Blood drive protested by Undefeated Club By Christine Doan

Staff Writer During the March 2 Inter-Club Council meeting, Karma Rios, a representative of the Undefeated Club, announced the club's protest of the annual Palomar Blood Drive on grounds of discrimination. The non-profit San Diego Blood Bank has come to Palomar's campus for blood donations for at least five years. A small budget and limited space make it difficult for them to accomodate handicapped people. "I don't want to make a big stink about it," said Dee Rodriquez, E.O.P.S. facilitator

and Undefeated Club adviser. "I think it can be worked out," she added. The club disagreed with the fact that the blood drive served as a fundraising competition for clubs. The club with the most donors received a cash prize. Oose to 60 percent of the Undefeated Club's members are handicapped, so they were ineligible to compete due to the lack of proper facilities. .Rodriguez said she wonders why the I.C.C. would have a contest like this if they wanted fairness for everyone. Lori Vaughan, a registered nurse who helped out with the blood drive, explained why they are not "handicap-friendly."

''We are not discriminating the handicapped, we just don't want to compromise their safety,"Vaughan said. The tables upon which donors lie are unstable and shaky. Ifa handicapped person should fall off there would be risk of a liability charge. There are no specialized recliner chairs that enable wheelchair users to donate blood. These special chairs are costly and heavy. The Blood Bank works with a restricted budget that relies mostly on contributions. Even if they could afford the approximately 100-pound apparatuses, there wouldn't be any room for them in the cafeteria

"It's just not practical since there aren't enough wheelchair donors," Vaughan said. '"They can't donate on our bases, but we do have blood centers around the area" Two North County centers do have the special chairs to accomodate wheelchair donors. Rodriquez felt that if there were enough wheelchair donors, the Blood Bank could bring accessible equipment once a year. '"The club members can line up the donors ahead of time," she said.."It's a matter of sitting down with the planners." Taking almost $500,000 out of the Blood Bank's budget to accommodate such a plan would be a challenge they have yet to meet.

Ruzich said that Palomar has fallen significantly short of a state-mandated 30 percent goal for an ethnically-diverse faculty. Records show only 12 percent of staff and faculty are from historically under-represented groups and about 75 percent of those are assigned to Student Services. CSUSM, whose ethnically diverse faculty exceeds 40 percent, can provide the parameters to meet Palomar's goal, Ruzich added. On the other end of the scale is CSUSM' s student population which, according to Stacy, does not represent a cross-section of California. Although it's difficult to evaluate the transfer rate from Paloinar to California

State Universities, one Palomar study estimates the overall transfer rate is about 22 percent. Âˇ According to Palomar's "Fact" book, 38 Hispanic students transferred to CSUs in 1990. Ruzich said she hopes the school's consorted effort will become a model for Califomia universities. "I feel this has tremendous statewide and national impact," she wrote in a letter to CSUSM officials. To fuDd the project, Palomar will apply for a grant of $66,000 from the Community College Chancellor's office. Ruzich has also asked CSUSM to help finance part of the venture.

NEWS Poor air circulation plagues library By Patty Lane Staff Writer

The library at Palomar College has been undergoing a slow facelift since employees and students complained of problems and possible allergic reactions with the air quality inside the library. Although tests have notrevealed any dangerous levels of chemicals inside the library, there are plans for installing a new heating and air conditioning system in the near future, said Director of Facilities Mike Ellis. According to Ellis, who has been working on the problem with the air quality since 1983, the building is considered to have "Sick Building Syndrome," so funds from the Hazardous Waste Removal Program are expected to be received in July.

