At the conference, held at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, students from universities across the nation will share their research projects in 18-minute oratory presentations. Traditionally, the conference was restricted to research projects of technical nature, however, this year papers from the field of humanities will also be presented. Students CynthiaChovich and Anne Radspinner were chosen by Professor Madeleine Marshall to represent CSUSM because of research papers done for her Women's Studies course last semester. "Several other students did extraordinary work as well," cited Marshall. She said that Chovich's and Radspinner's papers were selected because of their adaptability for presentation. For the conference, each paper must be transformed into an 18-minute oral presentation. After each address, the students will be questioned about the subject of the presentation. Radspinner, who wrote her paper about a quarrel between Mary Wolstencraft and Jean Jaques Rousseau, said she is nervous about presenting a literary topic to academics who have strong literary foundations. "I don't feel that I have enough literature background to get up and talk about it," she said. Chovich expressed that she too was nervous about the conference, but said she felt honored and excited about being chosen to attend it. Her paper deals with Delariviera Manley, an 18thcentury woman author who was known for her bold points of view. "(When I chose the assignment) I told Madeleine I wanted to profile a woman who was outrageous and outspoken," said Chovich. In the 1700s, Manley was jailed for her book, "The New Atlantis." She was later released after men of the time summized that a woman was incapable of writing such controversial works. Marshall said that both papers represented a pioneering spirit that students have adopted in their approaches to research papers at CSUSM. She said that students helped each other in the process of gathering information for the assignment According to Marshall, the college has given overwhelming support for the conference. She said that founding faculty member Joan Gundersen (History) and Executive Vice President Richard Rush were integral in the process of entering and attending the conference. Construction starts amid drought L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Even though construction has begun on the $14.3 million Craven Hall Building, campus officials are concerned that the current drought and budgetary problems may drown all hopes of opening the Twin Oaks Valley Rd. campus by the scheduled fall 1992 date. According to Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction, all of the time buffer allotted to the project was eaten up in a 12-week construction halt, which stemmed from a dispute between former contractor Louetto Construction Inc. and grading subcontractor C.W. Poss. "If we experience any more delays," said Amado, "the college will be forced to find additional renting space for fall 1992." Amado said that since the replacement of Louetto by the San Marcos-based Lusardi Construction Co., construction has moved along at a brisk pace. According to Amado, Lusardi met its first deadline with the completion of pads for the Phase I Academic Buildings and Craven Hall. Work on the six-story centerpiece began March 4, with construction on the academic complex buildings starting on March 5. Central plant construction is scheduled to commence this summer. Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing campus construction is the 5-year-old drought which is currently plaguing California. Last Thursday, directors of the San Diego County Water Authority unanimously approved enactment of the most severe wateruse restrictions in county history. The restrictions would require that residents of S an Diego County cut water usage 50 percent during the summer. "I have not yet been advised of water shortages hurting construction," Amado said. He pointed out that the decision ofwhether or not to cut water supplies to construction projects will come directly from the County Water Authority. Mark Watton, of the CWA, speculated last Friday that, even with the series of storms heading toward San Diego, the amount of water added to the state's reserves would be minimal. He said that cutbacks would be reduced by only a few percentage points even SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 4 �N ews Briefs FEE INCREASE APPROVED In a unanimous vote by the CSU Board of Trustees last Wednesday , a proposed fee increase of 20 percent by California Governor Pete Wilson was approved. If Wilson's budget is implemented, the fee increase will take affect in fall, 1991. The budget increase would raise part-time tuition by $90 per-year and full-time tuition by $154. A ten-point plan addressing the 1991-92 CSU budget was also presented to the governor by the trustees. Due to the failure of Prop. 143 in November, the CSU system faces a shortfall in revenues totalling $90 million. GOVERNMENT SURVEY TABULATED Tabulations of a survey of how a government representing the student body should look, are now in. Of the 126 surveys received, all but 10 supported efforts to form a student governmental organization. The predominant model chosen by those who completed the questionnaire was a representative-type of government. This form of government received 68 responses of favorable manner, while the Presidential model got 26 and the Corporate/Municipal model registered 21 votes. Eight of those surveyed had no opinion. The. results indicated that the Associated Students' constitution should have an initiative process and recall provisions. Direct election was the favored form of selection of governmental representatives, with 87 positive responses. Most students said they would