Calendar of Events California State University, San Marcos ... 8 Vandals hurled eggs and blue paint at the banner of Ernesto " Che" Guevara late Wednesday night. The banner was hung prominently on the Science Hall building on Wednesday. The vandals not only d efaced the banner but, due to their poor aim, the Science Building was defaced as well. Facilities' preliminary attempt to clean the building f ailed and f urther requires either a stronger cleaning solution, or possibly even the grinding down of the wall. The p etty vandalism, t hough/ did not stop MEChA (El Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano d e Aztlan) f rom honoring Che Guevara on the 3 0 ^ anniversary of his death. Ricardo Favela, vice president of MEChA stated that " it's not going t o stop , us or slow us down." The banner was cleaned and hung once again the next day. The film, "El Che", and bilingual discussion on Che Guevara, sponsored by MEChA, drew standing-room^only attendance the following Thursday in Commons 2 06. The discussion was set up, according to Favela, as an educational program on Che Guevara. P rofessor Anibal Yanez-Chavez and special guest speaker Hector Muro, f rom Mexicanos Unidos en Defensia del Pueblo, led the discussion on Guevara's legacy and relevance to the problems facing us today. The discussion covered many different aspects of Guevara's legacy, including his status as a people's revolutionary hero as well as his economic, political, and social ideology. The discussion also covered the continued exploitation of the Latino and Chicano community, institutional separation of Latinos f rom their culture, and the commercialization of G uevara's image without the ideology he stood for. Although the discussion was primarily pro-Guevara, t here were critical questions concerning his stands on issues such, as communism and religion. As a young pre-med. student traveling through Latin America, Che witnessed the P9verty of the people. He was convinced, that the only way to help the people was t hroughtevolution. He is well-known f or his role in the Cuban Revolution and in the uprisings in Zaire and Bolivia. A medical doctor, Che started schools, hospitals, and a "people's" newspaper in his lifetime. He was also the .author of theoretical works on economics, society, and guerrilla warfare. Some of his works include Socialism and Man in Cuba, Guerrilla Warfare, and Che Guevara and the Cuban Revolution: Writings and Speeches of Ernesto Che Guevara. Seventh Annual CSUSM Pow Wow Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER Drumming and singing could be heard all over the campus on October 2 and 3 as C SUSM's 7th. annual Pow Wow took place on the campus soccer field. Representatives f rom more than 50 tribes gathered along with more than 25 vendors and numerous student and community organizations f or what one participant described as "a time to celebrate being Indian." The smell of burning sage wafted across the field as the drums ushered each group of dancers into the arena. An announcer on the stage introduced the groups and explained the significance of the dances as well as the protocol f or the spectators gathered around the edges of the arena t o watch the dahcers. Those not watching the dancing strolled around under the tents that lined t he field as vendors sold jewelry, clothing, books, artwork and f ood. "This is a family gathering," said Thomas Weir, chair of site planning and logistics f or the Pow Wow committee, who explained that the head dancers chosen f or the Pow Wow symbolized the members of a traditional family. " It's also a good time to reclaim old acquaintances." Diana Zapata thought about her reasons f or coming to the Pow Wow while taking part in an intertribal dance with her family. "We came h ere," she said, "because w e want t o increase our cultural awareness." C SUSM's Pow Wow is also known as a "veterans Pow Wow" because an estimated 80% of the adult male participants are veterans, according to Weir. The Pow Wow featured many specialty dances. One dance performed was the Gourd Dance, which h onors all veterans. Gourd dancers wear their military service medals proudly on their traditional red shawls and carry gourd shakers in their right hands. The warrior image is a very significant aspect of Indian culture, and that importance is r eflected at the Pow Wow. During t he grand entry f lags f rom all branches of the armed services are carried around the arena. Dancers, vendors, organizers and spectators had many reasons f or attending this y ear's Pow Wow, ranging f rom the lush grass and the good weather to an appreciation f or an event known to be a small and intimate gathering. "This i s h omey," said arena director Charlie Silverwater. "At other, bigger Pow Wows people tend t o get lost." "This is a good way to learn about Indian culture," said vendor D elphina Oclitso-Barr, a N avajo Indian.

