rally b·rings out differing views on the Persian Gulf War By Laura WOQJfrey Staff Writer
"Think what that is doing to our environment." Arnold said he believes that there could have been a peaceful solution. "It's the rednecks that want to go over and kick ass," he said. During the rally, Perdue gave detailed instructions on how to avoid the draft. She also encouraged staffand students to ignore the draft notices received in the mail. Many members of the audience expressed discontent, sayingthat the speakers were unprepared for the rally. ''Their arguments are obviously weak," said student Rochell Bemsdorf. uThey sound really young and uneducated."

Director of the Global Awareness Committee, Leatta Perdue, said that discrimination nearly curtailed efforts to rally support for the anti-war effort, and if it happens again, she will take legal action against Palomar College. Perdue said she requested a table and chairs from Student Services so that the Global Awareness Committee could display literature with "peaceful overtones." However, Perdue said that Secretary of Student Services, Marilyn Lunde, informed her that there was a I 0day waiting period. Perdue said that she thinks that this was simply a roadblock thrown by Lunde and Director of Student Services Jim Bowen. "It (the 10-day waiting period) is made up. It is not even written anywhere," said Perdue. Bowen said that there is a document which states that there be a 10-day waiting period and that it was drawn up in order to avoid conflict with other scheduled tables. "There are 25,000 students and 20 clubs on campus, you can't just come in on a whim and demand a table," said Bowen. Bowen said that he feels that the Global Awareness Committee could have benefited from the extra preparation time to attract a bigger crowd.
However, Bowen said he complied with Perdue's request before the preferred waiting period ended because there were no conflicting events. Permission was granted to set up the anti-war display within a week's time, according to Bowen. Perdue said that Bowen was attempting to infringe on her right to free speech when he inquired about the nature of the literature to be displayed. Perdue said that because she and Bowen have opposing points of view that her efforts to protest the war were intentionally delayed. Bowen denies these allegations, stating that there is absolutely no discrimination involved. "We support the rights of the students and we follow policy," said Bowen. The Speaker Policy for Palomar states, "A college has the responsibility to develop informed, critical and objective thinking. Such thinking can best be encouraged in an atmosphere assuring free interchange of ideas." Perdue said that she is represented by an attorney from the American Civil Liberties Union. "The ACLU is just waiting to nail Palomar," said Perdue. ·'Palomar has been doing this type of thing for 25 years." Bowen said that he is not aware of any previous act of discrimination on campus and said that he encourages students to freely express their opinions.
Administration building closed due to asbestos By Darren Ane Staff Writer Most people will remember where they were on Jan. 16, the day the war in the Persian Gulf started, but for employees in the STAA building, it will stand out for another reason as well. It was the day that potentially dangerous asbestos was discovered in the building. While a routine roofing project was being done, workers discovered a sign stating that asbestos was present.
The following day, after results came back on the inspection, the work was temporarily stopped and employees working in the building were asked to go home until they were notified to return. Bryant Guy, contracts director, and Dr. Pheobe Helm, Interim vice-president of instruction, made the decision to evacuate the building until a qualified crew removed the asbestos. The evacuation lasted two days and the removal went on through the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend.

A WAR OF A DIFFERENT SORT· Nearly 5,000 ants perished in a skermish with a Palomar College custodian. Apparently Telescope staff members did not clean up after themselves too well, which attracted the hungry batallion.The custodian's letter of frustration was rebutted with a somewhat threatening note left by ''The Ants." No other outbreaks of hostility between the two were reported.
Upbeat 'State of the College' report unveiled Two weeks ago, Dr. George Boggs, superintendent/president of Palomar College, released the annual "State of the College" report. The 22-page report, described as "upbeat" and full of "sunshine," detailed numerous staff and studP.ntaccomplishments and outlined a "vision statement" for the college's future. "As long as we keep our sights set on what we want to be, and work towards the goals we set, we can weather both the storms and the sunshine," Boggs wrote in the report. Some of the "sunshine" points outlined include: •Consecutive semester enrollment surpassing 25,000 students. •Opening of the new Escondido Education center. •Recent re-accreditation of the college's educational programs for the maximum time period of six years. •Student awards and achievements in journalism, speech, athletics, nursing, photography, cabinetmaking and dental assisting. Also outlined were the new computerized registration system, the $60 million economic impact that Palomar has on the local communities, ground breaking for an employer-sponsored child care center in La Costa Meadows Industrial Park and the remodeling of the bookstore. Two of the storms Boggs identified were the defeat in November of a state-wide bond issue that would have funded several building improvements on the main campus. The second storm is the governor's tightened budget proposal for 1991-92, which will cut certain state funding and increase the tuition fees at community colleges from $5 per unit to $6. Boggs, still holding to his optimism, said "despite all of this uncertainty, there is hope. During periods of a weakened economy, community colleges have been relied upon to retrain and educate the unemployed."
Extra Club Day 'springs up' to attract students On Wednesday, Feb. 13, and Thursday, Feb. 14, the Inter-Club Council (ICC) will be presenting Spring Club Days in the Student Union. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., participating clubs will have booths set up and will be trying to recruit new members. Some club members will be handing out literature describing their club and its activities. Palomar's radio station, NEO 99, will be on hand playing "a little bit of everything," said Jim Bloom, the station's promotional manager, "whatever people want to hear."

