With
From
gas-guzzling
SUV's to penny-pinching
economy cars, CSU San
Marcos students journey
from far off places in an
attempt to receive their
college education. Many
mothers, fathers, sons and
daughters struggle to get
to campus in hopes that
their education will one
day increase their status
on the economic ladder.
With this in view, many
students have wondered
why San Marcos doesn't
have a vanpool for students.
Unethical

A large sample of the
academic leaders in the
community of Cal State
San Marcos were asked
what social issue they care
about most. The following are the responses of

reply.

Pride Staff Writer
In March 2003, the California State
Auditor: Bureau of State Audits, released
an audit report on the California State University system's procurement of Common
Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft).
Among the findings of the report are
potential conflicts-of-interest and criminal
activities, security issues that could possibly lead to the electronic identity theft
of CSU staff, faculty and students, as well
as an inappropriate handling of funds that
may have negative effects on the CSUSM
students and faculty.
"I am most concerned
about the narrow focus on
the individual - to the detriment of the community - in
the United States these
days. Too many people
who enjoy the benefits
of living in the US — the
standard and quality of
living, the civil liberties,
the wide open opportunities - appear to be interested only in getting more
for themselves, without
recognizing that in doing
so, they may be depriving others in this country
- and certainly many folks
in other countries - of
access to the fundamental
needs for survival We do
not \get it' that our lives
are inextricably linked
to the lives of people in
virtually every country in
the world - we need them
as much as they need us
(it's called complex interdependence) - and we
should be civil and considerate of their needs"
-Vicki L. Golich, Department of Political Science
Conflict of Interest
The report, initiated last spring by State
Senator Richard Alarcon (D-Campbell)
and State Assembly member Manny Diaz
(D-San Jose) at the request of the California
Faculty Association (CFA), asserts that the
CSU "did not do enough to prevent conflicts
of interest by decision makers for CMSrelated procurements." The report states
that the lack of effort to prevent conflicts of
interest resulted in two CSU system senior
executives, involved with the decision
making process in acquiring technological
supplies and services for the entire CSU
system, engaging in potentially unethical
behavior, some of which is unlawful.
ees to disclose their personal assets and
income. According to the report, the CSU
system and some CMS management personnel did not disclose their personal information, casting a duplicitous shadow over
the relationship between CMS and the CSU
system. California State Auditor Elaine
Howie, discovered that two CSU system
executives in particular engaged in incompatible activities as defined by the Fair
Political Practices Commission (FPPC)'s
eight-step analysis to determine whether an
individual has a conflict of interest under
the Political Reform Act of 1974.
According to the eight-step analysis, any
public official, including all employees of
the CSU system, may not make, participate
in making, use or attempt to use their position in order to influence a government
decision, such as the procurement of CMS/
PeopleSoft, in which "they know, or have
reason to know, that the decision will have
a reasonably foreseeable material, financial
effect on their economic interests."
One senior executive, Vice-Chancellor
David Ernst, who participated in the CMS
procurement, which occurred in April of
1997, received income and compensation
from CMS of up to $11,000 per month from
years 1996 through 1998 for facilitating
meetings prior to the procurement, and for
consultation fees after the procurement.

Many of the surrounding universities - UC
Riverside, UC Irvine, UC
San Diego and CSU San
Bernadino - have put
together vanpools that
cater to students who live
in distant cities. Vanpools

times allowing students
to get to class early and
leave as late as 5 or 6 p.m.
Although none of the university vanpools are f ree

they provide students with
economical and practical
alternative methods of
transportation.
A high percentage of
CSU San Marcos students
are commuters. Traveling
from as far as Temecula
and Costa Mesa, Chula
Vista and San Ysidro can
be a strenuous process.
Sociology senior Shana
Lewis said, "It is an atrocity that CSU San Marcos
doesn't have a vanpool.
They probably aren't
doing it because it would
affect parking sales."
Liberal Studies major and
Temecula resident Matt

Pride Staff Writer
What Students Are Saying
After years of hard work,
stress, and mind throbbing yet
gratifying accomplishments,
many graduating
seniors
are required one last tedious
duty: the graduation portfolio.
Faculty and students have
different opinions; both are
left with the same question
regarding how both the
administration's expectations
for the portfolio, as well as the
expectations of students, can
be successfully achieVed.
The graduate portfolio
is required for six different
majors at CSUSM, including
the multiple subject, liberal
arts, and single subject waiver
program in social science,
history, literature and writing
studies. (LTWR), math, and
science. These are the degrees
a student would obtain if s/he
chooses to apply to a credential
program. A portfolio consists of
four original papers, complete
with faculty comments from
various semesters throughout
CSUSM studies, as well as a
3-4-page reflection for each
of the four entries. The final
bound product is required to
be turned in no less then one
month before graduation.
A flurry of chit-chat
regarding this portfolio can be
heard in many upper division
classes on campus. These are
the voices of angry seniors
who feel that the portfolio
requirement is just one more
set of hoops they must jump
through in order to satisfy the
administration. Many feel that
they were not warned about
the graduation portfolio, and
therefore had not felt the need
to save their original papers.
LTWR senior Nichole Jester
said, "I just found out about
them last semester and have
not saved nearly enough work
to represent my true challenges
and intellect. Liberal studies
major Gail Tarantino shares
this concern as she "found out
about the portfolio by word
of mouth and by the liberal
Studies blue sheet." Tarantino
says that not once had any
counselor or advisor mentioned
it to her.
The lack of communication
between the faculty portfolio
advisors and the students does
not stop there; students are also
expressing their frustration
with its overall effectiveness.

The X-men sequel is one of the best
adventure movies of recent years, better
than the first, if not quite as much fun as
last years' Spiderman. As an action movie,
it delivers the requisite effects and action
sequences, which are very impressive. Fine
acting and attention to character make the
movie unique and more memorable than
most comic book movies. The characters
are all greatly expanded from both their
comic counterparts and the first movie,
actually giving an emotional feeling to
the action. It is definitely worth seeing, but
possibly a little confusing to non-fans.
While the first movie suffered from
a pretty threadbare plot, this one may
have a little too much. The film does an
outstanding job of juggling the several
storylines, even managing to tie them all
together in a logical way. However, there
are an awful lot of characters here- nearly
everyone from the first movie returns, and
every one of them evolves in some way.
There are also several new characters,
whom are also given an awful lot of plot
and character burden. The best moments
are of character interaction. Unfortunately,
these moments are too often lost in the big
action set pieces.

every returning character improves. On
a particular note, the X-women- Berry,

Among the new actors, Cummings has a

was pretty annoying, though.
The special effects and set pieces don't
disappoint. From the opening scene of
Nightcrawler attacking the White House
to the duel between Wolverine and the
similarly clawed Yuriko, the action is
exciting and very well directed. The
mutant's powers look realistic most of
the time. The familiar settings that the
mutants move through make their powers
both unreal and strangely believable.

John D. MacDonald's
"Travis McGee" Series Is Still A Landmark in Popular Fiction
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
In 1964 author John D. MacDonald
brought one of fiction's most imposing
characters into existence. MacDonald's
"Travis McGee" to this day represents
perhaps the most interesting and compelling character to inhabit the world of
paperbacks.
McGee first makes his appearance in
MacDonald's "The Deep Blue Goodbye."
MacDonald describes his creation as,
"That big loose-jointed boat bum, that
slayer of small savage fish, that beachwalker, gin-drinker, quip-maker-that man
named Travis McGee." Throughout the
Travis McGee series MacDonald does
a wonderful job with his descriptions of
McGee as well as the other characters and
situations that populate McGee's world.

a cross between Jack London and Hugh
Heffner.
The novels themselves are fast-paced
and compelling. John D. MacDonald
brought a wealth of experience to the
Travis McGee series, having been a writer
of suspense and science fiction for many
years. MacDonald had earned his chops
in both the short story and novel mediums, and it shows. His writing is tight and
economical and he can bring startling plot
twists seemingly out of nowhere without
the appearance of their being forced or
contrived. During and immediately after
WWII MacDonald served as an officer in
the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) the
precursor agency to the CIA. This may be
the source of the detail and realism that
pervades the "Travis McGee" series.
The "Travis McGee" series is a classic
in the detective novel genre and proof that
the late John D. MacDonald was one of the
twentieth century's master novelists.

an oppressive regime is to control there is, in fact, a right or wrong
answer) to social engineering?
Jorge Riquelme, a Liberal Studies
Department teacher at CSUSM
said, "Unfortunately, much of
the emphasis in education reform
efforts is narrowly placed in
improving schooling practices (e.g.,
instruction and curriculum) and not
in addressing simultaneously the
social context of education (e.g.,
poverty and exclusion)." I disagree.
Unfortunately, not enough emphasis is placed on the educational
fundamentals of instruction and
curriculum. Too much emphasis is
placed on tolerance, diversity, and
a host of other social and political
issues which become irrelevant in a
society that can't read, write, add,
or think critically.
Comments like Mr. Riquelme's
cause me to despair for this generation of high school and college
students. They are becoming less
and less qualified to compete in
the world because they have been
shortchanged in their education.
The teachers and professors who
love learning and teaching are
leaving the public school system.
They'll make less money in the private school system, but they will be

students who want to be there, and
be paid by parents who appreciate
their talents.
The disintegration of the grounds,
the poor planning displayed by the
administration in where l o hold
which class, the lack of interest
in what the students need, and the
devaluation of the diploma, indicate
a deep chasm in the academic ideology of CSUSM. Without a strong
teaching staff, respect for students'
time and money, and a newspaper
that is free to print whatever is
news, diversity and social issues
are moot. It's too bad we can't all
just take a semester off, and let the
administration deal with that cash

The War Debate
Strong Emotions in a
Sensitive Time
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
The College Republicans
and Progressive Activist
Network (PAN) hosted the
War Debate
Wednesday
at the Mezzanine Plaza
in a collaboration that is
considered rare because of
their differing ideologies. The
debate was held to discuss the
different aspects of the war,
f rom both a conservative and
a liberal perspective.
The event was mediated
by each of the College
Republicans
and PAN
presidents, Sean Mattingly and
Manal Yamout respectively.
Each organization supplied
one speaker to debate the
war. Shawn Steel, a lawyer
and former chairman of the
California Republican Party
represented the sentiments
of the College Republicans.
Sean Bell, veterans advocate
and vice president of the San
Diego Veterans for Peace,
chapter 91, spoke on the behalf
of PAN. Bell is also a former
marine who served actively
in 1990-1994, including time
in Iraq.
shouting and name-calling
at both speakers. Steel
commented that the protestors
had a "complete separation
from reality" and a "hatred
of America." Several students
yelled back "Who hates
America?" In response to the
question, "Why has this war
inspired the biggest anti-war
movement?" Steel responded
that is was not anti-war but
"pro-tyranny." A student
yelled that the debate was
a "travesty, [that] students
should be speaking, [and
that] there [was] too much
control."
Both Mattingly and Yamout
repeatedly asked the audience
to be respectful, but it was
often out of their control.
The speakers did not always
disagree. Bell commented
on anti-war speeches given
by former Presidents James
Madison
and
Dwight
Eisenhower, to which Steel
conceded that they were
appropriate
references.
They also agreed that
questioning the government
was not anti-patriotic. Bell
said that a "government
left unquestioned is not a

Pride Staff Writer
During the 1930's, Nazis burned
the works of famous intellectuals in
an attempt to keep their words and
thoughts from corrupting the citizenry.
It has been 70 years since this infamous
book-burning, but book burnings still
occur in this country on rare occasions,
one of the most recent taking place in
January of 2002 when the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New
Mexico, burned Harry Potter books and
some of Shakespeare's works, claiming
that they were "satanic depictions."
Book burning was more effective
before the days of mass printing, and
is currently used primarily as a shock
tactic. In the age of mass media, suppression of the actual text has been
much more common. Using legal means
to suppress a book began with the Comstock Act of 1873. Local and state censorship boards had their own obscenity
laws, regulating their own punishments
and standards, which applied to books,
devices, and films.
» —••
|
In 1957, the Supreme Court declared
that if a work of art had significant social
value, it was not obscene. The case was
revisited in 1960, when the Court added
that it was necessary to censor material
"lacking in social value" or that was "no
essential part of the exposition of ideas."
This vague language has allowed censors to declare texts obscene and not
defensible by the First Amendment.
Schools and public libraries often ban
books with questionable content that
they consider obscene. In the interest of
protecting minors, local school boards
have authority in deciding whether or
not a work is obscene in their district.
In the decentralized educational system,
small but vocal groups are able to influence boards and administrators. After
the implication of the Pico standard in
1975, where a high school student took
his school board to court for banning a
book, school boards are allowed to ban
works based on vulgar content, but not
for subversive ideas. When presenting
the case for banning a book, pressure
groups have to be careful to attack the
work's content, not its ideas.

