CSU Republicans denied club status
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
On Friday, the Inter Club Council voted
almostunanimously not to recognize the College
Republicans as an official Cal State San Marcos
club because the political organization has refusedtosignarevisednon-discrimination policy.
One of the qualifications for receiving official club status is the signing of a non-discrimination policy. But the original policy the
College Republicans signed — as well as all
other clubs—was recently changed to include
a statement regarding sexual orientation.
Rob Christensen, president of the College
Republicans at CSUSM, refuses to sign the
revised non-discrimination policy citing personal
religious beliefs.
In its place, Christensen drafted a reworded
policy thatreadthe club would not discriminate

basedon university policy" and leaving out the
specific reference to sexual orientation. University policy also includes a non-discrimination
clause based on sexual orientation.
Christensen's draft is what the ICC rejected
Friday by a strong percentage.
44
The ICC discussed it and they really debated
about it," said Angela Lowder, Associated
Students liaison to the ICC. 'They felt it would
set a bad precedent. They did not accept Rob's
compromise."
With the vote, ICC vice chairwoman Dana
Bruce said the Council sent out a message
saying, "We are not going to let you change it
just for you. If all the clubs have to sign it, then
you have to sign i t" Bruce represents the Alternative Lifestyle Support Organization
(AX.S.O), a gay and lesbian support group on
campus.
"At the ICC meeting, as president of the
soccer club, I voted in support ofICC's decision,"
saidLaura Mitchell, who also serves as president
oftheA.S.44It(thepdicy)shouldnotbe amended
for just one club."
In response, Christensen said he would appeal the decision before the A.S. Council at this
Friday's meeting, warning that certain ramifications may ensue if they do not accept his
compromise.
44
It may not be good for the university to
prohibit us to participate in the university
community," he said in reference to the strong
Republican following in North County.
But Mitchell anticipates the A.S. Council
will uphold the decision made by the ICC.
44
There is a problem if you start making
amendments to it," she said 44This is the state-
ment, except of Rob's club, that all the clubs
agreed to sign."
" I think w e're being treated unfairly,"
Christensen continued. "We've compromised
some and they should compromise a little."
But Lowder countered by pointing out the
diversity of the 21-member Inter Club Council.
"They come to compromises really well. The
only problem so far has been this issue," Lowder
said.
Since the debates began several weeks ago,
rumors have been circulating saying that
Christensen's actions are not supported by his
own club and that the ICC was trying to remove
the Republicans from being active on campus.
44
We are a minority club," Christensen said
pointing out that CSUSM is a liberal campus.
"We have gotten flack from the l eft I'm not
worried about that. The thing that bothers me is
the ICC is trying not to allow us to be on campus.
They want to censor us and not allow us to
adequately communicate our views."
But several ICC members denied the allegations.

"I don't think anyone has wanted to kick out
the Republican club," Lowder said. "It's a

First sorority gets started on campus
With the second fraternity starting on campus, the women of Cal State San Marcos have
come together to create their own Greek organization as the Kappa Chi Omega sorority becomes established here.
"It seems like everybody is interested in
getting this thing going," said Charlene
Blaisdale, the chapter's secretary. "When we
started passing out flyers, everyone was really
excited."
The group officially formed last month and
received nearly 30 pledges.
"We started just because we need more life
on campus," President Denise Eliyas said as one
of the reasons for starting Kappa Chi Omega.
"Another reason is there is nothing for people to
get involved with unless they like the specific
clubs here.
44
Another reason is to make friendships.
There's no real way to meet people except in
class and sometimes that's difficult.
44
We just want to get together and have a
group of people we will know," Blaisdale continued. "We want something that will last outside of school and after college. It's not like high
school; college is a whole different ball game."
Blaisdalesummeditupby saying the sorority
would "promote sisterhood."
In the short time the group has been in
existence, they are already heavily involved in
community activities,
"Right now, were tryingtoget involved with
the retirement homes — visit them," Blaisdale
said. 44We want to brighten the elderly people's
day.
"We're also involved with Mealson Wheels."
Blaisdale said the members are currently being
trained for the voluntary positions. They will
work for Meals on Wheels twice a month.
"We want to give back to the community
what we get," Eliyas said.
Kappa Chi Omega is advised by Sandy Punch ,
careercenterdirector. "She offered and we took
her up on it," Eliyas said. "She's helped us
through a couple of rough spots. She basically
lets us go on our own, but she's there if we need
to bounce some ideas off of her."
Advising a Greek organization is not new to
Punch. She also serves as advisor for the Sigma
Phi Delta fraternity.
"Sigma Phi Delta? They're pretty gung ho
about us," Eliyas said. "We've done things with
them and we plan to do things in the future.
(Together) it's giving the students more of a
voice on campus."
The secondfraternityis just getting started.
Currently, the pledged sisters are going
through a pledge time. "It's a period of time
where they get to know us and we get to know
them," Eliyas said. "We're going through that
right now."
Part of the pledge time includes several
projects and tasks. Eliyas said one of those is to
come up with a sorority song. "Basically, it's
unity-forming tasks," she said.
H ie only qualifications are a 2.0 minimum
GPA and enrollment in at least six units.
44
This semester we're being pretty lenient,"
Eliyas said about the qualifications. "We're
tryingtorecruit people that have a good attitude
and can get along with others—people who are
willing to work as well as have fun."
"Right now, i t's more play-it-by-ear because
we're so new. We're making our criteria as we
g o/' Blaisdale said. "But we do want someone
who has a good attitude about life and a positive
outlook."
Out of the original sisters who pledged, only
19 have stayed with the sorority. Those students
who did not stay with Kappa Chi Omega were
not turned away, Eliyas said. They chose not to
join for personal or scheduling reasons.
At this time, the sorority is not accepting any
more pledges. For interested students who want
to join next semester, Eliyas said: "Set their
Wednesday evenings aside because that's when
we meet."

