Study creates ill-feelings for researchers By Mark Hopkins Senior Staf!Writer Allegations of Palomar student participants tampering with a study testing the effects of vitamin C on the common cold have been made by one of the key researchers involved with the project.

Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling has, since 1970 in his book "Vitamin C and the Common Cold," advocated taking megadoses of the vitamin to avoid colds and flu. Pauling has acted as an advisor with the project. The federal government suggested in 1980 a recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 60 milligrams of vitamin C for adults. Townsend-Merino and Boyajian gave in the double-blind study 4000 milligrams, which is nearly 67 times the federal RDA of vita-

He said doses as high as one-half pound per day have been administered with "no deleterious effects," and that no lethal dose has been found for the substance in man. The study started with 100 subjects, and ended with 68. Boyajian said a new trial will probably be conducted. Townsend-Merino and Boyajian

Reggae star Jimmy Cliff will headline a landmark concert at Palomar College on Oct. 14. The concert heralds the return of a major rock concert event at Palomar after a nine-year hiatus. The Palomar Music Festival will take place on the golf driving range above parking lot 9. Five bands will take the stage between noon and 6 p.m. The concert which was slated for the end of the spring semester was postponed for security and liability concerns expressed by campus officials. Concert promoter Kevin Hellman convinced Palomar's Governing Board in June that Backstage Entertainment Agency would take care of security and liability insurance. With this vote, the show would go on - again. "He (Kevin Hellman) really painted a picture where everything is going to be great," said Jim Bowen, student activities director. "Potentially, this could be a nice event," said Mike Norton, public information director. "It (the concert) has to be a squeeky clean situation. Maybe it will lead to getting a permenent amphitheatre back there." The concert is a joint effort between campus radio station Neo-99 and the Associated Student Government. According to Neo-99 Promotions Director Jim Bloom, the date chosen for the concert is perfect. He said that there would be a lack of concerts in San Diego County during the time of the concert, and they were able to sign top bands for the event. Appearing in addition to Jimmy Cliff will be The Untouchables, Psychenfunkapus, Cardiff Reefers and Pat Pando's Full Tilt. The concert is the first of its kind at Palomar in nine years. Gates open at 11 a.m. The amount of concert-goers has been limited to 3,000.

Afrikan-American Student Alliance welcomes¡ all races By Stacy Alessio Staff writer "The Afrikan American Student Alliance (AASA) is a student clul;> for every race, creed and color, but focuses on African American achievement," says club president Jeffrey Little. Little says that the primary goal of AASA is to bring students, especially minorities together, to become a family. Up until this year, AASA called themselves the Black Student Alliance, but according to Little, they changed their name to the Afrikan American Student Alliance for two reasons. One, the black students wanted to be recognized for their heritage, not the color of their skin. Secondly, Little said he felt that the club name was intimidating. "At last year's Club Day, when we had a BSA banner hanging over our heads, students seemed to shy away from our booth," said Little. When asked about prejudice on campus, Little replied that there is, what he likes to call, a "thinly veiled prejudice" at Palomar. He said that while it is nothing you can quite put a finger on, he does not feel that Palomar is quite in tune with it's minority students, and AASA plans to do something about it. Clu~ members, with the help of Felipe Rengal of the Early Academic Outreach Program, plan to go into junior and senior high schools and work Iii peer cotmsel-
Intensive Spanish classes offered Palomar College is offering intensive Spanish classes during winter break at what George Pesacreta, Associate Professor of Foreign Languages at Palomar, calls "the best foreign language school in Mexico." From Dec. 27 through Jan. 19, 1991, qualified students can earn five to eight college credit units and live with a Mexican family in Cuernavaca, just outside Mexico City. Students will either take an intermediate or advanced five-unit Spanish class, or also an optional "Special Studies in Spanish" class, which explores the language and culture of Mexico. Fees will total $700 for California residents, including program fees, room and board, transportation and airport transfers. Book costs, credit fees and airfare are not included in this total. Brief trips to surrounding areas are said to be available at "reasonable costs." Interested students may attend the information meeting on Nov.

ors. Their goal will be to prepare students, especially minorities, for college. This program is a result of what Rengal says is "a low percent of minorities enroll1ing and graduating from college." According to Little, AASA had a similar peer counseling program planned before Rengal came to Palomar with his idea, but Little said that he feels that this program is working out well this way. "Not only are we getting
the job done, but we are getting paid for our time," said Little. AASA is also planning social awareness groups, and hopes to become more involved with the Inter Club Council (ICC), according to Little.

