Location of the San Marcos bus transit center on Palomar College's campus moved a step closer to reality when trustees unanimously approved the proposal at their Tuesday, Feb. 11 meeting.

Emphasizing concerns for safety and service to students, trustees approved a plan that would call for the North County Transit District to locate the proposed transfer center east of the existing main entrance to the campus, about 150 yards from Palomar's track.

Construction of the transfer center would be in a grassy area near Mission road and would require the NCTD to relocate the main entrance to the college just east of the center.

Club Days promotes groups

By Robert Rowsey

Now is the time for all clubs to come to the attention of the public.

"Club Days," a two-day event designed to advertise all campus clubs, will be March 4 and 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

All active clubs are invited to come and set up booths in the Student Union to promote their activities, fundraisers, scholarships, memberships, or anything else pertaining to club functions.

Trudy Vargas, a co-organizer of Club Days and member of the Undefeated Club and the American Indian Organization, says that the event will be a lot of fun for everyone and, "all are invited."

Club Days is an opportunity for each club to put its best foot forward early this semester and at the same time make money and boost membership.

Club spokespersons wanting their club to participate can call Trudy Vargas at the Handicapped Student Center, Ext. 2375, for details.

Future careers highlighted

Occupational demand varies

By Anne Husk

One of the services of the campus Career Center is to advise students which careers will be in the most demand in future years and which will be in a decline.

But there is not total agreement among the "experts." In the book, "How to Get Your First Job" by Eisman, the author says the new occupational openings between now and 1990 will be engineer, chemist, biochemist, geophysicist, meteorologist, physicist, life scientist, geologist and geographer.

These are in the scientific and technical spheres.

In the service occupations he offers chef, corrections officer, pest controller, bartender, police officer and occupational and safety worker.

In the health occupations he sees good prospects for psychologists, dental lab technicians, physicians, operating-room technicians, medical

lab workers, registered nurses, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, dieticians, dentists, optometrists, veterinarians, respiratory therapists, licensed practical nurses, physical therapists, audiologists and dispensing opticians.

He also believes there is a future for scientific and industrial photographers.

Eisman claims the worst career opportunities are for lawyers, credit managers, city managers, merchandise buyers, cosmetologists, embalmers, FBI special agents, hotel managers, funeral directors, mail carriers, and municipal police officers.

-·Also librarians, school cotinselors,· secondary-school teachers, college professors and college administration workers will not be in demand.

In construction and transportation Eisman forecasts hard times for painters, plasterers, paperhangers, airplane pilots, inter-city bus drivers, long-distance truckers, flight attend-

ants, air-traffic controllers and all railroad-related occupations.

In health occupations he foresees a lowered need for chiropractors and emergency technicians.

In the social sciences he sees fewer opportunities for sociologists, historians, anthropologists and political scientists.

In the performing arts he predicts a difficult time for actors, musicians, models, dancers and singers.

John Naisbitt, author of "Megatrends," says that in the future companies must acknowledge their primary resource is information and : their primary assets are their employees. The employees must feel their participation is valuable.

He also feels we are moving towards full employment and even possibly towards a labor shortage, because the labor force is not growing at anywhere near the annual growth experienced (Continued on page 3)

Superintendent/president Dr. George Boggs emphasized that approval of the project by Palomar's trustees is merely the initial step in the process.

'The Transit district must next convince the San Marcos city council that the location is a good one for the transit center," he said.

"If the center is approved by the council, the transit district will then have to negotiate a contract with the college," Boggs continued. "Our trustees will make sure there is continuing review of the center and that we are guaranteed protection and a measure of control."

While agreeing about a need for the campus transfer center, trustees followed the lead of the faculty senate in stressing the necessity of a regular review of the facility.

Dr. Harry Barnet, faculty senate president, said his group went on record approving the bus transit site providing: • The center is 50 yards away from the track.

• The NCTD hires a landscape artist, at its expense, to work with the appropriate personnel on campus to assure the beautification of the project.

• The board and administration are allowed to negotiate a 20-year lease with a review every flve years, with the option to cancel the lease by either party.

• If the transit center is found to be unsatisfactory after the flve-year review, the site will be returned to a status deemed appropriate by the college, at NCTD's expense.

