Election results protested by senators New ASG head accused of misconduct

Serrato makes plans despite accusations

By Fred Tracey

By Tom Fitzpatrick Juan Serrato was elected president of the Associated Student Government and Shawn Clark was elected vice president in a vote that took place May 4 through 7. The 402 ballots were counted an hour later than scheduled on May 8 amid allegations of improper candidate conduct and illegal campaigning. ASG Election Committee officials considered putting off the tally until Monday, May 11, but ruled that the charges did not justify any further delay. Serrato won the presidential race with 46 percent of the ballots cast. Other candidates for president included Ken Green, who received 33 percent of votes, and Mary Reynaga, who received 21 percent. Shawn Clark won the vicepresidential race with 46 percent of ballots cast, followed by Paul Hammer with 39 percent. President-elect Serrato's work could prove especially difficult as a result of the animosity created between ASG Senate officials in the election. His attitude, however, is optimistic. "Our main objective is to work, to the best of our abilities, together. Our plans of action are not plans of disunity or dissent, but neither are they plans of dictatorship," said Serrato. Toward that end, Serrato is for establishing a new ASG constitution that would enlarge the ASG Senate and remove many of the ambiguities of the current constitution. The proposed constitution, written with the U.S. Constitution in mind, "will function like our federal system" according to Serrato. Other objectives of the new executive include increasing ASG revenue through ASB card sales, improving communications with other colleges and following through with one of his more publicized campaign promises - tearing down the no-dance policy on campus. In the immediate future, the president will be faced with decisions on the 1987-88 budget. The new budget will be "pretty much the same as it is now," according to Serrato, although he warns that budgets may be cut "if money is spent where it's not doing anything good, like being a little parasite. "If we're here for education, I think that should be what we are targeting." Vice-president-elect Shawn Clark shares Serrato's optimism and his willingness to work with the ASG Senate. "I'd like to see it [the animosity in the ASG Senate) all ironed out as quickly as possible," said Clark. Voter turnout was improved over the last two elections, by 76 percent over last October's senatorial election and 351 percent over last year's presidential race. Much of the improvement could be attributed to the number of candidates in the last two elections, as in the previous presidential race there was only one candidate and in the last senatorial election ten people ran for ten open positions.

Board considers smoking ban By Fred Tracey

Palomar College may become the second community college in California to ban smoking from all buildings. If approved by the Governing Board, the new policy would go into effect the first day of the summer session, June 22. The new policy was introduced by college staff at the Governing Board meeting May 12. The no smoking policy is heavily supported by the college's Wellness Team, a campus committee created to improve the health of college employees. The Wellness Team became "concerned" after a Surgeon General's

report on smoking was released which stated that passive smoke (smoke emitted into the air between puffs) can cause lung cancer in healthy nonsmokers. Several board members said that there should be certain rooms or designated areas on campus where students and staff could smoke. But Business Manager Mike Gregoryk reported that there are no proper ventilation systems in any rooms on campus to filter the smoke out of the rooms. Judy Eberhart, a member of the Wellness Team and a strong supporter of the proposed policy, said that the college will not be banning smoking

altogether, as some people might believe. "There hasn't been an uproar about this policy. It has been tried. We know it can work here," she says. There were no students or staff present at the board meeting to speak in opposition. But one student did appear to show support for the policy.

Allegations of misconduct during the recent ASG campaign have been raised which could force a new election to be called. These allegations involve a "physical confrontation" and a verbal attack made against a member of the college's staff. ASG senator Michael J. Buell is charging that newly elected ASG president Juan Serrato and two members of his campaign committee have violated several sections of the ASG's constitution. Buell contends that on May 5, Darrel Rodgers "verbally assaulted" student activities secretary Marilyn Lunde in her office. Buell claims that Rodgers told Lunde that "as soon as they came to power, she would be gone." Lunde confrrmed the incident and said that this had not been the frrst t ime Rodgers had acted in this manner. "This wasn't the frrst time, so I took it lightly," says Lunde. "I don't think he's a very nice student. He was very upset. Darrel seems to think I was playing favorites. "He thinks this office doesn't play by the rules. He has a vision that I am hindering student government. So consequently he doesn't like me." Also on May 5, Buell claims to have overheard Rodgers campaigning for Juan Serrato in the Student Union, which is a violation of the ASG's election code. Buell says he saw Rodgers with two other students. As Buell approached Rodgers, Buell said he heard Rodgers seeking "votes for Juan." Rodgers said that he was discussing how he and Paul Mukomela got "30 votes for Juan."