Voter turn-out low in elections By Laura Woolfrey Campus Beat Editor Out of a student population of 25,000,only 196votedonSept.28 in this year's Associate Student Government (ASG) election. Despite the poor tum-out, ASG officers say they are looking forward to leading students into a good year. Senators Laime Trigas, Timothy Platt, Christopher Tritchka, Nnamdi Nnoli Jr. , Mette Urbach, Michelle Futami, Angela Snedeker and Michele Shepard were sworn in yesterday at their first offical ASG meeting. Senators Tom Turk and Rob Aikins were not sworn in due to their absence from the meeting. Eleven students ran for 10 senatorial positions. Candidate Massino Bordi lost by ten votes. Wednesday's meeting was the first time that the new senators were permitted to vote during an ASG meeting. Urbach said that she is pleased to see the new senators participate in the first offical meeting as much as they did. ''I'm pleased to see them (senators) jump right in on the first meeting," said Urbach, "I hope that the enthusiasm continues throughout the
year." Many of the new senators said that there are issues they would like to address. Platt said that he would like to see prices go down in the cafeteria and in the bookstore. "Other colleges around the county have lower prices. I know a lot of people who go to other college campuses to buy their books," said Platt. Tritchka said that he would like to see voting boxes installed on the satellite campuses. "If we put voting boxes on the satellite campuses, it would encourage students and make them feel like they are more part of Palomar," said Tritchka. School spirit is also something that Tritchka would like to address. "I want to get more people involved in school spirit, and to be more aware of what's happening in ASG." Trigas said she also wants to increase school spirit. She said that she intends to do this by participating as a student representative on the Publications Board. ASG President Sean Nix said that he is looking forward to working with the senators as a team. "We should work together as a whole, not as individuals, and try to help eachother."

By Laura Woolfrey Campus Beat Editor Roughly half of Palomar students declined to pay $1 for the new student representation fee this fall. The student representation fee was established so that Associated Student Government (ASG) would have funds available to attend conferences, (which are often held out of state), in order to address issues which concern community colleges. In Sept. 1989 it was decided with a two-third vote by the ASG that an extra dollar would be tacked on to student fees. However, there is a clause which allows students to waive the extra dollar, and apparently many students chose to take advantage of. Monies received from the student representation fee this fall roughly totaled $12,000, as opposed to a larger sum of $20,813 that would have been recieved if all 20,813 of Palomar's students, who pay tuition, elected to pay the extra dollar. ASG Treasurer Kevin Nesby said that he feels that many students waived the the fee because parking fees were raised. "Parking fees have doubled since 1987," said Nesby. All of the campus clubs and organizations (including the ASG) receive funds from the student government budget which has $7,300 in the account to date. According to Director of Student
Activities, Jim Bowen, the student government budget was not able to provide sufficient funds for ASG members to attend state conferences, where student government represenitives take a stand on issues concerning community colleges. In 1988onlyonerepresentative from the ASG was able to attend the state conference due to lack of funds. ASG President Sean Nix said because of the student representation fee, that he, Nesby, ASG Vice President Jason Van Foeken, and five senators will be able to attend the California Community College Conference (CCCSAA) in San Jose on Oct. 13 to represent Palomar on issues that affect its students. Nix said that five senators with the highest number of votes will be chosen to travel to the CCCSAA conference. "The harder they campaign, the more likely they are able to go," said Nix. One issue that will be raised at CCCSAA concerns tuition for community colleges. Presently, tuition for students who are California residents is $5 a unit. However, the present law concerning fees expires December 1991. According to Bowen, there is a chance that this fee could be raised. "We are using the money from the student representation fee to represent students (at the conference) so that the tuition doesn't get raised," said Bowen. Other issues that ASG members are intending to discuss, con-
cern a property tax fee that reduces the community college budget, and a new law on shared governance and its effect on students.
Bowen said he feels that the student representation fee is not just beneficial to ASG, but to the other organizations and clubs as well. "Now we have more money to use for other student programs," said Bowen.

Another break-in Vitamin C reported on campus (continuedfrompage1)
By Todd Anderson Staff Writer
"This area is not as safe as it used to be," says Assistant Professor of physical education and health Jon Cnossen. Sometime between 7 p.m. Sept.l2 and 7 a.m. Sept. 13, Cnossen 's campus office was broken into and several personal items stolen. The burglar smashed a window to slip into Cnossen's office and made off with a VCR, a heart monitor, several items of clothing and a bike-tool bag along with some other personal items, valued at about $650. Also ·tost in the break-in was a Lange skinfold caliper (used to measure percentage of body fat), which was the only item belonging to the school. It is not yet known whether the items will be replaced. In his 13 years at Palomar, Cnossen has never had anything like this happen to him before. "A few years ago the weirdest thing would be guys running into the girls locker room," Cnossen recalls ,"now you can't leave anything in your office." As a result of the break-in, Cnossen has been taking all of his personal items home at night. Cnossen said that whoever committed the break-in "wasn't very smart. They left a medicine box that was fully loaded and a $1,000 bike." The campus is patrolled at night after 10 p.m. and on weekends by
one Pinkerton security officer. Cnossen said that he feels that the campus isn't patrolled very well. "I've been here for several hours on weekends, swimming, and sometimes no one comes around." When Cnossen presented his problem to his department chairperson he was told that"We'lljust have to put barricades on all the windows." Cnossen said that this might be an effective way of preventing break-ins but not one he'd favor, "it would be like being in jail." Cnossen said he feels the idea of a central alarm is a good idea. "A few years ago I would have said no. But today I'd have to say yes," to the idea of an alarm.
Lighting (continued from page 1)
"Our campuses in Southern California are prime hunting ground for the kind of vermin that preys" on college women, said Governing Board trustee Robert Roseen. Roseen is among a group of people who feel that Palomar's lighting has room for improvement. "I've been here late at night for board meetings and I feel some areas aren't very well lit," Roseen said.

