Concert is cancelled for second time By Fred E. Tracey News Editor Fans of reggae star Jimmy Cliff will have to wait until next spring in order to see their favorite reggae artist inconcertatPalomar. Cliff's talent agency, the William Morris Agency, told concert organizers that Cliff has been hospitalized for a respitory infection and would have to cancel 12 concerts on his western tour, including his appearance at Palomar Sunday. Without a star, organizers cancelled the concert and have postponed it until spring, jolting various people and business' associated with the event. Bryant Guy, Palomar's director of contracts said he was "surprised" over the cancellation. "I was kind of shocked," he said. "We put a lot of work into it." Cliff will not be able to tour again for at least another month, but instead of moving the concert to November or December and having' to deal with inclimate weather, the concert was postponed until sometime in the spring semester, when organizers hope the weather will be better for the event. "We would have just rescheduled it (the concert) for the fall had it not been for the weather," according to Kevin Helman of Backstage Entertainment, the concert's promoter. Helman estamited that "several hudred" tickets to the concert had been sold. Everyone who purchased a ticket is being reimbursed. Tickets were $13.50 for students and $15 to the general pubiic. The concert was to be held on the golf driving range above parking lot 9. Attendance at the
Jimmy Cliff concert was limited to 3,000 people, a stipulation placed on the event by campus officials. Helman put on a smaller-scale concert as a Palomar student eight years ago. He estimated that at least 1,500 to 2.000 people attended theevent,and there were no problems associated with it. Helman put on the concert while he was promotions director at the campus radio station and a member of the Associated Student Government. Helman is now owner of Backstage Entertainment, a company that books bands mostly into clubs in San Diego and around the state. Helman thinks it's time that Palomar got on the concert bandwagon, and the Palomar Music Festival, the name given to the concert, may be a way to test unsure waters. "We had dances in the Student Union (when I went to Palomar)," Helman said. "We never had a problem. I just think it's a good place to do a show. Ideally, we would like to do a series there next summer."

Hot Santa Ana winds helped fuel this fire on the south side of Mission Road, across the street from Palomar College, on Tuesday. Here, firefighters work to put out the blaze as Eucalyptus trees go up in flames. About all that was lost was an abandoned car.
Tuesday fire was close call By Todd Anderson Staff Writer Palomar students scrambled to their cars on Tuesday when a fire broke out in a field across from the campus. Shortly after 2 p.m., a small brush fire engulfed a large portion of the field across from Palomar on Mission Road. The fire began at the southern section of the field, aboutlO yards away from a wall that separates the field and two industrial buildings. The blaze, fueled by
dry, straw-like brush and a steady Santa Ana wind condition, spread over 300 yards within15 minutes. The blaze swiftly climbed at least 20 eucalyptus trees that outline the field and was prevented from moving along by a small creek near the trees. As the wind picked up, the burning cinders were carried across Mission Road to the bushes and trees near Palomar college parking Lot 14, causing several spot frres to bum. While some students on cam-

AIO seeks visibility and participation By Stacy Alessio Staff Writer
Jeffrey Cummins, of the American Indian Organization (AIO), said that he hopes "that our club will shed some light on an invisible culture." Cummins said that because students are not aware of campus clubs or activities, the level of participation is disappointing. In order to motivate students to become more involved, Cummins said that AIO plans to sponsor cultural events such as pow-wows. The AIO, founded in 1969 by Indian students at Palomar, gives the students, staff and faculty a chance to experience Indian culture, and become aware of Indian issues. Furthermore, it serves as an information center for Palomar's Native American students. Currently, the AIO is functioning without their president, Leroy Salgato, because he transfered to another school. However, the void may soon be filled by Dawn Miller, last year's vice-president, if she accepts the position as president Miller will be running solo for president on Oct. 15. Other officers will also be elected at that time. In the meantime, the eight members of the AIO are not sitting idle, according to Cummins, and have been making plans for the year. Wednesday the club had a fry

The scholarship will be for students who wish to continue on to a four-year college after leaving Palomar. To qualify for the scholarship, applicants need not be Native American. Any

According to the National Council on Alcoholism, "as many as 200,000 people a year die from alcohol related accidents and qiseases." In 1988, a survey performed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse indicated that 85% of people over age 12 have used alcohol at least once and 53% currently use alcohol.

