Dr. Scheidt answers faculty critics Teachers want College board GiD TltE TElEscopE adminstration stands behind superintendent By Ted Witt, Escondido Times-Advocate Palomar College President Omar Scheidt is under fire from his faculty, which has given him poor marks in a job evauluation survey replete .with complaints about mismanagement, communication breakdowns and lack of attention to academics. But the college's Board of Governors remains firmly behind Scheidt. The problems with faculty relations, they say, are a direct result of Scheidt's difficult task of making Palomar's expenditure's equal the college's shrinking revenues. Real or perceived, the problems are affecting the morale of faculty, according to teachers, who say they are on edge anyway with the threat of massive cuts and layoff notices hovering over campus. The critical evaluation ofScheidtalso comes in a year during which faculty raises were canceled because of the tight budget. The unofficial faculty newsletter, the Fogcutter, has gone so far as to suggest Scheidt be replaced. More than half the respondents to a Faculty Senate evaluation of Scheidt's performance rated the president negatively, said Steve Hinthome, Senate President. Faculty members interviewed said they believe that Scheidt has failed to adequately include the faculty in decision-making. They also are upset about actions and recommendations to: Lengthen the period between paychecks for hourly employees. Hire new administrators before faculty members were satisfied that specific job duties were defined. Use a computer to determine seniority for instructors hired on the same day, a task long required by state law but riddled with mistakes when recently completed. Faculty members say Scheidt's actions make it appear that he puts the college's business concerns ahead of academic concerns. The evaluation is the faculty's second negative report in as many years, although Scheidt fared slightly better in this year's survey than the previous one, according to Hinthome. It has been shared with the Palomar College governing board in closed session. Not intended for wide circulation, the evaluation has been available only to Scheidt, the board and faculty members. A summary of the Scheidt's evaluation appeared in the faculty's unofficial newsletter, the Fogcutter, whose reports are unattributed and routinely critical of the administration. The trouble with the evaluation, says Scheidt, is that its comments are made anonymously, and he wants specific suggestions for improvement. If a problem e~dsts, he says, he wants to know where to go to solve it. Scheidt disagrees that he does not give sufficient attention to teachers' opinions or that he is lax in communicating with the faculty. Charges of poor communication are easy to make and are untrue, said Scheidt. He said he regularly holds forums and meetings which he calls "Conversations with the President." He walks the campus, attends plays, roots at football games, takes people out to lunch and drops in at various offices around the college. Unfortunately, he said, many of the forums he holds are not wellattended. Scheidt also said the faculty's evaluation reflects the divergent opinions of only 194 members of the faculty, less than half the teachers (Continued on page 2)

policy change
By Ann Kopecky, San Marcos Courier Staff Palomar faculty members claim they are not being listened to by the college's president, they are not consulted on decisions which effect their classes and there is a basic mistrust between the faculty and college president. Palomar President Omar Scheidt says faculty members are not being specific in their complaints and suggestions and just by releasing to the public their concerns, they have taken advantage of a confidence the faculty and president previously had. The accusations and defenses between Scheidt and faculty leaders became public recently when the results of a faculty evaluation of Scheidt, done in December, was openly discussed. That public discussion also upset members of the college's governing board, which met February 22. "It's discomforting to see it splashed all over the newspaper," said board member William Boyce. "I just haven't been impressed charges stemming from their poor evaluation of DIFFERENCE OF OPINION - Palomar with thefactthatourchiefexecutive him.

Governor finds new area of tax revenue- education By Chris Reynolds Well, it's back to school for me and just in time. I found out our new governor has found a new way to balance the state budget. Tax education.

