Bill cuts student benefits By Robert Kidder

Gramm-Rudman has already struck Educational benefits for Vietnam era vets and dependents have just been cut by 8.7 percent. In addition, veterans' vocational rehabilitation stipends (federal, not state) have been reduced 13.1 percent. This amounts to a cut of $33 per month for single veterans covered under Chapters .34 and 35, and $41 per month for singles under Chapter 31. And there will be no more advance payments after these cuts. The reductions are in effect as of March 1 this year and continuing through Sept. 31. Spokesmen for the Federal Government and the Veterans' Administration claim that these cuts will be temporary, and benefits should be restored to normal after the end of the fiscal year - "with controls." Judith Duncan, Veteran's Services supervisor for the college, says the bill is being challenged in the Supreme Court. "The cuts can be reversed with

pressure from the students affected." She urges all involved to write letters of"displeasure" to government officials who are capable of having this bill reversed in the Supreme Court. Following are names and addresses that people can write to regarding this issue: President Ronald Reagan, The White House, Washington, D.C. 20500; The Honorable Thomas Daschle, Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2455, Washington, D.C. 20515; The Honorable Pete Wilson, Hart Senate Office Building, SH 720, Washington, D.C. 20510; House Veterans' Affairs Committee, Sonny Montgomery, Rayburn House Office Building, SH 112, Washington, D.C. 20510; and the Honorable Eugene Chappie, Longworth House Office Building, SH 720, Washington, D.C. 20515. The Gram-Rudman Act is one of the Reagan administration's devices to balance the nation's budget. This bill could eventually effect a total of 300,000 persons within the federal government, said Duncan. "Military personnel will feel the

Faculty members volunteer to contact absent students By Paulette Oberle

"We are concerned about students' success," says Stan Levy, "and to be successful, students need to be in class." Levy, director of reading services, and Dr. Brenda Montiel, music instructor, are coordinators of the pilot program, Phoning for Student Retention (PSR). Currently over 60 members of the instructional staff have volunteered to participate in the experiment to help students stay in class. Instructors either call their own students or call the names of absent students into the PSR desk in the Student Services Center. The desk is staffed by eight instructors who have excellent communication skills, says Levy. Montiel says that the criteria for calling is "when a student misses two or more consecutive classes, or when appropriate." Levy says the intent of the calls to students is to convey a "personal, we care message." Montiel notes that the call gives students an opportunity to discuss barriers that are keeping them

pinch throughout all branches of the services," she said. "We are already seeing many small areas of erosion in the fields of veterans' health care, home loans, etc.," Duncan added. She also pointed out that the VA has had a hiring freeze in effect for the past five years. "Our staff is down to 'bare bones' as a result of this freeze, but we are still able to handle any situation that may arise for our veteran students," Duncan asserted. "However, we are a bit apprehensive about what will come in the future concerning veterans' affairs. So far there has been very little publicity about these cutbacks," she said. Duncan recommends immediate reaction by students affected, as the cuts will be reflected in checks received on April 1. And, if possible, copies of letters should be submitted to the college Office of Veterans' Affairs in the student services center.

Dr. Joshua L. Smith, chancellor of California Community Colleges, dedicated the new Student Services Center March 19. Smith, donning a Circle K button which marked his contribution to the club's Project P, spoke to the crowd assembled outside the refurbished building, once the old library. The newly appointed chancellor acknowledged the importance of student services and Palomar's "onestop center" which would take some of the pressure and worries off students, enabling them to be more receptive to the teacher. "The most important act that takes place is that act which occurs in the exchange of two minds - a teacher and a receptive student. It's extremely important that we can see a building that will help," he said. Smith began speaking of the importance of community colleges which allow any student to further his or her education. "Without restriction of admission, (students) can go on to become a productive part of society." Dr. Ken Burns, vice president of student affairs, followed up Smith by saying, "The final analysis is the real heart of education, to help students learn. "Students are our very reason for existence. Student Services Center will help students achieve, learn, grow." Before the actual ribbon-cutting ceremony, Dr. George Boggs, Palomar president/ superintendent, presented Smith with a blue and white, vinyl Palomar College jacket. The group then moved around to the front of the building, facing the visitor/ staff parking lot, to watch Boggs and Smith cut the red ribbon. Before Smith had officially dedicated the center, several others had spoken. Boggs had stressed the importance of the services which the 15,000 square foot building provides. The services now housed under one roof are: counseling and guidance; admissions and records; veterans education; fmancial aid; student job placement; and the career center. Some administrative offices and a board room are

also located in the building. President of the Board of Trustees Barbara Hughes, had also addressed the audience. "This is not a celebration of a building," she said, "but a celebration of an institution. Student services are important ... a wonderful asset for a college.

