Johnson: orchid fanatic

"Terra Nova" by Ted Tally is the final production for the 1986-'87 theater season.

Patrick Larmer is directing this extraordinary play that deals with the ill-fated Antarctic expedition of the British Captain Robert Falcon Scott (Mark Klementsrud).

Craig Johnson isn't your stereotypical orchid collector. He's a very calm, altruistic intellectual. But, underneath that unassuming exterior there lies a true fanatic.

For the last five years Craig and his orchids have become extremely well adapted to one another. How many has he grown? Ml've recently broken the thousandth mark.• Growing and studying orchids has become somewhat of an avocation. His plants have won many awards both locally and in statewide competition.

As the second vice-president of the Palomar Orchid Society, Johnson maintains an active schedule, not only with the society, but in attending an array of orchid shows from San Diego to Santa Barbara, including a show sponsored by the Palomar Orchid Society coming up March 28 and 29 at the Japanese Cultural Center in

Students who don't pay the college back for their financial aid loans can expect to hear from a collection agency that has been contracted to collect those unpaid loans.

According to Kent Backart, acting director of Financial Aid, these are loans of various types that have gone unpaid.

Backart also pointed out that the college may lose some future financial aid sources because students don't pay back their loans. Over the past 15 or 20 years, between 400 and 500 student accounts have become delinquent. That number is broken down to between 30 and 50 students each year.

The collecton agency, C & F Collection Services, has an office in San Diego. Backart says they have a good record of collection. Some methods of collecting accounts include telephone calls, skip-tracing and legal action.

Backart says legal action has only been used a few times. In those instances, the collection agency takes the student to small claims court.

Legal action also may mean that students who are expecting tax refunds may not get those refunds.

Spring dance concert set Rehearsals are in progress for the Spring Dance Concert June 5 to 7 at the Palomar College Community Theatre.

This year's sequences are designed especially to exhibit the variety, versatility and virtuosity of the dance department's faculty and students.

Faculty members Currie Pederson and Dorothie Bleth will blend their choreography with the virtuosity of Chopin as played by pianist Dr. Peter Gach of the Music Department, to furnish the tonal and rhythmic setting for members of the ballet workshop.

Jazz workshop students will render interpretations of every type of jazz from the 1950's style bop to funky jazz from MFast Forward." Dancers will interpret music of Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis.

Also, internationally acclaimed choreographer Tom Hansen will once again bring a bright splash to the stage with theatrical dance renditions of the MBallerina Gal," 'Tuxedo Junction," ~lack and Tan Fantasy" and "South Rampart St. Parade."

"Terra Nova" is drawn from the journals and letters found on the frozen body of Captain Scott.

The action of "Terra Nova" blends scenes of the explorer and his men at various stages of their ordeal, with flashbacks depicting Captain Scott and his young wife and fateful glimpses of his Norwegian rival, Roald Amundsen (Rick Palloziol), whose party beats Captain Scott to the South Pole.

"Terra Nova" is compelling study of heroism in the face of bitter failures.

Other cast members include Cali Maus, Bart Westbrook, Duane Daniels, Jerome Casey and Ed Sadkowski.

Performances are April 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on April 5 at 2 p.m. at the Palomar College Community Theatre.

Community colleges seek fair funding David Mertes, Chancellor/Superintendent of Los Rios Community college, wrote the following letter to Governor George Deukmejian in protest of the lack of funding for community colleges.

The letter was written on behalf of 24 community college districts, including Palomar. The financial crunch felt by community colleges throughout the state is an ongoing issue that affects more than one million people.

February 17, 1987 The Honorable Governor George Deukmejian State of California State Capitol Sacramento, California 95814 Dear Governor Deukmejian: Funding for the California Community Colleges involves two issues: a) the total level of funding for the California Community Colleges and b) the inequitable distributions of these funds to the seventy districts.

The inequitable distribution resulted from the passage of Proposition 13 when the Legislature froze funding levels. Those districts which were operating their colleges at a lower revenue per unit of ADA in 197778 have been continuously penalized. Since the base year 1977-78 was established the seventy districts have been operated at widely varying levels of support. The same issue in the K-12 system was addressed by the Serrano-Priest decision. The University of California and the California State University Systems fund their colleges on an equal basis.

Only community colleges continue to be funded with a wide disparity per unit of operation. There are two aspects to the problem: a) the long-term resolution which

needs to be permanently resolved in the development of legislation to replace SB 851 and b) the immediate problem of funding equalization for the current year, 1986-87.

