·Jesse Jackson addresses student leaders Student Government members attend Washington, D.C. conference By Mark Wiberg News Editor Three Palomar student representatives and their adviser recently met and listened to Rev. Jesse Jackson, at the annual USSA conference in Washington D.C. in

March. Associated Student Government President Paul Raineri, Senators Denny Ngo,Robert Jenkins and ASG adviser Jim Bowen attended the speech given by Jackson to kick off National Student Lobby Day. According to Jenkins, Jackson spoke to the students from around the nation's colleges and universities to stress the importance of student voter registration. Jenkins said Jackson talked of

visiting campuses nationwide to promote the influences tudents can have on legislation. "I have his number," Jenkins said. ''I'm going to coordinate with community colleges and universities in this area to bring Jesse Jackson here." Jenkins said he hopes this will encourage and make it easy for Jackson to visit San Diego County campuses. Jackson was first of several speakers on the issue of student voter registration and lobbying. "We met up there," Jenkins said, "went to workshops. They taught us how to lobby effectively." Senator N go said the conference was worthwhile. "The USSA is a very strong organization that not only represents four-year universities, but all schools."

Transit Center moving slowly Editor's note: This is the last installment in a three-part series about planned construction projects at Palomar College. By Roman S. Koenig Editor-in-Chief According to an official with the San Diego County Transit District, the process to begin construction of a transit center on campus has _ been less than speedy. Steve Ron, senior transportation specialist for the Transit District, ·said the long wait for the center resulted from the death of the project's architect nearly two years ago and a three-step approval process by the Office of State Architect. "The third (step of approval) is supposed to be completed this month, but we've heard that from them before," said Ron. The first

J. OST IN J..IMIIO? two steps were approved in January, he said. The third step involves approval of the building structure. After that process is completed, Ron said it will take about three months to make any changes in design as prescribed by the Office of State Architect and advertise for a contractor to construct the building. Ron said construction could start this summer and take a year to complete. Plans for the estimated $1.5 million transit center call for four bus bays and a drop-off for the disabled in front of the theater. The entrance of the college would also be moved east with a new stoplight installed at the intersection of

Mission Road and the entrance. Ron said initial planning for the project began back in 1982, when a study of five area cities was conducted to determine where a transit center could best be located. San Marcos was chosen. The project was dormant until 1985, when planning began in earnest, he said. Then the setbacks occurred. "There was not much we could've done," he said about the college's and the Transit District's efforts to work around the setbacks. "We all tried." Last September, Palomar President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs said the long wait for the center was a lesson in patience. Ron indicated that the Transit District is optimistic about fmally getting the transit center project off and driving. "We're looking forward to it," he said.

Financial aid, budget cuts and reel tape were major issues for Palomar's representatives attending the annual United States StudentAssociation in Washington D.C. this month. According to President Bush's 1993 proposed budget, $9 5 million will be slashed from educational assistance programs affecting half a million students. Paul Raineri, president of the Associated Student Government attended the conference. "President Bush says he is the educational president," he said. "But tuition is increasing, classes are being cut,

and funding for fmancial aid is being cut or eliminated. Actions speak louder than words." Raineri and ASG senators, Robert Jenkins and Denny Ngo joined 600 students from community colleges and universities to express their views to Congress at the conference which was held March 3 through 6. One issue concerning the USSA was reduced funding for federally funded grants and loans. The association's position papers warned students attending the conference that budget cuts would eliminate Pell Grants for over 400,000 eligible recipients and another 140,000 students would • see ISSUES, page 3

Mammograms offered thru Health Center Student Health Services will offer on-campus mamography screening at a reduced rate to Palomar students and staff on March 24, from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States. Mammography can detect breast cancer in its earliest, most curable stage. Woman's Imaging Network will provide a licensed, female xray technologist to perform the screening. Screening is by appointment only and the fee is $65 for students, $70 for staff. Women's Imaging Network can no longer accomodate patients who have breast implants or silicone injections. This is because a radiologist is not available on-site to answer questions regarding the implant/silicone issue. Call Student Health Services at 744-1150 Ext. 2380 for an appointment or further questions.

