Nelson conduct 'American Life' ends run prompts action
DRAMA SHOWS HYPOCRISY
"Scenes from American Life," A.R. Gurney' Jrs.'s comment about hypocrisy in human life. concludes its two-weekend run tonight and tomorrow at 7:30p.m . There will also be a 2 p.m. matinee on June 6. The play consists of a series of loosely-connected scenes spanning a period of time from the 1930's into the future , which depicts a police state, complete with detention camps, for the United States. An Irish nurse is not permitted to have men visitors; but her mistress is entitled to her own sexual sidelines. The preacher interprets the Bible in such a way that the rich are not scandalized or demoralized but actually pacified. A club mem her blackballs his best friend, a Jew, because he wants to save him from being hurt. Mature people are winos , ticketfixers with the police, order Army troops to fire into crowds , and are
two-faced ; one mother calls her son at college to find out where he keeps his marijuana , and another asks her daughter at her coming-out party if she has her diaphragm. Not all of youth is so innocent, either. There are the school chums, for instance, who pray to God with thoughts of malice and concupiscence. A native of Buffalo, New Yorkone of the many settings in the play Gurney attended Williams College and the Yale School of Drama (under a J . Walter Thompson Playwriting Fellowship, 1957-58).

SECRETARY QUITS JOB
Dispute causes probe By Ken Baer In an apparent personality conflict, a secretary in the Industrial Technology Department has quit her job over a dispute with a student custodian. Diane Sorrentino was a secretary in the employment of Dr. Jerome Latulippe. Apparently the conflict began May 5 over a request for toilet paper to be dispensed in the Industrial Technology bathrooms. Mrs.Sorrentino reported that the custodian, Isam Kattan , "yelled at me to not tell him what to do in a loud harangue." In a written statement by Kattan, he claims that the incident began when Mrs. Sorrentino, "jumped all over me and said, 'Don't you understand English?'" He then explained to her that his working hours were from 1 p.m . to 6 p.m . and that it wasn't his job. Kattan then told head custodian Paul Simmons and supervisor Art Porter about the incident. Sorrentino said that Simmons and Superintendent of Buildings / Grounds William Edd y together "determined that a secretary can not tell a custodian what to do ." She also said that Dr. Latulippe told her to have no further contact with the custodial staff. On May 8 Sorrentino was returning an electric cart and parked in room T-9, when Kattan reportedly told her to park it elsewhere. She said, "I was scared out of my mind so I got Gary Stodghill, who teaches
the only class in that building on Friday afternoons and Kattan left upon Gary's presence." She claimed that she had no further contact with the custodial staff the following week and subsequently , her office was not cleaned. Then on May 15 just before 4 p.m., Sorrentino was in the bathroom readying herself to leave for the day. She said she heard a door close and quickly went to her office. "I saw Isam coming out of the next office, so I hurried into my office and pushed the door to close it. But Isam was on the other side, trying to get in. Isam then pulled the door towards him and then slammed it against me and I fell back and hurt my knee . The phone then nngs and it's my kid. Isam was in the background swearing and calling me obscene names." Sorrentino then reported the incident to Dr. Latulippe and personnel manager Robert Smith. Kattan's statement claimed that he had cleaned two other offices and was going to then clean Sorrentino's. "Just before I opened the door she got there and opened it first. She said, 'You can 't clean the office right now,' and slammed the door hard. I was half way inside, so I blocked the door with my hand and pushed it. I told her, 'I just want to clean your office and I don't deserve to be treated like this.' I told her, 'nobody could treat me like that,' so I cussed her out and left." Mrs. Sorrentino reported the incident to the Sheriffs Department
May 19. She said she was willing to press charges if the D.A decided to take the incident to court. She quit her position in the industrial technology building that same day because "I feared my life." Superintendent of Buildings Eddy said May 19 that, "We are gathering all involved to come to an understanding as to what exactly happened." Smith said that an investigation was continuing and stated that "Mrs. Sorrentino's word is not necessarily fact." He also said that he didn 't know what would happen now that Mrs. Sorrentino had quit. Palomar president Dr. Omar Scheidt stated that, "Corrections will be made if an employee is not performing correctly." Scheidt promised a report of the investigation by May 22, but is still being formulated. Custodial head Simmons refused to comment on the situation, and upon further questioning claimed "That it was nobody's business.'' Simmons said later that he was told not to discuss the situation until the investigation is completed. Dr. Latulippe reported that he was present at that meeting with all involved. Latulippe's minimum request was for the student custodian to be transferred and reprimanded for use of foul language. The custodian was reprimanded but not transferred. Dean Brown told Latulippe after the meeting that he (Brown) did not support Latulippe because he had to be taught a lesson to not go "over my head.''

Library displays original art Original interpretations of arts and crafts from the Renaissance through the 20th Century will be displayed in the main library through June 12. Inspired by slides, books and discussions, Rita White's history of art students created works as semester projects using various media such as clay, stone, metal, wood, papier-mache, pen and ink,
mosaic, glass, fresco and paint. · Choosing either the original art medium , a suitable substitute, or a totally original medium , each student duplicated actual works of art or rendered free interpretations of a former style. The art objects in the show range from paintings , drawings , and sculpture to craft objects. Many of the art history students
are not art majors . It is the first time for some to get involved in the art process - to go through the pains of creating something and to thoroughly explore a medium. The display is an excellent look at the history of man through his art. Library hours are : Monday throu gh Thursday , 7:30a.m . to 9:30 p.m .; Friday. 7:30a.m . to 4 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m . to 2 p.m .
By James Colford Dean of Student Activities Frank Hankin has recommended that "appropriate action" be taken against former ASG president William Nelson for his refusal to write three letters of apology, and for "conduct unbecoming an ASG president." The recommendation came two months after college president Dr. Omar Scheidt reprimanded Nelson for his behavior at a January 21 Palomar-San Diego City College basketball game. According to Dr. Scheidt, the reprimand will be placed in Nelson's permanent file on a date "to be determined." During the game, Nelson and former vice-president Jim Tucker allegedly yelled obscenities at coaches Jon Cnossen and Andy Gilmour, sports information director Kevin Cloherty, and the two teams. Tucker and Nelson were escorted from the game. According to one witness, both officers acted "completely out of control." Nelson , Tucker, Dean Hankin, Dr. Scheidt, and Dr. Kenneth Burns attended a meeting shortly after the incident during which both Nelson and Tucker promised to write letters of apology. Tucker wrote the letters; Nelson reneged. Nelson's failure to keep his promise, and his later refusal to sign requisition forms for coaches Cnossen and Gilmour, prompted Hankin, in a letter dated May 8, to demand that Nelson fulfill his obligations and apologize. Hankin also wrote, "Your behavior is not indicative of the positive attitudinal change that was expected (and) was noted as conduct unbecoming an ASG president." Nelson could not be reached for comment. This was not the only controversy involving Nelson. In the past several months, students have alleged that Nelson has intimidated fellow student government members, students, and staff; displayed a fit of temper at a faculty senate meeting; and intentionally disregarded a constitutional responsibility. Another incident took place in early April, when Nelson went to the Vista Press office to complain that he had been misquoted in an April1 story about his then-scheduled Washington, D.C. trip. Reporter Christine Dubis quoted Nelson as saying that he had earned the right to represent the students using ASG money in "any capacity which best suits me.'' Nelson went to the Press office, demanded a retraction, pounded his
I
fists on Dubis's desk, and screamed obscenities. He was asked to leave, but refused until sheriffs deputies were called. Since then, Nelson won approval from students to travel to Washington, D.C., Aprilll-18. During his April 25 executive report, he gave a short oral summary of the trip, and submitted a folder containing printed material from various agencies. He offered no written report. However, at the May 20 meeting, Nelson did submit the following typed, three-paragraph, unsigned letter to legislators:
" The Washington Conference of April 11-18, 1981 was a highly enlightening experience. The 12th annual lobbying conference, representing students from all (Continued on page 10)
Legislators absent; stall ASG action Because of the absence of newlyelected legislators Gregory Blakney, William Nelson, and Laurie Strong, the ASG legislature was unable to conduct business at its May 20 meeting. The legislators chose to hold an information-only meeting rather than no meeting at all. Blake Hubbard told legislators that he would ask them to fund a trip to Sacramento. Hubbard said that he would be able to meet with local assemblyman Robert Frazee to discuss a pending assembly bill. The money for the trip, Hubbard said, would be used to pay for gasoline and other expenses. The actual amount was unspecified. Also discussed was the discovery that $200 worth of Polaroid film, intended for student pictures on ASG cards, was missing. It is unknown whether the film was stolen or just misplaced, since some of the ASG members recently held an office cleaning party. Rocky Cifone suggested that the legislator who makes a proposal should be the person responsible for initiating and following up on it. Cifone felt that business would proceed more smoothly if the suggestion was enforced.

