Commencement set June 15 Neil Morgan, columnist and editor of San Diego's Evening Tribune, will be the featured speaker at the annual commencement ceremony Wednesday evening, June 15, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Dome.

A reception, hosted by Palomar's student government, follows the ceremony. Graduates and their guests are welcome to attend the reception free of charge.

Candidates for graduation and for certificates are required to meet in the educational theatre prior to 5 p.m. for processional instuctions. Personal belongings, such as purses, should be given to relatives or friends to hold during the ceremony so that nothing has to be carried.

The entire ceremony will be videotaped, and students may purchase a copy of the tape for approximately $20 plus tax. Photographs will also be taken of each student receiving a diploma or certificate.

No tickets are required, and no limit has been set for the number of guests

that graduates may invite to the ceremony.

Caps and gowns may be purchased now in the bookstore. The cost is $11.50, plus sales tax.

Individuals who are unable to buy a cap and gown may be able to borrow one from the office of student activities, Ext. 2594. Caps and gowns are required for all those who march in the procession.

Donations of caps and gowns after the ceremonies will be welcomed by the office of student activities so that the number available to borrowers will be larger next year.

Disabled students who need special arrangements to participate in the ceremondy are asked to call the director of student services, Dr. Kent Backart, Ext. 2177, prior to June 15.

Students who attend the commencement ceremony will receive free diploma covers. Graduates who do not attend may purchase a cover in the records office.

Diploma covers received June 15

will be empty at commencement. All diplomas and certificates will be mailed in late July to the address which students indicated on their applications for graduation or certificates.

Persons who have not yet applied for graduation or certificates may still do so and attend commencement, but their names will not appear in the printed program. Their names will be read during the procession, however.

Graduates and certificate recipients will also be honored at the "President's Concert" Saturday, June 11 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 12 at 3 p.m. in the educational theatre.

Tickets are free to graduates and may be obtained at the box office between noon and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. They will not be available at the door without prior reservation.

Questions about the commencement exercises should be directed to the office of student services, Ext. 2677.

Discount card proposed

By Kevin Adams Struggling to keep pace with the ever-obsolescent computer age, plans are being formulated to make available to every Palomar student, a magnetized identification card for use at the library, bookstore, EOPS office and other frequented student services.

The Discount Card would be a personalized ID card for each student,

as well as a key allowing access to a computer network containing the student's essential statistics, like Social Security Number and present class schedule.

The goal of the card, according to ASG head senator Ken Green, is to cut down on paperwork and save time for the student.

"Looking for easier access on campus is the main idea behind the card," said Green. He has been an ardent supporter of the card, discussing it

frequently in ASG meetings. He has also been instrumental in organizing a work-study program for the coming summer to recruit students in the search for off-campus sponsors for the card. The sponsors would provide services or discounts to card-carrying students.

The idea of thousands of cardcarrying students is quite appealing to Public Services librarian Dan Amsan, because it represents the first step in implementing an automated circulation system that would speed up checkout procedures.

Ideally, checking out materials in the most up-to-date twentieth century libraries is somewhat like buying groceries at the supermarket. There, you select a variety of items and pass them to a clerk, who waves the bar code on each package over a scanner to obtain the pertinent information - price, name, and type of foodstuff, for instance.

Inside:

Auditions for the summer production of "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room," a melodrama with vaudeville breaks, are scheduled for June 6 and June 7 at 7 p.m. in the Palomar College Community Theatre.

The cast for "Ten Nights in a BarRoom," written by William W. Pratt, will include seven men and four women. No limit has been set on the number of vaudeville performers to be included in the program.

Interested persons do not have to be Palomar students at the time of the audition. However, all cast members will receive college credit for their contribution to the production.

"Ten Nights in a Bar-Room" is a story of ruin and redemption. During each intermission, the theatre will fill with the fun, laughter and song of a classic vaudeville production.

Rehearsals for the show start on July 5. Performance dates are August 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 and 14. The program will be directed by Palomar's theatre production manager, Pat Larmer.

Ellis to ~Havahart' relocating squirrels

By Larry Bouoolie They're cute, they're friendly and they're also responsible for what could amount to thousands of dollars in structural damage around campus.

Their scientific name is &iuridae tamia, better known as the common ground squirrel.

Due to their proliferating population, the squirrel community is wreaking havoc on structures and vegetation throughout the campus.

"Their concentration is so great in some areas, the ground is seriously undermined," says Mike Ellis, director of Buildings and Grounds.

Squirrel burrowing has caused structural damage to sidewalks and buildings as well as damage to athletic playing fields and vegetation.

"We tried to ignore the problem, but the grounds got so bad it can't be ignored anymore," says Ellis.

Particularly hard hit by the squirref invasion are the athletic fields, tennis courts and the Dome. In these areas undermining damage is clearly visible.

A sidewalk near the tennis courts is pitched and cracked due to squirrel burrowing beneath it. Eventually Ellis says the sidewalk will have to be removed.

A concrete slope below the racquetball courts is cracking due to undermining damage. The tennis courts are also showing signs of squirrel damage.

Ellis worries that squirrel holes on the athletic playing fields and around campus may cause serious injury to students.

"Someday, someone running will fall and break a leg," cites Ellis.

The squirrel population began booming several years ago when environmental concerns halted the campus practice of poisoning the rodents. Since then the lack of natural predators and the abundance of food have kept the creatures squirreling around on campus.

"Parts of campus look like a little prairie dog town," observes Ellis.

"They're cute, but where do YOlJ. draw

the line?"

To combat the problem, Buildings and Grounds is instigating a program of trapping and relocating the animals to an undeveloped area at the northeast corner of the school property.

Ken Green voted ASG president "I am going to try and represent Palomar on a greater scale," said Ken Green, Associated Student Government president-elect. "Not run the ship of state, but guide it where the senate wants it to go."

Green was one of six candidates who vied successfully for student government positions in the May 23 through 25 elections. When votes were tallied May 26, he ousted incumbent Mary Reynaga, taking 134 votes to Reynaga's 77.

Michelle Harding garnered the most votes overall, receiving 162 for vice president. She was the sole candidate running for the spot.

All four candidates running for senator were successful in their bids.

Geraldine Valdez took the most votes for senator, 142, followed by James Chambers with 104, Hadia HIU\i with 72 and Kevin Etienne with 63.

Because only four candidates were running for 10 senate seats, each needed only 25 percent of the ballots cast. A total of 220 qualified ballots were counted.

This was Reynaga's second loss in as many tries to be elected president, the first one occuring in the May, 1987 race. She gained the post after being appointed vice president and succeeding former president Shawn Clark when he resigned.

"I'm glad it's over," said Fred Tracey, election committee chairperson.

WORRYABOUT PON REGAN

Editor compiles farewell column

By Mary Hannify I sit here at my desk and trusty typewriter at The Telescope office trying to write my good-bye editorial for the year.

Procrastination, I believe, got the best of me for I have known that I was going to have to write this since the beginning of the year.

For me it's not that easy to write this piece because emotions have never been something I could show with ease. Yet the staff members with whom I have worked so closely, deserve some sort of accolade if not placed on a dais for all to see.

That may be going a bit overboard for some, but these staff members have not only put out a paper for students, they have all been working as one great team to achieve two awards at the annual Journalism Association of Community Colleges.

Each student has put in costly hours to put out a quality paper not just for themselves, but for the students.

What does it take to put out a paper together? First, the reporter needs to gather news and facts for a story. This sometimes can be the hardest part, especially when a fresh, new reporter is sent out to gather all the facts and that reporter has never done anything like this before. You hope and pray that he returns with some interesting and usable information.

Next is watching the same guy trying to write the story. If you think that writing a news story is easy, guess again. It's not like an English essay. The most important information leads the story, because that is what the reader will read first. It needs to catch the readers eye so they will read the whole story and not just pass it by.

