THE HEAT IS ON

SDG&E discourages co-generation plans

Something missing? Solar panels on top of the swimming pool building, plagued by a history of poor performance, have been removed in favor

of natural gas heating as part ofthe co-generation project. The geodesic dome looms in the background.

No free condoms, despite health issue

By Fred Tracey

Unless there is student pressure, Health Services Director Clarice Hankins says her department will not be distributing condoms anytime in the near future.

Hankins had been contacted by a local marketing firm who had offered to place condom dispensers in restrooms on campus. That proposal had been turned down due to the fact that in the past sanitary napkin dispensers had been vandalized on weekends.

But whether the condoms would be distributed through dispensers in restrooms, or by Health Services, is not likely at this time, says Hankins.

"We feel that we want to do more in the field of education," said Hankins.

"Our job here is education."

Condoms in schools have become a

Planetarium display set How did man first view the universe? Did the sun move around the earth? Were the stars a part of the sphere that surrounded our planet?

"Royal Road," the next in a series of free lectures at the Palomar Community College Planetarium, will be held April 1 at 7 p.m.

Planetarium director Joe Willis will utilize elaborate schemes of rotating spheres within spheres to describe the motions of the Earth, with the sun, moon and planets surrounding it.

Also, the scientific discoveries of Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler and Newton, as they relate to the universe as we understand it today, will be discussed.

The observatory domes and telescopes will be open during the Wednesday evening presentation, weather permitting. Objects such as nebulae, planets, double stars and star clusters can be observed.

The planetarium offers special programs by appointment on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

controversial subject. The controversy has even reached Sacramento as Assemblyman Bill Bradley, REscondido, recently introduced legislation that says schools will not be permitted to issue contraceptives.

"It wasn't very clear if this means the community college," said Hankins.

The education and promotion of the condom and "safe sex" has risen recently largely due to the AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) epidemic. Guidelines offered by the United States Public Health Service and the Surgeon General, report that the "use of condoms may reduce your risk (of contracting the AIDS virus)."

In the meeting ofthe Administrative Council of May 6, 1986, the Council approved a General Statement on Institutional Response to AIDS offered by the American College Health Association.

The statement says that the primary response of colleges and universities to the AIDS epidemic must be education. Further, the American College Health Association recommends that institutions not adopt "blanket policies concerning students with AIDS or AIDS-related conditions."

Persons with AIDS should be allowed regular classroom attendance in an un-restricted manner as long as they are physically able to attend classes, the report recommends.

Until an inquiry from The Telescope, the recommendations from the American College Health Association had not been adopted by the Board of Trustees. Hankins is preparing a resolution for the Board to adopt the four pages of recommendations.

In Massachusets a community college distributed condoms to its student body of 1,500. It cost the institution's administration $700 to distribute the condoms. Stanford' University did the same, both colleges making condoms available the w~k of Valentines Day. ~ But whether or not Palomar will take steps to make condoms available here rests upon the students, reports Hankins.

"If I had pressure and if students felt that there is a need, we would consider it. We are funded by the students. Health Services belongs to the students."

Peace is promoted To promote understanding, communication and friendly relations with differing cultures is the purpose of the Baha'i Club.

Under the guidance of Karl Anthony and Ron Kaufman, the Baha'i Club will be holding a program tomorrow at 7 p.m. in P-32.

Musical entertainment will be provided by Anthony. There will be a dance performed by the "Pagoda Dancers," a Tai-Chi demonstration and a reading by Mae Sei Wong from the "Book of Tao" and a poem written by "Pagoda."

The program is open to the public and free of charge.

"We are guaranteed to save $60,000 a year with the new co-generation project," said Bryant Guy, director of Purchasing Services. "That is, if SDG&E does not increase their fixed costs. In that case, our bill will go up $21,000."

