Students 'meet That winning feeling their candidates' at pre-election forum

By Laura Woolfrey Staff Writer

All candidates running for seats in the Associated Student Government agreed at Tuesday's "Meet Your Candidates Day" that achieving student unity at Palomar is a major goal.

"I want to bring students closer together," said Vice Presidential candidate Paul Alexander. "The student apathy is terrible on campus."

Alexander said he "definitely intends to solve the problem," of the absence of ::.<.:hoot spi1it. He said one way of encouraging students is to improve communication between the students and their government.

Candidate Candye Caleb said she agrees and said she thinks one way to improve public communications would be through pamphlets. "Maybe then we won't be so lazy and we will vote," said Caleb.

The six potential student representatives, running for the seven seats available, were posed questions by Senator Garrett Whitehead, who serves on the ASG Election Committee. The questions asked pertained to candidates' goals, qualifications and dedication to the ASG. Candidates for the executive positions are presidential candidate, Senator Erik Johnson, and vice presidential candidate Alexander. Candidates to fill the four senatorial positions include

Denny Ngo, Caleb, Lowell Kepics and Lydia Zepeda. Currently, there has been no interest expressed in the position of treasurer.

Goals of candidates varied with Alexander stressing environmental issues and Zepeda expressing concerns about equal racial representation within the government.

"I haven't seen a lot of minorities in the government," said Zepeda who is president of MEChA, a Mexican-American culture group. "That's why I'm running, to represent my people in a leadership position."

Johnson said his main concern lies in bringing students together and feels he can do just that. ''I'd like to think of myself as a leader and that's why I'm running for president," said Johnson.

On a lighter note of aspirations for the government, Caleb said she hopes to form an entertainment committee which could provide regular musical entertainment at Palomar. Caleb, who provides vocals for a local band, said this could be a possible solution to student apathy. "Maybe if there were bands, students could stand around and talk to each other and be friendly," said Caleb. "Students can unify through music."

Despite the varied goals for the next term, all potential student representatives, along with Whitehead, agreed that conquering student apathy is the most significant issue to be addressed.

Whitehead reprimanded students (see CANDIDATES¡ page 3) .

Book drive started to help feed starving minds in South Africa

By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer

Michael Bagstad!Piwtography Editor

Students and staff taking part in the donation of books to South Africa are (top, 1-r) Kiyoji Taira, Palomar Counselor and coordinator of the book drive Michael King, Jason Schott, co-coordinator Lyle Jorgensen, Elizabeth Balsitis, Tim Rice. Bottom (1r) Mika Suzuki, Bradford Willoughby, Pakao Okuyama, Akiko Hasegawa, Patricia Constante, Kenneth Vinson, Diane Taylor, Diana Kyle.

A plea has gone out to Palomar College students and faculty to share what they have with the University of the North in Pietersburg, South Africa- a college that is in dire need of textbooks.

The request comes from counselor Michael King, who on his recent sabbatical to South Africa, agreed to help the university. A giant container, which will be brought to arrive on campus soon, will be shipped back to the university at the South African students' own expense.

The University of the North, a predomi-

nantly black college, had just 1,000 books for 20,000 students. "The students took me into their library and pointed at the bare shelves," said King. "They asked ifl could help."

King said that the previous library had been burned down by a militant black group who had deemed the teaching material as propaganda. "The books which taught inferiority of the dark races had become symbols of oppression and racism," said King.

Lyle Jorgensen, who is a student at Palomar, has been coordinating much of the publicity for the book drive, and has posted flyers around campus asking for donations. (see BOOK DRIVE- page 3)

Car break.-ins doubled during spring semester Campus Patrol Director Boyd Mahan cites recession as factor

By Stacy Alessio Staff Writer

Teri Kane/Staff P/u)tographet-

Candidatesfor Associated Student Goverll.lpent positions are (from left to right) Paul Alexander, running for vice-president; Lydia Zepeda, senator; Eric Johnson, running for president; Denny Ngo, senatori Lo"'odl ~~pies, senator; aQd Ca~dye Caleb,isenator. Current senator G<trrett Whitehead, standirig at the podium, moderated the "Meet Your Candidates'' forum this week.

E:an.didates " (continued from page 1) ar the forum for their lack of involvement.

"The apathy is disgusting," said Whitehead addressing stu.. dents in the cafeteria. "The lack of involvement is pitiful.''

At the end of the forum, studentJason Ford took the opportutiity to also scold students.

Said Ford, "There is no sch<;>ol spirit ladies and gentlemen; non~ at alL" Ford, who is a member of Palomar's volleyball team, encouraged students to attend the team's last l;10me game which took place Wednesday evening.

Although students and can-

,.,

didat~ had a lot to say regarding student enthusiasm, Election Committee Chairman Senator Timothy Platt Said he feels that most of the candidates are gtiilty of apathy themselves.

According to Piatt, only two candidates campaigned this election, Ngo and Caleb. Platt said he feels that candidates are confident about winning because they are running unopposed. However, Platt said the yery students "complaining" about student involvement are making the situation worse and are actually lowering student vote tum-out by showing lack of enthusiasm.

