Disaster
Workshop
Provides
Education,
Fun, Freebies
By: Nathan Jovin
Pride Staff Writer
The Professional Development Committee sponsored a
"Disaster Preparedness" workshop on Friday, March 16. The
event was free for students, faculty and staff. Guest speakers*
games and prizes highlighted the
event, which was billed as "a
lighthearted approach to a serious
subject."
Jim Yolk, of the American
Red Cross, addressed the issue of
preparedness in case of a disaster. "The biggest risk we have
[in southern California] is fire."
Yolk acknowledged that earthquakes and floods are threats,
but explained that "if you look
at it from the standpoint of statistics, and history .... what are we
responding to on a regular basis?
We had 376 disaster responses in
the last fiscal year. A vast majority of those disasters were fires,
and the vast majority of those
fires were preventable." Yolk said
that two vital steps to disaster
preparedness are having a plan

National Latino Research Center Open House
By: Giovanni Ferrer
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, March IS,
CSUSM's National Latino Research
Center (NLRC) and the Latino
Association of Faculty & Staff
(LAFS), held an open house to
promote the center's services.
The NRLC and LAFS are
the only known organizations
in the CSU system reflecting
the needs of the Latino community. Specifically, the NLRC conducts research, trains researchers
and provides information systems
reflecting Latino demographics.
This was the first open house
for the NRLC since it moved
from San Diego State University
two years ago.
Approximately 30 guests,
comprised mostly of CSUSM faculty and staff, gathered at the
open house. While music played

G raduation: The More You Know...
By: Roland Arias Jr.
Pride Staff Writer
"The graduation process is
not really clear because it is not
explained like it should be," said
business student Nathan Suwarnasara, "You know the deadlines
but you don't get much detail."
The final steps toward a
degree may be a trying time for
some students, and the process
of applying for graduation may
also be frustrating. One issue that
can confuse students is knowing
when to graduate. Generally, stu-
dents should apply for graduation
the semester before they intend
to graduate. An undergraduate
student must have completed 90
units before s/he can apply.
However, in addition to worrying about completing the necessary units, students must consider other issues.
Walking Vs. Graduating
One issue that can confuse
students is "walking" in the graduation ceremony compared to the
"completion of one's degree." The
ceremony is considered a oncea-year celebration that recognizes
graduates for the current academic year. Graduation refers to
the completion of all requirements
needed to complete a degree.
Often times a student will walk in
the graduation ceremony during
the spring even if s/he still needs
more units for summer graduation. Students who have completed the requirements for their
degree in the fall semester will
participate in the graduation ceremony for the following spring.

