At a meeting of the Student Fee Advisory Committee on Wednesday, April 9, it was voted unanimously to send a letter of recommenda- AS. Elections tions Dr. Bill Stacy. The letter is to advise that a $10 Associated Student fee increase be sent to student body vote. Arevised 1997 and 1998 budgets were also sent for Stacy's approval. State law requires that referendums be posted 10 working days before elections. Prior to posting measure must be approved by the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Stacy. As Stacy is in Saint Louis, and won't return until Friday, A.S. was unable to get his approval within the 10 working days. A.S. board members scrambled to postponed elections for the second time this Spring, hoping to give Stacy time to approve the measure. Student Activities Adviser Gezai Berhane and Acting A.S. Executive Director Francine Martinez turned them down. "The main reason (for postponing elections) was to include this student fee increase. A.S. needed to submit it a long time ago and they didn't," said Student Activities Adviser Gezai Berhane. "A.S. didn't submit this to the See Fees, pg. 12 Planning the union When: 8 am to 7 pm April 22 and 23 pj^^^lc f u p c l - Where: Founder's Plaza l & a e r s ^ o & S ^ f.} deadlicyps jfegij Bring s tudent I.D. card Eighteen positions make up the Associated Students board.

The dates listed in the last issue of The Pride were erroneous. A $40,000 donation for a campus child care facility was given by Hunter Industries. The donation was credited solely to University Council Member Ann Hunter-Welborn, a partner in the business. We apologize. Track funding faces deadline Initial $300,000 grant will be lost in 10 months if not matched By Gail Butler Pride Staff Writer The campus must match a $200,000 grant funding a proposed Olympic-class track and soccer Field dollar for dollar in the next 22 months, or risk losing it. Project fund-raiser A1 Castle and his public affairs office, PA, are out among the chattering classes in search of a major donor to supply the remaining $800,000 to complete the project. "These people have the contacts and the clout to bring in major corporate donors such as Nike," Castle said. The track and soccer field planned is available for naming to the highest contributor, much like Jack Murphy stadium's deal with QualComm Inc. The initial $200,000 challenge grant required that the funds be matched within two years. "We are about 10 months into that time with $25,000 cash on hand," said Castle. Subcontractors have also made in-kind donations of materials that count toward the goal but PA has yet to place values on them. "Gifts of any size are also sought from the community in the form of cash," he continued. "We hope that like our anonymous donor, there are others who are interested in supporting both student life at CSUSM and access to the campus by the surrounding community." The proposed track and soccer field can be seen in this drawing to the left of Craven Drive. Riding on the successful completion of the track and soccer complies is the chance for CSUSM to qualify for NCAA II division sports competition. "We need 6 sports and one major facility," said Castle. "This project paves the way for the future." J une, 1998 the track p roject breaks the fundraising deadline. Donation made in response to Swastika-bearing racist fliers By Michael B. Miller Pride Staff Writer Small, Swastika-bearing flyers have been popping up on campus over the last month and a half. In response, a group of faculty, staff and administrators who vowed to donate money every time such an event occurs have followed through with their promise. Since some of this Racist material was distributed during the festivities honoring the late farm labor leader Cesar Chavez, the donations will be made in Cesar Chavez's memory. The Latino Association of Faculty and Staff (LAFS) will be the recipients of the donations. The LAFS* endowment provides scholarships to latino students at CSUSM. The informal group that makes these racial incident donations was started last year by concerned administrators, faculty, and staff. The hope is that donations given with each occurrence of racism will deter further such behavior. "These donations will mean that the perpetrator of racist acts on campus are furthering the cause of racial equality. I am grateful to those who have come forward with this civil, affirmative response," said Bill Stacy, university president in a Public Affairs press release. University donor passes By Tina Leary Pride Staff Writer Mrs. Ella J. Thedinga of Rancho Bernardo passed away at the age of 90 on March 20 leaving to CSUSM the generous gift of her life savings. Jane Lvach, Director of Development at CSUSM, says the gift will provide approximately 20 scholarships a year in perpetuity. Her legacy will help deserving students for generations to come. As a relatively small university, Mrs. Thedingas donation has a major impact on our ability to provide scholarships to students. These students, in turn, will make a difference in our community. In her early years, Mrs. Thedinga worked hard to put her husband through college. During those difficult financial times the Thedingas decided to give what money they could to help deserving students. Mrs. Thedingas hard work as an elementary school teacher for 30 years in Wisconsin paid off as her husband, Dr. Ernest O. (Ted) Thedinga, became a professor, dean of men, and vice-president for student affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Oskosh from 1936 to 1972. After Dr. Thedingas retirement in 1972, the couple moved to Orange County and then to Rancho Bernado in 1989. Mrs. Thedinga was widowed in 1993. Her first gift to CSUSM occurred in December 1994, when she pledged $500,000 to start a scholarship endowment (at that time the largest the campus had ever received). She frequently hosted the Thedinga scholarship recipients to lunch and attended many student-focused events on campus. Mrs. Thedinga cared deeply for students and helped them throughout her life as a teacher, as a mentor, and as a f riend.. .She was a w a r m , generous and caring person who touched many lives. She will be sorely misled by all who knew her, said Bill Stacy, CSUSM president. �Tix?

