Foundation Board efforts paying off

By Darren Ane Arts & Entertainment Editor The Palomar College Foundation Board' s fu nd-raising efforts have brought in $140,000, money that has become vital to the college, according to Dale Wallenius, Chief Advancement Officer.

The Foundation Board was formed in the late ' 50s as a fundraising source. In recent years it has been made up of community and corporate volunteers who aid in raising funds forthe school. Last year, Wallenius was hired to reinvigorate the organization and turn it into a full-fledged funding arm of the college.

Going into the 1991-92 school year, Palomar faced serious funding shortages due to of recent cutbacks in education from the state.

As a result, the Foundation Board has set out to help the college make up for the shortages and has set high goals for fund-raising efforts.

"Our main priority is to augment state funding and help the school as much as we can," said W allenius, who also serves as Executive VicePresident to the Foundation Board.

The board's fu nd-raising goal for 1991 was to raise $125,000 during the fiscal year. With nearly four months left, the board has not only met its goal but has surpassed it.

Wallenius attributes this accomplishment to the board's hard work.

Shortage stresses students¡

By Corby Stutzman Feature Editor "Excuse me, uh ... when I went to the Bookstore, they told me they were out of the book for this class."

Sound familiar? According to many students this is a common statement made to teachers at the beginning of each semester.

Teachers agree.

"I have 40 students without books, so I have to hold up lectures which causes problems for the students," said Michael Newbrough, a political science instructor.

The book store staff is taking much of the heat for the shortages.

A biology student on campus complained about the book shortage and attributed it to those "ill-perceptive bookstore people."

But the students and faculty aren't the only ones in anguish.

Frank Mendez, the textbook manager, said he and his staff have been in an absolute frenzy placing numerous orders in an attempt to meet the overwhelming demand

for college textbooks.

Mendez says the principal cause of the problem can be credited to a computer glitch that occurred this summer resulting in an extreme loss of placed orders.

Approximately 35-40 book titles were lost and most of these were introductory courses that have the largest enrollment. Mendez said this is the first time anything like this has happened and investigations will be conducted to pinpoint why the computer mishap occurred.

Other factors contributed to this shortage. The textbook staff receives book orders and researches each class ' s recent semester enrollment. This is weighed with the economic consideration that a leftover surplus means lost dollars to the college. Mendez stressed that this delicate balance is what makes book-ordering so difficult.

There are also other factors that contribute to the problem such as publishers running out of stock, (see BOOKS - page 4)

TRULY TIMELESS-Even decades ago, Palomar students faced the new semester with enthusiasm.

Disabled student . program w1ns award On August 20, Palomar College's Disabled Student Programs and Services was named by J.C. Penney and the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges as oneofthe year's two outstanding college programs nationwide.

The program received recognition for its innovative DSP&S service of allowing disabled students to participate in experiences that may not be available to them elsewhere as a result of their disabilities. These activities include arecent ski trip to Lake Tahoe and canoeing on the Colorado River.

Many students attending these trips never had the opportunity to travel or exercise in different, more challenging ways as they are accustomed to.

The cost is low for students attending the physical education training offered by Palomar. The trips are inexpensive as well, as the four-day Tahoe adventure complete with lessons cost $100 per person.

Three hundred students have registered at Palomar's Disabled Students Program this semester.

The "Undefeated Club" integrates disabled and non-disabled s~udents, and was founded by DSP&S counselor Ruth Tait.

Math lab is up and running A busy place on campus this semester is room 2-E. This is the center for one of Palomar's many alternative learning opportunities, self-paced courses offered through the Math Center which is directed

by Fariheh Towfig.

The self-paced format allows students to complete a math course in less than one semester or fmish two or more courses in a semester.

The student is responsible for a designated number of hours per week. Thesehoursarespentworking on the computer or in the book, asking questions of the two tutors or the instructor and taking quizzes and exams.

Success in a self-paced class requires self-motivation, self-discipline, good time-management skills and good reading skills.

Last semester there were some bugs in the software programs, but according to Rosa Conrad, receptionist of the center, those programs have been revised and there are no problems to date.

Self-paced courses are offered inMath 15,Math50andMath60.

If a student needs supervised tutoring, the student must register for a tutorial class.

Math Center hours are Mon.Thurs. 9 AM -9 PM. and Fri. 9 AM-3PM.

A students foot hanging out of a library window is a sure sign that re-adjusting to early morning hours is diffucult for some.

