New counseling
on schedule after delays
methods initiated
Construction workers at the new college library apparently encountered problems that forced a three-month construction delay , but Dr. Bonnie L Rogers, the dean of instructional resources, indicated that construction is now "on schedule." According to Don Mason, the job superintendent for Louetto Construction, more rock than was anticipated had to be blasted from the site. By the time the excess rock was pulverized and removed, work was three months behind schedule. An additional problem that Mason said was a mistake that "sounded like a big mistake" occured when the north end of the 55,000-square-foot main library building foundation was layed out and poured two feet off center. Mason gave assurances that the mistake will have no adverse effect on the three-story library itself, but that the library will not be square with other buildings in the area. Despite having had a few mishaps in construction so far , Dr. Rogers seems pleased with the construction project and with the building itself. She maintains that the library is not an "architectural monument," butis a "functional as well as beautiful bUilding." The ground floor of the library will handle services such as the reading resource center, audio-visual graphic production, film previewing, and other AV production studies. A spiral staircase will lead to the second floor section with reference, circulation, and new magazine and book areas. Sections of the second floor will be quiet areas set aside for study. Dr. Rogers hopes that construction will proceed smoothly so that the building will be finished and ready to be occupied by next January. If all goes well she plans to make the move during the semester change.
Gallery features etchings, ceramics The Boehm Gallery will feature artistic talents of painter-drawer Robert Freeman and ceramist Richard White, January 20 through February 15. The Freeman exhibit will show forty of his etchings depicting his Indian heritage. Since 1961 Freeman has won over 200 National Indian Art awards in oil painting, watercolor, 1pen and ink, and sculpture. Also on display will be the ceramic ingenuity of Richard White. His creative emphasis will be in the functional and non-functional ceramics, both high fire and raku.
To reach increasing numbers of students during pre-registration in January and February, the counseling department is initiating a new process for expanded academic advising. Small groups of students will be provided with the information they need to successfully plan their academic program. "It is our hope that students will

Drunk driving rules changed The seriousness of the drinking driver problem in the State of California has prompted the Governor to sign several bills which increase the penalties against driving under the influence of alcohol and/ or other drugs. Beginning this month drinking .iriver laws are tougher and the l)enalties are more severe and unavoidable. For most drunk driving offenses, fines and jail sentences have been increased. Suspended, restricted, or "evoked licenses will be the rule. Also driver improvement and treatment programs for persons with alcohol problems are now required.

Slivkoff sworn in as newest trustee Emphasizing again his commitment to greater interaction between the college and its community, especially with regard to area businesses, James Slivkoff of Escondido was r~cently sworn in and seated as the newest member of the Palomar College District board of trustees. Slivkoff, 60, currently manages the family's Vista avocado ranch and retired last year as a career counselor with the San Diego City School District. He was one of three candidates for the only contested
seat in the November election, that of Ilia Mitchell of Fallbrook. During his campaign, Slivkoff stated that since Palomar is a very well-managed institution, there were no real issues. However, he felt a blue-ribbon committee should be established to involve the citizenry in long-range planning for the college. He also stressed that, because of the vulnerability of public education due to financial cutbacks over the past few years, community involvement with .the college through in-
creased communications is essential. He noted that a comprehensive public speaking program wherein each board member would regularly address service clubs and community organizations would be one way to improve the link between community and college district. During his more than 25 years experience in education, Slivkoff has been a teacher, counselor, administrator, attended Mira Costa College and received his master's degree in counseling from San Diego State University.
In addition to his employment in education, Slivkoffhas served as an elected officer of the California Teachers Association, the National Education Association, the California Teachers Federal Credit Union, and as president of the Palomar Mountain Mutual Water Company board. His extensive involvement in professional, legislative, and community work, he feels, gives him the ability to work in harmony with faculty, administration, community members and fellow trustees.
be better serviced through our new process," said counseling chairperson Noelia Vela. Students may make their appointments for group counseling in the Counseling Office, or by calling 744-1150 extension 2179 or 2180. Each student is responsible for bringing a personal copy of his or her Palomar transcripts with them to the appointment. The transcripts are available at the Records Office. The records office needs 24 hours notice to provide a copy of the transcripts. A counselor assistant will meet with the students at the first small group session, to help evaluate transcripts and in planning future programs. In addition to academic advisement, the Counseling Department provides career planning, personal counseling, and testing services. A Guidance Information System provides computerized information on occupation, and schools and colleges throughout the United States. The Career Library, located in lr5, houses information on job searches, descriptions of 11,000 occupations and information on state and local government jobs. Students are invited to select those services which can best assist them in their college career.
Center has Book Swap Students can benefit by both selling and buying their books through the Book Swap. The Book Swap begins January 25, and will continue for 30 days. "This is students helping students, and supporting the Student Help Center," notes Help Center Director Carol Hanley of the semi-annual Book Swap. The savings for buyers are the reduced costs of the used books compared to new book costs. Sellers need no receipts and the Help Center recommends that students sell their books for twothirds of their original cost as compared to the one-half of the original cost students would receive from the book store. Another benefit of using the Book Swap is that it helps to support the Student Help Center. They charge $1 per book sold. These 'revenu,es are used to pay for guest speakers, the appearance of Santa Claus at Christmas, supplies and other projects: The Student Help Center is located in R-7, next to the Student Union. Their hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday thru Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday. Students with any questions can call 744-1150, extension 2599.

