Cancelling winter session is a step toward the implementa­ tion of YRO, which utilizes reg­ ular state funding to reduce stu­ dent costs, which are less expen­ sive than the Extended Studies Program. “More students will benefit by the new summer semester than will be hurt by the loss of winter session,” said Pat Worden, Students Celebrate Japanese Culture By JENNIFER HOLMES Pride Staff Writer Students commemorated the first day of the second annual Japanese Culture Week (Tuesday, Nov. 13 through Thursday, Nov. 15) by adorning Founders’ Plaza with traditional Japanese paper lanterns. The Japanese Club, students and professors in the Japanese Program, Anime Project Alliance, the Victorious Club, and the American Language and Culture Institute organized and presented cultur­ al activities and displays during the three-day celebration. They organized the event to share var­ ious aspects of Japanese culture with those on campus. “Our goal is to expose people to Japanese culture, to something they wouldn’t typically get being here (in the U.S.),” said Marc Townsend, founder and presi­ dent of the Japanese Club. “In Japan, Nov. 3 is culture day, and everyone celebrates with exhibitions, performances, and food,” said Mikiko Imamura Seyller, professor of world lan­ guages and Hispanic literature, and an adviser in the Japanese program. Although this event did not take place on Nov. 3, like the one in Japan, Seyller said the motivation behind these^events is the same —to promote cultural awareness. On Tuesday, the Japanese Club held a food sale in Found­ ers’ Plaza featuring traditional Japanese favorites including yakisoba (noodles), goyza (Japa­ nese dumplings), and okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pancakes). There was also a Japanese mar­ ketplace in Commons 206, which offered students an interactive video game demonstration set up by Anime Project Alliance. Handcrafted origami arts were available for purchase, as well as video games, laser discs, comic books, and Pocky, which are chocolate-covered biscuit sticks, a popular snack in Japan. Wednesday’s activities began in Palm Court with an exhibition featuring different aspects of modern life in Japan.

Greeks Drive for Turkeys Sex Offenders Must Register with Campus By STEPHANIE BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Mike Smith, President of Tau Kappa Episilon, dressed up as a chickenfor the TKE Second Annual Turkey Drive this Thanksgiving.

Edwards, an African-Amer­ ican female, filed the lawsuit at Vista’s Superior Court on Nov. 13, 2000. Her charges included race, color and/or national origin discrimination; gender harass­ ment and discrimination; retali­ ation; invasion of privacy; negli­ gent and/or intentional infliction of emotional distress; defama­ tion, and violation of the Califor­ nia Family Rights Act, according to court files. In her settlement agreement dated Jan. 26 and released by the university at the request of the North County Times on Nov. 8, Edwards agreed to drop any actions against the university per­ sonnel she had named as defen­ dants in the complaint. She also agreed to state in her records that she voluntarily resigned from her job at the university Jan. 31, 2000. According to court files, however, Edwards states that she received a letter from the director of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity Office in January 2000 informing her that she would be discharged from employment. Edwards and her attorney, and the defendants from Fiscal Operations, Human Resources, and the Equal Opportunity offices were unable to comment before press time. “We can only comment that the matter has been amicably resolved,” said Rick Moore, a university spokesperson. “It was negotiated with the plaintiff and her attorneys. The payment of $210,000 settles a claim for worker’s compensation, based on stress. The payment of $5,000 settles a separate, civil claim for emotional distress. The settle­ ment is not an admission of any wrongdoing.” A law signed by California Gov. Gray Davis on Oct. 5 requires all sex offenders enrolling or working on col­ lege campuses to register with the campus police, beginning next year. The assembly bill states that any person convicted of a sex crime, including students, faculty, and all others working on campus, must notify campus police of their address within five working days. The same applies if the person is disenrolling from the campus, chang­ ing employment, or changing his/her address. If an individual violates the law, he/she will receive a mis­ demeanor, depending on the number of violations the per­ son has or commits. In the past, campus police had no way of knowing if sex offenders were on campus, because they were allowed to live in one area and attend school in another. Now campus police will know who is on their campus. “The database is a valuable tool,” said Tom Shultheis, CSUSM’s chief of police. He added, “it certainly doesn’t mean that every single person who is registered is automatically a suspect.” Federal law forces colleges to let students know who is a sex offender on their campus. Supports of the law said they believe it will be easier for campus police to investigate sex crimes committed on cam­ pus. On the other hand, those who are opposed to the new law say that the right to pri­ vacy is being taken from sex offenders *North County Times contributed to this article. �Student Government Starts Readership Program Free N ew York Times Newspapers Available Next Semester By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Students may have a few more opportunities to read the hews next semester. The Associated Students Inc. exec­ utive committee approved the New York Times readership pro­ gram Friday, Nov. 16. The program, which brings free newspapers to students on campus, will last for four weeks, on a trial basis. “The decision to try the program was easy,” said ASI President Dean Manship. After the trial is up, ASI will assess whether they should begin the paid program, based on how many students pick up the papers. According to Manship, the board had to look at how useful the program is for students and how the program will affect the readership of The Pride student newspaper. “It is really not about the cost. As long as