At a raucous meeting in Long Beach on Nov. 16 - where student protestors disrupted the meeting by chanting and waving signs trustees voted 9 to 6 to approve a budget that will raise tuition by $498 per year to $5,970 beginning in fall 2012. CSU tuition has more than doubled since 1999, when it was $2,572 per student. Over the years, tuition hikes covered budget deficits caused by declining state support. The CSU's $2 billion budget for 2012-2013 is smaller than the $2.14 billion budget in 1999, even though there are 72,000 more students attending CSU campuses today, trustees reported. University officials anticipate the latest tuition increase will be the last for the 2012-2013 school year - even though the state may cut the CSU budget by another $100 million if year-end tax rev- • Average undergraduate student basic fee (in dollars) '01 s potted on campus '02 enues come up short. "If they cut another $100 million from the budget, our portion would be $2.5 million," said Cal State San Marcos spokeswoman Margaret Lutz. "We have some ideas on how to keep those cuts from negatively impacting students or instruction." She said this may include shift- cuts, growing class sizes and a wage freeze caused by statewide budget cuts. Don Barrett, CFA chapter president at Cal State San Marcos, said the protest drew a small crowd of students, including a few who joined in. Last week, faculty at the CSU East Bay and Domínguez Hills campuses held a one-day strike, the first in CFA history, Barrett said. "We've never struck before," he said. "In the past, we had to threaten to strike to get the chancellor's office moving and this time we felt we needed to go qn strike. I want to be clear, the strike was not over the lack of a contract but over salary issues that happened over the previous contract. The strike reflected the chancellor's decision to not treat the faculty fairly."

The teachers did a flash mob to the Aretha Franklin song "Think" ("you better think about what you're trying to do to me"), marched .around campus and chanted about their desire for a new contract. The protestors hoped to raise awareness about contract issues between the California State University system and the California Faculty Association, which represents 23,000 teachers and support staff at 23 CSU campuses statewide. The teachers have been working without a contract since June of last year, when the previous three-year agreement expired. The teachers and support staff are upset about university funding " Volume XXXVIII '10 ing some carryover funds from last year and revenue from selfsupporting operations on campus as well as using extra money that accumulated when CSUSM exceeded its fall enrollment goals.

Lutz said the university system is now looking for ways to expand the financial aid program to cover even more students.

Native American H eritage Month celebrated with new facility Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer CSUSM opened the California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center (CICSC), Nov. 17, in the Social and Behavioral Science Building to facilitate Native American activities on campus and collaborate with California tribes. "There is simply no other place in California like this one," President Karen Haynes said at the opening speech. November is Native American Heritage month and the CICSC is open to all California tribes including the 18 tribes in southern California. It is a meeting place for American Indian Student Association (AISA) and many other outreach and development programs. "With the opening of this center we are creating a brighter future... and creating history once again at Cal State San Marcos," President Haynes continued. The CICSC addresses Native Americans face a unique challenge in attending college as they most often are leaving a reservation for the first time. This is the first center dedicated to Native Americans in the CSU system. There are more than 10 student members of AISA and they aim to "create solidarity among Indian students...and to meet other American Indians," Tommy Devers, a CSUSM Masters of Sociology student and member of the Pauma Indian Tribe said. "Native American peopled dreams are just as important as anybody else's," Chairman James Ramos said, the first Native American to be appointed to the California Board of Education. Dr. Joely Proudfit is the CICSC director and collaborates with local tribes and tribal leaders to run the Native American Advisory A mountain lion was spotted on campus Wednesday night. It was the fourth time in five years that the big cats have been seen on university property. About 10 p.m. Nov. 16, campus police got a call from an emergency kiosk in student Lot F at the south end of campus. When they responded, police spotted the mountain lion, or cougar, heading back up into the hills near Lot F, according to university spokeswoman, Margaret Lutz. Lutz said it was the first time a mountain lion had been seen on campus since October of last year (lions were also spotted several times at the south end of campus in 2007 and 2008) . 'With so much open space in the area, we have a lot of wildlife that comes on campus at nights looking for food. People say they've spotted deer. The moun^ tain lions always seem to show up in the fall months and they usually always hunt alone," Lutz said. Cougars are native to the area and CSUSM's official mascot. The campus is built on Luiseno Indian laud. The university's original mascot was Tukwut, cougar, in Luiseno. Although there's never been a dangerous encounter between a mountain lion and students or faculty, Lutz said the California Department of Fish and Game is advising students to avoid walking alone on campus at night. If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run (because it will trigger the cat's instinct to chase) but stand your ground, wave your arms and make noise to scare it off. If a lion is spotted, call campus police from a kiosk or from a cell phone at 760-750-4567. Council, the only one of its kind in the CSU system. In six months, the CICSC and its partners developed a Luiseno language learning program for the Nintendo DSI. The center has resources including workstations, offices and research capabilities to focus on concerns and issues regarding tribes or Native American students. "I joined to help out the youth and reach out," CSUSM student Tommy Cooper of the San Pasqual tribe said.

