'Mt.' McClure re1gns over satellite

Study area postponed until July

By Fred Tracey
Nona McClure is queen of the mountain. At least that's what her staff thinks. They want to change the name of the Mt. Carmel Satellite Center to the "Mt. McClure Satellite Center." And there is reason to believe that their intentions are justified. From her tiny office (540 sq. feet total), Nona McClure directs the activities of the satellite center at Mt. Carmel High School in the outskirts of Poway. The office, an old recording studio, houses two computer terminals for registration/ admissions, the mail room, audio-visual equipment, a duplicating machine and McClure's office. During a recent visit to the satellite center office (or the "nerve center"), McClure barely has time to welcome a visitor before she is paged from her walkie-talkie to take care of cars double-parked, a problem that is increasing with the growing number of students. So she goes off into the cold, brisk night to negotiate the parking problem with her one security guard, just recently hired. Outside the satellite center office, Sherilyn Nielson directs students to their classrooms. She is bundled-up with a scarf, hat and mittens. The first night of class, with the temperatures dipping into the low 50's, Nielson stood outside with a portable, electric heater. It's part of the good service McClure prides herself on. For example, if a class is cancelled and the office is notified early enough, the students will be called and told of the cancellation. In one of the numerous high school buildings, science instructor Benjamin Banta is about to begin his class. Dressed in worn blue jeans and denim jacket, Banta takes his teaching seriously. "I make my students bust their butts in this course. And if they don't like it, they can drop!" Tonight, Banta has brought in a small lizard-like creature, a limbless (Continued on page 4)
Blood donors get T-shirts Monday The first blood drive for the spring 1988 semester will be held March 7, from 9:30 am. to 1:30 p.m., in the Student Union. Provided by the San Diego Blood Bank, the bloodmobile is sponsored by the Associated Student Government and Student Health Services. To make an appointment to donate, call Student Health Services, Ext. 2380. Each donor will receive a free "Blood Dinosaur" T-shirt. All students, staff and their dependents are eligible to use the Palomar Blood Reserve Fund at no cost. Why donate blood? Every seven minutes someone in San Diego County needs a blood transfusion. There is no substitute for blood. It has a life span of only 35 days. North County residents currently need about 1500 pints of blood each month. One blood donation can help as many as four patients, when divided into components.