I was about to give up when I f inally happened upon a place called The Sound Ring. Here, I was instantly amazed at the enormity of what I had j ust stumbled upon. For what I found was a site that, like the name says, is a music collective that allows you to either become a part of the collecti ve or journey within it—listening to or downloading sound or music files as you do.

However, in my case, I was there to take, not to give. And believe me, if you need a sound byte or a thousand, this is the place to be. This site o ffers a veritable bounty of music files, and fortunately, t hey make it easy to hunt down and catch whatever it is y ou're in the market for. Everything is indexed according to the file type, (Wavs, A u's, Voc's, Mod's, ect.), as well as music genre. So, if you need a contemporary j azz \Wav,* you simply go to "search," and type in your specifications. However, if all you want to do is browse f or a couple or a hundred hours, you can simply move f rom site to site, until finally, you arrive back at where you s tarted—tired, s weaty, and w ith a bloated hard-drive.

So d on't think that Mr. Visa is going to have to ride shotgun while you motor around this site. Put him in the trunk where he belongs, and enjoy the ride. A fourth-grade class at Central Elementary School in Escondido got their first taste of college life thanks to Cal State San Marcos' Student Academic Services Outreach Program Office, 40 some volunteers and the generous contribution from a private organization that helped make Central's T m Going to College" day a success. The students got off the school buses hauling buggy to the Dome area—all 120 of them — at 8:30 am to be greeted by the TKEs, MECha, AX , Sociology Club and HRES volunteers. The fourth-graders, eager and excited to begin their 'Tm Going to College" adventure, waited patiently in line while volunteers distributed CSUSM photo I.D. cards, backpacks and T-shirts imprinted with the announcement "I'm Going to College." No horseplay or messing around helped the lines to move quickly in the chilly morning. A quick sampling of several students revealed that they'd never been to a college campus. However, they weren't intimidated; they couldn't be when smiling, friendly volunteers greeted and joked with them. The volunteer guides horsed around with the students. When one group was in front of the Science Hall, the guide asked a volunteer supervisor to explain what went on in the hall. He replied that he didn't know what went on in there. Why not? Because he was a business major! The students got a big chuckle. However, these students knew what a business major was.

Associated Students In Executive offices President John Burke How Faltaous Junior Politcal Science Junior Political Science Faltaous is the cureent Associated Students Treasurer. He chairs the Finance and Personnel committee, serves on the Executice committee and is an exofficial of the Fundraising committee. He also works with the campus Educational Opportunity Program. Faltaous would like to change the negative image CSUSM has gotten due to racial strife. He plans to promote child care programs and avtivities and provide social and academic support for day and night students. Faltaous specifically wants A.S. to set aside a $10,000 support fund for campus clubs and organizations. Burke feels the Associated Students has not communicated sufficiently with students, clubs and campus organizations the past few years. Increasing club support and promoting a sense of community on campus with more events and expanded intramural sports are among his main goals. Burke also wants longer hours in the library, book store, labs and Dome for nighttime students. He would also like to look into renegotiating or eliminating the university's contract with Aztec shops, which runs the book store and Dome cafe. He served as the president of the Political Science Association this past year and as Treasurer the year before. He has worked on A.S.' Finance and Personnel, Programming and Recreation Committees. External Vice President Internal Vice President Joy Moore Sophomore Business and Economics Moore sees the university's youth and inexperience as two main obstacles that are at the root of many of our problems. Lack of finance and lack of student participation are two examples. Moore sees A.S. as being as organized as possible at the present, but hopes to develop more cooperation and organization in the future. Moore supports an A.S. retreat to promote unity and efficiency. She also approves of a student fee increase of $10 in the money given to A.S. Joy describes herself as "really dedicated and extremely hard working." Moore served as internal vice president last semester and was part of the California State Student Association.