The restaurant is the idea of entrepreneur Maria Lemas, a former student here at Palomar College. "She took an independent bid and is leasing it on a yearly contract," said Director of Food Services Nick Paz. Her cost will be $3,000 a month or 15 percent of sales, whichever is more.

Famous landmark to go by the 'whey-side' By Ziad Al-Dahhan Staff Writer
The white tower on Mission Road that declares "We love San Marcos" is a landmark most Palomar students know well. The cows, flies and stench are also hard to miss. This is the Hollandia Dairy. North County's rapid growth rate over the last few years has caused many rural landmarks to fall by the wayside. The dairy, a landmark since the early 50s, may soon be succumbing to the encroachments of suburbia. Plans are afoot to develop the property, according to Pete de Jong, general manager of the dairy. A thousand cows, dust, odor and flies, right in the midst of rapid growth doesn't make sense. The cows may have to go. The dairy is collaborating with the Rural Richland Neighborhood Community Group as well as the City of San Marcos to develop the
property. However, de Jong says that the milk plant and distribution aspect of the operation will remain, and most employees will retain their jobs. The dairy was originally founded in the early 20s by the Brown family and was bought by the de Jongs in 1951. "It was very tough for them," said Pete de Jong, the big cheese at the dairy. "My brothers were pretty good salesmen and they gave them tough competition. So, this man was a very kind man, a good man. He had about four or five employees and it cost him too much to defend himself. So, he said 'Hey, whydon'tyou buy it?"' For under $24,000, the de Jongs purchased all 17 acres, a home, a dairy barn and 120 cows. "We were not very fond of the location, because it was far out of town," says de Jong. "We lived on the south side of Escondido on Felicita Avenue ... so we had to go all the way to San Marcos to milk the cows.
Michael Bagstad I Stoff Photographer
Pete de Jong owner and manager ofthe HoUandia Dairy, strolls in front of the milk processing plant, a landmark in San Marcos since 1951. The plant will stay but the cows may not. "But then there were 120 cows on the place ... Our place really had a capacity for 30 cows, but we were milking 70. So, all of a sudden, we got a place with 120 cows and that was a vast improvement." In 1956, the lease on the creamery on Grand and Ivy in Escondido
was lost, and the de Jongs moved out and built a creamery in San Marcos. Tom de Jong, Pete de Jong's oldest brother, originally bought the place in San Marcos. "He was the one who was really handling the whole thing at the time," re-
calls Pete de Jong. De Jong now handles the administration aspect of the dairy, while other members of his family handle all other operations, such as processing, sales, overseeing the herd and milk production. There is a similar operation In Cloverdale, Calif. which is overseen by de Jong's son ,William. Things have not always been as smooth as butter, according to de Jon g. 1962 was the beginning for tough years ahead for the dairy. Supermarkets sold more and more milk and the retail business became hard to operate. So, they went into the wholesale business and started to produce milk in cartons. But unfamiliar brands were harder to market to stores.

As a result, they turned to wholesale selling and school delivery. "That was a long, hard struggle, but you keep struggling dlld finally you grow," he said. For 10 years, starting in 1978, the dairy lost a lot of money. "It was a very bad time for milk distributors. Business was bad, but we have cows and resources and we've weathered.

