Expanded parking around arboretum meets opposition

By Salvador Marquez Staff Writer The Palomar College Governing Board has dispatched Director of Buildings and Grounds Mike Ellis to gage community opinion on eight possible areas for parking expansion.

These areas were identified in an effort to accomodate a projected increase of the student population to 60,000 in the next 10 to 15 years and to help settle complaints about inadaquate parking space, said Ellis.

According to Ellis, the eight possible parking areas are just part of a group of alternatives that also include a more emphasized Rideshare program, expanded satellite schools in Fallbrook and Poway and a San Marcos transit center, planned for construction in the summer of 1991.

Students and faculty have expressed concern over the possible effect increased parking may have on local greenbelts--the natural undisturbed chaparral around the campus.

"What we're looking for are the pros and cons of it," explained Ellis. "If there are students who are concerned about the greenbelts, we need to know that."

According to Ellis, he welcomes input on the proposal and on whether additional parking is needed.

A three-page report describing all eight projects was sent out by Building and Grounds to all Palomar College staff on Oct. 10.

There will be a governing board meeting, open to the public, to addressEllis'sassessmentinJanuary, according to board President Harvey Williamson.

One of the student groups that first reacted to the possible expansion of parking spaces was the Biosphere Club, which has taken on the role of an environmental watchdog group.

The two possible parking areas Biosphere vehemently opposes are the hills between the Cactus Garden and the Arboretum, and the ¡extension of student parking

Comet Week passes quietly, no Homecoming this year

Palomar students have beeo marching out of their classrooms and into combat duty in Saudi Arabia. Officials estimate three students a week are leaving as a result of the Gulf Crisis.

Deployment impacts enrollment

By Ziad Al-Dabhan StaffWriter Palomar College continues to steadily lose students to Operation Desert Shield.

According to Judy Duncan, director of veterans' services, since the initiation of the call-up, at least 60 students, male and female, have withdrawn from Palomar College and have been deployed to Saudia Arabia. More continue to leave each week. She added that since Veterans' Services is not "automated," there is no way to know exact! y how many students are in the Reserves and may thus be called.

Herman Lee, director of admissions and records, said that enrollment at the beginning of the semester at the Camp Pendleton Satellite Center was down significantly. He attributes this to Op-

Nancy Compian, senior office specialist at that satellite center, said that at this time last year, enrollment was greater by about 230. Most of the current students are either dependents or civilians. Military student enrollment is a "limi~ed amount."

In a letter to all faculty, Dr. David A. Chappie, vice president of student services, asked that teachers assure departing students that the school will do all it can "to minimize the college related issues in view of the more important concerns they

Two years ago, the Palomar College student government decided to bring back the traditional Homecoming ceremony after a seven-year absence. The revival was short-lived. Homecoming took a hiatus this year and the annual Comet Week of activities passed by quietly last week.

"We really didn't plan ahead enough," said ASG President Sean Nix. "We tried to do the best we could."

According to Nix, this year's ASG is made up of practically all new members who were not familiar with the procedures of putting Homecoming and Comet Week together.

"It seems like I say this a lot, but our group kind of got off to a late start on this," explained Nix. "We only had myself, Mette (Urbach) and Rob (Aikins) who were re-

turning from last year; and I was a new senator who came in at the end of the year (last Spring), so I really didn'â&#x20AC;˘. know what was going on either."

Nix says that Homecoming will return next fall despite this year's unplanned hiatus.

"It was a great learning experience if nothing else," said Student Activities Director Jim Bowen.

"They learned that you have to plan far in advance, and that you have to get out a lot of publicity and you should try and get as many people involved (including clubs) in the activities also."

Despite the lack of publicity for last week's Comet Week celebration, the ASG did hold some events including a Ping Pong tournament on Monday and a dunking booth on Tuesday. ASG members also tried to make up for the lack of

FIRST SNOW IN COLLEGE'S 21¡ YEAR HISTORY ¡Palomar College students, staff and faculty ended tbe semester on a chilly note when the snow fell on the campus on Dec. 13. To celebrate the occasion, a "frosty edition of The Telescope," the "Snowscope," was published in blue ink the next day featuring photos of snowfights and cars in the parking lots caught in the unexpected slush.

By Stacy Alessio Staff Writer The Pi Alpha Flight Team, . founded over 20 years ago, recently took off after being on the ground for three years, making it the only active collegiate flight team in Southern California.

In past years Palomar was ranked one of the best collegiate flight teams in the country, said Co-President of the Flight Team Sean Reintjes. "In fact, another team had told us that they had modeled their team after Palomar's."

According to Reinjtes, the flight team had died out in 1987, when most of the members transfered from Palomar.

David Holt, treasurer of the Flying Club, said although the club just became active last year they did well competing in the national SafeCon competition, an event which promotes safety.

They placed fourth out of 12 teams.

According to Reinjtes, the club will compete again in March in the SafeCon competition, sponsored by Alpha Eta Rho, an organization of flight clubs of which Pi Alpha is a chapter. "The competition promotes safety. and you will not see any stunt flying here," said Reinjtes.

Events include a message drop, wherethepilotmustdropan object in a tire from a certain altitude.

Although Reinjtes, Holt and several other members are licensed pilots, one need not be a pilot to join. "The only criteria for joining the club is to have six college units," he said. "At that

Reinjtes said that the club also takes field trips. Last year, members had an opportunity to visit the Miramar Naval Air Station, where they went on a tour of the F-14 fighter plane training facilities.

"That's probably as close to the F14 as the average person will ever get," said Co-President Chris Haas.

Reinjtes said although club members enjoy all of the informative events, funds tend to limit their activities. "All of this is expensive, which makes fundraising very

important to the club."

To accumulate funds, members of the Flight Team say hope to have fundraisers. One idea membershavebeencontemplatingisan airplane wash. Reinjtes said they will probably charge $100 for a wash and wax that would normalty cost over $300 if done professionally.

Currently, the club has about eight members, and Reinjtes blames this on a lack of publicity.

"I don't come here (to the meetings) to pay tribute to the flag," said ASG Senator Tom Turk. "I . come here to represent the students and to figure out their problems."

Due to conflict of personal and religious beliefs among ASG officers, the Pledge of Allegiance was taken off of the agenda at the beginning of the fall semester. However, because of the Iraqi crisis, Nix said that he felt a need to honor U.S. troops by beginning ASG meetings with the Pledge.

"Our country seems to be inevitably coming closer to a war. I would like to recognize their (troops) involvement, right or wrong, and pay tribute to them by saying the Pledge of Allegiance," said Nix in his speech addressing the student government.

Smokeout successful

By Todd Anderson Staff Writer "Kiss me, I don ' t smoke" may not be the most common pick-up line heard in local bars, but the line may have worked last month.

On Nov. 15, the American Cancer Society sponsored the Great American Smokeout, a national campaign that is designed to encourage smokers to kick the habit, and give them a date to start a different lifestyle, without smoking.

