MEChA protests lack of faculty diversity By Paul Raineri
Staff Writer Students protesters chanted "No justice, no peace" as they made a public cry for support of their cause in a "March for equality" through Palomar's main campus March 29. The march came after a week of protesting two Governing Board members "racist" statements and what protesters feel is a lack of diversity in Faculty. At arally held after the march, Robert Jenkins, president of the Afrikan Amerikan Student Alliance and a protest leader, read a revised list of demands that the group want Palomar officials to meet before protesting is stopped. One of the demands originally made one week earlier was to begin negotiations with Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs. On March 26 Jenkins met with Boggs to talk about the remaining demands. "He (Boggs) didn't have a problem with the demands. The only problem he had was the one about Jane Enwright,

Racism charged at Governing Board meeting By Paul Raineri
Staff Writer Sparks flew during the March
23 Governing Board meeting when student leaders demanded the iiDmediateresignation of Board members Harold Scofield and Dr. Rita White, citing insensitivity to minority hiring policies. Afrikan American Student Alliance PresidentRobertJenkins and MEChA President Ana Maria Prado-V erduzcocharged that statements made by the members were racist. "I view this whole problem will go away in time as minorities become much more educated... the problem I feel will go away probably in 10 to 20 years," Scofield said, at the Feb. 23 Board meeting. referring to the low number of minority faculty at Palomar Student protesters also construed a statement by White in the samemeetingtomean that minorities are not as qualified as Anglo candidates. White told the Board: "I expressed some concerns about the manner in which our hiring policies appeared to be deviating from a very strong concern for top quality."
Neither Scofield nor White stepped down. However, Scofield apologized for his statement and said that it was not his intention to hurt anyone. White claimed that her view towards the hiring policy was not racist. "When you people can prove bow I feel, then I will step down," White said. A new state mandate requires all community colleges to have at least 30 percent minority new hires by June 30. For the 1992-1993 year, Palomar's new faculty consists of zero minorities out of 10 new hires, making Palomar one of the worst offenders in this catagory for the state. As a result, an evaluation task force from the state chancellor's office will visit Palomar in April to make recommendations for improvement At the March 23 meeting, the large Boardroom overflowed with hundreds of students, staff and community members. Many waited for a turn to speak out against the lack of diversity on campus and the previous statements made by Board members. Robert Freeman, a Native American who teaches in the art department, had previously called for White's resignation. During

Owens went on to suggest that Boardmembersinvesttimeinsensitivity classes to help them becomemoreawareofminorityproblems. Studentspeakersexpressedhow the lack of minority faculty personally affected them and indicatedtheirneedformorerolemodels in the classroom. Earlier in the meeting, Margie
Ruzich, president of the faculty senate, read a resolution which formally addressed the problem. The resolution stated, "Faculty must take an active role in all aspects of faculty hiring." MECbA President Ana Maria Prado-Verduzco helped coordinate student protesting that extended out of the Board room and onto the campus' frQnt lawn.

TheA1M can be used with cards such as Cirrus, Plus, The Exchange, American Express, Armed Forces Financial Network, Instant Teller, Visa and Master Card.

They will also pay rent to Palomar plus monthly maintenance costs of $1,200. Hartley ·presented a prepaid rent check for $7,500 to the Governing Board during the Board's March 23 meeting. ''We don't expect the ATM to pay for itself, but I think it's a good investment," said Richard Tazelaar, vice president of facilities and purchasing. Tazelaar said that in the first two weeks there was a total of 366 transactions, including $5,400 in withdrawals.

