Car break-ins persist this fall

By Laura Woolfrey Campus Beat Editor When Palomar student Celeste Titcome rushed into the Campus Patrol offices Sept. 18 to report that her 1979 BMW was broken into and her stereo stolen, campus patrol officers did not seem surprised at all.

Titcome is one of nine students who has been victimized since the beginning of the fall semester. "I was stunned. I just bought it, (the stereo), two weeks ago," Titcome said. At first, most of these crimes involved car thefts. However, campus patrol officers said that the trend of stealing car stereos is progressively becoming dominant and BMWs seem to be the target.

"They are hitting stereos," said Boyd Mahan, campus patrol supervisor.

On Sept 11, a tan 1981 BMW was discovered missing from lot 11 at 6:20 p.m. The owner, as did all of the victims, claimed that th~ doors were locked and the keys were not in the vehicle. The valuables in the car alone, which included items such as a stereo, golf clubs and text books, were estimated to be valued at $4,400.

There are three other cases involving BMWs, two of which happened in the afternoon on Sept, 18. Two of these crimes were committed in lot 12, where most of the thefts and break-ins have occured, and the other in lot 14. In these particular cases just the ste-

reos were taken. A wallet with money and credit cards was left on the car seat of one of the burglarized cars.

Other targeted automobiles are Toyotas and Honda Preludes.

Three Toyotas and two Hondas have been reported stolen, most of the cars were parked in lot 12.

Many times, the victims of car theft are not given much hope.

Palomar student Mary Flemming reported her car stolen from lot 12. Flemming told campus patrol officers that she got a discouraging response from a local sheriff who said that her car was probably taken to Mexico.

However, a Vista woman found some of Flemmings' papers scattered in a high school parking lot and contacted her. Flemming then went searching for her car and found it in a parking lot covered with a tarp. Missing were special seats which are valued at $1,000.

Campus Patrol officers suspect the same group of people in the crimes because the break-in techniques are the same in every reported case. "It is the same thing every time. They force the lock open with a screwdriver," said campus patrol officer Paul Griggs.

"Crime is often a result of opportunity," said Boyd Mahan, campus patrol supervisor. Mahan recommended all students get a bar for their steering wheel or an alarm. "The easier it is to do it, (steal), the more of a chance."

County action to levy tax service Artifacts case settled fee angers governing board

By Mark Hopkins Senior Staf!Writer Recent action taken by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to bill school districts for the administrative costs of collecting property taxes has raised the ire of Palomar's governing board. The action and reaction follow a statewide trend by county supervisors to bill school districts for the service.

"It is a kick in the teeth," said board secretary Robert Dougherty about the supervisors' agreement to levy over $9 million in property tax collection fees upon local school districts. Of the $9 million, Palomar will be assessed over onequarter million dollars. According to the most recent figures avail-

able, Palomar receives over $14.5 million in property taxes.

One response to the supervisors' ac lion to charge the tariff was suggested by board vice president Ben Echeverria, "Let's not pay it."

Dougherty agreed with Echeverria and added that the col.lege should consider joining a class action suit. "It will probably be sent to the State Supreme Court because of the serious legal questions it raises," said Dougherty. He said under the state education code, it is illegal for the county to bill schools for the service.

George Boggs, superintendent/ president, said thatiflegal action is taken by the board, he thil)ks they should work through organizations such as the California School Board Association (CSBA).

By Fred Tracey facts over an eight-year period Boggs said that the CSBA is now with her students.

"Unification would be beneficial to Palomar and Mira Costa college students bec.ause ... I know of many who live in Oceanside and outlying areas who would like to go to Palomar, and many in the Palomar district who would like to go to MiraCosta," explained Palomar alumnus Scou McDonald. "I believe that North County could be served with one district rather than with two." ¡ "Unification would be harmful because it would make the district into too large an area," said Bert Wiest, a sophomore.

Inter-Club Council encourages student involvement in clubs

By Stacy Alessio Staff Writer "Clubs represent the students. It is a good way to be a part of the school and become actively involved," said Denny Ngo, Inter Club Council (ICC) President. the councils first meeting was held on Sept. 11.

The council, made up of representatives from various campus clubs and organizations, is responsible for setting club guidelines and policies. Each organization in the ICC receives one vote on all matters.

According to ICC supervisors, the ultimate purpose of the ICC is to promote club interaction.

While the ICC is structured much like a club and does have its own constitution, it is not considered a club. According to Marilyn Lunde, Executive Secretary of Student Services, the council plays a key role in assuring that Palomar's numerous clubs are able to peacefully co-exist, and function in an organized manner.

The council, however, is not all business, they coordinate many activities for the faculty, staff and students to enjoy. They were responsible for Thursday's Club Day and have also planned a "Halloween Escape" for October, a food drive for November and for December a" Winter Fantasy."

It is not mandatory that clubs play an active role in the ICC.

According to Mary Reynaga, ICC acting vice chairperson, the ICC can prove to be beneficial for clubs to join. For example, if a club can show that they have unsuccessfully tried to raise money, or just need funds to get started, they may obtain up to $100 from the council.

Lots of finds in lost and found

By Todd Anderson Staff Writer Imagine waiting in line to buy a $65 math book at the Bookstore, only to lose it the next week.

This is actually a common and frustrating occurence on campus.

Everyday, things like books, watches, keys, wallets and sunglasses are lost on campus and honorably turned in at lost and found, located at campus patrol headquarters at the southwest side of the football field.

Few of the items that are found make it back to their owner. Since the begining of the semester 75 items were turned in to lost and found. By Sept. 29, only 28 items had been claimed.

Shirley Bartley, senior office specialist for campus patrol, says "It seems that for every 10 items turned in maybe one person comes in to claim an item or even to check on a lost item."

