Preparations for the Palomar College Theatre's March 29 world premiere performance of Ray Bradbury's ''The Martian Chronicles" are continuing at an increasingly rapid but professional pace, said theatre director Buddy Ashbrook.

Ashbrook confirmed that there have been no significant casting, stage, or rehearsal delays in the production's tight schedule. He said the temporary casting delay that prevented the fmal role in the 16-member cast from being filled until early last week was no longer a concern. ''The production's cast is complete, rehearsals are continuing on an uninterrupted basis, and stage preparations are proceeding without any problems," Ashbrook said. He added that technical aspects of the production are also progressing on schedule.

Africana Studies Program • hosts speaker ser1es "Informative, diverse, and exciting."

These are the words used to describe the tentative lineup of guest speakers to be hosted by the Africana Studies Program this spring.

The enthusiasm behind these events is generated by Michael King, Associate Professor of Africana Studies, who is CQrrently organizing this semester's speakers.

VA considers 15% increase for Gl benefits Because of the rising cost of going to college, the Veterans Administration has been consiOering a 15%increase in monthly GI Bill benefits. Studies from the '80-'81 through '83-'84 school years show that there has been a 33.3 percent increase in tuition and living expenses at public institutions while the cost rose by about 37.9 percent at private colleges.

According to Dorothy Starbuck, VA benefits director, the VA thinks a 15 percent increase is justifiable but cautions that an increase has to be merged with a lot of other demands on VA programs. Starbuck testified before the House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Education, Training and Employment, which is considering legislation to increase rates for fiscal 1985.

Paul Egan, deputy director of the American Legion who also testified in favor of an increase, stated, "We fear that veterans are being forced to drop out of their training programs and therefore they are not able to achieve their educational goals- this defeats the basic purpose of the program."

More than 6.5 million Vietnam-era veterans have received training under the GI Bill, for which eligible veterans can claim benefits until Dec. 31,1989.

ed by Vista's first known Black resident, Henderson Bonner.

"Opportunities for Blacks in Business" will be facilitated by La Mont Burns, proprietorofLa Mont's Authentic Barbecue. He will describe how his business grew from a family barbecue recipe to three restaurants and a varied line of comestible items.

Other topics to be discussed are "Aging Among Blacks," "The Black Labor Movement," "People United to Save Humanity: Rev. Jesse Jackson," "Black Women in the Media," "Blacks in the American Political System," "Reggae: The Commercialization of the Rastafarian Culture," "African Art," "The Falasha Jews," "Equal Opportunities in the Navy," "The Islamic Religion in Traditional and Modern Africa," and "The Carribean".

For further information, contact the Africana Studies Department at 7441150, Ext. 2218.

Although there are only 16 performers in William Adams' theatre adaptation of''The Martian Chronicles", Ashbrook said the cast will portray more than 100 parts and characters.

"I myself play nine different parts, which is an example of the unusually stringent performance flexibility required of the cast by the theatre readaptation," he explained, adding that there will be numerous costume changes by the cast throughout the entire length of the performance. as a result.

The cast includes Ashbrook, David Babicky, Frederic Brandt, Sheila Browder, Duane Daniels, John Douglas, Dennis Dubis, Tom Erickson, Claudia Keithley, Corky Lang, Charmayne Lauritzen, Christopher Lowery, Kevin Mann, and Pat Olafson. Child cast members are Jason Anthony and Chris and Shawnna Lynch. Stand-in members are Ed Siebert and Suzanne Stark.

Ashbrook said the production, because it is a world premiere, "will come under close scrutiny by many people who are associated with major Hollywood productions. There are a lot of people who will be watching us closely from opening night to our final performance."

That fmal performance is the production's April 7 "Gala Night" that will feature a fish and chips dinner with one cocktail or soft drink before the performance, reserved seats, and a post-performance forum with "Martian Chronicles" author Ray Bradbury, director William Adams, and the cast.

Tickets for "Gala Night" are $12 and $6 for those attending the performance and forum only. Tickets for all performances, with the exception of closing night, are $5 for students and senior citizens and $6 for general admission.

Binging, purging create empty lives Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part series dealing with the eating disorder bulimia affecting thousands of young women. The name of the woman interviewed has been changed to protect her identity.

To acquaintances and strangers, J ean seems normal, almost perfect.

She is pretty and thin; she seems happy, outgoing and industrious; and her life seems balanced between home and work.

Since she was 15 years old, Jean's life has been centered around food, eating

"So then I started seeing a psychologist about my eating habits and my marriage. At that time no one had ever heard of the word bulimic. I went to him for about two years. I began to feel better about myself but not my marriage. We ended in divorce.

She lives for the times when she can gorge herself on meals that could feed an army.

