On Monday, January 22, members of the San Marcos chapter of the California Faculty Association took part in informational picketing to educate the campus on the lack of negotiations and adequate pay raises that the CSU Board of Trustees and the Chancellor's office Photo courtesy of Campus Police Photo by Kelly Corrigan/The Pride Dr. Janet McDaniel, Professor of Education during last Monday's informational picketing. Just last year, CSUSM was hailed the Grand Champion of Recycling i n-the Recyclemania competition that has become even more popular among colleges and universities across the nation. And now, from January 28 to April 7, we are taking part in the competition once again. But this year, there's new have forced upon the faculty of the CSU system. In their effort to educate the students and the community, CSUSM professors held signs and chanted in favor of a fair Contract. Two days later, the CSU Board of Trustees gave a 4% pay raise to all CSU presidents and several top administrators, the result of what had been in the workings since July. In spite of Monday's informational picketing and November's rally when 1,000 professors and 500 students chanted in front of the Chancellor's office in Long Beach, the executives received a pay raise from the CSU Board of Trustees which would put some of them up to earning $377,000 annually. In all their efforts for gaining a fair contract and a halt in student tuition raises, this recent pay raise adds another wrinkle to the complexity of what has become a salient issue of misplaced priorities. Janet Powell, CFA President of the San Marcos chapter, said, "The CFA was not surprised by recent events of the CSU Board of Trustee's decision to raise top administrator's salaries or the Governor's Budget which will likely raise student tuition by another 10%. It is because of this' type of disregard for faculty and See RECYCLEMANIA, page 3 See CFA, page 2 BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer See CCC, page 3 CSU board of trustees g ives pay raise to top executives; profesors look to strike as only option BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Cross cultural center moves; welcomes all students The Cross Cultural Center, formerly known as the Multicultural Center, has moved from Craven IJall 4110 to Craven Hall 3400, just down the hall from the new Cougar Central. Its office hours are Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., and Fridays 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. "The Cross Cultural Center has a great environment," says senior Randy Saldivar, a Kinesiology major, "very diverse and alive, it is a great place to meet new people." The Cross Cultural Center, or C3, is not only a wonderful place to hang out, but it also provides programs that strive to affirm the diversity of the campus community. The C3 has a couple of events planned for February, and more in the works for the upcoming months. Diana Wong, administrative peer educator at the C3, explains, "(A) program we are starting every third Thursday of the month is 'Dinner Dialogues.'

We are concerned about the future of the CSU, our salary negotiation [is] one symptom of a much larger issue." Dr. Powell added,. "We are not against raises for anyone; all employees of the CSU are underpaid. We are just discouraged that the Board of Trustees have chosen to favor top administrators by giving significant raises to them while at the same time walking away from the faculty bargaining table." CFA Secretary, Professor Lance Newman took part in Monday's informational picketing as well. Professor Newman said, "I'm angry about the misplaced priorities of the administration, but I am hopeful that determined activism, like the possible twoday strikes, will show the depth of faculty unity and seriousness and will help convince the administration to think again." On February 6, the CFA will hold an informational meeting for all faculty in order to make the decision to strike as they take all the variables of the strike into consideration. The CFA has made it clear that the last thing they want to do is to disrupt students' studies and academic performance although it is possible that classes could be cancelled on the two day rolling strikes. Dr. Powell said, "At this point, the CFA believes that the Chancellor's Office and the Board of J Tfúste&'s* are Very4 rriuéh out óf touch with the needs of those who are at the heart of the CSU, the students, staff, and faculty. They did not get the message at our protest in November and they seem to not be getting it by our picketing now. Striking seems to us to be the only option." Professor Newman and Dr. Powell agreed that students can do their university a favor and let their voice be heard by writing letters and speaking out against the mismanagement of faculty, students and staff. Professor Newman said, "What we need most right now is a unified message from all parts of the university community—students, faculty, and staff—that says, 'It's time to rebuild our school. The CSU is the future of California, but for too many years, we've seen rising fees, stagnating salaries, and shrinking budgets.'" Dr. Powell believes that students should be involved when it comes to issues that affect them and those around them such as siblings and children. "Letter writing to the Chancellor's Office, the CSU Board of Trustee's, legislators, and the Governor are efforts all students should participate in on a regular basis. I hope that students will do whatever they think is best for themselves and future students and encourage them to research these issues and come to their own conclusions." Dr. Powell adddd, "The CSU has long been considered the 'people's university'. The promise of an accessible education is disappearing as more students will not be able to attend college due to high tuition and the university will i ot W able to recruit or retain quality professors, staff, and administrators."

