Two newcomers elected to Board Members face new challenges Newcomers Ben Echeverria and Harvey Williamson will join incumbent Barbara Hughes and other members of the Governing Board in a year that promises to be challenging and filled with major issues. Voters elected the two new members and Hughes to the Board in elections held Nov. 8. The other members of the Governing Board, Ralph Forquera and Dr. Roberty Dougherty, still have two years remaining on their terms. The two members leaving the board, Leon Baradat and Mary Burke Trotta, will serve the residents of the district for the last time on Tuesday, Nov. 22. The next four years will see the new Governing Board taking on major issues. Here's a look at some of those issues that the board will be facing:

(left to right) Incumbent Barbara Hughes and newcomers Harvey Williamson and Ben Echeverria are the three who were voted to seats on Palomar's Governing Board. • The board will find itself taking on new responsibilities if AB 1725, the community college reform bill, is passed by voters. The bill redefines the mission of community colleges and changes the way colleges receive its funding. • Finding a place to park at Palomar College will be even more difficult if
enrollment continues to rise. Parking became a campaign issue, but no visible solution is in sight. The Governor recently signed legislation allowing colleges to raise its parking fees to a maximum of $40 a
Incumbent Barbara Hughes and two newcomers were elected to Palomar's Governing Board in elections last week. Joining Hughes will be Harvey Williamson and Ben Echeverria. All three will be sworn into office on Sat., Dec. 3 at a special organizational meeting of the board at Quails Inn in San Marcos. Hughes came in with the highest number of votes, 105,878. Williamson received 63,080 votes and Echeverria received 49,566. The election dealt another defeat to Clyde Romney, who ran un-successfuly for Fifth District Supervisor in 1986. Romney served as chairman of the north county Republican campaign effort. Romney came in last with 46,893 votes. Also defeated was Mark Palid who received 49,050, coming in fourth place behind Echeverria. On election night, Palid had led Echeverria for the third spot. At 11 p.m. on Nov. 8, Echeverria passed Palid and eventually to victory in this low-keyed campaign. "People are satisfied with how things are," Hughes said. "I'm thrilled to be elected and I'm looking forward to doing it again."

La Porta: nevv blood to old foundation By Kevin Adams

Vet enrollment increase expected By Robert Santiago Staff Contributor Judy Duncan, coordinator of Palomar College's Veteran's Education department, says that she expects to see an increase of veteran students attending Palomar College within the next year. In a recent interview, Duncan credited this increase to the new G.I. bill, otherwise known as the Montgomery Bill. "Right after the Vietnam War we had an average of 4,000 veteran students at Palomar College," Duncan said. "Now we have about 400." In the post-Vietnam years, veteran enrollments comprised 25 percent of Palomar College's student body. In more recent times, vets have made up as little as 2 percent of the total student body. Duncan insists, however, that as a result of the Montgomery Bill, that figure could return to at least 10 percent of the overall enrollment. The Montgomery Bill is the latest educational assistance program which the government has
Bringing new blood to an old body can be as much the job of a fundraiser as a surgeon. And who's to say which of the two professionals do the more vital work? Without surgeons the world wouldn't have heart transplants, but without fundraisers the world would be short a good variety of universities, culture centers, and thousands of worthwhile charities. It is the enthusiasm and pride that comes from understanding the importance of her fundraising work that sets apart Esther La Porta, the new Palomar Development Foundation executive director. The Foundation was formed in 1959 as a fundraising organization made up of prominent community people with an interest in the success of Palomar College.
devised to boost enlistment into the Armed Forces. With the rise in educational costs, .many young Americans have viewed entering the service as another means of paying for their college education. Mary Tennant, evening supervisor at the Veteran's Education Department and Duncan's assistant, stated, "Of all the other programs in use right now, the Montgomery Bill allows veterans more benefits than any other." The Veteran's Education Department now must adjust some of its procedures and become familiar with the new bill, as well as maintaining the records of those personnel still under the older programs. Most recipients of assistance are of the Vietnam era (old G.I: bill.). Other programs include V.E.AP.

