Campus leaders look over its
passage, Senator Craven issue
By Roman S. Koenig
No amount of protests against Proposition 187 could stop its passage by voters
Nov. 8.
As of last week, statewide voter support of the initiative was 63 percent, with 37
percent voting no, according to^newspaper reports. Protests against t he measure
were intense state-wide, including a protest march that occurred in San Marcos Nov.
2. The march started at Palomar College and made stops at Cal State San Marcos and
the San Marcos city hall. One protester was injured when she was hit by a car, and
a bystander stopped an American flag from being burned.
The issue caught fire at the same time as a controversy concerning reported
comments by state Sen. William Craven (R-Oceanside) occurred at CSUSM, in which
the San Diego Union-Tribune quoted the senator as saying t hat Latinos should carry
identification cards to prove citizenship. Incumbent Craven won his seat again Nov.
8, receiving 64 percent of t he vote according to the office of the San Diego County
Registrar of Voters.
Now t hat the initiative has passed, and now that Craven will continue to serve his
local district, CSUSM leaders are looking to the future.
"It's like crying over spilled milk. It's done, and I can't change the will of the

Students from across north San Diego County attended an anti-Proposition 187 protest before the
election. The procession began at Palomar College, and from there marched to San Marcos City
Hall and then to Cal State San Marcos. The protest, like many others like it across the state, did
not sway voters from supporting the measure.

C SUSM student government election produces dismal returns
Associated Students (AS) President Michelle Sadova expressed disappointment
over voting figures for an on-campus special election held Oct. 17 and 18, in which
only 5 percent of the eligible student population cast ballots.
"It does alarm me," she said Nov. 15. "We're such a small campus you'd think it
would matter more.... It's just apathy. That's the bottom line."
Figures released by the Student Activities Office showed t hat for the College of
Arts and Sciences, out of 1,672 eligible voters only 86 voted — 5 percent, according
to Gezai Berhane, student activities adviser. For the College of Business Administration, 6 percent of eligible voters (37) turned out for the election out of 615 total.
For post-baccalaureate students, 16 percent voted — six voters out of 41 who were
eligible. For the College of Education, only one student voted out of 347 eligible
voters, .3 percent.
"That was disastrous," said Berhane concerning the low figure. The 5 percent
across-the-board turnout is "not bad compared to some other institutions where
they have a turnout of 2 or 3 percent," however.
Sadova said it bothered her t hat students often come to the AS to talk about
campus issues but never vote when given the chance. She said that pressing course
work could be a reason for the low number of voters, however.
"I think ofcourse we could do more," Sadova said o fthe AS's efforts to get the word
out to vote. Currently, the AS is working with campus officials to erect a central
posting area where information can be more easily obtained. The AS recently
installed a posting area in the Commons building study lounge, she said.
"These things are happening," she added. "It just takes time" to get momentum
going to t he projects done.
In t he election, Kris Cristensen and Edward Calvillo were elected to serve as postbaccalaureate representatives to the AS council. Kimberly Ambriz was elected as
undergraduate representative. A vote to ratify AS bylaws also passed 89 percent to
11 percent.

"The passage of Proposition

added Dr. Marcos Martinez, a visual and performing a rts faculty

Associated Students (AS) President Michelle Sadova said she believed the vote in support ofProposition ,187 indicated the inability
of people to adequately address

this. What will happen from here?
I can't say, and (I) try not to specu-
late. I tend to think t hat it will
only cause more tension than ever
before as well as a separation of
t he races."
As for t he issue of removing
Sen. Craven's name from the campus building t hat bears i t, opinions are still split. In fact, the
Associated Students council reversed a previous decision on the
issue Nov. 11. Originally, the council voted not to support the Academic Senate's call for his name's
removal, b ut they chose to support t he Academic Senate in a 5-3
vote a fter a number of students

Sadova.
University President Stacy said
his support of Craven has not

"Nothing's changed. It continues to be a m atter t hat has been
very punishing to the people on

said. "We have a great deal of pain
flowing. ... It seemed to me that
t he proposed cure was out of sync
with t he problem." The University Council, a body made up of
local community members that
acts in lieu of t he CSU Board of
Trustees, voted to support Craven as well, according to Stacy.
"It is u nfortunate t hat one of
our (CSUSM's) staunchest supporters in Sacramento and a pillar of this community would say
something t hat could so easily be
interpreted as blatantly racist,"
countered Martinez. "After these

