There has been a big
change in the beverage department at Cal State San
Marcos. Previously our
campus provided a variety
of brands of beverages, but
now, through an agreement
between University Auxiliary and Research Services Corporation (UARSC)
and PepsiCo, our school
has accepted PepsiCo
as our sole beverage
provider.
"Just the minor
improvements
have made a
huge
difference," UARSC Executive
Director Dora

Recent protests online by
websites and individuals
have caused Congress to delay the vote regarding internet privacy and intellectual
property rights.
The two major acts in the
spotlight are the U.S. House
of Representatives' Stop On-
line Piracy Act (SOPA) and
the U.S. Senate's Preventing
Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft
of Intellectual Property Act
(PIPA).

said.
All over the campus, the
beverage departments have
received makeovers. The
vending machines have a
new look and are more technologically advanced in that
they now accept debit and
credit cards.
"The vending machines
are .more modern, and I really like the Pepsi products
better," freshman Koresh
Dashtizadeh said.
The beverage switch to
PepsiCo is cheaper in the
stores, but costs an extra 25
cents in the vending machines.
The ne\# soda change
features Pepsi, Dr. Pepper,
Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist,
Crush, Aquafina, SoBe,
Lipton, Gatorade, AMP and
Rockstar. They can be found
not only in the vending machines, but also in the soda

One in 500 American college students is infected with
the HIV virus. For a campus the size of Cal State San
Marcos, that means about 20
students are carrying the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which without treatment
causes AIDS, according to
American College Health
Association.
Although the transmission
of HIV has slowed since
it was epidemic in the late
1980s and early 1990s, it
still remains a potent force
on college campuses. According to a report from the
Centers for Disease Control
in Atlanta, young people
ages 13 to 29 accounted for
39 percent of all new HIV
infections in 2009. The highest rate of infection occurs in
people ages 20 to 24, with
a disproportionate infection
rate among gay and bisexual men and young blacks.
AIDS suppresses the body's
immune system, making it
susceptible to secondary infections.
To spread the word about
the dangers of HIV, the university's Student Health &
Counseling Services (SHCS)
department will have free
HIV testing from 1 : 1 5 - 4

"I'd rather drink Rockstar
than Monster; and I like Pepsi much better," freshman
Michael Dalupan said.
There is a conflict of preference among the students
with regards to the beverage
product change. Some students agree and are happy
about the new change, but
others liked the old, Coca
Cola products better.

p.m. on Feb. 7. The event
is geared toward enrolled
students and will include an
information fair. HTV testing will be held at the center,
which is located just east of
campus at 120 Craven Road,
Suite 100.
Through a partnership with
North County Health Services, students can receive free
HIV testing with Ora-Quick
Rapid, a test that requires
just one drop of blood and
produces a result in 20 minutes.
The testing is anonymous,
meaning that the results of
the HIV test will not be entered intQ the student's medical record. The student will
be given a code, and only
the student and the counselor will know the result of
the test. As a result, the test
results cannot be linked to
the student. Center staff can
provide pre-test and post-test
counseling, as well as referrals to trained counselors.
Free testing services will
be offered on the first Tuesdays of each month from
1:15 to 4 p.m. Upcoming
dates are March 6, April 3
and May 1. No appointments
are required. Service is first
come, first served.
The center can be reached
at 760-750-4915.

student Ramon Villhgoz said.
This alignment of enterprises has turned out to be
successful so far, and now
UARSC is set to start the
same process for all the food
vending machines on campus.

