Chancellor forecasts more state funds

By Polly Filanc Santa Ana weather conditions brought a good omen last Friday as Community College Chancellor Gerald Hayward forecasted better days for community colleges during a statewide health services conference here.

Legislators, and even Governor George Deukmejian, are now recognizing community colleges as a high fund ing priority, Hayward said.

The state senate and assembly have agreed to an additional $116 million to next year's budget (a six percent increase over the governor's budget).

While there is not a "high likelihood" that community colleges will receive this amount, Hayward indicated the colleges should get some increase in funding, because the attitude in Sacramento has been "more positive" towards community colleges.

In a recent "very productive" con-

versation with Deukmejian, Hayward felt the governor who is a "difficult read" (someone hard to figure) has had a change of heart and is now positive about community colleges as a "high priority'' funding item.

Last year's divisive funding / tuition debate between the governor and assembly Democrats was the "most difficult year" in community college history, Hayward said. But after that "long, bitter and protracted dispute," he added that, "we have come out intact." This has had an impact in Sacramento. "The spotlight is on us," he said, "and that is the best thing that could happen. The problem in the past, has been that people have not known what we're about."

Hayward, who heads up the state's 106 community colleges, was keynote speaker during the Shadowridge Country Club luncheon. He spoke to the Health Services Association Confer-

ence, on comprehensive planning in community college student support services, hosted by Palomar.

He also discussed the "matriculation model" which is simply a contract, between the institution and the student, designed to focus on success, not access.

This detailed plan to enroll and transfer students is to be fully implemented on 12 campuses and partially on 10. To fund the matriculation plan legislators have been asked to provide an additional $10 million.

This year's goal, Hayward added, is to emphasize transfer and vocational education. Part of the reason for this focus is that there has been bad publicity toward the community college transfer student. Proof of the system's ability to transfer students comes from a recent report at UC Berkeley which showed the community college student there to have a 2.88 GPA. Hay-

ward pointed out that 77 percent of those students were ineligible at the high school level.

While the $50 fee per semester has solved part of the funding issue in Sacramento, the impact of that fee on enrollment is not known. Hayward said what needs to be done to offset any loss is to inform students of the financial aid that is available. The legislature has agreed under ABIXX to fund $15 million towards financial aid.

Prior to his luncheon address, Hayward spoke at the college library to discuss comprehensive planning in student support services.

Hayward, who is mandated by senate bill 851 to conduct a differential funding study of student services, said he has a "strong and abiding support" for these services. "Had it not been for (student services), I would have prob-

ASG election under investigation

CHAINED - Jourges Bloch presented an excerpt from Henze's "El Cimarron" at the April 28 Concert Hour. This dramatic work was based on a life of a runaway Cuban slave (Esteban Montejo ), who lived to be over 104 years old. Bloch was accompanied by John Fonville on the flute, Robert Ward on the guitar, and Dan Dunbar on the percussion.

The Associated Student Government's (ASG) three-member committee investigating allegations of improprieties in last month's presidential election declared Monday the allegations "are not serious enough to warrant a disqualification of the election."

Political science student Mark Higgins, who filed the allegations April24, contested the decision at the May 8 meeting of Palomar's governing board.

The board subsequently authorized the formation of what was termed "an impartial three-member committee" to further investigate Riggin's allegations. The composition of the committee was unspecified.

The controversy grew from a special hearing of the ASG's election committee May 3, when Higgins requested the disqualification of ASG president-elect Kevin Farrow.

Higgins made the request in his opening remarks before committee members JC Lowery, Andy Wright, Mike Lescher.

The proceedings were characterized

on several occassions by sharp exchanges among Higgins, Wright, and Lowery regarding the ASG's role in investigating Higgins' allegations.

Higgins contended throughout his prepared argument that the ASG had been aware of election violations by Farrow but did not pursue an official investigation until he had flled a formal complaint April 24. Lowery conceded that he did not authorize an investigation until Higgins' complaint was received, but he maintained he knew nothing of any violation allegations prior to receiving the complaint.

Immediately following the exchange, Higgins asked Lowery to remove himself from the election committee, citing Lowery's personal and business ties with Farrow as the basis for the request.

"I do not believe that Mr. Lowery should serve on this committee in light of his personal and business associations with Kevin Farrow. I am therefore requesting your withdrawal from the committee," Higgins said.

Lowery, who had earlier confirmed his ties with Farrow in response to a series of questions by Higgins, declined Higgins' request.