Guy Hufferd, Palomar's television broadcast operator, focuses his camera on an ETV instructor as Kathleen Lamping, Palomar's studio supervisor, cues the class and instructor with a sign indicating that taping begins in five seconds.
ETV endures production "There's no fighting with traffic, no parking problems and no babysitting problems. Basically, all the student has to do is reach over and turn on the T.V.," said Kathleen Lamping, Palomar's ETV studio supervisor. "How much easier could it be to take a class at Palomar?" Before a student can see a Palomar class on television, however, Lamping and her ETV team have a great deal of work to do. Lamping, serving as director, works with three camera operators, a floor director, an electronic character operator, a video tape operator and various other technicians and engi-
New club is formed By Kevin Adams
Finding a job, a place to live, and a friend is the focus of the newly formed Palomar College International (PCI). PCI has been given office space on the north side of the Student Center. From there club executives hope to bring together new students looking for housing as well as helping out in their job searches. Mojgan Yavari, secretary ofPCI, also sees the club as a sanctuary for foreign or American students. "We are a place where (students) can come and exchange ideas,a place to get away from school." That place is shared with the Black Students Alliance (BSA) which occupied the room alone last semester. According to ex-president of PCI, Roman Sanchez, the BSA had not been very active last year. Yavari added that the move was okayed by the BSA on the understanding that the PCI had some black members. On word of mouth alone, PCI has already signed up 40 members. Besides being a place to socialize, the new office has a helpful information cabinet on campus programs and local transportation. To join PCI, students should drop by the club offices between 3 and 5 p.m. and talk to one of the club executives.
neers to put together each one of the more than 75 hours ofPalomar classes viewed in San Diego area homes each semester. The ETV classes are taped on campus in a classroom-like set with an instructor actually teaching a class to students just as he would for a standard course. "On T.V. it looks like a real classroom. But actually the students and teacher are in a 60-by-60 foot open studio area with a heavy lighting grid hanging about 30 feet above their heads," said Lamping. The ETV crew works creatively to adapt the teacher's class to television, Lamping explains. They begin by reviewing the lecture outline with the instructor. The class is then 'scripted out' in advance for television production. Before a class is assigned to the ETV team, the studio students and instructors are required to sign legal release forms which give the college permission to put them on television. "Even though most of the teachers and students have never been on T.V.
Cagers advance in playoffs; host Pasadena Saturday By Brad Cesmat Derwin Wesley scored 21 points to help power coach Andy Gilmour's cagers to a 82-79 victoey over favored Ventura Wednesday on the loser's floor. Third round Southern California regional playoff action finds Palomar hosting Pasadena in a 7:30p.m. game Saturday. The locals overcame a 31-28 Ventura lead to defeat the defending state champions. Pat Jones and Gaey Williams each scored 17 points as the Comets improved their season's record to a sparkling 24 wins in 32 games. "Our players wouldn't quit. They haven't quit all year. I'm more than happy with their effort," said coach Gilmour. Play-by-play action of Saturday's game can be heard over Palomar's KKSM with the pre-game report at 7p.m.
before, camera-shyness has never been a problem," said Lamping. "We have a camera operator poised to pick up the students as they ask questions and they seem to get a real kick out of being on television." The ETV department consists of four full time staff members, which include Ron Page, director of television operations and production; Lamping, the ETV studio supervisor; Guy Hufferd, the television broadcast operator and Marlene Anisko, the ETV staff aide. The majority of the ETV crew, however, are telecommunications students. "Part of my resl!!tnsibiliy is to move the students around throughout the semester within the ETV crew so they get hands-on experience operating the camera, serving as floor director and managing the technical positions in the control room," said Lamping. This semester the ETV department will broadcast 18 classes on the North County-accessed Daniels pablevision Channel 35 and Dimension Cable Channel 3. In addition, four classes will be broacast throughout San Diego County on the cable systems' "Learning Channel," and one class will air on KPBS-TV. All ETV classes are available for viewing in the Learning Resource Center located in the library. Many of these classes are on VHS tape and may be checked out. "ETV is becoming increasingly more popular," said Lamping. "We've already had a 34% increase over last spring's enrollment." As a result of this increase, the ETV department will -- for the first time --offer summer classes this year. "We promote that E1V classes are the easiest to get to," Lamping said. "However, I must stress that the work is just as challenging as that in our campus classes. The students are expected to view all class programs, read the text assignments and attend several on-campus seminars for exams." "We like to joke that the ETV production crew is probably one of the most widely educated groups on campus," Lamping smiled. "Who else gets to attend more than 90 hours of lecture -- in addition to their own schedule of classes-- in one semester?" For more information about ETV classes call Ext. 2431.
Students hoping for a quiet study room on campus may have to wait until as late as July, according to Buildings and Grounds director Mike Ellis. Construction of the new study room, in the "R" building adjacent to the Student Union, has been halted due to the lack offunds. Construction began last summer. Ellis says the funds planned for the study room were deferred to projects that held a higher priority for the school. One of those projects was the renovation of the Student Union, which began in the summer and was finished over Christmas break. The Buildings and Grounds crew is presentlyworking on the renovation of the P-north building and the LS/ES complex. In addition to a lack of funds, another obstacle is impending the completion of the room. Many students have complained about the location, claiming it won't be quiet enough. The prospective room will have a door to the Student Union on one end, a door to the outside on the other and various clubroom doors on either side. One option, says Ellis, is to put the new study room where the game room presently is and put the game room in the new location. Ellis says the Buildings and Grounds Department will try to work with all interested parties and come up with a compromise. "Our main concern is that we want to provide a quiet study area where people can bring food and drink," says Ellis. "We want to make sure we make the best possible decision for the students." And where will the funds come from? "It's difficult to say," says Ellis. "A lot depends on what kind of profit the cafeteria makes." If the cafeteria does not provide enough money, Ellis says the administration may want to channel funds to the project.
Art class offered "Watercolor Techniques," a free watercolor instruction class, meets every Tuesday from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Palomar College satellite center at Fallbrook High School. "In this special class, I am able to guide the students at their own pace, concentrating on the skills and thinking processes that they need to achieve a sense of individual growth and artistic maturity," says instructor Mary Tomaskevitch. Particular emphasis will be given in the class meetings to painting methods, design and concept. This is a no-credit class, and there is no registration fee. For more information call the instructor at 728-2806. To register for "Watercolor Techniques" (CNED591, section 8053) call the Fallbrook satelite office at 7231058 between 6 and 9 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays.

