PARTICIPATE IN ANNUAL FLIGHT CON FERENCE

Pilots learn through competition Jim Petranoff and Gil Lahlum scored points as five members of the aviation club, the Pi Alpha chapter of Alpha Eta Rho, flew competitively in the recent Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Flying Association (PCIFA) annual flight conference. Competition in the Safety and Flight Evaluation Conference (Safecon) held at the San Jose Municipal Airport included 10 flying teams from California and Arizona colleges. Petranoff took fourth place in the message drop competition, while club president Lahlum took sixth in the power on landing event. The message drop event is the only competition permitting nonpilots' participation. Flying not lower than 200 feet, Lahlum maneuvered the aircraft into position so that Petranoff could drop the message container (a hollowed-out

piece of balsa wood) onto the target. "We had only two drops, one at each end of the runway," says Petranoff. In the short field landing approach event, Lahlum competed with over 40 other pilots to win a sixth place in the precision landing event. Each pilot flew a pattern and then reduced power opposite the spot of intended landing. He then continued his pattern and flew at a normal gliding speed to the point of landing. The pilot then made touchdown in a full stall attitude. Lahlum, together with fellow student and pilot Ray Causey, flying a Cessna 150 competition plane, enteted both the precision landing and navigation events. Palomar flying enthusiast, part-time travel agent Kathy Woodbury participated in the message drop with Causey at the controls. Top awards of the flying event

went to San Jose State with a first, Cypress with a second, and Arizona State University and the College of San Mateo tying for third. These four winning teams will compete in the National Intercollegiate Flying Association's Safecon to be held in Tennessee in May. "Besides competing, the conferences give us the opportunity to meet and learn from other pilots," says Lahlum, a pilot of 14 months. The yearly flight conference provides college flying teams and college flying enthusiasts with a chance to become accomplished in competition through a variety of flying activities. PCIF A fosters the growth of college flying and the advancement of aviation education. Pilots and non-pilots at Palomar College are sharing their interest in (Continued on Page 8)

Campus archeological excavation yields seasonal dwelling of Luiseno Indian By Rachel Meltzer If you had been hanging around the San Marcos Valley 2000 years ago, would you have had any company? Most definitely, according to recent findings by the Archeology Department at Palomar. Last semester an archeological excavation class taught by Dr. Dennis O'Neil excavated a site on campus which yielded evidence that there was a seasonal dwelling place belonging to the Luiseno Indians in this area. Although no positive dating process has yet been used to determine the age of the site, Dr. O'Neil believes the site to be a pproximately 2000 years old, though it may have been repeatedly inhabited up until the 19th century. The area that has been excavated so far was a habitation site for approximately two to four families. Dr. O'Niel stated that this small dwelling area is probably part of a larger diffused community. He says that there are at least 14 similar small dwelling sites in the campus area of the San Marcos Valley. The class, Archeological Excavation (Anthropology 5), which is offered on Saturdays during the fall semester, had excavated sites along the coast and in southwest Escondido in the past. but Dr. O'Neil felt

that "it was time to investigate the sites in our own backyard. "These sites were unrecorded until last year. All of the sites will give us information on the cultures of the local Indians. "The San Marcos area is being developed rapidly. It will soon be filled up. We need to salvage all the information we can before the sites are destroyed. "Before he left Palomar, Dr. (Frederick R) Huber assured me that he would do all in his power to preserve the sites here on campus. And I'm grateful to the present administration for the support they have given to the project. "However, I realize that some of these sites on campus are less important than others, and that they will be destroyed. One such site was recently bulldozed." The site that is presently being excavated still has much work to be done on it. So far, the site has yielded tools and other evidence of human habitation. Dr. O'Neil explains the finds, and the conclusions he has drawn from them. "We have found abundant evidence of female activity. Many food preparing tools and cooking tools. Also , some hunting tools and other meat processing tools, which probably indicate male activities. Also , evidence of tool making, such as stone chips from arrowheads.

