X IV NO. 6 Tenure denial sparks controversy on campus Student vouches for von Son's teaching credentials BY LILLIAN POZOS Pride Staff Writer A n open forum was held on, Sept. 28, following a MEChA meeting to discuss the alleged refusal o f tenure to a professor of the World Languages Department. Omar Yafiez and Amilcar Chavez, both students of CSUSM, were scheduled to hold a dual discussion, but Chavez was allegedly legally advised not to attend the open forum. The forum was held to discuss whether Carlos von Son, assistant professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature, was allegedly "racially discriminated" against through the alleged refusal of his tenure. Yafiez, the student in support of von Son's tenure, explained his perspective on the history of von Son. Yafiez agreed to hold the discussion if someone would balance his arguments. According to Yafiez, von Son is currently pursuing a lawsuit in the San Diego court system. In his lawsuit, von Son is allegedly accusing a female professor of sexual harassment and a male professor of unequal treatment. Many of the CSUSM faculty have been subpoenaed, denying their ability to speak about von Son, said Yafiez. Yafiez explained that the administrations refusal of tenure is allegedly based on von Son not being a good teacher according to student course evaluations, he does not have enough published works and he does not do community work. The World Language department is focused on Spanish from Spain while von Son stresses Spanish from Latin America, said Yafiez. He also said, the administration holds Spanish from Latin America lower than Spanish from Spain, contradicting von Son's teaching methods. Yafiez believes von Son shows Mexican litera^ ture and the Mexican dialect as equals of the material taught in the other Spanish classes.

Once the pizza arrived so did the crowd. Over 500 slices of complimentary pizza and drinks were handed out ASI and German Club will be sponsoring events in honor of Oktoberfest on Oct. 6 at the Kellogg Library Plaza. This will be the second year our campus has provided activities in observance of this German tradition. ASI and German Club invite students and faculty to partake in this year's Oktoberfest celebration for its recreational enjoyment and cultural significance. Festivities for the event will be held from noon until 1 p.m.. "Participants will be provided free food and beverages, and there will also be a sausage toss," said Diana Wong, ASI Director of Cultural Programming. The sausage toss will require contestants to hurl a sausage onto the top of a small cake in hopes of winning the coveted 'Weenie Award.' Other prizes include T-shirts and coupons courtesy of Wienerschnitzel. Wong also confirmed that a dance performance, provided by guests Bill and Erma Sassel, w ill be among the event's entertainment. There has been much speculation from students and some faculty about the observance of Oktoberfest on our campus regarding the tradition's nature for encouraging alcohol consumption. To uphold the spirit of Oktoberfest, Wong commented that a sufficient "root beer keg" would be present so as to abide by dry campus policy.

BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday, Sept. 27, the Green Team and Blue Crew of Cal State San Marcos thanked the students, faculty and staff for their continual efforts and participation in the 2005 National Recyclemania program. CSUSM out-beat 4 6 universities and colleges nationwide including prestigious ivy-league schools such as Har- vard and Yale in the ten week long waste diversion competition, accruing a 43.65 percent recycling rate o f all trash discarded on our campus. At the ceremony honoring the campus's recycling success, President Hayes accepted the 'RecycleMan' trophy on behalf of CSUSM. "Attractive, yet functional," said President Hayes about the trophy.

The woman allegedly said she was being sexually harassed by von Son but the administration dropped her case because there was not sufficient evidence. Yanez claims the administration wants to discipline him by denying him tenure. Yanez wants to know why the woman's testimony is so impor- tant to the administration now, when the case is closed. Yafiez has worked closely with von Son, producing an independent film that will be shown at a New York festival. Being a colleague of von Son's, Yafiez says he supports von Son's method of teaching but not his behavior. To explain the history of von Son's grievances, Yafiez said many female students have complained. He went on to say that many of the sexual harass- ment complaints about von Son have been mentioned on class evaluations. These are not formal complaints and are over looked, but they are written proof. "The denial of his tenure that he's not a good teacher . .. its bullshit," said Yanez. Von Son's CSUSM home page states that he has published five books including "Deconstructing Myths: Parody and Irony in Mexican Literature." It also states his many community activities including include the fifth annual Main Street Oceanside Day of the Dead Celebration on, Oct. 30. According to the CSUSM Web site, von Son accepted a tenuretrack teaching position as an Assistant Professor at CSU San Marcos in the fall of 1997.

