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 fmance 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 detlli;mental" to the morale of the classified employees.
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."
"I have seen no effort for the classified employees' salaries to be raised," Cheyney said to the Board. "Morale of the staff is affected."
A survey of 15 community colleges indicate that 11 colleges classify their chief business officer as vice president/ assistant superintendent. The
Services accessible New calendar at information center
set for fall
By Michele Anderson
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. ".It'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.

Reynaga vetoes spending spree
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 sup' ported 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.

Symphony overcomes difficulties
"Children of a Lesser God" continues t onight in t he Palomar College Com~unity 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 a nd the devoted (and hearing) young 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 $eems too great to cross.· Lead roles are portrayed by Dee-Dee Robinson (whose real-life sister is deaf) as Sarah Norman.

of a major symphony orchestra ever coming back after being dark for a year are improbable. Brustad came to t he symphony in Sept ember 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 t he season's cancellation, t o call for higher salaries . . Br ustad 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, t he symphony announced, t hat it had to raise $2 million in two weeks, or San Diego would be without a symphony. The $2 million was raised, but eight mont hs later t he symphony closed down anyway, revealing a debt much higher than was publicly released. That led people to have doubts about t he symphony, and left people to wonder where t heir money had gone t hat 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 conservat ive in planning the year's budget. in 198586, t he 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 c urrent season and engage guest conductors and soloists in a very short amount of t ime. Programming has gone back to the basics. No more of those Atherton p rogra ms that drove people away fro m t he symphony. Brustad has programmed very mainstream music. New outreach programs have been instit uted t o bring people to Symphony Hall. Probably the most popular are t he · 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 t hat people may well believe that the symphony is here to stay.

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. I'm not talking Tijuana. Tijuana is not Mexico. We (Mexico) have a lot of resources, natural resources and human resources. It's sad to see how all of that is wasted." America's many freedoms and

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 diflerent people, a diflerent language, a diflerent culture. It wasn't easy at first." The Venezuelan student gains admittance ilTto 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."

studies." Partearroyo feels that the exposure he gains from partaking in two distinct cultures is very beneficial for him.

opportunities keep him looking toward the future. "I love this country. It's not perfect, but I'm here to take advantage of the good things, not the bad. What I like most is that you can live your life the way you choose. In my case, it's the Latin way."