'Nameless' blends into campus By Eric Bumiller You may know him from one of your classes here at Palomar. With his faded Levi's, T-shirt and daypack full of books slung over his shoulder, he tends to blend right into the campus. In class, he usually picks a seat in the back row, and at best looks only mildly interested in whatever is going on. The person being described here is not unique. He is, in fact, little more than the average student. With the promise that he would remain nameless, this person agreed to relate what it is like to be an "average" student, and why he is satisfied with being "a middle point between extremes". When referred to as an average student, he throws back his head and laughs, but admits the label fits him quite well. "Give me a 'C' on a test and I'm satisfied, because I only study enough to get a passing grade anyways! "If I happen to get a higher grade, fine, but really my only goal is to get a passing mark."

Industrial Technology trains for tomorrow By Bill Tharp "Industrial Technology is coming into its own," says Willie Golden, department chairperson. Golden has been involved with businessmen of the community who are interested in the program. These men are owners of businesses that need people trained at Palomar. Meetings are held to update the training program so it will move as fast as the industries are moving. The machine advisory committee helps set up training and when fp.;n..ds become a vail able sees that the right,equipment is purchased. A separate committee is set up for each' phase of industrial arts. The auto mechanic will be trained to diagnose what is wrong with the vehicle and be able to repair it. Mechanics will be trained with the latest equipment. A body man will know what has to be done to remove certain damage to the frame or body. He will also be trained in the new art of plastic welding. Welders will be trained to know how much heat is required for a given metal. The welder is able to
run a "bead" (welding two pieces of metal together) that will pass the xray test. Palomar will set up a class on Saturday by which the auto mechanic, now involved in the trade may stay abreast of today's technology. Golden estimates that three to five percent of the class will be women. He also mentioned there is a class open for women who are interested in automotive repair This class is also available for men but at the present is full. "Woodworking," according to Golden, ''is a popular class for both men and women." Basic woodworking teaches the safe way to operate equipment, how to read blueprints and make material ''take off' so you do not waste wood. "In the second year," says Golden, "the student is able to design a project, then complete it by ordering everything from the amount of wood to the last coat of wax. Both first and second year students have won blue ribbons at the San Diego fair."
Course teaches home video Are you thinking about buying a video system for your home or business? Or, do you already have one, but want to get the most out of it? A new course, "An Introduction to Home and Business Video," is being offered. Students will get hands-on experience with video cassette recorders, cameras, video discs and
projection TV's, and learn how to film TV programs. The class will meet Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 starting February 9. The course code is TC 003, section 83615. Pre registration is January 26-29 and February 1-5. Students may register at the first class meeting in room F-3.
Chorale group needs singers The Chambers Singers are looking for new members. The class,which is held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 1 to 3 p.m., is instructed by David Chase, the conductor of the La Jolla Symphony Chorus. Students enrolled in this course will have the opportunity to experience performance with a professional orchestra. Also, the
Chambers Singers hope to take their performance on tour, visiting various festivals around California this spring. For details regarding joining the Chambers Singers, students should call David Chase at Extension 2316. An audition will be arranged which is a "five minute and no preparation" job.
He talks about how his roommate a student at SDSU, will sometimes sit up all night studying for a test. "He doesn't understand me, and I don't understand him, but we manage to get along most of the time O.K. The guy is a bundle of nerves, man, the way he worries about school and everything .. ." He pauses, and chews reflectively on a blade of grass. "If you want to keep your sanity, you've got learn not to take everything so seriously." We walk towards the parking lot and climb in to his battered old Volkswagen, which is obviously one of the things that he does not take seriously. "It's a classic," he says with a grin. It's ten o'clock on a Wednesday morning and he mentions that he's missing his algebra class as he points the dented front end of his bug towards the beach. "I usually skip at least one of my four classes every day. I use the hour to do homework or to sit in my car and listen to the radio; maybe read a magazine or something". He carries twelve units, attending school Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from eight to noon. He has a part-time job driving a delivery truck for an auto parts store that occupies most of the days that he does not attend school. Stopping first at a liquor store to purchase a couple of beers using a fake I.D., he parks on a bluff overlooking the ocean. " I would definitely rather be sitting here than in my algebra class." When he talks about the future he is vague. "What the hell, you know? I'll go to Palomar for a couple of years, maybe transfer to a university, or maybe go to work. Who knows?" He emits an air of selfconfidence that gives people the impression he'll succeed in whatever it is he'll do. "Even though I skip class fairly frequently, I have yet to fail one. Just gimme the 'C' average, man; that's all I ask." Involvement in school activities does not interest him. "It doesn't interest me if people think that I'm apathetic.", he jokes. Anticipating the nearing skiseason, he remarks that he may be missing a few more classes so that he can go skiing. After again making sure his name won't be used, ("All I need is for one of my teachers to read about how much I 'enjoy' their class"), he says that he'd better get back to school so that he can make his eleven o'clock class. "I missed it last time," he says.

