Proposed student center on hold
Editor's note: This is the first installment ofa three-part series on the progress of building projects currently in the works for Palomar College. By RomanS. Koenig Editor.-in -Chief In the spring of 1990, Palomar College's Associated Studept Government proposed the construction of anew student center on campus. Now, two years later, the campaign to build the center bas come to a standstill due to lack of interest by ASG members, according to organization officials. "I've thought aboutit, but right now there's no movement in the ASG to pass (~e initiative)." said LoweD KepicS. student government senator. "It re3lly basn•t ~n Q,(Qught ll.P· Right nQW 'Ye're in a very ~sitiomll period." The original plan two yeats ago called for a second 1 ' stocy containing offices for Clubs andthtASG.as well as food court with a number of independent food vendors. Inrerescinpmsuing the ptojectbighte,e~ainin the fall of 1990. but the.reorganization of tlie ASG and o~r concerns are now taking presedence. According to both Kepics and ASG Adviser Jjln Bowen. attention has been focused this semester on the upheaval in student government after the president and trea.'>urer reSigned and one senator was successfully voted out of office by the ASG regarding mi~nduct in
office. Within the last three weeks, said Bowen, seven new people have joined the student government, making up a majority of the ASG. But despite the ASG's preoccupation with other matters, Bowen said he will continue to let studentgovernments down the lineknowoftheproposed student center's importance. At this point, he said, the best thing to do now is to wait until April's student government elections and work with the new group from scratch on the issue. Kepics cited several other reasonswhy the center: isn't being p~ued at this time, including the financinl commitmenttequiredtohireanarchitecttodrawupplansand the amount of work needed to drum up student support. Both Kepics and Bowen•agree that a massive.,PUblic~ ity campaign would be needed to get the support of the
stUdents. According tO both Kepics and Bowen, a student center fee would be needed to pay for construction of the cOf!Wlex.'I'he fee•scost would be$1 a unit, up to lOunits to be paid by students yearly, Kepics said. The fee came
into being. as a .result of a California state sellate bill '"
passed in the late 1980S."
MiraCosta College students passed the fee in the sp,Qng of 1988. and haq their' new tw<rstory :Student center completed by 1990. Kepics said that 3,600 students would have to vote at Palomar in order for such a fee to pass. When tl)e ASG

The student government leadership isn't alone in undergoing changes recently; their own constitution is now under the knife. On Wednesday, the ASG's constitutional review committee introduced suggested changes to the current constitution. "It's more focused," said Senator Lowell Kepics, one of three members of the committee. Senator Denny Ngo and Alpha Gamma Sigma member Heather Douglas are also members of the review committee. "Hopefully, this will set up a good framework for a longlasting and productive government," Kepics said. The proposed changes would allow the ASG to appoint four permanent vice-presidents heading up committees that include state affairs, social affairs, policy and procedures and finance. Kepics said most of the changes consisted of fixing up typographical errors and title names. If approved, the title of vice-president would be changed to executive vice-president, according to Kepics. The constitutional changes must first be approved by the ASG with a two-thirds vote, and then the Palomar student body must approve it with a two-thirds majority vote . Kepics added that by-laws in the constitution were still being reviewed, but mentioned that one by-law dealing with the recall of student officials has been expanded to be more thorough. In the past, the vague by-laws allowed for the past president to declare a recall invalid. A provision for impeachment of the student government president is also included in the new constitution. The by-laws do not have to be approved by the student • see CHANGES, page 3
Faulty air conditioner causes evacuation By Mike LaJoie Staff Writer Smoke from a faulty air-conditioner atop Room P-32 billowed into the student-occupiedclassroom Monday night, forcing students to leave the building. The Fire department was called to the scene by Campus Patrol. "Apparently a motor-blower inside the air-conditioner malfunctioned and caused smoke to enter the ventilation system." said San Marcos Fire Captain Chris Marchizo. The faulty air-conditioner has not been repaired. "The air-conditioner was old," said Facilities Director Mike Ellis. "The motors sometimes fail, but this kind of thing is unusual." Professor Richard Peacock was showing his Art/Cinema class the movie "Salaam Bombay" when a burning-smell and wisps of smoke filled the class room. "Nothing like this ever happens," said Peacock, "it's quite a surprise." The disturbance lasted less than an hour, however, class was not resumed.

