listened to Cathy Nguyen from the Women's Center, as well as an informed doctor
and nurse practitioner about the safest and
most effective ways to self-exam for breast

valuable tools available in one
place, Pick-A-Prof has become
a one-stop academic shop for
students. Not everyone is happy
with this service, however. Some
professors worry that students
will only focus on professors who
give the most A's."
With registration deadlines for
the spring semester approaching in November, some CSUSM
students may find pickaprof.com
a valuable asset in obtaining any
information, regarding specific
professors or courses that might
be of interest. When asked about
using the website, senior Brittany
Smith says, "It's good in a way
because students find out about
horrible teachers who don't teach.
But it's bad in a way because
students choose easier teachers
[and] then slip and slide through
the system. It's not a level playing
field, but when is it ever a level
playing field?"
Pickaprof.com also has a new
service available on their website. Now, students who access
the website can see what classes'
friends and peers are taking by
clicking on the title of a particu-
lar course. Upon clicking on a
particular course, pictures of the
friends and peers enrolled will
appear on the screen. Generally,
the majority of courses offered at
most universities are posted on
the website.
The founder of pickaprof.com
says, "We find that students are
underestimated and are using the
grades as a way to gauge how to
prepare for the class. In general,
students are at [a] university for
an education and are looking for
the professors they'll learn the
best from."

�Domestic violence discussion
to be held Wednesday
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Lori Walsh, a representative from
the Center of Community Solutions
in Escondido will present an open
discussion to CSUSM students on
domestic violence on Wednesday.
Scheduled to take place during
University Hour in Academic Hall,
Room 111, the discussion is open to
all students and a free lunch will be
available to those who attend.
The purpose for the domestic violence forum is to heighten alertness
about the impact violence cañ have
in everyone's lives, not just in women's lives. Morgan Hoodenpyle, Programming and Events Coordinator
for ASI's Women Center and coordinator of the forum says, "People
don't realize how hard it can be for
[victims]—who are in a situation of
domestic violence—to speak out.
There are so many factors that can
tie a person down into a violent situation, like financial restrictions,
children, and prior history. Abusers
can also isolate a victim, by gaining
control of the victim's life and cut
them off from other people."
The intention of the discussion
is to inform people about the psychological, emotional, and financial
barriers that can handicap the victims of domestic violence. Another
important point to keep in mind too,
is that domestic violence doesn't
always translate into physical abuse
that results in bruises, cuts, or
other visible ramifications. Stalking, harassment, emotional abuse,

Thursday around 8:30 a.m., the
UABC students will enter campus
just in time to attend scheduled 9:00
a.m. classes. Each UABC student
will have the opportunity to select
and attend a lecture after having
chosen from an array of courses
currently in session. Professors who
teach classes from 9:00 to 10:15
a.m. and from 10:30 to 11:45 were
asked by administrative personnel
and UABC correspondents if they
had available seats and would be
willing to have visiting students in

the odds of getting testicular cancer
are about 1/300, and the survival rate
after treatment is currently at 96%,
states the ACS.
According to the National Cancer
Association, men are not only at risk
for testicular cancer, but as most
people aren't aware, men can also
be at risk for breast cancer. Women,
however, are largely at a much higher
risk for breast cancer; 211,000 women
were diagnosed with breast cancer
last year, and over 43,000 women
died from breast cancer last year as
well. Comparatively, roughly 1,600
men were diagnosed with breast
cancer in the U.S. in 2005, and 400
of those diagnosed lost their lives to
it.
Breast cancer is the most common
form of cancer found in women and
currently makes up 1/3 of the cancers diagnosed in U.S. women. In
contrast, whereas testicular cancer
is more common in younger men,
giving UABC students a wide
variety of classes to choose from.
Nearly 15 CSUSM students have
already signed up to join the UABC
students throughout the day's events
that include classes, lunch, and community service. There are currently
five more spaces open for CSUSM
students to volunteer to work alongside the UABC students.
Along with participating students,
President Haynes, Dr. Peter Zwick
(Director of University Global
Affairs), and Dr. Vivienne Bennett
(Interim Director of the Center for
Border and Regional Affairs) will
welcome UABC students as they
join for lunch in front of Kellogg
Library during University Hour.
After lunch, UABC students and
the risk for breast cancer in women
increases with age. The NCA
declares that one in eight women
will be affected by breast cancer in
their lifetime. On the NCA website*
ages and corresponding percentages
of breast cancer incidence within the
subsequent ten years of a woman's
life are listed. For example, a woman
who is 20 years old has a 1/1,985
chance; a 30-year-old woman has a
1/229 chance; a 40-year-old woman
has a 1/68 chance; a 50-year-old
woman has a 1/37 chance; a 60 year
old woman has a 1/26 chance; and
a 70-year-old woman has a 1/24
chance.
Hoodenpyle later added, "For both
breast and testicular cancer selfexaminations, there are easy steps
and easy things everyone can do to
help protect themselves, empower
themselves and empower others by
making information and knowledge
available."

