State San Marcos, like sharks circling their prey, looking f or that great spot. A s a last resort, students can recoil b ack t o the d irt p arking lot on the outskirts of t he campus and hike in. W hat students may not realize is that the d irt parking is not going to last because it does not belong t o Parking Services. CSUSM students are also facing two parking f ee increases in the next four to five years. Posted on the Cal. State San Marcos web site is a plan to increase parking fees to $248 a semester as early as 2006. The next hike will occur 2009/2010, increasing up the rate to $338 a semester.

The agreement allows Discount Campus B ooks access to almost all of the b ooks used this spring semester, but at a cost of $1.50 per requisition. With 675 requisitions for the spring semester alone, that is a cost of $975 for Discount Campus Books. That amount is an acceptable cost for the store that is hoping to t urn a measurable profit for the first time. "We're happy as heck to p ossibly b e making money this semester," said John Kilby, manager of the store. With the requisitions, Kilby said they have already seen a 30 p ercent increase in sales this semester alone. In addition, with an agreement with the Foundation, Discount Campus Books can eliminate the lawyer's fees they have b een paying to keep the fight going, Kilby said. The-agreement, which covers the spring and summer 2005 semesters, will b e renegotiated f or the fall 2005 semester. Kilby is optimistic about the f uture negotiations. " I don't know (how the negotiations will go), I assume they will go okay," said Kilby. Prior to this agreement, Discount Campus Books had to order b ooks for the current semesters based on previous semester's orders. This o ften led to wrong orders of outdated editions or books discontinued for particular classes. Some professors provided book information, but accurate i nformation was not directly provided. "It is a w in f or the students," said Kilby.

Private investigator Lynn Button, a retired CSU police chief, and CSUSM Literature and Writing Department Chair Professor Susie Lan Cassel conducted the investigation into Williams' complaint. The four page investigation summary, dated February 1, devoted more than three of its pages to making recommendations for change within the CSUSM police department. The report suggests the creation of a task force to conduct "an in depth study regarding arrest demographics in terms of race." In the report, the investigators remark at the Hispanic arrest rate of 41percent during the last three years as "deserv(ing) further review." The report states: "It is troubling to see that the Hispanic arrest rate is nearly that of the white arrest rate and nearly double the percentage of Hispanic students on campus." Other recommendations in the report include the commencing of an internal review by University police of the department's arrest statistics in regards to race and to present those findings to the vice president and president of the university, the establishment of a community oversight committee to review arrests "to ward against race inequity" was also recommended as well as changing the complaint procedures to be "both student-friendly and statistically useful." The documenting of traffic stops and arrests "to ward against racial profil- BOOKSTORE, f rom page 1 ing," the adoption of a community policing model, the training of CSUSM police officers in "cultural sensitivity" and the changing of University police reports to contain "more descriptive facts" rounded out the report's recommendations. Interim Chief of University Police Aaron Woodard said^he felt that the investigation was, "complete and thorough," and that he "felt good about" the officers' in the complaint being cleared of wrongdoing. "Anyone investigating (the case) would have come to the same conclusions," said Woodard. When asked about the recommendations in the investigation report, Woodard said that many of the recommendations are already being implemented. "We (University police) have to and are doing more to get the people to get to know who we are," said Woodard. He declined f urther comment o n specific recommendations within the report citing the current review of the report within the campus policing task force. Jason Williams expressed his disappointment that the officers were cleared and remarked that the findings were, "how i thought everything would work out," and that he was "trying not to let things like this get me down." Williams said that he was concerned that the clearing of the officers involved in his traffic stop sent the wrong message to the campus and community at large. "It is like saying that this was OK. What do you think the justice system will do to me? What do you think is happening to those not in colleges?" said Williams. Expressing his belief that university police should be more of a p eacekeeping force than a strict enforcement agency Williams said, "no one should be getting arrested on college campuses unless there is a big emergency." Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride I hope to get 90-95 percent of the books assigned." This semester, the off campus alternative got about 85 percent of the books, Kilby said. In addition to book sales, Discount Campus Books is offering tax service for students for the first time this semester. "We will keep selling books at a discount, but we will expand to include other services," Kilby said. The representatives from the Foundation who negotiated the agreement with Discount Campus Books were out of the office on Monday and unavailable for comment.

