Residents take parking woes to city council By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer As Palomar College parking problems spill over into nearby neighborhoods, residents feel driven to regain their streets. When Mike and Lorie Corica moved into the nearby Paloma Community last year, they didn't give much thought to student's cars parked in front of their house. However, as the crowding doubled this semester they became concerned and decided to do something about it. " With enrollment expected to be 60,000 students by the year 2000, its going to be a nightmare here," said Mr. Corica. They said that a City Council Meeting had been set for Oct. 16 to address the problem, but had to be postponed to an undeclared date. Corica said that there have been several complaints flied by their neighbors against the college and the city. "The city is going to do something," he said, "we dont exactly know what yet." The Coricas said that they did try talking to school authorities about their plight, but nothing much happened. "We kind of got the run around," said Corica, "and we were basically transfered from one person to another." However, Associated Student Government (ASG) Senator, Tom Turk, is interested, and said that he

Senior Staf!Writer Palomar's governing board rejected in a closed session Oct. 9 a claim filed by a former employee who contends that campus officials withheld biological data that would prove that his health problems are, in part, a result of breathing contaminated air while working in the library. Since the library's opening in April 1983, some staffers there have complained about a plethora of illnesses that they contend are a result of breathing in harmful

plans on being at the city council meeting to give a voice to the students in this dilema. "The residents have to realize that we are not parking there to be hostile towards them," he said, "but because there really is no other place to park." Director of Student Activities, Jim Bowen, said that he thinks the problem will diffuse as students start making use of other Palomar campuses. Still he said "We are willing to go along with a decision made by the city council." Palomar officiales have admitted however, that there is not enough parking space in either the student or staff parking lots. Mike Ellis, Director of Buildings and Grounds has been delegated to find a solution, and is asking for input from all concerned. Eight different projects have been set forward by Ellis to make more room, including development of the hills east of the East Student Entrance. Much of the money for such a project would come from taxes collected from nearby neighbohoods. The Coricas are paying a Melo Roose Tax, which they say costs them about $1,700 a year, and other residents $3,200. This money is put into Palomar College and the community, but the couple said that they are not getting much

Call for more officers prompted by crimes By Todd Anderson Staff Writer Growing concerns for safety on campus have prompted Campus Patrol to draft a proposal to add two supervisors to Campus Patrol and to give the new employees the power to investigate crimes on campus. The proposal by Boyd Mahan, Campus Patrol supervisor, calls for the addition of two patrol su-

pervisors to oversee the training and supervision of existing patrol officers. The estimated cost per year for both supervisors is $40'000. In the month of September there were 17 incidents of car theft and/ or vandalism - a more than an 100 percent increase from September '89. The number of reckless driving citations and hit-and-run incidents have both doubled in the same period of time.

Mahan said compared to other schools, Palomar's security force is understaffed, underpaid and restricted in its powers to protect students and the campus. "We are no longer living in the country," Mahan said. "We need to realize that some day we will have real crime." The Governing Board has only authorized Campus Patrol officers

Club President, Sue Leonard, said that people tend to stereotype AGS members as being "nerds" because of the membership requirements. "Just because we get good grades people think that we are studious, nerdy and do nothing else but homework," said Leonard. AGS applicants must maintain a 3.0 grade point average, and earn at least eight service points through community work. In response to the nerd stereotype, AGS members will be decked out in their geekiest outfits at ¢eir Halloween booth at the Halloween Escape on Oct. 31 on the front lawn at Palomar.

Counseling Center offers assessment courses Nov. 6 This semester, the Counseling Center is offering a series of shortterm, open-entry and exit, one-unit classes in self-assessment. This class helps students in choosing a career goal and taking the correct motions to pursue the career. The next sequence starts Nov. 6. The class is divided into three sessions. The first session is a threehourlectureon the process of career search and includes aptitude assessment tests. The second session interprets the results of the inventories taken the previous time and relates them to career selection. The third session is also a two hour session that assists students in identifying steps of action or preparing an educational plan best suited to achieve the goal. Students are required to attend all three sessions in sequence. There is a $5 materials fee due on the first session, in addition to regular class tuition fees. Class meets in the Governing Board

seeking. Wyman, who moved from Encinitas to Lubbock, Texas, afterhisresignation, wasnotavailable for comment. The basis of the claim is that the district withheld data derived from a recent series of blood tests conducted on personnel who work in the library. The data derived from a prior series of blood tests were thrown out by campus officials because they believed the findings were inconsistent with the health problems the library workers are experiencing.

