Students promote GMC through Rolling '20s Jasmine Jurling Staff Writer

Charlie Chaplin (portrayed by Steve Troop, right) and a rich travelor (Erik Przytulski) fight over a cane in a skit performed at Wednesday's "Rolling '20s" promotion for General Motors vehicles.

Many students travelled to the 1920s era during Wednesday' s "Rolling 20s Club" held by the Clock Tower.

The event, which was sponsored by General Motors Corporation andJ im Finney GMC in Carlsbad, was the result of almost a semester of work by 17 Palomar students.

The students are enrolled in the General Motors marketing internship program here on campus. The class is designed to give the students a taste of the "real" marketing world and help General Motors gain visibility and knowledge about the important and elusive college market. Under the internship guidelines, the students who call themselves Momentum Promotions, are required to research, design, present, execute, and evaluate a unique promotion for GMC trucks.

Starting with only a $2,500 budget they were able to obtain more than $70,000 worth of donations.

The event was styled after the clubs of the '20s. Greg Armstrong who was one of the students organizing the event said,"! wanted to create the feeling of being at Magic Mountain. You can hear and feel the roller coaster, but you can't see it. That's why our facade resembled the back entrance through a dark alley into a speakeasy during the prohibition era."

Party goers were invited to play games ranging from ball tossing into glasses to carrying water around on a spoon. Another game had guests searching for secret words in GM cars and trucks. They played other games to earn "Finny Bucks" to get a spin on the prize wheel.

Prop. 187 protest organizers say media distorted events • Telescope issue with Prop. 187 story gets trashed Daniel Kwan Co-Editor-in-Chief

In taking aim at the media, Movimiento Estudiante Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) members who organized the Proposition 187 debate and protest march Nov. 2 held a press conference two days after the events to clarify points and say that the local press overplayed the violence.

Organizers considered the oncampus debate and protest march from Palomar to San Marcos City Hall to Cal State San Marcos to be successful and peaceful , according to MEChA President Sean O' Shea.

At the press conference, MEChA members claimed The Telescope

and Times Advocate were among the local newspapers to exaggerate the violence in the events.

OnthenightofNov. ?,custodian worker Mike Leger witnessed a person throw away bundles of the Nov. 4 Telescope, which featured front page coverage of the debate and march, into a trash bin in the Student Union.

Night Custodial Supervisor Roy Vick said he inspected most of the Telescope racks that night and said all the racks were empty.

"The Telescope does not believe thatMEChA was behind the throwing away of about 75 percent of our papers for that week," said Telescope Co-Editor-in-Chief Francis Crowley. "But, we have heard from

two MEChA members who said some people may act individually and trash the newspaper."

Beside the two incidents of stu dent David Phillips being beaten in front of City Hall for grabbing an American flag away from protestor Samantha Ewing who doused the flag with lighter fluid, and student Claudia Busio being struck by a truck, 0' Shea said any acts of violence were few.

"What all the newspapers failed to report is that MEChA appointed about 20 people for crowd control," said Jesse Arroyo, who served as co-chief of security for the events.

ROLLING '205: Continued from Page 1 Of the estimated 2,500 to 3,000 guests about 100 were in costume.

Some costumes at the party included flappers, gangsters, and several Charlie Chaplins.

Full Circle and Liquid Groove were the two bands that performed alternative style music at the event.

The "club" also featured two Charlie Chaplin sketches. Thescenesclosely resembled thestyleofChaplin movies. Steve Troop the actor playing Chaplin really enjoyed the party,"Even with all the problems

they faced; the weather, the sound system, the delays, the hard work put into the project paid off."

The show also included a biplane fly by. Despite promises of gum falling from the plane, none arrived.

Grand prizes at the event included a trip to Laughlin, Nevada, a cellular phone from Air Touch Cellular, two lift tickets to the Kirkwood Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, and a night on the town including dinner, theatre, and limousine.

COVERAGE: Continued from Page 1 Arroyo added that it wasMEChA security who shielded Phillips from protestors before sherrif deputies arrived. Phillips said that although he was beaten in the chest and face, it was a sherrifs deputy and a MEChA member who came to his aid.

Phillips said it didn't take long for him to decide to act. ''There was no specific reason, but I couldn't let it happen-Ijust acted," he said.

Phillips, however, does not support Prop. 187. "It's wrong to punishchildrenfortheactionsofadults," he added.

Hehasrecentlybecomeaspokesman for an organization trying to create a constitutional arnmendment to protect the American flag. According to Phillips, the ammendment would be punish flag burners similarily to anyone who defaces a national monument While Phillips remains in the spotlight through interviews with CNN and local newspapers, Ewing said she was upset that few media groups have contacted her to obtain her point of view. Ewing said she felt her rights were violated when Phillips grabbed her flag. "I have the right to burn the American flag," said Ewing. "He's being called Mr. Patriotic while I'm looking like the bad guy."

As for the other major incident, O'Shea said, "The motor-vehicle

collision may have been avoided had public officials provided an escort that we had requested."

He added that the group obtained a permit to protest on San Marcos City Hall grounds with a $250 fee being waived. Read a letter from the City of San Marcos, O'Shea said, "The procession portion of the permit is denied due to the limited resources available to assist with traffic safety."

Adriana Lemus, vice-president ofMEChA, said the truck which hit Bucio made a complete stop at a green light at the intersection of Vineyard and Mission Avenue, but the driver proceeded to swerve past a MEChA crossing guard before hitting Bucio and a few other marchers.

Bucio was initially reported to have suffered from minor injuries, but the extent of her injuries will be known after receives further exarnination, Bucio said.

Margaret Mitchell, engineering major, who attended the press conference and observed the debate and march, disagreed with those who say the violence was limited to two incidents.

"I'm sure that most of the protestors acted peacefully, but, over all, it was pretty violent from what I saw," said Mitchell.

"I was personally harrassed by people shouting obsenities to me in English and Spanish and there were people throwing rocks among other things."

COURT ORDER: Continued from Page 1 Before the 187 law, undocumented students were allowed to take courses for credit at community colleges or the University of California but were required to pay non-resident tuition.

Undocumented students in the California State University system paid in-state tuition.

Dr. George Boggs, Palomar's president/superintendenthas sent an official notice to all Palomar staff explaining the state's current stance on Prop. 187.

"The intent of the law [Prop.

187] conflicts between the federal law and the state law," Boggs said.

Although he does not support Prop. 187, Boggs believes it will be up to the United States Supreme Court to judge the fate of the proposition, a legal battle that can take up to two or three years.

"Immigrants come here because there are jobs here," Boggs said.

"The control should be based on the source. Denying them services wou1d be asking for trouble."

Religious leaders and city officials across the state urged residents to remain calm and to continue sending their children to school despite political conflict.

Herman Lee, director of enrollment services at Palomar says Prop. 187 is ill-defined and that the document term "illegal" could fall into 15 different kinds of visas.

"Prop. 187 is very misleading," Lee said. "Does that mean certain kinds of visas or no papers whatsoever? People in the community do not know this.

There are work-related visas, student visas agricultural visas and employment visas."

According to the San Francisco court order, the University of California and the California State University along with community colleges have stipulated that the st~tus quo that existed prior to the enactment of Prop 187 will be maintained pending a hearing on a preliminary injunction to take place Nov. 29.

Incumbents re-elected to Governing Board Kate Nelson Campus Beat Editor

While voters performed some political housecleaning at the federal level, the Palomar Governing Board remains unchanged. Dr. Robert Dougherty, Jr. and Harold Scofield have each been reelected to four year terms.

