Night classes still
require flexibility
B Y EVELYN CHOROSER
T Tf you're planning to get your degree by attending night school at CSUSM, your
I options are somewhat limited at the moment."Students need to be quite flexible to
-Mdcomplete a course of study at night," said Therese Baker, CSUSM's Evening Degree
Program faculty coordinator. "There aren't that many class choices available, so night
students need to select required classes when they are offered.'?
Evening degrees are offered in history, literature and writing, social sciences, women's
studies, education and business administration. In addition, the College of Business
Administration offers an evening degree program with options in accounting, high technology management and service sector management. One-third of its courses start at 5
p.m. or later.
But it's not an easy route, Baker warns, adding that many students have asked about
making more courses available at night and on weekends. " They'd also like to have sets
of courses that could meet all their major requirements, but it's not always possible," she
adds.
It is possible to complete certain majors at night within four semesters . .. but only if a
student has fulfilled all lower-division requirements, including the foreign language, and
can take four or five courses each semester. But most evening students have full-time
jobs and family responsibilities, which limits the number of classes they are able to
handle each semester.
Normally, achieving a degree via night classes takes seven or eight terms, Baker says.
But those taking three courses each term should be able to complete the upper-division
degree requirements within five or six semesters, she adds.
Students attending night classes have to be flexible.
"I pick the class I want without concern for the time it's offered," said Debbie Holderby
who is taking two classes at night this semester and one in the late afternoon. She is able
to adjust her work schedule to meet the class requirements.
*
Don Hall, who works full-time and is trying to get accepted into a graduate studies
program in literature and writing, said it's not easy to find the few classes he needs at
night.
Kathryn Moors' work schedule allows her to attend one early morning class as well as
evening classes. "I prefer night classes as they are more relaxed and the atmosphere is
more mature," she said. "But, I don't like having to make two trips to school."
Added Laura Hopkins, another full-time worker during the day: "As a transferring
junior this fall, it was difficult to find two available classes that were required for my major.
Many of the classes needed were closed before my orientation and eligibility to register."
Said Baker: "We are hoping to begin to deliver a more focused, concentrated program
by next fall. It will guarantee to students that if they follow a pattern of courses in the
evenings and on Saturdays, they could graduate within four to five semesters."

study opens up a whole bunch of ideas for discussion by the kids."
Santa Fe attorney Robert Castille, a former
high school t eacher w ho is r epresenting the
school board, called the Cordovas' material "insulting," and added that the decision to fire them
stemmed from the sisters' unwillingness to compromise.
"The Cordovas have mishandled teaching this
sensitive subject matter," he added.
After the teachers were officially voted out on
July 7 by a board vote of 3-2, the sisters decided
to go to court. A suit challenging the dismissal
of Nadine already has been filed, and another
on behalf of Patsy will be filed soon.
One of their lawyers, Daniel Yohalem, said,
"They have a very solid case for denial of dueprocess rights."
Both sisters remain determined. "We were
doing a fantastic job. That's the saddest part,"
said Nadine. Added Patsy: " I've done npthing wrong. I followed the kids' direction. My
regret is that I didn't do enough of it."
Anti-abortionists target
schools
B Y D EBBIE HOLDERBY
Anti-abortion p rotestors calling themselves
"representatives of Jesus Christ" are targeting
area campuses.
CSUSM's turn came on Sept 30 when the
group parked a
white van on campus displaying
a h uge p hoto
of an aborted
fetus. But the
demonstration appeared
to offend both
p ro-life a nd

students and

equally.
CSUSM's

received numerous
c omplaints
a bout t he
photo, with
m any s tudents u rging college
officials to ask the protestors to leave. Some
expressed concern about the effect the photo
may have had on children.
One of the protestors, a woman carrying a
large graphic poster, came to the Commons
area at noontime and handed out literature
while students were eating lunch. Since she did
not have university approval to be on campus,
Public Safety officers walked her to the Student Affairs o ffice to fill out forms so she could
remian on campus.
When she refused to fill them out and refused to leave the campus, officers escorted her
off school grounds. All the while, said Lt. Alicia Smith, the woman was "screaming and yell-
ing" at the top of her lungs, prompting students and staff to leave their classrooms and
offices to find out what was going t>n.
While the woman screamed, a second protestor filmed the event on a hand-held video
camera.
The protestors then stood outside the university on state property near Craven Way
f or an hour, shouting at pass^ ^ g t f f l K ersby and waving the poster.