Jingling-pocketed students converged on campus after a week-long hiatus only to find free printing remained. It remained at the computers that had not been decimated by pay per print hardware and software installation, that is. Lab techicians scrambled to reprogram computers, as did the library's computer whizzes. The campus network even had to be retooled. It was a lot of trouble for something that was put off until next semester. Especially when you consider that most of the 15 cent-per-copy charge doesn't go to the school anyway. It goes to the company that installed the pay per print equipment. And who knows what problems printing students will face next semester. There are simpler solutions. Leaving the manual feed open on the printers and allowing students to bring their own paper would have been a more economical compromise. Fifteen cents can buy watermarks and executive fiber at Kinko's Copiers. Granted a copy machine print is different than a computer printout, but copy shops aren't supported by tax dollars and tuition fees. Toner and maintenance on printers must also be taken into account. Adding 50 cents to student tuition would garner a decent pool to work with. And it is better than paying 15 cents for a single copy. Sadly enough, this overpriced printing plan seems to be a foregone conclusion, as the pay per print system has already been installed.. To keep your cost low, we suggest emailing assignments to professors. Those unfamiliar with the campus e-mail system can find instruction with lab monitors in the open access computer lab, ACD 202.

Please recycle this newspaper For a university so dependent upon at- tracting attention to its minority hiring and enrollment, this campus was getting skewered alive. Every time I told a nonstudent that I attended CSUSM, the first question was something to the extent of "so, how's the racism up there?" So is this second "day of healing" really necessary? That depends on its true intent. Another day to celebrate cultural uniqueness is not what this campus needs. Each day in class we are encouraged to acknowledge each other's differences; to focus on them; study them and respect them. An organized diversity-focusing day will be nothing short of the norm. Students need to come together as a single unit, to socialize at the most basic level; as human beings. Inviting a mass of hate crime speakers to campus is simply buying a ticket to the local media circus. We may as well be season ticket holders. April 21 should be a day to build social ties with others on campus, especially those of other races. Announce that the day is meant to allow us to become better aquainted with one another, schedule a diverse number of bands to play and perhaps have one speaker. It should be casual and enjoyable. We have already acknowledged the racial problems. We focus on our diversified differences everyday. April 21 should focus on our similarities. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Fxide, ThuKsday, Ami 10, 1997 Diversity commitee members not swayed by Aryans Our education has given us the tools to de-construct the rhetorical moves made in the Letter to the Editor from the Aryan Student Union president and vice president in the Feb. 27 issue of The Pride. We (we are male, female; gay, lesbian, and straight; and multiracial) are not fooled, impressed, no swayed by your contrived politeness. Having said this, we would like to address the specifics of your Letter to the Editor. First, we would pose the question: If you "regret and fear: the members, actions, and repercussions of your own group, how would you expect anybody else to feel about them? You openly admit responsibility for their actions and for their power to cause "problems on our campus." Why would the campus community open their arms to a group that has been responsible for such vile behavior? Second, your claim to a member ship of a "fluctuating 10-15" appears questionable. You begin writing your letter in the first person, "I" (indicating, for grammatical clarification, one person, yourself) and then switch to the plural "we." You sign it as if the two of you wrote it together after you begin, I am writing..." Furthermore, you have yet to identify yourselves, so forgive us if your credibility and claims to membership appear tenuous at best. By the way, if you are so proud and innocent in motive, why not sign your names? Third, we are not ignorant about the White Aryan Resistance and its founding father, Tom Metzger (who is no doubt one of your sought-after speakers). We are aware of the literature, the crimes for which he has been found responsible, and his message of hate. You admitted connection to that group when you referred to those whose actions you "don't condone... who may be related to us." Your politeness does not cloak your ideology. Fourth, in your piece you refer to people of color as "non-Aryans." For future reference, consider displacing yourselves as the center of anybody else's identity. People of color would never refer to themselves as "non-Aryan." We are not your negative space. We do not consider you when we identify ourselves. While on the topic of identity, please note that Aryan and white are not, for most white folks, synonymous. Claim Aryan as an identity if you choose but do so with the realization that most white people do not consider themselves Aryans; they recognize the implications of that identity, even if you try to submerge it. Fifth, andperhaps most critically, your attempts to compare yourselves to Black Americans or Jewish Holocaust victims is not only grossly offensive but is ignorant. The historical comparison is nonexistent. Stating it as truth does not make it so. Perhaps your group should brush up on history. Struggles faced by white ethnics in America were rewarded with the ability to assimilate to an Anglo-American ideal. As a result, all of our president (including ours here at CSUSM) have been white males. As a result, you can move through this campus in complete anonymity. Your ability to slip away undetected is one of the many privileges you enjoy via your whiteness. Furthermore, your attempts to com- pare your acts of resistance are backward. Those groups were agitating for justice, equality, and basic human rights. They, unlike yourselves, were brave and willing torisktheir lives to stand up, be seen, and defend their beliefs. You are the perpetrators of hate, not the victims. We are not moved by your claims to oppression, we are repulsed. Finally, if you find this campus so oppressive and unjust, why are you so anxious to be officially recognized? We are here to tell you that whether or not you receive official recognition, you will never "become like the other groups on campus." You are fundamentally different because you are consumed with your racism. And, by the way, we will not only "construe" your commentary as racist, we will identify you as what you are: blatantly racist; and we will work to see that you (whether you are one or one hundred) will always feel unwelcome on this campus. Pan-African Alliance president reponds to Aryans In response to the letter from the Aryan Student Union President and Vice President of the Aryan Student Union: your group is not recognized because it is a small, exclusionary, racist, divisive group, the actions of which run counter to the rationale of an institution of higher learning. Why should your group or any group be officially recognized whose purpose is to cause division amongst people? I defend your right to speak your mind. But I ask, what have you done with your right and your ability to reason? You say it is right for groups to express their outrage at being denigrated. But whites like yourself denigrate nonwhites on the premise that Laura Canty-Swapp whites are more worthy than nonwhites. Graduate Student, Sociology Your group as all groups that promote A.S. Activating Diversity Committee hate and racism should be denigrated bemember cause your actions and the reasons for them are wrong. Kimberly Kagy Your members who, according to you, Undergraduate, Liberal Studies expressed their identities in unacceptable Chair, A.S. Activating Diversity Com ways, have done so out of evil mindedness, mittee not because they have valid grievances to air. Don't even try to equate your illegal symbolism of (so-called) redress with struggles of black people to win their freedom in this country. To equate your struggle with those who were the victims of the holocaust is shameful. You truly have no shame! You clandestinely spread your lies and allude to your dirty deeds in the school paper, but you don't have the integrity or the courage to be open. You know that what you do and stand for is evil, wrong and divisive. If you had any sense you would be encouraging these sick minds to stop these monstrous activities and stop denying the truth that indeed, we are all created equal. What will you do with your official recognition? You say that if your group is recognized by CSUSM it will show that the university is dedicated to diversity. Diversity has to do with the celebration and acceptance of all ethnic groups. Your actions and words have shown that diversity is not a part of your agenda. So why try to deceive us into believing that acceptance of your exclusionary group is beneficial to the university or to diversity? Your organization truly does not belong on a college campus where enlightenment is the goal to be achieved.