it useful to students then we can deal with the cost,” said Manship, Kathleen O’Connell, a New York Times representative, pre­ sented the readership program to the board on Friday, Oct. 26. Jocelyn Brown, the California State Student Association (CSSA) representative for Cal State San said she asked O’Connell to present the program to the ASI Board of Directors after Brown heard her speak at the CSSA meeting at San Diego State University. “I thought the program was good because it increases news­ CSU and UC Systems to Provide Joint Doctoral Programs in Education By JUSTIN ANDREWS Pride Staff Writer CSU students will soon have easier and more affordable access to doctoral degrees in education. CSU Chancellor Charles Reed and UC President Richard Atkin­ son reached a tentative agree­ ment, in which each system, Uni­ versity of California and Cali­ fornia State* University, will put up $2 million to organize pro­ grams among various campuses. Colleen Bentley-Adler, a spokes­ person for the CSU chancellor’s office, said that the joint pro­ gram may be offered as soon as August. The joint program aims to provide many future teachers with a thorough, in-depth edu­ cation designed to raise the over­ all quality of education for both students and teachers. “I wouldn’t say right now whether that can be done by August, but I wouldn’t rule it out,” said CSUSM’s Dean of Education, Steve Lilly. “This is really important for us, and important to public school peo­ ple around here in general, to have better access to this doc­ toral of education program,” he said. Seventeen percent of Cal State San Marcos students are here for degrees in education. Sixty percent of California’s teachers graduated from the CSU system, all with little or no access to a doctoral degree in education. “We invest a high­ er percentage of our resources in education training than any other Cal State University,” Lilly . said, noting that UC Riverside is a nearby school that offers educational doctorates. In I960, the California Master Plan for Education assigned the UC system to be the sole provider for a doctoral degree in an education pro­ gram. Bentley-Adler said, how­ ever, that the UC system is not meeting the demands of future teachers. Eighty percent of these degrees are obtained at expensive private schools, which deprives the majority of California’s teachers of a higher level of education. . Some may wondef whether future educators f^m flie CSU system are ready for a doctoral program. A study conducted by the CSU system shows that more than 25 percent of students grad­ uating with teaching degrees feel unprepared to teach English and math, while 60 percent said they were not prepared to teach science,, history, or social sci­ ence. Buddhism Discussion P art o f Event »A rticle cont. from pg 1 student Miwa King. Wednesday’s activities also included a lecture and demon­ stration on Hayashi, Japanese kabuki percussion, by Katada Kikusa in University Hall 237. The demonstration featured Hayashi’s main instruments as well as the koto, the oldest tra­ ditional Japanese string instru­ ment, which dates back 1,300 years. Ken Saragosa, a leader of the Buddhist organization, Soka Gakkai International-USA, spoke about Buddhism’s prin­ ciple belief in humanity and the empowerment of people. “A great revolution of character in just a single man will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation and, further, will cause a change in the destiny of all mankind.” About 45 people attended the lecture.

The California Faculty Association (CFA) organized the Nov. 14 teach-in to present the Board of Trustees with a unified front of support. The morning of the teach-in began with vocal protests, and the crowd organized a picket line outside the CSU trustees meeting, held at the chancellor’s office. The rally began with an introduction and welcome from Gonzalo Santos, CFA president and a professor from CSU Bakersfield. Speakers included Assemblywoman Judy Chu, State Assemblyman Alan Lowenthal, and Miguel Contreras of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. State Sen. Gloria Romero also attended the event. The speakers addressed issues including the corporatization of higher educa­ tion, the decrease in money the universities spend per student, and the lack of sufficient new tenure-track faculty positions. Student Sadot Chavez, of CSU Dominguez Hills, spoke out in support of CSU professors, and the “Meta” acting group from Cal State Los Angeles performed a satirical theatre presentation called “Mac State University.” Finally, Susan Meisenhelder, another leader for the CFA, came outside from the chancellor’s office to tell the crowd that the petitions from every Cal State campus had successfully been delivered to the trustees, despite alleged skirmishes between the police and the protestors when the petitions were delivered. Trustees, however, came out to retrieve the petitions. Those who attended the teach-in enjoyed a catered lunch and live musical entertainment. Founder of University s Research Center Resigns By VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editor After founding the universi­ ty’s ^National Latino Research Center (NLRC) in 1997 and serv­ ing as its director, Dr. Fernando Soriano has resigned as NLRC director. “I’m both happy and sad about the departure —happy for the center and myself, but also sad to be apart from it,” said Soriano, who officially resigned from the position Nov. 1. The NLRC, Soriano explained, provides and pro­ motes informational research and databases that focus on the Latino population. “But with the recent growth and the number of staff at the center, it becomes difficult to be an effective direc­ tor and to do what I do,” said Soriano. Dr. Pat Worden, the uni­ versity’s associate vice presi­ dent of Academic Affairs for Research, and the dean of gradu­ ate studies, will serve temporar­ ily as director. “The center was Fernando Soriano last year at Open House. (Pride Photo/Victoria Segall) meant to be my contribution,” said Soriano. “At some point, I had planned to release it to the university to let them help it grow.” Before he resigned, however, Soriano asked university presi­ dent Alexander Gonzalez to seek advice for future NLRC projects from consultants and