Student government senators went on a spending spree and allocated $18,495 at their February 17 session, only to have $16,595 of that later vetoed by student government president Mary Reynaga. In addition, Reynaga vetoed a measure that might have led to the disqualification of two senators. Eight senators spent an hour and forty-five minutes debating and voting on the spending bills, which ranged from $595 for the cheerleading squad to $9000 for new furniture in the Student Union. Senate members began by setting aside $5000 for scholarships to assist
Gregoryk title change delayed By Fred Tracey
A plan to reclassify Business Manager Mike Gregoryk's job title and salary has been put on hold for more study. But the plan has drawn strong opposition from a classified union leader. The reclassification would mean that Gregoryk's job title would be changed to assistant superintendent/ vice president for finance and administrative services. With the title change, he would receive a pay increase, comparable to college districts with enrollment similar to Palomar's. The elevation in pay and the title change caused Tilly Cheyney, president of the classified union, American Federation of Teachers/ Council of Classified Employees, to criticize the district saying that classified employees are being ignored when it comes to salary increases. Cheyney called the move "very detJri;mental" to the morale of the classified employees. "I have seen no effort for the classified employees' salaries to be raised," Cheyney said to the Board. "Morale of the staff is affected."
The classified union recently received a pay increase of 3.7%. Negotiations for that salary increase began early last year and were not completed until last December. During the time negotiations began, and by the time they ended, relations between the district and union members was at an all time low. As Palomar's business manager, Gregoryk is responsible for the supervision of buildings and grounds, purchashing, accounting/ payroll, bookstore operations, food services, human resources, data processing, telephone and duplicating services. When Gregoryk was hired in 1985, the bookstore, food services, human resources and data processing departments did not fall under his supervision. The added responsibilties are cause for a title change and pay raise, members of the Governing Board say. "I would like to see us go in a different direction." Board president Ralph Forquera said. "We need to catch up with the times." A survey of 15 community colleges indicate that 11 colleges classify their chief business officer as vice president/ assistant superintendent. The

With the second semester barely underway, the college has already set the stage for the 1988-89 college schedule. The Governing Board decided to put Palomar on the same system as other universities and state colleges. The fall semester will begin August 29 and end December 23. "h's kind of unfortunate that we have to go right up to the twentythird," said Dr. George Boggs, superintendent/president. "That's only for this year. Next year it probably won't be as bad." The reason for getting this calendar out early is that many students are still so used to the old system that they may be making plans for the summer. This may cause problems for the start of the fall semester because students may not show up to their classes on time, according to Dr. Boggs. Spring semester classes will begin January 21 for Saturday classes and on January 23 for Monday through Friday students. The semester will end on May 26 instead of the middle of June.

Health group has positive first year Improving the physical and mental health of Palomar employees are goals that the Wellness Team has accomplished since its inception a little over a year ago. The organization, made up of college staff members, offers monthly lectures and evaluative fitness programs. Employees can learn how to reduce stress and to stop smoking. According to Wellness Team chairperson Judy Eberhart, a long range goal is to have a "fitness center" on campus with exercise equipment that both students and employees can use. But with each piece of equipment costing $2,000 or more, the team must seek methods of financing. Such a fitness center has proven to be successful at community colleges in California and out-of-state. A fitness center can increase attendance and enrollment in physical education classes, as demonstrated at Miracopa Community College in Arizona. There, enrollment in physical education increased by about 80 percent since the installment of a fitness center. But here at Palomar, where funds for such a project are non-existent, and with limited space, a fitness center is three years or more down the road. One of the most adventurous projects to date has been the pushing of the smoking ban in buildings on campus. The no-smoking policy was supported by the Wellness Team last spring. The Governing Board approved the policy and it went into effect last summer. The new policy could have led employees to quit their smoking habit. The February Wellness newsletter reported that two long-time smokers kicked their habit. Dorie Matzkiw smoked two packs a day for 27 years and Mel Drewry smoked three to four packs a day for 40 years. Other staff members have quit, most through support programs offered by the Wellness Team. "It's making a difference," Eberhart said. "I'm really excited about the Wellness programs. Maybe wellness is contageous."

