TEACHER REDUCES JOKESTERS TO PINT-SIZE!
By ROMAN KOENIG
Two students agitated their teacher with pranks so much that he shrank them to the size of Keebler Elves! "They're down to the size of Keebler Elves, and that's just the way Ilik:ethem!" exclaimedNeo-99 Adviser Russ Jackson, who shrunk the brats down after they put a bucket of eggs over the door of his office! The eggs fell on his head when he opened it. classes," added Chris Masters, the "I had to see to it that those two whippersnappers were made an example of, so I caught them and put them in my patented peopleshrinker machine," he madly continued. The people-shrinker machine Jackson developed is modeled after the one that shrank Mike Tee vee in the story "Charlie and the ChocolateFactory." "I saw it in the movie and read about it in the book, and I thought that it would be a very useful teaching tool in my classes," he said. "So I made one for myself, and it took me over seven years to complete it! Those two were the ftrst real people I shrunk, and thank heavens it work~!"
STUDENTS ACTUALLY IKE CHANGE OF SIZE!
PINT-SIZED Matt Watkins was shrunken after a practical joke on instructor Russ Jackson! ,
Jackson says that whenever students in his class misbehave or come in late to class, he takes the two shrunken men and holds them in his palm as an example of what will happen to any student who shows disrespectful behavior. "It's. quite effective," he added enthusiastically. "You know, these guys thought that they were really cool dudes," he continued. "But I showed them who was boss and put them in their places!" "We are cool," shrunken student Matt Watkins slyly replied. "We may be small, but the prank was worth it. Being the size of a Keebler Elf is a total trip!" "Hey, man, we've got our own cage with food and we're really popular with the people in his
other shrinking victim. Jackson says that the two will be extremely useful to Palomar's radio station, Neo-99. "They can help us in the area of public relations," he said. "I think they would do very well doing intricate work on some of the complex electronic equipment." "And they're so cute being so little!" exclaimed an enthusiastic Carly Starr, Neo-99's public relations director. "They're the perfect size, they have great personalities ... Oooh! They're just perfect!" "I assured the parents that their sons are in no danger," commented Jackson. 'They're getting their education, they're being treated humanely, and they will be enlarged to their original sizes at the end of the school year." The guys, themselves, are in no hurry to be returned to normal. "I could stay this way forever!" concluded a content Watkins. "It's a totally radical existence!" "As long as I have my buddy Matt with me, I won't mind it either," added Masters. "The only problem is that we can't get girls because of our sizes." "They shouldn't worry," Jackson calmly said. "It's a two-way street for them. If they're patient, they'll have all the girls they want when they are returned to their natural sizes. Or, on the other hand, if any woman in my class just so happens to push me over the edge like those two runts did, they'll get their opportunity early."

PRESIDENT GRAPPLES HUNGRY CROCS FOR NEW .PAIR OF BOOTS! By LARRY BOISJOLIE
During the week he's a mild-mannered superintendent/ president, but on the weekends, he's a vi.cious killer of giant crocodiles! Every weekend for the past 17 years, Dr. George Boggs has been traveling to the rugged Australian outback in search of the killer reptiles so he can add a new pair of crocodile-skin boots to his famous collection of cowboy boots.
such beast was the 'Melbourne menace,' a forty-foot-long monster that savagely munched half of the thriving metropolis's population. "It was a big sucker," recalled Boggs. "It was as large as a Winnebago with razorsharp teeth that were about twelve inches long!" Boggs finances his trips down-under with
"I want to have a pair of boots that would make Imelda Marcos turn green with envy," commented Boggs. What started out as a "quest for the perfect boots" has turned into a dangerous and exciting hobby for Boggs. "It's no longer the having that's important," said Boggs. "It's the getting!" An avowed environmentalist, Boggs said he only goes after crocodiles that are known to be man-eaters and threats to society. One

