Food Bank continues aid to hungry students

By Michelle Flores It's at that time of the year when visions of turkey drumsticks, mashed potatoes smothered in gravy, and cranberrysauce dance in our heads. Until a year ago, for a seemingly invisible but surprisingly high number of students, Thanksgiving dinner would have consisted of little more than peanut butter sandwiches. For some students, this dismal picture exists no longer, thanks to the Food Bank November marks the one year anniversary of the Food Bank, located in R-21A. Run by the ASB, the program has successfully answered a direct need on campus - that of the fulltime student with little or no income, perhaps on food stamps, often a single parent with two children, who is trying to make it but is going hungry in the process.

By now, everyone is familiar with the incident that started it all. On the last day of his 1983 summer diesel technology class, ASB legislator Bob Klug witnessed two classmates devour two packages of hot dog buns left over from the class picnic, held the day before.

"If those guys hadn't eaten those hot dog buns right on the spot, the thought never would have crossed my mind (that students were going hungry)," says Klug.

He teamed up with fellow student and tutor Carol Hanley, while former ASB president Leonard Flagg contacted Dean Norman Price. According to Klug, "We went to Dean Price and said, 'We're aware of this problem.' He gave us all the support we needed and a lot of good ideas. He was just super."

To start the Bank, ASB presented their cause to community service clubs and met with some success, netting about $1,200 in cash donations in two months. However, the program really gained momentum as a result of publicity generated by news reports on local radio stations. Channel 10, The Tribune, and the LA Times also featured articles on the project.

On October 24 Klug, also known as "Diesel Bob" (which could have something to do with the blue cap he wears that has the word "Diesel" patched

upon it), left on one of his monthly shopping trips.

In a borrowed Palomar van, he headed to the Canned Food Store in Oceanside. On the way, Klug talked about recent happenings at the Bank Criteria for elegibility to receive food has remained unchanged since the beginning of the program. Each person is referred to the Bank by any of the following departments: EOPS, Financial Aids, Student Help Center, Women's Center, or the Counseling Center.

Full-time students or single parents with nine or more units may claim one food item for each unit of coursework they are carrying. In addition, single parents may receive three more units of food for each child they support.

"I tell every recipient, if you need food please see me. If you don't, please don't. And you'd be surprised how honest everyone is."

Arriving at the Canned Food Store, he realized that in his haste, he had forgotten the ASB purchase order that

makes it possible for him to buy over $200 worth of non-perishable goods.

Klug doesn't sweat it. He sweet-talks the store manager into letting him buy on credit, promising to have the purchase order in the next day.

"By the way," Klug adds, "can I get that spiffy little cart that I got last time?"

After briefly checking the "Specials" board to see what is on sale, Klug gets down to the serious business of buying food. In the first aisle, he selects cases of canned string beans, corn, and carrots. Canned asparagus tips are briefly considered, but are exchanged in favor of less expensive lima beans.

Klug is no luxury shopper. He is always aware that he must get the most amount of nutritious food for the least amount of money.

"I try to keep my average student in mind when I buy, a 29-year-old single parent with two kids."

Fruit cocktail, sliced pineapple, and Top Ramen-stylesoup are added to his "shopping cart," actually, a dolly.

food stamps."

Most students he sees only once.

"Most people come in and only select a few things to get them through the end of the month until they get paid.

"The way I make my decision (on who receives food) is asking myself, 'Would the people who donated this money want me to give food to this person?' Invariably, the answer is yes."

Although presented with the ASB's 1984 Recognition of Exceptional Leadership award, Klugnevertheless maintains that just knowing if it hadn't been for his efforts, someone would have gone hungry is the prime motivation for his continuing involvement in the project.

He cites a particularly rewarding experience: "One mother about 26 years old would take a bus to get her kids to a babysitter. Then she would take a bus to school, where she was carrying 17 or 18 units. After classes she worked until8 p.m. All to get off welfare, to get an education.

"Well, she graduated and got an entry level job. Since she was a couple of dollars ahead that month, she wanted to give something back to the Bank I told her to keep the money until she was fmancially stable, but she replied, 'You helped me when I needed it. I know where these two dollars are going.'" (continued on page 3)

Specialty shows spin on KSM 99 "We are college radio! We will be as current and diverse as possible!" says music director Sean O'Neil.

"We are not a punk/ funk / new wave/ psychedelic/ or-any-other-convenient-labled station."

Six different specialty shows are being offered by KSM 99: On Tuesdays from 3:30 to 7 p.m., Echo Chambers is the hostess for "Mohawks and Dread Locks." This is a mix of punk reggae and calypso.

Two jazz shows are offered. Progressive jazz, with "Wild Warren B." on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon, features music comparable to Jonn Abercrombie and Keith Jarrett. The Jane Morton Jazz show airs Wednesdays from 9 a.m. and noon and plays scores from Spyro Gyra, Tom Scott and other soft jazz composers.

