Palomar feels effects of local water crisis

By Jennifer London Staff Writer The water district that serves Palomar voted on Tuesday to institute a Stage 5 drought alert beginning March 1.

Palomar has just started to feel the effects of the water crisis, according to Mike Ellis, buildings and grounds director, and if serious campus-wide action is not taken soon, Palomar could face financial penalties.

Ellis said "the first step to reducing our

water consumption is to educate the students." Many students are not aware that the drought affects the College and other large institutions and therefore do not conserve water when they are on campus, according to Ellis.

This month Palomar was allotted 2.6 million gallons of water by the Vallecitos water district before any penalties are issued. A Stage 3 alert went into effect Feb. 1, requiring the school to cut back water usage by 15 percent. The use of anything over and above

that amount will result in Palomar being fined three times the amount that was consumed. This could cost the school $3,100 per month for the additional water used.

Palomar has already taken some steps to cut back water consumption by installing low-flow shower heads in the locker rooms, and only running the irrigation system twice a week instead of everyday. Some community colleges have already turned off their showers in response to the drought.

Assistant General Manager of the Vallecitos Water District, Mary Clinkscales, said," when we move into a Stage 5 alert, water use must be reduced by 30 percent and this will have a great impact on Palomar."

Ellis says the school hopes to avoid paying any penalties by adhering to the Stage 5 water conservation ordinance, but cautions that can only happen "if we can get everybody using water wisely, then we should should not face any penalties."

Campus Patrol faces budget problems

By Todd Anderson Campus Beat Editor To make ends meet, Campus Patrol has requested $40,000 be transferred to its account to continue service until the end of the year.

With the opening of the Escondido Center, Campus Patrol was forced to hire additional staff.

"Paying for Escondido (Campus Patrol) depleted my money," said Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd Mahan. Because of this, and other unforeseen expenses, the budget is running low. Without an infusion of funds, it will be forced to shut down at the end of April, according to Mahan. Mahan said that his current budget is the same amount of money he received for fiscal year 1988-1989.

A pay raise in January 1990 for hourly workers at Palomar has put a significant strain on the Campus Patrol budget. A 20 percent raise resulted in costing Campus Patrol an additional $5,000 a year to operate.

Campus Patrol pays for its expenses of about

$150,000 a year through two accounts. Half of all the costs for Campus Patrol come from the sale of parking stickers and the other palf comes from the money collected for parking tickets. It costs about $5,000 a month just for Campus Patrol salaries, and as of last week there was a little over $9,000 left.

Campus Patrol has already begun cutting back three to five hours per week on each officer's hours, in an attempt to make the funds last as long as possible. Mahan said he feels that this won't be enough to make it until the end of the fiscal year, June 30.

"I might be able to make it through the year," Mahan said jokingly, "if my guys were to take a I 0 percent cut in pay."

To help raise additional funds next year, Mahan has made recommendations to explore possibilities such as increasing parking sticker prices, increasing fines for citations and installing parking meters.

After commissioning several studies, implementing new changes and spending more than $30,000, the Palomar College Administration is still trying to solve the ongoing health problems felt by library staff.

Dr. George Boggs, superintendent/president ofPalomarCollege, voiced optimism over the discovery of faulty insulation in the duct work of the library which may be causing the health problems. ''I'm encouraged for the first time," said Boggs. "We appear to have identified a major contributor (to the problem)."

Mike Ellis, director of buildings and grounds, found that some insulation inside the duct work of the roof was flawed, and could be releasing fiberglass particles into the air stream. The cost to remove and replace the duct work is $50,000.

"It was a poor design to put insulation in air ducts that have high velocity air going though it." :Said Boggs. Because the flaw appears to be in the actual design of 'the building, the administration plans to request that the original building designers help pay for the costs. Boggs said that the administration may consider litigation against the original building designers if they refuse to assist in covering the cost of the repair.

While Boggs is optimistic over these recent findings, some library personnel are expressing disappointment by the findings of the long-awaited report conducted by toxicologist Dr. Michael Sullivan of Envirologic Data Inc. For a cost of about $7,000, the college hired Sullivan to collect data on the library staff's symptoms during periods when Envirologic Data altered the air

New Bookstore opens 'on time and within budget'

By Bryon Roberts Staff Writer

David Bunning!Staff Photographer

The photo at top shows how the newly-remodeled bookstore looks today, in the area near the old entrance. Below is the same area as it looked prior to the facelift.

Ifbigger is better, then the Palomar College Bookstore is about 40 percent superior to what it was last semester.

After four months of renovation and expansion by R.J. McAndrews Construction Company, of Vista, atacostof$454,000, the work was "finished on time and within budget," according to Bryant Guy, director of contract services at Palomar.

"We opened barely on time at 7:30a.m. January 22, the first day of school," said Virginia Dower, bookstore director at Palomar.

The bookstore's enlargement of 5,000 square feet brings the area total to about 12,000 square feet, said Dower.

According to Dower, the expanded bookstore affords more storage space for textbooks and greater ease for students to get to and to find books.

The store carries the same amount of merchandise, including

10,000 to 12,000 general books, but, Dower explained, "Now we can give most books face-out display."

Some students displayed surprise trying to enter the locked doors on the east side of the building during the first week of school.

"The old entrance is now a closed emergency exit. It is easier for students to access the bookstore from the patio," said Dower.

Some students also had to stand in line for forty or more minutes the first week. The computerized register system had malfunctioned.

"The electrical lines were too close to the data lines. They have to be six inches apart," Dower said.

"Hopefully now we've gotten all these bugs out of the system."

The cashiers had to ring up the sales by hand to keep the line moving, according to Dower.

Dower warned, that even with the seven extra bookstore registers, "If you want to avoid standing in line, buy your books one week before school starts."

Palomar re-accredited for six years Team recognizes college for quality without sacrificing to quantity

By Darren Ane Staff Writer After a year-long evaluation of Palomar College, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges has given Palomar a six-year reaccreditation.

The association sent an 11member commission consisting of representatives of other colleges to visit Palomar Oct. 30 for three days.

During their visit the commission met with members of the administration, faculty, classified staff, students and Governing Board.

"The team found Palomar to be an institution that is justifiably proud of its educational programs, with a committed and highly capable faculty providing quality teaching to a student population growing in size and diversity," said a statement from the commission.

Dr. Sam Schauerman, superintendent and president of the El Camino Community College Dis-

trict, who chaired the committee, gave many reasons for Palomar's re-accreditation. He cited the school's effectiveness in accommodating the rapid growth the school has experienced since the last accreditation in 1985. Since that time there has been a 61 percent increase in enrollment.

"The school has shown substantial efforts in the extension of its facilities as more and more students enroll,'' said Schauerman.

