Colwnbus Day began with a "noncelebration" on Palomar's campus Monday when dancers and speakers participated in a commemoration of Native junerican culture. The morning event was followed by a scholarly colloquium where over 150 students heard panelists discuss the impact of Columbus's voyages to the W estem world. A library exhibit on display thoughout October was included with the activites. Representing many Native Americans, students voiced their views on maintaining cultural values while living with traditional teachings about Christopher Columbus. Sue Martin, co-chair of a committee of representatives from the American Indian Organization, MEChA and the Afrikan/American Student Alliance, said the commemoration was arranged to support cultural integrity and cultural traditions. She also described the event as an effort to help people become more aware of the misinformation students get from the mainstream. Recognizing "that 70 million people were killed is no reason to

celebrate," she said. Social sciences professor Dr. Christopher Johnson, a panelist for the Columbus Day colloquium, described Columbus's arrival as · the beginning of mass destruction, where ·the most virulent deliverer of death was disease. Native· Americans did not understand how "Europeans had the power to kill without touching their people," he said. "They believed the aggression was a spiritual aggression." Johnson joined panelists Jose Rangel, associate professor of multicultural studies, Charles Hanlen, associate professor of social sciences, and Steve Crouthamel, associate professor of American Indian studies for the colloquiwn heldinP-32. The panel detailed the viewpoints of Columbus, the Spanish, and the Native Americans in 1492, and discussed the impact when two physically and culturally different worlds collide. According to Linda Locklear, associate professor for American Indian Studies, thecolloquiwn was offered to students as a way of taking a controversial issue and putting it in an arena for more scholarly dialogue. Hanlen said it's important to keep Colwnbus in perspective, that we
don't "impose 20th century mentality on a 15th century event" This was not politically incorrect at this time, he said. Columbus left looking for trade routes and came back with a new population, said Rangel. "The Spanish world found it difficult to accept non-Spaniards into the European world." Johnson said Columbus "brought with him a capitalist dynamic that only looked at the new world truly as a place to make serious money." Johnson added that Columbus's voyages did lead to advantages for Native Americans. Europeans and Native Americans shared food and the "Sacred Dog," the European horse, became a great asset to Native Americans, he said. Students were curious about how how secondary schools should approach the Columbus controversy. The panelists said the schools need to break away from the myth regarding Columbus. Johnson, whose wife is an elementary school teacher, said more accurate views are being taught. Colwnbus Day is turning from a celebration to a commemoration, he said. "Columbus didn't discover a new world, he discovered an old world," Johnson said. "The two created one world."

NEWS Congressional candidate,k nocks campaign funding By Kathy Combs News Editor
the combination is detrimental to our future. Farber says legislators are strongly influenced by PACs, which make substantial contributions to political candidates. Farber believes campaigns should be funded by the general public. "PACgroupsarekillingourcountry," he said. 'These groups are controlling our future." Calling Packard "a rubber stamp," Farber charged that the congressman has failed to initiate new plans during his incumbency. He also said special interest groups influenced Packard's deci-
According to one congressional candidate, it's time to clean the house. At a political forum Oct. 9, Democratic candidate Michael Farber told students that "we need fresh blood with fresh vision on board." Incumbent Ron Packard has been in office for too long, he said. Farber, who is vying for the 48th district's congressional seat, blastedPackard,aRepublican, and political action committees saying

sion on pending legislation. "He was voted one of the 10 most obscure congressman in Congress," Farber said, referring to an article appearing in Rollcall magazine. Farber added that Packard has received several donations from the cable-TV industry's special interest group over the years.· He was one of73legislators who voted against re-regulating the cable-TV industry, he said. David Coggin, chief of staff ~g for Ron Packard said the legislator was pleased to be on Rollcall's list The congressmen were also called the "work horses" . of Congress, he said. They were obscure because they were getting things done, he added Coggin said that Packard has not accepted any contributions from cable-TV PACs for the last two years and that he is in favor of eliminating PACs.
"He voted against the cable-TV bill because he felt it will result in higher rates for cable users," he said. Describing himself as "a professional.business man, not a professional politician, "Farber said businesses will lead us out of the recession. "Weareoverregulatedandovertaxed," he said."We don't need more regulation, we need more jobs." As an incentive for growth, legislators should allow a targeted capital gains tax cut which would be used to invest in businesses that would produce more jobs, he said. Farber, a graduate from the University of California, San Diego, said he feels tax-free loans up to $25,000 should be available for students. He also labeled vou~hers as the beginning of the end for public education in this country.

