Spanish Poet
Margarita Merino
By Giovanni Ferrer
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
After centuries of suppression,
women writers in Spain are
beginning to emerge as the leading literary voices of Europe,
according to one such writer,
Spanish poet Margarita Merino.
Last Thursday, Dr. Merino gave a
lecture b efore an audience of
approximately 30 students, faculty, and staff, in University Hall.
Dr. Merino reflected on her
childhood and how little girls
were not permitted to have interests in literature then. She
described growing up during the
Franquismo period when Spain
was under the dictatorship of
Francisco Franco. She explained
that Spain was, and f or the most
part, still is, a Machismo dominated society where women are often
held back by men. She stated that
women could not do anything in
earlier generations, but times are
changing. Women have come a
long way in Spain.
Spain is a more liberal society
now, Dr. Merino claimed. Women
take advantage of their leisure
time; they are for the most part
domestic and have plenty of time
to pursue hobbies. Dr. Merino
mentioned that the highest numbers of college graduates in Spain
are women. Women are now contributing more books for publication.
Dr. Merino recalled a couple of
scary moments in her life. One

Academic Senate Stands Firm on
Scholarship and Students
Samantha M. Cahill
P RIDE EDITOR
CSUSM's Academic Senate
passed two new resolutions in
their November 10th meeting in
response to the September 30th,
1999 d raft revision of the
CSUSM values, mission and
vision statement, and toVice
President of Academic Affairs
Karas' July 6, 1999 memo
addressing faculty workload.
The resolutions affirmed the
importance of research and creative activity as an essential element of faculty work, and the
benefit of intensive faculty-student ioteraction as an avenue for
continued excellence for the university.
Background information provided on the resolution notes
that "[t]he September 30th, 1999
d raft revision of the CSUSM
values, mission, and vision does
not mention scholarship and creative activity", nor does it "mention high quality teachei>student
interaction," both of which have
been central to the university in
the past decade. The background information also states
that the Vice President of
Academic Affairs Karas' July 6,
1999 memo "appears to retract
his support for scholarship/creative activities on campus," and
"appears to retract his support
for high quality teacher-student
interaction on campus."
Resolution affirming intensive
faculty-student interaction as an
avenue for continued excellence
as a university.
Bud Morris, Academic Senator,
COAS
The faculty resolutions call
for a recognition of "the importance of scholarship/creative
activity" and "the importance of
intensive, high quality faculty
student interaction;" and "urges
the President and Vice President
of Academic Affairs to propose
a model of workload accounting
that properly registers the significance of these and related activities that comprise bona fide faculty work and upon which the
continued excellence of our university depends."
Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction is one way
CSUSM is able to personalize
its instruction f or individuals,
and
Whereas high-quality facultystudent interaction engages students in learning opportunities
and mentoring that enrich students' academic lives, and
Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction stimulates
students to develop professional
interests in their areas of study
and,
Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction serves the
goal of attracting and retaining
intellectually engaged students
and faculty,
Be it Resolved: That the
Academic Senate of California
State University San Marcos
calls upon the President and
Vice President f or Academic
Affairs to clearly and unequivocally acknowledge the centrality
of intensive, high quality faculty-student interaction to the university mission. Further, the
Senate urges the CSUSM
administration to propose a
comprehensive and valid means
of accounting for faculty workload that encompasses the f ull
range of critical contributions
faculty make to the institution,
including participation in such
activities as independent studies,
supervised instruction, thesis
supervision, internships, service
learning courses, advising, colSee SENATE Pg. 7
Sociology Club
AKD "Brown Bag"
Voicing Politics on College Campuses
Samantha M. Cahill

P RIDE EDITOR
P RIDE STAFF WRITER
Members
of
C SUSM's
Sociology Club and Alpha Kappa
Delta International Sociology
Honor Society co-sponsored a
"Brown Bag Luncheon" for sociology students and faculty on campus last Thursday afternoon. The
catered event drew approximately
thirty attendees including CSUSM
students and faculty, as well as
students and faculty f rom local
community colleges.