If you find that email them to psychefairy@hotmail.com have a problem with this col- these dates are willfiilly entered, Dear Psyche Fairy, scrutiny placed upon Greek Organizations, a letter to the editor in the October 4 edition further proved this point. This letter to the editor strengthens the argument regarding the stereotypes, and ignorance toward Greek Letter Organizations. Maybe i t's because some are intimidated by the idea of an organization designed to contribute and provide support to not only its members, but its surrounding community. Greek Organizations here at CSU San Marcos and throughout the country do more community service and help the American Public than any other NON-PROFIT Organization. However when something goes wrong Greeks are the first to blame, similar to the blatant attack at one of these organizations in that letter to the editor, evoked entirely because of a simple misquote. It's as if these organizations are constantly being judged and scrutinized by a relentless eye, and at the first sign of difficulty the vultures are quick to attack. I 'm left to wonder what could evoke this ignorance in a community, which we strive to help each day of our lives? Maybe they are threatened by the leadership skills that these organizations impose upon their members, and the high potentials that each individual is encouraged to strive towards. Is it just coincidence that almost 40 Presidents of the United States were in a social Fraternity, or that 90 percent of all President and C EO's of Fortune 500 Companies were in Greek Letter Organizations? Even looking at leadership here at CSU San Marcos ASI President Waleed Delawari, ASI Programming Rep Mbalaka Monololo, and Undergraduate Rep Jesus Corona are all in Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. ASI Vice President Robert Radovich is in Tau Kappa Epsilon, ASI College of Business Rep Newsha Digius, and Inter Club Council Vice Chair Arti Patel are in Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. It's obvious that Greek Organizations are serious when they claim to develop individuals who get involved, and make a difference. When people try to discredit and belittle these organizations, which stand to make a difference and help those who are less fortunate, says a lot for the world we live in. There remains little room to ponder why there are less acts of good will and kindhearted people in our society. Dean Manship Inter Club Council Chairman Greek Presidents Council Chairman & President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity EDITORS' RESPONSE In The Pride Vol. VII issue 6 October 4, 1999, and The Pride Vol. VII issue 5 September 27,1999, you will note that the stereotypes to which you refer are not found in the articles run in The Pride. Rather, in both the "First Annual Child Trot Fest Pulls Together Student Organizations, " and "Brotherhood on Campus" articles The Pride portrayed social Greek fraternities evenhandedly and in a positive light. The stereotypes which you so ardently argue against are those expressed by some members of the campus community. The Pride supports the efforts of the Greek fraternities in their efforts to combat the stereotypes which they face. by Cindy Tagliapietra PRIDE STAFF WRITER Who is Tukwut?

Funeral services were held on Wednesday at Eternal Hills in Oceanside f or the dean who was known affectionately on campus as 'Sandy.' The Student Affairs Office has placed a collage of pictures, a short biography, and a poem in Sandy's honor by the door to their o ffice in remembrance of the Dean and as an "expression of their sadness at her passing. Though obviously affected by the loss, the o ffice does not anticipate any disruption in student services as a result. Former Director of Housing Susan Mitchell was appointed Interim Dean of Students a fter Sandy Kuchler exercised an early retirement option at the beginning of August. It is with deepest sympathy that I inform you of the passing of Sandra Kuchler after a two-year struggle with cancer. As Director of Student Development Services, she led the development of Counseling and Psychological Services, Disabled Student Services and Health Services programs. Sandy became especially interested and effective in serving non-traditional students. In 1993, she was appointed Associate Dean of Students and served until 1998, when she became Dean of Students. Sandy had been a part of our community since 1981, when she was appointed Assistant Dean f or Students at what was then SDSU's North County Center. She worked closely with outreach and recruitment efforts and was a major factor in the C enter's growth f rom 167 to 2,000 stu-^ dents.

