Classes cancelled after second power outage Construction worker nearly electrocuted after hitting underground power line Wednesday morning By Sara Skol Staff Writer
Michael Bagstad/Phorography Editor
A shaken Allan Rodriguez after his close brush with death Tuesday morning at Palomar.
Construction worker Allan Rodriguez narrowly escaped electrocution Tuesday. At exactly 7:50a.m., Rodriguez's digging bar hit a 12,000 volt power cable, shutting down power all over the campus. Most classes were cancelled until 6 p.m. "The thought I'd never see my children or wife again went through my mind," said the badly shaken Rodriguez. "What saved me was the water in the conduit which grounded the electricity- otherwise (the electricity) would have traveled up the metal bar to me." Rodriguez is foreman of the A.M. Ortega Construction Company, contracted to build a storm drain system in conjunction with the widening of Mission Road at Los Posas Ave. Phones, computers and lights on campus were off all morning. While most classes were cancelled, some teachers such as Tom Humphrey and Larry Williams in the business department said that neither of their voices "ran on electricity," so students should show up for their classes. Students and teachers milled around in the 100 degree plus temperature. Some students and teachers braved the heat and held classes out doors. The cafeteria closed as did the the Frozen Yogurt shop and Pepe' s Mexican Cuisine. Soft drink machines were not operating. Cindy Shand, food service supervisor, said, "We lost about three-fourths of a day's business." She added that the food service staff packed the food in $195 worth of dried ice. No food was lost, she said. Mike Norton, director of public information, said a back-up battery run system kept the phones operating until about 10 a.m. He said cancellation of day classes was announced on the radio. "The last time we had
CAMPUS SHUT¡DOWN: A photo essay about the outage is featured on page 7. a major power outage which disrupted the campus was Jan. II during spring registration. The computers were down and all student appointments had to be rescheduled," Norton added. "That guy (Rodriguez) was lucky," said Mike Ellis, director of facilities. "It was a miracle he wasn't fried," said Ellis. Ellis is not sure what saved Rodriguez but theorized that he "hit the concentric ground wires which took a majority of the shock." He added that insulated boots and gloves probably helped saved Rodriguez. When the power went out Ellis directed his crew to shut down equipment such as the air conditioning which carries the heaviest electrical load. Electricity returned at 12:55 p.m., but most students and staff had gone home. Evening classes were held as scheduled.

Students voted for six student senate positions on Sept. 25 and 26. Last spring, 135 students turned out ot vote. This fall that number jumped to 360. Nine students ran for the six positions avalaible.
Last week's senatorial election was the most positive election in the last few years, according to Associated Student Government Senator Denny Ngo. Election results doubled since last election bringing in 360 votes as opposed to 135 last spring. Anthony Montroy, Lainie Trigas, Tom Turk, Massimo Bordi, Haywood Chambers and Daniel Arrezola captured the six open senate seats Sept. 25 and 26. They were sworn in Wednesday. Because voting only occurs at the main campus, approximately 18,000 students had ready access to voting. Two of the senators, Chambers and Arrezola are new to the ASG, while the others are incumbents. Montroy said that campaigning helped the election. 'Tm pleased that it (voter turnout) is up 200 percent from last year." He added that he would like to see at least 10 percent of the student body voting.
•
ec1on 'We should be able to get a lot accomplished with this group (of senators).' Erik Johnson President of Student Government Ngo agreed and added that competition between candidates helped improve voter turnout. In past elections not enough candidates ran to fill all vacant seats in the government. This term was different. "With six seats and nine candidates," said Ngo, "It makes candidates campaign for the seats they are running for." Ngo added that the increase in voters may affect balloting procedures. "We're looking into changing to scantron, where we can fmd out the results faster," he said. "We should be able to get a lot accomplished with this group,"said ASG Presient Erik Johnson.
Badrudoza continues plight for political asylum This is the second installment in a two-part series. By Salvador Marquez Staff Writer His banners are down, folded neatly and put away in the SU building. But Abu Ala Badrudoza's hunger strike to gain amnesty in the United States continues. "I don't think I'll last two days," Badrudoza said Wednesday night "I'm so weak." Badrudoza has already collected 1,200 signatures for his cause 900 which he has turned into the Immigration Naturalization Service. As of press time, Badrudoza has gone for 14 days without food,
determined to maintain his strike until the INS grants him his wish. Now at the University of California at San Diego, Muir College, he protests by day, sleeps in bus terminals by night Coming to America Having gone through torture (he still has scars of cigarette burns) and political persecution, Badrudoza fled his country in 1987. He made his way to America a year later. But a logjam developed at the gates of America, in the form of 10,000 _political asylum cases, that the INS has to wade through. Badrudoza became another case in 1988. It has been three years and Badrudoza is still waiting: the INS

