Campus mourns health innovator

Dramatists start play rehearsals

By Mary Hannify

"What we slwuld strive for is to enhance the quality of our lives, rather then just the quantity. "

By Robert Rowsey

Excerpt from the forward section to "Fit for Life"

Steve Gouviea and Rich Metz will have the title roles in the drama Department's production of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are 'Dead."

Rehearsals have sfarted, but an open invitation for technicians and stage crew still exists, said play director Patrick Larmer.

The play, written 20 years ago by Torn Stoppard, centers on the two title characters who were originally minor characters in Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and have been extracted by Stoppard to fill their own story out in his play.

"It's absurdist theater,"said Larmer.

According to Larmer the play's main focus, as a comedy within a tragedy, lies in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's "struggle against fate," and their eventual death.

"They were two pawns," said Larmer, "who were sent on a trip to carry a letter with orders for Hamlet's execution."

"All along the way they're fighting this outcome," Larmer holds up his fists in front of him in a boxer's stance, "and says, 'This will not be my fate.'

It's kind of a fatalist's view on things if you believe that since a person dies his life is a tragedy. But just because someone dies it dQesn't mean that their life was necessarily a tragedy.

They may die tragically, but in the end everyone dies."

Rhetorical comedy is expected to be the play's main charm; the title characters interact in such a way as to be philosophically and linguistically amusing. One running gag in the show is the fact that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are difficult if not impossible to tell apart.

"It's not even clear if they know which one's which," said Larmer.

Although having a working knowledge of Hamlet is recommended, it isn't mandatory to enjoy the play. Most of the dialogue is in modern English, and only the small scene involving Hamlet uses Shakespearean English.

"It's in normal dialogue except for the scene with Hamlet, but it's really understandable," said theater technician Erik Rumple.

Cast members include: Steve Gouviea, Rosencrantz; Rich Metz, Guildenstern; John Douglas, The Player; Wyvonne Darty, Alfred; Mike Coburn, Mitchell Murdock, William Schellenger and Dan Heggern, Tragedians.

Patrick McBride, Hamlet; Tina Gird, Ophelia; Jim Robinson , Claudius; Daniela Heggern, Gertrude; W.R. "Bob" White, Polonius; Scott Griffm, Soldier; Christopher Johnson, Horatio; Dan Gee, Ambassador; Ingrid A Chilberg, Pam Paulson, Christopher Christman, Courtiers and Attendant.

"A proper response to the play would be at first to laugh and then to think," said Lai:rner. "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are really a metaphor for the whole human race."

The play will run April 15-16 and 21, 22, 23 at 7:30p.m. with the doors opening at 7 p.m. and with Sunday matinees on April 17 and 24 at 2 p.m. with the doors opening at 1:30.

Ticket prices are $6 for seniors, students and staff, and $6 general. For more information call the Palomar College Community Theatre, Ext. 2453.

Child Development Center sponsors annual celebration

By Robin Rauch

Presto the Ciown, Billy Bob, Wasteless Willy, and Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs are just a few of the many guests to be featured at next Wednesday's Week of the Young Child celebration.

From 9 am. to noon at the clock tower, the Child Development Center and Department will be sponsoring several activities, exhibits, and special events to celebrate America's children.

The celebration is part of a yearly nationwide campaign designed to bring to the forefront the rights and needs of America's children.

"The Week of the Young Child emphasizes the rights, needs, and wellbeing of all of our young children," says Mary Anne Giardina-Rodgers, director of the Child Development Center.

"We would like to provide the public with information about the nature of and the need of quality services for children. And, of course, to actively support the efforts designed to improve the status of young children."

One way of improving the status of young children, she says, is to make people aware that education is important.

"We want people to be aware ... that an education starts at a very early age ... it starts when the child is born. We would like to bring to the forefront that we need to educate the total child from the very beginning of life, which means that we're not only stressing academics, but we're lookng at the total well-being of the child."

One of the ways the week will be celebrated nationally is with a TV documentary to be aired Wednesday

evening on PBS. The program, "Who Cares for America's Children? The State of Child Care in America," talks about the rights of children and families, and what policy makers can do to protect those rights.