Dougherty placed first, with 25 percent of the vote and Scofield was second with 22 percent. Darrell McMullen placed third, with 18 percent of the vote. Jon Landen received 13 percent; Robert Roseen, 11 percent; John Bragg, 8 percent and Reginald Owens, 3 percent.

Dr. Robert Dougherty Dougherty, who has served on the Board by filling a vacant seat since 1983, said one of his primary goals as a board member is to improve education by having counselors, teachers and staff work together.

"Can't we weave all these components together into a fabric?"

Dougherty said. Healsosaidthathe would like to "model Palomar after other successful colleges so it will be easier for students to receive a good education."

Oneofhis examples for a school to emulate is Morehouse College, in Atlanta.

"Most of Morehouse's students are poor, so the college fmds jobs for them," Dougherty said. "Some students are given jobs as lab assistants and are allowed to stay in school." He said he thinks some of these ideas might work at Palomar.

He also mentioned the idea of mandatory study groups for students.

He said he would like to "model Palomar after other successful colleges so it will be easier for students to receive a good education. " -Dr. Robert Dougherty, Jr. Re-elected Governing Board member

"I look at education differently (than the instructors). I haven't come up through the system. I don't have a certain way of thinking."

- Harold Scofield Re-elected Governing Board member Planning to ask the state legislature to reduce tuition, Dougherty said that only one-third of needy students receive money to attend college, so many students can't afford to go to school.

"We're one of the best colleges in the state; we need to help our students," he said.

At a forum held forB oard candidates Nov. 2, Dougherty said he wanted to increase the number of minority instructors to a reasonable ratio to the students. He said there are now twice as many Native American instructors as students.

"Now we need to do that with the blacks and Hispanics," he said.

Harold Scofield Scofield said his main goal as a board member is to open an education center in Poway, "the other part of the district" He said that he has a place in mind for the center, an industrial park, and it's only a matter of buying the property and reno-

vating il The park, which Scofield describes as campus-like, could be operating as an education center in a year, he said.

Scofield was pleased that Palomar had bought the Escondido Center, which was one of his goals this last year. He said he thinks buyingthecenterwasasmartfinancial move for the college. "(Buying the Escondido Center) locks in our costs so they don't skyrocket in the future," Scofield said. "Plus, the center is an added assetto the college's balance sheet."

Scofield said that since he is not affiliated with the instructors, be will add a different perspective to the board.

"I look at education differently (than the instructors)," he said. "I haven't come up through the system, I don't have a certain way of thinking."

Scofield, who is president of R and D Machines, has served on the Board for four years.

Third consecutive ASG meeting cancelled due to lack of quorum • Positions open for senators, VP of social affairs Jeff Vize Staff Writer

Continuing a trend that student government adviser Jim Bowen called disappointing, the weekly Associated Student Government meeting was canceled for the third week in a row due to lack of quorum.

According to ASG President Merril Tyler, the multiple absences of ASG members have come for varying reasons. Although some officers have been absent consecutive weeks, Tyler emphasizes that many of the incidences have been excused.

"The first two weeks were [excusable] because of illness. Then, thisweekandlast., we'vehadpeople out on committee meetings and then maybe one person doesn't show, so wedon'thavequorum," said Tyler.

For these reasons, Treasurer Sharon Hubbard says that the blame should not be placed squarely on the ASG itself.

"It's not entirely our fault. Tell the students they need to get involved,"saidHubbard, whoencour-

aged anyone interested in government to apply for the ASG in SU-7 or SU-21. There are positions open for vice-president of social affairs and four senators.

Tyler, too, places the blame more on the student body's lack of interest in the ASG, rather than the actual officers' lack of interest. Despite believing this, Tyler said that there has been some apathy on the part of some members.

"Matt (McNamara) called me at home and said, 'Oh, is there going to be a meeting today?

Maybe I' II show up.'" said Tyler of the vice-president of state affairs, who was absent for the Nov.16meeting. "We only have 10 members on ASG. If three people here, there's no quorum," said Tyler referring to ASG bylaw that requires eight people for a meeting.

In hopes of solving the problem of low turnout, Tyler has decided, pending an ASG vote, to temporarily suspend the ASG bylaw requiring prospective officers to obtain student signa-

tures. His hope is that the government can fill some of the five vacant seats by simplifying the application process.

"Next week, I'm going to suspend the 200 signature rule and if we get people to come in here with a biography, we'll read it, and we'll vote [them in]," said Tyler.

Advisor Jim Bowen said that he backs Tyler in the efforts to increase the numbers on ASG, but is not happy about large number of vacancies.

"I'm extremely disappointed [with the turnout]," said Bowen. "but I believe it's up to the government itself to go out and recruit students ... we'll have to see a little bit of individual effort now."

The five current vacancies are left over, in part, from past years which haven't been filled in recent elections. The two most current openings are due to the October resignations of former VP of Social Affairs Kelly Lupro and Senator Nathan Garcia.

Teachers, staff unhappy with P-building remodel • Leaks and architectural problems make rooms less than what had been expected Wendy Crafts Staff writer

Following six years of planning and eight months of renovation, teachers who use P-32 now say it is less functional and more troublesome than before the remodel began.

"This is the continuing sagaofP32," said Associate Professor of Communications, Richard Peacock pointing to two garbage pails used to collect rain water, Nov.10. ''The rain, unfortunately is dripping directly on the electrical panel for the electronic equipment," he said.

Peacock, who heads the school's cinema program, says that the room falls far short of the state-of-the-art facility he thought it was intended to be.

He explained that in teaching film classes, part of the cinematic experience is being immersed in the presentation. He said one reason achieving this affect isn't possible is because of the smaller screen size in the renovated classroom.

"Image size does make a difference," Peacock noted.

Peacock has other concerns about the room as well. He says that the walls were poorly .constructed and that the seams don't join together properly.

"It looks like some guy did it in his garage," he said.

Peacock is not alone in his criticisms of the renovated room. According to Janet Parrish-McCann, who uses the room as an assistant to the humanities classes Monday through Friday at 11 a.m., "P-32 is pretty the way they've fixed it all up, but the thing is, it's not very functional."

She explained that after the remodel there were problems with the position of the slide projector, saying the projection used to shine on the students heads. Consequently, · the instructors have had to put the projector on a table so that the line of sight would be correct. "You would think these sort of things would've been thought through," she said.

Dean of Arts and Languages, Gene Jackson, says that a new cabinet has been built in back and that two new 35 millimeter projectors are on the way, which will solve the problem.

According to several teachers, another problem with P-32 was the

classroom's whiteboard, or "skyhigh whiteboard," as ParrishMcCann describes it. She said that they had to use a temporary platform for the instructors to reach the board.

According to Jackson, this problem has been corrected by lowering the white boards about a foot.

Brandon DeArakel, an architect for LPA, the architects on the renovation, says that the whiteboard was originally placed high in order to cover the rear projection screen.

But for teachers, "It was just an architectural mistake," said Director of Facilities, Mike Ellis.

Both Peacock and ParrishMcCann say that they feel the renovation of P-32 should have been thought out better. Jackson responded by saying, "Hindsight's 2020." He also pointed out that at this moment, no one is using the room for what it was designed for, which is a multimedia computer accessible room. He added that not until next semester will the room be used for this purpose.

Prior to the renovation, which began in January , a Sony video projection system was being used in P-32. The system was replaced with one that projects an image onethird the size of the previous Sony system, according to Peacock.

"Perhaps the solution ofkeeping the Sony system was just too simple.

To me, the mental set that I was up against was a classic example of form overriding function," Peacock said.

Jackson says that the Sony system was at least 10 years old and didn't have computer capability.

