Student suspected in car break-ins arrested By Sean Fitting Staff Writer Criminal Justice student Hung Nygen got some field experience with the law recently. On Sept. 27 Detectives Mark Manriquez and Donna Perone from the Vista station of the San Diego Police department arrested him while he was in' class. Nygen was taken in custody in connection with the recent rash of Palomar

parking lot break-ins and was arrested and booked on one count of auto burglary. Perone forwarded the case to the District Attorney. "I have enough evidence to link him to five counts based on statements and evidence found in his car" said Perone. Nygen has been released from the Vista jail on $10,000 bail. He will be arraigned Nov.15. A trial date will be set at the arraingment. According to Campus Patrol, there

have been no parking lot break-ins since Campus Patrol Officers Scott Lee and Rob Edwards identified Nygen trying to break into a car on Sept. 17. According to the officers, Nygen hopped into a waiting car, jumped the divider and fled out Comet Drive. The officers had staked out parking lot five. "One was waiting in the arboretum and the other was waiting in the van so he could radio," according to Campus Pa-

trol Supervisor Boyd Mahan. Campus Patrol is "not an investigative unit but we got tired of taking down reports," he said. "The officers were acting on their own initiative." The officers "knew what they were looking for," said Mahan. Nygen's car had been seen cruising the lot around the times of some of the break-ins. Also, on Aug. 20, two Asian males, one matching Nygen's de-

scription, were reportedly observed acting suspiciously around a pickup. When Campus Patrol confronted them Mahan said "they got into the car and left saying they were students, good-bye." When Campus Patrol investigated the truck closely they found that a hole had been punched in the door. Later that day one car was stolen and one was successfully broken into. "I am 98 percent sure that that's the same guy," Mahan said.

No conclusions reached in push for faculty union By Laura Woolfrey News Editor Faculty and administraiion met at the Escondido campus Sept. 19 and 20 to hash out their differences concerning who will be included in a proposed faculty unit. However. their efforts were unsuccessful in reaching a conclusion. The Palomar College Faculty Association wants department chairs included in the proposed faculty unit. which would allow academic faculty to participate in collective bargaining. The district. however, contends that the position of department chair is a supervisory position. and therefore it is inappropriate for such staff to be involved with the unit. Mathematics Department Chair Ramona Colwell, Dean of Arts and Languages Gene Jackson, Department Chair of the Child Development Center Margie Ruzich, Li-

brary Director Judy Cater and Department Chair of English as a Second Language Shayla Sivert were subpoenaed to testify about their professional positions at Palomar. The witnesses were questioned by Public Employment Relations Board attorney Les Chishorn, District Representative lawyer Richard J. Currier and PCFA's lawyer Glen Rothnen. PERB is a state agency that regulates labor relations. According to President ofPCFA and associate professor and chairperson of physical education Mario Mendez. nothing was resolved at the hearings. As a result, another series of hearings will be held Oct. 21-23. If the faculty and district cannot come to a mutual resolution as a result of the hearings, PERB will make a ruling. ."The testimony and information will be a launch pad for the next

Food Bank und.e r new management By Sean Fitting Staff Writer The Palomar Food Bank is under new management and has a new name. The Extended Opportunities and Services Department (EOPS) has assumed control of the Palomar Food Bank. For the last five and- a-half years the Food Bank had been the responsibility of Student Activities. "We have wanted control of it for sometime," said EOPS Director Patricia (P.J.) DeMaris. "The reason we wanted it was our students are the people who would use it the most." The first order of business was to change the name from the Food .Bank to The EOPS Food Pantry.

The genesis for the original food bank came six years ago when Palomar staff realized some students were going hungry. "The ASG (Associated Student Government) had a campus wide picnic, and they had some leftover hotdog buns. Afterwards somebody came up and asked for the dry buns," said Lunde, ASG student activities secretary. At first it was thought they wanted the buns for a pet, but after some further investigation it was discovered that there were peoplebuying books instead of eating on campus. Former ASG Senator Bob Klug "rallied the forces and the first Food Bank was established" Lunde said. "Campus wide we didn't want to stop the Food Bank because it

was a very good program," she added. Since the focus of the ASG changes with each new administration, the management was shifted from the ASG to Student Activities. The Food Bank remained the responsibility of Student Services until EOPS took over earlier this year. "The Food Pantry is an emergency resource" said EOPS worker Claudette Ellis, Âˇ who is responsible for daily operations of the Food Pantry. It offers food, most! y canned goods and non-perishable items and a few other necessities such as diapers and toiletries to needy students. "We also provide information for other food services" said Bill Landry/Staff Plwwgraphy Ellis. The service is open to all students who Palomar student Daniel Rankin stuffs the (see PANTRY- page 3) newly-reorganized Food Pantry.

