Only 838 students voted for CSUSM's 2007-08 student representation. Last year, 578 students voted for ASI representatives. The process of electing ASI representatives has not changed in the past three years. Each year, voting is conducted online, one week before spring break. This year, an email was sent to each student on Wed. March 22, reminding students to vote online. Six out of twelve candidates ran unopposed. Former Student Representative at Large Conrad Ottey returned for a second term, as Vice President of Marketing. At 584 votes, Ottey collected the highest number of votes compared to the rest of the candidates.

Jay Franklin, president of CSUSM's LGBTA, headed the theatrical event on Wed. March 21 that included guest speaker Rodger D'Andreas-Wahl. Franklin explained, "The equinox, thefirstday of spring, this is a time of equal day and equal night. Full equality is all we seek." The procession included flower girl Sheena L. Medina, and two couples Josh Lovelace and Kevin Chatham, along with Diana Wong and Rhonalyn Santos. The wedding party was fancifully dressed in black tuxedos, and elegant white gowns with contrasting sneakers. The mock priest residing over the festive nuptials was Richard Perez. Onlookers cheered as the two couples approached the priest, and switched positions to represent a gay and a lesbian couple in a wedding ceremony. Perez, the representative priest, offered a serene prelude, stating, "Hooray, we are here to celebrate, to honor, to laugh, to dance, to be glad because the inevitable By the Numbers percent of enrolled students voted in the effettori/ dollars in student f ees semesterfy increase with Health Services referendum, percent of 18-24 year olds voted in the 2004 U Presidential Elections, voles for ASf President elect Caitlin Geirud, thousand dollars of student monies controlled by ASI if the Chancellor's Office presents an offer that's in line with the fact finder."

It is counterproductive to talk about strike dates and locations while the process is still continuing." On Wed. March 25, President Karen Haynes and ASI President Roy Lee held a student forum in the President's Boardroom. Some students voiced their concern to Dr. Haynes and Lee regarding the potential CFA strike. When Dr. Haynes learned that 94% of the CFA voted to go on strike, she said she was "not surprised, understanding that the faculty need to continue to advocate for what they believe is a fair compensation package." One student told Dr. Haynes that she could make a difference by looking at the CFA and CSU situation in a different way in order to find a solution to the problem. The student said, "If you look at it differently, as a student body president, do you realize that you can make a name for yourself that would be national? It's an opportunity to redefine the problem in a different way." Dr. Haynes replied by stating that there are significant constraints to the unionized environment and that the ability to provide compensation is removed. "There are eleven unions in the system," Dr. Haynes said. "[In] all of them, professional, technical, and service employees, in all of them, there are clear constraints. Administrators in a system like this are simply outside of the conversation. My excitement is going to be directed toward making this campus the best we can and not trying to change a 420,000 student and 23 campus union environment that is funded by the legislature." Dr. Haynes also mentioned how the system can change in order to avoid the current situation. Dr. Hayens said, "It starts with electing officials who are pro education." Patricia Worden, Vice President of Student Affairs, told concerned students that she would be emailing all students should CSUSM's faculty go on strike. CSUSM's homepage will continue to offer updated information on the condition of the CFA and CSU. princess, and we want the Disney marriage package. But one of my concerns is that marriage reinforces some very traditional gender and sexuality binaries that are not necessarily inclusive of all LGBTA people." Franklin also invited the audience to attend another event, "The Constitution and the Judge." Franklin handed out copies of pocket Constitutions and packs of red, white and blue seed packets, and said, "The seeds that are provided are so that you can sew the seeds of democracy in your own backyards." The event on the following day hosted Superior Court Judge David RubinfromSan Diego County. Rubin discussed marriage in relation to the constitution and cases relating to marriage.

The website allows users for MyBibPro. to quickly and easily create bibliMyBib allows users to create ographies. The website claims to bibliographies in MLA format which are alphabetized and formatted for printing. MyBibPro allows users to create bibliographies in MLA and APA formats. The online product also offers easier citation of books through a database consisting of 18 million entries, an option to upload saved database citations, access parenthetical citation and footnote support, and store multiple lists in a personal account which can be accessed from any location as well as a customer support response within 36 hours of an original inquiry. MyBib requires users to manually enter each piece of information of data to generate a bibliography in MLA format such as author and year of publication. The task can be tedious. However, the formatting done by the website ensures a perfect bibliography in MLA format. MyBibPro requires users to merely enter the title while the website generates the remaining pieces of information needed to complete a bibliography in MLA and or APA format. Another benefit of utilizing EasyBib is saving time and energy. The website claims to reduce the time required for creating bibliographies by as little as half, and as much as two-thirds. During a test run on Stephan R. Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," a conclusion could be made on the ease and swiftness provided by MyBib. The required information was manually entered and with the click of a button a proper bibliography was reproduced in MLA format and ready for direct printing. EasyBib seems to be the perfect solution for a complete and correct bibliography. Managing multiple sources, collecting relevant and correct information, and producing an accurate bibliography are a must with all of the required papers at CSUSM. Although CSUSM library's homepage offers adequate and efficient information on creating and citing sources in MLA, APA, and other formats all Cougars should be aware of, EasyBib can also be easily utilized to ensure truthful and proper bibliographies.