One of the necessary components of getting the state's approval on the renovation was updating the room to one capable of performing multimedia computer applications, according to Jackson. "We put the very biggest screen in that we could, given the configuration of the room," Jackson says.

Numerous meetings were held with the teachers in order to get their input on the renovation, according to Jackson and Ellis. Jackson says that he realizes that the teachers want the best possible teaching facility and says that he feels that the school should do everything they can to give it to them.

However, Ellis explains that some requests could not be taken into consideration because of cur-

Room P-32, lecture/auditorium with seating for 140, after the renovations. The $12 million remodel has been a disapointmentto the teachers who are using the class room for instructions.

The room was designed with state of the art multimedia computer applications. rent building codes. "Just because an instructor wants this thing this way, thecurrentcodesrnayprohibit that," he says.

The project had to be approved by the State Approval System, and consequently, making any changes to the project after it is approved is nearly impossible. "Once the state approves the scope and concept, you can't change it," Ellis says.

"What somebody wanted four years ago, they get today," he explains.

Patricia Moyer, manager of Educational Television, which shares the P building, said that the building is currently three months behind on scheduled completion. "Mostly there is finishing work to be completed, but there is also a problem with the floor," Moyer explained.

ETV, which serves 1,100to 1,300 students in the TV college program, is looking forward to getting back to full production capabilities, said Moyer. ETV additionally produces projects for outside agencies such as San Marcos schools and SanDiego State University.

Despite the problems, Moyer said she is pleased with the fact the $1.2

remodel has provided ETV with an actual designed television studio after 20 years of being in a makeshift studio.

Aside from construction problems, Moyer explained that the remodel is superior to the old building in areas of acoustics and comfort.

The air conditioning is now quiet enough to run while they are videotaping. The old system prohibited running the air conditioning while taping because of the noise it made, she said.

Moyer said some of the present problems seemed to be with communications between the college and the architect. The rooms within the building are smaller than what had been shown on the floor plan two years previous when the college approved plans for renovation.

"Currently, rooms are one-to-two feet smaller than what was expected," Moyer said. "The master control broadcast room was supposed to be for two people, but only fits one person. It should have capabilities for two people," Moyer said.

"Itdoesn' t meet the American's with Disabilities guidelines, which we

need to address in order to be accessible to everyone," she added.

She further explained that because the state didn't provide $940,000 offunding fornew equipment, some of the large, 20-yearold equipment may be adding to the problem.

Moyer said thatETV has been in discussions with the architects and contractors. "The contractors have been really responsive," she said.

In reference to the completed of Room P-32, Architect Brandon DeArakel says that he feels that on the whole, it is a vast improvement over the "cave" he says it used to be.

Jackson says that overall, he is pleased with the renovation of P32. "I think it's going to be a very productive room, it's going to be widely used, and offer us some capabilities that don't exist anyplace else on campus."

Peacock disagrees. "There was some shoddy thinking that went into the design of this room, and there was some shoddy execution of that system." He adds, "It's making my job less satisfying."

In attempting to get the National Voting Rights Act (NVRA) into Congress, the Associated Student Government has allocated up to $150 to make copies of petitions and send completed ones to organizers of NVRA in Washington, D.C. The ASG has distributed copies of the petition to all teachers, asking them to have students sign the petition, according to ASG President Merrill Tyler. · This process has allowed students wishing to support the legislation to sign petitions in class. Petitions are also available in the ASG office. Although Tyler has said that the initial response of about 2,000 signatures is not as large as he had hoped, but the ASG is not discouraged.

ASG Vice PresidentofStateMfairs Matthew McNamara traveled to Washington, D.C.last month to take part in the National Student Conference for Register Once.

At the conference, California Student Association of Community Colleges (CalSACC) President Paul Mitchell of Orange Coast College announced the legislation, which is designed to simplify the voting process for college students.

The NVRA, which needs 1.5 million petition signatures nationwide, is made up of four components.

First, it would mandate the placement of polling locations on every publicly funded college campus

"College students represent over 12 million people in the U.S. right now. They should have better access to voting, " --Matthew McNamara, Vice President of State Affairs with more than 20 students.

Next, it would require the distribution of voter registration applications and absentee ballots to every student through either class registration or fee payments each semester.

Third, it would create a centralized polling location on each campus which would allow students to vote by absentee ballot.

Finally, the NVRA would set collection points for absentee ballots on campuses.

For decades students have remained outside the political process ... ," said Mitchell. "If [the NVRA] passes, these barriers will be removed, increasing opportunity for seven million new voters in the 1996 presidential election."

Palomar' sMcNamaraalso backs the initiative. "The students are a special interest group, [like] the handicapped. They have special laws for those people. College students represent over 12 million people in the U.S. right now. They should have better access to voting," said McNamara.

According to Mitchell, the idea has received strong student backing

throughout California but is opposed by the government.

"The legislation for the California Student Voting Rights Act has made it to Governor Wilson's desk for the past two years, only to be vetoed," said Mitchell.

McNamara added, "The registrar of voters and public officials are totally against this. In a lot of districts across this country, the colleges represent the majority of population. We could, just by being a voting block, place university students on city councils and as mayors orregistrars of voters," he added.

An example is Washington State University, a campus of 42,000 people. The city that they're in has a population of 3,000. When schools in session they are the city," said McNamara.

While the National Voting Rights Act is designed as a student initiative, McNamara said he hopes it will have a domino effect to create something larger.

We guarantee that once we get this into Congress, someone is going to say 'I've got problems in my districts with people getting to polls. Why can't we get ballots for them?"' said McNamara."

The point of the NVRA is that we need reform in voting rights.

The system works ... barely," he added. The ultimate goal, according to McNamara, is easy access for everyone. "One of the recommendations is to just mail everyone a scantron ballot. There will be very few errors there and everyone will have complete access to vote."

In a cost saving move, Palomar college has purchased the shopping center containing the Escondido education center. Purchase of the Escondido center, including all stores was completed on Tuesday for $5.6 million.

Palomar had been renting approximately 55,000 square feet in the shopping center since May 1990.

Located at the comer of Midway Drive and E. Valley Parkway with a lease that would have expired in 2001. Except for the Wells Fargo bank the college has purchased all

the property and parking lots on the corner, a total of83,597 square feet.

Bryant Guy, special projects manager for Purchasing and Contracts said the now defunct lease called for rent of $480 thousand per year with a 4 percent increase every year.

Now Palomar has to pay $580, 000 in annual mortgage to pay back the loan, Guy explained.

Store rentals in the center will bring a revenue of about $150,000.

Part of that revenue will go to maintenance leaving $60,000 to be put towards the mortgage making a balance of $470,000 to be paid by Palomar.

"We'll be paying about $10,000 less than what is already in the budget for rent this year and even less without the annual 4 percent increase," said Guy. "It's not so much saving as containing costs. By purchasing the property we are stabilizing the amount we pay out and avoiding the eventual4% annual increase," said Guy, who finalized the contract with property owner Alberto Michan.

"These are tough times in California so every dollar counts," said William Flynn, Dean of Media, Business and Community Services.

"There are spaces there we can rent out to make revenue or change them into classrooms as we need them," he added.

Flynn said that Palomar originally rented the space in the Escondido center to solve the growth at the San Marcos campus.and offer daytime classes which the other Palomar centers couldn't offer.

"Nobody really knew when we first opened the doors in Escondido that 2,000 students would walk in," said Flynn. "It's amazing how much educational demand there is in that part of the district."

"It was like a field of dreams you build it, and they will come," Guy said.

The Director of the Escondido Education Center, Jim Clayton agreed that the Escondido campus has grown immensely.

"This year 5,800 students are enrolled which is larger than many community colleges," Clayton said.