NEWS Indian Studies' head wins fight for needed space American Indian Studies accepts gift of picnic table from Patrons By David Mosier Staff Writer Victory was declared on March 9 by American Indian Studies Department Head Linda Locklear, putting an end to her year long battle for more office space. Her reward was a picnic table outside of her P-10 office. This unique table will provide a little more freedom and comfort for the six staff members who share one office, she said. Locklear started her struggle a year ago when she went to VicePresident of Instruction Dr. Merrilee Lewis to plead her case. But approval from the college Beautification Committee was needed before her petition could be consid-

ered. As soon as the approval came through, Lewis put the department's request on top of her priority list, according to Locklear. But despite being under serious consideration, Locklear said nothing was being done to help the cramped faculty members, so the department decided to hunt elsewhere for the money they needed. Finally, Locklear was able to fmd help from the Patrons of Palomar who provided enough funds for a table and landscape work. "The Patrons are proud to help Palomar. That's what we're here for," said Phyllis Nimmo, president of the Patrons of Palomar. At first glance, the table looks like it's made from redwood, but it

Administration forces 'fowl-weather' roosters to fly the coop Wednesday By Amelia Bowles Editor-in-Chief This Wednesday was not a good one for Palomar Public Information office staffers. The PIO mascots, "Colonel" and "Sanders," were removed from campus and taken to a chicken ranch. According to Mike Gregoryk,

director of administrative services, there were several reasons why the roosters were taken away. "They are a health hazard and should not be on a college campus," said Gregoryk. He added that the college had several complaints from staff and students who were afraid of the roosters. "One student was so

frightened of them she could not come to classes as long as they were on campus," he said. However, workers in the AA building were not happy with the roosters' removal. "It was handled wrong. They could have told us beforehand," said Ruth Gossard, executive assistant to Palomar's Foundation Board. "We all are

angry and disappointed," she added. "There was a real sense of loss. They brought joy to our workplace, a sense of warmth," said Lois Wunderley, associate professor of behavioral sciences. "We were attached to these roosters, which indicates something is missing in the work environment here at Palomar." Norma Fiola, a student writer

for PIO said the roosters were no health hazard. "I find it absolutely preposterous that there would be a concern over whether they (the roosters) are clean enough for this campus." Gregoryk said the roosters have been placed in a safe home - a ranch on Twin Oaks Valley Road owned by Bill Rucker, who raises several different breeds of chickens, according to Gregoryk.

New club works Âˇto support Palomar College's veterans By Steve Fox Staff Writer Assisting veterans that are having problems making the transition to civilian life is the main goal of the new Palomar Veteran's Club, according to Vice President John Matthews. The new club is also working to strengthen campus awareness of the club in its inaugural semester. Flyers have been posted around campus displaying the club name, time, and place of meetings. Matthews was once in the same position as a student returning from the armed forces in the 1970s only to feel intimidated on a college campus before dropping out in his frrst semester, he_later added. "We are a support group more than anything else," said club President Patricia Hodny. All members attending the meetings agree that they must concentrate on what they can do to ease the transition of veterans into school and help needy veterans with donations that club members hope to collect during the semester. Plans to raise funds include getting

donations of clothes, canned foods and any other non-perishable foods, according to Hodny. To help ease the transition into school, the club members plan to help with tutoring, making grants and scholarships more readily available to qualified veterans to raise money for the needy. "A veteran's experience at school is different due to the experiences they have had," said Matthews. Future plans for the club include raising money for the club through various fund raisers on campus. The money raised will be used partially to help the homeless in the community but mainly to establish scholarships for veterans that are active members of the club. However, Matthews stressed that the club's emphasis was on getting veterans involved, while money-making was secondary. Otber officers are secretary Jennifer Ruhlman and treasurer Steve McClelland. Club attendance has been low for the frrst few meetings, but membership is open to all people currently or previously in the armed forces. Club meetings are every Thursday at 1 p.m. in room SU-22.