experts of Latino research. “I’m really excited about the university tak­ ing a greater role with the NLRC,” said Soriano. “It will require them to take a greater amount of responsibility with the center.” Soriano will continue in his position as the director of the human development pro­ gram at Cal State San Marcos, and he will continue to teach as an associate professor at the university. This past year, he was appointed a member of the U.S. Census Bureau, and he also serves on the Race and Ethnic Affiliation Committee. Soriano also plans to focus more on his research on youth violence. “With all of the concern we’ve had over the year or so with school violence, it becomes more important for me to work on these issues,” he said. Before he joined Cal State San Marcos, Soriano taught at the University of Missouri. He received his bachelor’s degree in psychology from the UC Riverside, and his psychology master’s and doctorate from the University of Colorado, Boulder. �Peter Jennings and Local Media Interviewed by Public By VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editor Roles were reversed when the San Diego public interviewed local media about news coverage, particularly of September 11, on Nov. 17 at “Ask the Media,” a live televised panel discussion with Peter Jennings, news anchor and senior editor for ABC’s “World News Tonight.” “We’re trying to get some appreciation of what’s on your mind, and honest answers from the panelists on what we report and how we do it,” Jennings told the audience of 800 that gathered at the University of San Diego’s Shiley Theater. “This will not only be a national, but a truly international experience. We’ll try to understand our role in this current phase of American natural life.” The subjects of questions posed ranged from media cover­ age of the war and hate crimes to the presence of minorities in news anchor positions. Featured panelists included news anchor Hal Clement from KGTV-10 News, editor Kent Davy from the North County Times, radio host Roger Hedgecock from KOGO Radio, news anchor Kimberly Hunt from KGTV-10, news director Lourdes Sandoval from KBNT Univision, and staff writer Kelly Thornton from the San Diego UnionTribune. One of the first ques­ tion^ from the audience (which included college students, teach­ ers, retired military personnel, and members from the Muslim and Sikh community) was, “How does the media determine what they tell, like military opera­ tions?” Hal Clement said that some news stations are selective of the news they present. “For example, we wouldn’t tell about a mission beforehand,” he said. “We would be devastated to find out that anything we would report on would cause the death of any serviceperson.” “We do know how to wait,” said Kimberly. Hunt^ who revealed that KGTV and other news stations knew about the plans for the U.S. attack on Afghanistan 24 hours prior to their reporting of it. Jennings added, “They [the media] do have access to people in the defense department will­ ing to leak information.” Some of the panelists dis­ agreed with one another when they discussed the decision of sending reporters into war zones. “I don’t believe that report­ ers should be in the war zones,” said Roger Hedgecock. “It would be like inserting an ally of the Taliban.” “It’s the right of the people,” disagreed Lourdes Sandoval. “Otherwise, why are we journal­ ists?” Audience members ques­ tioned whether or not the media was covering news or creating news, especially since the war in Afghanistan and the anthrax scares. “This isn’t abofit sowing fear, it’s about keeping you informed,” said Clement. “We don’t want to alarm you, we want to inform you.” Kent Davy referred to the North County Times1 coverage on the safety of the San Onofre nuclear power plant since the Sept. 11 attacks. “We believe the press is playing a useful role to keep you well-informed,” said Davy. “I feel it’s better to have more information than less.” As the evening went on, the audience discussed more Sept. 11-related issues, notably the dis­ cussion of local hate crimes. One individual, who identified him­ self as a member of the San Diego Chapter of the Muslim American Society, said, “We have found ourselves victimized by hate mongers and people putting out messages that are anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim, especially by people like Roger Hedgecock ... what is your moti- that hijackers who were on the. planes who ran into the World Trade Center, lived in Clairemont, worshipped at the mosques, and were taken in by local Muslims at their homes. I think it would be unnatural to say we shouldn’t have a conver­ sation about how many are loyal to the U.S. and how many are here to murder Americans.” His statement also brought applause are no rules,” it is dependent on the news and radio station’s individual decisions. A student from Mount Carmel High School, who said she hoped to become a broadcast journalist someday, asked how the panelists stay calm and ratio­ nal when they report the news.” “We have a job to do,” said Hunt. “We focus on what we need to do when we strap in that chair and focus on the news information.” Hedgecock said that talking about it helped everyone when they discussed the terrorist attacks. “The focus helps,’’ said Jennings. “I was so focused on what was happening, that two weeks after (Sept. 11) I felt ter­ rible.” An audience member, who identified himself as a member of the Sikh community, comment­ Hundreds of San Diegans gatheredfor the “ the Media ” event with Peter ed that there was minimal local Ask media coverage on the attacks Jennings, nexys anchorfor ABC s “World News Tonight. ” on Sikhs.

Everyone has their favorite holiday foods whether they are traditional, like turkey and cran­ berry sauce, or not so traditional, like chicken enchilada pie or tofu turkey. But does anyone have a favorite holiday drink? Eggnog is the typical, tradi­ tional drink of choice, but there are other festive drinks for the winter holiday season. Here are some tradi­ tional holiday drinks, Eggnog and Wassail, and one with a Californian spin: Sunny Holiday Punch. Also, there are three drinks the Snowball, Peppermint Stick, and Angel Face -- that will put you in the holiday spirit even after your mom bums the turkey.

