Homecoming royalty crowned in 'historic' fashion

By Roman S. Koenig Editor-in-Chief Homecoming tradition returned to Palomar Nov. 9 in time to celebrate the college's 45th anniversary.

Richard Douglas and Trish Hobbs, sponsored by Alpha Gamma Sigma and Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, were crowned king and queen at the Saturday event.

The turnout for the joint Associated Student Government-Alpha Gamma Sigma festivities, given the theme "Returning to 1946," was excellent, said ASG Treasurer Anthony Montroy.

According to Alpha Gamma Sigma member Heather Douglas, who chaired the publicity for the events, 459 students voted in the elections for the court as well as king and queen, topping the 360 students who voted in the fall student senate election.

Students chose eight courtmemhers out of 18 candidates.

Montroy said Homecoming and Comet Week events cost nearly $2,000 to put on, which he said was well worth it, given the quality of the festivities.

HEALTH SERVICES BOOKED THROUGH DECEMBER

Johnson's announcement prompts rush for HIV testing

By Sara Skol Staff Writer Magic Johnson's announcement that he has tested H TV positive and the implication that he contracted the virus through heterosexual contact deluged Student Health Services with calls for HTV testing.

AccordingtoNursePam Webb, the health center is booked through December for HTV testing, although there are still a few openings for testing on Dec.lO. The test is given once a week, on Tuesdays, at the student health center. About 13 students can be tested a day.

A Public Health Service nurse, who does the testing, only divulges test results to the patient No test results will be given over the phone.

A $2 charge for HTV testing goes towards an AIDS education fund. Webb requested that scheduled appointments be kept.

"It's unfair to those wanting an appointment when there is no space available," Webb said and added that testing beyond this semester will continue if funding is available.

Although Health Services has been busy testing for the contraction of the HTV virus, they have also been aiding students with preventive measures of other illnesses.

The flu shot drive promoted by Student Health Services has proved to be a success, according to Webb who said only enough vaccine for eight shots is left. The health center started with enough vaccine for over 300 injections, Webb said.

Marjory McCory, Student Health Services staff member, said her flu shot "helped a lot." McCory said she thought more stu-

dents got flu shots this year because the "protocol", that is , the restrictions for getting flu shots were eliminated. There are no age limitations or health specifications to qualify for the shots.

Student Health Services is also celebrating the Great American Smoke-Out which begins Nov. 21. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in women now, according to the Cancer Society. Webb said she wants to encourage students to get their blood pressure taken and pick up a free cancer survival kit at either the Palomar health center and the Escondido center.

The kits not only contain pamphlets with tips on cancer prevention and also includes buttons that say "Kiss me, I don't smoke." and a book of matches without heads.

Major improvements to spring from construction inconvenience Current construction will bring retail center and road improvments .

By Andrea Cavanaugh Staff Writer

Dust and traffic delays are not the only things being created at the northeast comer of Mission and Las Posas Road.

The property will soon be the home of a new commercial center which will include retail outlets and restaurants.

The four-acre site is being developed by Colucci Bros. Construction, a Vista contractor.

The first phase of the project, a Mobil gas station and small convenience store, is expected to be completed in spring 1992, according to project manager Tom McGlade.

Phases two and three of the project will include retail stores, a fast-food restaurant and possibly a day care center. The types of retail stores to be located in the shopping center are yet to be determined, McGlade said.

The second phase of the project calls for 20,000 feet of retail space and is scheduled for completion in

spring 1993. The completion date of the final phase is unknown, McGlade said.

McGlade was unable to estimate the cost of the project, saying that the Mobil corporation alone has contributed "millions" to the new construction.

The new construction will also bring improvements to Mission Road, in the form of additional left tum lanes and a right-tum only lane on westbound Mission.

The cost of the road improvements will be paid by the developer, according to San Marcos City Engineer Charles Stuck.

Palomar College contributed to the project by providing a pieshaped piece of land at the southem border of the campus. The property, which is 12 feet across at the widest point, was needed to facilitate the road improvements, according to Mike Ellis, Palomar director of facilities.

