Move over Great Britain, Palomar College will soon have its own royalty. For the first time since fall 1989, Palomar will have a Homecoming Pageant and will crown a king and a queen. Alpha Gamma Sigma, along with the Associated Student Government and Inter-Club Council, are sponsoring and organizing the Homecoming celebrations that will the end the week long activities of Comet Week. "We want to revive the spirit of the school," said Bridgette Hudson, secretary for Alpha Gamma Sigma. Hudson said they will use Palomar College's 45th anniversary as this year's theme. "The theme of Homecoming this year is 'Returning to 1946,"' Hudson said. "We are going to try to stay with that theme." Homecoming organizers plan to use cars in the pageant that will keep in tune with the theme. "We are going to have a 1929 roadster, and we're working on getting more cars, older convertibles," Hudson said. Entry forms and qualifying rules can be picked up and returned to SU-10 (Comet Center), SU-7 (ASG office) or SU-21. "I believe we' re going to have the election here in the student union, similar to the ASG elections," Hudson said. She said preliminary elections on Oct. 30 and 31 will leave eight finalists to be picked on Nov. 6 and 7. Two candidates will be elected as king and queen and the remaining six will serve on the Homecoming Court. Both Homecoming King and Queen will be given a prize. "At this point," said Joanne Laviolette, member of Alpha Gamma Sigma,"we are looking at giving away two pairs of tickets to dinner." The Homecoming celebration will be held at San Marcos High School on Nov. 9 at 1:30 p.m., during halftime of the Comets football game.

Palomar revising policy for handicapped parking By Sean Fitting Staff Writer Confusion concerning parking for Palomar's disabled students has forced the college to change its policy regarding handicapped parking permits. It began "when Sheriffs officers cited Palomar College handicapped students for parking in state handicapped places," according to Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd

Mahan. "At that point we made a decision to allow Palomar handicapped to park anywhere other than state-mandated handicapped spaces." This includes both staff and student parking lots. There are two categories of people who are authorized to park in handicapped spaces, which are indicated by blue curbs. "The state issues either license plates or placards. Most people look for the placards and they know what it means,"

said Director ofDisabled Programs and Services Ron Haines. "Unfortunately, most people and some police don't recognize the license plates." These plates all start with the initials DP or DB. Handicapped people are not the only ones that are in need of special parking, according to Haines. Because of the campus layout, it was decided that people with health aliments that curtail physical ac(see PARKING- page 12)

Pal()mar cafeteria serving up new menu additions, .services By Amelia Bowles Editor-in-Chief Palomar's new director of food services has put her personal stamp on new menu items served in the cafeteria as well as revamped its services to the students. According to Virginia Dower, the new director of food services, one of her favorite new items comes from the Midwest and has never been served here in California. "It is called a Pasty (pass-tee) and comes from my home town of Deadwood, South Dakota." said Dower. It looks like a turnover and includes turnips, potatoes, carrots, beef, pork and onions, she added. "It originally came from Wales and then to South Dakota by way of the miners," explained Dower. "Miners would take a pasty into the mines and at dinner they would place the turnover on their shovels and heat them with the candle on their helmets." According to Dower, it has been a successful offering and the students like them. "I hope to run it as a special each week," she said. The addition of a new condiment bar was made to shorten lines and cut down on waste and time. "Now students can add what ever they want and as much as they

According to Shand, these new changes will help alleviate the long cafeteria lines.

Also a new computer system will be installed this week, so that all the cash registers will be on line, added Shand. "This will help with security as well as being much faster," said Shand. This was done due to the recent money shortage problem. Dowers' predecessor, NickPaz,resigned in August when he was confronted about the shortage.

Second vote for student treasurer set for next Wednesday By Mark Wiberg Staff Writer Approval for the Associated Student Government President's nomination for treasurer was voted down in a secret ballot during Wednesday's meeting. ASG President Erik Johnson nominated ASG Senator Anthony Montroy and called for senate approval. Before the vote was taken, Senator Lainie Trigas voiced her wishes to be nominated for the position of treasurer. "I really wanted it ( to be treasurer)," she told ASG members. "I

just wanted everybody to know that there were other people who wanted the treasurer spot." Johnson defended his nomination, saying, "I don't know what the big deal is. I thought I made the best decision for the group." According to Johnson, Montroy has an accounting background and has been been on two budget committees. "I felt he was the best man for job," he explained. "They didn't agree with me (concerning the nomination) or didn't know enough." The nominated senator said he was glad there would be competi-