Lottery funds give Palom-ar $469,000 By Cyndie Claypool

$469,699, generated from the California state lottery, has been received by Palomar College, according to business manager Mike Gregoryk. Only $360,000 had already been allocated into the budget. However, when the funds fmally arrived in February, the total exceeded the anticipated amount. Because of the extra income from the lottery, Gregoryk said that in the future the money will help many areas, especially salary increases, corporate costs and buildings and grounds. The remaining $109,000 over the allocated amount will probably be used to hire more part-time instructors, he added. This will allow more classes to be offered to students. Although the next quarterly segment from the lottery is slated for May, the exact date and amount is undetermined. Gregoryk noted that the next installation may be lower as lottery sales are down 20 percent. He commented, "The lottery was an excellent way to help education" and will help Palomar's funds which have been reportedly low. For every $100 million of sales generated, Palomar will receive $6.16 per Average Daily Attendance, which is about 9,000. Of all the proceeds from the lottery sales, 34 percent is slated for public schools, six percent for overhead costs and 50 percent for prizes.

Reporter rediscovers writing discipline By Robert Kidder Beginning as a part-time reporter back in the "middle ages" (circa 1957), I was disenchanted with the disciplines of writing for a daily newspaper and dreamed of writing the "great American novel." Consequently I embarked on a circuitous journey which has brought me full-circle, back to disdplines of writing for a weekly newspaper. In the meantime, my pile of shortstory rejection slips went the way of all "good" writing - into the trash can. The novel finally got off the ground and is presently one-third finished, but is getting so wordy that I decided to discipline myself once more by studying journalism, which I should have done in the beginning. This time, however, I find myself fascinated with the newspaper as an avenue of immediate communication and publication. Perhaps being now almost 50 years old, I have mellowed or become wise in the ways of the world. Anyway, being pitted against the younger minds of this generation is a challenge to be sure. They are so enthusiastic and energetic. I hope some of it will rub off on me. Pounding the "beats" again for the T elescope, I gathered enough material for one blurb (small article) and another which might qualify for a story. Then I began bouncing off brick walls. "No news now - we'll call you." "Dr. so and so can see you at such and such times" - precisely when I have a class or two. Well now, we mustn't get discouraged so easily, I thought, and picked my ego up off the sidewalk. Hack at the office, amid the clutter and clamor, I grabbed another beat from the worn sheet and determined to come up with something worthwhile for the old taltlDid. I stormed the new Student Services Center, with my teeth (no I don't wear dentures) in my throat and introduced myself. A robust, congenial man with a white beard much bushier than mine inquired of my business. I replied, "I'm Bob Kidder with the Telescope newspaper and was wondering if you had any newsworthy items that you would like to have the students read about?" Sometnmg to that effect. A slender, studious man sitting next to him grinned at the robust man and looked at me askance. I always detest being looked at askance. They were both sitting in front of electric typewriters, as if they were expecting them to talk. "Hey Suzi! There's some guy here from the Telescope newspaper looking for a story now's your chance, girl." He was talking to the supervisor, I soon discovered. The slender man just kept on staring at his typewriter waiting for words to come out, and I felt a strong urge to tell him to peck on the keys. An amicable, short, but stout lady shook my hand and introduced herself as I entered the office in back. She looked at me as if to say, "You're a reporter? A white beard and pre-war dress doesn't quite jive with the status quo on a community college campus." But she was a sweet lady and didn't say it.

3UPPORT THE U.S. TEAM!!!

Instead my ears received what every reporter's ears yearn for and seldom get. "I'm glad you stopped by. Somewhere in all this mess (they were still moving into the building) I've got some information that needs to get to the student veterans. Have a seat please - let me move that stuff for you - and blah, blah, blah." I took notes frantically and just knew I would never make heads nor tails of all this scribbling. atter all, but there were sweat stains on the paper. Taking my leave, I began to write the story in my mind, which I remembered all good reporters do, later depositing it on paper by pecking on the keys of my typewriter which seldom talks to me either. The editor changed my lead. Proof-readers hacked away at the prose. And they didn't print the story ...

