A CHANGING PERSPECTIVE
D ONT ASK, D ONT TELL
MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Dec. 17, 2010 the Senate
voted to repeal the 17-year-old
D on't Ask, D on't Tell (DADT)
policy, which prohibited the
LGBT community from serving openly in the military.
The act prohibited any openly
gay or lesbian service members
from being asked about their
sexual relationships and marriages and also banned LGBT
service members f rom telling
others about their sexual orientation. The repeal reflects the
federal government's
intention to make sexual orientation less taboo in the military.
The Senate's 65-30 vote on
the policy was preceded by the
House's vote of 250-175 on Dec.
16. Censure circulated through
Capitol Hill as Republicans and
Democrats debated the effectiveness of the policy and its constitutional alignment. Both California
senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein voted in favor of the

only not decried but has reserved
for his own use in this country. As reports the UK's Daily
Mail, "under proposed new laws,
President Barack Obama would
have the power to cut access to
the Internet in the event of a cyber threat to national security."
While the law is couched in language designed to instill a fear
of "cyber terrorists" and other
threats, it is important to know
that both the Bush and Obama
Departments of Homeland Security define a terrorist as anyone
who, among other things, overtly
appeals to the "constitution."
Despite the governments attempt to stifle the uprising, Egypt

representatives Brian Bilbray (R50), Duncan Hunter (R-52), and
Darrell Issa (R-49) voted against
the repeal while representatives
Susan Davis (D-53) and Bob Filner (D-51) voted in favor of it.
The Don't Ask Don't Tell policy was met with slews of constitutional challenges and political
warfare during its 17 year run.

FROM, EGYPT, P.l
Egypt has never in its thousands of years had a democratic
government. Tadros reflects,
"Egyptians might not know what
democracy actually means, but
that does not make the concept
any less desirable. Perhaps it is
precisely its vagueness and abstraction that makes the concept
all the more desirable." Furthermore, a democracy is Egypt
would no doubt attract fringe
groups who will want to either
disrupt or join the party. General Peters acknowledges that

problem for Egypt is the weakspined support it's receiving from
the American government and
media who are reporting the story in terms of
Muslim clerics praying in front
of tanks. While there is definitely
an extremist angle on the change
of power in Egypt, the people
are not chanting "death to Israel" or "death to America." They
are simply demanding freedom.
There was a time when Americans too took to the streets to protest tyrannical rule and rid themselves of oppression. There was
a time when America just wanted
to be free and average people
took up their arms and started
fires in government buildings.
During this revolution Thomas
Jefferson wrote, "The tree of liberty must be watered from time to
time with the blood of the patriots." Despite the troubles that lie
ahead for Egypt, they are watering their tree. Egypt, like a young
American, just wants to be free.

Just three weeks after the

�FROM, ASK, T ELL, P . 1
Much recent attention to the
policy was brought forth by California native and former First
Lieutenant, Dan Choi, who was
discharged f rom the military after
coming out during an interview
on The Rachel Maddow Show.
Lt. Choi argued in an open letter
to Congress and President Obama
that the policy was unconstitutional and actually hindered military effectiveness, "My subordinates know I 'm gay. They don't
care. They are professional."
The policy was originally
supported by the idea that the
presence of openly homosexual
members in the military would
pose risks t o the order, morale,
and cohesiveness in the military
atmosphere. However, over 17
years, many like Lt. Choi have
worked to discredit this idea and
instead argue that forcing service
members to lie about their identity created more of a hindrance on
military effectiveness and morality while simultaneously perpetuating the same moral problem the
policy was intended to diminish.
However, the repeal of the
D on't Ask, Don't Tell policy has
not been made official. Though
the repeal was passed in both
the Senate and the House, and
President Obama has signed it
into law, the bill requires that
the president, Defense Secretary and Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff must each certify
that the bill will not detract from
military readiness. From there,
the military has 60 days to officially implement the repeal.
Local San Diego Representative Duncan Hunter has introduced the Restore Military
Readiness Act which would require additional signatures for
the repeal's implementation. This
could potentially threaten the fate
of the Don't Ask, D on't Tell repeal by slowing down its implementation and extending the status quo. While the congressional
passage of the Don't Ask, Don't
Tell repeal has slowly opened
closet doors for many homosexual service members, it might still
be a matter of time before they
are able to take the first step out.

