Trustees face enrollment dilemma

By Chris Reynolds While students lounged through the heat of a beautiful summer, Board ofT rustee members were experiencing a different kind of heat.

Literally and figuratively, the Board of T rustees are sweating it out, awaiting a tally of current enrollment figures.

According to Registrar Herman Lee, the total number of registered students was still below last year's mark by two percent as of September 13 and was considerably under the target figure of 17,071 students needed.

In order to combat the dropping enrollment, a recruitment program was adopted over the summer. Direct mailings to high school seniors, as well as commercial advertising on MTV and

Palomar College

SWEAT OUT SUMMER SESSION public service announcements were employed.

Although official figures will not be available until Monday, enrollment losses seem to be a statewide trend. A survey of 31 of California's 106 community colleges conducted by the state Chancellor's office showed most junior colleges may expect a decline of as much as ten percent. If current levels remain, it would mark the third consecutive year that community colleges as a whole have lost students.

In terms of actual dollars, the reduction in ADA (average-daily-attendence for full-time students) would mean $1400 of lost revenue per student for the college.

"We don't have any facts on how fees affected enrollment. We'll have to sort that one out. But I'm sure the (improved) economy had a major impact," said Palomar president Omar Scheidt.

The Chancellor's office also cited, "a drop in California's high school graduates, more rigorous probation/ dismissal policies and strengthened academic standards" as contributing factors.

The summer also brought changes to staffing, with more to come apparently.

Two Palomar administrators resigned July 18 citing personal and school-related reasons for their decisions. Business manager David

Or. Scheidt stated that they were "good employees" and he was, "dissappointed with them leaving" and that they are currently screening applicants to fill Scott's position, but that no rehiring will be done to fill Rogers' position. Instead, "her duties have been reassigned."

ASB president prepares for coming year

By Melanie Anderson He didn't lean back against his chair, prop his feet on the desk, and exude an authoritative manner. Instead, he sat perched on the edge of a table outside his office, and dangled his legs while he talked excitedly.

Kevin Farrow, ASB president, has seen the dark clouds of election days pass. Days that saw Farrow endure allegations of improper election conduct made against him. But now Farrow is in bloom.

Enthused with hopes and plans for ASB, he says, "Students are the main thing here on campus. ASB should be the pinnacle, the apex, of both students and the campus for the community. We want to create a postive image all-around for the community and the students to let them know that we are here."

By word-of-mouth, Farrow hopes to recruit students into ASB. He underlines the importance of student involvement on campus, and admits that ASB needs the most improvement in that area.

"I don't have any specific or major goals set for myself right now," he says.

"We are going to work together and try to combat the student apathy here in ASB." His "ways and means of campus recruitment", as Farrow terms it, begins by inviting high school students to tour Palomar. He also hopes to involve the community of San Marcos with Palomar College, as well as other offcampus areas through increased publicity and press coverage.

Farrow, who is in his fourth semester at Palomar, is majoring in finance and applies a business-like attitude towards ASB. "What we need in the way of improving ASB," he says,': Is staff. We need to work together as a whole and go forth and succeed like a business. We are a business and an organization."

His biggest responsibility as president, Farrow believes, is "conforming student government to be unified, and maintaining quality performance."

"ASB," he continues, "is fairly solid.

ENTHUSIASTIC position.

There are some things that we need to incorporate into the constitution and the election code. The hearing concerning last semester's ASB elections showed that."

Farrow, who is looking forward to representing the school and being a "mouthpiece" for the campus, places a great deal of emphasis on the students.

"I am trying to find out what students are concerned with so that I can provide opportunities for them to succeed on those points. I like to see people enjoying ASB activities, and I want to provide areas where they can put their talents into."

22 year-old Farrow is undP.rtaking his frrst political experience with a positive outlook.

"I saw that there was an opportunity to get involved in an area that needed improvement. Timewise, I am making ASB a priority. I am doing it for the personal experience. I like it (politics). I like seeing people, I likf' '!eeing results, and I like decisions being made.

With ASB I will be able to learn leaderASB president, Kevin Farrow, relishes his new ship abilities, meet people, and give (Photo by Larry Meyer) some input."

