XXIII N O. 6 March 4th teach-in and rally spark motive for change BY BEN ROFFEE & SANDRA CHALMERS Mar. 4-Four distinguished members of CSUSM's faculty convened in Academic Hall 102 today for a teach-in to speak out against the stripping of funding for California's Higher Education programs. Coinciding with the statewide "day of action," an eclectic panel of professors from a multitude of academic fields offered their critiques of the CSU and UC systems and offered solutions based on their respective fields of study. Many students were forced to stand in the back or sit on stairs and in passageways as the room was filled to capacity. Organizers simulcasted the teach-in live to dozens of locations on campus and over the internet, reaching hundreds more who had class or were otherwise unable to make it to the event. First to speak was Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, professor of Economics, shedding light on the effects of cuts to public education as they relate to the economic wel- 1 3131¡ • I pjR hH ViyHfMÈ Émm ¡ É fare of the state. Like an investment, said Dr. Basu, public education is capable of garnering valuable benefits for the public if the public chooses to assume the responsibility of paying for it. According to Dr. Basu, "as a college student, when you graduate, you accrue a personal rate of return, which currently in the U.S. is about 15%. So you are making an extremely good investment by being here because that 15% is much higher than any investment you could make anywhere else." "There is also a social rate of return-this is only looking at what the state gets back from education-and that is about 9%, which means that even for the government, for the state, its a very good investment to invest in education as opposed to other areas." Dr. Scott Greenwood, a professor in the Political Science and Global Studies departments, assessed the political implications in California of the budget crisis in its public higher education programs. At the core of this Photo by Ben Roffee - issue, said Dr. Greenwood, is the dependency of the CSU and UC systems on a volatile tax base bound to unpredictable economic forces. According to Dr. Greenwood, "Ideally what we want to is try to find a way to stabilize the revenue source, not just for the general fund but also for public education. One possible solution is this bill [A.B. 656] that's going to tax oil extraction in California.

The CCR was formerly a graduation requirement for CSUSM undergraduates unless an approved computing course satisfied the requirement. It then moved to being mandatory for all students to pass before graduating. As per an expired campus mandate, undergraduates must complete a three-part exam consisting of displayed proficiency in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Viruses, and ethics associated with software and the Internet. The decision to eliminate the requirement, originated from a recommendation by the Aca- demic Senate, according to the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Affairs. Should students still feel the need to educate themselves on content necessary for computer competency, it is recommended they enroll in CS 100. The course provides a brief overview of computing and focuses on the same topics covered in the CCR. "The Student Technology Help Desk (STH) also provides support and training for students," the announcement said. The Student Help Desk is located on the second floor of Kellogg Library. The staff is well-versed in a variety of applications for both PC and Mac. �Tuesday, M ord. 16, 2 010 OpjiljOn ____rHEWDE T H E ( ^ P RIDE EDITORIAL STAFF C O-EDITORS-IN-CHIEF AMY SALISBURY SANDRA CHALMERS N EWS EDITOR BEN ROFFEE COPY E DITOR AMY SALISBURY LAYOUT EDITOR R UDY M ARTINEZ D ISTRIBUTION MANAGER BILL R HEIN BUSINESS M ANAGERS SALES REPRESENTATIVE KRJSTINA LAWLER M ARTINEZ PRIDE_ADS#CSUSM.EDU ADVISOR JOAN A NDERSON SENIOR STAFF WRITERS BILL R HEIN P RIDE STAFF W RITERS JAMES R OCHE MALLANE DRESSEL KATRINA KLSTLER SARAH G ADDIS O ur community shines in dark times BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer The inconveniences and f rustrations of f urloughs and bad budgets has stretched the f iber of our school, and the recent g raffiti inciting hate created even more disappointment. But the student and s taff response has been very encouraging. The rally against the pay cuts, f urloughs, enrollment caps, and other problems we face because of the budget cuts on March 4 was an inspiring event. I was skeptical of how much of an e ffect a rally and teach-in would have, but the climate on campus that day was h opeful. I was glad to see so many people come together because it is easy to forget this problem is bigger than one individual is. However, what impressed me the most was the protest organized by many student organizations against hate crimes and discrimination. The words scribed on the wall of our campus were ignorant and upsetting, but I do not want to draw attention to that. It is a shame that this happened, that someone felt strongly enough to do that. But out of this dark moment, it was emotionally moving to see the student body come together. Our community did not respond with anger or a backlash, but with unity and support. It would be nice if we could take these problems away. But since we live in the real world, we have to deal with them. There is no longer a need to be discouraged or hopeless in these situations. We have already proved we can come together and do something unexpected. Now is the time to keep tumbling dominos to improve Photo by Sarah Gaddis N eed some c çiicK c ash?