ENTERTAINMENT The Pmde, Tbunsday, ApmL 10, 1997 - Cave charts new ground with 'Boatman's Gall' By Gabe Lundeen Entertainment Editor After producing an album comprised entirely of songs about killing people, what could possibly be left for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds? 1996's brilliant "Murder Ballads" had a body count of almost seventy, but with a wit to match. From the grim killer who quotes "Paradise Lost" in "Song of J oy" to the i nsane e gomaniac of "O'Malley's Bar," Cave covered familiar ground in an unfamiliar way, and accidentally stumbled upon the greatest commercial success of his career. But commercial success was never a comfort zone for Cave, and, in his usual a udacious manner, Cave decided to change directions by creating an album of love songs and tender ballads, "The Boatman's Call." Keep in mind that these are not your typical Michael Bolton or Celine Dion These are not your typical Michael Bolton or Celine Dion Top 40 bubblegum love songs. Top 40 bubblegum love songs. They have a more hymn-like quality of them, and at times are devotionals. Cave writes love songs with bite, as he waxes poetic on love while attacking the human race or denying God's existence. The album shows a different side of Cave, a real departure from his usual style of fictional narratives/These songs have a more personal feel to them, and deal with more personal topics. He al- lows himself to expound on subjects other than death and despair, while still retaining aspects of his usual style. "Into My Arms," the album's first single, is as sincere a love song as Cave has ever written, while still capturing the cynicism and religious doubts he personally experiences. "I don't believe in an interventionist God," sings Cave, "but I know, darling, that you do." On top of songs about relationships, Cave also explores his relationship with God. On "Into My Arms" he claims not to believe in God, but in the song "There Is A K ingdom/' he sings religiously slanted lyrics like "There is a Kingdom, and there is a King," making sure to capitalize all of the "He'"s to denote a Godly influence. It's hard to get an exact picture of how Cave feels, but this only reflects the confusion he experiences. Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere?" is one o f'The Boatman's CaH"'s highlights, illustrating the departure of love from a once joyful relationship. The relationship is shown not just from the perspective of lovers, but also those who are caught in the middle. They face dissatisfaction, "while the bones of our child crumble like chalk." "The Boatman's Call" is very reminiscent of the music of Leonard Cohen, the king of depressing music and an obvious influence on Cave. Coherfs shadow has always loomed high over Cave's music, and music critics almost always cite this fact and use it against him, referring t o him as a cheap imitation. Though he has yet to reach the greatness of Cohen's poetry, Cave has definitely formed a style of his own. Every musician has influences, and he just happened to pick a great one. He can't be blamed for his taste. The album's only disappointment is the lack of strong musicianship. This is Cave's album, and the Bad Seeds are left behind as nothing more than background music. The Bad Seeds are often the driving force behind songs that might otherwise fail. Their presence here is very un- derstated, drowned out by the deep power of Cave's vocals. It is a shame that one of the best and most underrated backing bands in music today is so seldom used. "The Boatman's Call" allows Nick Cave to climb out of the routine he found himself in. The most successful songs of his career have been dark, murderous narratives, but there is a finite amount of ways to kill, as Cave has been discovering. A gifted lyricist, he navigates new ground with great skill. After the bloodshed of 1996's "Murder Ballads," Nick Cave(pictured) and the Bad Seeds branch out and create a more tender album with "The Boatman's Call."

