X I N 0.5 v CSUSM Students Speak On Schwarzenegger CFA By MELISSA RODRTGT1F7. By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter Ever since voters decided to hold California's first ever recall election everyone has been talking, debating, predicting and being entertained by all the media chatter. The whole nation was watching. Would Gray Davis retain his j ob as Governor? Or would voters choose one of the 135 candidates running against him? Now the election is over, when the official results are announced, Davis will hand the reigns of the state over to Gov.-elect, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now, election buzz is dying down and CSUSM students hope that Gov. Schwarzenegger will do right by them. "I really hope that he does well, not because I like the guy, but because I'd like to see the conditions in California improve," said James Nguyen, a third year political science and economics major. Nguyen was against the recall and did not support Schwarzenegger as a candidate. " I hope things will change, I hope .. ... Am^ „ — schools get funding and that they don't cut classes because education is important." said Angela Morgan a business major who voted for Schwarzenegger. CSUSM students had differing reactions to the results of the r^irjSBf!^' m election. Some students are confident that voters have made the right decision in voting for Schwarzenegger. "I think he's well qualified to govern. I think he can step up and battle the issues, he has the charisma, he is forceful and able to do what he wants." said student Mike Markarian. "I'm glad he won because California is so f ar to the left any movement towards the right is a positive" saidMandy Schatzinger, a communications major in her junior year. "I don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed but he's what California needs."

FEATim mmm Urges Change, Budget Management By JONATHAN RODLEY Editor in Cheif While budget cuts gouge the California State University (CSU) system, students and teachers are on the lookout to make sure their needs are met. Classroom instruction, class size, and funding are now protected by provisions made by the California Faculty Association (CFA). The CFA created a document in July 2003 to direct how the brunt of the budget should b e assigned at campus facilities. Along with the 2003-404 budget, the CSU chancellor sent the document to campus |$ administrators before the fall semester started. If need be, the chancellor said he would investigate and correct administrators that didn't follow the guidelines. At CSUSM some teachers think that administration isn't doing enough. "They George Diehr really haven't come to grips with the severity of the cuts " said George Diehr, CSUSM chapter president for the CFA. The CFA's document, called the Supplemental Report Language (SRL), protects undergraduate and graduate instruction. It w as adopted by the legislative budget committees and promotes cooperation between the CFA and the CSU. See B UDGET M ANAGEMENT, p age 2 Clubs Hindered By Copy Right Laws By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter Various clubs show documentaries on campus in order to attract and inform students of issues that they represent, however, because of Copy Right Laws and budget cuts these film showings have been impacted. The documentaries are vital to the livelihood of these organizations on campus. "It cost an estimated $400 to buy public ownership of a given film. The question becomes which clubs will receive money, and how much?" said Jonathon Poullard, dean of student affairs. Because of the cost of distribution rights and Student Residential Life's (SRL) indecision to allocate funds, campus organizations have not yet shown a film this semester.

