Winning speech team returns

By Colleen Riedell

Returning for what they anticipate will be one of their best years, the

Forensics Squad, or speech team, is just warming up.

With approximately 25 team members, the 1983-84 third place national champions are very busy recruiting new members, fundraising and preparing for tournaments.

Last summer three debaters on the team attended the Arizona Institute of Debate (ADI) for a two-week seminar. About 124 students from the top 50 debate schools competed, with Palomar placing second. Missing first place by ten points, Bill McKinney and Dale Haines had a 7-1 record for their debates in the junior division, while Karene Ebinger received fifth place in the novice event.

"It was very extensive, intensive research and debate," said Me Kinney.

Ebinger added, "It was hard. The schedule was grueling. When I got horne I was just mentally exhausted."

Each year the speech teams at colleges and universities are given a topic to debate all year. This year the topic is pro-and-con the establishment of more rigorous standards for

elementary and secondary schools in math, language arts and science.

Those in attendance at the ADI seminar were given a two month head start essentially.

Ebinger also atttended the CITA conference at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. The subject there was basically the same as the ADI topic but rather than debating policy, the CITA debates focused on the value of the policy. Ebinger was voted by her peers as one of the top five speakers at CITA Looking into the fall, Bruce Bishop, assistant director offorensics, encouraged students to think about being a part of the speech team.

"It is open to anyone in any class, not just speech. The 'forensics block' is Tuesdays and Thursdays in the afternoon in SC-4. Just come in."

The team's first chance for competition is October 4 to 5 at El Camino College for a practice tournament.

There is a debate-only tournament at San Diego State University from October 18 to 20.

The entire squad will compete at Biola University from October 25 to 26. The whole squad includes the Reader's Theater, a pseudo-drama group, the debaters and externpo-

Full-time students take fewer classes

By Cyndie Claypool Although some students are still registering for classes, this semester's enrollment total may attain or even surpass that of last year, according to Herman Lee, director of admission and records.

As of September 11, more than 800 registered students were still needed to reach last year's total of 15,500.

However, Lee was optimistic since enrollment had raised from 13,795 on September 9 to 14,689 on September 11.

He expects a thousand students to register between September 11 and 23, when the final tally will be counted.

Yet, while the totals may seem to be increasing, the amount of full classes have decreased, says Lee. Because the economy is good·, more would-be full-time students are working either full- or part-time. This causes students to take less or no classes.

According to Lee, the day enrollment has dropped by approximately 500 students.

"These students are either working full-time or going to a university," Lee says.

Before the semester began, the Public Information Office was working to increase enrollment through advertisement on cable T.V., radio and newspapers.

Currently, Lee is in the process of carrying out the new president/ superintendent of the college Dr. George R. Boggs' suggestion by mailing postcards to students with six or more units reminding them that there is no charge to register for additional courses. They hope this will help fillout the classes.

Lee is also looking for other suggestions to boost enrollment.

"We've got to do more with the high schools," he said. He would like to see high school juniors and seniors enroll at Palomar for a class or two.

Due to lack of funds, Lee is limited in his advertising. If the money was available, he feels that fliers and phone recruiters would help promote Palomar.

raneous and impromptu speakers.

In order to support their many activities and to supplement their Associated Student Government funds, the team has rnanyfundraisers.

Currently, a raffie is in operation. The prizes are Thanksgiving turkeys and a $100 scholarship. The drawing is on November 18. Tickets are available from any speech team member or in the speech office in SC. The team is also sponsoring a high school tournament, a regular practice for them.

The Forensic Squad will hold a community performance on Saturday, Sept. 21 in the Palomar Theatre. This is basically a charity event with tickets priced at $1.

The team is also planning 1950's dance in conjunction with the wornen's basketball team.

"This year our goal is to be first. Last year at third place we were close. This year we want first," Bishop concluded.

Library exhibit will celebrate Native Indian In celebration of "California Indian Day," September 28, the library is hosting an exhibit throughout the month of September of more than 50 dolls depicting Indian costumes of the Western Hemisphere.

According to Dan Arnsan, public services librarian, the costumes represent Indian cultures from the Arctic to South America and include both ancient and contemporary costume design.

