ASG officers elected; turnout low

By Aaron Hirsch om Staff Writer One hundred and fifty students elected three candidates who ran unopposed in last week's student body election.

Sean Nix, president-elect, Jason Van Foeken, vice president-elect and Kevin Nesby, treasurer-elect will lead next year's Associated Student Government and administer the budget.

Jim Bowen, director of student activities, said he was disappointed that there were not more candidates running for student government.

"ASG members are going to try and change the election code to

allow more time to get candidates and more time to campaign," he said. The ASG has allocated $200 in their budget to help publicize future campaigns.

In order to be selected in an unopposed election, candidates need to earn a simple majority of the votes cast. Nix was selected with 130 votes while Van Foeken and Nesby received 138 and 136 votes respectively.

The 150 votes cast represented less than one percent of the student population.

Nix says he is looking forward to continuing many of the trends that began during the Weber administration.

"I want to continue the progress of the student center complex, and have more activities so students feel at home. Community college is an in between place where students spend two years or more, which is a long time, and students need to get involved."

The new president said he wants to see Palomar become an environmentally conscious campus. He plans to ask the Buildings and Grounds department to supply bins for aluminum cans and plastics.

"Not only should clubs participate, but staff and students need to help in the cause."

Nix will preside over his first government meeting on May 23.

Bookstore mavin' on up

By Todd Anderson Staff Contributor "Siberia" and "Hades" are a long way to travel to bring back books, but the employees of the campus bookstore go that distance for Palomar students. The campus bookstore has announced that it plans to expand to be able to store their books a little closer to home.

On May 2, Virginia Dower, director of the bookstore, presented the ASG with her proposal to expand the bookstore due to an overcrowding of books and students.

Since Dower's arrival in 1969, the bookstore has only expanded once, in 1975, to its present size of 5,000 square-feet.

The two phase proposal includes adding 6,000 square-feet to the rear of the bookstore and later a second story for office space and extra storage.

The project is still on the drawing board, but construction on the first phase is slated to begin on July 1, and should be complete before Spring of 1991.

The first phase will place 12 to 15 registers for textbook sales, an additional two to four for regular sales and two more for art supply sales. This will enable the bookstore to serve the students even faster without passing the cost on to students.

Dowers noted, "The project has been in the planning for three years and is just now being able to be realized."

The proposal includes a new double door entrance in

Impeachment proceedings against Associated Student Government Senator David Whitemarsh began Wednesday at the ASG meeting due to alledged violations of constitutional by-laws regarding meeting attendance.

ASG Senator Norman Plotkin called for impeachment of Whitemarsh after the senator missed his fifth governmental meeting. During the meeting, senate judicial advocates confirmed Whitemarsh's absences.

"It'~ not open for interpretation," said Plotkin at the meeting. "He hasn't performed his office. His duties include attending the meetings. He is not fulfilling his commitments."

At the meeting, some ofthe senators argued in favor of Whitemarsh saying that classes are more important; others sided with Plotkin's position.

Director of Student Services Jim Bowen agreed with the motion to dismiss Whitemarsh. "Class is no excuse," he said.

Whitemarsh said he informed ASG President John Weber, the senators and Bowen of his class commitments at the time of his appointment.

"I informed them that my studies were very important. I told them I could miss Wednesday classes for

'If our constitution and by-laws allow¡ vendettas, then I will ask for a recall.'

-David Whitemarsh, ASG Senator

the meetings but had to attend tests," said Whitemarsh.

According to Whitemarsh, Weber and the senators wishing to impeach him are experiencing "Reagan syndrome. Either they're falling asleep or they don't remember."

Deby McClellan, chief justice for the ASG, indicates that Plotkin may have requested the impeachment out of spite for Whitemarsh.

"Norm probably did this out of vengeance against David because of Dave's stands against his actions," said McClellan. "It seems ludicrous with only two weeks left that he would pull a stunt like this."

According to McClellan, Plotkin has been looking for reasons to dismiss Whitemarsh since early in the semester.

to promote day of Journalists grab 12 awards cancer awareness at annual state conference

By Laura Woolfrey Staff Writer Out of the 985,000 Americans who get cancer every year, 494,000 of those people die. To help make staff and students more aware of the early warning signs of this disease, Student Health Services is sponsoring Cancer Awareness Day on May 7.

A film and instruction on self breast examination, skin cancer screening, displays and information on all types of cancer, and mammograms will be offered on Cancer Awareness Day. All of these are free of charge except for the mammograms, which¡ will be $50.

