Historic power outage affects millions
Jenna Jauregui
Co-Editor-in-Chief
A hush fell over Cal State San
Marcos last Thursday as every
air conditioner, fluorescent light,
and computer abruptly stopped
working. The campus went dark
around 3:30 p.m. when a highvoltage power line between Arizona and Southern California
failed, leaving 1.4 million San
Diego Gas and Electric customers suddenly without power.
T he unprecedented outage affected millions o f people from
Mexico to Orange County to parts
o f Arizona. All electricity users,
including stores, gas stations,
schools, offices and residences
were completely without power.
Traffic gridlocked throughout the
county as people tried to navigate
the lightless intersections. Due to
the initial mystery behind the outage_, the high volume o f commut-
ers and crippled safety resources,
county authorities declared the
situation a local emergency.
Because the sudden loss o f
p ower affected such a massive
area and occurred just before the
lOth anniversary o f 9/11, many
people were afraid the outage
may have been a result o f another terrorist attack. S DG&E
confirmed otherwise in a press
statement released on Friday.
" The p ower outage began with
a major transmission outage in
western Arizona that caused a loss
o f power to southern California.
Shortly afterward, the S an Onofre
Generating Station went o ff line.
As a resuJt, SDG&E did not have
adequate resources on its system
to keep power on across its service
territory," SDG&E officials said.
S DG&E announced at about
3:30 a.m. Friday morning that
power had been restored to many
o f its customers. C SUSM and San

million, according to the National

still investigating the reasons behind the widespread power loss.

Game3
The Cal State San Marcos women's soccer team is no stranger to
amazing success on the field.
Last year, the team ended its
regular season with a 10-2-5 record. Five players were selected
to play for the A.I.I. Women's
Soccer All-Conference Team
with head coach, Ron Pulvers,
named Coach o f the Year. The
new season started on a high note
as the NAIA announced in early
September that the lady Cougars were ranked 15th in the nation. Game after game, the team
proved what CSUSM women's
soccer is all about..
Again, playing another game
only three days later, the lady
Cougars faced off in Fresno
against Fresno Pacific. At first,
the game was a toss up with both
teams evenly matched. At the
start o f the second half, the Cougars came off the bench hungry
for a goal to keep their undefeated streak alive. Only minutes into
the second half, freshman Courtney Kay scored 1he games only
goal after Fresno's keeper lost the
ball during a free kick from just
outside the box by Shannon Cox.
Kay's goal was icing on the cake
as she celebrated her birthday and
kept the Cougars at a solid 3-0
start.

The season kicked off with
an impressive 4-0 win verses
Point Park. Last season's leading
scorer, senior Lauren Johnson,
opened the 2011-2012 season just
sixteen minutes into the game
with a goal o ff a c omer kick. The
Cougars managed to score three
o f its four goals before the end o f
the first half.
Game2
Playing only two days later, the
women's soccer team managed to
scrape by with a 1-0 win versus
Biola. The Cougars were outshooting Biola 14-8 but were not
able to convert until midfielder
Arielle Cohen took a free kick in
the fifty-fifth minute o f the game.

an interesting t urn for the Cougar's undefeated season when
both teams walked away with a

