Moore money for 'hell-raiser' students
BY CHEZARE MILO
Pride Staff Writer
Michael Moore is coming back
to CSUSM; that is at least his
money is coming.
The filmmaker and political
activist announced on Tuesday
details of the 'hell-raiser' schol-

arship he promised CSUSM students in his October 12, 2004
speech at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. According to a press
release from Moore, the "Michael
Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship at Cal State San Marcos"
will award $2500 scholarships to,
"the two individual students who

have done the most to fight for
issues of student rights by standing up to the administration of
Cal State San Marcos."
"I hope this scholarship will
encourage students to show courage and stand up for what they
believe in," said Moore, "When
students (take on the administra-

tion) for the right reasons, they
should be rewarded."
To be eligible for one of the
scholarships a student must be
enrolled in a minimum of at least
six units each semester during the
2004-2005 academic year or for
the fall 2005 semester and have a
minimum grade point average of

2.5. The application process consists of filling out an application
form including three personal
references at: http://www.michaelmoore.com/takeaction/sanmarcos_form.php and submitting a two page letter to Michael

Undergrads and others came
out to give blood to the San Diego
Blood Bank on April 19 and 20.
The big white bloodmobile was
parked in front of the Dome from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days.
The pressure to donate blood
was intimidating for some, but
others thought of it as a way to
give back.
The blood donation process
takes about 45 minutes to an
hour. The majority of the time
is spent answering questions to
determine donor eligibility. If
you have a blood communicable
disease like HIV/AIDS the blood
bank does not want your blood.
Once you are done with all the
paperwork, you are given a preliminary test to see if you have
enough iron in your blood. Once
you pass the test you are ready to
donate. It is common to be nervous prior to giving blood.
"The only fear I have is the
needle," saidfirsttime donor Arianna Merrill.
This is a fear that I also shared.
What one discovers however is
that after the first poke of the
needle the fear subsides. After

Students from county community colleges
and universities gathered to march on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's downtown San
Diego office last week. The April 20 student
walkout in San Diego was just one of several
scheduled on this day throughout the state.
The primary goal was to protest the eight percent undergraduate tuition increase planned
for the 2005/2006 school year.

to the podium to address student
fees, financial aid, enrollment,
debt and outreach programs.
"We are mourning the (death of
the) California dream for affordable higher education," said Jason
Spencer, CSSA chair of legislative affairs. Spencer said that students are getting more and paying
less because of the budget cuts
students are having to rely more
heavily on financial aid and side
jobs to complete their education.
"We can't balance our state
budget on the backs of students,"
said Bustamante. "Raising tuition
fees is shortsighted and lacks
vision. We need an educated
workforce for our economy."
Applause erupted from the
crowd when Bustamante thanked
the students for their participation.
"Thank you for coming. Thank
you for bringing the faces of students, not statistics, before the
Legislature. The next generation
of students will benefit because
of your advocacy," said Bustamante.
Hancock urged students to get
involved on their campuses and
do everything they can to express
their voice. "Student fees have
risen faster than inflation. We
have to turn this around. We
(legislators) are fighting on the
inside, but we also need you to
fight on the outside."
After the protest, students disbursed to lobby legislators, do
some shopping, or hang out on the
capitol lawn before attending the

A plus for future teachers
BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM teacher candidates
rock.
That was the consensus resonating throughout the Teacher
Career Fair—the exemplary
qualifications of CSUSM teacher
candidates.
"Our teacher candidates are
highly qualified and sought after",
said Sandy Punch, the director of
the career fair. There were 41
school districts from all over the
state in attendance as well as a
few from Colorado, Arizona, and
Nevada.
CSUSM has hosted this event
for 13 years for alumni and newly
credentialed teacher candidates.
The purpose is to give our candidates a chance to network and
meet with representatives from
various districts as well as hand
delivering their resumes.
The fair is a great opportunity
for our future teachers tofindout
about local school districts as
well as those in other parts of the
country.
Ana Stover, who is the director of Human Resources for the
Chula Vista Unified School District, spoke with candidates about
the new schools opening up in
the area and they are currently
accepting applications for every
position. "We are especially
looking for multiple subject
credentialed candidates with a