OPINION

The Telescope, Friday, September 21, 1984

2

Returning to school, paper has writer waxing eloquent Whenever summer starts to draw to a close and the Labor Day weekend rears its ominous head proclaiming the advent of another school year, I seem to grimace a bit.

That is, until I experience that half-exhilarating, half-nauseating feeling of academic pressure. (You mean I have to learn something?)

It always brings that recurrent memory of the very first day of school which is, I assume, pretty much the same memory for everyone.

Fear and misgivings creep through every limb of the body as feet encased in brand new Buster Brown's scrape the sidewalk. A shiny Batman lunchbox pendulums stiffly at the end of the right hand, while a pencil set with combination slide rule, compass and protractor are clutched in the left.

"Couldn't this be put off for one more year?

Do I really have to go? What kind of an ogre will my new teacher be?"

Upon arriving, the stale smell of Vitalis and Brylcreem, shimmering on neatly trimmed hair, fills the air.

Everyone sits and shakes and sweats.

But by the end of the first week you're an old hand at the game. You hang out at recess shooting the breeze with your friends on the blacktop.

As the years go by, you discover school is a very educational place. You learn how to swear, spit and smoke. You also learn about sex, more than likely not from the teachers.

So the feeling passes. Until that first day

comes around again.

You swear to yourself that you'll do better and that this year will be different. You'll make the honor society and/or the baseball team.

You'll be class president or editor of the school newspaper.

And that's where I find myself - editor of the college newspaper.

Those trepidations haven't quite left me yet, but as the copy begins to pour in, I'm beginning to feel more at ease.

Of course, as the year starts, it would be customary to fill reader's ears with eloquent, sublime principles and tell them how much I'll be willing to do for them and their newspaper.

But that would sound too much like the pep talk we all give ourselves at the beginning of each year.

Instead, I'll show more reserve. We shall attempt to be informative, factual and interesting, without being dry. We shall be entertaining without being frivolous .

I'm interested primarily of informing and being informed by the people on campus. The faculty is encouraged to submit columns or articles, photographs or features, as are the students.

In a sense, a newspaper belongs to its readers and the voice of those readers should be heard. All feedback, positive or negative, is welcome. It may even echo on the Telescope's editorial page in a letter-to-the-editor.

By Chris Reynolds

Editor explains Telescope's policy; urges participation The Telescope is a student run publication supported by the Associated Student Body and its purposes are primarily these: 1. To provide instruction in the business of journalism and to emphasize professional and academic approaches to all aspects of journalism.

2. To inform, entertain and comment on those events which it deems "newsworthy" and of interest to its readers.

In attempting to realize these goals the T elescope accepts those responsibilities that accompany a free press in a free society.

Meeting the needs of its public should be the basic aim of any publication. Therefore, the Telescope will deal primarily with those issues and occurences that pertain to Palomar College. This does not however, preclude national or regional happenings which might affect all our lives.

In conjunction with such ideals is the obligation to report balanced, accurate, truthful information. Readers should expect to receive this information in a coherent, well-thoughtout manner that exhibits sound judgement and solid reasoning.

The Telescope does reserve the right to critcize, question and evaluate issues and events pertaining to its public, but assumes those aforementioned responsibilities when publishing such critricisms.

The Telescope shall exercise its option not to print any viewpoint that it might consider racist, sexist or otherwise unacceptable to the students, the institution and the faculty of Palomar College. This does not mean however, that the Telescope wishes to commit the "sin of omission". All controversial issues will be dealt with by the Telescope's editorial board. Such issues must be judged by weighing

their potentially offensive effect on person or person's against the public's right to know.

At no time shall the Telescope print matter that is libelous. However, statements made in public, which are unfavorable to any persons or person, may be printed in their entirety or paraphrased, but should not be construed as a personal attack emanating from the Telescope.

Rather, it is merely reporting the news. Equal space will be provided for a rebuttal.

Statements made "in public" shall be defined as comments or announcements made in any meeting sanctioned by the college and open to students and faculty.

The Telescope staff further realizes it will make errors. The Telescope will accept responsibility for printing such erroneous information and will also do its best to learn from its mistakes.