PART TWO has unofficially told him to wait for seven years, but this isn't a finn promise, said Kent Backart, Palomar dean of Student Support Services- who has been working on Badrudoza's behalf. A Time to protest Having escaped from political persecution in Bangladesh only to face bureaucratic walls in this country, Badrudoza found himself protesting the government of the country he considered a Mecca. "I'm not against the people in the INS, because all these immigration procedures must pass in Congress," said Badrudoza. "The people who are leading the Congress right now are
Congress right now are responsible for these tricky laws. "I have reason to believe that these things happening in my life - making me wait for seven frustrating years - is very political." He has tried nearly every avenue; starting on Sept. 19 with a week-long protest at Palomar, he also has sought lawyers (though money_ is still a problem), Amnesty International, the American Civil Liberties Union, and United States Representative Ron Packard. "We have certain avenues which we have to follow," said Kathleen Rodems, a congressional liaison to Packard. "Wearedoingthebestwecan, but its a very long, slow process."

will work out for Badrudoza. "The Bush Administration does not want to embarrass the present government of Bangladesh," said Archer. "They don't wantto admit that Bangladesh's government tortures its citizens. "If the press ever got word that this individual had been tortured, and then was being returned to his torturers, the Bush Administration would have to back off and let him remain in this country." Archer compares Badrudoza's situation to those ofEl Salvadoran refugees- who like him are in limbo with regards to their status in the United States. According to Archer, political refugees will remain here, while those coming here for economic reasons will return to El Salvador. The years on the run in Bangladesh and the three years of anxiety in this country has been a burden on Badrudoza. According to Backart, in his first year in the United States Badrudoza was a mOdel student and a hard worker -but he has slipped since then. The years produce frustration After building up for years, stress may have caught up to Badrudoza. "You can equate the terror that he has experienced in his country to the torture, the pain and the abuse that a child goes through when he ·or she is physically, mentally or sexually abused," said Frank Puchi, a professional counselor at Palomar. Badrudoza acknowledges his stress - caused by a faulty immigration policy. In spite of this, he is single-minded in his purpose. "If I cannot find democracy here," said Badrudoza, "I should die because there would be no place for me. "Just pray for me."

AIR QUALITY PROBLEMS CONTINUE
Library workers moved By Amelia Bowles Editor-in-Chief The health woes plaguing the Palomar College Library for the last nine years still exist and for three library worker going to work means working in a trailer. Gladys Collins, an 11-year library technician for acquisitions has been transferred out of the main building along with two co-workers, into a trailer located by the Graphic Arts Building. "I was told to stay away from the building sinceJuly," she said. Along with Collins, Michelle Burks, a clerical assistant for acquisitions, and Jean Young a library technician for the cataloging department also moved with her. Though Collins said she is grateful to the senior administrators who removed her from an environment that has made her ill, "I want to go back," said Collins. "I miss my co-workers and the library atmosphere. It's like home," she said. Collins first became ill in 1985 after noticing a pungent chemical smell while working on the library's first floor. "It burned my eyes and nose, put blisters on my toungue, caused massive headaches and

