CRAVEN AIRS FINANCIAL VIEWS
Faculty hears new senator By Jim Duffy Even though Senator-elect William Craven (R-Vista), said, "I failed to bring the crystal ball with me," he made a prediction while speaking to the Faculty Senate late last month. Talking primarily about the financial plight of the community college system in California and possible legislative action to aid school financing, he forecasted, "As far as what we're going to be looking at this coming year ... I would say we will probably be faced with "another bail-out bill similar to what we had last year." Then reflecting on his abi lity to act as a seer, he said , " I have a problem trying to really anticipate what the administration
may well do as relates to education. In my judgment the administration is not particularly disposed toward education as one of their prime priorities." Returning to the forecast he said, "I think that if we are talking about a bail-o ut bill, I think it will come from the surplus as it has before." Not completely agreeing to the surplus as a sol uti on to financial problems he said, " I don 't know that that is the best answer but I am sure that it will be the one approached." Craven brought up one ofthe problems of using the state mon ey in community colleges and his opposition to it when he said, "On e of the things that we've run into
before is that when the state comes in and dumps money into the systematic portion of your operation, there is a vitiation of local control which I think everyone is very much opposed to." He said, "There has been talk in some quarters of an increase in the sales tax to find the money to supply schools and talk of an increase in the personal income tax." Craven rem a rked that each had a certain feasibility about them but predicted that " ... they will not get off the ground by virtue of the governor and his edict of the past which says, 'I will not raise taxes."'

not just the ones who have ASG cards." Legislator Dwight Langham and Bob Fusco had argued that the people who buy the cards should receive some benefit from them and since the money received from card sales goes into the ASG treasury to support the loans, the cards should be required to obtain one. Kathy Martin, a legislator who opposed the card requirement, felt that charging the cost of a card to the loan olaced a serious financial burden o~ the student needing the loan. She said, "When someone asks for an emergency loan it means they really need the money. It doesn't mean much when you have it, but when you don't, it could mean a couple of meals." In other action, a committee was formed to investigate the removal and re-installation of the telephone to the Black Student Alliance's (BSA) office. Duane Gaston, vice president of BSA and members Tommy Clark, Gwen Jones and Bruce Cartwright were at the meeting to protest a previous legi slative decision to charge BSA for the removal and reinstallation of its telephone. Dr. John Schettler, assistant superintendent of business services, ordered the phone removed from the BSA office on September 12 in a memorandum which cited the "illegal splicing of telephone connections" as the reason. The phone was re-installed on November 17 when BSA and the ASG agreed on guidelines for telephone use that were approved by Schettler. The legislature was informed by the business office that they would be billed for the removal and reinstallation and in turn ruled to bill BSA. BSA is protesting those charges. It feels that since the phone was removed without prior notice, therefore not giving BSA a chan ce to correct any of the problems listed in the removal memorandam , it should not be required to pay for the removal or re-installation . The legislature, however, has said it would not pay th e charges beca use it was not its responsibility, but agreed that it was unfairfor BSA to be charged for them. The committee was formed with BSA and legislative members in order to gather all information co ncerning the phone removal and to recommend a course of action for
the legislature to take. The removal of BSA's phone prompted the legislature to draft a request to be sent to the administration asking that student organizations be notified in advance if equipment was going to be removed from its offices. Another committee was formed to recommend ways in which the legislature could attempt to correct the pedestrian crossing in front of the school on Mission Road. A student was fatally injured when struck by a car while attempting to cross that street on October 18. Since that accident there have been no safety precautions taken at the crossing to insure that an accident does not happen again. The legislature expressed a dissatisfaction with the present crossing situation and requested the committee to find ways in which the ASG could relate its concern about the danger to students crossing Mission Road to the authorities. Concerned with the lack of student input at legislative meetings, the legislature discussed ways in which to enco urage more students to attend and voice their opinion on ASG matters . It decided to publicize the meeting times a nd to invite all students who wish to attend. Also a decision was made to have coffee, cookies and punch available at the meetings as a possible enticement for more student input. This will cost $5 per meeting paid for by th e ASG. The legislature meets every Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m. in R-1.