The Telescope, Tuesday, January 19, 1982- 3
Music critic selects top 12 albun1s By Rick Bell In this space last year you saw the Telescope's editor review his top ten albums of 1980. This year, you get to see the Telescope's ex-editor's best twelve (two more than last year; lucky you) discs of 1981. 1981 saw some fine music, as well as some awful stuff put down on vinyl. New acts stormed the airwaves, like Rick Springfield, Adam and the Ants, the GoGo's, David Lindley, David Frizzell, Shelley West, and Juice Newton, to name a few . The best instrumental album of 1981 wound up in a tie between the Dregs and Johnny Gimble. The group UB-40 gets the nod for top reggae disc of the year. Forget that they're white and come from England. The fact remains that it's a fantastic release . Top dog in jazz (for the second year in a row) is David Crisman, the creator of 'Dawgmusic'. His release with Stephane Grappelli wa s the high point of early 1981. Numero Uno song of the year is Rosanne Cash's 'I can't Resist', off her sensational 'Seven Year Ache' LP. You can find it on some jukeboxes on the flipside of 'My Baby Thinks He's a Train'. With no further adieu, my top 12; 12 . Rolling Stones 'Tattoo You'. Stones tear up the world with another outstanding album .
11 . Little Feat's 'Hoy Hoy' . A double album packed with classic Feat material, some live and some studio . Makes you wish they were still together. 10 . The Who's ' Face Dances'. The Who do it again, overcoming the tragic loss of Keith Moon while still recording some of the most powerful rock and roll of 1981 . 9. Joe Ely's 'Live Shots' and 'MustaNotta Cotta Lotta '. Ely is the bright star on the horizon of rock music. His two release s

Also gets the vote for Best Produce r of 1981. He produced three other albums , as well as his own . They were, Rosanne Cash's ' Seven Year Ache', 'South Coast of Texas' by Guy Clark, and Bobby Bare's 'As Is' album . 6. English Beat's 'Wha'Ppen'. The Beat have to be the best ska band anywhere, following up a fine first disc with an even better second o ne . 5 . Todd Rund gren's 'Healing'. This album produced many hours of pleasurable, relax-
Opinion
made 1981 that much better a year musically . Any musician that can get away with playing a Hank Williams song to a crowd at a Clash concert and get a riotous applause must be a genius . 8. Squeeze's 'East Side Story'. Glen Tilbrooks and friends subtle but intense assault made quite an impression on rock music . Having Elvis along for the ride didn't hurt , either. 7 . Rodney Crowell's 'Rodney Crow ell'. The man is one fantastic songwriter, and displays admirable singing talents as well.

