CSU ChanceUor:
budget is "not a

By KYLE OTTO
Pride StaffWriter
In a teleconference
last
Wednesday,
California
State University Chancellor
Charles B. Reed
discussed Gov.
S chwarzenegger's proposed
2004-05 budget CSU Chancelor
cuts, which may Charles B. Reed
result in student
fee increases, enrollment reductions, and elimination of EOP and other outreach programs.
The Governor's new proposal provides for a
$240 million net cut for the CSU system. On
top of the current year, this will result in a $568
million, or approximately 20 percent, budget
reduction, Chancellor Reed said.
In a Board of Trustees meeting last Thursday,
the Chancellor announced "an evolving tentative plan," which he summarized by saying,
"Because cuts over two to three years are so
big, we can no longer continue to serve as many

while Haynes delivered her inaugural speech.
"You are the reason for this university's existence," she told the crowd beforefieldingquestions and comments pertaining to her office.
The barbecue marked the second in two
weeks for ASI, which receives an allotment of

Roper. "On her first 'real day' on campus, she

Budget cuts are likely to impact
CSUSM once again as Governor
Schwarzenegger suggestsr removing
the
Educational
Opportunity
Program from California State
University campuses.
The EOP has been a part of the
CSU for almost 35 years, and has
been providing the opportunity
for low income, first generation,
and underrepresented students to
complete a higher level of education.
Providing
free
counseling,
academic workshops, supplemental
instruction, financial grants, and
many other student services, the
EOP serves almost 500 students on
the CSUSM campus.
The people here are great, I have
received help financially, and the
counselors here are very supportive
in our achievement and success,
said Janet Perez, a first generation
college student. Perez is one of
497 students at CSUSM who are
now receiving help from the Equal
Opportunity Program (EOP).
The governor's proposed cuts
will eliminate $36 million
dollars from the CSU budget across
23 campuses and impact thousands
of students, many of whom may
only have one or two semesters of
schooling left. CSUSM receives
approximately $500,000 annually
to keep this program running. The
governor's proposed budget would
cut about $74 million dollars from
the CSU and $52 million from
student outreach programs in
2004-2005, leaving the EOP, with
an entire budget of $37 million,
completely gone.
The results of the EOP program
at CSUSM have been remarkable,
financially and academically. Out
of the 309 EOP grants offered,
all were awarded. In addition,
EOP first-year student retention
rates range from the 90 percentile,
while regulatory CSUSM-admitted
first-time freshman only hit a 70.5
percent retention rate.
The program not only assists
EOP students financially, but it also
provides personal and academic
counselors. Students like Janet
Perez may use the retention center,
which provides a mini computer
lab, f ree printing for its students
and lent-out laptops for students
Proposition 56
would modify
budget process
By KEVIN BRABEC
Pride StaffWriter
Proposition 56 is on the March 2004 ballot in
order to change the requirements of the California budget-making process by modifying the^
state constitution. The areas iiivolved are the
state's budget and budget-related taxes.
If passed, the proposition would decrease the
. current two-thirds (67 percent) approval requirement to 55 percent approval f rom both houses
of the legislation. In other words, it would take
fewer votes on the proposed budget plan to get it
passed on to the next level. California is one of
three states — the others being Rhode Island and
Arkansas — that have a two-thirds requirement
in place.
Currently, if both houses of the legislature
approve the proposed budget by two-thirds or
mòre, the plan is then forwarded on to the governor for his approval. At that point it is up to the
governor to either approve it, thus putting it in to
affect, or to require changes and resubmission at
a later date. The governor has to sign a budget for
it to be put into affect, giving him the ultimate
say on the proposed budget. This leads into one
of the proposition's changes.

when they need them.
"Our goal at EOP is to support our
students in any way we can, said Lorena
Meza, Director of Student Support Services
and the Educational Opportunity Program.
We thrive on long term student success
through university access providing
academic advising and educational
counseling, and offering academic support.
That's why so many of our students are
successful."
Meza, who is a product of the EOP
herself, shared some insight on the cuts
that may occur as early as June of this
year. "The keystones of the CSU were
access and affordability, and now they are
targeting the neediest programs. People
often wonder why these students are
getting free photocopies, personalized
counseling, mid-semester evaluations and
grants, but they don't realize that many of
these students barely have any food to eat
at home."

