"Children: Our Investment in the Future" is the theme as Palomar celebrates the "Week of the Young Child,"with Child Development Center activities scheduled for April 26 from 9 a.m. to noon under the clock tower. The annual celebration is sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and its affiliate groups, according to Nadine Abbott, director of the Child Development Center. The celebration, sponsored by the Child Development Department and the Friends of the Child Development Center, will include activities, exhibits and special events available free of charge to children and their parents.
Matriculation Freshmen will be provided with more opportunities to clarify their educational and career goals through a new matriculation program planned by the Counseling Department. This program is scheduled to begin this summer or fall, because it will become mandatory by state law in the future. "Students often tend to waste time in their first year at Palomar because they have not obtained proper educational planning," says Inder Singh, director of Counseling, Guidance and Career Guidance. The new matriculation process will enable counselors to monitor students more closely. Freshman will receive more testing and individual attention. Students will be encouraged to discover their immediate goals and prepare their collegiate transfer in the future.
Camera loans Your favorite aunt has just arrived for a visit and you want to take some photos of her, but have no camera. You could look up "Cameras Rental" in the Yellow Pages, or you could check out a camera from the library. That's right, the library has four Polaroid cameras that can be checked out at no charge for three days and can be renewed. The Polaroids are 600 Land Cameras which come with their own flash attachment, carrying case and instruction booklet. You provide your own film.
To check out a camera, ask at the main circulation desk on the second floor.
Counseling Students seeking counseling for the summer semester are encouraged to make their counseling appointments this month. In the upcoming weeks counseling will be available two or three days after scheduling your appointment. Often students will wait until just before the beginning semester to make their appointments and this makes it difficult to receive counseling promptly.
ASB elections Anyone interested in running for an elected Associated Student Body position should pick up a packet from Marilyn Lunde in R-32. There is a mandatory meeting for all interested persons today in the Student Government office, next door to the T.V. room at 12 noon.

Musicians offered MTV spot Looking for your "big break?" If you are, Palomar is sponsoring a "Claim to Fame" contest which could put your music on MTV (Music Television Channel)!

The winner's entry will be professionally taped and marketed by Palomar. It will be featured repeatedly during a fall semester recruitment push of MTV, local radio and the college television station. The winner will also be featured on an upcoming episode of "Palomar This Week," a weekly television program aired Sundays at 8 p.m. on cable 3. Artists need to submit their compostion on video or audio cassette tape to the Palomar College Public Information Office by April26. The top three vote-getters will be invited to perform at Mayfair, an annual student activity week, scheduled this year for
May 7 through 9. The winner will be selected on the combined basis of that performance and the submitted cassette tape. College information that might be useful includes: Palomar is a public two-year community college; college colors - red/ silver; team symbol Comet; instructional areas - general, transfer, vocational, community service; location - San Marcos; campus landmarks - clock tower, geodesic dome gymnasium (the "Dome").

Annual event celebrates with activities
Campus fundraising attempts to aid a nine-month old boy who has deve-. loped a rare case of leukemia are in progress now, says wrestling coach John Woods, coordinator of the effort. Michael Samhammer, nine-month old son of Pete Samhammer, assistant wrestling coach, is being treated at the Great Ronald McDonald House in San Diego. He has contracted a rare form of leukemia, termed AM.L. (Mylogenetic
Monocytic) which affects the gran ulecytes. Michael, who has been in the hospital since the disease was discovered, is expected to stay in the hospital for a two-month treatment. According to Woods, Michael's prognosis is undecided as of now. Woods is coordinating a fundraising effort to assist the Samhammer family of the financial burden. Samhammer, as an hourly instructor, is not covered
for any medical expenses. This has put a tremendous financial hardship on the Samhammer family. Recently Woods sent out a letter through the staff mail soliciting donations. He said he has had a good response so far. If you would like to donate financially to the aid of this family, please forward any contribution to the Athletic Department, C/0 John Woods, wrestling coach.
Exhibits and informational materials provided by the Oceanside Library, Child Care Resource Service of San Diego and the San Diego County Department of Public Health regarding children, health and safety, child care and child advocacy, as well as children's art work from the Child Development Center will be displayed in the Student Union. Proceeds from a bake sale sponsored by the center's Parent Advisory Council will go to benefit the center. " 'The Week of the Young Child' is a time for communities across the country to reflect on the needs and rights of our children," said Abbott. "We should take this time to examine how well we care for and educate America's future adults, leaders and parents, and to renew our commitments to improve the quality of opportunities for all children and their families ."