San Marcos campus plans for Tardeada
The Latino Association of Faculty and Staff and the California State
University's Hispanic Advisory Committee will host the first Tardeada.
The Tardeada, a rich cultural tradition where family andfriendscome
together to socialize, eat and dance, will be Nov. 21from4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
with a dance followingfrom7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The Tardeada's goal is to introduce the new campus to the Latino
Community and raise funds for scholarships and enrichment activities
for Latino students. The evening will include entertainment, buffet
dinner, information about the University, and campus tours.
A contribution of $ 15 per person will reserve attendance. Contributions above that amount will go to the Latino Scholarship Fund. Checks
should be made payable to CSUSM Foundation/Tardeada and sent to

Tenured layoffs rescinded by trustees
Tenured and tenured-track faculty will not be laid off this academic

meeting, but he warned that layoffs are almost inevitable for 1993/94.

Layoff notices for the 1993/94 year could have to be sent in March

CSU seeks more land
The CSU will file.an application with the U.S. Department of
Education to acquire up to 2,000 acres of Fort Ord, an Army base near
Monterey destined for closure in two to three years.
The CSU would move the San Jose State off-campus center now in
Salinas to the new site, with the eventual goal of developing a fullservice campus of 25,000 FTE students by about 2015. The proposed
university would emphasize science, math, foreign languages and
international education.
Because it is considered surplus federal land, the property is expected
to cost California taxpayers little or nothing.
On-campus concerts planned
The arts and lectures program of Cal State San Marcos is hosting the
following concerts:
• The CSUSM Student Andean Ensemble will perform Dec. 1 at
noon in Room 14-102. Under the direction of CSUSM professor Don
Funes, the ensemble will perform musicfromBolivia, Ecuador and Peru

Dome Cafe. SelectionsfromHandel's "Messiah" will be performed.
• The CSUSM Student African Drum and Dance Ensemble will
perform Dec. 8 at noon in the Dome Cafe. Under the direction of
CSUSM professor Komla Amoaku, the ensemble will perform traditional West African music and dance.

send a message to another instantly through a computer

to be quite powerful.

More recently, communications
through the E-mail have propagated
two issues affecting all factions of
campus.
The f irst was a F ree Speech
movement centered around a Mission
Statement bulletin board located in
the Commons Building's Dome area
A number of people added their
comments and mini-editorials to the
E-mail files; everyone from students
to administrators was involved in the
communication.
"The discussion on the Mission
Statement Storyboard has raised my
eyebrows, and I feel the need to take
a second and comment," is how Anthony Dunn started his entry into the
six-page,double-sidedprintedvasion
of the E-mail debate.
Dunn's entry shows that this form
of communication is quick and easy.
" ... take a second.. . "is all it took for
Dunn.
It was then that the students tapped
into the power of the E-mail.
Just weeks lata*, that opportunity
is being used again as students and
other computer-bearing staffmembers
discuss the issue of no Grievance
Policy and the effects thereafter. In a
period of two days, five people had
added their comments to the communication string.
But with the recent issues being
made public through the E-mail, another debate comes to the forefront: Is
the E-mail considered a public forum
or should it be regulated?
"Ihavereadwithincreasingdismay
thediscussion on electronic mail about
an issue involving a specific professor. Public forums are just not the
appropriate place for a conversation
about a specific faculty member, staff
members or s tudent," R ichard
Millman, vice president of Academic/

transmission.
Professor DavidAvalos responded:
"At what point should we be limited
from using the E-mail to communicate: three persons, four, four hundred?
"Could you please provide us with
a list of what your office considers
'appropriate' subjects for E-mail
communication,'' Avalos also asked.
As CSUSM strives to become the
university of the 20th century, the Email debates will truly challenge its
character and the lengths to which it
will go to ensure free speech.