EDITORIAL

Memorial Day rites honor war dead By Juan Blanco Memorial Day is an official holiday in most parts of the United States. It is also a day to honor the servicemen who gave their lives for this country. Memorial Day was first set aside in memory of those who died during the Civil War. The custom of placing flowers on the graves of the dead began in 1866 in New York , recognized by Congress as the offical birthplace of the holiday. After World War I, the day was set aside once again, this time to honor the war dead of all American wars, and the custom was extended to pay homage to deceased relatives and friends, both military and civilian. Memorial Day was first observed on May 30 in most states, which is a time when spring

flowers are in bloom. Then in 1971, the date was changed to the last Monday of the month of each year. Some states in the south observe a Confederate Memorial Day. In Georgia, it is observed on April 26. In Mississippi and Alabama, it is on the last day of April. On May 10, it is observed in South Carolina, and in Virginia, Confederate Memorial Day is on the last Monday of May. Whatever the date Memorial Day happens to be on despite the 1971 change, however, the idea will always be the same - - to honor the men who died in battle. Official flags are placed at half-mast until noon to honor the dead G.I.'s. The most solemn ceremony conducted on Memorial Day is placing a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.

'Really bad day' is defined; sleep late, flunk test, lose girl By C.Matthew Swinden I had a really bad day the other day ... not just a "bad day," but a REALLY BAD DAY. It all started when I went to sleep at 4:30 that morning because I had been trying to study for a major statistics test I had later that morning. (Have you ever noticed that whenever you try to study all your friends call you at that time? So you never really get anything accomplished.) Unfortunately for me, in my dazed state, I had set the alarm for 7:30 p.m. instead of 7:30a.m. so I woke up at 9:15a.m. when my roomate came in to borrow my shampoo. He had used up all of his Johnson's Baby Shampoo. I had already missed my accounting class and another lecture. For some reason I knew that it was not going to be a good day. I could see it coming. I jumped into the shower and found out that not only had my roomate used my shampoo, but he had also used up all of the hot water. After the shower I was fully awake and the day was heading downhill .... With only 20 minutes to make it to school to take my long waited statistics test, I did just a little faster than the speed limit on Rancho Santa Fe Road ... O.K., 35 miles faster than the posted speed limit. Then it happened. I was approaching the RSF and La Costa intersection and I looked down for a split second, when a brown Ford Pinto (license of ---ZXI) driven by a female Palomar

student (because of the green parking sticker on the windshield) ran the red light and pulled out in front of me. Fortunately for me, Sam Winston had just replaced my brakes and they worked!! I just narrowly missed having a brown Pinto as a hood ornament. I knew then that today was a bad day, and it was still mid-morning. As I have mentioned before in my articles, driving through San Marcos is an experience to say the least and today was no exception. Have you ever noticed when you are in a hurry, all of the stop lights are red, while when you want to take your time all the lights are green? This was a bad day. By the time I had reached the parking lot, I was late for my test, and of course everybody else had decided to show up for school too, so there were no available parking spaces. So I decided to be daring and created my own space. After I took and tailed the statistics test, just like most of the class, I decided it was time to go home to bed. As I walked out to my car, I could not only see one yellow piece of paper but two. · "Had the Patrol given me two tickets for my slightly illegal parking job?" No, just one ticket. But the other was a note from a girl who I had been dating informing me that she is going back to her old boyfriend. Then I knew that the day was REALLY A BAD DAY.

