CSUSM hosts Election 2010 Teach-in

TV

entirety of the population. Modern elections can be confusing
for many prospective voters, especially young people looking
to make fact-based decisions.
The election forum, held at
1 p.m. Oct. 26 in Academic Hall
102, was designed to offer a nonpartisan discussion of the 2010
candidates and selected propositions, hoping to give CSUSM

After the panel presented both

thoughtful quality of the questions showed that students want
to obtain a clear picture of an issue before voting "yes" or "no."
CSUSM student Nicole Main,
who participated in the event,
thought, "[The forum] was a great

A COMMUNITY O F COURAGE
S tudent v eterans s upporting o ne a nother
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
In 2008, Cal State San Marcos
became one of the newest schools
to feature a veterans center to
support students who are current
or former members of the military. Today, the CSUSM Veterans
Center serves several functions.
The center not only provides
a place for the ever-expanding
population of student veterans to
hang out, but also provides much
needed information on the ben-
efits of being a student veteran.
The United States Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) works
with the CSUSM Veterans Center to help student veterans. The
center serves as an intermediary to guide the process of acquiring benefits from the VA.
The CSUSM Veterans Center
mediates between students and
the VA in order to ensure students get the most help possible.
Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill,
student vets are eligible to receive help with their tuition and
l^^^ffifi
fees, monthly housing, books,
and supplies. Legislation like the
Post-9/11 GI Bill has allowed
easier reintegration of veterans
into schools once their service is
complete. It is available for veterans seeking undergraduate or
graduate degrees, as well as vocational and technical training.
The Veterans Center recruits
veterans as potential students to
CSUSM by setting up booths at
junior colleges and military bases. Their goal is to let veterans
know that CSUSM is a veteran
friendly campus that strives to
help them as much as possible.
The CSUSM Veterans Center also provides information on
veteran life outside of school.
They help student vets find out
what veteran activities are taking place in the local area.
While information is essential,
the Veterans Center serves as a
friendly environment for student
veterans to relax, drink coffee,
watch TV, or surf the web. The
center features a large TV that the
vets use to play some of their favorite movies including "Avatar,"
"The Hurt Locker," "The Dark
Knight," and "Super Troopers."
Student veterans enjoy a movie at University Hour.
When two members
of The Pride staff told me
they wanted to do a mock
debate for the paper, I
raised my eyebrows. I may
have also rolled my eyes.
We've all been inundated
with political information during this election
cycle, and I'm starting to
become a bit indifferent.
You might be, too. However, the issue of immigration is always on the edge
of our consciousness as
San Diegans. When Jillian
and Amy said they wanted
to debate a hypothetical
proposition,
involving
temporary closure of international borders, I gave it
some thought. This issue is
becoming more and more
polarized, and it may be
something we see on our
ballots at some point in
the future. The opinions
included in this debate do
not represent the beliefs of
any staff member at The
Pride, including Jillian and
Amy. They are assuming
roles as part of an exercise,
meant to teach and inform.
To put it another way, they
got sick of all the ugly debates during this election,
so they made an intelligent
one of their own. We've in-

is free and open to everyone.
The center is located on the
third floor of Craven Hall. The
Veterans Center is not an official school club; therefore, the
center does not receive an operating budget from CSUSM.
They welcome donations of
anything from DVDs to food.
As the population of student veterans grows, so does this community of men and women eager
to earn their degrees. For more

AS: Ok, well, I appreciate your points of view,
Jillian, but I believe that,
I differ slightly in my assessment of illegal immigration. First o f f , immigration has been a part of
this country since its inception. There would not
be an America without illegal immigration. There
wouldn't be diversity
without illegal immigration. There wouldn't be
an America without this
diversity that has come
here, whether through the
system or not, and that's
the bottom line. There are
ways to become a citizen
of this country legally,
and that is one of the arguments that I hear quite
often about illegal immigrants is that they choose
not to become a citizen.
They choose to not follow
the rules of the country
that they are wanting to
live in. But becoming a
citizen is one heck of a
process, and some people
come here with eight children and they don't have
the time, and they work 20
hours a day and they don't
have the money to buy
the books to study all the
things they get tested on.
Jillian Kerstetter: Yes, I
will start us o f f . One of
the main arguments that
is usually presented by a
lot of political parties, political news activists, everything like that, is that
illegal immigrants, however unfortunate their circumstances are from their
country, have repeatedly
taxed our own economy,
meaning having to accommodate illegal immigrants
or students in our schools,
them taking away jobs
from our working class.
It's just become more of
a problem for us than it
has really been helpful for
them. It's always been a
Catch-22 situation, but I
think at this point, we need
to take a step back possibly, and look at the potential damage that could be See DEBATE, p g4