The lot, which is now all dirt, is temporarily closed so that 750 new parking spaces can be created, said Facilities Director Mike Ellis. The construction has been de-

· Nurse pursues seat on Tri-City Hospital Board By Matthew Hogan Staff Writer
Janette Bowker/StaffPhotographer
RN Darlene Garrahy (left) takes the blood pressure of pre-nursing student, Kathy Manuel (right).
"Good 'ol boy politics." That's how Darlene Garrahy, a Palomar College and Tri-City Hospital nurse, characterized the board of administration and chief executive officer of Tri-City Hospital in an interview Oct. 7. Garrahy is running for a seat on the board of administrators at TriCity Hospital. With three seats open and eight candidates running, she plans to work hard to separate herself from her opponents. At open forum on station AM 1000 KCEO, she debated two incumbents on a number of issues regarding healthcare, finances and administration. Garrahy says her main concern is to improve patient care. Garrahy said the board of admin-

istration is failing to properly serve North County residents. "They care more about asphalt, rebarb and cement and less about community," she emphatically said about the current administration. Garrahy charged that one failed construction project contributed to a $38 million debt for the hospital. Tri-City CEO Leon Hooper disputed Garrahy's accusation. "I would suggest that if Darlene wants to quote information she should call and get the correct figures," he said. Garrahy, a former student ofPalomar, said she feels the quality of health care has gone down. After 12 years at Tri-City, Garrahy feels she knows the strengths and weaknesses and has an insight she says is lacking in the current administration. "The public wants the best health care money can buy," she said.
Public forum slated for candidates By Roger Fregoso Staff Writer The 12 candidates running for Palomar Colleges' Governing Board will participate in a public forum slated for Oct. 20. The event will take place in the Howard Brubeck Theater. The event begins at 6 p.m. and will be open for questions from the public. Refreshments will be served after the forum. Students who miss this forum can attend another one which will be held Oct 30 during the afternoon here on campus .

Telescope editor wins S.D. Press Club award By Michael Barder Staff Writer Perhaps every student's dream is to be able to attend college with out worrying about how to pay for it, and for former Telescope Editorin-Chief Roman S. Koenig, this dream is not far from being realized. Koenig won the $1,000 SanDiego Press Club Scholarship for 1992. "I was pleasantly surprised," said Koenig, "I did not expect to win the scholarship," Koenig said that because of the plethora of community college and university newspapers, he was not expecting to be the one picked to receive the award.
The scholarship was based on the years of service to the student's school newspaper and the student's philosophy on journalism. The San Diego Press Club is an organization that helps promote printed and visual journalism in San Diego County, said Koenig, who plans to join the club in the near future. Koenig was a student at Palomar for two years, majQittng in journalism. He now attends Cal State University, San Marcos, as a political science major. Koenig was editor-in-chief of the Telescope during the 19~-91 school year, and was co ~-in-chief during the 1991-92 schOOl year along with Palomar student Amelia Bowles.

ASG treasurer calls for fiscal restaint By Roger Fregoso Staff Writer Associated Student Government Treasurer Sarah Garcia continued to urge her colleagues to allocate ASG monies wisely Wednesday, warning them thatonlyeightweeks into the semester they have already spent more than half of their budget "It's easy for ASG to spend since it is not their money. It does not burn a hole in their pocket," said Garcia after the student government meeting in room SU-22. For the second week, Garcia has told the panel to watch how much money they spend. According to Garcia, the 1992-93 Emergency Reserve Funds budget had $19,000 in it at the beginning of the semester which included some roll over funds from last year. Over $10,000 has been approved for expenditures in the last last six ASG meetings. Wednesday, an-

other $500 was approved for software for the ASG computer. While she contends that many of the funds are used for worthwhile things, such as benches and umbrellas for the Student Union, she believes that some unnecessary expenses have been approved. "This money should be be spent to benefit as many students as possible," Garcia said. Among expenses approved to date are a $500 retreat for ASG members, approximately $500 to support the groups that took part in the protest of the anniversary of Colombus's landing and $500 for a glass case in the Student Union. ASG President Lowell Kepics said he could not comment on the budget until he has time to review it and see where ASG stands financially. "ASG must cover expenditures for the entire (school) year," said Garcia. ''The mem hers should consider the resolutions carefully," she

said at the Oct 7 meeting. Discussion of budget woes were the welcoming committee for two new member of ASG. They include senators Tisha Self and Garrett Collins. Two years ago, Collins (who then went by the name of Garrett Whitehead), served as ASG senator and petitioned to dissolve ASG. He cited students lack of interest in student government and poor voter turnout in ASG elections as reasons to disband the ASG. Collins abandoned his plan after collecting only 64 signatures out of a needed 1,250. Since Collins will be working with the ASG again, he has one major goal he said. He plans to promote a closer working relationship with faculty and administration as their goals relate to students."

