College bans Neo-99 promotion By Michelle Pollino Staff Writer
Citing a state law that prohibits school-sponsored activities involving alcohol, the administration last week canceled the campus radio station's sponsorship of a concert held at a local night club. On Nov. 27, KKSM planned to host the nostalgic rock band, The Mar Dels, at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Neo-99 D.J.'s were to introduce the band and play recorded music between the band.
"We worked so hard to make this a success," said Program Director Kevin Fry. "The most discouraging thing to me is how the rug was pulled from under our feet." The Neo-99 staff was informed of the cancellation five days before the concert was to be held. "As far as we were concerned, we were in the right because we had done this same type of promotion in the past," added Fry. KKS M sponsored three concerts last semester, all held at local night spots. The staff at KKSM feels that
these concerts help them get exposure, while increasing Palomar's involvement in the community. According to Dean of Vocational Education, LuAnn Poulsen, a complaint was received in the Student Services Office from a student who noticed a flyer announcing the concert. Communications Chairman Dana Hawkes was then notified. Hawkes determined that the activity was a violation of a state regulation prohibiting alcohol-related activities involving commu-
nity colleges in the state of California. "The intentions of those involved were very good, but the fact is it is a violation of the law," said Hawkes. "I don't think they (Neo99) were aware of this (law)." "What upsets our station is that they have left us in a position that lacks professionalism," said Promotions Director Carly Star. "I feel like we're back in high school instead of college. "It was a great opportunity for us," said Star. "It's very discourag-
ing, especially since the theme of that evening was sobriety." According to Star, the night club would be giving away free nonalcoholic beverages that night to encourage people not to drink. "We did public service announcements on the air about drinking and driving to go along with the theme of sobriety," said Star. "A lot of work was put into this promotion, I know all of us here at Neo-99 feel pretty upset," added Star. "I think that there was a total lack of communication."

Bags of recycleable waste paper sit on a delivery dock outside Palomar's Graphic Communications Department.
Palomar college does not have a centralized recycling program, but according to Mike Reid, head of Administration Data Processing and Information Services, "If the different districts work out a waste management system there is money to be made on this campus." Other schools in the state report that recycling makes fiscal sense. Foothill Community College, a neighbor of Stanford university in Palo Alto, has just initiated a recycling program and according to its newspaper, The Observer, it has been a full success. At nearby University of California at San Diego, recycling is also in full swing. Just by walking through the UCSD campus, environmental consciousness becomes evident. There are large paper, glass, and aluminum bins located in the parking lots and cardboard boxes in front of offices and class rooms for either bottles or cans. Palomar had at one time an organized recycling program but it was scrapped. Athletic Director John Woods said "The wrestling team used to pick up, sort, and deposit the paper in bins which then were collected by a

DISTRICT DROPS DRUG TESTING PROPOSAL
Union settles on 6 percent raise Course renumbering By Mark Hopkins Opinion Editor
Members of the classified employees union, CCE/AFT, have approved amendments to the standing labor agreement between the union and the Palomar Community College District on Nov. 28. The vote was 93 ayes, two nays, and nine invalid ballots. All five members of the Governing Board voted in favor of the renegotiated agreement last Tuesday night. Palomar officials withdrew a proposal that would have permitted, with employee consent, District searches ofthatstaffmember' s personal property. The proposal also would have permitted campus officials to initiate urine and/or
blood test for illegal drugs and alcohol with the staff member's approval. CCE/AFT negotiators accepted a proposal that all members of their bargaining unit shall abide by what every blanket employee policies are adopted by the Palomar Community College Governing Board regarding drug and alcohol abuse. Current Board policy is that no employee may use, possess or distribute controlled substances. The Board also mandates that an employee who is under the influence of drugs, including over-thecounter and prescribed medications, as well as alcohol may be subject to disciplinary action which may include termination if the drugs or alcohol impair work per-
formance. The CCE/AFT also agreed not seek to negotiate drug and alcohol policies so long as the District grants the union full participation on a task force or committee which will be established to develop such policies. Palomar's representatives also agreed to provide safety training in hazardous/toxic chemicals as well as in radiation coming from computer monitors. The agreement comes on the heels of CCE/AFT allegations that chemicals and hazardous waste are being improperly stored. Brenda Brubaker, secretary in the Life Sciences Department, said