Problems plague 'Women in Transition' This is the second of a twopart series on women who are facing the challenges of returning to school. The women discuss how they are coping with the difficulties involved in balancing finances, homework, children and relationships. Other than changing the women's names, the stories and words are all their own. By Lois Humphreys SUSAN I started Palomar originally twelve or thirteen years ago after high school. My major was art at that time. I got no help whatsoever from my parents, even though I was living at home - neither financial nor the encouragement to stay in school. I quit after a while and went to work for the phone company. So here I was at nineteen working as a telephone operator. It was not equal opportunity in those days - men could not become operators . So I worked eight or more hours a day in a room full of other women, and I got real lonely. That's when I met my husband. He was 22 and right out of the service. He had been in Vietnam. We got married about six months later - I was still nineteen. I thought I was so mature and that I could handle marriage without any problems. I quit my job and worked part time here and there. My husband was in construction. His father taught him and that's all he's ever done. I don't really know why I got married at that time. I was a virgin and had maybe four dates up until I met my husband. I just didn't attract men. I was real grateful that this guy paid attention to me. I didn't have any particular feelings toward him. But it was nice that someone was paying attention to me. I can remember walking down the aisle on our wedding day and thinking, "Oh shit, what am I doing? I guess I can always get a divorce." I just didn't know it would take twelve years. We'd been married for two years when we had our first baby. It was my decision to have a child. "Do whatever you want to do," he said. Then he wouldn't have to be responsible. It was planned and it seemed like the thing to do at the time. It was a difficult birth; it almost killed me. But I'd do it over agian. The second child I was sort of coerced into having. I really wasn't sure if I wanted to go through that again. But both our families were saying, "It's been two and a half years and you're not pregnant yet?" Parents, our church, everybody
ai decided that if I'm
going to support myself . .. I'm going to do something I enjoy and that I can make decent money at." pressured me about it. After a lot of soul-searching I decided to get pregnant and stop being so selfish. After the second baby was born, I felt really happy. There was no rhyme or reason for it. My husband was just the opposite - he was falling apart. Hewashavingtrouble with work and a drinking problem that was coming out more and more. He abandoned me with a four month old baby and another child. It was like having a rug pulled out from under me. I had to go on welfare and I was all alone. When we finally got back together there were things I couldn't forgethe had hurt me so badly. It was a hard decision to go back with him, but I decided to stay with him because of the children. I also realized that I could not support myself with a baby that I was still nursing. Maybe it was subconscious, but not long after we were back together, I started taking night classes. I started with macrame and ended up with accounting. I took medical transcribing, things like that; a lot of technical classes. I finally got a job working foz; a
dentist,and then another job after that, but I couldn't make good money. I was trying to find out if I could support myself and the kids . In the meantime, my husband's drinking problem got worse and worse. I just couldn't take it anymore. I was so sick of it. I was determined that I was going to have to figure out how to support myself. So that's when I decided to come back to school. I decided that if I'm going to support myself for the rest of my life, I'm going to do something I enjoy and that I can make decent money at. Somehow I found telecommunications. I still wonder if I'll be able to support myself. Over a year ago I decided I wanted a divorce. I would tell my husband, "you have a drinking problem," and he'd say, "No I don't" So I thought, maybe something's wrong with me. I went to counseling and then said, no, he's the one with the problem. So finally he says. "Okay, I have a drinking problem." But he wouldn't do anything about it. Then I finally got him to say "Okay, someday, I'll do something about it." I said, "I don't care when you do anything about it, because I won't be here anyway." But then he said he'd go to counseling, he'd do anything, just don 't leave him. So he started going to counseling and then we ended up in marriage counseling. The counselor ended up changing jobs right in the middle of our sessions. Before she left, she told me that it would take six months to a year of my husband beingdrytoknowwhat he is really like, so I decided for his sake, mine and the children's I should try to find out who this man is before I dump him. It took six months to discover that I didn't like him at all. I asked for a divorce and now he's back to drinking again. The kids have had some problems, but they're real subtle. It's very upsetting to have the school call and say your child needs help, he has problems. The older one does have troubles. He fantasizes, picks fights, and can't pay attention. I got him into counseling, and the counselor told me that he was reacting to my own inability to deal with the problem. My children know that Mommy doesn't like Daddy, but they loved him. And they love me. It was causing a real conflict with them, they didn't know how they were supposed to feel. That's when I decided I can't stay here just because it's financially beneficial. It's better for me and the kids to get out, and maybe be poor, if that's what it takes, rather than putting everyone through this. I knew the situation was making me a wreck, but I didn't realize how much it was affecting the children. I can't get him to leave the house. I can't afford to file for divorce. It's going to take me finding him a place to live, writing the address for him, packing his bags and sending him off. Unfortunely, I haven't had the time to do that. I can't stand being in the same room with him anymore. He says he's working, but he just comes and goes, all hours of the night. We're having financial problems. They're ready to shut off the gas and electricity, he's borrowing money from his parents, the bank is going to foreclose on the house. Thank God for the income tax return - I grabbed it and paid off some bills. I have a car that barely runs. I'm going to have to sell the house and probably live on that money for awhile. I don't know what I'm going to do -he immobilizes me. I could get him out of the house in ten days if I wanted to. I'm trying to be nice about it. I mean I'm asking him to leave his house -it is his house too. And leave his children. He does have rights too. I'm not going to run up the credit cards and expect him to pay for things. I'm not that kind of person. I know what he says - he says he'll pay child support and the courts will make him pay, but I'm no fool. I've lived with the man for twelve years. The drama will wear off in a short time, and the checks

will start coming in late and then not at all. Supposedly you have recourse when fathers don't pay; you can go back to court, but it all takes time and money. I know I can count on him not paying child support. I don't know what I'm going to do now. I'm basically through school. I don't know how I'm going to support myself. I know I can always do something to earn money, but it's not what I'm used to. It means lowering my standards, changing my residence, worrying about child care. Right now there is no child care available . The kids are on their own. The Boys' Club, Girls' Club and the YMCA all have waiting lists. To have someone come to the house or to have them go to someone else's is too expensive. I'd have to pay at least $1.50 an hour and I can't afford it. They're almost old enough to stay by themselves, but still you worry. I must say they've handled it very well so far - they're more mature than I thought. Sometimes the whole thing really gets to me - the immensity of it all. I say to myself, "What are you doing? What a foolyou should be grateful that you have a roof over your head."
*** MONICA I would say I came from a very traditional family with very traditional roles. My father worked full time and my mother worked part time, but basically she was a housewife and mother, with four kids. I was the youngest. I had a lot of ambitions in high school. That's when I met my first nusband. I was a senior. I really didn't know what I wanted to do though. Or rather I should say I knew what I wanted to do but I didn't know how to go about it. I really didn't have any role models to follow. I liked drama and singingI always wanted a very nontraditional type of career. Maybe not actually performing but something related in the field. Neither in my circle of friends nor family nor anyone I knew could give me any direction to my goals. I met this very nice young man who was bugging
me to get married. I guess I kind of became resigned to it. I knew when I was engaged and I knew when I was walking down the aisle that this was not what I wanted to do. About three years into the marriage I realized it was a drastic mistake for both of us . We had nothing in common at all, and after five years of marriage, I decided to get out. I had my two children by this man. The children were about two and a half and one when we split up. I stepped out into the cold cruel world with a high school education and started working at various jobs. I did the cocktail waitress job, and then I finally got into real estate. I did very
((He abandoned me with a four month old baby and another child. It was like having a rug pulled from under me. I had to go on welfare and I was all alone." well at it, except that we worked on commission. We lived in the midwest and the winters are just critical, so the real estate business dies in the winter. Through the real estate business I worked closely with the advertising department of the local newspaper, and so after a while they asked me if I would like a job with them. Ididcopywritingand editing and later worked on feature writing and layout, for the real estate section. I enjoyed that work very much. Then I met my second husband, and since he was being transfered back to California, we moved here. I went back to a traditional role again, but if I got bored and wanted something to do I could always pitch in and help my husband with his business . He was in the restaurant business and so I could do decorating or staffing or training. I started back to school several times, trying to find something that I really wanted to do. I took art
classes and thought seriously about becoming an interior decorator. That was about two years ago, and that's when my second marriage started going bad. Well the strain of the marriage going sour and trying to start my own business were more than I could handle, so I gave up the decorating. Sometimes I think I'm heading on the right course and doing all the right things , and other times I ask myself, "What am I doing here?'' I really don't know where I'm going from here. I just recently moved out of our house, and I just need some time to assess my situation. In the past year and a half, I've taken a full load at school, dissolved my marriage and taken up a new residence in a new area. I really need a couple of months off to just figure out my whole situation. I would like to at least get my AA degree, and then maybe go on farther. I don't know yet. A lot depends on my financial plans. Our settlement is not final yet and so I don't know what to expect. When I find out what happens with the money will probably tell me whether I'll have to find part time employment, or full time, or whether I'll be able to continue my education. I don't think my husband minded me going to school because he didn't see it as a threat in anyway. Before I started school I worked full time for a while, and he didn't like that at all. I really ¡e njoyed being out of the house, having my own circle of friends and socializing apart from my husband's circle of friends. He became increasing annoyed with any activities outside ofthe family. The job I had was fun, but I realized it wasn't what I really wanted to do, and that's when I decided to go back to school in eamest. And since my husband had always taken a class here and there I figured this was something that wouldn't interfere with any of his plans. When I got heavily involved in my classes, it was kind of a tuming point for me, because work became more compelling for me than my personal relationship. That kind of tells you where I was at that point.

