ADDITIONAL DEAN PROPOSED

A resolution calling for student evaluations of faculty members was approved Wednesday by the Associated Student Government.

Their vote followed a similar motion by the faculty senate last month.

On March 20 a joint meeting was held by the ASG and the Faculty Senate. To the best of the participants ' knowledge it was the first combined meeting of the two bodies.

Because of poor turnout by the student government, a motion could not be made by the ASG to approve the resolution.

In the past the evaluations and tenure of faculty members was handled by the administration.

Last June state legislation called for the evaluation and tenure system to be turned over to the faculty of the colleges. Palomar College was one ofless than half of the community colleges that met the July 1 deadline to form a program.

The joint senate expressed concern about how the evaluations are conducted and the need for students to remain anonymous.

Currently evaluations are in questionnaire form and are completed between the 1Oth and 14th weeks in the classrooms. Not all departments currently have students evaluate their teachers.

Although the students are not asked to sign their names on the

forms, faculty senators feel that is not enough to reassure the students remain anonymous. "Students feel threatened by the evaluations because they feel it can affect their grade. Even though they don't sign their names there is still the possibility that the instructor will recognize the handwriting of a certain student,'' said Pat Schwerdtfeger, faculty senator and coordinator for the evaluation and tenure program.

One suggestion brought up in the meeting was to give the evaluations to a clerical crew and have the results typed up. With this plan the anonymity of the students can be secured. Senators from both the ASG and Faculty Senate agreed with the idea.

According to Dr. Candi Francis, president of the Faculty Senate, in order to implement the change with the clerical crew and to further reaffirm and endorse the process of faculty evaluations, the joint committee will draft a resolution to go before the Governing Board in the near future.

Francis said it is not a perfect system, but it is the most efficient possible. She believes the evaluation process is invaluable to the students and to the faculty.

"The whole purpose is to help improve the faculty and make us all better teachers. In order to do this, we need to have these evaluations from the students themselves," said Francis.

Instructional reorganization on track despite reservations

By Mark Hopkins Contributing Writer Despite concerns raised by members of the faculty and staff at a meeting Tuesday, a proposal to reorganize the college's instructional areas may be up for Governing Board review as soon as next Tuesday with a vote by the Board at the following meeting.

The plan would add a fifth academic dean and shuffle a variety of departments into new divisions.

There are currently four instructional area deans at Palomar, with the deans of community education, humanities, science & business technology, and vocational

education reporting to the interim Vice president for Instruction, Dr. Phoebe Helm. ¡ The proposal stems in part from a recommendation to hire more deans made after a recent site visit by the Western College Association, which accredits institutions such as Palomar.

Accreditation means for students that courses taught meet certain academic standards and that credits earned from these classes are generally transferable to other colleges, such as the University of California or the California State Colleges.

Administrators also say the new structure will help streamline

workloads and facilitate more effective planning.

Money to hire the new dean will come from several sources, including "the collapsing of a director position," said Helm at Tuesday's meeting.

The director in question is Cynthia Poole, who has an interim appointment at the Escondido Center. Helm confirmed at the meeting that Poole first heard of her reassignment back to the counseling department, where she was chair, through the grapevine and Helm has both privately and publicly apologized that Poole was not told officially sooner.

The Telescope ran a feature on

March 15 where Poole described how she and her staff at Escondido had created "a cohesive unit that takes care of each other and (the) campus." The week the story ran, Poole was told by senior administration she would not continue as permanent director of the center.

Several members of the faculty voiced criticism at the meeting regarding what they view as a flip/ flop in the administration's priorities regarding administrative staffing of the Escondido Center.

Director of Extension Education, James Clayton, headed the center when it opened in Spring 1990 but was later replaced by (see SHUFFLE • page 5)

Absolution of old drop fees A proposal is under consideration by the President's Advisory Council to eliminate all drop fees current! yon the books. At a recent Council meeting Dr. Kent Backart, dean of student support programs, said an excess of $100,000 is uncollected. The amount has incurred over a span of many years Backart said.

The drop fees are being collected from students requesting transcripts and during registration. In order to complete the registration • process students are asked to pay the unpaid drop fees.

However, the other current policy regarding drop fees is to waive charges to returning students, continuing education students and students residing in convalescent homes. This waiver policy, members of the Council view as an added incentive, encouraging enrollment in a sector which needs special consideration.

The recommendation to give a blanket forgiveness to all fees owed is, in part, because the collection of the drop fees is not consistent, and the large amount of money which is still uncollected. Backart said, "Probably, what we are spending on paper work exceeds what we aregaining.'' Healsosaiditwould be more cost advantage in years to come if the passed fees were cleared off the books.

