Food Bank feeds needy students

By Polly Filanc Imagine scrounging in the garbage can for scraps of food, begging a friend for milk to feed a child, or wolfing down a package of hotdog buns as if there was no tomorrow.

Eyewitness accounts such as these have sparked a genuine concern for hungry students on campus.

For the last month and a half, student leaders have been doling out free food, through the food bank program, to needy students who they say are going hungry.

According to Leonard Flagg, ASG president, the newly formed ASG Food Bank program is here "to help students in time of need. While we are not here to have them dependent on us, we are here to help them when the need arises."

How many students go hungry?

Flagg estimates that "three to five percent of Palomar's 18,000 student population are going hungry."

He bases this estimate on the 600 students who are either eligible for financial aid or EOPS type programs.

Flagg also figures that there are students who are eligible for these programs but do not seek aid.

"With the cutbacks in student hourly, a lot of people are left without jobs to support their schooling," he said.

Since the recent media attention in the Los Angeles Times and over Channell 0 news, the Food Bank programs have drawn interest and donations throughout the entire San Diego area.

According to Bob Klug, student legislator and co-originator of the program, "A couple, new to the area, was looking for a way to help people. With

the publicity, they said the Food Bank is what we were looking for and they will also contact their friends."

While donations are essential to the program, the student leaders hope that the publicity helps to let people on campus be more aware of the program.

So far, the Food Bank, located in R-33, has given away canned foods, turkeys, potatoes, fresh fruit and vegetables and other packaged goods to nearly 30 students, most of whom are single parents.

The program has collected over 600 cans of food and $7 40. Donations have been made by various campus organizations, students, faculty, staff and individuals outside the campus.

One couple from Point Lorna donated 20 turkeys for Thanksgiving and 20 for Christmas.

How do recipients feel about the program? "It's wonderful!", says one 30 year old mother who is trying to get off welfare. "While I hate being in a position of need and having starvation in the country, it helps to know that people care."

A recently divorced 26 year old disabled male who lives with his grandmother says, "I think it's fantastic. I am waiting for my grants to come through.

In the meantime, I have no money or any way of getting any. This (food) is the first time I'm able to kick anything into the household. At first, I felt kind a funny about coming here, because I didn't want anybody to know I needed it."

Even though the food project had originally met with some amazement and disbelief from some off-campus civic organizations over the student

plight, students leaders were amazed when they discovered how prevalent hunger is on campus.

Carol Hanley, the other co-originator, says, "I personally knew people going hungry. My son was buying milk for a friend's kids. This women was trying to find a way to go back to school. When she got a grant she lost a major portion of her food stamps."

Hanley also noted that "there are students living in the hills and single parents going back to school trying to get off welfare.

"In order for these people to get ahead and get off welfare, they have to go to school to get out of the hole they're in."

Mike Lesher, director of the Student Help Center, kept tabs on a hungry man in the Student Union. 'This guy (Continued on page 6)

Salter, Simson, Slivkoff optimistic

Outgoing trustees hand governing tasks to three new board members Ending another chapter in Palomar's history, three former Board of Trustee members relinquished their board seats to the new members with a sense of optimism and gratitude.

After their final board meeting November 22, outgoing trustees Anton Simson, Charles Salter and James Slivkoff turned their tasks of governing the college over to Mary Burke Trotta, Leon Baradat and Barbara Hughes.

The new trustees were sworn in at the December 6 board meeting.

0 TANNENBAUM - ASG members and children from the Child Devel-

opment Center add some Christmas spirit to the Student Union. The tree was provided by the ASG and the trim was created by the kids.

At that final meeting, faculty president Bill Salomone, faculty senate president Bruce Bishop and CSEA president Gordon Stubblefield were unanimous in their praise for the services rendered to the college by the former board members.

In commending the previous trustees for their services on behalf of the faculty, Salomone pointed out that "Being a trustee is often a thankless job especially in these trying times."

Echoing Salomone's sentiments Bishop added, "Regardless of the past disagreements . . . these three men gave unselfiShly to the college."

Even though a recent controversy over the process of a board appointment may have cost incumbents Slivkoff and Salter re-election, Slivkoff in his final statements, gave the new trustees his "sincere and wholehearted support." He also said he is grateful for having served the college, and gave special thanks to the " college family ... the students, faculty, classified and administration for the many courtesies I received this past year."

Having served on the board since 1981, Slivkoff looks back on his past elections. "I ran an independent campaign each time, investing over $8,000 for the privilege of serving my community. I did not ask for a campaign funds either time. Maybe I should have."

In the future, Slivkoffhopes that "all issues affecting the college may be discussed through the normal college committees and channeled through the board."

"What I regret are those few facufty members who chose to go public through the press with their comments. I hope that they will utilize the normal channels in the future."

Also, at the fmal meeting 12-year board veteran Simson expressed his thanks for the opportunity to be a part of the college community. "I enjoyed working with all sides of it. I leave it with good thoughts."

Salter, who served the board for five and a half years, said in a telephone interview that" I wish my successors a great deal of success in dealing with the current anticipated problems."

While each of the new trustees have a variety of ideas, Salter said, "I hope they will expend the necessary effort to see some of them come to fruition. I hope further they will work closely with the administration. I consider it a privilege to have served on the board."

Former board president Alan Krichman, who remains on the board, said at the fmal board meeting,'The last year have been an interestin g and difficult one for the college." " In terms of my fe llow trustees, it's been an interesting, exciting, and rewarding experience to know t hese men. I feel that our relationsh ips go far beyond this board table, and will continue the rest of our lives."

Depression: ot her side of Christmas

By Polly Filanc Tis the season to be jolly . .. Joy to the World ... Peace on Earth ... Christmas comes but once a year ... Santa Claus is coming to town - all promise a Merry Christmas.

But how representative are these slogans of people's true moods at Christmas?

Depression during Christmas is higher than any other time of the year and can affect anyone for a variety of reasons.

According to Mary Clark, Marriage, Family and Child counselor at Student Health Services, "Holidays are a time when everybody's supposed to be happy. But when we don't feel happy, we find that makes us feel worse than usual. If that feeling is not there, the result can be depression."