Wo1nen in transition face problems (Continued from page 3) I have a lot of people ask me why I got a divorce, and I give them a lot of pat answers, that are nevertheless true. A lot of people look at me at this age andaskmewhyamidoingthis? I mean we had it all - the nice house, the pool, the cars, the skiing vacations, the retirement plan . This is the time in my life when I should be just sitting back and realizing that I had finally arrived and just enjoy. Why do I want to give that all up? Because of a lack of personal fulfillment - I feel that I had coasted on my husband's laurels for much too long. He had achieved
"When people ask me why I'm doing this, I tell them it's because personal fulfillment became more important .than the marnage commitment." success but I had just been a compliment to that. I think there's alot more inside of me that needs to be tried or proven. When people ask me why I'm doing this, I tell them it's because personal fulfillment became more important than the marriage commitment. And I realize that this way of thinking is part of the ''me first" generation; probably selfish motivation, but at this stage in my life no one is going to find satisfaction for me, I'm going to have to find it for myself. I played the traditional housewife role for years , and enjoyed them , but realized that I had a lot of trouble integrating personal fulfillment with the demands of the marital role. I guess I felt like it was now or never.
*** ANN I grew up in a middle class environment, with my parents and my three sisters. I went through high school with the idea that I would attend college someday, but I think I was like a lot of girls in the early 60's who felt that they were just biding their time until they got married. I can remember thinking how great it would be to go away to school , even though I can't remember any specific career goals. I thought of nursing, teaching, or maybe social work - the more acceptable roles for women. I also wanted to travel a lot after college. I really didn't want the traditional pattern of marriage and children at least until I was older. I dated quite a lot in high school, but when I met my husband at 19 I was still a virgin and had never had any serious relationships. He had graduated from college and was also through with the service. I had always thought that if I were to get married, that person would have to be a college graduate, and be somewhat ambitious in their career. Well, he qualified on both counts. Besides all that he was kind of shy and not overconfident like most boys of that age and that attracted me to him. I got pregnant the first time we slept together, about six months after I met him . Abortions were still illegal and the idea of giving my baby up for adoption was absolutely out of the question, so we decided to get married. I think he felt very responsible, and I felt as if there were no other options available to me. Since he fit the image that I had been looking for in a man, I decided we at least had some positive things going for us. I was unhappy from the beginning. I expected my husband to want to share his every thought with me, and I expected him to praise everything I did, and tell me he loved me constantly. 1 had this trury-tale illusion of what marriage was going to be like. I kept the house clean, made wonderful meals , fixed myself up before he came home from work, and I expected him to respond with
love and affection. I couldn't understand what was the matter, but I thought it must be something I was doing wrong. I thought I had to be the one to blame; after all, he was doing his part by going to work all day and bringing home the paycheck. After our first child was born, I found that it was very enjoyable taking care of a baby. After a while when she started responding to my smiles and talking, it was even more fun . I think during this time, that I ignored my husband a lot, and spent most of my energies on the baby. It was definitely more rewarding to be a mother than it was to be a wife. My husband was very ambitious with his job. He worked very long hours , most Saturdays, and brought home work to do at night. In some ways I admired that quality in him, except that he was always too tired to spend time with me or the baby. He expended all his energy into the job. I stayed home all this time, not working or going to school. Being a mother and housewife was all I wanted to do , and besides, I thought, any women who would go off and leave her child and take a job was either greedy, selfish or immoral. Mothers belonged with their children.
" . . . we 'had it all the nice house, the pool, the cars, the skiing vacations ... This is the time in my life when I should be just sitting back and realizing that I had finally arrived and just enjoy." We had another child three and a half years later, and bought our first home at about the same time. We were living the so-called American deam, right down to the two cars. Having two children was a lot more difficult than having one quiet easy baby. Before, I had time to read, and we took lots of walks and visited friends, but with two children the day was spent in the house, constantly interrupted by one of the _..-· ..
children, and very little time to myself. I think it was about that time that I started getting understandably restless , staying home all the time, and not having any outside activities. I decided to take one night class, just to get away once during the week. It was a personal and social adjustment class, and looking back I can remember hoping I would find out why I was so depressed for seemingly no reason. I would spend most of the afternoon of the night class making sure that everything would be ready for my husband to watch the kids - the dinner would be ready, the kids in dry diapers and pajamas, even a bottle of milk warming, so that he wouldn't complain about watching them. It was always called babysitting when he watched his kids , but it was mothering when I was with them. I always felt guilty going off and leaving him for that one night - I never would expect him to clean up the dishes or pick up after the kids .
I felt as if the kids and I were a separate family from my husband. He was there , but not really sharing anything with us. I guess I figured that that was the way all husbands were, and since he was a good provider, and never did any thing wrong, that I had no reason to complain if I was unhappy. The few times I did try to talk to him about it, I was told that my feelings were wrong, and that I was expecting too much out of life. All I wanted was for him to share things with me. Well , life just went on, my older child started school and I started getting involved in school activities, and volunteering in the classroom. I did that for a few years , and although it did have some rewards, it was still centered around the children's needs, and I got bored with it. Through my involvement with the schools, somehow I branched out into the community and got involved in local politics. I ended up being the leader of a community group and my name started appearing in the paper fairly often. The phone started ringing a lot in the evenings, and I attended a lot of meetings, and met many new people.

I had been thinking about returning to school for a long time too, so I decided to give it a try . I had no idea what I wanted to do , other than my interest in politics, so I started out with political science and some other general education classes. It annoyed my husband that I wasn't going to go into computer science or some other field that was relatively fast through school and made a lot

of money. I told him that I wanted to take my time, because I had no idea of my talents, and that money was not going to be my primary concern with finding the right career. It seemed like no matter what I wanted to do , there was an obstacle put in front of me. I was thoroughly enjoying myself in school and with my political activities, but when I brought them home , they were greatly reduced in importance. Last year I finally made myself admit that our marriage had some serious difficulties , and that I was very tired of being unhappy all the time. I insisted that we get some marriage counseling, and he reluctantly agreed to go along because "I had a problem , not him." He told the therapist up front that he would only spend three months in counseling and only spend so much money on it, so we'd better get busy and patch things up. Unbelievably, the counselor agreed. He manipulated her for the entire time we went. I can rem em her the last session we had. The therapist said that she was very happy about the way we had progressed, and my husband agreed that he was very happy too, and when I said I still wasn't happy, they both kind of shrugged and said too bad. I was just going to have to learn to live without a close personal relationship if I wanted to stay in the marriage.
I didn't admit to him how unhappy I still was . It was the end of the school year, and I decided to relax for the summer, enjoy the company we were expecting, and spend some time with the kids at the beach. Summer time went okay, mainly because I didn't make any demands on him. The political activities were pretty quiet and I wasn't going to school, so dinner was on the table and the house was clean and the phone stopped ringing for a while.

People started complimenting me for the work I was doing. I was also getting a lot of attention from men, which was a surprise because I never felt attractive around my husband. While all this was going on, my husband was kind of making fun of what I was doing, and it seemed as if the more involved I got, the more critical he became. I wanted to run for city council, and I had a lot of support behind me, but I asked him to be supportive, and he refused. He said he felt that it wasn't the right thing for me to do, and I think he disliked me being in the limelight so much. I decided not to run because I needed to know that he was home taking care ofthings, and being enthusiastic about my running, and if he wasn't going to cooperate, then I wouldn't be able to pull it off. I was pretty bitter about that. It was something that I wanted to do, and he wouldn't back me up, even knowing how much it meant to me.