·T ribes unite for annual Povv Wovv By BoDy Denecke
Staff Writer By Christine Doen
Staff Writer The Dome was transformed into the site of an authentic Native American celebration as the North American Student Alliance hosted its annual Pow Wow. Tribes came from as far away as New Mexico to participate in the many dances as well as to sell such artistic trinkets as necklaces, rings and earrings. For 12 hours the tribal dancing, craft and food vendors occupied the gym, offering all sorts of new experiences for the spectators. Navajo and Indian tacos, along with Fry Bread, were served to the onlookers while watching the Pomel Feathers perform The Whistle Song and other dances. VendorGeorge Dancing Horse, who has been involved in pow wows for 40 years, said he hopes the audience "no longer has a misunderstanding ofNative people and sees the gathering of our people as a chun:h that is one with spirit. The drums are our heartbeat everyone should listen to." Luiseno Indian Adella Kolbchaired the event fora second year with the help of Palomar's Native American Student Alliance club, ASG and the Inter-Club Council. Kolb, a Palomar student, said he hoped the Pow Wow "would help fellow Indian students (on campus) take pride in who they are and know they are not invisible. We are still here and will always be here." Kateri Kolb said she likes dancing because it helps give her a better sense of what being an Indian is all about "I feel proud to be an American Indian. Dancing for so long gives me a good sense of being an Indian," she said. Like most of the participants in the Palomar event, Kateri Kolb has been going to pow wows all her life. She was also involved in helping get many of the other participants together from all over the West "It was open for all. We have over sixty vendors bringing in their crafts," she said.

The tribes and vendors donated craft items for an opportunity drawing that was held that day. Pentel ton blankets, dream catchers and a porcelain dish, among other things, were up for the prize giveaway. Along with the many dances and other activities, the Pow Wow was a chance for the different tribes to display their colorful handmade costumes. Some of the ceremonial dress were worn during wartime and served very practical purposes. Chokers, made from buffalo bone, leather and silver beads, protected the warriors' throat from arrows or knives. Breastplates, made from the same items, protected the Indians from musket balls. "The metal was so hot that it grew soft when fll'ed out of the cannons and splattered against the breastplates,'' Martin explained The dancing, however, is what held the aowds' attention. As the peon dancers slowly reached the center of the cin:le the drum beats grew more intense, keeping everything

in focus. Among the dancers was California State University, San Marcos professor David White Horse, who is a member of the Lakota Indian Tribe. He felt the Pow Wow was an enlightenment for outsiders. 'They see us past the stereotypes as drunks or savages," he said. "We are opening other people's eyes to see what real Indian culture is all about" Not only was the older generation present at the dances, but there were many younger participants as weD. Seventeen-year-old Angela Del Castillo, who represented the Southern California Indian Center as their princess said the Pow Wow was a catalyst for a stronger union between Native Americans. "All of us dancing together brings us together. The Pow Wow carries on tradition and keeps dignity," she said. Overall, the Pow Wow was a chance for the Native American population on campus to come together and celebrate their heritage.

Recent safety concerns have caused the removal of a sculpture garden on the west side of the campus, said Associate Professor of Welding Technology Terry Block. The garden is located between the Trade and Industry Department ~the engineering building. It contained five sculptures and came under scrutiny because the security and design of the pieces was thought to be questionable, according to Block. The sculptures were removed three weeks ago after the safety issue was raised, said Block. He said he doesn't know when he will be able to replace the sculptures. "(The situation) is in limbo right now,'' he said. Kelley Hudson-Macisaac, environmental health and safety specialist and chairperson for the Safety and Security Committee, said her inspection of the sculptures raised some concern over the mounting of the art pieces. "They (the sculptures) weren't secured at all. They were freestanding on a piece of metal so that they could easily be pushed over," she said. "In fact, I was kind of shocked
because I went over and touched one and it almost fell over on me. "The artwork presents an attractive nuisance to children. Any child injured exploring this display would put the District in a vulnerable J)osition in terms of liability," she wrote in a Feb. 17 memo. "I'm concerned about the sharp edges and sharp protrusions that are very close to the ground," she said. Hudson-Maclsaac tookherfmdings to the Campus Beautification Committee and urged them to develop safety guidelines for the "installation of any outdoor artwork." However, Dean William Flynn, thechairoftheBeautificationCommittee, said his committee does not usually deal with the safety side of any artwork on campus but leaves that up to the Safety Committee. "He really has to talk to the Safety Committee about the bases to make sure that they'd be safe," said Flynn. · Block said he was waiting for the approval of the Campus Beautification Committee, not the Safety Commission. "(Thefinalsay)isuptotheBeautification Committee of the campus,'' he said.