"We dedicated the property to the city [of San Marcos] so the project could go on," Ellis said.

The student parking exit to Mission Road has been turned into a gravel driveway as a result of construction at the corner of Mission and Las Posas Road. Exit from the campus has sometimes been temporarily blocked by the work, which is expected to continue until spring 1993.

Senator Tom Turk said he is putting efforts to oust Associated Student Government adviser Jim Bowen on the back burner.

"Instead of being destructive with the Bowen campaign," Turk said, "I've filtered my energies towards more constructive avenues."

Earlier this month, Turk posted a sign that expressed his dissatisfaction with Bowen. This was followed by a Nov. 7 meeting between theASG PresidentErikJohnson and adviser Bowen with VicePresident of Student Services Dr ..

David Chappie to discuss concerns raised by the ASG offices.

"These are issues that need to be addressed for the good of the ASG ," said Chappie. Student officers expresses concern about the responsiveness of the Student Activities Center (SAC) to the ASG, and to

what extent the SAC should be an advocate for the ASG. What the ASG wants to accomplish was also discussed, according to Chappie.

"We talked about developing goals," said Chappie. "My number one issue is solving these issues."

He added that he is willing to help ASG committees if they want Johnson and the ASG set up

several committees during their meeting on Nov. 13.

"We've been trying to focus more on getting our goals and objectives set," Johnson said.

Chappie said that although the issues have been identified, "there's personal stuff still continuing."

"In this process," Chappie said, "people do not have to be abused."

Speaker to discuss psych careers

By Sandy Kraisirideja Contributing Writer Palomar' s new Psychology Club will host guest speaker Dr. Steve Maybell on Oct. 22.

Maybell is an instructor at Palomar who will discuss careers in psychology.

The Psychology Club, a student-run faculty-supported organization is hoping to stimulate and encourage an interest in psychology on campus.

According to club president Ron Coleman, "The field of psychology is so vast, we hope our club will help students make the right decisions in what they want to do with their psychology degree."

Forming the club was the idea of associate professors Kathy Townsend-Moreno, Robert Miller, and Karen Huffman. The organization's purpose is to provide information to students about careers in the field and psychology programs, according to Miller.

"With this club, students will be able to hear guest speakers, attend seminars and conventions," said Miller. "This is something they may have not been able to do without the Psychology Club bringing it all together."

Townsend-Moreno added, "Hopefully, our club will give students a chance to get their work presented at conventions, as well as give them an opportunity to see how research is shown professionally."

Club members hope to attend the American Psychology Society convention in San Diego this June.

As a psychology major at San Diego State, Karen Huffman said she found a lot of support and encouragement at the psychology clubs there and hopes to provide the saq1e for the students she advises here.

Vice-president Rose Lopez, who plans on getting a doctorate in psychology, added that this club is not just for psychology rnajors, but for those people who have undeclared majors as well.

The Psychology Club meets twice a month sfrom l-2p.m.inroomBE-6. Thereisa$10 lifetime membership fee and members must be enrolled in a psychology course. ...:.

Sean Nix named as senator

By Mark Wiberg Staff Writer The Associated Student Government was split in the election of a new senator, forcing a deciding vote by president Erik Johnson.

"It was the toughest decision I! ve made all year long," said Johnson.

The new senator, former ASG president, Sean Nix, carried the same number of votes as nominee Heather Douglas during last meeting's election.

It was Johnson who broke the tie.

"I know what Sean can do," said Johnson, "And I've seen what Heather can do. During Comet Week, she did a great job. I do hope Heather stays involved."

Douglas, who serves as Inter-Club Council representative from Alpha

Gamma Sigma said she will try again when the opportunity presents itself.

"I was a little disappointed, " Douglas said, "because it was something I worked hard for."

Nix told the student government that he wanted to be elected so that he can better serve the students.

"It was a very hard decision," Johnson said, "but I felt that with Sean actually having the contacts here, knowing the ropes a little bit more, that he would be more beneficial to have as a senator."