Sociology Club and AKD
member Barbara McCune, passed
out brown bags for note-taking to
diners as she explained that the
original organizing principle of
both AKD and the Sociology Club
was to provide a "brown b ag"
atmosphere where faculty and students could come together and
share their research and ideas. In
line with this principle the
CSUSM AKD and the Sociology
Club co-sponsored t he luncheon
and invited students and faculty
from local community colleges in
hopes of fostering academic t ies
with other Sociology students and
faculty i nthe area.
Sociology Club and AKD
member Donnamari Cruickshank
introduced various CSUSM faculty members who shared their current research interests with the
group. The event provided an
opportunity for undergraduate and
graduate students and faculty to
share their research interests.
Should students be forced
through mandatory student fees
to fund groups and viewpoints
they find morally objectionable?
The U.S. Supreme Court was
asked to consider this issue on
November 9th in a case where
both sides are invoking the First
Amendment to support their
point of view. Funding for campus clubs at public colleges and
universities across the country
may change next year if the
Court decides in favor of Scott
Southworth, a conservative
Christian student at the
University of Wisconsin at
Madison.
Jordan Lorence, a lawyer representing Southworth and other
students who objected to the
fees, referred to the students'
forced financial support of the
groups they ideologically disagreed with as "compelled
speech." He said that the students have "a First Amendment
right not to speak," on issues
with which they disagree.
However, attorney Susan K.
Ullman, representing the university, said the students benefit
from their First Amendment
right to hear from a "diversity of
voices." Ullman and others have
argued that campuses represented by a variety of viewpoints
make an invaluable contribution
to higher education: "It furthers
the university's
mission,"
Ullman said.
Student government leaders
at the University of Wisconsin
support the current system and
said that the lawsuit is an attack
against racial minorities and
homosexuals. ' This is part of a
larger strategy to shut down the
voices the Christian right disagrees with," said Adam Klaus,
chair of the Associated Students
of Madison (ASM) at the
University of Wisconsin. The
conservative students objected
to paying fees to support such
groups as the Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender
Campus Center. If the court
agrees with Southworth, student
associations may be prohibited
from dispersing funds derived
from student fees to groups that
engage in "political or ideological advocacy."
The case is being watched
closely by colleges and universities across the country. If the
justices decide in favor of the
conservative students, observers
predict that the outcome will
have an effect on most public
colleges and universities.
How the ruling might affect
funding of student groups at
CSUSM is unclear. "The ASI
would get a legal interpretation
before taking any action," said
Darlene Willis, Executive
Director of the ASI. "But I
would say it would definitely
have an impact."
Funds are currently dispersed
by the Inter-Club Council, or
ICC, a group made up of one
representative f rom each o fficially recognized campus club.
Willis pointed out that the ICC
funds activities, not organizations, a distinction she said is
critical
in
differentiating
CSUSM from the University of
Wisconsin, where the court case
originated.
So far in the 1999-2000
school year, the ICC has voted
to give funds to groups as
diverse as the Soccer Club, the
German Club, MEChA, and the
Computing Society. Willis
declined t o say whether she
thought that any of these groups
engaged in political or ideological advocacy. As to what constitutes political or ideological
advocacy, Willis said that would
be difficult to define. She said,
"If they [the Supreme Court]
make this decision, I hope they
spell that out."
ASI
President
Waleed
Delawari was more direct. "A
typical activity funded by the
ICC is movie and pizza night.
How that could be considered
political?"
�An Open Letter to Anyone Who
Smokes
June Hodges
Nov. 15, 1999 is the Great
American Smoke Out. I hope that
many of you will read the literature
being distributed on campus on that
day and decide to quit smoking. It
w on't j ust benefit your own future
health, but will also benefit all the
friends and family who love and care
about you.