ASG meetings Packard to visit Palomar on NE0-99 Palomar College's radio station, NE0-99, will begin reporting on the stUdent government meetings.

Starting with last Wednesday, Sept. 11, Kyla Maney, along with Chris Ragsdale, will report on the weekly Associated Student Government meetings.

The station is using microphones to record each meeting, using sound bytes for the reports.

How long the station will continue to report is not known.

"We're not sure," Maney said, "it's a trial thing."

Maney also said that the station hasn't yet chosen a time to air the reports, but that they would probably decide between 8:50 a.m. or 11:20 a.m. for the broadcast.

Forthe 190s woman In September, Palomar will be holding a series of three lectures on "Women and Work in the 1990's". This series will be sponsored by the Palomar College Gender Equity Program.

The first lecture on the 11th will cover the topics of locating a job, evaluating skills, becoming motivated to look for employment, and formatting a resume.

On the 18th, the series will present ways to analyze job performance and prepare for an interview.

The fmallecture on the 25th will include the four types of personality and how they compliment or interfere with efficiency on the job.

Each lecture will be presented from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the governing boardroom located on the main campus. No fee is required.

U.S. Congressman Ron Packard will speak at Palomar on Sept 20 at 10:30 a.m. in the governing boardroom.

Packard will discuss his current work in Washington as well as his view of recent events in the Soviet Union.

Other topics will include ways in which the federal transportation policy will benefit North County and water reclamation policy. This will be followed by a question and answer period, according to Don Polese, district director.

Packard's appearance is sponsored by the student activities offlee and is open to all interested persons.

Packard represents the 43rd congressional district, which includes north San Diego and southern Orange counties.

The Luncheon Lecture Series will feature Pat Schmidt speaking on "Nursing in the 1990's."

A complimentary lunch is included, and the lecture is limited to thirty students. Sign up in room SU-10.

Student senator resigns from post

Position will be filled during coming election laws. Johnson said he wants to wait until elections on Sept. 25 and 26.

The third temporary senator, Sharon Gully, was sworn in Wednesday after being voted in last week. Gully, a marine biology major and first-semester student, is required to run again in the election in order to keep a seat on the government.

Adviser program helps college-bound students

By Corby Stutzman

Feature Editor Many instructors at Palomar are participating in a program that will assist students in choosing a four-year school and completing the transfer process.

It is called the Instructor Adviser Program, and was created for students who are unsure of a major, or don't know which steps

to take in pursuing a chosen major.

The program is based on the idea that instructors are experts in their fields and can give students more detailed information than would be received from a standard visit to the counseling and transfer centers. The types of information given include what classes should be taken at Palomar, what schools are suitable for a given major, as well as what career opportunities

installed at the intersection of the entrance and Mission Road.

The building, said Ellis, will be designed to complement existing campus architecture.

Along with the construction of the new center, the entire front section of the campus will be relandscaped, he said. The center will be accented with brick sidewalks, as well.

"It's really going to have a super landscaping plan," said Ellis. The plan includes a double-row of 12foot Queen palm trees down the center median of the new entrance.

The area in front of the theater will also be redeveloped, Ellis explained. A new main walk to the theater complex will be lined with magnolias, he said.

A sidewalk will run for the entire length of ~he campus in front, he said.

The front parking lot will be realigned and restriped, and new crosswalks leading to the Campus Patrol building will be installed.

Runners and walkers using the track will be protected from exhaust by new landscaping, as well.

Throughout the duration of construction, entry and exit at the front of thecampus will not be disrupted, Ellis said.

The entire project is being funded and designed by the county of San Diego, according to Guy. Although Palomar is not responsible for funding the rtew center, the college is supplying the land for the project, he said.

Ballmer, whose mother was a commercial artist said she needs to "feel" through her photos, to express emotionally what she sees, which Ballmer claims was the key in ''The Walk."

Her mother gave Ballmer, a mother of two sons attending Palomar, some advice, however: "Let your art be advocation, not vocation."

Gorwin said an artistic impulse led him to feature hummingbirds on a spinal X-ray.

Winning the award was something of a confirmation of his own skills, which have improved to the point that he felt conftdent enough to compete in the International Exhibition.

Mudge claimed that the ideas come first, th_c words and explanations come later. -She said the names, "seem to spring naturally," from the piece itself. The ~tic of her exhibit reflects her attempt to contrast the sum of ones life experiences against all of life's indefinite quantities.

This is Mudge's ftrst showing at Palomar. "Indefinite Quantities" was recently shown at the Orange County Center for the Contemporary Arts.

