police chief Arnold Trujillo resigned last week.
Trujillo, who has headed
campus security since 1992,
was replaced on an interim basis by Capt. Tom Schultheis,
second in command of the police department at San Diego
State University.
As part of the public safety
shakeup, Lt. Alicia Smith was
reassigned to another position.
Trujillo's resignation came
on the heels of a report in the
North County Times that California State University officials
had launched an investigation
into the department. The paper
reported that Susan Garcia, a
dispatcher for the CSUSM department from January 1996 to
N ovember 1997, h ad b een
questioned by CSU investigators in October concerning favoritism within the d epartment.
Garcia, currently a student at
C SUSM w ho c ould not be
reached by The Pride, told the
investigator that certain officers and dispatchers were given
choice assignments and weekends o ff, a ccording t o t he
Times. She also told the investigators that Trujillo did not
show respect to some of his officers, including Smith, the paper added.

Dome's popularity gives rise to further development
By Scott Bass
Pride staff writer
Build it and they will come. At least,
that's what the CSUSM Foundation
is hoping.
The foundation, a non-profit organization administered separately
from the university, is constructing
a new outdoor terrace at the southwest corner of the Dome.
The Dome Terrace, as it's called,
is being built in direct response to
the popularity of the Dome as a
study/social area. "The Dome is the
most popular hangout on campus,
said Marti Gray, executive director of
the CSUSM Foundation. "The expansion meets the need for more dining
and study space."
The new patio will include 3,325
square feet—of which more than
2,000 will be shaded, according to
Gray. The roof of the terrace will be
made of a sturdy canvas-like material similar to that atop the San Di-
ego Convention Center. The awning, green in color, was designed
to meld into the campus decor.
"We worked closely with the university p lanning c ommittee t o
make sure t he design c omplemented, rather than contrasted
with, the design of the existing
buildings on campus," said Gray.
The floor will be concrete slab,
consistent with the existing slabs

�-NewsShuttle offers relief for parking-weary students
By Alex Romo
Pride staff writer
How many students have
even noticed the shuttle van on
campus?
It's not all that difficult to
spot. It's white with a CSUSM
parking services emblem on the
side and is usually parked in a
convenient location on campus.
Sometimes, its side sliding
door is propped open, beckoning you to enter.
Originally, the van was introduced to help alleviate parking
congestion caused by limited
parking. But, although the
shuttle service will continue,
the parking woes have eased,
according to Dora Knoblock,
CSUSM parking coordinator.
Dome
outside the Dome.
There will be seating for approximately 180, with 60 new
tables, according to Gray. Since
the area is a magnet for strong
cold winds in the winter, Gray
said, it will be equipped with a
wind screen. "It will be 75 feet
in length and made up of brick
and tempered glass," Gray
added.
Though no heaters are
planned for the Dome Terrace
at present, Gray said, some can
be rented from party supply
companies easily.
The CSUSM Foundation operates the bookstore, as well as
the food concession inside the
Dome.
Funds for the project came
"The new student lot, No. 4,
has not filled to capacity this
fall semester," she said. "There
has been sufficient parking on
campus."
But that doesn't mean the
shuttle service is unnecessary.
Initially, the program offered
pickup and delivery to and
from the Palomar/Pomerado
Health Services facility, across
Twin Oaks Valley Road from
the university.
But it was expanded last
spring to include pick-up
points at Chavez Circle, Student Lot No. 10 and Craven
Circle.
Knoblock, who said her department is doing an analysis
to determine if the service is
cost-effective, said the shuttle
has helped the parking situation simply by encouraging students to use more distant spots.
It will remain in effect at least
until the analysis is completed,
she added.
According to Tom Weir of
Facility Services, using data
provided by the van drivers, the
number of people who use the
service has varied during the
semester.
Peak usage occurred during
the second and third week of
school, 541 and 338 passengers
respectively. Since then, weekly
ridership has averaged 202students.
Student reaction to the service has been mixed. While
some students say they'd rather
walk, others say they enjoy the
shuttle, particularly since it is
still not all that easy to find a
parking space.
Jose Perez, a history major,
said, "If I'm running late, I need
to use it because professors
take points off for being late to
class. Sometimes if I'm running
late, I'll purposely park where I
know the shuttle will be."
Ian Malone, a history/Spanish major who says he never
uses the service, suggested that
the only people who should use
it are those with illnesses, injuries or disabilities.
According to Knoblock, student comments range from
"Thank you for providing us
this service," to "I have been
waiting for over five minutes
and you guys are always late."
She adds that the parking
service is a "self-supporting
operation" which does not receive any money from the state.
Revenues from the sale of parking permits must cover its operating expenses along with the
repayment of revenue bonds
sold to construct parking facilities.
As a future goal Parking Services plans to build an information kiosk next spring to assist
students and guests.
continued from page 1
from within the foundation's
own coffers. No student fees
will be used for the project.
The terrace, along with the
existing indoor seating area,
will be available to student
groups.
Interested groups can pick
up a facilities use form from
Kay Cowan at Curriculum Services (ext. 8888).
The terrace is scheduled for
completion on Dec. 4. "As of
now we are ahead of schedule,"
said Gray. "But we know that
there is a waiting list for lighting fixtures due to the intense
growth going on in our region.
The builders are doing their
best to get them as soon as possible."

