Enrollment declines are statewide

By Melanie J. Anderson

Less students are attending Palomar this semester as enrollment dropped 8.9 percent compared to Spring 1984.

Although enrollment has decreased since last year, it has increased 1.5 percent compared to last fall. The total enrollment is up to 16,140 students from 15,899 students that attended classes last fall.

Community colleges statewide have suffered a ten percent drop, says Palomar president/ superintendent Dr. Omar Scheidt.

Scheidt cites the present condition of the economy and the $50 fee as factors for this decrease in enrollment.

"People are getting jobs," he says, " (rather than attending school) and, therefore, less units are being taken."

"Other students, the disadvantaged, or the poverty-stricken, cannot afford the $5 per unit or $50 fee."

Herman Lee, Director of Admissions and Records points to other factors that are contributing to the decline of student enrollment.

"We are seeing a shift toward evening, part-time students because more people have full-time jobs. Our daytimers are decreasing while we are seeing a greater head count for our nighttimers."

For the past two years, Lee says, a

PREaTJGE

Scheidt accepts teaching position

By Melanie Anderson Outgoing President/ Superintendent Dr. Omar Scheidt has accepted a teaching position offered to him by the Board of Trustees in a special meeting last November after Dr. Scheidt was informed of the board's decision not to renew his contract.

According to board president Mary Burke-Trotta, the board's offer was in accordance with the California Education Code which specifies that, by law, the board must offer Dr. Scheidt a teaching position because he is under teachers tenure.

Any certificated employee employed at Palomar for over three years is under tenure.

Dr. Scheidt presided at Palomar for eight years.

At this time it has not been decided in what department Dr. Scheidt will teach.

However, Dr. Scheidt said his position will "probably be in math, chemistry, Cooperative Education, or supervision classes."

Dr. Scheidt carries a general secondary credential which qualifies him to teach grades 7-14 in his subject field.

According to Dr. Theodore Kilman, Assistant Superintendent/ Vice President oflnstruction, the board offered Dr. Scheidt an unspecified contract.

Various departments will review Dr. Scheidt's file and make recommendations. This procedure is unusual, Kilman said.

"If there is an opening in a department which Dr. Scheidt is qualified to teach in, the department has the option of selecting Dr. Scheidt for that position".

Former Math Department chairperson Robert Fullerton said he was informed at the end of last year that Dr. Scheidt would be placed in his department.

"I was not happy with that decision," Fullerton said. "We were not consulted whether or not we wanted him. We need full-time day instructors. We try to get qualified people. We don't know if Dr. Scheidt is qualified or not. We never received any transcripts."

Fullerton ended his chair position prematurely when he resigned from his post February 1. He had served six months of the usual three years a chairperson serves.

Although Fullerton stated that he was unhappy administering, it was a combination of reasons "topped off" with Dr. Scheidt's offered teaching position which compelled him to resign.

Fullerton presided as math chair ten years ago. He has been at Palomar

Clubs join in Awareness Day

by Jim Molinar Crime doesn't pay, but here on campus, cleaning up after yourself soon will.

Student Awareness Day will be kicking off an ongoing clean-up campaign with lucky students receiving "Caught'cha Bein' Neat" awards for cleaning up after themselves.

Many other activities are scheduled for Student Awareness Day, Wednesday, March 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

These include: free rootbeer floats, a KSM remote live in the Student Union, a Trivial Pursuit tournament and other club activities.

The main thrust of this event, other than the clean-up campaign, will be to make students aware of the benefits that they can receive from the service organizations and clubs on campus.

There will be tables on the patio at which representatives of the organi-

zations and/ or student government officers will have information available to students. Groups invited to attend include: EOPS, Health Services, Financial Aid, Foundations Tutorial, and many others.

Associated Student Government representatives will be giving out the root beer floats, while the marketing firm that handed out Butterfmgers during the first week of March will be ¡ back to give out more free samples.

The Trivial Pursuit tournament~ be in its semi-finals stage during Student Awareness Day. It will have started March 19, and will fmish March 21. The entry fee for this event will be $1, and prizes will be awarded.