The Telescope also accepts responsibility for its editorials, which will be referred to its editorial board. The staff will not accept the same responsibility for opinions and data contained in letters to the editor, feature articles or columns presented to the Telescope. These shall be the responsibility of the individual writer.

Guest columns, letters and features may be presented to this periodical, in accordance with its deadlines, by any student, administrator or faculty member.

All guest articles written are required to adhere to those same standards of journalism which bind the Telescope staff. Letters to the editor are not bound by these requirements, but may be changed to rectify gross mechanical error or to fit available space.

Cooperation and aid in the composing of articles where an expert or experts and their opinions are necessary is greatly appreciated.

Gridders run wild in opener, 42-6

By Paul Taylor They say it takes three things to make a good football team - a good defense, a balanced offense and the ability to win even on a bad day.

If such is the case, then Tom Craft and his Palomar football team issued a stern warning to the rest of the conference teams: Watch out for the scarlet and gray.

The Comets overcame a 30 minute case oflethargy Saturday in their 1984 season opener and used a tremendous second half to drub Los Angeles City College 42-6 in a game played on the losers' field.

In the process Palomar displayed all of the ingredients mentioned before.

Defense? The only points allowed came on a 60-yard return for a touchdown, and even then the conversion attempt failed.

Balanced offense? Leading rusher Leroy Lefiti rambled for 137 yards on just 14 carries, 9.8 average, and scored on runs of 11 and 15 yards. Through the air, the Comets struck for just as much damage. Starting quarterback Chris Batchelor completed 10 of his 17 passing attempts in just first half action for 118 yards.

Mike DeFabio came on in the fmal30 minutes and made good on nine of 13 aerial tries for 123 yards and a pair of touchdowns, both to Lafo Malauulu.

And this was not a good day, r eally, for the Comets.

"They didn't really start coming around until the second half," Craft said. ''They were very lethargic in the first half; they didn't play that well.

The score could have been a lot worse, we had three touchdowns that were called backbecauseofpenalties, which is very disappointing.

"Offensively, though, we did some good things. We were able to move the

ball well both on the ground and through the air. Defensively, we have some areas to cover yet, but I thought they played well there. They didn't allow any points, which is what you like to see. ''The linebackers played very well, especially Jamie Wynn and Robert Tialavea, and I think that's going to happen a lot. There are some real good players there. The defensive line also played well."

Palomar took advantage of a poor punt by the hosts on their opening possession of the game Saturday and a play later Lefiti was in for the first time from 11 yards out. The Comets made it 11 -0 at the half on a 37 yard Scot1.

Black field goal.

That was sliced considerably, though, when LACC used its big punt return for the home towners only points of the game, cutting the Comets lead 11-6.

However, Lefiti ripped off a 15-yard scoring jaunt, Black added another 37 -yard field goal, DeFabio threw two scoring passes to Malauulu and Mark Reed ended the scoring with a 15-yard run of his own.

Malauulu, the nation's leading pass catcher last year among junior college receivers, hauled in eight in his season debut Saturday, totalling 121 yards and two scores.

"Reed ran well," Craft said. "We ran him at both fullback and tailback, and he looked pretty good. And, of course, Lefiti had a real fine game. And three of our offensive lineman, Phil Southwood, Dave Bass and Leo Mendelson also had real good games."

The big question mark entering the game was whether or not a definite starting quarterback would be determined from this game. Both played well, which is a definite good sign for Craft. ''That is the key," he said, referring to his signal callers. "If our quarterbacks can play well, we'll do well in the conference. If they don't, then we're in trouble."

Saturday they did well.

Women's soccer team gets ready

By Ernie Martinez As soon as women's soccer coach Judy Mazzarella began talking, she displayed a smile indicating what kind of season she is expecting.

The Comets concluded last season with a South Coast record of6-6 and a third place fmish.

With returning players such as Lisa Chlebowski, Robin Holloway, Jeana Kanne, Dawn Posey and catalyst Bernadette Pasquale leading the way, it is easy to see why Mazzarella is smiling these days.