Due t o t he e ffects of California's budget crisis, there is a continual impact on student involvement at Cai State San Marcos. With t he large cut backs to California State Universities, there is not enough money to p ay for the distribution f ights of these films. Pollard added that SRL can only supply a limited amount of money t o f und these films. Erik Roper, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) vice president and external vice president f or the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), mentioned t hree ways t o get approval of a film's copy rights. Roper said, " SRL told u s that we can do one of t hree things: —Pay each company the $400 t o show a movie; —Get a letter of approval f rom each company; —Have professors list films as p art of their syllabi. Poullard, however, says t he films would (legally) only b e made available t o the students of Budget Management continuedfrompage 1 "It puts primacy on education and requires administration t o report on these issues," Diehr said. The SRL gives priority t o the needs of classroom instruction while requiring reduction in administrative costs. I n California, the general f und f or the CSU decreased 11 percent f or the 2003-2004 budget, according to the CSU website. " There's going t o have t o b e t rimming," said Interim President Roy McTarnaghan. " The needs of student courses are our number one priority - getting t hem t o graduate on £ime is number one." McTarnaghan said that despite limitations on enrollment, CSUSM has more students and less money. "None of u s are thrilled the states e cono my is in t he situation i t's in, but we're all working e ffectively. «ür=F . P said.e h r McTarnaghan Di however, reckoned the e ffects of budget cuts and t hinks changes need to b e made in handling the budget. The CFA urges s taff and students to monitor their campus to ensure that the CSU complies with t he SRL. They provide a " to d o" list on how to monitor budget compliance at the CFA website. At CSUSM, among other things, the budget forced student f ee increases, class size increases, and also p art time lecturers were laid o ff. The CFA is very concerned about the e ffect on lecturers Diehr said. "Many of these teachers need to pay the rent and pay for food." Although t he budget h as had numerous impacts on students and s taff, the CFA recognized e fforts made by administration. "We're pleased with some steps, but we believe much more needs t o b e done," Diehr said. Diehr is also a professor of management science f or t he college of business administration. He said he sees t he potential f or improvement in how the college of business manages their estimated expenses. He said that officers those classes, not t o t he entire campus." These measures will cost students ample time, energy and money. Roper said that Swank Motion Pictures sells distribution rights of movies t o various institutions and colleges f or a m inimal cost. Roper and others would like t o see Cal State San Marcos get an institution p ass with Swank t o show films at a reduced price. Poullard agrees that there m ay b e a better solution that will help t o eliminate the tedious phone calls, large bake sells and car "have not touched the administrative p art of the budget." Regina Eisenbach, associate dean for the college o f business administration said, " It's premature t o draw that conclusion at this point. We have j ust received our fall 2003 budget so no prior decisions have been made." The SRL states that prior t o reducing classes, student services and library f unding, colleges must reduce administrative costs. " The college of business is sticking t o the supplemental language report to the best of our knowledge," Eisenbach said. She added that the college of business may or may not b e representative of other colleges. At this point however, Diehr said that there is "need f or real substantial changes." H e said that administration I R HRBVl • HB K k I f* it If i H II h asn't realized t he severity of the cuts and that t he s tructure and size of management must b e changed. " San Marcos h as t oo many mid level m anagers," D iehr said. " They're still t rying to m ake changes at t he margin -- increasing class sizes and terminating lectures." Diehr also said t he foundation could b e doing more f undraising t o address the budget crisis. Another goal of the SRL is to u se alternative f unding to help lessen t he impact of budget reductions. Diehr said that the foundation should be borrowing f unds and looking for more people to donate to CSUSM. " There is no magic bullet for this budget situation and we can expect increasing costs if not more budget cuts," Diehr said. "This is not going to be over at the end of this academic year." ^ f ^ ^ v ppyp|||||r ^ M j p p i j¡¡¡S| •• • ito b - washes.

A vaccination works by injecting a healthy subject with antigens, who in response develop antibodies to battle the foreign threat. Thereby, your body produces immunities to the more dangerous version of the antigen, the pathogen itself. Usually vaccinations are constructed to take care of A or B strains of the sickness. But as the Influenza virus mutates or alters over time, it is necessary to get a new vaccination every year. To contact the Student Health Services, please call (760) 750-4915.

Nguyen said, "Arnold lacks political experience.. .his moderate politics made him electable. I expect Arnold to be asking for a lot of consultation because he has no idea what he's getting himself into." Another student, Erin Sullivan said about Schwarzenegger, "I don't know if I can take him seriously because he's an actor, we'll see what kind of committee he comes up with." Student's concerns regarding budget cuts and rising tuition costs are not yet being directly handled by the governor. Although the eighth step of Gov. Schwarzenegger's "100 Day Agenda" listed on his website www.joinarnold.com is to "Streamline the bureaucracy and send more money to the classroom." there is no way to know exactly how the governor will address funding issues facing the California State University system. The Young Voters for Arnold website, www.arnold4gov.comdoes does contain a quote f rom the new governor regarding this situation, he says, "There is currently a leadership vacuum in Sacramento. With college tuition fees skyrocketing and classes being cut, young voters are paying the price for career politicians' mistakes. I intend to change all that."

