hew
cases are diagnosed each year. It is 100 times
more infectious than HTV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the virus that causes AIDS.
Like AIDS, it has no cure but the good news
is that it can be prevented with a vaccine.
Hepatitis B may strike silently and cause
unknown damage to one's liver. Symptoms
of Hepatitis B can be similar to an intestinal
virus and be very mild. Others have more
severe symptoms with nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, dark urine and possibly yellowing of the skin and eyes. Also, some people
become very ill and can't work or go to school
for weeks or months. Because it is a viral
infection there is no antibiotic to reverse its
course. Between 6 and 10 percent of infected
adults become chronic carriers (possibly a
million Americans). Unfortunately, they face

�Learning Self-Defense
Newest WxMrcise Crane
:
^^imercize^'A
Susan Mendes, LVN
Health Education Assistant
On Thursday evening, February 10, I
attended the self-defense class which was
sponsored by the Public Safety Department
and taught by Officer Mario Sainz.
Since I had never taken a self-defense
class before, I didn't know quite1 what to
expect. The instructions said to wear loose,
comfortable clothing and sooks, as we would
practice without shoes. I had decided to take
the class after reading about local women
who were kidnapped while out shopping,
running errands, and minding their own business. This made me realize that crimes can
happen anywhere, to anyone.
My classmates were all women who,
like myself, wanted to know what to do in a
dangerous situation. Officer Sainz started
out by talking about possible dangers on
campus, such as deserted stairwells and elevators. What to do if attacked in an elevator?
"Push the emergency alarm button!" he advised. "Someone will respond." He also
reminded us that Public Safety now operates
24 hours a day to respond to calls for help, and
that they are able to provide escorts from
campus buildings to the parking areas, which
is especially important at night. Sainz pointed
out that it is a good idea to locate the silver
emergency phones found in the campus buildings before you need one. He explained that
the phones on the blue light poles in the
parking lot connect directly to dispatch and
do not require coins. He said that the officers
are glad to help students who lock keys in
their car or who need a jump-start.
After discussing how to avoid danger,
he began to demonstrate what to do if you
are attacked or threatened. Using movements based on Karate principles, we
learned how to side-step and use the
attacker's momentum to the victim's advantage.
Sainz showed us how to resist a frontal
attack and how to escape if attacked from
behind. He explained that criminals look
for victims, and talked of the importance of
assertiveness.
I was surprised by two things that
evening. First, that you could learn so
much in one class, and second, I was surprised that more students didn't attend.
This was one of a series of classes that will
be offered on campus free of charge for
students or staff members.
It is a wonderful resource, and I would
highly recommend that everyone take at
least one class, especially if you attend
classes at night, shop in the evenings, or
even buy gas or run errands after dark. I t's
easy to go on believing "that it couldn't
happen to me." Let's not wait until a crime
happens on our quiet campus to become
prepared. Upcoming classes will be announced.

�Decision DMakingoving iadefuture asier
Mnto the E
CSUSM's Center for ecision Making m
Karin Foster
Staff Writer
F or t he l ast f our y ears,
CSUSM's Len Jessup, Associate
Professor of Management Information Systems, and Bernie Hinton,
Assistant to the President, have
worked hard to create an environment that features the latest in computerandbusinesstechnology. This
February their efforts paid o ff, and
the Center for Decision Making
opened with its state-of- the-art computer system on-line and running.
The two men began by submitting a grant proposal to Hewlett
Packard that would provide them
with the necessary equipment to
establish a group computer facility
at CSUSM. Hewlett Packard furnished Jessup and Hinton with
$ 150,000 worth of computer equipment that resulted in 30 computers,
a laser printer and computer software. Further work was necessary
to locate physical space f or the
equipment and comply with all the
regulations that accompany aproject
of this size. With the equipment
and space secured, the facility became a reality.
Located on the second floor
of Craven Hall, the Center for Decision Making appears very similar to
corporate board rooms; however,
this room includes the addition of
computers. The computers are recessed into the table providing a
sleek, modern, unobtrusive look.
However, it is the software known
as G roup S upport S ystem, o r
"groupware" that integrates the
computers and makes this center
different from typical conference
rooms. Groupware allows individuals or groups to work together
forming decisions. Viewing the
same information, members can
make comments or suggestions
anonymously to the entire group.
After suggestions and comments
have been entered, the groupware
can easily arrange the data and help
the members form a consensus.
Companies have discovered
this new technology has advantages.
Jessup noted, "One of the reasons
this has become so popular is being able to do things anonymously.
Businesses have found they get a
lot more candid free-flowing exchange of ideas and opinions when
they use this software, as opposed
to the traditional face-to-face meeting environment."
While this software facilitates group meetings at CSUSM,
it also expands o ther o ptions.
Members meeting at CSUSM can
include groups in other geographical locations. The software links
groups from several different businesses or universities, and allow
them to form collaborative decisions. Jessup also explained that
meetings do not need to occur at
the same time but could occur over
the course of several weeks. A
meeting could be initiated, and
members could respond at their
convenience. Decisions could be
made at a later date based on the
received input.
A lthough the g roupware
helps groups hold effective meetings, there is the potential to depend too heavily on technology.
Business conferences could become too impersonal. Jessup explained that meeting facilitators
play an important role in this type
of center. Facilitators ensure that
groups alternate between software
and f ace-to-face interaction to
achieve effective results. Besides
understanding group dynamics, the
facilitator must know how to use
the group support system software.
A great deal of the success of this
computer center at CSUSM will
depend on the skills of the meeting
facilitator.
While the center at CSUSM
can help groups meet effectively,
it can also provide other functions.
Jessup explained that the Center
can be used for research. Experiments and studies will occur to
observe how groups and individuals behave when they use this type
Bernie Hinton and Len J essup, the masterminds behind the Center for Decision Making
of technology. The findings can then
be used to develop software, and
help companies implement this type
of facility and software into their
own businesses. The Center will
also be used as a teaching tool. Jessup
stated, "We plan to really integrate
this within our business courses and
within other courses at the campus."
The creation of this center has
already been a learning experience
f or s tudents at C SUSM. T he
groupware technology has already
been running in the student computer labs, and Jessup has instructed
courses in operating this software.
During these classes, students have
developed marketing projects for
this type of center, trained as meeting facilitators for running group
sessions, and helped do coding and
programming using this innovative
software.
Jessup noted that the students
have contributed substantially to the
Center's development. Design of
the C enter's tables and chairs has
included the students' involvement.
The quality of the Center will
encourage businesses to use this
facility, thereby providing additional revenue for the university.
While businesses will be able to
reap benefits from holding effective meetings, students will also
have the ability to learn and experience the latest technology of the
business world.

Profile of a Volunteer
Mercedes. Aguilar
Contributing Writer
A volunteer is someone who enters a
service out of his/her free will. On November
16, 1967, Bertha Walker became an important volunteer when she joined the United
States Marine Corps. Impressed by the confidence of the Marine officers at the enlisting
office, Bertha decided to join the Marine
Corps, and at the age of 18, she left her
hometown of Pittsview, Alabama to serve in
Okinawa, Japan, and Hawaii.
The initiative which Bertha demonstrated
as an 18-year-old further developed in the
military as her leadership roles provided her
with various responsibilities. Working as the
Combined Federal Campaign Coordinator
for her unit, she coordinated the collection of
charitable contributions, served as a liaison
between a Marine and the base, and worked
with the Financial O ffice to resolve pay problems.
While fulfilling her military duties, Bertha continued to pursue her educational goals.
Majoring in history and minoring in religion,
she received her Associates of General Studies Degree from Chaminade University in
Honolulu, Hawaii.
After 23 years of active duty, Bertha
retired as a First Sergeant. She sought to
complete her education at California State
University, San Marcos where she also wanted
to get involved in extracurricular activities.
Since spring 1992, Bertha has been a
member of the Pan-African Student Alliance,
and she has been a member and past director

Illegal Immigration is not the Problem
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Last semester, the Political Science
Association sponsored a NAFTA debate. It
was a well-organized, i nformative'affair,
bringing together a labor representative, an
economist, an environmentalist and a representative from the San Diego Chamber of
Commerce to discuss the virutes or flaws of
the hotly debated trade agreement. The participants all gave prepared statements and the
floor was then opened up for questions from
the audience. A man sitting next to me was
the first to shoot up his hand, and it was
immediately clear from his body language
that he felt very strongly about, well, something. "How can we enter into a trade agreement," he began, his voice shaking, "with a
country that doesn't respect the sovereignty
of our border!" His voice rose dramatically at
the last statement. He had come armed with
statistics, pseudo-facts, and anger to spare;
his tirade was just getting started. The moderator and the other presenters attempted to
steer the debate back towards real trade issues, but this spectator's single-minded determination was unsinkable. Every question
became an indictment of California's immigration policy, and passion quickly displaced
logic. The debate ended on a precarious note
with tempers still flaring.
NAFTA is now history, but the fear and
ignorance surrounding the immigration debate in this state has grown. Legislators and
"concerned" citizens like the gentleman that
graced our campus that fine day continue to
propagate the principle that illegal immigration from Mexico is somehow at the root of
all our social, cultural and economic problems. We need to beef up the police presence
at the border, cut off all government aid to
illegal immigrants, even build a wall if necessary. Anything and everything, some immigration "experts" would have us believe, must
be done to stop the tidal wave of thieves and
freeloaders currently assaulting the shores of
our great country.
The problems with this kind of thinking are too numerous to mention here. Suffice it to say the immigration debate has been
blown out of proportion by a group of selfrighteous policital activiists who are motivated by fear and racism, that this is just
another example of politicians who are afraid
to address real, substantive issues for fear of
offending aportion of the voting public jumping on the immigration bandwagon.
Illegal immigration is not threatening
the fabric of our society. This is a country that
was made great by the hard work and dedication of immigrants from all over the world
who were attempting to escape the same
kinds of conditions that the Mexicans who
cross our border are escaping. Western European immigrants, anyway, have entered into
the American folklore as tireless hard workers who helped shape the American dream.
Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and
Mexican immigrants have always suffered
the slings and arrows of a society that saw
them as lazy and worthless. The current
immigration furor is no exception. Despite
the fact that the vast majority of illegal immigrants that come to this country are tireless,
dedicated workers who actually contribute a
great deal to our ailing economy, we are
encouraged to see them as the problem. They
are potential scapegoats for everything, and
certain legislators would have us believe that
all our problems could be solved by simply
keeping them out.
On the contrary, we could learn a thing
or two by observing and emulating these
hard-working, s elf-sufficient, industrious
people that embody the ideals of rugged
individualism and self-reliance that Americans once held dear. The problems in California (and there are many) are due to Californians and can be solved only by Californians. Mexico is a convenient scapegoat,
but, alas, a false one.
"Good fences make good neighbors," a
well-meaning farmer repeats in RobertFrost's
poem The Mending Wall. Like the farmer,
we have taken that phrase to heart despite its
obvious irrelevance. By strengthening the
fence, we believe we can somehow make our
own crops grow faster and stronger.

�Reflections on Black History Month
Karin Foster
Staff Writer
All February CSUSM has been honoring
the achievements of A frican-Americans
through the observance of Black History
Month. The variety of events that have
occurred have featured informative lectures,
films, and various types of musical formats.
Black History Month initially began in
the early 1900's under its founder, Carter G.
Woodson. Woodson, an African-American
historian, first initiated Negro History Week,
which became Negro History Month, and is
now recognized as Black History Month.
Dr. Thompson, a political science professor
explained that Woodson's purpose was to
elevate the status and self-esteem of AfricanAmericans. He stated that Black History
Month was also "toeducate and expose dominant groups, particularly whites, to the rich
history, rich culture of African-Americans."
During that period of history, Africn Americans were "subordinated in terms of culture,
status, economy and equality." White culture rationalized their oppression of black
Americans by claming the inferiority of their
race. The revelation of African-Americans'
rich culture and heritage would dispute this
myth and could establish the legitimacy of
African-American equality.
Thompson explained that the activities
scheduled for Black History Month complement the mission statement of the university.
CSUSM's mission statement promotes an
appreciation for, and study of, diversity in
American society. The events were meant to
provide an understanding and appreciation
for African-American culture.
Students interviewed in Dr. Jill Watts'
History 335 class, which studies AfricanAmerican history, discussed their opinions
about the events offered on campus. One
student offered, "The events we have here on
campus and in the community help to dispel
stereotypes." Another student explained that
these events "bring together and disband
some barriers between cultures when we
have Black History Month or other cultural
awareness months."
However, not all of the students agreed
that the events really promoted understanding between cultures. One student felt that
many people regarded Black History Month
activities only as entertainment events. The
student explained that often the majority of
the audience attending black performances
are white. She said, " They've always come
out to see us perform. That h asn't changed
with Black History Month or any other kind
of month. The problem is, do they really get
something out of it? Are we really giving
them what they need to be more educated."
While the students questioned whether
Black History Month events should focus
more on education rather than entertainment,
one student explained that personal perspective on these events will probably cause differences of opinion. She explained, " It's a
little b it of everything encompassed—education, entertainment. It means something different to everybody. Certainly to me being
black is going to be somewhat deeper f or me,
more of a pride month."
David McKenzie, president of the PanAfrican Student Alliance, commented that the
goals of his c lub's involvement with Black
History Month have been primarily focused
on education. Working with other associations on campus, this club has offered a series
of lectures and films that have included professional staff to handle discussions and questions that arise following the lecture or film.
McKenzie stressed the importance of education in the activities that promote Black
History Month. "Education helps people understand that there is still a long way to go.
There is still basically inequality between
African-Americans and the rest of the dominant culture." McKenzie concluded that,
"Black History Month was started because
there was a failure of our education system to
have the history of Black Americans or people
of color, in traditional U.S. histoiy books. I
would like to see us get to a point where we
d on'tneedtodo this. Where it (black history)
is included in the history with the general
population and t here's no need to pick one
month out of the year to say 'O.K. this is what
w e've done in h istory'."