to free speech, Public Safety officials said
the woman who yelled and
screamed may have been in
violation of a state law providing, in part, that no one
may interfere with the peaceful conduct of activities in a school.
The protestors have also demonstrated at
other North County college and high school
campuses. Police at nearby Palomar College
said they have appeared near that campus several times recently. "They park their van on
Mission Avenue near the campus," said one officer. "They also have shown up at San Diego
State University."
Police said Palomar students have complained to college officials about the protestors.
Public Safety officials said the Sept. 30 demonstration was the only one at CSUSM.

�Halloween's auspicious beginnings
T T "TTalloween is not "officially" a
I
I holiday. No day off is given, and
J L J Lno federal decree is proclaimed.
Yet, Halloween has become one of the
most important and widely celebrated
festivals not only on the contemporary
American calendar, but in the world.
Halloween, or 'The day of the Dead,'
as it is more aptly referred to in many
cultures incorporates recognition of death
as a concept with rituals that remember
the deaths of individuals. The origins of
this celebration derive from the ancient
Celtic (Irish, Scottish, and Welsh) festival called Samhain.
Samhain was the New Year's Day of
• the Celts, celebrated on 1 November. It
was also a day of the dead, a time when
it was believed that the souls of those who
had died during the year were allowed
access to the land of the dead. It was
related to the season: by Samhain, the
crops should be harvested and animals brought in from the distant fields.
Many traditional beliefs and customs around the world are associated with
Samhain, most notable that night was the time of the wandering dead, the practice
of leaving offerings of food and drink to masked and costumed revelers, and the
lighting of bonfires, continued to be practiced on 31 of October, known as the Eve
of All Saints, the Eve of all Hallows, or even Hallow Even. It is the glossing of the

Hallowe'en.
Over the course of time, the spirits of
Samhain, once thought to be wild and powerful, were deemed by the Catholic church to
be something much worse: evil. The church
maintained that the gods and goddesses and
other spiritual beings of traditional religions
were diabolical deceptions, that the spiritual forces that people had experienced were
real, but they were manifestations of the
Devil, the Prince of Liars, who misled people
toward the worship of false idols. Thus, the
customs associated with Halloween came to
include representations of ghosts and human
skeletons, symbols of the dead, the devil,
witches, and other malevolent and evil creatures.
The custom of trick-or-treating, however,
is thought to have originated not with the Irish
Celts, but with a ninth-century European
custom called "souling". On November 2,
All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for
"soul cakes," made from square bread with currents. The more soul cakes the
beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of
the dead relatives of the donors.
At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death,
and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a soul's passage to heaven.

I
l b e sponsoring/hosting a celebration
^ . ^ o f Dia de los Muertos, the Day of
the Dead. Day of the Dead? Sounds gruesome! What the heck is it and why would
CAPS do this?
Dia de los Muertos is one of the most
important and festive holidays throughout
Mexico. It is a tradition built f rom pre-
Columbian as w ell as C hristian
sources.Long ago, it was thought that this
was the time when the souls of the dead
came to earth to visit, and they were welcomed with great joy and celebration. Besides community events such as parades and
d ancing, f amilies c onstuct a ltars upon
which are placed pictures, mementos, and
favorite foods of the loved ones who have
passed on. This is how the memories of our
loved ones are made joyous, how fondly they
are remembered. The altars are decorated
with incense, flowers, candles and many
other objects, including skeletons and candy
or papier mache skulls. In our hearts we
also thank them for what they gave us during their lifetime. Dia de los Muertos is a
wonderful occasion. It is a way that the
Mexican culture(s) confront death, which,
according to Octavio Paz, "...revenges us
against life, stripping it of all its vanities
and pretensions and showing it for what it
is: some bare bones and a d readful grimace."
In the words of C APS' Director, Dr.
Carlene Smith, "CAPS' mission involves
addressing the psychological needs of students by promoting wellness of mind, body
and spirit. The various peoples of the world
have all developed strategies f or achieving
psychological health that are prescribed in
cultural ritual. In presenting the Dia de los
Muertos event, CAPS affirms the wisdom
with which other cultures deal with the inevitable challenges of l ife and promote
health."

