remains on course to win
R ecycleMania for sixth y ear in a row
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is currently set to win its sixth title in
as many years in the international
recycling competition RecycleMania.
CSUSM leads this year's competition, which finishes on March
27, since week one, according
to Carl Hanson, an Administrative Analyst at CSUSM. "We're
doing well/' said Hanson, coordinator for the recycling campaign.
"We started out in the lead and
the lead has shrunk a little bit but
were still up by good seven, seven
and a half points, and we're hopeful that we'll continue to do well
enough to come in ahead."

The results of the competition
are announced in mid-April, once
all the participants have sent in
their data, according to recyclemania.org.
Universities and colleges compete against each other over a
10-week period to see which
has the best recycling program.
RecycleMania ranks participants
according to which category they
entef. These categories include
most recyclables per capita, the
highest amount of recyclables, the
least amount of trash per capita,

recycling rate. For more information about the event go to www.
recyclemania.org.
CSUSM enters the highest recycle rate category and holds the title
of Grand Champion for the past
five years in a row.
Hanson said the reason he feels
the campus has done so well over
the years is down to good planning. "First of all, when this university was established, we began
the recycling program at the same
time. So when everybody got their
trash containers they got blue
ones. So from the very beginning
in the offices and the classrooms
everybody saw that you can recycle and it was just a given.
"It was like putting your seatbelt on. You just do it," Hanson
saidv
Recycle bins are located all over
the campus and are placed next to
trash containers. They are color
coded and labeled to avoid confusion between the twoT

ASI makes safety a priority for Spring Break fun
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Arts & Entertainment
3 D Experience
On Thursday, March 18 during
U-Hour, ASI held an event to promote the concept that students
can have fun during spring break
while still keeping their safety in
mind. Booths supplied information about alcohol consumption,
sexual protection, transportation,
and activities associated with
spring break.
At the event the mock-tails of
Screwdrivers, and Shirley Temples, gave the students not only
a refreshment to enjoy with their
Chick-Fil-A but informative facts
about alcohol's effects on the
body. Students who pledged not
to drink and drive during spring
break received free chicken sandwiches. Those who pledged also
wore a bracelet, showing other
students through out the day that
they had made the pledge.
When student Stevie Perez was
asked about the pledge he made,
he said, "It's a great reminder. I
will keep the pledge bracelet on to
remind me not to drink and drive,
and to remember to not let my
own friends drink and drive."
At the mock-tail booth, volunteers supplied pamphlets on
alcohol poisoning, and information about designated drivers. The
booth also promoted the RADD
program, where designated drivers supplying the pledge card with
the RADD logo would receive
free non-alcoholic beverages at
the 23 participating bars in the
Pacific Beach and Mission Beach
area.
If students are staying local,
the event promoted the Breeze
Sprinter as a transportation alternative to driving. The Sprinter can
transport drinking students safely
to the popular areas by the beach,
Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Unfortunately, the Sprinter's last pick
up from Oceanside is an early

Chatroulette will replace
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
I have a strong feeling Chatroulette will
be the next big social
networking
website. The site, found
at
chatroulette.com,
incorporates one-onone instant messaging and video chat in a new way
that could re-revolutionize online
interaction.
Chatroulette, which launched
in late 2009, is now generating
high traffic in the US and around
the world, according to the tracking company Alexa. I think part
of this newfound interest can be
attributed to the press it received
about the some users exploit the
video feature for sexual purposes.
The website could easily launch
itself among the ranks of Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace by
changing its anonymous, instant
action set up t o a site that requires
users to create ,a profile, like the
aforementioned network sites.
This addition of profiles would
have two radical consequences.
First, it would allow users to
stay connected and chat with
friends, similar to Skype or
AIM, but still let them meet new
people, who could be àdded as
friends. This would result in a
personal touch for
users to enjoy.
Second, it would
decrease the amount
of sexual deviants that
lurk the website. Website moderators could
ban and block profiles of users who act
explicitly and expose
themselves on camera.
I have estimated it is roughly
ten percent of users who do
explicit acts to give the website a
bad reputation, and if moderators
eliminated them, Chatroulette
would flourish. Facebook and
Twitter
and Facebook
MySpace have already proven
that people enjoy staying connected with friends using profile
systems.
By also allowing users to connect with strangers, Chatroulette
could be part of the movement
that earned the Internet a nomination for the Noble Peace Prize,
The committee cited the openness of Internet communication
around the world has allowed for
ideas to be shared in a way that
could bring global unity.
Since using Chatroulette, I
have met people f rom Sweden,
Korea, South A frica, and China,
j ust to n ame a few countries.
This experience humanizes
people f rom d ifferent countries,
and it reemphasizes the sentiment that we are not that different, despite what country we live
in.
Lastly, I have a hunch that
Facebook w ill soon have a similar video interaction feature.
Facebook, which managed to
keep Twitter f rom overtaking it
by the changing t he the set up
f or status u pdates, might add a
Chatroulette-clone f eature as
a application. Either way, the
global implications a re exciting.