BCLAD, Special Education, and
Speech certificate," said Stover.
Many of the representatives
expressed their need for certified
BCLAD (Bilingual Certificate of
Advanced Study in Biliteracy:
Spanish) applicants. In many districts there are always positions
available for math and science
teachers in the middle school
level as well as Special Education
teachers in every grade level.
Poway, Temecula, San Marcos
and Murrieta school districts had
the longest lines of candidates
vying for a chance to speak with
the representatives and hand in
their resumes.
Chris Meglio, who will graduate with his single subject credential in math, was waiting in
line to speak with a Murrieta representative. "I'm trying to find
the best fit for my needs," said
Meglio when asked what type of
district he is looking to work for.
Regardless of the amount of
teacher candidates graduating
each year in California (about
400-500 for CSUSM alone), our
teacher education program has a
reputation for training high-quality teachers.
Cheryl Cauldren, who will be
graduating this semester with
her multiple subject credential,
said she was, "wowed by the
instructors and the least effective
(instructor) was really great."
Chris Meglio said he is proud
to be a CSUSM grad and has

already received job offers for the
upcoming school year.
John Mendoza from Palm
Springs Unified School District
has been attending the fair for the
past eight years and comments on
the high caliber of teacher candidates from CSUSM. "We've
hired two right out of the fair,"
said Mendoza. When asked about
what advice he would give to prospective teachers, Mendoza said,
"Don't limit yourself, locals may
need to look outside of San Diego
County. Palm Springs is a growing district and we are always
hiring qualified teachers."

Moore. The letter needs
to include a biographical description, why you
attend CSUSM, why you
should receive the scholarship and, "What you have
done to take a stand and
make your school community a better place." Students meeting the requirements are encouraged to
nominate themselves; in
addition students and faculty can nominate students
they feel deserve the scholarships.
All applications for the
scholarships must be completed by May 11, and the
winners will be announced
in early June.
"At a time when the
media and politicians have
shown a lack of courage,
we should look to America's universities and America's young people to show
us how patriotic dissent is,"
said Moore.
Students and faculty had
various responses when
asked who deserved the
two $2500 scholarships.
"I don't know of one this
year. I actually have been
thinking about it," said
Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences Vicki Golich.
Golich said she is unsure
if the scholarships will be

Student Eric Kiefer had
someone in mind to receive
the scholarship. "I would
say Claude Sayf because
he was a hell-raiser, but
he's graduating this semester and Jason Williams
because he's put up with a
lot of hell," said Kiefer.
Student Daniel Lowe was
at a loss. "I have no idea. I
haven't really been paying
attention to it," said Lowe.
Student Melissa Rodriguez had another student
in mind. "Jason Williams.
The whole issue regarding
his arrest was really controversial and it was clear
that the university didn't
want to talk about it. He
suffered because he had to
deal with it and he was able
to organize people around

else has," said Rodriguez.
"I don't know," said student Claude Sayf, "I can tell
you who doesn't deserve it,

lege (SDCC) to participate in the
walkout. Cal State San Marcos
student Tasha Iglesias organized
the San Diego portion of the protest: another contingent of Cal
State San Marcos students went
north to Sacramento to participate in the walkout activities at
the state capitol.
Iglesias did not express disappoint with the seemingly small
number of Cal State San Marcos
students on the San Diego bus.
"It's not about how many
people you have, it's about how
many people you can educate,"
said Iglesias.
The bus dropped off the Cal
State San Marcos representatives just south of SDCC near the
grassy area on the corner of Park
Boulevard and B Street where
the marchers and protestors congregated. Approximately 500
students gathered there, holding
signs and shouting at the traffic
on Park Boulevard. Reporters
and photographers from every
major broadcast and print media
source in the area were also on
hand, adding to the hectic atmosphere.
"Fight, fight, fight! Education
is a right!" among others, were
the chants used by the crowd both
at SDCC and on the march.
Anna Matysiak, a sophomore
business major, took the bus
down to SDCC for both the protest and as part of a class project.
"We wanted to see how the

the soldiers out of schools" was
answered by an old man watching the march.
"Then who's going to fight
the war?" said the old man as
he stood outside a wig shop on
the corner of Ninth Avenue and
Broadway.
Although no CSUSM students
participated in the impromptu
detour, Iglesias was discouraged
that the group's negative interaction with the police would
reflect poorly on the walkout and
the message of the day, which
was protecting the diminishing
budget of the public higher education system.
"It divides the group," said
Iglesias, "If we are supposed to
be united, and then we divide,
what message does that send?"

