But problems in providing backup power to the new Uni- versity Hall and emergency lighting in other buildings soon surfaced, forcing administrative staffers .in Craven Hall, for example, to carry flashlights to the bathroom until power was restored to the building.

At the age of 8 in her Catholic schoolroom, she says, she watched the sun shine through the window onto tall stacks of McGuffy Readers and wished that she could control those books. But, she adds, the nuns only let the students read at special times. "I was drawn to the calmness of the classroom and felt peaceful and that I belonged," she says.

P age 6 �News C.S. planners count on Proposition 'A' • With $72 million at s take, Proposition "A' would be a boon for the future development of Cal. State San Marcos BY R ICHARD M AUSER P RIDE S TAFF W RITER A good chunk of the future of CSUSM will rest in the hands of California voters next week, The fate of Proposition lA, a $9.2 billion public education bond on the Nov. 3 statewide ballot, will have a lot of impact on the CSUSM campus. The measure, which would provide funding for elementary schools through state universities, contains $72.3 million for CSUSM over the next four years. If passed, it would fund the c onstruction of t hree new buildings and the beginning of a new library and information c enter, nearly doubling the campus' square footage. "This will be a major kick," said Carol Bonomo, CSUSM director of Legislative and Civic Affairs. "It will really get the campus going." According to CSUSM officials,^ $30 million would be allocated for the construction of a science hall that would house labs, classrooms and faculty offices, and also cover the first phase of a multi-building arts and humanities complex that would include classrooms, music labs, a dance facility and a 200-seat lecture/rehearsal hall. The proposition also would designate $25.3 million to begin the process of building the $1.2 million donated to CSUSM for athletic complex A $1.2 million gift from longtime O ceanside r esident Helene Clarke will enable CA S tate San M arcos t o b egin building a much-needed field house to anchor an athletic complex and physical education program. The completed structure will be named the M. Gordon Clarke Field House in honor of Mrs. Clarke's late husband, an active sports enthusiast. The donation is the largest single gift from a living person t hat t he l o-year-old N orth County university has received. "The university community is very pleased at the generosity of Mrs. Clarke and the confidence she has shown in the future of our campus," CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez said in announcing the gift. "Generations of students will benefitfromhaving a first-class field house as part of their total university experience." M. Gordon Clarke was a longtime Hughes Tool Co. executive with an abiding love of athletics. He considered a professional b aseball career a fter competing at the University of Oklahoma but decided to follow his father's footsteps aiid go into business. However, Mrs. Clarke said her husband never lost his enthusiasm for all sports, from baseball to football to golf. "He would think nothing of picking up the phone, calling friends from around the country, and arranging a golf game for all of them, in Hawaii," she laughed. "And when we got to the airport, of course the clubs went on the plane first." Mrs. Clarke said her husband would have been 'thrilled" to know that golf is the first team sport at Cal State San Marcos, with competition that began earlier this month. "And that is why I decided to donate for the field house, because athletics was Gordon's life in so many ways. library and information center across the cul-de-sac from Craven Hall. But Bonomo says this p roject w ould need p rivate funding in addition to the public bond. Funding for the three buildings would begin in the first year if the measure is approved. The Library and Information Center would receive funding in the third year. CSUSM has suffered in the past when similar bond measures failed. Defeat of one in 1992 bond halted plans for the construction of six new campus buildings. In 1994, voters rejected one that would have funded construction of three new campus buildings. But passage of a 1996 bond funded construction of the recently completed University Hall. D espite p ast s etbacks, Bonomo said she was hopeful this time. T m optimistic. I've been talking to a lot of people about this and they seem to really care about education," she added. Proposition lA, put on the ballot in response to the recent state mandate to reduce class sizes, would provide funding to relieve overcrowding and accommodate s tudent e nroll- ment growth. It also would repair older schools and provide wiring and cabling for education technology. A ccording t o Bonomo, Proposition l A is the biggest education bond to go before the voters in California history. It would provide $6.7 billion to K12 schools and $2.5 billion to the UC, CSU and community college systems. The-CSU system would receive $832 million if the measure passes. CSUSM, with its $72.3 million, ranks second among the 23 CSU campuses. San Jose State would receive the most at $83 million. ii h i € r • Dome l liiliilllii ismiiii* III! - Ip1??;Ipfe the test BY KUO-CHANG 3 , Hi P w b e STAFF WRITER • Is bigger better?

