Gregoryk faces funding enigma By Cyndie Claypool
Lack of funding faces Mike Gregoryk, the new business manager, as his m~or obstacle. "One of the biggest problems we face in the community college system is the lack of funds," Gregoryk says. "I think we're not dealing with enough resources," he continues. "But there really isn't any immediate solution." Gregoryk plans to deal with the finances by analyzing the situation and the staff. A large portion of his job consists
of budgeting. The state gives $35 million to Palomar for its total operation from the president's salary to the custodian's pay to the electricity bill. Moreover, the lack of funds for Palomar's parking situation is another trouble area, according to Gregoryk "I think parking is just a problem, period," he says. The proceeds from the $7 parking fee over the past years do not go very far, according to him. The exact figures from the parking fee will be available later this month. During a school break, probably
Christmas, one of the student parking lots will be resurfaced, a "really expensive" project, Gregoryk explains. As far as paving the dirt lots below student parking lot 5, Gregoryk does not have any current plans since funds are not available. Two other definite projects dealing with parking are the installation of a storm sewer and the opening of Las Posas Road. The latter would be done in conjunction with the city of San Marcos to give more accessibility to the parking lots by creating another entrance. However, according to Gregoryk,
GiD TltE TElEscopE Vote, picnic, blood drive set for ASG By Colleen Riedell
October is going to be a busy month for the Associated Student Government, beginning with elections and ending with an All-School Picnic. With the student elections on October 7, 8 and 9 in the student union, a new, permanent board will be established to carry out the plans for the remainder of the school year. On Wednesday, the candidates presented their platforms, but they were unavailable at presstime. Senators' duties include participation in all activities, sponsored or organized by the ASG, fulfilling their office hour commitment, contributing to the ASG through publicity and/ or organization of an activity and participation in ASG meetings and decisions. The most recent developments in the student government is the ongoing project of redecorating the student union and the student lounge. The "cafeteria" portion will sport new paint, plants and wall decor. The lounge is proposed to receive new furniture and video movies, which will be voted on by the new senators after these proposals and financial expenditures are presented mid-October. A Blood drive on October 28 is planned. "It is more of a community service than anything else. They can pump 15,000 people here. It's great", Kim Scanlan, ASG president explained. Judicial Advocate Elizabeth Gambrel and Sandy Trevisan are planning the All-School Picnic on Halloween Day, October 31. Their plans include a staff and student costume contest.
Degree deadline Applications for certificates and the Associates in Arts degrees for the fall semester must be submitted to the Records Office by October 15. Forms are available at the Records Office.

"We're involved with the student body a lot more" said Lance West, new Program Director at radio station KKSM. "We give them what they want." There have been numerous changes at KKSM cable 99. It shows with four formats, instead of one. "We are different from commercial stations. We offer a time for everyone's taste." The new schedule is the result of music research done last summer. Top 40 starts the day, from 7 a.m. to noon .. Alternative rock, which includes classic Beatles, Stones and Who, runs from noon to 8 p.m. Album oriented rock (like KGB), airs between 8 p.m. and the 11 p.m. sign-off. The disc jockey is free to pick two of every six songs, any shift. "We even offer jazz all day Saturday,
Also, campus patrol is unable to help students with cars off-campus (i.e. to jump start a car). Besides facing a problem with funds, Gregoryk also cites a m~or problem in the business department. "The biggest problem I found was that everyone was going in different directions." He hopes to instill a unity in the various departments under him, such as accounting, purchasing, building and grounds, campus patrol, book store and the food services. One of Gregoryk's main emphasis is to let students know that he is willing to listen to them. "One of the things I would appreciate, being new here, is that students would talk to Kim Scanlan (Associated Student Government president) or myself." He continues, "Students are the reason we're here. I'm looking to be more responsive to them, having people know that my door is open." Also on his "to do" list is renovating the Student Union. Some ideas are to lower the ceiling and to put a fast food restaurant on campus. Gregoryk's "Wellness" program is another thing he hopes to implement in order to help faculty and administration get exercise and have a fun, healthy time. "I like working here," he summarized his new position since July 8. "It seems that people are very positive at Palomar, which I really like." The 33-year-old received his degree in business at Minot State College, Minot, N.D. Prior to attaining the position at Palomar, he served as vice-president of finance and administrative services at the Western Technical Community College Area in Scottsbluff, Nebraska
