Palomar strikes it rich in search for water source By Corby Stutzman Feature Editor Palomar College has struck it rich with one of California's most precious resources, water, and 250 gallons of it per minute. School officials have expressed concern over California's water shortage and how it will affect Palomar. The college has been constructing plans for a well that will help meet the campus' demanding water needs. The plans, which have been in progress for the last two years, finally came together this week. Mike Ellis, director ofbuildings and grounds, said that the test well, at only 342 of the ultimate 500 feet goal, is producing 250 gallons of water per minute. The site of the test well is at the front of the campus, although several other sites were considered. Steve Spear, an earth science instructor, evaluated other sites for their prospective water productivity. He estimated that an area at the front of the theater would be the most productive, designating the front of the campus as his second choice.
Ellis expects the high water supply will continue because the college is in the path of a watershed. Restaurant Row is at the bottom of the watershed and has its own well. Palomar even went so far as to have a well- witcher use a divining rod to make his best estimation. His first choicewas exactly where the test well is. However, Ellis said that the site was chosen because of its proximity to the athletic fields, which is the main reason for the well. The fields require a large amount of water and recent water cutbacks have made if difficult to supply the amount necessary to keep them alive. He explained that the "fields would be dead if it weren't for the March rains," and
now if they aren't sufficiently watered and kept alive, many of the athletic programs will have to be cancelled. Ellis said that the fields will be the only immediate area on campus that will receive water from the well. Channeling it to other areas would require pumping stations which would cost extra money. The excessive amount of water may be due to a hydraulic crack in the earth, said Ellis, and he can't be sure if there will still be such an abundance until the goal of 500 feet has been reached, and if there is, the actual well will be constructed. Ellis said he expects the high water supply will continue because the college is in the path of a water shed. Restaurant Row in San Marcos is at the bottom of the watershed and it has its own well which has been very productive. "If a successful well is drilled, in the future pumping stations will be considered for the rest of the campus," said Ellis. This ultimately may allow water for the campus landscaping and Arboretum.

Faculty members seek collective bargaining union By Laura Woolfrey News Editor Hearings to establish which employees will be included in a potential faculty collective bargaining unit proceed today as administration and faculty voice their differing views. The district is opposed to the proposed collective bargaining unit, objecting that the inclusion of department chairpersons in the unit would be unlawful. The Rodda Act of 1976 first allowed public schools to have collective bargaining units. The vast majority of California community colleges have elected to form such an organization. With Palomar is one out of three of the I 03 community colleges in the state that have resisted unionization. President of United Faculty at Grossmont and Cuyamaca
Community College District Bruce Barnett said their union at first "scared the administration and governing board and the faculty almost went on strike." Barnett added there was never any debate concerning the inclusion of department chairs in their union. Despite the district's position on a collective bargaining contract, Palomar College Faculty Association members say they will continue to persue the inclusion of department chairs in the proposed unit and hope to come up with a reso!ution soon. The collective bargaining unit would give academic staff opportunity to negotiate issues relating to academics, salaries, fringe benefits and a myriad of other topics. Currently, faculty are not given the opportunity to (see UNION - page 12)