Clark says, "Christmas time is the most universal time for the feeling of wanting to be loved. If we don't feel that we're loved, the behaviors and actions of those around us will fall short of proving that we are loved. We then may feel depressed.

"Competition," Clark adds, "can get very high at Christmas. If somebody gets more than you or you get more

than them, that can also be an indication of whether we feel loved or not."

For singles who don't go home to their families, Clark says, "Christmas makes them feel more estranged and lonely."

Expectations are higher at this time of the year, Clark points out. "Even as children we have great expectations.

Often times, we are very disappointed.

We don't get the doll or train set that we wanted or if we do it breaks a few hours later."

In a society based on material wealth, Clark explains, "We sometimes feel inadequate when we see people buy things but cannot do the same.

'The idea of giving presents is a very overt form of enjoying the holidays. We should keep the material aspects from becoming top heavy."

Clark says that "Christmas is time to grieve over the loss of what we would like and don't have. We carry around the 'poor me's.' But we really don't grieve and fully express the extent of our sadness."

Guilt can also spark depression.

"We are taught not to be selfish, but we have desires and wants. As an adult we have many wants, such as a tape deck or an intimate relationship.

If we don't feel fulfilled, then we expe-

rience a great sense of loss."

The guilt and the fear of expressing this loss are what cause people to be dissatisified with themselves. At Christmas, depression occurs because we become angry with ourselves and hold

it in, according to Clark.

Often times feelings are kept hidden out of a fear that "there might be something wrong with me," Clark explains. "People will go to extreme measures, such as suicide.

"Suicide is not the answer," she says,

.l""' _ __ ..,_ /

t

but a "suicide threat is to be taken seriously."

Some of the more severe symptoms of depression are moving or talking slower, or not talking at all; not feeling like getting up in th e morning; wanting to cry out but not allowing oneself to; feeling tired all the time or not eating.

"Depression doesn't come over and bang us on the head," Clark adds. "We are all susceptible to it. We have to be attentive to our bodies, needs and actions."

If the pressures are great, Clark recommends taking a break when shopping, going to bed earlier when tired and being in tune with emotions in order to be in charge.

She also points out that "If you feel sad, let yourself cry. If you are angry, allow yourself to holler or hit the bed.

Or, if there is fear, give yourself permission to scream.

"When these feelings arise allow . yourself to recognize them and find a safe place to externalize them, where you are not going to be judged."

Externalizing these feeli n gs will "allow the pain to leave so that you can enjoy the good times in th e holidays."

Since this is the t ime for relationships, Clark suggests, "Be with somebody, whether family or friend."

Business manager finds job challenging

By Polly Filanc Distinguished looking is one way to describe David Scott, Palomar's new business manager. Impressive might be another.

As one person puts it, "He looks like a cross between a mountain man, a television news anchorman, and an NFL coach."

Even though tackling fmances has been his main focus for many years, Scott, 43, is more than a man in a business suit.

He is a believer in changes and challenges. Which is one reason why he applied for the job at Palomar.

Having spent his last eight years in Alaska, Scott says, "I have worked on the state and district level offour-year colleges and universities, but I have never worked at the campus level, and I was never close to campus problems."

'He looks like a cross between a mo untain man, a television news anchorman, and a NFL coach.'

Before coming here, Scott was deputy director for fmance and management services in the Alaska State Department of Education at Juneau.

Now, as chief fmancial officer, he says, "It's more personal here than on the state level."

Currently, Scott is in the middle of juggling $1.4 million in budget cuts, which resulted when Governor George Deukmejian blue-penciled state funds to community colleges.

With this type of job, there is a lot of stress. Lately, for Scott, it has been "tense."

To handle the stress, Scott fmds that refereeing adult and youth soccer games on the weekends allows him to unwind and forget about the pressures. He also hopes to referee his favorite sport, basketball, this season.

An avid Comet fan , Scott faithfully attends all soccer homegames.

Cooking is another tension outlet. "I love food!!! I cook a lot of main dishes

Scott tackles $1 .4 million deficit ever quiets down around here."

Although Scott's hands have been filled with budget problems, his other responsibilities include: accounting, payroll, purchasing, maintenance, custodial, and the bookstore and cafeteria.

He also works with the state and federal legislatures, and with other government agencies.

In dealing with the current deficit problems, Scott sees himself as a "moderator," trying to "provide information and some guidance to the budget committee and the Board of Trustees on where to cut and where the dollars are."

While this has been his biggest challenge so far, he is anxious to address other areas. For instance, "I want to work on the final fiscal report of state and federal grants." Scott is not satisified with the current process of those reports, because "they are being handled outside of this office. I am worried about the consistency of the reports."

and especially like to experiment with meats and sauces."

So far this bearded, surprisingly softspoken man seems to be handling the pressures of his job well.

No newcomer to California, Scott was born in Riverside and is a graduate of San Diego State University where he received his BS in Business Management.

Even though moving back to California has been a major adjustment for his family, which consists of four t eenagers and his wife, Bev, Scott is glad to be here.

"I want my kids to have better educational opportunities. As much as I liked Alaska, I was not happy with the education there."

While growing up, Scott considered himself a "shy, quiet guy."

But by asserting himself in college and in his first job, of repossessing cars, he was able to overcome his timidity.

In describing his first job, Scott says, "I learned a lot about people, and how they respond to pressures differently.

Some crumble, some get angry and 0thers become very passive."

One time he nearly risked his life trying to repossess a truck. "This guy actually went into his house to get his gun while I was pressing him for credit.

Luckily, for me, he couldn't fmd it.

Instead, I ended up chasing him and the truck across town, until finally he ran out of gas and abandoned the truck. As I found out later, his wife, who knew I was coming, had hidden the gun because her husband had threatened earlier to use it. This was when I first learned the trick of the trade ...pull the distributor cap."

After awhile, Scott realized that there was no future in repossessing cars.

Ever since he has worked in various business administrative positions.

In 1975, Scott went to Alaska where he was the Director of Budget and Institutional Studies at the University of Alaska, which encompassed the entire community college system.

