The sight of students attending classes
accompanied by their children is not that
uncommon at CSUSM. Bringing a child to
school may be the only alternative when
daycare arrangements fall through or do
not coordinate with class schedules. Since
the average age of students at this university is 29, many students have preschool <
children that require daycare supervision.
Along with the challenge of attending
school, these students also face the difficult
task of finding affordable, convenient, and
safe childcare. Unfortunately, CSUSM is
the only university in the state system that
offers no childcare facilities for its students.
For the past two years, CSUSM student, Angela Lowder, has worked with the
Associated Students, to provide a solution
to the childcare problem. Since new laws
restrict the State of California from funding the construction of any future childcare
facilities, this burden has fallen on the
students. Lowder has taken up this chalnumagentftt^
lenge and succeeded in establishing a fund

which has raised $25,000 towards the development of a daycare facility. However,
Lowder explained that finding a suitable
location to establish a center has proved to

be the greatest problem. A location on

campus has proved to be too costly. EstiM mi^;.;-'
mates could range as high as a million
dollars to construct a building and provide

Sandra Kuchler, Associate Dean of
Students, noted that the administration is
aware and very sensitive to the need for
childcare at the University. University

Youth Service
Awards to
Honor North
County Youth
Brittany Crist
Contributing Writer
Did you know that CSUSM is participating in the President's Youth Service
Awards (PYSA)? Do you know what they
are? PYSA is an award ceremony that recognizes volunteerism and community service in
the young people of North San Diego County.
These awards come from President Clinton
and are administered by the White House's
Office of National Service and the Corporation on National and Community Service.
CSUSM students are recognized during the
ceremony as well as young people in the
community who have been nominated.
This is our second year of participation
and we are pleased with the community response. To date, over fifty nominations have
been received! We encourage you to attend
the ceremony.
The President's Youth Service Award
ceremony will be held on Tuesday, April
19th at 6:30pm on the stairs next to Craven
Hall. If you have any questions or would like
to assist us during the ceremony, please call
Gabriela Sonntag (752-4356) in the library.
Speaker to Talk
on Alcohol Use
Without Abuse
Every year, millions of Americans and
their families are adversely affected in some
way by alcohol abuse. Yet, many people
would find it difficult or impossible to define
alcohol abuse. Chances are your answer
would differ from that of the person sitting
next to you. So what is a "safe" level of
alcohol use? What happens when you get a
DUI? Can you be arrested for driving after
having one drink? And what about the new
DUI law that passed in January? Soon you
will have a chance to have these and other
questions answered by an expert.
On Tuesday, April 12, Student Health
Services is sponsoring a presentation entitled
"Alcohol Use Without Abuse" featuring guest
speaker Rafael Thomson. Mr. Thomson

Recycling Needs
Some Work
PLEASE separate recyclables
from trash in the classroom. Both trash
and mixed paper containers are located
in each classroom. Since food and beverages are not permitted in the classroom, appropriate beverage recycling
bins are located in the hallways of the
academic buildings for disposal of beverage cans and bottles. Participation is
very important in this worthwhile
project. Working together will save
natural resources and reduce the amount
of material going into landfills.
Student Health Services is now accepting those adorable
photos for the Pet Picture Contest. The photos will be

intercampus mail. For information, call Susan a t Ext. 4915.
�Yes, There is an Alumni
Association
The typical response when asked to join
an Alumni Association goes something like
this, "All they want is my money," or "Those
organizations don't have anything for me!"
Well, it is true that the CSUSM Alumni
Association does need your money in order
to operate, but it is the Association's goal to
provide some real benefits for all its members, especially those of you who are newly
graduated. During the next year, you may be
surprised how often you feel the need to
utilize the resources of the campus. Perhaps
you will need to use the computer lab or the
library or want to attend one of the Arts and
Lectures events on campus. Maybe you want
to find out what someone in your Psychology class is doing these days, but you don't
know how to reach her. Members of the
Alumni Association will have access to these
things and much, much more!
The Alumni Association of CSUSM
was formed to provide a continued link
between the university and its alumni, and to
"enhance the continued cultural, educational,
personal and professional development of
its members." It has taken the greater part
of the last two years for the Alumni Board to
get organized, prepare a data base and to put
together a nice package of benefits for its
members. Between April 15 and May 31,
graduating seniors can join the Alumni Association for $15. This is a $10 discount off
the normal price.
Members of the Alumni Association receive a quarterly newsletter, CSU Library
privileges, access to the campus computer s
labs and extended use of the Career Center
and discounts at the bookstore, Arts and Lectures events, and several local restaurants,
businesses and attractions. Besides all these
benefits, the Alumni Association sponsors
two social events including the annual Alumni
Picnic, held in late August, assists at the
commencement ceremony each year and provides representation on several campus committees. Within the next year, the association
plans to create a directory, set up a scholarship fund and plan additional social events.
Memberships can be purchased through
the Alumni Office in Commons 201, or watch
for a table on the Plaza. For further information on the Alumni Association, please call
Alumni Affairs 752-4970, or Tanis Brown
752-4952.