Gordon Clark Athletic Field House, partially funded by a $1.2 million donation made by Helen Clark in honor of her late husband. The total expected cost of the project, to be completed in November 2001, is $7.1 million. $1.4 million is to come from donations while "most of the f unds, $4.5 million, will come f rom student f ees assessed over the next several years," says the North County Times. The 35,000 square foot facility will house weight rooms, locker rooms, and o ffice space. For those of you unacquainted with the struggle of the United Farm Workers of America, a profound exhibit is currently on display in our CSUSM Library. Photojournalist and multi-media artist Victor Aleman offers prolific images of the courageous journey of Cesar Chavez in a photo art exhibit entitled "On Cesar Chavez Side." Depicting the struggle and plight of California's farm workers through Chavez' work, Aleman captures the human condition that Chavez strove to shed light upon.

Voters passed Proposition 1A in November making state bond money available for the new library, adding to the $1 million donation received from Rancho Santa Fe residents Jean and W.

It will measure 198,000 square feet, and is expected to hold 840,000 printed volumes with seating for 1,600 students. This dwarfs the current Library Services location, which takes up only 34,000 square feet of Craven Hall and holds about 150,000 bound books. Once the LIC is completed, the existing library space is to be used f or a Student Information center. "You have breast cancer" is a sentence no one wants to hear in her lifetime. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Pride will print articles concerning this important issue as a special service to the women and men at CSUSM. 6. (A diagnosis of breast cancer i s an emergency.) Most breast cancers have been present for eight to ten years by the time you can f eel a lump, and s o there certainly i s time for you to get a second opinion, to read, and to f ully explore the options. Ten Myths about Breast Cancer (from Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book) * Some health professionals do not agree with Dr. Love on this issue. 7. (A mastectomy ensures that the cancer i s gone forever.) Mastectomy will remove the breast, however, it will not guarantee that the cancer will not recur. Eight to ten percent of women will have a recurrence in the scar after a mastectomy and there is also the p ossibility o f metastases (spreading). Lumpectomy and radiation are as good as mastectomy in preventing breast cancer from returning. 1. (Having f ibrocystic disease increases your risk of breast cancer.) Fibrocystic disease i s a general term for any benign process in the breast and does not increase the risk of breast cancer. 2. ( Coffee increases your risk of breast cancer.) C offee was once thought to increase the symptoms of fibrocystic disease. This was found not to be true and, in some statistics, c offee prevents breast cancer. 3. (Only women with a family history o f breast-cancer are at risk.) 80% of women who develop breast cancer have no family history, although women who have a family history of breast cancer are at increased risk. 4. (Mammography is 100% accurate in early breast cancer detection.) Mammography is a very important tool for detecting breast cancer early, however, it is not 100% accurate.* Any woman who has a lump ^nd has a normal mammogram still needs to have it checked out. 5. (Older women don't have to worry about • breast cancer.) The older you are, the higher your risk of breast cancer. So all women need to worry about breast cancer. 8. (A breast cancer diagnosis i s a death sentence.) We cure most early breast cancer with standard treatments. Even women who are not cured of breast cancer are certainly able to add three to f ive disease-free years to their l ives. 9. (Breast s elf-exams done routinely will find all cancers at a curable state.) Breast s elf-exams have never been shown to make a difference in the mortality of breast cancer. It i s wishful thinking to b elieve it can always find cancer at a curable stage. 10. (Only women get breast cancer.) Men are also able to get breast cancer and, in fact, there are some 5 00 cases every year of breast cancer in men in this country. As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it would seem only natural to include a "How to do a Breast Self-Exam" for the women at CSUSM. This three-step technique comes to you courtesy of The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The best time to examine your breasts i s during the week after your period. That's when your breasts will be s oftest and least tender, and a lump will be easiest to find. You might feel uncomfortable and afraid the first f ew times you examine your breasts, but the more you get to know the characteristics of your breasts, the more comfortable the exam will become. In the shower: Raise one arm and place your hand on the back of your head. S lowly and methodically, move the pads of your fingertips over the breast in a circular pattern. Don't forget to f eel in the armpit area. Repeat on the other side. Before a mirror: With your arms resting at your sides, look for changes in the shape of your breasts, as well as s welling, dimpling, or indentations in the skin, or changes in the skin or nipples. Then raise your arms over your head and repeat the procedure. Finally, place the palms