Transit center i backo track By Alex Pisarczyk Staff Writer The proposed San Marcos transit center on thePalomarcarnpus will begin construction by spring of 1991. There is no completion date set for the center, but according to Mike Ellis, director of buildings and grounds, it will take six to eight months to complete. Planned originally in 1985, the center has gone through a series major delays. Last spring, the architect for the transit center, Paul Mahalik, died leaving 95-percent of the plans uncompleted. According to Steve Ron, senior transportation specialist of San Diego's Public Works office, Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall Architecture firm will redesign fifty percent of the original plans.
According to Mike Gregoryk, Palomar's vice president for finance and administrative services, another delay may surface if the State architect takes longer than expected to approve the new plans. The transit center will cover a four-acre area near the theatre. The construction of the $1.6 million center will be paid for by North County Transit District funds, and the public works office. Palomar is leasing the land for the center. It will consist of six stations for buses, a covered waiting area and a restroom facility, said Ellis. A commuter train station for the planned North County light-rail train connecting Escondido and Oceanside is also included in the plans for the future . Plans for the light-rail system call for a line connecting the Palomar campus with California State University, San Marcos.

As Palomar students clustered on Mission Road to watch the spectacle, clouds of smoke continued to be whisked across congested Mission Road and up the side of a hill behind Palomar.

Ellis said he was pleased with the transit center's progress. "We have been pushing for it for the last three years." He says the renter will make it easier for students, and visitors to get on to the campus. "It's going to provide greater safety to our students," said Ellis. Right now people who ride the bus to Palomar have to cross Mission Road, a four lane street to get to the campus. With the new transit center, students will be dropped off on campus. Steve Ron said that this will be the sixth transit center to be built in the county. The most recent center was opened in February in Escondido. The others built in the county are in Vista, at the University Towne Centre, at San Diego State University campus, in Oceanside, and in Chula Vista.

Staff Writer Mike Gregoryk, vice president offinanre and administrative servires, and Ryugi Ohnuma of the California Language Institute , rerently made an eight day trip to Japan to establish a sister city to San Marcos. Tsurugashima, the town chosen, is similar to San Marcos and will be helpful to the community in many ways. "Tsurugashima is a lot like San Marcos," Gregoryk said. " It is a rural suburb, not urban. It will become an officially recognized cityinsteadofatownin 1991 when
the population reaches 50,000 people." "The people there are unbelievably friendly," he said. "We met with the mayor, were taken on a tour of the city, and taken out to lunch." Tsurugashima has also recently built a new city hall, something San Marcos is planing to do in the near future. The two cities will be starting informal relations in three to five years. "The main purpose is to establish business relations." Gregoryk said. "The old days of jun11 kets are over. Many San Marcos ; companies can do business over there and Japanese businesses can
come over here." Hunter, a manufacturer of sprinkler heads, is one example of a San Marcos company already doing business in Japan. Gregoryk, a past president of the San Marcos Chamber of Commerre, hopes a number of other companies will be able to do the same. "·There's also an opportunity for educational exchanges," he said. Palomar will be involved training workers in computer operation andotherfeilds. "That's where the college plays a majors part" Gregoryk describes this trip has the "first touch" of a future relationship between the two cities.

