Former furniture store owners JoAn and Richard McMahan donated $2.3 million to CSUSM to build a 3,800-square-foot meeting and conference center. The facility will be located, on the knoll overlooking the campus entrance with the track field just below the site. The Planning, Design & Construction department is currently seeking to hire an architectural firm. While no official date has been set to begin construction, the planning stages for the facility have already begun. "Our intent is to only use the donation money to build and equip the building," said Russell Decker, director of Planning, Design & Construction. Decker estimates that no public CSUSM funds will be needed for the project. The donation is expected to cover all costs of construction, labor, and the facility's resources. The McMahan House will-be furnished with a commercial kitchen capable of hosting banquets and providing dining services for luncheons or meetings, as well as being equipped with the necessary audio-visual technology to aid in presentations, lectures, and conferences. The facility will also have a functional manager's office and will "likely be a source of student employment," according to Decker. A planning committee team will be developed to provide input on construction and help with the functionality of the McMahan House. The committee has yet to formed, but is not limited to professional staff. Students are welcome to join the planning committee team to help oversee the transformation of this dirt hill into a much needed service. VOL. XIV NO. 7 Lady Cougars get new members Try-outs prove to be demanding but promising for others BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer The Lady Cougars, previously named Cougar Dancers, held closed-auditions in the Hunter Gymnasium at the Clark Field House on Wednesday, Oct. 5. Nine women auditioned for the intermediate/advanced dance team displaying technique, style and passion for the sport. "We're looking for experience and knowledge of jazz, hiphop, and lyrical dance moves. But most importantly, someone we can work with; someone who can progress," said Aliesha Waleneikowski, current member of Lady Cougars who was teaching the dance routine to the prospective members. "It will be a basic routine to show style and technique," Waleneikowski noted. The routine had an emphasis on jazz and prospective dancers needed to quickly pick up on the moves.

She wanted to do something different than past balls that have been held at the Escondido Center for the Arts and Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride See DONATION, page 2 Pachanga Resort & Casino. Hard Rock Café was chosen due to its unique atmosphere and the facility's eagerness to work with ASI.

"It doesn't have to be an overwhelming process. In as little as 10 days you can put together an amazing scholarship campaign" said Kaplan. Prospective and current college students can dread the scholarship process due to the length of time often associated with searching for, writing, and all the other aspects of applying for them. Kaplan "Receives a letter or an email every week" from students that have read the book and obtained scholarships. Kaplan said that a student recently wrote in and informed him about "$40,000 in scholarships" obtained. California Student Opportunity and Access Program (CalSOAP) brought Kaplan to host a seminar about scholarships and financial aid. The main staples of the seminar were that: if you have a need forfinancialaid for college and you meet the criteria, you can get it; if you want money for college and meet academic criteria, you can get it; and getting the money for college doesn't have to be a long tedious process.

Deondra Hagan braved the storm in Louisiana and moved to Fallbrook with her aunt after the storm damaged her house. Deondra never expected that the hurricane would do so much damage. Her family has lived through storms nearly every year. She went on to explain that the damage was mostly from wind. "We've never evacuated for a hurricane." "It got bad around 3 a.m., the wind was blowing and trees were snapping," said Deondra. She described how the wind tore off the shingles of her house.

