Biq questions left unanswered
Candidates sidestep, leave debate viewers wanting more By RYAN McKAY Daily Titan Asst. News Editor
John Edwards and Dick Cheney continued rhetoric in last nightʼs debate while Cal State Fullerton students said they were left with just as many unanswered questions as before the debate began.
“I expected the candidates to put forth a real development of their policies and a more upfront expression of their stances, but instead, they both gave only a general idea,” said Dzidzofe Avouglan, a senior music and French major. Avouglan, like the others who gathered among approximately 50 CSUF students to watch the debate in the Titan Student Union Underground, said she knew what questions she wanted answered, but said that both candidates failed
to provide the in-depth answers she wanted. “Both sides sidestepped each issue,” said Bryan Hennessey, junior human services major and Desert Storm veteran. Hennessey said that Edwards didnʼt give a full explanation of the questionable intelligence that helped steer the nation toward war in Iraq and what he would have done differently, while Cheney simply skirted Edwardsʼ questions. “Dick Cheney clearly didnʼt

answer Edwardsʼ questions regarding the Bush administrationʼs push to go to Iraq,” he said. “The issue of Iraq having weapons of mass destruction is an important issue, and the people of this county need the truth and need evidence.” The perceived honesty of the candidates was a recurring topic in the debate and students said it was an important factor and that they had trouble believing either side. “Edwards came off as being really smarmy,” said Danny Sanders, a
senior geography major. “Almost as though he is putting on a stage persona.” Sanders added that although he didnʼt perceive Edwards as being sincere, he said both sides have their own agendas and will say whatever they think will get them votes. “The Bush campaign and the Edwards campaign will continue to tell the people exactly what they DEBATE 3

SACRAMENTO – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is backing a campaign to limit lawsuits filed under the stateʼs unfair competition law, has used that law to file suits to stop the use of his image in ads and bobblehead dolls. That makes the governor a hypocrite, said opponents of Proposition 64, the Nov. 2 ballot measure that would limit unfair competition suits. “If the governor feels itʼs OK to file lawsuits under this law to protect his image, why isnʼt it OK to file a case under the statute ... when water and air are threatened with contamination but no money has been lost?” asked Jamie Court, president of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, a Santa Monicabased consumer group. “The governor is being very two-faced.” Schwarzeneggerʼs legal affairs secretary, Peter Siggins, said Tuesday that the governorʼs endorsement of Proposition 64 was an attempt to head off frivolous lawsuits, not to prevent people with legitimate complaints from filing unfair competition cases. He said Schwarzenegger had “some faith” that any potential problems created by approval of the proposition would be worked out in the courts. The 71-year-old unfair competition law allows individuals, interest groups, other companies and prosecutors to sue to stop practices that allegedly give a business an unfair advantage over competitors or defraud consumers. Supporters say itʼs been used to stop consumer rip-offs and environmental damage, among other things. But critics say the law has also been used by unscrupulous attorneys to shake down usually small businesses to settle lawsuits filed because of minor violations, such as failing to post a business license or using the wrong print size in ads. Proposition 64 would bar anyone other than the attorney general or a local prosecutor from filing an unfair competition lawsuit unless they could show they had been injured or lost money or property because of the businessʼ conduct. The ballot measure also would require that unfair competition suits filed for a group of people by someone other than the attorney general or another prosecutor qualify as class-action cases. Supporters say the measure would stop the frivolous suits, but opponents say it would make it difficult, if not impossible, for consumer and environmental groups to use the statute. Last year, Schwarzenegger, Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis used the unfair competition law as a basis for a suit against Fryʼs Electronics, alleging that the retailerʼs unauthorized use of the actorsʼ pictures in

