Minority faculty, staff decreases

By Cyndie Claypool Jay Gonzalez's recent resignation from the tutorial department of the EOPS program was the last straw for several members of the newly formed "Minority Council."

"His resignation was the breaking point," said Charles Hollins of the counseling department and chairperson of the Minority Council, an entourage of minority faculty and staff which organized last fall.

A main concern of the Minority Council, which has about 20 members, is that the number of minority faculty and staff on campus is decreasing. And Gonzalez is now added to that figure.

According to Hollins, the number of minority faculty has "drastically decreased across the board." He added that a main emphasis of the council is not only to increase the number of minorities on campus but to look at the symptoms to see what's being done about minority practices.

He concluded, "Minorities are the last hired and the first fired."

Michael King, also from the counseling office

Palomar College

and member of the Minority Council, added that the number of Black, Chicano, American Indian and Asian people on campus is declining.

"It concerns us." he said. "It concerns us a lot."

King continued, "There have been numerous complaints across the board, from faculty and staff, of harassment, lack of promotion, lack of institutional support. The general feeling is a position of weakness."

He explained that the council "gets together to put forth proposals to see how we can get that reversed."

King said that he has heard some complaints from minority students, as well. "It goes handin-hand. As minority students see (minority) staff and faculty they will stay. Our approach is to focus on faculty and staff.

"The key is retention," he continued. "It's a two-pronged effect. I'm concerned with the generations to come. The patterns, policy and attitudes now will affect other generations. It's a cancerous trend.

"We need action," he said. "Dr. Boggs gives us lots of hope. He's been empathetic."

Volume 39 No. 22

Gonzalez openly explained, "I resigned According to a paper outlining the concerns discussed with superintendent/president Dr. because I was tired of putting up with this George Boggs last November, problem areas crap.

"This whole thing has been nightmarish; it that have arisen with regards to minority employees include: hiring practices; staffing brings out the worst. I can't fully understand patterns - no opportunity for promotion and it," he said of a six-year-old conflict with the punitive evaluation with no recourse; affirma- personnel in EOPS. tive action; institutional committee - com"There was too much stress and tension mittee membership and major hiring committees; multi-cultural studies - elimination and and no sign of a solution," he said.

The Minority Council, which holds open Gonzalez said that Dr. Boggs had formed meetings once a month, keeps in commun¡ a committee last November "to gain informaication with Boggs, who set up a task force to advise him as he addresses the outlined tion" regarding a problem that caused 16 of Palomar's employees to leave the EOPS problems.

"Le Pas de Quatre," an 1840's

romantic ballet, will be directed by Eugenia Keefer, as well as "Peasant Pas de Deux" from the ballet "Giselle."

Additional student pieces include solos and a duet by Selena Weir and Beth Wright. Palomar alumni, Faith Jensen -Ismay, Ray Caldito and Linda Illig will also perform and choreography by Karnoff and Leslie Torreson will be presented.

The MiraCosta College performance features selections from the Palomar concert as well as a lyrical modern dance work "Crysalis," choreographed 'by Mimi Mills to a musical collage by Steve Roach, a 50's rock and roll number to music from "Back to the Future," and a new wave jazz number to music by Diana Ross.

Food Bank cupboard depleted

By Anne Husk

Bob Klug's cupboard is bare.

Partly because of the time of year, and partly because of a five week hold-up on the April1 Pell Grants, the Food Bank is almost out of food and funds.

Klug, the Food Bank director, says about 90 percent of the people who receive assistance are single parents. No one seems to know why the Pell Grants were over a month late, but Klug says it forced several students to drop out of school who could not hold on any longer. Klug was able to pull others through.

"Fortunately, there was a Food Bank to help cushion the blow," says Klug. "I had up to nine people

at a time in here. In three years I had never seen anything like that."

He adds he went through three month::, of his budget in three weeks.

The Food Bank was started by Klug three years ago and is entirely supported by private donations from students, administration and the surrounding community.

During the first part of June a canned food drive will be held to restock the shelves of the facility which will be open all summer.

Klug's philosophy is that nobody in America should be going hungry and certainly nobody in this community. He says, "If I could get a $1 donation from everybody (on campus) , this thing co uld live forever."

ITS 100 RISK~,,

'The Microscope'

By Cyndie Claypool I walk into the large auditorium bedecked in a black robe and square cap.

The room is empty. I find one lone seat in the sea of empty chairs.

I focus on the stage in front of me and see a man, dressed like myself, speaking to the pseudo audience.

"Do I have the wrong date?" I wonder to myself.

Suddenly, the man announces," ... And the graduating class of Palomar College, Cynthia M. Claypool."

A microscopic group of two or three people, which I hadn't noticed before, applaud politely.

