This past weekend, volunteer searches continued at the search and rescue headquarters located in an abandoned Escondido warehouse donated to the Dubois by a concerned citizen. "We had a 7,500 square foot building donated to us. We're doing all of our work out of here," Amber's father, Maurine Dubois said in an NBC San Diego report on Saturday. "We have a separate mapping room where things are coordinated. It's much easier than trying to work out of a small trailer in a parking lot." The command center is located at 755 N. Quince Street in Escondido, CA and remains open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday until Amber's return. Hundreds of volunteers assisted over the weekend in the second large-scale search effort conducted since Amber's disappearance. The fourteen-year-old Escondido High School student was walking to school on Friday, February 13,2009 on North Broadway in Escondido. Two family friends reported seeing Amber a mere 300 yards from the school's gate at 7:10 a.m. Amber was carrying a handful of Valentine's Day gifts to give to her friends. Hours lajter, school officials called Amber's family to report that she had not shown up for her classes. "I will have continuous, 100percent hope until you completely prove it to me, there's a reason not to," Maurice Dubois said during a press conference. "I will never give up hope. Amber, if you're out there, you can guarantee I will never stop until we have found you and you're back home with us." On Feb. 28, Amber's story appeared on the popular American crime stoppers show, "America's MostWanted." The Escondido Police Department reported that exposure on the show helped generate tips.

Image by bringamberhome.com as well. Marc Klass, the program founder, is the father of Polly Klass, who was kidnapped from her home during a slumber party and murdered in 1993. "The family has to keep the hope alive. They have to be the ones that are going to inspire others to go out and look for their child. If the family gives up, everybody gives up," Klass said, NBC reported. The Dubois family recently increased their reward offering to $60,000, with $50,000 for information leading to their daughter's safe return and $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for her disappearance. Anonymous individuals and businesses donated the reward money to the family. "[The family] wants to get Amber home alive, therefore the majority of money has been allocated to that end," Klass told reporters at a news conference outside Escondido High School on March 4, according to the SanDiegoUnionTribune. "Butthey also understand that there might be darker scenarios and that that might not be possible." Both Klass and Brenda van Dam, whose daughter Danielle van Dam was kidnapped and murdered seven years ago, are said to be helping the Dubois family with search efforts. "I know this community has come together once before to help our family find closure," said Brenda van Dam, reported by the North County Times. "I'm asking that you please do it again for this family." Though police say there is no evidence to suggest Amber was kidnapped, her parents and family attest that Amber was not the type to go anywhere without contacting them, telling the North County Times that for her to run away would be "completely out of character." In fact, Amber was looking forward to bringing home a lamb she planned to raise as part of her school's Future Famer's Association project on the day she disappeared. "She would not have given up that lamb for anything," Amber's mother, Carrie McGonigle said, according to CNN. "She's a wholesome kid. She doesn't run amok like most teenagers. She did not run away, I guarantee it." In addition to police efforts, the family hired private investigator, Bill Garcia. According to Garcia and Escondido police, Amber's phone was last on for a few seconds on Feb. 14,2009 when someone turned the phone on in an attempt to access the voicemail and then shut off the phone. The phone was not on long enough for police to determine its location. Amber sent her grandmother several text messages and one to a friend before she left for school the morning of her disappearance. Police and search efforts so far yielded little leads. On Feb. 20, Amber's family held a candlelight vigil in front of Escondido High. The North County Times reported approximately 200 people attended the vigil wearing t-shirts with Amber's name and picture on them. At the vigil, Taylor Doyle, a lifelong Mend of Amber's, told the North County Times, "Amber's not the type to not go to school." Another friend of Amber's in attendance at the vigil was Hailey Kosinski. Kosinski described her friend to CNN as someone who is "sort of shy when youfirstmeet her, but once you get to now her, she's the kindest person you'll ever meet." "It's the most horrible, gutwrenching feeling to know your friend is out there and there's nothing you can do tf help her," Kosinski said. "You feel so powerless." The family has put together a website, wwwlbringamberhome. com, that features up-to-date information related to the case, hotline/ contact information, and downloadable search flyers. On the website, the family also thanks those involved in the rescue effort. "We cannot express enough our heartfelt gratitude to every individual, church, religious organizations, and searchers holding a good thought and keeping Amber and her safe return to her family in their prayers." "Thank you for helping to break through the darkness by being one of the lights that will bring our Amber home." "We cannot bear the thought of life without her." �Tuesday, March Viewpoint 10, 2009 THE^PRIDE SEX 101f( Food in the sack EDITORIAL STAFF BDITOR IN CHIEF BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer JACKIE CARBAJAL FACES AND PLACES Now, when I say "sack," I'm not talking about that of the paper persuasion.