At 7:30 p.m.r in Oceanside, the men's basketball team began its inaugural season with a convincing and resounding win at home over Vanguard University. The score: 86-61. Over 1,200 fans at MiraCosta College cheered on the team and saw guard Tim Steed throw down a thunderous dunk in the first minutes of thè game. Saturday, Nov. 12 At 2 p.m., the day began with CSUSM Volleyball competing at the A.I.I. Conference Tournament in Phoenix, AZ. Having already won their first two matches, the second-seeded Cougars easily blew by Mayville State in straight sets, setting up a championship game rematch with top seed La Sierra. CSUSM Volleyball played again that night at 10 p.m. At 4 p.m., across the country, Cal State San Marcos women's soccer kicked off the A i i . Cham- pionship game. Despite playing in hostile territory, the 13th ranked and top seeded Cougars persevered to take a 1-0 decision with a Kaleigh Dodson goal in the first half. The win earned CSUSM women's soccer its third conference title in four seasons and a trip to the NAIA National Championship Opening Round.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer Poet Clayton Eshleman was featured as the last part of the fall semester's Community and World Literary Series (CWLS) on Thursday. Professor Mark Wallace introduced Eshleman with much praise as having been at the heart of American poetry since the early 1960s. Eshleman has contributed to the literary world through his own poetic production and the trans- lating of poems from poets Cesar Vallejo, Pablo Neruda and Henri Michaux. Eshleman took the stage and announced that he would be reading nine poems from his book "Anticline," thefirstpoem a recounting of an experience he and his wife had in Italy. Following the first poem, he shared that he has been translating poetry as long as he has been reading and writing it. Between poems, Eshleman would often share anecdotes and personal trivia which gave the audience a perspective into his nature as a writer. "I write a lot of poems about art or artists," he said, sharing how if he had been turned to the left or right, he would have been a painter. Eshleman's reading of his poetry often felt conversational, especially in the literal sense during his last reading, a dialogue between himself and the artist Max Ernst. His imagery, at times graphic, led to much laughter in F eatures the audience, as well as the occasional audible "Wow!" Even Eshleman laughed through some his own words as he read. During the Questions and Answers portion, topics approached included when Eshleman started writing, his view of surrealism, thoughts on the future of publishing houses in the internet age and the importance and influence of travel. Dr. Wallace, who headed the series, felt that this semester's CWLS was beneficial for students because he brought in writers normal literary exposure. The CWLS will begin again in who are challenging for students, the spring semester. pushing students away from their No Shave November for a c ause P rofessor S potlight Helps raise money for cancer research Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer Ever wondered why men seem to neglect their beards during the winter? Maybe as their way of staying warm or in honor of a tradition called No Shave November. On Oct. 31, dedicated men shaved their beards for the last time to grow out for the duration of November. Most men decide to grow out their facial hair to support prostate cancer awareness month. The goal is to embrace hair and let it grow to unimaginable lengths. Since most cancer patients lose their hair to chemotherapy treatments, non-shavers can donate the money they would normally spend to maintain their hair to cancer research. No Shave November is less expensive than shaving every couple of days and is tax deductible. According to the National Cancer Institute website,. prostate cancer is "cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate, usu- ally occurring in older men." In the United States, there were approximately 240,890 new cases and 33,720 deaths in 2011. There are many organizations funding research to cure prostate cancer, such as "ZERO—The Project to End Prostate Cancer." ZERO is a charity that not only wants to reduce prostate cancer, but end the disease entirely. Their main goal is to lengthen the lives of men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer by providing them with treatment to cure their cancer, manage their illness and have a life that doesn't involve constant treatment to try and end their suffering. This particular organization offers ways to help raise prostate cancer awareness as well as promote early diagnosis by offering free testing. It also gives patrons a chance to support organizations such as "The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge & DASH FOR DAD," a national race series.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer Websites such as idosing.org, idoser.com and i-dose.us are selling audio tracks which provide the listener with similar side effects of taking specific drugs. These listening experiences are known as "sonic drugs" and "idosing." According to nbclosangeles. com, "Sonic drugs work through binaural beats ~ the playing of two slightly different tones and frequencies into both ears simultaneously/' Many sites, including i-dose.us, provide online shoppers with the ability to purchase audio tracks appropriately titled to the effects they have on the listener. Some tracks offered on the site include "Deep Sleep" which is said to help wijth sleep-related disorders, "Quit Smoking" which helps the listener to quit smoking and "Stop Alcohol Abuse" which helps the listener treat alcoholism. While some tracks assist in treating disorders and addictions, there are also other websites which offer audio experiences that provide the effects of stimulants, both legal and illegal. Experts are advising caution when approaching these audio tracks . "It's not like you listen to an i-dose for crack cocaine and the next day you're smoking a crack pipe [...] But I do think that if you have an impressionable 13 - 14-year-old kid that does an idose, it may drop their inhibition if they're presented with the real drug to try it," addictions specialist Dr. Gregory Smith said in an interview with Colleen Williams of NBCLA. One website that offers this legal listening experience is i-doser.com. Some of the MP3 tracks sold on the site provide the listener with the effects of anti-depressants, inspiration and confidence. However, some tracks are named after and provide the listener with the effects of illegal substances including marijuana, cocaine and LSD.