of your hands on your hips and press down s o that your chest muscles f lex; again, look for changes in the breasts and nipples. Lying down: Lie down and put a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using the pads of your fingertips, make the same circular.pattern of your right breast as y ou did in the shower. Don't forget to feel the armpit and the chest area from the collarbone to below the breast. Repeat, using firmer pressure. Squeeze the nipple gently to see if there's any discharge. Repeat the procedure on the l eft breast. Report any strange findings or changes to your doctor right away! �4 ® fje P r t b e Monday, October 11, 1 999 Rape Aggression Defense Class for Women Victoria B. Segall PRIDE STAFF WRITER One in four college women have reportedly been sexually assaulted during their college years, according to a Ms. Magazine Poll that studied sexual assault and rape. CSUSM has 5,600 students, 2/3 of whom are female. The statistics indicate that of the 3,700 females, 25% of the women on campus may fall victim to rape.?— a frightening concept. Fortunately there are ways women on campus can protect themselves and reduce their risks, of being attacked. One way is through CSUSM's Rape Aggression Defense Class for Women (RAD). RAD begins Wednesday, October 13, and runs through October 22. There are four class dates total, two Wednesday and two Friday night classes from 6:30pm - 9:30pm in the Visual & Performing Arts Annex. More RAD Classes will be offered every other month Rape Aggression Defense Classes for Women are present in several colleges and universities across the country. RAD was developed in Virginia in 1978 by a retired police officer. According to Larry Dadeau, Executive Director of RAD, the objective of the classes are: "To develop and enhance the options of self-defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked." RAD has been present at CSUSM f or about f ive years. The RAD classes teach selfdefense strategies—practicing both physical and verbal techniques and, most importantly, teach the women how to become more aware of their surroundings and avoid dangerous situations. Students also gain additional information f rom guest speakers like locksmiths and members of the Escondido Youth Encounter. Perhaps the most exciting part of RAD is the last night of class. On the last night the students take part in individual attack simulations where they will experience three set-scenarios. The set scenarios will include at least two "attackers,"including instructor Officer Mario Sainz, dressed in protective head and body gear. In the event that the s tudent may become nervous and " freeze," the control monitor, who oversees the scenario, will stop the scenario and continue the simu- lation when the student is ready. Instructors design the classes to suit the needs of the students of RAD; participants have ranged f rom ages twelve to eighty-three years old. m T he instructors go through rigorous physical training and tests and volunteer their time to teach the classes. Officer Mario Sainz, who has been teaching the class f or almost six years, is the official instructor f or RAD. B arb Acevedo has been assisting in classes f or the last f our years and has been an See RAD pg. 5 Freshmen Fat Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER "The Freshman F ifteen." You may have had it. Some still carry the burden well beyond their freshman year. What is it? The phenomenon of first year college freshman gaining fifteen pounds of body weight. "It happens, and do you know why? Pizza. Pizza and soda are the number one cause" says Susan Carman, Licensed Vocational Nurse and CSUSM Health Educator. Students who think that they might need to make a change in their diet can eliminate the guesswork by consulting the CSUSM Student Health Services Center? Students can schedule a thirtyniinute appointment to receive a FREE computerized nutritional analysis of their diet, or a FREE Body Composition Analysis that details an individual's percentage of body fat, ideal weight, and basal metabolic rate. One could even schedule an hour-long appointment and do them both. The body composition analysis is typically priced between $50-75 at a health spa. The f ree services do not stop there. With every scheduled appointment, students can also get nutritional counseling f rom Susan Carman and her 15 years of experience. "I work with foods the person likes to eat," says Carman, adding "Pizza i sn't all bad. It j ust needs to be balanced with a salad." I t's difficult to make radical changes. Carman d oesn't promote food restriction but prefers that students "add in healthy f oods." For many freshmen, attending college is their first experience away from the home. O ften students must rearrange their daily routine to f it their new class, study, and social schedules. Diet and exercise are often the first to be compromised. When asked to reflect on "The Campus Beat" question in the September 26th issue of The Pride, "If you could change anything in the cafeteria, what would it b e?" Carman responded " I'd like to see them have nutritional values available f or all of the f oods. I 've made suggestions b efore, but they seldom listen." Sounds like the supervisors f rom the Dome need to call 750-4915 and schedule an appointment to use the "Nutritionist 4 " computerized nutritional analysis program. why say it twice when once will suffice?