Daniel Arrezola "I'm self-motivated and want to get students involved with government. "One goal of mine is to fix the lockers, get new ones."
At the start of this fall semester, Associated Student Government President Erik Johnson said he hoped for a more competitive election in the (all. Now the election is a few days away and with nine people campaigning for six senator positions, Johnson has his wish. "This year we have more persons running than available positions," Johnson said, "and many of the candidates are already temporary senators." He said he hopes for more students to vote than last year, when the election attracted approximately 135 voters out of a student body of 26,000. With the candidate forum on Sept. 18 and the "Meet Your Candidates Day" on Monday, Sept. 23, ASG members said they hope to generate more voters this year.
And what kind of senators does Johnsoq want elected? "Self-motivators," Johnson said, "where they won't have to come ask me or Jim (Bowen, director of student activities) questions all the time." "We need go-getters," Johnson adds, "people who want to get things done and not just throw parties." He said he is looking for senators that are serious about issues concerning hours at the library and health services department. The elections will be held Sept. 25 and 26. The election tables will be in the Student Union. both days from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., then again at night from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30p.m. The clected senators perform duties that include serving on various committees around campus and meeting with other representatives from local colleges to discuss issues concerning community college students and schools.
Sharon Gully "I believe being a temporary senator gives me an advantage. It helps me be aware of the issues and who I'll be working with. "I want to make more students aware of ASG. We can only do this by accomplishing things that they ask for."
Lainie Trigas "Being a senator now is a big advantage. I know how things work. "I'd like to work on making Palomar a more enjoyable place to go. "More activities for students are needed."
Massimo Bordi "I want to try to establish a judiciary committee. I know how the ASG works, and I know a lot of people. "Ten people (ASG) don't run the school, the students need to come forward."
Tom Turk "I have experience from last year from being a senator. "I don't want to see the students at Palomar get pushed around."
George Georgalis "I'm interested in more art shows here at Palomar. "I'd like Palomar to have another student store that would offer reasonable prices. Another objective is to fix the showerheads in the locker rooms."
f:laywood Chambers "Palomar has the same needs as other larger schools do. Serving as president of my high school's government has given me experience."
Anthony Montroy "I've served on Poway High's ASB and on budget committee for the school district. "Getting an automatic teller machine on campus is one thing I'd like to see, and I'm already working on it."
Alan Miller "I'm open-minded to issues. "I want to make things easier for students. A survey of what problems students have will help me do that."

Educational TV awarded By Sean Fitting Staff Writer Now Palomar students can watch an award-winning video about their awardwinning school on local cable channels. Last spring Palomar was given two prestigious film awards for a 13-minute promotional video titled"Palomar College Carrying on the Tradition of Excellence." The video currently airs on Daniels Cable Channell! and Dimension Cable Channel29 and provides community residents and prospective students vision of what Palomar can provide. The production, jointly produced by Educational Television (ETV) and the Public Information Department, received a Paragon award for placing second in a national
tution, student services, student activities and was well organized under a central theme." It was, primarily shot on campus, according to Hawks. Other parts were shot "on location,'.' by using ETV remote production equipment Hawks said. He also said that five alumni were featured at their place of employment. Norton named a few of these including a counseling office, a flight school and some footage, arranged by an alumna, featuring a Guatemalan Court. The film also had its preliminary editing done on campus. However, Hawks said that "final editing had to be done off campus at World Video, in order to do special effects we can't do here." Former Manager of Productions and Operations at ETV, Dan Arden, directed and edited the project Other Palomar staff crucial in the films creation were Hawks and

The video also took a first place Public Relations Organization (PRO) award in a competition sponsored by the Community College League of California at a ceremony in Long Beach last April. Both awards were given for "overall excellence of video production," said Producer and Communication faculty member Dana Hawks. Dr. Michael Norton, director of the public information department, said he thought the video was selected because, "it showed an excellent cross section of programs and successful alumni, the high quality of the insti-
Board approves budget By Andrea Cavanaugh Staff Writer The Palomar College Board of Trustees unanimously approved the 1991-92 spending plan during a special meeting on Sept. 3. Approval of the $45 million unrestricted funds budget followed a public hearing on the subject A budget presentation was made by Mike Gregoryk, vice president of finance and administrative services. While discussing various sources of revenue, Gregoryk said the state of California has provided no funding for cost of living adjustments (COLA). Gregoryk explained that under
the new state funding plan, Palomar has been changed from a low to a high-revenue district. He said the state has not yet responded to inquiries as to why the change was made. He also noted that state growth funding intended for the hiring of new faculty provides only for salary and benefits and does not include money for office space and other needs. This has required some creativity in order to accommodate staff. "We've made every broom closet into an office." Gregoryk said. In other business, hearings were (see BUDGET- page 12)

Donna Robillard who worked on the script The Governing Board originally asked for and allocated the money through President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs' office and the district fund, according to Hawks. Norton clarified that other sources of funding were a co-operative effort by ETV arid the Public Information office. "The target audience was primarily for local community organizations in the Palomar District," said Norton. He said the idea came from a board member who wanted to show it to the Kiwinas Club. It is however, "general enough for other purposes and has been used in fund raising efforts for the college," he said. The awards are on display at the ETV offices in room P-33. Currently ETV, under its new Production Mariager Patty Moyer, is working on a video magazine titled "Discover San Marcos."

