We've all heard the conversations bashing the food quality, the prices and the look, but the conversations might just come to an end. The Dome is getting ready for an extreme makeover, Cal State San Marcos style. . Christopher Wood, head chef for the Dome, is expecting some money (the amount is not yet known) from the Cal State San Marcos Foundation to begin what many students say are much needed renovations. "I have a very positive outlook for food service in the Dome in the near future," said Wood. "It will certainly be something to look forward to." Ginny Robertson, a senior at Cal State San Marcos, said, "I think the Dome is ugly. It's been the same color for the past ten years, so they should change it." Another student, junior Nelenie Aronce had some unenthusiastic thoughts as well. "The food is expensive, and it's a last resort when you're really, really hungry," said Aronce. When talking to Woods, he stated his goals were both long term and See DOME, page 4 VOL. XIII NO. 7 BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer At CSUSM March is Wellness Month, a collaboration to bring students into the Clark Field House to experience fun stress relieving techniques as well as to learn ways to live a healthy lifestyle. Wellness month is also aimed at helping to promote a sense of well-being around the campus. All month long events will be held in the Clark Field House and free lunches and prizes will be given out. In addition advice will be given on many emotional and mental issues Cal State San Marcos students face. Along with prizes given out at individual events, a wellness pursuit card can be obtained at every Wellness Month event attended, and at the end of March the cards can be redeemed for shirts and other prizes. The biggest event of Wellness Month, The Wellness Fair and Expo, is being held tomorrow Wednesday March 9. From 11 am - 2 pm at the Clarke Field House there will be wellness information along with prizes, free food, a golf clinic, and raffles. Following the expo, free massages will be available until 5 p.m. The Fair and Expo is being put on by the Clark Field House in conjunction with Student Health Services.

The multi-colored banners and chutes attracted the attention of many passers-by. According to deGhetaldi, budget cuts in public education have caused a lack of formal physical education in elementary schools. As part of her class, Dr. deGhetaldi is instructing student teachers fun and innovative ways to incorporate physical education back into the elementary school system. "It's critical for us to continue teaching physical education at the elementary school level," said deGhetaldi. Students in the class seemed to enjoy learning the activities. "It's a f un class, a lot better than normal PE," said Carrie Wade, a student in the class. Students will vote for their new ASI representatives March 21-24. Candidates have now started their campaigning process to vie for your vote. To be an informed voter, students can read statements from the candidates in this issue of The Pride. On pages 2-3, candidates have submitted statements to students along with the position they are running for. �Editorial Staff Staff Writers Eàitors-in-Chief Elizabeth Baldwin Michael Dolasi Adía Bess Yvonne Breit ,ayout Design & Photo Editor «laso» Encabo Jodle M.

College of Arts and Sciences Representative Hello, my name is Andre' Rosemond and I am currently a junior studying Human Development here at one of the most rapidly developing campus's in California, Cal State San Marcos. As Cal State San Marcos grows into the campus that it is destined to be, I feel excited and motivated to have the opportunity in shaping the future of this school. As the current Undergraduate Representative, I will continue to battle for inclusiveness and shared governance for the proud students of our campus. Nicholas J. Bonomi Business Major, emphasis in Service Sector Management College of Business Representative Hello everyone, I am running for ASI College of Business Rep. I would appreciate your vote for the following reasons. The Annual 04-05 ASI Projected budget was nearly 1.1 million dollars. Many students don't know what ASI stands for. If a student can identify ASI he/she is unlikely able to explain the organizations purpose. Most of the budget is spent on 150-200 students. 40.6% of the U million is spent on Administration, 17.7% is spent on the board of directors, and 15.3% goes to the ELC (Early Learning Center). This adds to 73.6%; if elected I will push to have funds allocated towards the campus population as a whole. I hope I get your vote to make ASI an efficient organization. Have a good semester. Ashley Nichole Dunn Bio-Chemestry Major V.P. of Finance I believe our purpose as executive members of ASI is to serve the students. One of the main things that I would do as V.R of Finance, is listen to the things that you as students would like to see at CSUSM. A few things that are important to me is keeping the cost of tuition and parking down, increasing class availability, and increasing advising availability. So vote for me, Ashley Dunn as V.R of Finance. "GET ER' DUNN!" "Exec Team 2006" Remember the name- I'm a WRITE IN!!! L. A. I. S. N. E. It's pronounced "La-nay" Please vote for me!