Border fence is necessary The planned construction of two six 'mile sections of fence along the U.S. and Mexican border at El Paso/Ciudad and San Ysidro/Tijuana is a sound proposal, despite fire from several MexicanAmerican organizations, for several reasons: One : Economic control of aliens crossing t he border is necessary. The majority of illegal crossings takes place at the two above mentioned sites. Since more than half of the one million aliens taken into custody last year were apprehended in the vicinity of these sites, it is obvious that more control is needed about these areas. The proposal to hire up to 1000 more Border Patrol agents in these fiscally strained times to curb the flow of aliens is not likely to meet with much approval, although it is obvious that something must be done. Two: A nation must have autonomy over its own borders and must exercise the right to determine who shall enter onto its territory. At present, among the mass of illegal aliens is a small criminal element responsible for numerous robberi~s and murders of Mexican aliens
themselves as they illegally cross the border. The ease with which illegal aliens can cross the border is concurrently responsible for the increased crime rate in the border areas. Three: The cost to the U.S. taxpayer involved in the apprehension and transportation of illegal aliens, coupled with social and welfare services, runs into the many hundreds of millions of dollars each year, and the cost increases yearly. More control at the border will decrease the influx of illegal aliens and their associated expense. The motivation of the average young Mexican national to escape from a country with a crushingly high unemployment rate, reaching 50% in some areas, to the promise of a better life here is understandable and admirable. This same motivation has brought people from many countries to America and has helped to make it great. However, for the protection and well being of all, including the illegal alien, the process of immigration must be a regulated one, administered both intelligently and firmly.
Walking writer wary of 'whine' By Kevin Folan It used to be that driving your car to school, dodging homocidal truck drivers and suicide prone pedestrians was the most trying event ofthe day having to do with vehicles. But no, a new menace has arisen.
SATIRE Anxiously ambulating down one of Palomar's thoroughfares , wondering if that was a "D" or an "F" you received on that test your fragile composure is shattered ' by an ominous whine that is reaching a crescendo behind you. But wait, there aren't any cars driving on the sidewalks here. You step aside anyways,

"I'm sorry I was in your way," you yell facetiously, but Evel Kneviel's :second cousin is already fading out of sight. He couldn't really be meaning to hit anyone, you think, but what do thos.e five human silhouettes painted on the s1de of the cart mean? Up ahead, you find a student who apparently wasn't as alert as you were, judging from the tire tracks up and down her back. You give the victim assistance and offer her (a 65-year old lady whose seeing-eye dog has run off) condolences. Is Darwin's law applicable here as well as in the jungle? An hour later, bouyed by the good news (it was a "D"), you're walking along when you hear the same menacing whine again, and you know how those people felt in World War II when the Nazi Stuka bombers were attacking. Giving the cart a wide berth, you see it is the same one you almost confronted (from behind) earlier, except that the cart now has six silhouettes on it and a driver sporting a satisfied expression.
Quips and Quotes By Richard Medugno
A collection of thoughts while juggling the foibles of life: Is it possible to fall out of love? And if one does , will one need a parachute?
***
Dating girls is one of my favorite pastimes, of course, next to juggling the foibles oflife. I have a really good line to ask girls. I skip up to a cute little thing and without drooling one drop of saliva I say something witty like, "Could I date you?" She then says, "Well, I don't really know you that well, but okay." I quickly jump on the opportunity and blurt out, "November 17th, 1959?" "What?" is her reply. I was wrong. I'm always wrong on the first guess. I tried again, "May 26, 1960?" She cried out, "No, you fool. You fool." I was really in trouble now. I used my ace in the hole. "January 12th, 1957," I stated confidently. "Three strikes you're out!" she screamed with frenzied joy. I'm really in a slump. I wish I were Pete Rose. I bet he gets to first base with all the girls.
problem? Send it in to the journalism office and one of our competent writers will do nothing about it. Here's a sample letter: Dear Apathy Editor, Everyday I come to school and everyday the class is cancelled and when it isn't, the teacher gives a pop-quiz. Also I have the worst car ever made and the dealer I bought it from refuses to acknowledge the fact that a steer~ng wheel is not a luxury. One more thing I am constantly beaten up and robbed when I walk through a corridor between the Student Union and the cafeteria. Help me please. The Apathy Editor's response would be either 'Why should I?' or 'Don't bother me, we're trying to put out a paper that nobody reads.'

I have a fail-safe method for asking girls out. I always ask them while holding a razor blade to my throat. If she says no I simply slit my esophagus and she feels guilty the rest of her life and if she says yes, I cut myself to see if I bleed, so I'll know I'm not dreaming.

Proposition 13 felt by classes By Derace Orput Proposition 13 has struck the Foreign Language Department. This department, as with numerous others on campus has had its budget cut to the bare minimum. The department budget, covering supplies, hourly adult and student assistant and tutors, was cut from five to ten percent. Assistants, who corrected tests and helped with departmental work were eliminated, as was one of the three tutors. Students and instructors must now fend for themselves and get along as best they can. The Spanish classes, taught by department chairman Dr. Daniel Pratola and Mr. Allison Gronberg have been the hardest hit, since they have the greatest number of students . No solutions have been reached even after several appeals to the Financial Aids Department. Dr. Pratola has serious doubts that the current situation will get better, but he states that, "We can hope."

