Christmas dances are cast

Guerrero portrays cultures Artist Raul Guerrero's "New Painting Constructions" and "The Mexican Paintings," will be presented in the Boehm Gallery through December 19.

Guerrero portrays his perceptions of the San Diego environment in his "New Painting Constructions," painted images with three-dimensional objects.

"The Mexican Paintings," a series created in 1984/85 while living in Qaxaca, Mexico, are Guerrero's observations of this Spanish colonial city.

According to Louise Kirtland, gallery director, Guerrero creates loose narratives around personal and cultural themes with surrealistic imagery.

"I think of these as illustrations of ideas. I try to present a key to the viewer's subconscious," said Guerrero.

"Through images and objects, a balance is created between inner and outer reality and objective and subjective perceptions," he continued.

A reception for the artist will be held November 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Boehm Gallery.

The Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays, noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, and will be closed November 27-29.

For more information contact the Gallery director at 744-1150 or 7277529, Ext. 2304.

OPINION

Hard times past at Plymouth Rock

By Monica Nash

Thanksgiving requires introspection. Sometimes you have to dig pretty deep to find something to be grateful for.

It all started with starving pilgrims. Living under miserable conditions, bone-chilling cold, rampant disease, inadequate housing, they gave thanks for a decent meal. The Indians felt sorry for them.

What do we have to be thankful for today?

Well, for one thing, if you're reading this you probably live in Southern California.

Lotusland has the best climate in the country.

Picture those pilgrims huddling around a smoky cabin fireplace in sub-zero temperatures and you have an idea of what's coming for the unfortunates back East.

Easterners are forced to stay indoors about half the year. Otherwise, they freeze their ....

After four months or so, it starts to get to them. They develop cabin fever. Their skins tum white, their eyes tum red and they start to look paranoid. They resemble Count Dracula. You'll recognize them in February or March when they leave their coffin (cabin) to come out here. It's hard to get them to go home.

Most of us are not dying like flies from malnutrition, unsanitary living quarters and

various hardships. Compare us to the pilgrims.

We have places to go for emergency provisions. We have indoor plumbing. Low-cost health care is available to us. (At Student Health Services it is no-cost.) Most of us aren't worried that the fall harvest was only enough to get us through half the winter.

Who can doubt that we have it made compared to those pilgrims, and to most of the people in the world today?

We have so many options and opportunities. If you are a student here, you are taking advantage of what is available. California residents get an educational bargain. The state will profit in the long run since our education will probably put us in a higher income bracket.

But you won't find this deal anywhere else in the country.

So, if your car breaks down and you are trying to scrape next month's rent together, you still have a lot to be thankful for. Being poor has some advantages. You learn to be creative with what you have. You must use your head to get by. You become stronger and more determined.

Even if you find those advantages hard to swallow, you have to admit that a poor person has fewer possessions to own him. Wealthy people worry about what they have, and they get ulcers because they are afraid of losing what they own. You can't count on possessions to keep you happy. I've seen Mercedes broken down on the side of the road, just like junk cars. And they cost more to fix.

OKay. I'm not saying that it's better to be poor. But broke students can learn from the school of hard knocks and still be grateful.

That includes me. If the pilgrims could be thankful, so can we.

COMMENTARY

Thermometer gauges warmth of heart

By Monica Nash

Have you ever been hungry? I mean really hungry and broke. You don't know where your next meal is coming from. You may be a student in that position. If so, you probably have kids, too.

Statistics on the number of single parents raising children are mind boggling. Often they are women who receive no child support. They probably work somewhere slinging hash, because they have no job skills. It doesn't take them long to realize that they're getting nowhere.

So they come here. Palomar offers the chance to learn those job skills needed to make it. Students have the opportunity to change their lives.

But in the meantime, it's a juggling act for single mothers. Balancing time spent at work, school and with children isn't easy. Something has to give when it becomes necessary to cut back on the minimum-wage hours. That means less money, when circumstances were bad enough before.

The Food Bank keeps single mothers in school. Bob Klug, Food Bank director, can talk for hours about students who have come

to him for help. They are usually women with children.

One of Bob Klug's stories concerns a woman who came to pick up food, accompanied by a small child. The child was wearing sandals in winter, because there wasn't enough money to buy shoes. Klug found shoes for the kid.