to assist with transfers Following departmental recommendations to streamline transfer to four- year schools, the Campus Curriculum Committee is developing a plan to renumber classes. Cathy Garvin, coordinator in the Instruction Office, says the plan will help students in a number of ways. She says as things stand now, "It is difficult to track course number changes. The new plan will follow a pattern modeled after those of lower-division courses offered at universities. Courses will be numbered sequentially with
more difficult courses having a higher number." As an example, Garvin cites course numbers in the Math Department. Basic Mathematics, which is currently Math 100, has a higher number than Calculus/ Analytical Geometry, which is Math 80. The new numbering scheme will give calculus a higher course number than basic math: Garvin also said that the Curriculum Committee is now soliciting input from the various de-

New university now accepting applications Donna Harrison Staff Writer Applications are now being accepted for the Falll990 semester at California State University, San Marcos. According to Marti Gray, assistant to the executive vice president of Cal State, San Marcos, applicants must have completed at least 56 lower-division units and have a minimum 2.0 grade point average if they are residents of California, and 2.4 if they are non-residents. The campus, the newest in the 20-campus California State University system, will admit about 600 upper-division students for classes beginning next September, said Gray. Majors being offered include biology, business-accounting, business-management, history, liberal studies, mathematics, psychology and sociology. Post-graduate students can obtain teaching ere-
dentials from the university. Application forms are available at the university office, 820 W. Los Vallecitos, San Marcos. The registration cost for California residents is $372 per semester for 6.1 units or more, and $213 for 6 units or less. Non-California residents must pay $189 per unit in addition to the registration fee. Initially, there will be no student housing on campus. "We're not accepting freshmen until 1995, so dormitories will not be built until at least then," said Gray. "What we plan to do is provide some local housing information in the area." The campus is located in an industrial park and current! y serves as a satellite center for San Diego State University. Beginning next fall, Cal State, San Marcos students will be replacing SDSU students. By September of 1992, San Diego State students will be completely out of the North County center, replaced by approximately 3,800
CSU, San Marcos students. According to Gray, groundbreaking for the new campus will begin in January. The first buildings should be ready for students in the summer of 1992. "We're developing a first-class university for the North County community," said Cal State San Marcos President, Bill Stacy. "fVVe) are working hard to develop an excellent curriculum. We're pleased with the developments to date. "Students have a unique opportunity to be pioneers at a new university, the only one under construction in the United States. We're looking for students with bright, inquiring minds and sound preparation who have a bit of that pioneering spirit."

Union (continued from page 1) in an interview conducted Nov. 9, that in one department acids and bases were being improperly stored together and that a potentially explosive reaction might occur if the chemicals were to mix, as might happen in an earthquake. Rankand-file members told The Telescope Nov. 14 that the department in question is the Life Sciences Department. The members also said that San Diego County Public Health and members of the District's negotiation team have been notified of the alleged violations. District negotiators include lawyer Richard Currier. Currier denied any know ledge of the violations during an interview conducted Nov. 10. The union also came away with a 6 percent increase in pay and an increase in the life insurance redemption value, which has been raised to $60,000 per employee. Earlier this year the District came to the sante agreement on these two items with the non-represented certificated employees. Certifi-
cated employees include professors. Initially the CCE/AFT was asking for a 12 percent pay increase. These two issues were top priority according to an Aug. 3 memorandum by CCE/AFT President Ruth Tait. "Based upon results of our membership survey the executive council has decided to proceed with negotiations for the 5 percent COLA(CostofLivingAllowance), 1 percent raise, and increased life insurance benefits as soon as possible," stated Taitin the memo. The pay increase is retroactive to July 1, 1989. New proposal language also covers changes to the how often an employee may apply for reclassification, extending lunch periods an extra 15 minutes if the employee participates in an exercise class during lunch, the prohibition of using vacation time to extended the effective date of retirement, automatic pay deposits if the service will not cost the district any money,

Correction In the Nov. 14 issue of The Telescope, the story "ASG plan to take Info Center stirs controversy" stated that there is no direct funding coming from the Associated Student Government for the Student Information Center. Subsequent clarification by ASG sources revealed this statement was inaccurate. Actually, $2,000 was set aside this year by the ASG for use by the SIC.

