The answer is no, for now at least.

"And when faculty morale is negatively affected, it can't help but affect students!" said Dr. Thomas. Dr. Barrett and the CFA urge students to vote on the issues that affect them and their education within the state of California. Since the state remains without a budget, it is imperative, according to Dr. Barrett, that students understand drastic cuts will begin in Spring 2011 and beyond if no budget appears soon. "[The CFA] feel it essential to make sure the voting population understands the issues and gets eut to vote in the November election, and have plans for activities along those lines.

CougarBookRentals. com �S TUDENT HEALTH AND COUNSELING SERVICES Keeping you healthier, a little wealthier, and wise BYTORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR Hie beginning of the academic year is a great time for both new and returning students to learn about services offered by CSUSM, especially ones that can not only keep you healthy, but also keep a little more money in your pocket. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) is located directly across Twin Oaks Valley Road at 120 Craven Road. Its within easy walking distance of campus, and offers a significant amount of health services for free, or at reduced prices, to students. I got a chance to sit down with Dr. Karen Nicholson, SHCS's medical director, to talk about how SHCS can help you as a student. PRIDE: What would you say are the most important services offered here? DR. NICHOLSON: Well, the most common thing we see students for are issues surrounding family planning and sexual health... We have a free services program called Family PACT. It provides family planning to students who qualify, both men and woman. That could be free pap smear, free birth control, free STD screenings for women. For young men, it can include free STD screens and condoms. It's our third year of providing Family PACT. (For more information about the program and to find out if you qualify, stop by SHCS and talk to the Family PACT registration coordinator Monday through Thursday from 9am to 1 l am or 2pm to 4pm, Friday from 9am to 1 lam.). We see a lot of headaches, sore throats, upset stomachs... We also see a lot of students for depression and anxiety. If students have stress or depression, we refer students to our counseling section, which is part of this center. We have three staff psychologists and a part time psychiatrist who can prescribe medication. W hat d o you t hink is t he most i mportant t hing f or students t o know about SCHS? Something t hat you would want incoming students t o know? As a registered student, students can see medical providers and counselors for free, with the exception of the psychiatrist. If a student needs to come every day, there's no co-pay. There are some charges for labs or medications, but not all of them. It's also good for students to know that we have a registered pharmacist on staff, and we carry a lot of over the counter medications at significantly reduced prices for students. We also look for ways to help students save money on their medications. They're not obligated to use our pharmacy. We'll tell you if a medication might be cheaper at Walmart or Costco. So why would students with health insurance come to SCHS? Sometimes, it's just more convenient to come here. If students who have insurance see us, there's no co-pay. If they need a prescription, sometimes they can submit the receipt back to the insurance company to be reimbursed. (WRITER'S NOTE: The Family PACT program offered by SHCS mentioned earlier can also help students who have insurance, but need confidential sexual health services outside of their insurance.) Tell me about SCHS providing vaccines. I know you were sending out e-mails left and right when people needed the H1N1 vaccine last year. We offer a lot of vaccines. We'll have the flu shot in early fall, no later than the end of September. We'll advertise the dates of the clinics. This year, the regular flu shot and H1N1 vaccine will be combined in one shot. It was about $10 for students to receive the seasonalfluvaccine last year, and it'll probably be about the same this year... We also have the vaccines for Hepatitis A and B, Tdap which is the tetanus shot, the meningitis vaccine, MMR, and Gardisil, the HPV vaccine that has now been approved for use in both men and women.. All of our vaccines are $65 or less, except Gardasil. It's $120 per shot, because it's so new. So, what about H1N1? I've also heard about whooping cough starting to be a problem in elementary and high school. We're in contact with the county and we help them manage any potential outbreaks, so we're well prepared for anything. Most of the stuff people are hearing about whooping cough in the media is happening to little kids. However, we do know that adults can spread it to children, so we mostly want to make sure students PHOTOS BY: TORIA BODDEN//THE PRIDE who work with kids are immunized. What about emergency services? Do you have any advice f or students if they have an emergency? We don't have an emergency room here, and we don't offer urgent care. We are in a good location, though, with emergency response teams on both sides of us, that can transport students quickly to either Tri City Medical Center or Palomar Hospital... We do have same day appointments, though. These aren't for life threatening emergencies, but they're for urgent problems that happen overnight. We keep these appointments blocked off until the day of the appointment. Typically, even in non-urgent situation, people can get appointments in one to two days. The wait for counseling appointments does get longer as the semester progresses. One last question» since I know this is information that may be very important to both our male and female readers. What are your resources for dealing with sexual assault? If any student is the victim of a sexual or physical assault, they can come here for an initial evaluation, which will include a conversation with one of our police officers. We're not a sexual assault response team (SART) center. The closest one is at Palomar. However, between clinical help and counseling support, we do everything we can to help the student. There's also a new webpage from the Women's Center website about sexual assault advocacy that may help students (http://www.csusm.edu/sadv/sa/ index.html). For more information about SCHS and its services, check online at http://www.csusm.edu/ shcs/or call 760-750-4915. �T AKE SPOME OA CTION ' WEEKS O F W ELCOME' ROVIDES T ONS F WAYS T O G ET I NVOLVED BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR There really is a place to ask a nice, friendly person for directions.

On the bench, incoming freshman Warren Ashcroft joins the Cougars from Poway High School, and should contribute immediately. His explosive goalscoring ability may also make him a good fit up front as well as in the midfield. Fellow newcomers Carlin Kennedy and Anthony Perez will also contribute, and should develop into very good players for the program. On defense, veterans Cary Cousineau and Tyler Spitznagel have been strong in camp and should see thefield,as should freshmen Anthony Fischer and J.J. Paetow. The squad is also getting a potentially big addition in Eric Lopez, a transfer from Chico State who should join the team early in the season. Overall, expect this year's Cougar team to be more attack-oriented than those of the last couple years. Despite the lack of experience, CSUSM is already receiving votes in the NALA Preseason Poll, and team is looking to start strong to earn itsfirstnational ranking, as well as qualify again for the A.I.I.

