Speech team third best at US nationals McKinney added, "It was pretty tight."

Bishop stated that they have had stronger teams but "not as inexperienced. Last time we were national champs (1980), most of the team was second year." This year, however, they had fifty more points than in that winning year.

Bishop offered the explanation that while there were less people competing, they were the better teams.

California, Southern California specifically, is the toughest region. "They were predominately California nationals," McKinney said.

In the national competition, speech teams from junior and community colleges compete intensely for five days in the various events. Each

"We did better than I'd hoped," said a satisfied Bruce Bishop, forensic's coach of the squad's third place sweepstakes in the U.S. National Speech Championships.

Competing Easter Week, Monday through Friday, the speech team as a whole garnered a third with five individuals placing first, including Nicky Blair and Bill McKinney. ''The competition this year was harder. California is harder. Seven of the top ten teams were from California and many wouldn't have gone if it had been somewhere else . . . Last year four teams tied for first ... Throughout competition it is always the same schools that win," reflected Blair.

individual competes against speakers from outside their region three times and the semi-finals are chosen.

The Reader's Theater, a group that performs a short play, and debaters compete in six heats before a quarterfinal is chosen, followed by two groups in the semi-finals. The Reader's Theater won third place, performing "Arthur: A Once and Future King".

Kathy Waste, coordinator and director of the Reader's Theater, explained their successful season. "We have some very talented actors in our group. They work very hard and put in a lot of time practicing.

"The last few weeks before competition I predicted we'd finish in the top five ... the students demonstrated a strong desire to win. They sacrifice

weekends and free time because it's a valuable activity and invaluable experience," Bishop expounded.

The years behind the team's coaches totals over thirty-five, but Blair explained that while much is to be attributed to the coaches, a lot depends on the speaker.

"The Reader's Theater is pure coaching. With a good speaker and a good coach, well . . . the speaker's effort must be there. You must be prepared to give up a lot of weekends, free time ... sleep time," she laughed.

Any disappointments in the tournament results were overshadowed by the success they achieved. Dr.Pat Mills, another team coach, said that it is a tribute to the team, but that it is

somewhat distressing to be so close to second. Orange Park and Moorpark Colleges, both from Southern California, placed first and second, with Palomar very close behind Moorpark.

Bishop emphasized, though, that the winning teams deserved it.

Looking at next year, Mills says the future is bright, although they can always use more people.

Bishop added, "Most of our speakers come from Speech 1 classes. Every student can compete."

This summer they'll work for the fall with about five to ten returning speakers, "probably about half," said Mills.

Dr. Mills put it best in summary. "I was very impressed with the competition. The team did very well."

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Mistaken identity irks Mel -~no, Frank

By Jerry Reyes Take a look at the face up there at the top of this column. Does that look like anyone who would be called Frank or Mel? I don't think so, either. But I am stuck with a problem that some of you out there may identify with.

That is, I keep getting mistaken for other people.

Being mistaken for someone else may not seem that bad to you, but to me it is extremely annoying. I wouldn't mind being mistaken for Paul Newman or even Tom Selleck, but without some radical surgery I'm afraid that would be too much to hope for.

No, in the looks department I resemble (quite strongly, as it turns out) a person named Frank, last name unknown. Frank lives in Escondido like I do and apparantly grows his beard to coincide with the times that I grow mine. He wears the same type of glasses that I (rarely) wear. I've been called Frank so many times in the street that I now answer to it.

One of these days that's going to get one of us in a lot of trouble. I only hope that Frank doesn't go out and dismember the local Kiwanis chapter or leave witnesses who have seen his (our?) face.

Another person I don't think I resemble, but certainly sound like is Mel Brooks. If I need to get a laugh out of anyone, all I have to do is leer a bit and say, "It's good to be the King." Never fails.

The reason I said I didn't think I resembled him is that I was once mistaken for him, as

well. I had gone to see a Mel Brooks movie (natch) and found myself sitting behind two young ladies who kept shooting covert glances my way and then engaging in furious bouts of whispering. I managed to overhear occasional remarks such as "That's him. It's gotta be" and "It sounds just like him." This delusion was probably assited by the fact that I had chosen to dress as Mel Brooks' character from ¡ the movie currently being shown.

