Group tutorials solve math problems He had a quizzical look on his face, as he glanced up at the four students, asking, "Are there any questions? Do you all understand what I've done here ...?"

John Lombard, leader of the new group tutorial sessions for beginning algebra students, pointed to the equations on the overhead projector as he answered the questions. "Have you all got the handout on steps to follow in solving equations? See you next week" Every Friday in GJ-2, from 11 a.m. to noon and from noon to 1 p.m., Lombard will conduct free group tutorials for Math 125 students.

These tutorials are designed to give the student another resource for help with math problems.

The sessions will keep pace with classroom instruction. Students can attend the tutorials to ask questions and solve problems as they are encountered in class.

Because one semester of Math 125 covers about one year of high school algebra, Lombard understands how students may have a hard time keeping up. "People learn at different rates.

This kind of tutorial gives them somewhere to turn if they find they are getting behind."

Doing problems, believes Lombard, is -the best way to learn math. He runs the tutorials as an extended problem session. "I heard a quote once that

went something like, 'If I tell you what to do, you will forget, If I show you, you might remember. But if you do it, you will understand.' " Lombard conducts the tutorials on an informal basis. He encourages students to drop in and ask questions, but says that attending regularly is a good idea.

The group tutorials are a joint effort of the mathematics department and Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS). They will allow more instruction and support in algebra concepts than the short, problemsolving approach of the math clinic.

Yet the group setting is more economical, and perhaps less intimidating for the student, than the one-on-one, hour long tutorials arranged by EOPS. Although the group tutorials are run casually and students are encouraged to drop in, they are asked to fill out a form. The program can then receive some funds from the state.

The groups are "designed to intensify and enrich the education process" according to Byron Gibbs, tutorial supervisor for EOPS. If the program is successful, it will be expanded.

Groups will be kept small to enhance individual attention. Other sessions will be set up if the Friday tutorials have more than 15 students.

For those math students who want help but don't happen to be taking beginning algebra, the math clinic and

the EOPS Tutoring Center offer different levels of assistance.

The math clinic focuses on immediate help in solving problems. Run by the math department on a walk-in basis, the clinic is open daily from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m .. It is located on the south side of building E. Clinic tutors will help with class assignments and explain mathematical concepts.

If a student wants in-depth help, the Tutoring Center can arrange time with a tutor. The tutoring is free.

The Center does not operate on a walk-in basis. As with the beginning algebra tutorials, some paperwork is required so the program can get state funds. ; The Tutoring Center 'office in TCB3, Ext. 2240, will give the st udent the name and telephone number of a tutor. The student may then call the tutor to arrange a time to meet at one of the counseling rooms at the Center.

Money available More than $57,000 in scholarship awards are now available.

A list of possible scholarships and the application forms can be attained in the Financial Aids om.ce in the new Student Services Center.

Application deadline is March 21.

Out with the old and in with the new.

After ten months of construction, the "old library" has now become the new Student Services Center. Dedication of the renovated building is planned for Wednesday, March 19, at 10:30 a.m. in front of the new center, with chancellor Dr. Joshua L. Smith presiding.

The new facility now houses several services and offices, including counseling and guidance, admissions and records, veterans education, financial aid, student job placement, the career center and administrative offices.

Also, a new Governing Board Conference room, which doubles as a testing and advising center, can be found in this 15,000 square foot building.

The interior of t he brick building, stationed in the center of the campus, appears very "comfortable" with plush decor and various partitions dividing the different services from one another.

Dr. Ken Burns, assistant superintendent/ vice president of student affairs, said that the "one-step center" will allow students greater ease in registration and expedite requests for records. Students will be able to move from one student service professional to another in a more timely fashion .

"Overcoming Test Anxiety" is the title of a one-unit course taught by Susan Monell.

According to Monell, a counselor in the student services center, some students become totally incapacitated at the thought of taking a test.

Through a series of steps Monell helps students who suffer from this particular phobia.

She first determines whether an individual student is suffering from real test anxiety, or from time management problems and poor study skills.