On January 7 and 8, the commission conducted an overall evaluation of the observation committee's 18-page report on their visit and gave Palomar its reaccreditation. "In granting accreditation, the commission finds that the institution (Palomar) has demonstrated that it operates at satisfactory levels of quality, integrity and effectiveness consistent with its stated purposes and consistent with commission standards," said a message from the commission to Palomar officials.

According to Schauerman accreditation is essential to the school and to its students. Accredited schools have an easier time seeking community, government and financial support. For the students it is an advantage when continuing with their education. "Students coming out of an accredited college like Palomar can go anywhere," said Schauerman.

Along with the accreditation there was a list of 36 recommendations for improvements.

Schauerman said the most crucial suggestion was for more effective departmental organizational structure. Palomar must address the committee's concerns by November 1, 1993.

The accreditation will stand for the maximum time of six years unless it is formally withdrawn.

After the six years the school will once again be comprehensively evaluated in the fall of 1996.

The state's budget crisis was the dominating issue at a Sacramento conference attended by Associated Student Government Senators Jennifer Thies, Tom Turk and President Sean Nix. The trio of student representatives agreed that the news for community colleges is disappointing where funding is concerned. Proposition 98 ,which guarantees funds for kindergarten through community college, may be suspended due to the state's $800 million deficit.

Turk said that the state has to cut funds from somewhere and education is the target. "It's easiest to ax education funds rather then funds for jails," said Turk. "Jails are now more important then education."

Turk said another concern regarding the deference of Prop. 98 is the influx of students who would be most likely, according to Turk, to transfer from universities to community colleges due to lack of money. Turk said that with funds cut, it would be hard for community colleges to handle the extra students.

ASG officers were given the opportunity to talk with various state officials individually at this Community College League of California Legislative Conference.

Amoung the representatives they spoke with were Senators Ralph Dills ( D- Los Angeles County ) and Bill Leonard ( R- Los Angeles County ). district) and Assemblyman Robert Frazee ( R- North San Diego County).

Turk said that the ASG officers "lobbied hard" to state officials mainly concerning the "hardships that freezing Prop. 98 would cause the students." However, Turk conceded although some officials he spoke with were in favor of keeping Prop.98 alive, even more were in favor of the governor's plan to suspend it. "Even though I learned a lot the overtone of the meeting was pretty depressing," said Turk.

The controversy over this $3 billion education cut was only one disappointing topic discussed at the conference, according to Turk.

ASG officers said they also lobbied against the new $250,000 property tax collection fee recently imposed on Palomar. Turk said that Palomar has to dip into its $1.4 million emergency fund in order to allocate enough funds to fit the bill.

Despite the disturbing news, Thies said that she believes that Palomar representatives, including Director of Student Activities Jim Bowen, Palomar Superintendent/ President Dr. George Boggs and Governing Board member Harold (see BUDGET- page 4)

Palomar student/reservist

c~lled

up for duty

By Alex Pisarczyk Staff Writer

Gene Pembroke/Staff Photographer

Palomar student, and inactive reservist, Walter Crommel, shown here working at the Veterans Services Office on campus, was recently called up for duty. It is likely that he will be sent to the Persian Gulf.

Foreign studies affected by war fears would send the students home."

By Jennifer London Staff Writer Six Palomar College students withdrew from a foreign study program when war in the Persian Gulf erupted.

The students had planned to spend a semester in Paris as part of the American Institute for Foreign Studies program, which also has centers in London and Japan. But fearing terrorist attacks, the students decided to withdraw from the program.

Twelve students remained in the program and left for Paris February 1.

Dean of Community Education William Flynn supports the decision the students made in remaining behind, but said, "If you change

your lifestyle and your actions because of fear, then the terrorists have already won."

AIFS coordinator Diane Veach said students who went to Paris are registered with the American embassy in France.

"We are in continuous contact with government agencies, so there is no fear of anything happening to ourstudents,"Veachsaid. "IfAIFS feels that it were necessary, they

Scofield, made a positive impression on the state officials.

"They were impressed because we had a large number of representatives," said Thies, who said she also believes that ASG officers had a definite influence on the subject matters.

Turk said that he encourages students to take part in the fight against laws that have a negative effect on colleges and its students.

"If you like Palomar let your representatives know," said Turk, who said that students who want to write their representatives should contact the ASG office for mailing addresses.

Thies said she agrees. "You have a vote and they are going to listen."

cemed about the people moving in, they many not even realize (the problem)."

Helm says that she's aware of the staffs concerns. "I think that's a fair question to raise. My perspective is that we're making significant progress, and I suggested that if an administrator was willing to move in there than that would be a statement of faith that we were making significant progress."

The librarians are asking for a six-month moratorium in order to see if the new changes to the library will make a significant difference in the health of the staff.

The library staff is also concerned about where staff members might have to be placed in order to

Flynn said AIFS is the largest foreign study program, and no problems of the safety of the participants have been reported.

He said there was discussion about cancelling the trip, but that there was a significant number of students who wanted to go.

"You are about as safe ¡in San Diego as you are in Paris," Flynn said.

Palomar sponsors the program with MiraCosta College. Flynn said that there are plans for a foreign study program in London this fall.

He hopes that the fear over the war will not effect the outcome of the AIFS program.

accommodate Wallenius. "The area that they proposed for these people to work is in an area that they wouldn't even put the tutoring center because there weren't enough vents in the ceiling," said Ciurczak."

Ciurczak said that she felt that the proposal sends a mixed message to the library staff. "It's like we don't really care-we care with a lotoflipservice, butwhenitcomes down to the real thing, the message is that the administration doesn't care about the staff."

Helm disagrees, saying, "Clearly the institution cares about the library staff. We have put more than $30,000 into inspections and other work."

As active military reservists are being deployed to the war in the Persian Gulf, inactive reservists are next in line for Operation Desert Storm. Walter Crommel, an inactive reservist, and Palomar College aviation management student, is in that line.

Crommel was given his orders February II for deployment to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

According to Crommel, he has to be at the base of the second Marine division in North Carolina by February I7.

"We might, or we might not go to the Persian gulf from there," said Crommel. "It depends on how long this war drags on."

Crommel served in the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton for four years on active duty, and he has been on inactive duty for six months. He said that the inactive reservist program is similar to an honorable discharge: four years of actiÂĽe duty followed by four years of inactive duty.

Inactive reservists are called up after the active reserves are all on duty, but before a draft is initiated.

Crommel said that he served his four years of active duty with the Third Battalion, Fifth Marine unit from Camp Pendleton. According to Crommel, he had many friends in the Fifth Marines Expeditionary Brigade unit. That unit left on De-

cember 5 and is now in the Persian Gulf fighting in Operation Desert Storm.