Thanksgiving Basket Cases Ingredients: 46 oz. can of pineapple juice 28 oz. bottle of club soda, chilled 6 oz. can of frozen orange juice This Dessert Will Knock You O ff Your Feet By JOY WHITMAN Pride Staff Writer With the holidays just around the comer, scrumptious baked goods come to mind, especially fudge, pies, cookies and cakes. Although it doesn’t have a “holi­ day” theme, there is one deli­ cious treat that works well for any occasion: “Better than Sex Cake.” Yes, you read that cor­ rectly. To prevent shocking and embarrassing your relatives and friends at those holiday gather­ ings, you may want to change the name, or refuse to tell them. Ingredients: 1 box of devil’s food cake mix 1 can of sweetened condensed milk 1 jar of Mrs. Richardson’s cara­ mel topping (or any brand you choose) 2 Skor bars (gee, what an appro­ priate addition) - Heath bars work just as well. Preparation: Make the devil’s food cake by following the directions on the box (most likely it will call for eggs and vegetable oil, so you may want to add these items to the grocery list if you don’t already have them). Let the cake cool for about 20 minutes, and poke holes in it with the end of a wooden spoon. Next, pour the sweetened condensed milk into the holes you’ve made. Use as much of the milk as you want, depend­ ing on how sweet you want it. Then, pour in the caramel top­ ping. Cover and refrigerate the cake for about one hour. Top the cake with crushed Skor or Heath bars, and serve. Since this cake is extremely rich, I would advise getting a tall glass of cold milk to wash it down. Note: Whether or not the name of this delightful treat is deserving of its name is up to you to find out. Cheers.

(Courtesy Photos/HarryPotter. com) By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor The strangest thing about “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” is its length. The film is 2 Vi hours long, but its target audience has a half-hour atten­ tion span. Perhaps I am wrong. Maybe the target audience was never children, but rather their parents. At the theater, some preteens and younger were inter­ spersed with a much larger crowd of adults —many adults without a kid in sight. Although this is great for the industry — selling to a wide variety of customers — children under eight or nine won’t be able to appreciate the film, if not for the length, then for the dark scenes and night­ marish creatures. But for fami­ lies with pre-teens and up, Potter is worth seeing at least once, but maybe not twice. The hero of this story, Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe), is an 11-year-old boy, and the storyline is meant for children (whether or not they should bother is up to you). Radcliffe is new to the film business —his first screen role was playing the young David Copperfield in a made-for-TV movie. But Radcliffe already has star power. When he is onscreen, you can’t take your eyes off of him. Yet, why wouldn’t he become a star? Chris Colombus, a director who is an expert in telling a good family story, directed Radcliffe. Colombus’ previous credits include “Home Alone,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Nine Months,” “Stepmom,” and his directorial debut, “Adventures in Babysitting.” Colombus has a way of finding the cutest aspect of kids and selling the audience on their appeal -- even when the story line is mediocre. Potter also has some out­ standing special effects, but also some mediocre ones. During the Quidditch game (a Warlock sport), athletes are supposed to fly on their brooms, but the imag­ es are cartoonish at best, fake at worst. The images do manage to look similar to the drawing on the cover of the novel, which may be a good thing if it were not so irritating to the eye. The good effects include Hagrid as a giant (the scenes where he looks gigantic do not look fake in any way), and the paintings in Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In one scene, Potter rests at the nurse’s station while a walllength painting hangs above his head. Although nothing moves near Potter, in the painting a nurse walks to a patient’s bed­ side and blows out a candle. Yes, it is hauntingly similar to the Disneyland Haunted House ride, but it is such a neat effect that it doesn’t matter how small a world it is. For those who have read the Harry Potter series, you know that the story takes you on a mag­ ical adventure. The film parallels the novel, but somehow loses that mysterious charm in some scenes. For example, the alley­ way where Hagrid takes Potter to buy his warlock school materi­ als looks very unique, but is Soficitamos tra6ajos originates para nuestro ntmiem a pubGcarse en (a primavera def2002. <Emrienpoemas, cnentos, ensayos, critka, via correo etectronkoa t <D Caribs von Son, r. cvonson@csusm. edu oath (Prof. <3esosa, m6esosa@cstism.edu. not what my imagination had conjured up while reading the book. When the images onscreen broke away from what I had imagined, the film lost its magic. But I suppose if you haven’t read the book, then this film is just a family treat and nothing more. But for those of us who expected just a bit more, there are some disappointments. Yet, when Radcliffe smiles (for he does have the most charm­ ing smile) you again believe in the magic. Any 11-year-old girl that sees this film will absolutely fall in love with Radcliffe, for he is adorable. And, for adults, Radcliffe’s childlike fascination with the world around Mm draws reminded me of the bratty Veruca Salt from “Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory” that made me grit my teeth throughout the film. Yes, part of her annoyance was just her character, but the tooth-grinding loudness also car­ ries over to real life. What is refreshing about the film is the adventure, action and mystery, but there’s no love story* Even in “Toy Story” (another popular children’s film) there is a love story between toys. Hollywood has pushed love sto­ ries into every action/adventure film to attempt to pull in all possible audiences, but no love story exists in “Harry Potter.” you into the story. There are annoying things about the film, such as the Quidditch game effects, and especially the lead girl, Hermione Granger, played by Emma Watson. Her character is sup­ posed to be a Ms. Know-it-all, but that is not the annoying thing about her. Instead, it was her loud-mouthed acting,which Just good old adventure. Very refreshing. “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” is rated PG for some scary moments and mild language. If the child in your life can handle the occasional dark and scary scene and can sit still for a long period, I would still recommend taking him/her along.