After major errors have been weeded out, the story will be typeset in the 'Varityper', a computer in the Graphic Communitcations Department. Any errors in this area cause interdepartmental conflict. This happens mainly at the beginning ofthe year and at the end.

The story is then processed in a certain style forming the piece into columns.

Proofreading is the next step. Because we are not infallible, we make typing errors that are not caught until it has been processed like " TEH instead of THE." These errors are infrequent luckily.

After that process, a new galley proof is done and the production process is started.

First, we wax the back of the copies and then place them on a dummy sheet. Then we align and arrange articles for each page.

This is important, because just like writing the news story, you want the most important news on the front page and the notso-crucial news relegated elsewhere.

Now to make the paper look good-artwork. It's quite valid, because people like to look at pictures of something on the campus. Even photo pages enhance the look of the paper, because for those who weren't able to attend an event, they can at least see what the photographers saw.

When writing headlines the person has to capture in four to six words what it took the writer to say in 200 to 500 words. At th;.; point in time the journalism bible' comes into effect --the Thesaurus. It allows the writer to shorten such words like schedule to set which makes it easier to fit a little more into a limited amount of space.

The fmal step is called T-squaring.lt's one of the most tedious job there is. All of the stories, headlines, pictures, etc., must be straight on the page, nothing slanted to t.he right or left. No point or pictures shot..1d be sticking out of place in its appointed column.

Do all of this for two semesters every week and see how close you get with the people you are working with. At this time I'd like to take a few inches and run a mile to thank ¡an those die-hards who have been working countless hours.

YOU'RE OK IN

MYSOOK.

If there is anyone who I should begin with, it would be Tom Fitzpatrick. In t he midst of all my problems Tom has been like the rudder of the ship keeping me level-headed and at times being a verbal punching bag, so I can vent anger in a healt hy manner.

It's hard to be able to call someone a true friend, but he IS a true friend.

Larry Boisjolie would have to be next . He is the type who if it has to be done he will volunteer, even if it is a suicide mission.

Although I make fun of Larry, he is the only one who came in as a naive guy and turned out to be the newly-elected Editor-in-Chief for fall, 1988. Do well Larry. Make me proud.

Maddy Rolan is the next die-hard on the staff. She came in not intending to write, but to typeset stories. She co-wrot e one piece at the beginning of the fall semester and then decided to stay in the background.

Maddy also coordinates our outings like the beach, going out for pizza to unwind. This may sound frivolous to you, but without her this staff would go crazy not to mention hungry.

Fred 'Fini' Tracey has been with us for a while and has been a good friend to us all. He started off as an everyday reporter three semesters ago then graduated from that to being Entertainment Edit or and later working in the Public Information Office. Fred has written such st ories as changing AIDS policies and kept the students aware of the ever-beloved condom issue. Have fun in all your endeavors.

Marilynn Young is one of an all women photography staff. She has put in countless hours of taking photos of every different type of event on campus. After all of t hat she has to find time to develop the pictures.

Marilynn just started off to take a few photos.

Becky Adams. If there were awards given out she would receive the most improved award, because when she started four semesters ago her pictures had some good points but occasionally lacked subst anced.

Yet this year she has turned in great sports shots. One that I will always remember during football season allowed you to almost hear the helmets and shoulder pads crashing. It was great.

David Mounier is one of the few quiet guys in the group. Basically, all he does is work with the Sports Page and what he does is great. He captures the essence of what ever sport he writes about, making it interesting to the individual who is reading t he particular piece. Thanks David for all your hard work.

Robin Rauch, another person who is on the list of staffers, keeps herself ' moving constantly with work in the telecommunications field and her work with the print journalism. Robin this last semester was the assistant managing editor and really pulled her weight and sometimes everyone else's.

Now to all the other writers and photographers who have put in countless hours doing everything from A to Z, Kevin Adams, Teri Cane, Michele Anderson, Gregg Lawton, Trish Sanders, Anita Heading and Brad Cesmat.

The paper would not be complete without the Graphic Communications Depatrment so thanks Neil, Linda, Liz and Letty.

Last, but definitely not least, Mr. Fred Wilhelm, our fearless leader. He will always be there with a joke whether it is good or bad. Yet you couldn't imagine this quiet man without a sense of humor, be it good or bad. After 32 years of teaching, 20 of which have been here at Palomar, he has decided to retire and live a life of ease. He also said he didn't want to die with his boots on.

Mr. Wilhelm, we1l all miss you and wish you the best of luck in all your shananagins.

Now it's time to make this long st ory short. Good luck to all those aspiring to be journalists.

HUMOR

Student's responses keep clerks laughing

By Michelle Anderson

Something funny is going on around here.

Five departments at the college responded to a request for humorous anecdotes to share.

Regina Waack, counseling; Carol Stroecker, admissions and records; Joanne Mancini, transfer center; Kim Gibbs, women's center, and the Student Information Center gathered the following: Once in a while when the phone is answered "Counseling Department." the other end asks: "Is this counseling?"

Sometimes people will ask for the college phone number after they've called the college.

One time a student was asked, "Did you attend before the summer of '83?" The response was "I'm attending now."

During registration, students were asked to bring their license plate numbers. One st udent brought in his actual license plate.

Overheard in the Women's Center was a student saying he dropped out of class because he didn't like the way his teacher looked.

From Carol Stroecker in admissions and records: STUDENT: I returned my Summer Intent card and I didn't get my mail-in packet.

Why? Clerk: Let me check for you. (pause) (checks list which indicates that student DID NOT return card--so is NOT on the list to receive summer mail-in) We don't seem t o have you on the list; sir. Shall I enter you in summer?

STUDENT: YES ( Clerk goes and enters student for summer mail-in.)

Clerk: Here you are. This is your summer mail-in packet.

STUDENT: But I don't want to go in t he summer. I just wanted to make sure t hat I'm on the list for fall.

Clerk:( resisting urge to strangle student) Well, now I have to take you out of"summer" because if you don't attend after saying you are going to, you may not be on the fall mailing list. Shall I take you out of summer and enter you in fall?

STUDENT: Yes. I wish you people would get your act together.

Clerk: (smiling through clenched teeth) See you in the fall.

STUDENT; I'm pregnant, and I have to drop my classes. What shall I do?

Clerk: Take our "Birthing" cl ass.

Student: Where can I find the swimming instructor?

Clerk: Have you tried the swimming pool?

Mail-in registrations have an eligibility . line that shows those classes for which students are eligible. One student honestly wrote under his English 102 eligibility line: FAILED. The Student Information Center received a message on the phone's answering machine. When their call was returned, they said they forgot why they had called.

A person, while filling out a "for sale" card, said, "Does it matter what I say?"

Then there was the time when a man and his wife were visiting campus. The man looked at the clerk very seriously and asked, "Do adults go here?"

UCSD study needs diabetes patients Students with diabetes can receive free treatment by participating in a study currently being conducted at the University of California, San Diego.

Participants·in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial will receive medical care for their diabetes and detailed evaluations of the eyes, kidneys and nerves. In addition, diabetes supplies will be provided for the duration of the study.

UCSD is one of 28 medical centers throughout the United States and Canada participating in the medical study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. The 5-10 year study is designed to determine if differences in blood glucose control have an effect upon the occurrence and/ or progression of the long term complications associated with diabetes. Experimenters say the study will have an impact on the lives of millions of people with diabetes.

Cancers caught early for students during health event Over 100 students participated and received information on cancer prevention during Cancer Awareness Day, May 18. The event was sponsored by the Student Health Services and the American Cancer Society.

Dr. Jay Grossman, a dermatologist, was on hand for skin cancer screening.

56 students were screened. Of those, four were found to have precancerous growths due to sun exposure; and three were found to have basal cell cancer, which can be successfully treated.

Dr, Junia Wadia, a dentist, did oral cancer screening. A total of 35 students were screened for oral cancer.

One student was found to have a precancerous condition.