Position expands language program By Mike LaJoie Staff Writer In an effort to assist deaf students and sign Âˇ language interpreters at Palomar, The Disabled Student Programs and Service (DSP&S) has hired a Palomar teacher to fill a new "interpreter coordinator" position. Marilyn Zottolo will supervise advanced training sessions for students of sign language and acCjess their skills. Also, she will help provide interpreters for sessions between deaf students and career counselors, according to Ron Haines, the director of DSP&S. "Palomar College has the second largest deaf-serving program in the county," said Haines during his presentation of new DSP&S pro'grams to the Governing Board Tuesday. Thirty one deaf students are enrolled at Palomar, about half that of Mesa

college. Marilyn Zottolo was chosen for the new position March 1. She previously taught sign language at Mira Costa College before starting at Palomar in 1991. Zottolo expressed a positive outlook on her new title. "I think it's a positive way to help the Palomar's deaf students. More deaf students are enrolling at Palomar because of the new programs the center has to offer, and that's great" . In other parts of the DSP&S presentation, Haines explained efforts to motivate and encourage students in the vocational areas of Computer-Assisted Drafting (CAD), a program where the disabled can excel. The program uses computer software and hardware that allows a disabled person to construct drafting plans of all sorts-anything from a wheel to a jet engine.

Republican Bob Frazee, running for his eighth term in the California State Legislature, recently spoke to an audience at Palomar about the problems facing a politician during a severe economic drought. Frazee was introduced by Palomar President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs as a "friend to education." "He has always been receptive over the years to listening to our problems and seeing that they are known by the state government," said Boggs. Frazee emphasized the difficulty in trying to budget during one of California's worst financial crisis. "Sales and income

people spend less, but need more," Frazee said. Frazee gave an example of cutting the need for human services in the health care area. "I visited the pre-natal care unit at UCSD. It really drives home the demand for pre-natal care when you see a room full of pre-mature and ill children. The doctor giving me the tour told me that this was the frrst time most of the mothers of these children had seen the inside of the hospital. "If we had made education more accessible to these mothers, we could have significantly reduced the amount of problems there," Frazee said.

Honor Society volunteers help gallery By Sarah Schultz Staff Writer Louise Boehm, the Boehm Gallery's director, was taken by surprise when Joanne LaViolette, a member of Palomar's honor society(Alpha Gamma Sigma), showed up on the doorstep of Boehm Gallery. The director was in need of help with the painting of several walls for upcoming exhibitions. LaViolette arrived to say that AGS would be that help. In previous semesters, a Gallery Management and Display class helped with installations of the exhibitions, but this semester the ciass was cut because of a lack of students. "I don 'tknow what we would have done," Boehm said. Boehm explained that she was going to try to hire students or get the painters on campus to help, but that "Joanne just appeared at the right time." Approximately seven AGS members worked in two-hour shifts from March 5

through 10, mailing flyers and painting walls, boxes, and stools. Boehm said they did a terrific job. "It's really nice to think that there's a group like that out there that wants to volunteer," Boehm said. "I was overcome."

OPEN FORUM Prop.140 will shape up leaders A little over 200 years ago, trouble starting brewing in one of the British colonies. The locals grew tired of working like slaves to support the ruling class, who gave them little in return and lived by a greedy and more libertine set of standards. Well, the subjects rebelled, an armed revolution began and the United States was born. Last November, California voters approved-Proposition 140. This measure limits members of the state senate to two terms and legislators to three. While not exactly a revolution, the message we sent is much the same as those early American colonists. Only this is not directed at the British, but at our own elected officials. The check-bouncing practice by members of the U.S. House of Representatives has added fuel to the fire sweeping the country. A local politician's feelings toward the problem ties the problem to a nationwide perspective. At a Washington D.C. press conference, Congressman Duncan Hunter, R-Coronado, typifies the comtemptuous attitude politicians seem to have toward constituents. When asked about the check bouncing practice, Hunter replied "I refuse to apologize." Over the years, we have been subject to Watergate, the Iran-Contra scandal, the Savings and Loan nightmare, Noriega/CIA connections, $800 toilet seats, John Sununu's extravagant spending of tax-dollars- and the list goes on. When we are constantly subject to this kind of abuse, it's no wonder that people are looking for radical reform. There is a general feeling .that we would be better represented by people who suffer the same hardships that we do. Political opposition to term-limits has been loud, but just two weeks ago, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Proposition 140 will stand. There are problems with term-limits. Those politicians who are sincerely dedicated to representing the needs of their voters will have to step down to someone who may lack ambition. Concern has also been raised that lobbyists, who have no limitations, will gain more power and influence than novice politicians. Proposition 140 is not perfect, but until we find a way to insure an honest and truly representative government, it puts a stop to a problem that could get much worse.