Bool< drive (continued from page 1) "These students can't buy books because of the sanctions," said Jorgensen, "We are asking Palomar students to search their homes for used textbooks and encyclopedias and give what they can."

King traveled to South Africa last November to investigate the conditions of the country's educational facilities. The fact-finding tour was arranged by the Southern African Forum, a group that keeps tabs on the condition of the country, and conducts tours for foreign correspondents.

"I did not expect to visit one of their major educational facilities," said King, "and once I got there I was surprised at how big and modern it was." He said students typed requested menus into a computer to get a majority vote for the next day's lunch.

With the sanctions against South Africa, King explained that the college was not able to buy replacement books, so they have been

doing without. "The dean of the school told me that other visitors had promised to send books, but none had produced," he said. "I want to show them that Palomar College cares."

The book drive, which started this week, is set up next to the flagpole as the collection point.

King said that the drive, which will run for two more weeks, is going "surprisingly well" with approximately 35 boxes of books donated so far. He said books are being received from several sources, including many college departments, private citizens and also donations from a local Indian reservation.

Though the response has been quick and gracious, it doesn't surprise King. "I expected this response because I think that Palomar has a lot of goodwill," he said.

Diane Kyle, a student volunteer, said that sbe is pleased with the good response. "It is nice to see students helping others," said Kyle.

"Here tbey are concerned: about student .apathy and they are so apathetic themselves," said Platt.

The forum took place this . week after being postponed last Wednesday due to lack of equipment. Election results were unavailable at press time but will be posted today around campus.

Results of the election were not available at press time.

They will be published in the next issue of The Telescope, May 3. Results will also be posted around campus on Monday.

"I think that everybody wants to help." Kyle said that people are telling friends and the word is getting around. "We even had a donation from the alumni of SDSU." Dr. Ramona Col wen, Chairman of the Math Department, said the event came at a "rather convenient time.

"We were suffering from a terrible lack of space in our department," Colwen said. "We were storing boxes of books in one of our teacher's office."

King says that his trip to South Africa was very encouraging.

"There have been some real changes," he said. "I saw a lot of good will on the part of whites who wanted to know ifthey were doing an ¡right."

King said he hopes that with constant encouragement, a peaceful solution to the apartheid problem will come about. "They are very serious about change," he said.

King said when the bin of books is shipped to South Africa, he wants a poster of Palomar students in action handing over books. "I want them to know that Palomar keeps a promise," he said.

Auto break-ins on campus have more than doubled since the beginning of the semester.

Although Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd Mahan said that there is no single reason for this, he believes it is in part a result of the recession.

According to Mahan a lot of people are out of work with nothing to do, and says that he knows from experience that boredom can often lead to trouble, "When I got in trouble when I was young, it was because I had nothing to do."

Another factor, said Mahan, is that Palomar has only one campus patrol vehicle. "When the thief sees the van leave the parking lot, they know that it will not be around again until its next round." Mahan said school authorities are looking

into purchasing another van.

Currently the last four break-ins have occurred in Lot 9, but Lot 12 is also a frequent target. Mahan attributes this to the largeness and complexity of the lot, "There are a lot of entrances and exits in Lot 12, so if they (the thieves) see Campus Patrol coming it is easy to lose them and get out."

Luther Ballu, a student whose car was broken into twice in one week, said he would "feel safer parking his car in Watts." Ballu said he believes that it was the same person who broke into his car both times.

Most of the cars have been locked, and the windows or doors have been broken. The main targets are stereos, said Mahan.

And while Mahan said he does believe in alarms, most people just keep walking when they hear one go off.

Board passes proposal to dig well for campus

By Jennifer London Staff Writer Due to the mandatory water cutbacks, Palomar has been forced to seek additional means for getting water besides the Vallecitos Water District. The Governing Board recently passed a proposal that has granted the school permission to dig a well in the front of campus.

The well will provide water for the fields, plants and trees on campus.

Michael Gregoryk, vice president for finance and administrative services, said that, "the well water will be used as a supplement to the Vallecitos Water District."

According to Gregoryk a test well will be dug first, to see if there is water, and if it is usable.'" We need to see what the salt content is and if it is acceptable," explained Gregoryk.

Cheerleaders high on success after national win over again, and next year she hopes they will be a little more mentally prepared.

Miller said she believes most of the squad will return next year, "and we will be awesome."

The squad's last performance this semester as a group was April17 at the San Diego harbor where they helped "Greet the Fleet."

This time instead of cheering for the Comets, they cheered U.S. sailors returning from the Persian Gulf.

The national cheerleading championships will be televised on ESPN in early May.

By Stacy Alessio Staff Writer Palomar's cheerleaders returned home this week from the national United Cheerleading Association championship with the third place trophy. The Comets cheered their way to victory after competing against four-year college and university squads.

"People are always surprised when they discover that our team is from a two-year community college," said Jim Burns, coach of the Palomar College Comets.

