Campus Culture, page 1 0 Associated Students are in business Government now known a s 'Associated Students, Inc.' Cal S tate San Marcos' Associated Students a re officially in business for themselves. A fter t hree years of planning, t he student government became a California staterecognized non-profit corporation, according t o ASI President Michelle Sadova. "The act of becoming a corporation h as totally changed how we f unction," said Sadova. "We have t o work more like a business." The n ew Associated Students, Inc. places CSUSM?s s tudent government more on t he level of governments a t other s tate university campuses, she explained. Sadova said t he government is still in a t ransitional phase where t he ASI still contracts for services t hrough t he university. As time goes on, ASI will b e responsible f or necessities such a s accounting and t ax services. Instead of being a campus s tudent organization, ASI is now considered t o b e a n independent, or campus auxiliary, organization like CSUSM's foundation. T he t ransition t o a n independent corporation h as slowed t he organization's operations a little, according t o Sadova. " It's kind of been difficult t o get organized t his semester because of procedural m atters," she said, "but once we get over t his h ump we hope t o be able t o function b etter." T he s tudent government is in t he process of getting down new procedures for procurement and purchase requisitions. T he ASI does most of i ts work by committee, she explained, and t he organization is searching for s tudent representatives t o sit both on university and s tudent government committees. Sadova also said she is hoping t o have t he ASI sponsor a n umber of forums and events on campus t his year. Sadova is looking a t having more politically-oriented f orums dealing with subjects like fee increases, a s well as having faculty and staff speakers. I n t erms of communication with o ther CSU campuses, Sadova said t he s tudent government's new corporate s tatus will make officers feel more connected with t heir colleagues elsewhere. The only place where t he old Associated Student^ n ame now resides is in t he bylaws. "On paper, we a re still named 'Associated S tudents,'" she concluded, " but in reality — w e're really t he ASI." �Recreation committee begins planning for student sports ews and Information : ^^^itSleduction' | | | ® | | Q p ^ i | f : e S n i c i t y is u p ^ i ^ ^ j ^ ^ t forced l ^ m d ^ ^ d i Califortia pusesto i t s t limitenrollment cording to report// the t h CSU -i * three Board minority of the For 4,972 cent),compared j ^ntHnl99& Other the in with 2,048 {7,9 percent) & 216 (LI { a become CSU percent) both spiteof seen a the S 3,652 b Department grew accwmting by 26 1980s, percent? with f o r h a l ft i b i a lg r o w t h . e t w p . ; 10,8 percent of c state^de, and s y s t e m ' sn e w budget JUffioL Fewer « There 8.1 the high Asian o m i r i s of in e d the 1992. s is the^participation percentage e n r o l li n of high the <1 school CSU sys- - > / • , * f'i ' . high schoolgraduates are 'j^W" be-t campuses l^^us^of dass c a n c e l l a t i o n sa n d In of;|hegraduate® pus, p percent freshmen crisis the Latinos popula- n to d^UiiedrMnce;;.^-;j8tate- rate— 7,595 thepopu- e 19l^hyiischbolgradu- ^What mde from ofFi- I freshmen ^ ;CSU percent- to e relation were ates reduced^nroDmentover^U,- the ;l a t i o n in of graduates* example, ! \ ! ^ 2 p e r c e n to f t h e students n j i i t i f t e r sa n d to diversification i j f e r c e n to f t h e d S U f e s ^ l i m e in CMifornia'spapulationcontinuestolnaccording begin cuts^th^CSU^st^in continual j p c a d u a t e sw h o crease, expertsto 19,§ from (47,4percent)M1990 cuts compared 1989,10.6 enrolled with at reational activities are held there.

All discount coupons will be available through t he ASI. "We hope to offer movie discounts as well," Rombardo a dded, a nd because CSUSM does not have sports/gym facilities as yet, Rombardo and his committee are negotiating s tudent discounts for Gold's Gym, Escondido Sports Palace and local sporting goods stores. "We're also looking into getting discounts to local area r estaurants as well," he continued. The recreation program committee will be meeting every other Wednesday a t noon.

