FEATURES After much anticipation from students and faculty in the California State University system, the CSU Board of Trustees (BOT) finally announced Timothy P. White as the seventh chancellor in the CSU system. Since Chancellor Charles Reed announced his retirement in May, Reed has continued with the responsibilities as Chancellor until the CSU BOT named a successor. White, who has served as University of California, Riverside's (UCR) chancellor for the past five years, will continue leading the nation's largest public university system of 23 campuses and manage the effects of recent budget cuts. White will also oversee the five percent tuition increase if Proposition 30 fails, an education incentive proposed by Governor Jerry Brown. If rejected, there would be a $250 million funding cut. Failure of prop 30 would also lead to a halt in enrollment of spring and fall of 2013 in most CSU campuses. White has stated, "We are going to be very focused in our efforts to talk about the consequences if that is unsuccessful but also the importance to California if it is successful.". White's leadership achievements include leading the growth of UC Riverside to a record-breaking 21,000 students while creating committees to develop plans in expending UCR's continuous development. He has led UCR to acclaimed ratings in the U.S. News and World Report's college rankings in academic quality and diversity. "I am humbled to have been chosen to lead the California State University system at such a transforma- tive time," White said in the CSU Office of Chancellor's press release. "As Chancellor, I look forward to engaging with faculty, students, staff, campus presidents and CSU trustees, along with the communities we serve, as we advance this vital system of higher education for California's future." 4 - CSUSM is on a roll w it h food Campus political clubs host f orum choices in the Big C a t Bistro.

The reason we wanted it at the UVA is to have fresh people to come in and to get people educated in their civil duty," said Brett Goudy, a residential advisor at UVA. Organizers say the forum will allow the clubs to present their perspectives on the candidates, as well as the propositions that will be on the ballot next month. If you would like to attend Casinos."

O U R N E X T ISSUE October 24 There is some confusion, especially among students, about the highly discussed Prop. 32, which will definitely affect teachers, unions and special interest groups, but is not to be confused with Prop. 30. Prop. 32, also known as the "Paycheck Protection" initiative, is a hot topic on the ballot this fall. The ballot measure proposes to limit the political influence of labor unions by banning them from making contributions to candidates' political campaigns. Contributions made by independent corporations and political action committees (also known as PACs) would be unaffected. If Prop. 32 passes, it is estimated that there will be increased costs to the government for implementation and enforcement of the new requirements and those costs could exceed $1 million annually, but could potentially be offset by fines. The "Yes on 32" campaign is running with the slogan "cuts the money tie between special interests and politicians." One argument is that the teacher unions focus more on teacher-benefits, seniority and tenure than on the education that students receive. Without political protection, it would be easier to layoff teachers who are no longer meeting standards and are just using their tenure as a shield. PROP CONTINUED ON % Brown signs AB-970 to make school fees transparent BY FREDRICK MISLEH SENIOR STAFF WRITER On Sept. 27, Governor Jerry Brown signed into legislation Assembly Bill 970, which looks to make school fees more transparent, as opposed to being behind closed doors to the public and to CSU/UC students. The bill also requires the Board of Trustees for the CSU system to consult with student associations six months prior to implementing future fee increases in hopes of avoiding mass protests, similar to those experienced at CSU Long Beach in Nov. 2011. While the CSU system supports the bill, the UC system has been more hesitant and remained neutral. CSU legislative advocate Andrew Martinez told the Daily Caiifornian on Sept. 3, "Any time you put restrictions on tuition, that's a concern f o r the university, since almost all funding comes from either the state or tuition." Two Assembly members, Paul Fong (D-Cupertino) and Marty Block (D-San Diego) who proposed the bill felt that the process by which tuition was increased needed student and parent feedback and transparency. Brown seems to agree with their opinions. AB 970, also known as the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act, would be an addition to the Donahoe Higher Education Act, an already existing law from 1960.