Prisoners of art By Sara Skol

Staff Writer In the stark reality of the California Prison System an artist colony has evolved. "Correct Art" is art by prison inmates, instructors and administrators in the State of California Department of Corrections and is now on display at the Boehm Gallery. According to Carol Newborg, a consultant for the Cultural Affairs Department in Los Angeles who helped organize the exhibition, prisoners qualify for the Arts-In-Corrections program by good behavior. She said they must at least have earned the privilege of walking to class. New borg said that the beginning artists use art as a medium to expresstheirfeelings. She said 'There is a strong primitive quality to their work" which has "powerful direct expression." She added that advanced inmate artists develop their own style with their art becoming more detailed. Newborg said the program "reduces cost in prisons because participants have fewer write-ups (infractions of the rules)." She said "There is a correlation between participants and low recidivism," referring to individuals who return to prison. She added that prison is "a revolving door and that normally about80 percent (of the prisoners) return." AIC developed from the Prison Arts Project which began in the California Medical Facility at Vacaville in 1977. The project proved that the introduction of fme arts taught by professional artists could improve the quality of prison

an opportunity for inmates to affeet their own environment and begin changing their attitude about themselves and others. AIC is the largest institutionally basedartprogram in the nation. Howard N. Fox, curator of contempory art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, said " .. .it is clear from (the prisoners) works of art that many of the people who live in prisons are individuals of great expressive power and need. " It is a credit to the California penal system that the Arts-In-Corrections program exists, affording inmates notonlyprofessional training in the arts but the grant of a humaneprivilege-enjoyedon the outside as an basic human right and civil liberty of our society-of self-expression," said Fox. Jill Ansell, prison administrator, talked about her painting, "Shattered Dreams." She said it is about looking back on her childhood. She said the dolls represent the dolls she knew and. the uprooted trees represent environmental destruction. Ansell explained that the winged mice are dream carriers and the fish suggest an underwater scene or the unconcious. She said the heart held in the girl 's hand stands for new growth and hope for the future. The skull represents death and transformation or death of childhood dreams and the angel is the "child fallen ." Correct Art is jointly presented by Grossmont College Hyde Gallery and the Boehm Gallery.

Confirmation over; second act begins

VJHAI Do you HAve:: To SAY FofZ. You!<st:l.-f" IHt~TIM~~

The pretentious drama that was the Clarence Thomas hearings are fmally over. Thomas has been voted in- there are cheers from the Right and tears from the Left. Oddly enough, during the Clarence Thomas "mini-series," the issue of sexual harassment dominated the stage. But the show ' s over, the actors (our senators) and the crew (network news) have struck the set -leaving the question of sexual harassment alone on a darkened stage, forgotten. Regardless where you stood on the Thomas nomination, the very charge of sexual harassment by Anita Hill whether true or not- devastated both individuals for life. Thomas, now a Supreme Court Justice, will be forever tainted by Hill' s accusation. Any judgement rendered by Thomas on harassment (and there are cases forthcoming) would be controversial at best, the height of hypocrisy at worst. If he did harass Hill, then Thomas has no business sitting on the bench. Hill would be a lost victim and Thomas would be the fox guarding the hen house of the Constitution.

If he didn't harass Hill, then this charge smacks of a base political hit on Thomas' character. His opposition would scorch his reputation, leaving Thomas to mend the rest of his career. If he can. Hill, on the other hand, has risked her career, her reputation and her sanity by even levelling the charge against Thomas. As hard as it was for Thomas to defend himself on prime-time television, Hill had a harder time discussing the intimate details of her alleged harassment. The important thing to remember is the word "alleged" since the Thomas hearings weren't a trial. This is the agony of the crime - harassment comes down to one testimony over another's. Since nothing was resolved during the hearings about the alleged harassment, what was gained? It certainly didn't serve Hill. Though it may have helped getting the issue out in the open, Hill now has to struggle with the reputation of being a "flirt" or a "troublemaker." Someone who had all the the potential of becoming a judge herself, may probably never have the chance to become one. Thomas's path isn't that much easier. An lith hour accusation may have ruined his career. In Washington, a floating accusation will haunt someone for life. Is he that fox guarding the hen house or a maligned man smeared by political grand standing? The Thomas hearings are over, for good or for ill. But the question of sexual harassment should not be forgotten by the leaders of our country. If it is, then all the supposed concern by our senators was just a ruse - more rhetoric spewing from Washington's halls.

