CSUSM students form winning soccer squad
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Even though Cal State San Marcos' sports
program won't get started for another few years,
some students here are enjoying the game of
soccer anyway.
S tudent Laura Mitchell, an avid soccer player,
heard about the city of San Marcos' soccer
leagues and wanted to join. The leagues, however, only accepted teams. So Mitchell started
one.
Nine players, including Mitchell, joined the
Community Services' co-ed soccer league under the team name 'The Strikers.' The now 13member team is undefeated and is largely made
up of Cal State San Marcos and other area
college students.
"We have a range of players who have never
played before and those who have played for 10
years," Mitchell said.
The teams colors are white and those who
attend Cal State San Marcos wear their college
T-shirts. Other students come from neighboring
Palomar College and as far away as Cal Poly
Pomona.
"We (CSUSM students) are kinds of the ring
leaders," said Richard Malloy, a CSUSM student.
From CSUSM, team members include
Michelle Sadova, Kelly Yates, Lisa Foster, Jose
Chapman, Debbie Ricketts, Mitchell and Malloy.
Mitchell, Chapman and Ricketts plays defense. ' They're the main defensive players,"
Malloy said.
Mitchell said there are some rules that come
with the co-ed games that not all players agree
with. For example, when a female has control of
the ball in the center of the field, a male cannot
take it away* Mitchell, an experienced player,
feels this is unfair to both sexes.
The team tries to practice twice a week, but
with conflicting school and work schedules, not
everyone can make i t
"We at least have two practices a week," said
Malloy, "but not everyone can make both times."
Photographer gives greetings local angle
D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
Have you ever stood on the beach gazing at
a sunset and yearning for a camera to capture the
f oment?"
* ' WeUf*pai:ten£ Barge makes a living taking
pictures of the beach and selling them as greeting cards.
"S andy Dreams Greetings" has been a reality
for Barge for about six years. She and her
husband decided there was a market for pictures
of North County beaches and chose to mount
their pictures, on 5-by-7 card stock to sell as
greeting cards*
They visited local merchants, who desired
pictures of beaches other than San Diego City
beaches, and their business took off overnight.
Barge takes pictures of different beaches,
their piers, the ocean and the setting sun; mounts
them and writes her own special messages on
thé sand in the pictures.
What's hiôst impressive about these greeting
cards is that every one is a photograph that can
be mounted in a 5-by-7 or larger frame.
These greeting cards are made to be admired
all the time, not just glanced at and thrown
away.
For example, one of her best-selling cards
displays a Santa waving a bag and tçwël, wearing white Bermuda shorts, red and white knee
socks and looking like a real Santa from the
waist-up. He is standing in the sand with the
ocean unfolding behind him.
This is "Southern California's" depiction of
Santa. He floats in on the ocean and looks like
a tourist ready to catch a wave or some
sun.
Another popular card portrays the
ocean waves creeping onto the sand
leaving white foam in its wake. The
white foam is Southern California's
idea of a "White Christmas."
Barge says that many people from
Southern California love to send this
card to their relatives in the Northeast
and the Midwest.
Barge takes her o wn pictures, makes
her o w n
cards (with the help of an
assistant), sells and restocks all her
greeting cards herself. In addition to
holiday cards, Barge also creates
Happy Birthday cards for other occasions.
Many specialty stores sell Barge's
greeting cards, especially stores that cater
mostly to tourists. By taking pictures of local
beaches and writing the names of the beaches in
the sand, Barge creates pictures that can be
saved and admired.
You can find Barge's unique greeting cards
at the Palomar College Bookstore, the Harbor
G ift Shop (on Oceanside pier), at El Camino

While the economic recession
slows down consumers, it may actually be speeding up the construction
process at Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus site off Twin Oaks
Valley Road.
Whereas, last month CSUSM officials were pessimistic as to whether
the first phase of the campus construction would b e completed by its
f all 1992 deadline, the faltering
economy has injected a glimmer of
hope into die project's timeline.
Albert Amado, vice president of
Campus Construction and Physical
Planning, said that subcontractors are