�Japanese Students find a home at CSUSM
Eamonn Keogh
Contributing Writer
If, like me, your knowledge of Japanese culture is limited to occasionally catching sumo wrestling on channel 18 and the
infrequent consumption of "chicken teriyaki
bowls" at Jack in the Box, you might be
interested to learn that CSUSM now boasts a
Japanese Cultural Exchange Club.
The club is the brainchild of Rika
Yoshii, faculty member of the College of
Arts and Sciences. It boasts 15 Japanese
students but only a few tentative Americans,
although Rika is anxious to recruit more.
Most of the students are business majors who
have come to California to improve their
English and experience what passes for
American culture. If you have been wondering why you see so many Japanese students in
the Dome but never seem to take a class with
one, it is because most of the foreign exchange students spend their first year in intensive English as a Second Language (ESL)
classes. Some of the Japanese students are
mildly critical of this arrangement. Akari
Sagane, for example, wishes she could take
classes with local students.
After learning a little about the Japanese educational system, you begin to appreciate just how determined CSUSM* s Japanese students must be. After 12 years in a
school system which still allows corporal
punishment, and is widely regarded as the
most competitive in the world, most students
look forward to an easy four years of college,
a "four-year party" is how Akari describes it.
For a student to relinquish this "rest" and go
to a foreign country, with a different language and competitive universities, demonstrates their tenacity.
One of the more interesting activities
planned by the club is the formation of an
international music band which will blend
elements of Japanese music with American
rock and roll. Rika hopes to send the band to
Japan to see how they will be received. They
are still in need of a male vocalist. Interested
parties should contact Yoshii directly.
An American student might wonder
why he or she should join the club. Well, for
a business student, there is an obvious advantage, and many liberal studies majors might
benefit from some hands-on experience with
another culture. For the rest of us, I can say
that I found the Japanese students to be intelligent and interesting people and I look forward to the next club meeting.
For more information about the Japa- Japanese Students get together to share their experiences of life at an American university
nese Cultural Exchange Club contact Rika
Yoshii at 752-4121 or 6231 Craven Hall.

�Project Wildlife looks for
volunteers to care for
animals, birds
• p r o j e c t Wildlife is gearing up for
1 - ^ S a n Diego County's annual baby
A
season. Over the next five months,
Project Wildlife will receive between 7-8,000
baby birds and mammals. Volunteers are
needed to care for injured and orphaned wildlife four hours per week .at the Project Wildlife Care Facility in San Diego. Volunteers
are also needed to care for baby birds and
mammals in their own homes. Rescue/transport volunteers and telephone volunteers are
in demand too.
"The wildlife baby season is almost upon
us," said Ly n Lacy e, spokesperson for Project
Wildlife. "We desperately need caring volunteers to help with the thousands of injured,
orphaned or displaced animals and birds in
San Diego County."
There are a number of ways to help in this
massive effort to save San Diego's native
wildlife. Individuals who are home during
the day will be trained in the care and feeding
of baby songbirds. Dependable people are
needed to volunteer four hours a week at the
Project Wildlife Care Facility, which is open
seven days a week, 12 hours a day.
"If you do find a baby bird or mammal, be
sure it really is orphaned before you rescue
•it," cautioned Lacye. "Many species leave
their young while out searching for food. Be
sure the parents are not returning to feed.
Project Wildlife can rescue, rehabilitate and
release these wild babies, but there is no
substitute for the real parent."
A baby bird that has fallen from the nest
¥
PROJECT WILDLIFE
A SECONd chAINCE
can be put back and the parent will continue to feed it. If you cannot reach the
nest, put the bird in a plastic bowl lined
with tissue or paper towels as close as
possible to the original site. The parents
will usually find it.
When rescue becomes necessary, the
bird or animal should be handled as little
as possible. Often these otherwise healthy
creatures die of stress. Keep the animal or
bird warm, dark and quiet, and call Project
Wildlife. Until you reach a volunteer, do
not feed the wildlife. Baby birds and
mammals can easily inhale food into their
lungs and die, and incorrect diet can cause
irreparable damage.
Project Wildlife, a non-profit volunteer organization, has been in existence
since 1975. Over7,000 animals and birds
are brought to Project Wildlife each year.
The organization receives no government
funding and exists entirely on membership donations and charitable contributions.
For more volunteer information, call
225 WILD or 588-4289. Help give wild-'
life a second chance.

