Election results stir controversy By Karen Ossenfort ASG election results are final! Andy Wynne, vice president; Shirley Wisener, legislator; and Manuel Sepulveda, legislator, were seated il) their respective offices at the November 3legislature meeting after a controversy over election procedures was ruled invalid by the Judicial Advocates. Carol Hoskins , chief judicial advocate, d!stri buted copies during the meeting of a letter containing the
JA's position over the controversy to each of the legislators and ASG President Steve Chappell. The letter stated in part: " .. . in light of the fact that the election committee failed to disqualify Manuel S e pulveda, Donald Williams , and Andy Wynne for failure to comply with the election code, Article II, Section 3B, in not filing a finan cial statement, they should be allowed to file these at this time and the winners be seated in the legislature."
Article II, Section 3B of the election code states that "all candidates will be required to file a financial disclosure statement itemizing all expenditures of the candidates' campaigns with the Election Committee on the first day of balloting by 5 p.m." Sepulveda's, Williams', and Wynne 's failure to do so was the cause of the controversy. The Judicial Advocates' letter went on to say: " ... This opinion should not be construed as condoning the omission of these can-

Dinner, mime performance on tap tonight In a special dinner theatre presei'.tation , Jamie Allen will show his "Magical Mime Troupe" in the Student Union tonight at 7:30 p.m. The five member group promises mime and pantomime, featuring such humorous sketches as the Biblical "David and Goliath," the eerie "Mad Scientist" and a spoof entitled "Train Robber." One of the highlights of the evening will be the impromptu section, when the troupe will act out audience requests . Allen's troupe has toured Texas, Utah and California, and was a recent guest of Knott's Berry Farm's "Mardi Gras". The dinner menu will include roast sirloin of beef with bordelaise sauce, green beans amandine, baked potato, mixed green salad, hot rolls and frozen yogurt with topping. According to the group's director, Jamie Allen, "Mime is the art of creating illusions by using the performer's body and imagination, as well as the imagination of the audience. It is a highly personal art and a difficult one to master, because of the discipline and concentration that it requires."

didates failure to comply. Rather, they should be admonished because of their lack of responsibility in running for office." "We believe it is necessary that in allowing this decision to stand, both majority and minority groups on campus be made aware of their responsibility to uphold rules set forth in the election code and the constitution." Shirley Wisener, newly elected legislator, commented that the JA's made the right decision. "Their decision showed me that they• are truly unbiased and spent much time in rationalizing their decision. Wisener also cited imperfections in the election code and constitution and believes it "imperative to rewrite , reevaluate and amend where need be." Judith Shumway, judical advocate , also believes that the election code is unclear and needs to be rewritten. Commenting on the election controversy Shumway said, "The election was over before it was realized (by the JA's) that they (Sepulveda, Wynne, and Williams) had not filed a financial disclosure statement." "It was an oversight by the JA's. However, I feel that our decision was the right alternative out of all those offered. We interpreted as we saw it and that's the best we could do. Unseating them (Sepulveda and Wynne) at this time would not have been conducive to any cohesion on campus ." One source saw it differently and did not agree with the JA's ruling. This source, preferring to remain anonymous , claims that, "Not only did the candidates fail to submit financial statements, but there was illegal campaigning within the polling area and ballots were being let out as well." Article III, Section 2 C and D of the Election Code states that the balloting stations are to be designed as to prevent voting students -from leaving the station with their ballots. Also , the station is to be no larger than ten square feet. Article III Section 2G says that no campaigning by any candidate or his committee should take place within 200 feet of the balloting place. Ed Estes,legislator,supported the source by admitting that he saw 2 ballots "A good 50 feet away from the polls."