WANT lHEM ...
It's time we started living in the real world. Share the responsiblity grown-up taxpayers have always had. From it we can learn an important history lesson: the true meaning of taxation without representation.
What a great idea. Students will be paying $30 for up to six units and $60 if they take
more. The more classes you take the more you pay, a concept that rarely applies to incomes. . Someone had better be sure to tell "Duke." With all the cuts to education budgets because of Proposition 13 and Reaganomics, there may not be enough courses offered to take more than six units. That could cut revenue. Still, I think it's about time we took on some responsibility. Don't you? After all it is our age group that keeps the world safe for democracy during wartime. It's only fair we pay to keep our economy safe during peacetime. Besides we all know how much income we college students have. We're always spending it on frivolous things like books, parking permits and lockers.
You see the money we pay won't go back into the school system for better education. It will go to the bureaucrats where it belongs. They know how to spend it much better than we do .
ASG president su1ns up se1nester
Anyway they've already taxed our vices, smoking and liquor (which some of us still can't indulge in). It's about time they taxed our virtues. Knowledge and curiosity, the need to know. Someone once said, "Curiosity killed the cat." Well the cat is learning about another of life's certainties - taxes, and our new governor is finding out there's more than one way to skin us. Maybe next he can try using state law enforcement to extort lunch money from elementary school kids, but then Reagan has already tried something along those same lines. Don't worry though. If you can't afford it, just send an 1-0-U; he'll understand.
By Jeff Urry I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for another successful semester at Palomar College. As a student, I found this semester to be one of my most c;hallenging. I received excellent instruction and help from m y instructors. As student body president, I found last semester to have been both successful and inspiring. With great anticipation we await the final nail in the construction of our new library, as well as the addition of a new Child Center, and the added benefits of primary care facilities at the Student Health Center. I feel that we in student gover nment have
been able to serve the students better, largely in part to the great amount of cooee~ation received from you. As we prepare ourselves for the bleak financial times ahead, it is nice to know that with the cooperation and leadership that exists at this institution we will fare much better than most. For only through this unique blend of cooperati<;>n and understanding will Palomar College survive the rough times ahead. I look forward to the spring semester, and please feel free to contact me at any time you feel that the Associated Student Government can be of assistance.

Faculty, Dr. Scheidt trade accusations (Continued from page 1) who have full-time contracts with the college. Mark Edelstein, English teacher and past president of the Faculty Senate, said Scheidt is perceived as one who gives soft answers to hard questions. Pointing to a Columbia University study, Edelstein said the major cause of a decline in morale among college faculties has been the failure of administrators to involve instructors in decision-making. "I think that is certainly the case at Palomar College." Tony Lynds, athletic director, said, "I think the administration is trying to pass it off as a few people who are dissatisfied. I think the evaluation was very representative of the entire faculty. If I were an administrator, I would be very concerned about what the faculty thinks about me." The Fogcutter this semester editorialized, "If good performance is the basis for retention, and indeed it should be, perhaps our president should be replaced . . . "To be sure, there were some favorable comments in the president's evaluation, but they are pale in comparison to the unfavorable ones, whose detail, tone and quantity demand they be taken seriously." The 58 year old president enjoys hearty support from the Board of Governors, whose own evaluation is the basis for Scheidt's contract extensions and raises. He earns $61,200 a year and is about to enter the third year of a four-year contract. Governing Board members last year branded faculty complaints as "puerile" and dismissed their newsletter as "sophomoric," "terrorist," "restive" and "rebellious." Board President Alan Krichman of Escondido declined to discuss the faculty evaluation specifically, but he said Scheidt is one of the top community college administrators
in the nation. He says the budget pressures have set faculty feelings on edge and that Scheidt and the board are in the position of attempting to keep morale as high as it can be under the circumstances. Krichman also says that even within the faculty, the ideas on where budgets should be trimmed are divergent. "Everybody wants the other fellows to be looked at with a microscope," he says. Tight budgets, says Krichman, have kept pressure on the community colleges since before Proposition 13 passed. Before the era of funding limits that Prop. 13 introduced, college administrators didn't face the kind of management pressures that Scheidt must deal with. A major concern expressed in the evaluation was that Scheidt was not perceived as an academician or an educator, but as a business
manager. (Continued from page 1) "I am a good business manager," said Scheidt, declaring he main- what happens in Palomar's tains a critical balance betwe~n classrooms. business and instruction.

ty is not listened to. "I would disagree with that. Everyone has a voice within the budget committee," he said. Scheidt himself had a small complaint - that the evaluation was being openly discussed. "This is done every year and I and the (governing) board discuss them. It's a confidential matter between the board and my office. But I guess someone took advantage of the newspapers and broke that confidence."

Rain stops opening of 'Infant Center' Recent persistent rainfall has sand-bagged the opening of the new Infant Center, originally scheduled to open March 1, according to Nadine Abbott, director of the Child Development Instructional and Services Center. "We need at least 10 consecutive days without rain before the Infant Center will be able to open, Abbott said, during last week's big storm. Applications for enrollment are being taken for infants and toddlers ages six to 15 months.

