''War on Terror" attacks our rights .

Bv Jason Kalchik

TlfETELESCOPE

Recently a University of California at San Diego organization was ordered by school officials to remove a linking from their Web site that connected to a Web site supporting the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia. The University Center's Director, Gary Ratcliff said the hyperlink violated a law that bans "providing material support to support terrorists."

Since America was attacked last year, such language is becoming commonplace when dealing with security over privacy and First Amendment issues, adding an eerie ambiguity of power to the controversial USA Patriot Act which President Bush passed last October.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education said that the university's actions were "laughably censorious." FIRE's director of legal advocacy, Greg Lukianoff said, "I think their interpretation of materially supporting terrorism is dreadfully over broad and a massive threat to freedom of speech."

What's really at stake here? What besides a little minor censorship, do we really have to fear? I might view government steps like the Patriot Act as a dangerous emergence of a towering, right-wing self-righteousness that seems to be eroding the constitutional foundation our great nation was built upon. What's even more frightening is that neither the other branches of government, or the electorate seem to mind very much.

Besides censoring what information we have access to, the Patriot Act provides federal agencies with more surveillance options and less judicial supervision.

According to an article published at CNET.com, "[The Patriot Act] permits police to obtain court orders to conduct secret searches of Americans' homes and offices and browse medical and financial records without first showing evidence of a crime." This is a blatant violation of our Fourth Amendment rights.

In the past, federal investigators had to go through the proper channels in order to attain the authority they are given today, practically by default. In other words, there were checks and balances.

Title III of the Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 is an attempt at limiting electronic surveillance. Under Title III, investigators are required to persuade a judicial officer that the surveillance

authority they seek will provide evidence of a number oflisted offenses. Once approval is granted, the investigative teams are subjected to judicial supervision.

This restraint deals with domestic criminal investigation, not terrorism.

However, The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 is increasingly becoming the new model investigators are following when they desire greater surveillance authority. FISA is aimed at gathering information about the activities. ·of foreign persons and agents- not citizens. Under FISA, -intelligence operatives do not need probable cause.

In a recent editorial published by JURIST, The Legal Education Network, Susan: Herman, a Brooklyn Law School professor noted that, "The USA Patriot Act allows surveillance of U.S. citizens under stan·dards more like FISA than Title III." So not only do investigators no longer need approval to pry into the ordinary lives of citizens, they can do so without any supervision whatsoever .

The legislative and judicial branches are funneling power to the executive branch. This relinquishment of authority and the secretive nature of the practices in question leave Bush 's team with powers that approach absoluteness.

It's important that we keep America safe from terrorists. It's even more important that we keep America safe from political tyranny and degradation of the principles that our founding fathers fought so hard to achieve. We must all be vigilante in this pursuit.

Practically every American generation has paid a great price for the freedoms that we have. We are going to face tragedies like we did on 9/11. The rate of human population growth and technological advancement coupled with the grim political climate of a world plagued by milltmnia-old grudges, makes that a certainty.

This is part of the price we as a nation must pay for our freedom- for our existence. As a nation that has never experienced anything besides democracy, we begin to make the tragic mistake of taking our Bill of Rights for granted. Were we to suddenly lose those rights, we might finally see that the price we have paid - and will continue to pay - in order to maintain our personal and national sovereignty is a bargain indeed.

The Interior Department stands accused of horribly mismanaging something called the Indian Trust Fund. The fund was created in the late 19th century as a place for the U.S. government to deposit proceeds from the leasing of seized Indian land with its deposits of oil, gas and minerals.

For decades, the Interior Department has been accused of misplacing or failing to collect tens of billions of dollars in royalties due 300,000 American Indians. It was sued in 1996, and in the proceedings U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth held in contempt Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt and Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. The charge: failing to make a good-faith effort to correct problems with the fund and assess how much money was involved.

That accusation is mild compared with the ones · that Judge Lamberth aimed at current Interior Secretary Gale Norton. The judge said Secretary Norton "committed a fraud on the court" by lying about her department's efforts to repair the accounting system and thus undermined the public's trust.

Lawyers for Norton insist the issue is too complicated to be solved overnight, and they accuse Judge Lamberth of violating the separation of powers by telling the executive branch how to perform its duties.