Uncharacteristically static and defensive, the president was trounced by an enthusiastic, passionate and confident Romney through sheer deliverance alone. Early analysis of the debate had Romney holding the upper-hand in the debate across the board, even if a majority of viewers felt that * specifics as to solving the na^ tion's problems were scarce between both candidates. Debates can be the key to presidential election. They allow for candidates to showcase their personalities to the populace at large, and if the president still has any fight in him, he'll study this "defeat" and hopefully bring along some of the fire he has wielded in the past to his next encounter with Romney on Tuesday Oct . 16 . PROP FROM I . The "No on 32'? website says to "stop the special exemptions act" and accuses supporters of the proposition with elaborating the proposition in such a way that they are not banned from supporting their political interests, only unions. The top contributor to the Prop 32 opposition is the California Teachers Association. Variousfirefighters,law enforcement and nurse associations are also included in the list of supporters for the opposition. Proposition 30 is directed towards tuition and looks to tax the rich in order to prevent tuition hikes. This proposition does not address unions and political contributions. Polling thus far has shown that votes for and against Prop 32 have been very close. With all of the huge contributions that have been made to both the "Yes" and "No" campàigns, the outcome of the election for Prop 32 is obviously highly anticipated. vorite part about playing socSTAFF WRITER cer for CSUSM is definitely the brotherhood that was creSophomore Landon Sher- ated.

The time lost waiting for the CHP to transfer a call from their dispatch to the UPD dispatch could be costly. The number to reach the UPD dispatch is (760) 750 - 4567. Students, faculty and staff are all encouraged to save the number in their phones in the event of an emergency. If someone is using a cell phone that has T-Mobile or Verizon, their mobile provider they will automatically be connected to the UPD. When dialing 911 from any campus phone, the call will directly go to the UPD. Also, there are 65 blue light emergency telephones conveniently located throughout campus that can be used to directly connect with the UPD. The number to reach the UPD for emergencies is also the same number to request a campus escort. This is a service that is provided between dusk and dawn by Community Service Officers [students] until 11 p.m. and UPD officers thereafter to ensure everyone feels safe on the CSÛSM campus.

Students who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and allies are encouraged to attend and participate. There, you can gain an understanding of the LGBTQA community and fend out ways to become an ally, who is a person of support to a this community. With attending and participating in the event, students are able to be educated in the different identities and diversity that exists on campus. In learning, students can be more aware of social justice awareness and have the opportunity to create an inclusive environment on campus. By implementing the importance for an inclusive campus, students will be able to feel safe and welcomed, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion. Students can find interesting information not only in the books at Kellogg Library, but in its décor as well. Since Sept. 25, the "More Than Casinos: California Indian Culture, Contributions and Communities" exhibit has been offereing visitors an inside look at the lives and culture of Native Americans. "The theme of the exhibit is to showcase a more holistic view of contemporary American Indian people," the Outreach Librarian and coordinator of the context, Melanie Chu said. It features items from local tribes, as well as the work of California Indian artists Gerald Clarke and Robert Freeman. Tribes that are represented in the exhibit include Pechanga, Luiseno, Pomo, Rincón, Karuk, Cahuilla, Kumeyaay, Acjachemen, Pauma, Chumash, and many others. Like the title suggests, the name "More Than Casinos" comes from the association of American Indians with casinos. The exhibit aims to show visitors that there is much more to the culture and the people. "It is important for many reasons," Chu said. "We have many tribal communities and reservations in San Diego County with a long culture, and local history to understand. We have a California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center on campus, and we have a small, growing number of American Indian students [at CSUSM]." This is the 18th Exhibit in the Context: Library Series on display in Kellogg Library. Each fall arid spring semester, classes and groups on campus incorporate what they have learned in the classroom when they visit the library to discuss the exhibits. "More Than Casinos" will be on display until Dec. 14. Photos by Katlin Sweeny AND 50% OFF ENROLLMENT!

