Broken water valve causesfirein Academic Hall By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter By JONATHAN RODLEY Pride StaffWriter The frequent routine of repairing busted water pipes at campus sparked a cause for alarm Wednesday, when flooding shorted circuits in Academic Hall igniting a fire. University Police evacuated the building and called for firefighters to come, nobody was hurt. This is the second time that broken water pipes have caused a closure at Academic Hall, the largest classroom building. In spring 2003, part of the building closed due to flooding. At a school with miles of water and electrical valves, there are of thousands of places where systems can fail, said Chuck Walden, director of facilities services. Wliile his crew repaired the valve, they saw sparks inside the wall of the men's third floor bathroom. To get to the glow, they cut a hole in the wall and found a fire. By that time, the heavy smell of burnt rubber floated through the third floor and two fire alarms were pulled. Olaf Hansen, a math professor, said it took five minutes to evacuate from the fourth floor. "It was really calm," he said. Rebecca Bazquez, said she thought the alarm See FIRE, page 2 CFA speaks out against new Budget Photo by Jon Rodley/77*e Pride A fter f ire a larms r ang t hrough A cademic H all, M ichael V asile o f t he S an M arcos F ire D epartment a rrived o n s cene w ith t wo o ther f irefighters, W ednesday. The California State University system (CSU) will experience a 20 percent decrease in state support j n two years if Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed budget is approved by the Legislature this summer. The proposed budget will cut approximately $240 million from the CSU and would, once again, increase student fees. The California Faculty Association (CFA) has produced a summary analysis of how the proposed budget cuts will affect the CSU. Included in the summary is the impact on student fees and financial aid. The CFA's primary concerns are the decreasing enrollment, elimination of student success programs, student - teacher ratio, and the likely loss of teachers, courses, and/or library services. "The last thing California can afford right now is a cut to the CSU/' said John Travis, CFA president and a government professor at Humboldt State University. State Treasurer Phil Angelides will start visiting CSU campuses Jan 20 to call attention to the proposed budget and how it will affect the CSU system and the impact it will have on California's economy. "The CSU infuses billions each year into the California economy and produces tens of thousands of educated and productive workers each y ear/' said Travis. For more information on Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed 2004/05 budget or to see the CFA's 10-page analysis go to: www.calfax.org/reseach.html. Tours available; grand opening at Kellogg Library By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter Photo by Sarah Carlin/T/ie Pride T he n ew K ellogg L ibrary h osts a S tarbucks m ultiple s tudyrooms a nd a mple c omputers. The new Kellogg library is hosting tours of the new building for members of the campus community. Grand opening ceremonies are scheduled for Friday, March 5, at noon, and will host a number of speakers and performing artists. "We welcome students to come in and explore on their own," said Melanie Chu, outreach and multicultural librarian. "We've got maps at the information kiosk, when you walk into the front, and we also have maps at the research help desk." Chu added that a more detailed map of the new library can be found on the research webpage. Class tours can be arranged by contacting the department librarian, or individuals can tag along on another tour. Those interested can contact either Chu, at extension 4378, or Gabriela Sonntag, coordinator, information literacy program, at extension 4356. Chu said that there are different tours happening, and clubs, committees, or individuals should contact her. The library is 200,000 square feet, hosts over 300 new computers, nearly 30 study rooms and 250,000 books. Starbucks can be found on the third floor, left of the main entrance.

The ASI support for an environmental class requirement is only one step to getting the proposed requirement to be mandated by the administration. The Environmental Action Group (EAG) has been gathering support for the requirement by getting signatures around campus. "We have close to 600 signatures so far," said Didi Lund, ASI arts & science representative. The next step for the environmental requirement will be for the Academic Senate to approve it. The Academic Senate is made up of faculty that evaluates and recommends new academic matters to the President of CSUSM.