Adra Hallford GOGEEKI PRIDE STAFF WRITER Joni Miller Computer friendships and romantic relationships come as no surprise with the spread of the Internet in the everyday lives of most people. It is not unusual to hope f or the blossoming of " cyber-love" into an "in-theflesh," physical relationship. But oh, Psyche Fairy and others, be forewarned! Danger can lurk in the shadows of deceptively innocent binary data and online flirtation. To explain, the same types of predators who stalk people in the non-digital world have found a new realm of darkness in which to gather information and find cover on the Internet. Here i s but one way these stalkers win over the unsuspecting: It is relatively easy to lurk in a chat room, observe who is talk- ing to whom, and get on someone's email list. When emails are sent, most people include their recipient list in the to: field of the message. Recipients names and addresses are often listed here. Once these names and addresses go out, the lurker can then go back to the chat room armed with name, screen name, email address* and after a quick to any online White Pages service, the phone number, physical address, and even a point to point map to the home of almost anyone from the list. The lurker, who should now be considered a stalker, can pretend to know people known to those with whom he/she is corresponding. A Mend of a friend has more credibility than a stranger, and trust is more easily gained in this manner. From here, life becomes a waking nightmare for*the victim of the stalker. So, how does one engage in online romance without risking being stalked? First and foremost, proceed with caution. Protect your information and you protect yourself. Protect yourself and your friends by putting email addresses in the bcc: field (blind carbon copy). When that new cyber-love wants to meet, ask f or references. If that offends him/her, drop this cyberloser faster than T1 line download time! Before meeting, make sure that you have thoroughly checked out their references. Finally, meet at the local police station. That should cool the j ets of most ne'er-do-wells. How you proceed wiH decide if you think lovebytes means online love in its fullest expression, or love bites.