Klug sees battered students as well as hungry ones. He channels them to the place where they can get assistance.

Though single mothers seem to have the greatest need, the Food Bank serves men and women under many conditions. They are broke and hungry. They want to stay in school.

Now, the Food Bank needs help. Short on provisions, there is not much left to give during the crucial holiday period.

The Inter-Club Council is sponsoring a canned food drive to re-stock the Food Bank.

There will be a thermometer display in the Student Union, registering the amount of canned goods received. As the temperature rises, there is more food for hungry students.

The Food Bank will appreciate any donations. Give food or money to the ICC food drive. When you help others to make it. you help yourself.

MOVIE REVIEW

'Children of Lesser God' a hit

Signed opinions expressed are those of the individual writers and do not necessarily represent those of The Telescope.

The Telescope is published Fridays

By C. Matthew Swinden throughout the semester except during final exams and holidays. Letters to the editor may "Children of a Lesser God" is an emotional be submitted one week before publication to drama that should not be seen alone. Rarely GJ-6 on the north side of campus. do I take anyone with me when I go to the movies, but this movie is a must to-be-'6een with a friend or some one closer.

This film, a hit on Broadway, is about the relationship between a speech teacher at a school for the deaf and a graduate who is now working there as a janitor.

William Hurt plays the teacher, who soon after his arrival, encounters this beautiful janitor, played by Marlee Maltin, and wants to help her to speak and "to communicate in his world," as he puts it. She refuses his help, but eventually they fall in love.

Although Maltin only speaks through sign language (for those of you who are a little rusty in sign language, Hurt translates for the audience), her acting talent makes up for her

inability to speak. Even without speaking, she is able to communicate with the audience very well, some actors cannot even do that with the help of speech.

As actors, Hurt and Maltin work very well together. Throughout the movie, you could feel the love that they have for each other.

The movie shows how hard it is to have a relationship in two different worlds, the world of the hearing and the world of the deaf, and still communicate effectively enough to sustain their love for each other. They live in two different worlds and they are able to bring their separate worlds together.

This movie, with its fine script and acting, should be experienced with someone you are close to for it will be that much more pleasurable. On a * to **** scale, I give "Children of a Lesser God" a *** ~. Go see this movie today or you will be missing a very fine film.

Campus station airs new 'power format'

By Bill Shwetzer

"You be Illin'." Heard this latest rap

by Run DMC on your favorite radio station?

Right now, this song is a top player on all the local 'pop' stations. However, there is one station that's been playing this rap since the beginning of the year and it's not in New York It's right here at Palomar. It's KKSM. KKSM (98.9 on Dimension Cable) has been serving Palomar since 1978.

"It's training for real radio," says Keith Fitzgerald, program director. "Almost everyone who has left here and pursued a radio career has been hired.

Employment is high."

a " power format." Widely popular, the music is a mix of dance, top 40 and urban black.

Keith Fitzgerald, program director for KKSM, has developed a new style for cable listeners. KKSM is the only station in the San Diego area to play

3000 cyclists ride for area hospitals

By Peggy Kelly

Over 3000 cyclists joined at Palomar November 15 to ride in the second annual "four de North County."

Southwest Bank sponsored the ride, giving 10 cents for every mile the cyclists rode to three area hospitals: Palomar /Pomerado Hospital District Foundation, Scripps/Encinitas Hospital Foundation and Fallbrook Hospital District.

The focus for this ride was on fun and pleasure. But there were also some challenging courses for the skilled cyclist. Four courses were offered to participants; 5 mile, 25 mile, 50 mile and 75 mile.

"These courses allow them to ride at their own pace," says Public Relations Executive of The Phillips Organization Janet Bloeth.

"Cycling has become a good part of becoming physically fit," said director of marketing at Southwest Bank Pamela DeLozier. "Last year we had over 742 participants. This year we have over 3000."Tour de North County has become the largest recreational bike ride in San Diego.

Palomar was picked for this biking adventure because of its "central location" to the North County.

Patrons need more members

By Jerry Bennington Plans to enlarge the scholarship award offerings for 1986-87 is the subject of the Patrons of Palomar College annual membership drive.

