Safety, aesthet ics stir transit debate By Cyndie Claypool
Debate over the location of a transit center on campus arose at a public presentation given by the North County Transit Dist~ict on Nov. 4. The public discussion came from an outgrowth of concern regarding the introduction of the proposed center at a special Governing Board meeting on Oct. 15, according to Harry Barnet, president of the faculty senate and organizer of the public presentation. The majority of the audience of approximately 40 to 50 people, mostly staff, vocalized concerns regarding safety and aesthetics, which raised most of the controversy. Several audience participants said that the brick passenger shelter with benches and landscaping, would hinder the beauty of the campus and would be using 3/ 4 of an acre that might be used for something else in the future. The cost of constructing the facility, estimated at $452,000, will be covered by the transit district's grant money, according to Dr. George Boggs, president of Palomar College. The three members representing the transit district, Paul Price, Bill Lorenz and Ralph Thielicke, refuted these problems noting that the center would be landscaped and kept clean and that none of the proposed sites are slated for future use by the college. Of the nine proposed locations for the transit center, six of them are on campus. Candidate sites were initially selected based on land availability and walking distance from Palomar Col-
lege, as stated by the County of San Diego Department of Public Works. Of the suggested locations, labeled from A through I, sites B and I were evaluated by the transit district as the best possibilities. The audience, however, seemed to be greatly aganst these proposals. Site I, located in front of the theater, was said to be a bad location because it would destroy the campus beauty and because the buses would disturb the necessary silence needed in the theater during performances. Site B, stationed to the right of the staff/ visitors parking lot, was also seen as a bad location, both because of the proximity of the theater, although it is not as close, and because it would block the view of the existing rose gardens. While many members of the audience voiced the benefits of having a transit district near the campus, most of them , specifically music instructor Dr. Brenda Montiel, suggested that the district consider other possible locations for the center besides the ones already stated. Montiel proposed moving the existing entrance to the staff/ visitor parking lot farther away from the theater. Then the transit center could be located off the parking lot and farther back into the campus without destroying the campus' looks out front. The decision of the site's location may now be postponed while the transit district considers the other possible locations suggested at the meeting. The ultimate decision, however, lies in the hands of Palomar

College's Governing Board. The location of a transit center on or near the campus was originally discussed because of the safety hazards of the current bus stop across the street from Palomar College, in the past mandating that students cross the busy Mission road in order to get to school. One person has been killed trying to cross Mission Road, while a few others have been injured coming from or going to the bus stop across the street from the college. The proposed transit center would create express bus routes to and from the campus, especially benefitting the route from Escondido which makes frequent stops. According to the transit district, the public will also benefit from this proposal because of reduced subsidies for transit, reduced auto emission, lower auto usage and increased mobility for the transit dependent. Any suggested locations that have not been proposed should be submitted to Boggs in writing.
Martha Anguino has been elected president of MEChA (Student Movement of Chicano from Aztlan). Since its inception, MEChA, which began in 1968 to help recruit Chicanos to Palomar College from area high schools, has broadened its activities to include bake sales, a multi-cultural festival and an annual Christmas program, according to vice-president Mary Reyanga. The Christmas program, in its sixteenth year, is for low income children. They are treated to lunch, toys and a visit from Santa Claus. Recently the club received a community service award by North County Centro, Inc., Mexican community leaders. ¡ Other officials who have been elected are Reyanga, vice-president; Fernando Carvajal, treasurer; Juan Padilla, public relations; Dora Garcia, fundraising chairperson; Michael Connely, judicial advocate, and Marceoes Aguilar, campus activities chairperson.

MOVIE REVIEW
'Agnes' unworthy of merit By Wendy Williams One of the most highly touted movies of this year has been "Agnes of God". Many critics predict that it may win the "Best Picture" Oscar as well as having all three principal actresses nominated for "Best Actress." All of these predictions may be merited, but not in my opinion. "Agnes of God" is a true story about Agnes (Meg Tilly), a young nun who becomes mysteriously pregnant and is accused of
'The Microscope' that tower over the rest of the cars considering themselves "bad" and "mean,") and c) the driver who continues to drive, pretending to be oblivious to my plight. Perhaps the crosswalk and accompanying speedbump should be moved in front of the island; thus mandating that the traffic stop while people cross the street. Well, I could go on about the parking situation, but I won't- at least for now.

