HOT STUFF - ASG president Leonard Flagg concocts hot chili in a "practice run" for the ASG's first annual chili cook-off May 10. The cook-off will be judged by North County celebrities. ( Pho to by Larry Meye r )

Mayfair festivities create carnival atmosphere By Melanie Anderson Dunking booths, games, food and shows will give the campus a carnival atmosphere next week as the Associated Student Government's annual Mayfair begins Tuesday. The Mayfair calendar of activities is as follows: On Tuesday various clubs will be competing against each other in numerous games. The competitions will take place in the center of the booth area and is open to the public. At 10:30 a.m. a breakdancing contest will be held in the Student Union. Cash prizes will be awarded At 12 noon a talent show, organized by ASG members, will be presented in the Student Union. On Wednesday at 10:30 a.m . a local band will be playing by the clock tower. Also at 12 noon there will be a fashion show, featuring several student models, which will be held in the

Student Union. Following the show, "Dr. Rock," alias Anthony Brown, will be spinning records in the patio area for dancing. The first annual Chili-Cook Off begins Thursday at 8 a.m. Four prizes of $250, $125, $75, and $50 will be given the winning participants. Among the judges are Del Mar Fair's Don Diego and Palomar president Dr. Omar Scheidt. From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday Ron Beus' Country Western Band will be appearing underneath the clock tower. Lowery hopes that students will come to school dressed in hats, boots, scarves and jeans for the Western theme. The Mayfair booths, featuring approximately 15 campus departments, will be located in the grassy area near the old library. Cokes, hotdogs, ice cream and baked goods will be sold, as well as other vendor items.

In a series of allegations disputing the validity of last month's Associated Student Government (ASG) elections, political science student Mark Higgins has charged that ASG officials and candidates violated election rules and statutes. Higgins, who filed a formal complaint listing the alleged improprieties to ASG chief judicial advocate JC Lowery April 24, cited four specific violations that he claims occurred during the elections. "The Palomar Student Body election of9-12 April, 1984 should be declared null and void because of the following discrepancies," Higgins wrote in his complaint. Included are allegations of electioneering in locations previously declared off-limits and improper filing of candidates' financial statements. He also accused presidential candidate Kevin Farrow of displaying improper conduct when Farrow was informed that he was in violation of election rules. Specifically, Higgins claims that Farrow illegally displayed campaign materials within the Student Union, an area which was outside permitted campaign boundaries. "When Kevin was told by a Judicial Advocate that he was violating election rules," Farrow allegedly replied, '"Go ahead - report me!'" Higgins said. Higgins subsequently flied a formal complaint April 24. Another key factor in the dispute is Higgins' contention that Lowery exceeded his authority as Judicial Advocate when he changed the deadline regarding the filing of candidate fmancial statements. "He doesn't have the constitutional power to change the rules," Higgins said. Lowery contradicted Higgins' assertion, saying instead that, "As a Judicial Advocate I do have the power to alter some of the rules in the election code if the rules do not pertain to the present election." Lowery adds that the changes he made were authorized by the Election Committee. "We abided by 95% of the code book's rules." According to Lowery, the question regarding the financial statement deadline involved Farrow, the only candidate to spend money during the campaign. He added that Farrow did submit his financial statement prior to the April 23 deadline. However, the authorized changes Lowery did make consisted of adding a "natural barrier(the Student Union gazebo) to the election boundaries" as well as opening the ballot booths.onehalf hour later than what the code book had dictated.

In this instance, Lowery says the allegations will come before the Election Committee in an open hearing. "The Election Committee will decide if the charges filed are of significant magnitude to warrant a disqualification."

Trustees • rev1evv new budget By Polly Filanc Despite foreboding enrollment losses, Palomar's board of trustees are looking at a $24.5 million budget for next year, which includes first-time ever tuition for community colleges. ''The 1984-85 budget is basically a subsistence level proposal, " warned business manager David Scott at the P_pril10 governing board meeting. The proposed budget projects an unrestricted income of $21.7 million, which is about $200,000 more than the current base. Another budget, to be presented sometime this month, is .. estimated to be $3 to $4 million for restricted funds. Restricted funds, which include state funds, federal grants and private grants, are limited to specific accounts. Next year's budget also includes a three percent raise for campus employees- certificated and classified. Board president Leon Baradat pointed out that the proposed salary increase actually amounts to a one percent decrease in terms of overall pay that staff members received this year. In February, the staff was given a one-time four percent bonus, but the salary schedule remained the same. The proposed raise, Scott said, will not provide the same yearly compensation staff members got this year. The bonus was granted after the California legislature restored $96.6 million to community colleges, following a lengthy stalemate between Governor George Deukmejian, who wanted tuition, and assembly Democrats, who didn't. As a result, the governing board restored employee salaries and benefits. But starting this fall, all community college students around the state will pay a maximum of $50 a semester for six or more units. Those on the quarterly system will pay a maximum of $34. Part-time students will pay $5 per unit. The college will collect about $1 million in tuition (which is now referred to as community college enrollment (Continued on page 2)