Child care program
good idea from A. S.
Ever since Cal State San Marcos opened last year, many
students have pleaded with the powers that be to instigate a
child care program.
Now the Associated Student Council may have an answer
to their problems.
With a population that consists primarily of older students,
child care is a
legitimate
concern.
Many
of
CSUSM'sreentry population are parents that are
faced with the

d ilemma of

where to put
their children while mom or dad goes to school.
Unfortunately, college administrators and the A.S. Council have delayed starting a child care program because of the
high cost of liability insurance. In addition, CSUSM's temporary campus does not have proper facilities to care for children
on site.
Some students who are not parents have also expressed a
reluctance to fund a university-sponsored program. These
students feel that paying for child care should not be their
responsibility since they chose to forgo the cost of raising
children in the first place.
At last the A.S. found a solution that can please those
unwilling to fund child care and avoid university liability. By
seeking help from the San Marcos Boys and Girls Club, the
A.S. has shown the type of ingenuity and resourcefulness that
has typified CSUSM's short history.
Under the program, students can drop their children off at
the Club on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to
8 p.m. where they will be supervised by Club staff.
The Boys and Girls Club is accustomed to working with
children on a daily basis and is known for its community
service contributions with regard to children.
The cost of the program is relatively inexpensive. An
annual membership fee of $15 affords students the opportunity to utilize the evening child care services and facilities of
the Club. Students pay only $5 per night to take advantage of
the plan.
Few, if any, organizations offer child care at such an
affordable rate.
The program, however, cannot be started unless a minimum of 15 students participate. Students wishing to take
advantage of the program must sign up now. Waiting until
next semester will only close the window of child care
opportunity.
The college still has to wrestle with the dilemma of dealing
with preschool children. Since the program only services
children from 6 to 18 years of age, parents needing preschool
care need to seek help elsewhere. Still, the program is a step
in the right direction.
Currently, the Boys and Girls Club has child care programs
during the day. This new program would simply extend this
program into the evening hours.
OUR VIEWS
Editor studies taxonomy of critics
Preparatory to anything else, the person wishing to write a
statement, editorial in nature, should examine the critics of the art
of o psonization.
It seems that whenever an opinion is advanced, an opposing
opinion of lesser, equal or greater force is advanced to reverse the
stress brought on by the opinion of thefirstparty (known to many
as the politician's first law of verbal dynamics).
Through careful examination of opposing opinions, we find
revealed a taxonomical classification of the realm of critics at
large. From the kingdom Animalia, phylum Vertibrae, class
Mammalia, order New World, family Nuclear and the genus
Criticus, we can discern several unique species who participate
in the symbiotic evolutionary cycle of argumentative discourse.
Criticus equatus: Propels earthly arguments into the logical
ozone with encapsulated analogies that equate the mundane with
the extraterrestrial.
e.g. You buy the last pound of ground turkey flesh from the
grocery store. Mrs. Smith, wanting the fowl, becomes so enraged
by the buy she goes to the library and reads how to build a
thermonuclear devise (Popular Science, March 1972pp. 74). She
gathers enough plutonium from discarded smoke detectors and
pacemakers and constructs a warhead roughly the size of New
Hampshire which she proceeds to detonate at your house. The
Pentagon perceives the explosion as an attack from the Soviet
Union (they were faking internal troubles) and launches its entire
entourage of ICBMs at Moscow which retaliates by launching its
entire entourage of ICBMs at Washington D.C. resulting in total
and complete world obliteration and global destruction. Therefore you must become a vegetarian.
Criticus oxymoronicus: Inclined to correct ideologies ofthose
holding incorrect political persuasions, unaware that arguments
political in nature inherently may be deemed controversial by the
correctitudes of opposing latitudes, thereby boggling the nature
of macrocorrectness with microspeculations of verbatically
deemed incorrectness.
e.g. Prone to tarry over the nature of words that aclvertentlyDr
inadvertently propagate racial, gender or other stereotypical
t itles through
their spelling or
inference.
Black-list,
black-ball,
beanpole,chairman, manhole,
mandate, Mexican,Mexican',,
girl, boy, boyEDITOR-IN-CHIEF
toy, oh boy.
Criticus
insultus: Throws argument to the wind, logic to the dogs and
opponent to the wolves. Responds to a well thought out argument
with a conflagration of anti-personal razz-ma-tazz.
e.g. George Bush's Willie Horton rabbit punch to Michael
Dukakis (liberal) in the 1988 presidential elections. Michael
Dukakis' uppercut to George Bush's squeaky voice (whimp) in
the 1988 presidential elections. The media's attack on Ted
Kennedy (womanizer, dunderhead, cheat, murderer). Congress'
barrage on California state senator Alan Cranston, who was
involved with the sagacious, magnificent Keating five (crook).
Third-grader Johnnie's cheap shot to third-grader Sally (you're
ugly). Third-grader Sally's return slam to third-grader Johnnie (I
know you are but what am I).
Criticus ra-ra-russ: Always argues on the side of the home
team regardless of congruity of logical argument Organisms
within this classification (also known as Criticus americus,

