Coffman is the founder and CEO of Intelligent Nutrition. She was not always the successful entrepreneur that she is today, however it was clear that fitness has played a huge roll in her career development. Not only is Coffman a bodybuilding champion and a former manager of the Gold's Gym Nutritionalysis Program, but she is also a graduate of Northwestern Instructor Training in anatomy. She took first place in many national bodybuilding events, including the 1998 Los Angeles Bodybuilding Championship, the 1996 Vancouver Natural Bodybuilding Championship, and first place and best poser in the 1996 Ft.

SDPD Wages War on Racial Profiling By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Sergeant Robert Lewis of the San Diego Police Department gave a symposium on the problems surrounding racial profiling in San Diego County at 1:00 p.m. last Thursday in Academic Hall, room 402. Lewis, who has been on the force for 17 years, is the department's expert on racial profiling and works as a community relations officer liaison to Chief of Police David Bejarano. According to Lewis and the SDPD, "Any officer who targets a citizen based solely on their race and for no other reason, that officer is guilty of racial profiling." Even during a time in this nation's history when people have seen a dramatic reduction in crime in virtually every major city in America over the last 10 years, the subject of racial profiling has remained a veritable hotbed of controversy. What makes this issue so controversial is not only the fact that it is almost impossible to prove that a person has been a victim of racial profiling, but that it is, at times, even more difficult to discern whether or not people have actually been racially profiled in the first place. From Jan. to Dec. 2000, the SDPD participated in a "vehicle stop study" in order to provide the community with a comprehensive view of vehicle stops conducted by its officers. According to Lewis, the desired outcome of this study was to help the police and the surrounding communities achieve a better understanding of police practices and to ensure fairness. The SDPD believes that by instituting the study, they can allay public perception of racial profiling by officers, strengthen police/community partnership, and retain trust and credibility with citizens. The department was also confident that the results of the data would prove that they honor their claim that they do not practice racial profiling. . Contrary to department claims, the results of the study showed that Hispanics and African Americans were overrepresented in vehicle stops in comparison to San Diego's driving-age resident population. Hispanics represent 20.2 percent of the population in San Diego, but they represented 29 percent of all vehicle stops. Similarly, African Americans represent 8 percent of the population of San Diego, but they represented 11.7 percent of two-pronged attack. First, they vehicle stops in 2000. intend to participate in more in-depth analyses to clarify and Furthermore, the study shows explain apparent patterns in that once stopped, Hispanics and the vehicle stop data.

Faces of America Confronts Race Relations By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Fran de Leon performed in the play Faces of America Friday, October 25, at Miramar College in San Diego. The unorthodox one-performer show is a commentary on race relations and racial and ethnic stereotypes in the United States. Faces of America was coproduced by Colin Cox and Fran de Leon. Cox wrote the script based on interviews with approximately 100 individuals from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. In addition t a de Leon, four other actors perform the show at alternate times as it tours the country. De Leon gave an amazing performance, portraying seven different characters from seven different racial/ethnic groups during the one-hour show. Using facial expressions, gestures, accents, posture, various idioms, and superficial costume changes de Leon presented the audience with seven vivid char- acters and seven different angles on race relations in the United States. Co-producer Cox's script is bursting with nuance and insightfulness. The characters dialogue captures their feelings and internal thought processes with a precision and economy that is startling, and de Leon executes the script so effortlessly that the show appears almost improvised. generation American. Along the same lines, a PhilippineAmerican doctor recounts her experiences with the tenacious assumption that as a female of Philippine ancestry she must be a nurse. Significantly, many of the characters are of mixed racial and ethnic backgrounds and their struggles to come up with precise linear definitions of their race and ethnicity provides both an element of humor and a key to The structure of Faces of one of the themes of the show.

