Concerns brought before Board

By Mark Hopkins Editor-in-Chief

A routine inspection of college facilities by Palomar's Governing Board turned out to be anything but routine Tuesday evening when chemistry instructor David Boyajian presented departmental concerns over the quality of work done by the general contractor in a remodeling of one of the chemistry buildings.

"There has been total resistance for the total time," said Boyajian to Board members

about the relationship between his department and Crest Construction, which was awarded the remodeling contract by the Governing Board.

Boyajian said specifications called for the use of either aluminium or polypropylene instead of sheet steel in the construction of "snorkel hoods" located in student laboratories. Snorkel hoods suck away vapors being given off from student experiments.

The professor said the hoods are too cumbersome to manipulate for all but the brawniest male students and that steel, when com-

pared to aluminium or polypropylene, is more likely to rust out from the caustic chemicals used in experiments.

Board Vice President, Ben Echeverria commented that "if it does not meet the specifications, then it should be rejected."

During Boyajian's presentation, President of the Board Harvey Williamson, asked if Crest has been paid. Director ofB uildings and Grounds, Mike Ellis, responded that the firm has not been paid.

In an interview afterwards, Bryant Guy, director of contracts, later clarified Ellis'

statement. "All but a fi ve percent retainage fee has been paid by the Governing Board," said Guy. He said that the contract is worth $650,000.

Guy also said that the engineers of the hoods were either not given the specifications or misinterpreted them. He said that a red flag popped up when the hoods were being installed and that "we went back with Boyajian to fix the problem."

408 CALLS PER DAY ADDED

New phone lines relieve overloads

By Traci Rossman Assistant News Editor

"Merry" Mary J~eb (front left) receives a kis~ on the band from DanidLeal in.a rehearsal for Palomar's pn)(luedon of 'â&#x20AC;˘Tbe Merry Widow}' The musical begins tonight in the Palomar College Community Theatre and runs through Mar~h 25. The production is a cooperative venture of the music. dance and theater departments. Also pidured are Daniel Hendrick and Jennifer Seay. For more information see the entertainment calendar on page 9.

Prompted by phone system overload during the fall and spring registration periods, Palomar has added four new incoming phone lines to its 19-line computerized system, increasing the system's capacity by 408 calls per day.

At a press conference earlier this semester, Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs told The Telescope there were problems with the phone system during Spring registration. ''I'm not completely happy with the system," he said. 'The phones were always busy; people couldn't reach us."

It cost Palomar approximately $1300 to install the new trunk lines.

According to Maryann Amaya, the main phone operator at Palomar, "We added new lines because people complained that they were getting busy signals."

A lot has changed since dial mailboxes were added to campus extensions in 1987. Back then, two operators were taking an average of 2,700 calls per day.

Amaya remembers, "We had to answer every call, we had to place all local and long distance calls, and we had to take all messages."

Now the dial mailboxes record callers' messages, as well as give out information like instructors' office hours and deadline dates.

Rather than having each call go through the operator, an automated system distributes the incoming phone traffic to the individual departments. This leaves the operators free to spend time with people who need information.

"The disbursement of calls is a lot better than it used to be," says

'The phones were always busy; people couldn't reach us.'

Dr. George Boggs Superintendent/ President Amaya. "There's no waiting as far as putting them (callers) on hold, because you put them on the voice mailbox and it'll say to them 'I'm sorry, that extension is busy,' or 'will you please leave a message.'

That eliminates all waiting."

According to Amaya, all incoming lines are checked every day to be sure they are functioning properly. Any problems with the system are immediately reported to Quintron, the company that services Palomar's phone system.

Amaya explains that, like every computerized system, if there is a power failure or if someone disturbs the equipment in any way, it will dump all the information needed to run the phone system.

Joe Klier of Quintron explains that when mechanical failures in the switchroom do occur, the system is switched onto a 48-hour battery back-up. However, it has been necessary to use the back-up only twice in the past year.

For Amaya, there is only one drawback with the system. "With the many different types of phones

College to run new child-care center

Mary Ann Giardina-Rodgers, a child care specialist at Palomar College, will serve as executive director of the new employer-sponsored child care center in San Marcos's La Costa Meadows Industrial Park.

Putting a playpen in your office may not be the best child care solution but, according to the experts, it's not too far off the mark.

Employer-sponsored child care, a relatively new concept that puts the child care center close to the parent's work place, is a national trend that is growing in North San Diego County.