Higgins repeatedly challenged Lowery's investigative position, asking the chief judicial advocate if he had made statements to the effect that he "would interpret the constitution as he saw fit" and that he "was not going to disqualify Farrow even if the allegations had substance."

Higgins claimed Lowery had made the remarks to other ASG officials, a contention Lowery would neither confirm nor deny.

At one point near the end of his remarks, Higgins expressed frustration with the investigative committee because the hearing was not being held before the ASG's judicial advocates as dicated by the student constitution.

Higgins said he intends to press his allegations with the governing board if the committee does not disqualify Farrow.

#Special child' workshop set A special one-day workshop for those working or planning to work with special education children is being offered May 12 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"The Special Child in Pre-school" will feature a guest panel of parents of special education children, as well as the video tape, ''What About Tomorrow?"

Dr. Rosemary Clissold, workshop instructor, says that pertinent handouts with specific suggestions and recommendations for those planning to work

in this area of education will be available. Participants are asked to bring a sack lunch.

22.3 in 1970 to 24.7 in 1979, with a jump to 25.4 in the middle of the last decade. As of fall 1983, the average student's age is 29.

The largest single age group on campus is that of the 19 year olds who number over 1,700. Surprisingly, the next biggest group of students are those aged 30-34. Perhaps this figure represents many returning mothers whose children are now school age.

Eighteen and twenty-year olds are the next highest groups in number of enrollments, followed by students 3539. There are also 570 known students over the age of 69.

The influx of foreign students has also increased over the past ten years.

While there were only 26 foreign students in 1974, the last statistics show an enrollment of 441 currently.

Caucasian or white students make up the majority of 13,109 students.

Hispanic students account for almost another 1,500, Asian 710, Black 323, American Indian 301 and Filipino 193.

The rest of the student body is composed of 'other' minority groups or is 'unknown.'

Almost three times as many students attend school part-time as fulltime students, and over 1,000 are enrolled for non-credit. There are 731 veterans enrolled compared to a peak veteran enrollment of over 3,000 in 1975.

Speakers see sex harassment as power trip

By Melanie Anderson She was a woman working in a nontraditional job as an electric engineer assembler. Sexually harassed by coworkers and supervisors, she was one of the many women who are victimized on the job.

Harassed at home and work, the woman finally went to her boss to complain. His solution was: "Either you deal with the problem on your own, accept it, or I will fire the whole assembly line and start all over."

Like many others, she quit her job under duress.

With the support of the National Organization for Women (NOW), two local members have created a new sexual harassment task force for the

women of North County.

Cecile Carbonneau and Betty Rodriguez, along with three other women, will address the issue of sexual harassment May 21 in a support system/ informational program at the Old Time Cafe in Leucadia at 7:30 p .m.

The panel of speakers includes Cathy Chinn, a San Diego attorney who specializes in sexual harassment cases, Linda Nolan from Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and Riche! Raines, who will speak out against sexual harassment as well as providing some solutions to the problem.

"I don't think people realize how much sexual harassment goes on," Carbonneau says. "Women do not have to put up with it or be victimized. Sex-

ual harassment is against the law.

"The more we become aware of it and its impact, the more we can count on sexual harassment being abolished," she adds, instead of it being treated as a "bad joke."

A question and answer session will follow the program, from which Carbonneau expects a self-help group to emanate.

"I really do foresee statewide as well as nationwide involvement in this sexual harassment task force," she says.

"We are looking for people who can give us the benefit of their own knowledge or experience as a victim to help deal with the problem or fmd a solution."

In 1964 the EEOC backed the Civil Rights Act under Title 7, which defmed

sexual harassement as an unlawful employment practice.

It further characterized sexual harassment as: any unwelcome sexual advances, insulting name-calling, any verbal expression that is either implicit or explicit, and any physical or nonphysical expression that requests sexual favors.

Sexual harassment also includes graphic magazine centerfolds in full view at the workplace, as well as harassment that creates an intimidating work environment or interferes with any individual's work performance.

In the case of sexual harassment, Carbonneau encourages the victim to file a complaint with the EEOC or the Federal Employment Practice Commission.

She suggests working within the company itself to resolve the problem is probably the most effective way of combating harassment.

"If the company does retaliate against the harassment charge by either limiting a woman's job advancement or by generally giving her a hard time, the woman can then sue the company," she noted, adding "This gets us (women) out of the powerless kick."

Carbonneau believes the number of male victims subject to sexual harassment will increase as more women are put into higher positions.

"Although it is not unique," she says, "it is exclusive. It's a power trip for those males who do harass. In the past, they had the power to hire, fire, and promote.''