Once in a while, I would hear doubts being voiced on the basis that a big movie producer wouldn't bother to show up in Poway just to see a movie he made. These arguments were countered by the previous arguments for my being who they thought I was. I decided to settle the matter in true Brooksian fashion.

I leaned over and said to the girls, "It's not really me. I just sound like me." After this statement, of course, they were convinced I was Mel Brooks. "That's something he would say!"

It should be noted, however, that Mel Brooks and I can only be mistaken for each other in the dark. That's an insult to one of us, but I'm not sure which.

In some cases, I don't mind being mistaken for others. Those are the times that I wish my anonymity to be preserved. Besides, if I can pass myself off as someone else, I could get away with murder!

It's good to be the King.

NEXT WEEK . . . . . . . . . . . An apology about the buffalo-training article.

Grocery shopping loses entertainment appeal

By Marilyne Mancino As I may have mentioned before, my entertainment requirements are minimal. Even if I can't have a loaf of bread and a jug of wine, I've been known to settle for a bagel, a beer and Bob Newhart.

Even going to the supermarket used to be fun for me.

While we're talking about it, have you noticed those nerds that circle the parking lot four or five times to find a space smack dab in front of the store rather than walk an extra hundred feet? Personally, I think they're the same bozos that are too lazy to return their carts to the rack. Instead, they let them crash into your fender and never look back.

At any rate, times have changed. Time was, I went to the grocery store to relax especially in the summer. The air conditioning was on and the music was by Muzak.

Sometimes I even caught myself maneuvering my cart to the rhythm of a catchy samba.

It was nice to greet old friends and pass the time of day while pinching the peaches.

But with the advent of higher prices and

limited time frames, shopping has become a grim business. Now I catch myself scuttling to and fro trying to pick up the specials and furtively darting down the bottled water and generic food aisles when I spot an acquaintance.

I guess I'm just a griper, but just the other day someone told me the stores are set up by promotional experts so you buy more, and I believe it. Why else would I go to get milk at the back of the store and come out with a jar of jalapeno-flavored matzo balls under my arm?

Another thing that burns my socks is queuing up in the eight-items-or-less cash line and finding out that two people ahead of me there's a bimbo with 47 articles, an out of state personal check and a winning bingo card, pretending he wandered into the wrong checkout.

What nerve.

At least that day there was a bright side to the delay. I didn't have to buy the Enquirer that week.

Or the Reader's Digest, for that matter . . .

Suicide pills bad alternative

By Sabrina M. Messenger Recently, students at Brown University in Rhode Island circulated a petition requesting that administration of that school provide the students with suicide pills in the event of a nuclear attack.

I was both pleased and appalled by the students action. It was great to see students concerned for something beside beer busts.

Should colleges provide suicide pills to students? No way! This idea could lead to a "die at any crisis" mentality.

I tried to imagine people having this attitude if they could foresee turning points in American history, but I could not. Picture the Navy drinking poisoned pineapple juice on December 7, 1941. Dumb? Of course it is.

How about the Boston Tea Party?

Supposed the patriots chose to drink doctored

tea instead of dumping it into the harbor? We'd probably still be part of the colonies.

Facetiousness aside, I feel that Benjamin Franklin's words, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" applies today. We can prevent a nuclear war.

Some people get upset over President Reagan's "Star Wars" plan, but I'd rather have it then to have the Soviet Union use us as a real life video game where everyone loses.

Soviet leaders have consistently proven to be untrustworthy--all the way back to the czars. If people honestly :believe that the U.S. should totally demilitarize and take the U.S.S.R. at her word, then they are not seeing the entire picture.

Suicide pills indeed! Remember Jonestown, 1978? I don't believe that our nation was founded on the right to death, bondage, and the pursuit of unhappiness. Let's begin to find a workable plan for peace, so that "Star Wars" or suicide pills will be unnecessary.

On Sunday we'll go 'a-mothering'

By Sabrina M. Messenger Mother's day has been around for as long as there have been mothers. True or False?