David Scott While there he was also the legislative fiscal analyst for the Alaskan legislature.

Prior to Alaska, Scott was the business manager for the Los Alamitos school district, the director of business services for the Davis Unified School District, and the budget officer at California State University in Long Beach.

Some remnants of his past jobs are prominently displayed in the window of his office. A plaque of appreciation was given him by the administrative staff at Los Alamitos; and a peculiarlooking bicycle was an appropriate gift from the Davis school board since Davis is noted as the bicycle capital of the world. "Every one rode bikes but m e," Scott adds.

In addition to his credentials, he has also done some graduate work in Public Administration at the University of Southern California. He says with a chuckle, "I'd like to get back to it if it

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION DEAN

Muraski gives college high marks

By Sarah Grimes His flat Indiana accent and easy going manner belie his experience and knowledge in his field.

Dr. Edward J. Muraski was chosen last summer from a field of more than 100 candidates to be Dean of Vocational Education.

He fills a vacancy left when former dean Walter Brown retired.

Muraski brings to Palomar 21 years of experience in education, including 14 years as an administrator. Besides his tenure as an educator and administrator, he is also the author of five books and numerous articles on vocational education.

The new dean arrives at Palomar after spending three years as Dean of Instruction at Florida Keys Community College. Before that he was Dean of Instruction, Occupational Education at El Camino College in Los Angeles County.

Comparing his experience at previous colleges to Palomar, Muraski says he especially liked Dr. Scheidt's "collegiate style of management."

Muraski describes this style as a process "where everybody has input into the system. The input comes down through the system, compromises are made and you come up with solutions to problems.

"Even students are involved. Everyone is listened to."

Muraski gives the college high marks for its "good faculty" and "good structural planning on campus." He calls Dr. Scheidt "one of the best presidents I've worked under."

Edward Muraski Despite the budget problems tnat face the state's community colleges, the new dean calls Palomar "fiscally sound, even with all the problems we face."

He elaborates. "If somebody jerks 10 per cent out of your salary for that year, most of us couldn't survive. How do you expect an institution like this to not have problems?

"Some of the faculty and the press blame the board and the administration for the financial cuts. I think the governor is responsible for the fmancial problems.

"Once the facts are weighed, I think the faculty will realize how well off they are. In my opinion they (the

faculty) are doing fairly well compared to other places."

Contrasting Palomar with a previous college he had worked, Muraski said, "Right before I left the Florida Keys College, I hired a math teacher for $12,000 a year. I think we're in better shape than a lot of people realize."

Already during his short tenure, the dean has brought in about a million dollars in additional funding to Palomar.

Although his "goals have been modified by some of Palomar's fmancial problems," Muraski is optimistic about the future of the vocational education program.

"Regardless of what happens to us, North County is going to grow. And we're going to have to meet the needs of the community. The employers in the area depend on us."

Muraski has begun a "comprehensive need assessment program to determine what the needs are in North County."

In order to improve the community college funding crisis, he feels that students must start "complaining" if they want to make an "impact on the state legislature.

"Teachers, administrators and board members have complained about the lack of state funding, but the students haven't."

Although Palomar is facing its share of problems, Muraski emphasizes that "A lot of positive things are happening here.

"It's a good school and I'm happy to be here."

Because of recent thefts in the maintenance area, which has already suffered from "big cuts," Scott feels that "We don't have adequate security and custodial coverage, especially on the weekends."

Another major challenge Scott sees in his new job is "improving the communication between this office and the staff." He says that "Before I came, communication was not good."

Also, Scott points out that the college has other weaknesses. "It does not have a strong program review process." Because of this there is a "lack of consensus."

In adjusting to his new job, Scott

considers himself more of a listener and an observer.

As an observer, he predicts that the tuition battle is "lost" for this year and maybe the next, because the "economic forecast is up."

For the next fiscal year, Scott's main concern is trying to increase this spring's enrollment. Because enrollment is below the CAP (the maximum amount the state will pay per full time student) this semester, the college faces "a tremendous loss of money for next year, over a million dollars."

Unless some miracle happens in Sacramento, 'I rea lly think we're not getting any relief in the current year and maybe not the next. But I am assuming the chances will be better then.'

Unless some miracle happens in Sacramento, "I really think we're not getting relief in the current year and maybe not the next. But I am assuming the chances will be better then."

Even though the pressures are great and he faces many challenges, in speaking before committees and meetings, his voice and manner seem assured. In the privacy of his office, he makes his visitor feel at ease. And on the gamefield or in the stands his enthusiasm can be contagious.

While Scott has little time to dream, in his few spare moments, he can see himself refereeing a World Cup soccer match or even an NCAA championship basketball game."

Sandoval pursues dreams, film notoriety

By Chris Reynolds Pursuing his dream to become a motion picture director, Sute Sandoval came to the United States from Venezuela in January of 1982.

In Venezuela Sandoval had achieved some notoriety as an actor. He had performed in commercials and three Venezuelan soap operas. He had also been an assistant producer for J . Walter Thompson.

Why give up a career in Venezuelan TV for the dubious pursuit of the American cinema? ''There's a big difference between American and Venezuelan TV," according to Sandoval. ''That difference is quality. Venezuelan TV is kind of rough around the edges."

The main reason he came to the United States is education.

"The best schools for cinematography are in America. It's not that we don't have good people in Venezuela, it's just that the schools are not as good. In Venezuela I worked with

'If I could w alk into a theater and see my film on the big screen and have people in the aud ience understand what I'm trying to say, I'll consider I've made it.'

Roman Chalbaud and Clemnte de la Certa, two very famous Venezuelan directors of cinema and TV, and I also worked with Paco Fustero who directs commercials. These are the people who got me involved and taught me a lot about directing, but there just weren't the high level of schools available to attend in Venezuela. America has the best schools.

"One of the things that amazes me about some American students is that they just don't realize how good they've

got it. There are good teachers and bad teachers everywhere, but I fmd some students just don't take advantage of the opportunities that good instructors offer them. A good teacher offers so many new areas to explore that expand your horizons. This is one of the things that Palomar has given me.

