president/assistant superintendent of Business Services, "We are trying to decide what would be the least painful of the areas."

Under consideration for the spring cuts are: salary matrix freeze; across-the-board salary schedu le reduction; increased certificated staff teaching load; reduction of district cost of fringe benefits; layoff of certificated and classified staff; reduction and elimination of programs; and reduction of ADA (average daily attendance) to below the CAP (limit of enrollment in which the state will pay.)

The program review and budget committees have been asked to complete their reports by December, says Scott.

"Faculty representatives have very mixed reactions in choosing between the salary matrix freeze and salary reductions," Scott points out.

"The freeze would eliminate the increase in pay per year which is part of the ¡ current schedule contract. The freeze would reduce the salary of 75 percent of the contract staff.

"Salary reductions could reduce the actual amount of money the faculty received last year. Faculty reps have thoroughly indicated they don't support either action.

"However, they would support an increase in teaching load before they would prefer any action on salaries and benefits. These are the positions of the staff as presented to the Board of Trustees last month."

Scott's biggP.st concern is, "We might not be able to wait until January to make some of these decisions, because we are spending the money now. And therefore, we lose the opportunity to save that money between now and January.

"For example, it would require a larger across-the-board salary reduction or more extensive layoffs.

The longer we wait the more constrained we are in what we can reduce, because there will be less dollars to work with."

While some community colleges are considering bankruptcy, because further cuts would destroy their programs, Scott believes that Palomar is not in a position to consider it. "Bankruptcy has not been discussed by the administration, budget committee and the Board of Trustees as an alternative."

Areas hardest hit by the cuts so far are the certificated and classified hourly staffs. Scott indicates that these areas have "A direct impact on classes because it eliminates teaching time."

It has also affected the areas of Instruction and Student Mfairs. According to Dr. Theodore Kilman, vice-president/assistant superintendent for Instruction, "Every single program has been profoundly affected by the budget cut in terms of supply, equipment and staff hours.

Since July $288,000 has had to be reduced in just Instruction."

Over 90 class sections have been eliminated in Humanities (34); Science, Technology and Business (20); Vocational Education (30); and Continuing Education (10).

In Humanities, classes cut include sections of Spanish as a Second Language, Philosophy, Psychology, American Indian Studies, English, Music, Dance, Art and African Studies.

For Science, Technology and Business, sections were eliminated (continued on page 3)

Tuition may offer solution to community colleges

By Polly Filanc Tuition for community colleges is a very real and controversial possibility, and may become a fact of life.

In an age of perpetual inflation, tuition may be the only solution for the surviva l of community co lleges .

Those who benefit from a tuition-free institution may have to accept paying a minimal user's fee to help support the system. This only seems fair.

With tuition in force, further cuts in classes, supplies and equ ipm ent may be curtai led, so that community colleges could continue to maintain a high quality of education.

Also, if the tuition cou ld be deposited directly in to local college funds, colleges would be able to have more control of how the money is spent, therefore elimin ating some of their dependence on the state.

FORA FEW

GOoPMEN ...

Tuition can be viewed as an investment in the future. Whether a student's goal is to transfer to another coll ege, develop voca tiona! skill s or obta in a degree, the fee is somewhat incidental.

Opponents of the tuition fee say that more studen ts would be denied access to community colleges because of economic reasons.

Students shou ld not be denied a postsecondary education because of financial problems.

Perhaps a sma ll percentage of the tuition cou ld be used to help those students who show need.

Ever since Proposition 13, community colleges have had to cutback tremendously on their expenses, and more recently, have had to re-evaluate their trad iti ona ll y free educationa l system .

At one time Governor Deukmejian said that "Education will take the highest priority." But, now, the governor's words have proven to be just a lot of hot air, since the issue of tuition fees has been used as a political football between the governor and¡ the state assembly.

Even though the idea of tuition fees has caused mixed reactions, more and more people are beginning to accept its probability.

Maybe the political seesaw battle between the governor and legis la tors will finally help people realize that it is time to bring local control back to community colleges.

