On the night of Feb. 23, her son, along with three other pedestrians, was killed after being run down by an 18-year-old male suspected of driving under the influence. Divis, a sophomore at UCSB and a graduate of Rancho Buena Vista High School, was 20 years old. Though his life may have been brief, he affected people in a way that will not be forgotten. "I had him in my class for all four years," said Jim Livingston, a German teacher at RBVHS. Livingston recalled Divis as "a very good student in class...a questioner." Livingston added, "It breaks your heart. You always think that your students will outlive you and you never think of the other possibility." Many relatives, long-time friends, acquaintances and teachers attended a memorial service for Divis, Tield at the Oceanside Harbor on Friday, March 2. The mood was somber, with tears and laughter, as people shared their favorite memories of Divis. Pictures, artwork and flowers adorned the beach memorial while a harpist played and sang to the crowd. Friends and family thanked the crowd for all of their support and for cherishing Divis' memory. The three other victims were Nicholas Shaw Bourdakis, 20, UCSB student; Ruth Dasha Golda Levy, 20, a Santa Barbara City College student; and Elie Israel, 27, of San Francisco.

The Festival String Quartet's program is part of the "Classical Women's Series," sponsored by the Spring Arts & Lecture Series. Although the concert was planned in part to celebrate women's achievements, University Arts & Lecture Coordinator Bonnie Biggs said, "We make a point of featuring women artists and scholars all year long, not just in March. Our student body is between 65 and 70 percent female, and we have one of the most diverse faculty gender-wise in the CSU system." Biggs mentioned there had been numerous requests to have a quartet perform at Cal State San Marcos, and she was very pleased to host the concert. The Festival String Quartet's two-hour performance featured pieces from the Romantic and Classical periods, including quartets by Joseph Haydn, Dmitri Shostakovich and W.A. Mozart. Viola player Mary Gerard introduced each piece to the audience, and the quartet demonstrated different .notes and specific combinations distinctive to each composer. She also shared personal anecdotes about the composers and spoke about the social and political issues that influenced the music composed during the Classical and Romantic Eras.

Gerard urged the audience to "experience the tragedy of human existence," and to listen with an open ear. "Haydn, and Mozart especially, capture the feel, spirit and smell of all the ages," she said, "and this is the thread that knits together the music we will perform for you tonight." In 1971, violinist Mary Karo founded what was originally the Festival String Trio, which has grown to include second violinist Robie Evans and cellist Jennifer Holson. All four women have played professionally for organizations that include the San Diego Opera, the San Diego Symphony, the San Diego Chamber Orchestra, the Starlight Opera and the San Diego Comic Opera. Performing at Cal State San Marcos was important for the quartet because the advent of the all-woman quartet is a very recent one. "If you look at professional quartets, most of them have been men; all the principle quartets have been men," Holson said. "It's great to play with all women and with friends/* Campus Isfews Local News One StMfenfi Concern Over Construction SiteRunoff Opinion Article Page 11 Opinion This Paper �Tim Bills Is the New Assistant Dean of Students By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer Students wanting to withdraw from Cal State San Marcos will first have to get past Tim Bills. CSUSM's new Assistant Dean of Students is serious about keeping students in school. "I think I can have a very positive impact on a student who is considering withdrawing from the university. I'm one of the first stops in that process." Bills describes himself as "a bluercollar, roll up my sleeves, not necessarily high profile kind of person." Making the recent transition from his position as associate director of GEAR-UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) at Grant Middle School in Escondido to that of Assistant Dean of Students, Bills explains that "the impact of these outreach programs is a little bigger here than at other schools because we're such a new university and don't have in place a lot of the things that have been proven to increase retention of students." "Students who live on campus at least their first year are much more likely to be retained due to developing support groups, establishing autonomy with parents," says Bills. "Some of those things are not built into the CSUSM experience, so these programs are very critical to establish a balance of challenge and support, without creating stagnancy." Rather than seeing this new position as a shift in his career, Bills feels that being the assistant dean is something for which his previous work has been preparatory. "With more than 10 years of experience in various aspects of student development, in many ways I'm in my element here," explains Bills. "This position pulls together a lot of the responsibilities that I have been preparing for in my educational background as well as in my experiential background. Since 1986, I've been working in Residential Life, Orientation, College Success Programs, and Greek Life." Hired on Jan. 13 as Assistant Dean of Students, Bills began working immediately on putting together a proposal for activities surrounding the upcoming Cesar Chavez holiday; a program he hopes will see participation from all areas of the campus community. "For someone who has spent their entire professional life on a college campus, this is a unique opportunity to s£e a community develop," says Bills. >>Article cont. on page 8 Professor Survives 7.6 Earthquake Glub S upport Brings D onations to Salvadorian S tudents By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor Dr. Rosario Diaz-Greenberg didn't expect to survive an earthquake or to watch the devastation of her homeland when she returned to El Salvador in January. A CSUSM professor for the College of Education, Diaz-Greenberg teaches Education for Cultural Diversity. Over the winter break, she had returned home to El Salvador to teach "Curriculum Design and Implementation" to 25 members of the National Curriculum Writing Unit who are in charge of developing and writing the curriculum for the country. She had planned to return home on January 17, but the earthquake caused damage to the airport and her return flight was canceled until the airport reopened on January 24. At 11:30 am on Jan. 13, an earthquake toppled part of "La Cordillera del Balsamo" (the Balsam Mountain), in Santa Tecla, killing over eight hundred people. The housing development where the people died is called "Las Colinas," which means hills, according to Diaz-Greenberg. A 7.6 on the Richter scale, the earthquake lasted for 45 seconds. Since Fransisca Vides, age 68, sits observing the destruction in Santa Maria Ostuma, La Paz. Many people were affected by the Feb. 13 earthquake in El Salvador (www.elsalvador.com/Courtesy Photo) that day, there have been more than 2,000 aftershocks. Because of repeated aftershocks, structural damage to the buildings continues. El Salvador is the smallest nation in Central America, but also the most densely populated. Only 21,000 kilometers long, El Salvador has close to six million people within its borders. It is the same size as the San Diego and Imperial counties put together, or the size of the state of Massachusetts. El Salvador's National Emergency Committee reports that 283 people have died; 2,937 people have been injured; 173,356 people have been affected; and 32,148 homes have been destroyed. On Feb. 13, at 8:22 am, a second large earthquake hit with a 6.6 on the Richter scale. Over 1,566 schools were damaged or destroyed, and more than 1.5 million students were affected. The Candelari^ Elementary School fell with the second earthquake. Many students died during the earthquake. Ann Elizabeth De Chicas, the kindergarten teacher at the school, succeeded in helping most of her class out of the building before she was killed by a collapsing wall. Six children remained in the classroom where De Chicas died, and only one boy survived. Tobins Navidad, a boy who was late to school because he had to guide his blind grandfather to his aunt's house that morning, watched his teacher and best friend die in the collapse of his school. Dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, he calmly explained in Spanish how "some of my friends, a beam fell on their head." , According to Greenberg, 19 students died at Candelaria, including Tobias' kindergarten class. Greenberg noted that physically, most of the children are unharmed, but "mentally and emotionally, the earthquake was a horrible ordeal." The cost of the repairs for all of the schools is over $28 million in U.S. dollars. "Even though the government would like to give priority to schools, at this point there is not enough food or water for the almost two million people who were affected," said DiazGreenberg. »Article cont on page 8 C SUSM Participates in College Awareness M onth By: Amber Zinsky Pride Staff Writer ship.

