O'Donnell defeats disabled stereotype

By Betty Hollman "Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are then we had supposed. "(W. Lutoslawski) "When God zapped me he wasn't cruel about it, I just can't get up and do the two step boogie anymore."

The two step boogie might be the only thing that John O'Donnell will admit to not being able to do. Since a motorcycle accident four years ago, which left him with no motor nerves in his legs, O'Donnell has set out to smash the stereotyped image of the handicapped person.

"The idea that people in

wheelchairs are not capable is a myth. And people who play that role for sympathy are just plain destructive. They help build the handicap stereotype." With a grin and a wave of his hand he adds, "You can put that down and I'll take on anyone who disagrees."

O'Donnell's broad shoulders and muscular arms might make one pause before answering that challenge. The physical as well as mental energy that radiates from the perpetually moving man has had plenty of outlets.

"I played football and baseball and swam in high school. After high school I saw the movie "Patton" and decided I wanted to be a tank man, so I joined the Army. They made me a tank commander. When I got out I

worked as a heavy equipment operator." With a Donald Sutherland smile he also admits to being a biker. "Yeh, I was a biker, but a clean one."

This need for physical activity was the road back to mainstream life after his accident which left him with multiple injuries. Anger and a feeling of not being able to relate to the people at the rehabilitation institute prompted O'Donnell to start lifting weights.

"I was bitter and very weak. It got so I just had to do something with my aggressions and depressions, so I started lifting weights everytime I got mad."

Being so strong willed and aggressive gave O'Donnell an edge

in developing an attitude that he could live with. He judges that it took about eight months before he could put his life into positive perspective and use his energies constructively.

"Knowing that if I could just focus on something good made me believe that it would all come together and make sense somewhere down the road."

sports program is just a year old and already has 140 participants.

"We've recently started up a bowling league. In order to be on it you have to have one person in a chair and one standing. We call it an Up and Down league. It makes for good socializing."

It was O'Donnell who brought up the motion at a PVA meeting to allow affiliate persons who were not in chairs into the program.

The "good" that he has chosen to focus on covers a multitude of activities. Being sports coordinator, "Sometimes it's nice to have a photographer and sitting on the standing person with you. Especialboard of directors for the Paralizecf ly if you're out in rough terrain.

Vice-president exists in shadows of office

By Debbie Grottke ASG vice president- a position often hidden in the sliadow of the president.

But the job entails much more than acting as president when he is not there. Indeed, one learns that there is much more to the job than meets the eye. Especially after learning how much personal time the current vice-president, Lisa Noonan, puts into her job.

ting the Graphic Arts Guild. I figured if I got into the government maybe I could change things."

things from their point oi view, especially after trying to start the Graphic Arts Guild. I'm sensitive to their needs."

She spends anywhere from eight to ten hours per week in her ASG office during her school breaks.

What exactly does the vice-president do? Not only does it give her the responsibility of acting as president, but also she oversees the senate, advises clubs, and acts as president of The Inter-Club Council.

She also enjoys meeting many of the people involved in the different clubs. She is very interested in learning about different cultures, and with the wide variety of ethnic clubs here at Palomar, it allows her to learn more without having to travel.

Raised in Encinitas, Lisa got her start in student government at Oakcrest Junior High. However, she did not continue bemg an active participant in ASG when she reached San Dieguito High School.

Rather, most of her time was spent with one of her loves - art.

Another duty that fell into Lisa's hands was being put in charge of the recent Mayfair Fashion/ Talent Show for which she had to get models and talent, fittings at a variety of stores, decorations, music and everything else that goes along with coordinating a fashion/ talent show.

Would Lisa like to become ASG president? " No. There is alot of stress involved and the president deals more with the administration.

I like being vice-president because I deal more with the students. I think I can help them more, because I see

Lisa returned to student government last fall when she was elected ASG legislator and more recently vice-president. " I became involved in ASG because I was not satisfied with the way the government was run at the time. Especially after I wasn't getting anywhere with star-

When Noonan has spare time at school she works toward her double major of photography and graphic arts. Her ambition is tostartherown advertising agency or work in publicizing public events.

Out of school she might be found anywhere there are people.

Because,as Lisa puts it, "I love crowds." She may also be found biking, horseback riding, walking on the beach at sunset And depending on what kind of mood she is in, listening to anything from classical to new wave music.

Traveling is also on Lisa's list of things to do. Hawaii, Australia, and Greece are among the top oi the list of places to visit. The ruins oiGreece are what attract her for the photographic possibilities. She would also like to see the rest of the United States as well as Europe.