Who suffers? Students are being shortchanged because of cuts in classes, services, supplies, and other areas that are essential to help students reach their highest potential.

If tuition fees are loca li zed, community col leges would not be left dangling because of a few irresponsible elites in our state government.

Commentary

Grassy graffiti goes too far

By Sarah Grimes I will defend anyone's right to freedom of expression, but the obscenity that was scratched on the front lawn of this college was graffiti gone too far.

Last month, someone had carefully taken the time and effor t to carve out a comment or command, I'm not sure which, into the grassy slope where th e name Palomar has been landscaped. In doing so, property was destroyed and much of the student and loca l population was offended.

The epithet was not on ly cr ude and pointless, but it was unimaginative as well.

Besides being bereft of morals and good sense, it seems to me that the perpetrator is

burdened with a limited vocabulary. Certainly if one has the passion and desire to make an editoria l co mment on our front lawn, there are more original messages to use than the tired, overused four letter variety.

Please don't get me wrong. I do not support anyone defacing college property.

But I especially condemn this senseless act because the message was so crass and featured so prominently. Whoever is guilty of this vandalism has displayed a paucity of spirit and intellect.

In the future, I suggest that this inarticulate ugliness be confined to the usual arena for such lang uage - the gutter.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH- How do you feel about paying tuition for community colleges?

Tab Brewer: If they would quit cutting classes, then I wouldn't mind paying the fee .

It'd be all for the better if the quality and quantity of classes were improved.

Scott Haugh : If you paid by class, say $10 a class, it would be fairer to the students who are just attending part time.

Cathy Somers: I' m sorry to see California give up its comm itmen t to free education. But I'd rather see community colleges survive with tuition than watch them c lose because of lack of funds.

Kenny Kirsh man: The fee would eliminate people who aren't serious about college.

It would get rid of the Audents who just come to school because they have nothing better to do.

Ed Shade : $100 isn't too bad, but that would be just the beginning . The fee would keep rising, year after year.

Applications • open spr1ng RN program

By Melanie Anderson Beginning this month through December 1, the Palomar nursing program will be re-opening and accepting applications for spring enrollment.

To qualify for this application to the two-year RN program, a student must have completed or be in the process of completing the one, to one and a half years of math and science prerequisites upon entering the nursing program. .

New curriculum changes in the program have added two more prerequisites, Nursing 1 and Nursing 2, to be completed before entry into the program. Nursing 1, a lecture and lab class , involves basic nursing skills. Nursing 2, lecture only, involves nursing process, in an overview of the nursing program.

While in the program, students receive four semesters of clinical experience as well as campus activity and lectures instructed by fulltime nurses.

Upon graduation, students receive an AAdegree with a major in nursing and are eligible for an RN licensing exam.

"They (student nurses) are trained in all aspects of patient care and are capable of working in any department of a hospital," says Charrie Deuel, staff assistant.

Clinical skills, which are taught two days a week in North County hospitals , are part of the program which also features seminars, labs, and audio visual work in the Learning Center.

Surprisingly enough, with enrollment limited to only 30 people per semester, the waiting list is not long.

Openings are available for those students who have no medical background, or are licensed vocational nurses , medical t!ore personnel, or psychiatric technicians.

70 scholarships awarded students

By Kim Bounds Is anyone wondering where all the scholarship money went last year?

Well, wonder no more.

Over 70 scholarships were awarded to Palomar students, ranging from $50 to $4000.

More recently, the California PTA scholarship of $150 was awarded to Janice Cook. Also , a new scholarship was awarded for the first time this past semester, the George Parker Memorial, sponsored by the Association of Energy Engineers.

This was awarded to Ruth Peterson and Timothy Shell who each received $500 and a plaque at an award dinner held recently in Point Lorna at the Admiral Kidd Club.

The Nursing Department will award the Palomar Voiture Unit Number 1406 Scholarship of$500 to Ellen Papiak. To qualify for this award one must be enrolled in a two year nursing education program.