Why does she do it? J ean says, "It is a habit I can't shake and am afraid to give up because I fear being fat. I look at myself in the mirror and see myself as ugly and fat. I get so frustrated and then scared that I'll turn out fat like my mom . The anxiety I feel is overwhelming, and I vent it out in eating and vomiting.

"After I vomit I feel much better. I won't think about food for a couple of hours or so. But then when the first thought of eating creeps into my brain, it nags at me until I eat and vomit. This

"What is ironic is that I started hinging and purging to stay slim, thinking I was beautiful, and then later turned it into an escape for loneliness, becoming the ugliest part of my life.

"What's really strange about how I became this way was that it was some simple twist of fate . When I was 15 I was about five pounds overweight, or so I felt. My mother used to worry about me eating too much . She was afraid of me getting fat. I think she was so worried about me because she's had

"I know it drives my husband crazy and he seems to be growing away from me. The other day he asked why I ate by myself all the time. I didn't know what to say to him then, but after thinking about it I realized I don't like to have people seeing me eat like this. I don't even like myself like this. I suppose that's why I'm always reading or watching television when I eat.

a weight problem almost all her life.

She's been through all kinds of dietsfrom pills to Weight Watchers. Perhaps it was her nagging at me all the time that made me so conscious of my body.

"So I went on a diet, restricting my intake of food to 900 calories a day or less. I lost weight, about 10 pounds in two months. But I became scared to gain it back, so I kept on dieting. I r emember my dad praising me for my will power. I hated to disappoint him by losing that "will power." I almost stopped eating, and when I did eat I felt guilty.

"When I am at home, I feel less control over my eating habits. On the weekends I'll eat breakfast for three hours eating eight eggs, quart of juice, six pieces of toast and lots of other things to keep on munching."

"When I was in my early twenties I used to feel really guilty for eating and people used to tease me when I ate six large h elpings of food at a single meal.

But my desire or compulsion to eat was so overwhelming that, to avoid people watching me, I'd hide or sneak food . I'd do things like wash the dishes just so I could keep eating when no one was loo king.

"D uring my early twenties when I was married to my first husband, I kept my eating trip to myself. My husband was totally ignorant (about my eating) for the first two years we were together. Then one day I broke down

''Then one day a so-called friend suggested that I throw-up my food. I remember that day so vividly. It was during school vacation and my girlfriend and I each bought a pint of rocky road ice cream. I ate the whole thing, adding up the calories- 1,000.

This surpassed my daily quota and I felt really guilty. So s he suggested I throw it up. I tried, but not much came up and it was a strain.

"After that fatefu l day, food became an obsession. I'd eat and try to throw up. Gradually it became easier. I lost more weight. Within a few months I

"My second psychiatrist was a woman. The kind and gentle type who I wouldn't have minded for a mother.

Our sessions were more like tea-time. I never got any of my problems resolved since she ended up going to Europe on an extended vacation.

"Eating was the center of my life by that time. I had no friends and h id myself from boys and the things most 18 year olds do. I tried to involve myself with other activities such as gardening, modeling school and p laying the guitar. But I could never devote myself totally to those things because I spent most of my time eating. I fe lt insecure without food. Everywhere I went, whether it was a bicycle trip to La Jolla or a bus ride to San Diego, I had to have something to munch on.

"As I look back on those days compared to now I feel more controlled. I don't isolate myself so much and I'm able to eat at regular hours rather than all day long. But I know I still hurt myself and my family because sometimes I isolate myself from them, especially at home. When I'm at home, I feel less control over my eating habits. On the weekends I'll eat breakfast for three hours eating eight eggs, quart of juice, six pieces of toast and lots of other things to keep on munching. The same for lunch and dinner.

and they didn't. So I ate and ate and ate. I felt I could never give up eating because it seemed my only outlet to keep my mind off being lonely.

I'm embarrassed to admit to anyone that I do this, but then I've read people die from it and it scares me." pattern used to be much worse when I was younger and had no outlets outside the home. With work I've learned to control my eating habits somewhat.

But now I can eat out and hold it in without feeling like I'm going to get fat. had lost over 30 pounds. None of my clothes fit and my parents were very worried about me. They thought I had some chronic illness. I went to the doctors and they said I had a hypothyroid problem and prescribed pills to counteract it. The only result was that my hair fell out. Eventually my hair grew out, but it was agonizing going through my high school years with a mohawk.

"My parents sent me to a psychologist to figure out what was wrong. I ended up taking a bunch of IQ tests that revealed I was intelligent.

"Other than that I spent the rest of my teenage years hinging and vomiting, with my mother always on my case to stay out of the refrigerator.

"When I graduated from high school my parents made me go to UCLA Medical Center for evaluation. While there I met a girl who was an anorexic. She looked like a skeleton, weighing only 82 pounds. She told me that before she

went into the hospital she only ate one chocolate a day to keep alive. We became very good friends while I was there. I'd never met anyone with a food problem before. I thought I was the only one on earth.