"We want to encourage students to be involved in the arts outside of the classroom. Its recreational, therapeutic, relaxing and expressive. It gives students a creative space," stated Marilyn Huerta, Arts Association Advisor. Huerta, realizing there wasn't an art organization, began asking students last year if they would be interested in starting a student art organization. "In the past we've had about 120 members. I expect to continue growing," stated Huerta. Last year, the Arts Association organized events that included Hope for Haiti Art Auction, Falling on Winter Student Art Exhibit, Love Your Body Day in collaboration with the ASI Women's Center and Operation Art, an exhibit dedicated to veterans. I he Arts Association will kick off the fall semester with a student exhibit that will showcase student work in the Arts building. "This club is great for art students who want to step out of their shell, show their work and get feedback. It also gives the average student a creative space to express themselves," said Heurta. Last semester, two Arts Association members, Kevin* Cruz and Brittany Galante, won a student contest in which they were selected to paint the mural on the storage sheds located near the basketball courts at The Clarke Field House. "Through events we do, you are able to network with people who are in thefieldyou're interested in," stated Lauren Reynoso, Arts Association President. Although the club executives haven't met yet to discuss this semester's calendar, Reynoso would like to collaborate with SDSU and UCSD in the future, who both have student art organizations, and create a San Diego Art Association. Meetings are held bi-weekly on Thursdays at noon in ART 342. Students can join by emailing Marilyn Huerta at mhuerta@csusm.edu, Prowlin' the Kitchen Lauren Reynoso at reyno46@cougars.csusm.edu or by showing up at a meeting. The Arts Association is currently looking tofillthe secretary and creative director position. The Arts Association will be participating in the "Leave Your Mark" events held on September 21, in the Library Plaza from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. "If there's a student who has an idea to do something, bring it to the table and we'll try and make it happen," said Huerta.

Harry Brown EEK u npMnQpnfem^m m^mmmm^^^mM nmm m ifl^NDjTHE iöHtf ROÄDjTI MmmMimm w Ku DVDS �the truth about raves BY CANDICE WYATT ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR The rave movement has turned what were once underground dance parties into nationalized events involving tens of thousands of attendees. The recent Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) held at the LA Coliseum on June 25 and 26,2010, attracted over 135,000 attendees, making it the largest rave in North America. Unfortunately, a 15-year old girl overdosed on ecstacy and within days headlines filled Southern California newspapers and the LA Coliseum put a temporary ban on raves at the venue. The reputable venue EDC was held at and the 18 and over age requirement did not prevent this fatality. "Drug use can have risks but that doesn t make raves unsafe, it makes drug use potentially unsafe," said Nathan Messer, President of DanceSafe, a non-profit harm reduction organization. DanceSafe has addressed the rising concern that drug use is a dangerous and prevalent occurrence in the rave scene. The organizations Web site, www.dancesafe.org, uses education and awareness as the key to making raves a safer environment. The site has drug information, health and safety tips, as well as drug screening test kits that can take a small amount of an ecstasy pill and test it for other potentially dangerous additives. "We neither condone nor condemn drug use. Rather, we believe that each person should make their own choices, and that people DO make better choices when given pointers to good information," stated Messer. A few unfortunate events have given raves a poor reputation for being a drug-centric, unsafe environment and has lead police, legislatures and local communities to fight against the new culture of electronic dance music. The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), a subdivision of the U.S. Department of Justice, released "Rave Parties: A ProblemOriented Guide for Police," in 2002. "The use of rave-related drugs has not been strongly linked to other crimes and unlike other youth events or other types of concerts, raves do not typically involve much assault," stated Michael S. Scott, a former chief of police and author of the COPS "Rave Parties" guide. "Rave culture discourages sexual aggressiveness, and while some drugs do lower sexual inhibitions, they also can inhibit sexual performance. So in some respects, raves are safer places for young people, especially women, than conventional bars and clubs," stated Scott. The acronym that the rave culture lives by is PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect). Responsibility was added to the mantra in the late 1990s to increase awareness of drug overdoses at raves. A junior at CSUSM majoring in Literature and Writing, who chose to be referred to by her given rave name, Raggedy Ann, has attended five raves. "I like the music at raves. Its like every time I go to the club they play crappy rap music that I don t want to dance to. People [at raves] are all really nice and just want to dance," said Ann. "I don t feel like the amount of security or police affects the quality of a rave. They are there to make sure there are no fights and to just have a presence." For first time ravers, expect a high entrance fee. Raves are often accompanied by extravagant light shows and various DJs. The music is loud, so bringing a pair of earplugs along will protect your hearing. "Ravers should be advised to wear loose-fitting clothing, drink plenty of water if they are sweating, and take breaks from dancing to rest and cool off. Rave-related drug users should also eat salty foods to prevent hyponatraemia," stated Scott. In addition, you should also be able to spot warning signs to a potentially dangerous rave environment. "If it is so overcrowded that it is impossible to get to exits easily, if fire doors are locked or blocked, if security isn't searching for weapons, if cold water is shut off in the restrooms, if bottled water is sold without the caps so you can t refill it and carry it with you, all of these are bad signs. Also, some sorts of medical staff should be present for any event with more than about 500 people," stated Messer. The upcoming Abstract Festival will be held on September 11, 2010, at the San Diego Sports Arena from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. There will be two stages and you must be 18 to attend. A full bar will be available for those who are 21 and over. Tickets can be purchased on abstractfest.com and prices range from $40 to $90.