Lisa feels that the apathy of students is one of the biggest problems at the junior college level and Palomar is no exception.

"Students sit back, don't do anything to change what they don't like, and then they pass the blame to others. I don't think they realize the tools they have to change things. All they have to do is make an effort."

Now that we have a better understanding of exactly what an ASG vice-president does, credit can now be given where it is deserved.

As for advice to the next vicepresident, "Don't come in with the attitude that it looks good on the resume. It requires alot of work, but you learn a lot."

Han/en concerned with unsung heroes

By Ellen Jewell "He's tough - but you learn something." That is the way one student describes him. Others simply stop with " He's tough!

He describes himself as independent, a free thinker, and an overachiever. Still others describe him as concerned, caring, and future oriented.

He is Charles J. Hanlen, chairperson of Social Sciences, an American History instructor and a full time faculty member since 1971.

Facetiously claiming to be "98," Hanlen was born in Harrisburg, Pa., over 40 years ago of Scotch-Irish parents. Although he often says he is Irish, he freely admits that "I'm about as Irish as that doorknob."

After his parents divorced when he was small, Hanlen lived with his grandparents for six years. Shortly after World War 2, he moved to New Jersey to live with his mother. "I only stayed there for six or seven years, just until I was old enough to

get out."

Hanlen " got out" at the age of"17 and a squeak," while still in the lOth grade by joining the Air Force. He trained as a mechanic, and was sent to Korea shortly after the Armistice.

Describing Korea as "not God's gift to the world," Hanlen liked that assignment, because "it was more relaxed and less regimented."

Altogether, he served three years, "which was two years and 364 days too long ... it was good for me. I grew up a little."

After his discharge, Hanlen says, "l got my big break when I was allowed to enter the University of San Diego. A couple of professors took an interest and encouraged me.

That's a good deed I try to pass onto my students." Hanlen received his A.B. and M.A. from USD in History with a minor in Philosophy.

Part of Hanlen's thinking is that "Being a teacher is the second greatest profession in the world.

Number one is being a full time

student." He jokingly says "I'll never forgive my parents for not being rich; because, I can't be a full time student."

After teaching junior and senior high school, Hanlen prefers the more sophisticated and professional atmosphere of the college level.

"I like to free wheel in my classes. I try to put history on a more human and realistic level than is possible with younger students. " In fact, Hanlen likes teaching so much that he really can't see any other future for himself.

Flying is one ofHanlen's hobbies.

He took it up about ten years ago after long and careful consideration to be sure it was something he really wanted to do. "The first time I went up, it scared the hell out of me."

Hanlen now owns and pilots a single engine, four-seater Comanche, and becomes indignantly

vocal in defense of general aviation. of legacy and responsibility.

Blind disc jockey broadcasts 'country' on KSM '99'

By Alvin Millard "A good morning to everyone. It's 8 a.m. right here on KSM99 in San Marcos, and I'm Milton J. Miller playing country music's top hits for you unti112 noon."

As the record spins, your feet tap to the beat One is unaware that the man behind the microphone is legally blind.

Miller is blind in his left eye and has 20/ 200 vision in his right. He wears glasses, but needs the additional help of a magnifying glass to read. "The magnifying glass is my third eye, because without it, I would surely be blind. It helps me see the printed word and it opens up the world of books to me."

"Country music is what I like to listen to, and when I started broadcasting, KSM99 didn't have a country music program. The station had rock, jazz, soul, punk and classical, but no country. Since a student is required to have a format for his or her radio program, I chose country."

Miller's country music program is a specialty program, because it falls outside the normal broadcasting format of KSM99.

He became interested in radio when his parents bought a CB radio

which he learned how to use. He liked to hear all the different "handles" that people were us1ng.

His CB buddies named him "Mr. Magoo" after the famous cartoon character of a man who repeatedly

got in and out of trouble because of his poor eyesight.

When he began college, Palomar's class in radio broadcasting helped him get a start in business. "Broadcasting is not what I want to do for a living. I have a greater interest in program management and the work behind the scenes."

When asked if there was any special equipment the KSM99 had to install for his use, he said, "No, because the dial and switch were big enough so that I could see well enough to use them."

"Getting a job will be the biggest step in my life. Some employers will think that a legally blind person would have some problems doing the kind of work for which he has been trained. I only want a chance to try; that's all, just the same chance as anyone else. Iii can't do the job, then I will say so and find ajobthatl can do. The only problem that I can see is transportation from home to job and back, because I can't drive a car with my eyesight."

