T H E PRIDE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 4,2002 www.csusm.edu/pride/ v ol.xno.iv Fire in the Skies Over Southern California By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Last Thursday around 7:30 p.m., Vandenberg Air Force Base, located just north of Santa Barbara, was running a routine ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile) test. The missile sent was an unmanned Minute Man III, and its destination was the Marshal Islands, thousands of miles away in the central Pacific Ocean. Weather experts say that the time of the launch and the clear weather conditions, played a significant role in creating the "twi- light affect" that many people saw that night. As the missile climbed to enormous altitudes, the vapor trail left behind the missile froze. Consequently, the rays coming from the still setting sun caught the frozen vapor particles, sending off a reddishwhite hue. Matty, from the Matty Show on 91X radio said that the United States Air Force (USAF) does inform the media about missile launches that are supposed to occur in the area. However, he stated that the releases regarding the launches are very vague. Apparently the USAF told 91X that there would be a launch sometime in September between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Not only is this a very broad window for a scheduled test, but it was also late, albeit only by a half an hour. Many students leaving Academic Hall noticed the event, and there was a strange mixture of emotions in the air. It was a combination of apprehension, awe, and amazement. Only after they realized that there was no apparent danger did it become apparent that the event was merely both an awesome and powerful spectacle. Official Air Force photo.

Tough Time with Skate Parks in San Marcos By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer There are no skate parks in San Marcos, leaving the entire population of extreme sports participants, including skateboarders, inline skaters, and bikers, with no legal place to practice their sport. "There are no future plans for a skate park in San Marcos," explained Mayor of San Marcos F.H. "Corky" Snitb. However, Smith alluded to a new public park being built off of the 78freeway exit at Nordahl Road that should be complete by Janu- ary 2003. At the new San Marcos park, there would be an assigned area (approximately half the size of a basketball court) for local children and teenagers to ride their equipment. In this area, there would be no ramps, rails, or ledges to ride or grind on - that leavesflatground. This new park will not be a skate park because it will lack ramps, rails, and ledges, thus leaving public property as one of the few options for extreme sports participants to use. substantial amount of vandalism on our property. Such an example of vandalism is displayed in this photograph of a ledge at CSUSM. The marks on the ledge can be from bikers, inline skaters, or skate boarders. However, the fact remains that public property is being damaged, which is a common complaint that Bill Schramm, from the city of San Marcos Community Service department, is hearing from the San Marcos community. Schramm asserted that in the future of San Marcos, as many At CSUSM, there has been a as 24 new parks could be built, that may or may not include skate parks. He also said that construction of a skate park would not be worth the hassle, because local children and teens would still practice their sports on public property, even if skate parks were built. However, Robert Levienos of San Marcos, who is a professional inline skater, feels that a new skate park in San Marcos would encourage him and other extreme sports participants to refrain from practicing on public property, because they would have a place to legally skate. If there are no plans, there Damage to wall from skate boarding in front of University Hall. Photo by Desmond Barca For any questions or informamay not be a skate park in the future of San Marcos.

Books not needed for the upcoming semester at any of the campuses that the bookstores serve may be given wholesale value and those books will then go to a wholesale company.

Clever Cultural B y AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is well known for its cultural diversity, both in education and in population, and it is this unique quality that enhances the campus' cultural experience. Professors like Deborah Small, Sonia Ruiz, and David Avalos eagerly devote their time and efforts to educating students about different cultures, and in a sense, opening up the world to them. This university offers many such opportunities to explore the wide varieties of people on the planet without even leaving the campus. tures (VPA 311) introduces students to a variety of cultures from around the world through various art forms, such as film, music, dance, and writing. This unique course utilizes the talents of several instructors, with Small acting as the "cheerleader for her colleagues," as she put it. With a new instructor every week, this course is more like a fun day at the cultural arts center rather than a required course. Tessa Allen, a CSUSM junior, enjoys going to World Cultures class because "it is so diverse, and it covers all mediums of art."