"Part of reducing test anxiety is making sure you've covered the material," explains Monell. She feels good study habits are a necessity for success as a student.

Starting with the first interview, Monell begins to teach the student how to relax. "It is a nice series of exercises," she says.

Next the student listens to some tapes at the Learning Resource Center and fills out a questionnaire about his

The student service center, which had been under construction since last May, was renovated as a "second effect" of the building of t he new library, completed in 1983.

The $1.2 million dollars allocated for the center's completion included such fundamental things as new wiring, new walls and even a new roof.

Burns noted that the total project has not yet been completed, and plans to refurbish the exterior of the building and its landscaping is underway.

This plan, which includes attractive landscaping the path from the visitor's parking lot to the student services center, focuses on those visiting the campus for the first time. The walkway will direct the person straight to the Student Services Center, where the facilities generally needed by a visitor or new student can be found.

As for the buildings vacated from the relocation of the various services to the new Student Service Center, these will be used as classrooms for English as a Second Language and Family Consumer Sciences.

Librarian writes about aging

By Paulette Oberle

Prompted by her own interest in the subject, Carolyn Wood, a reference librarian on campus, has completed a gerontology bibliography, "Aging in the 1980's; a Bibliography of Aging."

Wood began taking classes on aging at Palomar in 1978, but she was unsure of her depth of interest at that time.

Wood became more committed to the subject after taking a year's sabbatical to travel around the world.

In her travels, she observed that there is more provision and respect for the elderly in other countries.

"Ageism (discrimination due to age) like sex and race prejudice is based on fear," asserted Wood. "Our society values youth and devalues the other

Class helps soothe test taking fears

The location for the next semester registration is still undetermined, according to Burns. He noted that there is a possibility that registration will take place in the Student Services Center if returning students are scheduled for classes through the mail-in registration process.

anxiety hierarchy. When does anxiety set in? Hearing about the test? Walking to class on test day?

Along with the relaxation techniques Monell has students work on visualizing themselves in a calm setting. Then they begin remembering the anxiety of a test situation while they are relaxed in Monell's office.

Slowly the testing becomes associated with relaxation instead of anxiety.

"It is called systematic desensitization ," says Monell. As the student becomes calmer picturing the situation in the hour-long office session, he is able to transfer these feelings to the actual test.

Monell says test anxiety covers all : subjects, although, "math is the worst anxiety." The counselor says UCSD even has a class each semester called "RX for mathophobia." It's for students that are generally frightened of math.

How long does it take for students to become desensitized to test Reference librarian Carolyn Wood has completed a gerontology anxiety?

end of life, partly because we haven't known how to use older people constructively."

Her book "Aging in the 1980's" is intended to be a teaching document to help inexperienced researchers and senior political activists locate material in the complicated field of gerontology, said Wood . The 128 page bibliography joins the library's orientation handbook, "Library Survival Skills" class and "Self-Help Bulletins" in an effort to instruct students and community members in the use of the library.

Because gerontology is a complicated inter-disciplinary field, Wood divided the bibliography into five major subject areas: aging in general, social pyschology, biology, economics and death.

Determined that it would not be one, long, boring list of resources, she utilized a logo consisting of five interlocking puzzle pieces. Thus the bibliography tells a story by focusing on each piece which indicates "successful aging requires the integration of all aspects" of life.

To add to its readability, Wood included statistical graphs from government documents and original illustrations by Palomar graphic artists, Floyd and Elaine Collins. The graphs tell the story of the social and fmancial realities of aging in the '80's.

"Retirement in the past served an economic function which we can no longer afford," noted Wood.

The bibliography contains two indices - one by subject and the ¡other by author. Another unique feature is a list of the Library of Congress subject headings pertaining to aging.

Impressed with the thoroughness of the project, North Texas State University's Center on Aging in Denton, Texas is publishing Wood's bibliography.

Two copies of the bibliography are available to check out in the library.

In addition, copies will be distributed to all North County community college and public libraries.

