Sheriffs stalk unwary speeders By Fred Tracey
"They're watching and waiting," wrote an anonymous student. Actually, the Sheriff Deputies you may see on their motorcycles in the parking lot of the church, located south of Palomar on Mission Road, are not just "after college students," they say. The San Diego Sheriffs Department Traffic Division reported that 120 speeding tickets are written in the vicinity of Palomar each month. How many tickets do they actually give to students? "A lot. That's as close as we can get," said Nick Crawford, one of the motorcycle officers who some students have the misfortune of meeting. "Everyone's been pretty pleasant about it."
The radar gun the officers use is hand-held, and can only be used when the officers are stationary. Deputy Crawford allowed a Telescope staff writer to use the radar gun on passing motorists to demonstrate the gun's accuracy. The radar gun works on a sound frequency, sending out and receiving a signal. It displays the speed of a car as it approaches and as it goes by. The gun allows the speed to be locked on the display panel, so if someone doubts the officer, he can show the speed to the un-lucky motorist. The officers say they have followed students and staff members into the college parking lots to give them their ticket. The most likely excuse for speeding?
"Most of the people we stop, including staff members, are usually late for class. Everyone is a little bit behind," Crawford said.
Registration slated Summer registration "by appointment" will be held June 16 and 17; "open" registration for those without appointments will be held June 18 and 19; and "late" registration will continue during the first two weeks of the summer semester, which begins June 22. For more information call the Palomar College Admissions and Registration Office at Ext. 2164.

Tickets are $7 for general admission and $5 for student and senior citizens and may be purchased at the theatre's box office. For more information contact the box office at 744-1156.

Direct Mail, a car raffie and a spring "black tie" gala mark recent fundraising efforts of the Palomar Development Foundation. Foundation president Max Thompson said, "It's time we became active in 'friend' and 'fund' raising. Palomar needs Development Foundation help more than ever." Officers, plans and goals for 1987 were announced at a press conference, held at Deer Park Vineyard in Escondido, recently. Since Proposition 13 passed in 1977, the State has not adequately supported community college programs, even supplemented by the Lottery, according to Thompson. "To continue to provide the high quality at low-cost education available at Palomar College, private sector funding is needed," he said. Foundation funds support scholarships, equipment, special projects, library, child care center, athletics, arts and community programs. Officers for this year are president, Max Thompson, vice-president and trust officer for San Diego Trust and Savings, Rancho Bernardo; vicepresident, Barbara Swearingen, chairperson, Palomar College Friends ofthe Child Development/Care Center; secretary, Dr. George Boggs, Superintendent/President, Palomar Community College District; treasurer, Pamela DeLozier, vice-president and marketing director, Southwest Bank, Vista; and assistant treasurer, Mike Gregoryk, Palomar College Business Manager. Thompson is excited about the "rejuvenation" of the Foundation. "The organization has been around since 1959," he said, "but only recently we decided to fundraise aggressively." A first-ever 4,500-piece direct mail project, initiated last December has netted more than $5,000 to date through annual memberships. Membership categories include: Corporate, $1,000; President's Circle, $500 or more; Comet Club, $250; Foundation Club, $100; Donor, $50; and Member, $25. The Foundation expects to raise $20,000 through raffie ticket sales for a 1952 MG Roadster Replica Kit car. The bright red classic, valued at $10,000, was recently donated to the college by alumnus Paul Frehe, owner president of SunStar Company, San Marcos. It sports a fiberglass body on a 1961 VWframewith 1981 VW engine. Tickets are $10 each, with only2,000 tickets printed. The winning ticket will be drawn at the "Spring Gala," May 22 at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. The Foundation "MG" will be displayed at various business, Chamber · of Commerce events and college locations in North County throughout April and May. Tickets will be sold where the car is on display, as well as at the Palomar College Bookstore through May 21. The "Spring Gala," a proposed annual event, will spotlight Palomar College programs and entertainment and feature awards for alumnus, community, faculty, manager and classified staff member of the year. Award recipients have been nominated and selected by their respective peers. Entertainment will include the Palomar vocal jazz ensemble, a speech/ theatre arts presentation and dancing to the music of Palomar jazz band instructor Billy Hawkins. Tickets are $35 per plate/$280 table sponsorship, by invitation only. Persons interested in attending should call the Palomar·College Development Foundation Office, 744-1150, Ext. 2369 or 2150.