(800) 977-7633 — �Proposition 73 threatens to revoke teen privacy I nitiative w ould mandate parental n otification of minor's abortion BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Proposition 73 brings controversy to the statewide ballot for the Tuesday, Nov. 8 elections pushing to amend the California Constitution requiring written notification to the parent or legal guardian of an unemancipated, pregnant minor at least 48 hours before performing an abortion on the minor. According to the Official Voter Information Guide, the initiative would mandate at least a 48-hour ertantne* Compte™ Wallow* Hope; sap Worry. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride You can pick up a voter registration form in front of Commons 207. waiting period after the attending physician has provided parental notification before terminating the minor's pregnancy. Proposition 73 defines the context of the law with thorough definitions, the most important of which is an abortion, defined by the proposed law as causing "death of the unborn child, a child conceived but not yet born." The intent of the initiative is to provide parents or legal guardians the necessary information to help their daughters with any serious physical complications, emotional trauma or psychological side-effects that may result from the abortion. Proposition 73, which supporters advertise as a 'Parent's Right to Know and Child Protection,' is a divided and controversial issue on the ballot expected to create more of a buzz the closer the election comes. A common misconception regarding Proposition 73 is centered on whether notification equates to consent. However, parental consent is not required for the minor to have the abortion. The minor has the right to have the procedure performed or opt to seek other options available. Opponents of Proposition 73 argue that the law limits the teen's medical privacy and attempts to legally mandate family communication. Parental notification can be side-stepped. Minors do have the option to seek a court ordered waiver with convincing evidence of the teen's maturity or best interests, as determined by a juvenile court judge. The proposition also states that an abortion may be preformed without a waiting period in the event of a medical emergency, defined in the stipulations of proposed law as: necessary to prevent "serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function" of the mother as result of pregnancy. Under the conditions of the law, violation of these mandates would result in monetary damages against the physician. Intentional falsification of parental notification, by the minor, physician or third-party persons, would be considered a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1000. California is not alone in this endeavor; more than 30 other states have approved similar propositions that have legalized parental notification laws for minors seeking an abortion. According to the Campaign for Teen Safety website, "Ed Hurlbutt, the Regional President of Right to Life of Central California said, 'Some families are so unhealthy, involving the parents would cause more problems than it would solve.'" The proposition could ultimately jeopardize the teen, and the Campaign for Teen Safety claims that supporters of the initiative fail to recognize that not all families are wholesome and receptive to the teen's right to an abortion. Rebuttal to the argument in favor of Proposition 73 states that "proponents [of Prop. 73] believe government can force teens to communicate with their parents," which is ridiculous. In contrast, A Parent's Right to Know website, challenges the ideology that nothing medically happens to a child without their parent's notification: "in California, a daughter under the age of 18 can't get an aspirin from the school nurse, get a flu shot, or have a tooth pulled without a parent knowing." Supporters are aware that the abortion measure is a potential wild card that could be a big win for conservative Republicans. College students have an interesting advantage with Proposition 73. Unemancipated minors to do have a voice to vote, but young adults may easily relate to either the benefits or flaws of this initiative regarding teen abortions. Oct. 2 4 i s the deadline to register to vote. Voter registration cards can be obtained through the ASI o ffice located at Commons 207.