The Telescope Friday, March 5, 1993

By Mireille Samson Copy Editor and Paul Raineri Staff Writer Eight years ago, Palomar College was hit by a force that has impacted the school in virtually every respect. That force is Mike Gregoryk, assistant superintendent/vice president of finance and administrative services. Sincearrivingin 1985, Gregoryk,41, has made friends and enemies alike in a position that is powerful, sometimes thankless and always full of controversy. He is a respected businessman in the community, earning numerous awards, including: •San Marcos Man of the Year, 1991 •National Outstanding Business Officer, 1991 •President' s Award, 1984 (by Nebraska Community College Trustees). Gregoryk, a father of four, earned his bachelor's degreeatMinotState University in North Dakota and his master's degree in business at the U.S. International University in San Diego. And although he has l>een successful in many areas, some staff members believe Gregoryk' s conduct has been questionable. Gregoryk has been the subject of unsubstantiated rumors ranging from pruking his boat on campus to using school funds for borne improvement projects. Because of the controversy surrounding Gregoryk, The Telescope has conducted an interview in an attempt to uncover the man behind the myth.

Sometimes it's pefsonai style, sometimes we're not all going in the same direction, even though I think all of us are ultimately doing what's best for swdents. I'm a firm believer in that and I think most people are. But we don't all do things exactly the same way and when we have different personalities worlcing on the same problem but in different directions, (it's) going to create some friction.

I'm one of those who believe that change is good, and I'm trying to promote some change here, and I think it's very positive, but not everybody's going to agree with that and that's a part of life. So I think we go on and do what we think is best in order to provide the best quality education we can.

ing areas that can be cut, keeping in mind thatournumberone goal is serving students. We're going to ask them to tell us what the ramifications of (such cuts) are, making sure that we're putting out a quality product.

What would some cuts be? There have been a lot of suggestions: payroll deduction for health insurance benefits, actual pay cuts, freezing the (salary) matrix. We're going to look at every possible stone, turn it OVt'Z and see what's under it.

Do you fore-

see any personnel layoft's in the near future? When I was in Nebraska we went through a 10 percent reduction in staff and that was horrendous. You can't imagine the pain you create when you have to do something like that. We don't want to have to live through that here. Dr. Boggs has made it very clear his number one priority is maintaining the permanent staff.

What do you think is causing California's economic crisis? We need to get the state, which in turn affects us, in some kind of a ftseal stable role. That has to be a top priority, and it hasn't been that way.

We can't keep paying for everyone who can't afford to pay. We have to fmd a way for all the immigrants coming into California to help pay. It can't just be service after service after service. We're a billion and a half short just from providing health care and welfare benefits to immigrants who are not citizens of California. We have to do something to solve that problem.

What should be done about education? We need to make sure that everybody is doing their fair share so that one segment isn't penalized and others are. Let me give you a good example: why are the community colleges (taking) an 11 percent reduction and the other two systems of higher education 2-3 percent? There's something wrong when, on the one hand, we want to bring jobs to California, and then on the other hand, you cut your training institutions. We're the one training people for jobs, the UCs and CSUs aren't. In my opinion, they can afford to take a little bit more. We're not the ones at the trough getting all the extra money.

What are your personal aspirations? I have always felt very strongly that we need to be involved in the community and

serve it in a big way. I've done that. I've been president of the San Marcos Chamber(ofCommerce), President of Boys and Girls Club. Right now I'm co-chairing a $1.5 million fundraiser to build a new building for the kids of San Marcos. Plus, I was elected to public office two years ago to the Vallecitos Water Board and I have some interest t,here.

Tljfherv dOd oomedY in latest play By Marina Melson

Managing Editor

Trickery among the aristocrats of Oxford, England abounds in Palomar Performing Arts Department production "Charley's Aunt." Charley, played by Douglas Pyle, implores his frustrated aunt, the cleverly disguised Matt Godecker.

''Charley's Aunt," the Palomar Performing Arts Department's upcoming production, employs the theme of mistaken identity to take playgoers back in time in a comedic farce. The story retreats to tum-of-the-century England, a time when the rendezvous between a young lady and man was forbidden without the presence ofa chaperone. Charley, played by Doug Pyle, faces this predicament when he wishes to meet with his female companion. The dilemma ensues when the chaperone of young Charley, played by Brandy Barber, announces she will not be able to supervise the tryst. A substitute is soon found-Lord Fancourt Babberly (Matt Godecker) who is a schoolmate of the boy. Through tomfoolery he proceeds to impersonate the missing aunt According to the director of the play, David Boyd, "Charley's Aunt" is "a lot of fun; it has remained a classic." The story, written in 1892 by Brandon Thomas, has been performed by many drama organizations for the last hundred years. "Charley's Aunt" debuts at the Howard Brubeck Theatre on March 5 and continues through Man::h 14. Tickets may be reserved by contacting the box office at 744-0136.