The annual Smokeout, celebrating its 15 th anniversary, was sponsored on Palomar's main campus for the third year by Health Services. Connie Netzley, nurse educator for Health Services, said, "It was a successful day, several people lined up to talk to us and pick up information."

Heath Services had set up shop in the student union on Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to I p.m. during which they handed out pamphlets, buttons and a quit smoking survival kit. The kit including information regarding the harmfulness of smoking, easy ways to quit smoking and a book of tip-less matches.

Boggs travels to nation's capitol

By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer

Michael Bagslad/Staff Photographu

Boggs serves on the governing board of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges.

Desert

Palomar President Superintendent Dr. George Boggs recently journeyed to Washington D.C. to attend a meeting of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, an organization which represents 1,200 two-year colleges across the country.

Boggs won a three-year term on the AACJC Governing Board last February in a nationwide election. "It felt good to get support from other college presidents," said Boggs. "Sometimes it's hard to get known outside your own state." There were only six positions open for institutional representatives, and Boggs said that he

was up against" a number of other other candidates."

The AACJC wants to boost the image of community colleges nationwide. "We recently got USAToday to honor some community college students who have done well," said Boggs.

He said that the recent Nov. 6 meeting also focused on the problem of student loan defaults.

"Junior colleges were being targeted by the government," he said, "when the problem was actually a small number of proprietary schools."

Boggs said that private specialty colleges like fashion institutes or broadcasting schools were accepting tuition from their students in the form of government

(continued from page 1) have due to their deployment to the Middle East."

Faculty members are permitted to issue a "W" to deployed students who have that option on the grade roster. Otherwise, an evaluative grade or "I" will be issued, which the student may later petition to change to a "W." For students who choose an "I," it will be noted on record that the student is being transferred by the military.

By an instructor's request, the deadline for an "I" may be extended for students unable to complete the course.

To date, no faculty or staff have been sent. However, at least several currently serve in the Reserves.

Flag (continued from page 3) ins, who objected to Nix's proposal, offered Nix an alternative patriotic gesture to saying the Pledge of Allegiance, one which Aikins said would be more beneficial to U.S. soldiers. "If Sean were that much into it (patriotism) then he would be in the ROTC right now," said Aikins. "He's talking about supporting them, well he can join the Marine Corps and still go to school and they will pay for his school."

Comet (continued from page 1) actiVIties by organizing the "Comet Express," a bus excursion for student government members and students who went to the Hall of Fame Bowl last Saturday to cheer on the Comet football team.

"They did do a lot of interesting things, but they just didn't get the word out," Bowen said. "The 'Comet Express' was a good idea, but again they didn't think of it until (last) week."

Nix said that those who did go to the Bowl on the "Comet Express," organized by senator Angela Snedeker, painted their faces in red and white, threw candy to the audience and led them in cheers when the Comets scored.

Out of the confusion surround-

ing this year's Comet Week and Homecoming has come something good, according to Nix. "We're going to save money from this one time, though, in our budget," he said. He explained that the ASG will contribute that saved money to an expanded and much-publicized Mayfair this Spring.

According to Bowen, the ASG has learned from its mistakes this time around. Bowen said that plans arc already in the works for a retreat to in January to assign people and plan for Mayfair.

"Homecoming should be good," he concluded. "They're thinking about it now, which is a good time to think about it."

However, Nix contended that patriotism does not require joining the ~ilitary. "If everyone joined the military then where would that leave our country?" asked Nix. "My job as a college student is to be educated, but if there is a draft, I will quit school and join. I'm not afraid to go to war."

Even though the majority of ASG officers contested Nix's proposal, there were some officers who were supportive of the idea.

"I don't see it like we are pledging our allegiance to this government or to any political party," said Senator Timothy Platt. "We are pledging it to the people that have come before us and what they have done to make our country what it is today."

Nix said the Pledge of Allegiance discussion is another example of one of the "petty" issues which often tapes the government down.

He said that organization can be improved by getting ASG officers to take on their responsibilities and see them through. "The goal of the government is to accomplish the goals that we set at the beginning and the end of the year," said Nix. "We need to get away from petty things."

Proposals {continued from page 1) lot nine to the east and the south up to the base of the Arboretum.

Said Biosphere Club President Robert Nanninga, "It's still natural habitat. Protect that. What are we going to do, surround the Arboretum in a giant parking lot?

"That is a classroom out there right now.

The Arboretum, and all the surrounding green area, is a natural classroom that has been here for centuries."

Nanninga agrees with proposals presented by Ellis concerning Rideshare programs, the coming transit center and more lockers for bicycles. However, Nanninga believes a multi-level parking structure and raising the price for parking stickers, presently at $12.50 per semester, are the keys to solving the growth issue.

A parking structure could be built over parts of student parking lot 12 and be funded by doubling student parking fees, according to Nanninga. He cites the security and the added convenience of a structure that is closer to the campus.

Under section 7224 7 of the California Education Code, community college districts cannot charge more than $40 per semester for parking. Other community colleges, such as Miracosta College and Grossmont College charge $15 per semester for an automobile. Saddleback College in Orange County charges $20 per semester.

A parking structure may cost up to $1 million for a two-story structure that would house 100 cars, said Ellis. A parking structure on campus is considered public property, and would need lO meet the safety specifications of the Office of State Architecture.

Contracting personnel must be paid the prevailing wage. This is in contrast lO cityowned buildings, according to Ellis.

"None of these projects have a 'go' or a 'no go' status yet," said Ellis. "We're just looking to set a priority. We don't want to start from scratch."

"A lot of people are upset about some of the proposals and I think that's unjustified because we are on a fact-finding mission.

This is not a proposal that says, 'We're going to do this.' This is a thing that says, 'This is a proposal: Give us your input."'

According to Nanninga, carpooling and public transportation are the ways of the future.

"If you want to park here, that's great," said Nanninga. "If you want to pollute our planet, that's fine, but you're going to pay for it (with higher fees). We're not going to impact surrounding wildlife for your automobile. The people who really want the parking, make them pay for it.

"I think it's the perfect time for us to be learning new lessons on how to live within, and in harmony with, the environment."

Technology highlight of new drafting ce ter

Tom Giammaria!Staff Plwtographâ&#x201A;Źr

Palomar instructor Anne Reiss (center) shares an article with her students about computer drafting in the department's new Computer Aided Drafting center.

Palomar College's drafting program has been updated lO a technological hig.h . Last April, a new drafting lab was equipped with modem computers and "things were up in full force by Summer term," according to Dennis Lutz, associate professor of drafting. .

According to Brian Robertson, chairman of the trade and industry department at Palomar, the new facility is much more comfortable than the old one. The former drafting Jab was small, stuffy, and was located in an old auto shop classroom, he said.

