The debate took place in Founders Plaza from 10a.m. to lp.m. Topics explored at the debate included the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism as well as various other current political and social issues. PAN was represented by Lanysha Adams and Cheyenne Barr. Ashley Stuart and Nick Bonomi represented the positions of the College Republicans. The debate drew a crowd pf some 45-50 students. The debate became heated at times as both sides sought to explain their respective positions on each issue. Some issues were discussed as partisan positions rather than responses to specific questions. At times both groups agreed in part on some of the topics. "I - really think we need a regime change," said Barr, PAN vice president of external affairs, on the issue of who should be the next president, "and that we need Kerry to be our president to keep year's deficit of $2.5 million. Allison said that as a result of the nearly $1 million in funds being returned to Cal State San Marcos there will be an additional 159 full-time students allowed to enroll this fall. 15 class sections are also being added to the fall class schedule. Enrollment in the additional courses is open until Wednesday, September 22. There is no petition required to add these sections and no late fees will be assessed. This year CSUSM prepared Students and faculty responded last week to President Karen S. Haynes and the Executive Council's decision to remove school funding directed towards financing the scheduled appearance of controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. President Haynes released a statement on Wednesday Sep^HHH tember 13 citing * Michael Moore several reasons for the cancellation. In the statement Haynes said, "The proposed date, only a few weeks away, does not allow time to identify and secure a speaker of comparable significance who can provide a balancing perspective during this election year." "Universities are about the exchange of ideas. Some ideas are uncomfortable, but being exposed to them is how we become confident or our own beliefs and values. That said, however, it is important that discussions be balanced," said Haynes. "The University recognizes the need to present diverse points of view. Therefore we will delay Mr. Moore's appearance until later in the academic year, and after the election, pending agreement between his schedule and ours, and until we can consider how to provide a balancing perspective." In response to the cancellation 64 members of the faculty signed an open letter directed to the President and the executive council. The letter dated September 15 expressed "strong opposition to the Executive Council's decision to postpone Michael Moore's scheduled speaking engagement..." "We feel that this decision repeats a disturbing pattern of See BUDGET, page 2 See MOORE, page 3 Photos by Peter S chwartz / The Pride Above: Ashley Stuart and Nicholas Bonomi of the College Republicans present their argument last Tuesday.

See DEBATE, page 2 CSUSM receives neerly $1 million in budget money BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos is in the midst of a budget deficit for the third consecutive year as a result of state education budget cuts. " (B^get year) 2004-05 was probably the worst of the three years. This was the first time that the campus had been told to reduce its target enrollment," Terry Allison, Interim Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Finance and Administrative Services, said. As a result of these cuts in enrollment 200 fewer students were allowed to enroll at Cal State San Marcos this fall semester than the previous year. In the CSU system, monies are allocated according to full time student enrollment. This year enrollment was cut by 23,000 students statewide in order accommodate the decrease in state education funding. This continues the trend of reduction in enrollment in the CSU system. Last year, 250 fewer students were admitted at CSUSM than the previous year due to cuts in the state university system budget. CSUSM's budget was originally cut by $3.8 million this year. However on the day that the CSU system budget was signed $40.5 million was reallocated back to the entire CSU system. Cal State San Marcos received nearly $1 million - $995,914 to be exact - of the $40.5 million in returned student revenues; however, it was not enough to truncate the university's remaining $2,430,781 net deficit for this fiscal year. Had the University not received this additional funding, this year's budget deficit would have exceeded last �Editorial Staff Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin Michael Dolan Layout Design & Photo Editor Jason Encabo A & E Editor Chrissy Baldwin Features Editor Eric Mercado News Editor Chezare Milo Business Manager Nicole Pilcher Adviser Jenifer Woodring Staff Writers Erika Bales Sarah Coleson Jared Devore Amira El-Khaouli Patricia Guevarra Heather Hoffman Ryan James Amanda Johnson Christopher King William Lemon Phoenix Lindgren Tiffany Lin Daniel Lowe Maribei Mayo Jamarr Patrick Scott Phillips Katie Powers Lindsay Riedel Joshua Sandoval Kim Schlatter Peter Schwartz Liza Valdez Karlene Wiegand All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do not nec essarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University San Marcos* Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion of The Pride editorial board, Photos by Peter Schwartz / The Pride DEBATE, from page 1 America safe and free." Barr added, "I really hope that Kerry will get elected. I like what he stands for with things like the Patriot Act, the war in Iraq, (and) the war on our civil liberties." "We are obviously support- ing George W. Bush and I find it to be unfortunate that Kerry doesn't stand for anything at all," said Stuart, chair of the College Republicans. "I can't pick one thing he has been consistent on." "I disagree with all of his (Kerry's) policies.

