Pride Editor
CSU faculty members are
working in excess of 50 hours per
week, according to the results of
a recent study. Released on Feb.
20, the study examined changes
in the amount and type of work
being conducted by faculty.
Compared to a similar study
conducted in 1990, the amount
of time spent teaching and stu
dent advising has not increased,
but the amount pf time* spent
on activities outside the class
room has added approximately
two hours per week to faculty
workload.
As quoted in the North
County Times, George Diehr,
California Faculty Association
(CFA) chapter president and
CSUSM College of Business
Administration faculty, said the
findings may be a way for fac
ulty to receive more time off for
research and that CSUSM now

ulty.”
The study attributed the
increase in scholarly activities'
and research to the expansion of
the faculty’s knowledge base and
the addition of younger faculty
members. In addition, the CSU
now has a larger, more complex
student body, new technology,
and a broader social spectrum,
which Contributes to more diverse
and challenging work for fac
ulty.
“CSU faculty members are
hard-working, committed to their
students, engaged in a wide range
of scholarly and creative activ
ities, and [they are] energetic
in reaching into their communi
ties,” said David Spence, CSU
executive vice chancellor and
chief academic officer, in a uni
versity press release.
The study, conducted in 2001,
included 2,547 faculty members
at 22 CSU campuses. Tenuffed
two-thirds of the contributing
participants.
In addition to this study, Ana
lytic Studies designed a survey
to find out how students rate
their college experience. Find
ings indicated that professors
at CSUSM spend a lower than
, average amount of time inter
acting with students outside the
classroom. The disproportionate
amount of time was attributed to
the fact that CSUSM is a com
muter campus, students don’t
stick around to talk, and they go
to work.
The CSU is now in the pro
cess of conducting a similar
survey of tenured and tenuretrack faculty at other universities
around the nation that are com
parable to the CSU. The results
will be available in the fall and

ASI President
Jocelyn Brown
I am a biology major and will
be graduating in Spring 2003.
During my four years at Cal
State San Marcos, I have been
actively involved in represent
ing the student voice, advocating
for student’s rights and improv
ing and enriching campus life.
I have three years experience in
ASI and currently serve as your
ASI vice president of External
Affairs.
At this last year I initiated,
coordinated and participated in
many ASI events and programs.
In my capacity as vice president
of External Affairs, I am one
of two representatives from our
campus that sits on the California
State Student Association(CSSA),
which is a statewide student asso
ciation that represents the voice
of 380,000 CSU students to the
board of trustees. I also chair the
ASI External Affairs Committee,
which siphons information from
the statewide level down to the
students at our campus, includ
ing legislation, voter registration,
CSU policies, and campus pride
initiatives. Aside from my role
as vice president, I am also the
vice chair for the University Stu
dent Union Advisory Board and
an active member in the Envi
ronmental Club.
From my involvement, I have
gained a vast knowledge of ASI
and the university at large. I
believe that this gives me the
ability to transition easily into the
role of president, leaving more
time to hear, represent and seek
the student voice. I feel confi

Last Wednesday a power
outage hit Cal State San Marcos.
Students and faculty alike were
left without electricity from 11:15
a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
CSUSM student Jessica
Smith said, “I had to take two of
my exams in the dark. All of the
students gathered by the win
dows or sat under the emergency
hallway lights to take the test.
Out of all the buildings Univer
sity Hall was the worst because
there are hardly any windows.”
“It was total chaos, I had to
let my class go and just after
the students left the power came
back on,” said Tom Menden
hall, a teacher’s assistant in the
Literature and Writing Studies
Department.
According to San Diego Gas
and Electric (SDG&E), “The
outage prevented a potential,
uncontrollable blackout in the
San Diego area. The California
Independent System Operator
(Cal-ISO) ordered SDG&E to
drop 300 MW of power imme
diately. The resulting outage
affected 101 circuits at 11 sub
stations that serve portions of the
following communities: Blos
som Valley, Bonita, Carlsbad,
Chula Vista, City Heights, El
Cajon, Escondido, Fletcher Hills,
Highland Valley, La Mesa, Lake

Even though CSUSM has a
generator it only provides light
to some elevators and emergency
halls. The Dome, Cougar Store
and many other offices had to
close due to the power outage.