In addition, says Giardina-Rodgers, "all over people who deal with children will be doing something to celebrate that week."

In North County, that "something" will be Wednesday's celebration at the clock tower.

The event will start at 9:30am. with a show by Presto the Clown. At 10:30 a.m. a puppet show will be presented by the Burn Center, and at 11:30 am. the Star Spangled Kids will perform a dance.

Superintendent/President Boggs will make a proclamation at noon. He will also award Giardina-Rodgers and Dr. Goody Berk, head of the Child Development Departments, for their excellent service to children and students during their last 13 years on campus.

In addition to the special events, there will be 35 exhibits for children and students to visit. They include exhibits by the San Marcos Fire Department, the Woodward Animal Center, and West Coast Gymnastics.

There will also be special activities for children, such as a bubble jump, a sensory walk, and parachute play.

There will also be special guests, including Billy Bob, Wasteless Willy, Smokey the Bear, and Big Bird.

Parents and staff of the Child Development Center will also be on hand selling hot dogs, Pepsi and popcorn to benefit the center.

"A Lot of Compromisin' On The Road To My Horizon," off'ered by George Jereich, is on display during the California Glass Exchange Exhibit at the Boehm Gallery, along with other art works. The exhibit runs through May 11. Open to the public, the gallery displays are Tuesday, 10 to 4; Wednesday and Thursday, 10-7; Friday, 10-2 and Saturday noon to 4. Admission is free.

If I Should Die While Running·...

REVENUE SERVICE

By Michael A Curran (From a press release in 1984.)

They'll say well that's a joke; He watched his diet and his weight, He didn't even smoke!

They'll snicker at the barroom As they down another beer, ''That running stuffs no good you know, He should've stayed in here!"

Blame my demise on running?

That's not what made me fall, Ijazzercised and biked and swam, Hey, why not blame it all!

Other folks will theorize, "Endorphines were his high," ''The lonely runner syndrome," "Antisocial!" Sorry, just won't fly.

There is nothing really wrong with me, (Aside from being dead!) _And when St. Peter queried me, Here's simply what I said: I could have changed my life I guess And lived another way Maybe doing differently, I'd be alive today...

But, I'd have missed the morning sunrise as jogging woke my thoughts and evening runs with fragrance change that helped dissolve the day...the long runs and the short runs the walks along the way Forget all that, that's "Runner's World," I did . it all for me!

You see the simple truth was, that's how · I chose to be!!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Satanic ritual seen in fat testing machine

By Robin Rauch When I came home from work my mot~r was laid out on the dining room table, minus her shoes and socks, with small electrodes attached to her wrists and ankles. My family was gathered around her in what I immediately recognized as a Satanic ritual.

As it turns out, it was not a Satanic ritual, but something far more sinister...fat testing.

"Get on the table," they chanted at me.

"You're next ...you're next."

"No," I answered with fear in my voice.

"It will only tell me what I already know.

I've got too much fat."

"You have to," they goaded, "we've all done it. It's your turn."

They seemed to sway back and forth, and the hum of the fat-testing machine was lulling me into submission.

"No, no," I pleaded as I backed away. "I won't do it; I won't do it."

The next thing I knew I was laid out on the dining room ·table, min us my shoes and socks, with small electrodes attached to my wrists and ankles.

"Just relax," said my sister as she loomed over me. "This will only take a second."

She pressed a button, and in an instant this new toy of hers spit out my "fitness profile."

It only confmned what I already knew; I had too much fat in my body, and I needed to shape up.

The test results, however, were not the worst part of the evening. The worst part was the way my family treated the results.

My 59-year-old father, who tested at an amazing 15 percent body fat, walked around the house with tightened stomach

Space sharing advised To the editor,

Club urges recycling To the editor, RECYCLING -- This is a word that is receiving a lot more respect lately. So is the word conservation! Maybe it reflects the growing maturity of our society.

Maybe we are finally realizing that there are limited resources on this earth and that if we do not practice conservation and recycling, our "day of reckoning" will be upon us much too soon.

