A slate is a group of like-minded candidates who run together with similar positions and goals; they are not necessarily official. Anyone interested in recognizing who these slates represent need go no further than spotting the clustering of signs on campus. Thefirstdispute was over a mistake concerning the time signs could be posted to start the campaign. The Dean Manship slate posted signs on the quad and in front of Craven Hall before the Stacey Helton slate had a chance to do the same. The Helton slate claimed the Manship slate received special privileges, alleging that the slate was allowed to skip a mandatory meeting that was required of all participants in the election. In response to the dispute, ASI See SIGNS Pg. 2 Teacher Fair, Women's Track, ; Around Campus, Words to Live B y.; Academic Bulletin.... Candidate Statements.

Sandra Punch, Director of Career and Assessment Center, remarked, "it was our most successful fair, ever." 6 Plaza, where they were greeted by live jazz. Under the shade of several umbrella-covered tables, employers packed the plaza accordion style to provide enough room for each company represented.

Large companies, like Target, were present at the Fair, but so were smaller companies, like Modern Postcard. The postcard company, located on Faraday in Carlsbad, had several positions available, including one for a graphics designer, to accommodate the quickly growing company, according to the representatives. Like many of the businesses, Moder^Postcard provided a "favor" to attract visitors to its table. Instead of candy, the business gave away colorful postcards. For those of us who are used to thfe quiet of the Plaza on a regular day,filledonly with students' conversations as they head to class or stop for a latte at the coffee cart, the carnival atmosphere of the crowded Job Fair came as quite a shock.

On April 25 and 26 students will have the option to vote yes or no on increasing the semester fee for Health Servicesfrom$20 to $35. Health Services hasn't increased the semester fee since the fee was established in 1994. The average yearly fee for student health services in the CSU system is $108. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Director ofHealth Services, believes that students did not attend the forum because they are not aware that these Health Services exist So instead'of conducting an open forum, Nicholson passed out free bottles of water and pens to any student who walked by. Reactions to the fee increase vary across campus. A student, who prefers not to be named, stated, "No way. It's just another fee. I never use Health Services." Elena Medina, another student, stated that she would support it as long as the increase was gradual and services would be provided with the increase. She stated, "Students are here awayfromhome. They need these services. If the students live at home, these services are much cheaper."

"They shouldn't just take the first job open to them," said Punch. In addition to the fair, the Career and Assessment Center offered free workshops throughout the day, including one aimed to help prospective employees "dress for success," and another to help students draft an effective resume. All of the workshops were well attended, some to the point of overflowing. Perhaps the only folks unhappy with the success of Job Fair 2000 were campus regulars Jed Smock and his family. At the height of the event, and unable to compete with the noise from the job fair, the confrontational reverend was observed sitting at his usual post, quietly sipping water. agreed that action must be taken immediately. Some ICC members are fed up with their peers. Several clubs on campus will be unable to obtain their needed funding for events they have been planning, because the council has been unable to vote on anything for over a month. Other groups, like the Odyssey Club, are waiting for the council to reach quorum so they can be officially recognized as a club. They have been waiting for weeks and were visibly agitated at the realization that they would again be denied club status. Rita Reynolds and Reanna Wertz, who are both running for Executive vice-president of ASI, felt that clubs do not take ICC seriously enough. Wertz, president and co-founder of the Future Educators Club, sighted rapid growth in ICC as part of the problem. "The jump from 9 to 52 clubs has taken a dramatic toll on ICC. The policies are going to have to change." "I am disappointed with the presidents of the clubs who do not attend," said Penny Lanese, Anime Project Alliance. "If you don't care about your club,, you shouldn't have chartered it." Lanese went on to acknowledge ' those in regular attendance, "The ones who do go display praiseworthy dedication." Reynolds and Wertz both * felt that some clubs see ICC as simply a place to go when they need money. Reynolds, president and co-founder of the Victorious Club, insisted that ICC is "not just for funding. It is a place for clubs to exchange ideas, to support each other." �)e iPribe 2 (Tuesday, April 18, 2000 SIGNS Cont. FromPg. 1 Teacher Fair a Success Cynthia C.