Even when graduating, I stand alone.

At least, this is how I picture the graduation ceremony that my family says I should attend.

Well, I have worked hard for my A.A. degree, but...

Gee, mom, no one I know is going through graduation ceremony. I would hate to be the only one.

How 'bout it, dearest reader and beloved friend? Don't you want to go through the graduation ceremony with me? You worked hard. I worked hard. We deserve to be recognized.

With all apathy aside, won't you join me

What a way to spend a Sunday. A Padres' baseball game followed by a concert by the Beach Boys.

Everything was perfect: the sun was warm, the sky was blue and cloudless. It seemed as if nothing could spoil my wonderful afternoon.

In fact, not even the Padres' 8-3 defeat at the hands of the Montreal Expos tarnished the sterling day.

What did manage to ruin the day, was a series of events caused by idiot mentality.

The combination of a seven-run Expo first inning, the hot sun, the very crowded stands and the large quantity of alcohol consumed by certain members of the crowd, created many problems.

Just in the section I sat, there were two fights, three near fights, a group of people throwing and spitting beer at each other, a woman in front of me who could not find it in her heart to sit down, a group behind me who wouldn't shut up about the woman in front of me, and numerous obscenities shouted by these people at each other and the security guards.

A major contributing factor to these problems was the front offices' own mistake.

In their infinite wisdom, they lifted a stadium rule that stops the sale of beer after the

Drunks in crowd, fights ruin game/concert for all

seventh inning.

It was changed because of the concert following the game. As it turned out, this was not a wise decision.

After an hour long wait in the hot sun, the two fully intoxicated members of the crowd were ready to explode.

During the hour and a half of the concert, there were three more fights and a score of other problems that severely understaffed security guards had to deal with.

The worst of these problems was the desire of many of the idiots to run onto the field during the concert. Despite warnings that anyone doing so would get ejected and arrested, at least 30 fans tried their luck, risking arrest and potential bodily harm in order to spend ten seconds on the field.

This problem actually got worse as more people were ejected, and requests from the Beach Boys themselves even proved to be useless.

As for the concert, at least the part I could hear, it was wonderful.

It was their expert showmanship that kept the event from falling completely on its face.

Overall, had the proper steps been taken in regard to alcohol consumption and had the security been properly set up, the day would have been perfect.

'P' apology, credit told

By Robert Rowsey Sometimes in the course of journalistic endeavors it becomes necessary for matters to be set slightly straight, or at least an honorable attempt should be made towards doing so.

I have much to learn, I'm sure, before I am a great authority in matters of journalistic professionalism, as perhaps recent developments indicate. An example of which is the follow-up story I wrote a few weeks ago on Project "P." Well, fact is, much of the body of the story, including quotes from previous administrative staff, was compiled in another article by a reporter that I had not credited in my story.

This was brought to my attention by a phone call from that reporter after The Telescope had been printed. Please consider this article my formal apology.

I'm sorry.

In 1859, according to the Time/Life book "The Chroniclers," Greeley was the most influential journalist of his time when he left his paper for a few months on a trip out west to cover the story of the century.

The country's North/South political tensions were pushing both sides to look west for any bit of economic, political or military advantage that could be had. Greeley would support or quell the rousing rumors about timber, gold and other valuable resources in the region.

En route, his party came upon another I don't know if it has to do with the way I was raised, but I usually can't help liking people who are hard workers. Horace Greeley, New York Tribune editor just before the Civil War, was a hard worker.

group whose wagon had become stuck.

Greeley got out without being asked and put his shoulder to the wheel to help the people out of their jam. One man in the other party asked Greeley what line of work he was in.

Greeley told him he worked for the "Tribune."

The emigrant didn't know who he was talking to and asked if that was "old Greeley's" paper. Greeley just replied that yes, it was, and left it at that.

I tell you this story not to define sterling humility. Greeley may not have cared to admit that here was the big city editor sweating in the mud along with every one else, but to hopefully illustrate the doer aspect of journalism that made his dispatches full and complete.

And to that extent I'd like to thank the reporter with the San Marcos Courier, Patricia Morris, a doer, for her work in the article I used as background information for my history of the "P." Old Greeley would've been proud of her.

A recent "Evening of Readings" containing much entertaining, award-winning materials was attended by speech students and their families. I saw no supporting administration, staff or students. Kathy Waste, an excellent teacher and a leader of the speech team, may be forced to leave Palomar because administrators can't give her the full-time teaching position she needs.

Birthday backfires Celebration evokes thoughts as Easterner studies Western life

By Farrah Golshan Today's my birthday, and I feel philosophical and nostalgic.

I've been reviewing my life all day, examining the small differences and the big differences that the passing of one year can bless or curse our lives with.

Purposely, I've avoided the mirror.