Early last year, Palomar College was called upon by the city of San Marcos and the San Marcos Child Care Task Force to help create a model child care center for the employees of the La Costa Meadows Industrial Park. The college agreed to offer its expertise to create and operate an employer-sponsored child care center.

Groundbreaking.for the La Costa Meadows child care center will be under way at the comer of Rancho Santa Fe Road and La Costa Meadows later this month.

Employer-sponsored child care is basically a joint venture between employers and their employees who have young children. Employers are approached to invest in the developmentcostofthecenter,and participating employees pay tuition fees for the day care their children receive. The center is then built either near the sponsoring business

or location or on the actual work site.

Palomar employees will be eligible to pay tuition for available child care spaces at the La Costa Meadows center because the college is donating its services to manage the operations of the facility. The majority of the spaces will be allocated to the sponsoring La Costa Meadows businesses, with some spaces available to neighboring businesses. The center will offer space for 86 children.

Hunter Industries, the largest employer in the La Costa Meadows Industrial Park, first talked with Palomar representatives a boat their child care needs early last year when they considered creating a child-care room in their facility .

Contact with other businesses in the park and in the nearby business community encouraged Hunter Industries to join with Palomar in creating a larger, employer-sponsored center.

Full-time care for preschoolers between age two and five, based on eight-hour days, will cost the parents approximately $80 a week.

Other services, based on an hourly fee structure, will also be available.

"Employer-sponsored child care will soon be the child care of choice

across the country because it works ," said Mary Anne GiardinaRodgers, Palomar's child care specialist.

Giardina-Rodgers directed Palomar's 180-child care center for the past four years and now will serve as executive director of San Marcos's new La Costa Meadows employer-sponsored center.

"The employer-sponsored child care center concept is effective because it offers benefits to all involved," said Giardina-Rodgers.

"For instance, employer contributions to their employees' child care costs are deductible as a business expense and are also considered a non-taxable fringe benefit to the employees."

In 1960, only 19 percent of women in the work force had children under the age of six. In 1995, that number is expected to be higher than 65 percent.

"When employers look at available information, they realize that sponsoring a child care center for their employees is simply good for business," said Giardina-Rodgers.

"Employers as Prospects," written by renowned child care consultant and author Julie Wassom, reports that employer-sponsored (see CARE- page 2)

Pauma satellite center gives education to Indian students

Care (continued from page 2) child care programs reduce absenteeism, tardiness, job turnover and training costs for participating businesses. Studies show that the adoption of employer-sponsored centers can assist in recruiting valued employees and improving productivity and job performance as well as the morale of existing employees.

"Employees feel more comfortable having their children nearby, and they credit their employers with making their child care responsibilities easier," said Giardina-Rodgers.

Palomar has assumed a progressive and extensive role in the La Costa Meadows child care center project.

"It's an exciting venture because we are literally creating a model program from the ground up," said Giardina-Rodgers.

Giardina-Rodgers supplied detailed specifications for the layout of the 7 ,000-square-foot facility and has worked closely with local developer Tom Anthony and his architects on the building design.

Anthony has agreed to build and landscape the facility to specifications at no extra cost. Anthony was the developer for the La Costa Meadows Industrial Park.

Once the child care center is completed, the Palomar Community College District plans to lease the building and will take on all the responsibilities for the center's operations. Ultimate direction for the child care center will be the responsibility of the Governing Board, with recommendations from Giardina-Rodgers and other college officials.

Giardina-Rodgers estimates that the college will need to add 20

people to its current child care personnel to staff the new center at its peak enrollment.

She pointed out that Ann HunterWelbom, co-owner of Hunter Industries, has been most instrumental in recruiting employer sponsorships for the new center. HunterWelbom has led a series of informational meetings and a general recruitment campaign which raised sponsorship fees toward the startup cost of the new facility.

Hunter-Wellborn said, "In addition to qualifying its employees for child care benefits, contributions to the center also entitle the employer to a seat on the child care center's advisory board, giving employees a voice in setting policies for the center.

Although the La Costa Meadows child care center development has progressed smoothly, GiardinaRodgers said there has been some confusion regarding how the center relates to Palomar's existing, oncampus child-care center.

She explains that the first priority of Palomar's 14-year-old facility is to offer spots for students' children.

Remaining spaces are open for children ofPalomaremployees and then community children are admitted. At present, the 180-child campus center has a waiting list of nearly 500 children.

