XXIII N O. 10 S candal a t C SU Stanislaus raises concern o ver a n upcoming Palin a ppearance BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor | S ; See Page 4 CougarJobs A new chapter has opened in the scandal at GSU Stanislaus as • administrators now face allegations of corruption over the destruction of documents pertaining to an upcoming visit by Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and Republican Vice Presidential nominee. At the center of the scandal is the CSU Stanislaus Foundation, which has refused to make public information about the visit in spite of a drawn out campaign by California State Senator Leland Yee to publicize Palin's speaking fee. The CSU Stanislaus Foundation plans to host a private gala in June with Palin as its keynote speaker. According to the Foundation, the event will serve as a fundraiser for the CSU Stanislaus campus. The controversy mainly centers on the foundation's status as 501c3 auxiliary organization, a privately funded non-profit entity that would not normally be required to reveal private information to the public. CSU Stanislaus has upheld a recent decision to withold the release of the information, citing a clause in the contract with Palin that prohibits disclosure of information relating to the visit. Californians Aware, a nonprofit government transparency Image courtesy of Propeller.com advocacy group based in Sacramento, filed suit against the school last week, claiming the overlapping duties of taxpayer funded administrators in overseeing the foundation make it subject to public disclosure laws. The documents were turned over to the the office of the Attorney General and an investigation on the matter has been opened. On April 9, students were alerted to potentially suspicious activity when several administrators cars were seen parked on campus during a furlough day. Two students, Alicia Lewis and Ashley Briggs, reportedly witnessed activity inside a closed building and saw a student disposing of garbage in one of the dumpsters outside. The two were among several students that had been actively searching dumpsters for documents pertaining to the visit by Palin. Upon searching the dumpster, the students found the files shredded among other university paperwork. Responding to the findings, Senator Yee. said, "It is truly shocking and a gross violation of die public trust that such documents would be thrown away and destroyed during a pending investigation." Earlier this month, CSU Stanislaus denied a request by Senator Yee that documents pertaining to Palin's visit be made public, with its compliance officer stating, "the University has no documents that are responsive to See Palin, Page 3 Abortion topic furthers conversation on campus Associated Students Inc. hosts first ever C SUSM d ebate BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer See Page 5 ^ rts & Entertainment * Poetry Reading See Page 7 Associated Students Inc. hosted their first live debate on the topic of abortion on April 20. The debate took place in Arts 240 on campus during University Hour, allowing all students the opportunity to come. Students who attended the debate received free pizza to watch as author and pro-life speaker Alan Shlemon and CSUSM Women's Studies Professor Cecili Chadwick explored this controversial topic. Each speaker had 10 minutes to make their argument, followed by five minutes each for rebuttal and five minutes for closing statements. Each speaker received prior notice of how long he or she had left, such as five minutes and one minute. The audience was to remain quite during speeches and only react after a speech has finished. Pro-life speaker Alan Shlemon spoke first about abortion and why he feels it should be illegal. Professor Chadwick countered this with her views of why abortion should remain legal. "Abortion is wrong because it kills an innocent human being. So what I've done is argue the question 'What is the unborn?' And I've said, look, if the unborn is not a human being then it doesn't matter whether you have the abortion, go ahead have the abortion. "But if you ask the question... and it turns out to be a human being like you and me, then abortion is killing an innocent human being and that's what's wrong," said Shlemon when asked about his views after the debate. Professor Chadwick is pro- choice and feels this type of decision is down to the individual. "Abortion should be legal because the state should not be involved ifi decisions about what women can and can't do with their bodies. It is widely documented that state interventionism is an inappropriate and ineffective way to reduce the number of abortions in this country," she said after the debate. She also feels this topic needs to be discussed less in public. See ASI, Page 3 Looking to get involved with school, experience to add to your resume, or an extra job?

In one of the rarest events in the technology world, internet users found pictures of the fourth version of the iPhone online last week Apple has a reputation for not revealing it's products early or giving sneak peaks, but pictures of their new device ended up Gizmodo.com after an alleged employee misplaced a test model in a Silicon Valley bar. Given Apple's repumm^ tation, this could have imgf been an accident, and very bad news for the person who lost the phone. If it was an actual model of the new iPhone, I think this was done on purpose. Just as some studios "leak" copies of movies to create online buzz, I think Apple misplaced the phone to gain viral interest.

