Candidate

Forum Held

By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Staff Writer1

An open forum, held
Thursday and Monday, gave candidates in the ASI elections a
chance to introduce themselves
and field questions from students about campus issues and
ASI's role and involvement in
student life.
One of the topics addressed
was the ASI budget and the
amount of money appropriated
to help subsidize the cost of the
Early Learning Center (ELC).
Incumbent
president
Dean
Manship said the ELC was one
of the ASI's biggest costs* and
addressed questions posed about
the lack of funding for student
clubs.
"It's a difficult situation/'
Manship said. "[The ASI] is a
finalist for a $250,000 grant, and
if we get it, we won't have to
subsidize the ELC at all. If we

don't get.it, we'll have to move
money out of the ELC and the
first place it will go is to student
clubs and groups."
Manship said the ASI budget
is "a confusing document, and
it's a difficult situation. Our only
option to keep everyone happy is
to continue looking for grants."
Several of the candidates
were asked what they could do to
get students involved, and why
they thought apathy was a problem on campus. Dustin Naylor,
running for Undergraduate
Representative, said, "Students
aren't aware of what's available
to them, what programs are
available." Naylor mentioned that
ASI-sponsored events are always
well-publicized, "which is always
a goal for us [ASI]"and that he'd
"like to support the school more,
and get in touch with the school
by meeting new people."
"ASI must go to great lengths
to inform students," said Josh

on Monday, April 30. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington)

Heers, the unopposed candidate
for Vice President of Finance.
Vinnie Williams, who is
running for Executive Vice
President, said, "Students don't
know what ASI is doing and they
don't care, but I know everyone
on this campus has; an opinion."
Naylor also brought up the
lack of student housing on campus, which he sees as one of
the reasons for lack of student
involvement.
Williarrfls stressed the importance of getting out there and
"really getting die message

across to students, even if we
have to be outlandish."
Tammy Rodriguez, the unopposed candidate for Corporate
Secretary, said she's "really f rying to institute a monthly newsletter to inform students "
"It's not going to happen
overnight," said Artie Patel, who
is running for the position of
College of Arts and Science
Representative. "Hopefully, we'll
see a lot of improvement next
year."
The candidates were asked to
describe, in one word, the stance

ASI needs to take to improve
student involvement and campus
life. Williams said the ASI needed to be "loud." Naylor said
ASI should be "comfortable."
Patel used the word "accessible,"
and Rodriguez said it should be
"committed."
"We need to envision where
this organization is going to go
in the future," said Manship. "It's
not just a stop and go, but something we really need to carry

Bargaining Process Begins for Faculty

resolution to the contract bargaining."
Diehr commented that, historically and considering the last
contract negotiations, this process will not be without conflict.
Ken Swisher commented that
CSU administration "sincerely
hopes to arrive at a quick and
orderly renewal of the contract
by June 30."
In the event the union and
CSU administration teams do
not come to agreement on a contract by June 30, there could possibly be a declaration of impasse;
meaning that both sides declare
no progress has been made.
After a declaration of impasse,
mediation begins with a state
representative from the Public
Employees Relations Board to
mediate the bargaining process.
At this point, a period of "fact
finding" begins with a team
of three individuals, one from
the CFA team, one from the
CSU administration team, and
one from a neutral party by
mutual agreement. This factfinding team then issues a recommendation to the two parties
who use the report to come to an
agreement. "If necessary, such
a process would hopefully be
completed by the end of summer or surely by the end of
September," said Diehr.
"If this process doesn't
work," he continued, "then job
actions such as letter writing or
e-mailing campaigns or teachins would begin." CFA hopes
that these actions will get the
attention of the state government
who would then put pressure
on both parties to come to an
agreement.
"It's very early in the process, and mostly what's happening at these early meetings is
agreeing on the itinerary," said

Swisher.
Swisher continued by saying
that, "This process is very normal. This year's contract negotiations are not extraordinary in
any way."
Diehr, on the other hand, felt
that "the issues we are bargaining on this term's contract are of
a greater magnitude than in/past

proliferation of part-time faculty because having this many
adjuncts means that we have
our faculty doing more work for
less money. Of course this costs
the administration less," continued Diehr, "but adjuncts suffer
because they have no employment assurance! Students also
suffer in terms of quality of their
education."
Swisher explained that the
CSU system administration had
a very different view on the
adjunct policy. "Our main use of
adjuncts is to ensure our ability
to adapt to a changing student