Student officers meet county-wide to discuss issues By Mark Wiberg

The representatives from Palomar also looked into ways of improving the Student Union, Kepics said, adding that funding was the main concern. He favors a "student center fee" that would be tacked on to the student registration fee, to help fund a new facility. "If you look at Palomar's Student Union and other facilities, it's something out of the stone age compared to other colleges," he said. This fee would have to receive approval from 20 percent of Palomar's main campus population, according to Kepics. The conference provided Palomar's student representatives the chance to see how other colleges approach such projects, he added. Kepics said he was disappointed that more students did not take advantage of this opportunity. "It would have been nice to see more people from Palomar," Kepics said, who added he didn't get the word out to others as well as he would have liked.

Staff Writer Associated Student Government officials met last week with other San Diego student representatives to discuss ways to improve California's community colleges. ASG Senators Lowell Kepics and Anthony Montroy, student Sharon Gully and Jim Bowen, directorof student activities, attended a meeting of CalSACC (California Student Association of Community Colleges) last week. Several issues were addressed, Kepics said, including a proposal that would employ a person to act as a watchdog for community colleges. "CalSACC would like to see a full-time representatives up in the Capitol to keep an eye on the legislation," Kepics said. Fund-raising among the community colleges or using a percentage of student representative fees were two suggested means of covering the cost of an employee, Kepics said.

Williams new director for development center By Sara Skol Staff Writer Director Joyce Williams is, in her own words, "the new kid on the block" at Palomar College's Child Development Instruction/ServiceS Center. Williams said she sees her new job of director as a challenge and likes the idea of working in a laboratory center. Williams said she is getting acclimated to her new job. She said her philosophy is to "not make changes right away" but to "get firmly grounded" in her new position. "I also like the idea of working with parents, teachers and students," Williams said. She said she sees Palomar as a goal oriented school and plans to maintain the present quality of the child development center. Williams said she hopes that the child development center will be part of the college's redevelopment funding so an addition to the center can be built or major remodeling be done in the future. Williams has experience teaching multiple subjects in Paterson, N.J., and in the Fallbrook Union

She said her philosophy is to 'not make changes right away' but to 'get firmly grounded' in her new position. School District. Other experience teaching includes reading instruction at the Palomar Camp Pendledon campus and staff development training at a Heads tart Center in Oceanside where she was also the director for program management. Williams attended both Palomar College and Grossmont College, earning units in early childhood education and administration. Williams went on to earn a master's degree in curriculum development and instruction from National University. She currently holds a California teachingcredentialandachildren's center .supervision permit. Her future goals are to teach child development and to see the Palomar center become a model for child development.

Care (continued from page 3) Giardina-Rodgers who said that "Palomar guarantees the highest quality" in child care. She pointed out that organization is a key element to the programs to assure that quality. Joyce Williams was recently hired to direct Palomar's center and Nancy Brooks oversees the La Costa operation.

Rodgers said."I couldn't manage without them." According to Giardina-Rodgers, the philosophy behind the center is to "provide a loving and caring environment" when the child is away from the home, as well as a "stimulating learning environment."

U.S. senate contender makes stop in San Marcos By Hank Tritchka Editorial Page Editor California senatorial candidate Bruce Herschensohn hit San Marcos last weekend on his campaign trail. The conservative Republican is battling the more liberal Tom Campbell for his party's nomination to run for Senator Allen Cranston's seat. Cranston has announced hewill not run for reelection. The meeting at La Costa Meadows Park was attended by about 50 people who had the opportunity to talk with the candidate about Issues, including the future of education. Herschenshn, who graduated from University High School Los Angeles in 1950, said when he attended school that there was a set criteria. "It was impossible to graduate from school illiterate back then," said Herschenson, "because they

would not let you move up in grades unless you passed certain standards." Herschensohn said that he would like to see a return of these "standards" as a way to improve student education. Herschensohn said he also believes that the current educational cuts are not as critical as they seem and that in fact to much money is being spent for too little return. "More and more money rarely helps anything," he said, "what we need to do is restructure the educational system to make our money go farther." Two systems Herschensohn said would speed up this process would be the "voucher" and "merrit" programs. He said that if education were as competitive as other industries in our society, the quality would would inevitably improve and waste would be drastically cut. Themeritsystemcallsforteachers to receive more pay for excellence instead of being locked in at

certain incomes. Also, the voucher system allows parents to choose which school receives their tax money. Herschensohn said that he will work at instituting incentive systems like these if elected to Senate, and will not vote to raise "~other cent" for education. Herschensohn said that when colleges start dropping classes after budget cuts like we have seen locally, they are often overreacting. "A lot of times classes are cut because of furor," he said, "when plenty of money is still present." Public education, said Herschensohn, has become so lousy that "you could become a United States Senator and not know how to read." Herschensohn, who worked for President Nixon as a speech writer says that he sees more room for change now than back then. ''This generation is unique, and the youth are a lot more willing to listen to opposing views."