Students get intense during
first Spanish weekend
Immigration conference Friday
The Center for Multicultural Studies at Cal State San Marcos
is sponsoring a two-day immigration conference Friday and
Saturday (Nov. 18 and 19) entitled "Immigration: The Panic and
the Promise in the United States and Mexico."
The conference will focus on the sweeping changes that are
transforming the social geography of North America, with particular emphasis on the United States-Mexico border region.
Conference participants will present and discuss their research
in pairs — one scholar will focus on Mexico, the other on the
United States. This parallel format is intended to reflect the
parallel interaction that occurs with international migration.
Noted American and Mexican scholars will address such
general themes as growth and crisis in Mexico and the United
States, immigration and emigration, and the transformation of
local economies and communities. Specific topics include "Immigrants as Benefactors and Scapegoats in California's Cycles of
Growth," "The Changing Context ofMexican Immigration to the
United States," "NAFTA and Mexican Migration to the United
States," "Immigrants in High Tech Economy: an Ethnographic
Study of a Mexican Enclave in San Jose" and "Americans View
Their Immigration: Past, Present and Future." All papers submitted at the conference will appear in a bilingual collection to be
published in early 1995.
Also included in the conference is an art exhibit and entertainment by a Mexteco-Zapoteca dance group.
The conference is open to the public. Fees range from $2 for
students to $15 for general admission. Fee waivers are available
for non-profit community service organizations. For registration
forms or further information, call 752-4017.
Curry teaches women's film course
Winter session at Cal State San
Marcos begins J an. 3. The winter
session is a three-week academic program held between t he fall and spring
semesters which provides students an
additional^ opportunity to complete
degree requirements and gives members of the community who are not
enrolled in the university the opportunity to take credit classes.
One of the courses, women before
and behind the camera, a highly-regarded course taught by Dr. Renee
Dr. Renee Curry
Curry, is being offered for the first
time to the public at large on a non-credit basis. Members of the
general public can join students enrolled in the class, view a
dozen great films, and participate fully in the discussions and
activities without being required to complete any assignments.
The course will be divided into two units: "Women Stars and the
Star System in Hollywood" and "International Women Directors." The class will meet Tuesday through Friday from 6 to 9:50
p.m. during the three-week session. The total cost for the noncredit series will be $150.
Among the 27 classes being offered are computer masteiy,
criminology, postmodern film & fiction, renaissance literatures,
aging & society and introduction to women's studies. These
offerings are in addition to general courses in business administration and education.
The registration fee for credit courses is $105 per unit.
Parking and student fees are an additional $27. Registration for
all courses will take place Dec. 5-9.
For more information on Curry's class call 752-4038. For
additional information on credit classes call 752-4051.

Twenty participants took part
in the first Intensive Spanish
Weekend recently hosted by the
Cal State San Marcos College of
Arts & Sciences/Program in Foreign Languages under the direction of professors Dr. Francisco
Martin and Dr. Darci Strother.
The objective of the weekend
was to provide participants with
an affordable opportunity to learn
and experience Spanish full-time
for the duration of the weekend.
From the time participants arrived on Friday to the time they
left on Sunday, they were expected
to speak only Spanish.
Unlike similar programs, this
program was held locally at the
San Clemente Youth Hostel,
thereby eliminating costly travel
time and expenses. The accommodations included two large
sleeping areas with bunk beds
along with large dining and living
: areas*, The cost of the weekend
was $60, which included meals
and accommodations.
Activities of the weekend included music, dancing, games, discussion groups, Spanish workshops and participant presentations. At the San Clemente beach,
frisbee, a water balloon catch and
other activities were held along
with a bonfire and shish kebab.
Participants also hat the option to
attend Spanish mass at a local
church.