"Early detection and treatment are our best defense against the life threatening aspects of cancer," according to Connie Netzley, R.N., Health Educator for Student Health Services.

"Know the seven warning signs: ( 1) change in bowel or bladder habits, (2) a sore that does not heal, (3) unusual bleeding or discharge, (4) a thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere, (5) indigestion or difficulty swallowing, (6) change in a wart or mole, (7) nagging cough or hoarseness."

Fourteen hundred and fifty individuals with Type I diabetes will be selected to participate in this trial.

Once an individual has completed the screening process and been found eligible, he/she will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups.

If assigned to the standard treatment group, the individual will continue taking 1-2 insulin il\jections per day, monitor urine glucose several times per day and return to the DCCT clinic for evaluation every 3 months.

The goal in the standard treatment group is to keep individuals free of symptoms of either low or high blood sugar while maintaining high quality health practices.

Assignment to the experimental treatment group will involve 3-4 insulin injections per day, blood glucose monitoring several times each day and clinic evaluations every month. The goal in the experimental 1 group is to keep the blood glucose levels within a specified range.

Recruitment for the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial is nearing completion. However, additional participants are still needed. In order to be eligible to begin the screening process, an individual must be between the ages of 13 and 39, have insulin dependent diabetes for less than five years, and be taking no more than two insulin il\jections per day.

If you meet the above criteria and are interested in making an appointment to get further information regarding this study, you may call UCSD's Clinical Research Facility at 534-5463.

The automated circulation system, together with the magnetized Discount Card, would work the same in that each card would have a scannable bar code, just like the soup, sugar, and Alphabits at the local store.

But the new circulation system is still in the planning stages at Palomar, even though similar systems have been in existence well over a decade.

Arnsan believes that this is partly due to the comparatively small circulation of this library compared to many large California university and county library networks.

But there's also a question of priorities.

"I think it's more important to have a good collection than to worry about making students sign their name (when checking out a book)," Arnsan asserted.

Checking out books with the wave of the student's Discount Card is still at least a year away because the expense for the circulation system - anywhere from $75,000 to $200,000 -- is not going to be in this summer's annual school budget.

Students who go for the $10 Discount Card charge will be entitled to a potpourri of two-for-ones and other savings at local businesses.

"There will be discounts on everything from haircuts to tire balancing.

That includes pizza, fast food, clothing, and automotive services," said Green. $40,000 of funding money for the card has been applied for, said Green.

If that money comes through, there should be other uses for the card, like saving time at the Bookstore by automatically calling up the books each student needs for their courses.

Also, EOPS hopes to computerize its tutorial system and include the card when processing new students.

-EOPS is hot on this idea," grinned Green, "because it saves them a lot of paperwork"

Pageant winner realizes rewards

By Kevin Adams

Picture yourself on the dais, flowers cradled in your arms, a diamond crown on your head, and all those wonderful people "out there in the dark" applauding, cheering, loving.

True, the image grows sharper if you happen to be female, and sharper still if you've ever been thrust onto a stage to perform before an exp ect ant audience. Sweat appears on your palms, your breath becomes uneven, and all those encouragements of family and friends suddenly lose t heir reassurance.

Shyness has been a struggle for one Palomar student who has recently enjoyed or suffered through all the above.

Joanne Jennings is Miss Escondido, 1988. While most Palomar students were busy studying for midterms t he last two weeks of March, Jennings was also preparing for that strange enduring ritual--the American beauty pageant.

At the first meeting of the contestants "I was nervous because everyone was looking at everyone else. Seeing who was pretty, who was t his, who was that," Jennings admits. "But once they got to know each other, everybody was so down to earth."

The Escondido pageant is the first in the line of events that lead to the nationally televised Miss Universe pageant. Unlike the Miss America pageant, these mostly use interviews and on-stage questions to determine the winners.

The pre-pageant interview was like the first foot up a glass staircase. The next step was the first eliminations.

Each step more fragile than the one before, requiring more poise, more cool, more nerve. For Jennings, overcoming shyness and self-dou bt seemed to be t he steepest step to climb.

Going into the interview she tried to calm herself. "I didn't want to be so nervous that the judges weren't

microphone out in front of you," Jennings explains.

But it is not just the desire to be more outgoing that motivates her.

Career planning is in the back of Miss Escondido's mind.

Her title is an invitation to many community events with a whole royal court of bankers, politicians, salesmen even reporters. She's already been to a restaurant opening and a business community mixer, and will be involved steadily through Escondido's 1988 centennial year events.

Jennings takes in a confident breath and explains that one never knows where meeting the right kind of people can take you. She's certainly doing that if the number of Mercedes and Jaguars outside that last mixer she attended is any indication.

"I've had to drop a few of my dance classes. But it's worth it. I would hate to think that I was so stressed out (with classes and work) that I couldn't enjoy (winning) the pageant."

actually going to be able to see the kind of person I was." Often, the cruelest aspect of interviews is not knowing how well you did. Jennings left feeling she did poorly.

As she recalls memories of the big event, Jennings sets her teeth and draws breath between them. She pauses as if gathering emotional steam, and then releases a wordstream to tell her feelings. It was both nervousness and excitement. It was regret at not performing better, or anger at omission of a smarter answer.

Perhaps what pleased the judges was something Jennings had before she walked on stage. Overcoming the anxiety performers feel takes emotional support. In Jennings' case that help comes from both family and friends.

In fact, it was her mother, perhaps spying an opportunity for a healthy challenge, who suggested the idea of entering her first beauty pageant -Miss Teen California. Her mother got the idea from an advertisement in a local magazine three years ago. While not winning that one, it seems to have given the daughter a taste for more.

When this year's pageant neared, her close friend tried to convince Jennings to take the challenge again.

"Nancy told me, 'Oh, I think you should do it, I think you should do it.' I was like--1 don't know. But I got an application."

Once in the race, Jennings didn't have to look far to get support. A picture that appeared in the TimesAdvocate before the pageant showed her and her mother putting the final touches on the evening gown she would wear to victory.

With any victory, there are rewards.

With a look of child-like amazement, the young Jennings recalls the warm feelings from the audience applause.

At home, there is applause of a dilferent kind, but not enough to disrupt the status quo. The novelty of

having quasi-royalty in the home didn't last more than a night for Jennings. At first, there was a lot of excitement in the household about the victory, she admits. But since then she's found that, "It hasn't changed the

way my family's treated me."

What does seem to have changed is the importance Jennings now sees in nourishing self-confidence. "You have to overcome your shyness because (someone) might just put a

Jennings is taking General Education classes at Palomar, but hopes to transfer to UC Irvine and major in some field related to nutrition. It takes little prodding to get her to reveal her longer term goal. Now with a surprising absence of shyness, she asserts that owning a health club has long been a dream for her.

Health is a recurring theme with Jennings. It ties in with her past as well as her future. She has been dancing "on and oft" for 12 years.

Dancing she sees as healthful both physically and emotionally.

"Dancing is a great way to express yourself. If you are a shy person especially, it allows you to escape from all that."

Perhaps it is success that conquers self-doubts, because now Jennings explains, in terms of a dance performance, what makes the inner struggle worthwhile.

"To have people appreciate it, and smile and clap, and really reward you for something you feel good about."

Joe Farrelly pointed at a diamond shape on the chalk board in Palomar's 8 a.m. computer class (CIS-10). "Now, when we get to G-1, who ya gonna call?," he asked, demonstrating a diagramming worksheet. "Ghostbusters!" a student blurted.

He can crack jokes when the world is still half asleep. How does he do it?

"Practice," he revealed. "Then there's the coffee," Farrelly continued. "My philosophy is: Education is more than just a one-way street.

'I expect that in the future, every student will be given or required to purchase a computer.'