"They've taught me all kinds of neat dances, and I've taught them the two-step. It's quite a cultural exchange actually!" Even though most crocodile hunters use guns and knives in fighting the creatures, Boggs said he prefers the bare-handed approach. "Guys who use weapons are wimps," said Boggs. "I prefer the method developed by George Bush!" Boggs said he first developed an interest in fighting large reptiles after watching an old Tarzan movie staring Johnny Weismuller. He said he liked the way the macho jungle-dweller fought the beast hand-to-

hand. In his encounters, Boggs has received only minor injuries. "The 'Perth predator' gave me quite a bout," cited Boggs. "He nearly bit off my right leg!" Even though Boggs has been slaying the giant beasts for nearly two decades, he still has not found a hide worthy of his boot collection. "I need to find a croc' that has relatively thin skin. Most of the monsters I've conqueredhave just been too scaly," he steamed. According to Boggs, the popular movie "Crocodile Dundee" was based on his life story. He said he turned down the leading part because ofhis responsibilities as superintendent/president. "Paul Hogan did a good job in the part," he said. "He even looks a lot like me!"

Today, orbiting around Palomar College,,are two of the college's satellite campuses. The Pauma satellite and the Escondido satellite are about 200 feet above the college going
around and around! What are they doing here, and what is their purpose? Palomar student Honcho Dubois described them as "two moons orbiting their own planet." "We have been trying to make contact with them, but they are not responding to our efforts," said President/ Superintendent of Palomar College, Dr. George Boggs.
"We think that all of the students and teachers who were in class at the time of takeoff are stuck up there," said Boggs. Shannon Sullivan, a lifetime student at Palomar College who also attends the Escondido Satellite, blurted out, "I wish I was up there with them . I think it is totally cool that they are learning in space. "Maybe they'll beam me up," she hinted. Sullivan's mother, Kathy Sui-
!ivan, also a Palomar student, had a different view on the situation, screaming, "This is an outrage! How do they e~pectnew students to attend classes way up there?!" No one seems to know how this happened, or why. The FBI and the CIA have been on the scene since about 6 a.m. this morning. CIA agent Frederick Bronson said, "There seems to be some shield around the satellites, so we can't penetrate from the air." Helicopters have been hovering over the two satellites since 10 a.m. this morning in an at-
tempt to rescue students and teachers, but with no luck. FBI agent, Borus Hobbs, said discreetly, "Russia thinks we're up to something, but we're at a total loss ourselves." At press time, there were too many students and staff standing around with eyes toward the sky, completely bewildered. Many have their own speculations as to why this event has occured. Some like it, some fear it, and some don't think about it at all. This reporter is defintteiy sticking with this story.

They felt somewhat relieved when it ran out of eggs, and instead, started devouring the green lawn by the flagpole. Crowds of students gathered around to watch the spectacle. One psychology instructor said, "The power of the mind is incredible. Mr. Ebert must have been thinking about spring break and looking forward to Easter."
As the crowd grew larger and louder, the giant bunny rapidly returned to human form. Its white fur changed back into clothing and its fuzzy ears disappeared. Moments later, Ebert was normal again and on his hands and knees. All at once, he stopped nibbling on the grass and stared at his audience. He stood up, and with a wide grin on his face proclaimed, "Just call me Ebert bunny. How's that for a demonstration of a human genetic mutation?"

An unseen force of evil is terrorizing the Palomar College Community Theatre! Yes, the theater has its very own Phantom, and he is wreaking havoc on the set of "The Merry Widow!" "I thought I was going to die!" exclaimed frantic leading lady Mary
J aeb after 20 sandbags fell within inches of her during a dress rehearsal two weeks ago. "They just appeared out of nowhere," she said. The sandbag incident is just one of many near-deadly pranks that the Phantom has played on the cast. The most dramatic attack occurredonMarch 16, when The Phantom posed as Dr. George Boggs during the" A Night in Paris" openingnight ceremony for charity. In fact, thefirst-everphoto of the masked prankster was taken at the reception while he was posing as Dr. Boggs and talking to "Merry Widow" director Pat Larmer. "I was sure I was talking to Dr. Boggs," said a surprised Larmer. "He sounded just like him, he looked just like him. Everything about him was pure Boggs right down to the cowboy boots!" Photographer Alison Lake said shivers ran up and down her spine when she realized that the image on the photograph was not of Dr. Boggs! "This photo is one for my personal record books," said an elated Lake. "I never thought I had the ability to photograph apparitions like The Phantom!" As a result of' her surprise shoot, Lake says that she is now seri-
ously considering a career in photographing spirit phenomena. According to Larmer, The Phantom has been making mischief at the theater since rehearsals for "The Merry Widow" began. In fact, all pastattemptsatphotographing or capturing the evil theater-dweller have failed. Jaeb is scared for her life. She claims that The Phantom has threatened to kid-