The Recreation Program, formerly known as t he Recreation Committee, was t he brainchild of Michelle Sadova, current council president. L ast y ear, t he c ommittee b rought aerobics, yoga and martial a rts classes to campus. This year's recreation program is headed by Neil Rombardo, student council representative and chairperson for t he program, along with members Robert Chamberlain, Mandi Jordan and Michelle Sadova. The purpose of t he Recreation Program, according to Rombardo, "is to facilitate a campus lifestyle and recreation on campus." The recreation program is co-sponsoring events such as t he upcoming softball tournament. Seventy-eight players have already signed up for the tournament, slated for Oct. 15 a t Bradley P ark in San Marcos. Staff, faculty and student teams are forming, and Rombardo said he is optimistic t hat this year's tournament will be an even bigger event t han last y ear's. Campus groups interested in organizing teams can call Rombardo a t 752-4990. Along with Betsy Reed's physiology and nutrition classes, t he recreation program will be co-sponsoring a campus volleyball event. In addition to softball and volleyball, t he progriam is looking to bring basketball to campus. Rombardo and his committee a re open to any and all suggestions for expanding campus recreational activities.

This is done a t no cost to t he university, said Carlson. "That was a key agent of (the project)," he continued. "The haulers make out because they don't have to pay more to t ake it to t he landfill. The (San Marcos) landfill makes out because they have more space." Running out of space to dispose of t rash is a problem t hat has plagued t he landfill for some time now. Disney Enterprises also wins because they receive t he revenue from t he haulers. The project is being done in conjunction with CSUSM's I nfrastructure II construction project. While Carlson said t here is no toxicity to t he odor produced, it has been a nuisance. Disney plans to introduce a new enzyme in an attempt to "try to improve t he operation to keep t he smell down." The enzyme will also be utilized to speed u p t he decomposition process. Currently, it takes 35 t o 40 days to complete t he process. For every cubic yard of waste hauled onto campus, Carlson explained, t hree cubic feet of mulch is made — a one-ninth reduction in volume. The mulch is mixed with t he soil in an 18- to 20-inch spread along t he northwest section of campus, where an irrigation system will be installed and t he land hydroseeded with a grass mix. Mulch will also be placed on slopes, which will be hydro-seeded with what Carlson called "Caltrans Wildflower Mix Number Two," providing yellow and orange flowers. "When we're all done with this we should end up with something else t hat looks more like a campus t han a used chicken farm," he said. "This is relatively new," Carlson continued. " Obviously, p eople h ave been composting for centuries, b ut to do it on a large scale is relatively new." What is most important to Carlson is t hat he can get t he campus landscaped with a budget he can afford. "I could not have afforded this on 10 years worth of budgets," he concluded. �'Community outreach' is the name of her game Nominate outstanding professors Cal State San Marcos is once again participating in t he California State University Board of Trustees' Outstanding Professor Awards. The trustees have used t he awards since 1963 as an avenue to recognize and encourage excellence in teaching. The nominee from each participating s tate university will be awarded $1000 in addition to t he $4000 for each of two candidates judged most outstanding a t t he CSU level. Full-time and part-time faculty may be nominated by colleagues, students, and/or staff. The award is given to t he faculty member on t he basis of "outstanding contributions to their students, to t heir academic disciplines, and to t he campus communities," according to a release announcing t he nominating process.

Mail them to us at California State University S an Marcos, S an Marcos, CA 9 2096. By Roman S. Koenig When Dr. Davice Sharpe began her job as director of community education for Cal State San Marcos last July, she set her sights on starting something new. "The thrill of (the job) is t hat i t's new like t he rest of t he university,M she explained. The greatest advantage to s tarting a community e ducation p rogram f rom scratch, she continued, is t hat t he highest standards possible can be set without having t o abide by what she called a less-than-optimal history. Her duties include t he creation ofa non-credit education program through working with business, non-profit organizations, industry and t he public. Sharpe said she wants to make one thing clear: non-credit programs are legitimate. "'Non-credit' doesn't necessarily mean t hat it doesn't meet any p articular s et of s tandards," Sharpe said. Sharpe cites t he Art and Belief series of seminars as t he Office of Community Education's first big success. Presented in conjunction with t he California Center for t he Arts, Escondido, t he lecture series is presented by CSUSM faculty a t t he center. Presentations begin Oct. 20. Her work began as soon as she first entered h er office. "The next day I was sitting across t he hall with t he vice president of t he California Center for t he Arts (talking) about what we can do as a team," she recalled. The result was what she called a moderatelypriced event for t he community. All of t he lectures are covered by a one-time $20 fee. "If you pay a little bit for something, even a modest amount, you're apt to value it a little more," she said of t he philosophy behind t he nominal fees. The a rts center p artnership "exemplifies t he kind of outreach t hat CSUSM can have with t he community, from Oceanside t o Temecula," she added, "so we don't t hink t hat t he CSUSM community is limited to San Marcos in any way, shape or form." Important items Sharpe said she would like to see offered are test preparation courses for sev- Photo by Roman S.