Bartley stated that the most common articles turned-in are automobile keys. Boyd Mahan, campus patrol supervisor, said "It is amazing to me how people can get home without their keys."

"We have had everything come in here as a found item. From stray dogs to a painting of the monster from the movie 'Predator' with rasta-style dreadlocks," according to Travis Galling a campus patrol officer.

A couple of the real prizes in the lost and found collection are a Citizens watch with diamond chips, that was found in staff restroom A-8; and a 1988 Vista class ring that was lost in March.

Campus patrol has attempted to contact the owner but has gotten no response. Numerous items have been turned in that have significant monetary value.

Campus Patrol officers are encouraged by the number of items turned in and the honesty demonstrated by the number of wallets are turned in with money and credit cards still inside. Last year, two $50 bills were found floating in parking lot 12 and turned into lost and found.

"It is real encouraging", said Mahan. 'Tve had more wallets returned with the money, versus wallets where the money is missing."

Plans for joint county-college library in Powa·y nixed

By Peggy Stackle Copy Editor Officials at Palomar College had hoped to tie-in San Diego County's library in Poway with Palomar's satellite campus in Poway and better serve Palomar students. But at the Poway City Council's, June budget meeting , the Council "voted to do something different," said Dr. George Boggs, Palomar's superintendent/ president.

The agreement would have al-

lowed Palomar to operate a major, county-owned library. But, according to Boggs, the communitybased Poway Friends of the Library, would not have had the control of the library they wanted.

"We didn't think the joint library would serve our community and we didn't want our library absorbed," explained Friends of the Library President Sue Sheldon. She said that her organization would not oppose Palomar ope rating its own, separate library at the Poway satellite.

Poway and Mt. Carmel satellite centers said, "I was very disappointed that it (the agreement) didn't work." The Poway satellite currently resides in facilities at Poway High School. A new location with better parking, is being sought.

The new 10,000 square-foot county library will be located in the old Poway area on Midland Road, and will be completed in spring of 1993. Ultimately the library will have 31 ,000 square feet but no completion date for the expansion has been announced.

"The District is satisfied with the settlement," said Dr. George Boggs, superintendent/president.

"We wanted to get the artifacts back for the use of the staff and the students."

According to Boggs in the February 12, 1990 edition of The Telescope , the estimated value placed on the artifacts is $100,000, which includes about $56,000 in salary paid to Leslie Quintero, the cost of cleaning, marking, cataloging and dating the artifacts.

Jim Bowersox, city manager of Poway, said that the city had been working on a master plan of city libraries for some time.

"The Friends of the Library provided input. This was underway when Palomar College came along working on its satellite campus plan," explained Bowersox. "The two plans moved along until spring of this year when the City Council voted to do the com· munity library."

Boggs and Gene Jackson, dean of humanities, had attempted to meet with Leslie Quintero late last year to negotiate getting the artifacts back.

After negotiations failed, Boggs filed a theft report with the San Diego Sheriff's Department in December. The case was later dropped by Sheriffs investigators citing the case was a civic dispute and not criminal.

Boggs would not reveal how much money the college spent in the legal entanglement, only saying that the college's insurance carrier helped to pay for part of the legal costs.

The collection consists of 600year old remnants of a Luiseno Indian tribe site north of Escondido.

Bookstore expansion is under way Editor's note: This story was cut short in last week's edition ofThe Telescope. Here is the story in its entirety.

By Todd Anderson Staff Writer Goodnewshasarrivedfrom the bookstore: there shouldn't be any reason for students to wait in the twisty, Disneyland-style line to buy books next semester.

The first of a two-phase bookstore renovation project is expected to be complete by Nov. 15, according to Mike Schaeffer, asssistant director of the bookstore, and to be fully operational

by Jan. l5, 1991.

As described in plans submitted to the Associated Student Government last semester, the renovation will bring an addition of 6,000 square-feet to the rear of the building, which will become the new textbook storage and sales area. The new building will also house 16 new proposed cash registers, which is double what the store has right now, solely for the purpose of textbook sales.

The bookstore will also re-

ceive a new entrance and a completely new layout for the nontextbook portion of the store.

"All of this (the renovation) should boost efficiency," according to Schaeffer, "and reduce the amount of time spent in line."

Schaeffer said that "nearly 2,500 students a day pass through the bookstore during the rush."

That means over 10,000 students a week pass through the six registers that the store has for textbook sales. This is the main reason for the bottleneck experienced when buying books Schaeffer said.

The renovation should make the task of buying books quicker "without a price increase on either the text books or the store merchan,d ise," Schaeffer said.

Through negotiations with the· College's Governing Board the Bookstore will not raise prices to pay for the renovation.

The bookstore staff feels that "the restructuring itself should bring in additional sales, which would help pay for the renovation quicker." Phase two of the project cannot begin until phase one has totally been paid for. Phase two of the project will include the addi-

tion of a second story to the bookstore.

If weather conditions permit, the bookstore should be fmished and operational by Jan. 15 at a cost "that should be just under $500,000," Schaeffer stated.

"The outcome of how the rest of the bookstore turns out," Schaeffer said,"will be determined by how close we come out to our budget."

Another measure aimed at easing the line to buy books is the addition of a bookstore to open this semester at the Escondido Education Center. "The Escondido bookstore will supply just basic needs, scantron sheets, bluebooks, etc.," Schaeffer said. "And it will carry all the textbooks for that campus."

Through all this construction will come an easier way to buy books at rush time but Schaeffer did want to warn students that between Nov.15 and finals week, the original bookstore will be "tom up pretty badly and be under heavy construction, but we hope to be fully operational through finals week."

New chemistry teacher Heinz views German reunification Editor's note: This story was cut

short in last week's edition ofThe Telescope. Here is the story in its entirety.

