Election Reynaga vetoes Hoop hoop hooray! deadline are overridden slated By Tom Fitzpatrick

When does a presidential veto not a veto make? When it is overridden by two-thirds of the student senate or exceeds the

Election dates and a new deadline for student government elections were announced in a March 9 memo by Election Committee Chairperson Fred Tracey. According to the new schedule, candidates must me a completed petition of intent to run by March 25.

EFFICIENCY RATE UP

Financial well being seems to be the most important value among college students, according to a report released by Dr. Alexander Astin, professor of education at the University of California at Los Angeles. The report, condensed in a memo to faculty members from Dr. George Boggs, president/superintendent, also shows that women students outnumber men and show the greatest increased interest in business careers and have a desire to have administrative responsibility for others. Other points in the report are: •Adults tend to be part-time students. •Women freshmen are the highest smoking group. •Business careers are the main vocational interest of college freshmen. Arts, humanities and social sciences majors have declined by 10 percent in 1987. •Interest in teaching careers have "plummeted." •There is a gradual trend against majoring in physical and life sciences, and mathematics has become a less popular academic discipline. •Students show a lower level of social concern. •Students have not become more conservative since the 1960's. Students take a liberal view in regards to the legislation of abortion, school bussing and defense spending. •The percentage of students in favor of legalizing marijuana has fallen from 52 percent in 1977 to 20 percent in 1987. •Community college students are more likely to be part-time, minority, disadvantaged and to hold part-time employment.

New phone system accepted By Fred Tracey People didn't know what to think about it. To some, it meant one more way of computers taking over everything. But now when people call the switchboard · and get a live person, they ask, "Where's the computer?" Since last July and $65,000 later, the new phone system made its mark on Palomar students and staff. No longer were they speaking to a live person when they called in. Now, they get D.I.A.L. (Direct Access Link), and if you're using a touchtone phone, you can dial the extension you are calling yourself. If you don't have a touchtone phone, you can stay on the line and a live person will be there to help you.

One of the "live" persons you are most likely to talk to is Maryann Amaya, Palomar's senior switchboard operator. Before coming to Palomar four years ago, Amaya spent seven and a half years with the telephone company in Chicago. She also worked at

the University of Chicago as a budget assistant. If you can catch Amaya during a quiet moment, she1l be glad to tell you what the new telephone system has meant to Palomar.

"One thing I think the system has given my office is more efficiency in answering calls. We have got the office to a 95% efficiency rate as far as personnel needs and handling the calls go." Human nature being what it is, some people calling in had a hard time getting used to the computer. "They didn't like it," explained Amaya. "But once we educated the people calling in on how to best use the system, they accepted it. A majority of the time, people are patient. But like any other business, there are those who are impatient." Under the old system, if the switchboard happened to be busy, it might have taken one of two switchboard operators 40 to 50 rings to answer a call. Now, with the D.IAL. system, 18 calls can be answered at one time, on one line.

Adding to this convenience, was the message capability each extension on campus can have. Pat Farris, business services coordinator, said she is hoping students will press their instructors who don't have the service to get it. If a student calls an instructor who is out of his/ her office, a student can leave a message. It may seem astounding to know that under tpe old system operators were answering 2,000 to 3,000 calls a day. But even with the new automated system, operators usually handle 850 calls a day.

Operators are able to spend a little more time with people to help them get whatever business they have done, or get them to the right person. "We have a lot of things to remember. There's a lot of general information to pass along to the public," Amaya said. "Being pleasant to people who call, that's what we do." People with questions or suggestions on telephone services are encouraged to call Pat Farris at Ext. 2108.

powers given to the president. Associated Student Government president Mary Reynaga encountered both circumstances after her February 19 veto of five motions approved by they senate. Senators voted at the March 2 government meeting to override her disapproval of two funding measures, one that gave $5000 for scholarships and another that provided the men's volleyball program with $2000, after briefly discussing then dismissing Reynaga's recommendations on the measures. The president had suggested that only $2000 be spent on scholarships this year and $1000 be placed in a trust fund. Interest from the fund would then be used for future scholarships. She also recommended that men's volleyball be given only $1500 and provided with the option of returning later with a request for an additional $500 if needed. A third veto, which sought to prevent a February 26 disqualification hearing, was virtually ignored after senate members determined Reynaga exceeded her authority by making the decision. A hearing to disqualify Mary Bagshaw and Suzie Yankton as senators because of alleged excessive meeting absences was held as scheduled on February 26 despite Reynaga's veto of the action. This, according to head senator Ken Green, was possible because the president lacks the authority to bar the senate from meeting. No action was taken at that meeting when a quorum failed to attend. Bagshaw was removed at a rescheduled March 4 hearing by a 2-1 vote, with one senator abstaining. Yankton quit before the hearing could be held. Reynaga fared better in her move to block spending $595 on jackets for cheerleaders and $9000 on furniture for the Student Union. Senators went with the president's recommendtions that only $250 be given to the cheerleaders and that $1000 of the money allocated for new furniture be spent in the student lounge.

