DEVLIN M PRÎDE^ÂpS^SUSMBDU DîSTRI&tJTIOM MANAGER KATIE BRUGGEMAN | J^FÉ&fdKâs Eb'ïTÔRriH : AMANDA ANDREÌIN " In the fall of 2006 when two students enrolled in a women's studies course titled "Women in Performance," a course that focused on the body image and the female form, Professor, Karen Schaffman, assigned her students an assignment that would propel Jennifer Schouwe and Alexis Macias to create a campus organization named, IntHERnational. IntHERnational will become a part of CSUSM next fall, and it will aim to educate students in global issues surrounding the violations of women's human rights. IntHERnational will have a set focus on women without voices and women who are suppressed, abused, murdered or forgotten. Professor Schaffman asked to her class to create a zine. Macias and Schouwe created a zine titled IntHERnational with Barbara Whalen, Randi Leyva and Celeste Lampro. "The assignment was designed to artfully address any women's issues or a topic concerning women," Schouwe and Macias said. The zine focused on women from Afghanistan, Guatemala, Kenya, India and the United States. Each section of the zine informs its readers on women of various regions.

"The importance of having a club like IntHERnational that raises awareness and discussion about women's issues is clear," Schouwe and Macias said. "As IntHERnational relates to greater San Diego, establishing a grassroots connection on campus breeds a more lasting and honest beginning for larger community connections." Schouwe and Macias plan on hosting events including art exhibits and performances by dance and acting groups. In order to help local women and their families, Schouwe and Macias also plan on volunteering with CSUSM students for local nonprofit organizations. "In all honesty, we encourage students, faculty, and any community member to offer suggestions or input as to how we can be most effective as an organization in encouraging people to become more involved in our cause," said Schouwe and Macias. For more information on getting involved with IntHERnational, contact Jennifer Schouwe email@example.com Alexis Macias at macia005@csusm. edu. Afghanistan section speaks of girls as young as 11 or 12 who have been given away in marriage to repay a debt. The zine also offers information for readers to donate to RAWA, the oldest socio-political organization of Afghan women. The zine also provides information on female genital mutilation in the Maasai community of Kenya. The zine describes how the 5,000 year old practice of removing the entire clitoris and labia is unwanted among women but the practice is the only means of acceptance of women in the community. The zine also features information on women of Guatemala, India and the United States. Following the zine project, each student took part in a performance that included a vigil and an art interpretation of each zine. After the performance, Schouwe and Macias said, "Karen offered her enthusiasm in suggesting we conduct our performance for the entire school. Alexis and I then thought more about the impact our message would have, but on a more lasting level, such as starting a club." an actual weapon loaded with blanks, so there will be noise.

Representatives from a variety of departments, student organizations, and clubs were in attendance, including representatives of the Women's Studies Department, PAN, LGBTA, Triota, and members of ASI. "Without allies like yourselves, none of this would have been possible," said Lissa Lim, co-founder of the Women's Center. The event celebrated the success of the Women's Center and its leading ladies: Morgan Hoodenpyle, Programming and Events Coordinator, Cheyenne Barr, Director of Men's Activism and Outreach, Hermina Ramirez, Director of Women's Activism and From F O R U M , page 1 growing ethnic groups at CSUSM. The growing number of students who want an Asian-American course is on the rise. Graduate student Patricia Guevana said to the 60 students and faculty in attendance, "We have studies for women; there are Latino studies and African-American studies, but we do not have a voice for Asian-Americans." Freshman Bryant Vuong said, "Mostly what we know of our culture is from our parents." The meeting brought up issues of language and how this generation of Asian-American students feels that they have lost or are losing their language as well as their culture. Guevana said, "Not many of you have had an opportunity to take an Asian-American class, and if you From P A I N T B A L L , page 1 won the last four, ending up with a 44 record overall." Currently, the Cougars are ranked 19th in the nation out of 65 teams for Class AA and are hoping Outreach and Lissa Lim, Operations Coordinator. "It seems unfair that the four of us get credit when really it's been a team effort. We have come far this year. Look at us. This is our family. We are here together. We are here because we all beliçve in the same things," Lim said. Cheyenne Barr gave a solo a-cappella performance of a tune that she wrote to honor several volunteers. The ditty was a spin on the Inez and Charlie Foxx version of "Mockingbird." Barr asked guests to stand as their names popped up in the lyrics. The Women's Center distributed 25 certificates of appreciation to student leaders of CSUSM, along with earth toned t-shirts decorated with the image of the growing tree displaying many of the participant's names. About sixty-five invitations were sent out for the ceremony. A slide show featuring volunteers brought the event to a close on a cheerful note and left participants laughing away at all the good memories they had shared while working together. Out of all the events the Women's Center hosted in the past year, Hoodenpyle said, "The most popular event of the semester was the singer, songwriter Ellis, who is a lesbian performer." Following the slide show, guests were asked to check underneath their seats for a purple ribbon, and winners possessing the ribbons received bonsai trees for a prize. Lim closed her speech with a quote, "Margaret Mead was right when she said, 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed that's the only thing that ever has.'" have, it has been somewhere else." With high hopes of gaining support of fellow students, Guevana and fellow students passed a petition around the room to gain signatures in hopes of imposing the importance of courses on Asian-American culture on President Karen Haynes and the rest of the CSUSM community. But having courses placed on the agenda is only a starting point. Students also hope to give future students an opportunity to minor in AsianAmerican studies, and potentially even major in it. But the support of fellow classmates might not be enough to gain these courses. Liberal Studies professor Robert Yamashita said, "We can fill the schedule with as many courses as possible, but we cannot teach AsianAmerican courses if the students don't enroll for them." The professors emphasized the slow procedure that would take place to gain courses and the responsibility of those students who want to register for the classes. "It would be a huge step back for all of us if we were to make an approach at adding courses for Asian-American studies and then have three or four students register for the class. They would then take that course off the schedule and add another course at the time slot and we it would be heavy blow to what we are trying to accomplish today," Yamashita said. With high hopes of achieving a course for next fall, the staff members in attendance were able to get a better of picture of how many students are interested in taking a course on AsianAmerican studies. to improve their overall standing. Paintball is ranked the 3rd most popular extreme sport in the United States with over 10 million participants, according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association. In the past 20 years, paintball has blossomed from a 'war game' played in the woods to a legitimized tournament sport. "People think we wear camouflage and play pretend war out in the forest... it's nothing like that. We play on a regulation sized field, with rules, penalties, referees, spectators, and media. Tournament style play is fast and fierce," said team member Andrew Craig.

With each proceeding year Cougars paw out more and more money each semester as not only tuition increases but other items such as parking costs increase. Unfortunately, the inflation within the cost of pursuing a higher education does not equal the amount of money Cougars earn. Thus, student loans offer a much-needed band-Aid for the situation. The majority of student loans start with Free Application for Federal Student Aid. FAFSA applications are due before July 2. FAFSA determines eligibility for student loans. Student loans are subsidized and/or unsubsidized. Subsidized loans allow students to take out loans from the federal government without having to pay interest or make payments while attending school at least part-time. Subsidized loans remain interest free and payment free until the student has not attended school at least part-time status within a six-month period. Unsubsidized loans acquire interest and require the student to make monthly payments while attending school. CSUSM requires all first time student loan students to complete two items. First, students must complete Loan Entrance Counseling through the internet. Then students must electronically sign a loan promissory note. Aside from the FAFSA, there are other student loan oppor- UNITED STATES ARMY HEALTH CARE SERGEANT FIRST ClASS <^FC) WAUD W m Wk - —u Q $77) 7330 CU 2- 1— « 2 Titscthy.W«ud@us4fec. »ray.nul NURSE CORPS~ ADNRNs for Army Reserves Cash bonus Financing for BSN Local Employment Advanced nurse trai ning available; CRNA, LTHET.CC.

The Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students PLUS allows parents of dependent-students to take out student loans. Parents qualify for the loan based on a credit check. A monthly payment of at least 50 dollars is required within 60 days of disbursement. The loan amount is due within ten years. The Federal Perkins Loan o ffers a loan primarily for teaching credential students. The loan focuses on certain groups due to limited funding. The loan requires outstanding financial need. Similar to a subsidized l6an, payments are required 9 months a fter the student has stopped attending school with at least part-time status. As long as the student remains in school part-time, the loan remains interest f ree as well. The Cal State San Marcos Spicer loan allows students to take out up to $4,000 in student loans. Also similar to a subsidized loan, students make payments a fter they have stopped attending school parttime within six months. The Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships determines eligibility. The Cal State San Marcos Emergency Loan quickly allows students to take out $500. The loan is interest free. The loan amount is also due at the end of the semester. The loan becomes available two days after processing. Curious or confused Cougars should visit Cougar Central, which is located in the Tukwut courtyard on the third floor of Craven Hall.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Scotland is a country often passed oyer in lieu of its cousin, Ireland. But for the life of me I cannot understand why. It is a land of hauntingly beautiful landscapes, friendly peoples and amazing history. Vast mountain ranges scrape the ceiling of billowing clouds and the sparkling Lochs and rivers burst with life. Indeed, there is such an amazing expanse of unspoiled countryside just waiting to be explored. Scotland holds a host of relics and secrets and it is not uncommon for a visitor to stumble upon such forgotten and hidden treasures, be it the ruins of a castle, ancient Celtic carvings or rare spectacular wildlife- such as the secretive sea otter or pine martin. Scotland is a land of contradiction - of warriors and artists, peace and chaos; and she has something to offer everyone. From the outdoor enthusiast, the gastronomy or the history buff - she has it all. For me, on a trip to the Kyle of Lochalsh; the image of a red, twelve-pointer stage thundering alongside an old steam train, dragon-like with clouds of steamy breath hitting the cool highland air is firmly imprinted into my brain. In case you didn't realize it yet - 1 love Scotland; it is the land of my birth, and my home. As an unofficial ambassador to my homeland, I often hear the plans of future tourists and, more often than not, they present such an unrealistic itinerary that I cringe - yes it is a small country but do not be fooled! We have some of the wildest terrain imaginable and the canny traveler must be prepared for amazingly winding roads, this also means that a longer amount of time must be factored into a journey through a mountain range, along with other considerations, such as holdups caused by free ranging livestock and inclement weather. In fact, stormy weather may descend at a moments notice and the winds and rain can carry with them the same fervor as the magnificent landscape itself. All of that information digested, the next thing to realize is that there are different and distinct cultures in Scotland, a major divider being the highlands and the lowlands respectively. Needless to say, there is a vastly different experience to be gained from time spent in either of these regions. A trip to the constantly mispronounced Capital city of Edinburgh is a must. The correct pronunciation is Edin-bur-UHH, as in 'huh'. It is NOT EdinBURG (so please do not call it that!). Apart from the Castle, which contains the crown jewels, there are so many places to explore in the city, far too many to list here! Other cities worth a peek aré Glasgow, for its amazing nightlife and art; St. Andrews - the birthplace of golf, Fort William with rugged Glencoe nearby and the highest mountain in the highlands — Ben Nevis. Inverness with its close proximity to Loch Ness and Dingwall, has so many highland attractions within easy reach. An often missed region of Scotland is the Trossachs; this is Rob Roy Macgregór country and it encompasses the stunning Loch Lomond, the tranquil village of Balquhidder and breathtaking countryside. Stirling, a really underappreciated city in my opinion, is nearby and it is here that you will find the Wallace monument. It contains exhibits, a spectacular panoramic view from the top of the monument and the huge sword of Wallace himself! Getting to the mainland however is mandatory to fully appreciate the culture of Scotland as her scores of islands have different stories to tell. So next time you are thinking of heading overseas, consider Scotland, not only Ireland! Just make sure you allocated enough time and try to visit the Highland and Islands too, for a real taste of life there, why not visit all the distilleries - become a genuine whisky connoisseur! Such a trip to Scotland will reveal that there is much more than bagpipes, kilts, haggis and 'Braveheart' to enjoy...want a real surprise? - Visit the lovely village of Plockton - we have naturally growing palm trees there! But don't just take my word for i t... �Jock Talk With Josh: Sinning off BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer When I was in 8th grade I went on a field trip t o CSUSM. I don't remember what for. That was back in 1999 when I was 13 years old. I remember standing at the top of the stairs that lead t o Science Hall, j ust watching the students walk around campus. I remember at the end of the day saying I wasn't interested in going t o that University. It didn't have sports. I remember a Saturday in April of 2003 when I came to CSUSM to take my placement tests. I was mad because I was missing the opening of the NBA playoffs. I remember a day in Summer 2003 when I had orientation and signed up for Fall 2003 courses. I remember sitting in Arts 240, wondering how this group of people called the O-Team could be so damn happy at 8AM. I remember the tour around campus. I remember arriving at Commons 201, just past die ASI offices, above the University store, and t o the l eft of the elevator. The guide said this was where the student newspaper had its office. It seemed like he was looking directly at me when he said t hat I remember the first Tuesday of Spring 2004. It was 5PM and I was waiting in the hallway of 2007 University Hall to attend my first newspaper class. I remember these two women introducing themselves, asking why I was interested in the newspaper. I remember saying, " I want t o be a sports journalist when I grow up? One of those women was Sarah Carlin. I remember her calling me on Wednesday February 11th, telling me t o come t o campus. She asked i f l wanted t o write a sports column every week. I asked what we would call i t I remember Michael Dolan, the Ombudsman and future editor-in-chief, sitting in a chair, helping u s come up with a title. Sarah thought up "Jock Talk," and I added "With Josh." I remember Tuesday February 17th, 2004 when the first "Jock Talk With Josh" came o ut It was about the dangers of ephedra based drugs and how they were affecting the world of sports. Since I'm graduating this semester, this is the final "Jock Talk." I have learned and experienced so much because of this column. This helped turn me into a working journalist with the "San Diego Union-Tribune" on April 29th 2004. It gave me a voice to influence. If l wanted to talk about something, I wrote it here. I 'll never forget when a current staff writer told me she joined the paper because of the article I wrote in opposition t o the University Hour. This also got me into a lot of trouble. I got my share of hate mail when I lambasted the Winter Olympics and when I commented on the media's hypocrisy in the Michael Richards incident When my picture first accompanied the column, April 13th 2004, I found out that people actually read this. To this day I 'm still shocked when someone tells me they read this. Earlier this semester on a Friday night I was at a restaurant in Solana Beach when a woman came up to me, asking if I was Josh Sandoval. I didn't know her, and was wondering how she knew me. She told me she loves my column and reads it every week. It meant a lot t o me any time someone came up t o me on campus and told me they read this. I could fill this final column with just names of people and places that meant something to me, so here are a few. I've worked with three faculty advisors: Jennifer Woodring, Anthony Hurst, and Joan Anderson. I've worked in three newspaper rooms: Commons 201, ACD 301, and Craven 3500. I've worked with five editorin-chiefs: Elizabeth Baldwin, Jon Rodley, Michael Dolan, Patrick B. Long, and David Galley. I also have t o mention Jason Encabo, the current Managing Editor and future editor-in-chief, because I've been on the paper with him the longest There wasn't a Sports section until my column came around. My dream came true this year when my column got pushed t o the Opinion section because others joined t o cover sports. Thank you Jeremy Albers, Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, David Church, Richard Esperti and Kyle Trembley. I'm going t o miss this newspaper. I invested four years and 90 columns, so I know I 'll shed a tear in F ait2007 when this is no longer part of my life. I don't know where I 'll be in 10 years. I could be a sports writer, an MLB General Manager, a national radio host, or a best selling author. Who the heck knows? One thing I do know is I have this column t o thank for getting me started. For the last time, comments can be sent to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and the paper at firstname.lastname@example.com. •Siili Mmbriit'htesä I« I^^HBHB nimonitnisaal BBaBPWgBSBi^iaiigieaveiyiD •MMMÉDL • IR • Xj S M MAROOS W « t ( 7 6 0 ) 5 1 0 - 1 9 9 7 Santa F«Rd.