The physical aging is never easy. My vanity forces me to desire a firm, tight, young body; my task-oriented mind nags at me to accept the reality of life.

Yet I feel psychological aging is by far more difficult than the biological one. The inner growth is always more painful.

My inner being has been questioning me all day. In what ways have I grown?

What new dimensions have been added to my life? Where am I going?

What's the meaning of my life? How am I coping with being a foreigner, an alien in America?

The cultural, historical, geographical differences between the Middle Eastern countries and America have caused me to reflect and to gain some inner growth.

But I still don't understand the Americans.

There are both invisible and visible walls that Americans erect around themselves. I've been too busy to notice them lately.

In my culture, people stand close, physically close, to their friends as they talk. At times they might hold hands or even rest their hands on their friends' shoulders.

Every day I have to remind myself that Americans don't like to be touched-particularly by the people from the same sex-that I shouldn't invade their bubble of personal space.

Every day I find myself backing away from people in order to maintain an acceptable physical distance between us.

At the beginning I thought Americans were aloof and cold. Now I know better. I've learned that Americans don't like to get involved with other people's lives. They're frightened to become "too" important to other people.

If they're loved, they want this love to be somewhat controlled and sane.

The thought of somebody else becoming too important to them bothers them. Or is it the anticipation of pain and possible separation that frightens them?

My first reaction to the change was rejection. "I don't understand these people; they're weird," I used to mumble to myself seven years ago.

Where I come from, you didn't love a person if he wasn't too important to you. If you didn't whisper in his ears over and over again that you loved him, cherished him, then he wasn't the center of your life.

A few times we saw some of our neighbors coming home. I thought it was the perfect time to march up to them and introduce myself. Before I could fmish my thought, they had driven into their garages and had closed their automatic garage doors without getting out of their cars.

"Are they robots or real people?" I often wondered.

In my country neighbors knew each other. They took time, sometimes too much time I used to think, to stop and to say bello. There was always somebody at home, the mother-in-law, the children, the housewife or the housekeeper. They often called out to you as you passed by their windows, asking you about your family, your child, your work.

I was missing those little chats that I used to despise so much, and considered a waste of time.

Later on my husband wanted to put up fences around our yard. I fought the idea vehemently. I wanted to leave my yard open so I could see the neighbors, could talk with them and have a false sense of openness.

Our neighbors on both sides put in fences anyway. I felt trapped in my yard.

As the years passed, I moved from rejection, to mocking, to criticizing and fmally to accepting the American way of life. I grew accustomed to my fence, I bought an automatic garage door opener and I learned to wave hello to my neighbors from a safe

NOTHIN' BUT THE HITS

distance. An occasional cup of tea with one of my neighbors satisfied my thirst for friendship.

Somehow when we grow up in one culture, we accept it as a "normal" way of life. We don't think about the way people behave. But when this process is interrupted, when we're thrown into a new culture, a new environment, everything seems different, difficult, strange.

Every day I put my son, two years old then, in his stroller and walked around our new house in our new development. We gazed at the beautiful yards, the beautiful drapes we ¡c ould see hanging inside the windows, the beautiful flower pots next to the entrances. We never saw a living soul.

96 KKOSFM

If we don't spoil the people we love, who will ever spoil them? Life is too difficult, too temporary, too unpredictable to let love pass by unnoticed or in a lukewarm fashion.

Yet I remember how utterly disturbed I was by the intensity of life in my country, Many times I'd wished for people to leave each other alone and not to get involved with each other's affairs so much.

The never ending interference of parents and even aunts and uncles in the young people's lives always left me confused and angry. ¡ There were times that I'd wished to live in a peaceful foreign land where no friends and nobody could tell me what was expected of me within the family circle. I'd wished some room for my personal growth without feeling guilty.

As I think about all this I see how much I've changed. I don't walk in my neighborhood any longer. Behind my fence, I've planted bushes. Over the years I've allowed them to grow much taller than our fence. I've cherished the added privacy.

Yesterday, I saw a young woman pushing a stroller up the hill. She stopped in front of my house, stared at my beautiful yard, my beautiful drapes, my beautiful potted plant in the entry way. Behind the drapes, I watched her silently.

Perhaps my next step will be to: . make the East and the West meet somewhere in my heart. To become a little more of the Eastern woman I used to be without losing my Western individuality.

I think 111 invite the young woman in today if she passes by my house again, and celebrate my birthday with her and her child.

MINORITY (Continued from page 1) Director of EOPS, John Erickson, was "not at liberty to discuss his (Gonzalez's) resignation," but suggested that Byron Gibbs, Gonzalez's supervisor, would have an explanation.

Gibbs said that "physical ailments" was probably the source of Gonzalez's resignation. He added that their relationship was "very compatible, but he did not confide in me."