Nursing need highlighted Students interested in careers as registered nurses can attend informational meetings in N0-1 every Thursdayat4 p.m. The one-hour meetings focus on the many career opportunities found in the nursing industry. A discussion of the Palomar program, prerequisites and a course outline are provided. Palomar's nursing education department offers a fully-accredited registered nursing degree. One purpose of the meetings is to raise public awareness regarding the serious shortage of nurses in this area. "The nurse shortage leaves many attractive job opportunities open in the San Diego area and across the country," according to Carolyn Richtmyer of the Palomar staff. "In San Diego County, for example, a recent graduate with an associate degree in nursing can expect to start at $1800 to $2000 per month in acute care hospitals and other community health agencies." The meeting room (N0-1) is located on the south end of the campus. For more information, call Ext. 2279.

Editor opposes new policy By Mary Hannify Beware, hide the cigarettes, and take a puff when no one is looking. What am I talking about? Anyone who is over 18 can smoke. But can they? If someone walks around the campus with a lit cigarette, it's okay. But enter the Student Union with a lit cigarette and you may find yourself ostracized. Why? Because the Administration with the support of the Wellness Team has since last summer issued a smoking ban in all buildings on the campus. Next thing you know the west and east ends of campus will be non-smoking sections, while the south end smokers will be allowed to smoke in the mornings and those on the north end can smoke in the afternoons and evenings. Granted I'm getting a little melodramatic, but when will this type of prohibition stop. Now I can take the first amendment and twist it around until it fits my arguement, but I won't.

Before last fall there was a non-smoking room called the Woody Room, now being occupied by the Comet Express. The express was installed by the the Food Services to enhance the cafeteria. Personally I feel the express did not enhance the cafeteria, I feel it is just another place to buy food. But that's my opinion. I feel that if the Woody Room could have been left, the adminstration could have found a way to turn it into a type of smoking section. Restaurants do it. Why can't the Student Union? Ah, but I know what your thinking what ' about latent smoke. I personally called up the American Cancer Society and was told that over 12,000 people in California died from lung cancer in 1986. Yet, in asking how many of those deaths were directly related to cigarettes, either direct inhalation or latent smoke, I was given a statistic of 80 to 90 percent. To you it might not seem like a vague statistic, but when I called up Mothers Aganist Drunk Driving I was given a flat number of 5,637 for the year of 1986. To me MADD was able to give me straight facts, but the ACS could not give me a direct number. Now I am not saying that smoking should be reinstated in all the buildings. I don't think students or teachers should smoke while they learn or teach; which ever the case may be, but to ban it from the Student Union really irks me. I know the college is interested in the students' and staffs' well-being, but lets face it some people just enjoy smoking. I am one of those people and I know I am not the only one.

It doesn't bother me to go outside and smoke. you can ask any of my friends; I'm a real courteous smoker. I go outside and smoke when I'm at a friends home, even when they insist it's okay to smoke in their home. When I am at my own home with my parents I go outside and smoke. They are non-smokers. I do this becasue I want to, not because I have to...

One of The Telescope staff members brought in a letter from R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, USA, informing smokers on Congress's intention to raise the cigarette tax by more then 50 percent.

Last year when I would go to the cafeteria I would eat outside and have a cigarette if the weather was nice. But at the beginning of the 1987 fall semester when it was raining I found it quite difficult to have a cigarette and keep it lit.

Do people stop buying cigarettes because of the tax increase? No! Smokers each year are contributing $4.5 billion, with a 16cents-per-pack, federal tax. If you look at it logically we smokers are helping to curtail the federal deficit.

Softball team takes fourth in tournament

Cagers charge into playoffs By Brad Cesmat

They just keep on winning. Maybe now people will start to believe that this basketball team is for real. The Palomar Comet basketball team has quietly, very quietly, advanced to the state basketball championship tournament. However it wasn't quiet Saturday night when the Comets, playing in front of a packed house at the Dome, ran past Pasadena City College 71-57. With the win Palomar met Columbia, ranked second in the nation by USA Today, in the quarterfinals of the state tournament at the University of Santa Clara last night. The Comets have won nine straight games. They've won three straight in the state tournament, including a road victory against the defending state champion Ventura. The Comets continued their bal-

anced scoring, putting five players in double figures. Palomar was led by Derwin Wesley's 16 points. Gary Williams and Rich Prusinski each tossed in 12. Prusinski added 10 rebounds, his big bruising body keeping the smaller Lancers off the boards most of the night. Coach Andy Gilmour was pleased with the sophomore's effort. "It was by far the best game Rich has played for us. He picked us up and kept us going." Pasadena edged in front early, but the Comets took the lead for good on a Prusinski lay-up which made it 32 with 2:12 gone in the first half. "we came out hyper and uptight in the early going," said forward Derwin Wesley. "But coach Gilmour got our heads back into the game at halftime and we came out more relaxed in the second half. That was the big difference."