�Allergy Season is upon us
What products should you use?
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
The good news is that the March rains
have helped our drought condition; however,
the bad news is that this may be a sinister
allergy season because of the rain. Spring
and early summer in Southern California
make one out of six people fairly miserable
with allergy symptoms. The recent rains
have spurred the growth of indoor and outdoor molds, tree pollen counts, and soon
grass pollen counts will be on the rise. Pollen
can travel up to 100 miles so that it is not just
local vegetation that can be a factor.
The symptoms of allergic rhinitis (commonly called hay fever) may include itching
and swelling of the mucous membranes of the
nose, mouth, eyes, and lungs. It can cause
sneezing, tearing, a clear discharge from the
nose, post nasal drip, as well as a dry cough
and wheezing. Approximately a third of the
people with allergic rhinitis will also have
wheezing with exercise called exercise-induced asthma.
The average allergic rhinitis patient is
symptomatic for 5 months a year and 62
percent of patients report they are bothered a
"great deal" by their symptoms. This obviously restricts people from everyday activities and results in many work and school days
lost. Total sales for medications, both over
the counter and prescription, is^asily over 2
billion a year.
There is no magic allergy antidote but an
allergic patient has basically three choices for
gaining some relief. The first is to avoid the
Tai Chi Glasses
to begin
April 12
On Tuesday, April 12, a new beginning
level Tai Chi Chuan class will be starting at
CSUSM. The class will be held in ACD 104
from 12 Noon to 1 PM, and will run for six
weeks, from April 12 to May 17. The class is
open to everyone, and the cost is $30 for the
six-week session. Regina Gill, shown at the
right, a very experienced instructor, has o ffered this class at this exceptionally low price.
Tai Chi Chuan is both exercise and meditation/relaxation. It is one of the best methods
available for stress reduction, and requires no
special clothing, only comfortable shoes.
To register for the class, sign up at Student Health Services, respond to me personally by E-mail, or enroll at the door on
Tuesday April 12. See you there.
offending allergen. This is usually fairly
difficult but there are steps one can take to
reduce allergens especially in your home.
For specifics see your health care provider f or
counseling and literature. The second choice
is to use medication to relieve your symptoms. If you self-treat allergy symptoms with
over the counter medications, ask a pharmacist for advice. Don't abuse the nasal decongestant sprays, especially since they have
adverse long-term effects. Be careful even of
over-the-counter antihistamines because most
of these will have some sedating effect. Studies have demonstrated that they have similar
effects to alcohol in impairing ones ability to
drive. Know when to give up on self-treatment. When allergies continue to interfere
with your life, sleep, and work or you develop
secondary infectious complications see your
health care provider. A number of new, albeit
fairly expensive, medications which relieve
symptoms without causing sedation are now
available by prescription after an evaluation
by your health care provider.
Lastly, immunotherapy, commonly referred to as allergy shots, based on specific
allergy testing, can provide relief. This is
appropriately the last resort if symptoms can
not be adequately controlled by environmental avoidance and tolerated medications.
If you have any questions or concerns
contact your health care provider or call Student Health Services at 752-4915.

