This adds more than $3,333 to the debt burden of graduate and professional students who graduate with a typical [loan] amount." The proposal by President Obama comes three days after the House Republicans suggested to lower the maximum award of $5,550 to $4,015 a move Kantrowitz describes as "...part of a larger package of budget cuts that seek to cut spending by $100 billion for the remainder of the current fiscal year." These significant changes mean that CSUSM can potentially face losing around $7.2 million in tuition. The institution plans to send congress a joint letter signed by three other university presidents urging congress not to approve any cuts. Vaughan also recommends that students "We a re d eeply c oncerned a bout t he p roposed c uts t o Pell G rants a nd b oth t he s hort and l onger i mpact t hese c uts w ould have o n o ur s tudents and o ur r egion .Well over 3 ,000 C SUSM s tudents r eceive Pell G rants t o f und t heir college e ducation.

Watchers of CNN last week saw that President Barack Obama, along with House Republicans, have each proposed separate budget plans for the 2011-12 fiscal year that, if approved, would include initiatives to cut the federal Pell Grant program. Currently the program faces a $20 billion deficit. The budget posted on the White House website explains that the president's cuts would eliminate the in-school interest subsidy for graduate students and limit the total number of recipients receiving year-round aid, while the House cuts would reduce the total maximum amount of the aid. The leaders have introduced their respective plans to address the program's deficit, and CSUSM officials say that both plans have the potential to affect CSUSM students. $3,240 in 2011-12, a total decrease of $2,310. To avoid this, the president is proposing to cut other student aid funding such as yearround Pell Grants and subsidized interest on student loans to graduate and professional students. "Under the president's proposal, the maximum award would remain at $5,550 while cuts would be made in other areas. The year-round benefit typically only affects for-profit colleges, which are more likely to have students studying year-round without a summer break," explains Kantrowitz. Eliminating the in-school interest subsidy will likely have a greater impact on CSUSM students as education begins to cost more. Kantrowitz writes, "...losing the subsidized interest benefit will add $1,676 to each $8,500 loan balance by the time the student en- interested in taking action against these cuts "[F]irst and foremost contact their representatives and let them know that students have a voice and that they be heard." CSUSM Official statement: We are deeply concerned about the proposed cuts to Pell Grants and both the short and longer impact these cuts would have on our students and our region. Well over 3,000 CSUSM students receive Pell Grants to fund their college education. Without Pell Grants, a large number of students may not have the means to continue their college education denying our region a pool of skilled and educated workers.

The way people joined to speak out in Egypt during recent events is a good example of how change can come about.

The most vocal woman gestured and nearly shouted at one of the men who answered her remarks in a slightly edgy but calm manner. In another semester, it would have taken a moment to figure out what they were arguing about, but in the Spring of 2011 it could be nothing but The Koala. Incidents such as that have volt.

Louis CK, Lewis Black, Patton Oswalt and other popular comics thrive on jokes similar to those in The Koala. In my twelfth semester of college (yes, twelfth), I have never seen a campus so alive with passion and debate, not to mention finally a dash of the tomfoolery I expected (a la "Animal House," a film that pioneered modern rebellious comedy). But some members of the CSUSM faculty and student body feel that, as The Koala violates the school's mission, the publication should be shut down. It does not. It should not. The administration is right to cite the First Amendment and allow the distribution of The Koala on campus. Hate speech must be supported by a legitimate criminal threat to violence, and The Koala members have no more history of violent acts than the creators of South Park. While lessons in morality are honorable, students are here to earn degrees and, in turn, make more money. CSUSM's largest major, Business Administration, exists to maximize profit. The paper's content is unpolished, could be funnier and less crass, but considering what sells in the comedy world, perhaps The Koala's writers are Cougars who are actually applying themselves. �T H E K ELLOGG LIBRARY C S U S M ' S C AMPUS JEWEL M ORGAN HALL LAYOUT ASSISTANT With the Kellogg Library being five floors high and nearly 200,000 square feet, some might feel that the library is too confusing and won't take the time to explore what the Cal State San Marcos library has to offer. Students who do take the time to check it out will discover a wealth of resources and a friendly staff that is eager to help you with any questions. Construction for the Kellogg Library began in 1996 and ended in 2004. It bears the name of multi-million dollar donors Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II. Today, The Kellogg Library is home to roughly 300,000 volumes, print subscriptions, e-journal titles, computer files and e-book titles. The library's website, http:// biblio.csusm.edu/, contains research databases, an online card catalog and a live librarian chat, among other services. Only accessible by the elevator or the stairwell next to Starbucks, thefirstfloorof the library contains the Math Lab, Writing Center, and several classrooms. Most students call the first floor the "dungeon" because there are no windows and it is darker than the rest of thefloors.Because it is partially underground, cell phone service on thisfloorcan be weak. The secondfloorof the library can be most easily accessed from the outside doors next to Craven Circle. This particular floor is home to the media library, the student help desk and the open computer lab. The media library has over 10,000 pieces of "media" and can provide DVDs, CDs, VHS tapes and even film editing equipment for research or recreational use. This section of the library has several conference rooms equipped with TVs and media playing devices. Directly across from the me-* dia library is the Student Help Desk where students can rent out laptops and other media de- vices for several hours. They also have separate media rooms available on a first-come-firstserved basis to students who are not media or arts majors. The thirdfloorof the library is likely most familiar to students. This floor is the library's central "hub" where students can check out books or use the reference materials. There are seventy-eight computers that students may use for research or printing documents. Students can purchase and load print cards on the third and the second floors. The third floor lobby hosts a gallery of student art throughout the semester. The fourth and fifth floors are very similar to each other. Both floors contain most of the library's books, have multiple desks around the outer edges and contain group study rooms. It is possible to get lost easily on these twofloorsbecause there are multiple directions of books and several relaxing coves with comfy chairs throughout the floors. On the fifth floor, the Reading Room is a perfect place for relaxing, reading, and working. Lighted tables, several sofas, and a fireplace add a unique and calming ambiance to this room in the library. For those willing to look around, the Kellogg Library truly is an indispensable resource for CSUSM students. •IB Photos courtesy of Morgan Hall ASK THE COM: PATINO ANC RELATIONSHIP APVICE I've known this girl for years, and we are the best of friends.