During Crommel's active duty, he was involved in two West Pacific deployments on the U.S.S. Constellation, once in May of I987 and once in May of I989, for six months each time. According to Crommel, during his 1987 deployment, the U.S.S. Stark was attacked in the Persian Gulf, and the Constellation was the first carrier on the scene.

Aircraft from the carrier escorted re-flagged Kuwaiti ships out of the Gulf to safety. These ships were flying the American flag in order to keep Iraq from firing upon them.

Crommel said that he feels the war had to happen, and that "Bush did the right thing. I would go, and I was proud to serve. " However, he would rather not go this time.

"I wouldn't want to go, because I'm just getting used to the civilian ways of living."

According to Crommel, there have already been deployments from the Army's inactive reservist groups, mainly specialists in some fields.

"I'm hoping we won't be called upon, but it's just a matter of time before we are, " he said.

Before he left, Crommel was involved in a work study program at Palomar, working at the Veterans Services Office, and also taking on the responsibilities of a full time student with I5 units.

The La Costa Meadows Child Care Center, nearing completion, will open its doors June 17. The center, as a joint venture between industry and education, is to be the first of its kind in North County.

As an employer-sponsored child care facility it will service employees ofboth La Costa Meadows Industrial Park and Palomar College.

While Palomar will staff and operate the new center, it will be totally self-sufficient and not draw on the district 's already tight budget. The operating costs ofLa Costa Meadows Child Care Center will be paid from revenues received.

The businesses within La Costa Meadows Industrial Park provided $90,000 in equipment and initial operating costs, while the developer contributed $120,000 in site improvements.

The plan to implement a joint child care program originated with Anne Hunter-Welborn and developer Tom Anthony. They approached Mike Gregoryk, vice president of fiscal and administrative services, two years ago.

Gregoryk began negotiations with Mary Anne Giardina-Rogers, associate professor of child development, for the child care center.

Giardina-Rogers will take on the role of district child care coordinator when the new center opens.

Giardina-Rogers had taken an active role in the planning and preparation of the child care facility. Working with Anthony, the facility is being made to GiardinaRogers' specifications, both inside and out.

Giardina-Rogers says the center will offer competent child care in a caring, yet educational environment. She said the center is being built to service 86 children a day.

About 100 pre-school children will be enrolled, but not all will attend at one time. The state mandates that 35 square feet of space are needed for each child. "We won't know until they measure just how many children can be serviced," Giardina-Rogers said.

The employees of La Costa Industrial Park will have the first availability to child care, with employees of Palomar receiving the remaining child care slots. The La Costa Meadows Child Care Center is located on the comer of Rancho Santa Fe Road within the La Costa Meadows Industrial Park in San Marcos.

Giardina-Rogers said, "To me this is the beginning of a good marriage between an educational institution and industry."

Money for education is money for the future "The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but has no vision." -Helen Keller When in a leadership position, it is not only important to recognize a problem, but it is vital for the leader to discover how to deal with that problem wisely.

Gov. Pete Wilson has discovered a problem named debtand California has lots of it But when his solutions to this hurdle involve cutting education funds, it only shows that he lacks the vision to better our state for the future.

In a recent proposal, Wilson has announced plans to retract Proposition 98, an educational funding bill passed by the voters, to aid efforts in cutting the California budget deficit. While Wilson is on the right track when it comes to restoring an economic order to California, he falls completely off the path when his plan starts to attack education funds.

To argue on the value of education is akin to arguing the need for food for humans to function. In our society, with its growing technological growth, we need the skills and knowledge necessary to propel this nation into the future.

It is no secret that wasteful spending occurs in legislative bodies, and California is surely no exception. Wilson should instead explore other options for cutting the budget; slashing education is not an acceptable answer.

Students must act now, as constituents, to persuade Sacramento that when they line out money for education, they also cross out the future.

Palomar can't phone home Some messages simply don't get through ... .literally.

Even before the Spring semester started, the phones at Palomar went on the blink.

In early January, the phones were down for nearly an entire day. People on campus could not call out, and people off campus could not call in.

Callers complain about the system's incompetency, saying that it is virtually impossible to get in contact with people on campus even when the phones are operational. Complaints that have been aired include having the phone cut off the caller before getting through to an extension, and the system never even answering the phone at all during school hours.

While the college should be commended for making registration easier, these problems have overflowed into the phone-in registration system as well.

One Palomar student told The Telescope he had to call at least three times before the system would let him register, and that was up to 15 minutes after his allotted time to register had passed. On each of those three times, the computer message said that he was calling too early to register.

Palomar officials have said that phone problems are the result of an overload on the use of the system.

Last spring, Palomar expanded its phone system by making a $1,300 investment in four new incoming phone lines to accommodate more calls and to prevent situations like the ones people are complaining about. But this addition doesn't seem to be helping the situation.

Palomar College needs to re-evaluate the efficiency of the school's phone system, and find some way of organizing it so that people don't miss those they are trying to reach out and touch.

Bush: beware of economic mirages During bad times it is always great to hear optimistic news. President Bush's claim last week that this nation's recession would be "mild and brief' was a very optimistic and reassuring thing to say. But it is hardly realistic. Both local and national economic indicators· show that the slump we are in now is just the beginning of dark times ahead.

California's drought can only make things even worse than they are now.

Mandatory cuts in water usage will near75 percent in the near future. The Otay Mesa Water District will be going to a Stage Five water alert soon. What this means is that all waterneeded for new construction projects would be cutoff.

It is nearly Impossible to grade land without dampening it with water. As a result of this, construction workers will be layed off and the price of doing construction will rise.

Agriculture in California will also lose out. Farmers could lose up to 75 percent in water usage if the federal Central Valley Project, which supplies one-third of the water to the state's irrigated crops, goes through with its water reduction plans. According to a recent article in the Times Advocate, "A three-fourths reduction (in water) would be the worst since the second year of the 1976-77 drought when the CVP cut deliveries to farms by 75 percent...." This, coupled with the frosts of December and January, will undoubtedly leave consumers footing the bill in the form of higher prices at the grocery store.

Economic problems brought on by the drought are just the tip of the iceberg of the current recession. The current war in the Persian Gulf is having a devastating effect on the travel industry in this country.

Already, airlines PanAm and TWA are faltering because of the loss of international flight business because of fears of terrorist attacks. Even travel within the United States is suffering, and the airlines along with it. PanAm recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, cut 4,000 jobs and cut back its service to Europe.

USAir, which not too long ago became an airline giant after purchasing Piedmont Airlines and San Diego-based

P.O.V. (Point of View)

Roman Koenig PSA, has made the decision to lay off 3,600 workers and close down its San Diego crew base.

Department store giants are also feeling the pinch of the economy after having to take drastic measures to stay afloat.