He's got a knack for cracking us up and a taste for music that's won him a Grammy. He's got a dog named Roscoe, and in his spare time, he likes to hang out with his Mends, watch movies and read. In his fourth film, "The Ex," B raff plays Tom Reilly, a character struggling t o call a handicapped person a, shall we say, an asshole? "One of things the movie addresses," Braff said, "is how do you deal with someone who's an asshole, they happened t o b e in a wheelchair, but they're an asshole? You feel so sorry for this guy because he's had to deal with all this adversity in his life, but he's an asshole. This guy's trying to ruin my life, and no one will side with me because everyone feels sorry for him." Directed by Jesse Peretz, "The E x" stars "Arrested Development"'s Jason Bateman as Chip Sanders who is paraplegic and still has a thing for Sofia Kowalski (Amanda Peet). Sofia, a lawyer, is a new mother and happily married to Tom. When Sofia chooses to become a stay-at-home mom, Tom finds it challenging to step up to the demands of providing for his family, especially when faced with working alongside Bateman's character, Chip. Off camera, the two comedians hammed it up, and according to Braff, Bateman's jokes left him giggling like a schoolgirl. "Mostly it's him making f un of me and laughing at my expense. He's one of those people, he can be making f un of you and you're just cracking up because he's so freakin' funny." Growing up in New Jersey, Braff was exposed to Manhattan's performing art scene early on. He has memories of his parents commuting into Manhattan to see performances at art house theaters well before independent films were the thing to see. At home in New Jersey, B rafFs father would host dinner parties for friends and project 16-millimeter films on the wall. Most of those movies were Woody Allen films. "Even at a young age, before I could possibly understand a Woody Allen movie or anything else, I have memories of my father celebrating the art of movies and filmmaking." The art of filmmaking turned into a dis- cipline for Zach. He graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Film and a minor in Musical Theatre. From there he landed a role in Woody Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mysteries," where Braff said, "If you look at my face closely for the forty five seconds I'm on screen, you'll notice that I looked terrified. I was in a little bit over my head." In 2001, Braff became Dr. John "JD" Dorian on "Scrubs." Next season's future of "Scrubs" is uncertain. "My gut is that it will be on, but it won't be decided until May 15, and particularly which network. It will either be on NBC or ABC." As a writer, director and soundtrack producer for "Garden State," Braff has a thing or two to say about making films for the aspiring film makers. "You can't talk about it," Braff said, "No amount of taking classes or talking about it is going to make any difference. You have to get out there and make films. And I think, really, really Earn 3 credits more info: pricie@csusiiLedu "So my idea is to have all these different artists I really love, from Imogen Heap to Paul Simon to Chris Martin, to write original songs that, in the movie, we'll pretend are her songs and then she'll sing them in the movie. On the soundtrack, the artist who wrote the song will sing the song they wrote. That's my rough concept of an idea and I'm going to see if I can get people to do that." As far as music, Braff is currently into Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson. "I think everyone should go on MySpace. There's this girl Schuyler Fisk. She doesn't have an album out, but you can hear her on MySpace. She is incredible. I think that she's going to be a big talent." And speaking of Myspace, Braff said, "I really love the MySpace thing. For me, it's such a cool invention that you can have a dialogue with your fans."

Anyone with a video camera can go out there and make a video and put it on YouTube. What sets the certain ones apart is someone took the time and wrote a really good script." Although Braff frequently chooses the music for "Scrubs,'* and has won a Grammy for his selection of music for "Garden State," and has directed three music videos, Braff said, "I really don't know anything about music, other than I know what I like. If I can be a catalyst for some amazing musician to help get exposure then I feel honored. I'm sure you've seen an artist in any art form that you love, and you j ust can't believe that no one knows about them." Braff is looking forward to directing "Open Hearts," a dark drama. His excitement for "Open Heart's" soundtrack is already bubbling up. "The lead girl in the ; movie is an aspiring singer," Braff said. m ' I Ä ' JJ . Write for The Pride!

I want to say thanks for doing such an Farewell from the Editor In Chief: David Gatley First off, I had no idea I was graduating at &e onset. of this semester. ; After one spends six years in college the light at the end of the tunnel looks more like a microscopfc, translucent, blurry, mirage more than anything else; seriously, no exaggeration whatsoever. Looking back it occurs to me that this little publication we call The Pride is hard to define. The lack of a college of Journalism and the prevalence of Uterature^id Writing studetrts t end^f make Hie Pride m f e a i^gasa^r and creative writing forum than a being 3^>u {tfa^ to unite the entire campus community and forever capture the spirit of being young. They also let you print stories about sex, alcohol, drugs, rebellion, rock and roll, abortion and anything else controversial, underground and altogether morally sound and righteously awesome ;) ei In all seriousness however, I've been lucky enough to utilize The Pride as a voice of the students, at least those who spoke U p, to take on ««^trovdrsy and concàii ; on campus such as the new Stu* dent Conduct Policy and issues like PedesWan Safety R's real^ reffeshingfÉr s ^ a mwJIiun such newspaper.

BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, May 3, during university hour, the library courtyard was rocked with the sounds of Afro-Cuban drum and music. Paul Huggins, a musician and educator at Yale University since 1969 who has played A froCuban drums for five decades, performed with Agogo, the resident drum and dance ensemble of Palomar College. A fter singing, performers Silfredo La O Vigo and Patrice-ann Mead showed off their dancing skills, while the drum ensemble laid down some contagious beats. Dozens of students gathered to hear the distinctive drum songs and to watch the high-energy dancing. Performers played congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments including a box-shaped drum. They played all during university hour, which is quite a feat considering some drum players played with only their bare hands. As a former percussionist, I can attest that this is truly amazing. Even playing for Photo by Kim Anderson / The Pride Cai State San Marcos students while 10 minutes can make an average drummer's hands numb from all of that drum slapping. At the end, the band had interested students come up and learn how to meringue. Students' skill levels varied from the very beginning stages to those who clearly were not dancing for their first time. It was amazing to see how much f un it was for students to learn and dance. The instructors were both very skillful dancers whose infectious attitudes made learning dancing a joy, and for us observers, entertaining to watch. "It's Beer. Hooray Beer." If you have not already guessed, this week's Beer of the week is Red Stripe. Not only is Red Stripe brewed and bottled in Jamaica but the Ambassador of Jamaica is also the spokesman for Red Stripe. Obviously Jamaica is very proud of their beer, and they have the right to be. Red Stripe is not only a delicious brew, but it also complements Jamaican cuisine. I was digging through my refrigerator hoping to find a home cooked meal when my roommate mentioned he had discovered a new restaurant just down the street. I looked at him and said, "Let's Go." Next thing I know we are pulling up to Jamrock on the 101 in Encinitas. "Jamaican cuisine: this will be a first." But I was in store for much more. When we sat down the first thing I ordered was a Red Stripe. When the waitress returned with our beers in hand I was happy to see that these were no ordinary Red Stripes; these were at least 32 ounces of delicious beer. While I was enjoying the first couple sips of beer, the waitress filled us in on some of the history of Red Stripe. To my surprise Red Stripe is still brewed and bottled in Jamaica. A soda company brewed the first Red Stripe in 1928. Americans first discovered Red Stripe during World War II when some of our troops were sent to Jamaica. But it wasn't until the 1960s, when Jamaica became independent from Britain, that the company could go public and really start producing beer. I enjoyed my Red Stripe with and Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich. It was delicious, and washing it down with Red Stripe finished it off perfectly. "It's beer. Hooray beer."

This time they face what may be their most challenging task yet - finding a new King for Far Far Away after King Harold (shall we pun?) croaks. (Well, he was a frog after all.) Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas return as the incomparable vocal cast. It all began in 1930 with the debut of a teen super-sleuth named Nancy Drew. Conceived by Edward Stratemeyer, whose brainchildren include such well-known favorites as the Bobbsey Twins and the Hardy Boys, the "Nancy Drew" series was published under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene though a number of writers actually worked on the series. In the soon-to-be-released film adaptation, Emma Roberts plays the winsome teen detective who relocates from the fictional town of River Heights to Hollywood, California, and promptly finds a mystery to solve.

T his summer shall b ring many good t hings: the San Diego County Fair, 4th of July celebrations, chlorinated and c affeinated p arties, r oad t rips galore, beach outings and yes, the t op five anticipated CD releases of the summer. I n my opinion, the five releases that w ill be the biggest sellers and receive the most h ype in t he coming weeks are Maroon 5 "It Wont' Be Soon Before Long," H anson " The Walk," Paul McCartney " Memory A lmost F ull," Enrique Iglesias "Insomniac," and R ufus Wainwright "Release t he Stars." W ho can argue with Maroon 5 's latest single, "Makes Me Wonder"? There is n o doubt about it t hat t he guys are back and back with an attitude, along with some seriously slick songs. It w on't b e long before t he album "It Won't Be Soon B efore Long," is in stores May 22. D are I say it—Hanson is m aking a comeback.

The panel was hosted by Liter ature and Writing Studies pro fessor Dr. Susie Lan Cassel Tuesday, May 14. The six guest panel speak ers were all contributed to a recently published collection of professional essays called "The Chinese in America: A His tory from Gold Mountain to the New Millennium." The book consists of 24 essays that survey 150 years of Chinese immigration to North Amer ica. "These essays contribute new knowledge about the Chi nese experience in America," Cassel said.

Accord-, ing to the Korea Herald, the shirts were pulled from stores a month ago after the Organi zation of Chinese Americans complained that the designs are racially insensitive. "After 150 years, how much has changed?" Cassel asked the audience. Preceding the slide show, panel members discussed the contributions they made to the book, their experiences, beliefs, accomplishments and current projects.

Many Cal State San Marcos' students attended, included those enrolled in Dr. Robin Keehn's Literature and Writing 525 class, which is geared toward the theory and practice of teaching college-level writing. CAPI isr a partnership between CSUSM and area high schools. The focus of this partner ship, effectively CAPI's mission statement, is "to strengthen the mathematics and English prep aration of college-bound highschool students." The conference was divided •between English workshops and and mathematics workshops. Both disciplines held workshops separately and the entire group only reconvened during lunch time. Dr. Dawn M. Formo, a CSUSM associate professor of Literature and Writing Studies and an associate CAPI director, said, "It's a way to strengthen the gap between middle schools to college." She added, "It's just another piece of that puzzle to- fill those gaps." The conference, which is held at least once every year, is dif ferent each time. Last year's con ference included students from three different levels of educa tion, but this time only faculty members from the middle and secondary schools were part of the conference, with student representation limited to under grad and graduate students of CSUSM. "For this conference, we invited faculty high school and we have now broadened it to middle school, community col leges and the UC, everyone in our service area.

