Pride Staff Writer
Students who participated
in the Go Greek festivities,

the band.
Agent 51 also includes Eric
Davis on guitar and vocals, Mike
Levinson on drums, and Chris
Armes on guitar and lead vocals.
Agent 51, who hail from Poway,

CD, "Just Keep Running," was
released July 19.
The band Handful also
played.
"It was cool to come back
here and play," said Handful
band member, Zack Walters, an
alumnus of CSUSM, "I graduated in the spring and now see a
lot of new faces."
Handful members include
Walters on lead vocals, Conor
Volk on drums, and Eric Gaskell
on bass. Handful has been playing together for more than two

Fast Forward Transit Service Postponed U.S. Pulls out of
Racism Conference
Due to Contract Negotiations
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Feature Editor
The North County Transit
District (NCTD) has postponed
plans for the "Fast Forward"
transit service.
The new program would
have given Escondido residents
a direct bus route to Cal State
San Marcos. The proposed bus
route, 347, would have replaced
bus route 383.
The original date for the
start of the service was Sept.
16. However, NCTD and coach
operators were unable to agree
on a contract. On Friday, coach
operators voted against a contract proposed by the NCTD.
Many of the coach operators
said the NCTD was " . . . not
being fair, they have to pay us
what we deserve, many administrators make more money than
we do."
"Passengers should have faster trips, enjoy more convenient
service on main routes, and see
more comfortable bus stops over
time," according to an NCTD
booklet publicizing the service.
Meeting Our Future Transportation Needs
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Feature Editor
North County residents
attended a workshop on Saturday
to
assist
the California
Department of Transportation's
development of a federally
mandated, 20-year California
Transportation Plan (CTP) for
2025.
Kimberly Weinstein, chief
of the system-planning branch,
said that she was surprised to see
low turnout. 50 people attended
the workshop. "We were.expecting a lot more people," said
Weinstein.
San Marcos residents who
participated in the workshop
stressed their desires for a more
accessible and safe transportation system. Solana Beach and
Del Mar residents want better
community environment.
The CTP is a long-range
transportation plan that will
address local, regional, interregional, and international transportation issues. "The plan is
to make every dollar count to
improve mobility," said Jack
Boda, Interim District Director
of Caltrans.
The CTP Public Participation Program reaches out to
various communities throughout
California to learn the public's
views on transportation issues,
including the improvement of
highways, streets, rails, and transit systems.
Charles Anders, President of
Strategic Initiatives, conducted
an audience survey with the
use of interactive audience
technology, which is similar to
online polling. According to his
results, the important transportation needs for the public in
2025 include: viable transportation choices, and affordable,
accessible transportation.
"Every community is different and we understand that there
are different needs, that is why
we are conducting this survey
to try to reach all needs," said
Anders.
The California Department
of Transportation-District 11 and
the San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG) presented the workshop.
The CTP will host two more
workshops, olie in San Diego
and another in Imperial County.
The CTP will draft a plan and
policy review and will return in
the winter of 2001 with a final
draft for public review and comment. Those would like to participate are asked to contact Renee
Krolikowski at (619) 688-3295.

impact of the decision to pull out
that the U.S. made. They contend
that although the conference has
not progressed as planned, they
will continue to discuss ways
to mend past racial wrongdoings
and acceptable ways to deal with
ethnic diversity around the world.
The remaining delegates said they
have not lost hope.
The conference is designed
to look at and celebrate cultural
diversity, but was hindered by the
focus on the Israelis' treatment
of Palestinians, and the question
of the West paying reparations to
past victims of slavery.
When the U.S. pulled out
from the conference, the action
sparked mixed reviews from
conference attendees. AfricanAmerican protesters said they
wondered why the U.S. would not
compromise and continue with
the talks, and delegates said there
was no room for a compromise.
"This is not a question of
persuading people. This was a
question of an iron wall ... ,"
said delegation member and Calif.
Representative, Tom Lantos. On
the other hand, Mary Robinson,
the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights
who organized the conference
said, "There is a good sense that
we are back on course."
Last week the U.S. joined
Israel and backed out of the World
Conference Against Racism, held
in South Africa. Before the conference started, the U.S. and Israel
warned that they would not participate if the offensive language
in the documentation, labeling
Israel as "a new kind of apartheid," was not removed.
Secretary of State Colin
Powell said, "I have taken this
decision with regret because of
the importance of the international fight against racism and
the contribution that the conference could have made to it."
The European Union, in addition to the U.S. and Israel, questioned the criticism of the Israeli
nation, but they decided to continue talks on a promise from the
delegates to re-draft conference
documents.
The re-draft used Thursday
acknowledged a forced occupation of Palestine by Israel, but
no longer labels Israel as racist.
Since the change in the documents came at such a late time
in the conference, delegates from
the remaining groups said they
wonder if there will be any progress.

Women's Lacrosse Newest
A ddition to University
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
"Lacrosse is life, the rest is
just details," said student Stacy
Goldstein, describing a sport
she has been playing for seven
years.
Goldstein is part of the women's lacrosse club, the newest
addition to campus clubs this
year.
Rachel Acfalle, another student and lacrosse player, said,
"Right now it (lacrosse) is an
extracurricular activity."
Lacrosse is a spring sport
that combines soccer, hockey,
and football. The total cost for
the lacrosse equipment, which
includes the sticks and shoes, is
about $100 per student, according to Goldstein. There are
approximately 20 women in the
club, according to Acfalle!
The players explained that
men's lacrosse is slightly rougher
playing than women's lacrosse.
The women focus, for example,
more on running and using their
hands and sticks to catch the
ball, while the men play the
game more as if it was football.
Although official practice
will not start until February,
women interested in joining the
club have begun to practice and
use the sport "as a way to release
stress," said student Shannon
Donahue.
No information on the men's
lacrosse team is available this
week. Jeff Cudmore, co-captain
of the lacrosse team, declined
an interview, stating that Brad
Schmidt, Technical Coordinator
for ASI, must be present to
answer any questions about the
club.
Other lacrosse players on the
men's team also denied requests
for interviews during Friday's
lacrosse meeting on Mangrum
Track. Schmidt did not respond
to an e-mail or phone request
for an interview.
Those who would like more
information on the women's
lacrosse club may e-mail Stacy
Goldstein