Workers scale the Dome as they perform routine maintainence on it's roof. Other buildings on campus also received maintainence. According to Jim Bowen, director of Student Activities, Club Day last year was disappointing due to a lack of student interest. He is hopeful that having two consecutive Club Days this year will draw more participation from students that do not come to school on certain days of the week because of their schedules. "The first day will get into the mood of it. Hopefully, the students will notice us," said Denny Ngo, the chairperson of the ICC, "the second day will be more involved." For more information about Spring Club Days, contact the ICC at744-1150 ext.2667.
ROTC program offered to Palorncr students The Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AFROTC) offers a program for students who attend Palomar College. Through an agreement with SDSU, Palomar students can enroll in the 4-year AFROTC program by registering through SDSU's College of Extended Studies. The AFROTC consists of two programs: the General Military Course (GMC) and the Professional Officer Course (POC). The GMC is taken during the freshman and sophomore years, and teaches cadets about Air Force customs and regulations, through a Leadership Laboratory. The POC follows the G MC program and offers courses concentrating on leadership and management. Participating students will receive college credit for AFROTC courses and labs. More information may be obtained by contacting Capt. Cheryl Junker at 5941098.

Impending 'fiscal crisis' will impact Palomar Cutbacks seen in college's future as a result By Bryon Roberts
Staff Writer The recession will have a direct impact on Palomar, according to Palomar College Superintendent/ President Dr. George Boggs. "I feel like General Schwarzkopf,'' said Boggs last week to The Telescope staff, describing his having to rally the Palomar "troops" to fight on in the face of an economic downturn. Citing Gov. Pete Wilson's proposal for the state budget, Boggs said that California is confronting a "fiscal crisis" in which funds may fall short by $800 million this year and as much as $10 billion in 1992. "We're going to have to live through at least one lean year," Boggs predicted. "If it (the recession) is long-lasting, the state will be down and we'II be hurt." He said that as "good news" there would be "no suspensions or
layoff," and as "bad news" there would be "no salary increases this year. "Our funding is primarily state, and state-controiled," Boggs said. Palomar College, like other educational institutions protected by Proposition 98, would not suffer the same cutbacks as other statefunded programs. But the state plans to suspend Prop. 98 for one year, possibly longer if the recession continues to deepen, according to Boggs. Palomar is growing. With a record-high student enroilment of over 25,000 and an expected 26,000-plus when late enrollment is closed this semester, Palomar rates in the "top 20 to 25 coiieges in the country" in terms of numbers of students, according to Boggs. The coiiege has also one of the largest districts with 250 square miles. Plans are underway for more sateiiite campuses in Poway, Ramona and Fallbrook. Boggs
caiied Palomar's new Escondido Center an "overnight success," citing its first year enroiiment of 4,000. "We are paid at an incremental rate which is less than the growth," explained Boggs, going on to say that the state's viewpoint is: "We can always crowd a few more students into the classes." Commenting on the state's unexpected decision to charge Palomar Coiiege for $290,000 in property tax coiiection, which Palomar did not budget for in 1991, Boggs said, "We won't pay it unless forced to pay it. They did it to balance the budget. "We would like to be less dependent on the state," he added, announcing that there is an "aggressive campaign to raise money from private sources." With the campaign kickoff in Rancho Bernardo last month, $44,000 of the 1991 goal of $125,000 has already been reached.