Those who earn the PreDoctoral scholarship earn a free summer internship at the institution of their choice. According to Lisa Bandong, the Campus Program Coordinator, "The California Pre-Doctoral Scholarship and Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program are two scholarship programs from the Office of the Chancellor of the California State University. Both programs require CSU faculty sponsorship, and that is why our campus administers them through the Faculty Center. The funds from both of these programs come from the California State Lottery." Bandong is the go-to person when students begin the process of recieving a scholarship. She will meet with the students oneon-one to discuss their "goals, the application and selection process, and most importantly, the faculty sponsorship." The two scholarships have different requirements but both need a faulty sponsor. It's a good thing to have a relationship with the sponsor for the faculty who know the student can better support students and help students with t heij goals. Bandong's advice is for "students working consciously on building relationships with their profes- sors in all of their courses. Students should learn as much as they can about their professors' experiences and talk with their professors about their goals and plans." "The Pre-Doc is designed to increase the diversity of the pool of potential university faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of individuals who are CSU juniors, seniors or graduate students that are economically and educationally disadvantaged" said Bandong. "The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program seeks to provide loans to doctoral students who are interested in applying and competing for CSU instructional faculty positions after completion of the doctoral degree." The Chancellor's Doctoral has a forgivable loan for students who return to teach at a CSU campus, and once they begin teaching, 20% of the loan is forgiven with every year of service. Though the scholarship does not guarantee employment to any of the CSU's, it definitely helps decrease money owed if students decide to work in the CSU system.

The Campœ Policetìps line ext is 8 477, : ' : Bartleby.com is a literature haven that combines a hybrid selection of classic and modern literature ready for reference. The website offers—for free—a huge resource of everything from English usage guides to quick reference of famous quotations, encyclopedias, dictionaries, a thesaurus, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction literature. For students this means easy access to a lot of information. Some of the information offered is otherwise expensive and/or hard to find. Bartleby comes in handy for little things like figuring out: "who was it that said that one famous quote, anyway?" As Gertrude Stein says, "Writing and reading is to me synonymous with existing," and this is just one example of the thousands of famous quotes that can be easily found on Bartleby. With the 2,500 word writing requirement per course at CSUSM, sooner than later most CSUSM students can and should utilize these references. With Bartleby students can quickly have access to key pointers in the correct usage for the sometimes confusing words like "affect" and "effect," or "accept" and "except." Additionally, the expansive encyclopedias can be extremely helpful. The website also contains full texts of anthologies and volumes of classic literature, including Charles Dickens, Aesops Fables, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and offers access to the poetry of Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, John Keats, William Shakespeare, and Oscar Wilde, to name a few. The verse, fiction and non-fiction collections offered by the website are unique indeed. If one happens to be "falling, upon the thorns of life," in the name of Shelley, searching for Poe or Dickinson, or just need some guidance with "Beowulf," Bartleby has the easy button readily available for students and professors alike. In 1993, Bartelby.com offered their viewers the -first publication of its kind, an electronic version of Walt Whitman's, "Leaves of Grass." The New York based website boasts 370,000 web pages, 10,000 poems, and an elaborate collection of quotations at over 86,000, which is the largest collection available to date. Also offered are the latest versions of the "Columbia Encyclo- pedia" and "The American Heritage Dictionary." According to the website, Steven H. van Leeuwen, the President, Chairman and Founder of Bartleby started it as a research experiment concerning electronic publishing, but the experiment quickly developed into the vast accessible resource that it is today. When a viewer feels that he or she is ready to purchase a favorite selection for one's private collection, Bartleby also offers books for sale in connection with Amazon.com. Bartleby and Amazon forge the common goal to accelerate the wide availability of literature.

