Faces & Places Registration delays have students and faculty worried ieet the Professor mfalMÄWMi BY MATT LEWIS Faces & Places Editor I Sports Cross-Country I Champs ts & Entertainment Hits of Sunshine Last week, over 1,000 students participated in the " human 2 0" photograph as p art of the celebration for CSUSM's 20th anniversary. Despite the proverbial cloud looming over CSUSM and other Cal State campuses throughout California, t his event shows signs of a s hift in morale across the campus. Unfortunately, celebrating twenty years may not be enough of a momentous occasion to overshadow the continuing e ffects of the diminishing budget for higher education. Many students at CSUSM expressed concern when the beginning of November came and went t his last week without a sign, or even a whisper, regarding registration for next year. Typically, the students who are guaranteed early registration, such as f reshmen, athletes, and orientation team members, receive a generated e-mail f rom the O ffice of the Registrar when midterms roll around n otifying them of upcoming registration dates. As that time has clearly come and gone, students may have another thing to add t o the long list of stressors related to the higher education budget crunch. Like "recession" or "swine f lu," the budget cuts are becoming the d e-facto phrase that practically every branch of the university h as using to explain anything delayed, closed, or rescheduled. "Most of the time, the planning for next semester is done before October," said Joan Anderson, a CSUSM writing professor. "But this year, [the Registration Committee] didn't f inish until the middle of October." Budget cuts or not, CSUSM o fficials cannot simply delay the spring semester, leaving students and f aculty alike uneasy about the limited time to plan and schedule. At t his point, the details surrounding the scheduling delay are f uzzy, but the ever-present excuse of "budget c uts" r emains. Now the students at CSUSM will have to make even more of a mad dash than usual to get the coveted seats in the classes they need. This delay is even a ffecting those who a ren't even students here yet. "My f riend who goes to CSUSM told me to expect a registration e-mail before November," said Brian Aragon, and incoming t ransfer student f rom Colorado. "When I didn't get anything at the beginning of the month, I got worried because the classes I want f ill up pretty quick. Plus, I have to make sure all the housing plans go through as well [...] but w hat's the point of making the move if I c an't get into the right classes? Basically I have a lot riding on it." Unfortunately, the Pride could not reach the O ffice of the Registrar for comment in time for t his article to go t o p rint. In reality, the Committee is not at f ault here. Rather, they ai:e as a ffected by t his changing university environment as faculty and students are. It is important to remember how budget cuts a ffect every facet of university life; f urloughs, dropped classes, limited library hours* and semester unit caps are all results. How much more can the school cut back before it starts to a ffect the quality of our education? Who's t o say that it has not, already?