In college, thus far, I have already served as Treasurer of a Student Organization and led class groups with great success. My main goals, if elected, will be to increase attendance to ASI events and to find ways to cut ASI's budget and, thus, decrease OUR tuition without cutting any essential programs. And, yes! I am perfectly aware of how corny that slogan sounds, but, it's a hard name to remember and to pronounce!

I am a Liberal Studies major and I am running for the Childcare Representative position. I feel that the student parents on this campus are underrepresented and I would very much like to be the voice of that population. I feel that I could improve my CSUSM campus community by promoting Early Learning Center programs, bringing awareness to the community, and by helping to enhance the social emotional welfare of our future children.

GO COUGAR PRIDE!! —: History Major College of Arts and Sciences Representative Write in John Baden for College of Arts and Science Representative, because I will ensure that ASI represents all of our students. It seems that too many people have no say in the decisions our school makes. The history department is an example of this. Our department traditionally has few or no representatives and there is no one to advocate for our needs. As a representative of the College of Arts and Science I will push for the inclusion of Latin American history into our campus. I will advocate for the general student body as well by pushing for fair prices. If you want an ASI that represents you and are sick of paying too much for a dirt parking lot, write in John Baden.

According to Romero, getting students and faculty to work together and promote a better campus environment for learning and relaxing is a big part of Wellness Month. During Wellness Month, coordinators like Devon will be promoting the six dimensions of wellness. The six dimensions of wellness are physical wellness, intellectual wellness, emotional wellness, spiritual wellness, social wellness and occupational wellness. Each of the six dimensions of wellness will be represented through different events pertaining to a particular dimension. Organizers are planning many different events that students can come and take place in, such as yoga, self-defense classes, and a seminar entitled Chicken Soup for the Cougar Soul. Each Monday during Wellness Month will be known as Blue Monday, and different events such as yoga, progressive relaxation, and guided imagery will accompany the morning's events. Each blue Monday will try and undertake one of the six dimensions of personal wellbeing.

The show featured performances by CSUSM student, Stacy Goldstein, AKA: Mizliberty. Students Shawnda Dorantes and Tasha Iglesias helped put on the show. Heather Hitson, senior women's studies major, organized this year's Women's History Month events. She said she struggled because of lack of funds, however was able to incorporate events suited for all. "We put together events that will accommodate all women. We wanted to create an array of events to accommodate any kind of person whether it is through culture or music to name a few," said Hitson. Women's studies was given a grant through CSUSM last year; however, this year Hitson was on her own to find funds to put together these events. Through various proposals written by Hitson some money did come through. "I didn't know coming into this position that I was going to have to put so much effort in finding the funds because last year Women's Studies had funds straight from CSUSM. I was disappointed at the lack of help from CSUSM since 63 percent of our campus is made up of women," said Hitson.

He is aiming to tackle the short term goals during the summer of 2005. P hoto by A dia B ess / The Pride Wood has lots of ideas that he is ready to begin working on. "I love working in a University environment, but I wish I could just go, go, go! There is a radical sense of urgency," said Wood. Short term plans include mirrors to make the Dome look bigger, painting with neon or bright colors, and an upgrade to the look and names of the five eateries currently in the Dome. In addition the food will also have a new taste. The salad bar will offer more choices, we will be introduced to new pizza flavors such as b-b-q chicken and four cheese, the sub station will adopt a new superhero theme, the quick serve grill will incorporate a blue plate special and the House of Tsang (half Asian and half Italian) will transform into a bigger Mexican food concept. Long term goals include picking up square footage to make the Dome bigger, and possibly bringing branded units into the new area. This wouldn't be the first extensive renovation in the Dome's history. In September of 2002, the Cal State San Marcos Foundation spent more than $575,000 to design and outfit a new kitchen which included professional ovens, stoves, steamers, fryers, a stainless steel food prep area, pass-through refrigerators, and separate areas for dishwashing, food storage, and offices. Wood said he is very excited about implementing new menus that keep pace with the changing tastes of students. "Years ago it was ok to serve grilled cheese and tomato soup; now campuses have to offer as many choices as possible," he said. Wood said that even with changes in the menu he wants to, "maintain foods that will be affordable to the masses."