We started having problems again in the fall when I started back to school , and the election in November increased my political activities. I had gotten to the point that I realized that life was too short to remain unhappy and I knew something had to give pretty soon. I finally realized that my wanting a
close intimate relationship with someone was not an unreasonable thing to want. It was perfectly normal. After the holidays I finally decided to tell hi,ul that I wanted to separate for awhile and try to work things out alone. He was extremely upset and I think very frightened to be out on his own, but he did move out.
ui had this fairy-tale
illusion of what marriage was going to be like. I kept the house clean, made wonderful meals, fixed myself up before he came home from work, and I expected him to respond with love and affection." He says he wants us to get back together again. He says he loves me and everything will be different if only I'll agree to go back with him, but I am still reluctant. He keeps setting deadlines for my decision; either I have to file for divorce, or we go back together. He has always tried to control me, and now I feel as if I'm backed into a corner. I don't want to make a decision now, but if he forces me, I'll divorce him. I've had a taste of independence, and even though it ism uch more difficult with the children and taking care of everything myself, it's still better than having him dominate me. I've been having a relationship with another man that has been a good friend for a long time, and I finally realized that all the things I wanted to share with someone were normal. We have had -a lot of fun together- he's my best friend in the world right now. Knowing that a relationship can be so terrific, makes it very difficult to go back to something that was never this good.
"One way or another, I'm going to finish school. The whole educational experience has been so stimulating and exciting for me. I am optimistic about the future no matter what happens between us." I don't know what will happen financially if I get a divorce. I would like support until I can graduate with a B.A degree, but I guess the courts will decide. One way or another, I'm going to finish school. The whole educational experience has been so stimulating and exciting for me. I am optimistic about the future, no matter what happens between us. I think I'll be able to get a good job in a field that I enjoy, and support us. I am basically very happy with many things in my life right now. The difficulty in getting a divorce is that my husband is a good person. I don't think he realized what he was doing to me. My family doesn't understand what I'm doing at all. After all , he's a good provider and father, and has many good qualities, which is all true. It's difficult for the kids too because they would like to be able to blame someone, and I've told them that it takes two people to make a marriage work, and that no one can be blamed. It would be a lot easier if he drank too much or hit me - then it would take very little anguish to make a decision. I care about him, and I want him to be happy too. I'm just not sure that we can start completely over and be happy together.

Financial aid faces program slashes Are you financially well off? Or could you use some form of student financial aid? With the Reagan administration's cuts in student financial aid programs, the future of these monetary supplements is in jeapordy. According to Palomar's financial aid director Charles Hollins, the cuts will have major impact on colleges because "Funds will be drastically reduced." Hollins feels that the cuts "will put pressure on parents to fund their children's college-level schooling." Anyone who has any inclination to apply for financial aid for next school year should do so immediately. The deadline for first priority applications was May 15, but the sooner you apply the better your chances are of receiving aid. The cost to apply is only two eighteen cent stamps, and you merely need to show that there is a personal monetary need for schooling. The most popular aids at Palomar are the Pell Grants which are Basic Educational Opportunity Grants. Students with six or more units are eligible, and are equal to scholarships in that a grant is not paid back by the student. .. At the time the Reagan cuts were first announced._ it created a nan:ic among students and financial aid offices around the country," stated Hollins. "The administration stopped processing Pell Grants for a month and a half. When processing resumed April 16 there was a backlog of 3.8 million applications!" There are three types of financial aid available: the above mentioned Pell Grants; College Work Study; and Guaranteed Student Loans. The grants and work study are funded federally while the loans are bank funds guaranteed by the federal government. Guaranteed Student Loans allow students to borrow up to $3000 a year. For first time borrowers the interest rate is 9%, and for those who have borrowed in the past the rate is 7%. The loan must be paid six months after the student graduates or leaves school, and if the student drops below six units. The Guaranteed Student Loan program
will change come October '81. Commented Hollins, "money is running out." Of the 1980-81 school year, Hollins reflected, "Enrollment increased along with the number of students on financial aid. In the last two years there has been a major increase of students applying for aid because of better communications. I see this trend as continuing."
By Betty Hollman She was hired to help out in the campus cafeteria for two weeks, but ended up staying eight years. Vivian Boyd chuckles when she remembers her comment to her husband, "It won't take them long to find someone permanent for the job." Eight years later Vivian is now the lady responsible for all the toothsome bakery items on display in the cafeteria. She is quick to mention that all those pies, donuts, cakes and cookies are made in her campus kitchen. According to Vivian this hasn't always been the case. "Why when I first came here our typical baking was a couple of frozen pies and maybe an 11 by 17 cake." That's a far cry from the 200 donuts, 12 dozen cookies, 48 sweet rolls and 50 pieces of cake she puts out daily. Not to mention the 30 pies she whips up weekly. Vivian credits her baking expertise to practical experience. "I learned by just getting in there and doing it. I baked at home and having all boys I did do quite a bit. Then it was just a case of adapting my recipes to a larger scale." Yes indeed, those cookies served in the cafeteria are from one of Vivian's home recipies. For awhile the cookies were so popular that local elementary schools were purchasing them. Vivian's mother also had a hand in helping her to develop her kitchen skills. "My mother had a restaurant ever since I was very young. In fact she was one of the original Harvey girls. In those days the women who worked in the restaurants that were set up at all train stations were referred to as Harvey girls. That's how she got her start in the restaurant business." Although baking has become her field she didn't really plan it that way. "Believe it or now this was not my original profession. I graduated from a nursing school which we lived right next to.

Mt. Carmel Center offers ten satellite classes Ten classes will be offered this ¡ summer at the Mt. Carmel Satellite Center. . Registration for the six and eight week classes, which begin June 22, will be held on June 15 and 11.3 from 6 to 9 p.m . in the Multi-purpose room at Mt. Carmel High School.

suggested that I start in on that course, so I did." Fortunately for all those students with an inclination for sweets she gave up nursing after marriage. Looking back over the last eight years she can only remember one major baking mistake. Smiling mischievously she sheepishly tells what happened. "I forgot to put the sugar in the pumpkin pies. But we managed to get away with that by putting a little more whipped cream on top." Laughing, she adds that out of the 18 sugarless pies which had been cut into serving pieces, she only received two complaints. As far as complaints go her goodies receive very few. On the contrary, quite frequently her calorie-laden delights are rewarded with praise. "I'd say that the cookies seem to be the students' favorite, but I get alot of compliments on the eclairs. People really seem to enjoy those eclairs." Vivian grimaces when admitting that she also enjoys the fruits of her labors. "You get so you just have to stay away from this stuff or pretty soon you can't fit behind the counter. I have to make a real effort to keep from eating it. There are people who after awhile just get sick of it. Not me though."
Not only can Vivian bake, but in the last few years has become highly skilled at cake decorating. Quite frequently her masterpieces are on display in the cafeteria for the students' viewing pleasure. Cake decorating wasn't an accomplishment that she was eager to learn. "Another lady had always done decorating," explains Vivian. "She did such a beautiful job that I didn't see any need to learn that skill." With some encouragement from Food Service Manager Terry Doyl she finally consented to taking a class. That was three years ago and now she delights in her creations. In fact the first wedding cake she did turned out so well that she didn't recognize it as her own work. "I was shown a photograph of the wedding cake and I thought that they must have had another cake because it was so pretty. Well gosh, I suddendly realized that it was my cake! I had no idea what a goodjobi had done." Doing a good job is important to Vivian. This is apparent as one travels back into her bakery kingdom, passing by racks of fresh donuts, trays of cookies, and small loaves of freshly-baked bread. It gives one the impression that they've died and gone to bakery heaven.
PatronsofPalomar perform services By Joan Patterson Contributing to the school for the past 34 years the Patrons of Palomar are still going strong. Membership includes members of North County communities, Palomar staff, students and out of state residents. Their goal? "To provide assistance and encouragement whenever and wherever it is needed on campus." The Patrons were formally organized six months after the college began classes on a temporary Vista site in 1946. To help with the needs of the college they began contributing to the support of student growth and promoting campus beautification and development. Numerous fund raising projects were book sales, musicals, speakers, socials and the "Pink Elephant Sales". Prior to 1950 these sales were publicized as bazaars and held in public buildings off campus. The name Pink Elephant stemmed from publicity using the color pink for the elephant symbol. The first sale using that name was in March, 1950 in San Marcos Community Hall. All proceeds went to: a rose garden, grass seed, fertilizer, 100 trees of selected varieties, top soil, sprinkling systems and shrubs to get campus grounds developed. Later after the Dome was built all sales have been held there. By 1954 scholarships, revolving student loans, college publicity, library education and the student year book (dedicated to the Patrons) were receiving financial help. Annually Patrons provide scholarships to incoming freshmen, continuing students and students transfering to four year institutions. Financial assistance to the campus work-study program comes from the Patrons. Many students are employed on campus under this program. They also operate a student emergency fund for students who cannot afford to pay registration fees or material costs. Financial help has been given to various organizations and departments needing assistance. Campus beautification and development efforts can be seen in
several different sections of the grounds. Patrons have been instrumental in the growth of the arboretum. The planning and construction of the Carrillon Clock Tower took three years of hard work and raising funds. In 1960 Ralph and Francis Wallace, Patron members, offered their estate to the Development Foundation. Later in 1968 the Patrons managed the sale of the household effects from the Wallace home. They raised $2,800 that landscaped the patio between the mailroom and the conference room. Landscaping, memorial sculpture and materials for the Chammness Patio by the administration buildings were efforts of the Patrons. Patrons received $500 from Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Stroat Sr. in 1977 to establish a mini park for their son, Edgar Stroat Jr., a deceased faculty member. Later a rare Star Pine tree was added to the mini park. A natural garden on a hill top of the arboretum grounds was established for Dr. Omar Scheidt's son, James. 1979 brought four carved wall panels, by the late John Barlow, for the new theater foyer, a hand crafted wall clock made of avocado wood by Nick Disparti for the foyer and an L shaped bench in front of the the theater building. All work is volunteer for this non profit organization. Many people have made large donations as well as Patron mem hers. Marjorie Kerns, Edna Pulver and Lee Grave donated working hours to the two libraries. Funds are raised through "The Pink Elephant Sale" in May and "Everybodys Book Sale" in December. The book sale earned an average of $2,020 per year in the last five years. From 1976 through 1980 $33,227.68 was earned on the "Pink Elephant Sales." Work goes on year round in the Patrons workshop, in the back part of campus. Items donated for the sales are mended or repaired by members. The 1981-83 board of directors are: Mary Fulton, Gloria Hoff, Grace Burns, Jenifer Lebedeff, Maude Hamilton and Ethel Frysinger.