I lost my favorite cousin to lung
cancer in the spring of 1996. Her
name was Wiloda, and we had grown
up like sisters back in the farm country of Southern Illinois. As kids, we
climbed the leafy branches of old
apple trees with a salt shaker in hand
and ate the forbidden (unripe) green
fruit, gathered freshly laid eggs from
the hen house, picked buckets of sunripened cherries while standing on top
of a high ladder, waded in creeks
where water moccasins (snakes)
sometimes lurked, cooked tomatoes
from the garden in a tin can over our
own campfire (and became deathly
ill), rode horses and donkeys bareback, and shared secrets, giggled, and
laughed at bedtime until we were told
to hush. I remember the sadness and
loss I felt on the day she got married
and moved away with her young Air
Force husband. My best friend was
gone and I knew things would never
again be the same between us.
After my marriage, I moved from
Nebraska to Kansas and eventually
settled in California. Wiloda and her
husband, Marion, always remained in
Illinois, close to their parents and
brothers and sisters. We kept in touch
through letters, phone calls, and sum-
mer visits and I attended their 50th
wedding anniversary. In the spring of
1994, Wiloda called to tell me that
she and her husband had been diagnosed with lung cancer that day. They
had smoked for a long time, but
Marion had quit several years before.
Wiloda had not. Her favorite part of
the day was to get up early, jump in
the car, and join two of her long-time
women friends at the village cafe for
coffee, gossip* and the first cigarette
of the day.
Marion died before the New Year
rolled around and Wiloda was undergoing extensive chemotherapy and
radiation treatments. In the next two
years, she would go in and out of
remission and continue the debilitating therapy, each time hoping that it
would be the last. We talked on the
phone, and we prayed together. We
rejoiced if the cancer was in remission, and cried if it w asn't. Just
before I saw her for the last time, she
told me that her chest was so burned
and scarred that she would never consent to undergo radiation again. She
was in remission when she came to
spend her 70th birthday with me.
When I picked her up from the airport, I could hardly believe this was
my 'Dode.' She was delivered to the
waiting room in a wheelchair. Her
hair was snow white, her voice came
out in gasps and whispers, and her
appearance showed the ravages of a
very destructive and unrelenting disease. I lowered my tear-filled eyes as
I handed her a bouquet of flowers and
kissed her. When I hugged her, I
could feel the bones protruding
through her lightweight summer
dress.

DEAR EDITORS:
Throughout my three years as a student here at CSUSM, I have noticed
many changes on our campus. These changes were sometimes thought to be
in the best interest of the students, nonetheless the students were never asked
for their opinions or suggestions. I often ask my self when I hear about new
decisions made on campus, "Isn't it for us the students that this University is
here, to educate and serve?"
DEAR FELLOW CSUSM STUDENTS:
I am writing in response to inquiries regarding the CSUSM College Republicans that I have
received in recent days. As I am sure you all have noticed, the College Republicans have been
mentioned in one form or another in The Pride paper numerous times m recent weeks. Such attention has raised some questions from the student body and as Chairman of the College Republicans
I feel that it is my responsibility to clear some of the misconceptions and inform the CSUSM community o f what the College Republicans are all about.
I want to begin by saying that I am not happy about the recent happenings that have been taking
place on campus between the College Republicans and The Pride as I believe that I have allowed
our organization to slip off track from our originally set goals and focus. Although I do pledge to
drop this issue after today, I think it i s important that the CSUSM community at least know why
the College Republicans were upset with The Pride paper. On October 7th 1999, the College
Republicans brought a California State Assembly candidate onto campus to spend an evening with
us discussing political issues and current events. The event was open to everyone and the College
Republicans encouraged all students, faculty, friends, and family to attend. To inform the CSUSM
community of this event, the College Republicans issued a press release flyer to The Pride paper
and also spoke with one of The Pride's reporters. The reporter returned a couple of days later and
informed me that her editor was not going to put anything in the paper about events for the College
Republicans and that if we wanted advertising for our events we would have to pay for it. The
College Republicans did not believe that an article informing the school of the upcoming event
was an advertisement. The event was news and the paper should report the campus news. As we
all know CSUSM is a California State school and I think the people of our school would have been
interested to know what the front-runner candidate f or the California State Assembly would have
to say about the future of education. If elected, the way our guest votes in the Assembly could
affect every student, faculty, and staff member on this campus. If that is not news, I am not sure
what is. This was a clear example of biased reporting or lack of reporting.