potentially ourfederal sectors if we keep allowing

From DEBATE, pg 3
It is illogical for many people
to go about legalizing themselves in the United States because they just can't do it. The
reason they come here is under
hardship, and when the country that suggests freedom and
equality imposes this on people
who just want a better life, it is
a contradiction in and of itself
JK: That is a very good point. And
surprisingly enough, I do agree
with some of them. We should be
a country that does as we claim,
takes in the tired, the weary, the
poor. And I alsoagree that this
is a country of immigrants. Like
every other country in the world,
we should have a system for becoming a citizen of this country.
If you can't follow that system,
you shouldn't be allowed in.
AS: You're right, countries
maintain regulation by imposing laws on anyone who wants
to be a part of that country. That
is not the illogical part. Perhaps what needs to be done is
to create less stringent rules on
what it takes to become a citizen. They just want to come to a
place where they can have a job.
JK: What is America saying to
those countries that these illegal
immigrants are coming from?
What about their own power as
a country to help their tired, their
weary, their poor? I think it's almost undermining them to say
that we offer this great refuge...
If you want to talk about the more
pertinent case in our scenario, of
California, considering this has
to come up. Obviously that is the
more pressing issue as far as illegal immigration. Why aren't we
extending a hand to the Mexican
government? Offering them solutions , you know, money, whatever to help rebuild their government that is failing their people?
AS: Well, although I can't name
specifically the things that this
country does for other countries,
I know based o f f , I don't know,
common knowledge that—we
don't—we're not passive. We are
not a passive country. We don't
stand by and allow for injustices
whether in our country or another. I think i f s unfair to suggest
that America is trying to take
on the problems of the world
because I don't think we are.
JK: I agree. I don't think we're
trying to take on necessarily every single problem of the world,

case-by-case basis. However, at
this point in time, it has been a
heated problem that many people
have many differing opinions on.
We need to get on the same page.

the problem. Policy is the problem. Once the United States gets

stop and realize that illegal immigration is not the problem, it's the
way we're spending our money.

War and veteran memorials
BY REBEKAH GREENE
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
To celebrate Veteran's Day,
students can take the time to
visit one or two of ijiany memorials spread throughout San
Diego County. Many of these
memorials are well-known tourist spots, while others reside like
hidden gems for the community to discover and appreciate.
With origins dating back to
1914, the Mount Soledad Memorial is one of the more recognizable memorials in San Diego.
The symbolic cross stands at 29
feet and is dedicated to Korean
War veterans. Surrounding the
cross are six walls of black granite, with thousands of memorial
plaques engraved with individual
stories to commemorate war veterans. Mount Soledad Memorial
holds a magnificent view of the
coast, placed high above La Jolla,
and serves as an important place
for visitors to take a glimpse
into history. This memorial is
open to the public from 7 a.m.
to 10 p.m. and is located along
La Jolla Scenic Drive South. For
specific driving directions, see
the memorial's site: http://www.
soledadmemorial.com/indexiitm.
Closer to San Marcos is the
Wall of Courage, a memorial in
Escondido's Grape Day Park.
The memorial is the result of
funds raised by a local elementary school, veterans' organizations, and the Escondido City
Council. The Wall of Courage
stands as a tribute to the men and
women who have served and continue to serve our country. The
statues consist of two men and a
woman standing in front of a wall
that is covered in plaques with
the names of those who served in
the military from World War I to
those who currently serve today.
Grape Day Park holds many more
memorials, including a Pearl
Harbor Memorial and a Veteran
Memorial dedicated to men and
women of all branches of service.
For directions and more information on the park's sites, visit:

("This Land is Your Land,"
Bruce Springsteen)
Found on Live 1975-1985, the
Boss's-rendition of Woody Guthrie's American classic features
Springsteen in fine form, making
a nice little tune ooze with emotion. Also in vintage Boss fashion, in this version the audience
hears a seemingly spontaneous
story to preface the performance.
Did you know "This Land is Your
Land" was written in response
to Irving Berlin's "God Bless
America" Woody disliked the
song and wrote "This Land" in
1940, in appreciation of the common people. It's a fine song, but
would I stick the original in my
iPod? Not a chance. But Springsteen's version? I already did.