Sears, for example, is planning to do away with its over 100year catalogue seryice because it is no longer lucrative. On top of that, the company has announced that it will be cutting another 9,000 jobs, bringing the total job cuts made by Sears to 33,000. Carter Hawley Hale, who owns The Broadway department store chain, has filed for protection under Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The "Big Three" automobile makers (Ford, General Motors and Chrysler) reported at the beginning of the month that car and truck sales for January had fallen 29.9 percent compared to January 1991. An Associated Press article said that "Combined, the Big Three are expected to report the biggest quarterly financial loss in their history, with somewhere around $1.7 billion in losses."

President Bush says that the recession will be mild and short-lived, yet he fails to mention these very real economic indicators that show the economy is in a giant mess.

The defense industry is not immune from this mess, either. Due mostly to failing government contracts, defense contractors are continuing to lay off employees.

It should not be forgotten that this country's national deficit continues to grow and that the war is going cost money to maintain as well as clean-up when it is over. Both the president and the Congress will have to deal with this fact, and deal with reconstructing our own economy as well.

And yet through all this, Bush remains optimistic, but not realistic, that the recession will be short. "I predict that in a couple of quarters we'll come out of this and we'll have a robust economy," Bush recently told the Economic Club of New York.

Bush has also vowed to reduce the deficit to zero by 199 5.

Do you know how large the deficit is? It has now reached $318 billion. In Bush's address to the Economic Club, his vow to reduce the deficit from $318 billion to "zero" in four years did not "generate much enthusiasm," out of the audience of nearly 2,000, according to media accounts. And rightfully so. There are simply too many factors that economic growth is dependent on for Bush's optimistic, unrealistic scenario to come true.

Bush has given nothing but glimmering generalities of hope while offering no solid solutions or plans of action as to how to solve the country's economic crisis. If he doesn't offer a realistic plan of action soon, his vision may very easily prove to be nothing more than a desert mirage.

··t>~~T. \fti~ ;oi'\ ~oO~ ~~y. -~~ Right-to-die trades life for convenience

By Tracy Wilson Editorial Page Editor Who can forget the classic movie "Solyent Green" where elderly people were marched away by the government to become food products for a younger, more able society.

While this story shocked America with its terrifying plot, it also provided a look at the devaluation of human life that, while of course not reaching the movie's extremes, does prevail in society today.

It's all a matter of convenienc~.

"Right-to-die" questions have repeatedly appeared in the media spotlight to the point that "euthanasia" is-strangely enough-a household word. We saw the strange phenomena with recent cases such as Nancy Cruzan, a woman whose parents fought in the courts and won the "right" to end her life. Another striking example is Dr. Jack Kevorkian, otherwise known as Dr. Death, who invented a truly '90s contraption designed to allow an individual to medically commit suicide without the traditional blood and pain.

Opponents to euthanasia have cried out about the sanctity of human life, and how these actions, when allowed, set a precedent for more and m9re death in the future.

But sometimes death is convenient.

On Feb. 17, the Los Angeles Times reported that one man, Oliver W angelie, is actually fighting for his wife's "right-tolife" in the courts.

After being in a vegetative state since May, Helen Wangelie's physicians-those hired to preserve her lifewant to pull the plug, and they've gone to the courts for the permission to do so. They claim her condition will never improve and it is fruitless to prolong her life.

It's a matter of convenience.

So in an odd tum of events, a man is actually fighting for the right to keep his spouse alive. We are now in a society that devaluates human life to such an extent that individuals have to fight for life-in the courts.

From scholars to humanitarians to intellectuals and philosophers, people have been griping for years about "man's inhumanity towards man." We marvel at the rate of violence and shudder at homicide statistics; we gasp at gang wars and shake our heads wj"!en students drop out of school. Somehow we want individuals to respect their own lives and the lives of others, yet-in a strange double standard-when it comes to people in the most unfortunate of situations, we bicker over whether their lives are even worth preserving.

After all, sometimes the death of others is a simple matter of convenience.

Help wanted: it's time to volunteer

By Tracy Wilson Editorial Page Editor Conservative William F. Buckley recently released a book where he advocated a new bureaucracy and a forced servitude to charitable endeavors. Why in the world would a conservative spokesman advocate such an obvious liberal calling? Call it frustration or call it a momentary relapse, but Buckley was simply looking at the American populace and realizing what this nation most lacks: volunteers.

We are in a society which seems to rely on the government to help the homeless, assist with day care or erase our nation of drugs. When individuals notice a social ill, it seems that they look more towards the government than to themselves.

Should Pete Rose be allowed in the Hall of Fame?

(Photos by Michael Bagstad)

Students are no different and possibly a larger part of the problem since many of them have the time to commit to helping others. While some students carry full-time work and school schedules, others attend part-time and leave most of their days for idle fun.

People who have the time should spend it productively, putting some work back into a society that essentially pays for their two years of education here at Palomar.

Maybe when we look at the government to solve our problem, we will realize that we are actually gazing into a mirror-which casts our own reflection. Who else should erase the ills ofsociety than those who are a member of that society?

Undecided Computer Science "Yes, because if he is "Yes, he went to jail and admitted, it is because of has served his time." the way he played as a player; he played well, so he should be admitted."

By Amelia Bowles Feature Editor The drought is now an official resident of Southern California. Everyone, including our state government, knew this drought was coming. The Metropolitian Water District commissioner gave us plenty of warning. We didn't listen and as a result everyone will soon have to cut water usage by 30 percent.

This cut-back will have a large economic impact in our state as farmers grow less crops and industry slows production in order to conserve water. However, this conservation effort could have been avoided by building a desalination plant.

Several San Diego companies have tried for years to have the government of California help in building such a plant.

They got nowhere. They were told it is too expensive to build and would not significantly help the water shortage.

Granted, these claims are true in part; desalination plants are very expensive to build, but still the need is there. By converting sea water into drinking water, Southern California would not have to rely so heavily on imported water or Mother Nature. A desalination plant would definitely be an asset, even if it only added one-fourth to our water supply.

It is time for California to wake up and find alternative ways of providing water. The drought is here to stay and no one knows for how long. It seems that the state's only other feasible, yet extreme, alternative would be to close its borders to any new arrivals until our water problems are solved. In the meantime, as long as we stubbornly refuse to invest money is solutions like desalination plants, we are losing out drop by drop.

Bush warrants applause

By Tracy Wilson Editorial Page Editor A common illustration says that leadership is like a man manipulating a string. If he pushes the string, nothing productive happens; instead, he must pull the string.

In regards to the Gulf War, it can be said that President Bush has taken such a leadership position. He has not donned a weak or apologetic stance towards our involvement; instead he has consistently pulled this country in a straight line towards a convincing victory for the allies.

Recently, in what could be seen as a strategic diplomatic move to keep themselves involved in the area, the Soviet Union has worked out their own peace proposals with Iraq.

