Defeat of Prop. 143 seen as a 'setback' By Roman Koenig Editor-in-Chief When voters defeated Proposition 143, Palomar College lost out on a total of $6.5 million in possible revenue for building improvements. The bond measure that would have given monies to four-year and community college systems for building construction and remodeling lost by a close 51 to 49 percent margin. According to Mike Gregoryk, assistant superintendent/vice president of finance and administrative services, four buildings that would have undergone improvements will go uncompleted. The art, music, math and educational television buildings would have undergone renovations had the proposition been passed. "It's going to set us back," said
Palomar Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs. "We're very much dependent upon state money for construction." According to the bill's text, a total of $450 million would have been allotted to the state's nine UC campuses, 20 State University campuses and 107 community college campuses as well as other higher learning institutions in California. Funds would have gone to build or improve classrooms, laboratories and libraries. Funds would also have gone to earthquake safety, as well as other health and safety improvements. Boggs said that Palomar could put a local bond measure of its own on a later ballot for funds, but the likelihood of its passing would be small. "It would probably be very difficult to pass a local bond issue here because we serve such a large
geographical area," explained Boggs. He said that a local bond measure would require a twothirds majority vote, whereas a state-wide bond measure would not. "We need a campus in Poway and one in Fallbrook," Boggs said. "But would the people in Vista really vote for (the construction of) a campus in Poway, or the people in Poway vote for one in Fallbrook?" Boggs said he saw three major factors why voters defeated the measure. He said that voters rebelled against this year's long ballot by voting no on most of the measures offered. "I don't think the average citizen wants to spend so much time reading through the measures," he said. "So I think there was some reaction against everything because it was too much.
"Then I think there was some reaction because of the uncertainty about the economy," Boggs continued. "It looks like we're headed into a recession and people, I think, are reluctant to vote for anything that would cause bond revenues to increase." Boggs concluded by saying that voters were fed up with politics in ¡ general. "I think that there's just kind of a disgust right now with politics and politicians," he said. "A lot of incumbents were voted out across the country and people are unhappy because (the federal government) couldn't balance the national budget.
'It's going to set us back. We're dependent on state money for construction.'
"I think a combination of those three things may have been what did us in on the ballot. It was close."

SHUT¡DOWN ORDERED¡ The governor of California ordered the shut-down of Palomar College after a planned boycott of classes by students, faculty and administrators to protest the war in Cambodia.

MEChA club strives to make a difference in the community By Stacy Alessio Staff Writer "MEChA, (Chicano Student Movement), is a club for those students who want to get involved with community," said club staff member Lisa Montez. One of the ways MEChA gets involved, according to Montez, is through fund raisers. One major fundraiser that the club had was a raffle, which was held in October. The three winners of the drawing received free airfare for two to Hawaii. Another fundraiser was held at Palomar's Halloween Escape. The club sponsored a pumpkin carving contest where they raised roughly $50, said Montez. Lydia Zepeda, president of MEChA, said that the remaining pumpkins went to charity. "The left over pumpkins were donated to a shelter for deprived and abused children," said Montez. Zepeda said that a big part of the money raised goes to MEChA's Christmas program. According to Montez, the program was started about 20 years ago for the children who had attended a MEChA summer program. "We wanted to show the children that we still remembered them," said Montez, "and it was such a good idea, that MEChA ~as been doing it ever since." Montez said they realized that there were many families whose children were not part of the summer program who were

More parking spaces may soon materialize at the Escondido Center with the unanimous approval Tuesday of a resolution by the Palomar Community College Governing Board declaring that city's zoning ordinances do not apply to the college. Under California Government Code Section 53091, school and community college districts must comply with city zoning ordinances. An exception exists, however, when a district governing board identifies land as being used to support classroom activities. Such an exception requires approval by a two-thirds vote of a governing board. Vice President of Finance, Michael Gregoryk, said that Palomar has a letter signed by the Escondido city attorney recognizing that city zoning ordinances do not apply to the parking project. According to attorney for Palomar, Ellen Michaels, the resolution, "Dots the I' s and crosses the T's," with the city. She commented that Escondido has generally responded favorably to the parking proposal. Director of Contracts at Palomar, Bryant Guy, said that 279 additional parking spaces are planned to be located south of the center. Four parcels totaling slightly over 1.8 acres will be purchased for the parking lot. While no funds have yet been identified for the project, Trustee Barbara Hughes pointed out during the meeting that other school districts are engaged in talks with the city to renegotiate their redevelopment fund agreements and asked what Palomar is doing along these lines. Gregoryk responded that campus officials have been talking to city administrators and that $700,000 · $800,000 in Escondido redevelopment funds