"The reason I tentatively dated the site at less than 2000 years is that we found a type of Luiseno pottery that has been found at other Luiseno sites. These other sites where the pottery was found have been dated at 2000 years or less. "The local Indians were technologically simple. This is not to say that they were culturally simple. They had a rich cultural tradition. But they primarily lived by hunting and gathering. "The Luiseno Indians migrated seasonally. They went to the Palomar Mountain area in the fall to gather acorns, which were a basic staple in their diet. They also migrated, probably in the winter, to the coast to gather fish and shellfish. They did have simple boats. All of this migration made seasonal homes necessary. "By examining the soil in our site area, we discovered abundant evidence of acorn remains. This would tentatively indicate fall and winter habitation. "So far, we have found no human remains. If, however, we do find any skeletal remains or evidence of cremation, we will contact local Indian communities for ceremonial reburial of the remains." When asked how the site on (Continued on Page 3)

By Mike Johnson In response to mutual problems on campus, local ants have banded together to form the school's latest special interest group, the Coalition for Rights of Ants on Lawns (CRAL). CRAL president Causen Lost explained, "The rights of my fellow insectaAmericans have been trampled long enough. The student majority shuns our identity by simply brushing us off as pests. "I'm tired of being sat on ," he added. The group was formed when other ants encountered similar difficulties in their chosen cultural environment. "There are no equal opportunities when two races cannot share this campus, or at least a few bread crumbs," Causen concluded.

/

Following their first organizational meeting last week, CRAL members (n urn bering 3. 7 million) set out their goals and projects for the upcoming year. Although goals could not be explained as of press date, CRAL spokesinsects said that a list of dances, fund raisers and special job and educational benefits have been arranged for members who pay their dues. "We seek total equality and similiar opportunities for man and bug alike. After that, then we'll worry about a proposed country club and community center for insecta-Americans," Causen replied.

CONCERT REVIEW

•• and then there were three By Rick Hoff For the second time in nearly a month a prominent British rock music act had a little something to prove at the San Diego Sports Arena. First it was David Bowie, who made his first tour in two years but still made a strong showing at the Arena in March. The other act, one that probably had a bigger test ahead of them than Bowie, passed with ease Saturday night. The group in question is Genesis , one of the most important and entertaining bands to come out of England's progressive era. But like other musical

'GENESIS' giants, Genesis has weathered the changes . The group has been whittled down to three members , although two extras have been added for concert appearances. In the early days, Genesis began to take rise thanks to such albums as Foxtrot, which included a progressive epic of sorts in the 23-minute Supper's Ready. The band reached a peak and gained strong notice in the U.S. two albums later when the two-record mini-opera, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, was released. All the while, the generating force of Genesis on the stage was Peter Gabriel, an offbeat lead vocalist who used unusual outfits, stage mannerisms and lyrics to give his message. In 1974, just prior to Lamb, the group was elected by an overwhelming vote the "Top Stage Band" in a reader's poll conducted by New Musical Express, ahead of The Who, Emerson Lake, & Palmer, Pink Floyd and Yes. Things were looking up going into the enormous stage production of Lamb, but six weeks into that tour, Gabriel decided to leave the group to pursue a solo career. The big question was where to find a lead singer, and after weeks of searching in the wrong places, the band found someone capable

right in their own back yard. Drummer Phil Collins, who had boyhood dreams of being an actor, took over the singing duties while Tony Banks continued on keyboards, Mike Rutherford on bass and 12-string and Steve Hackett on guitars. The group followed with a pair of very strong studio albums, A Trick of the Tail and Wind And Wuthering, before releasing a double-live album. Now without Gabriel, the band captured another honor by being named the top live act of 1977 by a Melody Maker reader's poll. But then came another departure as Hackett followed in Gabriel's footsteps to go solo. Thus, the title of the new elpee, ... And Then There Were Three . .. Overcoming this latest change hasn't been as difficult as when Gabriel left the group, according to the remaining members. Rutherford, a proven guitarist on lead, 12-string or bass, has taken over Hackett's parts in the studio, and Rutherford and stage addition Darly Stuermer trade guitar parts in concert. Collins, meanwhile, continues to be energetic and entertaining on center stage while Chester Thompson fills in excellently on the drums. The stage production this year wasn't as elaborate as in the Gabriel days, but the band did make use of a colorful light show. What little lasers were used and three giant mirrors above the stage didn't give off quite the stunning effect to those sitting in the back of the Arena, but the sound was better than the usual Arena distortion thanks to suspended speakers. Songs from the latest album continue in the Genesis tradition of British folklore and story-telling. The two-hour show, which started at 10 p.m. due to an earlier commitment in San Francisco, included many ofthe new cuts, all of which fit into the mold of music that can't be played on the side, but instead should be concentrated upon. Other trios have made it big, so there's no reason that a band with the genius of Genesis shouldn't continue as one of music's most appreciated products.

