Faculty v to union By Joey Christensen Staff Writer
Palomar faculty members have overwhelmingly rejected the drive to unionize teaching staff. In ballots tallied Nov. 19, antiunion sentiment held sway with a landslide 2-to-1 vote. Those who spearheaded the campaign against unionizing faculty see the outcome as a vote of confidence for shared governance. "I'm very excited that collective bargaining has been defeated," said Joe Stanford, Associate Professor of Arts and 26-year veteran ofPalomar. "It shows that Palomar is unique in that we can work in a collegiate fashion without the adversarial approach of a union." Sixty-nine percent of the 1,194 full and part-timefaculty members eligible to vote returned their ballots making the final count 555 to 259. "I thought we had more support than that." said Mario Mendez, Associate Professor of Physical Education. Mendez headed the drive for Collective Bargaining.
"We tried to make our case in the best interest of the faculty, but they made their's better." Of the 106 community colleges in the state, only six are without union representation. Two of the six colleges are in North County, Palomar and Mira Costa College in Oceanside. Currently Palomar uses what is called a "meet and and confer" system to decide upon teachers' salary and fringe benefits. The system utilizes a series of recommendations from faculty committees in order to arrive at decisions on issues. All final decisions are made by the Palomar College Governing Board OfTrustees. Theodore Kilman, Associate Professor of Art. interpreted the vote as faculty wanting to maintain the present role of the Faculty Senate organization on campus, which uses the meet and confer system. This had been a three-year effort for Mendez and other union supporters who had fmally generated enough support to call for an election. Mendez says he has no plans to pursue the cause. "The faculty has spoken," he said.
New class teaches planet management By Cherlyn Wisdom Staff Writer
What do boiling frogs and humanshaveincommon? According to William Leslie, a philosophy instructor at Palomar, humans are suffering from the boiling frog syndrome. Leslie, along with two other Palomar faculty members, will be putting the boiling frog syndromeintoauniversal context in "Global Concerns," a new class they are team teaching this spring. When one puts a frog in boiling water, it will jump right out because the water is too hot But if the same frog is placed in cold water and the heat is gradually turned up, the frog will boil and die. "Humans are sort of like that." Leslie said. "As long as the degradation of the environment is very gradual, we adjust and learn to live with it H we continue, we will be like the frogs." Leslie along with Gene Sager, instructor for religious studies and another teacher for the class, LearningCommunity105,bothagreethat
the environmental crisis is the most serious crisis facing our world today. They decided to start a class to educate people on the problem. Teaching the class with them will be speech teacher Dr. Kris Stonebreaker. "We offer classes in hotel management. why not planet management?" asked Leslie. LC 105 will focus on issues such as family and population management, land use and diet, energy use and technology pollution and the ozone layer, according to Sager and Leslie. "We want people to become part of the solution, because if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem." LC 105 will meet from 8 am.12:20p.m.onTuesdaysandThursdays for a total of nine units. LC 105 will take the place of three classes; either Philosophy 100 or 101, and either Religious Studies 101 or 105,andSpeechCommunication 100 for general education requirements. "When you register for classes, sign up for LC 105 as well as one class in each of the three categories because those classes are what appear on your transcripts, not LC 105," said Sager.

NEWS Food for fines By Scott Gojkovich Staff Writer
In keeping with the holiday spirt that it is better to give than reCeive, the Palomar College library has developed a new program "food for fines." Up until Dec. 16, any student having a fine with the library may delete it from their records by donating a non-perishable food item. Each year between the months of November and December, the library provides amnesty for those students having overdue fines. This program is aimed at giving something to lowincome students who attend Palomar and at the same time, ensuring library materials are returned. According to Public Services Librarian Alexis Ciurczak, her main purpose is getting materials returned to the library so they are ready to be used next semester. "Evenifthey(students)don'thave fmes, they can still donate food," she added. Food collected at the library and at other sites on campus, goes to help fellow students, according to Claudette Ellis, senior secretary at
EOPS. Ellis added that the food bank items are available to Palomar students through the EOPS pantry. In order to be eligible to receive food, a student must demonstrate a need for it by either asking for aid, or having a counselor put in a referral for them. The "food for fines" concept . started with a four-year run at Chestatee Regional Library in Georgia, which proved to be highly successful, according to Cuirczak. When the program was developed in 1989, the organization received 12 boxes of food by the completion of its two week run. By the end of 1991, the program was receiving 12 boxes a week, she said. Anyone wanting totakeadvantageof this program is asked to bring their library materials and food items to the library , where one box is located on each floor. Students wanting to donate food only, and who do not need library fmes waived, may also visit the Escondido Educational Center as well as the main campus. Students needing assistance from EOPS are asked to contact the EOPS office in the TCA building between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Lois Wunderley, Associate Professor of Behavioral Science
New women's views taught By Joey Christensen Staff Writer Subjects ranging from women in politics to issues in lesbian relationships are among topics discussed in the lecture series "New Views On Women." Lois Wunderley, Associate Professor of Behavioral Science, teaches the class and coordinates the speakers. "This forum allows us to bring people from other academic agencies as well as Palomar to speak," said Wunderley. "We are free to include just about
any topic, it provides a great deal of flexibility." Because the theme is "new" views on women the topics and speakers vary from one semester to the next. Wunderley said the course is not only only for women. "The people range in age from 18 to 50 and there are men, women, gays, lesbians and bisexuals who have attended," said Wonderly. Wunderley has been teaching women's studies courses since 1973. "In my experience, whether they are male or female, these classes touch people and make a
difference." " 'New views on women' provide students, faculty and staff an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences," she said "and our class can become quite heated at times." "The course has been very successful," Wunderley said."I had a student call me over the weekend to tell me how much she appreciated the lecture." According to student Lupe L. Martinez, "I wanted the class to open my mind to what is going on in the world. I'm getting exactly what I wanted."