Sonny Miller Sonny Miller has been interested in photography for the past two and a half years and has picked up all his experience, ideas and techniques from Palomar. About his work, Miller explains, "I like color best. It's rich and seems alive. I shoot mostly slides and try to get a colorful effect. I experiment alot with color, flash and light writing. I shoot a lot of black and white photos, but it's a lot different than color. It requires a lot more skill and technique." He shoots high action skateboarding, skiing, surfing, and all-around sports. He occasionally puts on slide shows. Miller's favorite lens is a fisheye wide angle which really broadens the view and is great for skateboarding shots. He is presently shooting for "Thrasher" skateboard magazine and is mostly doing freelance work at this time. Sonny has found an interest in telecommunications. He really likes video camera work and is exploring into movie films. His future goals are to continue to work hard here at school and eventually go to work on his own in the field of photography.

Thomas Soto Thomas Soto has been a photgraphy student for the past two years His first intentions were to be a painter, but later he chose his talent photographically. Soto is a self-motivated person. He claims proportion is utmost in importance. "When I go out to shoot an assignment, I first go through the motions in my mind. I then stage out a procedure that gets me prepared to shoot. There are a few things that I take into consideration. Lighting is very important along with different perspectives, angles, and views. Also, you really have to know your sport and the people that are involved." Twenty years old, Soto has been a staff photographer for the "Oceanside Blade-Tribune" and is also shooting for a new local publication which centers its attention to children's activities, called "Youth Magazine." He is an action photographer and finds himself growing into the field of photojournalism. He likes to shoot action, skateboarding, women, children, scenic and modeling portfolios .

Six units is all that is required to be a full-time in an eight week program. A six week session, fulltime, is only four units. Threequarter and half-time programs are also available in each category. "A student enrolled in a half-time eight week class (three units) , and a

half-time six week class (two units), would be a full-time student for the first six weeks, and a half-time student for the seventh and eighth week. Those students can probably have their benefits continued for fall , 1981 upon request," explains Duncan. "But it should be remembered that veterans who receive break-pay between summer and fall will be drawing on their entitlement without continuing to gain in number of units completed. "Choose a program that will suit your needs best," admonishes Duncan. "Choose wisely and choose well."
planning for KSM. Although KSM's music is varied, "college radio generally stresses new artists, especially punk music right now.' Besides his position at KSM, Steve is interning three days a week at KIFM, and plans to attend San Diego State University, majoring in telecommunications. Steve would eventually like to get into station management or film editing. Although stressing the 'fun' of radio, Steve seems to take his job seriously. With professionals like Steve around, Palomar's telecommunications department will only get better and better.
Editorials
MUSIC REVIEW
Education evaluated to personal growth. One such occasion occmred while observing what could have been an awkward situation between student and teacher. A lesson in poise and maturity was taught by the teacher's actions. No student can leave Palomar withou. having been exposed to a course in human relations. Foreign and cross-culture students, the handicapped and the wide range in ages within the student body have challenged all to think in terms beyond mere toleration. A back-pack trip is now more enjoyable for having taken a "required class" in geology. The bull and bear market now stimulates us to read further in the daily paper. The good, and maybe not so good, experiences have all been teachers. What has been accumulated in the time here will remain throughout life . What is done with it is up to the individual. There can never be a final exam on what Palomar has taught us . The test comes in the daily application of its lessons by "me."
COMMENTARY
Cyclist points out benefits By Dale Haines Pumping up that final hill, the wind draws beads of sweat across your forehead. One last swig from the water bottle gets you over the crest and a short downhill coast takes you to the campus. A number of students and faculty members go through this whenever they cycle to school. In addition to the obvious health benefits, these riders avoid many traffic (remember the traffic problems at the beginning of each semester?) and parking problems while operating a pollution-free machine that needs no gasoline. Bicyclists are an amiable group and tend to band together. If enough interested cyclists
'Can I watch?' asked eleven year old Steve Johnston. By hanging around the radio station in the Escondido Mall and finally getting up the nerve to ask to see their operation, Steve discovered his love for radio at such an early age. Steve is now program director for KSM, the college's own station, and his enthusiasm for radio has not yet dampened. I'm totally devoted to radio,' says Steve. 'Even though the job's not as glamorous as Ifirstthought,it'sstill a lot of fun.' As program director, Steve is responsible for the overall program
Opinion
EDITORIAL
By Marilou Genereaux Another school year is drawing to a close . No matter where we go from here, each person will carry with him or her the benefits our education has offered. While lessons in the classroom are necessary for the future, they do not comprise our total input of knowledge. The bottom line in the educational process is always "me" and my response to the truths I have learned . The student is being equipped to file and refile knowledge according to his growth in understanding; to weigh fact against fact. Formal education is gearing him to put credibility behind his beliefs about life. Still, all lessons are not gleaned from lectures and books . Many important impressions are being absorbed in day-to-day communication. Building bridges of friendship comes while learning not to prejudge one another.

Rush disc By Ken Baer "A modern day warrior, Mean mean stride, Today's Tom Sawyer, Mean mean pride." These opening lines from Rush's latest album, 'Moving Pictures' sets the tone for songs that follow and prove to be Rush's most artistic and professional work yet. Caught in a mood of modern-day lyrics, Rush has carried on with 'Permanent Waves" atmosphere, only bettering it. For the first time, Geddy Lee's vocals are not overly shrill, but defined and polished. As with their last album (Waves) Rush appears to be focusing on a larger audience. At times you must remind yourself that Rush consists of only three guys: Lee on bass, the toys (mini-moog and synthesizers) and of course, vocals; Alex Lifeson beating his six and twelve string electric and acoustic guitars; and the invaluable Neil Peart in his vast jungle of sounds encircling his drum set (wind chimes, glockenspiel, orchestra bells, crotales) . Their 1976 release of 'All The World's A Stage,' the 2-record live recording, included many of their best songs to date, including much from their widely acclaimed ' 2112'. After the live release came 'Hemispheres' which was an extreme letdown and stirred fears of Rush's future demise. But the road show, 'Tour of the Hemispheres' proved to be intense, despite the slow album. Following 'Hemispheres' came 'Permanent Waves' in 1980, and soon disc jockey's found themselves continually playing 'The Spirit of Radio' to their air-wave assemblies.
Meanwhile, a combination of sunny summer weather¡ and thousands of miles of California bike paths¡might be an alternative to a regular humdrum summer vacation. 'Tom Sawyer' is the hero of 'Moving Bicycle touring is inexpensive (fifty cents will get you a campsite for a night in any Pictures,' released in March. Declaring state park) and fun . Whether you take a without exception: "What you say about his short ride along the coast or try something company is what you say about society," like a week-long ride to San Francisco, " No, his mind is not for rent to any god or government.

but change is." 'Red Barchetta,' 'Limelight,' and 'Camera Eye' are the other potent songs on the album . This Canadian trio will be on the road this summer to promote 'Moving Pictures.' When they stop off in San Diego and Los Angeles next week, Rush fan's who make it to these shows will definitely 'catch the drift,'. (It would be wise to have no expectations of rekindling childhood memories of Mark Twains classic ' Sawyer,' for the light show will lose you in a cosmic euphoria.)