A response to the A.B. 101 column I am writing to commend you on your article regarding the vetoing of A.B. 101 and to elaborate on it a little. I want to make it very clear that I do not hate the gay community as a whole or individuals who are gay. But I must confess that I do not embrace the concept of homoc:exuality. As a result, I found myself breathing a sigh of relief when A.B. 101 was vetoed. If the gay community wants so badly to be accepted and respected by the rest of society, then it should start by recognizing that not everyone can be as accepting as they might like. In return the gay community should stop trying · :·orce itself on everyone in general through legislature. ' gay movement should take into consideration that it L ' ; ,. · ,ng judged according to the tactics it uses to assert itself. The demonstrations following the vetoeing of A.B. 101 are just the vented frustrations of a group that is angry because it was kept from almost getting more than any group deserves. Your example of the two girls advertising for a coed could illustrate my point. Also, the gay movement's constant attacks on organizations exercising their right to exclude homosexuality are the traits of an uptight movement riddled with insecurities that has forgotten it must learn to accept before it can expect to be accepted. The most basic truth is that we are all created equal and that nobody has the right to force belief or lifestyle on anybody else. If the Boy Scouts are forced to hire a gay scoutleader, then they have been forced to compromise the principles for which they stand. Don't misunderstand me. I am not a "gay basher," and I am not interested in getting more rights. I just want to keep the rights that I already have.

Mark Wagner Telescope reader

Telescope photo offends reader I am writing in regards to your front page captioned photo showing the death of Fred Cooney in the Sep. 27 edition of The Telescope. The way this was done lacked judgment and was pure sensationalism. I was appalled to hear how the reporter and the cameraman came rushing to the scene of his death. I think everyone deserves to die with dignity and that this right was denied Fred. I can understand-reporting a student's death since it is an unusual circumstance, but did you have to take pictures? That was totally uncalled for and unnecessary, not to mention the pain it caused some of his fellow classmates seeing Fred that way. The picture was an affront to all of us who knew and cared for him. Fred was a very special man and I would like to remember him as he was, in class, not plastered on the front page of The Telescope.

In respect for Columbus Day In light of all the negative publicity explorer Christopher Columbus seems to be getting lately I thought that I would simply relate a brief history of the man to honor him along with the holiday. Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy sometime in the middle of the 15th century. Though his father was a poor man, Columbus learned to read and write. As you might guess, his favorite subject was geography. It is supposed that he spent much of his youth visiting the docks of Genoa where sailors had many strange tales to tell. This was the age of exploration, and a newly maritime Europe was beginning to realize that the world held a lot more than was previous! y known. At the age of 14 he went to sea and saw Greece, Spain, Portugal, England and the west coast of Africa. He might_ have been to Iceland but this is not known for sure. Columbus studied maps extensivly and kept charts of his journeys. He also read Marco Polo's book which sparked his curiosity in a way which was to change the New World forever. Columbus reasoned that if the world was round, then he should be able to reach the fabled China in Polo's book by sailing west from Europe. He knew nothing of the land mass we call the Americas but was instead interested in finding a quicker route to the East. During this time sailors were attempting this journey by sailing down the African coast They never made very far before turning around and coming back frustrated. Of course Columbus needed to find funding for his project. He first appealed to the King of Portuagal who thought him half crazy. Our explorer was also originally rejected in Spain and after trying England he headed for France. Imagine, we might have been speaking French when we bargain in Tijuana. Well it didn't happen; Queen Isabella of Spain changed her mind. The queen was a very religious woman who wanted Columbus to make the journey for the sake of bringing to

The Right Side Hank Tritchka God any "heathens" he m'ight encounter. It is important to remember that Spain itself was then a land occupied by an invading force, the Muslims. Europe was still on t.'le defense from the militant religious fervor which was to establish the Ottoman Empire, an entity which was to outlive the British Empire into the 20th century. Perhaps this is why Spain, which suffered in particular from this Islamic military conquest, felt a need to push outward. Indeed the beginning of this undertaking was initiated in Columbus. Our explorer, certain that his exploration would bring status and wealth to Spain asked that he be made governor of any new territory that he found. He had a hard time however fmding a crew willing to sail into the unknown. Sailors were very hesitant about such an undertaking, and after finally getting a crew to sail his three tiny ships; the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria, Columbus set sail. Well, the rest is history. Though he died alone and in poverty, we can learn much from Columbus. His determination in fulfilling his dream and dogged pursuit ofknowledge are traits worth emulating.