An African-American man who has earned a PhD and achieved economic prosperity reflects that, in spite of his hard work, many Caucasians assume that he has stolen his BMW and is using his cell phone to conduct drug deals. The message of the show is built into its very structure. As mentioned earlier, many of the characters are of mixed ancestry and strain at identifying themselves along racial or ethnic lines. This situation makes clear that defining individuals in terms of race and ethnicity is intrinsically racist and unworkable. Modern changes in demographics will ultimately render such distinctions obsolete. The inexorable tide of travel, immigration, and intermarriage will sweep away the older views of race and ethnicity. The fact that one Asian woman can so deftly portray people from several different racial and ethnic groups is a credit to Fran de Leon's acting ability; however, it is also and indication of how superficial the perceived differences between these groups really are. Some of the characters in Faces of America dwell on their disadvantages almost to the point of becoming caricatures. The melancholic descriptions they give of their wounded lives border on masochism. Yet, this overstatement is not merely an incidental flaw in the show. By taking stereotypes to the breaking point of credibility the show damages the validity of those Faces of America receives its same stereotypes. funding from the colleges and other organizations who sponsor Faces of America works its performance for their students because it shows rather than tells and other members. the audience the inaccuracy and futility of racial stereotyping. �Treasure Today, Trash Tomorrow the design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole picture: recycling facilities, transfer stations, trucks, landfills, receptacles, water treatment plants, and rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age." Mierlè Laderman Ukeles is the first artist in residence at the New York Landfill on Stanton Island. By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer As the saying goes, one person's trash is another person's treasure. This is definitely true when it comes to environmental artist, Mierle Laderman Ukeles. She is the only artist in residence at the New York City Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island. About 100 people showed up last Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2002, for Ukeles' fascinating presentation on Maintenance Art. She began with her work in the 1970s, where she struggled to make known to the public the importance of maintenance workers from housewives to sanitation workers. One of Ukeles' earliest works involved the need for appreciation of security guards. Her point of view was that these security guards are in effect gatekeepers; they decide who gets in and who gets locked out. To prove her point to the public, she took over an art museum by selectively locking the doors, entrances, and exits to the different exhibits and the building itself. This re-enactment, on her part, of what security guards performed on a daily basis provided a strong connection between freedom and maintenance workers. Autumn in New York Perhaps one of the best-known displays of her artistry began on Nov. 7, 1974, on an east coast college campus. The exhibit was broken up into three installments as she took on the duties of a lawn maintenance worker. As this performance took place during autumn in New York, the changing of color and consequent death of leaves occurred all around throughout the display on the lawn. Her first challenge was to rake and keep clear a perfect rectangle on the lawn, without allowing a leaf to fall within the rectangle; this rectangle was the chosen portion of the lawn that would be saved from the suffocation by falling and dying leaves. Her next installment consisted of engineering a 50-foot long sanitary napkin for the 100- year old tree, which she metaphorically saw as being on its period. appreciation. California in a Jar In California, Ukeles is known for her work in providing closure for Los Angeles area residents after the riots of 1992. Since the riots involved so much fire and rage, Ukeles worked with the sanitation department to set up an exhibit of unburnings. People were invited to create unburnings in glass jars. Although, they were never told what an unburning was to look like, it was very much a process art in which the creation of the piece allowed for each person to release emotions brought on by the riots After the giant sanitary napkin and put them in a jar. was built at the base of the tree, she read aloud to the passing people, One high school boy built a small "O Tree, you are having your bed within his unburning jar, his period, everyone is saying how point being that now everyone in beautiful it is." the world can have a bed to dream in, even if it is only within a jar.

Her work with the New York sanitation department allowed more freedom for its employees.

The design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole picture: recycling facilities, transfer stations, trucks, landfills, receptacles, water treatment plants, and rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age that tell the time and the health of the air, the earth, and the water. They will be utterly ambitious - our public cathedrals. For if we are to survive, they will be our symbols for survival." After her presentation, she allowed for questions from the audience and offered advice to students. "Pile all of your dreams into here and mangle the boundaries while you are at it! As Chavez is a symbol for this university, this is the university of a chance for everyone. And if you believe in what you are doing, hang in there. When you get turned down, you keep trying because the jury will be different next time and they may love you. You keep going until they realize that you aren't going to leave," urged Ukeles. She ended her discussion with a photo of a gas field in the Fresh Kills Landfill, the final resting place of the World Trade Center that was destroyed nearly a year ago; making the truth well-known, what is considered a treasure today, may be considered trash tomorrow. Ukeles dedicated her presentation to her father, Rabbi Laderman of Denver, Co., as her presentation took place on the anniversary of his death. �ByRIA CUSTODIO Arts Editor Colors - an intrinsic, phenomenal, plethora of colors. Seussical the Musical toasts an acid trip specifically geared towards children and adults that revel in the sweet, seduction of childhood innocence. The loosely based, Seussical the Musical offered the message Dr. Seuss conveys in his books. Dr. Seuss directed messages to adults about political injustices and the simple fairness of treating people the way you want to be treated, if not better. The musical, conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flahery and Eric Idle, opened with an interpretation of people's situations and how these situations in turn affect other people. Seussical the Musical opened at the San Diego Concourse on Tuesday, Oct. 29 to an audience of whimsical children and adults alike. Magic filled the air as the curtain opened to past gymnast and actress, Cathy Rigby, as "the Cat in the Hat." Children stood mesmerized by the multitude of colors and the rhythm and rhyme of the musical. Seussical the Musical told a tale of simplicity.