Realization is good!! We need only to change our habits a little bit in order to conserve a lot. Instead of dumping that aluminum can in the trash, just put it into a separate bag, put the bag of cans by your books, bring the bag to school and place it in one of the conveniently located Circle · K Club aluminum can

collection boxes located on campus!

A Circle K Club member will collect the cans, bring them to a redemption center, collect the money and tutn it over to the child-care center as a fundraiser.

You, as a conservationist, will not only be helping society in general, but you will also be making a statement that you care.

The child-care provided to our students is crucial, allowing many of them to remain in schooi and better their lives.

They will appreciate your efforts, as will the Circle K Club members.

If you would like to participate in a social-service organization such as Circle K, meetings are on Monday's at noon in B-25. Drop on by! ·, Circle K Club

muscles, imploring people to punch him.

He also put his results on the refrigerator, modestly labeled "DAD" in large black letters.

Then my 14-year-old brother, who came in at eight percent, decided we should all post our results on the refrigerator.

My sisters, my mother and I seemed to be powerless as our less-than-ideal results were posted along with those of the Fitness Kings.

My brother was doing his best Saturday Night Live "Hans and Franz" imitation, calling us "you lazy flabby babies!"

We women just sat despondently at the table, discussing why we had such problems with our fat. We exercised. We dieted. We worried about it regularly. So what was the answer?

Some of us had given up sweets altogether. Others had given up fat. No butter, no mayonnaise, no oil.

My mother added that she'd also given up saccharin, citrus fruits, and onions and peppers, because they all upset her stomach.

And one of my sisters can't drink milk products, and another has sworn off chocolate.

We all agreed we should give up salt. Not only is it bad for you, but it retains water and makes you puffy.

"What's left?" we sighed, looking at each other and glancing at our results on the refrigerator.

It all seemed hopeless, and we were all feeling depressed, and it seemed there was nothing more we could do.

I had a bowl of chocolate pudding and tried to forget about it.

Referring to the article about limited club office space in the Telescope's last issue, I offer you this opinion.

For the past two semesters I have been making my daily trip from the Student Union and I always pass by the club offices for MEChA and the Black Student Alliance. Both of these offices are almost always empty, and on occasion, I see a few people inside "hanging around." Both clubs seem to have no outward mobility or visibility on campus and don't seem to do anything productive... EVER! I say to myself, "What a waste of space!" quite often. It seems illogical to give a valuable piece of office space to a group so they can waste it and just be "couch potatoes."

They can meet at home for that.

My point is... does any club have the right over another to exclusive office space? No, they don't. Those offices belong just as much to the Palomar

College students as they do to BSA or MEChA We could take that wasted space and have that quiet study room we've been desiring. Then, the space wouldn't be wasted at all.

But we must also consider the clubs.

They are made up of students and are students in a sense. My solution is that these should be neutral club meeting areas and clubs should sign up to use them. All clubs.

The individual clubs should be allowed desk space to work with but not exclusively.

It is evident that these rooms are wasted a large portion of the day, so why not put some time management into action.

We could make many clubs and groups happy by doing this. Perhaps the BSA and MEChA will be inconvenienced at first, but they would get used to it. They probably wouldn't notice at all. They're never there! Good luck all!

New computers aid business trainees

By Mary Hannify For the last 12 years the Business Education Department has helped students achieve their goals in business and eduction.

and knowledge of the computer."

Students who complete the course have a good chance of being placed in jobs with the skills they have acquired during their educational time.

"Students can get in one basic entry level," Dolan said. "There is a lot of expansion in the secretarial field."

Dolan added that even though the . field is open for promotions, it depends on education and the desire of the individual to succeed.

Now to help the Business Department bring the education in a pure and more qualified source, the department has received new computer systems.

The reason for getting the computers is to update the systems to better educate the students.

"We recognize the fact that there is a need for computer training in the North County area," said Judy Dolan, instructor for the Business Department.

Twice a year the five year old Advisory Committee for the Office Education Department meets to determine what the department needs to properly and effectively train students.