Director of Student Health Services, Clarice Hankins said that she feels that .this is a good price because most mammograms cost about $150. At the time of which the appointment is made, the $50 payment is due.

From 10:30 a.m. -1 p.m. instructions on self breast examinations, accompanied by a brief video, will be given at Health Services on a walk in base only. Also at this time, displays will be shown and information will be provided on all types of cancer.

A dermatologist will be in front of Health Services from 10:30-1 p.m. screening for skin cancer. Last

year 35 out of 66 people screened were referred to their doctor because of abnormal findings.

Mammograms, given by the Women's Imaging Network, will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at Health Services. These IS-minute examinations will be by appointment only. Hankins said that it is best to make the appointment as soon as possible because there are a limited number of time slots.

To qualify for a mammogram examination a woman must either be at least 35 years of age, have a family history of cancer, or have symptoms of breast cancer, such as a thickening of the skin or lumps in the breast.

Health Services requests that those women scheduled for a mammogram wear a two piece outfit. Also it is mandatory that no deodorant, powders, or fragrances are to be worn because they interfere with the results. A name, address, and phone number of your gynecologist or family doctor is to be brought to the examination.

Student Health Services encourages all students and staff to take advantage of this life saving opportunity.

Said Health Educator for Student Health Services Connie Netzley, "Learning how to detect cancer's early warning signs could save your life."

By Amy Alexander Entertainment Editor The Telescope won 12 awards, this year, at the Journalism Association of Community Colleges State Conferences held in Fresno April18-20.

The newspaper competed in the mail-in competition and won fourth place in general excellence for a large college tabloid. The paper also took home another fourth place in its division in the layout category.

"I feel these awards establish Palomar as one of the premier forces in community college newspapers," said Mark Hopkins, the publication's editor-in-chief.

"This is the largest delegation of staff members Palomar has ever taken to a state competition," added Susan Deacon the newspaper's adviser.

Deacon said her staff went into the conference enthusiastically.

"Besides the thrill of competition, the event provided a learning experience for everyone."

News Editor, Larry Boisjolie won first place in the investigative news category for his series on the Signet Armorlite emissions occurring a block away from campus.

Siberia and Hades are two storage areas that the bookstore now uses, according to Deby McClellan, chief judicial advocate for the ASG. The store now stocks an estimated 80,000 books, consisting of 10,000 titles.

When both phases are complete, the bookstore will measure 13,000 square-feetDowerspointedout, "A school of our size should have at least 22,000 square-feet for the soon to be 30,000 students at Palomar."

Dowers also stressed, "The project will not cost the students anything. It will be paid for by bookstore sales." Bookstore sales totalled approximately $3 million last year.

Said Dower, "Since the store makes a profit, it cannot qualify for any type of grant (that is designed for building construction) from the state." The store is forced to finance the project itself.

She also stressed that the bookstore may have to apply for an out-

side loan in order to complete the project on schedule.

Dower continued to say that, "The project will not interfere with the normal operation of the school, nor textbook sales when school starts again."

"When complete, the new bookstore will be able to move students through the process of selling books at crunch time even faster."

She also pointed out that there are some things the students can do to make book buying easier. on themselves. "Two weeks before the semester begins" she said, "the bookstore is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. with a full staff."

The project will also have a new exchange window that will help speed up the process of returning books, as well as an express window for entire classes. Instructors will be able to bring their individual classes to the ewress window to pick up the books for that class, without having to wait in endless lines.

• Dower pointed out, "If more students would pick up their books before the semester started, they wouldn't have to wait in such a long line after school starts."

Whitemarch echoed McClellan's concerns, claiming the action was a "vendetta" against him. "If our constitution and \by-Iaws allow vendettas, then I will ask for a recall," he said.

Plotkin could not be reached for comment.

According to the constitutional by-laws, "Any Officer of the ASG who misses three consecutive or a total of five meetings shall be immediately disqualified by Presidential Proclamation."

Senator Mina Monfared said that Whitemarsh's impeachment was justified because he violated that constitutional by-law. .

"I believe that we have to go by the by-law and constitution. This is just a process. This is a necessary thing because he missed the meetings. We all have

responsibilities and classes. If there is ever an emer gency, we are supposed to contact John (Weber). Ht never has contacted him to notify that he will not bt present. He got what he deserved."

ASG Senator Lisa Hatch excused herself from th1 meeting early due, in part, she said, to the actions brough against Whitemarsh.