Director of Student Activities, and Ann Williams, Board Member of Friends of the

The Pan African Student Alliance is a
student organization founded last year. The
club was started by students from Africa, the
United States and Caribbean nations.* The
Pan African Student Alliance also incorporates n on-African-American m embers.
Anyone who has an interest in AfricanAmerican history or progress is welcome to
join the club.
Club members keep abreast about issues
that concern African-Americans at the local, national and international level. Club
president, David McKenzie, also explained
that since San Diego's North County lacks
areas of concentration of African-Americans, the club serves a social function that
allows people to get together.
Club members also participate in the
community by mentoring students of color
in junior high school, and high school to
help these students prepare for the transition
to college. The Alliance has also been very
active this month with the events that have
occurred in honor of Black History Month.

�Generation X gets a
Bite of Reality
Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Reality Bites is a smart, funny, insightful comedy about a
group of friends who have no idea what to do with their lives after
graduating from college. To label the film, as many critics have, a
"Generation X " movie is to marginalize it, to insinuate that the
filmmakers were only attempting to j ump on the media bandwagon
by throwing in as much flannel, cappucino and slacker angst as
possible. Indeed, all these elements are present in Reality Bites, but
they are present because the movie is an honest account of life in the
9 0's, not because they are demographically pleasing to any particular focus group. The film transcends trend to speak to larger issues
about alienation and the search for love in a meaningless world
(issues that are surely not specific to twentynothings) and, judged by
that criteria, Reality Bites manages to fall somewhere in between the
comic and creative brilliance of The Graduate and the crass, cliched
commercialism of St. Elmo's Fire.
Far and away the f ilm's best feature is the funny, literate
script by 23-year old Helen Childress. The dialogue is wellstructured, witty and true; full of throwaway references to everything
from Hamlet to Three's Company but not the least bit condescending
towards the audience. Childress captures the way that people talk to
each other when they're not sure what they really mean, cloaking
insecurity in sarcasm and hip bravado. The characters are fullbodied, complex and dimensional; they consistently surprise the
audience and each other.
Credit is also due the stellar cast, particularly Ethan Hawke
and Janeane Garofalo. Hawke plays the resident cynic Troy, an out
of work, out of energy philosophy major who threatens to turn any
environment he enters into a "den of slack." Hawke is marvelously
appealing; he manages to exude viciousness, vulnerability, intelligence and guilt without ever seeming artificial. Ditto Garofalo, who
brings great comic energy and skill to her role. Winona Ryder is
charming in the read role as a highly creative, intelligent college
valedictorian who c an't get hired at Wienerschnitzel. There is an an
obvious mutual attraction between Ryder and Hawke, and their
avoidance and verbal sparring seem very realistic. These actors are
a perfect match for the smart script, and in the early scenes when they
are allowed to explore their characters without the strain of artificially imposed situations, the film is at its best.
As the film progresses, though, a romantic triangle develops
between Ryder, Hawke, and a well-meaning yuppie played by Ben
Stiller (who also directs). Stiller is a highly skilled comical actor, and
he manages to do extremely well with an endearingly inarticulate
character that could easily have been turned into a stereotype. But
the last 20 minutes of the film buy into conventional romantic movie
sentiment, and in so doing loses the character-driven charm of the
m ovie's first half.
Reality Bites is at its best when it allows itself to be about
nothing. It is a rare delight to see intelligent, imperfect humans
struggling with the mysteries of life and each other. This film speaks
to the concerns of its audience without trivializing them, and for that
it should be treasured.

in the community? There are thousands of
youths who donate their time and e ffort to
make North County abetterplaceandCSUSM
is seeking nominations for the President's
Youth Service Awards to recognize their
efforts.
The President's Youth Service Awards
were created by the White House O ffice of
National Service and the Corporation of National and Community Service. Because of
CSUSM's commitment to community service, the university was authorized to assist in

Award to recognize meaningful service to the
community.
To allow young people with different
skill levels to compete fairly, the awards are
presented in four age categories, 5 -8 years, 9 13 years, 14-17 years, and 18-22 years.
The awards are given f or individual
achievement, however, individuals who per-
form community service as part of a group are
eligible. The awards are designed to recognize voluntary, non-paid, community service
and to r ecognize h ands-on s ervice; all
fundraising activities are excluded from consideration. This year, the awards will recognize youths who show leadership in projects
that focus on helping others to learn.
We also understand that community service extends past the age of 22. Therefore, we
are including CSUSM students in this recognition.
Criteria are: exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and
building a service ethic. To be eligible,
nominees must be North County residents,
but they need not be U.S. citizens.
Nominations are being accepted through

The Duplication Services Department is a

Susan Brown feels the students' pain.
Her staff is instructed to help students whenever time permits. They will help create
transparencies for class presentations and
fasten business presentations in a thermal

One of the main reasons Duplication Services c an't meet all students' needs is time,
Brown says. Students generally need their

R OOMMATE
Since I have to leave to catch the bus, I
wished him the best and told him to have a
good day. It seemed like an old friend to him,
a phrase he once knew well, but hadn't heard
in a very long time. I'll never forget the look
on his face as he said "Yeah, you toot" and
walked through the park with his bag of
goodies once reserved for those you paid the
entry fee.
As I headed back toward the finish line
and the bus stop, I passed another man standing at the front of the park with his bag of cans
in his hand and a wistful, longing look in his
eyes. He didn't say anything to anyone, and
no one said anything to him. I walked past
him about 50 feet, but couldn't get the look on
his face out of my mind. I turned to go back,
but as I watched him stare blankly into the
crowd, I realized I had nothing left to give
him. There was nothing more I could do
today. I turned, sick with the knowledge that
I had been there for an hour and I was the only
one who seemed to notice or care about these
men. If there was nothing more I could do
today, it seemed more than likely that nothing
else would be done. I wiped my tears from
my eyes as I boarded the bus for my ride back
to the Horton Plaza parking garage and my
sheltered middle class life. I was lucky, I was
going home, where I didn' t have to remember
the people I had seen. But I'll always remember that some people didn't go home that
day—they had no home to go to.

CSU Northridge
Hopes to Open by
Feb. 14
Valentine's Day looks to be the opening day of spring semester for earthquake
damaged CSU Northridge, which has suffered an estimated $150 million in damage
from the 6.6 January 17th Northridge quake.
Park o n ^ i f i l i i l l
There were no injuries or fatalities on
the campus, but the building damage is extensive. The library and science buildings suffered significant damage. The South Library
which houses the campus computing center
has been condemned and Science Buildings 1
and 2 experienced chemical fires. The 2,447parking structure is destroyed. Most of the
University Park Apartments are stable but
will require repairs before students can move
back in.
Because so many buildings are not
safe, the campus will rent nearly 300portable
trailers to use for classroom and faculty o ffice
sp&ce. Gov. Wilson also said that they will
rent nearby offices and use other colleges and
schools for classes.
The Latino Association of Faculty and
Staff and the Associated Students of CSU
San Marcos have joined hands in providing
disaster relief to our neighbors, friends and
relatives in the Los Angeles area.
According to CSUSM's Chief of Police, Arnold P. Trujillo, a grand total of $ 1,227
was collected. The money will be donated to
the American Red Cross with the request that
"this money be used to assist the earthquake
victims in the Los Angeles area," says Trujillo.
Chief Trujillo and Public Safety Officers Bob Wheeler and Dave Ross were at the
scene the Monday morning of the earthquake
offering assistance to local law enforcement
at the Northridge campus site.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all
the people in the Los Angeles area.

Campus Survey to be
Conducted
CSUSM will be participating
in the systemwide survey of students, the fourth Student Needs and
Priorities Survey (SNAPS-94).
There have been three surveys prior
to SNAPS-94; the last was conducted in 1989. All CSU campuses
participated in SNAPS-89 with the
exception of San Diego State. All
20 campuses will be participating
in SNAPS-94.
In administering the survey,
each campus will follow a uniform
procedure which consists of surveying a sample of students in randomly selected courses during the
middle of the Spring. At CSUSM
we will start the survey process in
late February or early March. We
will survey about 750 students in
order to submit at least 500 completed surveys.
Surveys are submitted to the
Chancellor's Office and the responses are used to develop a
systemwide report which helps the
CSU present an accurate picture of
its student body in a public and
systematic way. In 1989 800 copies
of the SNAPS report were distrib-

uted nationally to public and private entities. Some of the information in the Executive Summary of
the 1989 SNAPS report indicates
that over two-thirds of CSU students were also employed and a
majority of respondents were classified as "commuter students."
Among the problems impeding students' efforts to achieve their educational goals, personal factors were
cited more frequently than institutional factors; financial problems
were ranked most often by 44 percent of the respondents. Among 18
potential campus reforms, the option to "offer summer courses at
regular fees" was chosen by 40 percent of the sample; the second most
popular reform was to "improve the
parking situation."
Each campus will receive a
dataset of the responses submitted
by its students so that analysis can
take place campus by campus. Responses are, of course, confidential
and data will be reported only in
aggregate form. The CSUSM data
should help all of us better understand the needs and opinions of our
students.
Institute
The Writing Center staff wants to
welcome all returning and new students
to a friendly place that helps to advance
written academic assignments—the Writing Center. The doors opened Feb. 9 at
9 AM.
The tutor corps of the Writing
Center offers a skilled group of students
whose foundation in writing theory and
practices come from English494 (Theory
and Practice of College Writing). The
tutors aim to foster academic quality
writing from the painless perspective of
a good friend who is interested in advaDcirig meaningful written analysis and
creative expression. Students at any
phase of an assignment—brain-storming, editing, revision or final draft inspection—are all part of the tutorial staff s
field of experience.
Please feel free to come by the
Writing Center and see how we can help.

to which the Cal State Student Association
had objected. A press conference was held on
Dec. 7 at SDSU by Gina Nunez, V.P. of
External A ffairs at SDSU and myself,
Michelle Sadova. The focus was to encourage Wilson to place higher education within
a category of immediate attention rather than
focusing on the construction of prisons as a
way to remedy crime. He responded, "As
Governor, I 've opened five new prisons.
Tonight, I propose that we offer $2 billion
worth of bonds to build six more. There will
be those who protest such costs. They'll
complain that they would prefer to spend the
money on higher education rather than more
prisons. Well, so would I. But this is not a
matter of choice."

in excess of 10 percent above and beyond its
state funds appropriation.
Mr. Bear, who recently retired as a
Senior Vice President from Hughes Aircraft
and as Chair of San Diego's United Way,
will join us for the remainder of the fiscal
year in the manner of United Way's "loaned
executive." That is, he will donate his time
to the university at no salary or benefits.
Bear was asked to accept the title of a
position recommended by the Chancellor
and adopted by the Trustees in their action
last week. He will be asked to assist the
university in its push during the remainder of
the year to meet its 1994 fundraising goals
and to assist in developing a strategic plan
that addresses the campus responsibility to
raise nearly $2.5 million for 1994-95 and
Bear will coordinate the University's efforts in fundraising, public affairs, and alumni
relations. Assisting Bear will be Jane Lynch in
Development, Norma Yuskos in Public Affairs
and, to a small extent, Tanis Brown in developing Alumni Affairs. Hugh La Bounty, another
distinguished volunteer to the campus, will
continue to provide senior leadership to the
emerging University Foundation in its responsibilities to develop and manage earned income
auxilliaries.

Computer Competency
Requirement—source of
student concern
K arin Foster
Staff Writer
CSUSM has a requirement that like the
writing requirement, is unique from other state
universities—the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). CSUSM requires that every
student fulfill this requirement before the end
of their second semester at CSUSM. Originally, this requirement coordinated with
CSUSM's writing requirement. Faculty wanted
to be assured that students knew how to use a
word processor and could apply this skill in
producing the 2,500 word writing assignment
required in every class. The second semester
deadline meant that students would be computer literate early in their studies at CSUSM.
Mary Atkins, Labs and Computer Competency Coordinator, explained that students can
fulfill the CCR in a variety of ways. Students
can take an approved course at a community
college, take a computer exam, or take a computer course at CSUSM that fulfills the requirement. Before taking a computer course at a
community college, students should check with
Admissions and Records for a list of all applicable classes. Those students wishing to fulfill
the CCR through an exam can also take a
workshop to help them prepare for the exam.
Many students opt to take a computer class
here at CSUSM. This semester the Computer
Science Department offered 14 classes that met
the CCR requirement. Of these, nine sections
of CS 304 were offered. This class examines
computer issues and provides basic computer
skills.
However, not all students have been completely satisfied with these computer classes.
Students who have taken CS 304 do not feel the
class has made them computer literate. The
semester divides basic computer knowledge
with word processing, spreadsheets, database
and computer programming. The amount of
material covered in one semester does not al-
low the student to gain ample skills in any
specific area. Atkins explained that CS 304
does not aim to make students computer
literate. "Hopefully, students will take what
they learn and run with it." CS 304 acts as an
introductory course which offers students
basic computer instruction. Students who
had little computer experience will still need
to develop their computer skill after completing this course.
Other students have voiced concerns about
classes having more students than available
computers. Similar to learning to drive, learning to use a computer requires hands-on experience. Students enrolled in computer
classes feel their computer time in class is
restricted. Atkins explained that this situation is typical at universities stating that "the
concept of one computer for every person is
unusual." Students taking computer classes
should expect to spend time in the computer
lab or with their home computer in order to
strengthen their skills.
Those students who have not fulfilled the
CCR should be aware that this requirement
must be completed by the end of their second
semester. For those students who make a
strenuous effort to completely avoid computers, Atkins advises, "Don't procrastinate.
People should not feel intimidated by the
Computer CompetencyRequirement. This
school makes a conscious effort to help people
pass; however, this does not mean waiving
the requirement."
The original goal of computer literacy for
all students by their second semester at
CSUSM may have been a little optimistic.
However, most students will have at least
developed alittle computer knowledge. They
should know how to turn one on.

