speaker for "Inside the Executive's Chair," a Business 482
class held every Friday from 11
a.m. to 12:50 p.m. in Academic
Hall, room 102. The class consists of a series of questions
from the instructors, students,
and members in attendance, all
directed at different aspects of
business, to the different guest
speaker every week - this week's
guest was Coffman.
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. Lewes Bodybuilding Championship. Coffman has
eight years of experience as an
aerobics instructor and also won
third place in the 1996 Corvalis
Ironman.

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

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

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

the

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

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

After her presentation, she
allowed for questions from the
audience and offered advice to
students.
"Pile all of your dreams into

while you are at it! As Chavez is

is the university of a chance for

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.

By TERESA MCNULTY
Staff Writer
I guess acting like a jackass
when going to Jackass: The
Movie is appropriate. 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

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

movie do you want to go to
then?"
While waiting in line for the

Punch Drunk Love is labeled
a romantic comedy, but is unlike

story. It plays on your emotions

portrays a lonely and repressed

Barry Egan who can't seem to
find love.

lifestyle j s a result of the torment
and immense emotional abuse
that his seven sisters so generously dished him growing up.
His successful scheme to get f requent flyer miles from the purchase of "Healthy Choice;" food
items {which is something a reallife person did) and his struggles
with being an introverted social
misfit and having a nervous disposition are things which did not
keep Lena Leonard from wanting to be iii his life.
Barry's inability jto function normally and have normal
relationships with the opposite
sex come under direct and blunt
scrutiny from his sisters. Barry
then meets a woman who has a
unique interest in him, despite
having been friends with his
sister who doesn't speak kindly
of him.
Emily Watson is the mysterious love interest in the film as
Lena Leonard. Watson is also
known for her performances in
Breaking the Waves and Angela's Ashes. Lena wanders into
Barry's life at a most unusual
time, but she definitely gives him
direction and hope. She helps
Barry to face some of his darkest fears and emotions that in his
past have pushed him to the point
of raged fits of anger and physical aggression towards objects
like a restaurant bathroom and
windows at his sister's house.

The film will without a doubt
leave audiences feeling differently about Sandler's acting
abilities as well as satisfied with
another spectacularly directed

they are not looking for a cookie

the unexpected and enjoy the

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

San Marcos won the men's cross
country competition and the
women's team came in as the runners-up at the Titan Invitational
at Carbon Canyon Park in Brea
on Friday Oct. 25th. The Cougar
men were led by sophomore
Rene Reyes, who dominated the
men's individual 8K race with his
first place finish. The CSUSM
women were once again paced by
the fabulous frosh, Anne Marie
Byrne, who finished seventh in
the women's 5K.
The CSUSM men's team won
the team championship with 24
points, ahead of second-place
UCLA. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA) ranked the men's team
4th nationwide. There were 76
runners and seven teams who
participated in the tournament.
"Overall, the whole group ran
personal best times for the season.
The course was prettyflat,but the
grass was pretty mushy and slippery, which made it a bit difficult
to run in," described Camille
Wilborn, a CSUSM senior from
Rancho Buena Vista High School
in Oceanside.

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 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

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!

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?