Dr. Dave Chappie, vice president of student services/assistant superintendent, said at the meeting, "It sounds like a lot of mo!}ey, and it is if we were going to collect it.''

Dr. George Boggs, superintendent/ president, concluded, "It seems to me even though a potential gain to the district of $100,000 and we never tried to systematically collect this money, to do it at this late date, we'd probably never see it."

Palomar must sacrifice in drought

By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer

Associated Student Government/Photo Courusy

Associated Student Government members recently visited local Congressman Ron Packard: (From left to right) Senator Timothy Platt, Treasurer Kevin Nesby, Senator Mette Urbach, Senator Jennifer Theis, Packard, Senator Nnambi Nnoli, Jr., ASG President Sean Nix, and Student Activities Director Jim Bowen.

Student representatives visit Wasington, D.C.

By Laura Woolfrey Staff Writer Six members of the Associated Student Government visited Washington D.C. before spring break to attend a conference where they lobbyed for a reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965.

ASG President Sean Nix, Senators Timothy Platt, Jennifer Theis, Mette Urbach, Nnambi Nnoli Jr., and Treasurer Kevin Nesby were the officers who attended the conference from March 15-18.

Urbach said that Palomar representatives were the first group from this district to lobby for the Higher Education Act at the capitol and said she felt that they were influential. "The California delegation had a vast impact on the senators and congressmembers' views according to the community college standpoint," said Urbach.

The Higher Education Act establishes many federal supported educational programs for higher education with most of the money going to student fi-

Nix said they had scheduled meetings with Congressmen Duncan Hunter (R- Calif.) and John Seymour (R-California), but did not speak with the them because the legislators failed to showup.ASGofficersdidspeak with the aides of the representatives but had different perspectives concerning the quality of the meetings.

One ASG senator said she was disappointed with Seymour's aide, Vicki Middleton. "She wasn't responsive. She didn't do anything, not even take notes," said Theis.

However, Platt and Urbach said that Middleton was their best contact. "I was impressed," said Urbach. "She wouldn't commit to anything but that is to be expected."

DirectorofStudentActivities Jim Bowen, who also attended the conference, said that ASG officers wrote Duncan and Seymour letters which required a response. "It will make them (see VISIT - page 12)

The vegetation around Palomar College may soon be sacrificed in an effort to conserve water for priority college functions. In the recent water conservation measures pamphlet put out by the Palomar Governing Board, these measures were outlined and a list of the major water users on campus were listed in the order that they would be shut down.

Mike Ellis, Director of Buildings and Grounds said that with the drought, not watering the plants seems imminent. "We don't really have a choice," he said. Palomar has already been operating on a 30 percent water cut, and the likelihood of another 50 percent cut to take effect in April may jeopardize several things that Palomar students take for granted, such as grass playing fields and showers. Though these would be among the last to go they are still an option.

John Woods, Director of Athletics, sent a letter to Ellis however pointing out the need for preservation of the playing surfaces. "With the obvious loss of grass surface the safety of our athletes and athletes from visiting colleges would be in jeopardy," said Woods "this would create a serious liability for Palomar College."

Steps that are being considered to save water include flow restrictors installed in water closets and urinals, a conversion of

high volume-high pressure irrigation sprinklers to low volume-low pressure irrigation sprinklers and mowing down and painting lawns with a green non-toxic lawn paint.

Among people worried about the loss of plant life around Palomar is life science professor Wayne Armstrong. "We owe it to the future not to let these trees die," he said.

He pointed out that a lot of Palomar's trees have been on the campus since its beginning, and that many are very valuable. In a letter that he sent to key Palomar officials he listed a few of the trees with a plea to consider their rarity and value for education. The brazil wood, ombu tree and paper mulberry are some examples and are seldom grown in California or even seen in the United States. "It would be a tragedy just to let these trees die out," stated Armstrong.

However,Ellissaidthathedoesn't want to see these trees die either and everything will be done in an attempttoprese'rve them. "We will hand water several of them until this is no longer possible," he said "but with the current rains it has not been that important."

Armstrong also thinks that the lawns on Palomar should be among the ftrst to go. "Compared to the perennial shrubs and landmark trees, the lawns are certainly expendable and could be replanted later when ample water is available," he said.

Other possibilities for water re-

stricti on besides the irrigation systems and athletic fields are nonessentialrestroom hot water,campus drinking fountains, water used in classroom Jabs and physical education showers. Ellis also said that water conservation efforts are being sabotaged in the locker rooms. "Someone is removing the water saver shower heads and also turning on all the showers early in the morning to create a hot steaming locker room," he said.

