This show was produced in the Palomar Television Studios by Telecommunication students in Dana Hawkes' Television and Producing class last spring.

Documentary features staff and

clients of the Escondido Mental Health Clinic. It is an insightful look at the illness, schizophrenia. Interviews with actual patients explore the effects of the illness both on the individual and the family.

A similar show this year was the San Diego Em my Award for Student Production. This was in competition with all two and four year colleges in the county.

'A no-win situation,'

-Scheidt Despite 19,000 students, a large curriculum and a curtailed budget, Palomar is handling the strain.

Dr. Omar H. Scheidt, president district superintendent explained, "Students before had a wider variety of classes to choose from, and would choose the plan that would fit their hours. Now the hours are not spread and they have to make the decision of attending classes that were not in their previous plans. The students are filling up the classes, so we should have more student contact for a full time teacher this year."

"Instead of facing a large number of small classes, we will have more classes with 20, 25, or 30 students, so we are actually becoming more efficient when you look at the enrollment.

"I am very disappointed with the process used to delete classes from the program," said Dr. Scheidt. "I believe that the state board is going to re-evalute the process.

"One of our problems was to reduce our budget by $30 million.

The State Board of Education:J.instead of trying to define specific classes in a program that would not be popular, used the $30 million as a guide and kept cutting in the different programs until the goal was reached.

"Real Estate, for example, was cut with the idea that a person who wants, or needs a brokers or escrow license should pay for the training.

"To me you could look at the other programs in the college and use the same rationale," pointed out Dr. Scheidt. "It should have been the local board. They could give us the board guidelines saying we will no longer support these programs and then let us evalute the local needs.

"Family and consumer sciences were hit hard with 17 classes cut out.

According to the state chancellor's hit list, if a person was interested in J azzercize, stitchery or other self help programs, he or she should have to pay for them and not the school.

Some of the classes were able to transfer to adult education.

Dr. Scheidt further explained, "Classes that are accredited on the university level. where a person is dedicated to adegree,are accepted by the State Board. However, those same classes here at Palomar are not accepted for credit because of the low number of students who are working for a certificate or AA. "The state board made the statement that they were not going to cut or attack the athletic programs. But they did. They cut archery and badminton. We have to give up our national championship team because archery is not a part of athletics.

"Trying to figure a budget is a no win situation. By law the college budget has to be complete by June 30. However the chancellor's office does not start closing their books until the last of June. They notify us that they will not fund certain classes, then we have to start all over again .

By law we have to notify the teacher that we no longer need them

by March 15. Then in June the state board informs us that they will no longer fund certain classes. We then have to pay the teachers for the coming year, even if they have to sit in the library.

"I wish that I could say what classes will be effected next year," said Dr. Scheidt, "but I can't."

Board rules on parking stickers Students are now required, by the Board of Trustees, to place their parking sticker on the lower left hand corner of the wind shield .

The Department of Motor Vehicle says that it shall be in the lower left, or right five inches of the windnsield.

I do not believe the Board did their home work.

Do to the construction of the new cars, vehicles built since the 1960 models, have a more streamlined windshield . This makes it difficult to comply with the law. At the end of the semester it will be harder

to remove.

The only place that the sticker on the front of the car will be seen easily will be at the front gate.

However, students are not allowed to park in that area . 95 % of the parking on campus is nose in . If the campus patrol wants to look at the sticker for any reason, it will cause the patrol person undo hardships.

If the board would put the sticker on the rear window the patrol person would be able to see two rows of cars at one time . It also would allow the old sticker to be easily removed.

Social Sciences overcome cuts, crowding problems Enrollment in the Social Sciences has always been a staple of most colleges. Every student needs some knowledge of history, economics and polictics.

Just how do our Social Science classes compare to those of a university or a state college? To many students planning to transfer to a university level, quality is of particular importance. Social Sciences at Palomar must be on the same academic level as the Social Sciences at any other college, or the transfer student is at a disadvantage.

"While it is true that a community college can not possibly match the money or the vast number of doctorates available to a university" says Charles Hanlen, chairperson of the Social Science Department, "that does not mean that it can not match the education provided.

Furthermore, there are some advantages at a small school which can not be had by a university."

"Chief among these advantages is the one-to-one relationships between students and instuctors. On many campuses the students number up to 200 for a single lecture class. Getting

EOPS transfer center opens The idea of a transfer center for students has existed for a long time.

The idea was simplicity itself, a place where transfer students could meet with representatives from their college of interest from whom they could receive one-on-one counseling and advising regarding their academic major, along with other information essential to the sometimes elaborate transfer process.

With a few adornments, a little polishing and some concentrated effort, the EOPS TRANS/ SEND project has taken this simple idea and turned it into the Transfer Center, a place where students and representatives from SDSU, UCSD, National University and other fouryear institutions can gather and meet on a regularly scheduled basis.

Students planning to continue their formal education beyond Palomar needing first-hand information regarding the transfer process should stop by TCA-3 or call extension 2234. A TRANS/ SEND representative is looking forward to meeting student transfer needs.

in touch with the instructor is difficult or next to impossible.