CHIPOTLE M EXICAN G RILL AUTO PARKWAY & V ALLEY PARKWAY �HOME REMEDIES TO EASE FLU SYMPTOMS FIGHT T HE FLU NATURALLY MELANIE SLOCUM PRIDE STAFF WRITER It's flu season just in time for midterms. If you suffer from needle-phobia and avoided a flu shot this season, have no fear. There are a few home remedies that might make your illness a tad more bearable. You've probably sedh the seemingly awkward commercials for nasal irrigation devices like the Neti Pot (if you haven't, you should definitely Youtube it) where a person pours nasal saline solution from a teapot lookalike in one nostril and the liquid inexplicably flows out the other. Even though this might seem alien to you, WebMD.com reports that studies show nasal irrigation works as an "effec- tive home remedy" by relieving nasal flu symptoms and removing bacteria and virus particles. In addition to the commonly known remedies such as getting a lot of rest, slurping down chicken noodle soup and eating cough drops like they're M&Ms, Learninginfo.org suggests drinking ginger tea, eating foods with a lot of garlic and avoiding dairy products. That same website also suggests that drinking "honey mixed with a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon powder taken daily for three days will help when you have that nagging cough." This will help you sit through your classes without coughing over your professor's voice or onto your neighbor. If you're developing a Kermit the Frog voice due to clogged nasal passages, WebMD.com also suggests using a humidifier to relieve your sore throat and ease your nasal congestion. If you don't own a humidifier and already took your daily shower, boiling water over the stove and draping a towel over your head while closing your eyes and breathing deeply into your nose for 30 seconds creates the same effect. Remember, you're not a superhero. Allow others to take care of you by bringing you soup, joining you for a nice couch potato session, or tucking you into bed. If a friend or family member is willing to help you, take advantage of it and appreciate the rest you receive from their care—maybe just offer them a mask and gloves first. 1 WASH HANDS . 3.

The group, comprised of German students and professors, came together in hopes of restoring the personal freedoms that Hitler's regime smothered during World War n . Their non-violent resistance included distributing pamphlets they wrote advocating tolerance and justice. Holocaustresearchproject.org states that in 1943, the young White Rose members were swiftly tried and executed for treason under the Peoples Court in Berlin. CSUSM remembers their commitment to liberty with a White Rose memorial on the north side of the Arts building. Since it was planted in 2003, the white rosebush encourages passersby to continue the White Rose legacy of solidarity. Students may water it from the bucket located at the base of the plaque. One of the group's only surviving members, Dr. George Wittenstein, selected a quote from the German philosopher Johan Gottlieb Fitçhe for the memorial's plaque. It reads, "And you should act as though all things German depended solely upon you and upon your actions and as though the responsibility were yours and yours alone."

