T he b uilding, called Building 15, has been designed to accommodate offices^ classrooms, and labs, as well as hosting new d istance l earning technology. Prop 203 provides $14.5 million for t he building's construction and for modifications to the campus utility plant. T he following y ear, i t would provide $1.5 million to equip building 15. Building would begin October, 1996, iffunds are available, and would be completed by J une of 1998. I t would house labs for Business Administration, Foreign Languages, Literature and Writing, Psychology, Social Sciences, and Education. On t he technological side, video broadcasts will be accessible from each lab and classroom, and 300 stations will be capable of broadcasting as well as receiving. Plans state t hat four high end multimedia stations will be contained within t he buildingfor the development of digital instruction modules, and each classroom and lab will have network connec- tion. Design work on a permanent library for Cal State San Marcos would also be funded with $1.1 million by Prop. 203. Even with t he addition of Building 15, campus growth would still be behind schedule when compared to the number of new students t he University plans to take in each year. K-12 schools would receive $2 billion, while $975 million would be divided among the community colleges, University of California and t he California S tate U niversity campuses. A similar proposition t hat would have given birth to Building 15 was proposed in 1994, b ut was shot down by voters. Since then, additions have been made in Building 15's telecommunication capabilities, according to Campus Physical Planning Director Russel Decker. Building 15 is one oftwo new buildings in the next budget year for t he California S tate University System. Proposition 203 is supported by t he California State University Board of Trustees, University of California Board of Regents, and the California C ommunity Colleges Board of Governors, as well a s t he C alifornia State University Office of t he President and Associated Students, Inc. �AVID holds Upward Bound recruits twenty-five motivational conference touching upon expectations, where to access information for speeches, attendance expectations, being on time (this continually stressed through out all ofthe classes), help if the students needed it.

Ihisthelargestprivte cash donationgivento CSUSM to date. With an endowed scholarship, only the interest generated by the donation is used while the principal amount remains in perpetuity. In order to be eligible to apply for this scholarship, students must demonstratefinancialneed and academic accomplishment, have a grade point average of at least 3.0, and be a U.S. citizen. The interest earned by the donation should be enough to provide about ten students with scholarships. Evers felt that through this endowment, he and his wife could help students in their efforts in higher education, an opportunity that they never had. The Evers are childless, but have a keen interest in young people. Mr. Evers was as reticentto discuss he and his wife's personal accomplishments and life styles as he was generous in his donation to the university. TheEvers were long-time residentsof North County CSUSM donor Leonard Evers By Paul Hilker Staff Writer AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) held a motivational conference for North Countyjunior high and high school students on February 9th. AVID is a program that helps secondary school students think about educational goals through workshops and conferences. The AVID program, founded seven years ago in San Diego county, worked in conjunction with the Student Affirmative Action (SAA) of CSUSM to put on this special event. Over 300 studentsfromvarious North County high schools and junior high schools were presented with numerous interactive workshops organized around t he central t heme "Empowerment through knowledge." A staff of mostly CSUSM faculty and students was well prepared for the small mass of youngster. Some motivational speakers spoke to the students on issues like goal development, confidence, and self empowerment and advisors and computer lab technicians introduced them to the library and computer resources here on campus. Steven Jones, the opening speaker, initiated the day by creating an amiable, spontaneous atmosphere. After Jones cited a poem which illustrated the need for human understanding and empathy, the audience was clearly attentative and receptive. Speaking in a language the students could clearly relate with J ones addressed the importance of self-awareness and self-empowerment through a desire for knowledge. "We all need to be truth seekers," Jones stressed. Among the other motivational speakers were Veronica Woodrow, an Organizational Effectiveness SpecialistfromSan Diego, and CSUSM TRIO Director and motivational trainer Calvin One Deer Gavin. According to Mary Wardell, the SAA outreach coordinator, theconference was a big success. "The overwhelming positive response from the students let us know that these programs are imperative for high school students under-represented in colleges. They in encourage the students to pursue higher education and career goals," said Wardell.