Palomar to operate local Child Care Center By Amy Alexander Staff Writer

Instructor Gayle Stare helps children with their work at Palomar's Child Development Center.
On Nov. 20, the San Marcos city council approved the plans for a building complex at the comer of Rancho Santa Fe and La Costa Meadows which is planned to house an employer-sponsored child care center to be run by Palomar. "We are in the process of negotiating the lease," said Mary Anne Rodgers, director of child care development instruction and services center. "We are willing to make the commitment to run this center. As far as we're concerned, it's a definite go." Rodgers made a presentation to Palomar's Governing Board about
five. We hope that in the future we can expand our services ... to infant care." The center will be self supporting, paying all of its expenses from the money it receives for child care. "The fee is no really set yet," said Rodgers. "We're looking at $80 a week for full time care." Palomar employees will also have the opportunity to use the child care facility. "Anyone who provides start up costs, expertise or help setting the center up will receive first priority (for services.)," said Rodgers. . The plans for the center include six classrooms and would employ approximately six teachers, six to 12 instructional aides, a cook, director, receptionist, and staff aide.

Shirt sale helps with funding
By Laurie Bricknell Contributing Writer
By Janice Davies Staff Writer Palomar's Astronomy Program is giving away Planetarium T-shirts and sweatshirts with a donation of $12 for aTshirt and $18 and up for a sweatshirt. The shirts are available at the Planetarium in the Earth Sciences building. The donations are io be used to refurbish the 23-year-old seats, and replace some of the outdated equipment. Aside from funds they receive from the college, they rely on donations from programs and lectures held for the community and various schools.

the project on Nov. 14. "They seemed to be in favor of the new center," she said. Local developer Tom Anthony is building the complex and will most likely lease a portion of it to Palomar for the center. The leasing cost has not been set yet. However, Rodgers said Anthony will be "taking into consideration that we are a non-profit organization. He most probably will not be making a profit on the lease." Hunter Industries has made a major contribution to the project and other businesses will be contributing to start up costs. Palomar will provide the staffing and expertise.

Part-time student and employee Dean Wyman said that the adjunct faculty are treated like third class citizens. Wyman feels since the college has opened up the campus to documented aliens from the Amnesty program and allows them to use the Health Services just by enrolling in the E.S.L. program, the adjunct faculty should also receive the privilege. "Charity starts at home," said Wyman. Backart said that under the Johnson's Assembly Bill, there is no clear cut definition as to staff usage of Student Health Services.

Dean of Student Support Programs Kent Backart voiced concern over the possible future overload of staff employees using the Student Health Service's facilities at the Nov. 21 Presidents Advisory Council Meeting. · "Staff members are signing up as students and paying the health services fee in order to see the physicians at no charge," said Backart. "There is concern here from the staff at Student Health Services that the regular students will have to wait longer to see a doctor." Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs stated that if staff employees want to take classes, then there will be no discrimination and they will be considered students. "Students come first," said Boggs. Presently, all full time staff memhers are allowed to use the Student Health Services for minor services
such aS blood-pi:essiire and weighins. Some part-time instructors, such as Charlotte Downey, don't see this as being fair. "I work part-time because that is all that is available right now and I don't get any benefits nor do I get to use the Student Health Services," said Downey.

