NO MORE 'BARBIE AND KEN'
Comet week replaces Homecoming tradition Homecoming Day is a thing of the past here. Instead, the ASG is sponsoring "Comet Week" which will run November 7-12. Rather than celebrating just one day, the ASG has planned a host of activities for students. Throughout the week, various individuals will be honored on campus instead of choosing a Homecoming king and queen. The ASG decided not to center the event around the traditional football game. As one ASG official said, "This year, we decided not to sponsor a Barbie and Ken doll" as Homecoming king and queen. Comet Week honorees will be nominated by club members, ASG officials and individual students. Comet Week will "kick off' on November 4, a few days early. At noon an Interclub Council picnic will be held on the lawn by the clock tower. This event is strictly for club members and promises to be a "fun time." Club members will also bring cans of food for the ASG food bank, which distrib utes food to needy students.
On November 7 Patrons Day will be the official start of Comet Week. The college will honor the Patrons this day and hold a ceremony for them in the Arboretum. The Student Union will also have live entertainment for students. On November 8 a talent show will feat ure cash prizes to the best college talent. Amateurs will strut their stuff at noon in the Student Union. On November 9 at noon, students will model the latest styles in a fall fashion show. Local stores will donate the clothes. On November 10 the ASG will host an alumni luncheon in the Timber Room on campus. This is an invitation only luncheon. Also, an eight kilometer run will be held by the flagpole. All runners will recieve a free Tee shirt. Gift certificate prizes will be pesented to winners in various categories. On November 12 the traditional Homecoming football game will be held at 1:30 p.m. at San Marcos High School. The Comet Week honorees will WHO'S HAPPY NOW? - Oliver Hajjeys cntkaJJy be seated together at the game when acclaimed, offBroadway Jut is now playing at tile Palomar College Theatre with ffnal performances Palomar faces Saddleback.
KSM 99 seeks exposure; features DJs, live remotes By Ch ris KSM FM 99, the college radio station is "exposing itself." Live remotes, personal appearances by KSM disc jockeys from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Student Union, began October 20, and will continue one per week, for the rest of the year. The station hopes to in troduce students to KSM, obtain feedback and student participation, which was "minim al but positive" for the first show according to Terry Boyd, the show's producer. "We had the usual first-time -youdo-anything problems," said Johnny Z, the featured DJ. ''Things will go more smoothly as the year progresses though." ''The live remotes adhere to our format," said Boyd. "We try and stick to alternative rock, but we honor any student requests that we get." Records that were played during the show inc lude: t h e Plimsouls, the Squeeze and the Untouchables.
Reynolds "More and more people are listening to us, so we're getting some exposure," said Joe Sage, who does the morning shift on Tuesdays from 8-11 a.m. Student remarks seem to bear this out. "We like the station," commented one student. ''They play good music and are really good about requests." "I can't get it where I live," said another, "but I like the music." Another promotion method KSM employs in its live remotes is "giveaways." Tee- shirts, albums and concert tickets for Joey Harrison and the Speedsters were given away to some students. ''The time slot for live remotes will remain the same, but the days will rotate," said Sage. The schedule for live remotes will be: October 28, October 31, November 8, November 16, November 23, December 1, December 9, December 12, J anuary 3, January 11, January 19.

~Elephant By Polly Filanc Auditions for Bernard Pomerance's ''The Elephant Man" are scheduled for November 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Performance Lab. The auditions are open to the public and "nothing is pre-cast", according to David Boyd, technical director. ''There will be between eight to 20 roles available, depending on the turnout strength of the auditions," adds Boyd. This Tony Award winning drama is a stylistic recounting of the life of Joseph Merrick, called the Elephant Man because of his gross physical deformities. His humanity and sensitivity are revealed through a series of events beginning with his sanctuary at a London Hospital, his socialization through to the end of his life. The principle characters include Merrick; Fredrick Teves, Merrick's doc-
Gameffeld Design Committee (Jell) and George Cordry, represen tative of the college Alumni Association. The p ubliC is inVIted to attend tile formal dediCation cerem onies scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 29. ( Photo by Susan Green)