Bush needs to focus on policies at home In case you haven't heard, George Bush is a shoe-in to serve another four years as President of the United States. There is no way the Democrats are going to beat him in the next presidential elections no matter who he chooses as his running mate; Pee-Wee Herman couldn't ruin this ticket. Yet, what Bush must do now is return to a policy of 1".:>lationism. The United States has too many domestic problems to play surrogate parent to the rest of the world. With the formation of the European Common Community next year and Japan's ever-growing influence, we must rebuild and, consequently, restore America as the world's economic leader. Since World War II, America has spent an outrageous amount of money protecting the rest of the world from the "Red Menace." In the wake of current events however, we can now afford to invest our tax dollars into American growth. How often do we hear the business community lament the declining level of job skills? Well, let's invest in the education of these young minds. If we provide American businesses with bright, capable employees, they should be better prepared to compete with the world's best, provided they don't die from life-threatening diseases first. With the cost of medicine skyrocketing, it will become imperative to protect citizens against the possibility of a fmancial ruin from serious illnesses. The United States needs to implement a national health-care system or more and more hospitals will continue to lose money caring for uninsured patients. If we don't go bankrupt paying for our hospital bills another fate could await us; we could drown in our own trash. Bush needs to implement a national program for recycling waste. So far the Environmental Protection Agency has been a disappointment. The government needs to take a pro-active role in shaping America' s future. The rest of the world looks to our country for leadership and it is our duty to fulfil their expectations, considering our recent history. The best leaders lead by example and we as Americans must show how business and government can work together to guarantee a safe future for the citizens of the world.
Stephen Kenney Staff Writer
Response to Thomas article The views expressed in Hank Tritchka's pro-Clarence Thomas editorial are quite disturbing. He expressed an opinion that is common throughout the upper middle-class. This mentality is that of negligence and lack of social responsibility. Thomas is a tool being used by Bush and his elites to shadow their true views. It is obvious that Thomas himself is also a quota.

Readers stand to lose political variety with Union-Tribune merger Perhaps the saddest thing a journalist witnesses in his or her career is the folding of a newspaper. And so goes the story with the San Diego Tribune. After over 90 years of publication, San Diego's afternoon paper will merge with The San Diego Union next year. With this merger people will lose an important news source,along with one of the few major liberal voices in the local political marketplace of ideas. The growth in popularity of live television news , is partly to blame for this. The popularity of newspapers has been in a downswing over the last few years. This has mainly been attributed to the increasing availability of news on the spot as it's happening from sources like CNN and other television news organizations. In a fast-paced world, people don't seem to have the time to sit down and read the paper, and instead opt to have the information fed to them by television. As a result, newspapers have suffered as readership has decreased. When a society moves as fast as ours, it is much easier to listen or watch the news in the form of "sound bytes" on television or radio. It's simply a matter of habit. The one thing that a newspaper can offer that most halfhour or sometimes even full-hour news programs. can't is indepth coverage and analysis. By missing this important aspect of news, people simply hear of the event happening but don't know why the event happened or about its effect on other areas of society. Some newspapers have attempted to entice readers weaned on TV visuals through the use of "faster formats." In order to compete with today's television media, many newspapers have attempted to develop "faster format" styles of reporting, full of color and short stories- television news on paper, you could say. The Los Angeles Times, Times Advocate and USA Today are all examples of this. During my time as a news intern at a local daily over the summer, I had the opportunity to witness a company meeting with employees. It was there that the publisher proposed improvements and expansion of the paper for "customer delight." He said that although the newspaper's purpose was
Point of View Roman S. Koenig
to gather news, it was also a business, and businesses have to survive. If readership is lost, advertisers will not buy space in the paper. In a business sense, the merger of the Union and Tribune will make the unified paper a circulation powerhouse when subscribers of the papers begin receiving the same thing. On the dark side, however, the merger creates a news monopoly in San Diego. Even though the papers had always been owned by Copley Newspapers, Inc., they ran on separate staffs, editorial boards and styles; it was like a nonmonopolistic monopoly. This new monopoly will not just be irlformational or economic, however. For all of these years, the two papers have balanced each other out in terms of political views. Helen Copley said that the new Union-Tribune will combine the best of the two papers, and that may be so. But the bottomJine is that many people in the county will be relying on one printed source for news. On top of that, thesisterpaperthat has served as the liberal voice in San Diego will no longer exist. Newspapers have always served as a voice for one political orientation or another, and this one will be silenced. In people's push to get news faster and easier, they are slowly losing the one medium that serves as the true voice of information and a smorgasbord for ideas. The UnionTribune merger is a perfect example of this loss, and it is a tragic loss indeed.