Also included in the display are several original miniature paintings and sketches by Robert Freeman, noted American Indian artist.

Sponsored by the American Indian Studies Department, other activities scheduled to bring attention to "California Indian Day" include "Indian Day" at the college on September 27, a "Fun Run" at the Pauma Indian Reservation on September 28 and activities throughout the weekend at Balboa Park in San Diego.

Library hours are 7:30a.m. to 9 p.m., from Monday through Thursdays, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.

Editor welcomes all; defines paper's policy

By Cyndie Claypool Well, here we go again, beginning a new school year. But for me this semester started a little different than the others.

No. longer do I have the last priority in registration. No longer will I wander per· plexedly around Palomar's illogically num· bered class rooms.

For no longer am I a freshman.

While some things at Palomar may change, the all·too·familiar scenes of the first few weeks of school will probably never be altered.

Chaotically registering for classes, waiting in immense lines to buy the expensive text books, driving in bumper to bumper traffic, parking miles away from your classroom these are just part of the routine here.

So if you are new on campus, take the confusion in stride, in a couple weeks things should ease up. And just think, after two semesters, you'll actually have some registra· tion priority and hopefully be able to enroll in the classes you need.

But whether this is your first semester or twentieth semester at Palomar, as editor of The Telescope, I'd like to welcome everyone back from summer vacation.

The main goal of the paper, which derives its name from Palomar Mountain's telescope, is to keep our readers informed about events and issues regarding the college.

Just as the mountain's telescope watches celestial elements, we, too, will be keeping an

eye on the happenings involving our own Comets.

With accuracy and unbiasedness, the staff will try to cover a diversity of subjects that we hope will be of interest to you.

Although we will do our best to publish a professional-style newspaper, please keep in mind that this paper is a student publication and a learning tool for the staff.

Also, we would urge non-staff members to contribute to the newspaper in the form of ideas, comments, columns or signed editorials which are always welcome in GJ-6, The Telescope office.

In essence, the Opinion page is open to anyone. However, we do retain the right to edit copy to fit our newspaper style where necessary.

Since we would like to print a monthly "Club Corner," we would request that any club or organization bring information of upcoming events to the staff office at least a week before the first of the month.

All submitted items should be turned in at least 10 days before the next paper is published.

Except in the event of an uncontrollable circumstance (i.e. the computers go down) or if there is a holiday that week, The Telescope will generally appear every Friday.

The newspapers are available in various places throughout the campus including the Student Union, cafeteria, bookstore, administration office, T.V. lounge, library and in the wall newspaper boxes around school.

Environment in danger

by Sabrina Messenger Could you imagine turning on your radio and hearing this song? "If everybody had an ocean/ Across the U.S.A./ we'd all do offshore drilling/ like Calif-for-ni-a". The Beach Boys probably wouldn't appreciate it, and neither would many expatriate Snow Belt people like myself.

Thousands of people escape the frigid winters of New York, Ohio, Chicago, and Minneapolis to enjoy California's warm, sunny beaches. If they wanted to see oil wells, they could have settled in Oklahoma or Texas.

Naturally, some people could care less

about offshore oil drilling. Oblivious to the responsibility humanity has toward protecting our natural resources, they only care about the money to be made. How about the money to be lost? One oil spill can mean trouble for several beachfront businesses, and the tourism industry.

San Diego County beaches are one of the few areas in this state that is still decent for surfers. If the wells are placed far away enough, no problem. But if there are oil spills, then what?

We are lucky enough to live in a state where solar energy can be a reality. Why not spend more time developing it, and less time devising ways to spoil the environment?

Former flower child finds times 'a changin

By Anne Husk I was a card-carrying, flower child in the turbulent sixties the last time I graced an institution of higher learning. I spent this summer vacation preparing for a return to college and felt certain I could pick up the mantle.

The idea that you can't teach an old hippie new tricks shouldn't be lightly tossed aside.

It should be thrown with great force. I dug into my closets for my beads and moccasins, dusted off my protest signs and found my Donovan records. I was ready.

