135 vote .in student officer elections Ballots nullified due to joke write-in votes, turnout lowest in four years By Laura Woolfrey Staff Writer If Mickey Mouse·had received more votes, it's quite possible he would have been elected to serve as an Associated Student Government officer. Nineteen out of the 136 ballots cast in this semester's ASG election were disqualified because Palomar pranksters wrote fictitious names on ballots. According to Secretary of Student Activities Marilyn Lunde, to the best of her knowledge, 19 is a record number of ineligible ballots cast. "I beat Mickey Mouse so I'm happy," said newly elected President Erik Johnson jokingly. Johnson is one of the six newly elected officers who will take office on May 8. Despite recent complaints by ASG officers concerning student apathy, the voter turnout this semester was still low. The trend of not casting ballots for ASG officers is worsening. In the fall of 1990, 196 students voted and in the spring of 1991, 150 cast a ballot. This term, only 117 ballots were eligible for tally. No candidate got more then 92 votes.

Molestation charges are being filed by Associated Student Government Senator Nnambi N noli Jr. against Vice President Rob Aikins as a result of his alleged "physical attack" on Nnoli. According to Nnoli, the accused senator verbally and physically harassed him during a personnel discussion. "He attacked me," said Nnoli. Aikins said he believes Nnoli's version of the incident is exaggerated. "There was no fight and no threat of a fight," said Aikins. "I think he has an overactive imagination." Aikins said he had received complaints from committee chairmembers concerning Nnoli 's
failure to fulfill his responsibilities as a member of Publicity and Awards Committees. Aikins said he approached Nnoli with the problem but was "bewildered" with Nnoli ' s hostile attitude. "Nnambi b<!came very loud and demanded to know who was complaining so that he could confront them," said Aikins. In retaliation, Aikins said he askedNnoli to"getoutofmyface" and pushed Nnoli with his index finger. "This must be the molestation he speaks of," said Aikins. Nnoli said he did not hit Aikins back because it was against school rules and regulations. Nnoli said after the "attack" he left the room to discuss the matter with Director of Student Activities Jim Bowen. "I don't know why the hell he (see CHARGES- page 5)

Magic Mountain.trip stirs debate over proper use of student funds By Laura Woolfrey Staff Writer A motion to use student money to send ASG officers to Magie: Mountain was approved by a majority vote at the April 24 Associated Student Government meeting. The trip to the amusement park followed an April 27-28 student government conference in Los Angeles. According to Senator Michelle Shepard, student government members from Palomar and other schools went to Magic Mountain after the conference in an attempt to improve social and professional contacts with members of other student governments. It was worthwhile, said many ASG members, for the stude.n t representatives to go to Magic Mountain at the expense of the student government. "We will get to know the students and will definitely make contacts on the bus," said Shepard before the trip. She referred to the bus ride from the conference to the park. Although a majority of the student senate voted for the proposition, which allocated $88
out of the social events fund, there were a few who disagreed. "It's not related to the conference. Students are not getting anything back," said Senator Garrett Whitehead. "You can't make contacts on the log ride." Another reason some student officers were in favor of approving the motion was that it would provide an incentive for students to run for office in the future. According to the majority vote, the opportunity to attend Magic Mountain would be an attractive benefit to joining the ASG. Senator Jennifer Theis however said she construes this attempt to acquire more student government candidates as "bribery." "I think it paints an unclear picture, I don't think it looks right," said Theis. "It's absolutely not the right incentive." Theis added that traveling to the conferences should be an incentive in itself. Many Palomar student organizations besides the ASG travel to conferences and competitions. However, due to budget cuts and rising costs, some organizations may have to curtail
the number of trips. The Telescope student newspaper may have to limit the number of students who attend the state journalism competition next year according to Roman Koenig, the paper's editor-in-chief. "Even with additional help from the ASG, we may nave to cut back the number of issues we print during the year as well," he said. "The principle of using student money for trips like the one. the ASG took bothers me- enjoying a trip to Magic Mountain at student expense while groups here on campus are hurting." The speech team's budget has been cut by approximately $1,500 in the. Because of this, the forensics team will either not be able to take as many trips or allow less students to attend the competitions, according to an advisor ofthe team, Bruce Bishop. Bishop said he feels that if Palomar is having monetary problems, it would be appropriate that everyone cut back. "A trip to Magic Mountain at first glance does not seem to be responsible or frugal," said Bishop, who challenged the ASG to justify their decision.