" And to think ... we were all senators before Prop. 140 passed... "

Here's a couple of other things to think about: styrofoam is not currently being recycled (it's possible, but too costly) and it is not biodegradable. It won't break down in 50 years, 1,000 years or ever, and when it is incinerated it releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. C02 levels have already increased by 25% over the last 100 years, and global warming is not a theory- it is a fact I urge the ASG to prove that they are something more than a bunch of partiers and take a stand on the issue. If they don't, I hope the Biosphere club will field a candidate with an environmental platform this April, and I urge all students of Palomar to speak out on the issue and rid our school of styrofoam products.

leges" decided to change their institutions' designations to "Community Colleges." Apparently this was acted upon, positively, since the term "Junior College" brought to mind a less than desirable venue for education. The term "Community College" allows the public to view us as: 1.) involved within the communities in which we reside, and 2.) an educational facility beyond the scope of an "all-most" college. If my understanding is correct, it would seem that students and faculty should honor what this title says: we bow to no one, and have every reason to be proud of this, the Palomar Community College.

Money to fight 'drug war' is up in smoke By Jacques Domercq Staff Writer Our nation is under siege. We are being attacked by the same form of hysteria that created the "red scare" in the' 50s; we are being attacked by the same forces that put Hitler in power in Nazi Germany. Our Constitution guarantees us the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. President Bush's "drug war" wants to take those rights away. In 1990 Congress almost passed a drug · enforcement bill vague enough that through interpretation it could eliminate all our freedoms outlined in the Bill of Rights. In a recent poll taken by ABC and The Washington Post, 62 percent of Americans indicated they would be willing to give up "a few freedoms we have in this country" to significantly reduce illegal drug use; 67 percent favored allowing police to stop cars at random and search for drugs "even if it means that the cars of people like you are sometimes stopped and searched;" and 83 percent of the people polled would turn in someone they knew was using drugs, "even if they person using drugs is a family member." Bush's drug war is working. The majority of Americans are willing to give up their rights for the drug war. Many people believe that drugs have always been illegal in this country. This is wrong. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, opiates, cannabis, and cocaine were sold across the counter all over this great land. Marijuana was not made illegal until it was a clear threat to the oil, chemical, and pharmaceutical companies. It was a . politic~ move to protect the interests of a few powerful individuals with phony scare tactics about the "evil" effects it had on people's behavior and their body. Many of those beliefs are still alive today. It is, in many doctors' view, a "safer" drug than alcohol. It should not even be illegal. All of this is documented inJackHerer's book, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes." President Bush is spending $7.9 billion on the war on drugs. Where is this going? Is it going to clinics to keep addicts off drugs? Why isn't this $7.9 billion going to support the people who want to quit?

Alternative treatments do exist. They work because they stimulate the body's production of endorphins. Endorphins are the body's natural pain killers that are surpressed when opiates are taken. How many billions from the "drug war" budget are going to the research and treatment of addicts

using endorphins? It would be surprising if President Bush or his so-called drug experts who advise him even know what endorphins are. While effective treatment is non-existent, we are spending billions on ineffectual enforcement Michael Levine was a deep-undercover DEA agent in South America. He became disillusioned by the drug war when he realized his work was futile. He was iriterviewed by "The Humanist" in October 1990. "The CIA was helping put drug dealers in power while friends of mine were dying on the streets for ounces and grams," said Levine. Levine busted Jose Roberto Gasser and Alfredo Gutierrez, two of the biggest drug dealers in South America, taking $9 million in cash. At the time it was the biggest bust in DEA history. "Now they're both arrested walking out of the bank with the money. Before I get back to Argen" tina, Gassser is released from custody by Michael Sullivan the Assistant U.S . District Attorney," said Levine. The drug war was never intended to bust criminals, it was created to erode the Constitution. What is said to be a "drug war" is in reality a war against Americans. The media barrage of the drug .war is working.

