Computers available Dollar-wise consumers not ready to commit th emselves to a $2,000 plus investment in computer hardware and software now have an alternative. The Library now offers a coin -operated Apple lie computer with a variety of hardware and software frills. ¡ For a nominal charge of $1 for 20 minutes, library users have at their command a state-of-the-art computer with two disc drives, a letter quality printer, and over a dozen programs from which to choose. Programs range in variety from an introduction to the Apple lie computer to games to home budgeting and word processing.

Installed at no cost by Compumat Inc. of San Diego, the coin-operated computer may also be a revenue earner for Palomar College. Ken Kenitzer, president of this unique company said, "The college will get a p er centage of the take d epending on the volume of usage. The more the computer is used, the larger the percentage the college will earn."

The coin-operated computer is located in the Learning Resources Center on the library's first floor. For further information or reservations for computer time, call the library at 744-1150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2624.

Placement tests set Don't wait until May to sign up for the English and Math placement tests, warns the Counseling Department.

Waiting until the last possible moment may result in disappointment as seating for the tests is limited.

Sign-ups for the next test, on March 2, will begin on February 20 at the Co unseling office in A-66. April 6 and May 4 are the final dates of testing before the summer semester and students may make reservations to take the test starting two weeks before the testing date. The math portion is scheduled at 12 noon to 1 p.m. and the English test is from 1 to 3 p.m.

All tests require a picture ID and a Social Security card for admittance and no one will be admitted after the test begins. The tests are administered in the old libra ry and students need to bring a No. 2 pencil for either test, scratch pape r for the math test, and lined paper and a blue or black ink pen for the English test.

Test results are available in four working days.

Svvap meet highlights junk, hidden treasures "One man's junk is another man's treasure,"- an appropriate motto for the Associated Student Government Swap Meet, held eac h Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the college parking lots 1 and 2 at the front entrance off

Services held for Barton, math instructor Funeral services were held January 13 at St. John's Episcopal Church in Fallbrook for Mrs. Hallie M. Barton, associate professor of mathematics, who died January 11 after a prolonged illness. She was 53.

Barton joined the Palomar faculty as an hourly instructor in 1969, and then went on to become afulltime contract instructor in 1976.

During her many years in the Math Department, Barton taught several classes including statistics, colleg"! arithmetic, a lgebra, technical math, and trigonom.etry. She also taught classes for the Veterans Education Prep Program at Camp Pendleton during the years 1972-1978.

Barton attended New Mexico State University from 1947-1951 wh ere she obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering. She then went on to attend UC Rive rside from 1966-1969 and earned her Master of Science in Mathematics.

Born in New Mexico in 1931, Barton was employed as a mathematician at the White Sands Missle Range in New Mexico before joining the Palomar fac ulty.

Remembering Barton, Math Department chairperson Warren Donahue says she was "unselfish with the use of her time when helping students. Always pleasant, she was willing to help and volunteer her time for the department."

Barton is survived by her husband, Henry, and three daughters.

The fam ily has requested that if desired, contrib utions be made to the Palomar College Friends of the Library.

Mission Road in San Marcos.

Sellers, buyers and lookers are e ncouraged to attend the weekly swap meet, monies from which are targeted to fund student programs suc h as th e college speech team , food bank and women's center, and to increase stu dent scholarship funds and student comm unity involvement.

Spokesman J.C. Lowery states requests from vendors last semester were responsible for the increase from a twice monthly swap meet to a weekly one. "Budget cuts and inflation are also responsible. On e swap meet objective is to lessen our dependency for funds outside our control which fund our student programs," Lowery said .

Sellers are charged $4 per space with reservations, $6 at the gate, and buyers are admitted free.

After seven long months of bitter negotiations the "political football season" is finally over.

Californ ia's 106 community colleges will finally have a budget, but not without a catch . Starting next fall, community college students will be paying tuition for the first time ever, breakin g a 70-year trad ition.

On January 26, California legislators and Governor George Deukmejian reac hed a co mprom ise agreement to resto re $96.5 million to community co llege budgets and to impose a $50 per semester fee for full -time students.

Th e two bills, AB470 and AB1XX, signed by the governor, will: *Give the colleges $96.5 million now, bringing their 1983-84 state budgets up to 1982-83 levels. *Impose mandatory tuition, effective July 3 1, of $50 per semester for students taking six or more units and $5 for those taking less than s ix units of credits. The fees will bring in $75 million a year. Stude nts enrolled in certain non -c redit courses will not pay the fee. *Provide $15 million in student aid and exempt welfare recipients from the tu ition. ' Eliminate 10 permissive fees t hat some co lleges currently charge, bringing in about $20 million . These in clude fees for health care, instructional materials, field trips, course additions, late app lications, physical ed ucatio n for off-campus facilities and eye protection devices. *Put a $50 limit on the tu ition and eliminate it January 1, 1988.