The Governor's budget message in January, 1986, contained $8.9 million in equaliztion funds for California Community Colleges for 1986-87. The funds were included in the budget adopted in July, subject to modification of the distribution mechanism by California Community College Chancellor's Office and the Department of Finance. In January, 1987, the $8.9 million was impounded.

The twenty-four low-revenue districts listed below appeal for the restoration of these funds.

The impounding of the funds in mid-year directly impact further on those districts that have consistently received fewer dollars per unit of ADA. A mid-year reduction of this magnitude on these districts further increases the disparity of funding among the districts.

These twenty-four districts seek your assistance in restoring these already budgeted funds .

I am now the envy of all my friends .

I have gained the economic status that it takes years for people to reach.

In my mail the other day was a Fotomat Preferred Customer Card! And not only could I receive a second set of prints free . .. but I also could save 25% on a 8X10 enlargement.

After this, I thought, could there be more?

Could there be such happiness in one's life?

Soon after my Fotomat card arrived, I began to receive offers from American Express, Visa, and Diner's Club. All of these companies wanted me to have one of their cards. But I thought who wants these? All three reminded me that I have achieved a financial status making me eligible to receive their card.

As with the rest of my junk mail, I deposited their applications, with my name already printed by computer on them, into the trash.

I went out to get a card that not everyone could get.

It was my destiny to have this one credit card.

Yes: I wanted a K-MART Gold Card!

So, I visited my local K-MART and found the credit department somewhere between the fish tank department and gardening tools.

The clerk, still sucking on a straw from a half-empty Frostee drink, and mustard making its way over one of her chins from those moldy pretzels, gracefully said "Yeah? What can I do ya fer?"

"I want to apply for a K-MART Gold Card!"

"Oh yeah.

Young artists deliver quality performance

By Fred Tracey

Sincerely, At a time when music programs are threatened by budget cuts from the state, the instruments of young musicians have not been silenced, thanks to a program introduced by the Music Department.

It is within the Music Department that children are allowed to learn, rehearse and perform in an ensemble setting. Each Saturday they converge on the Music Department Complex under the supervision of Robert Gilson, Ulli Reiner and Vi Panman.

Recently, the North County Civic Youth Orchestras I and ll gave their first publicly offered performance at the Palomar College Community Theatre. Though not seasoned professionals, these young musicians put everything into their performances. The music was difficult, but these artists made it look easy.

The program on March 7 featured the North County Youth Orchestras, the San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra I and the Palomar Community Orchestra. The Youth Orchestra II performed four selections. The best was a performance of a brief excerpt from the fourth

She handed me my five page application and I made my way out of the store. I could't help notice the new line of Ted Koppel sportswear that had just come in.

I completed the bloody thing and waited for a reply. In the meantime, I was sent a Radio Shack Battery of the Month Card. I could get one free battery each month for a year. What luck I was having this week.

Ten days later K-MART sent me a rejection letter. Apparently three of the requirements to having a Gold Card was that you must be a Democrat (Strike One), own at least five Julio lglasias albums from the K-MART Record Department (Strike Two), and have participated in Hands Across America (Strike Three).

Oh well, I thought. But is there life after K-MART? What other high-class retail institutions are there? Time can only tell.

I

Dear Sir: I attended a seminar ¡oh campus this weekend. I was appalled at the litter in the student activities center. Have we forgotten to teach our children gOod citizenship? Will our cities become engulfed by piles of unsightly trash left by uncaring individuals?

Please--start good habits at home: keep the campus clean, and then carry those values out to your new jobs, and teach your children.

Litter is unsightly and unhealthly.

I really wanted to be Republican. To never go grey or balding. I wanted a Navy blazer and a red tie, I just couldn't afford them after paying for my college tuition and books.

There were always those small warnings in your foreign policy: trying to overthrow a legitimate government in Nicaragua, calling the Soviet Union the "Evil Empire."

It was so much more instructive to know that we were really dealing with Darth Vader than Mikhail Gorbachev. I just couldn't figure out if you were Luke Skywalker or Han Solo.

You'll survive the 'Iran arms-Contra aid' scandal, I'm sure. A few underlings will leave their heads on the courtroom floors and you'll gradually be stripped of your power by a democratically controlled House and Senate, but you'll survive.

We Americans are a simple people and like simple things; God, Country, the Flag. We tend to hold our presidents in a high light, forgetting that they are mere men.

When the light dims a bit, we may whisper and ask a few questions, but we want to believe. It is easier for us to think that you have the right answers and are not merely a well-packaged product.

movement from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The young musicians were very attentive and responsive to conductor Reiner.