Soul indeed. The Los Angeles Staples Center was transformed into a church on Monday, Nov. 12, as Irish rock group U2 proved that rock n’ roll can be a spiri­ tual experience. U2’s congrega­ tion alternated between trans­ fixion and frenzy as the band performed a two-hour set filled with some of their biggest hits. With the house lights still on, Bono, guitarist Edge, drum­ mer Larry Mullin Jr., and bass­ ist Adam Clayton took the stage in an understated fashion not seen since the early 1980s. The band opened with “Elevation,” followed by “Beautiful Day,” both from their most recent album, the Grammy-winning “All That You Can’t Leave Behind.” The stage featured a heartshaped catwalk that allowed Bono to strut into the crowd, pas­ sionately singing into the adoring faces of fans only inches away. The elaborate sets and costumes from “Zoo TV” and “Popmart” were gone. Left behind were the bare essentials, the inspirational music from the four lads from Dublin that’s made them one of the most influential bands of our time. Songs such as “New Year’s Day” and “Where the Streets Have No Name” brought the audience to their feet. Early in the show the crowd heard “Out of Control,” U2’s first single from 1979. An acoustic version of “Please” was also an unex­ pected treat. Gwen Stefani, lead singer of No Doubt (the opening act for the evening), joined the band for a rendition of Marvin Gaye’s classic, “What’s Going On?” Other favorites, such as “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” took (Above) Gwen Stefani of the band No Doubt sangWith U2.

In a further attempt to connect with the audience, a dazed female fan was brought onstage to play guitar for the Curtis Mayfield tune, “People --------Get Ready.” C N E TR V W O C R E IE Tp h* e gnant moment of the show came during the final encore. “Something about the words ‘rock ‘n roll’ and ‘freedom’ feel like the same thing,” said Bono as he held up his index finger, introducing U2’s most powerful song, “One.” During the song, hundreds of Sept. 11 victim’s names appeared on video screens onstage and were projected onto the walls of the arena and the faces of fans; this reminded us that we are all “one, but not the same.” The names surrounded the audience like spirits, and brought many to tears as Bono changed the lyrics on a whole new meaning for the audience and the band in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. During the anti-war anthem, Bono snatched an American flag from the outstretched hand of a fan and cradled it iti his arms like a child. He pressed the flag to his cheek, and then handed it back to the overwhelmed fan, pas­ sionately crooning, “Wipe Your Tears Away.” Bono later told the audience, “Growing up in Ireland, I was not fond of flags. Until a few weeks ago I would not have felt the way I do about that flag either. We are very humble and of the song and sang, “These are my sisters/These are my broth­ ers” The concert ended with the uplifting “Walk On,” a song about prevailing and healing through struggle.

And we’re also starting to think about whether or not we’re really prepared for the real world. The last few weeks, we’ve been applying for jobs so that after graduating this winter, we’ll be able to enter the ranks of professionals. But it turns out that the real world may not be as excited about our bachelors’ degrees as we are. A few individuals in The Pride office want to become journalists. However the jour­ nalism field is telling them that they’re not quite prepared. Their heads are swimming with, “Do you have any real world experi­ ence? Any full-time experience? Have you done anything besides work at a school paper? School papers are just extracurricular activities, you know.” We have our internships, and we joined our clubs. We did whatever we could to create a great resume for the time when we would be ready to step out into the real world. Well, that time’s coming up. Our “extra­ curricular activ­ ities” are looking great on our resumes, but why aren’t we get­ ting hired? Were we not pre­ pared after all? Take our literature and writ­ ing students, for example. We love studying literature. But then we realize that when we have to find some necessary filing job to pay the bills, Chaucer and Nietzche haven’t prepared most of us for the real world. Sure, reciting a fantastic William Blake poem while we serve fries at McDonald’s may comfort us, but will it help us sleep at night? We’re not so sure. So, what’s a college graduate to do? We’re graduating at a time of great economic uncertainty, a time when those who have graduated years before us are being let go so that companies can make ends meet. Many of the jobs we dreamed of while we crammed for finals may be fading away. Are there answers? We guess that perhaps studying more realworld applications would help. Will visiting the Career and Assessment Center really help? Maybe for some of us, we’ll finally learn how to sell our- Ready to Register By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer When students were able to register for the spring semester, many rushed to the bookstore to get a copy of the spring class schedule. But some students only had two days before their registration date to look over the schedule and decide what classes to take. This brought not only con­ troversy, but many discussions between CSUSM students who were disappointed about this disorganization; however, this was not all. While flipping through the schedule’s pages, guess what? The classes that many of us want or need are only offered once, so we need to make ourselves available for those classes and reschedule our personal schedules. The lack of varying class times is unfair for many seniors hoping to gradu­ ate, because if they can’t take the class, this delays their