"Entries will be limited to the first 108 persons, and are being taken in R-33, the Gaming Society's club room,"

since 1963, and is now currently teaching trigonometry, college algebra, and beginning and intermediate algebra.

Dr. Scheidt, who has never taught at Palomar, says it is possible that he will begin teaching either this summer session or next fall.

Dr. Scheidt has taught life science, math and chemistry in Bakersfield and in the Los Angeles system.

Honor club becomes the largest on campus

By Cyndie Claypool With more than 300 members, the Alpha Gama Sigma honor society has climbed from one of the smallest clubs on campus to the largest in one year, according to president Les Spellman.

"The club on the move," as Spellman refers to it, not only gives its members an opportunity for scholarships but also offers numerous social events.

Last year the club averaged 50 members with unfilled executive positions and only a few activities, he explained.

In June 1984, Les Spellman and Peter Gonzalez. were named president and vice president.

"We worked the entire summer building the club," Spellman said.

According to Spellman, the club now averages 1.5 activities per week This year's past events have included a Catalina cruise, a toga party and trips to Julian, Magic Mountain and Balboa Park They also helped with other organizations such as the Book Swap and Patrons of Palomar. Their latest fundraiser was a bake sell they had February 27-28.

Numerous dinners and beach parties are always being planned throughout the year.

Their next major activity will be a Disneyland overnighter sometime this month.

A large fundraiser they are looking forward to is a projected casino night.

"Las Vegas- a night on the town" will

feature a floor show, comedians, food, beverages and various casino games.

This evening is tentatively planned for May 25 from 6 p.m. - 2 a.m.in the Student Union. If everything follows through, Spellman speculates that they will raise $5,000.

Any money raised at the various activities, plus the $8 per semester dues, go into a scholarship fund.

At the termination of each school year, AGS has a banquet at which time they deplete that year's funds in the form of individual scholarships.

The advisors, Daniel Arnsan and Stanley Levy decided who should be awarded and how much on the basis of the students' Grade Point Average and participation of activities, fund raisers and attendance at the meetings, according to Spellman.

The amount of scholarships awarded depends on the funds collected. Last year AGS had $l100. They should have $7,000 by the end of this year, Spellman said.

Because the club is chartered and is recognized as a state chapter, members are also eligible to apply for scholarships from four-year state colleges.

"We offer the highest academic award in the State of California at the community college level," he emphasized.

In order to be a chartered member of AGS, Spellman and Gonzales attended a regional conference in November. They will also be attending a state conference for three days in April.

Spellman boasts that Palomar's AGS

is the largest chapter out of the more than 40 chapters in the state.

To be considered for AGS, a student must have a 3.25 or better GPA. If the GPA is 3.0 to 3.25, they are eligible for probation.

Probation means that they may. still receive scholarships and be involved in the club; however, one can only be on probation for a semester.

Spellman is shooting for 500 members by the end of the year. He has been promoting the club by having a booth at registration and club days and speaking in classrooms.

Every applicant for AGS is called by a current member, specifying if the applicant has been accepted or denied.

"I spend over 40 hours a week working with the club," Spellman said.

"It takes a lot of organization."

Besides being president of AGS, Spellman is also an Associated Student Body senator and on the Speakers Bureau and Student Publication Committee.

He also served as the Inter-Club Council chairman for three months earlier this year.

Although Spellman may try to fill all open positions possible, he has left a few seats vacant in AGS. The positions of treasurer, corresponding secretary and recording secretary are open.

Meetings are every other week in A74 at Monday noon and Thursday at 12:30. The student may attend which ever meeting is more convenient.

Cagers lose, but have a guarded future

By Paul Taylor It had to happen some time, didn't it? I mean, it couldn't last forever.

Could it?

The fairy tale story of the women's basketball team, written, produced, directed and orchestrated by firstyear coach Terri Bamford, after accomplishing amazing things in its initial run, reached an end, fmally, but it was a bit too soon for Bamford's taste.

In the quarterfinals of the Southern California Community Colleges women's basketball playoffs March 6 at Long Beach City College, the Lady Comets fell to Santa Monica 71 -54.