Bible Marathon is put into Priority By CARLOS BALADEZ Pride Staff Writer A group called Priority Christian Challenge set up just outside the library last week and set about reading through the bible in a marathon-like atmosphere. Volunteer readers started at 7 a.m. and read through to 9 p.m. Pairs of volunteers would read alternating passages for thirty minutes at which point two fresh volunteers would take over, and so went the cycle.

The CAMP program offers academic, personal and financial support, followed by mentoring opportunities for the second year to help students complete their baccalaureate degree and a subsequent teaching credential for those who choose teaching as a career. According to the U.S. Department of Education, 88 percent of the 2,400 annual CAMP participants complete theirfirstyear of college successfully, and overall 75 percent graduate with bacca- 43 grantees are made up of institutions of higher education and other non-profit organizations that cooperate with such institutions.

In 1999 the CAMP program was included as part of the Clinton administration's "Hispanic Education Action Plan." The program's funding increased significantly. "Currently, within our migrant service area there are over 1,200 migrant students who are eligible for CAMP. Additionally, there are migrant students in the Imperial Valley, Southern Riverside County, and Southern San Diego County who are not served by a current camp grant and who would be eligible to participate in the Cal State San Marcos program. Working closely with our migrant regional 88 percent of the 2,400 annual CAMP participants complete their first year of college successfully, and overall 75 percent graduate with baccalaureate degrees Necochea said, "Many of the migrant students will be firsttime/full-time students to attend the university from their families; this grant will help provide the support they need in order to be successful with a rigorous and demanding university program."

By now, most students have seen their syllabuses and have acknowledged the 10-20 page research paper due at the end of the semester and immediately put it in the back of their minds, to be thought about around week 13 or 14. Probably not the best idea, and for any new students, be prepared: the professors are looking for good papers and here's a big clue, they know the difference. Acknowledging students' tendencies toward procrastination mixed with mega fears about writing, I was determined to find out how to write a good paper. Yvonne Muelemans, the Science Librarian, and Judith Downing, the Humanitarian Librarian, explained how to find out the best ways to research papers along with the biggest challenges students encounter trying to get these papers done. Muelemans responded, "Students don't give themselves enough time, even for simple things, suqh as copying and downloading articles." All these little nitty-gritty things take time and can cause a lot of problems. Waiting for the last minute only to find out that when you arrive in the library the server is down can put students into a tailspin. This does not happen a lot, but it can happen - and it can when you wish it had not. Another thing to look out for is although Cal State San Marcos has around 200,000 volumes To Research encounter students whose topic is either too broad, too narrow, not clear or the student is not sure of the assignment. I have actually had students come in and say 'I need to write a history paper.' That would be too broad. And other students want the product, the grade, and don't want to do the process. The process is the education.... once the student is clear on the topic and they start getting the information or research needed for the Also, CSUSM is part of the paper, that's when the assign"Circuit" which includes San ment becomes interesting and Diego State University, UC San the learning takes place."

So if students are doing a search and the volume needed is in the Annex, the book needs to be ordered. The book will arrive within 24 hours on campus but there is that time issue, meaning if the deadline is the next day students might be out of luck. So try to plan ahead and start the research early.

El motivo de su visita a la clase fue para hablar de sus experiencias, retos y éxitos obtenidos a lo largo de su carrera como persona de negocios al contestar las preguntas del público asistente en ACD 102. Para Carrie Maxwell, estudiante de SSM 482D, esta clase es básicamente para ayudar a los estudiantes con licenciatura en negocios a tener más conocimiento en esa área. Figueroa obtuvo su maestría en Negocios en Ucrania. Él trabajó como contador privado y como contadorfiscalen el gobierno de México. Además, Figueroa en su trabajo como cónsul ha vivido en cuatro países diferentes incluyendo los Estados Unidos. El miedo, para Figueroa, es el peor enemigo de cualquier persona. El cual, de acuerdo con él, se debe reconocer que existe, pero al mismo tiempo manejarlo y superarlo. Esto cambiará la vida de las personas que lo hagan. mayor reto en su vida ha sido entender lo que pasaba alrededor de él y lo que pasaba en el mundo en la época de los 70s cuando la vida fácil que conocía cambio de repente. Figueroa expresó que su mayor error sería mezclar las emociones con la razón. También dijo a los estudiantes que para evitar los errores y tener éxito en la vida personal y profesional se necesita tener humildad para reconocer que se cometió un error y estar en contra de la codicia. A Figueroa se le pidió un consejo por el público asistente para balancear la vida personal con la profesional. Él contestó que él era una persona egoísta y que si tenía que trabajar en domingo lo hacía pero que le gustaba respetar su vida privada y que si lo invitaban a jugar golf, se iba. De acuerdo con Figueroa, el También dijo que siempre trataba de combinar su vida privada con su trabajo, siempre buscando la manera de estar cerca de su familia. Otro de los consejos dados por Figueroa fue que las personas deben de ser ellos mismos y escuchar pero no creer todo lo que escuchen. Él añadió que hay una razón para todo, e invitó al público a cuestionarse y a abrirse a los demás.