The Youth Orchestra I, conducted by Robert Gilson, performed movements from familiar works by Mozart and Bach. These musicians, more experienced than their counterparts, did well, especially in J .S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Each of the string sections performed their part clearly.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was the performance by the San Diego Youth Orchestra I, conducted by Warren Toms. This orchestra, one of five in the San Diego program, is comprised of the most experienced players. The 36-member orchestra performed a Mozart overture as well as Borodin's Polovetsian Dances Nos. 8 and 17, and Prokofiev's 'Montagues and Capulets' from the Romeo and Juliet Suite No. 2 The solos from within the orchestra were of superior quality. The woodwinds and brass sections were excellent in their parts and solos. Provided that there is a San Diego Symphony Orchestra in the future, these musicians will have a place. And if not here, they should have no problem elsewhere.

The program concluded with J.S. Bach's Third Brandenburg Concerto, which was also performed earlier in the program by the Youth Orchestra I. This time members of the Youth Orchestra sat alongside members of the Palomar Community Orchestra, conducted

by Robert Gilson.

The performance was warm with excellent tonal quality in the strings, just right for a chamber orchestra setting. The performance was highlighted by a enthusiastic performance by the violas and cellos in the third movement.

The Sunday program repeated performances of selections performed by the Youth Orchestra's on Saturday. This concert also featured about 130 Suzuki violinists and cellists from San Diego County. It was a little overwhelming at first to hear over 100 children massed on the stage playing selections for beginning students, but the performances by these musicians, ranging in ages from 3 to 13, was quite good.

The best part of the program was the performance of the second movement of Seitz's Concerto No. 2 for Violin. Nineteen Suzuki soloists provided the violin part, led

by Vi Panman. The Palomar Community Orchestra provided the orchestral accompaniment. This was a moving performance, with high standards and excellent quality.

Gilson provided good narrative introductions, adding his own touch of humor during Sunday's final performance. At one point, he turned to the audience and said that "They love this music." The young musiCians have obviously benefitted from the instruction received here. This program has filled a gap where public schools either have no program, or provide no instruction in strings.

Honig: Children are used as political pawns

By Monica Nash

"The governor is holding our children's feet to the fire. I hate cruelty to children."

Nancy Honig, outspoken director of C.M.E.R. (California Movement for Educational Reform), is referring to the new budget proposed by Governor Deukmejian which would amount to a $600 million cut for K-12 funds.

"Our goal is to set up the most powerful lobby ever seen," said Honig.

"We have hired two of the top campaign companies in the country. We are fighting for all kids and public institutions of learning. We will take on any politician that is not for increasing aid to public schools."

According to information released by the State Department ofEducation, the new budget will cause elimination of school programs, teacher lay-offs and deferrment of textbook purchases. The pinch was already felt in San Francisco, with the lay-off of 590 teachers. Honig predicts that the problem will spread statewide.

"I'm traveling around the state, speaking to teachers and parents' groups. We are working to overturn the Gann Act and take control of

educational funding away from the state. It always messes it up."

Homg noted that the Governor's budget proposal would take away nearly all the new funding that the lottery put into education. With 100,000 new students entering the schools each year, increased costs of running schools and inadequate teachers' salaries, Honig believes that education is mistreated in the hands of the state.

Since 1983-84, the State Department of Education has been pushing for educational reform which would toughen graduation requirements, increase classroom time required for students and make schools more accountable for quality education.

Honig brought up the difficulty of accomplishing these goals with lack of support from the state.

"We would like pressure put on local legislators to back educational reform.

In North County, Senator Craven is at the top of the list to receive attention concerning this issue. We also need letters mailed to the governor with carbon copies sent to editors of local newspapers. A reform bill was recently introduced to change

Health Services offers immunization clinics Health Services is sponsoring a free measles, mumps and rubella immunization clinic March 23 through 27.

Times are as follows: March 23, 7 a.m.-2 p.m.; March 24, 7 a.m.-9 a.m. and 4 p.m.-9 p.m.; March 25, 10 a.m.9 p.m.; March 26, 7 a.m.-9 a.m. and 4 p.m.-9 p.m.; and March 27, 11 a.m.4p.m.

Measles outbreaks continue to occur among college students. This is a concern due to the high fatality rate among adults ( 1 in every 435 cases).

Rubella is a concern in colleges because of the high number of women of childbearing age in this population.

Both are completely preventable by immunization.

Public health experts recommend immunization for all who did not have a laboratory documented case (very easy to misdiagnose) or documentation of previous immunization.