grad­ uation plans; this is the experi­ ence that many CSUSM stu­ dents are going through right now. Not only do we get a small variety of classes, butthey are only offered once, or only have one section. I am in this situa­ tion, and many students I know are also complaining about this fact. This is a popular complaint discussed among CSUSM stu­ dents. I have discussed this with friends, and heard it as a topic of conversation between others in the Dome and in classes. However, this is not a new issue at this university. For almost three years now, since I first came to this campus, I have heard the same complaint from students. Furthermore, there are dif­ ferent classes that are required for a major, but some of those are offered at the same times. This is the case for some Spanish majors, where two classes are offered at the same time, which doesn’t allow students to regis­ ter for both classes. Is this done on purpose? I prefer to believe in the good will of people and hope that it will be fixed soon, facili­ tating students with their regis­ tration process for the upcom­ ing semester. Not only will this facilitate registration, but also the entire CSUSM experience, because trying to register for a class in the beginning of the semester or “crashing” can be a very unpleasant experience for students. I hope that school officials involved in organizing the class schedules take this advice into consideration. They should lis­ ten to students to know their feelings about the current sched­ ule system and listen to stu­ dents’ suggestions; after all, we are the ones paying for and tak­ ing the classes. As a student, I would like to see a change for the better, where not only do we have the opportunity to choose what classes we want to take, but also have an opportunity to choose the times that would work better for us. College life is already hard as it is, and we do not need a new problem to make it worse. Furthermore, an improve­ ment in the schedules would help the students and also the school in general, which may help enrollment and improve the quality of student life. selves to a potential boss. Or we could always take one of those tests at the CAC. Some of the editors took the “what’s-the-best-career-for-you” test our freshman year at Cal State San Marcos. We don’t nec­ essarily trust the results though. Particularly since it turns out that, according to one the test one of the editor’s should have become a nun. Well, at least if she became a nun she’d have free food and room and board. That may be a step ahead of some of us ready to graduate. For the most part, though, the majority of us are opting for graduate school, because the real world is just a bit too uncer­ tain right now.

Services provided by mental health, education, and juvenile justice agencies often have little impact on the down­ ward trajectory of aggressive children” (Timothy A. Cavell, ‘Working with Parents of Aggres­ sive Children’, page 19). I found an effective intervention with exceptionally aggressive ninth graders to be telling these stu­ dents, still in their formative years, the serious consequences of their current behavioral course (“a life of crime and a life in jail”) but was told that saying such things is “taboo in public education.” By the time it is not taboo, it is too late. The con­ sequences affect suburbanites as well as urban communities. Current policies are worse than ineffective. I have found that the vast majority of ninthgrade mathematics students in an urban school cannot do simple addition and subtraction that they were supposed to have learned in grade school. I was told to observe the class of another teacher, held out to me as a model, and found him telling the students he will give them “100 percent credit” if, in solving a LETTER simple equation, they just show him the steps, even if their addi­ tion, subtraction, multiplication and division are wrong, regard­ less of their answers. This is fraud upon the public. I have found that the main reason the students do not know simple addition and subtraction or the steps in solving a simple equation is their refusal to learn, which is part of their aggressive behavior (above). Satish Chandra Maryland Get Involved on Campus By DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writer Did you know there are almost a hundred ways for you to get involved on campus? Cal State San Marcos hosts and spon­ sors student clubs, organizations, honor societies, fraternities and sororities, and the campus com­ munity as a whole, which leaves an entire window of opportunity open for involvement on campus. Not interested? Then get involved in student-based committees. The university makes important decisions involving you, your education, and your campus through means of student-based committees. Both the univer­ sity and Associated Students Inc. sponsor these student/ faculty/administration groups in attempts to get the student voice heard on campus. What if the university want­ ed to increase your tuition pay­ ment by $50? I believe many students would be upset over a student fee increase, don’t you? What about graduation? Do you have a voice or opinion on grad­ uation this year, the next, and the following years to come? Do you have concerns about the ceremo­ ny, the distinguished speakers, or coordination of this sacred event? You probably do. Are you interested in club funding and sponsorship? Did you know there are student funds available to clubs and organizations to help campus climate, academic, and social life here at CSUSM? Committees address a vast array of issues that affect every stu­ dent, every day. The committee serves as a catalyst for all these issues; not by some university executive, but by the undergrad­ uates and faculty that educate