"Palomar's administration is most interested in improving the overall child care picture in San Diego County," said GiardinaRodgers. "Support for this new project as well as other actions which have consistently earned our on-campus center the state's highest rating demonstrate Palomar's commitment to the development of quality child care in San Diego."

By Karen Troxell Staff Writer At 36 miles from the main campus, the satellite seems far removed from Palomar's orbit.

With one classroom, the American Indian Educational Center (AlEC) located in Pauma Valley offers four classes per semester. Seventy to 75 percent of the students come from the nine local Indian reservations with ages ranging from 17 to 75.

Classes offered are chosen by students and approved by the Administration, which tries to provide the necessary teachers and equipment.

"Most of our students want typing, but it is not something available to us here," said Naida Garcia, who works with the students at the AlEC. According to Pat Dixon, chairwoman of American Indian studies, at the present time there is only one computer available to students. However, the college is planning to add a mobile classroom with computers and type-

writers with money from a federal Title 3 grant.

Due to the low number of courses offered, some students must travel 36 miles to the main campus to complete their degrees.

"Because there are so few classes, and most students want to higher their education, they have to go to the Palomar campus sooner or later," said Garcia.

"Most of the students don't have cars good enough for that long of a drive, so they have to catch the city transit bus in Pala at 7 a.m. Then they have to wait until 7 p.m. to catch the bus home." · Another problem that faces the AlEC is finding instructors to teach classes.

Dixon said the fear of the unknown and the distance from the main campus discourage instructors from working at the satellite.

"I think they think we still run around with tomahawks," she said.

Over the past 17 years Palomar and the Pauma Tribe have col-

lected books to make a small library for the students. This library is inside of the classroom and is available for use by the public.

The Pauma Tribe bought a computer for the library, and for the students, who before had no access to one.

The librarian, Patricia Friend, wants to build an adobe library next to the classroom. She designed the plans and is trying to acquire the funds to do the work.

When itfirstopened in 1973 the AlEC had a total of 189 students.

This year's enrollment is 197.

According to Garcia, many of the students at AlEC are high school students who are transferring their credits to their high school grades.

Garcia does much of the recruiting for the AlEC. She goes door to door with flyers, and puts bulletins up at all the tribal communities, and also goes to all the surroundin)! ~igh schools.

This semt-'~'(.'b"" the AlEC is offering Supervisit~~8, English 1, American Indian rf-19 •iers, and Auto Mechanics. ">o~

Student Union area under construction Noise-free toom to be built

By Rikki Org Staff Writer

(Photo by John Tucker)

Student workers from a ceramics and tile class lay flooring in the new quiet area currently under construction in the breezeway in the Student Union. Th·e room will be noise-free and be furnished with formica-plywood boot tables similar to those found in McDonald's restaurants. Booth tables in the room will be supplied by the California Food Services, and will seat approximately 64 students in two- and four-seating booths.

The project is scheduled for completion at the end of this month.

Seeking the need for a quieter area in the Student Union, Palomar College is adding a $10,000 "quiet study and eating area" to the structure.

The area will be located in the breezeway next to the game room (behind the doubledoors in the Student Union) and entrance will be right off the main eating area.

Booth tables in the room will be supplied by the California Food Services, and will seat approximately 64 students in two- and fourseating booths.

According to Mike Ellis, director of buildings and grounds, "The booths will be of formed formica-plywood (the type found the standard McDonald's restaurants). These types of booths are durable, last a long time, and are real hard to destroy."

The project, slated for completion by the end of the month, may be decorated with a mural and student artwork. The cafeteria will

service the area to make sure it stays clean.

Three years ago, the Student Union had a quiet eating area where Square Pan Pizza now resides. The cafeteria later expanded the area for their fast food service and eventually for its current resident.

Prior to the remodel, the breezeway was being considered for use as a gamy room, painting room or meeting room.

However, student opinion swayed the final decision.

"We have students here who want the sound and who don't want the sound. Since they eliminated the other eating area, we felt that this would be in the best interest of most of the students," said Jim Bowen, director of student activities.

Some of the work on the eating area will be done by students.

"We are working with the tile setting class on campus to do a ceramic tile flooring (which was done last weekend). On~e it's painted and the booths arrive, the room will be operational," said Ellis.

Evolutionist break law, promote propaganda There is a great crime being committed against America's students. The modus operandi is a half-baked scientific theory which attempts to explain the origin of life and the crime is the institutionalization and acceptance as dogma despitemassiveevidenceagainst it. As you might know, this theory is evolution.