This year will be unique with the Career Expo being a union of both the Graduate/Professional School Fair and Job Fair. "This way students can explore both future career options with employer recruiters as well as graduate and professional school options with college recruiters," said Sandra Punch, Career Center director. The combination is a winning recipe to accomplish two things at once. One hundred and sixteen recruiters are scheduled to attend the Expo, and according to Punch, "sixty-one of those attending are grad schools recruiters." The Career Center advises students to dress as if they were attending an interview; a suit would be very impressive. If a suit isn't possible, Punch suggests wearing a nice pair Student Prevention Club holds Intervention Event vention, Dr. Scott Poland and the Surgeon General of the United States, Richard Carmona.

Students are further encouraged to leave friends and family behind, enabling attendees to give their full focus on their career goals. The handout also recommends that students display enthusiasm and interest in the organization. Be prepared to ask and answer questions, request a prospective employer's business card, and don't forget to ask if you can contact them in the future. Students should also bring a good attitude, a smile, and a strong handshake, Punch said. If students feel unprepared, Punch informed The Pride of four workshops scheduled to help ease the process.

Shari could well be an authority on the subject. A Liberal Studies student with a focus on Arts and Technology, a devoted wife and a mother of two college-age sons, and an Oceanside City Council Member, she must clearly impact the lives of many throughout her community. Shari describes her Cal State San Marcos experience as "long and tough, but very rewarding." Although a politician, Shari is also very down-to-earth and highly accessible, "If you asked me in sixth grade if I aspired to be a council member," she reflected, "I would have told you 'no'. I ran for council out of necessity." One of the first items Shari placed on the agenda now establishes that the City Council plans, staff reports and back up materials be placed on the city's website 72 hours prior to meetings. cl •.. .. As of Oct. 1, the new Web site and binders now allow everyone access to Oceanside's city government. Shari is also working on improving the flow of local traffic, raising awareness on affordable housing and focusing on good jobs and sound economic growth. And, if that isn't more than enough, she is working on several coastal projects including a wetland restoration project, an access route alongside the San Luis Rey River and upgrades to other coastal amenities, including new beach access. Shari states, "I love the ocean and access to it. For years I have fought for public beach access and most recently was able to open one that had been concealed from the public for over 20 years. It's awesome to watch people use the access. Before it was open, the closest beach access point was over a mile away." Successful Student Shari Mackin truly equates success with helping others. When I asked her to describe one of her most "successful" moments, she confided, "Success is having someone remember you 20 years later for holding his hand on a field trip when he was a small child.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Students who once found it difficult to get appointments with a writing tutor should be interested to know that, this semester, many-more should be available. The Pride spoke with Erin Goldwin, director of CSUSM's Writing Center about this latest change. Rest any fears or high hopes of striking writing classes from the required course list; the solution was far less drastic. "At the beginning ofthe semester," Goldwin explained, "GEW 101 students had to come to the writing center nine times, for nine half-hour sessions. The change is that they are still required to take nine tutoring sessions, but now onlyfivehave to be from the Writing Center, the other four utilize an online program called 'V-Mentor'. GEW students are still comirjg in, but significantly less than before." Despite this syllabus change, the prospective writing tutor attends the same class. LTWR 525 is attended by LTWR majors primarily, yet it is open to all students. "There's no requisite major," furthermore, Goldwin added that, "There is talk of opening another type of course for tutoring classes of other backgrounds." From its inception in 1991, the Writing Center has always been available to all. If students needing help with science and business classes ever felt edged out, it was certainly not a matter of bias, as Goldwin saw it. "With the growth in student population," 600 GEW students this semester by her estimation, "there were so many appointments that students couldn't get in. Now, there are a lot more for everybody." When asked if this was the main motiva- (Learning Assistance?) a student services tion behind the change, she was quick to department, but many campuses, includremind us that, as this is her first semes- ing Colorado state, include them as part of ter as Director, "I didn't actually make the the English department, "which was why change.