The competition started in 2001
with just two schools, Ohio University and Miami University, and
it now covers over 600^schools,
including international participants in Canada and Qatar. The
growth of RecycleMania can be
further illustrated since such large
corporations as Coca Cola now
sponsor it.
CSUSM also recycles construction materials like metals,
tiles and wood as well as green
waste and hazardous waste like
lamps. The next step for the
university is to create a composting program to deal with
the food service areas. This
extra work will not affect the
results of the competition, said
Hanson.
Many students at the event
believed that the purpose of the
event, safety while having fun,
was great to have right before
spring break, but some students
thought that the purpose of the
event was not being fully repre-
sented.
Student Akeisa Abercrombie
commented about how influential the event was actually on students. "They are giving awareness, it's not enough, but at least
they're taking the initiative to help
people make smart decisions."
The event may not be enough
to guarantee that every student
will have a safe Spring Break,
but it definitely was presented to
enough students to make a difference.
House of Representatives approves sweeping health care overhaul
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
A year long debate on health
care in America has come to an
end as House Democrats passed
legislation this last weekend
to fundamentally overhaul the
nation's health care system in the
coming decades. President Obama
is expected to sign the legislation
on Tuesday, marking the end
of a drawn out and polarizing
public debate that has divided
Republicans and Democrats
across the country. The overhaul
is expected to provide coverage to
32 million uninsured Americans
by 2019.
The reform legislation is
comprised of two separate bills,
the Health Care and Education
Affordability Reconciliation Act
of 2010 (H.R. 4872) and the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care
Act (H.R. 3950). Both bills passed
with a vote of 219-212, a narrow
victory buoyed by a majority
coalition of House Democrats.
The
House
Republicans
unanimously
opposed
the
legislation, an indicator of a
lasting partisan divide on the
issue that has come to dominate
the debate.
To secure support from
wavering Democrats, advocates of
the legislation were forced to make
some key concessions, abandoning
ambitions for a governmentrun insurance program and
prohibiting the use of federal
funds for abortions. Republicans
unanimously
opposed
the
legislation, indicating the partisan
nature of the health care overhaul
debate.
Under the new legislation,
Insurance
companies
will
no longer be allowed to deny
coverage to individuals based
on pre-existing conditions and
will eventually be barred from
charging higher premiums or
canceling services for these
individuals. The overhaul also
also includes requirements for
workers to insure their employees
and citizens to obtain insurance,
instituting steep fines for failures
to comply.
LastThursdaytheCongressional
Budget Office (CBO) placed
the cost of the overhaul at $940
billion in the first ten years, with
a $138 billion reduction in
the deficit during that
time. The CBO
also projected
a
potential
reduction of the
deficit by as much as one
half percent of the GDP in
the subsequent decade.
President Obama

Solidarity vs. Ignorance:
Uniting Against Anti-Indian Assignments at CSUSM
commented on the passage of
the reforms, saying, "Congress
finally declared that America's
workers, America's families,
and America's small businesses
deserve the security of knowing
that here in this country, neither
illness nor accident should
endanger the dreams they've
worked a lifetime to achieve."
House Minority leader,
Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio),
expressed his frustration with
the bill just before it went
to a vote, saying, "In
this
economy,
with
this,
unemployment,
with our desperate
for jobs and
economic growth, is this
really the time to raise
taxes, create bureaucracies
and, and burden every job
creator in our land? The
answer is no."