By Ziad Al-Dahhan Staff Writer Dr. Bettina Heinz arrived in the United States on Aug. 20 this year and is a professor in the Chemistry Department. She is a naturalized German-American. "I have strong ties as an American and as a European too, so I'm sort of caught in between," said Heinz.

Oct. 3 has been established as the deadline for the re-unification of East and West Germany. The reunification has brought about mixed emotions for the Germans.

"Basically, the Germans feel good about it," said Heinz, adding that the West Germans are worried about economical problems asssociated with supporting the East Germans financially. "They're well-off, they have lots of money

and they don't want to really share it. They want to have their cake and eat it too," said Heinz.

On the other hand, she believes the East Germans are concerned about the "overdeveloped" West Germany, because East Germany is still the "old Germany" and it's not as developed, rather· it has an overall rural atmosphere with treelined country roads and minimal pollution.

"I just hope that East Germany isn't overrun by speculators-by capitalists so to speak-who want to establish businesses all of a sudden. To a degree it's good, but not the speculation, which is at a runaway speed because people can get fantastic bargains in real estate.

But what can you do to prevent it?" asked Heinz.

Ken Bauermeister, a GermanAmerican computer assistant at the library, who has recently returned from a five-week visit in West Germany said he liked the reunification, because "I don 'tlike

people oppressed anywhere."

"It is a country, it has a common history and why shouldn't it be together as a culture?" added Heinz. "You want to be with your family, it's normal ... families were literally split apart. It's a human situation. They speak the same language and they have the same background. You can still be open to the world, but you want to be with your own. You need the stability-everybody does."

"The people are the same, and that's why this is so bizarre, because there is no precedent for this stuff anywhere on this planet," said Bauermeister. "This is a fairy tale, where one country prospered and one country was stagnant and all of a sudden the wall opened and the other country is going to propsper as well, but it's just going to take a long time. It's going to take another 40 years to mend."

Heinz mentioned that many East Germans, in the eyes of West Germans, are more exotic, "like

people from Mars," but then they realize that these people do not look or talk much different. "In the end, the novelty wears off and you're just the same again. You forget the differences."

The reunification provides an opportunity for West Germany to expand its housing. West Germany is a country of 60 million on an area of approximately 96,000 square miles. They suffer from a terrible housing crunch, while East Germany is a country of 18 million on approximately 42,000 square miles, which provides lots of space for housing developments. "Germany is bursting out of its seams," said Heinz.

"East Germany will be part of the Federation," explained Heinz of the future setup, "so it's a federalized government with many substates which are unified like the United States. United States of Germany, you can say!"

There have been discussions about the location of the "new"

capital. ''They don't know where the capital will be yet. They want to have Berlin again. A capital has to have a certain cultural value.

Bonn is too much in the West, while Berlin touches both East and West, so everybody will have a fair portion," concluded Heinz.

"Politically, things don't necessarily repeat themselves," she said referring to Hitler and his Nazi Regime. "There will be a unified Europe anyway.

"I don't think the problems will last long," she added.

On Sep. 12, a treaty was signed between Germany and the Allied Powers. (The French Republic, the Union of Soviet Socialist Repubiics, the United Kingdom and the United States) This officially ended their postwar occupation and removed the last barrier to German reunification.

Heinz said that she was glad about the treaty as it resolves the past. "All things have to come to an end."

Highway S6 winds through rolling hills covered with chapparal, into Valley Center and on to the Rincon Indian Reservation.

Cows are usually spotted on the highway as it leads to Lake Henshaw, Palomar Mountain and Julian.

Besides the cows, a regular fixture on the Rincon Road is a billboard that simply reads, in chipped paint, RobertFreeman. Across the highway from the sign is a twostory building, where a cow's skull, an array of rusty paraphernalia and a "Robert Freeman Art Gallery" sign hangs on rustic but sturdy plywood walls.

The gallery serves as home-base for the talents of an internationally recognized artist, who is also a Palomar College art instructor.

Robert Freeman opens the gal-

hands in the air. "I didn't think I needed an education. I decided to be a soldier, so I joined the Army.

"There we were," he explains, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees. " ... 1959, in Korea . .. blazing hot Me and my four buddies were sitting in a trench talking about the meaning of life; why we were here, why we were alive.

"We looked around at the country we were in and at the people and the way they lived. We realized that Americans are rich! We were just young guys, but we had, well, watches, radios, boots, food.

So we made a pact, you know, between buddies. We vowed that none of us would ever work ... ever have a real job. We didn't see the need to. Besides, I'm kind of lazy at heart."

But the war ended and he came home to real responsibilities. His idealistic nature, though, sent him

ljustcamehomeandsaid, 'Honey, I'm gonna be an artist.' " Freeman admits there were lean times for him, Edwina and their two children. With persistance, though, the self-taughtartistmade a name and a living for himself. He emphatically adds, " ... whether it sells or not, is not the prime motivating factor." He explains that he cannot really pinpoint his motivation. "I just like the challenge," he says, scanning the gallery walls.

"As I change, my work evolves."

One cannot overlook the persistent themes of his American Indian culture and of his often surrealistic style. "Drawing something as it really is, is easy. Surrealism is more like a puzzle. The pieces have to fit and they have to make sense."

Many ofhis paintings and drawings reflect traditional Indian roles. However, one ofFreeman' s

'People ask "Why do you stay here? You could make so much more money in a San Francisco gallery." That's true. I could. But the money comes second.'

Robert Freeman, Palomar art instructor lery' s squeaky wooden door to the public for art shows every several months. Here, the artist and the man return to his roots.

Roots seem to be what the 51year-old Sioux Indian is all about.