Administration must
start listening to the
student voice, concerns
Cal State San Marcos President Bill Stacy told the first
class that they, the students, are why this campus is here.
He expressed his enthusiasm and the years of preparation
was finally rewarded as the university accepted its first
students.
But in the first three years of CSUSM, the administration here has lost sight of Stacy's exciting vision. The
university has set a precedent of not listening to the student
population on key issues and is now not treating the student
voice with the respect and professionalism it deserves.
O UR VIEWS
Feminist movement with a new twist
Before you read this editorial, I think it is important that you
understand my position on the women's movement
I believe that women have and are currently not given the same
opportunities in this world aswhite men. Women are smarter and
possess a greater depth of understanding than men (generally
speaking).
I do not believe, however, that women are better than men. I do
not think that men are better than women either. Both sexes
represent unique parts of what should be an equal race.
The Mission Statement at CSUSM advocates global and gender
sensitivity. Unfortunately, some women have interpreted the Mission Statement as a declaration of war upon white males.
I continually see a disturbing trend toward militant feminism
with students at this university that Ifindto be socially dangerous.
Many are falsely led to believe that the extreme, male-hating fringe
of the feminist movement represents a status quo of feminism.
The movement suggests that all males are gynephobic, or
harbor a natural and complete contempt for women. Gynephobic
males are subconsciously certain that women will someday rise up
and knock them off their throne of social dominance. They have a
universal contempt for women that is socially and possibly genetically ingrained in their beings.
As a result males will continue to degrade women in order to
shackle them to the lower rungs of the social ladder. Every move
a man makes is intended to subdue and degrade women. Certainly
there must be some exceptions to the rule of universal gynephobia.
I'm sure there are more than a couple gynephobic males
climbing the ivory towers of corporate America I am also certain
that such men represent as small afractionof society as the militant
feminists.
Yet, there is an indication in this university that most women
should blame men for all social problems and rise up against them.
Some women are possessed with gandrynoia, a fear that behind
every bush or societal construct lurks a contemptuous male animal.
The problem with the militant feminist philosophy lies in its
extreme hatred toward males.
I remember seeing a militant feminist film in class where
women justified murdering males only because they were males.
Although the instructor said she did not advocate such actions nor
support this kind of extremist feminism, the approval rating of the
movieby women in the class was shockingly high.

This university should in no way support or encourage its
instructors to advocate a militant feminist philosophy just as it
should not support endorsing the skinhead movement or sexual
discrimination. Hatred is wrong regardless of where it may be
directed.
An instructor who advocates racism would be relieved of
teaching responsibilities at this university. So should an instructor
who advocates the violent fringe of the feminist movement.
Currently the radical feminist sector hides behind the doctrine
of Political Correctness for protection. The P.C. philosophy suggests that equality can be achieved only by establishing quotas and
undermining the historical impact of white males upon this society. lit suggests that no punishment is too great for the past
repressions executed by white males.
The P.C. movement inherently discriminates against white
males. It is fascism in its purest theoretical form. Anyone who does
not subscribe to P.C. rhetoric is automatically assumed to be a
bigot and a woman-hater. Its ability to accept and interpret actions
is no less subtle than McCarthyism.
Let us not confuse the aspirations of this university's Mission
Statement with the flawed, discriminatory doctrine of Political
Correctness. CSUSM's Mission Statement does not condone
discrimination toward anybody by any class of people. Contrary to
P.C. beliefs, this includes white males.