Man' auditions set tor; Mrs. Kendal, actress; Ross, Merrick's keeper in a freak show; and Dr. Gomb, who runs the London Hospital. "Because some of the parts are small, we may have to double-up," says Boyd. "But I prefer not to, because I am hoping to provide more oppurtunities for beginning actors. "Auditioners will not need to pre-
pare since the auditions will be cold readings." Boyd explains that his version will be different than the movie version in that the Elephant Man will not be made up. ''The style is more abstract. It will be done by suggestion, rather than creating a monster type guy.'
Vandals molest, shred Playboy centerfolds By Sarah Grimes Although the library will continue to subscribe to Playboy, the back issues of the magazine have been removed from the library's periodical stacks. "It has nothing to do with censorship," according to Alexis Ciurczak, library director. ''The magazines have been ripped to shreds, decimated. There is nothing left of the magazines.'' Joann Roake, reference librarian concurred. "I'd pull out these motheaten, mutilated magazines from the stacks. They were falling apart." Besides Playboy, the library reports that other magazines including Car and Driver, Sports Illustrated and People have also been torn apart by vandals. But librarians agree that the Playboy collection has been "the most mutilated." "There wasn't one centerfold left in any of our back issues. Wh en you tear out the center, you destroy the magazin e," said Ciurczak. The destruction of certain materials is a relatively new problem in the library. Before moving to the new build ing, back issues of magazines were available on ly by request. In the new library, there is an open stack policy, where students and li brary patrons have free access to the periodical reference collection . This accessability has led to an increase in vandalism and destruction of library materials. Ciurczak warned that the library may not renew its subscription to Playboy when it expires in December of 1984. "We don 't have th e money to pay for magazines and not be able to use them.
We can't afford subscriptions to magazine covers." The library director stresses that "People should have access to information. Unfortunately, people don't have access if the information is in 400 pieces." While the library is considering putting Playboy on microfilm , budget con straints may make that impossible. "It would solve the problem," said Ciurczak. But usually a magazine is not available to libraries unless they also continue to subscribe to the period ical.
ASG sponsors forum for board candidates Eleven candidates for the Palomar Board of Trustees came on campus to campaign last Octoberl9. The ASG sponsored a "Meet the Candidates" forum "so students could be informed of the candidates' views and goals," accord ing to Leonard Flagg, ASG pres id ent. Three board seats are in co ntention this year. Under a blazing noon day sun on the front quad area of the Student Union, candidates responded one by one to questions from the student audience. Because of the number of candidates and the one hour time limit of the forum , on ly fou r questions were posed to the candidates. For a summary of eac h cand idate, please see page 3.

Student action needed to unleash funding
COMMENTARY
Columnist applauds faculty's selflessness
the governor to listen to the needs of community colleges. How can students make the governor listen? Using their constitutional right, students can petition, write letters, march on Sacramento, and ultimately, vote. If enough students were to demonstrate their feelings and needs, it is the governor's duty to respond to the will of the people. Otherwise, he should not be governor. Administrators have done everything possible to amend the budget. Now it is up to the student to take action to alleviate the funding crunch. If students really care ahout the quality of their education, they should write letters and petition the governor to release the funds necessary.

