Aikins wins ASG vice presidency seat By Laura Woolfrey Campus Beat Editor . Senator Rob Aikins of the Associated Student Government was elected ASG vice president during Wednesday's ASG meeting. "I feel good,'' said Aikins. "I'm glad that we finally gotitoverwith so we can carry on with business." The position of vice president was vacant after vice president Jason Van Foeken resigned on Oct. 10 due to conflict of his studies and his ASG duties. Presently there i~ one senatorial position open as a result of Aikins' appointment. Massimo Bordi and Garrett Whitehead were nominated during Wednesday's ASG meeting. ASG officers will elect one of these students to fill the position. Aikins and his opponent, Senator Timothy Platt, tied for the position three times last week and again Wednesday because of a bylaw in the ASG constitution which states that a vice president must be elected by a two-thirds vote. Because of the four consecutive ties Michael Bagstad/Staff PlwU>graphLr for the position, this by-law was Associated.Student Government Senator Rob Aikins was elected vice president on Wednesday.

Student government makes 'mistake' in closed session By Fred Tracey News Editor "We did make a mistake," newly appointed Associated Student Government Vice President Rob Aikills said about how the ASG handled a closed session of the student senate Oct. 31. During the ASG's meeting Wednesday, the ASG went in to closed session to discuss personnel matters, according to the student government's agenda. The room was cleared of visitors and the door to the room closed. The officers discussed the salary and the working hours of Dawn Lyles, the ASG's secretary. At the conclusion of the closed session, the ASG failed to re-convene the meeting and the door to the room remained closed. As required by state law, governmental agencies are required to reconvene their meetings following closed sessions and to report of any action taken during the closed meeting. "When we went out of closed

session we failed to tell anyone,'' Aikins said. "We didn't open the door, and therein would be the fineline where we made the mistake,'' Aikens said. The closed session was adjourned with a motion from Senator Angela Snedeker and seconded by Senator Timothy Platt. "We messed up in not opening the door after the closed session. According to the Brown Act (the State's Open Meeting Law), we · should have. I'm not so familiar as to know all the little bits about it." According to Aikens, the ASG went on to discuss internal communication problems. "He (ASG President Sean Nix) basically gave a pep talk concerning communication and achieving our vision and achieving our goals. We talked about that for about five minutes,'' Aikens said. Jim Bowen, student activities director and the ASG's adviser, agreed that the student government failed to meet the state's law

temporarily changed to majority vote. Senator Angela Snedeker, who was also eyeing the position, was voted out of the race in a preliminary vote last week. Both candidates were allowed five minutes to give a speech and were asked three questions. In Aikins' speech he rebutted Snedeker's accusations that he lacked maturity. "If anyone here can define maturity clearly then I will vote for you,'' said Aikins. "But if maturity is losing your sense of fun and your sense of humor, then I don't want to be mature." Aikins also responded to Platt's claim of better leadership qualities. "Leadership ability is inherent but leadership skills and traits are not, they must be learned and developed,'' said Aikins. "No one can just be born and say 'I am the leader.' " Aikins said that he was disappointed that personal feelings were brought into a professional situation. "I was shocked that two fellow senators would make comments

about me since I don't really know anyone (senators) very well,'' said Aikins, "and certainly not well enough to make subjective value judgements." Despite the negativity expressed by Snedeker and Platt concerning Aikins' ability to fill the position of vice president, other ASG officers say that they are confident that Aikins will do a good job. "Because of Rob's excellent speech I feel very positive towards his leadership abilities,'' said Senator Christopher Tritchka. ASG President Sean Nix said that he also feels very confident that Aikins will do a good job. "He's confirmed in my mind that he can do the job and that I can rely on him,'' said Nix. "My aspirations are to free Sean (Nix) up so he can do more of the administration process and I can do the personnel,'' said Aikins. "That way we can achieve a group unity for the students."

