A Letter from the Editor

Going into our second semester of publication, The Zine is morethan ever committed to providing a forum for student expression.Whether you feel like sharing the things that keep you up worry-ing at night, or the entertaining tidbits that, somehow, help youmaintain your sanity as you face a flood of assignments, you canalways turn to The Zine to voice your opinions, your thoughts,and the news that means something to you. So if this issue of TheZine seems a bit eclectic, that’s because it is. February’s issuereflects the viewpoints and preoccupations of the diverse popula-tion of thinkers that make up the remarkable community of CGU

students.Yet, all of these articles share a common thread that’s strangelyappropriate for Valentine’s Day. As grad students, we’re pas-sionate about our work - I can, easily, name a handful of col-leagues who would call their chosen fields of study their firstloves – but at times, our research becomes consuming, border-ing on obsession that can be as frustrating as it is exhilarating.In February, The Zine explores love and its darker mutations.In our feature story, Amos Nadler shares his experiences with

Oxytocin, familiarly known as the “love hormone” or “cuddlechemical.” While Oxytocin facilitates our ability to bond withothers, it has also been linked to jealousy and envy; it’s a neu-rochemical that can inspire divergent emotions. Interestingly,articles on Oxytocin seem to have the same effect: BrandyJensen responds to what she sees as XXX in Amos’s article ina rousing discussion of XXX. Taking a slightly different angleon February’s theme, Karen Mower’s op-ed on student healthinsurance illuminates a problem that many graduate studentsface – the difficult choice between sacrificing health cover-

age and straining to make ends meet as we pour out moneyto earn higher degrees in the subjects we love. Rounding outthe issue are: a piece that depicts my love/hate relationshipwith literature as I prepare for my looming qualifying examsand music and film selections by Sharone Williams and MikePetitti that will satisfy no matter what your stance on love andValentine’s Day.

February marks the time in spring semester when class sched-ules are set, when books and papers begin to pile up, when we

start to feel a bit beleaguered as school picks up steam. Takesome time with The Zine to relax, learn about your colleagues,and join in on the discussion.

This issue’s cover art:“Monopolization”  by Mihyang Kim

My work has common themes of

balance and co-existence. The bal-

ance found in nature and also the

fight for balance and co-existence

in human life or political struggles.

They embody my homeland, my

countryside, and my journey to

America. I think art is the way I can

live as myself. www.mihyangkim.

xytocin is a peptide of nineamino acids and a molecularweight of 1007 daltons, one oftwo known human hormonesreleased by the posterior pitu-

itary gland to act at a distance.This molecule is instrumental in bonding be-tween mammals, and recently shown to beassociated with trust at the Center for Neu-roeconomics Studies at Claremont Gradu-ate University. It causes erections when in- jected into the brains of rats. As I’ve learnedfrom my informal research over the past tenyears, oxytocin is also strongly linked with

getting you laid more often than your tes-tostorone-pumped buddies.On a recent night out at the bar with

my male cohort, we were out to see whatwomen were out on the prowl, creatingthe opportunity for our single members toget a share of the action. Scouting aroundthe crowded Abbey, we saw a wide vari-ety of age, size, and beauty. Throughout

the night, woman after woman came up tome and put their arms around me, kissedme and let me kiss them back, and casu-ally talked with my group of friends. A newmember of our group, the date of one of theregulars, couldn’t believe her eyes, and saidto me, “Why do all these girls come up toyou?” “Oxytocin Man,” I told her. Judgingby the look she gave me, she wasn’t famil-

iar with the mammalian neuropeptide so Igave her a quick intro on the topic, start-ing with the literature on mate bonding,how our lab discovered its role with trustin humans, and how it makes star appear-ances at every copulation, making sure tomention that gobs of it are produced dur-ing vaginocervical stimulation and orgasm.She was intrigued, but her date, based on

the stern look on his face, was unamusedby the amount of attention diverted to meand away from him. “It’s about connecting,”I told her, “which means seeing the beautyin other people instead of what’s ‘wrong’ withthem.” “Tell me more,” she said. In a dramaticdeparture from typical male braggadocio, Iwent up to my friend’s date, gave her a hug,

OXYTOCIN MAN by Amos Nadler

and gently kissed her on the cheek, fully aware of the multiple viola-tion of norms I was simultaneously committing. Her date didn’t seemto mind, too much.