Johnson said he was glad to see so much interest in the position that was created when the ASG approved senator Anthony Montroy to be treasurer.

"I was really impressed that we had four (nominees)," Johnson said. "They were really articulate people. Hopefully they will stay involved."

Cheer team seeks additional funding for competition

By Mark Wiberg Staff Writer Several members of Palomar College's No. 2 nationally r~nked Cheerleading team met with the Associated Student Government Wednesday to request $1,500 to aid them in attending a January national competition in Dallas, Texas.

"While we're training for personal reasons," cheer squad member Paul Groom told the ASG, "when we put on our uniform, we represent Palomar College."

The requested funds would be part of a $7,000 trip to Dallas, according to the cheerleading team. The team received the same additional amount last year to attend the same competition from the student governmen t.

According to ASG Treasurer Anthony Montroy , this year ' s budget for the cheerleading team has reached $8,000.

Montroy said he thinks ASG has been fair to the cheerleaders this year.

"I sympathize with their need of money, and I think it's great that they ' ve done so much on their own," Montroy said. "I very much support the cheerleaders. " But in my opinion," Montroy continued, "the money is just not there. It's a large sum of money."

Several senators requested a report of fundra ising dollars raised by team members, referring to their fundraisers such as exhibitions and donations.

Members of the cheer team told ASG their fundraising mostly takes place off campus and is not as visible as other clubs' fundraisers.

Erik Johnson, president of the ASG and member of the cheer team said he didn't think a report was necessary.

"I find it very funny that this is the first time that someone has asked for a report," Johnson said. He acknowledged there could be a conflict of interest if he was eligible to vote. Presidents only vote in the event of a tie.

"We can take first place and when that trophy comes home, everybodys going to see Palomar College and that is what we've been working hard for," Groom said.

The ASG said they plan to vote on Nov. 27 on the requested funds.

Election '92; don•t miss this political circus Here come the clowns ....

Behind them is their entourage of handlers, big money men, sleaze bags, shysters, spin doctors, groupies, gapers, a.:d wannabes.

Yes, I am talking about the 1992 presidential campaign.

It began in earnest for the Democrats with the New Hampshire State Primaries. The Republicans kicked it off with a fund raising dinner in Texas.

In the center ring of the big top we have George Bush.

Bush, also known as the human chameleon, took the show three years agowith his impression of a kinder gentler Ronald Reagan. This time he hopes to dazzle us with his imitation of Dewight Eisenhower. However critics arealready saying he looks.more like Herbert Hoover than the likable Ike. What is a circus without side shows. Finally we are seeing the side shows spring up. For the most part they are local talent looking for a shot at the big time. However the number of new faces hasn't kept away some of the old timers.

Jerry Brown has returned after a long period away from the spot light. His current incarnation is that of an eastern riddler. Hey Jerry, what is the sound of one party clapping?

Ted Kennedy has been seen wearing his painted on sad face. This hasn't fooled anybody. It is going to take a lot

" Ted Kennedy has been wearing his painted on sad face. It is going to take a lot more grease paint than he has used so far to hide that familiar smirk." more grease paint than he has used so far, to hide that familiar smirk.

As always there are rumors that Mario Cumo the quiet giant is going to stand and say something. But for the moment he has maintained his traditional stoic silence.

Regardless of which side of the audience you sit on at least one thing about this shois already pretty clear. The Bush bashing which has dominated all of the Democratic speeches and the president's recent cuts at congressional democrats, make it a safe bet that we are looking at yet another dirty campaign.

It is easy to see why this has been true with all of our more recent campaigns. Pies in the face and seltzer showers make for better entertainment thllJ.l real politics. The antics of our elected officials is what keeps us glued to the TV s. This gives CNN a chance to plug beer, cars and investment plans, which is really what America is really all about.

The only problem is this leave us with out any real leadership in increasingly troubled times. ·

Safe sex should be a national priority Raymond Flynn, mayor of Boston, said last week that distributing condoms in public schools actually could lead to an increase in the spread of AIDS. (The San Diego Union, Nov. 14) In my opinion, Flynn's Statement is illogical and I like the comment of Tom McNaught, spokesman for the state (of Massachusetts) AIDS Action Committee. He said, "That's like saying making glasses available encourages alcoholism. Themayorshouldknowbetter." I agree. When my children were in grade school, dental health care proponents passed out toothbrushes to students on a regular basis.