Christian students pray for rock concert By Stacy Alessio Staff Writer . A Christian band will soon be rocking Palomar's students, at least that is what Salvador Marquez, president of the Christian Students Fellowship (CSF) said he hopes. During last Thursday's CSF meeting, members discussed possible projects to publicize the club. "Frankly, I think everybody has had it with bake sales," said Marquez. "I think that we should do something that reflects our club. Besides, none of us can cook well." According to Marquez, Palomar has not had a Rock concert in nine years, and he said that it is about time that it did. Marquez said that he has been asking and listening to what types of music students prefer, and has narrowed it down torapandaltemativestyle music. CSF members said that they have not yet determined which band they will hire for the concert, but Marquez said he is considering such bands as Mad at the World, The Choir and S.F.C. (Soldie~s for Christ). Marquez said that the biggest problem with the proposed concert is where to have it "Because it will be a Christian concert, the school's policy states that it must be held indoors, where only those who choose to hear it ( the concert) can," said Marquez.

Dougherty seeks third term on board By Hank Tritchka StaffWriter

Robert Dougherty, Jr. has served on the Governing Board for seven years. He was a part-time Palomar instructor teaching a paramedic course when he was Âˇfirst appointed to a vacant seat on the board in 1983, and was then elected to another four-year term in 1987. "A good board member is like a catalyst," said Dougherty in a recent interview, "who takes ideas and researches them, adds to them and speeds up action." Dougherty thinks that a comprehensive

study of how Palomar students perform in the workplace after training, should be done by teachers and college cfficials to fmd out how efficient the college's courses are. "I know that we have particular programs that are way above average,' he said, "like our nursing program. We art above 95 percent of other college courses in this field." "However, all we can get from state statistics about Palomar College in general is that we are slightly above average," said Dougherty. He said that the college needs to talk to employers of former Palomar students to find out how they perform in comparison with students from other colleges so

as to get "genuine evidence of quality education." With the expected enrollment boom, Dougherty said that it is important to maintain the "friendly" atmosphere that is usually associated with Palomar. "With the growing number of students, our faculty will soon be over 1,000," he said. Dougherty said that it is important to keep the teachers aware of each other with social programs so that they can interact in a way that improves their moral and teaching ability. "If you don't have social structure

Gentry sees city ties as an advantage By Fred Tracey News Editor

Darryl W. Gentry

A former planning director of the City of San Marcos, Darrell Gentry, 47, says his ties with city government will benefit the college when it comes to dealing with red tape. His immediate priority if elected is to get a second campus built either in the Fallbrook area, or in Poway. "I would like to help the college achieve its priorities for the next four to five years," Gentry said. He would like to see Palomar own its educational centers away from the main

campus, instead of Palomar's decision to lease existing buildings. Gentry is a land use consultant by occupation and is a vice president of the Lightfoot Planning Group in Oceanside, representing developers. He is single with three grown children and lives in Rancho Penasquitos. He was president of the San Marcos Kiwanis Club, a member of the San Marcos Boys and Girls Club and has been active with the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce. Gentry attended Mt. San Antonio College and Cal State Pomona (graduating with a B.S. in urban planning). He has also worked for the City of Whit-

tier and for the Los Angeles County school system. Gentry would like to establish dialogue with state legislators to secure state funding for existing and future programs. He has also stated his desire to see classes meet the changing needs of society, calling for more health and computer-related classes. He advocates vocational training and career development programs. At a recent candidates forum sponsored by college organizations, all of the candidates called for better and additional com-

Hellestad wants increased monies here By Hank Tritcbka News Editor

Ron Hellestad, with a background in business, is largely concerned with getting Palomar its fair share of funds, and seeing that these funds are spent in a way thatreall y helps the students. "If given the opportunity, I think that businesses would pay to make students more efficient workers," he said. "Both the community and the students profit from this sort of arrangement." He said that when students get into the market place after college, they will need to know how to work on the latest equipment

in their field. He believes that a more conscious effort should be made to provide such training for students. A whole wealth of money can also be obtained from the state he said, but that it needs to be lobbied for. "Other colleges have paid lobbyists, and we need the same," he said. "Money really does control the way things run." He believes that by redirecting money from unneeded and outdated classes, to courses that are important and on the cutting edge, Palomar would not only improve learning situations, but also trim costs. "The biggest financial problem right now

is that state money is mandated for programs Palomar has no choice on," said Hellestad. He said that almost 90 percent of the school's money is regulated to spend on programs that may no longer be needed, or that have proved un-beneficiary to the students. Hellestad, who runs a computer software publishing company, said that he has guided small companies in effective ways to trim costs and improve efficiency. He would like to use these same skills in improving Palomar's facilities and educational funding. Hellestad, 40, lives in Escondido with his wife and daughter.