Palomar jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first game behind the serving of lnuise Sweig and Sylvia Quirk. The locals rolled up a 15-3 win. Things did not get any better for Chaffey as they watched the Comets reel off 11 consecutive points en route Showing signs of an emotional letdown after the previous Saddle back loss, Palomar had to struggle before taking the third game 15-9. Falling behind 4-1, the spikers fought their way back and went in front 10-9 in a Quirk kill . Dagny Ligon's stuff block wrapped it up for Palomar. Hoping for a share of a Mission Conference championship, the Comets tangled with first place Saddleback November 17. However, their chances were tarnished by the Gauchos as they dropped three tough games by scores of 15-13,15-6, a nd 15-11. Playing behind the powerful spiking of Quirk and setting of Sherry C hristian, the locals gave Saddle back all they could handle in the first game. Quirk got things started with her first of a record 21 kills giving the Comets a 1-0 lead. Palomar increased it to 5-3 before falling behind 9-5. The momentum changed quickly as the locals tallied four straight points and jumped in front 11-10 on a Quirk serve. Howeve r , Saddleback scrapped back a nd nipped Palomar 15-13.

The Griffiths tied it up quickly in the second half. However , Chamberlain picked up h er second goal of the day after receiving a pass from Missy Watkins and Palomar went ahead 2-1. Caren Hayek finished off Grossmont by slapping a shot into the goal with ten seconds remaining. Jeffery was impr,.essed with the play oflink Sue Dodd as well as with Chamberlain. "They're just good," commented Coach Jeffery after the Comets dropped a 2-0 decision to the San Diego State Aztecs November 11. The locals were unable to score any points as the Aztecs put two balls past goalie Cindy Hollins. According to Jeffery, "Rita Ferra! played real well," but it just wasn't enough for the Comets.

Barb Chamberlain demonstrates skill in hockey action Coming off a 1977 field hockey championship at San Marcos High , Palomar's Barbie Chamberlain has become one of the most consistent and aggressive players that Coach Vi Jeffery has on the women's hockey squad. Lacking the speed and the quickness that she's had in the past years, Coach Jeffery has a quick, aggressive and knowledgeable field hockey player in Chamberlain. Led by her all around play and ability the Comets have spent the entire year battling with some of the top Southcoast Conference teams for a possible berth in the playoffs. Chamberlain, one of a family of six children, is from the EscondidoSan Marcos area. She is not just a field hockey player but she likes to compete in tennis and volleyball. Due to scheduling conflicts this season, she was unable to tryout for the volleyball team, but plans to try out for the tennis team next semester. Her family is very sports oriented as she has a sister playing field hockey a t UC Berkeley and a brother playing college tennis. Feeling positive about this year's team, Chamberlain thinks that the Comets have a good shot at the playoffs, provided that they play aggressively and play together, which she feels is important to a successful field hockey season. Comparing the difference between high school and collegiate hockey, she said that she was used to playing with the same girls for four years and knowing where they would be on the field. However,this year she's had to adjust to new teammates and learn where they are. Playing field hockey does not put added pressure on her, as she commented that there's more pressure in individual sports like tennis.

By Kurt Loe Explosions in the Palomar gym during volleyball season are just the spikes of Sylvia Quirk. She is a member of the highly successful women 's collegiate volleyball team, which has just completed its season. There are many ways to describe her: quick and aggressive. However, volleyball coach Teri McFarland puts it best when she describes her as a very positive player. A native Vista~, Quirk has participated in many sports over the years, running track, and playing softball and volleyball at Vista High School. In spite of playing all those sports, she finds volleyball her favorite, because of its aggressive physical style of play and the constant possibility of being in on every play. Volleyball can be played on the sand or in the gym. How do they compare? She explains that in the six-man court volleyball, you have to concen trate more on where everybody is situated, rather than where your teammate is in the two-man beach game. She comes from an athleticfamily background. He father was a top hurdler in high school and her mom a basketball star. Quirk has an unusual sidelight to h er whole athletic career. Throughout, she has worn the jersey number 13. As she said, "It's always been the jersey nobody wanted. Everybody thought it was unlucky. I've always used it and it's always been good luck for me, so I continue to use it." However, last year her good luck streak was broken when she suffered a severely sprained ankle. As a matter of fact, it was injured to a point where she was out for six months . Fortunately for Palomar and for her, the injury has healed and will give her one more year of extra playing time. At that point, she should be refined enough in her other skills, according to Coach Teri McFarland, such as passing, blocking and digging where she could just about pick any four year school that she wants to go to . Quirk says she would prefer to go to Hawaii State, but will probably stay around in this area. Basically she's leaving the decision up to her coach, because she feels that the
coach knows the schools here and what would be best for her . How does Quirk compare to previous volleyball players at Palomar? Coach McFarland indicated that she's been one of the best she's ever had, and feels that she's only begun to scratch the surface of her skills. In addition to her spiking ability, Quirk is a complete player who also possesses the skills of good passing and blocking ability and "digs" balls very well. As for other goals, she's hoping to play on the Olympic volleyball team someday.