�Conduct Unbecoming a Faculty
M ember... or anyone else
Is Lexis/Nexis to blame?
Mary Szterpakiewicz
Editor-in-Chief
Lexis/Nexis once again has become the
subject of recent controversy. According to
Gabriela Sonntag, Reference/Instruction
Librarian, Lexis/Nexis is unavailable at the
CSUSM library between the hours of 11 AM
and 2 PM. Such was the case on the afternoon of March 8.
On that Friday afternoon, several students were witness to an incident at a Lexis/
Nexis terminal in the CSUSM library. Library Information Assistants routinely walk
around the computer islands offering assistance and answering questions. When history faculty member Patty Seleski sat down
at a Lexis terminal, several individuals observed her frustration when the Lexis/Nexis
terminal would not connect with the service.
Seleski proceeded to hit the keyboard and
expressed herself in a loud manner. Renee,
one of the Information Assistants rushed to
o ffer assistance and was met with " I'm not a
student here, I 'm a faculty m ember... this
is no way to run a library . . . this is no way
to treat faculty." Seleski turned around,
paused and added "and students."
The Information Assistant attempted to
explain to Seleski that CSUSM library access to the Lexis/Nexis system is routinely
denied from 11 AM to 2 PM. According to
Sonntag, Mead Data provides Lexis/Nexis
service to educational institutions at a discounted rate. For this reason, on-line priority is given to businesses who pay the full
rate to use the service, particularly during
peak hours. Thus, Lexis/Nexis is not available to the CSUSM library terminals during
those times. An exception may occur if you
sign on to Lexis/Nexis before 11 AM—
some have experienced no interruption of
on-line service. Signs are visibly posted
above each terminal stating these downtime
periods.
Seleski said she knew why it was down,
but continued to complain. The Information
Assistant suggested that Seleski speak with
a librarian. Seleski replied "I know where to
find the librarian" and continued to disrupt
others in the library. "This is supposed to be
a research institution," Seleski said, adding,
"You should have a back-up." The Information Assistant then left to help a student at
another computer terminal but later returned
with librarian Stephanie Weiner. Weiner
attempted to explain why Lexis/Nexis was
down, but Seleski loudly and repeatedly
said, "Get away from me!"
One onlooker noted, "When the terminal
d idn't work, she [Seleski] threw a temper
tantrum, like a little kid. You would think
that a faculty member would know how to
channel their frustration in more construc-
tive ways. If she wants priority access, she
can pay for it."
According to Sonntag, Lexis/Nexis service is available to faculty and staff through
their personal computer terminals upon request.
CSUSM's First
Cougar Fun Run
Amy Cubbison
Contributing Writer
In place of a much-dreaded final paper
Dr. Betsy R eed's exercise physiology class is
planning and promoting a 5K fun run at
CSUSM. The professor suggested it and the
students were quick to respond, as you might
imagine.
The Fun Run is not only a run, entrants
can also walk. The distance is a 5K which is
3.1 miles. There is no time constraint and
there will be three hours to complete the race.
The reason for the Fun Run is jto promote
physical activity while raising money for
future exercise facilities such as a volleyball
court.
If you are interested in entering the 5K,
registration forms will be available on campus shortly. Along with the form there will be
a helpful guide on how to train for non athletes . The entry fee is only $3 for students
and $5 for other interested individuals. The
race will take place on May 6, 1994 in the
CSUSM parking lot. Late registration will
begin at 8 AM and the actual race at 9 AM.
The race will go on until 12 Noon. Following
the race there will be refreshments and a
r affle with some terrific prices. There will
also be complimentary body fat analysis and
blood pressure screening. Results of the tests
are private and for the persons own benefit.
All of the students in exercise physiology are extremely enthusiastic about being
part of CSUSM's first annual 5K Cougar Fun
Run, so please exhibit some school spirit and
join in on the fun. It will be history in the
making! Not only will entering the race be a
great incentive to get in shape for summer,
but it will help CSUSM get established and
respected in the San Marcos area.

P OLICE B IKES
This summer you will see CSUSM
Police Officers riding bicycles on patrol.
We just finished an excellent three day
class at UCSD. The class covered patrol
procedures, bike safety, the advantage
of officers on bikes, and many more
subjects. I didn't know there was so
much to know about riding a bicycle.
The bike program will give the officers
more opportunity to get much closer to
the students and staff. The bikes will
also allow us to better monitor the parking lots and campus area, creating a safer
environment for everyone.
B UCKLE U P
As I drive around town and the campus I see many people not wearing their
safety belts, when they drive or are passengers. Did you know that in 1992
safety belts saved 5,226 lives and prevented about 136,000 moderate-to-critical injuries. From 1983 to 1992, it is
estimated that safety belts saved 34,794
lives. Be smart, take the time to buckle
up.

