Student seeking asylum confronts congressman

By RomanS. Koenig Editor-in-Chief

ASYLUM: See a related story on Abu ala Badrudoza's plight on page 3.

A Bangladeshi student on a week-long hunger strike who is seeking political asylum confronted Congressman Ron Packard (R-Carlsbad) on campus Sept. 20.

Packard was at Palomar to address a group of students in political science and American Indian studies classes.

"I can't go to school. I can't get a job. I can do nothing," said Abu ala Badrudoza, a former vice president of the student faction of the Awami League, the main opposition to the Bangladeshi Nationalist Party.

Badrudoza was enrolled at Palomar, but dropped classes this fall because he was afraid he would be deported.

"I tried to apply for asylum, but no one will help me," he told Packard.

"Most of you know it's an immigration problem. I hope you're aware of it," replied Packard. "We have been working with that extensively with that in our office, and we'll continue to do all we can.

"But there are rules and regulations that we as members of Congress cannot ask the government to violate, and within the realms of what's do-able I can assure you that we'll continue to work to help resolve your problems."

Badrudoza claimed that the slo w response to his request for asylum is

political. He also spoke out against what he called a lottery that "only allows so many people" into the country.

Packard admitted the government bureaucracy is slow in accepting immigrants and requests for asylum.

"The United States, of course, has got major problems with immigrants ... and the committees that I deal with in the congress that have the jurisdiction over immigration are extremely slow to move in any legislative strategy to try to relax or change our legislative laws," Packard said.

Controversy concerning the exodus of illegal immigrants from Mexico to North

County for agricultural work has been an issue for several years, Packard added.

He said that immigration problems here are the most difficult in the country to deal with.

Packard said that he initiated a letter, which was signed by the other members of the San Diego congressional delegation, directed to the immigration service asking them to streamline the process for asylum applications from eight to nine months to three weeks to a month.

"I'm not a member of the immigration committee of jurisdiction in the congress," he said. "And, therefore, they don't listen to me other than the fact that I represent a district that has serious immi g rat ion (s~e PACKARD- page 12)

Lights went out, computers shut down and some classes were cancelled when a blown fu se knocked out power on campus Wednesday.

According to Julian Serna, assistant director of facilities, a fuse blew on an SDG&E power pole behind the art building. It was estimated that repairs would take approximately two-and-a-half hours, but systems were a go after an hour.

Although all power was restored, computers in the math lab were still down, said Jackie Pousset, a math lab assistant. "All classes are being conducted as a study hall ," said Pousset. Mike Dimmick, the lab' s computer technician, was not available to bring the computers back on line, she added.

The writing lap aho experieJ!ced complications from the power outage. ..Several

students lost documents they were working on and the entire system had to be turned off," said Charlie Knust, a lab assistant at the center.

He added that the back-up power system does not last long so the main computer had to be saved first. By 2:45 p.m. , it too was up and running again.

Suspect witnessed in car break-ins

By Sean Fitting Staff Writer A suspect has been identified in the wave of parking lot break-ins.

Since the beginning of the semester, an average of seven breakins per day have occurred in Palomar parking lots, according to the Campus Patrol. At about 7:30p.m. last Wednesday, Campus Patrol Officers Scott Lee and Rob .Edwards staked out lot nine and reportedly witnessed a Palomar student breaking il!to a pick-up truck.

The suspect fled into a waiting car, so t~e Campus Patrol officers blocked the entrance to the parking lot. Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd Mahan said "because of the van blocking the entrance, they flew over the curb, turned their lights off and sped out Comet Drive onto Mission and disappeared.

Campus Patrol followed to get the licence number and relayed it to the sheriffs."

The sheriff's department is currently investigating the report.

"The suspect is a student at Palomar's Escondido Center," Mahan said. "We have suspected him before," because he has a previous burglary record, he explained. Since this incident there have been no other break-ins.

Two other cars were broken into on the same day. One of the other cars broken into that day was owned

by Todd Arnold. "We are pretty sure, 99 percent, that it's the same guy," said Officer Lee "because this break-in occurred in the same parking lot and follows a similar pattern."