If you see me on c ampus, ask me, it's quite the tale. So let's just say that you do decide to go through with a schmorgasbord of food and sex, at least make it romantic as opposed to a pig out session. Just remember to keep in mind that the food does not come first and it shouldn't be the main driving factor to involve food in your sexual experiences. Although it does sound amazing to eat bacon and donuts off your lover (yes, you know I'm talking to you, you manly Soviet man), make sure that that's not the only reason as to why you're doing that. Because chances are, if that's all you want out of this experience, you're probably going to get punched in the face and I'm sure that situation can be easily recreated with a big packet of bacon, box of donuts, and a lonely night with a porn tape (or DVD.. .maybe Blu-Ray, depending on how realistic you wish it were). Remember that sex is still a bond between you and your partner, not a bond between you and a 12oz sirloin. If you do involve food in some way, make it special and use food that is sensual. Use fruit or anything sweet, like chocolate, please remember how your body reacts to certain substances/foods. Keep in mind that couples should be careful to not introduce any sugary foods into the vagina because this could potentially cause yeast infections, for example. If you do decide to pull off a daring sexual experience, remember that your partner comes first (pun intended, again). So whether it be eating cereal out of the dimples of your partner's ass or playing with some Fruit Roll Up, remember that it's for passion. Bon(er) appétit (sorry, immature, I know)! THE PRIDE The pursuit of a good pair of headphones BY BILLRHEIN Senior Staff Writer Anyone who has seen me walking around campus will recognize the fact that I constantly have some type of headphones attached to my ears. I cannot j ustify this behavior other than to point out that I truly enjoy the music or podcasts on my iPod. What I can say is that I have gone through many pairs of headphones and know a thing or two about finding a good pair. I have no bias between ear buds or headphones for I had many good sets of both. One could buy a high-end headset and certainly be satisfied. But I do not know many college students who have room for Bose headphones in their budget. The pairs I recommend offer great sound quality and comfort and will not break the bank. First of all, if you are listening to your iPod, the buds it came with are decent. They are comfortable and offer good quality. The problem is they are more fragile than most ear buds. I have broken several headphones and many of them were iPod buds. Thus I will point out several that are also durable. But the iPod buds are a good starting point As an aside, I would quickly point out that if you have an mp3 player, I would be in shock if it were not an iPod. Though iPods are a bit more expensive, you get your money's worth due to the fact they are easy to use, have the best software, iTunes, and are backed by Apple's service. A step up from the iPod buds are the cheap Sony ones that can be found everywhere from Long's to Best Buy. I cannot find what they are called, but they are under $10 and are the blue or red buds that clip on to the ear. They may look cheap, I was even h esit ant a bout buying them, but they are very comfortable and offer great sound. The only time I broke a pair was when I stepped on them. At $10, they are not a major investment and will last. If you prefer headphones, look no further than the Phillips SHS390. These behind-the-head headphones offer comfort and quality. They run between $10 and $15 at most stores and come in either black or white. These will last long time as long as you do not sit on them or yank on the cord. When it comes to headphones, I like these ones, which only have one cord coming up to the ear, rather than the type that branch into two. Lastly, if you want DJ, overthe-ear type, get the Jensen JHF-310 DJ Headphones, if you can find them. They are the best headphones I have ever had, but the makers discontinued t hem/ They can be found for about $20 to $35 online from time to time. They fold up and have great quality and are super durable. If those cannot be found, try Sony MDR-V150 DJ Headphones, which have the same sound quality, but lack the features of the Jensen pair and have a really long cord. To find a good pair of headphones, be sure they are solid and protected near the ends of the cord to avoid breakage. Try some that look c omfortable, but be sure to keep the receipt and do not be afraid to return them. 1 Classifieds te^mm I Classifieds Laptop Broken?

N ORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com 9 5 11 �Tuesday, March Faces & Places 70, 2009 C ar accidents BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer No one ever wants to get into an accident, so what should you do if you find yourself in one? Here are some helpful tips for being prepared in an accident. Staying prepared: It is California law for drivers to always carry Proof of Insurance or Proof of Financial Responsibility, for most that means having your insurance card on hand. Make sure to have your insurance agent's contact information as well as a copy of your insurance policy. In car accidents it is important to understand what your auto insurance policy covers, so you'll know exactly how you are protected. Are you covered if an uninsured driver hits you? What are your insurance limits? These are questions you want to know the answers to before an accident occurs. Another way to stay prepared is to have a car safety kit stored in your car. This safety kit most likely comes with cones for directing traffic, a flashlight, and pen and paper for making notes and exchanging information. It is also wise to have a camera on hand to photograph any damage, street signs, and license plates of any other cars involved. Keeping emergency telephone numbers, as well as a note of any medical allergies you may have in the case of medical assistance is another important precaution. When an accident occurs: If you are in an accident you are required by law to stop, whether the accident involved a pedestrian, a parked car, or even property. According to the 2007 State Bar of California, if you do not stop, you can be charged with a hit-and-run even if the accident was not your fault. "The number one thing to do is to check for any injuries, with yourself, the other driver, and as well as the car," says CSUSM's Chief of Police, Ronald Hackenberg. "The first call that needs to be made is to 911." If there are any suspected injuries for T HE PRIDE How to d eal either party, notify medical authorities right away. "You have to be very aware and alert of other vehicles coming from behind you, especially on the highway," says Hackenberg. If the accident does occur on the highway, Hackenberg suggests moving your car to a safer location if possible or stand behind a guardrail for protection until help arrives. Put out cones to help other drivers be more aware that an accident has occurred. Exchange information with the other party such as names, phone numbers, and insurance company information. Take note of the license plate number, make, model and year of the other driver's car, and his/her driver's license number. Record the time, date and location of the accident, note street signs, the weather and exactly how the accident occurred, and try, if possible, to get witnesses' names and phone numbers as they may come in handy in trying to piece how the accident occurred. When police arrive, note the officer's badge number and do not admit fault anything you say could be recorded and later be used against you, so before taking the blame consult with your insurer or a lawyer. If an accident concerns a parked car or property damage, you must make an effort to locate the owner. If you cannot the law states that you can drive away only after leaving behind your name, number, address, and an explanation of the incident. After an accident: Request a copy of the police report of the accident for your records. When it is determined who was responsible for the cause of the accident, compensations may be made for personal injuries, car damages and even lost wages, all depending on the type of coverage both parties' insurance policies have. Keep in constant communication with your insurer and speak with a lawyer for any legal advice concerning the accident or making an insurance claim. Exclusive interview with ASI President BY DIANA VALDI VIA Pride Staff Writer Recently The Pride had the opportunity to interview our current Associated Student Inc. President, Alexander Hoang. Diana Valdivia: Tell us about yourself. Alex Hoang: My name is Alexander Hoang and I am your ASI President & CEO. I'm studying Business Administration /Management. I am an i nterna- ^ ^ ^ tional traveler that seeks to bring people together ^ ^ K r through my profesH H P sional & personal experience. Oh and I love my mommy's cooking. Valdivia: Almost a year ago you were elected as ASI President. What made you want to run for this position? Hoang: From the moment I set foot on CSUSM, I fell in love with it. I knew this intimate learning environment would transform my life, and I wanted to make a positive impact on At as well. Many students expressed their personal confidence in my leadership and shared with me how I helped their lives through my roles as a resident advisor, an orientation team member, and active member of various clubs. As a natural advocate, I decided to step up to the next level for all students. Valdivia: What do you think is the biggest issue facing CSUSM students at this time? Hoang: The biggest issue facing students is affordability and access here ^ at CSUSM. The