"We have a very general view of what a terrorist is and I fail to understand why we are fighting a war on a tactic." "I think that having an invisible wall torn down (between government intelligence departments) is a good thing because then we have checks and balances," said Barr. "But when you can define a terrorist by anything that John Ashcroft says, well that's a big problem. When that can't be disputed or vetoed in any way from congress or any group of people well then he has complete authority to throw someone into jail," added Barr. Bonomi agreed that removing barriers between intelligence departments was a good thing. "The benefit... it's a big one," said Bonomi. Bonomi defended U.S. intelligence agencies' right to conduct "sneak and peek operations." Bonomi also stated that the Patriot Act was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. The next debate to be held between the College Republicans and PAN is scheduled for October 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 1p.m. on the steps of Founders Plaza. The Republicans have scheduled Larry Greenfield, the Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition of Southern California, to debate on their behalf. PAN has yet to announce a speaker on their behalf.

Vietnam for the right reasons, yet when he got out he went against his own country," said Bonomi, executive director of the College Republicans. "President Bush will protect America every time." "I agree that we need to have more security. The problem I see is that most of the money is going overseas, it's going into Iraq. Most of the money isn't staying here," said Barr on the topic of homeland security. "The war on terrorism will never be over until all the terrorists have been removed," said Stuart. " I view the war on terror as a war on crime, it's a long war, it will never be completely over but we can fight it and we can be effective," said Nick Bonomi. "It's (the war on terrorism) a deterrent. It's effective and when people are put in check when they are doing something wrong they will eventually do what is right." Lanysha Adams, film series coordinator for PAN, responded to Bonomi's perception of the war on terror with a different interpretation. "The war on terror is not something material. The war on terror is a war on a philosophical and political idea," said Adams.

The letter also called the "very logic of requiring balanced perspectives flawed." "Were we to follow it to its conclusion, we might decide to invite a speaker to defend the violence of racist mobs, since there is currently a very public exhibit in our new library that is unabashedly critical of lynching" The letter concluded that, "balance should come not from mechanical juxtaposition of speakers with opposing opinions. It should come from our community as we weigh issues, evidence and opinions. What could more effectively stimulate this healthy process than an energetic and reasoned political speech just the time when such arguments matter most?" "We urge you (President Haynes) and the Executive Council to reverse your decision and allow our community the opportunity to engage critically with this timely speaker and his challenging ideas." Many faculty members also sent individual letters of protest to President Haynes. "The arguments (implied and explicit) that the University is a neutral marketplace of ideas and that balance in exchange can only be achieved by having another equally famous speaker (film maker?) on the stage with Moore are unpersuasive," said professor Dreama Moon. "Under the com- èli mittee's logic, this campus may not have any public presentation of any type that puts forth a particular viewpoint without having a counter viewpoint expressed. If we pursue this rationale to its (il)logical conclusions, it appears ludicrous as well as unwieldy. So the lynching exhibit requires a complimentary KKK exhibit, Women's Herstory month activities require complimentary activities presenting patriarchal viewpoints of women, the Republican club may never have a speaker on campus without an accompanying Democrat (Green, Independent, ???), environmental educational seminars require a complimentary argument for the dumping of hazardous waste, etc.? I find this logic difficult to support." Students organized a campaign to submit letters to President Haynes voicing opposition to the cancellation. This week in Founders Plaza students can sign and submit form letters voicing their disapproval. The table will be open from 10a.m to 2p.m. Organizers of the letter writing campaign are urging all those who support Michael Moore's appearance to wear baseball caps this Thursday September 23. There is an organized protest to be held this upcoming Thursday September 