'Strangers' trade murderous deeds "Strangers on a Train," an Alfred Hitchcock classic, is the cinema department's March 26 production.

The story is about two men who desperately want to have someone out of their lives. One, Farley Granger, agrees to kill the other's, Robert Walker's, wife. In exchange, Walker will kill Farley's father.

"Strangers on a Train" is the last black and white film Hitchcock made.

He (Hitchcock) was a traditional storyteller, but relied on innovative techniques," says instructor Richard Peacock The film will be presented in P-32, March 26 for two showings, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Admission is free and the public is welcome.

Diphtheria and tetanus boosters will also be available at this time for those who have not had a booster within the past ten years. Check your records to determine whether you are still protected.

Persons born between 1957-67 are the target population for measles immunization if they have: (1) No written medical documentation of immunization (2) No written documentation of titer level.

Immunizations are free to all students and staff. Protect yourself and others. Why risk being sick, missing school and/ or work, and exposing others unnecessarily'? No appointment is necessary at Health Services.

"We are organizing on all levels of education. We've raised over $200,000 so far. We are asking every school district to have a coordinator to raise funds, recruit and inform the public of the issues involved. We want input from everyone from the PTA to top administration officials."

Some unsettling statistics provided

by Honig and C.M.E.R. include California's national standing, ranked according to class size - 50th. California's classrooms are the most crowded in the country. California was rated 42nd in the country for percentage of all state and local funds spent on education and 47th on the scale of money spent per $1,000 of personal income - $33.69. Last year, California lavished $2,000 less per pupil on education than New York "We are fighting a war for the sake of our children!" Honig exclaimed.

They are being robbed of their future and their chance to make it in society.

Too much is at stake."

__ SP-ORTS Swimmers open league schedule

By Jeff Bradford

Opening their conference schedule, the men's and women's swim teams defeated Saddleback and Grossmont Colleges in a double-dual meet last Friday.

The men defeated Saddleback 135 to 63, and Grossmont 148-49. Freshman Tom Rutan was a double winner in Friday's meet. He took the 200 yard freestyle in 1:50.27 and the 500 freestyle in 4:58.38.

Jose McNally, freshman from Vista took the 200 individual medley in

Golf squad wins at Riverside match Following an impressive victory in the Riverside Tournament, March 6, the Palomar golf squad found its return to Orange Empire Southern Division action a little more difficult March 9.

Coach Bob Lusky's Comets, in a tie for second place going in and with a chance to move up in the conference standings, finished third in the Southern Division weekly tournament.

Host Saddleback won the tournament with 384, followed by the Comets at 397 and San Diego City College at 419.

Brad Baumann and Clark Renner were low scorers for Palomar, both with 77s for 18 holes. Rob Sherman shot an 80, Richard Reynoso 82 and Jeff Bender 87.

John Wardrup of Saddleback took Medalist honors with a 71.

Tennis coach confident despite losing start Hindered by lack of experience the men's tennis team remains win-less after four conference matches.

Though "close in all matches," Coach Jon Cnossen feels his players may not be ready "for the step up to college tennis."

Consisting of only two sophomores and seven freshman, Cnossen feels his players will do better the second half of the season.

Bright spots have been Charles Stahlheber and Joey Lira who could be the nucleus of a strong team of returning sophmores next year.

2:05.53; Speed Farris the 100 freestyle 49:95; Bob Baranek the 1000 freestyle in 20:41.31; Bill Richardson the 200 breaststroke in 2:22.96; and Mike Hickey the 200 butterfly in 2:22.31.

Dan Osgood won the diving event with a score of 199.40.

"Saddleback was supposed to be pretty tough, but for one reason or another, they were not as strong as first supposed. We didn't have much of a problem with them," said swim coach Don Hubbard.

The men also had a good day on Saturday when they took first place in the swimming pentathlon held at Saddleback McNally took first place overall, while Rutan placed fifth , Farris seventh, Richardson eighth, and Brian Seymour tenth.

Under the direction of coach Patti Waterman, the women also defeated both Saddleback and Grossmont during Friday's action. The Lady Comets downed Saddleback 137-116 and crushed Grossmont 167-54.

The team of Rhonda Haley, Leslie Peck, Kathy Meehanand and Megan Yancey took first in the 200 medley relay with a time of 2:03.

Other first place honors went to: Yancey in the 50 yard freestyle, 27:33; Haley in the 100 butterfly, 1:05.87; and Tara Stierle in the 100 individual medley, 1:12.34.

The women also took first place in the 200 freestyle relay. The winning team consisting of Peck, Yancey, Haley and Stierle, clocked 1:49.43. Lisa Smedley took first place for the Comets in the women's diving competition.

