10, the California State
J —^University Board df
Trustees approved a two-step
tuition increase for the Cal State
system. According to a press release by csu.edu, the increase
will sustain enrollment, classes,
and services for current students.
The first tuition increase will
go into effect on Jan. 1, 2011 as
a five percent addition of $105.
A 10 percent increase, $444,
will become effective for fall
2011, according to the CSU.
The addition to already inflated tuition and student fees
have many students wondering
where their money goes. " I'd
want to see more improvements
made to c ampus" said Rachel
Hernandez, a senior majoring
in Kinesiology. "It's rough for
students paying out of their own
pockets, but as tuition increases,
financial aid increases, too."
Students who have been in the
CSU system for several years,
like Monica Rodriguez, a M.A.
student in Literature and Writing, who also received her B.A.
from CSUSM, have experienced the brunt of many fee increases in the last few years. "I
feel angry considering the CSU
system started out free, and its
purpose was to bring higher education to people who couldn't
afford college," Rodriguez said.
Dr. Don Barrett, associate
professor of Sociology, is the
president of the CSUSM chapter
of the California Faculty Association. The Pride approached him
for a comment regarding the CSU
fee increases, and he prepared a
statement on behalf of the CFA.
"In general, CFA has opposed
the fee increases for many of the
same reasons that various student
groups oppose thè fee increases.
We are concerned about the increased debt faced by many students for attending college, the
very high likelihood that higher
fees will discourage some students from getting -the education
that would benefit them, and that
fee increases will further reduce
access to education for students
from social groups that have his- •
torically been under-represented
in education. While the CSU system has been very good at reserving a portion of the fee increases
to address exactly these sorts of
concerns, the fee increases do
become a hard fact of life for a
large portion of students. Given
the current state of the economy,
this is not a good time to be
saddling students with significantly higher educational debt.
"On a broader level, we are
concerned that the fee increases
reflect the state legislature's continued inability to find a way to
adequately support higher education. It is this broader concern
that motivates much of CFA's
legislative actions, including our
efforts to encourage students to
contact their legislatures about
education costs. A related question that comes up with such
fee increases is whether the
CSU administration might, itself, find other means to save
money (e.g., reducing administrative costs) that would reduce

the size of the increases needed.
Along these same lines, CFA has
regularly supported a bill to increase transparency in accounting for the funding of university auxiliaries, but the governor
has now twice vetoed that bill.
"Whether the fee increases
are going to come down to the
individual campuses and result
in an increased number of [class]
sections is something that the administration will decide. Logically, however, it is important
to note that the fee increases do
not necessarily mean an increase
in overall budget for the CSU.
Though the legislature, this year,
returned some of CSU's budget
to levels that were higher than
last year, the state has a new budget crisis as of [last] week. If this
new crisis results in less money
from the state for the CSU than
was promised, then the fee increase is going to have to make
up for some of that deficit. Clearly, the answer to keep us from
having additional needs for fee
increases in the future is political pressure on the legislature."