A 20 year employee of Palomar, Wood is working on a master's degree in gerontology. She also has graduate degrees in educational technology, librarianship and library science.

Radio equipment baffles newcomer

By Nee Howard A whole new world has opened up for me here at Palomar. It's called "Beginning Radio Production." It comes with a brand new vocabulary.

When I was growing up, a pot was used for cooking potatoes, vegetables, or Wheatena. To the kids in my class, potatoes exist only as French Fries, and vegetables are eaten raw in salads or other ethnic dishes. And how many of these kids do you think have ever even heard of Wheatena?

Well, in today's world (other than standing for a banned weed) pot is short for potentiometer, a control. In our radio station, KKSM-FM, pots come as knobs; they control the volume of sound going out.

But I have a problem. All my life, when I would come near any electronic equipment, all the males in the room would stiffen and yell, "Don't!" Now, when I'm supposed to touch, I get so nervous that I'm just as likely to make the equipment screech in agony as I am to make it turn deaf and dumb on me.

In either case, I panic and run begging for help.

The kids in my class are a different breed entirely. They were born with earphones on.

They used stereo equipment for teething rings.

When they have trouble, they let out with a few choice"EXPLETIVES DELETED," flick a few switches and spin a few pots. (I swear it doesn't matter which!)

And the equipment just purrs for them and turns over to have its back scratched.

America, land of the slim and sweet-smelling

TV defines femininity for foreign wife

By Farrah Golshan Most of what I know today about American housewives-which ranges from the wine they drink to the underwear they choose-! have learned through television commercials.

When I came to this country seven years ago, a foreign wife of an American, I assumed that I had a reasonable knowledge of American housewives.

After all, I had been a local interpreter for an American helicopter manufacturer for five years, and during those years I had met and become friends with many American women.

They had not struck me as being too different from any other women in my country.

not understand what was wrong. I was scared to death to lose him to those women who were as dazzling as movie stars, as knowledgeable as computers and as energetic as energy itself.

So I decided to change and to become a real American housewife just like the ravishing ladies of the commercials. I have been working

Most of what I know today about American housewives ... I have learned through television commercials.

American father, Bill Cosby to be disappointed in you, do you?

3. Make sure your house is full of frozen , canned and boxed foods to guarantee you a happy marriage. Do you think love, understanding, and caring are the backbones of an everlasting family? No! You are wrong. The way to happiness is through Harmel, Kraft, Hunt's and Stouffer's ready-made foods .

When you prepare a boxed dish, your husband will sing, your child will dance and even your dog will bark happily ever after. Among all the boxed foods, I have to emphasize Betty Crocker. She can really "bake" your family happy.

4. Don't get caught dead without make-up or with gray in your hair. The exotic beauty of all those irresistible women you see in commercials is a direct result of the different brands of make-up and beauty aids they use.

Stock up on Avon, Mary Kay, Cover Girl, even Preference because "You're worth it."

5. Have a beautiful bottom. To be a perfect American woman you have to bear a perfect behind. If you don't believe me just count the number of bottoms shown on commercials every day. Have you ever seen Jordache,

But I was wrong. Within the first few hours I spent in the United States my opinions and at it for seven years; and in the course of ideas about the Americans in general and readjusting, I have developed high blood American housewives in particular changed pressure, a tremendous number of pimples and a painful ulcer.

But thanks to the honesty of the television After twenty hours of flight, the first thing my husband did as we crawled into bed in commercials, I can now proudly announce that a New York City Holiday Inn Hotel was to I am truly an expert in the American way of turn on the television set. His simple action life. I have worked up a list of seven easy steps was the beginning of my discovery of the real to become a perfect American housewife which I recommend to any foreign wife American women.

The rest of the night I sat up in bed, unable entering America. Read and follow my steps to sleep, and absorbed every drop of the religiously.

Don't get caught dead 1. Know your non-prescription medicines. precious information the American advertising without make-up or with Always carry plenty of them in your purse industry was offering me. gray in your hair.

