SLL ENCOURAGES INVOLVMENT Students offered services and information at Leave Your Mark fair THIS ISSUE SOCIAL JUSTICE CENTERS FEATURES, R 3 V u l • . mu BY A MY SALISBURY E DITOR- I N-CHIEF The library plaza buzzed with new and returning students alike during the Leave Your Mark fair last Thursday, Sept. 2. Under a white tent sat more than 30 tables with representatives from organizations associated with CSUSM. The event's purpose was to showcase many opportunities for students to "leave their mark" on the CSUSM campus and further their involvement, according to Student Life and Leadership. Student Life and Leadership, SLL, sponsored the event and coordinated a mass photograph of incoming freshmen on the steps outside University Hall. Free 20th Anniversary t-shirts were distributed to the freshman, and Crash the Cougar was front and center in the photograph. "Witnessing the first year student picture was quite a sight!" said Kathryn Hayes, SLL student representative and President of Sigma Tau Delta, English Honor Society. Hayes was pleased with the success of the event. "It was nice to see the enthusiasm from thefirstyear students, as well as returning students, going through all the tables and taking advantage of the hosted events," said Hayes. SLL staff members Joshua Galea'i and Jennie Goldman ensured that the event went smoothly and all participating parties were well represented. Four rows of tables beneath the tent offered information about their services from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. while a live band, Live in Los Angeles provided music. Hope and Wellness Center, Math Lab, Writing Center, Eco Club, and PRIDE Center were but a few of the organizations participating in the event. Melanie Slocum, a tutor at the Writing Center, was happy to have participated and predicts the fair will have a positive outcome on new students. "Hopefully now students won't have second thoughts about using resources like The Writing Center because they were able to meet a few of us and learn that we don't really bite," said Slocum. SLL's Weeks of Welcome events continue through Friday, Sept. 9. For more information, visit the SLL office in Craven 3400.

A total of six majors are now impacted at CSUSM: Communications and Mass Media, both Bachelor of Arts, join Business Administration, Kinesiology, Nursing, and Human Development. "Impacted" is a term used to describe a major that has more qualified students interested than can be accommodated for. Since CSUSM wants to preserve a quality classroom experience, certain screening requirements are now being enforced. In easier terms, Communications and Mass Media are now in the top ten most popular majors for CSUSM, showing clearly that currently there is not enough faculty support to supply the demand of the students interested in either growing major. Screening criteria includes a requirement of 60-se- mester of baccalaureate-level coursework applicable toward a degree at CSUSM and completion of coursework equivalent to the lower-division preparatory coursework for the Communication and Mass Media major. A list of the major prep classes can be found at www. csusm.edu/admissions/impaction/impactedmajors .html A minimum GPA of 2.5 needs to be achieved in the major prep classes in order for students to apply and be accepted officially into the major. Without completion of major prep courses, and meeting the minimum GPA requirements, students cannot enroll in upper division major core classes. Since this limits freshmen and sophomores to even declare Communications or Mass Media until they have finished the prep classes and are in junior class standing, until requirements have been fulfilled, they can be admitted as "PreCommunications" or "Pre-Mass Media." �FEATURES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2010 EDITORIAL STAFF Editors-in-Chief Amy Salisbury Sandra Chalmers csusmpride@gmail.com Features Editor Toria Bodden features.pride@gmaiLcom Arts and Entertainment Editor Candice Wyatt artsandentertainment.pride@gmail. com • Copy Editor Amy Salisbury Artistic Design and Layout Jillian Kerstetter pridelayout@gmail.com Sales Representative Sandra Chalmers pride_ads@csusm.edu Digital Media Management Jenna Jauregui Ride Staff Photographer Aaron Jaffe Advisor Joan Anderson All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, respresent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University: San Marcos.

While I realize mattresses and sofas areridiculouslyexpensive, you'd be better off getting the cheapest thing from Ikea rather than buying off Craigslist. Bed bugs can be transferred in any piece of furniture, and getting rid of them once they're in your house is an extremely expensive process. The best plan is to check an apartment top to bottom before you move in, looking for signs of any creepy crawlies. 4 )... a rat hiding behind the couch, your roommate's boyfriend hitting on you, a guy passed out in your bath tub you've never seen before, etc. Just remain calm.