The EOP, which does not target specific
ethnicities, age groups, or gender groups,
solely bases the student's eligibility on
total annual income. A student living as
an independent who makes no more than
$9,900 annually would be eligible for these
services and grants from the EOP. The
grants range from $400-$1000, and help
the students buy books, bus passes, and
other necessities.

students as we have been." The Chancellor proposed to the Board a 5 percent, or
approximately 20,000-student, enrollment
reduction plan uniformly among all 23
CSU campuses.
Enrollment reductions must be "immediately implemented," explained the Chancellor, "Because the application period
ended at the end of November. Students
are waiting to hear about being admitted
to CSU."
About 2 percent of the 5 percent reduction will be able to attend a community college in order to complete 60 hours of lower
GE requirements. Upon completion of an
AA degree, "we would guarantee them that
they could get into a CSU," stated Chancellor Reed. He further explained that this
proposed measure would save the CSU
system approximately $100 million.
The Governor's Office made four recommendations in lieu of the proposed budget
cuts:
First, the new budget set the following
fee structure: a 10 percent fee increase
for undergraduate students, 40 percent
for graduate students, and a 20 percent
increase for non-residents, on top of other
fees. Chancellor Reed expressed agreement with the Governor's policy recommendations for "a more stable fee policy."
"He has recommended a cap on fees based
upon personal income growth," said Chancellor Reed.
Second, the Governor recommended
CSU schools redirect 10 percent, or 4,000
first-time freshmen to community colleges.
Criteria have not yet been established for
"some fair and equitable basis" for determining which freshmen would be affected,
the Chancellor admitted, although he
affirmed, "we're going to really look hard
about how we can do that."
Third, Chancellor Reed expressed support for the Governor's proposed "Excess
.Credit Hour Policy," according to which
students taking more than 10 percent
above their required units for graduation
would be charged " full price." As a result,
students who now pay about 20 percent of
the cost for education, or about $2,000,
would pay about $10,000 in tuition. The
Chancellor noted, "We can work on that.
We think the policy ought to be about fif-
teen percent. Academic advising, course
offerings need to be a lot clearer. Maybe
we would only allow students to change
their major once."
Fourth, the Governor recommended
eliminating EOP (Education Opportunity
Program) and outreach programs, with
which the Chancellor summarily disagreed, stating that, "We can prove that
students that participated in EOP programs graduate at about a thirty percent
rate better than students that don't." He
responded to the proposal by saying, "We
think we can do something creative and
keep our EOP programs, rather than just
wipe them out. We would rather reduce
our enrollment than do away with our EOP
outreach programs."
Chancellor Reed invited students,
faculty, staff, and presidents to come to
the Chancellor's Office in February to a
planned Budget Summit to work on some
of the proposed ideas.
Chancellor Reed called the budget "not
a pretty picture," and expressed concern
that if the proposed $15 billion bond on the
March 2 ballot fails, "I'm afraid we're back
at ground zero, and the potential for cutting
the University goes up tremendously "
Proposition 55, an initiative on the
upcoming March ballot that could "get
California out of the hole," will be paid
back over 7 to 8 years, and will give $12.2
billion to public schools, community colleges, as well as the CSU and UC systems
for new building construction, with the
CSU share being approximately $770 million, explained Chancellor Reed.
The Chancellor expressed hope that students would support Prop. 55, urging them
that, "It is very important that all of our
students know how important this is."
In a last agenda item apart from, but
closely related to the budget, Chancellor
Reed emphasized the need to publicize
information concerning Cal Grant programs. "California is fortunate that we
have a very good financial aid program.
Many of our students qualify for Cal
Grants, but many of our students don't
know the deadline to apply." He compelled students to acquire Cal Grant forms
at the Financial Aid Office, to have them
completed and post-marked before the
March 2 deadline. "Tens of thousands of
our students are eligible for Cal Grants," he
stated, who will miss their opportunity if
the deadline expires.