HEALTHFUL HINTS Measles outbreaks among college students have been occuring in alarming numbers during the past few years.

This is a disease that is totally preventable by immunization.

How can this be possible? Through neglect, or just ordinary circumstances, many college-age students have missed these immunizations as they were not available to them in early childhood.

Public Health is providing the immunological materials, and measles, mumps, and rubella immunizations, plus diphtheria and tetanus boosters are available upon your request in Student Health Services.

Public Health experts recommend immunization for all who did not have a laboratory documented case (very easy to misdiagnose) or documentation of previous immunization.

Why ris k being sick, missing school and / or work, and exposing others un necessarily? Student Health Services is open throughout the day.

Lipread t u toring is being offered for all deaf and hearing impaired students.

The service is available for all hearing-handicapped students interested in communicating with others, especially those who don't know sign language. "The ability to read lips is invaluable," said tutor Gerry Keele.

"Lip reading is not an easily learned skill, and practice and patience are needed, but everyone can benefit from training and everyone does learn," Keele added.

Women Netters

Baseballers blast conference rivals

Sweep 3

By Bob Cameron After sweeping three opponents with the loss of only one set, the women's tennis team hosts Glendale Community College of Arizona here today at 2 p.m.

The locals have posted shutouts against Grossmont and Southwestern 9-0, and whipped San Diego City College 8-1.

Next week it will be back to conference play as the Comets go crosstown to face rival MiraCosta Tuesday and then play host Thursday to Southwestern. Both matches begin at 2 p .m.

On February 28 Palomar trounced their first league opponent Southwestern losing only 22 games in 18 sets.

"We overpowered them," said coach Haugen. "There is really not much more to say. I was happy to see our No. 1 doubles, MaryAnn Hodges and Loretta Pevey begin to gel. They're really playing like a team now."

The locals whipped SDCC March 6 at SDCC 8-1.

'That was an unusual match," said Haugen. "The players for SDCC were for the most part recruited from the country clubs. The average age must have been in the 50's."

"We had the stamina and the skills in singles play. They had years of experience. They were tough."

The Comets were led by No. 1 singles Hodges who for the second match in a row dispatched her opponent, 6-0, 6-1 .

Their only loss came at No.2 doubles where the greater experience paid off for SDCC, said Haugen.

Haugen was slightly apprehensive about Palomar's first home match with Grosssmont March 8. When they arrived with only four players (automatically forfeiting three points), she was disappointed.

"Grossmont has always been tough.

Last year they had an exceptional team and I assumed that they would be good again this year."

"I was disappointed. I thought it would be a close match. It just goes to show what one year can do to a program."

Already ahead 3-0 before play began, the Comets went on to sweep singles and doubles to post their second league shutout.

Haugen praised Hodges who whipped her opponent 6-3, 6-1.

"Last year MaryAnn lost to that girl two out of three matches. This year wasn't even close, MaryAnn has improved that much.

"Another tremendously improved player is No.4 Julie Anderson. She has been coming along all year and is tough at that spot."

Anderson took her match 6-2, 6-2.

Other scores were: No.2 Pevey 6-3, 6-0 and No. 3 Kathleen Lievers 6-1, 6-2.

Both doubles teams Hodges/ Pevey and Lievers/Kate Leahy scored 6-0, 61 victories.

"It's been an excellent week," said baseball head coach Bob Vetter, looking back on the March sixth and eighth victories over San Diego City College and Grossmont, respectively.

"It's the first time in a long time we've won our home conference opener. It feels good to be 2-0," said Vetter.

In their conference opener, Vetter's troops drubbed San Diego City, 9-6, behind the strong pitching performance of freshman left-hander Todd Poelstra.

It was the Comets' fourth win in as many games, bringing the Palomar squad to a 5-3 overall record and securing them a 1-0 win/loss mark in the Pacific Coast Conference.

Lack of experience haunts women cagers

By Chris Reynolds "Our main objective is to stay healthy; the rest will follow," says women's basketball coach Judy Mazzarella as she reviews her roster.

The team has already lost two players to injury this season. Freshman forward Randi Williams was incapacitated with leg and feet injuries and freshman guard Marsha Kaminski was lost to knee surgery. Meanwhile, Palomar has dropped three games by large margins and was forced to forfeit three others.

Even with the team's current problems, Mazzarella has taken heart.

'We have a good group of people.

They never give up, and because of lack of depth on the bench, they have to be disciplined enough not to foul out and they're doing it."

Mazzarella sees the main priority of the team as offense.

"Our defense is good. We held Grossmont to 4 7 points. They had scored 61 points against Saddleback, which is a good strong team. The problem we're having is with the offense. We turn the ball over a lot, because we end up throwing it away when we pass.

