As a result they were forced to stop practicing and have not done so for the past two months. Coach Groom stated, "Most colleges have cheerleading liability covered under the athletic department's liability, however this cheer squad is not covered under the CSUSM coverage." When asked why they could not obtain insurance on their own the Coach replied, "Three of the coaches had offered to pay, but if they did the program would inherit the cost of any liability." PRIDE STAFF WRITER Trestand Conrique, a prominent businessman in North County, has recently donated $50,000 for the construction of the new Library Information Center at CSUSM. Conrique's donation not only pushed the university over the top of its $2.5 million goal, the donation was also doubled. Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II, in a challenge grant, had pledged to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to a $500,000 total. Conrique, President of Rancho Santa Fe Technologies, is also a member of the Trust Foundation Board, a 16-member fundraising committee made up of "movers and shakers" in the community, according to Linda Fogerson, Director of Development at CSUSM. The Board is part of the driving force for private funding of the University Capital Campaign and their efforts to raise money for new facilities at CSUSM. This is not the first donation Conrique has made to the university. Last year he donated $50,000 to the athletic program at CSUSM. "Without him, the program may not have gotten out of the starting block," Fogerson said. Conrique has also pledged to donate an additional $50,000 to the construction of the M.

Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand Exhibit Comes to CSUSM Sonia Gutierrez PRIDE STAFF WRITER ~~ ~ ~ On February 2, 2000, the Arts & Lecture Series commenced the Spring semester with Roberto Salas's art exhibition, "Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand." Salas's work contrasts bright and dark colors in a struggle against and toward each hand in the series. Salas's title carries the Spanish expression "mano a mano" that does not translate perfectly into English. In Spanish, the phrase connotes "a face to face confrontation" or "a competitive struggle."^ Acrylic hand paintings in black woodenframesmake up the Salas exhibition. The hands in Salas's pieces communicate through gestures, each with an individualized tattoo. The paintings depict a range of hand gestures being purposely positioned to take on different meanings,fromthe left and right hands clenching at the fist, to open hands reaching out, and to a hand grasping a red ball with the word "rebote," which translates to "rebound" in English. «. Artist Roberto Salas sculpts a hand for his Mano a Mano show. tioned in a unique gesture with its own tattoo. Vina Matsen, a Liberal Arts major, commented on one of her favorite pieces. Vina said, "I like this hand because it seems like an older hand. The hand has more life, and it rests in supplication." The hand intrigued me as well. At first glance, the hands may seem like a repetiRed blotches resembling tive icon. However, after care- bloodstains envelop the back of the fully examining the paintings, hand. When I asked Salas the meanthe viewer sees each hand posi- ing of such marks, he said, "It's sur- prising you noticed. The hand makes reference to the Native Americans who died with Small Pox." Salas's work goes deeper than the superficiality of a painted hand. Understanding each piece demands critical observation and an appreciation for his aesthetic.

During his stay in Louisiana, he noticed diverse, unique tattoos.

The coach, when asked about why a resolution to the problem was taking so long simply replied, "red-tape." FOR THE FIRST TIME EPvcyRL Salas's sensitivity and desire as a private and public artist developed while growing up in a non-affluent neighborhood. Salas writes, "It has been my goal to improve the quality of life by making art which is accessible conceptually and physically to communities of people who are unfamiliar with sanctity of museums and galleries." Salas's humanistic ideals and his concern for the well being of humanity are qualities which earned his piece, "Dream," a place in the Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade in downtown San Diego. $20,000 CASHBONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

Willi over five months spent training, track athletes have optimistic attitudes and have set high goals for themselves. Approximately twenty-five students anticipate a season that will lead them to national competition. Returning cross-country champion, Marcus Chandler, plans to compete at the national level in the 1500-meter race. Amy Taylor, an accomplished hurdler, plans to run the 400-meter hurdles at the national level. Heather Garritson also plans on competing at the national level, running distance races ranging from 1500 to 3000 meters. Jason McLevy, Jacquline Campos, Denaye Lakotich, and Robert Villegas are also determined to qualify for national competition. The team will face strong competition in the Mt. SAC Relays. Mt. SAC is nationally recognized as a "fast track", often giving athletes an opportunity to improve their marks in magnitudes that would be more difficult to accomplish on "slower" tracks. Mt. SAC is also nationally known for its Olympic Status, holding many Olympic trials and maintaining numerous Olympic records. Meets held at Azusa Pacific University will also prove to be helpful in increasing marks, since it is a "fast track" as well. Although there are no current plans to hold meets at CSUSM's track this season, students are encouraged to drive to Long Beach, Fullerton, Pamona, Mt. San Antonio (Mt. SAC), Azusa, Irvine, Northridge and British Columbia (national competition) in support of the team! | o nly place where you can get y our textbooks What more can we say? ia • • • • •i UNIVERSITY ST I A • • mP Rm %Jr � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