Instructor voices hope for museum (Continued from Page 1) campus was chosen, Dr. O'Neil explained that some advanced archeological students did test excavations and experimented with new soil chemical tests involving soil phosphate levels last spring to determine the best excavation site. As for precise dating of artifacts found on the site, the carbon-14 method will most likely be used extensively, with the work being done by a San Diego laboratory. The artifacts will be catalogued this spring and summer in the new Archeology Lab and Archives facilities on campus. Says Dr. O'Neil , "The site we are

working on doesn't have the intellectual appeal that older sites have, but it does have finer artifacts." He has hopes for a Archeological Museum on campus where these and other finds can be displayed. He says that Dr. Scheidt, President of Palomar, is enthusiastic about such a museum. "But," explains Dr. O'Neil,"the state cannot provide funding for the proj ect because, according to them, a museum does not primarily provide a teaching function. So, what we will have to do is get large donations from private sources. " Archeology seems more popular

on campus these days . E n rollment was up 50% in archeology classes this fal l over last fall," relates Dr. O'Neil. This indicates to him that such a facility as an archeological museum would be used a nd a ppreciated here. Finally, Dr. O'Neil feels th at, " We are involved in excavating sites doomed to destruction. We m ust get all the information from th em that we can before they are gon e.

'N on-tra ditional' artist in co r porates humor, wit 'High School' concludes Wiseman film series

William Wiley, a California artist of international fame , will exhibit his recent works in the Boehm Gallery at Palomar through April 29. Wiley is a non-traditiona l artist who creates an artistic experience that is totally original. "Wiley's beautifully crafted paintings , graphics and sculpture invite the viewer to participate in an extended journey through time, space and a variety of m oods," says gallery director Russell Baldwin. Exploring a myriad of media possibilities, "Wiley's works have spun through a hundred changes. From the time of his first solo exhibition at the San Francisco Museum in 1960 to last year's oneman show at the Museum of Modem Art in New York, he has experimented with just about everything: construction, sculpture, cost u me an d set design, collaborative drawing, performance art, printmaking, conceptual art and painting," states a California Living writer in an article about Wiley. Wiley incorporates humor and wit into his art works. In recent years he has added the element of words to his works; carved into wood, burnt in to leather and scrawled on paintings and drawings. As puns, they add a non-specific dimension, like time to space. The h umorous double meanings incorporated in Wiley's works include "Nomad is an island," "Modern Skullpture," "Enter rested?" and "How to Chart a Coarse." Currently a teacher at the University of California at Davis, Wiley's influence is said to be incalculable. Bruce Nauman, a now famous former student of Wiley's, calls him "th e stron gest influence I've had. Wiley had a great personal involve-

Graphic A rts/Journal is SNEAK PREVIEW SCHEDU By Warren Wilson After nearly four months of nail-biting, headknocking anticipation, the Graphic Arts and Journalism Departments have finally settled in their new home. Located on the far north end of campus, the new buildings were scheduled for moving into during Christmas vacation, but our notoriously wet winter postponed the moving date to semester's break. Continuing rains slowed construction even more, and the two departments were forced to wait until Easter before making use of the finished product. With 5,400 square feet, the new home is three times the size of the old facilities, where the Graphic Arts / Journalism Departments have holed out for about twenty years. "This moves us into a very efficient kind of operation," notes James McNutt, Graphic arts advisor and the sole designer of the new facilities. Fred Wilhelm, Journalism advisor, is also ecstatic over the new operation. "For the first time

AT LONG LAST the new Graphic Arts/ Journalism facilities are ready, (upper left), as crews from both departments can finally go to work on their respective duties, (left). One of the featured items of the new operation is the $32,000 printing press, (lower left), which offers more safety and efficiency than the 13year-old model it replaced. Another new item is the Betadoor, an automatic opening device which operates on the same principal as the hydraulic doors at supermarkets, (lower right), leading the way to the graphics darkroom.


m Moves to New Home LED THIS TUESDAY AT 2:30 in school history, we are working in an atmosphere that is conducive to good journalism," he said. "The end result will be a better paper for the students and staff." In order to meet the printing demands of a fast moving junior college, which in addition to the Telescope include Focus magazine, and the multicultural studies Grapevine, and various other duties, a 13-year-old 20-inch press was replaced with a new, $32,000, 25-inch press, which offers much needed versatility in addition to being safer and more efficient. "Working conditions weren't even safe they way it was before," said McNutt. A "sneak preview" of the fine new facilities will be available Tuesday at 2:30p.m. Says McNutt, "I call it a 'sneak preview' because we're having an open house in the near future. " Now settled in their immensely improved environment, the two departments can look toward making a better product. Perhaps typesetter Lett y Brewster put it in the right perspective.