In the first half, the Cougars jumped out to a 1st inning lead when Derrisha Lacey crossed the plate on a double steal, and got another run in the 2nd on a double by Heavin-Lee Rodriguez. But Redlands would put up 6 runs on CSUSM ace Brenna Sandberg, while Bulldogs pitcher Kayla Uphold shut down the Cougars for the remaining innings. The second game looked to be all CSUSM going into the bottom half of the 7th, as they led 19-8. The Bulldogs gave the Cougars a scare in the inning, though, scoring 8 before Sarah Beeman tried to stretch a double into a triple and was thrown out. Rodriguez went 5-for-5 with 5 RBI in the game, while Alex Miller went 4-for-4 with 3 doubles, 4 runs and 4 RBI. HOT Tim THE PRIDE FOR Spring training a desert vacation destination MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR Be they diehard baseball fans, bandwagoners or merely fans of hot sun and a good time, gather up the friends, relatives and kids and head East to Arizona: It's time for spring training. Every year before Opening Day, Major League Baseball players pack their cleats and bats and head to one of two warm American locales to train for the real season. While traveling to Florida—where fifteen teams, such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, prepare for the year—may be unrealistic, Southern California teams play in our neighboring state. The Padres share the Peoria Sports Complex with the Seattle Mariners in Peoria, the Angels play at Diablo Stadium in Tempe, and the Dodgers go halves at Camelback Ranch in Glendale with the Chicago White Sox. Getting to Phoenix couldn't be easier: Head south from CSUSM to Interstate-8 and go East. Past Yuma, both the 85 North and 95 North will run into Interstate-10. The I-10 East runs through the center of all playing fields. The hometown Padres head into this spring training with much heavier expectations than last year. Picked by most critics to finish in last place before the season, the Friars rode their excellent pitching and wizardry on defense to finish within two games of the playoffs last year, falling on the last day to the eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Several new faces will be on hand in Peoria this year. Wily veteran Orlando Hudson joins the infield, while youngsters Ja- son Bartlett and Cameron Maybin look to make their mark on the starting lineup. Old-timers Aaron Harang, Ryan Ludwick and Brad Hawpe have their sights set on returning to All-Star form. Spring training runs from the last weekend in February to end of March. Several games are played every day. Occasionally, teams divide into "split squads," with half the roster playing at home, and half the roster playing an away game against a different team.- If planned right, fans can see two games played by their favorite team and simultaneously experience different venues. Teams have historically kept ticket prices low for spring training, and while the ceiling has recently gone skyward, dirt-cheap entry can still be had. Luxury tickets at brand-new Camelback Ranch are $45 ,but most parks offer lawn seating for between $5-$ 10. Reserving room reservations in advance always keeps the price low, but lodging can always be found at a reasonable price. Road-trippers with deep pockets can take advantage of deals like the "Steal Third" deal at the plush Wigwam Resort: Reserve two nights, get one free. Of course, the first two nights run at around $250 each. Nothing during the regular season compares with spring training in terms of interactivity. Players are closer and more available for autographs, and often stop to casually converse with fans. The atmosphere relaxes, the grub satisfies and the beer flows as it rightly should. Combined with the sunshine and the crack of the bat, nothing beats spring training for Spring Break.

The second game of Friday's scheduled double-header was rained out, but the cloudy skies did nothing to dampen the spirit of the CSUSM Cougars, who were anxious to get back in the win column after four straight losses. Kretchmer was the story, as the tall lefty turned in a no-hit effort that was only halted by a high pitch count and a little wildness. The senior walked six and a ctu^ ally allowed a run, but struck out five and silenced Azusa's bats.

Smart worked around an error to finish out the contest, getting help from first baseman Austin Coleman, who made a very nice over-the-shoulder catch in foul territory on the game's final out. The second game lasted two innings before being rained out.

However, the performance in 1996, the "Vagina monologues do not only pertain Monologues" snowballed into a global phenomenon. They started the V-Day movement, which looks to end rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery around the world. There are now more than 5,400 V-Day events in over 130 countries. The 2011 show featured a Vagina Festival, beforehand, where campus organization came together to hand out information pamphlets. The Vagina Festival also met to support the women at CSUSM and the surrounding community. The show sold out and sadly, the staff turned some eager supporters away, since there was not enough space to accommodate the patrons. "For men and women, this is one of the most powerful experiences you can have around your sexuality, in a public place," Dr. Jennifer Gunsaul- lus, a professor of Women's Studies on our campus said.