OP/ED Opinions - Editorials
Hey turkey! By Mary Dickinson The scene is Virginia, 1776, the fathers of our country, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin are gathered at Mt. Vemon for Martha's delicious Thanksgiving dinner. She's really put on a spread - roasted yams, bread pudding, flasks of wine, and the star attraction - a freshly cooked bald eagle with an apple in his beak. Is there some confusion here? Shouldn't that be a delicious roasted turkey? If Ben Franklin had his way 200 years ago, the eagle, or any other bird, could be traditional Thankgiving fare, not the turkey. During a conversation with a history buff I leamed this bit of trivia, and it got me thinking. If the eagle were replaced by the turkey imagine the changes our society would have made. Turkeys would no longer be stuffed and served to a drooling family at Thanksgiving. Therefore turkey farmers would be raising other kinds of birds in mass quantities. Maybe we'd have chicken, or woodpecker, or red-crested blue finches with our potatoes. The courage of the turkey? It could be that the birds are really courageous. Everyone has seen the splendid eagle soaring high above the trees and overlooked the majestic turkey waddlin~ along. But what would Buick do with a turkey hopping instead of the eagle swoowng onto their sign in the commercials? And then there is the lovely derogatory term that we scomfully use on the people we really dislike- "you turkey!" It just doesn't have the same humiliating ring replaced with "eagle." People might think they were being complemented instead of chewed out if you yelled "You eagle" while they ran over your toe with a half-ton dump truck. Yes, life certainly would be strange if we had a turkey for our national symbol. But, you know, it might not be a bad idea; we sure do have our share of them in political offices.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
'Legislature a zoo' says stu dent A zoo is the only word that describes the present state of Palomar College's Student Legislature. If the students of Palomar found out just what goes on every Thursday night at 6:15 they would be outraged! Today we have six members of the legislature who have special interest ties with four clubs on campus (AIO, BSA, CLU, MEChA). Even worse it was these clubs who
'Fumin beings' overheat in rage By Mike Johnson "I've been in cheap joints before, but this one really takes the cake," replied a throaty '64 Chevy Nova, its words coughing out in smokey gusts. "Ya, zie vait iz abzurd," commented a nearby Renault, "I need a schtiff belt ov petrol." In low rumblings of combustion andoverheat, the waiting line of fumin' beings motored their time and energy in two single file lines. Between stalled glances and missed cylinders, the wary crew sped thru the carbon monoxide in sudden five mph spurts. Except for an occasional Porsche or limousine, the majority of the crowd seemed quite upset over their idle time, as most of them had either a low boiling point or bad gas problems. Reporter Milles P. Gallon was on hand for a few comments: "Vrooom, vrooom, l grnd a oomv I vrooom. This place is really a drag I grnd a oom vI . Almost enough to make me blow a gasket," a Ford Mustang with rimmed tractor wheels . "Squeeeeel, errrr, slammit, these stops and starts are making my brakes down. I can't understand this constant wear and tear on my facilities," a VW bug with custom chrome rust and slicks. "Tcka taka tckataka/zzwheeel. These long waits are wearing me out. Especially when I'm low on water, oil, gas, brake fluid, battery water and tire air," a light blue brown yellow red '59 Rambler. Amidst numerous honks and brake squeels, "the Palomar traffic situation sucks gas."
campaigned to get them in. The legislator with the most seniority, I understand, violated the election code during this recent election and as far as I know, nothing has been done about it! I would think that our elected officials would not stoop to such dirt, but I guess they back each other so as not to be caught. The biggest joke is the way in which the meeting is run. I am not finding fault with the chairman. Mark Mowrey does a good job considering what he has to deal with. The six member block I mentioned earlier controls the meeting. Even more disgusting is watching the chairman, or in his absence, the vice-chair, Ed Estes try to explain Robert's Rules of Order or the Palomar Constitution to them, which they obviously have neither read nor can understand. Even worse is the legislators' inability to work with one another. One of the legislators, Mary Sue Rafalko, made a motion to approve the minutes of the previous meeting. It failed because a special interest block voted it down. Then, one ofthe members of the block made the same motion and it passed! Because the block has six members to the three independents they make a joke out of the whole idea of student government. Things look grim for "us" the students. There is only one hope, Shirley Wisener, one of the new legislators. I understand that Shirley is a real fireball. That is why I voted for her. Maybe she can knock the legislature into shape. If not, then we must do something! Go to the meetings and you will see what a zoo it is. Maybe then you will agree with me that we do not have proper representation.

HOPES TO INCREASE COMMUNICATION
Burns takes over student services By Karen Ossenfort
placement center for undecided rna¡ )OrS .
Hoping "to increase the communication bridge between faculty and students ," Dr. Kenneth Burns, new Dean of Student Personnel Services has already taken steps to fulfill his goal. By moving to the ASG office (R-3) from his position in the Administration building, Dr. Burns hopes to make himself "more accessible and vulnerable to the students." Hoping to strengthen the bridge "letting the students know where I am and that I care. I will also be practicing an open-door policy."
Dr. Burns replaces Robert Burton in the position of Dean of Student Personnel Services. This means that as Dean he will be responsible for the administrative and managerial leadership of the position as well as planning, organizing, controlling, evaluating, and encouraging staff development. He also functions as the primary resource for the students, faculty, president, board of trustees and the general public for the Student Services program. Dr. Burns has brought education and experience with him having received his Ph.D from USC, his Masters in Psychological Counseling Testing from the University of Pittsburgh, and his B.S. in Education from Otterbein College. After receiving his Bachelors Dr. Burns -enlisted in the Air Force for four years and was shortly picked up for Officers Training School. While serving his tour he was responsible for Base Educational and College CO.OP programs, and also had experience in Personnel, Educational, and Special Services.
Having decided to take a year off from education Dr. Burns obtained a position as an emp loyment specialist with Douglas Aircraft. But he says, "I decided that I really did miss education and basically, the students. So, I accepted a position at Humboldt State College (Arcata, Calif.)." While at Humboldt he worked on his Ph.D. which he received from USC in 1968.