Between warm hellos and generous handshakes to a steady stream of visitors, Freeman rests his tall frame in a small chair. He shuffles his worn work boots on the gallery's dusty plywood floor and tells a story. · "I guess I can attribute my art to the way I was raised. My mother had to work to support us ... we were very poor." A smile appears on his ruggedly good-looking face. "We had no dicipline, you know. We were left to fmd our own amusement We didn't have toys, only imagination. That got us into a lot of trouble sometimes, but we learned to be self-reliant."

Perhaps that feeling of self-reliance is what shaped Freeman's attitude toward a formal education. "I dropped out of Escondido High School half-way through my senior year," he says, throwing his

through more jobs in two years than most people have in a lifetime. All the while he nurtured his innate artistic skills on the side.

"I picked up my share of unemployment checks," he adds.

He sits back and laughs. His wife Edwina smiles with big brown eyes. She's probably heard this story many times in her husband's numerous interviews.

Then it's back to business as she quotes a price to a prospective buyer. "That one's $500," she says. Sold.

"Now you want to be sure and matte that with the right stuff," Freeman tells the buyer as he jokes with her about the high quality of his work.

It's no joke. The quality and value of Freeman's work have skyrocketted since his first painting sold in 1962. "I was still working odd jobs when I decided to try a second-hand store in Escondido.

He says the plot involves traditional Native American roles in the context of modem language and technology. He plans to use real Indian actors, and adds, "I've even found someone who'll produce it on spec."

With so many irons in the fire, Freeman still finds time to share his talents. "I like to teach," he says. "It feels good to see the enthusiastic ones (students), and it reminds me of the basics."

Freeman has been teaching part time since 1976,firstatGrossmont College and then here at Palomar.

He laughs. "When I was first propositioned to teach I said 'hey, I'm a high school dropout. I don't have a diploma, much less a master's degree!' But they liked my work and before I knew it they gave me a teaching credential."

For a man who says he enjoys being lazy and being his own boss, Freeman seems to keep a full schedual. But if there's one thing he will always have time for, it's the little gallery on Highway S6.

"I was raised on the reservation.

This land ... has been in my family since 1884. Someday it will go to my son. People ask, 'why do you stay here? You coul_d make so much more in a San Francisco gallery.' That's true. !could. But the money comes second ... "

However, her buckskin dress fits sungly over a Raquel Welch-like figure, revealing most of her shapely thighs. She wears high heels and makeup. So much for historical icons.

"More people see television and movies than two- dimensional art, so I think that's my next logical step," Freeman says, describing a screen play he is writing. "It's a comedy. People should be able to laugh at Indians like they laugh at portrayals of every other culture."

Artist Robert Freeman, a Sioux Indian, is an internationallyrecognized artist.

~HfRE Parking lots are unsafe; time for everyone to take action With each new day, Palomar students drive into the winding, speed-bump infested road which leads to the various parking lots. Locking their cars and placing sun visors in the windshields, they saunter off to their various classes and responsibilities. At the very least, they hope that their cars are secure.

But some students are fmding that these very parking lots are not so safe.

Since the beginning of the school year, three stereos have been ripped-off, while six other automobiles were stolen completely.Fourofthese lOcarswereBMWs,undoubtedly tempting automobiles for any potential thief.

It would be easy to blame these thefts on a lack of security, but that would be only half accurate.

Truly, with this rash of robberies at Palomar, the school needs to provide more security in the parking lots, especially in the evening when most of these robberies take place.

More security would not only keep cars safe, it would keep students safe as well. With thieves evidently roaming the lots for susceptible cars, more patrol officers must be available for students who need to take the long hike back to their cars after their evening or night classes are over.

But steps to alleviate this prob.lem must not stop there; this is only the beginning.

No matter how many security people are hired, it would be impossible, not to mention highly costly, to patrol all of the lots, all of the time. While there are only a small group of patrol officers, there is a large force of thousands of students who use the school parking lots and could help insure their safety.

Boyd Mahan of campus patrol suggests that all students help make their cars "theft proof," or at least take steps to make the automobiles less tempting.

This can be done through simple methods such as buying a steering wheel club, a pull out radio, or even one of those annoying alarms. However, Boyd suggests using alarms that contain "kill switches" which don't just make a lot of noise, butalso make it impossible for a thief to drive off with the car.

Boyd also suggests that students who own safety precautions, such as a steering wheel club, take the time to use them; there is no need to sacrifice an entire car for a few minutes of laziness.

In addition, students must watch out for other students.

After an evening or night class is over, people can either walk or drive each other out to their cars to make sure everyone is safely headed towards home But most of all, Boyd suggests that "when you hear an alarm going off, check it!" Students witnessing any suspiciousactivityshouldreportittothecampuspatrol bycalling them at ext 2289, or visiting their shack in the front school parking lot by the track. Alerting campus security to even the most slightly questionable activities may save someone's car or valuables.

This problem, while characteristic of many parking lots, need not affect Palomar College any longer. An alert and conscientious student body of thousands is a force few corrupt individuals would want to confront.

Working together, Palomar College, its staff and students can ensure that the cars in the parking lots will still be there once class is over ... stereos included.

Censorship violates gallery's rights Once again the constitutional rights to free expression have come under fire, and this time it looks like those rights may lose out in court if the conservatives have their way. If the Contemporary Arts Center of Cincinnati and its director Dennis Barrie are convicted in this case, it will send a direct message to the people of this country that the rights given to us by the Constitution are null-and void, leading to the radical conservative minority dictating what is right and wrong, and what is and is not moral or obscene.

This week, both Barrie and the arts center were put on trial for two misdemeanor counts, charging that the center pandered obscenity by showing an exhibit of photographs by the late Robert Maple thorpe. Who was it that brought about these charges? A group calling itself the "Citizens for Community Values," which, just like Senator Jesse Helms and others, has disregarded the rights of free expression given in the Constitution and the decisions handed down by the United States Supreme Court protecting those rights.