Though no one in the By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter The CSUSM nursing program, set to be operational by fall 2006, has received a $350,000 federal appropriation thanks to Congressman Randy Cunningham (R-San Diego), a member of the House Appropriations Committee. The funds are part of the FY 2004 Omnibus Appropriation bill passed by the U.S. Senate on Jan. 2 2,2004. "I am proud to support the community coalition established at Cal State San Marcos to address San Diego County's nursing shortage by providing this $350,000 in federal funding through the FY2004 Omnibus Appropriations Act," Cunningham said. The money was requested by CSUSM to support the expenses of developing a nursing bachelor's degree program. If all goes as planned, by 2008 the first graduates of the program will be able to enter the workforce helping to alleviate local and national need for health care professionals. "As in hospitals all across the country, patients are facing longer waits, postponed surgeries, and fewer available staffed beds as a result of the nursing shortage. This program will train a new generation of nurses to serve our region," Cunningham said.

There will be 175 less students accepted compared to Spring 2003, Campus officials say that the controls have been effective in limiting enrollment. Although, there was a 45 percent increase in applicants to CSUSM from fall of last year, registration rates have dropped. "The demand is clearly there," said Francine Martinez, vice president of Student Affairs. "But as the state reduces our funding, we are forced to limit admissions."

By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter As this semester's features editor, and I hope to incorporate national and international events into The Pride. This semester in the features section, we will host a column in which The Pride, along with the help of its readerships will explore national and international events. This week the topic of discussion deals with Hie exploration of Mars. I, who am personally skeptic of my own generation, was pleasantly surprised by the careful thoughts and insights of the fellow students I talked with. I have and always will, thought it important that we know what each other think about issues of importance. We live in important times, as will those who live after us. If you have an opinion you wish to express, or an event you would like to explore with us, e-mail the pride@csusm.edu (ATTN: University Voice). Please enjoy knowing this semester, though our column, what we learn from you. Brett Gladys Math major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think, I mean, what the benefits of it are a greater understanding of the world we live in. It is a lot better to have scientific backing for what you believe than to believe blindly in something. To have some sort of facts to back things up is sort of nice. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think if life somehow evolved to some extent on another planet, it would help us understand how it evolved on ours and if it evolved a different way. Maybe not using DNA the way ours is. It would be interesting and kind of lead us in the right direction of, and understanding of how we came to be. Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on mars? I am not so sure about the politics of Mars; the moon on the other hand is I think the proverbial lifting of the leg and pissing on everything to mark your territory. General comments? I think there are unseen advantages. I think that the Galileo was the satellite that saw the comet that hit Jupiter and we didn't know that was going to happen when we sent it out there. There could be unexpected benefits that we don't know about. I'm sure that political motives drive billions of billions of billions of dollars being spent, but there are other advantages there. Amber Davis Literature and Writing Studies major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think it put people's minds to rest to have actual proof instead of just theories like we always had. Theories that the world was round, but we never actually proved it until we went to space. We've only known for fact that the world is round for the past sixty years, right? Maybe we had theories about Mars and other places like that, but now we can maybe put people's minds to rest, and have actual proof and data. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think it is another place for man to go. It is the next natural place for us to go besides further into the ocean. We've seen what there is on land and earth, so why not go further? Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on Mars? Maybe so that we can say that we were the first ones to do it. Wasn't it the United States and Russia that had the race to get to the moon first? The same type of thing. Feel superior to get there first. General comments? I think probably money could be spent other places, put to better use. Conquering Mars and searching on Mars isn't going to solve any problems that we have. Did it really help anything? There are other things we could be doing. The whole education thing, and budget cuts, and people are going to Mars. It's kind of funny.