B Y J ULIAN A S TUMP P C O - A & E EDITOR On Feb. 8, 2009, pop singer Rihanna was hospitalized after a heated argument with her boyfriend, R&B singer Chris Brown, left her with bruises and injuries to her face. Brown was later charged with felony assault and pleaded guilty in court. He was sentenced to five years of probation, domestic violence counseling and half a year of community service. Rihanna obtained a five-year restraining order prohibiting Brown from coming within 50 yards. Now, rumors have surfaced that they have been displaying PDA and going to concerts together. While celebrity love lives all just sound like a Taylor Swift song, the gossip about this onetime couple sends such a bad message to young couples and girls. Maybe she was into that and Brown was the inspiration for her song "S&M," and we'll never know and shouldn't really care. But feminism aside, really Rihanna? After your boyfriend beats you, you're still willing to give him another shot? There are so many things wrong with that. The only reason why I am Commuter-school prices taking a toll on students B Y J ESSI E G AMBREL L C O - A & E EDITOR With general semester parking permits at $338 and the "cheaper" X, Y, and Z parking at $254, everyone wonders why it must be so high? Other schools in the area including: SDSU - $135 per semester (day only), USD $140 per semester (full-time commuter), and Palomar *$40 (without a BOGW). Students disagree with how high the prices arerising,and think it is an unfair thing to do to already struggling college students. These days, with tuition prices creeping up as well as the student fees increasing every semester, it difficult enough for students to make ends meet.

I'm not implying it's their personalities that made them famous ... and a bunch of other people attempt to make them look good. They need to stop being selfish and think about the impact their actions have on their fans. I know how easy it is to be manipulated by what I see in magazines, particularly when we are young. Since then, I would say I have a good head on my shoulders and learned not to imitate celebrities. But what happens when young girls look at the magazines and think "Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together?" I guess its not such a bad thing if guys hit girls." And Rihanna's justification gives guys the message that girls like this. Where does it end? Society needs to stop blowing stories like this into our faces. What does it matter if they get back together in our daily lives? Society needs to stop obsessing over what these celebrities choose to do with their lives. If we don't, actions that Brown committed could possibly seem ethical. On Sept. 20, a ceremony was held at the McMahan House in honor of the inauguration of the CSU's Institute for Palliative Care at CSUSM. Among the speakers at the ceremony was jnone other than the outgoing CSU chancellor, Charles B. Reed. While not surprising that the CSU chancellor would attend such an event, what is surprising is that the two coeditors-in-chief of the Cougar Chronicle were the only two students who attended the event, and as press. No other student was aware of Reed's visit. No students from the nursing program attended, even though the Institute for Palliative Care falls under CSUSM's nursing program. While plenty of announcements regarding palliative care were made in the weekly Campus-wide Announcement emails sent out by the Office of Communications, none of them mentioned that Reed would be attending, let alone speaking, at the inauguration ceremony. Why all the secrecy? Granted, Reed is not the most popular figure within the CSU among students. After all, tuition and parking permit fees increased by 5 percent and faculty suffered a major pay cut under Reed's administration in November 2011 ; at the same time, presi- dents of the CSU schools, the Board of Trustees members, and Reed himself received raises to their overly bloated salaries. Perhaps Reed was concerned for [his] safety? That was the same reason he barred students from attending the November 2011 Board of Trustees meeting where the aforementioned tuition increases and pay raises occurred. After all, who could ignore the student protests that followed? Perhaps Reed feared he might have school supplies or, even more degrading, spare change thrown at him? Whatever the reason, it is an outrage. If we as students are asked to pay more into the system so that the CSU presidents, Trustees, and Chancellor can finally afford the latest model Lamborghini, we should be informed of when the Chancellor will be making a visit to our school (whether he's driving said Lamborghini or not). •Editor's Note: Chancellor Reed is publically noted as mainly utilizing chauffeur services. Campus interimPresidents are noted as having a $1,000 per month vehicle allowance, in lieu of a university-provided vehicle. Symbolic Motor Company of La Jolla estimates that the lease on a 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe would be about $3,500 per month.