few technical difficulties started
before the event could proceed.
The
contestants
were
judged
on
three
rounds.
Round one consisted of introducing the contestants and their
Alpha Chi coaches. Enrique Iglesias's song " I Like I t" played during Mr. Italy's (Brandon Barnes)
intro. Some of the .highlights of
the introduction round were Mr.
U.S.A's (Garrett Yack) introduction with Miley Cyrus's "Party in
the U.S.A.," Mr. Ireland's (Nick
Bowser) j ig and Mr. A frica's
(Ashton Harvey) backdrop photo.
During round two of the
competition, the contestants presented themselves in their best
"formal wear." Alpha Chi emcees asked the participants numerous questions and the boys
were graded on their responses.
Cameron Mclaws (Mr. Scotland)
was asked what he would do if
he won the lottery. He answered,
" I would give most of the money to my parents, since they are
great supporters of mine and
travel with the rest." Justin Mon-
tes (Mr. Jamaica) was asked to
use three adjectives to describe
himself to which he responded,
"Short, dark and handsome."
Mr. Australia (Ken Lalonde)
presented himself in his military attire and responded to the
question, "What is the biggest
goal you have accomplished?"
Round three displayed each
person's talent. The contestants
proved to be stiff competition
to each other. Each talent was
a mixture of funny and sweet.
Many of the talents consisted
of dancing and singing. Daniel
Mason (Mr. Iceland) replicated
Napoleon Dynamite's "Vote f or
Pedro" dance, Yack danced to
Vanilla I ce's, "Ice Ice Baby,"
Harvey brought back 90s memories with C isqo's, "Thong Song"
and Paolo Leveratto (Mr. Mexico) sang along with Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have
Fun." Brian Buttacavoli (Mr.
Brazil) presented a self-penned
song and piano composition to
the Alpha Chi girls. Buttacovoli
dedicated the song to his mom.
While the judges deliber-
ated on the winner, the Alpha
Chi women raffled away gift
baskets including a CSUSM
g ift basket, San Diego Chargers
and Padres g ift baskets and a
holiday g ift basket donated by
the sorority Alpha Xi Delta.
Leveratto
(Mr.
Mexico)
placed as contestant with most
supporters. Harvey (Mr. Africa) came in third place, while
Bowser (Mr. Ireland) placed second. The big winner of the night
ended u p being the contestant
who "joined a week before the
competition," Brian Buttacavoli
(Mr. Brazil). Mr. Alpha Chi 2009
crowned Buttacavoli "Mr. Alpha
Chi 2010." Buttacavoli said it
felt "Absolutely, phenomenally
amazing" to be crowned Mr.
Alpha Chi 2010. He hopes to be
"the best representation f or Alpha Chi Omega that he can be."

I c an't speak f or the community at large, but I , f or one, am
sick and tired of commercials.
But I o ften find myself in a bit
of a pickle. While I may hold
a deep-seated hatred f or commercials, I have an even more
p owerful love of television.
For instance, take The Office.
I have been a loyal f an since its
inception. But I find it hard to j ustify allocating half an hour of my
night to watch a 20-minute show
with 10 minutes of commercials.
So herein lies the dilemma:
H ow can I watch my favorite shows without having to sit
through all the advertisements?
Luckily, we all live in a society
f ull of technology that can help us
avoid the over-saturation of commercials in our popular media. I
feel it would be prudent to state at
this point I will only be examining
the legal ways to get around commercials, though I still acknowledge that there are alternative
methods to access these shows
f ree of advertising that are not
strictly legal. You will j ust have
to discover those on your own.
The first method I would highly suggest trying out is a digital
video recorder (DVR), or Tivo
device that is becoming standard
equipment included in cable television packages. Not only does
this f ree up time, but gives you
complete freedom over when you