The lawyers have it backward . If anything, Judge Lamberth 's criticism substantiates the separation-of-powers doctrine by doing what the courts are expected to do: provide checks and balances to dealings in the executive and legislative branches. If the executive branch is accused of exceeding its authority , or shirking its responsibility, who but the folks in the judicial branch can sit in judgment? As to the merits of this case, there is no doubt that the government is right about the issue being complicated and not easy to solve. It must be an accounting nightmare figuring out who owes how much to whom.

That is no excuse, however, for ignoring complaints and continuing a system that seems to have offered the country's first and oldest constituency little more than another set of broken promises.

Even with his criticism, Judge Lamberth gave Secretary Norton one more chance to make amends by coming up with a plan of action by early next year. Norton should be grateful for the reprieve and dedicate her best efforts to finding · a way out of this mess.

A play, "WeAre Still Here" will be staged Oct. 10, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in room D-10. The play is about Katherine Saubel, who is an elder from Los Coyotes Indian Reservation, Locklear said.

"She is a quite dynamic woman who does a lot of things in her life," Locklear said.

There will also be a number of workshops, led by faculty members, students and community members, as well as academic presentations.

"There are some academic papers that professors are going to be giving on historical issues related to California Indians, and there are just varieties," Locklear said.

Eric Elliot, professor of American Indian Studies, will chair one of the workshops, "California Language Revitalization," Oct. 11, from 3 to

languages are very few and dwindling, Elliot said.

He said he will talk about how American Indians go about getting children to pick up their ancestral language as well as learning English.

"My personal goal is to raise awareness about the urgent need to talk to children in native American languages because children are the only hope these languages have," Elliot said.

Deborah Dozier, professor of American Indian Studies, will be the chairwoman of a session called, "20th Century Indian Leadership," Oct. 12, from 10:15 to 11:30 a.m. in room P-9.

Katherine Saubel will be a speaker, and plans to talks about justice and American Indian religion, Dozier said.

"There were many religious restrictions on Indian people, so in Southern California, there are no more Indian churches," Dozier said. "Either all of the leaders were killed or taken away from internship so they can't work.

Government killed Indian religion. So, she (Saubel) is going to speak about this."

An exhibition of contemporary Southern California Indian art, "The Spirit of the Story," runs at the Boehm Gallery from Oct. 8 to Oct 26.

The art show's opening reception will be at the gallery Oct. lO, from 5 to 7 p.m. "Indian people live in a modern world, so they reflect everything," Dozier said.

Admission to the show is free. It will be open every day except Sunday and Monday. It is also closed for all school holidays. More information is available by calling the Boehm Gallery at (760) 744-1150 ext.

Pizza cheap, quick

By Charles Steinman

TH'£TELESCOPE

Bene's Pizza is the new Italian restaurant in the cafeteria. This comes as somewhat of a mixed blessing.

They offer a good variety of food-much better than you'd normally expect from a pizza place. It ranges from lasagna and three kinds of pizza to chicken wings with sauce.

Unfortunately, the food is not particularly appetizing.

The pizza tastes kind of strange, as if its ingredients are poor facsimilies of the real thing. It could be that this is a conscious choice, but I can't really confess to enjoying the taste of their pizza. The cheese is particularly strange; the pepperoni isn't as bad because the spice of the meat offsets the basic taste.

Besides the taste, the pizza is also drenched in grease-to the point where it actually drips. I don't know about anybody else, but I don't like the feeling that I'm gnawing on the cast of a bad '80s movie when I eat pizza.

Nevertheless, I do recommend the pizza for its price.

It's pretty much the only siz-

able foodstuff you'll find in the Cafeteria going for under $2.00. The price is quite fair, and the slices are large.

They also sometimes offer chicken, which is pretty decent, but is twice as expensive as the pizza, at $3.50 for about as much food. I advise against eating the "hot sauce" that goes with it, though; it's actually just a strange red variety of vinegar.

The "Italian lasagna," I suppose this is to distinguish it from French lasagna. It claims to be for "meat-lovers." This doesn't really describe me, so I suppose I'm not the best judge of this, but this is some of the blandest lasagna I've ever had. The only distinguishing feature is an overabundance of bland meat.

Like the chicken, it's also overpriced at $3.50.

Unfortunately, though, due to the fact that Bene's has to make all of the pizzas fresh, those who like pizza for breakfast are out of luck. They don't start putting pizzas out until 10:30 a.m.

On. the up side, there is never any problem with lines at Bene's. It's selfserve.

Asia's fortune uncertain

By Jessica Dalrymple

TlfEULESCOPE

"Youare a practical person with your . feet on the ground," read the fortune of the stale 25-cent cookieI got with my meal at the Asia restaurant. Thankfully my food tasted better than my sad little cookie.