�D ay C are Rate H ike
By: Clay Baber
Pride Staff Writer
By providing childcare services at a discounted rate for
students, faculty, and staff, the
ASI Early Learning Center has
been taking a loss. "Last year
we were actually losing money,"
said Joyce Williams, Program
Director for the ELC. "We were
paying out more than we were
bringing in from tuition".
Based on a study conducted
by Williams and ASI Executive
Director Darlene Willis, they
determined that it costs the ELC
$25 dollars per child to provide
one full day of childcare. Last
year the ELC charged CSUSM
students $20 dollars per day for
childcare; faculty and staff $23
dollars per day; and community
families $25 dollars per day. With
the exception of the children of
community families, the ELC's
costs for providing care for each
child exceeded what was being
charged in tuition.
"The fees had not been
increased in more than a year,"
said Williams. Last December,
however, the ASI Board of
Directors approved an increase
in tuition for the ELC.
The tuition increase applies
to both full day care (for 10 hours
and 45 minutes) and part day (for
five hours and 45 minutes). The
fee increase will take effect in
two phases; the first phase began
in February.
The first phase involved an
increase in tuition from $23 to
$25 dollars per day for full day f
care for the children of CSUSM
faculty and staff, and an increase
from $25 to $27 dollars per day
for community families. There
will be no change in tuition for
part day care, nor will there be
any change in tuition for full day
care for the children of CSUSM
students.
When the second phase
begins in July, there will be
an increase in tuition from $20 to
$22 dollars per day for full day
care for the children of CSUSM
students, but no further increase
for faculty, staff, and community
families. Additionally, the* tuition
for part day care will be increased
by $1 dollar per day for all children. This equates to an increase
from $14 to $15 dollars for students, from $16 to $17 dollars
for faculty and staff, and from
$17 to $18 dollars for community
families.
In comparison, the Child
Development Center at Palomar
College is able to offer free childcare to students because their
program is totally subsidized by
the state. Currently, the only subsidies for the ELC come from
ASI. CSUSM students pay $5
dollars per semester for the ELC
with their student fees; however,
faculty and staff do not pay. "The
problem with this is that ASI
was subsidizing CSUSM faculty
and staff with student fees," said
Williams.
Williams indicated that
another reason for the increase in
tuition is due to the lack of state
funding for the ELC. "Funding
first became available in April of
last year. We were not granted the
funding, so we have applied again
this year," explained Williams.
"It comes down to who writes the
best grant proposal and who has
the best interview to determine
who is awarded the funding."
Without state funding, the
ELC has no choice but to raise
the tuition. "We are always
looking for grants or funding
so that we can achieve our ultimate goal of providing free childcare for CSUSM students," said
Williams.
According to Williams, the
ELC Ms recently applied for a
state grant that would subsidize
childcare fees for students based
on income and family size. A
response to this application is
expected by July first of this year.
She also indicated that the ELC is
currently in the process of applying for a second state grant that
would provide part day care services for students, faculty/staff,
and other community families.
"We will continue to apply until
we are funded."
Currently any student with a
child attending the ELC or another off campus childcare center
is eligible to apply for the ASI
Childcare Scholarship, which is
available during the Spring and
Fall semesters of each academic
year. "This scholarship provides
$200 to $900 dollars for qualifying students to use for childcare expenses," said Tammy
Rodriguez,
ASI
Childcare
Representative.
Despite the current and
proposed increases in tuition,
Williams commented, "We are
now serving more children and
families than we ever have."

Graduation Rules
»Article cont. from page 1
The graduation process does not
need to be as complicated as it
seems. Given the right resources
and knowing the right time to
apply, the graduation process can
be simple if all the necessary
steps are taken.
"Applying on time is the best
way to avoid precarious situations," said Andres Favela, Assistant Dean of Student Relations.
Often times, students apply after
the graduation deadline, which
delays the process of their graduation. Advisors can help students
that applied late for graduation,
but the paperwork is slowed down
in comparison with the paperwork of students that have applied
on time.
To help students better understand graduation and^ create a
smooth graduation process, here
are some tips from the College