The Associated Student Government is again serving students with a fuii house. The last two vacant Associated Student Government senatorial seats were fiiied Jan. 30 with the election of Garrett Whitehead and Jennifer Thies. These seats were open as a result of the resignations of Senators Angela Snedeker and H. Michelle Futami. "I've gotten a lot out of Palomar and I want to return something," said Thies addressing the voting members of the ASG. Thies and Whitehead were voted into their new positions following a presentation detailing their aspirations for Palomar. "I feel happy about being elected because I think that I can bring students in closer contact with the student government so that we can have a better mutual relationship," said Whitehead. Whitehead said that he feels there is a lack of information available to students about student government, which is detrimental to
both parties. "I've talked to students and they are dissatisfied with the government because they don't know much about it," said Whitehead. To help aiieviate this communication problem, Whitehead volunteered to chair a public relations committee. With this position, Whitehead said that he will attempt to make students more aware of what the ASG is and how the institution can benefit the students. Thies said that her major concerns lie in the environmental issues. "I want to help the school become more environmentaily aware and get involved in recycling and car pooling," said Thies. As a result of her concerns, Thies said she wiii be chairing the ASG' s campus beautification committee. Whitehead and Thies were elected just last week, but their positions will be open again during the second week of May along with seats held by Senators Eric Johnson, Massimo Bordi and members of the ASG's executive branch, which includes the offices of president and vice president.

