ASI Early Learning Center (ELC). ASI currently subsidizes the ELC, however the grants would help alleviate costs to run the center and would be used to pay for teachers' salaries. The ELC is a childcare program for children two to five years old, and provides care for the children of CSUSM students, faculty, staff, and the community. At the board meeting, Gonzalez told of the need for a site supervisor for the ELC. The supervisor would teach in classroom 3, the preschool class, and would relieve some of the teachers. The site supervisor would also serve as a sounding board for ELC teachers and adult volunteers, and work in conjunction with Joyce Williams, ELC Program Director. The ELC supervisor should have a master's degree in human or child development, be an expert in curriculum and counseling, and have early childhood education units. The board plans to pay the site supervisor with the money that would have gone to an ELC teacher who left the center. Gonzalez also announced the need for an independent contractor to assess the ELC. The contractor would assess curriculum, staffing, and the finance of the center. The costs for the assessment report, travel costs, consultation, and future contact with the contractor would be $3,000. There is the hope among the board that the ELC will move on campus in a few years, with plans and a building layout already in progress. ELC tuition may change, according to an ELC rep. Currently CSUSM students pay either $22 or $15 a day for ELC tuition, depending on a fullday program or part- day program for their child. CSUSM faculty and staff pay either $25 or $27 per day, and community members pay $27 or $18 per day for tuition. For The Pride Faculty members at all 22 Cal State campuses are threatening a strike if current talks with administrators do not yield a new contract. "I think it's highly likely that we will strike," said George Diehr, a Cal State San Marcos faculty member and member of the faculty's bargaining team. "There's been no effort to bargain productively or in good faith." The California Faculty Association and the Cal State administration have been in negotiations since last April, and have yet to come to an agreement for the faculty's next threeyear contract. Two weeks after the current contract expired on June 30, the Public Employees Relations Board declared in impasse in the bargaining. Both sides are engaging in meetings with a mediator that could last through October. The California Faculty Association bargains for all 22,000 Cal State faculty in the state. Cal State San Marcos has about 150 faculty union members, and 374 total full- and part-time faculty. The faculty is asking for a 5.7 percent average salary increase, including a 3 percent increase across the board, Diehr Sundance AwardWinning Film Director Comes to GSUSM By VICTORIA B.

They are also seeking more compensation for part-time faculty, extended contracts for parttime faculty, equal pay for teaching during the summer, and the hiring of more full-time faculty. The Cal State administration claims the governor and state legislature determine its budget, including salary increases, and that it is not able to meet the faculty's demands. "The governor gave us a 2 percent package," said Mary Elizabeth Stivers, Cal State San Marcos Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs and a member, of the administration's bargaining team. "We say, the governor gave us 2 percent, and that's what we're giving."

By JENNIFER HOLMES and DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writers As rescue teams in New York City and Washington D.C. continue to work around the clock to recover and rescue victims, several CSUSM clubs have come together to show their remorse and support for individuals suffering from the Sept 11 tragedy. During last week's Business Expo/Club Fundraising events, organizations including the Anime Project Alliance, Sigma Iota Epsilon, and the Victorious Club coordinated a flower drive on Wednesday and Thursday to raise money. They purchased approximately 75 roses and 70 Times Disaster Relief Fund, which will match $.50 on the dollar, according to another coordinator, Chris Donahue of Sigma Iota Epsilon, which is an honorary management fraternity. "If other clubs want to donate flowers or help maintain the booth, we welcome them," said Donahue. "They are also encouraged to donate by purchasing flowers from the booth."