The workshop also Barbara. The web site reported that classmates said Attias "seemed disturbed and has acted strangely in recent months." Lieutenant Michael Burridge, Public Information Officer for the Santa Barbara Police Department, said, "We do not believe that the suspect knew any of the victims." A California Highway Patrol report included details of how "five victims were thrown forward, some being knocked out of their shoes and socks." No motive for the incident is known at this time. "The California Highway Patrol estimated that he was going 55 to 60 mph, much faster than the 25 mph posted speed limit," Burridge said. He also said that a full blood panel test would be returned sometime next week. This test will reveal the level of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both that may have been in Attias's body. The Daily Nexus reported that "Attias is being charged with four counts of murder, four counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, and five counts of felony driving under the influence with injuries." His arraignment is scheduled for March 6. Dr. Miriam Schustack, acting dean for the College of Arts & Sciences, is asking the college community to offer Sally Divis and her family "sympathy, support and prayers." Dr. Schustack also urged students to visit the Counseling and Psychological Services if they are "in distress over this loss to Sally," and faculty and staff can call the Employee Assistance Program at 1-800-342-8111. Christopher Divis, one of the UCSB students that was killed by a suspected DUI driver. (NBC7/Courtesy Photo) Students Mourn Loss of Divis included basic motions, voting and formal meeting procedures. Many clubs announced their upcoming events, including Circle K International's El Salvador school-supply drive, the Future Educators Club's plans for a Teacher's Fair, the Peer Education and Support programs (PEAS) plans of hosting a Health Fair and other workshops, and the PreLaw Society's plans for a Future Lawyer's Day. Old business was discussed, including scheduled events for Women's Herstory Month for March and plans for a week-long Cesar Chavez celebration. With the hope that more clubs will attend all ICC meetings and become more involved, the new business of the afternoon was the discussion of the possibility of establishing a President's Council in place of the Inter-Club Committee for fall 2001. Brad Schmidt, Club Services Technician, said that some ICC representatives may not report back to their clubs and the ICC meeting information may not get back to all the club members. Some club members argued that it was too much to ask for all the club presidents to come to monthly meetings; they said that the clubs' designated representatives should be enough. To encourage clubs to attend to the ICC meetings, ICC now has a raffle for a $5 discount from the coffee cart. Clubs that attend all ICC meetings will receive a table, free-of-charge, at the Annual Club Recognition Night scheduled for May. I.C.C meetings are held every other Friday.

Bush, in a nationally televised speech to the joint session of Congress, unveiled his new budget plan, including a $1.6 trillion dollar tax cut. Bush began with jokes about the close presidential race, then outlined changes in education, focusing on literacy, Social Security reform, new restraints on federal spending, the restructuring of Medicare and his proposed $1.6 trillion dollar tax cut over the next 10 years. "Let the American people spend their own money to meet their own needs," said Bush. Bush wants to boost the economy with tax cuts based on a projected government surplus over the next 10 years. "The surplus is not the government's money," Bush said, "the surplus is the people's money." He said that by concentrating on giving back to the taxpayers, people would have more money, spend more, and consume more, and stimulate the economy. "The people of America have been overcharged, and on their behalf I'm here asking for a refund," said Bush. This was one of many statements that brought standing ovations and some 85 pauses for applause. Not everyone readily accepted his plans. "If what the president said tonight sounds too good to be true, it probably is," said House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Missouri. Democratic opponents to — The Pride Congressman Ron Packard Helps Donate to National Latino Research Center Democratic opponents to Bush's plan say the budget surplus is a projected number, and they are wary of hasty decisions.