The Bowden sisters Gibran and Gisselle, scored 20 and 16 points respectively, and Valerie Verner added 16 more for the winners but it was the Comets' own lack of efficient execution offensively that was their undoing.

"We just didn 't play real well," Bamford said of her young team's disappointing performance. "Santa Monica was pretty quick, but it wasn't anything we hadn't seen already during the season. All our guards are freshmen, so they'll be coming back next year, but their inexperience really showed in this game."

Indeed. Palomar turned the ball over an almost-unheard-of 31 times

because of its opponent's pressure, and a close game at halftime was turned into a rout. In addition to her 16 points, Gisselle Bowden also pulled down 16 rebounds to lead her team.

For the Comets, sophomore Lakoi Wooten, whom Bamford has called the best post player in the Pacific Coast Conference, turned in another standout performance in her final game in a Palomar uniform. The six-foot transfer from the University of TexasEl Paso tied for game scoring honors with 20 points and led everyone with 21 rebounds.

Despite Wooten's heroics, though, the Comets were out-rebounded 4831. And, even though Palomar was the better shooter from the floor--the Comets shot 39 percent for the game, to 33 percent for Santa Monica-it wasn't enough.

Angie Jadovitz, with 12 points, and Pam Calland with 10 were the only other Palomar players scoring in double figures.

"We were losing by nine points (4738) at halftime," Bamford said. "But we had been playing pretty well in that first half. After that, though, we just threw the ball away too much.

"The turnovers were definitely a major factor. The girls were obviously really nervous out there and they played like it. They played like they

had never touched a basketball. They played scared almost the whole game."

Entering the contest, Bamford had reason to be optimistic concerning her team's chances to advance in the tournament. After all, earlier in the season, Palomar had lost just 68-60 to Santa Monica, even though starting guard Marcia Kamminski was not at full strength.

"I was encouraged with the way we were playing in the first half, too," she said. "But in the second half we just came out and, hey, no excuses. We just fell apart. It was ridiculous. They were throwing the ball all over the place.

'We defmitely beat ourselves, that's for sure. But when we weren't throwing the ball away, we ran our offense well."

Despite the loss, however, 1985 was very kind to Palomar basketball. The very same program that produced an 0-15 disaster in PCC play in 1984 and won one game overall brought in Bamford before the season began and the results were extraordinary--120 in conference, 18-7 overall and a No. 8 ranking in the state.

All but three players on this year's team return next season, and of the starting five, only Wooten departs.

And Bamford feels that this loss, as painful as it is, may serve as a valuable experience for her talented group of

ADIOS -Palomar's Vicki Meyer drives by an opposing player during recent action. The Comets 'outstanding season came to an end last week.

freshmen.

"Oh definitely," she said. "Now the girls know what it takes to win big games like this one. Koi was the only starting sophomore, so we should be real strong again. This can really serve as a learning tool for them. They didn't play real well, not as well as they know and I know they can play, but now they know what they have to do to make their performance in these big games what it should be. This is a real tense situation, games like this, and it's good to get the experience."

"Oh yeah, we're going to miss her, there's no doubt about that," Bamford said. "Players like Koi don't come around every year. She's a great, great athlete, a valuable player for sure. It's obviously going to be tough to replace her.

"But I'm going to do everything it takes to get a player close to Koi's skills. No matter what happens, though, we'll be strong next season.

Priest accused in dramatic tale

Nation's capital inspires Farrow

By Cyndie Claypool "American sound: It is hopeful, bighearted, idealistic, daring, decent and fair. That's our heritage, that's our song. " - President Ronald Reagan Washington D.C. has left a major impact on Kevin Farrow, Associated Student Body president, within the last few months.

Besides taking up residence in the nation's capitol as Student Liaison for the Department of Education last weekend, Farrow had also attended President Reagan's inauguration and a student convention there with previous ASB senator Blaine Adessa.

The highlight of the trip for Farrow, who attended many of the programs as the regional director of Area 3 of the California Association of Community Colleges, was the "Leadership Forum for Young Americans" seminar.