intercourse, the remaining percentage due to bisexual or homosexual intercourse. According to a pamphlet distributed by the County of San Diego Department of Health services, "If both you and your partner are definitely not infected with HIV, you will NOT get AIDS by having sex with each other. If you have any doubts about yourself or your partner, get tested and practice safe sex."
By Amelia Bowles Feature Editor AIDS is a disease that knows no boundaries. It attacks people from all walks of life. The disease is sneaky; it can lay dormant for as long as 10 years before it rears its head and there is no cure. AIDS can and does kill. AIDS is not a gay disease, it is an equal opportunity disease. AIDS Awareness Week begins at Palomar college on Dec. 2 but the San Diego AIDS Foundation will be on campus Oct. 24. Luke Lugen, spokesperson for the foundation says that education plays a vital role in AIDS awareness. "This age group is the hardest to reach. They are in denial. They feel that because they are not gay, there is no way they can get AIDS ... this is far from the truth." According to Lugen, the Student Union area will have tables set up that will be loaded with information about AIDS and a film may be available for viewing. Condoms will be passed out as well. Also, a nursing assistant from Student Health Services will be available to speak to classes about the AIDS virus. No Guarantee of Sexual Safety "There are people on campus who are HIV positive," according to Jayne Conway, director of Student Health Services. "However there is an over-all increase in sexually transmitted diseases, not just with the AIDS virus. More and more diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis and genital warts are showing up on campus. Students on campus continue to be sexually active but aren't practicing safe sex," Conway added. Students on campus, said Lugen, can practice safe sex by first knowing their partner. "Just being in a monogamous relationship doesn't guarantee sexual safety," said Lugen. "Most young adults don't stay committed to one person over a long period of time. They instead have a series of relationships until they find the 'right one.'

This can be dangerous," added Lugen. According to the World Health Organization, young adults need to ask about the sexual background of their partner before engaging in sexual intercourse. A person with AIDS can look healthy, they don't necessarily have to be sick to spread the disease. San Diego County a High Risk Area San Diego County is at high risk for AIDS but very few studies have been done on teen-agers and young adults, said Lugen. "This is because there is no aggression on the part of the community to have this age group tested. Especially if the young person is in a high risk group," says Lugen. According to the state AIDS office, more new cases of AIDS will be reported in the four regions of San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, during 1991 than any other region in the state including Los Angeles. Students who think they may be in a high risk group, which includes having anal, vaginal or oral sex without a condom, oral-anal contact, sharing IV drug needles, and having sex while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, should be tested for the AIDS virus according to Lugen. Student Health Services will direct a student to the proper clinic
for free testing tl},at is confidential or anonymous. Conway says that while "we can do the test on campus, it will cost the student$50 and we don't have the necessary staff for counseling. Most students are sent to the county clinics which have better services." Palomar and AIDS Education Palomar college is currently setting up an AIDS education and support group and Lois Wunder] y, associate professor in behavioral science, is willing to sponser it. According to Lugen, North County has almost no support in AIDS related areas. "There are only two AIDS hospices, one in Oceanside and one in Escondido, in all of North County, says Lugen. "There are very few doctors in North County that are willing to treat those with the AIDS virus. Most people have to go to San Diego for treatment". Lugen also said that an active support group on campus would be a real asset. The support group would be pro-active not reactive, according to Lugen. "There is a need for outreach into the student community ... a need for more safe sex seminars. SDSU has a group on campus that specifically deals with AIDS and it's time for Palomar to have one too," Lugen added. · Human sexuality instructor Terry Humphrey, said that one week per semester is spent on sexually transmitted diseases with a lot of emphasis on AIDS. "Stu-
dents come into the class that week thinking they know it all," Humphrey says, "but by the end of the week they are amazed at how little they knew. They leave with a better understanding of the virus." Not everyone on campus is required to take the class, so many students go uneducated about sexual diseases, according to Humphrey. Humphrey also agrees that the cam pus needs as upport group, not only for students but for insLructors as well. "I showed a film about an HIV positive woman, who was a former student at Palomar. The film was extremely well done and had a powerful impact in its message. All the instructors on campus were invited to see it and only 20 or so showed up. Instructors need to be educated about AIDS just as much as the students do," said Humphrey. Age is a Factor with AIDS The Los Angeles Times in a recent article says that research shows that many women, teenagers and drug users continue to engage in unsafe sex practices and infections are rising. The Center for Disease Control reports that in San Diego County, age is a factor in AIDS - related deaths. Deaths occuring between the ages of25-30 reveal that many were infected in their teens and early 20s. Sixty percent of these infections were from heterosexual

