Staff Writer A gift certificate: the traditional holiday gift-giving cop-out. Each season, students receive these from faceless relatives who haven't a clue what tastes or trends they subscribe to. To make this year's shopping easier for relatives of music lovers, here are a few alternatives.

• Fans of all types of pop music will appreciate ''Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?" by the Cranberries, who offerpure Irishness and brilliance on their debut album. A combination of soft melodies, haunting vocals and occasional brash guitar riffs provide a perfect background to any holiday social.

Cranberries' lead vocalist Dolores O'Riodan's unconventional vocal style leans toward

choirisb.Catholic hymns. But don't think O'Riodan and the three charming men backing her with guitars and percussion can't provide toe-tapping tunes. The upbeat ftrst single "Dreams" bit the topofthecollegeradiocbarts, while the other album tracks also provide quite a storm while maintaining the album's melancholic flair.

• British band Blur's longawaited second album, ''Modern Life Is Rubbish," bas hit the stands in America, promising to give therapy to individuals seeking relief from Northwestern "grunge" rock. (Finally!) It's an album British enough to make you want to cozy up with a cup o' tea, fresh scones and dancing your arse off.

Damon AIbarn, the band's front man, said his intentions were to make this album the "perfect soundtrack to a movie about En-

glish history." It's sure to please the Anglophile on anyone's gift list.

• Another gift from the British Isles includes veteran band James' ''Laid." Formed in the early 1980s, James emerged from the same generation as The Smiths.

Cluttered with 13 soft-spoken, acoustic melodies, singer Tim Booth explodes into characteristic howls on nearly every track. Infectious title-track "Laid" bas become a hit-click on alternative radio stations and was recently picked up

by MTV' s "120 Minutes" and "Alternative Nation" for heavy rotation.

• For glam-rock enthusiasts, there is Suede's self-titled debut album. Already a smash in the collegerock circuit, Suede's androgynous behavior and glamor~boy looks conquered America last summer on an extensive world tour that swept up adoring fans. First track "So Young" introduces their loud, refreshing, new sound.

X-mas concerts serve up holiday fun Palomar performers spread holiday cheer in December music and dance shows

By Brian Wallace

Staff Writer To start off the holiday season in a festive mood, Palomar's Performing Arts Department is showcasing holiday dance and music presentations Dec. 10-12 and Dec.17 -19.

First up is the classic ballet "Peter and the Wolf' along with a production of "North Pole Follies," a collection of holiday favorites including Frosty the Snowman, Santa and Mrs. Claus, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and many more.

This holiday extravaganza was choreographed by Tom Hansen and Currie Pederson and features dancers aged 7-70. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Dec. 10-12 and 2 p.m. Dec. 12.

Then, the following weekend ushers in a yule-tide sleigh full of music. The Concert Band, ConcertChoirand Recorder Ensemble

join forces to perform a selection of traditional holiday music at 8 p.m. Dec. 17.

The Christmas spirit continues at 8 p.m.

Dec. 18 and 2 and 8 p.m. Dec. 19 when the Palomar Chorale, Youth Chorale, Chamber Singers and Spectrum casts a holiday mood with their mixed bag of holiday tunes.

"I would recommend people come to it because I think it's going to be a lot of fun," says Concert Choir member Michelle Barrera. "There's going to be all types of Christmas music-not just the mainstream Christmas carols but also a Latin mass, so there'll be something for everyone."

Music instructor and conductor Dr. David Chase, has been involved in Palomar's Christmas productions for 19 years. He says he is impressed with this year's choir and he especially enjoys how the members hav~ come together.

"Because it's non-audition, we get all sorts of people in there and it's a very wide spectrum of backgrounds musically," he said.

"I really enjoy that because the older and more experienced musicians are sharing their knowledge and their talents with those who are learning from scratch," Chase added.

Chase, whose Concert Choir will be performing a Latin mass, encourages everybody to come and enjoy the holiday concert.

"The real interest of this particular concert is a great diversity not only of repertoire, but also of performing groups," he said. "We're going to be just one-third of that concert and the other two-thirds are just as different at you can get."

Tickets for all performances are on sale at the Howard Brubeck Theatre Box Office noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Prices are $9 for regular admission; $7 for seniors, military and staff and $5 for students. Group rates are also available. For reservations, call 744-1150, ext. 2453.

NEWS ASG debates location of tutoring center Tutoring center may displace student lounge next year

By John Conzemius

Staff Writer Facing temporary eviction from the library, members of the tutoring department requested at the Associated Student Government meeting Dec. 1, that the ASG trans-

'You come to college to learn, not to watch TV.' Karen Mailly, student form the Student Lounge into a tutoring center.

The tutoring department, which is on the first floor of the library, will be relocated next year due to renovations of the library.

Dr. George Mozes, library director, said that the remodeling was necessary in order to be in compliance with state health laws due to

the poor air quality, saying that the library is a "sick building."

ASG President Denny Ngo said the ASG had passedarequestmade last year by the tutoring department to allow the use of room SU18 for tutoring services for one semester, which was originally the estimated time of renovation.

When it was revealed by Mazes that the construction would take place over the entire 1994 school year, several tutors complained that in room SU-18's 619 square feet would be too small to accommodate the program and suggested the much larger (1, 15 5 square feet) Student Lounge be used.

In a proposal submitted to the ASG by the tutoring department, the department said that more than 1,200 Palomar students are enrolled in the tutoring program and that moving the operation into SU-18 would decrease tutoring availability drastically, cutting study cubicles from 20 to six.

The proposal further stated SU18 would preclude accessibility for disabled students because the aisles

would be less than 3 feet wide, an argument ASG Treasurer Amy Curtis said was erroneous.

"As a handicapped student, I don' t see how SU-18 is inaccessible," she said.

ASG Senator Heather Martonik said she asked students prior to the meeting about converting the Student Lounge to a tutoring center, and students in general said they didn't want the lounge taken away.