ASG's leadership questioned, referendum proposed The proposed takeover of the Student Information Center by the Associated Student Government is a mistake and has been handled shoddily up to this point. I do not advocate the "merger" and am very concerned ~n several points. The Information Center has been run very efficiently and smoothly by the students for quite Some time. I have seen no evidence of the Student G'overnmerit acting as anything other than a social club since the year began and have grave reservations about their competence or willingness to run it as effectively. The SJC is currently open practically all day (they've been there every time I've needed them), versus the ASG office which has very limited hours. When the ASG is open, the crowd inside is having such a good time that it gives cause to wonder if any work is accomplished. I myself had to try several times to get my student ID card, returning twice because the person inside did not know how to take the picture. With competence levels so low and hours so scarce, am I, as a student, expected to entrust my books for resale and expect to be able to buy the books I need? I think not. This forced "merger" is not in the best interest of the students. The only benefit to be gained from it is increased space for the ASG to relax and tell their jokes, while we students try in vain to buy a used book or sell ours to other students, or find out a bus schedule, or ask any of the other hundreds of questions the SIC currently answers each week. I call for a loud and firm student response on this issue. Let's put it to a vote: Do you think the ASG should take over the Student Information Center? Rebecca Zimmerman, Student
What's political about hypocrisy? Here it goes again. Whenever a church or a religious organization commits a definite public action, especially when that action is associated with a hot political topic, the "separation between church and state" issue is revive~ again. Individuals love to accuse religious leaders of meddling in the operations of government and stepping over the boundary that divides religion and politics ...even when that religious leader is only acting out duties of the church. Such is the situation with San Diego Bishop Leo Maher who publicly announcect that state senatorial candidate Lucy K.illea (D) can no longer receive Communion in the Roman Catholic Church. Lucy K.illea, the pro-choice candidate running against pro-life Carol Bentley (R), claims she is a Catholic, personally against abortion, but for abortion rights. Now, Bishop Leo Maher is being accused of dabbling in politics, by ¡attempting to sway the position of a candidate for the senate, using Communion as his political weapon. But did Lucy Killea not know the position of the church to which she belorigect? ¡ ¡ Pro-life is the official position of the Catholic church who officially believe that abortion, for any reason, is murder. Faced with K.illea's publicly held and advocated abortion stance, Bishop Maher, as a leader of the Catholic church, had a responsibility to take a position against her actions. Membership to the Catholic church is not a right, but a privilege. Church teachings and actions must not be misconstrued as political strategies. This issue has done little more than to place K.illea into the political spotlight. She is a pro-choice Catholic, which, by the Catholic church, is a contradiction in terms. So a Bishop called her on her hypocrisy, what is so political about that? Tracy Wilson Staff Writer

"Evil Empire" leader on right path towards change In the early part of his presidency, former president Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union "The Evil Empire." Ironically enough, near the end of his term in office, the world watched him walk arm in arm with empire leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Recent events have proven that Reagan's act of name-calling is an embarrassing mistake. The many surprising changes that are taking place in eastern europe reads like a Christmas wish list come true and the man who made these events possible is Mikhail Gorbachev. Gorbachev has indeed done well. There are still many changes to be made in the Soviet Union and eastern Europe but they will take place in due time. After all, Gorbachev is only human and he cannot change everything overnight. Communism has been firmly rooted in the communist bloc for almost half a century. Getting rid of antiquated ways and the feeble dinosaurs of the old
Political Commentary Cris Fraser regime who are still clinging onto medieval beliefs is a difficult task which requires a good deal of time. Gorbachev is doing the best he can to produce results and to bolster the Soviets' and the world's faith in him. A Russian proverb says "He who goes slowly will have more successes" and that is exactly what Gorbachev is doing. If he is given the chance, Gorbachev could in time finally fulfill eastern Europe's need for social, economic, and political reforms.