23 from 11a.m. to lp.m. in the free speech area in between University Hall and the Kellogg Library. The protest is organized by concerned students, WSSA and PAN. All students and faculty are invited to attend • ! wm •* • regardless of political affiliation. Student Heather Frost Vance, one of the organizers of the protest this upcoming Thursday, called the cancellation of Moore, "detrimental to our development as responsible members of society, "and said that," the way it was handled makes me feel that the administration lacks true commitment to our educational freedom." Vance said that the cancellation sent the message that "they (CSUSM administration) aren't confident in our abilities as critical thinkers and the education provided us." There were also those who expressed support for President Haynes and the Executive Council's decision. "We support President Haynes and the Executive Council's decision, they did the right thing. Student funds should not be spent on a partisan speaker. It needs to be a speaker that's objective," said Nicholas Bonomi, executive director of the CSUSM College Republicans. "We should bring in someone that would speak for free. If they speak for free it means they care. If you need to pay them, the speaker obviously doesn't care about the audience." In a letter dated September 16, President Haynes responded to criticism of the cancellation. "I want to say to you "up front" that in retrospect, I know I could have handled this matter better. Since my arrival in February, I have tried to model a new kind of campus discussion built on openness and consultation.

Haynes also responded by saying, "many members of the campus community felt surprised arid disappointed by what happened, and I want to offer my apology for those feelings." Haynes continued to defend her and the council's decision by stating, "The university is prohibited from using state funds for partisan political activity. We are in the midst of a hard-fought presidential election. Were we to host Mr. Moore a month from now using state funds, without balancing his appearance with an alternate perspective, we would be in violation of the law.

Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall, associate professor of history, was recently chosen to receive the President's Award for Innovation in Teaching. "She is not only a distinguished scholar, but also a very effective teacher," said Tony Acevedo, a former student of Sepinwall. "She is also one of the nicest and concerned professors a student could hope to meet" "I nominated Dr. Sepinwall for the award because f think that her innovative teaching methods bring out the best in her students and the material at hand," said Photos by Eric Mercado / The Pride Acevedo. When asked about the award Sepinwall commented on how touched she was that the students nominated her and the committee decided that she had earned the award. She was quick to give credit to others. "There are so many wonderful teachers on campus. I'm just the one chosen this year. I am very humbled to be recognized in this way," said Sepinwall. She credited her colleagues with giving her many of her teaching ideas. "She offers fresh and originative approaches to teaching her classes," said Acevedo. These creative methods include panel discussions, movies and sometimes even dancing.

One new face in the crowd has a vision to bring the athletic department to something students and faculty can be proud of. His name is Dr. Stephen Nichols and he is our new interim director of athletics for at least the next two years. Dr. Nichols graduated with a bachelor's degree from CSU Long Beach, and earned his master's and Ph.D. degrees from Ohio State. Q: What is your background in the field of sports? A: When I attended Western High School in Orange County, I was involved with the swim team and the water polo team. After high school, I played water polo for Cypress Community College, but not for long. Currently, I participate in triathlons (swimming, biking & running) and just ran a half Iron Man in Oceanside last March. Q: What brought you to CSU San Marcos? A: After entertaining offers from other schools, like University of Washington, I visited CSU San Marcos with no prior knowledge of this school. After interviewing for the position, I felt that this was a school where I could be happy and give the athletic department all the help I can. It is also exciting to come back to southern California. Q: What are your immediate priorities for the athletics department? .; A: I think it's time for our athletics to grow. Currently, CSU San Marcos is in the NAIA and our goal as a department is to get into the NCAA, Division 2. To accomplish this we need to get two more team sports