LOVE CAREFULLY DURING
VALENTINE'S WEEK
S usan M endes, LYN
Health Education Assistant
The week of February 14 -18 is designated by the American College Health Association as National Condom Week. This
seems especially appropriate for a holiday
celebrating love and romance.
In conjunctipn with this theme, the Student Health Services Health Education Department and Student Health Advisory Board
are hosting a number of events on campus.
On Monday, Feb. 14, S.H.A.B. Members will be giving out safer sex information
and free condoms at a table in Founders'
Plaza. Also there will be film viewing in
Commons206from 11 A M-1 PM. Students
may drop in during these hours to view short
film segments or they may stay for the entire
presentation.
On Tuesday, Feb. 15, five North County
AIDS Organizations will have information
tables in Founders' Plaza from 10 AM - 2
PM and will be available to answer questions
about their free services. In the event of rain,
they will be in Commons 206 from 1 PM —
3 PM. In addition, Martha Baron will be
displaying J ohnny's Quilt and showing a
touching video interview about a family that
died of AIDS.
On Wednesday, Feb. 16, from 11 AM
t pl PM in Founders' Plaza, Earl Storm will
present information on the " Don't Duck
Responsibility" campaign from the non-profit
Stepping Stone Project. The program has
HIV information and graphics, including a
cartoon depicting Buckminster Duck, who is
the program mascot. The object of the pro-
gram is to educate the community on the direct
risk between alcohol use and HIV transmission and progression. The group presents a
caring and rational approach to responsible
behavior.
Also on Wednesday, there will be an HIV
Awareness lecture in Commons 206 from
2 PM—3PM. Based on the Red Cross format,
the lecture will be followed by a question and
answer session.
EVENTS SCHEDULE
J oel G rinolds, M D, M PH
Unless you have been stuck on a tropical
island over the past few months, you probably
have heard or read many reports on Health
Care Reform. Numerous approaches to reform are being discussed, offering everything
from incremental reform and single payer
systems (like the Canadian model) to the complex and far-reaching Clinton plan. Clinton's
plan and others are now being discussed in
Congress and some movement is expected in
this term.
Conceptually, there seems to be agreement on several aspects that should be important to students including universal coverage,
standard benefits, quality standards, insurance reform, antitrust and liability reform,
eligibility for all applicants,federal subsidies
for poor/low income participants, administrative simplification, improved purchasing
power of consumers, maintaining a variety of
providers (Health Maintenance Organizations,
fee for service, hybrids) encouragement of
primary, preventive, and managed care.
The various plans d iffer on the following
elements: mandatory employer-paid premiums, mandatory participation in regional alliances (without getting into detail, the alliances would pool consumers into a large
purchasing group then bargain with local
health plans for low-cost quality care), cost
controls, plan costs.
Although health care reform will have a
major impact on students, the reformers initially did not include the 13-14 million post
secondary education population or their existing health care system (i.e., Student Health
Centers) in their deliberations or specifically
in their plans.
What does reform mean for college health?
In short, nobody really knows. This probably
could be said for the general population. The
good news is that potentially all students will
have access to medical care. Also, the emphasis in reform is the provision of comprehensive primary and preventive medical care
which is the major objective of college health.
The American College Health Association and others have identified key players in
health care reform on Capital Hill and has
developed an informativepacket and a letter
that identifies key concerns. The packet also
describes the unique health care needs of the
college health population and the Student
Health Service model that currently provides
accessible, affordable, prevention-oriented
primary care as well as health education to
the broader campus community.
Stay tuned. Generally it is thought that a
plan will not be implemented quickly. However, it surely will have an impact. In future
columns I will discuss the plan or plans and
their impact as they unfold. For further
information, Dr. Grinolds can be reached at
Student Health Services, 752-4915.

�G iving a nd G etting— t he
r ewards o f v olunteering
C laire K . L angham
Service-Learning Coordinator
Katherine Johnson-LeVesque loves to
inform others about volunteer opportunities.
She enjoys being part of a solution, developing skills, and learning about new things. She
has designed the logo for CSUSM's Volunteer Day, Saturday, February 26, 1994.
Katherine, a senior, majors in psychology
with a minor in women's studies. Volunteering is central in her life. She explains that,
"Volunteering has a ripple effect. What I
have found is that the people I help, eventually help someone else."
"Giving has always felt
good to me and I like connecting to the spirit of another"
Learning how things work motivates
Katherine. For example, she volunteered to
work at the UC San Diego HIV Neuro-Behavioral Research Center. As a volunteer
providing clerical support and data input in
the psychiatry department, she observed the
process of research design, data collection
and publication, as well as how psychological testing was conducted.
Becoming a part of the solution instead of
just talking about a problem encapsulates
Katherine's philosophy. For the past five
years, she has been lecturing in the community and at local community colleges informing people about the effects of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual abuse on individuals and society. Her goal is to bring about
social change through raising public con-
sciousness and encouraging people to get
into treatment so that the devastating effects
of trauma in the family can be alleviated.
Katherine currently volunteers with several groups. In addition to her educational
presentations described above, she also provides support, guidance, and referrals for
survivors of abuse. At Being Alive, an HTV/
AIDS women and children's resource center,
she volunteers as a receptionist and assists
clients and their families tq deal with their
emotional adjustment, Wfiether "infected" or
" affected" by this disease. This year,
Katherine is the Program Coordinator for the
PTA at Hickman Elementary School. Ethnic
Diversity, Women's History, AIDS Education, and Dad's Involvement in Children's
Education are among the programs she has
created. These topics were inspired by courses
she has taken at CSUSM.
Most recently, Katherine developed a 4
hour program for her daughter's 6th grade
GATE (gifted) program on the physiology of
the brain. Using a sheep's brain, she taught
students its anatomy and functions. She
explained that since no one's brain works
perfectly , we are all slightly different, unique,
and that each of us has something special to
offer.
With the strong belief that you can make
lemonade out of lemons, Katherine has volunteered in the past with assistance to the
homeless and to immigrants, in designing
and sewing clothes for the disabled, in teaching puppeteering, crafts, and cooking through
her church youth and women's groups, visiting the elderly, and tutoring in the elementary
school classrooms.
"Anyone can overcome loneliness and
add interest to their lives," Katherine stresses.

"Giving has always felt good to me and I like
connecting to the spirit of another. I have a lot
to be thankful for, and like to use my talent
and capabilities to assist others."
In this spirit, Katherine is an active participant of the Outreach Sub-Committee of
the Service-Learning Committee planning
for Volunteer Day on campus on Saturday,
February 26,1994.
For the future, Katherine plans to continue her volunteer activities and to develop a
scholarship especially f or disadvantaged
youth who come from a background of abandonment, neglect, or abuse. Her motivation
is to help these youth create new and better
lives for themselves.
While Katherine was volunteering at an
outpatient center for severely depressed and
schizophrenic patients, one of the men remarked after listening to Katherine tell about
her activities, that she must be extremely
organized to "do it all!" That marked the first
time that Katherine reflected on the effectiveness of her time management and prioritizing
in everything she does. And, yes, she still
spends quality time with her family and enjoys her life. Enjoying volunteering makes
life more meaningful and more fun!
OLUNTEER DAY
Saturday, February 26
�Circle K lends time at Vista Soup Kitchen
C laire K . L angham
Service-Learning Coordinator
Volunteer Day is not until
the end of this month, but members
of Circle K have been volunteering
their services to help others weekly.
Ann Garman, President of Circle
K, not only directs club activities,
but personally becomes involved
in community service. Among the
30 m embers, C atherine Yeats
spearheaded getting C SUSM's
c lub to volunteer at the Soup
Kitchen on Thursday evenings in
Vista's Grace Presbyterian Church.
At Circle K 's weekly meetings on campus, students sign up to
help serve meals at this local soup
kitchen.
Wendy Dresher has been
helping 2 or 3 times a month for
several months. She observed,
' The first time people go there,
they anticipate that everyone is
homeless - but that is not the case.
For some, their social security or
other limited income runs out before the end of the month and they
haven't enough for food."
Scott Morey went to assist
at the soup kitchen for the first
time last week and will be going to
help again.
"It is very rewarding to go
there and help people who are
needy because they are so appreciative," Wendy added.
Kevin Kilpatrick emphasized the same comment. Kevin
said that he can really relate to the
homeless. "They are just like the
rest of us - they have hopes and
dreams, and have experienced disappointments too."
Wendy went on to explain,
"By the end of the month, there are
about 70 people of all ages, from
newborns to elderly, at the soup
kitchen. Most people though, are
between thirty and forty years old.'4
Kevin talks with the homeless. "The homeless are people
too. We have intelligent conversations with them." The people
who come to the soup kitchen ask
the Circle K student volunteers
about their university experience-—
what they are studying and their career goals.
Kevin described avoidance as
people's typical behavior toward the
homeless. In contrast, he asks them
if they are staying warm at night,
especially with the cold winter nights.
"When it rains, its very wet unless
they can find an overhang." Kevin
acknowledges that there are a f ew
homeless we should b e wary of, but
this is also the case with people in
general.
The interesting thing that
Kevin notes is that there is a real
camaraderie among the homeless
—they look out for one another. He
added, "These people are really appreciative of the assistance provided. They piteh in and help with
the cleanup afterwards. It shows
that they are not j ust taking advantage of society's generosity."
If you are interested in knowing more about Circle K, please

Staff Writer
Richard Harvey, Sigma Phi Delta's Public Relations Officer
The ground was still shaking
w ith a ftershocks w hen R ichard
Harvey, Sigma Phi D elta's Public
Relations Officer started organizing a
fund-raiser tohelp Los Angeles Earthquake victims.
Sigma Phi Delta, a social and
charitable fraternity at CSUSM designed a fund-raiser that allows us to
enjoy the beautiful southern California coastline while helping our neighbors to the north.
Buy o ne t hree-hour w halewatching ticket f or $ 15 and $5 will be
donated to the Los Angeles Quake
Relief Fund while $10 will go to
Apollo Charters. Captain JeffJohnson
has agreed to run the fund-raiser
through March 15,1994. The Apollo
is an all-aluminurn 65 foot 22 inch
sports fisher with a full galley and
sleeping quarters for 30, "just in
case you get sea sick" said Harvey.
The boat is certified to accommodate 94 whale watchers.
Harvey chose the Apollo for
several reasons. "It holds 94. It is
one of the nicest boats and Captain
Jeff Johnson was most generous in
working with me." Harvey said.
Radio stations KCEO (95.9
FM) and KCET (1000 AM) interviewed Sigma Phi Delta last Sunday. The fraternity spoke about
CSUSM and promoted their whalewatching fund-raiser at the same
time. The radio interview is on reserve in the school archives section
of the CSUSM library.
Sigma Phi Delta is now coordinating group trips aboard the
Apollo.
Harvey was approached by
Japanese students at UCSD who
are interested in an English as A
Second Language whale-watching
trip. Harvey is currently working
o naCSUSMFaculty whale-watching excursion.
Tickets must be bought in
advance and are available for purchase from any Sigma Phi Delta
member. For more information call
967-6523.
After "raising as much money
as possible" for the Earthquake Relief Fund, Harvey will organize a
benefit for the Association of
Retarded Citizens (ARC).
Sigma Phi Delta may host an Open
Invitational Miniature Golf Championship in April with proceeds
going to ARC.

Volunteer Day on Saturday, Feb. 26,
1v marks another first for this new cam-994,
pus. California State University San Marcos
has a special role in the North San Diego
County area, and in the spirit of community
partnership, the university initiates and offers programs to further intellectual, professional, and personal development within
the diverse community which it serves.
Volunteer Day activities on Saturday
Feb. 26, 1994, in the spirit of community
partnership, center around youth, the environment, the elderly, a museum exhibit,
and assistance with tax preparation for lowincome individuals.
The kick-off rally is in Commons 206
from 8 to 9 AM. Mayor Lee B. Thibadeau,
who has proclaimed Feb. 26,1994 as Volunteer Day in the City of San Marcos, will
participate. Volunteer activities start at 9
and continue to noon both on campus and in
the community.
Many CSUSM clubs and organizations
are volunteering their time to assist the next
generation to envision a university education in their future. They are joining together to provide campus tours and funfilled workshops to youngsters invited from
San Marcos schools, Boys and Girls Clubs,
and Key Clubs from the surrounding community. The following clubs are participating: the Liberal Studies Student Association, the Computer Club, the Student California Teachers Association, Circle K, the
Silver Shield, El Club de las Americas,
M.E.Ch.A., the Association of Business
Students, and the Pan African Student
Alliance.
Environmental volunteer service is at
nearby Discovery Lake Park. Earth Club,
the Associated Students, and the 3-D orga-
nization along with a Girl Scout troop, will
focus their services on sprucing up the park
and creating a nature display.
The Accounting Society will help low
income individuals with their tax preparation, and the Argonaut Society will prepare a
new exhibit for the San Marcos Historical
Society and Museum. Key College Opportunities plans to continue their services to seniors in San Marcos. The Knights also plan
to continue with their c lub's involvement in
Special Olympics.
English language students from Japan
will join in a variety of the on-going activities. The Japanese Culture Exchange Club is
planning a potluck for the volunteers after all
events have been completed that day.
Students from Soc 309 Aging and Society, as part of Service-Learning in the course,
will assist at the Elder/Adult Care Annual
Public Forum sponsored by the San Marcos
Family Care Commission at the San Marcos
Joslyn Senior Center.
Participation is welcome and students,
staff, and faculty can sign up in the Associated Students Office to join in activities organized by CSUSM clubs and associations.
Many hands not only make the work lighter,
but more enjoyable.
Volunteer Day will provide an opportunity for students and our local community to
participate in cooperative services. These
activities fulfill several university goals including outreach and cooperation with our
broader community, promotion of civic pride
and responsibility, and initiation of contacts
f or service-learning. A number of our faculty
are encouraging service-learning in their
classes to link real-life experience through
service to the theories and concepts taught in
the course.

The Service-Learning Committee enthusiastically anticipates upcoming guest
lecturer, Dwight Giles, of Vanderbilt University. Giles will be speaking at CSUSM
on Monday, Feb. 21 and Tuesday, Feb. 22.
Giles, an expert in the field of servicelearning, has been granted a three-year
FIPSE grant dealing with learning outcomes
in the field of service-learning.
His talk entitled, "What Is This Thing
Called Service-Learning: Working Through
Definitional Confusion," will be addressed
to the CSUSM campus on Feb. 21 from
Noon-1:30 PM. Everyone is invited to
attend.
This month the California Center for the
Arts, Escondido, designated 9,000 square
feet of gallery space at the $75 million arts
center as the California Center for the Arts
Musuem.
The Museum will be a permanent nonprofit institution, essentially educational and
humanistic in purpose, which will own, study,
care for, and regularly exhibit and interpret
works of art to the public.
The new museum will curate exhibitions
of regional, national and international artists
and host traveling exhibitions, as well as
establish a Permanent Collection of art from
the 20th century, with an emphasis on American and regional art.