Additional classroom space and labs (in the planned "Building 15") would be spawned from the additional funds as well as plans for a permanent library. Even with the addition of Building 15, CSUSM would still be behind in it's expansion to compensate for the forecasted rise in number of students in the years to come. What it comes down to is CSUSM plans to accept an additional number of students each year. Two things will happen without the addition of more classroom space. Firstly, not as many new students will be accepted as the University has planned. Secondly, the school's population will still increase to some extent, raising class sizes and making it harder for students to get needed classes One of the pluses of CSUSM is the small class size. The Pride would like to keep it that way. The Pride supports Prop. 203, and recognizes that additional funds are anecessity to keep up with the constantiy advancing world, as well as to offer higher education to as many as possible, without sacrificing the quality of the education those currently enrolled are experiencing. Casting a vote for 203 is supporting education. If it fails, those who voted against it have merely taken a step to negate planned growth and advancement, and deny students a superior learning environment Students are at CSUSM to experience a superior learning environment, and one not caught in the established bureaucracy of decades past This university isfresh,new and energized with revolutionary curriculum and technology. For CSUSM to retain it's academic edge, growth through funds provided by Prop. 203 is mandatory. ftJetterig editor ^are welcome * All lettersiimst be signed by the author and include bis or her j | name, mailing address* major and jphone number. SenS letters to: >The P f iiiform^ i d e ; C % 9206& IV>r \j The attitudes of the Industrial Era are some that most people are not particularly fond of. Child labor and poverty was at it's worst. This was the time of the American Dream. That dream has over time, morphed into welfare checks and college loans. Most people believe that big business is bad. Punks hold the belief that corporations ruin everyday life. As you read this article, a multi-million dollar company, England based Penguin Books Lmt (publishes selfhelp books, RAW, Stephen King, and half of your educational literature) is suing my small press comic book company, Penguin Palace (publishes Tori do, Thief, and Avalanche) for $100,000. I'm guessing that most of you have never seen $100,000.1 certainly haven't. I'm 17 years old, and a business major at this University. My parents are paying my way through school, not my company or the government. In 1994, Penguin Books made $75,000,000while Penguin Palace had $250 to its name. I do comics because they make people laugh, not because I'm going to buy Lithuania and turn it into a refuge for sunburnt penguins. Last fall, Penguin Books saw my WWW page. If you netsearch the word "penguin," Penguin Palace is listed before Penguin Books. They set their New York lawyers after me on trademark violation, which means that I can't use the word "Penguin" or a penguin drawing in the company name or logo. Someone please find me a live penguin who can verbally tell a judge that their identity shouldn't have a trademark on it. How many similar companies have the word "women" in their name, or uses a cat as a symbol? In the Industrial Era, a large company would find silly reasons to shut down smaller ones, to have a larger slice of the pie. Competition is a large part of business. A lot of times, people who read novels on a frequent basis aren't the same type of people who collect comics. People aren't going to confuse the two companies, Penguin Palace and Penguin Books. I KOLB T uwJoY€E Big companies have an advantage because they have the expensive lawyers on their side. They could be suing me for writing on the wrong side of a sheet of notebook paper, and would still win the case. There are lawyers who offer free legal help, but what happens if you have a case that doesn't qualify? Why should a multi-million dollar company be afraid of a 17 year old, just because of the person's ability to use a computer? Computers are not that complicated. There are a lot of people younger than me who can code 3D games, viewers, and other useful applications. I don't run linux and I haven't learned HTML yet. Only 2% of the world's population is on the Internet, but Penguin Books seems to think that because of my WWW page and involvement with electronic magazines, that I am a threat to their company. In the Industrial Era, there was a lack of information and education. Schools are now pushing for computer literacy and higher education. That's scaring corporate businessmen sitting in stuffy conference rooms who can intimidate their competition.

This feeling of good will is directed at our public safety office. Whenever I or a friend has had car trouble a t the campus; say a dead battery, or keys locked in t he car, t he willing and able officers of Public Safety have been ready to jump to the rescue with jumper cables or a slim-jim in hand. It was not until my car had a dead battery at San Diego State University t hat I realized t he uniqueness of even these basic of services. It was 5 P.M. on Tuesday night, and my car was dead in a parking garage of S.D.S.U. I didn't have jumper cables with me, and I couldn't find anyone else with a set either. Conditions were not right for popping t he clutch, sol finally flagged down a S.D.S.U. police car. After hearing my story, I was told t hat t he San Diego State Public Safety office does not offer vehicle jumping services, as they were afraid of shorting out their electrical system. I was then strongly advised to call a tow truck tojump my battery. Thinking t hat this most, a poor one. My only option was to call a tow company to perform a two minute operation at the price of $40-a good half of my bank account. Luckily it was only 7 P.M. and I was able to call my girlfriend to drive from San Marcos to help me. I am still confused as to why S.D.S.U., who's student government alone operates on 1/2 the money our entire campus operates o n, can't even provide the most basic of emergency assistance to the student.