By Arnetta Hilton ContribuJing Writer "It's a girl, Ann ... It's a girl." Those words still make me smile. They're the exact words I heard myhusbandsayayearearlierwhen my daughter was born. Now, I was hearing them from one of my best friends, Angel Torres. She had been my closest friend before high school. Then we went to different schools. We drifted apart but we still kept in touch. Angel was one of those artsy types. In fact, the differences between us made me wonder how we could befriends at all. Her makeup was always flawless. Mine was always still at the store. She was tall and thin with a beautiful olive complexion. Her long black hair always fell in little cork screws around her face. She was exotic looking. Ialwaysenviedher. lean remember praying and asking God to make me Hispanic (like Angel). Of course I was old enough to
know better but at least I gave it a shot Our similarities are what brought us together. We both loved school, food, and John Travolta. We both had the same sense of humor. I'd never been so comfortable with anyone else as I was with her. It was Oct. 29, 1986 when Nicole was born. She was beautiful. The frrst time I held her was so wonderful. I was in love all over again. Unfortunately, I had to leave soon after the birth. I was living in J unction City, Kanas at the time and my visit to Chicago was almost over. But Angel and I kept in touch with the occasional phone call and by writing letters. A little more than a year after Nicolewasborn,Angelcalled. Her voice sounded strange to me, as if there was something she wanted to say, but didn't want to say. After about twenty minutes of questioning, I finally got it out of her. "AIDS ... I have AIDS." There was a long silence. I knew it was
my tum to speak but nothing would come out. The words hit me. Thoughts seemed to scramble around in my mind. Was she kidding? Who would kid about a thing like this? How could this happen? She must've understood my silence because she continued. Softly, she began speaking and as the story came out, I felt the shock melt away until I was faced with this hard, bitter reality. I stood there listening, hoping that things would be alright and that somebody was wrong. I wanted to be able to say something but holding myself together was a major struggle. ''Nicole is HIV positive," she said and suddenly, there was nothing holding me back. The tears seemed to come from nowhere. I think Angel started crying too, but I'm not sure. I threw the phone down and ran to my room. It was about3p.m.Ididn'tcomebackout until noon the next day.

Nurse shows empathy to students AIDS By Patty Lane ContribuJing Writer There is a paranoia associated with getting tested for HIV. But students at Palomar's Student Health Services are greeted by a quiet voice and an attentive attitude. Nurse Karen Pendergast's caring demeanor shows shedoesn 't look at a person as a statistic. "I try to get to know them ... getting to know them makes them more relaxed," she says. One fear is waiting for the results, generally which takes about two weeks. Pendergast said she coun-
sels students coming in for the result Many students get tested regularly, and according to Pendergast the frrst test is the worst "After a negative one it is a little easier," she said. Part of the education and testing Palomar students receive includes a verbal questionnaire, which is targeted toward supplying the state with statistics on who is at risk while determining which type of education needs to be implemented more aggressively. Pendergast said she lets the students know things they should
change to prevent AIDS, but feels it is also important to to focus on good habits students are bringing into their lives. She said many women are becoming infected with HIV whose only risk factor was "having sex with the opposite sex." Women don't feel "empowered enough to tell their partners they need to get tested or that they need to use a condom." Pendergast provides information on resources for help, support and early treatment. She also provides students with a24-houremergency phone number and will make time to see a student who has questions.