The new facility houses 22 computer-aided drafting (CAD) stations, and 22 drafting boards. Located behind the Health Services BUilding in room E-7, the new center is "much more sophiSticated than the old one," said Lutz.

Hewlett Packard donated three plotters to the new lab, which are machines "that interface with the computer, and actually put the drawings on paper," Lutz explained. The plotters are valued at $10,000 each.

There are other sophisticated pieces of equipment that

have been added to the CAD lab. Recently the lab received a Voice CAD, which lets the user talk to the computer, a feature which is great for disabled students, said Lutz. "We have one guy in here who draws with his foot," he said. In the ncar future, Lutz says that they will get a "Head Master," which is a head piece that can be used as a mouse for a computer, allowing the students to control the computer with their head.

According lO Lutz, funding arrangements and the development of an advisory board for the room's construction were taken on by Brian Robertson.

There is one class for fashion design, using the computers to lay out the style and size of the clothing. By next semester Lutz hopes to have a class for theater also, which would entail set design and construction for performances, according to a September magazine article that Robertson wrote in CADalyst Magazine.

"Participation on a school-wide level provided us with benefits that we could not have done as a stand alone department," said Robertson in his article. "Everyone will be a winner: faculty, students, and industry. Cooperation in community college education is definitely the key."

A NEW PRISON

'Corporate white trash' provides jobs for everyone Dear Editor, Recently, in the "Vox Populi" section of The Telescope (Oct 19), a question was posed as to what candidates the students would be voting for in the upcoming gubernatorial election.

One of the students responded with: "Feinstein because she gives more money to the homeless and not to corporate white trash."

As a business major, I take offense to that. It seems that there is a growing belief that the only reason corporations and business people exist is to give people the shaft.

There also is a growing belief that the homeless are all hardworking, decent, upright citizens who are down on their luck because of the "money-grubbing" corporations.

While there are certainly a number of corrupt businessmen and executives, the majority are people who worked long and hard to get where they are, and are reaping the benefits of their labor.

Naturally, there are also a number of people who are homeless because they have lost their jobs and can't find an affordable place to live. And I think all people would agree that steps should be taken to help these people. But the ones that keep looking for jobs will eventually find them and will once again find a place to live.

But the majority of the future homeless are people that aren't applying themselves in school, dropping out, not learning a trade and will then expect society to take care of them. Homelessness will not be cured by passing out handouts.

And let's not forget, without the "corporate white trash" providing jobs, we'd all be homeless. And does being white make a business owner any more or less moral than a minority business owner?

Christmas means sharing

by Jennifer Garrett Staff Writer

Children sit around the Christmas tree, their eyes softly glowing as they open their long-awaited presents while parents, grandparents and friends look on. A fire crackles in the fireplace, warming the room as children clutch their new toys tightly to their chests.

Christmas means more than just people receiving presents. It is a time of joy and warmth, of forgiveness. This day is not only religious, it is a day of giving from the heart.

"But what do I have to give?" a person may ask. The answer is simple. Give a minute of your time to help someone, either a friend or a charitable organization. You don't have to give a gift that you purchased. Even sharing a special moment with a friend or a relative is worth more than a gift bought with money.

Christmas can be more than just one day. It can last forever if we all take the time to care for someone other than ourselves. Take the time to share a moment with someone.

It would mean more than the richest gift that money can buy.

12- HouR ANO UNUSUAL

Homeless deserve compassion, not coldness Homeless, mentally ill, nowhere to go, no one to talk to.

How much do people care about the homeless in this country?

Bitterness, anger, sadness, helplessness.

This is how I felt when I went with friends to a restaurant around l a.m. last Sunday. From the parking lot we could hear the sounds of a man talking very loudly. As we walked closer, we could see a man in tattered rags with a long, dirty beard pretending to talk over a C. B. radio. He told everyone around him that he was acting like a "Navy fighter pilot" in Vietnam. The terms he used seemed very authentic. It was as if he was reliving something out of his past.

We did not look at him, and walked straight into the restauraflt. It was an uncomfortable feeling. The wait, the waitress said, would be about 20 minutes: just as she said this, the man walked into the restaurant. I had 20 minutes to watch this man and people's reactions to him.

Laughter, ridicule, carelessness, ignorance.

These were the reactions from the people around me-many of them in their late teens. They were of all races. The group included Marines, waitresses, people who had come from the theater and the restaurant manager.

There was no doubt that this man needed help, for he went on to tell other stories about himself. He claimed to be "the world's greatest boxer," an" 18-wheeler," a fighter pilot, a jack-of-all-trades one might say. He lived each of the lives he described right in front of the eyes of the spectators ... spectators watching a comedy.

As he sat down on the waiting-area couch, he asked for a free refill of coffee he said he had ordered when he was in the restaurant earlier. As he continued his monologue, people around him began to laugh. It wasn't just a laugh, it was the type oflaugh that one makes when he or she is seeing something stupid, idiotic or ridiculous.

I looked at every face in that entryway: I saw a group of Marines making fun of him. I saw a man glaring at the actor on the stage while his girlfriend rested her head on his lap.

I saw two other men laughing hard and loudly. But the homeless man did not realize the coldness around him.

Me? I turned my back. I wanted to do something to help, but I did not know what. I almost turned around to the two laughing men and said, "Is it really that funny?" I'm sorry I didn't. I couldn't help but feel like a coward. But out of all of this mindless coldness came one shining streak of light.

P.OY. (Point of View)

Roman Koenig To my surprise one of the men that had been laughing so loudly went over to talk with him. I don't know what transpired between them, but whatever it was, it calmed the dreamer down. He was almost silent.

The move took courage-and compassion-things that are in short supply for the homeless.

Where are our values in this nation? The people in this country seem to care nothing about what happens outside of their own sphere of influence. They insist on cutting themselves off from social responsibility by saying "It's not my problem. The Lord only helps those who helps themselves."

Is that really true? When a homeless, mentally ill man can hardly see the sneers and snickers around him-when he is trapped in a situation where he needs help, but has no one to support him-can he "help himself?" I would certainly hope that the "Lord" has a little more compassion than those who live by the phrase credit him for.

Whenever I have conversations with those that disagree with me on this issue, I am sickened by their premise that it is so '"easy" to get out of homelessness. "Well, they can go to a soup kitchen to eat. They can live on food stamps. There are jobless centers around to help them find a job."

Remember that most homeless centers don't open up until the temperature at night drops below 40 degrees. Remember that it is very difficult to get food stamps when you have no permanent address. It is very difficult to find a job when yo_u are mentally incapacitated.

I see this willful ignorance, I see the faces of those Marines, and I think about the fact that they will most likely be leaving for Saudi Arabia very soon. When I think of them, and all of the people that feel this way about the homeless, it makes me question whether I really want to fight for a country that ignores its homeless citizens.

I see news broadcasts now that say, "Remember our servicemen in Saudi Arabia." We'll be hearing a lot more of this as the holidays near. I, however, ask each and every one of you to remember another group of people.