prefer that the head of the student government be a president rather than a chairperson of the Board or council chair. NEW SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED The CSUSM Office of Financial Aid has information and applications for the two new scholarships. Both scholarships are available for undergraduate students at CSUSM. The American Association of University Women is a $250award for female juniors or seniors who are San Diego County residents and have at least a 3.0 overall GPA. Deadline for applications is May 1,1991. The Great Western/Rancho Pefiasquitos S cholarship is for an undergraduate Business major with a 3.0 or higher GPA. The award is for $500 and the application deadline is June 3,1991. In addition to the new scholarships, the Office of Financial Aid would like to inform students that several good on-campus jobs are now available for CSUSM students that have been awarded college workstudy. NEWSPAPER STAFF TO ATTEND STATEWIDE CONFERENCE Members of the staff of Pioneer, are scheduled to attend a statewide journalism conference in Sacramento March 21,22 and 23. The conference, held by the California Intercollegiate Press Association (CIPA), will be attended by representatives from 23 university newspapers across California. At the yearly event, delegates will attend seminars and compete in on-site competitions. Previous issues of Pioneer have been sent for judging, with results to be announced during the conference. "If we receive only one award," said Larry Boisjolie, Pioneer's Editor-in Chief, "it will be a remarkable achievement." According to Boisjolie, the conference allows CSUSM students to participate in an intercollegiate event for the first time. Along with Boisjolie, Graphics Director Jonathan Young, staff writers Debbie Duffy and Elaine Whaley, and photographer Kathy Sullivan will partic pate in the conference. University, local businesses will be 'partners' in education J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER With an announcement of the implementation of a Business Partners Program at Cal State San Marcos last Tuesday, Business Administration Department officials introduced a mentor program exclusive to CSUSM. "We believe that this program is the first in America to take the integration of the University and the Business Community to such lengths," said Bernard Hinton, Dean of Business Administration. "Others have developed a number ofexcellentprograms . ...The critical difference in our program is the concept of a true partnership, a full and total involvement of members of the business community in the education of today's students and tomorrow's business managers." As a four level plan, the Business Partners Program would unify the academic and business communities. The Business Associates, Business Partners, and Senior Business Partners programs will establish a business mentorship program, with each program reflecting increasing levels of company participation. A B usiness Affiliates program will also be implementèd forfirmswhich lack the resources to participate in the higher levels of personal involvement or commitment required for the other programs. "The (overall) program calls for each College of Business Administration student to be matched with a mentor drawn from the business community," said Hinton. "The same student/mentor relationship will be maintained . .. for the duration of the Business club forming In order to facilitate the process of locating mentors to participate in the recently announced Business Partners Program, the CSUSM Business Students Association will hold its first meeting today at 6 p.m. Another meeting will be held March 20 at noon. The primary task of the BS A is to compile a pool of businesses that would be interested in participating in the Business Partners Program, a new program announced by the College of Business Administration last Tuesday. The group is being organized, under the guidance of Business Dean Bernard Hinton, to give students the opportunity to aid in the selection of candidates for the program. The Business Partners Program will be implemented in fall 1991 and requires a personal tutor for each College of Business student. CSUSM officials estimate 400-500 students will enroll in the business program that semester. Times and club leaders will be chosen at the first two meetings. student's stay at CSU, San Marcos." Hinton said the program would be beneficial for both students and businesses. "As the mentoring relationship develops, the student is expected to become involved in resolving realworld programs . ..," Hinton said. "We are confident that the Business Partners Program will allow us to forge a strong link between classroom experience and business experience. It is designed to address the needs of the business community of San Diego and North County, to provide graduates who have a practical business orientation, and to help students successfully launch their careers in the business world." The Business Mentors Program will be the first in the nation to mandate mentoring within the curriculum, rather than having it serve in an adjunctive role in the student's education. "While mentoring has been widely accepted as an especially effective way of assisting individuals in their learning process, the idea of formal business mentoring of all students is one that I believe to be unique to CS U, San Marcos," Hinton said. Hinton said this program will be in place by fall of 1991. With the expected enrollment at that time, the College of Business needs 400-500 mentors to be involved with the program. . "We are dependent upon (the media) to help us get the word out to our potential partners that we are ready, willing, and able to do our part, but they must first identify themselves," Hinton said.

