Walk a mlle in another's shoes

By David Lanoue Let's face it. This wouldn't really be an editorial page without something written about Iran. This, however, isn't easy to do. What you are reading right now was written two weeks ago (because of deadlines) . Having no psychic powers, I cannot say what will be happening in Iran from one week to the next. The country and its leader are too unpredictable. Next to the Ayatollah, predicting horse races looks easy (at least at the track, you're working primarily with a horse's front end).

I will not attempt to judge the events in Iran except to say the obvious: The armed takeover of a foreign embassy and the threatening of its personnel is indefensible. So contrary is it to International Law that political allies oflran and enemies of the United States must side against Khomaini.

As an American, what interests me most (other than the safety of the hostages) is the American reaction to the incident. The extent of rage of the American people is almost surprising.

The crew ofthe USS Pueblo were held for a year by North Korea about a decade ago with no publicized anti-Korean rallies or burning of the North Korean flag.

Perhaps the difference is that there is more patriotism now than before.

supporters, they should not be abused for holding an opinion. Free expression of opinion (however unpopular) is as basic an America right as there is. If we do not allow free speech and assembly, even to Khomaini supporters , then all the American flags waved and all the Iranian flags burned won't cover up our hypocrisy.

Another disturbing ramification of the Iranian crisis is a type of prejudice against Middle- Eastern Moslems. The term camel-jockey, for exampl~, serves no purpose in rational discussion. It would be sad if this incident incites a prejudice against a people which continues after the crisis ends.

Fortunately, most Americans are moderate in their reactions . Although frustrated and angry, they understand that hate will not solve the problem (in fact, to a great extent, it is the problem).

Consequently, some good has also come with the crisis. The situation has shaken many people out of their complacency and into an interest in the world around them. Moreover, the embassy seizure has united Americans of all ages , races, and backgrounds in a manner which hasn 't been seen in years.

With much of the violence here in America centered around college campuses, it speaks well of the students here at Palomar, that our campus has been free of trouble . I hope that by the time you read this, the crisis has ended peacefully and the comments can be taken in retrospect. It is important that in either case Americans maintain their composure as admirably as they have so far.

Perhaps the difference is that the Iranian situation involves diplomatic (instead of military) personnel. The reasons for American anger are probably many (and certainly justified), but nonetheless unexpected. The reaction may have been equally unexpected by the Iranians.

A just cause alone does not excuse Like most expressions of rage, conse- lawlessness. The Iranians' claims of quences have not all been good. Iranians barbarism by the Shah, for instance, are in America have been subject to verbal backed up by substantial evidence, but and physical abuse. Often, the views of they don't justify blackmail, kidnapping the particular Iranian are not considered. and terrorism. The whole situation is sad, A large number of Iranians in America frustrating and maddening. But it is a totally disapprove of the embassy seizure. situation from which we, as a people, can But even if they are die-hard Khomaini learn and grow.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Student rebukes cafeteria Dear Editor, The cafeteria at Palomar College can no longer handle the number of people on campus during the lunch hours because of the lack of facilities. There are areas that need to be improved as follows: 1. There is a shortage of cafeteria personnel which causes congestion.

2. Because of the age of the college and its rapid expansion, the cafeteria can

no longer handle the people.

3. Selection of food is the same. There have been no changes in the menu and there is a lack of nutrition.

A recent survey indicates that 80 percent of the students at Palomar College feel that the cafeteria should expand its facilities .

Sincerely, Doug Coad

LETTER TO THE EDITOR 'Know ye what it is to be handicapped?'

Know ye what it is to be handicapped? It is to be something very different from the person of today.

It is to have a love of life untempered by tiny setbacks; it is to be very cognizant of differences, it is to be several inches too low for a phone- too high for a desk - and too wide for a doorway. It is to know the real difference between a 2 11 curb and a 5 11 curb, to know the real difference between sloping land and flat land, and to know the very real difference between a stairway and a ramp, a turnstile and an open doorway, a smile and a sneer.

It is to be conscious of subtlety, thankful for all we have, and aware of what we lack. It is to know the discomfort of asking for help, and the gratitude for receiving it. It is to not always be able to express your emotions, but always to have them. It is an opportunity for others to show their courage; it will take courage to offer help. It is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief, it is to eat a meal in the cafeteria to study hours for a test to enjoy some time in the swimmimg pool and be JUST PEOPLE, like the rest.

She then follows this with a quote from classrooms a book that she con- she attributed to Gish, "to deny this is to sidered overly friendly to the deny your science." evolutionists' viewpoint.