Location of the transit center on campus was opposed by a committee representing the Patrons of Palonar College. Speaking in opposition to the proposal at Tuesday night's meeting were Dr. John Schettler, Palomar's former business manager; Billy Eddy, the college's retired superintendent of buildings and grounds; and Polly Pedjoe, a third member of the committee.

"Two petitions opposing the center on campus have been received by the board of governors," Dr. Schettler said.

"It will ruin the front of the college and the college's liability will be increased. It will create noise, smoke and debris."

"All buildings and land at Palomar are intended for eeducational purposes," Eddy said. "We are opposed to giving one-half to three-quarters of an acre of that land to the transit district."

"We don't feel the bus terminal would enhance the campus in any way," added Pedjoe.

'It's dangerous to continue the current situation," responded trustee Dr. Robert Dougherty. "Students should not have to walk across Mission Road to catch a bus. It's unsafe to ask the students to cross the road for a bus.

"Safety must come before anything else," he continued. "Legal liability is outweighed by the loss of a human life.

We have a chance to improve our safety factor at no cost to the college.

Dougherty concluded by saying, "The desire to have a transit center on campus came from the college as the result of the death of a student.

It is not being forced upon us be the transit district."

Trustee Mary Trotta said, "We will make sure there is no problem of liability. Nobody really wants a center on campus, but it's not feasible to have it anyplace else. Therefore, I will support it."

"Convenience of the students is important," trustee Leon Baradat said. "It's good for the students. I do think the faculty's position and Dr. Schettler's concerns should be seriously considered. I want an opportunity to get rid of it if it interupts the educational system. I won't vote for a contract that doesn't have a review process. I am voting for this tonight, but I do believe we should have a way to get out of the contract."

"I feel there is a strong need for some sort of rapid transit system to the college." said trustee Ralph Forquera.

"I look at it as somewhat of a solution to transit problems 20 years from now.

I am quite supportive of a transit system on campus."

Dr. Boggs added, "We're looking at the benefits to the college -- safety and increased accessibility for our students. Education comesfrrst, but some serious reservations have been addressed here tonight and they should be considered."

Kim Scanlan, Associated Student Body president, said that a majority of the students she had discussed the matter with "are prepared to accept the transit center (on campus) now."

In addition to a new enterance to the staff parking lot, the project would provide a passenger loading center platform with a landscaped earth berm between the facility and the track. Bus traffic would operate clockwise.

Space open in Bravura Deadline for the "Bravura" magazine, the English department's creative arts publication, has been extended and submissions are still being accepted.

Submissions should be mailed or hand-carried to: "Bravura", English Department Office, Room P-2. Please include name, address and phone number on each entry. Manuscripts must be typewritten and, preferably, double-spaced.

Students are encouraged to submit copies of their original, unpublished poems, essays, short fiction and photographs as early as possible in March. This is a chance to see your work published.

Patient undergoes dental warfare

By Anne Husk Watching movies as a youth, I always identified with the hero who could not be tortured into giving up vital, military information. No matter what ingenious infamies were wrought upon his person he/me would resist.

I now know I was deluding myself.

I recently visited a dentist and realized that two mild-mannered people approaching my open mouth with sharp instruments would immediately elicit from me the exact location of all my country's nuclear warheads. Then I would spill military size, placement and where the President was hiding.

There is something about full-size people trying to work inside my mouth that brings out my worst fears. Luckily, I was born in a nitrous oxide era, sometimes known by its medical term, "laughingus gasus."

When I go for my semi-annual tooth scrubbing ordeal I require the latest edition of People Magazine, a lollipop when the ordeal is over and a large supply of drugs. One can imagine my requirements for a root canal.

I called ahead to make sure they had layed in extra cannisters of nitrous and to see if there was any chance they could get David Soul to hold my hand throughout. I got a "yes" on the former and a "no chance" on the latter.

On the appointed day I settled myself into their chamber, uh chair, and prepared for the worst. The doctor carefully kept the gas controls out of my reach.

"Can you actually feel that?, he asked skeptically when my tense body arched out of the chair at the touch of his scalpel.

"More drugs," I mumbled.