While waiting in the amazingly short line, I noticed a metal bowl of chicken bento: a mixture of chicken chunks and vegetables in teriyaki sauce.

Other items served in the same bowls were beef bento, chow mein noodles, wok vegetables, fried tofu, as well as a pile of egg rolls.

The chow mein looked greasy so I got the chicken bento instead.

As I ordered I saw that a small amount of chicken remained. The server gra-

ciously poured what was left onto my plate with a several scoops of steamed white rice. Because there was no additional chicken, she insisted that I take beef to make up the difference.

On this occasion the chicken was tender and had just enough sauce to cover the food without overpowering it. On another day, I ordered "chicken sticks," an order of three chicken strips on skewers cooked in teriyaki sauce. Although it appeared fine in the case, on closer inspection the chicken was dry, flaky and cold and tasted like it looked.

Asia is clean and organized and some of food is tasty but it lacks consistency. Prices range from $1.49 for an egg roll to $3.79 for the chicken or beef bento.

Long wait for lettuce

By Gyneth Gonzalez TH'E rmscoPE ¡

Salad for breakfast is not in my future, or at least that's what I learned when I went into the cafeteria at 10 a.m. I was told the salad bar would open soon, but I decided to come back later.

When I returned the salad bar had opened, it looked well kept with clean counters and all the food was kept on ice to keep everything fresh but was uncovered.

I was the only person waiting for salad, however it took a few minutes to get help because there was only one person serving both salads and smoothies.

Once I got the chance to order I chose a small chicken Caesar salad. It cost me $2.99 for a salad about the size of a cereal bowl. A larger salad costs $3.99.

The salad was made up of romaine lettuce, chicken, croutons, and parmesan cheese. The chicken was marinated in what tasted like lime juice and the

croutons were overly spicy. The tastes just didn't go well together. On another day I returned to the salad bar to try the Chinese chicken salad. This time it was just around noon and the cafeteria was more crowded than on my previous visit. There were two people in front of me waiting for help. I stood in line for what seemed to be forever, but was really only 10 or 15 minutes.

The Chinese chicken salad was made with cabbage, mandarin oranges, fried chow mein noodles, water chestnuts, green onions, and chicken. The same chicken used for both the Caesar and Chinese salad. I have to say the Chinese chicken salad was much better than the Caesar. All the ingredients in the Chinese chicken salad actually complemented each other. Overall the service was decent yet slow and the area was clean. For those salad cravings I would have to recommend the Chinese chicken salad, it just tasted better.

I was surprised by the prices: $1.89 for a chicken or beef taco, $.50 for sour cream and $1.50 for chips and salsa! I was almost brave enough to try the baked beans for $.95 more, but as the woman behind the counter attempted to break apart the hardened mass of beans I changed my mind.

The chicken stewed in a vat of greasy, orange oil. The beef, on the other hand, looked drier and with my sensitive stomach I opted for dry as opposed to greasy. For $1.89 I was expecting a gigantic taco with mounds of beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and salsa.

What I got was a cold tortilla the size of a baseball folded around a scoop of cold beef.

The lettuce was stringy and tasteless. The tomatoes were semi-frozen and the cheese looked freshly thawed. I anticipated the blandness of the taco and ordered a side of sour cream, hoping to give the taco more texture and taste. No luck with the sour cream, it just made the taco mushy and messy.

Although the taco didn't look like much of a meal I was left feeling full. But soon after I started feeling bloated. The meat, the cheese, the sour cream, or perhaps just the combination of all three, did not mix well with my digestive track.

By the time I had completed my taco I was angry over having spent $2.39 on a taco that was not only unappetizing, but made me somewhat ill as well.

My most recent visit to Palomar's new Subway restaurant left me surprised and impressed by the service and sanitation. The food, on the other hand, is mediocre at best.

In previous visits I was disgusted by the abundance of flies and lack of service. This time, the flies were gone and the sandwich assemblers worked quickly to serve the line that stretched halfway around the cafeteria. The vegetables all looked crisp and fresh in their individual bins they were uncovered.

There were several different types of meat to choose from, including ham, salami, turkey, bacon, chicken and beef. On

As of this semester, Palomar students can now buy hamburgers and most of the goodies you'd expect to go with hamburgers at Grille Works in the cafeteria.

All the hamburgers are cooked fresh when you order them - no sitting neglected under a heat lamp for half the day.