Women can learn to prevent the crime By Sara Skol Staff Writer "When we reached the hotel room I came back to reality and put on the brakes. Then he literally pulled me into the room and forced me onto the bed. "I fought back but was powerless. The next day I felt sick, angry and exploited. "He was an older, successful man and I had a crush on him. At the party he started bringing me drinks-something called a 'Hurricane'-and I was thrilled by his attention." This sounds like something out of a cheap novel, but it is true. Cathy was young and flattered by the attentions of an older man. According to her,she had been drinking, made some wrong choices and was raped. Sexual activity that goes too far and becomes abhorrent to the woman has become a public issue. Time magazine writer, Nancy Gibbs, says, "The tale of Good Friday in Palm Beach landed in the news because it involved a Kennedy, but it may end up a watershed case because all the mysteries and passions surround-
ing date rape are here to be dissected." Palomar's policy on sexual assault, including date rape, was revised in March of this year. The policy promotes a "safe learning and working environment" that "is free of physical and psychological threat.'' The district will provide a program of education and service to minimize the risk of sexual assault and will terminateorexpelanypersonfoundguilty of rape. Victims of campus related date rape should contact Campus Patrol, which will contact the Sheriffs Department and Student Health Services. Yasmen Scihllig, a nurse at Student Health Services said, "The quicker the situation is dealt with the better." Emotional support is very important as [the incident] may haunt the victim." She added that a doctor on the Health Services staff would check for disease and be very supportive. Schillig said that the Women's Resource Center in Oceanside would provide free or sliding scale counseling as well as go to court with the victim if necessary. (see RAPE- page 12)

constant coughing," Collins said. No matter where she was moved in the building, nothing helped. "It has a demoralizing effect as well as physical ... after awhile I just didn't want to go back there," she said. "I want to work here, I've a lot of time invested and I miss the library," she said quietly. Although Collins said she was doing better after being away from the building, there were still some lingering symptoms. According to Judy Cator, library director, the movement of employees to the trailer was felt by senior administrators "to be in the best interest of the staff so they could continue to do their jobs and get well." Although many studies have been made over the years and $50,000 was spent to have the fiberglass in the duct systems removed, problems still exist. In continuing to pursue the source of the problem, the library workers shut down the ventilation system for four weeks during the summer. But according to Cator not much changed. "We even changed the chemicals in the cooling tower but staff and students are still becoming ill," she said, "The staff has really had to put up with a lot. I care about the staff and it's a major concern," said Cator. "These various illnesses affects morale," she added. Cator pointed out however, that Palomar is not unique in having difficulty coping with sick building syndrome. This syndrome is not as easy to isolate, as with other obvious problems. Equipment related afflictions such as Carpel Syndrome, caused by over-use of the wrist while typing, can be relieved by wearing a wrist brace. Because the problems at the library have not been resolved, Cator said that the district is actively pursuing other avenues at the state and federal level. According to Kelly Hudson-Maclsaac, district safety officer, one of the agencies studying the problem is the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. It works through the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. "They have all the paper work and are studying it," she said. They hope to visit the site and not only find the Cause but find a way to prevent these types of illnesses," she added. -But for Collins, "the buildings still there and it still has a problem. Said Collins, "I just want to go home."
Parking overflow raises residents' ire By Andrea Cavanaugh Staff Writer Palomar students searching in vain for a place to park are improvising in fire lanes, on hillsides and on residential streets, creating safety hazards and angering nearby residents. Campus Patrol officers have been issuing approximately 90 tickets per day to the drivers of illegally parked vehicles, according to Boyd Mahan, campus patrol supervisor. Mahan said he feels that the 3,500 available spaces are being shunned in favor of illegal spots which are closer to campus buildings. Mahan stressed that inconsiderate parking habits are not limited to students."Staff [members] are just as bad," he said. He dismissed the idea that the college is selling parking permits for spaces that do not exist. "You name the time," Mahan said,
"and I'll find you a parking place." Some students wishing to avoid the parking lot hassle are parking their cars on residential streets north of the main campus. Mike Burke who resides on Corte Bello Street said his street is sometimes filled with student vehicles in spite of no parking signs installed by the city. Burke, who characterized the problem as "terrible," said he would like to see the city of San. Marcos become more responsive to the needs of nearby residents. "It looks like the police come out here every once in a while," Burke said, "but they're not out here everyday." A venida Aguila resident Pedro Rios said he put his house up for sale because of the traffic problems. He sometimes has trouble reaching his home because of the large volume of traffic exiting the campus, he said. "Every student that comes from the parking lot has the right-of-way," Rios said.