ing listening. 4. Dave Edmund 's 'Twangin'. Dave and the lads perform some grea t rockacountry, or countrybilly, or w hatever. He does it better than Joe Ely. 3. Merle Haggard's 'Rainbow Stew', ' Big City', a nd 'Songs For the Mama that Tried'. The Hag come s out with three outstanding releases in one year. That's cause fo r celebration in itself. The tr ue jewel of the three is the 'Mama Tried ' disc. It's a soulful statement of Merle 's love for the Lord . 2. Elvis Cos tello's 'Trust' and 'Almost Blue'. El vis pay s tr ibute to legendary
songwriters like Gram Parsons, George Jones, and Merle Haggard on 'Alm9st Blue', while he creates some great songs of his own on 'Trust'. This man is in a class by himself. 1 . Emmylou Harris' 'Evangeiine' and 'Cimarron'. These are the two runaway best albums of the year. I consider the two as if she released a double album, only eleven months apart. Some of the best musicianship, production, and vocals of any year will be found on these discs . You have it folks, the twelve best records of 1981. Before I end this, there are some other comments I have to pass along about this year. Two albums that were made in 1980 but weren't brought to my attention until this year were Spectrum's 'Opening Roll' LP and a classic by Hank Cochran entitled 'Make the World Go Away'. Both are outstanding albums and deserve a bit of recognition . Worst Record Award is a tie . Ozzy Osbourne's first album and Ozzy Osbourne's second album . He's got a good chance of getting this prestigious award next year if he releases anothe r album. Nobody, but nobody deserves it more than the ol' O z. That about wraps up this year's best . Have a good 1982, and remember no matter how weird or how bad the music is, at least it's mu sic, which in most cases is better than none at all.
READER'S FORUM
Opinions offered on editor, paper Editor: As with most other advanced high schools, Palomar College has its own school newspaper. The role of the newspaper seems to be to allow journalism students a chance to apply their classroom instruction in a practical way. If this is true, then it is safe to assume that the staff on such a newspaper would be practicing responsible journalism. Unfortuantely this assumption is erroneous . An example of this gross irresponsibility in journalism was printed in the December 15,1981 issue of the Telescpoe. The article in question was printed under the "Opinion" section by Lois Humphreys, the editor-in-chief and author of three of the four "Opinion" articles. She begins erroneously by reporting that the Maintenance Department cart race will start on a Friday at 12 noon. This is obviously wrong because there are not nearly enough students on the sidewalks on any Friday to run the slalom race. It has to be held on a Monday, the one and only day most students show up . As for the mention of maintenance workers practicing for the race by rushing down for their coffee breaks, Humphreys again glows in her ignorance . Any student knows that Palomar's heroic maintenance workers do not drink coffee, but rather massive amounts of beer. Ms . Humphreys continues with her hilarious comments on Porsche engines, a misquotation concerning the safety of racing on crowded sidewalks, and boorish attempts to warn students. To begin with, the maintenance department is barely lucky enough to get new batteries, let alone Porsche engines. The mysterious source of her quotation boasted of "very few fatalities on the course," when in fact there have been no fatalities . The record clearly shows that none of the maintenance workers has been even injured, much less killed . Her reference to the blowing of horns is also libelous because, in fact, the electrician has not yet been able to figure out how to get the horns to work. In addition, the maintenance department has a policy prohibiting any warning to potential race victims, the price to be paid for glory . Ms . Humphreys concludes by again misquoting . She erroneously states that the winners will receive a pai1 of binoculars for first prize . First prize is, in reality, a camera, so the winner can catch those memorable cheesecake shots. These shots are, of course, because of the lewdly arranged and minuscule amount of clothing worn by the
majority of Palomar 's female student body . It is this type of reporting that will, I am sure, earn Humphreys quite a reputation in the field of journalism. If the editor's abuse of still another educational tool is any example of what this generation of student journalists intends to produce, then it is safe to assume tha t futur e newspapers will be good for one purpose, toilet paper! - Kim Wennermark
Grievances w e re presented to Dean Chappie and Dr. Burns by a group of students but they were NOT representing the Undefea ted Club, as stated by Mr. Hand .
***
The students acted on their own accord and the fact that they are members of the Undefeated Club is irrevelant .
Editor : I would like to take this opportunity to personally congratulate Lois Humphreys for the outstanding job she has done as Editorin-Chief of the Telescope. As we all must reach for higher goals in life, so must Lois . Her style and tactful abilities have added tremendously to the success of one of the truly finer community college newspapers . I would like to wish you the best, Lois, as you extend your horizons at UCSD. Thanks for all of your help and support to the students of Palomar, it will not be forgotten. -Jeff Urry, ASG legislator
Editor: As Secretary of the Undefeated Club, I would like to say that in the Teles cope's Dec. 15 issue a small but significant error w as made in the Editorial by Ray Hand .
The Club has over 140 members. To say that there was complete approval from each member to take actions agai nst Mr. Gene Zevin, Director of Handi capped Services, would not only be ridiculous but impossible . As it were, most members h ad no knowledge of the activitie s of thi s small gro up . This group of students may have acted with good intent for the welfare of others as well as themselves, but they did so representing only themselves. Lynn Nusbaum, Secretary Undefeated Club
Allies n.pl. A~ Of nations united agains~ another...
Editor : As a former and returning student at Paloma r College I was disturbed in regard to the letter about Gene Zevin (Telescope, December 15, 1981 .) Nine years ago, as a new s tudent at Palomar, Mr. Zevin gave me the courage to overlook my disability and encouraged me to further my education to reach life goals. Mr. Zevin worked and fought for the basic idea of helping the disabled entering a normal environment. He started the handicapped program here at Palomar and watched it grow into a multi-faceted program . He is currently on an ad hoc committee at the state level trying to keep funds for the college-bound handicapped student. Before we condemn a person on his insensitivity let us look at his full devotion to his cause . We need more people like Mr. Zevin. He was a grea t factor in my life and will help anyone who seeks help . - Richard Hiene