Alyssa Jacobs asks students to look at dieting and body image in a different way, "a healthy body composition is not something that can be controlled directly; it is reflective of the compounding daily choices we make each day towards a healthy lifestyle." In other words, form follows function. If students are looking for healthy ways to make a lifestyle change and get into shape there are numerous resources on campus as well as on the internet that are free and easy to use. The website www. self.com has a program that challenges the user to get into shape in 3 months, with real workouts and healthy food suggestions. A user can log in and customize a workout log and food log.

However, above and beyond the aweAlthough I almost broke my rule about inspiring structure, and the cheeky Roman 'not arriving in a city after dark', the dusk soldiers who linger around it (be warned of the 'Eternal city' was not at all worrying they really act the part!) the magnificence as I settled down on the Terravision bus to of Rome lies in the fact that everything is the Termini train station. It only took a five nearby. If you do not fancy the walking, minute walk through the cool winter air of there is also the easy to navigate metro Rome to reach the Montestella hostel, and system.

Confidently settled in the hostel, it didn't of espresso and gelato breaks. take long to decide on a restaurant to go Rome is a city with so much to do in. Be to. Using my limited Italian, I managed sure to pay a visit to the Trevi Fountain, the to order a delicious meal of gnocchi in a Circus Maximus—a mass entertainment zesty garlic sauce. A couple of glasses of venue and race track that often hosted charrich red wine in the busy little restaurant iot races—Palatine Hill, Monumneto a Vitlater, and I had planned the events for the torio Emmanuelle, the Pantheon, the Capinext day. First stop: the Colosseum. toline, and the various ancient catacombs— A visit to the Colosseum is seemingly a the list in endless. Being a fan of the artist mandatory thing to do in Rome. It really is Caravaggio, I sought out every place disone of the marvels of the world, and there playing his art, including those housed in is nothing like a wander around its ancient, the church of San Luigi dei Francesi: "The Calling of St Matthew," "The Inspiration of Saint Matthew" and "The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew." I also went on the Bernini trail; his wonderful sculptures are everywhere. In fact, it seems that around every corner there lurks another masterpiece, which brings me to another great aspect of the city: signposts. Little black signposts are all over the place pointing this way and that: "Trevi fountain this way ...the Pantheon this way..." you are absolutely cocooned in historical art. A visit to the Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano (St. Peters Basilica), along with the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City is something that everyone should experience; it is a massive expanse of unimaginable beauty, and if you pop down on a Sunday, you will have a backdrop of beautiful, angelic hymns to accompany the sumptuous feast for the eyes. Rome is a grand place to visit any time of the year. I am more inclined to suggest the cooler months, just because it is less congested, however, the weather may not be the best. During a recent December trip there I got rained on rather badly. And, as luck had it, I was on a long walk to find the "Bocca Delia Verità," a large, round sculpture of a face with the famous "Mouth of Truth." The sculpture's name seems appropriate because it was widely believed at the time of its creation that if a liar was to put their hand in its mouth it would be bitten off! Apparently I am not a liar as my hand came out unscathed so it all turned out well, despite the pouring rain. Indeed, it was quite a f un evening after all, as at thé Boca Delia I met up with a fellow traveler and we had a great time exchanging travel stories as we walked through the pouring rain beside the ancient Circus Maximus. I have many fond memories of Rome; it really is an enchanting place and I fully believe that, regardless of whether you visit to embrace history and art, or simply relax and sip cappuccinos, you are bound to fall in love with the Eternal City. �O PINION THE PRIDE V ^ X A 1 N AV-ALN Tuesday, April 3, 2007 Jock Talk With Josh New opportunities this Spring BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff WriterI love my family, but I considered disowning them after what happened to me this Spring Break. The Friday that school let put I went to Lo$ Angeles for the weekend. I came back to San Diego on Sunday. I then left on Tuesday to Tucson, Arizona with my grandparertts to visit" family and go to baseball spring training. 11:30AM on Tuesday March 27,2007: We stop in Yuma, Arizona to gas up and get something to eat. My phone rings while I 'm eating. I don't pick up the phone because I don't recognize the number, and it's too loud in the restaurant to hear. The mystery number leaves a message. / Noon: I jump into the driver's seat of my car, grab my phone and listen to the message. My grandparents begin to chatter. "Hi my name i s -—-- and I am with the San Diego Padres Marketing department," the message starts. "Oh shit, please be quiet," I yell t omy grandparents. The me§sage goes on. "I would like to s et up an interviewrwith you on Wednesday or Thursday. Please call me back as soon as you can."^ 3 Ì2:Ì5PM: "Hi — , this is Joshua Sandoval returning your call. I am actually in Yuma, Arizona on my way to spring training in Tucson, Arizona so I can't make a Wednesday or Thursday meeting. Please give me a call back so we can set u p something, because I would iove to meet with you." 12:30PM: Back, on the road to Tucson. There are 40 MPH winds bursting across the freeway. We have been in the middle of dust storms for most of the t rip thus far. The phone rings. It's the call I've been waiting for all my life. I need to devote my full attention towards this call, so I pull over to the side of the road and answer, s "Hello?" "Hi, this is — with the San Diego Padres. We want you to come in on Wednesday or Thursday for an interview." "I'm- actually on my way to spring training as we speak. I'm coming back to San Diego on Friday?' "O.K. well how about Monday at 1PM at the Main offices at 100 Park Boulevard?" "Monday at 1PM sounds great," I gratefully agree to. I love my grandparents and I love my family in Tucson, but if the Padres said the interview had to be on Wednesday or Thursday then I would have turned the car right around. 3:16AM on Wednesday March 28, 2007: I can't sleep. Every time I pass out, I dream about working for the Padres and suddenly wake up. This is all that has been on my mind since I got the call. 10:08AM: I get a text message from Karin telling me she has a court side ticket to the Clippers game for me. She knows I'm out of town, but decides to rub it in anyway. 10:09AM: "I love my family... I love my family," I have to keep repeating this to myself so that I don't jump in my car and drive to Los Angeles. Luckily it's only the Clippers. If it was a court side ticket to a Lakers game I would ditch my family and would ask Jack Nicholson to be my new Uncle. I haven't been out of San Diego for 24 hours and I've already delayed My opportunity of becoming a Padre and sitting r f courtside at a Clippers game. 11:00AM: My Uncle Ray buys me a new suit. 1:00PM: My uncie, grandpa and I go to the Diamondbacks and White Sox game. D-baeks win 8-0. 6:45PM: I win $100 playing blackjack at a casino in Tucson. I'm starting to feel better about being in Tucson. I no longer have to convince myself that I really do love my family. I really have had some great opportunities in life thanks in part to my family. B y the time this article comes out, my interview will be over. Who knows if I will be a Padre by then?r Either way, I can't believe some of the things I have been able to accomplish with the help of CSUSM and my family. I have worked with the "San Diego Union-Tribune," "Associated Press," as^a scout for a sports agent, toured with standup comedians and.now maybe a job with the San Diego Padres. I may be getting a little sappy as the wind stretch of my college days are nearing* but it's hard to put into words how grateful I am to my family at home and at CSUSM.