The Comets were the only two-year college team selected to attend the April 6 competition which was held in San Antonio, Texas. Five squads were chosen out of more than 200 entries from around the country, based on a videotaped demonstration of a two-and-half minute cheer routine.

At the competition, each squad performed a routine to music and were judged on the crowd participation they invoked, difficulty of the routine, technical skill, and stunt sequence.

According to cheerleader Erica Miller, the hardest part was not the routine, however. "The hardest part was waiting to go on and waiting to see what we placed," she said.

Despite all the pressure, squad members said they were not very nervous once they began to perform. "I was a little nervous in the morning, but once we got on stage, the adrenaline took over and we did what we had to do," said Erik Johnson.

First place went to cheerleaders from Mississippi. "The other squads were really good, well trained, and dedicated," said cheerleader Shaun Dee VanderMate.

"Back East," VanderMate continued, "the routines are much slower, in California they are faster, more upbeat We take half the time they do to set up a stunt, but they're cleaner than we are."

The Palomar College cheerleaders won first place last month in the California State Championship and placed third in the nation for Division II colleges last week in the United Cheerleading Association competition held in San Antonio, Texas. The winning Palomar cheerleading team are (top) Keri Brubeck; (middle row, left to right) Shaun Dee VanderMate, Carmen Howland, Jennifer Waardenberg and Erica Miller; (bottom row, left to right) Jonathon Abbott, Erik Johnson, Jennifer Otwell, Paul Groom, Fred Rodi, Jim Terral, Sherri Fields, Jeff Fetrow and Reggie Ingram.

The team also had a lot of problems with turnover in the squads membership, said Miller. "We would have done a lot better but the team was fluctuating so much, not much got set in concrete for a long time."

Despite all their, problems the team said

Library looks to update book circulation

By Greg Ives and Willie Marks Contributing Writers Library lovers rejoice. Negligent book borrowers beware. The automation of the Palomar Library is in the works.

A request to fully automate the Palomar College Library and Media Center was presented to the Governing Board members, at a meeting on March 26. "We're still circulating books the same way as it was done in the 60s, the 1860s," declared Judy J. Cater, the director of the Library Media Center.

The plan is to install a state-of-the-art computer system for the campus library which will be compatible with the systems at U.C. San Diego, U.C. San Marcos, San Diego State and other major colleges.

Automation would have an initial cost of $388,551 and a yearly cost of $19,973 for the main campus, and a cost of $1,360 for each branch library. "The large cost is due to the fact that the system is very sophisticated and difficult to program," said Cater.

Each student would be issued a magnetic card that would allow access to materials at (see CIRCULATION· page 5)

they were pleased with their performance.

"It wasn't a matter of what our coach prepared us with, but what we did with it," said VanderMate, "and I feel really good about what we did in there."

According to Miller they would do it all

The two other events, in which MEChA members will raise the majority of money, include a formal banquet fund-raiser and a Cinco de Mayo booth to be set up on campus, May 4.

Up to $4,000 may be raised through MEChA efforts, said Valdez, and half of this will go to the club's scholarship fund. An April 28 meeting at the Valdez home will determine when the banquet fund-raiser, which MEChA predicts will raise the most money, will be held.

According to Cater, a similar system already in use at the MiraCosta College campus has proved to be an asset for the students there.

The system would incorporate all the library's books and their borrowers on a computer. This will help a student track down books with greater ease, she said.

"Rather than searching to see if a book is available, they will fmd out right away on the computer," said Byung Kang, a library staff member. "It will also tell them if a book is due to return."

As a result of the new system, the library staff would be available to help the students. "The staff will be free from monotonous paperwork which the current system creates," explained Cater.

"This will give them more time to pursue negligent book borrowers a nd keep an e ye o ut for vandalism," she added.

However, before the plan is accepted, it must be sent to the district to determine priority, according to Cater. The next step would be to have the proposal investigated by Ass is tan t Superintendent/Vice President, Fi nan ce and Administrative Services Mike Gregoryk as well as Palomar Superintendent/ President Dr. George Boggs' assistant Terri Barr.

Senator asks students to get involved in ASG Dear Editor, During this week, A.ssociated Student Government (ASG) elections for 1991-92 academic session were held. There has been, in the past, low student participation in the elections. According to the Telescope, out of over 25,000 . registered students enrolled presently at the college, only about 300 voted during the fall 1990 student governrnent elections. This is a very sad situation.

Apart from the fact that there is a lack of student participation in the ASG, there is a general apathy and lack of awareness of the crucial role of the student governrnent, as well an urgent need for greater student involvement in the ASG. Among all the opportunities that await students in today' s ASG, the opportunity to learn how to lobby is the most beneficial. Students in the ASG can now learn how to lobby at both the state and federal level. They use this knowledge to fight for legislative issues that primarily concern students. I recall the exciting experience I had at Capitol Hill in March when I met Congressman Ron Packard. This was made possible due to my active involvement in the ASG. Greater opportunities such as these await the bright students who not only excel in academics, but distinguish themselves by acquiring leadership characteristics from the ASG. Another opportunity, that shows the need for greater student participation in today' s ASG, is the fact that students now serve in various college committees, and help decide on ways the campus is governed. This is probably the most effective means of representing students. A good example · of this situation is the current position of the president of the ASG, Sean Nix, as a member (Student Representative) of the Presidential Advisory Council. In this capacity, he participates in formulating policies that govern the college.

