Writer mourns

violent tragedy at Kent State

By Ken Baer Eleven years ago this past Monday, four students were shot to death by National Guard troops at Ohio's Kent State University.

Although the four deaths are irrevocable, today because dead is final and there is no way to breathe life back to those students, the situation at Kent State can be used to evaluate political events of today.

Back in the Sixties and early Seventies, America's involvement in Vietnam was strongly protested, especially on the nation's college campuses. There was a prevailing anti-establishment attitude toward government activity and decision making.

The new Reagan administration, greeted with open arms and billed as "a new and better America," has been supporting the volatile plight of El Salvador's civil war with fianancial aid and military advisors. Some view this support as being the start of "another Vietnam ."

Indeed we should be wary of these actions, for the end result could be disastrous.

Also, President Reagan's decision to carry on with ex-President Jimmy Carter's resumption of the peacetime draft, although not surprising, is not a good deal. Resistance and vocal protest are the only ways to let the administration know that their decision is bunk.

Another issue to be dealt with is gun control. The biggest argument is the sale of guns to would-be criminals and the damage they are capable of inflicting. But at Kent State, the killers were not "criminals," they were members of the United States National Guard, given direct orders to fire with legal weapons.

We have seen the assasin's work in the worst ways: John and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Abe Lincoln and most recently, John Lennon. Exactly where do we draw the line? Guns are designed to protect but more often destroy.

Let me end this tribute to the four students in Ohio with a couple lines from the Rolling Stones: " I shouted out,'W ho killed the Kennedy's?' when after all, it was you and me."

Question of the week: Did you vote in the latest ASG election?

Why or why not?

No, because I didn't know about the election, and I didn 't know the people who were running, and it didn't concern me that much.

- Patty McNerney

No, I don't get involved in school activities because it doesn't contribute to my personal learning experience.

-Brian Smith

BITS AND PIECES ... if you missed the animation extravaganza in P-32 last Friday(May 1), you blew it.

The two Disney shorts were outstanding, but the MGM-Tex Avery production of "King Size Canary" stole the show.

Avery's timing, sense of humor, and exaggerated characters made this cartoon one of the greatest ever.

The main event was the showing of "Pinocchio", the second greatest feature length cartoon ever made. The first, of course, is another Disney classic, "Fantasia."

Disney's use of detail, down to Jiminy Cricket walking through the cobblestone during the rain, and the entire scene with the whale, shows what masters the men in the Disney studio really are.

One last mention of cartoons, Disney has a new one coming out soon, called "The Fox and the Hound." I doubt if it will be on the scale of "Sleeping Beauty", or "Snow White", but if it's made by Disney, it has got to be good.

New films for this summer from Columbia Pictures include Cheech and Chong's "Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams".

The pair start out as ice cream salesmen(lots of room for drug jokes there) and end up taking charge of a nuthouse.

"Nobody's Perfekt" is a lunatic comedy about three wronged guys who decide to get even, trying to fight city hall, you might say.

The movie stars Gabe Kaplan, Alex Karras, Robert Klein and Susan Clark.The film's director , Jerry Bonerz, is making his directing debut. You may remember Bonerz in the role of the dentist on "The Bob Newhart Show."

Bill Murray has a new film upcoming, called "Stripes". Murray loses everything, like his job, his car, his apartment, and of course, his girl friend. So he decides to join the army. I guess that's where the comedy comes in.

The real jewel coming out of the Columbia studios looks like a thriller named "Happy Birthday to Me". It's a psychological thriller starring Glenn Ford and Melissa (Little House on the Prarie) Sue Anderson.

"Happy" centers on a series of sinister disappearances on the campus of an exclusive private school.

The film is billed as an" Alfred Hitchcockstyled suspense mystery", which immediately grabs my attention.

Yes, I voted to take the $600 away from the ASG president. I didn't vote for any of the people.

- Ron Barbish

No, I didn't because I felt really pressured when so many people asked me if I voted. I didn't agree with a lot of things they talked about.

- Mary Kay Aspinall

No, I didn't like anyone who ran.

- Laura Holmes

Yes. I wanted to stop William Nelson from wasting student's money.

