President sees objectives achieved By Mary Hannify
Enhancing the recognized excellence of Palomar by encouraging innovation and improvements, by informing local communities about the college's programs and by informing state and national leaders of successes are the goals of Superintendent/ President Dr. George Boggs. "I heard of the outstanding programs here, when I got here I found them to be better then what I'd heard about," Dr. Boggs recalls in his third year of tenure as Superintendent/ President. "I'm proud to be here." Other goals Dr. Boggs has set are: promoting and encouraging greater articulation with area high schools; enhancing administrative and institutional planning; and improving communication and decision-making processes. He also wants to encourage the well-being and professional growth and development of college employees, provide educational opportunities throughout the district, recognize employee achievements and improve the college's fiscal situation. Dr. Boggs' final goal is to once again enhance the facilities and services to make
Palomar College
the college a better place for both employees and students. "I'm sure the students who were here last year have seen changes that have been made," Dr. Boggs said. One noticeable change that has been made is in the Student Union. A new fast food area has been added and the ceiling has been lowered. One program that has been initiated within the last three years is the Tutorial Center which used to be for students who could pay the fees that were required. Now the center is open to all who need help at no cost. The transfer center is another area that Dr. Boggs feels is still going strong. "The Transfer Center helps those students to find classes they need to transfer," Dr. Boggs noted. Something new the college is working on is marticulation, which is a way of testing students to make sure the classes they attend are within their level. For instance, a interested in taking calculus would take a test and the results might show that the student needs to take a refresher course.
Volume 41 No.1
"This way the student can be counseled into the right class," Dr. Boggs said. This is not something the college has thought of, but is mandated by the state. Dr. Boggs also talked of a bill that is on Governor George Deukmejian's desk. Right now when a student registers, and the student needs two classes at three units each the student pays $50. If all that is needed one class at the three units, the student pays $15. The new bill will allow the student to pay $5 a unit up to $50. Dr. Boggs also discussed the additional 500 parking spaces that were installed over the summer. With enrollment up because of the impacting at San Diego State University, the additional parking came just in time. "The parking was terrible last year and the new parking was needed.We recieved a loan of $300,000 from Mitsubishi Bank, but, we still needed to raise the parking fees," Dr. Boggs said. This year the campus has nine percent more students then last year totalling over 18,001. "I can understand why the students wouldn't like a parking increase, it was a

decision that had to be made." he said. " It was a difficult decision." Dr. Boggs also said that Shawn Clark, Associated Student Government president, was not in favor of the parking fee increase because his conern was that it was an unnecessarily high raise, instead of a gradual hike. With his third year going strong, Dr. Boggs said that he doesn't think he'll be leaving for awhile. "I'm not the kind of person who jumps from jobs," he said. "I would like to be here for quite awhile." He feels that long term growth needs stability in leadership. "In fact I think that is one of our problems in our nation, especially in the political process. We're not looking at long range plans, just short term unfortunately." Boggs cited the fact that $1.2 billion is being returned to taxpayers by the government, when schools are so inadequately funded. "Our government in Sacramento is looking at the short term. This is not what I want for Palomar. I want a long term, not a short term outlook."

-Classified group files ~unfair' charge By Fred Tracey An unfair practice charge against the Palomar College District has been fl.led with the Public Employees Relations Board (PERB) by the Council of Classified Employees/ American Federation of Teachers (CCE/ AFT), the union representing the classified employees at the college. The charge stems from salary negotiations between the district and the classified staff. According to the statement fl.led with PERB, the district has engaged in "bad faith bargaining." At issue are the negotiations for 1986-1987 which have not yet been completed and salary negotiations for 1987-1988 which have not yet begun. The CCE/ AFT is asking for a four

Clark named ASG president By Tom Fitzpatrick
In a rather unexpected turn of events, Shawn Clark, who was elected to the post of Associated . Student Government vice-president in elections held last May, assumed the role of ASG president June 6. "It has turned out to be quite an experience, to say the least," said Clark, who replaced deposed ASG president Juan Serrato. Serrato was removed from office June 6 after it was determined that he was uncooperative and had shown an attitude "unbecoming of a student body president," according to ASG advisor and director of student activities Frank Hankin. (For more information on Serrato's removal see accompanying story.) Despite the upheaval in the ASG's executive branch, Clark sees his new duties as "challenging." Clark was Serrato's running mate and now says his objectives are "pretty much" the same as Serrato's. Among those objectives are to reverse the administration's policy prohibiting dances, to bring more outside speakers to the campus, to help make the ASG more selfsufficient and to increase services
offered to the students. To help out in the arelt of sporting events, he is also interested in refurbishing or replacing the bleachers. "At least get them to where people can use them," he said." "Obviously all this stuff has to be approved through the senate, so these are just my personal objectives," said Clark While ASG senators might disagree

