XXI N O . 1 Focus: The Chronicles of The Pride CSUSM's Independent Student Newspaper welcomes the new year with changes of its own * While transitioning into a new year, it is difficult not to reflect on the years leading up to present day. In 2009, the nation is embracing this notion of change. Keeping with that spirit, The Pride has chronicled the changes and evolution of California State University San Marcos. A campus that, though fairly young compared to the other CSU campuses, has faced its fair share of hurdles over the years I such as the controversy of SS ; SI the man Craven Hall was " named after (California State Legislature member William A. Craven), the threat of a faculty strike, and the ever increasing tuition r fee hikes. The Pride has been a fixture on the CSUSM campus for over fifteen years. Since most students are only at the campus for a few years, it is .hard to notice the evolution of The Pride or appreciate the improvements it makes each sequential semester. Each semester consequentially brings a new staff with its own set of preferences, ideas, and opinions and as such, each semester's worth of issues reflect the student body like CSUSM's very own time capsule in printed format. Since its inception in 1993, The Pride has evolved from black and white to color and grown with early editorial boards consisting of as few as two students. The history of II The Pride accounts for the longstanding struggle students have experienced to continue providing the campus Diego wild fires that resulted in the weeklong closure of the campus and ravaged much of San Diego County. Over the years, the look of The Pride has changed.

In the weeks ahead, The Pride will make a call to the campus community seeking submissions. To help the campus reach out to the entire community, the Business Manager has implemented a new Pride Bulletins advertising option to campus organizations and departments. Thi£ unique offer allows these organizations the opportunity to communicate with the campus each week through The Pride newspaper. Be sure to look in The Pride for bulletins include calendar. events for various campus organizations and other important information.

My opinions cannot be contained to just that field. I wilt continue to write about movies, music, and television, as well as school, society, and popular culture. Though l ife has blessed me with all that I have, one thing that eludes me is a car. For a while, this bothered me, but I have grown used to it. I stay f it by riding a bike all over San Marcos, and I can borrow a f riend's car if I really need to get somewhere. I still would like a car, but in this economic climate, I f igure it is b etter to save rather than spend on a car, gas, insurance, and the glorious parking pass. Previously, I was limited to where I could travel. Then the N orth County Transit Department opened the Sprinter. I cannot speak highly enough of this piece of public t ransportation. The Sprinter is a great addition to San Marcos and the rest of N orth County San Diego. It provides j obs and is ecologically sound mode t ransportation. I appreciate that I can now get to Oceanside, Vista, and Escondido for less than $5 The Sprinter does not get the recognition it deserves. It is a b eautiful machine and a great f orm of t ransportation. Though it took a while to open, I enjoy all that it makes possible and t hank the N orth Country Transit D epartment f or this brilliant addition to the area. and a pleasant ride along the smooth t rain. Now I can easily get to Target or the Coaster and head to San Diego and see my family. A fter I move out of University Village A partments this summer, I plan to live somewhere I can hop on the Sprinter to get to school. Photo by Bill Rhein Welcome from the E.I.C. Welcome back to school everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jackie Carbajal and I will be serving as Editor-in-Chief to The Pride for this semester. I have been involved with The Pride since my first semester here in the fall of 2007 as a s taff writer before working as the news editor for the past two semesters. Before that, my experience in j ournalism was limited to an awareness that there were in fact newspapers out there and possibly the option to major in the field. The first time I stepped foot on campus was the day of my orientation and as a transfer student, my immersion into CSUSM came with reservation. Prior to my enrollment at CSUSM, I attended community colleges for three years. During those three years, all I went to campus for were classes and the few times I had to fill out forms for financial aid or parking permits. At my orientation at CSUSM7 getting involved was not j ust encouraged, it was stressed and that is where I first found out about the independent student newspaper, The Pride. I walked into The Pride office (Craven 3500) for the first time knowing absolutely nothing about writing for a newspaper but I went for it, even though I wanted to walk away during those first few weeks and pretend it never happened. A fter the initial fear and insecurities wash away, you start to feel something when you see your name in publicized work... pride. During my time as a student at CSUSM, I have seen The Pride fluctuate and evolve. The need for writers is ever-present. Never have I felt that we had too many good writers and had to t urn away worthy candidates. The same goes for editors. This semester, I have nothing but high hopes for our editorial board, which consists of four Literature and Writing Studies majors, two Business majors, and a Communications major. Our Faces and Places editor Amy Salisbury and her assistant, Sandra Chalmers are both extremely creative and eager to find new ways to reach the campus community through The Pride. Tiffanie Hoang, a Pride veteran, and her assistant, Bill Rhein bring refreshing ideas, humor and a heightened awareness of film and the arts to our A rts and Entertainment section. Their plans are to showcase more student work. Our Business Manager, Kristina Lawler, is r eturning for her second semester in the position. Without airing out our financial d irty laundry, it is safe to say that Kristina's hard work last semester and on going have saved this paper in many ways. Rudy Martinez stepped up as layout editor midway last semester a fter working as assistant layout editor prior to that. His dedication to the layout of The Pride was unwavering with him staying in the office until 2 a.m. on some Monday nights to make sure the paper met his high expectations. Though it may be easy to criticize the paper, I would like to remind the c ommunity that a large amount of work falls on the hands of a limited s taff, most of which had no experience with journalism or editing prior to The Pride. Some editors spend all their f ree time during the weekend producing the paper each week while j uggling a course load of twelve to fifteen units or more. This paper has become more to me than an opportunity to receive credits and build my portfolio. Regardless of the constant stress to meet deadlines and produce articles, having an editorial board that includes my closest f riends has made my experience with The Pride the best of my college career. In the spring, The Pride staff attended the Associated Collegiate Press convention in San Francisco and last summer, I had the opportunity to witness then Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain address the National Council of La Raza in San Diego. The doors that working for The Pride open are endless. A program for American families and In closing, and most importantly, we at The Pride are dedicated to the education and representation of California State University San Marcos. The changes we made and continue to make with The Pride are to b etter embody the spirit of our campus and encourage contribution f rom the entire community. CSUSM taught me the i mportance of involvement on campus and I would like to reiterate that in regards to The Pride. This is what represents you all. If you like it, help us by contributing as a writer, submitting creative work, or suggesting story ideas. If you do not like it, we especially want to hear f rom you to let us know ways we can make you more proud of our weekly publication. A fter all, we do this for you.