Teamwork and practice keep things from boiling over at Palomar's cafeteria By Amelia Bowles Feature Editor
Eve Borrego (top right) smiles and points her finger to a customer as she hollers, ''Next!" Valentina Henkle (above) is busy at work on the line in the Palomar College cafeteria.
Dawn. The sun is peeking over the hill, its rays just beginning to touch the uppermost tops of a few campus buildings. In one of these buildings three women chatter as loudly as the morning song birds. It's 6 a.m. and Palomar's line cooks are busy preparing for the onslaught of hungry morning students and staff seeking breakfast. Valentina Henkle, Eve Borrego and Aureli-a Avila arc the main cooks at Palomar's cafeteria and they greet each day with the same enthusiasm as the last one. "The students have a great sense of humor and they make my day a happy one,'' says Borrego. Then Henkle, with her gray hair tucked under a white cap, and 10 years of experience as a Palomar line cook, proceeds to tell what it was like when she first came here. "The cafeteria was very primitive back then. The quarters were cramped and we had to prepare both Mexican and American food," she recalls. "The cafeteria was very poorly lit and it wasn't an appealing place to work or eat in,'' she adds. "Now,'' she says, "the cafeteria has improved a lot since it was remodeled in the summer of 1989. It's definitely much brighter in here and that makes my job easier." During the remodeling phase, the distribution of food was also divided. By selling space in the main dining room to independent restaurants, such as the new Mexican restaurant, Pepe' s, the heavy burden of preparing all the food has ended. Now the cooks just offer standard American fare like hamburgers and deli sandwiches, along with a special hot lunch each day. The lunch time rush has now begun. Students and faculty stampede into the cafeteria. They arc hungry and in a rush. Henkle, Borrego and Avila are now working at full speed. "Cheeseburger and fries,'' hollers Borrego to Avila, who in tum hollers the order to Henkle. Henkle, who is now head cook, no sooner slaps the meat and cheese on the grill when another order comes down the line. "It takes experience, voice and backup to keep the orders consistent,'' says Avila, who has worked on the line for only a year. ''I'm the baby here, but I've worked in the main kitchen for nine years,"
"Glad to sec you back this semester.'' "Thanks,'' replies the student, smiling. Borrego, who has worked here for four years, added that vegiburgers, hamburgers and cheeseburgers arc the students' favorites for lunch. "The lunch rush is really hectic, so orders sometimes get dropped on the floor. So we just walk around it until we have time to clean it up," says Borrego laughing. And, adds Avila, "hope the boss doesn't find out." As the lunch crowd thins, the three women begin to slow down, chatting and laughing with each other and other members of the cafeteria crew. It's now 1:30 p.m. and they have only an hour left on their shift. The three finally sit down, after having tom down the salad bars and restocked the grills for the evening students. They show no evidence of being tired. However, Borrego adds that "once we sit down, we don't get up." Avila, with a twinkle in her eye, smiles and agrees with a nod of her head. "We don't think about being tired, as the people here at school arc the best part of working here. They arc so enjoyable, friendly and nice, that it's a joy to work here."
Does the supernatural really exist? By ChrisS. MacPhail Staff Writer One dark and stormy night, the wind whipping through the craggy mountains, a lone car weaves along Del Dios Highway. The driver, a young girl, is exhausted after spending an evening working as a hostess in a local Solana Beach restaurant. She thinks about the night, her classes the next day, but mostly she yearns for her warm bed. With the radio on as background noise and yet another curve to negotiate, she suddenly falls asleep at the wheel. Chrissy, a bubbly blonde, is a 20-year-old Palomar College student. Her outgoing personality is accented by dark eyes, which widen as she recalls the night. "The weird thing is that I had never fallen asleep at the wheel, and you can bet I haven't done it since," she said. While twisting her hair with her fingers she adds, "Really, I'm too afraid to drive when I'm tired now and I sure don't wantthat dream again." Chrissy has had what is claimed to be a supernatural experience. It was this" at the wheel'' dream she feels saved her life. "In the dream I see my car driving on Del Dios, I see myself driving as if I'm watching from above. Then I see the car heading into a curve and straight over the edge and into what looks like giant hands. They are over 10 stories high and are raised as if in prayer.'' She takes a breath and continues,"If I were really reli-
gious I could make some sense of all of this. Would you tell someone you saw the hands of God, and it scared you so much, even in a dream, that you woke up?" Chrissy awakened just in time to prevent a fatal accident. "I was a second away from going over, and I have no idea how long I had been driving Del Dios with my eyes closed." The problem of how to explain the unexplainable has plagued Chrissy and other people. What is real and what do we create? Within an academic world, students, and even teachers, may have no outlet of expression when unexplainable events occur. Mark Vernoy, a teacher at Palomar, offers his opinion. As one of the authors of "Psychology in Action," he points out that there are several major theories about dreams from scientists engaged in ¡dream research, as well as a Freudian theory. According to Vernoy, Freud believed dreams tell you about the unconscious mind. But, the dreams dido' t tell you directly about the mind instead they use symbols, which then need to be explaineJ. Another theory explained in Vernoys book is activation-synthesis, where the brain recognizes that dreams have no real significance, but in fact are unimportant by-products of the stimulation of the brain. Chrissy ¡believes that this theory managed to save her from going 10ver a cliff. She said, "I will never know if it was God or if my mind was playing tricks. You know, to wake me up." Chrissy concluded with," I'm just glad I did."
Vcmoy believes weird happenings arc garbage. "I don't believe any of it,'' he said. "There's absolutely no scientific evidence for any of that stuff.'' Yet Vcrnoy has had his own supernatural experience. "I predictated a plane crash once in one of my classes." He told his students a plane would crash near water and it would have red in the tail logo. The next day one crashed in Long Island. But Vcrnoy still discounted the supernatural. "If I say a plane is going to crash near water, well statistically that's where planes crash." Most people, at one time or another, have pondered the question of reality within the universe. Do unusual and mysterious situations actually happen? According to a Spanish teacher at Palomar, Eduardo Peixoto, they do. He says that it's importantto be able to at least talk about things without being called crazy. "These things do happen with some regularity," he said. "Maybe an informal forum would be helpful to some people." However, he admits, "I don't attempt to be able to explain any of it; I just accept that it happens." Chrissy has encountered a life experience that most people cannot relate to or understand. Chrissy, not wanting others to think she was strange for talking of her "weird" night went as far as protecting her identity. Was her experience supernatural? You be the judge.