This did not encourage a rash of candy eating or an eruption of rotten teeth. Today, as proof, my21-year-oldhashadone cavity, My 18-year-old, none. I hope you get the pointeducate and promote preventive health care.

Magic Johnson's pledge to promote safe sex has stirred things up in this country and it's a good thing because a recent study by the Federal Centers for Disease Control reported that 57 percent of all high school students in the nation said they have had sexual intercourse. (The San Diego Union, Nov. 14) I think Paul Palmer of the National Federation of State High School Associations is on the right track. In an AIDS prevention program he directs, he uses video discs encourage 13 through 15-year-olds to say no to sex. In his program, a discussion of condom use follows.

I think Palomar College is on the right the right track also.

Information on sexually transmitted diseases, including a video on AIDS, and condoms are available at Palomar.

Check with Student Health Services for these.

I say America should wake up and educate young people.

Preventive measures should be made available to high school students. Sex is a fact of life. Sadly, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases are becoming a fact of life too.

lime to answer questions about Kennedy assassination Today marks the 28th anniversary of President Kennedy's death and even though I was not born until eight years after the assassination, the events of that day have always been a source of intrigue for me. Nearly three decades later the event has spawned more than 600 books, a dozen television documentaries, countless novels, plays, mini-series, feature films and poems.

But one thing has stuck out in my mind about this case.

This is one of the most notorious murder cases in American history yet all the questions have not been answered. It is time that the government of this country reopen the investigation and solve this mystery.

There have been many theories about this case ranging from a CIA conspiracy to Mafia involvement. Fingers have been pointed in cover-up theories at J. Edgar Hoover, the Secret Service, Chief Justice Earl Warren, and even at Kennedy's own vice-president, Lyndon Baines Johnson.

The report from theW arren Commission, which came out 10-and-a-half months after the assassination, concluded Oswald was the onlv assassin and the case was closed. lam convinced that not only was the report a farce but it intentionally left out many important details. Several eye witnessess were not interviewed and some of the testimony from ones that were interviewed were left out. More than 50 of the witnesses that were standing in the plaza testified that they heard the shots coming from the grassy knoll, in a complete opposite direction from the building from which Oswald was supposed to have fired the shots. Why was this not explained?

A cover-up is certainly not beyond the United States Government. This has been proven in the years since Kennedy with controversies such as the Watergate and IranContra scandals.

The case reeks of cover-up. My biggest fear is that thiS case will be forgotten someday and whoever was involved directly or indirectly will undoubtedly never be known. The government owes the people of this country a solid and valid explanation and it is time for them to find one.

Doonesbury loses credibility A.S.G. President out for himself I am a weekly reader of The Telescope newspaper, and after reading many articles about the Associate Student Government! feel that our elected officials are not doing the job they were intrusted to perform.

In the past few years the Student Government of Palomar College has been involved in some sort of controversy, and A.S.G President Erik Johnson and a few choice senators in his administration seem to represent their own special interests instead of the interests of the student body at large.

Johnson's tenure as A.S.G. president shows that he is incapable of executing the duties of his office for which he was elected, and let us look at the recent events in his administration.

Shortly after Johnson became A.S.G President, he pushed through a Presidential Proclamation to allocate additional monies from the vending machine profits to the cheer squad summer camp account. Mr. Johnson's interests in this organization are more personal than academic since he is a member of this organization and should have put this to a full senate vote.

When the position opened for A.S.G. secretary, Mr. Johnson appointed a hiring committee to interview all qualified applications. For the second time, Erica Miller applied for the position, and without taking into consideration her past work record and the numerous complaints made by the previous administration regarding her work performance, she was automatically hired because of her personal relationship with Johnson. I am sure that other qualified people applied for this position.