Failing to defend their title, the softball team came home with a 2-2 record and a fourth place in the Bakersfield tournament last weekend. But being fourth out of 14 teams, in what is called the "Tournament of Champions," is not upsetting to coach Mark Eldridge. The tournament brings together all the California conference champions from the previous year, and involves some very intense competitions, according to Eldridge. The Comets started the tournament by losing to Orange County rival Fullerton College, 4-0. Then they got into the swing of things, beating Rio Hondo 1-0 and taking Cerritos 3-2. They ended their tournament play by losing to San Joaquin Rio, 3-2. Last weekend's play, plus a 3-0 win over Southwestern last Thursday, leaves the Comets with a record of 103-1 for the season so far. Eldridge expects the team to do even better as the season progresses. "We're already good," he says, "but we're going to be better." He says the team isn't playing its best yet, because he's been switching the line-up around. He's been giving all the players a chance to play, and testing which lineup works best. But, after strugglin g since the beginning of the season to fmd that perfect line-up, Eldridge thinks he's just about got it. "I've got Monday and Tuesday to decide," he said Sunday, after returning from the Bakersfield tournament. "By Wednesday's game I'll have a set line-up." Wednesday the Comets met what Eldridge calls their toughest competition, San Diego Mesa, on Mesa's home turf. Mesa tied Palomar for the conference championship last year. Today the locals play their third conference game as they host San Diego City at 3 p.m. Next Tuesday Palomar travels to Riverside, who they tied in a 1-1 game last month. Eldridge expects his team's play to improve greatly now that he has a set line-up. Players to watch this season are Karrie Schott (pitcher), Malia Faumina (catcher), Karen Yehling (infield), Kim Schott (infield), and Suzy Speckman (outfield). Karrie Schott was a 1987 first team All-American and the California state player of the year.

Swimmers second in relays By Robert Rowsey

Jeff Ross and Speed Farris led the men's and women's swim teams to an overall second in the Border Relays here March 4-5. Golden West won, followed by Palomar, S.D. Mesa, and Mt. San Antonio. A school record was set by Ross in the 1000 yard freestyle with a time of9:49.54. Farris won the 50 yard freestyle with 21.67. "It was an outstanding time for this point in the year," said men's swim coach Greg Ormsby. "He's swimming very well." "If they do that well, timewise at this point in the year, you know that they'll do a lot better at the end of the year," Ormsby added. Farris also took second place in the 100 yard butterfly event. One of the women's freshman standouts was Crystal Hollins, who won the 100 freestyle with a time of 56.4 and second in the 100 butterfly with 1:01.7.

Another contributor was Tessie MacDonald who won the backstroke relay, won the ironwoman relays, took second in the 200 freestyle, second in the 100 backstroke, and third in the 1000 freestyle. Dorrie Manriquiz took third in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:13.7 and third in the 50 freestyle. Women's swim coach Patti Waterman reported these events as being events won by the Comets: 200 medley relay with 2:00.13, swimmers: Leslie Peck, backstroke; Manriquez, breaststroke; Mandy Wise, butterfly; Hollins, freestyle. 600 yard ironwoman, swimmers: Hollins; Wise; MacDonald. 250 yard backstroke relay, swimmers: Leslie Peck; Lorie Hall; MacDonald. Despite the early honors for both the men's and the women's swim teams, coach Ormsby knows the real tests are yet to come. "In a dual meet it's a race and one or two key races could constitute a turnover to the point where we could win the meet," he said.

Netters ta¡lly victories By Gregg Lawton With their overall record now standing at 9-2, and conference record at 2-1, the women's tennis team is definitely on a roll this season. Although they lost to Grossmont 81 February 23, they are currently on a three-match winning streak with a 9-0 win at Southwestern February 25, and 8-1 victory at home over Saddleback March 2, and a 9-0 win at Imperial Valley March 3. "Imperial Valley was a wipe-out," women's tennis coach Nan Haugen