Contributing Writer "I really enjoyed that!" ... ''What great dancing!" was the general response from the audience when the curtain closed after the sneak preview of "Strictly Ballroom." Great movie, Yes. Great dancing, No. Although the fllm, a contemporary Cinderella story set in the flamboyant world of ballroom dancing, proved to be strictly brilliant, the ballroom and Latin dancing was dated, and aside from the fmal scene, I found myself stricken with disappoinbllent. Despite this fact, I found this

farce an outrageously delightful look at the goings-on off the dance floor. The story concerns Scott Hastings, an Australian dancer played by real life modern-jazz dancer Paul Mercurio, who is being pushed to win the Austrian Pan Pacific Grand Prix Championships. Scott has other ideas. He's more interested in dancing his way, which is anything but strictly ballroom. Unfortunately, his attempts at being different cause him to lose his partner as well as an in-the-bag competition. Desperate for a panner, he gives a beginning pizzafaced dance student named Fran,

played by Tara Morice, a chance. But the ever- evil dance director Barry Fife, played by Bill Hunter, hasotherideas. Through a series of mishaps, Scott ends up with his original dance partner. But what about our ugly duckling, Fran, who didn't quite make it to swan status? Will Scott take the sure win with his original partner <X will he go back to Fran? You'll never know unless you see "Strictly Ballroom," probably one of the most finely -tuned farces of the decade.

Is Clinton's economic plan going to work?

on spelled backwards is noc, but I can'tknockBillClinton,amanwho is genuinely trying to help his country. WillBill'seconomicplanwork? Not a chance - why? For one thing, the American vision of an economic plan that works resembles some utopia that no government on this planet could ever achieve. What's more, Bill's plan relies on the American people to help pull it off. You can't get a half billion people to agree on lunch, let alone to work together on resurrecting the most powerful empire civilization has ever known! Sure I could get tangled in details concerning the plan. I could mention the fact that Bill promised $1 of spending cuts for $1 of tax increases and now is pushing $2 of tax increases for only $1 of cuts. I could compare Bill's plan that proposes a deficit reduction of $473 billion by 1998, to Bush's plan that proposed a $482 billion deficit

reduction and ended up with over a $100 billion increase. I could list in detail the tax cuts and increases, the spending cuts and increases, all of which will simultaneously helpandhurtAmericansdepending on which side of the fence they're on. But that would lose sight of the underlying factor of why this country is in trouble and why the plan won't work- attitude. It's the attitude of the big business mongrels, who care less about the other guy. Do you think those people are hurt by a recession? Their opportunity to make a profit rises during a recession These people have a lot of money, but not a lot of heart. They are the faceless manivulators of government whose names we will never know, the ones who actually drive the economy. And they will always find a loophole around any president's plan. Unfortunately, the attitude of the American people, the only people who can stop these mongrels, is steeped more in how they're going-tO entertain themselves than on anything else. Reality is tough, but that's OK. Complaining is a popular pastime.