Haynes presented her first report to the community, "Building Vital Communities," in the Clark Field House, February 3. According to the President's website, approximately 130 members of the community paid $15 to hear President Haynes' speech with a breakfastJxiffet on the side. The Pride did not attend the event, but did receive a copy of President Haynes' speech from the Office of Communications. Haynes' speech read CSUSM's current slogan, "We're Building a Place for You," has become outdated and fails to highlight all of the expansion the campus has undergone in the past 15 years. According to Haynes' speech, "We have now built a place for you. We are ready to move from our past success to significance, building vital communities through education and partnerships." The speech outlined three essential building blocks to expand our "vibrant and Vital commun i t y " - academic excellence, cultural and intellectual vibrancy, and the final block is civic leadership. Haynes' speech stressed academic excellence is the top priority. The university will continue to develop new academic majors and expand on existing programs to meet the needs of the community. "As these new majors and concentrations are rolled out, they will include the strengths of our existing programs and what has built our academic reputation to date: writing and second language requirements, use of technology, problem solving and teamwork approaches to learning, and community service," as read in Haynes' speech. call for similar parking fee increases for faculty. The plan* went into effect under the direction of former CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez (July 1998 - June 2003), before he moved on, as a ten year plan to help accommodate the expected increase in enrollment. Since Cal. State San Marcos is considered a commuter school, most of the students drive to school and the demand for parking space will increase with enrollment. Unlike San Diego State, where they have 36,000 students and 12,000 parking spaces, students here at CSUSM always have a place to park, even if it is in the dirt lot and Parking Services wants to keep it that way. Robert Williams, the Coordinator of Business Operations & Technology, Parking Services, explained how in order to pay for new spaces on campus, Parking Services has to come up with its own money. "We are self supporting. .. (and) many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams. Money designated to schools from the state of California cannot be used for parking services and the expense of building just a flat surface is increasing in California. "Many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams talking about how the cost of construction and labor in California has gone up. He said that a flat surface to fit 1200 spaces will run about 354 million dollars. Williams also said that the plan to build a parking structure in 2010 will probably run about 18 million dollars. Williams also talked about the difficulty to get approval for such construction. "It's like buying a house," said Williams, "Parking services has to apply for loans, we have money in the bank, and we have to get preapproved for any of these construction projects to get underway." When asked why students must bare the brunt of the fee increase alone he said Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride that "faculty [parking fee someone that has a similar start operations in late 2007, increases] have to be done at school schedule. according to the NCTD web the state level."

Their visits to our campus may seem sporadic, however there is a scheduled time set aside once a month for them to set up shop. Getting vendors on our campus is a fairly easy process. The majority of vendors and organizations solicit the school and ask to set up booths. Marc D eGuzman, vice president of finance of Associated Students, Inc., is the head of the Cougar Bazaar.

" I don't m ind them being there, I j ust don't like it when they're aggressive," said CSUSM student Talisha St. John. "A lot of u s on campus can't a fford to buy these things anyway," said St. John. In the past, students have not had a say in which vendors they would like to see on campus, but D eGuzman stated that this was something they would add to their suggestion cards in the f uture. Perhaps students wouldn't feel so indifferent if some of the vendors were picked by them. ASI usually posts the schedule on the window outside their office facing Founders Plaza. The next stream of vendors are scheduled to b e here in March. T he area around Commons and the Founders Plaza smelled of smoke f rom the brief fire that followed the explosion. The San Marcos Fire Department was called out to inspect the light and t he interior of Commons 206 to ensure there was no danger of a residual fire. The inspection revealed no f urther danger. Members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority were gathering f or a meeting outside Commons 206 when the explosion occurred. "It literally j ust popped o ff," said sophomore Jacelyn Foley. " Then a fire started behind it." ' It smelled real b ad," said Christina Salter, sophomore. The sorority was meeting to discuss spring recruitment. Hernandez said that Facility Services h ad been contacted and would handle the repair of light. At press time, there was no plan to close or restrict access to the second floor Commons corridor.

Ishmael Reed's body of work r uns the gamut. From novels, poetry and songwriting to television production, publishing, playwriting and magazine editing. He has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award. He was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in University since the late 1960s. One of Reed's most recent essays, "Another Day at the Front," is a deftly crafted social criticism of the homefront war. America's long tradition of racism is explored in this work, which evokes deep emotional Photo courtesy of The Circle Brotherhood Association responses f rom its readers. One of the purposes of his work has been to provoke people to think differently about their culture and their place in society. Reed -is a master of collage and improvisation, with the ability to entertain his audience with humorous exaggeration and sharp wit. He is often misunderstood because satire and irony cannot be appreciated if the audience does not have the appropriate background to comprehend his ideas. Much of his satire is aimed at the status quo and sometimes his readers are offended by his idea of "Neohoodooism," a name Reed coined to describe his philosophy of accepting many truths. Reading one of Reed's novels like "Mumbo Jumbo" or "Yellow Back Radio Broke Down" is a challenge, but it helps one gain a sense of his perspective of black culture in*America. Reed's lecture, "Honoring Black History Month," promises to be as entertaining and thought provoking as his books, poetry and essays. It will be presented February 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Arts 240. Seating will be limited, so early arrival is recommended.