Misadventures in the new Kellogg Library By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter It's spacious, has lots of windows and a great view. No, this isn't the description of a seaside resort available for leasing in La Jolla, but the new technologically savvy Kellogg Library. Isn't it the best when you start a new semester and there is a new building? This semester all of us are being greeted with a new library. The new Kellogg library is 200,000 square feet of caffeinated f un and adventure. Last Tuesday, January 20, the library opened its doors to the campus community. Checking out the new library was the first thing I did when I arrived on campus. Construction dust continues to settle during the library's first week of being open, and temporary signs guide students where and where not to go. Some of the signs are a little confusing, not everything is up and running and elevator access is a little barring. Taking the elevator to the first floor is sort of interesting. You step off of the blue back-dropped elevator into what feels like a psychiatric wing of a hospital. It smells of linoleum glue and the fluorescent lights hum. There aren't any windows here and there isn't much to see other than the writing center, math lab and classrooms full of students, lots of students. We went up to the second floor and meandered our way through the books and computer lab, getting a bit lost when we reached the deadended hallways which are home to all of the new, not-yet-completed, conference rooms. We found our way out though, not to worry, and then, there it was, what I really wanted to find most of all—the media library. I owe some late fees at the video store in my town, so I have been hesitant to go in for a while. It is always nice to go where the rentals are free and you keep the video for a week. After feeding my film fix, my friend and I got on the elevator to take us to the third floor; the doors began to close when a man hopped in. He saw that we had already pressed the third floor button and relaxed against the cloth-covered wall of the elevator. We were all waiting for the doors to shut and begin moving up to the next floor. The doors began closing then reopening. A woman in her early twenties entered the elevator. She pressed the button for the first floor. We smiled. "Is this the first floor?" asked the woman to the man. "No, no, I think this is the second floor. The main entrance is on the See LIBRARY, page 5 Campus police, and programs offered By NICOLE SULLIVAN Pride StaffWriter Officer Carla Kayyon hopes that in the third week of February she can host a date rape and sexual assault class at the University Village Apartments or the Field house. She wants the class to be comfortable and with food and a discussion type setting and is open to everyone. Officer Kayyon was hired in March and is excited to see the things that will take place on campus. Last semester the university police offered two Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshops which teach women about rape awareness, prevention and self defense tactics. The University police want to offer more RAD workshops this semester. This spring the university police wants to have a DUI booth with sight impaired goggles and sobriety tests. Chief Schulteis said, "We have two goals here as the campus police. One, is to protect the community by enforcing the law and keeping the education process uninterrupted. And, two, we want to teach the community how to better protect themselves from crime and hazards." Chief Schulteis also said that he wants more officers to get specialization certificates, which can aid the community about awareness. More workshops like RAD, date rape and sexual assault, alcohol awareness programs and selfdefense workshops will be offered. Campus police also offers an escort service. A Community Service Officer (CSO), or an officer, will assist anyone to their car by simply calling extension 4567 at any one of the blue emergency phones located on campus. The escort service is there for anyone who needs it. Whether you're feeling ill, afraid to walk out to your car late at night or locked your keys in the car, a CSO or officer will be there to escort. \Officer Alex Mohn said, "We want to provide a better learning environment for the students and we want them to be able to come to school and not feel threatened. We don't want them to be afraid to call us and ask for an escort service. We want everyone to know that we are here to help the students and faculty." �L IBRARY from page 4 thirdfloor,"said the man. The woman said, "God, I was just asking a question." "Well, uh, I mean, uh, I think that the first floor is down and we are going to the third floor, which is the main level. Maybe that is the level you want." His tone was not sarcastic. He was probably being more helpful to someone who has serious anger issues than he needed to be. And then we all stood there in uncomfortable silence. I looked over at my friend and gave him the 'she is a psycho' face. He agreed. I then looked over and gave the man the same look. He responded by signaling to me with the 'I have no idea what just happened here' look. We all stood there in uncomfortable silence. We all arrived on the third floor. "I was just asking a fucking question. You fucking dick," said the woman. She seemed sort of flustered and tripped a little over the threshold as she exited. "I don't know what I said," said the man. "Hell if I know," I said. "But I know a certain someone who needs to not do lots of drugs before coming to school." We all had a good chuckle and walked off in separate directions. The woman on the elevator seemed frustrated. I can only assume she was frustrated because she was lost and not because of the answer she got to her question. P ILI© OR FIRST FLOOR: Maybe she was lost because not all posted in the ' RESTROOMS library are perfectly clear, yet. My friend and I prior to getting on the elevator were lost ourselves. Even a staff member we saw on the asylum-esque first floor warned us in passing not to get lost because it was easy to do. Her frustration does not, however excuse her bitchy demeanor.

ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter pondered their break. Kim said she didn't feel like she did anything at all, but upon further questioning the truth came out. "I went to L.A. and I went to Venice and If there's one thing this last week has taught CSUSM students, it's that the winter I.. .1 bought a bong," she said.