He also shares ideas with the Governing Board. Yet, he is just a student.

It was just of recent that the state legislature approved student participation at the Educational Policy Board and thus gave us the right to vote in legislative issues that concern students. This really shows that the ASG has come a long way. Now is therefore the best time for students to play important roles in the ASG. With these benefits in mind, it is pretty obvious that students have currently broader opportunities to achieve their career through active participation in the ASG. Does anyone still query the wisdom of publicizing ASG activities to encourage more student participation? I hope not.

The need for more student participation and involvement in the ASG has never been so clearly emphasized as it is today. Around the campus, especially within the cafeteria, there are numerous postings and notices all showing ASG activities. Each of these encourage students to get involved in the leadership positions available to them.

While the elections are over for this year, it is not too late to become involved with the ASG. Hopefully next year, there will be many students who will not only vie for positions in the ASG, but will take up various leadership positions. This is my appeal to all students!

Don't murder; revive the ASG Associated Student Government Senator Garret Whitehead is petitioning to disband the ASG because he feels that students no longer care about student representation. In looking at this proposal, however, one question comes to mind: If students don't care about the student government, will they care enough to sign a petition calling to disband it? Instead of the dissention of one senator attracting attention to the problem through dramatic actions, the ASG as a whole should go out and fmd out exactly why people on this campus don't care about the group.

Over the last few years, student turnout for ASG elections has been dismal. This fall, only 196 students out of a college population of near! y 25,000 voted. At this time last year only 150 students voted for president, vice-president and senators. On top of this, for this year's spring elections, only one person ran for president.

Whitehead's assumption that no one at this school cares for or about the student government seems to have merit Other student government members this year, in fact, have resigned because they saw their time as being wasted on a cause that students held with very little regard.

This year's first ASG vice president, Jason Van Foeken, resigned citing this very reason. "A lot of people really don't give a crap about the student government," he said. "The student body just goes to school and doesn't care about anything else. If more people would have expressed more desire to get involved in the student body, then I might not have quit."

Van Foeken's parting words show exactly why Whitehead's attention-grabbing attempt will fail. Of course his plan is meant to attract attention to the problem, but if people don't care about the student government in the first place, they will not bother to disband it, either.

Instead, the ASG at Palomar College should focus as a group on exactly why people don't care. The student government would probably gain more recognition if its government members went out to the students and asked them

P.O.V (Point of View) Roman Koenig why the ASG is unimportant to them. They should solicit input on how the student government could solve this problem. Through an effort like this, the ASG will know first-hand what students expect of them and develop ways to make the government more visible to students as an important part of campus life.

Another way the ASG could gain recognition would be through the development of a delegation of ASG officials to establish a student government presence at the satellite campuses.

Just this week, the ASG held a candidates forum for the people running for office. This element is very important in an election, but did the ASG hold one at the Escondido satellite center? Or how about the Mt Carmel or Camp Pendleton centers? Do the students at these centers know the ASG even exists? It wouldn't be surprising if the majority of the students attending these. satellites don't If the student government hopes to push its voting success above 196 people, it must be willing to extend its hand out to these other students who do not attend classes at the main campus. By doing this, perhaps the ASG will earn the support it needs and deserves.

That's right The respect and support of the students must be earned.

Whitehead's attempt at gearing attention towards the problem of student support is dramatic, and perhaps needed.

But if support continues going in the direction it has in the past, he will have a tough time getting enough signatures to disband the very group that needs help.

While Whitehead has focused attention on the problem, the student government must survive and not be killed off.

Instead, the ASG, itself, should be willing to earn the students' respect and support through a focused group effort. One doesn't cure the sickness by killing the patient, although in this case it is a virtual given that the attempt will beD.O.A. The Telescope welcomes all letters to the editor.

1HE WAR IS OVER, BUT FOR HUMANITARIAN RE~SONS,PRESlPENT 7RUMAf.J HA~ ALLOWEP HITLER TO REMAlN IN OFF.lCE

ANP KESP HIS PeATH CAMPS OPEN,

u.s.路 racism pales to rest of world

By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer As the heavy and dirty carpet of communism is peeled off Eastern Europe, we are finding several disturbing facts that had been swept under the rug so to speak. All the problems which were not supposed to part of a "worker's paradise," be they economical, social or environmental, have been revealed as being worse than imagined.

One such problem is that of racial equality. While in the United States, there are always possibilities for compromise and integration, other countries are permanently paralyzed by racial strife. It is time for American citizens to at least acknowledge the possibilities for a fair society that are inherently a part of our social framework, and not that of other countries.