TO WATCH,

OPINION

Vegetarian eschews carnivorous conduct By Monica Nash I recently returned from a convention. The highlight was the banquet dinner. It was a special meal of roast beef, baked potato and buttered beets. The beef sat on the plate enticingly, swimming in its own blood and grease. I asked the waitress for a plate without the "bovine delight." I was told that the meal didn't come without it. A portly gentleman at the end of the table volunteered to eat my portion of cow. I gave it to him. I didn't do him any favor. A vegetarian is often put in a defensive position. I've been told that it's not natural to abstain from eating meat. After all, man is the highest animal on the evolutionary scale. We're at the top of the food chain. We're entitled to eat all of the animals smaller and weaker than us. With a gun, we can eat the big ones, too. You can see it on a chart in biology class. For example, the wolf eats the rabbit, the dog eats the cat, etc. There's just one problem. Physically, man is not a carnivorous animal. The structure of meat-eating animals is entirely different from man's. We don't have the elongated jaw, the same kind of teeth, or the digestive system to handle meat. For example, the length of man's intestines is two or three times longer than that of carnivorous animals. Our bodies don't digest meat easily or well. We don't get rid of it quickly enough. It's easy to find this information but most meat-eaters don't want to know. By the age of 40, the average man has five pounds of undigested meat in his system. What does that leftover meat do for twenty

or thirty years? It rots. It creates disease. Check out the statistics comparing the health of populaces who eat meat with those who don't. Pay attention to the rates of colon cancer and heart disease. The human body does not assimilate protein well, in the form of meat. In addition to the meat you eat, you're getting the additives that keep it from smelling and the food coloring that makes it a pretty red instead of a dead grey, and the antibiotics and steroids that the animal injested. Investigate the effects of the uric acid in meat on the human body. Those are my intellectual reasons for abstaining from meat. I have others that are less logical, but compelling. I don't like cruelty in any form. Have you ever visited a slaughterhouse? Probably not, the smell and the noise drives most people away. Those animals know what's coming while they stand in line and wait their turn. They are terrified. Talk to an employee of a meat-packing place. They have to get tough. Often they won't eat the meat products they package. I won't even mention possible laxity in inspection in this area. I recently read a story about Gandhi, the great Indian pacifist. He was raised vegetarian. At the age of 17 he had a moment of youthful rebellion and ate goat's meat. He said that he never repeated the action because for months afterwards he had nightmares that a live goat was bleating in his stomach. I guess the turning point in my decision to become a vegetarian was a lecture given by a vegetarian teacher years ago. "Eating pork is like eating cancer," he said. "Pork is full of pus. That's why it tastes so sweet." Check it out.

LETTER TO EDITOR By Michael Buell Last fall , you, the students of Palomar College elected me, Michael J. Buell, to the office of senator. At that time I swore to serve the students of Palomar to the best of my ability. Such a time has arrived. The May election for Associated Student president and vice-president concluded last week, with quite a quite a high voter turnout I am glad to state! But behind the scene there was trouble. I am not about to tell you the "Gossip" I have heard from other students, but, as your elected official, will state what I have experienced first hand. On May 5, 1987, Darrel Rodgers, a student at Palomar College and a member of Mr. Juan Serrato's Presidential Campaign Machine verbally assaulted Marilyn Lunde, Student Activities secretary. Mr. Rodgers told her that as soon as "they" came to "power" she would be gone! This type of verbal abuse is a violation of the Student Conduct Code, Section A-4, and was in no way warranted.