ShaJ""es gJ"-ippit\9 collectiot\ Story by Salvador Marquez Poway resident David Haimes, 19, is characteristic of the 26,000 studentshereatPalomar.Hehasn't declared a major, but plans to transfer to San Diego State. He has a Golden Retriever named "Freebie," a German Shepherd named "Shadow" and a house cat named "Kissy Cat" His brother came up with that name, Haimes confessed. Haimes is even a Padres fan. Just one normal, average college student - who owns a 15foot, 90-pound Reticulate python, named "Monty." Yes, "Kissy Cat" is still purring and undigested at the printing of this issue. But she stays far enough away. "Freebie" and "Shadow" will occasionally sniff at "Monty"otherwise they keep their distance. "Monty" is one of eight pythons that Haimes owns, a hobby he's had since he was 11. Most pythons will cost between $100200 as hatchlings-"Monty" may eventually be valued at $3,000. He will also grow in size as well as worth; Reticulate pythons can grow to30feetandstretch to180pounds. But Haimes isn't interested in seeing "Monty" off, since he's into pythons for fun, not pro~t. Now known as ''The Snakeman" around campus, Haimes wasn't always so. Before his older sister Norma got Haimes interested in snakes, he used to have a general dislike for them. "I used to just throw rocks at them. I'd see them and pelt them with rocks," said Haimes. "I don't

Time with the snake shed away some of the myths about snakes. All snakes are not poisonous, particularly pythons since they rely on suffocation to kill their prey, says Haimes. They're not dangerous, or have vicious bites and they're leathery, not slimy. But they do like mice, and if one isn' t available, then a hamster will do. "I had just gotten a Ball python and my sister and I thought of placing her hamster and my snake together in the same cage," recalled Haimes. "At the time, I had completely forgotten that pythons eat hamsters." So there was the hamster, twitching her nose, and his Ball python, flicking his tongue, and both staring eye-to-eye. Finally, his python realized lunch was served and lunged for the furry rodent "We panicked. Her hamster was sticking out of my snake's mouth," he said. "I grabbed my snake and whipped him like Indiana Jones. He fmally let go, but that sent the hamster flying." The hamster was fine. A hole in its ear was the only reminder of the harrowing experience - though the hamster probably had to go through therapy. Every once and a while, Haimes gets a chance to exhibit his slither-