"Since starting the center, we have had several congressional representatives come through the center wanting to help," said Soriano. "Even before coming to San Marcos we developed a proposal for congressional funding, which we provided to President Gonzalez who then presented it to Congressman Ron Packard. Congressman Packard wanted to help the University and saw the congressional appropriation as a way of doing so. The rest is history." As Director of the NLRC, Soriano helps develop new initiatives that support the center. Soriano, who also oversees the functions and various divisions of the center, says the research center is expected to grow over the next several years. Currently there are several job openings available to students interested in research, one of which is the hiring of a research coordinator. Students may opt for a paid position or academic credit. An open house is scheduled for March 15, from 3:30-5:30pm. Students that wish to apply can go to the NLRC located at City Hall near the Old Spaghetti Factory in San Marcos. A new website for the center is also under construction to provide a newsletter for students and researchers on the center. The current web site is www.csusm.edu/ nlrc. Li-Young Lee Stages Poetry for Carlsbad Audience • By: Jayne Braman Pride Grad Intern "I think that all art, all true art, provides a very specific service and that service is the service of disillusionment. If it adds to our illusion, then it's not art... If it takes away our illusion in order to uncover sacred reality, which is better off to me, then it's art," said nationally-renown poet, Li-Young Lee. He continued, "Art clears you so that you have no more illusions, you see reality, but reality is so big, so mysterious and manifold, and scary, and beyond understanding that sometimes we would rather have the illusion. In this way, all art is apocalypse; the moment you put your pen to a paper, it's apocalyptic, something is revealed. It is my hunger for reality that makes me write poetry." Award-winning poet, Li-Young Lee, educated and enthused an audience at the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Center on Friday, March 2. Lee read requested selections of his published poetry, and then he treated his audience to selections from his yet unpublished book of lullabies.

Napster Inc. stated that it would officially begin screening copyrighted materials from being traded on its server. The Court of Appeals' revision is only a modification of the original injunction that would force Napster to shut down all free "peer-to-peer" sharing of music files. The injunction is one of several landmark events that have transpired within the music-sharing controversy. Last month, Napster had proposed to pay $1 billion dollars in licensing fees to the major recording labels and charge its users membership fees, but the Recording Industry Association of America promptly turned down the offer. Under the proposed business model, Napster would have paid $150 million dollars per year to BMG, Sony, Universal, EMI, Warner and $50 million to smaller independent recording firms. The amount paid to each company would be relative to the amount of songs traded under the Napster server.

But charging membership fees and screening song titles are not the only alternatives available to avid traders of MP3s and music files over the Internet. Alternate servers and web sites are readily available, whether or not Napster shuts down or begins charging its members. When students were asked about the idea of paying a membership fees for Napster, several Cal State San Marcos students had mixed reactions. When asked about the possibility of paying a membership fee for Napster services sophomore student and Computer Science major Chaflermyod Sakulterdkiat said, "No one will pay for mp3s. If Napster starts charging, people will look for another web site to get mp3s. Originally MP3s were free and people won't pay for music they could get elsewhere " Whether the Napster community is forced to stop trading music files or a service fee is eventually charged, there will always be different methods of electronically sharing MP3s.

If you have ever been to the local north county beaches, such as Stone Steps and Beacons in Leucadia, you have probably seen the intricate sand art of the Circle Man. A resident of Leucadia for over thirty years, Vanallyn has been performing his sand art for the last four years. He used to contrive most of his work at Beacons, but because of the loss of beach sand, Vanallyn had to move to Stone Steps Beach. When asked why he chose sand art as his means for expression, Vanallyn said, "I love to be in nature and this is a great way to interact with people.. .the children love it." Vanallyn believes in what he calls sacred geometry, the idea that all things have a natural harmony and interconnectedness. He works from a central contour and then builds off each consecutive outline to form the final piece. "I enjoy the meditative ritual The Pride Arts & Entertainment By: Angela Oesterle Pride Staff Writer Kirk Vanallyn does geometric art on the beach. (Cristine Averill/Pride Photo) of perfecting the designs and feeling how the shapes fit together," said Vanallyn. He uses an "artistrial compass," a tool that he made from an old cross-country machine and other spare parts. He also controls the burm (perimeter) of the lines with a stylus and uses different rake heads to create a variety of lines and shapes. On one occasion, Vanallyn started his piece before sunrise, using headlamps, which only provided minimal light. When the sun finally peaked over the horizon he had completed a gigantesque labyrinth in the sand. Vanallyn has also done largescale artwork for the Golden Door and Rancho La Puerta, where, for their sixty-year celebration, CSUSM welcomed acclaimed poet and author Marge Piercy on Monday, February 26. After minor technical difficulties, Piercy delivered her poetry to the diverse crowd of literature and writing majors, women studies students and interested individuals gathered in ACD 102. Piercy's visit to the campus was the second stop on her busy 2001 calendar and proved to be a memorable one. After raving introductions from Sociology professor Dr. Sharon Elise and Creative Writing professor Brandon Cesmat, Piercy began her reading with a poem from her collection, The Moon is Always Female. "This is aimed to any of you that are apprenticing in the he decorated their Olympic-size arts," said Piercy. soccer field with 2700 pounds of During the hour-long poetry gravel.

After the reading, Piercy answered questions such as how she chooses poetry for the places she visits. She responded, "Poems for. college students would address various age groups from about nineteen and up." Piercy, who has published more than a dozen poetry books and novels, began writing when she was 15 years old. Although Piercy has published several of her works, she found that being recognized in the literary field was difficult, especially since she was woman. Then in 1980 she emerged with a book of poetry, The Moon is Always Female. Since the publication of that collection of poems, Piercy has not stopped creating remarkable works of fiction and poetry. Marge Piercy's next poetry reading will be March 23 at the University of Arizona in TUcson.