It was raining last Saturday, the dirt bike trip was cancelled and the suggestion of wanting to go to a movie seemed appropriate. We went to the movie Ghost Ship, which was okay but definitely not as scary as Stephen King would have made it, but before leaving the theatre came the question, "Want to try and sneak into Jackass: The MovieV' I had no intention of paying to see this movie but the idea of sneaking in sounded like a good proposal. Please acknowledge that I am not suggesting anyone should sneak in. The problem is I am in my forties and so is my date and the idea of sneaking into movies should have ended a long time ago. We headed down the hall to the other side of the theatre and there was a manager checking tickets outside the entrance! I had never seen this before. The movie was sold out and there were kids under age trying to sneak in. "Can I help you, folks?" he asked politely. "Uhh, theatre 8?" "Down the other side of the theatre?" he says. "Thanks!" we say politely back and head back the other way. Darn are plans has been smashed. We decide to try for Barber Shop but we had to wait till the theatre was cleaned.

While waiting in line my date scoped out the situation. I noticed that we were not the only individuals trying to sneak into the movie. There were lots of disappointed, t-shirted guys in their twenties walking through the hallways saying, "Well, which movie do you want to go to then?" While waiting in line for the coke, my date said, "Okay he's moving away from the door, he's coming this way. Are you ready? Come on, come on, lets go!" We briskly start walking avoiding eye contact as we pass by the manager. Soon as we passed the manager we brpke into a full-blown sprint, at exactly the same time, two adolescent kids jump off the bench and break out into a run in front of us.

A P CUM SurfTeam Straggles jhraighlMWater SS SS By Joy Whitman For The Pride The ASI CSUSM surf team has been having a more difficult time earning points this season to become a top ten competitor in the national standings. Although the depth of the entire team has thickened, in comparison to their first season the new depth does not seem to be immediately paying off in their end results. Volunteer coach, Amber Puha, attributes these struggles to a lack of improvement from last season and levels of misfortune. In each of the past two events, there have been three out of six players that have advanced out of round one. Newcomer Grayson Adams was the sole survivor in round three at a Ventura event: The special teams unit seemed to be the teams' survival guide for these past two events. Longboarder Dustin Franks took one win at the first event in Ventura and a second place at event two, held at Blacks Beach on Nov. 2 and 3. Bodyboarder George Demarino and women shortboarder each helped keep the team afloat by clinching points and earning a second and fifth place at Blacks upon rebounding from the rough spots in the first few rounds. in thefinalround. In comparison to last years Ponto event held in Carlsbad, the team is down from 74 points with 6 out of 9 competitors and a sixth place finish. In Huntington last year, the team had scored 68 points with a 7th place finish gained by its 7 out of 9 competitors. Puha also recognizes the improvement by returning players, especially The team earned a total of 60 in the men's shortboard division points at Ventura and 69 points specifically from UCSD, SDSU at Blacks and earned a 10th place and USD. The question now remains a matter of how the CSUSM team will respond to this increased talent pool. They have two or more events remaining, not including state championships that will be their final chances to qualify them for nationals and to also prove themselves worthy of a shot at the national title.

There were 76 runners and seven teams who participated in the tournament. "Overall, the whole group ran personal best times for the season.

Reyes finished first overall with impressive time of 25: 36.1. Junior Robby McClendon improved his personal best by about 28 seconds with his third place time of 25:56.6. "I am hoping to PR (personal record) at regionals by at least another 20 seconds," McClendon, a business major out of Truckee, CA, insisted. He was followed by fifth place runner, junior Mike Shannon who earned a new personal record time of 26:03.7. Senior Brian Sullivan came in with a sixth place finish and time of 26:08.7.

I used to say I would never leave the area but when it hit me that the average price of a house in San Diego is over $500, 000, I realized I must do something. Did you know that along the coast in North County, the average home cost up to $900,000 plus? Along the 78 freeway in North County, the average price for a house is close to $400,000's. With some variations depending on the area or city within the county, houses range from semi-low $300,000's to the low $400,000's.