And like any business organization, Hussein's government has bartered for more than they could ever hope to receive.

While some individuals seek for Bush to accept any offhanded proposal that might ensure peace, the president knew better. He quickly and completely knocked down the Soviet proposal before even Iraq could accept it.

Rejecting this proposal and keeping the United States on a straight line towards victory demonstrates a leadership that Bush has not exactly towed in the domestic spotlight.

For this, our CommandP,. and Chief should be commended.

While opinion polls applaud Bush's actions, the barrage of American flags and bumper stickers littering cars and front porches could be considered a giant standing ovation for President Bush's resolve. Mr. President, take a bow.

8 The Telescope

By ChrisS. MacPhail Staff Writer

With the Middle East in turmoil, Palomar College student, Lee Carrubba, of free mind and body, embarked on a trip to Egypt Carrubba, 43, describes her trip as a multipurpose experience. Her passion for belly dancing, along with her desire to talk to the people and photograph the sights, took her on a journey of discovery.

Carrubba, with her startling blue-green eyes, light skin, and dark, wavy hair, has a relaxed demeanor. Her hair is adorned with a bright, exotic scarf. The scarf is but a portion of the Middle Eastern trinkets that returned with her from Egypt Much of the shopping she did was for belly dancing paraphernalia. She proudly points to the pin on her blouse, a gift from a Saudi man who worked for a Saudi public relations firm. He was part of a team hired to promote a better image of Saudi Arabia to the Americans. "They are very conscious now of their image. He gave me this pin. It's got an American flag and a Saudi flag, side by side."

During the three- week trip, Carrubba spent most of her time in Cairo. Even with the unrest in the Middle East, Carrubba had no fear while traveling the streets. "Egypt was very safe. I was probably safer on the streets of Cairo than in downtown San Diego.''

Carrubba thinks each country should be considered separately, not just lumped into the "Middle East.'' According to Carrubba, the Egyptians are glad the Americans carne to make a stand for human rights. Referring to the Gulf War, she says, "As far as the feelings, everyone is happy that we are there.''

Once she figured out the bartering system of the cab, it was easy to tour the city. She did, however, take side trips, one to Alexandria to attend an Arab wedding and another that was a Nile cruise.

Carrubba describes Cairo as a rambling city of 14 million people, similar to Los Angeles. She views Cairo as a place of many contrasts, as is all of Egypt. She says it was not uncommon to see a brand-new manufacturing plant right next to a hovel.

Five times a day Muslim prayers can be

heard from the loud speakers located throughout the city. Carrubba says the people carry prayer rugs with them, unrolling them onto the sidewalks when needed. "Some very old traditions continue even with the advent of technology.''

Carrubba remembers the Muslim wedding was one giant party. She also learned much about Egyptian dating and marriage rituals. Instead of 2-carat diamond engagement rings, the Egyptians have contracts. With the onset of the first contract, the future bride is given money to start up a household. With the signing of the second contract, they are married. The wedding party can virtually last for days. "Compared to tame Americans, Arabs have high- energy weddings," she says.

A belly dancer of 12 years, Carrubba sought out opportunities to belly dance, Egyptian-style. Carrubba explains," Belly dancing in Egypt is like rock 'n' roll here.''

Carrubba, who took up belly dancing as a stress reducer, found herself dancing for the Lebanese Ambassador in Egypt.

She says, "I was kind of a phenomenon over there. I'm American, yet I dance like an Easterner." She laughs, "I was real popular. I was offered 40,000 camels for my hand in marriage. But, not knowing the resale value of camels, I turned down my suitor."

But not all of her memories of Egypt are positive ones. "Women still are seen as second- class citizens, especially when you get into the back areas." Carrubba spoke with a traveling missionary, who told her of women buying their own beating sticks.

The women give the sticks to their husbands as presents. Even the Westernized cities are not exempt from such attitudes. Carrubba was asked not to photograph her friends dancing. They were in a place frequented by men and their mistresses, she said.

Carrubba also said the women keep their hair covered out of respect to their husbands.

Despite differing attitudes, Carrubba characterizes the Egyptian people as "openhearted and friend! y.''

"I had the red carpet treatment, roses in my room every day, and every other day, a bowl of fresh fruit" Carrubba also believes being an American didn't hurt. " I was out

Lee Carrubba studies the multitude of photographs that she tookon her recent trip to Egypt. She is not only an accomplished photographer, but belly dances as well. on the street a lot. As soon as people found out I was American, they'd shake my hand and thank me. Also, there was more English spoken then you would think.''

Carrubba met many people who looked to the Americans as heros. Because of the Eastern culture, Carrubba is surprised by the fact Saddam Hussein is equated with Hitler.

Most people, she says, believe Hussein like Hitler, does have a master plan, a plan not to end with Kuwait.

The GulfW ar began before Carrubba was due to return to the States. "I had to pull some strings. Even though my reservation was confirmed, my ticket had been canceled."

She met a foreign correspondent who put her in contact with the press spokesperson for the Egyptian Embassy. Carrubba says, "I told him I was a traveling journalist, and this is my problem ... He got back to me in 30 minutes. There's no problem, you're on the plane.''

'I was offered 40,000 camels for my hand in marriage.

But, not knowing the resale value of camels, I turned down my suitor.'

French storybook underdog revives on silver screen

By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer Recently nominated for an Oscar as best foreign film, this French movie is the most recent version of the fabled tale Cyrano DeBergerac.

This rendering of the story written more than 200 years ago by the Parisian author Edmond Rostand, will please historic and literary movie lovers alike.

De Bergerac is of course the dashing and romantic character who falls in love with a beautiful woman, but is afraid to tell her because he is ashamed of his long obtrusive nose. The plot may be familiar if you saw the comedy Roxanne starring Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah.

The classicproductionofCyrano De Bergerac, made in the '40s, may however be the most familiar telling of the original story. The movie starred Jose Ferrer, and was directed by Stanley Kramer This newest French version also sticks to the original 17th century setting and story line, yet gives a fresh and reverent look. French movie idol Gerard Dcpardieu plays Cyrano and Anne Brochet co-stars as Roxanne. Depardieu recently made his American film debut in "Green Card."

The sets are extensive, rich and very European in that the frolicking elegance seems natural. In fact, the movie is in French with English subtitles, which is no problem. The only problem viewers may have is trying to keep up with Depardieu' s constant and energetic action as they try to grasp the meaning of his poetic lines. The script is after all taken d i rectly from the book.

The film opens with peasants and nobility crowding into a giant theater in the early evening to see a play which the audience knows

Cyrano De Bergerac (played by Gerard Depardieu) flaunts his wit and swordsmanship, despite his hot-dog-like nose. Only his dreamgirl Roxanne (played by Anne Brochet) can humble him to shame. about his nose.