- Erich Bennett

From the bottom of my heart Usually I'm pretty good about paying off those old lOU's that I find down at the bottom of my wallet.

But there's one IOU I haven't been able to pay off, and I doubt I ever will. That IOU is from you, Ma, and no matter what I do; I'll never be satisfied with my payments.

I owe you, Ma, for all those times you were nightwatchman, listening for coughs, comforting a hlad nightmare, and making sure we were safe.

I owe you, Ma, for all the advice you gave us while we were growing up, like don't look cross-eyed, or else my eyes would stay that

way. Or how about always telling us to wear clean underwear, in case we got in an accident.

It was really something, Ma, the way you could make hamburger taste like sirloin, and tuna taste like turkey.

And if there were two pieces of pie, and three mouths to eat it, you figured pie was fattening and you didn't need it anyway.

The greatest thing about you, Ma, is that you don't want me to pay back my debt. And if I do, all that's required is a kiss and four words.

Those four words are,I love you, Ma.

The flipside, "Night Watchman", has that classic Petty sound, also. I am anticipating a fine album from him, and I'm sure I won't be let down .... and finally, Emmylou Harris has a different mix on her single, "Mr. Sandman".

Dancers to perform ballet, modern iazz Ballet, Modern, Jazz and Tap Workshop Class dancers will be performing May 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. in Palomar's Educational Theatre.

The program inch,1des works created in these workshops and features both student and faculty choreography.

The program will open with a contemporary abstract ballet choreographed by Dorothie Day Bleth and original score by Sandra Cotton, former dance accompanist and faculty member at Palomar. This dance depicts specific color qualities th_rough

movement and sound as perceived by the choreographer and composer.

The more classical styling in ballet will be represented in a short, airy work set to Bach's Concerto #3in D .

The modern dance section of the program has an "a Ia carte" flair . Mary N euru has choreographed three very different dances that range from the dramatic to the little bit crazy. Sprinkled in are two solos, one danced

by Matthew Bean, the other created and performed by Patti Bird. Music includes

Manheim Steamroller, Peter-Maxwell Davies and a 'pop' collage.

Barbara Auer Hammons, a new member of the dance faculty, is directing the final section of the program with the help of tap instructor Tracy Jeffrery and students. It is a collection of jazz, tap, and social styles that give some answers to the question, "All that's Jazz?"

Admission for the performances is $2. 50 for students, staff and senior citizens and $3.50 general.

OLD TIME RADIO REVIVED

KSM airs mysteries, dramas Some ofthe more mature students and staff will be able to remember sitting anxiously by the radio, waiting for their favorite drama, mystery, or comedy to come on the air during the 1930's and 40's.

Instructor Bob Sheppard's Performance and Acting for Broadcast and Film class has just finished

taping the drama, "Ann Rutledge."

This will be the first time that a radio drama will be broadcast over KSM, Palomar's radio station.

"There is a whole renaissance of radio drama," stated Sheppard.

Sheppard added that the author of "Ann Rutledge," Norman Corwin, personally gave permission for

Sheppa1·d's class to perform the play without having to pay any royalties.

The play was first performed in 1938 and starred Agnes Moorehead.

The class was split into three different groups, each one giving the same performance, and the best production will be picked to be aired some time in May over KSM.

CLASSES BEGIN MONTHLY

AWARD WINNER- CartoonistJeffHause recently took first place in the state journalism competition held in Fresno. Hause won the (Photo by Lois Humphreys) comic strip feature cartoon prize.

Local cartoonist perceives 'world as artist's table'

By Meg Kleeb To artist Jeff Hause a cartoon is worth at least a thousand words.

Hause, a 19 year old Palomar student, recently won a first place trophy for comic stripjfeature cartoon at the Journalism Association of Community College's state convention for his cartoon of presidential candidate, John Anderson. The caricature entitled "Rebel Without Applause" was featured in the Sept.

26, 1980 issue of the Telescope.

Hause insists that politics doesn't interest him. "My main interest is sex or the lack of it," commented Hause. "Be sure and print that; I'll sell more comics. Really, I'm an

introvert and I worry about myself. I don't know where I'm going right now."

However Hause is working hard to find out what direction that will be.