Santana Alumna Reflects
"Young People Are Not Being Heard"
By: J. Ryan Sandahl
Pride Staff Writer
"When I first heard about the
shooting, I was pulling into the
university parking lot and
wondering if I was going to
make it to my class on time,"
said CSUSM student Darlene
Browning. "When I heard the
words 'Santana High School,'
I couldn't believe it. Memories
came flooding back to me of
my days there." Browning, an
alumna of Santana High, also has
a nephew, Tommy, who attends
the high school.
After hearing of the shooting,
Browning frantically called each
of her family members in East
County to find out if Tommy was
okay. She found out he was quite
shaken up. Tommy had been in
the bathroom where the killings
would take place moments later.
"He heard the shots echo,
turned around to see what had
happened and saw the security
guard getting shot," said
Browning. Tommy then fled the
scene and caught a ride home
with a friend. When he arrived
home, Tommy and his mother
went to Albertson's supermarket
to try and help kids find their
parents.
"I do not think he should
be tried as an adult," Browning
said, referring to Andy Williams,
the gunman. "From what I have
read, this is his first offense and I
think there is great hope for him,
but not if we try him out of the
juvenile court system."
When asked if she thought
that there should be tougher gun
laws, Browning replied, "I don't
think there should be harsher gun
laws. What has happened here
and elsewhere is a symptom of a
much deeper problem."
Browning went on to say that
she felt young people are not
being heard during adolescence,
a critical point in their lives.
"High schools are so crowded
today," she said. "How can a
teacher adequately attend to the
emotional, social and academic
needs of each student?"
Browning continued, "All I
know is, from personal experience, that if you have a troubled
teen, you are very aware of it but
many times do not know how to
get help for him or her. You feel
like a failure because our teens
are not coping with everyday life.
Seeking help outside of one's self
takes a lot of courage and humility. Knowing where to find that
help is sometimes perplexing."
Tragedy Prompts CSUSM Policy Revision
N ew System W ill Distinguish Between Response a nd Recovery
»Article contfrom page 1
the college prepared to?
Although the current crisis management policy has very specific protocol for
handling "critical incidents," the college
is revising its policies. While there may
be nothing wrong with the current policy,
Vice President of Student Affairs, Francine Martinez said, "We're broadening our
policy so it's across the board for everyone."
The mission statement of the current
policy reads : "The purpose of this policy is
to provide clear direction and consistency
in responding to a campus crisis directly
involving students." The revision will reorganize the team into primary and secondary teams; the primary team will deal with
initial response while the secondary team
will deal with recovery.
Martinez said the revision aims to provide consistency for faculty and staff as
well as students, and to "clearly distinguish between response and recovery."
Response steps will focus , on immediate
police action, sealing off the campus if
necessary and securing the safety of those
on campus. Recovery involves counseling,
any and all steps to help heal and, according to Martinez, "taking steps to bring the
community back to a sense of normalcy."
These steps would include what CAPS
Director David Blasband calls "debriefing
or critical incident debriefing," a process
of providing help and support for anyone
who needs it. The Employee Assistance
Program provides such services for faculty and staff. "We're trying to be more
sensitive to stress," Blasband said. "Students are stressed in a variety of ways and
there are different ways to act that out.
We're trying to deal with problems as they
develop, before they escalate."
After the incident at Santana, all
CSUSM students with a Santee zip code
were called, as a reminder that CAPS was
there and that any support or help they
needed was available.
Martinez said that Santana High School
called in over 200 licensed psychologists
for assistance after the shootings, and that
CSUSM would do the same. "We would
not think we could handle it ourselves, and
we would bring in as much help as was
needed."
Although the policy revision is not
based solely on the incident at Santana, it's
being examined in light of what CSUSM
can do to ensure the campus remains safe.
"The Santana shootings speak to the
increased use of violence to deal with
our frustration, how we express our rage,
depression and anxiety. It's becoming an
increasingly 'okay' thing to do this," said
Dean Jonathan Poullard. Blasband said that
Counseling and Psychological Services
aims to "recognize the signs (of stress,
depression and anxiety) and to address
them before anything happens. [We're]
increasing our focus on prevention as well
as intervention."
Martinez said she hopes the revised
policy will serve as an educational tool as
well as provide protocol for crisis management. "Campus-wide training will be
made available not only to faculty but students as well," she said.
The training will begin this summer
and will be offered at least once a semester. The revised policy will add the Associate Vice-President of Academic Affairs
to the primary response team and move
the positions of CAPS Director and Director of Facility Services to the secondary
recovery team, which may also include
Director of Student Health Services and
Director of Human Resources, and any
others on an "as needed" basis.
Students are encouraged to contact
members of Student Crisis Management
with any information on suspicious or
changed behavior in fellow students, and
to contact CAPS for any support, resources
or help they need.
Student Crisis Management, a team
developed specifically to prepare for and
deal with similar occurrences, includes
Francine Martinez, Vice-President for Student Affairs; University President, Alexander Gonzalez; University Chief of Police,
Tom Schultheis; Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard; Campus Public Information Officer, Rick Moore; Risk Management Coordinator, Linda Letter; Director
of Counseling and Psychological Services
(CAPS), David Blasband; and Director of

Disaster Workshop
Held

and supplies.
San Marcos Fire Department
Captain Brett Vanwey and
CSUSM Campus Police Chief
Tom Schultheis spoke about what
to do in the event of an emergency on campus. They emphasized that having a plan is the
most important asset to one's
survival in the event of a disaster.
Vanwey suggests making yourself
aware of your surroundings and to
know the locations of fire extinguishers and exits. Schultheis reit-
erated that it's always a good
idea to have an emergency kit.
Some essentials are food, water,
clothes, a radio and a flashlight.
Cathy Gremett, Clinical Aid
II with Student Health Services,
helped coordinate the event. "The
campus does have an emergency
plan in action," she said. "The
purpose of [the workshop] is student welfare." Free dessert and
prizes such as flashlights, sleeping bags and emergency kits were
handed out to attendees. The
event was sponsored by several
businesses. Plans for a workshop
dealing solely with on-campus
emergencies is in the works and
will be held this summer.