Is A.B. 101 good law That·s How I See It Amelia Bowles

Society must open its doors to all Hey, all you brown-eyed people out there, I just found out that a bill allowing blue-eyed people the same rights as us is about to be passed by the California Senate. We must rally together to stop this. Why should we brown-eyed people allow those who are different than us to have the same rights? We have been the dominantt race for centuries. So what if blue-eyed people can only work for minimum wages, they aren't smart enough to earn more. They even want decent housing. But we brown-eyed people already know about the bad habits blue-eyed people have, such as wasting water. Do we want these people moving into our neighborhoods and having contact with our children? Heavens no! Blue-eyed people even want to teach, join our armed forces and worse yet they want to be Boy Scout leaders. Everyone knows that blue-eyed people can't do this. They are the inferior race. So send in those letters to your congressmen, this bill must be stopped. It is unethical and highly unChristian. Does the above sound familiar? I hope so, as it's time to stop the discrimination of all people for truly absurd reasons. We Americans are given the right to the persuit of happiness, of liberty and justice for all. There isn't any justice in discrimination. It took black Americans over 100 years to get their rights and they still have discrimination problems. And for women, they still don'thaveequal rights. If the American population does not start working together as one group, we may fmdourselves outside freedom's door looking in .

. .Continue investigations As we the public express our outrage over the special priveleges our Congress has been enjoying in secret, I suggest we carry our rage one step further. We should insist that laws passed by Congress also apply to Congress. Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has taken the lead in attempting to make Congress abide by the laws which affect the rest of us, such as the 1938 Minimum Wage Act and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Right now, Senate employees don't have the right to take job discrimination complaints to the federal courts. Congress also is not going to include its employees on the family-leave bill which gives workers 12 weeks of unpaid job-guaranteed leave for medical emergencies. Let's support Grass ley in his efforts, for if a person is forced to live by the laws they pass, I am sure their judgement will be a lot more sound. Hank Tritchka Opinion Editor

Is sexual harassment . common 1n the workplace? (Photos by Michael Bagstad)

The veto of A.B. 101 by Governor Wilson not only hurt him politically, but the gay community as well. I for one know only too well how important this bill really was. As a member of the gay community, I have for years lost jobs because of my sexual orientation. It didn't matter whether I was up front about my sexuality or not, I was fired. A.B. 101 would have prevented this type of discrimination from happening. Why should I or any of my g~y brothers and sisters have to hide who we are in order to work? But what outrages me the most is Wilson's wishy-washy way of dealing with this issue. He lured many votes from the gay community using A.B. 101 as the carrot. Wilson consistently stated he would "very likely" sign this bill. When the time came, he wimped out. I find it very difficult to trust a political leader who does not stand his or her ground on important political issues. I can't trust Wilson any more on any future issue whether it be budget,taxes or education. A strong leader does not cave in to the wishes of a few. A strong leader creates confidence within his voting population. In my mind, Wilson has failed to do this. Like the Russian people who refused to knuckle under to the pressures of the recent coup, the gay community and those who support them will continue to fight for their rights. While some cities like San Diego do have antidiscrimination laws on the books, the laws don't help everyone in the gay community. San Diego's laws protects only those who work in the city and does not include city or county workers who work within the city limits. The law does not help those who work outside of the city. Everyone should have the right to work with full legal rights to sue if fired due to discrimination based on sexual orientation. My private lifestyle has nothing to do whatsoever with my ability to do a good job. If this statement were not true then all sexual behavior, gay or straight should affect one's ability to do a job. A.B. 101 would have changed this lopsided view of sexual orientation and job performance. Wilson blew a golden opportunity to have the state of California become a state of equality.

The fight for freedom and equality- egalitarianism- is never truly over and is always on. But A.B. 101 is a delusion, a false trail. As someone who has fought for an egalitarian society, one issue needs to be addressed: what is a minority, since this is the root of discrimination. Why is this important? Lately, in order to pass laws like A.B. 101, the homosexual lobby has been trying to pass itself off as an oppressed minority. And this is a fallacy. Not that homosexuals haven't been persecuted, nor are they the social norm in this country. Persecution isn't the basis of what makes a minority, since all socioeconomic groups have been aggrieved against at one point. The special quality of what makes a minority is inborn to them or has an attribute of permanence. A Hispanic or a quadriplegic can never lose their identity. But the only quality that homosexuals claim makes them different is their lifestyle, a fickle reason since homosexuality only 10 years ago was considered a mental disorder on the par of pedophilia and bestiality. This ridiculous logic could be used by the most fundamentalist of Christians to waltz into a public school and demand to teach (or preach) creationism in the classroom because of his "minority" lifestyle. Seriously, despite the recent claims of a genetic researcher (whose own homosexuality ruins objectivity), homosexuality is not for certain inborn. There still is too much debate in the scientific community. But assume that homosexuality is genetic - what of those who through counselling have given up homosexuality? Since all humans are equal and obey a genetic code, what have those who prevailed over genetics become, Nietzsche's Ubermensch? This leads to the conclusion that either this race of genetic-beating Vbermensch are allowed superior rights than the rest of humanity or homosexuality is not genetic and Ubermensch don't exist. As someone to whom the fight for civil rights is sacred, this auempt by the homosexual lobby to ascertain special rights is not only preposterous, it's an outrage.