From 7-11 p.m. Friday nights, Rocksy Stone plays host to Social Noise, spinning discs from groups like AN6ST, U.K., Subs, and The Cramps.

Hot cereal is the only food item that he buys without worrying about the price because "the kids need it."

Tuna fish and macaroni and cheese are also favorite food items, but most popular of all is peanut butter, which according to Klug, "beats tuna fish two-to-one."

At the checkout counter, the bill comes to $181.44, which surprises Klug, for his usual food bill runs an average of $220.

Last year, an anonymous Point Lorna couple donated twenty Thanksgiving turkeys. Klug hopes to receive another twenty this year.

"A little bit here, a little bit there," shrugs Klug. He also receives donations of women's and children's clothing.

Klug keeps precise records of all food transactions for his own protection, but stresses that his number one rule is that names of recipients be kept strictly confidential. "It's funny, but if I gave out $20 worth offood, the Welfare Department would then cut off $20 in

$500 AEE scholarships awarded; financial aid deadlines slated Engineering students Dana LeMoine, Paul Curtis and Timothy Shell have each been awarded $500 scholarships by the San Diego Chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) in a ceremony held at San Diego's Admiral Kidd Club on Harbor Drive October 18.

LeMoine and Curtis are recipients of the AEE sponsored George Parker Memorial Fund scholarships. Begun in 1982 in memory of the second president of the AEE, these scholarships are awarded on the basis of field of study, relationship to and interest in either energy engineering or energy conservation, grade-point average, course spectrum and extra-curricular activites.

Timothy Shell, winner of the 1983 George Parker award, has received a renewed scholarship from the AEE Foundation's National Fund. Shell is now a civil engineering student at SDSU. Applications are now being accepted at the Financial Aids Office for the following scholarJhips and grants:

National University is offering all certificated instructors one full-time and one half-time scholarship, worth $6,000 and $3,000 respectively.

Selection will be based among persons already having an A.A. degree, along with having demonstrated leadership and academic scholarship. The deadline for submitting applications is November 30.

Application deadline for the 1985 Vocational Grant Program is also November 30. This grant is open to any prospective student who plans to pursue a vocational or technical course above and supplemental to high school or preparatory school level; however a high school diploma is not required.

Provided by the Elks National Foundation , the grant will be in the amount of $1 ,000 per year to persons in a twoyear vocational program.

By Chris Reynolds Returning students may have noticed that they are no longer paying a $5 health fee this semester. Assembly bill ABl:XX eliminated that cost to students when tuition was instituted.

But the legislation also provided for a "maintenance of effort," making it mandatory for community colleges to continue the service for at least three years.

According to Director of Health Services Clarice Hankins, the purpose of Health Services is, "to benefit the health of the student," and the program has "a commitment to lessen attrition and absenteeism due to illness or psychological problems."

In Hankin's opinion, after the three years have passed, "No one knows what will happen, but I feel confident that the need is so great that it (the program) will continue."

She also said that indications from political contacts and the community seem to support that confident feeling.

Presently housed on the east side of the old library, Health Services is one of t he few services that is student oriented, student funded and geared specifically to their needs, according to Hankins.

"Health Services is a cost effective program for students (which means it pays for itself). They get their money's worth in one visit."

Although the fee has been eliminated, current funding for the project comes from tuition funneled through the general fund.

The variety of benefits to students seems extensive.

Seven different doctors devote their time to Health Services. ''We employ local doctors who enjoy working with students," says Hankins.

"We pay them a minimum standard, so they aren't doing it for the money. With seven doctors we can have specialists.

"They come in on their days off or on their free time and we stagger their time so we can make them more available to students."

The doctors see an average of 10 to 20 students daily.

A registered nurse is always in attendance, however, and the office is open while there are enough students on

campus to warrant it staying open.

The Health Services office caters to an average of 800 to 1,000 students per month and 10,000 per year.

Hankins was hard pressed to come up with one particular health problem that plagues students more than any other.

"We see such a variety, there isn't any one thing. There are short term psychological problems students encounter, because of stress due to working and attending school or because of family problems."

To deal with that dilemma, Palomar has a psychology intern program. Candidates for the psychologist's position are screened in conjunction with the Counseling Department. People with a Masters Degree or a Doctorate and experience receive supervision as they hold individual and group therapy sessions.

"Starting in December we'll be offering an eight hour program with group and individual counseling. We don't turn anyone away," said Hankins. "It's usually just short term counseling that they (the participants) can benefit from."

Accidents on campus are another area Hankins said bring students to Health Services.

"Serious injuries are far and few between," said Hankins.

But minor accidents do occur.

"Particularly sports injuries and those, and other accidents, are covered by student insurance. ''We do have some epileptic students on campus also, and if they have a seizure we go to their aid," said Hankins.

Being more mobile and being able to respond to the needs of students across campus became a reality when the Health Center received a motorized cart that enables the staff to function more effectively in those situations. Previously, they had shared one with the Handicapped Services, but in August, Health Services received their own.

