Four Palomar students, who were running through the hills behind the college on Tuesday, were shot at by a suspect with a .22 caliber semiautomatic rifle.

The students, Bill Soqui, Ian MacGregor, Richard Medugno and Ralph Sanchez, weren't injured after the suspect fired eight or nine rounds from the top of a hill.

The suspect was described as 5'6" tall, 20-22 years old, with blonde hair, a small blonde moustache, wearing a brown floppy hat, yellowstriped shirt and brown pants, drove off in what is believed to be a white VW Bug. The Vista Sheriffs office was called and checked out the hill but found no evidence.

MacGregor, Medugno and Sanchez, all members of John Wood's Health 21 class, were on a five mile jaunt when around 12:15 p.m. they came running down a hill towards the college and passed the suspect. Sanchez and MacGregor acknowledged the young man as they continued down into the valley.

Bill Soqui, who was running alone, was headed up the side of the hill perpendicular to the course the three other runners were taking.

Soqui came within a hundred feet of the suspect when he noticed the rifle aimed at him. "At first, I thought he was shooting at a bird," recalled Soqui. "Then when I saw the barrel pointed at me , I said, 'Hey, man, watch out.' Then he pulled the trigger and I dived into the bushes."

Soqui stated that four shots were discharged towards him. When he dived into the bushes his glasses came off and he had to scramble on "all-fours " until he got back to the trail and then began running.

Meanwhile, MacGregor, Medugno and Sanchez were reaching the bottom of the hill when they heard the shots. MacGregor looked back and said, "That guy's shooting."

They continued to run and about 20 seconds later three or four more shots were heard. This time the bullets were aimed at the group of three. And then a couple of more rounds were fired back in Soqui's direction.

Books, articles and audio visual material which have been published

by Palomar faculty members will be on display. Refreshments will be served and everyone is invited to attend.

In its first action , the new ASG has appointed Neil Pedersen, Craig Peterson and Dale Heffernan to the ASG legislature.

The legislative body now has seven of its ten positions filled. Only four legislators were elected because other candidates failed to receive the required 25% of the ballots cast.

Anyone interested in participating in student government,

carrying twelve units with a 2.00 GPA, is advised to contact the ASG advisor, Noelia Vela in R-2. Three seats are still unoccupied.

The second action taken by the student government was to raise the parking fees from $3.50 to $5. The increase will go toward parking lot improvement and the implementation of Noche Road.

'Ugliest Professor' contest being held For those who have always wanted to get back at their "favorite professors" the Palomar Speech Team is sponsoring the first annual "Ugliest Professor on Campus" contest June 4-8. The winner will be the teacher who can make the ugliest face.

The contest will be held outside the student union from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday though Friday. Judges will be comprised of any students,

The three Health students continued running through the valley towards the college when they met up with So qui several hundred yards down the trail. Soqui asked them, "Did you see that guy shooting at me?" The three agreed saying they thought they were shot at too. The four raced back to the college.

Upon their return to the college, Medugno and MacGregor notified coach Woods as Soqui called the sheriffs office.

The hill, accessible by dirt roads from either Palomarcos Street or Currycomb Drive, was checked out

by Deputy Sheriff J.J. Patton.

Medugno, editor of The Telescope, following up the incident, called the sheriffs office that afternoon. Patton informed him that he didn't find anyone up in the hills.

Medugno then asked if the sheriff had found any shells and he said "no." Then he inquired on what could be done in the future and the officer said, "We can't post guards.

It's all private property out there."

Dissatisfied with the sheriffs findings , Medugno and staff photographer W. John Earner returned to the hill. There they found six gun shells in the bushes and not far away were two wwenbrau beer bottles. The bottles looked as if they had been set up for target practice.

Upon closer examination, they found that one of the bottles was still standing upright with a considerable amount of beer still in it.

This finding indicates that the suspect had probably been drinking.

Medugno then proceeded to interview residents of homes not far from the scene of the shooting.

Opinion

Editorials

16, too young to drive Welcome to California U.S. SenatorS. I. Hay aka wa, has come under fire for his recent statements about taking government controls off gasoline so that the price can go up to $2 or $ ~1 a gallon.

The Senator supports his statement with the belief that Arnercians must change their lifestyles and that the poor won't be bothered by the incre a se since the poor don 't own cars .

EDITORIAL The Senator is wise as h e is rich.($2 million dollars worth.) Arnercians have to chang€ their life styles. It's become terribly apparent now.