We invite you to join us in this celebration. From 10 until 2 on the Founders Plaza
on the 3rd, there will be altars set up by
various campus and community groups. On
these altars, you will find pictures and me
mentos of loved ones who have passed away,
along with their favorite foods, music, flowers, candles, and incense. These altars are
festive tributes to those we have: See how
well we remember you! How we recall all
that you gave us in your life! How lucky we
have been ! At noon, there will be a brief
presentation by Linda Amador, a member
of our staff, about the significance of the
altars. At 12:30, Professor Bonnie Bade of
the Liberal Studies Program will give a presentation on the Mexican tradition surrounding this holiday.
Join us! If you have a loved one that you'd
like to remember and honor, bring a photo
of him or her, perhaps a candle or some
food that was a favorite of his or hers to
place on an altar. If you wish, you may say
a few words about him or her, or just listen
to others.
For additional information, talk to Linda
Amador, by dropping by the CAPS office.

There is a noticable change in B ob Dylan.
D iscounting his b rush with d eath a f ew
months ago and his recent p erformance f or
the Pope* this is not the s ame man w ho
made " Blowin' in the W ind" something of
a folk anthem.
Bob Dylan is aging f ast, and on his new
album, "Time Out of M ind," he shows that
he is aging gracefully and accepts that he
is no longer the i nfluence he once was.
If you a ren't f amiliar with D ylan's w ork,'
you are missing out on some of the most
influential rock music and poetry of the 20th
century. Albums like "Highway 61 Revisited" and " Blonde on B londe," are timeless masterpieces of the 1960s, and necessary listening f or anyone who considers him
or herself a music fan of any genre.
But, as even the staunchest Dylan f ans
admit, he has put out some pretty lousy al-
PAGE 1 0
T H E P RIDE
Still Bio win' in the Wind
b ums f rom a bout 1980 o n, with only a
couple of exceptions.
Which brings us to "Time Out of Mind,"
which is D ylan's best album since 1989's
spotty "Oh Mercy," and his first of original
songs since 1991 ' s dismal "Under a Red
Sky."
Recorded before his recent illness, "Time
Out of M ind" shows that Dylan still has
the talent that made him a legend. His f ocus has shifted, f rom spokesman of an entire generation to a f ringe celebrity unrecognized by a majority of today's youth. H is
v oice s ounds w eathered and s trained at
times, but determined and compelling at the
same time.
The a lbum's first track, "Love Sick,' is
an atmospheric and bitter tone-setter. " I'm
sick of love, and I 'm,in the thick of it,"
s ings D ylan on t he s ong's c horus. As a
whole, the album has a very bluesy feel to
it.
The 16-minute "highlands" is an examination of D ylan's life f rom his point of view
today, and shows that he is not necessarily
c omfortable with his f ading visibility and
a ge, but h as c ome t o understand that he
cannot relive his glory days.
Dylan is not the type to bluster about in
his mid-50s like the Rolling Stones do today. D ylan's strength has always come in
h is honesty, and that is something it seems
he will always retain.
Dylan was such an overachiever early in
his career that everything else he does can
only pale in comparison, and he will never
be able to relive his glory days. All he can
d o is keep on going, and that seems to be a
looming theme in the album*
Musically, producer Daniel Lanois (best
known as the producer f or U2) helps create
a strong yet unobtrusive sonic atmosphere,
and allows D ylan's voice to carry the album, which works wonderfully.
"Time Out of M ind" is an essential f or
the Dylan aficionado, as both another chapter in hi&musical library and as the triumphant return of a legend. It is also his most
accessible album in y ears, f or the Dylan
curious.
But if y ou've never been exposed to early
Dylan, raid the local music store's used L P
section f or a couple of gems. You w on't be
disappointed.