How to have sex
Do•t )J- G"-vJ"'f
Let's have sex, safe sex that is. Of course the safest sex is no sex at all, but it is unrealistic to assume that everyone will abstain. Practicing safe sex would promote co.mmunication between partners, help prevent unwanted pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted disease. The first step in safe sex should be open communication. "Is this something we both really want and can take responsibility for?'' If the answer is "Yes," then there should be a two-way communication so each partner can become aware of the other's past and future sexual intentions. Everyone has the right to know how many people they are potentially sleeping with. The kind of protection against pregnancy and disease should also be discussed. There are many more female contraceptives than male, most likely because she will carry the child. But birth control must be shared and used correctly by both partners. This is something we really need to think about and practice religiously, especially since about half of the 1.5 million abortions performed in the United States each year are the results of contraceptive failure. Scientists are working on finding more male methods of birth control, which will be helpful. There has not been a new male contraceptive on the market in almost 200 years. Condoms, the main method of male birth control, should also be used for protection against disease. According to the Institute of Medicine in Washington D.C., 30 million Americans now have genital herpes. Thousands more are infected with herpes and do not know it. AIDS is an even more compelling reason to be selective and precautious when having sexual relations. Nationwide this year, AIDS has taken the lives of almost 90,000 people, while an estimated one million are infected with the virus. Since many researches believe that using condoms reduces the risk of contracting AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, it is imperative that individuals take the time to protect themselves and each other. With the information available and the severity of the AIDS disease well-known, it seems that practicing sex without using precautions is simply an indirect means of attempting suicide. Not only will practicing safe sex lower the chances of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, it would heighten communication between partners, and lessen the chance of an unwanted pregnancy. "Good sex" is not really sex at all. It is the art of emotionally e~pressing yourself, physically. There are many ways to be simultaneously safe and creative about it too, without being risky. It does not matter what age, what color, or what your sexual preference may be, we are all affected in some way or another if individuals refuse to take responsibility for their sexual actions and instead continually spread disease. It is important to practice safe sex, if sex is what two individuals have carefully decided upon doing. We of The Telescope encourage everyone to not play games when it comes to the risks of unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease, for this is a game that too many people loose.

Apology comes 45 years too late Apologies for anything shouldn't take 45 years to make. However, that is just what has happened to the thousands of Japanese-Americans interned in camps during World War II. After all of these years of waiting, those citizens have finally received their apology from the country of which they belonged. The apologies are coming in the form of $20,000 checks to those interned during the war. To me, this has added insult to injury to a very sad and inexcusable case.

On Wednesday, Attorney General Dick Thornburgh gave checks to nine elderly Japanese-Americans in a rest home. The ages of these recipients ranged from 101 to 107. These people were lucky to have gotten anything. Many of their counterparts died waiting for some sort of apology or retribution. At that event, Thornburgh said, "By finally admitting a wrong, a nation does not destroy its integrity but, rather, reinforces the sincerity of its commitment to the Constitution hence to its people." I beg to differ. Number one, finally admitting a wrong 45 years after it happened, and after so many of those interned fought in the courts for years to receive that apology without getting any results until these last few years, certainly does not raise the integrity of this nation. In fact, it is a disgrace.
Number three, no amount of money can erase the mental anguish and pam of knowing that their own country sent them to internment camps--an action many have likened to the concentration camps in Germany. No amount of money can erase the pain of watching an elder family member not die in peace, waiting for the day the United States would face up to what it did. No amount of money can erase the discrimination that took place after they were released, or after those Japanese who fought for the United States in the war returned home. There is no question that the government's decision to admit its mistake is good one. The fact that it 45 years to do is inexcusable.
Number two, many of the ·recipients who have so long waited for this retribution are literally dead of old age. The rest range in ages from 50 to 107. There is no