Paramedic students work towards cominon goal By Andrea Cavanaugh
Staff Writer
Palomar's paramedic students learn the tricks of the medical trade.
Debi Moffat is fascinated by the evolution of naive, enthusiastic students into a close-knit group of professional paramedics. "They become close to each other as they work together for a common goal," Moffat said of her students. As director of Palomar's Emergency Medical Education Program (formerly Allied Health), Moffat has seen four groups of students complete the 10-month program to become certified paramedics. The program is rigorous with strict requirements for admission. Aspirants must be certified as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) with a minimum of six months experience working in the field. Applicants are also required to complete a college-level anatomy course and pass an entrance test, an oral interview and a physical exam, she said. Once admitted to the program, a student can expect a lot of hard work, according to Moffat. Heavy
studying, constant scrutiny and as many as three tests per day are standard fare in these classes. The first semester of the program involves a lecture schedule of approximately 21 hours per week. During the second semester, after a short review period, students go to work in a hospital in order to practice skills they have learned in the program, Moffat explained. A variety of medical techniques are taught during the course of the program, according to Rita Stuckey, paramedic/EMT instructor. Skills covered range from giving injections,(which is first practiced on fruit) to extricating accident victims from automobiles. One important skill which instructors seek to develop in their students, Stuckey said, is "trymg to manage [an emergency] scene and deliver patient care at the same time." Once they have completed their hospital training, students progress to riding in ambulances throughout San Diego county as functioning paramedics.
Ifstudents are going to "fail out," it generally happens at this time, Moffat said. She estimates 25 to 30 percent of students do not complete the course. "Just because you learn the information in your head does not mean you can put it to your hands, and do the job," she said in explanation. Uponcompletionoftheprogram, students are required to pass a written test administered by the state to become certified paramedics. Students are enthusiastic about the quality of the program. Mark Hurlock was drawn by the reputation of Palomar's program. "I talked to people who had been here in the previous classes who said it's a really good program," he said. "I'm enjoying it a lot myself." One reason cited for the success of the program is the quality of instruction, according to student DebbieSchack. AlongwithMoffat and Stuckey, EMT/First Aid Instructor Bruce Fried and Staff Assistant Toni Griffith comprise the EMT staff.