Some students chose more personal publishing projects, like putting together a family cookbook. "Through Small Press, I met the not-for-profit world, and I like it* After graduation, I hope to work as a grant writer for a non profit organization," said Susie Shattuck, a Literature major who took the course for the second time. Small Press students have the option of taking the course for two semesters and a total of six credits. Literature 318, Small Press Publishing, is a practical course in developing, writing, soliciting copy for, editing, designing and printing a variety of publications (including journals, newsletters, and manuals) for print and the Web, according to 318's profes sor, Dr. Madeleine Marshall. "In my experience, realworld writing is very different from academic writing. It's always relational, usually col laborative, and generally highpressure. Academic writing is a gentler species, essentially per sonal, reflective, controlled. We do real-world writing in 318," Marshall said. "The rewards are different, too.

Many people have told us that the name is con fusing at first, but then after contemplation of it, they are pleasantly satisfied. The name a r t i s t i c [w] r i g h t [e] s combines both phonetic and visual representation in order to convey a dual meaning, much like the nature of the submis sions and context of the publi cation. It boils down to: artistic rights vs. artistic writes. Q: And, who are you? Do you have a background in this or did you just wake up one day and decide to create a maga zine? A: I [Pugh] am currently a Literature & Writing Studies major and a second semester senior here at CSUSM. I have always been interested in graphic design and layout. At Fallbrook High, I was into graphic design and completed the Regional Occupation Pro gram.

Maybe you persuade some body to care or to help or to enlist other people to care or to help," Marshall said. At the publications fair, stu dents and non-profit organiza tions mingled while looking over the final projects. "Small Press Publishing was , one of the most enjoyable and useful classes I took at the Uni versity. OK, it was a lot of work tQo! But I learned so much, including the practical skills of writing for different audiences, editing on the fly, and designing eye-catching layouts for publica tions. I also acquired less tangible abilities, such as how to help non profit organizations with their serious time, talent, and budget restrictions," Shattuck said. During the semester, guest specialists spoke on a variety of topics, including software options, font design, principles of layout and grant writing for non profit organizations. One such specialist was CSUSM alumnus, Roman Koenig, who spoke about "Design and the Real World," particularly in relation to his now defunct newspaper, The North County Current. Koenig began his design work as a student at CSUSM when he was editor of The Pride.

The Planning Design and Construction department is involved in this project and one of its visions is to be committed to managing and monitoring construction efforts in a timely and efficient manner. "There is one person devoted to the library construction budget," said Dr. Stephen Garcia, chief financial officer and Vice president for Finance and Administrative Services at CSUSM. The base bid for con struction costs is $34,781,000, according to Garcia. Two alter nate amounts for additions to the library have been added, which includes costs for extra reading rooms and balconies, resulting in a total approximate budget of $35,240,000 accord ing to Garcia. Cal State San Marcos receives the majority of its fund ing from the State of California, not to mention a minimal por tion that comes from donations. The state has already paid approximately $13,861,000 and further payments are commit ted to Morley Construction, as each separate phase is com pleted, according to Garcia. The budget also includes a contingency budget for unfore seen emergencies and issues that might occur. "We have always maintained an adequate contin gency and are not over spent by any means," said Garcia. "The budget is monitored very closely. We try not to put ourselves in the position to overspend." Like any construction proj ect, obstacles have arisen, but they have been minimal. "There were concerns with the final design and details related to the structural framework, which will require a little more time," said Dave Dennis, assistant director of construction. According to the Library March 2002 update, "the project is considered eight weeks behind schedule because of the delays to structural steel related to the final resolution of the seismic peer review com ments. Options to improve the schedule are being assessed and may include Saturday work for field erection." As a result, the scheduled construction comple tion date is July of 2003, having originally been slated for com pletion in May of 2003. The scheduled opening date "has not been changed and is still within the schedule timeline," Dennis said.

ACE presented its findings on college students last week in a report entitled, 'Access & Per sistence." ACE based its report on sev eral federal research projects tracking students for the past decade. The study differs from previous information-gathering studies, because it takes "student persistence" into account by fol lowing the roughly 20 percent of students who transfer from their original institution and complete their degrees elsewhere. Most students, who leave college for financial, personal, or educa tional reasons, return sometime in the following six years. Those who stay enrolled at the school where they began and earn a degree within five years make up less than half of students. Other research findings from the ACE study: —Traditional students who come straight from high school and attend full-time, with their parents paying tuition costs, make up 40 percent of under graduates. — College students are diverse: 55 percent are women, 30 percent are minorities and 20 percent are foreign-born or children of immigrants. Students who grew up speaking a lan guage other than English make up li percent. — challenging high-school A curriculum increases a student's likelihood of attending college, as does having parents* with higher levels of education. —Regardless of family back ground, employment prospects for those who earn four-year degrees are about the same. The extra time most students are taking to graduate may limit the enrollment of new, incom ing students. Many colleges have responded to slower graduation rates by offering more counsel ing and tuition discounts. News Briefs Compiled by CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor Today at 10 a.m. on Lot "O," the groundbreaking celebration for student housing took place. The $28-million project will house 460 students, with additional accommodations for resident assis tants, faculty and a facility manager. Each unit is built as an apartment, with its own dining area and kitchen and between 1,000 and 1,100 square feet. Each building has community meeting rooms and lounge areas. Each room will have high-speed Internet connections, and each unit will have a telephone and cable television. There will also be a commons building with a classroom, a student lounge with a catering kitchen and an outdoor amphitheatre. The project is scheduled for completion and occupancy in Fall 2003. Three Cal State San Marcos students won top honors at the 16th annual California State Uni versity Student Research Competition, hosted May 3 and 4 by CSU Long Beach. More than 150 students from 22 campuses participated. Kathleen Warmoth, a second-year graduate student in psy chology, took first place among graduate- students in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (Psychology) category for her research project titled "Potential role for NMDA receptors in opiate induced behavioral plasticity." Ian Mendez placed second in the same category as Warmoth with his project, "The NMDA receptor antagonist MK-uOl inhibits tolerance to morphine-induced analgesia." Mendez is in his first year of the psychology master's program. Chris Shriver, a senior, placed first among undergraduates in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (Psychology) category, for her research project titled "Implicit connections with nature." Shriver, who lives in Valley Center, has been working with faculty advisor Wesley Schultz, professor of psychology, to develop implicit measures for examining people's attitudes about the environment. The winners were recognized at a banquet in Long Beach on May 4 and Will receive cash awards at a later date. Cal State San Marcos Adjusts Summer Work Hours in order to save energy.

She was bom in Brooklyn, New York, and explained how sometimes people comment on how clear she speaks English (without an accent.) Dr. Yuan Yuan, depart ment chair of Literature and Writing at CSUSM, discussed how to get acupuncture into the mainstream. He firmly believes in Chinese medicine and also questioned "why Chinese food is called 'Chinese food,' not 'alternative food,' but 'Chinese medicine' is known as 'altemativemedicine.'" Curator of Chinese-American History at the San Diego Historical Society, Murray'Lee, discussed Ah Quin's Diary. Quin was a Chinese immi grant who worked as cook in 1877-1879 for coal miners in Alaska, then later moved to San Francisco in 1880 and worked as a servant and cook for U.S. military officers. Four years later, he moved to San Diego and became a recruiter for the railroads and, over time, became a wealthy entrepreneur. Cassel worked with Murray on transcribing Quin's diary. "Ah Quin broke every major stereo type," Cassel commented. Hosts Annual Conference P I IW[l Get to what's good; Drop in to your neighborhood Starbucks.

Fac ulty from middle and secondary schools, as well as university professors and students, were able to compare their responses in an effort to fill the educa tional gaps that exist in cur riculum. At the end of the conference, they were given a handout with the responses gathered during their discus sion, which will hopefully begin the process of filling those edu cational gaps.

Reed Chancellor The California State University 400 Golden Shore Long Beach, CA 90802-4275 Re: THE TRUTH Good Morning Chancellor Reed: As previously stated, I went to my alleged supervisor in late 1992, concerning a very serious problem in the warehouse. Without leaving his chair, and refusing eye contact, he denied there was a problem, I repeatedly went to him for help with this very serious problem and he repeatedly denied (always without eye contact), that there was a problem as the problem grew worse. I went to other management-type staff members and without a full investigation, they also denied that the problem existed, as said problem increased. Each denial implied that I was lying, Chancellor Reed. I feel now is the time to find out who is and who isn't lying. Therefore, I respectfully request that you arrange a group polygraph exam for each of us involved in this very preventable brouhaha. Said exam to be given at the Escondido Center for the Arts, with the public and especially the video press invited, also as many non-management staff members as can be released. There will be no back-stabbing as was done to me on 8/17/92. No sucker punches as was given to me on a daily basis starting on 8/20/92 to present, until I was given them to myself. No, Chancellor Reed, the questions have already been asked, the facts (ie - the truth) have already been stated and denied. Now let the POLYGRAPH DECIDE. My alleged supervisor, in late 1992, ordered me to make a list. In other words, spy on another employee. This list will not be a few items, Chancellor Reed, nor a few dozen, but rather hundreds of items to which I will attest under full polygraph exam, in full public view. I would like to put closure to this very preventable brouhaha and at the same time get my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), caused by work-related stress, under control, and look forward to working with you on the same.

APSS is a newly charted group on this campus that chose to introduce itself to the campus community in style - literally. On Wednesday, APSS held a fashion show and art expo in the mezzanine level of the Cal State San Marcos Uni versity campus, which displayed fashions influenced by different cultures within the Asian com munity, as well as a few noted fash ions from the African commu nity. This was a fun-filled event equipped with friendly gimmicks for crowd participation, includ ing prizes and giveaways. The prizes ranged from three pairs of AMC movie tickets, golf.balls and flashlights, to red roses with silk thongs wrapped around the stems. The fashion shows featured original dress designs from tradi tional Korean Dress, Philippine Dress, and Chinese traditional style, exposing the campus com munity to the different flavor of Asian history and culture through style. And the message was well received. The beauty of the tra ditional garment styles was over whelming, but they did not stop there. In the second half of the show, APSS featured a new Asian-American female clothing designer, whose designs are known as Tuff Girl. Tuff Girl sashayed her sexy street designs, like basic Capris, or chino-style pants with lace and eccentric pat terns. "What is fashion without entertainment?" I thought, And boy, was I in for a delightful surprise. Aside from the groovy sounds of DJ Marlino and DJ Showtime, from Just 4 Fun Entertainment, mastering the melodic sounds in the back- COMMENTARY ground, making heads bob from right to left, the audience was entertained by guest vocalist Leslie Roister, who is a senior at Chula Vista High School. When asked about her aspi rations, Roister said, "Whitney Houston and the late Aaliyah Houghton inspire me to want to sing. I have been singing since I was three and it is the only thing that I have ever wanted to do since." Spoken like a true star. Also in attendance was Evolution, a dance team from the UC Riv erside Chinese Student Asso ciation, and Down Low, a local hip-hop band that has recently been awarded the San Diego Music Award for the best hip-hop band in San Diego. W a i t . .. t h e r e 's m ore...Weekend anchor, Lee Ann Kim from San Diego KGTV Channel 10 News was the key note speaker. Her speech addressed the elements of selfawareness, cultural responsibility, selflove, culture appreci ation, and lastly, the need for increased motivation in self and culture. Kim waited after her speech to discuss internships being offered by her network and answered any questions students had about journalism, c om mu nic at ion s, and/or media in general. "I left feeling really encouraged, because she told it like it is. She is so real," said Chris Strong, a junior majoring in Liberal Stud ies. When asked why one should celebrate Asian History Month, Kim said, "Asian Americans cel ebrate to find themselves and learn more about self. Self-aware ness is crucial to the development Asian Pacific Student Society Models Display Traditional Clothing Photo courtesy o f Cathy Nguyen and strength of our community. Also, self-awareness [helps one] define who they are. Lastly, cel ebrating Asian History Month makes others aware of the many different cultures and languages within the Asian American com munity." This was APSS's first event on our campus. "The Asian Pacific Student Society (APSS) is a cultural organization at Cal State San Marcos. The purpose of APSS is to promote Asian Pacific American awareness, unity and diversity among the entire stu dent body. APSS is a voice in which students of all ethnicity and creeds may express their views, thoughts, and ideas about any matter pertaining to the stu dents at CSUSM," said James Nguyen, president of APSS.

"ICONS--Naughty By Nature" By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer In the early 90'S, Naughty By Nature had party people everywhere chanting "OPP" and waving their hands in the air to "Hip Hop Hooray." Presently, these party rockers are back with* their latest album release to define what it means to be "ICONS." Naughty By Nature, which consists of Treach and Vinnie, continue to utilize their partyjam formula, with a 14-track CD that not only represents their tra ditional music styles, but also demonstrates their ability to be versatile along with the added influences they've acquired over the years, making this album worth a listen. What you can expect from this album are several head bobbing party anthems, like their debut single "It Feels Good," which features 3LW and their current single, "What You Gonna Do" featuring Pink. In addition, with cameo appearances by Redman, Method Man, Queen Latifah, Lil Jon, Carl Thomas, and more, this album allows you to explore a twisted collaboration of hip hop smoothed out on an R&B tip with a dirty south bounce appeal to it. Some highlights to take note of are "What You Wanna Do," featuring Pink, "Swing Swang," and "Red Light" featuring Queen Latifah. Remember, Naughty By Nature is no stranger to the music game. They've survived hip hop's dishon orable stereotypes for short-lived careers, big singles, and one-hit wonders by producing over six chart-topping party anthems over a decade-long period, which helped mark and shape hip hop at the floor front. Thus, this album is no excep tion and will prove that they are truly "ICONS": a person or thing that is uncritically adored, revered or admired, or is regarded as a symbol of a particular cul ture or sphere, an idol.

