LIFE ON THE

Homeless man and former student Tony Bryan is being evicted from his .' makeshift home ,Qn campus today ,

Pi. homeless man is evj.cted today from lris Pal<:>war campsite adjacent to stude)lt parking lot 5.

Tony Bry~n, a 77*yeaN;>ld fonnerPalomarstudent; bas been living .on the Palomar campus for two years. SwervisorofCampus Patrol Boyd Mahan said that tlris isnotthefirsttime that Bryan has been forced to evacuate his campsite. Mahan claims that it is a health and safety hazard for people to live on campus.

"It's unhealthy as heck. The Health Department would blow a gasket if they came here and saw this," said Mahan, concerning the

practice of urinating and defecating under the trees in the parking lot.

Another concern that Mahan said he has is the possibility of a b:t'Ush fire starting because Bryan sometimes lights afu:e in his mini, barbecue for wannth and to cook meals.

Mahan said that Bryan was evacuated from the camp$ite be-hind the library over six months ''''ago only to n~;oveacrossthe(\YaY into another "parking lot. How~

ever, after being physically

abused and robbed, Mahan said ,Bryan w.as vulnerable in the new Jocation~sobemoved back to his previous domai{l where b,e bas resided ever since.

Bryan, an 11-year student of ,Palomar, said that hedoesn 't believe he is breaking any Jaws by living on campus. "I'm a tax'payer. no one can tell me I can't live here," said Bryan.

Despite Bryan's confidence in his rights , M;man sees the situation io a different light. "Can you imagine if everyone thought that there were acres of property at Palomar that people could live on for free?" asked Mahan. ..No, if I let Tony live here I have to let everyone.''

Bryan refused to disclose where he will be living next and wavers about whether in fact he really lived at the campsite. He currently claims be only used the spot for naps.

However, in an earlier interview with the Telescope, Bryan admit~ed tq living att:hecampsite and sleeping !n an abandoned shack that he secured with his personal lock. Bryan showed Telescope staff members the inside of)fl~sllack where he slept, which w~ dec()rated with p<;>st~ (see HOMELESS - page 3)

Enrollment up four percent

By Alex Pisarczyk Staff Writer

Teri Kane/Staff Plwtographer

Director of Admissions Herman Lee says enrollment has increased by 4 percent.

New statistics show that Palomar's enrollment continues to rise.

Herman Lee, director of admissions, records and veteran's services said that as of March 11, records show that enrollment has risen 4 percent since the spring of 1990.

These records include Palomar's main campus and all eight satellite campuses.

On census day of spring 1990 there were 23,025 students enrolled at Palomar. This semester the enrollment is up to 24,002, said Lee. Census day is the first record of enrollment for each semester, and census day is on the third Monday of each semester, explained Lee.

"Sometime this year, we were hoping to reach 26,000," said Lee. The latest data show that enrollment is up to 25,678, which is 117 more than the same time during the fall semester of 1990.

"It looks good, but I don't know if we'll make 26,000," said Lee. He added that the high point for student enrollment for the semester will be reached within the next two weeks, and if enrollment was to hit that goal, it would be reached by then.

According to Lee, the war in the Persian Gulf probably has taken its toll on enrollment this semester because more students would have been taking classes at the Camp Pendleton campus.

"If the troops were at Camp Pendleton, we would have exceeded 26,000 students by now," said Lee.

Concerns over tax service fee continue

By Darren Ane Staff Writer During the Governing Board meeting Tuesday night, concerns were once again raised over the $292,000 in property tax collection fees that the county has levied against Palomar.

The unexpected decision to charge Palomar the fee came as a shock to the school last fall because they had not included it in their 1991 budget. The San Diego Board of Supervisors agreed to levy over $9 million in property tax collection fees upon local school districts last year. Palomar has filed a lawsuit in order to avoid paying the fee. Earlier this semester, Palomar College Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs said in a press conference that the college will not pay unless it is forced to.

While Governing Board member Ben Echeverria supports the decision not to pay, he said that if Palomar loses the lawsuit, the school could face a much bigger problem. If Palomar waits to pay until the lawsuit is over and the school loses, the payment could double due to late payment fines and interest.