a total of 2,781 cases of
SARS worldwide, with 170
possible cases reported currently in the United States

virus has claimed 111 lives
worldwide, but no deaths
have been reported in the
United States.
In San Diego there has
been one possible case
of SA«B. The San Diego
County Public Health Services (PHS) announced
on April 7 that they were
investigating a possible
case of SARS in a woman

Book Burners
Two of the most recent attempts to ban a book show the
struggle against the Pico standard. In 2002, Parents Against
Bad Books (PABBIS) in Fairfax, Virginia, attempted to ban the
historical novel Gates ofFire. The book was attacked as having
violence, profanity and sadism. It is set during the war between
Greece and Troy and aimed at older teenagers. The Fairfax
County school board voted to retain the book as an accurate
depiction of ancient warfare. Early in 2003, the Harry Potter
books were banned in school libraries in Cedarville, Arkansas. The review board claimed the books promoted magic and
witches and taught that "parents/teachers/rules are stupid and
something to be ignored." The case is currently in court, with
the defense arguing that the board banned the book for promotion of different ideas.

partisan disapproval." When asked if a special interest group,
such as a student organization or a major donor, had ever asked
that a book be banned, Stengel said he was unaware of any such
request. "We would take any such request seriously as an opportunity to discuss what we do and why," he added, "Which is not
to say we would agree to remove the book."
Another recent challenge to the Pico standard was the Children's Internet Protection Act. The law, which was proposed at
the federal level, required all libraries receiving federal funding
to install Internet filters, devices made by private companies
which block access to certain sites. Proponents of the law
claimed it would prevent children from viewing obscene material in schools and libraries. Opponents stressed that filtering
software was notoriously unreliable, blocking adult's access to
constitutionally protected material. They also argued that the
act would force adults to read at a child's level. The law passed
in Congress in December of 2000. Currently, the ALA and the
American Civil Liberties Union are challenging the law.
Among the most frequently banned books in public school
libraries as of early 2003 are The Harry Potter series by JK
Rowling, for their focus on magic and their anti-authoritarianism; the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual
content; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
for racism, sexual content and language; and the Captain Article Three of the ALA's Bill of Rights says that librarUnderpants series by David Pilkey for "encouraging children ies should work with other groups to challenge censorship. A

Where's The Booze?
Part 2: The
Administration
By DAVE WERTH
Pride Staff Writer
The quest for knowledge
as to the history and idea of
a potential pub at CSUSM
continues. A small percentage of a powerful and
growing student voice has
been expressed thus far,
and now the issue becomes
clearer as the administration of CSUSM answers
the question: Where's The
Booze?
CSUSM Senior Director
for Health, Counseling,
and Disability Services
Susan Mitchell was more
than delighted to help
answer this question. She
noted that the San Marcos
campus is by no means a
dry campus. In fact, with
proper approval, beer and
wine may be served on
campus. In addition, the
new student housing will
not have a prohibition on
alcohol.
There is, however, a long
list of rules that accompany these allowances.
Policy states that alcohol
consumption is allowed in
student housing, as long
as the person is at least
21 years old. In addition,
large quantities of alcohol
may not be brought into
the housing. These large
quantities pertain mostly
to kegs of beer. How the
school plans make a judgment on large quantities of
hard alcohol and wine is
somewhat of a mystery.
The school policy for
alcohol
consumption
on campus differs dramatically from the student
housing policy. Alcohol
consumption by anyone
on the CSUSM campus
is prohibited, even if the
person is 21 years of age.
The exception to this rule
is if alcohol is being served
at a social, cultural, or educational related, that is a
school sponsored function,
and with approval from the
president's office. Approval
for consumption of alcohol at such an event must
be requested at least four
weeks in advance. There
also must be approval for
the use of facilities, along
with approval from several
different
administrative
offices. Even then, only beer
and wine may be served,
and it must be served by a
properly licensed distributor or catering service.
Although Mitchell provided excellent information
on issues relating to alcohol
within educational institutions, she also found herself
stumped as to why there is
no pub on the San Marcos
campus. She offered the
suggestion that a pub may
have never been suggested
by anyone, up to this point.
A fter a lengthy interview

a factual reason as to why there
is no pub at CSUSM. He did,
however, express confidence
when saying that he believed that
the idea of a pub has never been
formally suggested. Instead he
believed that it has been a topic
that has been surfacing in conversations around the campus
from time to time, but never taken
beyond that.
Community perceptions of
CSUSM, campus safety, drunken
driving, and the learning environment that may be affected by
a pub, have all been suggested
as reasons why Cal State San
Marcos has no pub. However,
the best answer that could be
provided was that the idea of
a pub has never been formally
suggested. Whether or not a
pub is something that students
would like to see at CSUSM is
debatable. What is clear, is that
formally suggesting the idea is
the first step, and may be the only
way to fully answer the question:

C ONCERN
D ON'T ABUSE
YOUR F REEDOMS
I was pleased at the
overwhelming turnout of
students at the April 9th
war debate sponsored by
the College Republicans
and PAN. The event was
very well organized and for
the most part ran smoothly.
Unfortunately, there were
some people who chose
to disrupt the assembly by
inappropriately
shouting
out rude, personal, and
unfair comments, as well
as obscene gestures to Mr.
Steel.
As Americans, we have the
right to speak freely, but
this does not mean that we
have the right to use abusive
speech or encroach and
trample on other people's
rights. While I must
commend the majority of
the liberals attending the
event for not participating in
such immature tactics, I also
find it interesting that the
only individuals who chose
to act in such a manner were
the very same people who
advocated for "peace."
But then it was just last week
that Sen. Kerry, a Democrat
advocator of peace, said
that the U.S. also needs a
"regime change," which by
definition involves forcibly
removing a dictator from
power. While the "corporate
media" is quick to show
protesters in the streets of
New York or San Francisco,
the truth is that 78 percent of
Americans support the war
with Iraq, and 69 percent
of Americans approve of
the way Bush is conducting
the war (4/03/03, Opinion
Dynamics Poll).
Since these abusive words
of treason came from a
Democratic
presidential
candidate, it really is no
surprise that liberals on
campus would follow the
example of this country's
left wing leadership, and
encroach on Mr. Steel's
rights. Your words and
actions spoke louder than
the "peaceful" protest signs
of your movement, and
you truly showed the true
character of the bleeding
heart liberal.
Today, Iraqi's rejoiced in the
streets of Baghdad at the
toppling of Saddam's statue,
and the end of Saddam's evil,
tyrannical regime. May God

Dear Editors:
that the Iraqi regime might
hold against us? What are
our soldiers dying for?
Sure 82 casualties doesn't
compare to the previous
wars Americans have
fought in, but that is still 82
dead people and counting,
and thousands more lives of
friends and family that have
been drastically affected.
I know that many people
join the military for lots
of reasons, many of which
don't include protecting
the country, like benefits, a
stable pay check, to make
something out of their lives,
to travel, to get financial
help to go to school through
the G.L Bill, and as a way
out from any pressure at
home. Soldiers are owned,
which is why they're called
military property; their job
comes first no matter what,
and they don't have much of
a say in it either.
One can argue that even if
our first motive for the war
wasn't to disarm Saddam,
it is still our motive to free
the people from Saddam's
tyranny and oppression. We
have the ability and so it is
our responsibility. That is a
valid point. The people of
Iraq have been oppressed by
their own ruler and have the
right to be free. Many Iraqis
would want to live free and
not under Saddam's regime.
If we never find WMD then
of course our motive is to
free Iraq, but it wasn't like
that in the first place. It'
just funny how later on in
the war the ideal of freeing
Iraq
was
emphasized
more than finding and
destroying weapons of mass
destruction.

A s America fights a war witto
Iraq, some people are looking1 at
the l awf M p&ce and questioning
the security of personal liberties,
while otters are willing to lose
some rights in exchange? for safety.
Looking at the history of America,
civil liberties are often a victim of
war.
To better understand the threat
that war poses to civil liberties, it
is important to review civil liberties
in the past wartimes of America.
In 1798, only, 10 years after the
ratification of the Constitution,
America entered the Quasi War
with France and passed the Alien
and Sedition Acts of 1798. Among
other laws, the acts made it illegal to
protest a^ains| the a<&riînistîïtion's
policy, a direct violation of the f irst
Amendment. The Act was not very
jpovtërfiil because!! only resulted in
25 arrests, of i #Iich only 10 wetSè
convicted- *
.
In the 1860s, President Abraham
•Lincoln, in order to "keep the union
together," passed emergency Jaws
that violated the Fifth Amendment
and Habeas Corpus, outlined in
Section 9 of the Constitution.
Military commanders were allowed
to suspend due process and were
held prisoners for years without a
trial or at times, without suspicion
pf a crime.
The Espiona|e Act of 1917,
which was passed during World
War I, allowed for the prosecution
of 2,000 people, convicting 1,000
of them. When ratified in 1918, it
forbade opposition to the war by
banning "disloyal utterances Such
utterances included "unpatriotic"
conversation.
For instance,
criticizing the Young Men's
Christian Association (YMCA) and
the Red Cross was also considered
unlawful. Other comments that
were banned were those questioning
the U.S. aad British- relationship,
discouraging women from knitting
socks for the troops, and citing ¡¡¡at
contrary t o the teaching of
Jesus.

"The Yellow Ribbon Program is a suicide prevention
program that is worldwide,
that serves all 50 states and 47
other countries," said Hilz. "I
became interested in the program when my good friend
committed suicide when I
was 15 and they were handing
these cards out at his funeral."
The small white cards have a
yellow ribbon printed on one
side with a caption that says,
"This ribbon is a lifeline." A
person in distress can hand
the card to someone, a parent,
a friend, a pastor, or a doctor
to reach out and ask for help.

college students. Going to
college can be an especially
difficult time of adjustment
for students, many of whom
are leaving home f or the
first time. Other stresses
include leaving family and
friends, high expectations of
academic- success, increased
amount of homework, and, for
some, working while going to
school. These stresses can
cause depression to appear
for the first time, or aggravate
existing depression.

"Higher education has
become more important than
ever to ensure America's
economic prosperity, national
security, and health. Yet
swelling enrollments among
low-income and working
class families, massive state
budget cuts, and rising tuition
continue to strain our ability
to ensure access to a college
education for all Americans,"
said Representative George
Miller, the Senior Democrat
on the House Committee on
Education and the Workforce.
Miller, a Democrat from
California, introduced two
higher education bills to
the House Committee in
Washington on Mar. 18,
2003, known as the College
Affordability and Lifetime
Savings Act and the College
Opportunity for a Better
America Act.
According to the official
remarks made by Miller at the
presentation to the House of
Representatives, the College
Affordability and Lifetime
Savings Act proposes to help
ease the burden of student
loan debt for millions of
Americans. The act will
possibly change the current
student loan tax deduction
benefit to a tax credit - which
will deliver a larger rebate
on the interest paid on
student loans to borrowers.
The savings for the typical
borrower who is earning
$20,000 a year will more than
triple to $347 in theirfirstyear
of repayment.
The
Department of
Education has reported that 7
million students are expected
to take out federal student
loans to cover the costs of
their education this year

to be the only way for many

the Yellow Ribbon Program,
said, "I want to acknowledge Lindsay because she's
worked really hard to bring

added, "I wish [suicide]
didn't exist. But it does and
it's a growing problem."
Rivera said that the actual
statistics for suicide are much
higher than reported because
police won't label a death a
suicide unless there's clear
evidence, such as a suicide
note, that the death was
intentional. But other statistics about suicide are clear
and alarming. Eleven young
people, between the ages
of 15 and 24, die by suicide
every day in this country.
Since 1990, there has been
a 120 percent increase in suicides in students between the
ages of 10 and 14 years old.
"Suicide is an equal opportunity killer," said Rivera. It
is not particular to one race
or socio-economic group.
But, Rivera said, "Suicide is
not about death and not about
dying - it's about
ending the pain."
Some signs that someone
may be considering suicide
are:
Depression or withdrawal