Fundraising a success At the curtain raiser for the 1992 private fund raising effort, it was announced by Dale Wallenius, chief advancement officer for Palomar, that$110,000toward the goal of$250,000 had already been given or pledged. At a reception hosted by Escondido Motors, Ltd., Dr. George Boggs, president/ superintendent of Palomar, thanked the donors of the "Leadership Gifts." "The college can no longer rely strictly on state and local tax sources to meet the growing educational needs of our citizens. Palomar College is a taxassisted institution, not taxsupported," Boggs explained. One of the door prizes sponsored by Angelo Damante, president of Escondido Motors, was the use of a Mercedez-Benz 560L for the weekend. It was won by Maria Backart, a financial aid technician at Palomar. If you can help to support the Palomar College Foundation, pleasecall744-1150or727-7529, Ext. 2732 or 2733.
More parking spaces Dr. George Boggs, president/ superintendent of Palomar College, accepted a million dollar check late in January from Mayor Jerry C. Harmon of Escondido for the acquisition of land and construction of a parking lot south of the Escondido satellite campus. The funds became available through a redevelopment bond. The new parking area is expected to be ready for use for the fall '92 semester classes beginning in August.

NEWS Junior colleges may lose with parental choice By Salvador Marquez Lifestyle Editor An initiative, meant to revolutionize public education at the elementary and high school level, can possibly endanger funding for community colleges. This is the end result if the "Parental Choice in Education Initiative" is put on the ballot and passed in November, according to Palomar President Dr. George Boggs. "This lowers the Proposition 98 income, which thecommunitycolleges have conservatively estimated the loss of $140 million annually by 1995," said Boggs. "For Palomar College that could mean a $1.5 million a year loss." The initiative will grant parents the option of sending their elementary and high school age children to any school of their choice, say proponents. Half of the tax support (averaged from districts across the state) will be given to families in the form of a voucher for each school-age pupil. The vouchers can be used toward private schools, which are allowed different curriculum and standards than those of public schools. Losses will incur on the community college level, says Boggs, since Proposition 98 funding is contingent to public school attendance. Proponentsoftheinitiativemust have at least 615,958 signatures of registered voters by May 28 to be eligible for the November ballot. While some see the initiative as the death knell for public education, others see it as reform. Former Vista School Board member Dr. Stephen Guffanti heads "Parents
for Educational Choice," and said the central issue is parents' rights. "The fundamental issue is: do parents deserve the right to control where the child goes to school," said Guffanti, who gave up a private medical practice to lobby for the initiative. "We spent $28 million to educate five million kids," said Guffanti. "Fifty percent of those kids will come out with a seventhgrade education - meaning we paid for 12 years and got seven." Proponents also see a division of the lower and higher classes in education, citing a 1983 study by the U.S. Department of Education which states that, nationally, education is becoming an unequal twotiered system. The big fear, say opponents of the initiative, is the lack of regulation that will be a result of its implementation. "Schoolscannotderegulateand keep high standards at the same time," said Dr. Harry Weinberg, San Diego County superintendent of schools. "It's like a Rube Goldberg contraption- it won't fly." Boggs, while he agrees in principle with parental choice, said these choices should be made between public schools. He says he sees the initiative as the government sponsoring private business, in some aspects, promoting religion (in the case of parochial schools). ond largest group in favor of the initiative are minorities, according to a Meta poll of 500. He said more inner city families will have access to prestigious private schools with the vouchers.