From the Sociology department, Dr. Sharon Elise discussed public education in California as it relates to race, gender, and class issues. Against the backdrop of recent racist events on campus, Dr. Elise took aim at what she described a system of "entitlement" that has emerged in California's higher education. "There has always been something particularly threatening about educated people of color, something threatening to the status quo of race and property distribution in the United States," said Dr. Elise. "The provision of free public higher education is fundamental to creating social justice and equity, and so it is also central to the fight against racial injustice." Dr. John Halcon from the Department of Education gave his opinion on some of the structural shortcomings California's approach to public higher education. Remarking on the theory of "deliverology" and the CSU's "Master Plan, Dr. Halcon said, "I believe that when higher education becomes a privilege, only the privileged will afford higher education. Deliverology is top-down management and anti-democratic." "In my opinion, we can expect that Deliverology will change future graduates from that of well-rounded articulate thinking to competent technicians capable of following orders but fundamentally incapable of thinking for themselves," added Dr. Halcon Rally at Library Plaza Last Thursday began a nation wide protest against education budget cuts that have left campuses frustrated and demanding a change. CSUSM held a teach-in rally that allowed for students, faculty, and staff to voice their feelings and struggles on how the budget cuts have affected them. In the academic year of fall 2009 - spring 2010 students have experienced tuition hikes, furlough days for faculty and staff, fewer classes to choose from and a cap on the amount of units that may be taken per semester. These changes have crippled our campus, leaving students, faculty and staff aggravated, but motivated to implement change. Students are paying more for tuition and student services but are receiving less than in years before. Furlough days have taken 10 percent of student's education, by representing the 10 percent pay cuts that faculty are enduring. Although students are receiving less education they are spending more in tuition than in 2008 when no furloughs were in practice. The rally called for all who are disgruntled to gather together to respond in protest to the current situation. Many student clubs and organizations responded by supporting the rally with hand made signs that shared their feelings of misfortune with the education system. The political science club held a "poster making party" that encouraged students to bring markers and other decorative items in preparation for the rally. The student organization also created an event page on facebook concerning the rally. " Tell your friends, classmates, and people in your community! Everyone needs to know that CSUSM is participating in this call to action for public education," said in the description of the event. This sort of buzz and excitement for the rally and teach-in event was easily generated and passed on to students and faculty members and united them by creating this event as a outlet for expression as well as a movement for change.

This would be the first of five Hate Crimes reported on campus within a week. The vandalized bathroom stall featured a graffiti message about seven b y seven inches in diameter. University President, Karen Haynes notified staff and students of the event early the next day in a campus wide email. "I will not tolerate any attempts to intimidate or threaten our University community," wrote President Haynes.

Activity died down and various clubs and organizations planned a "Stop Hate Crime" rally during U-hour on March 9, 2010. The protest was very successful with staff and students involved. Three hours later, University Police answered the call about the latest Hate Crime: an insulting message on a car regarding sexual orientation. The recent activity parallels hate crime action on othef campuses as well. Lt. McManus confirmed that UPD has been in contact with other campuses and at this time there are no similarities.

CSUSM improves to an impressive 13-6-1 this season. Illinois Tech drops to 0-5. In the more competitive game, CSUSM took what seemed to be a safe 5-0 lead in the third inning thanks to a big two-out rally. With nobody on, Kyle Secciani drew a walk, Matt Jenkins ripped a single off thefirstbaseman's glove down therightfieldline, and red-hot Kevin Silvett drove in the first run with a base hit Josh Miller was then hit by a pitch, loading the bases for Ryle Parks, who delivered a huge two-RBI double. Johnny Omahen then hit a ball to second which was booted and subsequently thrown away, allowing Paries and Miller to score to make it 5-0. With Travis McCracken on the mound, the game felt like it was over, but Illinois Tech responded well McCracken ran into trouble in the fourth, due in part to his own error and a seeing-eye swinging bunt single - surrendering four runs and leaving with the bases loaded and one out Hard-throwingrelieverKyle Smart was called on to put out the fire, and he did so brilliantly, striking out two batters to close out the frame. With CSUSM up 5-4, each team threatened to score, but neither could push any more runs across. Ricky Chavarria did an excellent job on the mound for the Cougars, working the final three innings and allowing just one hit He picked up the wellearned save, with Smart getting the win. Game two would feature no such drama, as CSUSM took a commanding 6-0 lead in the bottom of thefirstbefore recording a single out Secciani drew a leadoff walk, and Ricardo Moran and Silvett recorded back-to-back doubles to make it 2-0. After a walk to Miller and single b y. Parks to load the bases, Steve Harris unloaded on a no-doubt-about-it grand slam torightcenter. The hit parade would continue in the second, as Silvett blasted a tworun homer, and Miller followed with a solo shot of his own to make it 9-0. Meanwhile, Brett Miller was in complete control on the mound for CSUSM. He worked four easy innings, striking out six while allowingjust two hits and a walk. The win improves him to 2-0 this season. Secciani singled in a run in the fourth to make it 10-0; and in the fifth, doubles by Jordan Polchow and Mike Pena, along with an Omar Manzanarez sacrifice fly made it 12-0.

