Students try-out for Wheel of Fortune
Top CSUSM contestant eliminated in final round
By Chrissy Wright
Pride Staff Writer
Would you like to spin the wheel or
buy a vowel? On Saturday April 26, six
Cal State San Marcos students had the opportunity to do just that as they tried out
for the nationally televised Wheel of Fortune show. The process is not as simple
as one might think. Only one CSUSM student went on to the final round.
Approximately sixty students entered
the conference room at the Hyatt Regency
Hotel in San Diego at J ! am. Only fifteen students were left for consideration
at 1:30 pm.
This was only the first set of contestants. The next group arrived at 3 pm,
leaving with same outcome. Students received encouraging words from Pat Sajak
and Vanna White via video tape. They
suggested, "Be decisive in choice of letters, d on't forget vowels, have a good
time, and be yourself — it is only a game."
One of the contestant coordinators
advised, "stay away from long phrasing."
He also said they should "Find a good balance between spinning the wheel and calling vowels." The goal is to keep the game
moving along.
Students first played a mock game as
a group. They were able to spin, buy a
vowel, or solve the puzzle. Cal State student, Mark Logan, solved the event, "hitting the snooze button." He followed up
his performance with a back flip in front
of the room.
Contestants then had to take a test.
They were given a short time to fill in as
many puzzles as possible.
During the entire process contestant
coordinators, and producers took notes
and evaluated each individual. They took
all information f rom the previous few
hours and chose the fifteen people who
would move on to the next round.
Those who did not make it were dismissed. The top fifteen were then interviewed in front of the group. They also

played another, more~realistic, mock
round of "Wheel of Fortune."
At the end, nobody knew who would
make it through the final cut. Individuals
only knew that every move they made and
word they spoke was carefully scrutinized.
Mark Logan, who left that day knowing only that he had made it into the top
fifteen students, found out Monday that
he was not selected to appear on Wheel of
Fortune.
Several students from San Diego State
University were chosen, however.

just spit out a measurement we're familiar
with, like pounds, miles and Fahrenheit.
Well, at "The Measurements Converter
Page," located at http://www.mplik.ru/~sg/
transl/length.html you can do all this, and
much, much more.
Not only can you convert some strange
distance like meters (that is, if you're an
American), into feet, but you can literally
plug in a number, say 1 meter, andfindthe
equivalent distance in fathoms, leagues, parsees, light years, light minutes, picas,
vershoks, sea sazhens and versts, to name
but a few.
If you want to know how many seconds
are in a century, simply type in the number 1
in the centuryfield,and in less than a quarter of a second you are given the equivalent
in seconds, minutes, hours, days, we$ks, lu-
nar months and years.
The page has nine measurements available for conversion: Weight, capacity and
volume, length, area, speed, pressure, ten&
perature, circular measure and time.
And, believe me, you could spend hours
at this site just plugging in numbers. For instance, I now know that I am exactly 1
fathom, 0.00909090 furlongs, 4.572 ells,
2.5714286
arshins
and
0.00000000001222350404442383 astronomical units tall. I also know that, on the
freeway, I travel at an average of0.0000001
the speed of light.
If you have a hankering for enlightenment or just a cool place to waste your valuable time, this is the place to be. And, even
if you could care less that 30 degrees equals
.5235987711485907 radians, you might
have a trig teacher who thinks otherwise.
Measurement site is down-right useful

If you believe in the adage that form
must always follow function, you might want
to give "The Measurements Converter Page"
site a spin.
In fact, you'll be glad you did. Because
what it lacks in aesthetic pleasantries and
gizmos, it more than makes up for in practicality and down-right usefulness.
How many times have you been confronted with some strange measurement that
for some reason you weren't able to convert?
Whether it was degrees Celsius, kilometers,

heads in agreement before so much as a
word escaped Wise's mouth.
Playing politics is not the way to
unite this campus. Extremist speakers
such as Wise and Buchanan, do not promote unity. They push people to extremes. Those who share their views sit
and cheer. Others go home.
If unity is truly to be promoted, moderation is the key. Not excluding extremism. This campus' community needs to
ask itself what it truly desires — a unified body, or one separated by politics.
One thing is for certain: Inviting far right
or far left speakers is not the way to be
inclusive.
Diversity is important, of course. But
let us not forget that we are a unified
body. To come together, we need to look

�LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The. Pwde, Thursday, May 8. 1 997
Writer is
hypocritical in
combating racism
I 'm confused. Once again there seems
to be a double standard on this campus
when it comes to offensive and racist remarks. Apparently the campus "climate"
will tolerate targeting particular groups
turning a blind eye to printed materials at
CSUSM that should be called into question.
How is it okay to assume that anyone
not ascribing to what one group has determined to be right should be considered a
"Redneck"? In a recent "Pen and Sword"
publication, "California Girl" stated she
d idn't want o ur c ampus to turn i nto
"Redneck U". What does that mean? Everyone f rom t he S outh i s a Redneck?
P eople that d on't agree with her are
"Rednecks"? Cowboys, farmers and the
Midwestern working class are "Rednecks"
so they obviously are racist?
I don't get it. Why is it OK to generalize and stereotype crediting particular
beliefs and actions to a segment of society? Isn't that what we're trying to get away
from? California Girl has pre-judged a laige
group of people based on negative off-color
and off-hand remarks she has obviously
heard and believes herself.
Wait a minute! Aren't those the actions of a racist? If Pen and Sword is dedicated to fighting the injtfstice ^ d unfmr- *
ness of racism, then perhaps they should
look to their own first and understand that
you can't selectively discriminate: it's all
or none.
The same can be said for an article in
"Guts", the publication producted by the
Literary Society. A male writer has determined that if you wish to park in the upper
parking lot and circle waiting for an available spot, you obviously need "to use the
treadmill most of all."
He doesn't take into consideration
women walking alone at night to their cars,
students with heavy books and materials,
pregnant women, etc.
Apparently according to this author,
if you do not fit his predetermined physical standards, then you better get yourself
to a stairmaster and become his idealized
version of attractive and therefore worthy
of a closer parking spot.
We are not all identical physically and
thankfully so. Why should those who are
not California anorexic be subject to scorn
and derision? Again, someone has attempted to attach negative connotations to
a particular segment of society and doesn't
see the similarity in judging someone by
looks alone — as is typical in a racist.
While these types of derogatory remarks aren't as widespread as others, it
doesn't mean they should be ignored.
Prejudging someone through stereotypes, generalities and bias is still unfair,
unjust and uncalled for, especially within
an educational atmosphere such as that at
CSUSM.
Perhaps we need to be reminded that
if you can't say anything nice, don't say
anything at all. We all need to play nice
and be nice to everyone.

San Diego, he and his wife run into some bad luck when they
encounter car trouble in the middle of Beautiful, Nowhere, Utah.
. While they are standing there contemplating the empty vastness around them, wondering what to do next, the music begins to
sound a little like Jaws and you find yourself tensely waiting for
what's to come - and you know it isn't going to be good.
This scene is a good beginning and sets you up for the anxiety
awaiting you the rest of the movie. Russell plays Jeff Taylor, a
rather mild-mannered Bostonian who turns into a madman in an
attempt to find his wife, who seems to have disappeared without a
trace.
J.T. Walsh plays the villain and looks the part, dressed all in
black, black mustache, almost like something out of the silent mov-
ies. He looks and plays his role to perfection.
Although the story is not new, "Breakdown" is dressed
up enough to meet audiences's expectations of non-stop
action with Russell delivering as good as he did in
"Backdraft" and "Escape from L.A."
In "Escape from L.A." he plays the action hero, the
unwavering tough guy, but in "Breakdown" we see the softer
side, the everyday man sort of guy who learns to survive
while fighting the bad guys on their own turf. Russell says
this was a much more complex role, having to act vulnerable and not too competent and, at the same time, be an
action hero.
Having to do a lot of his own close-up stunts for this
movie, Russell portrays a very realistic look of fear in some
of the more tension-filled sequences, prompting audible
sighs from the audience at many points.
"Breakdown" is rated R. Released by Paramount Pictures. Directed by Jonathan Mostow. Staring: Kurt Russell,
J.T. Walsh and Kathleen Quinlan. Music Composer: Basil
Poledouris.