With a cast of 27, elaborate costuming, music and sets, Amadeus, the second theater presentation of the year, will open tonight. Director G. Patrick Larmer is excited about this production. "It's a beautifully written play," he said. ''I'd be a fool, as a director, not to produce a show scored by Mozart." Amadeus opened 10 years ago in London, England. Written by playwright Peter Shaffer, the play came to Broadway and was awarded a Tony as "Best Play of the Year." In 1984, director Milos Foreman made a movie version which won eight Academy Awards , including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor to F. Murray Abraham. Set in the 18th century, Amadeus is told from the viewpoint of Antonio Salieri (portrayed by Abraham in the 1984 film), a real court composer in Vienna. Acclaimed in his day, he realizes his own "mediocrity" when Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart appears on the scence. As Mozart struggles for acceptance by his peers, Salieri chafes under the realization that he will never reach the effortless musical genius Mozart creates. Jealousy leads Salieri to plan a scenario that leads to Mozart's paupers death at age 35. "It's totally untrue that Salieri had anything to do with Mozart's death," Larmer said. "But it's very interesting dramatically." "Salieri was a just talented composer who was acclaimed in his day," Larmer explains. "Mozart's genius was not recognized until after his death." "But the clever plot contrivance is that Salieri is able to see Mozart's genus," said Larmer. "The play addresses the question that plagues people in the creative arts- what is talent and how and why is it recognized," Larmer said. Costuming a play set in the 18th century can be a challenge. Originally the costumes from a local opera company were going to be used. "But they wanted too
much money," Larmer said. Now the costumes are coming from a variety of sources. One source is the Center Theatre Costume Shop which supplies wardrobe for the Taper, Ahmason and Dorothy Chandlier Pavilion Theatres in Los Angeles. Some of the costumes being used cost up to $2,000. Larmer praises costumer Christina Tegedah for pulling the wardrobe together. Tegadah is a part-time instructor for the family and consumer sciences department and team teaches costuming on campus. Another of the challenges for Larmer was to "impart to the actors a sense of the period of the time." " It was a very formal period- not at all like today," Larmer said. Even with these challenges, Larmer believes that the cast is doing very well. "The cast as a whole is working very hard to do as I say," he joked. "We have strong people in the cast." One of these strong perfomers is Don Roberts who is portraying Salieri. Roberts was professionally trained in New York and as Salieri, he has what Larmer calls a "tremendous lineload." "There are some particularly challenging roles that actors would kill to do," Larmer said. "Don was waiting for the chance to play Salieri." After Amadeus ends itsrun,Roberts will direct Death of a Salesman at the East County Performing Arts Center in El Cajon. Finding music for this production proved to be difficult as well. Although there is much of Mozart's recorded music available, Larmer has had trouble finding a particular Salieri opera recording. "The music in this play is wonderful," Larmer said. "We have an excellent sound system in the theater and an excellent sound technician." "We want the best quality so wecandoitjustice," said Larmer. The play opens tonight at 8 p.m. in the Palomar College Community Theatre. Performances will also be held on Saturday, Dec. 2, and Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 7-9, also at 8 p.m. Matinees will be held on Sunday, Dec. 3 and Dec. 10 at 2 p.m.

·. :weren't finding work. .· . Then early in the summer of 1971, DiXon received a phone call from Palomar College offering her a job in the American Indian Stud·. ies program. Dixon declined the ' Offer thinking that she would find something Closer to her field. "American Indian Studles didn't exist when I was in school. I majored in the Western History-Frontier Movement and there was a class that everyone took on Indians," , . Said DixQn. · Not giving in, the college call~ Dixon once again at the end of the summer. This time they told Dixon that she owed it to them· to come to . work at Palomar because there .were Indian students on campus with only one Indian teacher. Dixon accepted the job with re-
what it took to be a college teacher and still needing her fifth year of schooling to receive her masters degree in teaching. Dixon knows that she made a lot of mistakes in her first year of teaching, but she felt that this was a new program and there was still so much to learn for both her and her students. "I was miserable," recalls Dixon. "Basically because they make more of an effon now but when I came here there was no one here to teach you how to teach." By the end of the year, however, Dixon found that she liked it at Palomar. "It was a hard year, but I also found out that it was very exciting. I discovered that I enjoyed the level at which I was teaching and I knew I wanted to stay." Dixon describes the time as one where everyone was searching for their sense of pride, identity, and heritage. "There were a lot of vocal and active Indian Students on campus, so Palomar decided to hire a new person approximately one each year to create some very exciting courses that would teach the complexity and diversity of the local tribes as well as those all over the country, and to be very honest