Should wedding bells ring for homosexuals? Gay and lesbian couples deserve equal rights By Amelia Bowles Feature Editor This is the ;90s and it's time for homosexual couples to have their share of human rights. Controversy regarding the rights of gay and lesbian couples, just because some people don 'tagree with the gay life-style, is becoming out-dated. The 1964 Civil Rights Act opened the door to human rights as well as equal opportunity for all people, not just a select few. Gay and lesbian couples think, feel and act the same way as straight couples. Loving someone from the same sex has nothing to do with their ability to function as a human being. As with any marriage, there must be a commitment and gay couples are no different. Many do formalize their relationships by repeating religious vows that are taken just as seriously as those of straight couples, but gay marriages have no legal status. This is a travesty. To "love, honor and cherish" means the same to homosexual couples as it does to straight couples. ¡ The need to legalize gay marriages is very important. These couples deserve the same rights in health benefits, tax write-offs, medical
care and child rearing as straight couples already possess. Hospitals have been known to discriminate against gays couples, especially if the loved one is critically ill and visitation rights are limited to the immediate family. For a straight couple this is no problem, but for a¡ gay couple this is not the case. Many times hospitals will not allow a gay spouse to visit because they are not family. While gay and lesbian couples can obtain durable powers of attorney, a legal document which will allow access to a hospital, this should not be necessary. Since the United States does not recognize gay marriages, gay couple have to file separate tax forms. They are denied the tax advantages that straight couples have, such as the privilege of filing jointly. Gay and lesbian couples own their homes and businesses. Why should homosexuals be discriminated against when they are doing their fair share to support the local economy? The IRS must include gay couples as well as
straight couples in its policies. Many gay and lesbian couples have children. There is a general belief that gay couples can't be parents. Contrary to this belief, a gay parent does not beget a gay child. Sexual orientation has no bearing on whether a gay parent is a good parent. Parenting skills come from knowing how to raise a child correctly. Not everyone is suited for parenthood. Many straight and gay couples have no business raising children. All one has to do is look at the amount of child abuse that is going on, most of which occurs in straight house-holds. Yet the Supreme Court as well as lower courts consistently remove children from gay households and place the child back with his or her straight parent. No regard is taken for the child's wishes, nor for the fact that the straight parent is not always a good parent. Homosexual couples are no different from heterosexual couples and deserve the same rights. These rights must be made legal by the Supreme Court and by Congress. As the Bill of Rights states, all Americans have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Homosexual couples mock marriage and family By Tracy Wilson
Editorial Page Editor Ozzie and Harriet have transformed into Ozzie and Ozzie and society is now being asked to accept their union. Homosexual groups are now fighting to twist societal morality by demanding marital rights ranging from coverage under their partner's health plan, to the rights of inheritance, adoption or filing joint tax returns. While a handful of cities have succumbed to homosexual pressure groups, others have stood strong, and rightly so. Homosexual "marriages" would open a plethora of legal, economic and moral difficulties. Ifhomosexual couples were allowed to share in employee health care, without the common definition of marriage to lay the boundaries, government would be forced to set standards and definitions of what constitutes a non-married couple. But who's to stop two people from claiming a relationship even if none exists? Economic difficulties also arise under homosexual marriage plans. When the city of West Hollywood passed a law allowing "domestic partners" to share in its employee insurance, no
Do you agree with budget proposals that raise taxes to reduce the deficit?
Business "Yes to a certain degree, everyone has to do what they can to help the deficit. I don't like the idea, but if it's necessary then it's necessary."
company would underwrite the deal so the city had to resort to self-insurance, a very difficult idea to implement nationwide. But more than these economic and legal technicalities, society would face a moral cost as well. And like our deficit, the future of America-its children, would carry most of this burden. Already, the legal system has granted a handful ofhomosexual couples "joint adoption" of children. According to Newsweek, one adopted boy told his teacher about his joint-father, saying, "That's my father's husband." This confusing family unit with two mommies or two daddies distorts gender relationships and is a disservice to the growing child. Proponents of the idea of extending these marital rights point out that, according to a census bureau report, fewer than 27 percent of the nation's 91 million homes fit the traditional idea of family. This breakdown in our society somehow, for them, holds a justification to tear it down even further. But
Business "The deficit is a number that no one can really comprehend, it is so far out there that it seems that we'll never get it paid off. Raising taxes won't do anything."
ohn Psychology "Absolutely, I think that it's the only way we can get out of the hopeless situation we are in."
at this point, with the family structure slipping away from America, it is not the time to bury the ideal, we must instead revive it. When we read that since 1960, rape in the United States has increased by 526 percent, the divorce rate has more than doubled, and that school dropouts have jumped from 59,000 to 726,000, we must realize that it is not the time to give up on the American family. Since most of a child's spiritual, political, moral and social development occurs in the early ages under the family's influence, it is not acceptable to allow the breakdown of this unit to occur any longer. Homosexual groups are not only looking for rights, they are seeking societal acceptanceoftheirpractices. They do not even wish to join the mainstream, they wish to alter it. Supporting homosexual rights of marriage does not make our country any more "openminded" or free, it only desecrates the family structure and leaves future generations alone in a society that has forgotten what it means to hold some set of standards. Giving homosexuals the same rights as married couples would be a mockery of marriage itself.
Political Science "Yes because we have to do something about getting the deficit down. They (congress) have to look at the long run, at the future."
Jennifer Graves Radio and Television "Congress takes liqueur and cigerette taxes for everything. It's time to say "no" and look at other issues, like cutting their salaries. Even smokers and drinkers deserve a break today."