Towards the beginning of the semester, when I first had a hamburger there, it was very greasy and honestly a bit frightening to eat. But when I went more recently, my hamburger was much better. I wouldn't say it was the best hamburger I've ever had-God bless you, In-N-Out, but it was certainly better than you'd get at McDonald's. And while a $1.50 is more expensive than you'd pay for a basic McDonald's hamburger, it certainly wasn't a rip-off. They

also offer sides of French fries and onion rings. These are kept under a heat lamp and they're about par for the course. They both cost about what you'd expect - $1.59 for large fries, $2.09 for large onion rings.

I also had a grilled chicken sandwich, allegedly with Italian dressing, but inexplicably tasted like it was drenched in vinegar. It cost three times its worth at $2.75.

The biggest problem at Grille Works is the vegetarian options: apparently if you don't eat meat, you must be made of solid cash.

A Southwestern VeggieBurger is $3.79 and a Presto VeggieBurger is $4.09 - almost their most expensive dish.

Overall, though, I wouldn't say it's a bad choice if you must eat on campus, if you're not looking to venture past hamburgers. I just want to know: Where are the milkshakes?

an assortment of vegetables, including bell peppers, tomatoes, pickles, jalapenos, onions, cucumbers and avocados. Salt, pepper, oil and vinegar along with a variety of flavored mustards were also available.

After my sandwich was packed I decided to add chips and a soda for a $1.60, essentially defying the purpose of ordering a low fat sandwich.

After paying for my meal, I took my first bite and found the bread crunchy and tough.

The turkey was bland, a good match for the almost-stale bread.

But the vegetables were some of the freshest I had ever tasted on a Subway sandwich and thus saved my turkey breast on white from being completely dull and tasteless.

Much ado about smoothies B Sarah Strause

Burgers are best of menu at Grille Works

one occasion I tried the hot Roasted Chicken Breast, a mushy piece of microwaved chicken sandwiched in a white roll.

Unsatisfied with the nuked sandwich, this time I opted for a cold one. I ordered turkey breast on white bread, no cheese, light mayo and mustard and easy on the vegeta bles. I had been watching the portions the workers dished out onto other sandwiches and they were more than generous.

The workers stuffed the tiny six-inch sliced rolls with handfuls of lettuce and one too many tomatoes.

With sandwiches ranging from $2.99 to $4.39 for a six-inch, you at least get what you pay for.

The smoothies at the new smoothie bar in the cafeteria are not worth the wait.

The other day I went to the cafeteria to get a smoothie and it took almost ten minutes for someone to realize I was waiting in line. I ordered the Fuzzy Sunset, that is a blend of strawberries, peaches and apple juice.

Surprisingly, it was pretty good. The sour, citrus flavor was refreshing, but would have been better if it were sweeter.

But for only $2.95 I can't really complain. I got a small and it was actually pretty big. At most smoothie places, it probably would have been equivalent to a regular or a medium. And the large smoothies are so huge I doubt I could finish one.

Another time I tried the Pina

Colada Beach Party, a blend of strawberries, peaches, apple juice and Mr. T's pina colada mix. It was disgusting-it tasted like sun tan lotion, which I don't find appetizing.

They do offer other smoothies that are made with bananas, however I was too scared to taste any of them because the bananas are all brown and mushy, they look like they have been sitting for a week.

'TheGoldenAgeof Grotesque' Shotkroek,r,MarilynManson, d1butshis artworkat th, Los Ang1l1stont,mporaryExhibition t,nt,r ■

By Kristian Smock

THITELESCOPE

Since taking the music industry by storm in the early 90's, Marilyn Manson has made quite a lasting impression on modern pop culture.

Whether a fan of his work or not, no one can deny his success. In addition to being a chart -topping musician, Manson has written a bestseller, dabbled in the fashion industry, and tried his hand at acting.

Despite all his accomplishments, Manson has remained a constant moral thorn in the side of parents and religious leaders worldwide.

Always interested in exploring new mediums, Marilyn Manson has now taken on the Los Angeles art scene with the opening of his gallery show, "the Golden Age of Grotesque. " The "Grotesque" exhibit opened at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition Center on Hollywood Blvd.

September 19 and was scheduled to run for only two days, but the event drew thousands of people and was extended to September 21. Manson showcased over 50 never before seen watercolor paintings to fans and collectors.

I arrived opening night two hours into the show, and half of the paintings ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 had already been sold.