In a resolution passed March 1, the CSU Academic Senateclaimed the ROTC program's discrimination on the basis of sexual orien tation is a violation of basic humanrightsand inimical to the valuesof the university, and is in violation of a non-discrimination policy for the CSU system. Therese Baker, Sociology Founding Faculty, serves as the CSU San Marcos representative to the Academic Senate. "I think the main discussion in the resolution is that the CSU does not support groups and Medication now more accessible If you have read the papers lately, or even watched some television, you may have noticed the current advertising blitz for Gyne-Lotriman. This medication for vaginal yeast infections can now be purchased over the counter since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Monistat, another medication for vaginal yeast infections, will also be available very shortly. These are more effective than the currentover-the-countermedications and previously were only available by prescription from a physician. Both medications are considered to be very safe if one doesn't have an allergy or sensitivity to them. Both have been used for a long time and have few side effects. How these drugs will be used, however, has raised concerns in the medical community. According to the drug companies, they are supposed to be used by women who previously have been diagnosed and have recurrent vaginal yeast infections. The symptoms of the problem are fairly straightforward: a white cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and itching. There should not be abdominal pains, fever, urinary symptoms ar skin lesions present Women who have recently been on antibiotics, who are on oral contraceptives or who are pregnant are most likely to develop yeast infections. Unfortunately, some women associate itching with a yeast infection and are likely to use the medication which could mask symptoms of more serious infections. PARTNER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 forward and let us know of their interest in joining with us." As of Friday, not even a week after the announcement, Hinton said he has already received a response. HEALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS In college-age women, Human Papilloris Virus (HPV), a sexuallytransmitted genital warts skin condition of the vulva, and genital herpes v iruj infection can have similar initial symptoms to a yeast infection. Because of this, weatHealth Services advise that women who have multiple sex partners and are at highrisk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases see a health-care provider for any vaginal symptoms, even if they have had a yeast infection before. Likewise, women who use the medications but don't see improvement quickly or who have had to use the medication as frequently as four times peryear,shouldconsultahealthcare provider. Perhaps the more compelling reason for students to visit Health Services is that Gyne-Lotriman will cost approximately $18 over the counter, while our prescription yeast medication will cost you $6-7 per-prescription and you can be assured of the diagnosis. Dr. Joel Grinolds is the Chief pyhsician for CSUSM and SDSU North County. programs that discriminate against students, especially on sexual orientation," Baker said. The ROTC program assists with the funding of a students' college education with the agreement that that student will join the military as an officer. The Department of Defense has apolicy prohibiting homosexuals from becoming officers in all branches of the armed forces. "ROTC brings more educated students into the military," said Baker, "as well as giving support to students who want to go into the military." The Academic Senate urged the Department of Defense to end its discriminatory policy based on sexual orientation. In a written response, the Department of Defense wrote: "Accordingly, we do not plan to reassess the Department's policy on homosexuality." New center reduces writing anxiety LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Faced with a menacing 2,500-word, across-thecurriculum writing requirement, Cal State San Marcos students are hard-pressed to deal with anxiety created by term paper assignments. To help students. in the process of writing class assignments, Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor in the English Department, has organized an on-campus writing center. The Center uses student tutors to help decipher class writing projects. "This is not a paper mill," says Mendoza. He stresses that the objective of the Center is to help students formulate their own ideas and not to write their papers. The 10 student tutors working in the Center are comprised mostly ofEnglish and Liberal Studies majors. They meet with Mendoza on a bi-weekly basis in seminars to learn tutoring concepts and methods of dealing with problems. Each tutor is required to spend a minimum of two hours per week in the Center. In return, they receive three units of class credit each. "We've had people from eight different majors use the Center so far," says Robin Keehn, student director for the Writing Center. Keehn says she has already tutored students who had difficulty approaching research papers, poetry interpretations, journalsand social-psychology papers. Even though tutors will face subject matter with which they may be unfamiliar, Keehn says tutors still can help students formulate their own ideas. "Tutors can help anyone get ideas for papers," she points out. "No writer writes within a vacuum." Tutor Elizabeth Sansom says that feedback is an important element in the paper-writing process. "I would not think about turning in a paper without getting feedback first," she says. Since its opening a month ago, the Writing Center has increased in its popularity. Keehn says that business is expanding so quickly at the Center, that students are advised to make appointments with tutors. "I had to turn away three students yesterday," Keehn said last Friday. With the second half of the spring semester starting after Easter, tutors anticipate an increase in students using the Center. Since many assigned papers are due in the final days of class, tutors expect the need for the Writing Center to increase. Keehn stresses that students should utilize the facilities at the Center in order for the program to continue its operation. "Our hope is that we will prove the worthiness of this project," cites Keehn. "If we want to make our program live, we need students." Student tutor Roy Latas says that professors he has informed about the Writing Center have expressed enthusiasm in the concept and have openly encouraged students to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by i t Keehn says the Center will help students at any stage of the paper-writing process. From die "germ of an idea" to the final product, students need help in approaching problems, says Keehn. "I guarantee that if anyone brings a paper in here, the writing will improve."