According to Hatch, members of the ASG were in formed of Whitemarsh's schedule at the time of his ap pointrnent.

Whitemarsh said that since not enough time is avail able for a student recall of the action, the impeach men is put forth in violation of good faith.

"The spirit of the law is at stake here," sait Whitemarsh.

Mandatory student body fees proposed to state CCs

By Larry Boisjolie News Editor FRESNO - Citing a need for increased student services, Student Director of the California Community College Trustees Association, Manuel Rincon Jr., presented a proposal April 21 to implement "mandatory student body fees" throughout the state's community colleges.

If approved by the state legislation, the plan's implementation would be contingent upon approval by a two-thirds majority of the student voting· population and the board of trustees of each college.

"Each individual district will have the opportunity to decide whether they see it fit to implement the fee," said Rincon.

According to Rincon, the fee would improve the quality of student life and build a stronger••collegiate community."

Monies garnered by the up to

$20-per student fee would provide funding for athletic programs, student activities, cultural programs andotherstudentservices. The fees would also be used to promote lobbying efforts by students to state legislators.

Acquired revenues would be added to the existing student government budgets, to be apportioned to various campus organizations.

The plan, which was presented to community college journalists throughout California at their state journalism conference, is similar to a program currently being implemented in the California State Universityand UniversityofCalifornia systems.

"If you were to compare staffing patterns, funding, student center buildings, programs and services; you would find a tremendous disparity between the UC system and the community colleges," Rincon said.

tion Code provides for a one dollar student fee, pending on student approval, but Rincon said more money is needed.

"We don't have enough money to send various teams, such as forensics and journalism, to various competitions," he said. "More funding can complement academic programs and enhance student activities."

Rincon said he has presented his proposal to several state legislators and received "favorable response."

However, he declined to comment on which representatives were approached.

According to the proposal, students unable to pay the mandatory charge could "work off the amount of the fee" at their colleges. No fees will be charged to students registering solely in extension classes.

Rincon said he is considering a revision to his plan which would exempt needy students from any fee responsibilities.

"The plan is not drawn up exactly how the bill would be presented," said Rincon.

Rincon said programs similar to his plan are currently being implemented successfully in community colleges throughout the country.

"I was surprised and shocked at the great variety of programs the fees have given them," said Rincon.

"It is difficult to meet student needs when funds are limited."

These new warriors defend and uphold, preserve and revere, respect and love life in all of its manifestations. They are the new conservationists, eschewing fearbased greed and unenlightened forms of self-interest for a vision of right relationship with nature, one born ofhumility and an understanding of the interdependence of all life forms in the vast and ever pulsating network of unfolding creation.

Brandishing the sword of discrimination, these warriors cut through and away that which was not needed to get that which was needed to make Earth Day the warm, mellow, informative, inspiring and fun-filled day that it was. To these warriors, and to all the students, staff and members of the public who participated in and celebrated Earth Day, I offer my thanks and gratitude.

Educators plant seeds of terror There are as many ways to sow the seeds of fear and competition in education as there are teachers. Our system of education gives students this message: "If you don't compete, you fail."

It is this fear of failure that motivates the American student. If the school system can implant this message in a child's psyche, a dark cloud of failure will loom over the child, pushing him or her on. If repeated enough, storms of "Try harder! Is that the best you can do?" will frequent the child's subconscious mind, according to psychologist Dr. Shad Helmstetter.

Educational researcher Jules Henry cites the spelling bee as a typical example of this. Henry observes that the child who cannot spell is laughed at. Embarrassed and humiliated, the child is motivated to study just so he can erase this label of inferiority.

Fearoffailureisclearly imposed by competitive sports. Kids are not being taught to strive for athletic excellence, but rather, for victory. It is not the student who practices the most, but the student who triumphs over his peers, who is rewarded.

Prestige alone is the major incentive to try out fora sport. To "make theteam"is toclimba few notches up the social status ladder.

It is rare for school sports to promote respect and comradery. The teams' main functions are cultural: to impose the attitudes "I am better than you" and "Our team is better than yours," two remnants of Nazi doctrine.

Another classic example of competetive motivation is the bell curve system of grading.

Educators rationalize that in any given group of

students, the majority of the students in the class are "average."