My primary basis for making this claim is the FACT, that Cal State San Marcos' one and only instructor of German language courses, Frau Ronke (her first name is Astrid; Frau is how German stu dents would traditionally address a female instructor), was being let go in a most disrespectful, discourteous, and highly unpro fessional manner. She is being replaced. And while that, in and of itself, is a situation worthy of public outcry (because she is commonly thought of by her stu dents as an outstanding and inspi rational instructor) it was not the main reason I was upset enough to write an article about it. What I was most annoyed by was the unprofessional manner with which she is being let go. (..J feel like I'm going to have to explain the situation all over again to make people under stand - which sucks because I hate to repeat myself - but unfor tunately it seems that's what I'm going to have to do because it seems some people still just don't get it...) This is how it went down . . . I was sitting in my German 102 class one day shortly after the Summer/Fall 2002 schedules came out. It was a few minutes until class was supposed to start* Frau Ronke was getting herself organized at the table up front. A student walked in with aforesaid schedule in hand and basically asked Ronke who was the person that was listed in the schedule as being the German instructor for fall, because it was the only name listed as teaching the two German classes offered in the fall. The name of the person listed as teaching German next semes ter is,Hughes. Ronke had no idea who Hughes was (FACT.) No one from the World Languages Dept, (read: her supervisors) had talked to her about being replaced by anyone named Hughes (FACT and until yesterday, May 15, there had still been no official contact with Ronke on this issue from CSUSM's Dept, of World Languages.) Instead, she learned this sensitive information (I'll wager that losing your job is a sensitive subject with most folks) from her students. How @#$%ed up is that? Please, just stop for a second and consider this. CSUSM class schedules are not developed arid printed overnight. From the time the course schedule planners start planning away our future classes, it takes weeks of planning and revisions (I'm assuming this based on how slowly most large bureaucracies typically function), not to mention the completion of the printing and shipping pro cesses, before those schedules are available to us in the student store. What this all means with regard to Ronke's situation is that her supervisors in the Dept, of World Languages must have known, for a significant amount of time, that they had already decided to replace her with this Hughes person, and they simply chose not to tell her about it. In other words, Ronke got DISSED (I use, DISSED, instead of disre spected, intentionally because I feel the latter word is too polite and doesn't adequately convey the true level of, for lack of a better word, disrespect involved). Although it's apecdotal infor mation, it's a FACT that every, person I've talked with about this situation agrees that Ronke got brutally DISSED. Those same people also agree that regardless of the FACT that she's being canned, there's a certain way people should be treated in pro fessional working relationships. If someone is going to be let go from a job, however ill-advised that dismissal may be, it is a generally accepted aspect of the unwritten social contract of civ ilized conduct that we all are obliged to adhere to, that this soon-to-be-unemployed person should be notified beforehand by their employer as soon as that employer knows for sure that they are going to fire that person. Nobody told Ronke what was in store for her. And still, to this day, there has been no official com munication with Ronke about her impending release. Unless one counts having the humilia tion of Ronke's dismissal being announced to her entire class of students out of the course sched ule as official communication. If one can accept that, then there's really very little for me to pro test. But, public sentiment tells me otherwise. Public sentiment tells me to protest this injustice. Public sentiment agrees that what has happened is unacceptable. But apparently there is a small minority of people who still don't understand this simple truth and who still, simply, just don't get it. Professor Stella T. Clark has distinguished herself as one of these people. In last week's edi tion of The Pride, Prof. Clark wrote a rebuttal.that seemed to be directed toward my earlier opinion piece, German Instruc tor (and students) DISSED. But I can't be exactly sure because she didn't address my piece spe cifically. Instead she wrote, "...I must express my disappointment at The Pride's publication and placement of two recent pieces regarding the Dept, of World Languages and Hispanic Litera tures." She went on to say, "...I do not wish to respond to the indi Just D o n ' t G et vidual pieces but merely to point out a few facts, especially for your student readers:" Then, like an ardent defender of the status quo, Clark spent four paragraphs regurgitating the institutional policy regarding what kind of degree one needs to have, to attain a tenured position in the Dept, of World Languages (Ph.D.) and that the reason such a degree is required by the Dept, of World Languages is because its "..par amount concern [is] the highest quality education for our stu dents" (Ronke only has a master's - but is going to be working on earning her Ph.D. this summer in Germany). Apparently, instruc tors with Ph.D.s offer a higher quality education to their stu dents because, "...unlike adjunct faculty* [they] are consistently and systematically reviewed by peers on their teaching, plus their scholarship, research and/or cre ative activity, and service to the university and the community." OOOOHHH, OK, now I get it. So, let me get this straight, we're firing Ronke because she doesn't have a Ph D, right? Right. And we're hiring a PhD. to replace her, right? Right. OK, so far I'm trackin'. But wait, I must be a little slow because I can't seem to understand how this offi-. cial policy-based justification of Ronke's release makes any sense when one considers that the Dept, of World Languages is planning to allow T.A.s (read: grad stu dents) to teach lower-level Span ish courses next Fall (FACT public knowledge); especially in light of the fact that next semester the only German classes being offered are 101 & 20L Maybe I don't understand this because my brain isn't getting enough oxygen. Maybe my brain isn't getting enough oxygen because I'm drowning in the hypocrisy disseminated by Prof. Clark and the Dept, of World Languages. Please, someone, throw me a life preserver! I would not object to Ronke's being let go if the Dept.'s selfproclaimed policy of being dedi cated to hiring Ph.D.s was strictly adhered to. Obviously that is a policy that is adhered to only when it suits the Dept, of World Languages. BUT! Regardless of this hypocrisy, inequity and injustice, Prof. Clark's rebuttal still com pletely failed to address the crit ical element of this fiasco. That being, why wasn't Ronke noti fied of her impending dismissal through official channels? I hate to use this word, but what has been done to Ronke is truly scan dalous. Clark objected to these two opinion pieces because in her opinion, these two pieces (if someone knows the other recent opinion piece she's ^referring to, please, let me know) were placed in The Pride to facilitate, "..the dissemination of gossip and insulting remarks." Yet, she doesn't see fit to point out exactly what language in either of these two pieces should be considered gossip and/or insulting remarks. If my telling of the truth hurts someone's feelings, or if my tell ing the truth is deemed by some one as gossip-mongering, or if someone feels insulted by the truth I've told, then they should speak up and tell everyone at CSUSM exactly what was said in my article that was not true, what was gossip, and/or what was insulting. By failing to document the basis of her grievances, Prof. Clark has engaged in "poor jour nalistic practices," has failed to best serve her own interests in establishing the validity 6f her assertions, or the best interests of readers of The Pride. Fur thermore, I feel her refusal to openly challenge anyone specifi cally is unseemly and smacks of condescension. Condescension, because, by not acknowledging whom she's directing her retort toward, she implies that the indi viduals who wrote the opinion pieces she's rebutting are not worthy of her esteemed recog nition. Apparently, the. opinions of a professor inherently carry more weight than those of obvi ously misinformed students (who only saw Ronke get DISSED with their own eyes) and so don't need to be supported by sound, "jour nalistic practices," as Prof. Clark herself likes to say. Indeed, Prof. Clark is so adatnant that The Pride adhere to strictly sound journalistic prac tices that she said, "The opinion page is a forum for the paper's views but I assume that the latter are founded on a thoughtful, fair process based on facts and research." Actually, this would be an incorrect assumption. The opinion page is a forum for the views of the readers of The Pride, and to a lesser extent, its staff. It is also incorrect of Prof. Clark to assume that sound "journalistic practices" (i.e., researching what is being written about) are neces sary to any piece submitted to the opinion page of The Pride. That's why it's called an opinion page. Prof. Clark went on to decry the"... poor journalistic practices of your (read: The Pride' ) writ s ers. More importantly, as the paper of the university where I have taught since it opened to students, [I hope] that The Pride will stay true to its name and set a better example as to what it means to exercise free speech responsibly and judiciously." , For the record, I am not a writer for The Pride on a regular basis. Even if I were, though, it would be absurd of Prof. Clark to assert that what I've said is not true, and that what I've said is merely gossip and baseless It insults, if she wasn't prepared to offer up her own contrary facts that spoke to the main point of the matter. Secondly, Prof. Clark's rebuttal was a baseless, toothless, and largely irrelevant attempt to defend the indefensible wrong that has been committed against Ronke. She attempted to do this by distracting readers of The Pride by skirting around the main issue (the FACT that not one of her supervisors ever told Ronke she was being replaced), and only attempted to deal with the secondary issue of Ronke's dismissal by hiding behind some policy that reveals itself to be hypocritical upon closer scrutiny (as in the FACT that T.A.S will teach lower-level Spanish next Fall). So please Prof. Clark, tell us, how can you advocate that The Pride exercise free speech more responsibly and judiciously when you yourself haven't writ ten a Very responsible and judi cious opinion piece? The students forced to suffer the whims of the Dept, of World Languages may not have Ph.D.s, hut we are not fools who can be so easily hoodwinked by nonsensical patronizing dogma like the letter that was submitted by Prof.- Clark. We can read between the lines. We can rec ognize bureaucratic doublespeak when we see it. When we ask, "Why wasn't Ronke notified of her impending dismissal?" and all we get in response is something akin to what Prof. Clark wrote, which doesn't even attempt to answer that very important question, immediately we smell something rotten in the state of the Dept, of World Languages. As long as the supervisors of the Dept, of* World Languages insist on not being completely honest with the students of CSUSM and Ronke, I'll continue to harbor just as much contempt for them as they've demonstrated towards Ronke, her students, and all the students of CSUSM. If this means I won't be able to take German and Spanish classes here any more, then so be it. The amount of courses offered in these spe cialties is an insult to the students of CSUSM, anyway. Before you leave for sumirier, if you're so inclined, please feel free to tell me how right or wrong I am by-sending an email to, email@example.com. Also, if you've ever taken German with Frau Ronke and you see her walk ing by, let her know she's got your moral support. I know she'll appreciate it, as will all the stu dents in her German classes.

It's been a long, strange ride. Taking Initiative: CSUSM Students Will Go Far By AMANDA WOLFE For The Pride Today was an amazing day. I realized for the first time, I mean really realized, like down to my toes, that one person CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Now, of course, like every one of you I have heard this saying many times before. I have heard it from primary school teachers, history books, counselors and the pro fessors at this university, but not until today has it meant so much to ine. Today it rang clear in my world that people who put their minds toward a purpose CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I went ,to the Environmental Club meeting this afternoon, the last meeting of the semester, my last meeting. I will be graduat ing this semester. Today, we got a report from a girl who had come to the club meeting a couple of weeks ago to ask for advice in solving a problem she had with her work. When she came in she was still in shock from her last work experience, relaying to us that the bar where she worked did not recycle. In fact, they had discouraged her from recycling when she made a personal effort. We, just being students, did not know the quick and easy answer to her problem. Obviously, she did not want to lose her job over the matter, but the dissidence in her mind was growing. We all sat together and talked the issue over, trying to find some possible solutions. We deduced it down to a simple point of reason that if all of the employees felt that it was important that the company recy cled, the employees as a whole, could pressure the company to do so. We promised to support her in any way we could with infor mation from some of our class reports. She was grateful, and said she would keep us updated. Two weeks later, she told one of our members that the staff was in agreement that the com pany should recycle, and they collectively chose a representa tive to speak at the next mana gerial meeting, and he would not take no for an answer. This was an inspiring moment for me. You never know what people are really capable of doing until they step up to the plate. This young girl, only a sophomore, has already proven herself to be an advocate for common sense. The Environ mental Club would like to take their hats off to Jessica Marroquin for her initiative. As the former president and CEO of a company in which I was a major stockholder, my perspec tive on the controversy surround ing the dismissal / departure of Frau Ronke from her teaching position at Cal State San Marcos is different from the average stu dent's. I was very supportive of the establishment of a state uni versity in the North San Diego County and pleased when it finally received approval. I am taking my third semes ter of German through the Open University program for people over 65. These are the first lan guage courses I've taken since high school, 55 years ago, and my first college courses in about 40 years. In general, my expe rience has been a very positive one. I have found my instructor, Astrid Ronke, to be enthusiastic in her presentation of the class work, and the students in my class to be responsive to her. It's my understanding that many of the students in the first two semesters were taking the classes to fulfill a mandatory lan guage requirement. That still did not seem to result in a lack of interest in our class, and I believe that was due largely to Ms. Ronke's stimulus, in the way she involved students in the course work and in the extracurricular activities of the German Club. As a former company executive, I must agree that any company and in this case, the communication with employees and for supervisory personnel to keep everyone 'in the loop' as to what is going on in the organiza- of 2002. The fact that she found the information out in a class room from.Qile of her students, who looked at a published class schedule, is completely unac ceptable by any personnel man agement standards and is a sad reflection on the language department, its supervisory personnel and the entire administrative staff of the university. There is no excuse for such behavior on the part of people who are employed to educate the young people of our community. Letter to the Editor university, must have standards, which are used to hire and retain personnel. However, I also know that it is important to hire and retain capable people and often those who are most capable are not always those with "creden tials."