When the A.S.G purchased the office stereo "so they could be in touch with the student body", this purchase cost the students in excess of $420. What Mr. Johnson and the senators failed to mention is that KKSM radio is not transmitted over the air so the audio or radio frequency portion had to be cabled into the A.S.G. office. Since their office is so "cramped", a studio monitor speaker or small table radio would have sufficed at a cost of under $100. This purchase was frivolous.

And last but not least, "the infamous trip to Sacramento."

Why should the student's funds be used for Mr. Johnson's and Ms. Miller's week-end liaison? She is only a student hourly employee hired by the A.S.G., not an elected member. Agreed, she did accompany them to a workshop in Irvine, but there is a difference between a one day trip and a three day stay over at a hotel, like "mucho bucks." It would be more economical and less controversial if a tape recorder be requisitioned from audio visual to record any necessary information at these workshops in Sacramento.

The monies that are collected from the students during registration and designated to the A.S.G are to be used for student represenationt and not to be considered their private slush fund. The student body at Palomar College feels that their elected officials are treating them as mushrooms, "keep them in the dark and feed them lots of dung." With elections drawing near, choose your candidate wisely. Remember, it's not how high you can lift a cheerleader in the air, but how high you can lift the integrity the student body.

All brains, no friends make for a

puter, the very well- to-do loner left out questions about his daily well-being, slowly attempting to lobotomize the childhood stage deep inside of his repressed surface.

All Fred wanted was to be able to fit in; to sometimes have someone to eat lunch with at school and not be laughed at for being himself.

But while the other children were happily scribbling stick figures on the pavement, Fred carefully created a work of chalk-art comparable to hangings in a fine gallery. Van Gogh was Fred's personal inspiration.

"Little Man Tate," although exploring a comparatively minute portion of our sometimes socially outcasted society, probes into everyone's mind, evoking some sort of sympathetic thought.

At one time or another in our lives, we have not quite fit in the norm. Thus Foster encompasses her whole audience, and sensitizes each of us to

And thus began the story of "Little Man Tate," a young Einstein in search of simple friendship in his extraordinary world.

"Little Man Tate, " starring Academy Award-winn4ng actress Jodie Foster in her feature film directorial debut, is the thoughtful story of a mother and her extremely gifted seven-year-old boy.

Scott Frank, who won earlier acclaim this year for his "Dead Again" screenplay, wrote the original screenplay. The plot of "Little Man Tate" is similar to "Real Genius" (Val Kilmer and Gabe Jarret) without the punch line humor.

By Salvador Marquez Staff Writer The most pretentious writing in the world is when a middle-aged critic, hardened by years of viewing bad films, decides to review a children's play, such as Palomar Theater's "Wind in the Willows," which premiered last Friday.

So, send in a child to do a man's job - in this case, Justin Luke Apsley, 10, a fourth-grader at TriCity Christian School in Oceanside.

I liked it better than the movie. It had more action.

Patience Justin, adults first. The opening number in "Wind in the Willows" was a pJeasant surprise, since I half-expected something sticky sweet and totally condescending.

Mary Bright, one of the play's interpreters, sang the opener with a pleasant simplicity. Her voice helped transform the brick interior of the Palomar Theater into river bank in the English countryside.

She did a good job singing. Shi! had a loud voice.

Urn, yes. "Wind in the Willows" is about Toad (played hoppingly well by David Gentry) who is an irresponsible amphibian, but soon comes around to a more acceptable lifestyle. He is restless, a spirited youth who takes life in the fast

lane, especially with automobiles.

Toadwasagoodactor. He did a lot of things well, like the movie did. He explained what he wasfor ... he just did a good job.

Gentry as Toad seemed to symbolize the Peter Pan in all of us, he longs for freedom in a repressed society.

Well, he wasfunny in some parts.

Um, yeah, he was funny.

Gentry exhibited a method in the mirth he displayed. From his loud, plaid green suit, wild, daredevil adventures - Toad's life was a living attack against the social morays of the inhabitants of the river.

He didn't think (laughter).