body. We want to be able to
respond to increases pf students
in particular classes, as well
as situations where there are
decreases in enrollment. Having
adjuncts at our disposal allows
us to be more flexible."
Swisher also explained that,
since the economy has improved,
the CSU system is greatly
increasing its level of adjuncts.
"This was something we couldn't
afford to do when the economy
was bad," said Swisher.
In reference to the quality of
teaching provided by adjuncts,
Swisher explained that, "It is
(the administration's) view that
adjuncts have the ability of bringing a new, fresh perspective into
the classroom. For that reason,
we think adjuncts are beneficial
for students."
Swisher said that the
administration's main concern
about the adjunct policy focused
on FERP, the Faculty Early
Retirement Plan. FERP allows
faculty to teach part-time for
half-pay while receiving about
two-thirds of their retirement
money. Swisher said that this
necessitates the hire of "at least
two additional professors to take
their place, and that (FERP) is
a program that administrators
wish to make efficiency changes
to."
Diehr summarized the CFA's
intentions for the bargaining process in renewing their contract
saying, "Overall, we will be trying to reduce the rising student/
faculty ratio as well as the ratio
of students to tenure track faculty, We'll be asking for more tenure track faculty and less adjunct
positions. We want to encourage the administration to bargain in better faith and to reach
early tentative agreements that
can serve to expedite this bargaining process."

Many traditionally printed
newspapers have also developed
online versions. This combination of printed and online edition,
when done well, increases the
newspaper's circulation, advertising and provides a broader range
of services to readers.
For example, the San Diego
Union Tribune has an online edition that is found at http://
www.signonsandiego.com, and not
too surprisingly, The Washington
Post's online edition can be found
at http://www.wasWngt9npost.com.
The student newspaper at SDSU
is The Daily Aztec, and it can be
found at http://www.dailyaztec.com.
The Pride also has an online edition, which can be found at http://
www.csusmpride.com.
Online editions generally do
not mimic their printed counterparts. Not all articles and advertisements make it into the online
edition. The Pride's online edition is no different; not all articles
are found on The Pride's online
version, such as last week's web
site review, and there is very little
advertising on the site.
Other online editions have
features that make it worthwhile
to visit the sites. Some features
may be the newspaper's outstanding reputation, and viewing them
online allows them to be globally accessible. For local papers,
online displays of information
such as traffic, weather and movie
times provide incentives for readers to visit the web site. These features make online edition work.
The Pride Online fails in these
regards.
Also, online editions often
include features that allow for
reader feedback that may not be
found in printed versions, such as
the online surveys found on The
Pride site. Online surveys seem

to be a standard component of
newspapers and magazines web
sites. Online surveys, however,
are worthless from a statistical
point-of-view as there is no way to
tell how the people who take the
surveys are distributed in the general population; and accordingly,
the results are often skewed.
One of the most useful features that can be incorporated into
online newspaper editions is an
archive of past issues. Archived
issues of The Pride are not available on the web site. The site
also has a "search" button, but
it is a broken link, and the "contact" and "about us" links also do
not work. None of the other online
editions of newspapers I mentioned before feature non-functioning hyperlinks. The "LTWR
316/COMM 316" link works;
however, I do not understand why
it is included in the online edition
of the paper, since the link is
only for students in that class and
not for general readers.
The basic design of http://
www.csusmpride.com is logical
and follows the standard formula
for most web sites. The San Diego
Union Tribune uses a similar formula. Basically, both sites consist
of links on the right and left hand
side of the page and a main story
down the center.
The Pride Online is easy to
use, at least the functional parts
of it, mostly because there is
so little information on the web
site. But their online edition also
commits the faux pas of using the
same underlined font and color
for things that are both links and
non-links.
does not compose a useful a rnplimait
to the printed edition because there is
absolutely no reason to visit t te web
site unless you don't pick up a printed
version.

Protest at the Border
Free Trade Area of the Americas
By ZACHARY PUGH
Pride Staff Writer
Protestors and activists
marched through the streets of
Southern California and into
Mexico on Saturday, April 21.
The rally began at Larson Field
in San Diego where protestors
began their march in hopes to
stop the Free Trade Area of
the Americas (FTAA), a proposed expansion of the North
American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA).
FTAA would "integrate the
economies of the Western Hemisphere into a single free trade
arrangement," according to the
official FTAA web site (http://
www.alca-ftaa.org), and "barriers to trade and investment will
be progressively eliminated."
Proponents of the FTAA,
such as the Stop the FTAA
Coalition, however, argue that,
"the goal of the FTAA is to
impose the failed NAFTA model
of increased privatization and
deregulation hemisphere-wide.
Imposition of these rules would
empower corporations to constrain governments from setting
standards for public health and
safety ... and enhance corporate control at the expense of
citizens throughout the America's. FTAA would deepen the
negative effects of NAFTA that
we've seen in Canada, Mexico
and the U.S."