participate in a balloon toss at San Clemente beach.
Students who took part in the
weekend gave special recognition
to Martin and Strother for the
success of the program.
"The intensive Spanish weekend was fantastic," noted student
Patricia Hubbs. "Professor Martin and Professor Strother were
extremely well-organized and
worked very hard. There was a
wonderful combination of work
and play."
"Professor Martin and Professor Strother did an outstanding
job," added Cheryl Viertel, another
participant. "Not only was the
weekend highly organized and tremendously helpful with my com-
munication skills, it wasjust plain
fun."
Each participant received a
certificate of completion from the
professors at the end of the weekend.
"The weekend was great. We
all had fun cooking, playing games
and working together," said Cori
Gustine. "I learned a lot and look
forward to the next one."
More Intensive Spanish Weekends are planned for next semester, but space is limited. Those
interested can call the Office of
Community Education at 7524018.
System-wide enrollment encouraging
California State University
(CSU) officials have expressed
optimism that they can come close
to meeting their goal ofincreasing
enrollment by 2,500 full-time
equivalent students (FTES) for
the year, after fall figures showed
a stabilization of the system's enrollment picture for thefirsttime
since massive budget reductions
began in 1991.
Overall, total enrollment for
t he system stands at 319,394,
down from 325,639 (1.9 percent)
in fall 1993. Total FTES for the
system stands at 244,812, down
from 247,513 (1.1 percent) last
fall. The major portion of the decline — over 70 percent — occurred at Cal State Northridge,
which is still attempting to recover from January's devastating
e arthquake. Fall FTES, with
Northridge excluded, is down by
802 (.3 percent).
"Although enrollment is down
very slightly, the patterns of enrollment reveal a healthier bal-
ance between enteringand graduating classes. We expect CSU campuses will be in a strong position
for spring admissions," said Executive Vice Chancellor Molly
Corbett Broad.
Several campuses showed notable increases over fall 1993: San
Francisco State (up 507 FTES),
Cal State Los Angeles (up 456
FTES), San Diego State (up 400
FTES) and Cal State San Marcos
(up 314 FTES).
Particularly good news in the
enrollment picture is t hat for the
first time since fall 1988, the CSU
system enrolled a first-time freshmen class that was larger than the
previous fall's. The fall 1994 CSU
first-time freshman class should
finalize its count at j ust over
25,000, some 2,000 to 3,000 more
students than fall 1993 figures.
This year 43,000 s tudents
graduated in the spring and summer (representing approximately
14 percent of all the students enrolled last spring). This is the largest percentage of spring semester
students to graduate in some time,
and more than campuses had originally anticipated. This made room
to open CSU doors to more Californians for fall 1994. In addition
to the increase in first-time freshmen, just under 37,000 new undergraduate transfers enrolled,
some 1,000 more than in fall 1993.
"We have accomplished our
goals for readjusting enrollment
in light of the drastic budget cuts
we sustained and are now recovering our momentum," added
Broad. "We are optimistic about
our ability to serve qualified applicants to the CSU. We are offering more classes and students are
responding and graduating. That
should signal good news for potential students, their families and
ultimately the state's employers,
since the CSU is the major provider of the state's college-educated work force."

Each year hundreds of articles are written expressing t he seriousness and the reality of job availability to college graduates,
such as "Just How Welcome is the Job
Market to College Grads?" in BusinessWeek
magazine (Koretz, Nov. 9,1992) or "More
College Graduates Maybe Chasing Fewer
Jobs" in the Occupational Outlook Quarterly (Shelley, summer 1992).
These articles help validate the fact t hat
having a degree does not guarantee employment. So what can you do to increase
your chances for success in the job search
process?
Many college students think about their
ideal job, but only a few students know how
to successfully look for one. Listed below
are a few helpful hints for obtaining t hat
ideal job.
•Begin your job search three to six
months in sfdvance or up to 12 months for
government jobs.
• Know yourself and your options. How
does your education and/or experience
qualify you for t he job?
•Know what is important to you, like
the type of work, your responsibilities, the
work environment, your title, money, security, work schedule, advancement, opportunities, interaction with others, etc.
• Do your homework. How much do you
know about t he position and/or the company where you are applying? Find out as
much as possible through research and
networking.
• Know your resources to find a job. The
Career Center, library, publications, or
networking with faculty, professors, family
and friends are options.
• Prepare your paperwork. Create a targeted resumS, cover letter, portfolio and
contact references.
Many of t he above suggestions seem
r ather simple, but they can prove to be
helpful. To improve on your success in
finding ajob, stop by t he Career Center and
talk to one of t he counselors. The Career
Center is a valuable resource and services
are free to enrolled students. Check it out