You can make a choice as to which neruochemical you standfor. In other words, if one identifies with a particular hormone and

its attendant behavioral patterns and cognitive values, then you willencourage the production of that neurochemical in your system, thusencouraging the very affect that created it in the first place; angerbegets anger as love begets love. As an Oxytocin Man, you see thebeauty in the women around you and seek to touch the part of themthat they keep hidden from the world, and often, even from them-selves. As an OT Man, you communicate trust and genuineness as yougently place your hand on her lower back, telling her with your palmthat she is safe, that you believe in her intrinsic worth and love her for

who she is. When you make love to her, you look her in the eyes, andspeak to her using no words, telling her with your body that she is asbeautiful as life itself.

An OT Man lets go of the idea that to be a “real man” you needto treat women as territory to conquer and tally. Instead, you seetheir beauty, and have the courage to see your own strength, innercapacity, and spirit. Instead of creating the lines that divide you fromanother person, such as seeking their faults or the ways in which theyfail to measure up to your picture of what an “ideal” person ought to

be, you consciously look for their beauty, the very thing that will allow

you to feel connected to them.As an OT Man you seek to connect with people, even if it meansrevealing yourself, making a mistake, becoming vulnerable and tak-ing social chances. Being an OT Man means that you seek to connectwith women at an ineffable level, where time stops and the veils ofperception are pulled back, where you can taste transcendance onanother’s lips and feel what it might be like to watch the world in theprocess of creation.

When you touch someone with the intention of communicat-

ing that they are safe and loved, they will want to be touched moreand fear less. When mammals are in a fearful state, they have higherlevels of adrenaline and cortisol - oxytocin inhibitors - which preventthe experience of bonding and connecting with another person. Theemotional and physiologic state of connectedness makes sexual ex-perience more fulfilling for both of you, and opens the door to deeperbonding, something not really possible when simply screwing some-one for sport.

“... if one identies with a particular hormone and its at-tendant behavioral patterns and cognitive values, then you will encourage the production of that neurochemi-cal in your system, thus encouraging the very affect thatcreated it in the rst place; anger begets anger as lovebegets love.”

8/3/2019 The Zine - February 2009 edition

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-zine-february-2009-edition 6/18

Being an OT man is about taking a deepbreath before you talk to someone, pausing tosee what their expression is, letting them finishtheir sentences, and loving them even whenthey do or say something you don’t like. Being

an OT Man means that instead of criticizingyour partner, you encourage her; instead oftelling her she’s gained weight you tell her thatshe’s beautiful. People live up to the expecta-tions you set for them, so treat them like themost beautiful women in the world, and theywill become that.

For the record, being an OT Man is notabout putting away masculine strength or re-

pressing “male” characteristics at all. Rather, itis about channelling the power fueled by tes-tosterone into the most productive avenuesand recognizing the ways in which that en-ergy is wasted on empty and fruitless behav-iors. Few people fall into one category, for theTO/OT paradigm is a continuum between twotypes of attitudes; wisdom is knowing whichone to use and when to use it. There are times

to demonstrate impenetrability, just as there attimes when vulnerability and approachabilityare necessary. In my experience, the formershould be exercised much more frequentlythan the latter.

In so far as sexual experiences go,there must be something to this notion of be-ing open to someone in a profound, presentway. My last girlfriend, who was 31 years old,had never had an orgasm during sex - until

the first and every time thereafter with me. Ihold the record on every field I’ve played, andsee women melt when I touch them. Perhapsit is a sin to codify this approach, and per-haps its not truly possible to communicate itwith words. Yet the key point here is that wehave many, many channels and many, manydimensions, but it seems that most peopleoperate within a narrow strip of those possi-bilities, playing out only the roles they know

and believe are available to them. My hopeis that people will use this to create deeperintimacy with those they love instead of as aweapon against people to command them totheir ego’s will.

“If I Were You I Would Kill Myself”  by Mihyang Kim

8/3/2019 The Zine - February 2009 edition

hen English CGU doctoral candidate Danelle Dyck-hoff accepted a gift of ceviche from a co-workerlast spring, she didn’t know her meal was contami-

nated. Later that evening, an ambulance rushedher to the emergency room, where she was givenan IV to help her weakened body fight severe food poisoning. Af-ter spending a night in the hospital, Danelle returned home with herstomach settled, but her worries were far from over. A month later,she was charged over $3800 for her ambulance ride and hospitalvisit because she didn’t have health insurance.