Did you know that college students do not have to take tests on their religious holy days or sabbath observances? Governor George Deukmejian signed a law requiring colleges and universities to allow students to take tests on alternate dates if the examination times conflicts with a religious observance, according to the Sept. 25 edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education. This is a great law for those who are truly practicing a religion with special observances that do not coincide with the college's calendar. On the other hand, though, I hope that this law does not get misused by those who are just not prepared to take a test and suddenly decide to convert to another religion.
strangling her baby when it is born. Dr. Martha Livingston (Jane Fonda) is a psychologist who is appointed by the courts to determine if Agnes is psychologically fit to be tried. Veteran actress Anne Bancroft portrays the mother superior of Agnes' convent. The main conflict arises as the mother superior and the court psychologist battle over Agnes. Dr. Livingston finds Agnes to be a confused, naive young woman whose bizarre ideas were formed by her abusive, alcoholic mother. The mother superior believes Agnes' complete devotion to God and Catholicism a "miracle" of sorts. She refuses to allow the doctor to take away Agnes' innocence, but the doctor wants Agnes to learn about the real world she knows nothing about. As the suspenseful mystery movie it is touted to be, "Agnes" falls far short of any expectations. The big question of Agnes' innocence in the death of her baby is pumped for all it is worth, but fizzles when the truth finally comes out. No surprises here. The other important mystery of how Agnes became pregnant is left to viewer discretion. The choice is predictable enough. The performances of Jane Fonda and Anne Bancroft are convincing yet not as good as they could be. Meg Tilly, however, is very good as Agnes. Throughout the film, she retained that "glazed over" look, enabling her character to seem insane and "a miracle of God" all at the same time. But other than Meg Tilly's fine performance, "Agnes of God" could have been better and more riveting.

Rupp-led poloists finish seventh in tournament By Paul Hammer After dropping an 8-7 decision to Orange Coast in the opening game of the Cypress tournament last weekend, the Cornets found themselves in the consolation bracket. Another close loss, (10-9) at the hands of Fullerton, put the locals in a position where they had to rally to beat Cypress 8-6 in order to earn a seventh place finish in the tounarnent. The 1-2 record in the tournament dropped the Cornets' seasonal record to 8-13. Dan Rupp led the Cornets' offense, registering four goals in the win against Cypress, and a team high ten for the tournament.

Comets blow chances, game By Paul Taylor Torn Craft's football team is fit to be tied. It loses one game with a disastrous second half that enables to the other team to come back from four touchdowns and beat the Cornets. Then, last week, Palomar fell behind by four touchdowns against a Rancho Santiago team that it had sorely outplayed and carne back to score a pair of too-little-too-late fourth period touchdowns to make it 28-16 in a Mission Conference game played in Santa Ana. The score could have been even closer, but the game ended with the Cornets on the Dons' two-yard-line. "It was a reversal of last week (when the Cornets blew the big lead in the second half)," Craft said. "I was proud of the way we carne back, but I wasn't really happy with the way we played. We made some turnovers that really hurt us." The visitors outgained the winners in total yards 386 to 229, but had three passes intercepted and also fumbled the ball away once. The fact that
Craft's squad was also whistled for 154 yards in penalties didn't help matters, either. Sophomore quarterback Ryan Beadle passed for 167 yards on 19-of-29 passing. He threw one touchdown pass, an 11-yarder, to Harold Collins, and was picked off once. Reserve quarterback Jonathan Mitchell was 11-of-24 for 109 yards and was intercepted twice. Trailing 28-3 in the fourth quarter, the Cornets scored on a six-yard run by LaMont Parks and the Beadle-toCollins aerial strike. Palomar also drove inside the Dons' 30 twice thereafter in the final period but was unable to score. The Cornets trailed 14-3 in the second quarter after a 25-yard Scott Black field goal and appeared headed for their first touchdown of the game when a Mitchell pass was intercepted by Laroy Montgomery and returned 90 yards for a touchdown. It was the second successive frustrating loss for the Cornets, who lost a 33-6 halftime lead the week before and lost 36-33 against Citrus.

Against Rancho Santiago, Parks was once again the leading rusher, gaining 64 yards on only nine carries. He has now gained 437 yards on just 69 carries, an average of 6.3 yards per carry, and six touchdowns. Parks has all but one of the Cornets' seven rushing touchdowns on the season thus far, with Leo Tolournu having the other. Tolournu was held to just 49 yards on 20 carries and has 355 yards in 87 carries (4.1 average). Among the receivers, former El Camino star Jerald Demery had a big day for the second straight week, catching nine balls for 110 yards, bringing his season totals to 22 catches for 311 yards (16 for 220 in the last two games). Leading receiver Harold Collins also had nine catches, for 97 yards, bringing his total to 30 for the season. He has amassed 407 yards for five touchdowns. Tolournu caught four passes, but for only three yards. He has caught 26 passes this season 196 yards. Beadle's performance gives him 96 completions in 162 attempts through the first six games of the season 59.3 percent - for 1,083 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has been intercepted seven times. Mitchell is now 19 of 46- 41.3 percent- for 199 yards, but he has been picked off three times.