"One meeting is off campus, while the second meeting is on campus and the Advisory Committee asks why the department is not up-to-date," Dolan said.

After that point the department tries to find funds in order to purchase the needed equipment for their students.

The computers that have been purchased are already in use by the Office and Business Education classes.

Dolan said that most of the students who are going into the field as secretaries or office managers have a pretty good chance of getting a job, because of all the connections the Office Education Department has at hand.

The new computers that make up

•

"Secretaries can move up in their position laterally and vertically," Dolan said. "Working as a secretary used to be redundent. Yet, now with all the new computers and machines, secretaries are not doing the same old thing."

Dolan related a story of a young girl who had called and said that her boss had purchased a computer and wanted her to be knowledgable enough with the machine that she would be able to use it.

•

,j Judy Dolan, instructor for the Business Education Department, aids student Robert Dowell on a new computer acquired by the business lab.

(Photo by Marilynn Young) the lab were suggested by the Advisory Committee because of their wide use in area businesses.

The IBM model 2, System 30 computers are in the Office Education class. In the business class the new Xerox memory typewriters have been purchased and are the newest typewriters on the market today. Also IBM System 50's, Word Perfect, Word Star, Wang, Apple Works and NCR systems

make up the computers in the Office and Business Education Department.

Dolan said that both the Office and Business Education Departments offer open entry/ open exit classes.

Those students who complete 32 hours of lab time receive one unit of credit.

"San Diego State University requires computer literacy," Dolan said. ''The literacy is some kind of application

She c~lled the campus and talked with Dolan who said that she could learn on the computers in the lab.

Although the secretary had only three days to learn the machine and could only come in the morning, because of the flexibility of the hours of the lab, Dolan was able to work out a schedule allowing the girl to learn the system.

Following is a list of classes being offered in the Office Education Department in B-22: Advanced Typing is a training in error analysis to improve speed and accuracy course.

Word Processing is a hands-on and

conceptual training on state-of-theart word processing software.

Office Procedures deals with microcomputer data entry activities, such as office simulation, emphasizing paper-flow concepts.

Machine Transcription coordinates eye-hand-foot skills needed in transcribing a variety of documents with either general, legal or medical emphasis.

Filing and Management is a basic alphabetic rules applied to alphabetic, geographic, subject and numerical filing.

Shorthand Skill Development is a review of shorthand theory and vocabulary, speed and accuracy developments, and production of mailable transcripts.

All of these classes are open entry/ open exit classes.

One class that can be taken in the Business Education Department in B21 is Keyboarding for 1.5 units starting April 12 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1-2:20 p.m.

This is an eight week course on the IBM computers, but is not designed for the student who is planning to be a secretary or production typist. It is just to learn the basic usage so the student can work in every day situations.

"A student will learn keyboarding that is efficient and productive, an essential job skill for today's advanced technology," said Dolan.

Losing weight: Farrell's most challenging role

By Fred Tracey Getting someone to talk about their weight problem is almost, if not, impossible.

But getting someone to talk about how he or she has controlled their weight problem is easy as pie.

For Beda Farrell, it wasn't a question of if she should have the pie, but how much you eat. But without

direction or support, a program could turn out to be 'just another diet."

So for some people, like Farrell, a support program is sought out, one like Weight Watchers.

In October 1985, at 183 pounds, 5'6" Farrell .did join Weight Watchers. Nine months later, she reached her weight loss goal of 50 pounds and came out at a slim 133.

"I needed a change in lifestyle,"

Farrell said. "I needed to become in control of my eating habits. I heard that Weight Watchers was running a membership special, and I decided it was do or die!"

is involved with a maintenance program that teaches Weight Watchers participants how to add food back into their diets without starting to gain weight back. Skills to get a temporary weight gain are taught.

Farrell hasn't gone over her weight goal, 133 pounds.

"I get a real pleasure out of seeing other people deal with their weight.

I know from experience that it is a struggle."