He was also one of the initial founders and first vice-president of South Dakota's little League Baseball. With the end of his four years in the Air Force, Dr. Burns went on and served as Sports Editor for the Allegheny Advance Leader as well as being employed full time as a development associate on the Chancellor's staff at the University of Pittsburgh. While in Pittsburgh he decided to continue his education and started work towards his Masters at night school. Shortly after completing his Masters an opportunity arose for him to accept a position as Director of Counseling and Guidance at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Dr. Burns accepted and while there formed the first counseling and

From Humboldt Dr. Burns went to Yakima Valley College in Washington as Dean of Student Affairs. There he met Dr. Ornar Scheidt (Palomar's new President) with whom he has been friends ever since. Both Dr. Burns and Dr. Scheidt enjoyed close communication with the students. The Yakima campus choir invited both of them to sing with the group and later presented them with the Quahlot Singer award.
Dr. Burns then went on to the University of Maine where he served as vice-president for Student Affairs before going on to the University of Southern Colorado where he was also vice-president of Student Affairs . It was at the University of Southern Colorado that Dr. Burns heard of the administ!ative opening
at Palomar. He and his wife Gini discussed the opportunity and decided to accept it because ,"we liked the idea of a small college atmosphere. Here you have the hugeness without losing touch with the small college feeling." His concept of a college is "a laboratory where a student can develop to the best of his potentials. It's great to see students developing their potentials and by working with them I can expose them to new and varied ideas. " I believe that the student is the reason for the college and we (faculty) are here to do what we can for them." When Dr. Burns isn't on campus getting to know people and improving the campus for the students, he is on the tennis courts. A selfconfessed "tennis nut" Dr. Burns enjoys playing in mixed doubles with his wife. "On the courts I can really relax and work out any frustrations that I may have." His wife, Gini, is also involved on campus taking courses towards her Bachelors in Health Education. She holds an AA in Nursing and has aspirations of going on for her Masters. The Burns have a ('j ust over') two year old daughter Melissa, who Dr. Burns claims never went through the 'terrible twos'.

AWAIT SOUTHERN CAL PLAY-OFFS
Poloists clinch conference title By Mike Carney As both Coach Don Hubbard and assistant Coach Brian Smith climbed out of the pool they realized it was one swim well deserved. Both were thrown in the poo l by their waterpo lo squad after they defeated Chaffey 12- 11 last Thursday to wrap up an undefeated conference record. The Comets a re now preparing for the Southern California play-offs held Tuesday and Wednesday at East Los Angeles College. Their first game will he against fourth seeded Ventura. Coing into their final two league games, the locals needed one victory to clinch the Mission Conference and two to remain unbeaten. Both victories werP tough for the Comets to gain . "1rwse tough victories ar
just one more step to h elp us entering the Southern Cal playoffs ," said Smith. Against Chaffey, the Comets were locked in a see-saw battle with no team taking more than a two goal lead . Chaffey scored first on their first possession of the game. The Comets after regaining co ntrol of the ball, attempted a shot saved by Chaffey's goa lie. John Adams rushed the goalie, deflected his pass a nd tipped the ball in to even the score 1-1. The Panthers regained th e lead in the second period on an extra man situation after Adams was ejected. Paul Hubbard scored last in the period to even the half-time score to :1-:l.
Te n goals were scored in the third period with five going to each team.
Less hair means more flair for Comets' Abrams By Mike Carney If, during a football game you happen to see number 7!-J with his helmet off, you would notice the lack of hair on the top of his head. If you hear some of the other players calling him "Trunk " don 't mistake him for the all-pro dd"ensi ve linemen Otis Sistrunk. It's not Sistrunk , it's Joe Abrams , offensive tackle for the Comets. Abrams, fi ft. 4 in. and 2fif'l pounds felt h e needed a change, so he shaved off his hair. " I thought I needed a personality change. To get more serious a bout the garnP and myself," said Abrams. You may be wondering if it has worked. " It made me a lot more serious and gave me a better outlook about myself and football ," said Abrams. A graduate of Oceanside High , Abrams played during his sophomore year but gave it up to play in the band. Abrams missed playing football so returned when he entered college. "I enjoy the game," said Abrams. ''I get an adrenalin kick from playing. It 's just something you'd h ave to experience." Abrams plays behind sophomore Dave Bylin . "Dave has more experience and is quicker than I am. It should be hard for a freshman to start at a junior college," Abrams added. He credits both Coach Mario Mendez and Coach Bob Lusky in their respective fields. "Coach Mendez is probably one of the finer coaches I've run into. As for Coach Lusky, he makes the game interesting. He has a fun way of teaching the game," said Abrams. "The battles are won in the trenches," said Abrams. "If the offensive line doesn't play well, it reflects on the entire team. Our defensive line has played well as far as the season has been going. We've been in every game we'v~ played so