and it looks like a soccer team is next in line. Volleyball is another sport that we would like to see added to our athletic department. We're looking to add onsite sporting events so the student body can get into the school's athletic teams Most people don't realize that CSU San Marcos has already produced a national champion in track and field and the golf teams have a high ranking within the NAIA. Q: What is your direct role with the CSU San Marcos athletes? ,. . . .. . A: My role is to make sure that each sports program is running smooth. Part of my job is to evaluate our athletes both academically and behaviorally. I also speak at award ceremonies or help out directly, like next month when I pick up our golf team at the airport. My goal is to handle any problem that might arise, in a punctual and professional manner. Q: How can CSU students learn more about our athletic department? A: There is always information available at the Clark Field House, and the school holds tryouts. The best way to get information on a particular sport is to contact the coach. Because we are trying to be as competitive as we can in athletics, we have a very active recruiting process that looks for exceptional athletes with good academic standing. It is exciting that the athletic department is taking steps to give our school first-rate sports teams. Students will be able to rally around teams, which in turn would bring the student body closer. It appears the outcome of Dr. Nicholas hiring will be a new sense of school pride for CSUSM athletics. QL �Surf t eam p repares for u pcoming s eason BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer On September 25 at Crosswaithe St. in Oceanside, Associated Student, Inc. (ASI) Surf Tryouts will be searching for dedicated and talented potential surf team members. Tryouts will begin at 8:00 a.m. with each participant receiving three chances to showcase their talent for coaches. Participants will surf in three heats with six competitors in each heat. The divisions you can try out for include men's short board, women's short board, co-ed long board and co-ed body board. Each division will compete according to the style of board they Surf to keep things fair. Team manager Ryan James and Coach Amber Puha encourage all CSUSM students to come out and participate. Last year, the ASI Surf Team placed 4 th overall, a strong showing at the very competitive NSSA Nationals contest. The team returns this year looking for new talent to pave the way in the 2004 season. Strong performers in last year's competitions were John Graves, Eric Warner and Ryan James. The ASI Surf Team is lead by coach Dr. Amber Puha, and team manager Ryan James. "Coach Amber Puha is the key reason we have a surf team at CSUSM," said James. "She is very knowledgeable about the sport of surfing." The ASI Surf Team competes at some of the best surf spots in Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer What do you dream about? If you were given one wish, what would it be? What's your fantasy? Well, the fantasy of any sports fan since the beginning of time has been to run a professional sports team. That is the reason why fantasy sports have become such a huge success. If you are a sports fanatic, or know a sports fanatic, chances are you know about fantasy sports. For those that don't know what the heck I am talking about I will give you a quick run down on the basics for fantasy football. You join a league with a bunch of your friends where each person receives their own team. Before the football season starts you draft some players compiling a team of a quarterback, kicker, running backs, wide receivers, and a team defense. Each week in the NFL season you match your team against someone else in the to leagues like that can cost thousands of dollars with obviously high rewards. Fantasy sports are a blast to play with a bunch of your friends and I have been doing so since 1999 with a group of some of my best friends. However, fantasy games haven't brought all positives to the sports world. This fantasy sports craze has made it so that people forget who their favorite sports team is. Sometimes you will find yourself rooting your team on but you look across the field and see the opposing team which so happens to have your fantasy teams star player which puts you in a predicament. Do you root for your favorite football team or do you root for your fantasy team? Well sadly many people are choosing the later. Sports fans are slowly turning into fantasy sports fans which is a sad site for any true sports lover. win Fantasy games are fun to play small if you don't get carried away. prizes such With no end in sight I hope that as shirts or ban- those of you who do play keep in ners.