It's a chance to stash some cash towards the angina causing bookstore bill and the car payment size parking permit. Yolanda Miranda, senior, liberal studies, said it all with only a look when asked what she did over the break. "Just worked," she said. That's it? Nothing else? When the question was posed again the answer was the same. Miranda Chad Frank and Alicia Duwey did offer an extraordinary amount of find out exactly what did they do over the knowledge on men's suits and a few places to buy them, but that reflects how she pays semester break.

Chad went to New York City and hung out in Manhattan. His favorite part? "Wall Street, just to see everything, all the buildings," he said. Makes sense for a business major. Grand Central also topped his list as well as the World Trade Center and the massive space sixteen blocks of nothing. Chad's friend, Alicia Duwey, junior, communications, did nothing so exciting, but set herself up for future good times by moving from Escondido to Solana beach. "I wake up in the morning and I go ahhh. I drive home, and I go ahhh." In between her move Alicia found time for some much needed partying because as she said, "You have to get it all out." Friends Kim Raymon and Jenna Hill Ella DeSantis She works for an advertising firm and lives in a nice neighborhood downtown. When asked what she did, the reply was familiar, "I worked to pay for school and living expenses." By the time the next break rolls around, you'll find CSUSM students doing roughly the same as thé ones featured here. Some will take off on exciting vacations; Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, anywhere fun. Others will see some family and stay local, work summer jobs, maybe part-time, and bal- ance that with beach bonfires and trips to P.B. or their local watering hole. Others still will continue to work their full-time jobs but will have the stress of college temporarily removed and hopefully, find time to sneak away once in a while for a f un night out and some well deserved R&R. �%MKHAELDCEAN M ie Ombudsman Many things are new on campus this semester; The new Starbucks in the new Kellogg Library establishes a foothold for corporate America on our campus.

Schwarzenegger's proposed budget for the CSU By Cal St Univ Chancellor CHARLES B. REED Welcome to a new term at the California State University. I hope everyone had good holidays and that you are looking forward to your new classes. There have been significant developments on the state budget front, and I want to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on what we know about the CSU budget. As Governor Schwarzenegger's proposal makes its way through legislative hearings, we will need all of your help communicating with legislators to make sure that adequate funding is available so that the CSU can continue to offer highquality education to all of its 409,000 students. The governor proposed cutting $240 million or 9 percent from the California State University system for the 2004-05 fiscal year. This will potentially limit student access by approximately 20,000 students if the cuts are implemented as proposed. This new cut, combined with the 2003-04 General Fund budget cut of the critical role we play in the state's eco$531 million, means that our budget has nomic health. been cut in the past two years by $771 You probably have read or heard about million or a 28.8 percent reduction in state the governor's proposal to increase support for students. undergraduate fees by 10 percent, which .