However, at least one student felt the Student Lounge, with its TV and couch, was less important than having a tutoring center. ''The tutoring center is very important and should take precedence," student Karen Mailly said.

"You come to college to learn, not to watch TV." According to ASG Adviser Jim Bowen, theStudentLoungeis used for activities other than watching TV, such as student forums, club meetings and educational videos.

ASG Executive Vice President Grant Marcus asked whether or not the Staff Lounge was considered instead of the StudentLounge, noting that the Staff Lounge was carpeted and considerably less used.

Marcus also said that the students are the ones who pay to at-

Heather Bass/EdiJor-in-Chief

Students use the Student Lounge located in the Student Union to watch television, eat lunch and just relax. tend Palomar, and the staff are the ones who get paid.

Dean of Student Support Services Lisa Spielman said that all buildings were considered for use by the tutoring department, and the Student Lounge was the only room available to fit its needs.

ASG Vice President of Social Events Sharon Hubbard said that while the school needs a tutoring

center, everyone needs a place like the Student Lounge to take a break from studying. Hubbard added that the Student Union, with its noise level, is not an appropriate place to have a tutoring center.

ASG President Denny Ngo stressed that SU-18 is still available for use by the tutoring center. '"They can move in next week if they want to," Ngo said.

Pearl Harbor lives on in American minds , Dec. 7 marks the 52-year anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor

By Bjarne Olsen

Staff Writer Of all the dates in recorded history, there is one that for nearly everyone is "a date which will live in infamy."

That day was Dec. 7, 1941, the day Japanese forces attacked the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

The surprise attack started at 7:55a.m. and took a total of2,467 American and Japanese lives, according to a Pearl Harbor visitors' guide.

The bombing was the final straw in along line of incidents that ended in American forces entering World War Il. The event was meant to be a decisive blow to the United States

and ensure victory for the Japanese Empire. But instead, the event prompted emotions on both sides and set the tone of the action for the rest of the war, accorrding to some historians.

Even more than 50 years later, emotions still run high at the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor.

The memorial was designed by architect Alfred Preis and dedicatedin 1962duringMemorialDay ceremonies.

Themonumentwasconstructed like a bridge, directly over there-

mains of the the battleship U.S.S. Arizona, a ship that was sunk during the attack of the naval facility .

It was designed with a sag in the middle, which inclines to the end of the monument. According to Preis, this symbolizes the initial defeat and the fmal triumph of the Allies over Japan.

Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the memorial every year, according to Pearl Harbor officials, and almost every one of them reacts in some way to the experience.

Many are stunned by the num-

'All citizens should understand taxes.'

David Rodriguez:, IRS Field Examiner to take this training, according to David Rodriguez, an IRS Field Examiner.

"All citizens should understand taxes because they are the person who is finally responsible for their tax return," Rodriguez said.

He added the classes would also provide students with an opportunity to learn about the accounting field. ''This study program would give a person a flavor for tax accounting," Rodriguez explained. ''The career of accounting is very broad and this is part of that career."

The IRS is hoping to expand the highly successful program onto Palomar and all other local college cam-

puses.

More than 1,000 volunteers participated in last year's program, helping an estimated 62,000 taxpayers in Southern California Program directors hope to reach vast parts of society with both the training and tax assistance aspects of the program this year.

Rodriguez said the prospect for expanded participation is tremendous this year. ''Wehaveahandicappedstudentfrom this campus who has signed up to participate in the program," Rodriguez said.

"So we may have the possibility for the disabled serving the disabled."

ber of deaths that occurred and the sight of the still-intact U.S.S. Arizona Still others who visit the site reflect on their own lives when they view the names in the courtyard of those that died during the attack.

"It makes you think," said one veteran of the Persian Gulf War. "You realize how lucky you really are, when you see the names of those that weren't so lucky."

Even after 52 years, the attack of Pearl Harbor is still frozen in people's minds.

NAT'L CHAMPS Continued from page I "Nobody seemed to pay attention," Boggs said of the team' s championship two years ago. ''This one (championship) has given the school a lot of recognition."

The current media attention is well deserved. The win marked the 17th victory in a row for the team. With only one. loss in two season's time, the Comet football team has won 31 of its last 32 games. This season's unblemished 11-0 record also marked the first time the team has gone undefeated through an entire season.

While it was a successful year for the team, individual players' performances received accolades as well.

Three Comet players were named to the JC GridWire All-American first team Dec. 1. Sophomore quarterback Tom Luginbill from Torrey Pines High, who became the nation's all-time passing yardage leader with 6,787 yards in his two years at Palomar, made ftrst team All-American.

Freshman place kicker Matt George, whose 21-yard field goal with four seconds remaining clinched the Comets national title, was also named to the first team.

Sophomore defensive back Craig Person rounded out this year's troupe of All-Americans.

With some tense moments during the game's fmal minutes, Boggs had this to say about the experience he and the Comet fans attended:"It was exciting," he said.

"It was the best game you could possibly experience."

ASG releases its survey results

By John Conzemius Staff Writer Associated Student Government Vice President of Social Events Sharon Hubbard released the results of an ASG survey which asked the burning question, "What Do You Want?"

Three hundred students responded to the survey, which asked for input from students as to what events they would like to see, and

'The comments were really constructive.'

Sharon Hubbard, ASG vice president of social events any constructive criticism they may have about Palomar organizations.

Of the 26 events listed as possible activities, the most popular were discounts, concerts and entertainment. Students showed the leastinterestin Comet Week, com~ munity events and game room events.

As a result of the strong showing for entertainment, Hubbard said she plans to include a comedy show next semester, noting that because of campus policy, the comedian would not be allowed to use profanity. ¡ Alternative ideas by students included campus events such as a "Love Connection" show, which Hubbard said is something to think about, especially for Valentine's Day next year.