Change is the keyword at the Student Information Center, yet a warm and friendly atmosphere remains. Frank Hankin, director of Student Activities, feels students need to be advised of the services offered at the center. The Student Information Center (R7) is expanding its housing board which includes "for sale," "ride," "swap" ads, "free items" and employment advertising. The boards are located outside the center office near the Student Union. For 50 cents students can receive one month's advertising. Every semester the center has a used book sale. Students put their used books into the sale on consignment, and the money is given to the student who brought the book in the first place. One dollar is deducted and donated to the Associated Student Government, which serves as a middle person for the sale. Donations help to defray costs of running the used book sale. Dealing with general campus information is an important business at the
center. Students come into the center with every possible question imaginable. ¡ Having games like chess and checkers for students to use are among some of the future highlights for the S.I.C. Among improvements are a new ceiling, a paint job and carpet. Bus schedules for the North County Transit District are available at the office, along with literature pertinent to the college and helpful to the student. In a limited form, legal aid is also availabe to students. Student lockers will possibly be put in the center. R-7 will be a central location for meeting the needs of the students. Hankin has some ideas that he would like to see implemented, but as yet has not received ASG approval. He would like to see increased responsibility of S.I.C. so that the director would also be responsible for the food bank. It would call for increasing the number of employees of the center. Some nighttime hours for S.I.C. are being planned if feasible.
survey also indicated that it is unusual for Gregoryk, as business manager, to directly supervise so many areas of Palomar. The Board will discuss the plan at its February 23 meeting at Mt. Carmel High School.
Board seeks top positions By Fred Tracey
people who do not qualify for fmancial aid but have a financial need. The senate voted 7-1 to create 25, $100 awards for students here and five $500 awards for transferring students. In a letter distributed to student government officials, Reynaga vetoed the bill and suggested instead that only $2000 be spent. She also recommended a $1000 trust fund be established, "allowing the interest from said account to be used for scholarships in the future." A bill to provide the cheerleaders up to $595 to pay half the cost of personalized jackets was approved by a 6-2 margin. Student government vice-president and cheerleader Lisa Canon, who authored the bill while she was a senator, argued that the squad earned the bonus by placing first in the state and seventh in the nation. Debate on the issue was heated, with senator Cathy Freeman voicing concerns that approval would set a precedent for rewarding students "with public funds." Head senator Ken Green countered saying, "I see no problem for rewarding people for a job well done." The president vetoed the measure, recommending only $250 be contributed by the student government. A two thousand dollar request by Coach John Woods to help the men's volleyball club survive until it could be included in next year's budget was approved unanimously by the senate. Reynaga vetoed the allotment, suggesting instead that $1500 be granted. If the program needed further funds, she suggested, they could request them later in the year. New furniture in the Student Union, a project administration officials have been pushing, was almost made a reality when the senate approved up to $9000 for new chairs and tables. Senators voted 4-3 for the proposal, with senator Kevin Fry abstaining. Reynaga vetoed the bill, offering as an alternative that $8000 be spent on new Student Union furniture and $1000 be set aside for new furniture in the student lounge.
Governing Board members and Dr. George Boggs, superintendent/ president, want the best people when it comes to filling the many administrative positions open, currently being held by interim executives.

Syntphony overcontes difficulties The secret's out. The San Diego Symphony has returned to Symphony Hall. But for how long? The symphony organization, besieged with financial problems, cancelled its 1986-87 winter season and disbanded its orchestra. What went on during that year when Symphony Hall was dark and some musicians found employment elsewhere? A revamped symphony organization, led by executive irector Wes Brustad, spent a year raising enough money to produce a 1987-88 winter season. On Friday, November 13, 1987, the San Diego Symphony played its first chord of music in more than a year. This had been called a monumental achievement by many since the odds
Production ends run "Children of a Lesser God" continues tonight in the Palomar College Community Theatre. Written by Mark Medoff, "Children of a Lesser God" is a deeply moving play that details the romance and marriage of a sensitive but spirited deaf girl named Sarah Norman and the devoted (and hearing) yo ung teacher, named James Leeds, whom she meets at a school for the deaf. At first their relationship is a happy and glowing one, but gradually discord develops as Sarah militates for t he rights of the deaf and rejects any hint that she is being patronized or pitied. The gap between the worlds of sound and silence often seems too great to cross. Lead roles are portrayed by Dee-Dee Robinson (whose real-life sister is deaf) as Sarah Norman. Greg Lorenzo Charpentier plays James Leeds. Buddy Ashbrook directs t he production. "Children of a Lesser God" will play tonight at 7:30 p.m. A matinee will be performed on Sunday at 2 p.m. For ticket information call t he box office at Ext. 2453.
of a major symphony orchestra ever coming back after being dark for a year are improbable. Brustad came to the symphony in September of 1986, just two months before the announcement that the 1986-87 season would be cancelled. Along with the millions of dollars in debts, Brustad had to contend with musicians who went on strike, before the season's cancellation, to call for higher salaries. Brustad had a long challenge ahead of him. But he seemed to meet those challenges and the evidence is in the rebirth of the symphony. But the biggest challenge, the regaining of public trust, is still a battle being waged. In March of 1986, before the arrival of Brustad, the symphony announced that it had to raise $2 million in two weeks, or San Diego would be without a symphony. The $2 million was raised, but eight months later the symphony closed down anyway, revealing a debt much higher than was publicly released. That led people to have doubts about the symphony, and left people to wonder where their money had gone that had been donated in March. "When he (Brustad) came to the symphony, he recognized the financial situation of the symphony. He was extremely realistic and conservative in planning the year's budget. in 198586, the budget was around $8 million, whereas for 1987-88, the budget is ·$5.7 million," Smith said. David Atherton, former music director of the symphony, reportedly left because he felt it could never come back That left Brustad to program the current season and engage guest conductors and soloists in a very short amount of time. Programming has gone back to the basics. No more of those Atherton programs that drove people away from the symphony. Brustad has programmed very mainstream music. New outreach programs have been instituted to bring people to Symphony Hall. Probably the most popular are the Nickelodean concerts, three silent movies projected in Symphony Hall (formerly the Fox Theatre, a
landmark movie palace with organ and all) with the orchestra performing the score live. Optimism prevails with the San Diego Symphony. Ticket sales have been good, Les Smith reports. "We're pleased with the sales at this point. It's taken a little of the pressure off. We know that having a full house every night is a little unrealistic at this time." Ticket sales account for about half of the symphony's income. That's where the support of individuals and businesses is needed. And the support is coming in. Businesses are sponsoring concerts and people are contributing to the sustaining fund drive, a sign that people may well believe that the symphony is here to stay.