Referring to the second law of ther- examples serve to demonstrate a concept

incredible to non-physicists: that really the ordinary laws of physics, which they regard as the proto-type of inviolable precision, should be based on the statistical tendency of matter to go over into disorder ..

Living matter maintains a high degree of orderliness and evades the tendency to go into disorder by not being in a closed system. It exchanges material with its environment and directs a stream of orderliness upon itself in the form of foodstuffs , and thus succeeds through metabolism in freeing itself from all the entropy it cannot help producing while alive, which is mostly expended in the form of body heat.

A good example of a non-living system where there is a decrease of entropy, (and consequently an increase in order), is the growth of a crystal. The crystal grows by virtue of its loss of heat, or loss of disorder. Some creationists object by saying that the crystal would not form without the electrochemical properties of the molecules in the crystal. But virtually all scientists would agree that life would not have originated and evolved were it not for the electrochemical properties of the carbon atom. The creationists, ' therefore, have not shown any obstacles to evolution by invoking the second law of thermodynamics .

"Television corrupts reading ability."

"No one around here talks properly."

A round table discussion among various experts from several walks of life?

No. Just Dr. Roy R. " Pat" Archer freely expressing himself. Even in casual conversation, the listener is hard pressed to keep up with this multi-faceted person whose " Warshington" and "deeawg" pronunciations reveal his West Virginia upbringing.

A political science teacher at Palomar since 1963, Dr. Archer earned his Ph.D. from USIU in 1974.

He is married, lives in Escondido, and has three children Kraig, Shawnna and Tom. There, his conventionality ceases.

As Lieutenant Colonel Archer, he is the inspector general of the 40th Infantry Division, headquartered at Long Beach. His 24-year military association probably accounts for his hawkish views.

"The National Guard needs more people." He agrees that this is also

true of the regular armed forces and their reserves. "We need the draft for national security," he says. If the draft were reinstituted, Dr. Archer doesn 't beli eve there would be a msss exod us of draft-eligible persons, but, he says, " .. . a lot of people would demonstrate against it.

"The President and others need to show the need for a good-sized standing army. The Warsaw Pact is so powerful vis a vis NATO that if we want to protect Western E urope from the Soviet Union, we need to have a much larger standing land army that what we have. There hasn't been a threat in the past, because we were militarily able to protect Western Europe, but we are becoming unable to provide this protection."

To the suggestion that the Russian Army might be tied down keeping order among the increasingly independent Eastern European countries, Dr. Archer bluntly snorts, "Wishful thinking."

The teacher's thoughts turn from national security to his industrious bees, "I became fascinated with keeping bees about ten years ago.

Bees are remarkable insects. A year ago I got 1500 pounds of honey.

Normally, I have around 20 hives:" He a lso helps homeowners around Escondido by removing unwanted bee swarms. However, he emphasizes he picks up " ... bee swarms only and not bees in the house, because bees in a house are already established as a colony, and it's difficu lt, if not impossible, to get them out without tearing the walls out."

His model train layout is in the attic of his home. "I've never measured the square footage . .. It has over 40 switches and is over several rooms. It is the second largest '0' gauge train collection in Northern San Diego County. " He continually returns to his scouting role . He is the scoutmaster of "the largest and most active troop in Northern San Diego County .. .

my son , Kraig, recently became an Eagle."

As one might expect of a political scientist, Dr. Archer is also a politician. Unfortunately, for him , he is a member of the Democratic Party in a county renowned for its Republican Party strength . This fact was forcefully brought home to him in unsuccessful campaigns for the California Assembly in 1966 and 1968. He is the sponsor ofthe Young Democrats on campus and organized the Young Republicans , but "they decided a Republican should be the sponsor. " With a ll of these interests, it is not too surprising that Dr. Archer doesn't have time for television and, thus , has no television set. What is surprising is the reason . He believes that television reduces reading ability . He says the excellent reading attainments of his children lend credence to this belief. He does admit there is . . . "no reason to watch television since they took Battlestar Galactica off," but thinks that, "Buck Rogers has possibilities."

Soldier, scholar, teacher, Boy Scout, farmer, beekeeper, dog breeder, politician, train hobbyist-

they are all represented in this medium height, slightly rotund man whose blue eyes under bushy eyebrows watch the listener's fact to insure comprehension.

Anyone searching for information about one of Dr. Archer's areas of expertise can find him in his office in the Social Science building. But be forewarned ; once started talking about one of his areas of interest, Dr. Archer is eloquent, enthusiastic, and persuasive. The casual visitor may well find that he spends an hour when he had planned five minutes.

Two internationally known artists, Mauri ce Gray a nd Al Ching, will be featured at the Boehm Gallery through January 15, 1980.

The artists are experts in printmaking. and jewelry craft, respectively.