Admission deadlines for San Diego State University are fast approaching. Deadline for fall, 1984 registration is November 30. Persons applying to State can pick up an application at the North County office or at the main office in San Diego.

Those students still interested in applying for spring, 1984 at San Diego State can still apply if their major is not closed. For information on State applications call 471-0210.

For further information concerning financial aid at Palomar, call the Financial Aid Office at 744-1150, Ext. 2366, or drop by during their regular office hours.

KSM sets trends: moves to more versatile format

FOR REAL- Artist Karen Jossel will exhibit her money art in the

Boehm Gallery October 26 through November 21.

Artist has new medium; makes art out of money "Works on Money" by California artist Karen J ossel will be presented by the Dwight Boehm Art Gallery October 26 through November 21.

J ossel has found a new use for the shrinking dollar- instead of trying to make money out of art, she's making art out of money -literally.

The artist explains: " Here is a material that in and of itself has been steadily losing value. There is an implicit irony in making money into the object of art."

The collection of over 60 works reflects a fragile and poetic aspect in

the composition of thread, pencil and paint.

"Works on Money" has been exhibited previously at the ARCO Center for Visual Arts , Los Angeles; the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System , Washington , D.C.; California State University, Northridge; and at various art galleries throughout California.

Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. For more information, please call 744-1150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2302.

A merican Indian Studies Certificate is established Recognizing a growing field of study, Palomar has established a new Certificate of Achievement Program m American Indian Studies.

The certificate is theresultofthree years' work and was part of the department's five-year plan. It is a major goal of the plan, whose further goals include establishing an additional American Indian Education Center to join the existing facility at the Pauma Reservation and establishing an American Indian Museum and Cultural Center.

To earn the certificate, a student

must complete four required courses : Introduction to American Indian Studies, Prehistoric Cultures of North America, The History of the American Frontier and the Indian Policy in the Making, and American Indians Today.

In addition, two electives are required from a list of courses covering American Indian art, philosophy, history, education, politics, law and medicine.

For further information, contact American Indian Studies, Palomar Community College, San Marcos, California, 92069, or call 744-1150, Ext. 2425.

By Chris Reyno lds "Trend-setting is what college radio stations are all about," says John Savidge, program director of KSM, Palomar's radio station.

Two years ago, KSM changed its format to a new style of programming before other commercial radio stations saw it as the "wave of the future" and did the same.

"Last year our success skyrocketed. 91 X was and is our main competition," says Phil Drenth, music director, "and they have basically done what we did two years ago , so we are altering our programming to offer our listeners something different. We are going to stay away from the techn o-pop, synthesized dance music, and opt instead to play music that is more intellectually inviting. We will play dance music, but we want to be more versatile.

"The new sound wiJ.!. emphasize new psychedelia, reggae, hard-core, tasteful gold of the 50's and 60's, rock-a-billy and music from the British rock invasion of the 60's.

Progenitors of today's music."

KSM's play list inventories artists

fr, Neil Young to Peter Gabriel to Oingo Boingo.

"We have a loyal listenersh ip," says Drenth. "They know th ey can call up and request a song and hear it within a couple of minutes."

"They a lso know they can hear it here first," says Savidge. "We were playing songs that made it big before anyone else."

"I think the main differen ce between this year 's radio station and th ose of years' past is attitude," says · Drenth. "Everyone seems ready, willing and cooperative."

New personnel include Savidge, program director; Beth Sweetwood, in charge of operations; Drenth , music director; Steve Segretto, news director; and Terry Boyd, promotions director.

Some of the traditions will be kept.

"Jive remotes" will be done from the Student Union, wh ere KSJ\1 will take requests and give away albums, teeshirts and concert t ickets.

"Budget cuts h ave affected our flexibility in some a reas, such as new equipment, but we're making d ue with what we have," says Drenth.

Funding crisis continues (continued from page 1) in Chemistry, Chemistry labs, Physical Science, Math, Business, Geology and Biology.

And from Vocational Education , class cuts include: Cabinetmaking and Millwork (four) ; Criminal Justice (one) ; Allied Health (one); Gerontology (two); Travel Services (two); Construction Technology (two); Water Technology (two); Air Conditioning / Refrigeration (one); Automotive Technology (four); and Drafting (one).