Although the California
Dream Act got the most attention when it passed into
law on Jan. 1, there were
more than 750 other bills that
also became law in California this year, and many could
affect students at Cal State
San Marcos.
AB 130, better known as
the Dream Act, has been a hot
topic on campus since Governor Jerry Brown signed it
into law last year. It allows
illegal aliens who've attended California public schools
for at least three years and
graduated from a California high school to apply for
state-funded financial aid at
UC and CSU campuses as
well as community colleges.
Tim Torlakson, the State
Superintendent of Public
Instruction, said the Dream
Act will help many young
Californians afford a college
education that was previously out of reach.
"Our goal for the new year
and every year is to make
education accessible and effective for all children," Torlakson said in a statement.
"These new laws will help
ensure children are safer, enter kindergarten at the appropriate age, learn what they
need to know to succeed in
life and careers, and fulfill
the dream of a college education."
Cal State San Marcos
spokeswoman Margaret Lutz
said some other new laws
that also may affect students
here are AB 194, which offers priority enrollment to
any former foster at any
CSU, UC or community college campuses through 2017,
and SB813, which grants
priority enrollment to former members of the military
(within four years of leaving
active-duty service).
Other new laws on the
California books this year
include:
•A ban on the sale of caffeinated beer
•A requirement that schools
intervene in cases of bullying
of gay students
•A restriction on the sale
of cough syrup containing
destromethorphan (found in
Dimetapp, NyQuil and other
over-the-counter products)
•A ban on the sale of shark
fins (used as a delicacy in
soups by the Chinese)
•Governments or other agencies cannot gather information on people's online reading habits without a court
order
•Mandatory instruction in
the public schools on the
contributions of gay people
•A ban on allowing employers to check applicants' credit reports
•Student athletes who sustain
a possible concussion cannot
play until receiving a doctor's clearance,
•A ban on the use of tanning
beds by anyone under the
age of 18
•A requirement that children
under the age of 8 must be
restrained in a booster seat
while riding in the car
•A ban on therightof citizens
to openly carry handguns
•A requirement that apartment buildings begin recycling programs
•Police can no longer impound a vehicle at a sobriety checkpoint if the driver's

After what has been a season to remember, the 2011
NFL season will culminate
in Indianapolis with Super
Bowl XLVI. With the season
full of prolific passers leading their teams to victory
and breaking records left and

KYLE M JOHNSON
STAFF W R I T E R
Starbucks will be adding
beer and wine to the menu at
several locations in Atlanta,
Chicago and Southern California.
After much customer
feedback requesting a relaxing evening atmosphere in
their stores, Starbucks has
responded by offering this
transition which is said to
occur by the end of the year.
Starbucks intends for these
expansions to take place at
five to seven stores in Chicago and four to six stores
each in Atlanta and Southern
California.
In October 2010, a location
on Olive Way in Seattle, WA
began successfully experimenting with this "evening
day-part" concept of serving
beer and wine, as well as pre-
mium foods. Currently there
are five stores in the Seattle
area and one store in Portland, OR which have adapted
to this expanded menu.
On the Starbucks News
page, spokesman Zack Hutson wrote, "The wine and
beer list will be hand-selected to reflect local customer
tastes and preferences." He
went on to share that stores
will also incorporate flexible
seating to accommodate individuals, small groups and
larger parties.
"At select stores where it
is relevant for the neighborhood, we are focused on creating an atmosphere where
our customers can relax with
a friend, a small bite to eat
and a cup of coffee or glass
of wine," senior vice president of U.S. Operations,
ClariceuTurner said.
Construction is currently
underway at Palomar College as a new planetarium is
being built to replace the former planetarium, which was
demolished in 2008.
The presence of the new
building, which will be located in a different area of
the school than the previous
one, will lead to an expansion of the Palomar campus.
According to the webpage
for the new Palomar College Planetarium, funds received from the passing of
Proposition M in 2006 have
allowed this development
to take place. The webpage
art, open to the college and
the general public.
The webpage also features a New Planetarium
Construction Blog, which
features descriptions, photographs and videos depicting the construction taking
place. In the blog posts, it is
revealed that the planetarium
will possess such features as
a 50-foot dome, 142 seats
and a Digistar 4 projection
system with surround sound
and LED lights.
According to "The Starry
Messenger," Palomar's official planetarium newsletter, the new planetarium will
offer shows to the public
regularly, guided tours of the
current night sky and topical
shows about popular subjects
of astronomy.
The most recent developments to take place at the
construction site have been
associated with landscaping,
carpet installation, fire-lifesafety work and audiovisual
technology.
The grand opening of the
planetarium is scheduled for
early March 2012.

Cal State San Marcos music Professor
Ching-Ming Cheng will host and perform
in a solo piano concert on Jan. 31.
Following her arrival to the university
in fall 2011, this will mark the debut performance of Cheng on campus. The concert will be a musical journeyfromthe
classical era to modern romanticism, featuring compositions from Haydn, Chopin, Ravel and Busoni.
Although she started piano lessons at
the age offive,it was around the second
or third grade when a teacher suggested
that Cheng audition for a musical program that offered formal training at no
charge to those selected. It was at her
teacher's suggestion that Cheng felt a
sense of maturity in her training .
Cheng has since grown into an experienced performer with such credentials as
having been part of the New World Symphony as a keyboardist and in the Taipei
Century Symphony and National Symphony Orchestra playing the double bass.
Prior to joining the faculty at CSUSM,
Cheng taught in the music department at
Humboldt State University. Even though
she felt it was a great program with devoted students, Cheng decided to take an
open position as an assistant professor in
CSUSM's music department.
She has high aspirations for the music
department including the recruitment of
piano major students and composition
students. "I hope we can build a thorough
and complete department," Cheng said.
The free piano recital will take place
Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in Arts Building, room
111.