Group boycotts ‘Shark Tale’
Watchdog organization accuses DreamWorks of racial stereotyping By ASHLEY HEGLAR Daily Titan Staff
DreamWorks Pictures has attempted to match the success of Disneyʼs “Finding Nemo” by coming out with its own artistic underwater animation, “Shark Tale.” “Shark Tale drenched movie theaters this weekend, taking in $49.1 million dollars at the box office. Despite success with the motion picture, there are accusations and concerns from watchdog groups about the splash hit film. Before the national premiere of “Shark Tale” on Oct. 1, the Coalition Against Racial, Religious and Ethnic Stereotyping warned parents and moviegoers of the violence and ethnic stereotyping demonstrated in the film. The organizationʼs spokeswoman, Dona De Sanctis, said her company approached DreamWorks about the
problems, but the studio failed to make a compromise, pushing the group to take action. “We are calling a boycott of CocaCola, Burger King, Krispy Kreme, General Mills, Hasbro Toys and Activision, the movieʼs principal marketing partners,” Sanctis said. The organization, which is composed of more than 30 ethnic organizations, including the National Italian American Foundation and the Italic Institute of America, has called for a national boycott of all products that promote the movie and its characters. The movie is about a fish named Oscar, voiced by Will Smith, who achieves his wish of fame and fortune by lying. He gets in trouble with a group of Italian sharks, with Robert DeNiro depicted as the boss shark. Rasheed Horsford of Garden Grove, who saw “Shark Tale” on opening day, said that even though the movie demonstrated stereotypes, he thought it was funny. Horsford also said that he didnʼt think it depicted the characters in a negative way. According to the watchdog organization, the Italians are not the only
targets of stereotypes. There is also a sensitive, feminine shark named Lenny who portrays homosexuality, two jellyfish that resemble a Bob Marley-Jamaican stereotype and also a taxi-fish that allegedly portrays an Indian immigrant. Although the movie concentrates more on the sharks as the Italian mafia, there is racial profiling for every different kind of fish in the sea, the organization contends. The ethnic organizationʼs main concern is the “harmful effect” the movie will have on children. They believe that the film markets negative stereotypes of Italian-Americans and other racial groups to yet another generation of Americans. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Italian-Americans are the fifth largest ethnic group in the United States. Sanctis said the boycott will be the first protest for the defamation of people of Italian heritage. Michael Perez, a CSUF sociology professor, said Hollywood has had a history of using stereotypes to personify characters, in relation status, gender and ethnicity.

The operation in Babil province – an area notorious for kidnappings and ambushes and home to the fabled, ancient city of Babylon – follows last weekʼs U.S.-Iraqi drive to oust insurgent forces from Samarra, about 60 miles north of Baghdad.

MARINES

Michael Martin, a CSUF student, has been a Marine in the ground reserves since graduating from high school and has completed his first six weeks in the Platoon Leaders Class program. In Oct. 2003, Martin met Horner and realized he wanted to be part of the flight aspect of the Marines. The incidents of Sept. 11 solidified his goals. “When Sept. 11 happened, I wish I could have just dropped out of school and could just go,” Martin, 20, said. “Those were my thoughts at the time. It basically motivated me more.” Skawinski agreed. “After Sept. 11, it took me a couple of hours to figure out that I wanted to join the Marines and get rid of the dangers, since everything I loved was being threatened,” he said.

The Marines Corps provides incentives to students that are selected for the program to make the challenge more rewarding. After a student completes a program, Horner said a student will receive at least $5,000 for tuition up to three years and spending money on top of that. After graduation, if the president commissions a student, he/she can earn about $2,000 to $3,000. Deployment overseas increases the pay as well. “They pay you to learn and work out essentially,” said Martin. “They have you push yourself to the limits and itʼs a [rewarding] challenge.” Going overseas after graduation is a real possibility for recruited
men and women. “For me, fear is always in the back of my head, but if you show youʼre scared here, you will be even more terrified over there and you will put lives at risk,” Martin said. “Itʼs all about pushing [yourself].” Aside from being in the Marines, Martin and Skawinski are very much the typical college students. Martinʼs other passion is baseball. Skawinski loves to surf and play his guitar, even though he is quick to mention that he is not that good at playing songs quite yet. Both Martin and Skawinski see themselves as part of the Marines in the future, and they said they are very happy about the plans they have chosen for their futures. Skawinski said he cannot see himself in any other program. “The Marines have the highest standard and they are the best because they are always fired up. Iʼm glad I ended up with them,” Skawinski said.