Family and Consumer Sciences has lost seven of their courses including Family and Consumer Sciences, Fashion Merchandising, Dietetic Supervisor, Interior Design and EDA Family Finance.

In Student Affairs, over $250,000 has been slashed from their budget.

Because personnel are not being replaced when resigning or retiring, the Counseling Department is short 4.5 counselors.

Other cutbacks in services incl ude office hours for Financial Aids, Admissions and Records .

"Our postage account has been shot," exclaims Dr. Bums . "We no longer mail grades or priority registration cards. This is really bad because it cuts down on our communication with students .

"We have had to introduce extra fees. We are also considering charging for diplomas and class schedules.

"Staff members have not h ad a raise for three years and now salary reductions are under consideration .

"The whole point is we've cut and cut and ·cut and there is just no way we can eliminate any more money without affecting the quality of education. Students are getting short-changed.

VA defines benefit eligibility I

By Kim Bounds Eligibility for veterans education benefits are now broken down into four basic groups.

They include: a veteran's time in the service, injury (if any) and if the student is a dependent or spouse of someone who was in the service Judy Duncan, along with her staff in the Veteran 's Administration Office help students who are eligible get benefits .

Those eligible for educational benefits include: veterans under the old GI Bill who entered the service before 1977, the new GI Bill for those veterans with a disability but are being retrained, and finally for those who are dependents or spouses of a veteran classified completely disabled or deceased.

To receive educational benefits

from the Veterans Administration, a student must be enrolled in six regular courses to be considered half time nine units for three-quarter time' and 12 units for full time.

Depending on the veteran's records and program he is classified under, he has up to 10 years to use his educational benefits. However, a dependent of a veteran has until his 26th birthday to use the benefits and the spouse has 10 years from the date of the veteran's total disability or death.

Eligibility also depends on the courses the student is taking. A person can take any class he wants and be paid for it, as long as it pertains to his major.

"You can take television classes and be paid," says Duncan, "but you

Duncan stresses that all veterans and dependents should keep a file on the V.A. and save everything received from them. This includes forms, checkstubs, letters, and anything else the V.A. may send you, so that if there is a problem, the veteran would have their file to clear it up.

According to Duncan, some important things for the veteran or dependent receiving benefits to remember are: "Know what you are getting from the V.A., how the process is run and affects you. Don't assume anything, check it all out and keep a running file of everything the V.A. gives you ."

"We serve both as a child care for students, and as a laboratory school for people studying child development," continues Abbott."We provide a good environment for children and we provide a place where. parents can learn about parenting."

Along with the eight professional teachers who staff the center, other volunteer student aides, including nursing, psychology, work study, or child development majors care for the 74 children a day.

Parents are invited to join the center's Parent Advisory Board who "help assure us that we are serving the needs of the children and the parents who are our clients," Abbott says.

"I think one of the strengths of our program is that we offer a real support service to student-parents and community-parents where they can use the staff and all of its expertise to help them with their parenting skills and with their children."

Helps in stress situations

Top ranked speech team

Center aids women's needs

By Melanie Anderson Designed especially for the campus and community woman, Palomar's Women's Center caters to women's needs on campus with support services, information, workshops, and referral services.

Teenagers and senior citizens alike are invited to the Women 's Center not only for the services it provides, but also for an informal meeting place or coffee break. " It gives them (students) a base, a place to come and get some information. It's always been a place where women could come and have a cup of coffee, study by themselves , or talk with other women," explains Shirley Meyer, program assistant for the center.

"Largely, we help women who are going through some type of stress or transitional situation," Meyer says.

The referral service offered through

Library offers tour For those students who are unfamiliar with the library, a -free handbook and guided audio walking tour is available, detailing some of the library's features .

The handbook highlights everything from how to use the Library of Congress card catalogue system to the layout of the library, even giving research tips for students.