Zapatistas on the Move: Film Presented bv M EChA By: Nathan Fields Feature Editor More than thirty students were transported to the mountains of the Mexican southeast Wednesday and Thursday nighte when MEChA presented Zapatista/. This film documents the struggle of the indigenous people in the Mexican state of Chiapas for government recognition and land rights. MEChA chose to show the film twice; Wednesdays' showing was for Spanish speakers, and Thursday's was for English. With its well-respected celebrity figures, hip-hop beats and crisp and colorfully vibrant cinematography, the film wields a hard-hitting and captivating modern edge. The film features narration from Mumia Abu-Jamal, Edward James Olmos, Geronimo Pratt, Zach de la Rocha, and interviews with Medea Benjamin, Noam Chomsky, Subcomandante Marcos and various leaders of the revolutionary army. "Without land, they can only sell their labor anymore;" said Zach de la Rocha, lead singer of Rage Against the Machine referring to the marginalization of Mexico's indigenous population. The Zapatistas, taking their name from the hero of the Mexican revolution, Emiliano Zapata, are a revolutionary army composed of Mexican Indians. They have been training in the jungles of southern Mexico for over three decades before rising up and speaking out against the neo-liberal policies of the Mexican government which turned over indigenous lands to private, and sometimes foreign companies. Ricardo Favela, president of MEChA, explained that the group chose to show the film now in order to support an extensive march to Mexico City begun last week by the Zapatistas to lobby Mexico's Congress for the passage of an indigenous rights bill that seeks to protect the rights of Mexico's various Indian populations. The march, attended by the top leaders of the Zapatista army, marks the first time these officials have left the state of Chiapas since the uprising in opposition to NAFTA and the Mexican government on January 1, 1994. By allowing multinational corporations to take advantage of Mexico's impoverished and large labor force, NAFTA may be increasing the poverty of the marginalized poor in Mexico. For the Zapatistas, there is the hope that the new PAN government, under Mexican president Vicente Fox, will be more receptive to the Zapatistas than the previous PRI party, which held power for more than 70 years. The film was preceded by a short discussion about Emiliano Zapata, and followed by an energetic bilingual discussion on topics ranging from international politics and economics to reforming the governments both north and south of the U.S.-Mexican border. "With so much corruption in the Mexican government on all levels, what can we do about this? What can be done?" asked Guadalupe Canseco, a Spanish Literature Major and native of Southern Mexico. "In Mexico, people see the Indians, yes, as part of our roots, as part of our history, but they see them as less than us. We want Mexico to be this more modern nation instead of embracing them." Despite much popular international support of the Zapatistas since their uprising in 1994, international political response has focused on economic implications of the human rights movement. U.S. government and business officials responded by urging the Mexican government to eradicate the Zapatista communities in order to preserve the country's economic credibility. More than half of Mexico's army and various bands of pro-government para-military groups now surround the communities. The Mexican Government, Subcomandante Marcos (Big Noise/Courtesy Photo) according to Noam Chomsky, finds itself facing communities with more highly developed forms of democracy in place and a revolutionary army that acts defensively, with passive resistance. The film reports that the Zapatistas haven't fired a shot since Dec 12, 1994. "We don't want to overthrow the government and put ourselves in its place," asserted Subcomandante Marcos, the first leader of the revolutionary army, "we want to create and open space for democracy and dialogue." The rebels left Chiapas Feb. 25 and will travel through nine states before reaching the capital on March 6. They expect to be joined by sympathizers along the way; the rebels will march in the ski masks that have become their movement's symbol. �Steal This Movie: The Only Film that Can Declare "Sacred Cow Makes the Best Hamburger." By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor. "Once you have their attention, they never, ever forget you," announced actor Vincent D'Onfrio while starring as Abbie Hoffman. From the All-American Jimi Hendrix song in the opening credits to the end at Hoffman's suicide, the newly released rental Steal This Movie dares to piece together the jagged edges of Hoffman's life. A revolutionary leftist leader in the 1960s, Hoffman and the Chicago Seven shook up America m protest of the Vietnam War. Beginning in 1977 with Hoffman pitching his story to a reporter, Steal This Movie sends the viewer down a strange trip through time. Most of the film is a flashback, yet the editing remains flawless in transitioning between the different times. D'Onfrio captures the personal side of Hoffman but loses some of the zeal in public. Yet, his acting is stunning the second half of the film as Hoffman begins to lose control of his manic depression. Director Robert Greenwald credited Abbie and Anita Hoffman as the writers of Steal This Movie and, indeed, the film carries the emphasis of many exact quotes from moments in Hoffman's life. Somewhat Casablanca-like in its approach, the viewer gets a rare treat of romance, intrigue, scandal, politics and true history wrapped into one real-life revolutionary figure. The film takes a slanted look through the eyes of Anita and others in his life as they proceed to tell a reporter their version of the true Abbie Hoffman. The film is also based off of Marty Jezer's novel, Abbie Hoffman: American Rebel. Both the film and the novel claim Hoffman as "one of the most inventive community organizers in American History." Anita, played by Janeane Garafalo, was Hoffman's wife and mother to his one child, America. Although she is incredible in every role she takes on, playing Anita has brought new merit to Garafalo's acting career. Much like Meg Ryan did for Pamela Morrison in Oliver Stone's film The Doors, Garafalo seizes her opportunity to show to the world, not only the courage and strength but also the individuality of the wife of a controversial man in the spotlight. Although Steal This Movie frames the events of 1960s and '70s around