Guest speakers for the rally
included Medea Benjamin, a
political activist and U.S. senate
candidate, and Tom Morello, a
guitarist for Rage Against the
Machine.
"We are part of a movement
that is not just around the FTAA,
but stopping the whole corporate globalization agenda," said
Benjamin, co-director of the San
Francisco based human rights
organization, Global Exchange.
Morello told the crowd,
"After looking at the FTAA's predecessor, NAFTA, it only makes
sense to oppose it. NAFTA was
a failure and destroyed the lives
of millions. More people live in
poverty today thanks to NAFTA,
more people are landless and
homeless thanks to NAFTA,
and more people are working
in sweatshops, are uninsured
and are unemployed thanks to
NAFTA."
Although he did not attend
this protest, student Ricardo
Favela, president of the CSUSM
chapter of MEChA (Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan)
said he felt very strongly for
the resistance against the FTAA.
When asked about his personal
opinions on the resistance to
FTAA, Ricardo said that he was
"in agreement with it" and that
that we need "to try to internationalize the struggle and take a
stand across the borders."

Despite gray skies and intermittent drizzle, CSUSM's Environmental Club pulled together
a group of environmentally concerned citizens in its Saturday,
April 28 beach clean up. Over
twenty individuals, including students from Cal State San Marcos,
Palomar College, North County
high schools, local citizens and
their children, arrived at South
Carlsbad State Beach to join in
a 9 a.m. effort to collect garbage
and support the club's efforts to
raise environmental awareness.
Pleased by the turnout, Club

Drought Buoy Brings a Menagerie of Entertainment
By M ARC Y RIVERA
Pride Staff Writer
For those looking for a oneof-a-kind performance, look no
further then improvinist group
Drought Buoy. An ensemble of
college instructors, they performed free of charge at
Escondido's California Center for
the Arts, on April 23, at an auditorium filled almost to capacity.
A self-described "performance
a rt" trio, Drought Buoy is comprised of bass player Gunnar
Biggs, poet Brandon Cesmat and
dancer Terry Sprague.
-What makes Drought Buoy
performances so unique is that
they are never performed quite
the same way. Cesmat described
it as a "passion for making something that is new every time."
The impromptu part of the performance also adds a lot of creativity. Attendants were asked
by student helpers to think of

a random word, which was written down on paper and put in
a box. During the performance,
the group took the box, sprawled
out the papers around the stage
and selected a few at random.
The group did an impromptu,
freestyle on the word "flirting,"
about a couple that is flirting
and waiting for their baby to fall
asleep.
Throughout much of the
45-minute performance, Cesmat
talked or sang through song,
Biggs coordinated the music, and
Sprague performed interpretive
dance. The songs that the group
performed ranged from somber
to funny to lively. Biggs played
a surf-like melody on his bass
for the song "California Town"
while Cesmat spoke about the surrounding cities of Valley Center,
Escondido and Vista. The song
"Body Engineering" was about
the design of body parts, which
Sprague interpreted in a playful

Salsa Fresca: A CSUSM Student Recipe
* I ts Fresh and I Made It Myself
&gt;
By DANIEL HUEY
Pride Staff Writer
Guests come to our homes
for numbers of reasons: to talk, to
watch sports on TV, and to share
'meals. Be prepared to entertain
with this simple, easy to prepare
and delicious Salsa Fresca.
Be sure to make plenty
because this delicious stuff
doesn't last long once the guests
have tasted a sample. Preparation time is 10 minutes with a
food processor or 20 minutes if
done by hand.
Ingredients:
10 roma or other variety of
tomatoes
1 nice onion — red; white or
yellow
1 bunch of green onions
5 firm, crisp, robust jalapeno
chilies — never use canned
chilies
1 bunch of cilantro
Salt—I prefer margarita salt

but any kind will do
2 juicy limes or ljuicy lemon
White vinegar
Okay, lets get cooking.
Rinse the chilies, tomatoes,
green onion and cilantro. I like
using "Fit" to remove the wax
that is used on these types of
vegetables.
First, dice the tomatoes and
place in serving bowl, a large
one is necessary.
Next, mince half the onion
and chop the green onion and
place in the serving bowl.
Split the jalapeno chilies in
half and remove the seeds and the
white part that holds the seeds.
If you like your salsa very
spicy (nuclear), leave the seeds
and white part in a couple of the
chilies.
Mince the chilies and a good
amount of the cilantro and place
them in the serving bowl.
With a wooden or plastic
spoon, mix all the ingredients —