"We now have General Ed requirements for the Police Academy, Fire Fighting Academy as well as Art and Physical Education.

Speech team wins honors at Biola Invitational Jeremy Lynch Staff Writer

Palomar's speech team won the first place sweepstakes award at the Biola Fall Invitational, October2122.

The victory marked the second major championship of the season for the Comet speakers. The team won 17 major awards competing against over 25 major colleges and universities from Texas, Utah, Arizona, and California The young team has even surprised head coach Ray Dahlin. "It's amazing what we're accomplishing considering there is only one person returning from last year," Dahlin said.

Dahlin went on to say that the success shown by winning two sweepstakes championship awards

against 75 major universities will build each speakers hope for a full scholarship after they leave Palomar.

Jason Whitton led Palomar by placing in the top three in three categories. Whitton took second in prose, third in poetry, as well as second in dramatic-duo. Teaming up with Whitton for the dramaticduo was Tim Scott. Scott further helped the Comets by placing ftrst in prose.

Persuasive speaking was Palomar's strength in terms of depth.

The Comets earned three of the top four places including Jennifer Blesi (first), Theron Ventura (third), and Troy Anderson (fourth).

Other contributors to the victory included Kelly Bellini (flrst in dramatic), Paul Ryker (fifth in dramatic), Cal Bellini (first in impromptu), Christy Houde (third in

communications analysis), Heidi Franz (fourth in after-dinner speaking), and TaffLewis (sixth in informative).

The success has given coach Dahlin high expectations for the team, with him ranking his Palomar speakers in the top flve percent of all junior colleges in the nation.

The speech team is always looking for new members, and according to Dahlin the only qualifications needed to join the team are to walk in the door and introduce yourself.

The team practices approximately 10 lab hours a week, and depending on the funding available competes 10-15 times a year from September to May. Anyone interested in finding out more information regarding the speech team, contact Ray Dahlin at 744-1150, ext. 2406.

Is the GOP right for

America~

• America's back on the right track

• Republicans are the root of all evil

Stephen Rubin

Kelley Brewer

Staff Writer

Opinion Editor

Liberals are running for cover after America overwhelmingly voted to condemn the leftward swing made by the Clinton Administration.

Voters voted against outrageous tax hikes, wasteful spending, and a socialisthealth care system among other tenants of the leftist faith.

The fact is, the Democrats have not found a tax or entitlement not worth increasing or a segment of the private sector unworthy of big-brother meddling.

The party to reverse the direction of the nation these past few years is the Republican Partyobviously the party of choice for America.

Conservatives embrace the beliefs oflower taxes to stimulate investment, free trade, private enterprise, family, and most of all selfreliance.

These are the keys to freeing America from entering the Western European abyss of socialist paternalism that Clinton wants to steer the U.S. towards.

Bob Dole, Newt Gingrich, and the rest of the moderate right-wing faithful now hold the responsibility of acting upon the desires stemming from the results of the Nov. 8 elections.

The "Contract With America," penned by Gingrich, is the conservative mission statement to Clinton and the nation calling for lower taxes, deregulating private business, and cuts in bloated government personnel.

It will not be easy for the Republicans to realize any of the aforementioned goals, but the real point of the so-called "contract" is to see if Clinton will have the nerve to veto any conservative-leaning bills that come by his desk.

The GOP aims to turn the "obstructive gridlock" against Clinton and the Democratic sharks, who previously pinned the blame of gridlock, against their adversaries.

Clinton has no choice whatsoever but to move back to the center and work with the majority to pass tougher welfare reform and limited health care legislation.Clinton' smove will no doubt alienate Clinton's liberal democrat base, but that base cannot re-elect Clinton on its own.

Clinton better strike a "New New Democrat'' pose again pretty soon because the party best adept at solving this nation's ills is not his, but rather the voice of the American mainstream- as was heard on election day in the form of an overwhelming GOP victory.

The Republicans are coming! The Republicans are coming! Since the GOP won a majority in both houses of Congress, their monumental victory at almost every level of government across the country promises to bring a rapid right turn in government legislative policy.

The kind of legislation that perpetuates intolerance with homophobic and anti-women's rights attitudes, in addition to the pro-business/ anti-environmental regulation stance typical among Republicans.

Americans can expect legislation that decreases funding for social programs, increases military spending, reduces federally funded programs aimed at helping the disadvantaged, the reinstitution of "voluntary" school prayer, as well as welfare reform which creates orphanages for children of mothers who can't fmd work.

At the top of the new GOP agenda is the balanced budget amendment that Newt Gingrich has promised to bring to a vote by mid-January. The concept of a balanced budget is not as simple as it might sound.

Sixty-two percent of the federal budget is comprised of uncontrollable and "untouchable" expenditures such as interest payments on the deficit and entitlements (social security, military pensions, Medicare, Medicaid.)

That leaves approximately $450 billion from which $150 billion must be cut to balance the budget The question is how specifically will the budget be balanced? Which programs will be cut? What reductions will be made?

The public memory is said to be extremely short and this election proves it... How quickly we forget that the Republican activity during the 1980's increased homelessness by reducing housing and urban development funding.

Deregulation of the banking industry is another famous Republican idea which led to the Savings and Loan scandal that continues to cost Americans billions. Let's not forget that overinflated Republican military project "Star Wars" which received millions in funding before it was recognized as infeasible.

The fact that the Republicans managed to more than quadruple the national debt during the 1980's while simultaneously wrecking havoc on federal social programs illustrates the effect of Republican governance and provides some insight into the direction that our newly empowered legislators want to take this country.

OPINION 9

Word to the Vize Jeff Vize

Commercials bite Once again, the impressionable, naive youth of America have been saved from their own rebellious self-destruction. In case you missed it, the newest saviors are the infamous "anticommercial people." The same people who have, for years, been systematically disqualifying the United States from the International Commercial Competition by taking our best ads off the air. Today, the trend continues.

The latest victim of their Puritan rage is a Nintendo commercial, carrying the slogan "hawk a loogey at life." The claim is that an ad with such a negative ring inspires rebellion and a downright sinful outlook on life. "Get this crap off the air before my kids start doing drugs!" cry the editorials.

Strong evidence to support their point can be found in the case of 11-year-old Robert Sandifer, who was murdered this September in Chicago. Sandifer, whose story was chronicled

by Time, was killed in a gang-related act of retaliation. Early evidence suggests that Sandifer regularly played Nintendo and had seen their commercial prior to his crime.

I guess they're suggesting that the human condition is in such despair that we resort to imitating our favorite commercials. But now that they mention it, I couldn' tagree with them more. In fact, who's to say that we aren't what we are today entifely because of the commercials we watch. You can't tell me that you haven't based your philosophy of life around the owl's wise words in the famous Tootsie Roll commercial of the '70's. Your only reason for waking was probably to see the next installment of the "to be continued" Lucky Charms ads.

Here's some that have made me who I am today; very likely targets to be taken off the air.

1. Zima's "Zomething in Common:" This one's pretty recent. It depicts several people, each of a different race, walking happily down the street with Zimas in hand. I guess if we can'tftx theracerelationsanyotherway in this country, we can all just get smashed.

2. The Mentos saga: Planet Earth would not be the same without those Hansel & Gretel looking Scandinavians that don't know how to talk. After watching this series of commercials, I've started to carry around a pack of Mentos so that whenever I do anything stupid, I just pull them out and say, "It's O.K., I have Mentos." Like my commercial idol, I, too, once tried to cross a crowded intersection by going through the back seat of a car. Unfortunately for me, the light turned green halfway and I ended up a lot farther than across the street 3. Every beer commercial: It's pretty sad when my friends act like ~e house pets in beer commercials. I guess they figure women will fall out of the sky when they slide bottles of beer off the edge of the counter. Go figure.