Ethnic battle lines have been drawn in several countries like Yugoslavia where Serbians, Croatians and several other groups are pushing for their own countries. The Croatians have gone so far as to boycott all payments to the federal Serbian government thereby pushing the country towards economic collapse. These people want no less than the disintegration of Yugoslavia, and the establishment of their own countries-drawn by racial lines.

These differences are deep and ancient, and have simply stagnated for a while under the the rule of communism. In fact, it was probably the clumsy and brutal way in which communist governments tried to dehumanize and clone its subjects into faithful workers devoted to the "state" that caused the people to cling to identity even more, and blame other groups for their problems.

As we see these hatreds boil over now, maybe we can appreciate living in our "imperialistic" country just a little . more. For all its problems, we are an amazing amalgamation of people. That so many different types of people should be able to get along and be productive is an amazing feat which we owe to the wisdom of our founding fathers and our constitution. To appreciate this fact is not to be a blind flag waver, but a properly informed and appreciative individual.

Do you think celebrating Earth Day helps us improve the environment?

Racial problems here in America are discussed and argued while in other countries they threaten to tear it apart While we debate affirmative action and minority scholarships, we never question a race's right to have as much as everyone else, or even their right to exist in our country. This is not the case in other parts of the world.

The tolerance and openness to other ideas and cultures which we take for granted is a much sought virtue in many countries. It is a frightening thing that ideas of repression similar to communistic-socialism is still being taught by many as being synonymous with liberation. For example, many colleges have actually implemented rules restricting speech which could be construed as rascist. This year, at Brown University, one intoxicated student was expelled for yelling slang words about homosexuals, blacks and jews, even though they were directed to the night air, and no one around him. While the university was well-intended, expelling the student mirrors the repression tactics of communist societies and will, in the long run, only result in restricting free speech while not stopping minority suppression. The United States is simply not a nation which needs such extreme and reactionary measures to integrate our society.

The world must learn that the best way to promote ethnic and racial harmony is not to regulate and force it on people, but rather to allow individual success and achievement.

When a person is happy with his own position in life, he is usually a lot more tolerant or even generous with others.

Over and over we hear about how bad our racial conflicts are, when, if we compare the United States with other societies, we should realize that our situation is far from explosive. The mechanisms-freedom, democracy and individual choice-are here to allow success if people use them. While racial problems do of course exist, our culture is defmitely upward mobile, and our system, unlike those of other countries, leaves success up to the individual.

Let's not kid ourselves with reactionary measures supposedly out to aid the whole of society. If we rely on such tactics, maybe we will find that our collective efforts have merely ended in collective repression.

Political Science "Yes, first, it brings us to an awareness of environmental problems.

Then, it brings us to an awareness of the need to solve the problems that exist."

Political Science "Yes, because it gets a lot of people aware of what is going on-the special things that are fun to do to get people involved."

There goes neighborhood; Hussein may win the war

By Salvador Marquez Sports Editor

Picture a situation in the town Everyday, USA. A police officer is radioed to a disturbance in a neighborhood that has been his beat for 20 years. He knows the neigh b9rhood, even taught a few of the locals how to properly shoot their sidearms.

When this police officer arrives, what should he find but one of the neighborhood men assaulting and raping a helpless neighbor with the same weapon the officer taught him to use.

After punishing this man thoroughly, the officer returns him to his frightened wife at his home. Now, any competent police officer- pretend this isn't Los Angeles- could see that the rapist will soon tum to his wife, who by tomorrow will be another statistic.

It's time to lock the mad rapist up.

This situation parallels that of northern Iraq. Saddam Hussein (the mad rapist) deserves to be declared the winner of Operation Desert Storm if he continues to lead Iraq at the expense of the annihilation of the Kurds (the wife), and the destruction of Kuwait (the helpless neighbor). If the United States expects to bask in victory, we must frrstactually end the war through assisting the Kurdish people.

Didn't the United States enter the war to save Saudi Arabia because Hussein was such a monster that he gassed 3,000 Kurds, who were citizens of his own country? Can mercy be expected from such a man - or did the monster suddenly have some kind of religious experience?

Furthermore, what happens 10 years from now with Hussein still at the helm of oil-rich Iraq and the arms industry - the most survivable next to the illicit drug industry- robust as ever? It doesn't take an Einstein to add one and one together and come up with a frightening equation.

But in the Kurds, America has a chance- albeit smallto see democracy in the Middle East. However, with a thousand Kurds dying daily, it is important for them to frrst have the possibility to live to see that day.

During Operation Desert Storm, America showed the world its military might and prowess. Half a million troops are not even needed this time to topple the mad Iraqi leader and give birth to a Kurdish republic. The United States has elite corps -like the Green Berets, SEALS, Rangerstrained for these kind of insurgency roles.

Otherwise, the detractors of the winter war must have been right; we didn't fight for democracy, but for oil.

Kuwait has oil; Iraq wanted to control it all and make us pay inflated prices for gas, so we went to war. If the detractors are right, then wars are only fought for God, country and Oldsmobiles.