By Sara Skol Lifestyle Editor An amber glow emanates from behind an orange plastic curtain where a shadowy figure produces a sharp, crackling sound. This scene has played out since the 1950s when Palomar introduced welding to the industrial arts pro-
gram. Palomar's high-tech welding center encompasses 5,000 square feet of state-of- the- art equipment. Neatly- hung brooms attest to the fact that the welding center is spotless.Notonlyistheareaclean, it is well-lit and good use has been made of color. Blue, yellow and red protective plastic sheeting and
brightly-painted welded art produce a pleasant working atmosphere. "We don't want to be the best kept secret in the country," said Welding instructor Terry Block. "When you pass through these doors, you are entering the TajMahal of welding facilities." Block added, "Everybody but Palomar has closed their welding program." He said the industrial arts program currently has 225 students but can handle up to 300 students spread out over day and evening classes. Pete Littman researched welding schools before deciding on Palomar. He said that Palomar's facilities "are better than Santa
Monica City College and the L.A. TradeTecbSchool,whicbcostfive times as much as Palomar." AccordingtoLittman,it'sacompliment to be able to repair or maintain anything metal. "It takes good technique and a lot of practice to make a quality weld," be said. Littman also said he is very confident in the teaching ability here. Palomar's welding program caters to all welding needs. Besides the A.A. degree and certificate, the program offers an open lab (no tests) and 20- hour Saturday workshops. A three-credit class for artists and welders offers instruction on building metal sculptures. Another class offers a repair and equipment maintenance workshop.

Should the students pay for GAIA's trip to a gay rights protest at the capitol?
/JI
•
S"AN MARC.05
efore deciding whether or not GALA should get the funds from the student representation fee is, what is the purpose of the fee? The fee was set up so that student representatives from Palomar College could lobby on a local, state, and national level for student-related issues. In the fJl'St place, GALA is oot going toWashington to represent Palomar College. They will ad- ' dress issues that are pertinent to the gay and lesbian community of Palomar, they will be lobbying for rights that will affect every individual at this institution. Some of the specific issues that will raised by Palomar's lesbian, gay, and bisexual student representatives will include the lobbying for an increase in AIDS education and health care reform, legislation to end restrictions on family adoption and foster care (including the rights of a single parent), and demanding a multi-cultural curriculum; which would include gay, lesbian, and bi-
T
sexual studies. GALA's fight for educational representation is one that is truly overdue. Would society continue in its skewed view of homosexuals if it knew of the homosexual/ bisexual lifestyles of such historical figures as William Shakespeare, Margaret Mead, Walt Whitman, Alexander the Great, Michelangelo, and Eleanor Roosevelt? You may believe that the student representation fee should be spent on something that effects all students; such as the newly proposed fee hikes. If you did this, you made up your mind without knowing all of the facts. One of GALA's main platforms at Washington will be to lobby towards the end of discrimination based on actual or perceived sexual orientation, race, religion or identity, sex, gender expression, disabilities, age, class, and AIDS or HIV infection. So, do any of these issues affect you? If Palomar College truly values diversity, then we should be saluting the student representatives from our gay and lesbian population who will soon be traveling to the National March on Washington.

Do C. trip is a GALA moneygrab
GALA strives for educational equality By Jeff Robinson Staff Writer
M
By Michael Barder News Editor n the face of a severe economic crisis, with fees going up and enrollment going down, our gallant ASG has taken it upon itself to delve into our student representation fee account and use it for something other than what it should be used for: A trip for GALA to go to Washington D.C. tolobbyforgay rights. Since GALA represents a minuscule part of Palomar's student population, it does not seem fitting that they would be worthy of receiving money out of an account set up for representation of student interests when the only students they represent are themselves. Sure the money in this account has to be used for lobbying efforts, but it should only be used for lobbying issues that affect the student population as a whole. For example, if a delegation from Palomar College was on its way to Sacramento to lobby against the proposed fee increases,
I
then using the student representation fee account would be justifiable. But GALA. no matter how hard they try, will never portray a majority of the student population, therefore they should not be getting funds from an account set up for the student majority. When the ASG handed down its infamous decision, it said that the funds would be matching. This means that GALA pays $1,500 and ASG pays $1,500. Well. I haven't seen GALA do too much fund raising, and I know they don •t have over a $1,000 up their sleeves. So the question is raised: is GALA going to come up with $1,500 to match the ASG, or is the noble and affluent ASG going to benevolently hand GALA $1,500? I strongly suspect the latter to be true, and unless I am mistaken, GALA will get a free ride to Washington. . The bureaucracy we lovingly call ASG is becoming controlled by liberal activist groups such as GALA. and is less concerned with the majority of the students. It is time that changes.