What is so tragic is that they have succeeded in using their own personal beliefs, rather than the judgements of the Constitution and the court, to bring them to court. Barrie and the center have had to deal with this before. Earlier this month, Hamilton County Municipal Judge David Albanese, who is presiding over this week's case, ruled that five photographs from the exhibit "Robert Maplethorpe: The Perfect Moment," shown at the center last spring and judged by a grand jury to be obscene, should have their artistic validity determined individually rather than as being a part of the totall75 pieces on display. This is not the way to judge a piece of art, and the Supreme Court agrees.

In 1973, the court made a ruling in the Millervs. California case, where the court, as the Los Angeles Times describes it, "ruled that a work of art must be judged 'as a whole' when determining whether it is obscene." In the view Albenese took, each photograph should be viewed "as a single work of art."

If this is the scenario forth is week's case as well, both the

center and Barrie could be found guilty if only one photograph is found to be obscene.

As our system of government is set up, the Constitution and the rulings of the Supreme Court are what determine the outcome of conflicts such as this. It was set up to prevent the very thing that is happening with the case put forth this week -letting personal views of a select group of people deter-

P.OY. (Point of View)

Roman Koenig mine what is right or wrong, or what is or is not obscene.

The Constitution of the United States says it very clearly: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech," as stated in the First Amendment. Freedom of expression in art is part of that right to free speech. Article Nine says that "the enumeration of the Constitution, of certain rights, should not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

In this case in Cincinnati, the beliefs of a few are dictating what is right and wrong based on personal morals, as opposed to the freedom of expression given in the Constitution, which applies to everyone. The group supporting "community values" believes that the real issue is "that people realize they' reraising their children in a society with a corrupting influence," according to member Monty Lobb. This statement may be true, but it does not justify censorship. There is still another option.

One other freedom in the United States is the freedom of choice. If groups such as "Citizens for Community Values," or any member of the population for that matter, do not wish to have their children or other family members subjected to Maplethorpe' s work, they are perfectly free to choose not to go see the exhibits, rather than inflict their personal ideals on the general public or artistic institutions.

President George Bush agrees, and also says that the government itself should not be involved in censoring what it deems to be obscene. "I am deeply offended by some of the filth that I see .... But I would prefer to have this matter handled by a sensitive knowledgeable man of the arts . .. than risk censorship or getting the federal government into telling every artist what he or she can paint, or how she or he might express themselves," he said at a press conference in March. "I don't know of anybody in the government or a government agency that should be set up to <.;cnsor what you write or what you paint, or how you express yourselves."

A court is not the place to judge the validity of a piece of art, nor is a group like the "Citizens for Community Values" qualified to make the same judgement. That decision should be made by the artists themselves and the galleries which show the work.

Politics skirt real issues in Middle East conflict

By Ziad Al-Dahhan Staff Writer

Students voice concern over offshore oil drilling solution Only one sacrifice is needed; mankind must make commitment to environment

As an Iraqi living in the United States in these hectic times, I am often questioned about my opinion of the current Gulf Crisis.

First of all, I can see how Hussein justifies his so-called invasion of Kuwait, basing it on the following: Firstly, Kuwait was selling more oil than was allowed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), thereby reducing the price of oil. Iraq was dependent on the oil as a source of income to make-up for its recent lengthy, bloody and costly war with Iran. ~econdly, the current borderlines between Iraq, Kuwait and Saudia Arabia were established by the British imperial decree at the Uqair conference of 1922. Left with only one inadequate port, this denied Iraq a functional outlet to the Arabian Gulf and thus the world. In addition, oil fields the Iraqis consider rightfully theirs are on the Kuwaiti side of the border as a result of the borderlines.

However,just because I see his justification, doesn't necessarily mean that I agree or support it.

There were other means of settling those disputes without invading Kuwait, such as negotiations with Kuwait while Iraqi troops were lined up atthelraqi-Kuwaiti border. Other proposals included Kuwait giving Bobiyan Island to Iraq and a sum of money equal to the amount Iraq lost as a result of the unfair borderlines.

If Iraq would have implemented these ideas rather than succumbing to the green-eyed monster, greed, none of this would have happened.

I was genuinely aghast when Iraq actually entered Kuwait. To this day, I don't understand it completely.

The Saudis' appeal to the United States for protection from Iraq was even more overwhelming. Iraq has no reason for attacking Saudia Arabia. Attacking Saudia Arabia, the country that embodies the holy house of the Moslems, the Ka 'aba in Mecca, would result in an uproar from the Islamic World and would make Saddam Hussein lose credibility. It would be like an attack on the Vatican by a Catholic general.

There must be some other obscure and concealed reason for the Saudis' action . Who knows what lies behind the walls of the Pentagon and the King's palace in the bizarre and curious world of politics?

Due to political and military factors, the intentional start of a war is doubtful.

Firstly, Iraq will not be the one to initiate a war against the United States since such a war would be a war against almost all of the world. Iraq would not survive the war, especially not with the current economic sanctions that have ceased the flow of food, medicine and other staples into Iraq. In addition, the United States has a superior and more expert military.

Besides, the United States would not initiate a war, since this would go against all of its principles.

It seems that Kuwait is not the issue in question here. Why would the Untied States care about a little monarchy of 1.5 million? The United States receives only 5 percent of its oil from both Iraq and Kuwait combined, so oil is not the issue.

(see IRAQ- page 12)

Dear Editor, I am writing this in response tQ Tracy Wilson ' s"Stage Right" column in the Sept 14 issue. · First of all let me say that I am embarrassed for Ms. y\'ilson for being so out oftouch with the current state of the world, as well as her disturbed sense of priorities.