Although I would concede his opint refering to women as 'girls' is not necessarily sexist, it is undoubtably patronizing. Until rather recently, AfricanAmerican men were frequently called "boys" by Caucasian men. Very few, if any, of t hese Caucasian men were visually impaired, and could t hus easily , observe these grown men were in no way "boys." So there must be another reason for their use of this term. I submit t hat it was an attempt to alienate these African-American men, and to "keep them in their place" by refusing to acknowledge their status as adults. Similarly, when men refer to obviously grown women' as "girls," it is a veiled attempt to "keep them in their place," or as Mr. Vitrano suggests, a t home watching talk shows.

(Unless of course t he D.J. referred to working women as girls) For those of you who still do not get it, girls and boys are children, t o refer to an adult using these terms is to simply imply t hat the adult is a child.

Grubbs literature and Writing Studies CSUSM has 'nice people' To the Editor, On Nov. 15, in the afternoon, I left my wallet in one of the women's restrooms in the ACD building. The very second I realized I had forgotten it, I panicked! It contained a wad of cash, apaycheck, not to mention my d river's licence, c redit card,etc. I began to immediately - envision the immense hassle of replacing all I had lost. This was an additional stress I did not need! At my realization, I ran out of clas, and proceeded to go directly to the restrookm where I knew I had left it. It wasn't there! I ran to every class on the first floorto ask ifanyone had seen my wallet. Crazy? As the classes ended, some of my classmates saw me, and of course wondered what had h appened (I looked so distressed). One ofthe girls said to check the lost and foundat student services. She said there were a lot af really nice people on campus and that somebody probbly t urned it in. I was feeloing a little skeptical, but as we wlked in the door to student servies, there it was! And not a thing was missing! There are nice people on this campus! I'd like to say a very special thank-you to the student who r eturned my w allet untouched! May the favor be returned to you some day! Ann Thompson Psych. San Diego teachers do not care Dear Editor, San Diego teachers should be placed on a merit systemperiod. They should receive merit raises for producing a top notch competitive product. But no- their union tells them to strike, so they go on strike. If their union bosses told them td put their heads between their legs, they'd probably do t hat too. The few caring teachers who did cross the picket line werejeered at for beingtraitors. Striking teachers should be a sking t hemselves t his question: Why should they be r ewarded w ith a r aise f or producing an inferior product? In t he p rivate sector, poor performance gets you fired. In California government schools, it means you deserve a raise. It is obvious t hat t he "victim" mentality has trickled into the r anks of government school teachers- a nother symptom t hat government doesn't work. And why should teachers be rewarded for making threats to California taxpayers-like the Mafia when they don't get what t hey w ant? C alifornia government schools already p roduce i lliterate k ids, unprepared for college or the real world, and for this we should reward them with a raise? Taxpayers are not t hat naive t hat they would want to subsidize extortionists or poor performance. If government school teachers are unhappy with their salaries, they should find a job at a private school, or better yet, their own. But when recipients of taxpayer f unds t hreaten t o h arm t he very c hildren of t hose s ame taxpayers, it is difficult to find sympathy or compassion for their cause.