Abbie Hoffman, the the film doesn't leave enough room for his charm, and his great presence on screen distracts from the focus upon Hoffman (D'Onfrio). Rubin was a journalist before helping to lead many of the riots alongside Hoffman. Often described as the P.T. Barnum of the Revolution by media, Rubin was a master at manipulating media attention. He often pulled ingenious and obnoxious antics, such as tossing money from the balcony of the New York Stock draft. Rubin died in 1994 after being hit by a car while jaywalking. In addition to the disappointing directorial choice, another disappointment of the film is the dismissal of Hoffman's ties to the Black Panthers. One of the Chicago Seven, Bobby Seale was one of the major leaders of the Black Panthers and was the only one ball-gagged and tied down during the trial. Although the film never explores the connections between the two radical Vincent D'Onfrio (playing Abbie), Janeane Garafalo (playing Anita) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (playing Johanna), all stars in thefilm,Steal This Movie. (www.imdb.com/CourtesyPhoto) Chicago Seven made their impact together. Each of the members was a powerful key player in the protests of this ,time. Disappointingly, through directorial choice, the film loses touch with the relationships between the seven. Leaving the viewer wanting to know more about why Jerry Rubin and Hoffman went from good friends to bitter enemies, too many gaps are left for us to be able to fill in the spaces. Kevin Cofrigan, best known as Eliot in 1998's Slums of Beverly Hills, play Jerry Rubin. Corrigan is witty, charming and just a fantastic actor. The problem is that Exchange. Although what he and Hoffman did was only considered a prank, their point was driven home when the stockbrokers scrambled to gather as much of the money as they could. The point? Greed drives our commercial culture. The film shoots through the point of view of news broadcast to bring this image to life. The effect manages to clarify the absurdity of the prank, stockbrokers and media. The real Rubin had a cameo role in the 1989 hit, Rude Awakenings, about two hippies that come back from the woods after twenty years of dodging the groups, the viewer learns that Hoffman generously donates all the profits from his novel, Steal This Book, to the Black Panther Party. The Chicago Seven were arrested in 1968 for disrupting the Democratic National Convention by inciting a riot. On film, the famous trial for the riot in 1968 of the Chicago Seven in 1970 takes place exactly as it did in the real world. Almost word for word, Hoffman delivers his speech, but the most eloquent prose from Hayden and Rubin are edited and drowned out by the movie soundtrack written by Mader. Released during the Democratic Convention of 2000, timing of the film's release could not have been more perfect. Last summer the Democratic Convention watched rioters tear apart the streets of Los Angeles, Abbie Hoffmann style. Music, partying and chants survived despite continual attacks from police. The beauty of the film is how D'Onfrio stops addressing the courtroom scene actors when giving his final speech about youth and revolution, but shifts his focus to the camera's eye, attempting to reach out to the unseen and unknown viewers. The film's final message ties into a quote from Hoffman to young people in every generation, "Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit" , Before nis suicide in 1989, Hoffman was known for his quick wit and one-liners, such as "Sacred cow makes the best hamburger." The film tries to show that as his depression took over his life, the zealous Hoffman was soon lost in the violent paranoia of a manic-depressive. Yet, Anita suggests and proves by the end of the film, that Hoffman had good reason for his fright. When Hoffman resurfaced after five years of hiding, the wear and tear of running from the F.B.I, showed greatly upon him. Still, he managed to continue spreading his message until the end of his life. Although Hoffman declared, "no one can imagine any of this unless they've lived it," Steal This Movie allows for a more insightful glimpse into the Yippie (Youth International Party) Movement and the counter-culture revolutionary movement of the 1960s. The film is rated R by MPAA and is 107 minutes long and available for rental at most video stores. An Intimate Evening with Gregory Page By: Tim Farmer Pride Staff Writer "This is how music was meant to be played. Friends sitting around in a living room, no amplifiers, no noisy coffee makers^ just music," said Gregory Page while singing in the home of local poet, Lizzie Wann. As part of the Meeting Grace concert series on Thursday, February 15, guitarist Gregory Page played a flawless acoustical performance for an audienge of thirty-five. The first highlight of the evening was his performance of "Goodnight, Saturday Night," a comical song about a Saturday night in which he gets drunk and getslaid(byahooker)andreminisces about his ex-girlfriend, who is now a lesbian because of him. The second highlight was when Page granted my personal song requiest, "Diamonds and Gold." Between every song, Page told humorous and interesting anecdotes. Page explained how he came to San Diego from London in 1976, when he was 16, and that he used to play classical guitar. He broke out the nylon string classical guitar and played a piece he used to perform for his family in their living room while he was growing up. Page's classical roots were evident when he played "Kensington Rag," a very melodic instrumental song that he wrote while sitting in Kensington Park. "How You Came To Me" was a song about Page finding his long lost father over the Internet and their very first encounter. "Roses in the Sand" was written by Page and Sally Taylor, the daughter of legendary folk musician, James Taylor. James Taylor had asked Sally to cover one of Page's songs in a concert; Page told the audience that he was flattered that a great musician, such as James Taylor, even thought of him. Before playing "Walking in the Park," Page informed us that the song was downloaded over 20,000 times on the local based web site, MP3, for Valentine's Day. During intermission, the audience ate homemade brownies and cookies in Lizzie Wann's kitchen and rubbed elbows with G r e g o r y p a g e Page, asking him questions about his start in San Diego. While his performance was fantastic, the most amazing thing about Gregory Page was his Gregory Page is a local musician. He often performs for Meeting Grace Concert Series.