Colonial band members, looking like they were straight from the Civil War, adorned with white wigs and early American clothing increased their patriotic songs from an awe inspiring pianisimo to the room filling fortisimo.

"It was a neat program," Farrow said. "There were 2000 cream-of-thecrop students from different colleges and organizations. It made you proud to be a student leader."

One of the speakers, Craig Fuller, assistant to the President for Cabinet Affairs, gave a thought provoking message that there is a new trend in the young Americans. They are no longer "burning flags" as they were a decade ago.

Two astronauts spoke, along with the youngest Congressman, age 27, who said that they were turning over "a country full of hope" to the future leaders.

Vice President Bush also spoke after which a slide presentation of Reagan was shown depicting the President in real life instances (i.e. in his pajamas).

"It was a dream come true, as exciting as when I received the news about my appointment as student liaison officer," Farrow said. "It's hard to put into words. The inside of Constitution Hall was extremely impressive.

Although Adessa and Farrow were prepared to watch the Inauguration in person, due to the extreme cold, Reagan's affair was moved into the Rotunda. This allowed an exclusive

few to watch his swearing-in and listen to President Reagan's patriotic address in person.

Reagan enhanced all viewers with such statements as "We are creating a nation once again robust and alive.

There are many mountains yet to climb. We will not rest until every American enjoys the fullness of freedom, dignity, and opportunity which is our birthright as citizens. It is our birthright as citizens of this great Republic."

Adessa and Farrow watched the Inauguration on the T.V. set in Senator Pete Wilson's office where "everybody who was anybody was there," according to Farrow.

Members of the Padres and Chargers were there along with a fellow resident Warner Lusardi of Lusardi Construction Company.

"It was a smart decision (to move the Inauguration inside). The weather was so cold I froze," Farrow reminisced. "The wind felt like it was straight from the Yukon. They cancelled everything. Everyone was super upset."

Despite the cold, the twosome made it to the Innaugural Youth Ball that evening. Farrow tried to explained the aura of the evening. "It was like the Senior prom," he said searching for a comparison.

Among some of the famous young Americans present was the lady Farrow escorted, Miss Teenage America. Olympic swimmer Steve Lundquist and gymnast Julie MacNamara were also present.

The tuxedoes Farrow and Adessa wore were donated by Night and Day Formalwear.

"The trip was a once in a lifetime learning experien ce," Farrow summarized.

"Due to lack of finances, Blaine and I had to raise the money ourselves."

Farrow said. "We made the trip through initiative and community support."

The Patrons of Palomar were the biggest supporters of the twosome.

Others that helped fmance them were the Escondido, San Marcos and Carlsbad Rotary Clubs and Assemblyman Robert Frazee.

"It proved that students can get things done by seeking and raising their own funds. If any one really wants to get something, they should reac h out and get it," Farrow concluded.

What does the courtroom testimony reveal?

"The Runner Stumbles", a gripping courtroom drama and a tale of repressed passion will be presented by the Palomar Theatre March 22 through 24 and March 28 through 30.

The play, written by Milan Stitt, is about a priest, portrayed by Brad Snyder, in a parish in northern Michigan charged with the murder of a nun, played by Leslie Swartz. The action alternates between courtroom testimony and scenes of past events.

Director Buddy Ashbrook likes the idea of putting on such a powerful play.

"It has important meanings that are good for college students. It seems like a real interesting play."

Adding to the story are Lisa Constanza, who plays Mrs. Shandig, David Hedrick the prosecutor and Dan Pastel who portrays the lawyer Toby Felkes.

Other cast members included Elizabeth Gumble , Rosemary Isabell, Michael Lloyd and Kevin Mann.

Ashbrook decided to do this play because it had "spectacle and thought."

"Most plays don't have both of these.

But this play makes you think a little, along with having some good scenes."

After picking the play, Ashbrook had second thoughts, but now that production is in full swing, he likes it.

"It's much better now than when I first picked it. It might offend a few Catholics, but it has very strong performances."

Prices for "The Runner Stumbles" are $5 general admission and $4 for students and seniors.