ASG prepares for 1993 New officers sworn in and start work By Roger Fregoso Staff Writer
For the first time this semester, the Associated Student Government is working at full force with 10 senators, a new treasurer, and three new vice president positions. The new vice presidential seats which students voted to add in September were organized and ftlled Nov. 11. Denny Ngo was voted into the Executive Vice President seat, Elizabeth O'Daly was promoted to Vice President of State Mfairs and
Robert Jenkins was named as Vice President of Social Mfairs. After the resignation ofASG Treasurer Sarah Garcia Oct 21, Gabriel Watson was promoted to ftl1 that seat. He is working on establishing a budget and finance committee. Three seats were opened to fill the vacancies. They were ftlled by secret ballot after six students were nominated. Jon Bazan was elected because he wants "to be part of the ASG to represent the invisible members of the college on campus." Being openly gay, he believes he can represent gay and lesbians.
After three unsuccessful tries, Shawn Gill was voted in as well. He believes he can help on the panel because "I have good organizational skills and I'm familiar with the procedures for ASG and it's members." According to Gill, the cultural diversity on campus "needs work." Sue Martin, a single parent, told the panel that she was "concerned with women's issues." She said she will help on ASG because "I'm good with negotiating and compromising." Martin also feels "that there is too much restraint on allowing clubs to have fundraisers."

A team of Palomar fire fighters literally brought down the house Nov. 21 during a pre-graduation practice burn in Vista. Curious residents watched as the "Scorching Seven," a group of30 recruits forming Palomar's 7th Basic Fire Academy, conducted search and rescue drills and battled a house fire on Stoneridge Road. According to Marc Revere, coordinator for the Palomar Fire Academy, the burn was the final stage in the flre fighters' 12-hour day, 6days-per-week program.

The house, which was to be tom down, was donated by the owner as a way to save on demolition costs, he said. ''This is their final," said onlooker Nancy Revere. According to fire fighter Troy Callaway, the burn was an essential part of his training. "Most people here have never gone into a (burning) house," he said. 'This is a good way to get hands-on experience." Callaway, a ranger, plans to add paramedic training while working for a volunteer fire department in the future.The recruits graduated Nov. 25.

Speaker stresses cultural awareness By Jacques Domercq Opinion Editor Is looking away from an aggressor a gesture of deference or challenge? In Japan it would be deference but to a Middle Eastern culture it would be quite insulting. The problem that occurs is a miscommunication of cultural etiquette. And in continuity with the theme of cultural awareness that has been promoted this year at Palomar, a seminar was sponsored by the ASG for about 20 members of various Inter-Club Council clubs. Joanne Laviolette, a special programs co-
ordinator, organized the seminar to fit in a curriculum of cultural awareness directed towards the club's members although everyone was welcome. Seminar speaker Selma Myers pointed out the differences that separate us all. This, as she explained, is the first step to take in order to bring two different cultures to an understanding with each other. Myers is affiliated with the Salk Institute where she works with the Affirmative action program. Myers made the point that the work-force in California in 10 years will be drarnaticall y different from what it is today.
In the '70s the immigration patterns entering the United States changed said Myers. Before 1970, 90 percent of the immigrants were European. The Immigration and Naturalization Service statistics for 1988 show that 4 3 percent of immigrants are from Latin America and 41 percent are from Asia. Myers says the key word is dealing with diversity. "If you don't respect people you can't deal with them constructively," says Myers. "Everyone tells 'them' to change, it is 'us' who must change". She brought up the fact that concepts deal-
ing with diversity are different now than they have been in the past Previously, there were three criteria. race, culture and gender,saysMyers.Nowthathasexpanded to age, physical abilities, ethnicity, sexual preference. One of the main points Myers made is that now more than ever is a time of re-evaluation of how people perceive others. She encourages people to acknowledge their differences then to fmd things in common. They can work towards a common goal. "When we get to where we want to be," says Myers, "we accept every person as an individual."
Barrett teaches justice By Cherlyn Wisdom Staff Writer For Lieutenant Kevin Barrett, moving to San Diego was "a dream come true," after retiring from the New York Police Department in Larchmont after 21 years. Barrett retired in August to start a second career and pursue his love of teaching at Palomar College. He chose Southern California because he likes the sunshine and tanning on the beach. Barrett is teaching Introduction to Criminal Justice, Criminal Evidence, and Police Community Relations this semester. His students will benefit from his wide range of experience in the police force. He believes in a well-rounded view of each topic. He relates real life and how it is being a police officer in conjunction with the textbook. He also likes to keep up on current events in relation to criminal justice. Barrett said he likes to have a lot of class involvement He said he really 'enjoys' his students. "I love working with the students.
I find them very motivated. It's a real pleasure getting to learn from them as much as they learn from me," he said. Barrett has a started a new Criminal Justice Club on campus. The first meeting was held on Oct 27. The club "promises to be successful," Barrett said. "140 people have expressed their interest and so far there has been 45 applications turned in." Officers for the club have already been selected: President Michael Stauffere; Vice President Dan Fitzgerald; Secretary-Treasurer Phil Becker and Trustees are Denise Larson and Kevin Farrar. The club is open for any students interested in going into law enforcement or just wanting to learn more about it The club will meet once a month and feature different speakers specializing in various fields such as canine units or gangs. Barrett said he wants students to witness demonstrations so they can get some hands on experience. He also plans to take field trips during the ·year.