Anza-Borrego but each
attempt was unsuccessful.
Hamilton changed his plea
in November to guilty while at
the same time promising to find
Vasseur’s body. No reason was
given for Hamilton’s attempt to
change his plea, as stated in the
North County Times.
“We can’t do much without
him telling us the truth,” Hendren said.
The suspicion fell to Hamil
ton early due to his never return
ing to work after Sept. 22, fleeing
from police five days after Vas
seur’s disappearance and a previ
ous incident in which Hamilton
blocked Vasseur from leaving
his home until she hit him.
At the preliminary hearing,
witnesses testified that Hamilton
said he killed Vasseur by acci
dent during a fight with her and
dumped her body in the desert,
according to the North County
Times.
Prosecutors said Hamilton
killed Vasseur when she tried to
break off an affair with him, as
reported previously.
According to court papers,
Hamilton had a history of vio
lence toward women. A Wild
Animal Park co-worker alleged
that Hamilton sexually harassed
her while in a primate exhibit
in 1985. Hamilton also allegedly
punched another woman with a
closed fist and gave her a black
eye.
Vasseur’ husband, Charles,
^
said to the North County Times
that he now has little hope
his wife’s remains will ever be
found. “I usually go out every
once in awhile and look,” said
Charles Vasseur last November.
Financial Aid Director
»>Article cont. from pg. 1.
The advice Rizvi gives to
students is to research schol
arships and their requirements,
understand deadlines and state
requirements, and notify the
office of any changes.
According to Rizvi, the
financial aid office has more reg
ulations than the bank industry.
He said, “While we give the
money or checks to students,
there are a lot of things going
on in the back room. We have
to keep in compliance with state
standards.”
All the CSU system finan
cial aid offices would eventu
ally move to a new system, as
instructed by the chancellor, but
Rizvi’s current concentration is
on utilizing all the capabilities
of the current system.
Rizvi has a programming
diploma and a master’s degree
in Educational Counseling from
National University in San
Diego. He learned about the
opening at financial md through
his membership in California
Association of Financial Aid
Administrators (CASFA), which
provides a list of job postings.
Rizvi said he was not looking
for a job, but he saw the open
ing and became interested. He
researched the position and
became increasingly interested
in the position when he was
exposed to the technology and
student-friendly service offered
by the office.
Rizvi replaced Paul Phillips,
the former director of Financial
Aid and Scholarship Office. Phil
lips left the position last Decem
ber, which he had held since
the establishment of CSUSM in
1989.
Before coming to CSUSM,
Rizvi worked for USA Funds,
the biggest national student loan
company. He held the position of
national director for two years,
which ran a program with about
a $5 million budget. Rizvi said
that he was chosen out of 120
candidates and conducted 39
focus groups to help parents of
college students deal with loan
debts and to help students them
selves deal with college debt.

to bring unity to our very diverse

belief of others at Cal State San
Marcos that we have very little
student campus life at our univer
sity. I believe that I can unite our
campus and give the students an
active and vibrant campus life. I
am the chairwoman of the Col

and am involved with several

the College Republicans, I have
attained good leadership qual

Shannon Barnett
“How can I get involved
on this campus?” was the first
question I asked when I arrived
last semester as an incoming
freshman. My name is Shannon
Barnett, and I am running for
undergraduate representative. My
major is liberal studies. Since
asking my first question about
getting involved, I have found a.
variety of answers. First semes
ter, I was in the Emerging Lead
ers Program. Currently, I am
chair of the ASI Programming
Committee, an orientation teamlLeader, co-captain of the ASI
Women’s Club lacrosse team, and
philanthropy chair and assistant
rush of Alpha Chi Omega.
These
activities
have
enhanced my leadership abilities
while keeping me organized and
well rounded. On a new campus
where involvement is scarce and
many students are unaware of
what really goes on in ASI,
I realize the importance of a
great undergraduate representa
tive. This campus lacks commu
nity; I plan to take my knowledge
and experiences and build upon
them to establish goals we need
to bring the student body, ASI
and the faculty together. I will
facilitate student needs by listen
ing to the concerns and ideas of
the entire student body. We need
to voice our opinions and have
them heard. I urge you to take a
stand for your future. Vote for me,
Shannon Barnett, for undergrad