But in a diverse world, it is wrong to impose this theoretical model and assume that for each student that excels, another will fail. Still, use of the bell curve is widespread, forcing students to compete against each other for the limited amount of As and Bs. Much hostility and resentment stem from this type of grading. The familiar line "She got a higher grade than me!" is a perfect example of the way fear of failure produces envy among peers, driving them harder toward competition with each other.

In his address to the Association for Childhood Education, professor John Coe notes, "In the Western world, people are ambitious for success. This is why there is such an insistence on identifying failure."

One byproduct of this reasoning is the insane notion that we have to hurry up and get children ready to function as autonomous adults. Get the children in early! Push them a little harder!

Make sure they get high test scores!

"And if a child is very quick and good at learning," Coe mocks, "we can get him or her out of school early! The child can be accelerated!"

All too often we assess students to find out what they cannot do, not to find their strengths.

Such emphasis on test scores is unwarranted; the majority of public school tests involve only temporary memorization skills. Approximately 90 percent of the memorized material, be it vocabulary, mathematical formulas, or important dates in history, is usually forgotten within

Cultural! y, grades and test scores are all-im portant. On! y good grades can prove a student worthy and erase the label of"failure" from his name. So the average young American continues to eat the baloney that the school system has fed him.

In fact, many of my peers are products of such brainwashing. Their grades always take precedence over learning.

Just ask around campus. How many of your friends came to college to better themselves by becoming well-educated, quality people? On the contrary, how many came to get that piece of paper that will get them a better job?

"American education offers tOo many readymade answers," says Coe. Like their adult counterparts, American students are always looking for the easy way out.

"The best school, after all, is not the school where students know the most answers, but the school where they ask the most questions," adds Coe. Parents will inevitably ask, "How, then, can we measure our child's education?"

Coe' s response: "The community has to accept that learning is a subtle process and cannot be reduced to figures on a page."

So much of education, growth, and development is not measurable, especially in young people, he explains.

By far the most effective way to teach is to look for signs of progress. Only through advice, encouragement and direct instruction will students reach their highest potential.

FOR PALOMAR STUDENT, JUDGING IS A REALLY

UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE

By Kathy Hines StaffWriter Bulging muscle mass is not a prerequisite to be involved in the increasingly popular sport of body building. Judging can pump just as much excitement and knowledge.

D' Anne Whittington, a first-year student of Palomar College, says "Judging is asrewardingtothejudge as a trophy is to the competitor."

For the past six months, Whittington has been judging for the National Physique Committee, a nationwide, non-profit organization which promotes the sport of bodybuilding. The NPC is the arena where amateur competitors prepare for professional competition.

To qualify for a seat on the judges' panel, the candidates must go through three consecutive "testjudgings," where each person must receive a score of 85 percent or better.

On March 16, at the downtown Fourth Avenue California Theatre, Whittington test judged her third competition, which she hopes will lift her onto the official panel.

As compared to women's competitions, Whittington finds the men's class more challenging to judge. "There's more of them, there's more development, and more (Photos by Mark Kalani) muscles to compare," she explains. Often Palomar student D' Anne Whittington says that judging bodybuilding competitions times, there may be up to 15 men in one class. can be both educational and fun.

In contrast to the men's division, she says that the women "don't have such a high competition. With working and going to up to talk to you." amount of development.

Whittington says she will know what amount of people you have to judge," she Women can still be feminine while having judges will look for when she begins her adds.

However, if more time is needed to review a competitor, it is possible to ask the head judge to bring out the bodybuilder showing a selected pose.

The test judge's task is to place all contestants in the order of best development to least development. The top three morning winners are basically pre-chosen for the upbeat, musically enhanced evening shows. At that time, the official judges' panel picks the overall winners.

The largest prize amount an amateur of the NPC can win is $250 and trophies. Winning several amateur contests may lead to the professional IFBB competition. Professional status may also be obtained by petition or by an invitation to compete.

"It's more than just picking a winner," says Whittington. ''There's a great deal of concentration involved. It's fun, but six straight hours of concentration can get you really tired. There's no time to be distracted by Whittington believes that judging will help to prepare her for a professional bodylaughing~ the background or people coming building career of her own.

muscular, toned bodies.

"Femininity is a major issue, and most judges look for it in competitions to represent the women's class," she explains. "Before, the sport mostly attracted tomboy types," she continued. "But now, people are realizing that women can look good with muscular bodies ... Models are also participating to get into better shape."

Whittington would like to see more women compete, and would also like to see the el imination of steroid use.

"Not all of them use drugs, but the very few that do, give the sport a bad reputation," she explained.