Assaults of religious imposition was grossly misplaced. The issue of creationism was brought up by an outside activist and placed on the agenda by outgoing Trustee Sandee Carter. Tyndall later asked a teacher's panel to consider the text "Pandas and People" for optional reading material to be placed in libraries. Tyndall's request was turned down but there was no cries of censorship from liberals.

Staff Editorial

Censorship is unAmerican ecently, it has come to our attention that several bundles oflast week's issue of the Telescope, featuring coverage of Palomar's Prop. 187 protest on the cover, have been found in the trash by campus janitorial staff.

While some might feel that it is permissible to throw out copies of the Telescope since it is free, we consider the trashing of our paper to be nothing less than censorship and theft.

The Telescope receives a large part of its funding from the Associated Student Government, an elected panel which represents the student body and which gets its money from bookstore profits and other student-funded programs. By destroying our paper, these vandals have wasted student funds.

But even more important than the

R

money is the time and effort that the staff puts into every issue. Time and effort that was tossed out amongst half-eaten lunches and old notebooks simply because someone couldn't deal with one of America's basic freedoms: the right to a free press.

As with any controversial topic, there is two sides and there are both a right way and a wrong way to express your point of view.

The way these vandals went about surpressing our right to free speech was totally out of line. They had no right to do what they did, and if caught, should face charges of theft.

What they should have done was address the issue in the proper forum--within the Telescope itself. The Telescope is an open forum, not only for the views of the staff, but for the students as well.

The proper way to intelligently disagree with what you see in print here is to respond

in print here. The Telescope welcomes all letters to the editor and even solicits opposing viewpoint editorials from non-staff writers.

The trashing of student newpapers by small groups of people who cannot deal with what a paper is printing is nothing new. It has happened at campuses all over the country, and, lately those responsible have been receiving heavy punishments.

At Penn State, two women who were found guilty of stealing 4,000 copies of the student newspaper Lionheaned had to pay $3,000 in restitution to the paper.

This should serve as a warning and a reminder that although we distribute the Telescope for free, it is the property of the studentsandshouldnotbemessed with by people without the guts to write their opinions on a piece of paper and submit them to us.

OPINION lO

Frankly -Speaking

Francis T. Crowley

Valuable lessons, at $13 a unit This semester being Co-Editor-in-Chief at The Telescope has been enlightening. I have received more lessons than I ever expected.

The staff of The Telescope has tried to provide alternative perspectives which we hoped would not be found in the mainstream )apers of North County. Some readers felt some of our editorials were too controversial.

I felt it was a broad presentation of ideas, which happens to be one of the goals of a institute of higher education.

The first controversial idea of the semester began with a Pro-Con debate on whether or not anti-abortion protestors had gone too far by murdering an abortion doctor.

I took on the challenge of presenting the side which advocated any type of force in order to stop the abortion.

My mistake was not thoroughly explaining that I was expressing the views of antiabortion protestors, and not necessarily my own perspective. Because my name was attached to the essay, people rightfully felt that my opinion aligned with those of various zealots who have called for violence towards abortion doctors.

Lesson well learned. I am responsible for my written words.

Another controversial matter which ran in The Telescope, also on the Opinion pages, was written by staff member Carla Mays, espousing her opinion about labeling people by their nationalities. This article resulted in many verbal complaints from some persons of African-American decent who disagreed with her opinion. After all, the purpose of an opinion page is to provide a voice for different perspectives.

Another lesson well learned.

In another incident, I was honored to have a friend and member of the school radio station KKSM drop an important investiga. uve story in my lap. The issue stemmed from one or more students complaining about an instructor's choice of words used during a lesson concerning American Indian women in the early 19th century. The instructor's statement of women and dogs being used as beasts of burden before the introduction of horses is a historically factual statement, but it was considered degrading by some students. The instructor was voluntarily responsible for his words as was the dean who became involved.

Each of these incidents have a common thread.

In the paper, in the editorials and news stories we have to place our names on the story. We, the authors, become responsible for our words and any actions caused by them.

The instructor who was accused of degrading statements, and the Deans who became involved were all publicly responsible for the words they spoke and the actions they caused.

But the instructor's accusers are not being held responsible for their words or actions.

Lesson; people who make claims using the invisible code of political correctness are not being responsible. They use a shroud of anonymity to protect themselves from their actions. This is political incorrectness.

In Palomar's case, the instructor assumed that the students would understand that his statements was a depiction of facts and not personal opinion.

I have learned the importance of being responsible for my own words. History instructor Hanlen has probably known responsibility for quite some time, as has Dean Pichon. Staff writer Carla Mays has learned the importance of her words. But there is one or more anonymous students who may not have learned that responsibility.

Letters to the Editor Anti-187 protestors went too far Although MEChA may feel there were only two unfortunate incidents at the Prop.

187 rally on November 2, and that the press overplayed the activities, I couldn't disagree more. MEChA organizers may have had good intentions at the beginning, but the results were the ultimate "biting the hand that feeds you," and in-your-face defiance of the very people who are providing all the bounty these ill-informed protesters are so happy to receive. Watching the raucous rabble parade by my office with their foreign flags waving, screaming their contempt for the country that has given them everything they have, (not to mention the desecration of the American flag for which my children's father fought in Vietnam) was a direct slap in my face, and it stung. Why would I ever want to continue subsidizing people who feel this way about me? No, the media correctly captured the tone of the rally; anti-American racism, defiance, ignorance and ingratitude.

Also, I want to express my profound admiration for and thanks to Palomar College student David Phillips for his courageous and correct actions in trying to prevent the burning the American flag at the rally. His father fought in Vietnam in defense of the flag, and David's actions have brought further honor to his father, as well as to himself.

Lani Fawcett-Murders Communications Dept Secretary Up until the other day when I witnessed the United States flag being burned by Hispanics marching against Prop. 187, I was against what this great state wanted to do with the children in public school. You could say I was going to vote no on 187.

After the demonstration march this past week, I quickly changed my no vote to a yes vote.

What kind of country are we living in where immigrants who are not U.S. citizens claim they have the same if not more rights on this soil than those who are U.S. citizens? If the Hispanics feel that Mexico is so great that they have to wave their flag andchant"VivaMexico"whileinAmerica, then how come they don't go back to Mexico and fight for change down there?

To my neighbors to the south, take a good long hard look at your actions. Understand that you are living in the United

States of America. If you were to burn another country's flag, chances are you would not be alive to tell about it. Gratefully, Americans are more civilized than that.

My father and my Grandfather risked their own lives to fight for democracy and the American way. Too bad some people don't understand. Respect is earned, and your actions the other day in San Marcos demonstrated that you have no respect for America.

So tell me why any U.S. citizen should take pity on you and vote no against 187?

The Comet Center shouldn't promote drinking General Motors marketing internship and several clubs put on a fantastic program Nov. 16 for the Rolling '20s event. I enjoyed the games, the cars, and the theme. A fun time for all.

The only regret that I have is that the Comet Center was promoting drinking of alcohol by giving free samples of Sharps beer and several different kinds of beers that are alcohol free. Whycouldn'ttheypromote Coke or Pepsi?

Even though this is a 2 percent alcohol beer, the policy of Palomar is to be an alcohol free campus, which means to give other ideas instead of alcohol related products. I don't believe the policy states that anything under 2 percent is allowed.

Gee, wasn'titjustlastyearwhenNightown nightclub was here just to play music, and wasn't it the same people (Comet Center) who said that we were promoting drinking by listening to music by a company that serves alcohol.