The Kurds have no oil, but they have a dream for democracy. Although this may make a few self-righteous protesters sick, we built Hussein up militarily and it is our responsibility to take him down. We caused the chaos in Iraq; it's now our mess to clean up.

Otherwise, the only thousand points of light President Bush will see will be of the funeral pyres lighting up the northern Iraqi sky.

Fashion with colorful creativity Palomar student combines silks and dyes in an explosion of vibrant color

By Jennifer London Staff Writer The fashion world is a tough and com petitive business for anyone to break into. It requires, talent, perseverance, the resources and a new, original idea.

For one Palomar student, however, the difficulties of entering the fashion world have not stopped her from creating her own unique designs.

Susan D'Vincent, learned the art of silk painting while vacationing at a Club Med resort in Mexico. D'Vincent's bright blue eyes gleam as she remembers, "that is what really fascinated me. I spent all my time there. Forget the beach. I wanted to learn silk painting."

An article D'Vincent read while at Club

Med sparked an idea. "Gee, there might be some potential for a home based business," she recalls. D'Vincent took thatideaandran with it. When she returned home she used all her resources to locate places where she could get her own materials and begin painting silk by herself. This was the beginning of a venture, that even she did notrealizewould become fullfilling and financially rewarding.

D'Vincent with a bright, bubbly smile, explains the steps involved in creating her striking silk designs. The art of silk painting begins with the fabric and the dye. After the fabric is washed and stretched onto the frame, D'Vincent begins the painting process on the fabric. Once she is satisfied, she stearns the silk in a steamer, that she designed, to set the dye. Then the material is sent out to be

sewn. "I don't consider myself a designer, I am an artist," she said.

The clothes she creates are vibrant, sensual, free flowing, skirts, dresses and scarfs. The colors run together like a water color painting of the ocean or of desert sands. Vibrant blues to soft reddish brown hues are swirled onto the silk in soft flowing arches that gives the fabric a dreamy look. The style is like that of the fine lines of an Italian sports car, smooth and definitely decadent.

D'Vincent began selling her work through San Diego Art Wear, once she was admitted into the club. "It wasn't easy. They liked my work, but said the sewing was the pits," she says as she chuckles. D'Vincentrealized that there was a lot to learn in running your own business and that is what initially brought her to Palomar.

When she realized that her main weakness was in marketing her product, she enrolled in a fashion industry and fashion marketing class. "I heard that the fashion department at Palomar was excellent and I figured that I could learn the skills that I lacked." D'Vincent will have a chance to show off her talent in a showcase fashion show to be held on campus May I. Although D'Vincent has strayed from her original degree in zoology received at San Diego State University, she has turned a dream of hers into a profitable reality. "I have found that it is never to late to realize a dream and conquer it. You just have to stick with it."

D'Vincent uses a large brush to apply the dye to the fabric. Depending on which size brush she uses, she can blend and swirl the dye to create her patterns.

Susan D'Vincent stretches a piece of silk fabric across a frame so that she will be able to finish painting her design. The color used in this piece is a deep reddish-brown.

Gathering several bottles of dye, D'Vincent prepares to mix them together in order to to achieve the color she wants. The dye is then painted onto the silk fabric.

Here the final product is being modeled by the artist herself. Some of D'Vince~t's creations sell for $500 or more. Each outfit is sheer silk and hand dyed by the artist.

Palomar College was recently host to the Special Olympics held on April 13.

With all the flourish and fan-fare of the regular Olympics, the games are designed to allow people with handicaps to go for the gold and. do their personal best.

This yearly event invites participants from all over Southern California and this year's event attracted over 300 athletes.

The athletes participated in events from a variety of sporting areas, including a softball game complete with uniforms.

Chris Johnson receives warm hugs from Tom Wilson after he placed third in the 100meter run. This is one of many events that occured during the Special Olympics, which was founded in 1968 and became active here in Southern California in 1973. Each event in the Olympics is categorized by the athlete's age.

Other events included wheel chair races, shotput, softball throw and an 100-meter run.

The athletes ranged in age from 8 to 80, but most of the participants were teenagers and young adults.

At the end of the day, the awards cermony brought forth tears and emotion by athletes and volunteers alike. And even though not everyone won a medal, for the athletes at the Special Olympics they were all winners.

First, second and third place winners receive their medals at the award ceremony that was held after the games. On the left is second place winner Mat Bell, in the middle is frrst place winner Michael Alhadeff and on the right is Fir as Darkazanli third place winner.

Baseball is one shy of playoffs

By Salvador Marquez Sports Editor

Suzl Bass/Staff PlrotograpMr

Winding up for the "K" is John Uglow, who went eight and two thirds for a win over Southwestern. Although a relatively messy outing (five runs), Uglow got strikeouts when be needed them.

The 1991 baseball season for the Comets has come down to one simple equation: if Palomar wins two more games than Southwestern, and just win more than Grossmont, the Comets are in the Pacific Coast Conference playoffs.