I think Apple leaked the phone to get smartphone users to wait on their new model. The look of the phone is also very different from the previous three incarnations of the iPhone. This means customers will need to buy new cases and accessories if they want to protect their device. This leak gives third party companies a chance to have these accessories available on the release day of the new iPhone. While there are plenty of new Image courtesy ofghmodo.com specs to discuss on the new model, which can be found all over tech websites, the most important factor that people found on the leaked model was the microSIM card. Most phone companies around the world use the standard SIM card to provide a phone with its number and give it service with a provider. The use of the microSIM means hackers cannot unlock the new iPhone to work on other networks that use SIM card, such as T-Mobile. This also means that Apple will stay with AT&T as sole carrier of the iPhone in the US. f I think this also debunks any rumors that the iPhone will go to Verizon. Tech critics and bloggers have bashed Apple's partnership with AT&T. The demand of the iPhone has strained the AT&T network, but it appears the fourth version„will s taj with the same carrier.

The discovery of the shredded documents following a denial by the administration that such documents existed has raised questions as to whether or not the destruction of the documents was intentional. Senator Yee has been at the forefront of an effort to make CSU operationgs subject to greater oversight, specifically targeting 501c3 foundations found at CSU campuses. "Found within the same files as regular university business were financial statements and documents of the CSU Stanislaus Foundation demonstrating From ASI, page 1 She said, "The fetus and the woman are one person and that one person is the woman. In order to give women control of their bodies we need to stop using them as a battleground for this debate and allow all decisions about their bodies to be made at their discretion." During the debate, both speakers were able to agree that they wanted fewer abortions but differed in how that is accomplished. Alan Shlemon wants fewer abortions because that will mean less "innocent" human beings from dying. Professor Chadwick wants religious restrictions on contraception lifted and women that the foundation is operated by taxpayer-funded employees within the university itself," said Yee. How can they possibly claim that no tax dollars are being used for the Palin event when state employees are called in on their furlough day to help avoid public scrutiny?" Though the precise fee for the visit could not be determined from the confidential documents, Senator Yee and others estimate it could be as high as $100,000. The documents did reveal several other stipulations, however, including first class airfare and luxury accomodations for Palin. CSU Stanislaus President responded to the allegations, educated better about sex. They also both agreed that abortion is acceptable when it threatens the mother's life; this means a without an abortion, the mother will die and the unborn as well. The debate finished with audience members' questions asked to the speakers who had roughly one minute to respond. Alan Shlemon was asked about his views on abortion in the case of rape. He responded by saying rape was not a justification for abortion as a small child conceived through rape would not be killed after it was born, so he wonders why an unborn should be killed as they are the same. The debate ran in a civilized manner. The speakers mostly kept to their time limits and the saying, "we welcome the investigation and Expect it will clarify how a foundation document could have ended up in a state senator's hands " Issuing a statement on behalf of the foundation, President Matt Swanson said, "It's a dark day when an entity that's sole purpose I A p i i t p ^ m 9 a.m.-ll:30 a.m. is to raise money for student k AV&gtte student's fPpd services and university programs ^ ^ K ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ R ^ a n d 11:30 is falsely accused of wrong-doing. ja.rh. on the 17 and 18.

"I thought of doing a debate the moment I was told that the event that I was required to host didn't have to be just another meet-and-greet," she said. On the topic of abortion, she said, "We chose abortion for many reasons. It is a very important t opicjo many people. It was suggested by students." There will be more debates to come, although when and on what topic unclear, future discussions could include the topics of gay marriage and lowering the legal drinking age, according to Schmidt. $ij|WPD, meaning both giWitif^ a | j | e thlWhey are b otl|i|^|pti April I f 11 p.m. . „ j ^ S X ^ UPD officer stopped j naf|j iir ttWijit^; Sohnwn Ihe tm^lc his glov^ boi flip •.

The student can be recorded for the price of three-dollar, the cost of the DVD, so that the counselor can coach them on how to improve their conduct, and content for their actual interview. The counselors will tailor the mock interview to specifically fit the student's needs, such as if they were interviewing for a teaching credential, graduate school, or a particular job. The interviewee should not only research the company and the position they are applying for, but also themselves. The United States Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook lists under preparation, that the interviewee should "Be ready to answer broad questions, such as 'Why should I hire you?' 'Why do you want this job?' 'What are your strengths and weakness?'" Pam Wells suggests that the student should take the time to write out at least 10 adjectives that a supervisor would use to describe them, as well as writing down strengths with specific examples. The Occupational Outlook Handbook also suggests asking questions about the position and the organization while avoiding questions involving salary or benefits of the job. Pam Wells' statement concerning researching, was that "There is so much information out their, if you don't get as much information as you can about the company, about the program, about the specific job, it translates to your not that interested in that position." By analyzing the job description the inter-, viewee can also better tailor their interview questions and examples for that particular job. When it comes down to the interview, as stated by the Career Guide provided by CSUSM, the introduction is very significant because it "establishes a rapport between you and the interviewer.. .it proImage Courtesy of thejobexplorer.com vides, jthe interviewer with a first impres- the interview is by taking advantage of the mock interview program at the Career Center here on CSUSM campus in Craven A lackluster interview can cause some Hall.