Serrato was elected last May and was sworn into office May 28 over the objections of several ASG senators. Debate was heated over charges that Serrato assaulted ASG senator Michael Buell in a confrontation on May 8 and that his committee engaged in illegal campaign practices. After the swearing in, legal advice was sought as to the rights of the ASG to bring charges, according to Frank Hankin, ASG advisor and director of

percent raise, plus a three percent adjustment of their salary based upon a survey of wages at other community colleges in 1985. The district is offering a 3.5 percent raise or three percent as recommended in that same study. Classified staff state that the cost of living has increased since the last raise in 1985 and that Palomar College classified employees are the lowest paid in the county, in comparison to other community colleges and school districts. But college officials maintain that the district does not have the funds to give the full raise to the union employees. Th e union represents secretarial, maintenance and clerical employees. The last raise for the classified staff was in September of 1985 when the district granted the first half of the survey comparing Palomar's wages with other colleges. That amount was equivalent to three percent. Teachers received a six percent raise that same year. The classified staff is still waiting for the raise recommended by the second half of that survey which is now two years old. Negotiations are currently in mediation after employees declared an impasse against the district with PERB. According to Tilly Cheyney, Information Systems Analyst and president of the local CCE/ AFT, the district has already lost some employees who have found better paying positions in other school districts.

Boggs recognizes educational strides The California Community College is one of the greatest success stories in the history of American higher education. Our record of response to local community needs, a capacity to address social problems, and most important, the ability to provide students with skills for gainful employment, further study, or better citizenship is unparalleled. Since the early 1900's, the colleges have provided opportunity for millions of Californians from widely varying racial, cultural, linguistic, and economic backgrounds. Approximately one out of every ten Californians today between the ages of 18 and 64 are enrolled in a community college. Students generally cite the high quality programs, low cost, and convenience as reasons for attending a community college. Palomar College has a reputation for being one of the best of the California Community Colleges. Here, students will find an institution of people dedicated to bringing out the best in other people. A more qualified and caring faculty and support staff cannot be found at other colleges or universities. Their interests are focused on providing an excellent learning environment for students. Many of our academic and vocational programs have received state or national
recognition for their excellence. The high quality of our educational programs is continually demonstrated by our graduates who succeed at transfer universities or in the career of their choice. Our reputation for excellence is not an accident; we care about students and their education. Although Palomar's faculty members are encouraging and supportive, they ask for a commitment from students to learn. The most successful students attend class regularly, pay attention and participate in class, review and restudy material outside of class, and make the best use of study time. Honor students also make use of college resources such as the library, the counseling center, the career center, the transfer center, the tutorial center, and faculty office hours. They get to know their instructors and other students, often forming study groups. Palomar offers many opportunities that can be as important to student growth as time spent in the classroom. Such activities include sports, campus clubs, student government, the campus newspaper, drama, forensics, dance, and music. I encourage students to take advantage of the opportunities Palomar College provides and to accept our invitation to learn, to grow, and to form new friendships. George R. Boggs, Ph.D. Superintendent/president

The staff also produces editorials, some opinionated and some humorous. Whether students or Palomar staff members, I urge you to write to me expressing your feelings about anything that pertains to this campus. Put your name and phone number on the copy. Deadline for all "Letters to the Editor" must be submitted two weeks before publication. For example, if the paper comes out Friday, October 23 your letter must be in by Friday, October 9. Let's hope this year will fulfill all of your educational experiences.
As members of the Health 21/Counseling 10 class that accompanied Maria Miller and Judy Mazzarella to Yosemite, we would like to share with you some feelings we have about the class and our teachers. We would also like to offer our gratitude to you and those responsible for making this joint class available to us. Our class consisted of people from the age of 16 to 44 years old. During the course of three weeks time we learned the fundamentals of a healthy physical and emotional lifestyle, effective group dynamics and new appreciation for the world around us. Judy and Maria are unusually gifted leaders and are ideally suited for teaching this unique class. They are compassionate, knowledgeable, and have excellent organizational skills. Their high personal standards have helped us set new goals for ourselves. With their guidance we
have learned more about ourselves as individuals and how we can grow to be more effective physically, emotionally and as a part of society. We feel this joint class of Health 21/ Counseling 10 offers a tremendous opportunity to people of all backgrounds for personal growth and goal-setting. We are very appreciative of the opportunity to have taken this class, and sincerely hope other students will also be given this chance.