¡PHONE APPS FOR BUSY STUDENTS
TAKING A LOOK AT FIVE O F THE MOST USEFUL APPS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
P RIDE STAFF WRITER
As the iPhone's popularity
continues to grow, so does the
need f or apps that serve a wider
variety of users. With a wealth of
apps and f unctions, the iPhone's
r ole in the student l ife has become an extension of the laptop f or some and a mere device
to text friends f or others. While
making the most of the device's
social capabilities is important,
the iPhone o ffers so many apps
that the most u seful ones f or
students o ften get overlooked.
The price of these apps ranges
f rom f ree to a round$10. Although
most professors w on't allow the
use of phones in class, these apps
can be u seful outside the classroom to further enhance a student's learning habits or change
and email a text document when
a laptop has been left at home.
H ere's a list of the most useful apps f or students on campus.
Evernote- Find yourself needing an easier way to organize,
short memos? Evernote is a
popular app that allows the user
to make a quick text note, attach a web page, record a voice
memo, take a photo, or take a
screenshot. The app gives you the
ability to add a tag to the note,
making the selection easy to find
when searched for. Price: Free
JotNot Scanner Pro- The
dream of scanning papers and
keeping them in your pocket is
now a reality with JotNot. This
app detects the size and lighting of papers to maximize its
visibility f or later viewing. If
you ever wanted to copy a page
out of a library book without
checking it out, JotNot makes
it faster than ever. Price: $0.99
iStudiez Pro- Managing dead-
lines and class schedules can be
a difficult task f or any student.
This app takes charge of the hectic student life and organizes it
into an easy to navigate calendar
and planner. From labs to study
groups, iStudiez Pro keeps your
assignments and school schedule neat and tidy. Price: $2.99
AirSharing- One of the biggest
concerns on presentation day is
losing the tiny USB device carrying all your information. AirSharing fixes that by turning your
iPhone into a document storage
device, allowing you to take your
files where ever you go without
the need f or keeping track of another USB drive. Price: $2.99
Quickoffice Connect Mobile
Suite- Although i t's the most
expensive on the list, Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite is
one of the most u seful apps f or
students. Forget about lugging
around the laptop, this app gives
you the option of opening, creating, and making revisions to Microsoft Office documents using a
number of file extensions. Once
y ou're finished, y ou're given
the option of sending the document out as an email. Price: $9.99

Annual event on campus to help students quit smoking
BY SUZANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Student Health and Counseling Services is hosting an event
on campus at Kellog Library Plaza on Thursday, Nov. 18, from 11
a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to celebrate the
American Cancer Society's 35th
Annual Great American Smokeout. The Smokeout is a nationwide
event for smokers that aims to inform and encourage people to stop
smoking and live a healthier life.
There are many Great American Smokeout events held
throughout California. CSUSM is
one of many Californian universities to host an event and CSUSM
is also one of many smoke-free
universities, where smoking
is limited to designated areas.
With more than 12 million
deaths since 1974 and an estimated 400,000 deaths a year, tobacco use is the largest preventable
cause of death in the country. According to The American Cancer
Society, 30 percent of all cancer
deaths are related to smoking.
Their statistics also claim that
3,400 nonsmokers die each year
f rom being exposed to smoke,
known as secondhand smoking.
The Great American Smokeout became a nationwide event
in 1977 and has since brought
forward many tobacco related issues and helped start a revolution
against tobacco and smoking. The
annual event started in 1971 when
Arthur P. Mullaney suggested
people stop smoking for one day
and give the money they would
have spent on cigarettes to a high
school fund. The second event f uelling the development of today's
Great American Smokeout was in
1974 when Lynn R. Smith started
the first "Don't Smoke Day" in
Minnesota. Today, smoking is
banned in many public places,
and there is raised awareness of
how harmful smoking can be.
Anti-tobacco
organizations
and individuals have helped the
fight against tobacco use in many
ways. One of the latest big changes in the market is the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act, which was signed
into law in 2009. That gave the
FDA regulatory control over
the tobacco industry's marketing practices, in hopes of keeping tobacco related products and
commercials away from children.
To participate in the event on
campus, all you need is a commitment to quit or to give up
smoking for a day. If you are a
nonsmoker, you can sign up to
be a grassroots advocate and help
create a smoke-free environment
and smoke-free communities.
Gabriel Pena, a student at
CSUSM, said of the Smokeout,
"I have never heard of the event
before, but I think it sounds
cool that they help people quit
smoking. It is so bad for you."
If you are ready for the challenge to put out your last cigarette, the American Cancer
Society has self-help guides
and support for those wanting to quit on their website.
If you are not there yet and not
totally ready, the event supports
smokers to at least think about
the consequences and try to not
smoke for the day the event is held.