"Women Rights" manual to
her audience.
This and many other unique

held on campus this month. "It
is a wonderful opportunity to
honor all those women before
us and today (including those
fictitious characters!) who
have worked and continue to
pave the way for equal rights,"
said Schaffman.
A panel made up of the
three
performers
gave
closure to the evening, as
the audience was encouraged
to ask questions and engage
with the current discussion of
Women's History Month and
Women's rights. The topics
addressed included the role
models of the three women,
which included mothers,
grandmothers, female artists,
and earlier "girl power"
movements in history as well
as the reasons each woman
gave for being active in such
an ambitious cause. When
rapper Goldstein was asked
about her f uture goals as an
artist she responded, "Being
Miss Liberty is all about
creating change and I plan on
doing it one rap at a time."
"It was actually pretty
shocking at first," described
audience member Ashley
Moses, "but I think that
was the point. I had never
considered some of the issues
presented by these women. It
really opened my eyes."

overshadowed the others. Is it the university's alcohol policy not to let The Pride student newspaper
advertise happy hours at restaurants and bars, drink
specials on college nights at dance clubs, and alcohol in general?
If this is so, why is it that Rick Moore, Director of
the Office of Communications which puts out "In
the Loop" every week, allows student organizations
to advertise their social events at restaurant bars?
According to Rick Moore, he does not want students at Cal State San Marcos to be perceived in this
light (As barflies),so why does put out these social
gatherings which encourage students to stay after 8
P.M. for karaoke. Are these student organizations
getting special permission from the president's
office to do this?
What about Cougar night at Zip & Zack's? I am

The Pride relies on a limited budget given
to them by the university in order to operate. Many stories have been held back
from staff writers because of the lack of
funding. Why can't the same rules apply
for The Pride newspaper and "In the Loop"

route would give some power to The Pride

�A response to Anna Hall
I believe you have a misunderstanding of the concept of
conservatism. By all traditional
definitions, conservatism means
cautious, moderate, or disposed
to preexisting establishments,
institutions and norms. Simply
put, being a conservative means
not wanting to "rock the boat"
for the sake of stability. Understanding this, all media, except
for independent media (both
left and right), is conservative.
ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, etc. all
broadcast to vast segments of
the American public — to people
with extremely diverse backgrounds and opinions. Because
of sponsorship, advertisements,
and for the sake of ratings* these
companies very shrewdly avoid
pressing any extreme opinion
(right or left), as they do not
want to alienate viewers. In this
sense, the media is neither left
nor right, but strategically moderate because they do not want to
"rock the boat." This is the argument of a conservative media: the
industry chooses not to side with
any particular cause; therefore,
by definition the media is very
conservative. Labeling the media
as conservative is not necessarily
a pejorative term though. It is
simply stating that the industry is
limiting the scope of discussion
and the facts or viewpoints presented (left or right). Media bias
is a two-way street.
My second point I wanted to
raise is your fear of liberalism of
which I will try to assuage. As
opposed to conservatism (favoring the status quo), liberalism
seeks to press the frontiers of
social progress. I assure you,
liberals are not "Pinko Commie
Socialists," they are people just
like you and me. However, rather
than embracing the status quo,
they challenge it in hopes of a
more positive future. The history
of the United States is rife with
such examples. The. American
Revolution: a small minority of
the colonial population decided
that they had had enough and it
was time to part with England.
Their defiance gave us our independence. In the early 1800s, a
pestering group of liberals waged
a 30+-year campaign to end the
horrid practice of slavery. In
the late 1800s, the working man
demanded his rights against the
evils of unrestrained business;
they gave us labor unions, eighthour days, overtime, workman's
compensation, etc. After nearly
an entire century of agitation
and civil disobedience, women
procured suffrage with the 19th
Amendment. In the 1960s we
witnessed the Civil Rights movement for racial equality, feminism, and anti-Vietnam protests.
Now it's a struggle for gay rights.
Even larger is the movement
against war with Iraq. None of
these movements were AntiAmerican, even though every
single one of them was labeled
as such. Without & doubt, the
men and women overseas risk
their lives to defend our freedom,
but we cannot forget, or simply
ignore, where these freedoms

Dear Editors,
Dear FHitrwc
Recently, I read your article on
Medical Marijuana. I found it
interesting that California passed
a proposition for the growing of
marijuana for patients that need
it for medical purposes. I think
this is wonderful because of all
of the sick people that can really
use something to make them feel
better.
However, this adds "to my concern as to whether or not these
sick patients may be adding to

whether or not the reason why
children are using marijuana
today is because they have such
easy access to it. This access
is either through a loved one or
someone they know that is growing it or using it on a daily basis.
I am not saying that since terminally ill patients are able to grow
this product, then they are going
to give it out to everyone that they
know. However, I qannot help but

get a hold of it and use it for their
own purposes, that's when things
need to change. I care very much
about those that are going through
great amounts of pain and suffering, however I don't think that
they should be able to grow this
plant in their own house. I think
that doctors should set up labs
where patients can go and smoke
as much marijuana as they think
they need in the doctor's presence. This in turn would probably

marijuana is the answer, then that
is what they would want. Giving
them the right to grow marijuana
in their own homes is putting a lot
of trust not only to the patients,
but to others as well. I think that
these patients should be allowed
to smoke this plant of their own
free will, however I believe that it
should be done in the presence of
doctors.
Even though patients are
allowed to grow small amounts
of marijuana in their homes, it
seems logical that they would
want to keep this product out of

In this time of uncertainty for
the United States, .it seems almost
frivolous to be discussing sports.
However* as a prominent American institution, ^sports are profoundly affected by major international events, such as the war
with Iraq. Interesting questions
have arisen, not about the content
of the games, but about whether
the games should even be played.
The leaders of all the sports currently in-season, which include
college basketball, professional
basketball, hockey, and baseball,
have given serious and well-publicized thought to this issue, but
thus far have all decided to let the
games be played as scheduled.
First and foremost, if sporting events were to be cancelled,
we would be letting the enemy
further affect our way of life.
Whether or not you personally
are a sports fan, there is no doubt
that sports play an intricate role in
the lives of many Americans. By
changing our traditions, whether
it is through postponing sports
or anything else, we essentially
bring the war home. That's not
to say we shouldn't show our support (or opposition) for the war,
nor does it mean we should avoid

�Things You Need to Know About NAFTA
Dear Editors:
I am a freshman at the
university who is very
concerned with how little
students know about the
insulting fiasco that is
NAFTA (North American
Free Trade Agreement).
Students should know about
the oppression that NAFTA
causes. The area that the
agreement affects most is
Latin America.
Albeit trade is way up from
seven years ago, there are
many problems that result
from this. In no way does
the lowered prices of goods
from increased competition make up for all the job
losses that emerged from
NAFTA, not to mention
all the environmental damages and social dislocation.
NAFTA supporters believe
that the agreement assists
Mexico's economy drasti-
cally, but they do not know
that the nation was already
liberalizing its economy
for the better before the
United States unnecessarily
stepped in.
They did this by beginning to invest in foreign
goods and dropping tariffs.
It's hard to tell whether the
Mexican economy would
be any better or worse
today if NAFTA had not
been agreed upon. During
the United States debate
over whether or not to pass
NAFTA, pro-NAFTA economists proposed that there
would be thousands of new
jobs per 1$ billion in trade
surplus, obviously assuming that the United States'
exports would explode
with a huge increase. However, when the peso crisis
launched Mexico into a
recession, bringing the U.S.
trade into deficit with it (the
nation's exports surpassed
that of its imports), U.S. job
losses nearly reached the
hundred thousand mark.
It turns out that Clinton's
and Bush's proposed numbers about x number of jobs
being created by x number
of billion dollars was
based upon guesses rather
than proof The massive
amount of layoffs caused
by NAFTA is indisputable.
In the U.S., nearly 150,000
laborers were eligible for
NAFTA's
Transitional
Adjustment Assistance Program in 1997, yet only five
percent of them actually
received any assistance or
benefits from the program.
Generally speaking, laid
off U.S. workers earn a
much lower average commission after they find a
new job. While the loss of
jobs in the U.S. is easy to
recognize, Mexico's workers have also been losing
jobs significantly under
NAFTA. This is because it
became much more difficult for laborers to unionize
after NAFTA was passed.
Companies usually threaten
to close down part of their
business after attempts at
unionizing occur in their
facilities, andfifteenperated agricultural competicent of businesses did in

Freshman,
A Response From a "Pinko Commie Socialist"
As a member of PAN, I could
not resist the urge of responding
to a letter, which is full of insults
and slurs (pinko commie socialist, pothead, brainwashed, uneducated, shut your slack jawed
mouths), written by someone
who actually does not deserve
to be taken into account. However, for the sake of clarifying
a few things for those who read
the opinion titled "Slack Jawed"
written by Anna Hall, I decided
to write this letter.
First of all, I cannot understand
why you are so angry with PAN?
Why is it so hard for you to
accept the fact there are people
out there do think different
than you do? What happened to
democracy, free speech and freedom to have different opinions?
Did you come and try to talk to
one of us?
I have a solution though.
I challenge you to a political
debate. We can talk about any
ideology, any thinker, or any
writer. It would be a pleasure
for me to hear your criticisms of
Karl Marx and his works since
you sound like you know what
you are talking about in regards
to Marx and Marxist theories. I
would be delighted to hear your
disagreements of the Communist
Manifesto or The Capital. If you
wish, we can discuss conservatives and conservative ideologies:
Adam Smith, Francis Fukuyama,
William Saffire, Paul Wolfowitz?
You pick. How about Islamic
fundamentalism and Sayyid
Qutb? Would you prefer to talk
about Jerry Falwell and Christian
Reconstruction theories? We can
go way back and discuss Plato,
Aristotle, St. Augustin. How
about we discuss the emergence
of contemporary political ideologies since the enlightenment
from Weber to Kant, Sartre to
Rousseau, Hobbes to Locke,
Mussolini to Lenin? If your
argument is that PAN members
are illiterate about politics and
political ideologies and brainwashed by only reading Karl
Marx, I challenge you to come
and have a political debate with
me, serious offer. A person who
is capable of insulting, should
also be capable of putting out an
argument to back those insults.
Maybe after that you will learn
your lesson about not judging and
insulting people you don't even
know. Forget about Marx, I bet
you don't even know the difference between Communism and
Socialism.
Since elementary school we're
pushed to succeed, to go to college, and succeed there. And
we're told that we need a degree
to succeed. I've been attending
CSUSM since the fall of 2002.
Since then, tuition has gone up
and parking fees have more than
doubled. And they continue to
increase.
Society looks at the lower class
and blames their financial problem is due to the lack of education. How are they supposed to
attend a higher education system
without the money? Sure now
there are scholarships, but now
the middle class is the ones who
see higher education as a financial burden. They're too rich to
qualify for most scholarships yet
too poor to be able to pay for the
cost themselves without starching a penny here and there.
To get rich we must study, but
to study we must be rich. In no
way am I completely blaming
CSUSM for the tuition increase,
but for the parking fee increase
and the ones yet to come, those
words will be left unsaid. Sure
I can write the governor or
any other government official
and wait months, if at that, for
a response, but one voice is
never as strong as hundreds or
thousands. As for the parking
increase, it was said that there
was a window of opportunity to
discuss the matter. I remember
hearing about the meeting an
hour before it was supposed to
start.
Great notice.
Some of us have class that can't
be missed, exams, or even work.
The majority of students can't
just drop everything in an hour.
If something this important is up
in the air for discussion a good
amount of notice (say a week or
more) should be given, as well
as notification of the discussion
throughout campus. Because
of the outrageous parking fees,
students are taking risk by packing in the shopping area, and
soon in near by neighborhoods
(that are nearly a mile away from
campus). At least than we won't
have to worry about students not
getting enough exercise!
Concerning the tuition, I'm not
fighting for no fees, but at least a
sensible one. For students there's
three possible ways of dealing
with tuition: pay it yourself,
scholarships, or student loans. I
can see how paying it yourself
at a community college, but at
a four-year it's stress. Do I have
enough, what other bills will I
not be able to pay, how many
extra hours must I work? Scholarships, to me personally seem to
be confusing. For the vast majority, just to qualify we have to be

Higher Education is Not Cheap
Dear Editors:
going to disappoint you but your
letter did not offend me or upset
me at all. I just had a big smile
on my face when I read it. Obviously, 3 years of college is not
enough for some people to get
out of Junior High behavior
poor, of a minority, have good
grades, be involved in school
some how, and have racked up
community service hours.
And loans! It's the easiest at the
ftioment thing to do, but jafter that
it seems that you're getting your
pay back for years after. The rates
of tuition should be the same
always, increasing discourages
future students from applying to
a four-year school. Our society
stresses students to achieve high
education, yet makes it a great
expense that can't be obtained,
and on top of that continues to
raise the cost.
If the governor or a government
official builds his campaign on
what society values essential
- education - he or she should
increase the quality, not the
price.

