X IX N O. 1 Primary election season intensifies with voting BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Big plans for Black Student Union BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer A fter spending last semester resurrecting the Black Student Union, a forward looking attitude and a revamped sense of involvement could bring success to this growing group of African American students at Cal State San Marcos this spring. Under the motto, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude," the BSU is stepping out of the shadows intent on becoming an integral part of the CSUSM campus community. Having overcome the financial obstacles that stifled previous manifestations of the BSU, the new and improved BSU unveiled a calendar loaded with events and activities for the coming month at their Jan. 31 weekly meeting. Involvement is something that will be central to the BSU's ambitions this semester as they do more than simply step out into the campus community. Bringing in representatives from ASI and the Women's Center to their meeting, the BSU is making an effort to work with other campus organizations tq bring the entire campus together. "I think it's more important for us to not just stay BSU in and of itself, but let everyone see us," said BSU President Sherray-Blythe to the group. "If you didn't want to get involved, you wouldn't be here" In their biggest event of the month, the BSU will put on a dance called "Sensual Seduction" on Feb. 23 at the Clarke from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. The BSU encourages students interested in participating to attend their Thursday during U-Hour in University Hall 101.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for creating policies on student fees, admissions, financial aid, technology, and student services that a ffect more than 450,000 students, easily making it the highest policy planning committee in the CSU system. The position of student t rustee is the highest and most prestigious position a CSU student can hold. The p rimary responsibility of a student trustee consists of presenting the issues, positions, and perspectives of CSU stu- dents. A student t rustee holds the same powers and responsibilities of the other t rustees and is paid $100 a day for conducting the business of the Board as well as attending the seven regularly scheduled meetings per year. Applications must be mailed to the Office of University A ffairs, 401 Golden Shore, Long Beach, CA 90812 by 5:00 pm on Friday, Feb. 22. Inter- ested students can get more information and instructions on how to apply on the CSSA website at www.csustudents.org. Interviews for candidates are scheduled for Friday, May 12 at CSU Fullerton. Following the process, the CSSA will forward the names of two to five finalists to Governor Schwarzenegger who will then make an ultimate decision. University Village staff w ins spirit award Resident Advisors present stress busters at annual conference BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer On Jan. 26, the CSUSM Resident Advisors and Resident Hall Council members traveled to CSU San Bernardino for the Southern Resident Assistant Program Conference. The annual gathering recognizes the. achievements of student leaders in local college and university residence halls. Weeks in advance, students submit .program ideas to share at the conference. This year, eight programs from CSUSM were chosen. Students were able to spend the day relaxing and sharing ideas with other college leaders before the distribution of awards later on in the evening. Of the ten programs recognized for 'Top Ten of the Year,' two were from San Marcos RAs. CSUSM student, Corbin Northington, received an award for his presentation on necessary first aid knowledge in resident halls. Also garnering recognition was first year RA, Alexander Hoang. His program titled "Meditation Invigoration," challenged students to take risks in order to grow outside their comfort zones. The program's purpose is combating stress among college students, inspired by the chilling statistic that stress is a top factor of death in the United States. Hoang hopes that students can "be comfortable with oneself and make good choices away from materialism." Upon learning about his award, Hoang said, "It felt great. I'm glad to present something other student leaders could take something away from." After the program awards, the event's most prestigious award, the Spirit Award, was announced. The Spirit Award, based on spirit at the conference, participation in program presentations, and a video clip made prior to the day, was presented to CSUSM. The CSUSM RAs created a 'Cougar Lightning' video with the help of spirit leader, Brian Buttacavoli. Along with a three-dimension plaque, the awarded school keeps a 'Spirit Stick' for the year and returns it at the following year's conference. "It was awesome to take the highest award." Hoang said. CSUSM may be a small school but the strength of the University Village team and staff rose to the occasion. �NEWS Tuesday; February 05, 2008 Mini dreates exploratory committee to assessn hold orm debate put o situation City Council c XheC^pride I §§gi |§g£ * immimisim^ - ^ EDITOR W CHIIR * !