far. One reason for the losses could be the lack of experience." Next season, Abrams looks for more playing time and a more experienced team. "We have a lot of experience returning next year, both offensively and defensively. I see much success next season." The Cornets play Citrus tomorrow night in their league finale. "That should be a very emotional game, because last year they clobbered us, " said Abrams. "This should have the magnitude of the MiraCosta game." As for Abrams' future in football he would like to play for the Oklahoma Sooners or the California Bears. To go even one step further, Abrams would eventually like to play for the Cleveland Browns where the legend of Paul Brown still lives. "The offensive line has their own personal glory. Opening holes and protecting the quarterback to us is an accomplishment," said Abrams. "It would be nice to hear something said about the offensive line." Well , Joe , here's some publicity.
Chaffey struck first , scoring the openi ng minute of the period. The Comets were ca ught in the middle of switchin g men when the Panthers scored. Bill Curtis brought the Comets even again with a goal on their first extra man situation. Both teams scored four goals apiece with Ch affey scoring the last with 37 seconds left. Opening the fourth period , Ch affey gained possession of the ball. Passing back a nd forth from side to side the Panthers attempted a shot that seemed to be a sure goal. But, goalie Fred Brannon came up with a most spectacular save diving to his left and just tipping the ball a way from the goal. Hubbard tipped in a rebound shot to give the Comets a 9-8 lead. Chaffey, not to be outdone, came right back and evened the score just 30 seconds later. The Panthers pulled ahead again catching the Comets switching men with 2:30 left. Kevin Bodwell, Jim Delpy and Hubbard exploded for three goals in a minute and a half span to pull ahead 12-10. Ch affey scored with 55 seconds left to bring them within one with 30 seconds left. George Soulard stole the ball from the Panthers, just left of Brannon to ice the victory. "We tried a new defense," said Hubbard. "It didn 't help us overall. It 's a more difficult defense. If we improve on it, it will help us in the playoffs." The Comets also had a tough time in disposing Saddleback in a defense contest 6-5 on November 3. Adams scored three of the Comet's four first half goals , putting the
locals ahead 4-2 at h alf-time. Bodwell tallied the other goal. " We expected a close game. It was a good defensive game," said Hubbard. The Comets went ahead to stay on th e final play of the third quarter when Adams intercepted a pass and passed off to Bill Macy who scored, giving the Comets a 5-4 lead. Peter Schmidt added a goal early in the fourth period before the Gauchos could get back on track. Hubbard added two assists raising his new school record to 84. Brannon finished with nine saves. Eight of Southern California 's top teams will compete in the playoffs with the top two advancing to the state finals. "We'll have to play real good games to make it to the state tournament," said Hubbard. "This year, they're only taken two teams to the state finals, instead of four," said Smith. "This makes the competition much tougher. Last year, the Comets finished in seventh place in the Southern Cal play-offs. In 1977, the locals are looking for a higher placing. "Last year, we played to our potential. I think we stilled played better this year," said Smith.

