"The Department of Health threatened to close the pool down if we didn't repair it," said Michael Gregoryk, Palomar business manager. "It was an emergency situation." At a cost of $73,000 to replaster and $57,000 to replace the pump and filter system, the swimming pool proved to be a pricey maintenance job. However, the new energy-saving pump should pay for itself in two years, according to Gregoryk.
Workers remove plaster from the pool shortly before Christmas in preparation for the current restoration. The renovation includes replacing

Campus helps returning women A support group for reentry women who are returning to college after time out for work, homemaking or other activities will be among the services available to students in the spring semester through Student Health Services. Facilitated by Student Health Services counselor Gloria Hamson, the group is designed to help meet the needs of women on the Palomar campus who are low in self-esteem, questioning their identity, wondering who they can trust, have questions about assertiveness and are expe-

riencing stress due to the changes in their lives as they return to school. The group will meet Tuesdays from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in the Education Room at Student Health Services. In addition, anorexia, bulimia and overeating will be the focus of an eating disorders support group, conducted by Dr. Denruth Lougeay, Student Health Services counselor. Weekly sessions will be held Thursdays from 1 to 2:40 p.m. Students may make an appointment for an intake interview for either group by coming to Student Health Services, or calling Ext. 2380.
Gregoryk mentioned that there would still be parking lot repairs (such as restriping and filling in pot holes) and an attempt to install more student parking places. He also noted that Palomar would get $40,000 under the Deferred Maintenance plan for new fixtures. That is the extent of the funds available to work with. Needs in other areas must be ignored. "Roofs are in pathetic shape," Gregoryk said. "We get some money but never enough. We'd like to get to a number of remodeling projects, such as repairing and improving faculty offices and classrooms." As the facilities at Palomar deteriorate, Gregoryk brought up another area that has been neglected instructor's salaries. "Our most pressing need is adequate salary increases to keep and attract good faculty. We are in danger oflosing our most important asset - quality instructors."
Health Services offers low-cost medical By Monica Nash
"We want to keep students well and in class, physically as well as mentally," said Clarice Hankins, director of Student Health Services. Hankins wants to increase student awareness of what Student Health Services has to offer. Located in a modular building in the center of campus, Hankins and the staff can give more than a Band-Aid and a couple of aspirin. For example, Student Health Services has a blood bank. It can be used by any relative of a student or the students themselves. "We will release blood for any health need," said Hankins. That's just the tip of the iceberg. In case of serious injury, an electric cart can be sent at the student's request. There is a quiet place to lie down set aside for students who need to rest.
Inside:
The staff also teaches CPR emergency procedures and can even offer a lowcost 24-hour insurance policy. Hankins divides the services available into four commponants: 1) Nursing services 2) Medical services 3) Mental Health services 4) Health education In order for students to appreciate what is contained in each of the categories, Hankins went into quite some detail for each one.
tions, Olood pressure screening, diabetes screening, dispensing non prescription medicines, first-aid for accidents, taking height and weight measurements, and loaning equipment such as crutches are among the nurses' other jobs. They also offer students a lot of information related to health and even have a referral and health counseling service. Medical services are a fundamental part of Student Health Services. M.D.'s are in attendance daily, by appointment on an hourly basis. "They do the Under "Nursing services" Hankins acute, short-term type things," noted, "Registered nurses are here at explained Hankins. There is no charge all times that students are scheduled on campus."

"We have counselors trained in dealing with marriage and family and psychological problems. They are getting supervised hours for licensure. They all have had many hours of experience. Many counselors apply and we screen them carefully," said Hankins. They are available for group or individual counseling at no charge. The group sessions include the Eating Disorders group and the Support group. The Support group deals with poor self-esteem and relationship problems. "We are getting people with similar problems together," explained Hankins. "Discussions take place in a supervised, loosly-structured group." Hankins noted that the counselors were always ready to help students

drug problems and smoking. The final category Hankins enumerated was in the field of health education. Some of the campus campaigns sponsored by Student Health Services on special subject matter include: Drug and Alcohol Abuse Awareness Week, the Quit Smoking Smoke-Out and the AIDS Awareness Week.

"One week we encouraged everyone to come in for immunizations," said Hankin. "We offer free immunizations. We'd like to remind students that they should have their Tetanus/Diphtheria vacination once every ten years. It's also important to have boosters for measles, mumps and Rubella." "We really are a busy service but we'd like to make sure that all students are aware of us," concluded Hankins. "We are available to all students regardless of their situation."