The Koala, a tabloid launched
last week by some CSUSM
students, has achieved its publishers' apparent goal: to inflame the university community with hate speech.
"Apparent" because, while
The Koala has certainly engendered impassioned responses, the
predominantly white males behind the publication have refused
to discuss what it is they have
wrought — or to identify themselves. At a recent recruitment
meeting, they would not give
their names and avoided being
photographed; they moved the
meeting to a private dorm room
to exclude critics and news media; and they demanded 30-packs
of beer f rom journalists who requested interviews, which, given
their likely ages, smacks of soliciting criminal acts — and chal-
lenges their legitimacy as a newspaper, as they describe The Koala.
It is The Koala's content
(downloadable at csusmkoala.
com) that most effectively challenges the newspaper
claim. Just about every
demographic — except
straight, white males —
is addressed with violent,
prurient and/or grotesque
language: gays and lesbians, women, rape and pe
dophilia victims, pediatric
cancer and burn patients,
African Americans, Latinos,
Asians and Muslims. The
Koala is a miasma of isms.
Anecdotally, the "rea
sonable person" test of The
Koala's content suggests that
many CSUSM students and staff
indeed find much of the content
obscene — obscene and hateful. But obscenity remains in
the eye of the beholder, and in

More interesting are the test

corn's open platform, an "entrepreneur" who can "choose to
market it any way they want."
Nonetheless, when read content from The Koala, Geller's
response was, "Oh! Oh god!
Okay, that's enough!" An articulate man — and pragmatic
— he disavowed any responsibility for cougarbookrental's ad
and declared that bookrenter.com
"would never, ever, ever" advertise in The Koala. He also said,
" I'm going to contact the owner

The Miramar Wellness Center
(at 858-689-9098), a' marijuana
dispensary, had a slightly more
definitive response. An employee
who did not identify herself said
the Wellness Center had received
"a lot of upset calls, a whole lot"
and that the manager would not
take any more, but she added, "I
heard [the ad] was a mistake and
they are trying to get it removed."
That's promising, but, in the
meantime, what to do about
the privileged young men who
publish hate with anonymity?
Read The Koala so you can
make informed comments about
it (available at csusmkoala.
com). Although the thing is no
joy, condemning something you
haven't read is shallow commentary. And ignorance is not bliss.
Contact The Koala's advertisers to reinforce the message
that their ad dollars are supporting content that encourages
pedophilia, racism, misogyny,
rape and domestic violence.
If a second issue comes out,
contact any new advertisers.
State your opinion of The Koala freely and frequently. The right
to free speech goes both ways:
They have the right to speak and
you have the right to criticize
what they say — maybe even the
responsibility. Hate that goes unchallenged goes on and on and on .
Find some peace in this
thought: What goes on the Internet stays on the Internet, and one
day in the next few years The Koala's publishers will be looking for
jobs in competitive marketplaces
where respect for diversity, social
maturity and the ability to selfedit will be deciding factors for
employment. These young men
have already round-filed their job
applications by exercising a most
wonderful right irresponsibly.