When you are sitting at your holiday table this season remember those who have no holiday table to sit at, and who have no family to remember.

Obscene art cheats taxpayers Peace over politics must be priority of Gu If action

By Salvador Marquez Staff Writer American troops in the hundreds of thousands are now facing a large force of Iraqis across the Saudi border. This is the price we pay for being "The Defender of Freedom."

It's a title the United States earned when it emerged from two world wars healthier than the rest of the planet. We haven't always lived up to the post, but this has been the role America has tried to play.

Our role in the world has motivated us through the politically good (World War II), the bad (Vietnam) and the ugly (Korea). It is only natural then to compare our current situation with those prior experiences.

This is foolish, for this current situation is infinitely different from past wars.

Yes, this is now a war- technically a war of attrition- ever since the world cut off Iraq from civilization.

This isn't World War II; Hitler didn't use chemical weapons. This isn't Korea; China won't come to Iraq's rescue. This isn't Vietnam; for once our military knows what and who to destroy.

Even though this war is not a repeat of the past, no war is morally acceptable.

In a few weeks, the world will take time to celebrate hope (Hanukkah) and peace (the birth of Christ). Even those without religious belief use the holidays to reflect on the past year.

I appeal to our leaders: in the name of hope and peace, don't trade the blood of our youth for political gain.

Carts stampede students

By Alex Pisarczyk Staff Writer Have you ever walked onto one of the major walkways on campus to feel the wind of a service cart grazing your legs?

I've had a few close encounters with these carts, and I feel that the cart operators could be more cautious, considering that there are close to 14,000 students on campus.

According to Mike Ellis, director of buildings and grounds, there are 30 carts in his department, and 12 others not under his supervision. On a flat surface the carts can reach speeds of up to 15 mph, and there is no special license needed besides a California driver's license to operate one.

"I can't say that there have been any accidents in my department this semester," said Ellis. However, accidents with service carts have occured and might happen again.

With already crowded walkways in the early mornings at Palomar, I would think that there could be a set speed limit, or a designated route during these busy hours on campus.

I've seen these carts force students to the side of the walkways many times, just so they could get to their destination more quickly.

Two cart accidents occured on the same day in February of 89; both students were taken to the hospital with minor cuts and bruises. No one should have to go to the hospital for being hit by a servie cart here at Palomar. Speed limit signs, and intersection markers could give the drivers of the carts an indication to slow down and drive more safely.

By Laura Woolfrey Campus Beat Editor The National Endowment of the Arts recently dropped a contract which mandated that artists who were granted money from the NEA would not use these public funds to produce or promote obscene art.

Because of this decision, moral taxpayers will be forced once again to fund trash deemed as "art."

This contract was deservingly imposed on the NEA due to the many complaints concerning the offensive art which was being produced courtesy of the NEA. Public money is being used to support "artists" such as porno queen Annie Sprinkle, who received $25,000 to promote her talent of masturbating on stage.

By funding this type of work, the government is giving undeserving artists a stamp of approval. As Don Wildmon from The Journal wrote, "As long as government funds are given, the arts community can get support by saying the government approves it."

Another example of the ridiculous use of public funds is a series of pictures by Andes Serrano. These pictures are constructed of the artist's sperm spread on black backgrounds. This series is called "Ejaculate Trajectory."

Instead of subsidizing sueh obscene art, the government

should use our money for other purposes, such as decreasing the deficit. Although NEA funds are admittedly a drop in the bucket, it would surely benefit Americans more to have a stable economy than to view Serrano's sperm.

Decent taxpayers should not be expected to fund art that defies their moral and religious beliefs any more then the Black taxpaying community should be expected to have their dollars used to sponsor a Ku Klux Klan cross burning as artistic expression.

As John K. Lloyd states in the Conservative Review, "The issue is whether people should be taxed to support art which is offensive to them and whether tax money should be handed over to publicize work which is clearly objectionable and even insulting to a large portion of the public from whom the money comes."

By disposing of the NEA contract there is the loss of compromise. With the contract, there was at least some control over what kind of government funded artwork was produced.

Christian and moral values are what made this country great in the first place. America needs to go back to the traditional ways of thinking and behaving. This includes rejecting obscene art. As John Underwood wrote in The Journal, "A society that stands for nothing will fall for anything- and then of course, will simply fall."

Voucher system would save our failing schools

By Tracy Wilson Editorial Page Editor Many people today are servants to low-paying work or find it difficult to land a job at all. They are the falling victims of our society because they followed a dream that did not work; they followed a system that failed them.

These individuals went through the United States public education system.

With all the talk, even on these editorial pages this week, ofhomelessness and poverty, it seems only reasonable for the public to begin endorsing a system that will actually educate children and provide them with some sort offuture.

Only a voucher system could bring us closer to this goal.

America once boasted of its education system, now the same institution is an embarrassment. Horror stories of graduating illiterates remind us of its failures.

According to syndicated columnist Suzanne Fields, our superior, not average, math students score lower on calculus and other tests than students in Japan, Finland, England, Sweden, Canada, Hong Kong and Israel.

One explanation for our uncompetitive children could be the fact that they attend school less than those in other nations. Columnist Stephen Chapman points out that the children in Japan spend a yearly average of 240 days in school. West German children attend 226 days. In the United States, however, the average is only 180 days.

Our schools are not only producing uncompetitive children compared to the rest of the world, but also uncompetitive in comparison with our own past standards.

Economist Warren T. Brookes points out that the average SAT score for a graduating public education student in 1963 was 980, not very high when considering the scores necessary for college. But after almost 20 years of time available for improvement, students' scores fell to an average of 890.

Scientist "He doesn't make presents. He doesn't do anything. He plays with the reindeers."

Bus Driver "He stays flying up in the sky at dark time because he likes staying up in the sky with Rudolf."

Dinosaur "He doesn't come. He stays at his place."

Why is our system so uncompetitive with other nations¡ why aren't our schools even staying in session long enough to truly educate the young? The answer: our schools simply do not need to compete with each other. In a system that holds to the faith that competition leads to more innovation and improvement, it seems odd that with our most precious commodity, children, we instead hold to socialism; we endorse a system which grasps to education with monopoly fingers and finds little reason to improve itself.

Only a voucher system could cure today's failing education in America.

The idea is simple. Parents would basically be handed a piece of paper specifying how many tax dollars they could use to send their children to school. The parents would then choose the institution, whether it be public, private, secular or religious, that they feel could best educate their children.

The schools with the best programs would also have the most students, therefore, the most money. Talk about an incentive to truly educate.

Under a free market system, schools would be forced to be competitive. They would no longer be guaranteed a federal paycheck subsidizing their work regardless of their successes or failures.

And while the education system itself would improve, parents would also have more choices and influence over what values and techniques could permeate the schools.

After all, they could always take their little voucher and go elsewhere.