Experts see state academic crisis By Monica Nash "Student: A Conference on Undergraduate Education" was hosted by Assemblyman Tom Hayden at UCLA last month. The purpose was to re-shape the Master Plan for education. Attending the conference were the upper crust of higher education from throughout the state and some nationally prominent figures. It was a heady event for a lowly community college student. .. me. A lot happened over those few days. I made a few happy discoveries and had some disappointments concerning the people running our educational system in California. They all made an impression. None of them were what you'd call ordinary. They all had something in common. They were scared. Exaggerating? Not much. If there was a theme to the conference it was that we are headed for disaster. We are handing our future to a generation that is unprepared to handle it. The failure to provide young people with the educational tools necessary to make decisions for the common welfare is bound to have repercussions. The prevailing attitude today is that a broad education for everyone is superfluous. Business concerns are given top priority. Social issues are passe. How long can such distortions continue? The teachers who shape the minds of our youth makes less money than garbage men. In addition, the problem of illiteracy is usually swept under the rug. Not only are Dick and Jane unable to read, they don't comprehend concepts such as as values, ethics or ideals. They don't understand their own cultural heritage, let alone the cultures of other nations. They have no knowledge of the past on which to base their judgements. They are an intellectual void. What follows are the highlights of speeches presented by three of the V.I.P.'s in education who attended the conference. The first, Dr. Ernest Boyer, is with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement ofTeaching. He recently released a report that received national attention entitled "Undergraduate Education in the U.S.: A National Profile." DR. ERNEST BOYER "The future of higher education is linked to first grade teachers. The battle is won or lost in the early years. I would like to give as much status to first grade teachers as to full professors. The influence of early teachers lives on forever. "Our most important obligation is to respond to emerging social and demographic patterns. College is least successful in dealing with minority students. In the last three years, the percentage of blacks enrolling in higher education has gone down. "We must broaden the scope of general education in all schools. We are ignorant of our heritage and that of other nations. We must have discourse about differences and find commonalities as well. We are deeply dependent on each other. "Two requirements of college are to help students discover who they are and to find connections with other students. We must see the rich tapestry of our differences. We must commit ourselves to helping students gain a national and global perspective. There must be a merging of liberal and useful arts. "The crisis in education is not the focus on careers. But in too many fields, skills have become the ends. Knowledge is important only when we use it and apply it to humane ends. "The values that professionals bring to their work are every bit as important as the work itself. The student who can weave his technology into the fabric of society has an education. There is an urgent need for students to make connections between general and technical education. "Should non-traditional students get credits like green stamps and tum them in for a degree? Education is dramatically affected by life outside the classroom. We need an organizing principle concerning campus life. According to a recent survey, fifty percent of all students feel like numbers and two-thirds can't discuss personal matters with professors."
EDUCATIONAL SOLUTIONS Suggestions were made to a panel of four state legislators to update the Master Plan at the recent conference on education. Representing the legislature were Tom Hayden, Theresa Hughes, Gary Hart and Jack O'Connell. Theresa Hughes mentioned that Governor Deukmejian vetoed several bills containing these suggestions. She said that they would work to implement the ideas presented, but their hands were tied without cooperation from the governor. 1) Students involved in work-study should work in the local community or with junior high and high school students. This would give them a sense of community involvement and would attack illiteracy. 2) Encourage a partnership between educational institutions and industry and business. Offer tax incentives to those involved. 3) Transfer Centers should be installed at all two and four year colleges. We need more cooperation between different tiers of higher education. Intersegmental forums and faculty exchanges would be helpful. 4) Actively recruit K-12 students
BILL HONIG Bill Honig is superintendant of public instruction for grades K-12 in California. His speech was the most controversial at the conference. He has a right -wing reputation and stepped on the toes of a few liberals. Others found they agreed with him in spite of themselves. "The educational system in California has three missions: job preparation, conveying the essence of democracy, and putting before the younger generation visions of the good. "Research institutions are vocational institutions and often specialize too much. People need communication skills as well as a connection with a past. No connection is made with the history of a special field. "We have a stake in conveying to each generation the essence of democracy. Students need to focus in on concepts such as the separation of powers, individual rights, majority rules, democratic temperament, community participation and ethical responsibility. "The U.S.A is an experiment in liberty and choice. You should inform that choice; know ideas that are central to our society. We should talk about the sixteen million people who were killed by Stalin and those tortured in Argentina. Kids need a world understanding. "No one gets credit for teaching concepts of liberty and democracy. It is not [currently] legitimate to talk about purpose, values, morals or beliefs. "Some background on morality and ethics is needed. This [current policy] is a blueprint of disaster. We should be engendering civic intelligence. Students today are civically and ethically illiterate. "Students can be given a burning desire or belief that will help them to live better quality lives. They should know what people have said about truth, justice and integrity. "Coleridge once asked, 'If class and religion break down as an organized faction, what agency takes the place of transmitting culture?' That's where the public schools come in. "Academic freedori) has turned into a buzzword for not collaborating and changing. Liberals at universities aren't standing up for beliefs and commitment. They believe that all viewpoints are legitimate. That is the smokescreen for not changing. "We need agreed-upon goals to share. There is a danger in accessment. It can get too narrow, but there is a responsibility to society.
for college. Make them more aware of opportunities. 5) Increase state funds for student grants. Aid should continue to students who need more than four years to complete their degree. 6) Associated Student Government fees should be mandatory at all community colleges. 7) More attention paid to part-time and commuting students. More help for night students such as child care. 8) Better programs directed at cross-cultural and minority students. 9) Faculty should be given a reward, such as merit credit, for student involvement. Re-examine how faculty time is accounted for. 10) Encourage teaching as a profession. Include: A) salary raises. B) nurturing future teacher programs. C) merging successful ¡ teaching strategies. Of course, these suggestions are only effective to the extent they are taken. Progress is stymied unless the legislature receives some cooperation from the governor. Unfortunately, he did not attend the conference.
"How do we know what the college graduates know? The universities are much more open to accessing K-12 grades than themselves. We need specifications for quality. We can allow freedom within those specifications, but we need to be accountable for the results. "Critical thinking requires breadth of understanding. Often there is no background, no history of thought taught to elementary teachers. The universities must prepare broadly educated teachers of elementary students. "Undergraduates have severe problems-pregnancies, suicide, etc. They get peer advice. The last place they think of getting information is school. We have been too oriented toward individualism. Today's students are wrestling with moral issues and don't have the background to address them."
"Our primary needs are to better financial aid to encourage students to attend school full time and to raise minority students' expectations for themselves. Spend the money on the first graders now, so they will know that it is a possibility that they can go to college. "The Ford study confirmed that putting funds in academic support services and counseling has a dramatic effect. We need active, agressive effort to nurture students to become teachers through community colleges. 50 percent of all teacher graduates have attended community colleges. "The state government doesn't understand the community college's function or see them as marvelous resources for developing the economy. Community colleges are more capable than we allow ourselves to think. The failure to recognize their potential for talent development in the future is shocking. "Community colleges are expert at teaching basic skills to adults. Immigrants, minorities and the poor need even more than basic education programs. "Community college students are not well organized. They should sit down with their faculty and administration to find out what is happening. Students should also get involved with high schools and mentor high school and junior high students. "I am in favor of having a mandatory student fee for community colleges. We need more organization and representation in Sacramento. Wouldn't it be great if the next time the Governor and the legislature gave us a hard time, we could send busload after busload after busload of students to them?'' CONCLUSIONS
While the speeches were thoughtprovoking, there was imput from students, administrators and instructors from all over the state. At one point we were asked to convene in smaller groups to compose tough questions to ask David Gardiner, UC president and Chancellor Ann Reynolds of CSU. They avoided giving us some straight answers. For example, when it came to the accessment issue, (How can you tell if an educational institution is doing its job?), President Gardiner thought it was a good idea for the educational quality of K-12 and community colleges to be scrutinized, but wanted hands off the UC system. In fact, Gardiner called accessment "A blinking yellow light, and I'm color blind." They both also avoided the issue of difficulty JOSHUA SMITH for community college students transferring to a CSU or UC institutions.