Mrs. Ann Boggs, president, announced that the Board of Directors of the Patrons endorsed details which encourage individuals and commercial concerns to lend their support.

Established 40 years ago when Palomar College enrolled its first students, the Patrons' primary purposes are to provide scholarship awards and other assistance to students, and to promote campus beautification.

The Patrons have assisted many students with scholarship awards for both those at Palomar College, and for students transfering to other colleges and universities.

Plans are being developed to enlarge the support of corporations and professional groups. The key to the Patrons' success over the years is largely due to the membership of parents and other community supporters who participate in the annual events.

Free workshops help transfers

"Palomar can park 6000 cars with no problem," states Bloeth. "They could start and come back to this point."

"The hardest course was the 75 mile run," said DeLozier. There was a difficult four mile uphill on Fallbrook Both the 50 and the 75 mile courses took the cyclists uphill on Rancho Santa Fe. This was the last part of the course and the hardest, cyclists say.

Many cyclists got off their bikes and walked this part of the course.

World class cyclists Jeff Pierce (Tour de France) and Marianne Berglund (winner, 1983 World Cycling Championship) were among those riding in the 75 mile run.

"We had professionals in the run to keep the amateurs in order," said Bloeth. "Safety was our prime concern.

Helmets are required and all participants need a bike check" After the ride participants received T-shirts, and hats. They enjoyed music from K-lite and french-style food.

There were three bike giveaways and many more prizes.

By Jerry Bennington

Recently, KKSM aired what is known as a "power format," which includes dance mix, top 40, and urban black "We're unique in that KKSM is the only station in the San Diego area to play the power format and the second one on the west coast (FM 106 in L.A being the other)," explains Fitzgerald.

Since KKSM is on cable radio, the station is able to experiment with new formats, unlike non-cable stations that cannot afford the monetary losses should a format be widely disliked by the listening audience.

KKSM tried the power format and found it to be very popular with its listening audience. Fitzgerald sums it

up by stating: "There's a lot of market for it and many of the other stations come to us to get new ideas. Many of the popular stations have started to alter their formats to the power format."

Where does a student interested in radio get started? "You would start with TC-22 (Beginning Radio) to learn the basic skills," says Fitzgerald. ''The basic skills include record cueing, talking, etc. For the next semester you would make an air tape and apply for a jockey slot."

Currently, the Telecommunications Department ranks in the top three for radio in the nation. Fitzgerald stresses the fact that working with radio isn't just fun and games, but takes many hours and hard work "I work about 70 hours a week I'm paid by the school, but I wouldn't do it for the money they pay me. I do it for the experience, and work here is like a regular business."

In addition to playing the latest songs, KKSM airs much of the campus sports activities, which include all home games for football, women's softball, water polo and wrestling.

Also, KKSM does promotionals and plans to do a remote broadcast from the North County Fair in January.

KKSM broadcasts Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. "If you are interested in radio, this is the best place to get the experience."

Workshops featuring representatives from local universities are being sponsored by the Transfer Center.

Speech team victorious

Information regarding application and admission p r ocedures and requirements, course and program offerings and financial aid will be discussed.

The series of workshops will be conducted on a "walk-in" basis in the Student Union. Workshops include: San Diego State University (SDSU), November 26,9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Making it two in a row, the speech team took the junior college sweepstakes award at Southern Utah State University.

The workshops are available free of charge to st udents and general public.

For more info r mation about the Transfer Center call 744-1150 or 7277529, Ext. 2552.

Dr. Ray Dahlin and Bruce Bishop returned with the squad of 10 and returned victorious with the sweepstakes silver plater and four silver goblets (awards) in individual events.

Leading off the pack in awards was Dondi Dahlin, who took first place in junior division expository. Dahlin did an informative speech on the Kabuki theatre. She also took a second place in open division persuasive, with her

speech on the dangers of today's toys.

Keeping it in the family, Titanya Dahlin took second place in the junior division for her prose interpretation of C.S. Lewis' novel "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Other winners included Steve Spivey, who took second place in junior division poetry with his tribute to Robert Gross and Cheryl Pilcher who took first place in junior division sales.

What's next for the speech team?

A tournament of high school students which Palomar will host November 2122 and a tournament at Cal State Northridge.