'User friendly' computer jargon It used to be that dinner-time conversations consisted mainly of what went on in our daily activities and what was going on in the world. Not any longer. If you live with a computer jock/jockette as I do, you know what I'm talking about, the conversation is now computereeze. It's all foreign to me, so I decided to come up with my own definitions of computer terminology. First/'ll start with IBM language: Bit: When your dog bites you. Nibble: When your lover bites you. Byte: When your dog is really mad and takes out major chunks of your skin. Execute: What should be done to most politicians. Abort: Depends on whether you're pro-life or pro-choice. AutoExec.Bat: Automotive executive hoping to make pro~baseball. Boot: An article of clothing one puts on when it rains. Reboot: What you have to do when the first boot leaks. M9<Iem: How a mouse talks. Mouse: A critter who lives in your computer. Mouse Pad: Where the mouse lives, decorated in new wave style. Internet: Where tennis players interact. Hard Drive: California commuters. RAM: A big-homed sheep found in parts of California. Memory: Something most of us lose. Chip: For poker or bingo. Depends on whether your liberal or Catholic. Cache: What you have on hand after you've bought your computer. Now for terms for all those MAC users: Control Panel: A group of congressmen who control government Trash: What can't be recycled. View: A phenomenon that occurs when there is no smog. Desktop: A good place to throw stuff on, sometimes used to study on. Windows: What usually needs to be washed but rarely are. Chooser: Someone who chooses you or me to wash windows. Icon: What some people worship. Eject: What Navy pilots do when their plane decides to bite the dust. Fatal error: Worse than fatal attraction. You wish you were dead but aren't Limit checks: What the house bank must now do to congressmen. Select all: What voters should do in presidential elections; that way nobody can win and the country will be better of. Well, I hope this helps. I know it has made my life a little bit easier. Ah, the English language, fascinating isn't it

Palomar Child Care Center. Over 100 Palomar employees and students use the center.

Not mere child's play ,. Palomar daycare center vital for single-parent students By Mike LaJoie Staff Writer

very weekday morning at 8 A.M., Lisa Beaman drops her four-year-old son Colin off at the daycare center. As a single-mother her responsibilities with Colin are great. She attends to him when he is hungry, when he is sick and performs all the other duties a mother must do. Mter dropping Colin off, Beaman isn't headed for work, but her morning classes at Palomar. She is one of the 55 single-parents who utilize the Palomar Child Care Center and attends classes. "The Child Care Center is flexible with my school schedule, and that's what makes going to school possible," said Beaman. She is enrolled in 15 units, majors in Business Administration and attends Palomar five days-a -week. Like other students with children, Beaman realizes the advantages of enrolling her son at the center. "The center is right there where I can see my child after class. If he, s sick, I know he, s right where he can get me~cal help and I can be there with him," said Beaman. Enrolling her child at the center, as many other

parents can attest, can be most difficult. Beaman had to wait a year before the center could accept Colin. The main reason is the large number of students wanting to use the center's services, accordingtoJoyce Williams,directorofthecenter. "When you have a center like this, you have to enroll subsidized and non-subsidized children equally." said Williams, as another reason for the backlog. "Right now, there are 156 children enrolled at the center. That's as many as we can accept." The center is geared for children- one to five years old- in a pre-kindergarten program. The waiting list has 576 applicants. "We'd like to accept more, but the center can only accept so many," said Williams. Of the 156 children at the center, 22 belong to Palomar College employees. Non-students also use the center- 47 children belong to parents outside of Palomar. The remaining 87 children are from full and part-time students at Palomar. Many parents who have had their _children on the waiting list feel the rewards are worth the wait. "If it weren't for the Child Care Center, I would have not made it through college," said Kathryn TaffPeterson, who now teaches for the Escondido School District. Peterson was a single-parent while she attended Palomar in 1976 Âˇ She felt she was very lucky to get in. "The center helped me IOO%," said Peterson.