I knew that her experience on campus would be different than mine, so I decided to chat with her and hear some of her stories. Juliet grew up in Santa Monica Beach as the oldest of four in a family of two parents, two sisters and a brother. She went to Santa Monica High School before moving to San Diego, and went to UCSD before coming here to CSUSM. One of the reasons she came to CSUSM is because of how accommodating our campus is to the disabled. She said she loves how she can find talking computers, Braille everywhere and a friendly student body. I asked her how one should approach her when they see her on campus and she said she's always open to talk, but that it's extremely important to identify yourself. I also discovered that Juliet loves to surf.. .yes, surf. She also enjoys music, technology, and taking long 12 mile walks with her guide dog Marly, whom she named after the reggae legend Bob Marley. Her major is communications with an emphasis in public affairs. Juliet gradually went blind, due to a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, about nine years ago, but wasn't completely blind until aboutfiveyears ago. She said the hardest adjustment has been transportation, especially in North County. I turned my attention to Marly, Juliet's beautiful golden retriever, and asked if she's always had Marly to help get around. She told me that she actually used cane travel for five years before getting Marly. I asked her about the qualifications to get a guide dog and learned that after she applied people from the service came out and interviewed her. According to Juliet, it's important to have good cane skills, live an active life style, be in good health and able to handle a dog. Juliet is an advocate for the disabled and is President of the Beach Cities Chapter National Federation for the Blind. As she seemed so comfortable with being blind, I asked her if she had known anyone who was blind before she went blind herself, and surprisingly she hadn't. Juliet told me that she would love to have her eye sight back if she could and told me about a procedure that is still being developed. The doctor implants a computer chip in the retina which takes pictures and sends them to the optic nerve so the brain can process the image. This procedure won't be ready for another five years, and even if she does undergo the procedure successfully, she states playfully that she plans to keep Marly. Until then, Juliet maintains a positive outlook on life, which is most evident when she states "even after you're blind, life is still awesome." trade ^mddyow rejmdk^ \ ; 7 v<v 4 "No*Bachste^geóf life is essential for fiMHirtg 0 p r o p e r cycle, / |pigres^^^^ffure' generations" / ¡$i .; I s >( Senior \ - I, > " . . .f^ji % '4 f ' < S lifffp ^ GIob^tAysiness l j l ^ D r • < S ; . ; fep^QBSfl J ohn-Paul Dal Wife.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos' German club hosted the celebratory event, "Oktoberfest", last Thursday in the Library courtyard. Offering f ree root beer, bratwurst, and the chance to revel in German culture, they invited the campus to enjoy all the trimmings of a festival still celebrated yearly in parts of Germany. Even before Oktoberfest's scheduled opening at noon, at least 20 students were standing in line, awaiting the traditional German foods. Following the event, I asked German Club Vice President, Jean Scheuneman, what she thought around the Oktoberfest cultural event both as a local and as an international event. FEATURESJ r £ / / \ l UJVjL/ "In Germany, it [Oktoberfest] has stuck pretty close t o its original roots. Here in the US, Americans might view it as another excuse to go out and drink, but that is not what Oktoberfest is all about. It is a part of German history." According to Scheuneman Oktoberfest originated after the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxony. "You could say that it originated from a very long wedding reception that lasted for 5 days. On the last day there were horse races and it officially ended the festival. The decision to repeat the races basically gave birth to Oktoberfest." CSUSM didn't have the horse races. "Everyone seemed to enjoy what we had going on.

But it was worth it.. .a little over a hundred people showed up...another club officer, Virginia Young, dressed up in traditional Oktoberfest attire...I think it attracted more people over then I had expected."

In a h elpful exchange with Ms. Wong, she echoed many of the German Club's fond memories. "We had German dancers Bill and Erma Fassel showcase the event. Bill p erformed with his accordion ^and sang authentic G erman songs which Erma sang and danced. The contest "Sausage Toss" was where 10 contestants were randomly picked and given two chances to toss a polish sausage on top of a (root beer) keg that was about 3 -4 yards away. Whoever got them on top of the keg won great p rizes...It was a great game that the participants loved." Scheuneman encourages everyone to attend next year's Oktoberfest, adding that "since Oktoberfest is fairly brand new to San Marcos we can expect it to grow and become an even bigger event next year.** .¿E3B3 MODELS NOW OPEN Ü 11 SAH MARCOS AFFORDABLE, A miNABLE, REMARKABLE; Those are just a few of the words used to describe Carriage Walk.