The third area that Hankins sees most students about is acute short term illness: colds, earaches, bladder infections and the like. (continued on page 6)

Thanksgiving traditions, festivals are remembered

By Cyndie Claypool Savory turkey, luscious pumpkin pie, aromas that come from a busy kitchen and pleasant hours with family and friends are associated with the Thanksgiving holiday.

Setting aside a day for giving thanks has been a tradition since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620. However, it didn't become a national holiday until1941.

Governor William Bradley decreed the first Thanksgiving feast in 1621, to give thanks to God, after a flourishing harvest with the aid of the Wampanoag Indians.

Squanto, one of the American Indians, had surprised the Pilgrims by greeting them in English.

He had been a slave in England and escaped back to his home land. Because of this, he had learned to speak English and became the mediator between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe.

Squanto and Samoset, another tribesman, introduced the strangers to chief Massasoit who helped the Englishmen adapt to their new surroundings.

According to tradition, the first Thanksgiving dinner, which lasted three days, featured the neighboring Indians contributing turkey, venison (deer meat), pumpkin, maple syrup, corn bread, and wild berries.

For instance, many school books teach that the Wampanoags represented all of the American Indians, although they did not.

The tribe name is often deleted from the information, concluding that all Indians are of the same mind. Other tribes may not have befriended the strangers, though.

Crouthamel and Dixon also mentioned that, contrary to many false tales, those Indians did not live in tepees or wear feather head dresses and small loin cloth coverings. They were an agricultural tribe and had to survive through cold eastern winters.

symbolizes, to some Indians, the permanancy of the colonists stay.

Nowadays, most Indians celebrate the holiday like everyone else with family reunions and the universal concept of giving thanks, according to Dixon.

"An extreme exception are those Indians who mourn for three days or just don't practice Thanksgiving because of the demise of the tribe," she added.

Dixon went on to explain that the day we celebrate does not actually have anything to do with the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock.

The November holiday is really "akin to the first harvest, vacation, family and good food ."

The date and said purpose for setting aside time to give thanks vacillated for three centuries before it became what it is today.

During the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress slated a couple of days for that purpose.

In 1789, President George Washington called for a time of thanks after the adoption of the Constitution.

Such occasions as these were special, yet some people felt that an annual day centering around the church and family was in order.

In the 1800's, Sarah J.B. Hale was the main campaigner for a national Thanksgiving day.

She urged that the last Thursday of November be the set date.

By 1859, 30 states had begun to practice this optimistic kind of day.

October 3, 1863 featured President Abraham Lincoln's proclamation that the last Thursday in November would be "a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficient Father."

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1939, proclaimed November 23 for that purpose.

The following two years saw the day of thanks on the third Thursday in November.

Finally, in 1941 Congress adopted a resolution setting the date annually on the fourth Thursday in November.

Only 43 years have passed since a day dedicated to giving thanks and concentrating on what there is to be grateful for became a set holiday in the USA. The tradition, however, came in with the very first optimist.

No matter what the history of Thanksgiving tags with it, it is still a holiday with a universal concept.

Crouthamel added that peaceful relationships between the Pilgrims and Wampanoags were based upon necessity. Each benefitted from the other.

Maybe we should all take time from our busy schedules, and, instead of dwelling on the luscious food we're about to consume, concentrate on what there really is to be grateful for.

After the second festival in 1623, relationships between the two began to break down.

According to the instructors, Thanksgiving

Take a moment to tell someone (perhaps the cook) "thanks" for all they've added to your life.

The colony men supplied the geese, ducks and fish, while the women prepared journey cake, nut bread and succotash.

The second feast of this nature was held on July 30, 1623.

According to Steve Crouthamel, American Indian Studies chairperson, and AIS instructor Patricia Dixon, many false stories are connected with the first Thanksgiving feast.

~curse

of the Prophet'

Will Reagan fall victim?

By Chris Reynolds "The Curse of the Prophet" ... "The Indians' Revenge" . . . "The Zero Factor".

Seven U.S. Presidents have apparently fallen victim to it.

William Henry Harrison, elected in 1840; Abraham Lincoln, elected in 1860; James Garfield, elected in 1880; William McKinley, 1900; Warren Harding, 1920; Franklin Delano Roosevelt,1940; and John F. Kennedy, 1960.

All of these former Presidents have died while still in office after being elected in a year whose last digit was zero.

A relatively few number of people know the origins of this seemingly lethal coincidence.

It began in the early 1800's with the death of "the most extraordinary Indian leader in American history."

His name was T ecumsah and he was a Shawnee chief.

An American general's report to Washington D.C. called him "one of those uncommon geniuses which spring up occasionally to produce revolutions and overturn the established order of things."

"If it were not for the vicinity of the United States," continued the report, "he would perhaps be the founder of an empire that would rival in glory that of Mexico or Peru."

In 1820, seven years after Tecumseh's death, the Indian Centinel remarked that "his greatness was his own, unassisted by science or the aids of education. As a statesman, a warrior and a patriot, take him all-in-all, we shall not look upon his like again."