Bands
Perform
For St.
Paddys
Day
By: Melanie Addington and
Victoria Segall
Pride Editors
There is no better place to
celebrate St. Patrick's Day than a
Mexican restaurant. Three bands
performed at Tio Leo's on St.
Patrick's Day for a 21-and-up
crowd. The Creepy Creeps began
the night with its performance.
The four-member band dressed
in black from head to toe and
wore black and white face paint.
Their image and musical sound
may best be described as the
Munsters meet the MTV generation. As she headed towards
the dance floor, CSUSM student
Michelle happily shouted, "The
Creepy Creeps really make me
move, I can really dance to
this!"
The second act of the evening
was the Down's Family, with a
punk-rock approach appropriate
for the holiday. With its punk
rock meets Irish pub sound, the
music was much too loud for
the small venue, but the crowded
dance floor indicated that people
were having a good time.
The final performance of
the night was the Scotchgreens.

known fact that 20,000-30,000
Chicano anti-war protesters demonstrated in 1970 at Laguna Park
in East Los Angeles, California.
The event ended in violence.
Ruben Salazar, a reporter for
the Los Angeles Times, was killed
in the demonstration when he was
struck by a tear gas projectile.
Mariscal said, "We now know that

directed by Victor Milan. In this
film, David Sanchez, founder of
the "Brown Berets," addresses a
crowd of protesters. He tells them
that Chicanos died in Vietnam
at twice the rate of Caucasians.
"This is our land, not our government," shouted Sanchez, to a
crowd standing in the cold rain.
The video ends with a crowd of
people marching in the rain down
Whittier Boulevard in East Los
Angeles.
Mariscal, who served more
than ten months in Vietnam,
said that racial issues of thirty
years ago are still present today.
Mariscal also told the audience
how he believes that Chicanos are
under-represented in institutions
such as CSUSM and UCSD, but
over-represented in the Armed
Forces and prisons. He ended
his presentation by saying, " The
working class, all races, fought
disproportionately in the front
lines."
Slam Poet Steals Show
By: Darcy Walker
Pride Opinion Editor
Warmed by the sun and
cooled by an afternoon breeze,
a small audience gathered in the
Library Courtyard, Wednesday
March 14, for an open-mic poetry
reading. The reading was one
of a series of events celebrating
Women's Herstory Month, sponsored and promoted by ASI.
Waiting patiently for ASI
to set up, Sociology Professor
Sharon Elise, who hosted the
event, remained relaxed, telling
the audience of less than 20 men
and women that there would be
"a short pause for the cause."
After a 25-minute delay, Brad
Schmidt and Dean Manship of
ASI set up the PA equipment, and
the reading got underway.
Honee Folk, a student and
member of ASI, read first. Her
poem, "I've Been Robbed," was
one she wrote while in high
school. Although it was her first
public reading, Folk later said
that the event had a relaxed, "nopressure," feel. Folk said the only
pressure came from within: "Just
my own butterflies,"
The second poet was Jennifer
Geran, who Elise introduced as
co-host of San Diego Slam, a
team of Slam poets who compete nationally. Geran read three
poems in her first visit to the
microphone, including one about
the attractive and repulsive qualities of a Barbie doll, another
called "Eunice Mother Betty,"
and one dedicated to her grandmother, called "Gladys." The last
poem includes the lines, "When
the mopping dissatisfies you /
you beat us unmercifully / at Go
Fish and Crazy Eights."
Professor Elise then introduced Quincy Sultzbaugh, a
Women's Studies major and
CSUSM's first Ethnic Studies
minor. Sultzbaugh read a poem
called, "Why Did You?" about]
a girl molested by a family mem
ber. Full of images of anger and|
sadness, the poem ended on aj
hopeful, positive note.
After offering the floor to
any other readers, and getting
no takers, Professor Elise read
one of her own poems, "Ain't
No Love Like." She prefaced
it with, "it's a long piece, so I
hope that you can bear with me
on a little journey." Elise's reading used strong rhythm, call and
response, and singing to carry
the audience through cities and
towns, rivers and villages, where
"Black love" has "gone global."
With no more poets coming
forward, Jennifer Geran read
again, to the obvious delight of
the audience. She followed the
poem "Bizarro Laura Petry" with
the statement, "I am Very fascinated by the people I see
on TV, so I've written many
poems for them." Indeed, Geran's