you. If commencement prepara­ tions or clubs don’t interest you, there are a variety of other committees to choose from. University committees entail a wide spectrum of campus issues concerning the academic sen­ ate, university student, and glob­ al affairs, and academic plan­ ning and policy. Also, ASI hosts its own committees involved in programming, communications, fundraising, and finance. Now the word “committee” may seem kind of ugly to you. Students regard these commit­ tees as “a lot of work” and “time-consuming.” The biggest reason students give for not get­ ting involved is that they “don’t have enough time for this type of involvement. I have work school, a social life, kids and parents, etc.” These are all legiti­ mate reasons; however, did you know committee membership can be placed and recognized on your transcripts and resumes, give you insight into your own education and the education of those to follow, and serve as an instructional guide to the innerworkings of the university? The committee experience is great for all majors. Whether you’re majoring in business, arts and sciences, or education, the com­ mittee is an excellent way to meet people, gain valuable group skills, and actually make the decisions that govern how we are educated. This involvement is also an excellent networking strategy. The time commitments undergraduates will sacrifice within the committee complete­ ly outweigh the limitations that some students face. It is simple to get involved at CSUSM. First, come to the ASI office (Commons 203) and fill out an application. You will then be given a list of different and dynamic committees to choose from. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call Dustin Naylor, Executive Vice President for ASI at (760) 750-4990. �Students React to “Humanitarian Aid Kills People” Opinion Article Student’s Insight into Issue a Problem To the Editors: In response to the artiele, “Humanitarian Aid Kills People,” written by David Ludwig, I have a few concerns regarding this article’s insight about the under­ lying problem. It seems that the author of this article was clearly influenced by his background in biology, espe­ cially about his assertion regard­ ing population growth and food production. This theory, examined by British economist Thomas Mai-, thus, argued that if unchecked, human population has the natural capacity to expand exponentially, while food production could only be expected to increase at a linear rate. Well, this theory seems to be outdated. , We must look at this type of problem from a cultural perspec­ tive, as noted by John H. Boldley, author of Anthropology and Contemporary Human Problems. Boldley stated that, “It is a mis­ take to assume that natural limits, such as overpopulation, is the pri­ mary cause of hunger. It is the structural aspects of society, par­ ticularly inequalities of wealth and power in cultures* that make food a commercial commodity that the poor cannot afford,” This seems to make more sense than the comparison that Mr. Ludwig made with humans and squir­ rels. So with that in mind, the statement in the article that says “people will starve in greater numbers than would have been possible without the humanitar­ ian aid” is clearly a blind state­ ment that does not address the root of the problem. People do not die because of humanitarian aid, but instead it seems to be because of ruling elite’s stronghold on the food world’s market system. These major corporations make it impossible for the poor to have access to means of basic needs for survival. However, Mr. Ludwig did make one good point that I must agree on which was, “Death is the inevitable reality of life, and it is wrong to think that this can be changed.” I leave you with a quote from Frances Moore Lappe and Joseph Collins, authors of Food First, Beyond the Myth o f Scarcity: “As long as food is something bought and sold in a society with great income differences, the degrees of hunger tells us nothing about the density of the population.” actually export more grains than their imports. And they have the carrying capacity to support their population, not even mentioning that many of the farmlands have not yet developed. The true causes of the hunger in those nations are human-made and can be reversed. It is com­ pletely due to the unequal distri­ bution of agricultural resource in those nations. Also, even though there is plenty of food, there are many people who cannot afford to buy it. Taking African coun­ tries as examples, the elite’s con­ trol good farmlands and other resources to produce money-mak­ Robert Avila ing erops to be exported instead Student of producing food crops for the population need in their coun­ tries. Political and social systems cause hunger for many poor people in those nations. Taking that myth but, we will see that people can re-build their life if the system is right and if they are To the Editors: given the chances. That’s why humanitarian aid will help, not The erroneous conclu­ “kill.” sion drawn by “Humanitarian Aid Kills People” of your Oct. 30 Tina Schenk publication prompts me to write Student this response. Author David J. Lud­ wig’s argument was that the pop­ ulation in poor countries needing c c humanitarian aid is beyond those countries’ carrying capacity. As such, humanitarian aid will now make the population grow arti­ ficially, and when the aid sud­ denly stops there will be more people dying due to the already poor carrying capacity in those countries. The big myth behind his con­ clusion is that the earth can'no longer support the population. To the Editors: The surprising fact is that the world today produces more food In regards to your article, Mr. than humans need. Scarcity is Ludwig, I have a better idea. not the cause of hunger.