Nearly 10 percent of write-in respondents disagreed with Palomar's status of being an alcohol-free campus, asking for the

creation of an on-campus bar.

Other suggestions made by students included improving the cafeteria's food, as well as hosting carnivals, wet T-sbirt contests and events to "create school spirit."

Some students said that the Associated Student Government needs more exposure to the Palomar student body.

One student wrote: "It's possible that I'm not very informed, however it seems that most students think the ASG exists only for its members and that it doesn't have anything to do with the students."

Suggestions from students showed a true dichotomy of interests. While a few people asked for a carnival or more entertainment, others asked for the music and noise to be turned down in the Student Union so people could study.

Most suggestions were on a serious note, Hubbard said.

"I expected the silliness, but if you look at the survey, 99 percent is serious," she said. "The comments were really constructive. I thought there would be more calling for sex, drugs and rock and roll."

The second half of the survey asked for comments about student activities and organizations on campus.

The majority of comments were aimed at the ASG doing more for the individual student and less for the ASG. Still some asked for more entertainment in the student union or video taping ASG and ICC meetings.

Another popular request was "do something fun, exciting and crazy. Do something different!"

Even though no one requested further surveys, Hubbard said she intends to circulate another survey next semester.

Underground tank to be exhumed Pipes indicate a tank, but its existence or contents are unknown

By John Harasciuk Staff Writer

In compliance with. state regulations, a large storage tank that may be underneath a shed near the art building will be removed over the winter break.

The tank's existence was revealed by an elderly maintanence man who happened to be on campus when another storage tank was being removed earlier this semester according to Mike Ellis, director of facilities.

~ted #1 Deli In North County

'The tank may or may not be under there," Ellis said. He said the only evidence of a tank existing under the building are some pipes coming up out of the ground.

According to Ellis, it is not known what the tank contains or whether it even exists at all. But state codes dictate the removal of any underground tanks that are not up to code.

The possible contents are as much of a mystery as the existence of the tank, Ellis said.

Ellis speculated that it could

contain gas, water or even used oil.

He said the school is also required to remove any contaminated soil that may lie under the tank after it is removed.

When the first tank was unearthed, three barrels of contaminated soil had to be removed, according to Ellis.

The project, slated to begin Dec. 20, involves the demolition of the wood shed behind the art building.

Ellis said that the $56,000 Palomar will pay Ace Excavating and Environmental Services of El Cajon to remove the tank is statefunded.

When the removal is fmisbed, the old wood shed behind the art building will be replaced by a new metal one.

Correction: In the Nov. 19 issue, Shirley Owen's response to the Campus Voice question about whether women under 18 need parental permission to get an abortion should have read, "I think they should because if their parents are going to be involved, they may think twice."

Palomar to join computer age via ISS New system to be installed in three to five years will link students to college network

By Francis T . Crowley

Staff Writer

,

Palomar College's Information Systems and Services is building an on-ramp onto the information superhighway.

The ISS will help the college merge on to the information superhighway when they integrate campus computers into a worldwide network, according to its new director David Delacalzada.

Students who use PAR (Phone and Register) or type into one of thehundredsofcomputersoncampus are using a few of the results of theiSS.WhentheprospectivePAR registrant pushes the buttons on

their phone, they culminate the work of the entire ISS department Working behind the scenes, the ISS works to bring the most up-todate computer equipment possible to Palomar. ISS is the central unit for organizing many different programs which have been in the works for years, notes Delacalzada. ''We would like to climb out of the dark ages and into the automation age," he said.

Delacalzada said his duties are to provide better service to the student. "Whether it is printing out grades or helping with registration, everything we do here is basically geared towards the support of the student," he said.

He described the process of networking all the campus computer work stations together as one integrated system.

"We will be re-engineering the infrastructure of the college so that it supports a network-wide enterprise," he explained. "If you go to your Apple work station or your PC-clone work station, it's going to be networked together so that you will be able to access software more readily as opposed to moving from one room to another."

Additionally, Delacalzada's duties include being the Palomar liaison to the Community College MIS Consortium, which is a group of eight community colleges that

are working towards creating software for the integral use on college campuses.

"I am on that committee to make sure that the technical aspects of that project are being accommodated for," he said. "I am also looking out for the business concerns for Palomar College."

The Consortium is working towards redefming the term "information technology," according to "On Lines" the consortium's publication.

Delacalzada also said one of his jobs of being an advisory member with the Library Automation Task Force is working to fully automate the library catalog system.

He explained that the task force is currently studying the evaluation of various library automation products presently available.

Delacalzada said that in the fu-

DREAM DAY disabled people and seniors and another on anger management A panel will address alternative therapy and health care.

Besides the workshops and discussions, boxing and dancing demonstrations will be featured at the event, storytellers and face painters will cater to children and international food will be sold. There will also be a drawing for a unity quilt made by a local woman.

To prepare for the event, Dr. Margie Ruzich, chair of the Child DevelopmentDepartment, is teaching a two-unit intersession class called "Promoting Diversity" (Chdv 197B Section 6285).

ture, the campus will be linked with a data base network called the Internet Connection. This will enable the campus to communicate with more than three million users on 727,000 known Internet computers in more than 100 countries.

This application alone will give Palomar users access to research sites in universities and hospitals along with government and commercial sites. ''There is a lot of work involved in trying to establish an enterprise network here at Palomar," he said. ''There's alotofplanning involved.

I wouldn't want to paint a picture that's simple."

He said when the system is connected in three to five years, students will have access to the computers in Consortium colleges in addition to math, English, science and library labs at Palomar.

Continued from page I

The class will meet Monday through Friday Jan. 3-15. Students in the class will help prepare for Dream Day, including putting together games and activities for children who attend.

Ruzich said the event is an effortbyadiversitytaskforceformed to address and promote diversity in North County. ''We feel the appreciation for differences begins prebirth," Ruzich said. "I walk through preschools and I hear ethnic remarks and derogatory terms. They are emulating behavior they've heard elsewhere. We're just as guilty if we fail to expose them to

(multicultural) experiences."