�University Voice:
What do you think
about the primary?
By TOR FREED
Pride StaffWriter
It seems the red planet is
much more familiar and probably a whole lot more exciting
than democratic candidates
facing each other to see who
will get the nomination and
the arduous task of facing
George Bush in the upcoming
presidential elections.
For those who missed it,
Howard Dean has been the
democratic front-runner on
his anti-war, anti-Bush campaign but his angry tirades
have left many democrats
doubting his ability to lead
the country. This became
apparent when presidential
hopeful John Kerry won the
caucas in Iowa and New
Hampshire despite endorsements for Dean by former
vice-president A1 Gore and
other influential democrats.
Even more amazing is that
Kerry's political campaign
was close to having the last
nail in the coffin before this
stunning turnaround. This is
hugely important for democrats because Kerry, former
Vietnam veteran and Purple
Heart recipient, has a chance
against Bush and those wanting a strong military. Vbters
on the fence cannot overlook
this.
The Pride ventured out
among the students to see
what they felt about this new
turn of events.
Gary Taylor, senior and
former veteran seemed like a
good start. Taylor is president
of the CSUSM veterans association and describes himself
as a former 'train fighter'
after falling into a train in
Bosnia that rendered his left
arm disabled and missing part
of his left leg. An ambitious
man taking eighteen units and
continuing on to law school,
Taylor was bound to have
an opinion about the latest
events.
"I haven't had time to pay
attention because I carry eighteen units," said Taylor. "I
was leaning towards Wesley
Clark until he compared
Bush with a two-bit dictator,
not very professional for a
general."
Taylor doubts very seriously if he will consider
voting for a democrat.
Melissa Thompson, senior,
has not been paying close
attention.
She was busy
doing some sort of advanced
math when The Pride posed
the question.
Thompson said, "Howard
Dean's rampage strengthens
Bush's chances for re-election."
A trip to the T.K.E. pledge
stand might have been a bad
idea considering that when I
asked about the democratic
turn of events the response
was, "Dude, I 've been sleeping all day, why don't you ask
one of those guys?" I asked
one of those guys, and he said
he had no clue and what was
going on with that.
Amy Weaver, junior^ said
she understood the implications, and if a democratic
hopeful could inject some
much needed money into the
education system.
Photo by Tor Freed/The Pride
G ary Taylor
"No, I was not aware (of
Kerry's win) of that," Weaver
said. "I try not to watch the
news, the local news. I try to
watch C.N.N but I haven't had
time since school started."
When asked if a democratic
president could help the
budget crisis looming at CSU
universities Weaver said, "I
think the democrats and the
republicans agree on a lot of
the same things. The platform
issues. And unfortunately,
education is going to suffer.
Even Bush is for education,
his wife is a teacher."
Ashley Stuart, sophomore,
was the only person I interviewed who knew about
Kerry's win, but she was not
happy with the process.
"What really drives me
crazy is all the finger pointing. (Candidates) don't really
seem to care about people,"
said Stuart. "And the ads,
they drive me crazy too, it's
all Hollywood."
Stuart also said that neither
party is going to help reverse
the downward trend in spending on education.
"I really don't see any big
change with regards to party."
"I don't pay attention to that
stuff until they're here in California," said junior, Stephanie
Allen. "I won't know everything, but I 'll know a little."