Which leads us to some basic questions of the proper etiquette when one finds oneself in the twilight state in a dental chair. What exactly does one do with the tongue when four hands, two clamps, a mirror and two pounds of surgiccal steel are sharing mouth space. One may well be tempted to point it in the direction of the dentist, but selfpreservation usually wins out over honesty after just a moment's thought.

When I complained that the dentist was constructing an entire housing development in the interior of one tooth, the gentleman reved up the gas and the purple curtains of sleep dropped over me. I re-entered reality some time later and the worst was over.

I was cautioned not to hot-rod on the way home as I might be somewhat groggy; an unnecessary warning as I drive a Pinto station wagon.

I imagined myself escaping from an enemy prison camp, sneaking into Del Taco for lifesustaining fortifications (to be chewed on one side of the mouth only) and slipping back behind Allied lines to safety.

I was, of course, modest when speaking of my bravery to my comrades-in-arms. If the word gets around that, under stress, I performed above and beyond the call of duty, no one can say they heard it from my mouth.

Except, perhaps, my dentist.

'The Microscope'

By Cyndie Claypool This was supposed to be my first real Microscope column for the semester, But I have succumbed to that beastly little monster called The Flu Bug. As I sit trying to think of an interesting way to enlighten my readers about the $1.50 increase in campus parking citations, my nose is running; my stomach is gurgling, sputtering and doing sommersaults; my ears are buzzing; and my entire body is silently screaming, "WHY AM I BEING SUBJECTED TO THIS TORTURE? I DEMAND REST!" Obviously, I rarely listen to my body -

Movie shows unique realism

By Monica Nash "Umberto D." (Italy, 1952) came as a shock to the gentle taste of most movie goers when it was released.

Vittorio DeSica, a primary shaper of today's filmmaking, took a very realistic approach to the subject and style of film after WWII. Richard Peacock, communications instructor, said, "Umberto D. is a good example of the real problems of real people.

Told with compassion, it is a tale of an old man attempting to retain his dignity in the face of extreme poverty.

"No attempt was made to mask the poverty of Italian urban life. This simply wasn't done in U.S. films at that time."

Peacock also recommended several other films directed by Vittorio DeSica, taking on the realist theme. They are: "Bicycle Thief' - the plight of the working class; "Two Women"- exploitation of women at war time; "Brief Vacation" - escaping for a week from a crushingly bad marriage.

"Umberto D." will be shown March 6, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., in P-32.

unless, of course, it's calling for vanilla ice cream garnished with something creatively sinful like peanutbutter or jelly or fresh fruit (which isn't so sinful) or crumbled cookies.

Gee, I must be sick. I'm not even being tempted by the thought of my favorite pastime, food.

Well, if I was feeling better, besides the increase in the parking fine, I was going to discuss mail-in registration and how wonderful it was.

Here it goes: Registering for this semester was great. I got all the classes I wanted without even having to come to school to toil through the frustration and chaos of discovering that my needed classes were closed. And while others were talking about when they were scheduled to go through the trying registration process, I was already set with my class print out and school books.

My compliments to the wonderful person who designed that blessed relief from the common hysteria of registering.

How was that? Actually, parking citations and mail-in registration were really the only two topics I was going to undertake in the Microscope, that is if I was feeling better.

Along with not being able to write a Microscope, the horrid little Flu Bug, who has sapped every ounce of energy from my body, wouldn't allow me to write my feature on the student health service's new building.

The health service is a great service too.

Students can see a medical or psychological doctor or have labs and tests taken for almost no cost. Hmm, maybe that's where I should be right now.

Perhaps I will drag this run down body over there to see if one. of the nurses can chase away Mr. Flu Bug. Profound thought for the day: stay away from anyone sniffing, coughing, holding their stomach, moaning and looking absolutely horrible!

Note: Be watching for the Student Health Service's feature coming soon to a Telescope near you.

Refugee remembers flight from terror

By Farrah Golshan The other day my nine-year-old son was unhappy. I had given him a mission he felt he could not accomplish. "It's time to change your room from a child's room to a young man's," I had said.

"Pretend we're leaving for a long trip and you can carry only a few toys, put those toys on your bed and pack the rest in these three boxes."