As it stands, less economically advantaged children are literally captured by a system they have no choice but enter.

Public education is like a void into which we constantly pour money that we never even hear hit bottom.

No amount of sympathy is going to help children find a future. With a little true education, at least for many, there would be more hope.

SA}!JNG GOODB}!~ Marine Sergeant and Palomar student Sean Kevany was recently informed that he was to leave for Saudi Arabia sometime after Christmas. However, those plans changed after he was given orders to leave just days after the announcement He left on Sunday, Nov. 24. Upon leaving, the only information he was given was that he would stay in the region anywhere from 160 days to a year.

"In simple terms, we are the cavalry," Kevany said before he left. ''We are reconnaissance in force, We perform screen operations for enemy elements-not an assault-type vehicle but the eyes and ears of the ground element commander."

His duties in Saudi Arabia will be in the areas of vehicle commander, section leader, platoon sergeant, off-duty education for troops and working for the nuclear biological warfare team.

Ernie Martinez trades meat-packing for broadcasting

By Sean Dean Sports Writer

nator in charge of UCLA and Raiders promos and on the weekends he acts as Program Director.

When you think of the popular and wellknown sports voices on the radio today, Jack Buck, Lee Hamilton and the immortal voice of the Dodgers, Yin Scully, may come to mind. If a Palomar DJ has his way, a new voice may be added to the list. A few years from now, you may tune that AM dial looking for the Sunday ball game and find the voice of Ernie Martinez.

At least that is where Martinez, the sports director of KKSM, would like to end up. "I hope someday to do play-by-play on the radio for a Minor League team or some other fielder for Escondido High School, and the team qualified for the C.I.Fplay-offs during his junior and senior years.

Though Martinez's dream of being baseball player did .n ot pan out, baseball was what got him interested in doing sportscasting for a living. "When I was with my high school baseball team during the games I use to talk into my bat and have my own sports broadcast of the game," said Martinez. "I did play-by-play and even did my own interview show and that is when I decided that this is what I wanted to do."

In 1987 Martinez got his big break. He had been assisting the broadcast team for the radio station by helping out with statistics.

That is when he had to choose. "I had to make a decision to be sportscaster or a meat packer, I chose sportscasting." Martinez said. "In the radio business it is better to have a job in the business no matter what it is."

Martinez offers this advice for up and coming sports broadcasters, "You have to put your time in, you are not going to make itrightaway and you got to have an outgoing personality, you got to be able to take criticism." Much of your success may depend on the teams you are covering, he says. "When a team can give you an exciting game, you can do an exciting game on the air."

Everything has fallen into place for Martinez since then. He became the Sports Director in '89 and got a job at local country radio station KOW. Martinez currently works at KSBA, where he is the Production Coordi-

Martinez attributes his success to his family. "They have always backed me and have been very supportive." Martinez said.

"My friends have really helped me also, you need that to get by in this business."

This past summer Martinez attended a sportscasters camp in Los Angeles where he was able to learn from some of the bestin the business. The camp featured such personalities as Roy Firestone from ESPN's Sports Look ,and Randy Hahn, the voice of the San Diego Sockers. "They guided me into what it is going to take to make it in the business."

Some of Martinez's most memorable moments in covering Palomar sports have been "Calling the winning kick by Lino Persi in last year's Hall of Fame Bowl to give Palomar the win." said Martinez. "And calling two no-hitters and a perfect game (no hits and no runs or walks allowed} by Cami Allen for women's softball team."

Other memorable moments include "When I got to call a game with XTRA's Brad Cesmat when he was at Palomar and going to the sportscasters camp and listening to Roy Firestone," commented Martinez. "Just being a part of it felt great"

Las Vegas is a good gamble for students

By Todd Anderson Staff Writer

Todd Anderson/Staff PltotograpMr

The Mirage hotel, an architectural wonder in Las Vegas, is a wonderful place for students to visit and gamble but may be too expensive for them to actually stay there.

Each year, Christmas rushes through local shopping malls, like a hurricane, sweeping up shoppers and their gifts, disposing the purcheses in a cluttered pile in front of millions of carefully decorated Christmas trees. A few wise individuals head for temporary salvation though, when the season turns jolly.

There is an easy way to escape the slamdunk of Christmas cheer, just do what the three wisemen did and follow the brightest star in the desert. From California that would lead you to Las Vegas.

As college students, most of us are limited on income, some more than others, so a trip to a city that seems to offer nothing more than all- night gambling brings a sharp pain to the hand covering the wallet.

"Vegas is too expensive for me," said a Palomar student when presented with a suggestion to go there over the holidays.

This is not always true. There are some things about Las Vegas that are irrefutable.

Things like: Vegas is open all night, gam-

bling is legal in Nevada, and Vegas can be affordable. Christmas time is a "bargain time" to head for the star of the desert.

At this time of year, many people from eastern states are flocking to Las Vegas to enjoy a break from the cold weather and the shopping crunch. However the people that are typically drawn to Vegas at this time of year, tend to stay at an upper- priced hotel, such as Caesars Palace, The Mirage or Bally's, leaving the middle and lowerpriced hotels virtually abandoned.

The middle - priced hotels, such as The Flamingo Hilton and the Imperial Palace, fight to get guests to come to their respective hotels and casinos by offering incredible saving packages to consumers. This can be a real bargain for the middle to low- income individuals, and let's face it we are the latter.

The bargains can be obtained by purchasing a "package deal" from a travel agent A package deal usually includes a flight to Vegas, hotel accommodations, transportation to and from the hotel and two meals a day. The" deal" portion is that the entire cost of the package is usually much lower than if (see VEGAS- page 16)

Spring

By Stacy Alessio

Staff Writer In Jill Timm' s resume it states, "Jill Timm is not satisfied being one woman, she is many. She is an artist, photographer, business woman, teacher , publisher, and an entrepreneur." Now to that list, Timm can add winner of the 1991 Palomar class schedule cover contest.

Timm, who said that she has been interested in art, "Since I was a wee little kid," specializes in serigraphs (which are color prints made by the silk-screen process) and photography, and "Is the creative force behind 'Graphic Ideas,' one of San Diego's more successful design studios."

Timm's winning picture portrays California coastal tidepools, and was taken several years ago. After taking the picture, Timm said she made it into a serigraph, and later she took a picture of it, which won her the contest. Timm said that she is particularly interested in nature photography. "I like to go places where man hasn't destroyed the natural landscape.

Timm has a bachelor's degree in commercial art and is currently studying computer art, "That (computer art) is where the future is at," said Timm. Timm had said that she was going to try and do something on the computer for the contest, but then decided "I did not feel that I was at the level where I could do something good. I'll try and c:to something on the computer for next years contest."

¡ Arts and Entertainment Editor "I was taking pictures one day in the Arboretum, and I happened to shoot some century plants ... I liked the image, I found it exciting, inspiring, and I found it appropriate."