So, the smart student will plan ahead. Spring Break vacation can be enhanced with the right tools of knowledge. Before planning a getaway, knowing where to go is a key point and several web sites list the most popular destinations for f un in the sun. The Travel Channel web site has its own list, including Cancun, Mexico as the second most popular destination. Since international destinations come with some much needed precautions, students should arm themselves with knowledge of health concerns within a certain region. Fear not, help is as easy as the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC's traveler's health site contains information regarding health risks in regions throughout the world. Our own CSUSM web site has travel tips located on the University Global Affairs site at http://www.csusm. edu/UGA/Travelresources.htm. This site has links for traveler's health, currency converters and airport guides. There is also great information on problem areas that students should avoid traveling to. For international travel, students have many concerns to consider and should be aware of organizations like International Students Travel Confederation (ISTC). ISTC will help students to get organized for travel and offers student discounts around the world with the aide of an international student I.D. card. The group also provides company information for travel agents that deal discount fares for full time students. They can keep students informed and safe while traveling and list approved travel agencies that students can use in conjunction with ISTC.

Poet and performance artist Bridget Gray will be making her third appearance at CSUSM in honor of Women's History Month. Sponsored by Student Residential Life, Gray will perform in Arts 240 at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 14. Regarded as one of the most refreshing spoken word artists, Gray is not afraid to tackle the issues in life that others tend to avoid. Her signature piece, "Shades of Gray," was released in 2001, and her second CD, "Self Love," will be issued this year. Gray has won many poetry slam competitions and has recently been the host of a nationally syndicated radio show called "Electric Moyo." Her dynamic stage presence and the relevance of her words will ~ surely make an entertaining evening for those who attend the performance. Gray will also be conducting a question and answer period after the performance and read- Photo courtesy of www.totalescape.com Above: Take time out to enjoy the outdoor scenery of Cabo.

A central focus of the article is a search for some rationale for this decision. Several are considered - perhaps President Haynes values athletics more than the newspaper? Or is it a bit of revenge for The Pride's coverage of the Michael Moore situation? Was the fee proposal not good enough? Don't people see how much improved the paper would be with twelve pages and color? Who could object to only $2.50, none of it going to salaries? As the author of the athletics fee proposal, I would like to share my experienced in the long process of developing the proposal - because what I learned as I went through the process sheds a lot of light on why my fee is on the ballot, while the newspaper fee is not. And not to give away the punch line, but...it has nothing to do with any of the above. When I took the position as Athletics Director, my first task was (is!) to address the funding problems we face. Despite a record of excellence that might surprise you if you haven't been following our golf, cross-country and track teams ~ eight Far West Regional Championships, 15 finishes the Top Twenty in year-end national rankings, 44 NAIA AllAmericans, a national champion in the women's marathon - our department was on the verge of being shut down due to lack of funding. I quickly learned why. I contacted every other AD in the CSU system and discovered that we are the only campus in the entire CSU that has no student fee funding for intercollegiate athletics! At every other CSU campus - in fact, as one AD told me, at virtually every other public university in the country - students pay a set fee to f und the athletics program. State money supplements that fee revenue, but no athletics program exists on general fund money alone, as we had been trying to do. So the problem was clear; the solution, though, was not so simple. Several of the Athletics Directors I spoke with over the summer shared something else with me: the CSU Chancellor's Office had imposed a "soft moratorium" on campus-based fees. What's a soft moratorium, you ask? I had to ask, too - and so began a series of conversations with some pretty important people in the CSU hierarchy: Patrick Lenz, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Budget Development, and Chris Canfield, the CSU's Lead Budget Analyst. QTT ONZOMV Here's what I learned from them: the Chancellor is concerned that, in this era of budget cuts to the campuses, individual CSU schools might be too quick to turn to campus-based student fees to make up the difference. Hence the moratorium: no offsetting the declines in funding by imposing new campus fees; no asking students to foot the bill for things that were once funded by other sources, because you worry that those other funding sources might be dry up. This is where the " soft" part of the fee moratorium comes into play. The CSU recognizes that not all proposals for new fees will fall into the category just described, and thus an absolute ban on any and all fees is too extreme. So the Chancellor's Office will consider allowing a new student fee under certain circumstances - but the proposer has to make the case for it. That is exactly what I did with the athletics fee proposal. I made the case that we are the only CSU in the system that does not have an athletics fee - that this is a standard fee, found at all CSUs (and all public universities); we just don't have it here because we are a relatively new campus, and our athletics program is newer still. The folks at the Chancellor's Office accepted that reasoning and indicated they would allow our fee to go forward. The Pride finds itself in a very yvirji different situation. As I understand it, it is very rare in the CSU for a student paper to be supported by its own student fee. It may be, in fact, that only Sacramento State has such an arrangement. This puts The Pride at a real disadvantage: not only is such a fee not commonly found throughout the CSU, the fact is that almost nobody else does it that way. That being the case, I can tell you, based on my own conversations with the people who make these decision in the Chancellor's office, that there is virtually no way the Chancellor would have approved The Pride fee. A novel, new fee that exists at very few other campuses is simply not something the CSU administration will support now. President Haynes, well aware of all this, made the tough decision: since there is no chance it will be approved by the CSU, there is no sense spending campus time, money and energy campaigning for it and voting on it. So the fact that the newspaper fee is not on the ballot has nothing to do with anyone placing greater value on The Pride than on athletics; it's not "athletics versus The Pride" in any sense. Both are good for this campus, and just as campus life will benefit from more vibrant athletics offerings, especially spectator sports, so too woujd it have been great for the newspaper to be longer talking and in color. It has nothing to do with Michael Moore; if you think President Haynes is so petty and vindictive as to operate that way, you don't know her very well. It has nothing to do with the quality of the proposal (members of the Student Fee Advisory Committee have told me it was very good), and no, $2.50 is not too much to ask. But none of that is the point; rather, the point is that the newspaper fee, even had students passed it overwhelmingly, would have fallen victim to the Chancellor's soft moratorium. I'll conclude with a wish and a hope. I wish someone had alerted those who worked on The Pride fee proposal of this reality long ago, before they spent considerable time and energy on their fee proposal; it is a long, arduous process, and I'm sorry to see anyone go through it for naught. And the hope? The athletics department is not even going to apply for any funds from the Instructionally Related Activity fund this year (if the athletics fee passes, we won't need it; if it fails, the IRA funds won't save us). I sincerely hope The Pride gets a nice share of what we might have gotten; twelve color pages would be nice.

BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer This may seem like an extension of what is now looking to be a regular feature of The Pride, but "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" is definitely a guilty pleasure. If you have kids or a younger sibling, you might be able to get away with renting or buying this movie without getting too much slack from the cashier. The rest of you may just have to wear dark sunglasses and a scarf for fear of recognition. But the movie is just so funny you can't help but giggle. Like when Patrick asks the princess if she wants to see his underwear. Or when Spongebob gets killed off. Wait. Did I just say that? Yes, Spongebob does get killed off in the movie.

And I must say he has the strongest pecks I have ever seen. The premise of the story involves the Krusty Krab burger competitor, who is jealous of the burger joint's success. He steals King Neptune's crown and frames the restaurant owner. Spongebob tries to recover the crown so that he can save his boss and prove that he is a loyal employee. The result is a comical adventure that amuses both young and old. The DVD is packed with a few great features too. For animation buffs, there are two featurettes exploring the making of the movie, including one that focuses on the creator of Spongebob, Stephen Hillenburg, and the writers of the movie. For Spongebob fans, there is an extra short clip called "Case of the Spongebob." You won't be seeing that on the Nickelodeon channel anytime soon. Then, for video game buffs, there a small preview of the video game that also branched out from the TV show and movie. It's just a lot of fun and laughs, but if you're too embarrassed to be spending somewhere around $20 to own this movie, at least go out and rent it so you too can join in the fun.

Richard Move and What is a six-foot tall man doing dressed up like a woman leaping across the stage? Why pretending to be Martha Graham of course! The independent film, "Ghostlight," starring Richard Move is the story of legendary dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham, told through the eyes of a fictitious filmmaker. Move plays the part of Martha, which in itself is ironic because he is over six feet tall and she barely measuredfivefeet. As he towers over the other dancers, he delivers his words of advice to them in a controlled, alto voice, teaching them the moves as well as infusing Martha's philosophies. Time in the movie is non-linear; it bounces backward and forward with fake historical film clips to help the viewer gain perspective into her life. Martha's famous "I thought it was inspiring,"-student Katie Summers friends, like the designer Halston, Liza Minelli, Helen Keller, and Deborah Harry (who appears in thefilm)also add an interesting dynamic to the movie. It is difficult to put a specific label on this movie. It seems like a biopic, but is delivered in a campy manner that has the audience trying to work out if they should take it seriously or not. In the end though, it felt like it was a heartfelt tribute to an icon of modern dance. The preview of "Ghostlight" was sponsored by the La Jolla Music Society and shown last Monday in Arts 240. The star of the movie, Richard Move, introduced the film and was available afterwards to answer questions. He said that thefilmwas started around 1998 and took four or five years tofinish.He also stars in a live show about Graham called, "Martha that has played in New York and has toured around the world. He laughingly said, "Martha is finally being represented by a body that is able to live up to her stature." "I thought it was inspiring," said CSUSM student Katie Summers. "I was really amazed." Another student, Isabel Gonzalez said, "It teaches you about the arts and how the creative process comes about." There is a tradition that dictates that a stage should never be completely dark after a show, and that is why a single lightbulb is left on all night. Richard Move's impersonation of Martha Graham has embraced the legend and he has become her own personal "ghostlight," keeping her memory alive in the hearts of her fans.