By Polly Filanc and Sarah Grimes With finances and leadership as the major issues, 11 candidates are vying for three positions on Palomar's five member Board of Trustees in the November 8 election. Successful candidates will assume their seats on the board for four year terms.
Board Elections '83 Robert Bowman A longtime San Marcos resident, Robert Bowman has been ''very involved with Palomar College" since 1953. According to Bowman, "I spent half my life here" at Palomar. Starting as a football coach, Bow-
The election comes at a crucial time as the community college faces further budget cutbacks due to the lack of state funding. Some of the issues in the election campaign are the current board leadership, zero-based budgeting, quality of education, priorities of the decisionmaking board and communication between the board, community, campus and students.
position , and revising workload and position location ." He also says that he will "cut down on instructional time on board-approved committees, implement full class offerings in the afternoon hours, mainstream all special programs (i.e. MultiCultural Studies) with the exception of Handicapped, remove the overlap in curriculum and coordinate small classes with MiraCosta. Barbara Hughes A district resident for 14 years and a teacher for 10, Barbara Hughes is a graduate of Long Beach State College. She is presently teachingjunior high part-time at Grace Lutheran School in Escondido. She is also active in the YMCA and PTL. Hughes has been a board member of the Escondido Citizen's Ecology Com-
This election means that all regist ered voters in the Palomar district are eligible to vote. Areas represented by the district are San Marcos, Rancho Bernardo, Vista, Fallbrook, Julian, part of Oceanside , Escondido, Penasquitos , Ramona, Borrego Springs and Poway. The following candidate profiles are presented in alphabetical order. Editor's note: The Telescope did not receive photographs of candidates Salter and Waack.
*** Leon Baradat A native Californian, Leon Baradat has been a resident of th e district for 13 years. A teacher for 19 years, he is presently the chairman of the Social Sciences Department at MiraCosta College. He has also been a professor of
Robert Bowman man has served in various capacities on campus. He was a physical education instructor, then served as a coun selor for six years. Later he worked in the Financial Aid office and is a former Dean of Students. After retiring in 1981 , Bowman was designated faculty emeritus. Bowman's major goal is to set up a "long range priority system to deal with the budget." Bowman, who served on the Budget Committee, believes in a "zero-based budget plan" for Palomar. He would like to see departments "start out from scratch every year instead of just adding on to previous budgets." His primary concern when adopting board policies ''would be the welfare and enrichment of students." The former coach also wants to enourage "input from all areas of the school - from students especially." He feels that this could "alleviate the morale problem which will soon affect the whole institution." Walter Brown Recently retired Palomar dean of vocational education, Walter Brown has been a resident of the district for 13 years. With a B.S. degree in Technical Voca-
Political Science since 1970. Baradat has served as president of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges and has been a consultant for higher education to the Assembly Education Committee in the state legislature. While Baradat sees the two main issues of the election as being fmances and leadership, his main priority is finances. Baradat's aim is "to decide the college's priorities and to analyze all programs and services in light of the priorities." He states that "The present board has cut piecemeal (in the budget) without any particulaF plan in mind, which is detrimental to the college." He also feels, because of the way the board handled Robert Dougherty's appointment, that "The board acted very undemocratically by making decisions while refusing public comment. He thinks the board "is not giving adequate consideration to the issues that face them ." Baradat adds that "This election is an excellent opportunity for voters to clean out the present board and put in people who will represent the people of the district and their interests." Officially endorsed by both the Committee for Quality in Education and th e California Teachers Association (CTA ) , Palomar branch , Baradat pledges, "to listen to anybody who wishes to make comment about policy."
mittee, and a business manager of The National School Fundraiser magazine. While she feels that the main issues of this election are the board's respon siveness to the community and finances, Hughes says her main goal is for "more community involvement in the college." Along with being a good listener, Hughes plans "to seek alternative fund ing for the college and to keep the expenses low for students. "I also plan to set up a system of priorities and goals for the college, along with a system for program review."
Hughes has been formally endorsed by the Committee for Quality in Education and CTA.
Bob Ottaviano he served on the Board of Directors for the Committee in Quality Education, which was designed "to help prevent riots when bussing was inaugurated." Ottaviano sees fmances as the main issue of the election. "I am against cutting the budget in terms of courses, classified staff and teachers. "Teachers should be heard so that we may cope with these financial problems on a fair and equal basis." His main priorities are "to maintain educational excellence and fiscal management. I also want to promote communication between the students and the school. Students have a right to be heard." Since he is against raising taxes, Ottaviano sees himself as a "taxpayers' watchdog."
*** MAin Education, a BA in English and a Ph.D. in psychology. She is also licensed in real estate and serves on the Vista Juvenile Justice Center Board of Directors. A former elected member of the Rancho Bernardo town council, Ryan says she is focusing on the "needs of the student. The student should be considered the first priority of the faculty, administrators and the Board of Trustees. "I am interested in encouraging an awareness of the needs of the students, the faculty and the community." Currently, Ryan is a member of the San Marcos Ad Hoc Committee for the Palomar Community Plan. While her main goal is to "improve communication between the Board of Trustees, staff and students," she also wants to "eliminate wasteful duplication of educational services. "During this campaign, much has been said about what the faculty and the administration want, but no one has addressed the needs of the students." Charles Salter Incumbent Charles Salter has been a Vista resident since 1960. Salter was appointed to the Board in 1978 and was elected to the post in the 1980 election. He has been president of the board in the past and is a member of the college Budget Committee. Salter spent two years on the campus Beautification Committee and twelve years on the Palomar College Development Foundation Board. He is a member of the California and New York state Bars and has served on the North County Bar Association as director and vice-president. Salter's goals are "to represent all five segments of campus: the taxpayers, the students, the faculty, the classified staff and the administration." He believes it is an "obligation of the Board to maintain balance between these five segments and to meet their needs within the context of excellence in education." He is an advocate of "participatory management" and believes that, "Most problems are capable of solution through negotiation." Salter wants to insure that "people who are most affected by a particular decision have input before the decision is made." James Slivkofl" Incumbent James Slivkoff is presently serving as vice-president. He attended local Vista schools through grade eleven and graduated from Coachella Valley High School. Slivkoff received his BA in physics from San Diego State. Slivkoff has served in the teaching profession for