'Static on Tempo' plays to punchy beat with ¡ style
By Hank Tritchka Staf!Writer The new band Static on Tempo is already polishing anoriginal sound and style that is pleasing audiences and getting attention. Band members Jim Hathaway, Jared Schultz, Shawn Corbin, Rhett Enerson and Philip Thomas-Scheers have been together since January, and have developed an understanding of each other's styles. Hathaway, vocalist for the band, is a theatre major at Palomar College. Corbin plays the base, Enerson beats the drums, Schultz puts the wind into the saxaphone, and Thomas-Scheers
leads with guitar. " I have jammed around with a few other musicians," saidCorbin," and I didn't fmd nearly the satisfaction that I've had playing with Phil over the years." He said that he just became spoiled to the fact that" Phil knows what I am going to do." "With this band we feel like we really have something good," said Hathaway," the chemistry is really good because we have been working together for so long." Hathaway actually has grown up with band member Thomas Scheers, and they have influenced each other's musical growth from the beginning. "Jim was a drummer before I played an instrument at all," said ThomasScheers. "I was at Jim's house one day, and I picked up his brother's guitar and started playing on it."
Hathaway said that he knew then that his friend had a natural talent for music. "A few weeks after that, Jim fmally talked me into taking up guitar lessons," Phil said. "I really give him credit for starting me on the guitar at all." Now after all the years of practice together, they are ready to go

Keeping up with time • on the grand p1ano By Ron Chatham Entertainment writer Ethel Grossman put the "grand" back into grand piano at her piano recital last Thursday in the performance lab (D-10) . It was not like the traditional recital (one where the musician only performs without explaining the music), it was more like a musical learning experience; educational as well entertaining. Byron Harlan and cameraman Pat McCluskey, both from Channel 10 News, videotaped pOrtions of the event for a feature story to be included in the "Success" series (a Channel 10 News segment that airs every Thursday night). They chose to feature Grossman because of her late reentry into her career. "I just want to send a message to older folks that it really is never too late to follow your dreams", said the sixty-three year old Grossman, "I started my career when other people were just bringing in
their tents." Grossman began playing piano at a very young age but gave up a musical career later on in life to marry and raise three children. She returned to college in 1979 and graduated with a Bachelors' degree in piano performance at Metropolitan State in 1983 . She then went on to complete her masters degree at the University of Colorado graduating with honors in 1986. Grossman presently teaches as an adjunct faculty member of Palomar's performing arts. Featured at the recital were sonatas by Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin and Ravel. The works of these four composers were chosen tO illustrate the development and changes of the sonata form through the lifespan of these composers. Before the performance of each piece, Grossman gave a·brief introduction explaining the form of the sonata used and a description of the different themes and variations. She then played a short portion

one were not particularly fond of the piece i~elf. If thunderous applause is any indication, the recital was a great success.