The last part of this century has been aptly labeled " The Age of Information. " If so , then the carriers of that information - radio, television , records , film , photography , the press , and the visual arts- are of prime importance and interest. The inter-connection of the new media is both the problem and the challenge . A person managing in this era had better know the concepts and language of the print shop , the photo studio, the industrial filmmaker , the television technician , advertising design people, and the newspaper desk . At Palomar, we want the student involved. Because of our expanding facilities on campus, Palomar is quickly becoming the media center for North County . We hope this week will explain our programs.

MEREDITH TO WORK WITH JUMPERS

Lloyd stretching for the Olympics By Mike Johnson

Hers is a labor of love. She is versatile, good looking and soft-spoken. But don't let that fool you. Yoga and nutrition instructor Meredith lloyd is a recognized expert in her field. She was recently appointed by the U.S. Olympic Committee to help the nation 's top high jumpers and pole vaulters with nutrition and flexibility: a six-year job to conclude with the 1984 Olympic Games. The main assistant to Doc Marrin's defending state champion track team, Meredith had helped build such state champions as hurdler Roland Joe Siai Siai, steeplechase record-holder Shannon Laird, javelin thrower Luc Laperriere and this year's Tom Petranoff, one of the nation 's most promising javelin throwers. She knows how to build winners, and utilizes such advanced techniques as kinesiology, biomechanics, yoga flexibility training, vascular holding points , and meditative psychology. Just come to a track meet and watch Palomar's track team do their crazy exercises. "We're combining as much as we know by incorporating everything that is available now," explains Meredith. Her book , "The Body Owner's Manual For The Athlete," is scheduled to be published this week and will be utilized by Olympic athletes as well as the Comet track and cross country teams. All in all, Meredith is one of many

talented instructors that put Palomar on a different caliber to other junior colleges. It's called the winner's edge. Presently working on her master's degree in sports medicine at UCSD, she has been at Palomar for the past five years teaching Hatha Yoga, Nutrition for the Athlete, and ProPrep track and field. Regarding her Olympic selection, a job of considerable prestige, Meredith was approached by an Olympic representative while speaking at the National Track Coaches Clinic. She and Marrin were invited to speak on some of their unusual techniques in injury prevention and rehabilitation. "After g1vmg our talk at Anaheim , a gentleman came up and started talking about what the United States was trying to do now for the Olympic athletes," recalls Meredith . "They're trying to hopefully help them compete a little better with countries like East and West Germany. "He then asked me, 'How would you like to work with us on flexibility and nutrition?' And I just said, 'yeah.' "It's prestige and educational for me," she continued, "because I'll be involved with people who are tremendously qualified in their areas, not just in this country, but in many other countries as well." Meredith explained that the United States is still far behind other countries in its research . "We have asked the Russians , the Europeans

HR tops Saddleback; Robinson leads

flrsttourna_ment Comets upset by San Diego City at Torrey P1nes Using a balanced scoring attack, the Palomar golfers won their first Mission Co nferen ce tournament of the year wh en the Comets had the low score Monday at the tourney hosted by San Di ego City. Palomar fired a391 total at the par 7'2 Torrey Pines South course to nose out Southwestern (395) and Saddleback (396). Jack Collier's 76 led a group of low Comet scores . Co llier's total was followed by Mike Matula a nd John Ashworth, each with a 77 , Mike Myers with a 79, Steve Moran with an 82, and Jon Brockman with an 83. " We're beginning to improve and starting to get some balanced scoring, " said coach Bob Lusky. " With some hard work, we have a chance at the championship. " Lusky gave a lot of credit to his numbers seven, eight and nine players, who are called the "rabbits" of th e team. "The rabbits (Jim Anderson, Troy Gutherie, Phil Machamer) have really been putting the pressure on the other golfers. Everybody is beginning to shoot low ;;cores , and that will help going down the stretch." Palomar is currently involved with the Imperial Valley Invitational , which conclud es today at the Imperial Valley Country Club. The Comets return to Mission action at the Citrus Tourney Monday before visiting Mt. San Jacinto Thursday a nd College of the Desert Friday in the final tune-ups for the co nference tournament May 1.