Unfortunately, the turnout was poor and the students who did Like so many other young females show their faces were the same ones you before me, I discovered the complete lack see at every on-campus event. of campus life at Cal State San Marcos These students acknowledge the lack of during my first semester here. a social scene on campus. They see this That was after the first several men I not as a problem with the atmosphere here approached told me about the significance at Cal State, but rather within the student body. "I look out and see people sitting in their cars during breaks on campus and that is ridiculous... This is a time to meet people and make lifelong friends; this isn't accomplished by removing yourself f rom the campus community" said Brett Gladys, student coordinator of the Programming Board. Gladys mentioned that it is essential to build a community on campus, but that students r efuse to involve themselves in the activities and programs here. Besides a lack of activities on campus, women have noticed that many of the single men here are unapproachable. Men on this campus often objectify women and go for those who are pretty, shallow, and generally subtract f rom the bank of human knowledge when they speak. This dynamic of male personality influences women to act the part of the easy superficial girl in order to get the guys. It's a never-ending circle with the result being that the singles here develop shallow relationships with equally shallow partners. Many singles on campus worry about pretensions, styles, impressions, and putting on fronts. What we really need to be concerned about is constructing a campus community and opening ourselves up to meet new people. Our goal should be creating a sense of belonging here at Cal State San Marcos. Albeit disappointing in attendance, the speed dating event did o ffer a solution to the crisis. Through more activities that promote relationships we will have life on this campus. Through more effort from the students we can create a campus spirit which encourages interaction. As Gladys said, "be the spirit you wish to see on campus."

When asked about the class he said "It's cool and it's easy for me and it's fascinating sometimes because it opens up my mind to new i deas" A fter that, he met up with new friends and went on to his calculus class, where his lack of sleep was beginning to catch up with him. "She (his teacher) writes fast and I was falling asleep. I didn't get any sleep in the last week," he said. Back in his dorm, Ronnie made chicken quesadillas, worked on homework with his friend Mike and watched "Porky's" with his roommate Aaron Koop. He walked to his last class of the day with his friend Mike, turned in his homework and went to the ASI Homecoming celebration outside. He saw his academic advisor and went back to his dorm room. Gratefully Ronnie slept for twenty minutes and went to work. Ronnie works at a convenience store on campus. At work, he danced to the music in the store and made his fellow Have you ever been sitting next to people in class and stopped to wonder about their lives? Who are they? Do they share the same interests as you? What is college like for them? For the next few issues, I plan on interviewing random students here at CSUSM and asking them those very same questions. You will get a chance to see what a normal day is like for other college students and how they cope with their .own home and college lives. Ronnie Swaim is an eighteen-year-old freshman here at CSUSM and one of the pioneer dorm residents on campus. He has many hobbies, including snowboarding, wakeboarding, motorcycling, and go-cart racing. One of his favorite hobbies is making new friends. "I love to talk," he explained to me, " I used to be really shy, but I 'm not as shy right now, because I don't know anybody at school, but I 'm still shy around girls at first." It was Monday night and Ronnie had agreed to his interview in my dorm room on the floor below his. Already an acquaintance of my roommates Erin and Ashley, he and his own roommates were on their way down to hang out with them. With a room f ull of noisy roommates, we agreed to grab some chairs, and sit on the f ar side of the kitchen, a little out of the range of noise. I asked him about his day and this is how he began. Ronnie woke up at 8:30 Monday morning and was really tired. He stayed up late with other dorm residents and was finding it very difficult to wake up. He had been up since 1 a.m. dancing with his roommates and friends. Ronnie talked about it: "I was hyper and really in a dancing mood because I 'm excited about the (Masquerade Ball). We started listening to music and two girls came over, so I started dancing and they were dancing and everyone was laughing because we were moving to the beat and I started dancing with them. "A couple of my favorite dance songs came up and we had a contest about who could dance the smuttiest.

"I was Labor and Employment Law going to wear a collard shirt, but chose a t-shirt i nstead" he said. He went on to explain MISSION-FOCUSED CENTERS that he likes his collard shirts, but they're not as comfortable as his t-shirts and when he's tired, he feels more relaxed in a t-shirt. In a hurry, he grabbed a Gatorade and a nutra-grain employees laugh. A fter work, he went to Home Depot with his roommate Aaron and bought plants and appliances to decorate the float that was being designed for the Dorms. He worked on homework and then came to my dorm to visit my roommates, where he began his interview with me. A fter the rundown of his day, I felt like I was in a whirlwind. "You did all that in one day?" I asked him. " Yes" he answered, "and I have two papers due tomorrow for class!" He looked at the clock in our kitchen. "It's 10:15 and I still have to write them," he said. I asked him if he would be starting on them soon. "Maybe" he answered.