She said toys and children's literature have become a lot more sensitive to multicultural issues.

"It's important for self-esteem for children," Ruzich said. "We need to address this issue right off the bat. It's the lack of appreciation for differences. What we have to realize is we're more alike than different."

Ruzich stressed something one of her students who barely spoke English said: "We all have to realize our blood is the same color.

What's minor is our skin color."

INfo AT A c.LANCE

Leadership Through Diversity A Teaching Internship Program The aim of this program is to recruit and employ minority faculty at Palomar College by pairing each intern with a college faculty mentor. The intern observes and assists in the mentor's classes the first semester; then, in the second semester, the intern teaches a separate class while still consulting and being guided by the mentor.

The intern-mentorpairs also attend workshops to develop their skills as teachers and to keep them aware and up-to-date on diver-

sity issues. , This program is open to minorities who are graduate students or master's degree holders with no post-graduate experience and are interested in a teaching career at the community college level.

For more information, contact Candice Francis, the faculty diversity coordinator of the program bY- writing to her at Palomar College, or by calling her at 744-1150, ext.

2522.

Discussing aspects of criminal justice careers, intern Mark Chandler (left) speaks with students after class while his mentor Kevin Barrett (center) listens. ''The campus needs to represent the population they're in," she said. ''Minority faculty is particularly necessary in the San Marcos population (with) our proximity to Latin America."

Cox said when she had minority instructors in school, they served as important role models for her.

"You feel comfortable with that," she said. "It's a definite bonus. It's nice to have someone you can relate to."

Math intern Associate professor of math, Ramona Colwell, instructs her intern Inwon Leu in the fmer points of teaching advanced math to college students.

Leu, who is Korean, has a master's degree in statistics and is pursuing a second master's in math from California State University, San Marcos. Leu's goal is to teach math at the community college level.

Leu, 34, spent most of her time this semester observing classes.

"It's good for me to see the environment of the students," Leu said.

Leu said she admires Colwell's intimate teaching style, which she says is very different from four-year universities and colleges in Korea.

"She tries to get to know students; she's not just business," Leu said. "I learn a lot from her."

Protests almost dissuaded one intern Leu said that she hopes to work full time at Palomar one day, although at one time she admittedly did not want to work here.

She said she was disappointed with the school last spring with the minority hiring protests; however, when she heard about the Diversity Internship Program she changed her mind.

Leu said as an intern she does need to work improving her English.

"If I teach here, I need to work on the language," she said, saying that she wished she could joke with the class like Colwell, who has been teaching at Palomar for 23 years.

"Sometimes she cracks jokes," Leu said.

"It's hard for me to do that because it's not my language."

"If students really try, maybe they can accept me and my language problem," she said. "You don't really need a lot of English in math."

Public safety intern Mark Chandler is the intern studying under Kevin Barrett, an administration of justice instructor who has been teaching at Palomar for 15 months. Chandler, who is African-American, is observing and assisting in four sections of Barrett's Introduction to Criminal Justice classes.

Chandler has a bachelor of science degree in forestry at the University of Nevada in Reno and an associate degree in parks and turf management. He is pursuing an associate of art's degree in business here at Palomar in order to pursue his master's in business and public administration.

Chandler works full time as a ranger for the Bureau of Land Management where he is in charge of 90,000 acres. He enforces environmental laws and regulations, protects endangered species and habitats and

'If someone gains something from seeing me teach, then I've done my job.'

Mark Chandler helps conduct research.

"I'm an action junkie," Chandler said. "I protect the environment by catching the bad guys. I have to be in the right end of the deal."

Education completes circle Chandler says he is interested in teaching because it develops another angle of his career.

"In order to say you know something, you have to teach it," he said. "I can develop another side of me and expand my horizons."

The 33-year-old also said that he feels fortunate to be able to complete the circle of education by teaching at Palomar.

"I can return something to the community and give something to the students," Chandler said.

Chandler said be also fmds satisfaction in being a role model for other minorities.

"If someone gains something from seeing me teach, then I've done my job," he said.

He said there are not many ethnic minorities or women in his field, saymg that while these groups don't consider the field as a viable occupation, they should begin seeing all fields as accessible.

"As minorities, we sell ourselves short," Chandler said. ''We do have a lot to offer."

Group requests more classes on women Proposal to expand women's studies program presented to Faculty Senate

By Robert L. Wooley

Contributing Writer A proposal to bring women's studies programs to Palomar is making the rounds in hopes ofbecoming implemented by 1995.

The plan was designed by the Women's Studies Committee and presented to the Faculty Senate by committee chair and behavioral sciences in structor Kathryn Townsend-Merino. ln keeping with the college' s effort to promote ethnic diversity, Townsend-Me-

rino noted that "This program will be inclusive. teach about all women, not just white upper-middle class, but all races and classes, and promote diversity."

Townsend-Merino outlined the steps that the committee members will be taking to achieve their goal of establishing a women's studies major at Palomar by the fall ofl995.

Included in her outline were several steps which range from producing flyers that publicize women's studies courses to writing a formal proposal for the program.

The formal proposal should be drafted by

Dec. 15, Townsend-Merino said. If the proposal is approved by campus committees, it will be submitted to the Chancellor's office in Sacramento at the end of the 1993-1994 school year. The fmal approval from the state is expected to take a full year from the time of submission, according to TownsendMerino.

The women's studies program will consist largely of courses that are already offered by the college, such as English 280, "Women and Literature," and Psychology 130, "Psychology of Women."

The Women's Studies Committee is also developing transfer articulation agreements with UC and CSU systems. These agreements will aid students who are transfering to a four-year university with the intent of

majoring in women's studies, whether or not they receive an associate in arts degree in the discipline.