X-Country Team Forms Blockade, Refuses Parking for Students By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer . In light of the recent discontinuation of curb parking, and despite the temporary lot, parking is still a major issue at CSUSM. Even if you decide that you will park in the temporary lot, as there are no other spaces, your car must be moved prior to 4 pm. Whoever thought of this brilliant plan was just a genius, because you know, here at CSUSM we only hold classes until 3:45 pm just like elementary schools, right? Wrong! Some people attend class from 9am until 7pm, so this means that students have-to take their breaks, assuming they have one long enough to walk to the lot and try to find another parking space in a paved lot. Plus, did this genius think of what is going to happen to the dirt parking lot when it starts raining? What about that dirt walkway on the slope to get out of the lot? As we enter our wettest time of the year, this may be something that the administration should have considered. then quickly gathered back up to make it impossible to drive down the row. They rudely shouted at passing cars that "this row is closed" and "no parking here." I decided that they were wrong; this was a parking lot, not a workout facility and I pulled into As if it weren't bad enough the spot despite their actions to that there are more cars than try keeping me out of it. suitable parking spaces as it is, the Cross Country team decided When I exited my vehicle, to hold their morning stretch in I inquired the team, coach the parking lot during rush hour included, as to why they were oh campus.

Several members main parking lot for nearly a half replied, "A parking lot is just as an hour during the 8:30 to 9 am good as a field," as if they had traffic rush. been responding to this question all morning. Then another After stalking my prey for member replied that the field parking, he told me that he was was in use by a physical educaparked right where the team tion class and thus they were was blocking his spot. They unable to stretch there. allowed for him to pull out but I decided that this was definitely a problem, not just for me, but also for the numerous vehicles stuck in the traffic jam caused by the obnoxious bunch. As I walked down to the field, I saw not a single person on the field or track, meaning no class was there at all. In response to their lie, I speculated that the cause for the Cross Country team's takeover in the parking lot was not due to a crowded field, which let's face it wouldn't be crowded if the school population stood on it, but due to the fact that the grass was cold and wet that morning and they didn't H opf want to get their shorts wet. Unfortunately, I think this is a horrible excuse for causing an early morning traffic jam, and I believe that disciplinary action should have been taken. Rather than an apology from the team, I received a sarcastic note on my windshield when I returned from class. The note stated, "Hope you have a better day." In response to the note, I would like to say on behalf of the student population, get out of our parking spaces and go where you belong and we would all have a much better day! y 0 u WAye A P.ETT ETL DAY . �Rock Your Own Vote Don't get me wrong.

Tristan Nickey The Pride / Photographer Fragmentation and the Cries of the Coyote By JAMES J. SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer V * Do you hear the cries of the coyotes as you leave your last class of the night? Or do you see them in the morning as they scatter across Twin Oaks? These top predators that dominate the coastal sage shrub and the chaparral ecosystems of Southern California are being pushed from their natural habitats due to fragmentation. The urban development rips free spaces from natural inhabitants like the coyote and other creatures. The recent real estate boom has put a big demand for new housing. Acre after acre animals like the coyote are driven closer to suburbia. Many domestic cats and dogs are found missing and yes it is possible that a coyote is responsible. But do you blame them? Not only are they affected by fragmentation but also so are many other animals like skunks, . squirrels, opossums and raccoons. Smaller creatures like reptiles suffer, too. Governing predators like the coyote, who dramatically change the consistency of the ecological communities will cause the decline in one species and the incline in another or vice-a-versa. Are humans so selfish that they have no regard for nature?

The new Science Hall (Science II) was recently equipped with 180 new Dell computers, and 100 new Apple computers have been installed in the Arts Building. According to Bill Ward, directqr of Telecommunications and Network Operations at Caí State San Marcos, "The system adds were divided up by department except for one general student lab [stocked with PC's] that IITS manages in Science II. (The new Science Hall] has several new labs for computer science, math, physics, [and] biology.". Bill Craig, (we need his title here), was unavailable for comment as to the exact numbers of computers connected in each of the new labs.