So why are our parking prices so high? "The parking at CSUSM is 100% self-support, we have no funds from the CSU school system since they decentralized the parking funds just before we opened this school. I would love to see it go down, but it all depends on the payment we have to make. We really try to make sure that the students know where to park and how to put their permits in place so that they don't get a citation," Director of Parking and Commuter Services, Belinda Garcia said.

As well as playing on campus» he reguarly plays at many clubs and bars in the San Diego, area as well as at Comic-Con International. STAFF WRITE R Academy Award-winning director Martin McDonagh has stunned movie critics once again with his latest movie "7 Psychopaths," which premiered Sept. 29 at the San Diego Film festival and earned 4 Vi stars. The film opens in wide release Oct. 12 with an all-star cast that includes Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Tom Waits, Christopher Walken, Abbie Cornish and Olga Kurylenko. McDonagh wrote the script and directed the film. The film begins with Irishbred alcoholic screenwriter Marty Faranan (Farrell) who has a brilliant title for his next film, "7 Psychopaths," but no story. Marty keeps company with his girlfriend Kava (Cornish) and his best friend Billy (Rockwell). Billy makes his living by stealing dogs with his friend Hans (Walken) and returning them to their grateful owners for reward money. Billy's scheme goes terribly awry when he and Hans Writer and director Martin McDonagh being interviewed by a media representative at the 2012 San Diego Film Festival.

I had the opportunity to interview McDonagh at the film festival. Casually dressed in a button-up shirt and sleek blazer with jeans to finish off his stylish look, he spoke highly of the actors in his cast, many of whom he has worked with before. Farrell starred in McDonagh's Oscar-nominated film "In Bruges," and Walken and Rockwell starred in McDonagh's Broadway play "A Behanding in Spokane." "They're great, they're such great actors, fun guys to be around, so it's funny," McDonagh said. "I think most actors like good dialogue to play with. We had that, so yeah it was a joy. They're all kind of friends together as well, more like a family." His top 10 music hits are: I ."Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia 2.

Taylor Swift's love life is no different. However, not many young adults can say the ups and downs of love have won them six Grammy awards, 10 American Music Awards, seven Country Music Association Awards and six Academy of Country Music Awards, which is only the beginning of her sparkling career. Swift skyrocketed up country music charts in 2006 with her self-titled debut album and soon made her way over to the Top 40 pop charts. In her early songs, Swift wrote about her troubles in high school, such as trying to get the "jocks" to notice her and dealing with typical teenage dramas. She channeled her frustrations and heartbreak into an undeniable love for the people who identified with her happiness and/or hurt. On Oct. 22, Swift will release her fourth album, "Red." Now 22 years old, Swift could move forward in her songwriting to write about relationships from a more mature perspective. But the first single from the album, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," reminded me more of her high school breakup songs. As a "T-Swizzle" fan and a college student, I felt that "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was catchy, but something wasn't quite my taste. Maybe it was the unnecessary, excessive use of the word "like" or the overemphasizing of the word "ever," but it just seemed a bit childish to me. I was not impressed. Since I have been rooting for this album (and hopefully even a few singles) to win a Grammy or two, I was concerned. However, upon listening to her next single "Red," I felt much better. "Red" at first sounds like she has returned to her country roots, but then it transitions into a more modern musicality that fits with her more recent, critically acclaimed albums "Fearless" and "Speak Now." This song is about losing love and how "forgetting him is like trying to forget somebody you've never met." She presents a song that I believe many people can identify with, since both the intensity of pain and her music have matured. I mpro v spotlight: Fran k John Tabarez B Y M E L I S S A M ARTINE Z N EW S EDITOR Improvisational comedy is a good way to relax, let off steam and have fun. It's also a way to build confidence and self-esteem. For self-described "superduper senior" Frank John Tabarez, being a member of the CSUSM Improv Team has not only taught him valuable skills, it has also given him a family of friends on campus. The Cougar Chronicle sat down with Tabarez to talk about improv and what he has learned from it over the years. Question: What made you decide to join the improv team? Answer: Two years ago, my roommate Lance Rosenberger got me involved. After * a lot of persuading, he finally got me to go and I enjoyed it. Q: How would you describe improv? A: Improv is short for improvisation. We, as a team, get on the stage and literally improvise scenes f rom suggestions yelled out by the audience . Through their participation, we are able to make scenes and create characters in ridiculous scenarios. Q: Why is it important to have an improv team on campus? A: It is important because we, as a team, want to enter- . tain and make people laugh. It's also a way to come together. Regardless of your experience, we welcome all and give everyone the opportunity to learn. Q: How long have you been participating in improv? A: Technically, two years: I took half a semester o ff , but wanted to come back because I really missed performing. Q: How has perform-* ing on the improv team changed or impacted your life? A: Improv has really changed my life significantly. I am more outspoken and confident. There is something about being on a team and performing with your teammates that is so rewarding and satisfying.