After a romantic interlude with a white girl in Ohio, from whom Tecumseh learned about the Bible, Shakespeare and history, he displayed a compassion for helpless people, especially prisoners, that made him ledgendary among Western settlers.

He had a vision of a unified Indian nation and people, rare among Indian leaders. To that end he traveled extensively, decrying the evils of liquor that had subdued and brought ruin to many Indian villages.

An electrifying orator, he urged the tribes to unite, to fight the white man's invasion. He argued that the lands that were being turned over to American settlers belonged to all Indians and that no chief had authority to make such land deals.

In 1810 the Shawnee chief had an inevitable confrontation with his nemesis, then Governor of the Indian territory, William Henry Harrison.

They were two strong-willed men whose philosophies were bound for a collision course.

At that time, the chiefs brother Laulewasika, who became known as the Prophet, aided

Tecumseh in his cause by preaching unity and abstinence from alcohol.

Laulewasika has himself achieved sobriety through a series of mystical experiences in which he believed he had met the Indians' Master of Life.

While Tecumseh was visiting tribes in the South, Harrison took the opportunity to pursuade a group of chiefs in the Indiana territory to cede huge areas to the U.S. Government by plying them with whiskey.

Many of the tribes who occupied the area were not represented at the meeting. Enraged, Tecumseh prepared to fight back.

Harrison responded in November of 1811 by leading an attack on Prophet's Town, Tecumseh's headquarters on Tippecanoe Creek, while returning to the south to gain support.

A premature war ensued. It became part of the War of 1812 when Tecumseh renounced U.S. sovereignty and joined the British army in Canada.

Finally in October of 1813 at the Battle of the Thames (in western Ontario) Tecumseh was killed. It was then that Laulewasika, the Prophet, cursed Harrison and every President who would take office in a zero year.

Beginning with William Henry Harrison, leader of the troops against the Tippecanoe settlement, every President elected in a zero year has die while in office.

Ironically, it is Harrison who holds the record for the shortest Presidential term, dying one month after his inauguration.

Although President Reagan has survived one assasination attempt and has withstood the hectic pace of the campaign trail, the next four years will undoubtedly take their toll.

It is not any reasonable person's hope that our President should lose his life and our country its leader, but should that happen we can only hope that Vice-president George Bush is equal to the task.

Pinballlrevival' craze hits game room

By John Castro Twenty-one video games plus eight pinball machines reside in the game room located at the west end of the Student Union.

Yet, in one more week, two video games will be removed in place of two pinball machines. It has been noticed that pinball machines alone will generate more profit in the game room, as well as more pinball fanatics, than ever.

And because of this "revival," according to Bob Klug, director of vending machine services, a game room tournament is tentatively scheduled for Comet Week and the winner of that tournament will receive a reconditioned pinball machine courtesy of Serv'O' Mation/Roe. Four months ago, the game room was a different story. Klug explains how he brought the room from ruins to riches.

"Two pool tables used to be in the room. They were removed because the cue sticks were constantly being broken by people. They cost five dollars each."

As a result of this, Klug placed the tables outside of the room, in the Stu-

...

(continued from page 1) Along with Dean Price, ASB advisor, Klug also credits Palomar president and district superintendent, Dr. Omar Scheidt, with the huge success of the program.

In Klug's words, "No one knows the good that Dr. Scheidt does. He told me to let him know if I had any problems.

If it hadn't been for him, nothing would have ever happened."

As fmal proof of the accomplishments of the Food Bank, students have reported back to Klug that if it hadn't been for the program, they wouldn't have been able to make it.

Featured will be Ann Chase, soprano; Kathleen O'Brien, messo-soprano; William Eichorn, tenor; and Philip Larson, bass.

A selection of choruses, arias, and quartets will be. presented.

They include Boito, Mefistofele; Purcell, Dido and Aeneas; Flotow, Martha; Donizetti, Lucia di Lammermoor; Bernstein, West Side Story; Gershwin, Porgy and Bess; and Bizet, Carmen.

dent Union for them to be sold.

"The window sills had cigarette burns all over them," said Klug. Because of this Klugimposed a "no smoking" rule in the room.

With the help of Leonard Flagg, last year's ASG president, Klug tinted the windows, pasted up wall paper, raised the ceiling from a six foot hanging drop, repainted the window sills, restained the wood panelling, washed the carpet and placed a Pepsi machine and a fan in the room. Klug paid Flagg out of his own pocket for his help in decorating the room.

Klug will install two speakers on the wall sometime next week, so that the sounds of KSM (the college radio station) can be enjoyed by people while they're in the game room.

According to Klug, as a result of the installment of pinball machines in place of the pool tables, it has generated a 30% increase in profits.

Half of this money goes to ASB, clubs and services. The other half goes to Serv'O'Mation/ Roe, the company that owns all the entertainment and vending machines.