By Polly Filanc Three women won Golden Thread Awards at the Fashion Design Program's second annual fashion show January 21 in P-32. Fashion design students Blair Cooke, Carmen Villa and Georgia Blaco each received an 'Outstanding Designer' trophy which was presented by Andrea Marx, coordinator of the show and instructor in the Fashion Design program. Cooke received the women's category award for her primary colors hostess pajamas made out of silk. In the children's category, Villa's boy's and girl's blue velvet wedding attendant outfits were chosen. Blaco's award was given for her man's gray shirt and black pants. The winners hope to design fashions as a career. Cooke, former model and merchandise buyer for Fallbrook Country Club, plans to "start my own business within a year or two." She wants to design and manufacture her own line of women's clothes. Villa, who operates a small sewing business in her home, said that "I want to get in to custom designing wedding apparel for women and children. I prefer to make clothes more individual and different than what is on the pattern." Blaco said, "Eventually, I'd like to design hats - millinery. I thought about designing men's clothes as men's wear is more lucrative than hats. I'm looking for a job in North County or San Diego, preferably in the fashion area." Ina Lou Cates, fashion modeling instructor, was the <:ommentator and announced the winners. To help pay for the show's expenses, tickets were sold for 26 door prizes, donated by 10 North County businesses. Margaret L. Gunther, coordinator of Family and Consumer Sciences, announced the winning tickets. Prizes included plants, automobile tune-ups, and gift certificates.

Basketball season ends with victory
Swim teams take Border Relays Coach Don Hubbard's men's swim team and coach Patti Waterman's Comet women paddled off with their respective divisions in the Border Relays at Wallace Memorial Pool February 25-26. And it wasn't even close. Palomar took home eight first places and five seconds to outdistance San Diego Mesa, 513-418, for the men's championship. Mt. SAC was third with 250 points, followed by Chaffey (164), Cypress (159), Riverside City College (122), and San Bernardino Valley College (108). Former Vista High standout Mike Malone helped get the Comets off to a fast start Friday, swimming the leadoff leg as Palomar won the first event of the meet, the 350-yard butterfly relay, in 3:36.8. The Comets never looked back. Tony Bennett and Mike Given swam the other two legs. Palomar's other men's relay victories came in the 350 backstroke (Bennett, Mike Brown, J effCram) in 3:34.6, the 350 breaststroke (Kevin Sullivan, Mark Williams, Brown) in 4:01.9, the 400 medley (Cram, Williams, Bennett, Mitch Auld) in 3:54.7, the 400 freestyle (Auld, Bennett, Spencer Golden, Tom Black)in3:27.5and the600ironman (Brown, Sullivan, Cram) in 6:11.0. The Comets took second places in the 350 freestyle (Golden, Black, Auld) in 3:07.2 and 200 freestyle
NeHershost league tilts By James Smith Rescheduling both of last week's postponed matches, Coach Jon Cnossen' s tennis team meets the Imperial Valley Arabs at 2 p.m. here today and hosts tough league opponent Saddleback March 15. Off to a slow start with a 2-3 record in pre-season play, the Comets opened league play February 22 with an 8-1 victory over MiraCosta. None of the defeated Spartan opponents even lasted three games. The only loss was closely contested between the two teams' number one singles. Coming off a 7-2loss February 17, to Santa Ana, the locals traveled to Arizona for a two day tournament February 18 and 19. The Palomar netters won 5-4 against Arizona Mesa the first day, with Tony Parsonese, Dary Blaine and Jeff Bilandzija all victors in nail-biting three game matches. Alan Sasseen stomped his opponent 6-0, 6-0. In horrendous 30-40 MPH winds the next day, the Comets got blownout 9-0 by the U. of Arizona J.V. team. The Comets played eight game "pro sets" "to get out of there," according to Cnossen, who said that the weather was so bad that lob shots were getting blown down on the wrong side of the net. Even so, number one and two singles Jamie Lievers and Jeff Bilandzija· held their own with respectable 8-7 losses. Returning home, last week's rain may have stopped league play, but it didn't keep the Comet netters from working out. They jumped rope, did wind sprints in the gym, and "abused" the racquetball courts to work on their form. Push-ups are part of training for cases of racket throwing and swearing; actions called "tennis abuse" by Cnossen. Looking ahead, the Coach sees a battle between Palomar and Mesa for third place in the Pacific Coast Conference, with Grossmont and Saddleback as the league's toughtest teams.
(Golden, Bruce Grimm, Karl Van . Note, Black) in 1:33.8. In individual events, Brown won both the 100 backstroke in 58.3 and the 400 individual medley in 4:34.7. Cram was second in the 100 back at 58.6, Bennett second in the 100 butterfly (58.8) and Ben McCauley second in both the three-meter diving (293.45 points) and one-meter diving (282.15 points). Malone also took a third for the Comets, swimming the 1,000 freestyle in 10:39.7 Palomar scored 412 points to win the women's division. San Diego Mesa was next with 369, followed by Cypress with 366, Fullerton 298, Mt. SAC 181, Riverside City College 17 4, Chaffey 141 and San Bernardino Valley College 80.
Women cagers play Grossmont Coach Judy Sanders' women's basketball team hosts Grossmont today in a 5 p.m. game as play continues in Pacific Coast Conference action. The Comets ended their nonconference season with a 2-6 record following losses to Santa Ana (5150) and Mt. Sac (75-57) and a victory over Mt. San Jacinto (96-45). The Comets struggled through the non-conference season as a result of poor shooting, lack of defense and too many turnovers, according to Sanders. "We hope to improve as the league goes along, but we'll have to cut down on our turnovers and work on breaking the full court press," Sanders said. "We are getting plenty of rebounding from Stacy Pincock and Carmen Lewis, but we need those two to start providing us with more scoring as well.;, Sanders figures San Diego Mesa will be the team to beat this year. The rest of the conference will battle for the remaining five spots.
Baseball team has slow start Palomar's early losing record "is not an indication of the team's true ability" according to Bob Vetter, head coach. He was pleased with the team's performance during the nonleague season and attributed "crucial mental errors in a few important situations" to the local's slow start. Coach Vetter feels that Southwestern and Saddleback are the teams to beat in the Pacific Coast Conference. "Every team in the league will be tough, but we are capable of beating them all," he said. "The key to our success will be our bullpen. These people must rise to the occasion for us to be successful." The players Coach Vetter refers to are his relief pitchers: Joe Koran, Carl Grovem, Mike Bitner and Scott Ashworth. Like a field goal kicker in football who can decide a game with one kick, the relief pitcher can win or lose a game with one pitch. The Comets have learned this lesson the hard way, losing two of their losses on home runs in the last inning. Coach Vetter commended catcher Troy Afenir, shortstop Opie Moran, second baseman John Bakos and right fielder Matt Britt for outstanding performances. Pitchers Will Flynt and John Eldridge were also given credit for strong showings.