Well, that poll was conducted in 1981. Sorry if that mislead you. However, I feel a little mislead by inferred holiday statistics, too. Apparently, 100 percent of Americans begin celebrating Christmas before Halloween. At least, that's what retailers seem to claim. Some stores' Christmas layaway began in October; so of course, the deals begin by then. Of course, your family has a large Christmas list, so you'd better get a head start.

Don't let it dictate how you want to celebrate any holiday. \ r Making Thanksgiving Doholroh Hroon Rebekah Green Pride Staff Writer In "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," Sally Brown said, "Why should I give thanks on Thanksgiving? What have I got to be thankful for?" Unlike Sally, it's not hard for me to think about what I 'm thankful for. I'm grateful for my family, my friends, etc. I 'm thankful for the things I have. And the times when I'm not cramming on multiple papers due in the same week, I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to be in college. Being thankful isn't the only thing people do on Thanksgiving though (not to say that we shouldn't be thankful any other day of the year). It is also a time for people take part in nationwide traditions and more personal traditions that transcend generations. -Let's face it. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of food. Needless to say, food is a big deal - or rather, it becomes a big deal, especially once the holiday season rolls around. Foodconsumer.org weighs some statistics: practically two-thirds of turkey from the U.S. last year originate from just six states (with Minnesota as the winner at 47 million) and 735 million pounds of cranberries were produced in the U.S. in the same year. Food consuming aside, Thanksgiving's traditions differ from household to household, but many remain almost universal in the U.S. If there is a football fan present within the house, that television will be on for the game. If you aren't watching football and you aren't able to attend in person, you're probably watching the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, held in New York City, on NBC or CBS. Some people are just anxious for Christmas tofinallyarrive. Others are just too stuffed to do anything. Thanksgiving has come a long way since the 1600s, and I for one am glad that so many people have made it unique to.their own personal traditions and meanings. It doesn't matter what you do for Thanksgiving or who you do it with. So don't worry if you don't have an actual turkey, if you can't stand football, if you forgot about the parade or if none of these apply to what you do. The heart of the matter is to make memories that will stick for years.to come and to take time to appreciate your life*. You. don't have to think hard to answer Sally Brown's question. There is always something to be thankful for. — ;J|pi CASH for your t extbooks, a t Rebekah Green Pride Staff Writer November makes m e nostalgic, but not just for music of my distant past. These songs may not seem like they belong together a t first listen, but e ach track gives a sense of memory, love, loss a nd hope. A rcade Fire's "Rebellion (ties)" depicts how sleep c an b e a n excuse to get a way from the realities of our lives. It fits well with the themes that I get from their album Funeral - the dramatic a nd often sad switch from childhood to adulthood a nd how the w ay w e see things b ack then seem to twist around completely as w e get older. It's definitely nostalgic a nd emotional but still keeps some of the heaviness u pbeat a nd fun. Feist's " 12 3 4" manages to sound happy a nd almost playful while dealing with issues of time a nd how fickle the heart c an b e w hen it remembers love. "A Thread Cut with a Carving Knife" by Stars tells the stories of four different people in three different situations (romantic, troubling, etc.) a nd shows how no matter w ho you are or w hat y ou've b een through, life is indeed unpredictable a nd as fragile as a thread. Coldplay's "Paradise" sparks a sense of escaping the harshness of reality a nd finding comfort in your own paradise. It definitely makes you feel as though you are being lifted out of your life a nd you a re given four minutes a nd 39 seconds to hide a way in a paradise of your own. The Beatles' "Let It B e" is a n exception on ' this list as a song that c an literally take you b ack to the past to w hen you would hear it on the radio or o n your parents' favorite albums. This track is nostalgia a nd h ope w rapped up in o ne of the most memorable songs I know. 14S0 Wmt Mission MrnA San Marcos, CA 92069 98 2668 W e b u yb o o k s y e a r round LIKE THE PRIDE ON FACEBOOK The acoustic version of '.'Hysteric" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a very calming, almost lullabylike song, a nd it speaks of the realization a person has w hen they find someone w ho they feel "completes" them.