Arnold left his brand new pick up locked in the parking lot when he went to class at 10 a.m. When he returned around 4 p.m., both his doors were unlocked and open.

His CD player had been pried out of the dashboard with his own scissors. He was also missing a CD case, and textbooks. Total value of all of the missing items was approximately $500. At 4:05p.m. he notified the Campus Patrol.

Two sheriff's cars arrived about an hour and a half later, at around 6:00 said Arnold. San Diego County Sheriffs Officer Mark Naschke recorded the information and dusted for fingerprints. They were able to get a clear set of prints off of the left wind wing, said Arnold.

"The guy was a rank amateur," said Arnold. "When he cut the wires he left all the fuses, circuit protectors and resistors." If the culprit plugs the stereo in, it would burn, said Arnold.

Hi-tech writing lab opens its doors to students Official opening celebrated with ribbon-cutting festivities

By Sara Skol Staff Writer

Flexibility is the key to the new writing lab in room S-3, which celebrated its official opening on Sept. 24 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The lab, which has 30 computers in room S-3 and 13 in roomS1, is already serving 32 English classes, according to Christine Barkley, English department member and lab director.

The writing lab serves English 10 and English 50, both four unit courses. The classroom teacher teaches one hour a week in the lab.

Students work on writing assignments in the lab on a drop in basis.

Afternoons are open for room S-3 drop ins and mornings are open for S-1 drop ins.

Students in one class can edit each other's papers through the computer bulletin board. When an assignment is ready for editing, it is put on the bulletin board. Another student types in comments on the work, initials it and saves it.

Peer review is good feedback, Barkley said.

"Palomar has more (wri ring lab) programs available than any other school in Southern California," Barkley noted. "We have programs for generation of ideas, programs

for writing, peer review, collaborative writing, grammar check through fmal revision," she added.

Barkley said that she is grateful to Title III funds and to the school for help in initiating the program.

The lab is flexible in other ways.

Students who work on writing assignments at home can use their disks with the lab's Macintosh computers. They can do work in the library on an IBM and enter their work directly into the Mac in the writing lab.

Programs like Word for Word, Apple File Exchange and Access P.C. translate other formats for use in lab computers. The same programs translate the data back to the student's own computer format.

This way, Barkley says, "No one is shut out of the lab."

Another available program is a writer's helper, which permits a student to create details for assignments. A program called Aspects allows students to collaborate in writing. Barkley explained that four or five people view the same screen on different computers. They then discuss changes to make in the text.

A grammar exercise called Blue Pencil helps students with fragments, pronouns or other points of grammar. More programs available include Microsoft Word, a .

The open house allowed students and faculty to see how the lab operates.

Grammatik, a grammar checker, will find obvious grammar errors.

The computer network has two servers and 600 Meg of memory.

Everything any one has worked on is always saved and stored. Because of the storage capacity, teach-

ers can look at students' work at any time.

"Teachers can see things in draft format and catch problems ahead of time," said Barldey. "Access to students' work gives the teacher information to help the student," she added.

In the first class, students learn the security system. This allows them access to only their folders.

The must sign in with their first name, last name and an assigned password. "This way no one can steal or trash another student's material," Barkley explained.

Remodeling projects provide space, new looks

By Andrea Cavanaugh Staff Writer

according to Mike Ellis, director offacilities.

Remodeling typically takes place during the summer, Ellis said, because of limited access to buildings during the semester.

Classes in the E building were rescheduled this summer in order to allow maintenance workers to complete long-awaited ceiling repairs.

Head of the welding program, Terry Block, said he "moved heaven and hell" to transfonn the welding shop. He said the shop reminded him of"the black hole of

Palomar College underwent a transfonnation during the summer in what Superintendent/ President Dr. George Boggs described as the most active remodeling effort ever.

Projects included the creation of 14 new faculty offices and the renovation of Palomar's writing, math and computer labs.