"We have a problem fmding the open person. Then if we do get it to the open person, we don't shoot well and we don't rebound offensively. We don't seem to generate much offense. I haven't found the right formula yet."

Inexperience may be a contributing factor to the team's lack of offensive strength.

"The thing to stress is that we have all new players," says Mazzarella. The seven member squad is all freshmen, except for sophomore center Debbie Dahmer who is the only returner. In addition, three of the players - forward Laurie Darnold, forward Rebecca Johnson and guard Felicia Rouse -

have no high school basketball experience.

'We have some good athletes. Becky Johnson has a background in track, so she is a good athlete. We just need to refme her talents, but she's learning the basic techniques. Laurie Darnold exemplifies the team player. She has played with an injured thigh, but always gives us 100 percent, not for herself, but for the team. Kaminski is really good. She came out of Poway, where they have a championship program and a good coach. What a difference she would have made."

Mazzarella emphasized the need for good high school experience.

"Most high school (female) basketball players are sophomores and juniors, by the time they become seniors they lose interest. You have to have a championship caliber program and a good coach to keep them interested. In addition to that, they have to have a positive experience from the sport. In the other words, they had to get along with team players and enjoy themselves. They had to have fun. Fallbrook, Poway and some other schools have good programs, but you also have to realize, basketball is hard work. You have to sweat a lot. You have to run a lot. Some girls don't want to go through all that."

"I accept full responsibility for our current position," says Mazzarella.

"I made some recruiting mistakes. I asked for the names of seniors and called them and sent them letters, but you need to concentrate on the sophomores. You have to urge them to stick with basketball and show them the benefits of staying with it and the advantages ofyourprogram. You have to get there early and plant the idea in their minds and get them thinking about going to Palomar."

Palomar hosts French athletes "Parlez-vous Francais?"

Escondido residents and Palomar students may need French interpreters this summer. On January 18, Escondido Mayor James Rady and French Olympic Attache Bernard Cartier joined in announcing that the French Judo team will be training at the Escondido Athletic Club from July 26-August 2.

Cartier further stated that pol~ vaulters and long distance runners of the French track and field team are considering using Palomar facilities to train before moving on to Los Angeles to compete in the Summer Olympic Games. ''The French have chosen Escondido as a pre-Olympic training site because I recommended the community as a quiet but appropriate place," says

Cartier. "Escondido has much to oner our athletes - good climate, proximity to Los Angeles, and interesting places to visit in free time. Yet it is also far enough away from the congestion of a major city. ''The Escondido Visitor Information Bureau has been most encouraging in promoting the town as a desirable site for the French teams' pre-Olympic acclimatization."

The judo team will consist of eight athletes, two trainers, a physician and a masseur.

The Escondido Athletic Club's owner Tom Murphy donated use of the club's facilities because he is interested in promoting community enjoyment of sports and physical fitness. Murphy also hopes to work out a timetable with the French judo team so that 'We

may invite the community to watch judo demonstrations."

According to visitor information bureau president C. David Penner, the bureau has been working with Cartier for several months, planning the details of the two teams' stay.

The game was close until the sixth inning when the locals exploded for seven runs to take a commanding 9-3 lead. City's all-conference hurler, Steve Mills, dug a hole for himself in the inning by walking four of the six batters he faced, before being relieved by Eric Schladch.

Schladch fared no better as Comet third baseman Deron Johnson welcomed the pitcher by ripping a fastball over the 320 foot si~n in right field.

Johnson's first home run of the season added two more runs to the Comet 7-3 edge, which came after Steve Fields short-hopped the left field fence with the bases loaded to score three runs.

In their next outing, the locals showed their power as they banged out 17 hits on their way to a 17-4 rout over PCC rival Grossmont college at Myers

Although the judo team's stay has been set, the July 26-August 2 accomodation for the pole vaulters and long distance runners is still tenative.

Johnson led the Comet batting attack against the Griffms, as he went three for four, driving in five runs.

Right-fielder Bobby Perry knocked in three by going three for four with a double and a triple.

Along with the fme offensive showing, the Comets also received an impressive pitching performance from sophomore right-hander Darren Balsley to gain their fifth consecutive victory.

Through five complete innings, the former Mt. Carmel hurler gave up four runs on seven hits while striking out four.

The only bright spot for the Griffms was a pair of home runs by rightfielder Van Evens to drive in all four of Grossmont's runs.

After taking over the pitching chores in the sixth inning Scott Ashworth fanned eight Griffms through four to get the save.

Additional Comet offense was added by shortstop Opie Moran, who went three for four and scored four times.

Left-fielder Steve Fields also crossed the plate four times, while centerfielder Tim Skomal scored three times.

"Offensively, we looked really strong in both games and against Grossmont we had our best defensive game. (In the Grossmont contest) We had good strong pitching and we didn't commit any errors," said Vetter.