With the series of storms expected to hit San Diego in the next week, Amado said he is also concerned about construction delays that might be incurred with rains. Another problem facing the budding campus is the lack of available funding from the state. With the failure of Proposition 143 last November, money, that would have gone into furnishing the new buildings, suddenly became unavailable. "The state is currently experiencing major financial difficulties," said Amado. " It's difficult to acquire any type of additional funding." Funding has already been approved for all of Phase I, but Amado said the rate at which Phase II will begin is dependent upon another source of income. �TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1991/PIONEER 5 S PRING P ERM S PECIALS HAIR DEPOT & TAN's Custom Perms, Specialty Wraps, Spirals, Piggybacks, All Perms Call for a FREE consultation with one of our professional stylists!

The Academic Senate claims the basis for such a suggestion stems from the ROTC's refusal to accept homosexuals into its organization. Because of the organization's bias, the Academic Senate feels it necessary to deprive low-income citizens—who have no prayer of raising funding for education save through the programs ROTC offers — of higher education. Once again the overly liberal academic community contradicts its own goals through its actions. The Academic Senate seems more concerned with making a liberal statement than it does with the advancement of education to as many people as possible. Themilitary'spolicyofnotacceptinghomosexualsamongits ranks is a valid age-old policy that is reflective of the moral integrity that our armed forces are supposed to represent Those that serve in the American military should be spotless examples of perceived social morality. Whether we like it or not, the military is an elite, sexually segregated club that has proven its ability to run efficiently without the opinions of the academic community. Whether we like it or not, it should remain as such. Its members should be constructed of the highest moral fiber attainable in America. Even though this goal will never be fully met, it can be pushed along towardfruitionwith the policy of antihomosexuality. Issues of sexuality have no place on the battlefield. If the American military starts accepting homosexuals what will be next? Coed bunkers? Perhaps a battalion of those who practice bestiality will arise. Even with this age of sexual enlightenment and tolerance, homosexuality is still considered socially aberrant behavior. For thisreasonwe will never have a gay President nor should we have a gay militia. The reason homosexuality becomes a public issue for discrimination is that liberal organizations, like the Academic O U R V IEWS ••••^HaHHBHHHaHHHBHi STAFF EDITORIAL Senate, make it one. S exual p reference should remain private b usiness not to be shared with the world at large. For those who cry about discrimination heaped upon toem because of their sexuality, we can only say, "You should have kept it to yourself and your partner. We didn't care to know about your sex life in the first place." With its shunning of ROTC, the Academic Senate is drawing attention to an issue that few of us, save the vocal out-of-thecloset homosexuals care about. As a result of its action, those who joined ROTC to afford a quality education will be deprived. Why should the military discriminate against a private activity like homosexuality you may ask? The answer is simple. On the battlefield private lives temporarily cease to exist. All personal problems and abnormalities are shared with the guy in the trench next door. Imagine how comfortable a guy in a tank would feel when confined with a raging queen. The last thing his uncomfortable mind will want to do is fight the enemy. We at Pioneer are by no means homophobic, rather we would like to stress the point that individuals with contempt for homosexuals do exist Judging from the very goal of the military, it is probably safe to say that more than one homophobe exists in the armed services. The last thing our military needs is internal conflicts between heterosexuals and gays. So what is the Academic Senate really doing by condemning the ROTC's age-old policy? They are simply trying to gain some liberal ground that is currently slipping with the rise in the conservative military's popularity. That's a pretty sad reason for excluding the needy from education. Imagine a country so buried in its own garbage it pays poor countries to take the waste off its own hands. Or a country that actually considers sending its trash into space. Or a country with barges piled high with trash and nowhere to go. As we approach the 21 st anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, there is no need to imagine such a country; it is America. It is time to realize that, as consumers, we are being used in a game for profit in which we profit nothing. The $85 billiona-year plastics indusSTUDENT FORUM try has sold us the idea that plastic is the perfect packaging; it is convenient, non-1 breakable, squeezable and disposable. What do plastic manufacturers mean by disposable? Although the plastics industry makes huge profits, the responsibility for disposal is ours, not theirs. And the fact that unnecessary plastic packaging will not decompose for at least 400 years is alarming indeed. Consider this: we throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles, 2.25 million disposable diapers, and 250,000 plastic pens every hour! While the numbers themselves are staggering, when coupled with the reality that these products will remain in the environment longer than our cars, our homes, our children,t)ur grandchildren and their grandchildren, we realize the plastic industry's definition of "disposable" is not ours. Once plastic refuse enters the environment it is not stagnant; rather it is an active threat, killing one to two million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals every year. These innocent victims unknowingly ingest or become entangled in our disposable plastics. According to David Laist of the Marine Mammal Commission in Washington D.C., "Plastics may be as great a source of mortality among marine mammals as oil spills, heavy metals or toxic materials." While this plastic threat can float in our oceans or waterways for a long time, it also washes up on our beaches, causing an enormous litter problem. On a typical day at Beacon's Beach in Leucadia, I found: plastic milk bottles, soda bottles, six-pack holders, tampon applicators, shampoo, mustard and catsup bottles, a bandage box, suntan lotion, motor oil and brake fluid bottles, razors, diapers, fast food plates and cups, etc., etc. Now we must realize that the production of this refuse is dangerous. TheEnvironmentalProtection Agency has a list of 20 chemicals, the production of which creates the greatest amount of hazardous waste, and five of the top six are chemicals used most often by the plastics industry. The production of plastic generates hazardous waste, emits toxic chemicals into the air, while also polluting our water. Plastics are also dangerous to incinerate because of the toxic fumes emitted.