Loan scam stings homeowners Homeowning veterans seeking to escape high mortgage payments or merely selling their property for other reasons, should beware of buyers offering a convenient "quick fix" to the payment problem. Unless the Veterans Administration has approved a Release of Liability for the veteran's GI home loan guarantee, the veteran is still responsible for the payments no matter what the buyer may tell him. VA investigators report that a number of area vets who bought homes under the VA loan guaranty entitlement have been victimized by an "equity skimming" fraud scheme. According to Los Angeles VA Regional Loan Guaranty Officer, James W. Davis, the scheme works like this:
A veteran in financial difficulty or attempting to sell is approached by someone offering to buy the house by taking over the loan obligation. The veteran may even receive a small payment in exchange for signing a "quit claim" deed to the mortgaged property. The buyer asks only that the vet move out immediately so he can rent the property as soon as possible. A quit claim deed, however, does not make the purchaser legally liable for the repayment of the mortgage. If the purchaser (equity skimmer) does not pay off the loan, the veteran remains responsible for it. Unfortunately, it is often not until after a foreclosure occurs that the original veteran homeowner discovers his or her liability. Without a Release of

Liability from the VA, the veteran is liable for any indebtedness based on foreclosure of the loan. To avoid the pitfalls of equity skimming, a veteran planning to sell his VA-guaranteed loan-financed home should apply to the VA for a Release of Liability. If the loan is current, the purchaser is a satisfactory credit risk, and has assumed liability to the mortgage holder and VA, the VA will release the veteran from his personal liability. To apply for a Release of Liability, the veteran should request the necessary forms and instructions from the VA Regional Office that originally guaranteed the loan. Davis stressed that veterans facing financial difficulty should contact their lending institution first. "The lending institution can work with the veteran and advise him on what he can and can't do," he said. "The lender must also notify the VA when a guaranteed loan is in default and we will make every effort to assist the veteran in saving his home. There are no quick fixes, but help is available."