Beginning its third official season in Septem ber, the team has high hopes. "We took third last year and this year we're hoping to take it all," said Coach Khalid AlShafie. The team had a record of 5-5-1 last year and is hoping that this year its record will improve. According to coach AlShafie, "We'd like to have at least 18-20 players this year." When asked what they're looking for in players, Antonio Zepeda Jr, founder of the club, said. "Expe rience."^Coach Al-Shafie added, "We're looking for a high level of experience. Hopefully club level or even college level." One thing that was added as a necessity for the new players was, "Disci pline." The team is looking to play a minimum of 12 games for the upcoming season, and is hoping for at least eight of the games to be at home. The team practices on Fri days from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. with the next three practices con sisting of tryouts. "We want to see what [the newcomers] are made of. It'll give us a chance to see the skill level," said coach AlShafie. The team will continue to practice on Friday throughout the summer, with an additional day of practice still undecided. The team has six seniors who will be graduating next year. Once they graduate, the new comers to the team will have to keep the team solid for the coming years. The team, now a club, will hopefully become an official "sport" soon. With the building of The Clark Field House, the team will have the proper facilities and by then, they hope to have the commitment of the college. For more information, con tact the Associated Student Inc. office, Commons 203, or call 760-750-4990. Also, students interested in joining can call or contact either coach Al-Shafie at 760-758-1580 or email Antonio Zepeda Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com.

You know, in that way Everyone is a geek BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Everyone loves being pleased. Every time it happens, it's like your birthday. Someone is taking time out of their day and their personal lust for physical gratification so that you can get your jollies off. And it might include cake and ice cream when it's all over, so technically, you both win. Know when I say "pleasing" your partner, I mean pleasing them in terms that may not include intercourse in any way. This can include outercourse, emotional pleasing, or j ust simply being happy together. I am sure all of us out there want to please our partners because (it's true) we love them. We love them and we want them to get the most out of our sexual experiences. Whether we want to get down and start pleasing our men/women remember that you are in love. If you are not in love and just there for the ride, then you're either a horrible person or in d enial. But n onetheless, whether you love the person you're with or not, remember that this form of outercourse might as well be just as serious as intercourse and the necessary safety precautions should be taken. But according to a friend that I know very well, the one thing all of you need to remember, no matter your sex or your partner's, remember this sequence: clockwise for 20 seconds, counter clockwise 10 seconds, left, right, left, right, and clockwise for 10 seconds. If this doesn't work, don't blame me, it sounded legitimate (plus he has credentials, he's a psychology major). But then again, if you really want to use this logic of love making, you might as well follow the Contra code (anybody else remember it? Up, up, down, down, l eft, right, left, right, B, A, START). I apologize if I offend anyone, but everyone is a geek. Society has dragged this term through the mud and made it into an insult. Being a geek is simply being passionate about something. No matter the person, everyone is a geek. I am a geek about movies, especially zombieflicks,Westerns, and sci-fi. I enjoy all video games from shooters, to strategy, to role-playing. I will even admit that I still dabble in Pokémon, because it is a great game. Actually, Pokémon is very similar to fantast football or basketball brackets considering the strategy and tactics involved. My passion for these things makes me a geek. In high school, I would have been ashamed, but now I am empowered by it. I do not care if people mock me, because these are what I like. Everybody gets their kicks off something, whether it is sports, "Star Trek," animals, "World of Warcraft," coffee, cars, or anything else, it is perfectly normal. It is abnormal to not be passionate about something. If you take abuse for what you love, my advice is do not stop. Never give up something you love because of what someone else says. Ignore those who put you down, because if they get in the way of your passions, they do not care about you. On the other hand, control your passion. Do not force it on other people. Just because you like something, you do not have the authority to make others like it. Introduce them with small doses. Even too much for you can be self-destructive. If you enjoy knocking others because they enjoy something "geeky," look at yourself. You are not so different. Think about what your passions. Just because society deems what you like "cool," you are still a geek. In the end, you are going to be alone. Whether you have developed a love of sports statistics or action figures, embrace what you do. Being a geek is nothing to make fun of, because every single person reallya geek. And that is a good thing. The division of addition and illegal aliens BY BLAINE H MOGIL Pride Staff Writer Through the addition of immigrants seeking a better life, we have become a nation of division. There no longer remains a singular us, but a divided us and them. Some divisions hide below the surface, while others stand tall, reaching out across hundreds of miles of desert, separating us from our friends and neighbors in Mexico. Our nation is losing her way and her moral compass in need of repair. Our nation today is one obsessed with political correctness. We live in a time where we so fear offending others that we separate and insulate ourselves. In the process, honest communication is lost. Together, we must revive honest and open communication in order to reunite and reconnect. While we avoid the offensive labeling of others with derogatory nomenclature out of political correctness, we have at the same time ironically adopted the use of the highly offensive word "alien" to describe immigrants. In the process we have created the great chasm of us and them by burning the bridge that connects us. It is time for us to openly agree to disagree with each other, return to communicating honestly with one another, and together find ways to peacefully coexist. This will illuminate the path back to a united us. The United States of America is a country that many people consider the greatest on earth. This honor can only be earned through deeds, and not through hollow claims of greatness. As a nation, we have forgotten our history. We have forgotten who we are and where we have come from. We have forgotten what, at the very heart, makes our nation great. It is the immigrant. We are all immigrants. Every last one of us is an immigrant. There is not one person living anywhere in North America, let alone within the confines of United States borders who does not owe their lives here to immigration. We implore the world to "bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses," with an engraved invitation on that most American symbol of freedom: the Statue of Liberty. Do we have the brazen audacity to forget the vital lessons of how, and by whom, this great nation was built? How dare we assume a political posture that somehow today immigrants are no longer worthy enough to live on this soil? How dare we see immigrants as some type of invasive foreign entity that will somehow destroy the very fabric of our society? How dare we label our fellow citizens of this small planet with the dehumanizing term of illegal "aliens?" We should be ashamed of ourselves for even thinking about people who have immigrated here in such a demeaning and derisive manner. The Native American Indians arrived here, by many accounts, across a bridge of ice from Asia over ten thousand years ago in search of a better life. The Viking Erik the Red led his people here over a thousand years ago in search of a better life. While searching for shorter trade routes to the Far East in search of exotic spices, Spain settled colonies here nearly five hundred years ago, with the Puritans following their lead a hundred years later. America has long brought together people from all walks of life, and added the richness of their cultures to the American melting pot. For hundreds of years mixing together the cultural spices of myriad cultures has created the great banquet of American society. Yet today we fear that by adding any more immigrants to this mix from south of the border will somehow throw this great banquet out of balance. This is an idea which is baseless, fallacious and ludicrous. The only thing more ridiculous is building a wall across our southern border to keep Mexican immigrants out. The wildly incredible claim that this wall will keep out terrorists and drug traffickers is simply a rouse. The wall is a monument built solely to placate a public that has been whipped into frenzy of fear by conservative talk show hosts. Terrorists and drug traffickers will find the wall no hindrance. If terrorists and drug traffickers want to circumvent the wall, they will continue to go over, under, around it. More likely they will find another way into our country as they prefer the path of least resistance. This 'Wall of Shame' is the only thing remotely as ignominious as calling our neighbors "aliens." Now is the time for us to abandon our status as an "Alien Nation" and reclaim our status as a nation of the world. To paraphrase President Reagan's Berlin speech, we as a nation need to come to understand, once again, the importance of freedom. We need to develop new policies of reform and openness." This can be the beginning of profound change here in the United States. But this change must be real, and not simply a series of token gestures intended to create false hope. I understand the fear of terror and the pain of division that afflicts this country. Please, President Obama, pledge that our country will overcome these burdens. As President Reagan said, "We believe that freedom and security go together." So President Obama, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the United States and North America, I say to you now President Obama, tear down this wall. As this symbolic and very real representation of the division between us is felled, so too will the division between us and those who seek a better life here in the United States fall. And then can the healing begin, and can hopes and dreams be rise from the ashes of bridges burned. �Viewpoint T HE P RIDE Tuesday, April 21, 2009 3 Classifieds Retired investment executive w/adv. degree in Mathematics and six years college math instruction exp. is avail, to tutor college level math courses.

"Pollen allergy, commonly An allergy reaction is the called hay fever, is one of the immune system's response to a false alarm, the immune system reads an allergen as a foreign containment in the body and thus begins to attack it and causes itchy eyes, a runny nose, and often coughing and sneezing. Researchers develop theories to determine the leading source that cause allergies, but a pin pointed reason remains unknown. Theories include that in modern living, homes are very 'clean and often have very little germs, thus this ultra clean environment never allows the immune system to adapt and learn how tofightoff airborne allergies because of the lack of exposure. The NIAID supported scientist's research that discovered a link between children whom grew up with one or two cats or dogs i n their home and their susceptibility to allergies. The study revealed that the children were less likely to develop allergies. The early exposure to the constant pet allergen may have been the contributing factor for an allergy free life. Another leading theory is heredity. "Children are more likely to develop allergies if one or both parents have allergies. In addition, exposure to allergens at times when the body's defenses are lowered or weakened, such as after a viral infection or during pregnancy, seems to contribute to developing allergies," according to the NIAID. In severe forms of allergies, asthma is often connected. The respiratory symptoms of asthma, which affect approximately 11 million Americans, are often provoked by airborne allergens, according to NIAID. So what is being done to help aid this epidemic? Many cleaning products are taking action against this more than common bother, by creating products that are allergen reducers, such as Fabreze® Fabric Refresher™. The allergen reducer claims to reduce more than 75 percent of pollen and dust mite allergens in fabrics.

The three-hour fair took place on University Hall Plaza. This cultural tradition was organized by University Global Affairs Committee and was sponsored by Co-Curricular Funding Award, Office of Global Education, ASI, SLL, LLC and Many Student Organizations The International Fair gives CSUSM students, friends, faculty, and staff the opportunity to come together and appreciate the many cultures that make our university. One of the most anticipated traditions of the International Fair is the free sample dishes from Europe, Latin America, Asia and many more. Every year, the German booth's popularity seems to increase. Senior CSUSM student, Jean Scheuneman says, "Every year we get 300 Rohwurst. We never know how many people are going to show up, but we just do the best we can and we get a lot of people from our club to help out." Aside from all the mouth-wa- tering food, the International Fair featured entertainment with performances by TAM TAM Mandingue, West African drummers, and Hip Hop group Soul Junkies.

The dialogue ranges with dramatic irony, as the female and male characters unveil the hardships we all face in gender roles. The play begins with a sensual bathtub scene andfiftybrides arriving in Italy as they have fled from their assigned marriages in Greece. The performer's versatile abilities portray the complexity of each character. Jason Gonzales (Giuliano), Cole Tran (Leo), Claudina E. Evans and Tiffany-Raven Peters (Eleanor), and Jessica Swan (Bella), shed moments of laugh-out-loud humor and inner giggles. The audience will surely not forget performances Hie CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts brought "Big Love" to our campus with a spark of dramatic flare and infectious enthusiasm last week with performances from April 15-19. As an audience spectator, I had no choice but to give some big love to all of the performers. Don't be fooled by the play's title. Big Love does not succumb to cliched Varieties of romantic bliss and the Disney version of everlasting courtship. Directed by Marcos Martinez and produced by Charles Mee, "Big Love" delves deeper into by the three leading ladies played by Kristine Fernandez and Patricia Bowen (Olympia), Krista Potocny and Jessica Ruiz-Bustos (Lydia), and Yolanda Catano (Thyona). The brides and the three grooms played by Jesus Moreno and Drew Quizon (Nikos), Mucio Vidales (Constantine), and David Edwards (Oed) showed excellent stamina as they pounded their fists in tantrums, rolled on the floor in emotional agony, and combined yelling with moments of passionate subtlety. To set the tone for the evening, the audience is greeted by two women in bright white bride dresses as an usher with black rings around his eyes will open the door for you to the Arts 111 auditorium. You may have even seen theseflayingbrides run around the International Fair this past Thursday. As I arranged myself to sit in the middle row, the enchanting and classic wedding music set the tone for a memorable on-campus experience. The eerie mood will creep into your mind, a mood not only set by the plot, but also by the performances of everybody on stage. The stage, withflowingbackground images of Italy's countryside, remains simple with a bathtub and cylindrical bars. The simple stage allows the performers to make drastic body move- ments and choreographed ballroom dance scenes. The most impressive aspect of the performance shined through in the delivery of personal speeches in which the performer talks upfront to the audience. These personal speeches combine sweeping philosophical statements with very human perspectives on love. A refreshing emphasis of characterto-audience dialogue can be seen in this "Big Love" quote, "For the sake of healing, for life to go on, there will be no justice." For the sake of appreciating great theater, I clap loudly and smile on my home down the Chavez stairs.