Later that morning I heard Darrel Rodgers campaigning for Mr. Juan Serrato in the Student Union. This was a direct violation of your constitution, Code Section III, Election code number 3.223 which allows the judicial advocates to establish where campaigning is allowed. The Student Union was one place where it was forbidden once voting began. Then last Friday the icing on the cake. As I left a meeting Mr. Rodgers and Juan Serrato confronted me and asked my opinion on a certain issue. After stating my opinion, which I felt would be the best for the students of Palomar College, Mr. Juan Serrato verbally and physically assulted me. Are these the type of people you want representing Palomar College? The answer for me is an easy Nay! I needed to bring these facts to your attention. That is my obligation and I ask you not to turn your back on this problem! Sincerely, Michael J . Buell Associated Student Government Senator

By Fred Tracey One of the most famous symphonies of the classical music repertoire, Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor, will be performed as part of the Palomar Community Orchestra's annual President's Concert. Robert Gilson will conduct. The Beethoven Fifth is probably the most familiar of Beethoven's nine symphonies. The flrst four notes of the opening movement have made the symphony a favorite with concert goers. The concert will also feature the Palomar Chorale with Galen Darrough directing several short choral selections. The program will also feature the 1987 Music Teachers Association of San Diego County Concerto Competition winners. The four 12-year old artists will perform one movement each from their winning concerto.

By Fred Tracey The Associated Student Government budget could increase by at least $180,000 if the ASG card is made mandatory for students to purchase. But ASG Senator Ken Green doesn't want students to be forced to buy the cards. So he's proposing that a coupon book be made available to go along with the card. "We're going to make it worthwhile for the students to have the card," he said. Green wants to put coupons from area business in the booklet. By doing this, he said, the students and the community will benefit from the sale of the ASG card. The extra income could benefit many segments of the college, Green said. The cards could cost between $8 and $10. Rio Honda, MiraCosta and Grossmont College's require their students to buy ASG cards if they are going to buy textbooks. Green plans to work on the development of the ASG card and the coupon book so that the cards and the coupon book are ready by the fall semester.

Unearthing the Past Photos and story by Tom Fry Archeology is the process of unearthing and studying the remains of previous civilizations. There are a variety of archeology courses offered here which comprise the Palomar Archeology Team. Archeology Team students learn about and participate in many different activities. For example, they do excavation, which is the process of removing measured segments of soil from the ground and sifting it through one-eighth inch screens to separate dirt from possible artifacts. Secondly, they do surveying which is the process of mapping the terrain of the land with respect to the location of cultural remains. Finally, they do lab analyses of the remains found. This is where most of the formulations are made as to what kind of culture( s) may have inhabited the excavation site, and what the behavioral habits of these culture(s) might have been. When the students fmish excavating sites, they publish reports on their fmds in various journals so that other scientists may benefit from their research. This provides a true sense of accomplishment assuring them that all of the research they performed will continue to benefit professionals for years to come. Archeology courses here are designed to ensure student enjoyment. They stress the importance of hands-on-learning. The students work as a team, sharing the excitement as well as the disappointments of their fmdings.

Tay-Sachs disease tests offered By Kimberly Parsley Tay-Sachs disease is a fatal genetic disorder. Free testing for this disease will be offered in the Student Union from 9 a.m. to I p.m. May 26 and 27. Tay-Sachs is caused by a chemical lack of Hex-A in the blood. Hex-A breaks down fat in brain cells. Without it the fat accumulates. A child born with the disease appears normal. By six months he is partially paralyzed. By a year he is completely paralyzed and partially blind. By eighteen months he develops seizures and needs to be fed by tubes. At this point the child is usually institutionalized at costs of $75,000 to $100,000 a year. Typically, Tay-Sachs children die of pneumonia or heart failure. Messages don't get from the brain to the heart or lungs because of the fat build-up. In 1970 UCSD in doing Tay-Sachs research, discovered that the condition was caused by a lack of Hex-A Furthermore, the parents of the

children each had half the normal amount of the chemical. A simple blood test was developed to test for carriers of the disease by evaluating levels of Hex-A in the bloodstream. "We put a needle in the arm and take only about two teaspoonfuls of blood. Then the sample is sent to UCSD Medical Center to analyze Hex-A levels," says Amanda Thorne, afflliated with the testing program. "Our flrst goal is education. We will be speaking in classes the week of May 18-22, giving slide presentations and announcements. Our second goal is to screen the individuals on campus, and to offer carriers free follow-up counseling," says Thorne. The Tay-Sachs carrier rate in the general population is one in 150. Among people of Jewish descent the figure is one in 30. Does this mean that non-Jews are safe from this disease? "No, within the last ten cases of Tay-Sachs children in California there were two Jewish,