Here at C SUSM, we have no
football team. Y ou've probably
noticed. T here's no doubt that we
have some great sports teams dedicated soccer players, neversay-"die" track and field people,
even a champion surf team. We
j ust d on't happen to have an organized football department.
But woe unto you if you think
that means there's no football on
campus. The yearly CSUSM Intramural Football Championships
j ust barely came to a conclusion. There was m ud. There was
glory. At, least a couple people
got kicked in the shins. All in
all, that's a great sporting event.
But what about football f or
people who are n ot, shall we
say, football-inclined? I admit,
when I watch the commentators on TV do all those " X"s and
" 0"s to explain strategy, it looks
to me like Salvador Dali playing
tic-tac-toe. How do you follow
the game when all you see are
people running back and forth
and occasionally hitting each
other? Good news. What follows
is a guide to football f or people
who d on't understand fdbtball.
Teams are on a field. I 'll save
you the in-depth description of
this since I 'm sure y ou've seen
one in person or in the movies.
The field is divided into five-yard
sections by lines. Those big numbers you see indicate how close
said line is to the goal post on
each end. On one side, we have
the o ffense. You can tell who
they are because one of them has
the ball. The guy who throws the
ball is the quarterback. The football position naming folks were
big fans of the word "back":
quarterbacks, halfbacks, fullbacks, etc. In f act, it would appear t hey're big fans of fractions
as well. Anyway, let's not get
too caught up in the names. The
main point: a center throws the
ball between his legs backwards
to the quarterback. I 'm not making this up. The quarterback then
throws the ball to a halfback or a
wide receiver. Maybe some other
players, too. Honestly, it could
be anybody. I c an't really tell,
and I 'm writing f rom personal
observation and Google. Hopefully, the "somebody" is on the
quarterback's team. If h e's not,
i t's called an interception, meaning someone f rom the other side
intercepted the ball. You can tell
when an interception happens, because there will usually be a lot of
angry people on and off the field,
and the coach of the offense team
will appear to be cussing. He may
appear to be cussing quite a i nt.

Opposite the offense, you have
the defense. You can tell when
t hey're playing because usually
two members of the crowd will
hold up a letter " D" and a cardboard f ence. I 'm not making
this u p, either. Also, the defense
is easy to spot since they d on't
have the ball, and they d on't look
too happy about it. Everyone on this side is trying
to stop the offense f rom
moving the ball towards
the defense's goal post.
One could even say t hey're
defending it, har har har.
This can involve several
types of shenanigans, including knocking over the
guy who catches the ball,
knocking over the guy who
throws the ball, and trying
to keep guys f rom catching the ball by entrapping
them in bear hugs. Football
seems to me a pretty loving sport, all in all, with
the amount of hugging.
So what's the point?
mm
With the hugging and
knocking down, or "tack-
1
wmEBBm
ling" f or terminology f undamentalists, and running around?
Players are trying to score. Which
could be said of any sleazy club
on a Saturday night, but in this
case, the offense is trying to run
with the ball to the end of the field
the defense is trying to protect.
When thev reach this end, thev
have made a touchdown. They
will then throw the ball down,
which seems kind of rude since
some poor schmuck will have to
pick it u p, and then they dance
around. I think the game could be
spiced up by randomly dancing
on other parts of the field, but so
far, no team has taken my suggestion. A fter the touchdown, they
can score another few points by
either running the ball through the
touchdown area again, or kicking it through the goal post (the
thing that looks like a square-ish
Y at the end of the field). I guess
this part is so that the kicker on
the team will have something to
contribute to the scoring system,
instead of feeling unimportant
and developing low self-esteem.
I should probably include a
short note about a complex concept I h aven't mentioned yet. If
you ever find yourself stuck with
a football f an, and you have nothing to talk about, j ust mention special teams. I found myself once
on a date with a gentleman who
loved football. Conversation died
out, so I iust said. "How about
the Chargers' special teams, e h?"
I d idn't have to say a thing f or
the rest of the evening . Jn fact, if
you ever want to please a football
f an in your l ife, just give them a
piece of paper that says " ONE
FREE COUPON FOR LETTING
YOU TALK ABOUT SPECIAL
T EAMS." Depending on the
man or lady, this may even b e
better than an engagement ring.
So t hat's it. Sure, there are tons
of subtle nuances, and there may
be a lot of people who d on't agree
with me about the hugging part.
But this should be enough to help
you follow a game if you suddenly look u p and find yourself in
the middle of a football stadium.

