In the constant push of
progress and technology, new
innovations sprout up and old
ways die hard. At CSUSM,
Webmail is sprouting up and
Netscape Navigator Messenger
is dying hard.
In a recent move toward
convenience, Academic
Computing Services has
declared yet another casualty
in the technology sprint. "We
are going to have to phase
out Netscape Messenger," stated Teresa Macklin, Director of
Academic Computing
Services, "Netscape's new version is really different for
users and requires major modifications to the current configuration."

CSUSM's ASI sponsors a

team. The men's team, ranked
second in the CarlsbadOceanside Division II League,
belongs to the National
Intramural Recreational Sport
Association (NIRSA), and has
played against campuses such
as CSU Long Beach and
Pepperdine University.
Gonzalez reports that
"Presently, the women's soccer
team still needs 15 committed
women in order to begin practices." Ideally new players
would be freshmen or sophomores so that they can stay
with the team and carry on a
history t o future players.
CSUSM has not had a
women's soccer team until
this year. Last year, Stacy
Goldstein, a former student,
started collecting names to
begin a women's club.

Whipped About Nothing
The buddies meet regularly
at a local New York diner to
catch up on each other's lives,
but their focal point is always
sex and the countless reflections
on hot chicks they "bagged."
There are a few too many of
these diner scenes and they soon
become redundant. There is
less substance in the stories
being told than there is the
incessant attempt to squeeze
in as many different references
about having sex as possible.
Whipped is a comedic film
about sex and relationships. It
takes a look into the lives of
three ex-college roommates and
best friends who are still commitment-shy but always ready to
swap stories about their latest
conquests.
There is Zeke, the self-proclaimed "East Coast Enigma,"
who believes his appeal comes
from projecting a certain mystery that simply leaves the ladies
wanting more.
Into the picture enters Mia
(played by Amanda Peet), coincidentally, the object of all their
desires. All three guys fall in
love with her and the token
boy brawling ensues. Mia has
the men whipped, so to speak,
as they swallow their bachelor
mindsets.
Brad is a jocular, selfobsessed, "Wall Street guy"
who, when he stops "closing
deals" at work, is still "closing
deals" in other regards.
Jonathan doesn't possess the
same prowess as the other two,
but his libido is just as high.
His outlet, though, is more of
the self-gratifying sort. His stories involve imaginary girls with
names similar to body lotion
brands—like Nivea, Lubriderma,
or Vaselina.
Whipped stars from left to right: Judah Domke (Eric), Zorie Barber (Zeke),
Amanda Peet (Mia), and Brian Van Holt (Brad)

Throughout the film, all
the talk about "stuffing, railing,

done and not one clever line was
ever uttered. Any laughs to be

raunch and bathroom humor.
This prevented Whipped from
being viewed anywhere beyond
a shallow point. Whipped is

"Barely noticed it. Nice concept, I guess. But I was busy
trying to get classes, my permit-not because I didn't appreciate it." (Geoffrey Gordon)
"Yes it did. The different clubs the campus offers, I was
interested in the German Club, M.E.C.h.a., and the International Club." (Maria Jose)
Another local artist I found
interesting was Linda Besemer
and her brightly colored,
abstract works that defy the traditional framed oil on canvas.
Besemer's technique
involves working backwards
from the surface of sheets of
plexiglas using acrylic strips.
As she takes away the layers,
Besemer is left with an amazing array of colors and shine.
Her art gently folds over aluminum rods hung from the wall
shining with spectacular colors
of blues, reds, yellows and
pinks. Hundreds of colors perfectly aligned with the panes
and hairs of the glass.

As I continued through
the rooms, I came upon a
display by Judi Russell, a
Los Angeles-based photographer. Russell's specially-commissioned portraits of each artist and brief statements about
their work allowed me to
understand their intensions and
perspectives. "The Next Wave"
runs through September 10 and
admission is $3.00 for CSUSM
students.

Here is how:
Leaf proved he has not
changed much since his debut
season in the Chargers' opener against the hated Oakland
Raiders on Sunday.
Leaf is on pace to break
his lofty personal record of
15 interceptions in 9 games
after he threw 3 passes to the
Raiders on Sunday. He also
managed to complete only 17

Although he threw only

often.
Ryan Leaf had a dreadful
rookie year in 1998 when he
threw 15 interceptions and
only 2 touchdowns. When
he was finally benched in

39.0-passer rating.