Culture, history and art thrive in Balboa Park's rich educational atmosphere and now can all be enjoyed at a discounted price with Macy's museum month pass. With this pass, tickets are available at halfoff original admission prices for all participating museums in San Diego. Some of the biggest features include the San Diego Natural History Museum, Hall of Champions Sports Museum, Air and Space Museum, Museum of Man and Museum of Art. A complete list can be found at sandiegomuseumcouncil .org. Macy's department stores offers this free mu- seum month pass at its San Diego County, Temecula or Imperial Valley locations. B alboa Park is the central hub for all of San Diego's fascinating museums, most of which have suffered in the wake of the recession. This deal should especially interest younger college-age students-who may have free time to spend perusing San Diego's most famous exhibits. This is the best time of the year to visit since museums generally become more crowded during the summer. A public event like this is probably welcome, even if it does involve lowering the cost of tickets for an entire month. If anything, this event appeals to frequent museum patrons but may also appeal to Macy's department store customers as well. Macy's also plays its part to raise the museum's popularity, as it may be expected ; that customers shopping at Macy's who do not normally visit museums may become interested in attending this event. Museum month is a unique opportunity for average shoppers to help support our local museums and experience some fun spending a weekend in historic Balboa Park. The Balboa museums presented extensive amounts of exciting programs recently, most notably an appearance by famous astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, at the Air and Space Museum, which officially kicked off museum month. Aldrin's appearance presented the history and state of space exploration. In addition, Aldrin autographed copies of his books for fans.

Eric Clapton tours to promote his newest release, simply titled, "Clapton." » KINGS OF CONVENIENCE s AMY SALISBURY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Two years ago, when I came up with the title "Hits of Sunshine" for this column, I intended the "sunshine" part to indicate that the following few paragraphs are meant to bring a new light to one's growing music repertoire. Maybe the reason for my word choice stemmed from creating it during the cold, foggy days of mid-winter. Or maybe it was just because I liked the Sonic Youth song. With that said, my present feelings tend toward lengthening days and warmth. So, for whatever this batch of words turns into, take "sunshine" as a little reminder that summer is never far away, even during the coldest of February rain. Plus we're in southern California. We're spoiled. One of the easiest conduc- tors of mood is, arguably, music. It can take you to different time, different places, and different situations entirely. Some even call music their "escape." Well, I currently care to escape from the looming weather; therefore, with my above sunshine and music library, I will turn to "Gold in the Air of Summer." Erlend 0 ye and Eirik Glambek B0e are the indie-driven, folky duo known as Kings of Convenience. 0 ye and B0e started performing together with two friends at the age of 16 in their first band called Skog, Norwegian for "forest." The duo split from Skog to pursue a different musical direction, forming Kings of Convenience and signing a record deal in 1999. Ever since their first album, "Quiet is the New Loud," the band has been known for its parallels to Simon and Garfunkel, and most notably, its emotive qualities. After much critical acclaim for "Quiet is the New Loud," the band released "Riot on an Empty Street" in 2004. The album broke into the US top 50 charts, but 0 ye and B0e managed to remain below the radar. 0 ye released some solo work and started another band, The Whitest Boy Alive, while B0e focused on his personal life. "Gold in the Air of Summer," off "Riot," begins with an acoustic quietly strumming until two harmonized voices complement the chords. 0 ye and B0e speak of a spontaneous journey to a "house that used to be / the home of a friend of mine." Single piano notes form a melody in front of the guitar as a light Norwegian accent flows through the English words; without the music, the lyr- ics read like a poem. The guitar stops, leaving the voices to sing the title a capella. The music returns and progresses like a warm breeze would, coming to an almost cliffhanger of an ending. After five years of waiting, Kings of Convenience released their newest album, "Declaration of Dependence," in early October of 2010. 0 ye will appear with Whitest Boy Alive at the Coachella Music Festival in April of this year, and Kings of Convenience are currently in the process of rescheduling tour dates after B0e fell ill during an east coast show according to an unofficial announcement on the band's MySpace. �" I A K A M l I \ /t D E D c m / M m I V l I IX^ IV - X /X/l1 h r«—K /• JIT I^ I V BRINGS LAUGHS, A H ANDSOME BRITISH LAYOUT EDITOR What do you get; when you* mix a director with a penchant for actionfilms,a h andsale leading man and a populdj young female co-star withstrangely named aliens and % simplistic plot line?

Overall, "I Am Number Four" will not go down in my book as a complete disaster or a complete failure. It could have been better and it could have had a more urgent and believable scenario to push the characters along. If the plot contains aliens, thé writers still need to make the characters and their plights more relatable to a human audience, but again, it was nôt a complete disaster. The effects seemed fine—even cool at times. Overall, you will not be bored.