"After opening night I was alone in my dressing room," she nervously explained to The Tellascoop, "when I heard a knock at my door. Naturally, I thought it was Dan (Leal), my co-star. "Well, I opened the door and in came the whoosh of a black cape, . . . it was The Phantom! He cornered me and tried to grab my arm. He said, 'Come with me to my home and whisper sweet lines to me!' "Then Dan came just in time. In a black whoosh The Phantom just disappeared, and I haven't seen him since!"
Leal says that The Phantom gets very jealous of anyone who comes close to her. "He loves her, but I know she doesn't love him," he said. "Last Saturday, as a matter of fact, The Phantom's invisible hands tried to choke me as I courted Mary's character on stage right in the middle of the performance!" He complained that the grip around his neck was so strong he almost fainted on stage. He tried to pry the invisible hands from his neck, but to no avail. "It was pretty embarrassing," quivered a frustrated Leal. In yet another performance
lastFriday, ThePhantomappeared on stage and threatened the audience. "He told us that he has put a curse on this show," cried Peter LaMancha, who saw the show that night. "I heard that on Saturday, one of the actors was choked on stage." Witnesses of The Phantom's timely appearance that night were then scared out of their seats as he bawled out a deep, baritone laugh, the lights dimmed, and a huge crystal chandelier appeared and hovered over the panicking crowd. As he laughed, the chandelier fell and the Phantom was gone, just as the gargantuan collage of glass and metal hit the stage and disappeared as ~

well. "Curse or no curse, we're still going on," a defiant Larmer bolstered. "Besides, I don't believe in thathokeypokey stuff, anyway." Since the climax of activity last week, no other incidents have occurred. However, both the cast and crew remain weary of the ghostly intruder. "We know what he can do," said Jaeb, determinately. "We are ready for him, whenever he comes back. I'm not afraid of him anymore because I know he can't really hurt us. After all, the show must go on." Tellascoop April1, 1990

By request of Botany Instructor Wayne Armstrong, the theater and music departments are collaborating on a new show, the "Pied Piper," to rid Palomar of its rat problem. The rats, discovered in the botany department rooms that include LS-2 and Armstrong's office, reportedly have eaten botanical specimens. Armstrong explained that he not only lost seeds for the cultivation of botanical specimens, he has lost a giant 50-foot squirrel captured last year to the rats hungry tongues. "I loved that squirrel," lamented Armstrong. Armstrong finally requested

the performance because life science students began using rats as an excuse for lost homework and damaged books. "The rats ate it," students kept telling him. Music instructor David Chase is heading the musical composition. Although Chase has kept the score secret from those outside the music and theater departments, the butcher of his secretary's aunt told the Tellascoop exclusively that he was putting it to a Russian tempo.
Chase is on tour now in the Soviet Union with the La Jolla Symphony Chorus, so confirmation is almost certain. The final score will be FAXed two hours before the performance to ensure the secrecy is kept and the rats do not eat the sheets of music. Musician Claire I. Net feels that seeing the score so close to the opening night is pushing it, but is confident that Chase's music will inspire her to play her instrument with flair and excitement, and with
no mistakes of course. The performance will take place April31 at 8:30p.m. Unlikeother musical performances, this production will not be held in the campus theater. Instead, it will be a traveling production. This is to ensure that all the rats will hear Chase's entrancing Russian piper music and follow. "I've ordered special boots for the audience to wear," said Armstrong. "This way the rats won't eat their feet like they ate my final exam answers ... we will also have

electric carts for those unable to walk for a long time." The ending of this show has not been staged yet. Palomar officials are still considering all the options of where to put all the rats once they've been caught. "We don't want them to end up as huge, 50-foot rats, like the squirrels were," said Armstrong. "Maybe transporting them to the new state university in San Marcos will be good. They can deal with it."