But for most of its history, said La Porta, the foundation was a passive organization. La Porta has been director of the Foundation since January of this year. "I saw my job as to get new blood into the Foundation board," explained La Porta. "My role was to get the board revved up." In the early years, the Foundation raised funds to assist in construction of the Wallace Pool and the Arboretum. La Porta feels that those projects were a valuable contribution to the college, but now the new director wonders where those donors are. One of the problems with the Foundation, as La Porta sees it, is lack of continuity. She couldn't find the record of donors and contributors for those two foundation projects and had to start anew making contacts. "You can't keep starting and stopping in building a foundation," stressed La Porta, adding that there is an absolute need to make and keep contacts with those affluent or hard-working people who give to the college. La Porta has become a student of fundraising science. The work of Jerolds Panas, author of"Mega Gifts: Who Gives Them, Who Gets Them" is La Porta's guide in the world of attracting money from those who can afford to give it. Panas interviewed 32 men and women who were generous or crazy enough to give $1 million to a philanthropic cause. He also surveyed 1,000 fundraising executives with the question "what motivated your $1 million donors to give?" Using the answers he got, Panas compiled a lengthy list of (see LAPORTA- page 2)

Staff Writer Long and hard hours have paid off for Hadia Haaj, and all the students that put together the fashion show, which took place on Wednesday, Nov. 2, at the Student Union. Haaj decided to continue the Palomar fashion show tradition when she volunteered for the job early in the semester. "Everyone told me it was a big responsibility, and a lot of hard work, but I really wanted to do it," Haaj said. An ASG Senator, with a busy school schedule, Haaj gave up all her free time for the fashion show. The models, were volunteering Palomar students, who all but a few exceptions, didn't have modeling
experience behind them. For two months, Haaj and the student models worked extensively on poise, posture, walking, and the art of being a successful fashion model. "We used magazines and other sources to perfect our style," Haaj stated. "It felt like I didn't have a life for those two months." Of course, Haaj did not work alone. Without the help of friends like Mohammed Al-Muzanini, Sharon Grether, and other volunteers, there would not even have been a fashion show. Haaj also stresses that without the donations from clothing stores, the theater department, flower shops, and many other contributors, the fashion show would not have been the same. The professionalism of the show depended on these items.

Williamson, who came in second, was surprised by his showing in the race. He is president of San Marcos National Bank and lives in Vista. "I can't explain it," Williamson said. "I feel thrilled that I won. I'm looking forward with anticipation of serving. "I have no personal agenda right now. I feel that Dr. Boggs, the current board and the administration have been doing a fme job." Echeverria is an attorney from Rancho Bernardo. He said that he would like to go to work right away in bringing a second campus along the I-15 corridor. During the campaign, Echeverria said that a possible site might be the empty Allstate building in Rancho Bernardo.

This could be a solution to the parking problem, but will students want to pay more for parking? • Construction of the new San Diego State campus in San Marcos begins next year. Eventually, SDSU North will offer upper division courses. If the state university system decides to sever ties between the new north county campus and SDSUs main campus, San Marcos State University could become a possibility sooner than expected. The state university chancellor wants the new campus to become totally seperated by 1992. The proposal has brought criticism from people who say that if the new north county campus becomes totally independent, its credentials will not be as good as if it stayed with SDSU. • Members of the faculty will continue to call for higher salaries. At a recent Governing Board meeting, Dr. Joe Stanford, associate professor in the Mu sic department, reported to t he board and administ ration t hat teachers in Valley Center earn higher salaries t h an do teachers at Palomar College.