N o es que crea que la sentencia contra la nigeriana es injusta, porque lo considero totalmente injusto y creó que el veredicto debe de ser revocado. A continuación entenderán a lo que me refiero con la situación de las mujeres en México y en la cual Fox se necesita enfocar en lugar de criticar a otras naciones. Hace dos años que México espera un gran cambio social, político y económico con la nueva presidencia del Panista Vicente Fox. Sin embargo, este cambio parece no estar tomando lugar o va a un paso lentísimo incapaz de ser visto ni con el mayor lente magnificado. La corrupción, la pobreza, y la falta de empleo al igual que la violación a los derechos humanos siguen presentes en la sociedad mexicana. N o obstante, el presidente Fox hace alarde de Desde 1993 en Ciudad su presidencia y de los logros Juárez, Chihuahua, México, obtenidos, los cuales jamás han alrededor de 2 84 mujeres han sido vistos por los mexicanos. sido encontradas muertas y hay aproximadamente 450 La gota que derramó el vaso desaparecidas. D e las mujeres y que me impulsó a escribir encontradas muertas, algunas esta carta fue el haber visto han sido golpeadas, violadas, y escuchado a Fox decirle al mutiladas, o apuñaladas y país de Nigeria cómo tratar arrojadas en cualquier parte a las mujeres. En especial, de la ciudad, Mientras que él se estaba enfocando en la de las desaparecidas no se nigeriana que fue sentenciada sabe absolutamente nada. Sin a morir apedreada por tener un embargo, Fox no ha usado su hijo fuera del matrimonio. Fox poder como presidente para pidió a Nigeria que cambiara exigir al gobierno de la ciudad, esta sentencia. Sin embargo, lo municipal y estatal de Chihuahua que él olvida e s que en su propio y mucho menos al gobierno país hay muchas violaciones a federal para investigar estas los derechos humanos. Sobre numerosas muertes tan trágicas. todo en contra de las mujeres Muchas de estas mujeres asesinadas y desaparecidas trabajaban en maquiladoras, usualmente de noche, para poder ganar un sueldo y darles de comer a sus familias. Tristemente para muchas de ellas, debido a la falta de empleo en el país, esta era su única opción de trabajo. Esto me hace recordar otro punto por el que Fox todavía no ha cumplido, y eso que ya ha tenido dos años en la presidencia. Me refiero a la pobreza que se ha incrementado en los últimos dos años debido a la falta de empleo y salarios justos; pero no puedo profundizar en esta ocasión debido a la complejidad del caso. Sobre las promesas de Fox, como decimos en México solo me resta decir que "de lengua me como un taco." e internacional, no hay más de 30 muertes resueltas. Además, de los pocos sospechosos detenidos de cometer estos asesinatos, hay grandes dudas sobre la verdad de su culpabilidad ya que muchos los consideran chivos expiatorios que el gobierno ha usado para aparentar resolver los casos cuando en realidad esto no es cierto. En lugar de estar perdiendo el tiempo pidiéndole al presidente Bush por una amnistía para que más mexicanos puedan venir a trabajar a EE.UU., Fox debería de atender mejor la situación interna y caótica de México. Debería de establecer un mejor gobierno con una justicia verdadera al igual que abrir más fuentes de trabajo para evitar que sus conciudadanos tengan que abandonar su país y en la mayoría de las ocasiones a sus familias. Entiendo que un presidente no puede cambiar décadas de corrupción y malfunción social, política y económica; pero, el esfuerzo que un presidente haga durante su gobierno, definitivamente ayudará mucho a mejorar la situación en el futuro. Hace alrededor de dos meses, las familias de todas estas mujeres asesinadas y perdidas, pidieron justicia para encontrar a los culpables de tantas muertes, y ayuda para encontrar a aquellas todavía desaparecidas. Sin embargo, esto pareció no haber sido escuchado por la justicia mexicana y mucho menos por Fox ya que todavía son muy pocos los culpables o sospechosos acusados de tantas muertes. Mi mensaje para el presidente D e acuerdo con cifras oficiales publicadas por la prensa nacional Fox es que empiece por demandar en México, antes que en ningún otro país, las violaciones de derechos humanos al igual que los crímenes contra las mujeres, que tristemente no sólo acento o pasan en Chihuahua sino en muchos otros estados mexicanos y que sean penalizados duramente y justamente por la ley. En lugar de exigir que otros países hagan esto, ponga usted el ejemplo para entonces poder tener derecho y la desvergüenza de exigirlo en otros países. Como ciudadana mexicana preocupada por la situación en mi país y como ciudadana del mundo, exijo que estas muertes y desapariciones no queden impunes y que los culpables sean encontrados y llevados a la justicia verdadera, que también se necesita establecer en México. Si ni siquiera usted hace respetar los derechos civiles de las mujeres en su propio país, ¿qué cara tiene para exigir que otros lo hagan? Ponga un buen ejemplo ante sus colegas en lugar de exigir algo que ni siquiera usted hace por las personas de su país. N o se olvide que el buen presidente por su país empieza.

