Rather than being placed on a noweb/statuecerdits.htm the University Police report BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer University Police prepare for the spring semester, highlighting crime alerts, offering students sound-advice and welcoming three new members to the department. "The area, not only the campus, is growing," said Chief of Police, Aaron Woodward about the concerns of a growing campus in relation to the growth of the department. "Our concern is that we are allotted 15 officers; base staffing is only what is budgeted. We would like to get ahead of the game, in terms of staffing." Over the holiday break, the Police made four arrests; two alcohol related incidents, one drug possession and one drug possession with the intent to sell. A male was arrested after driving past campus on Twin Oaks Valley Road, where he made an illegal u-turn, on Friday, Dec. 30. The simple traffic violation led to the discovery that the driver had over one and half grams of methamphetamine in his possession. The driver was arrested and taken to jail. Two days later, on the first of the year, a male was taken to jail for being drunk in public. Another alcohol related incident occurred on Jan. 8, when a UVA resident notified the Police Department that her inebriated boyfriend was attempting to drive off, despite her pleas. There are also allegations that the boyfriend damaged UVA property when throwing a rock at a window, but Police are still investigating this case. University Police also arrested a known San Marcos gang member on charges of drug possession with intent to sell. During a routine equipment violation stop, an Officer noticed that a passenger in the backseat of the vehicle had marijuana. After further investigation, the police were able to find evidence suggesting that the male had intentions on selling the ounce and a half of marijuana. The affiliated gang member, a parolee, was arrested and booked in jail. The driver was cited for an equipment violation and driving without a license. In addition to the Police Department's focus on crime activity, the department also promotes community involvement and education. In December, the department participated in the Teddy Bear Drive for the young patients at Children's Hospital.

All registered candidates will be invited to participate in the debate, which is scheduled to be held on Thursday, March 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the M. Gordon Clarke Field House/University Student Union. The 50th Congressional District seat was vacated on December 1, 2005 after Cunningham pleaded guilty to accepting more than $2 million in bribes in a criminal conspiracy. "He was a good friend to the campus," said Chartes D. Guthrie Jr., executive director of the Alumni Association, about former Congressman Cunningham.

"It must be everyone working on their New Year's Resolutions. However, it typically slows down as the semester continues with students becoming more involved in classes and assignments." Membership to the fitness center is covered in the University Student Union fee of $50, .which is included with CSUSM mandatory student fees.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer It was December of '03 when an old friend of mine began giving updates on a new friend of his, each one giving little opportunity to do more than gape and quietly send out a little anonymous hope. When, a few weeks ago, he handed over his T-mobile Sidekick, "here, Ivy speaks French too," I was more than a little pressed for the right vocabulary. That any student here could have passed her in the hall stirs an amazing interaction between curiosity and compassion. There's nothing sensational or exclusive about being able to email Ivy an interview, save that she is that much closer to recovery and that much more able to show us a person who refuses to be lost. So, I think the first thing we better start out with is the website you mentioned, not just the address, but who set it up, who maintains it, etc. www.thebookofivy.com was set up by my dad. He does all the work for it, he set it up, and he keeps it going. The web space was given to him by The Reef. I'm not sure what The Reef is, I just know it is a website. My website has a link to my benevolent fund, which is used to help pay for all my horrible medical expenses. Could you describe your high school experience for us in some detail? Where did you attend, what was it like academically/ socially? I went to Temecula Valley High School, and it was the worst time of my life.

Markstein Hall will be the new address for many departments, including History, Literature "cool" in front of their other loser friends to give anyone who was a little different a chance. I was a good student who had a 4.0 through my entire senior year when most students were slacking off. I had a very small group of close friends and then a bunch of little wannabes who idolized my best friend (Chase) and I. I think a lot of students felt a little threatened by me because I am a lot smarter than them and I was never afraid to speak my mind, stand up for the underdog and tell people when they were stupid. What was the state of your college plans when you graduated? My dream was always to go to Berkeley. Unfortunately, my father was out of work and we couldn't afford it. My plan was to do my general education at a less expensive school and then transfer to Berkeley for my major. I was planning on majoring in either music, photography, or French. Did any classes, high school or otherwise, give you any insight into either side of the experience? None at all.

Any suggestions? personal detail). Is there anything you want to share about your hospital experience? I really don't remember much about the accident. I remember I was driving between 70-75 MPH in the fast lane. Some jerk wanted to go faster, so he cut me off. I swerved to miss him and lost control. I went over a cliff and was thrown 150 feet. I landed face down in a bush, which crushed my chest. All ribs were broken in multiple places. I broke my sternum which ruptured my spleen, lacerated my liver, and bruised my heart. My lungs had collapsed and werefillingwith fluid. The paramedics had to place an emergency chest tube in the field (which is almost never done). I was flown to the hospital with less than 1% chance of survival. You will have to be more specific about what you want to know concerning my hospital stay. It was almost 2 years, after all. Is there anything in particular you feel you might have 'missed out' on? I missed out on a lot. I didn't get to see my brother graduate because I was too sick. I spent both my 20th and 21st birthdays in the hospital and with sepsis. AFI (my favorite band of all time) called me on my birthday, but I was too sick to talk to them. I missed out on 2 years of my kitty's life, which may not seem to be that big of a deal, but she is like my child. I missed out on concerts I wanted to go to, the opportunity to sing with AFI, and social events with friends. Absolutely. People " don't know how to act in these sort of situations.