Baldwin overcomes art gallery obstacles By Sheila Larkins Russell Baldwin, director of the Boehm Art Gallery, describes himself as "chief cook and bottlewasher." Not only does he instruct, but he has the task of acquiring exhibits of fine art (usually on a monthly basis) and designs an installation for the work as well. When planning a show, Baldwin must schedule it months in advance and many times two to three years in advance. If he's "cutting it close," it should be at least a year in the planning. However, having just returned from a "very productive" sabbatical has put him behind schedule. How does one plan and acquire work for the gallery? "It's easy once you've established yourself," said Baldwin. "We are able to get ex¡ hibits from well-known and recognized artists and galleries because the college has built a fine reputation over the last 16 years. These artists want to know that their artwork will not be abused." Some pieces are worth thousands of dollars and some exhibits are worth ten times that and must be insured. "The insurance is provided by the gallery and sometimes by the lending organization that circulates the show. This usually includes insurance on the removal, packaging, transportation and return ofthe art work. In other words "wall to wall" insurance. "So far there has been one incident where there was a theft." Baldwin would not go into the how and why of the occurrence, but the thief was caught, and a couple of months later Baldwin testified against him. He is very protective of the artwork left in his care. "I'm not adverse to pointing a finger at anyone who messes around with our gallery." He compares the artwork
with a child and states, "It's like kidnapping something which is completely defenseless, and if you do, you 've gqt the wrath of Baldwin upon you. In addition, there are protective devices to insure that work stays put." Some of the exhibits which he schedules to come here are the works of the Western Association of Art Museums, a national organization located in San Francisco. They put together packages of shows that go on the road. Packages include work from museums and private collections. In order to install an exhibit, Baldwin must take the gallery's limitations into consideration. It has no humidity or temperature control. The gallery was being built when he arrived 16 years ago. Why isn't the gallery larger? Baldwin feels that the college was aggressive and forward-thinking to allow that much space to begin with 16 years ago. The more recent college art galleries are three or four times bigger because they realized the potential it has for bringing in more art students and interest of community members. At times the space, humidity a nd temperature control limitations have prevented him from getting major exhibits . This can be frustrating, because the school has the reputation of getting great shows (mentioned in publications of art galleries such at The Art Diary for 1980, which is world-wide.) Most exhibits take up from 200-400 lineal feet (in wall space) and the gallery would have to split up the exhibit in order to show it. Better humidity and temperature control would also insure better care of artwork, so that he could apply for grants and therefore receive exhibits of extremely high value and of great historical significance. These obstacles seem to be easily overcome by the gallery's art direc-

HOLDS TWO ELECTED SEATS
Politician-student serves community By Joan Patterson Politician-student Bob Fusco arranges his time to attend Palomar, work part time and serve the community. Fusco holds representative seats on the Rancho Bernardo Planning Board. Two years ago Fusco was elected to the planning board at 18 years of age. Later the following September, he was appointed to fill a vacancy on the town council. In the following election June 1980, he ran as an incumbant and won the seat with the top number of votes against four other candidates. When he decided to run for office, Fusco says he was frustrated by the elderly community. "They always seemed to blame the area youth for so many of the problems, such as vandalism, thefts and especially traffic problems in one residential area. I v. anted to give the community an example of what the youth in the community could do in a positive way. "I feel more accomplishments are achieved on the planning board. It has to do with zoning, residential and industrial uses of the area. Any new development that is coming into the area has to have the planning boards approval." "People often complain about the constant growth in the area, said Fusco. "However this was all decided ten years ago when the master plan came out. The planning board can only oversee and follow the master plan. "The board is registered with the attorney general, and has the power to rezone and do anything as long as it is within the basic master plan. They deal mostly with developers and seldom run into any problems with residents, " Fusco explained. "The town council is only an

advisory board to the San Diego City Council. "It can only advise the city counril about Rancho Bernardo's feelings on the matters about the town . The city council usually goes along with what the town council feels is best. "The council deals with problems in the community that are going to happen in the future." Does he see politics as a career? "I really don't know at this point," said Fusco. "The direction I'm interested in now is Broadcast Journalism, but I am still open to politics in the future possibly." Fusco has been a student for the last two years at Palomar. He plans to attend San Diego State next fall and finish his general education requirements , then decide what his major will be. Aside from school and his Town Council and Planning Board duties Fusco has been active in the San
Rafael Church of Rancho Bernardo and works part time as an accounting clerk for Allstate Insurance Co. He served an internship for KIFM Radio last semester. He is now with Palomar's KSM radio station on cable in Escondido. He does an air shift from 3 until 6 p.m . every Monday and does a news spot on Tuesdays. In his sparetime he likes to read and listen to music. He collects records . Some of his favorites are "Teddy Pendergrass," "The Comadores ," "Earth, Wind and Fire," and "Tavaris." Has Fusco's youth been an advantage in the offices he holds? "Yes, because if there is a problem in the community, I can be more responsive. I am more in touch with what is happening right now." " I have decided to run again for both the positions I now hold in the June elections ."

"This class is especially useful to students going onto a four year college, where research libraries can be formidable and intimidating," commented Puzzo. He feels that this course is very helpful because "students can use this information throughout their lives. The basics won't change." "One ofthe interesting things I've found is from feedback. At first students can't believe there is so much work, but when the course is over they say they have really learned something."
tor who arranges eight to ten shows a year, because he is diligent. This quality is described as "intense activity or having a keen interest in the work of one's choosing." That fits Baldwin perfectly. He uses the space in the gallery to his advantage. He makes the set-up as simple as possible and uses little tricks like hanging artworks about four inches lower than the average person and two inches lower than the average gallery would hang them. This helps their small space appear larger. Not only is he a private collector, but he also collects for the gallery. The gallery collection is quite large as a result of years of slow accumulation, and it would take three or four shows to exhibit everything. Baldwin's own artwork runs into the field of conceptual art which he explains is art in which the ideas are important. This doesn't mean that it isn't pleasing to the eye, but it doesn't deal with traditional materials and it isn't "arty." An example of this was a picture frame full of stained teabags all lined up in rows hanging on his wall (not his work). He has described his own work as using shadows, color, line and shades differently than most people do. He doesn't have any of his work on hand, but a showing of his work is being exhibited at the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art which began in May and is continuing through June 14. Russell Baldwin's show, "Atrocities to Walls" was executed during this last year while on sabbatical leave from Palomar. This work is every bit as elegant and sardonic as that of the past. Those who have become familiar with Baldwin through his glib statements on glass, such as "Art Is All Over," will find this show a logical transition in his role as conceptual artist. Still asserting that it is the idea that constitutes the art and not the process of creating it, Baldwin takes away words and offers up only images. "Atrocities to Walls" consists of a series of photographs, each one focused on an object that perforates the white space. A screwdriver, hatchet, motorcycle, or dagger. Others look at a wire strung across a nail, backed by brilliant color. It is likely to be a popular show, attracting photography fans as well as those who appreciate a pure image or a pure wit. In fact his pieces work so well that it seems an afront - a bit of petty trivia- to add that (in the nature of true conceptualism) Baldwin did not do the photographs himself. Instead, he hired someone else to do them, consistent with his philosophy that it's the mental work, not the physical work, that's important to his art. Baldwin's works will also be seen at the San Francisco Museum of Modem Art next fall. Hours for the La Jolla Museum are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 12:30 to 5 p.m. weekends. It is located at 700 Prospect St. Admission is $2 for adults, $.50 cents for seniors and children under 12.
Student art set for show, sale Student art, "representative of the best work currently a vail able from the past year" will be on display at the All Media Student Art Show, according to department chairman Val Sanders. Student works in a variety of media range from ceramic, painting, etching and drawing through batik, weaving and bronze, brass, silver and copper jewelry and other pieces. The student show represents an entire semester of work by Palomar art students, and many of the pieces will be for sale. Gallery hours are Monday- Thursday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