"We've worked out a contract with Serv'O'Mation so that a maintenance

man comes every day to keep all the machines in proper condition," says Klug. _ "Jim Wedge, the manager of the repair section of Serv'O'Mation, stops by Palomar on his way to work to fix the machine~ . If he needs any parts, he picks them up from work and stops by again to repair them."

Klug credits the company for doing a good job.

By next year, Klug will change even more of the video games due to a loss of interest. Bezerk, Bump 'n' Jump, Defender, Kangaroo, Popeye and Tempest are all going," says Klug. "If any student likes to play these games, they better come and make them popular again." Klug says that Scramble and Centipede are currently the two most popular video games.

"There's a bigger resurgence in pinball now," says freshman Erik Eilerts, vice-president of the gaming society.

Eilerts, a player since his pre-teens, says that the easiest way to tell an amateur from a pro is that the amateur always uses both flippers at the same time while playing pinball.

"Pinball is like rock and roll; it's here to stay!"

Lack of height-again-will hurt cagers

By Paul Taylor The question facing the 1984-85 version of men's basketball at Palomar is not what heights it will reach, but rather, how good it will become.

To most, both of the above questions may appear to be asking the same thing. But not if taken literally.

For if there is one thing Palomar coach Andy Gilmour knows of his team this year, it is that it will be without height the way Mickey Rooney is.

"We're very small," Gilmour admitted. "We'll probably be one of the smallest teams in the state. So obviously, we're going to try and make up for that by finding the right combination of players who are very hard workers and will jell to~ether.

"We have some good athletes and I think they'll mature. I've tried to get the kids to understand that there are really no shortcuts to success. I think they understand that, and they have been working hard."

They'll have to become more than hard workers to have the same success with their non-conference schedule that they had last year when the Comets were 10-5 before enduring a Mission Conference disaster that saw Gilmour's team lose 10 of 14 contests.

This year's non-conference schedule, though, is a killer and Gilmour knows it.

"Our non-conference schedule is murder," he said. "We'll be playing some of the very best teams in the states and we open with Santa Barbara, which is ranked second in California. I'd do cartwheels if we could be 10-5 going into conference this year."

That is not likely to happen this time, for a lot of reasons, the most obvious being the amount of highquality teams the Comets will be playing. But another is the experience.

Lack of it, that is.

Last year, Gilmour was dealing with a team that was almost exclusively sophomores. This time, though, things are quite different.

"There is a big difference between freshmen and sophomore,"Gilmour said.

"The sophomores seem to mature sooner than the freshmen, so I think this team will really start to take shape later in the season.

'Because we are small up front, we have to do other things. We need to be aggressive, play good solid defense and work hard.'

Thus far, the Comets have had two scrimmages, against Cypress and Cerritos. Palomar lost both of them, but Gilmour was encouraged.

"Against Cypress, overall I felt they did a pretty good job. Against Cerritos there were just too many turnovers, but I think that's to be expected because thay haven't been working together very long."

As of yet, there is no starting lineup set for the November 16 opener with second-rated Santa Barbara and one of the reasons for that is lack of dropoff in talent throughout the roster.

Here is a rundown of the players and comments from Gilmour:

Jerome Govan, sophomore point guard - "He played a lot last year for us at one point. I think he has matured a lot because he is better defensively and he's more of a take-charge guy."

Duane Hurd, freshman guard from Carlsbad High School- "He's an ex-

Lady hoopsters hoping to field contending team

By Keith Fleming With only two players returning from last year's women's basketball squad that amassed a grand total of 1 victor ·.y, one would expect first year coach Terri Bamford to engage in the usual coaches' pre-season rhetoric with words like "should", "if", and ".500".

Realistically, a mediocre season, at best, would be a fair estimation for the season. Right? Wrong!

That's where fair assessments fall by the wayside and Bamford takes over.

"We'll be defmite competitors for number one," coach Bamford declares.

Bamford has only two players returning from ateamlastyearthat struggled. But the coach feels this year's version could be challenging for a conference title before the season is over.

In the Mission Conference that has nearby San Diego Mesa and Grossmont eyeballing a title, the lady Comets hope to live up to their coach's declarations and run away with a league championship.

And two pre-season scrimmages would seem to give some credibility to a championship contending season.

After having an easy time with a women's Navy team from San Diego, the lady Comets scrimmaged a very highly regarded L.A Trade Tech.

"L.A is always number one in their league, and I was real impressed with our play," commented Bamford.

The scrimmage, which consisted of three 20 minute periods, ended 103-95 in favor of L.A

The starting five, consisting of guards Marcia Kaminski and Angie Jadovitz, forwards Koi Wooten and Vicki Meyer and center Pam Colland, all performed well together scoring and rebounding evenly. But the players off the bench hinted as to what could be the hidden strength of the team-depth.

"That's a real good thing about our team. Our second line is always pushing our first line which really makes for a good competitive practice."