Staffers debate board goals, objectives By Polly Filanc Little did the board of trustees realize that when they adopted the "collegial model" last January the impact it could have in creating goals and objectives for the board. The collegial model, which encourages collective input into the college's governance, was put to the test at the April 10 governing board meeting as 22 areas of the campus reponded, in writing and verbally, to the board's proposed goals and objectives. Trustee Mary Trotta said she was very happy that (the board's) document had brought about such response. ''This is the kind of exchange that we were trying to achieve." Originally drafted by trustee Bar-

bara Hughes last February, the proposed document has grown from seven goals and seven objectives to eight and 20, respectively. During the lengthy item-by-item discussion of the document, questions were raised over the financial feasibility of some of the goals; interpretation of specific words and additions; whether some goals were already being implemented; and if these were the goals of the board or of the college. Hughes, in a telephone interview, said that these are "short-term" goals which were set up to help her and the board "focus in on what we will be doing for the next year- to be evaluated about every six months." These goals and objectives, she added, are needed "to give Palomar, as an

institution, some specific direction to move throughout the next year." Hughes pointed out that these are not the "goals and philosophies of the college . .. but they are for the administration to implement, not the board. That's not our job." The board has encouraged campus input, Hughes said, because "The administration's implementation of the goals and objectives would have an impact on the entire college." The current proposed document, she said, will probably be changed as the various areas of campus "wanted more chance for input, especially the certificated." Opening the discussion , the faculty senate, which basically supports the board's document, presented some

changes, but mainly with additions and specific words used. Trustee Alan Krichman questioned the financial feasibility of some of the goals. "We shouldn't set the kind of goal that is impossible. We should put a dollar value on most of these goals and say, 'Do we have the money to do it?' We should make the task attainable." The goal, ''To improve the quality of student achievement," was identified by many as "the most expensive goal." This goal deals with mandated assessment, counseling and placement of students. Addressing this goal, John Erickson , EOPS director, agreed that this goal would be "costly,"yet it could be "effective if we use it as a tool to help stu -

dents achieve their maximum potential." But, he also felt that this goal could have "a negative impact" on enrollments and would "close the opendoor policy on students who have not had the advantage of a superior high school education." Many campus areas felt that the board's goals and objectives needed to be discussed further. Erickson, Mary Breen, Gerontology coordinator, and Jose Rangel, acting director of Financial Aids, voiced objections to the "haste" in which the goals and objectives were being considered. Others felt that some of the goals were redundant or were already being implemented in their programs. (Continued on page 2)

COMMUNITY COLLEGE WEEK

Campus, city join forces By Melanie Anderson To focus statewide attention on communitycolleges, the city of San Marcos and Palomar will be participating in Community College Week, May 6-12. "Similiar Yet Unique" is the theme for this year's Community College Week, and in accordance with past Weeks, Palomar will participate in the event with various activities. 'The theme is appropriate," says Bernice Hart, Public Information, "because all community colleges offer the same type of transfer services. They also develop their own unique type of programs that answer to the needs of the community." On Sunday, May 6, Palomar begins its community involvement activities with a Community Orchestra Concert, featuring Peter Gach at 3 p .m.

the Student Union. "Invasion of the Solar System" will be presented in the Planetarium at 7 p.m. The Pink Elephant Sale continues the Community College Week on Thursday and will run until Friday. Sponsored by the Patrons, the sale will take place in the College Dome from 8 a.m. until8 p.m. Thursday, and from 8 a.m. until 2 p .m . Friday. Plants , baked goods, books, clothes, and furnishings will be some of the items on sale. Also on Thursday the Mayfair will continue with a Chili Cook-Off beginning at noon . Palomar's involvement with Community College Week will hopefully succeed in bringing more public and statewide attention to the campus as well as to generating more funds, according to Hart.

On Tuesday, May 8, the Mayfair begins at 10 a.m. and runs until3 p.m. The day of activities will take place in the Student Union, and will highlight a talent show at noon.

'There is a defmite lack of understanding on the importance of community colleges, which is reflected by the amount of money that we receive. All the money that we get is from the state level."

The Mayfair continues on Wednesday and includes a Concert Hour with an "organ recital" at 11 p .m. in D-5. A fashion show will be held at noon in

The Community College Weekend, originally scheduled for May 4-5, has been cancelled due to a lack of time. "Actually," Hart says, "it never really

got off the ground. It was in the thoughtprocess stage, but we hope to have even better cooperation between San Marcos and the college in the future.'