' $ t f j | | $17.0Q per hour ; Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride The artwork of Malaquias Montoya displayed in the Kellogg Library. will remain on display through the fall 2005 semester. In his artist's statement he explains that, "As a Chicano artist I feel a responsibility that all my art should be a reflection of my political beliefs, an art of protest." Montoya's art portrays international struggles within a community, and can be said to give a better understanding of the world we live in, that we are not an isolated culture that failed, but that we have a common antagonist that makes it necessary for us to unite. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and raised in San Joaquin Valley, California, Montoya grew up in a family of seven children with parents who could not read or write Spanish or English. Since 1968, Montoya has lectured and taught at numerous universi- ties and colleges, including Stanford and the UC Berkeley. He was a professor at the California College for the Arts and Crafts for 12 years, 5 of which he was the Chair of Ethnic Studies department. Montoya has been a Professor at the University of California, Davis since 1989. His classes, through the departments of Chicana/o Studies and Art, include silkscreening, poster making, mural painting, and focus on Chicano culture and history. Montoya's works with acrylic paintings, murals, washes, and drawings, but he is primarily known for his silkscreen prints, exhibited both nationally and« internationally. Also in his artist statement, Montoya explains that "This form allows me to awaken consciousness, to reveal reality and to actively work to transform it. What better function for art at this time? A voice for the voiceless." Being born into a silent and voiceless humanity formed Montoya's personal views on art and society. Realizing later that it was not by choice that we remained mute but by conscious effort on the part of those in power, he realized that his art could only be of protest-a protest against what he felt to be a death sentence. Three prominent themes that run through Montoya's art are injustice, empowerment, and international struggle. The Context Library Series wants students to be exposed to new ways of understanding and experiencing the world, engaging them and allowing them a venue to contribute to academia as young scholars.

I spent most of my days playing pool and video games with my friends. I knew that I was soon going to grow up to be a sports journalist, so I made the most ofjust being a kid. However, the times are changing. The biggest concern on 16year old Michelle Wie's mind is if she can make a par-4. The 16-year old amateur officially became a professional golfer last week when she signed multi-million dollar endorsement deals with Nike and Sony which will earn her over $10 million dollars annually. My Uncle always told me that everyone makes the exact amount of money they deserve in this world for their abilities. I tend to agree with that and I am all for getting as much money as you can, but this girl has not won a single tournament in the LPGA and she is already going to be making more money than the veterans on tour. The $10 million that she will be making annually makes it hard for me to feel sorry for her, but I kind of do. Wie should be a sophomore in high school enjoying this time that she will never get back. I mean some of my greatest memories in life were from the age of 13-17 when I was in high school. She will never get that opportunity to create childhood memories. I believe Tiger Woods put it best when he said at 16-years old he was only concerned about what colleges he was going to apply to. Woods, perhaps the greatest golfer to ever swing a club, has a valid point. Wie needs to grow up and develop her game much like Woods who went to Stanford after high school. People may think I am a hypocrite because I siipport the right of seniors in high school to enter the MLB and NBA drafts. However, I am not a hypocrite because those people are 18-years old when they make that jump. They are allowed to vote and go to war so I see no problem in allowing them to pursue their careers since they are of legal age. I just don't see how the LPGA can morally j ustify letting someone became a professional golfer when she can't even drive the golf cart unless there is an adult with her. I mean I know why the LPGA, Nike, and Sony are behind her. Cai State San Marcos runs strong at UNLV Cross Country Invite Clearly because she is someone that they can market to death, just like the IRL is in marketing heaven right now with Danica Patrick (another person who hasn't wont jack, but because she is attractive, she is a huge draw). Another reason I am not too happy about her declaration of becoming a professional is that she is already taking away press from the great golfers on tour. Wie says she wants to play in the Masters one day. I personally think that would be a shame, because there is literally no way she could win and she would take away so much press from the contenders. You really only have to look at Annika Sorenstám to realize my statement is not sexist. Annika is without a doubt the best Women's golfer in the world and she is even more dominant in her league than Tiger is in his. I was in f ull support of Annika making a run at winning a no-name Men's tournament several months ago. However, she couldn't even make the cut and the average Men's tournament doesn't even compare in difficulty to the Masters. When I turn on Sportscenter I want to see how Annika and Tiger fared in their respective tournaments, not some 16-year old girl who hasn't won anything. Just let her be a child like the rest of us were allowed to be.