The preview for the auction started at 9:30 a.m. and the actual selling began at 11 a.m. Over 150 people gathered for the annual event where items were sold on an "as is, where is," basis. The auction took place at the v For sale at the auction were computers, desks, chairs, TVs, VCRs, and a lot more. Over all, there were 400 items for sale. At the beginning of the auction, a Pentium Processor sold for almost $180.00 reported Cal State student, Ben Arnold but he said, "Later, I saw people walk away with computers for as little as $20. There were a lot of great deals. We bought a desk chair for $30." Robert Aguilar, another auctioneer, commented that the auction had a great turn out. "We had 100 lot sheets, listing the items available for sale, ready for the people, and ran out of them right away. I believe a lot of people have walked away very happy. This is different from what I usually do. I usually do car auctions. I am here to help Emilio conduct the auction and this is more fun." He also added jokingly, "Yes, it's true... if you scratch your eye at thé wrong time, you might wind up buying something!" The auction, conducted by Abamex Auction Company, was very successful. The cashier replied, "I am too busy to know how much money has been taken in, but everything seems to be selling."

The add/drop deadline this Fall is 09/17/02. Under the new refund policy students will be given up to the 60% point in the academic term (11/07/02) to receive a prorated refund. This means that if students bomb their midterms and want tt> withdraw, they still have a chance to get back some money. If students find themselves in a situation of having to withdraw from the university and wanting to get all registration fees back, there are some exceptions to this policy. Although severe medical conditions did not make the top ten list of acceptable reasons for withdrawal without penalty, the excuses that made it to the top are: a) fees that were assessed in error b) course for which fees were assessed was cancelled by the campus c) a delayed decision made by the campus regarding student's eligibility for enrollment and d) compulsory military service. It May Not Look Different, but the Dome has Gotten Better By JENNIFER ACEE Pride Staff Writer Although basically hidden to customers, many changes to the campus food court, the Dome, took place over the summer. As Aztec Shops employee Debbie Curtchianti said, "Most of [the renovation that took place] was behind the scenes/' This included an expansion that enabled renovation and upgrades. Asignificantamount of space added to the kitchen area, as well as advancements in the technological equipment systems used by the food services, makes for a better experience for customers. While things appear basically the same as they did last spring in the Dome's cafeteria and convenience store, in spite of appearances, customers may be pleasantly surprised. in the mornings and stored for the day's sales. However, now meals are cooked in small quantities throughout the day. Consequently, as Curtchianti promised, the food served in the Casa Del Sol Grille, Nana's Pizza and Subs, and the House of Tsang will be fresh, sometimes even made-to-order. Along with the positive changes, prices on some items have been raised, but only slightly - $0.25 at the most. Curtchianti says this is to accommodate ' for "increasing minimum wage rates" and any other increases in production costs. The Dome staff now claims that customers can enjoy fresher meals at what are still considered descent prices, and Curtchianti optimistically promised that more good things are yet to come to the CSUSM Dome. The selection of food items offered in the Dome has not changed or expanded greatly, but cooking methods have.

Goodbye to CSUSM, after 25 years of no new campuses." Since the opening of CSUSM, two new CSU campuses have been opened, but both of them, Channel Islands and Monterey Bay, have been built by refurbishing prior facilities and buildings, according to a Member of Its of 1990, Dr. Baker served as the first Chair of the Academic Senate. She recalls, "There were approximately 30 faculty here at that point and all of them came to Senate meetings which were very When CSUSM first opened testy." When asked to elaborate its doors to students in the fall about what made the meetings Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of Communications. He also said, "CSU San Marcos is the only campus to be built in recent years entirelyfromthe ground up." According to her campus homepage, Dr. Baker spent 18 years at .DePaul University in Chicago before coming to CSUSM, six of which were spent as Sociology department chair; She also worked briefly within the administration at Stanford University. Faculty unpredictable and highly-strung, she denied further comment. Baker said, "I was the only full time sociologist here until Bob Roberts joined me in 1992, but we had a number of terrific adjunct faculty who joined us early on so that by the time Bob Roberts came on board, we were teaching about 15 Sociology classes each term." In the spring of 1992, CSUSM awarded thefirstof its Sociology degrees to 13 students. By 1995, CSUSM had developed its "innovative master's degree program: Master of,Arts in Sociological Practice (MASP)," according to Baker. She said, "This program, which continues the focus Q n social problems, human service agencies [and]fieldresearch has been very successful in attracting students, having students complete the degree, and move on to relevant careers or in some cases to Ph.D. programs." In 1989, Dr. Baker came to San Marcos to help with the planning of the new University. She designed and launched the Sociology program in the fall of 1990, according to her homepage. Baker said, "I have many memories of CSUSM in its earliest days. I was very active in faculty governance at both CSUSM and the Statewide Academic Senate in the earliest years." Baker said that she is "very pleased to have been a part of [the effort to provide students of all backgrounds the access to a Sociology degree]." She added, "Joining the effort to found CSUSM, and in particular the Sociology program at this university, has given me a chance to make a difference." As a member of the Statewide Academic Senate, Baker said she "learned a lot about the CSU system, and the other senators gave me an earful about what they thought about the CSU starting a new campus, namely Cl a s Founding Dr. Terry Baker-Degler, Courtesy of her CSUSM Home Page sif ieds per week for a nine-month-old.