Demand an education This is the dawning of your life, whether you are just out of high school or re-entering school for retraining. You rightfully expect t he finest education available. But, are you paying too great of a price because of misguided management? There was a time when I was proud to be a faculty member of Palomar College. It was an institution with one main objective: to provide you, the student, with the best education possible. I look at our successful graduates and rejoice in those past years. Your faculty was one of the highest paid in the state community college system and they did one thing, and did it well; teach! But, due to administrative decisions, your faculty is now one of the lower paid faculties in the system and many have taken on second jobs to make ends meet. This, of course, diverts their full thrust away from your education. In the last ten years, your faculty has suffered an inexcusable 30% loss of income in relationship to cost of living increases. Many fme teachers have resigned and taken jobs elsewhere. It is appalling to realize that the teachers you entrust your career training to, receive less pay than the Kindergarten teacher in Carlsbad with the same years experience. What price do you pay during your lifetime for this decision? To be able to study effectively, you need a healthy and adequate lunch. If you were in grammar school, your parents could buy you a hot, well balanced meal for $1.25. But, now, when you are on your own, trying to work, go to school, and make ends meet, it costs you more to buy a meal at Palomar College than the same meal at a private deli downtown. Ask yourself why you should pay more to the college cafeteria, who claims to make no profit, than to the private deli which is run by a company making a profit? Ask yourself how an institution serving meals to a base of 21,000 people, and charging a full price, can make no profit? Where does the money go? How do we expect to learn management if we are mismanaging here at the training grounds? Why do the snack machines at Palomar College cost more than the exact same machines, with the same snacks, at the Best Western complex on the beach at Santa Barbara? The college is to help develop your skills in responsibility and organization. Yet you observe the lack of responsibility of your college in keping a clean environment for you; drying lawns, overgrown weeds, dirty campus, filthy restrooms, lack of soap to wash your hands before eating or studying; buildings with peeling paint that should have been painted years ago; broken air conditioners in rooms with no windows; clogged rain gutters. You, the students, are the constituency of this college. You must speak out. You must research the truth for yourself; it affects you, your training, your habits of education, your life. Get involved. Ask questions. Demand answers. If you are dissatisfied, write letters to the governing board of the college, to President George Boggs, to your politicians, and even to the State Community College System. Demand an institution and an education equal to what your predecessors had when they were students here. Don't be shortchanged by shortsighted administrators. Require accountability of your instructors and of the administration and other support personnel who are here for one reason only; to serve you! Your dollars pay the salaries, you are in charge. The staff on campus works for you, and if you are not satisfied with what your employees are doing for you, request their improvement or resignation. Tom Young
Bleachers ignored I was most surprised to read your article in the September 30, edition of The Telescope entitled ''Trophies go unnoticed." Last semester, the Associated Student Government assigned fun ds to purchase a trophy case to be located in the Student Union. Unless my eyes deceive me, that case is now installed. I should also like to address Mr. Woods' concerns about the condemned bleachers. Once again, the ASG allocated approximately $20,000, to have these bleachers repaired. To dat e we have been unable to ascertain from the administration what has become of these funds. The ASG has done its best with the funds it has available to try and remedy some of the pr oblems with which the P.E. Department is faced. It is very disturbing to me that the administration does not seem to pay a ny attention to the decisions we make on how to allocate t he budget resou rces available to us.