While looking to enroll at SDSU, she was steered to CSUSM, which was closer to her home in North County. Having had an interest in the arts and writing in high school, she chose Liberal Arts as her major. The university offered academically challenging course work, small classes, and a dedicated faculty. Focused on finishing her college education, Robin found that CSUSM would satisfy her academic objective. " I had a sense of earnestness, commitment and desire to learn, traits that are common f or re-entry students," she says, " I found every class fascinating and each professor someone I wanted to get to know." After receiving her Bachelors degree in 1992, Dr. Ken Mendoza convinced Robin to go on f or a Ph.D.. Keehn applied to UCSD and was accepted to the Literature and Writing Department. There she interacted with students who had graduated f rom prestigious universities such as Yale and Princeton. When asked if it was intimidating to compete with the other students she replied, "The education I received at CSUSM gave me absolute confidence to reach my goal." Today, you will find her name on a plaque in Craven Hall among CSUSM's first graduating class. Even more impressive, Dr. Keehn teaches in the Literature and Writing department and is the director of CSUSM's Writing Center. She says of her accomplishment, "It may sound cliche, but it is a dream come true. I am thrilled and privileged to be here." Dr. Keehn, a native San Diegan, lives in North County with her husband and four-yearold daughter. Her husband, who was also a re-entry student, teaches English at the local community college. Sharing some r e-entry. wisdom Robin says, "don'fcfocuson what you should have done but concentrate and enjoy what y ou're doing now." She invites re-entry students to contact her at the Writing Center. Pow Wow Cont. from pg. 1 Although our version of the Pow Wow is a modern development, it has roots in ancient traditions. History Professor A1 Schwartz explained that the name "Pow Wow" comes f rom the Algonquin word for "doctor" and has evolved into its presentday meaning because of the dancing and drumming which accompanied* the healing process. "The modern Pow Wow is less than a century old, but it connects to things that are 5000 years old," he said. year. Along with the organ izers, he credited the approximately 50 volunteers, many of them CSUSM students, with making the Pow Wow happen. she thought Pow Wows perpetuated stereotypes about Indians, Oclitso-Barr suggested that people should look beyond the Pow Wow to learn about other aspects of Indian life. "This is j ust the f ace" of a rich cultural tradition, she said. "There's a lot more to it." Part cultural expression, part spiritual ritual, part social gathering, the Pow Wow represented different things to different people as they watched and listened, ate and shopped. " It's a time f or rejoicing about what we have," said Ernest Black Wolf Flebotte, a vendor, Gpurd Dancer, Vietnam veteran, and Algonquin Indian f rom Canada. The Pow Wow at CSUSM has • » •. grown tremendously f rom its humble beginnings as a storytelling session attended by 300400 people in the faculty parking lot. Weir estimated that 5000 to 7000 attended the Pow Wow this PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride The goal of the Pow Wow is not to make a profit, Weir said, but to break even. The Pow Wow hopes each year to put away some seed money for the next year, so that the committee is not starting f rom scratch. "So f ar w e've been successful." One person who was extremely happy about that success was Dr. David Whitehorse, professor of education and co-chair of this year's event. "This is the best thing the university puts on," he said. PRIDE STAFF WRITER When you hear the words "Geek L ife," what images come to mind? Do you picture scenes f rom "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," like Carlton Banks dancing, or the unforgettable Steve Erkel on "Family Matters"? Or are you completely oblivious and could care less about Geek L ife on campus? Either way, you should be a little curious because Geeks can be found in the classrooms of every college, and they riiay even be future co-workers. Would you have ever guessed that the likes of Bill Gates, Robin Williams, E ltonJohn, R2D2, and all of "The Wallflowers" were GEEKS? I have information f rom good sources that there were many famous historical GEEKS, long before the American Greek L ife craze of 1776. The likes of Beethoven, Napoleon, Socrates and Jesus are j ust a few with Geek roots. The good news about GEEK LIFE is that GEEKS ARE OUT! Yes, Geeks never were in the closet! Geeks d on't have to give secret handshakes, have mottoes, or take oaths t o discuss their revolutionary ideas. In fact, Geeks have infiltrated CSUSM, You may have seen a few of us on campus. W hile Greeks are busy with RUSH the first few weeks of class, a Geek d oesn't rush into anything. In fact, a Geek may wander aimlessly