The first women's studies program was started at San Diego State University in 1970. Since then, women's studies programs have become increasingly common in both four-year and two-year colleges.

According to the plan's supporters, the purpose of these programs is to include the study of women in the curriculum .

Townsend-Merino said she thinks women are often ignored in academic studies.

She said she thinks that the constant focus on men, men's achievements and even phrases such as mankind, have done little to reinforce positive self-images among women.

original governing board members.

Thompson helped to organize the college support group known as the Patrons of Palomar shortly after her husband became a board member.

Nimmo said the organization was created because college supporters saw a need for monetary support for campus landscaping.

One of the first projects was a patio built where the Registration and Student Services buildings are now. Another initial project of the Patrons was to obtain books for the college library.

According to Nimmo, Thompson still attends Patrons of Palomar events whenever she can.

Thompson recently donated the

latest edition of "Who's Who of American Women" to the Palomar College Library. The San Marcos resident was accompanied by her son Jonathon and her daughter Judge Janet Thompson, a Palomar alumnus and the1958 Homecoming Queen.

Thompson has devoted much of her life to educating students in North County. She was a kindergarten teacher in Oceanside for 13 years and a member of the Vista Board of Education for nine years.

She served on the State Board of Education from 1952 to 1955. ln her spare time, Thompson helps teach children to read and works as an advocate for cancer research.

Ngo, having just arrived from looks up at the ceiling, his face wears a serious expression reserved for business and politics.

"When I had made it that far I decided that I wanted to see the student government headed in a different direction so I ran for president, " N go recalls. "I wanted to see students more oriented toward campus involvement."

One way he suggests is to attend ASG meetings.

"The only time people are attracted to attend a meeting is when their's a controversial issue coming up, especially when they read about it in The Telescope, but otherwise," he says, "there's only one or two students sitting in the audience."

As head of the ASG, N go feels he sometimes takes the heat for things that are 'out of his control.

One such incident occurred when Ngo was criticized in a Telescope editorial for his handling of theOct 12ASGmeetingwhichhe 1djoumed before addressing the ;tudents who came to protest dropping Comet Week.

"That's why I took the actions that I did. Some of our members had to attend meetings, which they didn't go to, which is why there was a story," he added.

Ngo feels that stories like this one, and others, have unfairly cast a bad light on the ASG. He says, "It's not new for the ASG and The Telescope to have problems with each other.

The wording doesn'tcome out the way i saidthey kind of twist the meaning."

Ngo also lays out some criticism about his fellow ASG members. "Too many of our members try to please too many clubs instead of looking out for the best interests of all the students," he

"I would consider Denny very hard working and dedicated to his job," she says.

"He can handle a million things at once, he's very professional, and he never loses his cool. He's also very committed to whatever he does," she added.

"I believe that I'm a hard worker," Ngo says, "and I believe it shows too. I don't go out there and advertise it, although I think that somehow people see that I'm a responsible person."

Ngo attributes his work ethic to his family- a family which be says fits the defmition of achieving the American dream . His parents immigrated from Cambodia in the late 1970s and his father went to work as a baker. After saving enough money, his parents opened their own doughnut shop.

Are labor unions outdated?

Unions provide working man with a fighting chance

The strong-arm dinosaurs do more harm than good

Graphic By Carlos Barrera

By Francis T. Crowley Staff Writer

By Judy Erickson Copy Editor

abor unions, just like other social organiza tions, play an integral part in the advance ment of mankind. To the millions of union members in America, unions play an important role in their daily work lives.

The purpose of labor unions is to promote and protect the interests of the worlcing man. Any kind of argument against labor unions is a naive thought towards basic inalienable rights of people.

Anyone who feels unions have outgrown their need should study the local political and labor climate here in San Diego. This year in San Diego county, workers have been organizing unions and employee associations because of the effects of the economy.

Many municipal workers have found they need strong negotiating power to prevent the reduction of wages in the face of decreasing city budgets. As in private businesses, the first way management attempts to save money is from the pockets of the people who can least afford it. Labor unions are the most legitimate tool for employees to combat the budgetary knife of management.

It has only been within a generation that such things as Social Security, pensions, worker's comp and many other social programs were put into place, instrumentally with the help of unions . .

The "American Dream" can be attributed directly to the worker being able to afford to buy automobiles and suburban houses thus leaving the tenements of the inner city.

The fact that millions of citizens had earnings sufficient to make substantial purchases made the American economy grow to become the greatest on earth.

Throughout the history of unions, workers have found avenues for fighting exploitation subjected upon them by unscrupulous employers.

During this century, labor leaders have sat as advisers on most presidential cabinets. Most presidents have recognized the importance of organized labor in the control and formation of social programs and legislation about economic topics.

The pragmatic practices of collective bargaining and binding arbitration are direct results of union ideals brought about by great minds such as Samual Gompers, George Meany and Cesar Chavez.

The concept of government being used as a mediator bas always been effective, except during the Reagan and Bush terms, who were admittedly biased against unions. Now that we have a pro-employee administration in the White House, the prospects of employee prosperity along with the economic recovery should begin in the near future.

Unions have always been protecting the rights of workers throughout America. Whether they are representing an emplbyee in a disciplinary action or utilizing the retirement fund of 10,000 workers in the construction of new housing, unions are facilitating the needs of America

here was a time, there was a place, for unions. That time bas passed.

When the fust union formed, employers had no one to answer to for the way they treated their employees. So they made them work inhumane hours for inhumane wages.

Who was going to stop them?

Then disgruntled employees banded together and stood up for themselves. Together, they

They force wages and prices higher and higher, feuling our society's debilitating inflation rate.

Union Representation In 1930 11.6 percent of the American labor force claimed union membership.

This number increased to 33.2 percent by 1955. Currently 16.1 percent of the work force is made up of union workers.

became a force to be reckoned with.

Unfortunately, today they have often become a force too formidable for everyone's good.