Comet, Griffin hockey squads deadlock twice A two game series with Grossmont was just what the Comets needed for a possible third place overtake. Grossmont needed the games to catch the top two opponents. But both teams gained nothing ending up tying both games. The first game, played November 3 saw Grossmont control the offensive part with the Comets playing in their zone most of the day. Neither team scored throughout the game. Erin Laird finished the game with 16 saves and received help defensively from Julie Jordan. "They outplayed us, " said Coach Vi Jeffrey . " We were lucky to get a tie. Our defense held us in. " The second contest was played on November 8. A little more scoring was involved but a 2-2 tie was the end result. The Comets took a halftime lead at 1-0 on a goal by Pam Gibbons with an assist going to Sheila Lemmons. Grossmont rallied
to take the lead at 2-1. With about four minutes left, Karen Hayden put a shot past the Griffins goalie to tie the game up . Palomar with the momentum on their side came close to scoring again , but fell short. Fullerton was next on the Comets list, losing to them 3-1 last Thursday at Fullerton. The Comets lone goal came from Gibbons with Audrey Miller credited with an assist. In last Tuesday's action, the Comets upped their league record to 3-5-3 with a 1-0 win over Orange Coast College. The first half ended in scoreless play with neither team showing much offense. " It was a good defensive game," said Jeffrey. " Both offensives were lacking." Hayden scored the games lone goal midway through the second half. An assist was credited to Gibbons. Goalie Laird faced only one shot but had help on defense from Karen Buskirk.
Spikers still near top at 10-1 Playing probably their best game of the year, the women's volleyball team trounced San Bernardino 15-2, 15-4, 15-3. The game, played November 9, saw the Comets playing their best defense so far this season. "They all played consistantly," said Coach Teri McFarland. "They also ¡ cut down on their errors." The Comets travel to Citrus today and play home Wednesday against Saddleback at 5 :30. A victory over Saddleback will move the Comets into a first place with the Gauchos. If the Comets win, another contest between these same teams will be set up. The winners will be declared the Mission Conference champs. The Comets found more trouble in Southwestern, eventually disposing the Apaches in five games 5-15,15-5, 14-16, 15-10 and 15 -12. Machamer
and Stafford led the Comet attack with 15 kills apiece. Machamer also passed off well and contributed three ace serves . "It's amazing that we won . They outplayed us defensively," said McFarland. "We just made fewer errors offensively. We're mentally tougher." Trailing 7-0 in the fourth set, the locals eventually were able to put their spikes away without surrending anymore points. Smiley, Moore and Teri Bucher came off the bench to play superbly. "We're now working hard on our defense for the Saddleback game." Last Wednesday, the Comets had a little trouble in defeating an improved Riverside squad, 15-10,1215, 16-14 and 15-0. "They played good defense," said McFarland. "They got a lot of our balls up."
Coming off one season high they would like to remember and another they would love to leave behind, the Comets will conclude the 1977 football season tomorrow night against always-powerful Citrus. The finale will be the Comet homecoming with kickoff slated for 7:30p.m. at Vista High School. Palomar rolled up a season-best of 509 yards in total offense last week to romp past a winless San Diego City team, 34-14, in a day affair at ancient Balboa Stadium. The Comet defense, meanwhile, limited the Knights to only one pass completion in seven attempts, and that went for no gain. The stat that head coach Mario Mendez would like to forget about is the fact that the Comets were whistled for 18 penalties totaling a whopping 205 yards. "There's no way we can have all of those penalties and expect to beat Citrus," said Mendez. "I don't know if it was because of the daytime start, or the jets or the band playing, but at least there weren't any personal fouls, late hits or clipping called on us." Play was interrupted often by jetliners buzzing overhead on approach to nearby Lindbergh Field, and the Morse High School band played constantly while the ball was in play. It was also the first day game for many of the Comets since their high school freshman days. After watching his offense run wild against the Knights, Mendez
was confident about the upcoming game against the Owls. "They' re not as awesome as they used to be," said Mendez about Citrus, which has lost only one Mission Conference game this year, that to Saddle back. "They certainly are a good team, but I think we're a pretty good team ourselves." Palomar looked like champions Saturday in improving its Mission record to 4-2 and its overall mark to 6-3. Eight different Comets ran the ball to total 293 yards, with Dale Wilhelm's 93 on 25 carries leading the way. In addition, quarterback Jim Goodman , still gimpy from his knee surgery, completed 11 of 21 passes for 158 yards. Fullback Jim Colvin also tossed a pass, completing it from the halfback option to Willie Ramirez for 58 yards. Ramirez played exceptional, burning the Knight secondary on eight receptions for 168 yards. On two occasions the Comets had a third down situation with more than 30 yards for a first and both times Ramirez made catches for the needed yardage. Ramirez also caught a touchdown pass from Goodman covering 45 yards, while Colvin scored twice on runs and Wilhelm and Derrick Peters each scored on short runs. On defense, linebacker Don Shelton set up one score with an interception, lineman Mike Dier set up another with a fumble recovery on a kickoff, and Nate Willess and Chuck Peralta each made fumble recoveries.