For five years I had thought I was just ¡ and graciously pass them .out to anybody in another ordinary woman who could be pain. I suggest a purse full of Panadol, Advil, mistaken, with any luck at all, for an American. Anacin-3, Bufferin and Formula 44-D.

2. Use Downy for your laundry and Crisco to a lovely bottom is, wearing Slenderalls movies and feeling more tired than the night oil in your cooking if you want to avoid a guilt under your pants and skirts. You will be before.

Now I could see on the television screen complex, because you are liable to wake up amazed what a difference this panthyhose can the real American women, waking up looking at the middle of the night remembering that make.

A pack of loving, educated, single and gorgeous men offering you bouquets of flowers will follow you everywhere.

7. Don't ever be shy or conservative in talking about feminine protection products. In fact you can arrange parties, similar to T upperware parties, and discuss the virtues ofTam pax and Maxithins with your neighbors and their young daughters. And when your six-year-old points at the television screen, showing you one of these products, and asks innocently, "Mommy, what is that?" your are supposed to have a proper answer ready.

Remember the rule of the new psychology is not to hide the truth from your children.

And one final not: please don't think my readjustment has anything to do with the stereotyping of American housewives in commercials. No, I think the advertising industry is doing just fine in picturing the true American women. I also would like to express my gratitude to all hardworking advertising people who try so faithfully to help us foreigners become familiar with real Americans.

Incidentally, I do believe the commercials are only for the foreigners. Americans get up and go to the bathroom or get busy with household chores as soon as the commercials begin. It is only us foreigners who devour the commercials. I just wish the television stations would not interrupt them with all those silly, boring movies and progams.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must find my glasses. My favorite commercial has come on.

I just know I can find a use for Preparation H.

Orange Coast crushes swimmers

By Paul Hammer

For years, sports figures have been looked to as inspirational leaders. The youth of America have focused their sights on their favorite athletes, and have mimicked every move, action and attitude.

Sports greats like Pete Rose, Steve Garvey, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Mary Lou Retton, and Sugar Ray Leonard have combined athletic excellence with a strong commitment to community service and serve as very positive role models for today's young people.

Recently however, a group of talented athletes that do not set such a good example, have become the "darlings" of professional sports.

Throughout the 1985 NFL season, the Chicago Bears dominated the league. Their fierce style of play reearned them the nickname, "The Monsters of the Midway."

The Bears breezed through the playoffs and into the single biggest game in America, the Super Bowl. In the weeks preceeding the Super Bowl, the Bears showed their stuff off the field. They ranted, raved, babbled and bragged their way through the pregame hype with all the style and tact of a Chicago street gang.

To the Bears' credit, they did win by the largest margin in Super Bowl history, 46-10 over the New England Patriots. The Bears made good on all their boasts, as they completely destroyed the Patriots in every aspect of the game.

Let's take a closer look at our new pigskin heroes. The Bears' defense is the heart of their team. Players like Richard Dent, Mike Singletary, and Gary Fensich anchor a defensive unit that has received as much praise as the famed "Steel Curtain" of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 70's. The Steelers' defense boasted such great athletes as Jack Lambert, Donnie Shell, and Jack Ham. The Steelers played aggressive, but it, was never said that they put a bounty on opposing players as the Bear& have reportedly done.

The Steel Curtain was anchored by one of the finest defensive linemen ever, "Mean" Joe Green. Green was a terror on the field, but is also remembered for his kind heart. San Diegans will never forget when he helped carry the then bed-ridden Charger captain

Rolf Bernischke onto the field for the coin toss of a 1980 game.

The Bears' counterpart to Green is perhaps the worst example of an athlete to ever wear a uniform, the 315 pound blob William "The Refrigerator" Perry. He gained national attention because he hurled his fat frame into the end zone from one yard out. The truth of the matter is, Perry doesn't have any of the positive qualities that Green possessed as a player or as a human being.

The Bears' offense is led by the worst example of sportsmanship since John McEnroe, quarterback Jim McMahon.