THE POWER OF STORIES
ARTS AND LECTURES SERIES SHARES POWERFUL MESSAGE
NANCY ROSSINGOL
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
This semester's first Arts &
Lectures Series event started
out with a bang last Thursday
night, Feb. 3. Presenter Carl
Wilkens pounded his fists on
the wall to demonstrate how the
killing squad came banging on
his neighbors door. Wilkens's
neighbor was one of more than
800,000 people who lost their
lives in 1994 during the 100
day long genocide in Rwanda.
"Every time a life is taken
on this planet, it's like drop-
ping a stone," Wilkens said,
"and sometimes the little ripples
are hardly noticed when they
reach the shores of America,
and sometimes they grow into
something like a tsunami."
Along with his wife, Teresa,
and their three children, Wilkens
moved to Kigali, Rwanda in 1990
as part of a humanitarian aid effort. When the killings began
in April 1994, Teresa and the
children left Kigali for safety,
but Wilkens stayed behind as
head of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency International. He was the only known
American to remain in Rwanda
during the genocide. Wilkens
and his wife now dedicate their
time to educating the public
through their nonprofit organization, World Outside My Shoes.
In order to bring an end to
war and genocide, Wilkens believes we should stop thinking
in terms of "us" versus "them,"
or "me" and the " other" He
said as a global community, we
need to shift to a "we" mentality.
"That's where I think our
hope lies," Wilkens said. "I
think stories are so much more
powerful than guns [because
they] have the ability to connect us, to realize there's no us
and them. There is simply us,"
he continued. He also stressed
the importance of service as a
way to change the way we think.
Wilkens showcased photos
of doctors, nurses, neighbors
and children. First, was an elderly traditional healer Rwandan
woman, Sula Karuhimbi, her
face framed by a bright orange
scarf. She had kind eyes. One
member of the audience commented that she reminded him
of Mother Teresa. Karuhimbi hid
and protected 17 people on her
own property during the genocide. Some considered her a
"witch doctor," and Karuhimbi
used that label to her advantage,
telling the killing squads that
evil spirits inhabited her house.
"Labels are so convenient,
but at times they are so deadly,"
Wilkens said. During his recent return to Rwanda, Wilkens
visited the Kigali Memorial,
and viewed the plaque honoring Karuhimbi. He continued, "How do you memorialize
something as horrific as this?''
Wilkens spoke with much admiration and respect of Rwandan
women, and of his own wife and
daughters, telling heartwarming
stories of generosity, courage,
and resiliency, and heartwrenching stories of the devastating
damage caused by mass rape
of Rwandan women. Wilkens
called the "sense of . stability," security, and purpose that
women possess the "girl effect."
Throughout the presentation,
many audience members had
tears in their eyes. When asked
why he came to see Wilkens,
sophomore Conner Brown said,
"Because he went through such
an incredible time in history."
"Being able to hear Carl Wilkens
speak is amazing," Political Science major Gabriella Pruitt added.

Whole Foods:
This chain of "health" food
stores happens to be the trendy
store of the moment. Pop culture
magazines show photos of celebrities who tote around Whole
Foods paper shopping bags. According to Wholefood.com, the
chain commits to 'selling the
highest quality natural and organic products.' There are more than
300 locations in the U.S., Canada
and United Kingdom combined.
Whole Foods originated out of
Austin, TX in 1980. The website
reveals the store sells all natural
meats that farmers or ranchers
treated humanely. Whole Foods
offers a loan program to local producers of food as well, because
they believe that local businesses
need a chance to grow and develop. Whole Foods is pricier than all
the other health food stores listed.
The only Whole Foods close to

Sprouts Farmers Market:
Sprouts developed in Arizona,
but expanded its locations to California, Colorado and Texas. Like
other competitive 'health' food
stores, sprouts.com says the grocery store commits itself to selling the freshest meat, bread and

healthier, live longer and spend
less," is Sprouts's mission statement. Their weekly ads run
from Wednesday - Tuesday of
the following week and consumers may view them online
at sprouts.com. Sprouts offers
competitive low prices, compared to other healthy stores.
Conveniently for CSUSM students, Sprouts is located in
San Marcos off of Las Posas.