The gas situation now is comparable to the Stock Market Crash of a half-century earlier. In the Twenties , Americans were indulgent and spoke-easy. Then the Crash and in the Thirties , Americans life styles had to change.

In the Se ve nti ef-: . 1\nwri('<lllf-: \\'l •n· indu lgent and drovP-t' <lf-: _V l ' Vl ' l'\' \\·lwn · Now it's the gTPat ( ;m, ( 'r:1 :-d1 <lnd tlw Am eri can life st.v le hnf-: tn l'hnngl' 111' Americans wi ll sink .

One ofthe first measures I think should be taken in this life style change is to take away the 16-year-old's privilege to drive and move the driving age up to 18.

This move would take a percentage of gas users off the road wh o rea lly don 't need to be. Being abl e to driv e a t Hi has

been a luxury that Americans can now no longer afford. The great majority of 16year-olds live at home and are well within walking distance of their schools and part-time jobs.

Anoth er benefitofthe proposal. besides the reduction in gas consumation , could possibly be a reduction in insurance premiums. Drivers 18-25 would no longer be stra pped with the immature and accid ent pron e 16 year olds ' liabilities .

Speaking frankly with hindsight, I must say that when I was 16 I sho uld not have been behind the wh eel of a two-ton object reaching 60 mph. And I don't believe many other 16-year-olds I kn ew should have been either.

In that first year of driving , I was close to a serious accident several times.

Granted the first year of driving is a! ways the most precarious but if I had bee n 18 years of age I think my chances of death in an automobile accident would have been much less.

Driver's Education could still be offered in high school , it could just be moved from the sophomore year up to the senior year .

In this country you are considered an adult when you reach the age of 18.

Things would be much safer on th e roads and less gas would be consumed if only adults were allowed to drive automobiles .

GUEST EDITORIAL

Draft violates Constitution

By Kim Laurila

Hearings on bills aimed at resuming draft registrations by the end ofthis year were opened Monday, March 12, by a House Armed Services subcommittee.

The bills are an effort to eliminate a 550,000-person deficit in the ranks of the military reserves.

Rep. Charles E. Bennett (D-F1a.), whose bill would provide for automatic registration of 18-year-olds by use of Social Security and other available data , said the Army believed the all-volunteer force was an "outstanding success ," but that "compulsory registration might encourage youths to join the reserves and thus ease the shortage."

The All-Volunteer Force is basically a peacetime , defense-oriented army which has a reputation among army representatives as very successful.

While recognized as perfectly adequate to defend the U.S. , the A VF is not prepared for quick mobilizations for foreign wars, and was never designed to maintain the troop level required by dreams of empire.

Man can cooperate to use force but cannot be forced to cooperate. Defending one's life , family, property , and homeland is the supreme in cooperative effort.

To live or not is a matter of individual choice. It is a matter between man and his God, not between man and society.

Ultimate loyalties of people of religious faith cannot be dictated to by political bodies.

While specialists in armed defense may recognize the need for armed defense before the citizen's recognize the need, the specialists have only the obligation to advise the citizens and to await the citizens' decisions and orders .

For them to commit the citizens to armed action is aggression against the "enemy" and also against the citizens .

Armed action , even for defense , should never precede a large-scale voluntary willingness to participate in th e action.

There will never be safeguards against war if people can be committed to war by a few persons.

If people can be committed to war without a general willingness to risk one 's own life and fortune, not someone else 's, war will remain acceptable.

Whenever citizens fail to volunteer in significant numbers , the military action in question cannot qualify as defensive action.

Where there is the will to live, where life is prized and considered worth living, there will also be found the will to defend life.

The present consideration of reactivating registration and possibly the drafting of youths is a violation of th e U.S. Constitution. The task of Hamilton , Jay, and Madison was to sell the idea that there would not be too much government.

The Bill of Rights guarantees this but presently the promises made in the U.S .

Constitution are not being honored.

The legality of registration and draft is evidence that the Bill of Right's promise of the "right to life " and of no "forceable servitude " is a sham.

Under one plan, registration would begin by October. The name, address and other vital statistics of each 18-year-old co ul d be passed from "any" agency to the Selective Service System .

Boxing movies for Average joe; fighting is inherently dramatic

By Richard Medugno Boxing movies are without a doubt the best sports movies that Hollywood puts out.

Rocky, Som eboJ y Up There Likes M e, Th e Great White Hop e, The Champ, Hequiem for a H eav y w eight, and On the W aterfrant are all great movies about boxers or boxing.