Pregnant women who would like to be tested are advised to contact the main office at 543-6482. The examination and test is free of charge. "Our organization is funded by the state, because rather than absorbing the costs of institutionalizing a TaySachs child, they would rather use the money testing people to prevent TaySachs babies," says Thorne.

Hollywood often makes movies about itself. The Cinema Department's May 28 showing of 'Shampoo' is just such a movie. "Shampoo," directed by Hal Ashby, stars Warren Beatty, Goldie Hawn and Julie Christy. "It's an honest rum that exposes the sleaze and hype of Hollywood in 1975, when it was made," said Instructor Richard Peacock The storyline tells about a hairdresser's (Warren Beatty) rise to fame in Hollywood. Through his eyes, you get a glance into the bedrooms of Beverly Hills, the hometown of motion pictures. 'Shampoo' will be shown twice on May 28, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in P-32. Admission is free and the public is welcome.

Softballers fall short • 1n bid for state title By Jeff Bradford

Mark Eldridge's softball team will be on the wrong side of the backstop at San Marcos Junior High tomorrow and Sunday when they host the state community college championships. The Cornets' season ended a week too early last Sunday when they dropped back-to-back games to Rancho Santiago 3-0 and Saddleback 71 in the serni-fmal rounds of the Southern California regionals at San Marcos Junior High. Defending state champions, Rancho Santiago swept the regionals without a loss and beat Saddleback in the finals to claim the So. Cal. title. Both teams will advance to the state tournament where they will meet the top two teams from Northern California. Palomar beat Rancho Santiago both times that the two teams met in the regular season. The Cornets were undefeated in their three games with Saddleback as well. The Cornets, who were seeded frrst for the tourney, played in very uncharacteristic style last Sunday. Pitcher Karrie Schott fell victim to her teammates' errors in the field; all 10 runs that she gave up were unearned. The team made nine errors in two games. Against Rancho Santiago the Cornets were held to two hits by the Dons' pitcher, Joyce Lyman. The Lady Dons scored all three runs in the fourth inning. The winners' bracket loss sent the Cornets against Saddleback, who they had beaten 2-1 the night before. The Gauchos jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third inning of the losers bracket finals. Toni Cuckrov tallied one more in the fourth, and they ran the score up to 7-0 in the top of the sixth inning with the help of five Cornet errors. Palomar had eight errors for the game. Saddleback did not win, the Cornets lost. The Cornets would not go down without somewhat of a fight though. Team captain Charla Reece scored the only run of the game in the bottom of the seventh inning when Malia Faurnuina drove a double past the Saddleback shortstop, driving Reece in from second.