Polish pianist comes to play exclusively for Palomar College By Ron Chatham Entertainment Writer Bronislaw a Kawalla, a renowned Polish pianist, gave her one and only piano concert in California at Palomar last Thursday. The performance was held in the performance lab, D-10, and featured works of the Polish composer Chopin. Palomar was fortunate indeed to have a performance by Kawalla whom had just completed a concert tour with performances in Washinton, D.C. and the United Nations in New York. She has also given Master Classes on the performance of Chopin at the Catholic University in Washington, D.C. and Pepperdine University in California. She was invited to Palomar by her friend and fellow pianist Peter Gach. Gach, a music instructor at Palomar, met Kawalla when they were both students at The Warsaw Academy in Poland. She was an assistant professor at the time but has since ·become a full professor. This is not the first time that Kawalla has toured the United States. In 1975 she visited Washington, D.C. tocompetein the International Bach competition where she took first prize. Kawalla comes from a family of famous Polish musicians. Her father plays violin and her mother is a pianist. Both of her brothers are musicians as well; one a conductor in Poland and the other is a violinist in Mexico. She stated through her daughter, Anna

Peler Herzog/ Staff PilotograpMr

Premier Polish pianist, Bronislowa Kawalla, performed her only concert in California, at Palomar College last Thursday. Ryszka, that she is very happy to have this possibility to make contact with students and professors at Palomar and colleges around the United States. She wants to learn the American way of teaching music which is much different than in Poland. Since Chopin is very important to Kawalla and to the people of Poland, she is also glad to have the opportunity to teach to American students the techniques and style of playing Chopin as wall as other European music. On Friday she gave a Master Class in the performance of Chopin to students here on campus.

"l~ ~ ytte;..-

Kawalla was impressed with the broad range of subjects at Palomar and with the high quality of the College. She was invited to Palomar to perform for the Falcone piano series, a series of piano concerts to raise money for the Falcone piano purchased by the Performing Arts · Department. WhatisaFalconeand why is everyone so excited? The Falcone was designed by Santi Falcone and is rated as one of the world's greatest pianos. Palomar purchased the piano three years ago. Since the purchase of this piano the

Falcone company has changed hands and Palomar's piano is one of only 200 of its kind. The Falcone company still produces pianos but none so fine as the original Palcones. The piano has hosted many a well known pianist at fund raising concerts given by the Performing Arts Department. These concerts, like the one last Thursday, are given to raise money to cover the cost of the piano. The money is raised both by the concert itself and by selling "key shares"-a total of 88 keys at $96.59 per key.

Imagine a place where people have been promised everything, but given nothing. A place called Russia. Underthe leadership of Western Civilization history teacher Yvonne Anderson, I experienced this place. My fellow travelers included Yvonne's sister Judy Morgan. Palomar College students, and people affiliated with Pensacola Community College which is located in Florida Lenin promised the people bread, peace, land. and freedom, but the people received none of these things. Instead, they experienced horror as "enemies of the people"and were slaughtered in Stalin's purges. In Russia, we saw the enormous lines, many historical places, and learned about the way that people are conditioned to live and think. For centuries, the people have accepted everything that they have been taught. They have been virtually isolated from

therestofthe world. But now, the Russians are becoming less isolated because of perestroika and glasnost. They are learning to think for themselves, to judge what they see around them. We have no patience compared to the Russians. If we wait nore than five minutes in line, we are either moved into another line, or we grow Impatient. But the Russians must wait in line for everything that they need. An example of this IS McDonalds in Moscow. The fust time that we went there, we would have waited about an hour and a half to get what we wanted, so we decided to go back early the next day. Then we only had a twenty minute wait. I ordered a strawberry milk shake and fries, then I put my milk shake down on a small counter while I turned to talk to a friend. When I reached back for my shake, it was gone. I then realized what had happened. A person who worked there must have thought that I had fmished it, and threw it in the trash. If you go to McDonalds in Moscow, watch out for your food! There are places that Russians