KRONE Pride Staff Writer and Sports Editor Cal State San Marcos men's and women's cross country teams traveled to Mammoth Lakes, CA, for a high-altitude training session from -Aug. 24 through the 31 of this year. The reason behind this type of training was to increase the lung capacity of the runners. In doing so, they increased their stamina making it easier for them to gompete at lower altitudes. "The thin air and less oxygen forces the body to produce more red blood cells, which increases the oxygen in your blood," senior Brian Sullivan explained. th st The course length that the women's team, runs for each event is five kilometers and the distance for the men's team, is eight kilometers. With half of the women's team, and nearly half of the men's team being returning runners, there is no reason for Cougars fans to think that this year will be anything out of the ordinary for this exemplary program. Returning runners for the women's team include seniors Lanele Cox and Camille Wilborn; and juniors Katherine Niblett and Felisha Mariscal; and sophomores Samantha Delagardelle and Manal Yamout. New to the team include, junior Megan Katlinger a transfer from U.S. Military Academy at West Point andfivenew freshman who include Ann Marie Byrne from University High School Yolanda Carillo from Temecula Valley r Sullivan Strides By JESSICA A. KRONE Sports Editor Cross Country runner Brian Sullivan is a 22-year-old senior majoring in psychology. This team leader was born in Spain and has lived in New York, Virginia, Georgia and Florida. From the ages of 10 to 14, he went to school on an American military base in Rota, Spain. He tried out for the cross country team at St. Augustine High School in San Diego. Sullivan promptly made the varsity team at his high school during his freshman year. He never competitively ran before high school; however he was a natural and it showed.

With these ¡six returning women and the six new members that are added to the squad, making Nationals, which is the goal of the team according to Coach Steve Scott, will be no easy chore. This would be due to the fact that the team will be running in what is thought of as a very competitive and talented region. Last year's team did not qualify for Nationals, but in 2000 theyfinished2 0 overall. Hopes are highfora return to glory. in the nation within the preseason National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) polls. "We have a good shot at being top five and could even win the National Championship," said Sullivan. The men's team has seven returning members who include seniors, Kris Houghton, Robby McClendon, Brian Sullivan and Omar 'Zavala; and juniors Mike Shannon and Justin Lessel. Sophomore Rene Reyes rounds out the returning lettermen. Ten new team members have joined which include, Jesse Armijo, a junior who transferred from Saddleback College; Tony Herr, a sophomore transfer from California Baptist University; Andrew Lewis, a On the other hand, the men's sophomore transfer from Alliant team has been ranked ninth International University; Marco th He enjoys running to areas that have beautiful sights. Sometimes, he will run to the top of a mountain just to witness the setting sun. Other times, he will get up really early in the morning in order to run along the beach and watch the sunrise. Running allows Sullivan to think. " Running is a mental escape from reality, no matter what is going on," he said. fdk favorite thing to do in his spare time is to have fun with friends in Pacific Beach. He works at . a shoe store called "Running Center." He is also a private tutor in all subjects for two junior high school students, with whom he has developed a great relationship. Alvarado, a freshman from Don Bosco Technical Institute; Wes Bryant, a freshman from Upland High School; Kevin Knight, a freshman from Arroyo Grande High School; Richie Gray, another freshman from Upland High School; Apolinar and Eduardo Mariscal, two freshmen twin brothers from Chula Vista High School; and Matt McCarron, a freshman from Terra Nova High School. With the experience of the returning runners and some new talent, this season promises to be both exciting and successful for the men's team. "I feel really strong about this season, we have a big group of guys with real talent. If we stay together and focused we will succeed," Sullivan insisted. Brian realizes that his cross country career will not last forever. " I just want to qualify for the Olympic trials in 2004 then get on with my life. Running will always be part of my life and I will never give it up," Sullivan explained.