And from that day, Lisa Stockstad' s photographic images of century plants grew into this year's fall schedule cover winner.

Stockstad, a Palomar College iiiustration student since spring of 1989, creates most of her impressionistic art through photographic pictures.

"From pictures that I take or pieces of pictures in a book, I create my own compositions."

Creating from her home, music also inspires her. While designing her current piece, a chalk pastel illustration of saxophone player Charlie Parker, background jazz appears to wail the blues from Parker's horn.

"Music, especially lively music, gives me an energy, and I try to express that in my compositions."

In addition to earning $100 for the Palomar College Cover Contest, Stockstad also freelances. Among her designs are three posters for the "Good Earth" restaurant, the 1992 UCSD medical class T -shirt design, and commissioned portraits. She will also have an oil painting hanging on the wall at the Fishmarket restaurant, in downtown San Diego, when the project is complete.

Stockstad says that the Palomar College Art Department has given her the best background to go forth with, especially with the support of her cover century oil painting. "I was recommended by several art representatives in the illustration field that Palo~ was the place to go," she added.

Would you ever take home a talking bear from "Darkest Peru," that you met minutes earlier in a train station? In this psychotic society, I wouldn't even consider it, unless I had a big-time stun gun. However, that is just what the Browns did in the "Adventures of a Bear Called Paddington."

The Palomar College Performing Arts presented this musical adaptation of the childrens book in a colorfully illustrated performance Sunday.

The curtains first draw open at the "Paddington" train station. Mr. and Mrs. Brown, played by Jason Sutliff and Mary Bright, are anxiously awaiting their daughter Judy's arrival. Judy, (played by Dionne Beeson) who had been shipped off to boarding school, is now returning.

While they were properly waiting, they just happened to find a polite stowaway bear from Darkest Peru with a tag around his neck that said, "Please look after the Bear, thank you." Naturally, like any good-hearted English family, they immediately adopt the thing. They call him Paddington, after the train station.

Paddington (played by Jenny Garcia) of course gratefully accepts the nice offer from the tea-andcrumpet-type people, especially with the promise of his favorite happy food, marmalade. From the

station, the play unfolds into mis-adventures and predictable situations of the bear.

Fortunately, the rest of the ¡ family, which includes the grade school son Jonathan, (played by Ken Anaya) and their housekeeper, Mrs. Bird, (played by Nancy Stanley) all love the humble, yet childishly naive bear, even if he does wear a royal blue overcoat and a red, dopey looking rancher hat, that has to be worn sideways to fit of his fat head.

The play was "kinda cute," but I do believe this is one to take the younger ones to. I tended to get bored of those "beary" cute literal puns, but the play is directed toward the younger audience.

Story by Salvador Marquez It's a fine day for a race-for those who are on time.

Rows upon rows of athletes in wheelchairs block a street that is surrounded by anxious fans. The athletes, wearing the labels of their sponsors, peer through their helmets straight ahead, biceps tensed for the starter's gun.

And here she comes, nervously punching at the wheels for more speed-grabbing the wheels slows her down-as she races downhill to join the others for the start of the race. The crack of the starter's gun is heard while she is still hundreds of yards away.

"No, no, not now," she cries. "Not when I'm so close."

Deanna Sodoma wakes up. She looks at her hands and notices she's not wearing her gloves, thick gloves like those football players have, covered with a sticky black substance.

It is the night before another 10k race, and Sodoma has experienced another of

Photos by Michael Bagstad her to become athletically active.

So she decided to become a long distance bicyclist, of the road racing variety.

But Sodoma wouldn't compete-no way would she enter a race where she was assured last place.

Sodoma credits Machey with turning her life around athletically. It was his influence that helped her stop smoking and that introduced her to the Spartan world of workouts. Though she doesn't see him anymore, Machey is still a friend.

"We're noton that level anymore," said Sodoma, "since I got out of the hospital."

The accident happened quickly in March 1988. While Sodoma was cycling, acarhitherfrom the side. The accident left her with a herniated disk, but she wouldn't stop working out with weights and on her bike.

her regular pre-race nightmares. She falls back to sleep, content it's only a dream.

A dream no more unusual than being a Physical Education teacher, or being labeled other than "handicapped" or "disabled," something she can live with.

Palomar student Sodoma, 23, is a wheelchair distance racer who plans to make her marathon debut in the San Diego Marathon, Dec. 9. For the past year she has competed in lOks and half marathons (which are about 13.1 miles long).

And despite her admitted pre-race jitters, Sodoma is quite successful. Just recently she won the largest of these races, the lOth Oita International Wheelchair Marathon in Japan. Presenting her with the award was no less than the crown prince and princess of Japan.

"It went really well, really friendly," said Sodoma. "Cold hands. I remember they had really cold hands. Royal people probably don't get hot or sweaty."

This all began back when Sodoma was 19, a smoker, out of shape, but standing.

She met Steve Machey, a sprinter who later became her fiance, who encouraged

what she used to.

Sodoma will be in court this coming March to determine whether the driver should pay restitution, but no amount of money can change the fact that Sodoma now sees from a different point of view.

"There's always a pre-injured and there's a post-injured person. And preDeanna was a very outside person, very into physical perfection and beautythat's all that mattered," said Sodoma.

"I didn't have a lot of inner-peace with myself. I don't think I loved myself a whole lot. And it took this, even though it was one of the hardest lessons anyone could have given me, to realize I had to love myself whether I was walking or not walking."

Sodoma is now totally immersed in the racing world. She even has sponsors, Specialized (makers of bike components) and IT (manufacturers of sun glasses and racing gear).

Instant Replay:

By Salvador Marquez Sports Writer

It was apropos that a full moon shone on Dec. 1, when the Palomar College Comets pacified the Antelope Valley College Marauders 28-24 in the Hall of Fame Bowl, at Balboa Stadium in San Diego.

A blocked point after and three failed two point conversions were testimony of the unusual heroics of the Comets special teams, as were the four Marauder turnovers of a strong defensive effort.

"We've got our problems with ourP.A.T'sall season. That aspect of our special teams was really good," said head coach Tom Craft.

Not to discount the offense; a no-huddle pass-happy attack led by quarterback Brett Salisbury, who threw four touchdown passes and completed 15 of 25 for 377 yards in the first half.

"It's been a great year, a great stepping stone for myself," said Salisbury. He will not make a decision on what university to attend next until after Christmas.

Despite a patched up offensive line, the Comets rolled up 54 7 total yards, including a phenomenal day for returning wide receiver Mryon Wise (12 catches, two touchdowns and 329 yards receiving).

Note the previous emphasis on frrst half. Salisbury sprained his ankle with seconds remaining in the frrst half and was benched by Craft for the rest of the game.

Salisbury was replaced by Charles "Choo-Choo" Walker, who nabbed two touchdown passes as a wide receiver but also served as quarterback for the entire second half.