Sunny with blue skies and a cool breeze, it was a perfect day for the Goodguys 7th Del Mar Nationals, held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Hours later a fog bank threatened to encroach upon the festivities, but nothing would deter the thousands of car enthusiasts from their yearly pilgrimage. Hot steel juxtaposed against a backdrop of Spanish mission architecture, an abundance of autos stock and ^H^^^^^SL modified, classics and kit cars - abounded, their jewel box hues a dazzling sight to behold. Candy, fire-engine and crimson reds mingled with rides of teal blue, glittering gold and Dreamsicle orange. In the O'Brien Hall, the elite hot rods cooled their tires in the cavernous space, contestants for the coveted Goodguys Street Rod d'Elegance award. They glistened under artificial lighting, while their less privileged yet still breathtak- • ing brethren dazzled in the sunlight. I Nearby, the Bing Crosby Hall housed ! the hundreds of vendors selling everything from custom headers to neon signs boasting retro images from the 1950s. For the kids, Goodguys offered a free model make-n-take on Saturday at 1 p.m. Kids could build their own model cars and keep them as souvenirs. For the adults, there I were how-to seminars from respected hot I rod builders and a meet and greet with hot-rod builderThom Taylor, •jk^ More vendors hawked H P H f e ^ their wares outside as H ^ H H k jubilant drivers cruised H I down the Del Mar HpNationals "Cruisin' B H P R F Lanes" in their cool creations. Barry Meguiar, host of Meguiar's "Car Crazy" television show, seemed omnipresent, his camera crew trailing behind as he sought out the hottest rides of the show. Ifc cial featured areas included Deuces are Wild, Homebuilt Heaven, Goodguys Pro's Pick Area, Ya Gotta Drive 'Em, Mighty Muscle, Fins are Fifty, Youngguys, and a showcase of woodies - for the uninitiated, these vehicles have bodies that are partially made of wood - called Good Wood. On display in a Spanish-style courtyard complete with bubbling fountain, the collection of woodies basked in the sunlight, decked out with surfboards and vanity license plates, while a live band played nearby. Meanwhile, thousands of car enthusiasts HBBP^ p erused H p i ^ ^ ^ the fantastic array of ^ wares offered by the various vendors and exclaimed over their favorite vehicles, while munching happily on traditional fair fare. The sheer diversity of attendees proved that one can never be too young or too old to appreciate the allure of the auto. Families, small children in tew, couples, groups of girls, and gaggles of guys all paid their money to see the show. Whether clad in casual jeans and t-shirts, raring to go in rockabilly, all dolled up as r etr| pinup kittens, or sporting cowboy boots | jid cowboy hats while cruising in a whii§ Cadillac, show-goers had one thing in common - a love for cars. The magnetic power of the hotrod does not discriminate.