When The CSUSM women's
volleyball players hit the courts
for practice in !-lunter gymnasium,
the pride o f representing San Marcos will be the team's main drive
to push them through all o f the
hard work in its inaugural season.
Cal State San Marcos announced last fall that the athletic
department would be adding
women's volleyball to the university's growing list o f sports offerings. The team was slowly starting to commit players and a coach
before the start o f the fall season.
The young team, made up o f ten
freshmen, one sophomore, and
five juniors, will play all home
games at the Escondido High
School gyni until a larger Gymnasium can be built on campus.
" It is going to be a little hard
to play home games off campus, but it's also amazing to
think that Escondido supports us
enough to let us use their gym,"
freshman Tayler Gomez said.
One player does admit that
being a part o f a first-year team
and juggling class work does
occasionally come with some
pressure. "Becaus~ student athletes are such a small group on
campus, we really want to prove
that we can represent both the
student athletes and the school,"
sophomore Rachel Quam said.
Quam also reflected that even
though they are athletes, "school
work comes first. We truly
are students before athletes."
As their season enters week
four, the players are starting
to settle in on campus and find
their niche on the team. "We
have been focusing a lot on
team building, and I think we
have finally meshed as a team,"
freshman K iki Atuatasi said.
The most memorable achievements for the team have been their
25-22, 25-22, 12-25 scores, A
couple o f highlights include a 2523, stunning win over the number-one ranked Fresno Pacific as
well as a win over the number
seven ranked Lewis-Clark State.
The CSUSM W6men's Volleyball
team currently holds a record o f
13-5 and is set to play their first
home game o f the season at Escondido High School today at
8 p.m. vs. San Diego Christan.

Through the team's tough
0-3 start, Cal State San Marcos
men's soccer haS been unable
to catch a break. That changed
in the second half o f Monday's
game at Westmont, when the
Cougars were able to take advantage o f two miscues by the home
team and win the match 4-2.
CSUSM improves to 1-3 on
the year with the much-needed
victory. Westmont drops to 0-4.
Playing their final game at the
Westmont Heritage Club Classic to~ament, Coach Ron Pulvers' Cougars came out looking
to make a statement, and did so
almost immediately. Just one
minute into the game, a shot by
Alex Rodriguez was stopped
by the Westmont keeper, but
Scott Rice was able to punch in
the rebound for his first .career
CSUSM goal and the first goal
o f the season for the Cougars.
Rice was not content with one,
however: I n the 15th minute, AllConference midfielder Jake Kai-
ser served in a dangerous ball from
30 yards out, connecting with Rice
who headed it past the keeper.
Up 2-0 at the 15-minute mark,
the Cougars were riding high but were quickly reminded that
nothing thus far this s~ason has
come easy. In the 22nd minute,
a foul call on the edge o f the box
gave Westmont a penalty kick,
which was converted to make it
2-1. Westmont would tie it in the
34th minute on a goal from Emmanuel Akyen, capitalizing on a
stretch o f play in which CSUSM
was frankly a bit lucky to escape from without being behind.
But the second half would belong to the Cougars. Adjusting
to the super-direct style o f play
that served Westmont so well
late in the first half, Coach Pulvers directed his team to start
pressuring the back line to shut
down the long passes that had
been hurting CSUSM. The adjustment worked brilliant, as
not only did the Cougars tilt the
run o f play back in their favor,
they pounced on two mistakes
by Westmont's inexperienced
defense to score a pair o f goals.
In the 61st minute, a lazy pass
back to the keeper was picked
off by a very alert Eric Lopez,
who buried his first goal as a
Cougar to put his side up 3-2.
Another first-time goal scorer,
Sullivan Tobin, would ice the
match in the 85th minute, intercepting a pass on the back line and
striking a wonderful shot into the
comer o f the net from 25 yards out
to put CSUSM up 4-2 and close
the door on the team's first win.
K iki Castro picked up the win
in net for CSUSM, making a couple key. saves when the match
was 2-2 to preserve the victory.

