If current issues cannot be resolved, this could be one of the last editions of The Pride to be published. The decision about the student affairs budget for academic year 20032004 was communicated recently to The Pride staff, a fter the submission of the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding packet, which was turned in on March 10. The Pride's graduate student intern makes $3,500 per semester, which has historically been paid for by the office of student affairs, led by Francine Martinez. The Pride is currently operating as a class known as LTWR/COMM 316, and is staffed by students enrolled in the class, three paid student editors, and one paid graduate student intern. The graduate student intern position has been terminated, as the help supervise the larger student affairs budget can numbers of writers.. .bolster an editorial staff that often no longer support it. lacks experience with AP or journalist protocol, etc." Without the graduate intern position, The Pride Desmond Barca, design will not be able to operate in and photo editor for The the fall o f2003 at its current level, and the future for The Pride, also responded, Pride beyond that time "One of two things would is in question.

The intern role is crucial to managing a large group of writers, most of whom have no previous experience with producing tins specialized form of language. Additionally, without the graduate student intern position, the newspaper will have to operate without regular office hours. This would not only be detrimental to our ability to serve the campus community, but would also be financially crippling to The Pride's ability to raise revenue through taking advertisements, putting The Pride ever further from its goal of becoming independent from the university and some day serving the greater San Marcos community."

For those who ask about the location of this place this is on the fourth floor of Craven Hall. It is the Career Assessment Center - a place that students may do well to know more about. The sign next to the door explicates that employment can be found within the walls of the Craven 4201 office. That is just the beginning. There are resources to the Career Assessment Center (CAC) that apply to every student, from freshman to senior. One helpful trait for students is that there is no charge for services. If employment is desired, students may check out the binders labeled OnCampus, Off-Campus, Non-Degree and Internships for several job opportunities. If contemplating graduate school, there is a library of information to read through. Some of the services the CAC offers are mock interviewing to prepare students for the real interview experience. Also in the center are handouts that deal with preparing cover letters, thank you letters, questions that can be asked during the interview, how to dress for a job interview, what to do if the interview goes well, and how to write an acceptance letter. Using the center's website at www.csusm.edu/ cac, students may select the Salary Survey link that shows how much of an income will be necessary in order to sustain a living in any state of the U.S. There is even information on how to handle the more difficult side of employment, that of being laid off or downsized. Seniors planning on moving to another state after graduation may utilize what is called "Relocation Resources" where a relocating graduate student can find "east coast jobs" or "southern jobs" depending on their destination. There is even an apartment rental relocation guide in order to three to four more critiques help find a place to live. on the resume if needed.

If paying a outside mined. professional for the same Since there is a deadline to having the resume ready for distribution, it is highly recommended and cannot be stressed enough that ample time is given to do resume critiquing services, the costs run anywhere from $50 to $85 an hour. If students did not use the center's service of distributing the resumes to some 50 companies that have signed up to be a part of the program and instead chose to use an agency, they would have the possibility of getting a lower income. Their future employer may pay off the agency out of their salary. For companies to be a part of the distribution, they have to sign up with the center. The CAC also offers a variety of workshops, such as "Get Registered and Get a Job," which teaches how to become a member to the Cougar Trak and gain access to online job listings, local and nationwide. There are also links such as Effective Interviewing, Resume Writing, How to Network, and Hot Tips for Job Fair Success to help students find employment. these types of interviews. There are also self-help computerized tests to show what type of personality a student has, which could help them figure out what type of work they would most enjoy. There is also literature on what type of job a student could get according to their major, so students interested in finding more about their majors or interested field can visit the center to obtain more information. The vast resources the Career Assessment Center holds are at the fingertips of all Cal State San Marcos students. They are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities.