In addition, a substantial number of smaller projects were completed over the summer,

when he became a full-time faculty member in 1990. The interior of the building had not been painted since 1956, according to Block.

Mter staff members sprayed the walls and ceiling, machinery and fixtures were painted by students using donated paint, Block said.

The colorful two-tone welding booths, along with trade signs provided by Block, have transfonned the facility into "6000 square feet of a very nice shop," he added.

Ellis said remodeling projects

are secondary to the buildings and grounds staff's "number one job" of preventative maintenance for campus buildings.

"Because of the budget shortfall, the state is reluctant to fund 100 percent of anything, given the uncertainties," Boggs said.

Ellis noted his department has received 121 work requ~sts since However, he noted the state has July 1. The summer renovation continued to provide 100 percent projects were completed without funding for construction at adding employees to the building university campuses. and grounds staff, Ellis said.

Money for remodeling is There are a number of derived from state funding for remodeling projects proposed that deferred maintenance, which can have not yet been funded, Ellis be used only for the upgrading of said. facilities, according to Boggs.

Bush needs nerve It's time to make some prudent maneuvers at this juncture. After all, the networks are saving air-time for our executive chief, and this could be great footage for the '92 campaign.

The President is again presented with another opportunity for a "sound-bite."

President George Bush is again sending bombers to the Persian Gulf.

Wasn't the war fought because Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein has the potential for nuclear arms? Didn ' t the U.S . bomb Iraq with the expressed purpose of disarming that madman? So what happened, did we lose?

No , we didn't lose the war, but America stands to lose a lot if Bush's practice of politically expedient leadership continues to persist It's his practice of always waiting for approval from an opinion poll before acting. It's an administration judged not by the strength of its character, but by the size of its Nielsen ratings .

And now Bush wants Secretary of State James Baker to negotiate a Middle East peace plan. If Bush had been more decisive during the war and had agreed with the military analysts, and gone all the way to Baghdad, the U.S. wouldn't be in the ridiculous position of playing hide-n-go-seek with a "nut case" that has delusions of Nebuchadnezzar.

With Bush' s domestic policy somewhere in "Twilight Zone ," the once incredible allegations of Bush using foreign wars to raise his approval ratings are now becoming more credible.

The Bush years have been a series of seized "sound-bite" opportunities; nothing tangible, and certainly gives evidence of the lack of leadership at the White House.

The nuclear bombs in Iraq, looming in the future, the onagain , off-again recession, the environment a constant riddle - America doesn't need a ratings watcher, it needs a leader who actively works for the benefit of the country and the world. Bush is so worried about his ratings, he's a bigger actor than the previous president.

It's time to throw the bum out.

Support Croatia Croatia is going through the ultimate test of national will, as the pro-communist Yugoslav Anny tries to crush its secession.

An economically backward Serbian minority is trying desperately to keep Croatia from becoming independent because it will mean political and monetary competition.

The charge that an independent Croatia would commit genocide against the Serbians is about as ridiculous as the allegations made that a unified Germany would start persecuting Jews again. If Serbs fear living in Croatia so much then why stay when Serbia is right next door.

The answer is Croatian social and economic succes.

Serbian militants should stop allienating themselves as the PLO has with pitifull terrorist attacks against innocents.

Croatia is breaking away from an old communist Yugo-. slavia. In this era of freedo m we should support such efforts as we do others around the world.

Telescope reader wants more editorials My current kick is papers, and writing to editors is my hobby. I don't see any reason why your paper should be deprived.

I am concerned with the country's best interests, and I keep up on issues like theS&L scam, taxes, SAT scores, Operation rescue and sundry other misfeances. I think that most people would form reasonable opinions regarding these issues if provided all of the facts.

On the other hand, this might be easier if more people were inclined to read the likes of the Christian Science Monitor, Wall Street Journal, LA Times and the Washington Post Instead they read only the local papers to keep up on the latest sporadic and usually inconsequential happenings taking place in the immediate environment.

Hence, they are not likely to think straight, vote sensibly (the party line) and in most cases, give a dam about national issues.