Ideological schism splits Democrats

By Gary Taylor The divisive struggle between Senator Gary Hart and former vice-president Walter F. Mandale for the democratic presidential nomination threatens to force an ideological schism in an already fragmented Democratic Party that could grievously wound the party's chances in November against President Reagan.

With every passing week, the campaign between Hart and Mondale has gradually assumed the characteristic bitterness of a party at war with its own conflicting sentiments.

Senator Hart, despite his excessive emphasis on a campaign theme of "New Ideas," does in fact represent a dramatic shift in the traditional foreign and domestic policies espoused by every Democratic presidential candidate since Franklin Roosevelt.

The Colorado senator's domestic policies are sharply divergent from Mondale's proclaimed social program priorities; they reflect basic liberal beliefs in the role of government as a protector of social justice, but they fall far short of the Democratic Party's traditional committment to this concept.

Whereas Mondale has campaigned tirelessly in crucial industrial states such as New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Michigan on the theme of "fairness" for the nation's poor, old, and unemployed, Hart has attempted to appeal to the party's broader constituency by suggesting that Mondale's "policies of the past" are no longer what the country needs. The result has been impressive victories for Mondale and the slow eclipse of a a determined but increasingly vulnerable Hart.

The senator's campaign, which has slowed substantially since the euphoric days of his earlier New England victories, has suffered because of a second significant shift from long held party beliefs: an unwillingness to project American military power abroad on either a limited or massive scale.

Hart's foreign policy views, which at times

seem to reflect a startling naivete, were conceived at the height of the Vietnam War; he makes no effort to hide the war's impact on his foreign policy views. The lesson of Vietnam, as he has stated throughout the campaign, is that almost any use of American military power or intervention, even when our vital interests are directly threatened, must be restrained to the point of inaction.

No democratic candidate since George McGovern has proclaimed similar foreign policy positions. McGovern was rejected by an unprecedented margin in the 1972 presidential election, and several recent Los Angeles Times' polls reveal equally recurrent doubts among many voters concerning Hart's maturity and decisiveness on foreign policy questions.

And therein lies the dilemma for the Democratic Party in 1984.

Gary Hart is a candidate whose appeal extends beyond traditional democratic support, but he is running against a democratic establishment seemingly committed to Walter Mondale. The establishment wants a candidate who can defeat Ronald Reagan, but they will not support a man who chides special interests, decries the power of big labor, has virtually no appeal among black voters, projects an image of immaturity on foreign policy questions and appears at times aloof, unorganized, and indecisive. Hart is such a candidate.

MOVIE REVIEW

The Democrats thus appear almost certain to nominate Mondale at the Democratic convention in July in San Francisco because the party machinery supports the former vicepresident. But, a serious challenge by Hart in the upcoming Western primaries could inflict serious wounds on the eventual nominee's chances.lt will be extremely difficult for Democrats to appear united against President Reagan in the fall campaign if they tear themselves apart choosing a candidate this summer.

By Patty Brown Greystoke. The name itself evokes a mysterious image, but turns out to be the Scottish ancestral home, albeit impressive, of the young John Clayton. Nowhere in the film is the name Tarzan ever mentioned.

This is a haunting story. The cinematography is stunning and the scenery magnificent. And surely this film deserves an award for spectacular costuming. Viewers will be hardpressed to distinguish the humans-dressed-like apes from the real animals.

The movie reveals the circumstances of the legendary figure's origins from the time his parents are shipwrecked on an island. After his parent's deaths, one due to natural causes, the other violently unnatural, the newborn baby is "adopted" by a female ape and her mate, to replace their dead offspring. ¡ The scenes of the young child's early years are graphically portrayed and make a highly unrealistic situation seem almost believable.

The viewer is caught up in the unusual lifestyle of these homely creatures and the defenseless babe under their care.

Christopher Lambert gives a most creditable performance as the adult Johnny. Although not as muscular as most Tarzans seen on the screen, he plays the role convincingly and seems to have an uncanny knack for mimicry.

Capitaine D'Arnot, who "rescues" John and returns him to his grandfather's castle, is played by Ian Holm (of Chariots of Fire fame) who turns in an excellent performance. While

LEITER TO THE EDITOR

Accused allovved to act as judge?

Dear Editor, On May 3 Mark Higgins went before a panel of student government officials to bring forth allegations concerning violations of the election code. This hearing was grossly mishandled and it violated specific guidelines set up in the old election code, under which the past election was held.