If the mediation process does not yield a new contract, both sides enter into factfinding - one representative from each side and an outside arbitrator will comb through the issues and make a recommendation. If a compromise is not reached after the factfinding report is released at the end of this semester, Diehr said the faculty would strike. Cal State administrators say they are not sure at what point the administration would give in should there be a strike. "It's hard to say," Stivers said. "If 90 percent of the faculty go on strike, we would then talk about how to resolve this." Last year, faculty at universities in Hawaii went on strike for two weeks before the administration settled on a contract. If a university is closed for more than two" weeks, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges will not count the semester for accreditation purposes. During the strike, the Hawaiian faculty union said it was willing to sponsor student lawsuits to gain their units back if the semester was thrown out. Cal State faculty has never gone on strike before, and Stivers said she hopes the situation does not come down to that. "I am hopeful that we can resolve this before it gets to that point," she said. "In the end, the people most affected by a strike are the students." Diehr said whether or not there is a strike is up to the administration, noting that the chancellor has imposed his own deal twice before when negotiations where at an impasse. "They don't believe we will strike, therefore they don't bargain," Diehr said. "Ergo, we have to strike." If the faculty do strike, it will happen sometime during the spring semester, after all the state-mandated bargaining meetings have taken place. S tudents!

On Monday morning, Sept. 17, after a four-day closure, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) reopened with a symbolic and humble beginning. New York Emergency and Fire Rescue workers rang the opening bell, signifying the start of trading. After pausing for a two-minute moment of silence before the market's opening, Richard Grasso, Chairman of the NYSE, said, "This couldn't have happened without them . .. Our heroes will now open the market place." The sound of the bell was almost muted by the applause of the crowd. After an initial plummet, the market stabilized briefly. At the end of Monday's trading, the market showed signs of strength. Other than drastic drops in insurance, airline, and financial service markets, it was a relatively average day on Wall Street. As more information throughout the week pointed to the United States moving toward war, stocks continued to fall and trading ended on Friday with the worst one-week drop since July of 1933, during the Great Depression. The Dow Jones fell 14.2 percent or almost 1,370 points, equaling approximately $1.4 trillion in market value losses. "Fear was stronger than greed," commented Beatrice Black for National Public Radio's ( NPR) Market Place, s umming u p the feelings around Wall Street. The mood in New York's financial district was one of uncertainty. "Anyone who bought yesterday looks like a moron today. And if you buy today, you're worried about looking like an idiot tomorrow. The likelihood of looking like an idiot next week is quite high," said Dominic Freud, of European stocks at S.G. Cowan in New York, during an interview o n N PR's Market Place. Although there is an air of fear permeating the market, the travel industry, including airlines and hotels, is taking the brunt of the losses. American and TWA have both halted meal services in an attempt to save money. 75,000 airline jobs have been cut across the board. The New York City hotel industry is reporting a 45 percent capacity, rather than the seasonal 75 percent. And, hitting closer to home, Tijuana's downtown sector of three to five-star hotels report 90 percent of their reservations have been cancelled due to border and travel problems, according to Judy Martin during an interview on NPR. Congress has agreed on an immediate expenditure of $5 billion to help bolster the airline industry, with a promise for $10 billion in loan guarantees. This is an attempt to reestablish public confidence and help to return the United States to a sense of normalcy. Bill Nelson, D. Senator of Florida, said returning the airline industry to normalcy is a "very essential first step" on the road to economic recovery. In spite of the negative circumstances in financial areas around the country, many investors said they believe that the market will bounce backh and the drop in stock prices could actually be a golden opportunity for some beginning investors. Looking at past domestic disasters, the drop in market value following the incidents lasted for a short time and then rose to even higher levels, mirroring consumer Confidence. "We've suffered a direct economic impact, but the ripple effect is troubling," said Hilary Rodham Clinton, a D. Senator of New York, during a CNN interview Friday morning. Rodham Clinton said that people around the country need to keep going, and should not withdraw from their everyday activities. In an attempt to alleviate some of the ripple effect she said, "we need to tend to everyday business . .. live our lives." Second Forum Held at GSUSM t o Discuss Terrorism Attacks »Article cont.from pg. 1 a member of the American Council on Education Fellow, spoke on media and terrorism. "If we give up our civil liberties then the terrorists have won," said Dr. Bethami Dobkin. Student Darren Marks, a senior and member of the student organization, Young Americans for Freedom, agreed with Dobkin's statement about not allowing the terrorists to "win" by giving up civil