Half-Marathon to be run Saturday for Olympics A half marathon will be held tomorrow to benefit the North County Special Olympics. There will be competition at three different levels, men , women. and master. Jackets will be awarded to the top finishers. Entry fee for this special event will be $3. Registration will begin at 7 a.m., the morning of the race.

By Rick Hoff Don't judge Palomar's baseball team by the type of weather the Comets play in. Saturday: an exciting 7-5 victory over Saddle back in the rain; Tuesday: a disappointing 53 loss to San Diego City in the bright s unshin e. It was Cli nt Goodwin's three-run homer in the eighth inning of Saturday's game that gave Palomar its seventh win in eight games. Goodwin's bat helped support the relief pitchin g of Paco Gonzalez, who went seven inni-ngs for the win in his longest outing since injuring his arm at Palm Springs.

Gonzalez also pitched four innings Tuesday in relief of starter Ken Putnam, who took a five-hit shutout into the sixth inning before four straight singles and a two-run double turned a 2-0 Palomar lead into a 4-2 deficit. Putnam had pitched a five-hit 2-1 victory over San Bernardino Valley, the state's top team, in his last start, but the

results were different against San Diego. Head coach Jim Clayton planned on throwing Dave Holston Thursday when Palomar hosted San Berdoo. Holston hurled a 6-2 victory over Chaffey last week in a game highlighted by excellent bunt execution by the Comets and a deep home run by designated hitter Pete Zajda. Clayton was pleased with the defensive play of the Comet infielders Tuesday. Shortstop Jim Scranton, who is batting over · .400,made a number of major-league plays, while Butch Chism, who has 30 runs batted in, continues to play steady at third, as does George Hinshaw at second. It was Chism's two-run triple to deep left-center that gave Palomar a 2-0 third-inning lead in Tuesday's game, which dropped the Comets' record to 10-6 in the conference and 15-10 overall. Chism, Scranton, Hinshaw and Chris Alberico each had two hits as Palomar collected 10 hits but stranded too many runners.

Alberico was one of the many heroes in Saturday's win over Saddleback. The game started in a light rain, which eventually halted play in the second inning, before the sun came out. Alberico, who reached base four times, wiped out a 2-1 deficit with a two-run homer off the scoreboard in center. Alberico's blast came in the bottom of the fifth, and after a single run came across in the sixth, Goodwin ripped his shot to right on a full count to boost the Comets to a 7-2 advantage. Mike Hargas, who is scheduled to pitch Saturday at Riverside, started against Saddleback and gave up a pair of unearned runs before Gonzalez came on in the third to pitch four straight innings of no-hit ball before the Gauchos finally scored three in the ninth, an inning Gonzalez should have been o•Jt of without any damage. Alberico also doubled and singled on the day, and Porter Wyatt hit a double and a single to pace an 11-hit attack.

Women blanlc Citrus for 12th Mission net win Preparing for their upcoming match against University of San Francisco on Friday, the Comets trounced Citrus 9-0 last Tuesday. The win raises the league leadi ng Comet's record to 12-0. At time of publication, the Comets were scheduled to meet Saddleback for the league championship. Overall the Comets mark is 16-1. "We played good doubles," said Coach Nan Haugen referring to the Citrus match. "We've been working on rushing the net and being more aggressive." Th e Comets host Riverside on Monday at 2 p.m. and compete in the Ojai Invitation a l Tournament nexy Wednesday through Saturday. Th e conferen ce tournament is held the following weekend. All six of the Comets singles matches were easy ones losi ng only nine games compa red to winning 72.

and the Rumanians, who have been doing a lot of research in physiology. for some of their material so that we won't be duplicating. "They were very reluctant. They 'll take you to the outside of the laboratory and show you the outside of it, but they won't let anybody inside. So we're going to h a ve to start in square one and do the research ourselves. They don't intend to share it with anyone, from what I understand ." Working with such world class athletes as high-jumper Dwight Stones and pole vaulter Mike Tully. Meredith will also be responsible for , eight "elite" younger athletes to groom them for the 1984 Olympics. Corresponding with the athlete;; year-round on nutrition and fl exibility, she will meet with them twice a year for four days at a time. " It's not like it has been before, where everybody was workin g out on their own ... in different areas with different coaches," she explained. Just what makes a successful athlete besides natural ability a nd extreme luck? "Athletes who know what they want a nd are willing to work to get it. Nobody becomes a good athlete without work. But they also have that confidence. 1\·aining hard , setting goals and feeling that they are worthy of meeting those goals is important." Sounds like a simple formula for any world class athlete. At a cut above, Meredith lloyd knows. For hers is a labor of love.

