E lections Cal State San Marcos' third student election ballot has two propositions, a tee measure, a president and 12 council representative seats to vote on. The candidates are listed below, with statements from the two presidential candidates. P RESIDENTIAL RACE • W illiam 'Rob' Christensen: My platform is to protect the students' rights. First, I would limit the size and spending of the A.S. Government. In addition, I would solicit private donations from corporations to defray the costs of building a Student Union. Furthermore, I would oppose any Student Union fee or any increase in the A.S. fee. Finally, I would lobby against any tuition or other fee increases at the CSU Board of Trustees or at the state legislative level. • Laura M itchell: As your next Associated Student Government President, I will work towards establishing and enhancing a university atmosphere, while ordaining and maintaining an increased level of professionalism j n our A.S. government. I believe it is time for a president who, while being accessible to the diverse student population of our campus, bestows a fresh attitude in the A.S. government. I will put forth my ideals and insights to bring about positive changes both for the student government and to the men and women of this university. A.S.

Council and students. The 22-year-old Social Sciences senior said the A.S. has gotten too powerful. As president, he said he would limit the size and spending of the A.S. Council and delegate responsibilities to independent student committees. Each committee would have an independent A.S. liaison in its numbers. "One person cannot see all views," he said "Wemustrely on the AS. Council's recommendations and recommendations from student committees." Christensen himself has served on the Student Governance Task Force Committee, which authored the A.S. Constitution, and the Academic Policy and Planning Committee. Christensen said he is not against the idea of a Student Union Fee, but cited the ballot's Measure A as being too complex. "I think the measure is too complicated and the information was given out too late," Christensen said. According to Christensen, the Mitchell advocates stronger student voice, club involvement and Student Union funding Laura Mitchell hopes, if elected as A.S. president, to make student government more accessible to the student body. The 29-year-old Liberal Studies^ major, who currently holds a seat on the A.S. Council, said that government decentralization would encourage student involvement and more accurately reflect student needs. "I would like to make the authority of the student government not dependent on one figurehead," said Mitchell. As president, Mitchell would urge the Inter-Club Council to play a stronger role in student governance. She said encouraging student participation in governance is also an important function of the A.S. president. "(Students at CSUSM) are timelimited. We have to make participation more appealing," she said. Because students next semester will be forced to travel off campus to use CSUSM's library and administrative services, Mitchell said students will have even less time than they do currently. She sees a hands-on approach with the constituency as the most viable method of gaining student support. Mitchell said she would like to make the A.S. Office aplace where students can go to air their problems and voice Jljpir suggestions. Mitchell also said she would like to insure some kind of funding for a Student Union Building as A.S. president "Anybody who's forward-thinking would be in favor ofa Student Union," she said. If Measure A, the ballot measure establishing a S tudent Union Fee, does not pass in the upcoming election, Mitchell said she would like to use excess A.S. monies to createa Student Union fund. Mitchell said that a Student Union building will benefit CSUSM alumnus and future students by creating a student-operated meeting place where open forums may be held. Due to the campus's older student body population, Mitchell said the issue of child-care at CSUSM needs to be addressed. She said, however, finding a workable plan for child-care Will be a difficult process at this stage of the university's development. measure is not pro-rated for part-time students. He also said the measure does not make clear to students that the Student Union Building will not be completed for another 8-10 years. "The A.S. should try to defray the cost (of the Student Union) by soliciting outside sources," he said. After seeking outside financial help, the Council can then ask students for additional funding. Christensen said that due to CSUSM's demographics, the A.S. should be made more accessible to older students. He said the answer to the university's child-caie needs lies in public and private sector grants. He said that he would like to strengthen the relationship between the CSUSM Foundation and the A.S. Council. By doing so, Christensen said the two organizations can work together in a business relationship to yield more funds for student organizations and activities. Christensen said one of the biggest challenges facing the A.S. President is gaining student participation. "Students need to have an active voice," he said.