Sanders said that despite the lack of strong answers from either side, he worries that Kerry would take a “far-left” stance on gay marriage. This and the abortion issue are more important to him than the expansion of the middle class, Sanders added. Regardless of the specific issues, students who attended said they

He said from the late ʼ90s to the early part of the new millennium, the sanctuary was not being properly nurtured by a local individual who hired “missionaries to clean up the place.” Newell said he was devastated to find the sanctuary in a wreck when he visited from Santa Barbara. “[The neighbor and the missionaries] didnʼt understand ecological concepts,” Newell said. “The missionaries tore things out, like chaparral areas, to create less hazards for a fire. But itʼs a wildlife sanctuary and you need plants around if itʼs going to continue to be that way.” Luckily, Dean Kolf Jayaweera of the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Department stepped in to help restore the natural habitat, Newell said.

The hungry dogs, one male and the other a female, ate the ham and some crackers as they playfully jumped up on the students who rescued them. The dogs were a bit dirty and had fleas, but the students knew something had to be done. Stapp said they didnʼt even think twice about helping. They called the campus police to come pick up the dogs and within minutes Officer J. Blanpied arrived at the scene. He put the dogs in his
squad car and sped off to the station. Animal patrol picked up the dogs shortly after they were found, a University Police representative said. They are up for adoption at the Orange County Animal Control Shelter with an adoption fee of $125 per dog.

in how the sanctuary is run now compared to before. “Thereʼs a big difference now because itʼs undergoing a lot of work,” Brown said. “[The sanctuary] is more connected with the community, whereas before it was isolated. Having community support was a major help.” When the sanctuary was shut down, the Modjeska Canyon community went into an uproar about how their local landmark had been mistreated, Newell said. “The Tuckers said in their will that this place would always stay open,” he said. “So there were demonstrations at the gate. A lot of faculty couldnʼt come up here to do research because of the closure.” Newell said a faculty board meets a few times a year to make sure things are going smoothly at the sanctuary. The revitalization of the sanctuary has included a pond, bridges, soiling of native plant life and upkeep for the areaʼs animals. The museum and visitor center also had a facelift by placing models of wildlife in front of a mural done by a former CSUF faculty member. Robert Rodarte, a senior biology major, has been working at the sanctuary for one year now and said Newell had already done some work to refurbish the sanctuary when he
first got the job. “Newell did as much as he could, but it was still pretty junky,” Rodarte said. “The ivy surrounding the place was ridiculous because it took over everything and the Braille Trail was in shambles.” Now the Braille Trail — which is meant to cater to the blind by use of Braille signs to describe the plants along the way — and others have been cleared for easy access to hikers and tour groups. There is also a plan to revamp the amphitheater where lectures, concerts and even weddings will be held, Newell said. “I like everything about the place,” Rodarte said. “Just being there has a calming effect.” Newell said there are many more projects underway for the sanctuary and he is grateful to help in its revival. Newell said he is still getting used to his full-time work, but overall it is a great job. For now, Newell said he is proud of all the support the sanctuary has received by the community and from Jayaweera, who is retiring next year. “Mr. Jayaweera really wants this place to shine before he retires,” Newell said. “I will remember him for the great man he is, and I hate to see him leave next year.”
The bobblehead suit was settled by an agreement that allows Ohio Discount Merchandise Inc. to produce Schwarzenegger bobbleheads without the gun. The Ohio company also agreed to donate a portion of the sales to Schwarzeneggerʼs afterschool program. But John Edgell, the Washington lobbyist and former Democratic congressional aide who came up with the idea for the guntotting bobblehead, wasnʼt happy with the settlement.
He says it cost him $20,000 to defend himself against the suit and thwarted his plan to earmark 25 percent of the income from the dolls for cancer research. Heʼs planning to sell a “girlie man” bobblehead depicting Schwarzenegger in a pink dress. “In America we can praise politicians, we can criticize them and we can poke fun at them. If he has a problem with that he can sue me,” Edgell said.