Reese Weigandt continued her superior style oftennis with a 6-0,6-0 win over Lori Bevalacqua. "Reese is very deceptive on her shots," said Haugen. "She has terrific spin on the ball." Karen Farrington gave up only a single game to Dana Sampson winning 6-1, 6-0. "Karen's just outsteading her opponent," said Haugen. "She places the ball and waits for her opponent to make a mistak e. She has a terrific forehand." Jill Brady lost only two games in romping lisa Domenquez 6-1 , 6-1. Laura Mehaffey upped h er singles record to 16-2 in a 6-0, 6-1 win over Colleen Hawblited. Dianna Scaccia clinched the victory for the Comets, defeating Marion Manfre 6-1 , 6-1. The final singl es match went to Ellen Etherton 6-1, 6-2 over Joanne Turner. Kathy Corona won a practice match

over Karen Henning 6-0, 6-1. In doubles play , the Comets loss only nine games in three matches. Weigandt and Farrington teamed up to defeat Bevalacque and Sampson 6-1, 6-1. Brady and Mehaffey topped Domenquez and Hawblited 6-0,6-3 . The final game of the match went to Corona and Scaccia 6-1, 6-3 over Manfre and Henning . Even without the play of their number one singles player , Weigandt, th e Comets defeated Southwestern 8-1 last Thursday. All six singles players won their matches to clinch the victory. Scoccia and Reiko Hamblen both defeated their opponents 6-0, 6-0. The doubles team of Scaccia and Corona recorded the only loss for the Comets losing to Jayde Wright and Briana Elliott in three sets, 1-6, 6-2, 3-6.

swimmers past Southwestern Men fall, 65-39; prepare for conference tourney

Even though the women swimmers defeated Southwestern in their finale, 74-57, and the men lost to the men 's team , 65-39 , both prepare for their biggest test this weekend as they compete in the Mission Conference Fin als. The winner of the conference finals, held at San Bernardino, will be crowned as the conference champs. Next weekend , the Comets compete in the Southern Ca liforni a Finals. The womens Southern Cal. Finals will be held at Cypress and the mens at Cerritos. State Finals will be held May 4-6. Backed by triple winner, Patti Robinson a nd double winner, Sandy McHale, the women's team finished their regular season at 5-0. Robinson captured victories in the 200 IM with a time of 2:26 , 100 yard freestyle at 1:01.4 and th e 500 yard freestyle at 5:40. Robinson 's time in the 200 IM qualifies her for direct entry into the state finals. She also has qualified for the state meet in the 200 and 500 yard freestyle. McHale , a junior college AllAmerican, qualifed for the state finals in the 50 yard backstroke with a time of 30.8. She also captured the 100 yard backstroke at 1:08.5. Donna Jo Chenney finished first in the 100 yard fly, swimming to a time of 1:06.8. She also finished second in both the 500 yard fly and the 100 yard IM. Both the 200 yard IM relay team and the 200 yard freestyle relay team captured wins at Southwestern with times of 2:04.2 and 1:49 .5 respectively. Both relay teams a lso have direct en tries into the state finals. "Depth will probably win the conference meet," said Coach Patti Bruce. "Were seeded first and second in almost every event."

Duaf-meefs finished; track prelims Tuesday There 's no doubt that Palomar's chances of winning this year's Mission Conference track finals are as good, if not better than any other team in the conference. There's no doubt that the Comets would love to make up for this year's 3-4 conference dual-meet record with a good showing at Tuesday's prelims and Friday's finals. There is some doubt as to whether head coach Doc Marrin will have the people to do it with. Five of his top athletes watched Wednesday as the Comets completed the dual-meet season with a 96-49 victory over San Bernardino Valley on the Palomar track. And another member of the team, sprinter Tim Edet, suffered a pulled muscle while winning the 100-meter dash . But Marrin says that all of his guns will be ready for Tuesday's trip to Chaffey College and the prelims. The finals will also be held at Chaffey the following Friday. Here's how it looks for Palomar's chances of defending the title: An almost sure champion should come in the form of javelin thrower Tom Petranoff. He is the defending conference champion, he has yet to lose against JC competition this year, and he has already uncorked a 261-7 heave earlier this sea von. An event projected to be Palomar's deepest at the beginning of the season, the high jump, could bring some key points if Dan St. Hiliare and Mike Minnich are recovered from minor injuries in time for Tuesday. St. Hiliare, who has a lifetime best of 6-11 and has cleared 6-8 twice this year, hasn't jumped in nearly a month due to some stretched leg muscles. Minnich didn't compete in any event Wednesday while resting some sore leg muscles, and along with Mike Johnson, who is recovering from being hit by a discus, the Comets could have a good chance to do well here. If Minnich is healthy Tuesday, the Comets might do well in the 110meter high hurdles. Minnich has lost only once this year in that race while running in the low 15s. Min-