Cafeteria additions include a snack bar, a s uspended ceiling and a new pain t job. But something is also missing. Cigaret smoke. Effective t his past summer semester, cigaret smoking is not permitted in a ny building on campus. The Governing Board adopted the nosmoking policy last spring, but not wit hout some hesitations. Some members of the Board did not want to exclude smoking all together. Board members asked college staff if there was any room that could be utilized as a smoking room. Business Manager Mike Gregoryk reported that there was no room on campus with
the proper ventilation system to tilter the smoke out. Board vice president Ralph Forquera made a request to the Wellness Team that a "smoke hut" be constructed for people who smoke. But Gregoryk stated that the cost of such a building would be about $5,000. Instead, a gazebo-type roof has been co ns tru ct ed over t he patio area behind the cafeteria. Gregoryk reported that there has been no problem with the new nosmoking policy. Students who have been found smoking inside the Student Union have been asked to go outside. "We're trying to provide an atmosphere everyone can enjoy," he said.

Nursing program begins twenty-first year By Mary Hannify Last year was a landmark for the Nursing Department, which celebrated its twentieth year, 1028 graduates and its continued status as the only San Deigo based community college nursing program accredited by the National League for Nursing. All of the graduates are eligible to sit on the California State Board examination offered twice a year by the Board of Registered Nursing, a division of the of the Department of Consumer Affairs. Successful completion of this exam-
ination entitles the candidate to licensure as a Registered Nurse in the state of California. Results of the July exam will be available in late September. Past records show that Palomar nursing graduates have a 95-100 percent pass rate on State Boards which compare favorably with the 83 percent national average. According to Pat Worret, spokeswoman for the nursing department faculty, "We have a certain pride in putting out a product that is well received in the community."
Library shovvs artifacts By Fred Signori American Indian Studies (AIS) instructor Linda Locklear has placed an exhibit of Northwest Coast Indian artifact s in the Palomar College Library. The exhibit includes examples of ceremonial masks, oars, jewelry and basketry. The exhibit will remain in the library through October. Murals are being planned for both the American Indian Organization (AIO) and AIS buildings. The latter mural was to be painted by artist Bob Freeman in celebration of American Indian Day, September 25. However, the painting was held up by a pending inspection of the project by the committee which considers beautification of campus structures. A 5K and fun run were held on September 26 on the Pauma Indian reservation. The runs were cosponsored by the American Indian Education Center, the Transfer Center, the Learning Circle and Movie Masters, Valley Circle. Lori Taguna, the AIO Inter Campus
Club representative hopes some students from Locklear's American Woman in Film course will be going to the American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco later this fall. AIO vice-person Silvia Graffious urges all persons to attend the Pow Wow scheduled tor November 21 in the Student Union. "We try to support all the PowWows held in the area," says Graffious, "especially local reservations: San Pasqua!, Rincon, La Jolla, Pauma and Pala." She also believes the Pow Wows establish an important contact with the Indian culture that can be lost in life's trevails. The elders are there to share their wisdom and the young children get to participate in many of the traditional dances. In the near future, the AIO hopes to attend the National Education Conference held last year in Reno, Nevada. People from organizations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico gather for conferences and workshops. Among the many areas covered by the NEC include: Networking, Women in Business and Men in Business.

"HOW I MADE 818,000 FOR COLLEGE BY WORKING WEEKENDS."
When my friends and I graduated from high school, we all took part-time jobs to pay for college. They ended up in car washes and hamburger joints, putting in long hours for little pay. Not me. My job takes just one Weekend a month and tWO WeekS a year. Yet, I'm earning $18,000 for college. Because I joined my local Army National Guard. They're the people who help our state during emergencies like hurricanes and floods. They're also an important part of our country's military defense. So, since I'm helping them do such an important job, they're helping me make it through school.
As soon as I finished Advanced Training, the Guard gave me a cash bonus of $2,000. Then, under the New GI Bill, I'm getting another $5,000 for tuition and books. Not to mention my monthly Army Guard paychecks. They'll add up to more than $11,000 over the six years I'm in the Guard. And if I take out a college loan, the Guard will help me pay it back-up to $1,500 a year, plus interest. It all adds up to $18,000-or more -for college for just a little of my time. And that's a heck of a better deal than any car wash will give you. THE GUARD CAN HELP PUT YOU THROUGH COLLEGE, TOO.