Coming off the bench are returning forwards Lisa Vitous, and Pam Yates, along with guards Krisi Kasalas, Katie French and Joey Velasquez.

Bamford, who prepped at San Pasqual High School before playing and then coaching at UC Irvine, couldn't be happier being back in North County.

"I really like working in this area, and I really like working on the junior college level."

She also fmds recruiting, the heart and soul of a good program, much easier at this level. With a gold mine of talent in the North County, recruiting was Bamford's first move after being hired. Bamford recalls, "When I got hired last summer, I went and talked to some of the girls and most of them seemed to be headed to Mesa, but I talked to them and now they're here."

"Most of tuc girls come from good programs like Mt. Carmel or Poway's."

With a tough league schedule ahead and the official season opener set for today at East L.A, coach Bamford has an interesting remark concerning the opponent in the opener.

"They haven't had much in the past; but they've got a new coach now, so things could be different."

The same could be used to describe this year's Comet team and if coach Bamford has her way, it would read something like this: They haven't had much in the past, but they've got a new coach, so things WILL be different.'

tremely fine shooter and a hard worker. He was the second-leading scorer in the county last year. He's going to be a very good player."

Willie White, 6-3 redshirt sophomore guard from Long Beach Poly High School and Los Angeles Harbor Junior College - "Willie is as good an athlete as there is on this team. He has exceptional quickness. We expect a lot of things from him because he comes from a winning program."

Charlie Panos, redshirt sophomore guard from San Marcos High School and MiraCosta College- "He's another kid who works real hard. If I could have one player the others should emulate, it would be him. He's real quick, a very good passer and a good shooter too."

Chris Kriel, 6-1 freshman forwardguard from Orange Glen High School - "Of all the players so far this season, Chris has been the biggest and most pleasant surprise. He's one of those guys who works extremely hard at whatever he needs to. He's really come a long way. He wasn't a real good shooter when we started, but he's improved an awful lot. He'll be a big help to us. Nobody works harder on defense than him, either."

Dartgnan Stamps, 6-3 freshman guard/ forward from Westchester High School- "He has an enormous amount of potential. All he lacks is experience and once he gets that, he'll be a very good player."

C.O. Zerull, 6-3 freshman forward from Orange Glen High School - "He's the best jumper on the team. Another hard worker, he has really accepted the challenge of forward against guys that are much bigger than he is. He'll jump center for us too."

Kurt Story, 6-5 freshman center from Victorville High School - "Probably right now the most complete player up

front, and as the season goes on and he gets more experience, his confidence level is going to increase and he'll become even better. He's a good shooter too."

Scott De Hoog, 6-5 freshman forward from Redlands High School "Scott has maybe the most potential of all the forwards. He's big, strong and can shoot the ball. If he improves his intensity he can be a very fme basketball player. He was second team allleague in high school."

That improving could be speeded up if Gilmour could fmd the offensive

leadership necessary.

"We had Lloyd Klamar for two years and he was the cocky type of player, the guy who really took charge.

"I'm still looking for that kind of player from this team. It doesn't necessarily mean he's got to be the vocal type, just somebody who will run the show and someone the rest of the players will respect."

Despite his team's lack of size up front, which cannot be overcome, and experience, which can, Gilmour is very optimistic.

'As a whole, I think this team has more potential than last year's team. It'll just develop later on in the season because there are so many freshmen.'

Curtis Blume, 6-3 freshman forward from San Marcos High School - "A very hard worker, the kind of kid you like to have on your side in a street fight. He's a real scrapper. Nobody wants to take a charge from him in practice."

Kurt Carro, 6-4 freshman forward from Monte Vista and Valhalla high schools - "Kurt's a very strong inside player. He could become a leader up front for us.

"Overall," Gilmour continued, "I think this group as a whole is at the point where it needs to continue to improve.

They also have to understand that, after seeing the other team's size, they can't get down. The guys have to be positive.

Even if the team is struggling early on in the season, they have to remember to stay up. As the season progresses, the team will get better."

"Because we are small up front," he said, "we have to do other things. We need to be aggressive, play hard defense and work hard.

"If the guys play together and if they can cut down on the turnovers, they will be a factor in the conference. At least, I hope I'm right."

Actually, Gilmour believes that, while this year's team may not be as good right now as last year's, it may end up better than a team that fizzled at the end of the season, following a 10-5 start to post a 14-15 record.

"As a whole," he said, "I think this team has more potential than last year's team. It'll just develop later on because there are so many freshmen."

And that is the way it is for virtually every team in Palomar's conference.

"Last year it was mostly a sophomore conference, so it's kind of hard to tell which teams will be where," Gilmour said. "But the rumors are that Imperial Valley has 15 of 18 players from out of state. Grossmont and San Diego City will also be up there. I'd say those three teams will be the teams to beat."

Spikers drop two to league powers

By Paul Taylor Coach Teri McFarland's volleyball team closed out the 1984 season with a pair of losses, but they came against the conference's powers.