this campus a place for you.

undergraduate representative. As
a member of Alpha Xi Delta,
I have learned leadership skills,
participated in community ser
vice, as well as campus activities,
and I know what it tak§s to repre
sent a community of students. A
representative speaks on behalf of
the students he or she represents.
I want to add more sports, activ
ities, and clubs to this campus.
I am the voice that will make
these things happen, and I will
do all in my power to make this
campus great and a campus each
and every student hopes for.
Marc DeGuzman
Leadership can be defined
as creating a positive social
change in a person’s life. As a
freshman majoring in business
administration with an emphasis
in high-tech management, I see
the potential this college pos
sesses to transform from a com
muter school into a place where
active college life flourishes. Col
lege life is not just going to dif
ferent classes. It is a journey
that students choose to embark
on, filled with life long lessons
and outlets to the “real world.”
I want to help expand the pro
grams and activities already pres
ent, increase student involvement,
voice student opinions and con
cerns, and bring their ideas out
in the open. I believe that I
am qualified to be an under
graduate representative because
I posses leadership qualities and
have applied them in past experi
ences. By joining a fraternity on
campus, I have learned to interact
with other students on a deeper
level. Through many leadership
conventions and programs, I have
learned different types of lead
ership styles and have developed
my own. I feel I am dedicated,
responsible, and capable of taking
the initiative to accomplish tasks
successfully. Finally, I possess
the desire to impact other peo
ple’s lives in a positive manner.
Angineen Lynnae Hardin
As a recent graduate of the
class of2001 from Mount Carmel
High School, let me introduce
myself. I am Angineen (Angi) L.
Hardin and am currently a second
semester freshman majoring in
psychology. Throughout high
school I was heavily involved in
several clubs, organizations and
sports..I participated in tennis,
basketball and track. I was an
active member in Key Club and
Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
a peer advocate and academic
tutor. I held leadership positions
in our African American Student
Alliance such as historian, vice
president and president. I was
also honored with “Who’s Who
Among American High School
Students” award for two consec
utive years. I have given the same
dedication to my college career.
I am currently the publicity coor
dinator for the Pan African Stu
dent Alliance here on campus
and the assistant to the coordi
nator of Academic Assistance of
EOP/ASPIRE, Josephine Jones.
I’m very excited about attend
ing a new university. I believe
becoming ASI undergraduate
representative will be the perfect
opportunity to learn more about
CSUSM and give me the oppor
tunity to be a part of several
groundbreaking projects as the
expansion and development of
this university continues. I am a
passionate student who is will
ing and ready to accept the
responsibility of representing my
fellow undergrads as we develop
CSUSM into our home.
College of Arts & Sciences
Representative
Kristie McMullen
I’m running for the represen
tative of the College of Arts &
Sciences from the Education Col
lege perspective. I am a liberal
studies major with a sociology
minor. I have attended CSUSM
for the past three years. In this
time of being a cougar, I have
seen many things improve and
change for the better. Change and
improvement is what I am all
about.
I have been sitting on the ASI
Board of Directors as the under
graduate representative for the
past five months. In this time, I
have learned what it is to be a
representative of the students. I
know that you all want a dedi
cated individual who is willing
to stand up for your wants and
needs. For example, the parking
permit-zoning situation was pre
sented to me at a board meeting,
and I made sure many of you
were able to voice your opinions
and thoughts. In doing this we,
the student body, shut the pro
posal down. I want to be able to
serve each individual at CSUSM
with as much voice as I can.
Maria F. Schroeder
I am applying for the posi
tion of the College of Arts and
Sciences representative. I want
to be your voice, and voice your
concerns to the leadership of
CSUSM. As a communication
major with a Spanish minor, I am
more than qualified to accom
plish this mission. Throughout