CSUSM Writing Requirement
-mindless labor or intellectual growth
Roy Latas
Legislature Sidesteps the Real Issues
Staff Writer
Students* interests in issues such as
free speech, child care and Student Union
fees gain and lose momentum, yet the All
University Writing Requirement (AUWR)
constantly sparks opinions from students and
faculty. The initial grousing of first semester
students translates to praise and thanks from
graduating seniors.
Up to this point in our academic careers, there has been a general lack of emphasis on English composition skills in American education which has caused American
industrial and economic institutions to question the academic standards that allow colleges and universities students to graduate
without adequate writing skills. CSUSM is
trying to remedy this situation with the
AUWR. The definition of the AUWR, as
stated in the 1992-1993 University Catalog,
is: "Students are advised to note that every
course at California State University, San
Marcos has a writing requirement component of2,500 words. This requirement can be
filled in a variety of ways, depending on the
course." This impersonal sounding writing
r equirement r epresents the F ounding
Faculty's intention of creating a graduating
population instilled with exemplary writing
skills. They hoped the AUWR would furnish
a mechanism that insured all graduates received sufficient opportunity to use and improve their writing skills.
The AUWR makes it necessary for all
students to write within a variety of disciplines in varying contexts from literature to
biology. The Founding Faculty also understood the demand for clear, concise, and
logically written communication in the postgraduate areas of employment and graduate
school, as well as in family and social contexts.
The implementation of the AUWR
takes a variety of forms depending on the
discipline and faculty member. A common
form is the 2,500 word paper. Here, the
student makes an in-depth study of a particular topic and presents a detailed report that
condenses many information sources into a
3 Strikes You're Out
clear and compact analysis. Other faculty
members may assign several smaller papers
during the semester, thereby reducing student stress levels, as well as the instructor's
laborious task of grading multitudes of long
papers at one time.
The format of a paper or assignment
presents an infinite array of possibilities. Some
professors employ written work in the form
of diaries, screenplays, journals, letters, or
novella, promoting a new critical frame for
the student to exercise his or her analytical
perspective. These formats challenge the
students' minds to realize alternative connections within the subject matter while increasing the students' creative freedom, and making the task less intimidating.
The journal is the most popular alternative form of writing. Journal entries are
devoted to the preceding week's discussions;
the journal condenses the student's comprehension of new material while allowing the
professor an insight into the absorption of
lecture information. The journal entries allow the professor to understand when issues
are cloudy and make adjustments or reviews
when necessary.
The faculty relies on the AUWR to
furnish students with an additional opportunity to decipher what they learn through writing, and reassemble classroom information
in a way that demonstrates understanding of
the concepts. Writing theorist Peter Elbow
calls this process "cooking.' "Cooking means
getting material to interact." The interaction
of thoughts creates new material that the
student can interpret which may include segments of classroom experience and personal
insight. This process is assimilation not memorization. The student undergoes a metamorphosis through conceptual analysis. Elbow
also reminds his readers that "[g]rowing
means getting words to evolve through
stages," not overnight.
The intent of the AUWR is growth
within the student, and we all have felt some
growing pains. However, our new stature has
the foundation of improved writing skills.

Staff Writer
In theory, it is difficult to argue
against any of the five "3 Strikes and
You're Out" crime bills currently in front
of the California state senate. All the bills
guarantee stiffer sentences for any criminal convicted of a second violent felony
and life imprisonment if convicted of a
third. Certainly, violent crime has reached
epidemic proportions in American society and it is obvious that something must
be done. The "3 Strikes" concept has
provided politicians with an unprecedented opportunity to look tough on crime
without alienating any powerful voting
lobby. Even President Clinton, in a State
i of the Union address otherwise dedicated
to health care and welfare reform, received his biggest bipartisan applause by
reiterating his support of such a bill on the
federal level.
It is wise, though, (as it is with
anything to which all politicians pay carefully calculated lip service) to maintain a
healthy skepticism about the rash of current crime legislation. In California, the
"3 Strikes" frenzy was fueled in large part
by the murder of Polly Klaas, the young
child kidnapped from her living room and
brutally killed by aconvicted felon. Klaas'
story mesmerized the nation, in large part
because it symbolized the encroachment
of violent crime into suburbia. "Are our
children no longer safe in their own
homes?" parents everywhere wondered.
Many of those parents had political pull,
and the conviction that something must be
done to keep violent criminals behind bars
and out of our neighborhoods eventually
reached the state legislature.
The Klaas case was a horrible tragedy. But horrible tragedies are the norm in
many of our inner cities, a fact which
seems to have escaped our governmental
leaders for quite some time. A child in
Watts has not been safe in her own living
room for a long time now. She has not been
safe on her way to school, in her classroom,
on the playground or on her way home.
She has been forced to live with the fact
that violence is a way of life in her community. Streets burned, buildings were looted,
a city was ignited and the California legislature did nothing to address crime in the
inner city. There has been no legislation
aimed at creating economic opportunities
for the young people in Los Angeles most
likely to turn to crime. There has been no
increase in police protection in urban areas
plagued by constant gang warfare. There
has been no attempt to stop crime before it
starts by engaging in the kind of honest
discourse about values and community that
elected officials are so afraid of. The same
politicians who turned their back as our
cities turned into war zones now purport to
end crime as we know it by guaranteeing a
few stiffer sentences. I t's not a bad first
step, but i t's hardly enough and i t's long
overdue.

Dear Editor:
I want to acknowledge a writer among us
who chooses to communicate a detestable
message. I found this message written on
toilet paper—CSUSM toilet paper, in a lavatory here on campus:
"HOMOS SHOULD NOT BE
TOLERATED
GAY BASHING IS THE CURE"
I find this message disturbing enough
that I refrain from signing my name out of
concern for personal safety. Although I
believe that college might help open this
person's mind, I feel sad, regardless of my
views on homosexuality (tolerance of those
different from me), that someone among us
declares hatred in this vile and covert way.
Rather than engage in open debate, the writer
chose to display his hatred anonymously.

The Pride is s^iiciting ^oiur jparjtici^atioh
in am on-going dialogue on issues facing
universities arid colleges today. Input from
faculty, $tudeiits;staff and the business community is Invited to explore the future of
higher education,
A recent is^ueof the Economist referred
to today- s/universities as "towers of babble"
raising serious issues facing higher education. What are the goals of universities
today? Are they meeting the needs of the
marketplace? What should be the purpose of
a tax-supported institution?
The public university, like other government institutions, is slow to change. Revered
as instruments of enlightenment in the past,
today government treats higher education
like an inefficient Nationalized industry.
Once considered the engine of economic
growth, today's university is becoming a
dinosaur, concerned more with image than
impafct te^^^
away from tiiii#rsities for advice and rese^rcto; turning to think-tanks such as the
ffiritafe^'F^ndation^-CATO Institute and
l&ftnci^^
The' taostfre-,
quejiteom^
are
t hat'toiyersilies -We f illed with 1960s
dogooders and that "academics rarely give
'y^u^ fWiinoney ;.»[and] star professors are
perpetually on sabbatical."
With fees skyrocketing, and college enrollment declining, what docs the future hold
ifor tdmoitow's college graduate? The computer is probably partially responsible. An
enormous array of information is available at
the fingertips of every nimble typist with a
modem for a fraction of the cost of a college
education. By way of Compuserve, Prodigy
and Internet we can access thousands of online databases and hold discussions with
experts from around the globe.
Video tape is another medium which
offers practical, educational applications for
a fraction of the cost of a college education.
Palomar College introduced the TV course,
where you can study accounting, anthropology or Spanish in the comfort of your home.
Rising costs and declining revenues are
forcing universities to re-evaluate priorities.
University costs, according to The Economist, rise much faster than inflation because
they are labor intensive (wages rise faster
than prices). Even Ivy League colleges are
teetering on alienating the middle class, leaving these legendary institutions to the idle
rich. Politicians are questioning whether the
money could better be spent on other things.
Private industry has been much better at
harnessing the information revolution than
its public-sector counterparts. The market
must adapt quickly to the needs of J N
marketplace, or die. Tlie combination of
academic tenure and cumbersome decision-making tends to preserve old institutions rather than expand or create new
ones. •

Governments bent on reform are looking at three popular strategies. The first
uses the market approach with government
playing the role of the purchaser, By
linking funding to performance and separating research funds from money for teaching, government has provided two distinct
ways of boosting a university's i ncomeincreasing the number of pupils or improving the quality of their research. British
universities are pursuing these different
avenues for survival producing remarkable results within a short period of time.
Oxford, Cambridge and the like, emphasizeresearch. The next top 10 schools have
a mix of both research and a teaching
focus, while a third group focuses primarily on teaching. While academics regard
thisas an affront to their dignity, this scheme
- A second approach in cutting costs is to
simply shift funds to cheaper institutions
like community colleges and innovative
sources of higher education, like workstudy programs, distance learning, and
getting credit for life and work experience.
A third strategy is for universities to
diversify their funding. Rather than relying solely on government funds, universities should market their research to local
industry. In the U.S., industry-sponsored
research has more than quadrupled in the
past decade. This would serve to create a
better rapport with the business community, and attract funding as well as provide
a purpose for graduates. Raising fees is
another way to diversify funding. While
critics complain that this would curtail
expansion, in Britain, "free" education has
done little to bring the hordes to the sanctuary. The fact remains that local, state and
federal governments are putting a limit on
educational funding.
Universities must accept the fact that
governments are becoming increasingly
reluctant to fund higher education.
California's school system once satisfied private industry s demand for technical
research, physicists, chemists and engineers that fueled the dramatic growth of the
California economy. These positions are
now predominantly staffed by foreigntrained graduates.
Can higher education meet the needs of
an ever-changing marketplace?
�I'll Take Anything" holds up despite drastic
revisions
66T?
Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
It is no secret that James L. Brooks'
new film I'll Do Anything began life as a fullfledged Holly wood musical. It was an ambitious idea, but test audiences were so turned
off by the musical numbers that Brooks felt
compelled to rework the entire film. The
director edited and reshot to such a degree
that the only semblance remaining of the
film's previous incarnation is a solitary song
T M ouie
R euiew
by five year old Whittni Wright.
The film holds up surprisingly well
after such drastic revision, mainly on the
strength of the acting and Broolcs' ear for
witty and insightful dialogue.
Nick Nolte heads the cast, portraying a
down-on-his-luck actor forced to take in the
six year old daughter he hasn't seen for two
years. Albert Brooks is an action film producer obsessed with the bottom line and Julie
Kavner is a public opinion pollster who runs
tests screenings and can utter nothing but the
truth. Wright is truly a discovery as the
bratty, precocious child with whom Nolte
must re-establish a bond.
The plot is unimportant in a film such
as this, where most of the pleasure comes in
watching the actors inhabit their roles. Nolte
is outstanding as a likable guy struggling to
come to terms with the realities of parenthood
and Hollywood at the same time; the best
scenes in the film are between Nolte and
Wright. Their exchanges seem genuine and
honest because the characters have been so
well crafted and written with such care. The
laughter and tears this father—daughter relationship invokes are not easy and sentimental; the actors earn the sentiment.
Less successful is the subplot involving a romance between Brooks and Kavner.
Both actors are superb, especially Brooks.
His producer character could easily have been
a stock stereotype, an easy villain for a film
about the film industry. But, perhaps because
the director is also himself a producer, the
role is given complexity and even a degree of
likableness. It is not difficult to see why the
kind, giving character played by Kavner would
be attracted to such a person. But the romance is inadequately explored. Perhaps this
is the area where the music played an integral
role and the reshooting and editing couldn't
completely cover that gap.
Nonetheless, I'll Do Anything is an
extremely likable, well-written film about a
group of interesting, complex people. It is
difficult to imagine the movie as a musical,
which is probably a tribute to Brooks editing
ability and an indication that he ultimately
made the correct decision.

�Poli Sci Professor Talks
on Crime in the Black
Community
Karin Foster
Staff Writer
Photo/Carlos Mariscal
As a kick-off for Black History month,
political science professor Dr. Edward Thompson i n delivered a lecture on crime in the
black community. Dr. Thompson took a
critical look at public policy regarding crime,
and the impact this legislation will have on
the African-American community.
As the economy begins to recover, politicians have started shifting their focus from
economic concerns to the issues of crime and
violence. President Clinton reflected this
trend in his address to the nation. Dr. Thompson commented that the President's " Three
Strikes You're Out' was the centerpiece of
the President's State of the Union address."
The proposed "Three Strikes You're
Out" legislation would sentence offenders
convicted of a third violent felony to mandatory life imprisonment. Thompson criticized
this type of legislation as representing "an
imbalance between punishment and prevention." He argued that this policy would have
minimal effects on crime, while depleting
funds that could be used to address critical
social needs. Furthermore, this legislation
would most negatively effect the AfricanAmerican community.
Thompson argues that legislators who
support these bills use "faulty assumptions."
Supporters declare that high imprisonment
rates will lessen crime. In fact, Thompson
stated studies prove the opposite is true. States
that have the highest rate of incarceration
have the most violent crime, while states that
have the lowest rates have less violent crime.
According to Thompson, supporters of
PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS
S LICK R OADS
the "Three Strike" policy also promote the idea that mandatory sentencing will guarantee imprisonment of
criminals.
Thompson also argued that
President Clinton is fully aware of
problems that plague the AfricanAmerican community. Clinton acknowledges that crime has increased
because of the breakdown of family
and community. The President also
recognizes that black youths need more
employment opportunities. Yet, according to Thompson, Clinton chooses
to promote legislation that will increase the breakdown of these values.
He feels the President's policies towards crime ignore the underlying
problems. African-American families are severely threatened by the
high incarceration rate of young black
men. Youths in prison cannot form stable
families. Many of those incarcerated have
turned to crime because their community
lacks jobs that would allow them to support
families or themselves. Lack of financial
resources prevents these youths from seeking
better employment in the suburbs. Limited
opportunities for young black men often
leads to crime as a solution for survival.
Effective legislation would directly
address these problems, Thompson believes.
Rather than spend millions of dollars incarcerating criminals for their entire lives, money
could be spent on programs that would offer
disadvantaged youths alternatives to crime.
Year-round sports programs, improved
schools, and effective job-training centers
could be implemented as a means of preventing youths from engaging in crime. Criminals already imprisoned should receive counseling to develop stronger social skills, while
receiving employment training and education. Education and training in prison could
provide incentive and motivation to find work
after release.
Dr. Thompson did not deny the seriousness of violent crime, or the fact that
society must punish violent offenders. However, the seriousness of this problem should
cause legislators to create laws that work
towards genuine solutions. American society is demanding the reduction of violent
crime. Dr. Thompson argues that although
President Clinton's proposals may appear
tough, they will do little or nothing to solve
America's violent crime problem.