A call for a diverse faculty We, MEChA and AASA feel that the Palomar College Governing Board members have deeply offended us by their lack of sensitivity and their attitudes towards the hiring of historically underrpresented groups. We are aware that Palomar College seeks the best qualified instructors, however, this search does not effectively include underrepresented groups. According to statistics from fall1988 to fall1992, there is a steady decline in acheiving the goals of diversification of the Palomar College faculty.

Let me do the thinking erbaps the message needs to be ingrained into everyone's brain. It's said to death before every election. You get what you vote for. I'm sure everyone has had it with the statistics, tales of how President Andrew Johnson avoided impeachment by one vote, or how some other disaster to the Republic was averted by one vote. This isn't an attempt to dredge up electoral "boogie" men or women. Why should I? After all, most elections are rarely decided by one vote, and who's to say yours was the one that decided it? Following that line of logic, and apparently most of us will, the election will have another stellar turnout of about 300 voters. 1bat's300peopleoutof27,000;onestudent represents 90 others. Those who don't vote must be pleased with the swdent government, a governmen( that only half people voted for. The rest are appointees. Two of these appointees proposed the controversial bill to send GALA to Washington D.C. on swdent representation fee money. One of the proponents, Jon Bazan, was the founder of GALA; theother,Garrett Collins, was reported to say that he's a ASG senator, therefore, he can do anything he wants. You koow, he's right. The ASG holds The Telescope's purse strings. If Collins is right, slashing the newspaper's budget is easy. There's no way, other than the ballot box, anyone can hold the ASG accountable. But why worry? I do the thinking for every 90 students every time I vote. That number would be smaller, but then, I'd be trying to convince you to vote. Wouldn't I? Foul ball: My apologies to ASG senator Joe Coyle, who voted against the grain in the GALA vote. It wasn't right to indict you with them. Too bad Bazan and ASG Social Events Vice-President Robert Jenkins don' t have similar fortitude. Both were given an opportunity to promote their opposing views on the GALA issue in The Telescope. Both declined. I just hope the next time they complain about me treating the ASG unfairly, they'll rememberthenumberoftimes they've stiffed me.

The money you may be referring to is called student representation fund. Money in this account comes from an optional $1 paid by students when they register. there is somewhere around $80,000 in this account and the money is strictly regulated for use in student lobbying efforts. The money allocated to be disbursed by the ASG is a much smaller amount, but this too is strictly regulated. In fact, there is very little money to be spent on ·' 'tiny special interest" And everything you mentioned has been considered by this body. If you are really interested in the ASG

THE TELESCOPE Volume 46, Number 17
Hired 14.3% 10.5% 0.0%
California Community Colleges strongly urges that 30% of ati newly hired faculty be from historically underrepresented groups. Yet, when we review the hiring patterns of Palomar College, we are appalled to fm a steady decline in its efforts to meet the goals of cultural diversity in the teaching staff. It is obvious to us that more effective measures must be taken immediately to meet the goals·of cultural diversity. In a rapidly changing North County, Palomar College is in danger of becoming an ineffective institution. Excellence in the future depends on Palomar College educating the diverse.population of the district it is mandated to serve.
whether or not someone is qualified for a to do this, a student teaching program could be implemented that would he lp evaluators determine whether or not the prospective teacher would be able to identify and benefit the students. Quotas will not solve the problem, they will only worsen it. They should be eliminated and ia whole new hiring process should be implemented..