NEW BOYS ON THE BLOCK: CSUSM BRINGS IN CLASSIC SPORT

CSUSM UNVEILS NEW MEN'S LACROSSE TEAM
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Think basketball and volleyball are the only new sports
on campus? Think again.
The newest team is M en's
Lacrosse, and even though i t's
only a club, it plans to be as competitive as our NAIA-sanctioned
sports. Yes, lacrosse is more
popular on the east coast, but
hey, so are popped collars. Just
d on't try telling club President
Chase Allvord people in North
County d on't care about the sport.
"West coast lacrosse is growing at an incredible rate, and Cal
State San Marcos lacrosse will be
a strong contributor to the quality
of the game at the college level f or
years to come," he said in an email.
M en's Lacrosse joins a diverse
group of already established club
sports on campus, including soccer and surfing. Yes, there is a
soccer team and a soccer club.
Club sports borrow elements
f rom both official sports teams
and intramural sports. Like intra-
murals, they are non-sanctioned
and student-organized. Like sanctioned sports, they hold tryouts,
practice, play games against other
schools, and usually even belong
to an organized league, which f or
the lacrosse club is the Southwestern Lacrosse Conference.
Lacrosse became an official club in September, but according to Allvord, "the wheels
started turning as f ar as getting
everything together back in April.
Tryouts f or the team were
held between Sept 1 4 - 1 8 , and
Allvord said they were wildly
successful. "We had 22 guys
come out. It was great to see the
enthusiasm everyone had f or lacrosse. We are going to have another week of tryouts following
the start of the spring semester.
"There were a lot of guys who
did not know about the team in
September and want to play, so
w e're going to give them the opportunity to play in the spring."
Other clubs in the conference include large schools,
small schools, private schools
and public schools. So far the
schedule includes UC San Diego,
Marymount College, Occidental College, Concordia University, and Cal State Long Beach.
Some schools f rom the conference have had club lacrosse
f or years, but Allvord thinks his
squad is ready. "Everyone on the
team is ready f or the responsibility of representing CSUSM," he
said. "We are committed to playing high-quality lacrosse against
high-quality
competition."

SEIDENGLANZ SENDS CSUSM MEN'S SOCCER INTO A.I.I. SEMIFINALS
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
CSUSM M en's Soccer came
within inches of its 2010 season
coming to an end on Tuesday, but
the resilient Cougars battled b ack,
defeating Thomas University (GA)
3-2 in overtime to advance to the
AJJL
Tournament
Semifinals.
Fifth-seeded
C SUSM
improves to 12-3-2 on the season.
Fourth-seeded
T homas's
season ends with a 9 -6-3 record.
Whether it was the long bus ride
to Arizona or the t eam's general
youth and inexperience, CSUSM
did not come out playing their best
soccer on Tuesday. T he Cougars
conceded a goal in the second minute, getting into an early 1 -0 hole.
CSUSM
would
equalize
about h alfway through the first
half, as Jake Kaiser corner f ound
Erik Mueller, who converted
the opportunity to make it 1 -1.
The Cougars would take their
first lead in the second h alf,
thanks to one of Alex Rodriguez's
trademark throw-ins. H e's created numerous dangerous chances
throughout the season with his long
throw-ins f rom deep in opponents'
territory, and struck again, as his
throw-in was inadvertently headed
into the net by a Thomas player.
That 2-1 score held f or most of
the second h alf, but Thomas equalized with seven minutes l eft to play,
sending the contest into overtime.
A minute and a half into overtime, a Thomas player found himself alone in the box with a near
sure-thing chance to end the Cougars' season. However, he drove
his shot into the bottom of the
crossbar, and it bounced on the
goal line before being cleared o ff.
Finally, CSUSM captain Bradley
Seidenglanz would take matters into
his own hands and end the game. In
the 107th minute, Seidenglanz received the ball on the right side of the
b ox, dribbled across the top of the box,
and drove a left-footed shot past the
very strong Thomas goalkeeper and
into the back of the net, giving Coach
Ron Pulvers' squad the 3-2 win and
advancing them to the semifinals.
"We were not the better team today,
but our guys willed their way to win,"
noted Pulvers following the match.