Ellis has proposed the possibility of drilling a well on campus. A drilling company that visited the campus said that there is a 50-50 percent chance of hitting water suitable for irrigation purposes. The cost to drill and test for water would be $7,000, and if water was found it would take an additional $25,000 to enlarge the hole and install all the equipment necessary to provide an operational system.

"This is an expensive project," said Ellis, "however. if you look at the loss of landscape and possible shutdown of classes, this well (if it comes in), could pay for itself in a very short time."

Ellis, however, said that once things start getting tight, water necessary for the educational process will take precedence over that used for aesthetic purposes. "Education is the main goal here," said Ellis, "Everything else takes back seat."

Palomar 'P' to be relimed

ASG gears up for 1991 spring elections

By Laura Woolfrey Staff Writer Associated Student Government President Sean Nix said he is hoping for a few "hardworking, goal-oriented" people to fill the seven positions on the senate which are now open for candidacy.

The positions include President, Vice President, Treasurer and four senatorial seats which are open to any student maintaining at least six units and a 2.0 grade average.

Deadline for application is April 8, the same day the last candidates briefing will be held, which will be in SU-21 at 11:30.

In the fall election of 1990 only 196 out of 25,000 students voted.

According to Senator Garret Whitehead, who serves on the government's Election Committee, in order to encourage and enhance students' awareness about Student Government, ASG will be sponsoring "Meet Your Candidates Day." According to Whitehead, the Election Committee may sponsor debates between candidates at the April10 event which will be held in the cafeteria.

ASG Senator Timothy Platt, who serves on the government's Election Committee said he feels there are many benefits to joining the student government "It's an opportunity to lead and to change things at Palomar for the better," said Platt who cited conference

trips as another advantage.

Despite the benefits of being a student representative, Whitehead said that a lot of work is involved.

"If you are going to be an effective leader, the time you spend in ASG will severely interfere with private and school time," said Whitehead.

"It's a hell of a lot of work."

Whitehead is not the first ASG officer to speak of time constraints with school work and ASG. Four ASG officers resigned last semester citing conflict of studies and student government duties.

ASG President Sean Nix said that there is a definite amount of work involved, "but the government is what you make of it," Nix said. He added that he will not be running for President next

term so that he can spend more time on his studies. He said he is undecided whether or not he will be running for a senatorial position.

ASG president also serves as student trustee and is paid $200 a month. Nix said that he is going to try to have the position split

State budget woes may be hazardous to Health Services

By Amelia Bowles Feature Editor California's fiscal crisis may prove unhealthy for Palomar's student health services program.

According to Jane Conway, director of student health services, unless they come up with alternative ways to obtain money, "we will not be able to continue operating the center as has been in the past." Though some ideas are in the making including one by the Chancellor's office to increase the health fee to $10 per semester, no

decision has been made as yet.

Even with the $10 fee, students will still be getting a bargain. According to Conway, the doctor and nurse visits will still be free, while off-campus it can cost a student as much as $75 for the same service.

"This year we gave away $1,500 in free medications, but due to the lack of funds, this may have to change and we may have to charge the students for these items,'' said Conway. For now, however, they will continue to give these items away but will soon start charging (see HEALTH • page 12)

Governing Board won't pay unexpected tax bill

By Darren Ane Staff Writer

After half a year of grappling with an unexpected quarter million dollar county tax bill, the Governing Board voted not to pay it at their March 26 meeting. · The San Diego Board of Supervisors voted to levy over $9 million in property tax collection fees upon local school districts last fall. Palomar was included in that decision and the county levied fees on the college amounting to $269,950. Palomar had not included the fees in their 1991 budget and is not prepared to pay.

To combat the problem, Palomar joined the Community College League of California in a

Shuffle

lawsuit against the county.

Palomar College Superintendent/ President Dr. George Boggs said in a press conference earlier this semester that the college would not pay unless it is forced to.

At the March 26 meeting, the board made its final decision to follow through with the lawsuit and not pay the fees. The board denied an invoice from the county auditor and controller for the $269,950 in fees for tax collection.

On March 12, several board members suggested ideas on how to handle the situation. One concern raised by Board Member Ben Echeverria was that if Palomar loses the lawsuit and is forced to pay, they will also be forced to pay late fines and interest

which could double the initial cost.

Echeverria suggested that the money be set aside in a separate account to gain interest and if Palomar loses, then that extra money would be available to cover the extra costs.

At the same meeting another board member, Harold Scofield, suggested paying the fees and then if Palomar wins the lawsuit they could get the money back. Boggs disagreed because he said it would htirt the school by making them appear weak which could hurt the case.