CALIFORNIA WESTERN : Hi Bit If IIW S N DIGO A A 8A 1982 A AtS 1867 WWWX9lifornisWest0rn.edu �Hail To The OMBUDSMAN By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman One of the interesting aspects of the position of Ombudsman is that I am not required to necessarily agree with what our paper is doing. As such, I am not terribly distraught over our content or the direction our paper is heading; rather, there are minor problems that we overcome weekly and improve with each issue. One such problem I see is the manner in which we are handling corrections - all of them are not making it into The Pride each week. Therefore, I will be including the corrections at the end of my column from now on. The corrections that will be submitted will come from my own critique, the editors' observations and f rom reader inquiry. From the onset of the paper's distribution this semester, I am aware of two corrections that were overlooked last week that will be included this week. As always, I would like to encourage everybody to keep reading The Pride and sending me your feedback. Also, take The Pride home with you and share it with friends and family so they can get a sense of what is happening at your school. A fter all, if we are doing our j ob of providing a newspaper that is indicative of the campus as a whole then The Pride should be an accurate reflection of the campus worthy enough to share.

In this issue, in the caption accompanying the photograph with the article "Coffee Hour," the country of Colombia was misspelled Columbia. The Pride apologizes for the spelling error. Vol. XINo.4. On the front page and on page two in the article "Meet the Dean, Or Not," Vicki Golich is incorrectly identified as the dean of students. Jonathan Poullard holds that position. Ms. Golich's position is interim dean of the college of arts and sciences. Note to the Editor By ALEX ROSALINO Pride StaffWiiier I believe that it was stupid for the powers that be to increase the student fees. That is a very direct statement and may seem harsh, but I feel there is no other way to state it. Other people and I registered in late June for this fall of 2003, but learned that we had been dropped due to a sudden student fee increase. They could have warned all the students about what they were going to do by sending out e-mails. My friend received a little card in the mail stating the financial change and said "I barely noticed it." When I did go to there office to ask why, they claimed they did send out e-mails. I wish I would have got one. Did you? Luckily I was able to re-register for classes. By Chris Martin CSUSM Student As the writer of the article in question, 78 magazine's "Get It On In The D orm" and a current student at CSUSM, I feel it pertinent to inform readers that the so-called "opposition" to the article, or rather the violators of our civil rights, failed to confront 78 magazine directly about their apparent concerns pertaining to the magazine's content and still remain anonymous. The premier issue of 78 was summarily rounded up and exiled to the bowels of the circular file for what could be construed as a protest to my evident lack of morality. This act strengthens our view point that we must all be vigilant if we are to maintain our civil rights on our college campuses. To Cathy Nguyen of Student Health Services I ask - what article were you reading? Like it or not, it is legal for the majority of University students to drink and have sex. Having a drink with a member of the opposite sex to blow off steam and possibly engage in an act of protected consensual sex is quite different f rom "taking advantage of inebriated girls (which) could lead to sexual assault." Contrary to your opinion, the message of "Get It On In The Dorm" was the following. Here are some stereotypes, lets laugh at them, and by the way, if you're going to have sex, be responsible. This was primarily a humor piece with a few crassly presented common sense pointers. For those of you who recognized it as such, congratulations. [mu.cmmwki cmm- Furthermore I find it offensive that you assume our student body is incapable of making rational decisions regarding their sexuality and that a few sarcastic remarks will lead educated adults to commit sexual assaults. Your objections make sense only if we blatantly r efuse to acknowledge the use of irony and take items out of context. Those trained to read critically can clearly see that the article was carefully constructed to address both genders. Any perceived "gender biases" are a result of careless reading and the injection of the readers' own preconceptions. I suggest you read the article again - this time analytically. 