Nonetheless, Bowen said that the ASG must think ahead of current problems if an upgraded Student Union is to become reality. ¡ :'Hey, get movin' ," he said. "Think ahead, don 'tjust think about the near future. What are they going to need in five years? In five years,if we keep growing like this, everything's going to need upgrading. And the only way you're going to get money for this facility is through the student center fee."

OPEN FORUM Students are directed toward community education Are today's college students being directed towards community colleges to fill their general education requirements? The once agonizing decision about where to attend college has become less of an optional choice and more a financial decision. Governor Wilson's new educational budget proposal gives validity to this claim. Wilson's proposal outlines a 10% increase for California state funded community colleges. This budget plan does not include an increase for UC or CSU school systems beyond COLA (costoflivingallowance) increases. California's community colleges, state universities and UC schools all receive roughly thesarneamountoffunding, butthecostspent on each full-time student by these schools varies. Each school makes budget allowances in accord with its needs. For example, schools in the UC system tend to spend a sizeable portion of their state funding on research costs. In contrast, community colleges spend very little of their funding on this, but their student population is much larger. On an average, the state funds around $15,000 per full-time student at the UC level. Although the CSU schools spend less, about $8,000 per full-time student, the real savings to the state comes with educating community college students - the cost per full-time student being only about $3,000. Governor Wilson's intent appears to be that of educating more students for less. Because of the current state budget crunch, a rise in tuition fees in all three systems has ensued. In San Diego, students at UCSD are being the most severely affected. Their tuition fees have gone up nearly 40 percent over last year's fees. Because of these high enrollment fees, many high school seniors planning for a future college education are undoubtably taking this into consideration. The low cost ofcommunity college surely is an appealing alternative, especially in today' s unstable economy.
Political awareness club formed on campus
Telescope fighting the 'war on drugs' commended
I would like to inform the entire student body of Palomar college that a much needed student club has officially formed. The club, Student Organization for Political Awareness (SOPA), will be one of the most active clubs on campus. Members of SOPA will have the chance to inform others about political issues, meet with local and state representatives to discuss concerns, and see how politics really works. SOPA already has many members; however, SOPA would like to encourage all students to join. SOPA's first meeting will be held on March 4 in SU-16 at 3 pm. Attending the meetings is helpful but not mandatory, there are other arrangements if you can not attend the scheduled meetings. Hope to see all you activists there.
I commendyouforyourFeb.21 Telescope issue featuring several articles dealing with drug and alcohol problems, programs and services on campus. Palomar College students, staff and faculty are dedicated to drug education, prevention and intervention. There are many, many people on campus combining efforts to fight the war on drugs. It is with continued campus-wide cooperative and administrative support, that the programs you featured have a chance to make a difference . Your advocacy is laudable

maintain some credibility, I know that this letter will appear in this weeks issue. While I was a member of the Associated Student Government, I often heard The Telescope say, "Wearenotprejudiceagainst anyone." Today, that falsehood will have to stop. I confrrmed for myself the rumor that our school paper, The Telescope, had a picture offormer senator Tom Turk hanging in their office with dart holes all over his face and though that was not enough, there was comments plastered around the picture. However funny the staff of The Telescope may fin~ this sort of immature thing, it obviously reflects an opinion which the staff has. Sure it may of only been one person who hung the picture and wrote the remarks next to it and maybe only one person threw the darts, but it would have also only taken one person to remove it.
Anthony Montroy President of SOPA Editor's note: The Telescope staffwas aware ofthe problems associated with the photo in question and repeatedly asked the staff member who posted the picture to remove it. The picture did not go up until after Turk had been removed from office and does not reflect biased news reporting .