American Indian Studies Department Chairperson Patricia Dixon about the problems," said Dixon. A lot of the direction of the departrnent in the beginning years came form the students since all of the teachers were fairly young. "We had pretty much the same enthusiasm as they had. We made
an early commitment in the development of our department that we would always be available to the community at large, and that we would try to develop strong academic courses and not become too political or racial," Dixon ex-
plained. When Dixon was originally hired she was the only Native American from the local area on staff. They now have a pan-time instructor that works at the Indian Education Center on the reservation who's also from the area. A pan of history that Dixon feels people should acknowledge are the conflicts between Native Americans and white settlers, especially the ones that have been overlooked by history books or recounted inaccurately. "What's more important to show is that a lot of them (historical inaccuracies) were honest mistakes. Sometimes it was just inevitable, but it doesn't mean it was right," Said Dixon. She tells her students about a lot of things that aren't taught in regular history. Dixon says, "the longer our country exists there's going to be a lot more we're not going to learn. You're going to hear things that you've never heard before and you're going to become angry and embarrassed over what your country has done." Dixon reminds them that there is also a bright side and that they are not culpable for what happened in the past, but they are responsible for today and tomorrow.

Comets continue victory streak By Scott King
Palomar breaks 18 football records Along with their first division championship and bowl bid, the Comets also received some individual accolades this past week. Quarterback Scott Barrick was named the Mission Conference Southern Division's offensive player of the year, while linebacker Fred Williams was named the defensive player of the year. Tom Craft was named coach of the year for the Southern Division. Craft guided the Comets to their best season ever. Palomar finished the year ranked lOth in Southern California and 19th in the state. Several records fell in the Southwestern game. In all, 18 records were broken in the 49-28 Comet victory. Barrick set records of most passing yards in a game with 478 (Mission Conference record), most completions in a game with 40 (conference record), to go with several season records. Season records set by Barrick were for most passes completed with 248 (national record), yards passing, 3,225 (conference record), passes attempted, 449 (state record), and most yards of total offense, 3,046 (conference record) . Chris Chiarappa set a conference record with 1,282 yards receiving, which is the 6th best national mark for a JC pass catcher. Chiarappa and tight end Eric Hansen became the first receiving duo to gain more than a 1,000 each on the same team.

Wrestlers grapple for championships Ken Baurmeister Staff Writer Palomar's wrestling team has its work cut out for them. A shot at the state championship hinges on the outcome of the regional tournament in Santa Ana this Friday. "We have to place in the top three in the regionals," said coach Roye Oliver, "or your season is over and you don't go on." Over the last two weeks several outstanding individual wrestlers have secured themselves spots on all-star and first teams, but as a team they also lost for the first time this season.
On Nov . 11, at San Luis Obispo, athletes were competing for placements on the all-star teams. "We had three people make it," said Oliver. "They were Aaron Gaeir, Chris Winkler and Phil Jones." Palomar's first losses came on Nov. 15 and then again on Nov. 21. First Cerritos dropped Palomar 25-13 and then Moorpark defeated them in a close match that ended 23-20. "It has been the lowest we have been placed this year," added . Oliver. "We took fourth by one point to Moorpark and are 11 behind