Now take your paper for instance. It carries four pages of local accidents, murders, thefts, bazaars and the like with three pages of sports in intimate detail.

What the telescope needs is more editorial news and other views. I am not knocking the need to know your neighbor, but the reader needs to be exposed to more.

Maybe a box on the front page with the latest information on how he the taxpayer is being taken for a ride by the government. Well maybe its a lousy idea, but it might spice up your paper, at least I hope so.

One of America's Favorites is gone One of America's finest writers of children's stories has gone on to that storybook in the sky. Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, died Sept. 25 in his La Jolla home.

This truly loved writer was the author of 48 books written to help children learn to read. He brought creativity into the minds of the parents wl!o read them as well.

Perhaps his best known works, "The Cat in the Hat" and "The Grinch that Stole Christmas," will always be remembered, but all of his stories were wonderfully written and several generation of readers would not disagree.

His books were internationally known and written in 20 different languages. Remarkably, Geisel continued to write up to the time of his death, including a book "Your Only Old Once,'' written for adults, at age 82.

Geisel ironically, never had children of his own, yet he understood the imaginative minds of children. His creative characters, such as the cat, brought such joy and laughter to all.

This Pulitzer Prize winning author may be gone now, but Dr. Seuss will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of all of America.

But perhaps the best way to say good-by is to use his own style. Well Dr. Seuss, you silly goose, you had to leave us with that cat in the hat still on the loose.

Govâ&#x20AC;˘t mixture is the future A few mornings ago, two stories seemed to jump off the CNN colored wallpaper crying for special attention. The first was the "collapse" of communism in the Soviet Union.

In this story I saw the problems that arise when a government goes to extremes in an effort to regulate the economy.

Governments are, almost by defmition, a cumbersome bureaucracy. No matter how representative they are, they can only respond to the demands of the population second hand, and are unable to meet the constantly changing needs of a modem economy.

The second story was about a fire at a poultry plant in North Carolina. Twenty five people perished in the fire.

The tragedy of this story lies in the suffering and death caused by unscrupulous owners who had locked the plant doors to keep employees from stealing chickens. The plant had not been inspected for 11 years. The employees had not .reported the violations for fear of being fired from one of the few jobs in the area.

In this story I saw the problems that result when laissezfaire capitalism is left unchecked. It illustrates the need for the government to regulate and maintain checks and balances on industry. Left to itsown devices, the desire to get ahead will inevitably tum into greed. s9 what does it all mean? The demise of the party in the U.S.S.R. means that they are going to be looking at the successes of our system. As we try to take control of our collapsing fmancial industries and declining health system, we should take a closer look at their successes.

It seems that the future lies neither with "us" or "them."

Instead it lies in sumething new. We are going to have to do more than a rehash of old rhetoric in forging this brave new world. The future lies in the unknown which is both scary and exciting.

As I was pondering this emerging world system, the phone rang. It was an old friend of mine and his wife inviting me to a BBQ. I had known them for many years.

When they first met they had fought like cats and dogs.

Out of this feud had come familiarity and the building of channels of communication. This eventually grew into a healthy respect and a sharing of values.

The next major event in their relationship was the birth of their first child. They had both read different books on the subject, and had radically different ideas about child raising. One believed in spanking the other didn't One believed they should tell the truth about Santa Claus, the other didn't. They nearly split up on the issue of whether to name it after him or her.

I went to the BBQ. We sat around after dinner and discussed the good old days. They both laughed about their old ideas agreeing that kids can't be raised by books. They are raised by dealing with the every day little crises. In the end the kids, both of them, had a bit of him and of her, but for the most part, they were themselves. They were entirely unique individual human beings.

The kids were good and bad, devilish and innocent, cute and at the same time full of impish spirits. In short they were perfectly normal kids.

California roadways a big parking lot The other day President Bush stated that California was a leader in transportation. Give me a break. Has Bush traveled I-15 during the morning commute, or Highway 78 .

How about I-5 in either direction.

You just can't get there from here. Between traffic and ,construction getting around in California is about as simple as having a liberal Supreme Court.