The board agreed with Echeverria and has voted to set aside the money in a reserve account until the issue is resolved.

With the elimination of a director specifically for Escondido, Clayton will resume responsibility for running it.

Professors, along with staff, were also critical of how money was found to fund a $92,500 budget for the fifth dean when administration says no monies are likely to be available for cost of living increases.

Helm is asking for input on the proposal from Palomar employees to take to President/Superintendent, Dr. George Boggs. · The Faculty Senate voted Feb 25 to hold off on implementing the reorganization until the fall of 1992.

Helm will leave Palomar in June with the permanent appoi~tment of Dr. Merrille Lewis, who is currently at San Juaquin Delta College in Stockton.

The ASG is seeking donations of the materials needed to complete the project but they are having some difficulty which Aikins believes is the result of the current economy. "I guess because of the bad economy construction companies haven't really contributed a lot. We have only received one case of paint but that will help quite a bit," said Aikins. The ASG will take care of all costs not covered by contributions.

Anyone interested in volunteering for the project can go to the ASG Office or the Student Activities Office where there will be sign-up sheets. All students and faculty members are welcome to join.

PRoTÂŁc.T AND S~R'JE.- L.A. 5\YL~

Student apologizes to Tony Bryan for school Dear Editor, Laura Woolfrey's story on Tony Bryan, "Life on the Outside," (The Telescope, March 15) struck me with loathing and genuine dismay. Boyd Mahan's attitude reflects what our society, which Palomar College seems to epitomize, has become: a calloused, homogenized place which, on the outside, has all the charm and compassion of a Charles In Charge sitcom, yet underneath the well-cultivated facade resides bigotry and impatience with people.

It seems Mahan doesn't even pretend to care, and his arguments why Mr. Bryan should not be allowed to live on campus are silly and innocuous. Mahan is concerned, for example, about the health risk of urinating and defecating under trees in the parking lot. Yeah? So? That's not really a problem. I've never stepped in a pile of crap; I don't know anybody who has. And I'm sure Bryan uses the facilities when he can. This is nota health risk, rather, it's a distraction from some real health problems plaguing this school, such as the unhealthy air in the Palomar Library.

Mahan thinks that if he allows Bryan to stay, every homeless person within the closest proximity will come here and want to stay. Even most homeless have a better option than Palomar.

Tony Bryan spent 11 years as a student at Palomar; he's involved in such diverse groups as the American Indian Organization, the Undefeated Club and the Biosphere Club.

The guydoesn 't bother anybody and hasprobablycontributed more to this school than most of the students. The few limes I've talked with him, I've found him to be an accessible and intelligent person.

To be candid, most people spend so Iittle time on campus to even notice him. And how many even knew he was living at the school? I think Mahan should take a trip to downtown San Diego. There are people sleeping on the sidewalks, using newspapers for blankets and children hungry and filthy. But we're not even talking about them; this is about one school, one man.

Tony Bryan is an interesting and lively character, exactly what this stale and conservative institution needs, and to force him to evacuate only mirrors with perfect clarity what this school really is: reactionary and afraid-afraid of Mr ..

Bryan and his way of living.

Palomar should be more than a stepping stone; it should teach more than history and science. It should also teach tolerance and understanding. But I doubt that's going to happen. Boyd Mahan represents the stance Palomar seems to be taking: cold, impersonal authority and bereft of any creative way to deal with its students.

So I apologize, Mr. Bryan, for the school and for Mr. Mahan. And I hope someday, and someday soon, they will understand people are not just sacks of skin holding bones, but individuals who need diverse and specific treatment.

Palomar has failed miserably in accomplishing this.

What do you lil<e most about Easter?

(Photos by Michael Bagstad)

Smile, police, you're on candid camera In recent times, I have found it very difficult to trust American law enforcement tactics.

The beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles reaffirmed that belief 10-fold. Watching the video of King's beating brought back to my mind the story of a friend of my parents' who was treated with unneeded hostility all because of a mistaken identity. I can't help but wonder how much of a savior a video camera would have been in that instance.

About six years ago, that friend along with her husband and dog, left a store in downtown Encinitas. As they drove, a sheriffs car followed them, pulled them over, came over to the car and took their guns out. They asked her husband to get out of the car. Once he was out, one of the officers threw him to the ground with enough force to bruise him, twisted his arms behind him and held him there. Meanwhile, his wife was still in the car, terrified at what was happening.

The other deputy had his gun pointed at her barking dog in the back seat, threatening to shoot it.