Before The Pride, there was The Pioneer. As with many things in life, Cal State San Marcos's student newspaper had a predecessor. Now, after 10 years of The Pride's establishment, it's time to take a look back and see how all of this started. During the second year of CSUSM in 1990, the students got together to create their own student newspaper. The Pioneer was published for the first time in Sept. 4,1990. The first editor-in-chief was Larry Boisjolie. Boisjoilie together with Jonathan Young, assistant editor, were in charge of the paper until fall of 1992 and for the first time ever on May 14, 1991, the student's voice was published in color. The 11x13inch paper was published every two weeks on Tuesdays with an average of 16 pages. In the spring of 1993, Roman S. Koenig became the editor. Then during the next fall, Mary Zyterpakiewicz became the new editor in chief. The newspaper continued to be published every two weeks and had an average of 16 pages, but was published on Fridays. It was during that time that The Pioneer looked for a new name, in the You Name It issue, and a call was made to all the students to submit their suggestions. On the November 5 edition in 1993, The Pioneer became The Pride. The Pride was the winning name submitted by Koenig. According to the editorial published in that same edition, this name was chosen because it conveyed the pride in oneself, one's school, and one's community, as well as meaning a group of lions, which was appropriate because the campus location was the former home of the mountain lion. At the same time the new name was adopted, The Pride obtained an office in ACD 208 and their first phone number, which is the same of one of the two current offices, extension 4998. After that, Koenig shared the editorship with Zyterpakiewicz in the spring and fall of 1994. During this period, the paper was published every other Wednesday, and ranged from 8-12 pages. In the spring of 1995, Derek O. Smith became the editor-inchief. The paper was then published every Monday. However, in the fall of the same year, Koenig became once again the lead editor and the paper went back to being published every Wednesday. Nevertheless, some new things happened. The offices were moved to Academic Hall, room 14-324, the first fax number was given, an online-version of the paper was created, and there was an advisory panel of faculty and a staff of 6 people. Tony Barton, the editorin-chief during the following spring semester in 1996, had an advisory panel of 8 members. However, from the fall of 1996 until the spring of 1997, The Pride became an 11x17 inch tabloid size with 8 pages, and Tom Nolan, a professional journalist, became The Pride's only advisor. Then, in the spring of 1997 and the fall of 1998, the paper went back to its old 10xl2-inch size. David Johnson became the editor-in-chief and Nolan continued as the advisor. However, The Pride website went dormant. In the spring of 1999, The Pride essentially died, because no newspaper course was offered and therefore no support was given for the production of the paper that semester. However, because of the dedication and commitment of a few individuals, The Pride was reborn in the fall of 1999. The lead editors, Leiana Naholowaa and Samantha Cahill, together with literature and writing studies (LTWR) and women's studies professor Madeleine Marshall, who became the second advisor, reorganized the newspaper. The newspaper went back to its llxl7-inch size paper, and was published on Mondays. It was also basically put together in the Commons 201 office, which still is The Pride office today. A class listed as both LTWR 316 and communication (COMM) 316 was also created for writers who would help out with the production of the paper. This is how The Pride still works today. Also, the position of graduate intern was established, which allowed the requirement of the professor's signature to be became the advisor, she describes that, "In consultaeliminated. ; tion with each year's editors, Marshall mentioned the I select the editors for the reasons why she decided to following year - and bear get involved with the news- the responsibility for these paper.

Since May of last year, Naholowaa and Cahill also started The PLS (The Pride Literary Supplement) as a way to give the students an opportunity to publish their academic writing for the entire student community. The Pride has been under the leadership of Alyssa Finkelstein and Martha Sarabia. The paper has at times increased to 16 pages, and some editions have been in color. A Spanish section has been added, which spurred some controversy at the beginning, but nevertheless it is still part of the paper. Also, during this academic year, Design Editor Desmond Barca changed The PLS to more of a magazine-format with smaller, color pages, as opposed to the same size of the newspaper, as it was published before.

It's not any fault of the students - the school doesn't support a vibrant student paper.

Even if writers don't plan to be journalists, there are many careers that require skills like writing persuasively, the ability to gather appropriate information on a deadline, the ability to ask good questions and know how to package answers, etc." Chambers also commented, "As a school in California, where student activism was born, Cal State San Marcos should have a strong commitment to free expression. On the surface, the excuse that the school needs to save money appears specious. It doesn't cost that much to publish a school newspaper, and the administration - if it is committed to the First Amendment - should support the paper every step of the way. I understand some administrators have been upset about the content of The Pride, and have tried to restrict what can and cannot be printed. They should read the law - the students make those decisions. If this 'budget cut' scheme winds up looking anything like retaliation for what The Pride printed, Cal State will be opening itself up to lawsuits to reinstate the paper."