Mike Gregoryk, vice president for finance and administrative services, said that the Board rejected the claim because the school did not withhold the results and that the fault lays with the laboratory which, he says, was slow in reporting what was found. Robert Dougherty, who is a medical doctor as well as secretary on the Governing Board, said that the prior series ofblood tests found a high level of methemoglobin, a type of blood that carries no oxygen, in some of the samples. "The

If approved, the proposal would be the first step to changing the Board's aging policy of observe and report, giving Campus Patrol more authority. Mahan said currently that if an incident, such as rape, robbery or assault, occurs Campus Patrol is only allowed to notify the Sheriffs Department. Each new supervisor will be required to have a minimum of 48 hours of POST (Peace Officer Standards and Training) training , which includes basic law, evidence, crime investigation, writing reports, arrest and control. Not included in the training is firearm training. Some of the Campus Patrol officers have already attained their POST certification, and one already has 500 hours of POST training, prior to working for Campus Patrol The proposal must be submitted to the college's Staff Development Committee by Oct 22. If approved by the committee, the proposal will be forwarded through other various campus governance com-

mittees. The new supervisors would not be hired until July 1, 1991. Mahan said he feels the goal of Campus Patrol is to provide experience to the officers and to serve the students.

Student threatened in campus parking lot - page 8

Many faculty members who are experts in the field of crime prevention said they understand the liability that goes along with intervention, but still feel that Palomar needs to have a more assertive philosophy about campus safety. ''I'd like to see a more pro-active stance towards security," said Kelly Chun, director of Public Services Programs and a former San Diego County Sheriffs deputy, "but understand that more responsibility and more supervision go along with a more active security force." Mahan, who is a former Alameda County Sheriffs Deputy, said "any law enforcement agency should be pro-active versus reactive." Both former officers agreed that the best way to deal with liability, is to address the issue before it

symptoms ought to fit the poison," said Dougherty about the differences in symptoms between what the library workers are encountering and what methemoglobinemia causes. It is this conflict that triggered the second series of blood test. Conversely, however, according to Maxwell Wintrobe's book Clinical Hematology, the symptoms associated with methemoglobinemia include headaches, dizziness, mental confusion and the desire to sleep. The Telescope reported September 21 that a number of library workers have these symptoms. Phoebe Helm, interim vice president for instruction, said that the Board is concerned about employee health and welfare. With respect to the library she said the college has hired consultants and medical experts for the sevenplus years that the problem has existed. Buildings and Grounds Director, Mike Ellis, said in November 1989 that it is illegal to go outside specifications for the ratio of fresh to recycled air that circulates

becomes an issue. If Palomar doesn't take on the question of liability now, said Mahan, the school will be sued anyway, because of the reactive stance about campus safety. Palomar college is one of the most populated schools in California, with nearly 25,000 students, yet the Governing Board has not changed the structure nor function of Campus Patrol since it was created in 1976. At that time the student population was under 9,000 students. "The best thing we (Palomar) can do," said Chun, "is to step out of our circle and see how important security will be in the future." The Campus Patrol department has one supervisor that is on call24 hours a day, 10 Patrol officers that work between 7 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. and one secretary. Chun said he feels that the Governing Board's policy of observe and report is evolving, but not as fast as other schools in the area. "It is the school's responsibility," Mahan said, "to insure a safe learning environment for students."