The race is for the top two places of the PCC, which are the only two spots that go on in the post-season.

San Diego Mesa, who sits comfortably atop the league with a 133 conference record, is catchable for the 10-7 Comets, with seven games r~maining.

Conventional wisdom would state that Palomar is in a seven game series with the top three of thePCC. Thatisn'tnecessarily so.

"I told the ballclub last night (April 12) in a meeting that we were in a one game series with Southwestern,Saturday(April13)" said Comets Manager Bob Vetter.

"I said let's go out and get that series. Then when (last) Tuesday rolls around, we're going to play a one game series with San Diego City. We're taking them one game at a time.

"I told the team: Don'teven talk or begin to think about where you are in the standings. When you start doing that, you stop playing

your game."

With forgettable road losses on April11 and 12 to cellar-dwelling MiraCosta, 7-5 on , and 14-6 to non-conference foe Fullerton, the Comets needed a win against the Southwestern Apaches, who led them by two games, on the following day.

That lead was dwindled down to one game when the Comets defeated the Apaches, 8-5, at Jim Meyer's Field. Palomar combined opportunistic offense and timely

strikeouts in what was termed by Vetter as "a team win."

It seemed that Apaches starting pitcher Joe Carrillo wanted to give the game away, as he granted the Comets four walks in the first inning and two hits and four runs.

Two more walks, two Apaches errors and a two for three, two RBI day for Comets first baseman Tom Afenir, dido 't help the tribe, either.

Comet of the Week Lydia Shaw achieved something few Pacific Coast Conference netters havewin a match against powerful Grossmont, California's number-one school in tennis.

Starting this season, women's tennis coach Nan Haugen had eight new players on her team and no idea of what to expect.

As the end of the season approaches she now has eight players who have pulled together to become a team.

With a record of 10-2 this year, Haugen is very pleased with what this team has accomplished, despite an 8-1 drubbing at the hands of Grossmont College, on April 10.

With their only losses having been to Grossmont, the number one ranked team in the state, it is clear to see why she is pleased.

A major reason for their success has come from the tremendous

amount of teamwork that they possess.

"Our team support is great," said Haugen. "They really pull for each other out there." A fme example of this was recently displayed in a doubles match against Mesa College.

Down five games to one in the third set, the number one doubles team ofWendy Gutierrez and Lydia Shaw was really on the ropes. Consider that they were playing at Mesa, with the home team's fans cheering for an upset, most teams might have thrown in the towel.

But Haugen's would not.

ItwasatthispointthatGutierrez went up to Haugen and said "can you get the team together to root us on?" Taking their cue, the rest of

Shades of 1984, it's time to unfurl the flag and welcome the new blue crew Let's set the scene here: it's a crowded stadium and the fans are raving about the season at hand. The largest stars and stripes flag is unfurled, the anthem plays and then a war hero steps out on the mound to throw the honorary first pitch.

That was the scene at this year's San Diego Padres home opener. Just like it was out of a book; the way it was back in the old days of America's greatest pastime. When the Yankee Oipper, the Babe and Say Hey Willie reigned as immortals of the game we all know and love, baseball.

The enthusiasm was high as the fans all decked out in their new Padre blue sat on the edge of their seats anticipating the frrst pitch. On this night they would get their money's worth as the Padres - in dramatic fashion - carne from behind in the late innings to defeat their rivals from Bay area, the San Francisco Giants 7-4.

The

Warning Track Sean Dean This win ended an almost endless drought of seven consecutive home opener loses. The win also brought new hope to the L.A version of the Padres.

The last time they won a home opener back in 1984, when they went on to shock everyone by winning the National

League Championship and reaching the unthought of impossible dream, the World Series.

Such a lofty goal is not so far fetched this season for the L.A, excuse me, San Diego Padres of 1991. They are a well put together team with a nice mold of youngsters and veterans that can make things right for Manager Greg Riddoch and Mighty Joe(Mcllvaine).

Ifopening night is any indication how the Padres will play this year. They will not be the supposed wimps that many thought they were last year. These blue pinstripers don't have that plague known as Jack Clark or Mr. Mendoza Line himself Mike Pagliuralio in the line-up.

Everything is there for a great year and chapter for this new blue crew. The fans are psyched, there are new cinnamon rolls on Plaza level, every other night is a promotion and Rosanne Barr is not scheduled for any appearances.

Vikings raid Comets in three games Coming from a win against Mt. San Antonio, the Palomar men's volleyball team took on the first-ranked Long Beach College Vikings, April 10, but to no avail. LBCC won three out of four matches, 15-17,1917, 8-15 to beat the Comets for the second time this season.

James Coney led the Comets with 82 assists while Rob Thomas had 28 kills and five blocks.

On Aprill2, the Comets traveled to Grossmont College to defeat the Griffins in three matches, 15-3,15-13,15-8. The Comets were lead again by Coney who had 45 assists. Rob Thomas and Kirk Kinney led Palomar in kills with 15 and 10 respectively. Thomas also led the Comets with 5 blocks.