Protesters march on the blind path of ignorance
fh~ NtNf£fit7o ~~~'
By Stacy Alessio Staff Writer I do not like war, and I certainly never thought that I would see one in my lifetime. But now that the nightmare has become a reality, it is time to accept the situation for what it is: an unfortunate necessity. Now we must learn to deal with the atrocities of war: uncertainty, death and protesters.
The biggest problem I have with protesters is that, although they feel it is their place to make a scene and scream about the war, they have no alternative solutions. For example, when asked what they would have done in President Bush's position, one protester said that she did not know , but she would "not have a war for goodness sake!" We do have the right to both freedom of speech and peaceful protest, but please do us all a favor- if you do not have a better solution, keep your mouth closed. Other protesters have said that they do not believe we thoroughly exhausted diplomacy before we engaged in war. Do these people live in a cave? Not only did the United States send Secretary ofStateJamcs Baker to try and resolve the situation, but leaders from Great Britian, the Soviet Union and many other countries also tried. For over five months, we tried to talk this out, but there comes a time when words do not cut it and action must be taken. Many protesters are not even fully awareoftheissuesin the gulf. These are the protesters who carry the signs reading, "No Blood For Oil." While oil may be part of the problem at hand, there is much more to it. How can we sit back and watch as a hostile country like Iraq ruthlessly takes over the peaceful nation of Kuwait. That is like turning your head while a helpless women screams rape. Even more importantly, we are not only protecting Kuwait, but ourselves as well. It is no secret that the Iraqi nation believes Westerners to be the infidels, and would like nothing more than to see us in ruins. Saddam Hussein is a tyrant who must be taken care of before he possesses the nuclear capability to fulfill his real dream-destroying the United States. Then we have those who protest the war on behalf of"the innocent men and women serving in the Gulf." There has not been a draft yet. These people have volunteered. In fact, of the enlisted men I have talked to that have not been deployed to the Middle East, many wish they were there. These brave men and women have a job to do, and are well trained to do it. Nobody in their right mind likes war, but sometimes in order to achieve peace, war is necessary. Instead of whining about it, lets get out there and support our troops.

Everyone loves a good film-war Americans are addicted to many things-drugs, credit cards, the automobile, cigarettes, guns. These national compulsions create havoc both in our broad cultural values and in our personal daily behavior. But the deeper and even more ingrained problem is our addiction to conflict. This may have to do with our constant exposure to dramatic presentations on television and in the movies. Conflict is basic to the structure of every story, fiction or nonfiction, that we watch. It gives definition to drama. From Shakespeare to Cheers, the story elements are the sameearly on, there is a presentation of the conflict, then the working out of its resolution. A story about a child watching her dog at play is not drama; when the hulking man from the dog pound arrives, you have a story. This literary principle creates the interest and delight we find in drama. Butourmodern behavior habits-the average American watches TV well over four hours a day-mean that weare emotionallyinvolved with a continuous string of conflicts, each demanding that we take sides and see it through to its resolution. The sheer volume of these daily vicarious experiences with the external and psychological conflicts shapes our basic attitudes toward what we expect of life. Almost everything we watch, from game shows to sporting events to sitcoms, is presented in a context of exaggerated tension and conflict. The best commercials all have that hook-she has never been able to find the right coffee for him, can this be it?! In times before our immersion in mass media, a person's sense of conflict was a different degree and kind. The farmer had his slow, lifelong argument with the weather; the bricklayer fought his boss. But these were tangible and real life issues. Today we are conditioned and addicted to the emotional charge that conflict brings us. The more graphic, the more_intense, the better-it's a physical rush. The stage that we set for ourselves in responding to the Iraq invasion is the ultimate "high" in feeding our conflict compulsion. The world is literally in a frenzy.

It doesn't take a political scientist to observe the constant pattern of this conflict addiction in the last 50 years. Each year, each month even, seemed to bring a new dilemma. As a background, the Cold War created a ready and continuing scenario for conflicts. The focus shifted with merry-goround predictability from Berlin to Cuba, Vietnam, Angola, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, and Grenada. The drama was
Guest Editorial Richard Peacock driven on by television's live coverage, proving that it was all real, and politicians were cast in all the appropriate roles in each new crisis. Elaborate spy networks became romantic subplots and grim government military experts painted a doomsday setting of nuclear missiles ready to zap the other side at a moment's notice. Apart from the cold war dilemma, we entered into the Mid-East conflict in Lebanon and Libya, while fighting phantom terrorists at airports and on the high seas. And when traditional wars failed to excite us enough, last year featured a War On Drugs. We were about to blockade Columbia but decided to invade Panama instead and capture the season's designated satanic head of state. Of course the roots of the problem in the drug wars were actually closer to home, involving a mix of both inner city and suburban decay, butaswithany addict, we refused to seeourownrank behavior and blamed the other guy. Now suddenly we have really first rate drama-war with Iraq, complete with a countdown. It is a true media phenomenon, with the exact nature of the conflict detailed and updated every hour on CNN. The resolution of the conflict is not yet clear, but one suspects that the pageantry of the enthronement of the Emir and his family to their rightful place will not sit well with some of the audiences (especially the casualties). But like all stories, it will eventually bore most of us and we will need another fix next season to fill that hollow craving.