liberties. "I will guarantee you that this type of terrorism will happen again in the future," he said. Another student representative, Ricardo Favela, from Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A.,), also spoke Thursday afternoon. Favela and fellow student Isabel Soliz set up an altar last week as part of an independent study on Founders' Plaza in remembrance of those that lost their lives in the attacks. Panel members also discussed the racism and violence - towards Muslims, and people of Arab descent. Other professors on the panel included: Farid Mahdavi and Patty Seleski, history professors, Susie Cassel, literature and writing and ethnic studies professor, Liliana Rossman, communication professor, Peter Zwick, Director of University Global Affairs, Staci Beavers, political science professor, Wesley Schultz, psychology professor, and Don Barrett, sociology professor. Tuesday, September 25,2001 3 Graduation Open Forum in the Works Robert McArdle, his children, and a fellow student helped chalk the CSUSM stairs. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) By STEPHANIE BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Students will notice a bit more color on campus in the next few weeks, due to a group of graduating seniors who are chalking the steps around the university to demonstrate their unhappiness with the university's decision to hold this year's commencement off campus. The group of students, led by Robert McArdle, a senior and liberal studies major, began chalking the steps leading down to the first floor of Craven Hall, near the flag pole. "Seniors unite," is now the colorful message that welcomes individuals as they walk up the steps. "We want to bring student awareness to the administration's decision to move graduation off campus," said McArdle. "We're letting student voices be heard, when administration should have done it in the first place." The seniors working with McArdle include Bryan Clark, Beverly Huss, Alicia Mendivil, and James Tellez. They have organized a graduation open forum for students that will take place Thursday, Oct. 11 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on the steps of Founders' Plaza, outside of Academic Hall 102. McArdle announced the upcoming forum during the ASI Board of Director's meeting on Friday. The open forum will be a place for students to discuss their thoughts, complaints, and suggestions concerning the graduation ceremonies, according to McArdle. Students will have the opportunity to voice their opinion and create awareness for the entire campus about the current graduation plans. We're hitting seniors first because it (graduation) will hit them first," said McArdle. "We have administrators who said they'd come to the forum, along with the Assistant to the President, Student and Residential Life, ASI." The students are trying to find more sponsors for their cause. They presently have the Future Educators Club as a direct sponsor for the graduation forum. McArdle said that he recently sent out 5,704 e-mails to students and faculty announcing the need for a graduation open forum and received 2,166 responses. "I got tons of support. Out of the 2,166 e-mails I got back, only three were negative," said McArdle. "In half of those e-mails, I got people who thought graduation was still at Palomar." Commencement 2001-2002 will be held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. For more information, contact Robert McArdle at mcard001@csusm.edu. INVESTMENT STRATEGIES THAT ARE CLEAR AND CONCISE.

Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." —Henry David Thoreau mm m were 100 movies a year with Indians," said Eyre. "And John Forbes was one of the most detrimental things to happen to Indians," said Eyre, who described Forbes' earlier movies, like 1939's "Stagecoach," as portraying Native Americans with no culture. Eyre described Forbes' 1964 film, "Cheyenne Autumn," however, as the redemption movie. "He took back his portrayal of Indians," said Eyre. Eyre, who is originally from Klamath Falls, Oregon, said he got involved with photography before he began working with film. "I never intended to work with actors," said Eyre. "I never thought about the representation of Native-Americans when I was growing up. Eyre also reflected on the recent attack in New York City and Washington, D.C. "It gives generations behind mine, in their 20s, a cause. Because this could last 10 years, or more. There could be a legacy beyond that. If you jsaw what happened if it hit you between the eyes, don't miss the point. That's a generational calling. Have love for each other." Eyre also said he hopes to work on a movie based on the life of Leonard Peltier, an Anishinabe-Lakota Indian, who is considered a political prisoner by Amnesty International. "It's been on the table for about three years now," said Eyre. "But nobody's stepping up to the plate. There's no marquee Indian actor." Students also asked how Eyre competes with more highbudgeted films with special effects, a contrast to Eyre's "home dramas," as he described them, and his films, like "Skins," which cost $2.5 million to film. "I read somewhere that when no one's looking, you can make a good movie," said Eyre. "So I make small movies and something that's meaningful to me." • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i C % r • 1 R mI l e r n l lc t lei 1 1 9 e r I I m mV nt Wo m I ll 2 002 Planning Need • • S tudent R epresentatives • -Logistics Committee • -Program Committee • -Reception/Open House Committee • i i a • ! • • J a J If you are interested in serving, please complete an application in the Associated a Students, inc. office, Commons 203.