cannot enter, but tourists can. One of these is a berioska shop in which tourists can pay only with foreign currency. Colorful balalaikas [astringed instrument with a triangular base],jewelry, electronics, snack items, and souvenirs line the shelves in these shops. Sometimes tourists are gtven first crack at things. We saw the Armory in Moscow, a museum that contains armor, carriages, and other treasures that the czars owned. This museum let tounsts go in fust, then Russians. Everr though this is the1r country, Russians must go m second. Even tickets are sold to tourists first, then Russians. Russians love cultural events such as ballet, classical music, dancing, and circuses. We went to the Tchaikovsky finals in Leningrad, were we watched the finalists perform piano, violin, and one singing piece from Tchaikovsky' s compositions. Coming out of the theater gave me a feeling of claustrophobia, as huge crowds pressed in from every side. There was only one

set of double doors open, all the rest were locked. However, the Russians thought nothmg of this discomfort as they satin the warm theater without air conditioning and then exited the theater. The palaces in Leningrad and Moscow showed an enormous contrast between what the czars had and what the people didn't have. Gold decorated the tall white doors, and many of the rooms were beautifully furnished. Paintings of royal life adorned the walls. What amazed me was the fact that the palaces in Leningrad had been destroyed during World War II, but they had been completely rebuilt to restore the rich cultural and historical Russian heritage. Our tour guides said that the palaces were their palaces, when the people in earlier history were lucky to own anything. The White Nights were spectacular. They are a period when the sun has reached its northernmost latitude. The silvery sky at night was mirrored on the rivers, and from our hotels in Leningrad and Moscow, I could see people milling around like ants. The transportation is incredible. Trolleys, cars, and buses roam the streets. An escalator would whiz down to the underground subways, which were five kopecks for each person. A kopeck is a fraction of a cent, so in American money, they were relatively inexpensive. One time I thought that I had paid the five kopecks, only to find out that I had paid with Finnish money. Realizing what had happened, the kind lady that worked there let me through. I remember seeing many monuments in Leningrad. One will stay with me forever. When I went there, I could see the 900 candles high up on the walls, one for every day of the 900-day siege in Leningrad during World War II. I saw a movie that showed was like during that siege, and memorabilia. There were weapons, ribbons, a diary, and even a helmet

that showed two bullet holes on either s1de. There was a statue outside that showed more of the horror during that time. Moscow was also incredible. Stalin loved Moscow, but hated Leningrad. Leningrad was a symbol of westernization, of new ideas and new creations. Moscow was the safe, secure, unchangmg place that the people trusted. Red Square in Moscow Âˇs enormous. In Russian, red means beautiful. So literally translated, its name means beautiful square. There. the spires of St. Basil's Cathedral reach for the sky. At night the red star-shaped lights on the walls are turned on so that they glow. Near our hotel in Moscow stood a family of gypsies. I remember the little children begging, the mother with a limp baby on her back. I worried that the baby might die from dehydration since there are no public water fountains in Russia. One must pay to get a drink of anything including water. Private markets sold fresh fruits and vegetables for expensive prices. As a student in the group, I would long for these things. On the flight from New York to San Diego, I achieved my dream of a small fruit salad and two chocolate frozen yogurts. Never had anything tasted so good! As I look back now, I can smile and laugh at the many experiences that we shared. We had played poker for M&M's, we had helped each other out, and we had grown together in our understanding of the way that other cultures live. We had all been changed by the trip. Russia had taught us many lessons that I will never forget. "You just have to see it to believe it," said Anderson.