Perhaps the Comet Center needs to have a rude awakening about "promoting alcohol."

What would happen if a student were to leave campus and get into an accident and say that Palomar gave that person a drink.

Comet Center, please promote no drinking. Don't promote drinking non-alcohol drinks. Maybe the Comet Center could promote a new product on the market called "water."

Editors note: While it is true that "nonalcoholic" beer does contain some alcohol, the percentage of alcohol by volume is usually one halfof one percent, not two percent.

Save the birds I was very disappointed by the tone of your article "Rare Bird Delays New Parking Site" (Oct. 28). The title makes it sound as though a tiny songbird can stop a bulldozer. Pretty silly notion, eh? I am in wholehearted agreement with biology teacher Wayne Armstrong that the habitat surrounding our campus is our natural heritage. Palomar should be celebrating, enhancing and protecting the natural open spaces it has left, not obliterating them for new parking lots which can go over vacant asphalt, anywhere.

I challenge you to name one development project that did not go forward because of the listing of the California gnatcatcher as a threatened species. The gnatcatcher is not blocking the bulldozers, we are. It is on the brink of extinction because of our wasteful urban sprawl. I am angry, not because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is trying 'to preserve the gnatcatcher, but because they don't go far enough in preserving it. Sprawl malls, freeways and housing tracks are continually found to be of overriding importance to saving the bird, and permits to take its habitat are routinely granted.

The gnatcatcherprefers to build its tiny nest in mature, woody sage about three feet off the ground. Protecting its habitat saves a whole suite of other rare species including unusual reptiles, plants, insects and mammals. That is why, as we are about to take the last of its habitat, we are pausing to question (through the Endangered Species Act) if it is legal, moral, ethical or safe for our species to do so.

When bulldozers move, biological diversity is lost. Once habitat is removed from the ecosystem permanently by scraping off everything including the topsoil and paving it over it can never be recolonized.

The new parldng lot under the "P" mountain is a mass of asphalt reminiscent of the 1950's a total wasteland of car culture. All the island covered with phony cement cobblestones should be dug up and planted with scrub oaks, sycamores and other native trees and shrubs.

This would cool and clean the atmosphere and provide wildlife with stepping stones of cover to cross it and escape to new habitat. I fmd it shocking that such a highly ranked college, with such a renowned Earth Sciences Deparunent, would press forward with plans to destroy such rare plants and animals under its stewardship.

Paul Merrill wakes up in the morning, says goodbye to his wifeandfour-month-old baby, and rides the bus to Palomar and his job as a DJ atKKSM. He enters the studio and finds himself in familiar surroundings. With little trouble be effortlessly switches, swaps and manipulates the music of the station into a stream-lined presentation.

"If you're not tired after doing an air shift, then you've learned it," said Merrill.

Most people have a bard time creating a seamless sequence of music, on -air announcements and advertisements, but Merrill is not like most people.

Merrill has been blind since he was born 27 years ago. He bas corneal esclara, which creates under-developed eyes with uncontrollable movement.

"With a handicap like this- and I don't lookatitas much of a handicap, because there are people that are much worse off than I am- you make your own limitations," said Merrill. "You literally do, if you decide you are going to do nothing with yourself and sit back and sort of let life come and take care of you, then you're going to do just that."

"He shows everyone that there isn't a disability, and that we can learn from him about his 'handicap'," said KKSM General Manager and RTV-instructor Rob Branch.

Merrill said be doesn't think that special accomodations should be made for him at the radio station. It would be too time consuming, he admits, to put braille on all the carts that hold the music. He finds the number of the song be wants to play, then counts down the column until be finds the desired selection.

Merrill also uses a magnification unit that resembles a television set. By holding some papers up to his eyes, be can read program logs and text for advertisements.

He also pointed out that he dosn't believe in making a mess in the room so he puts everything back right where it belongs.

Before be presents advertisements, Merrill reads them on his magnification unit until he memorizes them. In a conversational tone he then recites the advertisements on the air . It might be the practice or maybe the technique, but Merrill delivers his lines in a light and friendly manner that is perfect for radio. Any

of the pros will tell you that you need to pretend that you are talking to your friend to sound good.

Merrill also demonstrates an innate ability to sense the ending of ads and songs, creating an air-tight procession of sound. This is more than mere button popping. It requires the full attention of the on-air personality.

Merrill explains that his musical tastes wander quite wide, but he has always liked lighter Top40 style tunes. He said that he has become partial to the alternative music that dominates KKSM and is even listening to some of it at home.

"I used to think that kind of music was mean, but I'm starting to like it more as I play it," said Merrill. He added, "some DJs make the mistake of becoming to involved with one style of music and end up having too actually play music they don't like."

The unpredictability of the radio field is something of which Merrill is wary. "You could be in work one minute and then the station's format changes and you'reoutofajob," he said.

"You'll never know what you could have done, if you get out there and give it your best then you' II doalotmore,"hesaid. "So it's really something, it really is."

A friend of Merrill's in San Diego, Bob Zacharias, inspired him and told him the realities of the business. "He was very intrumental in my growth and really a great guy, and I'm glad that be encouraged me to come along here," said Merrill.

"You just have to go with your own person that is going to encourage you to be the best you can be," said Merrill. "I guess I could throw the ADA Kate Nelson /Th~ Telncop~ [American Disabilities By counting carts where the music is stored, Merrill Act] up at the school and never worries about making the next song selection.

all that, but like anything else, all I bad to do was come in here and show them that I could do it."

Merrill understands that be is at a disadvantage, but that hasn't stopped him from entering the field and attempting to perfect his craft. "If I didn't have it down like I do, I guess I would worry," said Merrill.

He tries not to let his disablility hold him back, but there are always those with a more narrow scope of vision. "I've run into discrimination, and all you can do is present your best," said Merrill.

"That's what has kind of stopped me from going into a major radio station. But I have to remember, when I go into the broadcasting

field that the PD [program director] is going to listen tom y tape twice as bard as he's going toanyoneelse's. That's just the way itis ... and you're fooling yourself if you think different."

Merrill recently received the added responsibilities of being a father, and be admits that it bas cut into his free time. "When I first started (at KKSM), hanging out at the station was half the fun. Fatherhood defmitely has changed me. I got stuff to do."

Inspiration or not, Merrill plans to apply his can -do philosophy to everything that comes his way.

"I've given it my best shot and that's what's important."

'Star Trek: Generations' lacks universal audience appeal • Newest Star Trek movie unites both generations, but alienates non-trekkie audiences Steve Troop Staff Cartoonist

Only in "Star Trek: Generations" could two bald men meet in a place named ''The Nexus Ribbon."

In the latest installment of this popular movie series, CaptainJames T. Kirk (played by toupee-wearing William Shatner) and Captain JeanLuc Picard (played by chromedomedPatrick Stewart), fmally meet in void of space named after, of all things, a hair care product line.

"Star Trek: Generations" is different than the previous "Trek" movies. It features multiple storylines, intertwined but still separate, dazzling special effects and attempt to bridge the gap between "Classic Trek" and 'The Next Generation."

Paramount obviously tried to construct a movie that couldn't lose at the box office.

It has Shatner, James Dooban (Scotty) and Walter Koenig

{Cbekov), from the original series to draw in fans of the movies and 1960s series.

The film has the entire "Next Generation" cast including Jonathon Frakes (Riker), LeVar Burton (La Forge), Michael Dorn (Worf), Whoopi Goldberg (Guinan) and Brent Spiner (Data).

It has Malcolm McDowell as the insane Dr. Soran, a crazed scientist obsessed with making his way to the aforementioned Nexus Ribbon.