The most success I've had--at least by looking at the grades-- is when students are given a chance and are encouraged to participate. If they feel like somebody's talking to them, they listen to what they're hearing, and if I'm just talking to the wall--they turn into a piece of furniture. This way, they're putting something out and getting something back" As a youngster, Joe Farrelly went to Pacific Beach Elementary School.

Later, he graduated from San Diego High. "Just barely," he jokes. After a couple years in construction , he enrolled in San Diego City College, at 20 years of age. He transferred to SDSU and obtained an industrial engineering degree.

He continued by working a s a systems analyst and computer programmer for NCR. "I worked in L.A-Whittier, Santa Fe Springs, Pico

Rivera. Lovely parts of Los Angeles!" he chuckled. Meanwhile he was enrolled in Graduate School at the University of Southern California.

He returned to San Diego and received a Master's Degree in Computer Science at SDSU. While studying, he worked as a computer operator on campus. He taught in the Engineering Department and Systems Analysis at SDSU. "Then I decided to take a summer off in Mexico," Farrelly mused. "That was when a friend told me about a job offer at Palomar. So I took a typewriter with me and sent my application in from Mazatlan." A month later he was interviewed and still remembers the trip up here. "All the flights were booked, so I had to take a 36 hour bus ride."

It was the end of the summer and Farrelly was 29 years old when he

began teaching at Palomar College. He has been teaching computer science here since 1971. He scratched his head in thought. "Geeze, if I would've joined the army, I'd be retiring right now!"

He continued, "I may stay at Palomar until I retire. That would be the best bet. Probably 10 or 15 more years. I'd like to build a little vacation leanto ... kind of like a shack, down in Mexico, for when I retire. Especially with three boys! Geeze!" he smiles. "111 tell them to grab a spear and go spearfishing."

Farrelly is the father of three young boys--Brendon, 7 years, Collin, 5 years, and Dustin,3 years. "But just one wife," he chuckles. "Her name is Patty."

As for his method of teaching? "I try to teach my classes, probably from my last memories of school myself, which was graduate school. And those graduate classes were usually small-10 to 12 students. They were really informal with a lot of discussion and interaction between the students and the instructor. I think some students are used to the more structured, formal, high school teacher who has everything to say and--'Hey, stop chewing that gum!' " Farrelly demonstrated.

"I think it's kind of a shock for students to have a less formal structure, but I find that students that participate seem to enjoy the class a lot more. As a student, they found, like at Graduate School for example, a student often times brings in experiences, ideas and thoughts and can think of better analogies than sometimes an instructor can.

JOE FARRELLY

Farrelly recalled, "I remember--Gee whiz--at San Diego State, you HAD to pick up the 'Daily Aztec' before you went to class so you had something to read! Some classes were just really

bad. You had to sit there and do your best just to stay awake! But most graduate classes are organized where everything is like a seminar. You'd better have something to say!"

Farrelly believes that in the near future we are going to see more and more computer aided instruction. He pointed out that, "It's so much easier for the computer to teach problem solving than the instructor...like computer learning games. We're finally beginning to see less resistance from the administration to purchase computer machines. We could've purchased an IBM-30 for about $40,000 to $45,000 around 1972. There was a great deal of resistance on the administration's part and a lack of technology in the way the students registered," Farrelly recalled.

"We had a very barbanc, primitive way of going about it--a hole punch card for each class--it was a very antiquated system considering where we were in the 70's. The new president, George Boggs, uses electronic mail extensively for memos and messages, so no longer does the president or vice president have to play telephone tag.

It eliminates ambiguities that go along with interoffice memos and it's really quick."

"The old administration was always: 'No, type up the memo, retype it again.

Oops! A mistake! Type it again. Grind up a typewriter and a couple of ribbons and a couple of reams of paper,' to finally get the memo just right. They'd hand carry it, and days would go by! If it was something important, sometimes the problem would've gone away by the time they addressed it."

"For example," Farrelly offered, "when (Highway) 78 was turned into a freeway, the state of California had

meetings about where to have the offramps, and nobody from Palomar attended. That's very inconvenient for the Palomar College student. A lot of the problem was lack of communication." He shook is his head. "I feel they really missed the boat on that one."

"I expect that in the future, every student will be given or will be required to purchase a computer. The first class they would take would be the computer literacy type course so they could use the word processing system for writing letters, typing

'The most success I've had is when students are given a chance and encouraged to participate.' speeches, preparing journalism articles and reports--business letters, and various electronics courses would be made available."

"People come to school to improve," Farrelly explained. ''To get skills.

That's what makes our country great.

The people, not the natural resources.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't guard our natural resources carefully, but the people in this country are what makes this nation great. The more skills they have, and the more tools they have, the more productive they are."

Farrelly concluded, "With every new wave of technology, you run into a lot of teachers who hang onto the old, traditional way of doing things. They take the tools away and say, 'No, do it this way. Do it the old style because that's how I learned how to do it.' It's a very backward, naive approach."

Wheelchair is no barrier for artist

By Larry Boi!dolie For Flor Kendall art is a family tradition.

Sculpting is a craft that has persisted four generations in Kendall's family. But there is one distinct difference between Kendall and her forefathers that preceded her, she's confined to a wheelchair.

In 1971, a car accident left Kendall paralyzed below the waist. But disability did not halt Kendall's artistic career, rather it inspired her to explore art more deeply.

Her attitude is jovial and her heavily accented English is peppered with flirts and laughs. Her wheelchair is maneuvered as effortlessly as her smile as she move through her apartment with flowing grace.

'I've been a painter since I was seven, but I consider myself more of a sculptor then a painter.'

Kendall, an immigrant from Mexico City, came to the United States 15 years ago, after marrying her second husband. She has been a student at Palomar since 1980.

"I'm a fossil at the college," jokes Kendall.

It was here six years ago that Kendall met her current husband, Duncan Kendall, who was a student of Graphic Communications at the

time.

In her eight years on campus, Kendall has delved into many facets of art. She has taken classes to improve her sculpting as well as courses in watercolor and acrylic painting.

"I've been painting since I was seven, but I consider myself more a sculptor than a painter," cites Kendall.

Even though sculpting can be a heavy physical work, Kendall was never discouraged from creating.

"One teacher didn't want to accept me in sculpture class because he didn't think I could handle it," said Kendall.

"I had to have a little help sometimes, but I had did well in the class."

As for the art curriculum at Palomar, Kendall believes most teachers are excellent, while others struggle to communicate concepts.

"I had one (painting) class that was strictly by the rules," said Kendall. "I wasn't. I don't think good art can have rules."

Kendall paints with an impressionistic style and has a particular love for Van Gogh, admiring his use of color and his expression of feeling.

Her ceramic and clay sculptures also fit an impressionistic style that Kendall says "mirror her feelings."

Some of Kendall's works have been displayed at museums in Mexico City and Guadal~ara Sometimes her work would be displayed at the same time as her father's work "My father said he would never want to compete with his children," Kendall

said. "Now we compete all the time."

Her father is presentlycommisioned

by Mexico to sculpt. His works can be found on permanent public display in Mexico City.

Kendall hopes to organize an exhibition to help broaden the awareness of children toward art. She is currently working on pieces to raise funds for schools in Guatemala

Kendall sees the family tradition of art spreading to her seven year old son. He has already taken up painting and his works can be found throughout the Kendall home.

Tiny plant nets Armstrong big prize

By Christine Whan

Did you know that Palomar has its very own Guinness Book of Records holder on campus?

His name is Wayne P. Armstrong. His world record is Wolffia, the smallest flowering plant in the world.

Armstrong teaches general biology, botany and another botanical course called Plant and Man. Armstrong claims that he just happened to be the person who brought Wolffia to the attention of the editor of the Guinness Book of Records, Norris McWhirter. When Armstrong noticed that the smallest flowering plant listed in the book was larger than the Wolffia he knew of, (Each being 5mm long, at least 5,000 Wolffia plants can fit inside a thimble) he decided to do something about it.

San Diego Natural History Society. His career is such a big part of his life that he rarely finds time to do anything else.