I do agree with Ms. Wilson when she says Americans must make a sacrifice,but that is where the agreement ends. How noble of her to volunteer, as she puts it a few cute animals and interesting fish, to make that sacrifice.

No Americans need die for oil in the Middle East, they can accomplish that personal sacrifice in their home town.l'm sure that Ms. Wilson is unaware of the fact that twice as many Americans have died on American roadways, than have died in all the wars since 1776. Or that the American Lung Association estimates that Americans spend over 1$93 billion a year on car pollution related diseases. How many Americans will succumb to skin cancers caused by the hole in the ozone, brought to you by the burning of fossil fuels and other technological

Dear Editor, I am writing in regard to Tracy Wilson 's"StageRight" article. I must say that it is her type of thinking that i§ pushing our planet to the brink of destruction.

Ms. Wilson is completely right in saying that we need to end our reliance on the unstable Middle East for fossil fuels, but she's wrong in thinking that drilling off our coast for oil is the answer.

The three-day supply of oil that is believed to be off our coast isn't worth sacrificing the ecosystem that is even now, overburdened. I found her line about sacrificing.a "few cute animals and interesting fish" to be frightening. I wonder if Ms. Wilson would be willing to sacrifice her family pet in the same f~hion?

Another fallacy stated in her article deals '-Vith the depletion of marine life around oil rigs. The reverse is NOT true. The noise alone near the rigs has a negative effect on the migration patterns and communication of marine mammals. Maybe oysters can survive there, but they aren't representative of the whole ecosystem.

Wind, solar, and water energies aren't hurtful to the environment, although coal is. Wouldn't it be more constructive to take the money that would be spent on supporting the military abroad, or drilling off our coast, and use it to further develop the alternative energy sources so they will be effective on a national scale?

'Single and Solid' album sounds limp

By Tony Cavallo Staf!Writter "Single and Solid." Is that the name of an album made to pick up women or what? "Buy you a drink? What's your sign? Did I tell you I've recorded an albuin?"

that's never heard of him. Why? He doesn't perform live, he is selfpublished and his record is available only by writing or calling him.

'Postcards' delivers a hit

By Michelle PoUino Staff Writer

that has been neglected for so long.

One of the things that really

What emerges in "Postcard~" is

stands out in "Postcards" is how each performer played off of one another, all the while not losing their personality. The mother daughter scenes were so delightful; that quick-witted bantor was so smartly written by Fisher, and collaborator-director Mike Nichols.

Streep also makes her singing debut in Postcards, and proves without a doubt, there is nothing Streep can't do.

Adding to these two powerful performances is a supporting cast that does their job so well sometimes you don't realize who they are.

Gene Hackmen, who is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood today, plays Lowell the nurturing director who always gives Suzanne a second chance.

Richard Dreyfuss plays the doctor who pumps Suzannesstomach, and afterwards asks her out on a date.

And Dennis Quaid plays the philandering Hollywood producer Jack Falkner, whom Suzanne almost falls for.

These elements combined together make for a picture-perfect postcard, that you'll want tocherish for quite awhile. Or at least look at more than once.

If you put together two of the most versatile actresses in the motion picture industry, added a director with a list of credits that include "Working Girl" and "The Graduate", then based the script on the self-written biography of a Hollywood actress, what have you got?

An instant hit right? Right!

"Postcards From The Edge" is a movie that delivers to its audience a movie that comes along once in a blue moon. Director Mike Nichols magically blends the surreal world ofHollywood with the real lives of the people who make it.

Meryl Streep plays Suzanne Vale, an actress who, after a nearfatal overdose ends up in a rehabilitation center. On the comeback trail Suzanne wants to do a movie, but in order to do the movie she must live under the supervision of her mother, Doris Mann (Shirley Maclaine).

Enter the enormously popular Mann, a musical comedy star of the '50s and '60s, and Suzanne's overbearing alcoholic mother.

Mann, like any other mother, is constantly struggling for that common ground with her daughter

a funny, compelling story of therelationship between a mother and daughter. Loosely based on Carrie Fishers' biography of the same name," Postcards" delivers some of the best rapid-fire dialogue heard in the movies today, underscoring the basic conflict between mother and daughter.

At frrst "Postcards" is a little awkward. If you were watching it on T.V. you might be tempted to change the channel, but once the plot points have been set, the characters begin to unfold. And what characters they are.

As soon as Doris Mann bursts onto the screen, and into the rehab center to pick up her daughter, you can feel tension arise. When a transvestite at the rehab center confesses his love to Doris Mann , and begins to sing to her. You can see the burden Suzanne feels being Doris Mann's daughter.

But Mann's quick response, "You know all the queens love me," swiftly assures the audience where her heart lies.

The problems that ensue are a journey to self-discovery for Suzanne and Doris crossing the boundries of tinseltown, into the lives of everyday people.

Palomar College Educational T.V spawns Emmy Nominee

By Kathy Hines Arts and Entertainment Editor Early last year, Palomar College student Linda S'lbo did not even know how to to tum on a camcorder.

This year, she is co-producing and directing "Vista View" with fellow student, Bob Nanninga. "Vista View," is a P.M. Magazine type of news show.

The program, which is aired from North County San Diego to Riverside, has just started this semester and will continue until at least June 1991.

The city of Vista, which funds the program, took note of Sabo' s media talents, which were viewed on the "Carlsbad Report," a live news show ftlmed on the Palomar College campus set.

The summer project that Bob Sheppard, Palomar College teacher and executive producer, only expected to last for four weeks, held the television slot for 52 weeks.

The "Carlsbad Report," under the direction of Sabo and other part-timers, grabbed first place at the California State Media Festival last spring.