According to Palomar president Dr. Omar Scheidt, the passage of these two bills is a "step forward ," but he adds that by "folding in" permissive fees the potential funds for colleges is still being reduced.

"Philosophically, I'm still opposed to

the tuition fee for community colleges.

It is a sound investment for the citizens of this state to provide open access to high er education at a min imum cost," Scheidt said.

Scheidt pointed out that the amount of money Palomar actually receives depends on the enrollment reaching CAP (CAP is the maximum ADA, or average daily attendance level), approximately $1.3 million if CAP is reached or $1 million if not. Comm unity colleges have until the en d of the '84-85 school year to reach '82-83 ADA levels.

According to Director of Admissions and Records Herman Lee, enrollment is as of last week 16,989. Lee points out that "If there is no mass drop-out rate, Palomar h as a good chance to make CAP." Scheidt says, "If everything goes well in 1984-85, if enrollment comes back to CAP, and if the fee doesn't drive away students, we can anticipate $700,000 from tuition fees ."

With the passage of AB4 70 the first priority here is the restoration of the '83-84 reductions and reinstating salaries and benefits for certificated and classified retroactive to November 1, 1983.

Also, all campus employees will receive a four percent bonus amo unting to $600,000 effective July 1.

The summer session will now begin June 25 rath er than the first week in July.

For this year, $160,000 has been approved to restore non -salary accounts. Non -salary accounts include supplies, equipment, travel, phone services, postage, student aid, work study, and printing.

But, even with the passage of the legislation , Scheidt cautions that "by no means does it solve all Palomar's financial problems."

ICC alters llow profile' image Under new leadership ICC (Inter Club Council) held a banquet luncheon for all club r epresentatives and advisors with expectations to kicking off the new year successfully.

Catering to the 24 clubs on campus, ICC's purpose is to create motivation and enthusiasm within the clubs on

ICC hopes to get out of its "low profl.le" shell, hence the banquet, which ICC members anticipate will become an annual event. With their new outlook for 1984, ICC hopes other clubs will begin to form.

ICC meetings are held every other Tuesday in 22A at 12 noon . Club representatives and the public are invited.

Orwell's 1984' message viewed as a ca II to action Editor: On December 31, 1983, around 9 p.m., I began to dread the coming of the new year.

Soon it would be 1984 and I was concerned not about the so-called "prophecies" of George Orwell's "1984", but about the threat of hearing about them for a full year.

Well, here we are in 1984 and the inundation of articles, stories and essays concerning Orwell's novel has begun. Countless magazines and newspapers have printed their comparisons of the present and "1984", and not to be left out of the vogue now so has the Telescope.

Sarah Grimes' letter (Telescope, January 17, 1984) reads more like a thank you note to Santa, rather than a serious evaluation of current society and government structure. Understand Sarah, I appreciate your patriotic backing of present day America, but I feel your premise for this activity was a little weak.

Once and for all, "1984" is a novel; a work of fiction. It was never meant to be a prophecy of what the world would be like in 1984. Instead it is a commentary about Orwell's world of 1948.

In order to stress certain ideals of rights and freedoms, Orwell created a society that denied

those rights. However, the structure of that society is flawed . There are aspects of Oceania's structure that would easily bring its downfall, and which make its existance, therefore, virtually impossible. George Orwell knew this and he masterfully failed to recognize those flaws by not discussing them in his¡ story.

You see, Oceania is not the star of "1984".

What is the star is the novel's theme. "1984" is not a prophecy, but a story with a moral. It is a warning that states that without mankind's intervention his society could evolve into something that might take from him his most important and prized qualities.

I have no objections to George Orwell's "1984", but what I do object to is the same old rehashing of fears that our president may become Big Brother or that ownership ofTelescreens may become mandatory. Instead of spending all that time worrying about what our society is and may become, let's spend that time working to make our society better.

"1984's" message is a call to action. Instead of worrying about the crimes and injustices of our world, let's do something about them.

WAYLON JENNINGS CONCERT REVIEW

Country singer inspires boisterous fans

By Polly Filanc Country may not be as cool these days, but thousands of country music fans came out of the closet February 5 to "yahoo" to the beer drinking songs of Walyon Jennings in Pat O'Brien Hall at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Decked out in duds ranging from tennis shoes to cowboy boots, from bareheads to Stetsons, fans sloshed down lots of "suds" while howling up to deafing decibles in the mammoth barnlike structure.