She began her duties last July. eral university exams, such as t he Law School A dmissions T est (LSAT), t he Graduate Record Examination (GRE), t he Graduate M anagement Admission T est (GMAT), and t he Multi Subjects Assessment for Teachers (MSAT). "They a re required for admission t o g raduate p rograms," Sharpe said. "I have found t hat (students have) done better on exams a fter a prep course. I t's j ust a whole different level of confidence — and test scores." Sharpe h as developed a survey to find out what kind of exam p reparation c ourses s tudents would like to see on campus. Sharpe brings with her experience from institutions throughout t he United States. She previously served as executive director for t he Center for Software Excellence in Tucson, Ariz. She also worked as a continuing educator a t Syracuse University and at t he University of North Carolina. She earned an undergraduate degree in liberal studies from t he U niversity of C hicago, a nd m aster's and doctorate degrees in adult education from Syracuse. On t he side, Sharpe serves as a member of t he National Board of t he Girls Scouts of t he USA, and holds membership in Sherlock Holmes scion societies in Syracuse, Toronto and Seattle. Community interest in what she is doing at CSUSM is not t he only thing Sharpe is pleased with. "I have found t he faculty and staff to be extremely supportive," she added. r A Modest Survey on Test-Prep r Sessions Yes, I'd be interested in having the following sessions available on campus to prepare me for the associated exam. The associated fee varies with the length of the specific preparation course, which may extend over several sessions: • GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) • LSAT (Law School Admission Test) • MSAT (Multiple Subjects Assessment for Teachers) • GRE (Graduate Record Examination) • MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) Please return by September 3 0 to THE PRIDE office, Academic Hall 2 08 jjbehind the computer labs).

One of t he initiatives on t he November ballot is proposition 187, or SOS (Save O ur State), which was d rafted supposedly a s a m eans t o control illegal immigration. This initiative r epresents a short-sighted approach t o dealing with illegal immigration. Proposition 187 proposes t o deny access t o a variety of public services including education a nd h ealth care t o illegal immigrants (or any one who fails t o prove citizenship). Should t he proposition pass, teachers, doctors and social workers would become government i nformants a nd be required t o verify citizenship s tatus of t heir s tudents, p atients a nd clients. They would be required t o r eport t o t he Immigration a nd Naturalization Service (INS) all individuals suspected of being illegal residents. While proposition 187 promises to control illegal immigration, t he fact is i t does n ot call for reinforcement along o ur borders. While I believe something m ust be done t o stop t he flow of illegal immigration, proposition 187 is n ot t he solution. I n fact, if passed, prop 187 would create even more problems. Denying education t o children of illegal i mmigrants would create a t hird class of children on t he streets. Without any possible opportunity to b etter themselves, t housands of kids would be forced i nto t he s treets to make a living. Imagine, barefoot children selling candies in t he s treet or, worse, involved in criminal activities. P rop 187 —- if passed — would isolate and marginalize a large population ofpeople who e ither already a re or would otherwise b e productive members of o ur society. Our t eachers a nd doctors would not longer be able t o focus on carrying out t heir primary responsibilities toward t heir s tudents and p atients. Since public h ealth would not be available t o illegal residents, vaccinations a nd p renatal care would no longer b e available to help save lives a nd prevent outbreaks of contagious disease (tuberculosis, polio...). Can we possibly allow t his to happen? Can we live with ourselves if we voted t o P^epeotio-e CLAUDIA VAZQUEZ create such misery? T he m ain problem w ith t his initiative is t hat i t is based u pon t he false premise t hat illegal i mmigrants come t o t his country because t hey a re a ttracted t o t he f ree public services. S upporters of 187 believe t hat by t aking away access t o public services for illegal immigrants, t he immigration problem will b e resolved. T he s upporters of 187 fail t o address t he r eal issue. T he r eal issue is t hat a s long a s t here a re jobs waiting for t hem h ere, illegal i mmigrants will continue t o cross t he border, regardless of t he passage of 187. S upporters of 187 also fail t o recognize t he economic c ontributions of illegal immigrants t o t he s tate's economic expansion over t he p ast 30 y ears (from t he inception of t he Bracero P rogram u ntil t he passage of IRCA). T he fact is, t he economic contributions of illegal i mmigrants t o o ur s tate economy f ar outweigh t he cost of t he public services t hey receive. While t he promise of saving s tate revenue is driving t he p ush f or t he passage of prop. 187, t he actual cost t o implement t he law would outweigh a ny benefits. If passed, prop. 187 would c reate m ore bureaucracy, t hus c reating a f urther b urden on a n already weakened s tate economy. Proposition 187, if passed, would cost California taxpayers a t least $15 billion dollars in lost revenue.