This voice is the foundation of democracy. Our Po,, freedom of speech y Charoenkwanchai is what makes us a nation different from those that have attacked us. Our country is based on taking sides: Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green Party etc. Choices are a part of being American. It is our right and our duty to question how capable the leaders of this country are, because if it is anything but an optimistic illusion, these leaders serve us: The People. As a Democrat, I have come to realize that there is no truth when it comes to politics. The belief that a president is guiding us with the best interest of his constituents rather than that of greedy power-hungry corporations is a leap of blind faith. With a world that is at times scary to live in, we have come closer and closer to falling without a net. So that begs the question* who should we trust? Who is right? Is there a right? I'm not proposing that the truth lies within the words of Michael Moore. It is not his reputation for controversy that earned my support. It is his unrelenting passion to speak his mind, despite the opinion of the general public. I realize that not everyone wants to hear Moore ranting but there is a remedy: the OFF button. This would have worked in a situation where he could have appeared as a speaker. My advice: Just don't buy tickets. People who are put off by Moore argue that he is unpatriotic. A patriot is someone who loves, supports and defends their country. Patriotism is not always relative to the context of War. Defending my country is an act that entails more than just the ability to bear arms. I strongly support our troops despite the fact that I am opposed to the mirage we call a cause. Moore's suspicions about the true nature of this war are not based on hearsay. There is documented proof in his books and films. He includes news articles that hint to a deeper, more corrupt reason to why we invaded and conquered Iraq. These doubts, mirrored by my own, make it hard for me to believe that this war was fought for the cause of the American people. I love America, but it's the system that bother me. I can not understand how we can attempt to silence someone who believes that teachers deserve more respect and more pay than what they feebly call their salary. This university is mainly Michael Moore isn't coming and I'm mad as hell. The primary excuse given by administration spokesperson Rick Moore in the September 14 issue of The Pride was the impossibility of Phoenix Lindgren scheduling enough additional speakers to balance out Moore's viewpoint. What I don't understand is why a filmmaker/ author, appearing offcampus, necessitates a balanced discussion? I like Michael Moore, which is not to say that I agree with him. (I mean, c'mon, does he really want me to believe Bush was in cahoots with Osama and the Bin Laden family to cook up 9/11 to make himself look good and make all his friends rich? Photo courtesy of MGM Home Entertainment I'm not buying it.) But I still composed of students who hope respect him as to become future teachers. How a person with can an institution of education an opinion, not rely on its students to have and I'm always the mental capacity to decide interested in what is fair and balanced? Moore how others was cancelled because he was view the world. too "politicized." It would not But by r efusbe impartial to have him without ing to bring having someone represent the in Michael polar opposite. Moore is not a Moore, alone politician. His issues are not an and uncenattack against one party over sored, the another. His manifesto is from an administration everyday man against the crooked has elevated bureaucracy. an opinionated Photo courtesy of Michael Moore is a different www.csusm.edu/president filmmaker to kind of American; the type who refuses to be complacent. If we were to a position of influential, partisan politico, silence this man on that reason alone, it imparting on Moore's opinions much greater weight and stature than they would be unpatriotic of us. either deserve, or would have had, had the engagement gone forward as planned. Rick Moore also mentioned Michael Moore's "decision to politicize himself" as a reason for not bringing him in, which begs the question: When was Moore not politicized? Both "Stupid White Men" and "Dude, Where's My Country?" were released in paperback shortly before last year's scheduled appearance; Moore's publisher, Warner Books, states that in "Dude, Where's My Country?," "Michael Moore is on a mission in his new book: Regime Change," and in "Stupid White Men" Moore calls for the UN to, "overthrow the Bush Family Junta." So last year it was okay for Moore to appear alone, and this year it's not? Another excuse given is that this is an election year and last year wasn't (it actually was, but the recall was over by Moore's scheduled appearance date). Let's be honest here: most people will already have their minds made up before they go see Moore anyway. I would also wager that the students of CSUSM — along with the rest of the potential attendees of Moore's appearance - will take more than one person's opinion into account before deciding how to vote, no matter how close to the election they hear it. So bring on Moore. We no more need to hear a balanced viewpoint when he speaks in person than we need when we see him on film, which is a good thing, considering that the CSUSM Center ARTES has scheduled a free, on-campus showing of Fahrenheit 9/11 on October 5 (as part of the Arts & Lectures Series). Yank the speaker, but not his film? Gee whiz, that kind of makes me think all those excuses were just a load of crap. Maybe Rick Moore's claim during an interview on the Stacy Taylor show (aml360) is true: Michael Moore was cancelled for fear that his appearance would offend CSUSM's big donors. Bring in Michael Moore and lose money? Now there's an excuse any good Republican can appreciate. �Tuesday, September 21 2004 I salute the Presidents' efforts to stop Michael Moore. However, the problem is not solved. ASI is supposed to be non-partisan. They openly attack the governor, the president, and now they Dear President Haynes, I have always thought of you as a great leader in our school. You have participated in events with students, created a nice and happy environment; you even got us all some lunch last week. But your administration's decision to cancel Michael Moore shows deep disregard for the students of CSU San Marcos. First of all, Mr. Moore was scheduled to speak approximately a year ago with out question. As you know he was postponed because of the fires. He has since, as far as i know, decided to reschedule for this October. So your administration then decides to cancel his appearance? This should not even be a question! Vyl llìlVylì THE PRIDE representative from ASI, they are participating in illegal activity. This needs to stop now. ASI should not be involved in politics period. If another student org was raising the funds it would be fine. But to have our supposed to be non-partisan ASI hold such a money raising effort is illegal. PS My college republican group is bringing in a speaker on October 26th for a small event. And he is doing it for free. Speakers that really care about their message do it for free. But Michael needs to laugh all the way to the bank. Nicholas J Bonomi Executive Director CSUSM College Republicans this university on the map. This will set a platform for all kinds of speakers both liberal and conservative. Let me tell you, you will I had already heard talk never find some one to balance Michael Moore, at about the governator least within our budget. But coming. I know you talk about you don't have to balance postponing him to a later him. Students going to see date but that would be him are either going react pointless. As one Student in one of two ways.