may be available. Guy said after the meeting that he has no firm price projections for the project. However, he estimates the cost of land improvements such as lighting and asphalt to be approximately $150,000. He also said that while no formal negotiations have taken place with the landowners to acquire their properties, informal dialogue has occured. Campus officials have sought appraisals and are expecting a cost estimate report from Michaels' office next week.
Palomar names first chief advancement officer By Fred E. Tracey News Editor
It appears that Palomar College is getting serious about raising money. And to prove its seriousness, the college's Governing Board approved the hiring of Dale K. Wallenius as the college's first chief advancement officer. Wallenius will be paid $67,068 a year, a sum college officials are touting not to be a lot considering the potential donations Wallenius could bring in. Palomar President Dr. George Boggs is hoping that Wallenius will bring in enough the frrst year in donations to cover the expenses of the new executive position. Palomar received 30 applicants for the position, and the pool was narrowed down to two. Wallenius received the recommendation of a committee of staff and faculty members, and at the board's Tuesdfly night meeting, received even more kudos. "There's no question that he's knowledgeable about ourcommunity," said Dr. Phoebe Helm, in(see CHIEF- page 8)

Should instant replay get sacked? Bad calls ruin football; instant replay scores in fairness and accuracy By Rich Donovan Sports Editor
The invention of the instant replay is right up there with the invention of the football helmet. They are both life savers in the world ofthe N.F.L. The helmet saves players lives from oncoming tacklers and the instant replay saves referees' lives from unruly fans. Players, owners and fans alike have had mixed emotions about the instant replay since its induction into the N.F.L. back in 1986. Some complain that the whole instant replay process adds too much time to the game and that it detracts from the excitement of the game by making the fans and the players wait out the referees' final decision. Some also complain that it takes away from the true nature and sportsmanship of the game, bringing it out of its raw uncivilized form.
whose true nature is to have inconsistent and bad refereeing decide its outcome is nota true sport TheN .F .L. wants their sport to be as true as possible.

~~-e{~~~ia~~ Instant replays squander time, undermine referees and bore sports fans ze
By Sean Dean Sports Writer Imagine you are watching the Super Bowl on television and your team has just driven down the length of the field. Its fourth down and goal at the six-yard line and your team is down by four points; there are only seven seconds left in the game. Your team's quarterback throws the ball to a receiver covered in the endwne, the receiver is about to catch the ball when all of a sudden the network covering the game goes to a commercial. Your frustration is similar to that of sports fans all across this nation who must endure instant replay in pro football. There is nothing more frustrating than when a controversial play happens in a big game and the fiasco begins, the dreaded instant replay. The instant replay was a good idea at first, but has turned out to be a joke. Example: Four weeks ago, when the Cleveland Brvwns took on their rivals the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, there were three plays reviewed via the instant replay. This resulted in a total of 30 minutes of delay during the game, for just three plays.
One of the plays was reviewed for 10 minutes to simply figure out whether it was the third or fourth down. I always thought that the head referee determined the law of the field. Another reviewed play during the game took 15 minutes to only discover that the officials on the field were right in their call of the play. For the fans, this confusion and mismanagement of time because of the instant replay takes away from the fun and enjoyment of watching football. Two weeks ago, Keith Jackson, sportscaster· for ABC Sports, was a guest on ESPN's Sportscenter. He was asked if division one college football should follow in the footsteps of the N.F.L. and accept instant replay. He answered, "No. The way college football is set up today, and how the fans are behind their teams, is the purest form of football there is and the instant replay would just be a thorn in its side." So why does the N .F.L. have the instant replay? The thrill of the win it or lose it, gut-wretching, go for it
Do you agree with the NFL's prop9sal to move the Superbowl since Business if they didn't want Arl.zona VOterS "No, Martin Luther King day, · t d M t• ·that's the state's opinreJeC e ar an ion. Thisshouldn'tbea Luther l<ing day? black and white issue. (Photos by Tracy Wilson)
It's not that the man was black, it's what he did."
Aspmwe Marketing "Yes. For any large organization to go ·ahead and do an activity in an area that supposedly does not support the holiday, would implicate that they agree with the state's decision."
Undecided "Dr. King was a big part of U.S. history, but if a state chooses tq not have the holiday, the N .F.L. shouldn't take the superbowl away. I'm not saying it's right, but it is the state's choice.. "
all play is gone from pro football because of the threat of it being turned back by the instant replay. People go to watch football to get rowdy and take in the pure entertainment that the game gives, not to be bored to sleep. And certainly they do not attend to have their valuable time wasted while someone spends 10 minutes confmning that the officials on the field were right in the fust place. If theN.F.L. owners do not make the decision in the future to drop the instant replay, you can count on a drop in attendance in the stadiums around the nation. Pro football needs to be brought back to its purest form. The way it was in the days of Dick Butkus, OJ. Simpson, and Roger S tau bach. The field referees need to be able to do their jobs, that's what they were hired for. The instant replay has intimidated the officials on the field, they are hesitant to make a call in fear that they may be proven wrong by someone with a monitor. Granted, referees sometimes make bad calls, but they are doing their best to ensure a fair and honest game. TheN .F .L owners should give the officials a break and give the control back to the field judges. Give them their confidence back and do away with the instant replay.
Undecided "I don't think it's right for them to take the Superbowl away. Football has nothing to do with politics."
"lt'snotrightforthem to pull the superbowl from the state just because they don't want to make it a holiday. That should be the voter's choice."