Dan Quayle: anchovy topping political pizza We've spent months selecting the toppings and kneeding the dough, but alas, the political pizza is finally baked. As with most pizzas made for large groups of people, there are toppings that not everyone likes. We've got plenty of George Bush pepperonis, lots of democratic congressmen mushrooms, tons of gooey ballot initiative cheese and of course Dan Quayle anchovies. Maybe it isn't fair comparing Dan Quayle to an anchovy, but face it, neither one is well liked. It is also true that most people who don't like anchovies have never tried them. Most anchovy haters won't try the salty little fish because they just don't look savory. Most Quayle haters developed their sour taste from the dish the press has created. The Vice President-Elect has received an entourage of bad press since his nomination for the position. It started the day after his nomination at the Republican national convention when it was alleged that he joined the National Guard to avoid the draft. Since then Quayle has been badgered about his lack of experience and speaking ability. Quayle has been the brunt of many a galling joke and has even been accused of being a puppet for George Bush. Yet, the fact remains that the American people are stuck with him as a topping of our political pizza for at least the next four years. It's time the public took a bite out of the pizza pie and tasted it for what it's worth. Too many people don't like Quayle just because the press doesn't like him. They haven't developed a negative taste by themselves. During this year's political campaigns, the press has been like a demented chef slinging sauce in any direction where the greatest mess would be incurred. Quayle, with his rich family and lack of experience became an open target for the sauce, not because he deserved it, but because he was easiest to hit. Quayle should not be judged on how messy the p ress has made him. He should be judged
OFF THE CUFF Larry Boisjolie on his performance during his upcoming term. This is not going to be such a n easy task because no matter how objectively Dan Quayle is viewed, he will still be covered with sauce already flung. As Vice Pr esident, he will be more of a target than he was as a cand idate. The press has every r ight to pick on a political candidate. A public official is subject to almost any criticism the press can flin g at him. But the press sometimes has so much fun flicking sauce, that it forgets t he reason why the privelege is extended. The ability to criticize is one of the many factors in the nation's system of checks and balances. It lets the public know where its leaders stand in a critical a nd informative manner. Used constructively, fair comment and criticism can be a great asset in the enlightenment of the American people. In the case of Dan Quayle, criticism is used for criticism's sake and not for the p urpose of information. Perhaps the new Vic e Presid e n t -elect deserves all the bad press he is getting, but that remains to be seen. Americans should wipe the sauce from t heir eyes and taste the political pizza on their own. Granted, most people tend to pick off the toppings they don't like, but who can really say they don't like the anchovies unless they t ry them .

T rombonist brings youth to symphony Freelance musician lands principal position By Fred Tracey Managing Editor
One day last January, Heather Buchman thought she would audition for the San Diego Symphony just for the experience. Being this was to be her first professional audition for an orchestra, the experience of an audition might help her in the future. Buchman didn't expect to get a place in the orchestra, and above all else, she didn't expect to be named to the principal trombone position. Now, 23 -year-old Buchman doesn't have to look too far in the future for employment opportunities. The symphony named Buchman principal trombone and she assumed her new post July 12. "I was in shock," Buchman said after hearing the news on her appointment. "It's exciting and an incredible opportunity for me to have a job like this so soon in my career." Buchman was at Palomar recently performing for the Music department's Concert Hour. Her program featured solo trombone pieces. Before arriving in San Diego, Buchman had been studying and freelancing in the San Francisco area. She describes her freelance jobs as "crucial experience" in getting her current position with the San Diego Symphony. After her appointment to the symphony, Buchman had been told of the financial situation of the symphony. The symphony organization is on the rebound after fmancial collapse three seasons ago. "I was appraised of the (fmancial) situation by the executive director," Buchman said. "But I wasn't worried
about it because I didn't have a job before coming to San Diego. "In one second, I was on the outside of the fence looking in . Now, I'm on the inside looking out." On musical matters, Buchman supervises how the trombone section and the tuba player will play in consultation with the conductor. It's up to her to decide the style of performance with other brass section leaders of the orchestra. While the other members of Buchman's section are older and more experienced, her fellow musicians are supportive, Buchman says. A native of Ohio, Buchman took up the trombone in the fifth grade. "I had braces at the time," she said. "The band director needed either a flute player or a trombone player. My first choice was flute, but there were too many of them already in the band." Buchman went on to earn a Bachelor of Music degree and a Performer's Certificate from the prestigious Eastman School of Music in New York. In July, Buchman placed second out of 18 in the International Trombone Competition in Brisbane, Australia. She hopes to continue competing and to give recitals while playing in the symphony. Performing in orchestras can be a "rarifying experience," Buchman said. She concedes that her job is not as stressful as it might be in an orchestra more prominent than the San Diego Symphony. "This is a crucial landmark for any would-be professional musician. It was an amazing experience (being appointed principal trombone). I'll never forget it."