The event was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition on Hollywood Boulevard, and drew art collectors as well as thousands of fans each waiting up to five hours to meet Manson, engage in some light chitchat, and shake Manson's hand. The event entitled "The Golden Age of the Grotesque", which by the way is the title of Manson's new album in progress, ran from Thursday to Saturday. I arrived on Friday at 10 p.m., by then nearly half the painting were marked sold. The paintings ranged from $1,000 to $50,000. Over all it was quite an event, with a parade of humanity ranging from Manson and his beautiful entourage all decked out in immaculate wardrobe and make up, to art collectors to Goth rockers, punks, to regular Joes. On Thursday, actors Sean Penn and Jason Lee attended the exclusive engagement. Manson's paintings were reminiscent of 19th centuries German expressionism, many of which were similar to stylistically to the work of Egon Shiele. Among the self portraits and portraits of celebrities including his significant other Dita Von Tooco were subjects tVint were enKi^tc that wwp Teese, clearly intended as social satire. The satirical paintings included a hermaphrodite nude of Hitler, a version of Superman entitled Ubermensch and a self-portrait in which Manson depicts himself as a creepy version of Mickey Mouse. Thought the event was free, in order to meet Manson and get an autograph, fans had to purchase one of Manson's limited editions, lithographs or posters, the cheapest ones starting at $20 apiece. One of Manson's fans, Julia Velasco of Pomona, complained that she had to spend $160 in order for everyone in her party to meet Manson. Though some of the attendees were irritated by the commercialism associated with the event, most seemed appreciative. Outside, I talked to Lexa Vonn, of the rock group Ophelia Rising. Vonn was handing out CDs to promote her band and commended Manson for his loyalty to his fans. Concerning Manson's paintings, Vonn Pointed out that they look much better in person than on the web. Another fan I talked to, Naokol Matsumoto, told me that she came to the U.S. two years ago to learn English for the express purpose of communicating with Marilyn Manson. All of the images shown here are of original paintings by Marilyn Manson. Photos are courtesy of www.marilynmanson.com �-f fear of 'dangerous' art." paintings and didn't make it on Manson's official website www.marilynmanson.com/ For those of you who are to Hollywood last weekend, at . Manson keeps interested in seeing Manson's most of them can be viewed grotesque/ and updated Journal on his website. In his online journal Manson had this to say about his exhibition: "I paint scabs. Cover wounds, encased in scars. Paintings are seldom guilty and often framed for crimes they did not commit. Imprisoned in jails that are owned by the Bourgeois who treat them like criminals...Kunsts! Talking about them and not to them." And in reference to his upcoming album under the same name Manson says, "the understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism. Fuck art. I am art." Currently there are not show dates available for Manson's upcoming tour On his influences, Manson had this to say, "My inspiration for this record came from historic parallels to my own present position in popular culture. Most notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming imaginative, sexually-depraved artistic chaos that just bled from some of history's greatest minds as Berlin reached its creative extreme peak. The unfortunate onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to its fiery end seemed to almost mirror today's less violent, but equally ignorant censorship and Manson is much more than just a shock rocker, as he is so often referred to as in the media. I've read his autobiography, listened to his albums, seen his music videos, listened to interviews, and now I've seen his paintings. Listening to Manson talk, it is evident that he is extremely intelligent and articulate. Given the range of his artist: interests and ability, the fact that he has had such a widespread influence on pop culture as well as rallied himself into a lucrative industry, isn't very surprising. The term Shock Rocker, doesn't describe him as well as "artist". Regardless of personal taste, Manson's art challenges anyone willing to put their biases away and take art for what it is worth; an intellectual stimulus that forces us to think and open our minds. People who don't understand Manson, or think his art is gratuitous or only done for shock value, are people who have judged him prematurely; people clearly have the right to dismiss art without bothering to investigate, or make an informed judgment, but in my opinion passing judgment in this way is irresponsible and relates back to what Manson is rebelling against in thefirstplace. Anyone who has the time to examine contemporary art in depth will at the very least respect Manson's accomplishments as well as his courage and determination under heavy criticism, even if they don't care for his art or music. �Gaming On-Line Style By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer First off, this is a piece of those of you who scoffed at the two previous articles concerting Halo for the Xbox.