A D D l C ' til l • • ! ) UNIVERSITY m i 752-4730 t On the C SU San Marcos Campus �Caffeine Effects To Your 1 Study's results undetermined A Consumer's Guide to the Health and Fitness Fair By Susan Mendes The Health and Fitness Fair sponsored by Student Health Services begins today a t noon in Founder's Plaza and Commons 206. Free services and health screenings will be offered for cholesterol, blood pressure, vision, hearing, dental, posture, glaucoma, skin cancer, lung capacity and body f at. What is t he purpose of on-the-spot health screening? To give you, t he consumer, a brief glimpse of what is going on within your body by finding out if you t est within t he normal ranges. If any of your readings are not within t he normal range, take a card with t he Student Health Services phone number, (752-4915), t hen call to make an appointment a t t he Health Center to speak with t he doctor or n urse practitioner about your concerns. Sometimes they will order f urther tests, and other times they will advise you t o continue to have your condition monitored on a periodic basis. Such is often t he case with skin cancer screenings, for instance. Most people have some type of mole or wart or spot on their skin t hat they have wondered about. "How did I get this?" They might ask. "Why is it there? Is t his dangerous? Could it t urn into skin cancer? Should I have it removed?" Cholesterol is another common concern. "Is my diet affecting my health?" you may ask. Or, "How much body f at do I have? What is my blood pressure?" Many of these questions can be answered at t he fair. If your t ests are normal, t hat's terrific. Be sure to take a few brochures t o read about how to maintain your present level of health; Regular health screenings are an important p art of illness prevention, and can play a vital role in sustaining a healthy body. Also, early intervention for health problems t hat do arise can lead to a much more effective response to t reatment or to healthy habit changes. Good health is aprecious resource. Remember, a healthy student is likely to be a successful student. If you miss anything a t t he fair or are unable to attend, most of t he screening services can be scheduled by appointment at t he Student Health Center, located on t he first floor of Craven Hall. See you a t t he Fair! Caffeine is the most widely tised drug in our society. While most of us consume caffeinated beverages, we rarely stop to consider t hat we are actually taking a drug t hat has powerful physiological effects on multiple body systems. There must be some reason why 53 percent of all American adults drink at least one cup of coffee in t he morning. The reason is caffeine, in small to modest doses, causes a decrease in drowsiness, a more rapid reaction time, an increase in mental acuity and overall feelings and actions consistent with stimulation. Voluntary muscles under t he influence of caffeine are less susceptible to fatigue and t here is a n enhanced capacity for work. Effects in t he cardiovascular system include an increase in h eart rate, a decrease in blood flow to t he brain and a slight increase in blood pressure. As we all know, caffeine increases t he production of u rine by t he kidneys, and is likely t o increase t he volume as well as t he level of acidity in t he stomach. The problem is t hat even in modest amounts, caffeine can worsen pre-existing medical and physiological problems. For example, t here is evidence t hat people with pre-existing anxiety problems, such a s panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder, have a marked increase in symptoms with even small amounts of caffeine. In addition, caffeine can increase symptoms in people with stomach ulcers and/or the so-called irritable bowel syndrome. Similarly, caffeine consumption may be a major contributor to some forms of insomnia. Excessive, repeated heavy intake of caffeine can cause persistent feelings of anxiety and tension, irritability and a feeling of inability to handle stressful situations. I t frequently causes sleep disturbances and tfnftk watck DR. JOEL G RINOLDS often causes chronic fatigue. Abrupt withdrawal of caffeine can cause similar symptoms of irritability, restlessness, lethargy and chronic headaches. After more t han 30 years of research, t here still a re mixed reviews about other health hazards related to caffeine consumption. Specifically, a new study raises doubts about t he safety of excessive coffee consumption among people a t high risk for h eart attacks, b ut in general, most experts feel moderate consumption is safe. Likewise, t here is no conclusive link between caffeine and certain cancers. One recent study even claimed t hat moderate caffeine consumption resulted in a lower risk of colon and rectal cancer. I t is not conclusively known t hat caffeine causes b irth defects or low b irth weight babies, b ut why t ake t he chance? As with many scientific studies, it is frequently hard to uniformly define and compare variables with studies of caffeine consumption. There is difficulty because, not even a cup of coffee has uniform definition. However, in general, experts largely agree t hat moderate coffee consumption (four or fewer cups per day) appears t o be relatively benign. So pour yourself a cup and judge for yourself. However, be careful of t he mochas - t he calories and f at are probably worse for you t han caffeine. Unplanned Pregnancy? Decisions to Make? Don'tface this crisis alone...