Injuries costly; grids lose two

By Jeff Bradford

Coach Tom Craft's football team won the first half of last Saturday's game against Orange Coast. Unfortunately, Orange Coast won the second half AND the game 17-16.

Palomar was effec tive on both offense and defense in the first two quarters and by the half had built up a 16-7lead. Unfortunately, that effectiveness did not return to the field with the Comets in the second half.

Several explanations can be made for the loss. One is the fact that Palomar's injury problems took a critical turn when early in the second quarter quarterback Jon Mitchell went down on a late hit that was never called.

Mitchell, who distinguished himself as the all-time leading passer at Palomar in the Comets' game with Saddleback, completed eight of nine passes for 110 yards before he was helped to the sidelines with a separated shoulder.

Also, running back LaMont Parks twisted his knee late in the second period, but not before rushing for 117 yards.

Second string quarterback Charlie Heintscheljust wasn't able to maintain Mitchell's standard and couldn't come up with the big yardage plays. Heintschel threw 18 completions in 33 attempts and 179 yards. But he also threw three interceptions, two of which were on the Comets' last two possessions.

"I wasn't expecting (to play), even though I took most of the snaps this week in practice," Heintschel said. "I just couldn't come up with the big plays. I made every effort I could."

Phil Gallo, the Comet s' usually reliable kicker, missed two field goal attempts.

Late in the second quarter he kicked a 27 yard attempt too high and in the third quarter he pulled a 42 yard try to the left.

Laden with injuries, t he Comet football team took their third Mission Conference loss November 8 at the hands of defending national community college co-champions Saddleback College.

Palomar gave the Gauchos a tough fight t hroughout the game, but finally fell17-6.

Saddleback scored first when Steve Williams kicked a 41 yard field goal.

Then running back Quincy Fr ank scored on a one yard run. Williams' PAT was good.

Palomar quarterback Jon Mitchell had the only Comet score when he rushed in on a one-yard touchdown.

The Gauchos secured a four-point half-time lead when a possible Comet scoring drive was stopped on the Saddleback 27. Kicker Phil Gallo also missed a 44-yard field goal attempt.

Saddleback drove 69 yards with the second half kick-off to conclude the scoring. Frank scored on another oneyard run. Williams was again successful on the point after, boosting t he score to 17-6.

Mitchell completed 29 out of 54 passes for 245 yards and r ushed for a touchdown. His 29 completions broke a single ga me record and est ablished Mitchell as the best passer in Palomar's history.

Currently, Palomar leads the Mission Conference in a number of categories: passing, defense-they have 16 int erceptions, a n d have allowed only 90 completions out of223 attempts; t otal offense-averaging 427.1 yards per game, and passing offense-194 completions for 342 attempts a nd an aver age of 293 passing yards per game.

Elzie Gatson is leading the league in interceptions, while Jerald Demery (63 completions for 747 yards) is the second leading receiver in the league and Jawitz (44 completions for 557 yards) is sixth. Jim Rhinehart (39 completions for 556 yards) comes in eighth.

Cagers see better times ahead

By Jeft' Bradford Men's basketball head coach Andy Gilmour hopes that this year's Comet basketball team will be able to avenge last year's disappointing season. Last year the Comets had only nine wins and 19 losses. Seven of those losses

Early on in the game it looked as

were by one point.

"We have more experience, more quality players and better team quickness," says Coach Gilmour of this season's squad which opened it's season last Friday against Santa Barbara City College and Riverside City College.

"The key to the team is going to be rebounding. We were real weak rebounding last season. If we're decent on the boards, I think we could be significantly better than a year ago."

That means the pressure is going to be on returning players Dave Craven (6-6, Mt. Carmel High), Steve Miller (68, Orange Glen) and Freshman forward Rich Prusinski (6-4, San Pasqual).

Craven averaged 7.8 points and 5.0 rebounds a game as one of the starting five last season. He is described by Gilmour as having improved a great deal. He is 20 pounds heavier this year and noticeably stronger. Gilmour says he could be the key to the Comet's rebounding game.

Miller has also gotten bigger and stronger during the off-season.

"Besides being stronger Steve has also improved his game," says Gilmour.