Life with rich and famous By Anne Husk My sister took a shower in Benny Goodman's bathroom. Actually it was his summer house and it was being used by a friend of a friend of hers. I don't often mention it, but I am practically at the center of the rich and famous . My brother once sat on a bar stool next to Robert Walden of the "Lou Grant" TV series. Gregory Peck's limousine broke down in front of my husband's place of business. My sister saw Linda Lavin of "Alice" walking on the streets of New York. It's kind of embarrassing to mention that I travel with the wealthy and the celebrated, that my contacts are with internationally known people. A good friend of mine's husband once put gas in Elvis Presley's car, and my sister got him to sign his name on her leather jacket when he was still a rising star. The man was practically family. I know somebody who grew up down the street from Estelle Getty of "Golden Girls." When I worked in credit at Robinson's department store I touched Raymond Burr's account card. I have a letter from folksinger Joan Baez's mother. I'm uncomfortable flaunting my friends this way and never take advantage of my connections. I put my pants on one leg at a time. My sister was in a play with Ted Danson of "Cheers" when they were both in college. I knew somebody who knew somebody who met George Chakiris, now a regular on "Dallas." I once baby sat for a woman who

Be able to get along with co-workers, subordinates, bosses and outsiders (customers, suppliers, etc.). Employee squabbles rarely leave anyone with a clean record. 6. Timing is important.

Polish 'reality' movie runs By Monica Nash "Everything for Sale" (Poland 1968), directed by Andrzei Wajda will show April10 at 2 and 7 p.m. in P-32. "He is the best and most respected of Polish film directors," said Richard Peacock, communications instructor. "Poland has an excellent film school; although, the work is not seen much by Americans." "Everything for Sale" plays with different levels of reality, according to Peacock. The story deals with the

making of a film in which the star dies accidentally. Ironically, in real life the star actually died while making this movie. The filmmaker changed focus as the death of the star, a national hero at the time, became the subject of the film. "Reality and the ficitionalized version of reality are entwined," said Peacock. "Andrzei Wajda is somewhat a hero himself and is now active in films on the Polish labor movement."

lngmar Bergman film shows By Monica Nash

"Cries and Whispers" (Sweden 1972), an intense exploration of female relationships, will be shown April17, 2 and 7 p.m. in P-32. According to Richard Peacock, communications instructor, "Ingmar Bergman, the director, has a special curiosity about women and what makes them tick." He continued, "Physically beautiful in color and design, 'Cries and Whispers' is also a painful film. Foe-

using on a family at a time of death." "Bergman uses visual metaphors. There are a lot of deep reds and blacks to symbolize death and pain and blood. Using those colors on the sets; in curtains, clothing, etc., you are struck on a subliminal level with the horror of the process of dying depicted on screen," said Peacock. "It is really a strong film and stars Liv Ullman, a great actress. Ultimately, 'Cries and Whispers' is a personal exploration of Bergman's belief systems."

Golfers improve, lead conference By Karl Koch

Local golfers grab the spotlight as they lead the Inland Valley Conference with a record of 21-4. Following a victory in the Riverside Tournament, March 14, and a third place at the Palomar Tournament March 17, Coach Bob Lusky and his golfers are already looking ahead to the important Inland Valley Tournament.

Swimmers take first at Mt. SAC meet By Susan Hudson

While March weather varied from cold rain to warm sun, the men's swim team consistently shined throughout the month. At the Mt. SAC Invitational meet March 21 and 22 the Comets took top honors with 373 points, splashing past San Diego Mesa (317), Citrus (265), Mt. SAC (261) and Rio Hondo (113). Sophomore Russ Schutz was the team's star performer, bringing home firsts in the 100 butterfly and the 400 individual medley and helping Lonnie Moreno, Dan Rupp and Chris Monti win the medley relay. Moreno swam to first place in the 100 backstroke and finished third in the 100 butterfly. Rupp collected a second in the 1650 freestyle, a third in the 400 individual medley and joined with Schutz, Bob Baranek and Mike Stanley to place second in the 800 free relay. Stanley, Monti, Schutz and Jeff Warner comprised the runner-up distance medley team. Schutz's state championship qualifying time of 2:00.04 in the 200 butterfly was the Comet's highlight performance in the double dual meet March 19. The Comets split the meet, losing to Metro Conference Los Angeles Pierce College 58-38 while

Clark Renner leads the team, averaging 74.9 shots per match. Ben Sweeney is right behind with a 76.5.