Boom boxes thump the ear and rattle hearing for life By Ziad AI-Dabban Staff Writer THUMP! THUMP! BOOM BOOM, BOOM! The ground shakes lightly, the walls groan slightly and the windows creak. Is it a tremor? No! It's just another one of those stupid BOOM boxes on wheels. They're just good, safe fun, right? Actually, the reverse is true. The human ear can withstand only 90 decibels of noise as established by the American Medical Association. To give an idea of just how much noise that is, consider this: Near absolute silence is set at zero decibels, a two-person conversation is 60, a vacuum cleaner is 80 and noise from a subway train is 100 decibels. Above 120 decibels noise is so intense that it can be felt as a tickling perception in the ear; beyond 130 decibels the sensation changes to pain and may damage the unprotected ear.A military jet taking off produces 140 decibels. It is beyond comprehension as to why some people crank their music well beyond 120decibels! If you want that kind of noise, stand next to a machine gun while it's being fired. Dr. Samuel Rosen, ClinicalProfessorofOtology (Emeritus) at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, reports that "a noisy life might lead to injury to arteries, and to an increase in fatty materials in the bloodstream that makes arteries clog up in the heart or brain." There are other damages to one's health. Some medical practitioners claim that repeated sudden noises can create a state of nervousness which can lead to ulcers. Dr. Darrel Rose says that "biologically, unwanted noise gives the same kind of symptoms as fear. An unexpected or unwanted sound can cause the pupils of the eye to dilate, mucous membranes to cease secreting, skin to take on a pallid look, adrenals to secrete heavily and many of the internal organs to spasm." Does this sound a little to extreme? Who knows, but if any of it is true, why put yourself in risk just so you can be cool? There is a time and place for everything. Even if you are going to protect your ears while blasting this music, it is still going to annoy those around you. It distracts other drivers and it disturbs the peace. Section 27007 of Article 1 of Chapter 5 of the California Vehicle Code states: "No driver of a vehicle shall operate, or permit the operation of any sound amplification system which can be heard outside the vehicle from 50 or more feet when the vehicle is being operated on a highway ... " In addition to the state law, there are city codes that differ from city to city. If one is stopped form usic blaring out his car windows, he may be cited for violation of state law as well as city codes. Unfortunately, police departments cannot afford to give each of their officers noise meters to carry around. Officers have to rely on their ears and sense of direction. The law provides no incentive for people to tum their boom boxes down. It has to come from within them-from their sense oflogic and self-preservation. But these people obviously have no logic. If they did, they would not go around upgrading their stereos to downgrade their ears. And they certainly lack decorum, otherwise they wouldn't blast their music above acceptable levels to disturb others.

What major ¡issue(s) will you use to decide who to vote for governor? (Photos by Peter Herzog)

Prop. 140 renews citizens' influence Frustration has an interesting way of emerging in today' s society. We the people seem to consistantly elect the same politicians and then gripe about their collective performance upon reaching the capitol building. Now our gripes are coupled with action andProp.140 has arisen to do what we should have done a long time ago - get the incumbents out of office. Prop. 140 is designed to limit the terms on all elected state government offices, including limiting state senators to eight years in office, and state assembly members to six. This means that, according to the Los Angeles Times, 83 percent of the assemblymen and senators elected this year will be history by 1996, while we would see entire new faces within both branches by 1998. Furthermore, Prop. 140 plans to cut the legislature's budget, according to some estimates, up to 50 percent. Considering that, according to the LA Times, only five incumbents were defeated for the California legislature from 1984 to 1988, it seems questionable at best to assume that our system of democracy is working. So with Prop. 140 California receives a fresh new start, less corruption with a cut in the legislature's budget thrown in; it sounds like we've stumbled on a good idea. While many other states are attempting similar legislation, California normally leads the way for state laws becoming national. If Prop. 140 or 131, a similar proposal where lawmakers could only serve for 12 consecutive years, pass here, these ideas could feasibly move to a national level. And a national clean up of the legislature is desperately needed. In a recent speech, Newt Ginrich (R -GA) minority whip of the House of Representatives, pointed out that the reelection of incumbents is more assured in America than it is for legislators within the entire soviet state. It seems that in our national legislature, once politicians are in, the pubicity, perks and money they receive for being members almost assures them a long occupation with a nice retirement plan. At the national level, the seniority system of

establishing chairs on committees also guarrantees them a nice position according to the time they have been in office, not according to the quality or competence of their work. Currently, America is angry over the entire budget fiasco. When the "budget summit" turned out a document that

Stage Right Tracy Wilson taxed citizens again while lowering medicare benefits, citizens sent an angry "no" to the congress. Our voice was heard. But now, the machinery of congress is gurgling ahead with congressmen offering budget proposals that seem to either mimick or parallel the one that the citizens have already rejected. Are these congressmen that out of touch with America? Ginrich pointed out that for the past six terms, except for Jimmy Carter, America has made a choice with our presidents which have echoed values of less taxation while cutting spending, but the democrats who hold the seats with incumbency super glue seem to ignore the wave of the country. Reshuffling the deck and starting again would be a great solution to the fading influence of the citizen. Prop. 140 is not only a good idea, it is a necessary one. On the state level, it will rid us of career politicians and their briefcases full of special interest groups; if spread to the national level, it would provide American citizens with a voice once again. Holding an elected office would be a privilege to those interested in public service, nota certainty for those in it for personal gain.

If a rider is tense, the horse will become tense, according to Morton. . She goes on to add that if the rider is relaxed, then the horse is calm and the two become one.