Rat (Matt Kenney), Mole (Dana Parker) and Badger

( B r u c e Blackwell) consisted of the morals squad out to reform the infamous Toad.

Both Kenney and Parker performed well in their roles- gobetweens Toad and Badger (the moral authority of the river).

Parker, portraying a curious, fed-up, adventure-seeking animal, did well.

Transforming from persecuted mother (The Crucible, her previous play) to male rodent apparently wasn't taxing for Parker.

At first, before I saw the play, I expected Mole to be a boy. She was a good actress. In some places, some things .females shouldn't be in, but in most other things it's o.k.

Left to right: The Rat, played by Matt Kenney, the Otter, played by Buck O'Brian, and the Mole, played

by Dana Parker, introduce themselves to each other and then discuss what their lunch plans are.

Like in my Christmas play, the musical that I'm performing in, they didn't have enough boys in the cast, so some of the girls had to play the shepherds' parts.

Kenney as Rat wasn't that far

removed from Toad- they both seemed devil-may-care, but Rat had enough wisdom to have some respectability. Kenney also has a good voice (he also was in the opening song).

Paul Steele

''Wind in the Willows" featured a cast of 29 aCtors, including seven children, in the performance. The characters are humans and animals.

I liked the Rat, he was very serious about what he said. You could hear him very well.

Blackwell, as Badger (defender of bourgeois ethics), could have been grumpier, more of recluse than what he displayed last Friday.

Facial expressions help - a great example of this was William. the Horse (Greg Hoadley) who was sarcastically refreshing.

And the Chief Weasel (Frank Hankin) had fun with his part, something that was evident during the performance. Frankly, (no pun intended) Badger didn't act like a badger.

BadgerwflS cranky, grumpy, but serious about Toad. But he was a good guy. He wasn't friends with the Weasels and you could tell that they were bad.

The Field Mice (Damien Price, Olivia Ontiveros, Autumn Joy Wilson, Kira Mills, Nyela Wilson, Megan Mills and Danielle Grasso) stole the show.

They were good. They sounded as if they were shy, though.

The sets were effective (including the tum-around stage). If there is any glaring critique, it is that the line execution was a bit off - a typical premier gremlin. Oh, the moral.

The lesson of this play was not to be greedy and make do with what you've got.

Take a kid to this one.

Comets win¡ makes homecoming

By Patrick Gifford Sports Editor

The Extra Point Sean Dean

Aztec fever is here to stay If you weren't at the Murph this last Saturday, then you missed hard-nosed football at its best.

People have said in the past that San Diego is not a great football town. Well this past weekend proved that theory to be wrong.

The San Diego State-Brigham Young football game was both thrilling and exhausting and had me on the edge my seat the whole time. It was definitely some of the best gridiron action that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

The Chargers come from behind victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday was the more than us di~-hard fans have had to cheer about in a long time. For me the big excitement of the weekend though was to see that Aztec fever is back, and hopefully to stay. It was great to see a packed crowd decked out in red and black cheering on San Diego State in what had to be their best game in years.

Certainly not since the days that current Palomar College head football coach Tom Craft, quarterbacked the Aztecs to a 10-1 record, has San Diego St. played with such intensity and excitement.

A lot of the credit for that should go to their head coach, AI Luginbill. He has done an outstanding job since taking over the red and black attack. Luginbill has guided the Aztecs to three straight winning seasons, and a bowl berth this year.

Luginbill is also uncanny in his recruiting for the school. He is creating an atmosphere that has local high school talent turning their backs on the Pac-10, (and others who take this cities best players) and staying home.

A prime example of this Kearny High graduate Damay Scott. Scott was recruited heavily nationwide but opted instead for Luginbill, and San Diego State. On Saturday against BYU he only set an NCAA freshman record with 242 yards recieving.

While San Diego St. may have tied BYU, (52-52) and they may not be going to the Holiday Bowl this year, they have gained well deserved respect in the Western Athletic Conference, and across the country.

One thing is for sure, people will no longer will be saying SDS who? The Aztecs are back, and winni~g is their new attitude.