I'm not bad, l'm just drawn that way By Steve Troop Managing Editor The '30s and '40s are considered by many to be the "golden age" of animation. MGM was producing the "Tom and Jerry" shorts (the good ones), Warner Bros. had its "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies," and of course Walt Disney was producing the first of many feature-length animated fllms. But what made these years any better than today? Some would say that they had more time and money to spend on animation. Remember the depression and World War II? If anything, they had less time and money. But they did have something else. Something so vital and important, that it couldn't be ignored. The men and women responsible for these American treasures had the initiative and pride necessary to get the job done. They didn't care that they weren't getting union wages for the work they were doing. They were working, and they were doing what they wanted to do. Today, animation is done prirnaril y overseas. Television animation (yes, even "The Simpsons") is almost entirely done overseas because the work is so much cheaper, and the quality isn't a fraction of what it once was. Disney would be turning in his grave if he saw some of the animation turned out on "The Disney afternoon" today. There are plenty of artists who spend their time doodling at their fast food jobs, unaware that they have the talent to make it in the business. But today's animation business is only looking for the fast buck and isn't interested in spending a little money to help put America back on its feet. I say it's time that animation came back to America, the country that made it great and then lost it As with all things today, America's potential is only barely being tapped. But what do I know? I'm just an animator.
To the Editor: On Oct. 8, Palomar College's Gay and Lesbian Association (GALA) celebrated national coming out day.

The day of the event. members of the ASG were prevented from making an official ASG banner or speaking in behalf of the ASG. Since then, members of the ASG took it upon themselves to review the Palomar College affumati ve action policy. The policy protects both faculty and students against discrimination on the basis of race, sex, color, age, religion, ancestry, creed, national origin, political belief, marital status, medical condition, physicl disability, Vietnam Era veteran status and sexual preference. Such a policy nullifies the possibility of debate. As far as Palomar College is concerned, gay and lesbian rights are not con-
To the Editor: Your idea of voting booths on satellite campuses is a good one. However, at present. there seems to be no cost-effective way to make this happen. When a voter comes to the voting booth on the main campus, the attendant running the booth crosses out the voter's name from the master list of students to ensure that the voter can vote only once. The voter is then given a scantron sheet to flll out and drop in the ballot box. The voter does not put his name on the scantron, because his vote must remain anonymous. If we were to install a voting booth on the satellite campuses, we would need to computerize and network the master list of students. Computerization of the list would be the only way to stop a voter from voting twice. We could give each campus a print out of a master list. then check for duplication at the end of the day, but this would be too late. The voter would have already dropped his second (or third, or fourth) vote in the box, and we wouldn't Dear Telescope Editor: know whose vote to remove since the I would appreciate the opportunity to scantrons have no names on them.

Now remember these statistics are for the men who are supposedly our friends. Armed with that knowledge, it is far easier to understand the depth of Ms. Schultz's anguish when she remarks, "Try as they might to sympathize with us, men will never fell the fear a woman feels or experience our sense of humiliation and feeling of exposure." For some time, feminists have asserted that rape is not. as the common mythology insists, a crime of victim provocation, uncontrollable biological urges or primarily and act of violence. Rather, rape is a direct expression of sexual politics_. a ritual enactment of male domination, a form of terror that functions to maintain status quo. At this time, a woman is raped every six minutes in this country. The only prophecy that should concern us is that this statistic will continue to rise every year. Sexual serial murder (what the FBI also terms "recreational murder'') is the ultimate expression of sexuality as a form of power. It is rooted in a system of male supremacy, in the same way that lynching is based on white supremacy. "Those of us who are so much influenced by violence in the media, in particular pornographic violence, are not some kind of inherent monsters. We are sons, and we are your husbands and we grew up in regular families." -Ted Bundy Laura Perrin Psychology Major