"I was originally studying at SDSU

'I th ink every director should be an actor and every actor a writer.' and was hoping to transfer to USC, but my English was lacking. While I was at SDSU, I heard about Palomar and they have a very good reputation in the telecommunications area. I'm currently applying to USC and hope to get accepted. I should get confirmation later this month sometime. I had originally intended to go to UCLA or USC, but USC looks more attractive to me."

Following in the footsteps of his favorite director, Orson Welles, Sandoval studies all facets of his craft.

"I think every director should be an actor and every actor a writer." Sandoval seems to follow this philosophy.

He has taken acting classes, production classes, singing lessons and is even currently enrolled in dance classes.

"If you have practical knowledge, you learn the possibilities and the limitations," said Sandoval.

Sandoval is currently putting all his experience to use in his current project ''Tacos and Hamburgers", a satirical play about a couple whose cultural differences lend their relationship to humor.

In addition to producing the half hour comedy, which he wrote, he will also play the lead role, in much the same way Welles did in his infamous production "Citizen Kane". ''Tacos and Hamburgers" is a first for Palomar in one respect. It will be the (Continued on page 6)

MUSIC REVIEW

Rainy Day revives songs, sounds of 60's

By Phil Drenth Many musicians of the eighties have grown up with the music of the sixties.

The influences of folk, surf, psychedelia and British invasion are so apparent in today's new music, it was only a matter of time before someone paid them tribute.

"Rainy Day" is here.

Recorded earlier this year, "Rainy Day'' is a collective effort by various members of four Los Angeles bands: the Bangles, Rain Parade, Three O'Clock, and Dream Syndicate. David Roback of the Rain Parade takes care of production duties.

"Rainy Day" is comprised of nine songs written by such prominent sixties figures as Neil Young, Jirni Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend and Lou Reed. Familiar songs such as "Sloop John B" (the Beach Boys) and ''I'll Be Your Mirror" (the Velvet Under-

ground) are mixed with lesser-known material such as John Riley (the Byrds) for a well rounded whole. Styles range from the quiet acoustic guitar/vocal "On The Way Horne" to the feedback laden bluesy throb of "Rainy Day, Dream Away". Standout tracks include two sung by Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles -"I'll Keep It With Mine" and "I'll Be Your Mirror.

"Rainy Day" is enjoyable easy listening without being the slick anaesthetic rnaypo so often associated with the term "easy listening". This album should appeal to a wide range of listeners, from those who lived in the sixties to those who were only old enough to watch.

Winter is almost upon us. This is a perfect season to settle in with a favorite warm drink and a good record on the stereo. If you're old enough to remember the originals, you can even sing along.

The Elephant Man' continues

By Sarah Grimes Bernard Pomerance's "The Elephant Man" almost rnetarnorphosized into the "Invisible Man." Because of budget cuts and poor box returns in the past, Palomar's production of the "Elephant Man" was nearly canceled.

But through "hard work" and "cuts in production that were fairly easy to make in this particular play," the show will go on, according to David Boyd, director.

Based on a "poetic statement about man's acceptance or his lack of accep tance by his fellow human beings," the story of John Merrick, universally known as ''The Elephant Man," will continue its second week run on December 14, 15 and 16 at 7:30p.m.

Director Boyd says he's "sticking very close to what I believe was Pomerance's intention."

Through suggestion rather than demonstration, Merrick's grotesque, deformed appearance will be conveyed by the actor's skill and interpretation.

"All of the characters are open to

interpretation and I'm encouraging the actors to develop their own understanding of them."

Professional fl.lrn and television star Christopher Lowry will play Treves, Merrick's doctor at the London Hospital. John Grzesiak, who has appeared in several local theater productions, has the demanding role of John Merrick. Colleen Claypool will play Mrs. Kendal, the actress who introduced the Elephant Man to London society.

In order to "increase the intimacy between the performers and the audience," the play will be performed on a "raked" or sloped stage.

Although Merrick's deformities will only be suggested by Grzesiak, the audience will be graphically reminded of Merrick's grotesqueness as slides are shown on screens built around the stage.

Merrick suffered from a rare disease called necrofibrornatosis, which created hideous lesions on his skin and other physical deformities that made people scream and run from the sight of him.

Despite recent box office failures,

Boyd is "optimistic that the show will be a success.

"If I gauged this show on past records, I'd be very pessimistic. Christmas is often a bad time of year for theater.

There are too many other things to do. ''This is not a laugh a minute story.

It's not cheerful. But I think it's touching and positive. 'The Elephant Man' glorifies a human being."

Boyd blames the theater's fmancial crisis on Governor Deukrnijian and the legislature.

"Every theater in North County operates in the red. Even the Old Globe depends on an arts fund . We (Palomar's theater ) may be dead in the water unless some other funding is found."

Yet the director is buoyed by the success of the play's Broadway and London runs and the movie version.

Ticket prices are $5 general admission and $4 for senior citizens, students and staff.

~Nutcracker' features cast of

By Sarah Grimes Delighting children of all ages, the fourth annual full-length production of ''The Nutcracker" ballet will open during the holiday season at the Palomar College Theatre.

Sponsored by the P~lornar College Speech/ Theatre/ Dance Department, Community Services and the New West Ballet School, this popular Christmas

show plays before sell-out crowds.

Eugenia Keefer directs a cast of 110 people ranging in age from four years to adult.

Keefer credits the past sucess of the Palomar production to "many hours of hard work."

She also notes that "people come back to see this ballet as a yearly tradition. It's part of their Christmas holi-

The Concert Band, conducted by

Pat Hoy, will perform the Faces of Kumbaya by Mrican composer Zdechuk. The "Faces" refer to the moods depicted musically by the laughing, crying and singing of the Mrican song "Kurnbaya."

Ticket prices are $4.50 and $3.50 general admission; $4 and $3 for senior citizens and $2 for students and children.

"New York, New York- it's a wonderful town ..." It's theatre at its very best - original, exciting and thoughtprovoking.

It's also art . . . from the Guggenheim to the Frick Collection, from the upper East Side galleries to the artists' colony of Soho.

