Fire alarms, located in each apartment near the stove and restroom, have been the major disturbance at the UVA. There have been 65 false alarms since the beginning of the semester. "The fire alarms are sensitive, they have to be, to avoid fires," said Brian Dawson, director of UVA. "They go off more frequently in the beginning of the year as students have to understand where the sensitivity level is at." The maj ority of false alarms on campus are from cooking. Only two false alarms this semester are from something else, one from steam and one from a blow dryer. "The first day I moved in I made pizza and it set off the alarm," said resident Robert Bothmer. "Since then every time I cook it seems they go off, but I gotta eat." Every time an alarm goes off a police officer is sent to make sure there isn't a fire and the Resident Assistant (RA) on call goes to See UVA, page 2 Moore info, Moore tickets TUESDAY, O CTOBER 5, 2 004 VOL. XII NO. 6 ASI, Moore decide to halt ticket sales to community to avoid early sellout BY LINDSAY RIEDEL Pride Staff Writer Michael Moore's scheduled tour stop at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on October 12 has created such an overwhelming demand for tickets that sales to non-students have been discontinued until October 7. Since Wednesday, September 29, distribution of tickets has been reserved for students, and each student is allowed only his or her one free ticket. Any addiJional ticket purchases must be done when regular ticket sales resume on Thursday, October 7 at 8:30 a.m. On the morning of September 29, it was agreed between Moore's representatives and ASI that priority would be given to students in regards to the distribution of tickets. According to Manal Yamout, president of ASI, this decision is due to the fact that on the first day of sales, 4,000 out of a total of 10,000 tickets were distributed, and a large majority of those tickets were sold to the community. ASI and Moore representatives felt it was necessary to give students priority in the ticket sales to make sure all students have the opportunity to get a ticket before the supply runs out. The tickets are not limited to CSUSM students but are available to all students with valid identification. The decision to hold off all sales has sparked unrest with community members who were told tickets would be available as of Tuesday, September 28. Because of the sudden decision and the See MOORE, page 2 x Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Students wait in line to receive their free ticket for Michael Moore's October 12 appearance at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Tickets were recently limited to only students due to the overwhelming response in ticket sales from the community.

Slated to open during the spring of 2006, the building will have a gross square footage of 75,765 feet, will include a mix of 33 tiered and flat classrooms, 88 faculty offices and hold 6 department chair offices. It will consist of four floors and will be located west of the Palm Court and east of the Academic Hall.

As a growing campus, class availability is an issue for students. The new business building will not necessarily help with the increase in number of classes for business major students, but it will provide more space.

Professor John Halcon waited in line for 45 minutes before he was told that tickets were reserved for students only. "There was a sign on the window but no sign toward the end of the line. You aren't going to walk up to the window, then go to the back of the line," said Halcon. " I'm irritated, not mad; I don't know if I'm going to go now, I don't know if I'll be able to get in line next week when they're ready to sell to people." Shortly after Halcon reported his experience, ASI displayed signs at the end of the line. By creating a time period for only students to receive tickets, students are not able to purchase tickets for family and friends at the same time. "I feel it's an unfortunate turn of events," said John Gehris, executive vice president of ASI.

Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establishments. Concerning Moore's appearance, there are mixed feelings, but most students are passionate in their position on the subject. "I've been raised as a Democrat, I've read his books and seen his movies," said Emily Broedling, senior communications major. "I know he's one-sided but it's good to hear that side because you usually only hear the other side," Tenzin Peling, first year liberal studies major, also describes herself as a supporter of Michael Moore. "He's voicing his opinion and that's his right. He's just trying to open people's eyes," said Peling. "Everyone will be biased no matter what; I know it's his opinion and I can either agree or disagree." Second year student Bryan Davis feels differently on the subject. "Everything (Moore) says is unbalanced and he takes everything to an extreme," said Davis. " I'm not supporting him. I feel he's a threat to national security by trashing our president." Mark Wilson, first year business major, feels Moore is deceitful. "He's trying to sell his view- point by twisting the facts," said Wilson. A large majority of the cost of Moore's appearance has been covered by donations f rom the community, businesses and individuals. One of the substantial donations was made by the Herring Broadcast Company. Chris Moore, director of programming for Herring Broadcast Company (no relation to Michael Moore), facilitated and supported the decision for the donation made by President of Herring Broadcast Company, Robert Herring Sr. "Young people should be encouraged to involve themselves in the political process. As a member of the media, it is our responsibility to promote f ree speech," said Chris Moore. "It was a way to make a statement of our support for the students' apparent passion and helping students do something. (CSUSM) students made a strong statement, UVA, f rom page 1 , investigate. If the alarm is triggered f rom a stove a call is made to University Police who will then reset it, said Lt. Doug Miller of University Police. Although the alarm only sounds in the room where it was triggered, students in nearby units are still affected. "I haven't had any go off," said resident Erik McLeod. "But I can hear other alarms going off right down the hall." But not all students have had a problem with false alarms. "They haven't bothered me," Photo by Cliezare Milo the Palm Court Plaza.

Chris Moore also said the decision to f und the speaker was not influenced by political affiliation. "Regardless who the speaker is, as long as the speaker promotes and provokes political discussion and debate " said Chris Moore. "I am a strong believer that apathy is lethal in terms of the political process; I would encourage anyone regardless of their political affiliation to be involved in the political process."

Some students have also encountered problems with mold. Several apartment residents have found mold growing in their carpets, window seals and showers and even in ceilings. Olivia Roldan discovered her mold problem when she noticed a " funky smell." Caity Ries found mold growing inside her window seals. In both instances they called the front desk and the problem was fixed immediately. "The majority o f mold problems come from the air conditioner. If residents leave it on really low temperature for a long time then it (the A/C unit) will freeze," said Sonya Maestas, an RA. "When it starts to thaw out it drips and can cause mold." "But if someone calls about mold, we (RA's) call maintenance and they fix it right away," said Maestas. Cassie Johnson had a different problem. She went into her bathroom and noticed the light above was dripping and a large puddle covered the floor. The shower in the unit above had leaked and flooded her bathroom below. She called the front desk. "They came right away and cut out a part of the ceiling and replaced it with plaster," said Johnson.

If you're a beer enthusiast then you definitely recognize the difference between quality beers and stank beer. Stone Chief Executive Greg Koch and co-founder/brewmaster Steve Wagner set out seven years ago to produce beers with character that could be enjoyed by all. "The first year and a half, Stone Brewery was seeing substantial losses," said Koch. "It's hard to know if you're making a mistake by continuing production." Yet, Greg and Steve had a vision and the guts to push forth with production, even when things were looking down. Another aspect of the stone culture is the representation of gargoyles. "All of our beers feature a gargoyle on the bottle because they symbolize the big character of our beers," said Koch. Two of the largest user-based rating websites ratebeer.com and beeradvoate.com have both rated Stone Brewery as the number one American brewery out of 3400 breweries. Stone really put their name on the map when they first released Arrogant Bastard Ale (7.2% Ale/ Vol) in November of 1997. Other beers that have received much acclaim are Stone Ruination IPA (7.7% Ale/Vol), Stone Lévitation Ale (4.4% Ale/Vol) and Stone IPA (7.7% Ale/Vol).

Recently, Hinkle won an Award of Excellence from the 2004 Accolade Competition i n Escondido, California. Previously, he also won the top prize for Special Documentary Award from the Goldie Film Awards Festival. Hinkle is a regular guy that values his friendships and has a great perspective on life. His documentary is an autobiographical account of the challenges that he must face on a daily basis due to his disorder, Frederick's Ataxia. According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary ataxia means, an inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements that is symptomatic of some nervous disorder. Frederick's Ataxia is just one of the untreatable and incurable diseases existing today. Awareness is vital because maybe one day there will be a cure to relieve the immense suffering that people diagnosed with Frederick's Ataxia experience on a daily basis. Presumably fearless, Hinkle faces life's challenges on a daily basis and he does it by creating awareness now. He strives to create a better future for the unborn children in the world that will inevitably inherit Friederick's Ataxia.