If a student wants to partake in a mock to organize their thoughts and practice for sion through your appearance, manner, and personal energy^ The interviewee should give a strong handshake; make eye contact, and politely addressing the interviewer while using proper English. It is important that the interviewee be energetic. Pam Wells suggests that if the interviewee has the opportunity to pick their interview time, they should schedule it for when they're at their best. If they are a morning person then they should try to have the interview then. Proper attire can be crucial to an interview even if the job they are applying for only requires casual attire. CSUSM's Career Guide makes an insightful statement, "Remember, appearance is not just the clothing, but how you handle yourself." The interviewee should wear professional attire with no extreme colors, and shy away f rom extravagant jewelry or hairstyles because the interview is not about making a fashion statement. For interviewees unsure of what to wear, Pam Wells suggested that they should dress better than what the interviewers would expect in order to make a good impression. Students of CSUSM have a great opportunity to improve their interviewing abilities by going to the event held by the CSUSM Career Center on May 20 called "So You've Graduated Now W hat" at the Clarke Grand Salon from 8:30 to 1:30. At this event an alumni panel will talk about their careers, and give advice to students. Recruiters will discuss the job market in this present tough economy, and give interviewing tips. Students who graduated in December or w ill b e i n May can take advantage of this event through reserving a spot by giving the Career Center a refundable check of $10. Students can still receive f ree Career Center services for three months a fter they graduate, and for only $25 a month a fter that, insuring student's success well into the future.

Tanning has b een around f or years and will continue to b e a summer activity for many years to come, but b ringing awareness to the e ffects of soaking up those rays is essential to any f uture tanner. Many aim to achieve a healthy glow each summer, but the t ruth is that the skin's reaction to sunlight and producing a bronze tan is the skins own n atural defense mechanism against sun damage. Producing natural Melanin, the dark hue in sun drenched skin, is in e ffort to p rotect the skin f rom Ultra Violet (UV) rays.

Alternatives to U V tanning beds and outdoor t anning are easy, quick and better for your skin. . Exposure to the sun can cause many r isks to our bodies that many people are still unaware of. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services over exposure to the sun can result in premature aging, skin cancer, eye damage, and immune system suppression. Later in life, sunspots and age spots can appear giving skin an uneven tone that o ften worsens with age. Tanning beds have also become a f requent activity because of their accessibility and rapid results, but in tanning beds are also a danger for our skin, and have required certain states to impose an 18 and u p restriction for tanning bed usage. According to MSNBC, recent results f rom a study done by the World Health Organization might be j ust the incentive that the FDA needs to ban tanning beds for those under 18. The risks are very real and because none of them are fast acting, many people disregard them. Skin cancer can be considered the most feared result of tanning. Dr. William James, president of the American Academy of Dermatology Association stated that, " What was formerly considered a disease of older men is ballooning in young women, the very target audience and number one customer of the tanning industry." Even though the risks are great in the most common way of getting that summer glow, don't b e discouraged, there are many other methods that are j ust as convenient without the h armful side effects. Spray on tanning has become more and more popular in the last couple of years and the popularity is widely due to the fact that with this method the perfect tan can be achieved all year long.

The title of "Grand Champion" goes to the school with the highest percentage of waste recycled on campus. CSUSM beat out over 600 university competitors f rom the United States, Canada, and as f ar away as Qatar to w in the honor with a 71.82 percent recycle rate. A trophy, for the victory can b e seen at the Big Cat Food C ourt on campus. " Our campus was created with recycling in m ind," said Carl Hanson, Recycle Mania leader and the recycling program coordinator on campus. Hanson mentioned the early developed of our campus, growing u p in the early 90s when the start of environmental issues were j ust becoming a growing concern. "We have evolved a great waste diversion system on this campus, it [recycling] was h ere f rom the beginning a nd soon became a p art of our culture." Students involvement make a d ifference, through raising awareness and other leadership e fforts felt throughout campus. "While students come and go, it is their increasing enthusiasm, especially with the rise of the "Green Revolution," which gives the program its energy. There have also been outstanding individual-student leaders over the years that have made a difference," continued Hanson. Hanson feels that CSUSM has always had an advantage over other campuses for the w inning Recycle Mania because it is the e ffort that our campus makes all year long and not only during the Recycle Mania contest. Recycle Mania 2010 January 17th-March 27th " Our recycling rate numbers are consistently high, so we don't have to really 'gear u p' for the 10 week competition each January." w CSUSM has proven to be a leader in recycling because "going-green" is important to faculty, s taff, and students. The f uture for recycling at CSUSM looks promising and the title helps set our campus as a model for other universities to improve recycling e fforts. Other ideas that our waste management division system team is working on for f uture development includes working with food services to increase recyclable, reusable and compostable products, according to Hanson. The team is also looking into developing s food composting program on campus.