It's the opera and the ballet at Lincoln Center, the activity of Wall Street, strolls down Fifth Avenue, hot dogs at Nathan's ... and the city's wild, wacky, wonderful people.

All this and more awaits the participants on the third annual Christmas Season in NewYorktheatretourled by Buddy Ashbrook, drama instructor and theatre director.

The tour departs from San Diego on the morning of December 26 and returns the evening of January 2. On arrival in New York, the group will transfer to its hotel in Manhattan, just steps away from Times Square in the heart of the theatre district.

The guides for the tour will be professional New York actors who will lead small groups on personalized ex-

cursions into the realm of New York theatre from their own viewpoint as actors. The group might fmd themselves visiting an open "call" ( audition), talking to a casting agent or producer or even visiting the unemployment office, a second horne for many New York actors.

Ashbrook states,"Although the tour is oriented toward the theatre, the time is unstructured enough that participants can pursue any interest they wish." The base cost is $689 which includes roundtrip air transportation, accommodations for seven nights in triple-bed rooms (single and double supplements are available), a guided tour of Lincoln Center or the United Nations, services of the guides and escorts, and an orchestra ticket to the hit musical "Cats".

Because of limited space, anyone interested should contact Ashbrook immediately at the college, 744-1150, or 746-7529, or call 746-3566. Information will be available soon for a theatre trip to London scheduled for April13-22, 1984.

days, something families can do together. Our production fits into a family budget."

Explaining the broad appeal of the ballet, the director says, ''The story centers around a Christmas party. The children in the production who play the 'Baby Mice' and 'Lemon Drops' attract the children in the audience.

The adults in the classical roles attract the ballet enthusiasts."

Although the production is very traditional, Keefer "sweated and sweated to do my own thing and not fall back on the things I learned with my ten years with the California Ballet."

Keefer was previously a soloist for the California Ballet.

Besides directing, she wil perform the role of the "Sugar Plum Fairy."

David Crookes will repeat his performance as "Snow King" and also dance the role of "Cavalier."

Tickets are available through the Speech/ Theater / Dance Department, 744-1150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2405 or 2406.

General admission is $6 with special group rates available. Advance ticket purchase is recommended.

'THE NUTCRACKER'- David Crookes alternates in the roles of'Snow King' and the 'Cavalier' in the traditional Christmas ballet. This is the fourth annual Palomar production of the seasonal favorite.

Bus life captures pioneer, holiday spirit

By Polly Filanc Snow blanketing the earth . . . oak leaves rustling in the icy wind ... grey skies promising more snow . . . deer browsing on a few dried sprigs of grass .. . wood fires welcoming families indoors .. . the scent of pine permeating the air . . . all seemed to indicate that Chistmas was near.

Except for one detail, Christmas 1978 in Wisconsin's Great North Woods painted a perfect pioneer picture.

Missing in this Currier & Ives version of an American Christmas was the log house snuggled in a grove of pine. Instead, four school buses were huddled together on our farm to stave off winter's bitter cold winds.

But who needed a house when all the comforts and trappings of Christmas were captured in the cozy living quarters of our main bus.

Inside the bus, one could hardly guess that years ago hundreds of children used to scream and holler to and from school every day.

Stripped of its benches, the bus contained, on a small scale, the basics of most houses - a kitchen equipped with sink, stove, icebox and cupboards; a bedroom built with bunks, closets and compartments; a paneled and carpeted living room filled with books, shelves, ¡table, kerosene lamps, rocking chair, treadle sewing machine, fold down bed, and, most importantly, a wood heater.

That Christmas my husband and I and our two-year old daughter came close to capturing the pioneer spirit of our forefathers.

Without running water, indoor toilet, electricity and telephone we managed to keep warm, healthy and happy despite our isolation

utmost precaution. And celebration was met with the prost of Wisconsin's best bock beer.

When midnight approached, final touches were added to the illusion that Santa arrived -a plate of cookies that were partially eaten and presents mysteriously appeared.

At the break of dawn we dashed out of bed to find a cast iron skillet for mom, the proverbial socks for dad, and, as baby's eyes lit up, a shiny red sled.

Morning waned as we bundled up for the long, cold walk through the woods to spend the rest of Christmas with family members.

Late that evening, after we cleared away scraps of cardboard, wrappings and trimmings, we carefully set aside our picture postcard of Christmas for the harsh realities of a Wisconsin winter.

Xmas cheater finally cured

By Melanie Anderson This is a Christmas story about my brother, Aaron, who is a chronic "Christmas cheater."

Every year about this time, the "holiday bug" catches up with him, and trying to contain this jolly fellow is a full-time affair.

Giving in wasn't easy, but his holiday spirit is just too much. So now, instead of fighting it .. . ... Christmas lights go up in late November, and before the rest of the family is even ready to admit the season, cheery holiday music can be heard from his room.

This is his story about his fetish for unwrapping his gifts before Christmas, and how we cured him of it. (Over the years we learned that double and triple wrapping his gifts did no good for an eager, over-curious young boy.)

Aaron: "I am 14 years old and the Christmas I can't forget happened two years ago. Every single Christmas I promise myself that I won't unwrap my presents before Christmas, but I always end up unwrapping some anyway.

"Take, for example, what happened two years ago. I unwrapped a mysterious looking package two weeks before Christmas, and inside it was a pair of moped keys. I was really excited. I was so excited, in fact, that I just threw the package back together, not bothering with the usual professional style of rewrapping that I do, hoping that no one would notice."

Well, as an experienced family of a "Christmas cheater", Aaron's act did not escape our eyes. We decided to break his habit once and for all.

Aaron: "It must have been visible that I had opened the present, because my family discovered my crime. No one ever told me at the time that they knew, and I soon found out why.

"Christmas Eve finally arrived and brought company along with it. That evening, after spirits and snacks, we all decided to open one present. We assembled in a circle in front of the fireplace, each of us with a present to open beside us. Soon it was my turn to open a present. I chose the one with the moped keys."