From the war front to the school front By Laura Woolfrey News Editor Six months ago he was fighting the Iraqis in Kuwait. Today Staff Sergeant Sean Kevany is home from the Persian Gulf War and back at Palomar College once again. On May 21, Kevany returned from Kuwait after a six-month tour of duty where he took part in the liberation of the Kuwaitis . For months he witnessed death and despair, poverty and famine. Kevany said sometimes he wondered if he would be one of the many killed, but he never gave up hope that he would return to American soil. Kevany, 26, was a platoon commander. He said his most frightening experience happened on the first day of the ground war. He and his men raided police stations and outposts trying to convince the Iraqis they were the main attack force. It was night, and the tactile conditions were rough. Kevany and his "wing n.c:111 were caught way up in front of everyone else where all the shelling was." Despite instructions from his commander to hold the position, Kevany insisted that the situation was too dangerous and he pulled back, "we put the pedal to the metal and got out at top speed." Âˇ For the first time in his life, this Marine of eight years had to face not just the possibility of giving his own ijfe for his country, but also the possibility of taking others. "War is like hide-and-go-seek," said Kevany. "Whoever hides better, wins." Kevany said although it's hard to fight a war "nicely" his platoon took pity on some Iraqis. "I felt sorry for the most part because

many of them were draftees," said Kevany who added that most Iraqi soldiers were suffering from malnutrition and dressed in "cheaply made" clothes that were not sturdy enough for battle. Unlike the Iraqis, American troops were well fed. Donations to the American troops came from all over the world and aided not only U.S. Soldiers, but the starving Ira-

Kevany said corporations such as Harmel and Pepsi Cola donated such an abundance of food and supplies that the Americans could not use all of it. Even though it was against regulations to give food to the famished Iraqis and Kuwaitis, sometimes Kevany could just not turn them away. "It's hard to turn away a starving family," said Kevany. "But if you give food to one person, the word will spread and you will have a lot of people coming to you for food." Although he was not permitted to feed anyone other than Ameri-

cans, it was not however, illegal to feed the animals. He said, "a lot of the animals ate Dinty Moore every night." Kevany said U.S. Troops mainly aided animals which were tortured at the Kuwaiti Zoo by the Iraqi army. Anyone who had ever lived on a farm or had any medical training at all was instructed to help the animals. "One elephant had about 20 bullet holes in him and was still alive; bleeding to death and drowning in his pool of water," said Kevany who added that they donated hundreds of pounds of food to the zoo. After the fighting winded down, Kevany said they too enjoyed a good meal. When he and his men were not barbecuing over a vehicle that was on fire, they often dined with Kuwaitis, who were very trusting and grateful to the Americans. When Kevany and his men entered Kuwait City for the first time, the people were initially afraid. The 300 remaining residents of the citydidnotknowwhothesestrangers were. "People were opening doors, peeking through," said Kevany. Finally, a woman came out and told her neighbors not to be afraid because these men were the U.S. Marines. "When they found out, they couldn't kiss you or touch you enough, it was the most incredible Âˇ experience." Kevany said these Kuwaiti allies helped as much as possible and served as informants telling the American soldiers of Iraqi camps, land mines and traps. â&#x20AC;˘ "Sometimes they (Iraqis) would put grenades in the toilets," said Kevany. "Because they knew that you were looking for a good sit down after not having a toilet for months."

Steve Kevany walks past the Student Union on his way to class. A staff sergeant in the war, he has now resumed studies at Palomar.