Grandmother inspired by experiences By Peggy Kelly
Going back to school after you've married and had children is a difficult task for any person. Struggling in classes with "kids" half your age, one has to feel alien. But for Jeannine Gilligan, age 55, it is a life-long challenge that must be met. With the sensitivity of an artist, this serious soft-spoken woman paints ceramics and writes poetry about her once red-haired, freckled son who gave her the inspiration she needed to go back to school Jeannine's youngest son David was nine when he was hit by a car while riding his bicycle. For six years David was in a semi-comatose condition. At this time Jeannine lived her life for David. His body was limp, but his eyes still watched the world go by him. The mother of eleven children always had hope that someday he would be normal again. But he never was to come out of his semi-comatose state. "I told David I am going to go to school for him," Jeannine remembered as she looked through the pictures of David. "He couldn't go to school in his condition so I'm doing it for him." Now that David is gone Jeannine is striving for the goals she never had time for when he was alive. "School is good for me.... It keeps me busy so I don't have time to think about David's death." While working on her English degree at Palomar she is also competing on the speech team. "I want to get as much education as I can before my husband retires," states Gilligan. With her own poetry she has presented speeches at contests across the country. Always striving for perfec-
tion, Jeannine brought home silver and bronze awards from the National speech competitions held last April in Omaha, Nebraska She overwhelmed the judges by the way she presented her original poetry in the Poetry Interpretation division. Through her original three poems, "If I Could Will It So", 'The Snapshot", and 'Thou Art in Command", inspired by her days spent with David, this perfectionist conveys a determination to survive in a world that has not always been perfect for her. "I never finished high school," comments Jeannine. "When I was 16, I became engaged through letters with a G.I. He came home and we got married... , I was an A student and shouldn't have quit. I could have accomplished a lot more." Jeannine seems to have an artistic talent running through her blood. Her love for writing, painting, music and drama is displayed through out her home and through out the activities of her daily life. Inside her home she displays pieces of art from many of her eleven children. Paintings by one of her daughters hang above a piano and a harpsichord. An alpaca rug from her other artist daughter who lives in Bolivia hangs in the hall. Another daughter-in-law of hers is a journalist in Provo, Utah and Jeannine's oldest son is an engineer. Jeannine's brother Les Campbell is a sculptor who also goes to Palomar College. He writes a column on schizophrenia for the Oceanside Blade Tribune. His older son is considered a genius and his younger son makes fine art out of marble in Italy. "My Dad and Mom would quarrel in
Jeannine Gilligan poetry," continued Jeannine lightheartedly. "My Mother would put nasty poems in my Dad's lunch box and he would quarrel back with more poetry." Jeannine would also love to sing when she was young. "At 18 I would quietly sing in the department store where I worked in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The owners overheard me and thought I had potential. They wanted to sponsor me on my own radio show, but I found out I was pregnant with my first baby." She proceeded to have eleven pregnancies, eight children, and three stepchildren from her recent mar-
riage. She also has 18 grandchildren. Jeannine has had leads in musicals and has been told that she had potential to go to the top in opera by an instructor in the field. Unfortunatly, Jeannine could not pursue her singing carreer because with each pregnancy, she would be violently sick "So there was no way I could work" Now she sings in the church choir with many solos. "I would like to pursue light opera and continue my voice lessions that I dropped when I was 17. I also want to tackle the piano again." Singing is a way to relax for Jeannine. But her first love is writing. Jeannine started writing at 15 when she won a serious poem writing contest. She has written over 75 poems that are published through her church newsletter. A long range goal for her is to have these poems published and bound into a book Jeannine has also written a children's book, "Fussy the Finicky Fly," which she is currently trying to publish. This book describes the anatomy of the fly with illustrations by her daughter. She is also working on another children's book, "All God's Creators." Writing is an outlet for Jeannine. "Sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up and get an inspiration. The pen starts moving and it seems like some one else is moving it." Now that Jeannine has more time to obtain her own goals her biggest problem is Algebra Jeannine has one hour of tutoring for her struggle in Algebra followed by three hours of Math clinic each day.