Despite discouragement from opening the "Biggie" first, Aaron did. There's no doubt that a guilty and nervous conscience made him open the one he peeked into first. We all watched him closely and tried to hide our smiles.

Aaron: "I picked up the package gently while trying to hide the evidence of ripped paper and loose tape that exposed my crime. It was unnaturally quiet, and I wondered why. Within the next moment, before 1 had a chance to do anything, the wrapping suddenly fell apart and dropped into my hands. Following immediately, a large pair of men's underwear fell into my lap. Astonished, I looked up to see everybody laughing at me."

Needless to say, shock and embarassment was what Aaron remembered on that Christmas Eve. He did receive the moped the next morning, but of course his surprise was ruined.

We gave him his surprise the night before.

from the complexities of modern life.

We felt secure that Christmas because our root cellar was full with canned tomatoes, beans, pickles and jams; our firewood was abundant; plenty of deer meat was properly stored away for the winter; and water from our hand pump was readily available for washing and cooking. For those extra cold nights, a thunder mug stood waiting in a remote corner of the bus when a trip to the outhouse seemed most unpleasant.

A small Christmas tree, decorated with hand-made ornaments, blessed us with all the high expectations of a fine holiday.

Christmas Eve was spent in preparation.

Our Monarch cook stove radiated mouthwatering smells of homemade bread, cookies and candies. Presents were wrapped with

Hope lives in hearts of men

By Chris Reynolds Christmas is a time of magic . . . a time of wonder . . . a time of romantic sentiment .. . a time of caring and sharing ... a time of giving and receiving ... a time for the Virginias of the world . . . a time of peace on earth and good will towards men.

Many have tried to capture its essence.

Dickens succeeded with "A Christmas Carol," Bing Crosby with "White Christmas" and the journalists' favorite, Francis P. Church with "Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus."

While I sit in front of the TV watching Christmas commercials, or when I feel the icy winds of December, I realize that among the

tinsel and the bows, the wrappings and the trappings, hides the shining gift that is the essence of Christmas, Hope.

Hope that Santa will come . . . hope that next year will be better . .. hope that peace on earth and good will towards men can become a reality.

The story of Christmas is a story of hope.

So even if tradition should lose its memory, as long as hope shall live in the hearts of men, Christmas shall never die. And in those sagacious words of Robert Kennedy, "The hope lives on and the dream shall never die."

I just hope my luck holds out, and yours too.

Merry Christmas.

LEITERS TO EDITOR Editor: This letter is directed to those people who find it acceptable to dispose of their garbage on campus grounds.

The area outside the cafeteria and Student Union, in particular, often bears a striking resemblance to the county dump. This is inexcusable since several trash cans are available there.

Since you obviously have no pride in yourselves or consideration for others, perhaps pointing out to you the health benefits of a good, brisk walk to a trash can will help.

Besides improving muscle tone, it would increase the rate of blood circulation and oxygen supply to all parts of the body, including that area of your anatomy (wherever it may be) which houses your brain.

Editor: SUCCESS!!! Thanks to your donations and support, the Associated Student Government Food Bank is a reality!

Our doors are now open three days a week, serving our students in need.

We would like to thank all who have helped us in getting this project started, especially the Patrons of Palomar, Student Help Center, ASG, B'nai Brith, Alpha Beta, Palomar Business Office staff, Women's Club of Rancho Bernardo, certificated and classified staff, and numerous anonymous donors.

With the 400 plus cans donated through the Inter-Club Council Food Drive at their picnic, our supply now stands at better than 600 cans of food, some fresh fruit and cheese.

Again, I would like to thank you for your help and support in this worthwhile project.

Leonard Flagg, ASG president

By Gary Taylor There have been few times in our nation's history when the arrival of Christmas, with all its hopes for peace and cooperation among the peoples of the world, has not brought forth a resurgence of idealistic spirit among Americans.Christmas 1983 may be a profoundly disturbing exception.

The world today is confronted with the bleak reality that the spirit of Christmas is threatened by the vast nuclear arsenals of the United States and the Soviet Union. Whatever tenuous hopes humanity holds for genuine peace and a rebirth of spirit are preserved yet tempered by the uneasy balance of terror between the two nations.

Americans are no more immune than other peoples of the world to the stark fear that the U.S. and U.S.S.R. are engaged in an unprecedented confrontation of wills that could ultimately lead to the finality of nuclear war. But that fear must not become unreasonable or paralyze the human spirit into despair and the abandonment of hope.

This nation has a responsibility, not only as Americans but as humans, to exhaust every effort to seek a just peace with our enemies.

But as Americans we can never accept a peace that renounces the ideals of democracy, of freedom, or violates the most sacred beliefs of our national heritage. If we ever accept such a peace, then it will be peace in name only for as a nation we would have sacrificed all we have ever believed in and thus surrendered our faint but never ending hope that the human spirit cannot be broken by threat or intimidation.

John Kennedy said twenty years ago that Americans seek neither the peace of the grave nor the peace of the slave but peace itself. We can have peace through accomodation as certainly as we can have peace through surrender, but those options represent a betrayal of what peace actually is.

What many people throughout the world and in America fail to understand is that the entire nuclear arsenal possessed by the United States does not threaten the Soviet Union as much as our committment to the principles of democracy and freedom. These principles represent the very antithesis of a totalitarian state, principles that the Soviet Union has acknowledged must be eliminated before Communism can assume the global domination they believe it is destined for.

Consequently, when the American people's committment to the principles of democracy weakens, then the Soviet conventional and nuclear threat increases disproportianately and menacingly. The Soviets understand that our democracy's fatal flaw in the nuclear age could manifest itself in the belief that preserving humanity under any form of government, including totalitarianism, is preferable to the inconceivable horror of destroying it.

The dangerous times we live in cannot be made more just or reasonable by assuming unjust or unreasonable beliefs. Abandoning faith in humanity and accepting nuclear devastation as inevitable is as futile an attitude as naively believing that disarming the nation will lessen the chances of war. A balance must be struck between the extremes, one that appeals to the better angels of our nature, as Lincoln said, if we are to sustain our hopes for peace.