economic crisis is taking its toll on students and the ______ budget cuts Photo by Diana Valdivia have limited enrollment. Parking permit prices and textbooks are extremely high, availability of parking is troubling, and the offering of fewer class sections are delaying graduation rates. Valdivia: As ASI President, what are you doing to help students with this issue? Hoang: I asked President Haynes for help regarding parking permit prices when I f irst stepped into o ffice and with the help of ASI advocacy, she cut the proposed increase by $35 dollars for the next academic year. I also advocate on a statewide level for our students and have led a textb.ook affordability resolution that recently passed and is in the works at our home campus. I've also spearheaded the coded memorandum on shared governance for our CSU. This ensures the accountability of having a student on an administrative committee / initiative to voice the student perspective. Valdivia: What is your stand on the idea and planning for the new University Student Union? Hoang: The USU is an awesome legacy in the process. It will clearly benefit the whole community at CSUSM. Faculty and staff in our administration should be included in the fee implementation, not just students, since it will enhance our community as a whole. Valdivia: What has been the best part of being ASI President? Hoang: The best part is standing by the side of my fellow students each day. To give my best, everything that I am to engaging, empowering, and serving students is a true honor and privilege, Valdivia: What has been the biggest challenge as ASI President? Hoang: The biggest challenge is the learning curve. I have stepped up to this challenge by professionally developing the board and creating an ASI 101 living transition manual so that any f uture student chosen by their constituents to lead will be quickly supported in order to deliver results for the students of CSUSM. Valdivia: Any additional thoughts you would like to share with students? Hoang: ASI is here for you if you seek anything on your home campus to be improved, enhanced, or changed, check out our website www.csusm.edu/ asi, give us a ring at 760-750-4990.

BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Although the small scale nuclear reactor found in a Delorean may sound like a nice alternative for fossil fuels, until we get a fully functional Flux Capacitor this just won't be a viable option. Don't despair as plenty of realistic options are in the works with many already on the road Fossil Fuel freedom includes options such as Fuel Cell Technology, Ethanol, Electric Hybrids and even Algae. Could Algae become a viable fuel source for cars? While Algae may not propel your car with the power of 1.21 jiggawatts, if it can power a 747 it's probably got the potential to get your Scion moving too. In order for algae to be used as fuel in vehicles, it must be processed in a manner similar to converting oil into gasoline. According to Dave Demeqian writing for wired.com, "PetroSun Biofuels has opened a commercial algae-to-biofuels farm on the Texas Gulf Coast..." and continues "Of all the options for future jet biofuel production, algae is considered one of the most viable." In this same article the viability of using biofuels is given credence as in early 2008 "Virgin Atlantic flew a 747 partially powered by coconut andbabassu oil." The CEO ofVirgin Atlantic has become deeply concerned about the environment and is taking a leadership role in promoting alternative fuels. — In an article by Mike Magda on autobloggreen.com "Branson says B5 •¡hHËlT"""^ M Photo by saabclub.com theuse ofbiofuels shouldbe expanded to many industries. Branson's Virgin transportation companies, including Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Trains, are going to reinvest profits into renewable energy, and Virgin Fuels is expected to be a beneficiary. The company was already into bioethanol production and researching other alternative fuels." Perhaps Branson may be looking at the profit potential of alternative fuels even as he claims a concern for the environment One may question Branson's real motivation, but it would be very hard to say that he is all talk. He is taking a very strong leadership role in creating a more environmentally friendly option to fossil fuels. While algae may become an excellent substituteforfossil fuels in the future, other options are already on the road, and more are coming soon from major auto manufacturers. There are already Hybrid Elec- tries, Flex Fuel vehicles, Natural Gas Vehicles, and Biodiesel cars commercially available to purchase. And without regard to the form of transportation, these alternatives to fossil fuels can be adapted to work in planes, trains and automobiles. And don't forget about the possibility of pure electric cars. GM hasn't forgotten about pure electrics in spite of having pulled the plug on the EV1, thefirstcommercially available modern electric car. According to the Chevy web site the 'The Extended-Range Electric Vehicle that is redefining the automotive world is no longer just a rumor.