Farrell, 4·6, currently works as assistant to the director of the Palomar College Development Foundation. She has held two other positions in the past three years. While a student at Palomar, Farrell was active in the Music and Speech departments and is currently active with the La Jolla Symphony Chorus.

Having this performance experience and getting roles that required a certain weight was difficult.

"I've always had this wish to be a performer. I've felt inhibited about my weight. J,3ut that doesn't bother me anymore."

Having made a commitment to herself to lose the weight she wanted to lose, Farrell entered her first Weight Watchers session.

"On the first night, I literally felt a great weight lifted off my shoulder. It was like I could give up something old for something new. I felt like I was embracing a new lifestyle . ''The people who attend the meetings are from all age groups. It's a real good composite of the population.

We're all there to learn about one thing: eating behaviors. We can all relate in someway to someone else's problem, or even success."

Farrell said that the decision to begin the program was her own, and that the commitment was solely for herself. While her daughter was supportive, her husband had become reserved about the sudden decision to change her lifestyle.

Support groups help women cope

By Robin Rauch

So the center is there, for the woman who needs special support, who is a single mother, who ·is looking for a career, or is going through a divorce.

"And if she's not going. through a

"Students helping students" is how CARE coordinator Lois Galloway describes three support groups currently being sponsored by the women's center.

"Basically, these workshops are just removed from the cafeteria to the women's center," she says. "When you go through that room, you'd be surprised at the conversations you hear."

divorce," says Galloway, "you may have a woman who's been a homemaker for years, and now she's coming back to school. She needs a support system, not necessarily from another homemaker, but from a female, who may understand some of the hardships and problems she has encountered."

The first group is called "The Juggling Act: Mother/Student Role." The second is "Single and Feeling Great," and the third is a money management workshop.

The support groups are made up of Palomar women who meet weekly to discuss current issues related to school, work, and being female.

For more information on the support groups, contact the women's center at Ext. 2597, or Lois Galloway at Ext. 2240.

Midday concerts continue in April

The first support group, "The Juggling Act," deals with the issue of juggling the roles of mother and student.

It is difficult handling both roles, says Galloway, and there is often guilt involved in leaving the family and going to school.

In the second group, "Single and Feeling Great," students meet to discuss the various problems encountered by single women, both socially and professionally.

"A relationship usually takes a back burner to a full-time program," says Galloway.

The third workshop helps students manage their money and "stretch that dollar."

Galloway is usually present when the support groups meet, so she can help start the discussion. Once. the students get going, however, she slips away and leaves them on their own.

Confidentiality is the key, says Galloway. She stresses that anything said in the support group will not leave the room.

She also emphasizes that the group is a commitment. Women should not treat it casually, dropping in on the support group only when they feel like it.

Galloway says the support groups started as a result of students who felt the need to give something back to other students. They wanted to share some of their own concerns, knowledge, and experience.

The support groups can take no more than eight women each, but there is still room in all three.

Wny the special support groups for women, and why a special center just for women?

~tlll04emcs meet and share concerns at a recent support group meeting held at the Women's Center. (L toR) Lynn Day, support group leader of "Single and Feeling Good," Roberta Yando,

Galloway thinks women have a special need for a place where they can meet and share their concerns.

"I think that if we had a co-ed center, women wouldn't feel comfortable with sharing some kinds of personal things that go on in their lives."

"You're talking about understanding, and being able to relate," she adds.

"I think women coming back to school basically need to have that kind of bond , and that kind of support system."

John Erickson, director of EOPS, also feels women in college have special needs.

"Colleges are structured with some very traditional assumptions," he says, "...that everyone is equal coming into the process, and basically has a generic set of challenges that they have to deal with.

"In looking at these traditional generic challenges, they don't take into consideration the special situations in which women often find themselves."

Erickson is speaking of situations such as being a single mother going to school, or trying to balance family and student life. And these are the types of special situations dealt with in the support groups.

Honor society seeks people Alpha Gamma Sigma is rebuilding.

All students with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher are eligible for membership. Students must maintain this average each semester to obtain continuing membership.

Part-time and night students who are taking 16 hours over the course of three consecutive semesters and meet the GPA criteria are also eligible.