"Everything I do has to do with biology. With my writing, photography, and teaching, I don't really have time for anything else," says Armstrong.

Although being in the book of world's records is impressive by itself, Armstrong admits that Wolffia is just one of his interests. His main hobbies include writing and photography.

"Writing allows me to vent my enthusiasm and creativity beyond the classroom and contribute to my field."

Armstrong already has approximately eighty articles published about various biological subjects.

"Biology is such a difficult subject to teach because it's so complex," says Armstrong. "When I write about it, it's

down on paper for good."

Armstrong's articles have made him known world-wide by people in the field.

"I get letters from different professors around the world." Dr. Elias Landolt of the Geobotanical Institute in Zurich, Switzerland plans to use Armstrong's information about Wolffia in a monograph titled "Lemnaceae," including two volumes about the Lemnaceae duckweed family.

"When you write articles, you communicate to the world," Armstrong added.

Photography is yet another area in which he excels. Not only does he accompany each article with a photo, but he also had photos on the front covers of magazines such as Enmronment &Yuthwest.

"You may have the greatest photo in the world and nobody would know

'He's always so humorous and fastpaced. you never fall asleep in his class.'

After communicating back and forth with the Guinness Book of Records, Armstrong received a letter from the editor recognizing the mistake and giving Armstrong full credit for acknowledging the Wolffia in the 1982 United Kingdom edition. Armstrong is obviously proud of this letter, but wishes that he still had it.

But it was an ecologist at Cal. State, Dr. Richard Vogl, who motivated Armstrong the most.

"He especially inspired me," said Armstrong. "Ifl hadn't met him, I don't know if I'd be in biology right now."

"I had all my notes and letters stolen out of my car one day," he sighed. "I was going to frame that letter."

Armstrong's record is also in the current American editions of the Guinness book Armstrong lives in Escondido with his calico cat, Callie. He claims that Callie is a strange but great companion. However, Armstrong would much rather share his litter box with a twolegged female rather than a fourlegged feline. One of his favorite pastimes is sitting in coffee shops thinking about life, watching people and simply relaxing.

Armstrong belongs to the Sierra Club, the Native Plant Society, the California Botanical Society, and the

unless you get it published," says Armstrong. "I got a letter from a dermatologist at U.C. Berkeley who wanted to use a few of my photos of poison oak I've also had National Geographic calling me lately. They want to use some of my Wolffia photographs."

Armstrong uses his photographic skills as a teaching aid as well.

"I have thousands of slides," said Armstrong. "It really enhances my teaching. It just helps everything fit together. It also helps to prevent burnout because it gives me more incentive to teach. I get to travel and explore a lot and I like that."

So, where do they breed such enthusiastic teachers as Armstrong?

He was born and raised in the Pasadena-Arcadia area He also spent quite a bit of time hiking and exploring the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains. He attended Mt. San Antonio Junior College and then transferred to Cal State LA, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in botany and a Masters in biology.

Armstrong stresses how important teachers are. "I had a really great botany teacher at Mt. SAC who inspired me."

to keep up with him."

Part of that humor comes out when he wears little rubber finger protectors for writing on the chalkboard, which gives rise to many jokes in the class.

"I'm sick of chalkboards," Armstrong laughed. "I just had the doctor take a big chunk out of my finger the other day. Now it's all swollen and painful.

I talked to the school board about it.

Hopefully those new white boards will be installed pretty soon. They're great because you use felt pens instead of chalk Next thing you know I'll die of ink inhalation." He's paranoid that he's getting some kind of skin disease from all that chalk dust. "Whatever it is, I probably already have it."

Armstrong offers a piece of advice, "l!.'verything is so complex in life. You must stick to one thing and zero in on it to become an expert in your field.

'Everything I do has to do with biology with my writing, photography and teaching, I don't have time for anything else!'

You can't spread yourself too thin because there's just too much to know.

You've got to get published."

If there was a message he could send That is just the kind of satisfaction out to everyone he says: "I wish that Armstrong gets from teaching.

"I get so excited. I just get goose everyone had more appreciation for bumps all over," he smiled. "Maybe I've the beauty and complexity of life and inspired some young budding our natural environment. We need to protect it and take better care of it." scientist."

In Armstrong's 22 years teaching Armstrong concludes: "I'd like to be here, there's no doubt that he has thought of as someone they (students) indeed inspired many. Biology student can relate to.

Photographer focuses on her future

By Anita Heading

"It's a high. It's a rush, and 111 never get over it." That is what 27 year old Abigail Kurtz Mahoney says about photography. She is a woman of the 80's who has strong family ties, her eye on the future and dreams to fulfill.

To her friends and acquaintances she is better known as "Abby." She has been busy pursuing a photography ml\ior along with her AA Degree which she looks forward to receiving this June.

Since she is not a native Californian, how did she come to California and how did she choose photography .a s her ml\ior?

'My parents never allowed television in our house. We had books. We drew and read.

"Well, ever since I was fairly young, I've always wanted to come to California. For a non-Californian there's a real mystique attached to California.

When you're young, it's part of the surf craze and that sort of thing. When I got older, I read a lot of literature by California writers, . . . talked to everybody I could who had been there and who was from California.

"In high school I became more interested in going to school out here, because the public school system in California is great .. . and it was free then. It's not free anymore, but for what you get, the caliber of education is high and very affordable. Ivy League schools are really expensive, so that was a consideration too."

So, in 1979 she and a girlfriend headed for California. They first stayed in Los Angeles for two very long months, but she admits that for two country girls LA was overwhelming.

It forced them to grow up quickly.

When they decided to visit her girlfriend's relatives in Escondido, they ultimately planned to move to San Diego. After their visit to the rural, homey community of Escondido, they found it more to their liking and soon found a studio apartment and jobs and made Escondido their home.

Mahoney, who admits to being a country girl, reminisces about her childhood on a farm. "Yes, I was raised on a farm. My father is a physician and worked with Parke Davis, the pharmaceutical company in Ann Arbor. But back in the 60's it was very chic to have .. ., we called it a 'farmlet,' because it was small.

"My mother is a country person too, so they wanted to get back to nature .... We had a little four and a half acre 'farmlet,' with sheep, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. It was an incredible experience for my younger sister and me - - an idyllic childhood experience. It was great because we really had the best of everything. We lived in a small town, Dexter, outside Ann Arbor, and we went to a small school."

"It was sort of expected that I go to college right after high school, but I said, 'Folks, I'm just not ready now to spend your money, and I'm not sure what I want to do. I want to take a couple of years off now to work and see California.' They were incredibly understanding about that. They never pressured me and let me do my own thing.

"So, as a result, I've done it pretty much on my own which is the way I wanted it. I've worked my way through school waitressing which is not easy work" Mahoney expresses great pride when she talks about her siblings. "I have two older half sisters from my mother's first marriage. Tony Beth lives in Kansas City with her husband and daughter, Eliza. She teaches drama at the University of Kansas . . . She's getting ready to go back for her masters in drama at Columbia in New York City.

"My other sister, Patty, lives in New York City and is doing incredibly well and making pots of money. She's a commPrcial television producer for

really learned the basics of photography with this and did a great deal of her own processing and developing at home.

When she got into high school in Michigan, she was fortunate to fmd that it had a very good photography program. And that brings us to Mahoney's decision to head for California.

When she moved to Escondido, she joined the "Photo Darkroom" there and entered several competitions in which she did very well. She confides, "I had this idea that I knew all there was to know about photography, and when I started at Palomar I was just taking academics. I heard that the department was good here, but I thought, 'Ahh no, I don't need to study photography.'

"But I heard more and more about it and then I heard it was one of the best around, the department here. So, in '85 or so, I took Photo 50. I was so impressed by the department, and as I studied with each instructor, I found that it was so well rounded . .. . I feel I've got the best education photographically that I could get anywhere."