Mike Gregoryk, vice-president of finance and administrative services, is expected to release a report next week on the exact amounts the school would be libel for.

Board member Dr. Robert Dougherty addressed Echeverria's concerns. Dougherty believes that with the amount of

money involved with the lawsuit, it will take no time in getting to the California State Supreme Court and will be resolved very soon.

Harold Scofield, board member, said he thinks the school should go ahead and pay fees and if the lawsuit is successful, the money will all be returned. "I am quite concerned what it would cost if we lost. There are no guarantees. We are dealing with taxpayer's money and I just don't think we should take chances with it," said Scofield.

One concern President Boggs has with paying the tax before the case is decided is the school's image before the court. "I think we should follow the advice of our attorneys and not pay. If we would pay before the lawsuit, we would appear weak and that could hurt our case," said Boggs.

Echeverria suggested that when the case is in court, the attorneys representing the school should request a plan that would allow Palomar to pay the fee over a period of 10 years. He also suggested putting the money into an account to gain interest. That money would then be available to cover the costs if the school loses.

After the report by Gregoryk is completed, the board is expected to review it and hold a discussion at the next meeting. Until there is a solution, it is an issue that will continue to linger on with many different opinions. "Nobody has a little crystal ball that will tell us what is going to happen and I just don't think we should risk it," said Scofield.

By Roo Chatham Staff Writer As the war in the Persian Gulf comes to a close, we are finally able to look back and be thankful, and we have much to be thankful for.

We can be thankful that most of the brave men and women who were sent to the Gulf will be coming back and that those soldiers who fell during the fighting will not have died in vain. Our soldiers will be looked upon as heroes by both the people of the United States and especially by the people of Kuwait.

But is the war over?

The war may be over in Iraq but the conflict still existsas it has for many years now. The problem is, of course, the Palestinian question.

Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat announced last week his praise for the "brave steadfastness" of Iraq. Arafat claimed that the war had strengthened the position of the Palestinian question and that Israel had lost some of its influence among the Western leaders; he credited Iraq for making it possible.

It doesn't matter, really, whether Saddam Hussein truly intended to help the Palestinians by invading Kuwait, or whether he just used them as a ploy to gain support from the Arab community, as most believe. It would matter, though, if he were to be rewarded for destroying both Kuwait as well as Iraq.

It just seems as though Hussein is bound to be made the hero after all. I only hope that any intervention by the United States does not add to the illusion of Hussein's "heroism."

From the beginning of the Gulf crisis it has been said that the Iraqi invasion was an Arab affair and should be handled only by the Arab nations.

I supported, and still do support, our intervention in Kuwait for the simple reason that we were asked to assist.

Also, since we are in the business of selling weapons, we have a certain responsibility to defend nations that are victimized by our judgemental errors.

I do not feel that we have the same responsibility, however, for solving the Palestinian problem.

What possible solution can the United States provide that has not already been suggested? The problem is clear enough: there are 15 nations of people in the Middle East, but only 14 countries. This has left the Palestinians with the short end of the stick.

The United States plan is to have Israel return land currently under Israeli control back to the Palestinians.

Israel has already heard this idea many times before and has, as is their custom, expressed no great love for the plan. The Arabs, on the other hand, are pleased with our new position concerning Israel.

Never before has the United States enjoyed the respect of Arab nations that we presently enjoy. Should we be willing to risk our new found respect by intervening, once again, in Arab affairs?

I just don· t want to see Hussein come out as the hero and America as the "imperialist dogs" that only managed to cause yet more unrest in the Middle East. We have fought for a noble cause and have come out the victors. Let's not hang ourselves on our own good intentions.

Hey athletes: practice ball not greed!

By Patrick Gifford Staff Writer It's a sad day in Mudville, Alice. I have always considered myself a sports fan. When I sit down to eat my Wheaties, I'll still reach for the sports section first.

But what I read there now intrigues and infuriates me more than the front page. I'm not bitter or resentful of the amount professional athletes are compensated for what they term as "entertainment." I figure if someone is going to pay them the kind of money they're throwing away on "contracts," why not take it?