The credit for the production belongs to Ru"ssell Baldwin, director of Boehm Gallery who is responsible for the entire show. Baldwin claims that, "this show provides a rare opportunity to view work of two artists who haven't yet received deserved attention ."

Although the jewelry pieces are more readily appreciated , the mixed media prints are surprisingly appealing to viewers who are not involved with printmaking themselves.

The subject matter of several prints is sadistic a nd humorously perverse . Techniques include lithography, etching, serigraphy and colliagraphy.

Both Gray and Ching are presently on the Cal State- Fullerton faculty.

Each of them have entered countless national and invitational national exhibitions. The upcoming show at Boehm Gallery differs in that 85%of the material has never been seen.

Concludes Baldwin, "I am especially excited about this show because it presents two separate but elite areas of art." The gallery will be open for viewing Monday through Thursday 8 a.m.-8:50p.m ., Friday 8 a.m. - 4 p.m ., Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Pieces on display may be purchased .

Kennedy group seeks volunteers The Kennedy for President national organization is accepting volunteers to help organize the Iowa caucuses during Christmas break.

Those persons selected will work directly with the national organization performing duties which range from canvassing precincts to representing the senator at public functions .

forming a campus headquarters should contact the Kennedy for President campaign representatives immediately.

our Buses Go to College The North County Transit District has done its homework and is making sure that its buses are well schooled in filling the transportation needs of Palomar's students. And it doesn't take a math major to figure out that NCTD's $8 Studentpass for full time college students can save you a bundle.

Spikers take fifth •1n

By Kurt Loe

NET ACTION- Sylvia Quirk attempts to spike the ball past the outstretched hands of

Saddleback players in recent action.

(Pnoto by Kevin Cloh erty)

"We've had a great year," commen ted Coach Teri McFarland after her Comet volleyball team had returned from competition in the state tournament. Palomar finis hed fifth in the two day tourney held November 30 and December 1.

Before Pa lomar began play in the tournment, fo ur of their six starters were honored as All-Conference selections. Sue Machamer and Sy lvia Qui rk made the first team while Danna Bytomski and Cathy Vaughn were second team selections. Machamer was named Mission Conference "Player of the Year."

In the first match the locals faced number one seeded Long Beach City College, losing in two games 15-10 and 15-1.

Off to a fast start Palomar tallied the first three points on stuff blocks.

Nevertheless , the Vi kings rebounded with seven unanswered points.

Refusing to quit, the Comets pulled to within two points of the lead behind the hitting of Machamer and Kristy Trunk.

This wasn't enough, however, as the tenacious Viking squad held off the Comets for a victory in the first game.

Long Beach rolled to an easy 15-1 win in the second game to wrap up the match.

"They just played very well against us ," said Coach McFarland.

"Their block was awesome, and we just couldn 't pass the ball very well.

As a matter offact, after those three stuck blocks at the beginning of the game, I thought we might win it because we were playing very well. " Palomar rebounded quickly in their second match knocking off third seeded Santa Barbara 15-8 and 15-0.

Teri McFarland Palomar was eliminated from tournament play when they dropped two straight games to Golden West 15-8 and 15-3.

"They were a tough team a nd it was hard to stop them after th ey started serving cross court," sta ted McFarland .

Reflecting on her team 's performance throughout the season, sh e said , "This is by far the best team I've had since I've been here. We played well as a team all year long and although we had two returning MVPs in Quirk and Machamer, we worked well as a unit."

McFarland also had high praise for her other two sophom ores Bytoms ki and Joanne Kinghorn "They've given us solid and consistent play all year long. We've a lso received fine performances from many freshmen including J eni Shea, Kristy Trunk and Ali ce Farrell.

Women's field hockey Binns, Reyna named outstandingrunners Cagers talce two of four t takes fourth in ourney Stev~~n7~ntdtSo1~dadARey~a Having outscored their opponents 78-19 during the regular season , the women's fi eld hockey team figured to score a lot of points in the state tournament. However, they came up on the short end of the stick, losing both games and finishing in fourth place December 1.

In the opening round the Comets faced Northern California power De Anza and after a hard fought match fell to a 2-1 defeat.

In this game, Coach Judy Sanders felt it could have easily been 3-2 the other way. "We missed twice on a two on one fast break and that probably cost us the game."

The following day , the locals suffered one of their few shutouts of the year when they were defeated 1-0

by Ohlone.

"We dominated that game and had the ball in their territory threefourths of the time ," said Sanders.

"They scored on a freaky fast break."

She also felt that the heat and the regulation 100 yard field contributed to her team's fatigue the first day.

Reflecting on her team's performances this year she commented,