It pays no attention to criticism." N .DEKALB K UWANIS B EACON With war in the Middle East waning (for now), the national consciousness has returned to domestic issues. Among these issues, deterioration in world market competitiveness has American economists and politicians looking toward Japan, and its economic strategy, as a possible panacea to emulate for the nation's economic affliction. This elixir has unhealthy side-effects and will only put the American economy into a coma by widening the fissure between the rich; who are increasing in political power, and the middle-class; who, for the first time in US history, have a lower standard of living than their parents and are joining the ranks of the poor; who are increasingly growing in quantity and decreasing in political status as evidenced, for example, by funding cuts in medical care. Japan's industrial targeting, through such bodies as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), has set up a dichotomy of winners and losers. Import barriers, such as on rice, force Japanese consumers to pay more for the grain and gives farmers there an inflated p rofit Itiscommonfora Japanese urban middleclass family to live in an apartment of less than 1,000 square feet, pay more for food and other goods than their American counterparts, and deal with a bureaucracy that forces them to buy a new car every two or three years. Does the American public need this kind of big-brother government intrusion into its daily lives? Additionally, M i l l ' s development policies have often been wrong. In the early 1950s MITI opposed Sony's attempt to go into transistorized goods, citing that the U.S. had cornered this VIEWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 of plastics produced are recycled because, according to Solana Recyclers, the only market for recycled plastic is beverage bottles. Because of the mounting concerns of consumers over the hazards of plastic waste, the industry is trying to sell us their solution in the form of "biodegradable" plastic. This may indeed pose a new problem. Because the same chemicals are used in the production of "biodegradables," the hazards of manufacturing and incineration remain the same. "Biodegradable" plastics can take months to break down, allowing plenty of time to suffocate or entangle wildlife and marine mammals. Smaller pieces are also easier for animals to ingest. What is most frightening, is the health hazards they may create when broken down. This concerns the EPA because, when plastics disintegrate into smaller pieces, there is more surface area exposed from which heavy-metal pigments and other toxics could leach out into the soil. Allen Hershkowitz, a solid waste expert with the Natural Resources Defense Council, has yet another worry. "These little pieces of plastic, which are laced with heavy metals, are small enough to be market. In the 1970s MITI opposed Honda's attempt to venture into automobiles. Do we need, in the United States, a governmental agency telling us, for example, that towns such as Milwaukee, St. Louis and Golden, Colorado should abandon beer production because the Germans have a monopoly on the frothy brew? What the U.S. needs is both capital-intensive, as well as knowledge-intensive, industries if it is to b e a world-market leader. Support for high technology does not mean we intend to write-off heavy industry. What it does mean is that the United States should be the world leader in high technology and therefore command an advantage in international trade. We saw in the war against Iraq how handsome the dividend is when we invest in high technology. We will never produce all the steel we need, but we cannot afford to be without a capacity to produce steel, if for no other reason than strategic defense; at the same time it would be unwise to invest in steel given the nature of external competition. Proponents of the Reagan/Bush economic doctrine contend that by stimulating the economy through tax-breaks for industry, the consumer benefits by virtue of the trickle-down effect. Their mantra-like dogma, they preach, will stimulate the economy through tax reductions for business. This will, in turn, fnotivate growth in industry, giving the group more capital to spend, and with this growth in capital spending comes the need for more workers. More people with jobs means more spending on goods and services which increases demand, and with an increase in demand there will be a need to increase supply which brings more growth in industry. What