The pictures seem out of place in an upscale c offee shop.
Perhaps you have noticed them as you sat
waiting in your local Starbucks f or a c afe
latte or f rappucino. T he h uge, poster-size
photos hanging on the walls show workers, likely f rom Central America, picking
c offee berries f rom trees or sorting c offee
beans on long tables.
The images were intended to lend atmosphere to the store, but maybe you wondered
whether there were stories behind the workers.
Sandra Benitez brings their world t o our
eyes in her new novel, "Bitter G rounds"
(Hyperion Press. 4 44 pp.). Profiled in the
last issue of the Pride, Benitez shared the
insights and motivations, which led her to
write of her recollections growing u p in El
Salvador prior to that c ountry's civil war
in the ' 80s.
The fictional story t hat u nfolds i n "Bitter
G rounds" c ombines her e xperience as a
member of the Sal vadoran upper class with
A review of Bitter Grounds
the stories of her f amily's campesino (peasant) servants. "Bitter Grounds" is a episodic
story told through the lives of three successive generations of women from two families, the P rietos ( Mercedes, J acinta, and
Maria-Mercedes) and the Contreras (Elena,
Magda, and Flor). The Prietos work as domestic s ervants f or t he u pper c lass
C ontreras.
Benitez draws parallels and divisions between the d isparate cultural classes. The
Prietos are Pipil Indians who, at the onset
of the story in 1932, still speak Nahautl,
the ancient language of the Aztecs. As with
many Indian groups throughout the Americas, they live in poverty, exist on subsistence crops like corn and beans, and s uffer
cultural discrimination and injustice. Their
main source of income comes f rom laboring on vast c offee plantations f or rich landowners who often underpay them.
The Contreras own one of the most prosperous plantations in El Salvador. Benitez
portrays them as savvy business people who
stay ahead of the market through accurate
forecasting, innovation and diversity. But
she also portrays thefn as compassionate
people, particularly the women, who are not
totally oblivious to the plight of their servants.
Limited friendships within the c onfines
of class division form between the corresponding g enerations of P rieto a nd
Contreras women.
Both families endure trials and tribulations t hroughout the n ovel, which is set
f rom 1932 through 1977. T he women of
the two families deal with emotional heartache over such issues as spousal relations
and family strife, although admittedly oil
different levels.
They must also deal with the growing
d omestic violence, which t hreatens their
security and hurtles their tiny nation toward
an uncertain future.
Historically accurate, Benitez uses the
events occurring in El Salvador to provide
the basic timeframe f or her story. All of the
described events, f rom la
m atanza (the m assacre) at the beginning
of the book to the government seizure of
plantations near the end, really happened.
It lends authenticity to the stories presented
in "Bitter Grounds."
Reminiscent of the Amy T an's " The Joy
Luck C lub," the main thrust of B enitez's
novel c oncerns the mother/daughter relationships w ithin t he P rietos a nd t he
Contreras. Although their lives o ften overlap, Benitez m anages t o prevent confusion
distinguishing the generations by presenting their respective lives in serial fashion,
r ather than t he o ut-of-sequence m anner
employed by Tan.
B enitez cleverly uses a fictional radio
telenovela (Spanish soap opera) to parallel
and forecast the lives of her main characters throughout the book.
"Bitter G rounds" uses irony and fate to
link the lives of the Prietos and Contreras

