Competing against 55 California junior colleges and 650 journalism students, Telescope newspaper staff members won three awards at the annual Journalism Association of Community Colleges (JACC) Convention held in Fresno April19-21. The Telescope placed second three times, winning one staff and two individual awards. Taking a second-place trophy for headline writing, the Telescope was judged on accuracy, appropriateness, "ability to capture the lead and the reader into the story", grammar, and proper headline count for this category. Also placing second were Melanie Anderson and Gary Taylor for Investigative News Series. This category was judged on appropriateness and significance of topic, enterprise in reporting, depth of reporting, use of multiple news sources, factual support, accuracy, completeness, conciseness, fairness, grammar and writing style. For on-the-spot competition, Michael Goodman took second place in feature photography. This category was judged on aptness of subject, human interest, apparent planning and execution, use of camera controls and lighting, visual impact, story-telling ability, content composition and technical quality. Seven staff members attended the three-day conference: Editor Chris Reynolds, Managing Editor Melanie Anderson, Sports Editor Paul Taylor, Reporters Cyndie Claypool, Sean Grady and Jeannie Carter, Photographer Michael Goodman and Advisor Fred Wilhelm. "I'm proud of the staff and of the individual winners," Reynolds said. "The second place awards we won give us the recognition for our hard work. Rarely do we get any kind of compliments for what we do. It is especially gratifying to receive that recognition from our peers." "Once again the Telescope staffers have proven that they can compete with any community college newspaper in the state," said Fred Wilhelm, journalism advisor.

San Marcos,

Mayfair begins this Tuesday By Cyndie Claypool Mayfair is coming! This year's annual event, slated for May 7, 8 and 9, will encompass a variety of entertainment. Talented Mark Wenzel, the mime from Sea World, swap meet vendors, clubs, a talent search, bands, a fashion show and scores of other amusements will turn Palomar College into a "three ring circus," according to Bob Klug, ASB president and Mayfair chairperson. "This is gonna be wild," Klug excitedly said of Mayfair. "It's gonna be a ball." The three days of the fair will each feature different events. Tuesday's festivities will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a performance by the dance department in the lawn out front of the Student Union. The "Claim to Fame" contest is set for 10-11:30 a.m. by the clock tower. This will be a search to find a song for Palomar College. The winning group's video will be played on MTV. Any questions regarding "Claim to Fame" should be directed to the Public Information Office. From 12-1 p.m. will be the fashion show. This will be put on by Elegance, a modeling school in Oceanside. Klug feels that this will be a very well attended event. Tuesday will also feature the 5K run at 12 noon. Athletic instructor John Woods is in charge of this event. A local band called Friends will perform between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. for the first day. On Wednesday, the Palomar Choir will entertain from 10-10:30 a.m. The KCBQ Flatbed Band will play from 11-12:30 a.m.

A MAN BESIDE HIMSELF - Impressionist and mime Mark Wenzel will entertain May 9, the last day of Mayfair. Organizers expect the three day event to be the biggest ever.

12 noon will be marked by the chili cook-off. Applications can be found in R-30.

Thursday, between 9 and 11 a.m. Tobacco Road band will play and from 11-12 a .m. the Ricky Wells band (which used to be named "Ricky and the Jets") will drum-up a tune. The Culinary Arts Food Show will be an all-day feature with the club selling the food after it has been judged. Another all-day attraction will be Mark Wenzel, the mime who has performed at Sea World and has made some commercials. He will be around the Student Union between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and will also make a special appearance for the Children's Center. The three days will also feature clubs such as Alpha Gama Sigma, Cheerleaders, Chess Club, Circle K, Dance Club, Diesel Technology, Friends of the Library, MEChA, Patrons of Palomar, Phi Rho Pi, SNAP (nurses association) and the Undefeated Club. These organizations will be serving ice cream, popsicles, hot dogs and Pepsi, measuring blood pressure, taking Polaroid pictures, selling avocadoes, combination plates, books, boutique items, nachos and baked goods, having dunking booths and a car auction, holding drawings and releasing balloons. "Mayfair is a good excuse for clubs to raise money," explained Klug. Klug spent many weekends at swap meets and at Balboa Park searching for vendors who will add color to the fair. "We are very selective on who will be here," he said. Some of the vendors will be selling read-outs, hat pins, handmade items, scrimshaw! carvings, hats, visors and jewelry. Klug concluded, "There's gonna be a lot of action at Mayfair."