AT BOEHM GALLERY
Artist dravvs novice's attention
(Photo by Mark Hopkins)
This self-portrait of artist Gillian Theobald is one of many works presently displayed in the Boehm Gallery.
I am not a student of art, especially gallery art. I don't pretend to understand the concepts of art and I can't tell the difference between a Picasso and a Van Gogh. Why, then, have I chosen to write about the current exhibit at Palomar's own Boehm Gallery? Principally because I didn't feel that I needed to be schooled in the theories of the great masters. What I did encounter was an exhibit easily understandable and yet comprehensive in the conceptions of the artist, Gillian Theobald. Theobald's "Paintings and Drawings," which opened at the gallery on Oct. 27, runs through Dec. 1. Boehm Gallery always has one intriguing element in its displays (upside down American flags is one that I'll always remember). For this exhibit, visitors are drawn to a series of self-portraits that the artist has done since 1982. I was attracted to a set of the self-portraits meant to interpret the artists' bad feelings and words directed to people in her life. Fire, red and striking, mixed with smoke, spew from the eyes, mouth and brain of Theobald. Questioning Theobald about these portraits, she said that they represent a "bad period in her life." This is clearly evident. Self-portraits done more recently were drawn by the artist while meditating. Theobald's eyes were closed while she worked. For the true conservationist, the exhibit also includes a series of paintings called "Cut Trees." The inspiration and motivation in these black and
Fred Tracey Managing Editor white paintings took place outside of Theobald's own bedroom window. She writes in a narrative to the exhibit that trees are important to her in the urban environment she resides in. When the last tree outside her bedroom was cut down, the artist went to work expressing herself on canvas. Theobald is collecting a respectable list of credits for showings around San Diego and Los Angeles. Some of her works will be shown in New York sometime early next year. About 200 people attended Theobald's opening at the Boehm Gallery on Oct. 27. Among those who came were a number of San Diego artists; the director of the Cirrus Gallery in Los Angeles, where Theobald exhibits some of her works; the gallery director from San Diego State University; a critic from the San Diego Union and several Palomar students and staff.

Beatlemania hits library By Tamra Goulart Staff Writer
Palomar College presents: The Beatles ... or at least the next best thing. For those of you who never saw the fab four perform, or even if you did, the Beatles memorabilia now on display in the library will help you capture the fanatical feeling of the times. Fan Kelly Weston has been collecting Beatles memorabilia for seven years. Although most fans collect records and magazines, she likes memorabilia. The display
~Heart'
captures her Beatles passion, featuring such items as the Beatles board game, lunch boxes, dolls, scarves, pins and much more. Weston saves every paycheck to buy more memorabilia for the collection. The conglomeration is valued at $10,000 and growing. She also collects Monkees memorabilia as a side hobby. Two years ago, Weston displayed her collection on campus, but couldn't fit it all in the library cases. Now, she's back with different memorabilia and the rest
of her collection. In an article in The San Marcos Courier, Weston stated that although she has had some troubles collecting rare items, such as the Beatles record player, she has more trouble convincing people that she's a true fan . "A lot of people criticize second generation fans," she says. "But the true testimony is everybody likes them, and will continue liking them." Weston's Beatles memorabilia will be on display throughout November in the library.
good, but lacks vvarmth
"Clara's Heart" is a well-made film. The performances are good and even strong in places. The directing is smooth and professional. The cinematography and the locations chosen for the film are pleasing. The Honda HR214 is a well-made lawn mower. It's quiet. It's easy to start and the grass catcher is easy to remove when emptying. While both of these things are professionally constructed and smooth running, neither of them generates a great deal of warmth- a defmite plus for the Honda, but not for "Clara's Heart." In "Clara's Heart," Whoopi Goldberg plays a Jamaican housekeeper hired by an estranged, wealthy young couple after the death of their baby daughter. The housekeeper, Clara, is cooly received by the father (played by Michael Ontkean in a less than rousing performance) and is met with open hostility by the couple's surviving child, a 12-yearold boy played by Neil Patrick Harris). This is Harris' first film role. His character has some pretty tough and emotional scenes and I give him credit for playing them pretty well. My only complaint with him is that he has given into the trendy notion that you can't make it in show business these days without two names. You either have to have one (Tiffany, Sade, Cher, etc.), or three (Terence Trent D'Arby, Anthony Michael Hall, etc.). It's not like there's already a Neil Harris out there with whom he will be confused unless he uses Patrick Although I guess using all three is better than just calling yourself "Neil." The film centers around the relationship between Clara and the boy and how they grew-up together while the parents grow apart. Believing in this relationship is essential in accepting the action of this film. I found it hard to see how these two extremely different people were able to develop a deep affection for each other. It would seem that to transcend the housekeeper, rich-kid relationship the two of them would need to spend a lot of time enjoying each other in the midst of the parents' divorce. As it happens, their own relationship is so turbulent I sometimes didn't see how the boy could feel so close to this woman. At the heart of the turbulence, is Clara's dark secret. A secret that receives so much build-up in the film she would have to turn out to be the messiah to satisfy the audience's expectations. The meaning of "Rosebud" didn't get this much buildup. We don't fmd out what the horrible dark spot is in this woman's life until the last half-hour of
Jeff Tuttle Film Critic the film. By that point, it's too little too late to justify the amount of trouble it has caused between the two main characters and the dark tone it has given the film. There are two large chunks of the mystery left unexplained and we are not given enough information even to make a reasonable guess as to the significance of certain things. I feel they would have had a much stronger film if they had left this subplot out entirely and focused more on the natural growth of the relationship between the boy and the housekeeper. This is a film you want to feel good about, people crossing cultural economic boundaries to help one another on a very personal level. But somehow you just don't get attached to these people. I said the film was smooth. Maybe it's too smooth. The actors seem to be doing a good job, but their performances don't have any rough edges to latch on and identify with. I noticed the same thing with the sets. While the locations are beautiful and very well photographed, the places in which these characters live are not very warm. I mean these people don't have any knick-knacks, nothing laying around that gives us any insight into them. Their houses look like model houses built for new neighborhoods. Even Clara's inner-city apartment has an antiseptic feel to it. It's depressing to be left feeling chilled by a film that's supposed to be warm and emotional. Especially when the film seems to succeed in many important areas. But with its successes and overall acting and directing strength, "Clara's Heart" definitely lacks the energy and humanity needed to draw these individual components together into the touching portrayal it is billed as. I'll see you in a couple of weeks; right now I have to go mow the lawn.