Actually, both answers are correct. The ancient Greeks may not have served their mothers breakfast in bed, but they sure knew how to throw a party. During their spring festivals designed to honor the goddess Cybele, the great parent of gods and humanity, the priests and priestesses celebrated these rites with plenty of music, dancing, and drinking. Sometimes they caused violence to self and others.

The Church, disapproving of such orgies, tried to encourage people to worship Mary, the mother of Christ. Mothering Sunday, held on the fourth Sunday of Lent, was celebrated in England. Students, apprentices, and servants would go "a-mothering," visiting their mothers and presenting them with bouquets of violets and mothering cake, a rich plum pudding decorated with scallops.

Mother's Day, as we know it. had its roots

in 1907 when Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia arranged to have a memorial service in Grafton, West Virginia, for her mother, who died a year earlier. Miss Jarvis, who never was a mother, organized a national and international campaign to have one day set aside to honor all mothers. Her efforts were successful. In 1912, the governor of Texas observed Mother's day by pardoning several prisoners, Pennsylvania was the first to make it a state holiday in 1913, and in 1914 President Woodrow Wilson designated the second Sunday in May "as a public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country."

Today, Mother's Day is celebrated in varied ways. Some families have reunions or call home (next to Christmas, Mother's day-is the busiest day for the telephone company), children make homemade gifts, carnations are worn to honor mothers. Red if your mother is still alive, white if she is not. Cards are always sent.

Ken Theater offers fans a change

By Lou Verret One of the oft-heard complaints about the movies today is that there is little from which to choose, since no matter where you look the same current releases are being shown all over San Diego County.

One very good solution to this dilemma for avid movie goers is the Ken Cinema on Adams Avenue in San Diego. It is a one of a kind repertoire art theater that has satisfied the tastes of film buffs for years.

The variety of films offered by the Ken (short for Kensington) is a delight. Classics, wellknown box office biggies, small quality films ignored by the larger chain theaters, cult films and foreign films are standard fare.

Unique to the Ken is their informative film calendar that lists the upcoming movies for several weeks in advance. Each film is given a short description and some are reviewed more extensively by noted film critics. The calendar is free at the theater; however, for $5 it will be mailed to you for one year. Free passes accompany the first issue you receive.

The value dollar-wise is outstanding as well.

Most of the time two features play each night for a $3 admission, compared to $5 at most theaters showing only one movie that is a gamble many times as to quality.

atmosphere at the Ken that one doesn't experience at other theaters, a kind of enthusiasm for film in general.

Those accustomed to the modern trappings of the chain theaters may be taken aback somewhat by this old movie house, but there are those who say it adds to the flavor of the movie-going experience. So does the real butter on their popcorn.

Protzman, Kube: Comets' dynamic duo

By Paul Taylor

~

They say - whoever 'they' are that there is a reason for everything.

A reason for Howard Cosell's mouth, a reason for decaffeinated coffee, a reason for George Steinbrenner to be on this earth, a reason for the United States Football League. A reason for everything.

If such really is the case, then there must be a reason for the success Palomar's softball team enjoys in 1985, as it ranks among the top junior college contingents in the state.

There is. Two reasons, actually.

They're named Samantha Protzman and Joe Marie Kube.

Together this season, Protzman and Kube have given opposing teams one big headache after another. Kube, the leadoff batter, had done her job, namely to get on base. Protzman, in turn, has done hers. Namely, to make sure Kube doesn't stay on base very long.

Between them, they lead the team in just about every offensive category.

But then again, between them, they lead the team. Period.

Kube has been one of the more pleasant surprises for coach Mark Eldridge this year. She has batted around .300 all year long, which is nice.

The long-legged sophomore has also used her speed to advantage, having stolen 11 bases in 12 tries at last count.

But it's the other things she has done that have made Eldridge happy. · Her four home runs lead the team. Her 21 runs batted in are second. But bear in mind this is a lead-off hitter we're talking about. And her 29 runs scored are also tops on the team.

Protzman is another player altogether. She leads the team in hits ( 42), at-bats (119), runs batted in (26), batting average (.353), on-base percentage (.491) and stolen bases (14).