As I walked away to go back to my newspaper, his large darkbrown eyes stared at me in disbelief. Yet his dilemma took me back to 1979.

I had been packing, crying, and talking to myself, not knowing how to crowd a lifetime of memories, hopes, dreams into three suitcases.

My American husband-in-hiding, our sonthen eighteen months old-frightened and ill, I was wondering if anything like this had ever happened to anyone before. Had anyone ever lost everything, everybody?

It was 1979, the year of the Islamic Revolution and the year of the mass evacuation of the private American firms in Iran.

We were some of those evacuees. As an American dependent, Iranians distrusted me.

Since any sign of sympathy for America and Americans left one open to the punishment and persecution of the new government, even my closest friends and colleagues had deserted me and my family. A new and frightening form of loneliness and isolation was imposed on us.

Anti-American slogans and scribblings covered the exterior walls of the shops and houses . Carrying their newly acquired machine guns on their shoulders, Iranian teenagers marched on the streets of Tehran.

Proudly they called themselves Pasdaran-the Revolutionary Guards. The sound of shooting never ceased.

At night my husband and I laid in our bed and listened to the machine guns shooting into the air and people repeatedly shouting on their rooftops, "God is great-Allaho Akbar-and Death to America."

During those nights I learned to be fright¡ ened at the smallest unusual sound; I learned to live behind locked and barricaded doors and windows and I wondered if we had a future.

Our future hung on the periodic phone calls we received from my husband's company informing us they were trying to secure a safe evacuation for all their employees with no real assurance for their Iranian spouses. They urged my husband to stay out of public places and to move, if at all possible, to another location. He did so.

We were finally given permission to leave.

With one suitcase per person-only three suitcases to carry the belongings gathered in four years of marriage and a lifetime of living.

It was a cold, rainy day that Feb. 27, 1979.

After five hours of delay in the airport,

controlled by the revolutionary guards, we walked with other American passengers toward the airplane on the wet runway. The guards followed us, their rifles ready, their eyes full of hatred.

We felt the chill of death and gusty rain in the most isolated corners of our hearts.

Silence was the only noise.

After another three hours of detainment, inspection and reinspection of our passports and luggage, the guards left the plane and allowed our Boeing 747 to take off. Iranian air force jets escorted us to the border of Turkey.

When the pilot announced we had passed the boundaries of Iran, the horrible silence exploded into laughter, applause, cheers and prayers of thanks.

I vaguely remember what followed. Crying and laughing at the same time, somehow I lost touch with what was happening around me.

I was laughing because I knew we were safe, we had survived the nightmare; crying because inside me a little girl knew she had lost her country and she felt guilty for her special joy in being free; tears of sadness, tears of joy because the awakening was so painful.

I finally understood that the people I called my countrymen, my friends had changed into strangers who could kill me with ease and with indifference. I realized I had no friends in my homeland.

Something horrible had happened to my country. No, it wasn't the revolution. It wasn't the existence of the Pasdaran and their machine guns.

It was the loss of humanity, understanding, compassion. Our differences in political ideologies had killed our kindness, our friendships, even our family ties. I knew then that for me the world would never be the same again.

And I kept asking myself, why? Why belief in different ideologies can dominate and rule humankind to this degree? Why do we have to shed the blood of our sisters, our brothers to prove our beliefs are the only just and right ones? Why? In the last seven years I have been wondering when and how we can overcome our individual differences and understand our eternal unity. Can we ever end this misery we call civilized life and really understand the meaning of civilization and life?

Can we ever give the gift of freedom to Sakharov or the thousands of other political prisoners and exiles? Can Scharansky ever really be free?

The other day my son was yelling from his room, "Mommy, I can't choose, it's hard to pick only a few."

"I know that, darling, I know," I said. "111 help you."

The other day I was wondering how Sakharov must feel.

Circle-K plans to paint 'P' Portrait art class draws

By Robert Rowsey

Business club Circle-K is looking for a few good volunteers for Project "P".

What is Project "P"? It's the painting of the big "P" up on the hill behind Palomar College.

William "Buff' Witt, a spokesperson for the club, spoke with animation as he diagrammed on a blackboard the separate areas the different groups would be responsible for the day of the project.