Although these Marines made many allies, there were many times when unpleasantries prevailed. Walking amongst corpses or seeing body parts sticking up from the

ground soon became normalities. Many of Kevany's prisoners begged for mercy and praised him when their captor showed compassion. "They told us they were glad we were the enemy because we fight fair," said Kevany. All the while he was fighting he

never forgot home. Perfumed letters from girlfriends and his mother lined the inside of his tank providing an occasional whiff of a comforting scent and a lasting reassurance. On May 21 Kevany returned to the United States. Although all the "big parades" were over, he was welcomed home by family and friends and a cooler packed with ice cold soda. "You don't appreciate the luxuries of home, like ice, until they are taken away," he said, and added that he "overdosed" on soda that night. Kevany said he was most looking forward to seeing his nephew Nicholas, and niece, Erin most, "I was dwelling all the time on those two kids." Although Kevany is thankful to be home, he said he is glad that he went and hopes to go back some day, but under more peaceful circumstances, "themusicand people are beautiful and they have wonderful food." For Kevany, war was the final test. "Something deep down insideof every military professional wants to go to war just for the experience," Kevany said. "It's an experience I'll never forget"

The setting at the Java Depot provides an interesting contrast between the traditional and the modem. The tall antique shelves are filled with booksandcoffeejars, but also hold modem sculptures of bronze and stone. Some of the steel tables hold colorful flower arrangements in antique vases while others have black bubble-eyed fish swimming in glass bowls.

Netelland, Donelly and Rosenfeld shine bright in college production Review by Salvador Marquez

Photos by Michael Bagstad

"The Crucible," while originally written by Arthur Miller as a lesson in mob hysteria, was instead presented by the Palomar Dramatic ·Arts Department as a fascinating character study of two desperate men clashing with their morality and their salvation. Though the play's timing was off in the first act, David Netelland (as John Proctor) and Walter Rosenfeld (as Reverend John Hale) gave stellar performances as two men questioning the religious establishment of 1692 Salem and the true meaning of Christianity. Lee Donelly (Elizabeth Proctor, John's wife) was also brilliant in a supporting role. John Proctor, as a poor farmer in the Salem community, was the moral force of the Christian community whilst the established Church played political games. As the sole conscience working away from the Salem mainstream, Proctor began to speak out against the madness of mob hysteria, but was soon swept in. Reverend John Hale , a demonology expert from Harvard, from the outset portrayed reason, the voice of calm. But as the tensions rose in Salem, Hale was forced to decide between the duties of his office and the duties of his God. Tormented in Pontius Pilate

fashion, Hale is a wreck which Rosenfeld plays intensely. While the two strong male leads cope with the moral dilemma presented. to them, the strongest female lead: remains firm. Lee Donelly, who played Elizabeth Proctor (John's wife), performed well as a supporting actress. Elizabeth Proctor throughout the play was the moral rock on which John Proctor established himself. Netelland's performance would have been lacking without Donelly' s yeoman work. In other parts, Karyn Parham (Tituba) depicted the Barbados slave as a sympathetic soul, away from her native land. Dana Parker (Rebecca Nurse) was shaped as a kindly soul, as well - thus making a tragic heroine. The set design, by David H. Boyd and Doug Moramarco, was innovative. In each scene, the set jutted out into the audience at different angles to give a bird' s eye view on ti:te proceedings. In the clash between rich and poor in "The Crucible," Sean Tamburrino (as wealthy Thomas Putnam) and Devon McFarren (Ann Putnam, Thomas ' wife) were pitted against Matt Godecker (Giles Corey) and Roman S. Koenig (Francis Nurse). Though I would have preferred a bit more ire between these four,

Above, Elizabeth Proctor (played by Lee Donelly) and John Proctor (David Netellan) plead with Mary Warren (Kay Hulbert) to testify truthfully about the trumped-Cup charges against them. Deputy Governor Danforth (below, played by David Smith) held court with -left to right- Ezekiel Cheever (Anthony Me Leod), Judge Hathorne (Michael Shantz) and Reverend Samuel Parris (Keith Neblett). Godecker's occasional comedy relief did make up for the lack of spite. But unfortunately, I've seen more verbal give-and-take at a church social than between those two groups of natural opponents. The antagonists, also, needed some help. Granted, ,Keith Neblett's depiction of Reverend Samuel Parris from holy rrian to petty politician was intriguing and David Y. Smith ' s (Deputy Governor Danforth) performance suggested that of a committee chairman. ButSusanSullivangavearather dry portrayal of Abigail Williams, the villainess that began the witch .scare.