my three years at Cal Stat San
Marcos, I have been active on
campus, primarily by being active
in my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega.
In this organization I have held
various elected positions. Of these
positions, one of the most impor
tant was as Alpha Chi Omega’s
representative to the Women’s
Greek Council. As a delegate on
the council, I voted on various
issues important to the Women’s
Greek community. This experi
ence has prepared me to be your
College of Arts and Sciences rep
resentative. I believe a student
representative should have an
open mind, be proactive in voic
ing student concerns to the lead
ership of CSUSM, and always
maintain an open door policy.
If elected, I promise to respect
every student concern that comes
to my attention, and to deal with
those concerns in an expeditious,
prudent, and unbiased manner. If
you want a College of Arts and
Sciences representative that is
dedicated to hearing your ideas,
being your voice, and making
sure that your voice gets heard,
then vote for me, Maria Fernanda
Schroeder.
Shannon Tweed
I’m a full time junior with a
major in human development.
I am running for the position
of College of Arts & Sciences
representative for ASI. I am an
active student member in the
Human Development and Vet
eran’s Association clubs. I am
also an EOP peer mentor on
campus, which has provided me
with knowledge and experience
to assist students within my col
lege while they navigate through
this bureaucratic system.
I am the best choice for Col
lege of Arts & Sciences represen
tative because as a U.S. Marine
Veteran, I have the discipline, loy
alty, and commitment to address
the interests, needs and concerns
of the student body in the Col
lege of Arts &1Sciences. So vote
for me, Shannon Tweed.
College of Business Representative
Matthew E. Coultas
My intention, and overall
responsibility, is to bring the opin
ions of the students enrolled in
the College of Business Admin
istration (CoBA) program to the
attention of the ASI governing
board. In doing so, I will voice
an accurate and forthcoming rep
resentation of the wishes and
concerns of those in the CoBA
program. I will be responsible
and dependable in the course of
carrying out the requirements of
the college of business represen
tative position. By performing
my duties in an honest and faith
ful manner, I intend to become
an asset to both ASI as well as
the general student population.
Deanna C. Garcia
I am running for College
of Business representative. This
is my sixth semester at Cal
State San Marcos, and I am work
ing on my bachelor’s degree in
business administration-service
sector management. Currently, I
am involved in a club on campus
and have held two executive posi
tions, one minor position, and
have served on two committees
within the organization. These
positions has given me the oppor
tunity to work closely with the
executive board to make deci
sions that benefit the group as a
whole. I will bring many ideas,
suggestions, an unbiased opinion
and a good attitude to ASI. I plan
to address all interests, needs and
concerns of the student body of
the College of Business as well
as insure that the mission state
ment of Cal. State San Marcos is
upheld in the College of Business
Administration.
Terra Nelson
I’m running for the position
of ASI representative for the Col
lege of Business Administration.
If elected, I will be a new face
to ASI; however, I am an old
one here at CSUSM. I have been
attending CSUSM since 1998,
and I intend to graduate with
a business degree in the spring
of 2003. As I enter my eighth
semester here at CSUSM, I have
decided to join ASI because I
want to bring freshness to the
team and allow different voices
and concerns on campus to be
heard.
I would be proud to serve
in ASI because I believe in the
values of intellectual engagement,
community, integrity, innovation,
and inclusiveness at CSUSM.
Implementing these values will
help me fulfill the vision of
CSUSM becoming a distinctive
public university in all facets of
academic excellence, service to
the community, and improving
learning by new innovative meth
ods.
Since our college is so young,
I hope to be a part of a team
that will lay a strong foundation
not only for today’s students, but
also for the students of tomor
row. I’m asking for the opportu
nity to build and share the vision
of CSUSM and develop a distinc
tive school that we are proud to
call our own.
Scott O’Hare
I’m enrolled in the College of