Or did you just happen to read a Charles Darwin book or Conclusions in Error Survival of the Fittest” some other science or statistics book, and figure it all out? In your article you said that by us being humanitarians we are only prolonging their suffering. You are wrong. Helping one person can make a difference. Helping many will make a bigger difference. Being a humanitarian does not only mean feeding people. It is a way life concerned with the inter­ ests of all mankind. The truth is that there is enough food to go around. Today the world produces enough grain to provide the entire pop­ ulation with 3,500 calories of energy a day. That’s more cal­ ories Ilian a lot of Americans today wish to consume. (This is just grain products ; there are still plenty' of other foods to be dis­ tributed). Along with the popula­ tion growth, so has the increase in food production grown even more so. Helping people will not kill people. The problem is the people that think like you. The reasons food seems to be so scarce is due to inequality and messed up governments. A lot of times it is more profitable for countries to export their edibles than to share them amongst their people. It is always the poor that seem to suffer so much. And it is sad that these people who help produce the food are the same people who lack it. Mr. Ludwig is right about the population increase. Something must be done, but “tough love” is not the answer. The answer is education and basic human rights. James J. Simmonds Student Student Holds O ut­ dated Belief To the Editors: Personally, I disagree with the article regarding the potential devastation caused from human­ itarian aid, as such a belief is based on an outdated Malthusian naturalistic dilemma. The belief that, in a natu­ rally occurring society, popula­ tion levels will grow to such large numbers that food produc­ tion deficiencies will lead to death from starvation is a rational yet archaic notion. A more contem­ porary approach should focus on the understanding that we live in a commercially-driven world where particular cultures increase food production for profit, by the use of fertilizer, pesticide use, etc. To illustrate this point, an article printed in Food First, the institute for food and develop­ ment policy, claims that, “many of the countries where hunger is rampant export more in agricul­ tural goods than they import’’ Therefore, such faminerinduced countries (i.e. Africa, Brazil, India* etc.) export more agricul­ turally harvested goods than they import which proves that scarcity is not the cause of starvation. So, you may then ask what is the cause of malnutrition, human­ itarian dependence, and/or star­ vation? Well, it’s simple; causes of hunger are from inequality and an ineffective democracy. Social and economic inequalities interfere with the inability for individuals to feed themselves. Economic inequalities include the desire to increase food pro­ duction, thus supporting both political elites and commerciallydriven market forces while ensur­ ing famine. Altruistic policy methods are established by these political elites in which knowl­ edge is shared at their costs, while coincidently increasing agricul­ tural production (i.e. govemmentally controlled USAID). Secondly, an example of social inequalities may be the increase of birth rates by restrict­ ing women’s rights. For instance, such countries that have managed to lower their birth rates include those that have established wom­ en’s rights and, coincidently, better access to education and health care. Therefore, humans are not like the so-called squir­ rels you compared us to, in that we have the ability to change using such knowledge. Moreover, since we live in a world where food is a commodity, scarcity is not, nor will be, the issue; rather it is inequalities of social power and food production limitations in hunger-stricken countries that needs to be assessed.

To the Editors: I am grieved. Grieved in the very pit of my being because of what is before me. Grieved because ! live in a world where tragedy occurs, but more because I live in a world where we don’t consider the cause of the destruc­ tion. We look superficially at what seems to be the cause, always with a pointed finger and a haughty attitude. Why don’t we consider it inwardly with the finger pointed back at us? What is the cause of all of this destruction? I am not only talking about Sept. 11, but also the death that occurs every­ day. We send our children to school hoping they will be safe; it can no longer be an expecta­ tion. We send our children to school hoping they will choose to wait until marriage to have sex; it can no longer be expected, and in fact they are given condoms and instructions on safe sex. We have killed an entire gen­ eration of babies calling it our right. Why? Do we not expect to be treated the same? Do we not have any respect for life? Why do we live in a society where a price of an egg can reach $4,000, but the price of an abortion is free to most? Where did the problem begin? We are all guilty, all of us. If we have not partaken in one of these acts we have done some­ thing else against our neighbor. As a country that was founded as one nation under God, we have been blessed. Now we see how much we need his Grace, his undeserved favor. We have been pushing him out of our lives, our homes, our work places and our schools for the last 40 years. Sept. 11 is an example of what happens when a loving God takes his hand from us for forty minutes. You may see this as Gods judgment.. You may ask yourself how could a loving God allow this to happen? I say that is exactly why he allowed this to happen. He is a loving God. What happened on the 11th is a travesty of the most heinous kind. It happened because we live in a world that has the abil­ ity to choose between good and evil, right and wrong. Osama bin Laden chooses evil and we chose wrong. We were wrong when we shoved the name of God, which is Jesus, out of our schools, homes, and lives. The God of the Bible promises that if we repent and turn our hearts back to him, he will rise up and protect us. If we will return to him he will make his enemies perish. He says you are either for him, or against him. God did not make this happen, but he allowed it to happen. In his mercy he pre­ vented the rest of the terrorists’ plan to fail. It is my hope that all men know the love of God, and recognize this as a very loud knock. How loud and how long are we going to make him knock before we let him back into the heart of our nation? TristaMoon CSUSM Student Word Choice in Poor Taste Staff Letter Dear Editors: Referencing the article “Amputate President Gonzalez” in the Oct. 23 issue of The Pride, I understand the author’s point of view but the use of the word “Amputate” was in poor taste and is very inappropriate in this case. In today’s jittery and uneasy environment with the anthrax scare and all, one should be careful in his/her use of words, especially those that sound threat­ ening. Remember Ms. Braun’s (San Diego Unified School District) threatening comments towards a couple of board mem­ bers? I’m no scholastic, but the word amputate means to severe or to cut, as in amputate a limb. Amputation could very well cause someone serious physical harm. I believe there are better choices of words which are equally effec­ tive to prove a point. Don Soriano Facility Services Staff �Cross Country Ends Season at National Championships SCOREBOARD By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor The men’s cross country team ends the fall season by placing fif­ teenth at NAIA National Cham­ pionships. The NAIA National Cham­ pionships were in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Twenty-eight teams participated in an 8-kilometer race on November 17. Out of the seven San Marcos athletes, only one returned from last year. Throughout the season the Cougar men, led by fresh­ man Rene “Billy” Reyes, were at least 25 seconds away from each other. “It was my best year ever, we ran as a team and we qualify as a team,” said Reyes. Reyes hopes to be an All-American.