CSUSM closes out its most successful season to date with a 31-13-1 record. Azusa is 17-28 with three games remaining. Prior to the game, CSUSM honored its seniors playing the final home game of their careers: Omar Manzanarez, Ricardo Moran, Chris Skaalen, Travis McCracken, Josh Miller, Mike Pena, McClinton Heil, and Eric Julienne. And on the field, the Cougars, led by those seniors, did their family, friends, and fans proud with an excellent effort to earn a hard-fought win. It started on the mound with McCracken, who was in f ull control for his six f ull innings of work. He allowed six hits and three walks while striking out two, with the only blemish on his record being a two-run second inning. He earned the win to finish the season 7-4.

An event Sunday, April 25 at the Georgia Cole Library near downtown Carlsbad was devoted to presenting pieces from mystic poets, Hafiz, Dickinson, and Rumi. The five poets presenting works from these writers were Ishmael von Heidrick-Barnes, Jill Moses, Brandon Cesmat, Shadab Zeest Hashmi, and Jon Wesick. The poets presenting these works are part of the organization Magee Park Poets, which was started in 1989 by a group of aspiring poets who gathered in Carlsbad's Magee Park. The presenter Brandon Cesmat, a creative writing teacher here at CSUSM, reflected on how events, such as the one Magee Park Poets organized, are vital for student writers because "it's important for students to understand their heritage, and the community that's here." The reading was opened by Ishmael von Heidrick-Barnes reading Hafiz's "The Vintage Man" using steady pronunciation and eye contact, which drove the message into the audience's soul. Hafiz has already stimulated so many poets, such as Emerson who stated, "Hafiz is a poet for poets...He fears nothing, he sees too far, he sees throughout.:." The manner in which Heidrick-Barnes presented the piece allowed the audience time to reflect and interpret the piece as i t moved along. The presentation of this piece made Cesmat's commented on how "hearing pieces read out loud can actually increase the brains engagement" seem completely evident. Another highlight of the reading was the poem "Death" by Emily Dickinson, presented by Jill Moses, which revealed the main theme of mortality, which can be seen in works of all the poets being presented at the event. Cesmat followed by adding movement while he Photo by Mallane Dressel ^ A N T Photo by Mallane Dressel read the poem "The Music We Are" by Rumi. His performance of whirling around in circles across the room emphasized the lost meaning presented in the poem. Cesmat explained how Rumi "inspires people to think past barriers, for example the l ine...The anemones blush because they have seen the rose naked'.. .This idea of not being divided sea to sky, land to sea. He thinks expansively because he's not held back by borders." Cesmat originally started his writing career as a journalist, and changed to creative writing after earning his MFA from San Diego State University. He has won San Diego Book Awards in both poetry andfiction.He looks forward to reading at Grossmont College where they have been analyzing his first book, "Driven into the Shade." He is editing a second edition for Classrooms of Poets established by CPITS, California Poets in the Schools. Through this organization, he developed the program Laureates in Training, a program that recognizes student poets devoted to the poetry writing process, and poetry in the community. After the presentation of the pieces by the mystic poets, the floor was open for whoever wanted to share a poem.

By expanding their audience to people outside of the Magee Park Poets, they will be encouraging younger and unknown writers to recognize poets that should have a profound affect on their writing. This would also cause the Magee Park Poets to possibly be exposed to more diverse poetry, allowing them to manipulate their writing to even greater heights because one of the best ways a poet can learn is by studying their peers' poetry. ^ Are you looking to get more involved?

U Karp shared her piece called "Rumi's Place" from her published book of poetry "Innerscapes," inspired by the way Rumi has the ability to describe the indescribable. Cesmat shared a descriptive piece, "Sliding From Seeds," that was reminiscent of the far-reaching explicit metaphors found in Rumi's work. Through this sharing process, those in the audience that were not part of the Magee Park Poets were able to see how the poets being praised at the event had affected the poets in the audience, but it also made the event feel less open and more exclusive.