throughout the campus, (so as not to look lost), arriving fashionably late to class. While Greeks require an evening gown or black tie ensemble for various functions, a Geek may. easily show up i h T-shirts and jeans, Birkenstocks, any rubber-soled shoe, or a stylish oxford without socks. A BMW may be the Greek's choice of transportation, but not a Geek's. A Geek seeks out alternative modes of transportation to promote and encourage a healthy environment for humans and other living creatures. An occasional Geek can be seen purchasing their monthly student bus pass at the ASI office, locking up their trusty bicycle steed outside of the dome, or (my personal choice) riding a little red scooter. I have reason to believe that you probably know a Geek, or even have one in your family! Then again, there is always the chance that, yes, you too could be a GEEK. The following is a questionnaire to see if you are a GEEK: 1. Are you a slave to fashion? 2. Do you drive your daddy's BMW to school? 3. Do you watch every episode of Ally McBeal? 4. Have you secretly wished you were in a fraternity/sorority? If you answered NO to two or more of these questions you may be a GEEK or have strong GEEK tendencies. But FEAR NOT! I hereby offer the students of Cal State San Marcos the alternative to Greek Life. GEEK LIFE! There is NO criteria for geeks, no bids for membership, or chance of exclusivity. One does not have to hold high social status in the community, nor have a minimum income. You will never be asked to wear formal attire, at any time. If this sounds too good to be true, you are on your way to being a GEEK! If by chance you are still a little shy, perhaps f earful of what others may think of you, you may not be ready j ust yet. Give it time. Your true identity will come forth; there is no denying GEEKNESS. After all, CSUSM is an institution of diversity is it not? GO GEEKS! If you feel you may be a GEEK but are afraid to come out, please feel f ree to contact the Geek email hotline at scootergeek@yahoo.com. May the GEEKS be with you. RAD Continued From pg. 4 instructor for one year. One reason Barb primarily chose to take the classes was the rise in the occurrence of rape in her city, Escondido. After taking the class, she was impressed by the number of defense options she had learned. "It's nice to know y ou're doing something for yourself," Barb said. There are also two separate RAD classes for children ages 5-7 and ages 8-10. This class has been present in CSUSM f or two years. In the RAD Class for Kids the children learn how to prevent accidents around the house, how to react to strangers, bike-helmet safety, firesafety, and a collection of other useful lessons for children. Children will learn physical defense techniques like soccer kicks, shin kicks, and eye-pokes. RAD for Kids also contains a simulation during the last class, however it is much more simple than the adult class. For example the scenario might end with the child running f rom the scene, picking up the phone and calling f or help. The RAD Classes for Kids take place on Saturdays, October 16, 23, and 30 f rom 1:00pm - 4:00pm each day at the VPA Annex. The children's training book is $15, the adult training book is $20, and parking is $3. For more information call Officer Mario Sainz at (760) 750-4567 or Barb Acevedo at (760) 750-4481 and check out the RAD webpage at: http://ww2.csusm.edu/public safetv/radpagehtml �Paul Blanchard PRIDE STAFF W RITER Samantha Cahill PRIDE STAFF WRITER I Bificus is Biff Naked's latest solo effort. This album has quickly become a well-played addition to my collection with its mix of alternative, folk and punk. With hints of N o Doubt, Madonna and countless others, this album has a little of everything f or everyone. With B iff's ability to sound punk and somehow sweet at the same time, it is difficult not to fall in love with her seductive voice. The lyrics are well written, but not quite up to the standards of other female writers such as Ani DiFranco and Tori Amos. The newest film f rom German director Katja von Gamier starring Jutta H offmann (Marie), Nicolette Krebitz (Angel), Jasmine Tabatabai (Luna) and Katja Riemann (Emma), Bandits shook box o ffice records throughout Europe. The combination prison break, road movie, and action-adventure set to a soundtrack that is the highest selling soundtrack of any European film to date, is sure to draw crowds in America as well. A combination of A Hard Day's Night meets Thelma and Lousie, the f ilm's soundtrack is its driving force, and i s made up primarily of songs by Tabatabai and Krebitz, two of the films multitalented performers. The filmmakers had initially commissioned additional compositions f rom outside writers and musicians, but the commissioned works lacked the depth and feeling of the music of Tabatabai and Krebitz: "Beyond the first three songs, I had not intended on using other songs of theirs," confessed von Gamier. "But the outside music did not share