The sport also has a reputation for pumping up ego monsters who are only concerned about themselves.

In contrast, Whillington says that bodybuilding develops comradeship. "I never have any trouble finding anybody to lend me a hand," she says. "If someone sees (that) you need help, they will be more than glad to spot you."

However, there are times when working out can be uncomfortable, especially if a person is the only woman in the gym.

Whittington said one of her most embarrassing moments occurred when she was doing full squats, and everyone started staring at her because they were not used to seeing a woman lift so much weight.

Another amusing time ¡for WhiLLington happened when she went to the gym with a boyfriend. While on the decline bench, she asked him to hand both of the 25-pound barbells to her. He said that they were too heavy for him to lift them both at the same time.

Although Whittington judges muscular men, she is not usually attracted to them.

She tends to favor nice smiles, but also notices a nice physique. She likes calves, too.

"Sometimes, when guys find out that I am a judge, they will ask me what I think about their bodies."

She explained that it also works in the reverse. "When you're a judge, people tend to check you out, and are critical. They want to see if you practice what you preach. They also want to know how much you lift."

Whittington says that, "How much do you lift?" is an irritating question, and that the general population does not realize this.

"There are so many lifting exercises for every part of your body, and every part can have many different variations."To make the question even more complicated, the amount of repetition must also be considered.

Whittington says that most people do not know the difference between an Olympic weightlifter, and a bodybuilder, who shapes his or her physique.

"Hopefully, soon; bodybuilding will also become an Olympic event...it would help people learn more about it."

Overall, Whittington says that body building is a friendly, fun sport, and judging is just as exciting and educational.

New club a 'friendly' addition to Palomar

By Nick Sherr StaffWriter F.R.I.E.N.D.S. is a new club at Palomar College where peers will help peers with their problems and issues, according to founder and President of the group, Debbie Van Buskirk. Some students are intimidated to go to teachers with concerns. Now she says, ••they've got someone else to talk to in the meantime." . , Van Buskirk, a ftrst-year student at Palomar, is working towards a degree in Psychology/Social Services. She says she was inspired about this concept of peers helping peers by her teacher in Introduction to Basic Counseling Skills, Cynthia Poole.

Van Buskirk said, "Mrs. Poole brought up the idea ftrst, then a friend (Tonia Winkle) and I developed it from there. We thought of other names like Peer Counseling, but it just didn't click for us."

Van Buskirk recapped what Poole told the class about the reason for a club like this, "Especially on this campus, there seems to be a lot of clicks. And if you're not in certain

groups, you're not with it. Also a lot of people on campus have problems and are dealing with various situations. So I think this club will help them to decide on things."

Van Buskirk presented theclub'sproposal to Palomar's Inter-Club Council in midMarch and it was accepted with a unanimous vote.

Mary Reynaga, Inter-Club Council Chairwoman said that, "F.R.I.E.N.D.S. was one of ftve or six new clubs that have started this year, Biosphere was one of the clubs and Students for Christ has been reinstated."

F.R.I.E.N.D.S., already has 13 counselors, including three officers: Van Buskirk, president and founder; Winkle, vice-president and co-founder; and Tom Blackwood, treasurer.

A secretary position still needs to be filled.

Van Buskirk said, "the counselors are not certified, but are students who are caring and have some kind of experience in psychology."

To protect the group legally, Van Buskirk and Winkle will train the counselors. ''There are certain laws we have to abide by, and that's part of the training. If someone comes

to you with a rape incident, it has to be told.

Whether you do that or you help the person do that, you've got to let them know that we have to tell," Van Buskirk added.

Van Buskirk said she would like F.R.I.E.N.D.S. counselors to attend on-campus Alcoholic Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and Overeaters Anonymous meetings.

Van Buskirk said student counselors will be available to set appointments, "so we can meet separately for additional counseling."

She explained that "these people from A.A. and N.A. come to speak on campus once a week and then they're gone. We're 13 people and are going to stay on the campus to follow-up with these people."

Poole thinks it would be a good idea for speakers from these groups to "address the club on campus so they can hear of the services available. I believe F.R.I.E.N.D.S. will not be a club (whose members) will impose themselves on students." Poole continued, "Until F.R.I.E.N.D.S. comes to fruition, I think they're going to be looking for creative ways of working with existing sup-

port groups to assist them."

"This group will be available to all Palomar students," according to VanBuskirk, "We're going to be confidential and we're going to help you out. And it's a group away from your set circle of friends, that you can always come to."