event. (Bottom right) CSUSM student Honee Folk read a poem she

poems examine arid attack several
aspects of culture and the media.
"Karen Carpenter at the Clinique
Counter Getting Ready for her
Date With Richard Nixon," was
another example of Geran's sharp
wit and talent.

lar performances and host openmike nights at the Rendezvous

W hat Is My Ethnicity?
By: Roland Arias Jr.
Pride Staff Writer
Recently I had a debate with one of my cousins, who
lives in Quezon City, in the Philippines. In our little
debate, my cousin and I discussed what truly constitutes
one's cultural identity. "You can't really be a true Filipino
unless you speak Tagalpg and immerse yourself in the.
lifestyle here. You can't understand what it is to be Filipino unless you live in the Philippines," my> cousin told
me.
^
.
But what determines one's cultural identity? Is it our
genetic sequences, arranged in the form of a double helix?
Is it the environment one is socialized into? Is it the continent that one lives on? Is it the language one speaks at
home?
For many members of emmigrated, second-generation families in the United States, asking yourself what
your ethnicity is can be a trying question. Because I was
bora and raised exclusively in the United States and only
speak English, I began to question whether or not I was
a "true" Filipino. Under my cousin's criteria, my claim to
Filipino heritage was almost non-existent.
When I was younger* and first considered this question, I felt like a part of my identity was missing because
I did not speak Tagalog Growing up, I would listen with
envy as my Tagalog-speaking friends would converse in
their native tongue with their parents, as if it was second
nature to them. When their parents asked me if I spoke
Tagalog, I would slowly shake my head no. With a look of
surprise and astonishment at a Filipino boy who did not
know how to speak Tagalog, some would roll their eyes as
if I were totally oblivious to Filipino culture. There were
other times when I would listen to my grandma singing
in Tagalog and could only listen to the familiar sounding
words, not knowing their full meaning or context. Everyone else knew their "native" dialect, why couldn't I?
rather than Filipino, I believe that the values, customs,
and traditions that I practice determine my ethnicity, not
just the language I speak and where I live. One's cultural
identity should not be measured by what characteristics
are missing, but by the characteristics a person values and
cherishes. Granted, I will never understand what it is like
to live in the Philippines, but I carry the values* and customs of Filipino culture that my parents have instilled in
me and I plan to carry them on to my children as well.
At the cost (in opportunity) of not being bilingual, my
parents made the decision to communicate with me exclusively in English. I love my parents for always having my
best interests in mind and I have no regrets that they did
not teach me Tagalog, or any of the many dialects that are
spoken in the Philippines when I was younger. I have realized that not speaking Tagalog did not make me less Filipino than any other person of Filipino decent.
Quezon City? The Philippines is one of the most beautiful
places in the World, but I would never feel truly at home
there. Do I consider myself a "true" Filipino? My identity is composed of many components, being Filipino will
always be one of them.
I feel fortunate that I have been raised in such a
diverse environment where I can pride myself in being
part of a collective but at the same time be recognized for