The VPA auditorium seats 150 people and hosts Arts and Lecture series events, such as dance.
Dance program global and growing
By LAURA WHITAKER
Pride Staff Writer
Professor Karen Schaffman brings not only what
she calls her post-modern approach to dance to the
campus, but a very global awareness of dance.
Much to my surprise (and delight) there is
more going on in the CSUSM Dance Program
than I thought. A small but strong division of the
Visual and Performing Arts Department, the Dance
Program was originally taught off-campus at the
Escondido Center for The Arts by adjunct faculty.
In the last few years, however, Professor Schaffman
arrived, bringing the classes on campus, and giving
the program a whole new spin.
Schaffman teaches several classes, including
Global Modern Dance, which focuses on world
dance forms.
"The dance program is very interdisciplinary
right now," Schaffman said. " I'm very interested in
mixing dance with video and sampled music."
She also facilitates a modern dance class in contemporary technique, and a choreography workshop
which run back to back on Monday and Wednesday
for those interested in movement classes. In addition to this, there is a new Dance 10Í class based
on dance appreciation, and a class that crosses with
women's studies called Women in Performance
Choreography.
In fact, there are some new classes in the works,
including a history of modern and postmodern
dance, and a course on dance and new media.
Schaffinan is currently working collaboratively with
Kristine Diekman, Tony Allard, and William Bradbury on such multimedia based endeavors.
In the past few years, the dance program has
hosted numerous performances and artist residencies for companies such as Urban Bush Women,
Korean National University of the Arts, as well as
African, Filipino, and local performance styles.
In regard to campus-wide dance activities go,
Laurence Bolotin, the ASI coordinator of student
programs and services, has helped put together
free fitness and leisure courses in the Clarke Field
House. Among these are included a Belly Dancing
and an African Dance class. ASI is also forming a
iiip-hop group called Jam Control.
As far as the future of the dance program, "It
looks to expanding dance by bringing it into other
disciplines," said Schaffinan. This fall there will
even be a minor in dance available for interested
students. "The future for dance at San Marcos is
growing," Schaffinan said. "Come take a class."

Now that Cal State University San Marcos has this big beautiful
brand new library, you could be wondering why the building
is named after a cereal company. Well it's true. William Keith
Kellogg II, who grew up learning the family business in a cereal
factory, and Janet "Jean" Kellogg, both are who our library is named
after.
William Keith Kellogg II learned the family business from his
grandfather Kellogg in Battle Creek, Michigan. Now, William Keith
and Janet "Jean" Kellogg are well known for their long history of
philanthropy with many institutions.
Senior Kellogg started the W. K. Kellogg Foundation in the 1930's.
He donated a major portion of his fortune, including donating his
800-acre ranch in Pomona, his herd of registered Arabian horses and
$600,000 to the University of California; which would establish the
ranch site for Cal Poly Pomona.
The naming processes of CSU buildings works, in that, the names
are approved by the Cal State University Board of Trustees upon
the recommendation of the campus. The trustees consider the donor
and her pr his background, the donor's history or relationship with
the campus and the amount of the donation. The amount must
be substantial and in relation the Kellogg's have asked to keep it
private. We can tell you that the donation was in the seven figures
range.
The Kellogg's have been long time supporters of CSUSM since
1997. One of their first gifts to the CSUSM campus helped
complete preliminary planning so that the library project was moved
up on the CSU priority list, and resulted in the building being
completed several years before the original planned date.
The Kellogg's did not just give their money but encouraged others
to donate as well. This strategy is used in a manner that when, for
example, $1 is given, the match doubles the gift to $2.

�Don't kick the ladder out from those who depend on it
Even if California is in
trouble, EOP
should be left
standing
California is not the state
we would like it to be. We
want our people looked
after; we want a health
state.
OfrC
tz> E e A S o M
Even during these times,
California is not in such a
state of shock that we can't
support our Educational
Opportunity
Programs
(EOP). Gov. Schwarzenegger proposes to do so next
semester.
When the Governor
revoked $23.7 from the
CSU last semester he
started a chain reaction.
The latest is that Schwarzenegger illegally repealed
the triple car tax last year.
He replaced that fee by
decreasing support to UC
and CSU schools. Basically he's kicking the ladder
out from those who depend
on it.
A group of college students, namely in the UC
system, is suing the Governor. They found a law
saying the tax can only be
lowered if there is enough
money in the California's
fund to cover existing
programs, like Cal State's
EOP.
Cindy Gutierrez, a student enrolled in EOP, said
she could have gone to
college without the outreach, but it's hard to say.
She started in AVID while
younger, and then got into
college programs.
One point she made clear
though — not all students
at CSUSM would be here
now without the outreach
programs. EOP helps those
students stay in v school
when they get here.
Some in the nation say
that the EOP and outreach
programs are a waste of
money — taxpayer money.
The Citizens Against Gov-
$110 million for the next
year-and-a-half.
California's budget is
obviously an issue.
But in a state where
the median home costs
$430,000 dollars, why can't
Californians give the $110
million to support the EOP
and outreach programs in
both the CSU and the UC
systems.
They can, and that's the
burden of EOP.