OPEN FORUM Being homosexual in the military To President-Elect Bill Clinton P.O. Box615 Little Rock, Ak. 72203 Listening to your campaign, and most especially watching the Democratic Convention, I, for the first time, felt real hope that at last my service to my country would be honorably remembered. At this time my service is remembered with disgrace through no fault of my own. It is remembered with disgrace because I am gay. I entered the Army National Guard when I was still in high school, at the age of 17. I was in an armored infantry unit, and I would often spend weeks at a time buttoned up in a tank, out in the middle of the desert Believe me, the issue never came up. There was never any time to think about it, the mission always came first My patriotism was never in question, nor was my ability to serve. I was a United States soldier. I carried out my duties with pride, and I am disgusted
when anyone suggests that I looked upon my fellow soldiers with anything less than respect. I was able to transfer into the active duty Air Force, and spent another two years performing in a maintenance squadron both here and in Europe. It was in England that I fell in love with another man who was also stationed on the base. The love didn't harm me, it was the most natural thing I had ever experienced, it was the guilt that destroyed me. I felt guilty because I knew I was breaking military regulations. I had never lied before, and I always wished to follow the rules to the best of my ability, but how could I follow this rule? I tried, by God I tried, but living the lie proved to much for me, and I was summarily discharged under article 3910, psychologically incompatible for military service. My discharge was honorable, but I felt my service was a disgrace. Why should any veteran who answered his countries call, and performed his service dutifully feel ashamed? Why should anyone
raised to tell the truth be forced to constantly lie, even to his own country? I was devastated. Finally coming to grips with my sexuality, and being discharged because of it, were enough to send me into denial and depression for over two years. I have now pulled my life together, and I have realized that the fault was not my own, it was a homophobic policy that placed an unfair standard on me. If I had received compassion and understanding, so that I could have accepted who I am instead of being forced to lie about it I could have continued to render the service to which I had been trained. In the end it was the taxpayer that lost, for all the money that was spent on my training was lost because of an outdated policy that never made any sense. I am hopeful that you will end this policy that forced me to lie. Let me tell the truth, and let me and my family remember my service as an honorable one. Sincerely, Donald P. Scott History

Center in Pasadena Palomar students have been routinely accepted by that prestigious institute of art. Palomar College has yet to legitimize its own; students and faculty must go to other locations to exhibit their work. The last three student-faculty photo exhibits have been held in downtown Escondido. One of our own faculty has been invited by Grossmont College to show his recent works at their art gallery. Palomar has not recognized faculty or student photography and the Boehm Gallery on campus has turned down any chance of an on-campus exhibition in the foreseeable future. This is an artistic discrimination by the very people we rely on to encourage student participation and recognition of their talents. Jack lskin Photography

A message to The Other Voice To the Editor and Staff: I normally do not correspond with individuals that choose to remain anonymous so that they can publish irresponsible, unsubstantiated articles. However, students might have read the article in your paper about athletes allegedly involved in sexual harassment and might have questions. I urge you to inform students that they can find the Palomar College Sexual Harassment Policy in the Student Handbook and in brochures on magazine racks throughout the campus. It is also available in the Comet Center, and in the Student Activities Office. For your information, Palomar College will not punish or discipline students based on anonymous accusations, innuendo, or insinuations. Sincerely. James T. Bowen Director of Student Activities
Are those curbs necessary? To the Editor: Let me be the first to appropriately thank the benevolent Palomar District Board of Directors for their wise decision to install curbs in the student parking lot. Rather than waste what little funds they seem able to obtain on important projects such as educational supplies (including teachers, additional classes, and related materials such as a simple chair to sit on in a chemistry lab) they instead made the parking lot a top priority. I cannot deduce an adequate reasoning for their efforts other than to once again display poor judgement, particularly in times of such economic difficulty. I can only hope that the $4 per unit increase so eagerly passed was not the means for this (or other) inappropriate budgeting. Sincerely Jennifer Cornish Biology