Apparently the college of business and extended studies developed the hybrid in order for the university to be able to offer a competitive MBA program, as competition for graduate students in MBA programs has increased because ofnon-accredited programs and the Internet. And while some students have expressed their concern that the program problems might devalue their degree, Gonzalez has assured both students and the business community that "the quality of the program was not affected." Since May 2002, the MBA program is running on state money only. Gonzalez explained that those involved in starting up the MBA program, one of whom was Dr. Bill Stacy who was president of the university at the time, were "entrepreneurial" and "creative" and focused on trying to get an MBA program established. The report claims that the program problems were worsened by the high turnover in its administration and faculty. In the last 10 years, the college of business has sustained a loss of "at least 10 faculty members", and there have also been eight permanent and acting deans. President Gonzalez assured the media during a press conference in July, that "there was not any fraud involved" and the procedures and practices causing the problems have been corrected. The chancellor's office report did not name names and Gonzalez has suggested that the people who may responsible are no longer with the university. Former program director George Diehr said that from the beginning the auditors seemed focused on reaching conclusions that supported President Gonzalez. and act on the recommendations made in the report, and to determine if the problems in the program were caused by "errors in judgment" or if anything illegal or unethical was done and by whom. The committee was expected to present their recommendations and findings to Gonzalez within 60 days. The following CSUSM staff and faculty members make up the committee: Chair Marion Reid, Jackie Borin, Silverio Haro, G. H. "Bud" Morris, Norm Nicholson, Sandra Punch, Miriam Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and Rich Vanderhoff. George Diehr, former director of the MBA program from 1995 to 1999, and current head of the The CFA has questioned the campus chapter of California effectiveness of a committee in Faculty Association (CFA), which a few of its members rely insists there has been no misuse on Gonzalez for budget approvof funds and all the "expendi- als, promotions and pay raises. tures and activities in question Lillian Taiz, CFA vice presihad top CSUSM administrative dent, believes the committee approval."

Rancho Sante Fe Rd. �W alking: Is It R eally So H ard? By KURT B.MAYER Pride Staff Writer Why is it so hard for everyone to walk around campus? It is true that there is a parking situation underway at this university, and that there is such an abundance of vehicles that the main entryway is lined with cars from end to end. In this congested state it would seem logical to simply park wherever there was the least amount of confusion and the most available space, even if it was a further walk. Yet this does not seem to be the case.. Like many students, I myself have fallen prey to the "vultures" which scavenge our parking lots looking for the closest possible space. The feeling of being stalked is quite clear when it happens. An ominous presence overcomes you, like you are being watched. You slowly turn your head and see a blue Honda civic trailing you, pacing you. You can try to dodge the scavenger by cutting through Indeed, the campus has needlessly delayed in constructing an accommodating parking facility for both students and staff, thus allowing the vultures to multiply and run rampant through our parking lots. Perhaps the funding is simply not yet present for a five, level garage. Yet the campus still decides not to blacktop one of the neaiby vacant fields, if only for an immediate-term solution. I have paid my $62 dollars for a parking permit Yet to spite thè game and avoid the vultures, I proudly display my red token ASI and its Rules Recently, ASI asked one of the student representatives elected last spring to resign. Evidently, she did not attend a "mandatory" ASI retreat over the summer because of family obligations that required her to leave California. I understand the reason for the retreat was to provide the new officers with information they will need as student representatives. I believe, however, the ASI is not acting in the student body's best interest when it adheres to average, I find it takes less time to hike the distance than to hunt for a parking space. Despite -this simple reasoning, as I hike up Craven Road I see countless others foolishly wandering into the vultures' lair, and I shake my head in bewilderment. Once again, I ask you: why is it so hard to walk? Walking is good exercise! In addition to doing two hundred repetitions on the- built-in California State University Stair Master, the extra twenty to forty pounds of books each student carries offers a slightly more extensive workout — and that's great for your heart and lungs! Plus, we have more time to talk on our cellular phones and bask in the warm September sun. to the next aisle where your car is really parked, but the scavenger will quickly circle around the bend and be there, waiting for you. Only when you reach the safety of your car and vacate your parking space with immediacy will the vulture back off — slightly. The instant you are clear the vulture dives in and seizes the precious parking space. rigid rules instead of applying common sense when conducting business. Although she ran for a relatively minor position, the student in question received more votes than any other candidate did. If she resigns, her post will remain vacant until it can befilledby an appointee. In other words, someone who did not run for office can replace someone elected by the students, although neither attended the retreat. Where is the logic in that kind of thinking? from the parking lot of the "P" building on the far western edge of Twin Oaks Valley Road. I then proceed to hike up the And whose rule is this mandatory retreat anyway? If ASI made the rules, then our elected leaders can certainly make exceptions. If the school is making the retreat mandatory, then I believe a serious conflict of interest may be occurring. Try to follow my logic on this point. Raise your $62 dollar parking permits high, and climb the Cartoon by Desmond Barca university mountaintop. (Just be sure to watch out for the preying vultures.)