Guy explained, "Industries and other institutions pay a different utility rate than the general public. We were charged 13¢ per kilo-watt hour during peak demand times. With cogeneration we can produce our own electricity for 7¢ per kwh. SDG&E wants to cut their rate charges to 6 1/ 2 per kwh, undermining our efforts and forcing us to buy their electricity at the cheaper price. They would then increase other, fixed charges that we can't avoid from 20% of the bill to 52%.

The result is an extra cost to Palomar of $21,000 per year."

"We feel we have been deceived," said Guy. "It is not in SDG&E's best interests for us to save energy. If the rate increase filed with the Public Utilities Commission goes through, it will ruin our energy conservation attempts."

Both state and federal governments have encouraged co-generation.

Plants have been built by industry and other institutions throughout the country. Utility companies are reacting unfavorably. If rates change, all schools and industries will be effected.

The public will pay.

Guy mentioned that co-generation produces electricity and therms of heat. To apply for a federal permit to operate a co-generation plant, it is necessary to prove that at least 42%

of the heat produced will be used. (In our case, the pool is heated). Utility companies aren't required to use the heat produced by their big generators.

It goes to waste.

"SDG&E has the highest utility rates in the country," said Guy. "They had to strive to be #1. Ten years ago, their rates were reasonable."

"We're proud of what we've done here. The co-generation plant is valued at $900,000. All the financing was done through third parties. It hasn't cost the school a thing."

"We have been working very hard to be energy conscious," emphasized Guy. By retrofitting florescent lights, we'll save $20,000 a year for five years.

We've also got Energy Management System, a computer by Honeywell. In several buildings, the system's sensor devices are activated by body heat.

The heat turns on when you walk in and off when you leave. Altogether, we'll save $200,000.

The official opening of the cogeneration plant was today at 10:30 a.m. Dr. Robert Dougherty, Governing Board President, performed the official button-pushing ceremony in front of the Library. The plant has already proven effective, however, and has enabled removal of the inefficient solar panels previously designed to heat the pool.

'Terra Nova' studies Scott

By Mary Hannify It is the winter of 1911-1912. Five

Englishmen and five Norwegians race each other to the "bottom of the earth." Only five return.

"Terra Nova," the compelling play by Ted Tally and directed by Patrick Larmer, deals with the ill-fated Antarctic expedition of the British Captain Robert Falcon Scott (Mark Klemstrud).

"This compelling study of heroism in the face of bitter failure is actually a clash of nineteenth and twentieth century values," says Larmer.

"Terra Nova" is drawn from journals and letters found on the frozen body of Captain Scott. Through those writings, we understand a little of how Captain Scott felt about life and his expedition.

"They will remember me alright, for about five years, my name on some bloody little plaque on the fifth floor of the lavatory at the Admiral T." Captain Scott is the leader of the British Antarctic expedition. Other cast members are: Birdie Bowers (Bart Westbrook) the navigator and the group optimist; Titus Oates (Duane Daniels) Captain in the Royal Calvary; Dr. Wilson (Jerome Casey), Captain Scott's closest friend and expedition doctor; Edgar Evans (Ed Sadkowski), a young petty officer in the Royal Navy filled with the sense of duty and adventure.

Roald Amundsen (Rick Pallaziol) is the Norwegian who made it to the pole ahead of Captain Scott.

Kathleen Scott (Cali Maus ), the wife of Captain Scott, comes into the play periodically as part of the letter found on Captain Scott's frozen body.

Performances are scheduled for April 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on April 5 at 2 p.m.

The Telescope, Friday, March 27 1987

Education needs funding stability priations to fund educational programs for next year.

Do we make plans to institute the matriculation program which has been promised for the last four years? Do we plan to cut our educational programs and reduce staff to fund the State-mandated programs? Will the rules change again?

The State's community colleges continue to receive conflicting or contradictory signals from Sacramento. We are told to convert our large part-time teaching force to full-time status, yet the funds for the conversion are not provided. We are told to improve the quality of our educational programs, but we don't have the resources to offer sufficient sections of essential core clases.