direct left-hand turn into the lot
in the near future, which would
facilitate accessibility. "We
want to show the students that
they are getting something out
of this [parking] fee increase,"
explained Brown.
Curb parking, which was
available last semester to relieve
tense parking conditions, is now
prohibited. Parking services
claims that curb parking is no
longer necessary since Lot X, a
dirt lot located at the corner of
Twin Oaks and Craven Dr., is
currently available.
Each semester, the need for
parking spaces relatively close
to the campus increases. When
questioned about the absence of
curb parking, Robert Williams,
CSUSM parking services coordinator, explained that curb parking was an emergency measure
last semester, which first needs
city approval for long-term use
because it uses the space allottedforbike lanes and emergency
vehicles. Williams said that curb

Electrical workers turned off
CSUSM's electrical service on
Monday, Jan. 20. The installation of a new emergency generator necessitated the shutdown.
Even though the period without
electricity was brief and during
the early morning hours of a holiday, some students questioned
why the entire system needed to
be shut down and whether this
is a reflection of possible deficiencies in*CSUSM's electrical
service system. These concerns
appear to be unwarranted.
Ken Collier, a journeyman
electrician and member of the
International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers local 569, as
well as an instructor on electrical
theory at the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee in
San Diego, answered questions
about the installation of emergency generators for industrial
applications.
According to
Collier, generators such as the
one installed at CSUSM require
the use of an automatic transfer
switch or ATS. The ATS senses
a lack of power in an established
electrical distribution system
and switches over to a generator
usually driven by a gasoline or
diesel engine. The ATS is more
than a simple switch, as it also
starts the emergency generator
and performs electronic motor
control operations regulating
the generators output. Through
the use of the ATS, an electrical
system can be functioning again
within seconds of a power failure. When electrical service is
reestablished the ATS automatically switches back to the main
switchgear providing power
from the electrical utility,
to new construction, such an
emergency generator would be
built into the electrical distribution system before power from
the utility had been established,
eliminating the need for any
interruption of power. The ATS
and generator at CSUSM had
to be spliced into the existing
distribution system. To avoid
working on the high voltages
present at the main switchgear,
which is neither safe nor practical, the power was temporarily
interrupted.
installed primarily in hospitals
and in industrial operations
where uninterrupted power was
considered critical. The growing
dependence of almost all businesses and services on computers and other digital equipment

Heretofore, emergency power has made the use of emergency
generation systems had been power generators more ubiqui-
tous.
The emergency generator
installed at CSUSM is meant
to ensure that a constant and
reliable supply of electricity is
always available for students and
faculty.

Last
week,
problems
associated with high quantities
of automobile oil consumption
in the United States were
explored. In an effort to move
toward a remedy and a better
future, several options need to
be examined and considered for
widespread implementation.
An easy avoidance method
has been to pass the buck onto
future generations. But now,
it may be that a generation
with the past on its shoulders
chooses to role up its sleeves
instead of turn its nose. As
environmental damages, become
more difficult to ignore, as the
national population continues
to grow exponentially, and as
the world is once again facing
political turmoil in the Middle
East, a region economically
crucial for its vast oil reserves,
now may be the time to make
more meaningful efforts to find
alternative energy sources and
step toward alternative living
styles.

deteriorated by nearly 8 percent,
from 22.1 in 1988 to 20.4 in 2001,
says Consumer Reports. Ideally,
efficiency would be apportioned
to improve emissions, miles per
gallon (mpg), and horsepower.
Overall, cars are only using
about 15% of the energy in fuel;
75% of gasoline's energy is lost
in the process of running the car.
Because of this, the potential
to improve fuel economy
with advanced technologies is
enormous.

by the National Academy of
Sciences (NAS), an independent
research organization created
by Congress, "If fuel economy
had not improved, gasoline
consumption would be about
2.8 million barrels per day (or
14 percent) greater than it is."
CAFE standards, however, have
remained frozen at the 1985 level
for cars and the 1996 level of
20.7 mpg for light trucks, and the
auto industry has fought against
further increases.
Higher fuel taxes
While this is not the most
appealing option to consumers,
it cannot be denied that high
fuel prices result in greater fuel
conservation. In Europe and
Japan, for instance, high fuel
taxes have resulted in gasoline
prices of $4 (US) per gallon or
more, which in turn has created
a large demand for smaller, more
fuel-efficient vehicles. In the
U.S., however, high fuel taxes
are unpopular and politically
forlorn. It is unlikely that
significant increases in gasoline
taxes would pass anytime soon.
Lisa Dufresne, a senior and
an accounting major, captured
popular American sentiment
with her statement, "I would
prefer to keep [gas prices and
consumption rates] the Way they
are out of personal convenience,
even though it is pretty selfserving."
"Even if I knew it was better
for the environment, I would
keep things the same," echoed
senior Graham Smorzewski.
"I can barely afford gas as it is
now," he said.

standards
fuel-economy
Federal regulations, called
the Corporate Average Fuel
Economy (CAFE) standards,
have been in place since 1975 to
govern mpg efficiency.
According to a recent study
"Government regulation is
necessary," voiced Kate Irwin, a
senior and sociology major. "It's
important to have the government
watching over to ensure that
we're taking measures to protect
our environment."
While CAFE has been helpful,
the standards have serious
loopholes and have not been
increased in years. Significant
improvements won't happen
without governmental pressure,
and to that end, it seems the
standards should be allowed to
maintain gradual improvements.

�Mars on Earth
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
San Diegans are going to
Mars. They are off in masses,
but not to the little red planet that
is our neighbor. Instead they
are going to the Mars located
in Utah, one of the Mars Analog
Research Stations created by the
Mars Society.
The Mars Society is an
international organization that
was founded in August 1998.
The society is currently about
5,000 members strong, including
the 50 to 60 members in San
Diego. The society is both a
scientific and social organization
that combines experimentation
with social activities. The
society has created two Mars
Analog Research stations, one
in Devon Island in the Arctic
that operated for two months
and the other in the midst of
Utah's deserts. On February 28,
2001, San Diego created is own
chapter of the society and has
since played an important role
in the research stations, which
serve as their mission support
and control center.
The Mars Analog Research
Station in Utah is comprised
of "the Hab." "The Hab'Vis a
two-deck cylindrical structure
with an eight-meter diameter
that serves as the habitat for the
crewmembers, as well as several
peripheral external structures;
some are inflatable and some
may be attached to "the Hab".
The crew is comprised of six
members* of different chapters
of the society; each crew stays
at the habitat for two weeks.
The crewmembers drive ATV's,
which are vehicles that are
similar to ones that have been
used on the moon, in their space
suits, explore their environment,
perform geological experiments,
and are attempting to grow plants
in a "greenhab" with various soil
samples in an atmosphere similar
to what might be found on Mars.
Currently/ the Mars Society
is in complete control of these
experiments. NASA has made its
priority the Mir Space Station.
The internationally manned
station that is currently in orbit
around earth has taken the
bulk of NASA's funding. Due
fo this lack of focus on Mars,
it is unknown what NASA will
do with the Mars Society's
findings.
The crew at the Research
Station in Utah communicates
with the San Diego based
Mission Control via the Internet.
They send typed reports that are
filtered through a director to
various members who specialize
in different scientific fields.
The communication is taken
very seriously and is performed
as realistically as possible,
including invoking a five to ten
minute time delay that would be
realistic in the actual scenario.
This allows for the researchers
to realize any problems that
might arise due to time delays or
to be able to rectify any glitches
in the system, in order to prevent

"Welcome to Arts & Lectures" is
the alluring invite offered by the 2003
CSUSM Arts & Lectures series. The
program invites both CSUSM, students
and the local community to encounter

mediums. The series has been around
since the inception of CSUSM in 1989
with the purpose of fostering critical
thought through exposure to diverse
expressions. According to Bonnie Biggs,
the Coordinator for the Arts & Lectures
program, each series is developed and
designed to "reflect the curricular goals
of the faculty" resulting in the university
hosting artists and lecturers who compliment the curriculum and give it a "pulse".

The Front Side-air-tail-whip Reverse
By SEAN CARNE
For The Pride
You are probably sitting there,
looking at this paper, creating
a more confused and distorted
expression than anyone could
imagine. Confused and distraught, you are contemplating
what you have just read in the
title. Trust me, this trick is much
more difficult to perform than
it would ever be to read! Surfing may possibly be one of the
greatest spectator sports. Some
people agree that it is even better

The issue is entitled, "Emision
de Santa Cruz." I can't even do
this trick yet, nor do I think that I
ever will be able to; however I'm
improving with practice. This
trick, according to the magazine,
ranks very high on the difficulty
meter.
My best advice would be to
stretch really well and do a lot of
practice heats before attempting
this. First, start off by "hauling ass," meaning you should
begin paddling as fast as you
can to gather up enough speed

whip off your lip, your board
should now be freely flying
through the air. Your back foot
should be placed firmly on the
tail of the board while the front
foot places itself on the nose and
at the same time prepare yourself
for landing.
When you land, pound the
nose of the board with your front
foot into the water, keeping your
weight centered so the whole'
board hits the water. If your
front foot is not centered, the tail
will shake, causing you to lose
all balance and inevitably you
will crash horribly as the wave
rolls over you. The last step for
this trick is to stand on the nose
of your board and ride backward
for a little bit, only so you look
cool while you're riding in the
wave, actually proving that you
have just pulled something off.

Stop 'Spinning' And Just Say Thank-You
By GAIL TARANTINO
News Editor
While checking out the
school's homepage before the
semester started, I came across
a temporary link* regarding the
parking fee increase. Because
I'm a glutton for punishment, I
decided to read it. That was a big
mistake because I'm still mad. >
This piece of propaganda
from parking services starts
out explaining the parking fee
increases by saying how "we've
had it pretty good," because,
before 1999, parking was either
free or 12-14 dollars a month.
The article actually refers to our
dismal parking condition as "our
happy, low-cost parking situation." First of all I don't consider

entire procession of protesters
to reach the rallying point of
city hall. Contrary to Vietnam
era stereotypes of anti-war
protesters, the protesters were
largely representative of a
multi-racial spcio-economically
diverse mainstream America.
There were soccer moms pushing
strollers covered in peace signs,
grandparents hoisting signs
proclaiming "No War - Not
In Our Name " kids of all ages
beating all kinds of makeshift
drums giving the march a sort
of heartbeat, a small elderly
marching band playing John
Lennon's Imagine, working class
types holding pro-union signs
and shouting "¡Si Se Puede!"
conservatively attired protesters
holding signs saying things like
"No Blood For Oil" and "Disarm
Bush," and there were hippies
protesting too.
During the protest, Lessel
remarked
on more than
one occasion that he was,
"...surprised that most of the
protesters looked like ordinary
Americans.. .because [he] was
kind of expecting to see nothing
but your stereotypical hippies."
In the Jan. 13 issue of the San
Francisco
Chronicle,
Ruth
Rosen wrote, "Never before in
human history has an anti-war
movement grown so fast and
spread so quickly. It is even
more remarkable because the
war has yet to begin. Publicized
throughout cyberspace, the antiwar movement has left behind
its sectarian roots and entered
mainstream culture."
Jan. 18 was a day of both
national, and global antiwar protesting with protests
simultaneously occurring in
various major metropolitan areas
around the U.S. and in over 30
nations. CNN.com reported that
the week before the protest, the
FBI sent a bulletin to over 18,000
law enforcement organizations
around the nation warning them
to be ready for the possibility
of violent protests. CNN.com
reported after the protest,
"There were no reports of such
incidents, or of any violence or
confrontations."
In Washington DC, three
dozen people protesting the
anti-war protests gathered at
the Vietnam War Memorial to
offer their support to the Bush
administration's policy on Iraq.
One of these protesters was *55
year-old Scott Johnson, a Navy
veteran from Minneapolis who
asserted that, "The protesters
don't understand the threat
of Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein... k's a war of liberation
for people."
This past weekend, U.S.
Secretary of State Colin Powell
told European political and
business leaders at a conference
in Switzerland that the U.S.
remains willing to attack Iraq
alone. CNN.com reported
that, "In a 30-minute address
that broke no new ground but
attempted to enlist world support
for U.S. military action against
Iraq, Powell rejected criticism
from delegates that the United
States has not provided enough
evidence that Iraqi President
Saddam
Hussein
retains
weapons of mass destruction."
Powell went on to say, "The
more we wait, the more chance
there i s,for this dictator with
clear ties to terrorist groups including al Qaeda— to pass a
weapon, share a technology or
use these weapons again. The
nexus of tyrants and terror, of
terrorists and weapons of mass
destruction, is the greatest
danger of our age."
Judging by the language of
the signs and chants at the San
Francisco protest, it would be
safe to say that the protesters
reject the Bush administration's
pro-war arguments. CSUSM
student and first-time protester
Tasha Iglesias said she was glad
she'd driven herself and three
other CSUSM students to San
Francisco for the protest. She

remarked that, "It's just so nice
to know that I'm not really crazy,
that I'm not alone, that there are
-actually TONS of people who
feel the way I do about this issue.
I mean, before I came to this
protest, from watching the news
I actually thought that there
weren't many other Americans
who were against a war with
Iraq. But I'm glad I came here
because now I know I was wrong
to think that."