Tuesday March 10, 2009 BY PRISCILLA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer Despite budget cuts and cancelled classes, Dr. Karno Ng teaches a chemistry laboratory course never before offered by CSUSM. Background Info; Previously, both chemistry majors as well as pre-med students would take the CHEM 250 course and pair it with CHEM 275, a threecredit course including a class and lab. Students who did not fall into this category would generally take no accompanying lab with the CHEM 250 course. This method worked well for quite some time. However, it was actually a hindrance for non-chemistry majors. This is because non-chemistry majors such as pre-med students were not required to take CHEM 275 but just needed an accompanying lab for professional degree purposes. Therefore, instead of taking a 1-credit lab, no alternative was given, forcing them to take on a course they really did not need. For chemistry majors, however, taking the required CHEM 275 in conjecture with CHEM 25Ò allowed them to save time. Lab's Purpose: As a remedy to this dilemma, a new CHEM 250 lab was developed this year. The lab "was primarily designed as a means for students who are not chemistry majors to get a second semester of 'general chemistry lab' for the purpose of applying to medical school or other graduate or profes- sional programs for which two semesters of general chemistry lab are prerequisites," said Dr. Michael Schmidt, the current Chem 250 course instructor. None of this makes any difference to students who are neither chemistry majors or pre-med students, since they can still take the CHEM 250 lecture without the lab, just as before. I nstructor Highlight: Dr. Karno Ng currently teaches the new CHEM 250 lab. Dr. Ng has a Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry and had the honor of being Summa Cum Laude (3.8 GPA average), has a PhD in Analytical Chemistry and an MBA. She was also the 2007/2008 recipient for the President's Award for Excellence in Teaching and Learning from CSUSM. Because of her expertise in Analytical Chemistry and her substantial qualifications, she was given thé prestigious honor of creating the CHEM 250 lab from scratch. Dr. Ng says it is a lot of hard work but this opportunity is a privilege. She employs a variety of educational tools such as worksheets, pre-lab quizzes, the Vermier Software Program for certain experiments, inclass quizzes, lectures expounding upon the next week's lab and mini-lectures the day of the lab to reiterate important points and reminders. "The new CHEM 250 lab will usually be offered every spring while the CHEM 250 lecture will most likely be offered in both fall and spring semesters," Ng says. Lab Response: Students have both T HE PRIDE favorable and u nfavorable responses to the new CHEM 250 lab. "For students looking formed school or pre-professional studies, it's good because it gives you one f ull year so it saves time and it works out with my schedule too so it's convenient," said CSUSM student Ari^ anne Schultz. Comparing it to Organic Chemistry 202, senior Alicia Hart says CHEM 250 is a "baby lab" and that coming back for the lab was actually beneficial because it helped her refresh the material. Both Hart and sophomore Brittney Banfer agree their previous labs ran more smoothly than the Chem 250 lab. Since this is a new lab, many unforeseen problems arise causing confusion. Understandably, Photo by Priscilla George many kinks still need to be worked out. Junior Jennifer Oberschmid thinks "it's kind of cool to be part of an 'experiment'." When asked about the lab size and atmosphere, Banfer replied "the class is small so you're able to get help if you need it and not wait forever to ask questions and the atmosphere is f un and light."

