Professor Patty Seleski, chair of the history department, compared it to juggling, as the needs of students and the budget that has been allocated by the dean have to be balanced. "It's the curse of middle management," she said. The course scheduling process is much more complex than most people realize, and thè upcoming budget crisis has only made it more complicated than before. Several factors must be juggled when the department chairs determine when, where, and how many sections of a course will be offered. The needs of both the major and of general education (GE) requirements are considered. Every department offers several GE courses, which must be taken by all students. Enough classes for the department's major also have to be offered, but these classrooms can be hard tofilldue to their specialized nature. An attempt is made to offer major courses at a variety of times, but usually only one section of a particular course is. offered per semester or year. Attempts are made to offer courses in "a consistent, predictable way," said the chair of the mathematics department, professor Linda Holt. If several classes are only available once per year, schedulers will attempt to consistently offer courses during the same semesters. Class A is always available in the spring, class B is always in the fall. These major classes are arranged like this to avoid conflict. See SCHEDULE, page 5 TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 11. 2003 STATE OF THE CAMPUS ADDRESS Tempers Flared as the State of the Campus Address, turned into a State of the Parking Address By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer A As President /\ Alex Gonzalez took i V . the stage, students started to gather around the microphone, like lions stalking their prey, as they anxiously waited their turns to ask questions of the panelists last Monday, Feb. 3. , " About 50 students gathered at the Mezzanine Plaza, with the unforgiving sun beating on panelists' heads, in order to find out what the school president and the panelists had to say about the current situation at Cal State/ San. Marcos. Gonzalez began by talking about the budget, and he said that the increase in parking fees is not related to the tuition hike. According to Gonzalez, the California state government does not fund parking facilities; money that is used to finance a parking structure must come directly through parking fees, therefore the increase in parking fees was needed and fees will continue and ASI Corporate Secretary to increase.

Local news has focused on troops leaving for the Gulf and the nationwide news has been focused on the words of President George Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell. It is obvious that important decisions are being made during this and the last few months. These decisions are important to CSUSM students because they directly involve the young citizens, a large percentage of whom are members of the military. This is especially true with the large numberof CSUSM students who are currently enlisted in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and service reserves. There are also approximately 600 CSUSM students who aire Veterans, according to Corkie Lee, veterans affairs representative at CSUSM.

Cal State San Marcos By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Students who attend California State University, San Marcos, know the university as CSUSM, Cal State San Marcos,, San Marcos State, and CSU San Marcos. What most students do not know is that the popular brand name of the school has been changed from CSUSM to Cal State San Marcos. Cal State San Marcos is the trademark that students, prospective students, faculty, staff, and off-campus community members see on official letterhead, business cards, and banners along Craven Drive and Campus View Way. Markings on university vehicles as of a year and a half ago have also been changed, based on a decision made by the Academic Program Committee and by recommendation of the Academic Program Marketing Task Force.

Iraqi Conflict f rom page 1 explained that knowing the definite number of students on active duty is difficult because they may not always inform the school about their military status. He did, however, explain th#t during this semester, the school is experiencing the largest number of students than ever before in CSUSM history who have not enrolled or dropped their classes due to deployment notices. Bills noted that many of the students who are still attending are getting forms to withdraw from classes for the same reason. largely based in Miramar and Camp Pendleton received deployment orders. Recently, 17,000 reservists were called into duty, bringing the total number of National Guard and reservists to over 110,000. With so many young people leaving on duty and San Diego's large military role, it brings the conflict close to home at CSUSM.

He said that he doesn't feel that the Iraq conflict is affecting his current experience at CSUSM. As final decisions about the conflict draw near, it is unavoidable that CSUSM students will be affected along with the rest of the nation. As students make decisions about their feelings about the possible war, friends and classmates are preparing to be involved directly, in the conflict, reminding this campus that war is never as far as the battlefield. the question about the curb parking Williams said that, "Parking services knew there would b e a tight crunch last semester therefore curb parking was allowed. Curb parking was ultimately suspended because " the risk outweighed the benefit." According to Williams, " This semester there is ample parking, even during the busiest times." Shuttles Parking and Curb A manda Davenport, Liberal Studies, asked about t he shuttles that ran last spring and were cancelled last semester, that she did not know about at the time because of improper advertising according t o Davenport, and why the shuttles were done away with. Davenport also asked about the curb parking and why that was stopped as well. "The shuttle service was not cost effective," Coordinator of Business and Technology Robert Williams answered, and so the service was stopped.