the consumer may lose initially is made up for ultimately with a decrease in unemployment and more money in his pocket to spend. What the proponents forget is that industry, like Machiavelli's prince, only sows the economic seeds of growth only as much as the amount of money to be reaped. Special-interest groups continue to place pressure on Congress to pass legislation that will favor them; what this means for the rest of us, is less being spent on education, police and fire protection, and other public services, and more money being taken out of our pay checks in order to cover the decrease in assets resulting from tax breaks for those in targeted industries. The Japanese government has shown that large amounts of public funds, along with larger amounts of bureaucrats, are unnecessary for an effective industrial policy. What makes industrial policy work is the competence of those in charge, therigorof the analysis they apply, plus realistic expectations of the market and a philosophy that transcends the American "what can I do to survive this financial quarter" mindset and looks instead at long-term goals. Industrial targeting places a false emphasis on goods that consumers may not want; this means that industrial capacity is sacrificed. In short, all the manure in the world doesn't help the grass grow if the trickle of trickle-down economics wrings the middle-class dry. breathed through the nose and mouth into the lungs," he said. So what can we do to halt this threat to our health and our environment? First, we must stop our cycle of consumption without conscience, and realize the choices we make affect much more than ourselves. We must consider the permanence of the products we choose, while re-using these products as many times as possible. For instance, although a disposable diaper can only be used once, a cloth diaper can be reused hundreds of times. This ' use it once and throw it out' attitude must be stopped. Every time we grocery shop we are asked, "Paper or plastic?" Although the best answer is to bring your own reusable canvas or mesh bag, the second best solution is to choose paper and use it the next time you shop. Some supermarkets even pay when you bring back your bag to be refilled. Before we make a purchase we should consider whether the packaging can be recycled. Because there are many products we cannot buy in recyclable packaging, we must join others in pressing our state and local governments to consider a comprehensive measure to limit or ban the use of non-recyclable plastic packaging, while as individuals we must follow through in our actions by recycling everything we can. Mandatory recycling may also be necessary because, although we have curbside recycling in our communities, only 50 percent of the homes participate. Recycling is everybody's responsibility; therefore we must educate and encourage our families, friends, and neighbors to recycle with 100 percent participation as our goal. Although it may seem we have far to go in the eradication of plastic packaging, let us not lose sight of the tremendous impact the actions of an individual can have. For, if we are to make a change before the next anniversary of Earth Day, it will take individuals like you and me, taking small steps toward a better world. It is only through the collection of many small steps that any great distance can be travelled. SHARE Y OUR V IEWS ... of campus and world issues by writting a Letter to the Editor.

A few of those events include T our Anza-Borrego! on March 27, The Anza Expedition on March 28, Fossil Life of Anza-Borrego on March 29 and The Changing Desert Land- popular with all types of off-road vehicles. At night it is often circled and illuminated by headlights. An additional 18,000 acres of land is being acquired to the OHV area and will soon be open to recreational use. More information about the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area can be obtained by calling 767-5391. The Anza-Borrego Desert is also home to several natural, unpaved hiking trails. The Park Rangers caution hikers of cacti and rattlesnakes and recommend carrying plenty of water. One of the most used trails in the park is the Borrego Palm Canyon N ature Trail. This trail starts at the top of the Borrego Palm Canyon Campground an leads to a native palm grove and a year-round stream. There is a slightly longer alternative route which returns hikers via a hillside with some different plants and a good view of the Borrego Valley. This is a 1.5mile trail.