Why public support of private education is a bad idea The "Choice in Education League" has submitted a voucher initiative entitled "Parental Choice in Education" to the State Attorney General's Office, hoping to qualify it for the November 1992 ballot. No doubt we will be asked to sign the initiative as we enter or exit supermarkets, drug stores, or other public places. The authors hope to collect 61 5,9 58 valid signatures by May 28, 1992, thereby taking to the voters in November the choice of public support for private schools and state-supported scholarships for every kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12) student in California. At the same time, the legislature will be debatingthemeritsofaconstitutionalamendment (SCA 30) which would have nearly identical provisions. Differences include provisions on the number of students necessary to constitute a scholarship-redeeming school, prohibitions on employment or ownership by those convicted of child abuse or molestation, and specific revisions ofProposition 98, the voter-approved guarantee of funding for public education. Supporters, however, are focusing on the initiate rather than the constitutional amendment because no voucher legislation has ever passed through the legislature despite repeated attempts during the last fifteen years. Under the initiative, publicly-supported scholarship vouchers would be at least SO% of the state-wide K -12 spending per pupil in the prior year. For 1991-1992, the estimate for each and every K-12 student is SO% of $S,ooo, or $2,500. While the initiative would prohibit children already enrolled in private schools from receiving the scholarship vouchers until 1995-1996, new private school students could begin receiving them in 1993-1994. Even assuming no growth in private school enrollment between now and 1995 and no increase in per pupil spending, the citizens in California could be asked to support 500,000 private school students to the tune of $2,500 each. Yes, that totals
Superintendent/ President George R. Boggs gives his statement on private education $1.25 billion per year starting in 1995. If only 10% of the public school students shifted to eligible private schools by 1995, state officials estimate that the cost could be another $2.5 billion. Unless the taxpayers can come up with another $1.25 to $3.75 billion per year to fund these vouchers, public schools stand to lose a considerable amount of their funding. And it doesn 'tstop there. Under Proposition 98, the minimum funding guarantee for public schools would drop by between $5,000 and $10,000 for every student who accepts a scholarship voucher to attend an eligible private school, the actual amount depending on the state's economy and the public school enrollment Of course, public schools will save some money by not educating the students who leave them for the private schools. The marginal savings is estimated to be $4,000 per student lost Subtracting the $4,000 savings from·the $5,000 to $10,000 toll yeilds a net loss of between $1,000 and $6,000 per student who leaves a public school. Because community college funding also is allocated
By Darren Ane Arts & Entertainment Editor I understand that animal rights activists work for a worthwhile cause and I respect that However, I don't respect them when they jump to conclusions and protest before they know the facts. Last week a tiger was shot and killed at the San Diego Wild Animal Park after he escaped from his rain-damaged enclosure. When the story hit the press there was an instant uproar with the activists and the general public. The park was immediately crucified and criticized for its actions before an explanation was given. The tiger was discovered loose at 6:10 p.m. and by the time they caught up with him he was moving fast and he was too far away to tranquilize. Because of the darkness, the density of the brush and the rain, repeated

under the provisions of Proposition 98, they will also lose money, even though their students will not be eligible to receive the state-funded vouchers. Losses to community colleges by the 1995-1996 school year are estimated to be a least $140 million annually. Proponents of the voucher initiative cite perceived lack of quality i.Tl a public education system which must accept all students, Amelia A. Bowles and perceptions that rigid publicly-mandated bureaucracy has made the schools unresponsive to parents. They hope to empower parents by letting them "vote with their feet." That is, they want the ability to take their children and $2,500 per child in public money to the school of their choice.

possible, even though to lose an animal is devastating to all who work at the park. Tigers are predatory animals. The alternative to the choice made could have ended in the loss of human life or other animals in the park. As an employee of the park I regret the loss of the animal but I support the decision made by the individuals involved. The park: and the San Diego Zoo are operated by the San Diego Zoological Society, which is a non-profit organization. It is the largest zoo society in the United States and has achieved international acclaim. The park has been recognized by curators and zoo-keepers from all over the world for its excellence in animal care, education and preservation. It was named the best zoo in 1991 by the American Aquarium Zoo and Park Association.
They earned this reputation by treating the animals as their top priority. The people who work there, whether they work with the animals or take tickets, care a great deal for the animals. I would like the activists and protestors to realize that this was the only choice avail- · able and it is one they will always regret For the keepers, trainers and curators at the park:, losing an animal is like losing a child. They did not do anything wrong and I think the activists need to open their eyes before they open their mouths.