"They (Saddleback) had good quality, but not enough depth," said coach Waterman.

Unfortunately, the women did not fare as well in Saturday's swimming pentathlon. They had to settle for fifth place, partly because they were forced to swim without two of their best swimmers.

In other recent action, both the men and women routed Fullerton March 3. The women won 117-42, while the men were victorious 116-55. The next day Dan Osgood won the diving pentathlon for the second year in a row with an overall score of 327.

The swim teams travel to Mt. San Antonio College today and tomorrow to participate in the Mountie Invitational.

____ SP-ORTS Softballers top Imperial Valley

By Wallace Stoddard

"I love it." exclaimed Comet softball coach Mark Eldridge about his team's exceptional start.

After twelve games the Comets have yet to lose a contest.

Continuing their conference schedule, Palomar defeated Imperial Valley 19-3 on March 11. Linda Salseth pitched an excellent game and also contributed three hits.

First year outfielder Kristina Barber led the team with four hits, freshman catcher Caroline Reesider garnered three singles, while four Comets had at least two hits during the onslaught.

"We always have a good team," said Eldridge, who has a 235-82 record and six championships to his credit in his ten years at the helm of the Comet team.

In the Bakersfield tournament played March 6-8, Palomar swept all four games to take the championship.

With Karrie Schott on the mound the Comets held all four opponents to a mere two runs.

Eldridge is pleased with the performance of his freshmen pitcher. "Karrie has been an outstanding pitcher, but we also have a number of other good players."

Schott's performance earned her

the tournament's outstanding pitcher award, while freshmen catcher Malia Faumunia received the most valuable player award. Additionally, sophomores Amy McDonald and Carin Adams and freshmen Karin Yehling were named to the all tournament team.

"This is an extraordinary year. This is one of the best teams we've had," beamed softball coach Mark Eldridge following his team's conference opening 14-1 thrashing of San Diego City, March 5.

Returning from an injury, sophomore outfielder Adams lead the team, composed mostly of reserve players, with four hits.

"San Diego City is usually a weak team," commented Eldridge. "Our second string people are excellent players, so I figured that we would be able to get them into the game."

Eldridge pointed to freshmen pitchers Ranel Meers and Kathy Contreras who teamed up to hold SDCC to one run . "They haven't pitched very much at all this year, but they did a really good job."

The Comets continue conference play here today against San Diego Mesa at 3 p.m. Tomorrow the team travels north to the Fullerton tournament.

Baseballers win three of five

By Jerry Bennington

Friday the thirteenth was definitely not lucky for Coach Bob Vetter's baseballers. They lost to San Diego Mesa 6-5.

Homeruns produced all of the Comets' scoring. David Clayton cleared the bases in the first inning on a three-run shot, and Dub Kruse popped a two-run pinch hit homerun in the eighth inning.

Mesa scored two runs in the second, sixth and seventh innings. The Comets, however, knocked on Mesa's door in the ninth inning loading the bases, but were unable to squeeze in a run.

Pitcher Mark Ungerbiller threw well for the Comets, but was relieved in the fifth after throwing out from too many pitches.

After the Friday the 13 blues, Palomar came back to defeat visiting MiraCosta 4-2 Saturday.

Scott Anderson put the Comets ahead in the fifth inning on a two-run double, while Mike Ponio added one run in the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly.

The defensive play of the day came in the fifth inning when Comet outfielder Yale Fowler leaped above the right field fence to snatch a three-run homerun away from MiraCosta.

Eric Larson pitched the distance for the locals, giving up only six hits.

Anderson and Fowler each knocked a double and single.

Tomorrow the Comets battle Imperial Valley here at 1 p.m.

Grossmont errors gave the Comets a 6-4 victory March 12.

With two outs, Comet Fowler ripped a single. After Ponio walked, Grossmont brought in a relief pitcher. He threw his first pitch in the dirt,

advancing the runners to second and third.

He threw his next pitch to the backstop and Fowler scored. The catcher's return throw was high. The pitcher swatted the ball and it rolled to the backstop again, Ponio scoring.

Ponio pitched the distance for his second conference win. Rick Afenir finished the day with two singles for two RBI's.

The Comets were not quite as fortunate on March 5 as they lost to Imperial Valley 7-6.

Afenir knocked a bases loaded double in the fifth inning to score three runs for the Comets and David Clayton slapped a sixth inning solo homerun.

Afenir finished with four of the game's six RBI's.

After blasting through the eighth inning with ten runs, the Comets