The voice of Michelle Nolan introduces the band's album, singing of discontentment in the present moment. The vocals echo eerily, suggesting an unhappiness that is unbearable but hard to pinpoint. The second track, titled 'It Never Gets Easier' provides an explanation to the intro, speaking of a shallow romance based on coffee shop meetings and small talk. John Nolan states, "But a strong distaste for confrontation leaves no room for self expression." This phrase is easy to relate with. Holding back honesty in fear of causing offense often occurs in relationships. The most intelligent aspect of the track is Nolan's breaking apart of the word 'sentences' into distinct syllables as he sings, "The syllables . .. just aren't sen - ten - ces." Through this he highlights the lack of communication in the relationship. Track three's 'Later that Year' shifts the album's focus from unfulfilling love to the broken promises of war. It starts off with what sounds like snoring surrounded by an acoustic melody. The melody grows and lyrics speak of bodies BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Images courtesy of Raybeez/Victory Records returned wrapped in flags. Nolan and Nolan then repeat, "We did the math and it wasn't worth it after all" continuously, emphasizing the huge discrepancy between the number of lives lost and the number originally expected. I assume this is geared toward President Bush and the war in Iraq. The following two Straylight Run tracks focus again on the pain of love and then on the pain of war. I sense a major pattern. My favorite line from the latter half of the album is, "Don't you say a word unless you're pretty sure that you want it analyzed." This shows the irony that comes from one person speaking casually without thought and the other taking the words as gospel. It is possible I am overanalyzing Dolan's words myself. But if I am, I'm sure he would be flattered. The final song is a redo of Bob Dylan's 'With God on our Side.' The song is basically seen as a satire on pro-war fundamentalist Christians. It provides a quick history lesson while poking f un at the idea of religious protection. It closes with 'if God's on our side, he'll stop the next war/ This and other remarks would be quite laughable if they weren't so true. I hadn't heard of Straylight Run until recently, but I enjoy their music. Though the new EP lasts less than half an hour, the information within it can keep a person occupied for a lot longer. The stage was set afire at Copley's Symphony Hall on Monday night, Oct. 3, with the musical sounds of Sigur Ros. The Icelandic band has made a return to the U.S. in order to play a small tour. Their performance was unrivaled, with a two hour Image courtesy of Bad Taste Label set on stage, and with each band member playing various instruments, Sigur Ros showed their vast understanding of music, and how to bring the audience to their feet. If you can't understand the lyrics it is reasonable, as the lead singer uses both Icelandic and gibberish in a •made-up language called hopelandic. The language is used as another instrument in their already vast array. It is a beautiful assortment of strong vocal bursts coupled with soft and brilliant spoken parts. As for their show at Copley's, the lighting was phenomenal, as was the acoustics of the building. You could hear every note from every instrument, be it from Jonsi Birgisson wailing on his guitar with a violin bow, or the intricate notes on the keyboard by Kjartan Sevinsson. The show was the best I've ever seen, hands down. Sigur Ros played a good amount of songs from their new album Takk (released 2005). It was the blend of old and new songs that kept the crowd entertained as they explored a newer musical direction, but still returning to their old mixture of strings and slow, intense music. For more information on Sigur Ros or their albums, you can visit them at www.sigur-ros.co.uk.

This is one of his lines while pitching Brandon Lang (Matthew McConaughey) a job offer to his illustrious firm. "We are selling certainty in an uncertain time," Abrams continues. Lang, a former football star with a knee i njury that retired h im, attracts Abrams when he correctly predicts wins for several football games in one weekend. Abrams recruits Lang f rom Las Vegas to j oin him in New York. Lang is then lavished with a new image, money, a sports car, $1000 suits, women and even a new name, which becomes John Anthony. At the top of his game, his winning streak ranges f rom 80 percent to even 100 percent. He becomes " The Million Dollar Man". But as the saying goes, "Everybody's good luck streak has to end sometime." "Two for the Money" reminds me a lot of "Boiler Room," where young men were shaped into hardcore salesmen. They're not selling stock, but are selling themselves, an idea and a dream. Same goes for Abrams and his gambling advising firm. They convince their clients why they should bet on teams through their sales pitch. Abrams and Lang's father/son and mentor/protégée relationship is the second best aspect of the film. Abrams suffers mild heart attacks and his marriage is constantly on the rocks. But for him to mold Lang into a younger version of himself, is in a way, making Lang walk the plank, but Abrams doesn't care. The best aspect of the film is Pacino's performance; it makes this film worth seeing. He grinds up any role and makes it his own, as if the screenwriter was writing it specifically for him. I dare you to name one bad Pacino role, you can't because it doesn't exist. His performance definitely makes the movie.