James Marshall and Cuba Gooding Jr. star in the drama "Gladiator," a Columbia Pictures release.

'Gladiator' lacks punch By Salvador Marquez Lifestyle Editor There is a sense of loss felt after watching "The Gladiator," a sense that money and time was wasted watching this low-brow flick. Someone should notify Ralph Nader; even at the bargain price, "The Gladiator" is still a rip-off. Let me further elucidate: a movie is in real bad shape when the only thing going for it is the soundtrack, which was sub-par- considering it featured 3rd Bass, Warrant and Gerado. Although it is a critic's sin to give away the plot during a review, there can be no sin when there is no plot. What is sinful is the sheer idiocy of the movie' s premise.

of professional wrestling. But who can really believe that Hom, an evil huckster of a promoter that aspires to be a white Don King, would ever agree to fight O'Reilly in one last battle royale? At stake was O'Reilly's soul ifhe lost, he would have to agree to fight for Hom. If he won, O'Reilly gets to clear his father's gambling debts, keeps his girl and his pride. It's easy to guess what happens, though it would be an interesting twist had O'Reilly lost. This is precisely the type of movie "The Gladiator" aspires to be: a film that telegraphs its plodding plot to a degree that only a fiveminute dose would be enough to know what happened before and what's next. I'm only glad it was the arts and entertainment editor who paid for the ticket.

'Once Upon .a Crime' is 路a waste of time By Sandy Kraisirideja Staff Writer

路MOVIES

fends off mob bullies headed by Hom (Brian Dennehy) and vindicates his girlfriend and his principles with true grit. Sound familiar? Remember "Rocky"? Two elements stand out in this movie, two that deserve the booby prize for smaltz. One is obvious, if you have seen the commercials: the attempt to make some statement about race relations by pairing O'Reilly with a Afro-American boxer named Lincoln (Cuba Gooding Jr.). Both O'Reilly and Lincoln seek freedom from Hom's oppressive thumb. An Afro-American named Lincoln seeking freedom - how blatantly obvious can these boxing-genre makers be? The other element that should be examined is the climax. Up to this point, the movie has proceeded with all the fmesse and complexity

Lastweek,"Blameiton the Bellboy" and "Once Upon a Crime," two comedy-mysteries with large semi-star casts opened to a less than enthusiastic audience. I had the unfortunate ta~k of choosing one to review. I decided to see "Once Upon a Crime," and discovered it should really be called "Don't Waste Your Time." The movie stars John Candy, Jim Belushi, Cybil Shephard, Sean Young, and Richard Lewis, with minor parts going to Giancarlo Giannini, Ornella Muti, and George Hamilton. With "Pink

Panther" style the film attempts to be a spoof, but on what is difficult to pin down. The plot loosely surrounds a dog named Napoleon who inadvertently links up all the characters in themurderofhisowner. Wouldn' t it be nice if someone used some-thing besides animals and luggage to link people together in comedymysteries? The ftlm is a hellish mixture of slap-stick, mix-ups, and a lot of yelling. I'm convinced ear-plugs were mandatory through threefourths of filming. The success of this movie~ depended largely on audience reaction to its jokes, gags, etc. I admit to chuckling a few times during

this film. My incentive to see this movie 路 was its stars, and they ended up being the biggest disappointment. There must have been an unwritten code that all of the actors had to follow: perform your roles with exaggeration and always look as if you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It was painful to see Candy, Belushi, Shephard, Young, and Lewis discard their talent for an irritating, two-bit film with absolutely no originality. The only actor who stood out, in my opinion, was Giannini. He was perfect as the straight-faced inspector. Unfortunately, his performance was not enough to salvage this movie which will soon be collecting dust at your local video store.