There are two misconceptions about the College Republicans that I quickly would like to
address. First, the College Republicans have been referred to as the Young Republicans on numerous occasions in The Pride. The College Republicans are the only Republican student organization
on campus. The Young Republicans are a fine grassroots organization consisting of members
between the ages of 18 and 40 but they do not have a charter on the CSUSM campus. Second, the
College Republicans and the Young Americans for Freedom are not the same clubs. These two
clubs are two totally different organizations and although the two organizations may share some
similar beliefs, the College Republicans do not condone all of the activities that YAF conducts.
As I mentioned earlier in this letter, I intend to return the College Republicans to our original
goals and focus of getting students more involved in the political process. Currently people
between the ages of 18 and 24 do not participate in the political process in any significant percentages. We hope to make a difference with that by offering our members opportunities to get
involved. This is what the College Republicans do. This is why we were founded and this is what
we will continue to do for years to come. We are here to help enhance the campus life at CSUSM.
You may have noticed that I often refer to our school as a community. I honestly consider our
little school to be its own little community and I love the fact that CSUSM is that way. Our school
is unique in that we all benefit from small class sizes and close relationships/friendships with our
professors. You just won't find those benefits at other schools. Everybody knows everybody here.
This is awesome and the friendships made while here at CSUSM will last us all a lifetime. I love
o ur school and plan to be an active part of CSUSM as a proud alumnus, long after I graduate. If
you have any questions o r concerns please feel free to contact me at mike sann@yahoo.com.
See you in the halls!
Thank you for your time,
Mike Sannella
Chairman
CSUSM College Republicans
EDITORS' RESPONSE
It deeply disturbs me to see that someone on campus such as Phyllis has
taken initiative to correct something she saw wrong on her own, and was
immediately shunned for what she did (which we all know was the right
thing to do) in the following Pride article with the retraction. It is because of
people like Phyllis and the many others Tom Weir, Jim Carr, etc...(whom the
University is LUCKY to have as employees) who take initiative and fix
things they see wrong on their own or go out of their way to help us students,
that I love going to this University. The thing I hate is that some members of
our Administration don't know how to react when they make bad moves and
try to make those who fix them look bad. These Administrators should be
able to recognize when they make a mistake and get over it as well as give
credit to those who DESERVE it. It is obvious by what the retraction article
said that the person who was in charge of correcting this problem at the time
was not doing his job, therefore someone else had to come in and correct the
problem.
Hopefully in the future the Administrators of this University will make
better decisions based on input from the students, learn to deal with their
mistakes, and move on.
News, by definition is something which is duly reported upon after it has occurred; and is not
pre-event publicity. The Pride does* not do free advance publicity f or any campus clubs or
organizations. The Pride will, if space permits include information about club or organizational events in the Calendar of Events. However, due to lack of time (and inclination) The Pride
cannot, and will not retype flyers, letters, or any other form of paper based communications.
All submissions to The Pride must be sent in electronic copy. This both explains the lack of
pre-event publication for Mason Weaver, and his position on the front page after his talk on
campus.
Contrary to your statement that there has been a problem between The Pride and the College
Republicans, The Pride has never considered itself as having a problem with the your organization (m fact we sought out contributions from your members). However The Pride does take
offense to the derogatory comments leveled by the YAF who denounced The Pride as a
'tabloid,'' and undermined the hard work of the contributing students (a number of whom are
Republicans). The Pride notes that you distinguish yourself as separate from the YAF, however,
the fact that you were, until recently, listed as the membership chairman of the YAF has also
been duly noted.
The Pride commends the College Republicans, a fully recognized on-campus organization,
in their return to their goal and focus of getting students more involved in the political process.

OPINION
I f r e ffiribe
DEAR EDITORS:
CSUSM boasts that it is the first university to open its doors with a Women's Studies
program. Imagine my surprise as a new
CSUSM student only to find out that our
program has not been given even one
tenured faculty position in the ten years of
its existence. Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the experiences and issues of women past and present,
from diverse race, class and cultural backgrounds. As a program it epitomizes the
commitment to diversity that the University
considers a cornerstone.