Pride Staff Writer
How different is the Dome
from a high school cafeteria?
Well, to be honest, not at all.
The fact is, the university needs
to bring more variety of food to
campus. I am tired of eating
the same plates every week. I am
frustrated by the fact that* they
cannot even cook a quesadilla
with white cheese. How hard
can that be? So what if I am
picky—I am paying for it.
For a student who has been
here a few years and who unfortunately has no time to go down
to San Marcos Boulevard to get
some real food, the Dome is the
only alternative, and a nightmare
at times. My appetite goes away
because I am so tired of the
routine food that is offered at the
Dome. If other restaurants are
not served as food at CSUSM,
the profits would be tremendously higher than what the Dome
makes right now. Students like
me eat because they have to, but
not necessarily because we enjoy
it.
Lunch at the Dome reminds
me of my elementary and high
school years—just when I thought
I was out of them. The convenience store is as bad as the
Dome. My advice to all of you
when buying at the convenience
store is to look at the expiration
date, and for anything weird,
before your appetite gets scared
away. And then you wonder why
we cannot eat healthy! At this
campus there is nothing healthy.
Finally, plan on bringing your
own chair and table if you want
to eat at the Dome.
No. I don't have enough
time to put my all into it
and I'm not interested in
politics.
No. I don't think I have
very much time in my
schedule. Time is pretty
much the only reason.
I would have to say no
because it seems very time
consuming. I don't think I
could give a 100% to do a
good enough job.

Many students come to college with the expectation of being
treated as an adult. Unfortunately
many professors do not treat their
students as such. I find it yery
frustrating to walk into a class and
have the first ten minutes wasted
on a professor taking attendance.
Does it really matter whether or
not we show up to class? It seems
to me that the only reason that
a professor would think it necessary to take roll is because he/she
has experienced a lack of students
attending the class.
Perhaps students are not
attending class because their professor is boring, and they would
rather stay t ome and enjoy the
warmth and comfort of their own
bed instead of trying to make
themselves comfortable while
being lulled to sleep by their professor droning on in a monotone
voice.
Maybe the professor has a
complex about his/her teaching
skills, resulting in them forcing
you to come and pretend to be a
captive audience. I am not exactly
sure. I do know that it seems like
the really boring professors are
the only ones that do take attendance.
Professors that have a passion for the topic that they are
teaching, whose class is enjoyable
because they make learning interesting and fun, do not take roll.
Maybe it is because the professor
has been around longer and has
realized how to make something
unappealing seem appealing and
fun. Maybe it is because they
are secure in their ability to
teach, or maybe they have realized that after thirteen years of
being forced to go to class, they
feel that we are old enough and
mature enough to make a decision for ourselves and suffer the
consequences of our actions. I am
not saying that we should all continually ditch class. We all know
that if we don't go to class there
is a bigger chance for failure or
unsatisfactory grades.
What I am saying is that
maybe the professors at CSUSM
need to recognize that we are all
adults and that as adults we make
choices. Some of these choices
may not be what the professor
would consider to be the best
choice, but at least we would be
given the opportunity to decide
for ourselves and not have it dutifully called to everyone's attention during roll call.

Opening the Doors to Higher
Stress Relief Provided
»Article conU from pg 3
"parking and writing papers." v
Business major Brigette Collins
works in the campus bookstore parttime, participates in the "Senior Experience" as part of her business program, has two children and takes 15
units. As a working mother and student, she says that she doesn't have
much time for anything else. When
asked how she counteracts the many
stressors that are in her life she said, "I
shop." As a senior, Collins had some
advice for new students, "Get school
done with before you have a family
and get support from family members
if you see yourself too stressed."
Max Klinock, a retired CSUSM
student says that his biggest stressors
are his Calculus class, a programming
class and parking at CSUSM. To relax
and take a break from these stressors
he goes to the beach, to church and
teaches Sunday school.
Klinock also advises that students
"too stressed to cope should see the
counselors that the school provides."
According to the experts, all of
these are great practices in reducing
stress of the working and full-time
student. Campus director of CSUSM's
Counseling and Psychological Services
(CAPS), Dr. David Blasband, says
that in order to cope with these hectic
times in a student's life, s/he should
"learn time management skills" and
"be able to realize what you can handle." Blasband also encourages students to get to the bottom of "what is
stressing them."
When asked what types of relaxation methods ease the nerves of the
stressed out student, Blasband noted
that it's important to "do the things
you like, such as walking. Get at least
a half an hour of aerobic exercise." He
also said that it's very helpful to "get
away from things for awhile." However, if these methods do not work
and the person still has problems with
overwhelming stress, Blasband suggests s/he get support from family,
friends, or CSUSM's Counseling and
Psychological Services.