Let's look at evolution in a scientific perspective. First off, we learn from the second law of thermodynamics that natural processes, if left to themselves, will always move towards disorder, and that the simple does not produce the more complex. This is recognized as an unbreakable law in the scientific world.

Yet don't evolutionists want us to go against this law and accept that a single cell increased in complexity over time to finally develop into humans? That's right, they do.

They would like us to believe that this all happened through mutations in the species. Well, what are mutations? Mutations are deformities in an animal's genes that become inheritable. This does not create .a more complex creature, however.

In order to create a higher order, new information must be added to the DNA, but mutations don't do this. They merely disturb the existing information which causes abnormalities like diabetes and hemophilia.

Then why do evolutionists still insist that mutations created the diversity of life? Frankly, it's because this is all they have. They conveniently overlook the facts and say, "Somehow it just happened over billions of years, so don't question it."

Fossils, or the lack of them, is another big problem for evolutionists. If there had existed a microscopic cell3 billion years ago, and it evolved into more complex creatures step by step, then there would have existed, and been fossilized, multitudes of transitional creatures bridging the gap between species. But guess what, no fossil record has ever been found of even one of these supposed intermediate creatures.

What the fossil record does show is perfected species, whole and complete, a sure sign of creation. In 1980, after a major conference in Chicago in which 160 evolutionists basically renounced their belief, Newsweek stated, "Evidence from the fossil record now points overwhelming away from classical Darwinism which most Americans learned in high school."

We can thank the famous "Scopes Trial" of 1925 for putting evolution in our textbooks. In this trial, the "evidence" obtained from Piltdown Man, Java Man and Nebraska Man was examined.

These archaeological findings, which were supposed to be bones proving the existence of transitional ape-men, had all previously been revealed as fakes. For instance, the Nebraska Man hoax had been fabricated from the tooth of a wild pig. Yet these facts were ignored. Why? Could it be that this trial offered so much publicity with all the pictures and drawings circulated by the press, that a fascinated public didn't ask for the facts?

I hope that you, as an inquisitive person, will dig up some of the wealth of evidence brought against the theory of evolution and. challenge the system.

Some scientists are willing to overlook their own rules and logic in a desperate attempt to force their substitute for creation down our throats! It takes a lot more faith to believe all of evolution's far out claims than to simply say "God created it."

Awards, not jail time, for Operation Rescue group Imagine, if you will, standing in front of thousands of people accepting an award for saving a person's life.

Congratulations, hugs, kisses, and even a limousine ride would be in order. In our country there is a group of people that has saved thousands of lives, and their reward is a trip to jail and/or a fine. This is a case of civil obedience versus moral conviction. This group of lifesavers is using the same course of action that Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Henry David Thoreau used to change legal injustices. This group is Operation Rescue. Their mission is to save babies' lives by peaceable means.

When Martin Luther King, Jr., an African-American civil rights leader organized a 382-day boycott of the Montgomery, Alabama bus system he participated in civil disobedience. As history shows, their peaceful demonstrations, sit-ins and rallies led to desegregation laws in schools, work and public places.

Another follower of peaceful resistance was India's Mahatma Gandhi. According to the book Mahatma Gandhi's Ideas by C. F. Andrews, Gandhi expressed the need for people to strive for what is right and just.

Gandhi said, "neveractoutofill-will. Do not cause hurt to any man. But if, by resisting, in pure love, what you hold to be evil in another, you thereby cause him to be angry or offended, that you must be prepared for."

King and Gavdhi stepped over the boundaries of civil laws for their beliefs and convictions. It is in this same spirit that Operation Rescue abides by. Operation Rescue, a group of people ranging from professionals to junior high students, intentions are to block the entrances of abortion clinics and close down the clinics that day as well as to speak with women coming in for abortions. Their desire is to inform mothers of the options available to them besides the destruction of their babies.

Options available to them include having the baby with financial and emotional support from pro-life centers or adoption. According to the National Committee for Adoption there are over 2 million couples waiting to adopt babies.

Staff Commentary Nick Sherr On Feb. 1, 11 Operation Rescue members in El Cajon received a sentence of 40 days of public work or a $2000 fine, and one person received up to 270 days and a $2,000 fine for trespassing and resisting arrest outside a La Mesa clinic in October. Meanwhile, convicted accessories to murder are released from prisons to make room for these non-violent protestors.