Palomar students know all to well how Caltrans operates.

After waiting in line to get off campus, students barrel down Mission road playing dodge the people only to come to a screeching halt at Twin Oaks Valley Road.

Cal trans thought it would be fun to place a four-way-stop sign at the entrance to Highway 78. Students must now use their driver etiquette, "after you," "No you first," creating a back-up all the way down San Marcos Boulevard. Some students do a fast U-tum and head the other way only to fmd the same scenario at 78 and San Marcos Boulevard.

Others try Mission. But alas, the City of San Marcos suddenly decided that Mission needed a major overhaul.

The only nice thing about that is, now a student can study the cows while waiting. Cowology 101.

Forget Rancho Santa Fe road. It has lights, an improvement, but they're not synchronized so it takes half an hour just to go one half a block.

That*S How I See It Amelia

So I think President Bush is wrong. California is not a leader in transportation, it a leader in hurry up and wait Until our smog-filled state gets mass-transit up and running like it should be, we all will have to continue playing, and paying, the waiting game.

Not to worry though, be grateful you're not a SDSU student, where you have to leave on Monday to arrive by Friday for a class you can't get into.

Israel must make concessions for U.S. economic aid President Bush, who has proven himself quite adept at foreign policy issues, has taken on the most difficult challenge of his administration; trying to bring Israel and its Arab neighbors to an agreement concerning the future of the West Bank and its Palestinian population.

Recent history has handed Bush an extraordinary opportunity to force both sides to the negotiating table, thus possibly leading to peace in the world's most volatile region and securing the long term economic interest of the United States in an oil-rich region.

Success can be achieved by dangling a $10 billion guaranteed loan in front oflsreal as an incentive to speed up the peace process.

Israel, faced with a certain flood of Soviet Jewish immigrants, needs an influx of cash to provide housing for its citizens and to keep its economy from spiraling out of By attaching certain conditions to our guarantee Bush can

successfully bring both sides to the negotiating table, having already won the trust and admiration of the Arab leaders by the overwhelming victory in Kuwait.

At one time it would have been considered a minor miracle to get Israel and the Arab world to agree on anything besides their mutual animosity, now it could be a very real possibility that some of the most pressing problems can be openly discussed by both sides, which is the first step towards an eventual settlement.

If Bush can get Congress to co/operate in this political black-mail he might be able to pulloff the foreign policy feat of the decade; getting two historic enemies to agree in the division of disputed lands and form a mutual concensus regarding the future of the region and Israel.

The Arboretum's fate is held at stake Photos by Mike Bagstad

Story by Sean Fitting Where is the nearest place for Palomar Students to see and study over 400 species of plants representing every continent?

The answer is at the Palomar Arboretum.

The Arboretum is located next to the library. A quick sample of the plant life it contains includes Bunya-Bunyas from Australia, Cape Chestnuts from South Africa, Indian Longleaf Pines from the Himalayas and Umbu Palms from the Pampas of Argentina.

The Umbus which were seeds justtwodecades agoarenowtrees with trunks up to 10 feet in diameter.

The success of the Umbu trees illustrates the success of the Arboretum as a whole.

It all began in the fall of 1971, as the brainchild of Brian Hawthorne, a former Palomar student.

Hawthorne was impressed with

'(The preserve) is one of the finest stands of native sagebrush vegation in the county, and is an outstanding area for classes of the natural sciences.'

Wayne Armstrong Life Sciences the arboretums found on large universities on the East Coast, according to a guidebook of the botanical gardens. "He almost immediately wondered why this campus could not have such an area."

The dream was expanded when the Governing Board's Master Planning Committee ruled that the area along the eastern boundary of the Arboretum should be a Natural Wildlife Preserve.

Life Sciences Professor Wayne Armstrong said in a recent article for Pacific Horticulture, that continued preservation of this area is especially important in view of the rapid development of the North County area.

Already some of the species are on the rare and endangered species lists. Armstrong says the preserve "is one of the finest stands of native sagebrush vegetation in the

county, and is an outstanding area for classes of the natural sciences."