Ifyou would like more information about the CSU's 2004-05 budget, please visit our website at http://www.calstate.edu/ BudgetCentral/index.shtml. The state budget crisis has created significant challenges for the CSU. We are focused on ensuring that our enrolled students get the courses they need to graduate. And, the CSU remains committed to its mission of providing a high-quality, accessible higher education for our students. To continue to do so, we need all 409,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff to convey a simple fact: that the CSU is working for California. We need everyone to talk about what a CSU education means, and what would happen if quality, access and affordability disappear from the California State University. We cannot let that happen. �m By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter A glass of sangría, the sound of the Brazilian drum, and the décor and ambiance of a typical Euro-Latin club makes it seem as if you are actually there, in Brazil. What better way to spend a Sunday night than to samba dancing at Café Sevilla? With good company at my side, my boyfriend Eric, and I tried to break the Sunday night monotony so we ventured off to the Gaslamp district downtown. There, we found ourselves at Café Sevilla on Fourth Avenue. Perhaps it was the Spanish tapas that we recently tasted in Sevilla's dining room that lured us back. We paid a $7 cover fee upon entering the club. Dance lessons had already started but we decided to join the fun, We could not help but laugh at the others and ourselves as we imitated a lady wearing a pink halter and bells on her hips. Moving to the rhythm twice as fast as most modern dance moves, we tried our best to catch on to the samba choreography. Believe it or not, there is a proper way to shake your hips, and the variations of hip shaking are what make the samba come alive. It is possible that the instructor's bells contributed to the liveliness as well. The fast paced, Latin soundtrack that we followed was very conducive to making the dance come alive. After about twenty minutes we were already improvising the steps and adding our own spice to the dance. It was refreshing to see that the others who surrounded us came in all different shapes, sizes, and levels of experience and confidence. An older gentleman brought his stuff with absolutely no concern for some comic relief with his bravado. Oppothe beat or particular style of the music. site from Eric and I, across the dance floor, On the other side, a group of college aged a goofy man in his late sixties was strutting girls looked as if they were rehearsing for the band to play. There is nothing like sangria, a refreshing blend of vino rojo, berries and apples, to compliment the evening. To our surprise, the band consisted of seven drummers. What kind of band is this without a keyboard, guitar, trumpet, or some type of instrumental variation? We waited in suspense as we began to doubt Brazilian night and wonder if we came to the club on the wrong night. The music did not sound like the upbeat Latin tune that we had heard on the soundtrack to "Woman on Top." It was a strange sort of culture shock that came over us, as we began to hear what was so unfamiliar. It sounded like a tribal dance. Evidently, the others around us felt the same way, as nobody except for the goofy old man and an unusually ecstatic lady were dancing. After the first couple of songs, the beat of the drum began to grow on us, as we found our way shaking across the floor, with about thirty to forty others. With the exception of a couple of cocktail sessions in between, Eric and I found it difficult to refrain from dancing. We agreed that it had truly been an enjoyable experience. No, it was not the typical samba music that we followed in the previous hour, or the sound and movement of Carmen Electra, but we experienced a Brazilian club without actually purchasing a plane ticket. Now, every Sunday night isfilledwith a touch of "little Brazil." Club Sevilla features live entertainment every night of the week. Brazilian night is every Sunday. Tuesday, Wednesday, . and Thursday, a salsa band plays live.

A :« Mi - »••••" T MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter Indie director and animator Sam Chen will spend this spring 2004 semester as resident filmmaker in the visual and performing arts department here at CSUSM. During his visit Chen will host a screening of his film S am C hen "Eternal Gaze," and he "will conduct eight workshops on the creative process of animation. The screening, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Monday, Feb. 2 in Arts 240. The computer-animated 16 minute film created by Chen, with music by composer Jamey Scott, is the winner of numerous accolades including the Best Animation award at the Siggrapph 2003 ClryAZ^E » A. • O ' & E THE PRIDE Award winning animator brings film and expertise to CSUSM I T -- M S Electronic Theater. Animation has been a medium often reserved for the fantastical stories of inhuman creatures. "Eternal Gaze" is different. This film chronicles the life of a real man. Chen's film pays homage to Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) a brilliant twentieth century surrealist sculptor, painter and draftsman who never received the acclaim of his contemporaries. In a statement Chen said, "With careful attention to historical facts and details, the works of art featured in this film are nearexact digital reproductions from Giacometti's lifework.. .But most of all, 'Eternal Gaze' is a heartfelt story and a loving tribute to one of the greatest but least recognized artists of our time." Giacometti, like many artists, suffered from a tormented mind. It gave him the inspiration and talent to create. At the same time, it frustrated him to the point of destroying his art when he felt he could not achieve his artistic vision. While giving us a look into the artist's mind and environment, "Eternal Gaze" illustrates the passionate relationship between the creator and his creation. Giacometti's sculptures were his love. In this film Chen givQS those sculptures the life they need to love him back. For an opportunity to learn from Chen, students, staff and faculty should contact Kristine Diekman at kdiekman@csusm.edu to reserve a seat in the workshops he will be hosting. Chen will be sharing his knowledge of story and character development, storyboarding and how to study human movement in order to animate it. He will also speak about how to work as an independent filmmaker Photo Courtsey of www.eternalgaze.com including pitching ideas, sell- Alberto Giacometti's face as painstakingly created by S am ing yourself and getting your Chen, director, writer and animator of "Eternal G aze." film seen.