Goals debated (Continued from page 1)

Hughes said she realized that "A lot of the programs are already implementing these goals." The goals under discussion include: maximizing average daily attendance to ensure a constant funding level; improving communication between the college and state legislators; improving the quality of student achievement; maintaining constant academic quality of education ; further involving the community served in college planning; improving campus staff morale and level of achievement recognition; preparing for sudden change in economic funding; and enhancing the quality- of teaching and all related services rendered by employees. Even though the proposed goals and objectives were on the agenda for action, the document was t abled to allow further discussion. The goals and objectives are scheduled for adoption May8.

Proposed budget reviewed (Continued from page 1)

fee) . But, $300,000 of this money will replace some of the fees that community colleges can no longer assess. Those fees include health services and instructional materials. Because of deficit spending, next year's beginning balance of$720,000 is down from the $1.2 million at the start of the current year. Even though financial d eliberations for 1984-85 are devoid of the desperation that marked the 1983-84 sessions, administrators are still facing enrollment losses which must be made up by March 1985 in order to receive the full 1982-83 funding level. According to recent figures, the average daily attendance level this year is 5.4 percent below the allotted 1982-83 CAP level. CAP is the maximun amount of money the state will pay for attendance.

Under the recent funding agreement, community colleges who fell short of CAP this year will be allowed to grow to CAP next year. In the past, community college funding was based on the previous year's ADA. The 198283 ADA equalled 10,283, which is so far 566 over the current year. Initial budget projections for next year show a $500,000 reserve $150,000 down from the present level. At the height of this year's financial crisis, Palomar's reserve dipped to $350,000 to help offset the college's $1.3 million deficit. The 1984-85 budget proposal also restored salary schedules, matrix movement and leave of absence money. This initial budget, still subject to change, was presented for information only. A "preliminary budget" will be adopted by the board in June. A fmal budget will come before the board in September.

LETI'ERS TO EDITOR Dear Editor: The Palomar Student Body election of 9-12 April 1984 should be declared null and void because of the following discrepancieswhich took place: 1. Electioneering in places declared off-limits during candidates meeting. 2. Candidates not filing financial statements as required by Article 2, Section 3 of the election code. 3. Candidate not being allowed to file financial statement when she attempted to do so. 4. When candidate for President of Student Body was told he was violating election rules by Judge Advocate he replied in an arrogant manner,"Go ahead- report me!" Mark R. Higgins

Baseballers' streak ends By Chris Reynolds "I don't know what a pitcher has to do to win a game," said baseball head coach Bob Vetter. "Steve (Kovensky) was just outstanding and we got ten hits. They didn't beat us. We gave them the game." The Comets' loss came after six errors were turned into six unearned runs and Southwestern took an 11 inning, 6-5 win on Myers field last Saturday. The team will try to get back on track as they travel to Grossmont tomorrow for a 1 p .m. contest. Palomar led early in the Southwestern game, 2-0, until the defense gave up three unearned runs in the sixth. The locals tied the score in the bottom of the inning, but two more unearned runs in the seventh put the Apaches back on top 5-3. In the ninth the Comets battled back when, with the bases loaded, Ray Plantier delivered a sacrifice fly to score Opie Moran. Steve Fields scored from second when the Apache shortstop mishandled a Randy Davila ground ball.

Back on March 17, Kolb was the pitcher who ended a Comet seven game winning streak. This time he ended a four game roll. Despite the fact that he was the losing pitcher, Kovensky (5-2) dropped his ERA from 3.13 to 2.56 on the way to the loss. "Steve pitched a great game," said Vetter. "He pitched well enough to win and should have won." Before the loss, the Comets had strung together a 10-2 rout over Saddleback and wins over MiraCosta, Grossmont and San Diego City, in addition to winning the consolation crown in the College of the Desert's Easter tournament in Palm Springs. The third place Comets are now

three games back of conference leading San Diego Mesa and one game behind second place Saddle back. With a 10-7 league record and a 16-11 overall mark, coach Vetter said it would be difficult to capture frrst, "considering how well Mesa is playing." Although he has not surrendered his hope for a frrst place finish , Vetter feels more certain of a second place fmish and a spot in the conference play-offs. The top four teams are taken from each league and although the season finale against San Diego Mesa may not be for all the marbles, it could be a pivotal game heading toward the playoffs.

Experience Is The Best Teacher

The Apaches won the decision in extra innings on two errors and a double. It was the second time Southwestern hurler Jonathan Kolb has been on the mound when a Comet winning streak was snapped.