Universal is America's oldest movie production studio, having been created by Carl Laemmle in 1912 who adopted an inter- est in Nickelodeon's movie theater which only charged a nickel for admission. Laemmle teamed up with other Nickelodeon moguls to form the Universal Film and Manufacturing Company. To commemorate their centennial accomplishment, Universal has released BluRay editions of their classics. First was "To Kill a Mockingbird" on Blu-Ray for the Academy Award winning film's special 50th Anniversary, followed by other popular movies, old and new, that have been on sale separately. These include "Jaws," "Brokeback f ountain, " "Jurassic Park" and "Sixteen Candles." For Halloween, a . limited edition box set called Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection has become avail- able to commemorate this milestone. The collection will include the celebrated original movie horrors like "Frankenstein," "Dracula" and the "Wolf Man" for their Blu-Ray premiere. On Nov. 6, a Universal 100th Anniversary Collection DVD set will be released. This would include 26 of the studio's old and new films from the dramatic "Schneider's List" to the family favorite "Despicable Me." The bundle features exclusive documentaries about Academy award winning films and legendary directors, with a CD of admired scores from the featured films to bring back the nostalgia of the 100 years past. Looking back on the studio's huge accomplishments, they didn't just leave a foot- print on the film industry. They left one in our households with innovative story lines that have been seen by our grandparents and parents, one that we may one day introduce to the next generation. Over the span of these 100 years, Universal has set the standard for movies improvement in the realm of technology and the digital aspects involved. OFF THE REEL Big name concerts already 'Argo' a Hollywood t hriller, t rue t o history on sale for 2013 B Y F REDRIC K M ISLE H SENIOR STAFF WRITER "Argo," a new film that opens in theaters Friday, is based on the true story of the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Iran in 1979 and the hostage crisis that followed. Six foreign service officers escaped the embassy out the back door. They sought refuge at the British, Australian and New Zealand embassies but were turned away. Eventually, the Canadian ambassador secretly took them into his home. While they waited for a way out, the U.S. State Department collaborated with the Central Intelligence Agency to get the six Americans out. The job fell to technical operations officer Tony Mendez (played by Ben Affleck, who also directs the film). He was a career CIA spook with an expertise in extracting people from hot zones. He turned to his contacts in Hollywood who helped him set up a fake movie studio and movie shoot in Iran that could be used as a cover during the operation. The script they stumbled upon was "Argo," a sci-fi thriller set in an exotic Middle Eastern landscape. To legitimize the film, Mendez hired actors to dress up in costume and read the script in front of others. The six Americans were given Canadian identities and they served on the shoot as screenwriters, assistant producers and casting directors. When the movie wrapped, the six Americans left Iran with the rest of the film crew. If you want more details, you have to see the movie. Though the secret operation took place in 1979, it wasn't public knowledge until President Bill Clinton declassified it in 1997.