The society honors those students who are genuinely interested in academic progress. Permanent membership may be conferred on students who have been active members for two semesters and have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or above for one semester of membership with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above.

Permanent members receive a gold seal on their diplomas and annotation of permanent standing on their Palomar transcripts. Scholarships are awarded each spring and are available to all active members.

Applications and more information may be obtained in room R-18, or the Associated Students Office located behind the student lounge.

The center is not only for support groups. It is open several hours during the week for women to drop in. it also serves as a referral center, providing women various kinds of information, from where to get inexpensive shoes for their children, to where to call if they are battered wives.

She feels it is very important for reentry women to have a place where they can air their anxieties, and get help for their special needs. And so she works "above and beyond the call of duty" to keep the women's center on its feet.

Spotlighting music of twentieth century composers, the Music Department will continue a festival of contemporary Music as part of the midday Concert Hour recitals. Music by composers such as Stephen Blumberg and Terry Riley includes diverse instrumation and artistry.

Performances by Loie Wheeler and John Flood, vibraphone/ piano duo, will be from 12:30- 1:30 p.m. on April 12, while Elissa Stutz, piano, will perform music of Russian and Ukranian composers April 14 from 12:30 1:30 p.m.

All concerts will be held in the Performance Lab (D-10), Music Department Complex, and are free of charge. For furthur information, call Ext. 2316 or 2317.

The center is also trying to establish a petty cash fund for student emergencies.

In addition to all this, they also give classes for credit. Next semester they will sponsor two classes, "Survival skills for the re-entry women 1 and 2." .

As much as anything, says Galloway, the center is a place for women to simply come in and relax.

Galloway took over the center last fall, and says she puts in a lot of extra hours working on it.

Like the students in the support group, she felt a need to give something back to other students.

She too was a reentry student, and understands how difficult it is for a woman to reenter the academic or working world.

Comet nine wins; resumes title chase

Svvimmers outpadd le Mt. SAC

By David Mounier

A two run uprising in the fourteenth inning paced the baseball team to a thrilling 7-6 win over Chaffey College in the championship bracket of the Jim Towne Memorial Tournament March 29-April 1 at Meyers Field.

Coach Bob Vetter's Comets entertained Arizona Western, Chaffey and Mt. San Antonio at the mid-season classic.

Palomar tripped Mt. SAC 9-6 March 29 and Arizona Western 4-2 March 30 before losing to Chaffey 8-4 March 31.

This snapped a 17 game win streak, setting up the showdown for the tourney title.

In the ch·a mpionship skirmish, with the score knotted at five in the fourteenth, a double by Mike Simmons and a single by Ron Howard produced the winning runs for the Comets, nailing down their third straight Jim Towne Memorial tourney.

Bill Painter, pitching the first six innings, and Ray Chatton, hurling the final eight frames, gave up only seven hits combined, while their teammates pounded out 19 hits. Chatton notched his sixth win against no losses for the season.

Vetter expressed pride in his ball club, exclaiming, "They were all good ball clubs," adding: "The players weren't satisfied with the loss to Chaffey, and hung in there to win" an important game.

Palomar resumes legal play Apnf i 2, when they journey to Southwestern, followed by a non-conference game against San Diego State's J.V. squad at Meyers Field April 14, before hosting Mesa again, Aprill6. All games are at 2 p.m.

Earlier, the Comets inconference action posted a 9-5 win over Grossmont on March 15, a 10-0 rout of San Diego City March 17, followed by a narrow 10-9 triumph over Southwestern March 19.

With first place up for grabs in the Pacific Coast Conference standings, Palomar's baseball team traveled to Mesa College March 24 and took a firm grip on the top spot with an impressive 2-0 win.

The· Mesa game was an important win for Coach Vetter's charges, as they padded their league lead to two full games over the Olympians, who they defeated 9-3 in first round action.

"It was a masterpiece by Chatton," said Vetter of his pitching ace, who notched his fourth win of the season against no losses.

