A view of the new parking lot from Markstein Hall.
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
After several months of work,
Parking and Transportation
Services has made significant
changes to parking conditions
on campus the most prominent
of which is the addition of parking lot "F". Accommodating over
1500 vehicles, lot "F" is the largest surface lot to date at CSUSM.
According to the Parking and
Transportation Services website,
other additions include upgraded
parking signage, refreshed surfaces for parking lots "B" and
"C", an extension of Campus
View Drive providing access
to parking lots "F" and "H".
3
m
Access to parking lot "H" will be
redirected through the new parking lot (lot "F") and the current
entrance to lot H behind Markstein Hall will be closed. Parking lot "H" will now be a faculty/
staff and disabled only parking
lot. To help fund these changes,
parking fees for the fall semester
have been increased to $248.00
and $315.00 for UVA students,
with another increase is planned
to be implemented later.
Lot "F" will have the following
features, added carpool spaces,
95 motorcycle spaces, drive up
and walk up permit machines
with credit card capability, emergency pole stations and a new
entrance to parking lot "H".

The book on passing
classes without textbooks

Zachary Simon ponders why he ever bought so many books for class.
Saving money while going
to college can be a difficult
task. Yet one way to save literally thousands of dollars
during your years at college
is to simply not buy your textbooks. It sounds harder than it
is but if you can handle it, there
are a number of simple ways
to not buy your textbooks and
still pass your classes.
First off, don't buy your
books ahead of time. A lot of
students stress about buying
their textbooks, and making
sure they do the readings.
Yet stressing won't necessarily produce an A at the end of
the semester. It's like getting
nervous before a test; you aire
only doing yourself a disservice. Instead of buying your
textbooks before a class starts,
wait until you're actually in
the class for a few days to see
if the teacher is really going
to use the books. Teachers are
required to assign textbooks
for their classes, even if they
are not going to use them. Plus,
p ^ l j ^ l i yott looking f M ^ ^ d to for Fall 2006?
many assigned textbooks are
often only recommended and
not required by teachers. More
often than not if you simply
attend class and pay attention to the lectures you'll pass
without a problem and without
the need of the textbooks.
Of course, this doesn't work
for all classes, and if you really
need to have or use a textbook
for one of your classes there
are cheaper ways to access
them than visiting the campus
bookstore. For example, try
borrowing the required reading from someone else in the
class. Many teachers often
only use the textbooks as a
way to supplement material
learned in class, thus you may
only need the text once or twice
during a semester. Classmates
are usually more than willing
to loan you a book, especially
if it's only for a day or two.
Another good method of
gaining access to textbook
information, if needed, is
through the Internet. For
example, if you have a membership to amazon.com you
can actually access many

I jumped into the work
force as soon as I turned eighteen, and worked fulltime for
nearly twelve years.
This time included eight
years of military service, in
which I signed up for the G.I.
Bill, in hopes to go to college some day. I began college around my second year
of my military service, working slowly, but methodically,
toward my degree. Changing
my degree a couple times,
I seemed to start over every
time.
When I left the military, I
had a goal in mind: college.
Well, one thing led to another,
and I got sidetracked. I went
back to work fulltime again,
chipping away at classes at
night.
I decided two years ago
to devote my entire time to
finishing my degree. I began
my sabbatical from work in
order to finish, finally after
several years, my bachelor's
degree. My company seemed
happy enough to let me take
the time and return when I
was finished, but I had other
plans.
I walked in the graduation
ceremony in May 2006, but
had to return for classes in
both sessions of the summer
semester. So, two weeks ago,
I actually finished my last
class of my college career,

books in their entirety online,
including many books used
for CSUSM classes, without
paying a penny. If you need a
textbook for more than a few
days, try simply using the
library. Even if the book is
not shelved locally, the library
wilt order just about any book
you need, for free, through
inter-library loan.
If all else fails and you must
buy a textbook, visit websites
like half.com to find textbooks at their cheapest. Publishers make their money by
constantly releasing new editions of textbooks each year,
keeping prices high. Yet, often
the information contained in
a new textbook edition is the
same as in the older editions.
Thus, if you need a 7th edition
of a $100 book, you can probably find the 5th edition of that
same book for literally $10
online.
It's well known how expensive textbooks can be, so don't
let them break your wallet;
there are plenty of ways
around buying and paying lots
of money for your textbooks.