This action that your administration has made would not happen at SDSU, UCSD, or many other major collages or universities. Please I urge you to reconsider this choice. As I write this letter, there are hundreds, yes HUNDREDS of students mobilizing against this action because they wanted to see Michael Moore. Don't be the president that will be remembered for suppressing speakers because of political views. Concerned Undergraduate Student, Felipe Robinson-Zanartu I hope all of us would not want to continue negotiating with a car dealer that had a teenager's offer fall through, which was contingent on his /her parents cosigning for a loan, if that car dealer responded by threatening to sue everybody. Real estate offers are usually contingent on several factors, including inspections, securing loans, selling of other real estate, et cetera. I suspect that in politics and the entertainment industry, they are no different in their offer and contract practices. I think we should no longer even pretend to be associated with a Michael Moore appearance in North County due to his reaction. The headline in this week's, The Pride, now looks deceptive. If there was no contract, what was cancelled? Editorial responsibility? A much more truthful headline would have been "Not with state funds". ASI should reconsider student fund support for a newspaper that has major problems with its headlines. Given the budget problems that this campus is facing, we all can think of better uses of state and student funds under the current circumstances. Thanks for your time, Bob Dickey Chemistry Senior are committing to raise funds for a very polarizing speaker. ASI officers are paid salary with student funds. Any time they are working to get Michael Moore to campus and they are acting as a Presidents, Ladies and California taxpayer (mostly Gentlemen, sales tax), still support his I did see Michael Moore's right to free speech, but no latest film, Fahrenheit 911. longer support my fees or I believe that there were taxes going to his speaking several questions raised expenses. that current Federal Office I would, however, support Holders should answer the ASI and / or the with complete honesty. It University offering to pay would be interesting to see Open University fees for Michael Moore speak. Michael Moore to attend However, given that a class where he can learn Michael Moore's reaction, the differences between to a contingent offer falling a contingent offer and a through, is threatening legal contract. Universities, after action, I, as a fee paying all, are primarily about student at CSUSM and a learning. �Dear Editor, I am writing to protest President Haynes' and the Executive Council's decision to veto Michael Moore's appearance at our campus for a screening of his powerful, provocative film, "F. 911." This undemocratic violation of academic freedom saddens and angers me. Since when must a public university maintain a total "fair and balanced" policy (a la Fox News' hypocritical slogan)? The vast majority of mass media and private institutions are strongly Dear Madam President; My name is Christopher Mitchell, I am a History Major and a Senior at Cal State University San Marcos. I wanted to offer you my support in canceling the intended visit of Michael Moore. I agree with your assessment of the situation and, as a student here at CSUSM, I support you in this matter, however, unpopular it may have been to make. Mr. Moore's political beliefs are not in question in this matter. Executive Council, order CoBA to invite an equal number of communist and biases towards conservative union spokespersons? Will President Haynes politics. Quality order the Library and Arts educational institutions and Lectures to balance should provide an open fairly their new exhibit forum for controversial and lecture on lynching in people and subjects—both America to invite the Ku left and right, but not Klux Klan to give their 100% balanced, which is side of the controversy— impossible. both an exhibit and a guest Almost all of the CSU speaker? Board of Trustee members Will President Haynes are conservative business unilaterally order a people. All of the CoBA temporary b an-just until "Inside the Executive the election is over—of Chair" and other CoBA guest speakers are wealthy any military recruiters and veteran events on business owners or executives. In the name of campus (because this is controversial and pro-war); fairness and balance, will or will she invite pacifists President Haynes and the and anti-war activists to participate equally with them? If we get a noted evolutionary scientist to speak on campus, will the Executive Council insist on balancing him/her with a