"Locally, the news show also took first at the Del Mar Fair. Nationally, it won second place in the "National

'I wanted to do something to help in the prevention of AIDS ... I have friends that are aff~cted by it' Linda Sabo producer Hometown Video Award" contest, in which they competed with at least 3,000 entries Although Sabo transfered from UCSD to Palomar College because of the reputable media department, she did not expect so much support while rounding off her major in philosopy of political science. Or to win so many awards.

liTUPPER PRODUCTIONS

Sabo was sent to Washington D.C. by the patrons of Palomar to accept the award.

With the guidance and support of Sheppard, and with the hands on experience from the "Carlsbad Report," Sabo produced an" AIDS Public Service Announcement," in Sheppard's class.

The announcement, televised in the spring of'89 on major stations and MTV as well, attracted enough attention to be an emmy nominee from the "Members of the National Academy of T.V." Her production was also awarded second place in the public service anouncement category in the California State Media Festival.

After Palomar, Sabo would like to continue her career in the media field, maybe someday producing political commercials, to "help get a democrat in the White House."

and

Sabo says, "I like entertainment and comedy, but I can't see myself working on mindless sitcoms. I'm not saying they are all bad, 'Murphy Brown' is probably my favorite show, but it's grounded into reality in the way that it deals with important issues."

If there is a cause that she feels strongly about, she will tackle it face on. For example, Sabo said "I wanted t.o do something to help the prevention and research for AIDS .. .! myself have friends that are affected by it, and I wanted to do something about it.. .producing the media announcement was the least I could do."

Although social issues motivate Sabo, she says that she could not have done it without the school communications department, and in specific, the encouragement of Sheppard.

Comet linebacker attacked

By Fred Tracey News Editor and Rich Donovan Sports Editor

A party turned violent Saturday night for a Comet linebacker who was attacked and nearly blinded.

Wayne Tuitasi, 19, of Vista, was hospitalized following a brawl at an Escondido house in which he was hit on the side of the head with a baseball bat and near! y blinded in one eye.

Between 100 and 150 people crowded into a house in the 800 block of West Valley Parkway.

Several mem bcrs of an Escondido gang were reported to have also attended the party. Following the Comets' football game Saturday, Tuitasi and several members of the team went to the party.

Tigers claw Comets at home opener, 41-40

By Sean Dean Sports Wiler and Rich Donovan Sports Editor

At their home opener last Saturday, the Palomar football team lost a 41-40 nail-biter versus defending national champions, Riverside Community College.

The game pitted the electrifying passing attack of Palomar, led by quarterback Brett Salisbury, versus the Riverside running attack of John Peoples.

The excited and rowdy crowd watched Salisbury pick apart the Tiger defensive backfield, throwing for a game high 358 yards.

Salisbury also threw for five touchdowns, connecting twice in the end zone to receiver Donny McCallum and twice to Jeff Radcliff.

Receiver Marco Souther scored the other aerial touchdown. Another receiver that Salisbury looked to in pressure situations was Myron Wise, a freshman from Tacoma, Washington.

The Comets' Odeious Pines, proving to be the workhorse in the backfield, handled most of the running chores versus the Tigers.

The Palomar defense had a real battle on their hands trying to contain Riverside's running back, John Peoples. He had a big day on the ground running for 267 yards.

Although the Palomar defense had a tough time with Peoples, he was not the only back that gave the Comets trouble.

The Tigers had an arsenal of ex-

plosive backs that gave the Comets fits. Ironically, however, it was a long pass play on Riversides final drive that did in the Comets.

Special teams played a huge part in Saturdays game. The Comets successfully executed a fake punt, with kicker Mike Graves tucking the ball and running for a fust down at a key point in the game.

But a missed point after attempt and a missed two point conversion proved to be the difference.

Head Coach, Tom Craft refusedtoputanyblameonPersi. "It didn't come down to a missed

PAT. It came down to the Tigers' last drive."

The Comets played a powerful second half of football versus the Tigers. They came out with a mission.

"The big thing that we focused on at halftime was that we wanted to win the second half, which we did," said Craft "That is something that we can take into next weeks game."

At home this Saturday, the Comets (1-2) face another powerhouse in the Mission Conference, Mt. San Antonio.

SOccer team struggles in preseason play, 2·4·1 Rich Donovan Sports Editor

With a record of2-4-1, thePalomarmen' s soccer team has had a very trying preseason.

With two key players missing for the entire preseason, Coach Ron Riccitelli and the Comets have "been the dominate team and could have won all of our (their) games," but have not.

"We have played well enough to win in all of our preseason games, but have had trouble closing it out," said Riccitelli.

Important players that have missed the preseason are Ray Ochoa and center halfback Zoltan Gordality. Ochoa developed appendicitis a few days before the preseason started and Gordality had to leave the team for the entire season because of personal problems. "These two guys are key players and can't be replaced," said Riccitelli. "We have some guys playing positions that they aren't used to."

Good news for the Comets is that Ochoa will be back for league play starting this week.

Other problems in the preseason are that the Comets are not putting the ball in. "We can't seem to put the ball in the net We'll get 15 shots on net and shoot wide or hit the post. They (other teams) will get one shot to our 15 and put it in. We are not real lucky right now but that should change." said Riccitelli.

With league play about to start, Coach Riccitelli is still a bit concerned about how Palomar will fare, ''We'll see what we can do in league," said Riccitelli, "but we should earn a playoff spot."

This years team is a "very young" team said Riccitelli.

Included in this years team is sweeper Jeff Riccitelli, Coach Ron Riccitelli's son. Jeff Riccitelli was a member of the All-Pacific Coast Conference team last season and is expected to be as successful this year. Now stopper (center fullback), Fred Kazmareck is one of the team members that is playing a position that he is not used to. "He has his hands full at stopper," said Riccitelli, "he usually plays midfield."