Welcome to SoCal: land of potholes ·I

do not drive a four-wheel drive allterrain vehicle, but after the rains that Southern California has faced these last few months, maybe I should consider it. I've driven through waters at least a foot and a half deep, hydroplaned almost as far as I've driven, 'replaced my windshield wipers in a torrential downpour and now, on top of everything else, I have to maneuver armmd potholes! Now, I realize that many of these things couldn't be helped. Mother Nature still has the upper hand as far as the weather goes. I could have replaced my windshield wipers in the summer, but I know for a fact that the state of our roads could have been avoided. The simple truth is that Southern California has inadequate sewage and drainage systems. Mira Mesa and Pacific Beach both flood evenly with light showers because of this inadequacy . And due to this inadequate preparation, motorists are now faced with those annoying little potholes. Potholes form when water erodes the soil under the asphalt If we had better drainage, we wouldn 'thave nearly the amobnt of problems we have now. What's more, due to budget problems and shortcuts, many minor potholes will not be ftxed, and even the more serious ones willonly be temporarily filled. This, unfortunately means that these very same potholes will rear their ugly heads again in the near future. As if the regular roads weren't bad enough, Palomar's parking lots have problems of their own. Lot 9 has sections of soft "sinkholes" where the asphalt more or less floats until weight is placed on them. I weigh all of 127 pounds, and that causes these sinkholes to shift. Just think what a two-ton car will do. Clearly these conditions cannot be ignored. They must be ftxed, not just patched. But with budget cuts and time restraints, patching seems to be the trend. But that should be okay. After all, we're in the middle of a drought

After-school activities, midnight basketball leagues and community recreation programs are things that a city initiates. Spreading anti-gang information door to door, like "Save Our Children & Community Pride Sunday," aneffortof150 San Diego area churches, is an example of what ordinarily citizens can accomplish. The problem of gangs and gang violenre is a complex one. It is an issue that many have a knee-jerk reaction to; either demanding stiff sentences for gang members or stiffer gun control. Either won't be possible without a lengthy political fight But common sense solutions, such as after-S:Choolactivities and community awareness, can begin right now. Indecision will only waste more lives.

Now you're probably wondering what the problem could be with that clause. It's obvious that the Founding Fathers wanted there to be a stringent separation between religion and the government, right? Absolutely not The Founding Fathers did not want religion to be regulated, and that is why that clause was written. So when the ACLU comes around trying to say that students cannot pray or read their Bibles in public school, they are taking the First Amendment out of context. and furthermore, are violating the second half of the clause that states that the free exercise of religion is not to be infringed upon. Take the case of the Conejo Valley UnifiedSchoolDistrictapprovingasex-edbooklet. The 19-page booklet teaches that the only flawless way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease is abstinence. Makes sense, right Well, the ACLU is making a big stink about it because they say the book violates the separation of church and state. What could be more ludicrous? How damaging could the idea of abstinence be to our kids? "Don' thave sex, because if you do you '11 get AIDS." That will ruin them for life, right? Nothing could be farther from the truth, and it is time that Americans stand up for their rights and refuse to allow this travesty to continue.

Giving her their rapt attention, Math 60 students puzzle over an explanation of rational equations as Klausengoes over a difr~eult problem.

Relaxed atnwsphere is the key to success in Klausen~ classroom By Holly Denecke Staff Writer

The chatter of conversation and the zip of bookbags fill the morning class. Anne Klausen slides off her shades as she tosses a cheery "hello" to her students. Many answer with a smile or a smart remark about her cat, Badlands. "Well, today he is at the vet getting his glucose levels checked to see if the insulin is working," she explains. The class is well- versed in Badlands' health .problems. Klausen looks around the class. "So what are you doing for the weekend?" An easy, relaxed atmosphere is not usual in most math classes, but Klausen sees no reason why ,i t should be any other way. She has a different relationship with her students-amorepersonalfrieruÂĽ friend than a formal teacher/student "Srudentsarepeopletoo, with interesting personalities. Think _ what I would miss if I kept the formal teacher/student relationship!" Klausen says she prefers such a relationship for more than personal reasons. "A more informal relationship relaxes the class and inspires them to learn and ask questions. Interactive classes help the student see they have a stake in the class and their goals are more attainable." She grins and comments, "besides, it's more enjoyable for me!" The Kansas City native wasn't always interested in math or even teaching. She holds a degree in

experimental psychology and went back to school for a degree in computer science. Klausen planned to go into research, but one event changed her mind and the course of her life. "I was asked to teach a calculus class at San Diego State University. I was terrified about getting up in front of a class but it was great! I knew teaching was what I wanted to do," she said. Klausen gets her enthusiasm for teaching from twoofherown teachers, Steve Pierce andDavidLesliey.