As a Literature and Writing major at California State University San Marcos, I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity. Oftentimes, while I am sitting in these classes, I find myself wondering why the university has chosen to teach this school of thought in a way that points fingers at cultural differences. After the class lecture is over, I never feel more connected to someone else of the selected ethnic background of the day, but instead I feel further removed. Take for example a class like LTWR 450, Multiethnic American Literature. The course outline for this class says that it is a class that offers a "Comparison of various ethnic American discourses such as African American, Jewish American, Latino American, [and] Japanese American." To title this course Multiethnic American Literature is a slap in the face to all of the wonderful writers incorporated into the syllabus. Why not title this course simply American Literature? Why must the university tag this course as Multiethnic? Are they saying that all of the authors that we read in United States Literature 309A and 309B have the same ethnic background and that that those backgrounds are not ethnic? The fact that they must separate this course, and tag it as multiethnic, shows the real lack of progress in cultural diversity at this university. I grew up in New York, where nobody ever spoke of cultural diversity. It was common to have neighbors of different ethnic backgrounds, but the idea was that they were your neighbors. Not your Jewish neighbors, or your Latino neighbors, or your African American Neighbors, but simply the neighbors nextdoor. The fact that they may have come a hundred years ago from some other country did not matter and was never talked about. K. Anthony Appiah, a professor at Harvard University, said in one of his lectures that "American cultural distinctions cannot be understood in terms of the concept of race: the only race in thé United States, is the human race." He goes on to say "there is danger in making racial identities too central to our conceptions of ourselves; while there is a place for racial identities in a world that is shaped by racism, I shall argue, if we are to move beyond racism we shall have to move beyond current racial identities." Liberal It is your lucky day. You may be asking yourself, "Why, Matt?" Well it is because today you are going to hear the other side of the story. Last week's commentary "Comedy Hour on NPR" by Erik Roper contained much comedic value. First joke, he said President Bush is our "illegally appointed president." That's funny because several liberal media outlets sponsored their own recount of Florida ballots and wouldn't ya know it, Bush still won. The media, except for Fox News, said nothing! Here is a good book: Bias by Bernard Goldberg which tells about liberal media bias and how Dan Rather gives you only what he wants you to hear. Comedy and France pay 5 - 8 %. Right now you may be saying "Wow Matt that is amazing." And you're darnrightit is. A 1996 GAO report stated that we spent $6.6 billion on peacekeeping operations since 1992 and yet we have only been accredited with $1.8 billion of that money. So under the United Nations Erroneous Dept. Act, we stopped paying dues until our overpayments have been credited or reimbursed. Oh God Bless the United Nations which is also one of the leading exporters of abortion to thirdworld countries where abortion is hidden under names like "family planning" and "women'srights."The United Nations was also a key player in China's Second joke, the author did not brutal one child policy that has know why America "feels it killed small children and has should be exempt from paying created a sexual imbalance. dues." For the past 50 years, America has contributed 25% of At this point you should all the UN budget. China paid less be upset and not because I am than 1%. Russia, Great Britain, conservative but because we are paying with our taxes and with our people (military) for a world authority. Call me a crazy member of the right wing conspiracy, but a world under the control of a global government scares me and the freedom that has been preserved by my dad, grandpa, and forefathers is at risk. It is like "Ripley's Believe It Or Not," but the U N has already created a world court and has been given American soil by our previous president. So, next time you watch liberals on TV remember this - they think, "you are ignorant and possibly even stupid" because you listen to one side of the story and believe it. Matt Cotton CAUSC Student If CSUSM wants to celebrate diversity, they should do so by incorporation not by isolation. There is no reason to have a class called Multiethnic American Literature. These texts, if they are worthy of being studied, should be incorporated into the United States Literature course because they are an equal part of American Literature and not a separate part. The University's program right now is at the same place the Civil Rights movement was forty years ago when the thought was separate but equal. We have come to know that separate is never equal, why hasn't the universityfiguredthat out?