The Comets dropped their match November 9 against Grossmont 13-15, 5-15, 13-15, facing the second-best team in the conference.

"I was very happy to get 13 points in two games at Grossmont," McFarland said. "We got some very good play from Chris Miller. She had 13 kills and passed the ball very well. I think she was the team's spark. She really got things going.

"Jennifer Mitchell and Joey Velasquez had their best setting games of the year. Jennifer also had nine kills and four ace serves."

In addition, Carrie Sharp and Laura Harder did their best blocking job of the year. Sharp recorded five stuffs and two aces, while the left-handed Harder had four stuffs.

Palomar opened the week with a 315, 10-15, 12-15loss at San Diego Mesa,

which not only is tops in the conference but also in the state.

"We were almost invisible in that first (3-15) game," McFarland said of her teams' first game performance. "It was almost like the whole team wasn't there. It didn't play well at all.

"In the last two games though, they really came alive. They played very well. The hitting was a lot better this time than it was before, but our setting wasn't. We had more setting errors than before."

McFarland was also pleased with the defensive aspect of her team's performance.

"The team played very well defensively, digging a lot of balls. And Laura Harder had three aces serving. She was really a factor in the match.

"We had very poor passing against Mesa, but after the first game, it was still very close and hard-fought. That last game was a long one, it must have lasted 45 minutes."

Palomar ended the season 5-6 in conference action and in fourth place.

Olsen's three goals lead kickers to sweep Glen Olsen and Hector Hernandez led an offensive charge that helped the men's soccer team to a successful conelusion of a successful season.

Hernandez scored on a penalty kick to lead coach Frank Hankin's team to a 1-1 tie with San Diego Mesa, November 9. The contest ended the season for Palomar 6-4-4 in conference action and 11-5-4 overall and a fourth place fmish.

Earlier this week, Hernandez and Mike Carrer assisted on two Glen Olsen goals as the Comets shut Imperial Valley College out 2-0 November 6.

Hankin had particular praise for goaltender Florentine Ortiz, who mastered the shutout in the nets for Palomar.

"He played an outstanding game," Hankin said. "He saved several goals for us and really deserved the shutout."

But the question on everyone's mind before the contest was answered in the affirmative.

Sophomore Peter Loedel scored eight goals, the fmal one coming a minute into the fourth period, to break John Adams' four-year-old school record for goals in a season. Loedel was

pulled from the contest after scoring his eighth goal of the match and 103rd of the season.

"The players all knew he was there and what he needed to do, and they really wanted to get him the ball," Palomar coach Don Hubbard said.

The record-tying goal, number 102, came with 16 seconds left in the third quarter.

Tony Bennett supported Loedel offensively with four goals while Joe Machado and Russ Schultz scored twice and Brad Royer and John Hyde tallied once. Machado dished off for four assists to finish with a teamleading 69. Loedel was second on the

The women's soccer team closed out the season in fine fashion on November 9 with a 3-1 decision over Golden West.

Mary Hydo, Penny Busby and Lisa Chelebowski scored goals to lead the offensive charge.

The win left the Comets with a conference record of6-4 and a third-place fmish.

"It was real nice to fmish on a high note," Palomar coach Judy Mazzarella said after the season and its fmale. "I think it's pretty obvious that we were a strong third, too. Our only losses were to the top two teams in the conference.

Against Long Beach on November 6, the Comets won a Iaugher 7-0.

Hydo scored twice to lead the way.

Palomar lost to San Diego Mesa on November 6 in a game that knocked the Comets out of the playoffs, 13-9.

Loedel tossed in three goals, Tony Benn.ett and John Hyde scored twice each and JeffWarner and Russ Schultz scored once.

Perhaps the best performance was turned in by Chris Koon and Joe Machado.

Koon rejected 13 shots in goal for the Comets and Machado dished out four assists.

Behind the Iron Curtain

Communist territory toured .by instructor

By Rich Stiteler

"We're going to be paying for it for a while, but it was worth it."

This is what Jay AIperson said about his recent journey into Communist territory during his one year sabbatical.

Alperson, who teaches psychology and who helps students in computer instruction here, used his time for travels through Poland and Russia which turned out to be "quite an experience."

The trip to Poland was mainly an attempt to locate his wife's family.

Going on nothing but the family name and the name of the town in which they lived, the Alpersons set out across a Communist country. It was an experience that AIperson says "changed me dramatically."

Culture shock was a bit of a problem for the Alpersons as the lifestyles of a Communist country were unfamiliar to them to a large degree. Alperson sums up this point in one word. "Frustration."

Poland, being under Russian rule, is also subject to "a horrible distribution system." Alperson remembers that, "It

Counseling set for transfers Group counseling is available on the UCSD campus at 10:30 every weekday morning. Students who are interested in learning more about the campus should meet at Building 101, second floor in the Administrative Complex, where they will be escorted to the meeting location.