We are told to provide data to show how successful our programs are, but we don't have the resources to staff an institutional research office adequately. We are told that archery is a recreational course at community colleges, but not at the universities; as a result, the university athletic departments no longer have to compete against a Palomar College team that consistently won in national competition against major universities. We are told to be comprehensive, yet we are criticized for being all things to all people.

We are told our transfer function is in trouble, yet half of the graduates from CSU have attended community colleges. We are told that part of our mission is to provide important vocational programs (like nursing and electronics) for our communities, yet these more expensive programs receive less State support because class sizes are smaller.

We are told that lottery income will be added to our apportionments to enhance our educational program, yet it is calculated as a part of our statutory COLA. We are regarded as the low-status partner in the higher education system in California, yet Palomar College students who transfer to the university system do as well as students who start at the university.

Our Speech team consistently wins first place in competition with major universities both in California and nationally. We are told the State is not satisfied with our governance or mission, but after a year and halt of study, we have not heard whether recommendations of the Master Plan Review Commission and Joint Legislative Committee to review the Master Plan will be approved.

I am sure you are aware that the State's community colleges are an important segment of our State's system of higher education.

Most of the State's freshmen and sophomores attend community colleges. Community colleges provide the most important access to higher education for the State's minorities, returning women, part-time working students, and underprepared students.

I appreciate your recognition of the role we play in providing lower division postsecondary education of the citizens of the State. I thank you for your attention today, and I hope you will help to return some stability in funding for all segments of public education in the state.

By George R. Boggs, Ph.D. Community colleges have suffered from a series of fiscal blows since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, which effectively transferred funding control of the colleges to the State.

Like other community colleges in the State, Palomar College suffered an erosion of resources. Until the current academic year, student enrollments had declined for four years in a row. In the face of uncertainty, the Office of the Chancellor issued the letter identifying our potential funding problems and asked for a plan to strengthen our current financial condition.

Our budget plans included an expected income of $885,153 in stabilization funds and about $150,000 in equalization. Although we have not yet received any of these funds, we have been told we can expect to receive only $168,946 of the $885,153 for stabilization, yielding a shortfall of expected revenue of nearly $870,000 this year.

To meet unexpected expenses and to make up for some of the shortfall, we have been forced to draw reserves down to a current level of $547,322 or 2.15% of the current operating budget of about $25.5 million. We are halfway through our academic year with our fingers crossed that we will not be faced with any other significant unexpected expenditures. Faculty and staff members have not received salary increases this academic year.

Although community colleges have long been known as open door colleges, the doors to core classes in English Composition classes and Mathematics classes are closed to some students at Palomar College. For example, 499 students are currently on a "wait list" to enter English Composition classes at Palomar College for the Spring Semester, which began February 2 (210 of them are waiting to enter our most remedial writing class).

We have already drawn $80,000 from our reserves to add classes to accommodate our students and to help reverse four years of enrollment decline. We cannot afford to take more money from the reserve for additional sections of these essential classes. And, since we are beyond our cap, the State would not reimburse us for the additional enrollment.

The State is asking community colleges to be more accountable and to plan more effectively. Effective planning is difficult when the colleges have to second-guess Sacramento. Not only do we appear to have no local say in what the rules will be, but they also change after the game has begun. We are being held accountable to operate institutions in an environment over which we have little control.

Next year, the Governor has proposed a 1.3% statutory increase for community colleges. At the same time, the State will implement programs which require a match from local funds which exceeds the statutory increase. State funds for student matriculation, instructional equipment, and deferred maintenance all will require a match of local funds, thereby actually reducing our appro-

Extra-curricular activities enhance students' future

By Monica Nash College prepares you for the future in many ways, some of which you may have recently learned.

Did you face that registration line nightmare, only to enter the Twilight Zone of purchasing textbooks? (You probably know the contents of the bookstore thoroughly after waiting for an hour in each aisle). Did you have to cope with the anxiety of being fifteenth on a crash list for a required class?