Swimmers prepare for conference tilts By Rob Rowsey
"We just meet once in the conference, so we'll be ready by the time those events come. We'll know the competition," said women's swim coach Patti Waterman about her team's pre-season meets. These non-conferencewarmups are important for a couple of reasons, according to Waterman. Not only do her swimmers get a chance to size up the competition, but she gets to see what her team does against the opponents in a non-critical setting. ln the Southern California Relays, held in Santa Monica February 19, the Comets took fifth among ten teams behind Orange Coast, Santa Monica, Cuesta and Golden West. But at Fullerton on February 23 it was a different story. "We just killed them," she said. "We did really well. We took ten girls and we just killed them 91-25. We only lost one event, the 100 yard backstroke." In the Southern California Relays Waterman felt that the team didn't really do too badly, since only 12 out of21 swimmers went to Santa Monica. Fastest times at the Fullerton meet were registered by Mandy Wise and Jennifer DeDiminicantanio. Wise swam a 1.08 in the 100 fly, a 1.11 in the 100 individual medley and a 1.22 in the 100 breaststroke. DeDiminicantanio won the 50 yard freestyle in 28.2 seconds, more than two full seconds ahead of the second place swimmer. Even though it's still early in the season, coach Waterman is counting her losses. Tara Sterile's last minute
omission from the roster due to insufficient completed units last semester was a blow to the team. Each swimmer needs to have completed 12 units in preceding semesters or be currently enrolled as a full time student. "That really hurt us," said coach Waterman of Sterile's omission. "But she will be competing with us next year." · "She ·needed twelve units last spring and twelve units last fall and twelve units this semester to be on the team," said diving coach Leslie Woodstra. Men's swim coach Greg Ormsby was generally satisfied with the outcome of the Southern California Relays and the Fullerton meet, at which his team won. "The Relays went pretty good; It was just a relay meet, the first competition of the year, no real pressure to swim fast," said Ormsby. "At Fullerton we only sent seven swimmers. Fullerton only had five competitions and we won." "The final was 47-15. No real outstanding times." Coach Ormsby mentioned Brian Seymour and Paul Whiteley as noteable double swimmers. Seymour won in the 200 freestyle and the 200 backstroke and Whiteley won the 50 yard freestyle and the 100 freestyle. "I think we've got real good depth, but I don't know if we've got the individual talent to win the conference," said coach Ormsby. He predicts a second or third place finish in the league for the Comets. "Probably Orange Coast will be first and then Saddleback," he said.

Cagers win first • 1n playoff By Brad Cesmat
It had been 11 years since they were in the playoffs, but in the end the Comet cagers looked as comfortable as a defending champion as they beat Bakersfield College 67-61 in round one of the state playoffs last Saturday. While the final buzzer had Palomar escaping by a slim margin, the question in the first half, with the Comets leadfug comfortably 40-29, wasn't so much "if" the Comets would win, but by "how much."