"salsify" the salsa.
A fter the salsa is mixed,
squeeze on the lime or lemon
juice, lime juice is preferred,
and add about three tablespoons
of the white vinegar—a good
splash—and add salt to taste,
then mix a little more.
If you have the time, give
the ingredients a half an hour
rest in the refrigerator, this will
allow the distinct flavors to meld
together.
Serve Salsa Fresca with tortilla chips as a finger food or as
a condiment with tacos, eggs or
fish.
For a different flavor, try
substituting some diced mango
for part of the tomatoes (mango
salsa is a delightful condiment
for chicken and fish).
Now when guests arrive they
will ask, "Did you make any of
your famous salsa? " Or they may
ask, "How did you make this
delicious salsa?" Shhhhhhh, it's
a secret.

Crocodile D undee in L os Angeles
By TIM FARMER
Pride Staff Writer
Sequels tend to rely on their
forerunning movies to captivate
the
audience.
Although
"Crocodile Dundee in Los
Angeles" is no exception, it is as
funny and as "good as the past
Dundee movies.
Paul Hogan again stars as
Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, a tour
guide from the Australian outback. Mick's longtime girlfriend,
Sue Charlton, is still played by
Linda Kozlowski after 13 years
since the last Crocodile Dundee
movie. In this sequel, Dundee
and Sue have a child together
but are not married. Mick can
hardly tell Sue, "I love you," and
the couple is rarely seen together
which makes their relationship
seem a bit unbelievable.

Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski star
in the third Crocodile Dundee film.

Shortly into the film, the
Dundee family travels to Los
Angeles because Sue takes over
a press position. She soon realizes that the man whose position
she takes over was researching a
movie production studio before
he died. While Sue takes over
his research, Mick takes a job
as an animal caretaker, snoops
around Los Angeles and finds
some strange practices taking
place. Like the other movies
before, Mick always seems to
find a way to use his outback

skills to his advantage in fighting
and capturing the "bad guys."
Although this movie was
hilarious, it was dependent on
the ignorance of Mick living the
city life and captivating everyone, including his son's teacher
who has a crush on him. The
movie *also had some spoofs
to keep it interesting such as
the Dundees driving an Isuzu
Outback (in real life Paul Hogan
endorses the Isuzu vehicle).
In order to enjoy a movie
like this, you need to let go of
reason and thought.. "Crocodile
Dundee in Los Angeles" is funny
and entertaining, and that's the
aim of this film. And you never
know, you might walk around
saying, "G'day mate" to everyone f rom now on.
This film is rated PG by the
MPAA for language.

She does not work at the

Her expectations for this

Rumble, who hopes to compete in the triathlon, adds, "It

"Coach really helps me. He is

Surf and Ski in the J iame Day
By TIM FARMER
Pride Staff Writer
With the ski season coming
to an end, the options for ski
and snowboard locations are also
lessening. As of April 27, Bear
Mountain, Snow Summit and
Snow Valley are all closed for
the season. Locally, Mountain
High is the only remaining resort
still in operation for skiing and
snowboarding. They expect to be
open at least through May 6, so
time is running out. They have

a 12-24" base and have spring
conditions. The runs are pretty
thin with snow, but individuals
can still ride them.
Mammoth, however, doesn't
appear to be closing any time
soon. Although they have spring
conditions, they have a 5-7 foot
snow base and just about every
run is open. The trip can be
rewarding if you are craving to
get that last trip in before the
season is over, and the roads are
completely clear, so it won't take
you forever to get through the

snow.
As for the surf conditions, the
water isn't exactly warm yet. The
terfiperatures have been ranging
from 57-61 degrees, and the wave
conditions have been fair.at best,
but don't let that stop the summer surf urge from creeping into
your blood a little early. The
waves are still fun if you have
a longboard, but they can be a
bit frustrating if you are short
boarding it.

Fonts and Margins:
Do They Really Make a Difference?
By ROLAND ARIAS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
Putting papers off until the
last minute is something of a
standard for students in college.
Staying up until three in the
morning, scrambling for additional sources, and finally printing an essay 15 minutes before
class is nothing new to the average student. Many students can
say that they are guilty of procrastination. But when an academic paper's length is the concern, a common tactic used is
adjusting the fonts and margins.
Throughout my academic
life, professors have always told
me to use a "standard font" and
one-inch margins on all papers.
As all of my papers have always
been in Times New Roman, I
find it disturbing that other people in my class would submit
papers in the ever popular font,
Courier New, that would magically increase the size of their
papers by at least two pages.