"That showed me sornthing," said Eldridge "No matter what else happened, this team did not give up." The Cornets won their first two rounds of competition in the regional tourney on Saturday, defeating Moorpark and Saddleback. Karrie Schott pitched back-to-back four-hitters to down eighth seed Moorpark 3-1 in the frrst round and fifth seed Saddleback 2-1 in the following round. In the latter game the Cornets trailed Saddleback, 1-0 for two and a half innings after the Gaucho's fourth inning run before bouncing back to grab a dramatic victory in the bottom of the seventh. Up to that point Saddleback's pitcher Patti Taylor, the 1986 Orange County Player of the Year, had thrown a one-hitter. Dowler started Palomar off with a single up the middle. Adams carne up next and walked. McDonald doubled to left field and drove in Dowler who had to wrestle her way past the Gaucho catcher in order to reach the plate and tie the game at 1-1. Taylor struck out Reece, but Karrie Schott singled and the Cornets had the bases loaded with only one out. Faurnuina hit a grounder to Taylor who fielded it and threw horne, forcing Adams out.Catcher Debbie Hartwig threw to first base to try and get Faurnuina for the double play. McDonald scored the winning run on Hartwig's misjudgment. In the Moorpark game, Reece broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning by tripling to left-center, driving in Dowler and McDonald. The Raiders scored during the bottom of the same inning, narrowing the lead to 2-1. In the top of the seventh, Dowler doubled to right-center and drove in Kim Schott for the final score of the game. Karrie Schott retired 13 batters · · during Saturday's action. She fmished her freshman season 34-8. Karrie Schott, Faurnuina, Reece and McDonald were named to the alltournament team. Dowler was the leading batter in the tourney with a .454 average. Palomar fmished their season with a win-loss record of 40-9, the team's winningest season ever.

"Missed it by that much," one might say about the Cornets. As the comeback team of the year, they finished in style, but missed the playoffs by a half a game. Despite two consecutive victories over frrst place Southwestern, the locals had to settle for third place when San Diego Mesa defeated San Diego City May 12. The Cornets May 13 win did, however, knock Southwestern out of first place and put Mesa on top. Palomar entered the May 12 game with Southwestern having won six straight and 10 of their last 12. Pitcher Mike Ponio dominated the game. He tossed a three hitter as Palomar won 4-1, Ponio struck out seven, walked three, and gave up one unearned run to gain his tenth victory of the year and complete the season. He had an 8-3 Pacific Coast Conference mark. Sam Masaniai drove in two runs with two singles. Dub Kruse knocked in a run on three singles. David Dematteis, Tino Lozano and Willy Morris also hit safely. On the following day the Cornets defeated Southwestern 5-4 to complete an April 2 protest game. The action resumed in the top of the first inning with Palomar down 3-

walk off the field after being eliminated in last weekend's Southern California softball regionals. The team finished their winningest year with a 40-9 record. (Photo by Tom Fry)

The Comets scratched their way .back and, in the ninth inning Willy Morris led off with a double. He then scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly from Ricky Afenir. After starting the season 1-7, the Cornets fmished the PCC with a 159 mark, and were 20-16 overall. Although they "missed it by that much," the Cornets were by far the most improved team, winning 11 of their last 13.

Schott, Eldridge get state honors Karrie Schott, the softball team's star pitcher was named as the state community college "Pitcher of the Year" by the state's JC softball coaches last Friday. Palomar coach Mark Eldridge was voted California softball Coach of the Year by his peers as well. Sophomores Amy McDonald and

Carin Adams will join Schott (34-18 on the season) on the all-state community college frrst team. McDonald was named to the frrst base position and Adams as an outfielder. It is the second year in a row that Adams received first team all-state honors.

Seven senators protest election (Continued from page 1)

tor of student activities and ASG advisor. The grievance contends that Rodgers, Mukomela and Serrato violated seven different codes of conduct from the rules and regulations for student behavior. The senators are asking that the three not be allowed to hold any office the Associated Student in Government. The Election Committee met in closed session the morning of May 8, the same date that votes from the election were counted. The committee also discussed four other violations that were fJ.J.ed by ASG senators. Ken Green flied a violation against Rodgers and Mukomelafor poll watching in the Student Union during the elections. Buell filed a violation claiming Rodgers was campaigning in the Student Union for Serrato during the elections. Suzie Yankton contends to have seen newly elected vice-president Shawn Clark take a flyer which had been approved for posting and throw it away. The flyer was campaign literature for Green and Paul Hammer who also was running for president