nich's place Wednesday was taken by Tom Reedy, who ran the best high hurdle time by a Comet this season and won in 14.8. Reedy also placed second in the 330 lows Wednesday to steady teammate Reimon Fundin, who has been running in the low 54s while remaining unbeaten in his specialty. Three key spots for the Comets, sprints, distances and horizontal jumps , will depend on how ready Edet, Curt Ljung and Pat Chigbolu are Tuesday. Edet has a 9.7100-yard dash and a 10.5 100-meter dash time to his credit, but after injuring his wrist over the weekend at the Santa Barbara Relays , Edet pulled up limping after winning the 100 Wednesday. Ljung, meanwhile, has been steady in winning the 1500 and 5000 meters this year, but he sat out Wednesday with tight calf muscles. And Chigbolu, who has a 49-4 effort in the triple jump this year and also competes in the long jump, hopes to be competing Tuesday after reporting to the hospital this week feeling sick. Even without Ljung, Palomar swept the 1500 and 2-mile, as well as the 800, in Wednesday's meet. Jeff Hutchings and Mark Favela tied to win the two-mile , and those two placed 2-3 to Thorn Hauser in the 15oo. In the 800, Hauser placed third behind winner Max Slimp and Kent Co i_·g points in the finals could come from the pole vaulters. Don Hancock equaled his season best Wednesday with a 15-4 effort, and teammates Leonard Snider and Ambrose Courteau took2-3. Courteau has also cleared 15 feet more than once this season. In Chigbolu's absence in the jumps, Hassan Ahmad took first in the triple and second in the long, while the Comets also showed a bright light in the middle distances , as Steve DeLong and Kevin Smith placed 1-2 in the 400 before DeLong equaled his winning time of 50.9 in the final leg of the mile relay as he and teammates Cox, Jim Tunnell and Smith won by five yards.

MEHAFFEY 14-2/N SINGLES

Laura's move a good one By Carmen Rodriguez Moving to Solana Beach was a lucky break for Laura Mehaffey. On top of being able to live near the beach, Laura had also moved into one of Southern California's most prominent tennis communities. That was four and a half years ago and today Laura plays number four singles on Palomar College's second nationally ranked women's tennis team. "Most people think that just because you don't learn to play tennis at age seven or eight you'll never be really good," she said. "I had just played a very small amount of recreational tennis when I started going to school at San Dieguito High School. I guess my teacher saw some potential in me and asked me to play on their tennis team." "After Torrey Pines High School was built, I transferred over there and continued playing tennis. I also started at forward in basketball for two years and our team ended up winning the Coast Conference," she said. "After I graduated from high school I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do so I started going to Palomar. I had not even heard a bout their women's tennis team." Laura said she then went on to sign up for the women's intercollegiate tennis class which was taught by Nan Haugen, a former USC tennis star. "Coach Haugen talked to me about the team and I decided to go ahead and play tennis instead of women's basketball. It was really a hard decision for me to make because in high school it is easier to play different sports," Laura noted. "I guess the reason that I picked tennis is because here in North County you can play it year round and it's always easy for me to find somebody to play with. I also think there are more opportunities for women in tennis right now then there are in basketball." This year Laura'srecordstandsat 14-2 in singles. She has also moved · up one notch from her last year's

position, something that is really important for several reasons. "Last year when the women's tennis team · got to go to the nationals in Florida they took four women. I missed going by one person because I was number five," she said. "But this year it looks like we may go again and besides next week we are going to San Francisco to play San Francisco State's Varsity." "After San Francisco we'll be going to the Ojai Tourney near Santa Barbara. I've never done that much traveling and I am really excited about the competition we will have," she said. Currently, Palomar's tennis team just does not seem to have much competition or they just seem unbeatable at times. Their present conference record now stands at 11-0 and their overall record at 13-1. Their only loss was in a practice match with Golden West College of Huntington Beach. "Palomar's women 's athletics program is so much more developed than any other junior college's I've