Keep a close eye on them. because the next thing you know everyone will be crownmg them the Miami of the west.

Look out '1.urricanes!

The Comets football game on Nov. 9 was the school's Homecoming Game. That made it special for a lot of people, for a lot of different reasons.

It was special for all of the Alumni who returned, and also for the school which put-on Comet (spirit) week. It was special for all the students who participated, and to those who voted, or ran for king and queen.

But after all the cheering, reminiscing, and hoopla of a Homecoming Game, it was special to the people thatcountedthe most; the players.

For this game was a test. It came against a team who had won their last three games in a very impressive fashion, and at a time when the Comets could almost hear people doubting them ¡and their number four national ranking.

And with their last two games being anything but spectacular, it was a test to see what they were made of. The Comets proved their mettle by the days end in bringing the Olympians down to earth, and then pounding them into it with a 41-15 victory. In fact , it wasn ' t even as close as the lopsided score would indicate.

Using a ball control offense led by the running of Marcus Coffer, Leon Jackson, and Tyrone Cormier, in addition to the passing of quarterback Andy Loveland, the offense scored 38 points in the first three quarters.

But it was the defense that was the spark plug in this fired-up performance. They forced Mesa into five turnovers, and had eight sacks on their quarterback. Mesa was shutout in the first half, and only had seven points until they scored a touchdown and a twopoint conversion on the last play

Women•s Soccer in search of state title

"It was a big win for us," said Gibson.

"Everyone came up big when it was needed."

Some of the Comets who came up big to help contribute to the victory were Rhonda Paul, Jennifer Strother and Stephanie Case.

Paul and Strother each had a goal while Case chipped in with two assists. Mindy Billen added an assist as did Paul.

Palomar's next step is the state play-offs.

The Comets will face El Camino College here at Palomar College tomorrow in a first round match-up.

The game is a huge one for the Comets seeing as that this is the only team to defeat them this season. The final in that game was

The 1991 season for the Palomar College women's soccer team has been a dream year full of big wins and outstanding team play.

Assistant coach Henry Sosa commented earlier this season, "This team has the best talent in the state." The Comets have proven the coach to be right as they ended a tremendous regular season, with a 4-1 home victory over Cypress College last Friday.

Palomar, with the win finished undefeated in Orange Empire Conference play this season, and captured the conference championship.

Another telling fact of how dominant this team has been all year, is that the Comets have won 12 straight games.

Palomar (17-1-2 overall), was led once again by it's star player and Poway alumnus Allison Gibson. Gibson had two goals in the triumph and ended the regular season leading the conference and the state with a total of 28 goals.

2-1.

"It is a big game for us," said Gibson.

"They are the only team to defeat us this year and we're really fired up to play them."

The Comets look determined to avenge their only loss of the season, and to take a big step towards their ultimate dream, a state championship.

Men•s Soccer closes big

By Sean Dean .

Sports Writer

In a season that was full of frustration and tough losses, the Palomar College men's soccer team did end the season with their heads hung high.

The Comets (7-12-2 overall, 29-1 in conference) final gamewas at home and ended with a 2-1 loss to Cuyamaca College . Hardly an occasion to hang your head high.

That thrill cam~ in their last road game of the season as Palomar travelled to Chula Vista, to take on the number one team in their conference, Southwestern College.

There the Comets found some prideby coming away with their biggest win of the season, dropping the Apaches 3-2. The difference was Freshman forward Sean Clark's winning goal with 10 minutes remaining in the game.

Other Palomar athletes who contributed to the scoring were midfielders Fred Kaczmarek and Steve Nolan who each scored a goal. Forward Baris Sarsilmaz and mid fielder Eric Bowman each had an assist to help in the victory.

"It was a great win," said Nolan.

"It feels good to have beaten the number one team."

Sweepe r and catal yst for Palomar's defense, James Daza and defender Larry Head were a integral part of the triumph for the Comets.

Teamed with goalkeeper Tim Blattler, the three Palomar stars stopped all but two of the Apaches scoring threats.

"This win makes our season," said Daza. "We beat the number one team."