At least 400 students annually study biology, zoology, natural history, horticulture and botany in the Arboretum. Armstrong also claimed the area is used by Art students.

Indian remains found around the area make it a valuable training ground for Archeology students.

The addition of a fitness trail has made the area valuable to Physical .

Education students. Furthermore it is also used by local elementary and secondary schools as well as other community organizations .

The dream has come into dry times over the past couple of years.

"The drought stopped a lot of progress" in the Arboretum, according to ASG Senate candidate Alan Miller.

Miller recently took a tour of the Arboretum and came away with a long list of projects which he hopes to bring up before the ASG. He stresses that, "water efficiency should be important," in all future plans for the Arboretum.

He plans to fix the patio, walkways, and benches which have fallen into a state of disrepair. He also wants to acid wash rocks which have been covered with graffiti, and "fix fences which have been torn down by partyers."

Clearing away trash and covering exposed irrigation pipes along with "general landscaping and finishing off what has already been started," are also on Miller's list of things to do.

Miller hopes to find donations of money, work and time in the community. He is hoping not to have to increase the ASG funding of the Arboretum.

Miller also noted an example of this community effort during his tour. He said that he "saw Work Release workers clearing around trees and clipping around the sign," making reference to people who work off their traffic or misdemeanor fmes.

Lack of parking as well as lack of water has also been a challenge to the Arboretum lately.

Under one of the proposed parking improvement plans, the area east of the Arboretum is to be terraced in order to make way for more student parking.

For the moment this particular plan has been shelved in favor of developing new parking lots in the area in front of the theater.

The future of the Arboretum no longer seems to be threatened by parking, at least for the time being.

When Hawthorne first conceived of the Arboretum he hoped it would be a "quiet peaceful place for soul searching."

In this aspect both Armstrong and his students agree the Arboretum is a resounding success.

Witches to stand trial at Palomar College Theater

By Salvador Marquez Staff Writer A group of young women, to deflect attention from their own childish pranks, began pointing fingers at others in their Salem community - claiming innocent people were in league with Satan.

This ·was the beginning of the Salem Witch Trials.

Three hundred years later, a zealous junior Senator from Wisconsin began a witch hunt of his own. Senator Joseph McCarthy scoured the United States in search of communists, but his name is now synonymous with mob hysteria. The McCarthy era was another dark time for America.

Roadrunners left for road kill, 49-13

Madison Avenue - 2 Olympic tradition - 0 If and when the United States men's basketball team wins the Olympic gold medal they should send it straight to Madison Avenue.

Yes, the advertising geniuses fmally got their way. It was made official last Saturday on national television when a selection committee announced their choices for the team that will compete in the upcoming Summer Games in Barcelona, Spain. And with all the nominees accepting, you could call it a marketing coup.

In what was packaged as national pride, the United States Olympic Committee fought to allow professional athletes to be able to compete in the Olympic Games. Not concerned with every sport, the U.S.O.C. concentrated their efforts on basketball. Their contention was that the other countries were allowed to send their best players, so why shouldn't we?

What the U.S.O.C. was really concerned with was the fact that the rest of the world had finally caught up with and passed the U.S .A. in the Olympic format that had us using amateurs. After dominating for decades, the college players simply can not beat what the other countries can assemble.

What the U.S.O.C. concluded was that finishing second was not good enough. We have to prove what everyone including the other countries' players already know; that the best players in the world are in the National Basketball Association.

Enter Magic Johnson. Enter Larry Bird.

Enter Michael Jordan. Enter Madison Avenue.

What the U.S.O.C. neglects to mention are the millions of dollars that will be generated from having all these stars together on one team.

Every major corporation will want to sponsor this team. T -shirts, hats, posters, autographs, trading cards, will all help to make this one very profitable measure of revenge against the other teams that had the nerve to beat the U.S.A. Some people are saying, "what if we still lose"? Well I say what if we win by 40 points? How much pride can we take in that?