ing in high technology manage

office of ASI representative for
the College of Business Admin

“ Butt O u t ”
This is a response to the arti
cle “Stop It!” I found the lan
guage quite abrasive and laden
with messages of guilt. How
ever, I do realize tlie importance
of what was written. Personally,
I do not allow family or friends
to extinguish cigarettes at my
home by snuffing them out wher
ever they like, but my home is not
an institution. The staff writer
who wrote this article could
have better facilitated effective
communication by mentioning
how well our campus looks and
how, in the effort to maintain its
beauty, students could make an
active effort to dispose of their
cigarettes in their proper place.
Furthermore, I find the imag
ery used to get the point across
ludicrous: “I catch myself dodg
ing them as I walk to and fro.”
The better approach to a mes
sage such as this is by using
positive powers of persuasion,
not trying to heap upon smokers
an insurmountable level of guilt.
Reading The Pride, I believe,
is for the purpose of assessing
the progress and development of
its staff and students, measuring
how much we have achieved and
discussing our future ambitions.

The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep, the vortex of
their minds ensconsed within the murky deep.
The infirmity of man is brought on by his selfish core.
So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end, and
we're the only ones who can perceive it. But others sing of beauty
and the story that has unfolded as one that deserves praise and
ritual. My pessimistic lines, your superstitious lives, and the modem
age's lies won't absolve you. And the professional truth and the
dear clairvoyant youth, and, of course, the nightly news will deceive
you.

For those of you to whom this is
groundbreaking news, WAKE UP!
Yes, Cal State San Marcos has a
surf team and has had four com
petitions during the regular season.
ASI added surfing to its list of
approved club sports on January 25.
The team is small at the moment,
but has all the potential to become
lively and popular within the next
year and beyond. The surf team
joined 23 teams at the Seaside
Reef competition over President’s
Day weekend and took sixth place.
Shortboarder Jeff Fairbanks earned
20 points for the team, longboarder
Dustin Franks earned 18 and after
winning three consecutive heats,
also took first place in the College
Longboard Division. Fairbanks was
a key player in this competition;
shredding through five rounds and
just missing advancement to the
college men’s final. He took sev
enth place overall. George Demarino, the team’s bodyboarder, had a
strong supporting role, earning 13
points for the team and taking sixth
place overall.

of The Pride for the results of

What is the difference
between the Olympics and Para
lympics?
Unlike the Olympics, the
Paralympics use a classification
system that enables athletes to
compete on an equal level: all
athletes compete with a pre
determined degree of disability.
Athletes are divided into
three categories: LW classes
(competitors
with
_
locomotive disabil
ities), sitting LW
classes, and B classes
(competitors
with
visual impairment).
was introduced by athletes at
the Innsbruck 1984 Paralympic
Winter Games. Since then, cross
country skiing events have been
split into two separate races: clas
sical and free technique, accord
ing to the Paralympics 2002 web
site.
Alpine Skiing
Men and women will com
pete in four alpine skiing dis
ciplines during the Salt Lake
2002 Paralympic Winter Games:
downhill, super-G, giant slalom
and slalom.
Courses differ in length, ver
tical drop and number of gates,
all of which dictate the skier’s
technique and speed, according
to the Paralympics 2002 web
site.
Giant slalom and slalom
skiing events have been medal
events since the first Paralympic
Games. Downhill was added at
the Innsbruck 1984‘Paralympic
Winter Games, and super-G at
the Lillehammer 1994 Paralym
pic Winter Games.
Ice Sledge Hockey

despite their physical impair
ment, wanted to continue playing
hockey, as stated on the Para
lympics 2002 web site.
The athletes use a modified
metal frame sled with two regu
lar-sized ice hockey skate blades
that allow the puck to pass under
neath.
A&E will have nightly cover