�Computer-Generated Art
makes history bigger
than life
"Turning History to Art" is both the title and the subject of an exhibit by
ten CSUSM students. In conjunction with National Women's History Month,
Deborah Small's advanced computer art class first researched eight women who
played an important role in San Diego's history. Then they created large-scale,
computer-generated art based on the accomplishments of these notable women.
The works will be on exhibit at various locations on the campus till May 21.
The eight women whose lives are featured in the exhibit are: Kate Sessions,
botanist; Ellen Browning Scripps, publisher and philanthropist; Delfina Cuero,
herbalist; Katherine Tingley, theosophist; Mary Chase Walker, San Diego's first
school teacher; Belle Benchley, wildlife advocate and zoo director; Dona Juana
Machado, early resident born at the Presidio in 1814 and oral historian; and
Califia, legendary black Amazon queen who inspired the naming of California.
The CSUSM students who created the artwork are: Katherine Johnson, Jeri
Kalvin, Linda Kallas, Erika Kent, Kelly Mundell, Diana Mcintosh, Yvonne
Ramsey, Genevieve Venegas, Norman Manes, and Jenny Jackson.
So take some time to see and admire these interesting exhibits around
campus.

�Governments c reate nothing

— Winston Churchill
Conroy Misses the Boat on Illegals in CSU System
Claudia M. Vazquez
Guest Editorial
There has been a great deal of discussion regarding the actual cost illegals represent to the State of California. Many politicians, such as Mickey Conroy in an editorial
published March 11 mThe Pride, suggest that
the reason for our current increase in tuition
fees has been directly related to the enrollment of illegal immigrants in our universities. He blames the illegals for the continuous
rise in tuition fees and the decline of available
classes in the CSU system.
According to Conroy, there are at least
700 undocumented students attending in four
of the 21 universities in the CSU system. But,
let's presume for a moment that he is correct.
700 Students is insignificant compared to
some 400,000 students in the CSU system. It
represents. 17 percent, less than two-tenths of
a percent.
One can only wonder where he got this
information? What kind of study was done?
Which universities is Conroy referring to?
What determines illegal status and so on?
Last week, I telephoned Conroy's office to
check on this information. After being transferred three times, I was told someone would
get back to me. To this day, I am still waiting.
Conroy gives no proof and therefore, has n a
basis for arguing that illegals are depleting
resources from our schools.
When I spoke with Kathleen Fannella,
Assistant Director of Admissions and Records
on campus, she replied, "We have no way of
knowing who is undocumented."
The statements made by Conroy are
misleading. They imply that illegals are
exhausting and abusing our educational resources. These students are paying; therefore, they are supporting rather than exhausting the educational system. They do not
cause a burden to anyone, nor to the state.
Since they reside in the state, they become
taxpayers by being consumers, employees,
and students. It is precisely because of this
reason that the CSU system's current policy
abides by the Leticia A court order, which
classifies eligible undocumented students as
state residents for tuition purposes. As members of working and tax-paying families, they
can enroll and pay state tuition fees rather
than out-of-state tuition. Assemblyman
Conroy's bill, AB 1801, would deny students
access to higher education based on legal
status. It would create obstacles to an education by charging out-of-state tuition fees to
undocumented residents. Denying education
to immigrants would not benefit anyone;
rather, it would hurt society. Colleen BentlyAdler from the office of the chancellor for
CSU stated that "these students should be
treated fairly," adding "our office and the
Board of Trustees support the fact that these
students should be eligible for higher education, and they should pay in-state tuition
fees." Bentley-Adler noted, "we certainly do
not look at these students as criminals."
What Assemblyman Conroy is doing is
diverting the issue of California's economic
crisis by attacking and accusing the undocumented; he is using them as scapegoats. Because they have no voice or vote in this issue,
they have no way to defend themselves. Insinuations against illegal immigrants contribute to perpetuate the already worsened
image of immigrants in the state. Conroy also
perpetuates institutionalized racism by denying education to immigrants.
Conroy creates bad sentiments in general by referring to the undocumented immigrants as "illegal aliens" and as "criminals."
These remarks are offensive, derogatory and
completely irresponsible, especially coming
from a public official. Conroy's allegations
are simplistic and undermine our intelligence.
He is giving us a fourth grade interpretation
of a complex issue. Does he really think
students are going to accept his racist views
without question? How can he expect to gain
student support by treating us as elementary
school students?

Health Services offers more
than just medicine
Dear Editor:
This letter is a very belated thank you
to everyone in Health Services. Last semester I was victim of the flu, pneumonia and a
few other invading microbes. As a result 1
had to visit Health Services several times and
needed lots of TLC, which was freely given
by the entire staff. Both Dr. Grinolds and
Nurse Practitioner Judith Weiss-Zinger took
their time to examine thoroughly my physical condition and listen to my physical complaints. I appreciate the careful attention I
received and wish that all my experiences
with medical staff had been as positive as
mine have been here at CSUSM. Thank you
again.