YET AG-Al N

Political twins seek vote in state•s governor race Just as a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose, two candidates who champion the same issue might as well not be two candidates at all. This Tuesday, we have the opportunity to walk up to the voting booths with our little punch-it pens and make our decision for the next governor of California. Our choice, however, is limited since the two candidates that we must choose between, Republican Pete Wilson and Democrat Dianne Feinstein, have almost strained to become identical ' mimicking the policies of the each other. Gazing over the issues that voters look to in deciding on a candidate, it's hard to find a difference between the two. Both Wilson and Feinstein agree with legalized abortion, they support the death penalty, oppose against offshore oil drilling and try to be environmental advocates. Feinstein champions the environmental cause through her support of Proposition 128, the "Big Green" initiative; Wilson doesn't support the same proposition but instead calls for California to develop the state's own version of the Environmental Protection Agency. A slight difference like this doesn't count for much of a difference at all. It seems amusing to watch the campaign advertisements where the candidates try to pick at issues in order to differentiate themselves from each other. The have both attempted the pin-the-Savings and Loan-mess on the donkey; or elephant as it might be, strategy. Wilson tells sketchy tales of Feinstein's husband supposed involvement in the mess, which, if true, would reflect more on her husband than Feinstein herself. Meanwhile, Feinstein points to Wilson campaign dollars raised partially by S & L contributors, a common and legal occurance in the political world. Perhaps Wilson and Feinstein only differ with Wilson's promises of more "law and order" and a more conservative fiscal policy. However, these are of course promises, not · guarrantees. But even if this race is full of blotches, it still retains some of its importance. For the Republicans, the party desperate! y needs Wilson in the governor's chair to insure that Democrats do not draw the new district lines too unfairly, gerrymandering their way again to future re-election without true Republican competition. On the Democratic side, the party hopes to fill the governor's seat with a friendly face who will help champion a tighter control of growth on the state level. Furthermore, since the position of Californian governor is often seen as a step towards the presidency, choices must be made carefully if individuals wish to see Feinstein running in '92 or Wilson competing for the post sometime in the future. The candidates are ready and the choice must be made. Regardless of who Californians stamp onto their ballots, they will receive some of the ideologies and policies that the other candidate holds. Maybe this is just another blatant commentary on our political process as a whole. Moderate politics have provided us with two blank characters who look in the mirror and are frightened when they see each other. But one last difference really deserves mentioning: Pete is a male, and Dianne is a female. Possibly their biggest differentiating point is the one nature provided for them. II

Will Big Green save trees or rob pocketbooks? Health of Californians overrides money in Big Green decision By Roman S. Koenig Editor-in-Chief For years now conservative politicians and big business have told the public that cleaning up the environment required steps taken in "moderation." This moderation has left California as a literal gas chamber. Proposition 128, the "Big Green Initiative," must be passed now to ensure a clean and healthy environment for the future. Big Green is a far-reaching proposition, and rightfully so. By just looking at a few of its proposals, one can see the many benefits this proposition will bring to us. Proposition 128wouldhelpreducepotentially cancer-causing pesticides used on the foods we eat. Nineteen chemicals currently in use would be banned. Farmers are concerned with how this would effect production and food prices, however, if hardship did face our economy, the use of these pesticides could be extended for as many as three years according to the proposition. The development of off-shore oil and gas projects would be banned off the California coast, except in the event of an energy emergency. It would also require coastal communities and oil companies to work

togethl':r to develop oil spill prevention and cleanup plans . . Oil companies would be charged 25 cents a barrel delivered by either pipeline or tanker through the state, the profits to be used to clean up oil spills. No wonder oil companies are against Big Green, since they would be required to help pick up the tab for spills such as the one in Alaska which practically destroyed Prince William Sound. And while saving our oceans, Prop. 128 will preserve our forests. Bonds would be established for the purchase of old-growth redwood trees andalso to support reforestation programs. With the continuing loss of tropical rainforests, we must do our part in saving forests which take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, thereby cleaning the air of pollutants and harmful gasses. One of the most important provisions of Proposition 128 is the reduction of those pollutants which contribute to global warming, pollution and the deadly orone hole. According to a Times Advocate analysis, Big Green woQld "require the state to adopt a plan by 1993 that would reduce the emissions of 'greenhouse gasses' ... while providing for reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent by the year 2000 and 40

Nostalgia quality in 'Avalon' immigrates to film screen By Tony Cavallo Entertainment Writer Sam Krichinsky came to Baltimore on the 4th of July in 1914. He walked through the town among the evening celebration of exploding fireworks and children running with sparklers in amazed wonder. He was looking for his brothers, who had all come to America a few years earlier. Finally he found someone who knew where his brothers lived, a small man with big shoes stuffed with newspapers. The man was walking the streets breaking the pair of shoes in for a customer. All Sam could say was, "This is truly a great country when the rich don't have to break in their own shoes." Thus the opening scene of Barry Levinson's "Aval on" a somewhat autobiographical account of three generations of a Baltimore family. Written, directed, and produced by Levinson, it maintains the same quality we've come to expect from the director of such pictures as "Rain Man," "Good Morning Vietnam" and "Tin Men." Âˇ "Avalon" is a nostalgic-type ftlm about the bonds of an im migrant family. It is funny at times, cute (in an adult way) at times, and often just a nice