If the school foots the bill for the retreat, that would place the administration in a position of paying our student government leaders to act in a certain manner. The ASI would then lose its autonomy to the university that places restrictions on who can run for a student government office. LETTERS The school tells the students running for office that if elected they must attend a mandatory retreat. The retreat indoctrinates the students on how the school operates so that the student leaders can interface with their the student could have served in her position without attending the retreat. She and the people who voted for her deserve better. I would appreciate a response from the ASI on this point.

In fact V V last \ JMSLjustmonth Aj ^roiOK. I \X V\ \ j «k m id f ^S^W^ 3 ^/MPI wf m was m discussing this subject * with my friend, who graduated from SDSU three years ago. We both meet plenty of guys, and girls for that matter, when we go out. Yet we never really met many people at college. After reading Eric's article Male Angst I realize we are not the only ones who wonder why. My friend, Nicole and I are both fit blondes and don't have any problems picking up on guys if it is necessary, but actually it has never come to that. Even though it is 2002, girls still like it when guys make the first move. Now that doesn't mean using some lame pick-up line on the girl sitting next to you in class, college girls are too smart to fall for that. Since the guys at CSU i are also very intelligent why not use your brains to strike up an interesting conversation. Though the idea of a party always appeals to me, in fact love to throw them. But every time I do throw a party it requires some investing for drinks and appetizers and if you invite people that you don't know then you have to make sure that there is someone big enough to throw anyone out who causes a fight. Plus you have to make sure that no valuables are left out in case a thief happens to get word of the party, and we haven't even But she did something that most people at CSU rarely attempt; she sat at my empty table and started up a conversation. gotten to the idea of thé police coming. Because even though I like to give mankind the benefit of the doubt that these things won't happen I would be ignorant to believe that the possibility isn't out there. Anyone who has thrown more than one party of 100 people or more knows what I am talking about. Now don't jump to conclusions here, I am not against anything that Eric said I am here to give suggestions from a single girl's perspective. In fact I would like this to continue on to a weekly column. But it doesn't have to be for just single people. I think that the whole school could use some help on getting to know each other better. For those 21 and up, there are great clubs that host 'college night' in which anyone with a student ID gets a discount on drinks. For those under 21, we could have a weekly posting of the best movies out and plan a CSU night starting at a local restaurant and ending at the theatre. Yet the best way to meet people from CSU is at the cafeteria, even though I have never formed a relationship with anyone there, In fact the only person who actually suggested going out was a girl from Greenpeace, who didn't even go to college. She didn't 'pick-up' on me because I'm really only attracted to men. But she did something that most people at CSU rarely attempt; she sat at my empty table and started up a conversation. Luckily we had common interests. So she invited me to meet her friends at á club downtown that weekend She even wrote down the directions and time they were going. If a guy were to make the same effort I would have been even more willing to go. Yet there are two key things that guys should remember when taking such an approach, First, it is good to find a common interest and keep a conversation going for a little while, or wait until after you have met up with the girl more than once before asking her out. Second, girls feel more comfortable in groups, or if they are at least given the option to bring a friend. So ask her and her friends to meet up with you and your friends! Anyhow the first step begins with you; yes you, whoever you are. If you want to meet more people you have to approach them with some wit or topic of conversation beyond, "hey babe, you want to go to a party with me".

His roommate was the last one to see him last Wed. at 10:00 a.m. at their apartment. A junior majoring in communication and a snowboarder, Zíngaro was scheduled to attend CSUSM classes on Wed. but never showed up. In addition, he never went to work at Tony Roma's restaurant in San Marcos to what would have been his second day on the job. Before disappearing, Zingaro called his employer to let him know that he would be late because he needed to come to CSUSM. He said that he needed to make some arrangements for a class. "He called and said he was going to crash a class and he was running late," said one of Zingaro's co-workers. Although Zingaro has not been seen since last Wednesday, his belongings, which include schoolbooks, clothes, and his surfboard, are still in his apartment. Both of his parents have said that he is not the kind of person to disappear without calling and that he kept in close touch with them as well as with his younger brother. However, the police do not think there is anything unusual about his disappearance, other than that he has turned up missing. There is no suspicion of foul play. starting classes.