just the Pollyanna look; you must understand the costs of war. But I don't believe it should be exploited to sway public opinion."
By Jennifer London Staff Writer The war in the Gulf is a news reporter's dream. The chance to tell the American people back home what is really happening to our troops in the Middle East is like being left alone in a candy store when you are a child. But what happens to the news before we actually see or hear it? Are we really seeing or hearing all the facts, or has the news been tainted so that we are only being told news that has been regurgitated by the government? The government is censoring the news concerning Operation Desert Storm, and this goes against everything this country stands for. Since we are not over there actively participating in the war, we have a right to be informed about what is really going on with our troops, not what the government wants us to know. When we sit down each night and watch CNN, it is a scary thought to know that there may be other aspects about the war that we are not being told. People are risking and losing their lives, and the government is deciding what they want to tell us. The whole concept of censorship is absurd because no matter what the government "officially" tells the public, our troops are still dying, and censorship is not going to change anything. _ I am not denying that war is a gruesome,
bloody affair, but censoring the news that develops from the war is not going to make it any less gruesome or bloody. It will only postpone what will eventually be told by the troops once they return home. Is the government going to sit all the troops down in a room when they return home and dictate what they are allowed to say or not say? Obviously not. So why is the government attempting to do it now? The censorship of the news has gone to such an extreme that one American reporter had to publicly apologize to the Imqi government for reporting the news before it was scanned by its government officials. Does it make any sense that this man was forced to apologize to our enemy because they had not given the O.K. to report the news as it happened? Any trueblooded American would feel violated by these actions. The last thing we want on our hands is another Vietnam trauma, where years later the truth about the war came back to haunt us. This is America, land of the free, so we should be free to make our own decisions about what we want to see or hear. It is very simple. If you don't want to hear what the news reporter is broadcasting, then turn off the TV or change the radio station. What the government elects to censor and keep from the public now will be heard sometime in the future. They can't hide what is really going on in the Middle East forever.

Palomar's Vocational Education and Applied Arts Division is holding Vocational Week Feb. 10-15. The week is dedicated to bringing about student awareness of a variety of vocational programs. Among those programs is Palomar's welding department, which has a newly renovated facility, and was the site of a special demonstration Jan. 31 by George Popyack of San Diego Welding Supply. According to LuAnn Poulsen, dean of vocational education and applied arts, Palomar's welding program is one of the finest in the Western United States. It is also the only one in the county. Vocational programs include select interest classes, certificate programs or associate degrees. Courses taken through the Vocational Education Department are geared to making the student "street-ready" and "job wise." "Not all students are cutout for a four year school, or they need to earn a living while attending college," said Poulsen.

Gallagher talks diabetes By Hank Tritchka
Staff Writer After hiding his disease for 17 years, diabetic Pat Gallagher did the unthinkable; he took it to the air waves with a talk show titled "Living with Diabetes." His radio program, which airs at 10 a.m. Saturdays on KCEO-AM 1000, is now syndicated to 48 stations nationwide. A radio student at Palomar in 1973, Gallagher helped set up KKSM, the college radio station. Today, the station, better known as Neo 99, is considered by many in the field one of the most successful of its kind. From there he went on to work at other radio stations including XTRA, 91XandKMLO.Itwasat news station XTRA that Gallagher met his second wife Judy, who after finding out that he had diabetes, enrolled in a diabetes education class. Gallagher, who still did not know much about his disease, decided to go with her. "Before this class I had never met and talked to other people with
diabetes," said Gallagher. It was definately a positive experience, he said, because he learned that others were coping and living a normal life. He decided what diabetics needed was positive, informative education, and that a talk show just might be the answer. He presented his idea to KCEO, and though they were skeptical about the number of listeners the show would attract, it aired Oct. 29, 1988. His wife and he continued to work at other radio stations to make fmancial ends meet, but after aggressively gathering advertising, they were able to work on the show full time. After two months on the air, the program started getting calls from all over the country. " A lot of callers," said Gallagher, " are just like I had been. They hardly know anything about diabetes or what to do." He added that people often receive vague or improper instructions from their doctors. To address this need, Gallagher features diabetes specialists and diabetic celebrities to answer questions