Skiing: Winter's pastime By David Yamasaki Warm rays ofthe sun and the cool breeze of the mountain air surround your body. You feel a sense of freedom, a way from school and work, yielding to the excitement and challenge of skiing. Snow Skiing has become one of the biggest pastimes in the country. From coast to coast, skiers can be seen "getting wild" on the slopes. For most students at Palomar, the arrival of the semester break kicks off the 1982 ski season. Fortunately most skiers don't have to travel very far to find the snow. California is one of the finest states in the country for skiing. The state offers such fine resorts such as Mammoth, Tahoe, and Squaw Valley. Mammoth, one of the biggest resorts in the state, provides skiing for the novice , intermediate, or more experienced skier. Squaw Valley is yet another northern California resort that has become a favorite hideaway. But here in Southern California, ski resorts such as Snow Summit, Goldmine, and Mountain High-
Holiday Hill have become the poJr ular spots. Approximately two and a half hours away, each offers long and steep runs and slopes for the begining skiers. Although it is one of the most popular sports around, downhill does not stand alone in the broad sport. Cross-country skiing is yet another style booming in popularity. It offers excellent exercise, and is great for those who enjoy the outdoors .

Cagers face tough foes as league play begins By Fentriss Winn Head basketball coach Andy Gilmour hopes his Comets can shake the Jekyll and Hyde personality they have shown in preconference action. The team sports a 5-13 record after losing two of three in the seventh annual Palomar Christmas Classic. With Mission Conference action upon them, toe Comets have to be more consistent if they hope to battle for . the top spot. The 5-13 record indicates that the Comets have been an inconsistent team more often than not. Conference action figures to be tough for the Comets this season. The opening game against Riverside was a good indication. Riverside, one of the state's top-rated teams, took advantage of numerous Palomar turnovers and the local's inability to score clutch baskets as the Tigers came away with a 74-51 win. \ Coach Gilmour's team was in trouble from the start, without starters Julius Pettigrew and Kevin Chism.