The first thing I notice arriving on campus is the amount of hair. There is a lot less of it than I remember. If we did nothing else well in the sixties, we did hair. By contrast the young men of the eighties look like they just left the set of "Beach Party Bingo" with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello.

Where are the manes of cascading snarls and locks that were required of all selfrespecting college students during America's cultural revolution? We were proud the authorities couldn't tell the sexes apart. The world was divided between them and us and if you didn't have hair enough to shade Texas you were clearly one of them.

This fall I notice students resting and reading on the lawn, but not one seems interested in staging a sit-in or occupying the dean's

office. No one knows the words to "We Shall Overcome." I met a disgruntled freshman who is interested in burning his library card, but somehow it lacks drama.

Is there no one on campus disgusted with U.S. foreign policy? Doesn't anyone feel strongly about budget cuts? Is there nothing to be said against Ronald Reagan's performance in "Bonzo Goes To College''? The hot issues of the day just don't seem to be.

I see no protestors in front of the bookstore, no ringing oratory on the grass, and many more slide rules than copies of the poetry of Kahlil Gibran. They tell me the students even trust people over thirty.

I have a snootful of flexibility and catch on quickly. I can eat yogurt and plan on earning lots of money when I graduate. I can even plan on graduating. I move with the times.

Would anyone like to listen to some Donovan records with me?

Film presents war conflicts

By Sabrina Me88enger

"Under Fire" will be shown September 26 as a part of the fall, 1985 Cinema Arts Series.

According to cinema instructor Richard Peacock, this film is one of the best studies of the ambiguities of revolution in Cental America.

"I think it is an important movie in light of what is happening in Central America. It offers special insights on the general mood and attitude of the area as well as the political mood." said Peacock Starring Nick Nolte as an American photojournalist in Nicauraga, director Roger Spottiswoode weaves a story of fiction and reaity, a reality Peacock believes leaves an impact on the viewer.

"We do experience the problems of Central and South America through the six o' clock news. It's a safe, clean, political interpretation".

"Under Fire" is one of 15 films being shown on Thursdays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in P-32 throughout the semester, and Peacock encourages everyone to view them. "Many of these films were not shown in North County theaters," said Peacock "For many people, this will be the only opportunity to see them. I think they are a unique film experience."

Community marks Bach birthday

Career Center can he Ip decide tutu re

By Anne Husk

Doctor? Lawyer? Indian Chief?

Choosing a career is an important life decision, yet it is estimated the average college student changes his ml\ior twice. To help the former and cut back on the latter the Career Center has expanded its' facilities and moved to the administration building.

Judy Eberhart, director of the center, points out the facility functions for people who have some idea of a career goal and for those who have almost none. She states, "We not only deal with 'What am I going to be when I grow up?' but 'How do I get there?'

The center has a three pronged approach to a career search. If a student is unsure of interests and abilities, then a series of tests is administered. An assessment is made from these tests and career counseling begins.

It is not necessary for everyone who uses the center to begin this basic.

Many students simply want to know what options are open to them in their major. For example, a history ml\ior is building a background for jobs as varied as teacher, historian, librarian or antique dealer.

Eberhart is quick to point out there are no fast and sure answers. "I tell my career search classes this is not going to be a speedboat trip but a sail," she claims, adding, "This course gives you a roadmap."

The director feels the center is unique in this area. She gets students from surrounding colleges, people

searching for a mid-life career change and even employees sent by their companies.

The center has over 15,000 careers on record in a variety of formats.

There are film strips, pamphlets, directories and computers to aid searchers. Books vary from "HighPaying Jobs In Six Months Or Less" to the "Occupational Outlook Handbook" published by the U.S. Department of Labor. This latter volume gives information on what a job title encompasses, salaries offered, and future prospects in that field.

Information is gathered from a variety of sources besides the Department of Labor. These include organizations and private companies.

On a monthly basis, the Career Center issues a newsletter with timely material on career trends. The last issue had articles on comparable worth, salaries in telecommunications and why liberal arts majors may make better managers.

Workshops are offered throughout the semester on a variety of subjects.

The first series will be on October 16 to coincide with Women's Opportunity Week Resume workshops are held once a month. The next one is planned for noon on September 30.