Ifinishedcopying the rules Monday evening and gave it to them. They put up their signs Monday evening. I realized I make a mistake. I apologized to the other slate on Tuesday." According to ASI Presidential candidate Stacey Helton, all prospective candidates had to attend a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, April 4, at 1:30pm that covered election rules or else they would not be allowed to run in the election. According to sources familiar with the meeting, all of the candidates on the Stacey's slate attended the meeting while an only a few of Dean Manship's slate showed up to the meeting. Although candidates were prohibitedfromposting campaign signs until they attended the meeting, Dean Manship's slate posters were posted in the morning before the actual meeting took place. In an e-mail, Bobby Radovich states that, "In fairness to all candidates, we the elections committee must enforce the rules at all times. Ignorance of the rules will not be an excuse so this meeting is crucial." Asked why he did not ask them to take the signs down he said, "That it would be a waste of time. I asked for forgiveness. I just want to keep the election positive." the team has quickly made a name for itself. With 20 women,fromas close as San Diego and as far away as Sweden, on the roster, the Lady Cougars track team is well into an impressive inaugural season. With over half the meets competed, the women have qualifiedfiveindividuals and one relay team, with more individuals nearing the standard of their respective event every week. In the program'sfirstyear, San Marcos competes in the NAIA Division. They have proven their ability to hold their own against bigger schools such as Cal State Long Beach, UC Irvine and UCSB. The Lady Cougars have two of the top 400 runners in By Denaye Lakotich for The Pride the NAIA in freshmen Amy Taylor and Luci Downey, both National qualifiers.

Since then, however, is ranked in the top 5, and only getting better. The talent W omen's Track at C SUSM Dean Manship for his part denies that any special treatment was given to him saying that, "We have done everything right We haven't got anything against the other slate." When asked if the large number of complaints against them were due to other factors he added, "They think we are a bunch of incumbents. It has nothing to do with ICC or club matters. We have good ideas. I want to have a positive campaign." Another dispute between the groups involves the enforcement of sign rules. "You are allowed four mistakes. If you go over the amount you are not allowed to run," said Penny Lanese, a candidate on Stacey Helton's slate. She also stated that rules are not being enforced to the fullest extent. She claimed that Dean Manship's slate had violated the rules twice while she claimed her slate had not. Dean said that these charges were unfounded and said, "I don't want to say anything negative." The person in charge of sign postings and citing violations is Gezai Beihane, Student Involvement Coordinator for the Center for Student Involvement. He contradicts the charges made by Helton's slate by saying, "I have heard complaints but no rules have been violated." He explained that there are strict rules for posting signs, but during election season the rules are relaxed. Despite this and other inside disputes both Dean Manship and Stacey Helton said that they wanted a positive campaign focusing on issues. does not stop at these women either. Renee MacDonald is a top challenger for the Half Marathon, Jackie Campos recently qualified in the 3000 meter walk by nearly two minutes and Mirna Hernandez is ranked in the topfivein the discus. Heather Garritson is currently under the provisional mark for the 3000-meter run-which almost guarantees her a seat on the plane to Nationals-and is expected to hit the standard qualifying time in the near future. In a meet at UCSD on April 8, the womenfinishedfifthout of eleven teams-an outstanding feat considering they were missing Downey in the 200 and 400, Laura Wilson in the 400 hurdles, and sprinter Jessica Walker in the 100 and 200 due to injuries and sickness. Thisfinishonly proves the strength of the team. It is a sign that they can look forward to an exciting second half of the season.