As soon as they realized that they had the wrong man, they let her husband go, bruised and scuffed, and simply left. The true horror for the couple was the fact that they had no idea why they were pulled over, or why brute force was used.

The officers simply left without explaining to my parents' friend and her husband why they had done what they had done-no real apology or explanation.

Perhaps the real tragedy of the whole situation was that she never reported the incident to the sheriffs department.

And in retrospect, it probably wouldn't have done much good. Two weeks ago, on a Nightline program on the King beating in Los Angeles, the president of a national police officers association said that anytime something similar to this happens it is the cop's word against the citizen's. And usually it is the cop's version that is taken for truth.

This is why I have a very hard time trusting cops and their tactics, whether when being pulled over for a traffic violation (like Rodney King) or controlled in a protest march.

One thing that I find so reassuring, however, are those citizens who have the guts to video tape such a tragic and unjust incident. King had a total of 11 skull fractures and a

Roman Koenig broken leg and eye socket to name a few of his injuries, all the result from police officers beating him without restraint even though he offered no resistance. And all of this would have gone unknown were it not for a man trying out his new video camera in the neighborhood. Without that tape, chances are the 21 officers who witnessed and took part in the atrocity would have found a way to get out of in trouble, because, again, it's usually the officer's word that is taken over the citizen's.

The same goes for another incident of police brutality nearly two years ago. A hidden camera caught the horrifying sight of a black activist who was pulled over for a traffic violation. The man had his head thrust through storefront plate glass window.

a

Isn, tit a sad reflection of our society when only extreme proof, like an actual videotape, can convince this nation that police brutality is a problem? It seems that the concern of citizens was ignored until officials could no longer avoid the facts, especially when they showed up on television sets all across America.

Out of my experiences in seeing and hearing of events like this, I can tell you one thing: If ever I'm pulled over for some reason, I'll feel a lot better if there's a video camera in use somewhere close by with someone behind it who has the guts to film if something goes wrong.

Message on a bottle tells of utopia

By Amelia Bowles

Feature Editor

Not far from Palomar's main campus is a very different soap factory owned and operated by a very different man. Like a fundamentalist preacher who, instead of using a pulpit, uses the labels on his soap product$ as his means of preaching, Dr. Emanuel Bronner and his philosoplry have survived 83 years of whatever life threw at

him.

The All-One-God-Faith soap factory sits unobtrusively on Mission Avenue in Escondido, but inside the building the purest castile soap is being made. And on this soap goes a label that reads like a new age bible.

Dr. Bronner's "Moral ABCs" are his religion and his life and he makes sure that all of it goes onto the soap labels.

Bronner is 83 years old; a thin, well tanned man with large square fingertips,

who speaks fervently of his beliefs in a soft but thick Gennan accent. Bronner comes from a long line of Gennan soap makers, and his title as doctor was adopted after he gained a degree in soap making. ''My objective is to replace communism, socialism with the Moral ABCs. So that we areallone,nogovemmentandnomarxism,'' said Bronner. "All One God Faith:" he says with an ademance that is not unlike Rev. Jerry Falwell.

According to Bronner the path to his utopia this is to set guidelines for cleanliness; thus the production of his soap and the use of its label to promote his idea. After all "absolute cleanliness is Godliness," he says.

However, getting his soap and his ideas across has not been an easy road to follow, accordingto Bronner. "lam GennanJew. When I was told that I could not be a soap maker, I proved everyone wrong and became one."

Bronner worked in his father's soap factory when the Nazis came into power.

Editor

Dr. Emanuel Bronner shows his famous soap bottle label along with another product that he offers. His products are natural and his soap is biodegradeable.

According to Bronner, when he was told to join the party, his reply was, "I am the son of the Boss (meaning God).'' He did not join the party and shortly thereafter left Gennany to settle with his family in Chicago.

Though in the beginning things went very well, by 1935 he was unemployed.

"That's when all the hatred started. I lost my job to anti-Semitism," he said.

Through the ensuing years he lived in poverty while working on his Moral ABCs philosophy and trying to sell the Pepper-

H

Dr. Emanuel Bronner, soap maker mint-oil soap he invented in the early 1930s. "I even slept on the roof of the YMCA for a while,'' he added.

Then came the '60s, and according to Dr. Bronner his soap and moral message began to get off the ground. The hippy movement discovered his product and found that the soap could be used for

everything from brushing teeth to washing the dog. It even will remove grease from a dirty engine. The label also proved to be interesting reading.

According to Bronner, he still gets letters from some of these people even though he didn't agree with the counter-culture movement. Bronner felt that the hippies were dirty both morally and physically.