Palomar nursing graduate creates perfect 'mate' for today's nurses By Tony Cavallo Staff Writer You've just come out of major surgery. Barely conscious, you look over to see a nurse taking down vital information about your state of being on scraps of unorganized, easily misplaced little pieces of paper. "WHAT?!" you scream, raising your blood pressure through the roof. "This is my life you're dealing with! Let' s get a little organized!" Registered Nurse Connie Swed listened. Knowing that a better, more efficient system was needed to record important bedside notes, the 1984 graduate of Palomar College invented Chartmate, a patient care pocket organizer. Now we can relax. Released last spring, Chartrnate is a small binder that helps nurses organize daily activities, reduce charting time, increase their chart-
ing accuracy and assist the nurse in giving reports on the patient's health. It contains such things as charting guidelines, laminated reference cards, daily planning pages and a monthly calender. S wed conceived and created her product in 1986, but had trouble finding a publisher. "[I faced] a lot of heartache and disappointment," she said, but being the persistent person she is, she didn't give up. "I never wanted to say 'I wish I had done that."' After showing Chartmate to many companies who weren't interested or were unable to take a risk with a new product like this, Promedica International, a medical marketing firm, agreed to give Chartmate a chance. Promedica worked with Swed by publishing sample inventories of her product, contacting catalog companies and distributors, and promoting it in other ways. The product took four years to
Firefighters graduate in a blaze of glory By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer Palomar College's third Firefighting Academy graduated 28 students on Nov. 6. The graduation was the first since the program moved to the Palomar campus after being taught at a variety of sites in North County. The program was started because North County fire chiefs said that they were not satisfied with MiramarCollege'sfirefighting program. According to the Palomar College Director of Public Service Programs, Kelly Chun, this program has surpassed expectations. "I talked with fire chiefs from
Carlsbad, Vista and other North County cities," said Chun, "and they love this course." Chun said that the fire departments, which send employees through the program, are finding that the graduates then stimulate fellow workers to better performance. "They (working graduates) are getting all of the old timers and more experienced fire fighters interested in physical conditioning again, and adding a whole new life blood into the system," he said. Enrollment is limited to 30 stu-