The company formed in 1997. Two years later, the brewery became a brewpub. The restaurant side of the company offers their brewed beer, southern and Cajun styled food, and live blues music. In 2002, they claimed to have become the first US microbrewery to can its own beer. Employees hand-can the beer inside a 60-year-old barn. BevMo retails six 12 fluid ounce cans for $8.99. Six cans are held together by a plastic harness. The l abeling f eatures a bright red, blue, white, and silver color. The can looks like an American flag. The can pressurizes a brew with a 6.5% alcohol by volume. BevMo also sells four other Oskar Blues Brewery beers. Dale's Pale Ale pours chunky forming a menacing one-inch thick head. The head resides momentarily before dissipating into a thin lancet of yummy. The brew radiates a rich golden amber hue* The bitter aroma rising from the glass indicates the heavy use of malts and hops. The common name and the simple guise of can-in-a-beer does not do the beer justice. The brew enters smooth before a ravishing Jason Statham flying round house kick double punch assaults all areas of the mouth. After the initial blow, the taste buds recuperate only to ask for more. The boldness and thickness of the beer should pair well with heavy dinners such as steak and potatoes with lots of dinner rolls. Avoid consuming the beer alone. Enjoy the brew with anything, such as chips or beef jerky, to truly enjoy the beer's courageous flavor. As the essay and exam dates stack up stay focused, but take a moment of relaxation and enjoy the tasty Dale's Pale Ale. Cheers! BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer In today's troubled economy, if any kind of restaurant has been undaunted and continues to grow, it's the süshi bar. Although popular food chains and local favorites are closing every day all over the county, sushi bars continue to sprout up everywhere. Why? It is because the appeal of the sushi bar is more than just good food; the experience is what makes it memorable and keeps people coming back. Not the fake, constructed experience that some places (coughBenihanascough) have, but somewhere where the employee is not paid to smile and does anyway. The atmosphere of a restaurant and the dedication of its employees to making great food and entertaining customers seem like a lost art. A place that represents this idea perfectly is the Love Boat sushi bar and Japanese restaurant located in the new Las Posas plaza in San Marcos. In the past, people would visit restaurants and bars because of the repertoire they had with the people who work there. As corny as it sounds, restaurant customers are more likely to come Vital Information C SUSM LANGUAGE S S S S LEARNING CENTER Free Language Tutoring Reference & Media Library Online & Center Resources ...And More! U.Hall 240 www.csusm.edu/llc Don 't wait until it's too late! back to the place "where everybody knows your name". With the expansion of modern-day chain restaurants, this kind of intimacy has been lost in most places, where communication is most of the time limited to a speaker box. What sets the Love Boat apart from other res^ taurants is the experience you have with the "bartenders," the friendly sushi chefs who greet everyone as they enter, make recommendations on the best food that day, and are more than willing to spread around f ree drinks for a special occasion. The Love Boat's menu is typical enough: a blend of traditional sashimi style entrée's, the fusion sushi rolls like the California, and a generous menu of meat, fish and vegetable combinations cooked in Japanese fashion. They offer all the imported Japanese beers and sake the Other sushi restaurants do. Asking around, it becomes apparent that most people who go there are not there for the authenticity. "It's really more of a hangout spot than a restaurant for me" says CSUSM junior Jason Reyna. "We come out here after school or work when my friends and I have had a rough day, and it (the restaurant) just has a great positive vibe to it. The place doesn't have the seriousness (about drinking) of a bar or the formalism of á typi- cal restaurant. We come for that middle ground." Don't get the idea that the Love Boat is only a place for partiers, though. The restaurant is just as much f un as a family environment as well, according to regular patron and local business owner Andy Wegner.

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor Thorn Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, and Phil Selway are arguably the gods of rock. Their alternative influence on modern music caught and kept worldwide attention since their first release over 16 years ago. I don't think I need to explain to you how awesome their music is. Radiohead is, after all, inexplicable. Aside from Radiohead clearly ruling their genre, the band is also on the forefront of utilizing green technology. Lead singer Thom Yorke's strides to raise awareness about global sustainability have brought about major change in the band's touring habits. In a 2008 interview with Treehugger magazine, Yorke criticizes the music industry's over-consumption of resources in order to make more tour dates while, in turn, bringing in more cash. Yorke, being the revolutionary he is, made Radiohead's 2008 In Rainbows tour the most eco-friendly tour of recent years. Liars, Radiohead's opening act, wrote about their touring experience in a blog on MySpace. "At the outset we were all given tour water flasks. Plastic anything is Photo courtesy ofmusicdealers.wordpress.com like contraband." Radiohead also decided to tour by bus rather than by plane because just a three-hour flight emits as much carbon dioxide as a Hummer would in a year. What's more, the buses and trucks used by the bands and crew ran on biofuel. Radiohead's merch website, waste.uk.com, revolves around western over-consumption. The merchandise producers do everything they can to make products that that have a minimal impact on the environment. The newest items are t-shirts for men and women made out of recycled plastic bottles and organic cotton. There are even some "unbranded" shirts for those of you who may not dig on Radiohead as much as you do on the planet. They also A neverending story BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Brian and I had found the canoe on the beach and decided to take it for a ride ouf onto the lake. We had been wading earlier and found that the water temperature was quite warm. It was almost like submerging into yourself, it was hard to tell if you were actually in the water. We had decided to go rowing out along the shoreline and see what was there. We rode along quietly with nothing more than a slight slushing of the paddles as they cut through the water, we surprised several animals who were basking along the edge of the lake. As we came around one bend, we came face to face with a large bull moose who was busy eating from the lush greenery at the water's edge. He immediately came to attention, alert to the danger we presented. Snorting his warning a couple times, he began to make a move to charge us. We had quickly and as quietly as possible, with as little movement as we could manage, come to a stop. A mere 5 to 10 feet separated us from the moose. The shear size of him was breath taking. Without conscious effort, I became aware of the sound of the insects and birds around us as well as the heat of the sun raising a prickly heat all over my skin. I almost swatted a mosquito that was gnawing at my forearm, when I realize the moose was watching my every movement intently. I whispered, "Paddle backwards very slowly." I made a very slow movement with the paddle, trying not to have the movement appear in any way threatening. Slowly the paddle moved forward through the water causing an imperceptible backward movement of the canoe. The heat seemed to rise as the moose's breathing caught mid-breath and he began to move his ears impatiently, his tail twitching side to side as his nervousness looked for an outlet. A second stroke of the paddle brought little more movement than the first. We seemed to be moving away by centimeters, more as a result of the wind and current than our paddling. A third and fourth stroke was giving us a slightly more perceptible movement, and just as I began to think we had successfully pulled it off, the moose charged. He covered the distance without any noticeable effort. Although his speed was breathtaking, time seemed to slow to the point of stopping. I watched the water give way to his feet, slowly spraying up into the air. I yelled and back paddled as hard as I could, but to no avail as the moose dipped his head, bringing his large rack to bear on the bow of the canoe. The canoe shuddered under offer a durable aluminum beverage container with the startling statistic "15 million plastic bottles of water are sold every year." The green attempts did not make the In Rainbows tour dull by any means. Brilliant, low-energy LED* lighting set the mood, and speaking out to publications like Treehugger and UK's The Guardian helped fans find more ecofriendly modes of transportation to concert venues. Radiohead's worldwide popularity can only serve to spread the word about musicians going green. Next time you take a plastic, single-use bottle to a show, consider what you could do to make Mother Earth love music even more. Popcorn storytelling the blow and launched upward into the air with apparent easy of a leaf being picked up by the wind. Brian and I were launched into the air and over the side as the canoe came to rest a short way from us. The moose seemed satisfied that he had dispensed the danger and turned to wander off into the woods. We swam to the canoe and after a brief inspection, realized it was not functional. We grabbed onto the debris and just floated along. The breeze was picking up and pushing us further away from the shore. It was also getting dark - rapidly. Here in the mountains, the sun seemed to almost switch off like a light switch. I could no longer tell which way the shore was. The warm water was as comforting as a warm snuggly blanket and I began to doze off. I began to listen to the rush of blood through my ears. My mind began to hallucinate, losing its grip on reality. It was telling me that everything was ok and I should relax and let go. I drifted down into the quiet warm darkness. I never felt so safe and secure. I felt no separation between myself and the outer world, I was one with the universe. My mind let go of everything and drifted off into the welcoming arms of eternity. great but the music is pedestrian, and forgettable.

The film broadly examines Tuesday is Earth Day and coin- Image courtesy ofDreamworks Pictures nature and highlights families of polar bears, elephants, and humpback whales. James Earl Jones lends his voice to the narration. It should make for exciting and compelling viewing on Earth Day and through the weekend. The rest of this week's bundle of films comes out on Friday, and like "Earth," they have self-explanatory titles. Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx team up for "The Soloist." The film, inspired by a true story, features Foxx as a homeless man with an incredible gift of music, and Downey as the struggling writer who discovers him. This pairing of great actors should make for a very inspirational film, if it avoids patronizing the audience with schmaltzy Word(s) THE PRIDE Image courtesy ofDisney moments. If director Joe Wright emphasized drama and conflict over cheesy bits, "The Soloist" will be a great teaijerker. I do not have the same hope for the other twofilmsin wide release this week. First, Channing Tatum stars in a movie called "Fighting." As one might expect in afilmcalled "Fighting," the movie is about Tatumfightingseveral people. The title "Fighting," redly puts me off this flick. If the creative minds behind this film cannot come up with a better name for a film aboutfighting,I do not expect a decent plot or character development. If one wants a good movie aboutfighting,check out some clas- sic Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan films, because they have good stories, and both men are actual fighters. I also do not have hope for "Obsessed." The story is simple. A husband and wife have a perfect life and then another woman comes in a throws everything out of control. The conflict is the wife versus the new secretary. I will not be seeing "Obsessed" any time soon. It stars Beyonce Knowles, who is a name more than an actress, the story looksflat,and the market campaign make this film look like soft core pornography. "Obsessed" is an amalgamation of other, better, domestic conflict films. Y ou p edal a b ike; b rake p edal on a c ar; p eddle is t o s ell y our w ares as a s alesman.

The basketball studentathlete Jacob Andersson reveals what made his stint at CSUSM noteworthy. When asked how his experience has been while at CSUSM, Andersson had nothing to complain about. "Overall it's been a great experience," said Andersson. "As far as basketball, my two years here both had bumps throughout the season, but we've always manage to figure things out. Overall it's all positive." Andersson discloses his most memorable moment came during the final game of his 2014 season. "It was really bittersweet, but in the fourth quarter we had the greatest comeback that I've seen or been a part of," Andersson said. "That personified the whole team of that year because everybody was really dedicated and hard working. Everybody really had each other's back, so even though we ended up losing the game in overtime; that was a feat that I 'm not going to forget in a long time." It is interesting to note that Andersson's first sport was Patchen enhances skills not basketball even though his father was a part of Sweden's first basketball league. He started off playing sports like ice hockey and soccer. And when he tells you why he switched from ice hockey to basketball, there was a logical reason behind it. "I never really started playing basketball and he [his father] was not trying to push me to play basketball," said Andersson. "I played hockey until I was 15. I was more talented in basketball than I was in hockey and basketball was a better experience to be around as a team with players and friends. I think that was a big factor for me." The time is near for Andersson to take the next steps in his life, a task that many are quite nervous about. That doesn't seem to be the case for him, however. "I definitely feel prepared in the way that Cal State [San Marcos] has prepared me as much as it should for my next step," Andersson said. "Since I am a Psychology major, most Psychology majors do go on to get their masters or PhD, so it's definitely not like I've reached the goal of my academic career so far. Cal State has helped me to be where I want to be at this point, but I still have some ways to go." Photo courtesy of Matt Berson Well, there you have it. Jacob Andersson, the former ice hockey player and future psychologist says he is prepared for what is next. His favorite memory may not have been a winning effort, but it sure can be something that will remind him of the bumpy roads and show him how far he's come. Best of wishes to you Andersson. Q&A with hurdler Damon Moore B Y B URTLAND D IXON SPORTS E DITOR Photo cùuttesy of Matt Berson BYAMYGHASTAIN A SSISTANT S PORTS E DITOR With a plan for the future in place, CSUSM baseball player Ray Patchen spoke to The Cougar Chronicle about college and his vision for life after graduation. Patchen gave a token of advice tofellowstudentsathletes who have yet to graduate. "Enhance your time management s kills" he said. "You can't play a sport forever, at some point you're going to have to graduate and go on in professional life." Looking back on life as a studentathlete, Patchen highlighted two accomplishments he is particularly satisfied with. "I am really proud of my hit streak that I got earlier this year, a 24game hit streak," he said. "Also every semester I've been in school since I was a freshman in high school, I 've had over a 3.0 GPA." After college, Patchen hopes that baseball will continue to be apart ofhis life .As a Communication ma- jor, he wants "to one day use that [degree] to become a professional major league [ MLB] umpire " Not only does he hope to pursue a career as an umpire, but Patchen also has his eyes set on management training positions. The five week " MLB accredited umpire school starts in January out in Florida" said Patchen. He intends on going through the course in hopes of being a M LB umpire. Patchen, an infielder for the Cougars is the only baseball player graduating this year. In his time at CSUSM, Patchen has left his mark not only on the baseball field but also in academics. He is only the second baseball player in program history to receive the Capital One/CoSida Academic All District Team honors. This award is given to players for exemplary performance both in the classroom and on the field. Patchen's success at Cal State San Marcos could be an indicator of things to come.