Food Bank allocates â&#x20AC;˘ grocer1es

Computer age benefits budget This is the year of the computer.

Palo mar is no exception.

Director of Data Processing Mike Reid says that the school uses computers for administrative purposes, finan c ial aid , Exte nded Opportunity Program Services, registration and student records, and all other student services.

A Pertain School3000 school budget software package was recently purchased to a id in figuring the budget.

Party helps needy kids Needy c hildren throughout the North County will be the benefactors of the 13th Annual Christmas Party on December 21, sponsored by MEChA ( Move miento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan ).

MEChA stude nts once again are inviting c hildre n between the ages of two and 12 to participate in an exciting day of gam es, prizes, free lunches and a puppet show.

Th e Christmas party, sche duled between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., will be held in th e campus Student Union and will include a special appearance by Santa Claus, scheduled to distribute gifts to the children.

Local individuals and businesses are being urged to donate toys, wrapping paper, tape and cash to this worthy cause, which has, over the years, served hundreds of children from lowerincome families.

For more information, call the MEChA office at 744-1150 or 727-7529 Ext. 2604.

"When this program becomes fully op erational it will be a great aid in balancing the budget. However, budgets are still balanced by people," Reid stressed.

In the area of student records, an "On Line" permanent records program is being set up. This software system, developed at Santa Rosa College makes student records more accessible.

These software packages are run through a Hewlett Packard HP-3000 series 64 computer. This machine has a disk storage capacity of 1.2 million "bytes" and a laser printer.

Reid believes that the Data Processing Center should try to make more personal processing available to each department but sees the ultimate goal of the center as "100 percent efficiency."

He feels that the center has made great advancements in achieving this goal this year. In spite of these advances, Reid says that the center is on ly operating at about 30 percent efficiency now.

In an effort to increase efficiency, the Data Center voluntarily reduced its staff from 13 to 6 members. They managed to trim $9,600 from their budget.

Because ofthese efficiency cuts they have been less effected by budget cuts than other departments. Still, they have lost one staff member and are unsure of replacement.

Although Reid sees no major changes in Palomar's computer system, he did point out that "small changes result in much work" in a small amount of time. He gave the new drop fee and the approval of the budget as examples of this.

"After the state legislature approved the budget, we had one month" to adapt existing programs, Reid said.

When will Sandoval consider he has "made it"?

"If I could walk into a theater and see my film on t he big screen and have people in the audience understand what I'm trying to say, I'll consider I've made it."

Sandoval wants to "have an impact" on his art form , like Welles did and like his other contemporary favorites, Bob Fosse of"All That Jazz", Alan Parker of "Fame" and Adrian Lyne of "Flashdance".

Although he hopes to be successful Sandoval is realistic abo ut the possibility of "making it".

"Even if I'm unable to become famous, learning in America will be the best experience in my life. 1 hope one day to be able to return to Venezuela, to share my experience and teach what I have learned. ''I'm having the best of times in Ame rica," and he adds with a modest smile, "I've been given the opportunity to follow my dream and I'm going for it."

Nursing club answers many career questions For those students interested in a nursing career, a club organization known as SNAP, Student Nurses at Palomar, is available to students enrolled in the nursing program .

A regional chapter affliated with NSNA, National Student Nurses Association, SNAP is a "service organization for members and acts as an interm ediary for students," says president Rebecca Young-Balleras.

Serving the student nursing body, SNAP aids the members with information and answers questions concern ing professional, legal, and financial aspects of the nursing career.

"Many people think it's a local club on campus,"Yo un g-Balleras says,"but as a campus club we are severely limited in campus visibility."

This is due, she continues, to the busy student nurse schedule, which consists of in-school classes and parttime work in North County hospitals, such as Palomar, Tri-City, and Pomerado.

The students work as a member of the staff and use the hospital as a clin ical facility for their training , based upon current level of expertise.

Presently SNAP is involved with the Inter-Club Council and the Mayfair. A booth is set up for the annual May event, giving free blood pressure checks and information on high blood pressure.

With hopes of increasing membership, SNAP has a few ideas on the drawing board which would hopefully encourage membership and student interest. Two $25 membership drawings, sending one student to a yearly student nurse convention, and a student nurse scholars hip are under consideration for this purpose.

Funded solely by $4 semester membership dues, SNAP consists of 30 paid members. Th is money helps defray SNAP's only expense of the pinning ceremony for grad uating nurses.

SNAP has nine board members, Irene Stiller, facu lty advisor; YoungBalleras, president; Carla Grabianowski, vice-president; Kathy Kitchen, secretary, and Georgia Hensley, treasurer.

Also included are representatives of the four nursing classes.

According the Young -Balleras, board goals include "increasing student awareness of what we would like to do," besides increasing money use and campus visibility.

SNAP meetings are held the first Monday of each month from 11 to 12 p .m . in NA-2. This might be of interest to pre-entry nursing students, who are urged to attend meetings.

"SNAP can be whatever the student nurses want it to be," Ybung-Balleras concludes,"it takes personal involvement, either to run or serve on the board or attend meetings."

Admissions office accepts applications for next semester Applications for admission for the spring semester are now available through the college admissions office and will be accepted through January 20 to receive priority registration appointments.

Continuing students intending to register for the spring semester must file their "intent to register" cards to the Admissions Office in person or by mail accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope to receive priority status for registration.

"Intent to register" cards have been mailed; if you are currently attending Palomar and did not receive your card, you may present picture identification and will be issued a registration appointment.

Upon receipt of the returned application or "intent to register" card, the admissions office will distribute an appointment card with a schedu led registration date and time.

Appointment registration is scheduled to begin January 25 with open registration February 2. Classes will begin February 6. Class schedules wil! be available mid-December.

Admissions office hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p .m ., Monday through Friday, and 5

p.m. to 8 p .m . Monday through Thursday.

Students interested in attending Palomar classes offered at the Mt. Carmel or Camp Pendleton satellite centers shou ld call Mt. Carme l, Monday through Thursday, 3 to 10 p .m. at 484389 1 or Camp Pendleton, Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. or 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays at 725-6626 or 725-5027.

