Deuk signs Student assaulted; suspect sought parking fee legislation By Tarnra Goulart Staff Writer
Members of the women's soccer team came to the aid of a student after an assault attempt near the cactus gardens at 1:50 p.m. on Oct. 3. The victim was walking from lot 3D, through the gardens, to lot 14, when a man approached her walking in the opposite direction. The man, who is described as a caucasion in his early 20s, is approximately six feet tall with a thin build and short blonde hair. At the time of the incident he was wearing sunglasses, a light colored shirt and shorts. "I could feel that he wasn't a nice person," the victim recalls when the suspect turned and proceeded to follow her. The victim asked him if he had forgotten something in his car, as a way of acknowledging that she was aware of his presence. "I wasn't really friendly," she says. "I just kept walking fast." The suspect then asked the victim how her day was and she replied, "OK." "Well, it could have been worse," the suspect continued. "Someone could have tried to pull down your top." According to the victim's account, the suspect then attacked her and tried to pull down her top. He then began unbuttoning his shorts and as the victim states, "I'm sure he would have (committed rape) if he had the chance-he was rather forceful." At that point, the victim managed to throw down her belongings and run off to the safety of a woman who had been walking ahead of her and climbed into her van. During the alleged attack the girls' soccer team, which was practicing on the field, had overheard the victim screaming. "At first we didn't take it seriously," admits team member Justine Tanzman. However, when the loud screaming continued, the players realized something was wrong. As Tanzman explains, the soccer team members ran over to the fence surrounding the
By Fred Tracey Managing Editor Governor George Deukmejian has signed legislation allowing community college districts to charge a maximum of $40 each semester for student parking. The bill, AB 2978, will go into effect Jan. 1. The Governor also signed a bill making it easier for students to declare a California residency if they are from out-of-state. If Palomar sought to increase the parking fee under new legislation, it would be the second time the college has done so since the 1987 summer semester. At that time, parking fees were $7 a semester before the college increased the fee to $12 a semester. The hike in the student parking fee would allow the college to pay for parking improvements. "We have a serious problem with only 3,000 spaces when we have over 21,000 students," said Superintendent/ President Dr. George Boggs. "Although those students are not here all at one time, students are having problems finding a place to park I think a lot of students are car pooling and some ride the bus, which helps minimize the problem."

ASG President Ken Green interrupts a recent Alpha Gamma Sigma meeting to rebut accusations made by the club's president, Diane Brandle.
In a scathing letter to the ASG senators, Alpha Gamma Sigma President Dianne Brandle accused Ken Green, ASG President, of misconduct, violating the checks and balances system, blackmail and extortion. The letter was read by Brandle to the senators at the Oct. 5 ASG meeting, which Green was not able to attend. It described a "disturbing" conversation between her and Green after the Alpha Gamma Sigma meeting on Sept. 29. According to the letter, "He (Green) then stated that he was making the ASG budget for the next year and that he would not write monies for the Inter-Club Council if clubs did not support the ASG." The ICC distributes money to clubs and organizations given by the ASG. "He said that he was making it mandatory that each and every member of all the clubs and organizations on campus buy $10 ID cards." The letter continued to explain how Green intended to accomplish such a task He brought up an example of comparing submitted membership rosters to ID card receits. "Ken, it sounds to me like your saying that unless all 250 of my AGS members get ID cards, then we won't recieve any funds from the government and that there will be no monies budgeted to the ICC for next year," read the letter. "That sounds like a threat." In the letter, she accused Green of writting the budget without the consent of the senators, and the Governing Board would approve the budget because, "They don't know what they're doing." At the conclusion of the letter, Brandle asked the senate to write a statement outlining whether
the ASG is supportive of the "mandatory ID extortion policy;" a statement as to how many other organizations have been approached with this "blackmail idea;" and a statement addressing the president's disregard of the checks and balances of the student government system. (see LETTER - page 2)