"We keep a very positive approach on this program," said Gallagher, "and let people know that they can do anything if they learn to properly monitor and control their blood sugar." Diabetes is a disease in which the body cannot properly monitor the amount of blood sugar that is needed. "It is not just taking pills," I said Gallagher, "it's a balancing act. Everything that you eat, you have to compensate for." He pointed out that 300,000 diabetics will die this year, largely due to the fact that they don't watch their blood sugar. Gallagher says that it is also important to correct the fallacies about diabetes common! y accepted by society. He says that even Hollywood is guilty of such myths, citing the recent movie "Steel Magnolias." "In this movie we see that if a diabetic girl wants to have a baby, she will die," said Gallagher. "The truth is that pregnancy actually helps diabetic women and improves their kidneys," he said. Radio is not the only medium which Gallagher uses to educate

Comet guard Nicholas Gebler (12) pressures Southwestern College's Shine Rinner (32) as Comet forward Mark Buras (42) waits for the steal during a disappointing 80-67 loss on Feb. 1.

Nothing is more deflating than class cancellations. That tell-tale yellow sheet on the classroom door laughs at our worries toreplace therequirement that was cancelled. Yeah, yeah, I know: what is this tirade doing in a sports column? Starting to sound like Andy Rooney am I? There's a reason. In contrast to the cliche, community college athletic programs don't have the cash to coddle their athletes. More than half of Palomar's athletes have to juggle work with workouts. So when Comet athletes leave a team (a class) for bucks, it smacks of irony. The media constantly bombards us with stories of big athletic programsyou know the ones - bribing recruits to play for its university and maybe attend the classes. Show up for class, why coach? However, this isn't Kansas University, Toto, and Palomar can't even match the funds the Jayhawks waste on recruiting "student-athletes." Sports facilities at these schools show what a community can do. Community College teams will disintegrate if enough members are swayed bypart-timeorfull-time jobs. Budget cuts, you know. Empty stands are testament to the barren, cold environment most community college athletes face. How fitting is the lack of noise from the seats in a place lacking space and money for the teams they present. While we're on the topic, it's truly sad when the

and there simply would not be enough space. This is almost like saying it's a state mandate to protect resident students and district taxpayers," said Backart. Though tuition increases have the potential to cause tension, Backart said that the students are usually understanding.

ate danger to people in the area but has the potential to become friable by some form of disruption to the material. According to Ellis, asbestos was used for many years in floor tiles, walls and ceilings because of its durability, fire safeness, and low cost. Years later it was discovered that asbestos was indeed a cancercausing material and is no longer used in construction. California law requires immediate asbestos removal only in school systems that have grades kindergarten through 12. Community colleges and universities are not required to have immediate removal plans, leaving the burden of the decision to the individual school. According to Ellis, asbestos removal has been done on this campus for about four years. He also says that it is a project that will probably never be given a finish date because, "As long as there will be renovations and improvements being done on this campus, there will be asbestos to be removed.''

Corrections/ clarifications ·Due to erroneous information obtained by The Telescope, the Persian Gulf timeline on the front page of our last issue said that French forces sunk an Iraqi minelaying ship on Jan. 24. It was later verified that American forces had taken the action. •Due to oversights made during the editing of two stories in our last issue, the first names of two people were omitted. In the story concerning resignations in the student government, the person referred to only as "Nix" is Associated Student Government President Sean Nix. In the story about an alumnus who donated $25,000 in scholarship money to the college, the person referred to only as "Berkey" is former Palomar student Bernard Berkey. •In the Dec. 7 edition of The Telescope, Student Activities Director Jim Bowen was misquoted in the story concerning Comet Week and Homecoming. In refernce to his outlook for this year's Mayfair, the quote should have read, "Mayfair should be good. They're thinking about it now, which is a good time to think about it." The Telescope apologizes for these errors.
Now you can afford to dream in color. If you thought that finding a color Apple introduces the .\Iacintosh LC. Macintosh~ system you could afford was just a dream, then the ne\\; affordable Macintosh LC is a dream come true. The Macintosh LC is rich tn color. Unlike many computers that can display only 16 colors at once, the Macintosh LC expands your palette to 256 colors. It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds. Like e\'ery Macintosh computer, the LC is easy to set up and easy to master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the same, consistent way-so once you've learned one program, you're well on your way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets you share information with someone who uses a different type of computer-thanks to the versatile Apple SuperDrive~ which can read from and wtite to Macintosh, MS-DOS, OS 2, and Apple II floppy disks. . Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you. Then pinch yourself. It's better than a dream-it's a Macintosh.