IVAN G ARCIA FRJSTE MAEVE CAMPLISSON : Viewpoint THE PRIDE M y shrink's column In case you haven't noticed, we passed the middle of the semester and are heading into crunch time. You should know by now where you actually stand in your classes. The opportunities to improve your grades are dwindling. Once Thanksgiving comes, it's a steep downhill r un to finals. I assume that stress is becoming noticeable. It's a normal response to demands that the world is making on us. It kicks us into a higher gear, gets the juices flowing, forces our minds into mpdes of worrying, planning, and problem solving. Many students say they work best under pressure, and this makes sense. Stress triggers the body's "fight or flight" mechanism, and the way to "fight" upcoming assignments is to get to work on them now. But for some, stress can be too much, and this is certainly not helpful. When we have too much stress, it interferes with our lives and makes it harder to take care of business. Our minds become so jumbled with worries that we can't concentrate. Our normal eating and sleeping patterns are disrupted. Some people lose their appetites almost completely, while others start to binge, perhaps in an effort to settle themselves down. Some find it very hard to fall asleep, or stay asleep, so pressured are they with the feeling that there is so much that needs to be done. Others are so overwhelmed that they might sleep more than normal, out of the exhaustion that chronic stress has on the body and out of a sense of hopelessness in the face of all that undone work. This syndrome of being under too much stress often gets worse before it gets better. Each part of it (its effects on concentration, mood, sleep, and appetite) tends to lead to making the problems worse rather than solving them. If 1 can't concentrate, I fall f urther behind or write papers that are of lousy quality. If I've not slept or eaten properly, my body is not at its best and cannot cope effectively with the challenges hurled at it. And as the problems worsen, the grades sink, and the assignments pile up, the stress increases and the cycle can get out of hand. So let me offer two pieces of advice for this moment in the semester. First, because you are not hopelessly behind yet (you're not, are you!?), this is the critical moment to get organized. Take a calendar and enter every assignment t hat's due from now until finals week. Make sure that you see all the tests, quizzes, and papers coming well in advance. Make sure you find time just about every day to make some progress on your schoolwork. The amount of time you spend in leisure activities may have to be temporarily reduced to ensure that you stay on top of your work now. Your reward will be play-time later, with decent grades behind you. Make a firm resolve to get organized and disciplined now, for the rest of the semester. Second, if you feel that your stress level is out of control in the ways I described, get some assistance. Talk to your professors. Go to review sessions. And, if it would help, give us a call at Counseling Services to make an appointment. Our staff is very familiar with treating student stress and can give you some tools to s often the blows of all that pressure. To do so, call or drop by Student Health & Counseling Services (750-4910; location is Suite 100 in the SMACC building).

But this past Friday, I wanted to go out for dinner and a movie with my better half. Since we got out of dinner earlier than expected, we got to the show very early. That gave us enough time to see t he j ungle t hat in Friday night at the cinema. Usually, the amount of flashing lights and advertisements on a normal night is overwhelming. But when we went, it was startling to see all that was going on inside the lobby. We were attacked by men in black shirts asking u s to take surveys about television. And people f rom H P were begging us to t ry their new printers. Both o ffering p rizes wanting personal information. Since we were early, we humored them and checked them out. On one hand, it gave us something t o do while we waited t o get in to our theater. But I can imagine it would be frustrating to work past this crowd of advertisers to get to your seat. And in a way, it made me sad to see the cinema "pimping" out its lobby space. In the big picture, I know it is not a big deal. It is j ust a little unsettling to consider how these people have the audacity to be so in-you-face, and how susceptible the general population is to this media. I understand the cinema is not f ree f rom advertising and product placement, but this seemed really out of place. This was j ust one of those moments I stepped back to see that I have been affected by advertising. N o matter how much we like to think we are above it, advertising has changed our world, and continues to invade. Classifieds Hey$tiysi Do you enjoy raunch humor?

I got my masters in English at Florida State University and my PhD at the University of A rizona. Pride: When did you start teaching?

With the passing of Halloween, so passes the spirit of shoveling mounds of sweet, sugary treats into our gobs and dressing up in outfits that leave nothing to the imagination. Now that the holidays are upon us, being abroad just seems to help further the fact that we might not be with our loved ones during these times of family and unity. Obviously, it's November, a time of cool weather, falling leaves, and capitalism in the face of an impending Christmas. Ah, 'tis the season. So between the time of being away in England and coming back home (more or less about 1 month), what's a guy like me to do without the long held tradition of munching on varying-Thanksgiving meals? This is the first time I'll be away from family this Thanksgiving, and while it may be liberating, it's also an odd change without the giant Butterball turkey, mashed potatoes, or corn (ah, corn). It's times like these when the hidden emotions start to emerge and you just realize, as great as this abroad experience may be, I miss home. During these times, the best cure would be to connect with those you love back home. Not through email or Facebook, but through handwritten postcards or letters. It's these little extra steps that will show you, as well as the people back home, that they're/you are missed. And who doesn't like receiving something in the mail? It's exciting! You feel like an adult with mortgages or j unk mail, which only encourages you to put on some fake glasses and reply humorously with, "Ah, I see the electric bill has come in. Let's see what the damage is." I'm not sure what it is but just reading small notes from friends and family shows the care they put into packing a box f ull of tortillas and coffee mix (thanks, mom) or writing a few words letting you know that you're missed. Yeah, it sucks being away, especially if you know your sister is going to get the giant turkey leg this year and not you. But this is the time to be out on your own and create your own traditions and celebrations. Do something during Thanksgiving that will be memorable, whether it be going away on a trip or sharing this American tradition with those not familiar with it. As terrible as it may be to retell the actual stories (not the happy go lucky, what we're taught in elementary school story) of the terrible things done to the true founders of this land (you know who you are), maybe now is time to start a tradition of bringing people together under a banner of cultural differences and just enjoying each other's company. And maybe a trip to KFC would be cool too (turkey, fried chicken, what's the difference?)