In section 2 of article 4 of the election code, it states that a candidate accused of violating the election code will appear before judicial advocates and, that those judicial advocates will decide whether the allegations are of a "significant magnitude" to warrant disqualification of a candidate (in this case, the president-elect).

The panel that heard Mr. Higgins' complaint consisted of only one judge advocate and two election board officials. This is in clear violation of the election code.

Furthermore, the one judge advocate that

was present, who also acted as the chairperson in the hearing, was also one of the accused in Mr. Higgins' complaint. Since when is the accused allowed to act as the judge? Also, when confronted with questions concerning alleged dealings with the president-elect, the judge advocate refused to answer on their occasions. When asked to step down because of a conflict of interest, the judge advocate refused.

This kind of misconduct should have no place in student government. Mr Higgins' complaint should be handled with a little more equity. In order to accomplish this, some form of impartial board should convene; a board in which members can be more objective in its decision making; a board that abides by the rules.

Sincerely, Kirk Glover

Tarzan movie 'stokes' critic excited about the potential possibilities he sees in the young man, he is anxious not to exploit John.

One of the most touching performances is given by Ralph Richardson who plays Johnny's grandfather, the Earl of Greystoke. With wonderful understatement he still manages to infuse his character with warmth and wisdom.

And what about Jane? Yes, she is there, as a ward of the Earl's and is on hand when Johnny comes marching home. Gradually, almost imperceptibly, she falls in love with him. Andie MacDowell plays the lovely, ethereal Jane.

One can almost overlook her tendency to bland impassiveness (even when her beloved is making a real 'monkey' out of himself) because she is so charming and wears her beautiful cloths so well. While her sensitive understanding of the young man is laudable, one's credibility is strained somewhat by her total acceptance of his strange behavior. Nowhere is this more true than during their one passionate love scene.

While John's habit of picking up and carrying dead and dying loved ones in his arms does become a trifle redundant, this is a small price to pay for and interesting and basically absorbing movie.

John's decision betyween Greystoke, his rightful inheritance, and his old jungle home form the final conflict. The parting scene between the Capitaine, Jane and John is a poignant one. Don't despair however. It only provides a perfect set-up for a sequel.

65 year old woman takes plunge Gardiner swims 50 lengths, 5 days a week

By Patti Brown Just four years ago, Imogene "Gene" Gardiner couldn't swim a stroke. Literally taking the plunge, the equipment manager of the women's locker room signed up for beginning swimming.

Now, thanks to much practice and the encouragement of instructors, the 65 year old Gardiner has not only mastered the crawl, but swims 50 lengths in 40 minutes, five days a week Since she lives close to the college, Gardiner decided "Why waste the opportunity?" and began taking various classes eleven years ago. Her courses have included oil painting, watercolor, drawing, real estate, power reading and aerobics.

Finally she mustered the courage to take a swimming class and has continued enrolling ever since. In the beginning, she "panicked" if she couldn't touch the bottom of the pool, but gradually she learned how to swim.

"I just kept working at it," she says. She discovered that "breathing is the key to the whole thing."

She admits that the biggest problem most women of her age group have is accepting their figures and daring to be seen in a swimsuit. In her case she decided, "So what?" and having faced that issue, went out and bought a suit.

This semester she is concentrating on her swimming form and has noticed that her kick is getting stronger. "But," she laughs, "I still can't use the paddle board." Besides the pure enjoyment of her 7 a.m. swims, Gardiner feels that her daily exercise has also been a contributing factor in changing her form -losing 25 pounds. And she finds that she is now able to "keep track of the laps and think of other things too," while she swims.

Every morning as she leaves for the pool her husband reminds her, "You know it's cold." But the woman who four years ago "never thought" she'd do it, just laughs as she prepares to get in the swim of things.

IN THE SWIM - Imogene Gardiner takes advantage of the convenience of Palomar's pool evezy

morning to stay in shape. Her 7 a.m. regime includes 50 laps five times a week. ( Phot o by Larry Meyer )

State's funding attitude positive (Continued from page 1) ably not gone on to a four-year institution.

Student services, he said, is being elevated to a high profile in the state and is gaining legislative support as an important part of the student's total educational process.

Society is moving in a rapid way, Hayward added, noting that major demographic changes are heavily affecting the community college and its mission.

These changes include ethnic makeup of the student population and the change in direction of the workforce.

In 1950, 65% of the workforce was industrial and 27% was information occupations. Now 17% are industrial and 60% informational.

Because of these changes, those students will require a "higher degree" of health and student services, said Hayward.