'I was terrified about getting up in front of a class but it was great! I knew teaching was what I wanted to do.' Anne Klausen

''They were so enthused about teaching, and they were organized. A teacher should be organized. You wanted to do well for them," she recalls. Was she good at math in high school ?"Notreally;Ididn'tstudy. I had a football coach for my teacher and all the football players in my class. Some teachers dislike math themselves and they convey that attitude to the sbJdents," Klausen laments. "I did fme in college. I was motivated to do better and I

did." The ride has not always been smooth for her, however. "Being closer to my students' age both helps and hinders me in the classroom. Some students feel more comfortable and will ask questions. However, some students try to take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere and think 'she's my bud, I can do this.' It's a very fine line and it's different with every class," says Klausen. Klausen has taught at Palomar for three years following one year at SDSU. ''It's more personal at Palomar- the students get to interact with the teacher more often on a more personal level," she says. The days are busy for Klausen. She teaches four classes, updates and grades tests, attends committeemeetings, thelistgoeson. "You can pick your own hours, but good, dedicated teachers spend more hours even on weekends," says Klausen. She encourages students to see her in her office before and aftel' class. "There are moments that make this hectic schedule worthwhile. When a student struggles through a problem themself and they get it right, they are so jazzed! That moment all my work pays off." Klausen's advice to all her sbJdents is simple. "Get a well rounded education, especially math. It helps to provide a disciplined way of thinking, you wrestle with a problem until you succeed. College is so important- it opens you up to a whole new world of things." Whatdoherstudentstbink? "She should get rid of that darned cat!" Ken Mitchell jokes.

Comets roll on; hitless streak ends

SUFlE PLAY

By Salvador Marquez Open Forum Editor

Martin O'Neil Well its about time! The boys of summer are back and its time to play some baseball. Many players have changed uniforms in the off season, which is going to make this year very interesting. American League Eastern division. 1. Toronto 2. Baltimore 3. Oeveland 4. New York 5. Milwaukee 6. Boston 7. Detroit. The BlueJayshaveaddedveteransPaul Molitor and Dave Stewart to their club in the offseason. The starting pitching rotation plus franchise players Joe Carter, Roberto Alomar, and John Olerud will lead the Jays. The Orioles feature three young promising starting pitchers in the game- Ben McDonald, Mike Mussina, and Arthur Rhodes. The Orioles also have a solid defense and they will be a team to be reckoned with this year. American League Western division. 1. Chicago 2. Kansas City 3. Texas 4. Minnesota 5. Oakland 6. Seattle 7. California Chicago is very strong on all areas of the diamond pitching, hitting, and defense. Barring injury, the White Sox will win the west. The Royals have free agent David Cone and Kevin Appier to anchor the pitching staff. Plus the acquisition of Felix Jose will help the Royals contend in the west. National League Eastern Division. 1. Montreal 2. St Louis 3. Chicago4.NewYork5.Pittsburgh 6. Philadelphia 7. Florida. For Montreal to repeat last season's success, young stars Marquis Grissom, Larry Walker, DeLino DeShields, and Moises Alou must repeatthesuccesstheyhadin 1992. StLouis has good young pitching, in lefthanders Rheal Cormier andDonovanOsborne,andastrong defense. But as the problem with all the Cardinals teams, past and present, lack of power. National League Western division. 1. Atlanta 2. Cincinnati 3. Los Angeles 4. San Francisco 5. Houston 6. San Diego 7. Colorado. The Atlanta Braves do not have any weaknesses. No other major league team can match Atlanta's rotation of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine,JohnSmoltz, Steve Avery, and Pete Smith. They had 73 combined victories last season. And Ron Gant, Otis Nixon, and "Neon" Deion Sanders willead the way. Cincinnati added three new players to their roster, outfielder Roberto Kelly, outfielder Kevin Mitchell, and pitcher John Smiley. Weaknesses are middle relief and playing away from Riverfront stadium (37-44 on the road last season).