The most important benefits of a tenured
faculty member would be in providing a liaison between the University and the Women's
Studies majors and the necessary program
development required to insure that the program continues to address the issues facing
women in a dynamic global environment.
Currently sharing these duties are Co-Chairs,
Dr. Linda Shaw and Dr. Jill Watts, who have
the added responsibilities of being faculty in
other programs.
The University's failure t o provide a
tenured faculty member f or the Women's
Studies program reflects poorly on
CSUSM's credibility in its commitment to
this program. It is time for CSUSM Hiring
Priority Committee to dignify the Women's
Studies program by establishing a tenured
faculty position.

Veterans Day, a federal holiday, saw a high number of children on campus
because they had no school but their parents did. I realize this letter may make me
an unpopular person on campus, but I believe having minors in a college classroom compromises the learning environment for the entire class. A discussion
about children on campus must be initiated.
According to CSUSM Policy as listed on the web (http://ww2.csusm.edu/business_serv/206p__Depend_Children_on_Campus.htm), "As a growing campus,
CSU San Marcos' facilities are fully utilized, and as a result, it is necessary to
limit access to the campus by dependent children who are not currently enrolled
CSU San Marcos students." The policy then outlines conditions when students are
permitted on campus. One passage states that children shall be "under the direct
supervision of their parent or legal guardian who is attending class or work, and is
unable to obtain child care for the day. Prior approval by Instructor's or employee's supervisor, or both, is required.'' I empathize with the child-care dilemma of
parent-students, but I feel their situation,is no less fair than the situation instructors and fellow classmates are asked to endure when the children become uninvited visitors to the classroom. The "prior approval by Instructor" may often be
granted, if asked for at all, in a split-second decision that the instructor is asked to
make before taking the final step across the threshold and into t he classroom. The
instructor can be placed in the unenviable position of having to choose whether or
not to exclude the parent-student and child from class. If allowed in the classroom
the child-visitor may adversely affect that day's lecture, or stifle candid classroom
discussion, because of attempts to avoid exposing the child-visitor to adult or otherwise sensitive material.
I don't have the answer, but I do challenge readers of The Pride to discuss
child-care options openly. Perhaps CSUSM's own ASI ("by students f or students") could investigate the feasibility of opening up an hourly day-care service
(in addition to the already full ASI Early Learning Center), either on or off campus. Maybe ASI could use one of the vacant o ffice spaces of the Palomar
Pomerado Health Services building that sits adjacent to the campus. No one, a
parent, a child, instructor, or classmate, should have to "just deal with it."
The University Store is very concerned
about the conditions under which any product for resale on campus is manufactured or
assembled.
Therefore, we make every
effort to "Buy American" whenever possible. Unfortunately, buying exclusively
American is becoming increasingly difficult
to do, as ever-increasing numbers of manufacturers go offshore to remain competitive.
The University Store, therefore requires
every manufacturer to comply with a written
code of conduct requiring adherence to minimum employment standards regarding
wages, benefits, working hours, overtime,
child labor, forced labor, health and safety,
nondiscrimination, harassment and abuse,
and collective bargaining. Using these
guidelines allows us to work with a variety
of vendors t o insure that customers are
offered the necessary assortment of quality
products at competitive prices.
We realize that a code of conduct is not a
panacea for international labor problems, but
we also believe that a code of conduct can be
a positive factor toward the ultimate goal of
elimination of child labor, sweatshop conditions, and other labor problems. We at the
University Store are working diligently to do
our part in confronting this very significant
human rights issue.

Three Kings is definitely a
bizarre film but also one of the
y ear's b est This movie has
some really great action mixed
with some weird political
humor. The movie takes place at
the end of the Gulf War of 1991
Operation Desert Storm. "Are
we shooting?" the movie's first
words set the pace. The w ar's
truce confuses the soldiers that a
guy waving a white flag gets his
head shot off in the misunderstanding.