The label on the largest bottle of soap is said to contain 6,000 words and the entire Moral ABCs doctrine. ¡According to Bronner the soap is all natural, biodegradable, and can be used in 18 different ways. "It has a very low pH content so it is excellent for sensitive skin,'' he said.

Dr. Bronner uses his product and practices his philosophy in his daily life. He said he uses his soap for bathing, brushing his teeth and as an after-shave and continues to work on his theories. "I was always changing the label when I felt that the truth was revealing something new to me. Now I do it on a yearly basis and may only change a few words,'' he said.

Although he is blind due to "shock treatments I received while in a concentration camp,'' he runs his business with the help of his wife Gladys and his son Jim. ''Making soap is only a means to make a living. My only reason in being here is to help unite the human race," he said. "All One God Faith or none," he say¡s.

Although his business is worth millions, Bronner lives a simple and modest life. He excercises daily and is an avowed vegetarian.

Bronner is resigned to the knowledge that he won't be appreciated until he is gone, but acknowledges that someday "people will realize I was speaking the truth."

Road loss Lady swim disrupts team stalk v'ballers' Pirates 5-0 spurt

By Teng Monteyro Sports Writer

In a conference of nine schools, the Palomar College women's swim team has managed to stay tough and dodge all but one opponent, and is tied for second place with San Diego Mesa in the Orange Empire Conference.

The only loss they have this season was handed down to them by the Pirate swimmers of Orange Coast College.

"In 14 years I've been at Palomar, Orange Coast has not been beaten in an individual meet," said head coach Patti Waterman.

Waterman remains optimistic on her team's chances against Orange Coast should they cross paths again in the championship meet.

"It would be quite an achievment for us to beat them, this could be our year," added Waterman.

In the meantime, the Comets are winning their way to that championship meet at the conclusion of the regular season.

"The (March 22) Saddleback meet was a very good meet, the last two events we were 20 points ahead," explained Waterman. "We won it, but it went way down to the nittygritty."

The Comets have four meets left in their season including one against San Diego Mesa.

Mesa only has 10 swimmers, so the Olympians will be spread out in different events in a dual meet against Palomar's 18 swimmers.

"We're going to have depth to beat them,"said Waterman.

"We have to use good strategy when we swim against Mesa."

Leading this year's team are sophomores Melissa Lynds, who was the league's MostValuable-Swimmer last year and Tracie MacDonald, last season's Most-OutstandingSwimmer.

The team's freshmen crop have already proven their worth, LeAnne Walther, has already broken the school record for the 50-meter breaststroke and came close twice in breaking the schoolrecordforthe 100-meter breaststroke. She also broke the meet record at the Mt. San Antonio College Invitational for 50-meter breaststroke.

Distance freestyle swimmer, Darcy Heironimus has yet to be beaten in a meet. According to Waterman Heironimus is also thefastestswimmerforthe 100meter butterfly.

The Comets top swimmer in the backstroke is sophomore Melanie Nelson.

they (Santa Barbara) just battled their way back against us and ended up winning the first game."

Despite the loss, the Comets are still ranked third in their division with an overall record of 10-3.

The loss at the hands of Santa Barbara snapped a five game winning streak that included victories over Santa Monica, Westmont, Los Angeles Pierce, Orange Coast and Golden West Colleges.

However, the three loses they have suffered this year, have been in Pacific Coast Conference play.

The one concern McFarland has is the team's overall play as the season comes to a close.

"As we try to make a play-off bid, I want us to play more consistently and aggressively," said McFarland. "We need to maintain our intensity."

Certain players have made their mark on the stat sheets: Rob Thomas leads the division in kills with an average of 5. 77 per game. Kirk Kinney is ranked eight with 3.786 per game. Chris Houk is seventh in blocks with 28 overall.

The Comets went against The College Of The Canyons team on Wednesday, at the Dome. The Comets have yet to play them this season but have won the only two games they have played each other.

Having won two of two from Mira Costa, Palomar wiU try for three, April 11.

the Comets had high hopes of a full week of games. But along with everyone else in Southern California they got rained-out.

An example of the Comets poor play against Mt. SAC is the seven run second, which came on just four hits, in the 8-3 loss. The rc~t came on three walks and a couple of costly errors.

"The mistakes really hurt us," said Comets manager Bob Vetter.

"If you takeaway the second inning it's a different ballgame, but you can not take away any innings".

The Comets will take on next the Gossmont Griffins, at Palomar, on April 9, and rematch MiraCosta, there, on April 11.