Now there's Franky G in Jonny Zero. Jonny Calvo (Franky G) was just released from prison after doing four years for beating a guy to death. He really wants to turn his life around (no drugs, no guns, no 'hos), but his world (which is, naturally, full of drugs, guns, and 4hos) makes it hard for Jonny to be a stand-up kinda guy. Jonny has a low-paying, legit job in a boxing gym, a high-paying job with the same boss/crime lord that helped him get into trouble in the first place (only this time Jonny is being forced to find some dirt on the guy for the cops), and he moon- Photo courtesy of Warner Bros. Television lights as a do-good, private investigator, helping folks in the 'hood with assorted problems, generally caused by drugs, guns, and ' hos. There's lots of opportunity for moral dilemmas and chase scenes involving his cherry muscle car~ a red and white Chevy SS—but all that really matters is that Jonny has plenty of opportunity to remove his shirt—the guiltiest pleasure on network television this season. Opening with its now trademark poppy bass beat, the 1990s sitcom "Seinfeld" has brought me joy through all their kooky and crazy adventures. Jerry struck gold with this ground-breaking sitcom that followed the lives of four friends in New York just living out their lives; it was dry, cynical humor that was an antidote to the 1980s; it was the comedy—the witty and sarcastic eccentricities of each episode—that "Seinfeld" fans fell in love with. No matter how many times I've seen the same episode, you'll still see a smile on my face after every Kramer entrance or Elaine's "GET OUT" shove. Be it the physical comedy of Michael Richards (Cosmo Kramer), or the neurotic ramblings of Jason Alexander (George Costanza), "Seinfeld" has kept me ecstatic since my first episode. It is the simple human interactions that make this show my guilty pleasure. And with the release of the first three seasons on DVD you'll be sure to find me.. .well, actually you won't find me because I'll be bundled up in my room watching "Seinfeld" reruns. Tour de France BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer It all started quite innocently six years ago. Flipping through the channels, I landed on the Outdoor Life channel that was covering the Tour de France. Boring.. .but wait.. .these guys are pretty buff in their neon spandex! I started watching and next thing I knew I was hooked. For the next 21 days, I was compelled to w atchtwo to three hours of coverage a day—while learning useful French words like "maillot jaune" and "peloton." I was fascinated by the picturesque French countryside rolling by and the obligatory shot of the local cathedral. But it's not about the scenery, it's about the drama! Why is Lance chasing down the Italian hot shot? Is perpetual bridesmaid Jan fat again? Is Tyler on drugs? Will Robin do his comedy routine? Will the cameraman give us a good shot of a streaker? I know I'm not alone in my secret obsession, there are many more out there. You know those people you see wearing Lance's yellow rubber bracelets? They'll tell you it's about cancer awareness, but don't let them kid you: they x^ spend hours watching the XTDF, too. \ And we are all counting down the days until July 2. Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures Television Wifeswap Image courtesy of www.abc.com BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Jon Marsh / www.velophoto.com When a wealthy Southern Republican swaps lives with a liberal middle class lesbian, they don't exactly blend in to their new lives and the result is a fascinating reality show. I knew I was hooked from the beginning. Every week "Wife Swap" takes two extremely opposite people forces them to trade families for two weeks. For the first week they agree to live by the already established household rules and in the second week they are allowed to change the rules, forcing their new family to live by their rules. When the rules change the drama begins. Children resent being punished by someone other than their parents, clean houses become messy, messy houses clean up, boring people have fun, and it's great. At the end of the two weeks all the spouses are reunited and they sit down to talk. This gives people the chance to tell someone to their face what they think of their family, which often ends in a shouting match, or tears-many lessons go unlearned. There is no cash prize on this show, only the opportunity to learn from the experience. Unfortunately most of the people are too unwilling to change or accept the world from a different perspective. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