Ninth Annual Pow Wow will
Kick Off Homecoming Week
By JENNIFER HOLMES
Pride Staff Writer
The American Indian Student
Alliance (AISA) will host the 9th
Annual CSUSM Pow Wow from
10 a.m. to 10 p.m on Saturday,
Oct. 6 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on Sunday, Oct. 7.
"There is truly something for
everyone at the upcoming Pow
Wow," said Karin Giron, Pow
Wow co-chairperson, and AISA
president. "AISA looks forward
to carrying on this most precious
tradition, and warmly Welcomes
any support that you may have
to offer."
This is the second year that
this student organization has
served as the main organizer
for the event. AISA expects
that approximately 10,000 people
from all cultures and tribes from
the Indian Nation will attend the
Pow Wow.
The theme for this year's Pow
Wow is honoring the past, and
celebrating the future. The tradition of the Pow \yow is social,
cultural, and sacred, according
to Giron. Some of the scheduled
events include native drumming,
singing, intertribal dancing, and
native arts and crafts. Organizers
expect 50 vendor booths, which
will provide native foods, arts
and crafts, and beverages outside
the dance and drum arena.
; "What makes this year's Pow
Wow different from last year's
is that we will have Hawaiian
dancers performing during the
dinner break Saturday evening,
Oct.6," said Giron.
Sponsors of this year's Pow
Wow
include
Nordstrom,
CSUSM President Alexander
Gonzalez,
CSUSM's
Instructionally Related Activities
Board, and several individuals,
departments, and organizations
on campus.
The Pow Wow is f ree to
the public and will be held on
the field on the corner of Twin
Oaks Valley Road and Craven
Drive. Those who would like
more information regarding the
scheduled events at the Pow Wow
are asked to call (760) 839-1634.
Homecoming activities will
continue on Monday when the
university hosts the first Cal State
San Marcos Squares. Student
veterans on campus will also
hold a free BBQ lunch at the
Dome Plaza for students. On
Tuesday, the men's soccer team
will play a homecoming game at
4 p.m. on Mangrum Field against
UCSD.
The homecoming celebration
will continue Wednesday, with
Angela Davis, a featured speaker for the Intercultural Speaker
Series. The lecture will be held at
7 p.m.. at the California Center for
the Arts, Escondido. The homecoming celebration will conclude
on Friday evening with a masquerade dance in the Dome.
Those who would like more information on homecoming week are
asked to contact ASI at (760)
750-4990.

Fall Accident
GEW Under New Leadership
N umbers Revealed

Automobile accidents are concerns for some students and staff
of CSUSM, primarily during the
morning hours for drivers en route
to campus. An accident involving a student and faculty member
occurred on the morning of Sept.
24 in Lot C, bringing attention to
this on-going problem.
The collision was minor, said
campus police officials. After the
incident, the student and faculty
member exchanged contact and
insurance information. Most of
the accidents on or around campus usually involve no intervention by campus police if a resolution is reached between the
involved parties.
There have been accidental
reports involving hit-and run
incidents this semester. Campus
police reported five "property
damage only" accidents that did
not involve injuries. There were
six hit and runs so far this semester. There have been no major
injuries reported.
The number of accidents that
occur when students leave the
parking lots has risen, often due
to drivers misjudging the^speed
of oncoming traffic and making
last minute turns, according to
campus police. When some students discover damages to their
vehicles, there is little else for
them to do but file a police
report.
"Most often, when someone
hits another car in the parking lots
on campus, usually in an attempt
to park, that person drives off and
away from the scene to another
spot, said Sgt. Bill McCullough.
An accident is considered a
hit and run if a driver fails to
stop after a moving collision, or
if a driver hits another car and
fails to leave a contact note for
the owner. This is considered a
misdemeanor, and if the driver is
pulled over, he/she is considered
a hit and run suspect and will
be arrested. If a hit and run
occurs and someone is injured,
whether it is a moving accident
or a parked car Is struck, the
crime becomes a felony.
Those that would like to contact the campus police regarding
an accident on campus may call
their non-emergency line at (760)
750-4567.
As the new school year gets
underway, GEW will come under
new leadership as Dr. Aneil
Rallin, Professor of Literature
and Writing, takes over the reins
as Director of CSUSM's General
Education Writing (GEW) Program. Rallin has a diverse educational background spanning
three continents.
He completed his undergraduate studies in Bombay, India
and his Ph.D. in English Studies
with a concentration in rhetoric
and composition at Ohio State
University. He has also studied
at Oxford University in England.
Most recently, he taught at the
University of Southern California, CSU Chico, and Temple University.
Rallin described his ideas
about the function of Cal State
San Marcos' GEW program.
He views writing and reading
as interdependent activities that
promote intellectual inquiry and
growth.
He said he sees writing to
learn is not only the process of
advancing a claim, but also a
"process of knowledge-making,
and a device for demystifying the
powers invested in discourse."
Rallin is interested not only
in providing students with critical skills that will be of use to
them in other university classes,
but also in encouraging students
to assume the role of public intellectual, and to intervene in public
debates about the role of the uni-

versity. Towards that end, he said
that he feels it is essential for
students to understand the many
layers of complexities withijti any
text or dialogue and he said
he hopes to help cultivate this
awareness by "complicating students' thinking rather than simplifying it."
He used the GEW program
as an example of the university's
efforts to strengthen students'
writing. He said, however, that he
would like to see the university
fortify its commitment to writing
by allocating more resources to
writing instruction. As an example, CSUSM's GEW classes have
a maximum enrollment of 20 students; the maximum enrollment
of the comparable first-year writing course at UCSD is 12. "Since
there is no debate about the benefits of smaller classes for students, we have our work cut out
for us," said Rallin.
One wish Rallin has is office
space for the GEW instructors.
"I understand that space is at a
premium on this campus, but it
is a disgrace to the university
that our GEW instructors have
no institutional space to call their
own."
The GEW program has 11
instructors who are graduate students in the Literature and Writing Studies master's program,
and the instructors teach more
than 400 students.
. He said he hopes that
CSUSM will be able to keep pace
with national trends by developing and requiring all the students
an advanced writing course.
Rallin's research interests
include contemporary rhetoric
and theories of composition;
queer theory; feminist theory;
postcolonial studies; and experimental writing, film and video.

Amidst the screams of
revenge and anger from some
Americans as a result of Sept.
1 l 's terrorist attack, there are also
cries for peace from all corners of
the world, including San Diego;
many are using the Internet to get
the word out.
Peace activists are cutting
across all barriers. From Democrat, to Republican, to Green
Party and Socialist; from black,
white, Arab; Muslim, Buddhist,
Christian; from American, Asian,
to Middle Eastern and others,
people are gathering in every city
and country to oppose violence.
Local Activism
The threat of war and recent
racist attacks and discrimination
against Arab, Muslim, and
Middle Eastern communities has
led many activist organizations to
create a unified front. Almost 150
people, many of them from different San Diego peace organizations, and individual activists,
created the San Diego Coalition
for Peace and Justice (SDCPJ) on
Sept. 17 to mourn victims, speak
out against terrorism, war, racist
scapegoating, and to defend civii
liberties.
The group came together in
only four days. Activist San
Diego used their e-mail system
to spread the word. "E-mail is a
big factor in being able to turn
people out and communicate so
fast. This is the first big mobilization we've had that used e-mail,"
said Carol Jahnkow from the
SDCPJ.
Activist Jake Hayden said,
"This is a historic moment. The
formation of the coalition is a
good thing."
The organization has held
three meetings, and will continue
to meet every Monday.
The coalition is in the middle
of forming a mission statement,
but the present draft states,
"Modern warfare causes injuries
and death t o civilian populations
as surely as terrorism does. Military retaliation and revenge will
not stop terrorism, but will only
kill innocent people and inspire
f urther acts of -terrorism. We
must adhere to the highest moral
principles — employing global
dialogue and justice to end the
violence."
At the first meeting, several
committees were formed to
address each issue. The committees divided into categories such
as hate crimes prevention, artists, campus/students, civil liberties, educators, media, emergency
response, religious outreach and
public education.
The religious outreach and
the education committees teach

"Speakers and demonstrators emphasized that this was
not an anti-American protest,"
said Quinten Steenhuis, a student

an officially declared war draws
closer.
On Sept. 24, President
George W. Bush ordered that
all financial connections to possible terrorist organizations be
examined, and any assets allegedly linked to these organizations be frozen. In an attempt
to cut off any money that aids
the terrorist groups, Bush has
warned all institutions that
control money.
"We're putting
banks
and
financial institutions around
the world on

Bush: "If they

now has the

assets
and transactions in the United
States."
Bush has also asked for help
from the citizens of Afghanistan,
who he said he believed "may
be tired of having the Taliban in
place," to assist in the efforts of
bringing the parties responsible
for the attacks to justice.
In a White House interview,
White House Press Secretary
Ari Fleischer said, "According
to the United Nations charter,
the United States has the right
to defense."
The U.S. is acting on that
right and has deployed a substantial military force that continues to assemble in the Persian
Gulf. The Persian Gulf is a body
of water situated between Iran
and Saudi Arabia. It is accessible through the Arabian Sea
and gives the United States and
the coalition of forces the best
tactical access to Afghanistan
and the Middle East region.
It will take time to find
out exactly when the U.S. formally goes to war. "We're not
leaping into this, we're moving
into it in a measured way,"
said Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld, according to CNN
reports. Although not labeled
a war, the U.S. response is
now called "Operation Enduring
Freedom." It was changed f rom
the initial title "Operation
Infinite Justice" because the
Muslim faith only uses the word
infinite to describe acts associated with God.

it is also the nature of this first

"They're there quietly,
unseen, behind the scenes, establishing locations of people and
things that will be used in military campaigns later," Shepperd said. "They don't get a lot of
credit for this. We don't talk a lot
about it, but they're always part
of any military operation."
Although the administration
is still in the planning stages of
action, there is some, but not
all, worldwide support. Palestine,
Britain, Russia, and Saudi Arabia
are among the nations that have
pledged support for the U.S.
response to the terrorist actions.
Some nations have pledged the
use of air space, and others have
given the U.S. the f ree use of
their air bases.
Russian President Vladimir ,
Putin said he has support for
"building an international coalition" and gave the U.S. "permission for humanitarian over

in the film. He plays Tad,^ an

Legendary
screenwriter
William Goldman adapted
"Hearts in Atlantis." Goldman,
who also adapted the screenplay for "Misery," another King
novel, turns King's short story
into a wonderful tale for all
audiences.
This f ilm has been rated
PG-13 by the MPAA and has a
running time of 100 minutes.
Adapted from Stephen
King's novel of the same name,
"Hearts of Atlantis" is the first
Oscar-worthy film in years. Scott
Hicks ("Shine") directs the film
with a quiet subtleness that
reminded me of Rob Reiner's
"Stand By Me." With brilliant
performances and wonderful
cinematography, "Hearts in
Atlantis" delivers a tale about
how human beings change.
The f ilm begins with Bobby
Garfield (played by David Morse
of "The Green Mile"), a photographer who receives a package
in the mail. He finds a baseball
glove in the package, with a
note telling him that his friend,
Sully, died. Bobby returns to his
hometown and finds out that his
other friend, Carol, also passed
away.
Deeply saddened, Bobby
goes to his childhood home and
remembers when he was 11,
living with his single mother
(Hope Davis of "Mumford").
Anton Yelchin ("Along Came