the feeling of the project. They (Krebitz and Tabatabai) were so musically creative at that time, and being on the film nearly from the beginning, their soul f or the film came out in their music." The f ilm's story line of a female prison rock band that has escaped and is on the run is both engaging and lighthearted. Yet the f ilm's ability to evoke a range of responses f rom the audience, f rom laughter to apprehension, marks it as something more than the standard action movie. The f our characters and their flight f or freedom along the Autobahn, while being chased by both the police and throngs of newfound fans, quickly involves the viewer in their plight. The cinematography of the film is as artful as its soundtrack; it makes use of the b eautiful scenery along the Autobahn, and uses some nice angles and filters throughout. All in all, I found the film and the soundtrack both engaging and enjoyable. Though each song has a familiar sound, Biff Naked has created her very own style which pours f rom her soul. The bottom line is that if you like No Doubt, Madonna, and Blink 182, check out Biff Naked's / Bificus. P HOTO Cont. pg. 3 Series f or Fall 1999, the exhibit opened on Wednesday, October 6, at 3:00 pm with a warm reception in the library courtyard of CSUSM. The courtyard was abuzz with the arrival of the renowned artist. Fashionably late, Mr. Aleman arrived to greet eager students, faculty and staff with grace and an unassuming nature. Working closely with Cesar Chavez f or ten years, (1980-1990) Aleman was fortunate to capture many personal and unique photographs of the contemporary folk hero. Much of A leman's work embodies intimate settings of Cesar Chavez with family and friends. Other, more political settings portray Chavez as the activist of the people. Numerous celebrities are noticed throughout the collection of photographs. Martin Sheen, Lou Diamond Phillips, Edward James Olmos and Mile Farrell are j ust some of the luminaries shown in alliance and support of Chavez' cause, and contribution to the labor movement. Victor Aleman has been awarded many honors f or his work documenting the human condition. He is currently the editor of Vida Nueva, a Spanish weekly in Los Angeles. Other projects include two books in production, one of Cesar CMvez and the other a photo documentary of the conditions in El Salvador since 1970. Victor Aleman's exhibit will run through November 30 at the CSUSM library. Cynthia C.

Their hair may be gray or tastefully tinted. They have permanently etched laugh lines around their insightful eyes. While their spirits are young, their physical bodies are not, so they climb the stairs in a leisurely manner. They never miss class and are always on time. Most of them do not feel the need to dress in the latest fashions and so they dress comfortably and conservatively. Who are these people? They are the senior citizen students at CSUSM who range in age f rom sixty to eighty-one. The average age of a typical CSUSM student is twenty-eight years old out of a total enrollment of over five thousand. There are twenty-four women and fifteen men enrolled this f all semester. There are two eightyone year old freshmen and nine who are working on post-baccalaureate degrees. There are nine others who will receive bachelor's degrees in Visual and Performing Arts, History, LTWR, Sociology, and Women's Studies during the Fall, 1999/Spring, 2000 semesters.On May 27, 2000, they will "walk" across the stage and be handed a "sheepskin" in f ront of their proud, cheering f amilies and friends. It will be a day of celebration and triumph because they have persisted and achieved the goal of graduating f rom a four-year University. The culmination of life-long hopes and dreams will be f ulfilled f or them after years of working, raising children (sometimes as a single parent), attending PTA meetings, working as Scout leaders, chauffeuring children between sporting events, band practices, dance lessons and sewing miles of sequins on m arching costumes. Most of them did all these things while providing a home life at the same time. For all students, whether ' fresh out of high school' or re-entering college, there are the usual fears. "Will I be accepted by my peers? Will they laugh at m e or think I 'm dumb when I ask a lot of questions? Can I handle the workload that i s expected of me? Am I too young or too old? Will my disablement prevent me f rom keeping up with the rest of the class?" While these are universal worries, f or senior citizens they are more pronounced. A young woman interviewed in the Dome said, "When I see older students in my classes, it makes me think hard about why I 'm here. They deserve a lot of respect and I love the different perspectives they Contribute to class discussions. They motivate me to do my b est and I f eel bad when some of the younger students roll their eyes and get a pained expression if the seniors ask f or clarification on things they d on't understand.