Now, why all the success in such movies? Why is boxing such an appealing

COMMENTARY sport to thousands of sports and movie fans ?

Most likely it's because the plot is so uncomplicated. There's a good guy and a bad guy . There's a guy you're rooting for and a guy you hope gets his brains knocked in. The good guy has all the problems but in the end h e always comes through with a kno ckout in the big fight that sends the crowd to it's feet with cheers in their throats .

Boxing is so violent yet so exciting and even pleasing to watch. Watching a live bout or a movie gives one a chance to live vicariously. It gives one a chance to imagine one's self battling against evil and conquering it .

READERS' FORUM To the Editor : The Palomar Archery Team and myself would like to thank the many staff and students for th eir generous support of our recent Shoot-a-thon. It was through your support and contributions that allowed us to earn enough money for the men's team to a ttend the U.S. Intercollegiate Archery Champi onships at Texas A&M. There was no Paloma r College funding used at all for this trip.

To give the Selective Service access to Social Security and other records , an exemption from provisions of the Federal Privacy Act, w hjch restricts th e use of government records , would have to be granted .

Your encouragem ent a nd support helped to give th e team the tru e dedicated Palomar Spirit, that carried them through some tough tim es on th eir way to winning the United States Men's Championship.

Wi th Gratitude.

Mildred L. Ayers

Information which has been freely voluntet red h.v citi ze ns with Lh P un · derstanding that " all information would be kept confidential " could become available to th e Selective Servi ce with little justification.

Editor's N ote: Prior to th e th e tournam ent, Ms. A ye rs was vo ted by 198 colleg es and uni ve rsities as The United States Arch ery Co ach of th e Year.

It's such a good feeling to see the good guy fighting back with all the odds against him. It gives the average Joe an up-lifting feeling, sending him out of th e movie theater with a little better view of life. Good conquers evil or at least it's a draw.

So Hollywood, keep it up. Keep sending us heros to root for and feel good about.

If Rocky II is half as good as the first, it will be a great s uccess and worth whatever the price of admission.

Boxing is a sport that is inherently dra ma ti c. Good drama has conflict, clim a x and resolution.

In bo xing, th e conflict is two men wa nting to be the same thing, the winner.

Th e climax of a bout is either when som eone is knocked out or the fight ends.

And th e resolution is when one fighter's hand is ra ised in victory.

Hence, the present day boxer is an a ctor. Muhammad Ali is the Olivier of the ring , promoting his bouts with more flair th a n Hollywood and notwantingtoleave th e s potlight despite his age that makes him no longer a lead .

THE LITERARY PAGE My Sister, O.J. and Me

By Richard Medugno The following is a heart-warming short story about a life long ago when people were people and animals were animals and inanimate objects were inanimate objects.

This is the tumultuous story of unequaled love and tremendous hatred. This is the riveting tale of extreme courage and tragic cowardice. This is a compelling narrative of breath-taking beauty and heart-stopping hideousness. The turbulent, explosive, dazzling and chilling sage of mankind at its ultimate greatness and lowest worseness is revealed in the following .

In a capsuled nutshell, this piece which you are about to read, if I ever finish with this superlative description, is a spectacularly passionate yarn of overwhelming, electrifying events that cause two complex people of incredible talent to carry on a relentless battle against the universe.

So I shall begin this fasinating account of human nature which will no doubt be the newest sensational bestseller blockbuster of the literary world.

It was a cold November morning when I awoke to the sound of cascading and swirling water. I've always loved the sound a toilet makes when it flushes. It's piped music! I had three sisters with bladder problems, so almost every morning I awoke to the sound of music.

(My apologies to Misters Rodgers and Hammerstein.)

Anyway, it was a cold November morning, so I jumped out of bed sprang into my clothes. Then I leaped from my room and hopped into the kitchen. I used to like to pretend I was a pogo stick.

I was at the raw, ripe and dying on the vine age of thirteen. I had not yet experienced the responsibility a man experiences when he has responsibility.

But before this day was over I would be a man.

In the kitchen, I briskly opened the refrigerator. (You all remember those. It was like a closet that kept food cold.) I looked inside and was horrified to find there was no orange juice. I couldn't believe it. There was always orange juice in our refrige. Every morning we had orange juice for breakfast but this morning there was none. I thought to myself, how could one start a day without orange juice? Why, that would be like a day without sunshine.