Paced by the bat of catcher Teri Bucher and the pitching of Kathy McAleer and Pat Romero, the Palomar softball team will be taking .a two-game winning streak into today's game at College of the Desert in Palm Desert. Bucher hit two home runs in as many games this week as the Comets rebounded from Friday's3-1 loss at San Bernardino Valley by ripping Riverside City on Tuesday, 10-1, and Chaffey on Wednesday, 82. The win over Chaffey improved Palomar's record to 12-3 and kept the Comets on top of the Mission Conference standings along with three other teams.

player sitting on the sidelines with a back injury, the Palomar netters · dropped another 5-4 decision Wednesday, this one to Mission Conference-leading San Diego City. Wednesday's loss dropped the men's record to 8-4 in conference and 8-7 overall. Palomar was scheduled to meet Saddle back yesterday as the conference slate wound down to its final stages. The Comets will be concentrating this week on the Ojai Tournament, which begins Wednesday and continues through Sunday. Rob Hogrefe, one of Palomar's top singles players, injured his back in a doubles match in an earlier meeting with Citrus and was unable to play Wednesday. Still, Palomar manag-

seen," said Laura. "Plus the coaching here is excellent. Coach Haugen really taken her job seriously and she knows more about tennis than anybody I've ever talked to ." In addition to her tennis, Laura says she participates and enjoys many other sports. "In high school I played basketball, pitcher on the softball team, field hockey a nd also setter on the volleyball team," she said. While she was at Torrey Pines, Laura also was editor of her school yearbook, "Free Flight " which took second place in the county wide yearbook competiton held that year. She says she would like to transfer to Long Beach State on a tennis scholarship and study commercial art.

LAURA MEHAFFEY

And when she is not on the court at Palomar she can usually be found running somewhere around the campus. "Right now I a m running around 20-25 miles a week and trying to build up to more," Laura said. "Many women athletes and athletes in general just don't seem to realize how important conditioning is. Here at school we have our own women's trainer and she h as really driven the importance of preventive conditioning into me." And if tennis, running and school were not enough, Laura also works as a cashier at a local drugstore near her home. "I guess I'm lucky that I come from an athletic family. My parents are both golfers and my dad plays tennis. My brother also is a super baseball player." Laura said that when she first started at Torrey Pines, the women's athletic program had not really developed, but by the time she had left she had seen a marked improvement in the attitude of women towards sports.

"I think many of them are starting to come around and find out how much enjoyment they can get out of it. I guess I'm lucky because I already did," she concluded.

Backed by 16 points from forward Carol Wardrop and 10 points from Cindy Hollins, the Comets cagers got back onto the winning track with a 88-35 romp over Chaffey last Friday night. "Everyone played well ," said Coach Vi Jeffery. "If we would have played this relaxed against MiraCosta we would have won." The regular season comes to an end next Wednesday when the Comets travel to Southwestern for the league championship. The State · Championship takes place May 11, 12, 13. Twelve different players put points on the board against Chaffey. Hollins, usually a second stringer, came in for Sara Jane when she picked up her third foul with 13 minutes left in the first half. At Jane's departilre the Comets led 10-4. Chaffey came back to bring the deficit to five, but that was the closest they would coine the rest of the game. The Comets increased their lead to 21 at halftime leading 44-23. Chaffey scored a mere 12 points in the second half compared to 44 for the Comets. Moore, lin Majors, Julie Smiley, Karen Estes and Annette Gaudet all pumped home eight points. Jane, playing only 10 minutes of the game, scored seven points, followed by Sherry Christian with six. Jane averages 14 points a game for the Comets. Wardrop and Hollins each finished with 12 rebounds. Schwalbach pulled down six, followed by Jane with four. The locals shot 49 percent from the floor , hitting 40 of82 shots. Palomar

Jane and Schwalbach shared the scoring title, each pumping home 12 points. "We had a good balance attack," said Jeffery. Overall the Comets record is 17-3.

Patti Hays, a flight attendant aspirant who is presently pursuing a travel career certificate from Palomar, says she heard about the club in a class she was taking. "I'm really glad to have the chance to go flying and to be around people who