A flash from the movie screen called for my attention. There stood Edward Norton. He began to stumble down the brick-layered Montreal street, voluntarily shaking, head cocked to one side. My d isappointment quickly turned to interest. Frank Oz, who in the past has concentrated on some memorable comedies, including "What About Bob?," decided to play it safe with his first thriller, "The Score," using a plot soiled and washed so many times, the color has faded. "The Score" may have scored enough points to keep the game interesting by providing some sparks and suspense in the final scenes, but when the game ended, Edward Norton was left empty handed, scratching his head (don't worry Edward, you weren't the only one). Norton's performance wasn't the reason "The Score" fell short, but rather it was an over-used game plan. Even though Oz recruited an all-star cast including Robert Dinero (Nick), Edward Norton (Jack/ Brian), Marlon Brando (Matf), and Angela Bassett (Diane), how did he expect his team to win when the opposition (audience) knew their every move? He couldn't. Nick and Brian both work for Max, a shameless man who uses self-pity and whining to keep Nick active. Max needs Nick, a polished jewel thief, to take one last job. Max coordi- nates an easy plan (easy because he makes the plan), using Nick and Brian to retrieve an ancient scepter held i n. the Montreal Custom's House that is worth millions and will solve everyone's problems. Max can pay off his debts and, in return, live. Nick, who usually abandons a job at the slightest insecure feeling, commits anyway. He wants to pay off his lazy jazz club and marry his girlfriend Diana (Bassett). Jack will establish himself in the jewelry thief business and make more money than he can spend. It's a win-win situation for everyone, almost. The highlight of the movie is Brian, Edward Norton's character in the film. Brian is a mentally challenged person who takes advantage of everyone around him at the Custom's House, where he works as a janitor. Norton's previous roles, including a racist, hatred-filled turned compassionate character in "American History X" and a split personality in "Primal Fear," have established him as a premier actor. The final heist in "The Score" goes down in a suspenseful yet abusive fashion; only one thief escapes with the treasure. The assortment of equipment Nick uses to complete the heist compared in length to the minutes the movie ran: too many. Nick pulled out gadget after gadget from his bottomless sack. "The Score" did show one original quality; much of the movie focused on the preparation for the heist, which made for some stagnant scenes, doing more harm than good. When Nick and Jack actually performed the heist, I already knew what to expect. Confused, I didn't know whether to feel cheated, or lucky to receive twice the value of admission. Frank Oz may have failed in his first try at a thriller, but he shouldn't get discouraged. Moviegoers are very forgiving. Frank, don't settle on your favorite .hand-me-down shirt, you already know how it's going to feel when you put it on. Take a chance with a new shirt, one you alone picked out. Take it home and wear it. which also sponsors "La Paz Tras el Cerco," or "Peace under Siege," a photography exhibit in the Library Gallery.