Now, since films like "Saw" and "Hostel," horrorfilmshave become all about blood and mutilation. Real thrills in horror films come from fear leading to the violence, not the actual deaths. This film has potential if it can maintain a high level of anxiety in viewers. Also out this week are several films going into limited release. Though there are several, I would like to give a nod to "Edge of Love" and "Three Monkeys"which appear to be a pair of really artistic films. Lastly, I would like to mention "Sun- shine Cleaning," which I expect to be very entertaining and enter wide release in a few weeks. It is another drama comedy hybrid in the vein of "Little Miss Sunshine" about a pair of sisters who start a crime scene clean-up company. It evolves into a heartwarming story when they console those affected by the tragedies they are cleaning. Keep an eye out for this one if you cannot make it to a theater s creening l imited releases.

I imagine artists In the early 90s, A rthur signed to Peter Gabriel's record label, Real World Records. A fter five studio albums, Arthur decided to keep his touring band around for albums six and seven, and establish his own label, Lonely Astronaut Records. His latest release, Temporary People, includes musicians Sibyl Buck, Kraig Jarret Johnson, Jennifer Turner, and Greg Wieczorek. I clumsily paused the song to see if I could compel any more information out of the slight electronic. I had the entire album, but this Joseph Arthur sounded almost nothing like the guy I fell in love with a fter hearing "In the Sun" off 2000's Come to Where I'm From.

The Lonely Astronauts' chorus punches through the heavy-handed instrumentation with bright belts of affirmation making the song's mood more buoyant than glum.

Come to our weekly meeting Tuesdays at 5pm in Craven 3500 (by the elevator) or email csusmpride@gmaii.com California State University San Marcos University Student Union Student Forums As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20th anniversary, we are exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community. The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility. CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usuA designed to be both educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes. Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas.

If maybe she had called herself or enlisted a five year old, maybe, then maybe, we wouldn't be where we are right now. "This whole trip was your dumb idea, remember? Don't blame me." Paige says to me before she crosses her arms and drops down on a stump in the dirt. I glare at Cole, while Amy and Kimberly play Go Fish in the truck bed. "How in the world is this my fault?" "Well, it's not mine and now Bryan and Tim are missing." Back over winter break, I suggested that we all get together like the old days for a road trip. Paige thought it might be nice to rent a cabin by the lake over the spring break. Everyone agreed. For months, I looked forward to it. I didn't mind mid terms and I sure as hell didn't worry about all the money I would essentially be wasting that could be put to better use like for bills and food. Four minutes into the trip, I knew it was a bad idea. "What do you mean, we have to sleep in tents?" Amy and Kimberly said in near unison. "I mean, Cole forgot to make reservations for the cabin so we have to sleep in tents." I clarified. "Oh really?" Amy said, then leaned over and gave Cole a Wet Willie. Kimberly glared at her. By day three, everyone was ready to cut the trip short and Bryan broke the news that he had to be back at work the next afternoon. The other tents were packed by the time I woke up. Paige shook me out of sleep sometime during the night. Her hair was in a braid and she was in the same overalls and white taiik top she had been in since we left Bryan's house to come up here. She kissed me on the cheek and told me to rise and shine. Truth be told, I was pretty sick of the dirt in myfingernailsand ants in my food. Tim was going into withdrawals not having any phone service and he's pretty lousy when he doesn't have phone service. Amy and Kimberly were about to kill each other and Cole was too full of himself to try to mediate it. "This isn't high school anymore, Evan." Paige told me this afternoon before letting me know they all decided to give it up and head back home later tonight. The campground was pretty vacant. I remember the park ranger telling us there were two other groups checked in for the week. He handed us a map that Bryan used for blow his nose and that's the last I remember seeing it. The ranger also told us something about what to do in case of emergencies but it went in one ear and out the other like when flight attendants tell you about those inflatable life preservers on airplanes. I stumbled out our tent and combed my greasy hair back. I was helping Cole load the boat on the trailer while Paige, Tim, and Amy were playing on the dock. Tim was trying to push the girls into the lake while they screamed and protested. Tim lost his balance on the foot of the dock and grabbed Paige's arm for support. Both of them crash landed into the chilly water. I heard Paige's screeches while Amy laughed. Then I heard her cursing and I knew something was up. "The keys! They're gone!" Paige kept saying over and over before adding, "I hope you brought scuba gear because we aren't leaving without those keys." "Don't be so dramatic," Amy Word(s) \ said. "We'll just call someone to come get us;" "How? With smoke signals?" Four hours passed, which lead me here with Bryan and Tim missing and Paige treating me like we never broke up, attitude and all. Cole leans over to me as I stare out ahead, trying to think. "This is bad, man. What are we gonna do?" I try to keep myself calm because I know everyone else is freaking out because it's dark outside. I know the practical thing to do would be to sleep and then worry about finding a phone in the morning but no one wants to do that. "Why don't you stay here with the girls and Paige and I'll go find the guys and get to a phone."