They sample music, patch together bits and pieces to make tracks two hours long, and have pretty cool names. The point is, a DJ's status as an "artist" just isn't warranted the way a songwriter's is. I've already thought heavily about sampling: artists taking "pieces" of songs and more or less recycling them as parts of a new whole. Most songwriters will just take a riff or a break (percussion) to loop while they compose on top of it. Most DJs rely on the entirety of a song to produce material, sometimes in the form of remixes. So, titles aside, there are definitely varying degrees of talent among DJs. On the lower end, we have the guy who DJed your Junior Prom. And on the upper echelon of DJ glory, we have DJ Shadow. DJ Shadow, born Joshua Davis, warrants the designation of artist. His collaborations with musicians span genres and trends, and his solo work retains mass appeal among listeners, critics, and fellow artists. With a career exceeding two decades, DJ Shadow's hold on the future of hip hop is as strong as it has ever been. Big names outside of hip hop call upon Shadow for his fresh spin on music (yes, the pun was intended). In 1998, he worked with U.N.K.L.E. to produce a few tracks for their second debut album, Psyence Fiction. Long story short, Shadow became a temporary member of U.N.K.L.E. The current members, James Lavelle and Pablo Clements, discarded all old material, and the three went on create a hew sound. The list of guests on that album grew to include members of Radiohead, Beastie Boys, The Verve, and Metallica. Don't forget about Shadow's multitude of remixes.

The Bay Area hyphy movement also owes much of its initial construction to Shadow. His home base of San Jose put him at the center of development in the early 90s. When hyphy came to national attention in the mid 2000s, a documentary featured Shadow along with several other musicians supportive of the movement, including founder, Keak Da Sneak. Shadow's debut album, Endtroducing..., remains a stepping-stone within his niche. Released in 1996, Guinness World Records recognized it as the first album created solely from music sampling in 2001. Innovative and daring, Endtroducing... includes an overwhelming amount of artists to create an entirely new sound and feeling unique to Shadow. Rumors purport that a shift in Shadow's work will be apparent with the release of new work. With that, the DJing world will inevitably shift with it.