MOVIE REVIEW
'Ladyhawke' blends lovers, magic, fantasy and romance By Lou Verret If you enjoy well told stories that blend magical spells with real characters set in days of old, you won't mind plunking down your cash to see "Ladyhawke," an absorbing movie that's fun and enjoyable for all ages. The expertly paced plot never allows our interest to falter and keeps us intrigued from its beginning. Set in Europe after the Crusades, the focus is on two lovers, Navarre (Rutger Hauer) and Isabeau (Michelle Pfeiffer), who are under an evil Bishop's spell. Simple and enchanting, this spell reaches the child in us that loves the fascination of such rare and mystical events. A young thief named Phillipe (Mathew Broderick) is the link between the lovers who are never apart, yet never together (some enchanting spell, right?), and it's through his eyes that we see the story unfold. Both funny and tender, Broderick's performance as the nimble and quick, but sensitive, Phillipe, is superb. He touchingly brings out the uncertainties and vulnerabilities of his character as we follow him from one escapade to another chuckling at his short, one-way dialogues with God. As the old priest, Imperious, who unintentionally, years before, helped bring about the misfortune of the two lovers, Leo McKern is
fine and believable in his supporting role. So is John Wood as the angular, sharp-featured Bishop whose love for Isabeau and angry jealousy comes across so well. The trio's quest to break the spell, or end their lives trying, leads them to Imperious who is unable to convince Navarre the spell can be ended only in one way on one given day which is soon forthcoming. Edward Khmara's story has an exciting climax that matches its well-crafted preceding action. "Ladyhawke" is visually beautiful as well. More than enough to satisfy the magical quality of the story are panoramic vistas, richly golden-colored landscapes, fog shrouded woods and snowy forests. There are also authentic villages and costumes that don't detract from the setting and shots of distant castles on hilltops that match our expectations of what these times really looked like in our storybooks. But without the animals in this movie powerful effects would be missing. Here th~ photography is at its best with fascinating shots of a hawk flying directly into the camera, a black wolf that blends into the dark woods at night, and a proud black horse whose name Goliath, fits the immensity of this animal. ' Director Richard Donner deserves praise for a film that epitomizes pure fantasy and entertainment.
Familiar urge sprouts in spring By Marilyne Mancino It's spring again and that old familiar urge has come over me. No, not that one. And it's not Padre fever either. ' What I was thinking of was the hankering to plant a garden. Why, I'm not sure. It must be some primordial instinct that surfaces when the air is fragrant and the soil soft and warm. At any rate, before I know what's happening,
I'm up to my arm pits in steer manure and mushroom compost. Strangely enough, I prefer traveling much more. That's why I don't understand why I tie myself down all summer. All I know is that while my friends are cruising Alaska's inland passageways, I'll probably be cruising Nurseryland searching for gopher purge. And while they're gazing with proper awe at the Grand Canyon, I'll be picking three-inch tomato worms off my plants and smashing snails with my shoes. Actually, it's not all that bad when you think of harvest time. Of course, I always overplant zucchini. Did you ever notice that one day they're two inches long and in two more days they've matured to green baseball bats? Last year I gave so many to my neighbors they fled in fright when they saw me approaching with a bag under my arm. Come to think of it, the year before it was lemon cucumbers that turned them off. Really, all I want to do is share the fruits of my labors. So this summer come on over and pick up a sack of rutabagas. A bag of leeks? On second thought, I've never been to the Carlsbad Caverns.