Cagers host Bakersfield in playoffs Finishing the regular season with their best record in more t han 10 years, the men's basketball team is ready for the playoffs. Coach Andy Gilmour and his players learned Sunday that they will be one of 26 teams in the Southern California Regional Playoffs, in a single-elimination format. Palomar received a good break from the tournament selection committee by having their first round game scheduled at home. The Comets host Bakersfield City College tomorrow at the Dome. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. The Comets finished the regular season 9-3 in the Pacific Coast Conference, and 22-8 overall. They host Bakersfield ( 17-13) on February 27 at 7:30 in the Dome. Leading the local's attack will be 6-
foot-4 forward Gary Williams. Williams led the conference in scoring with a 27.5 aver age and he also pulled in 10.4 rebounds per game. Other Comets to watch include Greg Edwards (10.9 points per game); Derwin Wesley, who came back from an early season shoulder injury to contribute ten points per game; and Eddie Hodges. Hodges averaged 10 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 6.6 assists. A victory over Bakersfield would send Paloma r into second r o und action against Ventura, which had a first round bye.
In the win over Grossmont, Gary Williams scored 27 points and Eddie "Jake" Hodges added 15 to lead the Comets to the victory. Palomar led at halftime 38-36, but Grossmont came back in the second half to lead 58-52 with 13 minutes remaining. But down to the stretch Eddie Hodges hit four free throws, including two with five seconds left to secure t he victory.
When asked the outcome of a recent game, the answer was summed up in two words, "We lost." Such was the response of Palomar's baseball coach, Bob Vetter, as t he Comets dropped a 7-4 decision to Golden West College, February 17. The loss was Palomar's fifth in six games, the lone win being a 2-1 nod over Chaffey College early in the season. Conference action begins February 27 as Palomar travels to Grossmont College. First pitch will be 1 p.m. "We've been h urting the last four games," said Vetter, pointing to a "lack of run production" as the problem. Palomar's baseball skipper explained that the Comets garnered only three hits against Golden West pitching, adding,"You can't win many games on just three hits." Pitcher Clint Cruz paced the Comets at bat, collect ing a pair of singles, while T.J. Flynn accounted for Palomar's third hit, an infield hit. The Comets jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first inning, when Ron Howard walked, stole second and third, and scored on Flynn's infield single. Palomar waited until the eighth to score again, rallying for three r uns, highlighted by Cruz's single, chasing home two runs. Vetter sent three pitchers to t he mound, open ing with Cruz, who hurled three innings, followed by Oscar Lopez, who went five frames and Bill Painter going the ninth. "He did a great job," said Vetter of Lopez, as the slender right hander allowed only one unearned run while pitching. Another dismal display of baseball ability was demonstrated by Palomar at the Kings River Tournament at Reedley, February 12-14, where the Comets dropped a 12-8 decision to host Kings River College and a 10-1 loss to Consumnes College of
Palomar finished its Pacific Coast Conference sched ule winning six games in a row, including a 81-78 road victory over Grossmont College last Saturday.