Well, besides completely satisfying the typical movie-going American audience, you create "Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation." Why spend eight bucks to sit through Hollywood's latest plot-deficient pathetic excuse for entertainment, when you can take that same wad of cash and witness pure (but not innocent) animated comedy with the sick and twisted features we all secretly desire. "This year wasn't the best," said Farrida Castro, who attended the festival. "On a scale from one to 10, I give it a seven. But they showed 'Rejected,' one of my all-time favorites." When a few handwritten words appeared on the screen, you could feel the audiences' hopeful anticipation as everyone shifted themselves to the edge of their seats. The words read: "A bitter cartoon," by Don Hertzfeldt. People behind me were giving high-fives as they knew what was to come; just then the image on-screen switched to one sloppy handwritten title: "Rejected." Half of the audience jumped out of their chairs, cheered, hooted, and laughed, and that was just the title. Feeling like friends at a bachelor party when the huge papier-mache cake is brought out, the other half of the audience and I knew we were in for a real treat. Stick-figure animation, con- versation bubbles and cheesy elevator music, cooked together with a few clever lines of harsh relationship-ending cliches and low-tech violence made for about the most hilarious two minutes of my life. "No Neck Joe" was another crowd-pleaser, this time starring a young Joe who,, unsurprisingly, has no neck. These 30-second cartoons sporadically placed throughout the festival have such titles as "Joe Go.es Star-Gazing" and "First Hickey." But these are definitely not why this festival boasts "Sick and Twisted" in its name. The majority of these animations have graphic and disturbing violence, such as heads ripping off, or mutilation by rabid animals. A nine-minute animation set in a fancy Italian restaurant, involved several characters shooting vomit into each other's mouths, while waiters tried to drain the building by hand so the puke wouldn't overflow into the streets - that was disgustingly hilarious. There was even a sick and twisted sexual parody of a typical preschool book, where audiences can "See Spot Run," and "Watch Spot Hump Jane." In 1977, Craig "Spike" Decker and Mike Gribble collaborated to promote underground bands including their own "Sterno & the Flames." To make ends meet, they occasionally held all-night horror-a-thons, showed classic rock 'n roll films like "Jimmy Plays Berkeley" and "Quadraphenia," and premiered original short animations like "Bambi meets Godzilla," which soon developed into a cult favor- ite. Spike and Mike soon realized the potential in this previously untouched entertainment genre, and embarked on one of America's greatest forms of entertainment when they created Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. The annual Animation Festival began in 1990 and is growing more popular every year, despite the unfortunate death of Mike Gribble in 1992. The festival is not only a great form of alternative entertainment, but has also spawned some of America's most famous animation superstars, such as Beavis and Butthead. As for Comedy Central's hit matureaudience cartoon, South Park, well, that too started at the Sick and Twisted Animation Festival. It is home to "Spirit of Christmas," the original, uncensored South Park cartoon by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. If you're one of the thousands that still cry when Bambi's mom is shot, avoid this festival; but if Disney's tear-jerking sagas failed to touch your heart, then this version is going to smack your funny bone. The Sick and Twisted Festival will play in different parts of San Diego until Nov. 17. Call Landmark's Ken Cinema at (619) 283-5909 for show times, contact Ticket Master, or get all the information, plus other sick and twisted animations on-line at www.spikeandmike.com. Tickets are $6.75 or $8 dollars, depending on if you remember to bring your student ID for the discount. �Ever since the tragic events of Tuesday, Sept. 11, our world has changed. Not only on the grand scale of military action and how we view our freedom, but also on our campus. The anguish felt around the nation is felt here, as is the anxious guessing of what will happen next. Those feelings have sparked a lively debate in and out of our classrooms. Everyone seems to have an opinion about what the United States' next move should be - either to bomb the smithereens out of the Middle East or to peacefully do nothing and avert nuclear war. Others are blaming Arab Americans and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

By RICHARD SAUNDERS F o r The Pride There is a country that stands tall and true, And guess what America that country is you. Mysterious knowledge of the past you mask. I have just a couple of questions to ask. Where is Chandra Levy? Is she alive and well? That's the wrong question. Is Condit going to hell? Gary Condit says that there is an explanation... "I didn't do it. Vote for me in the next election, I'll put an end to this violence that is clearly bad, And get rid of.. .uh.. .end all the problems you've had." If his nose gets any longer he'll still be a toy, Tell the truth Condit and you'll be a real boy. Where is our president? Oh he's back from vacation? Oh he went to Texas for some peace and relaxation. One question to ask him to get him The Pride C o-Editor C o-Editor .