EDITORIAL
Students were caught off guard in 1990 when it was
reported that Student Evaluations of teachers were notread
by the administration. At that time, the Academic Senate
had not had the adequate amount of time to properly
prepare the evaluation forms to satisfaction; instead, the
submitted forms were returned to die teachers for their
personal growth.
Theadministration said theevaluations would be looked
at in future reviews. But have they? Inside sources say no.
Recently, the issue of free speech became prevalent
with the placement of the Mission Statement Day board.
Students were not consulted when the board was ordered
to be removed from die Dome area nor were the asked their
preference prior to the university's decision to appoint the
officialfreespeech area.
The students rose up with a force and power never
before seen at CSUSM. They wanted to be heard. In shock,
the administration stopped to listen. Now the issue is stuck
in committee—but the board is still standing in the Dome.
Last week, however, the administration refused to listen to the students' voice. In fact, the university is playing
a name-calling game and attacking student comments as
innuendo and hearsay.
How dare you. If the administration is not willing to
take the students concerns seriously, then how do you
expect the same respect back? How can you ignore the
complaints by trying to brush them aside with slanderous
remarks? It is even more astonishing when the issue is not
of voice orrights,but valid complaints of sexual discrimination.
This newest issue deals with the lack of a grievance |
policy. Because there is no such policy on campus, several
student complaints of sexual discrimination have been
buried, ignored or just tossed aside. If they would have
been handled with respect and professionalism of truly
concerned educators, then a grievance policy would have
been drafted. It would have been drafted then, not now
months later.
Slowly but surely, the administration's toss of student
interestisonaroll—andit's gaining speed. Stop! Get your
noses out of the architectural blueprints of this campus and
pay attention towhat you'rebuilding. This university must
revitalize its commitment to the students or there soon may
not be anyone interested in attending this fledgling campus.

Biblical beliefs don't
belong in sexual debates
In the last issue of Pioneer, Nov. 3, an article
by a professor Irving F. Davis appeared. For
those of you who may not have read it, you have
missed out on a virulent attack upon the gay,
lesbian and bi-sexual community that was inspired by nothing more than irrational
homophobia, ignorance, and blatant religious
bigotry.
The Alternative Lifestyles Support Organization, A.L.S.O, was accused of using Qxning
Out Day to, "espouse its homosexual views.*
Y OUR VIEWS
PUBLIC
FORUM
What Coming Out Day is all about, and what
AJL.S.O. was trying to accomplish, was simply
stating that we have a right to exist, to live out
our lives, and that there is nothing wrong with
who we are, but that the problem is rather with
individuals who want to persecute us because of
who we are.
Another fault with professor Davis' argument is that ours is a chosen lifestyle. He is only
partially correct I knewfromthe time that i was
12-years-old that I had homosexual feelings. To
me, and others like me, the only choice was
whether to accept these feelings, and forge
honest loving relationships with like minded
individuals, or to live a life of denial,filledwith
self hatred because of something I , or anyone,
has no control over, and that is our sexual
orientations. Those of you who aie purely heterosexual, who have never had any doubt over
your sexual orientation, can testify to this. It
would be as impossible for you to lead a happy
homosexual lifestyle as it was for me to lead a
happy heterosexual one!
The Constitution of the United States of
America states clearly thatfreedomof religion
shall be the law of the land, there in the First
Amendment. Yet at every turn various
homophobes are using their religious codes,
that of the Bible, to enforce their religious bias
against me, and claiming all along that theirs s
the traditional "American Views." By doing
this, these right wing fundamentalist are being
in essence, unconstitutional and un-American.
Furthermore, by claiming that the Bible has
more proven true for over 2,000 years us also a
fallacy, for this text claims that the Earth is flat,
and that it is only a mere 6,000 years old. Both
of these views have been proven untrue, along
with a whole host of others that would take too
long to detail, not to mention that the Bible
represents only one of the world's many diverse
religions.
Let us recognize what this professor Davis,
from another campus not this one I should add,
is proposing. This article he has written is filled
with nothing more than hatred. If you doubt this,
simply change the word "gay" to the word
"Jew," or "African American," and the bigotry
becomes obvious.
Let us not censor these views, instead let us
hold the pundits of these views accountable for
what they say and believe. Let us not attack
personally the holder of these views, but instead
limit our attack to the views themselves. Let us
recognize most of all, that this article was inspired by a fear born of ignorance.