"Algebra is a bear. I became so frustrated with algebra that I wrote a poem about it. My teacher, Anetta Parker liked it so much, she said she would pin it up on the bulletin board, so all algebra students could appreciate it," she chuckled. Since then Jeannine has dropped algebra for the semester. But Jeannine is determined to see herself get through algebra, just as she has with all other obstacles in her life. "I just want the satisfaction of having that degree," Jeannine commented. The five categories that Jeannine is working on for the Nationals at the the end of March are; Poetry Interpretation, Speech to Entertain, Readers Theatre, Duet Drama, and mixed Jaundra (poetry) and Drama In the Speech to Entertain her theme will be Families, and will use her original work Duet Drama and Jaundra and Drama will have the theme Old Age. For Jaundra and Drama she will be using original prose and poetry. When asked how she prepares herself for these speeches she says, "First research, then I write it out, then memorize it, and then practice, practice, practice." Jeannine has taken a liking to drama "I am interested in drama possibly as a minor." Jeannine would like to finish up at Palomar next fall. But she has no set time to do this. She just wants to put all her effort into everything she touches, whether it be her children, her songs, her poetry, or her speeches.
Turkish student compares cultures By Kimberly Parsley
Nicki Ongun smiles modestly when congratulated on her achievement in English. She was one of two people to receive an A on her English midterm. The achievement doesn't seem enormous until you know that English is not her second language. Around the house her folks speak Turkish, and that house is located in Turkey. She was actually born in Riverside, California, on November 18, 1966, while her parents were living in the United States. Her mother, lpek, and her father, Alp Ongun, chose the name Aliye Nilgun Ongun, after her maternal grandmother. Before her first birthday, she and her family moved to Istanbu~ Turkey. Nicki says that when she first came to Palomar her English was not very good. Now, only a little over a year later she speaks the language fluently. Even slang expressions, which usually are the most difficult to pick up, seem to come naturally for her. "If you want to speak a language
well, you must go and live in the country (where it is spoken)." Nicki took just two years of English while she was in Turkey. "By coming here (to the United States), I've learned and improved my English so much. When I first came I had a limited vocabulary and only knew the present tense. When you need the language to communicate you learn quickly." Nicki is attending Palomar to work toward her degree in economics. She eventually plans to return to Turkey to begin her career in a related field. Her class load currently includes French, English, economics, calculus and for relaxation--tennis. None of the classes have been easy, but French has presented a unique problem. Unfortunately, when one takes French in the United States he or she translates from English to French.
Nicki's high school was Frenchbased, meaning that every course except for her Turkish language course was taught in French. Because of her eight years of .French, she considers it her second language. Colleges are very difficult to be accepted into simply due to lack of space. Entrance tests are given and only a third of those who take the tests can be admitted. Since the tests are so crucial, most college-hopefuls attend a special preparatory school after regular school hours, during the last two years of high school.
variety of Turkish programs. The older generations were used to matchmaking and "arranged marriages." Just as in America the grandparents would be shocked to hear of a girl calling a boy. But the younger generation is changing. "We go out for the evening in groups with girls and boys also. I liked to go to dances, out to eat, and to the movie theater."
Although it's still not considered proper for a girl to initiate a relationship with a guy, basically the culture isn't too different from America Knowing that English is literally her third language, her first and second being Turkish and French respectively, her accomplishment in English, an "A" on her midterm, seems a bit more remarkable.
Studies leave students with little time for extracurricular activities. Very few students work part-time, because of long school hours and vast unemployment in Turkey. However, studies don't take up so much time that the students don't know how to have fun. They give Nicki Ongun parties and attend dances, as well as getting together at the numerous cafes Nicki must translate the work from to chat. Turkish to English and then to French. One of the American customs Nicki found strange was that of "going Though the language has presented a barrier, Nicki has found school to shopping." "Girls go shopping for fun in the be less pressured than in Turkey. United States. In Turkey we go shop"In Turkey, school was much faster ping when we need something." paced. The students go to school from Life in Turkey is not as fast paced nine in the morning until 4 p.m. They and hurried as in America Though set study hard and learn much in one day. in a politically turbulent area, the It almost seems too rushed, too much culture itself is peaceful tension."