Rainbow women hope for golden future By Linda Laws Cathy Lewis sits behind a desk laughing freely. With her pretty smile and long, full hair she could easily pose for a hair commercial. But Cathy will have to wait on that. Right now she is serving time at Rainbow Conservation Camp, a Correctional Institution for women felons.
Lewis is one of approximately 80 women chosen, based on a point system, to serve her time fighting wildland fires. Rainbow Conservation Camp is the only women's wild-land Fireflghting Camp in the nation, according to Fire Captain Jim Wright, training officer for the last four and a half years. Rainbow Camp is jointly administered by the California Department of Forestry and the Department of Corrections. It was one of the original 17 men's conservation camps in the system fighting wild -land fires throughout California. In October of 1983 the prison opened up to women, and to the surprise of even those involved, became a success. The camp is being used as a model for other camps across the nation. There are no guns visible and no cells at the camp. The beauty and tranquility of the surrounding mountains make it easy to understand why the women are happy they were chosen for the camp program.
Cathy Lewis (above) does some accounting behind her desk at Rainbow Camp. Another inmate (right) is dressed in full firefighting gear. Women (lower right) swing into action at a designated work area. One worker (lower left}, silhouetted against a late afternoon sky, surveys a day's work.
The 75 cents an hour the woman get when they are on the fire line barely compensates for the grueling, sometimes dangerous hours they put in on the fire-line. But though their job is strenuous it is also self gratifying. Lewis feels she is really doing something worthwhile for the community. The facts back her up . Rainbow Camp has more frre-line hours than any of the other 16 camps in California. She talks about the time she spent nine succesive days on the fire-line from four in the morning until five in the afternoon. There are eight Fire Captains at the camp and a total of four crews. There are 17 people in each crew and at least two crews for every fire. The women have formed a unique support system while on the fire-line. Each woman has her own job to do. After working an eight-hour day approximately one third of the women also attend evening college classes at Rainbow Camp. 1¡he courses are taught by Palomar College instructors who must be willing to make the 45 minute drive from Palomar to Rainbow. According to Cherie Barker, director of the Palomar program, the instructors must also be flexible because the women may be called to fight a fire at a moment's notice. The women take classes in practical skills, job hunting techniques and parenting to prepare them for the time when they will be released. Before being fire-line ready the women must successfully complete a fire science course for which they receive college credit. They must also be able to hike four miles in army boots with 30 pounds of fire fighting gear in 72 minutes. The women stay in condition with hikes, aerobic exercises, and a physical fitness training program. The training program involves Mike Curran, physical fitness instructor at Palomar as a consultant. These convicted felons, who are pioneering the road for women in nontraditional occupations are proud of their accomplishments since coming to the camp. "Things are 100% better here" smiles Yvonne Miranda, who has been at the camp for two months. "The people that work here are very nice."

Softba II team beats top-ranked Fullerton By Paul Taylor
Laura Perez drove in the winning run and Danena Badillo ftred a fivehitter as Palomar's softball team upset Fullerton, the state's top-ranked team, 4-1 Monday afternoon. Badillo surrendered a run in the bottom of the third inning, but held the powerful hosts scoreless the rest of the way to earn the win. At the time, that run put Fullerton on top 1-0, but the Comets finally broke through in the sixth inning to score all of their runs. Offensively for coach Mark Eldridge's team, Jo Marie Kube led the way with a pair of singles. Perez also had two hits, and it was her single that drove in what proved to be the winning run in the sixth inning. Overall, Palomar managed seven hits for the game. Sophomore Marissa Hurtado drove in the tying run in the sixth and Perez followed with the run-scoring hit of