Goldwin believes the biggest differences vice is an underlying apprehension over are often dependent on where the center is whether a tutor contradicts a professor's "housed". Our Writing Center is part of instructions. "It's common for professors to misunderstand what we do." Goldwin acknowledged. "There's tension, especially in LTWR, some professors will get offended that the need for a Writing Center reflects poorly on their ability, which it doesn't at all. But that's something we've always dealt with." Mr. Sebring related to this experience entirely. "At Palomar there were both pros and cons, some professors were supportive and some preferred students not go. I'd assume they'd support it simply because it gives them additional resources." Director Goldwin was also quick to point out that "One of the philosophies behind the center is that the tutor is not an authority on the writing. The tutors are here to.. .help them find a direction. We're here to give feedback, but rarely a definite answer. A tutor should never say 'you're writing this wrong.' In the manual it specifically notes that they're not supposed to talk about grades." Even as it seems unavoidable to tempt conundrums within the service, those who felt ill-prepared for college writing would hardly be offended to know that many High Schools are establishing services of their own amid the growing number of professional centers. In Mr. Sebring's experience students often "won't realize they're having trouble until its way too late. They're in doubt of what's going on, (they don't know) that the center is here, they struggle on when they could have gotten some help."

Sometimes good things happen when you don't deserve them to happen. The San Diego Padres are a perfect example of that. The Padres have won an invitation to the MLB playoffs that start this week because they won the National League Western Division. However, when you look around the league at the teams with significantly better records who are out of the playoffs, it is easy to say that the Padres don't deserve a birth to the postseason. If the Padres were in any other division they would havefinishedin the bottom half and talks of playoffs would have disappeared in mid-July. I guess I have to stick with my original prediction of a Padres-Angels World Series since both teams are still alive. I am confident with the Angels making the World Series but the Padres are an entirely different story. The common prediction is that the Padres will be eliminated in thefirstround because they have to face the St Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals were the best team in the National League this year and they were the National League Champions last year before losing to the Red Sox in the World Series. However, I can see some rays of hope for the friars. To begin with the Padres won the season series against the Cardinals four-to-three (three-of-four in St. Louis). Also, the Cardinals are a battered team. Their all-star third baseman, Scott Rolen, is out for the playoffs. Larry Walker, their starting rightfielder, is on a day-to-day basis with his neck which means one day he could hit a couple homers, but the next day he couldn't even bend down to pick up a bat. Also, Reggie Sanders, their starting left-fielder, has been in a gigantic slump since returning from the disabled list in mid-September. With all of those injuries the Cardinals still, without a doubt, pose a threat because of two players by the name of Albert Pujols apd Jim Edmonds. Pujols is arguably the best player in the majors, but he can be contained by keeping the batters in front of him off the bases so Pujols doesn't get a chance to do more damage than he is capable. Generally, the person who bats in front of Pujols is Edmonds. Edmonds is dangerous at the plate and in the field as he is arguably the best centerfielder in baseball. The Cardinals pitching staff isn't as menacing as some people think. The Padres fare well against right-handed pitchers and the Cardinals will most likely have a three man pitching rotation of right-handed Chris Carpenter, righthanded Matt Morris, and left-handed Mark Mulder. If the Padres somehow find a way to get past St. Louis then they will face either the Atlanta Braves or the Houston Astros. I would feel much more comfortable facing the Braves since the Padres took five-of-six (two-of-three in Atlanta) during the regular season. The Padres only went three-and-four (one-of-four in Houston) against the Astros during the regular season. The Braves are an easily beatable team because they have a weak bullpen and a starting pitching staff that is really built for a long season and not a short five or seven game series. Not to mention the Braves also have a young team that relies heavily on rookies who have no playoff experience. The Astros on the other hand pose the biggest threat because of their starting pitching. The Astros boast a trifecta starting staff of Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte, and Roger Clemens. Those three guys could be the ace on any team in baseball and as the baseball saying goes, "pitching wins championships." However, the Astros have a weak offense and in the playoffs a team needs to score at least four-runs a game to be competitive. Ahh screw it, who am I kidding? The Padres will lose in thefirstround. But hey, at least they made the playoffs and I can't wait till next season.