Brown's major priority is a "zerobased budgeting plan. This plan will determine exactly what it costs to educate one student in a class for one semester. From this across-the-board plan you can very easily determine where the excess costs are." According to his plan, Brown claims that the college will be able to operate on a $20 million budget rather than the current $23.8 million plan. Under his proposals for the current $1.5 million deficit, Brown says he will be able to save money by "putting all instructors in a classroom no less than 20 hours per week; analyzing the en tire scope of classified pe rsonnel and
Bob Ottaviano A recent Palomar graduate and real estate broker, Bob Ottaviano of Oceanside has been a resident of the district for three and a half years. Officially endorsed by the Vista Board of Realty, Ottaviano says he is running for trustee because "I want to pay back the school for the education I received." An advocate of continuing education, Ottaviano has served on various real estate boards. He was a member on the Real Estate Board of Directors in the San Fernando Valley and education committee for the Carlsbad Board of Realtors. Recently, Ottaviano was elected vice-president of the Carlsbad Board of Realtors for 1984. While living in the Los Angeles area,

Her main goal. as trustee is to "continue the present status of Palomar College both academically and culturally, with constructive adjustment to the changes that are taking place at this time in the community colleges of the state."

NEWS Patron volunteers benefit college The Te lescope, Frida y, October 28, 1983
By Melanie Anderson Shortly after Pa lomar was founded in 1946 , a group was formed with a pure purpose in mind of " just helping a struggling college." Now many years later , the Patrons of Palomar is still going strong and benefitting the college in many ways , stressing financial aid and campus beautification . The Patrons is a non-profit organization made of volunteers working throughout the year raising money for scholarships, financial and work / study aid for students, campus beautification , and needy departments on campus. Major fundraisers include the Pink Elephant Sale, "Everybody's Book Sale," and the mid-winter sale.
All items sold are donations made to the Patrons in the line of clothing, furniture, toys, books, plants, linens, and sporting and camping equipment. These items are just a small sampling of things sold and donated . . The Patrons will be hosting the mid-winter sale, which takes place in the Student Union on November 30 and December 1, and the book sale which will be held December 6, 7, and 8 until 9 p.m. Donations should be made to the college mailroom in care of the Patrons . Last year the Patrons earned more than $20,000 through their sales, and gave $3,500 more than that amount to needy Palomar recipients. Using the money made from the
fundraisers, the Patrons donated to the archery team, Music Department, ASG, Child Development Center , and bought new Cmpus Patrol jackets . A host of other campus areas benefitted from the Patrons, including a room in the Boehm Gallery, which the Patrons helped pay for cost of labor in finishing the room , and the new Jogging Course to which the Patrons donated $400 to a station . Past projects of the Patrons have resulted in the Aboretum,which the Patrons hope to make a showplace of rare and native plants, the clock tower, and benches placed through out the school. Helping students directly , the Patrons have set aside $3,300 for
student scholarships. These include three $200 scholarships to returning students, three $300 scholarships to students transferring to a four-year institutions, nine $200 scholarships to incoming freshmen from local high schools, and the $200 John E. Barlow Art Award . Although the Patrons help the college and its students wherever they can , president Phyllis Nimmo adds her feelings to the Patron purpose, "My own personal philosophy," she says , "is getting acquainted with the kids, teachers, and parents. I go out of my way to meet people ... just to be friends. The Patrons do a lot of good, besides meeting physical needs ." A member of the Patrons for eight years, Nimmo "saw a need " and