Union or no union, now employees who are taken advantage of can go to a labor board.

Since my construction-worker husband and his co-workers went nonunion, on at least two ocassions former employees have successfully blown the whistle on their employers and the company bas bad to pay up for past unpaid overtime.

At least once, a company went under shortly thereafter because of the thousands of dollars they bad to shell out put them out of business.

So, why bother with unions anyway?

They have more than once been linked to organized crime.

They force wages and prices higher and higher, fueling our society's debilitating inflation rate. They run unfair competition against workers who choose to stay non-union.

They sponsor sometimes violent strikes which cow honest taxpaying laborers into staying borne from work. None of these practices foster a better world for any of us.

During the Teamsters strike of the early eighties brutal slayings of temporary employees were not uncommon.

Let workers compete on a level playing field. When they need a strong arm, let them take advantage of the labor board instead of bullying management and the rest oflabor with labor gangs, 'er I mean unions.

It defmitely says something when our own Palomar faculty voted to reject unionism ..

Commentary The Green Gossip and journalism, a.two-headed monster Column

By Sarah Frederiksen

Staff Writer

Mireille Samson

Environment can be part of career goal hile you cherish the Earth and want to protect it for poster ity, aside from keeping upto-date on environmental issues and doing your part as a concerned citizen by recycling, conserving and voicing your opinion, what else can you do?

The answer, of course, is to incorporate an environmental slant to your job. Today, there are numerous "green" careers to pursue.

Law Lawyers graduating with specializations in environmental policy are vital in defending the Earth in courtrooms by making violators of environmental laws and regulations pay for their environmental insults.

Science Professionals in ecology, environmental science or any of the other science fields are fmding out more about the Earth and showing people how to conserve natural resources instead of destroying them.

Business Business owners, managers and economists are finding ways to cash in on environmentally friendly products, making the "green" market more successful and lucrative instead of a sacrifice to businesses.

Communication In order to communicate environmental information to the public, the "green" field needs journalists, policy advocates and public relations spokespeople who can interpret often confusing scientific terminology and keep society aware.

Education The future of the world lies in our children, and today's kids are more concerned about the Earth than any other generation.

Future teachers need to continue this trend of caring and conservation in the classroom.

Art Art is an important medium in portraying another side of environmentalism- of nature and man co-existing in harmony.

Artist Patricia Johanson transformed a polluted marsh in Dallas into "Fair Park Lagoon," a park replete with native plants integrated with public walkways.

Architecture Along the same lines as artists, architects are now designing buildings so they are integrated with natural on-site elements and reflect nature in their designs, rather than just jutting out of the ground as robotic skyscrapers.

Fans of the entertainment world love its gossip. The astonishing circulation numbers of trashy supermarket tabloids prove it.

This season, dirt-digging journalists have set their sights on the likes of Heidi Fleiss, Burt and Loni and the ongoing troubles of the British Royal family. However, this time around the No. 1 prey appears to be Michael Jackson and the Los Angeles Police Department's investigation of his alleged sexual abuse to a 13-year-old boy.

What is Christtnas Spirit?

By John Harasciuk

Staff Writer Christmas, to me, conjures up images of chestnuts roasting on the open fire, snow on the ground (everywhere it seems except for California!) and Norman Rockwell paintings.

Unfortunately, at this point I don't forsee my children and grandchildren growing up with the same images I received from Christmas.

One plague that is slowly ruining the holiday is the fact that it is becoming too "politically correct," or trying to exist without offending anybody.

While it seems that people still give gifts and Santa still flies around the world bringing joy to all of the little children of the world, I can't help feeling that there is something missing from my favorite holiday.

Perhaps it is the fact that most store clerks will wish you "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" or maybe it is because public schools no longer call the off-time between semesters "Christmas Vacation," replacing that term with

the clinical "Semester Break." (It seems that "vacation" was too nice of a term also.)

I remember when the Poway Unified School District changed their official policy on what they called the break.

I was in fifth grade and the teacher told us while we were planning our armual party that we were no longer "allowed" to call it Christmas break.

I thought nothing of it until she also told us that our party couldn't be called the "Christmas Party" anymore.

To a flfth grader, that was a very traumatic incident!

While I do realize that there is a group of people who don't celebrate Christmas, I think while people are trying hard not to offend others with their words, they are killing some of the happiness and warmth that is usually associated with the holiday.

Let's try to keep this holiday from goin_g the route of many of the other holidays in the U.S. It should not only be an excuse to take off of work and go to waterbed sales or try to get "the lowest price of the year" at the local appliance store.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, I feel compelled to reply to the McFarland's response to their activities as published in your Nov 19 issue.

The salient facts of the issue: Spring 1992, Teri McFarland signed an hourly contract to teach a Thursday night volleyball class. She was notified and paid monthly for this overload teaching assignment, but in fact her husband, Duncan, taught the class. Spring 1993, Teri McFarland signed two hourly contracts to teach Tuesday and Thursday night volleyball classes. She was notified by the district and paid monthly for these monthly classes. Duncan McFarland has known for years that he cannot teach any classes in the spring semester due to his volleyball coaching assignment.

Teri and Duncan, quit blaming everyone else for your pitiful actions. Take personal responsibility for your unprofessional conduct.

'Deadbolt' secures lock on fright Non-mainstream group uses ~'voodoobility' to fill up clubs

By TuAn Sotelo

Contributing Writer The black clothes, the eerie sound and the meaningful, often trippy, lyrics all join forces to form San Diego's very own Deadbolt.

I decided one day, after hanging out with a couple of guys from the band for a while, a review of Deadbolt was in order. They have got to be one of the most interesting bands I have ever gotten a chance to spend time with.

It was the bright idea of Harley Davidson (yes, that is his real name)

'We're just all three weird guys who do weird things on stage and in real life.'