Student representation fee gives political voice to school Remember the one dollar optional student representation fee that was asked from all student this year at registration time? Slightly more than half of the students paid the fee, while many others took the time to fill out a written statement explaining why a dollar is either too much of a financial burden or moral inconvenience. But this student representation fee is not just another bureaucratic invention to milk more money out of students for unrelated or insignificant causes, this fee directly aids our school. Consented to by a two-thirds vote on bill 76060.5 in last year's elections, the representation fee provides funds for the Associated Student Governrnent and others to represent Palomar College in major state and local political issues. Before the fee was implemented, money to lobby on our behalf had to come from the ASG's regular budget, depleting the funds available for school-centered activities and clubs. Now the ASG's budget is freed to help support various organizations, such as the speech team or this very school paper, while the student's interests are still represented across the state. The issues that will be lobbied./ ¡on Palomar's behal; directly affect the students. This year the fee will be used to fight against the county 's decision to charge school districts for the costs of collecting property taxes. If allowed to occur, the county's action could cost Palomar over one-quarter million dollars thereby reducing the community college budget. In addition, an issue that hits even closer to the students, our tuition costs, will be fought for by our ASG. Our $5-perunit tuition is scheduled to expire December 1991. Many of us are here at Palomar because the tuition for universities are far from our reach financially , and the reasonable costs to attend a community college provides us with an education, minus the financial downfall. With the possibility of tuition increases, the necessity for sending representatives to lobby for our interests is obvious. This year, $12,000 was raised for the representation fee. Although a large sum, this could have reached $20,813 if all of the students taking classes for credit had participated. Is a dollar really that much? This fee, while being truly beneficial for the student body, is nominal if all of us pay it at registration time. But more than that, it is another way for students to have a voice across the state for our interests. Now that the possibility of Palomar having representation at the state level is even more secure, students should take more of an interest in our student governrnent. Taking the time to voice concerns to ASG President Sean Nix or any of the newlyelected senators could help insure that they are constantly aware of our needs and will use the fee to meet these needs through lobbying on a state and local level. Jim Bowen, director of student activities, is quick to point out that this fund is not restricted to the ASG. Any campus group with a logical state or local political concern which affects Palomar could feasibly use the funds to lobby. Now that the budget exists, let's take the advantage ofthe possibilities that arise from it. Palomar students need not be shut out of the political processes that affect the school, they can go and be a part of them.

Hypocrites limit religious freedom Part of religious freedom is the right to practice those rituals that are necessary for spiritual fulfillment. Just as Catholics drink wine at communion to symbolize the blood of Christ ::.nd Christian cults in the American south dance with poisonous snakes to symbolize "dancing with the serpent" of Eden, members ofthe Native American Church smoke the cactus Peyote to create a spiritual state in religious ceremony. In April, however, the United States Supreme Court struck a severe blow to the right to religious ceremony. The court upheld an Oregon state decision not to give unemployment benefits to two members of the Native American Church after they were fired from their jobs as counselors in a drug rehabilitation center. They were fired because they admitted using Peyote in a religious ceremony. The state of Oregon justified its actions by saying they were in keeping with the state's attempt to reduce drug abuse, and the court agreed. The position that Oregon and the Supreme Court have taken is nothing more than hypocritical-and, no doubt, unconstitutional as well. The state refused to give the two members of the Native American Church, AI Smith of the Klamath Indian tribe and Galen Black, who is not an American Indian, unemployment benefits. Oregon reasoned that "workers in a drug rehabilitation program should not be drug users themselves," as explained by columnist Curtis Sitomer in the Christian Science Monitor. Now, really, should a person who uses some sort of hallucinogen only for the purposes of religious ceremony be considered a "drug user?" Wine is used in the Catholic Church during communion. Alcohol is considered a drug. If this is the case, parishioners of the church should also be deemed "drug users," but they have yet to be. Just as the church sees wine as sacred, representing the blood of Christ, Peyote is sacred to the Native American Church. They believe it embodies the Holy Spirit. These two religious

P.O.V. (Point of View)
Roman Koenig in some religious ceremonies. Oregon is not one of these states. Sure, this country's attempts at curbing the drug problem may be noble. It loses that nobility, however, when religious rights are intervened in the process. Constitutional rights should not be moved to the back of the train in cases like this. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," states the First Amendment of the Constitution. This, along with free speech, is one of the major principles of our democracy, and that democracy is lost when those rights are undermined for any circumstance. This is where hypocrisy comes in to the picture. The state of Oregon believes that it can get a grip on its drug war by violating the constitutional right to free practice of religion. The highest watchdog of the Constitution, the Supreme Court, agrees with this assumption. The belief that these rights take the back burner, and that one religion is prosecuted because of its rituals when another with a similar ritual is not, shows that the American government is hypocritical. Democracy cannot survive when a government says it believes in one thing, and yet does the opposite-when religious rights are subdued because they are labeled as drug abuse.

Time to conserve water before County runs dry By Amelia Bowles Staff Writer Due to the four-year-old drought, Southern California was forced to increase the importing of our water from the Colorado river. San Diego County residents have abused water usage for far too long. Early this summer Mayor Maureen O'Conner, in an attempt to reduce our dependency on imported water, asked the residents of San Diego to cut their usage by 10 percent. The mayors of Poway, Escondido and Vista quickly followed suit. Though the plan is a good one, with most people complying, there is still room for improvement. Many times, both on and off campus, I have seen lawns and plants being watered at high noon, the worst time of day. Watering during this time doesn't help plants, it actually destroys them. Not only does the heat from the sun cause rapid evaporation, but the water droplets on the plants become magnifying lenses for the sun's rays. This actually burns the plants and eventually kills them. What a waste of our most precious commodity. There are many excellent ways for homeowners and apartment dwellers alike to save water. If we Californians want the lush greenery found back East, then the very least we can do is water at night when it is most effective. Night time watering, with a good drip system, allows deep saturation of the roots and avoids evaporation. This eliminates the daily spot watering as most vegetation needs water only once a week. There are ways to save water inside as well. Use a bucket in the shower or the kitchen to catch water while waiting for it to get to the desired temperature. This excess water can then be used for watering house plants or even to wash the car. Use the washing machine and dishwasher only when there is a full load, any thing less than that is a waste. Have leaks repaired as soon as rossible since a leaky faucet will waste up to 50 gallons of water a day. Better yet, why not allow Southern California to revert to its natural state. A desert can be beautiful and more beneficial, than to suddenly find outthat our water resources have gone dry. Hopefully, everyone here on campus, as well as at home, will do their best to conserve as much water as possible. If we don't, we will all lose out.