.
For the first time, the 20 CSU campuses and Chancellor's Office have
raised more than $ 100 million in voluntary contributions. In 1992/93, $109.4
million was raised, an increase of 10.8
percent from 1991/92's $98.7 million.
CSU Long Beach led the campuses
with $16.2 million, followed by San
Diego State with $15.5 million, Cal
Poly San Luis Obispo with $10.9 million, and CSU Fresno with $10.8 million. The largest percentage increase
was CSU Sacramento, which increased
its private gifts 115 percent, from $4.0
million to $8.6 million. CSU San Bernardino showed a 101 percent increase,
going from $1.0 million to $2.1 million.
Corporate giving increased five percent in 1992/93, from $38.5 million to
$40.4 million. San Jose State's alumni
contributed the highest amount, $2.4
million, a 162 percent increase. In the
past six years, contributions to the CSU
have grown from $57.4 million in 1987/
88 to $109.4 million in 1992/93, an increase of 91 percent.
OTHER CSU NEWS:
An update on plans for a new CSU
campust at Fort Ord. Downsizing in the
military has given the CSU an unprecedented opportunity to receive 1,300acres
of Fort Ord in Monterey Bay for a new
campus that eventually will accommodate 20,000 students by 2020. According
to the progress report to the trustees give
by J. Handel Evans, president of San Jose
State University, and Peter Hoff, CSU
senior vice chancellor for academic affairs,finalconveyance of the property by
the federal government is expected by
May, and the first group of students is
expected by fall 1995. The federal government already has provided $15 million
of an eventual $135 million that will be
provided to the system to convert existing
buildings to campus usage.
Keeping Romance in Your Relationship
P am F arrel
Contributing Writer
February is the month for lovers. Red and
white hearts adorn the malls and everyone is
in the mood for romance. However, in our
society, romance and sex getinterchanged as
if synonyms. Sex can often be a sultry killer
to romance and can thwart a person from
finding true love. Consider these findings:
Mosts couples break up when a crisis
pregnancy arises.
There are no "STD" bouquets to send
when you give your lover a sexually transmitted disease.
A ccording to D ick Day and J osh
McDowell, authors of "Why Wait," a sexual
relationship can cloud your decision making
process and your hormones can connect yout
to someone that your heart knows isn't right.
Studies have concluded that couples who
live together prior to marriage are twice as
likely to end up in divorce court.
In a survey of the first graduating class of
Cal State San Marcos students, 51 percent
gave an okay to casual sex. but there is
nothing casual about sex. Giving yourself'
totally to another, bearing your body and soul
isn't the same as having your usual morning
cup of coffee. Perhaps we have all lsot sight
of the difference between love and lust. Na-
tionally know, psychologist, Steve Arterburn
explains the difference between love and lust
as—
Love is personal, lust is impersonal. Love
is concrete, focused on a particular object;
lust is unfocused, capable of fixing on almost
any object. Love tends toward faithfulness,
lust is a wanderer. Love seeks stability, lust
is short-lived and mercurial. Love is an affair
of the mind and heart, lust is an affair of the
emotions and hormones. Love is a matter of
giving, lust is matter of taking.
Musicians Steve and Annie Chapman have
a line in one of their love songs, "True love
starts with a kiss of hearts." To keep romance
in your life, give your heart and keep your
body until you hear, "With this ring, I thee
wed." No matter your sexual history, you can
make decisions today to protec t your future
lovelife and ensure that romance becomes a
lifestyle rather than a fleeting sentiment on a
Hallmark card.
Pam Farrel is a graduating senior who has coauthored a book with her husbandBill. Their
book "Pure Pleasure: Making Your Marriage a
Great Affair ** is due out in June. Pam is also a
member ofS.A.LT., a Christian group on
campus.
Presidents,
Faculty
Receive Salary
Increases
Presidential salaries were increased for
the first time in three years by the Board of
Trustees. Five collective bargaining agreements, including one with the California Faculty Association, also were ratified, giving
many employees their first general pay increases in several years.
Effective April 1, salaries for the 20 presidents were raised an average of 8.6 percent.
The annual average salary of a CSU president
will be $130,461, up from $120,075. Two
presidents serving in interim positions did
not receive increases; when those permanent
appointments are made, new salaries will be
set.
Approximately $17 million for salary increases for presidents and other CSU employees was set aside by trustees after the
legialators augmented the CSU budget by
$50 million for 1993/94. The presidental
increase will total about $200,000; the rest of
the $ 17 million will go for the system* s 33,000
employees.

The Dome. Is it a dining room? Is it a
study lounge? Is it a student center? Is it a
dance hall? Is it a lecture area? To find the
answer I took a drive along the frontage road
of Freeway 78 to the pink and green stucco
building which is the home of The Foundation.
There I found Marty Grey, who handles
requests for use of the Dome. When considering these requests, Grey tries to coordinate
a "unified effort" to help different organizations hold successful special events on campus.
"The Dome was designed as a dining hall/
study area," Grey said. "We are trying to
make it used for many things that it was not
designed for." The ever-present echo makes
the Dome an undesirable lecture site. The
inflexible lighting system (the lights cannot
be dimmed) makes it an inadequate dance
hall.
The question remains—if the Dome was
not designed to accommodate student events,
where did he planners expect the students to
hold their functions? Outdoors? Off campus?
Grey suggested that maybe "the planners
didn't think we would be so social." Meanwhile, the Foundation is trying to come up
with creative ways to use the campus facilities. Recently, Grey received a request for
the use of the Dome as the site of a dance party
in February. She's trying to find an alternative location, possibly outdoors.
If you are considering hosting an event in
the Dome, here are a few things to remember.

rights on campus. The Foundation has a food

CSUSM Makes A Big Impact on
Saving the Environment
Our recycling program started
in August and during the first two
months alone, we diverted 31,300
lbs. of material. That's an
excellent start for our new
program.
If we take a close look at what
this effort means to our environment, it becomes even more
impressive. We have been busy
recycling several varieties of
paper including newspaper,
cardboard and mix paper. The
more than 14 tons of recycled
paper means that CSUSM has
saved 294 trees, 3,920 gallons of
oil and 98,000 gallons of water!
The glass bottles that have been
recycled reduces the need for
mining sand, limestone and soda
ash. Making aluminum cans from
recycled aluminum reduces
related air pollution by 95%.
Why recycling just one aluminum
can saves enough energy to
operate a TV for three hours.
Let's keep up the good work..
Take that extra step or two, to put
your recyclables in the right
container. Together we have
made a difference and we can
continue to make a greater one!

service contract with Aztec Shops. Aztec
Shops holds the food-handling insurance.
You may bring in your own caterer by
asking Aztec Shops to subcontract with your
caterer. Just don't try to cater the event
yourself because no home cooked food is
allowed. Only licensed caterers are permitted on campus. These food handling policies help the Foundation achieve its goals of
"creating a coordinated effort" and assuring
"careful food handling."
Your next step is to fill out a "Request
for Space Form." These forms are being
tested right now since the University is still
coming up with a facilities policy. An
interim policy is now in place. Developing
this policy is a lengthy process. "The first
draft was 15 pages, now we've narrowed it
down," Grey said. The Foundation is testing
the Request for Space forms to see if they
flow well before it makes a formal policy to
be adopted by the University.
The goal of the Facilities Use Policy i s to
"identify the areas available for use and see
what uses the areas serve well and to help
determine whether the campus can meet the
needs of the event," Grey said.
Although the goal of the Facilities Use
Policy is sensible, some of us continue to
wonder how student unity can be a priority
at CSUSM when our campus facilities are
not conducive to hosting variety of student
events.
Office of Admissions
and Records Gets a
New Door
An automatic double door that opens
onto the Founders Plaza has been installed
in Craven Hall 5110, the counter area of
Admissions and Records. From now on,
this will be the public entrance to and exit
from our office for everyone. Please direct
visitors, students, etc. to use this door when
coming in to A and R. I ask that all staff
and faculty likewise use the new double
door. The former entrance to Admissions
and Records off the corridor will be kept
locked.
We hope to have a sign hung outside
near the new door identifying our office in
the near future.
�CSUSM Professor wins
Presidential Award
for Excellence in Science and Math Teaching
The White House recently
informed CSUSM professor,
Joseph Keating that he received the Presidential Award
for Excellence in Science and
Mathematics Teaching. Each
year, one math teacher and
one science teacher are selected from each state for this
prestigious award.
Keating said of the award,
"I am honored to have been
chosen as a recipient of the
Presidential Award. When
Congress established the
award, they made a statement
about the importance of science education for all Americans. I believe that science
should be an integral part of
our educational system and
as a f aculty m ember at
CSUSM feel very fortunate
to be given the opportunity to
make the connections between science and the training of teachers of science."
The Presidential Award
acknowledges the important
role teachers play in attracting students into science and
mathematics. The award carries with it a
grant of $7,500 from the National Science
Foundation and an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. The trip to the capitol in April
1994 includes an award ceremony, a dinner
at the State Department, and several workshops where awardees exchange ideas and
experiences

Education faculty this August. Said Steve

CSUSM's Writing Requirement is Excessive
USD, SDSU & UCSD have no formal writing requirements
By Karen Foster
Staff Writer
Have you noticed that you've been
spending a lot of quality time with your
computer lately? The end of the semester
is quickly winding down and everyone
seems to be struggling to finish an endless
number of term papers. During this
stressful time, many students view
CSUSM's writing requirement of 2,500
words for each class with a great deal of
hostility.
CSUSM's writing requirement is unique
to our university. A survey of USD,
UCSD and SDSU was made to see if these
universities had any standardized writing
requirement. All of them expressed surprise
that CSUSM has a formal writing requirement, and added that their schools leave
writing requirements up to the individual
professors.
While there is no intent to diminish the
importance of writing, the need for a
formalized writing requirement seems
unnecessary. In an attempt to satisfy this
criteria, most professors assign a final term
paper. Students taking a full load of courses
usually find themselves struggling to
complete four or five term papers all due
at approximately the same time. This
end-of-semester crunch often results in
insufficient time to finish other class
readings and assignments.
While some professors offer creative
ways to satisfy the writing requirement,
others have reacted by assigning enormous amounts of written work. Some 300
level classes require more written work
than 400 level courses. Given the
excessive writing required in each class, it
is impossible to do a good job in every
class. Burnout quickly sets in.
Regardless of the minimum writing
requirement, term papers would probably
still be a requisite for most classes.
However, the pressure of preparing a
research paper for every class could be
relieved. Some professors could create
alternatives to written work that would
enhance different learning skills. For now,
we are left to deal with the writing load.
Keep pounding away at that computer, and
promise your friends and family that you'll
see them after December 18.

�How t o Handle Difficult People
By Mary Szterpakiewicz
Editor-in-Chief
Dr. Laura Schlessinger, licensed psychotherapist and popular talk show host recently spoke at the Hotel Del Coronado.
Her topic—how to handle difficult people.
According to Dr. Laura (as her radio listeners call her), "when dealing with difficult
persons, always remember 99% of the time
the other person is not going to change. No
one likes to* give up control and power.
How do we normally react when someone makes us angry or upset? We hide. We
deny. We wish the upset would go away.
We d on't want to deal with it. We become
miserable. Life is tough enough without
voluntary misery, so we want to protect
ourselves. We d on't want to admit our fears
or our pain. Nothing you do or say is more
powerful than fear—not sex, not love, not
food, not money.
Why does anyone act like a jerk intentionally? Because they are in the self-protection mode. How you perceive it, how you
react to it are important. People are basically different. You can't change their behavior, but you can only change how it feels.
The main point in dealing with difficult
people—stop being the victim. "Don'town
it and you can handle it," says Dr. Laura.
Changing your behavior (how you deal with
the situation) will help you take control.
The five most common types of difficult
people are:
1. The Ranter and Raver. Their anger
makes you feel hurt and scared. You are
convinced you must be letting them down.
The issue is acceptance by a parent. You
need to look at your history. Did your
family show anger? Was anger discouraged
or suppressed? Was there a lot of denial and
avoidance in your family or an explosive
parent? Yourreaction to the ranter andraver—
you become terrified.
If you do nothing, it is perceived as passivity and permission. How to deal with an
angry person? When someone screams, pretend they're under water and say a mantra.
Tune out. The anger is about them, not you.
Use humor. Find ways to deflect the anger—
picture the screamer sitting on a toilet. This
helps to put you in an objective place. What
can you say to an angry person? "Stop, I
don't appreciate being talked to like this."
Keep saying it over and over again. It helps
to keep your integrity in place. Or use naivete—"Excuse me, I 'm having a hard time
understanding what you're saying, can you
repeat that to me more slowly?" This will
generally take the sting out.
Use reverse psychology.
Tell the person to keep yelling, and say you'll wait till
they calm down. All these
devices help to put you in
control of the situation and
no longer make you the victim.
2. The Manipulator.
These persons don't give.
They are only in the relationship to get what they
want. They lay guilt on
others. They are too scared,
too afraid to change. They
pretend to be caring to get
what they want. They are
afraid to give in return.
The manipulator is very
seductive and a charmer.
You want to believe it. You
know each other 20 minutes and you know i t's 'real.' When a woman
has sex with a man, she thinks it means the
same thing to the man. But she doesn't ask—
it might mean something totally different to
him. We don't ask because we d on't want to
know. You are still hopeful. You feel used
and unhappy. ' There is risk in any relationship," cautions Dr. Laura, "so don't donate it
,too quickly until you see signs of a reciprocal
relationship." You can't buy love, not with
money, sex, or affection. It happens over
time, not in one night.
3. A Flake/Space Cadet. They don't
commit to anything. You end up feeling
angry and used. "Flakes are unreliable and
hard to pin down, so stop trying," reminds Dr.
Laura. These people tend to marry control
freaks. You end up with a relationship where
only one person is paddling the raft on the
river of life. Be less upset by it, because you
can't change it. If you are involved with a
space cadet, you will end up being in control
of the relationship. These people don't try
and are afraid to take risks or try new things.
If you choose to stay in this relationship,
maximize the positives. Even flakes do something well. Get enthused about that, but don't
push. If you push or criticize them, they
withdraw and it reinforces their defenses.
4. Hypercritical/Negative Type. This
type of individual is unhappy and insecure.
They don't want to be wrong so they're on the
alert for anything wrong and are looking for
people to blame. Look at these people with
pity. Use humor. If you're always surrounded by negativity, get a second opinion
to get some objectivity. You can teach the
nitpicker realistic f eedback. Someone
nitpicky or critical is rarely specific. If they
say "This house sucks!" Ask for specifics.
"Which part of the house sucks?" People
won't stop being that way, but in time it will
be tempered. The only way a critical person
can get to you is if you are hypercritical
yourself.
5. Ignorer. This type of person couldn't
care less. They keep doing the same routine,
and you tend to overreact. You feel rejected.
Ten times out of ten, you know why you are
being rejected. Have a heart-to-heart talk
with the ignorer. Tell this person you feel
hurt. We pay a high price for negative feelings.
When dealing with difficult people, look
inside yourself. You are the container for the
pain you experience. How you perceive it
will help you deal with it. Dr. Laura
Schlessinger can be heard Monday-Friday on
KFI-AM 640 from noon till 2 PM.