and intimidation are also forms of
domestic violence. "Around the
world, at least one in every three
women has been beaten, coerced
into sex or otherwise abused during
her lifetime," is the statistic printed
on the flyer for .the domestic violence discussion. "It's a global statistic," Hoodenpyle explains, "and
when you think about it, what does
that say about our own cultural and
global perspective of women? What
does it mean? How do we -address
it? Where do we start to get national
efforts to combat violence? Those
are all things we hope to address."

Through the kind efforts offered by
UABC and CSUSM students, our

adds. Yesterday during University Hour, LGBTA presented the

which aimed to inform students
of what an "ally" is and what an
"ally" is not. Franklin says that

than learning what an ally is,
[students are] challenged to

"Joining the LGBTA is easy,"
Franklin says. "Coming to a

the first steps. How involved

Mastering Graduate school admission
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
Graduate school sounds intimidating.. .a
complicated form of higher education with
the goal of a Masters Degree or Doctorate;
full of theses, GRE scores, and various
classifications of students. However, in
sifting through the m&ss of information on
CSUSM's website, prospective graduate
students will be able to successfully navigate this demanding course of education.
This upper echelon of education is only
available to those who have completed a
four-year education and received an appropriate Bachelor's Degree. Prospective students must also have a grade point average of at least 2.5 and be in good academic
standing with the last university they
attended. Some programs require GRE
scores. The GRE could be considered
the SAT for graduating college students,
if you will. The requirements are in the
student's best interest, ensuring that they
are prepared for the rigors of a graduate
program.
Students who are admitted to CSUSM's
graduate program would be placed in one
of four different graduate student classifications. Graduate Classified students
are those who have met all requirements.
A student who has not met all requirements may still be admitted as a Graduate Conditionally Accepted. Those seeking to enroll in a credential or certificate
program would be admitted as a Post-baccalaureate Classified student. Individuals
who wish to take classes few professional

Blood Sugar Control May
Be Just a Breath Away
Do you have episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)?
This study will evaluate an investigational formulation
of insulin taken by inhalation at mealtime to see if it can
provide blood sugar control comparable to rapid-acting
insulin injection (both in combination with long-acting
insulin) in people with type 1 diabetes. Using rapid-acting
insulin in your regimen helps more closely mimic the
metabolism of people without diabetes and may reduce the
risk of a dangerous hypoglycemic episode.
If you qualify for this two-year research study, you will

at no cost, and may be compensated for time and travel.
You will also get a glucose monitor and all diabetes

able to break 80 during the two
rounds of competition.
Men's Soccer Posts Convincing 6-0 Win Over La Sierra;
Defense Back on Track
Mike Nuovo's two goals propelled the Cougar men's soccer
team (11-3) to a convincing 6-0
win at La Sierra University on
Wednesday. Earlier this month,
CSUSM defeated La Sierra by a
score of 4-0.
Almost as important than the
win itself was the fact that the
squad's defense regained its
form. In its first eleven games,
the Cougars limited opponents to
just seven goals. But in a weekend road trip against U.C. Santa
Cruz and Menlo, the defense faltered, allowing seven goals in
just the two games.
Wednesday's match was the
first since those games, and the
defense bounced back better than
ever, as did keeper Trent Painter.
The offense was awfully good
too, with forwards Curtis Marcikic and Mike Nuovo playing
dynamic games. The Cougars
controlled every phase of the
match, out-shooting La Sierra
Carly Ludwig led the squad
in both rounds, shooting 83 on
Monday followed by an 81 on
Tuesday. Jennell French followed up a first-round 88 with an
82, good for second on the Cougars and 105th overall. Behind
her were Danielle Pearce (8487), Adriana Bowman (85-86),
and EllyseSiu (91-86).