THE SERIES
New TV show like a bad dream By Jonathan Young Staff Writer/Production Manager
When the dull and neverending saga of Friday the 13th (parts I- VII) was made into a television series, viewers were shocked with an interesting and different show. Its success is obvious now that it's starting another season. Fans of the Nightmare on Elm Street saga (parts I - IV) will also be shocked with its new version of a television series, Freddy's Nightmares. The shocker is that this series needs a lot of improvements if it is to last another season. Freddy Krueger, the main character, has brought success to the Nightmare movies. His style of terror and suspense are quite unique. Even Krueger's personality has been a main factor to the show's fame. However, the writers of the series are restricting the talents and cramping the style of actor Robert Englund, who plays Krueger. He's not scary anymore. There are some factors that are taken for granted with a show made for television -- no blood and guts. This may take a spark of terror out of Krueger, but not enough to gut his character. One main disappointment, which includes Krueger's lack of terror, is the length of each show. They are an hour
long. The problem is the writers don't develop the story with the given time. The first half hour of the show introduces the main characters, the supporting characters, gives a place and a hint of a conflict. It moves fast, giving the basic facts and not going into detail with the charcters or the plot. This half also gives a conclusion. But wait. What about the other half of the show? For the second half hour, the writers choose to keep the same characters, but change the conflict and sometimes the place. Occasionally, a new character will be introduced to accomodate the new conflict. This time set-up causes confusion and ill side effects. The viewers have to pay attention and concentrate. Not because they're afraid of what's going to happen or who's going to be the next victim. It's because they have to take the few given facts, analyze them, and figure out what's going on. Krueger's character is also hurt by this strange timing. It doesn't give him enough time to grab the viewer's attention and pull them into the story. This, in effect, portrays Krueger as a whimp. The writers need to make a decision. Are they going to have two good, seperate shows in that time slot? Or, are they
going to write something comprehensive and interesting for the full hour. The writers further their problems by continuing to tear down Krueger. They take away his horror, they take away his time, and in return they give him stupid lines. "Stupid" may seem a childish term, but those are the type of lines that Krueger gets. Again, Krueger's personality has given him fame. His personality was created by his opportunities to talk. He's trademarked as saying, "Sweet dreams ... I'll see you in your worst nightmare." If he says stupid things, he looses his personality. Without his personality, he will loose his fame. All three of these strikes against Freddy will put him out of business. Not to be totally negative, the new series does have potential. The scene is set in Springwood, home of Elm Street. If half the show isn't set in Springwood, the characters somehow are linked to the town. This keeps the series related to the movies. And, of course, the show deals with nightmares. What would Freddy Krueger be without nightmares?
The writers of the movies have had unique ideas of dreams. Dreams can give endless plots and story content. The writers of the series still need to utilize this opportunity to create and develop plots that give credit to the movies, and Krueger. The writers of this series defmitely need to make a lot of improvements. If not, Freddy's Nightmares will become a dream of the past.