DEAN ALSO TEACHES

Being the Dean of Humanities has many responsibilities that require a lot of time, while the duties of a college instructor takes much devotion and a will to help students learn.

Dean Gene Jackson is an example of someone who successfully does both.

He was first motivated into education because of the rewarding environment he felt it provided. He tried working as a technical writer, but decided that teaching was the road he should take.

While attending college Jackson went to the University of Idaho, to Paris, France for a year, and then came to San Diego State to receive his B.A. in English. He obtained his masters at Clairemont Graduate School.

Jackson is married and has four children. While they were growing up all of them attended public schools in France and Mexico as well as the United States, and therefore got a broad view of different educational practices. Jackson felt this was a positive experience for all of them.

Jackson arrived at Palomar in 1965.

Before coming, his most recent job had been at the College of Sequoias. Over the past 23 years Jackson has had many types of positions. To name a few, he taught -reading and English, the first multi-cultural studies class on

campus, and for eight years was the Dean of Student Affairs.

While in that position, Jackson started the children's child care center on campus. This was an excellent advantage for parents who wanted to attend college and have their children in a safe place close by.

In 1979 Jackson was appointed to his current position as the Dean of Humanities. While head of the humanities division, Jackson has seen the Palomar College Community Theater

open, wrote the first EOPS program on campus, and made many administrative decisions that are required in his area.

Even with an administrative position, Dean Jackson still finds time to teach an English class during the fall and spring semesters. "It gives me a perspective of what needs to go on (student interests, teachers' problems) and helps with some administrative decisions."

Jackson is very pleased with the computer center in the library that Jay Alperson has headed and is glad the humanities department has been able to contribute funds to the area.

He also talks highly of the top rated art, dance, music, and drama departments that Palomar now has.

Bike riding is a long time interest of his. He has taught a bike class through the P.E. department in the past and for 18 years rode his own bike 12 miles each way to and from Palomar.

GENE JACKSON

She met Geoffry Mahoney through his brother Casey, who was the manager at the fish house where she works. He is one of four brothers and is of Irish/Indian descent. They have known each other for the past five years.

'It's a rush and I'll never get over it.

Mahoney's eyes light up when she is discussing her husband. "He is a topnotch carpenter who takes great pride in his work. What he would really love to do, is build custom homes, because quality is really important to him."

"There are times," Mahoney confesses, "that I would like to curl up on the couch and watch PBS with him at night, but I can't because I have to spot prints or read Plato for English."

And four nights a week she doesn't even see her husband because she is working at Fish House Vera Cruz in Oceanside. She has worked there for the past seven years, but feels a change is coming on.

The change she is hoping for is a nice long trip with her husband to Alaska or perhaps back to Bl\ia where they spent their honeymoon. They would like to incorporate again their love ofthe out-of-doors and salt water fishing with their love for each other.

Then they plan to settle down to work, family and a home of their own.

photographers because, she reasoned, not everyone seeing Bravura would be photographers, and she wanted the prints to appeal to everyone.

An important and critical concern was to find prints that could be reproduced well by the graphics department. Unfortunately, they had to eliminate many good prints. It wasn't an easy job, especially with Mahoney's busy schedule, but she says she's glad she did it.

Mahoney confesses that it has sometimes been a real struggle trying to balance school, work and a new marriage. "This has been an incredibly hard year."

Something Jackson is looking forward to is the computerization of the foreign language lab. It will be designed to give students a more oneon-one instruction that is so important in learning a new language.

Jackson is a man dedicated to excellence in education. "Once you get into teaching because you like it, it is really hard to get it out of your bloorl It is a very satisfying experience."

Norwegian seeks 'real education' here

By Maggie Grong

"Hvordan gikk det?"

The person asking the question is sitting at a table outside the cafeteria, and the question is meant for a person heading for this particular table.

A total of ten persons are sitting here, none of whom ·a re Americans.

Gunnar A Bendigtsen has picked up a chair from inside the cafeteria The table was too crowded.

"Nine months ago I first set my feet in California Actually, it seems like years since I left home." Bendigtsen is looking for something in his nonAmerican, all-leather back-pack. He finally locates the lighter and lights his cigarette. Another sign that might indicate that this person is not an American?

"A lot of Americans don't realize we're foreigners until they've talked to us for a while." Bendigtsen tears off a piece of the coffee cap. "Helps keep the coffee warm without having to take the cap on and off," he explains.

"You see, after having had English for nine years in school it becomes almost like a second language to us."

He puts out his cigarette and leans back in the chair, his hands behind his head. He smiles. "But we do stumble and stutter every now and then.NobodysperfecL" People are starting to leave the table to go to their classes.

"I don't know why, but somehow Americans seem to know perfectly well where Sweden. is located. But when it comes to Norway, theyre not so sure anymore.

"Norway is located in the northern part of Europe, west of Sweden. We

GUNNAR BENDIGTSEN border to Russia, Finland, and: Sweden."

Bendigtsen starts laughing when asked about the cultural differences between Norway and the United States. "Where do you want me to start?

"It seems like most Americans want to do as much as possible in as short a time as possible, and they don't want to miss out on anything." He moves

the chair ih order to rest his feet on the bench, and continues. "Americans are always in a hurry. It sometimes seems as if they want to get their lives over with as soon as possible: "Another thing is the drive-through phenomenon. In a brochure about California I remember reading that Americans even had drive-through funerals! So far I haven't seen any of tho~e, but it seems to me there are drive-throughs for almost anything here.

"Some Americans have asked me about what kind of food we eat, what kind of clothes the Norwegians wear and that kind of thing. But the answers aren't really all that facinating. We eat the same kind of food as the Americans, except that we don't eat as much fast food, or rather junk food. And of course we have our food specialties, like, for example, 'geit-ost'."

Bendigtsen takes a sip of his coffee.

"Directly translated this means goat-cheese, and it is of course made from goat milk. As far as I know this is a product made in Norway only."

He smiles and adds quickly: "And it tastes delicious. I actually brought a few pieces with me from Norway."

When reminded about the clothing issue he continues speaking.

"The Norwegians actually dress very much the same as the Americans.

Because we have a colder climate we have to wear more sweaters and stuff, but generally it is the same style."

Gunnar Bendigtsen is the oldest of three children, all of whom are true Norwegians. Last January, when his sister had her first child, he became the uncle of "the greatest little guy in this world!" Bendigtsen and his brother are the only members of their family living in California. Their parents and sister are all living back

Cesmat called 'human sports pad'

By Rick Grlfftth

Brad, the human sports pad.

What's a human sports pad?

A six-foot-eight sports nut called Brad Cesmat.

He was tagged with the unusual nickname by Keith Bennett, sports director at KVSD Radio in Vista.

Cesmat came by the name honestly.

He's a walking sports encyclopedia who has worked at the local station as a newscaster since early 1987.

He lives for sports. You can hear his "Athletic Briefs" on Palomar's KKSM radio station. You hear his newscasts and sports coverage on KVSD AM 1000. You might even find him doing play-by-play action in front of a silent TV screen.

No doubt you've read his sports

stories in The Telesrope.

Cesmat is a man driven by sports. "I devote at least three to four hours a day to keeping my sports notes in order and up to date."

Outwardly he seems a happy-golucky sort of guy, but inside he's as serious as a grand slam.

"I'll go home after working all night at KVSD, get a few hours sleep, then get up and watch two or three baseball games."

He stresses the importance of knowing current sports events inside and out.

"I must spend a couple of hundred dollars a month on newspapers just to stay on top of things."

Known by his friends as 'The Human Sports Pad,' Cesmat did his first playby-play action as a young boy on his

BRAD CESMAT

familys ranch in Valley Center.

"At home I would turn the volume down on the TV and do my own playby-play."

His broadcasting career started at the ripe old age of fifteen. In his earlier years Cesmat worked the Escondido High School football games over the public address system, then hooked up with Captain Video on cable TV doing Orange Glen games for five years.