Old library completion set By Cyndie Claypool
Renovation of the old library is tenatively scheduled to be completed on December 12, according to Bryant Guy, director of purchasing services and business services. The library, which has been under construction since last May, will become the student services center, housing admission and records, counseling, registration, financial aids, student placement, career center, veterans services and a board conference room. Louetto Construction Company of Escondido won the bid for $1.4 million to carry out the "secondary effects" which resulted from the building of a new library, completed in 1983. Funds were allocated by the state to provide 90 percent of the costs. The other 10 percent was to be supplied
by the school district. According to facilities planner Dr. Tom Rose, one of the problems facing them now is the vacating of the administration buildings from services such as financial aid and counseling, which has a lot of space broken into small offices. Originally these rooms were to be reconstructed into additional class rooms. However, at the last minute, the legislature "shot down" Palomar's request for additional funds. Rose claims that they are still puzzling about the soon-to-be vacated rooms. Rose hopes to be able to lower expenditure by eliminating classes. The courses, probably English-as-aSecond Language and/ or Family Consumer Science, would be offered
KKSM-99's staff varies format By Monica Nash
that project should have been finished by now. To side-step the parking problem, some students park in the dirt lot adjacent to Palomar. Gregoryk stresses that the land is not owned by Palomar and the owner often complains about the cars parked on their land.
which no one else does and the news cast has changed, adding features, such as movie reviews and "What's Happening in North County." Listen for it mornings from 8:50 a.m. to 9 a.m." said West. He gives a lot of credit to the new staff. "Eric Cahill, Operations Manager, and I put the record library on computer. It took one and a half months and a few all-night sessions to get it done. Thanks also go to music . director Steve Peinetti, for the new ¡ line-up." Gina Caruso is Promotions Director. She has plans for more live remotes and covering public events. In sports Mike Trussel is also known as "Mr. Opinion. He turned the sports department around and has a very professional sound," commented West.
"We also owe a lot to Russ Jackson and Steve Adams on the Palomar staff. We couldn't have done it without them." West mentioned working with ASG president, Kim Scanlan, keeping informed on student government activities. The student response to the new KKSM has been enthusiastic, "Last year we got three or four calls for requests during a shift. Now the phone's ringing off the hook!" Even the advertisers have noticed the format change. "Our extra sponsors have enabled us to increase the live remotes," said West. "We have a trade-off with Carousel Cinema in Escondido and Rossi's Pizza. Watch for us to give away pizzas and movie tickets at the games."
on campus instead. The problem with this, according to Rose, is that the lease for the ESL classes has not terminated yet. The Master Planning Committee should make some final decisions in October or November, according to Rose.
Travel series starts Sunday For those with no time to travel this semester, Philip Walker's film, "Switzerland," may be the next best thing to actually being there. In addition to the standard tourist fare of abbeys, the Matterhorn, Swiss Army processions, and yodelers, Walker takes you to the Switzerland few see: Bern's clock inside and out, Mussolini's Zurich residence, and tons of gold, platinum, bank notes and coin collection in the sub-basement of the famed Swiss banks. Concerned about keeping customer identities confidential, bank employees told Walker while filming, "Please, if you film the front of the bank, don't take pictures of anyone coming out face forward." Viewers can: sail across Lake Constance, helicopter over Bern, sit in the best seats at the Fete de Vigneron festival at Vevey with 2000 actors and balloon across the Alps into Italy. Switzerland, the first of seven films in this travel series, shows October 6 at 1 and 3:30 p.m. in P-32. Individual and season tickets are available through the Community Education office. For tickets and information, call 744-1150, Ext. 2155.
