Board, faculty rift widens over salary vote By James Colford After calling faculty members "bean-counting dissidents" and lashing out at a faculty newsletter for allegedly being "yellow," "sophomoric " "rebellious " and "terrorist,"' Governing ' Board members voted 4-0 to reject a Faculty Senate pay raise motion at the October 27 Board of Govemors meeting. The remarks by trustees Dr. William D. Boyce and Alan R Krichman came after Mark Edelstein, the Faculty Senate president, presented the motion that the Board grant to those "Whodidnotreceivea salary increment last year or who are no longer receiving salary increments, an increase in salary computed at the same percentage rate and effective on the same date as that granted the President of Palomar College." Apparently, the Faculty Senate and its parent organization, The
Faculty, were upset that Dr. Omar When questioned later on his H. Scheidt, the college president, basis for the -comment, Krichman received a two percent raise in July, asserted, "That is obvious ... there over and above the faculty's cost of was no logical reason for making the living raise. motion except to embarrass the During the October 27 meeting, Board and the president."

"yellow-tan color." At the Board meeting, Krichman sided with Boyce, but was more specific in his statements. " ... the so-called Fogcutter ... is about as yellow and sophomoric . . . a terrorist newspaper as I've ever read. I'm talking about sophomoric, picayune nonsense ... " Shortly thereafter, Krichman continued his verbal assault. "I've lashed out," he said, ''not at classified staff or the faculty-atlarge., but at a few bean-counting dissidents who have risen to positions of authority and are, therefore, being heard." The Board then rejected the Senate's motion, and Krichman concluded discussion on the topic with a monologue that included an allusion to the faculty's being children who ''test the boundaries." During a later interview, when
askad if he sees himself as "a father figure" to the faculty, Krichman joked, "Maybe that is a bad choice of words - mother figure might be better." But he conceded that, "Maybe the Fogcutter is speaking for the faculty." Since then, some faculty members have guessed that Boyce's and Krichman's comments might serve only to widen a preexisting rift between Board/administration and the faculty. Edelstein speculated that the Board's action might unify the faculty and rally support for the Fogcutter. The faculty and board/administration have clashed previously on issues such as ownership of television courses, grade inflation, eleven-month faculty contracts, and administrative expansion. Fogcutter has been a outspoken critic of some administration policies.

Border Patrol arrests alien in parking lot Border Patrol officers apprehended an undocumented worker here on campus on October 29. The chase began at the MexicanAmerican border at 4 p.m. Three undocumented workers ran the border stop and proceeded to drive north in the south bound lanes of Interstate 5. The undocumented workers were being chased by two Border Patrol cars. At times the chase was up to speeds of 130 miles per hour. The undocumented workers tumed off Interstate 5 to Interstate 15, and at this point the San Marcos Sheriffs were called to aid the Border Patrol. The chase ended quickly when one of the Border Patrol cars rammed the car driven by the workers in parking lot #9. One of the workers was apprehended at the scene. The two others that were in the car fled into the brush to alludetheBorderPatrol and the assisting Sheriffs.

Controversy brews over tutoring funds By Nancy Angelo Funds for tutoring have been a topic of heated dispute for the past few weeks. With one side saying that there is sufficient money for nonExtended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) student tutoring without ASG funds, and the other side arguing that there is not, the debate continues. The disagreement began at the October 22 ASG meeting. At that time, the former treasurer Travis Windenstated that$68,000 had been given to EOPS. Of this, $11,000 was available for non-EOPS student tutoring. Dr. David Chappie, Dean of Student Services, however, says that there is $10,000 available from the district, not EOPS funds, .with the other $1,000 coming from ASG. According to Dr. Chappie this money is "purely wages for the tutors," and will just maintain the "status quo". With $15,000 for nonEOPS student tutoring last year, the money ran out. To express their "displeasure in the action taken by the Associated Student Budget Committee to cur-