She has even posted a 6-1 record as a pitcher.

At press time, it was not yet official.

The Comets had not yet been accepted as an at-large berth into the Southern California Regional tournament. But such an election was considered to be a mere formality. And for the Comets to have a showing in the tournament anywhere near last year's finish (second in the regionals, third in the state), there is little question as to what will have to happen.

Protzman and Kube will have to be at their best.

For both of them, this season continues to be something of a 'payback' year, although for different reasons.

"Sam was having a great year last year," Eldridge recalled. "She was hitting way over .330 and was going well, when she broke her thumb at the end of the season and had to miss the regionals."

"She's had a real fine sophomore season," he said. "I know she was real disappointed last year with the injury and having to sit out, but she's really come back strong.

"It was real tough," she said. "I tried not to show my emotions on the field, just rooted the players on. But I felt so bad, so helpless. I just went home and cried a lot. I tried not to get so down, especially around my teammates, but it wasn't easy."

If she could handle something like that, though, one can imagine how well she's handled opposing pitching.

Piece of cake, huh? Not really. Especially at the beginning of the season.

She started the season well, but soon afterwards fell into what became the longest slump of her career. It eventually reached 20 at-bats without a hit.

"There's nothing much you can do about something like that," she said.

"You just learn to live with it and realize that you can't go oh-for-therest-of-your-life. It sure lasted a long

time, though.

"I got a lot of blisters out of that slump," she said (translation: she spent many hours at the batting cages).

At least, however, she was playing, which is not something she did a whole lot of last year.

"I hurt my back at the beginning of the season," she explained. "And when I finally got back, I had to fight for my position (first base). Then came the injury with my fmger. It wasn't a fun season."

Despite the fact that her performance earned her a second team AllPacific Coast Conference selection, Protzman was looking for bigger things this year. She has produced them, too, and nobody would know better than Eldridge.

"I live my life for softball," she said.

"I love it. Whatever happens with my life or career or whatever, I'll probably always be involved in softball."

Her involvement this year has been unquestioned, as has been the case with her abilities. And Protzman SLUGGER - Third baseman SamantJw, Protzman leads the team in knows how to use those abilities.

"My role offensively is to drive in just about every offensive category.

The Telescope, Friday, May 10, 1985

New home sought for artifacts

By Jeannie Carter

SCANNING THE PAST- Dr. Dennis 0 'Neil of the Behavioral Sciences Department examines one of the artifacts he wishes to place in a proposed on-campus museum.

Several hundred thousand artifacts are looking for a home.

Dr. Dennis O'Neil, Behavioral Science Department, and Steven Crouthamel, American Indian Studies, have proposed a plan for a museum to be built on campus.

According to O'Neil, these artifacts have been collected over the years.

"Since 1975 we have had an active archeological excavation program and we excavated all over North County. As a result, we've accumulated several hundred thousand items."

These items are now being stored in several rooms in the BE building.

"Most of these artifacts," says O'Neil, are not of museum quality, but a number of them are."

The museum is still in the preliminary stage and will remain at this stage until the financial backing comes through.

"The museum itself is a major project," according to O'Neil. "We are talking about a structure that will cost several millions to build. All of the money we get to build the museum must come from private donations. It cannot be paid for out of state funding."

According to O'Neil, an organization called the Palomar College Development Foundation is assigned to raise the funding money needed to start the museum. "They are a group of citizens who work to get money for such things

as this. They are the body that would provide the funds."

"An idea for a museum is not new.

As early as 1976 there was discussion on building a museum, but was not pursued because of lack of funds. But North County has grown tremendously since then and our chances for private donations may be better this time."

If the funding money comes through, the museum will be built in several phases. The preliminary design as envisioned by O'Neil will be built in three different stages. The first stage will consist of the following rooms: a large display room, a large collection room, several workrooms and offices, restrooms and a sales counter.

The second stage would consist of a large lecture hall for student lectures. The third stage would consist of storage and display area "But all of this is just a proposal.

It's still in the preliminary phase because we haven't received any money yet."