A
THOUGHT:
"How long does a man
spend dying? What does
it mean to say 'forever'?"
PABLO NERUDA
I personally find the opinion of Nov. 12
Pioneer regarding "Basic courses essential at
CSUSM" to be a little naive, to say the least. It
appears that the writer has joined the ranks of
some of the other "snifflers" and "Whiners"
roaming our campus. They seem to join our
campus with that trailblazing spirit then develop
a c ritical c ase of " Iwantitis" or
"gimmeegimmeeitits."
We all applied to CSUSM as juniors (that
was the qualification for entrance) with thé
understanding that no lower division course work
was going to be offered. I remember on one visit
to MiraCosta College, a CSUSM representative
told us of the writing requirement so that we
would have time (spring semester 1990) to
update our skills if they were rusty.
Yes, the population of our campus are reentry students. However, re-entry in this sense
applies to late-bloomers - those students that
delay beginning their educational goals.
For most, the gap you mentioned is between
high school and college not between lower and
upper division coursework. We are transfer
students, that is transferring directly from a
local junior college such as MiraCosta or
Palomar.
Twenty-five hundred words or not,how could
anyone transfer as a junior without having some
basic foundation in math, science, and English?
Math and English have a progression in our
JCs - placement tests are taken and the student
follows a prescribed outline based upon where
he/she places on the exam. These courses are
also covered in the basic lower division GE
coursework requirements for entrance to most
universities. To knowingly transfer into an upper division campus such as ours without any
experience would not place the blame on
CSUSMforatransferstudentnotbeingprepared.
I would, however, go back or write to the
junior college and let these feeder schools know
how they could have prepared you better.
Our JCs are responsible for lower division
coursework. Therefore, I would:
•
tell them that they need to offer more
class sections in those basic areas.
•
tell them that they need to redesign their
programs in order to prepare their students to be
successful at CSUSM (for example, all classes
should stress writing not just English classes).
As far as our identity is concerned, one can
achieve that feeling of oneness by doing the
very thing that most students avoid - getting
involved! I, and most of my friends, managed to
transfer in the fall of 1990 to CSUSM, pull an
extra lower division class at Palomar, hold down
a job, take care of a family and be involved with
the university in some capacity. Our identity
was proudly earned as CSUSM students.
Yes we did breath a sigh or relief when we
were through with the local JC but that did not
inhibit our efforts to put our university on the
map by getting involved. Whether it was the
Student Governance Task Force or a subcommittee thereof, the writing center, the yearbook,

My suggestion is to stop crying over those
things that aren * t here by being an active participant in what is here!
There is a wonderful writing center staffed
with extremely qualified writers to help those
writing requirement blues. There is also a newly
formed Mathlab equally staffed with qualified
personnel to deal with that math anxiety. Not to
mention ongoing workshops by EOP and Career
Placement and Planning that deal with these

very problems! Don't forget our Counseling
Services that can help with coping techniques as

We also are fortunate to have concerned,
ogy or History Club, or whatever, we got involved. (If it wasn't formed we got permission caring professionals on faculty, all of which
share your desires for a successful experience at
to create it!)
This semester we have our first clubs/orga- CSUSM and most are willing to help you get
nization and publication still quite active. We back on track.
Our campus is still small and it behooves all

from 20,000 to 40,000 species of plants
and animals will perish from the face of the

which rose from the ashes of extinction, the California
condor may find a new beginning amidst the destruction of its species.
Next month, officials at the San Diego Wild
Animal Park in Escondido plan to reintroduce the
condor into the wild by releasing a male and a female
bird from captivity. The California condor, which has
been extinct in the wild since 1987, represents the
most highly publicized success story at the Park.
Currently all 52 existing California condors live in
captivity. Twenty-four of them dwell in a
" condominiuma $150,000 condor breeding center
located at the Park. Next month's release represents a
decade of efforts to save the majestic bird.
Former Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,
Dr. S. Dillon Ripley stated, "The condor represents . ..
one of the very few natural genetic reservoirs,
unchanged since Pleistocene times a million years
ago. It should be preserved as a biological resource."
As a link to the past, the California condor is
unique in its attributes. It has a wingspan of eight to
nine and a half feet, making it the largest indigenous
flying bird in North America. It can rise up to four
miles in altitude and glide down 150 miles.
California condors are relatives of vultures and
feed of animals that are already dead. They are not
equipped with talons for catching live prey. Myths of
condors carrying small children away are completely
false, since condors utilize all their wing power to lift
their 25-pound bodies off the ground.
"The bird has a magical attraction,** says Bill
Toone, curator of birds at the Wild Animal Park. ' The
condor has immense charisma. It is completely silent
and absolutely a master of control in the air. The
condor is a tremendous demonstration of power and
control. Therein lies the importance of its conservation.**
Toone started his association with the Park in the
late 1970s as a grad student studying how captive
behavior effects the hormones and breeding practices
of birds. He says he had no intention to concentrate on
condors as a student, but the b ird's majesty hooked
him.