Using the lens as apaintbrush, he meticulously reflected the natural world around him. With a camera Adams was truly one with nature. Because his works teemed with spontaneity and beauty, however, Adams' view of the civilized world seemed cold and contrived. Because of this, Adams' two photographic displays now showing at UCSD clash with each other; one is a perfect example of the technology at the UC campuses, and the other clearly depicts nature in its truest form. Adams was commissioned by the then UC president in 1963 to take vast amounts of pictures of the University's campuses in California. A sample of these photographs is on display in, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,' which means, "Let there be l ight" Every photograph seems to contain either huge, white, stark buildings, portraits or agriculture. None of the "familiar" Adams photographs are even alluded to in this display. One portrait in particular, is a perfect example of the stiffness and separateness that seems to permeate these commissioned photographs. This photograph is named, 'Tony Delap, Instructor, Art Department, 1967. UCI.' In the picture, Delap is seen posing and holding his glasses in his hand as if he is ready to speak. On his face is a pensive, yet knowing mood. In front of Delap is a table filled with geometric shapes, and in back of him there is an array of amateurish art pictures. This portrait is posed, rigid and totally without imagination or creativity. The only photographs worth seeing in the 'Fiat Lux' display are the desert research prints and the agricultural center prints. Otherwise, do not even bother viewing this portion of the exhibit. The second display, 'The Museum Set,' which represents photographs Adams took in 1979, is well worth the trip to the Art Gallery. In this display, Adams creates masterpieces out of the nature he views through his camera. Each print is a delight and a wonder with trees, rocks, mountains, snow, sand, clouds, waterfalls, or people. * vijv. . jfe. ,%/'¥• v.' Ansel Adams used the Scripps Institution of Oceanography as the focus of "The Scripps Pier, ca. 1 966/ The Regents of the University of California now have the rights to this and other Adams-signed photographs. As the viewer approaches the second display, a large portrait of Adams and his camera dominates the wall. Adams is within every single photograph of this display. In 'The Museum Set,' a compelling portrait is, 'Spanish American Woman Near Chimayo, New Mexico. 1937.' This portrait features an older woman. Her face is her life's story. With a small smile, she calmly looks off into the distance. Shrouded in a black veil, her face, with all its tell-tale wrinkles, is encircled and almost protected from the world. Behind her is a bleached, worp, wooden column, which is a reflection of the woman's solid, aged face. Another of Adams' photographs within this display is named, 'Oak Tree. Snowstorm. Yosemite National Park, Ca. 1948.' Standing majestically and powerfully in the middle of the photograph is a solid oak tree, with its branches energetically reaching for the sky. Delicately resting upon the branches of the oak is peaceful snow. Behind this great oak is a small forest, but no tree is as powerful as the oak. This entire photograph gives one the feeling of solitude and peace, and "Evening Clouds and Pool, East Side of the Sierra Nevada, from Owens Valley, California, c. 1962" is traveling with a series of Ansel Adams' photos entrusted with the Pacific Telesis Group. looks as if walking into it would be like walking into heaven. Viewing Adams' photographs is both calming and stimulating at the same time. If you have never seen his works, it is worth driving to the UCSD campus to view this wonderful man's prints. However, skip the technological display, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,* and go directly into the second display, 'The Museum Set.' There are some superb photographs within the second display, and Adams is at his best in these photographs. These two collections will be on display at the Mandeville Gallery on the UCSD campus through April 7. . 'Fiat Lux' collection on UC tour For two decades, 605 signed Ansel Adams photographs of the campuses andresearch centers of the University of California lay sequestered in a University of California archive, virtually forgotten until last year. After they were once again brought to life, 100 of these never-beforeexhibited prints were curated for a traveling exhibition called, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux.' The prints will be shown with selections from a companion exhibitentitled, 'Ansel Adams: The Museum Set,' through April 7, in the Mandeville Gallery of the University of California, San Diego. 'The Museum Set' is a collection of photographs owned by Pacific Telesis Group. Adams created this collection to represent the scope of his l ife's work. He produced only a limited number in this series before his death in 1984. PacTel acquired this set in 1984. The origin of the 'Fiat Lux' set occurred in 1963, when UC president Clark Kerr commissioned Adams to take extensive photographs of the UC campuses for a book that would commemorate the university's 100th anniversary in 1968. The photographs were taken at the University of California's nine campuses, natural reserve systems, research stations and agricultural units during a four-year span. Adams exposed more than 6,000 negatives for the 'Fiat Lux' project. From those, he selected the images to be produced as signed fine prints. The project was to be called 'Fiat Lux,' which is the UC system's Latin motto meaning "Let There Be Light." In conjunction with the publication of the book, Kerr had planned a series of public and private events for the centennial, but the tumultuous political situation at the Berkeley campus, where the UC president's office was located, caused the occasion to pass with little notice. As a result, Adams' works were placed iw'j tnoa gjgW SEE ADAMS/PAGE 13 I JitU *Jf »>'•?