The 20-year-old president claims that she has wanted to do this kind of work ever since she could remember.

Van Buskirk concluded, "this is gonna sound really corny but this is kind of a calling, and I'm just following it.

"I would like to see a group of day and evening counselors going out and speaking with people; not just sitting inside a room, but going out."

Students interested in being trained to counsel, or who would like to speak to F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for help, can leave theirname and phone number, attention Debbie Van Buskirk in Room SU-21 next to the Student Lounge.

An experienced travel guide will then lead you through an 18-day excursion to Paris, Warsaw, and Russia.

Yvonne Anderson; a history of western civilization instructor at Palomar, will be hosting up to 30 people on such a trip.

The trip will consist of an overnight flight from San Diego to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, where the travelers will sec firsthand the restored old city that was nearly destroyed in World War II. In Warsaw the group will also see Zelazowa Wola Villa, the birthplace of Frederic Chopin, where they will experience his musical compositions. They will stay in Warsaw for three nights.

Then, they will fly to Leningrad and stay for four nights in the city built for Peter the Great.

studying photography and fine art during the summer semester of 1990.

Matthes said his photo portfolio was the deciding factor in his acceptance to Art Center and hi~ subsequent scholarship. Having taken nearly every Palomar photography class, he compiled a portfolio of his best work for consideration by Art Center's scholarship depa,rtment.

Matthes said he received the Art Center scholarship based on his diverse photo subjects and various printing techniques. The scholarship will pay $2,415 of the approximate $4,800 per-semester-fee for the duration of his bachelor degree program.

Matthes will be one of the 12,000 students at the College of Design, founded in 1930. Art Center is strictly a visual arts college. Curricula include 11 degree programs ranging from advertising, to graphics and photography. Graduate studies are also offered.

Gilson has Palomar orchestra playing in tune

By Joanna Demiter

StaffWriter The booming success of Palomar's Orchestra and Youth Orchestra in the past several years is not just a product of chance.

One instructor who has contributed to ¡ the Music Department's success is Associate Professor Robert Gilson.

"When I came to Palomar in 1973," says Gilson, "there was no orchestra, only a handful of Robert Gilson community members. In 1974 the small community orchestra, having 24 string players, was started."

When Gilson joined them usic department, he made a lot of phone calls to musicians and music teachers to convince them to join the orchestra. His efforts paid off.

"In the last eight years the orchestra has undergone

a significant change," said Gilson. "The average age of the orchestra members has dropped and the size of the orchestra has doubled. The quality of the players, especially strings, has increased dramatically."

In the fall of 1986, the new Youth Orchestra began.

Today, over 100 students are in the group.

The Youth Orchestra program was started to give young people a chance to perform and compete in a large group.

Gilson says that the program was designed to provide elementary ,junior high and high school students an opportunity to be involved in an orchestral group in addition to taking music classes at their own schools. The ages of the Youth Orchestra members range from 6 to 18.

To qualify for the orchestra, explained Gilson, the students must have private lessons at home, and pay a membership fee.

According to Gilson, the passing of Proposition 13 in the late 1970s drastically affected the quality of music and the arts in schools. Funds for the arts were cut in order to lower homeowners' taxes. Palomar was effected by the proposition, but has managed to pull through strongly.

Gilson added that music and arts programs are an important part of education, and that he makes every effort to support the growth of music whenever he can.

Q&A unmasks system's bias

By Michelle Pollino Entertainment Editor

Q & A is a film that picks up where Spike Lee left off in Do The RightThing. This film takes racism across the boundaries into our judicial system, where it lives and breeds. And the worst part about it is that it's an accepted racism that automatically and detrimentally divides the system.

Directed by Sidney Lumet, Q & A is the story of an idealistic assistant district attorney AI Reilly (Timothy Hutton) assigned to a case that is supposedly cut and dried. At least that's what Reilly's superior, Kevin Quinn (Patrick O'Neill) says.

A hood named Tony Vasquez has been shot by Lt. Mike Brennen (Nick Nolte), a legend on the New York City police force. Quinn tells Reilly that it's a clear case of justifiable homicide. He wants all the evidence on the Q & A, the official record tha! defines what happened at the scene of the crime.

When Reilly meets Brennen for the Q & A session we can clearly see the awe in Reilly's eyes. He believes what this man says not only because of who he is, but because he, like all the rest, automatically assume the Hispanic man

Nick Nolte in 'Q&A' carried a gun. What Reilly doesn't realize is his own prejudice and ethnic loyalty will soon swing around and slap him in the face.