While some professors want students to type in Courier New for
certain classes, most professors
state that they want papers submitted in standard font normally
in the size of 10 or 12.
In most academic writing,
professors request and average
of five pages for a regular paper.
While five pages is not a lot to
ask for, many students will take
the short cut of Courier New.
Even when looking at a paper
that is typed in Courier New
compared to a paper typed in
Times New Roman, there are
glaring differences in the size
and appearance of the text. For
students who turn in their papers
iri standard fonts, it can be disturbing to know that other students in their class submitted
papers in a larger font, which is
essentially less writing.
While using Courier New
and other fonts are popular methods of increasing paper length,
another is adjusting the margins.
As the. standard for academic

papers is one inch, changing the
margins even slightly increases
the white space in a paper. Even
as minuscule as changing a oneinch margin to 1.1 seems to
work wonders when typing a
paper 20 minutes before it is
due. Changing the margins of
a paper may increase the paper
length, but just like changing
the font size, it takes away from
more intellectual writing that
could have been in the paper
instead.
Given these tactics and other
ways of trying to make a paper
longer without actually typing
more text and ideas, one must
consider if using these shortcuts
are worth the effort. The tradeoff for using these methods
is including more analysis and
more writing that could only
better a student's paper. The
content of writing, not filling
white space on an essay, should
be the concern in academic writing.

New Bill Introduced: AB 634
AB 634 (Wesson): Five
year-old compulsory education
introduced 2/22/01 "This bill
would lower the compulsory
attendance age for entry into
school from 6 to 5 years of age.
This requirement will apply to all
children, whether their parents
plan to send them to public
school or private school [including private home schools].
Thanks to government "education", i.e. "socialization", i.e.
indoctrination, i.e. demonization of non-conformists (like
those who know government is
the cause of problems rather

than the solution), we'll have
5 year-olds shooting each other.
Those who survive will be even
more disillusioned, bored and
angry than their older siblings.
End the theft, compulsion,
ignorance and irrationality that
are government education, AKA

charities will do what's best for
the rest,

�College Changes You: Senior Experiences on Spring Break
By JEREMY ZAGARELLA
f or The Pride

College changes you. I had
always been told it but never
believed it until recently. Being a
senior at CSUSM, and with my
graduation quickly approaching,
I have recently been reflecting
on some of the more important
things that I have learned during
my short time of study. As Spring
Break approached I like everyone else I know was imagining
myself lounging around somewhere—anywhere—waiting for
the next hour to pass and trying
to think of anything but school.
While I was getting used to
the idea of just laying around the
house for a week-due to my low
funds—I received a call that some
could only dream of. The phone
rang; I picked it up. It was an
old friend of my brother's whom
I hadn't talked to in years. What
Dave proceeded to ask floored
me. After the expected small talk,
he commenced to ask me if I
would be interested in going on
a trip with him (expenses paid)
during my Spring Break. "Where
to?" I asked. "How does South
America strike you?"
"South America!"
In less than 24 hours from
that phone call, I was on an American Airlines 747 on my way to
Chile thinking this is the stuff

movies are made of. The scoop
was that Dave was taking a whirlwind trip to a remote tribe in
the mountains of southern Chile
in order to drop off needed medical supplies for a humanitarian
organization. Surreal is the only
expression to describe my feelings of disbelief.
Three days into the trip, Dave
and I found ourselves the guests
at a cultural ceremony of the
tribe that we were assisting. I was
better prepared for what was to
come than Dave. Dave had grown
up in a very ethnocentric home
where he had seen very little of
other cultures. He differed from
me in that he saw the South
American tribe we were with as
^others" instead of members of a
unique and varied culture with its
own history and heritage.
For years I have been
involved in varying ethnic/
cultural activities at CSUSM
including helping to organize
Pow-Wows with the Native
American Club, Aztec dancing
festivals, and even some native
African cultural displays that took
place on the campus. The respect
and knowledge of diverse cultures that I have gained through
this experience could never have
been received at another institution. During that Wednesday
morning, I saw the difference in
Dave, who did not have the privi-