However, this semester my view is being drastically changed and it is being altered in the form of an overflow of cramped and ridiculous parking! Basically as I read the article from last week's Pride, I gathered the truth of the ugliness of our parking. There is only 2,000 parking spaces on campus and yet the school has admitted approx. 6,900 students. Each student is required to on Parkin found that the parking situation is becoming tolerable and many hope that the congestion will die down after the add/drop period. However, the numbers don't lie and class sizes are not dropping as much as they are increasing, which is another article all together! That fact is that after September 26, 2002, curb parking will no longer be allowed, as well as stack parking to soon follow. Though I understand the red curb's disallowance due to fire hazard (though overlooked in the past 3 weeks), the unmarked curbs and stack parking is desperately needed. The student's money should be seen in action pay sixty-two dollars a semes- dents that have permits park in and not with parking tickets.

Though I Illingworth, like many students, our last week in the happy place know many students that do not has to work before school and so of parking, which many consider pay for these permits and walk to the time to locate a parking spot hell. Another thought to ponder school from various near-by des- is between five tofifteenminis that the faculty also parks on tinations such as Ralph's and the utes. In that time span, students the curbs as Afton Porter pointed overflow, I chose to pay and be are lucky if they can even get out, "The faculty will now be near school. Well to my surprise into a parking lot! parking in our lots and causing there is no parking as stated by even more congestion, yet i f the previous article and the I have discussed the parking we park in their lots we receive response from school is to park issue with numerous students, as a $100 ticket." I challenge you in the overflow. Why should stu- I'm sure many of you have, and CSUSM students to not take this lying down or walking down but to strike. The strike that I am proposing is not as shocking as it sounds. My suggestion is for the following week, the week of Sept. 30- Oct. 4., students should continue to park on curbs and in the dirt. Red curbs can be avoided due to the fire hazard, after all those areas only contain five or so spaces. When parking make sure to place this article under the windshield wipers in plain sight so when a ticket is being considered they will see the true parking permit, the student's voice. These tickets are only meaningful to those giving them and those receiving the profit. My thoughts are that the school cannot justly give tickets to everyone unless they decide to give us all refunds on the permits that they are not properly practicing. Everyone needs to participate. We have no choice. Don't let the last freedom of speech be in our parents' generation, stand up for our rights and what we've paid for! NICHOLE JESTER Senior, LTWR GSUSM T raffic: S elf-inflicted Chaos By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer Could it be possible that inconveniently scheduled class times are what lie at the root of the current traffic problem? Most students have little choice as to what classes they need to take; they must complete the courses required for their major in order to graduate. With this in mind, you would think that the university would schedule similarly required classes close together during the day so that students could easily end one class and begin another and then be done for the day. Unfortunately, this is that there would be less congesnot the case at CSUSM. tion and more convenience if they could keep the similarly It seems that everywhere you required classes close together. go on campus you will hear some- Could one of the main traffic one complaining