Thomas confirmation a tragic mistake Judge Clarence Thomas's attempts at defending himself against the very serious charge of sexual harassment have produced an unfortunate side-effect: his true personality. In giving testimony on Capitol Hill last weekend, Thomas showed that he is unable to make sound judgements or decisions in the face of immense pressure, and it is extremely unsettling that he was confirmed to the High Court under these circumstances. Although last week's hearings were supposed to determine the validity of Professor Anita Hill's accusations of sexual harassment, they have instead showed that Thomas is unfit to sit on the Supreme Court by the very nature of his responses to the situation. One disturbing revelation that has come out of these hearings is Thomas's unwillingness to even hear the testimony of his accuser. He has every right to refute these charges of sexual harassment, but how can he aptly defend himself if he refuses to hear exactly what Hill is charging against him? This is total denial of the situation, and opens the doors to the possibility that some of Hill's accusations may very well be routed in truth. Even one of his supporters, Republican Senator Arlen Specter, told Thomas his dismay that he refused to watch or hear what Hill had to say. This denial may also give an inkling as to how Thomas may handle cases on the Supreme Court. If he was so unwilling to hear the testimony of accusations against him, it is entirely possible that he may well treat Supreme Court cases in which he has extreme disagreement with in the same manner, basing his decisions on his own pre-judgements. Senator Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) originally came out in support of Thomas, but revoked his vote of confidence for this same reason. "I have substantial doubts after this episode about the judicial temperament of Judge Thomas," he told the Senate before Tuesday' s vote. " ... How can we have confidence if

Point of View Roman S. Koenig he is confmned that he will be an objective judge ... if the one case that has mattered most to him in his lifetime -he shut his eyes and closed his ears and closed his mind, and didn't even bother to watch the sworn testimony of Anita Hill." Byrd questioned how Thomas could have adequately defended himself when he refused to even hear Hill's testimony under oath, an important question not adequately considered before Tuesday's vote. Thomas's dedication to the job after this episode is also in question. It is a tragedy for the United States to have a judge so bitter that he is willing to keep the position but not put in the dedication necessary to rule on important cases concerning abortion, racial and American Indian issues and sexual harassment cases. During his testimony, Thomas said that if he were nominated to the Supreme Court in hindsight, he would refuse and would tell others not go through with a nomination either. He said that his enthusiasm for the position is waning as well. Yet, he is not willing to give up the nomination. "Going through the nomination isn't worth it Being on the Supreme Court isn't worth it," he told the Judicial Committee. Yet he boasted that he would "rather die than withdraw." This does not reflect well on his determination to serve on this nation's highest court for the next 30 to 40 years. If he has no enthusiasm for the job- no more ambition- then why does he still wish a position on the Supreme Court? Whether Professor Anita Hill ' s accusations are true arnot is no longer the pivotal issue. The only thing the American people should feel sorry for is the fact that the United States Senate has confmned a man emotionally unprepared for a job so important as that of justice on the Supreme Court.

The Telescope 7

Reader responds to A.B. 101 pro/con Homosexuals are not confmed to one socioeconomic group as Salvador Marquez's article stated. We are every facet of society. You state that everyone has been discriminated against "at one point," implying that somehow these people managed to overcome their grievances. Did any of these people give up their culture, values, beliefs or identities to accomplish this? No, it was done through pride, action and its consequential power. Accepting prejudice imd embracing its philosophy cannot and will not lead any group of people to live in peace with those who are different How can any group of people be expected to respect another when the feeling is not mutual? With an existence as poor as homosexuals suffer, it is not at all likely that anyone would choose it. It is more likely that someone would try to change his fate. Through "counseling" (which has a "success" rate of about 5%) some have managed to deny their being. They may have altered their sex acts, but being gay not only determines who you sleep with, but most importantly, who you can love. What have they found to replace that? The rest of us, instead, have chosen to try changing our fate instead of our person. You claim that the objectivity of the scientist who thinks that homosexuality is genetic is ruined because he is gay. How objective is religion, the primary drive of those who oppose A.B. 101.

Dane Pederson Liberal Studies

A.B. 101 column 'uncalled for' The article published two weeks ago in the Telescope, A.B. 101: "privileges, not civil rights" was totally uncalled for. I can see Hank Tritchka's point about not wanting to share an apartment with a gay or lesbian, but that was not the point of A.B. 101. It was to insure that gays/lesbians are not fired from their jobs or kicked out of their apartments because of their lifestyles.