For s ome| there are more semesters to go; however, for senior Damon Moore or as his friends call him DJ, his time here, at CSUSM as a studentathlete is numbered. The All American track and field hurdler may be on his way to accepting his diploma, but leaving CSUSM also means leaving behind fond memories, a caring professor and a moment to last forever. Cougar Chronicle: What has made your time here at CSUSM memorable? Moore: Joining the track team and being very involved on campus. Being really involved and having track to push me to get good grades, to study more and to compete. I think if I wasn't in a sport I don't think I would have enjoyed myself as much as I did. CC: What was your favorite moment while competing in track? DM: Being an AllAmerican (becoming Ail- Photo courtesy of Matt Berson American in track requires a top nine finish at the highest level of competition in the nation) at Nationals and having the school record. We came into Nationals ranked 13 th and we came out placing fourth. I think that was the best moment of my life. CC: Out of all your years here, who was your favorite professor and why? DM: I 'm going with [Professor] Chadwick because she's a Women's Studies professor and I was a little skeptical about taking Women's Studies. I took her 101 class that I really liked and she made me think about certain issues I never thought about before. She's really passionate about what she is teaching and she really makes us look at things in a different perspective. There was a time when I was having some issues, and she understood and talked to me because she could relate. I 'm going to really miss her when I graduate. CC: What are your goals for after you graduate? DM: I got offered a track position out here in San Marcos and a head coaching job out in my hometown, Vista Murrieta. [I want to be] either a track coach or pursue my dreams in the entertainment field as in acting. Over summer, I 'm going to work with somebody who is in that field as a director and be her personal assistant to see if that's really want I want to do. From experiencing what he deemed the best moment of his life while competing, to having a professor he could talk when he was in rut, Moore surely did have plenty to enjoy while here at CSUSM. Congratulations and good luck on your journey after graduation, Moore. Ex-Charger's workout perfect for college students B Y A MY C HASTAIN ASSISTANT SPORTS E DITOR Shedding over 80 pounds in five months is no small feat. Yet, Nick Hardwick, the retired San Diego Chargers center, has done just that. The former football player began his weight loss project in 2014 upon his exit from the NFL after suffering a neck injury. During his 11 year career, Hardwick weighed around 295 pounds. As a center, Hardwick used his weight to push the defensive players back and protect his quarterback Philip Rivers. At his Feb. 3 retirement ceremony, Hardwick stood before the press at 208 pounds down from 293 pounds, according to a tweet by UT San Diego writer Michael Gehlken. Hardwick's focus on a healthy life was all but confirmed when he stood before the media with this new slimmed down frame. On his Instagram account, Hardwick stamps himself as a "fitness junkie" and "health nut." Hardwick's various social media platforms consistently highlight his wife and children, but now they detail his journey to health through food and fitness. He shares workouts which are perfect for college students. These workouts are quick and hardhitting. They can be done in 20 minutes or less, and with minimal equipment. The most unique part about the following workout is that Hardwick did it in skinny jeans. When questioned by a fellow Instagram user on why he was wearing jeans, Hardwick responded that he was "just proving that you can do this workout anywhere. In any attire." One minute of each of the following (no rest between exercises). Do as many as possible within the time frame. Rest 30 seconds after cycle is completed. Repeat 2 to 5 times. Jumping Jacks Squat Lunges Mountain climbers Push ups If Nick Hardwick can do five rounds of this workout in skinny jeans, it is not wild to think it is an attainable workout for any college student. �T H E C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W E D N E S D A Y , M A Y 6 , 2 0 1 5 GRADUATION PROFILES JJ Gutowski exemplifies servant leadership B Y C HRIS M ORALES P HOTO E DITOR Jeff "JJ" Gutowski is an outstanding scholar, leader and mentor who has learned from the manyhardships he has faced in life and will leave a lasting legacy at CSU San Marcos. Gutowski, a Business major with a Political Science minor, will graduate from CSUSM in May after arriving to the university in 2010. In the five years he has attended San Marcos, Gutowski has been deeply involved in Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), ACE Scholars, Model United Nations and the California State Student Association. After moving to Hemet at the age of 10, Gutowski attended Tahquitz High School where he credits much of his success originated. "As far as Tahquitz goes, I give so much credit to the teachers and everyone that absolutely laid the foundation for me," he said. "They provided me with so much opportunity constantly for growth." Personal growth is an aspect of life that Gutowski has become familiarized and more comfortable with over the years. He credits his growth as a leader to not only his many successes in life, but his mistakes as well. The current ASI Vice President of External Affairs reflected on some of those moments from his freshman year. "I needed to turn in an ASI application. I was five minutes late turning in the application, [it] delayed me a whole year," Gutowski stated. "Another regret: for the orientation team, I went to apply and I wrote it in pencil. Didn't get the position because of that." Gutowski now writes all of his applications in pen. Putting in the "extra 10 percent" has now become a mantra that Gutowski has chosen to follow in order to develop himself to the fullest extent. This personal growth has resulted in a character that learns from his mistakes, and is able to find success by overcoming these constant hardships. "I still mess up every day. It's just taking that nasty anxiety feeling and turning it into something positive," Gutowski said. He credits his growth and success to many mentors, but he also believes that his greatest success is being a mentor to others. Spreading positivity and building healthy Photo by Chris Morales Gutowski shows off his Cougar pride. relationships with others are small steps he chooses to take on his monumental path as a servant leader. "If you're going to be a leader it has to be because you're empowering other people," Gutowski said, Once you do that, I think you're going to be on a good path." Gutowski leads by example, and examples like his are hard to come by. He will be pursuing a career with Latham & Watkins LLP following graduation; but his legacy, filled with a multitude of friendships and mentorships, will be looked up to by future Cougars as the definition of servant leadership. Kamalayan Alliance President champions leadership and community B Y S HANICE D AVIS A SSISTANT FEATURES E DITOR In the fall of 2011, Nicole Diwag began attending CSUSM, declaring her major as Criminology with a minor in Women's Studies.

"He said, ' I'm here for you, the school's here for you.' To me that was a profound moment because professors have very busy lives, but when a professor tells me that they're there for me, that reassures me that I 'm not just a number, I 'm not just part of a system." Usually, once someone graduates, they're either heading to grad school or going to work, but Diwag has a different course of action she'd like to take first. "This is going to sound so silly, but every single day after graduation, I 'm going to drink coffee out of an actual ceramic mug because I've been drinking it out of thermoses or disposable cups, and I 'm tired of that." Proceeding while chuckling, " I'm going to wake up, really enjoy my coffee, read the news, but more seriously, I 'm going to be studying for the LSAT. I plan to go to law school. I also plan to work, but I 'm giving myself a year, so I 'm definitely going fo slow things down," said Diwag. For potential law schools and jobs, Diwag* says she doesn't want to speak on the matter and cause bad juju. As to where she sees herself in the next ten years, Diwag is not interested in finding Mr. Right, being married with kids, but in fact, to be out making a difference and searching for progression ."I want to give back to the community and I want to help empower them the way they empowered me," she says as she recites a quote that symbolizes who she wants to be. "I carry the dreams of the community that raised me." " I'm definitely not done learning, I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, I expect that I will travel more,to places you don't hear about." "All the stuff going on, all the discussions people are having, I hope there's progress, in ten years, I want to still be having those discussions. I hope that me and other people can talk about it easier and that we won't have to walk on our tiptoes, we can just say something." And for future graduates, Diwag has a final piece of advice ."If you are ever given an opportunity, consider it and then if you decide to take that opportunity then do it, kick that door down and just kick ass at it. Prove that this opportunity was given to you because you are the best performing at it. If not, learn how to gracefully bow out of commitment," she said.

Upon being dropped in the den, she immediately found her clique at the ASI LGBTQA Pride Center, a place that helped shape her to be the woman she is today. "It was my home away from home. A place I could go between classes, eat lunch, make friends and be involved in social justice," Baca said. "I learned so much about the LGBTQA community, and it helped me become more comfortable with myself as a queer woman of color." Given that the LGBTQA Center became Baca's home, it was only right, that had the opportunity presented itself, she'd take it. "It gave me a chance to give back to the center which I called home. I wanted to create a welcoming and supportive space for all students, the very same welcoming and supportive space I was given as a freshman," Baca said. "I wanted to help maintain the very space that helps students feel at home at CSUSM, so that they can also find a place to belong," she said. It is clear that the Pride Center is Baca's pride and joy, and even less surprising is the fact that she dubbed In May, Baca will be graduating and saying her final goodbyes to the educational system. She has a job lined up for her as an IT desk technician for a wholesale sports apparel manufacturer.

Silvas plans to complete prerequisite classes, take the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) and apply to nursing school. "Eventually, my plan is to become a pediatric nurse practitioner," said Silvas. "Also, I plan on interning in a hospital to get more experience in the field as well as continue research that I have been working on at CSUSM." While attending CSUSM, Silvas became involved in surf research, participating in three studies and having the opportunity to present the first at the Southwest American College of Sports Medicine Conference (SWACSM) in Costa Mesa in October 2014. She will be presenting again at the end of May at the American College of Sports Medicine's 62nd Annual Meeting at the. San Diego Convention Center. "I never thought I would have such an incredible opportunity to get involved in research and present a study at conferences like these, but I have definitely grown a lot from these experiences," said Silvas. Silvas never thought she would become involved in school or student organizations until she realized how much she enjoyed the Kinesiology Club and the individuals within it.

"They inspired and continue to inspire me to work hard and never give up. I will miss having that incredible support system and will miss spending time in their classes and labs.

"I will definitely miss coming here every day, but I am excited to see it continue to grow in the future." Vivian Nguyen is a dynamic student leader at CSUSM who is grateful for the experiences and opportunities she has had throughout her college career. In her fifth year here on campus, Nguyen is all set to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences in May. She is currently the Outreach and Communications Specialist for the University Student Union Activities Board (USUAB), and has also been involved in other organizations such as Orientation Team (O Team) and Alpha Omicron Pi. Through her involvement in these organizations, Nguyen said that she has been transformed and has been given the opportunity to grow through these experiences. "I wasn't involved at all in high school, besides marching band my freshman year. In college, I ended up applying to OTeam on a mere whim, and it helped me grow so much as a person and eventually made me realize that I could in fact be a leader some day," she said. "One of my best friends from OTeam, Dominica Ranieri, pushed me to apply for USUAB , which really became the heart of my transformation on campus... [and] Alpha Omicron Pi showed me the importance of sisterhood, and gave me a hundred sisters when I had no siblings in my family life at home." When asked about the impact she has made at CSUSM, Nguyen humbly responded by saying that she hopes she has been able to influence at least some of her peers during her time as an undergraduate.

International student says farewell to CSUSM B Y G LORIA MAGALLANES ASSISTANT O PINION E DITOR Izumi Furusawa is currently an international student here at CSUSM. She hails from Tokyo, Japan where she started her academic studies before transferring to this university. She's been here for over two years studying Global Studies and will be participating in the commencement ceremony in May, although she'll be officially done in the fall. Furusawa has always been interested in foreign countries because of her family's love of traveling. She was exposed fo different cultures at a young age. It was this exposure that led her to come to America as well as her love of foreign cultures. "America has more diversity. This is diversity. Diversity means the world to me," Furusawa said. Being a student at CSUSM is an advantage for Furusawa and her future career because American degrees are more valuable in Japan. However, all good things must come to an end. After she gets her degree she will have to return to her native country Japan even though she doesn't want to. "My goal is to come back here through a Japanese Photo by Gloria Magallanes company," Furusawa said. Throughout the two years that she's been here, CSUSM and California life have become a part of her. She especially likes our campus and environment. "I love it here 'cause it's small enough. If I walk around on campus. I see people that I've said hi to before and eventually it's easier to befriend them." Despite this experience, she's also realized that not every student is as warm. "I feel like American students are not interested in foreign culture. They don't care about internationals. In Japan, we are interested in international students, unlike here... here people don't care where I 'm from," Furusawa said. Nonetheless, she admits that she has been impressed many times by locals and their ability to talk to strangers, something that is not done in Tokyo. "I feel like people here are more kind. They are caring of others." It's hard to envision a life without the people she has come to know and love. "I really, really like it here. I've met so many people from around the world. I've made many American friends," Furusawa said. Overall, Furusawa is a fun, loving and adventurous person. She is full of life and laughter. There is no one else like her, she can't be replaced and because of this, I 'm certain that she will be dearly missed on campus, especially by her friends, the ones that have become family. All these experiences are memories she will have and cherish for many years to come. Congratulations, Izumi! Cheers to you and your accomplishments! Hugo Piñales, takes risks and breaks boundaries B Y JASMINE D EMERS N EWS E DITOR Hugo Pinales is a graduating senior at CSUSM whose work ethic shines through in hisunbreakable and dedicated presence on campus. Pinales is in his fifth year at CSUSM and will be receiving his bachelor's degree in Communication with a minor in Spanish. He is currently the Student Building Lead for the University Student Union and, during his time at CSUSM, he has also been involved with Orientation Team (OTeam), the University Student Union Activities Board, the Peer Mentoring Program and Student Life and Leadership. "CSUSM has really helped me grow as a human being through my involvement and my academics," said Pinales. Through his hard work and dedication, Pinales has been able to make a longlasting impact on the campus and his peers. "I hope that I am able to inspire students with different personalities to take the risk and find a special space on campus," he said. As graduation approaches, Pinales said that there are many things he is going to miss about CSUSM and that he has been able to learn so much from the Photo courtesy of Hugo Pinales people who surround him. "I am going to miss all the staff, faculty and students that have made my experience at CSUSM memorable, especially the staff and students that I have [been] able to work with at the University Student Union. They have allowed me to gain new and rewarding experiences that have made me to be a better leader at CSUSM," he said. As a first generation college student, Pinales explained that he is very proud of himself for taking on challenges and finally making it to graduation. When asked who has inspired him to achieve these goals, he said he turned to his parents. "My parents have always been my inspiration. Yes, it may sound cliché, but they have been extremely supportive during my five years at CSUSM. I see my parents as risk takers at a young age [because] they both came to the US for a better liv- ing. Through dedication and a high work ethic, they both became naturalized citizens, fulfilling their number one goal," said Pinales. "They have taken risks and dealt with challenges in life, but their passion and hope to overcome these obstacles inspire me everyday to push forward with my goals and aspirations." Pinales also plans to continue achieving his goals by continuing his education at San Diego State University. "I have accepted the offer to attend San Diego State University for a twoyear graduate program to receivé a Masters of Arts in Postsecondary Educational Leadership with a Specialization in Student Affairs. Also, I will be working for SDSU Residential Education." Pinales will take his memories and experiences from CSUSM and continue on his journey towards success. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 9 T H E COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, M A Y 6 , 2 0 1 5 The Cougar Chronicle bids farewell to Video Editor B Y B EULAH SUPRIYA SENIOR S TAFF W RITER As Cal State San Marcos has finished with half of the current semester, the ^eniors are preparing for graduation, one of whom is Raymond Ravarra, the Cougar Chronicle's Video Editor for the fall of 2014. As his time here in Cal State is ending he shares a few memories and lessons he has learned along the way. Ravarra has been at Cal State for the past two years studying a special major in mass media and visual arts. He came to work at the Cougar Chronicle as part of an internship. When asked about the experience he said," the people were great, I miss them. The overall experience was good and got to build relationships0. The reason for choosing mass media was a class he took at his second semester here at the school called video arts which increased his interest in Visual ••••••••HnHn media especially videography. There was also a need in the Church where he served for a good videographer as visual aids in this day and age have become an important way to communicate to people. He doesn't really feel pressured to get a job that will pay a lot of money as he trusts the Lord will provide,. Completing his final semester Ray Ravarra looks back on the effort which brought him to where he's at right now, including a semester in which he took 19 credits. Giving some advice to others pursuing their degree he said," Work hard and get it done, don't lose focus of what matters, we tend to define self by what we graduate in or what job we are in but can't find hope or contentment in that, seek something you can find full satisfaction in knowing that it will last." With Graduation approaching, Ray Ravarra shares his future plans. He plans on working as graphic designer, marrying his girlfriend and later continuing his higher education by joining The Westminster seminary and eventually become a pastor. Now that this chapter in his life is coming to an end, he is excited about his new life ahead and not having to climb so many stairs each week! We wish Ray the very best in all his future endeavors.