creation scientist in the name of fairness? Lastly, Rick Moore's defensive comment that Michael Moore has politicized himself this year is absurd. Moore has been a political activist for many years. How can anyone believe that Moore's Oscar acceptance speech was not political and controversial? Having someone of the caliber of Michael Moore after the election is closing the barn door after the horse has fled. CSUSM has become Animal Farm University. I hope that Associated Students, CFA, and the Academic Senate defend academic freedom and democracy on our campus. STEVE WIENER Staff and former CSEA Chapter President for his film's authenticity. Just because the facts Mr. Moore artfully arranges in his films fit a certain thesis, does not necessarily mean that the thesis is true. For example, I have two dogs at my home. I make dinner in the evenings for my family. After dinner, I feed the table scraps to my dogs. Now, just because my dogs think that I make dinner for them every night does not make it so. So is the way of Mr. Moore's films. An artful arrangement of inconclusive facts that promote an unworkable thesis. Mr. Moore traded in honest political discourse for political propaganda. In all fairness, this happens more than I care to admit in politics today - on the left and on the right. Though I don't agree with Mr. Moore, or his one-sided propagandist views, having him appear on a public college campus, without a discerning counter-balance to his propaganda, is inappropriate a few weeks before a national election and not a good use of public funds. I applaud your decision and your reasoning behind it. Once the election is over, I don't see any reason why Mr. Moore can not visit the campus in a panel format with the appropriate panelists that could bring some sense to his implausible and propagandist view point. Thank you for your time in this matter. It is always hard to make an unpopular decision, even when it is the right one to make. Sincerely, Christopher Mitchell Senior, History Major His self-described "one sided" view of unrelated facts to fit implausible theories in his films makes him controversial to the point of being a political propagandist. Mr. Moore makes no apologies for his cleverly crafted use of film to promote his view of the world. I don't fault him for his views but I do fault him for his over-use of the "documentary" format which leaves the viewing public with more than a deserving appreciation �eed COJCKXt ^ ^ m ® I l i f e r n et.

"Lynching in America" awards a voice to an ugly time in America's history that is rarely discussed and often hushed. Billingslea has applied the usage of mixed media to help break a "Code of Silence" that has existed to protect the perpetrators of racial violence and silence the victims. Billingslea uses common objects filled with thoughtful symbolism to help people connect with victims who lost their lives to prejudicial injustice. She transforms written history into visual and tactile artistry that can be experienced and absorbed. The installation displays many dirty white dress shirts of men, women, and children. Billing- slea said that "by distressing white shirts, and hanging handsewn nametags from the sleeve, I honor each life." Because there are many unknown victims, Billingslea has placed a few shirts without tags, folded neatly on shelves to represent and honor their lives as well. Billingslea portrays the social aspects of lynching with a handsewn quilt made of recycled fabrics and authentic pictures to create a powerful message about the spectators. Billing- slea said that, "(At a lynching) people packed food and spread out blankets, as if attending a baseball game. Thousands of people watched, children were excused from school to attend with their parents and folks traveled hundreds of miles just to see a person be burned or hung." The pictures are a haunting reminder of America's brutal past and it really brings home the fact that people took pleasure from these horrific events. There are mason jars on shelves, which Billingslea says are "vestiges of violence" that represent things people might have taken away from a lynching for souvenirs, such as locks of hair, remnants of clothing, or ashes from victims who were burned. This installation is a moving tribute to the thousands of men, women and children that were lynched in our country and it serves as a lesson in humanity. 9 /24 Arts & Lectures Presents Noontime Oboe/Piano Concert Noon Arts 111 (Free event and open to the public...guests are encouraged to arrive early) Cougar Dancers Info Meeting 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Field House Grand Salon You must have previous dance experience.