Bobby. His mother is a woman

HOMECOMING
Students Build a Foundation for Life
By CHRIS NUNN
The stepping of student's feet
upon these familiar steps here
at CSUSM gives new meaning,
hope, and direction to re-entry
students who choose to build a
foundation for their lives. When I
met with re-entry students across
campus, it brought me a clearer
understanding of what they bring
to CSUSM, and how they have
opportunities waiting as they
travel their educational path.
One fellow student, Richard
Hunt, was unsure of his major
before he began his higher education. Then he re-enrolled and
said he would "take an active role
in what (he) wanted (his) life to
become." He is focusing on getting his bachelor's in literature
and writing studies. After he gets
his bachelor's, Richard plans to
study at a liberal arts college in
Colorado for his master's, and
someday teach at the collegiate
level.
Another fellow student,
Darlyne Gensel, majors in business management, with an emphasis
in
higher
technology. She learned about
the business major at CSUSM
from a friend. Darlyne explained
that, at any age or any degree
of knowledge, someone returning to school can achieve what

On the early morning of September 11, 2001 and in the time

he/she want. She finances her
education with student loans.
In my view, student and
faculty are responsible for working together, and for building
upon one another's strengths and
weaknesses to understand how
they may u nify the school to
serve the needs of all. At this
time, this blessed nation of ours is
greatly tested, and we are asked
to unite in an act of love. If we
think of those who also walk with
us here on campus, we should
reflect on how we may work
together.
A true blessing brings fruit
when we look back at the steps
we took in life, and change our
problems of a nation. Our government should leave wars to the
men and women who know how
to win 'em.
Here is the crux of my problem: anytime government steps
in and declares war on anything,
the onslaught of bureaucratic
mess to follow is about as problem-solving as a runner shooting
himself in the foot before running a marathon. Just maybe it
is time that grandiose gestures
are replaced with efficient and
accountable actions that yield the
objectives we set out to accomplish.
Instead of setting up another
department to deal with terrorism, congress should reinstate the
House Committee on Un-American Activities with the jurisdiction of hunting down terrorism
cells in the United State, and be
given the authority to cut off the
terrorist's domestic fundraising
gravy train.
Rather than vowing to rid
the world of terrorism through
declaring war, a noble but not
feasible goal, the United States
should repeal the executive order
that prohibits assassinations.
Then we should proceed to unremittingly eliminate the blood-
thirsty leadership of violent
terrorist organizations one by
one. As we systematically accomplish that goal Osama Bin Ladin,
Saddam Hussein, Yassir Arafat
and their misguided comrades
will disappear when they realize
that their declarations of holy
war against the United States,
and other democratic nations, are
their self-written death certificates.
The grand symbolism of a
declaration of war will serve at
best ineffective when we go after
an enemy with no country, and
no capitol. Further it gives credibility to any enemy who does
not deserve it. Are Bin Ladin,
and his type a credible threat to
the United States? Not a chance;
terrorists are like termites, they
only pose a threat when they are
ignored.
We do not need a long,
drawn-out war with rogue terrorists, we need leadership that will
deploy our special forces to leave
the corpses of terrorism to rot in
the desert, and a federal government focused on national security, not social security and farm
subsidies.

The Pride
Opinion Editor Speaks Out
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
Recently The Pride and
its editors were criticized by
Jared Hines, Frater of Tau Kappa
Epsilon and student Tami Illingworth. As one of the writers of
the "erroneous [opinion] article"
entitled "Students Respond Differently to Tragedy," I would like
to clarify some issues.
First off, the article was an
opinion piece, not an editorial.
It is illogical to assume that an
article written for the opinion
page by one or more editors is
the voice of The Pride editors
and staff as a whole. It is unjust
to criticize The Pride for the
opinion of two students. When
there is an opinion that all editors and the most of staff writers agree upon, it is written into
our editorial by the "unsigned
majority."
Secondly, there is a
clear difference between a news
piece and an opinion piece. 111ingworth wrote, "The job of
journalists is to present news
in a professional and unbiased
manner to allow for the reader to
come to their own conclusions."
We did not break this code of
journalistic values. Our piece
was not news. It was clearly
biased in nature, as all opinions
are, and was placed on a page
labeled Opinion.

Third, I would like to correct
a line from the opinion piece.
Claudia and I stated, "What disappointed us, however, was the
competition between the fraternities Tau Kappa Epsilon and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who were
showing off by playing loud and
vulgar music." We apologize; it
was clearly unfair for Claudia
and me to blame the fraternities
as a whole for the actions of
five or eight fraters working to
recruit new members on Tuesday, September 11.
Also, I have yet to find any
articles that match Hines' statement from his opinion piece entitled, "Open Your Eyes, Not Your
Mouth." He wrote "The Pride
seems to have a history of attacking the Greek system..." In my
opinion, this is an unwarranted
attack on our student newspaper.
Open your eyes; in a recent issue
of The Pride, dated Tuesday,
September 4, the Greek system
made front page news as major
participants in the set-up and
success of Welcome Week Festivities.
Lastly, I would like to remind
readers to look at all opinion
pieces with a certain level of
skepticism (including this one).
Clearly, opinion writing can be
backed with facts and numbers,
but more often it is backed
by feelings, judgments, personal
standards and personal values.
A passion that is strongly felt
An anger that is inwardly dealt
Lends to a quiet f ury that strives
For the blood of other lives
Innocence lost under freedom's cloak
Begins the darkness that evil provoked
Can blind vengeance ease our pain
Will it quench our thirst if brethren are
slain
Though we must eradicate
The people who freedom, they hate
With equal justice must we pay
To those who mark us as easy prey
Hastened lives end for all to see
Will be the death of freedom's ecstasy . ..
�Soccer G ame Cancelled D ue t o A bsent Referee
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM and Utah State University
men's soccer players waited an hour and
45 minutes for a referee that never showed
for Friday's game. At 5:45, the teams
and their few spectators left Mangrum
Field, where the players were going to
hold their game.
Khalid Al-shafie, the CSUSM men's
soccer coach, had great plans and goals
for his team's performance for Friday's
game. Before what never turned out to be
a game, Al-shafie said, "We are going to
cut from running and chasing, to holding
the ball more during the game. We are
also going to celebrate tonight if we score
first and win." The coach and the team,
however, did not have the opportunity to
put this plan into action.
An hour past the scheduled game
time, many calls were made, and Al-shafie
spoke to a representative from the Referee
Association. The representative told the
coach that he would try to get a referee
in 15 to 20 minutes. Time passed, but
no substitute referee ever showed up, and
the game was cancelled.
Utah State University soccer players
said they were upset about not playing.
"We are very upset that the referee did
not show up," said Justus Loyet, a Utah
State University soccer player. "We drove
16 hours to get to California." One Utah
player said, "The CSUSM players were
very cool. Our experience at CSUSM was
good until about an hour ago." Another
Utah player added, "Tell the CSUSM
soccer team that they are invited to go
play in Utah. The referees (in Utah) are
not good, but they are punctual."
"It happens," said Joseph Cafiefo,
captain of CSUSM men's soccer team,
referring to the referee's absence. "It is
the first time that has happened to us.
Technically we forfeit, b ut if it is not
reported it does not count."
According to Al-shafie, the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) is responsible
for contracting the referees for the soccer
games. After the incident, the coach spoke
with Susana Gonzalez, interim Executive
Director for ASI, and Brad Schmidt, ASI
Club Technician. Al-shafie said that neither he nor A SI knew what had happened.
ASI told Al-shafie that they would find
out what went wrong, and would update
him on Monday. The Pride contacted ASI
during the weekend for comments, but
was unable to obtain any information
from ASI before press time since their
offices are closed on weekends.
CSUSM men's soccer team, however,
continues to prepare for future games
and is still recruiting players. "There are
a couple of players who want to join.
We'll get them uniforms, so hopefully
they will join us," said Al-shafie.
"Whoever wants to come and join us
is free to do so. It is open for anybody
and you will share the experience of
the Cougars on the field," said Enrique
Refugio, a soccer player and junior studying psychology.
The next CSUSM soccer game is
against UC Santa Barbara on Oct. 7 at
Santa Barbara. Another game is scheduled for Oct. 9 against UCSD at 4 p.m.
on Mangrum Field, the date of the first
CSUSM homecoming celebration. "We
expect to win for sure, no excuses," said
Refugio.
Saturday, Sept. 22, the University
of Utah defeated the Cougars, 3-0. The
game against Pepperdine University on
Sept. 21 was cancelled. Al-shafie said
he hopes to reschedule the Pepperdine
game soon.

Thoughts on...
Friendship
Compiled by M. Addington
A man's friendships are one of
the best measures of his worth.
- Charles Darwin
The real test of friendship is: '
Can you literally do nothing
with the other person? Can you
enjoy together those moments
of life that are utterly simple?
They are the moments people
looks back on at the end of life
and number as their most sacred
experiences.
-Eugene Kennedy
Friends need not agree in everything or go always together,
or have no comparable other
friendships of the same intimacy. On the contrary, in friendship union is more about ideal
things: and in that sense it is
more ideal and less subject to
trouble than marriage is.
-George Santayana
A real friend is one who walks
in when the rest of the world
walks out.
-Walter Winchell
Peace Activism Sweeps Nation after Terrorist Attacks of Sept. 11
»Article cont. from pg 3
"enough people are connected in a crisis like this that
a very fast global response can
occur."
Other peace organizations
are also reaching out globally
through the Internet.
At the web page f or International A.N.S.W.E.R., (Act Now
to Stop War & End Racism),
hundreds of individuals, including former U.S. Attorney General
Ramsey Clark, James L afferty
of the National Lawyers Guild,
Green Party U.S.A., Wolfgang
Richter, the president for European Peace Forum in Germany,
and more, have signed up, declar-
ing their endorsement for peace.
A.N.S.W.E.R. also helped
organize a walk on Washington
that was held on Saturday. The
Washington Peace Center also
held a larger walk on Sunday.
The Associated Press reported
that police used pepper spray
to "control some protesters as
they passed the D.C. convention
center." It was also reported
that former president Bill Clinton
spoke out on behalf of freedom
of speech.
" 'This is America,' said Bill
Clinton. 'They are welcome to
say whatever they want to say . ..
If the f uture of the world in the
Middle East is what bin Laden
wants it to be, they would not
be able t o speak their mind,'"
reported the Associated Press.
Another
web
page,
Pax.Protest.net provides global
resources, such as web links to
every peace organization, and
updates on the events of organizations. For example, on Saturday activist alerts included a war
protest in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
and a peace vigil in London that
said they will be "gathering every
Tuesday and Saturday pleading
for a peaceful resolution."
Pax also provides information
and their reasoning for requesting peace. They state that their
"belief is that a non-military
response is the best strategy
for a permanent end to terror,
because . .. we can best ensure
peace, justice, and freedom
worldwide. Indiscriminate killings of Afghani citizens or other
innocent citizens of the globe
will achieve nothing but death,
and it is certain to inflame retaliation and even f urther terrorism-and it lowers us t o the level of
the terrorist attackers."
Also on the Internet are message board communications f rom
activists. Muto Ichyo, a longtime Japanese peace activist who
speaks on behalf of a Japanese
peace coalition, released a declaration against the U.S. war of
retaliation.
"We are encouraged by voices
coming f rom grieved New York
people, 'Peace, not revenge!' In
these voices we sense that many
in New York who experienced
the clashing calamity, now feeling war, bombing, and massive
violence close to them, find that
vengeance using overwhelming
military power and the show
of American force do not make
amends for their grief. Voices
against this war of vengeance are
rising f rom peace movements and
informed public of the United
States. They are rising everywhere in the world," said Ichyo.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
THAT ARE CLEAR AND CONCISE.

S tudents s upport U .S. a ctivity i n G ulf
Students at Cal State San Marcos feel that
the United States should continue its activity
in the Persian Gulf and that the primary reason
for American involvement in the region is to
stop Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from
gaining too much power.
These reactions were gaged in an unscientific anonymous poll by Pioneer of 39 students at CSUSM. The sample reflects about
6.5 percent of the population attending the
university.
Thirty-one of those sampled were women,
with the remaining eight responses coming
from men, accurately reflecting the gender
demographics of the campus. Of those
sampled, 16 were between the ages of 18-25;
10 were between the ages 26-32; seven were
between the ages 33-40, and the remaining six
were above 40 years-old.
Of those surveyed, only two felt that the
U.S. should no longer continue its activity in
the Persian Gulf. Two people held no opinion,
while the remainder of the students said the
U.S. should continue with its involvement. Of
the students who indicated that involvement
should continue, one said that forces should be
reduced.
Most of those polled felt that there were
multiple reasons for America's involvement
in the Persian Gulf.
Thirty-three responses indicated that the
U.S. became involved to stop Hussein from
gaining too much power. Twenty-five felt that
the U.S. was in the region to liberate Kuwait,
while only 23 felt that oil was the reason for
military presence.
One student said that the conflict in the
Middle East is an ego trip by world leaders.
The student said that this is an opportunity for
those leaders to test their military weapons.
Nineteen of those interviewed felt that the

six months, while the remaining 13 students
thought the war would last over one year with
six of those indicating the conflict would last
longer than two years.