about cable? By Barbra Dijak Staff Writer
With all of the other problems facing our nation these days, why is government worried about cable television? Congress recentlyvetoeda bill which deals directly with giving cable television subscribers a choice of which cable company they, want to subscribe to. (In the past, people have not had a choice; they had their company chosen for them, according to their residence.) This bill will mean that instead of one cable company controling all of a certain area, other cable companies will be able to obtain clients from people who are out of their district. This is good news for some cable companies, but what guarantee do we have that this measure will actually reduce our rates? The bill will do only two things for subscribers. It may give them a choice in cable companies, but it may actually raise the monthly rates which we pay for cable installation and maintinence. It should also be mentioned that the costs for the "extra" channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.) will most likely increase. It seems as if most cable companies at least remotely affiliated, how hard would it be for them to coalesce to control the market? The most poignant point however is that our representatives are taking the time out to spend our tax dollars deliberating on this issue. Granted this was a strong act of unification for the senate to over-ride the president's veto but why couldn't they find a more suitable bill.
From 1977 to November of 1991, 117 abortion clinics were the targets of arson and bombing, 250 received bomb threats, 231 were invaded and 224 were vandilized. Randall Terry is the leader of Operation Rescue, a militant anti-abortion group. According to Terry Susan Faludi's article in Ms. magazine Nov. 1989 "Terry's opposition to birth control is comprehensive; he would like to eliminate not only abortion but all contraceptives." Terry says, "Ultimately my goal is to reform this culture... the arts, the media, the entertainment industries, medicine, the sciences, education- to return to right and wrong, a Judea-Christian base." Terry seems to have a firm grip on the situation. "Here is Satan's agenda,"says Terry "First he doesn't want anyone having kids. Secondly, if they do conceive, he wants them killed." Terry,who was brought up within a family of traditional feminists, apparantly underwent a dramatic transformation, his aunt Dawn Marvin remembers, "Something traumatic must have happened to Randy... [He] came home claiming he was Jesus Christ. locked himself in the bedroom for two days. Finally he came out and said he misinterpreted the message: he was a messenger of Jesus Christ" Whether Terry is a messenger or not it would seem as if he does not posses Jesus's refusal of violence. Supposedly in an Operation Rescue protest supervised by Terry in Bingham, New York, a protester punched a pregnant clinic worker in the stomach; she was taken to the hospital in an ambulan~ and supposedly miscarried several weeks later. W()Jllen who tried to escort patients into clinics during protests in California reported being karate-chopped in the knees and kicked in the stomach. Operation Rescue spokespeople say they don't condone violence but it is believed that in the "training" tapes Randall Terry distributes to his followers he suggests it may be necessary to "physically intervene with violence... with force," because "that is the logical response to murder. [And] abortion is murder." Someone should be so kind to mention to the protesters that if abortion is murder so is a miscarriage caused by a punch to the stomach. Terry liken's himself to Martin Luther King and picked up some strategy lessons from King; from King he gained the idea of going to a national level. There is an important point to be made however, King fought for people's rights, Terry fights to take them.

f t is the age of discovery, a time when noble knights defended the honor of a princess, swashbuckling swordsman fought to the death, a time of wanton wenches, deadly dragons and depraved knaves. She is a beautiful Duchess, known for her wonderful festivals and merry making. He is a handsome Dukesmitten by her beauty, bound to defeat the Black Knight for her honor.

The fair attracted Renaissance hobbyists, artisans and enthusiasts throughout Southern California. For the fencing duo Brian and Dana Thomas, alias "Rose and Rapier", the event was the answer to marital bliss. They agreed, "We may as well fight it out this way."

By Sandy Kraisirideja Staff Writer After their matinee performance in "Molly and Maze," comedian Lotus Weinstock and her daughter, actress Lili Haydn, relaxed in a quiet downtown cafe to talk about their play and perform a couple of songs for their friends. "Molly and Maze" is a twowoman play, written by Weinstock and Haydn, in which they both star. I tis their story, fleshed out for coherency and audience appeal. The flrst act, as Weinstock puts it, "deals with every issue that ever troubled us- put into one night" These issues include her insecurities related to being a single mother, death, awareness of self and coping with sexuality and separation. Thesecondact, which spans over the four-year period when Maze is at college, jumps back and forth between stand-up and drama. Many of the conversations, letters
and voice-messages used in the play actually happened, Weinstock said, and Haydn added that overall it is "emotionally autobiographical.." Weinstock wrote the play 10 years ago, motivated by the level of communication she shares with her daughter. Their relationship on and off the stage, indeed, seems more like the kind shared by best friends than mother and daughter. The fact that this story isn't based on a relationship that has to struggle for connection in order to fmd revelation was a disappointment Some ofWeinstock' s jokes, which I felt were aimed towards people in their 30s, were another disappointment. For Haydn, some of messages in the play have sensitized her to "ageism." She feels the prejudices towards age are best summarized in her mother's joke, "When a piece of furniture turns 50 it becomes a classic. I just want equal rights with the sofa"
When asked if doing the play with her mother was a rewarding experience for her, Haydn responded, "It has helped me feel more comfortable on stage and made me re-examine and shape my relationship with my mother on and off the stage." When it comes to their relationship, both of them agree it is an ongoing self-discovery, a continuous spiritual evolution. The theme of the play is about going through processes with grace, said Haydn. She has gained a·"beautiful model of how you can go through pr<r cesses with grace and poetry" by performing with her mother. Grace and poetry come to mind a couple hours later, as the melodic sounds of instruments drift hypnoticallyoutthedoor. Musicblends together, with Weinstock at the piano and Haydn with her violin, and I recall Weinstock's confirmation of their future: ''We'll keep triumphing."