occer settles for another t •e Rich Donovan
Sports Editor
After 13 games the Palomar men's soccer team is still having trouble scoring. Their defense is solidly consistent and their offense is doing all of the right things except putting the ball in the net. A lack of scoring plagued the Comets again on Wednesday, at home, as they tied Cuyamaca College, 0-0. Palomar had a great chance to score with five minutes lefttoplay. A Palomar player had the ball in front of the net with only the keeper to beat. He fakes out the keeper and is about to take the shot when the keeper dives at the player and takes him out before he can actually take the shot. The keeper made it look like he was going for the ball, but he actually committed a penalty, and was not called for it. "The ref blew the call," said Palomar head coach Ron Riccitelli. "It was a no.gut call by the official." Considering Cuyamaca College is in first place in the league it was a tough game to lose because they could have beaten them. "We played great ball. .. Our best team effort of the season," said Riccitelli. "We got into our stride and played as a team." The Palomar offense had two or three great scoring opportunities but could not convert. The defense was more successful at their job by not allowing any goals. Comet keeper. Charlie Daniels, had four saves and "played a great game;• said Riccitelli. Duncan Dunlop
Comet keeper, Charlie Daniels, attempts a save at a recent game at Palomar College. The goaltending and solid play of the Palomar defense is keeping the Comets alive in league play.
and Ray Ochoa also stood out playing "their best game of the season;• said Riccitelli. The Comets are 2-7-4 overall this year and 0-2-3 in league. To the dismay of Riccitelli the men are 1-6 on the road and 1-1-4 at home. "The whole season we have played at the level of our opponents;• said Riccitelli. "If we are
better than a team, we play at a lower level; if a team is better, we play at a higher level." The whole season the Comets · have been besieged with injuries and other circumstances that have prohibited them from being at their best. "We have not had our best team on the field all year," said Riccitelli. Events such as losing key player
Zoltan Gordality for the season, Ray Ochoa' s appendicitas. Joel Johnson's broken nose. Fred Cazmareck' s hairline leg fracture, and most recently Manny DeLeon's red card (If a player receives a red card in a game he must sit out for that game and the next) have really stuck a thorn in the Comets' chances for a successful season.
The Comets go away to College of the Desert on Friday. So far, C.O.D. is 0-2-2 in league. "We must play 90-minutes of mental soccer and not break down," said Riccitelli. "The whole season we have not gotten any breaks at all. We deserve to win but not much has gone our way." said Riccitelli.
Comets outdueled by Lancers, 41-7 By Sean Dean Sports Writer
Last Saturday's game for Palomar could go down as 'The Nightmare in Pasadena.' The Comets walked into a buzzsaw, as they fell 41 -7 to Pasadena City College for their worst loss of the·season. The Lancers of Pasadena dominated the game on both sides of the ball. The Comets, now 1-4 overall, . could not get anything to go their way after their first drive of the night. Quarterback Brett Salisbury. ranked first in state in passing, statistically. had another good game. He completed 27 of 51 passes for 340 yards. Salisbury. though,could not be happy about throwing 3 interceptions. The turnovers became critical in the early going and put a tremendous shadow over his big numbers.

night by Comet receivers killed Palomar's chances of getting back into the game. "The nine drops really hurt us," Head Coach Tom Craft said. "That kept us from sustaining anything." Back-up quarterback and wide receiver, Charles "Choo Choo" Walker, had his biggest game of the season with eight receptions for 100-yards. In the second half, when the game was out of reach, he also saw action as quarterback. Defensively. the Comets have had better nights. A lack of consistency and discipline, something Coach Craft as been emphasizing all season~ has been the downfall of this unit. The defense was unable to stop the run and the deep pass play of the Lancers... the two very same things that have haunted the Comets the last few weeks and have broken games open for their opponents. Defensive lineman and Colorado transfer, Tamasi Amituanai and former San Dieguito High School star, linebacker Kelly
Hockey, highlighted the evening with big hits all over the field. Special teams got a big break this week with the return of kick returner and wide receiver, Jose Castro of Poway. Coming back from a shoulder injury, Castro was explosive on his returns and was not afraid to sacrifice his body for that extra yard. This Saturday, the Comets will host Mission Conference opponent, Golden West College.