"I thought Choo-Choo did a fine job of leading the team and continuing the momentum at quarterback; throwing the ball and running it," said Craft.

Already on the bench injured were starting left guard Timothy

Odom (broken leg in the Southwestern game) and starting center Dan Lynds (leg injury in the first quarter) ..

Like a shell game, Craft replaced Odom with defensive lineman Tom Winter and Lynds with starting right tackle Rich Rodriguez. Mario Carrizosa started in at right tackle.

Palomar's offense was shaky in the beginning, just like the offensive line. On the first play from scrimmage, from the 31-yard line, a Salisbury lob was picked off by Marauder defensive back John Johnson.

The Comet defense held the Marauders. After a trade-off of punts the Marauders quarterback Marty Washington completed a pass to tight end Thomas Reimer on the Comet 26. On the next play, Comet linebacker Lota Tupolo pounced on a loose ball for the turnover.

One play later Salisbury connected with Wise, who caught the ball midfield and sped through a broken Marauder secondary for a 74- yard touchdown giving the Comets a 7-0 lead.

After the kick-off the Marauders would fumble again on their first play from scrimmage. Palomar cornerback Robbie Fisher recovered the ball at the Marauder 30-yard line.

The Comets culminated the short 30-yard drive with a 13-yard shovel pass to Walker, upping the Comet lead14-0.

But Marauder running back Steve Miller dashed all hopes for a Comet romp on the next series of downs as he rumbled 63-yards down the sideline on an option play to make the score 14-6.

The point after try was blocked

by Fisher, the first of a possible seven points the Comet special teams denied the Marauders.

In the second quarter, with 13:02 remaining until halftime, Palomar had the ball on their 18yard line when Salisbury struck

a 94-yard drive a Ia Joe Montana, featuring a 45-yard pass to Wise, 15 yards to wide receiver Jerry Garret, 11 yards to Wise and finishing with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Walker.

Leading 28-6, with thirty seconds left in the first half, the Comets special teams committed their only lapse of the game as Marauder John Johnson returned the kick-off 72 yards, to make it 28-12.

ButformerColorado University Buffalo defensive lineman Tamasi Amituanai picked off a Washington pass as again the Marauders were denied extra points.

In the second half, the Marauders scored two touchdowns - a 65yard toss to wide receiver David Brown in the third quarter and a 28-yardoption run from Washington. But two more failed conver-

sions kept the Marauders at bay, 28-24.

Walker then led the Comets from their 20-yard line on a final drive that ate the final seven minutesinthegame. Walkerfmished7 of 17 attempts and 108 yards in the air, 42 yards on the ground.

According to -Craft, Walker is the leading candidate for the starting quarterback job. This will be a switch for the Vista High School alum, where the running game is king.

"It doesn't really bother me; run and shoot or just run," said Walker. "It doesn't make any difference because I'll do my best in whatever I do."

"We're going to be right back here (next year)," said Walker.

WOMEN'S SOCCER LOSES AT REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Soccer gets booted out of state playoffs

By Todd Anderson Staf!Writer

half for Palomar with three minutes remaining, sending the game into overtime.

After a winning regular season, the Palomar women's soccer team was booted out of the state championship picture on Nov. 24, because of a loss in the Regional Championship game to El Camino College (E.C.C.).

The lady Comets lost by a score of 3-2 in overtime, in front of a sell-out crowd at Palomar college.

The game was an important one for both teams as the winner goes on to the state championships.

"Both teams played very well," said Henry Sosa, co-head coach for the Palomar team. "El Camino was just physically a stronger and biggerteam,"hesaid. The Comets said that they were not out-played

by E.C.C., but rather they were out-muscled.

"We started to play their game," said Sara Case, starting forward, who scored one of the Comets goals.

"We started kicking the ball as hard as we could in the air, instead of playing the ball on the ground with skill like we normally do."

This was evident throughout the game.

Palomar struck first when len . Van Boom scored a goal in the first half. E.C.C. quickly scored two goals to make the score 2-1.

Then, Case scored in the second

E.C.C. scored early in the first period of overtime for thew inning goal. The Comets were unable to tie the score through the second overtime period.

"We played to our game plan throughout the game," Sosa said, "We scored two good goals, they scored one good goal and two garbage goals."

One of E.C.C. "garbage" goals happened when, Palomar goalie, Stephanie Case stopped a flying ball at the goal line but dropped the ball to the ground, giving a goal to the other team without the ball actually going into the net.

"Soccer is a game of mistakes," Sosasaid, "the team that makes the fewest mistakes wins and as I said before we are just not a lucky team." Sosa said that if Palomar were a lucky team then the outcomeofthis game could have been different.

Sosa and the other co-head coach, Jacques LaDouceur, both said that they were very pleased with their team and the support of the people that came out to watch it. "I was very proud of them," said Sosa, "they did their work (referring to the Comets), but I can't say that the better team won, the

stronger one did."

Most of the Comet players agreed, but conceded that the season is over. "We didn't want the season to end," said Case, "we were having so much fun. I wish that there was soccer practice tomorrow like normal."

Among the hundreds of people

that came to watch the game were scouts from at least six major colleges including Cal State San Bernadino, UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine and Colorado State University.

"I was approached by several of the scouts about many of our

girls," said Sosa, "but not all of the girls will be moving on to four year colleges next year."

Five of Palomar's 11 starters and Coach LaDouceur will be returning for another season with the Comets. The other six players and Coach Sosa will not be return-

Comet grapplers win Southern Regional

By Salvador Marquez Sports Writer

¡ The words on their T -shirts best describe Palomar College's winning wrestling program- "You can't touch this."

The Comets wrestling squad can claim themselves Southern Regional Champions as they emerged first, with 86-points, out of six teams in the Southern Regional Tournament, at the Dome on Nov. 30.

The Comets had nine wrestlers finish in the top four spots in their weight classes.

Those nine will be sent to Cypress College, on Dec. 8, to regain the California State Title won by Fresno College last year.

Comet head coach Roye Oliver said that the state title will be a six-college race between Palomar, Fresno, Lassen, Moorpark, Bakersfield and Cerritos.

Winning their weight classes were 134poundAbraham Sanchez, 142-pound Dusty Harless, 158-pound Richard Freeman, 167pound Eddie Luna and heavyweight Micheal Purnell, a meager180-pound meteor in an universe of giant planets.

Joining them in Cypress will be 190pound Erik Johnson (second place) and third place finishers 150-pound Darryl Brenner, 177-pound Todd Falk and 118pound Kevin Mabry.

Missing from this group is 126-pound Javier Gonzales, who was a state finals hopeful. Gonzales fell to East Los Angles

College grappler Lupe Jimenez in the first round of the consolation bracket "He could have been a big place winner in the state meet," said Oliver. "He lost in the semi-finals by a disappointing one point last year.

He's got the potential to come back and be a state champion in that weight class. ""He's been a big place winner throughout the year.

His loss really hurt us."