Council member. "It's universally accepted across the country as an established tradition. The club will use the summer time to establish the club, with possible changes. "We may set a little different rules later, maybe a little more fraternitytype rules and not club rules," Calvillo said. Even though the group's activities won't be in full swig until next semester, the group is planning a party for May 2. No details have been determined, but the members can answer any questions. They wear their new T-shirts and sweat shirts every Thursday to get the new club publicized and let people know they are members. Bill Alvillar is president, Billy Harrison is secretary, Husam Riham is Treasurer and Sandy Punch is the advisor. Any interested student wanting to join can talk with any of these officers or call Calvillo at 4574563. I am frequently asked if it is" easy to diagnoseHumanPapillomavirus (HPV) infection. The answer is yes and no. For the most part, external genital warts are visible on examination, although their appearance varies widely somewhat depending on their location. At times health care providers need some aids to help identify HPV infection and infrequently a biopsy of the skin may be necessary. Detection of subclinical infection is more difficult and usually requires special studies. In women, there is a suggestion of subclinical infection in the pap smear* a special examination may be required. Remember, the pap smear test is just a screening test and not definitive. The special examination is called colposcopy. A colposcopy is a sophisticated microscope that allows the provider to more closely examine the surface of the cervix and other areas of the female genital tract. At that time, a biopsy may be done which offers a definitive diagnosis. Once HPV infection has been diagnosed, difficult decision confront both the patient and the provider. With visible warts, most medical experts feel H EALTHNOTES BY DR. JOEL GRINOLDS, .M.D. that treatment is warranted in order to remove the wart itself and reduce the chance that the infection will spread to others. As I statedpreviously, therisk of transmission is poorly understood; however, two thirds of patients will get HPV infectionfromtheir partner. There are multiple approaches to treatment each with its own advantage and disadvantages. The treatment selected depends in part on the number and location of warts, and on the availability of resources including equipment and the experience and training of your providers. Patient preferences should be considered also after a discussion of the treatment option?. However, all treatments involve*somedestruction of local tissue, as well as some pain and inconvenience. Some of the common treatment modalities are cryotherapy (freezing), podophyllin (caustic chemical treatment), trichloroacetic acid (another caustic chemical treatment), electrodessication (electric current surgery with local anesthesia), laser therapy (laser surgery with anesthesia) and interferon (An antiviral drug treatment). All of these treatments are performed by a provider and vary widely in expense. As an example, laser surgery is very expensive. Recently, a new form ofpodophyllincalledPodofiloxhasbeen approved by the FDA to be used at homeby the patient under a provider's supervision. In some situations, this treatment can save patients time and money since although the Podofilox is expensive,less visits to a provider may be required. While each of these approaches is helpful the troublesome news is two fold. First, hot any of these treatments cause complete and total cure of HPV. The treatments get rid of the virus by destroying infected cells, but generally doesn't destroy all the infected cells. The HPVfrequentlyinhibits a wider area of skin than the precise location of the wart or warts. Secondly, with any of the treatments and even in the hands of the best providers, it is possible that the patient will later have one or more recurrences iu which new warts develop. Although the above may sound unduly pessimistic, patients withHPV can take comfort in the fact that the infection is mild and very manageable in the vast majority of cases. Patience and persistence are key to the treatment of HPV. There are many unanswered questions about this increasingly common infection. The best advise again is prevention. Although condoms may offer incomplete protection because they do not cover all areas possibly infected, they are the best protection known short of abstinence. Communication with ones partner is also essential. If you think you have HPV or have been diagnosed with HPV, see a provider who is experienced and has current knowledge ofHPV. Lastly, making good general health a priority is equally essential to maintain a healthy immune system.