Sacramento. Against Kings River, the Comets had their best game of the season at the plate, collecting 13 hits, paced by outfielder Flynn, who went three for four, including a double and a run batted in. Rick Afenir, with a triple and a two run scoring single, Bill Dunckel, two singles and a sacrifice fly that scored a run and Roger.Conway's two singles, good for a run led Palomar's hitters at t he plate. Seven errors, along with nine Palomar strike outs, proved to be the Comets' undoing. With Kings River in command, 6-4 after seven innings, the Comets struck back for a pair of runs in the eighth inning, when singles by Conway and Tino Lozano knotted the score at 66.
Poor defensive support and baserunning mistakes in the late going proved to be costly for the Comets, allowing Kings River a six run outburst in the eighth frame.
Women's tennis team looks strong By Gregg Lawton
Women's tennis opened up ,this season with a four-match invitational tournament in Mesa, Arizona, February 5-7. Palomar came out of the tourney 3-1 with a 6-3 win over East Washington State, a 7-2 victory over Northern Arizona University,· a 6-3 win over Mesa, and finally an 8-1 loss to Pima Community College. "It's a good solid team this year," women's tennis coach Nan Haugen observed. "I think we're deeper than we were last year." Coach Haugen was especially happy with the victories over East Washington State and Northern Arizona, because both teams consisted of allscholarship players. Two of the team's nine players who stand out this season are sophomores Chris Jose and Monse Noboa. Jose and Noboa have been strong players in both singles and doubles and have 7-0 and 6-1 records in singles, respectively, after seven matches. Coach Haugen feels both players will rank in the top 10 in the state this year. Jos.e was number one in sngles when she played with Southwestern last year and Noboa iS the defending champion of the Pacific Coast Conference in addition to being ranked number three in the state last year in doubles with teammate Kelly Vanderlip. . "I think we nave a good team. We don't have any weak players," Jose acknowledged. "We have good depth. She (Coach Haugen) doesn't like losing.". . Both players agree that the main reason for the teain's strength ·is the constant practicing, running, or other exercises that Coach Haugen ·makes them do. · · "The other teams aren't as ready physically. They don't take . it as seriously," Jose said. "We're in better shape." · "She (Coach Haugen) encourages us all the time,~ Noboa added. The team has since upped its record to 6-1 with a 9-0 win ~t home against Fullerton Qn February 11, an 8-1 victory at Long Beac~ February 17, and a 9-0 win at home over Mt. San Antonio February 19. Rounding out the team this season are sophomore ·Kelly Vanderlip, and freshmen Sherri Andrews, Kim Eastman, Elisa Alvarez, Patti Cornelius, Jodi Barsell (alternate), and Suzi Speckman (alternate), who also plays softball. ·

Family is much more important in our country. I think we reinforce our values more." According to the Venezuelan, the American's view of Mexico is inaccurate. "Mexico is a beautiful country.

Braving the traffic of Highway 78 on your trek to Palomar can be trying, but imagine crossing an international border as part of your daily commute. Such is the case for 23 year old Palomar student, Javier Partearroyo, a resident of Tijuana, Mexico. Born in Carascas, Venezuela, he moved to Mexico City at the age of seven. "Most of my life I lived in Mexico City, and now my parents moved to Tijuana where we own a printing shop. That's why I am now studying graphic arts," said Partearroyo. Upon arriving in the U.S., Partearroyo attended Cornell University in New York for one year. There he studied under an intensive English program which has resulted in his fluent command of the English language. "When I came to this country, it was a different people, a different language, a different culture. It wasn't easy at first." The Venezuelan student gains admittance mto the U.S. by means of his student ~a. · Lately his daily border crossings have been without incident. However, on his registration date at Palomar last semester, the U.S. Immigration & Naturalization Officials claimed his passport was fake. He was detained for two hours and missed his appointment. "It is a chance I take. Maybe somebody doesn't like me, doesn't like my car, doesn't like my face, and they say I have to go to secondary inspection. Sometimes I think they abuse their power, but that's their job, and there is nothing I can do about it. You have to be very patient."

(Photo by Marilynn Young) The Graphic Communications Department encourages Partearroyo to drive the two-hour distance to Palomar, as opposed to a closer college like Southwestern.

The two are accused of missing too many senate meetings. While the president has the right to veto legislation, the senate may override the veto by a two-thirds m~ority vote.

He decided upon a career in printing after a short tenure in engineering. "I realized what I wanted to do was graphic arts, and I really love it. It's kind of funny...