O'Neil forsees private collectors and major museums wanting to display their material in the proposed museum. "As soon as you set up a museum, you get large amounts of donations from people with private collections wishing to display their items. Also, the major museums in California are anxious to display their materials which are stored in their warehouses. In addition, we could get

permanent loans from them as well."

The location that has been selected for the museum site is next to the arboretum on the north side of the campus. Running trails will go through the arboretum from the museum for a self-guided tour.

Particular emphasis will be placed on the study of people- past, present, with special concern of the native people of Southern California It will be an institution open to students and the public. In addition, it will also serve as a repository for collections at archeological and historic sites that have to be excavated as a result of construction in North County.

"There is no time frame at this point for when things will happen," says O'Neil. "It is not definite that a museum will even be built. It all depends on the Palomar Development Foundation's ability to raise the funds.

Journalist gets grant Cyndie Claypool, a freshman student from Vista, received a $200 scholarship from the North County Press Club at the organization's annual awards banquet.

The money has been designated to be used by Claypool to continue her pursuits in journalism at Palomar next fall. She was nominated for the award by journalism instructor Fred Wilhelm.

Remodeling centralizes handicapped services

by Sean Grady Spring is the season of change, of exchanging the old for the new.

Nature is exchanging the cool, cloudy skies of winter for the clear, sunny skies of summer. Students are exchanging skiing gear for surtboards.

And Handicapped Student Services is exchanging its old office arrangement for a new one.

When Health Services, now located in R-1, moved to the old library building, the half of the HH building it vacated was given to Handicapped Student Services, which, at the time, occupied the other half of the building.

Since March, the interior of the HH building has been remodeled, giving Handicapped Student Services more room for many activities and increasing the accessability to these activities for the students. These improvements have also allowed Handicapped Student Services to bring together various services which were previously scattered around the campus.

According to Eugene R. Zevin, director of Handicapped Student Services, when Handicapped Student Services was set up in 1975 it occupied an office "which wasn't much larger than a counsellor's office today.

"We gradually expanded - added new activities and new staff members.

But our difficulty ... was that we were dispersed in no fewer than three ... different locations."

The main problem with that arrangement was the minimum of communication between the various rooms.

Now, this problem has been alleviated.

"I think it's going to prevent many opportunities from falling through the cracks," said Zevin, "because when you ask a student to go see a counsellor . . . and you have to add 'Well, in order to find this person, you walk two blocks this way, or half a block that way, and then knock on the door and say, "Joe sent me,"' it discourages ... the operation.

"From the standpoint of the staff, it's going to facilitate getting things done much more rapidly.

"And I think that the students are going to find that the benefits accrue to them, in the sense that ... it's just

going to be more convenient (for them) ... to accomplish whatever it is that they have in mind."

Millie Morales, a 25-year-old student in her third year who relies mostly upon her wheelchair to get around, is in accord with that statement.

"I like it (the new interior)," said Morales. "It gives you more room for your wheelchair ... It's much nicer the way it's arranged now."

Before the modifications took place, it was harder for students like Morales to see counsellors in the HH building, because of the size and arrangement of the doors and hallways. With the expansion into the new space, the doors and hallways have been redone to allow better access for students who use wheelchairs or similar aids.

Ronald Haines, one of the counsellor/ enablers for the the handicapped in Handicapped Student Services, said that there were times when passage through the main room of the old HSS office was almost blocked by wheelchairs. Now, said Haines, not only will this problem be solved, but the students will "have more room to do wild student things."

But while the students will get more centrally located rooms for their therapeutic, academic, and social activities, Handicapped Student Services has had an overall decrease in space, due to its loss of its other rooms around the campus.

"In our prior dispersed state," said Zevin, "we had greater square footage overall than we do now." Before the changes, Handicapped Student Services was located in TCA-1 (in the Tutorial Center), in R-1 , and in the former Audio-Visual space in the old library, as well as in its half of the HH ¡ building.

However, given the centralization of the services Handicapped Student Services offers, along with the improved accessability the students now have, Zevin feels "that, on the balance, we are much better off than we were previously. I think the disadvantages are outweighed by the advantages."

Said Zevin, "The staff members are very pleased with the changes."