Comets optimistic; face Southwestern
Running back Todd Beck(21) goes in motion during a recent practice. The Comets are
undefeated after two games and host Southwestem tomorrow.
Injuries and optimism prevail as the football team starts off its home season by hosting Southwestern tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. on the San Marcos High School field. "We'd like to be as competitive as we were last year," says coach Tom Craft. Last year the Comets got off to a 5-1 start and were ranked eighteenth in the country and fourth in Southern California at one point. Then some players were injured and there was some rough going the second half of the season. Already the injury bug has hit some key personnel -- wide receiver Marcus Wesley and BillEdwards and starting running back Greg August. For now the starting quarterback will be sophomore Mark Heintschel, the team's punter last year. Heintschel has never played quarterback before, but according to Craft he understands the offense and has the ability to lead
Gridders undefeated after two games By Scott Lane Scoring 21 points in the final seven minutes, the football team buried highly favored San Diego Mesa College 34-16. Inside linebacker David Veytia provided the spark by recovering a fumble deep in Olympian territory.
Water polo squad faces tough season Coach Greg Ormsby's water polo squad began their 1987 Orange Empire Conference Season optimistically but not unchallenged. "Our objective is to play tough teams at the beginning of the season, learn where are weaknesses are and improve on those," said the first season coach. After a tough loss to last year's champs, Long Beach, Ormsby was encouraged by his team's ability to score under pressure. Realisticly, though, he isn't setting his hopes up too high. "In terms of conference, Saddleback is a favorite. About six teams are favorites for second place,"Ormsby said. "We're in a very tough conference," he said. "Mesa, Palomar, Citrus and Rancho Santiago are all real competitive. Any one can win on any given day." Three of the most promising freshman starters are Bill Coffin, Rob Steppanow and Brian William. "Coffm is one of our better shooters. What he lacks in speed he makes up for in firing the ball," said Ormsby. He protrayed Steppanow as a defense and assist specialist. William and sophomore Brian Seymore alternate at the two meter position. He's a lefty and that throws off their defense." Ormsby also said that goalie Terry Wrightson is showing to be a strong player. In recent action the Comets lost two water polo matches September 18th. Long Beach City College defeated the Comets 13-6. Later, the College of Sequoias pounded Palomar 11-5. Seymour led the Comets in the first game by providing three goals. Coffin, McNally and Huizar each added one. In the second square-off, Rafail showed he has made a quick transition to the field by pumping in two goals. Stepanow, Coffin and McNally chipped in one apiece. Seymour scored four goals and Rafail added three Saturday as Palomar College routed West Valley 16-5 in the Cuesta College water polo tournament.
Wide receiver Scott Carlovsky then pulled in an eight yard scoring pass from Mark Heintschel to put the Comets ahead for good. Still riding on an emotional high, Veytia sacked Mesa quarterback Phil Struch on two consecutive. plays for the kick-off. Mesa was forced to punt and Palomar got the opportunity to add two more touchdowns. Freshman running back Tracy Kenney, off great blocks by tackle Sam Masaniai and guard Curt Dykes, raced 70 yards to up the lead to 27-16. Heintschel then nailed the lid shut by running 42 yards with 18 seconds remaining for the final score. The defense, led by Veytia, outside linebackers Albert Sega and Brent Smith, and cornerback Elzie Gatson, played a great game. Sturch was sacked ten times and the Olympians had a total of minus 21 yards for the game. Not to be outdone, the offense rolled up 403 yards total offense. Quarter-
back Heintschel, the punter last season, accounted for most of this himself, getting 214 yards through the air on 17 of 32 attempts and rushed for 66 on 13 carries. He threw TD strikes of 19 yards to Bill Edwards and eight yards to Carlovsky. The Comet's ground game, behind the big offensive line, clicked for 192 yards. Kenney's 99 on 17 carries and Heintschel's 66 led the way. "Mark Heintschel had a great game. The thing that impressed me about Mark was his ability to perform under stress and be rescourceful," said coach Craft. "He took some physical shots and came back, showing mental and physical toughness. "Defensively we had a number of great games, particularly Elzie Gatson and Will Reed.' The football team is now 2-0 on the season. San Marcos High School will be the