In Defense of the Lounge
Dear Editor:
The recent addition of a pool table and
a few video games to the student lounge has
caused quite an uproar—two letters to the
editor in the last issue of The Pride were
dedicated to bashing this unthinkable invasion of academic integrity. With such limited
space and a limited budget, the argument
goes, why are we wasting valuable resources
on mind-numbing entertainment? This is an
understandable position, one that deserves a
well thought-out, keenly-argued empirical
retort—LOOSEN UP!!
I like to play pool. Obviously, I also
like to acquire knowledge and engage in
intellectual discovery. That is the primary
preoccupation of all college students and the
sole purpose for the existence of our fine
university. But I honestly do not believe that

administrators continue to alert the community about the need f or funding of this project.
President Stacy met with the Associated
Students at their retreat and told them that
the development of this facility continues to
be a priority at the university.
While a daycare center at C SUSM would
be convenient f or students, it would also
provide affordable childcare. A sliding scale
could help lower-income students manage
the cost associated with childcare. Kuchler
also noted that perhaps the university f aculty and staff could use the facility at a
slightly higher rate, which would help the
center offset costs.
Kuchler also noted that with the permission of the Associated Students, the center
could serve an academic purpose. CSUSM's
psychology department has indicated an interest in creating a program that would allow
students to observe the children and incorporate the center into an internship program.
The facility could then serve both as a valuable service f or parents, and as a hands-on
learning experience for students.
However, the progress made by Lowder
could be slowed when she leaves CSUSM
this semester. As much as this facility is
needed at the campus, Kuchler noted that
another student or students will need to come
forward tocontinueLowder'sefforts. Lowder
said, " I have stirred up the embers. Now, I
hope someone will come along to keep them
going."

SAN MARCOS
PRESENTS
On April 20, 1994, Dr. Nadinne Cruz, a
leader in multiculturalism and service-learning will speak at CSUSM.
The Service-Learning Initiative will host
the following events:
10-11 AM
Open Session
CRA 6201
12-1:30 PM Community Service
ACD 315, Diversity
& Social Change
2:30-4 PM
Open session
CRA 1201
The open sessions are for administrators,
faculty, staff, and students wishing to join in
topical discussions involving how service
relates to issues of diversity (topics to be
announced). Dr. Nadinne Cruz will also
speak to the diversity of the CSUSM servicelearning goals. The following information is
an introduction to the topics and areas where
she has highly influenced the field of experiential education and service-learning by her
innovative ideas.
A Filipina-American educator, Dr. Cruz
was 1992-1993 Lang Visiting Professor of
Social Change at S warthmore College where
she piloted a Democratic Practice Project
course in the political science department.
The course emphasizes multicultural and
community-based perspectives on "The Politics of Social Responsibility and Public Service." In this course, "community involvement" cuts both ways: students are involved
in community service; community people are
involved with teaching by modeling options
for exercising social responsibility and contributing to the public good.
As Executive Director of HECUA (Higher
Education Consortium for Urban Affairs, St.
Paul), Dr. Cruz developed for the 18 member
colleges several community-based programs
located in Latin America, Scandinavia, San
Francisco, and Minneapolis-St. Paul. The
programs model ways in which faculty and
student relationships with and in various communities form the critical core of teaching
"materials." The 22-year old consortium has
demonstrated a cost-effective option for supporting faculty in sustained innovations and
cutting-edge practice in community-based
teaching.
Nadinne Cruz also provides workshops
on multiculturalism and community-based
teaching for college faculty, students and
community groups. In the l ast two years,
these have involved, among others: Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and
Universities Faculty Development Network;
St. Olaf College faculty; board and staff
members of the foundation, Headwaters Fund
and of Fresh Air Public Radio; students at
S warthmore College; faculty and administrators from fifteen different institutions of higher
education who participated in the 1993 Campus Compact Institute; and 1993-1994 grantees of the Corporation of National and Community Service. She will also be a keynote
speaker at a Western Regional Campus Compact Institute to be held at the University of
San Diego on July 7-9, 1994.
In addition, Dr. Cruz is cofounder of the
Philippine Study Group of Minnesota Foundation and t he P hilippines-Minnesota
Grassroots Linkages Project. She is on the
Board of Colors, a Minnesota journal of opinion by writers of color.
The lecture and visit to CSUSM by Dr.
Cruz is funded through the CSUSM ServiceLearning grant from the Corporation on National and Community Service. Students,
faculty, staff, administrators, and community
leaders are invited to attend.