The Career Center's hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Eberhart exudes enthusiasm when speaking of the center, emphasizing, "I think it's something everyone should do."

The committee then called each candidates school to receive feedback and information about the applicants reputation in an administrative J>osition.

After naming the three finalists, two Board members visited each remaining candidate 's school, a very important part of the search, according to Trotta. This was followed by a three hour interview for each person on Friday, June 21.

After the interviews, while Boggs went back to his hotel room to pack,

the Board weighed the pros and cons of each candidate. According to Trotta, it only took six and a half minutes to decide that Boggs was the person for the job.

That evening, Bowen called Boggs, saying that the Board would like to meet with him.

"I couldn't believe it," said Boggs, reliving the excitement. "They offered me the contract. I was really thrilled."

Trotta said that a main plus for Boggs was that he was rising in his career, and, at age 40, wru now probably the youngest president in the state.

Boggs' wife and three sons, ages 11, 7 and 6, were all excited for him, he said. They now reside in VISta. "I like the change," Boggs said of his new home. "I don't think I would like to come any other place in San Diego."

"I am a pretty stable person, but I wanted the challenge of a higher level of administration," he explained of his move after 17 years at Butte College.

Concluding, Boggs said, "I'll spend whatever time to make Palomar the best place it can be. I'm still learning a lot. Everyday I'm learning something more."

To mark the 300th anniversary of Johann Sebastian Bach's birthdate this year, Palomar teachers and students, as well as a number of local community businesses, have produced. a three hour tribute to Bach and his music.

THAT'S IT - Dana Hawkes, chairperson of the Communications Department, points out the professional way to produce television shows to a student. Hawkes and music instructor David Chase coproduced a television documentary marking the 300th birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Women's Center gets new counselor, location Suzanne Nemish, counselor/guidance technician, will be the on-site representative for the Woman's Center. Nemish, who is married and has two teenagers, believes that she can be especially helpful to other women who, like her, are returning to school.

"I have had life experiences I feel are valuable that have given me some empathy for where women are." said Nemish. "As a psychology major, I am interested in problems, and being a woman, I am interested in women's problems. I think this is a good place to be."

Plans are underway to launch a single parent/ homemaker reentry program which will include learning decision making skills, problem solving skills, assertiveness, finances, and job hunting skills.

In addition to seminars and counseling services, the Women's Center provides a referral service for women and men who need them. "We work a lot with the services on campus like EOPS, Financial Aids, and the Counseling Department." said Nemish. "We try to refer our students to the people on campus who can help them."

Students can visit the Women's Center at its new location, next door to the Student Help Center in R-10, at its new hours: Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 a .m. to 1 p .m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The Women's Center is closed on Fridays, weekends, and holidays.

'Brighter' times await Earth Science

By Colin Schrader

Although a lot of attention in the Earth Science Department will be given to the much anticipated arrival of Halley's Comet, the department still has a few plans set for completion this semester.

The meteorological staff is awaiting the purchase and installation of a satellite receiving dish. The dish would replace the current weather system set-up. James Pesavento, the department chairperson for earth sciences, said, "At the moment, the college is

3

leasing a line from AT&T. The satellite dish, once installed, would ultimately be a less expensive system."

A new acquisition for the department is the purchase of five IBM computers this past summer.

Eventually these computers will be used in labs to help students with long and complex strings of equations, such as the plotting of celestial orbits.

Each computer, however, needs a unique program to carry out its function. So far, there has not been enough time to design these programs.

And what about Halley's Comet?

"As far as I know," said Pesavento, "There will be no public night shows in the planetarium. There is a possibility that we will be opening the telescopes to see the comet, which will always remain quite faint . In November, instead of holding regular class meetings, I am planning on several lectures on Halley's Comet."

Unfortunately, the comet, which has gained such an outstanding reputation, will never be in an ideal viewing spot for San Marcos. It will first appear near the southern horizon, and quietly dive beneath, not to be seen for another 76 years.

Two Palomar instructors, Dana Hawkes and David Chase, led the massive project which began from a mutual interest in classical music.