78 is alternative media - meaning we don't have to be for everyone. It also means we don't care if we r uffle a few feathers with the ultra-PC crowd. A fter all, t hat's the point of f ree speech: - To have f ree and open exchanges of ideas regardless of their popularity - The freedom to have a voice, to disagree, be disagreed with, and to trust people's competency to make up their own minds based on all the arguments. Deciding what information others can access is best left to fascist regimes. To produce media in any other manner would be considered a journalistic travesty not only by the publication I represent but by me as well. Finally, though we disagree, I want to thank Cathy Nguyen for participating and offering her opinion publicly and I hope more people will lend their voices to the forum - that's what 78 and The Pride are here for. �THE PRIDE A&E May I Take Your Order? By JOHNP. SCRIPPS Pride StaffWriter Where do we go to eat? Whether out on that first date, hanging out with friends, or that special occasion, it's a question that plagues us all. It is a question that begs an answer. I took upon myself to find one. I picked what I thought were the best restaurants in the area t o fill out three basic categories: 1) a place to go with friends to socialize, 2) a place for a first date, and 3) the five-star anniversary special. If you are looking for a social atmosphere that allows for your underage friends to sit with you, you'd probably choose a place like TGI Friday's. Unfortunately there are no TGIF's in San Marcos. The closest one is in Oceanside. Most of us do not want the hassle of another long commute but, luck is just around the corner. There is a place that serves alcohol, but still allows for your underage friends to sit with you. They have great meals and delicious finger foods. The social setting will allow for you to get a little loud without offending other patrons. Drum rollplease. The answer to all your problems is the San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They have a whole selection of home brewed, non-pasteurized ales, such as: honey ale, a rich oatmeal stout, Premium Gold and a Weizenbock. T he possibilities are limitless. Fortunately, the brewery is only one exit West of Twin Oaks. All less than two minutes from the dorms! They have the typical finger foods like nachos,-potato skins, and chicken fingers, but also some more interesting items such as calamari stripsr and a sausage sampler. Entrees tend to be American, but there are a few things that stand out as being different like the Cajun chicken bow tie pasta and the ale battered shrimp (fantastic!). The prices are comparable to TGIF, with an average amount of $7 to $9 a plate. If you ever find yourself hungry while sitting around and watching television head over to San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They even have a take out menu. You can contact the brewery at (760) 471- 0050. If you're looking for a place to go on the ever important first date, look no f urther than The Old California Mining Company. They nicely blend sheik with affordability, which is great considering you'll need to purchase a parking pass next semester. The décor is reminiscent of an Old Mine. The inside consists chiefly of mining paraphernalia with wooden beams, mining carts, lanterns and shovels. The ambiance is quiet enough for you to talk. There are enough conversation pieces on the wall to help when there's nothing left to say. Just think; where else could you say things like, "Wow. Look at that ax!" or "Look at that lantern. By the way, can Î light your way home?" There is a really good selection of steaks. The food, aptly put is American. If you decide against the consumption of meat there is a selection of salads and pastas. The servings are not too big. The Old California Mining Company is a great place for a first date. It's not too loud, not too bold, and it has pretty darn good food at a price that will still let you pay for your books. You also have the option of ordering your food for take-out. Photo by John P Scripps/The Pride San Marcos Bar & Grill is a popular dinning hot spot on Restaurant Row. Unfortunately, there are not ' 5-star restaurants in San Marcos. However, there is one located in Old Town off Interstate 5 south, just before you get downtown. It is a bit of a hike, but a worthwhile trip especially when celebrating an anniversary or the like. The restaurant in question is called El Agave. It is an unsurpassed holein-the-wall Mexican restaurant. I have taken many friends there to prove my point and have yet to take one that disagreed with me once they'd finished their meal. The International Wine & Food Society, La Jolla Chapter (of which I am Tuesday, October 1 4,2003 7 RestaumntRow a member) awarded it their blue ribbon in your parents to pay for parking and books. 1998, which is no small achievement.

Whether you decide for a place to In regards to the f ood... there are n a dine with friends, a place to take that words. The sauces, which make or break special someone or a place to celebrate any five-star meal, are incredible in their variety and depth of flavor. Thè food is strictly Mexican. Some of the dishes have a unique twist imparted by the chef. For example, the filet mignon is smothered in a traditional peanut sauce and filled with goat cheese. It is a sort of Mexico meets the 21st century steak. It is extremely delicious. This restaurant lacks one of equal comparison. So for that big anniversary, show your loved one that you care. Take them Photo by John P Scripps/The Pride downtown; buy them a shot of tequila for a $150 bucks - j ust kidding. I guarantee that Old California Mining Go. is a great they will love El Agave.