Should we have mandatory water conservation in San Diego County? (Photos by Tracy Wilson)
Let there be light at Palomar By Todd Anderson Staff Writer Preventative measures can be extremely effective at saving lives when exercised, however, they don't mean a thing if they are only a thought and not a reality. It is estimated that one in five college students are victims of violent crime. That would mean 5,000 students here at Palomar College. A safety precaution is the use of good night-lighting in parking lots and walkways on college campuses. Since 1986 many state senators and families of college students have been pushing a bill in the State Legislature that would have set a lighting standard for all of the state colleges and universities. A bill was signed into law last week by Governor George Deukmejian, but it was not the bill that many senators and families of students wanted. The bill that was signed only calls for a lighting standard for all future state colleges and universities. The new law does nothing for any of the college campuses that have students and violent crime right now. Campuses like Saddleback College, University California, Irvine and San Diego State University which have pages of reports of violent crimes against student on campus property will not be mandated to improve the lighting conditions that exist now and play host to numerous crimes. The main opposition to the original bill which included
all campuses, were the Universitiy of California administrators. Yes, they are the people that are supposed to be looking out for the best interest on their campuses. Their main objection was that the cost would be between $7.5 million and $15 million to improve the lighting of the parking lots and walkways on their campuses. Mike Ellis, directer of Buildings and Grounds, guessed it would cost in excess of $1 million for Palomar to improve its lighting in the parking lots. As it stands, all fees collected from parking sticker sales are to be used for maintenance and improvement of all parking lots and their stalls. At $12 a sticker for 25,000 students over the course of three years, the fees would generate $1.8 million. This should be a sufficient down payment on a lighting improvement that could help to insure student safety at night. An increase in $5 to the parking sticker price would move the figure up to $2.55 million. Cost is no longer significant opposition . .Robert Roseen, Governing Board trustee, supports improved lighting and has said, "If improved lighting saves one life or prevents one attack then it is worth it." Palomar must take the initiative to insure safety for its students. Good lighting is a texti.book deterrent to crime. Let's help lock the door on violent crime and keep it out of our campus. By taking the initiative to improve our lighting, Palomar will become a beacon oflighting that other schools can look to when it comes to insuring campus safety.
Scientists' magic wand fails again Scientists are trying to perfect the art of creation again, but somehow their magic wand keeps getting stuck. Confusing legal conflicts have arisen over a newborn boy named Michael Christopher, according to his genetic parents, or Matthew, according to the woman who was impregnated with him through in vitro fertilization. For a $10,000 paycheck, surrogate mother Anna Johnson agreed to carry the embryo that Mark and Crispina Calvert, with the help of scientists, created in a test tube. With money exchanged and baby born, this "joint conception" seemed fine until Johnson decided that she would sue for custody of the child. Presently, the court has decided that the Calverts will keep what may be their baby, while consenting to twice-aweek visits by Johnson, pending a hearing next week to see who in this parental trio receives actual custody of the child. This is only a recent example of medical tinkering in reproduction gone haywire. Surpassing the "Baby M" case where a surrogate mother sought custody of a child for whom she furnished the egg, this is the first case where the surrogate has no genetic bond, but only the natural relationship that develops after carrying a baby to term. But these are not the only cases of in vitro peculiarities. The case of the seven frozen embryos joins the list of magical mix-ups. Conceived in a test tube with the sperm and egg of then-married Junior Lewis and Mary Sue Davis, the zygotes were frozen pending future implantation. Suing ¡for divorce in February 1989, Mr. Davis tried to prevent his wife from using the embryos without his consent, while she sought to use them for either herself or for a childless couple. Recently an appeals court decided that the couple must jointly determine the future of these zygotes. The fate of their microscopic offspring has yet to be

decided. This "Brave New World" where scientists mix together reproductive materials in petri dishes and create human life defies all ethical and moral boundaries. Not only subjecting children to strange parental triangles, this practice allows for legal disputes which could potentially hurt the child.