Pro-lifers and members of Operation Rescue have a common belief voiced in the Declaration oflndependence saying "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life ... " Propelled by this belief, Operation Rescue strives to be heard by Congress and change the rulings made by the Supreme Court that approve the killing of the unborn. Since the Roe vs. Wade decision on Jan. 22, 1973, more than 28 million pre-born babies have lost their lives. The single most reason why these innocent victims have lost their lives, according to the Right to Life Council of San Diego, is that the baby was an inconvenience or embarrassment to the mother. Many people cry, "What about the rape victim? What about when the mother's life is threatened?" A 1989 story from The Boston Globe reported abortions for rape, incest and danger to the mother's physical health account for only about 7% of abortions in the United States. That leaves 26,040,000 abortions done for inconvenience or embarrassment.

So why are we imprisoning people who arc seeking to change laws and put a halt to this action by peaceful, non-violent means? Haven't we learned anything from King, Gandhi, and Thoreau?

Education is an important goal for new Miss San Marcos

By Traci Rossman Assistant News Editor For three months straight, 11 women ages 17 to 23 competed for the title of Miss San Marcos. Over and over, they practiced walks and turns. Like Miss America contestants, they modelled sportswear and expensive gowns and were judged on their performance of an original speech. In addition, each one was interviewed by three judges on her goals, her dreams, her values, and her opinions on world issues.

Finally, on Feb. 11, first prize was awarded to Palomar's own Olivia Carmelina Morlacchi. At 5 feet 5 inches tall, the lovely 20year--old Morlacchi will compete in the Fairest of the Fair Pageant at the Del Mar Fair, a preliminary to the Miss California Pageant.

As the new Miss San Marcos, Morlacchi must attend at least three of the city sponsored events per week. These include'S undowners' (City Chamber Meetings), ribboncuttings (openings of new businesses), charity functions, chili cook-offs, and classic car shows.

When decked out in her gown, crown, and banner to attend a city function, she never walks by herself. "For safety reasons," she explains, "I always go with one of the runners-up or my date."

All of this running around is in addition to her 18-unit, Monday

through Friday school schedule.

"I also have friends, my boyfriend, my family and homework," she explains. "It takes up a lot of my time, but it's a great opportunity for me."

For Morlacchi, the whole point of doing this is to represent her city.

She considers herself lucky to be able to attend city functions and meet prominent city officials like Mayor Lee Thibideau.

Of course, Morlacchi is delighted with her current title. Although she does not expect to become Miss California or Miss USA, she says that if she receives such honors she will certainly do her best.

"It would be great if it happened to me," she says,"but my first ambition would be to finish my schooling and get my career."

To Morlacchi, a good education is essential. Fluent in Spanish, she is in her third year pursuing her B.A. in bilingual studies. A student of Palomar's bilingual teachers program, she volunteers six hours a week at Alvin Dunn Elementary in San Marcos, teaching language and math to 5 and 6-year-olds. Eventually, Morlacchi hopes to be an elementary schoolteacher to bilingual children.

With her obvious modelling potential, what lured Morlacchi into teaching?

"I enjoy working with children,

and being able to speak Spanish is an asset," Morlacchi says. She especially likes children because, she says, "They'realways so happy and affectionate; they make you feel happy, too."

She adds, "I don't think I want to stay with it(teaching) for my whole life ... .I just want to have another option in case I decide I don't want to stay in teaching." Yet, by the time Morlacchi changes careers, she hopes to married.

Actually, Morlacchi just wants to be an average lady. She finds comfort in everyday activities.

"I just like to do what everybody else likes to do, you know .... I like to go shopping, be with my family, and go out with my friends."

When Morlacchi and her friends go to concerts, she insists on love songs, soft rock, and Top40s music - never heavy metal.

A resident of Coronado Hills in San Marcos, Morlacchi lives with her parents and her older brother.

Around the house, she says, "I just help out as best I can." She describes her family as very closeknit, always planning family activities and spending time together.

Morlacchi hopes to transfer to the new California State University San Marcos next Spring.

"I enjoy working with children ... They're always so happy and affectionate; they make you feel happy, too."

New Miss Teen San Diego believes winning is an attitude

By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer "My friends were telling me 'Go for it, I know you will win,' " remembers Palomar College Student, Stephanie Luzko. "But it seems like you always hear this support, so I didn't really pay attention to them."

The judges were paying attention last February 25th, however, as they awarded Luzko the crown and title of Miss Teen San Diego.