Those who could distinguish Jennings' lyrics to "Are You Ready for the Country," and "Luchenbach, Texas" had probably been devout listeners for years since the acoustics were horrendous.

Backstage, viewers were less fortunate as the elusive self-styled "outlaw" singer could barely be heard, let alone seen. While Jennings may have the knack to inspire boisterous

crowds to ignore the acoustical drawbacks, his songs seem routine and remarks between songs repetitive. But nothing stopped the "good ol'boy's" fans from acting like banshees.

Jennings, whose talent stretches as far as Hollywood singing the "Dukes of Hazzard" theme every Friday night, has had 25 years experience in the business to develop his popular rustic and rugged style that has gained him respect.

Jennings' respect seems to have reached out to the concert's sponsors, appropriately Luchenbach Productions.

nings dislikes flashing cameras and signing autographs, and will see to it that a photographer's camera is "smashed to bits" if caught taking pictures backstage.

But this is not the practice of all country music people as Mel McDaniel welcomed pictures, autographs and interviews.

While Jennings may have been the main attraction, his wife Jessie Colter revived her status with her early 1970s hit, "I'm Not Lisa," with a typical high-pitched twang.

McDaniel, whose been "just about everywhere," equalled Jennings in foot-stomping songs but his sincerity surpassed Jennings glory.

Although McDaniel gets lots of airtime on the radio, not many seem to know he's out there. Born in the same Oklahoma town as Merle Haggard, his home now is Nashville.

Country runs in his blood and his hero is John Wayne. "I admire everything he stood for."

Security became extremely tight during the performances of the husband and wife. According to one of the Luchenbach producers, Jen-

Opening the concert North County's gem of country music Tall Cotton set the tone for an evening of good ol' hanky tonk.

Project Oz renevvs hope for youth

By Patti Brown Jill, age 16, sees 1984 as the "beginning of a new life."

With the help of Project Oz, a residential counseling agency in Carlsbad, this once troubled teen is now an honor student, a student officer and is anticipating college. But just a few months ago Jill and her parents were embroiled in conflict, unable to communicate with each other.

Through the 10-week program, which includes two weeks of residential care for young people ages 12-17, Jill and her family were able to reestablish communication and find solutions to the prolems that beset them.

As Jill's delighted mother explains, "My daughter is a happy person again ."

Much of the help given teenagers like Jill comes from dedicated volun- ¡ teers, including students from Palomar. Douglas Green, volunteer coordinator at Oz, explained that much of "the one-on-one attention the youth needs" actually comes from volunteers, who serve as "positive role models."

The volunteers are trained in every aspect of residential treatment, including hotline counseling, group counseling and crisis intervention, and supervise daily activities, discipline, accompany residents on outings and simply offer friendship.

Although Palomar volunteers traditionally have come from the social science classes, anyone (age 19 or over) who enjoys working with teens is welcome if the following conditions can be met: 10 hours minimum per week with a 4 month minimum and attendance at twice monthly staff meetings on Thursday evening.

For further information call Project Oz at 729-4926.

French and, with touri m the i land's lone industry, everything is there for a holiday spree ... captured on camera.

Saba is reached by schooner or plane landing on a thin strip between sea and jagged peaks. The final island in this travel odyssey is St. Eustatius, steeped in beauty and history closely interwoven with the United States.

Leaving the islands behind, we fly south to Surinam, a co untry of great variety with its polyglot cultures living side by side. You'll witness a Hindu wedding, ancient Javan ese dances, creole women in Kotto Missi dress, a safari into the jungles, a voodoo fire dance and the celebration of Freedom Day.

Coaches view spring season optimistically

Cagers

conclude season

By Ch ris Reynold s As the 1983-84 basketball schedule drew to a close, the Comet cagers p osted what coach Andy Gilmour termed an "unfortunate" season record.

Going into the February 15 conference contest against the Grossmont Griffins, Palomar had a 12-14 overall record coupled with a 2-9 conference record.

"I thought we'd do a lot better," said Gilmour. "We lost a lot of close ball games by 2 or 3 points in the last few minutes of the game in the middle of t he season. The kids worked hard and played hard, but we lost a lot of close ball games."

After a promising pre-season the cagers experienced some problems when t hey lost the services of their starting forward Mike Garrison midway th rough the season.

According to Gilmour, "One thing we lacked d uring the season was depth.

We lost Mike Garrison, our starting forward, down the stretch. He was shooting over 60% from the floor and averaging 12 points a game. He's just now starting to get back in shape."