Corps clears out beetle-infested trees By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer Palomar College's Buildings and Grounds department got a helping htmd last week from California Conservation Corps who cut and cleared out trees in the Arboretum. Grounds Supervisor Richard Kratcoski said that he saw the need and requested the help. "We have about 30 trees in the Arboretum that are infested with the bark beetle," he said. "We basically don't have the manpower to take care of the cleanup." Eight corps members worked at the project for a week. Ken Weeks, the crew ¡ supervisor said that getting rid of the infested trees was the primary concern because the bug spreads to other trees. "On Palomar Mountain this bug has wiped out hills and hills," he said. "The trees are extra susceptible because of being weakened by the drought." The CCC also did on general cleanqp as they cleared out brush that was a potential fire hazard. "There is about a month's worth of work here," Weeks said. The CCC only work on public property, and are so busy that there is a long waiting list for their help. "We have a schedule that is booked two years in advance," stated Weeks. This particular crew just fmished working in Poway. The CCC was created in 1976 out of the Ecology Corps. The real ancestor is the Civilian

Staff Writer
A keynote address by Veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas and a murder staged by stars from the soap opera "Santa Barbara" highlighted this year's community college state journalism competition April19-21. Palomar's Telescope staff walked away with 11 awards including third place in general excellence in their division at the Fresno competition. Thirteen students from Palomar's journalism program battled words and wits with over 500 students from 55 other community colleges in California and Arizona. The student writers, photographers, editors, and a cartoonist brought home five mail-in awards and six from the on-the-spot competition. Student journalists attended events and then were given one hour to write a story, produce a picture, draw a cartoon, copy-edit a story, or lay out a page. A mock press conference in the news contest took on a dramatic twist that caught writers by surprise. Soap stars Jennifer Sharp and Les Powell announced an engagement and were promoting a new show when an actor posing as Sharp's exhusband burst into the auditorium and shot and killed Powell. "It was a lot of fun to write because it was

Telescope photographer Tom Giammaria took a third place for capturing the instant the gun went off in his award-winning photograph. Photo-editor Michael Bagstad also took an honorable mention for his photo of children playing at Palomar's child care center. Telescope writers dominated the sportswriting competition by taking two of the five top awards. Patrick Gifford took first place and sports editor Salvador Marquez took third place for their stories about changes in National Collegiate Athletic Association regulations. Marquez also took second place in the mail-in competition for his feature story about Palomar student Deanna Sadoma, a wheelchair athlete. A feature story on artist and Palomar instructor Robert Freeman brought second place honors to Eva Silva. Hank Tritchka picked up fourth place for his critical review of an improv performance given at the competition. The Telescope took third place for front page layout in the mail-in competition. "I think that says a lot for the quality of our staff,"saidjournalism adviserS usan Deacon who accompanied the students along with photojournalism adviser Donna Cosentino.

Students must dig deep if they want parking An old adage says that you get what you pay for. Students may fi nd that if they don 't start paying, they may lose out on something almost every student needs: a parking spot Students are constantly complaining about the parking situation; it seems that it is the most talked about topic on campus. The complaints range from not enough spaces to the concerns of vandalism and theft. Even though students could end up forking over as much as an additional $13 more a semester, it would be well worth the expense to improve the parking situation on campus. Additional fees would not only provide more spaces for cars, but also more security in the lots. Palomar College has seen many car break-ins and thefts over the year. A few more dollars for a parking sticker is not much to ask if it can help insure the safety of people and their automobiles. If students want a better system, they should have heard from their parents by now that there aren't many things in this world that are free. Higher parking fees would not be a big raise, and compared to fees at many other campuses across this state, Palomar is more than generous for providing the parking at this price. If students feel the new fees here are too high, wait until they get to a four-year school. They may consider public transportation, or a good 10-speed bike, when they learn that San Diego State University charges $144 and the University of California at San Diego charges $262 a year to leave a car in a parking stall. After all, with the state in a fiscal crisis, and education feeling the brunt of it, Palomar shouldn't be expected to shell out money for pavement and campus security when it's having a hard time trying make ends meet.