Ways to s ave t his s emester
Ashley Day
Co-Editor-in-Chief
With America's current stale
economy, rising Cal State tuition,
expensive parking and skyrocketing gas prices, students need
to save as much cash as possible
this semester. Here are tips on
ways to save on textbooks, one
o f the hardest hitting expenses o f
college life.
R ent y our textbooks
Websites such as Chegg.com
and ecampus.com allow students
to rent their textbooks for a lower
price than purchasing the textbook. Chegg.com's mission statement is to save students money
and keep the cost o f textbooks to
a minimum. Also, renting books
allows the student to pick the
timeframe they want to keep the
textbook. The less time the book
is kept, the less it costs.
A mazon.com
Amazon offers a cheap marketplace for buying and selling textbooks. College students may sign
up for Amazon Student, which the
website reads "free two-day shipping for six months with Amazon
Prime shipping benefits, as well
as exclusive offers via e-mail."
Amazon also allows students to
a e mo
sell back their textbooks at the
end o f the semester, by signing up
as an Amazori seller. Students can
gain back a portion o f the money
they used to purchase the book.
Interlibrary Loan
Many students do not know
about interlibrary loans. I f you
go to biblio.csusm.edu or library.
csusm.edu (they are the same
website), there is a link on the
right column to sign up for the
interlibrary loan service. Students
can sign up for the service for
free using their campus ID and
password, then librarians search
through the San Diego library circuit to find i f other libraries carry
the book you requested. This usually works for novels assigned for
class, and the book is shipped to
your house in approximately less
than a week.
Course Reserves
Ask your professor i f they put
any o f the required course materials on course reserve. I f they did,
you many go into the third floor
o f the library and check out the
textbook for two hours. Students
are not permitted to leave the library with the book, but you may
copy the pages using a print card
on any floor o f the library. This is
a great option i f your professor
only assigned· a couple pages or
chapters o f the book . .
Share with a
classmate/friend
Save money by
splitting the cost
o f the book with
a classmate or
friend. Most people are happy to
share textbooks
with other students, i f they
are strapped for
cash.
I f you need
assistance
in
getting any required
course
mateials, talk to
your professor in
office hours; most
o f the time, your
professor
can
help you devise a
way to get what
you need.

There are several services the
LGBTQA Pride Center offers to
C SUSM students. One is education and free testing for IDV. To~
day, Sept. 13, at noon, the Vista
Community Clinic will hold their
presentation about t he disease
and give tips o n prevention o f
spreading it. The clinic returns
on Thursday, Sept. 15, for free
screenings from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Both events occur at the Pride
Center, Commons 201.
T hough scientists created many
medical breakthroughs over time,
disease and illness is a normal
part o f h uman life. While mv
(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is not as widespread in the
United States as in other countries that are heavily affected,
there are a number o f new cases
in the country e very year. The
California for AIDS Research,
Education and Services (CARES)
reported in 2 009, S an Diego
County had confirmed 4008 cases, the third highest number o f
mv cases in the state. Los Angeles held the highest with 14,099
cases and S an Francisco followed
with 5,212 cases. With the help
o f educational talks and testing,
those nunibers can decrease in the
near future.
According to Keyatta P arker
and Gustavo Aguirre, health educators from the Vista Cqmmunity
Clinic, the t est is a simple and
non-invasive process. I t takes 2040 m.iDutes, a nd all information is
kept confidential. After filling_
out health forms., participating
students are given a kit with materials to swab the inside o f their
mouth. I t is a painless procedure
and is done in a private room inside the Pride Center. A fter thl(
waiting period, the administrator
hands· the student the results and
counseling and consultation are
available, i f the student needs
them.
" The goal is to normalize the [IDV] test,"
said Gustavo Aguirre.
A standard l llV test
involves drawing
blood and weeks o f
waiting for results.
Thanks to the program, more people
can be screened at
convenient locations
and times using the
painless oral swab test.
The program with
the Pride C enter first
started in March
2010. According