Those that commented further on events
in the Middle East, expressed concerns about
protestations over the war e ffort One student
asked, "Where were the peaceniks when he

B udweiser d istributer
g ives l argest l ocal g ift
With a donation to help in the formation of a scholarship program at
Cal State San Marcos, Ken Markstein, president of Markstein Beverage Co. in San Marcos, has committed $100,000 to the university, making him the largest local contributor
to the university.
CSUSM President Bill Stacy announced the contribution January 23,
five days before the commencement
of the spring semester.
"It's a splendid thing that Mr.
Markstein has done," Stacy said. "To
receive such a strong voice of confidence from our neighbor in the community is a great thing. Particularly in
these difficultfiscaltimes,Mr. Markstein's generosity grants to us the
flexibility that provides excellence to
our students in North County."
The g ift from Markstein will be
awarded in increments over the next
10 years, with thefirst$10,000 check
endowing a scholarship program for
business students.
The second year?s check will endow related faculty enhancement for
the MBA program to be developed at
the university. Each year's donation
thereafter will alternate between funding student scholarships and faculty
enhancement.
Director of Financial Aid, Paul
Phillips, said that details regarding
the scholarships will be announced
later in the year. He said the contribution is an "absolutely wonderful"
addition to the Financial Aid program.
Bernard Hinton, founding faculty
professor of Business Management,
said in a written statement that the
endowment could strengthen ties to
the business community.
"TheCollegeof Business Administration is deeply committed to a close
working relationship with the North
County business community; we are
equally aware of our responsibility to
justify their faith in us," Hinton wrote.
"With the support of such community citizens as Ken, we expect to be
able to provide the quality education
the North County area desires and
deserves."
Markstein Beverage Co. is the
North C ounty d istributor f or
Budweiser Beer and other Anheiser
BusQh products.
The gift, which will be called The
Markstein Beverage Co. Scholarship
Program, is the largest contribution to
CSUSM to be made locally. It marks
the third largest endowment to date.
Earlier in the yfear, Bill Daniels, of
Daniels Cablevision in Denver, endowed $250,000 for the formation of
a chair in Communications. Most
recently, Itoman, a Japanese trading
finn, announced a $500,000donation
last September for the establishment
of an annual international festival.
Another $250,000 endowment, by
Allan O, Kelly of Carlsbad, was rejected by the college last fall following criticism from the academic
community. The Kelly endowment
would have helped form a chair in
Geology.
Markstein could not be reached for
comment as of press time, but Stacy
indicated that the donation was made
as a gesture of community support.
"He wanted to d o something as a
hometown guy to support our programs" he said.

(HSV)—labeled the "modern sexually transmitted diseases" by many. These viruses carry
the potential to cause serious illness, including
various cancers and death.
Specifically, HBV infection, for which if
there is no treatment, can lead to impaired liver
function, chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and
liver cancer. The severity of the disease ranges
from unapparent cases (with no recognizable
signs and symptoms) to a fulminating fatal
illness (rarely).
Usually, Hepatitis B patients have some mild

symptoms and occasionally jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), but
frequently are diagnosed as having a mild viral
infection or the so-called gastrointestinal flu.
Approximately 10 percent of patients will becomecarriers. Also, a certain numberof carriers
will develop chronic, active hepatitis which
leads to serious problems.
That brings us to the mode of transmission.
HBV causes 300,000 infections annually
and these occur primarily in young adults. Trans-

Yearbookcommitteemembersand
Cal State San Marcos administrators
are puzzled over the origin of survey
forms recently distributed around the
campus.
According to BarbaraPender, who
leads the student subcommittee on
the organization of a yearbook, the
survey questionnaire entitled, "Student Survey for First Class Yearbook,"
did not come from the yearbook staff.
In fact, says Pender, the survey contains questions that are too personal
for use in the forthcoming publication.
"We don't want to know who a
person's spouse is or what the spouse's
occupation is," said Pender. "We're
not going to make the yearbook a
personal biography."
At first Pender thought the survey
was placed by someone on the year*
book committee, but all members
denied drafting the questionnaire. She
then looked to the administration for
the source of the survey, but found no
answers there either.
"We thought, It's got to be someone within the system. The box where
the surveys were dropped had a logo
from the Staff Directory," said Pender.
Linda Leiter, secretary of Student
Services, said she has no idea from
where the survey came. Barbara Davis,
receptionist in the President's Office,
and Sandra Punch, coordinator of
Student Services at SDSU North
County and CSUSM, also were perplexed over the survey's origin.
"Itjustappeared,"saidPunch.Most
of the flyers that are distributed around
campus pass through Punch's office.
After finding no link between the
administration and the survey, Pender pulled all copies from the Student
Lounge and gave them to the Office
of Student Services.
Yearbook subcommittee member
Mary Parker said she saw a welldressed man in his forties place surveys in the Student Lounge last semester, but thought the survey was a
college-sanctioned document.
Pender and officials are also perplexed over a reference to the "Student Affairs Office" at the bottom of
the questionnaire. The official title
belonging to the department which
handles student activity is "Student
Services" and not "Student Affairs."
The survey is printed on a blue
stock paper similar to that found in the
university's copy rooms, but it was
written on a typewriter and not a
computer. The college uses computers for most of its document drafts.
Pender said shedoesn't believe the
survey was distributed out of malice,
but feels it could harm the reputation
of the yearbook committee.
"Because of this, the yearbook is
not going to be putting out surveys,"
cited Pender. "Why would anybody
go through such trouble—such cost—
to sabotage the yearbook?"
mission of the virus is by sexual exposure, blood
transfusions, needle exposure, and perinatal
exposure (in the pregnancy and birth process).
Among the college age population, Hepatitis
B virus is transmitted mainly through heterosexual activity with either a carrier or someone
who has the active disease.
What is new is that heterosexual activity as a
cause of HBV has increased 38 percent in the
last five years, accounting for 25 percent of the
cases of HBV, and replacing homosexual activity on importance as ariskfactor.
Heterosexual activity considered as highrisk for HBV infection includes duration of
sexual activity (years sexually active), number
of sexual partners, and history of other STDs.
As any/each of these risk factors increase, so
does theriskof acquisition of Hepatitis B virus
infection.
As a prevention strategy, "safer sex" helps
by the use of condoms and by decreasing the
number of sexual partners in order to reduce
exposure to infectious semen and vaginal secre-
tions. However, the HBV can be present in other
body fluids such as saliva so that intimate contact may be risky.
Vaccination of persons at highriskis the best
way to significantly decrease the incidence of
HBV in the college-age population.
Student Health Services through SDSU is
conducting an educational intervention that looks
at ways in which students receive information
about Hepatitis B and their need to receive the
HBV vaccine (at a reduced cost). If you think
you or a friend are atrisk,contact Health Services at Cal State San Marcos, SDSU North
County campus, 471-3578, to have your questions answered about your risk and how to
receive the HBV vaccine.

effects of caffeine consumption. Please submit

How students will view Cal State San Marcos' journalism program.
Times Advocate proposal
requires student approval
In early 1990, Cal State San Marcos invited entrepreneurs to
participate in the creation of this nation's first public university
in nearly a quarter century. The founders, and subsequent staff,
of Pioneer newspaper proudly accepted this offer. It's our
pleasure to have initiated the process of student publication.
The press is organic to a democratic society, and our staff
weighs its role accordingly. Likewise, it is gratifying to hear
from numerous students and staff commending our work.
In the interim, the Escondido based Times Advocate offered
a package deal to the budding campus. Their proposition, if
implemented, wouldrequire every Cal State San Marcos student
to subscribe to the Times Advocate newspaper as a condition to
attending school. In turn, the Times Advocate would enable the
founding of a College of Journalism through a combination of
capital and services support. The official school newspaper (not
the Pioneer) would be a mere insert in the Escondido daily.
This offer has met with widespread disappointment. Firstly,
the Times Advocate is proposing an exclusive service contract—spending student paid fees—so don't mistake this for
philanthropy. It is neither a corporate gift nor an endowment.
Secondly, Cal State San Marcos would be obligating its students to buy a private tabloid through the imposition of student
fees. This steals our freedom to make choices as consumers of
news. Furthermore, it puts the University in the position of
endorsing a private firm's services on an exclusive basis.
initially, it seems exciting to be the recipient of an entire
newsroom, even at the expenses stated. Unfortunately, the
greatest cost is unstated: the inevitable mediocrity that would
result from a journalism department shackled to a local daily.
The best journalism students will not attend a program that
directs its efforts to producing an insert anymore than the highly
talented would write for the Pennysaver. Likewise, the best
professors of the trade would be reluctant to teach for a department that depends on a private enterprise for its continued
existence.
Certainly it would be the first time that Cal Sate San Marcos
steers itself to less than excellence in any endeavor.
The most perplexing—and reprehensible— situation, however, is not the Time Advocate's behavior. Private firms should,
rationally, do everything possible to increase their value, and it
is not my purpose to condemn them f or trying.
On the contrary,

cate's offer in
light of their previous handling of a much less offensive offer
of a Geology chair.
In that instance, the donor requested that his theories be
tested, presumably by the scholar he sought to subsidize.
Ultimately, President S tacy scrubbed the idea in the interest of
academic integrity.
An inconsistency is apparent in the responses of an academic community that until now religiously promoted the
tenants of political correctness. When an individual tries to
"buy" a testing ground for his scientific theories, it is taboo to
the purists. However, when a firm attempts to create and
dictate the operations of a whole school of journalism, the
overall reaction is indifference.
Obviously we share our path with hypocrites.
Perhaps most outrageous is the fact that the voice of student
government—the Student Governance Task Force, and its
subcommittees—is being ignored. In November of 1990, the
Newspaper Subcommittee,charged by Student Services Dean
Ernest Zomalt to formulate recommendations for an official
school paper, rejected the Times Advocate proposal.
Surprisingly, this conclusion was not the basis for further
action by the Administration.
I urge the University Council to relinquish student newspaper decisions to the student government I further beg of the
University administration to act consistently by sticking to
precedent and rejecting any and all offers that are less than a
gift.
If Cal State San Marcosexpects to recruit entrepreneurs, it
must be sure that the reward of recognition is the prize of the
truly giving.

Sick? Outrageous? Disgusting? Definitely. But look at the
failure of lesser measures.
Almost 2500 years ago, Lysistrata, the heroine of Aristophanes' play of the same name, attempted to stop war by uniting
all the women of Athens. These wives of Greek soldiers withheld
sex from their husbands until the latter agreed to never fight again.
Looking at the evening news, it obviously didn't work.
Lysistrata, and all women throughout the millenia, have failed
to recognize one important f act We men prefer making war to
making love.
Perhaps it's testosterone poisoning. This hormone gives men
greater physical strength and also appears to trigger aggressive
behavior.
Perhaps i t's environmental. Men have been raised with the
belief that anger is the only socially acceptable emotion. Probably
it's a combination of both.
But whatever the cause of the problem, the destruction of the
world can only be reversed by women uniting and reclaiming their
power. And I'm not referring to the women's movement.
The Gloria Allreds and Steinems of the world, well-intentioned
as they are, have contented themselves with seeking financial and
political equality with males. This is as absurd as a cheetah seeking
genetic equality with a snail because it envies the glittering slime
traiHt makes on a sidewalk.
Face it, ladies. We men are on the verge of destroying the only
planet you've got. There are no suburbs to flee to this time.
Only a revolution by all the women of the world has any chance
to save the human species. Too long have you been the mourners
and nurses for the dead and dying. Too long have you deferred
your power to male-dominated misinterpretations of the Bible,
Koran and Torah.
They say the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Modern
Iraq, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers,is ancient Mesopotamia, "the cradle of civilization."
We men are now rocking that cradle with bombs, oil spills and
ego-terrorism of the worst kind.
If you women don't shed your meekness along with your veils
and feminine deodorant spray, and reclaim your God-given power
as giversoflife, your only legacy will be the stench of a dead ocean
and dying earth spreading from here to eternity.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
t> 4JJ v jtttfi U l l / l l
The other day I met asoldier in line at the grocery store. Dressed in combat fatigues, he looked
tired and uneasy.
He told me he had just arrived back home,
from the Persian Gulf. When I asked him what
it was like to be in the Middle East during the
conflict, he said nothing. The look of weariness
on his face told all I needed to know.
"Isn't it great to be back home," I asked.
"Could be better," he said. He motioned to
the television set in the store's lobby, playing
the latest war coverage. Vietnam veteran Ron
Kovic sat in a wheelchair leading thousands of
demonstrators through San Francisco.