Stage Right Tracy Wilson that have the eyes of the mother or the nose like the father? Since 1978, scientists have created over 5,000 children through in vitro fertilization while destroying millions of others through abortion. The inconsistency is obvious. It seems that America only respects life if they can create and destroy it at will. Wake up America: the art of creation is full of sticky legal conflicts, not to mention bizarre moral consequences. If women all over the nation cannot handle the responsibility of carrying to term a baby conceived through natural methods, what makes us think that one mixed together in a petri dish will make things any easier?

'In-N-Out' satisfies appetite By Peggy Stackle Copy Editor North County take notice. InN-Out Burger is here. It arrived two months ago along Highway 78 just past the Emerald Drive exit and across the street from the DMV in Vista. I arrived at 12:50 p.m. There were seven cars in the drivethrough line and about 14 people in line inside. The line did move quickly, though; and was full of Palomar College students. One Palomar student, Janice Emery, said she was there because they have good cheeseburgers and a limited menu. "you don't have to spend an hour reading the menu," she said. She, and the rest of Palomar's Women's basketball team will meet there for lunch tomor-
bun was toasted, the meat was cooked "medium" and it was not so juicy that it ran down my arm. It was also just big enough to get one's mouth around it. The fries were the shoe-string variety and were not overly greasy. The shake was smooth and rich - haven't had one of those for a long time -butl imagine I would have had to walk back to campus to work off the calories. According to Kathy Emery, her dad, a restauranteur for many years, says "it's the best place you can get a hamburger, there's no other place." Mr. Emery owns the Sports Inn-Sports Page in Mission Valley and Kathy Emery has managed it for the last five years. Janice chimed in with the fact that not just one social class meets at the In-N-Out. Teens, adults,

Steve told us that business would slow down a little between 2 and 4 p.m. but then it would be right back to the long lines. This was confirmed by Janice and Kathy who said that on Friday nights the line for the drive-thru wraps around through the parking lot and out onto the street. There may be as many as 25 cars in the

line. The amazing thing is that this just doesn't matter to these people. Steve has been with In-N-Out since January of this year and works wherever he's needed, store to store, back or front. He tells us that In-N-Out first opened in October of 1948 and there are 62 stores in California now but that they plan to have 75 by the end of 1991. In San Diego county, stores will go in to Mira Mesa, Kearny Mesa, National City. El Cajon, Pacific Beach, Escondido and Carmel Mountain Ranch will follow. In the next three years they will be in Las Vegas and Bakersfield. In-N-Out has its own meat department. The meat arrives every day "on the hook." It is a 1:3 ratio, steer to cow with less than 18% fat. That is why the meat is so consistently good. Steve says the USDA uses the In-N-Out meat packing facility as a model for other packers. On my tray was a placemat that tells "A Short Story" of "How your French fries got here." They
use Kennebec potatoes, grown just for In-N-Out. Steve admits that Russets are used if ever the Kennebecs are not available. The potatoes are delivered daily to the stores and are cooked to order in cholesterol-free vegetable oil. Meat patties are prepared and delivered every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Three million hamburger patties per week are prepared for the 62 stores. The buns are baked in Los Angeles. The shakes are made from real ice cream, not ice milk, with syrup for the chocolate and strawberry shakes. The lemonade is made from concentrate, not powder. Steve tells us that they used to serve "white lemonade" but when they changed to pink lemonade sales really jumped. In-N-Out Burger also offers a catalog for their merchandise line (T-shirts, hats, etc.). They don't advertise much, just a little radio and TV in the slow period according to Steve. Steve is a loyal, happy em-

ployee. He says the company treats their associates well and that level 1 (entry level) associates make $6.00 an hour. The benefit package covers medical insurance and other fringe benefits. He's looking for a long career with InN-Out. I didn't see an unhappy face there and I heard no one complain about the wait. The wait, after all, was not that long and they seem to have the process down to a science. As I listened to all that was said about the quality of the food and the business, what I was hearing was "old-fashioned values" in a "newfangled environment." Here's the critical part. Would I give up my 7 a.m. parking space at Palomar for the sevenmiledrive for an In-N-Out burger? No, but then there isn't much for which I would give that up.