"We11 need a lot of people to get it done," Witt said. "So far we have ten people committed."

This is why Circle-K is beginning their aggressive recruitment process immediately. "The club has the opportunity to raise an estimated $3000 to $5000 depending upon the selling ability and productivity of students

involved in Circle-K," commented Witt.

The goals of Circle-K for Project "P" include celebrating Palomar's fortieth anniversary. They also want to "increase the self-esteem of Palomar College students" and "strengthen the pride of the San Marcos Community" while promoting "organization and leadership through Circle-K at Palomar," said Witt.

Pat Gualteri, another Circle-K officer, stressed the importance of the drive to recruit volunteers. "This is where speakers will go around from door to door here at school and off campus and solicit donations toward the project."

Dale Newell, a member of the local Kiwanis Club functioning for CircleK as a sort of"senior" project manager, according to Witt, was also at the

meeting Feb. 19 and encouraged the group to ask local merchants about a $25 to $30 donation towards the project.

Donations are tax deductible and the minimum accepted will be $3. For a $3 donation sponsors can count on getting a Circle-K button and, possibly, a certificate of gratitude. Circle-K members say that all proceeds will go towards the payment of materials used in the project, sending next year's officers to the state convention for Circle-K and developing a trust fund for the maintenance of the "P".

Donations will also be given to needy organizations (to be determined by the executive council).

Interested parties can attend weekly meetings in the Timber Room at 6 p.m. on Wednesdays, or call David Forsyth, Ext. 2500.

Technical careers are jobs of future (Continued from page 1) between 1965 and 1979.

According to the College Placement Council Salary Survey Report, the year 1985 saw an 11 percent hiring increase in the "science, math and other technical category." In the nontechnical category a one percent hiring decline was noted.

According to a study by Data Resources, Inc. jobs in computers and health care will grow at an average rate of more than three percent each year between now and 1995.

The Monthly Labor Review of the Bureau of Labor Statistics also foresees strong growth in health care, business and professional services.

They expect a high growth rate for computer service technicians, legal assistants, computer systems analysts, computer programmers and computer operators.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics and Eisman agree that a large number of jobs will remain open throughout this decade in what they call the secondary-labor-market. These jobs are low paying and provide limited promotions. They include clerical worker, custodian, cashier, secretary and sales clerk Melvin Celtron lists new technician jobs he expects to see opening up in the 1990's in his article entitled "Getting Ready for the Jobs of the Future." He cites energy technicians, (619) 744-3!513

SAN MARCOS R.V.'s

housing rehabilitation technicians and hazardous waste management as the top three job openings.

Eisman summarizes job planning by advising someone with their heart set on a decling opportunity career: "Don't abandon it; plan more carefully how you're going to beat the competition."

He advises choosing with the heart as well as the head.

students and live models

By Robert Rowsey Some classes can be taken at their face value.

This is especially true of a class in portrait drawing being held by Gifford Nicolaides, an instuctor in the art departm ent . The class has been advertised on flyers posted at various points here on the Palomar campus as a life drawing class.

Using live models, the class has been praised for instructing students in some of the fmer points of "drawing the human face accurately."

"Drawing a portrait is a real challenge; I fmd it very challenging to draw a picture of a person's face so people can be able to recognize it as that person's face," said Lauren Clapp, a student in the class.

Using different models was important to many students because, "you learn to see the beauty in each genre, and you begin to recognize the small differences as well as the m~or ones," student Sophia Leavitt noted.

Many of the students have been doing art, in some form, since they were very young, but even those just beginning in the craft felt that they benefit greatly from Nicolaides' course. "It's a very relaxing class," commented Maria Wurtc, "He (Nico-

laides) is really easy. He makes it fun ."

"You need to use different models," said Monique Martineau, a model hired for the class, "or else you get into bad habits. You can start to think that this is only what an eye looks like," she added, pointing up to her unmade-up hazel eye.

Martineau has been modeling for Nicolaides' class periodically for five years and expressed wonder that many of the students have been there for as long as she has.

"There must be something outstanding about the teacher, because there are many life drawing classes available," she concluded.