The event drew celebrities, diehard farts, and people simply curious about the self-proclaimed "Anti-Christ Superstar."

Academy-Award winning actor Nicholas Cage

bought a creepy piece enti tled "Hand of Glory," which depicts an an drogynous nude with a severed bloodied stump where its right hand shoul d be.

The solemn character is devoid of genitals, and is clutching a tattered doll against its chest ... the perfect piece to spruce up anyone's home. Jack Osbourne, son of rocker Ozzy, purchased "Harlequin Jack and the Absinthe Bunny." This painting featured a scary looking chap reminiscent of the "Mad-Hatter" with a bizarre pink bunny peeking around the top of his hat.

Manson's work is heavily influenced by the German Expressionism Movement;.

He often exaggerates his subject 's features to the point of grim caricature.

Much of his work is steeped in grays and blacks , which give his paintings a cold industrial feel reminisant of Manson's musical sty lings.

Even his colorful work seems washed out and somewhat sterile.

Among his best works are "Die Deutsche Kampferin," which is a lovely painting of a naked hermaphrodite Hitler standing amid a flowery garden; "Self-Portrait," which depicts Manson himself as a deranged Mickey Mouse lifting off the top of his head to expose the emptiness within; and "When I Get Old," a side profile of the artist as a bald old man sipping a glass of wine.

On Manson's online journal he wrote, "So... I paint scabs.

Talking about them and not to them . Some cover holes in walls , holes in lives. Some make holes in wallets , in hearts ... in negative space. When writing about his upcoming album of the same title , Manson writes, "The understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism.

F**k art! I am art!"

Marilyn Manson is a versatile artist uti lizing every possible medium available in order to get is messages across. Before becoming the shock rocker he's known for, Manson was Bri an Warner , journ alist and writer.

Whether you love him , hate him, or fear him ; no one can say Manson isn't an intellectual. At a casual glance he seems to be all

style with no substance; just chaos embodied inside a man with no direction or purpose.

If you look a bit deeper one can see Brian Warner under all the make-up, and he's in total control of his alter-ego whether he wants you to know it or not.

Manson is a walking contradiction. He's an angry circus geek on the outside working with a focused businessman on the inside, and if his lasting popularity proves anything, it's that business has been very good.

With an upcoming alb um, a novel in the works, an d the success of his gallery show, Mans on has proved to be much more than a fly by night celebrit y. .. and whether you lik e it or not , he appear s to be here to stay.

DiFranco's newalbumis a mixedblessin1

By Ben Greenstein

"SoMuch Shouting, SoMuchLaughter" is thenewestreleasefromQueenof Angst,AniDifanco.

I've never been much of an Ani DiFranco fan. But then again, I said the same thing a year ago, when reviewing her album "Revelling/Reckoning." And I ended up truly liking the album.

So I should probably revise that opening statement. How's this: "I like Ani DiFranco , but I've never been patient enough to start listening to her."

Hopefully, even DiFranco's most ardent fans will understand what I mean by this statement. Regardless of her talent, she's had a huge problem with releasing too much material and spreading it across too many albums, making it hard for those moderately interested listeners like myself to find a decent starting point.

Fortunately, the new live album "So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter" was exactly

Ever since AIDS gripped the nation, experts have called for consistent and correct condom use. The public has clearly heard the first part of that message; condom use has skyrocketed. But the public health campaign has not included details on how exactly to use them.

That knowledge gap accounts for the chasm between the theoretical efficacy of condoms and their actual success. When used correctly, condoms are 98 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. But, given user errors, the pregnancy failure rate among typical condom users falls between 12 percent and 14 percent.

"I rarely run into a teenager who uses condoms correctly," said Dr. Robert Johnson, head of the adolescent and young adult division at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark.

the program for 19 years and has seen it grow. "I am lucky because I have a passion , hobby and career all in one," Feddersohn said.

Feddersohn said Palomar College is in association with the Urban Forestry program, which allows Palomar to use trees that are cut down in the San Diego area and make them into lumber .

"The artifacts made here are even more special because they are made by hand, and with wood from the San Diego area," Feddersohn said.

One of the largest and most popular workshops offered is the Timber Frame workshop, which focuses on earlier home building methods.

Through the course of the workshop, which lasts two weeks, students learn about historic timber frame joinery and together create their own • jointed structure, Feddersohn said.

The program has created several of the structures on campus, such as the Friendship Pavilion, music department timber frame, and the sawmill project.