Another change having an "indirect, but greater impact in the long run" is the disintegration of the nuclear family- aptly phrased the "Norman Rockwell" family. ''There was a time when a family was made up of a working father, a nonworking mother and two children."

Now, Hayward said, this type of family is only seven percent of the total households.

This does affect education, he said, because student services often have to take over for the family function .

Concluding his morning address, Hayward emphasized the need to understand all aspects of education (K12, community colleges and universities.) ''Too often (educators) tend to be concerned with their own problems."

A cycle of negativism in blaming others for the problems, he said, has developed. Every portion is important, including student services. 'We can ill-afford to do less than provide quality in education."

A panel discussion followed Hayward's keynote address.

Panelists included moderator Juan

SPORTS Swim teams finish high at state finals

By Tina Newman Both the men and women swimmers placed among the top teams in the State Community College Swim Meet at East Los Angeles May 3 through May5.

The men placed sixth and the women placed seventh in the 25 school competition.

On the first day of competition Patty Richards won the 500 yard freestyle in 5:01.41, to set a new school record.

Leslie Lowe was tenth in the threemeter diving with a total of 325.78 points.

The 400 medley relay team of Richards, Linda Barberi, Margie Ligtenberg and Wendy Bransford fmished eighth with a time of 4:22.98, another new school record time.

Dan McCauley placed an impressive third in the one-meter diving event.

Mike Brown took sixth in the 200 individual medley, while Jim Johnson garnered an eighth in the 500 freestyle.

By Chris Reynolds In their hunt for a first place finish in the Pacific Coast Conference and a playoff berth, the Comet softball team chalked up three conference wins.

The women will be traveling to the Imperial Valley College diamond today for the season fmale at 3 p.m.

After sweeping a double-header from Imperial Valley by 16-1 and 4-3 margins, respectively, the women headed into another conference contest against Saddlebackwithout their starting first baseman Samantha Protzman.

Protzman broke her hand on a headfirst slide back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the sixth inning of the second game of the Imperial Valley series.

"We have great depth," said Eldridge.

"We have one of the best benches in years, maybe ever."

In the win over the Gauchos, that appeared evident.

The Comets jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the first, but the Gauchos came back in the top of the second to tie the score at one apiece.

The Comets struck again in the fourth when Hurtado hit a line shot up the third baseline that turned into a ground rule double when it was deflected out of play by Gaucho third baseman Theresa Brown. John dished up a single to advance Hurtado to third and pitcher Joanie Larson hit into a force play at second as Hurtado scored.

With one out Palomar third baseman Denise Borden pulled a Cindy Riviere pitch to right field that put runners at second and third. Right fielder Krista Boodry picked up an RBI with a sacrifice shot that put the Comets up by five,6-l.

Comet baseballers will make their final homestand tomorrow at 1 p.m. against second place Saddleback in what may turn out to be a crucial game.

After a May 1loss to San Diego Mesa 5-6 and last Saturday's win over Grossmont 14-9 the locals 12-8 record put them in third place behind 13-7 Saddleback.

"If we get by MiraCosta and we beat Saddleback, we'll be in second place because we will have beaten Saddleback in three out of four meetings.

That would give us the home field advantage in the playoffs," said head coach Bob Vetter.

In the loss to San Diego Mesa the Comets came close to breaking the Olympians 13 game winning streak.

"We performed well," said Vetter.

"We had 13 hits and didn't commit any errors. You expect to win those types of ball games, but you face a hot ball club in San Diego Mesa."

The Comets started strong when center-fielder Rick Cortez smacked a home run over the 330 ft. mark in left field, but the Olympians answered back in the fifth with three runs of their own.

The Comets took the lead back in the bottom of the inning. First baseman Randy Davilla started things off with a home run to left-center. Second baseman Billy Hancock and shortstop Opie Moran both picked up RBis with a double and a single respectively to put the Comets up by one, 4-3.

San Diego Mesa came right back in the sixth when Frank Klop hit a tworun homer over the center-field fence.

Darren Balsley came in to take over for Todd Poelstra in the inning allowing one more run as the Olympians went ahead 6-4.

Comet Nick Sawyer doubled to centerfield and was moved to third on a Hancock bunt sacrifice. Moran sent Sawyer home with a line shot over the third baseman's head to keep the Comets close.

The Comets nearly tied the ball game in the eighth when with two outs and Hancock at second, Cortez singled. At a close call at the plate Hancock was called out.

In the Grossmont game Vetter saw morale as a "significant factor" in the win.

"The emotional feeling, the intensity was much greater in the Grossmont game.

"It's important that we reach a peak at this point in the season."