Plaza Nov 8 and 9.
Volunteers Robert Wortmanand
Ann Garman
By Marilyn Ribble
"More people should volunteer.
The world would be a better place,"
said Robert Wortman, president of
the Accounting Club, last week at
the recent Service-Learning Volunteer table in the Plaza. Wortman
has been a volunteer in such diverse
areas as Boy Scouts and Volunteer
Research for the State Board of
Equalization. Wortman is a Business/Accounting major and will participate in the VITA project to assist low income people with tax
forms this spring.
Yvonne McCarty, a Liberal Studies major, found personal satisfaction in her volunteer hours with the
Red Cross, fundraising, as the Art
Club treasurer and says about the
field of volunteering, "I recommend
it to everyone. It is a wonderful
professional and personal growth
experience." In addition, Yvonne
is president of SCTA and the Liberal Studies Ckib vice president.
CSUSM is very committed to
building a service-learning base and
has begun by initiating several
events to call attention to what is a
progressive and new element in
education. Over 100 students
stopped by the table in Founder's
"I truly enjoy volunteering. It
gives me self satisfaction knowing
that you have made someone
smile," said Ann Garman. Garman,
an Accounting major, has an impressive list of volunteering in her
background. Ask her about it sometime, or, in brief, here's a few of
the areas Ann has chosen: Special
Olympics, Best Buddies Club,
President of Circle K at CSUSM,
Christmas Angel Project for kids
this Christmas. And in Ann's f uture she sees herself in Kiwanis
Club and continuing with Circle K
as an advisor.
Richard Molloy, a Psychology
major, also has contributed his time
as a volunteer. Molloy gives his
past experiences as helping with
the Indian Fair in 1992 at CSUSM,
organizing the first Associated Student Endowed Scholarship. Currently Molloy is a volunteer at the
International Festival and an Associated Student Council president.
And what does he see for himself
in the future? Molloy says maybe
the Peace Corps, maybe in the field
of migrant labor.
Service-learning is proud of the
accomplishments of everyone who
took the time to speak with us.
Achievements and the inner growth
attributed to volunteering marks
CSUSM as a campus with a heart.
As we read and reflect on each of
these profiles, a remarkable thing
comes to light, that "it's more rewarding to give than to receive." It
definitely appears that CSUSM has
lots of students who agree with
Robert Wortman's statement that
volunteering is a way to make the
world a better place.

Uaire Langham, Service-Learning Coordinator
�Profile of a CSUSM
Student Volunteer
By Claire K. Langham
Service-Learning Coordinator
"In my new start in life, volunteering
opened the doors to my career path as a
computer trainer and consultant," explained
Linda Amor, a senior in the College of Business Administration. "Volunteering directly
resulted in my current employment and has
provided immeasurable opportunities. The
directions at this point are unlimited for me"
she elaborated. "Absolutely no one makes it
alone in this world. Everyone at some time
needs help. Likewise, everyone has something to offer other people. It is for this
reason," she stated, "that everyone should be
willing to give as well as to receive support."
After living for several years in Hawaii,
Linda returned to San Diego in the fall of
1987 as a newly single parent of three young
children ages 1, 7, and 9. She had minimal
resources, four suitcases, and virtually no
computer experience. Determination and
vision are the "inner resources" that have
been key to Linda's survival and success.
It really all started because of Linda's own
need to improve her skills. She analyzed her
situation and decided that mastering computers would be the key to security and opportunities for herself and her family. Linda's
natural interests are in people, their warmth,
and the creativity found in the visual arts,
music, and writing. She also finds sciences
fascinating. However, computers were her
logical, rational decision for study.
Initially, to implement
her decision to develop
computer skills, Linda arranged to barter for the use
of a computer in exchange
for her services as a personal and business manager for an individual who
was living outside the US.
85% of the year. Naively,
Linda initially thought she
could learn the computer
within two months. She
had not realized the magnitude of her decision, nor
the academic journey that
lay ahead.
Photo/Claire Langham
Linda enrolled in a self-paced ROP (Regional Occupation Program) computer class
in Escondido. She taught herself Word Perfect and other programs. "Actually, I have to
admit to playing stupid in the lab so I would
not be rotated after learning the software
basics." Her goal was to master the entire
computer system. Apparently, Linda had a
hidden talent, but she was also driven. She
worked extremely long hours, 12 to 16 hours
a day at a computer studying or writing manuals. She was so unhappy with the existing
computer manuals, that she began writing
many of her own. Linda's mastery soon
exceeded opportunities through ROP, so she
expanded into other programs and began networking.
Linda encountered many others who were
experiencing the same frustration with lack
of good manuals or instruction. She began
helping others as a volunteer in small groups.
In the process, she discovered really early
that she had a great propensity to help other
people. Thus, as she was learning new skills,
she was teaching them to other people. This
lead to requests for her to give training lectures to a variety of businesses and special
interest groups. Through this exposure, she
was offered her first credentialed teaching
position in a computerized desktop publishing class for the San Diego Community College Adult Education Program. Ironically,
Linda had found an indirect means of expressing her interest in art through practical
computer applications.
Why is Linda a business major? Her decision to return to school was based on the need
to understand the principles of the computer
applications that she was teaching, and the
needs of the businesses being addressed. For
example, she was teaching spreadsheet applications and needed to understand basic accounting principles.
Volunteering continues to be important to
Linda. "I routinely offer my time and services to others. One of the most rewarding
experiences is when people I have helped
come back later and thank me for having
opened a door for them."

— U nknown
Beavis and Butthead—
True Americans
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
The United States Congress recently conducted high-profile hearings about the inordinate amount of violence on television.
Present at these hearings were executives
from all the major networks, gallantly confessing their evil ways and promising oodles
more family programming and far less of the
adult- oriented, sexually explicit, violent
shows that have made them all rich. Illinois
Senator Paul Simon, the lead crusader in the
Clean-Up-Television battle, seemed very encouraged at the network promises, presumably convinced that his actions were having
a significant effect on the moral character of
the entertainment industry.
Not long after the hearings, a small child
playing with fire was responsible for the
death of his little sister. The child's mother
blamed the death on overexposure to MTV's
animated Beavis and Butthead, a crass, vulgar series detailing the exploits of two teenage morons who gain great pleasure from,
among other things, setting various animals
on fire. There was a huge public outcry,
complete with veiled threats from various
elected officials, that immediately lead MTV
executives to discontinue the 7 PM showtime.
There is a disturbing trend taking shape
here. Politicians and community activists
hungry for publicity and in search of an easy
target have turned their sights on the entertainment industry. Indeed, it seems as if
every artistic medium has recently come under attack for in some way contributing to the
decline of Western Civilization. Conservative radio mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh has
been accused of-gaspl-bias in his daily political harangues and there has been talk
among elected officials of invoking something called the Fairness Doctrine that would
presumably f orce ideologues such as
Limbaugh to "balance" their tirades by representing different points of view. Rap and
Rock music now come complete with "Parental Advisory" stickers warning of foul
language or depictions of graphic sexuality.
The well-documented prosecution of rap
group Two Live Crew on obscenity charges
is an extreme example of the growing governmental willingness to cater to a vocal
minority of self-styled moralists bent on controlling the content of American art.
That's not to say that there aren't legitimate
crises of morality and values in American
society. Indeed, it takes only an occasional
viewing of not Beavis and Butthead but CNN
to see what a mess much of American society
has become. It is unfortunate, then, that
basically well-intentioned people waste valuable time barking about the actions of fictional characters instead of attempting to solve
the real problems of crime, illiteracy, poverty, drug abuse, AIDS, alcoholism and the
countless other ills that plague our society.
Art is now and always has been a reflection of life; television does not provoke behavior in otherwise innocent viewers who
had never before considered such mischief.
It is the purpose of all art to, in the words of
Shakespeare "hold a mirror up to life." We
have become a society obsessed with shouting at our own reflections, convinced that if
we can somehow change what we see on
television, we will change what we see on our
streets. That is a tragically misguided notion.
In fact, it is often what we see on television or
hear on the radio that opens our eyes to what
is happening on our streets. Art is an incredibly powerful force, and it is the power of art
to outrage, sadden or shock people into action
that serves as one of the strongest arguments
for a free and open society.
Certainly, young impressionable children
should not have open access to material obviously unsuited for juveniles. In that respect,
it was a responsible decision for MTV to
move potentially offensive material to a later
time slot. It is a sad comment on the state of
American parenting in general, however, that
corporate executives and elected officials are
forced to take on the position of a mother or
a father. The breakdown of family values is
a real problem not solved by cheap sermonizing or potshots at Murphy Brown that serve
only to further divide society. It is a problem
that goes far beyond what children are watching on TV, and until everybody realizes that,
little will be accomplished.
It is unfortunate that Beavis, Butthead and
Rush Limbaugh have become the primary
spokesmen for the First Amendmentrightsso
central to the continued functioning of our
republic. But let them raise their collective
voices loudly, triumphantly in defense of
freedom until every last potential censor is
too annoyed and offended to-continue his or
her efforts.

�Tim Hinchliff—
up c lose
By Debra K . Lane
Contributing Writer
There is currently a very special and
enlightening art exhibit on display at the
CSUSM library. Twenty-two "yarn paintings" by artist Tim Hinchliff and a poem with
each piece describing the meaning in that
creation. Each symbol in the paintings has a
specific message or purpose. Mother Earth is
shown in many of them. The symbol of
woman is depicted often as essential to the
life spirit of the earth, sky, and universe.
Tim Hinchliff is a native of San Diego
county . At the age of 14 years, Tim took a trip
to Mexico with his mother, a Cultural Anthropologist, and was introduced to Huichol
yarn art from Nayarit, Mexico.
DL: Even though we live in a high-tech
society that does not include hunting/gathering, do you see a relationship between ancient
beliefs about nature and our modern world?
TH: I see modern society as hunting
and gathering even today. W e are j ust look-
ing for different stuff to survive on. It may not
be corn or buffalo but the hunt for money
through careers etc. will have the same effect.
Eventually, it will be used tooput food on the
table and clothes on our backs.
DL: Can you tell us more about accompanying each piece in the library?
TH: I create sonnets as a love song that
I express f or a greater understanding of the art
presented. "Courting the Earth," the work I
am presenting at CSUSM this month is an
attempt to show others that we areallpart of an
original family indelibly tied with the earth
and its personality. I am a poet, and after a
painting is finished, I write about how I see
that painting and what it means to me.. Because I live with the painting while creating it,
writing about what I have created is a process
that gives me closure, as well as assisting the
public in understanding my work.
DL: How do you see yourself, past,
present, and future?
TH: I have been extremely fortunate to
have had a life that has allowed me to take the

been able to grow with my art and obtain an
understanding of the levity of what I am
creating. But I have also been fortunate to
have had the time to hang out in those avocado groves in Fallbrook and play with the
idea of art. I began by drawing, sketching and
writing poetry. I was encouraged by my
family and friends. And I was lucky enough
to have met a woman to share my life. I have
a home, love, children and a career. It really
is incredible luck.
Students create
multicultural quilts
Students in the two sections of
Education 390created two very beautiful multicultural quilts. The quilts
are being used as a class servicelearning project by collecting donations and giving the proceeds to three
local non-profit
organizations.
Proceeds from one class will go
to the Latino Boy Scout Troop 669 to
sponsor a wilderness camping experience focusing on self-esteem and a
science/ecology
component
The other proceeds will be used to
sponsor at least two students' participation in Leadership 2000 and to
assist in the efforts of a local senior
citizen playwright which serves to
eliminate myths and
stereotypes
about aging.
These students are "no nonsense"
when it comes to business and it was
decided that each student would seek
donations for $1 per ticket
Each
class is striving to raise at least $ 1000.
We would appreciate your support
and donations in this endeavor: The
quilts will be on display in Founders
Plaza for the next few days. I appreciate your support for the students
efforts and wish all participants
the
best of luck in the drawings to be held
Dec. 6 and Dec. 8.