Slowly, Cerritos crept back into the match, almost catching the Comets' tail, coming within seven points of a lead (67 -60 3/4) after the third round.

To make things worse, a family emergency forced Todd Falk to focus his thoughts elsewhere. His teammates accepted his third place medal in his stead during the awards ceremony afterwards.

The Comets rallied at the end, placing six in the finals. Crowd favorite Purnell defeated opposition bigger than he, including 260-pound Robert Avila of East Los Angeles College, ranked the second best California wrestler in his class.

"Speed and technique, that's all I used," said Purnell, an unranked heavyweight.

"Coach Roye and coach Joe (Ismay) told me to use speed and be quick on my feet, they won't be used to that. They're used to people going upper body with them, not down on their legs and fast."

Palomar wrestler Todd Falk has the advantage during a match at the California Regional Tournament held at the Palomar Dome. Falk and eight other wrestlers from the Palomar squad will be attending the state meet at Cypress College.

Regardless of what happens at Cypress, the Comet wrestling team will be a force to be dealt with next year. Of the nine going to Cypress, Falk, Freeman, co-captain Harless, Luna and Sanchez will be returning.

"We're good this year, but we'regoing to be twice as good next year," predicted Oliver. "It's going to be an interesting year

But the main part of her regimen are hill repetitions, where Sodoma will race up hills for speed and strength. Sodoma hustles up and down hills starting from Leucadia to Oceanside, in the bicycle lanes where she is more vulnerable than when she was a cyclist "Now, I'm like an alien on the road," said Sodoma. "People stop and shout 'Whoa, what's that.' They don 'tsee too many of me around, that's why I like to be in the public's eye.

"If I get hit again, I'll just sue for more money."

tant, Sodoma insists. She finds it degrading when people avoid her,stand over her without acknowledging she's there, or the other extreme: people running from the other side of a parking lot to help her in her car.

She can drive. And not a van, the vehicle most would think she is limited to. She drives a Mustang.

And she may in the future be featured in a Playboy spread, following the steps ofEllen Stoll (who is also disabled}--not because she desires to be nude before the world, but because she wants to be perceived as an equal.

"Before, I was just a person. Now I'm disabled, handicapped, a victim. I'm all these things that I don't want to be," said Sod om a.

Smol<e (continued from page 3) According to Netzley, the Smokeout has worked before.

"Several people stopped by and said that they had stopped on one of the previous Smokeouts," Netzley said, "and had not gone back."

Heath services had arranged for a computer to be at the student union on Nov. 15 that measures a person Pulmunary Function or lung capacity, and a nurse to take people's blood pressure. Netzley said that people were lined up to have their blood pressure and lung capacity tested.

"The lungs, over time, can heal themselves of most of the damage created by smoking," Netzley said, "except of course when the damage is as extreme as emphysema." Some of the pamphlets handed out listed such statistics as 75 percent of lung cancers among women are caused by smoking and

Friday, December 7, I 990 that smoking has replaced breast cancer as the leading cause of death among women. Another piece of information stated that "over 35 million Americans have quit smoking, so can you."

"There was a lot of people who stopped by and really wanted to quit," said Netzley, "and a lot that have friends who want to quit."

Health Services also offered an "Adopt a Smoker" program for those smokers who needed a friend to help them along on their first day without smoking.

The information that was handed out at the student union by Health Services included statistics on smoking related deaths, the effects of chewing tobacco and the over looked danger and effects of second hand smoke (the smoked breathed by a non-smoker when in the same room as a person smoking). Netzley said thatallthe information handed out during the Smokeout is always available at Heath Services, along with information about clinics and support groups to help people quit smoking.

Cart helps in emergencies

By Jennifer Garrett Staff Writer

You arc driving your car out of the Palomar College parking lot.

Suddenly, you sec a driver accidentally hit a student who has run in front of their car. The student is injured. What do you do?

Student Health Services can help with this situation. If notified of an emergency, nurses will drive

a special medical cartanywhere on the Palomar College campus to help out with injuries.

Emergencies that Student Health Services has handled include athletic injuries, fractures, lacerations, some cardiac arrests, one woman in premature labor, car accidents and seizures.

The cart is used solely for unexpected and serious accidents such as these.

Vegas (continued from page 9) the items were purchased separately. How good are these deals?

If you were reserve a room at the Imperial Palace it may cost about S75 a night, versus $45 a night if you had bought a package. That's $30 a night you could spend on a very nice dinner or a night of gambling.

Once in Vegas you will notice that almost every place has at least a slot machine on the premises, even the local McDonalds'. But some of the more popular place's tend to be the more exotic and cost more. Caesar's Palace is the classiest place in town, with it almost gaudy presentation of gold and marble not seen since the time of Caesar himself. For years Caesar's Palace has stood as the ultimate representation of the Las Vegas lifestyle, a place once only the stars hung out at, now it entices anybody to pass through its golden gates.

"We do offer something for everybody," said Anthony Phillips, a table manager at Caesars Palace. "There is over 5,000 slot machines that play either nickel's, quarters or dollars. There are 100's of tables that offer everything from Black Jack to Red Dog to Roulclle," he said, "there's even ourS 1,000 minimum bet Bacarac table, for the high roller."

The smell of money and class pour out of the gates at Caesars Palace, however money is a universal language and all you need is a few bucks to speak the tongue.

If as college students you were to either ask a relative for a trip to

Vegas as a present or if you were to treat yourself, the best thing to do is to save your money and purchase your trip through a travel agent, who are the only one's that offer the "package deals".

Bring a nice outfit to Vegas, guys maybe a suit if you have one and ladies an outfit guaranteed to tum heads will work. You need to remember that you will be among the rich and just like the old saying goes "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

There is plenty to do in Vegas, besides just gambling. During the day there are several interesting sites to see. Just 15 minutes out of town is Hoover Dam, built in the 1930's it is an engineering masterpiece. Or you can check any of the live animal shows put on at The Mirage hotel.

The mirage offers daily performances of five of only twelve remaining white tigers in the world. The show is put on by the world famous Siegfried and Roy animal trainers. While at the same hotel, you can also see daily dol-

+

phin performances that match the best Sea World has to offer.

At night there is an abundance of things one can do. There are several shows thatareputon in almost every hotel that is located on the strip. There are comedy shows featuring stars like Bill Cosby or Billy Crystal, there are Vaudeville style show like the ones found at The Tropicana or the Flamingo Hilton, and of course there are semi-nude shows that are put on with all the glamour and taste one would expect to find on Broadway. Besides the shows there is all night dancing and dining not to mention the strip itself, which is more colorfully lit with lights all year long than New York City at Christmas time.

So Las Vegas can be affordable and offers something for everybody. What really makes Las Vegas relaxing is the atmosphere it creates around itself. Everybody who comes here is treated as nicely as Caesar himself, which means when you return home you feel as good as if you had won a fortune.