The University of Denver,
whose squad posted an impressive two-day team score of 582,
won the event. BYU finished
seven shots back for second,
and U.C. Irvine took third with
a score of 596. CSUSM's final
score was 675.
Women's Soccer able to hold onto
lead, defeating La Sierra 3-2
rim. Crouse was able to tuck his
shot into the bottom corner of
the net.
At the 43-minute mark,
CSUSM would push its lead to
5-0. Miguel Jacobo hit a cross
that found Brandon Zuniga, who
made a nifty redirection towards
the goal. The keeper would make
the save, but Daniel Vasquez was
there to clean up the rebound.
The scoring was capped off in
the 70th minute when Bradley
Seidenglanz collected a loose ball,
made a run through the defense,
and beat the keeper. The 7-0 final
score matches the squad's biggest
margin of victory, which came in
the September 7th win over San
Diego Christian College.
Next up for the Cougars is a
home game against Chapman
University on Friday, October
20. All fans are welcome to head
down to Mangrum Field to cheer
on their Cougars in the last home
match of their inaugural season!
Kickoff is at 4:00 p.m., with the
women's team playing at 2:00
p.m.
by a staggering total of 29-3, and
earning ten corner kicks to their
opponent's zero.
The Cougar scoring came
early and often. Off the opening
kickoff, Curtis Marcikic split the
defense for a one-on-one with the
keeper, but was unable to convert.
At the one-minute mark, Miguel
Jacobo penetrated the defense,
and struck a cross in front of the
goal. A La Sierra defender tried
to head it aside, but redirected it
into his net for an own goal.
But the Cougars wouldn't need
that kind of luck on Wednesday.
In the 11th minute, Curtis Marcikic slid a pass to Mike Nuovo
behind the defense, and Nuovo
was able to slip it under the keeper.
Just two minutes later, the same
duo teamed up for another goal,
with Marcikic once again finding
Nuovo behind the defense.
Three minutes after that, the
Cougars earned a free kick in La
Sierra territory. Chris Wyatt surprised his opponents by taking
the kick quickly, and finding
defender Ben Crouse making a

Women's Soccer Able to Hold
Onto Lead, Defeats La Sierra 32
Reversing what has become
a painful trend over the last
month, the CSUSM women's
soccer team (4-8-1) was able to
successfully close out L a Sierra
on Wednesday, edging out a 32 victory. The win snaps a twogame losing streak.
It was the Cougars' second victory over La Sierra this season,
both of which have come by 3-2
scores. On the season, CSUSM
has struggled in one-goal games,
losing five of six of such matches
before Wednesday.
But the team has persevered,
and is finally being rewarded for
its hard work and effort. At La
Sierra, the Cougars came out on
fire, getting on the scoreboard in
the second minute. Miquella Martinez, who played a terrific game
overall, crossed a ball to Randi
Leyva. Leyva was able to strike
the ball out of mid-air, knocking it
into the lower-right corner.
With a 1-0 lead, the squad
went into a bit of a lull, and La
Sierra capitalized. They equalized the score in the 22nd minute
when Shelley Bun hit a corner
kick to Starlena Murray, and
Murray was able to finish. The
1-1 score would hold up through
halftime.
After halftime, the Cougars
would regain the spirit they had
early in the game. In the 64th
'minute, Miquella Martinez once
again set up a teammate, this
time Kelly Wherry. Martinez
played a ball across the top of
the box, Wherry controlled it,
and drove it into the upper right
corner of the net.
Seven minutes later, the Cougars pushed the lead to 3-1.
Clarissa Hidalgo made one of
her trademark rims through the
defense, and was able to beat the
keeper with a strong finish.
Though the squad was able to
hold on for the win, it would not
come as easily as Coach Ron Pulvers would have liked. With one
minute left, Shelley Bun brought
La Sierra back within one, and
the possibility of another lategame disappointment was suddenly evident. However, CSUSM
was able to hang on, winning the
game 3-2 for their fourth win of
the season.
In what was an all-around
strong effort, both the back and
front lines had strong games.
The Cougars will try to keep
the momentum going when they
face off against Chapman University on Friday. The game will
be played at Mangrum Field at
2:00 p.m., so come on out and
support your Cougars!