THE PRIDE

Dress to impress
BY PATRICK B.LONG
Pride Staff Writer

BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Now that you have your college degree under
your belt, it's time to build a wardrobe to go with
it. Here's some practical advice to building your
'office' wardrobe.
What to purchase:
Invest in a few bottoms and tops that you can
mix and match. The colors you choose should be
solids: black pants, brown skirt, blue pants, etc.
Now with your solids on the bottom, you can get a
little funkier with the tops. Go for tops that match
all of your bottoms.
The key word when shopping is "modesty."
Black pants are essential but be sure they are
appropriate. No low-riders or Capri length. If you
have to get a bikini wax to wear the pants - they
are too low. Also, v-neck tops are great—but not
if you're cleavage is showing. I don't recommend
sleeveless tops. A good compromise is a twinset.
Skirt lengths are important. Sit down when you
try on a skirt. When sitting, if it rides up to your
panty line it's too short.
A couple pairs of nylons (pantyhose) should be
purchased as well. Bare legs are very common
in California—but not if you land a job in a more
formal environment like the East Coast.
A jacketisamustas well. Try for basic black—
it will go with everything. Another good purchase—but not an alternative to a jacket—is a
cardigan. A cardigan is a wonderful piece that
can be worn instead of a jacket in the hot summer
months.
Buy a good pair of closed-toed shoes. Stick to
basic heels or flats. Stay away from the trendy
strappy platform shoes—they won't go with your
new clothes and your feet will be killing you after
nine hours. Don't penny-pinch when it comes to
shoes. Remember that a great pair of shoes will
Last you a long time.
Where to purchase:
Skip the department stores and go straight to
the specialty shops in the mall. You need help
picking out your clothes and that means a salesperson. Smaller shops like Ann Taylor, Casual
Corner and Talbot's offer the best combination of
selection and customer service. This is because
these shops, as well as the salespeople, specialize
in the clothes you are looking for.
Specialty shops are best for shoes, too. You can
buy Clarks, Easy-Spirit and NineWest shoes at
department stores, but you will get a much better
selection at their smaller brand stores located in
the mall.
Only buy a few items at a time. Every company
is going to have their do's and don'ts of what is
appropriate to wear and what isn't. For example,
a cutting-edge dotcom company might encourage
casual dress. A clothes designer might encour-

casualcorner.com

age a modern dress. An investment bank might
encourage formal suit attire. There is no need to
buy a brand new wardrobe. Once you've settled
into your new job you will get a sense of what
everyone else around you is wearing and then purchase new pieces for your wardrobe based on the
preferences of the company.
How do I pay for all this? Here's how I did it:
Myfirstoffice job that required formal dress was
at Anthony Robbins Co. in La Jolla. I had spent
a considerable amount of money on a few items
that I rotated on a weekly basis. After a couple of
months I was very bored with my wardrobe and
had no funds to do anything about it. One of my
co-workers, Betty, was always wearing the most
trendy office attire and since we were at the same
pay scale I decided to ask her how she could buy
new clothes so often, Betty told me she works
part-time at Casual Corner. She only works a few
hours a week and the little extra income combined
with the hefty employee discount allowed her to
add two to three new outfits to her wardrobe per
month.
Following Betty's lead, I immediately got a job
at Petite Sophisticate. I worked about 10 hours per
week and received a 40 percent discount. After
working only one month I had a brand new wardrobe.
Elizabeth Baldwin is not a fashion expert but
has worked in various offices, including Anthony
Robbins Company in La Jolla, CA; World Prokennex Inc in Carlsbad, CA; Gartmore Investment
Bank in London, UK; and El Dorado Saving and

Call (619) 887-4499 today!

For graduating students and
those looking for careers in
the exciting world of corporate
America, there is a lot to prepare
for.
After the resume, the first
in-person impression an applicant gives to their prospective
employer is key to nailing the
interview: you have to get it right
the first time. The jeans and tshirts of college life will not cut
it any more.
Marketing yourself is not
always as easy as it seems.
Appearance is essential and
demands attention to detail.
Matching socks, ties and shirts
with your suit or jacket and pants
will be harder than you think.
Thefirstrequirement is to have
at least two suits in your collection. One grey and one blue—
dark blue, not powder blue. Some
places will also recommend black
suits, but they make you look like
an IRS agent. You can buy suits
off the rack, but in order to look
professional and not like a teenager working a sales job in the
mall, having your suits fitted is
the best way to go. Look for wool
suits to maintain a classic look
and stay away from hip colors.
The suit is not the time to be
thrifty. Department stores or specialty suit stores, like The Men's
Wearhouse, are great for a proper
fit and good quality.
"Your first interview suit
depends in large part on the type
ofjob f oj which you're interviewing, but charcoal gray and navy
blue are always appropriate,"
states the Men's Wearhouse website. The website has great guide-