Schnelker claimed she saw Elvis and two space aliens emerge from a neon-green spacecraft that landed on the campus football field last Saturday evening. She was overwhelmed when Elvis actually spoke to her and told her that he was on a concert tour, traveling from one galaxy to another. Schnelker was star-gazing through the campus observatory's telescope late Saturday night when she observed the huge, saucer-shaped craft floating across the night sky. "I got really excited because I knew it had to be a U.F.O.!" said Schnelker. "It was my first U.F.O. sighting!" Schnelker watched as the mysterious craft circled above the campus. She dashed out of the observatory and watched in amazement as the saucer landed on the football field. Then Schnelker stopped a few yards from the football field and hid behind a nearby trash can. She spied an unidentified Campus Patrol officer placing a ticket on the illegally parked space saucer. The officer then calmly walked back to the Campus Patrol office as if he had not seen the space craft. "I couldn't believe it!" Schnelker exclaimed. "He acted like nothing was happening!" Minutes later, Schnelker heard music coming from the saucer. The same five musical notes were repeated for about20 seconds. "At first I couldn't figure out what the music was," said Schnelker. ''Then it suddenly dawned on me that those were the first five notes of the chorus of 'Viva Las Vegas!"' When the door of the saucer opened, Schnelker beheld Elvis standing between two little green creatures whose faces resembled Dick Clark. "It had to be Elvis," cried Schnelker. ''I'd know that jewelstudded, bell-bottomed jumpsuit anywhere." Schnelker was astonished as she stood up from behind the trash can to approach Elvis and the rubbery-skinned aliens. When she asked the aliens why they had landed on campus, they replied that they had come to refuel their ship and requested some of the Palomar Cafeteria's soup of the day. "We heard on the Interplanetary News that it's the best space rocket fuel in the solar system," screeched one alien. Schnelker turned to Elvis, gawked at him for a couple of minutes, then inquired as to why he was flying around in a neon saucer with suspicious aliens. Elvis said he was touring the outside of the Andromeda Star System. Then Schnelker told Elvis that he had always been her idol. Elvis smiled, wiped his brow with a long white scarf that hung around his neck, swivelled his hips a couple of times and said: "Thank you. Thank you very much, ma'am." "Talk about a bedroom voice ... ," Schnelker sighed. Later she described her complete awe. "At that point, I felt like I was floating on air. I remember feeling light-headed and then everything just went black." She figured that all the excitement had simp! y been too much for her. Schnelker suffers from S.S.A.D., Sudden Swooning Attack Disorder, an incurable disease that affects 99.9 percent of female Elvis fans. It was almost dawn when Schnelker woke up and found herself lying in the middle of the football field. There was no sign of the spaceship, the two aliens or Elvis, but she noticed a Campus Patrol ticket pinned to her lab coat which cited her for illegally sleeping on the football field. In her right hand, she held a small piece of blue suede! Schnelker has given the material to The Columbia School of Scientific Research where it is currently being examined. The unknown Campus Patrol officer has yet to come forward to confirm Schnelker's story. None of the members of the Presley family were available for comments.

MICHAEL JORDAN FEARS PALOMAR PLAYER! By TENG MONTEYRO.
Can anyone stop Air Jordan? Dynamite Dave can!
The place, Chicago Stadium in lllinois, a crowd of 15,000 plus is stunned and saddened as Chicago Bulls guard and superstar Michael Jordan is held to a career-low five points for the entire game. When the dust settled, his counterpart, Dave "The Dynamite" Delaney from the Miami Heat and formed y of the Palomar Comets, had ripped the Bulls for 44 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds, two steals, and rumor has it that Delaney was spotted selling popcorn and souvenirs during halftime. Defensively, Delaney was responsible for frustrating Michael Jordan. "It was unbelievable and that's putting it lightly," said Bulls forward Scottie Pippen, who led the Bulls with 16 points. "I've never seen anybody manipulate Mike (Jordan) like 'Dynamite Delaney' did." Jordan, who by halftime was