Tales f ro m t h e n er d side
"Star Wars: The Old Republic"- The forc e is s tron g w it h t hi s o n e
CHRIS
GIANCAMILH
STAFF
WRITER
On Dec. 20, the gaming
world saw the release of
"Star Wars: The Old Republic" and since then it has
quickly become one of the
biggest massive multiplayer
online (MMO) games of all
time. With a heavy emphasis on story, Bio ware's latest
venture is keeping gamers,
such as myself, thoroughly
engaged in the Star Wars
universe.
"The Old Republic" takes
place several thousands of
years before the events of the
films during a time of galactic
unrest. The game is a sequel
to Bioware's single-player
role playing games (RPG)
"Star Wars: Knights of the
Old Republic" and "Knights
of the Old Republic H." In
"The Old Republic," the Sith
Empire has reclaimed their
home world of Korriban and
the Galactic Republic was
forced to retreat to the planet
Tython. Players join either
the Sith Empire or the Galactic Republic.
Within the Sith Empire,
players are given the choice
of four main classes: Sith
Warrior, Sith Inquisitor,
Bounty Hunter, or Imperial Agent. Those who join
the Galactic Republic can
choose to be a Jedi Knight,
Jedi Consular, Smuggler, or
Trooper. Players can customize their characters appearance and choose from a
number of races familiar to
Star Wars fans.
Though the game plays
much like other MMOs,
"The Old Republic" differs
by giving players dialogue
options during cutscenes
which can alter the outcome
and rewards of missions.
Some scenes also have lightside and darkside choices.
Gaining lightside or darkside points can open up more
weapon and armor options.
Throughout their storyline,
players will meet Non-Player
Character (NPC) companions who will aid them in
combat. Each NPC companion is unique to the player's
class. Companions each have
their own special roles. For
example, some are attack
oriented, others have high
defense, and some heal the
player. Players are limited to
one companion's assistance
at a time.
Space combat is another
unique feature to the game.
Players are given their own
spaceship to travel to other
planets and upgrade to engage in space combat missions. The space combat
missions take pltfce in a set
path, but players can somewhat maneuver their ship to
dodge obstacles. Ship upgrades work much like item
upgrades to characters themselves. Some upgrades boost
attack power or defensive
power.
However, most of the
game takes place on foot.
"The Old Republic"
has players hoofing their way
through Sith
temples,
ing grounds, and mercenary
infested lairs. Currently,
players can explore
over 15 planets
each with several
hours of gameplay to complete.
With strong support from
its developer through weekly
patches and update content,
"Star Wars: The Old Republic" is keeping players
returning for more. The
added depth to the
Star
Wars
mythos is
quickly revitalizin g
interest
in
the galaxy far
far away.

dealing with this . The anxieties are still a reality though,
and it's important to remember that as a student, you are
not alone in this.
Going back to schoolmode was tough as a child,
though no one really told me
that it would get easier as I
got older. Soon, once all of
the initial pressure to get reorganized at university dies
down, the time will speed up
and we will wonder where it
went. All of this reminds me
of the quote that many believe Dr. Seuss said: "Don't

Part of the excitement in
starting a new year not only
consists of "beginning it
right" or keeping your new
year resolutions, but for artists of all traits in the music,
television and film industry
to be recognized with the
highest honors their industries could present to them.
Michelle Williams's role
in "My Week With Marilyn" (who has already won a
Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a
Motion Picture - Comedy Or
Musical) was one of many
performances nominated for
a Screen Actors Guild Award
as well as an Oscar for Actress in a Leading Role.
Popular television shows
like "Modern Family," "The
Office," "Glee" and new
shows like "American Horror Story" were also awarded
nominations for Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Musical artists like Mumford & Sons, Nicki Minaj
and Adele have made their
mark on the nominations for
The Grammy's list, one of
the most prestigious awards
in the music industry.
If you are curious whether
Kanye West will take home
the most Grammy's or if
Adele's power over love will
win her all of her six nominations, you can tune into
The 54th Grammy Awards
on Feb. 12,2012 at 8/7c only

For the film industry's most
exciting night, tune into The