The slender right hander allowed only five hits, walked none and was supported in the field by a flawless performance. That along with Howard's eighth inning home run, "put the icing on the cake."

By beating Mesa for the second time this season, the Comets improved their record to 12 straight wins, 10 coming in conference action, and 18 conference games in a row over two seasons.

Palomar took an early 1-0 lead in the second when Bill Dunckel singled, stole second and scored on Cruz' single to right.

Both teams played on even terms until the eighth frame, when Howard unloaded his home run, his second in the last two games.

"I'm happy for Ray," revealed Vetter, adding, "I'm happy for the kids" for posting a win "against a very good ball club."

The Comets pounded out eight more hits, paced by Dunckel, with two singles and Howard's home run.

Terming it as a game that was "fortunate to win," Vetter acknowledged that the Comets "did not play well defensively" against Southwestern, committing five errors during the game.

In posting their ninth straight league victory, it was another comefrom-behind win for Palomar, as they came from one down in the bottom of the ninth inning to pull out the win, when Howard unleashed a "400 foot" home run to turn defeat into victory.

Palomar owned a 6-1 lead after three innings on timely hitting by Rick · Afenir, Simmons and Flynn.

Scoring once in the opening frame, Southwestern scored three times in the fourth, trimming the Comets' lead to 7-4.

Confronted with their first league loss of the season, the Comets scratched back to pull out the win.

Simmons walked, and was replaced

by Jason Dawes as a pinch runner.

Manuel Mobley sacrificed Dawes to second, and advanced to third on Tino Lozano's fly ball. With two outs and two strikes on Howard, the speedy infielder belted his long home run to maintain Palomar's p.e rfect league record.

Painter, in relief of Ringkamp, notched his third win of the season, against one defeat.

It was another easy win for the Comets against San Diego City, as they built up an 8-llead after three innings of play.

After Howard singled and stole second, consecutive doubles by Scott Gilliam, Afenir and Dunckel produced a 4-0 lead in the first inning.

Palomar scored three times in the sixth inning, when with two runners on base, Gilliam hit a towering home run, followed by a lone marker in the seventh to complete the rout.

Chatton went the distance for the Comets. Gilliam with a triple and home run, Dunckel, with a double and two singles, Cruz with three hits, and Howard and Afenir with two hits each led the 15 hit attack Behind a 20 hit attack against Grossmont pitchiong, paced by Lozano's three run seventh inning home run, the Comets nailed down their seventh straight league win.

Three successive singles in the second frame by Dunckel, Cruz and Flynn scored Dunckel. When Simmons singled, Cruz raced home, Flynn scoring on a single by Mobley.

A two run rally in the second and third innings by Grossmont knotted the score at 4-4, only to have Palomar go ahead to stay with lone markers in the fifth and sixth innings.

With Mobley and Flynn on base in the seventh inning, Lozano drilled a home run, sending three runs across the plate.

"Lozano is swinging a hot bat," said Vetter of his talented outfielder, adding, "He has hit the ball well in the last few ball games."

In all, Comet pitchers Ringkamp and Painter were roughed up for 13 hits, while Palomar's defense committed four errors.

"We didn't play well defensively," said Palomar's mentor. "It's a healthy sign when you win with that many errors."

Lozano and Flynn led the hit parade, Lozano with three hits, including a home run, and Flynn with a double and a pair of singles, scoring three times.

The second weekend in March went well for both the men's and women's swim teams.

On March 11 the Comet men took out Mt. San Antonio College 74-29, while the women's team won with an equally strong 84-36 score.

In the Saddleback Gaucho Pentathlon March 12, the women's A team took second overall and the men finished third.

It seems sad that the strong swimming Comets will be eventually thwarted in their attempt at winning the conference championships, but according to women's swim coach Patti Waterman, that's exactly what must happen.

"Orange Coast College is in our conference and they've won the last six years in a row," she said, adding that although Orange Coast is tough, her team will give them a run for its money.

"If I was to rank my team among the 27 community colleges in Southern California, I'd say we're about fourth or fifth."

Waterman placed the Comets behind Santa Monica, Cuesta, Golden West and Orange Coast in the region.