Audience boogies to a Brubeck beat By Amelia Bowles Editor-in-Chief He came, he played and he conquered. Dave Brubeck and his quartet hit Palomar College last Friday night like a tropical hurricane and no one came away untouched. This silver-haired fox and company blasted a packed house in a rare San Diego concert put on by the Palomar College Foundation Board as a fund raiser for the school. It was-evident early on that the world-renowned jazz musician has not lost his touch in the 40-plus years that he has been performing. If anything, he and his quartet, which consists of Bill Smith on clarinet, Jack Six on bass and Randy Jones on drums, has aged like a fine wine. Brubeck's quartet played favorites from the '50s and' 60s as well as new pieces including an exclusive first-time public performance of music that was recorded during the T.V. film series "Snoopy Sees America." The show opened with a song written by Brubeck's brother Howard, "Theme for June." It was a soft touching piece that allowed Brubeck and his quartet to evoke musical images of lovers walking through a park in the fall. Jones' light touch on the drums, Six's
BRUBECK UP-CLOSE AND PERSONAL By Amelia Bowles Editor-in-Chief Lean and lanky with a shock of silver-white hair and bushy eyebrows, Dave Brubeck leans back on the sofa. Wrapping his long slender fmgers around the back of his head, he recalls how his relationship with Palomar College began. According to Brubeck, it was his brother Howard - a former dean of humanities and music instructor at Palomar - who introduced him to Palomar back when there were less than 200 students attending. "Hey Howard," shouts Brubeck. "What year was that when we had that two-day arts symposium?" It was in 1966when the art and music building was first
opened, Howard replies. Howard said that several famous artists, musicians,writers and photographers came to Palomar to work with the students and he asked his brother to come. "I played in the dining hall that time," Brubeck recalls softly. "It was an open session and the students could ask questions," he added. "I also played a concert in the Domewithmythreesonswhenmy brother retired from Palomar. So there ' s a long history with Palomar," he said. Brubeck's jazz history goes back even further. "My mother was a classical piano teacher and ran a music store. My brother Henry was a jazz drummer and used to practice at the store. I was about 7 or 8 and I would go and
listen to him play," he said. By 1947 Brubeck had started his original quartet. Over the years, Brubeck's quartet has included such jazz greats as saxophonist Paul Desmond. Today his quartet consists of Bill Smith on clarinet, Jack Six on bass and Randy Jones on drums. According to Brubeck, audience size doesn't really matter to him, it's the type of audience. "My last concert was two nights ago at the Hollywood Bowl to over 15,000 people. The night before that it was at Pepperdine University to maybe 400 or 500 people," he said. "The hardest audience in the world, I think, is the Hollywood Bowl. But, if the moon's in the right place, which it was that
mellow bass sounds and Smith's smooth clarinet all blended intricately with Brubeck's lilting piano. The audience was hooked. Cracking jokes while introducing his first song, Brubeck said with a chuckle in his voice "I improvised on this so don't blame Howard." The audience roared with laughter. Howard Brubeck is a former dean of humanities and music instructor at Palomar and is a longtime member of the Foundation Board. The old familiar "Shine On Harvest Moon" was played in a jazz rendition that sparks a playful teasing between Brubeck and his fellow musicians. All four seemed like children playing ball as they changed time and tempos on each other. Brubeck raised his shoulders and grinned at each musician as if to say "try to match this," and they in tum match him. Jones mesmerized the audience and his fellow musicians with an amazing drum solo that was based on a Hebrew chant written 2,000 years ago. With his eyes slammed shut and face scrunched up, his attack on the drums was so intense that the drumsticks could not be seen moving. When it was over, the audience went wild with cheers and applause. The humor in Brubeck's
compositions became evident in the music from "Snoopy Sees America." The genesis for the piece was a scene in the T.V. series where Peppermint Patty rides a stationary bicycle in a spaceship. Based on "A Bicycle Built For Two," only done Peanuts-style, it's a happy fast-rhythmed piece that is expressive and visual. It sounded just like Snoopy music. Smith shines on the clarinet with his new-age like rendition of "Once When I Was Very Young." This haunting melody conjures up thoughts of innocence reminiscent of younger days lying on the grass and watching clouds play with eagles. When Brubeck and his group played the well-known favorite "Take Five" the audience thundered with applause. Jones once again attacked his drums like a cheetah running after its prey. This piece brought the audience to its feet with thunderous cries of "encore!' encore!" Unable to resist the audience's demands, the group played an old Benny Goodman tune, ''Take The A-Train." Smith played an excellent rendition of the song on his clarinet and the audience was not disappointed. They gave the quartet another standing ovation.
night, something good can happen,"he said with a Jimmy Stewart-like voice. Brubeck also said that the way he relates to his audience depends on how the concert is presented. "Is it going to be a picnic with everyone eating or is it going to be a listening audience? Those are the things you have to face from the stage," he said. "I want my audience to become the fifth part of the quartet." Suddenly he chuckles to himself as he recalls a time when he played at Lutheran College. His agent said that this would be the worst concert of his life. ''These were organ students and choir directors and it was the best audience I ever played for. They came prepared to listen," he said with a grin. "It's like taking an Englishman to a baseball game. Sometimes you get an immediate convert and other times you have to explain the rules and no one enjoys the concert," he adds. Though Brubeck has played to audiences all over the world, getting things set up for a concert can be a challange. One time
Brubeck played at the Orange County Fair. The manager came up to him and asked "Where' s your piano?" Fortunately, according to Brubeck, there was a tent on the grounds that was selling organs. Then laughing loudly he said, "It was the first time in my life I had ever played an organ for a concert. But if I hadn't played it, there would not have been a concert." Brubeck leans forward, contemplating his next words when suddenly his eyes light up and a large grin spreads across his face. "Once I was in Bombay, India to play a concert. Steinway Piano Company had sent nine pianos to various parts of India when I was going to play," he recalls. "By the time I got there none were useable. The felts had swollen due to the moisture." According to Brubeck he located a 12-foot long piano called a Bosendorfer, "biggest piano I had ever seen." He asked if it could be moved to the stadium 12 miles away and after some discussion 30