and vice-president. Hammer also claimed to have seen Clark "pick a flyer off the floor and throw it away." The committee decided that the violations could not be proven and dismissed them. But according to Buell, that same election committee meeting was in violation of the ASG's constitution. Election code 3.401 states that "Any candidate or member of his/ her committee accused of a violation of the election code, will appear before an open hearing." The meeting was held in closed session in Hankin's office. Trina Whitney, a member of the election committee said that the committee determined that the complaints were not in violation. Therefore a open hearing was not needed. Buell comments, "There needs to be a brand new election. There was no election committee. They were in violation of the constitution." He will present his case to the senators and hopes to persuade them to hold a new election. Hankin disputes the charges, saying, "It was an honest election. People voted and suddenly it was over and it's almost like some people don't like the results of the election. Now they're going to take care of it. I don't like it." Senator Mary Bagshaw says she also plans to circulate a recall petition against Serrato. As of May 13, she claimed to have over 100 signatures and that she needs just over 300 to have Serrato recalled. Rodgers, Mukomela and Serrato say the latest events will not hinder their efforts. "I'm not really worried about this. We're trying to change the overall system of the ASG, so it's not like a club," says Rodgers. "Juan won the election fair and square. He's the best person for the job. There are some people in there who don't belong in student government. They don't like us. Their personal opinions override the needs of the students," concluded Rodgers Mukomela claims that he has never been officially tied to Serrato's campaign. But he says, "There is no ground for their grievances. It's a nightmare." Serrato is continuing to make plans for his tenure as president. He commented that, "I would call this a defamation of character. It's not needed and it's petty. This is really sad."

Deborah Hartley

Student wins local title By Peggy Kelly

Deborah Hartley, Palomar student in fashion merchandising, was named Miss Oceanside, 1987. Hartley received her crown from a field of 23 contestants in the twentyeighth Fairest of the Fair pageant on April11. "It's a great honor knowing that I can represent Oceanside, because I've lived here all my life and I'd like to give something back to the city that has helped me so much," says the new Miss Oceanside. Hartley, 19, is very excited about being Miss Oceanside. She has been second runner-up the last two years. "I didn't want to be a big has-been. I thought I would try one more year and I was shocked." In 1986, Hartley was named second runner-up to Miss Oceanside and 1986 Fiesta Queen. At the Del Mar Fair this June she will be one of 31 finalists for the title

of Fairest of the Fair / Miss San Diego County. This contest will involve other area queens from 31 cities. Hartley will compete on June 20. Miss Oceanside will represent her community this year for a variety of activities including parades, golf tournaments, banquets and several appearances at the Del Mar Fair.

A student signs up for tutoring services by using an add slip almost identical to those used in adding a class. Credits are listed as zero, but there is no fee except in registration. "Generally we can fmd tutors for students in 24 hours. Students get a number in hand to call for help," says Linda Hovan, secretary for the tutoring center. "We are an ADA (Average Daily Attendance) supervised program. At the end of the year we report directly to the Business Finance Office in Sacramento with our total service hours. This semester we expect it to be near 4,000 hours." As for the future of the program, the tutoring center hopes to be able to offer more services next year. Lower level division math tutors and tutoring for probational students are areas of attention for the 1987-88 school year. "The tutors are the vital feature in the department. We (the administration) are just here to help organize the environment to help the learning happen," says Gibbs.

Nine hundred students are expected to participate in the tutoring program this year. When the tutoring program was begun eight years ago, it was funded by EOPS (Extended Opportunity Program and Service). There was such a demand for campus-wide tutoring that two years ago the program was expanded and given separate funding. Now, under the supervision of Byron Gibbs, the tutoring center has 40 tutors, and this semester, more than 400 students participating. "We require that the tutors take a class to prepare them for instructing. The class, counseling 80: Basic Tutoring Training, will be offered again August 10 through 14, daily except Fridays from 9 am. to 12:50 p.m. One unit of credit is offered," says Gibbs. The tutor's current pay is $4 an hour. The center provides tutoring in all types of classes from economics to math, English to German and, because of their contacts, virtually everything in-between. "Primarily we are concerned with students who are in jeopardy offailing a class. Usually when a student drops one class because of failing grades he drops his program and leaves school.