As yet, the matter of how much funding the ASG will provide for non-EOPS tutoring is undecided, but it will certainly be thoroughly discussed.
Art furnace repaired by students By Warren Hardy Students in the Art Department are using their know-how to save thousands of dollars per year. The repair of the glass melt furnace by students costs from $200 to $300 as compared to $4 or $5,000 if done on the outside, according to Robert Creacy. Creacy, a student here, has been involved in the glass media since 1974, and has a Master's degree in Theater Arts (Fullerton).He became interested in glassblowing after seeing a demonstration. " I was hypnotized by the roar of the furnace and the rotating glowing red glass." Creacy pointed out that,"besides blowing glass bubbles, we are trained in the maintenance of the furnace and in the making of our own tools for working the glass." "The repairing of a furnace is a cooperative effort of from two to five students at a session. Constant repair is necessary due to the fact that the fire bricks go as fast as the glass does." "In the melt furnace, molten glass penetrates the pores of the brick, freeing silicon. The glass affects the brick, and the brick affects the glass. Without the maintenance of the students, the cost would become excessive." "When the furnace is going, it is a kind of marriage, for a glassblower is involved with it one way or another." "We also make our own glass here by mixing 100 pounds of pure sand with 56 pounds of eight different fluxes and oxides. These materials are combined in a cement mixer, and turned for ten minutes. This mix is then ready for the melt furnace. It takes about one day of blasting heat to bring the material up to the necessary temperature of 24 to 2500 degrees." Ten years ago Val Sanders of the Art Department introduced the student art sale here. Glassware, ceramics, prints, and other art products were put on sale three times a year. At a Christmas sale, for instance, as much as $20,000 would be taken in, and of this, 20 percent would be returned to the school. In this way the Art Department acquired needed funds to pay for the operation and maintenance of its equipment, and to support itself.

Women vie for position at regionals
Williams excels on, off gridiron
Entering the Southern California Regionals for the fourth straight year, the women's cross country team will be supported by top runners Rhonda Wakefield, Pat McNary, Sharon Chrisney and Suzi Trask tomorrow at Citus-hosted Bonelli Park. Under first-year coach Tracy Jeffery, the female Comets placed third in last Friday's Mission Conference finals, behind College of the Desert and Southwestern. In that meet, Wakefield was the first Comet to cross the finish line in 11th place with a time of21:49.5. She was followed by Chrisney, MeN ary, Trask and Lori Dowdy. Action for tomorrow's Southern California Regionals begins at 10 a.m. The men's cross country team placed seventh at the Mission Conference finals to end the 1981 season. They finished one-point behind sixth-place College of the Desert. Coach Doc Marrin commented that seventh place "was pretty much where we figured we'd be, but we had one of our best team races." Tom Shepard beat out #1 Comet runner Lance Ryberg by threetenths of a second for 17th place. Shepard finished in 23:18.5 to Ryberg's 23:18.8. Brian Pelta, Brian Murphy and Jesus Ramirez also placed well for the Comets.
By Fentriss Winn Statistics have a way of indicating a player's accomplishments and value to the team. However, for one Comet player his statistics won't indicate just how much he contributes to the Comet attack. Dan Williams is a six foot one inch, 205 pound center. In a sport where touchdowns win games, and interceptions and tackles are signs of a good defense, Williams doesn't get the credit he deserves. A graduate of Mt. Carmel High School, he is an experienced center."! played center for eight years, I'm used to the lack of publicity," Williams said. Williams only played his senior year at Mt. Carmel after moving here from Central Michigan. As a freshman at Palomar, he was a back-up for center Phil Opstad, now at-the University ofRichmond. Williams, a business major, not only works hard on the football field but in the classroom as well where he carries a 3.4 grade point average. He hopes to get a football scholarship at the close of the season. "l would like to go to a school with a winning program, and where football is fun." Williams has received a few letters from interested schools. Head coach Mario Mendez thinks Williams' chances at a scholarship are better than average. The coaching staff says he has improved tremendously since coming to Palomar. The question mark was his size, a bit small for a college lineman. That doesn't seem to be a problem for him any more. "I've gotten stronger, and quicker to make up for what I lack in size," he said. He credits his improvement to hard work."Dan Houghton and I lifted weights all summer." Offensive line coach Bob Lusky says Williams is a fine lineman. He
not only has good skills, but is very intelligent. "He is a leader on the field and a very intense player," Lusky said. Williams has been graded out as the top lineman for every game this year. Coach Mendez gave an indication of how good Williams is when he said,"Without a center of Dan's caliber, we could possibly be 0-7." Williams who has always been an athlete, understands that football won't be around forever. "l would like to start a sports shop one day, or some type of business," he said. He is pleased with his accomplishments but is not satisfied.
"l am somewhat of a perfectionist." said Williams. In the classroom he, as always, has been a good student, and on the football field he gives his best. "I'm a competitor, and would like to totally dominate my opponets." He has no regrets about coming to Palomar, and gives a great deal of credit to the coaching staff and teamates."Coach Mendez gives everyone a chance to play and reach their potential." He feels the coaches are very knowledgeable, and thinks the team is better prepared than the previous season. "We're a lot closer unit than last year's team. We have more of a winning attitude. Williams sees junior college football as a stepping stone. "It is a second opportunity for players who the universities overlooked coming out of high school." He finds that college students have much more complex lives and don't support the team much. The lack of support however, has not slowed Williams down."! miss the big crowds and all the enthusiasm, but I understand the ages of college students, and that they have academic worries and other interests."