Dean of Students »Article cont. from pg 2 He adds, "That's just very exciting to me. There's so much opportunity for student life to really define itself when the university is so young." Bills felt drawn to San Diego for. some time. "I grew up on a 100-acre farm in Oil City, Pennsylvania, not far from where the first oil well was discovered in this country. I am a first generation college student. My dad graduated high school and worked in the coal industry. My mom didn't graduate high school. I was the first in my family to go to college, and have inspired my bothers and sister to do so. I feel a kinship with students who are first generation college students, and I want to support them in getting the most out of their college experiences." He came to Cal State San Marcos in the fall of 1998. "I initially came here to be the coordinator of orientation and Greek affairs here on campus. I thought it would be a great way to help develop the campus community at CSUSM." As Assistant Dean of Students, Bills is responsible for enforcing student disciplinary "I feel a sense of achievement with this new position. This is a position p rocedures.

He will soon be instructing a course for developing academic skills and personal management for university success for incoming students. "I am here for students to turn to in order to make full use of what we have here both on a personal basis and on an organizational basis. I am looking at much more than a student's in-class experience and academic success. I am concerned with a student's total experience and personal development, and in helping shape that environment and those experiences." Bills' own unique college experiences greatly determined his career in institutional academics. "I took computer science for two years and did very well, but it was a major that would get me a job, and I realized I needed to find a major that fit who I was. So I made a very conscious decision to be a psych major, though I'd never taken any psychology courses. And later, I made a conscious decision to work on college campuses." Bills encourages every student to take the time in school to consider what they really want out of their college experience. With his master's degree in College Student Personnel, Bills explains, "I was preparing directly for student development and student affairs.

Asked what his plans for the next few years might be, Bills spoke immediately of completing his Ph.D. "Working on my dissertation in higher education has probably been the biggest frustration of my life, to tell you the truth. I was the type of doctoral student who extended himself too far, and I left my doctoral program before I completed it, which everyone will tell you not to do. Don't leave before you're finished. But this position is one that really motivates me to complete my Ph.D. The more professionals we have here on campus, the more academic an environment it can become and the more partnerships that can be initiated." He hopes to schedule time this summer to work on his dissertation. Focused and diligent in this new position, soft-spokeil Bills also speaks fondly of his home life on a mountainside in Ramona with his wife and 5-month-old son. Bills is also the legal guardian of his 19-year-old brother, ja senior in high school, and says laughingly, "I'm sure he'll be going to college, maybe even Cal State San Marcos."

In the federal grant, Biggs' proposal goes a step further and attempts to establish CSUSM as a research and training center for San Diego county Native American tribes. The proposed center would be a place where tribal leaders could seek out and create an open exchange among professional linguists, anthropologists and librarians that work on campus. She believes that the state grant will be approved sometime towards the end of March; however, the federal grant is still in the processing stage and final acceptance is pending. Another aspect of Biggs' proposals is to facilitate the integration of technology within the libraries. She hopes to get com- puters with Internet access for children at the reservations since most of them attend schools off of the reservation and have no place to study and research when they come home. Biggs hopes that the computer technology will develop simultaneously with the reorganization of tribal libraries.

Some web sites are intended to promote the sale of a product, some intend to be entertaining, and some are artistic self-expressions. The intent of some web sites, such as www.bonsaikitten.com, however, is not immediately obvious. Bonsai Kitten contains background on the art of Bonsai and explains the application of Bonsai on kittens. The site goes into some detail explaining the process and the different shape jars in which to mold the kitten. Photographs of the process are also contained on the Gallery page. More careful evaluation of the Bonsai Kitten site reveals that it is all a parody. The pictures do not include any "final" versions of the supposed Bonsai animal shaping, nor does the page purport to sell the paraphernalia. There are no prices or means of ordering. The site is intended to amuse and irritate people, and from the letters posted on the guest book, it certainly does an effective job. Whether or not the Bonsai Kitten web site was intended to test the limits of freedom of speech is unclear; nevertheless, that is what is happening. According to the Electronic Freedom Foundation, www.eff.org, "The 'Bonsai Kitten' parody site that lampoons hypersensitivity gets bitten by precisely that—FBI launches bogus criminal investigation and attacks parodist's anonymity, while multiple organizations attack the satirists' Internet access in a startling display of hysteria, intolerance and lack of sense of humor." The Internet provides an opportunity for free speech. Today anyone can publish a web page and use it for just about anything. The outcome of government investigations of sites such as Bonsai Kitten, and people calling for legal action against such sites, will have important effects on free speech on the Internet.

