Student learning doesn't end with desks and lectures. Palomar College's study abroad program gives students the opportunity to travel the world and experience another culture first hand, and at the same time, receive college credit. Palomar is offering eight study abroad trips over the next year. The trips include weekend excursions to Mexico, summer sessions in Spain, France and China and a semester in Salamanca, Spain in Spring 2003. All of the trips offer courses that fulfill college language and humanities requirements as well as field trips, excursions and cultural events. The semester trip to Salamanca offers courses that ful. fill general education requirements in addition to courses in language. Local families will provide housing and food. Trip directors say this is the best way for students not only to learn the language and culture, but to be a part of it as well. "It is the only real way to experience it first hand," said Spanish professor and director of the trips to Playa del Carmen and Madrid, Spain, George Pesacreta. "The classroom cannot compare," Pesacreta continued, "There is no substitute for emerging yourself into the culture and language." ■ SEE ABROAD, PAGE 5

"The whole idea is to make it more accessible to the students," Kavanagh said. He said students would be able to use any computer with a connection to the Web to vote. Kavanagh said the

dents have to endure to get their food. "Two or more registers will be added to the pavilion and the snack shack," said Pat Barret, director of food services. ''When there is more space at the cafeteria a few more reg-

nn nm.COPE James Stoney, a two-year veteran of the Palomar police force, took the position of Palomar College's police chief over the summer. Stoney, who has been a police officer for 28 years, stepped up from his position as an operation commander to take the place of former chief of police Tom Plotts. Plotts stepped down from the posi • tion to become director of public safety at Palomar. "Everything as operation commander is still my responsibility as chief of police except I have a heavier work load, and have to attend more meetings with county directors, neighboring cities and departments on campus," Stoney said. Stoney is still responsible for all field and support operations. This means he is responsible for all uniform officers and community service officers on campus and in the ■ SEE CHIEF, PAGE 5