'Fisher King' viewed as comp ex yet predictab e By Salvador Marquez Staff Writer Days before the release of "The Fisher King," many reviewers (including the famed "Siskel and Ebert") rejected the film. Some complained that it was too complex. From the onset, their critique appeared justified - this film starred the complex, but multitalented Robin Williams and was directed by Terry Gilliam, who also directed the artistic "Brazil" and "The Baron Von Munchausen." You can probably see where this is going. Of course this movie wasn't too complex, I had hoped it would be. "The Fisher King" was a predictable story of down-andou·t heroes in "The Bil}City." But this doesn't detract from fine performances from the three leads, Williams (Parry), Jeff

Cqngress needs new priorities The time has come for a change from America's role as sugar daddy and world policeman to a nation that cares for its own before attending to the perceived needs of others. The United States has become a second-class world power before our eyes as our federal government pours billions of dollars into a bloated defense budget. Let us as a population redefine the "American way" to include providing affordable health care for all citizens, offering a quality education for everyone, making a firm commitment to feeding the hungry. It has become sadly apparent that elected officials will participate in any activity the voters will let them get away with, and the voters appear to have been sleeping for quite some time. While our tax dollars were being used to fmance the overthrow of elected Central American governments, the U.S. quietly claimed the dubious distinction of rating 21st in infant mortality among industrialized nations. While visiting dignitaries were dining on $250,000 White House china, domestic programs from Medicaid to school lunches were experiencing crippling budget cuts. While John Sununu was using military jets to attend golf tournaments, private citizens were battling the nation's crumbling infrastructure on public transportation. While taxpayers were force-fed the $500 billion tab to bail out failing S&Ls, one fifth of our nation's children were living below the poverty line. It is the responsibility of taxpayers to communicate to their congressional representatives that these actions can no longer be tolerated. Those who continue to act against the best interests of their constituents must be voted out of office. For too long, politicians have assumed that the people who pay their salaries do not monitor their activities. How unfortunate tharthis assumption has proved to be absolute! y correct.

Palomar student remembered The students, faculty, and staff who knew Fred Cooney, the Palomar student who died on campus recently of cardiac arrest, want to express our sorrow at his loss. Fred was an enthusiastic class member who enjoyed learning, was not afraid to ask questions, and was happy to share his life experiences. He had been a Marine and had a bachelor's degree in sociology, but he wanted to continue to learn. We in American Indian Studies found him a thoughtful, kind man, and we shall miss him.