The library is now open on Saturdays from 9 a .m . to 1 p.m.

the center aids these women by making community agencies more available to women For the career-oriented woman, new perspectives on jobs are given through a six-week Job Career Series , sponsored by the center,which teaches job hunting and resume skills. Starting October 18, this workshop will meet in the Training and Assessment Center, from 6 until 9 p.m. at 1605 W. Mission Road .

Topics for the series include: Personality and Career, Understanding Your Way to Promotion and Pay, Introduction to Job Hunting Techniques, and The Interview.

Leading the "Special Events" section of the Women's Center is the Women's Opportunity Week (WOW), which begins October 17 and runs through October 26. On October 17 and 18, Palomar will be getting involved with WOW by presenting six programs for women. These include: Women In Apprenticeship, Construction, Great Non-traditional Careers for Women, The Gift of Parenting, and Learning to Stay.

For the scholarship-minded student, the Jane Jackson Scholarship Fund of $100 will be presented again this year to a needy re-entry student with academic achievement.

Like all aspects of community college departments and programs around- campus, funding cutbacks are taking their toll on the Women 's Center.

"It's impossible to plan a program

even," says Cherie Barker, director of the Women's Center, on how funding cuts are affecting the center. "It has made planning very difficult, because I can't hire anyone to teach the Job Career Series," she says. "I don't know if there is any money. " She adds that the cuts in funding from the district and VEA have hurt the availability of counselors, workshops , and presentations.

"We really don't know what we have,"Barker continues, speaking of the college on a whole. "We're still trying to react to what Sacramento does or doesn't do . The whole school is just sitting here wondering what's going to happen."

prepares for fall season

By Chris Reynolds Recruiting is currently under way as the speech team prepares for its first tournament in October at either Cal-Poly or Biola.

"And we will continue to recruit all year long for next year," says Dr. Ray Dahlin, head of the Forensics Department.

Traditionally a "powerhouse" in its league, one of the biggest in the nation, the speech team consistently places among the top ten in the nation and boasted two national champions last year. Mike Jackman, one ofthe winners, will be returning this year. " But it's all up in the air right

Help Center offers services "Nobody will be turned away at the Student Help Center,"says Mike Lescher, coordinator for the Student Help Center.

The center offers a variety of services, nqt only for students, but the faculty as well. These services range from tutoring and counseling to just sitting and talking to someone.

The Student Help Center sponsors a number of activities, including the Bookswap, which enables students to get their books for school without paying the high cost of new ones.

Another important service is tutoring. Students can come to the center and get the type of tutoring

they need, free of charge. The center also sponsors the bulletin boards for anyone who needs assistance.

"The center works on a very personal basis, trying to meet the needs of everyone who comes in," says Lescher. No need is too small, whether one needs bus fare or just someone to talk to. The center also provides pamphlets on the different occupations and services offered at Palomar."

The Student Help Center is located in R-7, Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m ., 6-8 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m., or call 744-1150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2599.

now," stressed Dahlin . "We have a team of about 25 people, 90 percent of whorri have never competed. All of our debaters are rookies and will be competing against pre-law students from USC, UCLA, and Arizona State, but we always hold our own."

"We have a good program here and good coaches," said Dahlin.

"Dr. Pat Mills handles analysis, extemporaneous, and impromptu speaking, Bruce Bishop is director of debate, Kathy Waste coaches reader's theater and interpretation , and Joyce Harris heads informal expository and interpretive speaking."

"Our main objective is to get students scholarships. A few years ago at Nationals I had the president of Michigan State approach me and offer scholarships to any one of eight person on our team. I was flattered but I had to tell him that their decision would be based on the weather," quipped Dahlin. "We have had a number of people receive scholarships to USC and UCLA even if their major wasn't speech."

Regardless of their status as a speech team, budget cuts have not passed them by. "We had $7,000 cut from our budget last year, which really affects the number of tournaments we can attend. All of our tournaments are "overnighters", which drives our expenses up. We try and attend all the major ones and will be saving enough to make Nationals, which are in Casper, Wyoming this year, " said Dahlin.