THE PRIDE
after spending over twelve
years working on a four year
degree.
So what is life like after
college? Well, it seems that it
is exactly the same as when I
entered.
Thefirstthing I committed
to was a vacation. I took my
wife to Las Vegas to make
up all of the time I spent at
school studying and working.
It was nice to spend my first
weekend in years not worrying about my homework.
I returned to my job,
because I sat around not sending my résumé in proper time
for any interviews during
summer session, and found it
was waiting for me. In fact, it
was like returning home after
several ears tofindyour room
the same, but covered in dust.
The company did not replace
me, though, I wish they had.
I spent all this time to
return to the same job, I can't
wait until my résumé catches
they èye of a great company
with large salaries and even
better benefits.
So, I worked on my résumé,
spending a full week tweaking small elements on the
résumé. I found out that it
takes as much time as a full
time job, to find a full time
job.
I'm slowly coming around
to the idea that I will return to
school. I'm currently looking
at law school for my return in
education.

time now, but expect more sports
stories.
Since I have been at CSUSM,
the quality of work from this

that baton from Patrick B. Long
and run with it to a whole new
level. No pressure or anything,

While the weather is still
hot during the days, the evenings
have become increasingly cool
as the fall semester begins. The
change in weather inevitably
leads to a change in beers—the
sweeter and lighter colored beers
and ales of summer give way to
richer and more f ull bodied beers
of fall. One beer that is perfect
for the colder evenings of the
beginning of fall is Birra
Moretti.
While
pouring
it, you will first smell the
strong malt flavor and hear
the slight hiss of carbonation.
The beer is a rich straw color,
and is best served between
41-45 degrees. The bottle is
dark brown with a picture of
a mustached man, holding a
large beer stein. The man on
the label's eyes are downcast,
he looks tired andpresumably
somewhat inebriated. This
picture accurately describes
the experience of drinking
Birra Moretti—a quiet and
calming experience. Much like
the fall semester, the beer is heavy

enough to drink leisurely. This is
not a beer for a night out on the
town; rather it is best for quiet
evenings after a hard day's work
or study.
First produced in 1859
in the city of Udine, in the Friuli
region of Italy, Birra Moretti is
a 4.6% alcoholic lager with a
smell and taste reminiscent of
some Austrian beers. The beer
is now brewed and bottled by
Heineken Italia in Comun
Nuovo, Italy and imported
by Star Brand Imports.
While it is not widely
available, Birra Moretti is
mostly found at specialty
beer dealers and fortunately in some Italian restaurants. While it stands
alone well, the beer is best
served with the warm and
hearty pasta dishes of its
home country Italy.
While not for those
with delicate palates,
Birra Moretti can provide

evenings of the fall semester, remind you of the bitterness of being back in

L ady i n t he Water c omes u p d ry
BY DAVID GATLEY
Editor in Chief
I really like most of M. Night
Shamalan's work.
However,
"Lady In the Water" did not
follow suit. Much like most of his
films, "Lady in the Water" was
marketed as a suspenseful thriller
and much like the others, was anything but. Films like "Unbreakable" and "The Village" miss the
thriller mark but cover the gap
with depth of story and wonderful
visuals within the film; making
the films enjoyable on at least
one level. "Lady in the Water"
is about as deep as the children's
pool, the visuals are mediocre at
best and the plot is, well imagine turning the popular nursery
rhyme "Jack and Jill went up the
hill to fetch a pail of water" into a
2 hour long movie and you can get
a good idea of what to expect. Of
course Paul Giamatti and Bryce
Dallas Howard turn in stellar performances but it is altogether too
little too late. In case you didn't
see the movie already, don't even
bother renting it. If you were part
of the unlucky few who did see
the movie, my sympathies.

Superman to the screen over the clumsy and awkward than forthright. Maybe in the next movie,
summer; one I did not like.
"Superman Returns" sought he can play Clark, and someone
out a younger actor to portray else can play the man of steel.
Then there was Kate Bosworth,
the triple identities of Clark Kent,
Superman, and Kalel (the last son I'm not sure what character she
was suppose to be, because that
of Krypton).
In the movie, Superman returns was not hard hitting reporter
from a five year absence. He left Louis Lane. Louis Lane is fearEarth to look for any signs of his
home world, Krypton. He returns
with little or no explanation of his
journey or what he found. This
would have been more interesting than spending hours pining
after Louis.
When he returns, he finds that
life goes on without him, and this
upsets him. Louis has a boyfriend
and a son. The world didn't blow
up, and crime didn't sky rocket
out of control.
So, our superhero uses his >
superpowers to hover outside of
the home of Louis Lane and spies
on her with his super peepers and
her triple personality superhero.
I can only suggest replacing her
altogether for the now dubious
sequel.
My personal favorite character, Lex Luthor, was well played
by Kevin Spacey. He was charismatic when needed, and plotted
evil well. I only wish they gave
him some new plan do plot rather
than land deals, just as in the first
Superman.
Overall, the movie had some
really good action, but most of
that was in the trailers. The love
story between Louis and Clark
seemed to dominate the entire
movie. It's really upsetting that I
enjoyed movies like "The Incredibles" or even "Sky High" more
than "Superman Returns". Bryan
Singer should go back to "Xmen" and give the next Superman to Christopher Nolan.