Harley Davidson, leader of Deadbolt to bring his roommates R.A. Maclean and Les Vegas together to form Deadbolt Davidson said, ''We got sick and tired of going to clubs and seeing our friends play, so we said, 'Let's start a band. We can do this."' ''We may not be any good," he added with a laugh and a cough, "but at least we' 11 have a lot of fun scaring people."

Maclean's reason for being in the band are a little different from Davidson's.

He explained, "Harley and Les got a gig to play at the Texas Tea

House and needed a vocalist and, basically, I was running low on cigarettes, so I said, 'OK, I'll do it for a pack of cigarettes.' Thus, Deadbolt was born."

I sat myself down and listened to their album "Shrunken Head" (Cargo/Headhunter Records) twice in a row and thought to myself, "This is weird." I had to know more.

I got my first opportunity to visit the Deadbolt house. Upon walking through the door, I came to the conclusion that these boys were Elvis fanatics since Elvis's image in various stages and forms were splattered all over the place.

"Believe it or not," Davidson said, "Those are all gifts from people."

The Elvis paraphernalia made me take a closer look at the occupants of the house. Lo and behold, both Maclean and Davidson, with their jet black hair, side burns and "ldss me quick" lips, held incredible resemblances to the King.

As for Vegas, sweet and shy Les Vegas? I would say Vegas bears a resemblance to Elvis in his debut as a blonde in "Kissing Cousins."

After I vocalized my observation, Harley said, "We get compared to everything from Elvis to Andrew Dice Clay. (Maclean) gets compared to Count Dracula" Their stage performances contribute a lot to the band's image for provoking fear. It's not rare to find the guys bleeding on stage during a show.

Deadbolt is often referred to as the scariest band in the world. Gee, I wonder why?

'Guns' butts head with popular duo

By John Conzemius

Staff Writer Two new CDs were released last week for the demented headbanger on your Christmas list.

In layman's terms, one sucks, t11e other kicks ass.

Fans of tlle animated MTV series will probably be disappointed witll "The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience."

For a duo so renowned for being able to differentiate between what is good and bad in the music industry, with this CD, the pair loses serious credibility.

At best, tlle songs on tlle album are mediocre, and most of them downright suck.

The bands featured on the album, including heavy metal acts Aerosmitll and Anthrax, and rap artists Sir Mix-a-Lot and RUN DMC have apparently chosen songs too lame to run on tlleir own albums and donated them to Beavis and Butt-Head.

For example, Nirvana's contribution, "I Hate Myself And Want To Die," is tlle same tired Seattle grunge rock they have been playing for the past two years.

The only redeeming factor remaining on this CD are tlle skits involving Beavis and Butt-Head, tlle best of which has Beavis "spanking tllemonkey" in tlle back of Anthrax's tour bus. Whoa!

Also worthwhile is Beavis and Butt-Head'sattemptatalovesong called "Come To Butt-Head." On it, Butt-Head croons: "Baby, if I like, gave you some money, huh huh huh, would you makeoutwithme?That'dbecool!"

In the Guns N' Roses fourth major release, ''The Spaghetti Incident," the band returns to its roots, namely late '70s hard core punk.

While this genre has been all but forgotten by the "I Hear Disco is Making a Comeback" Preservation Society, it is sWl the major source of inspiration for all great rock n' roll, and Guns N' Roses knows it.

Punk has always been about attitude, and Guns N' Roses conveys it perfectly on thecut"IDon't Care About You," by L.A. group Fear: "I seen an old man having a heart attack in Manhattan/ Well, he was dyin' while we was just lookin' at him/ Ain't he cute?/ I don't care about. you/ F-k you!"

One glaring exception to tlle punk format is the opening cut "Since I Don't Have You" by tlle '50s group tlle Skyliners.

This is one of those romantic songs real popular with the drivein- movie crowd of tlle late '50s.

Despite its inherent mediocrity, Guns N' Roses manages to do a respectable job covering it.

Dead bolt brings their brash style and reckless attitude to clubs all around San Diego County.

"I like the blood," said Vegas.

"It adds to the intensity of the show and the audience loves it. I would defmitely say our shows (from the performer's perspective) are, sometimes, better than sex."

"It'smoreofjustavisualshow," Maclean explained. "I can't just stand there and play; we move. We work the room."

Davidson had a simpler explanationfortheirreputationforfright "We're just weird. We're just all three weird guys who do weird things on stage and in real life."

One bizarre aspect of the band is the music style itself. Upon frrst listening, one's immediate thought is, "What the hell is this?."

"I've heard so many versions of

what Deadbolt is: The Cramps on downers, a dark and creepy Ventures, the Beach Boys meet Bauhaus," Maclean said. "I think it's what the listeners interpret it as. I just call it plain old voodoobility, for lack of a better term."

Because of their uncategorized style, Deadbolt tends to get booked with an interesting variety ofbands.

"We just really cross over," Davidson said. "We get booked with the hard-core punk bands to the altemati ve guys to every weird band that comes to town to Rocka-Billy.

"We've even played shows with guys in there who have long hair, and they enjoy the show, too," he said, "even when we tell them to

get haircuts."

Maclean doesn'tunderstand the hoopla behind the image thing.

"What image?" he asked. "The black clothes- that's nothing new and shocking. It's not like I go home and jump into a pastel shirt andsky-bluepants. I've been wearing basic black for years."

There is no denying that Maclean is capable of scaring the living daylights out of a person, with or without the black clothes.

They say that fear is the biggest turn on. After spending time with Deadbolt, I couldn't agree more.

If you should be short on plans for Christmas, Deadbolt will be playing at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on Christmas Day.

LIFESTYLE Oceanography students discover secrets of the sea in Dana Point harbor excursion

Trolling netted a variety of f'JSh for students to study.

This gold, rust and browncolored scorpion fish had to be thrown back because it is very poisonous.