These sessions provide general information about transferring. Students who need more specific information can meet with a counselor after the program. ' For more information about individualized or group sessions, contact the Office of Educational Opportunity/ Relations with Schools at (619) 452-4831.

was very hard to get supplies, and we had to wait in line for toilet paper."

Outside of a train station in Amsterdam with no money and no place to sleep, the Alpersons were witness to some disturbing occurrences.

"The train station turned out to be the main distribution point for heroin," Alperson recalls. "Someone tried to knife a man and then someone else chased him away with a broken beer bottle."

Despite this, the Alpersons got by very well with his knowledge of the German language, and his wife's ability to speak a little Polish.

Besides travels through distant lands, A! person also spent his sabbatical time writing computer programs for his psychology classes.

The programs are unique in that the student actually participates in the various psychological techniques and experiments.

Using different auditory tones, the computer can test "Pitch Perception."

By punching the right keys, the beginning psychology student is introduced to Personality, Extra Sensory Perception, or any one of the many other programs available for his Introduction to Psychology students.

"Some teachers are worried about it (computers) taking away their jobs, but I don't see that happening." Alperson makes clear that "the computers don't have the flexibility that people have."

Alperson attended the University of Oregon, and went to Princeton for a time, obtaining a degree in physics and a Ph.D. in psychology.

Among some of his hobbies, AIperson "used to play a lot of Dixieland," enjoys the clarinet, and still finds time to occasionally play in polka bands.

Alperson hopes to gain additional Apple and IBM computers for the library-based computer lab, not only for his psychology classes, but for the entire college as well.

"My dream is that ultimately much of the faculty and student body will be using computers as an aid to instruction."

Fashion show scheduled during Comet Week

By Paul Taylor

The glamour of Hollywood glitter, the bright lights of Broadway, it'll all come to the Palomar campus, if only for a few hours.

As part of Comet Week, the Associated Student Body will be putting on a fashion show. But if all goes right, this won't be just any fashion show.

It will be THE fashion show.

The show, slated for Wednesday, November 20 at noon in the Student Union, is just part of Comet Week, and some very special things are planned for this event.

"We have some real neat things lined up for this show," said Carey Kirner, sophomore at Palomar and professional model who is serving as coordinator of the show. She will also do some modeling. "We really want this to turn out well, and I think it will."

HEALTH NOTES

The theme for the show, Kirner said, is "Vacations". "We will go to five places around the world and model the clothing featured there."

Acapulco (swim wear), Texas (western wear), San Francisco (evening wear), Colorado (ski wear) and San Diego (nautical) will be the places "visitied" during the show. In addition, various types of clothing worn on campus will also be modeled.

Kirner said she was hoping for at least 25 models. Originally, she was hoping for all the models to be students at Palomar, but such will not be the case, due to demands of one of the apparel stores supplying outfits.

Still, she is hoping for 25 models and has about 10, all from Palomar. "I need more people," she said.

Refreshments will be offered at the show.

"I'm really hoping this is going to be the best fashion show ever here," she said. "I wish a lot of people would come out and watch. It should be fun."

In that situation, a registered nurse does some preliminary assessment and testing, taking the temperature, blood pressure and, in the case of a cold, a throat culture, to determine if further attention is needed.

"We do lab work here and we have a daily pick up. Doctors prescribe medication and we carry most of the medication here. We charge students our cost for that, but that (the lab and medicine fees) is the only cost to them."

The doctors who are available have expertise in a number of areas including: Ears, Nose and Throat, Gynecology, Dermatology and General practitioners.

A Podiatrist (foot specialist) is also available on a monthly basis.

Doctors also offer services from family planning to treatment of venereal disease, which Hankins says is rare but present.

"We don't see a whole lot of it, but we do see it," said Hankins.

The registered nurse on duty can also dispense non-prescription drugs, do TB tests, give immunizations and emergency first aid, which is all done by authorization of a doctor who signs a protocol.

Hankins also says that the college program has an excellent referral system to other health services for those on a budget. Loans on medical equipment such as crutches are also available to students who cannot afford to rent their own.

Hankins stated that there are three specific areas that Health Services deal with: Nursing services, Psychological services and Medical services.

"We hope to enlarge the educational aspects," said Hankins. "We'reveryeducation oriented. Health services information always seems so secretive, but we want them (the students) to know and understand more about their own health.

Students interested in group therapy may call Student Health Services, Ext.2380. The meetings will begin this fall and will provide a support system for men or women who wish to explore various areas of their lives in a group environment with psychological supervision.

Bulmia, anorexia nervosa and overeating are often "hidden" eating disorders. If you wish to explore your "secret" in an individual or group environment under psychological supervision, please call Student Health Services, Ext. 2380.

***

When was the last time you cared enough about yourself to have a Pap test? This preventive test can be performed on campus. Physicians in Student Health Services are available by appointment. The only charge is a $4 lab fee. The doctor will also answer any gynecological questions.

A podiatrist is now available in Student Health Services by appointment.

He is available for consultation and possible treatment.

A physician is available by appointment to treat acute short term problems.