He is taking 12 units of art, concentrating on basic art courses such as life drawing and advanced classes such as animation.

His drawing teacher Doug Durrant says Hause works hard developing different techniques. " He is an excellent student because he is inquisitive, strives for perfection arid is highly motivated.

Durrant pointed out an Easter caricature Hause and a friend painted on his office window complete with bunny ears, buck teeth , a holster and a smoking carrot. "Jeff has a real flair for satire, a real wit, said Durrant. "What really makes Jeff unique is that as a 19 year old he has the possibility of selling a screen play.

Hause anrl. friend Dave Hines recently completed a movie script for

Edward R Pressman Productions.

Currently Pressman ("The Hand," "Carrie") is looking for financial backing. Hause describes the movie as "a hilarious hijinx." Animation teacher Everett Peck says that Hause's ability to cartoon is developed to a point where he can use it comfortably and that he also has an ability to write well.

"The important thing is that he's developed a way of looking at life and is able to express it.He could pursue several directions."

Hause is an outstanding student in the animation classes.He is doing an individual project, consisting of a one minute animated film of a back packer picking an apple."Animation is hard to do .It .requires you to think in three dimensions and Jeff is good atit.Jeffis basically a stand-up comic, only he draws,"Peck related.

Hause's past influences have had an effect on his emerging style.Both his grandfather and aunt are oil painters and encourage him.

His mother and father "gave him lots of paper and let him draw during sermons in church when he was young."Oneofhis first cartoons was of a cake with 200 candles which read,"Hurry up and die or we'll run out of candles."

By age seven Hause had done his first comic strip of two fat people who were so disgusted at being fat they went to a weight clinic and came home very thin. They were so pleased they celebrated with a big dinner and ended up fat again.

"I'm close to my mommy and daddy," Jeff said fondly, "Ilive with them." His new publication includes them in a very personal satire. His mother sees Jeff as having a future in cartooning or -advertising Hause's most immediate plan is to try out for Disney Studios as an animator.

His mother comments, "There is a certain gift or talent inbred in him.

He has a wit, I enjoy most of his cartoons, but some of them I don't understand."

With influences like Bugs Bunny, Woody Allen , TV's General Hospital and the New Yorker Magazine Hause is busy refining his own style.

"I get my ideas from the world around me, my thoughts and feelings . The world is my artist's table."

FUTURE TV PRODUCERS

Energy-saving lecture

Students win video prize

By Lois Humphreys What is the image that comes into your mind when you see the word, "producer?" Probably a cigar smoking, smooth-talking, affluentlooking man with a paunch, around sixty years old. Right?

Well, Palomar has two of its own a ward-winning television producers that don't fit the above description in any way (or shape).

Greg Eichman and Mitch Merback are both young, fairly typicallooking students, and by the look of their tennis shoes, certainly not affluent. They have recently been awarded second prize in the southwestern division from the American Film Institute for their production "Playing for Keeps."

The aspiring producers competed against university-level productions. In fact, UCLA won first prize both in the southwestern division, and first in the entire nation, so Greg and Mitch were not far behind.

The video tape was co-produced and directed by Mitch and Greg for last semester's TV Producing and Directing class, taught by Dana Hawkes and technically assisted by instructor Brad Stensberg.

Both students also wrote the script for their show. Greg wanted to create a story about overcoming odds.

"What would be simple? Marbles, I decided," explained Greg. "As it turned out, it wasn't so easy. The kids we chose to perform couldn't shoot!"

The plot of the story revolves around a young boy's struggle to gain self confidence and overcome his fears. He plans to enter a marble tournament thinking that if he only had some new marbles, he would be able to win, only to find out that the winning was within himself all along.

"We auditioned about thirty kids from a local school that has a good drama department and picked three young boys to play in the show," said Mitch. "Some of the writing and revising was done around the kids' personalities."

"In fact, we rewrote and revised all through the four months of shooting, even up to the last day," added Greg.

"We decided to keep the theme simple in scope," explained Mitch.

We added elements that were more artistic. We tied the mood transitions to the music, used a montage (several scenes around a common theme) to show the boys earning money, and used the medium to portray the kids' feelings.