As a recent addition to the student body at CSUSM, I feel that I can present a fresh view to ASI. I believe that my diverse working experience, including management and customer service, has prepared me for the rigorous demands of ASI President. I am currently the President of the German Club, as well as Treasurer for both the History Club and the Victorious Club, and Secretary for the American Indian Student Alliance (formerly AISES). As ASI President, one of my goals will be to make sure that information is readily accessible to all students. This will help students to know what is going on and to voice their opinions before action is taken, not after the fact. I will also work to improve the Dome, with a wider variety of foods and extended hours. In addition, I am in daily communication with Rita, candidate for Exec VP. I will also hold weekly meetings with each of the executive officers to continue the vision of ASI Team 2000. To ensure that ASI is serving each and every one of the students at CSUSM! You, the students, will always be uppermost in our minds. http://change.to/asiteam2000 My name is Dean Manship and I am running for the office of President of Associated Students Incorporated. I have been involved in ASI for two years and am currently the Inter-Club-Council Chairman. I have been dedicated to promoting student life on this campus, which will continue to be my top priority for both day and evening students. As your President, I will be committed to building lasting partnerships between the local business community and the campus community to enhance ASI's services to you, the students. I am committed to representing the concerns of students, and promise to keep your best interests in mind in every decision ASI makes. Associated Students is a tool for all students to have their voices heard at all levels of the university and make our careers as students more enjoyable and productive. I WILL BE YOUR VOICE!!! My passion as a student advocate will only enhance ASI and the student life at California State University San Marcos. My name is.Raeanna Wertz and I am running for the position of Executive Vice President of ASI. I came to this university in the Fall 1999 with experience in student government. I was the Interim Student Body President at Mira Costa College during 1998 and was elected as the Executive Vice President. I was also the president of the Future Educators Club and a peer educator in the HIV/ AIDS Peer Educator Program. Currently, I am the president of the Future Educators Club at CSUSM, and the ASI representative for the College of Education. I belong to the Student California Teachers Association, the International Reading Association, the League of Women Voters and I Volunteer at a local grade school. As your Executive Vice President, I will build communication between the students and ASI through committee participation. I will work closely with the ASI President to enhance communication with the campus community. I will use technology to reach as many students as possible with information about what your student government is doing and what issues we are addressing. I bring the experience of a re-entry student, and I bring enthusiasm as I am new to this campus and look forward to a great senior year. Rita Reynolds Major - History Executive Vice President I have been a student at CSUSM since Fall 1998, and I have a passion for this campus and seeing all of the students here meet or exceed their goals, as well as having a memorable experience at CSUSM. I believe my experience working as a manager for many years has been excellent preparation for the position of Executive Vice President. Additionally, I am the cofounder and seated president of CSUSM's Victorious Club, Treasurer for American Indian Student Alliance* and a member of the History Club. While at Palomar Community College, I was the first president of the Undefeated Club to serve for three consecutive terms. During my tenure as president, t he Undefeated Club was considered the most successful club on campus. If elected Executive Vice President, one of my goals is to bring a greater sense of community to our great $chool, so that when other CSU's look at us, they know who we are, we are CSUSM. We will not be considered just a commuter school or a group of students that use the same buildings on the same ground for our education. We will be CSUSM, in a united voice and mind. http://change.to/asiteam2000 My name is Penny Lanese, and I know I will be an excellent Vice President of External Affairs because I have pride in this University, love to travel, and I love to learn from other people. As Vice President of External a ffairs I hope to help rid the University of the "Commuter Campus" label. Many people attending this University choose to attend, and have the right to feel proud of their education. Conferences and social gatherings do help the overall system, and it is a valuable tool to travel to other campuses to learn how to fine-tune our own University. Because the job of the Vice President of External Affairs is to travel to other California State University campuses, I aspire to talk and learn how the other campuses dealt with similar problems that we currently have, namely: parking issues, fee increases, and lack of courses and majors. My nalne is Robin Milch and I am running for the office of External Vice President of Associated Students Incorporated. I transferred to this university from Mira Costa College in the fall of 1999. At Mira Costa, I was the Administrative Vice President as well as the Vice President of Programming. Through each of these positions I was able to acquire leadership skills along with a vast knowledge of how student organizations operate. On this campus I am currently the representative of College of Arts and Sciences. Through this position I have been dedicated to promoting student involvement on this campus, as well as representing the concerns of students. If I am elected External Vice President, I will be committed to building communication between ASI and students. I want to be your voice and to represent you and your needs on and off the campus with respect to the external community, locally and nationwide. Not only will I be able to bring experience to this position, but also I will be bringing my enthusiasm and dedication to student government. Together we can make a difference. My name is NeWsha Digius and I am running for the position of Vice President of External Affairs. I am a Communications major and I am planning to go to law school. I feel I would be an asset to the ASI for several reasons: my exp rience with ASI, my leadership nability, and my enthusiasm for student government. My experience with ASI began last year as the College of Business Representative. My second semester in ASI, I was^ elected interim Vice President of External Affairs The knowledge and experience I have gained as the VP of External Affairs makes me the best candidate for this position. I am knowledgeable about current legislation that directly affects CSUSM students. I am also familiar with the California State Student Association (CSSA), the CSU Board of Trustees, and the CSU system. I am an active member of Alpha Chi Omega, holding several positions including social chair, sophomore standards board representative, and the vice president of intellectual development. I am the president of the Peer Education and Support Club. Getting involved with ASI has enriched my enthusiasm for student government. I will endeavor to represent my constituents as the Vice President of External Affairs. Value-driven leadership is something that is difficult to instill, and I, Scott Crossman, would like to continue the changes that are being offered by the Associated Student Incorporated. I have been attending San Marcos for over three years now. My major is business administration - service sector management. I feel the position of Vice President of Finance is one that offers "real world" experience that will lead to nothing less than an enhancement of this campus. I feel that successful changes do not take place overnight and the position for which I am applying for will be challenging. My leadership roles began in high school with various student body positions as well as core roles in sports. Continuing on in work, my determination, enthusiasm, and perseverance led to promotions and eventually to departmental leadership roles. The curriculum in my major, Business Management, is based on sustaining a successful service sector business. The service is attending to the student body here at California State University San Marcos. The dedication and knowledge of this position, I feel, is in my horizon of success and education. The assets that come from this university are the same