Pirates. Seven minutes into the first period Orange Coast lined up inside the Comet 20 to punt. The Pirate center snapped the ball over t he punter's head and into the end zone, giving the Comets the touchback and a 2-0 lead.

On the first series after Orange Coast's kickoff, Mitchell tossed a lateral pass to Jerald Demery on the left flank, who threw a 45 yard pass to Jim Rhinehart for the Palomar touchdown and a 9-0 lead.

In the second quarter, Parks ran in an 11 yard option for another touchdown. Gallo's PAT was good and Palomar had a 16-0 lead.

Prusinski, a first team all-Avocado league selection for San Pasqual last season, impressed Gilmour with his aggressiveness on the boards when he played for him this season in the Peoples Republic of China.

"He's a tremendously hard worker, and he'll knock your head off on the boards."

The starting five against Santa Barbara and Riverside were as follows: Tony Williams at point gaurd, Kyle Ruggles at off-guard, Rodney Johnson at fast forward, Gary Williams at power forward, and Dave Cravens at center.

Tony Williams is a 5-10 freshman from Inglewood High who is described

by Gilmour as "very quick, an excellent ball handler and very unselfish."

Then the Pirates got onto the board when wide receiver Ollie Perkins beat Elzie Gatson deep and caught a 52 yard pass from Jon Nowotny, for the Pirates, first touchdown.

In the third period Orange Coast's Keith Greene kicked a 36 yard field goal to shorten Palomar's lead to six points. Later, Pirate running back Dave Swigat ran in a four yard touchdown that turned out to be the last score of the game.

"We put the game in the players' hands and we hoped they respond. We came up a little bit short," said Coach Craft.

The loss drops Palomar to 4-4 in Mission Conference play and 5-4 overall.

The Comets will wrap up t heir season tomorrow night at Riverside City College. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.

Kyle Ruggles is a 6-3 returning letterman who attended Orange Glen High. He is a good shooter and Gilmour says that he is "probably as hard a worker as I've ever coached." He was fourth on the team in assists and averaged 3. 7 points a game.

Rodney Johnson is a 6-3 freshman from Dominguez High in Compton.

Coach Gilmour expects big things from him and says that he "has excellent athletic ability."

Gary Williams is a 6-4 freshman also from Dominguez High in Compton. He made first team all-league on a team that won the San Gabriel league championship.

Gilmour says that the starting lineup will probably go through some slight changes as the season progresses, but it will stand as it is for now. Players who will be bidding for starting positions are: Prusinski, Miller, Eddie Hodges (6-2, freshman guard, Chester High School, Chester, PA), Kevin Ahearn (5-9, freshman, guard, Escondido High), Aaron Hunter (6-5, freshman forward, Dominguez High), Letterman JeffThomas (62, guard, Washington Wilkes High, Washington, GA) Rounding out the roster are Mike Pendell (6-3 1h, freshman forward, Ramona), Eric Pregenser (6-7, second year freshman forward/center, Mt. Carmel), Joe Santos (6-3, freshman guard, Poway), and Aaron Silvrya (64, freshman forward, Poway).

Silverya started for a CIF-San Diego section 3A championship team at Poway. Pendell was the Avocado League Player of the Year last season.

The Comets were hurt by the loss of Derwin Wesley, a first team AllPacific Coast Conference Forward and the Comet's leading scorer last year.

He'll miss the season after undergoing knee surgery.

The Comets opened up their season last weekend. On Friday they played Santa Barbara City College here, losing 60-54. On Saturday they faced off against Riverside City College at MiraCosta, losing 63-61.

"We could have won both games; we were leading both at halftime," says Coach Gilmour. "It's just that we made your basic early season mistakes. We'll get better as the team matures."

Coach Gilmour said that his team was shooting for only 30% and not making enough offensive rebounds.

The basketball team will play again on Monday, November 24. That is the opening day of the Mt. San Jacinto tournament which will last until Wednesday, November 26th. Specific times and games are to be announced.

International students drawn to local lifestyles

By Peggy Kelly

From far off lands and distant shores they come to Palomar. Some arrive with no place to stay, no knowledge of our customs, not knowing a souL But they come anyhow, to Palomar.