environment in the future, officials
reserve their optimism as to whether
or not-the species can survive in the
wild. *
Tom Hanscom, director of
Public Relations at the Wild Animal
Park, cites that the reasons for the
condor's demise have yet to be
determined. Many of the factors
that destroyed the giant b ird's
population still e xist
Scientists speculate that apart
from human encroachment and
hunters' bullets, lead poisoning may
have been a primary agent in the
natural extinction of the condors.
Some condors feeding on game left
behind by hunters ingested lead
shotgun pellets imbedded in the
carrion. Others may have died by
consuming poisoned carcasses set
out as bait to kill coyotes.
"Our problem is we haven't
cleaned up the environment that
caused the condors' extinction. This
is not a biologically sound
reintroduction, it is a politically
sound one," Hanscom says.
Toone indicates that people
should expect to see the deaths of at
least 20 of the released condors;
but, he adds, these deaths will help
scientists determine the reasons for
the animal's natural extinction.
"Deaths in the field will be
affordable on a species level," says
Toone.
According to Toone, each bird
will be radio tagged and monitored
continuously by scientists. If a
condor dies, its body can be located
and studied to determine the cause
of death. The information will then
aid conservationists in eliminating
the factors which originally caused
the condors' extinction.
Toone also agrees with Hanscom
that the condor release program is
more a sound ''political" move than
a biological one.
Under the Federal Endangered
Species Act, the habitat occupied by
an animal facing extinction is
protected f rom human encroachment and development. Builders are
prohibited from construction on
lands occupied by endangered
species.
Because of the vast area of land
the condor occupies, the bird is
referred to as an "umbrella species."
Within its 150 square-mile domain
lives 56 different endangered
species. These other animals will
find added protection from human

encroachment once the condor is
reintroduced into its natural habitat.
After the condor became extinct
in the wild, protection of its natural
habitat was lifted. When the two
birds are released next month, its
lands will once again fall under an
umbrella of federal protection.
Since the condor holds such a
high profile of media attention,
developers will be more informed
on condor lands protected under the
Endangered Species Act. As a
result, lower profile animals, such
as the cactus wren, that share
habitats with the condor will find
their homes protected as well.
G E N E R A L L Y SPEAKING,
captive breeding programs at the
Wild Animal Park serve only to
augment populations in the wild. In
the case of the California condor,
captive breeding has completely
saved the species.
In 1982, biologists began
scouring the condor's habitat for
eggs to be reared in captivity. Only
a handful of condors remained and
the only hopes for the animal's
future rested in animal sanctuaries.
Previously, zoologists were
reluctant to collect condor eggs
because the natural population of
th£birds would be seriously
depleted.
"Because of the hostile habitat,
we couldn't afford to have any
more of the animals die," says
Toone.
He states that the Wild Animal
Park approached the condor

breeding program with optimism. In
the 1940s, the San Diego Zoo
developed the first captive breeding
program of the Andean Condor.
The program was a success and
proved that condors were relatively
easy animals to take care of.
According to Toone, finding
condor eggs was no easy task. Since
99 percent of condors do not build
nests, biologists had to find caves
(usually at high altitudes in cliff
sides) where the condors laid their
eggs. A female condor generally
lays only one egg at a time and only

Toone says that eggs were
gathered in February with the hopes
that the female would lay another
before the breeding season came to
a close.
Immediately after an egg was
gathered, it was placed in an
incubator and flown by helicopter to
the Wild Animal Park. Incubation
of the egg continued without
interference until hatch-out time.