"There have been many of the same problems to face this year: lack of money, crowded classes and limited space," continued Hanlen.

"Doubtless these problems will continue to plague the department as they have other departments."

Faculty -displays works in gallery Art faculty paintings, sculptures, photography, and printmaking are on display until October 12 in the Boehm Gallery.

Russell Baldwin, gallery director, with the help of Karen Warner, set up the exhibit.

Due to budget cuts the gallery will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays only.

The gallery was named for Dwight Boehm, director of Humanities in 1964. Since its inception in 1965 the gallery has had over a quarter of a million vistors to view the gallery.

"The gallery needs your support or it might close, either temporarily or for good," said Baldwin. "It also might close for refurbishing, but the future is unpredictable with the budget the way it is."

4 _ _._SP-ORTS Gridders split two: host Antelope Valley The Telescope, Friday, October 1, 1982

Mendez' 'best team' beats Rio Hondo, loses to Orange Coast

By Mike Pedretti Splitting their initial two games, the football squad will play their home opener tomorrow when they host Antelope Valley.

The game (1 :30 p.m. at Vista High School) follows a 29-6 rout over Rio Hondo and a loss to Orange Coast in which head coach Mario Mendez' team outplayed its opponent only to lose 7-5.

Mendez has called the team the best he has had at Palomar in four years, and there was an abundance of optimism during the summer workouts. ''I'm looking forward to a winning season ," said Mendez. "We have a real good group of hard working players and everybody has a good feeling about this season."

Defensive backfield coach Mark Eldridge, who has coached the Comets for eight years added, "This is the best team we've had here in all the year's I've been coaching."

Clearly, it is the defense, with lineman Felix Pauu, linebackers Tim Last and John O'Sullivan, and deep man Mike Fayak contributing strong efforts which has been the highlight thus far. They held Orange Coast and Rio Hondo to minus-20 yards rushing and an average of only 82 yards of total offense a game.

But the offense has also shown some firepower. Quarterback John Peterson has thrown for 314 yards, mostly to wide receiver Pat Lane, who has caught 15 passes.

In a bizzare September 17 season opener, in which the game's only touchdown occured on a recovered fumble in the end zone after a blocked punt, the Comets outplayed OCC, only to suffer the tough loss.

"I'm dissappointed that we lost, but not with the way we played," noted Mendez.

Lane and the Palomar defense were the bright parts of the match, played at LeBard Stadium before 1,500 fans. Lane nabbed eight passes for 64 yards, and the defenders held the Pirates to 52 total yards.

But the key error was the bad center snap and ensuing blocked punt that enabled OCC's Roger Roelle to fall on the football in his own end zone mid way through the first quarter.

The Comets fought back. After that miscue, the team "played like a football team" according to Mendez.

Using Peterson's short passes, the offense recorded 14 first downs to OCC's seven. Peterson completed 19 of 35 passes for 169 yards.

Led by Pauu, linebackers Gino Marchese and Scott Weller (eight tackles), the defense held the Pirate offense to minus-one yard rushing.

Coast quarterback Greg Denham was sacked 14 times and threw for only 53 yards.

"Our defense played a tremendous game," said Mendez. "You've got to give (defensive assistants) Vern Ellison, Steve Kocheran, and Eldridge all the credit."

No less deserving of credit is Lane.

The Vista High sophomore, who played with a nearly broken hand, grabbed most of his receptions in heavy traffic.

On Sports Notes from around the Palomar sports scene ...

If, as they say, variety is the spice of life, the Palomar athletic program should be the most torrid thing around this fall.

Major changes, mostly stemming from the almighty dollar, have already been put into effect.

The biggest alteration is the new league structure. With the exception of the football and wrestling squads, the Comets will coni pete in the new Pacific Coast Conference.

The new league was adopted and the old Mission Conference abandoned to help lower travel expenses, and it appears as if the PCC will be very competitive.

Palomar will face four new opponents in its league competition MiraCosta, San Diego Mesa, Gross- . mont, and Imperial Valley. It's been 13 years since the Comets and the neighboring Spartans have participated in the same conference and we should see some interesting battles, especially in baseball, basketball, and volleyball.

It seems that Reaganomics and Proposition 13 are getting the very best of us. Mter the women's and mixed archery teams won the National title in May under coach Mildred Ayers, severe fiscal restraints placed on the Palomar College District forced their elimination.

Coach John Woods wrestlers , fourth best in California last season, will now be grappling in the fall.

Usually, the sport was played during the winter, spanning two semesters. Mter a vote by the coaches around the state last spring, the new format m a kes it easier for the four-yeer colleges to recruit for the spring semesters.

The gymnasium, which received a new, insulated ceiling and the Wallace Memorial Pool, which was resurfaced and repainted, also contribute to the "new look" in athletics.

*** Come watch the football game tomorrow. The Comets look like a winning team. The defense has played near-perfect ball and Pat Lane could be the best receiver in the Mission Conference. It should be a good contest, and after all, the Junior College players are not on strike.