Campo landfill isn't the
The system still works answer
With all of its problems, I was nonetheless reassured this November 8 t hat
our governmental system is still of, by
and for the people.
In 1992, the voters elected Bill Clinton
president, on t he promise t hat he would
bring change. Two years later, after
realizing t hat his was not t he kind of
change they wanted, t he people then
overhauled t he Congress, whose House
had been Democrat occupied since 1954,
and whose Senate had been controlled
by said party for 48 of t he last 60 years.
This time around, t he voters wanted
change from t he long-time one party
domination, so they went out and got it;
and in doing so, they took some pretty
big names down with them: potential
Democratic Senate leader Jim Sasser,
governors M ario Cuomo a nd Ann
Richards, House Speaker Tom Foley,
former Ways and Means Chairman Dan
Rostenkowski, and Mike Synar, who lost
in the primary.
When certain politicians let it be
known t hat they were too corrupt for
their own good, they got the boot.
Rostenkowski, seekinghis 19th term,
was up to his neck in t he House bank
scandal, and had taken tax dollars for
personal needs, was promptly removed
from office by his constituents.
Foley's state, Washington, had put
term limits on him in 1992. In the
height of arrogance, he sued his own
bosses over this. So for the first time
since 1860, a sitting House Speaker was
voted out of office. So much for term
limits.
At a town hall meeting in his Oklahoma district a few months ago, Synar
actually told his constituents, "You just
don't get it," to which someone in the
audience replied, "No, you don't get it."
GREG HOADLEY
He then lost his primary to a 71-year
old, whose campaign headquarters were
in his basement.
So, politically speaking, these recent
elections could not have gone more perfectly for the GOP, who didn't lose a
single gubernatorial or congressional
incumbent.
They also won the Senate without
the help of their two most controversial
candidates, Michael Huffington and
Oliver North. Granted, both cam very
close to winning, but in our system, it's
winner take all, so close doesn't count.
To add icing to t he cake of new majority leader Bob Dole, t he conservative
Democrat Richard Shelby switched parties. This is fitting for Shelby, who
voted t he Republican line more often
anyway. It was becoming too apparent
to him t hat the Democrats didn't have a
place for him in their party.
Critics of t he Republicans will say
t hat they promised too much to get
elected (i.e., balance t he budget, but
raise military spending and cut taxes).
So what should we do about this?
Well, over the next two years, let's hold
the members of t he Republican controlled Congress' feet to t he fire, but at
the same time give them the benefit of
the doubt. If they don't produce, they
they should probably get the boot we
just gave the Democrats. This will show
our government, once again, who really
owns the country.

Dear Editor:
In my opinion,San Diego's trash problem is a terrible crisis and to think that any
landfill project could do more than prolong
the inevitable dilemma is folly. The Campo
Band of Mission Indians cannot help San
Diego citizens, though their desire to do so
is meritorious.
We residents of San Diego, and many
other quickly growing communities like
our own, must change the very way t hat we
view "waste." We need to implement new
programs t hat will treat our waste so t hat
it may be reduced, reused and recycled and
we must not fall into the t rap of calling
upon our kind neighbors to store our garbage on their already diminished lands.
Truly, I wonder at t he wisdom of t he
tribal elders t hat would invite San Diego
County waste management crews to allow
the tidal wave of our garbage to flood onto
their reservation. Haven't t he Federal and
State governments taken enough from t he
tribes; must we reduce their remaining
lands to trash heaps as well? I fear for the
young of this tribe. What will happen when
San Diego's waste seeps into their drinking
water? Will this landfill amount to another
gift of pestilent blankets t hat we use to
further weaken t he tribes?
Their brochure promises me t hat my
joining with will not cost me a thing; I
PUBLIC FORUM
respond, with my belief, t hat it would cost
the tribe their health and would cost me my
good conscience. As to your argument t hat
this landfill will assure the tribe jobs and
financial stability, I would invite you and
your tribe to look to the works of your
brothers and sisters who enjoy the receipts
of their casinos. I encourage you to use
your guile to secure a future for your children and their children rather t han expending your last and finest resource, t he
Earth, in a gamble t hat will, most likely,
end in the poisoning of your people, physically and spiritually. This landfill is not t he
answer to your bright f uture but a deadly
t rap t hat has been wrongfully sold to you
and which you, now, are tryingto sell to me.
I wish you and your tribe health and a
long life of peace in this world. And I do not
wish to store my garbage on or in our sacred
Earth.

Literature and Writing Studies
Wonders of ginseng are
misleading
A recent Pride article on the Health and
Fitness page about the "magical powers" of
ginseng caught my eye (November2,1994).
Although I am not familiar with scientific
studies of ginseng and its components, l am
suspicious and somewhat worried about
the claims made for it in the article, especially as no evidence for the various claims
was presented.
Controversy surrounds many drugs
whose efficacy and safety have been tested
extensively by pharmaceutical companies
and medical schools under the watchful eye
of the Food and Drug Administration. I
would therefore be very surprised if there
did not also exist much controversy about
the safety or beneficial effects of ginseng, a
complex natural product which has not
gone through such thorough study. I am
disappointed t hat neither opposing views
nor scientific evidence about t he safety or
beneficial effects of ginseng was presented
i n the article.
I encourage consumers to be highly skeptical oft he claims made by t he manufactur-
ers, distributors and sellers of "traditional
medicines" and "health foods," and to accept such claims only when sound evidence
for their safety and benefits is presented.
Although it is true t hat many valuable
medications have been derived from "traditional medicines," these are most safe
and effective when t he active ingredients
are isolated, studied and prescribed in controlled dosages by a physician who understands their physiological effects. Many of
the'"natural" products on the market do no
good; a few do no good and are later found
to do harm, as well. Perhaps the greatest
harm is done when people with a real medical problem choose to treat their problem
with an ineffective "traditional" or "natural" remedy instead of getting effective
help from a qualified medical professional.