Beginning with the breezy comedy Night Shift in the
early 80's and continuing with such lightweight cinematic
fare as Willow and Far and Away, Ron Howard cemented his
post-Richie Cunningham directorial reputation as a kind of
poor man's Steven Spielberg. A Howard film could always
be counted upon to provide relatively guiltless, feel-good,
populist entertainment that left your head the minute you left
the theatre. There is nothing wrong with that, of course; welldone schtick can be just as valuable and timeless as high film
art (see Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, The Maltese
Falcon, When Harry Met Sally, Star Wars or any Frank Capra
movie). Recent Howard films, though (specifically Backdraft
and Far and Away) seemed soulless, all special effects,
emotional scores and big movie star smiles—two hour music
videos advertising the glamour of Hollywood.
The Paper, Howard's new behind the scenes look at a
New York tabloid, cleanly breaks that little losing streak.
Certainly, it is a fast-paced, well-produced commercial crowdpleaser and it claims to be nothing more. But it also has grit
— sloppy edges and ambiguity and antiheroes and moral
dilemmas. But not moral dilemmas that stand in the way of
expediency or plot development—this is no Schindler's List.
Rather it is an unusually well-written, well-acted, hugely
entertaining dramatic comedy. And there's nothing wrong
with that.
Indeed, one could argue that a film like The Paper is
harder to make than some high-minded, three-hour historical
epic. But that is a fruitless argument, and there's no need to
compare artistic apples and oranges here. Suffice to say that
Howard in The Paper, despite severaldangerous moments of
near-cliche, pulls off a rare achievement: tightly paced,
quick-witted controlled chaos.
He is helped immeasurably towards that end by a fine
ensemble cast including Michael Keaton, Robert Duvall,
Marisa Tomei, Randy Quaid and Glenn Close. Duvall is
especially (and characteristically) fine as the hard-edged
editor-in-chief with "a prostate the size of a bagel." Keaton
delivers the finest performance of his previously undistinguished acting career and Tomei proves herself worthy of the
sudden fame that has followed here since her Academy
Award for My Cousin Vinnie. Close and Quaid tend to ham
it up a bit but usually provide the appropriate level of comic
relief.
The Paper is at its best when it stays in the chaotic,
insane newsroom; the pace slackens a bit during the obligatory family trouble subplots. Fortunately, though, Howard
always brings it back to the frantic search for the story. The
glee in Keaton's voice as he tells off the editor of an uptown,
New York Times—like newspaper is the best advertisement
for adrenaline pumping, down and dirty journalism since All
the President's Men. Keaton rushes home to his pregnant
wife at the end of the movie and curses his journalistic
obsession. But this is just conventional audience b aitingit's obvious that the film's heart is buried deep inside,the
Metro section, and that's why it all succeeds so well.

An Independent
Female OR a Man
Has His Pride *'
Yareli Arizmendi
Faculty, Visual and Performing Arts
As its Spring 1994 theater production, The San Marcos
Players (CSU San Marcos) is currently producing An Independent Female or a Man Has His Pride. In the old tradition
of traveling troupes and the revived 60's tradition of "street"
and "agit-prop" theater, An Independent Female.. . takes a
closer look at the relationship between love, power and
economic dependence. Written by The San Francisco Mime
Troupe, biting satire and intelligent humor combine with a
highly melodramatic acting style—in the "who will save me
now" tradition—to deliver an entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical event.
As a prelude to An Independent Female. . . ,The San
Marcos Players present "The Difference Between Men and
Women," a piece written by Michelle Lewellen (CSUSM
student). This scene offers the insightful discussion of two
eight-year old girls on the subject of men and women.
The group will be performing on April 18 at the
CSUSM Dome at 12 Noon; April 23 at the Oceanside Day of
Art Festival; April 29 at CSUSM in conjunction with "Bring
Our Daughters to Work"; May 3 at Palomar College (Music
Court, 2 PM); and May 12 at CSUSM as part of teh Annual
Arts Festival. For more information, contact Yareli Arizmendi

Dryve, a new musical group, comes to
CSUSM Wednesday, April 20. They
will be performing in front of The Dome
at 12 Noon. The group had a humble
beginning, knowing only one song and
playing it at any coffee shop that would
have them. Cory Verner and Paul
Donovan, who started Dryve, are the
band's primary songwriters. Within the
last year, they were joined by Steve
Pratchner and Kieth Sansone. Recently,
they added accordian, violin, and tin
whistle to their musical ensemble. Their
set is diverse, pulling from American
roots—country, bluegrass, and rockabilly
with a common thread running throughout that is distinctly Dryve.