The afternoon before the concert, Brubeck took the time to relax and do a little practicing at the home of his brother, Howard Brubeck, who is a member of the Palomar College Foundation Board. The benefit concert was sponsored by the board.
Brubeck and other members of the quartet look on as drummer Randy Jones mesmerized the audience with a captivating solo performance. Jones has been playing the drums with Brubeck and the quartet sincejoing the group in 1978.
Brubeck (continued from page 8) men showed up to move it ''They carried it out to the street and put the piano over their heads. Then in a military-like cadence, as no one could miss a step, carried it down the street,'' he recalls. Brubeck said he felt badly about how the piano had to be moved but was told that in India, that is the only way it could be done. Despite the challenges, Brubeck's main love is his music. With no intention of retiring, Brubeck said, "I can't think of anything much more fun.'' Then with sudden sadness in his voice he adds, {It's sad thatArnericajust left jazz musicians to struggle on their own with no government help or support. Jazz guys are so important to this world.

Comets Football drops opener 23-12 Five turnovers account for home loss against Cerritos By Salvador Marquez and Patrick Gifford
Its my Opinion
Sports Writer and Sports Editor
Patrick Gifford
Nixon loses his fight, while others take the punch Otis Nixon screwed up! Nixon, the Atlanta Braves leadoff hitter, and the major leagues stolen base leader was suspended Monday for 60 days for using cocaine. As a result of his suspension there are now a countless number of people who will be affected. The ftrst tier of people that will suffer are Nixon's teammates, who are in a rare pennant race. They will miss him on the fteld, and it will surely make things uneasy in the clubhouse. Secondly, are the fans of Atlanta, who have shown their team an unprecedented amount of support. Now they may not have a chance to watch their team in the post season. Following that are the team's owner and the city of Atlanta itself. If they wind up in second, they will lose all the merchandising money that goes with ftelding a winning team. But who do you suppose is going to suffer the most, and wind up as the biggest loser? Without a doubt it will be Otis Nixon. Nixon, who reportedly had been "clean" since a 1987 arrest for cocaine possession, was having the best season of his career. He was on a pennant contender, and was expecting a huge pay raise when he became a free-agent after the season. He had tested negative to more than 200 straight league-monitored drug tests. It appeared that-he had fought his addiction and won. However, no one wins this ftght, a person can only have success on a day-to-day basis. Sadly enough, probably no one more than Nixon knows this to be true. It really irritates me though, when people say, "what a jerk, he has all that fame and money, and goes out and does drugs and throws it all away." Well folks, drugs don't play favorites, they'll ruin anyone's life. Instead of condemning Nixon and the millions of others who are suffering and ftghting every day, we should recognize the incredible control that drugs can have on any one. We've seen enough examples, let's try to end it here.

Dejected Comets offensive lineman Erik Johnson ponders how last Saturday's home opener got away. Cerritos College, 13th-ranked in the nation, took advantage of Palomar's inconsistent defensive and special teams' play and a shaky offense, 23-12.
When Head Coach Tom Craft's football team opened at home last Saturday against the Cerritos College Falcons, he envisioned only two reasons how the Palomar Comets could lose: turnovers and blown defensive coverage. Five turnovers, including two fumbles inside the Falcon 20, and several blown coverages later, Palomar, 20th in the nation, lost to the 13th ranked Cerritos Falcons, 2312. "I was disappointed on our coverage on kiclCs," said Craft. "They are a good football team - if we played a mistake-free ball game, we could have beat them." But errors and big plays cost the Comets early. In the ftrst quarter, Cerritos recovered a bad snap on the Palomar 17. Determined Comets defense held the Falcons to only a fteld goal, giving the Falcons a 3-0 lead. Cerritos took advantage of a weak special team coverage to advance the ball to the Palomar 35-yard line- six plays later the Falcons crossed the goal line for a 10-0 lead. An Andy Loveland to Jerry Garrett 78-yard touchdown strike, plus David Napier's ftrst of two fteld goals closed the lead to 10-9. In the third quarter, Napier drilled his second fteld goal, giving Palomar its only lead, 12-10. But the defense was plagued all day with the big-play bug. Falcons quarterback Dean Grosfeld hit his receivers with 60- and 41-yard bombs, including a 61-yard touchdown to receiver Cliff Parks. After a Peters 1 yard touchdown run in the third quarter, Cerritos never looked backed, as it took the lead for good 16-12. A loss because of turnovers, special teams and defensive lapses is a blow to the expectations Palomar has for its football team. Palomar, with all-state wide receiver Myron Wise and defensive tackle Amituanai returning, are expected to have a deep team. Include Mission conference all-star wide receivers Garrett, Choo-Choo Walker, tight