I hope doesn't seem to reflect in Bush's that politics in this country could statement "America's economy is be a bit less childish. However I the fastest growing of any major demand however that politicians industrialized nation." Perhaps to end sexism which includes the LGBT community. There is a growing resentment in this country against homosexuals. It's bad enough that the president and so many other politicians are invoking their religion on us, but now the debate against homosexuals is to make sure they are'denied the rights of any type of heterosexual union. I ask people all the time "Why do you care if they get married? Does it impact you personally? Would it affect your pocket book?" The answer to most is no with a condition. They say allowing this will tear apart the moral fabric of America. America, a country in which 1 in 3 women are raped, were people of color are unreasonably searched and arrested, and where we send our children off to war on false premises. All of these immoral acts occurred on this very campus last semester. I hope they are not talking about that America. I was told by one man "I don't want to have to explain to my children why gays are allowed to marry " That could be a valid point, but consider this: 50 years ago about at least half of the U.S. citizens, most which were Anglos, were saying "I don't want to have to explain to my children why interracial dating or marriage is acceptable?' The separation of church and state has been so blurred in this country. If the church refuses to marry these people in "Holy Matrimony," than the state should. Why does the church have so much power on a legal binding contract such as marriage? As far as I know though I could be wrong many gays do not intend to be part of this patriarchal Judeo-Christian institution. By not belonging to it however, they are denied family rights such as, family visitation, inheritance, and much much more. If I can ask anything of my fellow comrades, it is not to support the church in its role in the government. We kick them out for a good reason; do not let them dictate what is moral. Remember church and state are separate. "The Phantom Writer" shown us that you are concerned about your freedoms. But where have all of these demanding students gone? From all of the support at every rally, forum andprotests where are you when we need a solid organization to keep us going? For those of you who have held a sign at the Michael Moore rally for Freedom of Information, where are you when organizations for positive social change are struggling to pay for the tables, the banners and the sign that you held? Where is our support when we need just people to help us put on events, when we need members just to put on a fundraiser? The Progressive Activists Network (PAN) is working hard to bring support to those in need, to voice student concern and to keep ourselves running with new members. Our meetings are empty and our f unds are low. With all of the turnout at rallies, PAN is growing into a well known organization. But with only 4 people pulling all of the levers to make it work, we would like support not j ust at our events, but at our meet- ings, tabling and fundraising. For the 237 people who have signed onto our list serve, and the 227 people who have never come to a meeting or have asked how they can help, I call on you to help PAN grow. For the 400+ people who signed the letter to Karen Haynes, demanding an answer to her decisions, where are you as we continue to look for an answer?

Last week while looking for a parking spot, I realized that there were some open spots in lot K, adjacent to campus police and the University Village apartments. Without noticing the sign saying "UVA parking only," I parked in one of the many open spots in the lot. When I returned to my vehicle I found the $100 parking ticket and realized my mistake. Fine, my fault for not being observant and wanting to park on pavement, but is $100 an appropriate fine? As Patrick B. Long writes this week in his article about parking on campus, Parking Services is self-supporting, so I assumed the $100 fine was a way for Parking Services to support itself. A fter talking with Patti Hale at Parking Adjudication, I learned that Parking Adjudication receives all fine monies a fter $5 goes to the state. Hale also informed me that under state law, Parking Services and Parking Adjudication are separate and fine monies can't b e used for parking improvements. Funds collected f rom parking tickets can be used to finance Parking Adjudication and alternative transportation funding. Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Basically my $100 fine will go towards services I will never use. I j ust don't understand the rationale behind making students bear the cost of parking improvements and/or alternatives while receiving no relief. The price of parking remains the same as the availability of parking spaces goes down. Something is wrong. Last semester I could almost always find available parking on the pavement during peak hours, but now with a total enrollment increase o f295 students, I have a hard tinie finding parking outside of the dirt lot. Being that this is largely a commuter campus, it was unfair and irresponsible to not increase available, easily accessible paved student parking to accommodate the additional parking volume. I feel ripped off for having to pay $158 for a parking spot that either requires I park on dirt and walk for 20 minutes to get to class or show up to campus when the sun comes up. We, the students, pay the same amount of money and get less - it's just not right. If CSUSM accepts more students, there need to be adequate increases in services to assure the same availability and quality of the service, and already cash-strapped Students shouldn't bear the cost of improvements they will never use.