"It (the class) gives a student a chance to learn how to draw a face to their satisfaction," said Nicolaides.

The instructor was firm in stating that there has got to be some original talent in the student to begin with in order for them to experience growth in the course

Turner's jumpshot lands at Mira Costa

By Paul Taylor

Sharon Turner had always said there's no place like horne, but her actual horne wasn't determined until Feb. 20.

On that day Turner, named the state's top high school girls basketball player last year, said she would play for MiraCosta College next season, apparently concluding an unusual series of events that began with a report that she was transferring here.

33 points per game, including a county-record 62 in one game.

However, Turner redshirted this year and said she became disenchanted with South Alabama and wanted to return to San Diego.

Palomar Coach Terri Bamford said in a published report Feb. 13 that Turner had said she was going to play for the Cornets. But exactly one week later, Turner announced her intentions to attend MiraCosta and denied ever committing to Palomar.

Turner had accepted a scholarship "At no time did I ever commit to play for the University of South myself," Turner said. "I made a sugAlabama after leading El Camino High gestion, but mostly I just listened to School to the 2A CIF finals three Terri. I listened to Terri just as I straight years, and county titles in listened to Buck (MiraCosta Coach two of them. She was California's Buck White). Then I made my decision leading scorer last season, averaging entirely on my own."

White said he called Turner on Feb. 14 - a day after reading the article in the paper - and told her to "consider all the options." White said he talked with her again on the 18th and Turner told him she had committed to MiraCosta.

"When I heard she was corning back (to the North County), I pursued her," White said. "She's the best player ever to come out of this district, and I didn't want to lose her to another school just a few miles away."

One person who may have had an influence in Turner's decision is her high school coach, Ray Johnson, whom Turner said called her after the story was published.

"Before I talked with Coach John-

son, Palomar College was the only option," Turner said. "Now I'm just happy two respectable JCs in the area were interested."

When Bamford was notified Feb. 20 that White said he enrolled Turner at MiraCosta, she said she would contact Turner to find out why she had changed her mind.

"If she says she commits and doesn't, I'd like to find out why," Bamford said.

"She had been talking with me for a whole month. I had waited until she was absolutely sure before telling the newspaper. She had called me.

"I said, 'Do you want to come out here and go to Palomar?' She said, 'Yes.' I told her the newspaper wants to do a story and that she'd have to be certain before I told them. She said,

'yes.'"

"My choosing to come to MiraCosta doesn't mean anything negative toward Palomar and Terri Bamford," Turner said. Terri's a great person, but I've never played for her. I've known Buck for a long time."

White's wife coached Turner in a youth league and White said he has known Turner for eight years.

Turner said she settled for South Alabama after high school partly because her grades were not good enough to get into a more basketballoriented school She plans to earn an Associate of Arts degree at MiraCosta and transfer to a rnlijor university in the fall of 1987.

"I'd like to play somewhere in California," she said. "Maybe Pepperdine."

Does early start make Comets Ready to net another title?

By Paul Taylor

There is one suggestion for opposing Pacific Coast Conference women's tennis teams who don't relish the idea of facing Palomar again this year.

Mail in the season.

That is about the only way teams will get by the Cornets, who are corning

off another banner season that saw them go a perfect 10-0 in conference play, 16-3 overall and win the conference title for the fourth time in the past five years and eighth time in Coach Nan Haugen's 11-year reign over the program.

And that's the good news for opponents. The bad news is that no less than five players are returning from last year's team, making Palomar the definite early-season favorite to repeat.

"We have five back, that's good," Haugen said. "That's the most I've ever had and that's a lot of players to have returning from the year before."

Eldridge is optimistic about softball season

By Paul Taylor

The 1986 softball season has barely started, and already Palomar Coach Mark Eldridge can't wait until playoff time. It's hard to blame him.

Eldridge teams have lost 35 times the past two seasons - as uncharacteristic for him as diets are for William Perry- but all of that is about to change because he just may have the finest team he has ever fielded here.

"I think, if we're as good as I think we're going to be," Eldridge said, "It's going to take something rnlijor for us not to win the conference championship. We'd really have to have a lot of injuries or completely fall flat on our face not to win it. I can't imagine anyone in the conference beating us.