This semester the program has seen the greatest numbers in enrollment, with about 1,000 new students, Feddersohn said.

Feddersohn about 70 percent of these students are dedicated college students, while about 30 percent are community members who are not neces-

sarily pursuing a degree.

The woodworking program also recruits around 100 new students each year from the San Diego County Fair.

About 1,500 Palomar Woodworking students are also involved with the San Diego Fine Woodworking association.

Feddersohn said the opportunities that the program gives students can help them in running their own businesses, or just provide them with a hobby.

Gabriel Hernandez has been a part time student in the woodworking program for two

and a half years. He's in the program to help him with his job as a cabinet maker.

"Coming to Palomar makes me realize how to do things right, and it gives me the confidence I need to survive in this business," Hernandez said.

"I learned about the Palomar Woodworking program from my father who came here 12 years ago," said Ricahrd Babcock, now in his fourth semester at Palomar.

"It is a hobby for me, something I love and can share with my father," Babbock said. "We took a class over the summer

together."

Feddersohn said he is concerned that high schools and colleges are closing down their woodworking programs and replacing them with computer programs.

He said this makes Palomar's program important because there are very few places that someone can learn the trade.

"I would hope to think that all our efforts her at Palomar will help create the future heirlooms, and family antiques that will be passed on for generations and generations," Feddersohn said.

Palomar offers a number ' of cabinet and furniture technology courses. The courses cost $11 per unit, like most Palomar classes, though there is generally a materials fee of around $20.

Most classes meet twice a week, for four hours at a time.

The department reccommends that most students start with the Fundamentals of Woodworking class.

The program offers three associate's degrees: one in cabinet-making and millwork, one in furniture and wood technology and one in cabinet and furniture technology.

The program is housed in the T building at the north end of the San Marcos campus, above Parking Lot 12.

Student Athlete graduation rates at all time high B Wendell Barnhouse

K T NEWSSERVICE

FORT WORTH, Texas-Report cards are in, and the graduation rates for NCAA Division I studentathletes continue to improve slowly and steadily.

For the first time since the NCAA started tracking graduation rates in 1984, the graduation rate of Division I student-athletes reached 60 percent. By comparison, 58 percent of all students graduated.

The study of Division I schools, which is federally mandated, is based on the class of incoming freshman student-athletes for the 1995-96 school year .

The graduation rates are based on a six-year cycle for completing undergraduate degrees. A studentathlete who transfers from his or her original school is counted as a non-graduate even if he or she graduates from another school.

"This is very encourag ing," said Dr. Francis Lawrence, Rutgers president and chairman of the Division I Board of Directors Task Force on

Academic Reform. "This is the first graduating class of student-athletes who were required to have 13 high-school core courses (up from 11) in order to participate in athletics as freshmen.

The results show that we are on the right track."

Nationally, graduation rates for men's basketball continued to be troubling.

The graduation rate for male basketball players in Division I increased to 43 percent, compared with 40 percent last year. And African-American male basketball student -athletes had a 35 percent graduation rate, up from 31 percent last year.

The graduation rates for individual schools can be misleading, particularly for a sport such as men's basketball, in which there are instances of players transferring.

Also, a school's recruiting class is usually fewer than five players, so the percentages are skewed when one or two players transfer or leave school early for the NBA Draft.

recovered a fumbled punt and drove 23 yards to the end zone to cut the deficit to seven points. The Comets' next score came on another field goal by Lux to make the score ·20-10.

At halftime, Coach Early told his guys not to quit.

"We had to have even more intensity and we had to work harder the second half to finish this out the right way," Early said.

Early in the second half, Williams broke loose on a run that spanned 65 yards and found him in the end

zone to bump the lead up to 27-10. Lux added his third field goal in the fourth quarter to make it a 30-17 lead. Late in the fourth quarter, quarterback Roman Ybarra threw a touchdown pass to Travis Plash to seal the victory 37al7 and expand Palomar's record to 3-0.

Comets' kicker Ryan Lux had a stellar game, hitting three field goals and placing 5 of his 8 kicks into the end zone.

Palomar's defense dominated with four intercep-

tions and a fumble recovery.

Shane Lancaster returned his second pick of the season for 54 yards.

Willy Tagoi had his third interception on the season and Brandon Bell his second. Ron Rockett also took one away from the Vikings.

Linebacker Andrew Paopao added two sacks to give him six sacks on the season.

"Our offense controlled the ball for large amounts of time and defensively we played well," Early said. "I think overall we played a real solid game."