Game one was dominated by Sandberg, who through six innings had allowed just one baserunner. She ended up going the distance, striking out ten batters while surrendering just one unearned run on two hits and one walk to pick up her 10th win of the season. The offense came from Dronenburg, who led off thefourthinning by lacing a ball over the fence in rightcenter to put her team up 1-0. It's her team-leading sixth home run of the season. From there, CSUSM would pick up an insurance run in the fifth, with Elizabeth Bush scoring on a wild pitchfollowinga base hit and an Alicia Ingram double. The Cougars would tack on another in the sixth, with red-hot Erica Coelho leading off with a single, advancing to third on a Ciera Ashman double, and scoring on a solid Shanti Poston single up the middle. The 3-1 margin would hold, as Sandberg worked through a little trouble in the seventh to preserve the victory. Game two would require some perseverance, but the Cougars rose to the challenge. Biola played small ball in the second, taking advantage of a Cougar defense that committed three errors and made some questionable decisions to take an early 4-0 lead But CSUSM responded immediately, cutting it to 4-3 in the bottom of the frame as Villalpando delivered a big two-RBI single that plated Coelho and Ashman, and Ingram then singled in Villalpando. And in the third, the Cougars would take theirfirstlead of the contest Coelho continued to mash the ball, doubling to lead off the inning. Ashman drew a walk, and a base hit by Poston loaded the bases. That brought up Villalpando again, and once again she knocked a two-RBI single right up the middle to give CSUSM a 5-4 lead That score would hold for most of the contest, as Sandbergrightedthe ship on the mound and the defense settled in. In the bottom of the sixth, Lauren Nelson drilled a solo home run to push the lead to 6-4. Sandberg would finish it off; as Poston made a nice leaping catch at shortstop to record the game's final out Sandberg improves to an impressive 11-3 on the season. CSUSM will be back at home on Saturday to host Bethany University for a double-header starting at noon.

Huntington Beach offered the competitors decent weather, and 2-4 foot surf on Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday for the final rounds, the wind increased to bring the surf up to a peaky th 5 feet, and made the surf somewhat inconsistent. SDSU was a dominant force that crushed the rest of their competitors in the finals leaving their score at 162. The runner-up UCSB only scored 132. The surfers competing are judged on their best two waves in a given heat of only 15 minutes, so concentration and correct wave choice are key to advancing. Unfortunately luck can be a variable as well. The team didn't fair well in round one. Kailtin Maguire and Mick Rogers were the last surfers on the team competing on Sunday in the semi-finals for the long board division. The long board division is co-ed, and Maguire is the only woman who has been able to break into the final round in previous events. Her rank right now for the conference is 17th with only competing in 3 out of 4 events. Mick Rogers is ranked 6th after competing in all four events. He said, "I started off the event on a positive note, managing to string together a couple of good turns with some nose rides, but on Sunday, due to crappy waves and not performing the best, I couldn't really put it all together." Rogers said that the benefits of being part of the CSUSM surf team are, "To be part of a team, with people that all share similar interests." He said he enjoys "The rivalry of competing against other universities up and down the California coast." Both Rogers and Maguire see surfing as something they can enjoy easily while still making time for school. Maguire said "School is a once in a iifetime opportunity, and you can't really Photo by Mike Rogers rely on surfing to support you in the future. These days it seems that even the best of the pros are struggling to make a life out of surfing." The team represents the school in competitions, but also allows these individuals to be able to do what they enjoy while still planning for their future. Even though the other team members didn't advance into final rounds, the experience of competing will be useful to prepare them for the NSSA National Championships in June, where they will defend their title. Last year, the team won their first National Title for the school in Photo by Mike Rogers a tiebreaker finish against west coast school UNCW. Scott McBride, who took 4th place in the men's short board division at last year's National Championships, will be returning. For women's short boarding, the team has Alexa Thornton, who is ranked a promising 7th out of 63 other competitors. Last year she finished 6th when competing at the high school level. Laura Thatcher and Summer Meyer are contenders as well, ranking in the top 25. The team also has the assistance of their veteran advisor Amber Puha to help them capture the title again. 11 Keep America beautiful for your chance to f o r your favorite club, sorority or charity Earn your degree in I H education in 12-18 months.