The pageant, which took place at the Scottish Rite Center in San Diego, was Luzko's second such competition. She had entered 's Teen Beauty Pagmore than a year ago when lived in Los Angeles.

Frankenstein waves his arms up and down, while slowly lifting his knees, one after the other. All of a sudden his pants drop, underneath his black garb, he wears red and white boxer shorts. Frankenstein begins to blush. The Blushing Frankenstein is just one of 30 clastoys from the 40s, 50s and 60s on display at the Palomar College library through March 30.

All of the toys on display are battery-operated, made from tin can materials and some plastic.

"They no longer make these toys

because of safety reasons, increased labor costs, inflation and the fact that they weren't as cost effective as the plastic ones coming out of other countries," said Library Manager Jane Murrey.

Most of the toys have three or more actions that take place in sequence, while the smaller ones have one or two." These toys have more actions than the plastic toys of later years because of the intricacies of their motors," said Murrey.

Most ofthe toys need to be warmed up before they start their actions.

The majority of the toys are manufactured in Japan, except for The Marx Co., and The Hubley Co. which are American. The Hubley Co., was the manufacturer of the Mr. Magoo Car in 1961.

"These are really fascinating to look at," stated Murrey. "It is really unusual to find this many

toys in thi!t good of a working condition."

Some of the other toys on display include a 'Nutty Mad Indian,' who pounds his drum, sticks out his tongue, and shakes his head in an up-and-down motion.

Also on view is a James Bond Aston Martin as seen in 'Goldfinger and Thunderball.' Wind-up toys are being displayed as well in a case next to the battery-operated toys.

Along with the display are books that describe the tin toys and their wind-up counterparts. The collection was donated by Murrey's father Wendell R. Byrne, a retired grocer from Chico, Calif.

"These toys are extremely valuable because they are in perfect working order, plus they all have their original boxes with the original price tag intact," adds Murrey.

McCartney's success grows C!)ncert plan with new 'Flowers in the¡Dirt'

By Cris Fraser Assistant News Editor "Flowers in the Dirt," Paul McCartney's first new studio album in nearly three years,could be the album that hurls the liverpudlian singer, song writer and producer back to the top of the charts .. McCartney has outdone himself this time, turning out an album jampacked with songs that rock the socks off of his 1973 classic, "Band on the Run." "My Brave Face," the first single, has been amild hit for McCartney since it entered the charts last year.

The song is the story of a man's frustrating and unsuccessful struggle to pick up the pieces of his broken heart and shattered life after his girl leaves him. She has been gone for some time. Yet, as the song says, he still has "the sentimental inclination not to change a single thing." McCartney co-wrote this song with Elvis Costello. McCartney and Costello also collaborated on three other songs that appear on "Flowers in the Dirt"; "You Want Her Too" (in which McCartney sings lead while Costello backs him up), "That Day is Done," and the hauntingly mellow "Don't Be Careless Love."

Two songs highlight the album: "Figure of Eight" and "This One." If there is such a thing as a "McCartney song," then these two are.

"Figure of Eight" is about a man who is endlessly going around in figure-eights because he is madly in love with a woman. The music is 'bluesy", making it a perfect song to cruise down a deserted highway with.

The music will make you nod your head to the beat and play air-drums on your steering wheel.

"This One" is a song for all those people who hesitate to listen to their instincts or to follow through with their impulses. The music in this song is uplifting, the lyrics poetic and the message clear and true. In "This One," McCartney points out that there is no better time than the present to say 'I love you' to a

loved one because the opportunity to do so might never come again.

There is variety in "Flowers in the Dirt." Although almost all of the songs on the album are 'lovers' ballads," McCartney throws in a couple of non-love story songs that balance out the rest of the album. One such song is "Put It There," which has a delightful, perky, countryfolkish, toe-tapping beat. The chorus says: "Put it there if it weighs a ton. That's what a father said to his young son. As long as you and I are here, put it there." In a special edition of the TV program "48 Hours" three weeks ago, McCartney said that when he was a child, his father often told him to "put it there, kid." The song's music and lyrics do have a sweet, nostalgic quality to it.

McCartney also includes an interesting piece titled "Ouest de Solei!" (Where is the Sun). The entire song is a repetition of three short lines in French that roughly translate to "where is the sun, in my head, you work."

Even if the lyrics do not make sense, the techno-funky music more than makes up for it.