With the first bowl bid in the school's history already wrapped up, you might have thought the Comets were looking past last Saturday's homecoming game against Southwestern. Think again. The Comets played perhaps their best offensive game of the season by pounding the defending Southem Division champions 49-28 at San Marcos High School, in a contest that saw 18 conference, state and national records fall . The Palomar air attack was once again led by quarterback Scott Barrick. The San Diego State transfer kept the sideline chain crew busy as he broke his own Mission Conference record with 4 78 yards passing. Barrick threw for 474 on Nov. 4 against Mt. San Antonio College. Coach Tom Craft and his squad go up against Ventura tomorrow in the Hall of Fame Bowl at Balboa Stadium. Kick off is scheduled for 1 p.m. Palomar has momentum on their side, finishing the regular season with five consecutive victories and a 6-4 record. Barrick looked for and found familiar targets Eric Hansen and Chris Chiarappa in dismantling the Southwestern defensive back field. Hansen caught 15 passes for 205 yards, while Chiarappa pulled in 12 passes for 159 yards. On the season, Chiarappa has 1,282 yards and Hansen ends with 1,004, marking the first time in state history that two receivers on the same team finished with 1,000 yards each in the same season. Sean Davis opened the Palomar scoring party with a 2-yard dive in the first quarter. After a four touchdown second period, the Comets enjoyed a 32-7 lead. Linebacker Eric Paopao recovered a fumble in the end zone, and Barrick hit Chiarappa from 23 yards out, and found Hansen for scores of29 and 14 yards. The Apaches didn't fare much better in the second half. After Roan White nailed a 33-yard field goal, Davis broke the goal line again for a 4-yard touchdown. Davis finished with 29 yards on 10 carries. Three second half Southwestern touchdowns were not enough, as Craft pulled all of his starters in the third quarter. Tim Kechter, David Kelly and Jeff Scott all recovered Southwestern fumbles to contribute to the win. Eddie Johnson added the final Comet touchdown, scoring from 5 yards out, and Lino Persi connected on his fourth extra-point of the afternoon. "I never thought we would still be playing this late in the year, this is great," said Persi, in reference to tomorrow's contest.
Player ineligibility hurts men's basketball team By Fernaudo Ricardez Sports Writer Early in the pre-season, things are not looking pretty for the Palomar men's basketball team. The Comets are coming off a 7058 loss to Mt. San Jacinto that puts their pre-season record at a disappointing 1 and 5. " I really don't know what has gone wrong," said coach Andy Gilmour. "We had some injuries at the beginning of the year but we got those players back now and things haven't changed." Although the coach doesn't think one single factor accounts for
his team's poor start, he believes the loss of Lee Cobb to ineligibility is a key factor. At 6 feet 8 inches, Cobb could have given the Comets a lot of strength underneath the basket. "We miss his scoring and rebounding. He was one of our better players last year and we sure would like to have him this season," the coach said. In the absence of Cobb, a player that has taken much of the team's burden is Poway High graduate Dave Delaney. At this point, Delaney is the team's leading scorer. "Individual players are doing well," said Gilmour "But it (the 1-5
record) is a team thing. Our inability to take care of the basketball and play as a team has hurt us," the coach added. The Comets will take to the road for a couple of tournaments before coming back to play a strong Rancho Santiago team on Dec. 22. If the Comets are to tum their season around, this would be a good time to do it. "Hopefully, we will be a better team by the time Conference comes around in January. The tournaments will give our guys some experience and this can make our team better," said the coach.

Women's soccer half-back Wrestling stands out as ball of energy (continued from page 7)
By Janice D~vies StaffWriter · Palomar's soccer team had numerous outstanding players this year. One player seems to standout, however, and that's Tina Rosillo. Standing a mere 5 feet 2 inches tall, she's a compact ball of energy, and she just dominates the field. Rosillo played various positions on the team this season, starting out at forward and wing. Halfway through the season, Coach Jacques LaDouceur put her in as half-back. "The coach just put me wherever he needed me," said Rosillo. "I think the defenders played very well and so did the forwards. They scored all the goals." Even though Rosillo scored four of her own goals this season, she says she could have played better. "I started out the summer by practicing with a friend. Then I just : didn't practice," she said. "I know I could have played better." Rosillo and other players say the womeh' s soccer team had a good year. "I know the team played really good this season," said Rosillo.
"We had a lot of good players." Winning isn't new to Rosillo. She has earned a number of awards when she was a player at San Dieguito High School. She says those honors were earned with the help of her brother. "My brother Chuy always came to my games and was always helping me practice. Then he just stared helping the coach ... that really meant a lot to me, because he was always there and giving me advice. "Chuy taught me everything I know about soccer." After a summer trip to Jamaica, Rosillos plans to continue her schooling.
"After summer, it's time to enroll in Court Reporter School, because that's really what I want to be," she said. "I came to Palomar to get my general requirement out of the way; Court Reporting School will take two years." Included in her future plans, Rosillo would like to form her own soccer team. "Some of us girls are going to form a team this summer, and join the Peninsula League. That should be fun, but then it's off to school." Rosillo will be at Palomar next semester, and will most probably be making her last college soccer points before starting her career.