The Next Generation' goes

JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Space, the final frontier.
As the voyages of the starship Enterprise
warp into its sixth season, its mission remains
intact as the television series goes where no
other syndicated show has gone before: No. 1.
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" has
finished as the top original program in
syndicated television for thefirstfour weeks
of this season. That performance puts the
sciencefictionspin-off of the original "Star
Trek" in the No. 6 slot against the major
networks, according to its studio, Paramount
"One of the reasons people are taking
notice is because for yet another year, there's
nothing that compares," Janeen Bjork, a
television sales programmer, told the Los
Angeles Times recently. "I mean, there's a
whole lot of action hours out there that try
and never come close."
A Paramount promotional clip boasts, "In
1991, the series sets record highs and is
blasting ahead of such shows as "Cheers,"
"L.A. Law" and the all-time network heavy
champion: Monday Night Football."
Star Trek was created by Gene
Roddenberry, who supervised thefirstthree
and only seasons for the original series. After
being cancelled in 1969 there was an array of
successful motion pictures, and Roddenberry
started up in 1986 with "The Next Generation."
After Roddenberry's death last year,
Executive Producers Rick Berman and
Michael Pillar have taken the helm and
continue to navigate the crew in search of
new life and civilizations.
But why has the sciencefictionshow
become so popular? There are many reasons,
one being a great following being built up
before "ST:TNG~even began.
"I think more than ever, as television
continues to change, and continues to give the
audience new and different types of programming, there's something wonderful about the
familiarity of Star Trek," Berman said in the
Times. "The familiarity of the show has
always been a key element"
The new Enterprise is truly similar to the
original series, but the new episodes contain
several elements that make it a distinct winner
over its predecessor. One of those factors is
there are families aboard the starship.
"(Star Trek) deals with a family of people
in a future that's much better than the
present," Berman said.
That family characteristic is what drew
Ronald Moore to the series. Moore, now
Co-Producer for the show, started his
Star Trek writing career four years
ago with an episode entitled "The
Bonding."
"I wanted to know what
happens on the Enterprise with
all these families. At that point,
"the series didn't deal too much
with the fact that there are all
these spouses and kids,"
Moore said." I wanted to
know what happens when a
little boy has his mother killed on
an Away Team mission."
Moore told of his many dealings
with "ST:TNG" at San Diego's Star
Trek Convention last week. His stories
gave interesting insights into the science
fiction legend.
One special one for him was his collaboration on "First Contact," an episode where the
Enterprise crew meets a new civilization. His
contribution was that he changed the point of
view of the story p lot
"Instead of telling the story traditionally
from the point of view from die people on the
Enterprise, we told the entire storyfromthe
view of the aliens for a change," Moore said.
"It's an explanation of what i t's like when a
civilization is first visited by aliensfromouter
space who land and want to sleep with their
nurses."
Moore is credited with creating the
Klingon Empire starting with the "Sins of the
Father" episode. "It was the beginning of the
Klingon epic that I became associated with,"
he said.
The Klingons are a barbaric, ruthless
civilization bordering on Federation space. In
the original series and throughout five of the
six movies, the Klingons were enemies. In

SHEILA COSGROVE/PIONEER
There's a rule of thumb to
follow when rating Star Trek films.
The even-numbered ones are
top-of-the-pack action
adventures. The odd-numbered
ones suck moon dust
For some reason, the oddnumbered Trek films fail to capture
that essence which made the television
series so successful—the mixing of
endearing personalities with intergalactic
social problems.
"Star Trek: The Motion Picture," although
rich in special effects, was a universal bore.
The special effects were definitely out-ofthis-world, but the story dragged on two and a
half hours.
Filmed only a few years after "Star Wars,"
"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" is stuck on
the special effects trash barge. It concentrates
on lengthy shots of the unimaginable rather
than dwelling on the endearing characters that
made the television series so successful.
Still, it was good to see the old crew back
again after losing them to the great unknown
for over a decade. In comparison to many of
the other Trek flicks, "Star Trek: The Motion
Picture" lacks depth and originality. It tries to
speak to a basic issue of humanity through
glitz and not the characterizations that
Trekkies grew so fond of.
Three years later, in 1982, "Star Trek II:
The Wrath of Khan" hit the screens with a
power deserving of the series.
Thefilmplaces the ageless Ricardo
Montalban in the role of Kirk's superhuman
adversary Khan. Although Kirk had banished
Khan to a desolate planet many years ago, the
villain resurfaces with a vengeance.
"The Wrath of Khan" draws from Herman

a man obsessed above all else to
conquer and destroy his lifelong
rival. In his quest to kill Kirk,

Moore introduced an array of

Worf s son Alexander, and the
child's mother Kalar. But Moore is
also the writer who killed Kalar in
the series. "Everyone asks: 'Why

"Because it was fun," Moore
answered. He continued to explained that Kalar had a strong