As Cal State San Marcos evolves, it encounters some growing pains — some a minor and some others are sharp pangs. Regardless, if the administration and founding faculty could start all over, they would probably proceed in just the same way, minus one factor — the current apathetic student population. U sing a mQre a ctive batch o f students w ould b e the o nly t hing t hat should change if this university's birth were to begin again. Why? STAFF EDITORIAL Because the students continue to ignore the challenges of involvement given to them from the faculty and administration. O UR V IEWS Cal State San Marcos students shine as examples to journalists I think i t's safe to say that the 43rd annual California Intercollegiate Press Association's annual conference at the Lake San Marcos Resort was a great success for those at Cal State San Marcos who participated. Organizing a weekend of competitions, seminars and banquets was a Herculean task that few universities many times greater in size would not have been able to pull off. Yet with only a handful of bodies and an immeasurable amount of tenacity, CSUSM students gave anew definition to the word "superhuman." Unfortunately the community of Lake San Marcos might not agree with this assessment. During the course of the weekend, seven private boats were cut loosefromtheir moorings on the tiny lake, causing damage to some of the vessels. Students were found passed out by the resort's'podside, rendered unconscious from out-of-control partying the night before. Partying continued loudly until 4 a.m. in the mornings, disturbing hotel guests and residents in the area. On the second night of the conference, 12 policemen and one canine unit swarmed the hotel in an unsuccessful attempt to squelch the volume of the gaieties. Needless to say, the Lake San Marcos Resort will never allow the California Intercollegiate Press Association to hold another conference on its premises. Some of the problems could be attributed to the event's scheduling. Set on thefirstweekend of spring break, the conference could have been construed by some as an invitation to cut loose and throw responsibility to the wind. Each year stories of unruly college students getting out of control during spring breakfillthe news. Riots on the beaches of Florida or the streets of Palm Springs are staples for Apn! newscasts. - • . .. • » *f * L ARRY B OISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Of course we did expect some amount of u ncontrolled b ehavior and a lcoholism. We did not foresee, however, the degree of party- ing that occurred. We who organized the conference did so with the intent of creating a stimulating and challenging atmosphere for college journalists. We took our work seriously as we scrambled at all hours to make sure that each event atthe conference ran smoothly and with as few glitches as possible. Yet, for each one of us, there were four others who had a different agenda. Itisinconceivablethat thevolunteered time of the conference's numerous contributors, many of whom are professionals in the field ofjournalism, could be eclipsed by the irresponsible actions of a select few who found alcohol to be a better mental stimulant than knowledge and healthy competition. Nonetheless, those students at CSUSM (in particular Debbie Duffy, Kathy Sullivan and Kimberly Courtney) should be proud of their astounding efforts. With their never-say-die attitudes and responsible behavior, they stood as shining examples of the breed of student typified at CSUSM. As overall winners of the conference, CSUSM's student journalists were held as the role models for many a fledgling college journalist. It is with great honor that I can say they filled ^ toSlis J • id? «s-ric 18 tiffiS Once again, thecall for student involvement went out in the form of Associated Students candidate applications. And once again, CSUSM students did not head their calling. The evidence is apparent when only seven people are running for 13 available A.S. Council positions. And once again, i t's time for another scolding. The administration's and faculty ' s challenge is to provide a quality education in a culturally-enriched setting, CSUSM has done more than its share with smaller classes, inspirational teachers and an abundance of campus concerts, festivals and activities. The students' challenge is to meet the university's standards and provide student services for today and tomorrow. But the vast majority is just concentrating on the educational aspects of CSUSM and returning nothing to developing a true campus community. If a student does not participate, does not get involved, and does not establish an example for future generations, then leave this university. Go somewhere where your apathy could go unnoticed and you can get lost in the shuffle and become the little fish in a big ocean. Go to San Diego State and deal with its small, cramped classes or other colleges that aren't as unique as CSUSM. Those uninvolved students haven't earned the quality of instruction here at CSUSM. At CSUSM, everyone is a big fish in a little puddle. The spodight is bright, but students are not performing very well. Let the people who really want to ease the university's growing pains and assist in the evolution of CSUSM stay. Then the student and faculty communities can work together to form a university with a reputation of dignity, not apathy. There's another call to the students and that's the A.S. elections next week. Last year, a year of much more involvement, nearly 35 percent of the population voted/Live up to that reputation.

A THOUGHT; "The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation." FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT I am writing in response to AngelaLowder's inaccurate commentary on Birthright and other crisis pregnancy centers ("Ad Unfair," March 31). Her charges against Birthright are totally false. These Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers exist solely to help women who are in a crisis pregnancy situation with aid in many forms, including housing, j ob assistance, adoption referrals, baby clothes and materials, labor coaching and finally support as well as many other forms of helpful aid. The centers are staffed by loving volunteers who care both about the lives of unborn children and the well-being of their mothers. I have heard many testimonies from women who have been helped in a myriad of ways from Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers and who thank God that they were given the aid that helped them give life to their children. It seems to me that if Pro-Abortion groups really cares for women (which they don't) they would be at the forefront of the movement to help women during their time of crisis. But they do not help women in crisis, they sell abortion as the only option a woman has, which kills unborn children and scars women. If Pro-Abortion groups were really for giving women a "choice" they would not be so vehemently opposed to those organizations that seek to help women save their babies. Contrary to the falsehood portrayed by Angela, Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers do not "lure and deceive" women into their centers to "force" propaganda on them, but conversely give them the true facts that they will never get at an abortion clinic, including the aid and alternatives to abortion that are available to them, information on the development of their unborn child, and reports on the possible physical and emotional effects of abortion. Any woman facing a crisis pregnancy will find at Birthright and other crisis pregnancy centers not condemnation but only love, compassion, and any assistance they may need. I would like to applaud the Pioneer for running Birthright advertisements, giving women a real chance to choose life. YOUR V IEWS PUBLIC FORUM dents from obtaining their much needed education.