Men's Cross Country takes 2nd, women place
4th at Fullerton; Mejia breezes to another win
Men's Cross Country Takes
2nd, Women 4th at Fullerton;
Mejia Breezes to Another Win
At the Fullerton Invite on Friday,
the CSUSM men's and women's
cross-country teams looked sharp,
finishing 2nd and 4th, respectively.
Cougar Juan Mejia won the men's
event easily, while Bonghabih
Shey led the women's squad with
a 9th place finish.
The event marks Mejia's second
consecutive win. Last week at Vanguard, he crossed the tape 48 seconds before the any other runner in
thefield.This time around, Mejia
had 33 seconds to catch his breath
before the second place finisher
arrived. Mejia's 25:49 is in line
with his times at other events this
year, and his potential at regionals
and nationals is off-the-charts.
Mejia wasn't the only Cougar
who looked great in the team's
final tune-up before Nationals. With the squad's usual #2
runner Phil Hoffman, finishing
31st, sophomore Mike Crouch
picked up the slack in a big way.
His time of 26:25 was good for
fourth-place, and a mere 3 seconds behind second.
Crouch was one of eleven runners whofinishedwithin 33 seconds of second-place - making
Mejia's margin of victory all the
more impressive.
On the women's side, Bonghabih Shey continued her string
of strong finishes, taking 9th
place with a time of 18:39. It
was the second time that Shey,
already an accomplished track
athlete, led the cross-country
team this fall.
Whitney Patton, who has
led the squad in the events
Shey hasn't, took 18th. Olympia Olguin backed up a strong
19th-place finish at Vanguard
by taking 27th on Friday. She's
been a pleasant surprise this year
for Coach Steve Scott, and has
improved tremendously since
last year.
Overall, the Cougar women
finished with a time of 1:35:05,
good for fourth place. Cal Coast
TC won the women's 5k event by
running 1;30:45, and UC Santa
Barbara finished second. Santa
Barbara won the men's 8k event
with a total time of 2:13:36, 36
seconds better than the secondplace Cougars. CSUSM results
are below, with the runners'
places calculated for team-scoring purposes (meaning they don't
include independent runners).

played on two of the seven days
Take the Tommy Lasorda cam-
paign that has been running on
television during the playoffs.
MLB has put all of their advertising money for the playoffs into
the lap of an 80-year-old white
guy. The only people who, know
Lasorda are die-hard baseball
fans, and MLB already has that
person coming to the ballpark. If
MLB wants to regain any popularity that it once had, it needs to
use its money on someone that
can appeal to the casual fan, the
fan that is younger than 80 years
old.
The NBA is misguided as well,
but at least they're trying. If you
haven't noticed, the NBA is a
game that is dominated by African-Americans, with a few good
white guys thrown into the mix.
It is no secret that Hip-Hop (not
the music, but the lifestyle) is
synonymous with the NBA. So,
my question concerns why David
Stern, the NBA commissioner, is
trying to change the sport.
Look at what Stern is doing
with all of these rule changes.
Last season he instituted a
dress code. He said that dress
clothes had to be worn immediately before and after games. As
soon as an NBA player enters an
arena, he has to suit up. Before
this rule, players showed up at
press conferences wearing the
types of clothing brands that
NBA fans wear; "Rocawear,"
"Ecko," "Sean John,'' etc. Basically, types of clothing that is
associated with "minority"
groups and the younger generation. Stern has always tried
to attract an older white audience, but what he doesn't seem
to understand is that they aren't
ever going to be interested in
the NBA. The only thing that
he is doing is diminishing the
largest consumer audience
around.
MLB and the NBA also need
to take a page from the NFL
on hoiw to handle disciplinary
issues. Look at what is taking
over the headlines right now in
both sports. MLB has all these
steroid problemsfloatingaround.
Someone actually has to get
caught with a needle in their arm
to actually be found guilty, and
they have to be caught like 30
times before they are kicked out
of the sport. In the NBA, Steven
Jackson and his off-court crusade
with a gun outside of a strip club
is only one of the many incidents
from an NBA player of late. I am
assuming the disciplinary action
taken by the NBA will be minuscule, if at all, against Jackson. In
the NFL, if you screw up you are
banished to Canada, like Ricky
Williams.
I guess what I am basically
saying is that I should be commissioner of the NBA and MLB.

¡Social and economical
problems, unfair
conditions for students,
stair related injuries o n
[campus» problems with
l etters
Most college students have experienced
the indignity of minimum wage jobs as
well as the barren results they produce.
Recently, the U.S. Senate rejected a proposal to raise the minimum wage that
would have%ffeSted 11% of the workforce
or about 14.9 million Americans. Many
states, including California, are raising the
minimum wage through state legislatures,
but the same old story is been played out
again in other areas. States like Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana do not even
have state minimum wage laws, leaving
the already impoverished Southern states
even further behind the curve.
While this may have a small impact as us
as Californians, it is important to America
as a nation to promote a strong workforce.
It becomes difficult for workers to insist
on their own rights and fair wages when
people in other parts of the country are not
afforded those same rights.
The emerging global markets require a
level of high education to stay on top of the
game. The only way to achieve this on a
large scale in America is to ensure that all
people at least have a basic level of comfort. Many people entering the middle class
fear that a raise in the minimum wage will
affect their wages negatively, but essential
workers will always be compensated for
the expertise that they bring to the job.
Many cities and even suburbs in America are experiencing high levels of crime
due to poverty?the only way for poverty to
be alleviated is through the rise the wages
of the workers that are at the lowest end of
the spectrum, minimum wage laborers. It
is hard to imagine conditions worsening,
but the Senate, in its vote against a minimum wage increase, has ensured that conditions will worsen for those that depend
on compensation from our nations largest
corporations.