movie. At the risk of disappointing a percentage of the movie-going public, there is no sex, no violence, and no major stars. If you must have that, go see"Matked For Death." "Avalon" is a beautiful movie with scene quality found only rarely in recent movies. Many ftlms attempt this level, but seem set-up and overacted. Everything in "Avalon'' feels natural and realistic. I found it hard to believe at times that these people were actors and not really the characters that they were portraying because ot this realism. The acting was good overall, but Armin Mueller-Stahl, who played Sam, and Elijah Wood, the boy who played his grandson, were excellent. MuellerStahl, last seen in 'Music Box,' is an actor who I think we may be seeing more of in the future, while young Wood simply looked and acted more like a kid growing up in the forties, when most of the ftlm takes place, than a kid of the eighties. The movie was a little long, but not too long as to detract from the overall enjoyablity. It is rated PG and can definitely be called a family movie. It has something for every age and is

Polish pianist comes to play exclusively for Palomar College By Ron Chatham Entertainment Writer Bronislawa Kawalla, a renowned Polish pianist, gave her one and only piano concert in California at Palomar last Thursday. The performance was held in the performance lab, D-10, and featured works of the Polish composer Chopin. Palomar was fortunate indeed to have a performance by Kawalla whom had just completed a concert tour with performances in Washinton, D.C. and the United Nations in New York. She has also given Master Classes on the performance of Chopin at the Catholic University in Washington, D.C. and Pepperdine University in California. She was invited to Palomar by her friend and fellow pianist Peter Gach. Gach, a music instructor at Palomar, met Kawalla when they were both students at The Warsaw Academy in Poland. She was an assistant professor at the time but has since ·become a full professor. This is not the first time that Kawalla has toured the United States. In 1975 she visited Washington,D.C.tocompeteinthelnternational Bach competition where she took first prize. Kawalla comes from a family of famous Polish musicians. Her father plays violin and her mother is a pianist. Both of her brothers are musicians as well; one a conductor in Poland and the other is a violinist in Mexico.

Comets destroy Knights, 62·0 By Sean Dean Sports Writer

Last Saturday the San Diego City College Knights' armorcould not protect them from the fierce Comets that tore them apart 62-0. Palomar (now 4-4, 2-0 in divisional play) completely dominated the contest. It looked like the San Francisco49er's versus a Pop Warner pee-wee team. After tough three game losmg streak early in the season the Comets have rose to the occasion, winning three stJ:aightand keeping their hopes of a bowl game alive. Defensive lineman Tamasi Amituanai had this to say after the Comets demolition of the Knights. "We worked hard all weekend and it paid off. I think we deserved this shutout. We held Golden West to 7 points and last weekend we held Southwestern to 3 with the first team in.We were gearing up for a big shutout and that's what happened, we just owe that to the coaches." Everything on Saturday paid off for Palomar as they scored touchdowns on five out their fust six possessions. They did not attempt a running play until the second quarter, when they led 35-0. And they only tried one other rushing attempt in the entire fust half. "We knew before the game that we were going to throw on every down in the first half," said Palomar quarterback Brett Salisbury, we wanted to put points on the board and we did." The main reason why the Comets relied on the pass was that Odeious Pines, Palomar's key runner, was out with an injury. Quarterback Brett Salisbury had plenty of weapons to go to on the field as his statistics will tell you. Despite sitting out the fourth quar-

Comet runningback OJ. Hall, no.3, races for an apparent touchdown in last Saturday's blowout victory versus San Diego City College. The play was doubley unfortunate for the Comets. Not only was the touchdown called back because of a penalty, but also Hall suffered a shoulder injury during the run. ter Salisbury finished the day completing 32 out of 49 passes for 455 yards, including five touchdowns. Palomar players that took notice were wide receivers Myron Wise, who had two touchdown receptions, and James Lewis, who scored on the opening drive. Others to mention were receivers Jeff Radcliff and Marco Souther who also scored on touchdown receptions. Charles "Choo Choo" Walker finished up the game at quarterback and scored on a short run. In fact, the only negative part of