The actions of the student affairs office, led by Vice President Francine Martinez and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard, have raised this fundamental question. Their answer should be troubling to everyone who values the free and open exchange of information, for the simple fact that a press is not free if it is expected to follow the agenda of those who hold its purse strings. Because of their decisions, the current state of The Pride is in serious question. Firstly, the higher ups have prohibited The Pride from selling ads to businesses that want to advertise any kind of alcoholic drink specials. Poullard stated that the words "happy" and "hour" should not be seen next to each other in any ad sold. Then Martinez said that using the phrase "happy hour" was acceptable as long as drinks weren't specifically mentioned, and that we are free to sell ads to companies that are in the business of exploitation i.e. strip clubs. work against promotion of alcoholism and under age drinking. This attitude is a farce. If the administration cares so much about protecting students from ourselves, why do they have an assortment of shot glasses for sale right on campus in our own bookstore? Cal State San Marcos is not a dry campus. Even the incoming dorm students will be permitted to drink in their homes, if of age. Explain the logic behind this policy. Regardless of the merits of attempting to limit underage drinking, it is not the administration's job to censor the primary student publication. If they want to launch an anti-drinking campaign, they should do like everyone else and purchase ad space. This action seriously cripples our abilities as a newspaper to grow and determine our own content. It is because of The Pride's reliance on the CSU system for financial funding that the administration thinks it can dictate what is printed on these pages. However, legally they cannot punish The Pride when the content does not meet their approval - this includes ALL Like most student newspapers, The CONTENT. Their policy of restricting a Pride was founded with the desire to bring significant portion of the papers revenue stream will retard its growth -perhaps this the campus population a publication by the students, for the students, and free is their goal. from the heavy-handed or self-serving pressures often exerted by administrators. We are in an institute of higher learning, not a daycare center! They claim to have a In the early days, admission to the class moral responsibility to the student body to required instructor permission, which aga It s resulted in having a small class size, which in turn suppressed productivity. There was little structure to the publication, sometimes going two to three weeks before turning out a new issue. Problems with generating ad revenue made reliance on the administration for financial assistance all the more crucial. We have come a long way since then. The Pride is now open to anybody who wants to take the course (communication 316 or literature and writing 316). We are a regular paper that turns out 2,500 copies per week and continues to increase our readership. The ability to generate and maintain enough ad revenue to move off campus and work independently of the CSU system would be the ideal way to ensure journalistic freedom. Though The Pride is not entirely self-sufficient, it is and has been the common goal to become so. Following the disagreement concerning The Pride's alcohol policy, the administrators decided to cut the graduate intern position. Though the events may be unrelated, this may prove to be the most devastating blow to The Pride yet. Leiana Naholowaa, the current graduate intern makes $3,500 per semester, which is paid for out of the office of Student Affairs. What makes the matter worse is that administrators have cut the position 'after the advisor for The Pride applied for the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding, which might have been able to compensate for the loss. This means that there is no way to subsidize lost funds. Administrators made this decision after the budget for next year was set in stone. This means that there is no way to subsidize the graduate intern position. The graduate intern offers support in the actual production of the paper, provides an office presence for interested members of the community and as a backup for possible advertisers, and offers assistance to an inexperienced group of journalists and editorial team. This "by the students, for the students" dynamic is crucial for this publication to work, and for this publication to work the presence of non-faculty veteran leadership is essential. Putting aside the ideological implications of losing the graduate intern, the simple fact that this would require the advisor to work the extra 20 hours per with no increase in pay. This is both unreasonable and unacceptable. a t r e m e n d o u s l y f i n n y look at t h e a b s u r d i t i e s and contradictions of g r o w i n g u p m a l e i n A m e r i c a a s o l o p e r f o r m a n c e p i e c e w r i t t e n by Kilmartin an d f e a t u r i n g Chris Gregg Stull direetel by FREE performance on Tuesday.