UNFORTUNATEH, THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS. E very year, a lot of people make a ' huge mistake on their taxes. They don't take advantage of tax deferral and wind up sending Uncle Sam money they could b e saving for retirement. Fortunately, that's a mistake y ou can easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs not only ease y our current taxbite, they offer a remarkably easy w ay to build retirement income—especially for the "extras" that y our regular pension and Social Security benefits may not cover. Because y our contributions are , made in b efore-tax dollars, y ou pay less t axes now. And since all earnings pn y our S RA are tax-deferred as well, the money y ou don't send to Washington works even harder for y ou. D own the road, that can make a dramatic difference in y our quality of life. What else makes SRAs so special? A range of allocation choices—from the guaranteed security of TIAA to the diversified investment accounts of CREF's variable annuity—all backed by the nations number one retirement system.

Good classwork requires hard long hours, dealing with t he inevitable frustrations of not having time or not getting t he material easily sometimes. For many of our students, classes are not t he be-all and end-all of their lives: many have part- or even full-time jobs; many have families or are developing i mportant i ntimate relationships...the ongoing demands of t heir lives is compounded by t he roller coaster demands of t he academic world of mid-terms and papers. Students' lives are also full of resources and support. For some, these include t he friends in t he study group t hat remind each other t hat t he last lecture was pretty i ncomprehensible. For some it's spouses, lovers, children, parents, ministers... t he parade of those in life who provide an anchor or a reminder of what really matters. These resources can even be memories of wisdom somehow handed down from somewhere, t hat helps get us through the tough moments. At some of t he hardest times, we may feel like we've tried all the usual resources to no avail, or t he stressor is something t hat we need to talk about right here and now. We'd like to suggest t hat you consider dropping by Counseling & Psychological Services, located in 5115 Craven Hall. This office, while small, offers a variety of services aimed at helping students who find themselves temporarily looking f or a way o ut of (or through, or around) life's inevitable rough spots...there is no charge for these services which include: I ndividual b rief c ounseling for personal, academic, or interpersonal matters of concern. We t ry t o focus on t he most immediate issues, sorting through them, figuring out what can and cannot be done, exploring more effective ways to look at t he situations, perhaps supportively encouraging some new behaviors. We often find t hat helping with one issue often has a helpful "ripple" effect in other areas of life. Students who are having difficulties with "significant others," such as boy/girlfriends, spouses, or children may involve these important people in the brief counseling. All counseling work involves a confidential relationship with a professional—a safe place right here on campus to pause, catch a breath, gain perspective and encouragement. S upport g roups are sponsored by Counseling & Psych Services, but aire not professionally led. These are groups "by students, for students," and aim to provide mutual aid by sharing concerns and experiences, brainstorming solutions, lending an ear.