In the near future you will not be able to access most of the websites you visit daily, unless these websites pay a premium to Internet Service providers, such as AT&T, Time-Warner and Comcast. Your high speed internet will not apply to any site you go to, but only those chosen by your Cable Company or Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is not a warning, this is already happening, and the Internet needs our help. If you are not yet familiar with the term "Net-Neutrality" this is nothing new; bloggers, active citizens, websites, and activists have been trying to bring attention to the topic for years. According to www.savetheinternet.com "When we log onto the Internet, we take lots of things for granted. We assume that we'll be able to access whatever website we want, whenever we want to go there. We assume that we can use any feature we like; watching videos online, listening to podcasts, searching for information, emailing, and instant messaging, anytime we choose. We also assume that we can attach devices like wireless routers, game controllers, or extra hard drives to make our online experience better. What makes all these assumptions possible is ,TNetwork Neutrality," the guiding principle that ensures the Internet remains free and unrestricted. Net Neutrality prevents the companies that control the wires bringing you the Internet from discriminating against content based on its ownership or source. But that could all change. The biggest cable and telephone com- panies would like to charge money for smooth access to Web sites, speed to run applications, and permission to plug in external devices. These network conglomerates believe they should be able to charge website operators, application providers, and device manufacturers for the right to use the network. Those who don't make ä deal and pay up will experience discrimination: Their sites won't load as quickly, their applications and devices won't work as well. Without legal protection, consumers could find that a network operator has blocked the website of a competitor, or slowed it down so much that it's unusable.

That may be something of a shock to, hear from a sports writer, especially one who loves football. But hear me out on this one. The game is built up for two weeks. It is talked about in the media for those 14 days as, the greatest game that will ever be played, and more times than not I have admitted to seeing better high school games. ^ The long break in between the conference championship gsmes also gives the media plenty of opportunity to beat the same stories to death. I can't tell you how many times I have heard that Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy are the first black coaches to make it to the Super Bowl. Also, how Dungy gave Smith his first job in the NFL and how they are best friends. I wish I could tell ESPN that I only need to hear these things once. I also know that Peyton Manning has yet to win the big game and that Adam Vinatieri has been the difference in three Super Bowl titles. Also, don't mention the fact that Mike Ditka coached the 1985 Bears, which won the Super Bowl. Oh, arid I do know that Rex Grossman has been sketchy this season. If I hear one iftore thing about Marvin Harrison and Manning being in sync for more touchdowns than any other duo in NFL history I may actually puke. I also know that Harrison is unlike all the other receivers in the league in that fact that he talks with his game and not his mouth, so save that as well. What may annoy me more than all the story lines being thrown at me is that everyone thinks they are an expert on who is going to win. Everyone from the casual fan to the "experts" on Sportscenter have a take on who is going to win. The following are different reasons I have heard for why each team is going to win. The Colts' offense is too good. The Bears' defense is too good. The Colts' defense isn't reliable. The Bears' offense is too inconsistent. All of that is just the build up to the game. The actual game pisses me off more than the build up. The game takes like half a day to play because there are so many media timeouts for the multimillion dollar advertisements to be played on television. By the time the game gets to halftime we have to see an hour concert from some singer who is so washed up their skin is wrinkled. I really don't want to see the symbol, Prince, perform in the middle of a football game. If I really wanted to see Prince perform I would turn the way back machine to the 1980s. Not to mention the announcers. CBS isn't as bad as FOX, but they are still ~ pretty hacky. If I hear another announcer duo trying to be a couple of stand-up comedians I might reach the point of putting the television on mute and recording my own commentary to the games. With all that said, I am still going to watch the game because of the Super Bowl pools and great food at the parties.