Kim Ward's scoreless inning streak increased to 51 innings with a 2-0 shutout over Pacific Conference foe Southwestern College.

Normally a two-hit shutout win would be fme - unless you pitch for Palomar, in which case, it's nothing special. Kim Ward, the ace pitcher for the state's top-ranked team, victimized the Southwestern Apaches for a complete game shutout, 2-0, in the Pacific Conference opener. For Ward - who Iiasn't surrendered a run all season- this is the ninth straight shutout this year, increasing her scoreless inning streak to 51 consecutive innings. It's getting to the point where opposing coaches shrug their shoulders in frustration at 11-1 Palomar. "You guys don't need to hear how good she is," said Southwestem coach Andrea Kinney. "She does it every game. Every coach thinks she's great." Southwestern was, however, able to stop her 25 consecutive hitless inning streak in the fifth inning. Southwestern shortstop Darlene Ortega and catcher Tonya Rocha hit back-to-back bloop

singles to end Ward's streak. Pasadena City College, on February 17, was the last team to get a hit off Ward. After Ortega and Rocha advanced on a passed ball, Ward killed the rally, retiring the next three batters. Ward finished the game with nine strikeouts, adding to her total of 84. "You get nervous," Ward said about the fifth inning. "But once you get into a groove, you start to relax." · Palomar produced its runs in the sixth inning when second baseman Palomar Vanderzanden and left fielder Justine Smith would score on two grounders. Unfortunately for anyone who would hold a bat in anger against Palomar, Ward is only half of their troubles. The number two pitcher, freshman Audrey West, is every bit as dominating as Ward. West, 2-1 this season, has a 0.269 ERA, struckout 37 in 26 innings and has yet to walk anyone. The one lone only earned run sh"t gave up this season is Palomar's fJISt in 77 innings.

It was indeed a long day for Palomar which was mentally out of the game around the fourth inning. "We've been behind all year," said second baseman Andy Panganiban. "We were just lazy."

Panganiban scored in the third inning on an RBI double by Kooiman. It proved to be one of Palomar's two scoring plays. LA Harbor, ranked fourth in the state and second in the nation, outplayed Palomar in every aspect of the game. "'nce you get a lead, youcantakecontrol(ofPalomar),"

said Grant Hohman of Harbor. "If we score five ~ns, they're (Palomar) dead," he added. Hohman had a basesclearing double in the third inning to give Harbor a cushy 8-0 lead. Even though the team was shellacked the day before, most play•See BASEBALL, page 10

But there is a difference between knowing you can do it and actually doing it." "Playing a team like this should give us some incentive," said Pangar.iban. After the ftrst loss to Harbor, Vetter had a plan in mind. "I didn't say anything to the team. I didn't address anything. They had a chance to play the same team the next day. I wanted to see how they'd react . "I wanted to get a feel for this club and how they' dreact," added Vetter. Vetternoted that the next day's practice would be "upbeat and a few things will be discussed." Possibly one of the problems that will be address is the fact that the Comets have let up about 40 runs in three games. "I think rightnowwe'rejustthrowingtheballaround and not playing together," said pitcher Mike Walter. Walter, returning for his ftrst start since the trip to Arizona two weeks ago, ptched 2 2/3 innings allowing 8 runs on 7 hits. Some questioned why Walter was left in the game even that long.

Comet Chris Chavez strikes out on this pitch. It was that type of game for Palomar who had only two hits aJI day. "Its been 14 days since he pitched last," said Vetter. "We wanted him to extend himself... give him some innings." "That was the ftrst time I've pitched sincemybackwashurt," said Walter. "I was happy with my fastball. But we have to learn to win coming from behind" Pitcher Denny McAdams, who stopped

the bad bleeding late in the third inning, added his philosophy to the team's woes. "As a hitter, you have to get up for each game," said McAdams. "But pitchers should always be up. If you're a hitter, someone else can pick you up if you don't play well. But we (pitchers) should always be up." But the improvements will have to come

from everywhere on the fteld. "It's called pitching and defense," said Vetter. "If you walk 11 runners and getftve errors you can't expect to beat anybody." "We'Jl change our me!Jtal approach," said Vetter of the pending conference season. "We're not the club that's played over the last few days."-