The Right Stuff Michael Barder
Mfirmative action insult minorities A
ff11111ative action is a farce. Hiring minorities just to fill a quota is just as racist as not hiring them at all, and will not work. Here's why: If the goal is to get more qualified minorities into staff or faculty positions, the most effective way to do so would be to change the hiring process. Instead of having the highest college degree or level of job experience, the ideal candidate would be able to best relate to the swdents he or she would be worldng with as well as have a degree and job experience. By implementing an intern program, the applicant, no matter of what ethnicity, that displayed a true aptitude for the position would be the one who would get hired. If a minority applicant cannot cope in the job situation, then he or she is obviously not qualified. Minorities, or anyone else for that matter, hired just to represent a percentage point will not oerform as ably if they feel that they are not really wanted on campus. Look at the logic of this for a second. How would you feel if the only reason yougotajobwas tofillaquota? I would feel insulted, and so would you. Now look at the stupidity of placing a regulationonhowmanyminoritiesarehired. ThequotassetupbytheStateChancellor's office are nothing more than a racist way to get unqualified people into positions where they would do more harm than good. As Palomar Governing Board member Rita White said, the focus should not be on a certain quota being filled, but rather on whether or not qualified people are being put into staff and faculty positions. Minorities are just as qualified to serve in staff or faculty positions as anyone else, and to hire them just to get a certain percentage is very illogical and won't solve the problem. The only way the problem of racism and equal opportunity will be solved is to get minorities to become motivated and confident that they are capable of performing equally are better than anyone else. Setting quotas will not accomplish that goal, they will only make it harder to obtain.

Actor John Turturro brings his Italian machisimo to the director's chair for 'Mac' By Sandy Kraisirideja
Arts & Entertainment Editor
It seems it's not enough to just be a greatactorin Hollywood. Now actors are becoming hyphenates, adding terms like writer and director after their prominent occupations. The latest to join the hyphenate ranks of actor-writer-directors is John Turturro, whose latest film "Mac" is the star's directorial de-
but Turturro's film set in 1954 Queens, New York, tells the story of three Italian brothers who form a construction company after their father's death. Although the material may not be a huge leap for Turturro, who is part of his own Italian clan, the movie avoids the conventional cliche's found in nostalgic ItalianAmerican stories. Written by Turtnrro and Brandon Cole, a prominent New York playwright, the story was inspired by Turturro' s memories of his father, a ftrs-generation Italian im-
migrant who made a living as a carpenter. Best known for his roles in SpikeLee's''DoTheRightThing," "Jungle Fever'' and Joel and Ethan Coen's "Miller's Crossing" and "BartonFink," Turturroonceagain gives a strong performance as the title character in "Mac." Also starring in the film is Turturro's real-life wife, Katherine Borowitz. Cast as his wife, her role is a surprisingly strong one, despite the time frame in which the movie is set. And in spite of the film's advertisements, Ellen Barkin does not have an important role in the movie, although she does give an interesting use for Webers bread. Turturro's film is a strong directorial debut for an actor who has given nothing less than excellent performances. However, it is not without its flaws. For example, the movie loses momentum towards the end and it would've worked just as well if he had cut off half an hour at the end. "Mac" is now showing at the Cove Theater.
By Sandy Kraisirideja
Arts & Entertainment Editor Tired of those whiny, helpless roles occupied by women in recent films? Ready to see a female kick some serious booty and be mentally stable? Then "Point of No ¡ Return," starring Bridget Fonda in a make-or-break career role, will be right up your alley. Fonda dominates the screen as a drug-addicted waif who shoots a cop in a robbery gone haywire, is sentenced to death and then saved by a clandestine government agency who trains her in the fine art of killing. Her instructors in this endeavor, played by Gabriel Bryne and Anne Bancroft, transform
Fonda's Maggie into a sophisticated, fmely-tunedmurdering machine. Unfortunately, she also gains a consience and has a hard time separating her secret assassin life and the normal life she yearns to have. This desire is heightened when she meets love-interest Dermot Mulroney after she is sent out into the world where she will be contacted by the agency at their leisure. Fonda's transformation from street urchin to mature woman is convincing and impressive. Those who enjoyed her performance in 'Singles' will be surprised by her dramatic flexibility. In a refreshing change of pace from most action pictures, a male character takes a backseat to the
female star. In fact, Mulroney slows the movie down coming across as a weak, dependent character. This is ironically the role usually played by females. But let's not forget that this is a thrillerandalxlve everything else, its wham-bam-thankyou-ma'am action is what is going to make it popular. Fortunately, the movie fulfills this requirement and even comes across as a good film. Call it the thinking-man's action film, comparative to "Patriot Games" which used explosions and fist-fights in a thoughtful way. "Point of No Return" is one in a new trend of action films that mixes just the right of amount of violence and morality.
Metal for the 1nind By Salvador Marquez
Open Forum Editor
Tourniquet's latest release, "Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance," isnotabandforidiots,New Agers, flower children, Mariah Carey fans or anyone else with an I.Q. of less than 150. Tourniquet is intelligent metal, a group that has more in common with Bach and Mozart in its use of guitars, and WilliamS. Burroughs in its use of language. Guy Ritter (vocals), Ted Kirkpatrick (drums and percussion), Gary Lenaire and Erik Mendez (lead and rhythm guitars) and Victor Macias (Bass) form the band. Some might remember Tourniquet as the band whose animalrights video, "Ark o(Suffering," was initially banned by MTV for being too bloody. Well, they're a bloody good
band and they haven't lost their intellectual edge. But unless you know instantly what the album title means- "Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance"- you'll need a dictionary. The general theme of "Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance" album revolves around cause and effect. "Gelatinous Tubercles of Purulent Ossification" illustrates, in graphic terms, the effect of smoking; "Exoskeletons," alxlut apathy; ''The Skeezix Dilemma," about child abuse. Tourniquet is a Christian band. but beware, Stryper or Amy Grant they're not. The album goads people to think without being preachy. Besides, dismissing this new generation of music is akin to rejecting female rappers or AfroAmerican metal bands. Bone up on your vocabulary andgetthisalbum.Ifitisn'tatyour local record store, tell them it's from Intense Records and use big
words to the message across. One album I'm sure I won't fmd anywhere is this weird English import "u.f.orb" from The Orb, from Big Life Records. Remember your astronomy class, the trips to the planetarium and the weird space sound effects the teacher played? Bingo. Granted, I didn't listen to much of the album (willingly). It was, frankly, hard to understand- not a vocabulary thing, mind you. Only the most cosmic of cadets can relate to this quasi-industrial band. I was left wondering, since I came before the LSD generation, what drug I would need to make "u.f.orb" more palatable. Luckily, I didn't listen to this album in my car because I would probably drive off a cliff to end the agony. But for the rest of us, it's better if we go to a planetarium than buy "u.f.orb." It's cheaper and the astronomy professor is probably more interesting.