core values that I will take with me into office. My name is Samantha Beltram, and I am running for Vice President of Finance. I will be an asset to the Associated Students because I have experience as a leader on this campus. I bring experience as the chair of two clubs- AISES and Student-Parent Alliance (which is a club that myself and another single mother founded to promote campus awareness of the existence and needs of this portion of our student population.) I am experienced in how student government works as I have sat on the ICC representing AISES and served on the ASI's bylaws committee. Additionally, as I am raising a family while obtaining my education I have acquired life experience managing money via projecting and maintaining my family's annual budget, keeping accurate records, and maintaining a positive account status. On a final note, I am a highly motivated individual who is very customer service oriented, money management minded, team oriented and dedicated to addressing diverse needs and issues of a diverse student population. My name is Jocelyn Brown and I am running for the office of Corporate Secretary. I am a Biology major, and next year will be my third year at California State University San Marcos. Because of the experience, ideas, enthusiasm and goals that I have, I feel I would be a great asset to you, the students, as your ASI Corporate Secretary. I joined ASI late Fall of last year and currently serve as the Undergraduate Representative. I have been active in promoting forums for students to voice concerns, and I also serve on the Bylaws committee. I am familiar with minute taking and the duties and responsibilities of the Corporate Secretary. As your elected representative, I will strive to do my best to represent the student voice of CSUSM. I love being involved in student government and working towards student involvement and the enrichment of campus life. My name is Ron Hawkins and I am running for C orporate Secretary because I believe I can bring Honesty, Integrity, Knowledge and Experience to a position that i s in extreme need of all those things. I have numerous years as an administrator; I 'm mature enough not to play childish games with your money; I am a dedicated and determined individual by nature that will pursue excellence in all areas affecting student life. I will ensure that all information affecting students is available and is published in an efficient and timely manner. I will ensure that Agendas for all regular meetings will be published ahead of time. I will foster an attitude of service and openness that has heretofore been noticeably lacking. I will ensure that my vote will always be for what is best for the students, not for the ASI officers. I will ensure professionalism in all publications that are the responsibility of ASI, thereby ensuring all outside agencies perceive CSUSM as an outstanding university. Please Vote for Ron Hawkins for Corporate Secretary, and the slate of ASI Team 2000. My name is Tammy Conley and I am a liberal studies major applying for the position of ASI Childcare Rep. As a mother of a student as CSUSM, I hope to bring awareness to my fellow colleagues and surrounding community about the importance of student-parent support needed for those students who desire quality childcare. Along with raising awareness, I hope to work closely with the ASI Childcare Center to provide as many parenting resources for both the parents and the staff who �(Tuesday, April 18,2000 5 ®fje $ r t b e are associated with the program. Because my daughter attends the Early Learning Center, I have a special interest in making sure that my child and every child that attends the ELC is involved in a f un, safe, educational, enriching, and nurturing environment. I am currently the Vice President of the Parent and teachers Club and have participated in the ICC meetings and feel that the experience has and will help me achieve greatness in this position. My name is Roderick Frazier. I am a Communications and Literature and Writing Major, and I am your candidate for ASI Undergraduate Representative. I realize the changes that are so desperately needed at our school. There is a need for better student life on campus. If elected as Undergraduate Representative I plan to dedicate most of my time to bringing more student activities on campus. Ralph Ellison said, "It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow." As Undergraduate Representative I will commit to student life, and reach out to the incoming students. I plan to invest the time that it takes in order to make this campus grow. I am currently the president of the yearbook club, a member of the ICC Board, a member of the programming committee, a member of the president's council as well as working at the University Store. I am involved on campus on a daily basis. I will be an asset to ASI because of my deep passion for improving CSUSM for the students. I feel the it is my duty to improve the lives of every individual on campus, and to tirelessly improve the reputation of this school. My name is Wendy Meeks and I am currently a junior, majoring in Communication at CSUSM. I am applying for ASI Representative of Arts and Sciences. As an ASI Representative I would work toward increasing and enhancing , communication between the department and the students. I believe that it is crucial to encourage students to get involved in campus issues. As a student who is focused and committed to performing at the highest level, I understand the struggles and concerns facing students. Over the past four years I have volunteered for CSUSM's Annual "Celebration of Service," and over the past three years have acted as a group facilitator during the selection process. As a Study Abroad student in France, I learned how to adapt to new environments and still accomplish my goals. Finally, last semester I interned for Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, in Washington D.C., where I faced new and exciting challenges. While there, I had the opportunity to learn about the legislative process through my research of bills, attending committee meetings and responding to the concerns of constituents and contributing to the newsletter. It is my goal to bring my experience and commitment to strengthen communication, thereby- improving student and faculty relations. My name is Michael J. Miller and I am a Visual and Performing Arts Major. I'm running for the ASI representative for Arts and Sciences position on the ASI Board of Directors. Currently, I'm Vice Chair and co-founder of the Pride Alliance and I'm also the founder and president of Student Artists Association. Using my knowledge of student government, on and off campus connections and the skills that I have learned through various positions, I will commit myself to improving relations between faculty, staff, and students of the College of Arts and Sciences. I will use this position to bring the concerns of the students to ASI and to support the College of Arts and Sciences in every way that I possibly can. If given this opportunity, I will do my best to bring prestige and respect to our campus and to our student government. My name is Edward "Tad" Goddard and I want to be your College of Business Representative. I am currently active within the ASI Board Meetings and have more insight than most into how things are done. I've served on the Student Affairs Committee this semester. I've been a student here for four semesters now and have seen how our campus is changing. Some of these changes concern me. Are they taking our best interest into consideration? I want to make sure that they do. I don't want to see any needed programs bogged down in political filibustering or bad ones passed along without some thought. We need someone who will look out for student opportunities and make sure we can take advantage of them. I can make sure this is done. Jennifer Carroll I am a twenty four year old transfer student from Mesa College. I am a business major, with an emphasis on high technology management. I am a junior and am currently in my second semester attending CSU San Marcos. I am a member of Sigma Iota Epsilon, an honor society for business students. I desire to take an active role working with the administration for the benefit of students. I see ASI as a good vehicle for me to hone my leadership shills. As a College of Business Representative, I will conduct more open forums, establish direct communication between the College of Business Dean and its students, focusing on their needs and concerns. I will also offer more literature and information about the College of Business to students enabling them to "get the most" out of their experience here at CSU San Marcos. I am a hard worker, dedicated to achieving excellence.