Laker critics: Hey, lighten up, the Lakers are still the team to beat Sports "experts" say the Los Angeles Lakers are dead. They were a great basketball team in the 80's, but now they're just another team in the NBA.The patented, "showtime" play has now turned into "slowtime", and that the Lakers just don't have what it takes to win anymore.

Such statements make me sick because the "experts", to put it lightly, don't know what they are talking about.

I can talk endlessly and emotionally in the defense of the Lakers, but for this article, I've decided to look at the post-80's Lakers in an objective point of view. Let's face facts, they haven't won the title since their back-to-back wins in 1988, and indeed the fastbreak offense they once perfected as a game plan has now dwindled. They are getting old, after all.

But has talent escaped the Lakers? In 1989,

Overtime Teng Monteyro they won the Western Conference Finals to once again represent the West in the championship series. But, said the critics, they dido 't win the World Championship title (how many teams win championships without their starting backcourt anyway?).

Well so ¡what if they didn't win? Twenty other teams dido 't even come close to getting to the finals. The following year, they posted the league's best overall record. Again the

critics say, "But they got knocked-off in the second round." You just cannot win for trying!

That was last year and this year is different.

The Lakers are now under a new head coach and a new system. When they started the regular season, they lost four of their first six games, they are just going downhill. Of course people fail to see is that since then the Lakers have established a season record of 16 straight wins, are currently fourth ranked overall (out of 27 teams), and are just half a game behind first place in the West. Aren't those numbers just sad? There are after all just 23 other teams who would give their million dollar payroll to Qe in that same spot.

So you so-called experts, before you start badmouthing the Lakers, think again, when the dust settles this year, you might just be calling them the team of the 90's.

The New York Mets wilihave to totally change their offense from a power game to a speed game with the departure of Strawberry and his 37 homeruns. Through they have the best pitching of the National League (and possibly the world), it will take time for the team to adjust to the new way of

American League East

American League West The Kansas City Royals should come second at the end of the season, this despite the loss of Bo Jackson, who was waived because of a hip injury suffered during an N.F.L. play-off game.

Reliever Mark Davis has to get back to old form (i.e. San Diego Padre days), and with the pitching tandem of Saberhagen and Gubicza, the Royals should hold their own throughout the season.

The Chicago White Sox (94 wins last year) should finish. at third place. Despite the additions of Tim Raines and Cory Synder, theChisox don't have enough power or experience to take the West.

The older and wiserCalifomiaAngels should claim fourth place. They suffer from another type of malady - not enough proven pitching., The Minnesota Twins will wind up at fifth. The Io$S of Gary Gajtti will hurt

making runs. Count on them for 1992.

The Chicago Cubs, with all their highpriced talent, has have to have to worst fielding outfield in the league, and possibly the worst fielding team of all.

Pitchers Danny Jackson and Dave Smith will bolster the staff, but the "Cubbies" will need more than just two pitchers.

However, if they get surprising efforts frpm Rick Suckliffe and Greg Maddux, and a rookie or two, they might take the Eastern flag.

The Philadelphia Phillies will be the surprise team of the National League.

With new stopper Mitch Williams, along with an aggresive offense led by Von Hayes, Lenny Dykstra and John Kruk, the Phillies might even challenge for third. But they are still years off.

Montreal has great pitching, but that's about it The offensive threat they have is in Andres Galaraga, who whiffs 100 times a season. Look for their pitching to fall flat.

What can you say about St. Louis? No Joe McCrane, no hitting, no players, no Whitey Herzog- looks like no season.

Writing ~bout baseballhas always been a major concern for me, I've always · thought of baseball as a boring and confll$ing spor{Making predictions for the 1991 Major League Baseball season has to be my worst nightmare yet.

So, to those baseball fanatics out there, if my picks for the outcome of the AmericanLeagueWestsoundridiculous, then you will know the.reason why.

At the top of the list will be the Oakland Athletics. Despite their performance last , year in the World Series (why is it called world series when only North America participates?), and the infamous contract disputes of certain players, the A's are still a very talented team. .

The way I see it is that there are only two things that are going to keep the Bosox from winning the division, bad pitching, and Jack Clark. And not necessarily in that order. But, they also need two things to insure the division, good pitching and Jack Clark.

Clark has resurfaced in Beantown to help the Sox try to win their first World Series since 1918. Disregarding what I personally feel about Clark, he is a leader, a person who is frequently used as an example or comparison, and basically a love-' em or hate-' em type of guy.

If this team can't play together (can you say "Padres", I knew you could) they will fall to fourth place. But I see Jack the Ripper hitting 30 home runs and getting 100 RBI's while the Sox take the pennant Say what you wUI about Clark, but I have always felt that you should not bet against "cocky" pl~yers who feel that they have something to prove .