Here then we have a scene which is potentially boring as our soldier hero, well aware of his homeliness, outdoes his critic with 20 more insults of his own which are far more clever and thrill the bystanders. However, boredom never sets in as the scene between the two combatants constantly shifts and a sword fight ensues during the discourse.

This same man who duels Cyrano is also the current suitor of the lovely Roxanne.

As the story continues, Roxanne becomes interestedinayoungand handsome cava-

lier, Christian De Neuvillette, played by Vincent Perez. He is in love with her, but is always at loss for words. Cyrano, who is also madly in love with Roxanne, feels

'Exquisite movie: try and see it.'

Hank Tritchka 'Cyrano De Bergerac' movie reviewer will be a comical farce. During the opening act of this play, we are introduced to the brash yet elegant character Cyrano DeBergerac, who chases the star of the play off the stage.

Cyrano challenges the audience who is angered that he has interrupted their play. When nobody accepts his challenge to dual, he proceeds to win them over with his wit and charm. A high-ranking member of nobility is not amused however, and he challenges Cyrano by making a lackluster comment

that he would be rejected if he was to tell her about his own feelings, so he tells her indirectly by giving Christian his lines to use.

Throughout the film this love

masquerade is played as the rough and deadly Cyrano grudgingly protects the young and ignorant Christian for Roxanne's sake. He also pens all of the romantic letters which will melt Roxanne's heart.

The duo even stand beneath the maiden's balcony with Cyrano giving his rival friend the words which will best win her heart.

Though romantic,these scenes are quite humorous.

War with Spain breaks up these escapades as the two men leave for the front.

Cyrano continues to write the letters however, and even delivers them across enemy territory w h i I e Roxanne continues to think they are from ChrisThe scenes are extensive, and bring to mind the MGM features of the olden days.

The whole story comes to a dramatic conclusion as the masks are painfully taken away by death and last confessions. Cyrano's last scene seems drawn out, but perhaps it is necessary for authenticity. Overall, the film was highly rewarding and a nice change of pace from the usual selection of box office releases. You leave feeling that you have been in the 17th century for much longer than two and a half hours. Exquisite movie: try and see it

Visitors kicked out in 12-7 loss

In the eighth inning with Comets on third and first, a balk was called on Glendale's Rock Detoble.

Glendale managerSteve Coots disputed the call which resulted in his and Glendale's explusion.

Freshman Comets reliever Chris Adams unleashes one of his "submarine" style pitches. Adams tossed three-and-a-third innings of relief in the messy 12-7 home opener, earning him his second relief win.

'They (Glendale) were talking trash to us on the field, they always kept picking on us. We just showed them that we could play better.'

Chris Adams, Comets reliever

One of the marks of winning teams is the ability to win ugly.

Palomar's baseball team proved that in its home opener when it survived a 12-7free-for-allagainst the Glendale Vaqueros on Feb. 16.

The Comets, who came off a 42 win at Golden West College, are currently 5-3. The Comets begin conference play on the road versus conference power San Diego Mesa College tomorrow.

What is most surprising from this team, which is a predominantly freshmen squad, is that the Comets have won without their ace starter, Robert Erp, who strained a ligament muscle during the Golden West game. According to Comets

manager Bob Vetter, Erp's status as a pitcher is on a day to day basis.

The gray skies over Mitchell Memorial Field foreshadowed the type of day both teams had; 13 walks, five errors, five wild pitches (which produced two runs), four hit batters and two balks (which accounted for two runs).

"Glendale gave us quite a few opportunities," said Vetter. "Their pitchers had a tough time throwing strikes and we took advantage of it."

One of the balks, which was called on Vaqueros reliever Rock Detolbe with two Comets on and one out in the eighth inning, so incensed Vaqueros manager Steve Coots that he was thrown out of the game. Coots declined to comment after the game.

According to Vetter, in Pacific Coast Conference games played at home, if a manager is thrown out of the game, then the game is forfeited.

The ill-feelings between the Vaqueros, who were 6-3 before the game, and the Comets had already been rising before the eighth inning incident.

"I sensed it a lot," said freshman Comets reliever Chris Adams, who was the winning pitcher in relief of the Golden West and Glendale games.

"They were talking trash to us on the field, they were always picking on us," said Adams. "We just showed them that we could play better."

The Comets were certainly not fooled by Glendale's pitching. In the second inning, catcher Tom Afenir lead off with a double and came home when designated hitter George Krekelberg singled.

Shortstop Jason Schmeiser and left fielder Spike Mitchell walked, but the inning stalled with the bases loaded when right fielder Jim McCarthy struck out.

The Vaqueros woke up in the top of the third, after they were held hitless by Comets starter John Uglow. With one out, Vaqueros catcher Scott Wirz doubled into right, center fielder Vic Ramirez

singled and second baseman Mike Regan walked to load the bases.

Vaqueros first baseman Mickey Moreno singled to center, bringing in Wirz. A biting slider in the dirt went to the backstop, which scored Ramirez. A fastball off of Comets catcher Afenir' s mitt scored Regan and right fielder Swain Wukelich' s single scored Moreno.

The Vaqueros chased Uglow with one out in the third and was relieved by Adams, who induced the final two Vaqueros into ground outs.

Ramirez scored the second of his three total runs in the fourth when Regan singled him home from second, making the score 5-l before chaos broke out.

After Comets third baseman Dave Goss struck out, sophomore second baseman Adrian Lopez walked, followed by Schmeiser.

Mitchell then singled Lopez home, sending Schmeiser to third base.

McCarthy then was hit by Vaqueros starter Eric Asselin, loading the bases.

Asselin was then replaced by Vaquero reliever Ryan McCaffity, who then walked center fielder Ed Cornblum, forcing Schmeiser home and making the score 5-3.

McCaffity continued in Glendale's control problems when he walked first baseman Mitch Anderson, permitting Mitchell to score the fourth run.

McCaffity sank Glendale into further despair when he balked McCarthy home to tie the score.

Comblum came in from third on Afenir' s single down the left field line. Making the chaotic situation even worse was Vaqueros Regan's throwing error on a tailor-made double play. Anderson scored on Regan's toss over his dugout.

After hitting Goss and Lopez, McCaffity surrendered a line shot double to Schmeiser, which scored two more. When the dust cleared, the Comets scored eight runs on three hits.

Comet golfer Jim Brande finished third out of 102 golfers. He hit for 79 in the first round and 72 in the second, a team record.

At the conclusion of the 1990 regular season, the Palomar women's softball team placed first in the Pacific Coast Conference, and although they failed to win in the state fmals, they still managed to put 11 players in the 12-player All-American roster.