One such person was a former Cal State San Marcos employee and recycling program coordinator, Nancy Quinn.

This is a typical struggle for students with learning disabilities, especially once they reach the college level. It is difficult for many to admit they are experiencing academic difficulties, but once they do, they no longer have to fight the battle alone. " I kept trying to brush off what was going on.

Rubella, Measles, and Mumps: Oh My! Student Health Services offers free M MR vaccinations By JASON PADILLA Opinion Editor There is still time to clear the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) immunization that is required by CSUSM. Students who are unsure about the current status of their immunization need to contact their physician or doctor in order to clarify the uncertainties. For students sure of their need, the Student Health Services (SHS) clinic will be offering free MMR vaccination shots on Friday Feb. 21, Mar 7 and March 21. MMR vaccines will be held at the SHS clinic located on the corner of corner of Craven and Twin Oaks and are available to all registered students. Those who cannot make the scheduled dates for vaccinations may schedule an appointment for another time. Able to spread from person to person through the air, Measles, Mumps and Rubella are serious diseases. Not only are they serious, but they can also be very annoying to students who find a MMR hold on their registration. The CSU system requires that all students be immunized to MMR prior to their first semester of being enrolled £t a CSU campus. Junior communication major Paul Anderson experienced this first hand. "I didn't even know that measles mumps or rubella was an issue, but apparently I needed the vaccine before I could register for my first semester at CSUSM a few years back," Anderson said. Anderson later went to the SHS clinic and received his vaccine. Many students may not be of the testicles or ovaries, and aware of their MMR vaccine status on occasion, death. The rubella because the shots are usually given (German measles) virus can cause at a very young age - one at 12 to rashes, mild fever, and arthritis 15 months old and the second at 4 (mostly in women).

The waiver includes a contractual agreement on behalf of the student, which states that in the event of an outbreak on campus, the student will not be allowed on campus until the outbreak is under control. It is also possible to get an MMR titer from a doctor or physician that establishes immunity to the diseases, and removes the requirement from a student's record at SHS. However, getting a simple immunization from the SHS clinic can be beneficial to avoid future registration conflicts, and for overall health and wellness; For more information or to double check mentioned facts, visit the SHS clinic at www.csusm.edu/ shs.

Major classes shouldn't conflict with each other. The idea is to let students have access, at some time of the day, to the classes they need. This is even further complicated by the fact that some departments provide prerequisite courses for other majors, or offer classes that are eligible for upper division GE credit. The departments try to work with each other in order to coordinate their schedules. The dean's office is responsible for making sure the schedule is "well balanced" , between GE and majors' courses, said Arts and Sciences Dean Spencer McWiUiams. FEATURE can only hold 35 students. The department chairs have very little control over when a classroom will be available. So, a popular class may be forced to use a smaller classroom. The department chairs interviewed also said that the concerns of instructors are another consideration. The appropriate teacher has to be matched to classes in which they have a certain degree of expertise; a teacher who specializes in vertebrate physiology is not the best choice to lead a microbiology class. Instructors also can't be scheduled at unreasonable hours. A teacher shouldn't have to teach one class at seven in the morning and one at five in the evening, or teach According to Cassel, the four classes in a row.

Each department also has to make certain that Full Time Equivalent Student (FTES) targets are met each semester. These targets are determined by the chancellor of the CSU, and are based on past enrollment. The dean's office then allocates the FTES to each department. There is some negotiation of FTES numbers between departments, but it is a finite number. Each department as a target enrollment uses the numbers, and it determines the budget for that particular department. A majority of the budget goes to f ull time employee salaries, with much of the remainder going toward operating expenses such as labs and equipment. The ambunt of money that each department receives is determined by how well they meet their FTES targets, so classes are scheduled at popular enrollment times. This is one reason there are not as many night sections; night sections don't enroll as heavily as night programs, due primarily day sections. to constraints such as expensive labs.