Miller was born in Oceanside, after which his parents moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he lived until three years ago. After high

school he moved by himself to Vista and entered Palomar. He also has two brothers and a sister.

How much does his blindness affect him? Since he has been legally blind all his life he said he can't

compare the vision (20/ 20) that he has never had to the sight that he has now. "I think of myself as a normal college student witly the same ambitions and goals in life as anyone."

NEWS Researcher battles to save ozone shield

By Warren Hardy Don Blake, a former Palomar student, is now working with scientists in their effort to preserve the ozone shield surrounding the earth.

Blake, tall athletic and a candidate for his doctorate at U.C. Irvine, explains that "Chlorofluorocarbons is still a hot issue today. Dr. F.S. Rowland, who is my research advisor, alarmed the scientific world in 1974. His startling statement, based on findings in the laboratory, is that Freon used in aerosol sprays as a propellant can destroy the ozone layer.

"Ozone (03) equals one-millionth ofthe total atmosphere surrounding the earth, and has the perfect ability of absorbing ultra-violet radiation.

Without the ozone shield in the stratosphere (20 miles up), life on earth would be impossible. A five percent loss of ozone would result in a 30 to 40 percent increase in skin cancer in humans and a corresponding damage to plant life."

Rowland initiated heated public debates in the news media regarding the use of Freon in spray cans. It was estimated that in 1974, more than 800,000 tons of Freon was injected into the air in the U.S. alone. The chemical manufacturers maintained that scientists have no positive proof of ozone destruction from fluorocarbons.

Scientists argued that if it had gone thatfar, it would be too late.

Rowland won. Legislation was passed banning the use of Freon in spray cans in the U.S. Canada, Sweden, Norway and Denmark followed our example. But Europe and Japan did not. Freon is still used as a refrigerant..

Blake pictures the atmosphere as a huge mixing vat. "The gasses surrounding the earth act like a series of filters. Different wave lengths of solar radiation (gamma, X-ray, ultra-violet), are absorbed in layers at different altitudes."

"Tremendously complex interactions of physical processes are at work in these layers. In the stratosphere ozone is formed naturally by ultra-violet rays knocking apart atmospheric oxygen (02) into a single oxygen atom. This single atom then joins another (02) to make (03) or ozone. In this way ozone is poised in a delicate balance between creation and destruction."

"In this laboratory research is mainly concerned with ozone. When fluorocarbons reach the stratospheric level (two to five years) ultra-violet breaks the molecular bond releasing chlorine. Chlorine acts like a ''pirate atom" and steals an oxygen atom from the ozone. In this way the balance of nature is disturbed and ozone is destroyed."

"The diffusion of pollutants moves chiefly in the latitudes, that is from an east-west, or west-east direction. To analyze the sphere of gasses surrounding the earth in both the southern and northern hemispheres, we receive air samples in cannisters from the southernmost tip of South America, and as far north as Alaska, and points in between."

"Our main concern is to study compounds containing chlorine, the "Pirate Atom," examination of air samples consists in evaluating the proportions of compounds such as caroon tetrachloride. Freon, ethane,

O'Donnell overcomes disabled stereotype (Continued from page 1) Scholastically he is concentrating on law and physical education for the handicapped. Both are consistent with his goal of being a positive force in the lives of physically limited individuals .

The interest he has taken in law revolves around his own personal injury lawsuit which is still in the courts. By studying law he feels he can be of assistance to others who have suffered injuries for which they are seeking restitution.

He is ad-mant in his opinion that there is a need to turn handicapped children on to physical education.

With his usual straightforward approach he tackles what appears to be a favorite topic.

"Unfortunately, parents can be a kid's own worst enemy, because they are overly protective. A child who is hurt early enough in life is always hearing no, no, no you can't do that, you're in a wheelchair. Pretty soon the kid believes it."

You believe it when he adds , "That's where I want to kick in. I want to show them that they can do it."

O'Donnell's own fitness program includes swimming, lifting weights, organic gardening and as he puts it, "rolling a couple miles in the morning."

It doesn't seem to take much to motivate him. When he says, " I like to set goals for myself to prove people wrong," it's easy to understand why he felt compelled to build a road up to his organic gardening class.

"The path is pretty bad so my instructor would have to lay a road with ply wood and nails for me. I

know the budget is tight, so I just figured it would be best to do it myself. Besides now other wheelchairs can get up there."

How did he accomplish this feat?

He replies simply.

"With a broken off hoe. I scooped, shoveled, raked. That's about it."