ber of all the local Chambers of Commerce within the district, Slivkoff says he's accomplished this. His second objective was to foster "greater visibiltywith the departments on campus," to "give people a chance to see what's happening here." Since serving on the Board, Slivkoff has had various departments appear at meetings to make presentations. The one goal that he was not able to accomplish during his term was to create better communication to con stituents through the local newspapers. This failed because of lack of interest on the part of the local press, according to Slivkoff. Mary Burke Trotta Mary Burke Trotta, a resident of Vista for 22 years, is a graduate of the Jersey City Medical Center of Nursing. She served as president of the Vista
Program. She is also serving as a committee delegate for curriculum development in Vista and on Congressman Ron Packard's Advisory Committee on Education. Trotta has been endorsed by the Committee for Quality in Education. She is married to P.F. Trotta and has six children, one who is presently attending Palomar College. Her main goals if elected are "to have Palomar College enjoy the reputation as a prestigious institution of learning," and "to assure that transferring students develop analytical thinking skills, effective expression, both oral and written, and the necessary skills in mathematics and computation." Trotta also wants to develop "further articualtion between feeder high schools and greater follow up on transferring students." Along with her concern for transferring students, Trotta wants to "provide vocational education students an entry into the job market, or training for a new occupation." As a trustee, she expects accountability and cooperation from all segments of the campus. Karl Waack Educated in Europe, Karl Waack is a former executive of Palomar's Undefeated Club and member of the ASG legislature. He also has an A.A. degree in Gerontology. Waack has also been a consultant for Barrier Free Facilities of Handicapped Students in the San Marcos School District.
Mary Burke TrottaPTA, from 1980 to 1982 and boasts of fifteen years of active classroom volunteer work. Trotta is a founding and current member of the Vista Juvenile Justice
Some of his civic activities include: patient care volunteer of the Elizabeth Hospice; treasurer for SanJuan Capistrano Villas; Senior Center volunteer at the San Luis Rey Mission; and member of the Senior Legislature. Waack says that "Instructing the public should be the frrst objective of
government. Education is our only political safety. Therefore, education is a cheap defense for this nation. ''The state should spend money and effort on this matter of education to teach two objectives--how to make a living and how to live. "I am advocating participation of all residents and inclusion of students into settings of programs for Palomar. ''The administration should set priorities with the budget, school facilities and transportation." Waack is against the Athletic Department having priority over academic courses and transportation. Advocating that the student is the "most important person on the campus and not just a an enrollment statistic," Waack says he will strive for new options for the students and will challenge the present paternalism in our community college.

became a member of the board of directors four and a half years ago. Steadily rising in the group, Nimmo became president last June. On November 7, during Comet Week sponsored by ASG, the Patrons will be honored with a Patron's Day. Refreshments and entertainment will take place in the Student Union. At 11:30 a.m., ASG will plant foliage of the Patrons' choice in the Arboretum. The Patrons meet the first Wednesday of each month in the conference room from 10 a.m. to 12 noon . The public is invited to attend these meetings. Memberships dues are $5 a family per year, $25 for businesses and organizations per year, and $100 life membership.