Foolproof foundations for easier packing a nd travel
BY AMY SALISBURY
Editor-in-Chief
Luggage can make or break a trip.
Most major airlines charge a fee to
check only one bag. Public transportation is a potential nightmare when
you're lugging 50 extra pounds of
stuff around with you. "Backpackfag" is redefined when your pack is
too big to carry on your back. With
some planning and paring down,
your pack and mood will improve.
The first failure of persistent
over-packers is that they do not plan
ahead. Making lists isn't just for
the obsessive compulsive anymore.
Lists help you prioritize what items
__
you need verses what items
are most
used.
Student Katie Freligh combats
common problems when she packs
her bags.
"I always want to pack too much,"
Frelighsaid, "because I never know
what to packjust to cover the basics."
Think about the type of trip you're
planning and pack for it. For example, most hotels have blow dryers,
saving you the extra five pounds of
weight a blow dryer would add. Opt
for versatile casual shoes or sneakers
instead of shoes for every occasion.
Do you need that giant North Face
coat? Pack your warmest sweatshirt
and sacrifice some shivers.
Remember to consider whether
you will have access to laundry
services or Laundromats. Besides
remembering to pack plenty of quarters, think about the number of each
item you should bring. Instead of
three jeans and two shorts, pack one
pair of each, and alternate your items
until you get a chance to wash your
clothes.
Senior Shannon Brogan suggested
an alternative to the traditional trifold for clothes.
"Roll your shirts and pants, and sit
on [the bag] if you have to," she said,
"I'm pretty good;at getting everything in a carry-on."
The kind of bag you use is as
important as what goes in it Doug
Dyment, "The Go Light Guru,"
offers three aspects to take into
account when choosing luggage:
quality, transportability, and airline
carry-on limits.
Dyment said, "you want a bag
that's no laiger than carry-on
size with soft sides and sturdy construction.
"Soft-sided luggage is much to be
preferred over the hard^shelled variety. Hard bags are heavier and do
not cope with therigorsof extended
travel nearly as well as their more
yielding counterparts."
If you are flying and decide to
carry on, remember to check your
airline's prohibited list Adhering to
the rules will ensure a quicker checkin and help avoid being forced to
throw anything out because it violates the Transportation Security
Administration's rules.
Buyiiig travel-size shampoos or
lotions will also lighten up the weight
ofyour luggage.
The TSA allows most items they
deem hazardous in checked bags.
Their website, tsa.gov, offers a downloadable PDF for quick reference.
For the truly impaired, Mats Henricson created the Universal Packing List, an interactive, user-friendly
list customizable to the individual's
travel needs. Find the UPL at http'J/

The constant concern over
traveling abroad for students
becomes a growing worry as
spring break gets closer and students brainstorm great travel
plans.
Nearest to CSUSM, Mexico is
a popular travel destination with
cheaper hotel costs than other
vacation spots and is known
for a high tolerance of underage drinking, great beaches and
fun activities. Although a spring
break get-a-away to Mexico
sounds like the perfect adventure, this popular student vacation spot is also known for dangerous drug activity and caution
must be taken when traveling
aboard.
The U.S State Department,
Bureau of Consular Affairs
have issued a recent travel alert
expressing that a number of
locations along the U.S Mexico
border are experiencing rapid
growth in the rates of robberies,
homicides, carjackings and petty
of our local theme parks. Students
can head to SeaWorld or the Wild
Animal Park for a day of fun with
friends.
The Wild Animal Park offers a

thefts, notably in Tijuana and
northern Baja California within
the last year.
"Mexican drug cartels are
engaged in violent conflict, both
among themselves and with
Mexican security services, for
control of narcotics trafficking
routes along the U.S.-Mexico
border. To combat violence,
the government of Mexico
has deployed military troops
throughout the country. U.S.
citizens should cooperate fully
with official checkpoints when
traveling on Mexican highways,1" said the travel alert.
"Common-sense precautions
such as visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas
during daylight hours, and avoiding areas where prostitution and
drug dealing might occur, can
help ensure that travel to Mexico
is safe and enjoyable," continued
the advisory.
More safety tips for traveling
include always taking the main
roads and traveling during the
daylight hours, travel in a group,
do not travel alone, and never dis-
play expensive watches, purses or
even jewelry as these items can
viewed as easy targets for crimes.
Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international
cell phone reception and service.
Many carriers offer this service
for a limited amount of days, not
a long-term contract, and for a
sensible price. For convenience
and safety, a cell phone can be
used in case of an emergency.
U.S citizens can contact the nearest U.S consulates or the U.S
Embassy in case of any trouble.
Contact numbers are listed on the
travel.state.gov website.