Here you see people living in such poverty that the tattered and worn clothes they wear are among their most prized possessions. They struggle to find food of any kind. They rarely look towards the volcano, for a moment of distraction may result in a wave throwing them into the sea. Looking just past the sea-spray soaked soil, you see a group of people that manage to barely feed and clothe themselves. They toil every day to just survive. They possess very few personal items. Occasionally, these people find the strength to wonder what it must be like to live where the thunderous surf cannot be heard. Walking inland you see people that feed and clothe their families. Shelters are built to keep the spring rains off their heads. You walk along the poorly maintained roads, peering into the faces of children that know sorrow. Walking on further, you encounter a group of people that appear fairly well nourished. Their houses are built of sturdier materials. They have some luxury items, such as radios and televisions. You recognize that the language you hear is slowly changing from that spoken near the water. As you begin to enter the foothills of the giant volcano you see organized homesteads. The people here are well fed and possess many luxury items. The houses now have skirts of lawn. You see phone and cable lines attached to every house. You can also detect the slight curve of the base of the volcano. There is slightly less room here for a population as large as that on the plains near the sea. You begin to climb the gentle sides of the volcano. Here you encounter several vehicles per dwelling. The homes are large enough to shelter many families, but you can only detect three or four inhabitants in each. The people appear to throw away slightly used luxury items as well as an incredible amount of edible food. Higher up the slopes, there is a definite grade that impedes your progress. The curvature of the volcano is readily apparent. There is very little space for many people here, yet the few people that are present seem to spend a majority of their time lounging around. These people seem to have somehow temporarily borrowed individuals from the lower parts of the island. These borrowed people are completing all the labor-intensive work. Strangely enough, you notice that the borrowed people are only allowed to be at certain places at specific times up here. Additionally, the higher altitude must have some how caused the pigmentation in their skins to fade as few people here have the dark tan color of those by the sea. Almost to the pinnacle now, you are amazed at the manicured flora adjacent to the well-kept roads. You know that these trees and plants normally grow nearer the sea, but have been magically transplanted up here in the thinning air. The few houses present are so vast that you wonder if they are factories. The materials the homes are made of are not indigenous to this island. The altitude here has so bleached the skin that the people hide under layers of the most wondrous cloth you have ever seen. At the peak now, you pause. Before seeing who lives up here, you turn and look below. You can clearly see the glimmering houses immediately below you. Slightly beyond you can barely make out the work force of borrowed people. The further down you look, the hazier the images appear. You cannot see the simple houses close to the shoreline. Those living at the surf line are obliterated by the glare of the sun on the water. The island, contrary to what you know, seems like a wonderful place to live. It seems that everyone has beautiful houses and people to maintain the grounds. You close your eyes and turn around. Opening them, you see coming out of the mist a huge White House. Now imagine watching someone trying to leave the zone in which they where WAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO born. A figure struggles to escape the thrashing of the waves. If lucky enough to scramble up the rocks without being thrown in to the sea, the figure finds itself in a strange new world. Although the people here are very similar, they speak a slightly different dialect. What is worse, they seem to resent the intrusion. Their curiosity quickly turns to anger as the figure attempts to eat some of their food. The intruder either is pushed back, killed, or escapes to an area of poorer resources in the sea-spray zone. Fastforward several zones. You now see a figure trying to drive its SUV higher up the volcano. Immediately the SUV has trouble with the steeper grade. Increasing amounts of gas are used to maintain the climb. Soon, the SUV is out of fuel, but the figure cannot afford the price for even a single gallon of gas up here. Additionally, those that live up here are resentful of the "crappy" car the figure has brought to their neighborhood. Although, they claim that they would never chase someone away (or worse yet - kill them), they exert pressure in the form of ostracizing and defacing any trespasser. I think you get the idea. Now, what can be done? I have come up with 5 solutions. First, destroy the volcano (Marxism?). Second, build a rapid transit system through different volcanic zones (education?). Third, create zonal mountains (Capitalism?). Fourth, ignore the s ummit (Zen Buddhism?). 5th, u nify all those in the zone and advance up the volcano (Coup de Grace?).