"On the last day of s ummer school, the clubs had a picnic . There were some hotdog buns, two or three packages, left over. These two guys came and asked if they could have the m .

'Sure', I said, thinking they would take them home and use them."

To Klug's amazement the bun requesters "wolfed them down right on the spot.'

After that incident, Klug and Hanley began comparing notes with others around campus, determining there was a need to feed hungry students.

Sounding more like a welfare agent than a student, Klug describes a typical recipient, as a single parent with 1.5 children, no car and a class of 14 units.

Unlike the public welfare system, the Food Bank is based on voluntary donations and t he critera are simple.

Qualifications include full-time en rollment with a minimum of 12 units or single parents with a minimum of nine units. All individuals must show "an obvious need" and be referred by one of several campus offices. Some of the referral areas are Counseling, Financial Aids, EOPS, Student Help Cen ter, Women's Center and Ch ild Development.

Flagg says, "We figured that these referral areas would know the needs of these people better than us."

Those who qualify receive a weekly ration of one food item per unit. Stu dents with children are alloted three cans extra per child. ''This seems to be the simplest method of distribution," adds Klug.

While student leaders are aware that there could be abusers of the program , they say, "This has not been the case so far."

On the contrary, "What is inspirational about the program," Klug explains, as he helps one recipient fill a bag full of groceries, "is those who qualify are being very honest.

"Several times, people haven't taken the amount of food they qualify for, saying, 'I'll let someone else have it who may need it more'."

Klug predicts that the food program will be "continuous." As a back up system, various clubs and organizations have pledged to s upport the program through monthly monetary donations.

He also figures that, "We have the need now and t hat will continue.

Therefore, the program will continue.''

Cagers lack size, not enthusiasm Daniels, Woods, Klaman keys to good ball club'' II

By Bill Wilson Over the years coach Andy Gilmour has come to expect the inevitable death, taxes, and lack of size on the basketball court.

This year is no exception.

Death comes all to soon, as well as the month of April, and other than 6-8 sophomore transfer Lance Reed, Palomar's starting five will literally be looked down on again.

Although the Comet mentor can do little to avoid such calamities as dying or the IRS, he has done more than just learned to cope with the everpresent height disparity.

Gilmour runs a fast-pace offense designed to out maneuver his taller, less agile opponents.

But still he's cautious.

"Because we're not super big, we're going to have to be patient, even if we want to run,"says Gilmour,refering to his motion offense. "Our strength is going to have to be playing well together at all times. I think we can be a good ball club."

Gilmour is quick to point out that his current squad is farther along at this juncture than the one which finished at a 13-15 clip a season ago.

"As far as the team is concerned," he continued," we're a little bit ahead of last year."

The Comet roster includes Reed, who played at Saddleback as a freshman two years ago, then red-shirted under Gilmour last season.

"He should be our leading rebounder," his coach said of the center. "He has a good outlet, and he's improved his shooting quite a bit."

At the guard spots will be two returners from last year. 5-11 Lloyd Klaman, whom Gilmour regards as a game player, will handle the point position, while 6-0 Jack Woods lines up at off guard.

Woods averaged 14 points per outing last season, and Gilmour feels "if he plays up to his potential, he can be outstanding."

Another transfer, 6-4 Louis Daniels, from Friends College in Kansas, occupies the strong forward position.

Mike Garrison, a 6-4 sophomore out ofMt. Carmel High takes over the weak forward duties.

Vista High's Scott Ogden is thtComets sixth man at this time, but the 6-0 sophomore can plan on starting at times accordin~ to his coach.

Backing up one of the forward spots is Chris Vito us, 6-4. "He's one of those guys who is always ready to play."

6-6 Lance Faber gives Gilmour some much needed depth at center to spell Reed when called on. Brian Busch, 6-4, is another player who can help out at the big man position.

Jerome Govan, 5-10, Robert Bonynge, 6-1, Gary Gieskens,6-2,and Russ Riley, 6-3, give the Comets depth at the guard spots.

In the Antelope Valley Tournament held November 30 through December 3, Palomar gained the consolation championship_with a 83-63 win over Glendale College.

The locals suffered a 76-67 opening loss to Fresno which forced them in to the consolation bracket. There the hoopsters took two consecutive wins over College of the Canyons 50-49, and Biola 73-61 before winning the title game.

Leading scorers in the fmals were Woods and Daniels, who each scored 24 points, and Klaman, who tossed in 23. Woods and Daniels also shared the rebounding lead with nine apiece in the winning effort.

Gilmour's cagers began their '83 campaign November 23-24 with a win and a loss at the Hemet Rotary Club Tournament at Mt. San Jacinto College.

The Comets were impressive in their season debut as they bounced back from a six point deficit to ruin Los Angeles Mission's opener 78-69.

Daniels led Palomar again with 24 points, followed byVitous who poured in 18 and grabbed a game high eight rebounds.

Klaman and Woods added 12 and 10 points, respectively.

Palomar dropped the title game, however, to Antelope Valley 85-71.

The local's inability to maintain a consistant shooting percentage cost the Comets the tourney fmal.

Palomar hit on 64 percent of its shots in the first half, but netted only 34 percent of its second half attempts.

Daniels and Woods earned All-Tournament honors.

Gridders, waterpoloists receive athletic achievement awards Several players were recognized December 4 for their athletic achievments at the football awards presentation.

The accolades include: Most Valuable Player-freshman wide receiver Lafo Malauulu; Offensive Player of the Year - Malauulu; Defensive Player of the Year - Sophomore linebacker Mac McKeever; Special Teams Player of the Year- sophomore p·unter Steve Binns; Most Improved Player - sophomore linebacker Dave Last; Most Inspirational - sophomore defensive lineman Tony Jackson; Academic Achievement Award - sophomore offensive lineman Butch Boll; Offensive Captain - sophomore quarterback Mike Meyer; and Defensive Captain McKeever.

Special Coaches Awards went to sophomore linebacker Pat Tobin, and sophomore offnesive lineman Ken Kubik. The Kevin Kelly Award went to sophomore defensive back Frank Acevedo. ...