So be it! I can deal with that part of it.

What I really can't stand is how ridiculous some of these statements of one's self-proclaimed worth are becoming.

Heading this very undistinguished list is Oakland A's outfielder Rickey Henderson.

Mr. Henderson would like you to believe that he is not being shown the "respect" which he truly deserves by his current employer. Although Henderson just one year ago signed a contract that pays him a guaranteed $12 million over four years, he says he is being slighted.

The deal which Henderson agreed to last year made him the highest paid player in all of baseball. This came after his repeated complaints that he was not being shown proper "respect." (Whaaat? I hope this makes no sense to you also.)

The reward he wanted last year was a long-term contract that would keep him a member of the A's for sometime, and secure his financial future. But now that the salaries are getting more disgusting and uncomprehendable on what seems to be a daily basis, the pact that the A's and 'Rickey' agreed to last year is not good enough.

In an interview given last week, Henderson said that when he played for the New York Yankees, he felt that he wasn't being paid what he was actually worth, and this had a negative effect on his play. His batting average went down drastically, and he just wasn't the same player. Now, once again, he says that he is not being paid what he feels he is worth, and he does not want to be held accountable for the way his play may suffer.

Let's read between the lines folks. This man is saying that $3 million a year is not enough for a person of his ability. If he does not receive what the top salaries are now (Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens tops the list at an unbelievable $5.2 million a year) he won't be able to play up to the best of his abilities. That, my friends, is sick!

Whydothesemenaskforlong-term,guaranteedcontracts if they only intend to say they aren't good enough the following season? Better yet, how does a man who plays (as many players call it) a "kid's game" for seven months out of the year, for millions of dollars a season, expect to get any sympathy or compassion from an everyday person who struggles to pay the bills?

I do not fault a person for taking the money; I blame the owners for the salaries, as they are the ones who have let it get out of control. Let's face it, the owners of professional sports franchises are no village idiots. They are some of the richest people on this planet. Take into consideration that the San Diego Padres last year were sold for $75 million, and you realize that the owners are not getting taken to the cleaners as they might wish you to believe. But that does not give Henderson or any of the infinite number of others the right to become so greedy and full of themselves that it becomes nauseating to the average person.

What kind of an example are they setting for the youth of today? I seriously doubt that the average 10-year-old wearing an A's hat has any comprehension of what their supposed idols are really about. Their actions say that the only thing that really counts in this world is how much cash you can squeeze out of the system-that it does not matter if you have principles or are willing to truly earn respect. Instead, all that matters is that you're not getting as much as the next guy, and you're not going to play for a paltry $3 million.

Just once I would like to see one of these "gentlemen~· who signs a $20 million contract maybe give a $1 million· donation to start a help-the-homeless fund, or to the neighborhood that they worked so hard to escape. Maybe then, and only then, will Ilookatone of these men and say, "You are a hero for today' s children!"

A home away from home Director and staff create a warm working environment

By Darren Ane Staff Writer

Interim Director Cynthia Poole stands before her office at the Escondido Center.

Poole and her staff at the new satellite consider themselves one big happy family.

Each weekday morning, Cynthia Poole leaves her home in Escondido on foot and walks to a favorite place to see some of her favorite people. The place she goes to is her job.

Poole is the interim director of the Palomar College Escondido Center and to her it is not just a place to work, but a second home. At the center she has a permanent staff of eight people who she considers her family. It is apparent that the staff members feel the same way.

They greet each other with hugs and speak to each other in an informal, relaxed manner. This staff is, she said, "a cohesive unit that takes care of each other and this campus."

The Escondido Center opened in the spring of 1990 with only a few classrooms and about 1,800 students. At the time, Jim Clayton, director of community education, was serving as interim director of the center, but only temporarily since he was in charge of all the other Palomar satellites.

In June of the same year, Poole was asked to join the selection committee to appoint a director. Poole was currently department chairperson for counseling on the main campus and had spent time at the Escondido Center working part-time as a counselor. Instead of joining the committee, Poole put in an application for the job as interim director, a move she says was coincidental.