Partying or studying ever
cause you pain when trying to
wake up after a long night of
doing either? Weli one well
known way of surviving long
lecture classes is some coffee.
Whether you like just plain
old coffee with crème and
sugar from 7-11 or a double
whipped, fat free, extra hot,
grande, carmel mocciatto
from Starbucks , a coffee shop
is a wonderful sight to your
tired eyes. But if you ask me
enough is enough. You can
now find a Starbucks on every
street corner in every major
city in the United States. I
also heard through the grape

report stating that the outreach and EOP programs
are higher education marketing ploys that have no
purpose. What they're not
mentioning is the market
that higher education is
soliciting to. That's the
point — reaching students
that normally wouldn't
make it into college.
If we look at California's

vine that there is one opening
up in the temples of Nepal.
Starbucks has invaded the
United States faster than Juan
Valdez can say no bueno.
And now we've allowed it
to invade our campus. Their
overpriced coffee is about to
put the little refreshment cart
in front of Academic Hall out
of business — the epitome of
the corporate giant swallowing up the little mom and pop
stores. But it seems the trend is
here to say. Starbucks seems to
be a very profitable company
to invest in. How do I know?
Well maybe the fact that not
only is there one on campus
but there is another one about
a quarter mile down the road
in the Ralph's shopping center
tells me. I also know of a few
other spots in San Diego where
Starbucks shops are within
a quarter mile of each other.
How much more trendy can
it get? It will be scary when
property values go up due to
a Starbucks being built in a
neighborhood. But at the rate
Starbucks is going, I wouldn't
totally dismiss the idea.
Starbucks is a billion dollar
company and I don't think the
removal of the one on campus
will break the company. I
do know that it would probably save the livelihood of the
person who owns the little cart
in front of Academic Hall if we
remove the Starbucks. It would
help us students a lot more to
put a store like a Costco for
books. Cheaper books store not
overpriced coffee.

Last week's edition of The

fear that the goodness o f that
issue might have been missed
since I still have not received
any. feedback this semester.
Not one word of praise or the
more popular criticism of The
Pride, that is often astute and
helpful, has come my way in
the first couple of weeks»
I am adamant about wanting reader feedback since
that is what the ombudsman
is here to manage: the focus
of my column is to facilitate
your thoughts into constructive improvements of both
the quality and the content of
The Pride.
I know there are many of
you out there who have strong
opinions about The Pride.
If you need some ideas for
responses, I could think of a
couple of prompts. One question I think should be asked
of The Pride is why is it that
The Pride has not conducted
an interview with our university's new president, Karen
Haynes, yet this semester? A
new president greatly affects
our campus and the absence
of an interview with her in the
first two issues is enough to
spatk some criticism, I think.
I feel Chancellor Reed's
article about the proposed
budget for the CSU and
the consequences of that
budget is enough to spark
some inquiries as well. The
impending budget cuts stand
to reduce the availability of
classes and increase fees into
the future. H ie Pride will be
covering stories concerning
the budget calamity throughout the semester. Let me
know if there is a particular
aspect of program being cut
or an inconvenience that
needs to be addressed and it
will be considered.

San Marcos native creates
versatile bar and grill
Hot spot to offer food, Jim,
and proximity to campus
By M O M J E VELARDE
Pride StaffWriter
The owners of The
Blvd Bar and Grill, a new
restaurant/club on San
Marcos Blvd in San Marcos,
hope that it will be the place
where college students find
their hangout.
A San Marcos native,
co-owner Jason Simmons
wants the Blvd to be a versatile establishment where
the entire community can
feel at home. "We kind of
look at this place as San
Marcos's palate, and let the
customers and the clientele
and the community paint the
picture."
In shaping a place which
appeals to all facets of the
community, the owners
have kept the college students in mind. The Blvd
brings an urban, beach-style
atmosphere to inland San
Marcos, giving local college
students a fresh, modern
venue to call their own.
The spacious, newly finished dining room with a
large stage and dance floor,
offers sleek, black booths
and a full bar. The walls,