For the season, James Coney leads the team in assists with 881; Rob Thomas leads in kills with 274. Chris Houk tops everyone in with 43 blocks, Kirk Kinney is second with 37.

Comets sophomore starter John Uglow, with freshman Matt Taylor, have compensated for the loss of injured Robert Erp.

According to Vetter, Afenirthe opening day catcher - has played frrstrecently to res this legs.

This moves regular frrst baseman Mitch Anderson to the designating hitter spot, left fielder Spike Mitchell behind the plate and regular designated hitter Ed Cornblum to left Palomar pitcher John Uglow, who recently has spent time between the starting staff and the bullpen, got off to an ugly start, giving up three runs in the frrst inning.

But three key strikeouts in the seventh with the bases loaded and a "K" in the eighth with an Apache at second, saved the Comets from a scalping.

After the Apaches scored their fifth run, with two outs in the ninth, ace stopper Chris Adams picked up the save when he entered the game with two on and blew away shortstop David Grigsby in four flicks with his deceptive submarine pitching style.

According to Adams, who no longer feels uncomfortable in the stopper role, he is adding a nasty weapon in his arsenal - a split fmger fastball. Coupled with his submarine throwing style, halfway sidearm and underhand, this new pitch can be very effective.

"It comes up like a fastball, then the bottom drops out," said Adams of his new pitch. "I only throw it when I'm ahead, way ahead."

Key games for the Comets will be played tomorrow, noon, at San Diego Mesa, next Thursday, at 2 p.m., at Grossmont and April30, at 2 p.m., at Southwestern. s•w...tern

Comets whomp Apaches

By Sean Dean Sports Writer

Life can be tough playing two games back to back, let alone three.

But add Brigham Young University in as one those teams then you have a handful, which is what the Palomar College softball team had to go through this week.

The Comets now 29-8 overall, 7-1 in conference, carne out of the week pretty good taking two out of three. In the first game of the week Palomar played tough conference foe Grossmont College and fell63. The defeat was the first loss in conference play for the Comets.

Palomar carne back strong the next day to play the Cougars of B YU. The Comets dominated this game to win 2-1, but the score of this game does not truly reveal the dominance Palomar had.

The Comets got some strong pitching from Alisa Thomas. She, just as in her last outing against Imperial Valley, had a shaky first inning against the Cougars surrendering one run.

The next six innings were solid as Thomas finished up allowing one run, seven hits and striking out four on her way to her lOth victory of the season.

The offensive star of the game for the Comets. First baseman Alicia Marrone, who returned to action from an injury that had put her out of play for a stint. Marrone's inside-the-park home run in the bottom of the fifth inning proved to be the difference to bring vic-

tory to the Comets.

After already playing two games back to back, the Comets had to face the Apaches of Southwestern College. Palomar wasn't about to circle their wagons against this team - instead they came out with their guns blazing to win 4-0.

The Comet that shined in this game was pitcher Shannon Downey. Downey struckouteight and allowed only three hits on her way to 18th victory of the season as well as her 11th shutout Downey got offensive help from shortstop Amy Oberholtz, who doubled in the first run and first baseman Alicia Marrone, who for the second day in a row hit an inside-the-park home run to drive in two runs.

"I just take the best cuts that I can," said Marrone. "If I can take the right cut I'll hit the ball hard and maybe hit a home run if it's the right pitch.

The Comets also got good fielding efforts from third baseman Alisa Thomas and catcher Teresa Juliano who kept Southwestern from getting any offense and from staging a comeback.

the team gathered around and really tried to help give the spark that their teammates needed.

"It was like someone lit a frrecracker under them" said Haugen.

Gutierrez and Shaw went on to win 24 of the next 29 points and win the match seven games to five .

"Our biggest strength isourcompetitiveness and fight," said Haugen. "These girls just won't quit."

The team will need every ounce of that fighting spirit as they prepare for the individual and dua. team championships.

The individual championships will be held on April24-28, at the Ojai Invitational. The dual team championships are bemg held at Chabot College in Northern Cal ifornia and will start on May 16, and continue through May 18.

Well (continued from page 3) Gregoryk was elected to the board of directors of the Vallecitos Water District last fall.

Corky Smith, a councilman for the city of San Marcos, has volunteered to be a well witcher (a person who uses a witching rod to detect the location of water under ground) to pick the exact sight for the test well.

The procedure for well witching involves taking a Y -shaped peach tree branch and walking around the areas that are desired for water.

If there is water, the stick will bend towards the ground. There is definite skill involved according to Gregoryk. "Not everybody believes that it can be done, and not

everybody can do it," he said. "But it can be done."

If water is found on campus, production for the permanent well will begin as soon as possible. The

cost for the test well will be approximately$? ,OOO,and if the permanent well is built, it could cost Palomar a total of $30,000. The funding for this project is coming from the Board's capital improve-

ment account and will not affect student fees." It is too early to tell howmuchwaterwewillbesaving, but I can safely say that it will be a substantial amount," Gregoryk concluded.