Even though she pitches behind Kim Ward, freshman Audrey West is considered one of the top pitchers in the state.
Waiting in the wings By Salvador Marquez
Open Forum Editor No opposing softball team should get this much grief from a number-two pitcher. But Audrey West, Palomar's numbertwo pitcher, is better than most opposing number-ones. Many feel that she will one day be mentioned in the same breath as other Palomar pitching greats: Karle Schott, Cami Allen, Shannon Downey and Kim Ward. "She'll be in that caliber," said Palomar
bead coach Mark Eldridge. "She's on track. though. That's pretty good company, but she'll be there." Certainly West's statistics merit attention. In 62 innings pitched, she bas struck out 99, walked four (one was intentional), has a 0.677 earned run average and a 7-2 record. In the second game of a double header March 23, West pitched a no-hitter against Klackamus of Oregon, striking out 18, including 15 straight at one point She has a riseball, the secret of her sue-
cess. "It's mostly a low rise. It starts below the knees and ends up around (the batter's) waist," said West. "It's my strike pitch." Her rise in the softball world shouldn't surprise anyone at Palomar. As a sophomore at Rancho Buena Vista High, West was taught by Allen, who currently attends and pitches for Cal State Northridge. "I started taking pitching lessons from her and caught on her riseball," said West Theriseball worked well when she was a • see WEST page 11