the homefront. Therightto protest in the United
States is a fundamental and necessary component to the system of democracy in which we
live. But we, as Americans, must realize that
protestation can be more damaging to our soldiers than enemy fire.
Ron Kovic, of all people, should realize this
fact. When he left Vietnam with crippling injuries, he came home to rains of spit rather than
confetti. In one of the San Francisco demonstrations, which he led two weeks ago, 1,000 protestors were arrested. In fact, more people were
arrested during that demonstration than any

during the Vietnam War.
Where were the protestors when Hussein
forcefully took over Kuwait? In this action can
truly be found a reason for protest:
It is one thing to hold prayer vigils and tie a
yellow ribbon for the troops oversees, it is
another thing to clog the streets of a major city
with unruly and completely counterproductive
demonstrations.
Nobody but a madman would revel in the
muck of war. Unfortunately the world contains
one such lunatic by the name of Saddam Hussein.
His unprovoked attacks against Israel—a
nation which originally chose to stay removed
from the conflict—are nothing less than sadistic. Protestors tread heavily on the memory of
those Israelis lost in senseless SCUD attacks.
His dumping of millions of gallons of oil into
the Persian Gulf is nothing less than environmental terrorism. Protestors do nothing but
muddy the environment of global awareness by
giving credence to a man who has little concern
for the world around him.
His occupation of Kuwait is nothing less
than dictatorial. Protestors disregard therightof
an oppressed nation to share the same freedoms
of speech and protest that they are exercising.
War did not push Hussein into performing
these actions. He instigated them because he is
sociopathic. Our soldiers are there to lessen a
madman's control over an important corner of
the world.
Nobody dislikes war more than those who
are employed by the government to fight i t
When they come home from work they deserve
to be treated to warmth and kindness and not to
the unmeaningly cold messages of protestors.
Those who fight Hussein in the Gulf may not
be fighting a just war (since there is no such
thing as a just war), but they are fighting a
necessary war. Now more than ever they need
our unflappable support. Hussein wishes for a
disjointed America and tides of protestation
bring waves of division.
It must be remembered that the conflict in the
Gulf is not a mirror image of Vietnam. This
conflict is more akin to a war fifty years ago
where another madman sought control of the
world. Our soldiers then were treated with the
respect they deserved and earned. Our soldiers
now should receive the same treatment.
If you want to rally against the soldiers
overseas, then put your protest signs and your
love beads in the back of your psychedelic VW
van and groove on back to the 60s where your
exploits will be appreciated.

Students stress to President importance of their opinions
Dear President Stacy:
One of the things remembered from our orientation last summer is your explanation of how
this university was going to be different. With
you as its leader, CSUSM was going to develop
into an institution where the students' interests
came first; for, as you stated, without the students there would be no need for faculty and
administration.
The first day of classes began with instructors who were extremely enthusiastic about the
different outlook that this administration had
compared with what they had encountered at
other colleges. Each professor emphasized the
open policy where the student was of primary
importance.
As the semesterprogressed it was easy to see
that indeed this was a different school. Classes
became like families, with classmates quickly
becoming as close as cousins. Each of the courses
offered lively discussions where concepts were
not only taught by the professors but discovered
by the students as well.
Sitting in the Student Lounge and listening to
students from all fields of study, one never
heard words of complaint about the quality of
instruction. There were many complaints about
too much homework, as would be expected, but
there was no talk about not taking an instructor
because he/she couldn't teach.
CSUSM was developing into just the university you had predicted. It was a university where
education and the student really mattered.
As the semester drew to a close, we noted
that some of our professors were not promoting
their next semester's classes. When we asked
what they would be teaching, we found that,
since they were only part time, they didn't know
if they would be back or not.
Worried that the "powers that be" in the
administration may not know how we students
felt about our "temporary" professors, we made
an appointment with the appropriate administrator to express our concern. We told that
administrator that those part-time instructors
were among the best that higher education had
to offer.
The administrator suggested that we send in

letters of evaluation. We were assured that these
letters would be copied and seht to the offices of
the people who made the choices of whether or
not to retain the instructors. So we sent the
letters.
The next week evaluation sheets were sent to
classes. There is little question that our instructors received glowing assessments.
Can you imagine how shocked and let down
we were to find that few of those tremendous
instructors were returning?
We recognize that it is the university's option to retain or dismiss part-time faculty, but
we also feel that the opinions of the student
population should be at least considered and not
simply brushed aside. We feel impotent in our
ability to help this college plant a solid foundation on which the education of generations to
come will be built.
We have great confidence that the new instructors chosen are of the utmost competence;
however, we are reluctant to adopt them as our
mentors if they are only to pass with the changing semesters.
Dr. Stacy, we realize that you are not directly
responsible for what has occurred, yet we send
a plea to you, as this university's highest authority , to once again stress to your administrators
the importance of student opinion and the tragedy which occurs when it is ignored. We only
ask that the students' point of view be considered as much as it is at other institutions of
higher education.

PERSIAN GULF UPDATE
At 4:37 p .m. PST on January 16, America sat mesmerized as bombs began to drop on the Iraqi capital of
Baghdad. The global community suddenly became
smaller as Cable News Network brought the first live
reports of the war in the Persian Gulf from Bernard
Shaw, John Holliman and Peter Arnett. The world's first
prime time war had begun.
Pizza franchises yielded record delivery sales, and
retail stores became like mortuaries as Americans gave
the war the attention of a Super Bowl game.
CNN rocketed to an 11 percent rating share (10.9
percentage points above regular ratings) and became the
primary source of Gulf news'in an instant.
Since the first bombs hit Iraq, the world waits with
anxiety for the next moves in a multi-billion dollar game
of chess.
We've watched as SCUD missiles hit Tel Aviv, and
Patriot missiles hit the SCUDS.
We've seen pictures of battered and bruised hostages.
We've witnessed an oil spill twelve times larger than
that created in the Exxon Valdez accident and cheered as
the source of the leakage was stopped.
We've been stunned when Iraq took over the Saudi
village of Khafji and our hearts grieved when 11 Camp
Pendleton Marines lost their lives to friendly fire there.
But most of all we've been confused.
With the volumes of information about the war that
comes daily, the public looks for some kind of order
among the mayhem. What will happen next is anybody's
guess, and nobody's knowledge.

One of the most shocking casualties of war came when Iraqi president
Saddam Hussein dumped millions of
gallons of Kuwaiti crude into the
Persian Gulf. The spill was eleven
times larger than the 1989 spill created when the Exxon tanker, Valdez,
hit a reef off the coast of Alaska.
President Bush called the action
by Hussein a "sick action from a

the flow of oil into the gulf by using
allied forces.

Missiles have paid a large part in the early war events. More than 50
types of tactical missiles and precision-guided munitions have been deployed on aircraft, ships and ground units in the Persian Gulf War, providing troops with the mainstay of their firepower so far.
The missiles depend on mechanical and electronic guidance systems
including radar, infrared sensors, inertial measuring units, television
cameras, terrain following devices,

C HEMICAL W EAPONS
Chemical weapons are considered the poor man's atom bomb. These
deadly weapon systems can be constructed by many of the world's nations today. Theycan beplacedon 1960s-vintage missile, widely available on the arms market, in a chemical warhead made from readily
available chemicals.
There are severalchemicals used in warheads. Some of those chemicals and their reactions are listed below:
• Cyanide and other blood agents: When inhaled, it blocks the
blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. It can cause eye irritation, choking
and sometimes death.
• Chlorine and phosgene: These chemicals burn the lining of the
lungs. When plasma leaks into the lungs from the bloodstream, victim's
drown in their own fluids.
• M ustard Gas and other Blistering Agents: Can cause vomiting,
nausea, skin irritation and blistering, eye-irritation and short-term blindness. It can be lethal in large amounts.
• Nerve Gas: Nerve gas can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
It attacks the nervous system and is highly toxic; this gas can kill in 15
minutes.
Total isolation from the chemical agent is the only protection. U.S.
soldiers use a two piece suit with special boot covers and gloves. A
chemical mask and hood are used to protect the head.
Different kinds of masks are used in different nations, the U.S.
military offers three different types:
• M17 A1 is used by the infantry, it has small eyelets. The filter,
inside the cheek pouch of the mask, is good for about 24 hours before
filling with dust.
• M43 is used in helicopters. It allows Apache pilots, in particular,
to wear their special sighting system gear and the mask at the same time.
The M43 also is attached to the ventilator which blows in fresh air.
• M25 A1 is used by tanks and armored vehicles. It is similar to the
M17 and is also connected to a breathing unit. It has a wider face cover
than the M17 so that the vehicle operators have far better visibility.
Ideally, masks are fitted to the individual wearer to avoid readjustment in the 13 seconds required for putting them on. Masks are put on
like catchers' masks, then attached by four straps. A wearer needs to
blow into the canister to clear it, then breathe normally.

"Look at those guys! Haven't I
seen them around campus somewhere?" No, your eyes are not misleading you, The Jazz group playing
at noon in the Student Lounge today,
is in fact made up of University students and employees.
Bob Boss, John "Ironman" Harris
and Gunnar B iggs make up the North
County university community's own
jazz trio. The members of the group
have known each other for years
throughout the jazz circuit, but had
never played together as a group until
they ran into each other on campus.
The Uni versity Jazz Trio, so named
in aSan Diego State University, North
County newsletter, first came about
when Biggs walked into the Aztec
Shops last September and saw Boss
and Harris working. "We have a trio
right here," he exclaimed.
Biggs approached the "powers that
be" and and found them to be enthusiastic about the idea. Pat Hinkle came
up with the sponsorship for the group
and the University Jazz Trio was born.
In fall they played the Student
Lounge at the beginning of the semester and in the parking lot at end of the
first semester's festivities.
"Music is a combination of melody, harmony , and rhythm," disclosed
Boss. "Jazz, first takes the melody
which is whistleable, then adds harmony which colors it and gives it
shape and last the rhythm which holds
it all together." He went on to explain
that jazz is made up of theme and

2* 'The Russia House'
Sean Connery, Michelle Pfeifer,
an intelligent script and scenic Russia
all combine forces to create the most
compelling spy thriller in recent history. This one makes you think as
well as entertains.
3 . 'Awakenings'
The most unlikely combination of
hyper-intense comic Robin Williams
and very serious dramatic actor Robert
DeNiro creates an emotional look at
life—something we all take for
granted. Williams should walk away
with an Oscar this time for a convincing portrayal of a doctor so absorbed
in his work that he almost missed out
on what life's all about.
4.'Mountains of the Moon'
This sweeping saga tells the true
story of two explorers looking for the
source of the Nile in deepest Africa.
The film is notable for the brilliant
performances of Patrick Bergin (soon
to be seen with JuliaRoberts in 'Sleeping with the Enemy') andFiona Shaw.
5. 'Hamlet'
Yes, i t's true. Mel Gibson can do
Shakespeare. He's a riveting force as
the self-destructive Hamlet. Glen
Close, brilliant as usual, plays the role
of his mother, Gertrude.
6 . 'Goodfellas'
Mel Gibson as Hamlet.
Ray Liotta puts in a strong performance in a movie that cuts so close
to the heart of the Italian mafia that
they took offense. JocPesci and Robert
DeNiro also run away with their respective roles.
7. 'Ghost'
This ultimate love story stars Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore with
Whoopi Goldberg thrown in for comic
relief. This film touched the heart of
America in such a big way, it deserves
mention.
8. 'Reversal of Fortune'
Jeremy Irons is positively devious
as the enigmatic Klaus von Bulow,
who was acquitted of causing his
wife's coma through an injection of
insulin. Kudos to Run Silver as his
defense attorney Who is not sure what
to make of his weird client.
9. 'Presumed Innocent'
Scott Turrow's novel is intelligently adapted to the screen for a look
at a man's portrayal and the inner
workings of politics in a district attorney's office. Harrison Ford is solid,
but Bonnie Bedelia runs away with
the movie as Ford's bitter wife.
10. 'Postcardsfrom the Edge'
Carrie Fisher proves that she's not
justanother Princess Leia. Her simple,
but eloquent screenplay reveals Hollywood life through actress Suzanne
Vale (Meryl Streep) and her famous
singing mother (Shirley MacLaine).