Consistent age for 'adult' needed

Students want a safer bus stop

How old does one have to be to be legally considered as an adult here in the U.S.? Let's see, watching ''R-rated" movies in theaters requires someone to be at least 17, yet in video rental stores, one has to be 18 to be able to rent "adult" films. In supermarkets and liquor stores, one has to be at least 18 to purchase tobacco products, but has to be 21 to buy alcoholic drinks. What's the difference? It gets better, to qualify for Selective Service an individual has to be 18 years of age, yet someone who's 19 can be drafted by the military. According to auto-insurance companies, a person is still legally a teenager until the age of 25, while a 16-year-old can obtain a driver's license. Incidentally, to be able to gamble, one has to be at least 21. Through all this inconsistency, the only thing constant is that age limits are designed to cater to certain organizations' needs. So, my being 22 means that I can legally: watch any movie, buy cigarette!: and alcohol, qualify for Selective Service, be drafted by the military, gamble and drive a car. However, it also means tl1at I'm not qualified for lower insurance rates. Theoretically I'm a legal adult, but not really.

Before the construction started at the comer of Las Posas and Mission Road, a person felt safe walking on the sidewalk to get to the bus stop across the street from Palomar College. Now, with the tom-up sidewalks, the ditches that line the comer, and no visible bicycle path in site, it is unsafe. The three alternatives are: risking your life by running across the middle of the street, walkng near the bicycle path, or taking the asphalt sidewalk.

As for homosexuals attacking social institutions that do not accept their lifestyle is wrong. They should not have to attack anyone. Gays/lesbians should be judged for their abilities and not what happens behind closed doors. for example the Boy Scouts. If a man is able to teach what it is to be a Boy Scout, then that man should be judged on his ability, not his lifestyle. There is nothing in the Boy Scouts about religion that I can remember, so religion is not a factor.

sLUT,

The first alternative obviously is very dangerous. First, a driver may not see a person running across the street, but may be driving to fast too stop in time. The second alternative seems safe, but it also has its problems. First of all, how can a blind person, unaided, know that there is a sidewalk? Secondly, anyone walking at night on the sidewalk on Las Posas may not see the ditch on the left side. Therefore, I would like to suggest the third alternative. There needs to be some kind of an intersection near Palomar College that would allow people to get to the bus stop safely without risking their necks in the process.

So the next time Tritchka feels the need to take ''The Right Side" of an issue, he needs to remember the constitution which says "All men are created equal." Tritchka, that means all men, women and children, no matter what lifestyle they may choose to lead. If he does not understand what I have to say, maybe he needs to take a class in sensitivity to the human race.

Student remembered for love of lear11ing By Laura Woolfrey News Editor

Fred Cooney kicks back on his front deck. He loved to spend time enjoying the outdoors, whether relaxing or exercising in them.

Even though he already held a bachelors degree in liberal arts, Fred Cooney's love for knowledge inspired him to continue his education throughout his life. Cooney, .61, suffered from cardiac arrest on Sept. 25 on his way to class. Students and staff rushed to try and save his life after he collapsed in front of room P-15. Student Health Services nurseLisaHoward and a concerned passerby performed CPR until the paramedics and firemen could reach the scene. Cooney was then rushed to Palomar Medical Center where he was sadly pronounced dead. Some of the classes Cooney was enrolled in at Palomar were History, Psychology and American Indian Studies. He was twice divorced, and was survived by his mother 84, a brother, two sisters, and his girlfriend of 11 years Val Eglitis, 59. According to Eglitis, Cooney

first experienced symptoms of heart disease.inspring 1990 when he broke out with a high fever and suffered shortness of breath. She called 911 after the symptoms appeared and they soon found out he had three clogged arteries. He then underwent three bypasses but had a normal recovery.