about parking problems be the absurd amount and someone else complaining of students that start early in about how long their days are the morning and leave their car at school, perhaps these two parked in the lot all day so that issues are secretly intertwined. they can catch their nighttime Classes at CSUSM are scheduled class without having to lose their haphazardly, some early while spot or even worse, risk not being others late, even when they are able to get another one later? all required of the same major. Why would you spread them out Apparently classes are offered so far apart?

Why in the world would you place Mucky Mouse in Suicide in this issue? It lacks humor, subtlety, or thoughtful commentary, as well as informed spelling and punctuation-so what's the point? This is no mouse, it's a sewer rat. Actually, why would you want such tasteless inanity in our college publication at all? I sincerely hope neither the community nor the Zingaro family sees this issue; do the right thing and pull itfromthe stands. There's no pride here. Pam Horner L ETTERS This letter is in response to the letter sent by Pam Horner. I have had classes with Pam and have always admired her intellect and contributions to class discussions. Her letter to the editor was both justified and well composed. As the creator of Mucky Mouse I would like to respond to Pam's letter in this way: I would not have submitted Mucky Mouse to the Pride last week if I had learned about the Zingaro death earlier. The comic was not a response to his death, and was drawn prior to his disappearance. Mucky Mouse in Suicide preceded the news of Alex's death and was left in the paper accidentally. I myself did not imagine a connection between ing college. Is this really necessary? Should the greater student population cater to the needs of a select few? And to those people who must waste their entire days sitting around campus awaiting their next class, which may be up to nine hours later, is it fair that you must wait just so you have a guaranteed parking space? believe it is the lack of spaces as much as it is poor class scheduling. If classes were scheduled in blocks, every few hours a ton of spaces would open up for the next block of students to go to class. Maybe the real problem is being overlooked; maybe the real problem has to do with poor scheduling. There is definitely an underlying problem in the parking s ituation, and I do not the comic and the tragic death positive objectives, which I feel less.

Normally, it fronts as a small computer store, run by former Lieutenant Governor candidate, Ron J. Like. It sits on Coast Highway in Oceanside, surrounded by many other 'Ma and Pa' businesses. Walking inside, the diversity is almost as great as the different stores that make up this neighborhood. Like's software is available on the only aisle and is flanked by other computers in various stages of use. The far wall contains several paintings and if visitors look close, they will recognize a Rembrandt and a Monet but not the kind that will bring millions, but copies that have been painted by Like. The store has that 'lived in' feel that only a small business can bring and is fast disappearing from the American landscape. In this comfortable, yet quirky room, two men, Like and Byron were planning to make a run at congress under the decent and respectable ticket. against it because many of their companies were profiting from doing business with Iraq, Byron quickly said that Vice-President Dick Cheney had run Halliburton quite successfully while doing business with Iraq during the 90s even with the sanctions After we seated ourselves in and embargos in place. two easy chairs, he began to talk about politics and the first thing Spreading democracy to that came up was Iraq and the other countries especially in the president's determination to go Middle East was another topic in with force.