We must be visionaries as well as plan for all students not only ourselves. A Student Union building is designed to give students a sense of ownership and participation on campus as well as providing many services. If we as students do not support our own interests in this university, why should any one else support it? As a graduating senior, I am anxious to participate in the construction of the Student Union Building as an alumnus of the founding class. These early years of CSUSM will set the standards of the reputation of this school. L et's keep our standards high and our eyes to the future. Vote yes on Measure A. P.S. Student Union fees do not affect students receiving financial aid. T ANIS B ROWN/ A.S. COUNCIL MEMBER Vote4 yes' on Measure A I have spent better than 20 years in and out of the University campuses, both as a student and as a visiting lecturer. One observation that always holds true is that th& center of the campus activities is the Student Union. This is where the students like to feel like they have a home, a place where they belong. Even campuses that have a large number of commuter students, like San Diego State or Boise State, offer those students the opportunity to experience more of university life than a private University like National University. The many features that Student Unions offer are selected by the students, to benefit the students, and employ students. Imagine if you can what life would be like for 10,000 or more students trying to leave campus, all at the same time to drive to get lunch, or to have some copying done. Imagine what life will be like for the students of CSUSM in the 21st century without the many features that their student union can offer them. Please consider what a positive decision can have for the students of the future. I know that you realize that the Student Union will not be built in time for'most of you to enjoy , unless you come back to take classes like I am doing now.

The day's business was busy and a large crowd of men, women and even a few kids was heading for a field known as "Pumpkin Patch." "What's going to be your strategy?'' was a question asked to a camouflaged soldier. "What's the camera for? What magazine do you write for?" was the reply. After the standard introduction of Cal State San Marcos and explanation ofPioneer, the question was asked again: "What's going to be your strategy?" "Hey, I'm going to be in the news- paper," he shouted Not if he didn't answer the question, he wasn't. A bout went on for a few moments as the stroll to the next field became more of a hike. Just as the question was to be withdrawn, he answered. "I don't have one." "A i Lt first, there is no strategy," explained Clem Watts. But after playing the war-like game of Paint Pellet Pufsuit, Watts says die need for strategy becomes more apparent. With only two previous days of paint balling, Watts has already developed a five to seven man system. The group travels across the playing field, working together to accomplish their task. Their goal* to capture the flag. Paint Pellet Pursuit is an adultversion of tag, or a toned-down version of war. In this game, specially designed guns shoot paint pellets instead of bullets. At about half an inch in diameter, the plastic coated balls are shot from specially made guns. The pellets travel at about300feet per second and break on contact, leaving a quarter-sized paint blotch. The mark indicates a "kill" and the player leaves the field. The rest of the sport, however, is just like a real war situation — from camouflage uniforms to forested playing fields. With or without the use of strategy, a team must capture the opposing teams flag and return it to his base to win. Thepioblem, however, is while trying to retrieve the prize, the army must also defend its own colors because the other team has the same goal. Steve McGovern thinks the pressureof the war situation is what makes the game challenging. "People learn how to work as a team while playing under stress," the paint pellet veteran said. Watts agreed with McGovern's ideas on team work, defending his strategy. "The most important thing is to communicate with each other." CSUSM's Jeff Henson supports the team play tactics and adds, "Don't get h it" Henson has played several times at the Borderland fields in Otay and Weekend Warriors in Alpine. "I'm mostly a defensive player," hecontinued.'T wait for them to come forme. I try to get more of us to shoot at them instead of vice versa. We try to work as a team." E Lenson, fairly new to thè sport, said the drawback to Paint Pellet Pursuit doesn't have to do with the game, but how others perceive the sport. "Public opinion is notagoodone," Henson stated. ' They think it's a practice of war. It's not really that (Besides) you only get one life in war." McGovern, a first class petty officer in the Navy, said that the people who play like "Rambo" don't do very well. "Rambos die," Dan Marchand reiterated. In fact, military tactics do not work in the setting of Paint Pellet Pursuit. The determining factor is because the weapons, although improving technologically very rapidly, do not shoot straight. Because of the liquid paint and die seam around the pellet, firing a paint ball rifle accurately is almost impossible. There is a slight chance that miliSEE PAINT/PAGE 10 �Forget skill, experience; winning a game is all luck A piercing sound echoed through theplayingfieldastherefereesignaled the start of a new game. Part of my team went one way, another a different direction. I was in the group that traveled up the middle. In the first few seconds, I reviewed the rules of the game. They were fairly easy to remember and similar to any other game — there were field boundaries, two equally-sized and skilled teams, referees and a goal that everyone worked to achieve. My brief moment of game review ended as I approached the center of the playing field. I wasn't quite adjusted to tjie mask that was part of the uniform, so I didn't see the other team's players at first But as the first ballflewover my head, I spotted them immediately.