Heart-shaped candy boxes,
pink and red roses, cards and
ever-present love songs on the
radio serve as reminders of the
upcoming date Feb. 14, better
known as Valentine's Day. The
sudden abundance of Hallmark
sentiments and mass-market romance presents a misleading interpretation of the holiday: that
everyone needs a Valentine or
significant other in order to enjoy and appreciate this day for
lovers. However, since its origination, celebrations and meanings behind Valentine's Day are
constantly evolving. If you find
yourself single this Valentine's
Photo courtesy offlickr.com
U ï VALENTINE'S DAY IS NOT JUST FOR COUPLES
Day, maybe it's time to re-define the way you celebrate love.
The modern observance of
Valentine's Day, which often
includes fancy restaurant dinners and heart-shaped jewelry,
has changed drastically since its
ancient origin. According to History .com, Valentine's Day began
in Rome under dreary social conditions during the rule of Emperor Claudius II. Legend states
that Claudius outlawed marriage
in order to raise a powerful army
of unattached young soldiers. In
retaliation, a courageous priest
named Valentine performed
secret marriages for lovers.
The month of February signaled a time for fertility and purification to the ancient Romans. In
these times, women were the ob-
ject of superstitious ceremonies
rather than celebrated as romantic
partners. The Roman men sacrificed goats, and boys roamed the
streets slapping women with strips
of hide in order to encourage fertility. In addition to the hide slapping, women put their names in
a lottery to be paired with a man.
Fortunately, secretive marriages, hide slapping and pairing
lotteries no longer mark the celebration of Valentine's Day, and
people are free to tailor their celebrations to match their individual
views of the holiday. The predictable dinner and a movie, flowers,
candy and gift exchanges present couples with some ideas for
Valentine's Day, but what about
those currently out of a relationship? For singles, the absence of
a romantic valentine may contribute to a day filled with pessimistic cynicism. However, there are
many possibilities for an enjoyable day if singles change their
perspective. Generosity, kindness
and loVe can be openly and vastly
expressed to friends and family.
If Facebqok love quizzes and
Cupid's arrow can't generate romance, get creative! Activities
to inspire love and show care
on Valentine's Day include time
spent making homemade cards
for family and friends, leaving
encouraging post-it notes for
roommates, volunteering time
and making a donation to charity. Cards, whether homemade or
store-bought, don't have to be traditionally romantic, but thoughtful messages to loved ones.

The University Village Apartments offers other ways to give
gifts. "We have candy grams
and Valentine's for Veterans to
honor and support U.S. military
members and veterans," UVA
staff member Bbwie Tintle said.
Whether the gifts or thoughts
of Valentine's Day cause excitement, dread or indifference, expression of love doesn't have to
be thrown in a negative light by
those who scorn the holiday. As
Ashton Kutcher said in the film
"Valentine's Day," "Love is the
only shocking act left on the planet." So celebrate all forms of love
this Valentine's Day and enjoy the
company of those you hold dear.

SPORTS EDITOR
As the spring season opens,
a f ew Cal State San Marcos
athletes are putting in a bit of
extra time behind the desk.
This year, the captains of
each squad have been asked to
write a preview of their season's
schedule, looking forward to upcoming events and key players.
These previews have been aptly
titled "Captain's Corner," and are
available on the Cougar athletics website, csusmcougars.com.
According to Sports Information Director Kyle Trembley, the
brains behind the project belong
to m en's track and field captain
Brett Campfield. The track star,
a junior transfer f rom Princeton, approached the athletic department over the winter break
with the idea that since captains
were designated by their respective teams as representatives,
they should to be the ones telling their fans what to expect.
Campfield shows off his Ivy