The precarious situation between homeowners (who argue the rowdy tenants disrupt neighborhoods) and students (who believe affordable housing goes a long way) leaves the two communities embattled over the issue. The current answer provided by City Council right now lies in the creation of a "Student and Neighborhood Relations Commission." The eight members will oversee potential solutions for neighborhoods disrupted by loud, unruly college students and any other disruptive conduct. Two members of City Council will join the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce and a USMC Camp Pendleton representative from Oceanside. The remaining four include students from Cal State San Marcos and from Palomar Coljege. In Jan. 2007, the City of San Diego passed an ordinance for the owners of single-family homes to pay additional permit fees up to $1000 a year for households that have six or more adult occupants. The surrounding college area at San Diego State University is the most affected by the ordinance. Whether this will affect the San Marcos area remains unknown. Over the past several months, complaints among homeowners of the area have risen, mainly citing things such as loud partying, littering, and limited street parking.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer New York is home to many giants: the victorious NY Giants, giant skyscrapers, a giant statue, giant bridges, giant pretzels, giant hot dogs, and giant musical productions. That said, any venture to New York City is bound to be one monumental occasion, and so too was mine last year. Arriving in the city at 3 a.m. one Saturday morning, it only took seconds for the infamous saying that NYC is "the city that never sleeps" to ring true. Crammed into the backseat of a taxi (my first NY taxi ride of many), adrenaline pulsed through me as our cab driver proceeded to get out of the car come close to blows with another driver over who's turn it was to merge into the right-hand lane. I never heard so many violent profanities in different languages at one time before. Once on Manhattan Island, we made our way to Times Square. A hub of fluorescent lights and mayhem, in the center of all the action we arrived at our hotel, which stood adjacent to the glowing Coca-Cola marquee and next to the Legally Blonde Broadway, show. A world all its own; the lights, action and smells mystified and excited me. Throughout the duration of our Manhattan adventure, I experi- The thing about New York is that there is so much to see and do, that it is nearly impossible to capture it in words, and see it all in under a week. enced many firsts. My first NY hot dog, my first time hailing a cab on my own, my first time getting lost in a such an overwhelming city, and the first time I had the opportunity to see so many historical and famous places. The thing about New York is that there is so much to see and do, that it is nearly impossible to capture it in words, and see it all in under a week. Our first night in the city my group of companions and I made a list of all the things we wanted to do and see. Then, we attempted to organize the locations g eographically and maximize every minute of every day. Forget sleeping—we were in New York, and who knew when we were going to be back there H H H H m H ^^ again—we were going to t ry to do it all. Day one began with a privately guided limousine tour of the city to get our bearings of how to navigate the island. I must say if you have the money, seeing New York through the sunroof and windows of a private limo, complete with bubbly and beverages galore, is hands down the way to go. The city was under water on day two. It poured all night, and continued to pour all day, and this was the day we planned to visit the Statue of Liberty. I must admit it was not our best idea. Walking miles in the rain to the harbor and waiting in line at the Statue for two hours constituted the most miserably wet and uncomfort- mmmsmSm able day of my life. However, it was bittersweet, as it will forever be one of the most memorable days of my life. Seeing Lady Liberty in all her glory and breathing in the musty history that filled the hallways and stairs, awakened a new sense of adventure and patriotism. The rest of our trip continued in this fashion, with a lot of bitter, and almost as much sweet. Sludging around the city in the sticky heat and moody weather at times created problems, such as ending up on the subway line that went to the Bronx all by myself, and running out of clean, dry clothes. Thankfully, there were plenty of "I heart N Y" shirts to build a wardrobe for the remaining few days. In all its glory and infamy, NYC should be at the top of your places to see, as it has more to offer than any other city in the country. f rtp fc ¡SÜ" , ...

Furthermore, the more states a candidate wins, the better chance he or she has at being the front-runner. To put it simpler: Super Tuesday is kind of like a mini-election, or a preliminary round in American Idol. The official presidential elections are not until November; but t hat's November, and this is now, giving us ten months to go; unofficially marking Super Tuesday the beginning of the race! The w inners of the m ajority of the 24 states will be recognized as the f rontrunners, and begin t o c ampaign nationally. Before, campaigning was only for states that held earlier p rimaries, such as Iowa or New Hampshire, in order for candidates t o save money and secure victories, propelling them t hrough the race. However, a fter Super Tuesday the f ront-runners take the lead, the battle lines will remain drawn until November. A year ago t here were countless candidates campaigning all across the country. As of Super Tuesday, there will only be Last but not least is Ron Paul; the six left: two from the Democratic Party, and four f rom the Republican side. And Republican Congressman f rom Texas who feels our country is straying away the candidates are: We have Barack Obama, a Democratic s enator from Illinois, , who: has b eenp^ "senator his professional career a little over 3 years. Obama's platform rests oil his promise/vocalization of change, which has inspired millions and his following only seems to be growing (in January Ä.J alone his campaign acquired $32 million through contributions). He was recently voted #1 Liberal Senator by the National Journal, and has support f rom big names like the Kennedy's and Oprah. The other Democrat r unning is former First Lady Hillary Clinton, the current New York Senator. Alongside Obama, they make this presidential race a historical feat, being that neither a woman nor an A frican American have ever made it so far along in the primaries. Clinton also stated she would bring change, and emphasized her 30 years of experience as a strong point in her campaign. For the Republicans, there is John McCain, a Senator f rom Arizona. Senator McCain served as a captain in the Vietnam War, received several awards and medals, and was a Prisoner of War for almost 6 years in Vietnam. Next we've got Mitt Romney, a republican and former governor of Massachusetts, who has lengthy expérience with budgetary finances because of h is successful career as a CEO and president of the 2002 Winter Olympics. f rom its founding principles.