As grad students, a lot of us are only one hospital visit awayfrom being in Danelle’s shoes. But when the cost of our tuition is$1,524 per credit, it’s difficult to afford health insurance. Many of us,

like Danelle, cross our fingers and hope that we don’t get sick dur-ing the few years we attend CGU, and that we somehow survive tothe day when (we hope!) we’ll find jobs that provide coverage. ForDanelle, the experience was a huge financial hit, but she doesn’t haveregrets; she figures that the cost of four years of health insurancewould have been at least equal to if not more than her hospital visit.

Like Danelle, I’ve gone back and forth about whether to payfor health insurance. I’ve had an independent plan from AETNA fortwo and a half years and have never used it once. That’s over a hun-dred dollars a month for services that I don’t use. Am I throwing away

money when I have a body that will probably remain healthy?I went on a journey to find the cheapest health care available

for a 28-year-old student like me. I figured that maybe if I delved intothe dizzying maze of statistics, I might find an answer to my question:is insurance during grad school a waste?

After comparing three health care plans available to students,I found that I could get better coverage at Claremont’s Health Servic-es for the same price as my current insurance. Even better, I learned

I WILL NOT PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE  W I T H M Y   H E A L T H

I could have “just in case” health care for only sixty dollars a month,almost half of what I currently pay.

But perhaps the data itself was less helpful than the realiza-tion I made: I may be a sissy and a grade-A coward, but I don’t wantto play Russian roulette with my health. Everyone I know who is olderand wiser than me says the most important thing to protect is yourhealth. An unhealthy life is a miserable one. Will I get sick in the nextyear while I finish my dissertation? Probably not. Am I brave enough

to risk it? No.I’ve done a lot of risky things throughout the years. I took anexpedition to Antarctica in 2006 and almost got stuck in an ice storm.I’ve sky-dived. I taught in one of the more violent schools in Harlem,NY. But what if I get a brain tumor and need an $80,000 surgery thatI have to pay for myself? That’s a situation I’m not ready to face,and no matter how much the odds of good health are in my favor, Ican’t convince myself to take that risk. Catastrophes always happento people who thought it could never happen to them. As the healthcare debate swirls around us, we have to realize that people are gam-

bling with their lives, and when they lose, they lose big. I want a na-tion where people can afford to be taken care of and don’t have tosell their homes to afford vital surgeries.

So at the end of this year, I’ll be another $600 poorer, and onmy sparse income, that’s a lot. But I’ll have the peace of mind thatcomes from knowing that if something terrible does happen, I’ll be ok.And I guess that’s not the worst thing I’ve ever spent $600 on.

• Monthly Premium.For a 28-year-old, CGU’s Health Plan costs

$136/ month (if you’re under 26, the pricedrops to $103/month). Aetna costs $138/month, and Optimum Advantage costs$60/month and sets up an optional HealthSavings Account (HSA) for you.

lose big.”

SONGS TO MAKE

LUNCH TO

A Valentine’s Day playlist forlovers and lovers scornedcompiled by Sharone Williams

Do the words “Valentine’s Day” fill you with romantic longing for someonespecial? Or is it more like a visceral hatred? Whether you’ll spend next Sun-

day night with an old love or a new one; whether you’ll be giggling with goodfriends over a glass of wine, mutilating photos from happier times, or wallingout the pink and red onslaught with your school books, there’s music here foryou.

Music for Lovers Music for Lovers Scorned

Nobody but Me - Lou Rawls“I don’t possess a PhD But … I’ve gota girl who loves nobody but me.”

Dr. Rawls only uses one drug—love.

Let’s Do It - Louis ArmstrongEpic and clever as only Cole Portercan be, sweet and slyly lasciviousas only Louis Armstrong can be.“Sloths who hang from the twigs doit, though the effort is great.Sweet guinea pigs do it – buy a

couple and wait.”

Lovebug - The Jonas BrothersYou can pretend all you want, butsomewhere deep down you knowyou like this song. It’s too cute notto like. So just go with it. I won’ttell.

I Only Have Eyes for You - The FlamingosArguably the most romantic songever written featuring a “shoo-bop,shoo-bop” echo.