Out of the inkwell Greed is stronger than steel By Steve Troop
liE. RIGHf' Jf.El The key word is responsibility By Jacques Domercq
Opinion Editor
Recently two Palomar College football players who may have been driving drunk were killed. The pickup truck they were in was going the wrong way down I-15 and collided with a van. This is not the first time Palomar students have driven drunk. I am sure it will not be the last but what does this tell us about where we are and what this society values and neglects?
It seems ironic that the crash that killed two people besides the Palomar students occured during red ribbon week. The point should be made that the overall message this society conveys is one that condones and even encourages irresponsibility. From what we buy to how we make money to how we have sex, this society refuses to be responsible for what it produces. Just take a look at the environment. If we as human being want to survive the next twenty years, something most of us surely want to do, then we must take respon-
Managing Editor Death means the end of everything. Or at least in real life. Fiction on the other hand has a whole new meaning of the word.
It is not only the drunk driver's fault but our fault that he killed the other three people involved in the accident It is not only the big corporations and our governments fault that our Earth is in the dangerous state it is in but everyone's responsibility. The first thing we must do if we want to change the way things go on around here is to stand up and take responsibility. It is our fault
It's finally over; but was it worth it? By Amelia Bowles
Contributing Writer 'Tis the season to be jolly, especially for the love gender and sex class. We're about done. In the beginning of this semester we were tired, broke and confused. Now, we are still tired and broke but not confused anymore. We've seen several films that were not your normal Saturday afternoon flicks. No popcorn here folks, these films made you think. That's right, think. Think why you took this class in the first place. Films about the quest to make the best Ramen noodle, or having the best nervous breakdown, or what it was like to be homeless and then marry the richest guy known to man. Strange. We even learned the right way to put on a condom, just in case we would need to use one. We learned the ins and outs of morality, relationships and communication. We read, wrote, argued, debated and learned. Was it worth all the hassle, all the time, all the money? Yes.
We've become a family and because of this class we will all view the world in a better way. We are all different, yet we are all the sam eo
This has been the case for years. Spock died in "Star Trek II," only to be resurrected one movie later. Obi Wan Kenobi died in "Star Wars," but Sir Alec Guiness, the actor that portrayed him, played our favorite Jedi even from the great beyond. Now, even Superman is getting into the act.
sibility for not only our actions but those of others.
I strongly urge all students to take one of thelearningcommunitycenter'sclassesnext semester. It is a unique way to learn and for some of us going back to a regular lecture class will not be the same. We always knew what was coming up next as we were given a class schedule for the entire semester. No hidden papers due from an English professor at the same time of a major math test Then again, no excuses as to not having your homework done either. The class is essentially over. No finals and that killer research paper is done. We've even planned a four-day retreat to recover from all the stress. We've become a family and because of this class we will all view the world in a better way. We are all different, yet we are all the same. Male and female, persons of color and non-color, gay or straight, brown-eyed or blue-eyed, we are all human. I think now, after taking this class, myself and my fellow classmates will go out into this world not just different, hutto make a difference. Happy holidays!
Detective comics (also known as D.C. Comics), has killed off the Man of Steel in this month's Superman comic. Now, it's been a long time, but wasn't Superman pretty darn near invincible? You could pound him all day with any number of weapons and, provldfng there wasn't any Kryptonite, it wouldn 'teven phase our hero. But now, so it seems, Superman is mortal. Why would D.C. do this? The answer is simple: greed. Already, within a week of being put out on the newsstands, the comic is selling out. With this revelation, Superman's recent death suddenly has a reason. Kill off the famous Kryptonian to fill D,C.'s pockets with money. What'smore,D.C.hasalreadyannounced that Superman's death is only temporary. After this story arc is completed (in about a year) Superman will be brought back to life somehow. Like Spock and Obi Wan, Superman will return from the grave in another moneymaking bonanza for D.C. Now, I'm all forentertainmentanddrama, but this growing misconception about death is becoming dangerous. After all, what does this tell our nation's youth about death? That it's only temporary. In this world of gangs and violence do we really need this message adding to the problem? I don't think so. But what do I know? I'm just a cartoonist

There'saclassoncampusin which throwing, pinching and coiling are expected behaviors. Students are encouraged to demonstrate their mastery of these skills. Palomar art instructor Garry Cohen creates the right atmosphere for learning these elements of design in his Ceramics I class. "I give my students success through communication and camaraderie," he said. "Students must be inventive and follow through with their ideas," said Cohen. Student Lynn Dolan said that "he helps you with design while pushing you totrynewthings." Cohen "helps me get out of a
trouble spot, but he never overcontrols. He lets me express myself," according to student Mayumi Komi. In addition, Komi said the experience is one in which she "feels very comfortable in the class because the people are very friendly and they help each other." Communication is very important to Cohen. Through one-onone discussions and group critiques, he is able to help students understand why their pieces work or if their foundations are weak. Students are comfortable with critiques of their work. "It's a learning experience," said Jill Stier, a student in Cohen's class. "Garry works with you, helps you see where you need to go with
your work. He's in tune with each individual's creative energy." Not all students in Ceramics I are art majors. Maria Padilla wants to teach disabled students and seniors. For her the experience "made me able to help others fmd their potential," she said. Carrie Lawrence, a geology major, is taking the class as a break from her core classes. "It's a great stress reliever and a creative outlet," she explained. Komi is taking the class to further studies she began in Japan. While their goals are different, Cohen expects all students to demonstrate an understanding of the basic fundamentals of hand building in clay and to be able to demonstrate techniques.