The Faint: Wet From Birth BY WILL LEMON P ride S taff W riter Dianne (Lucy Davis), Liz (Kate Ashfield), David (Dylan Moran), Shaun (Simon P hoto c ourtesy w ww.uhm.com Pegg), Mom (Nicola Cunningham) and Ed (Nick Frost) pretend to be zombies. BY CHRISSY BALDWIN P ride S taff W riter Shaun (Simon Pegg, who also co-wrote the film with director Edgar Wright) isn't having a very good week. His co-workers have no respect for him and his girlfriend Liz has had enough of his laziness and inconsideration. She cannot stand to spend another evening with him in the local pub, the Winchester. Shaun isn't such a bad guy, but he has no ambition and seems to prefer the company of his unemployed, flatulent, video-game obsessed slob of aflatmate Ed (Nick Frost) to anyone else. As an added bonus, the dead have risen and are walking the earth in search of human flesh to feast upon. Shaun doesn't notice this fact as quick as he should (despite the fact that the TV and radio are broadcasting unexplained phenomenon), but Shaun is somewhat of a zombie himself, lost in his own world and distracted by his own thoughts as he walks past rotting cadavers that now fill the streets of London. The beginning of the movie takes on a satirical view of the commercialized world and how people walk about in a trance-like gaze oblivious to the happenings that surround them. When Shaun and Ed finally do realize what is happening, they form a half-wit plan to save Shaun's mum, rescue Liz and go to the pub where they can wait out the zombie infestation with a pint and a smoke. It may not be the best plan, but at least Shaun tried to do something constructive with his life. This movie covers a broad range of emotions from side- splitting laughter to heartfelt sincerity with zombies thrown into the mix. Normally, zombie horror movies end horribly, without giving too much away that is not the case with this movie. It may have to compete with the ultra-scary remake of George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" (on DVD in late October), but "Shaun" is able to stand on its own two feet. It should not be confused with horror spoof films, such as the "Scary Movie" trilogy, this movie is actually scary with parts that make you jump and gore that makes you cover your eyes. "Shaun of the Dead" opens in theaters Friday September, 24. If you are looking for a good time, check your local listings and be ready to have your socks knocked off. Omaha is the most unlikely city where you would expect to find a band making electronic music. But the Nebraska natives, who comprise The Faint, were able to create a dance album that sounds good even without ecstasy. For anyone acquainted with The Faint, Wet From Birth had big shoes to fill. With the success of their 2001 release Danse Macabre, The Faint have gained national and international respect as one of America's best electronic bands. Their album Danse Macabre went on to be one of their label's best-selling albums, and with their constant touring they are considered to be one of the best live acts. They have even worked with DJs such as Paul O akenfold to create a remix album entitled Danse Macabre Remixes. When going to record their new album they took their time. It took about a year for The Faint to write and record their new album. The time and care spent on this record shows. The production is phenomenal, much like Danse Macabre, and the songs are filled with 80's pop sensibilities and lots of synthesizers. But unlike Danse Macabre, The Faint sometimes stray away from this formula. On songs like "Birth" and "Dropkick the Punks," The Faint shy away from the drum machines and keyboards to create more guitar orientated songs. Some songs even overlap both genres. The song "I Disappear" takes the dance beats that make The Faint unique and interesting and blends them with more tradition guitar and bass. The lyrical content is very much similar to Danse Macabre. A major theme in both albums is consumer culture. Songs such as "Symptom Finger" demonstrate this, "The faintness that you feel is nothing permanent. Don't buy the sickness on T.V. You want your health they want the fee. You see the ads and start to think, I feel it coming on " While being even more blatantly political than on previous efforts they have become even more personal in their lyrics too. "How Could I Forget" shows this trait, "How could I forget a waste of breath? Of course I do, remember. All the things you said were pointless. And now you go on dropping names...mmm but I still dig you." The Faint have done a great job of doing what many artists can't do after a successful album, they made a CD that is just is good if W W M«W WEAK SO-SO DECENT ••••• GOOD GKEAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