It helps keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp.

Daugherty credits team Duffy Daugherty, the Comets' 63, 204-pound quarterback, never walked his way onto the field with his nose in the air and a cocky smile when it was his turn to drive the ball down field. He does it with a very confident trot, knowing what he has to do and what has to be done. With intensity in his eyes, he scans the field left to right, gets the snap from the center, steps back a few feet, sets himself, cocks his arm and lets the ball fly with the greatest of ease. With his style of play, he is a big part of the reason the Comets go head-to-head with Southwestern College this Saturday for a chance to advance to the Hall of Fame Bowl December 3. Daugherty had very successful years at Orange Glen High School as a quarterback and moved on over to New Mexico to attend school. But after a year there he headed back west, due to the fact the football coach had asked him to red shirt his first year. "I had better things to do instead of watching," said Daugherty, who had intentions to play the sport he loves. "It really worked out well for me, coming here to Palomar individually," added Daugherty. This has been a season any quarterback would love to have. Yet Daugherty and the rest of the Comets still have a huge task to accomplish, and that is the game against Southwestern. With a stomping 58-6 win over the Grossmont Griffens this past Saturday, Daugherty passed for 307 yards, just one of the many times he did so this season. In the game against the Griffens, Daugherty broke a Mission Conference record. He is now the all time single season record holder in
Ernie Martinez Sports Columnist total yards passing. Another milestone he reached was the all time single season passer for Palomar. To Daugherty, Grossmont was just another game he and the rest of the Comets had to win, and to do the best he could. As the result, the Comets did more then enough. "I would be a liar if said I don't like the fact that I broke the records, but team sincerity comes first out there for us, because that what makes us win," said a widely grinning Daugherty. A quarterback dosn't make a team, and that is why Daugherty credits his teammates. "I thank the guys on the line who make it so easy for me to get rid of the ball. They give me the time I need. Without them it would be really tough." When asked if there has been any one person who Daugherty credits this season, as far as helping him, he said, "Coach (Tom) Craft is tremendous. He is an excellant coach with the players. He doesn't downgrade us, I can't say enough about him." As far as Daugherty is concerned he is ready to move on to a bigger college, but that won't be until later in December when the college recruiters come out and start looking for the young talent that Palomar crops.
The Comet footballers have lead the Southern Division of the Mission conference with a division record of 3-0 and have an overall record of 4-5-1. The Comets face Southwestern College, Saturday, in an attempt to capture the division title. The winner of the bout will host the National Football Conference Hall of Fame Bowl in Balboa Stadium. Southwestern is tied with the Comets in division action. In recent playvs Mt. SAC, running back Sean Davis (above) is snagged by a defender. In the same game, wide receiver Scott Carlovsky (right) struggles against an opponent.