Events in Russia should teach college students the importance of voting Last week, a momentous event occurred here at Palomar. Voting in this year's student elections reached a two-year high. Out of over 26,000 students, 360 took the time to vote for representatives in the student government. Yes, that number can actually be considered high for a student voter turnout on this campus. It is nearly double last spring's election, in which 135 students voted. The fact that this number can be considered high is depressing, especially when the lessons learned about "people power" in the Soviet Union obviously haven't rubbed off here. Traditionally, student voting at Palomar has been relatively small. In reading back issues of The Telescope, it is obvious that although voter turnout was lacking, there were often more than enough candidates to run for positions. In October of 1981 for example, 17 people ran for 10 positions. After the ballots were counted, it was found that 5 percent of the student population had voted. In the last few years, however, political apathy here has grown to the point where there sometimes have not been enough people to fill student office vacancies. Voter turnout has been reduced from 5 percent in 1981 to .5 percent last spring. In 1988, the Associated Student Government president actually cancelled senate elections because there weren't enough people running. · The fact that Palomar is considered a "commuter college" is no justification for this apathy. When students do not wish to have their voice heard in issues that affect them, a tyranny of the political minority occurs, where only a small percentage of the .student population makes decisions for the restwhether the school's population is 2,600 or 26,000. If Palomar is considered a microcosm of the real world, as it sometimes is, there is no better subject to compare than politics. The Los Angeles Times reported that voter turnout

Point of View RomanS. Koenig in the recent San Diego city council elections were frighteningly low. Percentages in the voting precincts ranged from the upper teens to the low 20s, according to the article. In the eighth district primary, voter turnout was at 22 percent. In the fourth district, the number was 23.9 percent. The people of the Soviet Union learned the power of their voices very quickly, and were thus able to destroy a to talitarian coup within a matter of hours. Here in the United States, on the other hand, the opposite seems to be true. People seem to have forgotten about the importance of their voices in the country which is often regarded as the hallmark of the free vote. Long-time voter apathy and recent years of poor candidate choices here at Palomar do not have to be long -standing traditions, and can change if students are willing to let themselves be heard. Whether it be here at Palomar or nationwide, whether people are Democrat or Republican, people's true needs will never be satisfied by government if they do not exercise one of the true voices of democracy - voting.