The Sports:
Nordic Skiing
Nordic
skiing
consists of two events
- cross-country and
biathlon. Cross-coun
try skiing began at
the 1976 inaugural Para
lympic Winter Games
in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden. How
ever, biathlon did not become
a medal sport until the Lillehammer 1994 Paralympic Winter
games.
The classical technique of
cross-country was used by men
and women athletes, until skat

ing of the duties and responsi
bilities of the vice president of
External Affairs. In addition to
being a committee member, I
attend monthly California State
Student Association (CSSA)
meetings with the current vice
president of External Affairs. The
experience I gained from my
involvement in student govern
ment provides me the essential
ent committees and board posi

gained the knowledge and expe
rience to be a student advocate
and student voice of this campus.
I know that this campus needs
strong people to be student rep

yours. So vote for someone on
your team, the student’s team.
Vote Arti Patel for executive vice
president!
ASI Vice President of Finance
Tyrell A. Fiduccia
I am a business
major running for
the vice president of
finance position. I
am very motivated to work along
side the school and ASI and make
changes for the better while serv
ing the students at Cal State San
Marcos. My major emphasizes
finance, so I believe I am quali
fied to handle the responsibilities
of this position. I am a dedicated
worker and a team player, and I
believe these skills will help me
contribute to ASI.
Crystal Folk
I am running for the ASI posi
tion, vice president of finance. I
am committed to student involve
ment, as I am currently the repre
sentative for the College of Arts

Programming Committee, which
is responsible for the many suc
cessful events here on campus.
I am a member of the Women’s
Leadership Committee, which
focuses on outreach to disad
vantaged high-school students,
which provides them with pos
itive encouragement. The pro
gram encourages each young
person to utilize the other as a
beneficial resource and means of
support.
I am treasurer of the Pan
African Student Alliance, and I
am responsible for keeping accu
rate records of our accounts. I
update our statements and main
tain open communication with
the officers and members of our
organization concerning budget
ary matters. With the help of
the network I have established
here on campus with students,
faculty, and staff, I will achieve
each goal set forth this coming
year. My dedication to student
involvement and student life will
be reflected in my work on
the ASI budget, so vote me, Crys
tal Folk, your vice president of
finance.

I am very enthusiastic about the

tion on campus has allowed me
to meet many different people
and build my own vision for the
future of CSUSM. A big com
plaint on campus is that there
is no college culture, and little
student involvement. I too com
plained about this and decided if
I wanted a good college experi

myself. My goals as the College
of Business representative are not
only to represent the students of
the College of Business, but also
to create memorable and creative
activities for this campus. The
university can continue to con
struct new buildings; however,
someone must build the spirit
within the campus first, and it
will start with me.

ASI Vice President of External
Affairs
Brett Gladys
The time has come for us to
take hold of our university and
mold it into ‘our’ university! The
time has come for change! The
division that exists between stu
dent government and the stu
dents of Cal State San Marcos is
wrong, and serves no one. I, Brett
Gladys, am running for the posi
tion of vice president of External
The Pride
Affairs so that I can work to rec
tify this situation. In this posi
tion, I will be able to work with
students to promote change at Cal
State San Marcos and to work
on a statewide level with every
Cal State University to fight for
student interests. Cal State San
Marcos needs leadership that is
in touch with the needs and con
cerns of students and is willing
to work diligently for those inter
ests. As vice president of External
Affairs, I will
communicate
with students
and speak for
them at ASI
and CSSA conferences. I will
work to enrich the lives of stu
dents and to see involvement on
campus grow. Through campus
pride initiatives and increased
student involvement in the stu
dent government, we can improve
this university! There are great
things on the horizon for Cal
State San Marcos, and it is my
wish that every student be a part
of them.