One man band plays computerized tunes By Ron Chatham Entertainment Writer Lawrence Hopkins and his "orchestra," dazzled, amazed and elecu:ified his audience at last Thursday's concert in the performance lab D-10. And he was able to fit an entire orchestra into as small of a space as the performance lab. He did it electronically-no, not with an "electro-magical" shrinking machine. Hopkins' entire orchestra consists of himself, two keyboards, five synthesizers an Atari computer and various other supporting electronic components. "If you're totally ignorant of how a computer controls musical instruments you're not making enough money", said Hopkins adding that a lot oftoday' s music is done by only one person on a computer. Hopkins began his musical education early in life. He started playing violin when he was 5 years old and later changed to oboe and bassoon in junior high when he found out there were no marching violins. He completed his education with a bachelor's degree in music composition at Berklee College in Boston. His first exposure to synthesizers , in 1977, was at a time when they wt:re first being developed. These

early synthesizers were very large and used input lines similar to those used on old telephone operator switchboards. They were only capable of playing one note and one voice (instrument) at a time. His current equipment is polyphonic, which means it can play more than one note at a time and can support up to 245 voices. The entire performance was programmed into the computer's memory beforehand and the computer played it back for the concert. Of course, Hopkins does not just stand there while the computer performs the music, he intentionally leaves certain instruments out of each piece and performs them live in conjunction with the computer. During the performance Hopkins briefly described the process of creating computerized music. First, the initial segment is played into the computers memory. As the computer plays this first part back, the musician plays in the second part, third and so on until the piece is completed. This "layering" of sound is accomplished through "sequencing" which is similar to punching holes in a piano roll. If a mistake is made it can be found later through the computer and replaced with a correction. Though it sounds simple this

The last piece performed at the concert, "Abstraction in the Harmony Courtyard," is one of Hopkins' own compositions and took four months to complete. To further illustrate the procedure, Hopkins asked for a volunteer during the performance. David Chase, professor of music at Palomar, accepted-actually Hopkins volunteered Chase, and the audience accepted. Together

they composed a small jazz piece adding in each instrument separately until they had what sounded like a small jazz band. At the close of the concert Hopkins invited questions from the audience. Most of the questions were about the equipment, especially the cost. Hopkins answered, "Equipment can cost anywhere from several hundred dollars to as much as $100,000." He then added laugh-

ingly, "you either buy a house or this stuff."

Comets lasso Rustlers, 14-7 By Sean Dean Sports Writer

Last Saturday the Comets football team had a victory round up at their home field at San Marcos High School versus Golden West College. Palomar, now 2-4 overall, ended a three game losing streak by handing the Rustlers their first loss of the season, 14-7. The Comets rose to the occasion against Golden West, as they performed superbly on offense and defense as well as on special teams. The highlight of the game came in the third quarter, as both teams were tied 7-7. The Palomar defense, led by defensive lineman Paul Goldberg, and Peau Atoe, former ALL- CIF star from El Camino, stood their ground and forced the Rustlers to punt. On the following play, Mt. Carmel alumnus, Sal Gelormini blocked the punt and returned it 11 yards for what would be the winning touchdown for the Comets. "Our special teams came on," said Head Coach Tom Craft. Palomar's offense, led by quarterback Brett Salisbury, "came on" as well. Going up against the Mission Conference's top defense, Salisbury went 19 of24 for 169 yards in the first half. He finished the day completing 24 of 34 passes for 223 yards. In the second quarter Salisbury hitwidereceiverMyron Wise with a 27 -yard bullet for Palomar's first

score. "Our offense is a lot like the offense where I came from at BYU," Salisbury said after the game. "Throwing the ball40 to 50 times a game .. .it's ideal for the quarterback, it really highlights and showcases him (the quarterback)." Salisbury, at times, resembled the likes of other big play quarterbacks from BYU, such as Jim McMahon and Ty Detmer. In the second half he kept the Comets offense on the field and used the clock effectively. Salisbury used the run, carrying the ball himself most of the time, and hitting short dump-off passes to his wide outs to keep the Rustlers from getting the chance of making the big play to overcome Palomar. "He's got the ability to run and it is something we have not done," said Coach Craft. In the closing minutes Golden West did get one last chance to catch the Comets. Their drive ended though with an interception by defensive back Marcus Rankin, snuffing out any Rustler hopes. "We take a real positive attitude into each game each week . .. We say, let's go out and get them ," commented Salisbury after the victory. The Palomar football team has to feel real positive about their performance against Golden West and it is just in time. The Comets will take that momentum on the road this Saturday against divisional opponent Southwestern College.

Palomar quarterback Brett Salisbury lunges for the first down during the Comets' 14-7 victory over Golden West College. Salisbury had a very successful day in the air as well as on the ground versus the Rustlers.