'He was a survivor, I'll miss him. ' Val Eglitis, girlfriend However, in April, he discovered that only one artery remained clear. He declined the option of another operation deeming it too dangerous. Despite his heart ailment, Cooney remained physically active. Jogging, running and golf were some of the activities he enjoyed. Cooney participated and finished the 1981 Boston Marathon and made a habit of keeping his

health in good check, said Eglitis. Cooney graduated from Boston University and was later drafted in the Korean war and served for two years. After the war, Cooney was employed by the government working for the social security department. He retired at age 55. Eglitis said Cooney enjoyed his retirement. He loved visiting the San Diego Wild Animal Park, reading by the pool and vacationing. Every year, he and Eglitis went to Las Vegas. They had planned theiryearlytripforOct 5,nearly a week before his death. Eglitis said despite the tragedy she decided to make the vacation by herself. "I put a rose on his grave and said 'Fred, wherever you are, I'm going to Las Vegas like we planned,' I just had to get away." Eglitis said that Cooney was well respected and loved by all who knew him. She said that even though he had a health problem, he always remained a fighter. "He was a survivor," said Eglitis. "He always made it somehow ... I' 11 miss him."

NBA Basketball degenerates into a bottom-1 ine sport What was unthinkable decades ago has now happened, professional sports has become synonymous with greed. Money is everything nowadays no matter which sport is involved, and usually it's the athletes wanting more of it. Take the National Basketball Association as an example. It used to be that rookie players had to prove themselves on the hardwood first, before deserving a lucrative contract. But that was the past, these days it's the rookies who dictate the terms of their contracts. This trend started when San Antonio's David Robinson was offered a hefty contract, earning at least $2 million before even playing a single game. I suppose the other rookies figured out that if Robinson can get away with something like that, then so can they; i.e. New Jersey' s Derrick Coleman, who was drafted first overall last year, rejected every offer until he received what he wanted. Good thing for the Nets that Coleman turned out to be a successful player, other first-round picks such as Pervis Ellison have yet to make an impact in the N.B.A. And yet, thetrendgoeson.Kenny Anderson, who was drafted by the Nets this year rejected a contract worth $11.2 million for five years. This is someone who has never played a single N.B.A. game, but he's the one calling the shots. The sad thing about the whole situation is that the team is willing to negotiate his contract under these conditions. It's time for the N.B.A. teams to wake up and get their marbles together. This trend has to stop now, otherwise the situation can only get worse. While were talking about the N.B.A., the upcoming regular season will be at the very least interesting. There will be a few surprises, the biggest one being the Lakers, (of course) who will be the champions this year.

Comets outduel fourth-ranked Lancers, 26-21 By Patrick Gifford

Sports Editor

What the Palomar College football team has sought for is respect. They wanted respect from the people at the state and national ranking services. They wanted respect from their opponents. They wanted respect for their whole program. The coaches believed they deserved it, the players believed they deserved it, but as anyone striving to obtain it will tell you, respect is difficult to earn. The Comets now feel they have earned it, after their hard-fought 26-21 upset victory over the fourth-ranked team in the nation, the Pasadena City College Lancers. They have received immediate respect from the polls, as this win completed a three game sweepofnationally-ranked opponents, and has lifted the Comets to the lofty ranking of 1Oth in the nation. ''We felt that we were not getting the respect from the polls," said offensive lineman Erik Johnson. "But we showed that we deserved it on the field today." A big factor in gaining the respect, and the victory, belongs to every member of the Comets defense. It was the defense that kept the Lancers scoreless in the first half, and then turned back every late charge that the Âˇ Lancers mounted. Consider that the Comets had never before emerged victorious in their six previous battles against Pasadena City. Also that they had lost 41-7 in last year's match up, and you can see why this game was of special meanÂˇ ing to the players. "This victory will go a long way for the school as far as gaining nationwide recogni~ tion, and confmnation that our program can compete with anyone," said head coach Tom

Parking: Palomar revising handicapped parking system (continued from page 1) tivity, should also be able to utilize prime parking, according to Haines. "We had to institute a kind of in-between step, allowing students with special problems, such as arthritis, broken legs, heart or lung disorders, to park up close," said Haines. The Palomar handicapped student stickers still go on the bumper. "It is a circle with a wheel chair inside" said Haines. They are issued for each semester and are valid for one whole semester, said Haines. To complicate things even more, Haines explained, Disabled Student Programs and Services issues temporary Palomar passes for thedashboardtostudentswhobring in a note from a physician. The request must limit the pass to less than the duration of the semester. DSP&S doesn't want to provide stickers that last a whole semester, said Haines. Blue curbs can be found in most staffandstudentparkinglots. They are scattered throughout the campus to make access to all parts of the campus easier. Around each of these spaces there are diagonal lines or hash marks. Parking in these hash marks is illegal.