While reflecting on times past, through teachers' college while still McGuerty remembers the instructor managing to make the dean's list.

â&#x20AC;˘I understand why it (the women's movement) existed, but I didn't feel the hate. I hoped to achieve day by day, as an individual, the same things."
Arriving at Palomar shortly before 9 a.m., she admits to "getting here early just to hear the music from the clock tower."
Further explaining her philosophy, McGuerty says she "remains unimpressed by power and rank," and confesses trying to "help others beat the system which holds them down."
From 9 am. to 1 p.m. the students come to her one-room abode here and hopefully leave feeling a little bit better. "My job is to help them discover they don't have to be hurting," she mused.

After a few hours at home in the afternoon doing chores, reading, or walking, it's off to Escondido High School where she teaches civics and GED until 9 p.m. Rather than going straight home, McGuerty says she sometimes takes the long way home on back roads.
Since moving to California in 1979, McGuerty has jammed her days and nights with teaching GED courses, self-awareness programs, and counseling for the California Conservation Corp. All in addition to her work at Palomar. Her typically busy days begin at 5:30 a.m. when she exercises for 30 minutes before a light breakfast. For a taste
With long days, and being in possession of such energy, an observer would be inclined to cat egorize McGuerty as a group leader of social movements or causes, i.e., the women's movement of the 1960's and 70's. But, McGuerty revealed, her involvement came "as an individual. I didn't need a club or a group to change my life and didn't feel that they (groups) necessarily would.
New Veterans benefits outlined Changes and improvements in a wide range of benefits and services provided by the Veterans Administration were signed into law recently by President Reagan. The bill affects VA programs ranging from disability compensation for disabled veterans to new initiatives in health care services. VA administrator Thomas K. Turnage hailed the signing as a "significant step in improving the quality and equity ofbenefits for American's veterans and their dependents." Turnage said, "The president has clearly demonstrated his support for effective federal programs that reflect his deep committment to the needs of those who have earned both our symbolic and tangible gratitude." Key portions of the Veterans' Benefits Improvement and Health Care Act of 1986: 1) Provides 1.5 percent cost of living increase in service-connected disability and death payments for veterans and surviving spouses and children effective immediately.
2) Authorizes the VA to provide respite care in a VA facility on an intermittent basis to a veteran who suffers from a chronic illness and who resides primarily at home. This would provide occasional relief to the veteran's family and others in the household from the severe phyusical and emotional burdens of care giving. 3) Authorizes the VA to provide home health services to eligible veterans wherever they reside, including those living in community institutions. 4) Adds residuals of frostbite and post-traumatic osteoarthritis to the list of disabilities of former prisoners of war that are presumed to be service connected for purposes of disability compensation. 5) Extends for three years the VA's authority to provide grants for the construction and acquisition of state veterans home facilities, and to make grants of up to $500,000 annually to support the Veterans Memorial Medical Center in the Republic of the Philippines. 6) Authorizes special housing adap-

tation grants to veterans who acquire homes already adapted with necessary special features. Such grants are currently authorized for the construction of such features. 7) Authorized apprenticeship/ onthe-job training and correspondence training under the New GI Bill. The law adds several benefit programs for severely service-disabled veterans to those already protected from loss of full funding by deficit reduction legislation. Included are specially adapted housing, burial benefits, automobile and adaptiveequipment-purchase assistance, vocational rehabilitation, and education assistance for survivors and dependents of certain service-disabled veterans. Beginning in 1987, the VA will provide upright grave markers in National Cemeteries, except for cemeteries scheduled to close before fiscal year 1992, and in sections of cemeteries where flat markers are currently being used. The law also directs the VA to establish a registry of veterans
exposed to ionizing radiation who have requested medical care or claim compensation for disabilities which may be associated with r adiation exposure. Continuing the effort to recognize women veterans and to insure they are aware of their equal entitlement to veterans benefits, the law makes Title 38language gender-neutral when reference is to an individual of either sex. In addition to programs administered by the VA, the new legislation¡ Enlarges current law protecting employees from discrimination based on their obligations as members of the Armed Reserves and National Guard by prohibiting private employers from discriminating against members seekingjobs. Extends for an additional three years the Veterans Readjustment Appointments (VRA) authority which allows federal agencies to appoint noncompetitively qualified disabled and Vietnam-era veterans to civil service positions at the GS-9 grade level or below.
On a less serious note, eyes sparkling, McGuerty says she's also "domestic," making note of this contradiction in her life. This recently divorced, mother of one son, said she likes to cook and really enjoys it when others appreciate her cooking. For the students who are constantly dropping in at the Center to chat, she untiringly greets each one, and then continues. "I would like to become a permanent part of Palomar. I'm enjoying it day-by-day." McGuerty has made that day-by-day commitment here in the Women's Center where, today, she lends a sympathetic ear to the students of Palomar. Tomorrow, could bring anything. "I'd love to have my own school someday," she says. "To change some of the traditional things in education. As far as the future goes? I'm not worried about it."