Grids crunch Grossmont By Larry Boi!ijolie Editor-in-Chief In their handiest win of the season, the Comet footballers put the crunch on Grossmont College with a 58-6 victory last Saturday. The win propelled the team into the final bout for the Southern Division title. "If we can keep improving on the offensive line and defense, we have a very legitimate shot at the division title," said Head Coach Tom Craft. The victory over Grossmont improves Palomar's overall record to 4-5-1 and elevates their undefeated streak in division action to 3-0. Presently the Comets are neck and neck with Sout hwestern College in division standings. The two teams will face off on Saturday at Southwestern to decide the division champion. The winner of the game will host the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame

Bowl, to be held in Balboa Stadium Dec. 3. In the Grossmont game, quarterback Duffy Daugherty strengthened his reputation as the number one JC passer by completing 25 of 41 passes. Daugherty, who passed for 373 yards and five touchdowns, left the game after the first half of play with a 42-0 lead. Daugherty was backed up with dynamic play by receivers Matt Fiorello, Scott Weedman and Scott Carlovsky. Fiorello caught three passes for 96 yards including a touchdown on a 26 yard pass. Weedman scored twice with receptions from 39 and six yards. He caught six passes for 114 yards. Carlovsky received nine throws for 99 yards and scored twice with passes of 15 and four yards. Good defensive play by Shawn Forristall and Brett Smith helped to keep Grossmont at bay. The Comet victory punched Grossmont down to an overall record of2-7 and a division record of 1-2. The win occurred on Craft's 35th birthday.

tenets for the would-be fundraiser. Panas comes up with a healthy serving of common sense that delves into the mind state of the wealthy do-gooder. There is not enough space to fairly represent his views here, but here is a sample of Pana's advice: • Recognize that individuals give emotionally, not cerebally. "They do not give to needs. They give to dreams and dazzlling visions." • Ml\ior donors experience a "spiritual sensation" from their giving, not necessarily religious, but rather a sense of righteousness. • An appropriate expression of appreciation is important. Find ways to thank a ml\ior donor seven times for a gift. La Porta combined Pana's advice with her own 10 years of fundraising experience and came up with four ways she sees as most successful for raising funds: visiting people personally, trying to attract wills, getting people involved in special events, and through direct mail. "The most difficult thing is to ask somebody for money," said La Porta. The problem is the 'hucksterism' image of fundraisers. The sort of people, grinned La Porta, that leave town with the money the night after the fundraiser. To improve the visibility and create a positive image for the Foundation, La Porta and the new board are sponsoring the musical "Drood" to run March 10-12 and 16-19. Plans for more events remain unsettled, but she would also like to see a gala event of some kind for the coming spring term. La Porta's efforts are spurred by a quest for the illusive donation dollar. That quest is made more urgent considering the comparative trickle of state funds community colleges get in comparison
to UC schools. Community colleges are portioned out about $2,700 a student compared to $13,000 doled out at UC universities. To help take up the slack in funding, La Porta has set the notso-modest goal of raising the foundation fund to $1 million. Seem high? Not really. A similar foundation at Santa Monica City College has been raising an average of that much every year, said La Porta. Speaking at a recent press conference for The Telescope, La Porta presented the plan she
thinks will climb that mountaintop. No one can say her resume is lacking in experience. She's spent 10 years on the donation dollar quest, working for high schools, the UCSD Foundation, and KPBS. And she's no stranger to teacher's needs, having spent three yeaars in a classroom herself. The new director describes herself as a shy person, but La Porta doesn't consider that an unsurmountable liability. To do the work she does, explained La Porta, really just takes 'the common touch'.

recipient under the dependent's program, also pointed out that the Veterans Education department offers other services which often go unmentioned. The main function of the department is to act as a liaison between Palomar College, veteran students, and the Veterans Administration. There are other services provided by the department, such as rendering help to veteran students in planning their educational curriculums, monitoring their progress, offering monetary aid via the Veterans Administration, and recruiting students from other military installations. According to Duncan, their office has had to deal with many unusual requests for help, "from a father's complaint that his child had eaten his educational benefits check," she said, "to an enrollee's misconception that receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree would mean having to give up his marital status." Along with Duncan and Tennant, the Veteran's Education Department has five to 10 work-study students offering assistance.