Softballers defend title By Robin Rauch
"I think we're ready to defend our title." This is the observation of coach Mark Eldridge about his softball team as they head toward conference play this week Last year's conference cochampions shut out College of the Desert 8-0 February 17; tied Riverside 1-1 in a 12 inning game called due to darkness February 23; and lost to El
Camino 3-2 February 24. With those three games and a tournament they won earlier in the semester, the Comets are 7-1-1 in preseason play. "We had pretty tough pre-season competition," says Eldridge. "I think we're prepared for conference competition." The team had its first conference game yesterday against Southwestern. This weekend they go to the Bakersfield tournament, where they are defending champions. The tourney brings together the top teams from Northern and Southern California. "It's a pretty prestigious tournament," say Eldridge, who adds that they hope to do well. Next week conference play takes them to San Diego Mesa on Wednesday. They host Fullerton on Thursday and San Diego City on Friday. All games are at 3 p.m.
Gary Williams, who finished with a game high 32 points offered an explanation for the narrow win. "We started getting tired there toward the end and had to regroup and get back into the game. For a while we were running around like a bunch of chickens with our heads cut off." Comet Head Coach Andy Gilmour, in his nineteenth season, said his team has overcome injuries, has never quit and has had a good season to have gone this far, but he always did think that his team was underrated. "I felt that we were as good as anyone else in the conference," he said. "I think we're as good as Imperial Valley College (which is sixth in the state)." Gilmour went on to add that lastminute scoring is something the Comets are used to, but in previous outings they haven't always fared so well. "Twice we have lost games when we had a big lead," he said. Saturday they were a little bit more fortunate. Williams looks forward to playing Ventura because they boast the state's leading scorer and former teammate of his Los Angeles' Dominquez High School, Cedric Ceballos. "I'm looking forward to it," he said. Derwin Wesley scored 11 points and Greg Edward chipped in with nine.

A four run outburst in the eighth inning, powered by Mike Simmons' grand slam home run, paced the baseball team to a come-from-behind 11-9 win over Ch;Jfey College February 23 at Rancho Cucamonga. It was the second meeting of the season between the two teams, the Comets gaining a narrow 2-1 decision February 10. Palomar steps out of the Pacific Coast Conference play March 5, when they travel to Saddleback for a 1 p.m. game. The Comets resume league action March 8, when they journey to Mesa College for a noon game, followed by a home game against Imperial Valley on March 10 at 2 p.m. Coach Bob Vetter was outwardly pleased by his team's scrappy comeback Was he happy about the team's second win? "You bet." Chaffey took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, only to have Palomar score twice in the second on singles by Bill Dunckel and Clint Cruz and a two run single by Simmons. Chaffey tallied three times in the third, taking a 5-2 lead. The Comets countered with three runs in the fourth frame, knotting the score at 5. Dunckel and Cruz singled, Dunckel scoring on T.J. Flynn's double. On a ground-out by Tino Lozano, Cruz raced home. Flynn scored on a single
by Simmons. Chaffey went on top 9-5 in the middle innings, scoring twice in the fourth, and adding two more in the fifth. In the eighth inning Dunckel walked and Cruz reached on an infield error. This was followed by a walk to Flynn, loading the bases. With one out, Simmons' homerun emptied the bases, pulling Palomar into a 9-9 tie. The Comets won the game in the ninth inning, when Jeff Gilmore walked and moved to second on Rick Afenir's infield bunt single. An infield base hit by Dunckel loaded the bases. Cruz promptly singled, scoring Gilmore and Afenir to win the game. "Simmons really came through," said Vetter of his second year varsity catcher, revealing that he had only one hit in seven games prior to his timely hitting spree against Chaffey. "Our pitching was shaky at the start," acknowledged Vetter. John Lane, who started, and Oscar Lopez gave up nine hits between them in the five innings on the mound. Ray Chatton hurled two shut out innings in the sixth and seventh frames, as did Bill Painter who pitched the eighth and ninth. Vetter was pleased with his team's hitting. In all, the Comets banged out 13 hits. "We got the big hits when we needed them," said Vetter. "It shows that the ball club has the feeling that the players know they will have to keep plugging along."