Mudge said, "David and I got to work with a wonderful installer named Trang Nguyen." Both artists felt that her work was very complementary to their work.

Perspectives on the Clarence Thomas nomination Well, it looks like organizations such as the N.A.A.C.P., Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition and other groups in opposition to Clarence Thomas are showing their true color, and it isn't the color black.

These groups, confirmed by a recent poll, are out of step with the population they supposedly represent. The majority of blacks polled do in fact support Thomas. No, it seems the true color of these self proclaimed "leaders" is in fact green.

Taxpayers' money is the prize for those who cry exploi-. tation the loudest. These groups have been pretty successful in promoting the notion that black Americans cannot make it without massive government funding. These policies create a people who acquire the mentality of defeat and bite at conspiracy theories of oppression.

A large group in our population now have grown to expect government money via these special interest groups.

Clarence Thomas shatters this chain of dependency with the example of his own life. Success stories like his are what the liberal leadership hates to hear. If a poor young kid from the rural south can press on with minimal preferential treatment and special priveleges to become a supreme court justice, then the whining liberals lose a lot of credence.

As you can see, Thomas is definintely a threat to their agenda. For a black leader to promote self help without selfpity and real equality without affirmative action means that the old programs and myths just may see their last days.

The civil rights policies of old have been flops, and Thomas realizes this. He knows that real equality will be acheived when judgements are made on ability, not the color of skin. When the underpriveleged are allowed to succeed and fail without patronization, then they will gain real strength and knowledge. Thomas could be the figurehead of an emerging black conservative class that will set a new standard for others.

The opinions of Clarence Thomas are not the opinions that a black leader is "supposed" to have. If he is not torn to shreds by the liberal establishment first, we will all profit from his fresh perspective. It is time for a change, and the liberal monopoly in the Supreme Court is an excellent place to start. Welcome Clarence Thomas.

By Hank Tritchka Opinion Editor

"I don't care how educated you are, how good you are at what you do- (if you are black) you'll never have the same contracts or opportunities, you'll never be seen as equal to whites."

These are not the words of the controversial Reverend AI Sharpton or of Reverend Jesse Jackson.

No, this is the admission of Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, made in Atlantic magazine article in 1986. This is the same judge who believes that the day of affirmative action is over. The same judge who believes that all a minority needs is grit and gumption to overcome decades of prejudice.

And yet, without affirmative action - championed by departing judge Thurgood Marshal, the man Thomas hopes to replace, he could not get to the position that he is in now -Supreme Court nominee.

Pretend for a minute that Thomas is not Afro-American, that he didn ' t come from a sharecropper' s family. Do we want a judge- one of nine people who can stop Congress and the President- who received a timid recommendation from the American Bar Association?

This isn't the time for someone who is an average judge, at best, and unqualified as a protector of civil rights- which is most likely. But this is no cock-eyed charge by the Left, but Thomas' own opinion.

"I had initially resisted and declined taking the position of Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights simply because my career was not in civil rights and I had no intention of moving into this area," said Thomas in a speech to the Heritage Foundation.

President Bush, end this sham. The only reason why Thomas was advanced as a nominee is his conservatism, not his ability. How ironic.

Thats How I See It Amelia Bowles

Kill a tree, make a phone book, build a bunker -

The other day my TV broke so I decided to check the phone book for a local TV repair shop. To my dismay I discovered I did not have just one phone book but I had 16 phone books.

Phone books for North County Inland, North County Coastal, North San Diego, East San Diego, South San Diego and probably Tijuana as well were in a stack under my phone. Which is why I had to use the ladder from my garage every time I made a call.

Also in the piles were books for my local town, the neighboring towns and local and neighboring towns combined plus the dreaded and much feared Donnelly Directory. What a confusing mess. What a waste.

There was a time when one phone book was sufficient.

Both white and yellow pages tied up in one neat package.

Granted the population of San Diego County has increased over the years, but is it really necessary to have so many phone books that basically duplicate each other?

And what about all the trees that were used to produce all these books. Maybe the destruction of our rain forests and our own forest areas is not caused by advancing populations.

Maybe it's the phone company's doing.

I've been told that the out-dated phone books can be recycled, but where I live I have to drive 20 miles or so to get to the recycle place. That naturally adds more pollution to the atmosphere, because my car should have been recycled years ago, which in turn adds further destruction to the planet.

So I guess in the meantime, I'll use these books to build a bunker just in case Saddam Hussein decides to take America. Because I have so many phone books, I can't decide which one to use to find a T.V. repair shop. Oh well, I always did like to listen to the radio. And that's how I see it.