Experienced coaching is key for Women's Soccer By Sean Dean

If you thought last year's women's soccer an 8-23 state title-contending squad, then watch out for this year's team. The Comets already have a 5-0 record and plan to go on the warpath Tuesday as they visit the El Camino Warriors. "This team is the best coached team in the nation with the best talent in the state," said Assistant Coach Henry Sosa, who has had three outdoor soccer championships of his own as a coach. Look at Head Coach Jacques LaDouceur, who has been a member of many championships while as a player for the San Diego Sockers, and it's easy to say that championship experience abounds in the coaching t~ at Palomar College was good,
staff. Put simply, Palomar is very fortunate. The Comets are also fortunate to have last year's leading scorer in the state, forward Allison Gibson, returning for another year. Gibson was runner-up for M.V.P. in the state last year and as stated by Coach Sosa, "She is the top player in the state this year." Gibson scored both goals in Palomar's 21 victory over Moorpark College, last Tues- · day. Five of her eight goals were made during the Sept. 14 Bakersfield Tournament As for her supporting cast, Palomar puts forth some more great talent to keep an eye on-returning center-midftelder Stephanie Case and midftelders Kim Franzen and Karmyn Clark. The talent does not stop there. The Comets have some new players to add to the winning chemistry for this year's team.
Mindy Billen and Monica Delin, both from up north, could make a big impact for Palomar and their quest for the state title this season. Last but not least, is perhaps even the most important player on the fteld for the Comets, the team's new goalie. Allison Shannon, who will be guarding the net this season, will make a big impact for the team this season, according to Sosa. "The team has been working hard aild since there are more skill players this year, we don't have to teach them that much," coach Sosa said. As for their toughest competition this year, "Ourselves," stated coach Sosa. "We just got to keep from beating ourselves and we will be okay." The Comets frrst home game is Oct 1 at 3 p.m. against Orange Empire Conference opponent Mt San Antonio College.

on and 24 hours off. Firefighter Mike Morley confessed to dual motivations in becoming a paramedic. He enrolled in the program "to progress in my career."
She cited excitement and variety as common reasons for students to enter the paramedic program.
He wants to become a paramedic because, "I feel I can help people more with paramedic skills than with EMT skills," he said as he injected a piece of citrus fruit with water.
"They like the constant change," she said. Moffat also said students are attracted by the unusual working hours. Professional paramedics typically work shifts of24 hours

ing pets at a local high school. He does this to help others get over their fear of snakes. Some, however, need more time. While at Poway High School, Haimes was invited to show-off his snakes for a science class. His teacher let Haimes have the run of the room, which meant that his snakes would roarn free in the room, before class. Unfortunately, a friend of his wasn't aware of this until it was too late. "She didn't notice them, I guess, until she saw one crawl up the table," said Haimes. "She screamed and ran out the room. Her voice would have shattered any glasses in the room. "I didn't see much of her after that."
In the differences between men and women, add one more: women take to snakes easier than men. "Guys seem to back off from snakes," said Haimes. "Girls are more curious, will come back and pet them after backing away." There may be a day when Haimes will have to say good-bye to "Monty" and the rest of the troupe. Strict laws concerning pets are enforced in the San Diego city limits and Haimes has only one sure haven, Poway. Regrettably, even Palomar has its rules, and Haimes was escorted out to his car, with "Monty" and two other pythons - "Sandy Desert Storm", an albino Burmese python and "Burmie" a Burmese python.