~ Give Nancy Reagan a break-please
The mental picture of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Jack Benny, George Burns, and Alfred and Betsy Bloomingdale smoking marijuana at a party is just too blatantly outrageous. This is just one of many alleged stories that author Kitty Kelley expects people to believe if and when they read her new book, "Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography." Kelley claims she spent four years conducting about 1000 interviews and extensive research to put this book together. In her book, she cites hundreds of people who served as her sources. The Reagans were not included in that list for Take a look at the athletic program at Palomar College obvious reasons I'm sure. There are many sordid stories in the book like the mariand you will see two traditions: success on the playing field, juana incident, but perhaps the most outrageous is the claim and a lack of appreciation by the student body. The success can be seen by checking out a trophy case, that Nancy Reagan had an affair with Frank Sinatra. I am not speaking with a member of one of the teams or ¡even saying that this story is true or not, I am just saying that glancing at the sports pages of this newspaper. The lack of Kelley did not offer enough support to back this allegaappreciation is evident every time one of the school's teams tion-that speaks for itself. Honestly, I have not read the book. I do not even plan on has a home game. ever buying or reading the book because I cannot condone No one is there to see it happen. Good teams, empty seats. It is not supposed to be like it What she did was nothing butruthless and evil and shows that-especially when you consider that this is the colle- that she is nothing but a desperate, unimaginative and giate level, where you're supposed to see that fabled college talentless woman. It is obvious that this was just a way for Kelley to make spirit. Palomar simply has the teams which deserve the attention and encouragement of a student body that is money at someone else's expense. The sad thing is that she will do just that: make a lot of money. In a recent interview 25,000 members strong. What needs to happen for the student body to actually go with ABC's Sam Donaldson, Kelley claimed that she did out and "root, root, root, for the home team?" Does the not write the book for the money, and she won't make that school have to buy everyone peanuts and crackerjacks? The much anyway. This story is almost as unbelievable as the Sinatra love shame isn't if the team loses; it is that no one will be there affair. Who is she trying to kid? There have already been to watch. So the next time you're between classes, looking for hundreds of thousands of books sold. After many evaluations of the book by several literary entertainment or even just killing time, why not go check out a game? You may find that all the excitement of college figures, people who were included as sources and the sports can be a lot more accessible than in the pages of the general public, it is obvious that much of it is pure fabrication. Several of Kelley's sources deny talking to her and newspaper-they are a simple walk across campus. many of the ones who were definitely interviewed claim

Social Commentary Darren Ane that she has misquoted and distorted what they said. Already, one of Kelley's sources has filed litigation against her; notto mention old blue eyes himself, Frank Sinatra, who has, understandably, filed his own suit over the love affair allegation. In the same interview with Donaldson, Kelley was caught in a writer's taboo by admitting that no one actually said Reagan and Sinatra were having an affair. She was told they had "lunches," and she made her claim off of that. By this standard, President Bush must be sleeping with his entire cabinet The book is pure and disgusting trash, and Kelley is a sorry excuse of a writer. It is a shame that nothing can be done to stop her from doing this again because, chances are, she will. It is also a shame that people will probably purchase her future endeavors as a supplement to the National Enquirer; people seem to love lies and falsehoods even when they verge on cruelty. I know that the Reagans were not always the most popular couple in history, but they, and the presidency, do not deserve blatant lies and contrived stories. As a writer, I am embarrassed by this junk and by its author. I do not believe that unauthorized biographies should be done in this manner: written with no respect for the truth. However, I do believe I will be the first to buy the upcoming book entitled ''Poison Pen: The Unauthorized Biography of Kitty Kelley."
This is the last week to submit letters to the editor. The Telescope encourages readers to write on issues of the day, as well as on articles and opinions published in the paper.

Justice takes the back seat; criminals have driven too long By Steve Kennedy Contributing Writer
These observations are the result of a recent journalism class field-trip to the Vista Court House. We went there to learn how to cover the courts; what I also learned about was the inept bureaucracy of the criminal justice system. Already on probation for assaulting his wife, the defendant was stopped while making aU-turn on Mission Avenue. The arresting officernoticed four open beer cans in the car. The driver's blood-alcohollevel was later tested at .20, or twice the legal limit The man, who was driving on a suspended license at the time of his arrest, is just another example of the ineffectiveness of today's courts. Unable to imprison those who are guilty of serious crimes, the courts have to rely on convicted criminals to police themselves. This absurdity is the result of overcrowded prisons and an overworked judicial system. Despite the incontestable evidence of his guilt, the defendant, like every other person living in the United States, had the right to a trial in front of a jury of his peers. In order to fulfill the constitutional rights of the defendant, the county had to hire a defense attorney and an interpreter at the taxpayer's expense-not to mention the salary of the judge, the prosecutor and the bailiff. And this man drives away, thumbing his nose at the law once again. In light of today's fiscal crisis, I believe that criminals should have to pay for their crimes if they are found guilty. Not only should they have to pay a nominal fine for their violations, they should also have to pay for all the legal fees involved in the case-from the cost of the paperwork to the gas allowance for the jurors. America's legal system should become a law and order institution again, rather than the revolving door that it is today. Otherwise, criminals should be responsible for wasting the taxpayers' money. Criminals have received a free ride long enough!