Two of a kin run for ASB vice-president By Cyndie Claypool Sibling rivalry takes on a new meaning as Mohanned and Nadia Almuzaini vie for the same Associated Student Body position of vice president. Both brother and sister are very competitive and neitherfeel bad about running against each other, they both said in separate interviews. "I don't feel bad about (running against Nadia) at all. I feel good about this," Mohanned said. "I wouldn't get upset if he won and I don't think he would get upset if I won," explained Nadia. "Either way I would consider myself winning," confirmed Mohanned. "If I lost to my sister I would feel a little bad, but I would be real hyper for my sister because she would get the experience." The Almuzainis moved from Kuwait, which is surrounded by Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the Persian Gulf, to the United States less than five years ago. Together, they graduated from Fallbrook High School in 1983. ¡ Because of the curriculum in Kuwait, it enabled the Arabians to graduate from California schoools at an early age. "In Kuwait we had one ot the hardest systems of education in the world," said 17 year-old Mohanned. His sister is 19.

Earlier this year, Mohanned, an accounting major, served as judicial advocate for the ASB, was then voted as chief judicial advocate and now presides as vice president. Mohanned is also the vice president of the reorganized Arab Club. Nadia, a business administration major, is the treasurer of that club which meets in R-16 at 10 a.m. on Wednesdays. Originally, Mohanned planned on running for ASB president, but he is hoping to receive a scholarship to attend the United States International University part-time next fall, while he continues at Palomar, and won't have as much time. Since Mohanned serves on ASB and has had a lot of contact with their constituiton, he has several alternative plans if he is voted in as vice president. First, he would like to change the type of music KSM, Palomar's radio station, plays. The ASB constitution is also on his agenda. "There are a lot of holes in it (the constitution)." he said. He wants to makes some amendments that would clarify some of the rules. One addition he is hoping for deals with the office hours ASB officials are supposed to serve. "They have to put in three hours every week. I want to make it clear what type of office hours they have.

We had a lot of trouble with this in the beginning of the year." Nadia, who also plans to receive a scholarship to attend USIU part-time, has a few plans of her own, too. She would like to have free movie videos in the T.V. room a couple days a week, have activities for night students and change some things in the Student Union. She feels that there could be a more welcoming atmosphere in the Student Union where students would want to congregate. Associated Student Body presi¡ dent and vice president elections are slated for May 6, 7, 8 and 9. The polls will be in the Student Union near the glass windows. This years boundary lines for those campaigning will be inside the Student Union . A picture of the persons running will be posted along with an optional statement. The elections will be held during Mayfair. Marilyn Lunde, Secretary of Dean of Students, hopes that this will raise the amount of student voters this year. The polls will be open from 8:301 p .m. and 6-8:30 p.m.

The trash cans are one of her complaints. The mouths of the cans are too small, she explained. The trays can't fit in the slots to clean them off. She also stated that she would like to see the type of music played by KSM changed. Nadia discussed her interest in running for vice president. "It's some kind of challenge. I like to challenge (Mohanned) to show him that a women can do it as well as a man." Nadia works in the library on campus and feels more independent than she did in Kuwait. "I feel so comfortable at Palomar. I spend most of my time here." Four days a week she is on campus from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mohanned has been helping Nadia by explaining his job as vice president to her. They are both helping each other with campaigning, according to Mohanned. "Some feel that one will be upset (after the elections) since we're running for the same position," said Mohanned, but they both confided that that won't be the case. If one, or both, are not chosen for vice president, they are planning to run for senators in the fall. ASB president and vice president elections are May 6, 7, 8 and 9.