At the same time, a Ford E xplorer w as trying to leave the lot, and a crush of students on f oot w ere s triding a cross t he driveway and street in all directions. Horns honked, the pedestrians speeded up a bit and tempers flared everywhere. Such a scenario is not uncommon at the north entrance of the parking l ot But, soon, it will be a thing of the past. Linda C. Leiter, director of CSUSM Business Services, said that tricky entrance will be closed for good starting some time in November. Vegetation will be planted across the driveway, complete with a pedestrian path leading to the Craven Drive cross walk. An information booth which will also act as a parking enforcement booth also will be built inside the parking lot, a few steps to the south and close to the lot entrance fromrGra^i^riVe. \ Lot 10 is the second largest parking lot on campus, with 482 spaces. Lot No. 106, which adjoins Lot 10 down the hill, is the largest, with 506 spaces. The Craven Drive entrance will be the only direct access to Lot 10 after the construction.

That message is greatly reinforced by the striking images in the Art Myers exhibit currently on display in the CSUSM library. Titled "Winged Victory: Altered Images Transcending Breast Cancer," it contains Myers' photos depicting women who have had lumpectomies and mastectomies. It will be on display through the end of October. Myers, an internationally known photographer and a doctor, normally commands large fees for his exhibits. But, thanks to a request by biology student Roberta Sweeney, an 11-year survi; vor of breast cancer herself, Myers gave CSUSM the opportunity to showcase his art free of charge. In 1987, Sweeney had a mastectomy and underwent a "Big Bad Regimen" of chemotherapy that same year. "I always say "breast cancer' and not just 'cancer,'" she says. "It distinguishes where and what, it takes the sting out of it. People immediately associate cancer with death, and it doesn't feel so scary to me when people hear 'breast cancer.'" Myers, who specializes in preventive medicine and public health, is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He obtained a post-doctoral degree in public health from the Graduate School of Public Health at SDSU. A self-taught photographer, he has studied with well-known artists, such as Annie Leibovitz: best known for her portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards during their sixweek 1975 American Tour; her picture of a very pregnant and naked Demi Moore on the cover of "Vanity Fair;" and one of Whoopi Goldberg in a bathtub filled with milk. In the preface to the exhibit, Myers states, "It is my hope that these pictures, right breast — , 1 still have :n 11 nave an arm an �Photography By poems and personal vignettes will reveal the persistence of a woman's beauty, strength, and femaleness in all of its complexity, even after the transforming experience of breast cancer." CSUSM Women's Studies Professor Madeleine Marshall agrees that the stigma of this cancer has impacted society. Just as images of the environment in crisis contradicts the concept of Mother Earth, she adds, the premium on young, healthy and nurturing breasts clashes f with those that are sick. Vvl f? P " PU As efforts to educate and increase fT "^ AIt&rpA IwifioPK awareness of the disease continue, she says, art such as Myers' lends a hand. Jramcending Breast Cancel Myers photographs, which include his wife Stephanie, portray survivors of different ages and backgrounds, some posing with their partners. Poems by Maria Marrocchino with titles like "Venus and Friends," "Hands That Still Nurture," and "My Hands, My Body" were created especially for the exhibit. One picture shows a couple, Lisa and Scotty, posing with his motorcycle. Lisa faces the camera wearing nothing but jeans and boots, in the text, she talks not of the couple's experience with breast cancer, but about their different i astesin motCMreycles. ^ In another picture, Dick writes about his wife Carol, the love of his life: "I feel my mother's spirit shining down on both of us." His mother had breast cancer, too. Carol sits behind the light of candles to highlight her double mastectomy withtierhusband's face emerging from the dark like a steady ray of light. In another, Tanya, who has had a left mastectomy, urges everyone to "live each day, each second, each morsel, to the fullest." She adds that she turned breast cancer into a triumph by learning to regret nothing. "I would not undo this gift of perspective, even to have my breast back," she writes. "Painted Ladies" is a picture of women wearing humorous and brightly colored body paint. Susan calls the long scar on her chest "my badge of courage." The exhibit is by no means the only campus reminder that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Sweeney herself is now an active speaker for the Komen Foundation, a national organization that advances breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. ins Vic III!