If you guessed the new parking lot behind the under-construction Business building, you were right. It is General Lot H and for the 81 students who discovered it during the early weeks of the semester, it spelled freedom from arriving huffing and puffing after trekking up the hill and the stairs. You exit your car, walk about 100 yards onflatground and stroll past the designated smoking area (warning: start holding your breath as you step o ff the asphalt) and you walk right into either Science Hall (A) or Academic Hall. I noticed an anomaly this week. My "discovery" had become full even by 8:00 (I don't have classes 'til 10, but this jewel was worth getting up early) and most of the cars were faculty/staff. At the same time, the usually packed faculty lot about another 100 yards to the right of the Parking Services Building had 2 or 3 empty rows. Hmmmm, perhaps it was just a coincidence! We shouldn't begrudge the purveyors of our education a parking spot that would reduce their walk by perhaps 15 or 20 seconds. After all, they pay to park too. Then there is the issue of 33 handicapped spaces in a lot of 114. I decided I'd better go to the source to find an answer to that disproportionate figure. 1 dropped by the Parking Services office and spoke with Robert Williams, the Coordinator, who can "talk parking all day." Robert explained that one reason "H" was such a secret is that when it was reported to the "Loop" for e-mail distribution, the only way to read about it was to notice the "Click here for news about parking." Here is an abbreviated version of that report: a) Parking Lot H is temporary and Photo by Shannon Schureman / The Pride will eventually be part of a larger project to accommodate at least 1200 cars for General H parking lot located behind the new business building.

A bar on campus could help with student safely BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Special to The Pride reasons why we should have a bar at Cal State San Marcos. The first is due to the f act that C S U S M i s p rimarily a c ommuter With all the construction planned in CSUSM's future, how about building a place for students to relax after class, a place to ease the tensions of exams - a bar? Now, it's true that this suggestion appears to fly in the face of the polices toward alcohol that the campus has put forth in recent years, yet there are good college, where people come, go to class, and leave. An on-campus bar would make a great place for students to interact and get to know each other. N o matter what you may think of bars personally, for many people they are places to relax - or pick up a date - and it would be nice to have a place that students could go, have a drink, LETTER TO THE EDITOR Help yourselves! leader from SDSU expressed an On September 25, 2005 the idea that helped me cope with the CSUSM Lobby Corps assembled aforementioned "get out the vote" at San Diego State University ideas.

The second reason we should have an on-campus bar at CSUSM oddly enough has to do with many of the concerns that the campus has recently expressed over the drinking habits of the student body. Cal State San Marcos was one of a number of state campuses to receive a substantial grant in January of 2005 aimed at curbing alcohol abuse among students. With the money received from the grant CSUSM plans to identify the drinking habits of students when o ff campus and especially in the surrounding community. Although the somewhat shadowy details of this ongoing plan seem more than a bit intrusive into the outside lives of students, its ultimate goal of deterring irresponsible drinking is an important one, especially as CSUSM continues to grow. A s fascist as it may sound, Cal State San Marcos could regulate negative incidents related to drinking by having a bar on campus. Students Would not have to travel * elsewhere to drink after class, which is a What i key safety issue. A bar on campus could also limit the number of drinks a student could have and would ensure that an only twenty-one and up age group was allowed access. Students are going to drink no matter what, so you might as well have them do it where there can be actual control and regulation. The current alcohol policy at CSUSM expressly prohibits the possession or sale of alcohol on campus without prior consent from the campus President. So having a bar on campus would have to be approved by the President, yet should not be a problem if CSUSM were to look to the many colleges that actually have such establishments on campus. It is unfortunate that drinking has attracted such negativity about it when it comes to college students, and having a bar on campus is going to be controversial no matter how you present it. Yet the idea of having an on-campus bar at Cal State San Marcos is not without some merit. What do you think? schra009@csusm.edu �OPINION Who wears the pantsP Who you callin' lazy?