How to stop? Distract yourself. Find something less destructive to think about, or do something t hat you can make progress on. These usually result in an enhanced mood and sense of purpose. What you do next will likely be better... If this doesn't work, you could try a technique called "Thought Stopping": when you are in t hat negative stream of thought, dwelling repeatedly on t he hopelessness and unfairness of it a ll, suddenly scream "Stop!!" to yourself and perhaps picture a huge red Stop sign in your mind's eye. You will notice t hat this scream, this image, actually does interrupt t he stream of thought momentarily. As it does, and you go blank, take a slow, deep breath, smile a little bit, and redirect your thinking to more pleasant or useful directions. Break the job down into parts, and focus on doing one part at a time. For many students, procrastination includes the thought of the work to do as immense and overwhelming.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, a very small structure at the cen- ., ter ofthe brain. It is being sold " as a dietary supplement with no medical claims on its label. Therefore, a t this time, the Food and Drug Administration has no jurisdiction. It is being sold primarily at health food stores and at some pharmacies but not as a medication. Incredible claims arebeingpromised, mostly in the media and in published books, almost all without scientific evidence or any significant studies backing the claims. This new miracle drug (although not considered a drug by the manufacturers) supposedly combats aging, helps jet lag, reduces your risk ofchronic disease, lowersyour blood pressure and enhances your immune system and your sex life. Ask yourself if you would take a supplement or medication (in this case a hormone) if the following were true: JOEL 1. The therapeutic effects are not clearly known. 2. The purity of t he product is not guaranteed. 3. The potency of the product is not guaranteed. 4. Studies have not been finished to determine proper dosage for different therapeutic effects. 5. Interactions with other medications or foods are unstudied. 6. The possible side effects have not been documented in scientific studies. All of the above are t rue for melatonin. Anythingthat is billed asamiracle or wonder drug or supplement has to b etaken with a grain of salt. At this time, I don't recommend you take melatonin. If you are having significant distress or symptoms, see your health care provider first. �NOFX show fun withSpunk ideals Where: oma When: Feb. 8 By Joyce K ob Staff Writer If you like t he fast, wacky sound of NOFX, mixed with sheep bestiality (check out the cover oftheir latest album) and five swarming, sweaty mosh pits, you would have had a great time a t t he Soma show on Feb. 8.

Leadership and Ethical Decision Making." Narcissism featured at Center for the Arts By Carrie Tyler Staff Writer Artists reflect themselves in Narcissism at California Center for the Arts Escondido. This unique exhibition examines how artists depict themselves and others. Through working in painting, photography, sculpture, and installation, thirty-two local, national, and international artists feature themselves in their work as they explore their "roles as individuals and artists, image makers and storytellers, directors and actors, men and women." Works include self-portraits by renown artist Andy Warhol, the redefinition of portraiture pieces of Chuck Close. Recreations of themselves are brought to life by photographers Cindy Sherman and Yasumura as they recreate themselves in various settings and guises in their portrait paintings. Audrey Flack's powerful bronze sculpture portrays woman as goddess and evokes her belief of the power that artists have. Walking through the museum you can's help but notice some of these magnificent creations. Dennis Oppenheim's "theme for a Major Hit" entertains you with its ten mechanical marionettes that dance to "It ain't what you make, ifs what makes you". Tim Hawkinson's "Signature" is a fascinating desk with motors that creates actual signatures. Audrey Flack's statue of "Islandia, Goddess of the Healing Waters" overshadows you with an omnipresent beauty all its own. Bruce Nauman's wax castings ofthe heads ofhis studio assistant and friends catches you by surprise as they dangle on strings. Janine Antoni's "lick and Lather" sculptures of chocolate and soap reference purity,hygiene,and everydayrituals. Kim Dingle invite you into her "Priss Room" G Image created by Rimma Gerlovina & Valerie erlovin, Vintage 1990, courtesy off the artists, Robert Koch, & California Center for the Arts where her realistic doll-likefiguresevoke the images and emotions of childhood in anyone. These artists have been brought together to illustrate their different and individualistic techniques to face and represent themselves. In conjunction with this exhibition John Welchman, Assistant Professor at UCSD, will present a slide lecture onThursday, February 29, entitled "Faces and Powers". It will be held in the California Center for the Arts Center Theater at 7 p.m. and is free. Also as part of Narcissism, San Diego artist, David Baze will use the museum as a stage to paint a portrait of him self from March 9 through March 15 in the Museum Gallery during Museum hours. Narcissism started on February 4 and ends May 26 with the museum's hours Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 5 p.m., Sundays 12 to 5 p.m., and closed on Mondays and major holidays.

Bands, albums reviewed rn mr mm By Joyce Kolb Staff Writer * Limblifter LimblifterCD (Mercury Records) The 50's style cover art and the Seattle punkish sound reminds me of Weezer. This Canadian band isn't as cheerful as Weezer, each song sounds as if it was done by another band. They follow through on their promise to "provide an outstanding listening experience to all music lovers." They draw the listener into the song and provide enough variance to entertain for hours on end. Their self titled album is in stores now.