KSM graduates go professional By Chris Reynolds KSM graduates are "taking to the air." Over the last four and a half years 58 Palomar have made the transition from telecommunication classrooms to commercial radio stations. Other students have gone on to become personnel at four-year college radio stations . Some have remained in the area and work at local North County stations. Jim Charvat, Tara Watkins , and John Savidge work at "Rock 92"; Steve Johnston, Clark Novak , Terry Boyd and Tim Jordan work for KKOS in Carlsbad; Pat Hahn and Steve Segretto are employed at KLMO and Jim Lawrence and John Klickman work at KCNN. Jim Le Marke who was'' around in the early days of KSM " currently works for 91X and the "Mighty 690". Erik Thomson, "Erik the Wreck"
was employed at KFMB while at KSM and is now Production Director at 91X under Le Marke. "Sometimes 50 percent of a radio station's staff are Palomar students and graduates," said Russell Jackson, KSM instructor. "What makes our method of in struction so successful is that KSM is an operating radio station, an active laboratory, as realistic as is possible. Students do live broadcasts as part of their lab requirement and that's what really interests them." How difficult is it to break into the industry? "If you're good, develop some skills and go after it, the jobs are available," explained Jackson. "Most of our people start at small er stations and get picked up by bigger ones, after they've established themselves." "Most commercial radio people

will tell you not to get into the field though," contin ued Jackson,"but they never leave it themselves. You develop a kind of love/ hate relationship. I never really left it mentally, although I'm involved in it now in a different sort of way." There are other advantages to the Palomar program that prepare students for this vocation. "Alth o ugh we do n 't get m uch in the way of local advertising, we have sponsors like Lamppost Pizza for our football package," said Jackson. "This gives students a chance to sell and produce commercials. Sponsors rarely produce their own ." "Although KSM does enjoy a large and loyal following," as Phil Drenth, KSM music director, puts it, Jackson stresses, "Our first priority has always been to teach the students, while listenership is a secondary concern."