Fall semester at C al State San
Marcos signals a prime recruiting
period for Greek organizations as
new students look for ways to be
involved on campus. When deciding which fraternity o r sorority to
"rush," students should research
the history, requirements, and
standards o f e ach organization.
C SUSM recognizes three sororities (Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Chi
Om~ga, and Alpha X i Delta), and
two fraternities (Zeta Beta Tau and
S igma Alpha Epsilon). According
to a 2 008 memo from Student L ife
and Leadership Director. Dilcie
Perez, the fraternity Tau Kappa
Epsilon ( 'fKE) is no longer recognized on the CSUSM campus.
Alpha P i Sigma (.AIU:) is a
Latina based sorority. Its website, alphapisigma.org, states
its mission is " to unite and support women to advance academically ai:J.d professionally."
Alpha Chi O mega (AXO) is a
sorority dedicated to developing
" smart, compassionate, makea-difference women," according to alphachiomega.org. This
sorority makes a strong ·commitment to "academics, community service and leadership."
Alpha X i D elta (A3~) is a sorority with a vision: "inspiring
women to realize their potential." Its website, alphaxidelta.
org, states the organization's
commitment to developing its
members strengths and talents
within the sorority's sisterhood.
Zeta Beta Tau ( ZBn is " the
n ation's first Jewish fraternity," according to zbt.org. I t
is " open to all men o f good
character" and seeks to help its
members develop "intellectual
awareness, social responsibility, integrity and brotherly love."
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (~AE)
is a fraternity that touts the message " be true." Its website, sae.
net, states that the organization helps its members "fulfill
their educational aspirations and
goals," a nd promotes· programs
that teach "leadership, scholarship, and personal development."
Students can discover many
opportunities by joining a G reek
organization. C SUSM is proud to
host these fraternities and sorority chapters, but students must
remember to always be safe and
legal when representing their organization. H students have questions o r concerns regarding any
campus organization's activities,
they should contact Student Life
and Leadership (csusm.edu!sll).

Diegan, hence the Chargers are my favorite football team. My
indulgences are drinking tons o f coffee, getting my nails done,
fashion and anything French. I love the Victorian Era and Roarin' 20§ parts o f history. I look forward taking The Pride along in
a new direction this year and hope that more students, faculty and
staff enjoy and support our paper. Good luck on this semester!

I s ee heartbreak and heartache and yet I still linger for more.! crave
adventure, whether it be exploring a haunted forest at night or spending a day at
Disneyland. I 'm a thinker, a listener and a reader. I will get lost in a book; in the
me and definitely
pages o f someone else's mind. I have big dreams, bigger
bigger than any realist. Music speaks to me in a tone that no one else can. I can
give you all the advice in the world. but taking it, myself. is an obstacle I have
yet to overcome. I am fascinated by movieS and the way someone can literally
make their vision come to life astonishes me. I am a night owl and not a morning
person, but I love being awake early. I am a human IMDb and a contradiction.
More importantly: I write. Ernest Hemingway once said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit at
a typewriter and bleed." I bleed a lot. I 'm Melissa.

San Marcos and I major in Biology with a minor in Psychology. I joined the Pride newspaper as a volunteer artist and writer in spring 2010. "Student A" is the comic series I make for
the paper. It features some o f the quirks o f university life using
my fictional characters. One o f my dreams is to own my euphonium. Feel free to google it if you do not know what it is.

Most Americans ·remember
exactly where they were when
the towers fell in New York 10
years ago. The 9/11 attacks on
the World Trade Center in 2001
became the Pearl Harbor o f the
millennia! g eneration- America
watched and listened in shock
as the news coverage revealed
the devastation and horror.
On Sept. 12,2011, the
United States declared war, targeting the Afghanistan-based leader
group,
Osama Bin Laden.
Oct. 8, 2001 marked the
beginning o f President
Bush's "War on Terror."
A generation o f fresh veterans was born from this decision as young people saw
an opportunity to serve their
t ry ,
" I saw a need for medics,"
Navy Corpsman Mark Mallare,
a Cal State San Marcos student
veteran and kinesiology major,
said. "There were many opportunities in medicine after 9/11.
There were so many trauma patients that needed to be cared for."
Another opportunity that appealed to America's new military recruits was the new GI
Bill, which was revised after the
9/11 disaster to include more
benefits for those who serve.
Signed into law in July o f 2008,
the Post-9/11 GI Bill, or GI Bill
2.0, created a "new robust education benefits program rivaling
the WWII era GI Bill o f Rights,"
according to an overview o f the
bill at military.com/education.
The bill's benefits apply to "servicemembers who have served
on active duty for 90 or more
days since Sept. 10, 200 l ," and
are "tiered based on the number
o f days served on active duty."
Several revisions to this bill
came into effect in August 2011.
revisions include
full coverage o f
tuition and
public schools, including gradu~
ate training. I n addition, Students
may be reimbursed for national
exams such as the SAT, as well as
tests for licensing and certification. Some unfortunate changes
include the end o f " preak pay,"
which means students will not
receive monthly payments for
housing or other needs during semester breaks in the school term.
The Veterans Center at CSUSM
(c susm . edu/outreach/VeteransServices) exists to help student
veterans understand how to obtain these benefits as well as offer
a safe and friendly environment
that promotes camaraderie between military branches. Mallare,
who works in the Veterans Center, said he wanted to help people
in the same way people helped
him when he started at CSUSM.
"We give students peace o f
.mind and assist students with
their paperwork," he said. The
center offers computers, a friendly staff, and a television for students who just want to unwind
and hang out. "We are also looking to start a lending library t()
help students with their textbook
needs," Amber Bouge, who also
works in the Veterans Center, said.