Marcos Country Club at 6:30
Four short essays were u p on
the website as of Saturday, including those by w omen's golf captain
Stephanie Cole, m en's golf captain Adam Loran, w omen's track
andfieldcaptain Jessica Sandoval.
Cole, a junior, shared some
particularly insightful information about the time athletes spend
in preparation. "Every Friday,
we all attend a yoga class at 6:30
a.m. daily, running drills and
playing as many holes as possible
until class begins around 10 a.m.
Sophomore Loran shared
his hopes f or the senior-less
m en's

team.
"Comprised of eight men, we rely
on team unity and consistency
to make it to the top," he said.
Sandoval had quite a bit more
to cover, due to the massive size
ÌÌTi
of the women's track team. There
are currently 54 athletes on the
official roster. The junior f rom
Oceanside offered plenty of inside information on the squad's
organization, and explained to
fans unfamiliar to the sport what
some events are comprised o f.
For example, "Coach Scott is
also composing a relay team that
will either run the 4x800 meters or the distance medley relay in which every person runs
a different distance, beginning
with 1200 meters, then 400 meters, 800 meters, and the last
leg runs 1600 meters," she said.
A f ew weeks into the season,
the baseball and softball teams
are currently unrepresented in the
Captain's Corner. Still, Campfield and the athletic department
have received positive feedback f rom the project, and they
are hopeful to feature previews
f rom the two remaining captains,
Trembley said. For now, the four
"Corners" make up a group of
fascinating essays that are worth
a read, written by CSUSM athletes who are anything but square.

TRACK AND FIELD
UPDATE
Cal State San Marcos, still new
to indoor track and field, sent
nearly the minimum amount of
athletes to the Northern Arizona
University Track Invitational on
Saturday, and therefore had a
difficult time amassing enough
points to compete. However, the
Cougars were not without stars
at the event. M en's captain Brett
Campfield took first place in the
one-mile race, leaning across
the line with a time of 4:22.39.
Daniel Lyon and Armando Lara

OWEN HEMSATH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Super Bowl is the
new Christmas, and the commercials are like the stocking
staffers. While they may not
be the main attraction, they are
certainly one of the best parts.
However, this year, the lighthearted humor that we expect
from America's most watched
commercials was replaced with
interactivity and special effects
technology. A great example is
Fox's preview of the animated
bird movie "Rio," which featured
a hidden clue used to unlock
a mystery level in the popular
smart phone application Angry
Birds. Once unlocked, those who
found the code earn a chance to
win a vacation to Rio de Janeiro.
Get that? While the interactivity
and colorful animation benchmarked a new era in interactivity,
the commercial just wasn't funny.
Special effects also played a
key role. Big players like Coke
spent millions on a commercial
aimed at gamers, comprised entirely of computer animation.
Companies like Brisk and Chatter.com also focused on animated
themes with commercials starring celebrity voices and likenesses like the Black Eyed Peas
and Eminem. Hollywood continued the trend with hi-tech superpreviews for the season's upcoming sci-fi/action films. Movies
l ike. Steven Spielberg's "Super
8," the western-hybrid "Cowboys and Aliens," and the comic
aas
an
book manifestations "Thor" and
"Captain America" each presented a visually stunning demonstration of their product. This
might have been a good idea if
we all had movie-theater televisions, but we don't. Everyone
can enjoy a good joke but these
commercials just weren't funny.
It wasn't like humor wasn't in
the cards. To the contrary, some
commercials tried to be funny but
the punch lines never hit. A few
standouts did prove to be crowd
pleasers and while they represented only a minority of total advertisements, they deserve some
recognition. Bud Light's first
commercial called "The Hacks,"
for example, was by far their
funniest. The commercial mocks
a before-and-after home renovation scenario where the only
renovation in the "after" shot was
a bucket of Bud Lights on the
countertop. The line, "it really
opens up the place" got a laugh
out of the whole room. Doritos
launched a commercial called
"Funeral Guy" where a house-sitter successfully saves a dead fish
when he sprinkles Dorito crumbs
into the fishbowl. He saves a dead
plant the same way. By commercial's end, an urn is over-turned
and the rest is obvious. Finally,

wasn't huge and tech toppled
the rest. The commercials were
visually appealing but the scripts
were weak. We may never see
the funny commercials that we
once expected from the Super
Bowl. Instead, we may be wise
to expect more special effects,
technology, and interactivity that
begs the need for a bigger television and a better phone.