Come stare at the Men Who Stare at Goats in a theater near you! BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer "The Men Who Stare at Goats," which opened Nov. 6, 2009, starred Ewan McGregor as a very different type of Jedi than viewers have seen him portray before. McGregor plays Bob Wilton, a down oii his luck journalist who travels to Kuwait to sniff out a story. While there, he runs into Lin "Skip" Cassidy, played by George Clooney, who introduces him to "The New Earth Army" which is a unit of the army aimed to find alternative and non-violent forms of combat such as psychic power and Jedi-like mental manipulation. In flashbacks, the camouflaged soldiers practiced yoga, grew out long hair, exchanged flowers, and danced to Billy Idol as part of their training. Skip explains the history, fall, and rebuilding of this program to Bob as they head through sand dunes and war zones on what seems to be a wild goose chase, or more literally, a wild goat chase. The most enjoyable part of this film is the healthy mixture of dry satire and slapstick humor. The dialogue is simply phenomenal, and the chemistry between McGregor as a serious journalist and Clooney as a whimsical, yet serious "Jedi Warrior" is spot on. Surprisingly, McGregor never breaks the fourth wall with quite a few instances of quoting lines from "Star Wars" movies in which he played the young Obi Wan Kenobi. The humor comes from the context and delivery of lines, and it is never self-referen- tial. George Clooney is always very entertaining to watch, and although many of his fast-talking alpha-male characters tend to be somewhat static, this film really delves into Skip's memories, ethical conflicts, beliefs, and his growth over time. Flashbacks make up a large portion of this movie, and they range from heart touching to sidesplitting, but some of them drag on too long for the pacing of the plot. At times, the flashback goes on for so long that the viewer may forget where the characters are in the present. The opening scenes, a title screen claims "more of this is true than you'd believe." This may seem laughable in that it is basically a movie about men staring so hard at goats that their hearts actually stop. However, when it comes to issues such as maturity, disappointment, budding friendships, and personal ethics, the movie is indeed very true to life. This movie is completely hilari- ous from the wacky visuals to the sly writing, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a few hearty belly laughs complete wijh a side of emotion and inspiration. flow like few other films. At least it did for me. I went in well warned and still it hit hard. The film has very much to recommend, like "Yesterday" on all levels. In this film, there is not only great cinematography but also some scenes that will take your breath awayfromtheir fairytale surrealism. The scenes take the viewers back in time of simple summer love that grows into something extraordinary. The one potentially weak aspect of the film was the slow and, what I felt, plodding start. Most great films don't seem to risk potentially losing viewers early on, but the risk pays off handsomely in this film. Irffect, the emotion builds steadily throughout the entire film like a locomotive, and then unloads on you all at once. This is a knockout piece. If you know love, then this film is a must see. If you don't know love, then watch this film and you will. What to See***** "Thelma and Louise" is a galpal movie starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. Yes, as a movie reviewer (of age), I should have seen this film long before now, but being married assures that no chick flick goes unviewed. Chick Flick is not a derogatory term, it just delineates that die film is geared to a female audience, just as Jackie Chan films are aimed afguys. Once again, this is a top-flight production with great performances by the leading ladies, and great support from Harvey Keitel. It seems that this film has developed not only a cult following, but has grown to reach nearly mythological proportions as a tour de force for empowering women. It runs the range of emotions from serious to giddy, and even ventures into campy waters at times. Perhaps the one thing that does tie these three films tightly together is the impression they will each emblazon on your memory. So take your friends' hands and take a fly at these three greatfilms.What to See **** Image courtesy of Overture Films W hat to see on DVD BY BLAINE HMOGIL Pride Staff Writer How does one present movies filled with sadness and make them desirable to see? Perhaps by trying to lode at the silver lining and these films contain that silver lining, but I'll leave it to you to find them This wedi, these threefilmswould be difficult to categorize other than to say they are excellent. Although they share sadness, they diverge in many other ways. Some believe that to truly appreciate joy one must truly experience sorrow. So if you want to watch some movies to get you happy, here we go. "Yesterday" is a story about the title character, a South African woman, and her struggles to get by in a remote village. By our standards of living, her standard is poor at best, but we should seefromher strength and joyous outlook on life, that maybe her standard of living is not poor in contrast to ours, only different She hasayoung daughter named Beauty and a husband who works far away in a mine to support the family. The story takes a hard look at AIDS and HIV in South Africa and provides what seems an honest, albeit harsh, look at the problem. All aspects of this film excel, from the screenplay to the acting, cinematography, to the story itself. There are no weak points to this film. For that reason, it is well worth watching, but if you look for the deeper meaning, buried just below the surface, you will berichlyrewarded What to See**** "The Notebook," starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams will touch you in ways and make the tears pcrfEi • HilMMMNi Image courtesy of New Line Cinema � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