Later, three U.S. soldiers find
an Iraqi with a piece of paper
embedded in an orifice of the
bottom. An officer issues a rubber glove and tells a private to
pull it out. The map shows the
location of gold bullion looted
f rom Kuwait by Saddam
Hussein's troops and buried in a
secret bunker. The three soldiers are Sgt. Troy Barlow
(Mark Wahlberg), Chief Elgin
(Ice Cube) and Pvt. Conrad Vig
(Spike Jonze). Sgt. Maj. Archie
Gates (George Clooney), a
Special Forces veteran who
stumbles onto the three soldiers
decides on the spot to lead them
on an unauthorized mission to
steal the treasure. This embarks
the movie on a wild extraordinary ride through the desert in
search of the gold. Meanwhile,
Adriana Cruz, played by Nora
Dunn as a driven journalist who
just wants a story at any cost follows the men on their escapade.
She adds a lot of the parody
comedy that the film seems to
embellish.
Most movies show bodies
being hit by bullets and blood
splattering out of them, but this
one sends the camera inside to
show a bullet cavity filling up
with bile. It is a great piece of
work and is just one reason why
this movie is so incredible. Also,
cameraman Newton Thomas
Sigel uses a grainy, bleached
style that gives this movie its
identity and is like nothing most
viewers have seen on film.
A political undertone thrives
all through the film. It is pure
irony that while Iraqis kill Iraqis
the American gold thieves prosper from their anguish. Getting

Immunization
Adrienne Lopez
Lisa Morgan
Student Health Services
(SHS) is holding free MMR
(Measles, Mumps, and
Rubella) Shot Clinics for students born after January 1,
1957 and who need to satisfy
the CSU-wide immunization
requirement before the beginning of their second term.
Students who have not provided proof of prior immunization to SHS will have an
"I-hold" placed on their
record and will not be able to
register for Spring classes
until satisfying the CSU
requirement.
I am attending the University
of Wales at Swansea, which is a
campus that holds about 11,000.
The academic system here varies
a bit from what I 've been used to
at CSUSM. Here, they require 3
years of study and the fourth year
is considered graduate work. I
am taking four* classes that
extend throughout the year. This
system is exciting for me because
it allows me an opportunity to
study a few subjects in depth.
The classes do cover a lot of
material, but the material is more
focused. I get to learn more
about my field of study, instead
of a little about everything.
Although you can take classes
outside your major, in Wales
there is really no such thing as
general education. Also, the
whole atmosphere is a bit more
relaxed. There is a lot of competition to get into universities, so
the students seem to take their
positions and studying a bit more
seriously. D on't get me wrong,
people still want to have f un,
however they d on't take their
roles f or granted. Students are
expected to do a great deal of
independent study. For example,
f or one literature class I have a
suggested reading list of 10 to 20
books. I am not expected to read
them all, but they are available to
me when I go to write my papers.
In most departments two papers
are due—one at Christmas break
and one at the end of the year in
May. Most visiting students d on't
have to sit for exams in June, but
are graded by merit of their two
essays.
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:
The educational system here
surprised me, but not because it
is so difficult. What surprised me
was that I only spend six hours
per week in class. I have three
classes this semester, which is
the equivalent of 17 U.S. units.
Most of my time is spent on independent reading. Since I am here
studying British Literature, my
classes require me to read at least
one novel per week. The grading
procedures are tough getting
used to, too. There are no tests
and* no quizzes in these classes.
My grades will be based on a single essay ttfat is due on the last
day of each class. Sometimes a
group presentation or smaller
essay will make up 20% of the
grade, but that situation is very
rare.
Talking about breaks, we get a
month off f or Christmas and a
month off for Easter!!!! Can you
imagine. That is a nice chunk of
time. One drawback, though—
papers are due as soon as you
arrive back f rom the Christmas
holiday. There is great deal to do
and see, not only in Southern
Wales but in all of Europe.
Southern Wales boasts the largest
number of Castles in Britain, and
the most beautiful rugged coastlines. Wales also has two major
national parks featuring green
countryside and breathtaking
mountain top views. You can get
away for a weekend or longer if
you wish.