Statistically speaking, Palomar lacked rebounding strength.

"Jack Woods was our leading rebounder t h is season," Gilmour said.

The six-foot gu ard is an illustration of why Palomar might not have had as much strength on the boards as other conferen ce teams.

"There's no question about it," confi rmed Gilmour, "we were the smallest team in ou r conference and that hurt us some."

Another reason for the poor conference mark, according to Gilmour, is that t his year the conference is tougher than it's ever been.

"To rank it in Southern California you'd have to say it's among the top two. The reasoning behind a statement like that comes from the fact that the teams in our league do well outside of the conference," Gilmour said .

Nonetheless, Palomar looked impressive against division rival Grossmont, p osting a 78-72 win over the Griffins.

Palomar guar d J ack Woods delivered a game-high 25 points and pulled down eight rebounds as Lloyd Klaman added 23 points to the cagers' score.

Griffin guard Martel Johnson was the top Grossmont scorer with 20 poin ts, while center Gary Williams grabbed ten rebounds.

"We p lay well against Grossmont," admitted Gilmour before the game.

It showed as both teams pursued a fastbreak offense, with Palomar occassionally employing a full-court press on defense.

Up by a five point margin, 37-32, at the half, the Comets held on to the lead throughout the game.

The only difficulty for Palomar came in the second half. With 12:32 left a fight nearly broke out as Comet Lloyd Klaman and Gr iffin forward Pete Overlu nd became entangled and fell to the floor. An altercation ensued, but it was quickly resolved and no one was ejected from the game. No technical fo ul was called on either team.

The Comets finished up their season by travelling to Imperial Valley, a team they had previously lost to by two points, and by playing MiraCosta at home.

Base bailers host tourney; open vvith mixed results In the final round of the PalomarMiraCosta Baseball Tournament last weekend, the Comets dropped an 11-4 decision to Mt. San Antonio College on Myer's Field.

The locals finished the the three day event with 1-2 record following an opening round loss to Chaffey College, 7-6, and a 12-2 romp over College of the Desert on Saturday.

But despite the outcome, Comet coach Bob Vetter is not concerned about how his team will fare this year in the Pacific Coast Conference.

"This tournament, I'm sure, did the guys a lot of good," said Vetter. "I told the Players we're 1-2, so what? That doesn't mean much at this point. We got a good look at what the guys can do out there. It won't get any worse, only better."

Palomar was leading in their season opener, 6-1 , going in to the eighth

inning, but failed to hold on to that margin as Chaffey exploded for six unanswered runs to gain the victory.

The Comets evened their clip at 1-1 the next morning against COD behind the one-hit pitching performance of lefthander Todd Poelstra. The former Poway High graduate held the visitors hitless through 7 1/3 innings before he gave up a single to Roadrunner first baseman Jaime Nunez.

Former San Marcos High standout Randy Davila led the Comets' offensive attack with a triple, two doubles, and a single. Davila also delivered three RBis. In the tourney finale, the game was tied going in to the sixth frame, but Mt. SAC tagged Palomar pitcher Sal Embry for three runs.

Comet shortstop Opie Moran lead the batting attack as the infielder belted his first home run in the opening inning.

Svvim team hosts re lays after So. Ca I. shovvi ng

By Tina Newman Playing host to seven southern California swim teams, Palomar will hold the Border Relays today in the Wallace Memorial Pool at 2 p.m.

The men's team started their season with a third place overall while the women took sixth, opening the season against 12 other squads at the Southern California Relays in Santa Monica.

According to Waterman, "We would have done better, but we were five swimmers short due to study. That held us back" Waterman was pleased with the outcome though.

"These girls did an outstanding job," she said. ''This season we'll have a great team. We have four girls returning from last year and a total of 17 girls on the team. It's the biggest team ever."

Leslie Lowe, Wendy Brandsford, Patty Richards and Linda Barberi teamed up to take first place in the 850

yard freestyle relay, second in the individual medley and third in the 400 yard medley.

Men's coach Don Hubbard was impressed as his swimmers captured first place in the 850 yard freestyle relay.

"Jim Johnson (who anchored the relay squad) turned in a fantastic 4:49," said Hubbard. ''To have a time like that this early in the season is phenomenal."

Ron Davenport, Spencer Golden and Brian Fullerton were the other members of the first place team who had an overall time of 8:04.4.

Davenport also contributed to another first place victory in the 400 yard breaststroke relay, when he combined with Mark Williams, Peter Dobias and Mike Brown to post a time of 4:30.1.

These first place finishes were cou pled with two second place victories in the 400 yard backstroke and 400 yard butterfly relays.