For instance, when we used shots of the bully we used low camera angles so that he looked very domineering. By using high angles looking down on Johnny (the hero) his lack of self -confidence was more apparent, without dealing with a lot of dialogue."

What is it like to work on a real production with sophisticated equipment? It was a once in a lifetime opportunity," said Greg. We put everything we had into it. We are indebted to Palomar and the Telecommunications Department for the opportunity to produce this show."

Any problems during production?

"We did have some differences during the taping, but it forced us to take the best. I call it 'constructive strife'," stated Mitch. Becides that, he added, he lost his job, his girlfriend and was forced to live in

ASG hosts rock concert A concert featuring the rock groups 20120, Bratz, and Incognito will be held on the Palomar College golf course on May 23.

his camper for most of the semester.

What does the future foresee for these talented youung producers?

Greg and Mitch hinted at the possibility of having their own production company someday. In the meantime, Greg is going to continue his education at Palomar and work for Educational Television on campus. Both students intern at Southwestern Cable, co-producing local sports. Mitch was unsure of future education plans, but whatever he does, it would center around video production.

Mitch added that the "video medium is expanding so that soon we'll have to teach video literacy.

Video is going to be the standard way of communicating in the future."

If Mitch is correct, then some day we'll probably see two cigarchomping executives walking up the aisle to pick up their Emmys, and wonder why they look so familiar.

Those interested in seeing "Playing for Keeps" will be able to do so May 11 at 10:30 p.m. over KPBS, Channel15.

Tracie team's Chapman is first in finals

Softballers top ranked at regionals "We have a good chance to make it," commented softball coach Mark Eldridge about the possibility that bis team will take first place in the Southern California Regionals which started yesterday at Golden West.

Palomar is ranked number one in a field of eight schools which include four other league champions and three strong second place teams.

The regionals are a double elimination tournament. The two top finishers will advance to the state finals on May 22 and 23 also at Golden West.

Eldridge was quick to point out that his team has already played and beaten the other four league champions in non-conference action. "I really think we have the best team," he commented.

Of the state finals he said, "usually the Southern Regionals have the stronger teams but you never know. Santa Rosa and Chabot from the North I have heard were good."

Eldridge is optimistic about the state finals. "If we all stay healthy we should take it," he reported.

A week ago the Comets traveled to Fullerton for a nine inning nonleague contest. Fullerton, 1980 state champs and this year's South Coast Conference winners, went down to a 2-0 defeat.

Eldridge lauded several players in that game including pitcher Dana Tanaka, who struck out four batters and gave up only two hits and a walk.

Tanaka finished the season with a 19-0 record and a 0.10 earned run average. She pitched 134 innings and recorded 145 strike outs, allowing only 32 hits all season.

Tina Woodring's fine fielding efforts found praise from Eldridge.

Woodring snagged a line drive and sent it to first for a spectacular double play in that game. Woodring also pitches for the Comets, finishing the year with a 12-2 record and a 0.48 earned run average.

"Liz Mueller and Sharon Jensen both hit well against Fullerton," Eldridge added.

In the first inning of the game Sandy Muse doubled to right center, went to third on a passed ball and then scored on Tanaka's ground ball to right. An insurance run was added in the third when Liz Villa singled and scored on a sacrifice bunt and two singles.

"We just hit the ball good against them," boasted Eldridge."

Last Friday's Mission Conference Finals at San Bernardino had its highs and lows for the men's track team.

The cindermen placed a distant third with 83 points behind Citrus (who beat Palomar for the northsouth dual-meet title) with a team score of 107 and Saddleback (whom the trackmen beat in dual meet action earlier in the season) with a 103.

Individual highlights included a first place finish for Allen Chapman with a 9:52.42 time in the steeplechase. Isaac Greer, AI Kinchen, Jon Sebron and Bennie Sheffield teamed for a second place finish in the 400-meter relay with a time of 42.5.

Ron Reis and Mike Fritchman turned in a one-two finish in the javelin with respective efforts of2122 and 205-1. Greg Rackley and Alain Boisvert did likewise in the high jump with leaps of 6-8 and 6-6, respectively.

Pole vaulters Fred Machin and Jay Galland placed two-three with vaults of 15-0 and 14-8.