Athletes were generating huge amounts of revenue for their schools and they were compensated with scholarships. Fair enough, I thought, except that when I spoke to a few athletes I discovered that it was anything but fair. Athletes are forced to adhere to very professional schedules of practice and play. That means they cannot always take the classes they want because these may interfere with practice, for example. What? A studentathlete, who makes money for the school, which professionalizes their sport, cannot take the classes they want? How is that fair? The more I looked, the worse it got.

Martinez, a Communications major with a focus on public relations and journalism, has been at CSUSM for two years after transferring from Mount San Jacinto College. She has flflflfljflflflflflflEflfl^ been actively involved with American Indian Student Alliance (AISA), the California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center (CICSC), Public Relations Club, Tukwut Leadership program, Lead Retreat and with social justice actions on campus. Martinez's current leadership positions include being the Chairwoman of AISA, the Outreach Specialist for Public Relations Club and a Student Researcher at the CICSC. Martinez has thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities that have come from being involved on campus. One of her favorite programs was through Tukwut Leadership, which consisted of visiting Mountain Shadows, a place where handicapable and differently abled individuals are able to live in a safe, familylike environment. Partici- pants created a mural and artwork with the residents there. Through her involvement with AISA and the CICSC, Martinez has been active in a lot of events centered around helping Native youth. "The local Native youth come down to campus or we go to their school. We talk to them about college and give them a tour of the [CICSC] center," Martinez said.'"We have lunch with them and they ask us questions. It is a comforting place to go for the local youth and shows them that they can do it too." Martinez said that the CICSC in particular has been instrumental to her growth as a student and activist. She said that Tribal Liaison, Tishmall Turner, informed students in the center about getting grants and kept them informed on when scholarship applications needed to be completed.

"Every time I thought of college, I thought it meant a lot of schoolwork and getting involved in a sorority and that is it," she said.

Santiago is a third year student on campus and works hard to submit her FAFSA on time. Like years prior, she communicated regularly with the Financial Aid Department to make sure that her paperwork was submitted properly and on time. In this particular case, Santiago brought her financial aid paperwork into the office directly on July 21,2014. "The copies were stamped and dated and the employee working specifically told me that it would take approximately seven to ten business days to process. On August 5, my status was still showing up on my ToDo List," Santiago said. When calling to follow up, Santiago was greeted with a notice that Financial Aid "did not have" her papers and the campus fee was due the very next day. "That was $900 I did not have," Santiago said. "I was put on hold several times throughout the process while I found the papers I had previously submitted and drove to Kinko's and faxed the papers...," Santiago said. "But by accepting student loans to pay for the expense later in life seems far less appealing since the promise of employment and careers immediately upon separation from college have been lacking over the past decade. Employment rates have risen but much of that work is parttime and temporary through a large number of corporations including Amazon, The Department of Veterans Affairs and much more. Promising employment appears to exist in fields focused on technology, web development/design, software development, finance, various medical fields and environmental engineering.

She has attended CSUSM for the last two years after transferring from MiraCosta College and has written for The Cougar time with her family, friends and her boyfriend Tim who will also be graduating from CSUSM this May with a degree in Global Studies and is currently studying abroad in Israel until June. In her free time, F riedberg loves taking photographs. She skillfully captures the s implistic l oveliness of whatever she is photographing, whether it be loved ones, objects or nature. She has a refreshing appreciation for beauty and nature and takes joy in the little things. She is able to see One of her favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." C hronicle since 2013, moving her way up from staff writer to Opinion Editor. When Friedberg is not busy with school, the newspaper or her job as a nanny, she enjoys spending quality magnificence in the ordinary. One of her favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Her other hobbies include reading books of all kinds (although books by Donald Miller are amongst her favorites), spending afternoons at quaint coffee shops and going on picnics at Elfin Forest or Buena Creek Gardens. Friedberg is an extremely talented and accomplished writer. She regularly writes for SHARE San Marcos, a local community publication. Upon graduating this May, Friedberg plans on pursuing a career in editing and writing. Her writing is simultaneously both concise and expressive, which is a rare ability. She breathes life into her writing, transferring her passion and skill into the words she puts on the page or screen. During newspaper meetings I have had the pleasure of observing her in her element. She is animated and happy and eager to help staff writers however she can while being open to new ideas and thoughts. Friedberg is wonderful at making sure her section reaches its full potential while still having fun. She is smart, funny, dedicated and sweet and makes friends wherever she goes. During her time at CSUSM and The Cougar Chronicle, Friedberg has left a lasting impression with her hard work, kindness, sincerity and talent. She has a beautiful, effervescent soul and has blessed those around her and will be dearly missed here at school and at The Chronicle. The newspaper will not be the same without you.

As the semester comes to an end, Alcid is doing nothing more but anticipating her approaching graduation that she has waited four years. She s ays," I feel nervous of course, but in reality, I am brimming with anticipating and adrenaline. This will be a beginning of a new chapter of my life." Studying Psychology, Alcid explains that she did more than just study and get good grades. She found it important to be as active in every school activity and function as she could. "Over the course of four years on campus, I have been a part of the Civility Campaign, Alpha Omicron Pi, Gamma Sigma Alpha, Order of Omega, Psychology Student Organization, Psi Chi International Honor Society, Golden Key International Honor Society, SLL Peer Mentoring Program, ASI Board of Directors, Active Minds, Kamalayan Alliance, LGBTQA Club, and Circle K International," Alcid j L ß r j TT Q T f ^ ¥ A M I V I U k j - JL JL x m C D Ji said as she laughs at her long list of credentials.

I love singing as a hobby and occasional performances because I love the music family that gets created in any ensemble I have ever had the privilege to be a part of.

HG: I love music, I love singing; it's my escape from reality, my Zen; however through my minors in Video Production and Women's Studies I have discovered something empowering. The power of media and how that affects our society. In high school, I always struggled with my body image, it wasn't until I took my first Women's Studies class that I felt empowered to not feel ashamed for not fitting the beauty standards society has structured for women. Therefore, it wasn't until recently that I decided to go back to school next year to get my Masters in Fine Arts and a PhD in Gender or Women's Studies, so that I can focus on creating videos of some kind to promote body positivity in young girls. Singing is my passion, but children are our future. So I say why not go back to school? Why not make a difference? Why not?

" ^ 1 ' - * ~ gjH mmà s tart h ere a s a f reshman o r t ransferred f rom a nother school? MD: I was a Biology major as a freshman. There were various events that drove me to pursue a form of art over science. At the end of my senior year of high school, my father developed kidney failure and consequently was unable to work. In effect, we were left without a home. For a year we lived with family who helped us get back on our feet. I started college and was working part time. Two years into college I was frustrated and exhausted, both emotionally, physically and spiritually. My father was trying to adjust to a new lifestyle as much as we were as a family and this took a great toll on me. I was so focused on helping my family and providing that I forgot how to take care of sic this school has to offer. mm § a ®ü. W hat do you have in p lan f or y our p ostgraduate f uture? MD: I plan to apply for grad school to study ethnomusicology and teach in the near future. Photo courtesy of Mariela Dieguez Dieguez will perform 7 p.m. May 9 at Arts 111 myself. I was growing up too fast too quickly. There came a breaking point where my depression could not be contained. Besides it being a physical feeling of tiredness and exhaustion, I felt I was missing a basic emotion: happiness. Nothing made me happy. In examining my life up to that point, I reevalu- ated who I was, what I loved and how I wanted to live_. I soon realized I was always in choir even at my most desperate time and that's when I knew, I should just give it a try. What do I have to lose? I thought to myself, and I have not looked back at that choice. I am and will always be a student. As being p art of t he i naugural g raduating class of t he School of A rt, h as t here been changes in t he quality of t he School? MD: It is exciting to see the School of Art grow as I have grown and it will only continue to grow more and more. I hope to see more students interested in the mu- I s t here anyone (or a n umber of people) you would like t o t hank o r give recognition? MD: I would like to thank the numerous teachers that have shown me more than I had expected. Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Dr. Ching MingCheng, Bill Bradbury, Mary Jaeb and all the musical friends I made along the way which I have grown so close with, and my family and friends outside my college life who have supported me in my little journey I like to call life. School of Arts Senior Caleb Carter B Y F AITH O RCINO A & E E DITOR C ougar C hronicle: W hat is t he degree you will b e g raduating w ith? Caleb Carter: Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts Emphasis in Music C ougar: W hat is y our musical specialty? How long h ave you been p erfecting y our c raft? Did you h ave t o overcome some difficulties along t he way? CC: I 'd say that would have to be guitar performance. I 've been playing guitar for almost ten years now. And of course, with everything else, there will always be obstacles you have to overcome. One that I 've had would be this existential crisis I had about a week ago where I was having thoughts l ike, 4 Am I just a m usician?! love music and everything about be- ing a musician, but is that all I am? Like, I was thinking about what life would be like if I pursued a "real j ob" and not a career pejoratively deemed a hobby. I 'm past that now though, because I realized the reason I 'm pursuing music is bigger than that. It's more of a calling than a choice. Or maybe I 'm crazy. Either way, I 'm happy. C ougar: How was y our t ime h ere in CSUSM?Did you s tart h ere a s a f resman o r t ransferred f rom a nother school? As being p art of t he i naugural g raduating class of t he School of A rt, h as t here been changes in t he quality of t he School? CC: I have mixed feelings about my time spent here, haha. I 'll elaborate later. I came in as a freshman, but I did try transferring out to Berklee (College of Music) and UCLA during my second year, but that didn't work out. The only reason I wanted to transfer out is because this school is too new; the music program wasn't quite where I expected it to be. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with the professors. Absolutely nothing wrong, they're all great and possess skill and talent that I could only hope to have someday. It's just that this school is new and the music program (not sure if I could speak on the whole SofA) hasn't exactly been established. There's a significant amount of students that don't know that we have a jazz ensemble, let alone a music program. We just need more students (and serious ones at that) to create a higher demand, which would eventually lead to more funding and overall support. But that comes with time. The school will be at that level someday. C ougar: W hat d o you h ave in p lan f or y our p ostgraduate f uture? CC: I plan on grinding. Like, hella grind. This music thing is going to work out, but it takes so much work. A lot more than a lot of people are willing to put in. I 'm going to make some lifestyle changes, like: practicing four hours a day instead of two, making beats every single day, picking up two jobs so that I can finally move to LA, etc. I know that's a fairly vague answer, but there are so many things that I want to do with music career wise, it's hard just to choose one thing. Why not do them all at once? I know I 'm capable, but like I said earlier, I have to put in WORK. C ougar: I s t here anyone (or a n umber of people) you would like t o t hank o r give recognition? CC: Everyone. Really, everyone. I mean, I 'd love to give thanks to my mom and my sisters, Dr. Imara, Dr. Bradbury, Dr. Cheng, Photo courtesy of Caleb Carter Rendall, Kyle, David, Chelsea, Audrey, but the list goes on and on. I 'd just keep it simple and say everyone, because I truly am thankful of everyone I 've met along the way. And those people should know who they are.