As a Southern California girl,
I must say I have been adjusting
fairly well to my new surroundings. I have even begun watching
Rugby, which is a big pastime
here in the pubs. Even if beer
drinking is not your f avorite,
hobby, there is an overwhelming
number of activities and clubs to
choose from. The Welsh people
are incredibly nice, as are many
of my fellow international students. There are visiting students
f rom all over the world: Africa,
Germany, Denmark, Holland,
Italy, France, Spain, Portugal,
India, and Japan.
TRAVEL:
Travelling around Europe is
something I had always dreamed
about but never had the opportunity to do. This program has
given me a chance to see not only
the major sights that everyone
knows, but the less well-known
places that are just as beautiful.
My first day trip was to York,
where I saw the moors and the
ancient city that includes the oldest cathedral in Europe. Last
weekend I took a 2-day trip to
Liverpool f or my birthday.
Although most of the tourists
were there f or all the Beatles
tours and museums, the city of
Liverpool i s an architect's
dream—it is a beautiful city. I
have a f ew more trips planned,
including visits to Edinburgh and
Amsterdam.
Many people have asked me
why I came here. They cannot
understand why I chose to study
literature when I am a liberal
studies major planning to be an
elementary school teacher. Well,
my answer is that since the educational systems are so different,
I decided to study in my special
field- Literature and Writing
Studies. I chose England, not
because I already knew the language, but because there is no
better place to learn about British
literature. Also, it was the least
expensive program available to
me.
SIMILARITIES
BETWEEN
ENGLAND AND AMERICA:
As soon as I stepped off the
train and met the girl f rom the
university who picked me up, I
noticed she was eating a Snickers

Measles, Mumps, and

are commonly known as
childhood diseases that can
be spread from person to person through the air. When
viewed as a group these diseases can cause anything
from a runny nose to meningitis to birth defects and, in
rare
instances,
death.
Literature from the U.S.
Department of Health &
Human Services suggests
children should get two doses
of the MMR vaccine after
they have reached one year of
age. The doses need to be
separated by at least 28 days
but are preferably given three
to five years apart.
The official Vaccine

states that people "who have
ever had a life-threatening
allergic reaction to gelatin,
the antibiotic neomycin, or a
previous dose of MMR vaccine" should not get MMR
vaccine. Students claiming
exemption for medical reasons must provide a letter
from a physician to SHS.
Student exemption from
immunization is also allowed
for religious or personal

The Great American Smokeout
Andrea Cavanaugh
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Are you one of those students
who can't wait for class to end so
you can smoke a cigarette? Have
you ever wished you could quit
smoking? Those smokers who
want to quit will find support on
Thursday, November 18, when
the Great American Smokeout
takes place nationwide. The Great
American Smokeout, sponsored
by the American Cancer Society
since 1977, is intended to help
people to quit by encouraging
them to stop smoking for just one
day. The Peer Education and
Support Program at CSUSM will
stage an event at Founder's Plaza
from 9:00am - 2:00pm which
will include giveaways, smoking
cessation ideas, and a video presentation.
Although a great deal of support will be available for the
Smokeout, CSUSM Health
Services o ffers help to people
who want to quit smoking at any
time. Health Educator Susan Pool
Carman offers suggestions to help
people give up tobacco. In addition to using nicotine substitutes
such as patches or gum to ease the
transition, Carman suggests getting plenty of exercise and drinking lots of fluids. Finding something to keep the hands busy can
help to break the habit, she said.
Finally, forming a support system
of non-smokers and temporarily
avoiding people who smoke can
help a person successfully quit
smoking, she said.
Smoking is actually on the rise
among teenagers and young
adults, according to the American
Cancer Society, even though the
evidence continues to mount that
Carman suggests that
choosing an optimum time to
quit can increase chances for
success. Trying to quit during
times of extreme stress can be
difficult, she said. Keep in
mind, however, that "there's
no perfect time to quit smoking." Choosing a time of transition, for example, when
acquiring a new car or a new
apartment, can actually help to
break the habit, she said.