Baseball team extends streak By David Monnier Running their current win streak to five in a row, Palomar's baseball team tripped Southwestern 3-1 in a conference game March 3, and two days later beat Saddleback 5-3 in a nonconference skirmish to continue their winning ways. Coach Bob Vetter was pleased with his team's showing in both games, observing that the Comets have committed only one error in three games. "Looking back to our eight league wins in a row last season, and three more this season," said Vetter, "it gives us 11 league wins in a row over two seasons." The Comets travel to MiraCosta, March 12 for a 1 p.m. game, then to Grossmont, March 15 for a 2 p.m. skirmish, before returning home to entertain San Diego City, March 17 at 2p.m. Against Saddleback, Vetter used three pitchers to post the win. Ray Chatton opened on the mound, followed by John Lane, who hurled the fifth and sixth frames, with Bill Painter pitching the final three innings, to pick up the win. Palomar jumped off to a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Ron Howard tripled, and scored on an infield grounder by Jeff Gilmore. The Comets tallied twice more in the seventh on a single by Howard, a double by Jeff Gilmore, scoring Howard, and Bill Dunckel's single, chasing

Gilmore home. Saddleback tied the score at 3 in the eighth inning, but Palomar won with two runs in the ninth when Mike Simmons walked and moved to second on Lozano's bunt. Howard then bunted to load the bases. Simmons scored when Rick Afenir was safe on fielder's choice, and Lozano reached home on a single to center by Dunckel. "Howard was the hitting star of this game," said Vetter pointing to his triple, double and two singles, and scoring three times which led the 13 hit attack In going the distanc e against Southwestern, Mark Ringkamp scattered eight hits, struck out eight batters, and was supported in the field by an errorless performance. "Mark pitched very well," said Vetter of his slender righthander, adding, "He completely dominated the game, and got tough in the clutches." Palomar broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning when doubles by Manuel Mobley and Tino Lozano sent Mobley home. Lozano scored on a Howard single up the middle. Mobley paced the 10 hit attack against Southwestern with a double and single in four trips to the plate. Scrambling out of the starting gate in a hurry, Palomar's baseball team opened the Pacific Coast Conference title chase with a 9-7 win over Grossmont College, February 27, and a 100 rout of San Diego City College, March 1.

Against San Diego City it was no contest, as Coach Bob Vetters Comets banged out 12 hits, led by Ron Howard's triple and two singles. Palomar scored early and often against San Diego, jumping to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, when Howard tripled, followed by a walk to Bill Dunckel. Clint Cruz ripped a triple to center, scoring Howard and Dunckel, all after two were out. The Comets racked up three runs in the second frame, three more in the fifth , and added single runs in the sixth and ninth innings. Vetter felt that Chatton "pitched exceptionally well," adding that the team "played well in all areas, committing no errors and making great defensive plays." In the conference opener against Grossmont, it was another come from behind win for the Comets. Mark Mata opened on the mound, hurling the first three innings, followed by Ray Chatton, who pitched four frames, with Oscar Lopez pitching the eighth and Bill Painter the ninth. Mark Ringkamp pitched 7 2/ 3 innings for Palomar, with Bill Painter hurling the final1 1/ 3 innings. Against Grossmont, Dunckel paced Palomar's 14 hit attack with a four for four effort, while Manuel Mobley's two singles added to the heavy hitting spree.

said. But not all of their matches have been that easy. The team knew they were going to have a tough challenge when they went into their match against Grossmont. Grossmont proved to be the strongest team in the conference last year and the Comets know they will have to come up with a victory when they go against Grossmont again March 17. "I think we have a good chance the second time around," a determined Coach Haugen said. Palomar competes in the Pacific Coast Conference, which also consists ofGrossmont, Southwestern, Imperial Valley, San Diego Mesa, San Diego City, an d MiraCosta, which was forced to drop out a few weeks ago due to a lack of players.

Housing, jobs focus of club 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 qf PCI, 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.

Child center candy drive fattens funds for building By Robin Rauch Some students and staff may have put on a few extra pounds these days, but it was for a good cause. After a two-week candy drive that ended Tuesday, the Child Development Center is over $2000 dollars richer. Parents and staff from the center were selling chocolate bars for one dollar on and off campus, in order to raise money for building improvements. The money will go toward the replacement of Building Two, which houses toddlers and three-year-olds. The building is very old, says the

center's director, Mary Anne GiardinaRodgers, and it is "not worth putting more money into improvements" on the structure. The recent fundraising drive is the first of many to be conducted in the next three to four years, according to Giardina-Rodgers. "Our goal is to raise $10-20,000 dollars, if not more than that," she says. But it will take more money than that to replace Building Two, she adds, and the center will be looking to organizations and private donors to match the funds.

library services cited "Palomar's I.ibrary is considered the best research library in North County," says Dan Arnsan, public services librarian. Many features of the library ~re not known by students. For example, polaroid cameras, calculators and computers are available. Typewritters may be used free of charge. The Learning Resource Center has a vast assortment of cassettes, albums and video tapes which help students to learn more effectively.

Even though the library has college books, some people don't realize it also has recreation, science fiction, mystery, romance and craft books, just to name a few. Current magazines ranging from National Geographic to Botanical Review are found on the second floor. Information Trac II, a new computer, which lists all articles in 400 magazines for the past four years is a new innovation.