Russ Schultz scored five goals and had five assists to go along with a fine defensive performance. Mike Salwach also played well, scoring four goals. A great defensive stand with less than one minute remaining gave the Cornets their first water polo Conference win.
Leading 13-12, the Cornets found themselves having to hold the Orange Coast offense at bay. They succeeded with some help from goalie Monte Prentice. With 25 seconds remaining in the game, an Orange Coast player took a shot from point-blank range. Prentice, however, got a hand on the ball and deflected it away. Again an Orange Coast player retrieved the ball and frred a game-tying attempt at the Cornets' goal. Prentice's hand once again foiled the shot. This time, the Cornets carne away with the ball and got a last second goal to win the game 14-12. Leading the way offensively for the locals were Mike Salwach and Dan Rupp. Prent ice and Russ Schultz both had outstanding games defensively. With the win, the Cornets broke a three game losing streak, and in the process, raised their record to seven wins and nine losses. They have today off, and travel to San Diego Mesa for an important Conference match up on Tuesday.
Hydo gives kickers that Mary feeling vvith win By Danny Wolfe Astronomer Edmund Halley would be proud of the lady Cornets' soccer team, especially considering coach Judy Mazzarella has had to recruit from her soccer class because of the numerous injuries. The team has won two and tied one in their last three games. Ironically, the Cornets scored all three goals in their victory Oct. 25, beating Long Beach 2-1. "We totally dominated the game," said Mazzarella. "Almost the whole game was played on our offensive side of the field." The locals outshot Long Beach 366. And now that Kim Ellsworth is off the injured list and playing "sweeper," Mary Hydo has shifted back to offense.
Hydo, taking full advantage of the shift, took 17 of the 36 shots and scored one of the two offensive goals. "We're a second-half team," said Mazzarella. "We seem to play kickball for the first half, then get it all together to come on strong the second half. And we haven't been able to play with all 14 of our players." Long Beach's only goal came on a fluke play. While one of the forwards was passing the ball back to goalie Lenora Poole, she slipped on the wet grass when she went for the ball and the ball trickled in for a goal. The team record is 3-2-1 in the conference, and 4-3-1 overall. With Orange Coast visiting at 3 p.m. today the lady Cornets may be facing what could be the turning point in the season.

Speech squad takes fourth in tourney By Colleen Riedell
"We were great. We are the team to beat", said Bruce Bishop, debate coach for the forensics squad. Competing among 20 other schools in the Biola Eagle Invitational event Oct. 25 - most of which were of the four-year variety - Bishop's unit garnered fourth-place honors in sweepstakes. Cal-State Northridge won the event, followed by Cal-State Fullerton and El Camino College, the only two-year school to place ahead of Palomar, even though the full team did not compete for Bishop. Comet speakers captured 10 major awards. Barry 1\udrier of San Marcos, com-
peting for the first time, took first place in Persuasive Speaking, followed by Rosemary Samhammer of Vista, who was sixth and Ramona's Lisa Christensen was seventh. In open and novice Children's Literature, Tom Gomes of Oceanside and Vista's Renee Couser took thirdplace trophies. Dexter Odani was third in Oral Interpretation, followed by Kurt Johnson, who was fifth, sixth-place Lisa Cole and Jeff Pilch, who captured a seventh. With Bill McKinney, Dale Haines and Linda Reiter as a three person team, they won first place at the tournament at San Die-g oSfate University Oct. 1820. "This demonstrates that the com-

munity colleges can compete victoriously against universities," added Bishop. 46 colleges and universities from the western U.S. competed at the tournament with complete teams, but only the debaters from Palomar competed with Karene Ebinger also competing in individual events. In their first competition, the speech team came away one of the best in the country. With again only the debaters competing, the forensics squad was strong. Bishop was pleased. "The competition was tougher than I expected. Some of the top teams in our region are also top teams in the country. They did real well. Bill and Dale defeated some good teams, some champion division teams." The surprise of the tournament was the placement of Karene Ebinger and Linda Reiter from the novice category to the open division and their fourth place. "It was a higher caliber with more experienced speakers. They did really
well," Bishop said. Bill McKinney won the Outstanding Debater Award. He also won first place in extemporaneous speaking, a category in which three topics regarding national and/ or international affairs are given. The debaters have 30 minutes to prepare a seven-minute speech to present with no notes. Additionally, he placed second in the impromptu category, in which the
speaker has three minutes to prepare a five-minute speech about any topic. Dale Haines won first in impromptu speaking and the third in extemporaneous speaking. Linda Reiter won first place in the novice extemporaneous speaking. Palomar's forensics squad was the only community college team to win any debate awards since most of the 26 teams were from universities.