Learn history from history class, not Hollywood Dear Editor,
Minutes after being convicted of drunk-driving, the defendant walked out to his car, slipped in the key and drove away on a suspended license. He was not the first criminal to drive away in violation of his parole, nor will he be the last. Such an obvious disregard for the law has become the rule rather than the exception due to the courts inability to punish today's criminals.
What do you think the ASG could do to improve student participation in elections?
Telescope opinions face criticism
Kathy Hines ("Communist Paranoia Justifies 'Guilty by Suspicion'" Fri., AprilS) must have slept through her history class. She states that the laws invoked by the House of UnAmerican Activities Committee in the early '50s were reflective of communism. She must have slept through the lecture that would have informed her that the infamous Hollywood 10 were indeeq staunch Stalinists-a regime that systematically slaughtered millions of its own people. She must have slept through the lecture that said that many in Hollywood at the time were paid promoters of the communist message, ultimately confessed it and were punished; few charged were innocent Perhaps a few innocents suffered, but that might be attributed to the fact that the guilty were so very unwilling to reveal their true political passions. One must witness the recent revelations by Soviet KGB defectors as to the true guilt of the Rosenbergs and Alger Hiss. Perhaps Miss Hines missed that bit of recent history. I applaud a government that so diligently tried to protect our people from the horrors of a movement that by its own admission ("The Communist Manifesto" in case Miss Hines slept through that lecture, too) was bent on our own eventual conversion to the faith. While this may seem like a silly concern in light of recent developments in Eastern Europe, it is important to note that not only has the communist system been oppressive and murderous, but also an utter failure at providing the minimum in· food, clothing and housing to the very people upon whose back the regime came into power.
But perhaps this bit of clear-cut scholastic history will convince Miss Hines that the "hysteria" of the 1950s was more than a little prudent. From ''The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Russia and the Soviet Union": "Oftotal arrests, about eigh[ million {about 5 percent of the population) is a likely figure. Of those arrested. some 800,000 (one in ten) were probably executed, while the remainder faced incarceration or transportation to the camp system. As to the death-rate in camps, a figure of 10 percent in 1933, rising to 20 percent in 1938, is probably conservative, but even so would mean a death rate annually of well over one million persons for the purge years." I imagine blacklisting would have seemed like a picnic to those poor people who faced the oppression and murder of the Stalinist regime. If Miss Hines still insists that the Hollywood trial were reflective of communism, I can only guess that she slept through her logic classes as well. As to her assertion that this repression could happen at anytime, to anyone, I can only respond that if that were true, she'd have been dragged to trial for printing irresponsible, uneducated, anti-government drivel, instead of merely being called to task by a reader who doesn't look to Hollywood for her history lessons. It appears that conspicuous benevolence has outweighed truth, justice and the American way. The appearance of "looking like you care" seems to win more hearts than looking at the truth. The truth is that while those in Hollywood may have shined in their drama and fme arts classes, they most undoubtedly slept through their history classes. Terri Adkins

Police actions, not word processors, save lives Dear Editor, Roman Koenig's comments, printed on April 5, reestablished my confidence in the American school of "shotgun" journalism. I have been a law enforcement officer for 22 years, and I have taught in the Criminal Justice Program at Palomar for the last several years. I do not deny that there exists inappropriate level of police behavior or levels of force. I also agree that the Rodney King incident was abhorrent and unnecessary. However, I fail to see the relationship between the King incident and the "my friend told me... " story about the San Diego Sheriffs Department. You related that the deputies stopped the people, used physical force, had their guns drawn and then released them "without explaining ... why they had done what they had done." In the same paragraph, you stated, "They realized that they had the wrong man." Well, which is it? An unexplained violation of a citizen's constitutional rights, or a case of mistaken identity?
"They could publicize it more. I never heard about them the last time they were here so I didn't vote .. "
Jennifer Welker Speech "I think it is a matter of publicity. They should advertise in other places in the student union, or they should publicize everyone getting student body cards."
As hard as it may be for you to believe, th& are some "no" people who are out in your community. Violent crime and drug use have made bur streets unsaf!at any time. I doubt, however, that you and your wor~processor will ever impact that situation, or ever protect those victims who will be nothing more than statistics during your articles on crime. No, it will be up to the street cops to put their lives on the line so people like you will have the protection and freedom to leer through their telescopes. I encourage you to go on a "ride along" with the Sheriff's Department, or a police department of your choice. Get a first hand idea of what law enforcement is like. Use a microscope approach to journalism instead of a telescope. It'salways easy to use the other guy's byline. And if you can't, the "Inquirer" is always interested in your point of view.