chaos. Wheeling and dealing is done in a wink, over large sums of capital at times. But this kind of action is not restricted to Wall Street types. "It's an auction which meets every day at 9:30a.m. (EST) and lasts until4 p.m. (EST)," said John Forbes, account vice president for Paine Webber in Rancho Bernardo. "Say you want to buy some stock in McDonalds. You tell me how many shares you want and what you're willing to pay. I send it by wire to the New York Stock Exchange," Forbes said. When the wire is received on the floor, that's when the shouting and throwing bits of paper occur, he says. Those people are doing the actual buying and selling of stocks. For the average college student, playing the stock market is furthest from their mind, not to mention money. But according to Jose Esteban, associate professor of economicsatPalomar, "Studentscanandshould invest their money. "Before investing, the student needs to look at what am I investing this for; short term for that ski trip next year or long term for a house or very long term for retirement," said Esteban. Esteban warns, "Never, ever invest in something you don't understand. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. The problem is scams and a lot of people in San Diego have been taken by scams." According to Esteban, the stock market is not the first place to go for students. "For as little as $500 and no particular stock in mind, a student can invest with a mutual funds development company," he said. The company will handle everything and there are no brokerage fees, Esteban added. Mutual funds were started 10 years ago because most people couldn't get into the stock market "This is a good way for a student to go," he said. It works just like the stock market, it is divided into shares and if it makes money you make money, Esteban added. To get your money, just cash it in. Individual Retirement Accounts for college students are a fantastic investment, explained Esteban. "There were banks that would take as . little as $25 a year and the rate of return was extremely high," he continued. "But that all changed because of the bloody politicians and changes in legislation." A new twist on this investment are super IRAs, whereindividualscan borrow on them to buy a house or for educational expenses.

Jose Esteban, Palomar economics professor thing about the IRAs." he said. Esteban believes that, for a student, investing in an IRA is a very safe, long term investment. It will provide supplemental income for retirement. Another area of investment for a college student is dollar cost averaging, where the student can invest a fixed amount of money and doesn't worry if stock goes up or down, according to Esteban. If a student is employed, another way to buy stocks is to purchase stocks in the company they work for. "There are no brokerage fees to pay and the company will usually help with the cost," he added. According to Forbes, when students enter the corporate world they need to know about 401K programs. "It's a saving investment plan where they can buy company stock or mutual funds. It forces them to save money," he said. However,the stock market is underutilized by college students according to Esteban. "They would make more money if they used their funds wisely," he said. However, he adds the stock market isn't for anyone. "A person must be calm, cool and collected, not emotional," he said.

Mari Omori Artist Nemour's brightly colored illustrations are seduced by romantic ideas. Although Nemour is not Mexican, her art is heavily influenced by images south of the border. One such example is "Ojos que no ven/Eyes that do not see." In this large pastel, the woe of a woman is depicted.

Only the essentials, for an assumption, fills the frame to its full capacity. There is no face on the "other woman," and only the head and shoulder of the "boyfriend" is shown. Nemour's passionate narralives, contain a multiplicity of interper-tations. TraditionalMexican symbols, such as coffee cups to represent fortunetelling, are used to aid in direction of the pastel. However, Nemour believes that they are "read by way of one' s personal history." In contrast to the bright, flashy