Brennen is at the core of this prejudice. But, as we learn early in the film from one of Brennen's coworkers, Brennen isn't a racist; he hates everyone. Everyone else is racist. This fact, to the men and women of the 43rd precinct in downtown Manhattan is an admirable characteristic.

Reilly is assigned two dectectives to help him with the case.

Chappie, a black detective, who is very loyal to Brennen and to the force, and Luis Valentin a Puerto

Rican detective who loves his job.

When they find out that the deceased Hispanic that Brennen shot in self-defense was not carrying a gun, Reilly begins to question his loyalty and naivete.

His witnesses are Bobby Texadore (Armand Assante), a flamboyant Hispanic underworld figure, and Roger Montalvo (Paul Calderon), a homosexual stoolie.

Texadore is a man who can move in both worlds: rich and poor. He deals drugs for the mafia, yet he doesn't touch the stuff. He is an honest man but in the same respect he is heinous. His lover, Nancy Bosch, played by Jenny Lumet

Matthes

(director Sidney's daughter), was once involved with Reilly, which makes Reilly even more intrigued with Texadore.

When Reilly finds out that Brennen did kill him, and that Brennen killed him to further the political ambitions of homicide bureau chief Kevin Quinn, he goes to Leo Bloomfield, a lawyer with the New York County D.A.'s office, for advice. Bloomfield (Lee Richardson) is an honest man, but he's from the old school and won't rock the boat.

Lumet's lighting effects cast a dim and dingy light on police halls and to the extreme brightly lit mafioso homes and gay bars. While the characters fling ethnic slurs at one another like a food fight in a cafeteria (half in jest, half in hatred), we see the desperation of groups and races clinging together.

In the middle of this we have two figures: Reilly a sponge ready to . mop up this hatred, yet unknowingly and willingly going along with it, and Brennen, a soul of pure hatred and self-disgust.

Lumethasbrilliantlytakenalook at the workings of ethnic loyalty within the scope of the big screen, which is the perfect way to see this movie.

(continued from page 9) rate to say that they make themselves." He added, "Art Center guides its students' native abilities into work of power, discipline, and worth."

Matthes said he wants to apply his education to a career in commercial photography." It's where the money is." Beyond that, though, he said he sees the field as a blending of his two interests.

"It's actually a combination ofliteratureand photography ... a visual statement."

"I'd like to teach someday," Matthes added. He said the education he received from Palomar's photography instructors is invaluable. "But,"he went on to say, ''I'd need at least 10 years of experience in my field to teach well."

The photographer has already gained some experience and recognition. He won first place in the International Exposition of Photographers at the Del Mar fairgrounds in the summer of '89, and Photographic Annual Manual will feature his work this year. In 1989 he was photo-editor for Palomar College's annual publication, Bravura, a showcase for student artists, photographers and writers.

Age: advantage to tennis player

By Nick Sherr Staff Writer Palomar's number 2 women's tennis player has an advantage over her team-mates. She is twice their age.

Linda Breen,41, says her years of experience have helped her in tennis. She says her strength is "probably control. I try -not to get emotional when I play. Also, I'm pretty fast on the courts."

While competing against other colleges Breen noticed younger players don ' t concentrate as much orthey get emotional. They think too far ahead instead one point at a time.

An Escondido resident, Breen began playing tennis five years ago.

"I thought it would be really good exercise," she said. "I was kind of bored with aerobics, so I started taking lessons atthe "Y" and joined various North County doubles teams."

After about a year of playing tennis Breen started to win tournaments in North County. She said, "The first tournament I won was the Ace Cancer Tournament at Canyon Hills Tennis Club." She also placed in the Martin Luther King Tourna~ ment in San Diego.

Breen returned to school to play tennis and to take courses in real estate and computer programing.

She is carrying a 12-unit course load. She chose Palomar because, "I heard that Coach Nan Haugen was a really good coach. And I thought there would be more competition playing against younger players." Breen added that she hasn't been disappointed with her competitors.

Breen said, "I knew I was going to make the team, but didn't know where I was going to play and at what position." Since making the

team in early February, Breen has held the number 2 spot in singles play, and has also played on either the number 1 or 2 team in doub)es with fellow team-mates Jill Kaeser and Paula Heath.

She hasn't been disappointed with their attitude towards her either. "They view me as just another player. I have never noticed a difference in attitude from other players because of my age." There was on exception, added Breen, "occasionally one of the other players tease me about my age, but she was in her 30s."