Although he possesses the athletic skills that at best can be called average, his flamboyance both on and off the field makes him a complete disgrace to his sport. He showed up in New Orleans two weeks before the game wearing his solid gold sunglasses, and proceeded to shoot his mouth off, moon a crowd of onlookers, and totally offset any positive things that the Bears' charity video, "The Super Bowl Shuffle" was able to do.

On the field, McMahon played with the same self-serving arrogance that he has always shown. He butted heads with teammates following each of his scores. He started verbal and physical fights with the Patriots whenever one of them tackled him and whenever he had enough teammates nearby to back him up.

All of his physical skills pale in comparison to those of great quarterbacks like John Unitas, Terry Bradshaw, Dan Fouts, Joe Montana, and Dan Marino, except one. His jaw muscles must be much stronger from their constant overwork Perhaps the only Bear worthy of being called a true hero is Walter Payton. The NFL's all-time leading rusher has suffered through many frustrating years before finally getting a well-deserved championship ring.

Throughout all of the lean years, Payton never complained about having to carry a last place team.

As far as the rest of the Bears are concerned, they have overcome no great obstacle to become champions.

They fall well short of the character needed to be sports heroes. On the field, they are a fine football team.

However, they need to work a lot on their attitudes before they can be placed on sports' highest pedestals.

Netters beat Pima College

By Paul Hammer

Led by strong singles play, the men's tennis team improved its record to 23 with a non-conference win over Pima College of Arizona, Feb. 28.

The Comets, who won four of the six singles matches, got wins from number one singles player John Cress, number four Tim Borer, number five, Tin Tran and number six Willie

Baptista . .

Cress also teamed up with John Moreno to give the Comets its only doubles win. Cress and Moreno posted a 6-2, 6-1 win in number three doubles.

The Comets' next opponent will be Arizona Western which travels here for a 10 a.m. meeting tomorrow.

Palomar treks to MiraCosta March 11 at 2 p.m.

By Wendy Williams

After netting only a few seconds and several thirds in the girls' swim meet against Orange Coast Feb. 26, coach Patti Waterman admitted being "beat pretty bad."

Waterman cited the fact that several girls were sick and on medication as the reason for the loss. In addition, there was confusion about who was swimming what events.

"Overall, it was a disappointing meet," Waterman said.

Orange Coast, however, has been ranked first in the state for two years, and, according to Waterman, they have the potential to do it again.

Yet, Waterman is optimistic about today's 2:30 p.m. meet against Mesa.

"We had six solid days to prepare for it," Waterman commented.

The four girls who earned second were Patti Silva (50 breast), Kathi Mehan (50 fly), Janelle Sullivan (50 and 100back) andRhondaHaley(lOO individual medley).

Student recalls hippie lifestyle

By Monica Nash

Some people complain if they have to share a bedroom, growing up.

Roberta Korff's bedroom was the right side of the car hood.

"I grew up on the road, traveling in old cars. My parents were poor hippies. They were both teachers and kept us out of school. Dad got construction jobs. Mom was a car wife."

With her parents, four brothers and three sisters, Korff has seen much of t he United States, Canada and Mexico.

"Sometimes we would live in a house, then Dad would get wanderlust and we'd go on the road again. Until we got a station wagon, we would sleep sitting up.

"Dad had complete control of our lives. He would only let us read the classics. The book had to be 50 to 100 years old. I got in touble once, when he caught me reading a Star Wars paperback He threw it out.

"I was 14 before we had two Christmases in the same house. A neighbor reported us, and we had to start school. Junior high was easy, and high school boring."

At 15 her parents divorced. She was glad.

Sometimes her father was violent.

Korff was allowed no television or movies until she was 15. She believes she might have a longer attention span because of it.

Korff was a straight A student last

semester.

"The majority of students aren't serious. They're into partying, dressing up and catching boyfriends. They don't understand the consequences. I was one of those people."

She got C's her first semester here.

She attributes the change to some serious thinking about her future.

"I worked before Palomar and realized the working world was hell without an education."

She also married a medical student.

The nearest person is across the room-studying.

"We have to go to the mountains or something, just to relieve the pressure."