According to Gibbs, Gonzalez was the person in charge of the tutorial program and interviewed the student supervisors, made assignments and kept records.

Gibbs added that Dr. David Chappie, dean of student services, would have more information.

Chappie was unavailable for comment.

Adele Flores, a counselor in EOPS and also the longest employee of that department, said Gonzalez resigned "because of pressure."

She also offered an explanation of his duties, "Jay Gonzalez was selected as coordinator of tutorial component.

He trained peer counselors.

'Luna' movie about opera singer, son screens May 29

The movie stars Jill Clayburgh. "It is unusual for a foreign fllm to be done in English and star an American," said Richard Peacock, communications and cinema instructor. "The movie is focusing on the mother aspect of Clayburgh's character. She is loving

Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, "Luna" is an "exquisite-looking fllm.

Bertolucci's movies are almost trendy in visual style, but strongly political in subject matter. He will take on controversial subjects and deal with them in a depth that is rather rare.

He is best known in this country for directing 'Last Tango in Paris', which starred Marlon Brando," Peacock concluded.

Peacock experiences life's challenges

By Monica Nash "There is always some interest or challenge around the corner. I try to stay open to it. I say 'yes' before I say 'no' to life. That's gotten me in trouble sometimes, but it sure can be exciting," said Richa rd Peacock, communications and cinema instructor.

This is just one of the aspects of Peacock, a man of many interests. His openness to life has led to a variety of experiences. At various times, he has been a Marine, a monk, movie maniac, writer, war protester and instructor at Palomar for 20 years.

Born and raised in Detroit, Peacock attended a Jesuit high school. He went to Notre Dame from there, but quit after a few years to join the Marines.

A Korean veteran, he was stationed on a ship for a couple of years. "That was my death wish I suppose," he said.

"I was shocked by the discipline and the stupidity of the war games. It forced me to mature and look around RICHARD PEACOCK at the world. I began to say to myself, 'This can't be all there is!'."

Peacock went into a "deeply per- school, after leaving the monastery. sonal religious phase" and entered St. Working his way through college by Benedict's, a Trappist Monastery in teaching at the high school andjr. high South Carolina. "It was a fantastic level, he got his BA at University of experience. I lived life as it was lived Windsor in Canada and MA at Wayne in 1100 A.D. The motto was 'work and State U. in Detroit. His "big break" was pray.' We did a lot of both. I slept in an offer of a position as instructor at my clothes on a straw mattress. Up UCSD.

spectators, armchair quarterbacks."

Peacock vigorously protested Vietnam and ran for office on the "Peace and Freedom Party" ticket. "I was tired of marching and wanted a way to speak out."

He started an interest in film at this point, and became a "film maniac," seeing four to five movies a week In the early 70s he helped open the La Paloma in Encinitas and did the schedule for the theatre. Today, he still goes to three or four movies a week and tries to see every one that comes out. "I will tuck a film into a day, if possible. I have 100,000 miles on my car, from traveling to San Diego or Los Angeles to see films."

A couple of years ago, Peacock published his first book, which he coauthored, called "Learning to Leave."

To illustrate a point, he reaches for a sack and takes out a t-shirt he purchased at the Palomar bookstore.

The motto on the shirt was, "It's better to divorce than to murder." He said, "It is possible to divorce in a humane and civil way. If we don't physically murder people, we often psychologically murder them, and the damage is done. " It led me to investigate the subject.

Writing the book was hard work and took a personal toll, but I don't regret it. I've been divorced twice, have four children and have made more than my share of mistakes. I used my

experience. My co-author and I accomplished exactly what we set out to do and there is an esthetic beauty in that."

Peacock has several projects going at this time, one of which is a video that he is distributing to birth centers, called "Men and Childbirth." He witnessed the birth of his twin children and filmed the occasion. They were born at home. He strongly advocates that men get involved with the birth of their children.

Another project is a screenplay that he has just fmished. It's a political thriller. "I'm sending it to .an agent in Hollywood. The combination of my interest in literature and film was the catalyst to writing screenplays. That interest has pushed me further into the Hollywood scene."

Peacock spoke of his latest interest with enthusiasm. "In the last year, one of the most exciting things I've discovered was American Indian teachings. If there is hope for our culture, it is in the wisdom of those roots. It is so subtle, it puts our tinker-toy technology in its place. When you get down to it, the basic elements of life are not computers and missiles, but earth, wind, fue and water."

After 20 years at Palomar, Peacock summarizes his feeling for the college in these words .. ."Palomar has been the constant in my life. It's a wonderful place to teach. Over the years, I've seen

thousands of students come through.

They are the better for it. We do change peoples' lives here, and that's very satisfying."