This is written in response to that piece, and to provide CSUSM students with additional information. The development of Greek life at CSUSM has been ongoing since 1992. At that time students indicated an interest in beginning to develop Greek opportunities to enhance the student experience. Through 1994/95 a selection process was undertaken, underscoring to interested national affiliates that the campus wanted to slowly begin developing a Greek community that would model and embrace a strong commitment to the cultural, ethnic, age, and lifestyle diversity of our student body. Invitations to submit letter of interest were sent to all NPC, IFC, and NPHC nationally recognized social sororities and fraternal organizations, nineteen responded positively. Eight national organizations were interviewed and 4 were selected; 2 fraternities and 2 sororities. At a recent student meeting held on March 23rd with the Vice President for Student Affairs, a concern was raised regarding "promises" made to earlier organizations that would preclude any addition of ethnic based chapters. This meeting prompted additional research and review of archival materials. A decision has been made by the Vice President for Student Affairs to review the level of current interest and to more assertively promote the process to grow our Greek community. A meeting with appropriate campus personnel to oversee this process has already been scheduled. What developed were very strong service-based organizations, participating in a variety of campus and community projects. As our campus has changed in the number of students, differing needs for campus life and in a more diverse need base for develThe opinion piece very oping a sense of community, so strongly asserts that the adminishave the expectations for Greek tration is "blocking" the expanlife. sion of the Greek system.