Our personality is that we won't lose games we shouldn't."

Eldridge isn't without his share of problems though, although his problems are the ones most coaches would gladly have. He has too many quality players who are capable of starting.

The starting lineup and batting order, according to Eldridge, would read like this: Linda Salseth leading off at second base; Amy McDonald hitting second as the designated hitter; Carin Adams third in centerfield; Shelley Leverette

cleaning up and playing first; Charla Reese hitting fifth from third base; Marva Schriock playing shortstop and hitting sixth; Sharon Martin seventh and in leftfield; Darlene Morris eighth in rightfield; Jill Rattinger ninth as the catcher and Danena Badillo pitching.

Badillo pitched in 35 of the Cornets' 45 games a year ago, according to Eldridge, but he said she would be in only about 20 this year because of the emergence of Salseth, who will make a definite impact.

"She's a lot better than she was in high school," Eldridge said of the freshman from Vista High School.

The problem with the lineup Eldridge had set was that it didn't include Stacey Liguori in it. That will probably change because, as Eldridge said, "she's too good a player to keep on the bench.

"She's just looking so good. She can play the infield or outfield, she's a real good hitter and our best baserunner.

Standing in reserve for the Cornets · will be Cathy Mulcahy from Carlsbad, who was the player of the game in the all-star game between the Palomar and Avocado leagues last season; Lisa Michals of Orange Glen, who is an "exceptional defensive player, maybe the best one on the team. She's really fundamentally sound and very quick;" and Linda Ketchum.

Those returning include Paige Ready, who teamed with Loretta Pevey (who has gone to CalBakersfield) for the first doubles team, Jennifer Aafedt and Jennifer Youngren from Fallbrook, Escondido's Jennifer Pusker and former Orange Glen standout Belinda Whitely.

But there is an impressive crop of newcomers to bolster Haugen's unit.

They are led by Maria Melbourne, formerly of El Camino, who is a graduate of USC, but didn't use up any eligibility there. Other freshmen include Yvonne Ybarrola and Susan Murphy from Torrey Pines and Claire Kamery from San Dieguito.

The Cornets at presstime were 3-0, having swept their first three matches of a tournament in Arizona before rain washed away the remainder.

The tentative lineup for Haugen has Ready at No. 1 singles, followed by Melbourne second, Youngren third, Aafedt fourth, Pusker fifth and Whiteley sixth.

Men's tennis evens record Glendale evened the Palomar men's tennis team record at 1-1, with a 72 victory Feb. 22.

The Cornets' only bright spots were turned in by singles player Tim Tran and the doubles team of Willie Baptista and Marcel DeNeve.

Tran also led the singles players Feb. 21 in the Cornet's 5-4 win over Ventura.

Also recording wins were John Cress, Tim Borer, and Baptista. DeNeve and Baptista also recorded a win in the doubles competition.

teams in the conference, I couldn't say who the favorite would be," Haugen said. "The only reason I say we're so strong is because we have five people back from last year."

The last time a Haugen-coached team had even close to this many returnees was 1977, when four returnees led Palomar to finish second in the nation.

"I think this team comes close to that one, too," Haugen said. "If I had to choose the top three teams I've ever had, this one would certainly be one of them and might be the best one.

Sorneone's really going to have to be real strong to beat us."

Indian culture surveyed

By Robert Rowsey

Ever wanted to visit "Indian Country"?

A trip into the heart of the largest Navajo/ Hopi Indian reservation in the United States will be conducted March 22 through 30.

Everyone is welcome, says Linda Locklear, associate professor of American Indian Studies, "but the trip will be a two unit class."

Locklear said that even though the prerequisite for the trip is a course in Behavioral Science, people going on the trip will get more out of it if they've taken a class in Indian Studies.

Under the present requirements anyone can take the trip who has been in either a psychology or human sexuality course.

"The trip will be especially valuable to anyone doing American Indian research, taking archeology, anthro-

pology, or any related field," said Henrietta Moore, department secretary. The prerequisite will most likely be more stringent next year, commented Moore.

Entitled the "Hopi Navajo Field Trip," the journey will begin on March 22, when participants are scheduled to leave Palomar, in separate cars and sleep in Flagstaff, Arizona that night.