Well, Bela Lugosi bit the dust and Francis Ford Coppola did it again, the creation of another outstanding film. It is Bram Stoker's work but now it has Coppola's cinematic magic. Coppola made this film annotated, almost verbatim to the book. Almost all of the main characters have narration which gives you a more personal, peeking- through- a- keyhole effect. Gary Oldman slithers through the screen and into your mind as he plays Vlad Drac, Nosferatu -Dracula. Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi pale by comparison to Oldman's suave hypnotic attributes. Winona Ryder plays Mina, the interest of Dracula's passion. Whether it's her poor English accent or her unattractive look, she was personna non grata. If it wasn't for the outstanding performances of Oldman and Anthony Hopkins (Van HeIsing) carrying her from scene to scene she would have blown the film.

By Lynn Brickman Staff Writer "Five, six, seven, eight, tour -jete, tour-jete, slide, slide, slide and once again" is heard during the rehearsals for the December performance at Palomar of"Peter and theW olf' and the North Pole Follies II. Before one group has cleared the floor, Hansen calls out another and rehearsal continues. "Dancing is hard work,"says Tom Hansen, adjunct faculty instructor of dance at Palomar. Topreparefortheperformance, dancers age seven to 70 rehearse for many hours perfecting even the slightest hand movement There are no refusals to repeat and repeat or pleas to stop, just the sound of the dancers' feet as they slide across the floor. Hansen explained that "ballet is the backbone of dance." For the performers, Hansen is definitely the backbone of this year's all dance Christmas performance. At rehearsals he demonstrates subtle turns and steps, gives advice to seasoned dancers and encourages the youngest beginners. If as Hansen says, "It takes dedication to be a dancer," he has lived by this credo. Hansen's list of accomplishments with dance begins at

Radio City Music Hall with the Rockettes to live television productions for the Red Skelton Show, Frank Sinatra, Disney and Bally's in Las Vegas. This dedication brought Hansen to Palomar where he "provides a chance (for students) to perform, to do all kinds of dancing." The opportunity to have this experience and to be graceful interpreters of story through dance has been given to 50 students this year. Under the guidance of Hansen and co-producer Currie Pederson, dancers seem to cavort
effortlessly through numerous intricate steps and turns in Follies II. The choreography in "Peter and the Wolf'creates such realism that the bird seems to fly, the cat to scamper and the wolf to threaten. "The goal of the Christmas performance is to provide wholesome entertainment that has a happy ending," said Hansen. On Dec. 11, 12 and 13, audiences will see the results of all the rehearsal hours come to life in full costume and staging and find out for themselves if this season's performance does have a 'happy ending'.

LIFESTYLE Music teacher encourages students to hit a high note By Lynn Brickman Staf!Writer
B.uy Hawkins considers himself a ver-
satile person. He's as conifortable playing jazz before . a loud, partying audience at Dick's Last Resort or conducting a somber Bach peifonnance at the Old Mission San Luis Rey as lecturing on the technical aspects of music. Whatever the challenge, this associate professor is true- to- style and considers himself the right person for that situation. There is hardly a moment in the day that Hawkins is not involved with music. In his Brass Ensemble class, Hawkins works with 15 dedicated trumpet, trombone, tuba and French hom musicians. Two musicians in the Ensemble, Terence Cooper and Mason Hartman, share Hawkins 'love and involvement with music. Each enjoys music for the same reason as Hawkins: it elevates their spirits. Hawkins' philosophy is to help "students perform and sound better... to make practical application" of what they learn. He encourages students to be versatile and to give themselves a chance to make a living. "You can be extremely good at one thing and hope the phone rings or you can be good at several things and earn a living," Hawkins said. Cooper has chosen a career in
music but heeds Hawkins' advice. Originally wanting to become a band director, Cooper said he now understands the importance of being versatile. As co-director of Palomar's Spectrum Jazz Singers, his love of singing, originality and enthusiasm energizes the group and puts spark in their performance. While he considers himself a better singer than hom blower, Cooper's talent is enjoyed by all who visit Sea World. For the past three years, he has been writing music, choreographing performancesanddirectingtheSea World Beach Band. Cooper says that the position gives him the opportunity to express himself in a way that will make people happy. This talented student was awarded the Jazz-ByThe-Way scholarship in 1992. BeingamusicianforCoopermeans "a lot of hard work, but the reward is sweet, a real sense of accomplishment" Therewardofpracticefortrumpeter Mason Hartman allows him to be more creative. "Music stimulates me intellectually," said Hartman. "It makes me think." Hartman chose a career in music over track and field because music"soundedbeautifuland(music) can do a lot for me in life." Hartman sees his path in music leading to a position with a national symphony. To gain experience, he is a member of the San Diego Youth Symphony, the Palomar Community Orchestra and the Brass Ensemble. He hopes to continue his studies at Juliard or the New England Conservatory and he is not discouraged by the hard work ahead of him. Hawkins can understand the determination of these and other