Grapplers capture sixth pIace at C aI P0 Iy tourney By DaveY amasaki Already half way through the1r season, the wrestling team took a sixth place spot at the Cal-Poly Tourney January 5. " We did real well against California community college wrestlers, but the Arizona teams and the Cal Poly freshmen took us out of some crucial bouts," said co¡a ch John Woods. The Comets got some fine performances from their consistantly good grapplers. Joe Ismay,. 12~pounds, Ken - Jenkins, 142, Marcus Sims,150, each went home with third place victories. Jon Head, wrestling at 177, took fourth while Clint Kramer nabbed fifth.
were topped 26-20. The Palomar wrestling program has been successfull year after year. Having captured the South Coast :::::onference last season, it comes as really no shock that the team is doing as well as it is. One reason for the teams success is for their fine talent. Recognized for this, the Comets have two wrestlers that will compete in the North-South All-Star Classic. Being held here at Palomar, Ismay and Kramer will represent the Comets. Ismay holds a 21-5 record and won both the Cuesta and Palomar tournaments, and took third and fourth at Cal Poly and Fullerton. Kramer's record stands at 19-7, and took first at Palomar and captured second' fourth and fifth at Fullerton, Cuesta and Cal Poly.
Chabot College, one of last years state champs, was first at the tourney.

Against San Bernadino January 9, Palomar played well for 34 minutes, but it was the same old story as San Bernadino took advantage of some defensive breakdowns by the Comets and costly turnovers to post a 70-61 victory. The loss dropped the Comets to 0-2 in conference play and 5-12 overall. "We have really got to stop giving up the ball," Gilmour said. "We would be right in some games, if we weren't making so many mistakes." The Comets, who have looked like a contending team at times, and at othertimeshavelookedlikeasquad
that will finish in the bottom half of the conference, will have to cut down on 16.2 turnovers per game and 44 turnovers in the first two conference games. They have shot a cold 40.3 field goal percentage. Sophomore guard Robert Martin has been the offensive threat in conference, scoring 28 points in two games. Martin is averaging 9.5 points and 3.1 assists per game overall. The host Comets opened tourney action against a highly regarded Mt. San Antonio team. Palomar used a well balanced game plan as they controlled the ball on offense to get good shots. On defense !hey pressured Mt. SAC into a hurried offense. However, some costly turnovers in the final two minutes let Mt. SAC come away with a narrow 58-56 win. "We played well, but some turnovers hurt us at the end," said Gilmour. Gil Blackman led three Comets in double figure scoring with 21 points. Julius Pettigrew and Mark Ryan had 10 each. Derek Moore, an alltournament selection, led the winners with 28 points. The Comets got a chance to avenge an early season loss in a consolation bracket contest against Cuesta. Three Palomar sophomores propelled the Comets to a 61-52 victory. Robert Martin, with timely outside shooting, tallied 14 points, while the inside play of Pettigrew and Bud larson accounted for 10 and 11 points, respectively. "We played good defense, and ran the offense well," said Gilmour. "If we can do that consistently we can be a good team." In the next game an inconsistent
team was beaten by Glendale 85-71 in the consolation championship. The loss offset a strong performance by Pettigrew who scored 20 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and added four assists. Pettigrew hit an amazing 10 of 11 shots from the field. Kevin Chism added 10 points and Ryan 11. "We've been playing well, but not winning," Gilmour said. "Things are going to have to start going in our favor, and we must continue to play good steady ball, because the Mission Conference is very tough this year from top to bottom." If the Comets are to be a serious challenge for the conference title, coach Gilmour knows his team must show more unity. "We have the talent to be winners, but the overall team attitude is discouraging at times." The coach indicated that theymustdevelopmental toughness along with their physical talent. Long Beach City won the tournament championship by defeating Pasadena. Mt. SAC was victorious over College of the Canyons, good for third place.
The all-tournament team was led by M.V.P. Johnny Wilkes of Long Beach City. Other members of the team were Dan Hornbuckle (Glendale) , Greg Trapp (Canyons), Walt Jackson (Pasadena), and Moore (Mt. SAC). Leading the Comets in scoring after 15 games is Pettigrew. He is averaging 10.4 points per game and is pulling down an average of seven rebounds per outing. Guards Martin and Chism are both at nine points per game, and tied in total assists at 50. Forward Ken Smith is the fourth leading scorer on the squad averaging 8.3 per game.