Hi JIIF According to Melba Kooyman associate professor of nursing at Palomar, the idea is a good one, but it has presented some problems for the students due mainly to its size. The students found it awkward to carry as it didn't always fit in their pockets. She also said that the Student Nursing Association at Palomar had designed a laminated card which helps with assessment, and has a similar purpose. Chartrnate is available through nursing supply stores, direct mail, catalogs and bookstores, including Palomar's bookstore. It cost between $1.69 and $2.39, with refills , Palomar graduate Connie Swed is shown with her invention available. Chartmate.
dents, and entry can be tough. According to Chun, about 165 entries were screened to fill the limited openings. "They went through physical conditioning tests, and oralinterviews so that we could assess them personally," said Chun. "In the fire fighting world these people are going to be elbow to elbow working, and if someone is not quite making it, you don't want him working with you because your life may be in his hand." Applicants are required to have an Emergency Medical Technicians Certificate. The intense course follows curriculum established by the State Fire Marshal's Office, and must include certain scientific as well as physical training. "The students go through different drills, including rapelling, which is where a student learns to go down a rope that is dangling over the edge of a building or rock, as well as, walkmg through hot rooms, with their full gear on in order to get used to the heat," Chun said. Once they have been exposed to the heat, the students implement the fire fighting skills in these conditions. "By the time that they
finish this academy," he stated, "they are well on the way to mastering fire-fighting skills." For the first two academies, students were sponsored by the local fire departments. Chun said that this is the first time the academy has had self-sponsored students. "We divide it into 20 agencysponsored students and 10 selfsponsored students, so that we give those who are not already employed a good chance for employement," said Chun. The program offers graduates a class A Fire Fighter's License which Chun said is better than an AA degree when working at a fire department. The course takes eight weeks, and meets six days a week, 10hoursaday. Fire fighting facilities throughout North County are used, and all the teachers are contemporary fire fighters working in the field.
The cost of the program is $50, plus any expenses which may come up during the course including hair cuts and uniform. "Though the emphasis here at Palomar is academic, opportunities abound for students," said Chun, "be they interested in police or frre. We can meet their demands, all they need to do is contact us."

Community Palomar . Orchestra crescendos into new concert season
Palomar College Presents
THEADVENTURES OF PADDINGTON BEAR Musical play starts Nov. 30 "' For tickets call744-1150 ext.2453
By Amelia Bowles Feature Editor The Palomar Community Orchestra initiated its opening concert season with a somber request by conductor Robert Gilson, for a moment of silence in honor of the late renowned composerLeonard Bernstein. Shortly following the haunting, dead-quiet air of respect in the Palomar College Theater, Gilson, associate professor. of music on campus, then led the audience down a musical road of scary, Halloween-like compositions. "A Night on Bald Mountain," by Modest Mussorgsky, opened the performance of the 76 member orchestra. The strings played chords of excitement, and the flute solos took flight off the stage. The audience gave it a vigorous applause at the piece's completion. After a brief intermission, Gilson spoke to the audience, following in the same fashion as Bernstein's "Young Peoples Concert." Bernstein was the pioneer composer to set the trend of familiarizing musical pieces to his audience with background information. Gilson introduced various instruments that were to be highlighted in "A Sorcerer's Apprentice," by Paul Dukas. Magic was represented by the strings, the broom by basses, oboes and flutes, water by strings and oboes and the sorcerer by full brass.
This was the most complicated piece the orchestra played, demonstrated by the high contrast of notes covered, at a quick running pace. The flutes had an almost impossible task in the wild, yet acoustically poetic performance. Principle flute player, Jane Masure said, "The fmger movements and hand positions are difficult. With a wide scale of notes, at such a fast pace, there is little room to breathe." The closing composition was "Symphonie Fantasique, " by Hector Berlioz. The orchestra chose to feature the fourth movement, "Procession to the Stake," and the fifth movement, "Witches Sabbath," from the composition's entirety. Tones were similar in both movements, but the "Witches Sabbath" was much more loud and violent. The roll on the kettle drums and heavy brass sections forcefully took hold of your ears in this particular p1ece. The satirical musical play between the clarinets and oboes was designed by the composer to mock the love theme of the piece, which was written as a tribute to Harriot Smithson, the actress he ultimately married. Conductor Gilson, added at the end of the concert, "I am very pleased, as it was extremely difficult music to play." The next musical program, will be the department's annual"Holiday Concert," Dec. 14 thru 16.
Almost everyone saw the previews for Adrian Lyne's newest movie "Jacob's Ladder," and almost everyone agreed it could possibly be the most terrifying horror movie of the year. Now thatit'sout, the public agrees that it was fairly scary, the only problem being that almost every single scary part was shown in the preview, and the way they were arranged had absolutely nothing to do with the actual film. But don't get me wrong, it was still a good movie. "Jacob's Ladder" was very suspenseful and definitely held my attention throughout. The Film starred Tim Robbins, who was most recently seen in "Cadillac Man" and "Bull Durham," as main character Jacob Singer. Jacob is a postal worker who just happens to have a Doctorate (don't they all?) and is a Vietnam vet who is apparently losing his mind. Strange things happen to Jacob, such as being locked in a New York subway station or almost getting run down by a large car filled with blurred people. Jacob doesn't know what is real and what is a hallucination or nightmare, and this is making him a little nervous. Actually, "very paranoid" is probably a bit more descriptive. He tries not to leave his house and lives in constant fear of whatever is trying to get him. A problem that may cause some people to dislike the movie is that nothing in the entire film is sure. Just when you get used to one situation, everything changes. The movie is seen through Jacob's eyes, and so it is impossible to distinguish between his nightmares and what is really happening. This will come off as very confusing to some, and just irritating to others. "Jacob's Ladder" is rated 'R', partly because of a very graphic hospital scene that will bother anyone who cannot normally stand the sight of blood or suffering. If you are sensitive about blood, don't see this movie. It is not necessarily gory, but the blood that there is, is not pleasant. Overall I enjoyed the movie and might even go see it again. It was thought provoking and psychedelic, although a little confusing. If you think you can handle it, go see it