F reedom o f t he p ress
I mportance o f m edia t ransparecy p ost 9 -11
As I sat down to write this article, I expected to offer commentary on the American media's
coverage o f the events o f 9/11.
The vast and varied ways that
television, film and print journalism told the story o f the attacks
made for extremely compelling
capsules o f information that still
have relevance all o f 10 years
later.
Within that commentary, I expected to be critical o f the media;
I wanted to explain why revealing the president's location on
9/11 and airing footage o f people
jumping out o f the World Trade
Center buildings was beyond the
responsibility o f media.
The more I considered the
subject, however, I uncovered a
different angle to this type o f response (which is rather common
among those who e xpress
an opinion, it seems). W h i 1e
many sought to criticize
the media for their ~- c o m prehensive c-overage
o f the
day's events, others
understood the
i ntent
p ortreal-
importance within a free society.
This concept o f "media transparency" is an irrefutable asset
to the American public. Should
the media cover up events in order to maintain an advanced state
o f public order or government
secrecy, the concept o f freedom
would cease to exist as fast as
true journalism would. Media, as
a service to the public, preserves
transparency so it may preserve
freedom.
All media outlets, from the
largest metropolitan newspaper
to the local dailies, have got toreport the whole truth. For the years
that I have been with The Pride,
I have experienced the good, the
bad and the ugly that comes with
covering events that happen on
campus. True journalism seeks
the whole story and reveals it accurately and ethically.
Journalists often feel confused
or threatened by the concept of
revealing sensitive or controversial information, but those in the
business o f reporting truth must
do just that.
As the editor of the Opinion
section, I encourage the students,
staff, faculty and community to
report truths by writing Letters
to the Editor ad-
readers
deem
important and
worthy o f exploration. Our
small staff o f

We all know what it's like to be
i n college with an empty wallet
after paying for books that cost
more than a car payment, tuition
that grows every time we check
our email and non-stop visits to
Chipotle and Chick-fil-A. So,
having fun somewhere without
having to ask mom and dad for
money is an offer no one can resist.
For those who rely on the
Sprinter to get from point A to
B; adventures in San Marcos
are hardly far. For some outdoorsy adventures, taking a stroll
through Jack's Pond located at
986 La Moree Road is a great
place to do homework, relax
and soak in the rays. The peaceful scenery and the sounds o f
nature can offer a place to kick
back and enjoy life or finish up
lab reports and next week's essay .
For those who are not familiar with ·the area, Balboa Park is
perfect way to get a taste o f true
southern California culture. The
tourist attraction offers beautiful
scenery to enjoy throughout the
day and it's perfect for snapping
photos for memories to frame
forever. Carousels, mini railroads
and museums galore are some o f
the attractions visitors are able
to choose from. The park gives
you the opportunity to have fun
exploring trails without burning
a hole in your wallet. Balboa is
perfect destination, whether it be
on a romantic night out or a day
with your family. Located just
40 minutes from CSU San Marcos, Balboa Park is a great place
to get away for the day and relax
while experiencing the beauty that San Diego has to offer.