her oWn, giving the Comets a lead Badillo made stand. Marina Gault provided the Comets with some insurance by coming through with another run-producing hit. Those three hits were the only hits Palomar managed in the sixth, but they were more than enough. With the win, Palomar improved its record to 21-15 overall and 6-2 in Paciftc Coast Conference play. The Comets, currently rated 16th in the state, are still in second place. "But I think," Eldridge began, "with this win, we shouldn't have any problems getting into the playyoffs as an at-large team. They seem like they're peaking right now, which is obviously just at the right time. "They played real well on Monday against a very good team and they have been playing well for awhile. The loss to Mesa really hurt us, but it looks like the girls have rebounded well from it."
By Paul Taylor Better late than never. Through two innings of Tuesday night's Paciftc Coast Conference battle between the Comets and rival MiraCosta, the Spartans led 7-2. After eight innings, it was 7-3. That's when the Comets' alarm clock apparently went off. The Palomar team, staring the prospect of losing to an 8-18 team in the face, did an about-face - real quickly. The visitors struck for five runs in the top of the ninth inning, saw the Spartans come back and tie it in the bottom of the ninth, and then added two more in the tenth to win a wild and impressive 10-8 decision. Starting pitcher Steve Kovensky out of Poway High School, lasted into the seventh inning. He gave seven of the eight runs, but received little support from his defense, as Palomar committed four errors.
Kovensky entered the contest with a 7-5 record overall and an earned run average of 2.76. In conference action, though, he was 4-3 with a 2.67 at press time.
Soph Koi Wooten tours with women cagers Sophomore Koi Wooten will be a member of a U.S. women's basketball team that will compete abroad in late June and early July against the Hong Kong Amateur Basketball Association's national team. The U.S. squad, which will be guided by Myron Brown, the head basketball coach at Santa Ana College, will leave Los Angeles by plane on June 26 and return July 5. Wooten, a 6-foot forward from Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, averaged more than 19 points and 15 rebounds per game during the 198485 seaason to lead coach Terri Bamford's Comets to an 18-8 overall record and a 12-0 Paciftc Coast Conference mark as Palomar rolled to the PCC title with a four-game spread over San Diego Mesa. She was a first-team AllPCC selection. Upon her graduation from high school in 1979, Wooten joined the Army, where she was most valuable player for her basketball team in Korea and for two seasons at Fort Bliss, Texas. She is a transfer student from Texas-El Paso. "Koi's maturity and experience as a player were major keys to our success," Bamford said. "She was our strongest rebounder and a powerful inside player. Koi works hard and knows what it takes to win. She should be a great representative on our women's team that will play in China." Brown said Wooten was named to the all-star squad on the basis of her
ability and citizenship, adding that the Comet star will be required to raise her own expenses -- $1,595 including round-trip airfare, hotels, meals, internal transportation, sightseeing, tips, and taxes. Wooten hopes to help defray the costs through a series of contributions from local area clubs and organizations, businesses and individuals.
Registration intent cards for summer and fall 1985 have been mailed to all officially enrolled students. Those planning on taking summer classes should turn their card, or application, into the Admissions Office before June 10 for an appointment date.

Offensively, Palomar had little trouble. The Comets rapped out 16 hits. Steve Fields led the charge. He was 3-for-5 with three singles and drove in two runs. It also increased his hitting streak to seven games, during which time he has 10 hits in 19 atbats, improving his batting average even more. It rested at .315 going into that game in conference action. Palomar is currently 9-6 in conference play and 13-12-Loverall.

The group is also hoping to re-lime the "P" on top of Palomar Mountain sometime this semester. Circle K's meetings are held on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. in B-3. A monthly social meeting is also planned in the evening for those who can not make the other meetings. Anyone interested in joining or finding more information about the club is invited to participate in any activity and/ or come to the meetings. Its members John Smylie, a business law instructor on campus, and William Streshly, San Marcos school superintendent, suggested the birth of Circle K. According to Peter Gonzalez, vice president of Circle K, "The Kiwanis found that there was a need for service, leadership and fellowship on campus" which Circle K offers. "It provides students an opportunity to use experience and college background to identify needs on campus and in the community." He continued, "There was a great
need for a service club to help ftll the need." According to Gil Noble, Circle K supervisor and business instructor, "It is quite an organization. You get a good connection with the business people which can be very beneficial." Gonzalez added that there is a wide variety of fields represented in the Kiwanis club.