But here's what baffles me: What's the deal with the enormous back-packs? They're luggage really. Are all you tukwuts running away from home? Do you camp out after that 6-9 p.m. class so you can keep that prime parking place for your 9 a.m. the next day? ,Students never used to c any so much stuff. Since my first college go-round, back-pack sales have skyrocketed. Little w onder. W ith all t he s tuff people are packing in them these days, they must wear out l ast. And it's not just college coeds. My 5-year-old niece is part of this trend. She has a bright pink back-pack that is so heavy, I marvel she can even stand up. (That Barbie doll piggy bank certainly doesn't help matters any.) So I'd just like to know: What the heck does everybody have in theirs? I, for one, travel light. A spiral binder to take notes in class. Maybe, if I'm feeling downright studious, a textbook. My wallet, because you never know when youH need cash for caffeine. A pen and pencil, maybe even a hi-liter. That's it. What more could you possibly need? For those who think I'm exaggerating when I call these packs "luggage," how about this: I've actually seen students using luggage racks to carry their back packs. Heck, I've eyen seen a few pieces of luggage dragged around campus, literally. Where will it end? So, as I told a friend who instead of catching Padres fever last week, wanted to argue the merits of t he proposed new downtown ballpark that San Diego voters will be facing next week: Lighten up! I thank you, and your chiropractor thanks you. Acting on your financial future p owe r BY SHERRONA HILL P RIDE S T A F F W R I T E R Where do you see yourself in the next 40 years?On a beach catching rays or maybe jet-setting around the world, spending time in your winter and summer homes? For many of us in our 20s, growing older and retiring is like a fable. Unreal as the future may seem, now is the time to be planning for our golden retirement years. Social Security probably won't be around when we retire, so we can rule out that potential source of income. After we retire from our illustrious careers, we need to have a plan to ensure a good quality of life in our later years. Start with something as little as $50 a month. Right now, many of us are worried about paying tuition and bills. The majority of CSUSM students are working so we do have steady income coming in. Take advantage of investment vehicles in your jobs like 4 0i(k)s, and p rofit-sharing plans. By investing early, you have the potential to makemor^ in the long run. Especially m stock " funds that are geared toward growth of your monies. For those of you w ho are timid about messing with the stock market, you should know that investing almost always beats savings accounts. Why put $500 into a savings account that will pay you a yield of only 2 percent when you can put that $500 into a money market fund and get 5 percent return on your money? Ask your human resources people about getting into investment plans offered to fulltime employees. If you are working part time and don't qualify for these taxdeferred plans, then you can call any n umber of m utual funds companies and set up automatic investment plans. In an automatic investment plan, you can have a set amount of money taken out of your checking account every month. You won't miss that $50 or $100. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are a good way t o i nvest y our h ard-earned money too. These allow you to put away up to $2,000 a year tax free. It's something like a write off. But you can pull t he indney out any time, and as long as you put it back into the IRA within 60 days, you still don't have to pay any taxes or penalties to the Internal Revenue Service For those of you who would like to find out more about investing in your future... a little bit at a time... get the answers to your questions. i iaii^classro^ to relocafestudeiife aitdtheir professors i& pm&imiltelr class Smith added* i Di$abled stn^»ts or others requiring the use of m elevator were dble to use those te Cmvm Hali t e i natelocafions Restored in that building* ^ !

"My husband is my hero because he has always shown such strength and hope during trying times, even when he has faced recurring cancer," she says, adding that he continues to work with children by volunteering with the DARE program. He tries to convince children not to smoke and enjoys his volunteer work immensely, she says. While teaching at Carlsbad High, Huntington first heard about a program called AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) at the County Office of Education. The program offers special tutoring to potentially able high school students so that they are better prepared for college. In 1989, after a year of training, Huntington started Carlsbad High's first AVID program. Some 17 of her first 28 students went on to four-year universities. Huntington says she still gets an occasional telephone call from a former AVID student seeking advice or j ust to say hello. Huntington, who applied for C lassical North India Music to be played CSUSM Music Professor D avid T rasoff and a ccomplished I ndian m usician Abhiman Kaushal will perform classical North Indian music at I():3() a.m. Monday, Nov. 2 at Cal State San Marcos. Their concert will be held in room 102 of Academic Hall. The public is welcome and admission is free. Traditional Indian music dates back more than 3,000 years and is based on the fundamentals of raga (melody) and tala (rhythm), which are merged into a musical system capable of expressing the finest shades and degrees of color and emotion. Trasoff will play his 25-string sarod, a classical instrument with a teak body and steel fingerboard dating back 150 years in India, to the background beat of KaushaTs tabla, a classical drum of North India. Trasoff has studied sarod performance and North India classical music since 1972. He has appeared in concerts at arts centers, universities, conservatories and f estivals in t he United States, Europe, and Asia, and made several tours in India. Kaushal belongs to a family of musicians and artists, and first studied under his father, an accomplished tabla performer. jj(pM San M a r c o s X I S S a n M arcos, C A 9 2096 ;j ^ ^ ^ M e m a i l us: |||J||§1 p ride@mailhost1 . c s u s m . e d u the position at CSUSM while also trying to deal with the death of h er m other and a brother, says she really didn't think she would be chosen.