By Mike LaJoie Contributing Writer The organization's leader paces the small college classroom to and fro, waiting for the meeting to begin. His piercing, solid features appear to have discipline and determination chiseled out of a red rock. He inherited this look from his ancestors, people from the Assibiboine tribe called " Stoney" by the Canadians because of their stolid , stone features.

"Let's get this meeting underway." His black eyes scan the room at the members present and he spots a member leaning by the classroom' sopen door. The leader points his finger at him and shouts, "Hey! J uststartgrabbing people as they walk by, we need a better turn out than this!" The whole room laughs, he only produces a slight grin.

Sporting a short pony tail and commanding look, JeffCummins, 41, leans forward and begins to talk about the organization. "The American Indian Organization was established for Native Americans and those interested in Native American culture," he explains. It gives "visual proof that there are NativeAmericansoncampusstriving to get a higher education and to

break the stereotype of the old reservation Indian sitting at a store front waiting for his next government paycheck,"he said.

Breakingthe"stereotype"isexactly whatJeffCummins has done.

The psychology major maintains a highgradepointaverage aswellas keeping up with his countless duties. "He's the force behind the whole thing," says Nancy Wings, the club's treasurer. "He does all the agendas and he has a strong personality for getting things done."

"Every so many years we have someone that becomes a leader in our clubs and academics,JeffCummins is one of them," says Linda Locklear, the organization's faculty advisor. "He has a voice of reason that brings in new ideas from a different culture."

Throu::;h his and the AIO's efforts, a scholarship program now existsatPalomarforNativeAmericans who want to transfer to a four year school.

For his efforts he received the rarely given Faculty Award which is only given to students who have displayed outstanding contributions of personal service to the college.

Jeff places emphasis on other programs within the AIO. "Our

new tutoring program will have members work with new students of Native American origin. They don't have to feel like a stranger and can fmd a place here."

Helping to raise funds has proven a challenge and heavy responsibility for Cummins. The club's main fund-raiser is the selling of fry bread, a Native American dish, which they sell during special events at Palomar.

Afomer Vietnam veteran, Cummins started at Palomar in the fall of 1988, as a part-time student progressing later to full- time status.

"I am a product of parents who were forced into the boarding school era in the time of forced assimilation. The American government said, "Go to school and don't return to your tribe," said Cummins.

But this student is determined to return to his tribe in Montana.

He explains how the knowledge in the ways of his people will benefit them. ''The modern American society says 'be forward and aggressive, be dominant, maintain eye contact, nod when you agree, shake hands, and be affirmative' which is not the way with Native Americans," he says.

"When I go to participate with

Believe 1n Miracles

By Corby Stutzman Feature Editor Have you ever had a miracle happen to you on a Tuesday?

Probably not if you haven't been toCardiffforopen-mikenight at Miracles Cafe where the music is witty, the coffee is delectable, and the atmosphere is nothing less than welcoming.

Miracles Cafe is ideally located in Cardiff by the Sea. The ocean is its neighbor and the salty breeze and spectacular sunsets are its best friends; but these aren't the only reasons to visit this quaint cafe.

There is a unique and welcoming essence to Miracles. It is a comfortable place to go with close friends and get away from life, yet discuss life. The cafe has an outdoor patio with large tables suitable for studying, playing games, or just hanging out with friends.

In the early evening, the patio is the perfect place to sip a cup of cappuccino while watching the striking colors of the sunset cast themselves against the blue ocean water. "It's a good place to go and study to get away from the famil-

iar, dreadful atmosphere of my room and cluttered desk," said Jason Thompson, who visits the cafe often.

Presumably, Miracles holds its inviting qualities because it was an actual home during the '70s. Converted to a cafe in the early '80s, the coffeehouse still has a fireplace, wooden floors, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the room.

But the gourmet coffees that make up the menu are the principal reason to visit this cafe by the sea.

All the coffees are ground fresh daily from gourmet beans and they are robust and full of flavor. Yet, there is one difficulty, and that's deciding which one to order.

They've got everything from an iced cafe mocha to a double cafe latte. The menu also includes sandwiches, salads and an assortment of pastries that go nicely with the fresh blends.

There is still another reason to go to Miracles, and that's for the entertainment On Wednesdays and Saturdays there is live jazz. Classi-

Artist Anne Mudge gestures as she describes how she approaches and develops her art. Her exhibit, ''lndefmite Quantities and Other Sums," is now on display at the Boehm Gallery until Oct. 2.