Back from last season is forward Joel Neri. Neri had 21 goals and 3 assists last season, but has not done that well as of yet.

"Joel is in a slump right now. I hope that he hits his stride soon," said Riccitelli.

The leaders for the Comets so far this season are left-wing forward Todd Brandel with 2 goals and 3 assists and Joey Pie wack with 3 goals and 2 assists.

"Confidence isn't high" with the team, said Coach Riccitelli. "It seems that we are finding ways to lose instead of win. We need to Jearn to win again and believe we can win."

The Comets play league powerhouse and the defending league champions, San Diego Mesa College next week. "We will have our hands full with them," said Riccitelli. that divides Valley Parkway, someone struck Tuitasi in the right side of the head with a baseball bat One of the attackers continuedtokickTuitasiwhen Q he was down.

Teammembers fearful of retribution Several team members were asked of the incident and were very reluctantto give any information regarding it. They were also hestitant about giving their names. "We don't want to give our names because there will be more problems," said a player who wishes to remain anonymous.

Palomar Head Football Coach Tom Craft echoed their concem,"The kids are worried about saying anything because their will be some retaliation."

"The incident was not football related,"said Craft. "I expect my players to be here on Monday, and suited up for practice. Their personal life is not related with football, but I do hate to lose a guy because of something like this."

Coach Craft said that their is no talk of gang violence on the team."The only time you hear of gangs is when something like this happens. I'm just glad that it wasn't more tragic."

Tuitasi, "playing more than half the game and contributing qiute a bit," said Craft, is expected back on Monday.

Alcohol Awareness Week slated

cials, education groups, and chambers of commerce.

Supervisor Brian Bilbray told the San Diego Union that, "The Legislature left no alternative but to implement the fees authorized by the Legislature."

The supervisor said the county had to start charging schools the collection fees to make up for cuts made by Governor George Deukmejian in state funding for indigent medical care. He said the county would lose $23 million in state tobacco taxes if the county's Medically Indigent Services Program (MISP) were discontinued.

Deukmejian reduced from the $54.8 billion state budget funding for the MISP from $34 million to about$20 million, according to official estimates.

"Drunkenness is not seen as good fun and good form," advised Dr. Gerardo Gonzalez of the Department of Education of the University of Florida in his keynote address at the National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week Training Conference, held at San Diego's Hilton Hotel last week.

Palomar's Substance Abuse Task Force, instituted last spring with the appointment of Tony Lynds of the Physical Education Department as chairman, has been working on a comprehensive program for a drug-free campus. Federal law has mandated that college campuses have a substance abuse policy in place by October 1, 1990.

The Palomar College policy has been drafted and is going through the approval process. Concern over the probability that

the policy will not have completed the cycle is alleviated by the fact that a good faith effort is acceptable to the federal government Jim Bowen, director of student activities and a member of the Task Force and two Palomar students attended the NCAAW program as part of the work of the Task Force and in preparation for an awareness program at Palomar.

National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week is a national campaign at the collegiate level which strives to bring attention to students, faculty and staff of the dangers of abuse of alcohol and other controlled substances. Major emphasis is placed on alternatives and the fact that people do have choices.

On-campus observance will be punctuated by the presence of a wrecked car placed near the flag pole. Literature covering the

subjects of abuse, addiction, rehabilitation, support, and prevention will be available in the Student Union.

Professor Gonzalez has developed a three point theory based on college students' belief that they are not susceptible and don't pay attention to prevention measures: the belief that they do not have the power to produce effects, nor the confidence to do it, and problem behavior which mandates strengthening health-enhancing behavior and weakening health-compromising behavior.

Responsibility for education in drug and alcohol abuse gets shoved around according to Gonzalez. "No one is willing to be the catalyst which will bring a comprehensive education, prevention and rehabilitation program together. "

I'd never have believed that one little computer could make such an incredible difference in my academic and working life.

(continued from page 4) Other auempts have been tried to stop graffiti in the restrooms.

"In some of the restrooms we painted the stalls a real ugly green", Ellis said,"because a study showed that the ugly green made people sick so they wouldn't want to write on it( the wall)."

It didn't work.

However, the latest attempt to control graffiti seems to have another benefit, that of cost. According to Ellis "FRP is significantly cheaper than replacing all the stalls" with similar metal walls or a plastic anti-grafitti wall. "In order to replace the walls ... you're talking about $600-$700 a stall ... while the FRP costs about a dollar a square-foot, or about $100 a stall."

Ellis hopes to complete all restroom renovations by the ~nd of the semester, but said "We have so many project requests that it will be difficult to finish all the restrooms right away."

The projects include expanding the sidewalk on the parking lotsideoftheE building, constructing a retaining walls with built-in seating and a wider sidewalk near the S building and to the north side of the P building.

Once all renovations of the restrooms are complete students may have to start bringing their own literature into the restrooms. Any suggestions?

Is it to protect Saudia Arabia from Hussein? Is it to protect Israel from impending danger? Is it to divert the people's mind from other current issues?

Europe has great concerns involved in this, since it receives a vast share of its oil from the Middle East. But why didn't they initiate actions to protect interests?

Personally, I believe that the United States found this to be a perfect opportunity to establish a base in the strategic Middle East, to complement such bases as those in Germany, Indonesia, etc.

The United States had some naval forces in the Arabian Gulf, but never on the mainland.

No matter what happens, I am an Iraqi and damn proud of it. My country has a great and lengthy history (Mesopotamia), is full of culture (Arabic) and complies to great ethical values (Islam). No matter how many fools rule it, I will love it despite them. I am an Iraqi, an Arab and a Moslem. My identity is not to be used against me.