�A Perfect World—not so perfect
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Mouie
Reuieiu
Kevin Costner achieved fame by playing
nice guys. Whether performing a little revisionist history by showing the world a softhearted Elliot Ness in The Untouchables or a
politically correct Union soldier in Dances
with Wolves, Costner has repeatedly epitomized the very 90s, very Hollywood aes-
thetic of the Sensitive White Male.
At first look, his new role as an escaped
convict in Clint Eastwood's A Perfect World
seems a bold step away from this cuddly
repertoire. Butch, as tBe Costner character is
called, is a cold-blooded murderer and kidnapper seemingly capable of any violent and
sadistic act. Upon further examination, however, Butch proves in many ways to be a
typical Costner character; a misunderstood,
ultimately kind-hearted product of a dysfunctional family—Robin Hood with a .38
and a pack of Lucky Strikes.
A Perfect World is a mess. A surprising
mess, considering the collective artistic talent assembled, but an ultimate disappointment nonetheless. Directed by Clint
Eastwood and co-starring Eastwood and Laura
Dern, this story of an escaped criminal who
inadvertently kidnaps a young Jehovah's
CSUSM's First Production
Frankly, to be Honest...
By L. Rene Fooks
Contributing Writer
Theatre is alive at CSUSM! Frankly,
to be honest.,, an Evening of Student
Generated Theater was directed by
Marcos Martinez, faculty member of the
Visual and Performing Arts department.
This, the first CSUSM student-based
production, was the resulfcof Theater Arts
499C-Production Workshop. The
production was student-generated theatre.
Just because the word "student" is used,
doesn't necessarily mean the quality is
low. Three performances were given last
month, November 6-8, and if you missed
them, too bad. It was well worth it. The
play was a series of monologues and short
scenes that depicted certain attitudes in
society regarding class, race, and gender
that perhaps some of us were not aware
of; or we have become so de-sensitized by
its occurrences that we ignore it. One
such idea was the monologue of an
overweight female who described how
valuable she was as a human being in
spite of her obesity, and how society has
set unwritten standards on women based
solely on their appearance. That was a
real eye-opener. As a male, I can honestly
say I have changed my pre-judging sexist
attitudes after hearing and seeing this
particular monologue. I even took the
'sorry no fat chicks' bumper sticker off my
car.
Another interesting scene showed a
method in which attitudes and ideas are
shaped. Like father, like son; you' ve heard
the cliche. This scene showed a bitter,
divorced man instilling aggressive,
demeaning ideas about women and their
true function (from his perspective), to his
teenage son, who has developed that same
pleasure-seeking, hateful attitude towards
his girlfriend.
I personally could not find any entertainment value in the profane language used.
They were not kidding when they advertised the program as not suitable for
children. I didn't get the impression that
the profane language was used to "boost
the ratings" but maybe to show us what
we've grown accustomed to in our everyday lives.
The theatre has a way of showing us who
we really are as individuals. If all the
world is a stage as one man wrote, and we
are the players, then the theatre is you as
well. Don't miss the next show!
Witness boy and is pursued across Texas by
a gruff ranger (Eastwood) and a psycho babbling beaurocrat (Dern) starts out fairly strong
but is quickly saddled with an annoying subplot and predictable dialogue and situations.
Costner summons up the proper menace in
the early scenes when breaking out of prison
and kidnapping the child. There is a strange,
unpredictable connection between Butch and
the boy that is balanced with strong tension;
the audience isn't sure where things are going, whether or not the criminal can be trusted
That tension is ruined soon enough, as we
discover that Butch was a product of a broken
home and has never killed anybody who
wasn't trying to harm someone he loved. We
find this out because Dern's character delivers a poorly written speech to a trailerful of
The
Texas rangers emphasizing the importance of
understanding the Why of criminal behavior,
not the What if you really want to catch your
man. It is the worst scene in the movie and
serves to almost single-handedly destroy all
possibilities of creativity or originality left in
the film. The entire Eastwood-Dern subplot,
in fact, serves as nothing more than an annoying distraction.
The film takes place in Texas a week
before President Kennedy was shot, and
Eastwood plays with some interesting symbolism about martyrdom and a loss of innocence. But nothing is fully developed, and by
the time the drawn out, predictable ending
comes, all the potential shown in the f ilm's
opening moments has been squandered. It is
unfortunate that such talent was wasted on
such a mediocre project.

�Sounds ofSANKOFA
SANKOFA is an AKAN name for
the mythical bird that constantly looks
back as it flies forward. The name
means 'Go and retrieve the past', and
to the AKAN people of Ghana, West
Africa, this behavior symbolizes the
need to develop a sense of continuity in
our everyday life by linking our present
and future to the past
The musical style of the group,
SANKOFA, succinctly represents the
concept expressed in the name. From a
socio-historical perspective, this group
traces the development of unique
musical expressions as the slaves
began to transform, adapt to and adopt
the diverse life-styles in which they
found themselves in the diaspora.
SANKOFA represents a unique blend
of the music of South, Central and
North America as well as the music of
the Caribbean as reshaped by the
dynamics of slavery and other forms of
cultural diffusion andacculturative
processes.
In SANKOFA, one could easily
identify the characteristics of Jazz*
Reggae, Funk, Calypso, Salsa, Blues,
Gospel, Spiritual, Traditional and
Contemporary African music, Country
and Western, Samba and the Classical
tradition, all of which are fused together to underscore the homogeneity
of the sources of acculturative processes that have guided the changes
through the years. The ever-present
polyrhythmic and complex melodic
structures, the call-and-response vocal
styles, the functionalism of the music
and all other attributes that have stood
the test of time are the basis of the
SANKOFA style.
This group is a capsule of the
reactions that current socio-political,
and historical transformations
throughout the world are generating.
World music has been melded by
Photos of Sankofa/Carlos
Mariscal
advancements in technology while
exclusiveness of remote cultures has
become a thing of the past.
The members of this amazing
group include a well-selected cadre of
musicians who have been dedicated to
the various representative styles. They
include Jim Storey, guitar; Gunnar
Biggs, bass; Brad Steinwehe, trumpet;
David Murray, trombone; Jason
Hahn, drums and percussion; Roy
Gonzalez, timbales and percussion;
Eyi Omaraji, percussion, vocals and
dance and Komla Amoaku, congas,
percussion and lead vocals. Dr.
Amoaku is also a Professor of
Ethnomusicology at CSUSM. The
ensemble sometimes includes traditional African dancers: Gelsamina
Merritt, Shoshanna Cordes and
Chantale Damas.
CSUSM sees the world increasingly
becoming a global village, and wishes
that this be expressed in its art and
cultural programs. SANKOFA is the
institution's demonstration of its
perception of the 21st century.
SANKOFA will be performing on
Thursday, Dec. 9 at 12 Noon at the
Commons Stage.

Staff Writer
A campus writing center usually reflects
aplace where remedial writers work through their
writing problems, but the CSUSM Writing Center provides a friendly environment that serves a
hub for the All University Writing Requirement
Project. The tutor corps of the Writing Center is
a skilled group of students whose foundation in
writing theory and practices comes from English
494 (Theory and Practice of College Writing).
The tutors aim to foster quality academic writing
from the painless perspective of a good friend
who is interested in advancing meaningful analysis. Students at any phase of an assignment are
encouraged to come to the Writing Center.
How do you use the Writing Center?
The tutorial staff of the Center recognizes that
writing is always a messy business—writing never
advances in clean, concise, well-rounded or logical steps. Academic writing involves a process of
false starts, misdirections, confusion, and many
times frustration. The tutor offers another set of
eyes to assist writers while they navigate their
"writerly" course to meaning. The phases of
writing: brain-storming, editing, revision or final
draft inspection are all part of the tutorial s taffs
field of experience.
Who uses the Writing Center? During
the 1992-1993 academic year, the Writing Center
DISPLAY
ADVERTISING
conducted over 1,334 individual writing conferences. The heaviest student populations
came from Liberal Studies, English, and Business Management/Accounting majors, each
accounting for approximately 20% of the
students utilizing the Center. The significant
population of English majors reflects the attitude that even those who may perceive
themselves as being skilled writers recognize
the need for revision and recognize potential
profits of a trip to the Center. The notion that
only students with serious writing problems
avail themselves of this service was dispelled
by discovering that the average GPA of students using the Center was 3.25. This statistic
indicates successful students at CSUSM use
the Center to enhance their writing and produce high caliber papers.
The tutors at the Writing Center
want to assist all students who wish to improve and advance their writing skills. Center tutors are involved in an educational dynamic which provides them an exceptional
teaching experience with other students. The
tutors, by helping others, will in turn improve
their own writing skills.

Looking for Adventure?
Looking for adventures in
your life? For fun? For an opportunity to prove to yourself
that you can make a difference in
this world?
All of these needs are answered when you become an
Adventure Team Leader with
Los Caballeros de Aventura, an
non-profit organization whose
mission it is to divert at-risk youth
away from gangs and gang activity.
They do this by scheduling a
continual series of high adventures such as hiking, camping,
fishing, scuba diving, mountain
climbing, and many, many other
activities. With this type of program, Los Caballeros has become part of a successful community effort to reduce drive-by
shootings in Escondido by 54%
in the past year.
Los Caballeros is looking for
young adults for the Adventures
themselves as well as to work in
the elementary, middle, and
high school classrooms, and/
or in the home outreach program. Great leadership training is provided and participation results in great companionship and great new friendships. Most of all volunteers
will receive a great sense of
accomplishment. Opportunities exist in both Escondido
and San Marcos. If you are
interested, call Lyle Davis at
739-8209.

we use. Mr. George Carlson, Director of
Facility Services, will monitor the performance of the new contractor. Please let Mr.
Carlson know (at 752-4600) of any comments you have.
4. Are we moving away from the
Mission Statement: there were questions
about whether multiculturalism, writing in
all courses and the role of a second language.
The second language discussion has its roots
in both the international emphasis and in the
acquisition of an understanding of another
culture. The students suggested another University Mission Statement Day (UMSD) type
activity which deals specifically with these
issues. We will talk with the student and
faculty leadership about another UMSD to
see if there is interest in pursuing this event.
5. How will we communicate the
discussions of this Forum to the University
Community and especially the students?
Through the PRIDE is one way (and the
reason for this article).
6. What is the policy on students
getting e mail accounts and to whom should
we go to get accounts? When a student
wants an e-mail account, they should contact
Teresa Macklin in Computing Services (7524787). She will then set them up with their
own e-mail account.
7. What can be done about increasing student participation in campus events?
Attending students complained about the
posting policy and the lack of available space
in very public areas for posting. We will need
to revisit this issue this semester. I would
suggest a draft by Associated Students after
discussions with Sandy Kuchler, Associate
Dean of Student Affairs and Bridget BaileyMeier, Director Student Activities and Alumni
Services
8. There is not enough time between
Final Exams and there can be too many in
one day. The finals schedule is set, as a
policy matter, by committee. I will ask Ms.
Eugenia Villamarin to review the situation
and check into the number of conflicts or
multiple exams in one day which are in the
fall schedule. . To extend the final exam
schedule to five or more days from four
would require action on the part of Academic

Senate. If you have any comments about the
final exam schedule, please contact Ms.
Villamarin at752-4326. Remember that once
the exam is over, the faculty member's work
on thefinalstarts. The earlier that the exams
are finished, the faster they can be graded.
9. Why aren't parking regulations
changed for weekends? Why can't students park in the "upper lots" on Saturday, Sunday and after 5 pm on weekdays?
Per Mr. Arnold Trujillo, Director of Public
Safety, students with a current semester parking permit are allowed to park in the faculty/
staff parking lot on Saturdays and Sundays.
Effective immediately (see related article elsewhere in this issue of The Pride), evening
students currently enrolled at CSUSM who
hold a current semester parking permit may
exchange that permit for a Special "PM"
Parking Permit at Public Safety Services in
the University Services Building. The Special "PM" Parking Permit allows students to
park in the faculty/staff parking lot after 5 PM
and in the student parking lots any time.
There is no charge for the permit exchange.
Enrollment in evening classes will be verified before a "PM" Parking Permit is issued.
Public Safety business hours are Monday
through Friday, 8 AM to 10 PM.
10. When will athletics come and
will it change the academic climate around
here? At present, especially in light of the
budget difficulties there is no motion towards
intercollegiate athletics. We will be moving
toward recreational sports (and hope to have
some on campus) in the near future. There
has been talk of beach volleyball, some informal soccerfieldsand so on but there is are no
formal plans yet.
11. There is difficulty with the writing requirement as there are many ways to
write formally and students get confused
between the styles of MLA, APA, and that
which the College of Business Administration wants. I will bring this issue up to the
deans of the College and to Dr. Ken Mendoza
who is director of the Writing Center. If
anyone has specific comments about the writing requirement, please call Richard Molloy
(752-4900), Dr. Mendoza (752-4076) or Richard Millman (752-4050) so that we can
include them into the discussions. Once we
understand all of the issues, we will bring
them to the appropriate faculty groups for
policy decisions.

�GHANA
TRIP
Contemplated
for '94-95
Have you ever really envisioned yourself as a guest in a village in Ghana, not just
watching but participating in traditional
dances? Do you have any curiousity about
West African political systems or how computers fit into plans of a developing country?
In January 1993, a group of 13 CSU
San Marcos students, faculty and related community members answered some of these
questions for themselves in a three-week visit
to Ghana. Initial meetings to organize a
similar trip for December 1994-January 1995
are currently being held by the Ghana Project,
a campus organization established by previous Ghana exchange participants and other
interested people.
Whether you are serious or curious,
whether your interest is Africa or Mexico,
whether you are an experienced world traveler or have never made it beyond Poway,
you are encouraged to learn more about this
extraordinaiy opportunity. If you were not
able to attend Professor Jennie Spencer
Green's presentation on Nov. 18, more information about the Ghana Trip and the Ghana
Project can be obtained at the Peer Advising
Center in Arts and Sciences or in the campus
Student Activities Office.

In-Course Honors work at CSUSM is
designed to serve academically motivated
undergraduate students, who desire to meet
and feel prepared to meet expanded intellectual demands, and who are committed
to the highest standards of rigorous academic performance. In-Course Honors

in In-Course Honors work at any stage of
their academic career by pursuing an Honors contract in any currently scheduled
course taught by a permanent faculty member. Any student, regardless of test scores
and grade point average, may decide that a
particular course, in any semester, provides the opportunity to apply for Honors '
participation. A preliminary list of preapproved courses in which Honors contracts are encouraged appears in the Class
Schedule each semester. The Honors contract enables students to participate in the
regular class while doing additional Honors work. The interested student should
contactthepermanentfaculty member who
will teach the course in order to develop
jointly an Honors contract. Alternatively,
students interested. in a specific course
listed in the current Class Schedule and
taught by a permanent faculty member
may contact the Director of the University
Honors Program in 6227 Craven Hall.
Recognition of successful completion of each
in-Course Honors contract is made on the
student's official transcript and on the
student's semester grade report,

This seminar is the capstone course, the culm i na tion of an academically challenging and
rewarding Honors experience, shared by all

volunteering experiences" to " I've always
wanted to volunteer but haven't had time yet
- but when I do, I would like t o . . . " and they
continued by describing the type of involvement they would most enjoy.
These volunteering experiences and desires were gathered in interviews on the spot
or written by students on a short questionnaire. Information about CSUSM's students' past, present and future (desired)
volunteer activities, reflections and comments were gathered by some of the students, staff, and faculty serving on the Outreach Service-Learning Sub-Committee, as
well as some of the Circle K members.
November 8th was the first day of "Service
Week" for this club that is dedicated to
serving the community.
Students' experiences on volunteering
provide information so that these endeavors
can be recognized and shared with others.
Sharen Wahl, a Liberal Studies major, stated
that, "Volunteering is a great way to explore
the working/career world while one is at the
decision-making stage. It provides the opportunity to experience without full commitment." Sharen had first volunteered in a
veterinary hospital which led to later volunteer work for Project Wildlife. More recently, she had volunteered in a 5th grade
class, and now in the 4th grade as part of the
requirements for ED 350. During the past
two years she has been a Liberal Studies Peer
Advisor volunteer here on campus. Sharen,
like many others, balances her commitments
while prioritizing school studies and family
obligations. Many commented that volunteering was rewarding and fulfilling. Naomi
Fink, aLiberal Studies major from Temecula,
commented, "Little things that happen make
volunteering all worth it. I love to help
people and volunteering allows you to meet
a lot of special people also. There's so many
benefits to volunteering that won't all fit
here." Naomi promises to share a nonfiction story she wrote about her experiences
in a future issue.