"Then I came to Palomar, and it's been great. I think the person who has had the greatest impact on my life is Russ Jackson (radio professor extraordinaire)."

A Palomar instructor, Jackson is well known in the San Diego radio market for his expertise in shaping young radio broadcasters. Through Jackson, Cesmat has learned the allimportant mechanics of radio broadcasting.

Why doesn't he play ball himself?

He did. The "Sports Pad" played AllAmerican basketball for two years in high school.

"I did get a scholarship, I was offered a lot of money, but then they found out I had a bum wheel."

That's sports lingo for a bad ankle.

"It turned out for the best because I wound up at Palomar in the Radio Department."

Though sports seemingly is his life, he has other priorities. First comes God, then the girl he loves. Sports comes in a very close third. Honesty and truthfulness are deeply ingrained in all the above, something the tall one attributes to his mother.

A healthy glow comes to his face when he speaks of the woman in his life. Chris, his high school sweetheart, can talk sports with the best of them.

"I see myself getting married sometime within the next year."

Yes, when the future Cesmats go out on a date, it's almost always to a sporting event.

No, he won't be doing play-by-pl ~ y at his wedding.

Well. .. maybe not.

in Norway, "and just waiti.n,g for us to come home again."'

Bendigtsen had lived in Norway all his life, until last July. He had gone through different schools and jobs, but all of a sudden he decided it was about time to get himself a "real" education.

He chose California as his destination, since his brother, who had been studying at Palomar, recommended this college. At the age of 25 Bendigtsen is now working on his Bachelors Degree in Management. This is his second semester at Palomar, and next semester he is transferring to SDSU. "My future plans?" Bendigtsen stops to think for a few seconds. He takes his feet off the bench, leans forward and places his palms on the edge of the table.

"If everything goes the way I've planned I'll be done with my degree in another two years." He smiles, as if he's not sure whether he should continue.

"I don't like to say this, because it might sound as if I'm just taking advantage of the American education system." He sits back in his chair. "But I'll say it anyway." He smiles and looks down at his fingers playing with the empty coffee cup.

"It's not that I don't like it here.

Actually, I'm having a great time here

in California But I wouldn't want to live here for the rest of my life." He rests his feet on the bench again. "I guess the best explantion is that home is where the heart is. I mean, I have most of my friends and my family back there, and after having been so close to all the crazy things happening in California, I feel it's a lot safer back home." The cafeteria is starting to get crowded again. The 10 am. Tuesday classes are obviously over.

One final question for this Norwegian student. What will he be doing five years from today?

He laughs. "That's a hard question.

I can give you an answer, but it'll be just as much a dream as a plan.

"I'll have a job that I can grow in, within marketing or management.

Maybe I'll be married by then, and have a little son or daughter. And I'll have no homework!" He looks at his watch and wakes up from his "dream."

"I know one thing for sure though.

I'll have a bunch of great memories from my student days in California!"

Gunnar Bendigtsen is one of 96 foreign students at Palomar College, and three of them are from Norway.

The first sentence in this article, "Hvordan gikk det?" is in Norwegian.

Translated into English it means: "How did you do on your test?"

SDSU plans fall agenda Approximately 180 sections of classes are planned for the fall, 1988 semester at San Diego State UniversitYs North County campus in San Marcos. Students may still apply for admission for the fall semester.

Academic planning and cooperative efforts between Palomar and SDSU have created programs to meet the academic needs of North County students and allow for a smooth transition from Palomar to SDSU, North County.

Students completing their general

education requirements and I or preparation for their major during the spring or summer may still apply for admission to SDSU, North County.

In addition to the extensive course offerings planned for the fall semester, SDSU, North County has expanded student services as well. Testing, academic advising, health services, a bookstore, lectures, student organizations, library services, concerts and student activities have all been expanded to provide more of everything for the North County student.

Cheyney leads fight for classified staff

By Fred Tracey

Tilly Cheyney has seen it all.

As president of the classified staff union, the Council of Classified Employees/ American Federation of Teachers, Cheyney has had to deal with problems that sometimes went home with her. But now, as her term comes to an end, Cheyney can reflect back on those problems and see the good that came out of them.

Cheyney, 42, has been employed by Palomar for 22 years. She can remember back to the days when miniskirts caused a rage on campus that sent administrators to see the receptionist in the president's office to see how actually far up the mini-skirt went.

But when the mini-skirt went out, Cheyney did not. After serving a stint as a student employee, after obtaining her AA and four certificates, Cheyney worked as a department secretary in the physical education and business education departments. She then served as the administrative secretary and finally the executive assistant to former president Dr. Fred Huber.

It was while she was the administrative assistant in business services that Palomar went to office automation. A former business manager named Cheyney information systems analyst, the position she now holds within the data processing department.

Cheyney became active in the various campus committees and the classified union. But with marriage in 1975, she withdrew from her activism to devote time to her husband and to raise a family. In 1980, her husband, Hal, died. An instructor in the Life Sciences Department, he was about to go on sabbatical.

Cheyney describes her husband as a dedicated instructor and a leader in the Life Sciences Department. She

Department's annual President's Concert, dedicated to the graduating class.

Schiff will be featured in the Scottish Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra by Max Bruch. While not as well known as Bruch's violin concerto, the Scottish Fantasy is a show piece for the violinist.

Schiff last appearance here was in 1986 when she performed the Tchaikovsky Viloin Concerto. Also on the program will be the Palomar Chorale performing selections from "Showboat." And if one soloist isn't enough, the winners of the Music Teachers Association of San Diego Concerto Competition will be featured.

Each soloist will perform one movement each from their winning concerto. The winners include Kenny Park, piano; Allison Farrow, viola; and Cheryl Norman, violin. They will perform works of Kabalevsky, J.C. Bach and Mendelssohn.

ZINA SCHIFF

had to talk him into taking his sabbatical. He was concerned about who was going to teach his students.

Perhaps some of her husband's philosophies implanted a sense of dedication in her. The year her husband died was the year she got back involved in the campus beyond her normal work responsibilities. She had thought about quitting (her third consideration), but friends talked her into staying.

Cheyney had led the fight to get the classified employees a salary increase.

The negotiations brought on much dissatisifaction from the classified staff. Ill feelings towards college management prevailed during the year before the district granted a pay raise earlier this year.

During the negotiating process, Cheyney had to stick up for what she thought was right, even if that meant telling the Governing Board how life really is at Palomar-that the classified staff are the lowest paid employees in San Diego County, among colleges and school districts.

"They (the district) ask their employees to accept certain responsibilities with low pay, but they still say 'we'll take care of you,' " Cheyney said. "The issue of salaries has never changed since I've been here."

When the new slate of union officers take their office in June, Cheyney will serve as grievance officer. She sees this role as sort of a counselor and as a way to look out for the interest of the classified staff.

"I think the classified employees are worth the time. It is a benefit for me to work for the staff. I'm going to try and ease out to a regular on line employee," Cheyney said.

If and when Cheyney can return to her normal employee status, she'll have more time to spend with her two children. But odds are that she won't be able to leave her work in the union totally. As she puts it, "It's a matter of survival."

Library hours revealed Summer operating hours for the library will be in effect beginning June 16 until the start of the fall semester, when normal hours will resume.

Women's tennis squad finishes second in state

By Brad Cesmat

Consistency is one thing, but frustration is another.

For the Palomar women's tennis team, finishing second in the junior college state tennis champio.n ships for the second straight year probably brings a little of the latter.

The Comets had their two doubles team advance as far as the semifinals.

However, Palomar fell on hard times when both teams lost their matches.

As a result, the Comets finished second with five points behind defending state champion Orange Coast, which had eight.

Palomar also fmished second to Orange Coast last year at the state championships.

Palomar Coach Nan Haugen wasn't dismayed by her team's effort. "Orange Coast is always tough and they had the No. 1 rated player in the state in singles, so they were tough anyway.