Byron Byron also pointed out that also mentioned that any operathe former U.S.S.R., China and tion in Iraq will cost hundreds North Korea all have nuclear of billions of dollars over the weapons or are trying to get next ten years and the budget them and the U.S. has not might not be able to come out of attacked them.

England's prime minister. After pointing out that Europeans were that candidates that obtain five percent of the vote in the qualifying elections will then receive a certain amount of campaign money from the state yet, there would be a limit to the amount on private funds. Byron also wants to "reempower" congress and let them do what they are supposed to do, which is debate over what i s best for this country. Byron also talked about his students telling him that they feel like their vote won't make a difference. However, he wants to let them know that for once, yes, it will. CSUSM Professor, Dr Mike Byron 1 When asked what were some of the things that could be done tofightthe war on terror and how to stop terrorism from spreading, Byron offered a profound quote. "Happy people don't make history, we need to be fostering conditions for meaningful, fair international trade. We can be setting the conditions for democracy but we can't impose it, we can only provide the model for opportunity. People in the Middle East are stuck, give them the opportunity." Given the fact that in the Middle East, 65 percent of the population is between 15 and 25 with almost no job prospects, this recipe is more fitting than sending in random troops. Many of these people are college educated yet work as street vendors because there's no employment. With regards to foreign policy, Taiwan became another topic of discussion. The current administration in Taiwan is dedicated to keeping it independent from China and is even conducting a secret deal for eight new 'Dolphin' class submarines. Byron responded that since president Truman went to China in 1971 and signed the Taiwan Relations Act, every president since him has been committed to the act, which guarantees one China and the peaceful return of Taiwan. Byron said that we should stay committed to that. "What we should be doing is facilitating the foundations of modernity and democracy with the Chinese, we do that, the problem fades," he said. Byron also added that the number one issue with regards to domestic policies was the political system. "The political system, it should be one person, one vote, now it's one dollar, one vote," he said. He pointed out that in the '96 elections had the most money spent and the most votes recorded. He quoted P.J. O'Rourke and his reference that we have turned into a 'Parliament of Whores' because we pay so much attention to special interest groups. Byron has one other huge supporter of his opinion of these groups and that is Republican Senator John McCain, who ironically belongs to his opposition party. According to Byron, we need a constitutional amendment like we had back in the 1800's, when Mark Twain called it a 'Gilded Age,' to stop the special interest groups from retaining so much hold over us. Part of that would include public control over campaign money. This means The event that made Byron decide to run for Congress was after listening to senator McCain speak in addition to talking to documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore. Moore quoted Margaret Mead as saying, "If you want something to happen, you have to get up and do it yourself." It struck a chord with Byron and he went home and talked with his wife and the rest is making history. He also added, "Stay away from special interest money, be committed!" as his own advice to keep himself honest. Byron needs roughly 36,000 votes to win. Furthermore, his name will not appear anywhere in the ballot; he is a write-in candidate because the democrats did not get a candidate in the primary. He is running for the 49th district and his opponent is the republican Dan Issa. Byron also said, "This is your chance to make a difference, together we can make history." For those who want more information on Byron and his standpoint in many issues, visit his website at www.ByronForC ongress.org. This website will also tell you how to vote using the write in method. He will also be speaking at the upcoming North County Democratic Unity dinner on Saturday, October 5th. For more info call 760-436-6348.

WARCRAFT from page 12 turns to the distant shores of Kalimdor, where the Ores vie for survival against the Night Elves to save the world from utter annihilation. Each race has its own tech-tree, which allows for the construction of diverse, multifunctional units of warfare. Players familiar with- Warcraft II or Starcraft will notice that game focus in Warcraft III has shifted to smaller numbers of individual units rather than massive quantities of expendable cannon fodder. This change renders the environment more like Diablo, and thus Blizzard successfully combines the best play elements of its previous titles into one awesome game. The standard version sells for $39.99 at Amazon or Best Buy. True diehards can pick up the special Collector's Edition for $59.99, which includes an audio CD, DVD and full-color guidebook. Both versions include previews of Blizzard's new massively- multiplayer online universe, entitled World of Warcraft, slated for release in 2003.