How did someone get enough money together to pay for the attacks on Sept. 11? Throughout Saudi Arabia, bin Laden has many "charities" to which wealthy Saudi businessmen contribute millions of dollars. Where is this money coming from? Oil. OPEC, of which Saudi Arabia is the primary organizer, is our main source of oil. Every time you turn on a light switch, cook a meal, pave an asphalt road, and run your car, you are putting money into bin Laden's pocket. What can we do? Stop buying oil from nations like Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has not spent the money on her people or land. Our money is not being spent on helping a country thrive; it's being spent on threatening our lives. Who can we call on to change this? Contact your representatives, senators, and local officials. We shouldn't have to pay to be terrorized, yet that is exactly what is going on. (To read the full essay with supporting references, go to http:// home.earthlinkjiet/~firerock/) E.A. Jensen Santa Monica Correction During the tragedy of the WTC and Pentagon terrorist attacks, I made an unfortunate mistake. I had received a wonderful forward, from many friends, of a prayer. As a result, like I do with all forwards, I cut the text from that message and sent it as a new message to many of my friends. Seeing as I had also received e-mail from The Pride, I decided to place that e-mail address on the list. I had hoped that it would be placed in the school publication as an e-mail that had been sent out as a reaction to the terrorist attacks. However it was published as if I had been the author of that prayer. I am sorry for the confusion and wish that I knew who the true author of the prayer was so that s/he could receive credit. I thank my family in New York for sending me the e-mail, and I also thank The Pride for sharing the e-mail with the rest of the student body and faculty that read The Pride. I feel that the more people that read this prayer the better; however^ I in no way mean to take credit away from the true author of the letter. Megan Crea Letters to the Editors Praise and Condemn? In this time of national tragedy and grief that American citizens everywhere are sharing, I am writing this letter to you to voice my shame in The Pride. In the article "Students Respond Differently to Tragedy," the authors are blatantly finger-pointing and showing an irreverence to fellow student's emotions. While it may be true that many students needed silence for reflection and prayer, it is also important to consider that other students deal with their emotions differently. While some students were trying to deal with the sheer shock of the events that were unfolding, others were angered and their anger was finding a cathartic route through music. How can the authors praise some students, and yet, condemn others for the way they chose to come to grips with the reality of our situation? The job of journalists is to present news in a professional and unbiased manner to allow for the reader to come to their own conclusions. The media is powerful and has the means to shape readers views and opinions. Please do not abuse this power by promoting discord among our students, especially in a time that calls for unity, understanding and the freedom of expression among Americans.

Bill Holmes �The Pride __ Opinion Tuesday, September 25, 2001 7 The Critical Thinking Cliche Battle of the Sexes By JOSEPH SANCHEZ For The Pride At first it amused me, but then the steady bombardment of it began to upset me. In spite of all the talk, the implications were clear: CSUSM only uses the term "Critical Thinking" as a cliche. I sat through class after class, listening to professor after professor solemnly pontificate about the importance of critical thinking, and how that was one of the central goals of their class, "I want to help you think critically about these important subjects, etc, etc." Haven't we all heard this, or is this only the mantra of the humanities department? The joke being of course that we have no philosophy department! We have only two philosophy professors, and one of them was hired just this year. As I pondered this humorous state of affairs, I realized that there might be more than just bureaucracy involved. After all, didn't one of my Lit professors respond to a claim that he was contradicting himself with," It's postmodernism, it doesn't have to be logical." Now the term critical thinking does not imply that an argument need only have logical coherence, but logic is an important, possibly foundational, part of it. If postmodernists have reinvented the wheel (or questioned its existence), then why do they keep the term? Because it empowers them with the illusion of being real critical thinkers when in fact they are just ideological peddlers. The problem is real. Take for example the lack of critical thinking over abortion. The real issue involved is not the right of a woman to her own body, nor is it the moral problem with murder. Both sides, I think, have basic agreement in regard to those issues. The real issue is what defines a human life? Instead of engaging each other over this question each side prefers to ridicule the other. By claiming that women's rights are at stake, ProChoice thinkers create a false dichotomy in which they are the enlightened humanitarians and Pro-Choicer thinkers are