"You have to have natural ability and practice diligently, but what music has over sports is that even though everyone is pulling for the team some sit on the bench the entire game ... in a concert all are performing from the worst to the very best." Hawkins takes his teaching as seriously as his playing. He feels it's his obligation to provide his studentswiththeappropriatelearning environment and encouragement He identifies two types of students; the serious musician who has a possibility of making a career in music and the non-music major. He doesn't glamorize music for the music major. He's open and direct about how difficult and competitive the music field is today. From personal experience he knows how many really great musicians are out there. "I feel a burden in my heart
when people are not well motivated," Hawkins said. "They may makeitthroughmyclass,butwon't make it later on." He tries to make them aware of the road ahead. For these students, Hawkins'
'You can be extremely good at one thing and hope the phone nngs or you can be good at several things and earn a liVing., Billy Hawkins Associate Professor theory class is purely academic. It's a highly technical course designed to teach the inner workings of music- what makes it tick. It's scales, fundamentals and history, "the non-fun things," as Hawkins calls them. On the flip side, Hawkins teaches a course called Music for
the Elementary Teacher. Students in this class are not music majors, so he tries to make the course as much fun as he possibly can. He wants these future teachers, who he feels have the added burden of teaching music, to "enjoy music so much they will want to teach it" Hawkins feels that "if youdon't give music to kids you're taking something away from them." He also believes that music is so emotionally uplifting that it can help change a child's attitude and make the learning process so much easier no matter what is being taught. Hawkins sees his path clearly. He has experienced the joy, the frustration, the set-backs and the success of a career in music. Hawkins knows there is definitely a change in music today when one keyboard can replace an entire band, and audiences that demand technology and the glarnour and excitement of smoke and mirrors. â&#x20AC;˘ If you're going to be a musician today, Hawkins said, "you have to do it whether you get paid or not; (you) do it because you love it so much."

Contributing Writer and Sean Dean
Sports Editor The Palomar College football team will play Mt San Antonio College this Saturday night in the Simple Green-Orange County Bowl at Orange Coast College. The Comets fmished the regular season with a 9-1 record and won their fourth straight division title. Palomar goes into the match-up with Mt. SAC ranked eight in the nation by the JC Grid-Wire, while Mt. SAC (8-2) has spent most of the season ranked in the top twenty
in the nation. The Comets and MtSAC are both highly ranked in the state. The Comets, though, will not get the opportunity to defend their state title from a year ago. The state title game this year will be between Saddleback College, number one in the nation, and San Francisco City College, ranked number two in the state. The Gauchos will take on San Francisco City at Orange Coast in a matinee game for the title at 1 PM., followed by the Palomar-Mt.SAC game at 7 PM. Palomar will be led by quarterback Tom Luginbill, who was named Mission Conference, Southern Division offensive player of the year. Luginbill, who leads the nation in
passing with 3,086 yards and a 308.6 yards a game average, will have plenty of targets to· go to in the bowl game. WidereceiversJohnLivingstonand Andrea! Climon have both come up with some big catches this season, and watch out for Michael Anderson. Runnings Tony Burton (1046 yds., 18 TD' s) and Markeith Ross (825 yds., 10 TD's will get their share of carries. The defense for Palomar, the heart and soul of this team, will be led by lineman Bill Aviu and All-American stand-out linebacker Andy Buh. The Comets' 'Red Tide' defense should make the day a long one for the Mt. SAC quarterback. "We will be ready for them," said Comet lineman Chad Minshew.