The next day the group will travel to Navajo National Monument and sleep near Monument Valley.

March 24, at Canyon De Chelly (pronounced 'de shi'),they will receive a guided tour of the Indian ruins and will sleep in the canyon.

The next day members will receive a guided tour of the canyon itself and then sleep in the Canyon De Chelly Thunderbird Lodge.

Following that, Kearn Canyon is the destination, with a possible stopover at the Navajo tribal government seat

One-day workshops offered on Saturday Non credit, one day workshops ranging from handwriting analysis to substance abuse will be offered by Palomar at Mt. Carmel High School in Penasquitos, March 1.

"Anger: How to Give, Take and Drop It" is the subject of a five-hour seminar with Dr. Mac Eaton and Michele Baker.

This workshop is designed to help you understand that anger can be productive. Dr. Eaton is a licensed clinical psychologist with 16 years of experience in private practice. Time: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fee: $10.

Can your handwriting change your personality? Joe Mellon believes it can and she will share her ideas and experience in a seminar entitled "Handwriting and You." This seminar will be an introduction on how to analYLe and interpret the handwriting of people around you as well as your own. Mellon uses handwriting analysis to help her clients in the proper placement oftheir employees and also personnel assessment. "Handwriting and You"will be held on March 8. Time: 9 am. to noon. Fee: $8.

Ever wonder how you come across on business or social situations?

Through the use of video camera Hugh Kamen will satisfy that curiousity.

Kamen's seminar, "Learn About Yourself Through Video" is an experiential workshop and by roleplaying and support feedback, participants will

have a chance to see themselves as others see them. The goal of the seminar is to increase self-knowledge, improve self-image and to help discover more effective ways of expression. Time 9:30 am. to 4 p.m. Fee: $35.

Even without prior art or writing experience, participants can learn and enjoy from Linda Sunbow's seminar, "The Personal Journal." In this seminar Sunbow will act as guide through a variety of writing and drawing experiences which will help to learn the art of keeping a personal journal. According to the instructor, "Keeping a journal is an act of saying yes to your life forces and developing your inner wisdom to resolve areas of stress in your life." Time: 9 am. to 3:30.

Fee: $15.

"Who is Going to Take Care of Mom?...When She Can No Longer Take Care of Herself," will talk about how an average middle-aged child can help his/ her parents.

Series helps women's skills If you are a single parent looking for a job or career and trying to handle work and family responsibilities, the Women's Center has announced a series of classes aimed at learning to deal with these problems.

"New Beginnings" is a program designed to help develop skills in decision making, time management, job hunting and financial planning.

Each of these subjects is covered in a short series of lectures.

The first series, "Getting Started," covers values and priorities; planning

- what and how; the decision making process; and motivations and responsibilities. This series started Feb. 25, and is held on Tuesdays and Thurs-. days until March 20 from 1 to 3 p.rp.: in F-9.

"Women in Transition" is the subject of the next series of lectures and will begin on Saturday, March 1.

Window Rock, where the "Navajo Times," a local newspaper, is printed.

That night they will be sleeping at the Hopi Culture Center.

1'We will be visiting both tribal dwellings (of the Hopi and Navajo)," said Locklear.

Of interest to Indian Studies students, the Hopi reservation has within its border a small patch of land that is called Navajo territory on the maps and over which both tribal governments are now having an intense disagreement.

The group will stay in and around the Hopi Culture Center until March 29, when they will leave for home, arriving at Palomar on March 30.

About $100 should be brought by each person, according to Moore. This will cover gas money, lodge fees and food expenses.

It won't be all fun and games though.

Since it is counted as a credit class, participants will be given instructional films before and after the trip as well as being graded on the basis of a journal they will be asked to keep along the way.

Many contemporary Indian functions will be visited by the group during their stay, as well as hospitals, schools, tribal governments and museums (of the Hopi culture).

"This is a very traditional culture," said Locklear. "No one will be allowed to take pictures, draw or bring tape recorders along unless it is approved of by the tribal governments," she added. "They want to control it."

Interested parties can contact Linda Locklear at Ext. 2426.