"I had been thinking of making a change for a while," she said. Then just a few days before they called her and told her they were looking for a director, Poole said she had told a colleague that she wished there was a position over there for her and " it turned out there was," said Poole.

Before moving to the Escondido campus, Poole worked for 23 years on Palomar's main campus. In 1989 she served as faculty president, and has also served on the faculty senate.

"I was really the new kid on the block but everyone was really cooperative and I felt very welcome," said Poole.

Today, a year later, the center has evolved into a larger campus with 35 classrooms and..S,234 students. As.with

any project of this size there were some problems, but nothing that couldn't be overcome. According to Poole the staff of eight really came together and worked on bringing the center together.

"To me, I would describe them as a group that went through a pregnancy and the labor of having this birth, and believe me there werereallaborpains," said Poole.

In this family, like most families, each member is different than the other.

According to Poole, their differences really helped them work together and help each other. Many times they get together for staff meetings and discuss what worked between them and what didn't and took

' I was really the new kid on the block but everyone was really cooperative and I felt very welcome.'

measures to make changes when needed.

Carlos M. Salas, a clerk whose duties include running the front office, feels that one reason that they are so close is that they all know each other and are there for each other. "I feel like it's more personalized here, it's more like a family than a staff. One reason is that everybody knows each other's job and at one time or another we will fill in for each other," said Salas.

At the present time there are no permanent faculty members. All the instructors come from other campuses or are just independent instructors working on an hourly rate.

Nicole Reynolds, who teaches at community colleges all through the San Diego area prefers the Escondido Center Alison Lake/Public lnformaJion Office over the others she's been to. "This is my favorite place to teach. You take something The Escondido satellite center is housed in what used to be a catalog showroom. to printing, and it's done, you need audio visual equipment, and it's there, the rooms are always immaculate and the people are always so friendly and helpful. It'sjust a real pleasant place to be," said Reynolds.

Even though the staff at the center is very important, the students are what really make the place come alive, said Poole. "I have a little note on my bulletin board that says 'Students aren't the main reason we're here, they're the only reason we're here' and that rings true for us," said Poole.

The students' reaction to the new facilities are the true reward for the staffs' work and the reaction is a positive one.

Poole and Salas both said that the students at Escondido are overall very happy with the campus.

Poole has applied to be the permanent director, but will not know the results until March 15. "There's something about being a part of a new birth, and now that this thing has been born I really sense that this very special crew are going to see that this The staff of Cynthia Poole stands behind her through good times and bad.

Performing Arts Department 'Works'

By Kathy Hines Arts and Entertainment Editor "How could you forget your first trick,"" All of the sudden smoke's pourin' outa the god damn building," "Wouldn't be great if we could just take this handful of plugs and just yank 'em?"

From the mouths of a hooker, fireman, and a hotel switchboard operatorrespectively, these are justa few of the quotes from the Palomar College Performing Arts Department play "Working."

Based on the novel by Studs Terkel, the stage adaptation of "Working" by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso is glorified by the Performing Arts Department.

The musical play, explains how people really feel about their jobs and the people that they work with. Actors and actresses on stage show a tremendous out pour of inner

thoughts and emotion.

For example, as a hooker (played by Lisa Ryan) told her story of her first trick for a man who wanted to see two women make love, she said that she felt no guilt. "I was back in 25 minutes with $ 50 in my pocket."

A fireman (played by Tony Parham) screams how excitingly dangerm~s his job is in this "F_ed-up world."

On the humorous side, a hotel switchboard operator (played by Diane Thrasher) gossips about how listening in on people's conversations makes the night go faster.

Director Pat Larmer, Music Director Cherie Hodgson-Armstrong and Choreographer Sue Gilson bring out the fire in all of the actors and actresses of "Working".

The performers radiate excitement in a scene from 'Working.' The play glorifies in song, the trials and tribulations of work. A spectrum of careers are represented by true feelings of American workers.