Weather station measures¡u Campus weather station is also an educational tool By Darren Ane Staff Writer When an earthquake shook Costa Rica last month, it also turned some heads in Palomar College's weather station. "I was walking by the seismograph and happened to glance over and I saw the machine going haywire. It really caused a stir around here," said Doug Key, an instructor in earth science. But monitoring earthquakes is not all that the weather station docs. According to Key, Palomar students enrolled in meteorology and physical geography classes have an advantage that students at other schools do not; a complete and functional weather station. The station has been in existence for 15 years and is fully equipped with all types of gauges, including a barometer, wind speed and direction gauges and a rain gauge that calculate weather along with the seismograph which monitors earthquake activity. Located in the Earth Science Building, Key said the station's primary purpose is to provide practical experience for students enrolled in the classes that deal with weather, geography and aviation. "Its main benefit is that it is a very nice hands-on set of material and it gives the students a chance to see what it is they are learning about," he said.
Although the students are the primary users of the station, Key said that students and faculty members all over the campus also come in to see the station. "Many times other students and teachers come by-just to see what is going on with the weather here or somewhere else other than California, so it really is put to full use." A map machine that prints out weather maps from spots all over the globe is one of the key instruments of the station. Key said it is like a fax machine and prints out maps several times a day. It helps keep the weather station current on weather conditions, he added. Another instrument that is vital to the station is the rain gauge. This device. measures the amount of rain in a given period. The gauge in Palomar's station has recorded rainfall since July 1, 1990. Because of California's drought, the gauge didn't see much action until "Miracle March" when the state got a record rainfall. "It stayed pretty low there for a while at about two inches then late February early March it shot up to 16.8 inches," said Key. In the future Key said the station will need to update its map machines to the standards of today' s technology but other than that not much will change. One thing he is looking forward to is next fall, when there will be a meteorology lab in the station for the first time in its history.
The weather map machine spits out maps on the current weather conditions in the United States as well as across the globe several times a day.
This seismograph recorded the Costa Rican earthquake that occured last month.
A variety of seismographs are used to track earthquakes. They measure activity from north to south, east to west and up and down, as well as where it occurs.

Drug lord extraordinare exploits in 'New Jack City'
Detective Nick Peretti (Judd Nelson, left) and "Scotty" Appleton (Ice-T) make an arrest in Warner Brothers' contemporary gangster epic ''New Jack City." By Salvador Marquez Sports Editor

Any film goer at this movie will be instantly reminded of ''The U~touch ables." But it is effective. "New Jack City" moves at a riveting pace, not allowing the audience a respite.

Appleton kidnaps Pookie and takes him to a detox center and helps him recover - a refreshing touch to an action movie; maybe not everything is

Policemen actually died in the raid (filmmakers before must of thought criminals were the worst shots of all-time.) Whenever any film- romance, horror, sci-fi, and in this case, action thriller makes the viewer want to participate in what's going on, the filmmaker has accomplished its goal. Added with the spiritual element that "New Jack City" makers have chosen to go with, and its twist ending a must see for the ftlmgoer who is not satisfied with the average action film.