'GoodFellas' maybe, sweethearts no By Tony Cavallo Entertainment Writer If you're expecting a romantic, eloquent, and honor-filled mafia movie where family and loyalty are more important than even money, Martin Scorsese's new film, "GoodFellas," may surprise you. Profit is the only motive in this mob, with loyalty and honor almost nonexistent. From the non-fiction bestseller "Wiseguy", "GoodFellas¡: is based on the rise and fall of Henry Hill, an Irish/Italian mobster. Henry, played by Ray Liotta, gets his first mafia job at the age of 13 and works his way up by hijacking trucks, fencing stolen goods and dealing in guns and drugs. He is eventually caught, so he trades his friends for his freedom. Liotta plays his part well, making the
character seem realistic, especially towards the end of the movie, when Henry is on drugs. And what would a Mafia movie be without Robert De Niro, who plays Jimmy Conway? The man simply looks like a confident criminal. Definitely someone you would not want to offend. Of course the same goes for Tommy De Vito, played by Joe Pesci. His short temper is responsible for most of the pain-feeling groans from the theater audience. Pesci does well playing such a changing character, transforming from a joking guy to a brutal murderer in seconds. Paul Sorvino plays Paulie Cicero, the quiet but dangerous crime boss the three work for. Sorvino's character never seems to develop and is easily forgettable.
Henry Hill's wife, Karen, is played by Lorraine Bracco. Karen is a middle class Jewish girl who makes the transformation to mafia wife surprisingly smoothly. Although I wouldn't classify "GoodFellas" as a bloody or gory movie, there are a few murder scenes. These shouldn't keep you away from seeing the film because they help in developing the characters and actually add to the overall quality of the movie. The music in this film is good, ranging from some forties jazz to Sid Vicious singing "My Life" during the closing credits. Overall this is a good movie and I might even venture to say it could possibly be a future classic. I would recommend it to anyone except those who really cannot stand the sight of blood.

'Dead Milkmen' play live By Tony Cavallo Entertainment Writer and Lee B. Eddy Jr. Contributing Writer When I heard there was going to be a free concert at UCSD last Friday, I wanted to go. When I heard that it was going to start in three hours, I knew I couldn't. When I heard that the Dead Milkmen were going to be playing, I knew I had to. It was time to skip my classes, grab a few friends and race to La Jolla. I'm glad I did. The scruffy, Philadelphia-based foursome put on quite a show, opening with "Big Lizard" and playing for almost a full two hours. The band stopped only for an occasional moment so vocalist Rodney Anonymous Melloncamp (no relationship to John Cougar) could share his ginger ale with the audience. Melloncamp virtually made the show, with his hilarious antics, abstract social, political and religious comments and his new and fancy dances, The Monkey, The Junkie, and The Honkie.
Guitarist and vocalist Joe Jack Talcum, compared to Melloncamp, seemed a little reserved and didn't do much during the concert. Bassist Dave Blood looked as if he really didn't want to be there and maintained an expression of disgust throughout the entire performance, except for the excited pause he took to take his asthma medicine. But percussionist Dean Clean appeared to be having a great time, smiling and sweating like only a Dead Milkman can. The Milkmen's music can be best classified as alternative. Best known for their MTV and college radio hit "Punk Rock Girl", they have a following among several different types of people, from hard-core skinhead punks to repressed, creative, college journalists (No, we weren't the only ones.) The audience combined a pretty violent slam pit with a multitude of students on a grass hill, wondering just who this crazy band was. The Milkmen maintained an

Comet volleyball void of any preseason wins By Nick Sherr Sports Writer
After four pre-season dual matches, the Palomar women's volleyball team has come up with a zero in the win column. "I think it's a lack of mental toughness when it comes down to the final game in the match," said Coach Duncan McFarland. "All of our matches have been close except against Long Beach City college, where we lost three in a row. That was embarrassing." The bright spot of the 7-15, 615, 10-15 loss came in the third game when McFarland brought in players from off the bench. "The girls who came in showed a lotofhustle even though we came up short," added McFarland. Two of the women that earned the highest number of "kills" versus Long Beach came off the bench and happen to be sisters; Katie Senk with 7 kills, and Amanda with 5. The match with Riverside City
College had the scores of a rollercoaster ride with the Comet's passing out at the end of the ride. The scores of the Comet loss are 10-15, 15-8, 6-15, 15-9, 4-15. McFarland said the Riverside team was very strong. "In fact, one girl on their team was carrying them with her strong net play." McFarland continued, "to be a successful athlete you need to realize some points are more important than others. The fifth game is the most important. The other games don't matter when you're in the fifth ." That is something he wants the players to take hold of. Despite the loss, there were strong performances from Allison McConnell with 13 kills, Stacee Alexander had 10 kills and three stuff blocks, and Ashley Prosser with eight kills and three stuff blocks. Earlier in the season, Saddleback College slid by Palomar in the semifinals at the Saddleback tournament, 1-15,6-lS.Fourdayslater