cover along with a large picture of Jason Thirsk, f ormer bassist f or Pennywise.
V This quote by Lincoln e ncompasses the d epth of v alue
the band m embers p lace on f riendship as t he sole d iagnosis
f or a worthwhile e xistence. It a lso a ccounts f or t he inspiration of every breath and pitch that the m usicians e xude in
Full Circle. Unfortunately, the q uote a lso r eveals the t empestuous and o verbearing sorrow the band m embers e ncapsulate f rom the loss of a d ear f riend. P ennywise bassist Jason Matthew Thirsk committed suicide last year, and the band
lost much more than a bassist.
The everlasting image and memory of Thirsk d ominates
t he " Full C ircle,"
which was dedicated
t o t he d early b eloved band member.
T he m otivation behind the making of Full Circle proved to p roduce a p owerful
compilation of elegy-like songs that inspire rather than depress.
" Bro H ymn", a previous Penny wise song off of their f irst
album, was a tribute to three other brother-like f riends of the
b and that also lost their lives at young ages . This same s ong
was rewritten and re-released in Full Circle as a tribute t o
this time, Jason Thirsk. The song starts with, " to our best
f riend—present, past and beyond; even though you w eren't
with us t oo long, your l ife is the most precious thing we could
lose. While you were here f un was never ending, laugh a
m inute o nly t he b eginning... J ason my b rother M atthew
T hirsk—this o ne's f or y ou." T he song glides into a c horus of
male voices h umming in sync t o a tune that ignites a fire
inside everyone who hears it. At the same time as being tragic,
the song catalyzes a reaction of f ervent elation f or the g ift of
brotherhood itself and f or the f ervent and accessible m emories associated with loved ones. T he new " Bro H ymn" c ontinues like the other with verses like: "if y ou're e ver in a
t ough s ituation, w e'll b e t here w ith n o h e s i t a t i o n brotherhood's our rule we cannot b end."
P ennywise c onfronts death in several other songs in Full
Circle, f or instance the song " Date With D estiny" that s ays:
"in a fall f rom a burning tower what would you do with j ust
one more hour? Live that hour every day, like it was y our
last. Y ou'll live much better that way."
The central themes of this album would be to a ppreciate
the true bond of f riendship in l ife, and to live l ife u nreservedly in f ull measure. With these f orces of inspiration as the
drive f or this album, it is an inevitable success that will surpass few scrutinizing eyes without approval.

Repetitiveness sucks life from Live's latest
By S taffer's N ame
Pride S taff W riter
Everybody's here... puke stinks like
beer," sings Edward Kowalczyk ofthe band
Live in their new album "Secret SairiadhL"
It's not much of a secret now that tfiis
album's hit single "Lakini's Juice" can be
heard consistently on MTV and radio stations. Will this single carry the album to
further glory like that of Live's previous
album Throwing Copper? Only if Secret
Samadhi's somber tone can sustain the acuity still clenched to the astounding performance of the last album.
Secret Samadhi seems to lack the spirited vivacity of the last album. Although
Throwing Copper projected a deep melancholy nature in some of the songs as well,
its songs seemed to carry more soul and
sensuality than the new songs.
Live communicates quite differently through their music than many
other comparable bands. They create a
more intellectual, sub-textual variety of
lyrics that is drawn out in an exclusively
poetic fashion. The words reflect lyric
poetry in the way that they portray irresponsibility in the face of societal reality. Live's lyrics seem driven solely by
emotion and the subconscious. Instead
of belting out the shortcomings of the
world, Live emphasizes the beauty of
language and the abstract.
The song "Heropsychodreamer"
says, "the subculture of my dreams is
waiting for me to fall asleep...I know
y ou're scared, you should be; hero,
dreamer. This attic of my mind, these
Do Y o u H a v e W h a t i t t a k e s ?
WE
WANT
YOU!
feelings I can't hide... I can't share. I feel alone,
ah yeah. The subconscious keeps me here, I
fell in love with a balladeer. I saw your tongue,
it licked my hpart. They called you queer." This
song perfectly exemplifies Secret Samadhi's
poetic and introspective manner. The music
matches this form with its mirthless and melancholic tone.
Repetition of phrases and whole verses is
also characteristic of Secret Samadhi. In
"Lakini's Juice" Kowalczyk repeats "let me
ride" several times and in "Graze" he starts
each verse with "people should not be afraid."
This type of amphora mingled with the tristful
bleakness of melody and poetic verse makes
the album considerably languid and lifeless.
However, with the hit single already in flight,
the album's pathway either to success or failure is yet undiscovered.