AB 10 1: priveleges, not civil rights Recycling bins needed on campus¡ There is a commercial on TV right now that envisions the future of the world with a perfect environment. Unfortunately that "perfect" world may never be a reality unless people do their part. We are constantly being told that the environment can be saved if everyone in this world just do what they can to help. Recycling plays a big role in cleaning up this planet and it doesn't take much effort from the average consumer. Any given day of the week, there are thousands .of Palomar students that go through the lines in the cafeteria and drop coins into a vending machine for a soda or some type of snack. It would be interesting to take all the trash that students go through on a daily basis and weigh it. Despite all of this, there are no visible or readily accessible recycling bins for students to use anywhere on this campus. If each person makes a difference, then doesn't it make sense that an entire campus of students could make a substantial effect. We here at the Telescope feel that putting recycling bins next to each trash dispenser is essential to the whole¡ recycling effort. Not only would it be well worth the effort, it would also set an example for the entire community. Besides, with the current budget crisis, just think of all the extra money the school could make off of 10,000 aluminum cans, every little bit helps. It's time for Palomar to make an effort in improving the environment by implementing a recycling system throughout the campus. It's also time for Palomar to set an example forthecommunity. Wemayneverseethat"perfectenvironment" but with a little help from everyone, we will at least see an improved one.
Congress should investigate itself Our "Imperial Congress" which has grown accustomed to sitting in high moraljudgementof everyone around them, (most especially anyone who liked Reagan) need to stop the hypocrisy and apply the same scrutiny to themselves. The liberal dominated House of Representatives most obviously has a spending problem. Not only do they spend money we don't have, but they write checks for money they don't have. At last count, 9,000 bouncing checks have been written by congress and instead of a penalties they received the net total of these checks anyway, upwards of$2 million. Obviously, the rules that apply to us don't apply to them. Though seven new republican senators want the perpetrators exposed, Speaker of the House Thomas Folley said that this "would not be useful." Well, I guess this does pale compared to S ununu taking a couple of trips on a military jet. What blatant patronage and protection. How Cam we delegate the control of billions of dollars to people who can't even control themselves. For the sake of our countrie's economic future we should demand the exposition of these fiscal morons ..
The recent vetoeing of ABl 01 by Governor Pete Wilson has sent militant homosexuals on a violent binge. Average citizens with decent sensibilities are also under the impression that Wilson has somehow persecuted the gay community with his veto.This is where they are highly misinformed. The agenda of "homosexual politics" involves giving special priveliges and minority status to a person because of their lifestyle. The agenda has gone ridiculously overboard as the active gay community, envious for mainstream status, lash out at other people's ability to make choices that exclude them. A religious store should have the option of not hiring a person if that person professess a lifestyle that is in direct conflict with the purpose of the store. . Would it make much sense for the NAACP or the ACLU to hire Tom Metzger as a consultant? No, because his lifestyle and the job don't quite mesh. AB101 would have stripped these rights from the private sector, and from any individual who might make an "insensitive" decision regarding a homosexual. Let me give you an example. In Madison City, Fl., where a bill almost identical to AB 101 was enacted, two girls were advertising for a roommate and a lesbian responded. When the roommates told her that they would feel uncomfortable with her, she took them to court. The girls had to pay the angry lesbian $1,500 apiece, go to homosexual sensitivity classes and write a letter of apology. The rights of the girls to make choices regarding a futille roommate were totally disregarded. This state-spon-
sored mental reprogramming is a far cry from a society that lets its citizens make its own choices. These homosexuals are also attacking social institutions that don't accept their lifestyle, such as the Boy Scouts. This group was founded on Christian principals and should not be forced to compromise these principles by hiring homosexuals as leaders. Yet because they won't, Boy Scouts handing out anti-drug information at The National Education Association's annual meeting in Miami Beach were kicked out. AB 101 would have brought similar intimidation tactics to California. Extremist homosexual groups will never gain acceptance by trying to destroy the traditional fabric of society. They should understand that others in our society are also free to make choices based on their personal beliefs and biases. In fact, Ithink that homosexuals who have a hard time grasping this should be made to attend heterosexual sensitivity classes.
A past event is simply that, an event. It does not become history until a historian interprets the event and attempts to find what lessons it has to teach the present. Because the present, if not the past, is in a state of constant change, history is constantly, out of necessity, being re-interpreted. With out a doubt, the issue of civil rights has raised more questions than any other single issue in the last 35 years. If historians failed to try and answer these questions, then they would failing in their primary responsibility. Furthermore, if their historical perspective failed to shine a new light on these issues, then history would be failing in its primary responsibility. Historians have dealt with these issues therefore they they have simply done their job. In doing so they have, in fact, forced us to face the falseness of some of our basic beliefs. History, therefore, has not failed us in its primary purpose. Are these new historical interpretations valid? The validity of a history may be judged by three criteria; is it factual, is the source material credible, and lastly is the reasoning sound. Neither myself nor the dissertation committees which reviewed these works have been able to prove these historical interpretations invalid by these criteria. Do these new historical interpretations challenge the work of earlier historians? The answer is no. These new interpretations share a common language and logic with their predecessors.
It is important when addressing the issue of rewriting history books that we understand exactly why we arc considering even doing this. History is simply a record of past events, so have the facts changed all of a sudden? No, instead the audience has. America has indeed received contributions from several different cultures. However the fact that minorities make up a larger part of our population now does not change the history of our foundation. The guidelines by which this amalgomas body of peoples functions within these borders were set down by Christian Europeans; in particular, Englishmen. These founding fathers did not draw their truths from ¡ Islam or Buddhism, nor was the government a copy of the Zulu hierarchy. Instead we owe it to our ourselves to teach the Christian principles and European political evolution that combined to make this country a model for the rest of the world. It is a shame that some feel guilty for our success. Indeed our country has its dark moments, but never has a nation represented hope and freedom as ours has. It has been a haven for oppressed people all all races and creedes. We must keep these original truths relevent and alive in the mind of our youth or risk losing the knowledge and principles that made us great; most importantly that we are "One nation under God."