About 7 months after my accident (I was still in the CCU) another young woman was brought into the hospital with similar injuries. Her family was all the way in Florida, so I asked my mom to go be a mom to her as well and I sent my dad out to get her a cuddly teddy bear to hug, She ended up losing her leg-, but because of all the doctors and nurses learned from me, her life was saved.

However, I do wonder There are two misconceptions about a couple of things. about the game that need to be cleared I want to know why there was never up. First of all USC did the right thing by going for it on fourth-and-twenty two. They were trying to put the game out of reach. They also used a play that had been effective not just the entire night, but a play that had been effective for three years. They rushed LenDale White up the gut. White didn't get the two yards and he is the best power back in college football so I really doubt anyone else could have. Hindsight being 20/20 USC could have considered an alternate play such as the one that USC used against Notre Dame on fourth-, and-six where Leinart baited the rush and found Dwayne Jarrett in one-onone coverage down the sideline. Secondly, this was not the best college football game of all time. That's all I have been hearing about for two weeks now. It was an awesome game, maybe top 10 of all time but certainly not the best. Yes, this game did have two Heisman winners, two undefeated teams, and a bunch of future NFL players, but the 2003 national championship between Miami and Ohio St also had a ton of future NFL players like Craig Krenzel, Willis McGahee, Ken Dorsey, Chris Gamble, and Drew Carter. The 2003 game also went into several overtimes and included an even bigger upset than the Texas game because everyone thought Ohio St. would not be able to score possession for possession with Miami. Now that USC is no longer a guarantee hopefully the sun doesn't let me down. CSU system prohibits alcohol at sporting events BY ERIN YOUNG Pride Staff Writer A new order w as issued on Dec. 23, 2005 "prohibiting all 23 CSU campuses f rom engaging in any sale of alcoholic beverages at any intercollegiate athletic events held in university owned or operated facilities." According to the alcohol policy released by the o ffice of the Chancellor Public A ffairs " this policy will also limit the alcohol advertising of beer and wine at all campuses." "The CSU believes that service of alcoholic beverages at intercollegiate athletic events in university owned or operated facilities is contrary to its systemwide alcohol policy and to its purpose of promoting a safe and healthy learning environment for all members of the university community," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. With the new alcohol policy in f ull a ffect it u nfortunately c onflicts with p reexisting contracts that include t he sale of alcohol at athletic events including football and basketball games. Although these policies w ill remain established u ntil there contracts expire they will have strict limitations and most likely not renewed. "I believe this policy is the logical and appropriate next step for the CSU to take," said John D. Welty, President of California State University, Fresno and chair of the CSU Alcohol Policies and Prevention Programs Committee. "The CSU system believes that students under the influence of alcohol cannot perform at their f ull potential," states the alcohol policy release. The pressure of alcohol abuse in any form contradicts the positive contribution to the learning environment and public image that the CSU system is striving to accomplish.