lines on building a wardrobe and
dressing for success. The website
even shows you how to tie a tie.
Until you are making good
money, never spend too much
money on ties since the patterns
go out of style every six months.
Buy ties at places like Kohl's or
on the sale rack at department
stores.
In addition to suits, pants, like
khakis, and jackets are a good
choice to have. You can mix and
match the outfits.
Shirts are an important part
of the outfit for men. Until you
become confident wearing suits,
solid colored shirts are the best
way to go. Key colors would be
white, blue and grey to match the
suits. Try not to clash patterns on
your tie and shirt. Shirts are easy
to find at places like Ross Dress
for Less or Marshalls. Be sure
to get measured for your shirts
before you buy them. Proper
shirt fit depends on your neck
and arm length measurements,
and the cut of the shirt, so look
for professional help in the beginning until you know your proper
size and cut.
Shoes and socks are easy for
men to find as well. Discount
retailers like Ross Dress for Less
and Marshalls are also great for
shoes.
Outfit aside, personal appearance i s important for a job i nt^g
view; Men should have a clean';
haircut and neatly trirtuned or
no facial hair. Jewelry should be
kept to a minimum, oneringand a
dress watch—no big diver-styles.
Body jewelry should be taken out
until you at least have the job,
then you can put the tongue bar
back in.

OPINION

THE PRIDE

Progressive views are not on the
agenda of Benedict XVI
BY FELIPE ZANARTU
For The Pride
The selection of the new Pope
Joseph Ratzinger (a.k.a. Benedict
XVI) of Germany is a huge victory for conservatives and those
of the Opus Dei.
For years many American
Catholics have been waiting for
the pope to die hoping we would
find a new Pope with more liberal views. This pope however is
not going to be leaning to the left
or moving the church forward
on liberal issues. He has been
quoted as saying that homosexuality is intrinsically e vil So the
chances of reform in the church
doctrine over the next decade
concerning sexuality are doubtful. Along with sexuality comes
the issue of women in the priest
hood. With the record that Benedict has, it looks like he plans to
keep the Catholic Church a patriarchal institution.
In talking with religious people
on campus, I was told that Bible
passages are often interpreted to
say that males are the rulers of the
church. In this country we have
sectors of Catholicism and other
religions that believe men are the
head of the church. Most sectors
of Islam would be a prime exampie of a religion that doesn't seem
to practice tolerance. Others
believe that progress must start
from the church.
Former
Catholic
student
Nathan Pagador said, "I think
Catholics in America have gotten

is one other conflict that has been
raised: Benedict XVI's past. This
would be the Nazi question. Was
he a Nazi? Looking at his age it
is entirely possible. After some
research I found that membership was compulsory in the Hitler
Youth.
Many sources say that the
Hitler Youth was possible to
resist, and many did according to
those sources.
"(Benedict XVI) found refuge
in the Catholic Church" wrote
author Beth Rowen.
I would not conclude that our
pope is a Nazi, but at a young age
he probably went along with the
movement out of ignorance like
many German's did in Hitler's
nationalistic state.
On television this week, Bill
Maher made up a clever new rule,
"No picking a German pope the
day before Hitler's Birthday. You
have just given every conspiracy
theorist in the world a hard-on."
Only time will tell whether this
pope will create change or if it
will be more of the same. As an
agnostic, I really could care less
who the pope is. But given the
huge fundamentalist/evangelical
movement in current U.S. politics
and culture, and the blurring of
the implied separation of church
and State, the pope becomes a
figure that no one in the world
can ignore.

ing of other faiths. So right now
we are raising the issues, such as
women in the priesthood."
Catholic staffworker Ann
Gnuse concurred with a progressive church, "I don't think the
church should remain a patriarchal institution. If women want
to be part of the priesthood, more
power to them."