What will that do to the competitive spirit theOlympicswerebasedon?Whowill want to compete against our pros the next time?

During the major boycotts of the 1980s, a common belief was that the Olympics were society's last chance; that if we could not all continue to participate, then there was no hope for civilization.

Now with the new age of democracy upon us, wouldn't be a shame if the Olympic flame was permanently extinguished by the greed of the almighty dollar~

By Salvador Marquez Sports Writer What may be disappointing about last Saturday's rout, 49-13, over College of the Desert is that the Roadrunners may not schedule Palomar College again for football-ever.

And they can blame Comets quarterback Andy Loveland, wide receiver Jerry Garrett and all-purpose back Charles "Choo-Choo" Walker for that Between them, they accounted for all seven Palomar touchdowns.

The Comets will try to equal Saturday's effort at Riverside College, second-ranked in the nation, tomorrow, at 7 p.m.

In its second home game, Palomar, on its opening drive, wasn't at all hospitable, taking advantage of broken defensive coverage over the middle. Palomar quarterback Loveland hit Garrett with a 68-yard bomb for the early 7-0 lead.

Garrett had three touchdowns on 68,20 and 24-yard passes; catching five for a total of 138 receiving yards. Walker was the most versatile of the trio, accounting for 179 all-purpose yards, two rushing touchdowns and throwing for another.

The top pass catcher that night, however, was Comets all-state receiver Myron Wise, catching six passes for 144 yards.

"We've got, I believe, the greatest corps of receivers in the state," said Loveland, who threw for 23 completions of 38 attempts, 330 yards, three touchdown passes and one interception in little more than two and a half quarters. He also ran for a 6-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

Palomar scored its first three touchdowns with Schwartzkopf speed and efficiency. Aside from the Garrett 68-yard bomb, Palomar set-up its second score on a 48-yard completion to Wise- receiver Donnie McCallum scored on a one yard lob from Loveland. With 14:06left in the first half, Garrett caught his second touchdown pass, making the score 20-0 after kicker David Napier missed the point-

Palomar quarterback Andy Loveland led the Comets to 35 points in little more than two quarters. Loveland threw for 330 yards, three touchdowns and ran in for another. Palomar steps up in competition at Riverside College, tomorrow at 7 p.m. after-attempt.

What eventually hurt the Comets were the six turnovers and the speed of their scoring drives.

"I was a disappointed that we kept the defense on the field so long," said Head Coach Tom Craft. "There were a couple of lapses. We didn't cover the perimeter very well."

Down 20-0 in the second quarter, the Roadrunners capitalized on a JuniorTupolo fumble on the Palomai: 41 yard line. College oftheDesert receivers thencaught37-yard and 41-yard strikes from quarterback Dave McNight to pull within six points.

The Comets, a minute before halftime, pulled off a little magic of their own . On

Another defensive star was forward Mike Henry, who broke up any threat, Citrus posed. · As for covering the nets, goalkeepers Darren "Fro" Rosen (with two saves) and Ken Moffitt (with four saves), were simply unstoppable.

Rosen also saw action on the field as a forward in the second half. He was credited with a goal and two assists. Tim Blattler, the team's-third goalie, surprised all with a goal of his own in the second half.

Weak may be an understatement to describe the players of Citrus College, who looked lost and distraught as the game went on to its latter stages.

To show how much success Palomar enjoyed on the field, 12 different players scored for the Comets. This despite that Palomar was without their star player, defender James Daza, who was injured earlier in the season at the MiraCosta Tournament.

Leading the impressive onslaught in the absence ofDaza was midfielder Steve Nolan, who scored three goals in the first half, and was credited with three assists.

Final 1 2 "It was another day at the office," said 0 0 0 Nolan. "There wasn't much to prove out Citrus 10 16 Palomar 6 there, the other team wasn't very good."