Well find out here: A survey of the student body was conducted in November of2005. The survey addressed the attitudes of CSUSM students concerning the current food choices being offered on campus including its quality and price. In addition, information was gathered on what substitute food choices they might prefer over the current offerings. The information obtained from the survey indicated that most students are dissatisfied with the food options on campus. The primary reason behind the dissatisfaction is the price; most expressed that the prices charged are too high and the available options too limited. Over half (64 percent) of the respondents indicated they felt the value of food was only fair or poor. When questioned about eating on campus 21.9 per- cent of respondents indicated they brought food to campus from home while another 8.8 percent actually went home to eat. Another segment chose not to eat campus food but purchased food off-site and ate off-site (18.4 percent) or purchased off-site and returned to campus (7 percent). Despite the apparent dissatisfaction with food options available on campus 27.2 percent of respondents indicated that they do purchase food on campus. When questioned about the categories of food purchased most often on campus the majority of respondents indicated that they purchase beverages. The next most frequently purchased food types were sandwiches and pizza. On overwhelming majority of the respondents indicated, they were aware of food options at "The Dome", "Campus Coffee", "Starbucks" and the various vending machines. However, not many were aware that food is available at the "Cougar Den". Students named 23 unique food vendors they would like to see on campus, all but one being "fast-food". Given the option of having new food choices on campus students were three times more likely to suggest a burger type eatery (Wendy's, Carl's Jr., etc), a deli style eatery (Subway, Quizno's, etc.), or a Mexican style eatery (Mr. Taco, Del Taco, etc.) vs. pizza, chicken specific, or oriental type eateries. Slightly less than 10 percent of respondents indicated they would like to see a pub style eatery (with beer) on campus. What does all this mean? For you, the student, it means if you want to see some changes you (we) need to unite our voices, start a letter writing campaign, let our dissatisfaction be heard by the administration! The survey was conducted by Marketing 442 students, Debra Doerfler, Albert Orozco, Matt Leventhal and Nick Villarino, as part of a class project. Debra Doerfler We have set some hefty goals for ourselves here at The Pride. We have pulled together an eclectic team of writers and editors who have brought you, the Cougars of Cal State San Marcos, a pretty darn good newspaper. Now, we want to go beyond last semester and bring forth a paper worthy of the city of San Marcos. I do hope that you, the readers, will continue to email us at The Pride (pride@csusm.edu) with how you feel we are doing. First, I will give you a n update on our staff. The four main editors are returning. Zachary, Christine, and Erin will continue to bring the articles in. The Ombudsman from last semester really kept us in check, so I promoted him to Managing Editor. Let us know if he does a good job. If you emailed him last semester, please continue to do so. Our layout and design will be our biggest change. Jason Encabo, who should never be forgotten when talking about editors, has moved to the position of business manager. So, you will probably be seeing a new look for The Pride in the coming weeks as the new layout person, Jason Saumur, will be taking the helm. We have a new staff of writers starting this week. The first class is tonight at 5 p.m. and we should see some new names in the paper in the coming weeks. Last semester, we saw the birth of some reoccurring themes and columnists. Robbins Report brought some controversy and Cash Corner had some good advice. We hope to continue these columns this semester with a long time favorite Jock Talk with Josh. We are still looking for more. Believe it or not, good writers are not easy to find. So, we are looking for a few good writers who are interested in beats. A beat is a journalism term that refers to writing for a specific area. For instance, we are interested in a business beat, something that might coincide with Cash Corner, a medical beat, and a political beat. Plus, we could always use a good movie critic. The journalism class will help students write in all sections of a newspaper, like News and Features. So if you are interested in newspapers, I highly recommend it. One of my favorite sections in our newspaper is the opinion section. Students can put down on paper their frustrations and concerns about a multitude of subjects. Politics, food on campus, and even The Pride are all topics that can be covered by you, the student. Please air your frustrations with us, just have you facts straight. Patrick B. Long Editor-in-chief Robbins Report BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride According to our President, defeatists are those folks who refuse to see anything that is right or positive. Mommy, I don't want to be a defeatist. Given the opportunity, our President might have labeled me a defeatist last year. I trashed ASI for serving our needs with a sex-worker advocate, questioned those categorically opposed to fee increases, and plowed over the idea of a border fence. This year, I'm going to play nicely. Scratch that plan. Jason to base, over: There are still Charlies in the trees.

My last hope was that the karate trained monkey, introduced entirely too late in the movie, would get into an epic battle with Bob Barker from the Price is Right, but no.

Ok, so we all get a little jealous sometime. Big deal, it's only natural. But how far is too far? I want to clear the smoke about jealousy. It's highly normal - the fear of losing the one person you love most is an overwhelming emotion. But when your emotions are centered around reading your partner's mind and if you can't read their mind you take it upon yourself to look through their cell phone (outgoing, incoming calls and text messages) it's gone abnormally too far. When you suffer from jealously you're letting your emotions and insecurities get the best of you, it can change who you are as a human being. You become aggressive, excluded and honestly crazy. A common misconception about unhealthy jealousy is the belief that it measures your partner's interest and love in the relationship, when in fact it is only the measurement of the insecurity level. Thefirststeps to cure your jealous ways are to: recognize and admit it. As long as you know you have a problem you can work on it . Take your insecurities and 'squash' them. Be comfortable in your own skin and most of all: be confident. Yes, easier said then done, but find that inner fire that drives you to be who you are, no one or any amount of jealousy can take that away from you. Get to the core of your jealousy - are you scared that your partner is going to cheat? A word of advice, if someone is low enough to cheat on their supposed loved one there is nothing you can do to prevent it, you might be able to delay it with words and actions but sooner or later it's bound to happen, and wouldn't you rather have it be sooner than later so you stop wasting your time? According to webmd.com "to overcome or at least dilute jeal- ously you most know your own strengths, what do you specifically bring to the table?" Everyone is exceptional in their own way so what's different about you? Also, "don't compare yourself to anyone else because you're only sabotaging your own uniqueness." "It's important to remember that jealousy has a purpose, all emotions try to tell us something about ourselves, jealousy is a fear of losing power." Jealousy is compulsive, snooping and violating another's privacy is only going to harm your relationship and torture you with unanswerable questions? The best way to 'squash' jealousy is dealing with it directly, before it causes your relationship to self destruct.