PROWLIN' THE KITCHEN OATMEAL: SO CHEAP, SO SWEET! BY J ENNA JAUREGUI D IGITAL M EDIA M ANAGER When faced with a tight food budget, many college students turn to Ramen noodles and the fast-food dollar menu—meals that satisfy the wallet but not always the appetite. If you are among the droves of starving students who find their bank accounts running dry after buying parking permits and textbooks, allow me to introduce you to an old friend you may have forgotten: oatmeal! A delicious, hot comfort food, oatmeal is an incredibly filling, nutritious grain that can substitute as breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. According to versagrain.com, oats provide both soluble fiber, which lowers bad cholesterol, and insolublefiberthat can keep you...

The Cookin'Cougar N OW PLAYIN HE WAS GIVEN AN OFFER H E COU wmmS BY M ILA P ANTO V ICH P RIDE STAFF W RITER Robert Rodriguez is clearly doing what he loves to do most in "Machete," his most recent homage to the B-films of the 1960s and 1970s. Derived from a fake trailer that he created for the "Grindhouse" double-feature released with friend Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez took full advantage of every Mexican stereotype he could think of, surrounding them with needless nudity and absurdly comical violence. The film is crude, disgusting, campy and immensely entertaining. Machete (Danny Trejo) is an ex-Federale who vows vengeance on the drug lord, Torrez (Steven Seagal), who PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMAZON.COM IlftSfilY TREJO «s BACHETE brutally killed his wife and daughter. Until he can get to Torrez, Machete spends his time roaming a parking lot in Texas looking for work with other illegal immigrants from Mexico. He finds himself hired by the nasty and conniving Booth (Jeff Fahey of "Lost") to assassinate the bigoted Texan Senator, McLaughlin (Robert De Niro). However, when Machete realizes that he has been used as a 4» political pawn to further Senator McLaughlin's re-election campaign, his need for retribution is kicked into overdrive and Machete is joined by freedomfighterLuz (Michelle Rodriguez), Padre the priest who knows how to wield 12-gauge shotguns (Cheech Marin), ICE agent (Jessica Alba) and Booth's junkie, internet porn star daughter (Lindsay Lohan). Instead of relying on plot or character development, which are two elements completely ignored in this film, "Machete" depends upon the exploitive humor of using Mexican stereotypes as a running joke. With decapitated heads flying, weed-whackers as weapons and cell phones being hidden within orifices of the female body, the only thing needed to know about this film is that the plot is irrelevant and the humor is worth the ticket price. �ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT THE PRIDE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2010 D ROPPING THIS WEEK BY REBEKAH GREENE j>RIDE STAFF WRITER Interpol - Self-titled Interpol's fourth studio album, self-titled "Interpol," is a perfect display how the band has evolved since theirfirststudio album "Turn on the Bright Lights" was released in 2002. Listeners will recognize the band's familiar sound, but "Interpol" will touch on more orchestral inspired sounds. This is also the last album including bassist Carlos Dengler who decided to pursue new projects. Dengler had been with Interpol since the band's beginnings. Thefirstsingle, "Lights," was released in May followed by "Barricade" released this summer. Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart Ever since her single, "Love Song," hit the airwaves, Sara Bareilles gained top chart attention with her catchy tunes, relatable lyrics and beautiful use of the piano.

P HOTO C OURTESY O F I ANBELL.COM Even though I don't get paid, it's still tons of fun. I do it because I get to see myfriends,I get to meet new people and make them laugh all night. Plus, I like the attention when I'm running around in my underwear," said Cassandra Klingbeil, Rocky Horror Cast member since 2008. The show begins with a humorous introduction explaining the show rules, which aren't many. Then there's the induction of the "virgins" who have never been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show before which often includes bananas, whip cream and good 'ole fashioned spankings. "First timers can expect confusion. Utter confusion. Some of the stuff people are yelling might offend them. Some stuff might make you laugh your ass off," said Cassidy. A few other games, such as "unhook that bra," will get the audience fired up for the show. The show will be anything but quiet, motionless entertainment. As an THE PRIDE PHOTOS BY CANDICE WYATT audience member, you will yell callbacks, throw stuff and dance the "Time Warp." If you don't have things to throw or don't know how to do the dance, don't worry. Goody bags full of items to throw at specific times during the movie are available to purchase for $2 and the "Time Warp" steps are easy and the movie shows you how to do it. "It's an audience participation movie. I stopped going for the movie a million years ago. It's all because of the people and the friendships you develop," said Cassidy. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is held every Friday at midnight at La Paloma Theater and admission is $9. The second Friday of every month is Lingerie Night, where cast members and audience members come dressed in street legal lingerie.