WOMEN SECURE SPOT IN REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Soccer ·k icks into finals By Todd Anderson Staff Writer

Midfielder Kim Franzen dribbles past an Orange Coast player during a recent match up at Palomar.
After a very impressive season, the Palomar women's soccer team has secured their spot in theRegional Championships. The Comets, who finished in first place in the Orange Empire Conference, will play the first place team of the the Western States Conference to decide who will go onto state champs. The Comets topped off their 81-3 season on Nov. 9 with a close 2-1 victory over Long Beach City College (L.B.C.C.). The Comets were highly favored to win their final game of the season, but Long Beach wasn't willing to hand it over that easily. "They were a tougher and better team than the Long Beach team we played earlier this season," said Comet co-head coach Henry Sosa. He added that Palomar's game was plagued with a new problem,

they couldn't seem to get their shots off. "Shots were taken from too far away and too slowly," said Sosa, "and we couldn't capitalize on break away shots." He attributed these problems to the fact that the Comets were missing two of their key players, Sarah Case and Rhonda Paul. Case was out because of minor surgery and Paul was not allowed to dress for the final game because of a redcard 9 (a penalty card) that she received versus Mt. San Antonio College. Case and Paul play a vital part in the Comets' offensive strategy. Their absence was obvious in the Comet's squeaky victory over L.B.C.C., who have been_known as being the Bad News Bears of women's soccer. The Comets were told by Sosa in a pep-talk prior to the game that "they (L.B.C.C.) have nothing to lose today and we have everything at stake," which was very true. A loss to LBCC could have knocked Palomar out of the finals picture and could have sent Mt. San Antonio College (Mt.SAC) instead. The Comets victory over L.B.C.C. cements a place in the regional finals for Palomar against the first place team in theW estern States Conference, El Camino College. , On Nov. 6 the Comets, rebounding off their only loss of the season, had handed Mt. San Antonio College their first loss by a score of 2-1. "We (the coaches) couldn't be more pleased with the girls," said co-head coach Henry Sosa. "Jaques (LaDouceur) and I told the girls that after our loss to O.C.C. there were three steps left to getting to the champs. Mt. SAC was the second and most difficult step." The Comets had lost by a score of2-1 toO.C.C.twoweekspriorto the Mt. SAC game. They immediately bounced back and wiped-out Golden West College by a score of 3-1, the only team to beat OCC twice this season. Then they did it again by coming from behind to stop Mt.SAC from having an undefeated season. "The score doesn't tell the whole story," said Case, starting forward for the Comets, referring to the Golden Westgame."Wehad
a lot of shots hit the goal post." Which has been the major problem for the lady kickers all year long. "We are a very unlucky team," said Sosa, as he pointed out that several Palomar shots had hit the goal post in the Mt. SAC game. The Mt. SAC team , who was in first place at the time with the only undefeated record in the league, had come out playing very aggressively and scored early. The Comets played tough, matching Mt. SAC's aggressiveness, but couldn't get the ball in the back of the net. To no avail, several changes in strategy and positions were made in an attempt to score a point in the first half. At the half Mt.SACwasup 1-0. Sosadecided to pull goalie Stephanie Case and put her on the field. Within five minutes after the second half started, Case fed the ball to forward Allison Gibson, who slammed the ball in for the Comets first score. Three minutes later Case fed the ball to Heather Armstrong, who took the shot but was fouled in the goal, giving Palomar a penalty shot. Sara Case, Stephanie's sister, took the shot. Case said "I had never been so nervous about a shot in my life." Case booted the ball in for the game winning point and the CometS held on to win. Late in the game the Mt.SAC team could not maintain their level of aggressiveness that they began the game with. "It was our stamina that beat them," said Sosa. "Our fitness level is very high and it paid off." The women's stamina comes from the 1,000 sit-ups and the number of sprints the team does every practice. With the come from behind victory over Mt. SAC, and the tough win over L.B.C.C., Palomar is now in first place and will be hosting the Regional Championship Tournament at Palomar. If victorious there, the team moves onto the State Championship, which will be held on Dec.1 at a location to be announced. The Comets battled El Camino College earlier in the season to a tie. Coach LaDouceur, the Comets otherco-headcoach, said "We will