The facts about
Influenza
In our beautiful Southern California it is difficult to tell that winter is
just around the corner. With winter
comes the first round of respiratory
viruses and eventually true influenza
commonly call the "flu". True influenza is a viral respiratory infection
that strikes suddenly with high fever,
bodyaches, frequently severe headache
(especially around the eyes) dry hacking cotigh and ofter respiratory symptoms. Most young healthy adults will
be able to recover from the infection
without much problem except missing
a few days of classes or work. For
others who are considered "high risk",
the illness can be very serious with
pneumonia and a long recovery being
prominent.
To prevent this potentially serious
illness each year an Influenza "Flu"
vaccine is developed. It changes each
year because although the clinical illness doesn't change the virus does.
Viruses are very sneaky microbes. By
the way, there are two (2) significant
influenzaviruses,A&B. Type A causes
the most severe illness. The vaccine
this year protects against 2 viruses of
the A type and one of the B type. The
best time to get the vaccine is essentially now through November because
it often takes a few weeks to develop
antibodies after vaccination. The immunity then lasts at its highest level
for approximately three (3) months.
As with many preventive health
practices people don't avail themselves
to their benefits. One reason frequently
given is that influenza is a nuisance
illness. As previously stated it is very
serious for high risk people and can
strike even healthy people quicklycausing pneumonia. Also, it is a major
factor in loss of school and work days.
Secondly, people all too often have
heard stories about reactions that
mostly are not true and frequently
greatly exaggerated. Studies have demonstrated almost the same reported
effects with vaccine or placebo (placebo being not an active vaccine). Also,
the newer vaccines are purer and more
sophisticated. The only true
//
//
$
m
/
contraindication not to receive the vaccine is a serious allergy to eggs because
the viruses used to create the vaccine
are grown in egg cell-culture.
Who should d efinitely receive t he v accine i.e. t he
high-risk groups? T hey are
as follows:
1. People with chronic lung or heart
disease. This includes persons with
asthma-which includes many collegeage students.
2. People with chronic metabolic
disease such as diabetes, kidney disease or people who are immunosuppressed.
3. People over the age of 60.
4. People who are capable of transmitting flu to high-risk patients such
as
a. Health care workers - including non professionals who work
with or provide services to high-risk
patients
b. Persons living in the same
household with high-risk patients
Also, although not considered highrisk, people who provide essential community services should contemplate
vaccination. In my mind this would
include teachers, teachers' aids, preschool teachers, counselors, etc. Many
college-age students work in these areas.
Student Health Services will be offering the Influenza Vaccine through
November to both high-risk and other
patients until supplies run out. They
are offered free to students. Ifyou have
any questions or requrie further information call 752-4915.

Liquid Groove—local band in demand
Liquid Groove emerged almost two years
ago as one of t he brightest lights on t he
horizon of San Diego's proliferating music
scene. This dynamic* "counter-alternative" four-piece band fuses sensual, gutwrenching vocals, powerful, standout bass
line, catchy, upbeat drums, percussion,
hook-laden, rhythmic guitar, and some of
the best songwriting you've ever heard, to
create a totally distinctive sound of their
own. Liquid Groove's music speaks for
itself. Theirs is an exciting formula that
includes compelling, "talked about" live
performances and adventurous, unbridled
songs—a powerful artistic force t hat adds
a new dimension to, and challenges the
structure of, today's contemporary music'.
Liquid Groove is currently performing a t clubs, coffeehouses, parties, and
special events throughout Southern
California ( ie. San Diego MTV Spring
Break, S.D. Civic t heater, Belly Up,
Casbah, Bodie's, and other locales in
Orange and Los Angeles Counties.
Floyd Rose, their manager, says,
"Liquid Groove has the potential to go
as far as you can go in the industry—
straight to the top. There's no limit.