Wrestlers grapple for third place at Cuesta Tourney By Salvador Marquez Sports Writer

The Moorpark College Raiders wrestling team avenged a 26-16 loss on Oct. 9 to the Palomar wrestling Comets in the Cerritos Invitational Tournament at Cerritos College on Oct 13. Palomar fmished third out of eight teams in the tournament with 65 points, but were frustrated by Moorpark and by the Cerritos Falcons wrestling team, who bested the Comets by only a quarter of a point. According to head coach Roy Oliver, the team was not at peak level when it entered the tournament, despite a 2-0 record and a fourth place fmish out of the 24 teams in the Cuesta Tournament The Comets only had eight wrestlers, compared with the 16 that the other schools had, Oliver said. Because of this, the Comets were not able to enter in two

weight classes. In addition, sophomore Javier Gonzales, who finished second in Cuesta, could not wrestle because of injuries. The Moorpark victory may have also been deceptive, says assistant coach Joe Ismay. Of the 10 matches that took place, Palomar won only five; four of these were by pin, which are six points each. Coach Oliver had a guarded optimism before the tournament began. "Being a Palomar team , with the dominance we've had the past 15 years, everyone wants to beat someone from Palomar," Oliver said. The lack of wrestlers and several byes hurt the Comets. Under the complex tournament scoring system, points are not awarded for byes. The tournament seedings may have hurt the Comets early, but overall, it shouldn't have effected the play, according to 01iver. "The seedings don't mean anything," Oliver said during a pre-

tourney talk with his team. "You've just got to go out there and wrestle your match." Palomar's third place finish could be credited to high finishes by its wrestlers. Two wrestlers went on to finish first in their weight classes, freshmen Dusty Harliss, in the 150-pound class, and Eddie Luna, in the 167- pound class. The Comets also suffered from several near misses. Sophomore Craig Francis, in the 142-class, wentto the finals only to lose 11-3. Sophomore Erik Johnson, of the 190-pound class, dominated his opposition not allowing a point until he lost to Moorpark wrestler Tony Flores in the finals. In a controversial decision by the referee, Johnson was penalized the point that cost him the match in overtime, prompting the coaches and the team to protest. Other strong performances inelude sophomore Michael Pernell placing third in the 177-pound

class, freshman Richard Freeman placing fourth in the 167-pound class and sophomore Daryl Brenner placing fourth in the 158pound class. Sophomore Ken Carlile' s ejection over a head slapping incident cost the team all the points he had earned, however. Harliss had problems with illegal actions himself; San Bernardina Valley College wrestler Charlie Luska illegally slammed Harliss, that aggravated an earlier neck injury, which slowed him down in Cuesta, Harliss said. "When I was slammed, I was out cold," said Harliss. "I could have taken the disqualification, but I wanted to win outright." Harliss went on to pin finalist Lemands Wells from Cerrtitos in an impressive 43 seconds. According to Harliss, a three-time Greco-Roman National winner, his experience was the key in defeating Wells. "I had a premonition I could take him, because of the way he lifted

his head against Dante Terramani (of East Los Angeles College, in the semi-finals). He lifted his head and I took him," Harliss said. Palomar will face San Diego City College, here, on Oct. 24, at 7:30 p.m. Palomar will then participate in the California Invitationa! State Duals, hereon Oct. 27.

Vice president resigns By Laura Woolfrey Campus Beat Editor Associated Student Government Vice President Jason Van Foeken resigned Oct. 10 citing his lack of time to devote to his office. "I had too many things going at the same time," said Foeken. Foeken also said that another factor which contributed to his withdraw! was the lack of student enthusiasm at Palomar. "A lot of people really don't give a crap about the student government. The student body just goes to school and doesn't care about anything else," said Van Foeken. "If more people would have expressed more desire to get involved in the studentbody,thenimightnothave quit." Senators Angela Snedeker and Rob Aikens were nominated for

Student threatened over space By Todd Anderson Staff Writer What would you do for a parking spot in parking Lot 12, 5 minutes before your 10 a.m. class? According to Campus Patrol officials, at least one student has resorted to threatening his way into a spot. On Monday Oct. 15, Constance Rams was trolling Lot 12 at 9:55 a.m. looking for a space.

As the car in the space began to move out of the space, the driver of the truck left his vehicle and approached Rams' car. She described the driver as a white male, 5 foot 11 inches tall with dark hair. When the driver arrived at Rams' door he said to her "I've been waiting- minutes for a space. If you take this space I' 11 key your car and you won't like the rest either." The driver returned to his truck and took out what Rams perceived to be a weapon by the threatening manner he held and displayed it.