Hawkes, head of the communications department, used the students from his remote video production class to tape the December 1984, production of Bach's B Minor Mass by the La Jolla Civic/ University Symphony and Chorus.

Chase, a music teacher and 12 year conductor of the symphony and chorus, acted as consultant on a half hour documentary script that Hawkes wrote.

The documentary contained footage from the concert, a demonstration of the evolution Bach's music has taken through various instruments and an account of the deep appreciation both listeners and musicians have for Bach's works.

Hawkes calls the project "a community effort in the best sense of the word." North County businesses supplied grants, while additional equipment was given by San Diego County Cable Review Commission and Southwestern Cable.

Dawn Lane and Brett Jenkins, two students who did much of the editing, were assisted by Public Broadcast System (KPBS) in San Diego and University of California San Diego (UCSD). Joretta Wright, assistant conductor of the chorus, as well as Palomar music teachers Dr. Brenda Montiel and James Weld, gave much of their time for the project.

The three hour production was aired September 6, at 7 p.m. on Cox Southwestern and Carlsbad-based Daniels Cable Systems and at 8 p.m., the same night and September 13 on Times Mirror Cable Television in Escondido. No other air times have been scheduled, but the production will be offered to KPBS.

Improved Comet defense won't rest

By Paul Taylor

There will be one contributing factor in deciding whether the third edition of Palomar football under Tom Craft will sink or float.

Although they appear to be much improved over last year's lot that concluded the season with another sub-.500 record, the Comets still do not seem to have the talent to compete with the big guys strictly on natural ability alone.

And so, it would appear that Craft and his crew are faced with an ultimatum if they are going to enjoy any success at all in 1985 - either execute or be executed "That's about it," Craft said. "It seems that we have the potential to be a good team- certainly better than last year. Especially on defense. We have some real good players coming back, plus some new kids that are really going to help. And the one thing we have this year that we haven't had in the past - at least not since I've been here - is depth. We're not going to have to worry about sending the

reserves in, because they're going to do just as good ajob.

"The defense this year should probably be able to help us in every game, and that takes some pressure off the offense, knowing that it doesn't have to score 30 points or more to win a game."

Leading that defensive unit is a secondary, possibly one of the finest in a Mission Conference which is generally regarded as one of the two toughest junior college football conferences in the state.

One of the strengths of the secondary is returning sophomore Paul McGowan, two years removed from Fallbrook High School, who earned his first team All-Mission Conference honors a year ago. Another big plus is sophomore cornerback Rey Nicholas from Mount Carmel by way of San Diego State. He joined McGowan with flrst-team all-conference honors and the 6'3" caper may be the fmest corner man in the conference. Curt Mack, a returning starter at the other corner from last year, will be seeing a lot of time next to McGowan at the other

Hernandez leads kickers again

Palomar's men's soccer team kick off the new season with encouragement and the excitement to win, despite a competitive loss at Fullerton. The Comets also competed well in a scrimmage against Mesa and swept by Orange Coast with a 4-0 win.

Coach Frank Hankin looks forward to a promising year with returning allconference halfback Danny Yi, left halfback Hector Hernandez and sweeper Shannon Dalton. Other returning players are Phil Toth, Jon Laughrin and Martin Ocegueda.

"We haven't been together as long as the other teams," Hankin said, "but things look very promising."

The Comets travel to the College of

the Uesert Classic to compete in a 12team round-robin tournament on Sept. 20. Last year at the COD tourney, the Comets placed third out of 16 teams.

This year's team got two outstanding transfers in Mike Dray, a center forward from Cal Poly-Pomona and Jon Cillner from Southwestern College. ln addition, the first-year player, who are expected to make contributions include Regi Sanchez, the Most Valuable Player in the Avocado League a year ago with Ramona, Jamie Diaz from Fallbrook, who scored the Comets' lone goal in the Fullerton loss, Steve Hancock, a goalie from San Pasqual, left halfback Joe Quesada

from San Dieguito and Mike Grindry, a fullback out of San Marcos.

"This year's team is very competitive and looks very encouraging," Hankin said.

Hankin's team seems to be solid and appears to have the talent necessary to complete a successful season.