Much to everyone's surprise, when Miami coach Ron Rothstein brought Delaney back to the line-up, strange things started to happen. At one point, while traveling down court, Jordan was so shaken up by the sight of his defender, that he tripped on his own shoe, rolled twice, and went out of bounds with the ball. The stadium crowd, at that point, started crying. Jordan was held scoreless for the entire second-half. As if things weren't bad enough, Delaney on the offen-
sive end scored 20 ofhis44 points in the the secondhalf,includingtwothunderousslams on Jordan. "We (the fans) were starting to wonder if the player in Jordan's uniform was an impostor," said William Whodunit, a Bulls fan. Philip lmcheap, another Bull's fan added, "We have seen the fall of Air Jordan." Miami Heat center, Rony Seikaly, described it best. "Dave 'Get that ball out of here' Delaney turned Michael 'get out of my face' Jordan to Michael 'Why are you crying, did someone take your lollipop' Jordan." Dave Delaney after a lithe com motion had only this to say "Hey everybody, I'm going to Disneyland! oh, hi mom!"The Heat, needless to say, won the game 199-99.

Vice President of the United States, J. Danforth Quayle III, told a dazed crowd recently a shocking fact about the fiftieth state. Quayle said, "Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is part of the United States that is an island that is right here." These startling words have set a new role for America's Vice Presidents: jesterdom. On arecentjunkette in the South Pacific, Quayle visited the capital ofAmerican Samoa, Pago Pago. The veep, who during the trek from Hawaii must have read the Sunday funnies, kept referring to the capital as "Pogo Pogo." He also told islanders there that, "You look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you have been, and as far as I am concerned, happy campers you will always be."
Later, when asked why he was saying odd things, the Vice President quipped, "Some people spend a lot of time thinking: should I do this or should I do that? I don't." Back on the mainland in an address to the United Negro College Fund, Quayle confirmed that he does not think. "What a waste it is to lose one's mind- or not to have a mind. How true that is." An aide to Quayle said that he does not think that the veep is from this century and the VP confirmed this when he said, "We all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century." Of all the Americans searching for a cure, none are looking harder than President Bush.
What is your opinion of food served in the cafeteria?
"I thought the problem with Dan was solved when I sent him to Central America and he held the flamethrower in the wrong direction," said Bush. On Quayle's trip to Asia, the President said to Quayle, "Dan, good relations with these Asian countries are very important to us- but I'm sending you anyway." In a darker moment the President mused over the prospect of Quayle being President, "Most Vice Presidents who have gone on to run for President have won- Spooky thought, ain't it?" According to Nancy Reagan's astrologer, an evil hex has been placed on the nation. The astrologer, wishing not to name names, would only say, "Someone named Ed placed the curse."
Prof. Aid Lang Zine Botany "I wish they would bring back the Timber Room, it was a great place to study females, oops, I mean flowers. I hate the stuff they are serving now, it either has vitamins, min..__ _ _ _ _ _ ___. erals, or Styrofoam in it. They had really healthy and nutritious food like Ding-Dongs and ice cream."