"Flowers in the Dirt" features McCartney's nameless band. The Pretenders' Robbie Mcintosh is on lead guitar. Hamish Stuart, formerly of The Average White Band, plays guitar and bass. Chris Witten, of the Waterboys, Julian Cope and Eddie Breckell are on percussions, Paul Wickens (who played with Eddie Breckell and the New Bohemians) is on keyboards, and McCartney's wife, Linda, sings and plays keyboards. McCartney has assembled a marvellous array of musicians to form a powerhouse band that has all the talent and energy to help hold the album together.

Despite his numerous previous successes as a solo artist, the public still thinks of McCartney as the "cute Beatie," an image McCartney has tried to downplay for years. Finally, the record will be set straight. "Flowers in the Dirt" is not a Beatlesque album; it is McCartney's creation. It displays his independence and his own taste, talent and flair forturning out great hits. The Beatles are in the past; the present is "Flowers in the Dirt" and Paul McCartney.

needs analysis

By Kathy Hines Staff Writer Neo 99's Promotions Director, Carly Star and Program Director Kevin Fry, have proposd a 10-hour concert to Palomar College Administration.

The radio station staff hopes the event will take place on campus MayS. If the concert is approved, it is planned to be held on the golf driving range, from mid-day until 9 or 10 p.m. Bands for the event will include local groups, as well as a popular group as the main attraction. The decision about which celebrity group will play in the concert is still up in the air at present.

Star is currently working on details with Kevin Hellman, of "Backstage Entertainment," a professional promotion company.Hellman,aformerpromotions director for Palomar College radio station says he understands what Star needs for the concert plans, and will accommodate them. "Backstage Entertainment" will bring in the popular group, provide security, and hotel accommodations. Neo 99, will team with theASG,tofinancially host the concert, and do the groundwork.

Although security will be

brought in by the promotional company, Palomar's Director of Student Activities, Jim Bowen is concerned about the situation.

"My main concerns for the concert are, the students, security and liability suits. It (the concert) will be harder to control since it will be up in the golf driving range. " Bowen also expressed interest over finances. "Because we would be turning over the concert to an outside promoter, it would be more of a benefit to them, not to the students. They will be the ones most likely to make a profit out of it."

But Neo-99's Star would like to get involved as much as possible, and not just take a back-seat to the promotions company. "We will be out there selling Neo-99 accessories, Palomar paraphernalia, and refreshments ... We want to go all out on this if it is approved." Student response for the event is also needed," said Star.

The concert, planned to entertain 3,000 to 4,000 people, will need campus support. "We are not doing this for ourselves, we're doing it for the school and we will need their backing too.We want students to taste a

But the new wrestling coach, Roye Oliver, "Because of wrestling I got a chance to who has been at Palomar for the last two travel all over the world to see different years, did something that has been done very cultures and continents," remarked Oliver, "I rarely.

"From there countries" As a father of two, Oliver's globe trotting I went on to college to wrestle for Arizona State University." It was there he got in- days are over, but the Californian wrestling

circuit offers enough attractions and distractions to keep him busy. The next season after the 1988 championship, which incidentally netted Oliver the Coach of the Year award, the Comets encountered some unforeseeable circumstances.

A star wrestler's broke his arm and another athlete decided not to compete for the last week because of some personal problems.

Yet the Comets were ranked number one at times and ended up in fourth place in the state.

"We still had a good se~son, "said Oliver.

"And at the finals we missed second place by only two points."

Like the San Francisco '49ers, who spend a lot of money to make a great team better, Oliver spends time recruiting to make a good wrestling team better. He went to Stockton in Northern California during a big meet for high school wrestlers. But unlike the '49ers who can recruit from all over the country, Oliver has to be content with what he finds in San Diego County.

"Unfortunately when coaching at Palomar, there are only certain kids you can talk to," said Oliver. "I can only talk to kids from the San Diego area. I can't talk to a kid from L.A. There are a lot of prom ising kids up there, but it's against school policy to talk to prospects from out of the county."

But Oliver is not a man who dwells on things he should or could have had. He has full trust in San Diego County's wrestling program and future athletes.

"I feel confident," said Oliver. "We have another chance ofkeeping Palomar one of the most dominant ·community colleges in the state.

"San Diego County has a good children's wrestling program that is going strong and they feed into the high schools, and eventually they end up wrestling for colleges,"said Oliver.

"San Diego will always be there when it comes to wrestling. Palomar will always be there."