Palomar softball coach MarkEldridge reached a milestone only few coaches can hope to achieve. On Tuesday, March 23 Eldridge recorded his 500th career victory as his team defeated Klackamus College 7-0 at Breeze Hill parlc. The Comets were once again led by the superb pitching of sophomore Kim Ward. Ward allowed only two hits and struck out a career high 18 batters in throwing her 14th shutout of the season. Ward also achieved another milestone by recording the 600th strikeout of her career. Outfielder Suzy Burke was the unlucky victim in the top of the seventh. Outfielder Charlene Reyes keyed the Palomar attack with a home run blast in the second and an RBI double in the fourth. First Base power bitter Alicia Marrone also contributed with a sac fly in the frrst that scored center-fielder Suzy Esposito, who led off with a double. Marrone scored on a hit in the third after stealing two bases and blasted a double down the rigbtfield line in the fourth. The double leaves Marrone one back of the single season record. In the second game of the doubleheader Audrey West struck out 18, including 15 in a row at one point, as the Comets routed Klackamus 12-0. Kim Ward, the winner in the first game, contributed a two-run blast in the second that gave the Comets a four- run lead.

Former star honored by Aztecs Coach McFarland has jersey retired in ceremony at SDSU Christopher C. Holmes
Sports Editor SAN DIEGO - Time stood still for amomentat Peterson Gym on March 26 as San Diego State University remembered its past heroes. In a nostalgia filled ceremony, the Aztecs honored the 1973 NCAA Champion men's volleyball team. Among the honorees was Palomarmen's volleyball coach Duncan McFarland. McFarland was the MVP of the '73 tournament. He and former teammate Chris Marlowe were further honored with the retirement of their uniform numbers. McFarland is considered by many to be the best player ever at SDSU. Close friend and former teammate Craig Beery beamed as be remembered his playing days with McFarland.
"Duncan was the best player I have ever played with. He is just a class act," said Beery, " He led by example. His concentration was always perfect, he never made a mistake in a crucial point during a match." All the players from that team were presented with engraved pieces of the original gym floor. Four of those players were tmable to be at the ceremony. Coach J ackHenn, who coached the team to victory that year, presented McFarland and Marlowe with encased mockups of their former jerseys. Then, as the crowd that included McFarland's players and family looked on, the '73 championship banner was re-unfurled from the rafters. On it are sewn the retired numbers of McFarland and Marlowe, a permanent reminder of all their accomplishments.

Comets gainjng after stumbling at the gate By Christopher C. Holmes
Sports Editor It would be an understatement to say that the season started out poorly for Duncan McFarland's team .. The Comets lost their first three matches and saw outside hitter Dave Perkes go down with an injured knee. From that point on things have steadily improved. Perkes has renuned to the team after arthroscopic surgery and, before their loss to Long Beach City on Wednesday, Palomar had won four of five matches. "It really hurt us when Dave went down," said McFarland, " he's not 100 percent yet but he is
back."
Strong play from team captain Chris Dyneke has been a key to the Comets success. Another player McFarland depends on is Nate Hollingsworth. "Nate's been our top all around player. He can play any position," said McFarland. "I switched him from opposite side to swing hitter. Since then our offense has played well," said McFarland. McFarland's team has a tough road test ahead with travel games against Pierce, Grossmont and Goldenwest this week. "We need to be tested under fire. I think if we can win two out of three on the road, we'll have a good shot at making the playoffs," said McFarland

Longhorn, too. As a junior and pitching high school softball for the ftrst time, West chalked up a myriad of CIF records: most shutouts (14), most career no-hitters (eight), most no-hitters in a season (five) and most strikeouts in a season (294). West, in fact, was on a pace during her senior year to break the record she set the year before, but a broken thumb (while fielding a grounder) cut short her season. In 13 games, West sent 168 hitters down while pitching three no-hitters. But even before high school, there was someone else pushing her. Pat West never let his daughter quit. ''There were a lot of times I wanted to quit but he pushed me,"
saidWest. "Hekeptmeintoit,kept me into practice." This meant, however, practicing 300 days out of the year, every year since she was 12. "She's very intense as a individual," said Pat West. "She hates to lose. Even in high school, she would pitch a no-hitter but lose, and be crying on the ride back." Her drive is paying off. Although she intends to pitch for Palomar next year, she's drawn interest from Boston College. Other campus athletes also notice her's and the team's success. But for right now, West is the number-two pitcher and there is no animosity. "I'm the new kid on the block and have to prove myself," said West "Kimhasalreadyproven herself and she's awesome."