Teasing aside, Breen added that playing on the team has been a benifit on the courts as well as off.

"Relating with the other girls on the team, with the lingo and all, has really helped me to relate to my kids. It'sgood tocomunicateacross generations."

Breen says her family is competitive and loves sports. Her husband of 15 years, John, plays tennis, while her son Brian, 13, plays on a travelling soccer team in North County, and her 10-year-old daughter, Lisa, is very active in softball. Occasionally, they will all head to the Oceanside Harbor and sail their22' MacGregorsailboatto Catalina. "It's a way to get me off the courts," said Breen.

Breen says her busy schedule works out because, "I budget my time and my husband is very helpful with the kids. We jointly take care of them, and my kids are very supportive... as long as I'm able to make it to their games."

Playing on the 1990 women's squad, Breen's goals were to improve her endurance and concentration on the court. She said that playing a lot of other players, "has really improved my game. I've also improved on my strategy." Breen was quick to add, "Nan (Haugen),

Golfers under par Loose to San Diego Mesa by one point

By Teng Monteyro Sports Writer The Palomar golf team had a shot at finishing first in the Orange Empire League, but ironically, the team fell one shot short of getting there.

The Comets were tied for second along with Orange Coast, both finished at3,l346, just one less than San Diego Mesa's 3, R45.

"We were a little disappointed that we didn't win the league," said Coach Bob Lusky. "We finished one shot out. We felt that we could win."

Although the Comets did not qualify for further post-season tournaments, there were no regrets as to how the season went "We started okay in the beginning, then we had a mid-season crisis," Lusky added "We just couldn't get six players to play together.

"Then we started playing strong towards the end and that brought us along. I was very happy with the way the team finished in the end."

There were a number of individual and team highlights throughout the season. Three out of the

10 team members who played this season were voted to the All-Conference team: David Benson, 75.6, Mike O'Leary, 76.1, and Paul Calabrase, 77.1. The only other player who made the team was Orange Coast's Frank Pantoja 75.1, who was later voted California Player of the Year: The Comets finished third in what coach Lusky described as the "biggest tournament of Southern California,"- the San Diego Golf Academy Tournament.

Other highlights include scoring 355 which broke the current school record of 363. That score also set the lowest total for all Southern California. The Comets won five league tournaments and finished second in two other tournaments.

Personal highs include Paul Calabrase's score of 65 which broke the school record of 68. Mike O'Leary qualified for the Southern California Tournament by scoring a 156.

The season is done for coach Lusky and his golfers, and he has only positive thoughts for the next season. "We have four freshmen coming back, and that should give us a strong nucleus for next year."

Comets slide into home too late for this year's season

By Aaron Hirschorn Staff Writer The fat lady started to sing as soon as the opera began. Unfortunately for the Palomar Comets baseball team the curtain is closing when the best performance is being presented. The Comets have won eight of their last 10 ball games, including Tuesday's 6-4 win over Southwestern. Previously the team was facing a record of 10 games below 500.

Coach Bob Vetter said the team has struggled through adversities and has hung in when they could have fallen in the tank. He said it was a good learning experience for him and the players.

The Comets record in league is 11-12. Vetter hopes the team can

finish with an even record, possibly placing fourth in the league.

Vetter is proud of the individual accomplishments of his star players. Robert Erp, a right-handed ¡ pitcher, racked up a 6-2 record during his freshman year. Jerry Stafford, a lefty in the bullpen, seta new school record with nine saves.

Hot with the bat was Ronnie Kelly, who had a 400 average at the plate.

Gary Larrabee has had a consistent year in the infield. Vetter complimented Larrabee on trying to carry the ballclub.

Some of the Comet players are currently being recruited by four year colleges. Jeff Lawrence, a left handed pitcher, will attend the University of Wyoming in the fall.

Third baseman Brian Flemming attempts to force a Mira Costa player out.

Five more players have received offers. Vetter explained that recruiting doesn't get into full swing until the end of May. The big improvement Vetter is hoping for next season is an improved defense. According to the coach, defense was one of the key deficiencies in the Comets game.

The pitchers never had the consistent glove support in the field, he said.

Vetter also commented on the status of Palomar's baseball program by saying, "This year was an off year. We will be close to .500 after two straight years of conference titles.

"We hope to get back quickly with strong work and personnel.

This year is behind us, let's look toward next year."