Skovgard �Something Very Wrong with Erosion Campus Construction Floods Parking Lot By : Nathan Fields Pride Feature Editor Amanda and Kai of the Environmental Club watch as water drains past the sandbags placed to stop the water and silt. (Nathan Fields/Pride Photo/) O n M eeting M arge Piercy By: Darcy Walker Pride Opinion Editor A few years ago, my brother recommended I read Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy. I found the novel fascinating, inspiring, and truly unique. I sought out Piercy's poetry, and read the collection, Woman on the Edge of Time, which moved me deeply after my own mother's death. So when I received the Arts and Lectures brochure announcing Marge Piercy's visit, I quickly emailed my Pride editor and claimed the story. During the weeks before Piercy's reading, I prepared. By reading more of her poetry and studying her website, I hoped to get the most out of her talk and to ask her some intelligent questions for The Pride. In one of my classes, we have been studying the writing process in detail, and I added a question about the subject to my short list. On Monday, I sat in the full auditorium listening with ravenous attention, devouring the words like a hungry child. Marge Piercy's poetry was n a disappointment. Her demeanor during the question and answer period, however, left me quite dissatisfied. Tasked Piercy to tell us about her writing process, what rituals she uses, and what inspires her. Slumping across the podium, she replied, "Look. I'm a professional writer. I go to the computer. I write. If I don't write, I don't get paid." The crowd laughed. My face burned, a matchstick flash in the dim auditorium. Piercy's lengthy, albeit offthe-mark answer went on: "The things that are difficult in an art or a sport are things you don't even have to think about five years later."Obviously empathy joins those forgotten things. She went on to mention her new book on how to write, and then wrapped up her answer with, "The simple things, like getting yourself to work, aren't difficult." I had not asked for a magic pill, or the secret recipe for a spell that would not only force an unwilling hand to write, but also make it miraculously produce great literature. I simply wanted a tidbit of insight into the unique writing process of an accomplished author. D oes she drink coffee when she works? Sit in the garden with her cats? What do her first drafts look like? Does she visit the local library for research? Any such crumb would have sufficed. Her apparent assumption that I was just another lazy student looking for an easy solution insulted and embarrassed me. Perhaps I expected too much. Perhaps Marge Piercy has been asked so many lame questions in her time that she expects no more from people. Maybe she has evolved to the point that she no longer sees her writing as a process. She sits down at the computer and it just happens, automatic as breathing. Whatever the case, I did not enter that auditorium expecting to be blessed with the inspiration to go out and claim the Pulitzer. If, however, I am someday successful and lucky enough to share my knowledge with eager, engaged listeners, I hope I remember to treat them with kindness and respect. As a public institution we want to be environmentally friendly, don't we? I asked myself this question Friday morning when I walked down to the west end of parking lot C to find it flooded with mud and water. A friend in the Environmental Club had informed me that the new parking, lot construction area was causing major erosion on campus. A wide and steady current of dark water and mud was flowing down out of the construction site, flooding over the curbs into the natural unpaved gullies, and into the parking lot where it was mudcaking the tires of an entire row of cars. Stepping carefully around the sandbags and onto the curb, mud swallowed my boot up to the ankle. Speaking with Kai and Amanda, members of the CSUSM Environmental club helped me to realize that the problem with such runoff goes far beyond muddy boots and dirty car tires. Run-off leaves our cemented-in world and flows into our man-made storm drains which normally run directly into creeks, lagoons and the ocean. Since Cal State San Marcos is at a higher elevation than much of the surrounding area, anything natural or unnatural leaving in the water flowing off campus seeps into our surrounding environment. Kai explained that "by the look of the water you can see that we have clay, and if there were fish in a nearby creek this would be very unhealthy for them because they need to have free oxygen circulation around their gills. This sediment clogs them." When I asked a construction worker to explain the erosion, I was told, "it's gotta go somewhere." Not that I'm criticizing the construction crew. It seems they were making efforts to combat the problem. When I got to the parking lot, a campus facilities vehicle was laying out rows of sandbags to filter and slow the runoff. I later learned that the bags were being placed in response to Kai's concerned calls to various campus offices. Unfortunately, sandbags are designed to hold back and trap only the heaviest sediment, and some of the worst siltation to have in our streams, creeks and ocean is the very fine particles that sand bags do not stop. Preventing sedimentation of rivers should be a concern of anyone who wants to maintain a healthy natural environment as it increases erosion and compromises the integrity of riverbeds and the health of the surrounding plant and animal life. Of course sediment naturally flows down hills and mountains when it rains, but the runoff at Cal State San Marcos is excessively muddy because of the construction and mining processing of the soil. From a construction worker I learned that there are regulations on stopping sedimentation from construction sites, but he explained that they are rarely enforced. He also mentioned that desilting basins, specifically designed to catch sediment from spreading into natural aqueducts, are usually only built after a problem becomes obvious. He didn't think our campus had a desilting basin. But, he did acknowledge that "there should really be no silt out here", even though there was. The construction crew also graded the dirt in attempts of stemming the tide of the water. However, the rain knocked down the flimsy plastic barriers placed to prevent the sediment from running off. No one reinforced them and, in the meantime, the water continued to flow. To add to the runoff problem, I witnessed a large water tanker spraying the ground in order to force any remaining sediment down into the parking lot. This was considered a remedy! The tanker continued on to spray the students' cars that the runoff muddied. A construction crewmember said it was "technically" called "street-washing", but I d on'tassume to understand terms so "technical." To me it just looked dirty. Imagining all of that runoff carrying sediment and clay into the nearby San Marcos Creek and Batiquitos Lagoon, and eventually the ocean, makes me feel a guilty about supporting this construction with my student fees. As a public institution, we want to be environmentally friendly, don't we? Perhaps I shouldn't assume such things so readily. Nathan Fields rinses his muddy boot. (Melanie Addington/Pride Photo) Eyes on the Road—Hands on the Steering Wheel By: Daniel Huey Pride Staff Writer Modern technology gives new kinds of distractions to motorists, and hand held cellular telephones represent an unnecessary distraction. Back in the days of stagecoach drivers, the only distraction coach drivers faced were ruts in the road or some grungy banditos looking to rob their Wells Fargo satchel. The coachman drove their rig under the open sky through wide-open spaces. If they were lucky, they might see one or two other coaches, and in those days meeting someone on the open road could save their life. However, now the roadways are packed, and everyone is in a hurry. Time is money. We spend a vast amount of time in traffic waiting: waiting for the light to change, waiting for traffic to loosen up so we can drive the freeway speed limit, and waiting for other drivers to give enough space to make a lane change. Accidents happen when drivers quit paying attention to their driving. People using hand held cellular phones cause most of the close calls I experience while driving. Ever have someone almost broadside you while making an illegal left turn while yakking to someone on their cell phone? People who use hand held cellular phones while driving give more attention to their conversation than to their driving. If these people cause an accident, then they affect not only my life but also my family's lives. I think there should be a law banning the use of hand held cellular telephones while driving. There is already a law against using stereo headphones while driving. It is against the law to drive while wearing stereo headphones because drivers who wear them cannot hear the traffic around them—such as an ambulance or someone honking their horn. My peeve is that I do not think that people who use hand held cell phones while driving really pay attention. I think they pay more attention to their conversation than they do to traffic. Their eyes drop from the road to pay attention to dialing the phone and then they pay more attention to their conversation than to what happens on the roadway. Not everyone will agree with what I say, but it will draw a line and open a conversation. Because cell phone users cause most of my close calls in traffic, I think there are other motorists who have similar experiences. I hope this missive alerts people who do use a hand held cellular phone in their car that it is an unsafe driving practice and makes them think about the impact they cause other drivers by unsafe driving. �On Campus Events Tuesday, March 6 Organizing an Academic Essay Time: 12pm-lpm Location: ACD 420 This workshop introduces you to university writing by discussing academic expectations and will help you move beyond the five-paragraph essay.