This year however, only three players from thatfrrst- ranked squad will be returning. One of which will be this year's starting pitcher, Shannon Downey. Downey, who was 3-0 last year and had a 0.73 ERA in 19 innings, is expected to

lead this year's team.

The other returnees are catcher TeresaJulianoofSanMarcos, who hit .300 in limited action, and right fielder Shiela Teach of San Pasqua!, who hit .500 in limited duty and will play left field.

The rest of the team consists of a new crop of freshmen who will look to lead this team to another winning season. Aside from Teach, the rest of the outfield will be Suzi Esposito of San Pasqua!, who will be playing right and leadoff, and Carla DeWitt, a sophomore transfer from Cerritos, playing centerfield.

Playing catcher will be Carlsbad's Amy Oberholtz.

Rancho Buena Vista's Alicia Morrone, who was the Palomar League's Player of the Year, will be handling first base. Second base will be played by Annie Page of Orange Glen. Mt. Carmel's Casey Thimjon will be at third base, while San Marcos' April Austin will be the starting shortstop.

Downey's back-up at the mound will be Alisa Thomas of San Marcos. Rounding up this year's roster will be reserves: infieldoutfielder Stacey Thimjon (Mt. Carmel), Outfielder Denise Wienk (San Marcos), infield-outfielder Maura Wolfe (Rancho Buena Vista) and outfielder Tina Grossi (Rancho Buena Vista).

Traitor Joe turns Padres fans blue

Feb.28

To Padre fans, 1984 is as special as that first trip around the bases. The Padres shook an angry fist defiantly at the Chicago Cubs; the media darlings, the Establishment.

In 1984, who would have thought that beginning 1991, Trader Jack McKeon would be gone, that some Hollywood producer owned the Padres, that an arrogant New York snob ran my team, that Tony Gwynn was no longer welcome.

And even the colors changed from brown to blue.

What furthers my anguish is the coming of WGN, that dreaded Chicago Cubs cable channel.

With this added torment, can the Visigoths or the Vandals be far behind?

This must be a nightmare. That's it. Of course.

But this isn't a nightmare: my San Diego Padres are no longer the same affable team they used to be. The current changes (committed by management and fate) have made the Padres just another team, a bad one at that too.

No, new owner Tom Werner made sure I wasn't sleeping when he recruited Rosanne Barr to sing the national anthem last summer. If anyone can bring the boys home from Iraq, it's her- she would barely fit inside the view of their gunsights.

New General Manager Joe Mcllvane (recently of New York) must be on a suicidal bent, or was sent

by New York to destroy the fun at San Diego.

Otherwise, what could explain the rash of idiotic moves done in his name?

For starters, "Me-Ill-wind" has alienated Benito Santiago and Tony Gwynn, two future Hall of Famers, only because he wouldn't settle to long term contracts with both of them.

He must have all of a sudden just woke up last fall and said, "I think I'll make San Diego pay for all those disgusting palm trees they have."

If I knew it would come to this, I would have shipped you a pair, Joe, complete with coconuts.

Can anyone untangle this mess: Mcllvane (he of the "big-time" N.Y. connections) couldn't sign AllStar third baseman Gary Gaitti or Mets outfielder

Out of Leftfield Salvador Marquez Darryl Strawberry or anyone of quality. He did, instead, sign two washouts; injury-prone third baseman Jim Presley and aging second baseman Marty Barrett.

Presley? A cursory look at his year in Atlanta would make you wish he was still in hiding -led National League third basemen with 25 errors, struckout 130 times, hit .~42 and 19 homers. His homers may sound like a nice sum, but remember, "Elvis" here played in a place called "The Launching Pad." And Barrett, a senior citizen at 34 and a .226 hitter last year, is slated as the starting second baseman. This, despite the fact the Padres have a second baseman in Leon "Bip" Roberts, a .309 hitting, base stealing, explosive machine.

And despite Werner's constant denials, the change of team color from brown to blue has to be because of his former love and the Padres' eternal enemy: the Los Angeles Dodgers.

For people like Werner and Mcllvane, baseball is a business, not an expression of individuality.

In San Diego, baseball was our prime example that our area is different from the rest of the nation.

San Diego had the Chicken (until he sold his talents elsewhere), a unique "Big Ball Park" as announcer Jerry Coleman used to say (until management shortened it), rock concerts, tailgate parties, and a unique uniform (only the StLouis Browns of old had the same color).

For all of Werner's and Mcllvane's posturing, they'll never be able to regain the magic of that championship season of 1984.

Does Pete Rose belong on the Hall of Fame ballot?

Two Telescope Sports Writers offer their opinions on the controversy

Only heroes belong on the ballot; Rose isn·t one

Refusal of Rose? Then why have a Hall of Fame?

By Sean Dean Sportswriter

Imagine, if you will, you are forming a hall and in this hall you were going to honor the best, no, the greatest that the game of baseball has ever produced. Now in this hall, which of course you would call the Hall of Fame, you would put plaques up on the wall to honor such players, so that the many generations to come would know these players as legends.

In this hall you would have the top home run leader Hank Aaron, the top base stealer Lou Brock, as well as the top winning pitcher Cy Young and others such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Ted Williams, who were phenomenal in their playing days.

Now to get to my point: why not have the top base hitter, who in fact had 4,192 of them, as well as the top singles hitter and the player who had the most 200 hit seasons in baseball history, in your hall of fame? Well, the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame tends not to agree.

Back on Feb. 4, the Hall of Fame Committee took upon themselves to declare "Charlie Hustle," Pete Rose ineligible to be put on the '92 voting ballot. Their argument is that Rose, who was banned from baseball by the late Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti on alleged gambling dealings, does not have the integrity to nor does he deserve to receive such an honor.

In the opinion of this writer, it seems that the Hall of Fame Committee is getting too

critical in their decisions and is bringing politics into who should, and who shouldn't be honored for baseball's greatest achievement.

Another thing: why the sudden change in rules, judging who can and who can't be on the ballot? Could it be because Rose would have been eligible to be voted in by the Baseball Writers of America in 1992? No, the Hall of Fame has more respect for the Baseball Writers of America than that, and wouldn't dare give them a slap in the face like that.

Right!

The truth is the Hall of arne was afraid that the Baseball Writers of America were going to vote in Rose and that their great hall would have been tarnished for life. The voters know that Rose's numbers can not be passed up, and to be truthful they would have given him votes on that alone. But since he was banned he would have not gone in on his first year, maybe his second or third year.

To close out this argument. Baseball's greater hitter deserves to be in the Hall of Fame for what he did on the field and for those great memories that he gave us. He should not be held out for what he did after his playing days. If the Hall of Fame Committee's new rules were enforced from the beginning, half of the members that are currently enshrined would not be in there for their off-the-field antics alone.