Administrators say the position must go because of state-wide budget cuts, but it seems peculiar that the university would cut such an important position days after Martinez and Poullard disputed The Pride's advertising decisions. The school is not going to save very much money on the graduate intern. It seems possible that the real reason is that Martinez and Poullard are not committed to a free press, and this may be a haunting specter of things to come. These decisions made by the administration seriously undercut our ability to function properly and have forced our hand. We have chosen to respond in the only way we know how — by reporting it. Throughout his term, President Gonzalez knew the importance of having a campus paper and was one of our biggest supporters, but in this time of uncertainty, no one seems to want to even hear the case presented. An institution without a newspaper that strives to get bigger and better cannot be considered a top quality university. Times are tough, especially in regards to the California budget, but do we risk taking a giant step backward as a college press for such a meager monetary amount? We have to ask ourselves, what is the future of the First Amendment on this campus? �The Rride the paper has gone a long way since it was started, it has room for more improvements. For Naholowaa, who is now The Pride graduate intern, this can be done in all aspects such as "production, online collaboration, and working with other departments on campus besides LTWR and COMM, which include the College of Business and the world languages department." Segall would like to see the paper be more than once a week, have more pages, have more writers, tackle more issues and have more investigative articles. P RO-WAR RHETORIC Response to Brian Dobbins Mr. Brian Dobbins, the poster-boy for the "praise America first" club, fails to understand my contention that the U.S. supports terrorism in the name of democracy. America facilitated the Iraqi acquisition of chemical and biological weapons; A very unique aspect for The Pride is that since its conception, the editors have exercised full freedom on the things they choose to print. "I believe so strongly in a free student press that I never interfere with the voice of the paper," said Marshall. Since the first editions of the CSUSM student newspaper, there has been a disclaimer saying that the freedom of expression is exercised during the paper's production. History from page 2 supported by the administration at a level in terms of operations, but I have never felt their support, nor their interest, in terms of growth for the newspaper and class," said Naholowaa, "The administration, including the LTWR and COMM departments, which The Pride class is listed under, [have] never shown a great interest in helping us grow in substantial ways and nor have they made any concrete plans for its future." The relationship between administrators and The For the future, present Pride editorial staff has and past editorial staff have not changed much from the many predictions. "The beginning. "Today, we are Pride has a very bright America encouraged Saddam's use of these weapons against the Iranians and Kurds. Regardless of what side these groups were fighting for, the use of chemical weapons is terrorism, plain and simple. The example of the Iraqi schoolhouse bombing was on Saul Landau's documentary entitled "Iraq: Voices from future of being noi just THE campus paper, tjut the most prominent newspaper in the San Marcos community," said Naholowaa. Marshall also has repeatedly said that she envisions seeing The Pride as the San Marcos city paper. Segall expressed, "Now that The Pride has come so far, I couldn't imagine the university without a student newspaper. If we lost the student newspaper, it would be like th$ university taking a step back, rather than a step forward towards enhancing student l ife" Segall also took the opportunity to remind LETTERS the Street" which was part of his anti-war seminar here on campus. U.S. support of tyrannical despots, repressive regimes, and terrorism did not stop with Saddam.

The C olumbian-paramilitary forces receive U.S. aid in the form of ¿¿arms; commit atrocities upon all dissidents, most of whom actually have nothing to do with drug cartels, as you claim.

It is indisputable that The Pride has covered many issues at CSUSM. It covered racism issues during the early years of the university being founded, involving state Senator William Craven, the beginning of the parking problem, Alexander Gonzalez being named the president, the errors made by the construction company hired to increase the The Pride, with the help of The Pioneer, little by little has become CSUSM's public diary and sometimes the eyes that many school administrators wish were not present. However, there is nothing to be done; The Pride is and hopefully will continue to be the Cal State San Marcos student newspaper for many years to come. Furthermore, well over 30 times the U.S. has vetoed U.N. resolutions to stop the unlawful occupation of Palestinian territories by Israeli terrorists. Therefore, when the U.N. does try to enforce resolutions that run contrary to U.S. policy, the U.S. does not hesitate to use its veto power as a sitting member on the Security Council. Whether the attacks come from suicide bombers or through unlawful occupation through superior armament (U.S. subsidized), it is terrorism.

We know that promotion and availability are the major factors that influence a person's decision to drink, so why would The Pride suggest our school start down this path? Apparently, Cundiff believes alcohol advertising would solve some funding issues. On the contrary, how many ads would the university have to sell to cover the cost of dealing with a problematic drinking culture on campus?