Flatulence. Passing gas. Breaking Wind. No matter what you call it, everybody does it, and it stinks. But you can't do anything about it, it's just an inconvenience that everyone has to live with. Until now. In their book "It's a Gas: A Study of Flatulence," Eric S. Rabkin, Ph.D. and Eugene M. Silverman, M.D. tackle the subject in an informative yet entertaining way. Instead of bombarding their readers with statistics and boring remedies, they try to give the information gradually, mixed with jokes, puns, and interesting tangents.
This book has everything anyonecould ever want to know about farting - and then some. Along with helpful tips to decrease the potency and frequency of passing gas, "It's a Gas" also has a chapter devoted to how to say "fart" in over 40 languages, poetry about farting, and works of art depicting flatulence. Rabkin and Silverman explain that many people's gas problems are due to a condition known as lactase deficiency. This is when people cannot break down dairy products into simple sugars, which in turn causes it to go directly into the large intestine. This produces large amounts of hydrogen and carbon dioxide, thus causing gas.
Swallowing air, known as aerophagia. is another common causeofgas.RabkinandSilverman suggest burping and relaxation techniques to relieve this form of gas. Butmore serious problems could be misinterpreted as gas attacks. Heart and gall bladder problems are often confused with gas because both are often accompanied by pains in the chest. I would recommend this book to anyone who has chronic gas problems, but not to anyone else. While this book does serve its purpose of explaining ways to curb one's gas problem, it is a bit much. Did the worldreallyneed this book? How many people really need to see every work of art that shows a person breaking wind?

Jones has the horsepower to win at Del Mar By Sean Dean Sports Editor LastS unday the G1P IMSA cars returned to where thy turf meets the surf, the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
W~ter
Leading the charge around the roadcourse built at the fairgrounds wasToyotaEagledriverPJ.Jones. Jones, the eldest son of racing great Parnelli Jones, won the race in record time at an average speed of90.397 mph. Jones also set arec-
ord for number of total laps at 114. The victory was the second oftheseasonforJones, whowon at Portland earlier in the season. P.J.'s brother Page, won the Zerex Saab Pro Series race.
The Atlanta Braves return to the World Series in dramatic fashion after knocking off the Pittsburgh Pirates in seven games for the National League Pennant. Francisco Cabrera's two run single in the bottom of ninth in game seven lifted the Braves into the series. The Braves feature an excellant pitching staff that is led by 20game winner Tom Glavine. Young ace Steve Avery and NLCS MVP John Smolz are proven tough in post-season play. Look for third baseman Terry Pendleton and outfielders Dave Justice and Ron Gant to make their presence felt in the series. The Toronto Blue Jays are playing in their first World Series. The Blue Jays also have a very good pitching staff that features last year's World Series MVP Jack Morris and ex-Met David Cone. The 'Jays lineup is led by second baseman Roberto Alomar and outfielders Joe Carter and Dave Winfield. All three are ex-Padres.
polo outmatched by Griffins
By Martin O'Neil SportsWriter
The Palomar Comets men's Water Polo team dove into the water Oct 13 and promptly fizzled. The Grossmont Griffins proved to be to much for the seemingly overmatched Comets as the match was totally dominated, offensively and defensively, by the Griffins .who handed Palomar another defeat 19-6. Palomar could not get into any type of offensive rythmn, especially in the first two periods when
Palomar was held to two goals in the game, as Grossmont's tenacious defense stopped them cold. Bryan Sorenson, who scored four goals in Palomar's conference opener loss atSaddleback College, was the only player for the Comets who had any offensive success in the game as he tallied four more goals against the Griffins. The Griffms defense established themselves early in the first period bymakingtimelystealswhilekeeping the pressure on Palomar throughout the low scoring opening period. With the score of the game 2-1
Grossmont at the end of one period, the Griffins offense suddenly was unstoppable as they quickly took over the match by outscoring the Comets 6-1 in the second period. Palomar could not stop the offensive onslaught by the Griffms nor could they slow it down as Grossmont scored eight goals in the final two periods. Palomar will try to get into the win column as they next play on the road at Orange Coast College Fri. Oct 16. The Comets next home contest will be Tues. Oct.20 versus Rancho Santiago College.