By Christopher C. Holmes Open Forum Editor

For one day out of the semester, students in an oceanography class at Palomar College disembark from the restrictive confmes of the classroom and voyag out into the open sea.

During four hours aboard the Orange County Marine Institute research vessel Amore, with the wind in their faces and the sea swelling beneath their feet, students studied and analyzed a plethora of marine elements.

These ranged from the chemical content of sea water to the analysis of microscopic plankton that exists along the surface of the ocean.

"It' sa wonderful experience," said oceanography instructor Patricia Dean. "It is a culmination of many of the labs we do through the semester."

Dean added that the trip, which Palomar classes started participating in three years ago, is an invaluable experience for students.

"The boat provides a real oceanographic experience," Dean said. "The people at Dana Point are actively doing research at the same time we are on the boat."

As the boat was leaving the harbor, the students were provided with binoculars and were instructed to point out and identify different birds that were indigenous to the marine environment.

The crew said certain species had developed adaptations such as rounded beaks, spear beaks and webbed feet for swimming.

The students also performed a variety of different experiments to study the different aspects of oceanographic life.

Divided into groups of six, they were led through six separate stations that covered water chemistry, bottom life, navigation, plankton study, mud life and water visibility.

Most of the students were happy with the Student drops a squirming fJSh she was measuring to help determine what kind it is. experience.

"I enjoyed it; it was a great bands-on experience," said Michael 0' Leary.

Of special excitement was the bottom dweller study. Students actively assisted the crew in dropping the nets and retrieving the catch. Among the captured creatures were crabs, starfish, flatfish and the dangerous scorpion fish. "The flarfish with the two eyes on the same side was very interesting," Josette Frederick said.

One minor setback to the day was the choppy waters outside the harbor. Crew members were unable to retrieve mud from the bottom of the ocean, and many students experienced a slight amount of queasiness.

'The ocean is not always flat and calm and the instruments don't always work, but we have to work through it if you want to succeed.'

Patricia Dean, oceanography instructor This forced the crew to move the boat within the friendly confmes of the harbor.

"A lot of people have not been on a boat before," Dean said. "We try to warn them beforehand, but they don't always listen."

The weather did teach students how tough the life of an oceanographer really is.

"The ocean is not always flat and calm, and the instruments don't always work," Dean said, "but you have to work through it if you want to succeed."

Students observe poisonous and dangerous sea creatures, including crab and scorpion fish, behind glass.

COACH Continuedfrompage 16 speculation in recent months to replace former Aztec head coach Al Luginbill, but had reiterated numerous times his intentions to stay at Palomar College.

Craft leaves behind him a legacy, or dynasty, that will be difficult to top. In his 17 years at Palomar, 1 I years as head coach, Craft has been the driving force behind the team's potent offense.

In the last five years the Comets have won five straight bowl games and two national championships in three years.

Craft, a San Diego State graduate, played quarterback at the university when Tollner first coached theAztecsduringthe 1975-76season. Craft will surely employ similar aspects of the game he groomed and became known for at Palomar and in coaching circles upon his upon his arrival on Montezuma Mesa next year.

One other major factor behind the hiring of Craft will be the local talent recruiting shot in the arm the Aztecs have needed over the last few years.

Open Forum Editor SANFRANCISCO-Palomar' s football squad, on the toe of kicker Matt George, narrowly defeated San Francisco City College 27-25 in the San Francisco Bowl on Dec. 4. With the win, the Comets captured the national championship and capped a perfect 11 -0 season.

Yet with only a minute left to play, it seemed that the Comets' title hopes bad slipped away. On fourth down on the Comets' 46 Rams quarterback Eric Gray tossed a Hail Mary bomb that somehow found the hands of wideout Damian Harrel.

Harrel came down with the ball at the 10 and barrelled into the end zone to give San Francisco City a one- point lead with only a minute to play.

Palomar received a break when officials cited San Francisco with a 15- yard celebration penalty that forced the Rams to kick from the 20.

Comet receiver Andtreal Climon was able to move the ball to the fifty on the return and then Comet quarterback Tommy Luginbill, who bad been ineffective during most of the second half, went to work.

To say that George was put in a pressure situation is an understatement of the highest degree. With only 4 ticks left on the clock, the Comets down by 2 points ,and sitting on the Rams 4-yard line, Coach Tom Craft called on the All-American Freshman to kick the game winning field goal amidst a swirling wind and 3,600 screaming fans.

George, showing the poise of an NFL veteran, calmly jogged onto the field and sent the ball through the uprights to hand the Comets their second national championship in three years.

"I really didn'tfeel any pressure," said George,"I felt more pressure on the second one(field goal attempt)."

Asked if he bad thought about winning the game on a last-second field goal George replied, "All week, all my life.

COMET SOCCER STATE PLAYOFFS

Hello to playoffs means goodbye for Comets

By Kristian Pope

Sports Editor SANTABARBARA-Havingjust won a share of the Orange Empire Conference championship for the first time in 15 years at Palomar, the Comet men's soccer team went north for the state playoffs against host Santa Barbara City College.

Like winning the conference title, the trip to the playoffs was also new to the Comets, this their first trip to the "big dance" in eight seasons.

After the Comets (12-8-1) surged to take a one goal lead in the first half, the bounces and calls just didn't go their way as the Gauchos (16-0-1) scored four unanswered goals to beat the Comets 4-1 in the first round of the state playoffs.

But even though the season ended quicker than they would have wanted, Comet bead coach Ron Riccitelli was proud of his team's accomplishments.

"We accomplished a lot of goals," said

At press time all indications were that former Comet and professional football playerThom Kaumyer will succeed Craft as head coach of the Palomar football program.

Kaumyer, a Palomar graduate in 1985, brings to the table NFL experience and a keen familiarity with Palomar in terms of the student athletes and, more importantly, the direction the Comet football program will take in years to come. Kaumyer, 28, spent all of this year as the Comet's receivers coach.
