New bus stop is approved In a unanimous decision, the Board of Trustees approved a lease agreement for a new Transit Center to replace the unsafe bus stops along Mission Road. The agreement will provide a bus stop loop off the main road onto campus. The present entrance is going to be closed and a new one constructed to the east, near the track. If a stoplight becomes necessary at the entrance, the transit district has agreed to provide one. Also included in the plan, is a landscaped berm to guard the track from exhaust fumes from the buses. The new stop, which will support seven buses per hour, will increase the safety and convenience of attending Palomar by bus.

By Fred Tracey One way or the other, Juan Serrato will be the Associated Student Government's new president, according to Frank Hankin, director of student activities and ASG advisor. "If they don't swear him in, we're going to find someway to do it ourselves," says Hankin. Serrato and Shawn Clark, vicepresident elect, had been elected at recent ASG executive elections. But allegations of misconduct and an inquiry into the legality of the ASG's election committee caused the ASG senators to void the elections on May 20. The senate has declared that because the election committee was never confirmed by the senate the committee was in violation of the constitution and all of its actions illegal. The election committee governs the ASG's elections - setting up polls, counting ballots and other duties.

Senator Mike Buell has been the most outspoken member of the senate against the election committee and made the motion on May 20 to have the elections voided. Buell has also charged that Serrato and two of his colleagues, Darrel Rogers and Paul Mukomela, have violated several codes of conduct for student behavior. Other senators have also made allegations against the three which caused the ASG to launch a investigation into "rumors" about Serrato's, Rogers' and Mukomela's behavior. This year's elections have brought about more controversy than any other election in recent years. Charges of poll watching, illegal campaigning and verbal and physical confrontations have been made against Serrato and his campaign. Serrato has remained optimistic about the outcome of the charges and continues to make plans as president of the Associated Student Government.

Mike Boren won the gold medal, earning the right to represent California at the national contest in Kansas this June; Nikki Berschnider received the silver medal; and Maureen O'Leary, the bronze. The skill olympics were made up of a two-hour written and 5-hour skill performance test, according to Neil Bruington, graphic communications instructor. "Our students competed against approximately 1,400 participants from throughout California. "VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) is a national organization whose program is designed to supplement occupational skill training with personal and leadership development and recognition," said Bruington. "The state conference is the highlight of the year for VICA members who are students of industrial technology education, representing industrial arts, trades and industries, technical and health occupations," he added.