Rehearsing for William Shakespear's ''Much Ado About Nothing" are (seated) Kris Olivier, and Ken Bartlett; standing from left, are Richard Pallaziol and Colleen Claypool and Pace Ebbesen. By Hank Tritcbka
Staff Writer "They say the lady is wise," quips Benedick, Lord of Padua, "but for loving me, it is no addition to her wit." Thus one of the characters in Shakespear' s comedy "Much Ado About Nothing" marvels at how Beatrice, his foremost antagonist, has supposedly come to love him. This Shakesperian ode to the trivial court affairs that went on in renaissance England is presented masterfully by Palomar College's Performing Art's Department. Though the humor could be lost because of the old English, Palomar's rendition comes across with the energy and clarity to make it funny even for today' s audience.
Pace Ebbesen certainly led the way in entertainment with his highly animated portrayal of Benedick, the flamboyant free spirit who suddenly fmds himself falling- for a woman who despises him. However, Matt Godecker who plays one of the naves, is equally entertaining. It is a pity his part is not longer; his antics always get an approving laugh from the audience. Of course the play is full oflittle twists and plots as mischievous busybodies spread rumors and arrange love affairs. The main character is Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon, who is played by Richard Pallaziol. His infatuation with Hero, played by Kris Oliver is the central theme with all of the other affairs revolving around it. This all

takes place in the household of Leonota, Governor of Messina. Though the backdrop never changes, I never got bored with the setting. The visual aspect of the presentation is bright and uplifting. The costumes, though at times superseding the talent of the actors, are excellent given our community college status. For this we can thank designer Monika Newitt Though at times bordering the tedious, this is one of those performances worth seeing given the cost and convenience. The shining performances of some of the actors including Walter Rosenfeld as constable and Colleen Claypool as Beatrice make it an affair worth getting involved in. Show runs until May 5.

Out of Leftfield Salvador Marquez
Money and size is fine, but give me skill I'm back from the dead. PalomarCollegehasrecently been blessed (or barraged) with the opinions of its awardwinning sports staff in a column rotation. It's my dumb luck that I drew last. Recently, fellow sports scribe Pat Gifford and I joined the rest of The Telescope contingent at a journalism competition in Fresno. The five-hour trip north was worth it to see the stunned faces of sportswriters from better-funded newspa{>ers as Pat took first-place in on-the-spot sports news and I grabbed third. It was a clean sweep, topping a three-award weekend for sports - I took second in a feature about Palomar's wheelchair marathoner, Deanna Sodoma. While good newspapers aren't cheap, the wealth of a program isn't always the measure of its talent or work ethic. And while we're on the topic of David and Goliath confrontations, somebody please explain to me why the South Coast Conference men's volleyball first team doesn't have a Comet on it. There are three Los Angeles Pierce Brahmas (sixth-ranked) on the first squad, and no one from the fifth-ranked Comets. Talk about L.A. media biases. This flies against all logic considering Palomar has SCC kill leader Rob Thomas, SCC number-two assists guy James Coney; the Comets are ranked higher than the Brahmas and the Comets have rounded up "the Herd" twice this season. That's almost as bad as a student government short-changing an award-winning newspaper and then taking a "networking" trip to Magic Mountain. Hmm. Where have I heard that before? Frc'm one form of deviousness to anoth:~r: how can anyone with Thomas' "John-Boy" looks be a kill leader? The guy looks like every mother's dream, so much so that even his own teammates joke about it. This sweet, innocent-looking fellow being the SCC's top killer is something out of a Hitchcock movie. Trust me coach, we haven't forgotten you; Mark Eldridge, who deserves more than a belated congratulations on his 300th win as a Comets softball coach. Reaching the "big three" in midseason, Eldridge's squad continues to ruthlessly dominate Southern California softball. I don't know what type of celebration was planned, coach, but I believe the KKSM-99 ports crew has decided to name the softball field "Eldridge's Field" in your honor. Most Comet watchers wouldn't know that Palomar had a competitive golf team without the occasional story in The Telescope- Orange Coast Conference rules state that no spectators are allowed on the course. This flies against the lore of golf, of its storied loyalty of fans following their hacker to the 18th hole. The official line is the OCC is worried about possible accidents and expensive golf course insurance. C'mon, insurance isn't a problem beyond community college, and these golfers are not that bad. In fact - "Caddy Shack" rejects notwithstanding - who is?