The uniform consisted of military battle camouflage, a face guard with goggles and colored arm bands. The game ball (or balls) were paint pellets that served as ammunition. The goal was to capture the other team's flag and the object of the game was war. This was Paint Pellet Pursuit I traveled on assignment to Borderland, a Paint Pellet playing field near Otay Lakes. With me were several friends and their friends, a few other Cal State San Marcos students and an array of other war-hungry people. As the entire game proceed in front of me — minus the few seconds I played — I pondered the odds of me actually getting to fire my weapon. If not in battle, I decided, I could at least shoot on the practice range. The game ended and a nother started. I got a few rounds out, but again I was killed within the first few minutes of play. To the practice field I w ent I aimed, fired. Fired again and again. Nothing; I missed everything. It wasn't my lack of skill or my bad aiming. It was the fact that although this may look and sound like war, the paint balls do not fly straight I again reviewed the rules and goals of the game. Skill, talent or experience could not be used in Paint Pellet Pursuit. The one trick to winning is to shoot as much as you can and hope that it hits someone. In other words: I t's all luck. The threatof the players with semiautomatic weapons, full battle gear, spare guns an<l Rambo-typebandanas quickly diminished. Regardless of their ability and equipment, they couldn't have more luck than me. With that thought, I survived the next game without being killed. With two games completed, I started this game in a different position, playing defensive. The next few games I changed tactical locations, getting used to the game and the trajectory of the paint pellets. The real excitement started in game five: My first kill.

Topping the Liquidator's list of companies to be acquired is New England Wire and Cable, a familyownedbusiness that has survived both World Wars and the depression. Because the company is out of debt but a bargain on the stock market, it is a prime candidate for takeover. 4 Mp THROUGH I Hi mm w BY S H E I L A COSGROVE The company's Chairman of the Board Andrew Jorgenson, played by Gregory Peck, sees the company as a manifestation of tradition and a pillar for the community. To help thwart the buyout effort, he hires a feisty female lawyer to save his corporation from liquidation. The battle for power thus begins with often hilarious results. But beneath the comic facade of "Other People's Money" is the darkreflection of the state of American business ventures. DeVito'scharacter,like many Wall Street power brokers, cares little for the lives, that would be crushed by the destruction of the town's major source of revenue. He actually feels the b enefit to the stock holders will override the loss of jobs and community security. This grab-the-bucks-while-you- can attitude has turned many a, thriving steel-town into a ghost town. Hundreds of years of tradition have been erased in the course of a moderately active trading day on Wall Street This might sound like a glum revue for a comedy, but it reflects the cold reality at the heart of Jewison's film — that America's obsession with the almighty dollar is morally bankrupting the foundation of this country. DeVito plays t heroleofLarry'The Liquidator" convincingly and with his usual lack of courteous reserve. Peck's tradition bound company chair reflects the innocence of the olden days when a business*s name was as important as the community. If yourent "Other People'sMoney" with the sole purpose of attaining a f ew mindless giggles, then your money would be better spent with such mindless fare as "Drop Dead Fred" or "Problem Child 2 ." View the film with a serious eye and you will find its true statement hidden among the laughs.

S/26/92 j j �Anza Borrego still alive with beauty, wildflowers Over spring break I spent a vitalizing day at Anza Borrego Park. Thinking that the flower season had faded, I was excited to find the desert still alive with wildflowers. The lower elevations have begun to wane but the north sides of the mountains and the mid and upper elevations blaze with flowering cacti, as well as red, yellow, purple and blue perennials. More than flowers enlivened my hike up Palm Canyon, as newly hatched Monarch butterflies flitted fromflowerto shrub. The canyon still has lots of water. The palm-shaded pools and waterfalls offer a refreshing respite on a warm spring day. The one-and-a-half-mile I trail up Palm Canyon begins in Palm I Canyon Camp ground near the Anza Borrego Visitor Center. From the cool water of Palm Canyon I started down the road to Salton Sea, turning at the dirt road to Fonts Point Fonts Point gives the visitorabird's-eye view of the Borrego badlands. This area of extreme erosion Sullivan's Travels BY KATHY SULLIVAN contains beauty in its stark deadlines. My trip was awarded with something I had never seen before—the Badlands covered with a mantle of grass. Green Badlands! What an oxymoron of visual perceptions. On my way home nature gave me another totally unexpected visual experience. Acres and acres of flowering apple trees dotted the hillsides of Julian while red and black cattle stood b elly d eep in green and yellow meadows. Just like a present wrapped in beautiful paper, my day in Borrego and Julian was a visual gift of multicolored flowers, meadows and butterflies. Before theflowerdisplay reshapes into fhiitandthedesertflowers wither in the hot sun, I hope that you will have the time to enjoy nature's extravagant gift of color.