And, to top it all off, "Generations" has multiple storylines involving Data's emotions, the launching of the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC1701-B), Worf's promotion, Guinan's background, a crash landing and the death of three characters previously seen in other "Treks."

The above illustrates one point: too much is going on.

Hopefully, if you want to see this movie, you have atleast some working knowledge of the "Trek" universe. There are countless jokes and

asides that draw upon fans' obsession over the shows, the movies and the mythos.

This is great for the fans, but it does narrow the audience. No attempt is made to bring in new viewers. The characters pick up where they left off on the "Next Generation" series. Maybe the producers feel that everyone bas seen the show.

The movie relies on too many obscure references. In one of the fllm's many subplots, the android Data decides to install a basic emotion chip designed by his creator.

This chip was stolen by Data's evil

brother, Lore (also an android), during the third season of the tv show.

In the sixth season, Data obtained the chip after defeating and dismantling his brother. But alas, it was broken. Data hopes to fix the chip someday in the near future.

Hopefully, you've seen this back story in episodes of "TheNext Generation." The movie never explains where the chip came from.If you missed two episodes out of the almost 200 filmed, you're out ofluck.

This is a major fault in this fllm.

A fault that bas plagued the films since the 1970s.

In the first three ''Trek" films no attempts were made to draw in new viewers. Tbestudiowascontentwith the fans of the original shows. Why not? It turned a profit.

This all changed with "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" (the one with the whales). Up until this installment, each sequel made less money than its predecessor. But, due to its more universal appeal,

"Star Trek IV" made more money than earlier voyages of the Starship

"Enterprise." But why?

Paramount felt that "StarTrek' s" new-found marketability was due to its humor. This was part of it, but it goes deeper than that.

When science fiction presents ideas (save the whales) in an entertaining way (humor), to a built-in audience (the fans) that memorize and repeat "Star Trek'' quotes to anyone who'll listen (word of mouth) it has to be a hit.

Obviously, "Generations"' producers still haven't figured this out There's no message to the fllm.

There's no universal appeal. Sure, there's humor, but what good is if only part of the audience understands it? Unless they're ready to watch a lot of reruns, everyone else will be confused by it.

This is not to say that this is a bad fllm. It's definitely an excellent addition to the series. Butitjustcould have been better.

'Interview With the Vampire' delivers both powerful acting and a dark, haunting story â&#x20AC;˘ Director Neil Jordon brings one of Anne Rice's popular vampire novels to the silver screen Rochelle R. Samilin Copy Editor

Dank, dark and deliciously depressing, Director NeilJ ordan' s "Interview With the Vampire" proved to be an enjoyable two-hour pain in the neck.

Filmed on location in New Orleans, San Francisco, Paris and England's Pinewood Studios, the long-awaited film,starring Tom Cruise as the callous vampireLestat, finally deemed itself "fit" even for hard-core Anne Rice fans.

Controversy arose when author Anne Rice voiced objections after "Hollywood glam boy" Tom Cruise was cast as Lestat. Apparently Rice changed her mind after watching the preview and placed a big, whopping two-page ad praising Cruise and the supporting cast Despite the negative feedback regarding Cruise playing Lestat, Cruise unmercifully strutted his diverse acting ability as the cold and heartless bloodsucker.

According to Director Jordan, he thought Cruise was the kind of actor to take "very difficult roles, like the one in 'Born On the Fourth of July,' and not only make them successful, but unforgettable."

Indeed, Cruise played the role

MOVIE REVIEW Interview With the Vampire Rated R Starring Tom Cruise

***~ convincingly while demonstrating how to survive off humans to naive Louis, his blood-drinking partner.

OppositeCruiseisBradPitt, who stars as Louis, the rat-eating vampire with a heart of gold conscience.

Driven away spiritually and emotionally by the death of his beloved wife and child in his mortal life, Louis opts for an eternal life-a price he regrets having to pay.

Louis' exasperated pain is hauntingly expressed throughout the movie, from the killings of prostitutes to the death of his vampire daughter Claudia.

Together the two vampires with the help of Claudia (Kirsten Dunst) wreak havoc on any mortals who cross their path. Dunst is a stunning child actress who, in her role, cleverly tricks old folks with her innocence in order to satisfy her ravenous appetite for flesh.

Jordon was careful to display stages of Claudia's growing emotional maturity. She had the body of a child but contained the mind of a full-grown woman.

Christian Slater is the skeptic interviewer who fails to mention that the family of vampires is extremely dysfuncional, not the "one big happy family" that Lestatclaims it to be, and instead falls for the seductive life of Louis. Sadly replacing actor River Phoenix after his tragic death, Slater comfortably eases into the cynical role of the interviewer.

LikeBramStoker'sDracula, "Interview" was shot mostly in the dark with crews reporting at four in the afternoon and working until after sunrise the following day.

The film contained exploding action and drama (in the dark) when Pitt doused the Theatre des Vampires with gasoline and then has to fight off French vampire Santiago (Stephen Rea). Antonio Banderas is Armand, another enticing vampire who yearns for Louis' companionship.

Fiery flames and the illusion of flying bodies seem convincing enough except when Louis decapitates Santiago's body in half, which looks more like the insides of a

New play emphasizes the power of make-believe stories Peter Sansom Staff Writer

Whoooosh! "The Wind of a Thousand Tales," a family orientated play about the fun of make-believe, is going to be blowing through the Howard Bruebeck Theatre Dec.1-4.

Written by John Glore, the play chronicles three stories told to a child, Kimberely-Kay, whodoesn'tappreciate the power of make-believe stories. The child, played by Annette Homewood, starts the performance thinking that stories are a useless waste of time, but by the end she has a much different view.

Kimberely is visited by breezes that tell her these stories-from Mexico, Japan and Europe-to show her the value of imagination. Each story is surrounded by its own cultural aura that further enhances the characters as they act out their various tales.

year, $75 million contract.

We here at the Sports Machine would like to point out that Mr. Robinson has never played a minute of professional basketball in his life, and think that fact stands as its own punchline.

HOCKEY Following the example set by the baseball owners, the hockey owners have decided to create a tax of one dollar (Canadian metric dollars) for every goal scored by every player for the rest of the 1990s.

Wayne Gretzky has already filed a suit against the owners claiming that he would be unfairly hit by this tax. Gretzky then realized that, as a

Robinsongetsbigbuckswith Bucks Canadian, everything he owns is taxed at a 98 percent rate anyway, and subsequently dropped his suit The rest of the NHL players vented their frustrations with the owners by beating the living hell out of each other.

This is, of course, how they deal with every problem, including global warming and running out of guacamole.

ANNOUNCERS Michael Buffer (a.k.a. the "Let' s get ready to RUMBLLLLLLLE !" guy) announced yesterday his intention to retire from professional ring announcing.

Buffer said that he had accomplished all he had set out to do as a ring announcer, and wished to pur-

sue his dream of becoming a soccer play-by-play announcer.

Buffer's new job will entail muttering about soccer strategy in incoherent Esperanto, until such time as a player actually scores.

In the world-class soccer, though, this can take more than a year.

Buffer will then become so excited about this that he will express his joy like all other announcers by shouting "GOOOOOOOOAL!" until his lungs implode.

That's about all the time we have here at Chris Gleason's Sports Machine. Remember to tune in next week for our features on Mike Tyson's conversion to tree worship and Morgana, the wacky Kissing Bandit.

Men's soccer season ends in defeat • Comets lose last chance to get into post-season

Palomar wrestlers shut out San Bernardino

• Forfeits dominate lopsided match; Comets in state tourney Chris Gleason Sports Editor

Harper Lee, in her masterpiece novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," describes courage as the ability to go willingly into a situation in which you know you are beaten.