Bartenders Troy Payton, Aaron Mock (above left) and Shawn
Cameron (above) show off their skills behind the bar.
although freshly painted,
have an aged, Spanish look
about them. There is also a
ten foot projection screen.
The Blvd's outdoor patio
area takes inspiration from
the beach, with its two lava
rock fire pits and a glass
waterfall that lights up at
night. There is an outside
bar as well.
There is also a room
known as the "Dragon
Lounge," because it used
to be a Chinese restaurant.
Offsetfromthe main dining
room, the Dragon Lounge
is smaller with a full bar,
plasma screen TVs, red
light fixtures, and carved
doors.
Realizing the diversity
within the college community itself, the Blvd will
offer a variety of options
for students. "Most of the
college students in this area
have very limited choices,"
Simmons states, "so we're
trying to provide as many
choices as possible within
our own venue."
The Blvd will feature different music throughout the
week including punk rock,
reggae, hip hop, jazz, and
acoustic bands.
The menu is reasonably
priced and provides variety
as well, with an extensive
selection of appetizers—
ranging from corn dogs to
coconut
shrimp—salads,
pastas, and half pound burgers.
Simmons adds that initial
conversations between the
Blvd and CSUSM have
begun, hoping to create
a community between
the Blvd and the college.
Sometime in the spring, he
wishes to host festivals in
the dorm's quad. Simmons
has also initiated discussion
with the art department on
campus.
The Blvd was fully opened
for business Saturday, January '31, and Simmons looks
forward to seeing how the
community will respond
to the Blvd in the weeks
to come. "We don't know
exactly what we're going to
end up with in three months
or three years, or whatever it
is, but the market and community will kind of dictate
to us what they want to see
happening here."
Simmons and the other
owners hope to eventually
expand the Blvd to San
Diego and Orange County.
'A date w9ith Tad
Hamilton a tad
bit predictable
By ZELYNDA SMITH
Pride StaffWriter
If you haven't already seen
"Win A Date With Tad Hamilton," but you've seen other teen
aged romantic comedies, you can
pretty much understand the concept of this one.
Topher Grace, from the hit
T.V. series "That 70's Show,"
plays Pete, a focused and warmhearted supermarket manager in
Frasier's Bottom, West Virginia.
He suffers from a childhood
crush on his co-worker Rosalie
(Kate Bosworth) that eventually
evolved into much more.
Over the years the two remain
the best of friends. But when
she wins a date with her dream
guy, Hollywood heart-throb, Tad
Hamilton (Josh Duhamel), things
get a bit more interesting.
Blinded by his Hollywood
image Rosalie fails to see Tad's
true colors. Tad becomes convinced that she has more to offer
then the big-shot models that he's
used to dating. She proves that
she can be just as captivating
without sacrificing her morals
and for the first time Hollywood's
leading man falls in love.
Meanwhile, Tad and Pete continuously compete for her affection
and the question that the movie
proposes is inevitably: Do nice
guys really finish last?
Although the movies plot line
was cliché, the writing wasn't
terrible. At times I really felt
Rosalie's happiness as well as her
indecision.
Photo courtesy of DreamWorks Pictures
Topher Grace and Kate Bosworth play small town grocery store employees that are
star struck when a famous actor played by Josh Duhamel c omes to town.
Unfortunately there were
times when the movie tended to
be all too predictable. I caught
my mind wandering out of the
story and wondering why Rosalie's eyes were two different
colors (I'm almost positive that
Director, Robert Luketic, didn't
want his audience to focus on
that), so a twist in the story
would have been welcome. The
soundtrack was a big help to my
enjoyment of this film. It was
upbeat and sassy. From Barry
White to Jewel, this soundtrack
won the movie some major
points. Overall, "Win A Date
With Tad Hamilton" helps jolt
the memory of that first love and
all the essential steps that it took
to get it.