In fact, over the past 2-3 years several meetings were held with interested students and the Center for Student Involvement staff (now known as Student & Residential Life) to assist them in understanding the process to bring new organizations to campus. Additionally, no proposal/plan for expansion has been presented to President Gonzalez for his consideration. In the absence of a proposal he has not communicated any disinterest or lack of support for expansion. Quite the contrary, he has sent a clear message to Student Affairs that the campus life/ student life opportunities for CSUSM students must be increased. l ots, nor room to put t hem. v ices.

All proceeds from Spring Fest 2000 will support ehildcare services on campus. Novelty games, such as trampoline jumping, sumo wrestling, and a blow-up obstacle course, provided f un for both children and adults. One favorite was "Cameron the Caterpillar," a huge plastic chute for kids to crawl through. Other activities for children included a human bowling game and a 26foot inflatable slide. The youngsters were given balloons and could have their faces painted. Two local bands named Klownfish and Handful provided live entertainment for the event. Campus clubs held refreshment booths to try help raise money for their perspectiye clubs. Circle K International sold lemonade and snow cones. Mr. Taco sold Mexican food for approximately $3-5 per plate. The San Marcos fire department had a fire truck on display and CSUSM campus police showed off their vehicles as well. The Mapapa Acrobats capped off the day with an exciting performance of leaps, flips, and tumbles. Originally from Kenya, the group began performing in Europe, and currently travel the U.S. performing their acrobatics. The event ended with a hat contest where contestants won gift certificates to local businesses and free passes to Knott's Berry Farm. TRACK Cont. From Pg. 2 Every day from 3:00pm - 5:30pm, you can find women sweating it out as they do workouts designed by head coach Steve Scott and assistant coach Wes Williams-all in anticipation of stepping off the plane in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada to participate at the NAIA Nationals May 2 4-May 27. So as you stress out aboutfinals,think of these women and the prestige they are bringing to Cal State San Marcos. The women who round off the team are: Leslie Akers (800), Nicole Feehan (sprints, pole vault), Tara Hardee (throws), Denaye' Lakotich (hurdles, pole vault), Lorena Reyes (distance), Amanda Poniktera (throws) and Camille Wilborn (distance). Keep up with the women and men track teams on their web page, http://www.csusm.edu/track, where results and pictures are posted weekly. 1 ?

Earth Day is about people taking action in thenown communities for a cleaner, healthier environment. Earlier Earth Days lead to a push on such causes as recycling, but this year organizers hope their energy agenda will lead consumers, government agencies, and businesses to expand conservation efforts and the use of cleaner forms of energy, such as solar and wind power. The agenda also includes tougher pollution standards for cars, appliances, and lactones. III? Here are two local events to check out:. Powav 2000 Earth Arbor Dav, April 22-23.