the game for the offense was a shoulder injury to running back O.J Hall that happened on an apparent touchdown, which was called back on a penalty. The defense was phenomenal. All day they came up with big plays. One of the top performers, linebacker Sal Gelormini, said. "I think the defense is really coming along and were playing great...We've got a couple of big games coming up and we're looking to get into a bowl game," Another Comet defender that had a big game was lineman Paul Goldberg. He scored on an inter-

ception return and a fumble recovery. "We played our football and went hard on every play," said Goldberg, "We wanted a shutout, that was our goal and we got it" Defensive lineman Peau Atoe and Mino Falatoi also stood out, putting pressure on San Diego City's quarterbacks all day. As for special teams, Palomar did not have to punt once in the game and backup running back Juan Garcia, out of San Pasqual, lead the coverage teams with some big hits. Palomar Head Coach Tom Craft said, "We played well at times and -

at other times we just lost our concentration," ... but he still walked off the field with a satisfied smile. "It was good for us to win but we need to come out this weekend and do the same," said receiver and back-up quarterback Charles "Choo Choo" Walker. If the Comets play anything like they did last Saturday the results should be a positive one for Palomar. The Comets take their threegame winning streak to San Diego Mesa College this Saturday.

Pirates make Comet soccer walk the plank WOMEN SUFFER 'FIRST LOSS OF SEASON the other co-head coach, said that overall he was very pleased with the team's performance, "They worked hard," he said, "sometimes it's good to lose.

By Todd Anderson Staf!Writer

Administrative difficulties had prevented the Comets from playing a game against Moorpark College on Oct 19, but Sosa said the team is back on track and a new coaching arrangement has resolved the problem. In a meeting between then-assistant coach Sosa, head coach Jaques LaDouceur, and athletic director John Woods on Oct. 25, Sosa and LaDouceur are now co-head coaches. The change was necessary because LaDouceur will not be available for all of the Comets away games. He recently obtained a contract to play with the San Diego Soccers. According to the school's insurance contract, a school representative must be present at any off-campus game. LaDouceurwas that representative, the new representative for the school will be Barry Jones. Sosa said "Jacques will be at all the future games except the Long Beach game." The Comets will play Long Beach on Nov.9 at Long Beach, which the Comets are favored to win. "The game that really counts," Sosa said," is the upcoming game against Mt. SAC." Mt. SAC, which Palomar tied earlier in the season, has been the toughest competition for the Comets this season, according to Sosa. The Comets play Mt. SAC on Nov. 6 at 3 p.m. at home. The playing field is adjacent to the east student entrance off Mission Road.

"It's a great thrill to beat Lassen," said Oliver after the match. "They are one of the most powerful teams in California this year, especially in dual meets. In dual meets they have had only two defeats in the last five years (before their loss to Palomar), so it's nice to go up against them and defeat them two years in a row." Twice Lassen has fallen to the Comets. Lassen, which placed first or second in state from 198688, settled for fifth place last year after a decisive loss to Palomar. Lassen made up for last year's shame by placing ftrst in the prestigious Cuesta Tournament, with a · 60-point advantage over Palomar. The Cougars will have another chance for pay-back as they host Palomar in the Lassen Tournament in Reno, Nevada, from Nov. 2-3. Palomar, which began a long

road trip with San Bernardino Valley College on Oct. 31, will not wrestle in the Dome until Nov. 14, when they grapple with El Camino College. The dual championship was marred by the absence of West Valley College, which boycotted the event,charging that Palomar recruited West Valley area wrestlers, according to Bob Steckman, one of the organizers of the duals. The Dome, which hosts all of Palomar's indoor sports, has been described by the wrestlers as muggy during the day and frigid during the night. "The physical surroundings does sometimes affect the way you perform, as in any sport," said assistant coach Joe Ismay. Duals, as opposed to individual tournaments, pit teams against other teams, each utilizing a wrestler in the following weight classes: 118, 126, 134, 142, 150, 158, 167, 177, 190 and heavyweight. Points are tallied for individual awards, but the team advances to later rounds by points earned by decisions: two each for a draw, three for a win, four for a major decision (a win by 9-15 points), ftve for a technical win (a win by more than 15 points) and six for a pin or a forfeit. Comet Kevin Mabry. 118 pounds, electrified the 100 fans who remained for the conclusion of the tourney by getting a major decision over Lassen's Aaron Razo, last year's Uolden Valley Conference champion. Mabry's decision sparked a four match