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH·-
Pete Wade: I'd cut out the most expensive sports activity. The emphasis at Palomar should be on education . Sports is just an extra. It should be the first to go. For that matter, why don't they convert the football field into a parking lot?
Penny Riddle: Anthropology maybe. It's not vital to the reading, writing and math curriculum. But then that would hurt the Anthro majors. This is a tough decision. I really don't want to see any more cuts.
If you were responsible for making the budget reductions at Palomar, what would you cut?
Mike Moore: The clubs. They seem to be the most extraneous thing on campus. I don't see them doing anything worthwhile other than providing a place for people to meet.
INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN
Art gallery's reputation grows Displaying works from well known artists such as Andy Warhol, Wayne Thiebaud and Roland Reis has made the Boehm Art Gallery "internationally known" according to Russell Baldwin, Gallery director. Baldwin's involvement in the art world has enabled him to "increase the reputation,' of the Gallery since he became director in 1965. "When I see someone's work I like, I approach them about a showing. I also get calls from other artists who would like to show their work here. AB a matter of fact I just received a call the other day from an artist in Italy who was inquiring about a showing," said Baldwin. One of the setbacks the Gallery has experienced is a lack of funding . Coupled with public donations that average less than $50 a month, the situation makes putting on shows more difficult. "To put together a really good show involves a lot of work. Announcements, transportation and legwork are all pretty expensive. One advantage is that if you have a well known artist's display, you have built-in publicity. We are, in effect, playing a kind of political football." "If we could sponsor back-to-back showings of well known artists we
could build some kind of a traffic pattern. AB it is now, we try and have a mix of bigger names with semi-knowns and unknowns ," said Baldwin. All money donated during a given show is predicated toward that show. More popular shows therefore draw bigger crowds and more money. "I'm very conservative as far as spending money goes," continued Baldwin. "I operate a program that, with the funds available, astounds members of the San Diego Art Museum." With patronage at a ratio of 60 percent students to 40 percent community members, "The gallery becomes a dramatic extension ofthe classroom," as Baldwin puts it, one· of the reasons he considers it important to keep the Gallery open. "The whole intention is to provide a cultural and instructional device for students and the community," said Art Department Chairperson Val Sanders. "I agree," said Baldwin. "The gallery is essential to raising the awareness of the community. Provided you can get art with a capital "A", the Gallery is an invaluable instructional device. Es-. pecially since good art asks.
Center aids handicapped~ special services provided By Melanie Anderson In recognition of the handicapped students on campus, the Handicapped Student Services Resource Center was established eight years ago, to aid those individuals with the special services the center provides. Located in the HH Building, the center provides a variety of services, some of which include : Mobility ABsistance, Handicapped Student Organization , Adaptive Physical Education, Academic Tutoring, and Academic, Career and Personal Counseling. "The biggest goal," says director Gene Zevin, "is to increase service for the learning dis abled." Several pieces of equipment, especially designed for the handica pped, prove this point in aiding many students with campus life. Electric and manual wheelchairs, braille writers , speech compressors, an instructional computer, and a typewriting system are only a few of the many aids helping the visually, hearing, and physically impaired students on campus . On the other hand, socialization is another important aspect of the
Handicapped Student Services. The Undefeated Club, one ofthe largest groups on campus with well over 100 members , provides social activities. "Under a general umbrella of activities, such as, social gatherings, parties, barbecues, and campouts, with participation in Awareness Day and campus as a group ," says Zevin, the club "is intended to make the public aware of the handicapped and the problems they face and the effort made to solve these problems." The Undefeated Club, formed shortly after the center, consists largely ofhandicapped students, but includes the non-handicapped as well. The purpose of the club is mainly for students to find an identity as people, and to develop social skills. Zevin, who set up the Handicapped Student Services years ago, mentions the special qualities that specialized counselors called enablers, must have when working with the handicapped. Kindness and compassion are on top of the list, followed by a "unique understanding for the needs of the handicapped."

Basics require placement tests New students should take the English, Math and Reading placement tests before they register for these classes. By taking these tests immediately students will know whether they need remedial instruction in English, math or reading. Students will not graduate unless they enroll in, and pass English Composition (Eng 001) ; Intermediate Algebra (Math 110). In addition, these requirements must be met if the student wants to enroll in higher level courses in these departments. Completing higher level courses are also mandatory in order to transfer units to other colleges. By not following this recommendation, students may be impeded in graduating or transfering on schedule.

Donna Anglin: I think they have an abundance of clubs and athletic activities. There should be more emphasis on education. We're not here for socializng. If you want to play football, you don't need to come to college to play.
Gary Fandrick: I'd cut the salaries of the administrators. The deans get paid practically as much as senators. And what do they do for students? Mostly shuffle papers and isolate themselves in their air conditioned offices.

Library loans new cameras Even for people who don't like to read, the library has something to offer. Beginning this month, the library will have four new Polaroid Sun cameras available for loan. These cameras are instamatic and are easy for anyone to operate. They feature a built-in electronic flash and one-button operation, and use high-speed instant color film. As part of a sales promotion, Polaroid is donating more than 20,000 Sun cameras to public libraries throughout the nation. Because of its dual role as both a public and academic facility, Palomar's library is one of the few college libraries that has qualified for this special camera lending program.