I am a full-time senior major

ning for the ASI position of vice
president of External Affairs of
ASI.
As your ASI vice president
of External Affairs, I will fight
for issues that are important
to CSUSM students: Low fees
and tuition, smaller class sizes,
increased funding for more
diverse student activities and
keeping you informed of policy
changes that affect us.
I am a veteran of the US
Navy. I served in student lead
ership positions in high school
and military training school. I
presently volunteer for MAMA’s
Kitchen, serving hot meals to our
unfortunate brothers and sisters
in the greater San Diego area.
I have the experience, commit
ment, devotion, and loyalty nec
essary to represent the voices and
interests of Cal State San Marcos

this university a home away from

Thank you for choosing me.

skills and qualifications that are
required for the position of vice
president of External Affairs.
Being a well-known indi
vidual by many students, staff
and faculty, my involvement on
campus stretches well beyond the
area of student government. I
am a devoted student advocate
actively involved with student life
and student issues. My dedica
tion to student life is a key con
tribution I bring to ASI.
In conclusion, what I have to
offer the student body of CSUSM
is broad experience in student
government and student life that
will help me effectively and effi
ciently carry out the duties of
vice president of External Affairs
to its full potential. ASI Executive Vice President
Arti A. Patel
I am running for the position
of executive vice president. I am
a sociology major who will be
graduating next June. The reason
I am running is simple: there is a
need to increase student involve
ment on campus, and I feel I am
the most qualified to handle that
job. As the current executive vice
president of ASI, I am in charge
of placing students who want to
get involved either through com
mittees, focus groups or other
activities/events in need of a stu
dent voice. As a student who has
been involved in many aspects
of student life on this campus,
I have observed the increasing
need for student involvement and
student voice. In my first week
as the newly appointed execu
tive vice president, I was able to
recruit three students to fill cur
rently vacant board of director
positions, as well as place sev
eral students on committees with
openings. If elected as executive
vice president for the 2002-2003
school year, I plan to implement
programs such as a campus pride
initiative, as well as other ini
tiatives, that will help to build
campus community.

of that hiatus was spent in the US
Army, where I worked as a clerk
in the Finance Corps. Part of my
job in the U.S. Army Finance
Corps was to be the debt man
ager for over 10,000 soldiers from
two bases in Germany and also
for the camps I was deployed to
in Bosnia and Kosovo. This job
required a lot of organization and
efficiency. Coincidentally, these
. very same skills are needed to be
an effective ASI corporate secre
tary.
Being away from college for
so long has helped me to appre
ciate the opportunity I have to
get involved and make a differ
ence. To that end, when I came
to CSUSM last semester, I hit
the ground running. Instantly, I
joined the lacrosse team, began
sitting on the ASI External
Affairs Committee, and started
up the Progressive Activists Net
work (PAN), of which I am the
current president. One of the
things I found striking about
CSUSM when I came here was
the lack of community, identity,
and school pride. Through PAN,
I have been trying to change that
by collaborating and communi
cating with several other student
organizations and bring events
to campus that will foster feel
ings of community, identity, and
school pride. For example, PAN’s
monthly Socially Relevant Film
Series (started this semester) has
arranged to show films with
PASA, the Women’s Studies Stu
dent Association, APSS, and the
Environmental Club. Right now,
this campus is quiet and lacks a
conspicuous identity, but it does
not have to be like that. We have
so much potential, to make this
place fun, to make this place
rock, and most importantly, to
make this place ours.
There have been times this
year when student voices were
not heard by the leadership of
OSUSM, and sometimes that has
been disastrous (i.e. the Com
mencement controversy). As ASI
corporate secretary, it would be
my job to keep the information
student leaders need to make
informed decisions on past, cur
rent, and future issues. But I do
not feel that is enough. If elected,
I promise to be a proactive
secretary who is dedicated to
keeping students abreast of cur
rent issues, finding out how stu
dents feel about those issues, and
making sure that the leadership
of CSUSM know how students
feel about issues. If you want
an ASI corporate secretary ded
icated to keeping you informed,
hearing your ideas, being your
voice, and making CSUSM a
place we can all be proud of, vote
for me, Erik Roper.