The fact that a talented group of freshmen, including Mary Hydo, Penny Busby and Felicia Franssens, all of whom made all-league teams in high school last season, has arrived on the scene doesn't hurt either.

Mazzarella, who has headed the women's team since the sport's inception in 1979 is pleased with the depth of the team.

Skilled players lead Comets

By Paul Taylor Casting the stern warnings of George Orwell aside, Tom Craft is very excited about what 1984 could hold for him.

Of course, you would too, if you were the coach of the 1984 Palomar College football team.

A year ago, in his first season at the helm with the Comets, Craft's team accomplished just what it set out to do. Become respected. This year, he wants something that will be more obvious to the casual observer - like wins. Lots of 'em.

And the second year coach has a gifted core of skillful players on which he will pin his hopes.

There are, of course, the two former El Camino athletes, wide receiver Lafo Malauulu and running back Leroy Lefiti, both of whom will be highly sought by the major colleges after this season.

There is a glut of quality athletes at the fullback slot. There is even more talent at the other receiver spot, and there are more strong arms at the quarterback position than opponents would care to count.

Add to that the fact that Craft will have one of the finest defensive lines in recent Palomar memory staring petrified opposing quarterbacks in the face, and it is easy to see why the thought of this season brings smiles to the faces of the Comet coaching staff.

In 1979 Palomar boasted the nation's leading junior college passer in Steve Krainock and its leading receiver in Jimmy Clark. This year's group could be much better.

Going into the season-opener Sep-

tember 15 at Los Angeles City College, the definite starting quarterback had not yet been decided.

Strong-armed Chris Bachelor, out of pass-happy San Deguito High School, turned down a scholarship from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo to wear the scarlet and grey ofthe Comets. He appears to have the inside track. Not far behind, though, is ex-Mt. Carmel signal caller Mike De Fabio, who started at Arizona Western Junior College a year ago.

Behind them are some more talented throwers in Escondido's Charlie Heintschel, San Marcos' Fred Tatman, El Camino's Ken Johnson and Ryan Beadle and Poway's Greg Anderson.

Whoever wins the Quarterback Sweepstakes will have the luxury of throwing to some of the best receivers in Palomar history.

It all starts, of course, with the diminutive Malauulu, who is small in stature only. The 5-9 former Wildcat led the country and also broke Clark's school record when he caught 76 passes in 1983, good for 1,180 and a 15.6 yard average, as well as second team AllAmerica laurels.

He will be joined on the other side by one of a host of fme receivers, among . them Rey Nichols from Mt. Carmel and · San Diego State, and exciting red-shrrt freshman Darren Phillips, from Clairemont.

When the Comets resort to the ground game, Lefiti will do most of the toting.

"I'm really counting on him to have a big year," Craft said of the sophomore back. "He's defmitely a major college prospect."

4 1

But there will be others, too. Plenty of others.

Mark Reed, byway of Poway and San Pasqua! high schools, appears to have won the fullback slot, but there is also Andy Fiamengo, an Air Force Academy transfer and fellow San Marcos High School alumnus Shaun McBride. Fallbrook's Paul Newlan and LaMont Parks from Oceanside will add plenty of depth to a strong position.

Providing the holes for Lefiti and Co. will be an offensive line led by returning starters Chuck Wilson, a 6-3, 235pound guard from San Deguito and center Eric Hegelson (6-3, 240) from El Camino.

Craft, though, is high on several freshmen, including guards JeffHorne, Dave Bass and Clark Wroten and tackles Mike Thorner and Phil Southwood.

On the defensive front Craft looks to have one of the fmest, if not deepest lines in the school's history.

"We're going to be very strong up the middle," Craft said. "The defensive line will defmitely be one of our strengths."

Heading the linebacking corps will be Robert Tialavea, a 220-pound sophomore, who Craft feels could be one of the better linebackers around.

Former Poway Titan Tim Craig is the lone starter back in the secondary from last year's squad, but he'll have help from a myriad of players, including All-Palomar League selection Robert Loigu of Fallbrook, Kurt Mack from Torrey Pines and speedy Michael Smith from Oceanside, as well as Mike Zinniger, an All-Avocado League pick from El Camino.