Did you wander aimlessly looking for a room that was apparently left off the map? Did you

TIPS: Crime prevention: • Women: Keep a firm grip on your purse at all times.

• On over the shoulder bags, secure shoulder strap on your opposite shoulder.

• When possible, carry your wallet, keys and other valuables on your person in an inside pocket or other suitable place other than your purse.

drive in endless circles trying to find a parking place? Did you get eye strain filling in all the little blanks in the stacks of paperwork required for financial aid or transfer?

Your education began before entering the classroom. You just completed a course entitled Survival I. Many important lessons will originate outside of classes. It is to your advantage to pursue them. Unfortunately, community college students often fail to see the benefits of getting involved with the other activities on campus. That may be the biggest drawback of attending a community college.

If you are preparing yourself for a place out in the big, bad world, look closely at your next job or scholarship application. The questions that occur again and again are: "What are your extra-curricular activities?" and "What clubs or organizations do you belong to?"

In other words, are you doing anything besides sitting passively in a classroom, trying to absorb knowledge by osmosis? Do you have a social conscience? If you don't recognize the other aspects of college life, you are missing a valuable experience.

Someone actively involved in school is in a better position upon graduating than the bookworm, who has limited himself. Do you have leadership and social skills? Do you know how to compete outside of class? These assets can be garnered from campus activities.

A lot of organizations on campus need new members. Through clubs, the ASG or The Telescope, you can develop your professional and social skills. You can gain the selfconfidence that comes from tackling new challenges. You can make contacts that will really affect your future.

For instance, most of the Telescope staff will testify that working on a newspaper is both rewarding and frustrating. It can be exciting to be at the hub of campus news. You meet people from all departments, cover the visits of important off-campus speakers and are often the first to know of up-coming events.

You develop discipline, refine your writing skills, learn how to conduct an interview and gain a more complete perspective of what Palomar has to offer. On the flip side, you run into people who were burned by the media and refuse to talk to you, or you discover a mistake in the copy after the paper is in print.

It's too late. Your name is on it.

You can get more out of college by taking advantage of the benefits of joining campus clubs and organizations. Then when you leave school, besides classroom skills, you'll have more survival skills. You'll know how to develop your leadership potential, socialize, compete, deal with anxiety and frustration, fill out paperwork, fight for a parking place and stand in line. That's a well-rounded education.

Swimmers sweep weekend matches

By Jeff Bradford "It's going to be a real barnburner."

These words by the men's swim coach Don Hubbard sum up today's doubledual swim meet with San Diego Mesa and Orange Coast at Mesa.

All three teams are undefeated in dual meets and the winner of today's meet will be the leading contender for the state title. "Whoever comes out of the meet unscathed will probably end up with the state championship," says Hubbard.

Today's meet will be a decisive one for the women's team as well, as they are also undefeated in dual meet schedule. The women, however, are looking at a much bigger challenge.

Orange Coast is the defending state champion.

"It's going to be a great meet," says swim coach Patti Waterman. "We'll do well if all my girls are healthy."

In last weekend's Mountie Invitational at Mt. San Antonio College, both the men and women were victorious.

The men walked away with the championship with ease and 373 points.

Gymnastics classes set for children

Jose McNally was the Comets' most valuable swimmer in the tourney with gold medals in the 100 yard backstroke (57.8) and the 100 yard breaststroke (1 :03.4).

Other highlights: Dan Osgood won the three meter diving competition

(379.75 points); Mike Salwach, Brian Seymour, Tom Rutan, and Bernd Haferkamp teamed up to win the 800 freestyle relay (7:29.52); Rutan took a first in the 500 freestyle ( 4:57.73); Bob Baranek won the 1650 freestyle (18:17.1); Speed Farris won the 50 free (22.34); and Seymour the 400 individual medley relay in 4:44.3 Farris, Haferkamp, Rutan, and Charles Park teamed to win the gold medal in the 850 sprint relay, recording a 8:19.58.