backwards Neanderthals wishing only to subjugate women. Similarly, Pro-Choice thinkers distance others with psychologically devastating claims about murder and holocaust. Both of these claims are only potentially true. They become true if and only when the unborn fetus is proven to be either human or not human. This is where they should be engaging each other. This does not necessarily imply that our society is hopelessly irrational. I simply used this as a common illustration that we can all relate to. Change Payment Plan to Avoid Making Students Angry and Frustrated By CONSTANCE CHUA Pride Staff Writer The time has arrived and here we are in a new semester. Looking forward to meeting new friends and having a smooth transition from last semester to this semester? I hope you had a nice summef break that will give you enough energy to fight for your rights. As a senior here at California State University San Marcos, I was very prepared to register on tiijie to take all my required classes to graduate. I registered some time in May of 2001 or June of 2001 and got my entire schedule set for my school and work. When a schedule is set normally it would make a person's life easier, but not in this case here at Cal State University San Marcos. The reason for that is because someone suggested to whomever is in charge with changing our payment options, that it would be better if they received funds 10 days after a student registers for classes. From a business perspective, when you buy something you normally get something out of it, which is understandable. Which means, if we register we should pay our registration fees. However, there should be some kind of set guideline that is convenient for students, such as making sure that if they have a loan, their payment will be deferred, or make them pay as soon as they attend classes. What I mean is that many student that I have talked to at the very beginning of the school semester had to crash all of their classes due to their classes being cancelled by the Admissions Office for not paying within 10 days of registration. But for those of us who are graduating, it might be difficult to just crash a class in order to fit our schedules. On exactly Aug. 21, 2001 2 p.m. in the afternoon, I met with my close friend, Patrice Labao here at school to get ahead with the semester and buy a parking permit and books. When I came to the bookstore ready to buy a book and punch in my Student ID number along with my code, the computer screen read, "you are not registered." "When a schedule is set normally it would make a person's life easier, but not in this case here at CSUSM.'9 I started to panic and hyperventilate. I felt a little mad, to slightly describe it, blood rushing to my head, and I had a major migraine. I rushed to the Admissions Office and asked about my status within this University. I spoke with a young woman and she stated, "Well, we dropped your classes because we did not receive your payment on time." I responded, "I have a student loan here at Cal State and I have been attending this University a little over four years and I have always had a deferred payment." And she responded, "Why don't you check with the Financial Aid Office because it looks like they needed some information from you." I was very frustrated. I felt like I was betrayed iand neglected. I stood in line for about 10 minutes until I spoke with a lady name Hedy. She was a very nice lady and was very helpful and told me that she needed more paperwork from me. I didn't want to be angry with her because it was not her fault that this happened to me. But as I can recall in the previous semesters, if the Financial Aid Office needed some information from me, then they would mail me a letter informing me that they needed additional information. However, they cancelled my registration as of July 10, 2001 without notifying me. Not only did it create animosity towards the students and staff, but also towards students and Cal State's systematic way of doing things. Furthermore, as soon as I got signatures from the classes that I crashed, the Admissions Office had the audacity to impose a $25 late registration fee. I urge all students who have or have had the similar situation as I have to please question our system. We are talking about our money here. We all should carefully examine fees that are imposed in our registration payment. I suggest that you look at your printout very carefully and see how many types of recreational fees they imposed. We, the students here at California State University San Marcos can make a difference, but we all have to do something about it now. This week: Why don't some guys talk after sex instead of just falling asleep? Battled by JUSTIN ANDREWS and KIMBOYARSKI Justin: Think about what happens when you're "doing it": frictional sensations pulsating through thousands of nerves, and your muscle contracting and dilating over and over again, all while an overdose of serotonin flows through your body like Johnny Raver with a sack of candy. I don't expect you to understand, but believe me, after a long day in the brush, a nap is more than called for. Plus, we have to call in the troops before they can go into battle, and sustaining those troops takes a different kind of flow than Uncle Sam's wallet. a pleasant breather since the estrogen dam gave way).