�HOT OFF THE REEL
A REVIEW OF THE REMARKABLE TRUE STORY TURNED MOVIE " 1 2 7 HOURS"
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"127 Hours" is a triumph of
modern filmmaking, effortlessly
displaying the endless pit of talent within director Danny Boyle
and actor James Franco. Telling the remarkably true story
of Aron Ralston, Boyle blends
heartbreaking fantasy with an
excruciatingly painful reality in a
film that has visual and emotional
resonance. Pulsating with energy,
"127 Hours" traps you beneath a
boulder and keeps you there in
the sweetest of agony as you feel
the crushing weight of desperation and the sharp sting of hope.
Danny Boyle ("Trainspot-
ting," "28 Days Later," and Academy Award winning "Slumdog
Millionaire") and Simon Beaufoy adapted Aron Ralston's autobiography, "Between a Rock
and a Hard Place," bringing
Ralston's amazing experience to
the big screen. Ralston was made
a household name when, while
hiking alone in 2003, he found
his arm trapped beneath a large
boulder, forcing him to amputate
his own forearm with a short,
dull blade. "127 Hours" beautifully brings those long excruciating days Ralston spent trapped,
with limited food and water,
to audiences around the world
as the ultimate survival story.
The way Boyle makes use of
the human senses will linger with
you long after the movie has ended, showcasing his unarguable
talent. Danny Boyle is proof that
long-lasting filmmaking, which
will inspire for decades, is possible within the Hollywood bubble. By the time the film ends you
will feel like you survived with
Ralston and that, together, you
both just accomplished something
no one else in the world ever has.
With your chest constricted from
a feeling you have no name for,
Aron Ralston's story will bury
its way into your mind, acting
as a constant reminder of human
potential and the overwhelming
beauty of the world around us.

Hellogoodbye- Would It Kill
You?- Rocket Science/Wasted
Summer
Forrest Kline is like a phoenix rose out of its ashes. Kline,
the singer and founder of Hellogoodbye, dealt with numerous
lineup changes and stands as the
remaining original member of the
band. After a lawsuit against their
previous record company, Drive
Thru records, and a few more
lineup changes, Hellogoodbye is
ready to start fresh with their second full-length album, Would It
Kill You? The first single off the
album is titled "Getting Old," but
it does not stay true to its name.
The song is as infectious as the
band's 2006 chart topper "Here

Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!.
The new album is sure to propel the band to the charts again.

A&E EDITOR
Disney's latest animated film

evil step-mother, an animal f riend

Rapunzel escapes the long years
of confinement in the tower, and
together the pair discover each

identities along the way. H ere's
what the f ilm's lead voices, actress/musician Mandy Moore
and TV actor Zachary Levi, had
to say about getting "Tangled."
D o you think the film will appeal to both boys and girls?

Zachary Levi: I think it will absolutely appeal to both boys and
girls. I think that was one of the
things Disney wanted to set out to
accomplish. T hey've had a lot of
success in the princess world, and
a l ot of those princess movies also
appeal to boys as well. I mean I

from what I heard,
think that's always an important
message to get across. When you
go to a Disney film you come expecting to be entertained. You're
going to laugh, probably cry if
y ou're a woman, cause I know I
do, and y ou're also going to come
out with a little life lesson. So I