Comets Comets Nine rise from last to second v'ballers Baseball team gains respect in Pacific Coast Conference topple Orange Coast

By SalvadorMarquez Sports Editor

By Salvador Marquez Sports Editor California's number-one volleyball team, the Orange Coast Pirates ( 5-1 in conference, 7-1 overall) were shanghaied by the Comets in the Dome 15-4, 15-6, 16-18 and 15-10 on March 6.

Without anytime to rest on its laurels, Palomar went to Los Angeles to face Pierce College, a team never beaten

by Palomar, on March 8.

Never beaten until that Friday night when Palomar snapped an oh-for-five streak against Pierce College 11-15, 15-12, 15-6, 915 and 15-13.

"Orange Coast was undefeated going into that match, as was Pierce," said Comets head coach Duncan McFarland. "They were really big wins to beat both of those teams."

Victories over Orange Coast and Pierce Colleges were the beginning of a threegame spurt culminating in a 13-15, 15-4, 15-6 and 15-13 Dome win over the El Camino Warriors, last Wednesday.

The Comets have five sophomores in six of the starting positions, which gives them composure in pressure situations.

Like the fifth game at Pierce College, when the Comets were down 5-12.

Sophomore Rob Thomas spiked 15 of his 34 kills, to go with his four blocks, in the fifth game as he led the Comets on a 10-1 run.

Other fme performances came from sophomores Kurt Kinney, 20 kills and four blocks, Toney Monoghan, 19 kills and three blocks and setter James Coney with 93 assists.

But with a mostly sophomore starting six, McFarland has had to rely on a mostly freshman bench.

"One of concerns this year was not having enough depth, with our inexperienced bench," said McFarland. According to McFarland freshmen Chris Phoenix, Jason Weigel and Randy Lawrence have been ones he has counted on off the bench.

The Comets (9-2, 5-2) are in Santa Monica, tonight.

The Comets baseball team came within one run of first place in the Pacific Coast Conference, Tuesday, when the San Diego Mesa Olympians scored three runs in the top of the 11th inning to defeat Palomar, 7-6.

Tuesday's extra inning loss was Palomar's only black mark in a week of measureable improvement, witnessed by wins over conference foes Southwestern, Grossmont, San Diego City, MiraCosta and Imperial Valley.

The Comets have risen from last place, 0-2 in the conference, to second place, 5-3 in the PCC and a game and a half from first.

"I think Palomar is going to be there until the end," said OlympiansheadcoachMikeSanchez, who coaches first place San Diego Mesa College. "It's going to be nip and tuck all the way."

Converted freshman reliever MattTaylor, whobegantheyearas the team's stopper, went 10 innings, gave up four runs and received no decision.

He was bested in the grueling pitching match by Mesa's Jim Thomas, who went 10 innings for his fifth win. Comets middle reliever, Chris Adams, gave up three runs in the 11th for his second loss.

Tied 4-4 in the top of the 11th, Mesa's designated hitter Ken Sparling singled, went to third on Adams' wild pick-off throw.

Left fielder Mark Hallisey singled Sparling in, to make the score 5-4. Hallisey pocketed sec- Conerverted freshman relief pitcher Matt Tayor readies his ond and third and second baseman fastball against the Olympians on Tuesday.

Comblum's single in left-center and scored on first baseman Mitch Anderson's grounder to short.

Comblum scored on shortstop Jason Schmeiser's one-hop double that hit the left field chalk.

Unfortunately, Schmeiser was stranded on second after left fielder Spike Mitchell pasted a one-hop grounder to short for the final out.

The Comets took the early lead in the second inning when after designated hitter Comblum beat the throw to first. First baseman Mitch Anderson then grounded to Mesa shortstop Cesar Guzman, but Giordano dropped the ball on the force out attempt; runners at first and second.

Cambium and Anderson advanced one base to second and third when the next pitch bounced

by Mesa catcher Brett Brown.

Comblum scored on Comets third baseman Dave Goss' line drive single in left, which advanced Anderson to third.

Anderson scored Palomar's second run when Comets shortstop Schmeiser flied to deep left.