Nona McClure: queen of mountain (Continued from page 1) lizard of about three inches in length. "I'm interested in the evolution of reptiles, also in the overall process of extinction, past, present and future," Banta says. To look at Banta, one could think that he is from the mountains. He is rugged looking, with a long, grey beard. You wouldn't be able to tell that he has a Ph.D. from Stanford.
When talking with the satellite center staff, it is highly noticeable that McClure has created a family-type atmosphere. When you visit the trailer-housed bookstore, it's pretty evident that everything is kept in the family. Vicki and Emilio Brionez have worked in the bookstore at Mt. Carmel for five years. But they also live part of the day at the main campus in the bookstore. It's interesting to note that Emilio and Vicki work opposite sides of the bookstore. Betty Petronaci works the middle cash register. "I've been standing between these two for five years," she said. "He's on that end and I'm on this end," Vicki says between customers. "At the main campus, I work inside and he works outside." McClure has some interesting stories to tell. One story involved a Saturday workshop dealing with anger. She taped arrows on the ground leading to the anger workshop classroom. On each arrow, she wrote "anger." She even went one step further to help make people who were
coming to the workshop even angrier. "I get 'em angry so they would enjoy the workshop." She also notes that for a procrastination workshop, people were late and some didn't want to pay their fee. McClure stresses that she and her staff do not feel separated from the main campus. On line computers, linked to the main campus, make it easy for resgistration. Counseling services are available. The high school's career center is utilized. McClure has been with Palomar since 1974, gradually working in a different array of positions, eventually leading up to her appointment as satellite center director four years ago. "I feel that I really understand the average, returning student and that's why we provide service which will make the student feel welcome," McClure said. "Service is our business. "I'm proud of what we do here. We're only a night school program with a limited staff, but still we are providing the same services as the main campus." A strong element in the Mt. Carmel program are the seminars available. On a given Saturday (the next date is March 12), students can enrich themselves by taking seminars in numerous subjects. For example, students can learn how to mix and mingle better at their next party, learn how to pass the S.AT., or how to sing, promising that there's no such thing as a tone-deaf person. Even quilting is available. Mt. Carmel is the largest of the four

Students voice approval of satellite campus By Larry Bouuolie
One student enjoys the convenient parking. Another attends school because the registration lines are short and books are readily available. Yet another attends because she finds the quality of education is high. These are some of the reasons that bring students to Palomar's Mt. Carmel satellite campus. The campus, located 19.7 miles from the main campus, offers close-by services for students in the Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos and Poway areas. "I don't feel comfortable at the main campus," said student Kristen Webber. Nona McClure "I take no classes there if I can avoid satellite centers, and McClure and the it."

"Many of the older people are afraid of registration lines and crowds," said McClure. To help ease the stress of registration, McClure enlists the bookstore and registration teams from the main campus to help process st•1dents. Arrows are taped on the ground directing students to classes. Guides are also hired to answer student questions about classes. "I feel if the initial contact is positive, then the students will return semester after semester," said McClure. To keep the students tied to the main campus, McClure communicates with them through the teachers' mailboxes. Important issues are being passed on through bulletins read at the beginning of each class. "It is important that the students ·feel connected to the main campus," said McClure. Full services are offered to all students attending Mt. Carmel. Health services through the main campus are available and a catering truck is at hand during instruction periods.

Because the college uses Mt. Carmel High School's facilities, no day classes are offered at the extension. Due to football games held at the high school, Friday classes are not offered. · A survey designed by McClure reveals convenience as the prime reason why students prefer the satellite campus to the main campus. Other reasons include preference of the small school atmosphere and the quality of instruction. According to McClure, "Students expect the best, and they get the best or they don't do business with us."