Coach Andy Gilmour's basketball team closed out the season with a thrilling 61-60 victory over Saddleback College in the Dome February 23. The victory avenged a first round loss to the Gauchos and gave the Comets a Pacific Coast Conference record of 4-10 and a season mark of 13-17 (their best in the last four years). They finished seventh in the PCC. "I'm very proud of the way our guys battled against Saddleback and the rest of the league in the second round," coach Gilmour said. "We were 4-3 in the second round after an 0-7 start and that showed the amount of character and determination these guys had." The Palomar victory forced Saddleback into a playoff with San Diego City to decide second place in the PCC. The Gauchos won that game, 103-87, and will represent the PCC along with first-place Imperial Valley in the state playoffs. Three Comets scored in double figures against Saddleback with sophomore forward Chris Meyers finishing off his career with a game (and career) high 17 points. Freshman forward Mike Garrison added 11, while freshman guard Lloyd Klaman contributed 10 points. Palomar played one of its best allaround games of the season and held a half-time lead of 33-30. The Comets built up a second-halflead of 46-38 with 6:57left, but the Gauchos rallied to make it close at the end. Clutch free-throw shooting by Klaman and Meyers held off the surge and Klaman put in the winning points with a pair of charity shots with 16 seconds left. The Comets were without the services of the team's leading scoreer, Jack Woods (13.7 ppg) and the third leading scorer, Orlando Houston (9.1 ppg), who were being disciplined for breaking a team rule. Sophomore center Steve Maki closed out the season with eight points and eight rebounds to finish with an 11.2 scoring average and a 7.3 rebounding average per game.