Moments like This - Peggy Lee

“Moments like this make me thrillthrough and through / Carelessmoments like this, close to you.”Bonus points to lyricist FrankLoesser for use of the word noncha-

lantly.

With a Song in My Heart - Ella FitzgeraldA rare song about staying in love.“Though I know that we meet ev-ery night, / And we couldn’t havechanged since the last time,… it’s a new kind of love at first

sight.”

Kind of Blue (album) - Miles DavisThe perfect backdrop for studying,a conversation by the fire, a longdrive under quiet stars...or clean-ing the vomit out of your sweaterand wondering how it all went sowrong, so quickly.

Total Eclipse of the Heart - TheDan Band

How do you make a cheesy, awe-some break-up song even cheesierand awesomer? The Dan Bandknows.

Womanizer - Britney SpearsEndlessly customizable for angrysing-alongs. Did your ex like thecheap bucket at KFC? Substitute

“Wings-and-thighs-er.” Obsessivecleaner? How about “Sanitizer?”

Qué Lío - Willie ColónThis early salsa recording has itall: thwarted love, hatred and jeal-ousy, and plenty of phrases youwon’t find in your Spanish-Englishdictionary. Besides, it’s not reallyValentine’s Day without at leastone drunken trombone solo.

The Scientist – Coldplay Wallow in self-pity to the half-whis-pered crooning of Chris Martin.“Nobody said it was easy,No one ever said it would be thishard.” That’s what she said.

Song for the Dumped - Ben FoldsFive

“Wish I hadn’t bought you dinner /Right before you dumped me / Onyour front porch.… I want my money back, you

bitch.”

Love Went Mad - Elvis CostelloWant the last word? “I wish youluck, with a capital F.”

LOVE LIKE

in between

Was Valentine’s Day sold out? Don’t fret, here are some home-viewing options forthe love-drunk or love-sick ....

Casablanca (1942)The ultimate tough love story.

White Heat (1949)James Cagney oozes filial love for his “ma.”

Baby Doll (1956)Your average tale about an older man who marries a nubile teen, becomes men-

tally tortured while waiting for consummation, and is ultimately cuckolded. By Ten-

nessee Williams, naturally.

The Apartment (1960)A charming, frank tale about allowing love to hit (and miss).

Love Story (1970)Sometimes love means never forcing someone to watch this trite cultural phenomenon.

The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)Vincent Price’s atmospheric, cheeky testament to love in the here and beyond.

 Annie Hall (1977)

The timeless neurotic love story about a pair of incompatible lovers.

Harold and Maude (1971)An idiosyncratic take on a suicide-obsessed February courting a mischievous

December.

Carnal Knowledge (1971)As the title suggests, this one is about sex and, in this case, the ugly fallout that oc-

casionally surrounds it.

Last Tango in Paris (1972)Marlon Brando’s squeamish “erotic” journey is not for everyone.

Fat City (1972)John Huston’s bleak boxing picture parallels the peaks and valleys of two boxers’

careers with dual stories of blossoming young love and older cohabitation.

Cet obscur objet du désir (That Obscure Object of Desire; 1977)Director Luis Buñuel’s exploration of love and memory, with two women portraying

the enigmatic, volatile Conchita.

Raising Arizona (1987)A quirky Coen brothers’ film about the legal boundaries people will transgress for love.

Edward Scissorhands (1990)A somewhat maudlin, and entirely eccentric, metaphor for necessarily unrequited love.

In the Company of Men (1997)Love hurts.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)An icy look at the devastating effect honesty and distrust can have on a marriage.

Ethan Frome on Facebookby Jan Michelle Andres

Though a friend of mine knew about the insane amount of readingI have to do before my qualifying exams in August, she bought mea stack of leisure reading for Christmas, knowing how much it tor-tures me to own books that I don’t have time to read. Fortunately (orunfortunately), I have very little will-power in matters such as these;the other night after finishing Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome, I took abreak from my required reading lists and picked up Sarah Schmel-ling’s Ophelia Joined the Group Maidens Who Don’t Float (PenguinBooks; $15), which adapts works of classic literature into FacebookNews Feeds. I gleefully snorted as I read the notification aboutHester Prynne receiving a Scarlet ‘A’ as “Punishment Flair” and Dr.Jekyll’s status update about “feeling conflicted.” Delirious, appalled,

and, above all, inspired, I sat down to write my own Facebook versionof Wharton’s novel.