Enough of this pious hypocrisy! Players should be judged by their achievements. If Pete Rose is not in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame, then why have one?

By Patrick Gifford Sportswriter

C'mon! Be serious! Pete Rose on the ballot for the Hall Of Fame? Say the words again, Hall ofFame. What does that mean to you? It does not mean, "HallofFamous," or "Hall of (great players, not model citizens) Fame."

To me, growing up in a sports-oriented family, I admired athletes, emulated them, and played against them in my dreams.

Being from upstate New York, the start of spring training in Florida, and Arizona meant that warm weather would soon be upon us. School would be letting out, and the new baseball cards would be arriving at the stores. Nobody cared about the stick of gum, you just wanted that Rod Carew, Johnny Bench, or Roberto Clemente card that no one else had.

The men elected to the 'Hall' stood for something. They were the very best at America's national pastime, they were the essence of the game. They were "the game."

As I walked around in wide-eyed amazement at everything I got an idea of who these men were. One thing was very clear, they all loved the game as much as I did.

They would never do anything to hurt the game.

Which brings us to Pete Rose. I always admired the way "Charlie Hustle played.

The head-first dives, stretching a single

into a double, and what baseball fan worth their CrackerJack could forget Pete barreling into catcher Ray Fosse in an All-Star game.

It's a game that has seemingly no value except to the fans. That's how Rose played. It was his trademark.

But, Pete Rose bet on baseball! He cheated, he broke the rules, and for this he should not even have the honor of being named to the ballot. I would not ban him for his tax-evasion problems, which he eventually served a prison sentence, as this did not have a bearing on baseball. But, Pete Rose bet on baseball! As a manager, he may have affected the game in a way no ballot nominee could.

I do not dispute that Rose loved the game more than anything else, but you have certain guidelines that everybody must comply to, or face the consequences. You can't take away what he has accomplished as a player, and I think some of his memorabilia belong in the 'Hall' for the very same reason that he should not.

Children in their own wide-eyed amazement will see a ball with the number 4,192 on it, and ask you why this man does not have a picture up on the wall. You can explain to your child that although you may be a great player, you cannot break the rules, even in these days of million dollar salaries.

A man's greatness should not be measured by how many hits he had! I'm sorry if he is to be made an example of, but if we allow this then what do we tell our children? It's O.K. to cheat just don't get caught!

After sinking all three, the Comets crept within nine, 47-39.

But the Griffms caught fire, determined not to lose against a virtual freshman team, building their lead to 14 points in the first four minutes of the second half, 55-41.

Afterreducing a double-digit lead to three points, the Comet hopes for an upset were dashed by a lay-up and foul shot by Griffms guard Mike Barry, making the score 88-82.

The Comets were paced by forward Michael Graves with 23 points. According to Graves, he plans to concentrate fully on basketball next year by quitting the football team, where he was a punter and a reserve wide receiver.

Ending his Comets basketball career, along with forward Paul Baldwin, that night was the lone sophomore starter on the team, Buras, who sank 13 points (including one of the decisive three-point goals).

"It was a long, tough struggle," said Buras.

"The team improved quite a bit, for being all freshmen.

I think the program is getting better and should get better next year. It's unfortunate for me this year, but we gave it a shot" Buras hopes to attend Azusa Pacific, Redlands, or Sonoma State Universities following completion of this semester.

According to Johnson, the Comets will improve next year by undergoing intense weight-lifting programs.

Comets lose heartbreaker

90-84

By Salvador Marquez Sports Editor In a season marked by blown leads and freshman mistakes, the Comets basketball team made life miserable for the Griffins of Grossmont College, 8-4 in the conference, in the Comets fmale, on Feb. 16.

Overcoming a 16 point lead, the home court Comets battled back with consecutive three-point bombs from freshman guard Nick Gebler and sophomore forward Mark Buras, making the score 8582, only to lose in the final 54 seconds of the game, 90-84.

The Comets finish their first year, under first-year head coach Richard Johnson, 6-20; 3-9 in the conference. Johnson will have most of this year's squad back next year, but with a season's experience.

"It's frustrating when you know you probably could have won," said Johnson.

"I think we left nine games on the floor this year."

For most of the first half, the Comets had difficulty penetrating the Griffins interior defense, and the Griffms led by as much as 12 points in the waning moments of the half.

But as the final six seconds were counted down, freshman guard Lee Delay's three-point attempt was fouled, giving the Comets guard three free throws.

Comets forward Mark Herman hustles for the loose rebound as freshman guard Kareem Miller waits for the result in the Comets last regular season game, which they lost in the fmal seconds 90-84. The Comets tenaciously came back within three after being as far as 14 points in the second half.

That golfer this year just might be Mike O'Leary, the team captain. Lusky calls him "an outstanding golfer and a good leader."

O'Leary, a graduate of Carlsbad High, was last year's team Most Valuable Player. His future goals include obtaining a scholarship to either Louisville or Oregon. After completing college O'Leary has his sights set on a career on the

Professional Golfers Tour.

Coach Lusky is designating O'Leary as team captain will be the first time he has given a player this honor. As O'Leary said, "I think last year's team had better golfers, but this year everyone is concentrating on the mental aspect that Coach talks about. And I believe that will make us a better team."

Judy Cater, director of the library, said that many library staff members still feel disappointed with Sullivan's findings. "I think there is still dissatisfaction with the way the numbers were run ... We had high hopes he would identify the situation or give suggestions on how to solve it and that just didn't happen."

But in another report, Ellis said that he has a theory that may explain Sullivan's findings. In a series of smoke tests, Ellis found that "air short-cycling" may be the source of the health problems. Air shortcycling theory holds that the supply air vents in the building may be positioned too close to the vents which return air back into the ventilation system. As a result, fresh or recycled air may not be circulating down to the employees at breathing level, and dust and sediments, which normally circulate up into the system, may be collected at breathing level.

Other studies for chemical agents or particles in the air of the library all tested negative, or below EPA standard.

Along with studies, the administration implemented changes that they hope will help alleviate health complaints. During the semester break, the college hired a new cleaning company, Bergensen's Property Management Services, which specializes in sanitizing buildings that house workers with health complaints. The company thoroughly cleaned the library and has been hired on a trial basis for six months to see if their daily cleaning helps alleviate the problem.

But the cleaning of the library did not stop with the areas that can be seen. The library's ceiling tiles were also cleaned since some mildew was found. In addition, air cleaners, which have special filters to clean air and eliminate odors, have been installed in several offices. Library staff who occupy these areas are being asked to alternate between two types of filters and judge whether one proves more effective in eliminating symptoms.

"We're not in any sense finished," said Cater. "If these steps don't correct the problem, then we'll keep looking. We care about the people and I think that's something that gets lost in some of the articles (on the library)."