Pite^tMmi^ �Super Bowl XLI * Thoughts and predictions about the game W hy t he Chicago Bears will win BY MIKE MILLBURN Pride Staff Writer First, I feel compelled to mention the oh-so-small detail that I absolutely loathe the Bears. As a rabid fan of Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers, I find the fact that they are in the Super Bowl detestable. That being said, however, I believe that they will in fact handle the Colts and win their first Lombardi Trophy since the mid-1980s. The biggest factor for the Bears is the brain of quarterback Rex Grossman. While I don't doubt his arm, it is his decision making that will be the largest area of concern. He has been a proverbial Jekyll and Hyde this season; one week he'll play like Johnny Unitas, the next week he'll look like former Charger vagabond Ryan Leaf. Whether or not he keeps his head in the game will go a long way towards determining a Bears win. The Bears' backs will have a big game against a suspicious Colts run defense. While the Colts' defense has played well during the playoffs, they still give up 173 rushing yards per game. Expect the platoon of Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson to have a monster day. The receivers are not great, but they get the job done. Mushin Muhammad and Bernard Berrian are the main targets, but don't discount backups Rashied Davis and Mark Bradley. They are more than capable of catching the deep ball and burning the Colts' defensive secondary. While the Bears are definitely a run-first team, the pass game is capable of taking over a game. The Bears' offensive line is one of the best in the business, led by center Olin Kreutz and right guard Roberto Garza. The Colts' defensive line has been beaten up all season by teams with dom- W hy t he Indianapolis Colts will win inant O-lines, and it will happen again as the pocket should keep Rex Grossman upright for most of the game. Now to the bread and butter of the Bears: their vaunted defense. The team's front seven is only equaled in ferocity by the San Diego Chargers. While they will be without all-world defensive tackle Tommie Harris, this line is still dangerous, as they have combined for 31 sacks. Don't get me wrong, the Colts' offensive line is a good one (as Peyton Manning has been sacked only 14 times this season), but they have not faced a line this good all season. Manning will have nightmares about these guys in the offseason. The three linebackers could start for any team in the league, and are the heart and soul of the defense. The unquestioned leader is middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, who may be the best linebacker of the last 15 years, though Ray Lewis may argue that statement. A six-time Pro Bowler, Urlacher is joined by fellow Pro Bowler Lance Briggs, who led the team with 113 solo tackles. The strong-side backer, Hunter Hillenmeyer, is a future star in the league. The secondary has speed everywhere, starting with corners Charles Tillman and Nathan Vasher. But the most dangerous member of the secondary is rookie Devin Hester. Imagine a younger and faster Dante Hall and you'll get Hester, who can return the ball for a touchdown every time he touches it. Safety Danieal Manning is another rookie who is getting better at just the right time. While the offense does just enough to get by, the defense and special teams are far too good to ignore; they will overwhelm the Colts and win the big game 27-17 with Thomas Jones claiming the MVP. BY PAUL BAIMBRIDGE Pride Staff Writer For the first time in 36-years, the Baltimore...oops, Indianapolis Colts are back in the Super Bowl. It has been a while since their last visit back in Super Bowl V when they were the Baltiihore Colts. If you only watched the regular season you'd think I'm crazy for saying this, but their defense is a big reason why they are going to win the Super Bowl. Their No. 32 ranked run defense during the regular season was one of the worst in NFL history, giving up 173-yards per game and even gave up 375-yards to the Jacksonville Jaguars on December 10. That defense isn't the same defense that is now in the Super Bowl. Of the three playoff games, their defense has given up 32-yards to Larry Johnson, 53 to Jamal Lewis and 93 to the plethora of runners New England trots out. The Colts defense is stingy and they just stopped three of the top eight offenses the AFC has to offer. Now from the Colts' defense to the opponent's defense. New England's defense is known throughout the NFL as being very confusing, showing different looks in order to confuse the quarterback and making it difficult to read the coverage. New England's defense was ranked No. 6 during the season, right behind Chicago, which was ranked No. 5. The Patriots gave up a total of 14.8 ppg, second only to the Ravens, a team the Colts literally kicked to death 15-6, which gave up 12.6 ppg. Chicago's defense shouldn't be too hard, since the Colts figured a way around New England and Baltimore. How about Rex? Rex Grossman has been in the league since 2003 but has been riddled with