The Extra Point Sean Dean
Dan must go, Dan must go! Recently, at a theater near you, a new movie came out entitled"The Final Nightmare: Freddy's Dead." Ironically, last Sunday's Charger game at the Murph followed along the same story line but with a different title, "The Continuing Nightmare: Dan is Dead." Dead is the key word here; it best describes the style of football that Chargers head coach Dan Henning has brought to San Diego- which is the main reason why Dan must go. If you haven't noticed already or at this point you really don 'tcareanymore, the San Diego Chargers are 0-5 and with all probability will be 0-6 after this weekend. The worst start in the team's history since Gerald 路 Ford was President. Those were the days when the Chargers were misfits, now they are just misguided. Who's to blame for this mishap? The management, partly. The fans, nah! They're too hungry for a winner. How about the cleaning guy at the stadium who looks like Garry Templeton? Wrong again. The cause for our fury is coach Dan Henning. "Danny Boy" has had more than enough chances to make something happen 路 here - as he did while he was in Atlanta (See the Falcons press guide).Though Dan has been unable to get the clue; that the people here in America's finest city are sick of boring,predictable, let's run ball on third and 14, 6-10 football. It's time General Manager Bobby Beathard got off his surfboard and did us all a favor and fire Henning. The writing is on the wall and the fans have spoken out. Let's get this team, loaded with talent, off to a fresh start in a ,winning direction. It would be nice to relive the days of soldout games, humorous play-off songs on the radio and an offense that could light up the scoreboard. Those days though will not return until Dan Henning has gone the way of the Dodo. How ironic.

Glitches 1n permit system being worked out By Sean Fitting Staff Writer

"This still is.1 'ta major problem when you figure that 10,000 permits have been issued," said Mahan. He stressed that it was up to students to make sure their car doors are locked with all of the windows and sunroofs closed. If students decline taking precautions they will have to pay the price; $20 for a reissue fee. Mahan said that the permits were, "being stolen by students who were looking to save money by not paying the $17 parking fee." One student was caught trying to do just that. The culprit claimed that he had bought the permit for half price from another student who had dropped out of schooL Mahan said that he did not think there was an existing market for stolen permits. Despite Mahan's view concerning stolen stickers, Palomar student Charlotte Johnson said she does think permit theft is a prob-
Driving off campus with a Palomar parking permit hanging from your rear view mirror could get you a ticket. It is a violation of California Vehicle Code #26708 section A.2. This code prevents the display of anything which blocks the driver's view. Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd Mahan said he doesn't think this is a major problem. He added that he doubted that the police will be "giving out tickets, unless it was 2:30 in the morning." Still, he recommends that students take the permit off of their mirror when driving off campus. A few glitches have occurred since the new permit was initiated this fall, but on the whole, Mahan said the system of transferable permits is working well. He also said Campus Patrol understands students and staff have to get used to the new system. "We understand that it is new, and will void the first ticket if it (the permit) is improperly displayed," Mahan said. "After the first ticket the violator will have to

Chancellor Heyman recommends that men should not assume that a partner wants the same amount of intimacy. Men should realize that "No" means "No" and that rape is an illegal crime of violence. He says that women should not give mixed messages and should avoid falling for such lines as "You would if you lo.ved me." Heyman recommends that women trust their gut feelings and if a situation feels bad, confront their dates or leave the situation immediately.

He acknowledged that the city will need to provide more controls at the intersection in the future and will eventually install a traffic signal.

Rape Palomar is not alone among colleges addressing the problem. A letter to the University of California Berkely campus community from Chancellor Ira Michael Heyman says date rape is not just a crime of passion or miscommunication. Date rape "is an issue that strikes at the heart of the personal relationship between a man and a womal!, how they treat each other and how they respect each other's wishes. People who respect others do not coerce others to do things they do not want to do." A key question here is the difference between seduction and rape. Seduction involves no force and occurs when a woman is cajoled into agreeing to have sex. The key