Northern Indian Classical
Music Comes to CSUSM
As part of its Arts & Lectures Series,
CSUSM is sponsoring a concert of Northern
Indian classical music on April 17 at 3 PM in
Academic Hall, Room 102. The concert
features Kartik Seshadri on the sitar and
Abhiman Kaushal on the tabla (a pair of
small, different-sized hand-drums used in
Indian music).
Kartik Seshadri's first musical inspiration was listening to Pandit Ravi Shankar.
Kartik made his concert debut as a sitarist at
the age of six and was nationally recognized
as a prodigy. Kartik first met and received
Panditji's blessings in 1965 and formally
became his disciple in 1975. In the past year,
Kartik accompanied Pandit Ravi Shankar in
major concert halls and festivals in India,
Israel, Europe, Mexico, Middle East, and the
United States, including Carnegie Hall.
Kartik will be accompanied on tabla by
Abhiman Kaushal. Abhiman comes from a
musical family. His father is a tabla artist,
and his mother is a dancer and teacher of
Bharat Natyam, Kachupudi and Odissi style.
He is currently studying under Pandit Ravi
Shankar and frequently accompanies professional vocalists and instrumentalists all over
India.
Admission is $3 for CSUSM students and
$5 for general admission. Tickets may be
purchased at the University's bookstore during normal business hours or by calling 7524730. Tickets may be purchased at the door
one-half hour before the performance, unless
it is sold out. For further information, call the
Arts and Lectures Office at 752-4945.

�Sigma Phi Delta Program to Help Troubled Youth
Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
Sigma Phi Delta is looking for a few "bad" teenagers for
their "Brothers for Life Program." Richard Harvey, fraternity
member and head of this big-brother-type program, says
eligible teens "don't have to be gang bangers from San
Marcos or Vista. They can be a surfer from Del Mar with poor
study habits."
Once a week, Sigma Phi Delta members will take troubled
boys to the movies, teach them computer skills, and help them
with their homework. The goal of the program is to provide
positive role models for teens who need special guidance.
Harvey says he can relate to misguided teenagers. Although he says he has never been in trouble with the law, he
has "done dumb things like drop out of high school."
Sigma Phi Delta wants to show young boys that anyone
can succeed. Not all troubled boys are eligible for the
"Brothers For Life " program. The fraternity will not accept
any apathetic teens. Harvey said ' They must, be motivated.
They will be screened and evaluated for their potential and
desire to succeed."
For more information about this program call Richard
Harvey at 259-1533.

4. "Students.. .seek to understand human

The University bears the responsibility of
living up to its own standards. Perhaps an
examination is in order. How well does the
University meet the challenge of survival in
today's social crisis? Here are 10 social
issues to consider:
(1) Measure performance in light of a
new book, The Fall of the Ivory Tower:
Government Funding, Corruption, and the
Bankrupting ofAmerican Higher Education,
by Hillsdale College president George Roche.
(2) Crime statistics show violent felonies
peak at 15 to 19, ages when students are
considering college. Even with education, a
violent person becomes only an educated
vilent person, unless that person changes.
(3) Our country has the highest violent
crime rate in the world. Is training available
to deter the conscience at the university
level?
(4) Judeo-Christian ethics were the basis
upon which our country was built. Students
of morality are essential to social survival;
fundamental changes leading to high moral
character, a goal of the Mission Statement.
(5) Courses contributing to the solution
and not the problem. Stemming the drift
toward immorality and moral relativism.
(6) Learning responsibility, facing consequences. Warnings against substance
abuse.
(7) Back to basics—objective truth for
social reform to replace opinion, perception, credibility and contemporary culture.
(8) Emphasis on public standards of
virtue, objective morality, moral judgment.
The loss of moral truth leads to tyranny.
(9) Civil rights and the free exercise of
what people believe should not prevent
religious civil liberties.
(10) A critical review of secular humanism, suspect as a "religion" with overtones of immediate gratification leading to
neo-paganism.
A final word of caution in observing
and considering our impending headlong
social collapse. History is known to repeat
itself. Remember Rome, a onertime dominating power of the world. What happened
to it? The Roman Empire declined and fell
because of immorality and excessive governmental bureaucracy. Is there a lesson in
this to challenge us to do something for
survival?
Dr. Davis is Professor Emeritus of Finance and
Industry, retired from Cat State Fresno, serving as a
volunteer pro tern advisor of students in the SALT
Society, a Club affiliated with Inter-Varsity Christian
fellowship.