Kaumeyer takes All-American honors By Jeff Bradford
Tom Kaumeyer is probably the most well known football player at Palomar College this year. That's not to say that there were not other outstanding players on the Comet roster. There were. But according to local sportswriters and anybody who saw the Comets play, number 21 was the one to watch. Kaumeyer, who last month signed a two year scholarship agreement with the University of Oregon, was also named to the junior college AllAmerican first team. Defensive end Brad Henke and quarterback Jonathan Mitchell received honorable mentions. The JC Grid-Wire of Santa Ana announced its 27th annual All-American team December 10. Kaumeyer, a 6-0 lh, 190 pound sophmore who prepped under Craig Bell at San Dieguito High School, was joined in the first team All-American defensive backfield by Robert McWright of Ranger Junior College in Texas and JeffMahlstede of Fullerton. "I'm very happy for Tom. He certainly deserves it," said Palomar head coach Tom Craft. "We put him at the free safety position to get him involved in more plays and to give him the maximum notoriety and exposure." "He was able to take advantage of the situation and I knew he was going to be one of the most highly recruited community college players in the

country." Indeed Kaumeyer was offered scholarships to Arizona State, California (Berkeley), Oregon and Texas Tech. He chose the University of Oregon because they assured him a good amount of playing time. He is also interested in pursuing a ml\ior in business and he was impressed by the university's credentials in that area
position. (He played running back in high school) Finally, because San Dieguito had less than an impressive season his senior year. During his freshman year at Palomar though, things started to look up. Situated at the strong safety position he led the team in interceptions. Before the 1986 season Coach Craft moved him to free safety to get him in on more defensive plays. At this position he truly shined, leading the team in tackles and broken up passes. It was for the "big play" though, that he was especially recognized. During the game with San Diego
Mesa he returned a blocked field goal attempt for a touchdown and the winning margin. He also turned around the game at Grossmont late in the fourth when he returned a pass interception for a touchdown and then set the stage for an offensive touchdown drive with another interception. The week before receiving his AllAmerican honors, Kaumeyer was named the Mission Conference defesive player of the year. "As happy as I am for Tom, I'm equally disappointed for Brad Henke, because he deserved to make something better than honorable mention,"
Kaumeyer thinks he was overlooked out of high school for a number of reasons. One, he was overshadowed by the other outstanding players on the team. Two, he did not really settle into a comfortable niche at his current
Wrestlers place third in state finals By Jeff Bradford
John Woods' wrestling team, the state community college defending champions, had to settle for a third place standing in the state championships at Bakersfield December 13. Lassen College, which was favored throughout the year, came away from the tourney with the team title. Located in the Northeastern California community of Susanville, Lassen was far and away the leader of the state tournament. They put 39 points between themselves and the second place team, Diablo Valley. Lassen finished with 125 1/2 points, Diablo Valley had 861/2 and Palomar had 791/2. The season ended exactly as it had been ranked all year long. Lassen led the state ranking all season, followed by Diablo Valley and Palomar. "We needed Lassen to stumble a bit if we were going to take first place, but they didn't. They wrestled real well," said coach Woods. Cypress College also placed in the position they were ranked at all year, fourth with 62 1/2 points. The rest of the teams in the top 10 were Gavilan 56 1/2, Mount San Antonio 44, Cer-
ritos 43 1/2, Moorpark 42 1/2, El Camino 39 and Sacramento City College 36 1/2. Only two of the Comet wrestlers advanced to the finals. In the heavyweight division Paul Mirmingos, who was rated No. 1 in the state with a record of 28-1, suffered a fustrating 5-3 upset at the hands of Cypress' Bill Flores. Adam Cole took a second in the 190 pound finals. He lost to Diablo Valley's John Mclntrye 4-2. The loss permitted Diablo Valley to secure second place. Also placing for the Comets were Brian Buffone with a third at 126 pounds; Rick Lambert, fourth at 167; Lenny Pazik, fourth at 158; Adam Banks, fifth at 142, Casey Hankin, the Comets' most valuable wrestler at the Southern Regionals, sixth at 118; and Greg Gavino, seventh at 134 pounds. The team did not place at 150 and 177 pounds. Lassen College won four weight classes. Coach Woods will have to wait at least one more year to secure his fourth state community college title. He previously has taken titles in 1977, 1983, and 1985. "All of our guys made good efforts," says Woods. "Were grateful for our position. We wrestled well."
Cagers make 'fast food'record--7-11 Coach Andy Gilmour's basketball team has a record of 7-11 after being eliminated from their own tournament in the second round. The Comets lost a close game to Citrus College in the first round of Palomar's 12th annual men's baketball tournament December 27 through 29 in the Dome. In the consolation semi-fmals the Comets faced up against College of the Canyons and suffered a heartbreaking 75-73loss. Citrus won the tournament championship behind freshman forward Kevin Kurtz's 29 points, stunning Glendale College 88-77 in the finals. Palomar was bumped from the tourney when the Canyons' 6-10 center Mitch McMullen scored the winning basket off an inbounds play with two seconds left on the clock. The score was tied at 73 with 10 seconds left to play. Canyons brought the ball downcourt and called a timeout with four seconds left on the clock. From there they set up the winning inbounds play, a pass to McMullen who was directly under the basket. The Comets tried to call timeout as time expired. "(Dave I Craven played a heck of a game for us, and Gary (Williams I played well, but after that we didn't have much," said Coach Gilmour. Williams led the Comets with 26 points and 15 rebounds, while Craven added 18 points and 11 rebounds.