Mermen rebound for win

Turnovers cost locals win streak

Rebounding after a 13-10 loss at Cypress September 29, the Comet waterpolo team took two of three contests and placed third in the San Diego Invitationa l Tournament h eld last weekend .

The Comets were victors in their first two , beating Mt. SAC 8-5 and crushing Chaffey 15-1, before dropping their final game to a n impressive UCSD junior varsity squa d 13-8

By Bill Wilson An opportunistic Allan Hancock team spoiled the Comets' bid for their third victory in as many outings by downing the locals 20-10 f in a non-conference clash last Satur- ' day at Santa Maria.

Men's soccer splits pair Demonstrating once again their strong defense and precise passing abilities, the men's soccer team beat Imperial Valley 5-l September 30.

Although the Comets lost to Orange Coast 7-1 September 28, coach Frank Hankin believes that

The bulldogs took advantage of five Palomar turnovers while ruining the gridders' most successful start in many years.

"We had our chances to win this one," said head coach Tom Craft.

"We gave them a couple of easy ones, but we had plenty of opportunities to come back."

A few series later, Comet Chris Hauser fumbled an AH punt which was recovered by the winners at the Comets' 25. This set up a Larry Donaldson three yard TD carry, boosting the hosts to a 14-3 lead at halftime.

In the third period Hancock drove half the distance of the field a nd increased its margin to 20-3 as Cornelson hit Terry Barber on a one yard pass play.

Later in the period, Comet QB Mike Myer connected with wide receiver Dave Schaper on a bomb that went for 78 yards and a score.

The Comets attempted to go ahead in the fourth quarter after a drive which put them at the opponent's 15 yard line. But their comeback efforts were thwarted when QB Ryan Beadle, substituting for Myer, was intercepted near the goal line.

Palomar will play host to winless Imperial Valley tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. at San Marcos High in another non-league contest.

" All week we stressed that we would have to get on top early in this game if we were to win. But things just went their way. Our runningbacks and receivers fell down in the open and we had a lot of balls batted down. They just outplayed us. " Dan Ignosci staked Polamar to a 3-0 lead in the first quarter when he split the uprights with a 36 yard fieldgoal.

However, a 42 yard touchdown pass from Bulldog quarterback Ken Comelson to wide receiver Chris Leonard gave AHa 7-3 edge.

Sullivan led the team in offense with eight goals and six assists.

Peter Loedell and Art McMahon were defensive standouts .

By Bill WilsoP Palomar's football program just ain't what it used to be.

It's better.

A newly assembled coaching staff headed by Tom Craft, the consolidation of players from this school and Mira Costa, a switch of playing sites, and an array of talented recruits from North County are just some of the moves that indicate one of the more promising seasons in many years.

coach Mark Eldridge. First year man Lenny Rodriguez takes over the defensive line post.

Along with an eager, new coaching staff comes a group of enthusiastic players who are a great improvement over preceeding seasons. The presence of depth, size, and speed give the Comets the capability to atone for their consistently lopsided losses from years past.

Craft, a former San Diego State quarterback, brings with him what his name implies. With his knowledge of the passing game, plus numerous skilled athletes, he has the ingredients to rival the 1979 season when the Comets posted the most prolific passing offense in the nation.

Reasons for the present caliber of players lie within the school's current budget cutbacks. The Palomar/ MiraCosta merger has given Craft and his staff the ability to draw players from the area's coastal high schools when the athletes previously would overlook Palomar and opt for something closer to home.

Adding to the Aztec flavor will be Mark Halda, another ex-SDSU quarterback who will serve as offensive coordinator under Craft. At the defensive helm will be Jeff Carlovsky, known widely throughout North County for putting together perennially strong defensive units at Orange Glen High.

Bob Lusky returns as the Comets' offensive line coach and will be assisted by yet another former Aztec lineman Rob Gilster. Also retained from last season is defensive back

Proximity is just what the Comet mentor had in mind when he instigated the move which brings Palomar's home games to San Marcos High in lieu of the traditional Vista site. This should instill familiarity and build an identity while arousing necessary support.