By Chris Reynolds Hope springs eternal and spring hopes are eternal.

Optimism seems to be the keynote in the coaching rhetoric as seven out of eight Palomar sports programs opened their seasons February 17.

After participating in the Palomar IMiraCosta Tournament February 1719, as well as travelling to Riverside February 21, the baseball team is on the road again. The team will meet Chaffey on their opponent's turf this afternoon at 2 p.m.

"It's hard to tell who will be good this year, because no one's played yet," said Crouch prior to the season's opener.

But from all the scouting reports we've gotten, they're a couple of potentially good teams." He also added, "We expect the league to be tough ."

The conference may be tougher this year because of its increased size. With one team dropping out of their division , the two four team divisions have been combined into one.

Although not traditionally a powerhouse in the last two years, Crouch says Palomar "plans to be competitive this year."

"We made a coaching change two years ago," said Crouch, referring to head coach Bob Vette~ . "Last year we took second place in our division and this year we expect to be really competitive."

Crouch sees the immediate strength of the squad as defense, stressing that at this point in the season the defense is always a little ahead of the offense.

Darren Balsey, a sophomore pitcher from Mount Carmel and chosen by the Oakland A's in the winter draft's third round, is seen as Palomar's "best pitch ing prospect." Crouch describes him as "quite capable." Other potential standouts include third baseman Derron Johnson and shortstop Opie Moran.

Athletic directors Tony Lynd and Patti Waterman are also optimistic as the spring season opens. ''The swim season looks good," says Waterman. "We've been a traditionally strong team. Over the last seven years we've taken six first places and one second."

Waterman also reported a strong turnout for the women's swim team .

Most were freshman, but the team will

have the talents of Leslie Low. A returning All-American state champion, Low may be one to watch this spring as the 16 swimmers and two divers enter a new conference, the Pac ific Coast League.

"We'll continue with what worked for us," said Waterman . "In the past we've gone after certain teams, but in the new league a ll the teams are strong."

Lynd reiterated Waterman's optimism.

"Our swim team is in the top two or three. Mesa and Saddleback are our main competitors and may win it all, but we've had a great turnout and we're a contender," Lynd said.

The men's and women's swim team will host the Border Relays today at 2 p.m. and competition will resume tomorrow at 9 a .m. here. They are return ing from the Southern California relays held at Santa Monica February 17.

The men 's tennis team will make the trek to Santa Barbara today to serve up some competition when they take on the Gauchos after raising a racquet at the Arizona Western Tournament February 17-18.

Lynd is predicting an improved record for the squad.

"Of course the other teams may have some aces I don't know about. Two great players on the same team are enough to enable them to dominate."

The golfers are at Whispering Palms to play in the Golf Academy Classic today, after coming off last weekend's competition at Coronado.

The women 's basketball team began the season playing host to The College of the Canyons last weekend in the Dome. They competed at the College of the Desert Tournament Monday and against rival Santa Ana Wednesday.

The locals will be hosted by Cypress March 2. Th e next home game will take place as the cagers host Southwestern in the Dome at 5 p.m. March 7.

The women 's softball team is participating in the Fullerton Tournament, which began yesterday and will con tinue until Sunday.

They opened their season February 17-18 at the Santa Ana tourney and travelled to Riverside February 22.

Does spring hold eternal hopes for Palomar? Only time will tell.

WHOEVER.THOUGHT WRITING COULD BE SO FINE?

Net coach's attitude posit ive

By Bob Cameron Each spring coach Nan Haugen is concerned with only one thing. If you said "winning," you're only partly correct.

Developing the women's tennis team to its maximum potential is her objective, and winning has been the result.

Next Tuesday and Wednesday the Comets will begin conference play against Southwestern and Rio Hondo colleges, respectively. "As in the past, this year's squad has plenty of potential," says Haugen, "and finding out where each player fits will be no easy task" Last year's number two player Mary Ann Hodges should lead the Comets this year. She was the only player from Palomar ever to qualify for the state finals in both singles and doubles.

Two more sophomores returning are Kathleen Lievers and Julie Anderson, both of whom are strong players and should be in the top four.

A pleasant surprise has been firstyear player Loretta Pevey.

Other first-year players competing for positions are Rhonda Robinson, Amanda Rickert, Leslie Elkins, Belinda Padro and Dianne Marrin . All of these players are in competition for a spot on what seems to be a team with depth.

Haugen isn't one to compare her teams. "Last year's team was one of our strongest in depth ever," she said. ''This year we have more girls, but each team is a totally different makeup. My goal is to let each person become all she is capable of being."