said Craft. Kaumeyer agrees with Craft about Henke and Mitchell. "Brad just didn't get the kind of exposure one needs to get named All-American. He came to Palomar right before the season started. Jon definitely would have been better had he not been hurt." Henke, a 6-4, 265 pound sophomore, led the Mission Conference in quarterback sacks and was also a unanimous all-conference first team pick. He is being recruited by USC, Arizona State, San Diego State, California and Oregon State. "I think the fact that Brad transferred here (from Iowa State) just prior to the season hurt him when they voted for All-American," Coach Craft said. "You have to have time to build somebody up. That may not be fair, but that's the way it is." About Mitchell Craft says, "Jonathan was on his way to breaking national JC passing records. If he hadn't gotten hurt, we would have won a few more games and he would have received some more post season honors." Kaumeyer says he learned a lot from Craft and the Palomar program. "We were in a tough league, so there was good competition. Coach Craft is doing good things with the program here." About his free time Kaumeyer says, "Other than football I'm a pretty boring guy. I work out, I study and on Sundays I lie around and watch football."
In less recent action the Comets finished the pre-Christmas Riverside tournament with two wins and two losses. Williams, a 6-4 freshman forward from Dominguez High School in Comp. ton, continued to lead the Comets in scoring. · During the Comets' 100-95 win over Bellevue Community College of Washington, Williams poured through 40 points and came within three points of breaking the 28 year-old school single game scoring record held by Duane Barnes. He scored 30 points December 17 when the Comets suffered a crushing one point loss to San Bernadino Valley College on a shot from halfcourt at the buzzer.
In the consolation quarter finals, the Comets faced off against Bellevue College, a team visiting from the Pacific Northwest. The two teams were tied at 91-91 at the end of regulation play. Five minutes earlier the Comets were down by 11 points, but battled back to tie it up. In the overtime period Williams and Rodney Johnson combined to account for all of Palomar's points as the Comets outscored Bellevue 9-4 to take the win. Johnson scored five of the overtime points and Williams scored four. "He's something else," said Coach Gilmour of Williams. MOur guys are going to him when they know we need a basket and he usually gets one. He's an outstanding player, and he's a smart player," adds Gilmour.
Williams is currently leading the Comets in scoring with a per game average of 21 points. Eddie Hodges is next in line with a 15 point average. Williams drilled through 29 points December 19 when the Comets downed College of the Desert 83-77 in the consolation semifmals of the Riverside tourney. The freshman forward came back Saturday with a 22 point effort in the Comets' 90-75 loss to Imperial Valley College in the consolation finals. "IVC is very good and I think we were tired. We were on the road a lot...it has taken its toll," said Coach Gilmour. Between the Riverside and Palomar tournaments the Comets hosted Fullerton College. They lost 72--66. Tony Williams was the high scorer with 15 points.