Many religious people are
questioning whether Benedict
XVI can do a better job than Pope
John Paul II
"I think that John Paul II really
raised the bar," said Catholic student Arcay Santos, "so he's going
to be a hard act to follow."
Many Christians and Catholics
hope and expect him to be a good

pope. The church however seems
to be at a crossroads.
"They need to figure out where
they stand," said Ruth Bran, a
volunteer collegiate minister,
"they must address the issues of
AIDS in Africa, zero population
in china, and the overall worldwide culture."
With the issue of culture there

2005-2006 Proposed Budget.
First, pursuant to the Higher
Education Compact that was
agreed upon by the California
State University Trustees and
Governor Schwarzenegger, the
proposed budget for the 20052006 academic year includes
a 3 percent general funding
increase (yes you read correctly,
an increase). This means that
the CSU system as a whole will
see a funding increase of $71.7
million for basic budget support.

Second, pursuant to the same
Higher Education Compact the
proposed budget also includes
additional funding of $50.8
million to be spent towards
enrollment growth. This means
that the CSU system will
be allocated more money to
accommodate a 2.5 percent
increase in enrollment. This will
affect CSU San Marcos students
because it will accommodate a
slight increase in enrollment for
the Fall 2005 and Spring 2006

terms.
Third, while student fees were
increased 8% for the 2005-2006
school year, students can find
solace knowing that a substantial
portion of this fee increase will
be dedicated to financial aid
for needy students. So while
• the advertisement in the April
13 th edition of the Pride (paid
for by ASI) dons the caption,
"Need help paying for school?
Too Bad," the fact is, contrary to
this misleading advertisement,

more money will be dedicated to
providing financial aid.
So with all of this said, I would
certainly hope in the future
that Associated Students Inc.
does a better j ob informing its
constituency(you the students) of
both sides of the story.

stop thinking 'bout the best
advice I'd ever read more than a
decade ago*

was a way to trump all that crap

Friggin' brilliant!
Now, back to this paper.
The 'Pride': happens to be
worth a hypothetical 25 cents.

one thing's for sure. The'Pride'

"State of Fear"

BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
I don't normally read books
like "State of Fear"—the
last three books I read were
"Fabric of the Cosmos,"
"Life of Pi," and "Will in
the World"—but I enjoyed
"Jurassic Park" way back
when, and when I heard
Michael Crichton was
addressing global warming
in this book I couldn't resist.
I don't remember the last
time I finished 600 pages
in a day, but the pace of the
plot kept me turning the
pages (in spite of reading all
the footnotes), and I just had
to finish. Admittedly Crichton's characters are a little
thin, but this is a plot-driven
thriller, rich in detail, suspense, twists, turns, and 'can
they really do that?' action.
As a student of biology/ecology I was especially interested to read Crichton's interpretation of the data regarding global warming, and he
didn't disappoint (though I'm
guessing he may be joining

"Angels &amp; Demons"
BY ANDREA MORALES
Pride Staff Writer
Robert Langdon, a worldrenowned Harvard symbologist and expert
on
ancient
societies, is
awakened in
the middle of
the night by a
phone call emanating from a Swiss research facility, summoning him for an immediate departure to Geneva. And
so begins the story of "Angels and
Demons," another best seller by Dan
Brown, author of the "The Da Vinci
Code."
Langdon is asked to analyze a
mysterious symbol that has been
seared into the chest of a murdered
physicist. Once Langdon arrives,
he discovers evidence of the inconceivable: the symbol belongs to an
ancient secret brotherhood known
as the Illuminati, the most powerful
known underground organization.
Langdon is asked to help solve the
murder. The Illuminati brotherhood
is feared to have resurfaced to carry
out a legendary vendetta against

their most hated enemy — the Catholic Church.
Langdon agrees to help, and soon
discovers that the murder victim has
a daughter, Vittoria Vetra. Langdon jets off to Rome to meet up
with Vetra. Vetra, a beautiful and
mysterious Italian scientist, meets
Langdon in Vatican City where
their worst fears are confirmed. On
the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden
an unstoppable time bomb at the
heart of Vatican City. Both Langdon and Vetra embark on a frenzied
hunt through sealed crypts, burial
chambers, closed cathedrals, and
the most secret vault. Langdon and
Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail
of ancient symbols that winds all
through Rome. The trail will take
them to the ancient meeting place of
the Illuminati brotherhood.
"Angels and Demons" mixes art
history with mythology. Brown
expertly guides the reader through
compelling twists and turns using
theories of signs and symbols coupled with medieval history. If you
are looking for a book that will
entertain you with every page, Dan
Brown's "Angels and Demons" is an
excellent choice.