way of making people delve deep
into the significance of America's
mixed culture. It's 2010, and the
United States is still fighting issues of racism and eurocentric
dominance. We can take a few
cues from Tupac and try to make
some changes. Whether these
issues in his song are personally relatable or not, everyone
can understand his message that
prejudice exists and needs our
attention. Tupac encourages all
people to create the changes we
want to see. As elections are approaching, you might ask yourself what's the point of voting?
We can change tomorrow by
having our say today. The time
to act is now. College students
have a voice worthy of attention.
So CSUSM, use that voice, speak

Love Your Body event celebrates beauty
BY MAYA LIFTON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Thursday, the CSUSM Women's Center threw its annual "Love
Your Body" event. The event included many booths where visitors could
get a henna tattoo, and stop by the
wellness center booth, where health
information was passed out, and resources on maintaining a healthy sex
life were available. In addition to
booths, the event was served food,
water, snacks, candy, and back and
hand massages. Thee event also
featured a red carpet where people
had the opportunity to strut down
with confidence and make the statement of "I am beautiful and proud."
Jenilee Remigio, the Communication Coordinator at the Women's Center said, "The purpose of the event is
for women to embrace their bodies
as who they are, what they look like,
and know that they are beautiful just
the way they are, and to challenge
society's beauty standards." Unfortunately, society has put a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way.
This pressure can be found mostly in
American media, which presents
certain images to young girls of
what a woman should look like
and what beauty is. TV comj mercials have also become much
r
more provocative. The only way
for women to completely break
I out of this ingrained body imf age idea is by completely loving
themselves, and throwing away
\ the idea that beauty only comes
in one form. It is the opposite,
I beauty comes in many forms.
Loving your body is an
important that the Women's
;
Center values. If you are dealing with body issues, have low
[ self esteem, or you just need
someone to talk to, feel wel§ come to visit the Women's
| Center on campus for support.

A student and a veteran
An insight look into the lives of military students
BY VANESSA CHALMERS
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
Honoring our Veterans is an annual tradition come Nov. 11. For those of us who
may not be directly linked to veteran, the
perception of one may often be misconceived as an older, pony-tailed grandpa,
eager to reminisce about the old days.
While many of our grandparents, indeed,
are veterans and worthy of that stereotype, the image is not all-encompassing.
At CSUSM, veterans walk our halls, are in
our classes, and share the same burdens of
student life as us. However, their academic
lives are tinged with the experiences that
only a life in the armed forces can bring.
When asked what one of the most challenging parts about returning to civilian
life as a student has been, vet Elijah Artiaga confesses, "Making friends." Having
come out of an camaraderie formed with
the people he served four years in the Marines with, finding people with common
life experiences has been a difficult mission but, Artiaga is not alone. The Veteran's Center at CSUSM, located in Cougar
Central, offers a common ground for veterans to hang out. Fellow vet Nighat Beg explains that after having served in* the Navy
for 10 years, the Veteran's Center has allowed her to meet people and make lasting
friendships outside of service. For Beg, her
challenge came in the form of fashion. "I
had to buy more civilian clothes!" she said.
Approaching college with years of
military experience in tow has definitely
instilled some beneficial learning tools
in many student vets. Responsibility and
punctuality are two things veteran Aaron
Green has been glad to apply to his academic career. "I come to class and hear
students make weak excuses about being late, because their alarm clocks were
broken, and I think, 'Really? Your alarm
clock was broken?'" Many veterans, like
Artiage, join the armed forces to fund their
college education, either attending school
while in service, or resuming their education after their service is complete. As a
result, student vets come to college with
more life experiences than the incoming
first years who transition to college straight
from high school. Often times, their experience in the service influences their career
path, like Beg, who explained that having
worked with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients in the Navy has
inspired her to pursue a graduate degree
in Social Work, specializing in PTSD.
For incoming student veterans, Beg encourages openmindedness. Moving from a
highly organized environment to one that is
more lax in time, duties, and even fashion,
it is important to "think outside the box"
and be open to new situations. As for the
upcoming holiday, our vets have veterans
of their own they would like to honor, such
as Green's friend Erik Wegmann in the
Navyfightingpiracy off the coast of Africa,
and Chad Geddes' family member Carlos
Ashlock, who went MIA during Vietnam.
As Nov. 11 draws near, The Pride
encourages you to remember to honor
the veterans past and present who have
dedicated their lives to make ours what
it is in this country: free, strong, and resilient. Thank you to Nighat Beg, Aaron
Green, Elijah Artiaga, Chad Geddes, and
Travis Riley for their contributions to this
piece and for their service to our country.