The Comets had an 11 -7-4 record last year. This season's returnees, transfers and first-year players should pull off an exciting year for soccer at Palomar.

"In the last six years, soccer has improved greatly in community college," Hankin said. "Almost every area has a good team and this season should be very interesting."

safety spot.

The reason for moving Mack is Tom Kahlineier, who has looked very good, according to Craft. Jamie Crowe, the former Vista High School standout is also there, giving Palomar perhaps the best trio of cover people around.

This improved secondary will afford Craft an opportunity to blitz his linebackers more, enabling Palomar to put more pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Those aforementioned backers form one of the finest set ever to be assembled here. There is the 6'4", 225 pound Matt Franz and Jamie Wynn on the outside and a host of others led by Rick Wyland, Bryan Short, George Pool, and Kendall Weinberg.

Add to those the name of Tim Bush (6'1", 220 lbs.), a unanimous first team All-CIF selection a year ago at El Camino High School, where he helped lead the Wildcats to a county title, shutting out nine opponents along the way.

Bush's teammate from last year at El Camino, Casey Malauulu, leads this defensive line. The 5'8", 230-pounder has the combination of strength and quickness to dominate things in the trenches, and Craft expects that to be happening before too long.

Returning starter, Jeff Horne is at the other tackle, while Tom Sheppard and George Crouch have been the early leaders at the ends.

While the defense expects to be good from week one of the season, it may take a younger and more inexperienced offense some time to mature, and Craft knows it.

"The fact that the defense has the potential to be very good could have an effect on the offense," the coach said. "We can afford to be a little patient at the beginning of the season until everything comes around. We have good size on the line, some outstanding running backs and some depth. We have people to step in for others in case of injury or something, that's different from the past two years."

Freshman Jonathon Mitchell, an All-Palomar league thrower at Orange

Glen High School a year ago where he threw for 1, 791 yards, is Craft's quarterback "He's doing an excellent job," Craft said. "He's got a good arm and he's really come around."

Also there is El Camino's Ryan Beadle and Charlie Heintschel and Shannon Decker of Escondido.

After the first two or three running backs last year, there was a large drop off in talent, but that won't be the case this time.

Leo Toulomo heads a list of five quality runners. Shifty Le Mont Parks from Oceanside is also there, as is Henry Thomas, from Las Vegas, Junior Rano of El Camino and returning starter Shaun McBride of San Marcos.

Mitchell will be aiming his passes at a myriad of quality receivers- minus, of course, JC All American Lafo Malauulu, who has taken his gamebreaking talents to San Jose State.

Fallbrook's Bill Jawitz has been the most impressive, but there is also Harold Collins from Purdue, El Camino's Gerald Demery and Jim Klinehart, who was Mitchell's favorite target last year when he was second in the North County in receptions.

A real surprise for Craft has been the emergence of Moses Quiroy at tight end. "Yeah, he's been one of our real top surprises," said Craft.

The only part of the offense that is also experienced is perhaps the most important, as Palomar returns four starters from the offensive line. Chris Collins, Mike Thomas, Leo Mendelsohn and Brad DeBow all are back to solidify the line.

"I realize that we could win one or two games just as easily as we could win seven or eight," Craft said. "There are so many things involved. A team can't be emotionally up for every game of the season. There are going to be two or three times during the year when you're flat, when you have to rely on luck and precision.

"That's what we're going to have to do, work on our precision and execution. Because we're not going to beat many teams just with our talent. We're giving ourselves a chance by building a good defense. If we can execute well, we'll be alright. If not, it'll be a long season."

Water poloists could be better, even without Loedel

By Paul Taylor

How do you repla....e one player?

With another one, right? Wrong. That is the question - and the dilemma - Palomar water polo Coach Don Hubbard is facing as his squad opens the 1985 season.

His answer is simple: he'll replace one player with three or four.

Even that, though, is easier said than done, especially when you consider just who it is Hubbard is stuck with the unenviable task of replacing.

Peter Loedel.

All Loedel did a year ago was break

the school record by scoring 103 goals in a season. He also recorded 57 assists, second-best on the team. The unanimous first team All-Pacific Coast Conference selection and Junior College All-America pick is now playing at UC Santa Barbara, which is a perennial Division I water polo power.