Abstract art is alive, well and now on display at the Boehm Art Gallery.

Currently the work of two San Diego sculptors is being shown.

An exhibit of the works of David Engbritson and Anne Mudge opened Aug. 30, and will run until Oct2. .

Engbritson' s exhibit, called "New Works" consists of pieces largely constructed out of arc welded steel. In his art, Engbritson attempts to ask questions about beauty, value and forces beyond our control. Engbritson said in a recent interview "I don't iike to give solutions like 'this is the answer.' Everybody is going to come to these things with their own history. Their interpretation is going to be based on that history."

The crowd is accepting and willing to sing along when it feels necessary.

Gorwin said an artistic impulse led him to feature hummingbirds on a spinal X-ray.

Winning the award was something of a confirmation of his own skills, which have improved to the point that he felt confident enough to compete in the International Exhibition.

It~

my Opinion Patrick Gifford

Many issues arise from Tyson case One of today' s serious issues confronting our campuses and society in general is date rape.

Although this is an issue not normally found in the sports pages, it has been brought to the front by the four-count indictment handed down by an Indianapolis grand jury on Monday against former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

While I do not wish to decide Tyson's guilt or innocence, or try to decipher the signals between men and women that often get crossed, I am concerned about the possible outcome and repercussions of this case and how it may affect others.

What is decided by the courts on this case may change how celebrities are viewed, how they are treated, and how they may respond to fans forever.

Athletes have always been emulated, pampered, and now more so than ever, are in constant demand. Everyone wants to "hang" with aBo Jackson, say they know a Joe Montana, or be seen on a Sylvester Stallone's arm.

Jocks and rock stars (and even some politician's nephews) have long been rumored to have so-called "groupies." But what rights does a groupie have? How far can intrigue and infatuation go before it is illegal? What is fair game, when it comes to being a fan?

Are female fans opening themselves up for trouble by being alone with an athlete? Is it legitimate for stars to assume fans are offering sex along with their adoration? Or, in some cases is the celebrity the one who is being used?

In this materialistic day of "kiss and tellall," and the ever increasing amount of paternity suits that occur, it is apparent that some famous people are being taken advantage of.

Please assume for a moment that Tyson is innocent, and this was a chance to get him.

If he is found guilty, Tyson will go to prison, and will face a multi-million dollar settlement, and the woman will be set for life.

But if Tyson is guilty, I hope he gets what he deserves, because no matter what the circumstances rape can never be justified.

Water Polo enters '91 with new coach, faces

By Salvador Marquez Sports Writer

Last year, the Palomar College water polo team came within one game from going on to the state finals, a heady feat since the Comets came into the post-season with a losing record and was a perennial underdog in every play-off game.

Scoring sensation and hole.-man, Danny Gill and defensive ace Fred Gleason kept Comets' title hopes alive with their allconference play, but Palomar was bested by the eventual champions, Cuesta, 18-14.

The 1991 Comets now face new challenges, with the departures of Gill, Gleason and most of its 1990 team, and with a new coach -last year's Assistant Coach Brian Seymour who replaced last year's Head Coach Joe McEveety.

"This year, realistically, I'd like to see us

play fundamentally sound water polo," said Seymour. "I'd like to see us make the playoffs, and with our year projections, we should be peaking at the end of the year."

Which is the only way the team can go after the Comets' disastrous scrimmage tournament, Sept. 7, at Mesa College and its home opener loss on Sept. 10 against Long Beach City College. Losing 15-5 to Fullerton, 14-6 to Saddleback, 15-6 to Orange Coast and 26-5 to Long Beach, is evidence that the Comets needed further conditioning.

"We've only been in the water for two . weeks," said Seymour. "I've been working their butts off lately, but it will take about six weeks for a whole water polo team to swim a game non-stop without tiring.

"We going to be off to a slow start, but I can see us coming on strong in the end."

Which maybe advantageou's to the Comets, given the new play-off tournament for-

mat in the Orange Empire Conference, where all conference teams are invited and the winner goes on to the state finals.

Seymour also expects the Comets to upset a few teams, possibly conference favorites Grossmont and Orange Coast, to have a successful year.

One of the sophomores expected to lead the team is Mark Campbell, the new holemao- the water polo equivalent of a basketball center. Two newcomers have also taken prominent roles -Chico State transfer Jason Beadle (a fast swimmer and effective leader) and Dennis Watts, a left-bander (an advantage in water polo) described by Seymour as an excellent shooter.