�Highlighting some of the most iconic war films
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Goriest War Film: Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Director Steven Spielberg propelled war movies to new heights with his adaptation of the horrific reality of
World War n . This action packed film, starring Tom Hanks as Capt. John H. Miller and an all- star cast (Matt
Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore) set the standard for one of the most graphic battle scenes in a
movie. The first 15 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" begins with the June 6 1944 and Allied troops storming of the beaches of Normandy, France. The worst part of this opening scene is a dying soldier lying on the
ground screaming for his mother while his entrails are falling out of his stomach. "Saving Private Ryan" is
not a movie for the faint hearted. The film wonfiveAcademy Awards.
Honorable Mention: Black Hawk Down (2001)
Best Depiction of the War on Terrorism: The Hurt Locker (2009^
Last March, "The Hurt Locker" scored six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) making Kathryn
Bigelow thefirstfemale director to win Best Picture. Jeremy Renner plays the lead as Sergeant First Class
William James, leader of a highly trained bomb disposal team. Set in the year 2004 in Baghdad, the movie
focuses not on political or social problems, but the hardships of a soldier's tour of duty. Dangerous bomb
diffusion scenes reveal the skill it takes to survive in a place where nobody can be trusted. "The Hurt Locker"
shows the intensity and stress war can put on the soldier.
Honorable Mention: No End In Sight (2007)
Best Romance in a War Film: Gone With The Wind (1939)
"Gone With The Wind" appeared at a time in American history when life in our country was bleak. The country had suffered through the Great Depression and World War II was engulfing all of Europe. The plot of the
film - the tumultuous period of the Civil War - paralleled to the catastrophe Americans were suffering through
during "Gone With The Wind's" release. Thisfilmbecame an instant American classic. Clark Gable (Rhett
Butler) and Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O' Hara) portray one of the most heart wrenching romances in a movie.
O'Hara suffers through losing her status, husbands, innocence and strength, a child, and ultimately, her true
love (Butler).
Honorable Mention: Casablanca (1942)
Least Historically Accurate: The Patriot (2001)
Set in 1776, during the American Revolution, "The Patriot," follows the life of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) a French-Indian war hero. Martin lives as a farmer in South Carolina with his seven children. Martin
remembers the brutality of the French-Indian war and decides to remain on the sidelines of the Revolution,
until his family is endangered by British troops. Some of the inconsistencies of this film are a torching of a
church full of people (never happened), slaves being able to enlist in war (never would have happened) and
an unfair exaggeration of British aggression toward Americans. This film did not make as much as it was
projected to at the box office.
Honorable Mention: Pearl Harbor (2001)
Best Philosophical Message in a War Film: Apocalypse Now (1979)
"Apocalypse Now" explores the madness of the Vietnam War. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, "Apocalypse Now" delves into the minds of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) and Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando)
during one of the most horrid wars in history. Cpt. Willard is sent to kill an insane Kurtz, but this journey
changes Willard in ways he did not know possible. Coppola explores human nature and the darkness war can
instill on the human mind.
Honorable Mention: All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)

THE FIGHT CONTINUES in Call of Duty: Black OPS
New enhanced technology enables multiplayers to enjoy new missions in a whole new way
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The war rages on as "Call
of Duty: Black Ops" arrives in stores on Nov. 9.
Developer Treyarch and game
publisher Activision brings players back to the Cold War. This
new installment of the "Call
of Duty" game series is a sequel to "Call of Duty: World at
War.*' The game will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360,
Nintendo DS, Wii and PCs.
For the collectors within the
community, the limited Hardened
Edition includes the game in a
metallic case with four special
co-op maps, an exclusive Xbox
Live/PlayStation Network avatar and a medal in a display case.
For the die-hard fans, the limited
Prestige Edition package includes
the Hardened Edition set plus a
remote-controlled vehicle that
looks similar to the new RC-XD
killstreak with its remote. The
Prestige Edition is only available
for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems.
According to the game's official website (www.callofduty.
com/blackops),players have more
options to their gaming experience. Unlike the previous games,
"Black Ops" offers the choice
of changing the looks of the soldiers. It is one of the newest additions in multiplayer game-play.
Other additions include
Theater Mode, wager matches,
and new killstreaks. The re-,
turn of Treyarch also brings
the return of the zombie co-op
mode, where two players fight
an endless army of zombies.
"Call of Duty: World at War"
was the first to have this mode in
the game. In the single-player
campaign feature, gamers follow the path of a Black Ops
member. Players enter the Cold
War into secret missions and international conflicts. Whether it
is an online multiplayer match
or a new chapter of the campaign, "Call of Duty: Black
Ops" is a brand-new way to play.