gathered egg at the Park occurred in
1983. Since that time the California
condor breeding program soared
into orbit.
In 1988 Molloko, the first
California condor ever conceived
and hatched in captivity, brought
renewed hopes of the animal's
future. Last year Park condors laid
26 eggs, as many as three eggs per
female condor.
Once a condor is hatched, it is
immediately placed in an infant
isolette. The chick is nurtured and
raised through the use of condor
puppets to insure that the condor
can recognize other condors.
Toone says that after six or seven
years the condors reach maturity
and are able to reproduce. It is only
when they reach this point that
biologists will reintroduce them to
the wild.
Next year, Toone hopes the Park
and the Los Angeles Zoo (which
has a similar program) will release
six condors. He says that because
each bird costs about $250,000 to
develop and monitor, reintroduction
into the wild will be a slow and
expensive process.
"We want to develop three selfsustaining populations that are
geographically distant, each with
100 birds," says Toone. "It might
happen in my lifetime."

It is so easy to be interrupted
when studying for finals.
I just received my fall edition of
"Yosemite Magazine." The lead
article is about something close to
my h eart... the photography of
Yosemite.
The beautiful pictures reminded
me of the wonderful times I have
had photographing Yosemite before
my days at Cal State San Marcos.
The desire to pack up and run to the
high country pulls on my very v
being.
I have a real affinity for
Yosemite and hay & visited, the
national park at least 20 or so times;
but only once have I been there in
the winter.
Gone were the screaming kids,
the packed paths, the traffic jams,
the sights of beauty teaming with
humanity. Instead, a solitude
invades the valley, the pace slows
down and beauty can be admired in
solo wonder.
Warm cabins and lodge rooms
are available at the Yosemite Lodge
and Camp Curry. The winter rates
remain reasonable for a resort. All
of the restaurants and stores stay
open for winter guests.
The park keeps the roads clear of
snow and, so long as good preparation for winter clothing and gear are
met, the trip is beyond reward.
I stayed at the Yosemite Lodge
and early every morning I was
rewarded with the sight of Yosemite
Falls frozen to the face of the sheer
granite wall. During the night the
breeze fanned the falling water so
that the ice framed both sides of the
falls for many yards.
As the sun penetrated into the
valley and warmed the rock walls,
the ice cracked, rumbled and
thundered as it fell hundreds of feet
to the boulders below.
The Merced River, which rages
in the spring, becomes as a tame
kitten in the winter. The edges of
the river become frozen like a
winter pond while the center stays
clear.
The peaceful flowing water
Snow clings to thr rocky face of one of
Yosemite's majestic landmarks during the
national park's calm winter months.
reflects the majesty of a Yosemite
winter day: snow-capped river
rocks, snow-encrusted pine trees,
snow-topped sheer granite walls
and white clouds framed in blue
skies.
But winter in Yosemite is not
just the splendor of the big scene, it
is also the beauty of an autumn leaf
varnished with a coat of frozen
crystals or the pattern of a patch of
snow on a dead, charred log.
I t's a cold, quiet walk followed
by Irish Coffee to warm up the
system. If you love Yosemite in die
summer, you'll adore it in the
winter.
For those that desire more
strenuous winter wonder, Yosemite
offers both cross-country and
downhill skiing. Buses commute
between the valley floor and Badger
Pass a lt day, every day.
The Yosemite Association didn't
have to send me their quarterly
journal right at the beginning of
finals for it has sent my mind a
wondering and I think I have talked
myself into a winter break trip to
Yosemite.
My husband has never seen
Yosemite in the snow and I c an't
wait to share the beauty witjt him.

singing as they open "Little Shop of

Moonlight Amphitheatre's winter
season. As the Cool Urchins, the trio* s
voices prepare the soil for the remaining cast members who sprout equally
impressive songs.
By far, the singing of the 10-member cast is the highlight of this show.
Led by director Ray Limon, thé production blossoms with comedy, f un,
murder, love and music.
Not only do the g irl| set the stage

so easy that the cast does it themselves without loosing a beat of music.
The other end of the critics scale,
the part that needs some work still, is
the plant itself. Although the execution and voice of the alien vegetable is
without flaw, the actual puppet has
had better days.
The plant props were rented;
however, the theater isn't getting its
money's worth. The plant is torn and
missing obvious parts (a tooth for
example). With the talent and skills at
the Moonlight, they would have been
better off building their own puppets.
The Cool Urchins and company
end with a song imploring those
watching not to feed the plants. Even
if you don't, you must see this show.
"Little Shop of Horrors" shows
this Thursday through Saturday night
at 8 p.m. with a closing performance
at 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are only $8
for students ($12 for general admission). Call 724-2110 for information.