If the departments approve their proposed renumeration schedule by December, the instruction office will, in January, start work on a final draft. Garvin said that the change will take effect summer term 1990.
Articulation with other schools will be easier says Garvin. According to Director of Admissions, Herman Lee, course numbers currently on transcripts will not be changed to reflect the new course numbers but, "a legend will be on the back of the transcript explaining the renumbering."

. new owner does not pick the . paper ·up ·anymore." . Without a centralized program, individual departments·have taken it upon themselves to recycle waste paper with various methods. The biggest recycler on campus is Administrative Data Processing and Information Services. Director Reid said, "We recycle all the paper that we use and a couple of other offices send their paper." The paper gets picked up by a service which weighs it and them sends a check to Palomar's Business Office. "The money then gets abated back to our supply account," said ·Reid. "From the paper just out of this and the other offices we make about $70 per month. It is not a lot, but then it is justa few offices." Other departments have completely different method of recycling. They reuse the unprinted side of a sheet of paper. The mailroom, which has a print shop atmosphere and two copy machines the size of cars, is supervised by Linda Nomura. "With departments have paper leftovers they bring it back and we make them pads," said Nomura. Paper printed on both sides gets thrown away. "I am sorry that the recycling people (The wrestling team) is not coming anymore," she added, "It was a good system." The computer lab in the library has an automatic recycling program. Any scratch · paper that accumulates gets used immediately by the tutoring center located next to it. The lack of a campus-wide program has led one office worker to recycle on her own, recycling paper from her department to its benefit. "I use the money to buy various things for the office," she said. "We clear about $20 per
number one Fresno. On Wednesday Nov. 22, Palomar solidly defeated Mt. San Antonio with a score of 37-6 and thus landed at the front of the South Coast Conference, but this year it is shared. "This year we share three things with Cerritos," Oliver said. "Aaron Gaeir got co-wrestler of the year with Cerritos' Antonio Mckee, we both have the number one spot, and I got co-coach of the year." Last Monday at Golden West College in Huntington Beach several wrestlers were chosen for the all conference teams. "Two guys, Chris Winkler and Aaron Gaeir, made the first team, said Oliver. "Brian Wallner, R.J. Fairless and Phil Jones made the second team and Michael Purnell and Stephan Clemmer received an honorary mention." Three days before, in the most important match of the year, Oliver got some news nobody wanted to hear. Brian Wallner,a 126-pounderhad been loosing weight so he could enter in the 118 pound class. "I just heard he might have broken his arm. If that is true it is going to hurt us." He would have been a big surprise had he entered at 118 pounds and according to Oliver "would have shocked some people. "We are against the wall now. We have to push a little harder. Without Wallner, somebody else has to come through for us to win a spot on the state championship."

year." Such a system is frowned upon by the administration however, because it circumvents campus fiscal policies. The majority of Palomar's trash is made up of paper. Ozden (Dan) Camcioglu, a custodian who cleans the library said "I get five large trash bags out of those two buildings and it is at least 75 percent paper." The total amount of trash generated by Palomar, according to Phillip Morgan, the campus' custodial supervisor is "mostly paper products." Morgan added that "there are three 40-square-yard dumpsters on campus and they fill up about once a week." Mike Reid would like to see a full-scale recycling program but says some research needs to be done. He says it would take a staff to run the program and unless the money collected would exceed the staff cost, it would not be worth it. But he added that, "My sense of things is that if we were to go into full-scale recycling and set it up right, the college could realize a profit."