The men were also victorious in Tuesday's meet with Mt. San Antonio College at Mt. San Antonio. The Comets won nine out of 12 events to win the meet 114-70. Salwach was a double winner with firsts in the 200 freestyle ( 1:54.8) and the 500 freestyle (5:25.9).

The women did not walk away from the Mountie invitational so easily, but they did take home the trophy. The Lady Comets had 386 to second place El Camino's 353.

Some of the high marks for the women were: in the 200 medley relay Rhonda Haley, Leslie Peck, Kathleen Meehan and Megan Yancey teamed up to take a first in 2:02.1.

In the 400 medley the team of Haley, Peck, Yancey and Tara Stierle took the gold medal in 4:33.76. That same team also won the 200 freestyle relay.

The women scored a close 65-61 win over Mt. San Antonio.

NEWS Buchanan studies sleep disorders

By Fred Tracey

Jeannie Buchanan believes that students can be successful once they leave Palomar.

Her own experiences support this statement. This lifetime member of the Alpha Gamma Sigma Honor Society, has only begun her career, a career which began at Palomar in 1978 as a psychology m!ijor.

She gives major credit for her accomplishments in her educational career to Palomar's instructors.

"The instructors here I found to be of the highest quality. In general, they were really good."

She gives good marks to Behavioral Sciences instructor Haydn Davis. "He was wonderful." said Buchanan. "I got my feet wet in the field of research in his psychology class. I actually did my first research in a restaurant at the Carlsbad mall."

Buchanan was graduated in 1981.

At her graduation, she got a surprise.

"They called my name out and I had to stand up. I didn't know they were going to do it." She graduated as a outstanding student with a 4.0 G.P A She transferred to San Diego State a week after her Palomar graduation.

Her research continued where she studied the affects on women of Bulimia, an eating disorder brought on by self-induced vomiting.

1982 saw her graduation from San Diego State with a BA in Psychology.

She graduated Summa Cum Laude and is now attending the California School of Professional Psychology in San Diego. In 1984, she received her MA in Psychology. She now has her eyes set on her doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology.

Presently, Buchanan is focusing on her doctoral dissertation research. "It is a study of insomnia designed to reduce the anxiety that people experience when they are unable to to get to sleep," explains Buchanan. "Generally defined, insomnia is having difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep."

Buchanan has initiated an extensive research program to study insomnia. "I feel that the treatment of insomnia has been somewhat neglected in favor of treating other sleeping disorders."

Buchanan is researching insomnia using volunteers who have the sleeping disorder.

"Participation involves an initial interview with me, followed by three treatment sessions with one of my research assistants. And volunteers are also required to fill out daily sleep questionnaires for a two month peroid~ said Buchanan. "Treatments are psychological, there are no drug approaches. The volunteers would follow the treatments in their own home."

Buchanan reports that there are 20 people presently involved in the program. She is advertising for more volunteers. There is no cost or obligation to the volunteer. The research is being supervised by Dr. Stuart Menn from the Scripps Sleep Disorder Center.

Buchanan has been able to set and achieve her goals, which she believes is possible for everyone. She seems to keep giving, and any plans to stop don't appear to be in the future.

"When I receive my psychological license, I hope to specialize in the psychological treatment of insomnia and eating disorders. In addition, I hope to come back to Palomar to teach."

Persons wishing more information on the insomnia research program may call Buchanan at 743-4433.

Geared towards single parents and homemakers, a Learning and Earning symposium will be given free April 3 from 8:30 am. to 2 p.m.

"Open City" will be the April 2 Cinema department production.

Film maker Roberto Rossellini was an expert in Neo Realistic films. The stark reality portrayed in "Open City" was typical of late 1940 Italian films.

Neo-realism was a complete break from the Hollywood gloss and had a strength that the latter lacked.

"Open City" will be presented in P32 April 2 for two showings, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Admission is free and the public is welcome.