Hydo leads Lady Comets in soccer

By Sean McLoughlin

Despite 11 newcomers and only two returnees, Coach Judy Mazzarella women's soccer team looks competitive.

"The team is strong, fast and has the ability to move the ball up the field," said Mazzarella. "It's going to be a builder this year."

Coach Mazzarella's players get their

first competition at the Annual Palomar Tournament tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. The Comets go up against three tough Pacific Coast contenders-Orange Coast, Golden West, and El Camino.

Mary Hydo a sophomore will start at striker as one of the returners, while sophomore Garbale Teona also will contribute at halfback.

"The Comets placed second last year

with a record of 8-2. We will be at a disadvantage with all the newcomers, but the players have the skills and drive to complete a victorious year," said Mazzarella. "The players are very talented and have great skills toward the sport."

Coach Mazzarella is extremly impressed by her first year players like Michelle VonFlowton, leftwing from Orange County; Dana Hill at fullback, and Kathleen West at rightwing, both from Oceanside; Monique Bowen from Vista at centerhalf; Anne Mushallo of the SDSU club team playing centerfullback; Kim Ellsworth, All Avocado League at sweeper; Chris Jocobs from Mt Carmel at fullback; Kim Jenkin ¡ from Judson Prep in Arizona at halfback; Julie Romaine from Liberty Baptist at fullback; Lenora Poole most valuable player from Orange Glen playing at goalie; and Lynn Brandon from Escondido, who just sufferd some back problems but will play in a few weeks.

"We have a very strong offense, and a extremely strong middle defense," said Mazzarella. " and if we put the time into practice we should place third this year."

To make matters worse, the Comets also lost their second-leading scorer from a year ago, Dan Bennett, who scored 53 goals. Also gone is the team's top playmaker, Joe Machado, who led the team with 69 assists and was fourth in goals with 26.

"Obviously, we're going to have to do things a little differently this year," Hubbard said. "Last year we had three all-conference players (Loedel, Machado and Bennett) leading that offense, plus Chris Koon in goal, and of course Peter was just super.

"We're not going to have that big scorer this year, but I think we will have an offensive attack that is a lot more balanced. It was nice having the two real big scorers last year, but it also made things much easier on the defense, as far as defending against us. All they had to do was stop our two guys and you could stop the whole team. I think we're going to be a lot deeper this year than in the past."

The numbers bear that out. Hubbard says he has 17 players on this year's team, the largest squad in recent years. As a comparison, there were only eight players on last year's team.

Leading the crop of players returning from last year is Fallbrook's Jeff Warner, who was third on the team in scoring in 1984 with 29 goals. Also back is Russ Schultz of Poway, Vista's John Hyde and Joey Parugganan from Escondido. In addition there are two sophomores - Monte Prentice and Bob Butt -who played in 1983 but sat out last year.

Hubbard is also very pleased with the crop of incoming freshmen he

hopes will help better the 5-5 mark the Comets compiled in Pacific Coast Conference play a year ago, good for fourth place.

Vista's Dan Rupp, who is part of the Junior National program and a high school all-America, is perhaps Hubbard's best addition, but there are plenty of others, including Rupp's teammate at Vista last year, Mike Salwach, who was an All-North County Conference pick before coming here. And Kevin Morris, who also earned all-conference honors as goalie at Vista in 1983 before sitting a year out, is also here. He and Prentice should fight it out for the goalie spot.

Salwach and Butt look to handle a large portion of the scoring duties from their two-meter positions, as will Warner, the top returning scorer.

Schultz was primarily a defensiveminded player a year ago, but Hubbard hinted that that might change, as he summed up the 1985 version of Palomar water polo.

"We're not going to be any oetter up front than last year, when we had Loedel, Machado and Bennett," the coach said. "But we'll be all right. Russ was primarily a defensive specialist last year and we still put him in there on offense a little bit, but I'll expect more scoring out of him this year.

"We should have more depth than in the past. Overall, I think this team has more potential than last year's. I think the twelth player on this team will be better than the seventh guy on last year's. That's how deep we'll be."