Also, the group felt that 'Cal State San Marcos seemed less formal, friendlier, and more welcoming to incoming students, who were our highest priority target group." The decision to make Cal State San Marcos the brand name trademark of the university was made in September 2000 by the Academic Program Marketing Task Force. This change was announced to the campus at the Fall Convocation a year and a half ago and put into effect at the start of the fall 2001 semester. An email was sent out to all the task force members to ask if they would comment on this meeting and the decision that was made, but few responded and the ones who did only referred The Pride to Rick Moore for the group's official statement. When asked if students were officially notified of this change and how, Moore stated, "Students were represented on the committee. I do not know if their representative 'officially' notified ASI or students. The change in the university mark did not affect the Cougar mark that is used by student groups." Why are students not in the know? Most students were unaware of this change to the brand name and were not sure why it took place. According to Moore, there was no known form of notification for the student body, because at the time there was no "in the loop" email and the Cougar Channel did not exist. Since the change took place a year and a half ago, there has not been a lot of discussion about it among the student body. Brodowsky added, "I wonder why, at this time, this is being followed up on as a high priority issue as if it were breaking news." In answer to his question, The Pride did not report on this issue at the time because it was not a public pertinent announcement that had been made to the student body, and now as the brand name is used, the focus on the correct term is at hand. According to Moore, the response to the change was stated as, "Enthusiastic acceptance. Some faculty were concerned that we had taken the word 'university' out of the mark, so we developed an academic mark for them to use in certain circumstances, such as when submitting papers or research findings and when conducting academic business outside of the northern San Diego region. Albie Hewlett, a senior communication major, also commented to the name brand change. "We as students are the ones who use this title to acknowledge our university. It is something as simple as a name that can help build an individual's school pride and this can be particularly important for a university like CSUSM!" Hewlett said. �Ü Campus B eat Question: INTO HIGH GEAR! "What does Valentine's Day mean to you?'

Por DIANA K. CABUTO Redactora de The Pride Llegué a pensar que la prensa y los medios mexicanos estaban exagerando, que se le envidiaba a la pobre actriz por haberse ido a Estados Unidos a buscar nuevas fronteras, que por "traicionar a México" se le tenía resentimiento, que se le tenía coraje por estar dejando dinero al cine americano y por haber logrado en menos de 10 años lo que muchos no han logrado en 20. Tal vez de esta manera es como ella lo mira, o como ella lo quiere v er Sin embargo, ahora me doy cuenta qüe otras celebridades mexicanas o de otra nacionalidad latina que han triunfado en el extranjero son igualmente criticadas al momento de no responder a la prensa mexicana, como es el caso del cantante mexicano Luis Miguel. A pesar dé su fama, hasta Luis Miguel es criticado por sus entrevistas exclusivas y escasas. La diferencia con Luis Miguel es que él no se queja, tomando en cuenta que así es la vida del espectáculo. dicen algunas cuantas personas. Que comprenda que no por que algunos mexicanos critiquen su película por coraje a su actitud, esto quiera decir que todo México la este atacando y que ella ataque a todos por igual y comience con su actitud arrogante a cambio. Como ya mencioné, a Salma Hayek se le han reconocido sus éxitos y se ha hablado muy bien de sus proyectos y de su talento. Tal parece que nada más busca pretextos para alejarse más de su país y divagar sólo las cosas negativas de la prensa mexicana. Si es la actriz que dice ser, debería de saber que no siempre se le van a dar halagos y aplausos. Sólo espero que antes de tener esa actitud tan negativa con México y la prensa, que trate de entender que su abandono es la causa de las persecuciones por parte de la prensa, que necesita ser un poco más accesible, y que todo actor profesional pasa por estas cosas, que ella no es la única.

Maybe if more students Graduate Student, Spanish By JASON PADILLA Opinion Editor like candy hearts and chocolate roses, Valentine's Day is more or less a commercialized day for the weak. Basically, marketing exploits those in relationships so pathetic and shallow that the opposite sex feels the need to give their "loved one" a gift; usually in a sad attempt to convince them they don't actually suck. Unfortunately, if you fell victim to buying that special someone a gift, you probably do suck. Thank god February is the shortest month of the year. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about adult relationships that are more or less built on convenience, are nonfunctional, and end up lasting a short while due to inadequacy and the need for attachment. With only the intentions of getting in each other's pants, the simple minds of these relationships are the same simple minds responsible for fueling the evil fires of Valentine's Day. Maybe someday these fires might burn so evil and hot, they w ilt burn the 14th right off the calendar.

The thought arises, am I the only single person left? Suddenly snapping out of this idiotic train of thought, most realize that misery loves company, and couples are probably better off being miserable without you. Hopefully, someday the masses won't feel the need for shallow expressions of endearment on February 14, but until then, some of us will continue to trudge through the ugliness that is Valentine's Day. So, go buy hearts, buy your roses, write a love note in a card, and try not to choke on t h e stupidity-filled chocolates that cost your loved one $2.99.