Sports WriteT: When Palomar's Mens Tennis coach Jim MillergotwindthatfolksfromGrossmont's No.1 team in the state were coming to town, he thought his players had a shot at beating them, at least in the doubles matches. He was wrong. In what turned out to be a display of some of the best tennis around, Grossmontmassacred the Comets by a score of 9-0 including three doubles matches or mismatches, whatever you'd like to call them. Without players such as Tim Clark and Ken Kachnic, the No. 1 and No. 2 players from the 1992 squad, this year's younger Comets hoped to win something to maintain the team's standing. But they couldn't. Even though the loss doesn't bring anything to cheer about, co-head coach Jon Cnossen Jr.li.kes to see the game as a learn-

ing experience. "We could have played better," Cnossen said. "We had more chances of beating them (Grossmont) this time because we were playing at home; however, the defeat will help us ftgure out how much harder we need to practice in order to play better." Cnossen hasn't given up on beating the Grifftns, though ''We'll beat them next time," he said. With the victory, Grossmont improved its record to 7-0 overall and 2-0 in the Paciftc Coast Conference which it has dominated completely for the past four years winning every match against its opponents. In contrast, the Comets ranked No. 10 in the state saw their perfect season drop to 51 overall and 1-1 in league play. "I think we still have a chance to get to the State Championship this year," Cnossen pointed out. "It is still a possibility."

SOFTBALL--------continued from page 9 "We've got the two best pitchers in the state and a good defense behind them," said Palomar head coach Mark Eldridge. "Combined ~ith the fact that we're scoring runs, it makes a whole lot easier. "But flfSt and foremost, those two girls can flat out pitch." Defensively, Palomar is sound (committing only eight errors in 12 games), but the team still waits for its starting catcher Laura Quiroz to return full-time from orthoscopic surgery. Currently, Palomar uses Quiroz as a designated player- softball's version of the designated hitter. "She's not ready yet," said Eldridge. "But we're not concerned with that Kelly Summers and Amy Cloyd are doing a ftne job behind the plate." Eldridge uses Summers as Ward's catcher, Cloyd as West's. Âˇ Despite a good defensive team last year, Eldridge believes this year Palomar is better. "We have a better overall athlete this year," said Eldridge. Palomar has also been productive at the plate. Shortstop Amy Comte is batting .500, leading the team. First baseman Alicia Mar-

'But first and foremost, those two girls can flat out pitch.' Head coach Mark Eldridge rone (.469), center ftelder Suzie Esposito (.469), Ward (.448) and Smith (.409) wreak most of the damage for Palomar. Marrone (13) and Ward (11) are Palomar's best in

RBI. Unfortunately, there seems to be a chink in Palomar's offensive armor. "We've got a problem," said Eldridge. "We've faced a lot of mediocre pitchers lately and then, when we face a good pitcher, it'skindoftough. But the more times we see her, the better off we think we'll do."

Staff Writer The Associated Student Government Wednesday approved the purchase of a new cOmputer for its office while still trying to curb spending. In a 8-4 vote, the student panel voted to allocate $1,500 to buy a Macintosh LC mcomputer for the ASG office. The recommendation for the new computer was sponsored by senators Jon Bazan, Garrett Collins and Sue Martin. This action, however, was met by much debate among the 13 attending members.

In other ASG news, Senator Tish Self, who was appointed last semester;officially resigned from the panel this week. Nominations are now open to fill the senatorial vacancy.

Corrections---------. In the Feb. 26 issue of The Telescope, the profits of the Arcade were inadvertantly attributed to the "Streetfighter'' games exclusively. In actuality, approximately $18,000 is the net earnings of the Arcade.

In the article concerning campus club restrictions on the sale of food, ASG Senator Sue Martin was not properly attributed. -. The Telescope regrets these errors.