Going into this inaugural season in the new Petco Park most Padres fans were expecting a winning season, including me. If you save all my previous columns like I know you do then you can go through your scrapbook all the way back to a previous Jock Talk that came out on March 16, 2004 where I wrote, "San Diego baseball fans are more hopeful than usual for the start of the 2004 season.. .fans also expect a winning team after five long years of losing." The Padres turned my hopes into a reality by producing their first winning season since 1998, but as great as this season was it still ended up being a disappointment and I am part to blame. I went to 10 Padres games this year and not once did they send me home a happy Padres fan, losing all 10 games while I was in attendance. With the Padres narrowly missing the playoffs I can't help but realize the amazing coincidence that the Padres did not win while I was in attendance. But, was it just a coincidence or was I a jinx? I have never thought much of jinxes or curses. That is just something that ball players believe in like stepping on the chalk lines will affect the way you pitch or that a Billy goat is the reason why the Cubs haven't won a world series since 1908.

Nor did I think anything of it when they lost on the first Friday night home game against one of the best pitchers in the league in Randy Johnson. I started to get concerned around mid June when they lost to the lowly Devil Rays. Then on July 9 the Padres reliable closer Trevor Hoffman blew a save versus the unassuming Colorado Rockies. The final straw for me came on the first of August when the Dodgers came from behind in 12 innings to beat the Padres.

Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" has been resurrected and is now for sale at chain electronic stores. Released in 1915, the silent film accounts the friendship between a northern family, the Stonemans, and a southern family, the Cameron's during pre/post Civil War era, President Lincoln's assassination and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). I used the term "resurrected" for three reasons. First, it was made before Hollywood existed, and now it's been released on DVD. Second, we see first hand of the roots of filmmaking. And thirdly, it's possibly the first film to use political ideals onscreen. I admit this was the first silent picture film I've seen. But we've all heard the phrase "A picture if worth a thousand words." And f rom these pictures, anyone can learn Griffith's own prejudices and the racism during thefilmand the controversy that sparked after the film. As a movie critic, this is one o fthe rare I don't know why anybody, including occasions that the plot is not important in Griffith, would want any part of this film, a critique. It's what symbolized, portrayed Maybe they thought they could tell a story and surrounds the film is important. But the way it really happened. Or maybe I'll be fair for those that would like to know they thought they could be the first to use the plot. The two families, the Stonemans political ideals in a film. Or maybe they and the Cameron's, were friends until the thought the best way to be remembered is Civil War erupted which caused the sons being the villain. Or maybe they thought of each family sent to fight each other on to sell a film is to sell controversy. I agree the battlefield. that controversy sells.

The liars are everywhere on campus. I know this because I'm one of them. Disgusted with myself, I nod when people ask me if I'm going to vote. "Hell, yes!" I say as I scurry in the direction of my class. Yet I know I won't. The funny thing is, I take a sick pride in knowing that I am not alone. On this campus, I have run into likeminded folks who smile at the student protests, get loud at the indecencies of government, perhaps shake a fist in the air saying, "Fees, fees we can't pay these!" You know who you are. We are the ones who silently stand by and listen very carefully until we make eye contact. Then we out each other, carefully so as not to make a scene, though. I can feel it now, the comfort of the knowing stare and smile that says, "Yes, friend, you may seek refuge with me and the other big-talking-no-voting villagers." Please don't mistake my tone for pride. I hate the fact that the gumption I have for voting dissipates as soon as I park my car in the dirt and walk up that jerk of a sidewalk. Lazy? So what. As available as registering is, I have never even come close to "locking the vote." Some students have legitimate reasons. Tomy Gysi, a Literature and Writing senior, who is in fact registered to vote, doesn't feel either candidate is worthy A +substitutes, aids, and S UBS P reschool t eachers.