Locals take own baseball tourney By Paul Taylor

It hadn't happened in 10 years, but Bob Vetter's baseball team's winning of its own Jim Towne Memorial Baseball Tournament during the Easter break may have an even bigger impact on the season than anyone realizes. The Comets won their first three games of the double-elimination event before Arizona Western's Jose Martinez silenced them with a no-hitter in the fourth game, setting up a Palomar-Arizona Western final. But in this game, it was Palomar's sophomore right-hander David Danover who almost tossed a no-no of his own, hurling 8 1/ 3 innings of no-hit ball, before having a ball hit back through the box and up the middle for a single with one out in the ninth inning. He settled for a one-hitter and the Comets rolled to a 17-0 win. "Our backs were against the wall," Vetter said. "It was an outstanding performance by David. As I told the guys on the team, here we were in a situation where everyone had thrown during the tournament and we had a lot of tired arms. "It's always good to win your own tournament, but, gosh, it's been 10 years since we won it last. It was the

Palomar / MiraCosta Tournament then. It really gives you a good feeling." The wins improved Palomar's record overall for the season to 9-81. The Comets are 3-3-1 in Pacific Coast Conference play. "The key to us coming alive in the tournament, I think was just that we swung the bats better," Vetter explained. "We weren't as passive at the plate as we had been in earlier games. That guy (Martinez) pitched a great game against us in the loss, but we really made it easy for him. We'd be behind 0-2 in the count before you blinked an eye. I told them they had to be more agressive. And they were." Vetter feels that if the offense can perform at or near the same level it did in the final, combined with the fme pitching the team has received, the Comets can still be a factor in the conference race. "I feel if we can put the pitching together with a good offensive attack and some good defense behind the pitchers, this is a team that is capable of beating any team in the conference. "Hopefully, too, this tournament showing can give us some momentum into the rest of the conference season. I feel we're playing some pretty solid baseball right now."

Netters defeat San Diego By Paul Hammer

Coach Jon Cnossen's tennis team proved to be rude hosts as they took five of six singles matches enroute to a 6-3 victory over San Diego City March 18. The win, which ran Palomar's record to 5-5, also evened their record in the Pacific Coast Conference at 22.

John Cress won his number one

singles match 6-0, 6-4. Also winning for the locals were George Bean, Tom Borer, Tin Tran and Willie Baptista. Today the Comets travel to Riverside for a non-conference match against the University of Riverside at 2:30 p.m. The next home match will be a key conference match against MiraCosta Thursday at 2 p.m. In winning the five singles matches, the Comets dominated San Diego City by winning all ten sets. They also took 60 games to SDC's 19.

VA seeks overdue debts by mail By Robert Kidder

Overdue debts owed to the Veterans' Administration by veterans are being sought through the mailing of thousands of letters to delinquent debtors. If these debts are not paid, the individual's federal income tax refund may be reduced or denied. "Unless you take action to liquidate this debt, we intend to refer the debt to the Internal Revenue Service for collection," the letter says. "Any federal income tax refund to which you may be entitled may be offset in full or partial satisfaction of this indebtedness." The refund offsets were authorized by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984. Debtors will have 60 days from the

Workshops help women cope with change By Farrah Golshan

and it is time." Some of the topics of Law's seminar are self-evaluation, self-esteem, management of time, energy, health and stress. "Time Management" is held every Tuesday and Thursday through April 24 from 1 to 3 p.m. The guest speaker in "Learning to Leave" workshop is author Lynette Triere, director, Triere Center of Relationships Education in Del Mar. Her workshop will be held every Wednesday from April9 through April

30 from noon to 1 p.m. at Women's Center. The author of the book "Learning to Leave," co-authored by Richard Peacock in communication and cinema, says, "My goal is to educate the people and to give them the power to understand and the tools to act in relationships and in divorces." Triere herself has been a divorcee for seven years after 19 years of marriage. She believes people don't receive enough information on "how to do relationships." Most parents don't sit down and talk to their children about relationships, and according to Triere, "Somebody that has had a bad divorce cannot teach

and they are concerned about their husbands and their children. "Men still see their role in our society as a provider, not only fmancially but also physical security. When he makes his decision to leave, he feels guilty that he couldn't please his woman, his wife and that he has failed to provide," she says. The third week is devoted to the practical problems of living. Some of the issues that Triere, a mother of four sons, will discuss are, "the cold reality

of survival," the legal issues on spousal/ child support and "economical consideration of managing your life financially on your own." The continuation of the relationships after divorce is the speaker's main concern in her presentation of the final week She will talk about "the secret of ending it gracefully," and how to interact so the divorce couple can co-parent the children. For more information about the workshops call Ext. 2597 or 2212.