THE PRIDE/ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1993
"For Colored
Girls Who Have
Considered
Suicide When
the Rainbow is
Enuf"
By P eter Gorwin
Critic-At-Large
Ntozake Shange wrote "For
Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is
E nuf' in the early 70's, but the play
still resonates. The playwright has
strung together a series of character
monologues with a thread of female
consciousness running through
them all, an ode to the alienation of
black women in America. Herjazzbased prose style reminds us of such
writers as Xam Wilson Cartier and
Ralph Ellison; her characters deliver their many colored break-away
riffs directly to the audience like
flute, violin, or even tenor sax solos. Shange simply names her players the Lady in Yellow, Lady in
Purple, Lady in Red, Lady in Orange, Lady in Green, Lady in Blue,
and Lady in Brown—seven characters in search of their true identities
as mothers, wives, lovers or daughters, spanning various levels of the
American social class structure.
The play's director, Arajeje, has
adroitly guided the entire company
of actresses into unselfish performances with an approach which has
almost entirely eliminated the selfconsciousness and stiffness usually
witnessed in amateur productions.
All of the actresses adequately take
stage when their moment to shine
comes; some sing their songs energetically and bravely, while others
sing their songs more modestly.
Nonetheless, every actress performs
like a natural woman: Dilcie D.
Perez, Lady in Blue, distinguishes
herself by speaking Shange's prose
with great confidence, truth and
passion; DorindaMcCombs,Lady
in Green, understands what it takes
to make Shange come alive, openly
playing her monologues with a
city-smart abandonment; Denise
Hollis, Lady in Orange, brings a
straightforward, blues thing to her
stories; Karen Walker, Lady in
Brown, holds her own as the most
experienced actress in the company; Ramona De Sanchez, Lady
in Purple, brings a quiet, sexy,
sophistication to her performance;
Tricia Henlon, Lady in Red, demonstrates enormous inner life,
economy and intensity for a young
actress; and Deborah Davis, Lady
in Yellow, says her words with
great truth, simplicity and honesty.
This labor of love transcends
the dimly lit, sadly inadequate confines of what passes for a theater in
ACD 102. Wisely, the set and
costumes were kept simple, focusing the audiences attention on the
high degree of naturalness and, for
the most part, energy that these
women bring to the stage, again,
highly unusual for beginning actresses. Frank Bailey-Meier's
original funky, blues-based music
contributed just the right back-

REVIEW
ground for the actresses to play off
of, blending nicely with the sound
and movement that the company
has brought to Shange's words.
Bridget Bailey-Meier is to be
commended for her vision in getting this production presented, exactly the kind of grass-roots, cultural events which should be encouraged and nurtured here on campus. I t's regrettable that this production ran for only two performances. It would be great if it could
be resurrected at some point so that
more students might have the opportunity to appreciate it.

SOUTH MARKET STREET
JAZZ BAND AT CSUSM
Exciting Dixieland jazz, laughter,
and good times abound when the South
Market Street Jazz Band performs.
Full-time, professional musicians, the
SMSJB features hot soloists, great
showmanship and stylistic versatility.
Almost everyone in the band plays
more than one instrument, allowing the
SMSJB to cover the gamut from
traditional to swing to modern.
For more than 25 years, the band
members have combined their worldclass playing at shows and festivals
across the country, with performances
with big name entertainment such as
Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Sarah
Vaughn, and others.
The South Market Street Jazz
Band will perform at CSUSM on
Sunday, Nov. 21 at 3 PM in Academic
Hall Room 102. Ticket prices are
$3.00 for CSUSM students and $5.00
for General Admission. Tickets may
be purchased at the CSUSM bookstore
or by phone (752-4730). For more
information about the South Market
Street Jazz Band, call the Arts and
Lectures office at 752-4945.
A CSUSM Quilt?
A University seal, a University mascot—OK! But a University quilt? "Why
not," said a group of students, faculty and
staff who were part of the first years of
CSUSM.
Quilts are traditional ways to record
important events. Quilts are also traditional
ways to build friendships and a sense of
community. For all these reasons, plus a
desire to break the routine of hard work which
goes with building a new university, the Quilting Bees came together in the summer of
1992 to design a signature quilt to memorialize the first two years at CSUSM.
In choosing a design, the quilters looked
for a simple pattern which would incorporate
a wide variety of donated fabric. They decided on Roman Square which allowed them
to include a white "signature block" in each
of the squares.
Signatures for the quilt were solicited
in Founders Plaza on a hot October day. For
a $2 donation, anyone could sign. $300 was
collected for donation to the Carol Cox Scholarship for re-entry students. Now the quilt
top sits in a frame about half quilted.
Beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 23, the
Quilting Bees will display the quilt in the
Dome, demonstrate quilting techniques and
share quilting stories. The quilters hope to
finish this project soon so they can start on
another. Experienced or not, everyone is
invited to participate. If Tuesday is not your
day but you are still interested in quilting, see
Pat Worden or Leslie Zomalt in the College
of Arts and Sciences for further information.

American's right to choose to embrace the

�Letters to the Editor
Alcohol Policy is An
Interim Policy
Dear Editor:
In your recent article entitled "Campus
Alcohol Policy" which appeared on November 5, the Associated Students Council
felt that one important item was treated
negligibly. The A.S. would like to stress to
all students that the alcohol policy in place
at the present time is an interim policy.
Until the policy is approved by both the
Associated Students and Academic Senate,
it will not have permanence. However,
once the policy is voted upon and approved
it will be difficult to change or replace.
This fact remains important since at
present, the policy remains a temporary one
and as such is still open to input and change
from all students, faculty and staff. If you
have any questions, comments, or recommendations regarding the policy, the Associated Students urges you t o make your
voice heard as soon as possible by calling
the Associated Students' o ffice at752-4990,
or by stopping in at Commons 205. Once
this policy is in place it will be extremely
burdensome to change. Please do not wait
until it is too late to be heard.

�"Within this Garden"
photographs of Ruth Thome-Thornsen
By Peter Gorwin
Critic-At-Large
The Museum of Photographic Art has
Opened its new show with the exhibitions of two
photographers who share more than their gender; both women possess a love of subjects
ancient and mysterious. I found their work so
compelling that I decided to review them separately. In the last issue, I concentrated on the
work of Linda Connor. In this issue I discuss
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen's fantastical exhibition,
"Within this Garden."
Thomsen builds her images around themes
from historical eras, movements in literature,
and mythology. By blending separate images
normally linked to diverse times and places, she
achieves what may best be described as New
Age Surrealism: her photos effectively transcend time and space, capturing dream states
neither from the past, the present, nor the future,
but somewhere we can not exactly identify. Her
romantic, avant-garde images pay homage to
such painters as Dali and Magrite but possess
enough originality to stand on their own.
Thomsen stimulates our imaginations by using
symbol, metaphor and irony ; the veiy existence
jofthis cutting edge work shoots down unimaginative critics who have suggested that photography has limitations as a viable and versatile
artistic medium.
Thomsen rejects the conventional camera,
resorting to a pinhole camera which may be
constructed out of any light-tight chamber simply by drilling a minute hole in the front of it. By
^creating a camera out of something as simple as
cal treat on many levels.
The extreme depth-of-field produced by the
tiny pin hole create optical illusions related to
object sizes from the foreground to the background of the image. Playing with this allows
Thomsen to create some of her paradoxes and
ironies. For example, sometimes a person standing in the background seems dwarfed by a seemingly huge object in the foreground, actually a
small facsimile of a classical statue, pyramid, or
monolith. In using these simple techniques,
Thomsen make sophisticated statements about
our preconceptions and expectations of what we
expect from an image made by a camera—
usually a safe and conventional reaffirmation of
our own lies and myths. She cleverly uses her
camera to make these didactic images which
challenge our images of the truth, thereby making us question those safe realities which we
cling to. Thomsen clearly shows us that the
camera lies, and that it allows us to use it as both
a rhetorical and artistic medium. In this regard,
she also makes a Clear philosophical allusion to
the skepticism created when discoveries and
events challenge our perception of the truth, an
homage to the atmosphere which has spawned
past golden ages.
a shoe box or an empty cylindrical oat
meal box, Thomsen creates a metaphor
for her own images. Her work is a true
paradox—photographs which are dif-
ferent from the way we usually think
of them, made by art unconventional camera. This makes her entire exhibit a phenomenal, whimsi-
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen now has a book of her
adventurous work which may be purchased at

�CHASQUISUSM
Andean Music Lives at C
CHASQUI is one of two artist-in-residence ensemble groups proudly supported by CSUSM as
part of its Global Arts Program. The group was
formed by Don Funes, a visual and performing arts
professor; composer, conductor; recording engineer; chamber and orchestral performer, musicologist and ethnomusicologist.
Funes received his
doctorate in musical arts from the University of
Oregon. Dr. Funes1 interest in music and culture led
him to conduct and intensive study of Andean
music. He began in 1986, and in 1991 received an
NEH Fellowship to study Latin American music and
culture.
CHASQUI plays music from the Andean region
of South America on over 20 different instruments
unique to the peoples of this area. The guitar is the
only European instrument that the ensemble uses.
Although they favor the music of Bolivia and Peru,
they also play music from Ecuador; Chile and Argentina, the countries that were part of the Inca
Empire. They also sing in Spanish and Quecha.
CHASQUI features Dr. Don Funes, Fermin
Sanchez and Eduardo Garcia (originally from
Mexico), Raul Ay lion from Bolivia and Gunnar Biggs.
The group is dedicated to bringing appreciation of
Andean music and culture to America. You can
hear CHASQUI perform Wednesday, December 1,
at 12 Noon, in ACD 102.

THE PRIDE/ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1993
Seeing Red
By Sarah Spaid
A red dress ignites the fantasies of men.
The other red dress lands you your new
job. Sports cars speed through the night.
Flashy, heated moments stir powerful
emotions. The power you feel when you
attend a board meeting in red socks.
Reflections of light glistening as the sun
sets beyond the horizon. A Porsche speeds
through Malibu, leaving a mere red trace.
Illicit remarks painted on slashed canvas.
Soft spoken words on steamy phone lines.
Red chiffon scarves and straw hats worn
opening day at the races. Heated passions
engorge the imagination when lipstick
smoothes warm, wet lips. Pursed red lips
leave no room for kissing. The mark a
woman leaves on a m an's face. The mark
mother leaves on her litde angel. A hint of
suspicion—smeared red lipstick all over
her face. Consequently, days later, lipstick
found on his collar.
Strawberry creams atop a torte. Strawberry shortcake, a freckled-face doll. Juicy
red raspberries, awaiting their digestion in
the pit of a red-walled stomach. Fornication at night; sex in the day; a quick frolic
in the hay? Ruby red grapefruit, cherries
the color of blood. Childhood memories of
that bicycle spill, an open wound, and that
gash in your knee, your father in a rage.
Bloodshot eyes, suspicions arise. Drunkards, d ruggies... lover's quarrels, heated
discussions, Othello's rage of jealousy.
Lucille Ball. Red heads. Charred
remains of smoldering pains brand memories in our heads. Red roses brought on a
warm summer n ight Red roses flung with
all her might. A bloody fingers erupts from
the broken vase. A scorpion sting when
influenced by fiery mars. Cardinals with
red feathers at r est Power and austerity
emerge as his red wings start in flight, like
an English army clad in red, ready to fight

he daydreams of her eating i t The power
he feels when he receives an "A."
Hemoglobin, red blood cells. Blood
clots. Red wine devoured at dusk. Dracula
dripping with tonight's dessert. A library
tailored in dark, rich wood, filled with
lingering cigar smoke, and the smoking
jacket for tonight's entanglements.
Red flags represent Russian revolution,
Chinese communism. Oppression equates
bloodshed. Red, white and blue mean
freedom for me and you. Red signifies
death to the Crips, and life for the Bloods.
Evoking violence, betrayal of life, and
death to the innocent, red portrays bleak
pictures in the neighborhood, el barrio, as
the Mexican, Chicanos, and Latinos say.
Redrum, murder. Maraschino cherries full
of infamous red dye #5. RedM&Ms
disappear and reappear. Cancer-causing
agents disappoint unwitting children. Santa
Claus brings happy thoughts and stockings
stuffed with lollipops. Red ribbons, red
bows, merry Christmas with the fire aglow.
Firemen to the rescue. Heroes of
children, saviors of us all. Sirens shouting,
alarms alerting us to get out of the way of
the help on its way. Fire hydrants. Fire
dogs—Dalmatians with red collars. Brake
lights, traffic jams, stop signs. Inevitable
red lights flash when late and in a rush.
Congestion. Confusions. Frustration. In
cartoons, heads turn red, and release steam
via blood-filled ears. We go straight down
in a blaze of glory. Conversely, we go up
to the flashy red lights of heaven, or the
deepest pits of hell, depending on our own
subjective views.
Red bricks provide meals for bricklayers,
and shelter for their families. Red roofs
insulate tiled homes and furnish the Baja
Coast with aesthetic delights. Roll out the
red carpet; the queen arrives today.
Observing her royal red throne, we all
obey.