site of the first home game tomorrow at 1:30 against Southwestern. The Comets opened the season on a successful note September 19, defeating Monterey Peninsula 45-24 in a non-conference game. The host Lobos stunned the Comets on an 82-yard pass play from Danny Martinez to Squeeky Parker on the first play of the game to take a 7-0 lead. But Palomar went in front 8-7 on Brett Smith's safety and a one yard quaterback sneak by Mark Heintschel. The Comets never looked back, leading 28-7 in the second period. Quaterback Rocky Aukuso scored three touchdowns on runs of three, one and two yards. Heintschel passed to Scott Carlovsky for two more TD's. John Ashworth kicked a 46-yard field goal for the Comets and also kicked three extra points. Palomar outgained Monterey Peninsula in total yardage 422 yards to 302. Heintschel was 18-for-30 passing for 152 yards, Aukuso 9-for-12 for 76 yards and Craig MacDonald, a sophomore from London, England, passed to Elzie Gatson for a 30-yard gainer on a fake punt.
the team. Freshman Rocky Aukuso is the most talented of the quarterbacks and will see a lot of playing time.
The offensive line has a lot of size and, according to Craft, "can become a strong point." There are four returning sophomores including Curt Dykes (6-4, 275), Sam Masaniai (6-2, 285), Paul Paopao (6-2, 270), and Center Eric Patrick (6-1, 255). Freshman Mike Pastone (6-8, 300) and Brian Lasho (6-4, 245) should get a lot of work. There has been some speculation that the Comets will run the ball this year, but Craft will hold off on that judgment until he sees how the offense will perform in a game situation. "Because we don't have the talent that some of the other teams in our league do," says Craft, "we have to throw the football to stay in the games." The defense has some very talented performers and has the potential to be very solid. Albert Sega (205), who will be used as nose guard, outside linebacker and down lineman, is the anchor on a squad that has been ranked first in the conference the last two seasons. The other linebackers are also very tough. Dave Veytia (235) and Paul Stehly (220) will hold down the inside positions. Also, there is freshman Brett Smith who Craft says has the potential to be the best of the group. Three sophomores return to play in the secondary. Elzie Gatson led the conference last year and will play cornerback. Will Reed, who Craft calls "One of the most physical players in the conference," is also back. Rich . Oliver is free safety. "We have to go with the attacking defense. We have always stressed speed over size," says Craft of this year's defense. The kicking game appears solid with last year's place kicker Phil Gallo returning. Gallo will be pushed by freshman John Ashworth, a former all-CIF soccer player. With Mark Heintschel moving to quarterback the punting duties will fall to Craig MacDonald.

Researchers will use an economic impact model developed by SDSU to determine economic returns on investment of taxpayer dollars here. The direct and indirect impact of the college on the economic well-being of the community will be revealed by this study, Dr. Piland explained. Dr. Larry Stevens will assist Dr. Piland in the Palomar study. Both researchers have extensive experience in the college teaching, administration and research. Dr. George R. Boggs, Palomar president, said that the Palomar College Development Foundation agreed to fund the proposal for an economic impact study.

IUNFAIR' (Continued from page 1) Cheyney said. "Morale is very low. Even so, the employees still have their loyalty to this institution. We do not let it interfere with our job responsibilities, but it's kind of hard to keep turning our cheek." Members of the classified staff have attended Governing Board meetings to show support for the union and have addressed the board personally about their concerns over the salary dispute. Most of the classified staff feel that there is a lack of communication on campus and that management is not representing the needs of the employees. Clarence Boukas, chief negotiator for the CCE/ AFT, addressed the Governing Board on September 22 about keeping communication open with the board to "avoid a collision course." "I don't want this (communication) gap to be larger. It's not my personal interest to drag out negotiations." He also stated before the board that Richard Currier, attorney for the district, might be delaying negotiations for personal gain. Both sides are waiting to begin negotiations again. If the CCE/ AFT oomes to an agreement with the district on a one year contract, negotiations for 1987-1988 would have to begin. The classified staff say they would not do that until February 1 of next year, unless they can agree on a two year contract.