Air Craft' entertains Southwestern
Comet defense staves off SD 34-31 in first conference clash After their 51 -13 thrashing of Imperial Valley three weeks ago, the Comets squeaked past San Diego CC 34-31 when a Knights 41 year field goal attempt failed by inches with one second remaining. Coach Tom Craft's gridders proved Saturday that they can win big or small.. Not since 1974 have the locals opened their conference campaign with a win. It was a missed 41 -yard field goal by the Knights' Carlos Vallejo with time running out that enabled the Comets to carry home a 4-1 record for tomorrow's clash with Southwestern at San Marcos High. San Diego got on the board first on a 13-yard touchdown pass. But the winners struck quickly after that when Mike Meyer, who hit on 18 of 32 passing attempts for 27 4 yards and three scores, combined with Lafo Malauulu on a 21 yard scoring strike. A few series tater, Leroy Lefiti plunged over from the one before the first quarter ended. The Knights held the winners scoreless in the second period while exploding for 17 points on two touchdowns and a fie ld goat to put the hosts ahead 24-14 to finish the first half totals. In the third period, running back Leo Totoumu collected a six yard TD pass from Meyer, while Lefiti gained his second rushing TD when scored from the six yard line. However, two unsuccessful PAT's left the Comets with a 26-24 lead. But Palomar soon relinquished that lead when San Diego kick return man Kent Dorrell took the ensuing kickoff 85 yards to put the Knights on top again, 31 -26. Palomar then came back and with 7:50 remaining, Meyer passed to Malau utu for the Comets' final touchdown of the day. A two point conversion gave the winners a 34-31lead. The Knights moved the ball in to Palomar's territory on their last possession, but linebacker Mac McKeever sacked San Diego quarterback Bill Ben-
net for an eight-yard loss just prior to the Knights' field goal attempt which hit the crossbar and bounced back onto the field. Along with Meyer's prolific passing performance, the Comets also received two productive efforts from Mala uulu (nine catches for 200 yards and two scores) and Lefiti (124 yards on 26 carries and two scores).
Wrestling team continues with . . w1nn1ng ways By Tina Newman After an impressive debut last weekend at the Cuesta Tournament and College of Sequoias, the locals showed their talent by thrashing the Et Camino Warriors here October 21 , 42·11. "We are a unit, we don't function separ· ately," Coach John Woods said. "We expected a little more excitement, but didn't get it from the Warriors." Sophomore David Vurik, winning im· pressively 12·3, dominated with four near falls and eight take-downs. He was fifth in the state last year and named outstanding wrestler at the Cuesta tourney. Vurik is from Vista High. Freshman Jack Duby won his match 4·1. Duby is from Mt. Carmel High, where he was a star in wrestling and football. Freshman Mark James shutout his opponent 18·0 with five near falls and two take-downs. James was a prep standout at Monte Vista two years ago. Sophomore Louis Loya overtook his opponent 134. Loya dominated in his third period with three escapes and three take-downs. Loya is from Oceanside. Both freshmen Steve Bowdren and Mike Rowden won their bouts with out· standing 1 minute 28 second falls. Sophomore Ron Sigler also won with a respec· table 2 minute 27 second fall. Sigler was fifth in the state last year. Sophomore Mario Moreno took his win 6·3. With a record of 2·2·1, Moreno had a take·down, near fall and an escape.

Poloists fall to Griffins By Bob Cameron Goalkeeper Art McMahon had a brilliant game with 18 blocked shots, th ree steals and two assists, but it was not enough , as the men's waterpolo team came up short for the third time in conference play, losing to Grossmont 12-8 October 21. It was the Comets' strongest conference effort this year as the tankman stayed within two goals until the last three minutes. "Our fast breaks improved. We had more than they did , but we just couldn't seem to capitalize," said Coach Don Hubbard. Grossmont, however, did capitalize on Palomar's mistakes. One of the Comets was sent to the penalty area, creating a man-down situation nine times in the game.
High scorers for the Comets were Kevin Sullivan who threw in three goals and Dave Krische who scored two. Krische also played a strong defensive game. Today Palomar will host Saddleback College at 3 p.m. and then travel to Cypress for the Cypress Invitational Tournament tomorrow The poloists won and lost earlier in the week, whipping Chaffey College 13-4, and losing to Citrus College 20-11. Bob Butt scored four times, with Sullivan, Dave Trotta and Peter Loedell each adding two against Chaffey. In their loss to Citrus Krische and Loedell each played superb defense and scored three and two goals, respectively. Sullivan and Trotta also scored twice but mistakes sank the Comets.