THE PRIDE
Movie review:
"Marie
Antoinette
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Coppola could have done to develop the
characters more to the benefit of the audience. I think that if Hollywood is going to interpret a historical period of time,
and a loathed French queen at that, they could have spiced
things up a little bit. Isn't that what the money from our
tickets goes to anyways?
^
Painfiilly clocking in at 118 minutes, the action r
and plot of the story didn't even kick in until the
final 40 minutes. On a side note, all who are familiar with
the actual history and the details of Louis XVI and
Marie will find this movie rather forced in terms
of its timeline of events; and for those going in
cold (unaware of the historical facts), don't take
this movie as a depiction" of what really happened.
The film basically locks Marie and the audience up in
Versailles, trailing Antoinette around the palace, documenting her frivolity and life as a spoiled, royal socialite,
Hinting at affairs, rumors, scandals, stagnant sexuality,
and bizarre extravagance, Coppola barely scratches the
surface in her portrayal of the publicly-hated Dauphine.
With no inner transformation or conflict in Antoinette's
character that the audience is able to relate to —other than
Louis XVIs disinterest in consummating his marriage—
the film's blandness outweighs its beautiful production. I kept waiting for something to happen and
A|
nothing did: no evil villain swept in to steal

the show, there was no beheading, and no J M

French Revolution that was happening É |
just outside the palace door. All in all, ^ H ^ B H R B
the film just felt unfinished.
a^Hffi^H
Other historical biopics that I have J Ê
seen, like "Amadeus," "Malcom É •
X," "Ray," and "Kinsey," are

better examples of films that
portray the characters from a

perspective that audiences

can identify with. "Marie É Ê B ^ ^ Ê K Ê
Antoinette" just doesn't hit
JH
home for me. I felt misled
as a consumer, and when 9 É f l B | |
all was said and done, I ^ ^ H f l i
just wanted my two hours j P B M f f
and ten bucks back.
I would have much rather watched Marie Antoinette
(Kirsten Dunst) rock out to some Vivaldi instead of The
Cure and Bow Wow Wow. Don't get me wrong. I love The
Cure, just not as a musical backdrop for the French queen
gallivanting about Versailles in the late 1700s.
Directed by Sofia Coppola, "Marie Antoinette," is a
beautiful and airy inspection of the life of the young Austrian, Marie Antoinette, who is betrothed to Louis XVI in
order to bolster relations between Austria and France. The
film highlights the shortcomings that Marie Antoinette
experiences as she struggles to become accustomed to the
traditions and routines of her newly acquired position.
I'll start by saying that this movie was nothing like I
expected it to be. Going into it I anticipated this film to
be something like the 1996 remake of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. The overlay of modern music and conjk temporary attitudes towards sex, drugs, and rock 'n
I roll distracted me at too many points throughout the
I film. Detracting from the façade of elegant deserts
|F and ornate dresses, the humane Marie Antoinette
that the movie tried so hard to portray was almost lost
in Coppola's zealous ambition. Aside from the beautiit
ful period detail in costumes, hairstyles and decor,
there isn't really any substance to this film; in
% fact, as an audience member it's hard to stay
k
1 afloat in the over-processed images of an 18th
f century France.
Moreover, Jason Schwartzman who plays
Louis XVI, I feel, is greatly miscast. Even though his
character in the movie is rather aloof, as an actor he lacks
the energy and ability to bring Louis XVI to life. Not that
there was particularly any chemistry between
Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI in any
i f l H p n | k history books, but a little more chemisV^Br
try on screen—I mean it is Hollywood

we're talking about—would have kept

the audience awake long enough to watch the end

\ m j f i w i with her role. Though it doesn't require all
iW ¥
that much depth, or even that many speakI* I
ing lines aside from "Let them eat cake!" on
L
2 screen Dunst is a lack-luster teenage queen.

Overall, I felt that there was much more ^ H I H ^ R l