T A T ith only soccer, basketball and

CSUSM's intramural sports programs
are sparking little interest among students.
Danny Martinez, head of the program,
concedes, that "intramural sports programs at CSUSM are still in the developing stages," and adds that the lack of
attendance has made "creating a base"
for the program a challenging task.
Cost of the program is $12 for basketball, with Monday games starting at 6
p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Palomar College
gymnasium; $10 for soccer with Tuesday and Thursday pick-up games from
4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the grass area by the
campus parking lot; and $5 for dance,
which is.held Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the student
lounge.
The intramural staff has advertised
the programs withflyersand signs, but
they have drawn little student response.
There are only four teams in the basketball league, and an average of 12 participants in the soccer program, and
only six or seven dancers.
Martinez, who came t o t he program
at t he beginning of t he fall semester,
says h e will introduce more sports programs next semester, including volleyball, Softball, flag football, salsa dancing and golf.

Although periods of gloom strike everybody from

that leads to suicide, said John Segoria, interim director of CSUSM's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).
The key to preventing incidents like the one Oct. 26
is identifying depression and providing help before a

or if they are exhibiting this type of behavior, call

Ronke, simple German phrases like
these are now being heard on the
CSUSM campus, along with a lot more
complicated German sentences. Ronke
is not only the only professor currently
teaching German at the university, but
she also is the German Department's
founder.
It was not easy, either. She initially
approached CSUSM an<J asked why
there wasn't a German program. The
answer, "We don't have requests for
German," wasn't a good enough excuse
for her to accept.
So she collected 540 signatures from
high school students and high school
teachers in the area requesting that the
language be taught and, with the support of the German Goethe Institute and
the German Consulate, made a presentation to CSUSM's Foreign Language
Department.
Though the department heads were
impressed, it still took almost a year before the German program was started.
In spring 1997, though, Ronke taught
her first class, German 201. She says she
believes in a creative and progressive
learning atmosphere.

Professor measures communication on a different scale
By John Cedres
Pride staff writer
T
var A ntonsen is a s uccessful com
poser and music w riter. But his
J L mission at this moment is to help CSUSM students develop an understanding of, and appreciation
for, a wide variety of music.
A native of northern Norway, Antonsen — who was
inspired by the sounds of an accordion played by a
neighboring farmer — migrated to the United States
in 1985.
A successful pianist who has appeared on broadcasts throughout the world, Antonsen taught at San
Diego Community College for four years before going on to compose for, and performing with, several
local bands.
After performing at CSUSM two years ago with one
of his bands, Stereo Dogs, he says, a teaching position here practically fell into his lap.
For the last year and a half, he has been on the university faculty.
"Many musicians don't teach and many teachers
don't play," he says.
"It is important to communicate in many ways the
phenomenon of music."
Even though he is an experienced composer and
writer, he still considers himself an "eternal student"
who lends an ear to peers, colleagues and anyone else
who can enhance his ability.
In his music class at CSUSM, a substantial part of
the curriculum is based on studying the music of different times and different cultures.
Antonsen admits that some of the music may be a
little difficult for some students to understand, but
stresses that it's important to learn to appreciate the
"uniqueness" of all music.
"Good music is good music, wherever and whenever it's comingfrom,"he says.
Antonsen's six-year study in composition and piano at the Norwegian State Academy of Music earned
him scholarly and professional recognition.
While teaching in several European conservatories
and universities, he made countless appearances on
radio and television broadcasts, performing with such
musicians as Art Farmer, Jimmy Heitch and Joe Morello.

�Book Review
Novel reveals Eastern tradition
By Amber Lewnes
Pride staff writer
With only two CSUSM classes on the culture of Japan, most students have limited exposure to this Eastern society.
"Memoirs of A Geisha" by Arthur Golden is a tale
that reveals much about this foreign culture.
The story takes place before, during, and after World
War II in a prosperous town called Gion. Gion was
once famed for its successful geishas. The book exposes the world of geisha that most people, even most
Japanese people, never knew.
The story begins when Chiyo-chan is sold by her
father to an okiya (a geisha house). Her mother falls
deathly ill and the aging father does not believe he
can take care of Chiyo-chan and her sister.
Ripped from everything she had ever known, Chiyochan is forced to face life as a servant to a temperamental geisha named Hatsumomo. Just when she is
resigned to face an unhappy life of servitude, Chiyochan finds a way out and becomes a geisha herself.
Arthur Golden spent years in Japan researching life
at an okiya. After interviewing former geisha of that
time he began writing this historical novel.
This story not only includes psychological issues
facing a young woman, but it informs the reader of
the political and economical system the geishas developed.
Geisha were entertainers, but they were also business-women and political diplomats.
Golden titillates his audience with vivid descriptions
of the beauty and wealth geisha were accustomed to
before World War II.
Both conservatives and feminists may be disturbed
by the social and economic structure of geisha. Most
geisha would sell their virginity to the highest bidder.
Later in life, they would be financially supported in
exchange for a sexual relationship with a married man.
Golden does examine this conflict of Eastern and
Western values when the heroine finds herself being
shunned by socialites in New York at the end of her
life. They see her as nothing but a kept woman.
Men may have a hard time identifying with the main
character, but the political and economical overtones
will interest those who couldn't care less about a
woman trying to find herself.

are worth watching.
Dennis Franz ("NYPD Blue") gives a fun and memorable performance as a "fallen" angel, and Andre
Braugher ("Homicide") rounds out the supporting
cast with a solid performance.
"City of Angels" is a film that promotes conversations other than "What did you do last night?" or "How
about that game!" It is a film that both genders can
appreciate. It is rated PG-13 so the language and nudity aren't intense. Fast-forward through the love
scene if there are children or pre-teens around.
Since you've saved a small fortune by waiting for
the video, treat yourself to the soundtrack. The songs
are relaxing and the lyrics have meaning. Featured
artists include Alanis Morissette, U2, Peter Gabriel,
Eric Clapton, Sarah McLaehlan, The Goo Goo Dolls
and a jazzy song by Paula Cole called "Feelin' Love."