Women's V'ball set for 1991 season

By Martin O'Neil Sports Writer Coach Teri McFarland is very excited about this year's women's volleyball team.

"This team has much more depth than recent teams in the past," said McFarland. · "This team is the strongest team we have had here in a long time."

This year's Palomar team has four returning players including a player that McFarland says is "one of the best hitters in the conference," outside-hitting specialist Stacee Alexander. Alexander, 6' I , was an All-Conference selection last year and is a strong allaround player. Also returning is Escondido High School graduate Kelly Mueller, a middle blocker and a good outside hitter, and two sisters, middle blocking Amanda Senk and outside hitter Katie Senk.

Other players who are looking to make an impact this year are outside hitters Lisa Pitcher and AlisaJenkins. Jenkins is a strong left-side hitter and will be a welcome addition offensively. Two strong middle blockers will help patrol the middle, Rochelle Dougherty and Montree Kiracofe. Backrow specialist Kimbra Bodily and setter Melissa Ulmer will also look to help Palomar win.

Palomar's home opener will be Friday, Sept. 13 against Saddleback College.

Forget sports teams, let's form quilting societies and clubs The late Bear Bryant, Alabama's legendary head football coach, said it best on why there is a big hoopla about college sports - "Nobody wants to watch the Math Club."

Apparently, nobody wants to watch our teams either.

It's already been a year at Palomar for me, so I understand the problems and issues surrounding junior college sports: they're commuter schools, everybody has a job, ad infinitum. Therefore, all those fans whopaid$20-plustowatch the Chargers at the Murph must not have anything better to do. A fool and his money, don't you know.

This campus-wide apathy is a mirror of our times. Nobody votes, there aren't any large scale student protests and who can name anyone running for the student government, much less anyone running the student government?

But apathy is wrong- who wants to live life as a zombie? For two or more years, the "Palomar experience" will be a black hole. Imagine a cop asking what you were doing between the years of 1990-92.

Say, maybe Bryant was wrong. Maybe people will root for the Math Club.

That's the ticket, abolish all sports teams at Palomar. Create math clubs, quilting societies and art teams.

We can set up the Dome for poetry readings, invite other schools, judge by points (so we don't waste the scoreboard) and then, see who wins. Betcha we take the conference title in quilting.

There can be an All-Madden student team- "Kalwalski is my type of guy. He doesn't fall for one of those wimpy word processors. Nah, he uses a typewriter, non-electric- TAP! Andlookathim tear into that dictionary, BAM! POW! "Yeah, Kalwalski is certainly on my All-Madden student team. Here's one essay-spewing, highlight-marking, machine, no test is too tough."

KKSM (Neo-99 FM, our college radio station) could do daily updates on the Math Club. Forget that, the graphics department can make a series of pictured flash cards, with important stats on the back like: word problem proficiency, finger spe¢ and brain capacity.

Out of Leftfield Salvador Marquez tions. The city papers can reserve a section in the SWlday edition. i Ya basta! Football is more fun.

So someone cancel the contract with the Pro Set Player Cards Company. I get the fWlny feeling that the Anthropology Club won't be making that order.

There are some sights to see around the "real Palomar sports world." One of these sights is the tandem of wrestling co-captains ¡ Dusty Harliss and Erik Johnson.

Co-captains last year, Harliss and Johnson are best described as "Fire and Ice" - Harliss is a fiery tempest of a wrestler, constantly getting into the faces of his teammates.

Johnson is taller, reminds others of a Viking warrior. But he doesn't exhibit any of its berserker tendencies outside of the mat. He, in fact, describes himself as very non-athletic in appearance.

Yet together, these two seem to excel in the roles of quiet leader and drill sergeant.

Lost in the praise of Palomar's no-huddle offense, a point-a-minute system most identified with Comets football, is any mention of its defense.

Head Coach Tom Craft has three weapons that are already being termed by local media as "The Samoan Nightmare" - defensive lineman Tamasi Amituanai, USC transfer and linebacker AL Aliilpule and his cousin Don Aliilupe, a noseguard.

Last year, the Comets pulled out a close game, 28-24, over the Antelope Valley Marauders to win the Hall of Fame Bowl for the second consecutive time. It was the defense and the special teams that carried the Comets that day.

With the current quarterback situation up in the air, between Andy Loveland and Charles "Choo-Choo" Walker, maybe this will be the year that the defense gets all the press.

By the way, about tomorrow's home opener against Cerritos - Palomar by 11 points.