Editorial
Note: Names of the individuals involved
have been removed at the editors' discretion.
Recently an individual who works
for the student government on campus
attempted to stonewall The Pride by
instructing a group of students not to communicate with Pride reporters. Whether
this decision was made to cover up any
wrongdoing is not known at this time,
but what concerns the student newspaper
staff the most is that the students gave up
their freedom of speech so willingly.
We understand that students make
their own choices. Those who choose to
give up their rights do so of their own
accord. Nevertheless, for those who may
not be sure of their rights, we would like
to explain them - with the help of information from the ACLU (American Civil
Liberties Union).
Taking control of a student's ability
to discuss matters with The Pride is
a serious offense to the editors and to
the readership of the student paper. We
understand that people will try to conceal
information.
But any attempt to keep individuals
quiet, especially students whose stories
may be told in print, silences their voices
and hinders freedom of expression. Students' voices must be heard, especially in a
university whose values include academic
freedom and multiple perspectives in the
classroom and in the daily lives of all individuals associated with this campus.
WHAT IS FREEDOM OF
EXPRESSION?
"The First Amendment guarantees
our right to free expression and free
association, which means that the government does not have the right to forbid
us from saying what we like and writing
what we like; we can form clubs and
organizations," according to the ACLU.
The Supreme Court has written that
this freedom is "the matrix, the indispensable condition of nearly every other
form of freedom." Without it, fundamental rights, such as the right to vote, would
wither and die.
The First Amendment exists precisely
to protect even the most offensive and
controversial speech from government
suppression, with the exception of language intended to incite violence.
WHY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
IS ESSENTIAL (according to the
ACLU)
• It's the foundation of self-fulfillment. The right to express one's thoughts
and to communicate freely with others
allows each individual to realize his or
her full human potential.
• It's vital to the attainment and
advancement of knowledge, and the search
for the truth. Enlightened judgment is
possible only if one considers all facts and
ideas, from whatever source, and tests
one's own conclusions against opposing
views. Therefore, all points of view —
even those that are "bad" or socially
h armful — should be represented in society's "marketplace of ideas."
• It's necessary to our system of
self-government and gives the American
people a "checking function" against
government excess and corruption. The
American people must be well informed
and have access to all information, ideas
and points of view. Mass ignorance is
a breeding ground for oppression and
tyranny.
HISTORY OF FREEDOM
Speech is protected in the United
States more than in any country in the
world. However, the path to freedom
was rough. It took nearly 200 years to
establish f irm constitutional limits on the
government's power to punish "seditious"

and "subversive" speech, according to the
ACLU.
The Constitution's creators believed
that freedom of expression was the hallmark of a democratic society. But historically, as was the case with the Red Scare
of the 1920s and the McCarthy period,
First Amendment rights have been tested
time and again. But we must keep in mind
that censorship threatens
free speech.
In the 1969 Tinker v.
Des Moines Independent
Community
School
District case, the Supreme
Court held that students in
public schools do not leave
their First Amendment
rights at the schoolhouse
gate. This means that you
can express your opinions
orally and in writing - in leaflets or on
buttons, armbands, or T-shirts, according
to the ACLU.

Act, which made it a crime for anyone to
publish "any false, scandalous and malicious writing" against the government.
During the late 18th century, the act was
used by the Federalist Party to prosecute
prominent Republican newspaper editors,
according to the ACLU.
The early 20th century was not
much better. Many were jailed for
expressing their opinions, including feminist Margaret Sanger,
who was arrested for
giving a lecture on
birth control.
Finally, in 1969, in
Brandenberg v. Ohio,
the Supreme established a new standard:
speech can be suppressed only if it is
intended and likely to produce, "imminent lawless action." The Brandenberg
standard prevails today, according to the
ACLU.
National security has been one way
that the government has attempted to
shield itself from criticism. The government has historically overused the concept of "national security" to discourage
public discussion of controversial policies
or decisions, according to the ACLU.
While the withholding of information
at CSUSM has little to do with national
security, The Pride realizes that it is
indeed a matter of the students' right to
have access to information that concerns
them - whether that information is about
the administration, clubs and organizations, policies and procedures - or the
decisions of its own government.
Was this incident a form of keeping
students quiet? We think so. But they
shouldn't have let it happen, and we
shouldn't continue to let it happen. Even
a "little" thing like this has the possibility
of further silencing students' voices. Do
not let yourself be quieted.
"Any attempt to
keep (students)
quiet... hinders
freedom of
expression."
CONTINUED DISRUPTION OF
FREE SPEECH
The Pride feels concerned when individuals attempt to take "action that is
motivated by an attempt to control, manipulate or punish past or future content."
According to the Kincaid v. Gibson
case in 1990:
School officials cannot:
(1) Censor or confiscate a publication,
withdraw or reduce its funding, withhold
student activities fees, prohibit lawful
advertising, fire an editor or adviser,
discipline staff members or take any other
action that is motivated by an attempt
to control, manipulate or punish past or
future content. Kincaid v. Gibson, 236
F.3d 342.
This law also applies to all student
government officials, according to the
State Board for Community Colleges v.
Olson, 687 P.2d 429.