Dr. King will long be remembered for his empowering motivational speeches such as his most famous "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered on August 28, 1963. President Ronald Reagan signed the bill that marked Martin Luther King, Jr. Day-as a federal holiday on November 2, 1983. The holiday, which is observed on the third Monday in January each year, was officially observed by all fifty U.S. states on January 17,2000.

This nation wide contamination has led Kebbler, Little Debbie and other major peanut butter distributors to recall possibly contaminated products and stop further shipments until the source of contamination is found. According to the FDA's website, salmonella is an intestinal bacteria that flourishes in raw meats, raw eggs or animal feces to cause foodborne illness. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and fever. FDA continues to warn to avoid eating products that contain peanut butter. Image courtesy of The Associated Press A D V E R T I Z I N G IS EASY AS 1-2-3 1 . C H O O S E A D S IZE. 2 .

Don't ask me what I'm going to do after I graduate this spring—itfreaksme out! I enjoy the zoo, Disneyland, and long walks on Dog Beach in La Jolla with my puppy, Delilah.

Gellar plays a troubled woman who has members of her family in comas a fter a car accident. Mystery unfolds a fter one man wakes up claiming to be another. The premise and pitch of this movie lead me to seriously doubt the caliber of this movie. The entire story seems predictable a fter examining the trailer. This will reduce the tension and make "Possession" neither exciting nor worth watching. Lastly, out t his week is " Underworld: R ise of the Lycans".

Dave Patel and Anil Kapoor on India's version of "Who Wants to be A Millionaire?" Love-Lines.org BY TIFFANIE HOANG A & E Editor Lovelines uses a data collection engine that "examines thousands of blogs every few minutes to find expressions of love and hate, posted Love-lines.org is an online art project by by all manner of people." Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar that explores Lovelines is built around three "movehuman desire by presenting a gallery ofhuman ments": "Words", 'Tictures", and "Superlaexpressions rangingfromlove to hate as expe- tives". Words and Pictures present individual rienced by the many people who keep personal statements of human desire. Superlatives gives online journals. According to its Web site, a daily breakdown of what was most loved to what was most hated. Lovelines is presented on a white screen with a slider at the bottom that scales from "love" to "hate". The slider has a draggable heart that moves through the scale of human desire: Love, Like, Want, Indifference, Dislike, and Hate. In the artists' statement, Harris and Kamvar say: "Great desires imitate the physics of giant pendulums: the higher they rise, the deeper they fall. In this sense, love is inextricably tied to hate, desire to despair. Lovelines walks the line between these two extremes, painting pictures of the shifting landscape of desire. Constructed entirely from found artifacts - words and pictures posted to blogs - Lovelines draws its identity from a world of strangers, brought together by shared degrees of desire." samLAiim LWS L L'NfcS »nmiiovm Y OU Y OU Q UOTES .«amu^ WATCHING OFFENSE COMEDY MOVIE i W ^ THEMT ' "* T HAT LOOK ACID VIDEO »w««»» YOU ALL , HIM . s®*™* YOUS VIDEO -- • '* V . r". v. • ' .-¿'1: • y s...... - MOVIE MYSPACE THAT SONG — ~ SKATEBOARDING VIDEO rr.