matador-like images of" Bodies and Souls," "Black Drawings" depicts a quiet and meditative feeling. Omori imports Japanese style on theblackandwhitehangingscrolls that make up the series of graphite and ink drawings. "Having been born in Japan, a land ruled by rigid conformity, I was brought up in an environment of an orderly and systematic way of life," says Omori. Her artwork is an apparent reflection of Japanese culture. One such illustration, "Black Rain/ Never Again," is a reference to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Although mainly black in appearance, the white on the paper can be interpreted as hope. Black, upsidedown hand prints in the center of whiteness adds to the abstract art. Omori says that "the work deals with human conditions: man's emotions, mortality and history." Characteristic of Omori's drawings is the stark contrast of black and white, and conformed grid lines. "Contrast of black and white markings convey a relation between absence and presence. Presence made known by absence, and absence revealed by presence. The tension between the two generates a force. The grids, numbers and Kanji characters act as time/place devices ... they connect the past and the present." Although Omori and Nemour strong! y contrast in style, they both use a basis of culture to support their drawings. The use of medium color, or lack of for that matter, is effectively used by the two artists to transport their feelings to the onlooker.

Kings to take Comets ·tally two wins the throne Palomar baseball slides into league play In the past the Los Angeles Kings have not lived up to their team nickname. Instead of ruling the ice, they have been the court jesters of the Campbell Conference and the National Hockey League. The Kings have never won a Stanley Cup Championship but owner Bruce McNall is doing everything in his power to buy one. In doing so McNall has brought in pro hockey's greatest player Wayne Gretzky, as well as right winger J ari Kurri and defenseman Paul Coffey, to the city of angels to direct such ah attempt. Gretzky, is the NHL's all-time leading scorer and is beginning the twilight of his career but he can still skate with the best of them. Proof of that is evident in the fact that he is currently leading the league in scoring. Kurri on the season has been a disappointment so far, though his past experience of being with a winning organization in Edmonton with Gretzky, r.offey and defenseman Marty McSorley, should help out come play-off time. Coffey, recently acquired from Pittsburgh, could be the missing link the Kings defense has needed all season. He should also be a positive influence on young defensemen like Rob Blake and Brent Thompson, who have grown up quick this season. The key of course in the quest for the cup besides staying healthy, which has been a problem for Los Angeles this season, is defense. This is something the common Kings fan has not witnessed all season. Goalie Kelly Hrudey has had an up and down season, but has done a great job considering the support he has been given. The recent acquistion of goalieS teve Weeks from the Islanders will give Hrudey the needed rest on occasion to prepare for the playoffs. The Kings also ·possess one of the best young lines in hockey known as the "The Kid Line," featuring Kyosti Karjalainen, Corey Millen and Mike Donnelly. This line has turned out to be a big surprise for coach Tom Webster and helped keep Los Angeles from falling into the depths of the Smythe Division. Add to that the veteran talent of all-star left winger LucRobitaille, right winger Dave Taylor and the return of right winger Tomas Sandstrom from injury, Los Angeles has the . makings of a team that could challenge for Lord Stanley's cup. However, Father Time is rounding the corner on most of the Los Angeles Kings athletes so McNall has to ·hope all his wheeling and dealing pays off this season and that the Kings take their rightful place on the throne.
By Steve Fox Sports Writer Palomar's baseball team finished the first week of Pacific Coast Conference play with mixed results. Coach Bob Vetter said he felt the team played too tight in the conference opener against San Diego City College, however he was pleased with the way they settled in to play much more relaxed on Saturday against Imperial Valley. After playing only three games prior to the start of conference action Vetter is now forced to use league games to help him set the starting lineup. The effects of early season inactivity showed. City College took advantage of poor control by starting pitcher Matt Taylor in the first inning to jump out to a 4-0 lead. The Comets were able to mount an attack in the middle innings but came up·too short. "Spike Mitchell's home run in the fifth
inning gave us momentum," Vetter said. "We had them in control then gave up two runs in the seventh inning on errors," he added. The Comets could get no closer than 4-3 in the fifth inning before finally losing the game by a score of 6-3. Saturday's game against Imperial Valley showed Vetter signs of a tum around for his club. "A couple of errors hurt us early against Valley, but that's to be expected right now," said Vetter. Infielders Eddie Thompson, at third base, and Brian Kooiman, at second base, helped to put an end to that as they played outstanding defense. Three successful double plays by the Palomar infield supported a strong performance by starting pitcher RobertErp. Chris Adams then took over the mound in the late innings and recorded a save as the Comets came out on top 6-4. Vetter felt the offense in the game was

After the game Vetter said he was happy to get the fust conference win under his belt and optimistic toward the rest of the season. "We have some sophomores that are the type to lead by performance.