Grapplers get down to business early By Salvador Marquez Sports Writer

Passing Shot Martin O'Neil

Expand the playoffs, extend the excitement The baseball playoffs have finally arrived and four teams, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, and Toronto will be competing to earn the title of world champions. However, there are other teams who deserve a shot at going to the world series but will be denied that opportunity because baseball is without a true playoff system . Baseball is the only sport where only the division winner goes to the playoffs. In football, five teams from each conference goes to the playoffs, basketball sends four teams from each division and in hockey, 16 of the 22 teams are eligible for the playoffs (do you think if the Clev~land Indians moved to the National Hockey League they could make the playoffs?). Baseball should follow in the footsteps of the National Basketball Association and send four teams from each division to the playoffs (hey, that would mean the Padres would actually make the playoffs). I know what you are thinking, there will be over 200 baseball games played if you lengthen the .playoffs. Well, shorten the preseason. There is no need to play 25-30 preseason games, 10-15 games is plenty enough. With this system installed, the teams who just missed the playoffs such as Los Angeles, Detroit, and Boston would then have a chance to get to the world series and not be forced to sit at home during the month of October. Plus, with more teams going to the playoffs it gives the fans an opportunity to see if their favorite player can become the new "Mr. October." I hope the Major League Baseball officials seriously consider changing their playoff format in the near future. Why penalize the teams that fmish a close second or third. While we are on the subject of the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Pirates will become the 1991 world series champions.

Most wrestling powerhouses would rather take on their toughest opponents toward the end of the season -the logic being by that time the home team is sure of its strengths and weaknesses. Going against the grain by opening with defending state champion Moorpark College, Oct. 4, the Palomar College wrestling team received a jump-start into the 1991 season with a 2019 dual match loss. In Bakersfield today and tomorrow fortheduals(team-versus-team) tournament, the Comets won't return to the Dome until Oct. 23 when it faces Mt. San Antonio. Several factors played a part in the Moorpark road loss, accordingtoheadcoachJoeismay; travel, inconsistent officiating, and the most crucial reason being mental conditioning.

'It was man against beast.' Coach Joe Ismay on Todd Falk's recent match "Some of the guys got overworried about the match," said Ismay. "They didn't let themselves wrestle the way they should have and reverted back to what they did before, when they were in high school." Such minor lapses could go unnoticed in other sports, but in the highly -competitive Southern California area, these lapses can easily be exploited by other junior college powerhouses like Moorpark, Fresno, West Valley, Bakersfield, Cerritos and Cypress. "It's always a dogfight every week," Ismay said about the competition in this region. "It's the guys who can take the heat,

Although this year's squad returns four wrestlers with post season experience, the Comets will rely on freshmen in six weight classes. Wrestlers, unlike most athletes, vie for spots on the starting roster in weekly intra-team competitions. Overseeing these will be sophomore co-captains Dusty Harliss and Erik Johnson. "They'reinstrumentalincom-

munication, checking on the guys' weights, and making sure everybody has their gear," said Ismay about his co-captains. "They are the captains, and I'll expect them to communicate with us about the team." And, according to assistant coach Peter Samhammer, Harliss and Johnson have enough of both coaches' confidence to independently lead the team through their workouts. Comets return wrestler Todd

Falk, a former running back for Palomar, who~ earned high marks for his strength and endurance. Equally impressed with Falk, in the eyes of Ismay, was his opponent at Moorpark. "It was the Man against the Beast," said Ismay. One of the more pleasant surprises might be 177-pounder freshman Phil Martinez, who may challenge state title.

Should the NCAA football championship be decided by polls or a playoff system?

By Sean Dean Sports Writer

The Associated Press and the United Press International, these two long standing institutions have been a big part of the lives of college football fans everywhere for the last 56 years; however, in this day and age there has been a movement to stop their traditional picking of college football's champions. To replace the legendary A.P and U.P.I polls, so-called experts have come up with a

'Keep the .tradition. Keep the polls.' scheme to pick the true natiorial champs. Their idea is to have a playoff system, in which they will choose the top 16 teams and have a round robin tournament. The confusing part here is that the socalled experts also plan on using the bowl

games to work out their system. Just like the way the NCAA decides its basketball and baseball champions. But the NCAA uses a more conventional way with regional com路 petition in those particular sports. The big problem here is who determines who are the top 16 football teams and how do they backup their decisions on who is the best Do the football experts take the teams at random on who has best record or do they choose them by the strength of their schedule? Anyway you put it there are to many loose ends to be tied with their proposal. The best decision here is to stick with the polls, which keep an accurate track of the best teams throughout the season. The polls also give the fans a chance to see who are the top teams week in and week out, which in turn gives them a conversation piece to get hyped for all the big games that occur throughout the season. Lets keep the bowl games as they are. To change them to a playoff format would only ruin the great rivialries that have been built through out the years. Keep the tradition. Keep the polls.

The Sugar Bowl, Cotton, Rose, Orange, Citrus, Peach, and San Diego's own Holiday Bowl are only some of the numerous bowl games that make their way into the national spotlight each year. And each year I ask myself; what's the point? How does one determine which team

'Championships should be decided on the field, not on the sidelines.' was the champion? 1'he NCAA should have a post-season format similar to that of other college sports.