But in the top of the third, Guzman redeemed himself when he smashed Taylor's fust pitch over the 330 foot sign in left to bring the Olympians within one, 2-1. r Mesa grabbed the lead in the fourth when Brown doubled off of Goss' glove, down the left field line. Brown advanced to third and first baseman Todd Wilson was safe on first when Comets second baseman Steve Valencia bobbled his grounder.

Brown scored when Mesa right fielder John Gabrian singled up the middle and Wilson scored on a Taylor wild pitch, giving the Olympians the lead they would not relinquish, 3-2.

Palomar tied the game at three when Anderson scored from second base on third baseman Pat Betancourt's error. Anderson,after his walk to first, was sacrificed to second by Goss.

But Betancourt showed that he too could bunt when he tapped one to starting pitcher Taylor, scoring first basman Wilson, after he singled and was safe at third on right fielder Gabrian's double.

It wasn't until the seventh inning when the Comets tied the score again, 4-4, on left fielder Mitchell's triple to the fence in right-center and a Thomas pitch to the backstop.

The Comets will face Mesa two more times, which means Palomar will have to gear up for their running game.

"They like to run, I don't think they have great speed," said Comets head coach Bob Vetter. "And we have a guy behind the plate that can shut down the running game."

That man is the catcher, Afenir, who nailed two of five would be base thieves versus Mesa.

Tom Giamarria/Stqff Phottograph£r

Head Umpire Bob Radder caught a foul ball on the chin during last Saturday's 6-3 Comets win over the Imperial Valley Arabs at Palomar'sMyer's Field. Later, Radder would receive another.

From the Eastern region, North Carolina, a team with a great tradition and a great coach, they will be there for Final Four after taking Syracuse. From the Southeast region, Indiana will reach the Final Four after a shoot out with Arkansas.

In the Mid-Westregio1.1, Duke (with the bestbigmanintheACCChristianLaettner) will best St. John's and meet UNLV in the Final Four. As for the sleeper team in the tourney, my pick is North Carolina State, led by the "Fire and Ice" duo of Chris Corchiani, the top assist man in theN CAA, and Rodney Monroe.

TheRunnin' Rebels will go on to stomp UNC by the biggest margin in college basketball history.

Head Coach Jerry Tarkanian, monikered "Tark the Shark," will have his fill in the NCAA Final onAprill, chomping on Indiana. in front of a sobbing partisan crowd in Indianapolis.

Quite frankly, the only hope the NCAA has to avoid crowning the Runnin' Rebels champ is Arizona, who will face UNLV in the Western bracket final in Seattle, Washington. In the Midwest, Ohio State will be upset by Georgia Tech, who is led by point-producing Kenny Anderson, But steady Duke University should overwhelm them in the Midwestern bracket final.

New Mexico will surprise people, but not as mush as Lousianna State. The University of North Carolina should end an Cinderella hopes for New Mexico, however. Arkansas and Indiana will meet in Charlotte, North Carolina for the Southeast bracket final.

As I sit down to put my NCAA College Basketball picks in writing, one team can't help but stick out from the others_ the University of Nevada Las Vegas Runnin' Rebels. They have systematically destroyed everything that has stood in their way.

In the Eastern bracket, look for strong finish from the University of North Carolina, which will lose to Syracuse in the Eastern final. In the Southeastern bracket, Arkansas will overlook a underrated Rutgers. Indiana will get by a surprisingly tough Murray State to advance to the Final Four in Indianapolis.

In the Midwest, number-one-seeded Ohio State will be shocked by DePaul. Duke will survive a scare from East Tennessee State, and then will roll over Ohio Statefor another Final Four appearance. UNLV will cruise into the Western bracket final. Seton Hall will continue their unlikely late-season campaign by out-hustling an overrated Arizona team. "The Hall" will give UNLV their toughest game to date, but the Reb's are too much for them.

From the Southeast, Arkansas should stake its claim at Atlanta and finally, much as I hate to admit it, Indiana will be coming out of the Louisville site of the Southeastern bracket. But fear not, theRazorbacks should end the Hoosiers' quest for the title in the semifinal round.

My dark horse pick will be the Bulldogs of Georgia; quite a longshot, however.