Ms. Lee would have been proud of San Bernardino Valley on Nov. 9 at the Dome. Palomar shut them out

46-0.

Valley showed up for the match missing four wrestlers in the 150, 167, 177 and 190-pound divisions.

Forfeiting each of these matches, they already put themselves down by 24 points for the match.

Nonetheless, San Bernardino went ahead with the match, and got beaten. Badly.

Palomar's Jake Roberts, Chris Wright and Craig Welk all won their matches by pinfall. Jesse

Minolin's match stands out as the only Comet victory that was not a pin or forfeit. Minolin defeated Isaac Crane by a majority decision late in the third round of their match.

The final nail in the coffin came about when Valley's Tony Schunke suffered a shoulder injury in the second round of his heavyweight match against Palomar's Daudi Wakegijig, and forfeited.

After all was said, done and pinned, the competition had taken a grand total of 25 minutes to complete. For those who had paid three dollars admission, the per-minute charge was greater than that of a movie.

Palomar now moves on to the Southern Regional Championships in Bakersfield on Nov. 19.

Two weeks following, the Comets goes to Fresno Community College for the State Championships.

It was cold, anti-climatic and final. But hey, nobody said season ending losses were supposed to go down easy.

Palomar's Men's soccer team ended its hopes of post season play with a 4-0 loss to San Diego Mesa College. "That was it for us, it was either this or that," said Chad Reist, the team's forward.

Palomar is tied with Mesa in the standings, but Mesa opened the game with a full-blown offensive attack as they quickly moved the ball down the field with a quick-fire succession of passes. "In the beginning they just ran over us... two goals in five minutes does that," said Ryan Cramer, midfielder.

"We need this game really bad to go to the playoffs and we're going to win bottom-line," said Mesa forward Sebastian Kosiarz. "That was the most in tense half that we' ve had all year."

There was a definite sense of emotion as Mesa's players swarmed together in celebration-resembling baseball's post -homerun mobbing- after each of the three goals in the first half. Still, Palomar had a few scoring attempts and was showing a genuine effort on the field.

Cramer had a clean pass to Julio Garcia that almost produced a goal.

Some members of the small crowd cheered at the attempt and shouted out "Way to go Julio" in recognition.

"They're (Palomar) not playing well, this game really means a lot..

Football team on winning streak • Comets put together first consecutive victories Peter Sansom Staff Writer

Hut one, Palomar wins 42-34 vs. San Diego Mesa; hut two, Palomar wins again 26-14 vs. Pasadena; hike, Palomar smothers Southwestern 66-13 for another win.

Previously in the season the team had not been able to string together more than two wins in a row, but now things are looking better for the Comets as they launch toward a possible bowl game.

Currently tied with Cerritos, Palomar's three pi:evious wins were crucial for any chance of a bowl game invitation. Losing any of those games would have dashed Palomar's post-season aspirations to the ground like a used Gatorade cup.

Thenextandfmalgame,athomeNov. l9, will pit Palomar against Cerritos for a crucial showdown.

The bottom line is that Palomar needs this win to receive an invitation to a bowl game.

From The • Palomar defeats North Island Naval Air Station in the Dome Sidelines Levi Travis Staff Writer

Chris Gleason

Martina wants to Be Like Mike Welcome once again, sports fans, to Chris Gleason'sSportsMachine. Thelasttwoweeks have turned the sports world on its collective ear, so let's get started quickly.

TENNIS Martina Navratilova, arguably the greatest woman tennis player in the history of the universe, retired from the sport at the age of 42. Navratilova, who acquired nine Wimbledon singles championships over her 22-yearprofessional career, gave the following reason for her retirement at a press conference: "I have reached the pinnacle of my tennis career and have nothing left to prove. I have accomplished all I have setout to accomplish.

I have therefore decided now to pu1sue my lifelong dream of playing major league baseball."

Shortly thereafter she signed with the Chicago White Sox, is currently playing left field and moonlights as Michael Jordan's batting coach.

BOXING Heavyweight legend and cheeseburger guru George Foreman shocked the world on the night of Nov. 5 by knocking out Michael Moorer for two-thirds of the world championship.

Foreman, who at less than two months shy of turning 46 was the oldest man ever to challenge for a world title, appeared elated after his victory, shouting, "I'm going to Jack-In-the-Box!"

BASEBALL Upon entering day 2.148 x 1()23 of the Major League Baseball Continuing Punchline, the owners decided to submit a new proposal that did not include a salary cap. The owners, following the advice of a federal mediator who obviously followed the example set by the current president, have instead proposed a tax on team earnings over a certain, undisclosed point.

In the opinion of we at the Sports Machine, if a federal mediator must be sent to the negotiations, he or she should be a registered Republican.

FOOTBALL The San Diego Chargers (8-2), stunning all the experts, have swept all their away divisional games and are poised to make a strong drive at the playoffs.

Speaking of driving, Achmed Mahalikinnanii, fourth-string place kicker for the Dallas Cowboys, wrapped his 1974 AMC Gremlin around a telephone pole last Tuesday. This is the 193rdauto wreck by a member of the Cowboys this week.

BASKETBALL Glenn Robinson, No. 1 draft pick of the Milwaukee Bucks, reached an agreement with managementregardinghis contract. Robinson, who had been asking for a 13-year, $100 million deal, settled with the Bucks for a 13-

North Island Naval Station visited the Dome to face Palomar in the Comets' first home game of the season on Nov. 16. Treating Navy like unwelcome guests, Palomar boosted its record to 2-1 with a 74-61 victory.

IssacHilker's21 pointsandBruceSmith's 19 helped lead the Comets' win.

Hilker commented, "We really battled this one out to the end. We didn't give up in crunch time." He also added, "It feels better to be 2-1 at this point than 0-2like we were at about this time last year."

Early in the first half, the visiting Islanders jumped ahead and forced Palomar to play catch-up. Islander Alonza Ward hit two threepointers to begin North Islands offensive attack and his team's 15-point lead.

Two of North Island's key players were on duty and were unable to attend the game.

Islander Head Coach Jim Duncan explained, ''I'm overall pleased with our play.

We gave a good effort, but we ran out of gas at the end of the game." He also said, "we'll be more ready for Palomar next time when we have our two shooters back."

After the Islanders held a two point lead early in the game, Ryan Cunningham hit a three pointer to give Palomar their frrst lead and started a seven point run that ended with the Comets up 16-11.

Palomar Head Coach Richard Johnson was satisfied with his team's performance. ''We gave a good defensive look, played good offense, and showed good patience," he said. "We didn't shoot well, but we were really scrappy tonight and that helps. Everyone did a good job, and when you can come out of a game saying that you know you did something right," he added.

North Island trailed 23-17 with time running out in the frrst half, but fought back to a minimal deficit just before halftime as Palomar took only a three point lead to the sidelines for the mid-way break.

After the frrst half, Palomar did not let the Islanders continue their scoring drive, and began a run of their own.

Smith was mugged of a sure break away dunk that sent him to the foul line. There he converted the two foul shots and gave Palo-

mar a nine point lead at 43-34.

With 7:49 left in the game, the Islanders again pulled within three points at 51-48.

With the lingering threat of losing, Palomar again stopped North Island from regaining the lead, and finished the remaining minutes with a 16-10 point scoring advantage and a thirteen point victory.

Palomar started a three game home stand with this game. They will face Central Arizona Nov. 18, then Western Arizona Nov. 19 before starting a two-game and two-tournament road trip.

Palomar's early travels will take them to Bakersfield, Compton, Santa Barbara and Irvine Valley, respectively.