SPORTS Ir's Mv OPINION Patrick Gifford

A Shark ·in an ocean of SDSU squids Attention all San Diegans, lt''s now official, the Shark-alert has been called off, and you may now go back into the water. The safety of the city has been returned as the big scare is finally over.. Bruised and . well beaten, The Shark is heading back out to sea. Though feared by many and despite the countless warnings given by the so-called local experts, the only shark attacks reported here were made on the shark itself. . As the massive waves this incident stirred-up begin to settle, the threat of danger has apparently disappeared. Hopefully after all the paronoia and the killer instinct surrounding those individuals caught up in the feeding frenzy, The Great Shark, Jerry Tarkanian, will be left alone. Well SDSU, I hope your finally satisfied. I hopeyourhappywhen,inthefuture, the fisherman of this city gather to talk sports they realize what could have been. But now, thanks to a bunch of outspoken, ignorant landlubbers in the academic world, the story will only be about the one that got away. By not taking the bait supplied by Athletic Director Fred Miller and landing The Shark, SDSU missed an oppurtunity to improve interest and gain national a-ttention not only in basketball but also for their entire sports prograni. It is unfair for many school and state trustees to openly speak poorly of Tarkanian when they don't even know the man, or what he really stands for. Administrators are always saying that success should not be measured by his coaching record, even though he is currently the winningnest active coach percentage-wise in NCAA history. Maybe critics should measure Tarkanian through the people who know first-hand what he is really like. Just ask the players that were recruited, taught by, and also played for him. Ask them how they feel about The Shark as a coach and as a person. Just take a look at the care and affection displayed by the team leaders ofUNLV's national championship season of 1990. Rather than go out on top as Juniors and grab the big bucks offered by plunging into the NBA draft, his three best players stayed for their senior season for their coach and teammates, who had become like family. Now three of these athletes are members of the NBA, all wearing their UNLV uniform number as a tribute. Yet seeminglingly, no one gives Tark credit for any of his players graduatillg from college, while our nation's public school system can't get America's youth to successfully complete high school.

Comet pitchers hurl past Longview By Steve Fox StportsWriter Palomar shut out visiting Longview College of Missouri in a pair of non-league games behind the strength of their starting pitching. Scott Tebbetts started and allowed only three hits in the first game on Friday before turning it over to the bullpen in an 8-0 victory. The Comets pushed across five runs in the first two innings in support of Tebbetts. "We've been playing catch up every game. It's nice to get a breather," said Head Coach Bob· Vetter. Matt Taylor started the second game for the Comets in Saturday's 13-0 win and matched Tebbetts performance with a three hitter of his own before handing the game

over to the bullpen. The pitching staff recorded 11 strikeouts in all. Vetter was encouraged to sec his pitchers throwing strikes consistently. "The pitching staff as a whole did a great job," said Vetter. "ButrightnQwTaylorhas the hot hand for us." Designated hitter Ben Duncan led the barrage of runs by the Comets by lt!ming in a 3-for-3 performance with a pair of doubles and three RBis. "Duncan had a solid weekend. He hit the ball hard for us," said Vetter. Hitting helped the pitchers in both games. "Scoring early runs allowed us to play relaxed and as a result we produced," said Vetter, "It's nice to take the pressure off of the defense and pitching." The Comets move back to .500 (7-7-1) on the season with the two victories. Vetter feels thatat4-5 in the conference they can't

afford to lose too many more games if they expect to stay in the race. According to Vetter the coming week is very important with games scheduled against Southwestern and Sail Diego City. "We need to win two out of three each week the rest of ti1e way," said Vetter. March 17, the Comets played host to Grossmont whom they tookaparl6-4. Pitcher MattTaylor,agraduateofOrangeGlen, shut the Griffins down, allowing one run in the third and three in the sixth on his way to a complete game victory. The victory put Palomar in a tie for third with a 5-5 Pacific Coast Conference record, 8-7-1 overall. The upstart Comets have won five of their last six games and will host the Apaches of Southwestern College, March 21 at noon.