BEN DEARINGER
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
An underwater cave diving team sets off to discover
the last unexplored place on
earth. However, at the onset of an unexpected tropical storm, the team, led by
Frank (Richard Roxburgh),
is trapped underground and
forced to dive deeper into
the unexplored terrain in a
desperate search for escape.
Executively
produced
by James Cameron, "Sanctum" is a 3D underwater
thriller that attempts to push
the boundaries of 3D moviemaking and visual stimu-
lation: a worthy goal had
"Avatar" never been made.
Though visually impressive,
this film's use of 3D effects
is pointless, and it can likely
be an effort to acquire more
revenue, as the film requires
moviegoers to spend $3
more per ticket. Making the
movie 3D is a questionable
attempt by the filmmakers
to boast a more impressive
opening weekend profit.
With the acting performances being mediocre
at best and a poor story
development, "Sanctum"
relies on intense, overdramatized action scenes to
sustain a mild sense of interest. The audience feels
as though they are holding
their breath along with the
divers, awaiting the next
possible chance for a gasp
of fresh air. This intensity
is the only attention keeper
for the movie's 103 minute
runtime, as the first 30 minutes are especially sluggish.
Though semi-entertaining, "Sanctum" is a dismal
follow-up for Cameron's
groundbreaking
movie
"Avatar," and it seems as
though having Cameron's
name on the poster is the
one and only selling point.

Breaking up is hard to do, especially around Valentine's Day.
But usually, it's for the best, right?
The signs of a relationship's
demise are rather apparent. Most
notably, potential break ups are
preceded by the couple not really doing anything together
anymore. This presents an awkward situation for everyone.
People start asking questions, then the news breaks:
the White Stripes, drummer
Meg White and guitarist Jack
White, officially break up.
During the middle of last
week, the news traveled faster
than a 15-year-old on Facebook,
as the blog posts poured in. In a
symbolic death march, articles
popped up chronicling the best of
the Stripes' coupling and revealing that the brother-sister act was
actually an amicable solution to
the end of a four-year marriage
(although that wasn't much of
a secret to
begin with).
The White
Stripes
are
best
described—or,
were best described, rather—as a raw,
minimalist,
a esthetically
conscious
duo. With hits
like "Fell in
Love with a
Girl," "Seven
Nation Army"
and
"Blue
O r c h i d ,"
the
White
Stripes gained a solid following over their 14-year existence, Their* last album, "Icky
Thump," was released in 2007.
In 2009, Jack White joined and
helped found The Dead Weather, a
"compilation band" of sorts, with
Allison Mosshart of Discount
and The Kills, Jack Lawrence of
The Greenhornes and The Raconteurs, and Dean Fertita of Queens
of the Stone Age. So it's pretty
easy to see where Jack White's
energy will go post-Stripes, especially since The Dead Weather
performed at Coachella last year.
I should probably mention
that Jack White is also in The
Raconteurs with Fertita, starred
in "rockumentary" "It Might Get
Loud" in 2008 with members
from U2 and Led Zeppelin and
he has his own record label, Third
Man. Feel free to call him busy.
Meg White is another story.
According to the White Stripes'
still active website, her acute
anxiety often changed the band's
plans. In 2007, the band's fall
U.S. tour was cancelled due to
"health issues ," citing that White
was unable to travel. After that,
the band chose to cancel all 2007
tour dates post-September including a scheduled tour of the U.K.
She remarried in 2009—in
Jack White's backyard, no less.
There has not been much news
regarding Meg White's musical
present or future, but in mid-2010,
Jack White reported to the Times
of London that he suspected Meg
White's anxiety no longer existed.
Although the Stripes are
no longer together, their musical contributions fail to present signs of dissolution. Their
run as a band was significant
enough for other artists to cover
the most classic of Stripes songs.
Of course, break ups are
never exactly f un. Fans of the
band, however, may relish in
their latest release, "Under the
Great White Northern Lights,"
a documentary and live album
of the band's last ever tour.