winning streak, culminating in freshman Dusty Harless's 34-second pin of Greg Valencia, in the 142-pound class, which made the score 16-0. Lassen rallied to regain momentum with straight wins in the 150and 158-pound classes. Freshman Eddie Luna stemmed the tide with a 9-7 win, padding the lead to 196. The decisiveness of Purnell's victory can be better understood when Lassen's titan wrestlers, Hercules Ward (190 pounds) and Lamar Washington (278 pounds) are taken into account. Ward, selected as one of the event's allstars, defeated Comet sophomore Erik Johnson for three team points. Washington would then have faced sophomore Todd Falk, who gives away 40 pounds and until recentlywasarunningbackforthe football team. However, with victory in hand, Oliver and Ismay decided not to wrestle Falk, wanting not to risk injury, and forfeited the heavyweight match. Getting to the championship round wasn't easy. In the semifinals, the Comets beat long-time rival Moorpark College, needing a narrow 5-4 victory over Tony Flores in the last match. Ironical! y, Flores manhandled Purnell12-l in the match before. Three Comets were selected to the all-star championship team: sophomore Javier Gonzales (126 pounds), freshmen Dusty Harless ( 142 pounds), and freshman Eddie Luna (167 pounds).

lntramurals 1n high gear at Palomar By Salvador Marquez Sports Writer

It wasn't a normal nine hole, 18 par, golf course. The fairways were cluttered with leaves, candy wrappers and, occasionally, people reading, sleeping or kissing each other. More than 20 students participated in a Frisbee golf tournament on Oct 24 and 25, which is part of a series of intramural games conducted by Student Activities. Last Wednesday's results of the obstacle course held during the Inter-Club Council Halloween Escape were unavailable at press time. A Hacky Sack competition will be held during the week of

November 5. Winners were selected by the lowest total of throws after n~e holes. Red Strath and Juan Garcia tied for first with 14 points and were each awarded a large pizza, compliments of Lamp Post Pizza, in San Marcos. Peau Atoe, second with 16, received a free game at Palomar Lanes, in Escondido. Greg Jacobs, Wayne Ortega and Tom Turk tied for third with 19 and each received a two-for-one coupon for Golfiand, in Escondido. In Frisbee golf, the idea is to hurl the Frisbee at the object designated as the hole (such as a tree or a trash can) or land the disk in the

An unidentified Palomar wrestler takes the grappling advantage at the State Dual Meet held here last weekend. The Comets, ranked fourth before the tournament, beat number one ranked Lassen College at the meet, possibly improving their ranking to number one.

lntramural·s (continued from page 11) The course began in front of the Student Union, continued to the clock tower, to the end of the parking lot side of the Student Services building, along the parking lot to the locker room, finishing at the bnck wall in front of the bookstore. Fitting indeed, was the ninth hole gallery that was perched along the wall, though normally most students like to have lunch there anyway. "I thought it was fun, but it was definitely too long, especially hole seven," commented Brent Hardaway, 20, accounting major, who finished five over par. From the

tee, the seventh hole was a staggering 30 yards. "They could have used some sand traps or water hazard, " Hardaway added. The tournament attracted all sorts: accountant, entertainer and athlete. Strath, 23, and a stand-up comic that goes by the name "Redman", competed with a leg injury suffered in a Hacky Sack game. Said Strath, "The tournament gave me something to do while I work off the Hack injury." Strath claimed the fifth hole was the hardest, because of its small

zone and the use of a tree branch, instead of the trunk, as the hole. Second place golfer Atoe, 18, business major, is a starting defensive end for Palomar. His most difficult hole was fhe ninth, which had a huge tree blocking the most direct path to the hole. "They need to chop down this tree," suggested Atoe, who is also encouraged by the games and says Student Activities should have more.

He said Palomar already has a "good basis and a solid foundation forcommunication." Gentry also hopes to see a masstransit system developed for students to travel to and from Palomar and the future location of California State University, San Marcos. Calling himself a "political neophite," this is Gentry's first attempt at running for public office.