Š~~~[UJ~ HOROSCOPES Your impulsive nature forces you to tell your boss " take-this-job-and-shoveit". But don ' t let your blatant inconsideration ruin your career - good things could be ahead for you if you'd just stop ramming people around. With the Sun in your sign all month, and with a li ttle tact, this could be a good time for you. The first two weeks of the month, Venus and Mars are in your first house, and since both control your partnership and sexual appeal you'd better get a date while you still look somewhat decent
Yourmulti-faceted personality gets you into double-trouble again. You try to tell one of your infamous white-lies, but are caught with the goods. This month, remember to always clean behind BOTH ears. Venus and Mars are in convergence on the 16th of this month which makes you want to take a loved one (or two) to a remote island and once there, watch the 'Bowling-for-Dollars' marathon in your hotel room.
April is your best month yet. The full moon in Libra on the 9th puts you in rare form. You're more mentally unbalanced than you've ever been, so you might as well take advantage of it while you can. Be careful on the 12th, Security has heard a rumor that is was you who changed the time on the Clock Tower.
During the middle of the month Pluto is in your seventh house. This means that you 'd better stop barking and start communicating with the people that mean the most to you or, by April 16, the people who still care about you will all work at the IRS. Although Tauruses (not the cars) have a tendency to be a bit lazy , this month would be an excellent time to start a long overdue project. The full moon this week makes you more than amorous, but watch that bullish breath, you could give your loved one a heart seizure. Good days to use your horns are the 24th and 28th.
This month, you're feeling a lot more optimistic than your usual crabby self. The full moon in Libra this month makes you pinch those pennies in your clammy claws even tighter than you normally do. This month could bring that big promotion you've been looking for. On the 29th of this month you could find yourself in your favorite spot on the beach with that person you've been chasing all year, only this time, act decent so they won't run away.
This month Venus and Mars are in ultra-sensitive Pisces so Scorpions will feel the sting of every word spoken by an angry lover. But don't let that revenge meter go overboard you know they didn 'tmean it. This month you should be wary of strangers bearing gifts. Especially those gifts of a sexual nature, Scorpians are so susceptible to anything involving sex. Best days are the 18th, 19th and 26th.
By Madame Michelle JULY 23- AUG. 22 Lions should keep a low profile this month, although that is somewhat impossible for these roaring show -offs. Your insatiable craving for telling your love sweet-nothings could bring trouble.And don't foget to throw away those cases of Perrier you've been saving for those special occasions or you might be on the receiving end of a nasty lawsuit. Good days are the 19th and 20th.
NOV. 22- DEC. 21 On the 14th, Cupid slings arrows your way, but unfortunately, it's a dream and your Cupid turns out to be a marshall with an arrest warrant . But don't let it bother you, your sentence is re-liming the 'P'. Later in the month you'll find yourselfbogged down with responsibilities, but with your dynamic personality, you could easily persuade a Libra to do it for you.
This month Virgos are less than tactful when they find out their lover has soldoff their prized beer bottle collection and took the money from the sale to invest in an earthworm farm. If you'd be patient and stop your incessant nagging you might find out that not playing these little games could keep this relationship together. Later in the month, when the home life settles down, you might want to set some career goals. Good days for Virgo are the 6th and 7th.
April showers bring May flowers. This could be the motto for the sign of the goat this month. Early on in the month Mercury does flip-flops in Taurus, making this a bad time for goats to make any decisions or sign anything. Console your grief- try getting chummy with a Pisces or a Gemini. Towards the end of the month you will be feeling better. Best days for you are the 16th and 17th.
If your birthday is today ...
APRIL 1, 1990
Happy Birthday Fool!!! When you were born, you mother and father thought you were the best joke of the maternity wing. But you have found out through the years that having your birthday today has been an advantage. For instance, you can parkin any parking spot on campus and treat the ticket as a joke. The bills you receive can be perceived as another prank. Or the collection agency letter about your new car would be a big laugh. If you believe this, you are the biggest fool! The stars this month shows that you will be laughing while popping Rolaids after your peanut butter pizza lunch (your favorite dish) and then spend the evening alone watching reruns of Gilligans Island on your special bean-bag.
JAN. 20 - FEB. 18 You could be supersensitive this month when Venus and Mars enter Pisces, so use it to your advantage. Aquarians can be soooo creative if they'd just get of their laurels and do it. And stop worrying about that philosophy test next week, you're the only one in the class that has a clue to what's going on anyway (and hey, that even includes the prof.!) You will look and do your best on the 19th.
FEB. 19 - MAR. 20 This month you'll have the right baitto attract any fish in the sea. Venus and Mars are in your sign in the last two weeks of April, which makes you glow like the neon fish you are. But you could lose them all if you act like a clam. But let's face it your not as shy as they say you are. Why,youcan be as aggressive as a great white shark if someone crosses you. But, thankfully, you won't need to be a predator this month. Good days for you are the 16th, 17th, 19th and 22nd.