As an N.B.A. referee do you throw Michael Jordan out of a decisive playoff game because he disagrees with your call? He does not really argue the call, but he just lets you know that you made a bad call. No way, of course not. He is too important to the team. You give him a warning and if he mouths off again, then you give him the heave ho. Well, a similar event happened on Wednesday during the fourth game of the American League Championship Series, with Boston Red Sox ace pitcher Roger Clemens. The situation: The Boston Red
Sox, who have not won a World Series since 1918, are down 3-0 in a best of seven series with the defending World Series Champion Oakland A's.

shoots down the Sox in order. Then, the A's get up and Clemens gets the first two batters out. The third batter, Terry Steinbach, gets a hit, the frrst one of the game. The next batter, Willie Randolph, draws a walk from Clemens on two questionable ball, strike calls. Clemens, not pleased with the call has a few choice words about homeplate umpire Terry Cooney's eyesight. But, Clemens does not say anything different than is usually said between a pitcher and an umpire about ball and strike calls. The next thing you know, Roger Clemens is being ejected from the most important game of the Red Sox season. The players in the Red Sox dugout start throwing Gatorade coolers and other dugout items onto the field in protest Pandamonium breaks out with about 10 Boston players arguing violently with four umpires. When the dust clears and the Gatorade is cleaned up, Clemens and Marty Barrett, also of the Red Sox, are ejected. The Red Sox then bring in reliever Tom Bolton who, on his second pitch of the game, gives up a two-run double to Mike Gallego of the A's. Final: The Red Sox lose the game 3-1 and their season ends. The A's will go on to the World Series. What an idiot. What kind of an idiot umpire would throw out a player as important as Roger Clemens for just arguing balls and strikes. Terry Cooney is that idiot Common umpire sense would say to give him a warning and leave it f.t that. If he persists, then, throw him out. C.B.S. analyst, Tim McCarver, a catcher in the major for 20 years, said, "The umpire has got to use his common sense, especially in a game like this one. He has to understand that his (Clemens) emotions are running high and he is really excited. He just walks a guy, of course he is going to say something about the call ... I was a catcher in the major leagues for 20 years and I must have argued ball and strike calls 10 times per game." Play-by-play announcer Dick Stockton said, "It is ridiculous to throw him out of this game, even if he did say the "F' word." It is understood that the Red Sox whole season did not come down to that one play, but it could have given them at least a fighting chance to continue their season for at least one more game. Thanks a lot Terry Cooney. Let's see if you work the World Series or any important game for the rest of your career. Good Luck next year Red Sox. Good Luck this year Oakland. Good Luck working in the majors again Cooney.

Addressing the need for new buildings for a projected student body of 62,000 by 2005, the Palomar College Governing Board appointed two board members Tuesday to serve on a committee with the city ofPoway to hammerout a joint-powers agreement to build a new campus there.

The frrst time ended in disappointment for Palomar officials in June when the Poway City Council voted to spend monies that would have been used to acquire a site on Pomerado Road for Palomar for a park and future city hall instead.
Ben Echeverria, board vice president, and Robert Dougherty, board secretary, were appointed to represent Palomar. Poway will

Salesman (continued from page 9) which is which. Palomar College Patrick Larmer, director of the play and theatre production Manager, said that he picked the play because "It's a great play ... the definition of a great play is that it deals with universals--those timeless things that we all deal with in our lives, and which men and women have dealt with as far back as we know. 'Death of a Salesman' uses the metaphor of a salesman and questions the context of the American Dream to present the universal, but that doesn't limit it." While he was attending college, Larmer was in a production of 'Death of a Salesman.' He said that after the show, some of the comments he got were "Willy Loman is my uncle," or "Willy Loman is my father," or even "Willy Loman is me." "You see yourself in 'Death of a Salesman,"' says Larmer. "That's what great theater does. It holds a mirror up and we see ourselves, we see our lives and it allows us to examine them and put them in perspective. That's what 'Death of a Salesman' does." TheplayopenedonBroadwayonFeb.10, 1949 and was a sellout. It won the Pulitzer Prize, the Critics' Circle Award, the Antoinette Perry Award and had the distinction of being the only play ever selected for circulation by the Book-ofthe-Month-Club. Larmer says," It's one of the best scripts you '11 ever see on stage. It's truly moving ... lofty in its scope and the ideas it presents and it appeals to . everybody."