The Philadelphia roll contains cream cheese and the Alaskan contains imported Alaskan salmon meat, which shows the lengths to which fusion can be used. The prices on these rolls range from $6-$10, depending on what the ingredients are and how much is used. For those who do not see the appeal of sushi, Sushi 101 also offers Bento, or to-go, dishes. Although salmon is offered, a person also has their choice of Kalbi (grilled beef), Bulgogi (barbecue), Tonkatsu (fried pork) and chicken, which can be served fried or grilled. These options are great for those who do not have much time to eat before classes, as they take less time to prepare and eat than sushi. Also, they Photo by Matt Lewis are meat options that are filling but do not cause drowsiness like fried food options. One misconception that people have is that food from school cannot taste good, or at least cannot compete with the quality of an outside restaurant. This is an unfortunate misconception that students carry over from elementary school, when abominations like "haystacks" and square pizza were the best options. However, nothing could be further from the truth in this case. Want proof? If people really think outside food is better, they will be happy to hear that the chefs at Sushi 101 are from the San Marcos branch of Sushiya, a popular sushi bar chain. In fact, much of the menu that regular Sushiya customers love remains intact for this tiny but delicious sushi spot in the Big Cat Food Court. So why not try something new for lunch that does not require microwaves or fryalators? Sometimes new experiences can lead to life-long love affairs, even in the case of raw fish. Jones Soda Blue Bubble Gum Every kid's d ream, liquid b ubble gum BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Senior Staff Writer Jones Soda manages the production of their product in Seattle, Washington. Peter van Stoll| founded what would eventually become Jones Soda in 1987. The company gained momentum in 1994 when the Jones brand name became widely available due to the support from a large distributor. Jones Soda became the official name for the company in 2000. The company began with only sixflavors.Currently, the company has 20flavorsamongst a slew of different beverages including energy drinks. Jones Soda can be purchased individually, in 4 packs, and even in 24 packs. A singe bottle of Jones Soda retails for about a dollar and a half. Finding the beverage might be trickier than finding more popular brands of soda such as Coke or Pepsi. However, BevMo stores offer a great selection. A unique characteristic about Jones Soda the random photos on ea bottle. The pictures ran from a close up of a bee a crashing ocean, and pretty much anything and every- thing in between. The beverage company selects pictures submitted by customers. Making the distinctive characteristic even more amazing is the fact that customers can special order a 12 pack of Jones Soda with their own photo and quote for $30. A slight mist escapes from the chilled bottle after opening the sealed cap. Under the cap reads, "Be an angel. Save a life." The vibrant color blasts beautiful blue rays into every direction. The fluid releases a scent very similar to a package of Bubblicious Blue Bubble Gum. The kid inside jumps for joy as the blueberry flavored soda gently massages all areas of the mouth before passing on. The tongue cannot help but rub the lips as the taste buds excitedly beg for more Jones Soda. "It smells so sweat! It's almost like a cream soda. It kind of takes you back to your childhood a little bit. I don't know exactly how, but it does," said Senior Business major Bryan Spangenberg. Make sure to chill Jones Soda to maximize pleasure. Ice might water down the wonderful tasting drink. Cheers mates! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