Silverchair seems to take the subject of addiction very seriously. Whether or not these were autobiographical lyrics, they depict drugs here as a symbol of destruction and death, often times involving loved ones and intimates.

The new Offspring album "Ixnay on the Hombre", opens with this very explicit warning. But is this new release truly offensive enough to deserve a whole track dedicated to cautioning listeners? Offensive, no. Truthful, yes. As in many other Offspring songs, including "What happened to you" (Smash) and "Hypodermic" (Ignition), Offspring brings to light real-life situations of young people. Their songs are meant to be identified with, and it is very probable that their target audience can relate well and comprehend their messages. If presenting the reality of drugs and hate in this world is construed by some as offensive, then Offspring is right—they shouldn't listen. The context of this warning contained in the first track "Disclaimer" reinforces this idea in more detail: "so protect your family; this album contains explicit depictions of things which are real; these real things are commonly known as life. So if it sounds sarcastic, don't take it seriously. If it sounds dangerous, don't try it at home or at all. If it offends you, just don't listen to it." Enough said, "Way down the Line" is a perfect example of a song off of "Ixnay on the Hombre" that confronts a dimension of reality that many people can relate to. The cfasm^^ clownIhelme destruction that are perpetuated from generation to generation. One verse says, "seventeen, Shannon is pregnant. Young as her mom when she had her. The kid is never gonna have a dad, same ol* one Shannon never had. What comes around, well it goes around." A pattern like this is apparent in thousands of Pride Staff Writer Within the realm of Hollywood movie making, the Saint is just another rehashed Hollywood flick. The original Saint character, some 50 years ago, was a B grade film back then and has emerged after so many years to the C level. Val Kilmer plays the modern day Saint. His character is meant to be cunning, devious, dangerous and treacherous. His many disguises and fake personas are comical, particularly the disguise as a nerdy Offspring's new album, "Ixnay on the Hombre," presents real life Issues while still producing their brand of loud, rollicking punk rock. homes in America.

The Coyote Bar in Carlsbad is a fun place to gather with friends while enjoying the tunes of great live bands. All the while taking advantage of the great weather while relaxing around fire pits under the stars. Although there is arestaurantinside, the bar attracts the largest crowd, with most patrons sitting on the expansive patio. By sundown, the Coyote warms up their numerous fire pits, which sit from 10 to 20 people per fire pit People leisurely sit and converse with friends or other people that happen to collect at their circle. The atmosphere picks up tempo from 6 pm to 10 pm every night 5 pm to 9 pm on Sundays) when great live bands take over one end of the patio. The band selection, covers a wide range of musical tastes including Rock & Roll; Blues, Reggae, and Sunday Jazz.