Instead of the sports writers from the AP or the coaches from the UPI determining who and why a certain team was labeled national champion, college teams should be allowed to battle for the right of being called number one. Case in point, last year bOth Colorado and Georgia Tech were ranked first in the nation, this after the post-season. Both the ~ and the UPI presented arguments as to why one was picked but not the other. Did Colorado deserve it more because they had a tougher schedule, or did Georgia Tech because they were undefeated all year? The post-season didn't help at all because both teams won their respective bow I games. Ironically, these teams never even played each other, but if they had? The point is not to eliminate the polls completely. It still is useful as far as keeping track of individual teams' won-loss records and weekly performances. However, come post-season 路time, let the top 16 teams battle each other and the team that comes out on top deserves to be called national champion. Football championships should be decided on the field, not on the sidelines ..

Football team wins shoot-out 44-38, reloads for By Patrick Gifford Sports Editor

What does it take for a team to win consecutive road games against the 1989 national champions, and then against this year's sixth ranked team in the nation? Consistency, according to Comets football coach Tom Craft. "We have played good, consistent football in back to back games." They showed that consistency and a lot more in a 44-38 come from behind victory over Mt. San Antonio last Saturday night The defense displayed tenacity after watching a 31-14 second quarter lead evaporate into a 38-31 third quarter deficit, they then picked up enough steam to shut out the Mounties the rest of the way. Determination was the key for the offense as they stuck to their game plan and fought back to get the needed points for the victory. And frnall y, the team showed a lot of guts by not giving up, and having the confidence in each other to get the job done.

The Comets will need all the consistency and other positive qualities they have as they go up against their third straight nationally ranked team in a row. The team faces their biggest test yet in a 1:30 p.m. home game on Saturday versus the fourth ranked Pasadena Lancers. 路

Victory proves costly for Women's Volleyball By Martin O'Neil Sports Writer

TheRanchoSantiagos women's volleyball team found the Lady Comets to be quite offensive during their match last Friday night. Palomar used a "quick attack" offense and powerful serving to defeat Rancho Santiago 15-8, 154, 15-9. The quick attack offense was installed when the team lost middle blocker Kelly Mueller with a knee injury. Mueller ruptured the anterior

"With the loss of Mueller, we moved Stacee Alexnder to the middle where she can block, and hit quickly off the set," said coach Teri McFarland. Moving Alexander seemed to have paid off as she recorded two blocks and forced several of the Rancho Santiago players to alter the route of their spikes. Palomar dominated the game from start to finish but McFarland believes there is room for improvement. "We are getting better and better

Loveland, quarterback of the Comets football team, led his team to an upset of sixth-ranked Mt. San Antonio, 44-38. For the game, Loveland completed 30 of 57 passes, for 413 yards and four touchdowns.

but we still need to work on our blocking and we need to cut down on our hitting errors." ÂˇThe offensive star of the game was Alisa (AJ.) Jenkins who led the Palomar attack with 12 kills, and combined with Stacee Alexander to serve five aces. The victory enabled the Comets to raise their record to 4-1.

Company donates engine Case Power & Equipment recently donated a new $12,000 diesel engine to Palomar' s diesel technology program. The company is a distributor of heavy machinery and equipment used in the construction industry. "The new engine adds an important dimension of study to our heavy-duty diesel program," said LuAnn Poulson , dean of vocational technology.

The engine will be run with a load, disassembled, reassembled and tested in a a variety of ways. Case will supply the required replacement engine filters and spare parts as needed. The diesel engine donation is a result of a joint effort by Palomar officials and Case. "The addition of the Case engine and the new learning opportunities that will result from this donation puts Palomar College· s program on the cutting edge of specialized training in this field, " said John Harris, sales manager for Case in Southern California.

"I thought we could get more done in those two days then we did," Mendez said. ·'I hope that by the end of the next hearing, more issues can be resolved without an undue delays and j udicial procedures.·· Colwell said she agrees and suspects that there may be an ulterior motive for the lengthy hearing process. "I think the lawyers are spreading it out because they want to collect a larger fee." said Col well. President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs said he disagrees that the delays were intentional. "We want to make sure it 's done right the first time to save headaches later on," Boggs said. "The proceedings are slow and undeliberately trying everyone· s patience. "

Corrections •In last week's edition of The Telescope, a headline on the front page that went with the story about the power outage gave the incorrect day. The story itself stated that the outage happened on Tuesday, Oct. 1. The headline stated that it was Wednesday, Oct. 2. •In the Sept. 13 edition of The Telescope, a feature story misidentified Dave Keller as a grounds supervisor. His correct title is maintenance crew supervisor. The Telescope apologizes for the errors.