In路 the ring - A.L. vs. N.L. Comet golfers tee off 4-0

Gifford and Mosier debate which is the better game

By Christopher Gast Sports Writer The Palomar golf team has the rest of the conference taking refuge behind the bunkers, posting a win Monday to improve their record to 4-0. Lake San Marcos was the backdrop for Monday's match between路 Mesa, Cuyamacca and Palomar Community Colleges where, behind the scores of Darren Chini and Rob Lang, who both shot medal winning 75's along with Paul Calabrase's 76, the Comets matched Mesa with a tota1390. Cuyamacaa which totaled 414, was left buried in the sand. Paul Calabrase, the sixth man on the Palomar roster, arose as the unexepected hero in the tournament when his 84 came in lower than Mesa's sixth man for the tie-breaking win. Although the victory solidified the Comets claim on first in the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC), Coach Bob Lusky admitted the team was sinking into an early season slump. "We've been playing in streaks," he said. "Hopefully we'll be able to right ~e ship by next Monday. We need to get back on track." Slump or not, Lusky's squad has been sailing through the '92 season on the placid sea that is the PCC. At the helm are first and second seeded golfers Rob Lang and Shawn Me Caskey who have posted combined150s in the first two tourneys, good enough for the top spot in the league. The Comets will again take on Mesa and Cuyamaca March 23 at Torrey Pines, Mesa's home course.

N.L. runs circles Fen way beats low scoring N.L. affairs around A.L.

Let me start by saying that I am a Red Sox fan, so I'm very familiar with the heartache of losing late inning, one-run games. Granted with Boston most of these games wind up 9-8 or 7-6, but in historic Fen way Park with the legendary "Green Monster" emphasis is on scoring runs and swinging away. In fact, that pretty much sums up the general attitude and overall style of play that is employed in the American League. The American League philosophy is not complex, you put your best batters up against our best pitchers, and we'll do the same. Then, play ball! With the DH rule, somewhat smaller stadium dimensions favoring the long ball, the A.L.'s aggressive attitude pleases those fans who like to see the favorite players decide the outcome of the game.

The San Diego Padres play in the National League, thus, the majority of San Diegans aren't very familiar with the American League. Feel fortunate because even though the Padres don't entertain the community as we often hope, the N.L. gives fans an opportunity to see everything the game of baseball has to offer. There's more to the game of baseball than hitting and pitching. In the A.L. it's either all or Rob Deer heading back into the dugout with another undented bat. I won't honor the fact that there are plenty of great hitters in the A.L. But what good is it if Wade Boggs hits .350 and Jack Clark strikes out more times than he get.') a hit. Th~ N.L. has obtained athletes who exc~! :.n.. 0re phases of the game and use them to win games without a shutout or the offense hitting four homeruns a game. Because of the speedsters in theN.L. you 'II fmd a lot more games where a team will finish an inning with one rtin on only one hit and the hit wasn't a homer. I'm sure there's no one in theA.L. who's hit more triples than Vince Coleman. This style not only wins baseball games but it keeps fans from using the seventh inning stretch as a reminder that they're bored. I'd love to have inter-league play just to see guys like Otis Nixon run wild and make a stiff, old catcher like Carlton Fisk have to deal with him. They'd have to start a new stat for most stolen bases by one player on one pitch. Then the A.L. would realize that bunting, speed and strategy can win a lot of games on a night when your offense is sputtering. But if inter-league games were ever to be played the argument of what to do with the pitchers spot in the lineup would be the first problem. Easy, get rid of the worst rule ever to be used in professional sports. The designated hitter. The DH has almost made the strategical aspect of a managers job obsolete. Maybe owners should get rid of managers and use the money to pay for the overweight ,overpayed player they need to roll off the bench and swing a bat four times a night. Then even if they do make it on base, most DH' s need a homerun to guarantee they'll reach home safely. The Minnesota Twins are the onlyA.L. team to incorporate these ideas into their game. And they've won two World Series in five years, that didn't have a lot of scoring and the teams relyed on manufacturing runs to win the games. Who can remember a World Series more exciting than last year's?