The Recyclemania 2008 contest begins February 8th. The annual recycling contest happens for 10 weeks, and is open to competing colleges nationwide. In 2006 and 2007, CSUSM won the Grand Champion Award, and in 2005, when the contest only contained two categories, CSUSM almost won the Per Capita category and placed first in the Recycling Rate category. Currently, the 2008 con- test includes more than 400 colleges, whereas last year's contest only included a little more than 200 schools. San Diego State University and University of California San Diego have entered the competition again. This year there are four main categories in the contest: Largest Amount of Recyclables Per Capita, Largest Amount of Total Recyclables, Least Amount of .Trash Per Capita, and Highest Recycling Rate. Participating colleges can also compete in the Targeted Materials category. In the Targeted Materials category, schools may choose one item from the following to focus on: bottles and cans, corrugated cardboard, food service organics, and paper, and then the competition mandates measurements in pounds on a weekly basis throughout the duration of the competition. For their efforts, campuses receive trophies, awards, and certificates. The Green Team and Blue Crew are major components in the competition. The Green Team constantly focuses on reducing, recycling, and reusing at CSUSM while the Blue Crew handles the actual collection and sorting of CSUSM's trash. Based on their combined efforts, CSUSM continues to be a fierce competitor in the contest. When asked if CSUSM will win the competition, Junior Business Major Kyle McClellan responded with, "Win? Heck yeah! Our school is the stuff!" For more information, please visit: http://www.recyclemania. com/ and http://www.myspace. com/recyclemania. Mardi Gras: Let the good times roll BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer I would be willing to bet that nearly everyone in the continental United States and Western Europe has at least heard of Mardi Gras. That's right, the greatest free party on earth; narrow, cozy streets in the French Quarter, beads flying from balconies bursting with eager celebrators, free alcohol, countless floats, outrageous costumes, and raucous behavior in every nook and cranny of New Orleans, Louisiana. Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, or most commonly known as, Fat Tuesday, is in fact today. As the last day before the Catholic observance of Lent, Mardi Gras calls for merriment and festivity to run thick throughout New Orleans, not to mention innumerable other locations around the world. Arriving as early a » February 3 or as late as March 9, Mardi Gras serves as a last-ditch effort to treat yourself prior to the dry month preceding Easter. Simply known as Carnival or Carnivale internationally (namely, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the celebration's intentions are universal while still incorporating the great music and over-indulgence synonymous with the revelry here in the States; Most partygoers have no idea that Mardi Gras actually ends today, Fat Tuesday, with January 6 as the real beginning of the festivities. On Epiphany, twelve days after Christmas, Orthodox Catholics believe that Jesus Christ "shone forth" as God in human form. Western Christians also celebrate this day as the visitation of the Magi and commemorate the event with a feast. What's more, the tradition began in the United States even before the territory fell under American rule. Nearly one hundred years before the Louisiana Purchase, King Louis XIV reigned over a large part of our now united country. As a means of defending his newly acquired land, the French monarch sent for Iberville and Bienville LeMoyne to go sailing up the Mississippi River in hopes of establishing a new settlement. The brothers called the area they came upon Point du Mardi Gras. Throughout the years, proud French descendants inhabiting the Bayou, known as Creoles, passed on their traditions to make honorary Creoles out of all taking part in the bash. As interesting as all the history is, the mere mention of Mardi Gras causes most Americans to conjure up thoughts of flowing beer and women shamelessly bearing their chests in exchange for plastic beads. Obviously, there is no objection to this on Bourbon Street, but has anyone ever stopped to ask: Why beads? It all started in the 1920s with the Rex Company's float tossing inexpensive glass necklaces into the parade's crowd. Thus, a tradition was born. Nowadays, it is quite common for float Krewes (groups who produce and ride on parade floats) to shell out thousands of dollars on the enticing purple, green, and gold necklaces. All in all, Mardi Gras is not solely a French celebration; it is rather a means of uniting different people and cultures all looking for the same thing: a good party.