�'Deep Space Nine1
continues saga of
Star Trek legend
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER^
The next chapter of the Star Trek
legend is ready to beam aboard the
air waves. A bold, new series of
characters and adventures comes to
thefinalfrontier when "Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine" premiers.
Paramount studios will introduce
the newest Star Trek saga as a
continuation of "Star Trek: The
Next Generation." As the hit
syndicated television series enters
its sixth season at the top of the
charts, its future is still unknown.
That's where "Deep Space Nine"
comes in.
'There's going to be a lot of
crossover because it occurs in the
same time as 'The. Next Generation," a spokesman for Creation
Entertainment said. "In fact, in the
first episode, the Enterprise will be
bringing members of Deep Space
Nine to the space dock to take their
post there."
Deep Space Nine is an outpost in
a solar system inhabited by a
I civilization known as the Bajor. The'
Starfleet crew will occupy the space
station to bring peace between the
Bajoran society and its neighbors,
the Cardassians.
"We became aware of the
Bajoran society (in 'The Next
Generation'),"Creation said. "The
ancient world of Bajor is a star
system that will be of pivotal
importance.
"For the last century or so, the
Bajorans have been subjugated by
the evil Cardassians. We are
familiar with the Cardassians as
well and they are going to be the
new bad guy in the same way as the
Klingons and the Romulans. Now
it's going to be the Cardassians."
And if playing peacekeeper isn't
enough, the Federation cast has
another galaxy-size problem to deal
with.
'There is an amazing astronomical phenomenon located at the edge
of the Bajoran solar system: a stable
wormhole," Creation continued.
'This wormhole is unique in that it
is totally stable.
"So, the race is on to control the
wormhole."
'Travellers of all kinds are
drawn here, and with hostile alien
empires on all sides, Deep Space
Nine becomes the most strategic
post in the galaxy," Dan Madsen
said in Star Trek: The Official Fan
Club magazine.

The Cal State San Marcos Club's purpose is to "go where no one
has gone before." The fan club is one of the university's first and
most popular clubs.
For more information, contact the Associated Students office.
S.T.A.R.
The Star Trek Association for Revival club is the largest science
fiction society in the San Diego area. The club was founded in 1972
as a Star Trek club and has since expanded to become a general
sciencefictionclub with interests in fantasy, gaming costuming,
writing and films.
S.T.A.R. meets the third Saturday of every month at San Diego
State University. Each meeting has a different theme, from Star Trek
to Star Wars. Club business, entertainment, costume contests,
auctions, films and games are part of the monthly meetings.
With almost 100 active members, S.T.A.R. is open to anyone.
There is a $1 lifetime membership fee. To join, call 286-0377.
Starfleet
Based identical to the Federation of Planets organization portrayed in the Star Trek series, Starfleet is a national organization with
a local chapter called Shuttle Miramar.
Starfleet is a Star Trek fan club with a two-fold purpose: to
provide a vehicle for Star Trek-based entertainment; and a means for
those fans to do community service thus doing their part to bring
about the better future envisioned by Star Trek.
Members joins Starfleet, and earn officer rank by gaining points in
numerous ways. The local shuttle is relatively new and will be

The North County Star Trek Fan Association is quite different
from the other trekker clubs. Its motto is, "We have a life" and have a
focus geared towards the true meaning of Star Trek.
"We do what the original Star Trek was created to do," said
Timothy Dover, the founder of the local group. "What he want it to
be a message of humanity.
Using the Star Trek theme, the organization spends most of its
time doing community service, from assisting libraries to a new
project with the Muscular Distrofy Association. Although the group
does attend the Star Trek conventions, he says the group doesn't like
to entertained as much as they like to do the entertaining.

The biggest fun of "The Wrath
of Khan" is the characters themselves. Captain Kirk is growing old
and in need of glasses and Spock
makes the greatest sacrifice of all,
his life, in the name of logic.
"The Wrath of Khan" may not be
the best Star Trek movie, but it is
my favorite because of the explosive dynamics between the characters. Unlike the first film, the
special effects are good, but not
overbearing.
In "Star Trek III: The Search for
Spock," Leonard Nimoy stepped
apart from his famous role into the
director's chair. If I led you to
believe that all odd-numbered Star
Treks are poor, then this one is an
exception. ' The Search for Spock"
is not a poor movie, just a mediocre
one.

Brooks takes command as Benjamin Sisko, captain of Deep Space
Nine.
"There are all kinds of new terms
and ideas," Avery said about his
new job. "But I'm a rookie, I'm
learning... this is my first time
here."
Brooks' character already has a
grudge against his predecessor,
"Sisko was stationed aboard the
USS Saratoga when Locutus
(Captain Picard as a Borg) came
blowing through and Sisko's wife
was killed," Creation said. "Sisko
has a thing against Captain Picard
because Picard as Locutus saw the
death of Sisko's wife."
Patrick Stewart will guest star in
the two-hour premiere of DS9 as
Locutus, according to Madsen.
Stewart isn't the only "ST:TNG"
cast member to be seen on Deep
Space Nine. Colm Meaney will
continue his portrayal of Miles
O'Brien in DS9 — permanently.
"In a cross over from The Next
Generation, Colm Meaney is
becoming the chief of operations on
DS9," Creations said. "So O'Brien
takes over in Scotty's footsteps
dealing with all the engineering and
technical problems aboard this alien
vessel that has truly not been built
to Federation specs. I t's going to

Other characters include, Rene

Armin Shimerman ("Beauty and the

and Nana Visitor.