SABLAN Pride Staff Writer Tuesday, October 4, 2005 BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer The day is at its start and I arrive at class five minutes past scheduled commencement and my instructor, glares at me as i f to say "You lazy child. To MY class you must always be on time," to which I return a glance of my own in a silent but credible rebuttal. I seat myself and my mind starts to register as now it is ten minutes past, and a classmate leans over to ask "Are you all right? You look tired." My friend, my fatigued state is only the tip o f the iceberg that is my life. I belong to the population of students everywhere whose responsibilities consume beyond 100% of their available time. I've bit o ff more than I can chew and condemned myself to imprisonment within my busy schedule. If not punching someone's time clock to assist in brainstorming and punctuation at my day job, I'm dwindling away the evening hours answering phones and closing service tickets on my night job. If not studying the effectiveness of small group communication in the morning, I'm discussing Derrida and Marx in the afternoon, and working for The Pride at night. During the week I am a tutor, mentor, and scholar and on weekends I'm a secretary, volunteer, and daughter. Then finally when I do manage to confiscate a slice of my own free time, my boyfriend is waiting hungrily to consume it. For what do I work so hard for? Why the incessant need for struggle? Well... Because if I carry 18 units now and 18 in the spring I can graduate Because my gas needle seems to always fall on empty Because certain classes in my major aren't offered next semester Because my Jetta won't pay for itself Because the writing center needs tutors Because I went over my cellular plan's minutes last month Because certain classes in my minor aren't offered next semester either Because my GPA cannot fall below Dean's List standards Because...I made my bed and I now must lay in it. If God won't put more on us than He knows we can handle, He must think I'm Wonder Woman. Snap back to my early morning incident where I'm put on display as a slacker of a student, if only some people knew the half. Some, a very few, actually do. To these students, I salute your commitments to jobs, organizations, families, and other pass times while simultaneously keeping school a priority.

Even though a riot was predicted, it never showed its face. As this time around the San Diego audience was a bit fickle. At the Foo Fighters, Weezer and Kaiser Chiefs concert many fans seemed indifferent towards these talented bands. Wait, I take that back. One circle pit attempted to create a following. Maybe it's because the Tuesday night concert-loving crowd was thinking about work or school in the morning but there was much to be appreciated at this show. Before I get to the bands, let me note the production crew did a phenomenal job with the lighting and stage set-up that night. The Weezer set was exceptional because everything was over the top. Lighting switched focus from the band to the audience and back again. There were even three different backdrops accentuating thé stage. One, a giant version of the cover art from the band's latest album "Make Believe," the next exemplified a starry night and last was the Weezer "W" flashing in golden lights. It was quite a change from the Kaiser Chiefs set, which didn't have much flash or pizzazz, but it did have heart. Watching them is like watching an old punk rock video, with each member jumping up and down the stage. I was excited to hear such songs as "I predict a Riot" and "Oh My God" performed. Kaiser Chiefs is comprised of singer Ricky Wilson, guitarist Andrew White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick Baines and drummer Nick Hodgson. I was pleased with their performance. Weezer was a disappointment, with newer songs "Beverly Hills" and "We Are All on Drugs" just doesn't do it for me. They seem too shallow to be coupled with Foo Fighters. The sound quality wasn't as good as listening to their studio-produced recordings and the light show was what kept me entertained. I personally would not suggest seeing Weezer in concert. After a much anticipated wait came Dave Grohl and the rest of the Foo Fighters (guitarist Chris Shiflett, bassist Nate Mendel and drummer Taylor Hawkins). Grohl was all about audience interaction. Besides his trademark playing in the audience and jumping all over the set, he gave a shout-out to a particular fan that went on stage and exposed his balls at a previous San Diego concert. He even encouraged a repeat of the stunt. Though a fan made it on stage, he didn't listen to Grohl's instructions. The Foo Fighters were a great treat and Grohl even stated he wanted to perform more shows in our country's finest city.