The Baltimore Orioles made a perfect pick-up by trading for Glenn Davis. Davis puts a proven big-bat into the lineup that will allow Cal Ripken Jr. to see better pitches. The fine young pitching staff of

the O's will tell the tale for this season.

The new-look Toronto Blue Jays are a team with a lot of talent. Good hitting led

by Kelly Gruber, Joe Carter, and John Olerud. Good pitching from Dave Stieb and reliever Tom Henke. It will take time for the Bluebirds to jell and come together, too long for them to take first place.

The Cleveland Indians is team that I feel is on the rise. Sandy Alomar Jr. leads this young squad, but he will get help from base stealing sensation, Alex Cole.

There's only one thing that needs to be said about the Detroit Tigers: Cecil Fielder is not going to hit 51 dingers again. With their only big off-season addition being Rob Deer (a Zen Master of the "whiff') they did not improve at all.

The New York Yankees have their problems, but they still have Don Mattingly. Highly touted Hensley "BamBam" Meulens has got to tum out better than now part-time designated hitter Steve "Bye-Bye" Balboni.

The Milwaukee Brewers do not have enough players, and the guys that they do have must be getting tired of watching star players go down with injuries.

Welcoming visitors to the exhibit "Images: Works by Palomar College Photography Students" are (left to right) student Wynn Wilson and photo instructors Donna Cosentino and Robert Barry. The show closes tomorrow at 6 p.m. and is located in the Gailey Photo Building, 118 Grand Ave. in Escondido.

do their work," said Bowen about the politicians. He added that ASG officers learned this "lobbying strategy" at the conference.

Although ASG officers were not able to speak with the representatives, they intended to, an unplanned opportunity did arise to speak with Congressman Ron Packard (RCarlsbad), according to Bowen. ''I'm surprised the guy took time to talk to us without notice," said Bowen.

Platt said the meeting with Packard "reaffirmed our position on educational issues," referring to a recent meeting that Senator Laine Trigas and Vice President Rob Aikins had with Packard.

Urbach had a different opinion of the meeting with Packard. "I was disappointed with Packard because he didn't know as much about the bill as I did," said Urbach, who said that Packard's aide was also lack-

ing knowledge about the bill. Said Urbach, "They were just clueless."

ASG officers say that they will continue lobbying for the reauthorization of this law, which expires on Sept. 30,1991.

Many ASG officers expressed discontent with the organization of the conference, which was sponsored by United States Student Association. "I was upset with the organization," said Theis. "The speakers were not professional and didn't come with the information we needed."

Platt said that he was greatly disappointed because the conference was supposed to focus on educational issues. ''Most issues addressed were not pertinent to the conference," said Platt, who cited gay/lesbian rights, communism, and abortion as some of the topics included.

Urbach said she agreed. "The issue should be on effects on educational access," said Urbach. "Something tangible that we can deal with."

Although attending officers had varied opinions on aspects of the conference, it was unanimous that field hearings were the highpoint of the trip.

"It was the most impressive event that the organization put on as a whole," said Theis.

"The students who testified were excellentand had very solid cases."

The field hearing gave a chance for a panel of nine students, chosen from the 32 states represented, to express their concerns to members of congress about the importance of reauthorizing the Higher Education Act. The student lobbyists testified in front of various senators and congressional representatives in the Cannon building on capitol hill.

"The hearings were very moving," said Nix.

"Our health services are a full compliment and we need a way to keep it going since the state is out of money,'' she said.

Some schools have already lost their health services due to lack of funds, Conway added.

According to Conway, in 1983 Palomar College's Student Health Services began offering everything from free physical exams to aspirin. All the student was required to pay was a $5.50 health services fee.

In 1991, the $5.50 fee is still in existence, as are the complete services. The fee has never been raised despite rising inflation, said Conway. However, she added "the cost of maintaining this high level of care has risen incredibly." She said that what i{ used to cost for an hour of nursing care would today only pay for 15 minutes of theirtime.

According to Conway, doctors and nurses services are paid for by the college and without the money from a law passed in 1983 the school could not afford to do this.

The Johnston bill mandated additional funding to maintain health support services for schools. Because the state felt that health services for students was so important, the bill was designed to provide extra money to schools to keep health services running if they went over budget. The bill also states that college student health services must maintain the standard of operations that was being used in 1983 in order to obtain this money.

Conway warns however that with no money at the state level the Johnston bill cannot save them. "Since the state is broke we now will have to operate at our own budget level and this year it is estimated that we will be over budget by $45,000," she said.