Palomar led by Jenkins and Trejo in '92 This was a sports year to remember
By Christopher C. Holmes Sports Writer
By Martin O'Neil Sports Writer Well here we are in December about to wrap up ' another exciting sports year. While sports off the field has made big news during the year, Mike Tyson Trial, Marge Schott controversy etc, there were many exciting moments on the field as well. =~___:.::c_.,.,,_.:__J Here are the five most exciting moments of 1992. 5. 1992 NCAA Tournament: Kentucky vs. Duke With Kentucky up 108-107 after Sean Woods hit a running one hand shot with 2.1 seconds left, Duke forward Christian Laettner received a 70 foot inbounds pass, turned, and let fly with a 15 foot jumper with three Wildcat players in his face and made the shot. An offensive shootout, arguably one of the greatest college basketball games of all time. 4. Agassi wins Wimbledon. The flashy Las Vegan was labeled as a choker, he could not win the grand slam events especially Wimbledon with grass being his worst surface. But he defied the odds by beating three excellent grass court players Boris Becker, John McEnroe and Goran lvanisevic in a thrilling five set final. 3. Pittsburgh repeats as NHL champions. O.K. maybe it wasn't exciting to see the Penguins roll through the playoffs and sweep the Chicago Blackhawks in the finals, but you have to be impressed with the team. Kevin Stevens, Jaromir Jagr, and league MVP Mario Lemieux led the charge as the Penguins proved their dominance to the rest of the league. 2. Holyfield v. Bowe Rd. 10 for the Heavyweight Championship During the round, Bowe hammered Holyfield with a right uppercut and followed it up with a few shots to the head, knocking Holyfield down. However, the warrior Holyfield is, he came back throwing bombs that landed in Bowe's face and had Bowe in some trouble. The two squared off against one another the whole three minutes of round 10 making it the best round in boxing this year. 1. 1992 NLCS: Cabrera's hit sends Braves to World Series. What makes this moment great is that Francisco Cabrera had only 14 at bats all season. But with the Braves trailing the Pirates 2-1 in the ninth inning, Cabrera was down to his last strike but came up big with a single to left field scoring Deion Sanders and Sid Bream thus propelling the Braves to the World Series and sending the Pittsburgh Pirates home. 1

By Christopher C. Holmes Sports Writer December has arrived and that means one thing, the college basketball season is upon us. Unlike years past, there is nota clear cut favorite to walk away with the NCAA title. Michigan is number one to start the season but they have already shown their youth by barely edging out a fairly weak Rice team. If the Wolverines falter, teams such as Indiana, Seton Hall, Kansas and North Carolina are all ready to vault to the top. This year's surprise will be the University of California at Berkeley. Led by freshman sensation Jason Kidd, the Bears should surprise more than a few teams this year in the Pac-10. When all is said and done though, and the sounds of March Madness are but an echo in the minds of basketball fanatics, Kentucky led by Jamal 'the monster mash' Mashburn will reign supreme as kings of the NCAA court.

The Comets' Trina Trejo (9) goes for the big hit.
Get Your
The Palomar College women's volleyball team saw its season come to an end on Tuesday, Nov. 24, as they fell to Orange Coast College 15-8, 1315, 15-4, and 16-14 in the first round of the Southern California Regional play-offs. The Comets were led by the spectacular play of sophomore outside hitter Trina Trejo. Trejo had her strongest outing of the season, fmishing with 19 kills and six aces. Two of those aces helped close out the second game for the Comets. "Trina single-handedly won that second game for us," said Palomar Coach Teri McFarland. The Comets, seeded ninth going into the tournament, fmished the season 10-8 overall and third in conference (5-7). Trejo was named to the all conference team along with fellow sophomore Alisa Jenkins. Jenkins finished second on the team in kills (170) behind Trejo (179) and was the Comets' most consistent player throughout the entire season. "AJ. (Jenkins) wasourbestplayer. She played well the whole season," said McFarland. McFarland had high expectations for this years team going into this season but injuries and inconsistency proved to be too much for the Comets to overcome. Palomar started the se.ason strong with victories over Long Beach City College and Southwestern. The Comets seemed primed to upset Grossmont College and gain control of the Pacific Coast Conference. Fate was not in their favor though as they fell to the Griffms in five sets. McFarland's troops never seemed to recover from that point on. "We did not have enough people step up when we needed them to," said McFarland." We were a very young team." That youth should work in McFarland's favor as she begins to prepare for next season. J ayme Bardeen, Tricia Muller, Laura Kirk and Jenna Hekel all return to the Palomar lineup in '93. The Comets also will add redshirt Renee Hanson to next years squad. Hanson was an all conference middle blocker at Mira Costa College last year. "We're looking forward to a very strong season next year," said McFarland.

"I expected to pay a lot more than $35 a month for a new Macintosh Ilsi and a printer."
Jennifer Minaya Nursing Jlajor
Jennifer obtained an Apple Computer Loan· that allowed her to buy her Apple· Macintosh ' IIsi and an Apple Personal LaserWriter LS printer. She knew that owning a powerful Macintosh computer for her full course load and her work as a doctor's assistant was a smart thing to do. And the Apple Computer Loan was the smart way to do it: easy application, fast turnaround and low, flexible payment terms. So Jennifer went to the only place that offers the Apple Computer Loan, her Apple Campus Reseller.