Polo takes dive at state playoffs versus Cuesta By Salvador Marquez Sports Writer
The Palomar College water polo team's hopes of a state championship crashed when they lost 18-14 to the top-ranked Cuesta College Cougars in the Southern S::alifornia · regional tournament in Long Beach, on Nov.9. The Cougars growled their way on to the state championships by surviving an 11-6
Comet scoring scare in the second half, relying mainly on a 12-3 advantage gained in the first half. "They played tightly," said head coach Joe McEveety. "There's a point of being psyched up when you can become psyched out"
The Comets' strong showing in the playoffs, which included a stomping of Pasadena City College 17-14, and its powerful schedule might insure sixth place in California, according to McEveety.
All-American nominees Dan Gill (five goals) and Fred Gleason (six goals) stymied the daunted Cougar defense. Gleason led all Comets in post-season scoring with 13 goals, Gill followed with nine. "Gleason's had a few bad games, but generally he's our spark. When he gets going the whole team gets pumped," said McEveety. One of the reasons why Palomar had such a strong second half was the unconventional
strategies used, such as pulling the goalie to pressure the hole-man or dropping all of the defenders to pounce on stray passes. McEveety later said that these tactics required more swimming from his team and this accounted for the Comets fatigue in the fourth period against Cuesta. McEveety is optimistic about next year. The Comets will lose Gleason, team leader Eric Sprague, Bernard Hafferkamp and Mark Holterman to transfer. The Comets finish with a 10-20 record.

eases now," she said, "we won't have any students in 10 years." In an attempt to make colleges aware of the potential dangers of campus rape, the Santa Monica Rape Treatment Center in Los Angeles launched a national campaign against campus rape this semester. The campaign materials include ads and posters for colleges to display information about current legislation and proposals for legislation requiring colleges to implement written procedures for handling assault and to implement mandatory rape-prevention pro-
grams for freshmen. "The goal of the campaign and the film," said Marybeth Roden, director of the RTC, "is to reduce the epidemic number of campus sexual assaults." Video goes unseen The campaign by the RTC is spearheaded by a 20-minute video, hosted by "L.A. Law's" Susan Dey and Corbin Bernsen, which has been sent to over half of the approximately 3,200 colleges across the nation. A copy of the video was ordered by Palomar in May, but no student showings have been held.

The Comets will have their two key players back and their proven physical stamina, which decided the Mt. SAC game, as major advantages coming into the championship game. The Comets also have the league leading scorer, Allison Gibson, on their side. The Comet's coaches have said they feel that they will be at the state champs, but had a word of reality for their team. "The girls have to realize," said Sosa, "it is not written that we will win. We have to play tough every game." The championship game is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 24 at
2:30p.m. and will be played on the soccer field, which is adjacent to the East student entrance on Mission Road. "This could be the fust year the Comets bring home Regional and State Championship trophies," Sosa said, "It would be good for people to come out and support girls championship soccer."

It took Galileo 16 years to master the universe.
You have one night. It seems unfair~ The genius had all that time. While you have a few short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the dreaded astronomy exam. On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp. If Galileo had used Vivarin, maybe he could have mastered the solar system faster, too.