The national Star Trek fan club is dedicated to the Klingon

Enterprise to modern-day Earth.
Their vehicle is a Klingon Bird of
Pray, a nifty-looking ship that has
the ability to become invisible. The
Enterprise crew must return two

order to save the planet from a

Even if this all sounds confusing,
it is ever-so-much fun as the crew

modern San Francisco lifestyles.
All I will say about "Star Trek
V: The Final Frontier" is that it isn't
worth the money it takes to rent the
video. Let's just hope that this film,
whichmarked William Shatner's
directorial début, will be his last.
"Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered
Country" is probably the best of the
series.
This installment provides a
bridge between the old Trek series
and the Next Generation. It fulfills
its promise of finding the undiscovered country with its contemporary
and provocative twist on the
formulaic series.
Here the Klingons stop being the
enemies for the first time, in a
storyline that could have been
borrowed from the headlines as the
Eastern Bloc fell. This is the most
intelligent and applicable of all the
Trek films. It sends us the lesson
that peace is the most important
state achievable by any race of
beings.
"Star Trek VI" is supposed to be
the end of the series (just as Star
Trek V was before it). I can think of
no better place for the film to end
then on this high note. Besides,
another movie would put us back to
those bothersome odd-numbered
films.

Jazz reunion
rocks campus
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEBT
Bonnie Biggs met two special
people several years ago: Kevyn and
Gunnar. Kevyn Lattau was an aspiring Jazz singer performing in Del
Mar. Gunnar was her base player.
Bonnie considers that night her
first date with Gunnar. Four years
later, Bonnie and Gunnar married.
Lattau sang at their wedding.
Now, the Biggs work at Cal State
San Marcos and Lattau became the
Jazz star and is now enjoying the
spotlight as she entersapfomotional
tour for her new album, "Simply
l ife."
The three Mends were reunited
last week as Bonnie introduced
Lattau before the singer electrified
GSUSM with her energetic Jazz
music.
Lattau established her credentials
as an experienced and truly talented
singer with "Prelude to a Kiss." With
only a soft accompaniment by Bill
Cantos on the piano, Lattau soothed
the audience and prepared them for a
memorable concert.
The entire band kicked in with an
adapted and energetic version of "I
get a Kick Out of You." Lattau
showed her amazing scattering in
this selection.
In the Cole Porter composition,
she took a Charlie Parker scatter solo
and matched its notes, style and
rhythm. Further, Lattau did what
would seem impossible: she added
lyrics to the complicated repertoire.
Lattau scaled the octaves with
ease. She had the speed of a fox an
her tone is as soft as rabbit's fur. It
definitely moved the audience.
"I pick music that moves me,"
Lattau said after her concert. " I
really don't like to define my style. I
like a lot of variety."
And she sings a wide selection of
music.— from Jazz, to Pop to Brazilian.
Besides numerous styles, Lattau
also has several messages in her
music. This becomes prevalent with
"Will They Know?", a song she
wrote.

Artists in Residence
Ensemble brings music of Andes
as university's own performing group
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a twopart series about Artists in Residence.
A NITA MARCIEL WILLIAMS/PIONEER
Throughout Cal State San Marcos' brief
history as a university, the students have been
fortunate enough to participate in a rich array
of musical and theatrical events. Now, that
unique artistic experience has been expanded
as the university officially recognizes two
groups as being Artists in Residence.
To Bonnie Biggs, Coordinator of Public
Services, the title Artist in Residence proves
CSUSM's commitment to the arts, and to the
dissemination of information about, and the
performance of, the arts.
In other words, Biggs says, "We are
willing to share the goodies (with the whole
community)."
Also serving as the campus' librarian,
Biggs was hired to develop a cultural arts
program, even in the absence of musical
faculty.
"All librarians should be cultural archivists," she said. "We are responsible for
promoting the arts and creating venues for the
arts."
One of her recent programs includes
scheduling a performance by the new Artists
in Residence.
That group, the Cal State San Marcos
Andean Ensemble, will perform Dec. 1 at
noon in Room 14-102. Music presented will
be from Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru, performed on original instruments from the
region.
The ensemble is under the direction of Dr.
Don Funes, Professor of Visual and Performing Arts. He serves as one of the Artists in
Residence at CSUSM.
Both artists in residence, Funes and W.
Komla Amoaku, teach ethnomusicology, the
study of non-European music within a
sociocultural context They both have been
going to local schools, to "engage kids in the
activity," Biggs said.
Funes and Amoaku tell elementary, junior
high and high schools that CSUSM is their
school and that they, the students, are wanted
and expected to attend the new university.
Now, however, the distinction of Artist in
Residence will help fund these community

the C U M Andean Ensemble.