THÈ PRIDE

T hree Stooges caught in drug orgy with
cast of Dragon Ball:" Kung Fu Hustle"
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
For The Pride
Such an overload of guilty
pleasure and juvenile genius is
going to send you running one
way or the other, and it should.
And I should be able to avoid a
copout. But my evaluation is still
stuck on whether to use thumbs
or digits.
I watched from the edge of my
seat. I let my mouth hang open. I
laughed out loud. But I'm fairly
certain it was one of the
s tupidest movies

I've seen in my life.
Now to be fair, I had all those
same reactions to the first "Spiderman" and the second "Star
Wars" prequel, and they were
trying to be deep. "Kung Fu
Hustle," however, entangles the
line between laughing at and
laughing with while giving you
the feeling its creator might well
be doing the same.
Stephen Chow wrote, directed,
and starred in this... this movie,
and as its tragic, complex, and
eventually god-like hero, it's hard
to tell which is his strongest field.
Every aspect seems a tribute to
himself, despite the fact that the
will to make such a thing might
be his most original asset. If
there was one less iota of effort
put into this film—if it were not
so completely itself—I'd be able
to work on a much more scathing review.
Still, there's no denying the inconsistency
between the Axe Gang's
initial (stylishly) stolen
style and their eventual descent into
bland buffoonish
thugs. The use of

CGI—clearly the point that will
divide genre fans—provides
more laughs than gasps, and is
used so heavily in thefightscenes
that breaks from it make brilliant

Located on California's Historic

Dinner at the sushi bar begins with
a refreshing bowl of baby cucumbers
topped with a light dressing made of
vinegar, sugar and salt, and is accompanied by a bowl of lightly salted
sugar peas.
After a few beers and couple shots
of hot Sake, the entrées served by
Hon Sushi's head c hefs understudy,
Jun Jung, were eatables delectable
enough to turn the mostfinickyeater
to glutton.
The first entrées served consisted
of regular cuts of salmon and albacore sushi. The salmon is elegantly
garnished with a mini palm tree made
of carrot and topped with cucumber fronds. Albacore is served with
lemon wedges and wrapped with
ginger leaf giving the dish a delightful appeal. The cuts of fish are fresh
and full of flavor, but are not overwhelmingly fishy for those scared of
raw cuts offish. The two-piece regular sushi cuts run between $3 and $6
dollars, which is reasonable considering the flavor and artistry the dishes
provided.
Remaining entrées sampled consisted of a colorful assortment of
rolls beginning with the cucumber
paradise roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a delicious roll with mild
flavor consisting of an inside made
of tuna, yellow tail, salmon, crab
meat and asparagus. The roll is held
together by a thin layer of cucumber
wrapping. The cucumber paradise
roll is paradise for the taste buds, but
is difficult to fit in your mouth due
to the size of the roll. The cucumber
paradise roll is a six-piece roll that
can serve as a meal on its own and
costs $6.95.
The next roll sampled is a specialty roll known as the volcano
roll. This was my first time

sampling a volcano roll and I was
pleased. The volcano roll has a crab
meat, cucumber, and avocado inside,
topped with baked scallops. The
baked scallops are then garnished
with black fish eggs and shavings
of green onion. The baked scallops melted and the black fish eggs
popped every time they hit my mouth
providing an exciting bating experience. Presentation of the volcano roll
was nothing short of spectacular as
the roll is served in a decorative boat
made of carrot and cucumber. The
volcano roll is an eight-piece roll
costing $11.95 and is worth every
penny. The volcano roll is a definite
must for the first time visitor.
Then the Hon roll #2 was sampled.
The Hon roll #2 consists of an inside
containing tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crab meat, onion, green onion,
and masago. The roll is then held
together by an outside layer made of
soybean paper. The presentation of
the Hon #2 roll is not the most colorful, but is a clean looking roll with
flavor to back it up. The combination
of shrimp tempura and crab meat
is a gratifying combination for any
palate. The Hon roll #2 is
an eight-

piece roll and is moderately priced at
$8.95.
The meal ended with a bang as
an animated-looking caterpillar roll
consisting of an eel and cucumber
inside was served. The outside of
the caterpillar roll is decorated with
artful pieces of avocado, octopus
eyes, and carrot antennas. The caterpillar roll is must have for those with
children, or for those who wish to
feel like a child again. The flavor is
amazing as the tastes of the avocado
and the sweetfleshof the fresh water
eel combine