Board postpones Band concert appeals to all musical tastes Gregoryk issue

By Fred Tracey

Voting 3-2 to postpone a recommendation that would reclassify business manager Mike Gregoryk, the Governing Board will allow faculty and staff to comment on the issue before it makes its final decision about the reclassification.

A recommendation, as proposed to the Governing Board at its March 8 meeting, asked that Gregoryk's position be reclassified to assistant superintendent/vice president for finance and administrative services. Gregoryk's salary would increase from $4,969 to $5,128 monthly.

The reclassification. issue has drawn a conflicting line between the faculty and the Governing Board and Palomar President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs.

At the March 8 Board meeting, Music Department associate professor, Dr. Joe Stanford, accused the Governing Board and Dr. Boggs of "slipping the issue" by the faculty.

"It will be a slap in the face of the faculty since we were not involved in part of the decision making process," Dr. Stanford said to the board. "The . relationship between the board and · the staff, faculty and students has been undermined.

"President Boggs has in the past, taken issues under advisement, made decisions, and then has forced us to abide by them."

Dr. Stanford also claimed that Gregoryk's new title would give him more power than he should have and also questioned why he is a member of the task force involved in conducting a search for a permanent vice president of instruction.

Dr. Boggs responded that Gregoryk would have to work with the new vice president, so it only seemed appropriate that Gregoryk be on the search committee.

The postponement marks the third time that the Governing Board has delayed the issue. Despite the three public meetings in which the board has discussed the reclassification, it has tabled its decision for seven weeks in order to receive campus input.

The issue has raised questions on how much say the faculty has, or will have, on administrative decisions made by the president and the Governing Board.

What does the faculty have to fear or gain if Gregoryk is reclassified to vice president?

Being questioned about this by the board, Dr. Stanford only said, "The upgrade of this position will affect the operation of the faculty."

Both Dr. Stanford and faculty senate president Bill Bedford say the reclassification should be brought before the Reorganization Subcommittee which makes recommendations on departmental reorganizations.

Dr. Boggs claimed that although he did address the Reorganization Subcommittee regarding the issue, he has always felt that Gregoryk's reclassification is a personnel issue and not an organizational one.

Dr. Boggs stressed that he has taken the issue to the Reorganization Subcommittee twice for comment and has also discussed it with the faculty senate prior to it being taken to. the Governing Board for a final vote.

Both the Governing Board and Dr. Boggs feel that Gregoryk's job responsibilities have increased since he was hired in 1985 as Palomar's chief business officer.'

As business manager, Gregoryk is responsible for the supervision of: buildings and grounds; purchasing; accounting/payroll; the bookstore; food services; human resources; data processing; telephone and duplicating services, as well as Palomar's fiscal operating budget.

A survey, ordered by the district, shows that 11 community colleges in California with enrollment similar to

Palomar classify their chief business officer as a vice president or assistant superintendent, or both. Four colleges indicated that like Palomar, their top business executive is classified as business manager.

That same survey also said that it is unusual for Gregoryk, as business manager, to supervise so many areas of Palomar.

Board member Barbara Hughes questioned Dr. Stanford further on how the Governing Board "slipped the issue" by the faculty.

"We didn't hear about it except through the minutes of previous board meetings," Dr. Stanford responded.

"And then we heard about it at the faculty senate meeting. But then we had a vacation (Christmas), and then you held a meeting off campus."

"As a member of this board, I resent being told we are trying to slip anything by the faculty," Hughes told Dr. Stanford. "This is an open forum, we even formed a committee to study this reclassification last December."

Leon Baradat, who serves on the Governing Board and is also a political science instructor at MiraCosta College, defended Dr. Boggs' record of working with the campus community in seeking feedback from the faculty and the various campus committees.

The ·classified staff union, Council of Classified Employees/ American Federation of Teachers, voiced concerns about the reclassification, saying that some classifed staff members have also been waiting for reclassifications.

It is expected that the faculty senate will hear input on the issue before the Governing Board makes . its final decision on Gregoryk's reclassification in May.