ROYALS SIGN BASEBALL KING
Burger catches contract By Dave Yamasaki "As far back as I can remember I've always wanted to become a professional baseball player." Randy Burger, Palomar's most sought after baseball player fulfilled his childhood dream on May 23. The 6-5, 205 pound catcher signed a contract with the Kansas City Rovals. with a $35,000 bonus.
Kansas City Royal practices constantly. "I've just been devoting myself entirely to baseball and schooL" "Whenever I have some extra time, I come up to the school and practice my hitting."
Burger's dedication to baseball is truly a rare quality. Coach Clayton summarizes Randy's future at the professional level by saying, " Along with his positive attitude, there is no doubt in my mind that Burger will become a great ball player."
Several clubs had spoken with the Palomar star, namely the New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox and the Cubs. Unfortunately, none provided an offer as good as the Royals'. Burger was in a position where he just couldn't lose. Only a month ago, he signed a letter of intent with San Diego State University, offering him a scholarship. Burger pointed out he wasn't hesitant about going to the four year schooL "If I wouldn't have been offered what I was looking for, I would have played for the SDSU team and would have gotten an education too." Randy drew attention from baseball scouts after his performance with the Comets. During the 1981 season, Burger slammed 16 homers, 41 runs batted in, and finished the season with a .445 batting average.

TANAKA NAMED TOP ATHLETE
Women's teams win five titles By Meg Kleeb It's becoming a tradition. Five out of nine women's sports teams brought home first place conference trophies this season including -t hree with perfect league records. With an 18-0 record the softballers battered their competitors, while women swimmers drenched their opponents, finishing with a 6-0 record and netters smashed their rivals in with a 14-0 record in conference action. "The women's sports year has been fantastic for four years now; we have a top notch program," commented Patti Waterman, Women 's Athletic Director, when asked how the women's teams fared this season. Taking conference firsts were the archery, field hockey, softball, swimming and tennis squads. The track and field team finished second. Additionally, the field hockey team placed fourth in the state and the archery team took second in the nationals. last Wednesday at the women's annual athletic awards program the women judged most deserving by all of Palomar's women's coaches were honored. Top honors went to Dana Tanaka who was named Athlete of the Year, Kim Jensen who was named Athlete-Scholar of the Year and Dream a Wolsh who received the Sportmansrup of the Year Award. Tanaka was named conference player of the year for the second straight year in softball. She finished her pitching career at Palomar with a 34-4 overall record. Tanaka allowed only five earned runs in two years and struck out 288 batters. This season she had 16 shutouts. Tanaka is currently deciding whether to attend Cal State Fullerton or Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on a full scholarship. Field hockey player Kim Jensen was voted South Coast Conference Player of the Year for the second straight year. She led her team to fourth place in the state tournament and was named to the all-state squad for the second time. Jensen also shared MVPhonors with Caren Woodhouse. Jensen¡ had an outstanding gradepoint average. Jensen plans to attend San Jose State on a scholarship next year. Dreama Wolsh was awarded allconference honors for winning the 100 and 200 individual medleys and helping her team win the 200 yard medley relay. Wolsh was the high point scorer on the team and placed in every event she swam in this year. Her plans for next year are to attend Long Beach State. Honorable mention awards were also given to ten women who the coaches felt deserved recognition. All except one participated in two sports at Palomar. Tennis player Sherrie Harris compiled a 28-4 singles record this season and a 24- 7 doubles record. Harris went on to the semi-finals of the Southern California Regionals and to the quarter-finals of the state championships. Harris was named Mission Conference Player of the year and as a freshman will return next year. Also receiving honorable mention was Sandy Muse who played outfield on the softball team and ran the 100 and 200 meters in track. Muse set two school records in the 100 meters and 200 meters. She also played on the volleyball squad three years ago. Freshman Liz Mueller also played on the softball team and was a member of the track team . Mueller played outfield and finished with the identical batting average Muse had, .438. Mueller set school and
had, .438. Mueller set school and conference records in the discus , and javelin. She also threw the shot put to a new school record, 40-10 1/~. Tina Woodring also played on the softball team as well as the volleyball squad for two years. She was elected to the all-Mission conference team in softball as a pitcher. Woodring plans to attend Colorado State on a scholarship next fall. Jeanna Hallenbeck also received an honorable mention for her participation in softball and volleyball. Hallenbeck was all-conference in softball playing trurd base for the Comets. She hit eight home runs this year. Hallenbeck will continue her education at Colorado State along with Woodring. Pat McNary was honored for her two year participation in cross country and track. Kristi Trunk was noted for her two year performance on the basketball and volleyball teams. Trunk was the team rebound leader with 42.5 and 13 points per basketball game. As well as team captain she was also named the offensive player of the year in basketball. Darlene Hurd received her honorable mention for volleyball and swimming. Hurd was named MVP in swimming and won the 50, 100, 200 and 500 yard freestyle races at the conference championships. Hurd set three school records and was on three school-record setting relays. Freshman Susie McHale was the only woman to go to state finals in two sports: field hockey and swimming. She earned her way for an honorable mention by swimming in the freestyle and medley relays and playing outstanding field hockey. The tenth rec1p1ent of an honorable mention was Shannon Mulholland who was all-conference in tennis for two years, team captain and voted most inspirational on the team. "It was very difficult to come up with an athlete of the year due to the fact that we have so much talent and versatility among the girls." Waterman said.
The Telescope sports staff agrees with Waterman's statement and felt that in addition to those receiving formal awards there were many others who deserve credit. Here is our extended list: In basketball Kelle Fowler who averaged 22.4 points per game; in archery Jackie Bower who was fourth in the state and seventh in the nationals. Margie Press who led the women in nationals with a fourth place finish and Anna Saenz; in track Debbie Keagy who was the only woman to qualify for the Southern California finals and the state finals with a school record in the 1500 meters; in track and cross country Hilda Mata who was the MVP in cross country and ran the 3000 meters in track and Linda Wasilew who at age 34 competed in both cross country and track; in tennis D.D. Mercer who was the number two Comet singles player and teamed with Harris to win the conference doubles title.

Waterman promotes athletics By Ken Baer Something will be missing in the P.E. office next semester when Patti Waterman. women's athletic director, takes a leave of absence to have her first child. Not only is Patti's athletic record in high school and college considerable. but her achievements in women 's athletics are .promoting . 1m press1 ve. Born in Mjnnesota, Patti's family moved to San Diego when she was only two years old. At Morse High School Patti excelled in two sports, gymnastics and swimming. In her junior year '!he placed second in CIF competition in the trampoline and fourth in vauiting. Patti swam to CIF all four years and placed first in her events: butterfly , backstroke, and the individual medley.
slight difference because of rustance and quality of stroke." The practice of weight training and conditioning is relatively new. Patti says that there was a time when coaches felt that an athlete should work out in his / her specific sport exclusively. Times have changed though. "Dreama Wolsh (top women's swimmer) competed in cross country to condition for the swim season ." said Waterman. Asked whether the revelation of Billie Jean King's relationship with another woman is seen as a setback for women in sports. "I hope society will overlook the whole affair and remember her contributions to sports and the waves she made there. " Added Waterman, "I'm sure
there are a few men who have similar stories to tell." On the agenda for next year a new women's sport will be introduced, soccer. Patti and some other coaches drew up plans and the 1981-82 sports season will see soccer in action throughout the state. Waterman forecasts a winning season next year for softball and swimming Financially. the outlook is not bright, but there are no definite cutbacks as yet.
Patti will take a semester leave in fall to spend time with her new baby. She will return in January to coach swimming and support women athletes whom she feels "always belonged in sports."