Men's hoops head into playoffs By Salvador Marquez Lifestyle Editor Upon trouncing MiraCosta College last Saturday, 80-72, Palomar College clinched a state playoff spot and finished their season 6-6 in the Pacific Coast Conference, 13-18 overall. The Comets will have little time to celebrate, however, since their opposition will be College of the Canyons (ranked sixth in the state, fifth in Southern California) at Newhall tomorrow. "They're a good, solid basketball team, with an offense similiar to ours," said Richard Johnson, head coach of the Comets. According to Johnson, Palomar's 28th seeding (out of 32 teams) was somewhat of a surprise. Although he said he expected the Comets to finish higher, Johnson has seen improvement with his squad since ChristmasPalomar since went 4-2 in conference. Inexperience and the loss of all-conference guard Michael Graves (to injury) have contributed to Palomar's early-season malaise. In Grave's absence, freshman Dana Pope, first-string AllPacific Coast Conference guard, has had a stellar year so far. Pope led the PCC in scoring.

Jason Wiegel digs out a shot during a match last season. The '92 volleyball team couldn't win a close one against Grossmont Feb. 21, losing 3-1 to the Griffins in The Dome.
Comet spikers taunted by loss to Griffins By David Mosier Sports Writer After dropping the first game of their match Feb. 21, the men's volleyball team went on a roll that made them seem unstoppable. However ,their dominance lasted only through the second game and their inconsistent play led to a loss against rival Grossmont 15-11,11-15,15-13,15-11. In the first game, which was played equally sloppy by both teams, Palomar traded points and sideouts until the end, when Grossmont pulled it out to take the advantage. Before the second game, head coach Duncan McFarland made a few changes, one of w~ich had Randy Lawrence seeing his first action of the night Lawrence, who compiled a game high 17 kills, led Palomar in a very competitive second game.
Golf swings Gulls lookin.g at Lindros into action The NHL's super prospect Eric Lindros may be on his way to the San Diego Gulls. New owner Fred Comrie has offered Quebec's number one draft pick and Canadian Olympic hero a 30 game minor league contract worth in the neighborhood of $500,000. If the Gulls manage this aquisition I think it would be safe to say San Diego would have the second best hockey team in California, San Jose of the NHL a close third.

N.L. West, Dr. J and boxing's darkest days
Both teams stepped up the level of their play, but the Comets were able to execute in all phases of the game. Palomar was able to get their passes up to the net which let setter Justin Gresham open up all his options on offense. The third game started similar to the second as Palomar jumped to a 13-3 lead, only to see it go as quickly as it came. The poor serve receiving that haunted the team in the first game returned and the offense became almost predictable. Middle blockers Chris Bannock and Jason Ford saw almost no action in the offense because Gresham was forced to set mostly to the outside. Grossmont battled back, overcame the Comets, and stunned the team and the crowd. As the fourth game started, it seemed as Palomar had found it's game again getting off to a 8-2 lead,however, lightning does
strike twice and without any waming,they went into the tank. The Griffins used a clutch block and good serving to even up the score and eventually put the home team away for good. The four game match left the Comet 's scratching their heads, wondering what had happened to their big leads. Some of the Grossmont players made the defeat even harder for the Comets to swallow by celebrating after key points, including taunting some of the Palomar athletes. The referees didn't let it go unnoticed issuing three yellow card warnings and one red card which gave the Comets a point. Eric Bean and Ford contributed 13 kills apiece in the losing effort. Palomar will have to wait until April 8 for another shot at Grossmont. The Comets will play Palomar alumni on March4 before taking on Long Beach March 6.