His on again off again British accent works some of the time, but since he doesn't really know who he is, the accent shifts and fades accordingly. As a character, the Saint is boring. He doesn't really have much to offer until he meets Professor Emma Russell, played by Elisabeth Shue. She is an American physicist who discovers a workable formula for cold fusion. Shue provides the plot for the story. Succumbing to his devious womanizing ways, she falls madly in love with Kilmer. Two Russian political groups, vying for control of Mother Russia, need her formula to win the election. Enter the Saint to save the day. Herein lies the setting for action and romance. Simon Templar, the Saint's chosen name, is a painful reminder of early childhood. Raised in a Catholic orphanage, he was subjected to physical and emotional abuse by priests, calling him heathen, son of satan and whipped him because he refused to say his name. This history is the opening scene of the film and the only scene that is painstakenly real. But reality quickly vanishes when we are introduced to the grown up Simon, et al. The rest of the story we are treated to a lot of action, fast cars, fast guns, near drownings, explosions, near escapes and always the re-union between Shue and Kilmer. Their union and re-union is the glue that holds the plot together. We are treated to scenes of romance and only partially clad bodies, remember this is a PG13 rated movie/'How will I find you?" is the question the two ask of each other time and again. They manage to find each other much to the delight of the movie viewer. For what else is there, in a no brainer, no plot movie other than Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue having hot, but not too hot trysts on the big screen. The Saint Directed by Phillip Noyes is rated PG 13 with a musical score by Graeme Revell that picks up the beat when the movie lags. Filmed in Russia and the U.K., the viewer is treated to some great panoramas of the Kremlin. ATTENTION CLUBS!!! The Pride will announce your upcoming events!

Special elections may be held for the fee increase later this semester, or in the Fall. "It's a valid proposal the campus (Student Fee Advisory Committee) had already approved it," said Berhane. Martinez is concerned that everything be done "by the book." One university has come under fire from the legal aspects because some have questioned the validity of their referendum procedure. A.S. P resident K ristina Gunderson, also a committee member, pushed for elections be postponed. A similar situation occurred last year when the increase was proposed at $5. If the measure is not voted upon this year, it is likely that a more costly fee increase will be requested next year.

There is no other woman on this earth that could ever bring joy and happiness into my heart like you, I have been searching for you all of my life. No other woman comes close to being as wonderful for me as you do. Inside and out you are the most beautiful woman alive. 1 need you in my life. You are the most important person in my life and I know that I have hurt you. Sometimes I can be insensitive to you and I just need to know what happened so that I can make it up to you. Yourfeelingsare important to me. I'm sony that I hurt them and that I did not tiy to tell you how sorry I was over the phone. I just reallyfeltthat I should have done that in person. I should have tried harder to tell you how much I appreciated you. Please believe I really did call you more than you may think. I left messages with your mom and tried to find you at home so I could apologize. I was busy helping my mom after her heart attacks and caring for my sister. I felt so proud of you that you were so understanding about me not having enough time for you. Ifeltproud you were on your own and taking this so well that I forgot to remind you how important you are to me, how much joy your smile brings me, how wonderful your voice sounds, how much I enjoy your company. You're my best friend. You have so many wonderful qualities 1 could not list them in 10 ads. We had a terrible time trying to communicate in late JAN&FEB and when we did talk, 1 think that we had some misunderstandings of what the other was trying to say. One example is when I asked you if you wanted to see other people. I didn't want anyone else, (I just told a woman to go away) I wanted you to say you loved me & only me, instead of what happened. How could you tell me there was nothing wrong on 3/2 and then mail back my ring on 3/5 without talking?! We have always talked out our problems. Did you feel that I cared so little about you that I would not talk to you to save our LOVE? Were you afraid to talk? I know that you still love me because you would not have been so upset the last time we talked. Cassie, I know that you are not a quitter. Please tell me everything that went wrong so that we can pray together. IF we pray together, GOD will help us. We have had three wonderful years together and had planned on spending eternity together. How can you let this all just slip away because I had to devote time to my mom and sister? Did youfeelthat neglected and unloved? Why didn't you tell me? I truly thought that you understood how serious my mom's condition was and were ok with me giving them my time to careforthem. Cassie, some people go a whole lifetime and never find a love like ours. Pleasereconsiderwhat has happened to us and that this has been a very stressful time in both our lives. Perhaps we have been too quick to judge and get mad at each other. Please know that I am not mad at you and I do not want to hurt you in any way. Please consider if this whole situation has been fair to either of us and watch the video I've made for you. Don't bottle up yourfeelings.Please talk to me and my pastor or to yours.