Comets stuffed at volleyball regionals Orange Coast cruises by Palomar, 3-0 By Salvador Marquez Sports Editor
Shutouts were the normal fare at the Southem California Men's Volleyball Regionals, last Saturday, at Orange Coast College. After downing rival Los Angeles Piece College 3-0, Palomar was raided by the hometown Pirates, 3-0. The regionals determined what school would be the at-large berth in the fourschool state finals tournament held at Pierce College today and tomorrow. The loss to the Pirates, who have beaten state top-seed Long Beach City twice, leaves the Comets fifth-ranked in the state. Fifth-ranked in California, arguably America's best volleyball state, could be to the casual observer quite an accomplishment for Palomar's three-year-old volleyball program. But it could have been better. Palomar's earlier April19 shutout loss to the Pirates contributed to the Comets' fate. Tied for second in the South Coast Conference at the time, the loss gave OCC the right to play at home, where they haven't lost a match in three years. But they did lose 3-1 to the Comets, in the Dome, March 6.
"They have 100 guys trying out for the team up here (Orange Coast), so this is probably the hotbed of volleyball in the nation.' Comets head coach Duncan McFarland Curtis Bulmer/S"!lf Plwwgrapher
"The crowd is here and we practice in here," said Pirates head coach Bob Wetzel. "We're just more comfortable here." And Orange Coast's depth was another key. According to Wetzel, the Pirates have between 12 to 14 quality players to fill six starting slots - a plus during tournament play when teams play twice daily. However, said Palomar head coach

land. "They've got more players in the radius from where they recruit from than anyone else. That's why Orange Coast has so many state championships (three championships in the lasi four years)." The first round for the Comets looked promising. The Pierce Brahmas, a volleyball power with three of eight all-SCC firstteam positions, only led once in the 15-10, 15-5 and 15-6 Palomar sweep. Comet sophomore outside hitter Rob Thomas led the barrage with 16kills and four blocks. Sophomore middle blocker Kurt Kinney stuffed five blocks (and 15 kills) to lead the Comets and sophomore setter James Coney had 61 assists. A Pierce College Roundup sportswriter claimed that the Brahmas, who were undefeated versus Palomar before a mid-season loss, were over-confident, despite facing SCC top kill leader in Thomas. But Brahmas head coach Kent Stanley gave the Comets its due. "You always talk about playing the next team, that's obvious," said Stanely. "But, no, we focused on Palomar. "Their setter (Coney) did an outstanding job. Their defense blocked- the crap out of the ball. Basically they beat us outcoached and outplayed." Although roughed up by the Pirates, the Comets did get their kills, 15 for Kinney and 14 for Thomas. Coney managed 51 assists in the Pirate rout. The Comets ended their season 15-6.

Softball downs final two to prepare for state title quest By Sean Dean
Sports Writer
Hors d'oeuvres were served Tuesday in the form of Chaffey College when the Palomar softball team crushed its final regular season foe, 11-3. Shannon Downey pitched all seven innings, earning her 20th win, striking out 12 and walking none. Comets leftfielder Sheila Teach, who almost hit for the cycle, pounding a triple, a double and a single, with first baseman Alicia Morrone, three singles, provided most of the offense for the Comets. But the week's games were not a testimony to the bats of Palomar (33-8, 9-1)- it was Comet pitching that highlighted the week. In Palomar's final home game, the Comets other starting pitcher, Alisa Thomas, blanked San Diego Mesa 5-0, Friday. It was another shutout in a season of shutouts as Thomas went the distance, striking out three and allowing no runs in seven innings of work. The shutout was Thomas' second of the season and her 11th win on the mound. The Comets other starting pitcher, Shannon Downey, has 11 shutouts for the season. The Palomar fielders gave her plenty of defensive support throughout the game, snuffing out any chance the Olympians had of catching up and getting back into the game. The infield had a different look though against the Olympians.
Regular first baseman Alicia Morrone played shortstop while Heather Hunter took over the first base bag, the switch turned out to be a good combination for the Comets, said Palomar Coach Mark Eldridge Second baseman, Shelia Teach was solid in the field and at the plate.

Teach's bunt sacrifice in the first inning in the Mesa game put a Comet runner in scoring position, which helped sparlc Palomar into a four run inning that San Diego Mesa could not recover from. Teach's last at bat in the sixth inning was icing on the cake. She drilled a shot over the right fielder'sheadandcoastedaround the bases for an inside-the-park homerun. Teach, upon touching home plate was given a standing ovation by the crowd on hand. The home run was her ninth of the season, which leads the Comets.

The new surroundings didn't affect Teach's hitting, however, since she hit her ninth inside-the-park homerun in that game.