Funes came here in 1989 from Northern
Illinois University, where he had been
chairman of the music department for 11
years. Funes asked Biggs to help him find
Peruvian or Bolivian musicians for him when
he arrived. Not an easy task, but musicians
were found who had an "affinity for the
music", says Biggs.
Both Funes and Amoaku have CSU
student ensembles made up of some students
"who have never held a
musical instrument in
their hands," Biggs said.
With funding cutbacks
in the area of public
schools, a child's normal
interest in music in the
early years goes unsatisfied for the most part, as
the arts are thefirstto be
c ut
ART/MUSIC
But with the presentations of Funes and
Amoaku, "It's magic to watch it happen —
the way these two instructors bring students
and audiences alive with the performance of
music," Biggs said. "It breaks down barriers
that other disciplines do not."
Funes says that he is in California, "trying
to empower the Latino children in the schools
— making a generally positive association
between the university and the community."
The outreach function is very real to
Funes; it is a part of the cultural life of both
the school and the community. This function
is aimed at the diversity of the population,
and includes going to the community colleges
and energizing and vitalizing the classes on
campus, by bringing his own group into
classes to teach, perform and conduct
workshops
Funes said that he was instrumental in
"mapping out a plan of action for how the arts
would grow here" and in the hiring of David
Avalos and Amaoku in his second year. He
helped write the mission statement for a
global arts program and is very involved with
his Andean music group Chasqui.
His philosophy is that the university doors
should swing both ways — professors need to
get off campus and we need to bring community people on campus — to honor traditional
music in thefieldand then to bring it back

said, "that could come into the classroom. They have expertise in their
own culture. They are what musicologists call 'informants* — they can
inform us about their culture. (It is)
more interesting to students to be informed from real informants rather
thanfrombooks, whenever possible.
"One of the reasons I started playing the music of Latin America,"
Funes continued, "was because I was
attracted to the Spanish language."
Because his family is Spanish (the
town of Funes is northeast of Madrid,
Spain) he was attracted to music that
was in Spanish.
"I met a musician from Peru and
the rest is history," he said. "I fell in
love with the music and the culture
and it must have resonated in my
psyche somewhere."
The Andean music his group
Chasqui plays includes Chilean and
Bolivian. "Most of my work's been
done in Bolivia and I was music director of a Bolivian group in Chicago for
six years," Funes said. "They taught
each other to play," he said.
"Bolivia is one of the most traditional countries in Latin America.
Seventy-five percent are Indian and
Mestizo... a lot of native people have
maintained traditions there, whereas
countries like Argentina and Chile
are essentially European countries.
English, Irish Catholics, Germans and
Italians, very few indigenous people,"
he said.
Actually, Funes says that it is not
he who is the Artist in Residence, but
rather the musicians who are considered artists in residence.
"I have my standard academic responsibility of teaching classes," he
explained. "So for me it hasn't elevated my status because I have always played concerts on campus."
But for the Artists in Residence,
it's given them a stature at the university, a recognition.
"Three of the musicians primarily
live by playing music," Funes said. "I
think it's also a very important signal
to the community they live in that the
university honors traditional artists,
that the university has a place for
traditional musicians whether they've
been trained in universities or not.
"And actually the music we all
p lay... there's only one or two places
in the United States where you can
even study this music," Funes said.
"The University of Texas, Florida
State University, University of Illinois and Cal State San Marcos are the
only schools I know of in the country
that have some kind of experience for
students in Andean music.
"We judge these musicians based
on the quality oftheir expression rather
than thequality of their degree or their
education. They're educated in the
field. They're educated within their
culture."

through a full range of emotions,"
Lattau said. "I want to make them
think about things."
"Will They Know?" is about children and the future of the world. She
also sings about the homeless and
peace.
• "I like to sing about things that
people need to be aware of," Lattau
said.
Butthatdoesn'tstopthebandfrom
having fun and a fantastic, sound.
The ensemble jammed with Beth
Carter's "Do Something." Lattau set
the scene with her powerful singing
and then passed it on to the other
musicians.
Cantos again at the keyboards,
Scott Mayo on the sax, James East on
bass and Michael Shapiro at drums
rocked CSUSM.
Lattau ended the night how she
began: with a quiet solo and with
friends. She dedicated "My One and
Only Love" to Bonnie and Gunnar, a
true love story deserving of the relationship the three share.