I stepped back and shut the door. I was in shock. I opened the door of the ice box again, thinking that the first opening was just a bad dream. But once again I was horrified by the absence of citrus juice.

It was at that moment when I noticed my mother, with face in hands , sobbing at the dinner table. I spoke to her, " Hey, Mom, there's no orange juice." She burst into a woeful cry of affirmation.

"I know. I know. I know," she whined.

"No, this can't be true," was my reply.

Then confidently, "There must be some orange juice."

"None. NO. NO. There's none . None at all," she screamed.

"Not even frozen concentrate?"

"No!," she cried.

"Not even any oranges to squeeze our own?"

"No," she hollered.

"Not even any of that stuff the astronauts drink?"

"NO!!!" she belched and then proceeded to bang her head rapidly into the table. It is painful for a son to see his mother's head dribbled. So I tried to reason with her, "Mom, what's one cloudy day?"

Then she screamed out, piercing my ears despite the fact that Ididn 'town any ear rings. "Death. It could be death!"

"Mom, what are you talking about?

We're not goi ng to get scurvy for missing one day without Vitamin C." She then gathered all the strength in

her and said with a quiver in her voice, (She swallowed it when she was young. It came in handy when she was on her high school archery team.) "Your father, your two brothers and two of your sisters have the flu!"

"So?" was my reply.

"So I don't think they're going to make it unless they get some citrus juice." It was then that I burst into tears for even though they were members of my family, I still loved them.

"What are we going to do , Mom?" I asked in total remorse.

"I don't know, son . I just don't know.

It's up to you and your sister Michele to save this family. You see, I'm beginning to feel the bite of the bug myself. So it's up to you two," she said as she keeled over backwards in her chair.

Thinking fast, I decided that there were only two ways to get orange juice and save my family. One way was to quickly plant some orange seeds in the backyard and the second way was to go to the neighborhood store and buy some orange juice in a bottle.

My sister and I decided that I would plant and water the seeds and she would take the perilous ten-block trip to the store because she didn't like dirt.

Lookin!:! each other straight in the eyes, we shook hands , knowing that one of us would have to succeed or we would soon now in pain too.

Searching Philosophies

By Philip Lester Searching philosophies and old dreamers dreams Being fooled and overschooled, thats the way it seems Every generation looks in books of hate and war Is death the score that we are living for?

No heaven on this earth yet people will promise you Go this way, go that way o brother what to do?

Follow only one man: I think that you know who He's waiting at the door right now for you.

If you find that your truth is lying and your logic is all lost.

If you see that you can't see -that you can't pay the cost.

If there's room to clear your room and doom is coming true Come to the cross there is a place for you.

Thorns and nails are along the road; yet the load is really light.

If people laugh and put yo u down, remember that's all right.

Cause Peace and understanding is yours if you obey the truth and light and life will show the way.

ADAPTIVE PE INSTRUCTOR

Jeffery motivates program

By Kurt Loe What motivates a program that enables disabled students to receive exercise?

In the case of the Adaptive P.E. Program it is the instructor. Tracy Jeffery, originally from Vista, is currently running an adaptive

swimming and exercise class.

Her program incorporates exercises in the pool which gives the students an opportunity to increase their mobility. The pool is not the only place Jeffery's students work toward improvement, since they also participate in an exercise class

and a weight lifting class.

She accepts all types of handicaps, making the only restriction an ability to communicate in some manner. As Jeffery says, "I have to know when you're in pain or want out."

After spending two years at Palomar, she attended Cal State Fresno before returning to Palomar to teach swimming in the summer of 1977. During that time Jeffery began to receive phone calls inquiring about swimming for the handicapped. "I had a free hour and decided to give it a shot," commented Jeffery.

She got things started two years ago after the class was finally approved. Her swimming class started with six students and now it has tripled in size.

When asked about her apprehensions toward starting these classes she said, "I was not sure whether I could handle it emotionally or not, but after the first day I knew that's where I belonged."

Classes consist of five days in the pool as well as three days in an exercise class. Weight lifting is also being offered on Tuesday and Th ursday.

During these sessions for one hour each day, Jeffery attempts to increase the students' mobility through various exercises. These exercises range anywhere from basic swimming strokes to modified techniques, depending on the individuals' capabilities.

For several individuals she incorporates a stretching program which allows them to increase their ranges of motion.

As for the future , Jeffery plans on adding a patterning class which will provide chances for people, especially those in wheelchairs, to work on developing their motor a,nd patterning skills (crawling and rolling).