There are some problems that he can't fix with a broken hoe. Jobs for the handicapped population is one.

It is also high on O'Donnells list of pet peeves. Pushing his fingers through his hair he zeros in on the topic.

"People try to be big hearted about giving the handicapped a job. I realize that it is done with good intentions, but what they ought to do is drop the attitude that they are doing us a favor. They are not doing us a favor."

Obviously fired up by the subject he continues, "We want work that we are capable of doing. Work that is competitive and offers chances for advancement. And if we do get a break, we shouldn't have to go up and shake that man's hand every day."

O'Donnell's own career goal goes back to his need to focus on "something good." Ironically he hopes to build his dream with the money he might receive from his injury lawsuit. A smile forms a nd his large hands help him describe the handicapped ranch that h as become his focus .

"I want to start a handica pped ranch where nobody will be pampered. Even if they think they can't do it, I'll try to figure out a way that they can. We won't ha ve an y loafers there."

With a satisfied sigh he says, "I'll be there to help them. That's why God kept me here."

Renaissance art on display Original interpretations of arts and crafts from the Renaissance to the Twentieth Century are on display in the Palomar main library through June 11.

Inspired by slides, books and discussion, history of art students at the college created works as semester projects using various media such as clay, stone, metal, wood, papier-mache, pen and ink, mosaic, glass, fresco and paint.

\

Choosing either the original art medium, a suitable substitute or a totally new medium , each student duplicated actual works of art or rendered free interpretations of a former style. The art objects in the show range from paintings, drawings and sculpture to craft objects.

methane and others in a volume of air.

"This is done by trapping and separating molecules in "U" shaped columns containing a packing material. The packing material effects the slowing down of larger molecules. Liquid nitrogen is also used to slow down and even totally block a certain gas from passing through the column. This information is transmitted by an electric impulse to a chart recorder for analysis."

Blake, while closely watching the chart recorder remembers, "My early interest in chemistry was greatly stimulated by stories of its practical application as told by Jim Dodin of Escondido High School and Ernest Shiwanov here."

"The story which struck me was

told by Shiwanov about an electric power plant down the coast which used a low sulfur fuel in the day time, and a cheaper high sulfur fuel at night. The smoke from the high sulfer fuel contained sulfur dioxide which mixed with the dew in the air forming sulphuric acid. (H2S04).

Roofs and automobiles in the area and their paint were chewed up. The effect of this and other stories acted like a catalyst on me. The more I studied, the more interested I became, and so here I am."

It could be said that Rowland and Blake are the "Cousteaus" of the stratosphere, serving to counterbalance the rape of the earth by industrialists, and without which life on our space ship might cease to be.

ty, volunteering many hours of her time to various creative endeavors such as " .. . teaching a class at Grant Junior High for the children. I can find the time for my community, even though I don't actually live here," admits Garzon.

What about the financial cutbacks that are being felt by the various department? "We started cutting back three years ago after Prop. 13" explains Garzon. "We've had four sabbaticals and no replacemtnts in three years with less hourly courses.

The fact that we don't have the money has never stopped us. We will always continue to create and help."

Garzon has many honors, cer-

tificates, and award plaques adorning her multicultural walls . "All of them are special, and they each mean something special to me. I do feel fortunate to be able to serve, to help people, to give my heart. I'm only an instrument of God. To me, this is not a job where you would wait to pick up the check, it's much , much more ," enthuses Garzon.

"I enjoy being here and working with all these fine people. That's why I drive 110 miles every day, because I really believe in the community and I encourage the future generations. I've seen them in the classrooms, and I know they're going to change."

Harmonious interaction and a true awareness are the tools Luz Garzon uses to reach the goals set for herself and for her students. "I treat each student as a unique individual, with unique needs, individual potentials, and individual creativity which is fantastic."

multicultural interaction

By James Troyk

Upon entering Luz Garzon's Mul¡ ticultural Studies Office, one enters a visual menagerie of exotic treasures from around the world.

African masks donated by travelers, Spanish dress costumes, Indian headdresses, bronze figurines, Japanese ceremonial teacups, feathers, Chinese lanterns, masks, mobiles, everything ... is what makes it "universal," exclaims Luz Garzon.

Born on the outskirts of Guadalajara, Jalisco; Mexico in 1946. "When I was eight years old, my parents came to the United States to find a better horizon for their children. Our family nucleus has always been very strong, united, traditional. I come from a Third World country of hard working, struggling agricultural people. There were difficulties in learning the language, being accepted by others, and arriving from a small farming province into a large city," says Garzon .