T H E P RIDE l i l l l S i Eastwood's "Baby" proves buzz-worthy BY Y VONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer The Oscar b uzz is in f ull swing and movie f ans are waiting to find out if the Academy will choose to honor a l ife story about real people or a compelling story about real life. Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar B aby" is yet another boxing movie, but it is much more than that. It is a film that challenges the viewer by a ffirming life as well as pointing out how f ragile it can be. Hillary Swank plays Maggie, a trailer-trash waitress who dreams of t raining to become a champion boxer. She j oins a worn-out old g ym owned by Frankie, played by Clint Eastwood.

But when the acoustic guitar kicks in, it seems to fill a whole other genre. Teaming u p with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Jimmy Tamborello (Dentl) wound up incorporating a whole new scene for the kids lost among this emo/punk era. Fanciful lyrics and beats upon beats lead u p to The Postal Service's first album release "Give Up." Deep lyrics and references to subjects like d rug abuse - and being trapped within ourselves compliment the free-flowing, u pbeat tempo of songs like "Such Great H eights" The Postal Service's recent success is due to the f act that their lyrics resonate with t oday's youth, and fill a void f or t oday's adolescent. With songs ranging in vocal precision and intricate b ass chimes, t he song "Clark G able" gives young audiences a great feeling of welcome and support in this society of structure. A s f ans wait for their next release, it is certain that despite wherever they tread musically, The Postal Service will achieve an unprecedented success among youth of all generations.

The screenplay was w ritten by Paul Haggis, who adapted the story f rom "Rope B urns: Stories From the Corner." The overall look of the film is very dark with many night scenes and characters filmed in t he shadows. Eastwood's camera and lighting techniques create a very distinctive mood that makes t he dialogue even more dramatic. Much of the story takes place in a gritty, dilapidated old g ym that looks like it belongs in a third-world and he has nailed the perfect formula of casting, cinematography and performance. It will not b e a surprise to anyone when he picks u p the award for best director and Swank captures best actress. "Million Dollar B aby" is probably the best film o f2004, but it remains to b e seen if it will actually b e honored with that title. country rather t han in Los Angeles. T he first two-thirds of the film moves rather slowly, but it allows the audience to develop a genuine a ffection f or the characters and prepare them f or a dramatic plot twist. Swank's character evolves physically as she t rains and her superb athleticism is matched only by her considerable acting skills. Eastwood is, f or the most p art, convincing in his role as trainer.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer You! Yes YOU, you filthy little philistine, you missed this: 'Creative Writing LTWR Faculty Dr. Mark Wallace Shares his Writing as a Part of his Campus Interview'. And so did I, the first 60 percent of it; snuck in like this man already had the job and I was already in his class and already afraid he'd be one of those 'on time or not at all' teachers. What he dropped, what I caught, what we might have shared had you been one of the hot chicks present (I could count them on one hand.. .not including the thumb) but you weren't; it was mostly faculty, and middle aged people, and middle aged people who weren't faculty, listening as he jerked his head up for second fractions, attempting eye contact but looking more like someone afraid of a yawn or rubber band preparing his assassination in the back row. Though variety was apparently present on the whole, in my 40 percent the work was, in a word, water collar: unpretentiously pretty presentation of real (existential) life questions—the other merging of white and blue being vapor collar, which uses poetry more to spit on rather than lick up the illiterate people who don't show up to these things. His capacity to teach CSUSM students about writing might be better assessed by the professor and student who juggled intangibles and h ypothetical with him before someone j ust had to ask, as he had dressed up, but in very safe blues, if poetry performance ever had brought him romance, if it still could for anyone else.

At almost 2,000 feet, this is the longest pier on the west coast, so if her Manolo's are putting on the squeeze, there's a shuttle that will take you the length of the pier for a mere 50 cents. If you've got a little extra cash, there are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, but packing your own wine, cheese, and bread is decidedly more romantic. You'll pay if you want to park up close, but f ree lots are located j ust two blocks f rom the pier.

If less concrete and more flora and fauna make your heart go pitter patter then you might head over to Carlsbad's Batiquitos Lagoon. Formed where fresh water and salt water meet and stirred up by wave and tidal action, coastal wetlands are a unique and dwindling resource for California wildlife, and the estuary at Batiquitos Lagoon is no exception. Batiquitos Lagoon provides habitat for 185 bird species, 65 fish species, and numerous native plants, so pack some sandwiches and a camera, tell your sweetheart to wear hiking boots, and see if you don't end up with a Kodak moment or two. To reach Batiquitos Lagoon, take Hwy. 78 west to Interstate 5 south, exit Poinsettia Lane heading east to Batiquitos Drive.