injuries until this year. David Church Colts 25, Bears 24 MVP; Adam Vinatieri 4-4 FG's Joshua Sandoval Bears 34, Colts 30 MVP; Rex Grossman 24-30 3 T Ds 290 yards p He is an up and coming QB in this league, but his talent is still raw. The Super Bowl is just too big for an inexperienced and inconsistent QB like Grossman to come in and beat a guy like Peyton Manning when it matters most. Manning finally beat the Patriots; every single time the media dubs it the Colts' year the Patriots have been there to give them the boot. It happened in the AFC Championship game in 2003 and in the Divisional round in 2004. If Manning wanted to get to, and win, the Super Bowl he was going to have to go through the Patriots. Manning has beaten the Patriots, is now in the big game and is ready for this moment. There is a resiliency about the Colts this year that I have never seen in previa ous years. Every time the Colts lose in the playoffs they always lose without putting up a fight. We've seen them win big in the playoffs, but wow do they lose horribly; 20-3 to the Patriots in 2004, 24-14 to the Patriots in 2003 and 41-0 to the Jets in 2002. The Colts seem like they actually want it and you can see it in the way they play. When it was 21-6 at the half against the Patriots in the AFC championship the Colts were never out of it. Manning hurt his finger on his throwing hand during the gam£ and almost came out of the game. What did Manning and the Colts do? The defense held, Manning stayed in the game and led them on the eventual winning drive. With emotional leaders like Manning on offense and Bob Sanders on defense, the Colts are primed to win 34-24 with Manning going 20-of34 for 379 yards and 3 TD, while claiming the MVP. ^ ' ^ h ^ f ^ ^ a r ó Esperti Colts 31, Bears 21 MVP: Marvin; Harrison 8 Catphes 138 yards £ f D's m m..,.11 . - -; ^ iF February 4, 200? will brins Will have thirtf straight big game l<r WÊÊÊKKÊÊÊÊÊKÊÊÊJËmm ¡ ¡¡ili i iL g ¡¡ . your party go with m äsä t owatdui?

With a group of mainly freshman, sprinkled with some veteran experience, Coach Dennis Pugh leads the Cougars into their first year of play. lt won't be instant success with this bunch but the near future is bright. Coach Pugh is a San Diego area coaching legend and his track record speaks for itself. As coach at Mission Bay high school, his teams won 18 league titles and 8 CIF championships. When asked about the acquisition of Coach Pugh, Athletic Director Dr. Stephen Nichols said, "We are really, really lucky. Pugh's name carries weight". Nichols even went as far to say that he did "cartwheels" in his office because he immediately recognized the potential for the program to compete. Nichols, who attended Long Beach State and Ohio State, understands the impor- edge that there are some expectations in tance of having major sports such as base- this first year. ball at CSUSM.

San Marcos Blvd, a couple miles from campus. The next home game is Friday February 2 at 2p.m. If you like offense, this team should be very entertaining to watch. When asked if he had any comments to the student body, Coach Pugh said, "Come on out. We're here for the students. They voted for this program and we appreciate that." that. "We're basically two-deep at every position," explains Milo. "The friendly competition for playing time is helping push the players." The squad's excellent pitching staff will be throwing to catchers Tasha Stokes and Lindsey Preovolos. While both are very talented in their own right, Coach Milo expects them to split time throughout the season, due to the physical demands of playing the position. They're also solid at the plate - Stokes has "tremendous" power, according to Milo, and the potential to be an All-American. In fact, both players will likely be in the lineup at the same time, with the one that's not catching playing first base. Sophomore Aly Brown will be in the rotation there as well. At second base, Milo believes she has a good mix of players who are all solid defensively. Freshman Malarie Barnard will definitely see a lot of action there, and Erica Coelho figures to play second when she's not pitching. Filling the key position of shortstop will be Holly Russell and Samantha Valenzuela. Russell, a Mission Hills High grad, is one of the team's most experienced players. She's expected to bat in the middle of the lineup due to her excellent hitting potential and power. Freshman Amanda Sanchez is expected to play third. She has very good reaction time - a crucial trait to playing the hot corner. Melissa Lerno, whose .353 batting average at Palomar was overshadowed by her pitching, will also see time at third when she's not on the mound. Coach Milo expects the outfield to be the strength of the team's defense. "As whole, they're very quick and cover a lot of ground," she says. "All our outfielders could play any position in the outfield." Leading the group is centerfielder Danielle Tucker. Lake Elsinore High's 2006 Female Athlete of the Year, Tucker's commitment this fall to giving 110% effort at all times earned her co-captain