By Robin Rauch

Following a mid-season loss, the Comets ran off another 11 straight wins, and finished the regular season by nabbing 10 of their last 13 starts, including five in a row to finish ahead of the field.

The power-laden Comet hitting attack was led by outfielder Bill Dunckel, who, as the fourth leading junior college batter in the state with a 460 average in conference play, saw action in 37 regular season games.

Close behind was infielder Ron Howard, who posted a .380 average, followed by T.J. Flynn, .356; Manuel Mobley, .327; Rick Afenir, .322; Tino Lozano, .306 and Clint Cruz, .302.

Strong pitching was the mainstay of the Comets' pennant drive, as the mound corps produced 29 wins, led

by Ray Chatton, with an earned run average of 1.82, second best in the state, and a 10-2 record in the league's regular season statistics.

Mark Ringkamp, with a 10-6 winloss record notched a 2.29 earned run average in conference play, while Bill Painter picked up three wins, one loss and four saves. John Lane hurled two wins, as did Mark Mata.

"I was happy that the doubles teams did as well as they did and how far they went. They played well, but the two teams that won were extremely strong."

.I n conference play, the Comets collected 280 hits, out of 843 times at bat, good for a .322 team batting average. Over-all, Vetter's team went to bat 1321 times, banged out 408 hits and a team average of .308.

The Comets' third-seeded team of Monse Noboa and Kelly Vanderlip lost their semi-final match to Orange Coast and the fourth seeded team of Chris Jose and Patty Cornelius dropped a decision to Saddleback.

Palomar's conference pitching allowed 64 runs in 217 innings, and an earned run average of 2.65. Overall, the Comets mound staff pitched 339 2/ 3 innings, allowed 128 runs and a 3.39 earned run average.

Howard announces transfer to San Jose

By Brad Cesmat

After finishing up the baseball season on the field last week now comes the time when players go on to four-year schools or into the professional ranks.

Shortstop Ron Howard has announced that he will continue his playing days at San Jose State.

Howard was a main cog in the Comets' recently completed 29-13 season, where the Comets finished in the top eight in the California State Community College Tournament.

he plays for the Spartans. Howard will be moved to second base, where he feels his future is.

Howard graduated from Vista High School as an outstanding baseball and basketball player and attended United States International University before coming to Palomar to play for Bob Vetter.

Although Howard has signed to attend San Jose, he may not get there.

He's expected to be drafted in the annual professional draft in June, and at the age of 21, he may opt to go to the pro ranks. "Since I did just turn 21, I'm going to have to do it soon."

Stats explain baseball pennant Women cagers

By David Mounier

An outstanding season came to an end for Palomar's baseball team at the Southern California regionals in Santa Ana May 20, where they fell to Rancho Santiago, the state's No. 1 team, 9-0 in the championship bracket.

In the opening round of the regionals, the Comets were nipped in 10 innings 14-13 by Los Angeles Harbor.

Second round action found Palomar outlasting Oxnard, 6-5 in ten innings, then routing Los Angeles Harbor 122, to reach the championship game against Rancho Santiago.

Of the loss to Rancho Santiago, Coach Bob Vetter praised his team, observing, "This team has nothing to be ashamed of," adding, "we had an excellent tournament, and I am not disappointed at all."

Vetter pointed out that "Rancho Santiago is a fine team, and if you are going to get knocked off, it might as well be by the State's No. 1 team."

Vetter confessed that the two games his charges played on Saturday

against Oxnard and Harbor to reach the championship game "Were very intense games, and the heat took a lot out of us."

The Comets, although trailing Rancho Santiago by only 3-0 after five innings, had their hopes dashed when the Dons broke through for six runs in the sixth to put the game out of reach.

Mark Ringkamp opened against the Dons, being relieved by Bill Painter, who held Rancho Santiago in check the rest of the way.

Ron Howard doubled, while Clint Cruz, Rick Afenir, T.J. Flynn and Roger Conway each singled once.

After the first round loss to Harbor, Palomar came back to eliminate Oxnard in second round action, behind the timely hitting of Bill Dunckel, who tripled and singled twice to drive in three runs.

Ray Chatton went the distance against Oxnard, coughing up 10 hits and striking out four in posting his tenth win of the season.

With the score tied after nine

innings, Palomar won the game in the tenth when Tino Lozano singled to left, to chase Cruz home with the winning run. Cruz had reached first as a hit batter, and was sacrificed along by Afenir.

In their second meeting with Harbor, the Comets wasted little time in polishing off the Seahawks behind the five hit pitching effort of John Lane and Mark Mata, who notched his third win of the season.

Palomar scored six times in the first inning, added five more in the fifth and one more in the seventh, as they pounded out 14 hits.

Mike Simmons had a big day at the plate, pounding out a homerun, to go with a double and two singles and three runs batted in. In their first encounter with Harbor, Dunckel contributed with a homerun, double and a pair of singles, producing three runs.

Looking ahead to next season Vetter indicated that he will have most of his pitching staff back, along with mainstays, Simmons, Dunckel and Cruz.

reappear in fall

Following a one-year absence, women's basketball will reappear at Palomar this fall.

The new women's team will compete against Pacific Coast Conference teams and against other challenging teams outside the PCC. Jon Cnossen, Jr., men's tennis coach for 10 years and former assistant coach of the men's basketball team, has been selected head coach for the new women's team.

Chris Hill will be the assistant coach.

She is a former assistant coach at Mesa College in San Diego.

"In addition to offering our female students a new arena where they can learn about teamwork and discipline," Cnossen said, "involvement on the team will enhance a participating student's record, thus increasing her chances of transferring successfully to a four-year college or university."

For more information about the new women's basketball team, call Jon Cnossen, Jr., Ext. 2484.

For the second time in three years, the softball team has taken second place in the State Championship Tournament.

The Comets gave up the state championship in a 1-0 loss to Sacramento during the state finals at Chabot College May 22.

Eight teams from Northern and Southern California competed in the three-day tournament in Hayward, California. The Comets had to win five playoff games to make it to the state fmals.

After beating Santa Monica 17-0 May 11, and then beating El Camino twice May 1, the Comets were able to advance to the state tournament in Hayward.

On May 20, the first day of the tournament, the team got off on the wrong foot by losing to San Joaquin Delta 1-0 in 12 innings.

But they came back in the next two days to win three straight, earning themselves a spot in the finals.

They beat Mesa 5-2, then took Saddleback 1-0, and finally came back to defeat San Joaquin Delta 2-0.

They would have had to beat Sacramento twice to take the state title, but they lost in the first meeting and had to settle for second place.

Kim Schott, Malia Faumuina, Karrie Schott and Karin Yehling were named to the all-tournament team. Faumuina was named tournament MVP. In addition to taking second on the state level, the Comets were this year's champions of the Pacific Coast Conference. In their last 11 years of play, the team has won the conference title eight times and placed second the remaining three seasons. This year they end the season with an impressive 25-8-1 overall record.

leadership Development' is scheduled I

Methods by which a manager organizes time, relates with employees and visualizes the future are often the ultimate key to the success of an organization.

Because of this, leadership styles and techniques have been studied and, in recent years, viewed much like an art form.

To help future and present managers develop the valuable leadership skills they need to compete today, Palomar College is offering a new class starting this summer called "Leadership Development" (Supervision 98).

The class will meet on Monday and Wednesday from 6:30p.m. to 9:20p.m. starting August 27 and ending August 22.

The class, taught by Paul Sargent, will examine some of the more popular methods used by successful directors. Group dynamics, motivation, employee evaluation techniques, problem solving, decision making and communication will also be explored.

In addition, the course will focus on personal productivity skills for managers. The student will learn a systematic way to establish goals, organize work, and identify and modify "nonproductive" behaviors.

"Leadership Development" is a three unit course.

For further information on registration, call the Admissions Office at Ext. 2160.