Craft said, "We've got to be able to elevate our level of intensity when we have to." The Comets' defense showed extreme intensity during last Saturday's game. Linebacker Lotoa Tupolo, better known as Junior, made a big impact on the field, as did defensive lineman Tamasi Amituanai. Their aggressive style of play terrorized the Mt. SAC offense all day. Linebacker Sal Gelormini was also very intense, following one big hit after another. Defensive back Marcus Rankin, made a big interception, stopping a Mounties scoring drive before the end of the first half. Palomars offense, second best in state, had another big day. Quar-
terback Brett Salisbury, ranked first in state, had another big game completing25 of37passes, (13of 18 in the first half), for 245 yards. Salisbury hit receiver and back-up quarterback, Charles "Choo Choo" Walker, for a 10-yard touchdown pass. Odeious Pines, the Comets' top running back, scored two running touchdowns and sophomore, Eric Franssens, also scored on a 5-yard run. Placekicker Lino Persi, hit field goals of 20, 28 and 25 yards. Persi said after the game, "I wish I could of got a chance to get out there again." The offense though, could not come up with the big play when it was needed. In the fourth quarter, with about four minutes left, the
Comets faced a fourth and two situation at the Mounties 40 yardline. Coach Craft chose to go for it and running back Eric Franssens was stopped at the the line of scrimmage. Craft thought about punting in the situation, but he said that the players believed that they could make the yards. "If we got a first down there, then thatmight'vemade the difference in the game," said Craft. The Comets fell short by one point, again, for the second week in a row. Life does not get any easier for the Comets (1-3) next Saturday as they go on the road to play Mission Conference powerhouse, Pasadena City College.

Soccer struggles at the net Rich Donovan Sports Editor During preseason the men's soccer team was having trouble putting the ball in the net They would get the shots, but not the goals. Unfortunately forCoach Ron Riccitelli and his players this trend has continued right into the start of league play. "We just can't buy a goal right now," said Riccitelli. "We are playing well enough to win but are just unlucky right now." In the Comets' ftrst league game versus Imperial Valley, Palomar battled to a 1-1 tie. "We defmitely played the better game, but they made a shot with ftve minutes to play that they would normally miss. A 1 out of 100 chance shot," said Riccitelli.
Coach Riccitelli said that Imperial Valley's only goal came off of their only "legitimate attempt." "We dominated the whole game, but we were just unable to put it away once again," said Riccitelli. Next, the Comets had to take on defending league champions, San Diego Mesa College. "We were real positive going into the game," said Riccitelli. In the ftrst half the Comets were up 1-0, with a definite chance for an upset. But in the second half "we got a li~e flat," said Riccitelli. Mesa scored two goals while the Comets, again, could not put the ball in the net for the tieing goal. "We had two or three chances to score but we couldn't put it in," said Riccitelli.
In most recent soccer action,the Comets hosted Mira Costa College on Wednesday. "Mira Costa is a run-and-gun team while we are a ball-control team," said Riccitelli. ¡ These two different styles of play conflicted. Thus, ending the game in a 0-0 tie. "We are just missing by a few inches. We are having no problem getting the shots but we just can't buy a goal right now," said Riccitelli. "We had a free a kick that just missed and several shots that missed." A high point in the game was the Palomar defense. They did not let in any goals. Keeper Charlie Daniels played well alQng with the solid play of the fullback line consisting of C.-D. Foster, Jeff Riccitelli, and Larry Head. "Our defense really shut them down," said Riccitelli. Right now the Comets have a record of2-
5 -3. The ties give them one point in the league while the wins give them two points. "So the ties are important,"said Riccitelli. In the last three games the Comets have given up a decisive goal in the last ftve minutes of each game. Coach Riccitelli says that the team seems to be letting down at t.i}e end, which is costly. "We still can catch fire," said Riccitelli. "In practice we can put one in from anywhere on the fteld, so I know that we have the ability to do it in games." In today's game the Comets take on Southwestern College. Palomar beat them twice last year so this could be the game that the men get it all together. "Our team attitude is good so we just have to get it all together," said Riccitelli. "We are about to catch fire real soon ... I can tell."

Lighting (continued from page 3) Some arguments against improving lighting on this campus are light pollution and cost. Ellis pointed out that "in San Diego County there are ordinances against light pollution." This is because the city lights at night interfere with the Palomar Mountain Observatory. Another argument against brightening up the Palomar campus is cost. Ellis said he believed the cost to replace all the lighting on campus could be in excess of $1 million. Roseen says he thinks the human costs of ignoring the problem justifiy the financial burdens associated with improving the lighting "if it saves one life or prevents one attack, then it is
worth it." All fees collected from parking sticker sales are to go to maintenance and improvement of the parking lots and their stalls. Roseen said "Parking fees is a prime candidate to generate funds for improvement (of campus lighting). It certainly is something to be considered." Campus Patrol advises students who are on campus at night to walk in groups, carry a flashlight or park close to your classroom in a well-lit area. Roseen said he would like to see Palomar offer a mace training course to give students some added protection, an idea already in practice at schools like Miramar City College.

Dairy (continued from page 5) Milk was at a surplus and the government was supporting production. "The large national creameries were trying to kill each other and we were in the middle of this thing. "For 10 years, you'd put money in, sometimes you'd make a profit, but most of the time you lost," said deJong. The problem was solved by the· Dairy Herd Buyout Program, where the government bought the cows instead of milk, and milk marketing became stabilized. "It was necessary medicine, not very well-tasting to the public maybe, but at least it removed the surplus from the market." Today, the dairy farm is 130 acres with 1,000 cows, in addition