status on the Cougar softball team. Her blazing speed serves her well both in the field and at the plate, where the slap-hitter is expected to bat leadoff for the team. Joining Tucker as a co-captain is leftfielder Leilani Madrigal. As the only junior on the team's freshman-heavy roster, Madrigal provides leadership and experience to the group. She also provides a great bat - a .535 average at Los Angeles Valley College. She'll likely hit second and share time in the outfield with Clairemont High grad Lauren Turner. Finally, right field is expected to be anchored by Elizabeth Bush and Joy Leon. Leon was Fallbrook High's Most Valuable. Offensive Player last year, and is moving to the outfield from first base. Bush, also a freshman, will see time in centerfield as well as right. Though the Cougars' inaugural team brings plenty of talent to the table, making the playoffs will be a challenge. CSUSM competes in the very difficult Region II of the NAIA, and will face all the powerhouse schools from the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC). According to Coach Milo, the biggest key to succeeding will be for players to step into leadership roles and carry the team through its tightly-packed 50-game schedule. The team will also need support from the Cougar community, and all fans are encouraged to head out to Mission Hills High to catch some great softball action. The squad will lead off its season on Saturday, February 10th in a home double-header against Vanguard University starting at noon. Admission is always free, so come out and support your CSUSM softball team throughout its first season! �Cou Words Courtesy of The Pride Across 1.

I'll tell you what you get, Hop Scotch, you get one heck of a funny movie. It's hard to believe that the screenplay for "Night at the Museum" was written by two men who also gave us "Reno 911!" but Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, along with director Shawn Levy, have turned out a truly great family film - so great, in fact, that I've seen it twice ~ once with friends and once with family. I will add a word of caution for people with very young or very sensitive children: there are a couple of scenes that could get pretty intense, especially for children who are afraid of mummies, dinosaurs, or skeletons. These scenes and some crude humor are what earn the movie its PG rating. In "Night at the Museum," Ben Stiller stars as Larry, a divorced father who has a new get-rich^ quick scheme every month. Worried about disappointing his son yet again, Larry takes a job as the new night guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, and Bill Cobbs play the guards who trick Larry into taking over their jobs. Larry quickly learns that, thanks to a magic Egyptian tablet, all of the museum's exhibits come alive between sunset and sunrise. Larry's job is to keep the exhibits from escaping without destroying the museum or getting himself killed in the process. This is no small task since the museum's exhibitions read like a list of History's Most Wanted, from Neanderthals to Mongols. Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan give him particular trouble as a cowboy and a Roman general who answer the question, "What would happen if Roman expansion ever came up against Manifest Destiny?" Robin Williams rounds out the stars as the wise, if a bit nutty, Teddy Roosevelt, who alternately cajoles and coerces Larry into responsibility and heroism. With such an amazing cast, it's hard to imagine how "Night at the Museum" could have gone wrong. Ben Stiller gives a good performance, and Dick Van Dyke will always be one of my favorite actors. It's well worth sticking around through the credits to see their outtakes. However, Mickey Rooney steals the show as an octogenarian with a short man's complex who likes to pick fights with epithets Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox like "lunch box," "applesauce," and "butterscotch." In addition to the major stars, "Night at the Museum" has a talented supporting cast. Ricky Gervais, from the British "The Office," is brilliant as the museum director. Carla Gugino plays a sweet, strong, and intelligent love interest for Larry, and Brad Garrett voices a comically belligerent Easter Island head. The exceptional acting and exciting story all but hide the film's few "What the heck?" and "Hey wait a minute!" moments. One particularly confusing scene shows a shadowy figure sneaking into a dark room and doesn't seem to have made any sense to anyone I talked to. I was also left with some serious doubts about the credentials of the curators at this fictional museum. Since when does a natural history museum have exhibits about Columbus, Mongols, Aztecs, and the Civil War? Since when does an ostrich belong in an exhibit on African mammals? Also, why do the ancient Romans speak English, while Columbus speaks Italian and Genghis Khan speaks gibberish? Ultimately, however, I think these are all fun questions to debate with friends which add to the movie's humor rather than take away from its appeal.