Even in the darkest sports moments this year the coaching staff maintained their sense of humor and optimism. In the words of football coach Mario Mendez, upon his squad's massacre by Pasadena 55-6, "Now I know what the Egyptians felt like when the Red Sea came back. However, I'm really proud of our kids ." Telescope's sports staff would like to thank Palomar Sports Information Director Kevin Cloherty for his help this past year. His sports releases and photos were of great assistance to our sports page.
GIRLFRIEND MOTIVATES SWIMMER
Elmore credits successes By Ken Baer Mission Conference "Swimmer of the Year," Doug Elmore pinpoints his successful wins this past season "with a little help from his friend." That friend is girlfriend and women's swim team mem her, Kathy Cundiff. "Kathy was such an inspiration; if it wasn't for her, I seriously doubt I would have made it to the state finals," stated Elmore. "She was with me in an everyday situation at workouts and really motivated me to strive for potential state titles." Elmore began swimming when he was seven years old. Born in Japan, Elmore's early swim practfces spanned two countries and four states. His dad was in the service, which explains his birthplace and early travels. In Guam Doug swam with the kids on base. He got involved in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) in Florida; Indiana had no AAU team, so Doug's interest faded slightly. In the Philippines the swim coach was his father, so Doug decided not to swim. Hawaii is where "everything started clicking." He got back into AA U competition, and swam the backstroke leg of the medley relay, which was clocked as the tenth fastest time in the nation for 13-14 year olds. Elmore's next move is known to Encinitas locals. Entering San Dieguito High School as a sopho-
more, he swam "all-league" his three years there. Coached by Palomar's current women's assistant coach, Bob Hoff, Doug also swam with Palomar team member, Scott Craig. Graduated in 1978, Elmore went to Cal State Northridge which was NCAA Division 2 swim championt his freshman year. "Because of conflicts with the coaching staff and lack of financial support from my parents, I began considering another school," said Elmore. "My sophomore year at Northridge I was a ''red shirt" and didn't swim. I decided to go home and then came to Palomar." Elmore was "impressed'" with Palomar's team. He came not knowing who would swim what. Sabri Ozun and Steve Kistler (co-captain with Elmore) helped Doug get serious this past season. "Coach Don Hubbard had interesting workouts whereas h e'd put a workout on the board and let you carry it out individually, as opposed to the Northridge team where the coach and squad come to the pool together, everyone swam together, and then leave as one," explained Elmore. Looking back O!l league competition, Doug feels the team would have beat their only loss against
Saddleback, had the sprinters not gotten "psyched-out." Personally, Doug feels he could have placed better in the 200 yard backstroke. "State officials began a new procedure with lanes three and six open for 'turbulence,' which makes it difficult to see the leader. When I finally did see him , I realized I was beat. In the 100 yard backstroke leg of the medley relay mytimewasthefastestin the nation for junior colleges. "Thursday night before my title swim I had Kathy with me, and she was a comforter. She settled my nerves and enabled me to get some sleep. We've helped out each other the whole season, but Kathy's presence at the state finals felt like something new, and I love her for it." . Doug will attend San Diego State University next spring and possibly jointhePalomarwaterpolosquadin ¡ the fall . Because of the time involved , Elmore doubts he will go for the 1984 Olympic Trials, but forsees making the NCAA Division 1 meet in March at S.D.S.U. Academically, Elmore will strive for a degree in athletictraining. "Iwouldreallylike to get on a professional baseball or football team as a trainer," stated Elmore. "That would be a different aspect of being an active member of a competitive team."

This is the rationale of Dennis Ray Turner, who placed first and third in poetry and first in short story writing in this year's Bravura magazine contest.
His first place short story is about an Iowa farm couple he used to
The Bravura, Palomar's annual literary magazine, was due to be released in late May. Turner's entries are not his first published works.
"My purpose in writing is to ventilate heads for insight to enter. If I can't write something that will blow a hole in a head, I won't bother."
Besides placing first in poetry in last year's Bravura, Turner's poems have been included in six anthologies. This summer his work will appear in a San Diego poetry journal, the Antenna. He has had 42 plays produced, some of which have won prizes. Turner Ornown as D. Ray to his friends and family) was born in "primitive times" in Phoenix.

At ''80 pounds lighter" he danced ballet. His appearances included a National Educational TV presentation. He was offered six dance scholarships, because as he modestly explains, "There is a need for poised male dancers to hold female bodies in a non-reckless manner."

I'm studying electronics in order to get a job in North County to be able to support my writing habits." Math is what attracts him to electronics. "I used to hate math_ It is wasted on the young." Now he sees it as a "shorthand method of thinking," and says, "a lot of years of schooling have gone into teaching me to think." Planning to continue at Palomar and take more math classes, Turner, who holds two AA degrees says, "Palomar has the best teachers. Better than any junior college I've been to."

Carillon clock tower becomes landmark By Joan Patterson Walking across this modem California campus, one often gets pangs of nostalgia for the stereotype ivy covered colleges as the carillon clock tower chimes "The Bells of St. Mary." Located on the lawn between the library and the dome the clock tower began with a design by an art student, Jeff Jones in the early 1970's. Edna Pulver, long time Patron of Palomar member, was contacted by the late John Barlow of the Art Department. He showed her Jones' sketch and suggested they erect a 15 foot tower. "After checking out location ideas and financing through the Patrons; Jim Hulbert of the Art Department suggested a 50 foot tower," said Mrs. Pulver. "This was quite an undertaking.
Many meetings and discussions later Harry Bliss of the Art Department came up with a sketch for the 50 foot tower. "Meanwhile, I contacted Keith Hutchens with San Diego Gas and Electric. I inquired if we could get some used utility poles for the structure. They ultimately donated the poles. "Bliss drew up the plans for the tower, including the requirements for the stress, code regulations and requirements for any campus structures. The plans had to then go through the state authorities for approval and were accepted. "Barlow and I had spent quite a bit of time working on this. Unfortunately, John had a massive heart attack and had to retire. Then it became my project. "I didn't know whether I could do it or not, continued Mrs. Pulver. "Who builds clock towers?" she
laughed. "When I got the costs, I gasped again. I went to the Wild Animal Park and talked to the superintendant of grounds, who gave me his records from building their tower. Their contractor was Louie Pauletto of the Louetto Construction Co. Louie's son Steve was a student here at the time. He was very enthusiastic and helped in the construction." Paul Rowe of Maas and Rowe Carillon Company in Escondido, installed the electronic chimes. They have installed others all over the world including the one at Balboa Park. The chimes are set to play five minutes before the hour. Learning Resources Director, Keith Hanssen, who oversees the music, says "We try to play a variety of things, changing the tapes for seasonal music, such as Christmas carols in December."

Sager will be returning from a sabbatical leave from the Behavioral Science Department, during which time he wrote the course text, An Invitation to Comparative Religion.
"Reflective observers see Americans as rather lonely people," commented Sager. "Families are fragmented. It is easy to become insensitive, even to one's self."
Sager, also, took an "inner journey to bring myself and my reflections together."
"I hope to help students become sensitive to themselves and their surroundings."
The course is designed "to enable students to understand the spiritual stance, including that taken by agnostics and atheists, and the implications of these positions."
Sager's personal research while on leave led him to attend a Catholic Charismatic conference in Albuquerque, and to study Islam at San Diego State.
Students will consider the tenants and practices of eastern religions which have sprung up in America, native American religions, cults,
Together with Roger Schmidt, an instructor at San Bernardine Community College, Sager has begun writing a new book, tentively to be called Inner Journey, and to be
published in 1984. Sager will also be teaching logic, world religions and Oriental philosophies.
Nursing program sets requirements Nursing admissions vary with each individual entry, but students are required one full year of science prerequisites. The generic program encourages high school students to have completed chemistry and algebra before graduation . This will shorten the application period. After the acceptance into the program the students will be responsible for a yearly physical examination and also for paying the cost for the program. In the first year the cost will be $625 and the second year $525. This will include purchasing of uniforms, pins, books, supplies, equipment and liability insurance.
Rowe helped the Patrons find a clock through a catalog from Holland. He stored it for them for a year. When the time came he and two other men installed the clock free. The face is enclosed in bronze plexi-glass. The hands and hour marking are coated with the finest quality double standard gold leaf. The design is built of redwood, with the exception of the utility poles at the base. "It took a little experimenting for the proper lights. Now at night the lighting is very soft and delightful," said Mrs. Pulver. "Two other towers in the north county area were built for $25,000, but we did ours for $17,350 by working harder and doing a lot of foot work." When it came time to start raising money, the Patrons put on a special book sale. Keith Hanssen and his wife made an Indian turquoise necklace. They donated it and chances were sold. Mrs. Pulver worked in registration at school and donated her earnings. The Patrons sold special notepaper and stationery as well as funds from their annual Pink Elephant ~ale.

Soon construction was ready to begin. The Palomar Development Foundation loaned $9,200 without interest, so they could proceed immediately. The loan was paid off in a year and a half. "The clock tower took three years of planning and hard work," said Mrs. Pulver. "With the help of many people it became a reality in October ofl975. ''Wejustkindofwentdayby day, step by step." Like the planetarium with its telescope and the Geodesic Dome, The Tower Clock has become a landmark here. "It will always be there," said Mrs. Pulver.