Why do these international students choose to study at such an out of the way place? Could it be Palomar is easier to get into for a foreign student?

Or is it the Southern California life style that entices them?

Approximately 89 international students from 39 countries are enrolled here this fall. 50% are from the Middle East. 30% are from the Far East and only 10% are from Europe and Latin America.

Most students come here to study engineering, business, or computer science, because the technology in the U.S. is more advanced.

"Most come here because they hear about Palomar by word of mouth," said Karen Johnson, a key mediator for the foreign student. "California has a good reputation for education. It is one of the four major states where foreign students study.

"Many have relatives or friends living in Southern California. Some are already attending Palomar." Knowing someone helps the foreign student adapt to their new environment.

Already having her brother here as a link, helped Schirin Nozari, a German student decide on Palomar.

Schirin grew up in Iran and went to boarding school in Switzerland. Her brother Karin came to Palomar last year. Schirin was always interested in Southern California, so she joined her brother here a year later.

"I like the diversity of the people here," said Schirin. "They're easier to talk to and it's easier to find friends here."

Another reason many international students pick Palomar over a four year university is because it is less of a culture shock and more personalized.

Nobuko Teranishi from Japan, a second year student at Palomar says, "a community college is much more relaxed. People come here to enjoy

school. Here students all have an opportunity to learn, whether young or old. In Japan," said Nobuko, "there is a lot of competition to get into a "title" school. Getting in may decide one's whole future in Japan. Once you are in you don't really have to work" Although the international student feels more relaxed here than at other colleges, requirements and costs to become accepted are still hard to attain.

Besides all the applications, doctors certificates, and letters of recommendations, students also must take six to 18 months of English study. Then they must receive a minimum score of 450 on the T.O.E.F.L. test. (Test of English as a foreign language.)

The T.O.E.F.L. requirements at SDSU are even higher. Because of these rising admission requirements, and the situation with the world economy, enrollment of the foreign student has been decreasing since 1981.

While residents of California only pay $5 per unit, international students must pay $85 per unit. The international student must take a minimum of 12 units each semester.

This, along with private expenses such as rent, food, transportation, insurance and incidentals, is making it very expensive for the international student to come to Palomar.

But as an Indonesian student, Indra Budiwarman put it. "It's better to get a degree here. The system is better and the opportunities are better."

BBS 99, a Field Studies course, places the student in a bilingual classroom for six hours per week under the guidance of a credentialed bilingual teacher. Each BBS 99 student is observed periodically and receives feedback on classroom work by a supervisor of the Bilirlgual Teacher Corps program.

Program participants planning to transfer to SDSU follow the Liberal Studies Option III, Bilingual Education requirements.

The Bilingual Teacher Corps was established to encourage prospective teachers to enter the field of education to meet the urgent need for trained bilingual teachers in our country as a whole and in the State of California in particular.

The Bilingual Teacher Corps has been in existence since 1973 when it was founded by Dr. Patricia E. Zevin, a faculty member of the ESL Department.

Students who wish to become bilingual teachers are encouraged to apply to the program by contacting Garlow, Montenegro-Vogel or Valdez through the ESL Department at Ext. 2261, AA-114.

California poet Ric Masten will appear December 1 at 7:30p.m. in the College's Educational Theatre.

Masten, who has been described as a "sandy-bearded poet who goes traipsing all over occupied America, reading and singing and talking with men, women and children in all kinds of situations," captivates audiences with his homespun poetry.

Full of surprise, agitation and calm, Masten's work makes us laugh.

Food Bank needs goods Being short on necessities is nothing to be joyful about, especially if what's needed is food.

With the holiday season fast approaching, the need for food will be at its peak. If you are in need of a little help, come by the Food Bank in R-28.

With the high demand for food, the Inter Club Council has started a "Holiday Food Drive" to help keep the food bank supplied. The food drive began November 11 and will last until December 19, when Christmas Break begins.

The ICC is going to the student body

to help reach and maintain a 6,000 can-a-week goal.

"What we need donated are nonperishable type foods," said John Welburn, co-chairperson for the food drive committee. "The Food Bank is practically empty and with the holiday season so close, the demand will be greatest."

Donated food can be dropped off in the Student Activities office, R-21, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or in the Student Information Center, R-7, Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