Cougars split home opener against Vanguard BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer The Cougars (2-4) split their home opener, doubleheader against Vanguard (1-1) on Sat. losing the first game 8-3, and winning the final game 1-0. Vanguard dominated the first game on a strong pitching p erformance froiri Dustin Jones, who went six shutout innings and surrendered only two hits. Michael Anderson pitched the» final three innings giving up the only three r uns the Cougars scored. Vanguard broke the game open in t he top of the 5th and 6th innings. In the top of the 5th, RF Jason Machado hit a one-out solo homerun to give Vanguard a 3 -0 lead. A two out two-error mishap lead to Vanguard's second r un in the inning. In the top of the 6th, Machado struck again with a two-RBI single u p the middle. He ended his day 3 -4 with four RBI's. By t he b ottom of t he 7th, t he Cougars were down an i nsurmountable lead 7-0. Jared Suwyn ended t he Vanguard shutout by h itting a t wo-run H R o ff of A nderson in t he 9th. The Cougars, j ust playing for r espect, added one more r un in t he bottom of t he 9th to m ake the final score 8-3. Game two of the double header was a different story for the Cougars shutting Vanguard out 1-0, in a pitchers duel using three pitchers to combine for a one-hit shutout. GUTS OR CAREER W ANCE CARTELLI HE R IGHT DadECISION? AS IT T Rivers h arthroscopic knee surgery BY L Pride Staff Writer The a ftermath of t he Super Bowl h as arrived and t he N FL s eason is over in d isappointing f ashion f or San Diego Charger f ans. With a severely h urt 'Big 3 ' in Philip Rivers', t orn ACL, L aDainian Tomlinson's, h yper extended k nee, and Antonio Gates', dislocated big toe, t he Chargers lost 21-12 on Jan. 20 t o t he N ew England Patriots. Sorry to r emind you Charger fans. The question I r aise is 4Was Philip Rivers decision t o play w ith a t orn ACL in his right k nee, t he right decision?' The evidence on why it w as t he w rong decision: R ivers h urt h is k nee t he week before against t he I ndianapolis Colts game; back u p QB Billy Volek showed that he was more t han capable, leading the g ame-winning drive against t he p revious Super Bowl champions. Volek would have b een a game m anager and would not have b een put into situations where he would t hrow interceptions as R ivers did. j ust so he could play in the AFC championship game, meaning he was unable to practice for t he most important game of his life against one of the greatest t eams of all time. On a personal level, Rivers is a young QB with a long career ahead of him that is f acing surgery that will require at least 6 months for recovery. One hit could easily have ended h is career and lost him millions of dollars with the chance of r eturning t o the p layoffs/ There is no doubt Rivers decision to play was gutsy and should be praised for h is dedication to his team and his desire t o w in. But we have no crystal ball, no way t o tell the f uture. His play was that of a man with a hurt k nee t hrowing t hree interceptions, the same as godlike Tom Brady. Would back-up Billy Volek played better t han a hurt Rivers? With a healthy Tomlinson would the Chargers have won? Would all of it matter? We j ust don't know, it's all speculation to say it was the right or wrong decision. Men's soccer tryouts BY T IM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM men's soccer is holding is annual open tryout on Saturday, February 16th f rom 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Mangrum Track and Soccer Field. Students interested in t rying out can visit www.csusm.edu/athletics before February 11th to fill out the appropriate documents. "We are hoping t o identify any students currently on campus who may have the ability to contribute to the men's team and solidify a roster spot," said assistant coach Bobby Renneisen. T he team is going into its third year of existence, and has an 18-13-1 record over the first two years of play. Steve Triolo, the starting pitcher for the Cougars, went 5 1/3 strong innings giving up the only hit while striking out five and giving up four walks. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the 4th, when CF Tristan Gale lead off the inning with a solo homerun tp center field, turned out to be the game-winning home r un. Eric Julienne and Jared Suwyn combined to go 1 2/3 innings of no hit baseball to shut-out Vanguard in a seven inning contest this is the Cougars second win of the season, and first win at home. SOFTBALL 1-1 IN DOUBLEHEADER BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Softball kicked off its second season in existence Saturday, splitting a doubleheader with Biola University. Biola struck early on in game one, doing all of their damage in the team's 6 -4 victory in the first two innings. CSUSM scored three runs in the bottom of the second inning on four singles, and one r un in the bottom of the sev- enth on a triple hit by sophomore, Erica Coelho. CSUSM won game two of the doubleheader by a score of 2-1, thanks to a complete game, six strikeout outing by junior, Melissa Lerno. The split opens the season with a 1-1 record.

A more grown up Fiasco now sings of much deeper things: Songs like "Little Weapon" deal with youth rebel soldiers in Africa and the things they go through at such a young age. Many of the songs are politically driven and deal with many of the issues going on today such as A.I.D.S, rape, school shootings, and drug use. He even changes up his rapping style in songs like "The Die'' in which he has a Twistalike, rapid delivery sound. Then there are the dark songs like "Put You On Game", in which Lupe raps as if he is evil. With each song differing in style, it makes the entire CD enjoyable. This is one of the rare CDs that I can listen to from beginning to end without changing a song. What hip-hop has needed is a message behind the music, and Lupe does this perfectly. Each song makes you think and want to listen to his every word, not to mention the amazing beats and Kanye West style synths. I recommend that everyone go out and buy this CD right now. It's a must have. A&E THE PRIDE Academy Awards nominations overshadowed by strike tion of Ian McEwan's 2001 novel, also received seven nods.