•>«»•••..»>if �'NIGHTBREED' A BARKER, BUT Darkman' sheds light on old theme A lot of men think that women have no taste in movies. They are gobbled up in the misconception that the only movies women like are the mushy, gooey romantic flicks. Not me. Whenever I pop into the local Blockbuster Video to make a selection, I put a gag on my date and commence with the choosing. Most of the time my dates find that I can last through a tape that grosses out even the machoest of guys. But queasiness does not a good movie make. I do have a sense for quality control too. Whereas guy s usually pick movies like 'Psycho Freaks From Hell* or 'Amazon Women of Venus,' I go for more first-rate flicks like T h e Exorcist* or 'Poltergeist.' Unfortunately, even I screw up once in a while. On a recent excursion to the video store, I was lured into picking up the worst movie of 1990; a Clive Barker horrible mess known as 'Nightbreed.' If not for my other movie, Sam Raimi's 'Darkman,' the evening would have been a complete waste. The worst t hing a bout 'Nightbreed,' is that it was allowed to reproduce on video cassette. Before the movie begins, author-director Clive Barker primes viewers with a talk of how his movie "breaks the conventions" of the horror genre. It sure does. By combiningpoor acting, a Swisscheesy script and laughable special effects, Barker gives horror-flick conventions the finger. In the movie, Barker creates a ADAMS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 into the archives in the Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley. The sequestered photographs were tracked down only after James Harrod, manager of the UC Irvine Bookstore, became curious about the use of several Adams' prints for a 1986 UC publication. After he had located the photographs at the Bancroft Library, Harrod chaired a committee which then selected 100 prints for an exhibition for the UC systems. The 'Fiat L ux' collection had its inaugural exhibition at the University of California, Irvine, in January. Over the next 16 months the two collections will travel to several UC campuses and to the Oakland Museum. The exhibition and its tour was V IDEO R EWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE mythical world known as Midian, where stupid-looking monsters live in peace to escape the evil humans. The movie's hero is Boone, played by Craig Sheffer (from another turkey 'That Was Then, This Is Now') who is convinced by the evil Dr. Decker, David Cronenberg, that he is a crazed serial killer. I c an't believe that Cronenberg, who directed such horror classics as ' Scanners,' ' Videodrome,' ' Dead Ringers' and 'The Fly,' could act so badly. Working, in the past, with such polished performers as Jeff Goldblum and Jeremy Irons, you'd think he could have picked up acoupleof acting tips. S heffer's love interest, played by Anne Bobby ( 'Bom on the Fourth of July'), is a slam in the face to womenkind. Here is a chick that makes more stupid moves than Saddam Hussein.

It might not be the most believable film ever made, but it is one of the most fun. Dr. Peyton Westlake, played by Irish actor Liam Neeson ('Suspect'), is just about to discover a new synthetic skin. He can get the skin formula to last for only an hour and a monster verse bad people is corny and overused. Yet, Barker has the audacity to tell the audience how clever he is being. I saw better dialogue in the 1964 Japanese classic, 'Voyage Into Space.' If yourent'Nightbreed,' don'tturn out the lights . .. you'll fall asleep. In honor of its creator, I can honestly say this film is a true Barker! v half, but on the verge of a breakthrough, his laboratory is obliterated by a bunch of thugs led by Larry Drake (Benny from 'L.A. L aw'). Left for dead, Westlake is found in ariverand brought to a medical center where doctors, (thinking they are dealing with just an ordinary John Doe) play around with his nervous system. The result is a man who can feel no pain and has an uncontrollable temper. So what we now have is a guy who c an't be hurt, is mad as hell and has a recipe for synthetic skin that lasts about 90 minutes. Putting on the faces of the villains, Westlake gets his vengeance with superheroic style. Neeson plays his role with nice understated charm. I would have liked to have seen more of him in the movie, but Raimi kept his actor's exposure to a minimum to add mystery. Neeson's Westlake is a cross between 'The Phantom of the .Opera' and 'Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.' He builds great empathy for this tragic hero. Westlake's principle love interest, p layed by F rances M cDormand ('Mississippi Burning') is the kind of woman I like to see in movies. In the character of Julie, she is independent and compassionate, without being s marmy. U nlike t he b imbo in 'Nightbreed,' this woman is a class a ct Director Sam Raimi made some of his great movie magic, that he demonstrated in 'The Evil Dead II,' reappear in his comic book story. The effects are pretty cool with explosions and melting skin galor. As a superhero movie, 'Darkman' kicks the tights off 'Batman' because it concentrates more on the action than the dark undercurrents of the p lot It is a movie that really sheds some light on a old superhero theme. f— C O U P O N — Pancho's Mexican Cuisine O L D C ALIFORNIA R ESTAURANT R O W 1 020 S an M arcos B lvd., # 104 $ a n M arcos, C A 9 2069 (619) 4 71-7595 COMPLIMENTARY DINNER ENTREE WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER DINNER ENTREE OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE.