The Comets also received great play from forward Bobby O'Neill andmidfielder Kevin Goals scored- Nolan (3); O'Neill (2), Masisak (2); Dawn, Kaczmarek, Olsen, Sarsilmaz, Boyd, Clark, Masisak, who both scored two goals of their Garcia, Roson and Blanler own. "This was a joke," O'Neill said. "This game has given us confidence, but not re- Assists- Nolan (3); O'Neill (2), Rosen (2); Daum, Head, Kaczmarek, Olson, Masisak, Santo and ally."

Asylum (continued from page 3) the main opposition party in Bangladesh, as publicity secretary for the League's student faction.

He was attending Comilla Polytechnic Institute for a civil engineering degree.

At that time, however, the BNP and the Awami League were allies against Lt. General Hussain Mohammed Ershad, the leader of - the Jatiyo Party who assumed power in a bloodless coup in 1982.

But the Jatiyo Party didn't rule Bangladesh bloodles'> ly.

"A worker from theJatiyoParty came to the Institute," Badrudoza said. "He told us if we joined their party, they were going to give us weapons and money. Otherwise, they were going to give us a hard time if we didn't follow their (the government's) administration."

Badrudoza refused. This was a turning point for his life, because in 1982, his once political allies became his oppressors.

"Ershad got some of BNP' s workers • 'uild his party," BadrudcL 1.J, '"· ,cause his was a military vern- "'t" This cc .natior wrted to be a distressing ~ ' "for ~ ·.,tdoza. He, and other <.~live m ·mbers of the Awami League, \·ere charged with a list of f .,e crimes, Badrudoza claim ~lis friends and himself were restricted to their campus and their homes.

Later that year, he and 17 other dissidents were arrested by police from a hostel that they were staying, and taken to a temporary military camp.

"They put me in a small restroom," Badrudoza recalled, "and they placed a 1000 volt light bulb on my head. They focused the light in my eyes.

"They asked us, then, for us to join the government party. They

said that they were not going to do anything to us if we would join."

Instead of bowing down, Badrudoza climbed higher in the ranks of the Awami League student faction. In 1984, he was promoted to the faction's librarian's post, while still holding the publicity secretary position.

There was no rest for the student supporters of the Awami League.

Badrudoza and his friends had to move from place to place to avoid theJatiyo. Two of his compatriots, Mahfuzur Rahman and Parvez Shein, had their hands cut off.

Eventually, the party caught up to Badrudoza, a year later.

"One day I was studying outside the Institute, with my friends, when some men came in jeeps," said Badrudoza. ''They took us in file, away from our Polytechnic Institute.

"And they tied (blindfolds around) our eyes, tied our hands behind our backs, and took our clothes off. They, then, burned our bodies with cigarettes. They had knifes with them, stun guns, and small pistols."

They claimed they were police, according t'J Badrudoza, though they had no identification. As they were being led to a tea store, he asked for a drink of water. Taken outside where the water was kept, Badrudoza made his escape.

In 1987, he finally graduated from Comilla, first in the class. He also moved up in the Awami League- he was now the vicepresident of the student faction.

According to Badrudoza, engineers and doctors are highly prized in Bangladesh. But, despite the new social status, Badrudoza knew one thing: he had to go to America.

"We'll continue to work with you," Packard told Badrudoza.

"But I don't have any magic solutions and it's very difficult, I have to assure you, it's very difficult."

During the meeting, Palomar student Annie Hintz approached Packard with a petition signed by 370 students concerned with Badrudoza's plight. Badrudoza began the hunger strike last.week to bring attention to his cause.

Packard also fielded questions about increases in college fees here in California.

He said that there was not much he could do concerning the fee increases because they fall under the responsibility of state government, not national. He said he has little, if any, influence over state budget decisions.

Educational spending on the

national level deals more with specialized programs like Head Start, he said.

One student brought up the issue of the availability of programs to disabled students.

Carson Schnaider, who is legally blind, said that he cannot take part in the work study program on campus because he receives Supplemental Security Income (S SI). He said he has gone to Financial Aid to try and get suggestions to solve the problem.

"I don't want any of your money. I want to work," he said, adding that he'll even take a free internship to get work experience.

He said that Social Security is holding him back from getting vital work experience.