"Sometimes a new environment can make a difference." '
Whether to quit gradually
or abruptly depends on the
smoker and the extent of the
habit, Carman said. Those with
heavy smoking habits may want
to consider the gradual approach.
For anyone planning to quit "cold
turkey," Carman suggests selecting a "quit date" in advance and
using the interim time to cut
down and plan strategies to deal
with the stress of giving up tobacco.
smoking is a deadly habit.
"People think they're immortal,"
said Lisa Kunschick, Chair of the
Great American Smokeout event
at CSUSM. Cigarettes kill more
Americans than AIDS, alcohol,
car accidents, murders, suicides,
drugs, and fires combined,
according
to
the
ACS.
Nevertheless, more than one mil-
lion children will start smoking
this year, and one-third of them
will die as a direct result of their
addiction.
Besides the health risk, another
incentive to quit smoking is the
cost of cigarettes, which are
becoming prohibitively expensive.
The
California
Department of Health Services
tries to encourage people to
quit by showing them what
they could buy if the money
spent on cigarettes were available for other things. Going
without cigarettes for one week
will buy a new CD, and going
without cigarettes f or one
month will buy two concert
tickets. A person who quits
smoking for one year could
purchase a trip for two to
Hawaii!
Many people begin smoking in
the military, Carman said, or as
the result of peer pressure from
friends. Whether a person starts
smoking in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, for whatever
reason, no one plans on becoming
addicted. Few people envision
themselves the victim of a pack-aday habit, either. Carman shakes
her head. "Somewhere between
one and twenty cigarettes it
becomes an addiction."
For those people struggling
with the desire to quit smoking,
and for anyone dealing with the
stress of upcoming finals and the
holiday
season, the Peer
Education and Support Program
is presenting a workshop on stress
management called " Don't Let
Your Holidays Be a Turkey." The
workshop takes place on Monday,
November 22 f rom Noon 1:00pm in UH 237. In addition to
offering techniques f or stress
management and relaxation,
refreshments will be served, and
there will be a drawing to win a
gift certificate for a f ree turkey
dinner or other groceries.
Students can enter the drawing
during the Great American
Smokeout event or at the workshop.
Another opportunity for relaxation and stress relief exists at
Student Health Services. The
"Alpha Chair" is a comfortable
egg-shaped chair in a private
room where the student can view
relaxing videos or listen to music.
The Alpha Chair is available by
appointment only - call 750-4910

Pain, fear and love filled my whole being for this
cousin who had endured, so much suffering in the past
year. During her short visit, she taught me a new version of Canasta and we laughed and reminisced about
all the good times we had shared. We looked at family
pictures and reconstructed the day and where the photo
was taken. We remembered the family reunions when
her parents and all of the numerous aunts and uncles
were still alive. I cooked my favorite recipes for her
but she would take a few bites and say she couldn't eat
anymore. She lived on cans of a high protein, whole
food drink. She rested several times a day. I gave her
my 'positive thinking bear' that would say "I love you"
and "You are a good person" when she pushed a button
in its back. I kept my bedroom door open at night so I
could s ee her across the hallway. One night I saw her
hold the bear up and I heard her say, "I love you, too."
Soon it was time for her to f ly to Phoenix to visit her
two sisters. She told me that she still had hope f or
recovery, but if the cancer returned, she would not go
through any more treatment. She told me, "Everything
is in order. I 'm ready, June."
The cancer did return and she passed away several
months later. There are times when I come across a
great recipe and think, " I'll send this to Dode." She
loved to cook and eat. She was a God-fearing woman
who loved life, but she also loved smoking. She paid
for that love with her life.
I miss you, Dode. If you' ve thought about giving up
cigarettes, please try it today. It won't be easy, but the
reward will be great.

The human brain has the ability to simultaneously process
thoughts, breathing, speech, color, motor skills, and
memories...all at an astounding one million messages per
second. Is such an incredible mechanism the result of random
chance plus time? Or is it possible that we've been thoughtfully and precisely created by a God? A God who's much more
than a vague, generic life force?