Kickers fin ish season with 6-1 trouncing Although the men's soccer team didn't have many victories this season, they showed they can go out with a bang. In their final game of the season, the Comets pounded San Diego City 6-1, last Friday. The win was their second of the season against six losses and four ties.
CHARGE! -Members of the soccer team fight for the ball in last week's match against San Diego City. The Comets finished the season by trouncing the Knights 6-1. (Photo by Sonny Miller)
Palomar had their entire second team squad play the entire first half. Taking advantage of the tired Knights, first team came in during the second half and made six scores. Jesus Cam rena had two, and Roy Oftedahl, Sal Alvarez, Franco D' Alessio, Theolkefel Ewalid each had one. Having compiled a 2-4-2 record in the Mission Conference, coach Frank Hankin, in his first year as a coach, accomplished what he had wanted this year. "We tried to use this season as a foundation for teaching these guys good fundamentals like good sportsmanship and good training habits." It already appears the team has gained optimism for next year's squad. Hankin stated,"The coaches are encouraged by the attitudes the guys showed through-out the season and many of them are already excited about coming out next year." Also last week, the Comets dropped a game to College of the Desert 3-0.
Woods just wasn't satisfied. Woods, now in his ninth year, will put his team to the test today when it hosts Ventura and San Diego City in their season opener. The past seasons have been very successful for the nine year veteran. So far, he has compiled a 118-10-2 overall record here at Palomar. With this year's talent, there is no reason why things should be different. "We have some real good people in guys like Kenny Jenkins, Clinton Kramer, Jon Head, Sal Lascari, Joe Ismay and Marquis Sims," said Woods. The Comets have 28 wrestlers seeking positions on the team, four of them returnees. Lascari will compete in the 142 pound class, Jenkins at 150, Kramer in the 167 pound category, Head at 177, Ismay at 126 and Sims at either 134 or 142. Unfortunately for the athletes, finding a starting position on the team will be pretty difficult. Palomar recruited men from all across the country. But fortunately for the fans, the 1981-82 wrestling team looks to be as exciting as ever.
Play-offs out for spikers After winning three conference matches in a row, the women's volleyball team lost two last week and in doing so eliminated themselves from playoff contention. The Comets bowed to Citrus 15-7, 11-15, 9-15, 15-8, 15-9 Wednesday and on Friday lost a crucial match to Saddleback 11-15, 10-15, 0-15. Strong performances by Pam Marshall and Ruthie Dessert, who had 21 kills, weren't enough against the tough Citrus team. "Our passing was very poor,"said coach Teri McFarland. Against Saddleback the team's concentration "totally broke down," according to McFarland. The Gauchos spoiled the locals hopes with very strong blocking and passing. The 5-5 Comets hope to get back on the winning track today when they travel to Southwestern to play the first place team in the Mission Conference.
San Diego hosts grids After having a week off, the gridders jump back into action tomorrow against San Diego City at 1:30p.m. Billed as the Toy Bowl, the game should be an interesting one. The locals who have been plagued with injuries, will see several starters back into the line up.