Salvador Marquez/Sports Editor Last time The Telescope staff made basketball predictions, Duke University decided to ruin the party by winning the NCAA championships. It wasn.' t the University of Las Vegas, the choice of the entire literate world. Therefore, I'm going against conventional wisdom and say first that Portland will not make the NBA finals, and neither will favorite Chicago (with a possible exception - got to play it safe). There are a few dry, logical reasons for this brash prediction, but my strongest conviction is a subjective one: the NBA postseason rarely tQlerates the top teams. And besides, the Portland Trailblazers and ChicagoBullshaveexhibited "choke-itis" when Detroit ran ov.er them last year. Speaking of the Detroit Pistons, it will be the defending champs in the NBA finals pitted against the San Antonio Spurs. That is of course ifthe Pistons'can get by its firstround foe , the Atlanta Hawks.

It is now time for "money ball." The pretenders will be disposed ofquickly and the teams will actually begin to play defense. Andifyou lookverycarefullyyou just might see somebody hustle. The referees start to call travelling, and finally maybe, just maybe, every time Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson drives the lane there won't be a whistle blown unless there actually is a foul committed. Bottom line is that the regular season is played with the fans in mind, and the emphasis is placed squarely on run and gun, hamitup,makeitlookgood,SHOWTIME. The playoffs (once you get by half the entrants) is real basketbaJ.I. In-your-face defense, crisp passing, every possession counts; these are down-to-the wire games involving the best basketball players in the world. With that said, J now offer you my most humble views on how the playoffs will progress: Portland will wspose of the overrated Los Angeles Lakers in six games. The Trailblazers are loaded, and want to win. In the championship round they will meet a still-tough Detroit Piston team that advances after taking care of the Chicago Bulls in six. But it will take less games than that for the Trail Blazers to trounce the Pistonsfive. The Blazers will revenge the smoking they got from Detroit,last year. The Trailblazers are hungry, they want to win after coming close last year.

But Detroit's brinkmanship, like a genie' s bottle, will be used one too many times and San Antonio will emerge as the NBA's champ.

Lapses in concentration plague Comets baseball By Salvador Marquez
Sports Editor
For Comets baseball, all but two nails remain in its coffin. After losing a crucial road game to fourth-placeGrossmont College 8-7, and with Southwestern scalpings of MiraCosta and firstplace Mesa College, Palomar is two games out of second in the Pacific Coast Conference and have two games left Palomar's nearly all-freshman cast continued the race to the last two games and needed a road win
"The intensity level is something you have to maintain everyday on the field, whether at the beginning of the season or at the end of the season' Comets Manager Bob Vetter over Southwestern (April 30), a home defeat of cellar-dwelling San Diego City (yesterday) and a Grossmont road victory over Southwestern for the Comets to capture a playoff spot Inconsistent play and lack of intensity have been a bug-a-boo for the Comets, who lost to Gross mont with PCC save leader Chris Adams on the mound and to Imperial Valley College at home, Aprill8. But Palomar kept the heat on the second-place Apaches with a 5-2 road win over the Mesa Olympians two days later. "The intensity level is something that you have to maintain everyday on the field, whether at the beginning of the season or at the end of the season," said Comets manager Bob Vetter. "With a young ball club, something like this (the loss to Grossmont) will make us go through times where
we lose the intensity level. "You have to maintain a solid level of intensity from the first pitch of the ballgame through the ninth." Intensity wasn't the issue on the following Saturday when Palomar picked freeway rival MiraCosta apart 10-3 at Jim Meyer's Field. Freshman starting pitching Matt Taylor evened his record at 6-6 and Adams shook off his personal gremlins to pick up his sixth save. According to Adams, his release point on his submarine style of throwing was too high during the Grossmont game. The higher release point made his slider hang, , which was the pitch that Griffms third baseman Mike Farrell connected off of, scoring the two winningrunsin the bottom of the ninth.

"I've handled pressure before," said Adams. "All I have to do is keep my mind focused."

Conservation Corps which was prominent in the 30s. According to Bud Sheble, CCC director, the corps puts in more than three million hours of public service conservation work and emergency assistance to the state each year. Members must be between the ages of 18 and 23 and be California residents. Projects may include building play grounds, restoring historic buildings, cutting trails or clearing streams. Yet the main goal of the corps is character building, according to Sheble. "The CCC's primary focus is the development of good work habits," he said. "Training in specific technical skills is secondary."
Charles Wilson, a member who worked on the Palomar project agreed that the work ethic is strong. "The corps taught me how to get out of bed and work every morning," he said. Donna Scully, another worker, said that the corps was something that she really needed. "I am getting to like it," she said. "It has taught me discipline; something that I really needed before I got involved."