The men's soccer team can now look to next season. With hope that the sun will shine brighter for them in '92 and that the dark cloud that hung over them in '91 will be pushed away.

"It will be a different team next year a lot of the starters are leaving," said Nolan. "So we'll just have to see what happens."

In a recent match, Palomar wrestler Nate Garcia grapples with his opponent in the Palomar Dome. Head coach Joe Ismay expects the team will be ranked No. 1 in the state when the next set of ran kings are released. The Comets beat Rancho Santiago.

While the jury is still out on whether Palomar's football team should be ranked number one in California, the wrestling team has positioned itself to make a legitimate claim to the state's top ranking.

This became a possibility when Palomar, ranked second in California, came away from San Luis Obispo with first place in the Cal Poly tournament, on Nov. 16. Firstranked Fresno City College was buried in the tournament rankings at third place.

Although first-place isn't set in stone yet, Palomar's wrestling head coach is confident that finishing above the top-ranked team in a major tournament will be reason enough for a top-ranking.

"We'll be number-one in the next ranking," said head coach Joe Ismay, who will receive official word of Palomar's ranking by tomorrow. "I'm positive."

What may have endangered that, however, was a lackluster 21-19 win Wednesday over Rancho Santiago College.

Hampered by three Comets wrestlers in different weights and one forfeit, the outcome against the Dons was in doubt until 190-pound co-captain Erik Johnson earned the deciding team points.

Johnson, who won the match 21-6 said, "I got caught up in a frenzy like a shark."

If the top-ranking is awarded to the Comets, it was probably a result of cancelled wrestling tournaments- the Palomar Duals on Nov. 2 and the Lassen tournament on the following week.

Although winning, or doing well in large tournaments is the more conventional method to the top, having the time off was an unexpected blessing. "We had two weeks of great, I mean great practices," said assistant coach Peter Samhammer.

At Cal Poly, Johnson took the 190-pound title with a 15-5 win. Finishing second in the tournament were co-captain Dusty Harless (142),MattWallace(150)andRichardFreeman (167); Mike Wilkie (126) and Raul Huerta (134) - who barely missed the finals with a 3-lloss- ended up with third.

Notes: Wallace, who did so well in the Cal Poly tournament, was a late scratch from Wednesday's dual match. According to Ismay, Wallace's knee locked up during class, causing Palomar to forfeit its match in the 150 pound class.

In the upcoming North-South All-Star match at Fresno, tomorrow, Huerta, Harless and Freeman will be representing the South.

Ismay warns to keep an eye on Huerta. He predicts that the 134-poundermight become one of the state's best.

After Fresno, Palomar's grappling squad travels to Yuma, Arizona, for a match against Phoenix College.

It seems unfair. The genius had all that time. While you have a few

short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the dreaded astronomy exam.

On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp.

If Galileo had used Vivarin, maybe he could have mastered the solar system faster, too.

Determination was the word for the Lady Comets when they squared off against Imperial Valley College on Wednesday night.

"We had to win this match to make the regionals ," said outside hitter Stacee Alexander.

Although the Arabs, put up a good fight and kept it close, Palomar dominated the match by winning in three straight games 18-16, 15-13 and 15-7.

According to head coach Teri MacFarland, the team's success is due in part to the strong play of Alexander who led all players with 13 kills.

MacFarland, however said that she had her concerns when Alexander shifts from the front to the back row.

"Stacee is our kills leader," she said. "But

when she gets into the back row, the other players are thinking whether or not they can sideout."

This was evident during the second game when the Comets gave up four points before putting it away.

The team will have increase their level of play when they meet the defending champion Griffins of Grossmont College next.

Alexander noted that the team is "pretty confident" about their chances of beating the Griffins who haven't lost a conference match in six years.

Should the Comets, who are now in third place in their conference win, a playoff berth is guaranteed. "We' re confident about getting into the playoffs," MacFarland added.

The coach said that she is satisfied with the Comets overall record of 11-4, 8-4 in conference play- this despite losing two of their starters for the season to injuries. But she also noted that "there is room for improvement."