There were many forms and ideas that influenced her at the time. "My grandparents were a tremendous influence in my life, but my parents more than anyone else always insisted that we become educated.

This has been my motto: perseverence equals success. This is what I tell everyone."

"I attended 12 years of private school, San Diego Cathedral High.

My parents were very traditional, very Catholic, and they had to sacrifice a lot . . . but it was something they felt was necessary.

Religion is the nucleus of my life. I never really feel alone because God is with me," avows Garzon.

"Mter graduating from high school in 1965, I married my husband, Humberto the same year. I first attended Ventura College and when my husband found a job selling cars, it allowed me the opportunity to return to school."

"We moved from Oxnard to Chula

Vista and I started at Southwestern College,"with a pleasant remembering lilt in her voice. "At Southwestern, I had excellent role models. Weâ&#x20AC;˘had the first group of MEChA in 1968, that I had ever been associated with as a student. I was very interested in languages, and I was finding out a lot of things that had a new, different perspective- a proud perspective through Ethnic Studies." Luz Garzon saw hope and knew that she was going to make it.

"I developed my own bilingual teaching method at St. John's Montessori school in Chula Vista, primarily for pre-kinder, kindergarden, and grammar aged children. I was like a little kid in a candy store. I wanted to do wonderful things, and I feel this is where my mission started," observes Garzon.

"After working at the Linguistics Department at UCSD for two years, I came to Palomar in 1974. I was very much into creating and finding new methods of teaching, and I really didn't consider money."

My goal has always been to teach the students why they were learning their language, not just to repeat it" continues Garzon . "The Multicultural Department originated with students , not faculty members.

It was students wanting , needing, and screening the future teachers that they would have."

Garzon has develop ed and organized many new varied classes since arriving here. "It usually comes out of the necessity to have a new class. We all have to continue to evolve, to grow , to learn, and to change. I teach my classes like it would be the only one that the student would take," remarks Garzon . "Something that will involve the student in a meaningful way, to develop themselves, and find out what their true potentials really are."

She is very active in the communi-

FUN, COMPETITIVE, DANGEROUS

Frisbee captures imagination "I was on the freeway, about 5 p.m. going near 40 m.p.h. on my Honda motor. Something caught my eye off on the shoulder. The object was shiny and appeared to be a frisbee. I pulled off on to the shoulder and went against traffic to retrieve the object. I was right. It was a frisbee. It was silver and almost brand new, It's about the best frisbee I've ever owned."

This was an actual incident recalled by Frank Tycer, "Natural Frank" as his friends know him.

Tycer has been an avid frisbee player all of his life and really enjoys the sport to the fullest . "If there's a disc or paper plate around on the beach I can't resist, I throw it," says Frank.

He lives in a leucadia beach house with a wall in his room dedicated to frisbees or other disc objects that have a certain meaning in his life. The rest of the room is covered with Frank's air brush paintings that he does himself for profit and pleasure.

Frisbee playing isn't i11st a fun pastime, it can be a very competitive sport if one is good enough.

Frisbee golf is one of the competitions Frank likes to get into.

Frisbee golfis based on the game of golf. There are 18 holes, with a par 3 or 4 on every hole.

Instead of a little white ball, a frisbee is used. To hit the flag is the object of the sport. There are many obstacles, such as trees, rocks, and hills, just like on a real golf course.

Par for the course is 54, Frank's best is 34. Frisbee golf courses found throughout California. There's one in San Diego!

Frank has some favorite human and non human players. Bruce Crownover is Frank's favorite human frisbee partner. George, is a black Labra dor, who in Frank's words"can catch a frisbee better than any human I know. George can jump and ca tch my hardest throws, six to seven feet in the air."

There also is another nonhumanplayer, "Zork". Zork has seven arms and reportedly came down from the sky one day in frount of Frank. " He could spin the frisbee on all seven arms. It was unbelievable, and then just like he came he was gone. There's one thing I would like to say, "Zork and Lippy Dewey, the unknown artist is alive and living in leucadia."

Frank recalls one of his most memorable experences. "We were hitchiking up to Mt. Watermen to go skiing. We skied all day and had a great time. At the end of the day we made sure we were the last ones on the lift and went back up the mountain. When we got off, instead of going back to the parking lot we skied down the back of the mountain and found a good spot.

The scenery was spectacular. The spot where we were overlooked L.A. It was just getting dark and you could see the city lights, and the sun was just setting. We broke out the wine, cheese and frisbees and had the best time in our lives."