Comets baseball team safe in third place

By Ken Baurmeister Sports Editor The Comet baseball team's season is like a roller coaster ride. It's up, then its down and you don't know where it is going next.

After losing to Grossmont on March 10 by a score of 11-3, the Comets beat Longview College 5-3 on March 13.

Out-of-town guests, Longview College is from Kansas City, Missouri and is making a whirlwind tour of the conference playing Palomar and then on the next two days San Diego Mesa and Southwestern.

"Brady Bentley (a left-hander) was our winning pitcher," said Comets' assisting coach Mike Abruzzo. "He went six innings.

Then John Uglow pitched two and Robert McLeod pitched one."

The hitting came in part from Ronnie Kelley, who doubled, and Jon Robirds, who doubled driving in a run. In the first inning the Comets score three runs on a combination of errors, walks, and ground balls.

With this win the Comets better their overall but not the conference standings. "We are 3-4 in conference play and 8-11 overall," said Abruzzo. "Wearetwogamesoutof first behind MiraCosta and Grossmont.

Netters digging themselves hole Comets

streak towards repeat

By Rich Donovan Sports Writer "We are having a big problem getting those last points to win games and eventually matches," said men's volleyball coach Duncan McFarland about last week's losses to Orange Coast College and Long Beach City College.

On Wednesday night the Comets went away to Orange Coast College and suffered a 15-7,15-11 and 1513 loss because "our defense was terrible," said setter James Coney.

"We couldn't block anything and if your blocking is bad then you have trouble digging and passing. Our whole game was off," he added.

Coney, an All-C.I.F. player (California Interscholastic Federation) in his senior year at Mount Carmel High School, is presently the starting setter for the Comets in his first year at Palomar.

In last Thursday's practice Coach McFarland had the team working on blocking and defense because "we only had four blocks versus defending state champions Orange Coast," said McFarland.

The next night the Comets played Long Beach City College and did a better job blocking, butcouldn 'tget the final points necessary to put the game away. They ended up losing by a close score of 8-15, 16-14, 815, 15-11 and 15-12.

"We blocked much better (12 blocks this time) and our overall defense and offense was much stronger, but at crucial times we hit mental lapses which cost us the match," said hitter Dave Delaney.

The Comets won the first game versus Long Beach and were up 146 in the second game, but couldn't hold their lead. The Vikings rallied for 10 unanswered points to win.

"We played real hard and then let our intensity down, which ended up costing us a critical game in the match. This has also been a problem- with us in the past." said McFarland.

The same type of thing happened again in the fifth game. The Comets were winning 12-4 but let Long Beach off to a 11-1 run. They had lost their fire and intensity once again.

McFarland attributes the breakdown in intensity to lack of experience on the team. "We are going to have to develop some experience real quick because there are a lot of teams in Los Angeles and Orange County with experience," added

knowledge and experience they need."

Although Zelasko wants an education, there are many oppurtunities that come her way."Sometimes opportunities come along and you start itching, you want to get on with your career. I feel like I'm doing an internship, but I'm on the air," says Zelasko.

One of Zelasko's favorite parts of her job, besides helping commuters, is talking with the different air personalities. "I love talking with Oz(91X) and Doug Ingold(Y95).There are surveys which say people don't want to hear DJ's talk, but I disagree. I think if you listen to a certain DJ all the time, you want to hear what they have to say."

Zelasko graduated from San Pasqual High in 1984. She recently married her high school sweetheart, Mark Pierucci.

Hopefully we will achieve student response," said Star.

Although some of the local bands rriay be students of Palomar, everyone is invited to attend, not just Palomar students. The possibility that the audience will not be a majority of Palomar students is there.

"Since the concert will be on a Saturday, I'm afraid that most students will not want to drive back here on a weekend. We want this mainly for Palomar students."

With an open invitation, Bowen said it is suspected that Palomar will attract a big high school crowd, and it will be harder to control the noise level.

"We have a lot more control if it

is just our students doing the promoting, and not from the outside" He used the airband competition as an example, "I thought the [Neo 99 and ASG] airband was great. That was the best thing they have had since I've been in this position."

The concert is designed to promote school spirit, fun, and Neo 99.

According to Star, "It's good for students to be involved with school activities.

"We already have good response from our Lip-Sync Airband Contest. We feel we really have something here." · The Administration does not recommend the idea of an outside promoter, mainly due to concerns over the students, liability, city relations, and damage. However, they are still looking into the idea and are willing to compromise.