Baseball
wins
double-header,
completes three game-sweep of C SULA
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Strong, timely hitting and
resilient pitching were keys for
Cougar baseball on Saturday,
as the squad took both ends of a
double-header at Cai State Los
Angeles, 10-8 in game one and
9-4 in game two.
CSUSM completes the threegame road sweep of the Golden
Eagles, members of NCAA Division II and the CCAA Conference. The Cougars improve to
17-7 this season, while CSULA
drops to 12-13.
In game one, the Cougars got
down early, battled back to take
a commanding lead, then held
on for dear life at thè end. Starting pitcher Travis McCracken
gave another strong effort, allowing four runs in six innings
of work. All those runs were
scored in the third inning, and
McCracken was able to bounce
back and shut out CSULA for
the rest of his outing. The win
improves him to 5-1 this season.
A Matt Jenkins solo home run
put CSUSM up 1-0, but the team
found itself down 4-1 after CSULA's big third inning. The Cou-
gars would cut into that lead in
the fourth and fifth innings, with
Mike Pena driving in Josh Miller
in the former, and Miller driving
in Kevin Silvett in the latter.
CSUSM's patience at the
plate played a huge role in the
win. The Cougars drew 11 walks
in the contest, and they played
a key role in a six-run sixth
inning that ultimately decided
the game. Pena and Omar Manzanarez led off the frame by
drawing walks, and Ricardo
Moran drove in the inning's first
run with a base hit. Secciani, Silvett, and Miller all walked, pushing home two more runs, and a
Ryle Parks base hit brought two
more runs home. Finally, Pena
earned his second walk to extend
the inning, and an error pushed
the Cougar lead to 9-4.
CSUSM stayed patient in the
seventh, as Moran, Secciani,
Silvett, and Miller were walked
in order to lead of the inning,
making it 10-4.
The Cougars got a taste of
their own medicine in the eighth;
however, as the bullpen walked
three men to start the inning and
CSULA took advantage, scoring
four runs to cut it to 10-8. But
closer Spencer Pardon was able
to work out of it, getting all three
outs in the eighth and working a
relatively easy ninth to pick up
the save.
Game two would play out
much the same way, minus the
late comeback attempt by the
Golden Eagles.
Starting pitcher Johnny Holtman earned his first win of the
year, striking out two and walking none in four innings of
work. He gave up four runs in the
third inning, but like McCracken,
was flawless in the rest of his
work.
Silvett got things started for
CSUSM in the first, belting a solo
home run to, but once again the
Cougar offense didn't really kick
in until they were down 4-1.
In the top of the fourth, Johnny
Omahen singled in Mitch Ferguson to make it 4-2, and the
Cougars would go on to take
their first lead the following
inning. Moran led off the fifth
with a single, and with two outs,
Miller reached on an error, and
Parks made the defense pay with
a huge three-run home run to put
his team up 5-4.
After reliever Ricky Chavarria worked a 1-2-3 bottom
of the inning, Miller. doubled
home Secciani to put CSUSM
up 6-4. CSULA threatened in
the bottom of the sixth, putting
two on with no outs, but Julienne
entered the game and put out
the fire, inducing a double-play
and fly out to get out of the jam
unscathed.
In the top of the seventh and
final inning, the Cougar offense
put it out of reach. Ferguson and
Omahen led off with singles, and
after a failed sacrifice bunt, Manzanarez drew a walk to load the
bases for Moran. Moran would
put the cherry on top of what has
been a brilliant series at the plate
for virtually the entire Cougar
lineup, ripping a triple down the
right field line to clear the bases.
Julienne struck out the side in
the seventh to earn his first save
of the season, secure the 9-4 win,
and finish off the huge sweep.
The Cougars are off to a great
start to their tour of the CCAA
conference, but things won't get
easier at #2 UC San Diego on the
road on Monday at 2:00 PM.

Cougar Softball cruises to So-Cal sweep
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Brenna Sandberg's 19 strikeouts highlighted a pair of dominating wins for #20 Cougar softball at the Sun West Tournament
on Thursday. CSUSM defeated
Kenyon College 11-0, then the U.
of Puget Sound 10-1.
The wins push CSUSM's
win streak to 8 games, and
improve the team to 16-6 this
season. Sandberg improves to
15-3 this season.
Against Kenyon, the Cougar
offense powered the team to
three runs in the first, one in
the second, two in the third, and
finallyfivein the fifth to close the
game out via the mercy rule.
Shanti Poston led all batters with
three hits, and teammates Elizabeth Bush, Alicia Ingram, Alyssa
Dronenburg, and Erica Coelho all
tallied a pair of hits. Coelho and
Lauren Nelson drove in two runs
each in what was a very balanced
effort at the plate.
On the mound, Sandberg
cruised to the victory, tossing
four innings of three-hit, zerowalk shutout ball. She struck out
five hitters before Ciera Ashman
came in to close out the game.
It was much of the same in the
second half of the double-header,
as CSUSM jumped out to a 6-0
lead in the second and never
looked back. Ingram, the speedster, and power-hitting Dronenburg led the way, with the former
going 4-for-4 with J runs and 2
RBI, and the latter going 3-for-5
with her ninth home run of the
season and 5 RBI.
Sandberg survived a seasonhigh 7 walks by striking out a
season-high 14 in six innings of
work. She allowed just three hits
and one run before giving way to
Chanel Rose, who threw a perfect
seventh to cap the victory.
CSUSM will continue play at
the Sun West Tournament on Saturday when they face St. Mary's
and host school Chapman.