I can't sit at Tom's lunch table because he has actually heard from both sides, taken it all in, and has come to a well informed conclusion. Good man. Joe Inixienginai, a Business major, simply feels that choosing is losing since it would be the "Same old, same old." More my style. My favorite voter immunity is Liberal Arts student Alanna Colepietro who lashes out, " I'm Canadian." These are just three non-voting students I have come across. Where's our protest against voting in general? Why should we be ashamed or hide in the darkest corners of Craven? Where's our red, white and blue bumper stickers that say, "Don't blame me, I voted for m e!" While I truly do understand the history making election that is upon us, I can't seem to muster up and sustain the urgency to vote. I'm busy avoiding the credit card people. I'm busy picking up dog poop. I'm watching the heavy rotation of the MTV Music Awards. Simply put, if Andre 3000 dressed in his political best can't get me to vote, I doubt anything can. pregna j apr h ealt c hoice! m ake i nformed, c onfident 2 7 7 5* R a n c h o S a n t i F e U é S an M a r c o s m o r e Info?. |f birthchoice.net The University Studies Abroad Consortium, with programs in 24 countries, allows students to master languages and study disciplines — including business, fine arts and history — at distinguished, overseas schools* Soak up the vibrant culture and be transformed by the experience of living in a foreign land. * Summer, semester and yearlong programs * Wide range of aeademit courses * Internships • Language classes at all levels • Field trips and tours * Small classes • University credit * Scholarships • Housing Màl àtiswers* real help abroadU , CNOTM„ .^ OSRI —u w —t^ Ò+U, �A&E THE PRIDE Looking back at: The Roots: The Tipping Point BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer Climbing the "Ladder 49" BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer I walked into the theater expecting to see "Ladder 49" as a movie that makes firefighters seem like heroes to the point that Superman couldn't measure up to them even on his best day a firefighter.

X �Above: The entire cast of "RENT". Below: Roger and Mimi gaze into each other's eyes. Photos courtesy of Susan Chicoine. No day like today BY CHRISSY BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer The Broadway musical, RENT, is about young people, such as ourselves, who are faced with all the difficulties and hardships that come with just starting out in life. How do we stay true to ourselves against the trials and tribulations of the world and still be able to make rent each month? RENT, the musical, is about a group of young friends living in New York City (the center of the world), and how they deal with relationships, AIDS, death and the inability to make the monthly rent. There are eight main characters. (Try to keep up) Benny, former roommate of Roger and Mark who now owns the building they live in and is demanding rent for a full year. Mark, a young filmmaker, who lives with Roger and used to date Maureen. Roger, HIV positive musician, who lives with Mark and is in love with Mimi. Mimi, HIV positive exotic dancer with a drug habit. Collins, best friend to Roger and Mark, falls in love - with Angel. Angel, HIV positive drag queen. Maureen, performance artist that dumped Mark for Joanne. Joanne, a recent law school graduate, now dating Maureen. The story is told through music, song and dance. From the moment Roger and Mark took the stage, the audience roared with applause and cheers, and not a word had been spoken. Mark opens the scene, the band starts playing, Mark begins to sing and it feels like you're at a rock concert. The songs are infectiously optimistic, even though they tell the tale of heartbreak, struggle and death. The underlying theme throughout the play was sung in "No day like today". Even though the characters battle the hardships of disease, destitution and death of loved ones, the message is that there is only today because tomorrow is not guaranteed. We can't live our lives feeling sorrow or regret, we need to focus on what we do have right now and do the best we can with it. - In the beginning of the second act, the entire cast sings in unison: "Five hundred twentyfive thousand, six hundred minutes. . .how do you measure a life in a year?" RENT takes the audience through a year in the lives of the main characters. In that year, relationships flourish and fade. They each have a personal struggle to connect with each other and with themselves. The entire production is a moving illustration of the trials w e face as young adults living in America. We are all trying to find our place in this world, but it is especially hard when, as the cast sings, "you are what you own". If you don't own anything, does that mean you are nothing? RENT inspires hope that our materialistic society will change and what should matter, will matter. The message is that only love matters and it is what we do with the love we are given and the love we have to give that makes us who we are. Since its debut on Broadway in 1996, RENT has earned a Pulitzer Prize and 12 Tony Awards. It is definitely a play for all to see and experience. RENT was written and composed by Jonathan Larson, he died days after its first opening night, but his story still lives on. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