�Bitter Grounds
continued from page 10
tighter and tighter as the novel progresses.
Despite their cultural and class differences,
the families' futures intertwine until the f inal climatic convergence* which binds them
to a common violent fate.
Benitez masterfully writes this scene in a
manner which stuns the reader, a la A lfred
Hitchcock.
Although "Bitter G rounds" dabbles in
magic realism, the h allmark of H ispanic
literature, it does not d o so nearly on the
level of Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me Ultima"
or Isabel Allende's "House of Spirits," or
any number of novels written by Gabriel
Garcia Marquez, Benitez's professed favorite author and literary influence.
B ut, t his d oes not d iminish " Bitter
Grounds." Rather, Benitez fashions both the
characters and plot to a level that compels
r eaders t o i mmerse t hemselves into the
story.
Fish House Vera
Cruz offers fine
dining
If you're looking f or elegant dining in a casual atmosphere with, uh, life like surroundings, The Fish House Vera Cruz i s the perfect choice.
Located in San M arcos' Restaurant Row,
The Fish House takes its name seriously.
It's a dimly lit, grotto-style restaurant with
huge aquariums forming most of its inner
walls and partitions. But the inhabitants are
a far cry from goldfish and seaweed. Sand
sharks, lion and clown fish, an octopus and
even a huge, zebra-striped eel make up the
more interesting sights p atrons can gaze
upon while dining.
Despite all this grandeur, the atmosphere
is relaxed and comfortable. Jeans and a T shirts are just as acceptable as suits and ties.
The food corresponds well with its surroundings. The menu consists completely
of fish. There are no chicken or beef copouts.
There is also a w onderful selection of
wines to complement all dishes. T he restaurant is currently featuring a Chardonnay
called La Crema f or a v e r y good price. It
has a light, fruity, almost buttery flavor that
goes very well with fish. It is honestly the
best wine I have ever tasted.
There's a small list of five or six appetizers to choose from. T he Oysters Rockefeller,
in particular, is outstanding, rich enough
to please any connossieun
Entrees consist mainly of f resh fish, but
there are shellfish options as well as seafood salads offered. But the primary focus
is on fish.
For side dishes, you can pick up to three,
r ange f rom rice pilaf and steamed vegetables t o a green salad and soup.
The swordfish is a good bet, as is the red
snapper. Both are grilled to perfection and
basted with a light garlic-butter sauce. The
portions are good-sized and you won't leave
still hungry. But, j ust in case you still have
room, Fish House has a modest selection of
classic desserts. Nothing too exciting, just
your basic cheesecake, chocolate ganache
and berry pies.
However, all of this excellence doesn't
come cheaply. The Fish House Vera Cruz
is not a place the average student can afford m ore than once every few months.
Appetizers range from $5.95 to $8.95. Entrees start at $8.95 and can go as high as
$22.95. For desserts, expect to pay $3.95
to $5.95. The La Crema Chardonnay wine
was priced at $21 a bottle.
Altogether, it is a meal that can lighten
your wallet considerably. But it is well worth
it. T he food and atmosphere combines to
create an unforgettable dining experience.
You definitely get your money's worth.
R eservations are not needed (or even
taken f or parties of less than eight). The
next time you want to take a few steps up

B Y A MY H UDSON
There's a new restaurant in t own. T he
China Wokery has recently opened its doors
f or business. It is located at Old California
Restaurant Row off of
S an M arcos B lvd.
T he s erving s ize of
each m aindish platter
can feed at least three
people and the prices ,
are very reasonable.
The assorted appetizer platter is an excellent way to start off
dinner. This platter feeds two individuals
and provides a sample of egg rolls, dumplings, spare ribs, lemon chicken and fried
wontons. The price is $8.95.
China Wokery has specialty platters such
as Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Pork
Hunan Style and T reasures of t he S ea.
These platters run f rom $8.95-13.50. In
addition to their specialties, China Wokery
also has a large assortment of soups, salads
and side orders. The price for these dishes
range from $4.95-8.95.
For those of
you who are vegetarian, d on't count this
p lace out yet. Not
o nly d o t hey h ave

dedicate a portion of

p latters.
T hese
i nclude
S aut£ed B roccoli
w ith G arlic S auce,
Tofu and Mixed Vegetables, and Vegetarian Moo-Shu. Prices
are $7.50 per plate. The ambiance is characteristic of a Chinese restaurant. There
are many artifacts f rom the Chinese culture which decorate the walls.
The restaurant has vaulted ceilings and wooden
beams that allow f or a more open experience. I t's a semi-casual setting and a great
place to impress a date. The wait staff is
very attentive and courteous, I highly recommend the China Wokery for either lunch
or dinner. Lunch prices run from $5.958.50.

If you d on't fill up on the complimentary chips and salsa, which is made freshly
each day, you might want to try the shrimp
ceviche tostada as an appetizer. Served on
an o pen-face t ostada with bay s hrimp,

it makes for a delicious, spicy beginning.
A long w ith t he t ypical e ntrees o f

suprisingly filling with lots of chicken,

Best of all are the prices, entrees are