lege of a CSUSM education.
As we sat on the far side of a
natural amphitheater in which the
ceremony was* to be held, the
sun was just coming up and the
condensation could be seen emanating from hundreds of mouths
in the gray morning light. The
amphitheater stretched about the
course of a football field, with a
small hill at the base acting as
a backdrop for both sound and
light. As the ceremony began, we
gazed intently. I was getting a
chance so few would ever get.
About 100 women came out dancing a soft and gentle dance while
holding young babies in their
arms. The women wore no coverings at all and neither did the
infants they held. At this instant
I noticed a distinct difference
between Dave and I—it would
be one of many through out the
ceremony. As the women danced
holding the babies, Dave got a
bitflushedin the face and started
to laugh. I asked Dave what was
wrong, and he began to make fun
of the women's nudity. Dave was
unable to look beyond his Westerri-American, social-economic,
culturally constructed taboos to
see the beauty of the women's
dance. Dave's insensitivity only
mounted as the ceremony moved
on.
The women would dance in

a vague circle as the onfookers
sang a gentle melody. One by one
the women began to move toward
a man tied to a horizontal log at
the far end of the amphitheater.
I hadn't noticed the man before
the dance moved his direction in
a lovely beat. Dave finally turned
to me and suggested that he had
seen enough. I could tell he was
disturbed by the natives' comfort
with being seen nude on stage. I
mentioned that his problem was
that he was seeing these people
through his own culture. If I
learned one thing in my two years
of Study, it is the foolishness
of judging any cultural practice
by my own culturally produced
taboos. I encouraged Dave to stay
but he insisted on leaving. Knowing I would be a fool to leave, I
stayed.
It is impossible to explain
the way I felt at that moment,
and sometimes it all feels like a
dream. As theflrstrwomenmoved
toward the man on the log, she
straddled the man and began to
have sex with him while still
holding the infant in her arms.
The act signified an open social
outlook on sex and rebirth that,
while it probably would have
shocked a more uneducated mind,
was refreshing to me. There was
no shame for these women as,
one by one, they all commenced
to straddle the man on the log and

have sex. I was reminded of one
of my professors who had just
weeks ago lectured on different
cultural constructs as it related to
sex. In his lecture he had mentioned how one culture could not
judge another's practice, as all of
our taboos are constructed by our
social and cultural concepts.
I noticed the singing in the
crowd got louder as the first
woman began to dance more and
more enthusiastically lifting the
infant above her head. I was taken
with the sheer grace the dancer's
moves. She moved quickly from
side to side in front of a large
triangular stone and all at once
thrust the infant's head down
upon the point of the rock. One by one the women would execute this rite after dismounting
the man on the log. Of all the ceremonies of the tribe, this was
its most sacred. I thought how
glad I was to have been through
my years of study at CSUSM
before coming on this once-in-alifetime trip. I thought how disturbed Dave would have been had
he stayed for the rest of the ceremony, and how insensitive Americans like Dave could be toward
other cultures. At that moment I
knew what all those people had
meant when they said, "College
changes you."

A re S tudents T hat Lazy?
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
When I was walking out of
my class the other day, I witnessed an act that needs to be
addressed. As I approached the
double doors by the elevators in
University Hall, I reached out
to grab the handle and open
the door. To my amazement, the
doors swung open automatically. I stepped back just in time
to see an able-bodied guy with
. his step-out-of-my-way gait slip
agilely into the hallway.
Please correct me if I'm
wrong, but isn't there a handicap logo on the buttons that
control the automatic doors? I
was just wondering, because I
thought they were provided to
help individuals with different
needs gain easy access to all
areas of the university.
Let me touch on some aspects

For example, if everyone decided
to disregard the energy crisis
and leave one extra light on in
their house all of the time, we
would all be left in the dark.
Instead keep the extra light on
in your head. Don't waste. Lead
everyone into the light.
Why would you even use
the automatic doors in the first
place? It doesn't take more time
to open the doors with your
hands; most likely it takes less.
Why not use a bit more of your
own energy, rather than wasting
natural gas, oil or nuclear energy, which are so very limited?
Are you that cool or just that
lazy? Now there is a closed question. No need to think, you can
just pick the answer that sounds
best. I'll even help you along if
you are still confused. It sure

A few words of encouragement, maybe a special
reward for a special performance, Parents do it all
the time, and so do teachers, :
Good teachers are the difference between a child
who succeeds and one who stumbles. They are
the ones who make math fun and science seem like
an adventure into another world.
Teaching is the profession that allows you to see
the most gratifying, Immediate and instantaneous
reward of a job weft done - a child's smile.
