Recycling center to inspire others By Paul Raineri

Staff Writer

Student Brant Doerfler throws a glass container in the new recycling bin located in the Student Union. The bin has receptacles for glass, paper, cardboard, aluminum, plastic and trash.

Palomar's recycling program recently received a $50,000 shot in the arm when Governing Board members approved plans for a major expansion of current recycling efforts. A $25,000 state grant, which was matched with $25,000 of district funds, will allow for construction to begin on the first on-campus recycling center among San Diego community colleges, said Facilities Manager Phil Ryan. Costing roughly $20,000, the center will handle recycled material generated at Palomar including paper, cardboard, aluminum, plastic, glass, metal and mulch, Ryan said. Grant money will also provide for more collection containers around campus such as the Student Union's newest unit, which accommodates everything recycled from that building. Grounds Supervisor Rick

Kratcoski. who runs the program, said that a new gas-powered cart will come out of grant money to help keep up with the expanding program. Since the start of the program in springof1992, close to 100tonsof material has been processed. In addition, Kratcoski said that a recycling account has accumulated around $5,000 in revenue from the sale of material to Mashburn Sanitation. "That doesn't include the $10,000 we (Palomar College) saved on trash pick-up expenses," Kratcoski said. He explained that money in the account will be used to pay student workers in the next year, but it will also buy plastic benches and tables made from recycled products. Kratcoski said that in addition to giving students more places to sit, the benches will fulfill a requirement made by the state grant. "We need to buy products made from recycled material in order to complete the process," he said.

New appointment procedure approved by ASG By Roger Fregoso

Staff Writer Faced with having to fill a number of vacancies at semester's end, the Associated Student Government Wednesday came to terms with the fact that getting appointed to the panel is often as easy as having a friend onASG. Concern over lax appointment policies convinced members to enact more stringent rules governing the methods used to fill vacancies. ASG voted 10-2 to install new appointment procedures, similar to those used dur-

ing regular campus-wide elections. The procedures are effective immediately and will be used when ASG is looking for replacements to fill vacancies on the panel. The amendments toArticle6oftheASG' s Constitution were passed with Senators Sue Martin and Jon Bazan voting against it Martin said she just didn't "like the way this whole thing is written." Originally, ASG members appointed a student to fill the vacancy, and they would most likely be voted in at the following week's meeting. Now, students must apply for the desired ASG position and complete an appointment application which includes

200 signatures and a candidate profile sheet. The application process will remain open for 10 days. All applicants will be approved by a majority secret ballot vote of the ASG. Those appointed will hold their position until that seat comes up for re-election. "I know seats are hard to fill," said ASG President Lowell Kepics. "This process is a way to weed out those who are not really interested in being on ASG. I think it will be a very effective process since half this body will be leaving at the end of the semester." ASG Senator Joe Coyle agreed with the new procedures. "I think this way will elimi-

Tech Prep will educate work force By Christine Doan

Staff Writer A national education reform program called Technical Education Preparation - a response to the the needs of today' s job market - is in the works for Palomar's curriculum. Otherwise known as Tech Prep, the program integrates academics with technical courses to emphasize hands-on learning. The objective of Tech Prep is to prepare students for work and the opportunity for further education, according to ROP director Joan Osborne, who is a facilitator on the Tech Prep Steering Subcommittee. It offers education for careers

as technicians and in preparation for advanced education, she said. A pilot of the program Reading, Writing, and Wrenches will be offered this fall. It integrates fundamental academic skills with a technical edge. Three teachers will teach classes in math and English with an automotive slant "'The student will have an integrated vocational and academic instruction," said Osborne. Tech Prep is a partnership that involves all parts of the community and levels of education. It offers alternatives to students in high school and to those who are pursuing a general education associate arts degree. Students start in the junior year of high school and obtain the Tech

Prep Associate Degree (fPAD) at a community college. They can still transfer to a university. The state and local government will work with the secondary and post-education, vocationalandacademic education to form a curriculum built around careers within the business industries. The Prep program received a planning grant of $30,000 to help in the automotive, drafting, and graphic communication programs. Federally funded through the state Chancellor's office, the grant money is taken out of the VA'lEA (Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act) fund. ''This is not part of general funds, so this is not subject to the • See TECH PREP, page 3

nate the ASG cliques," he said. He added that the procedure will end the myth that ASG members only appoint their friends. Robert Jenkins, vice president of social affairs, said he pushed for the amendment because of similar comments made by Martin. "I heard Sue and other people say that they didn't have to run after the elections because they would just have someone they knew on ASG appoint them," said Jenkins. "On the surface it looks good," said Student Activities Director Jim Bowen. "I'm sure we'll run into some problems as we go along, though."

ISLAM

SPEAKS Minister Charles X of •the Nation of Islam talked to students in the Governing Board room May 5. He expressed his views on "The black man's future on a white man's campus" as well as answered questions regarding the Nation of Islam's philosophy. See next week's paper for complete coverage.

It can't be spent anywhere else." Osborne said she will bring all the district high schools together to become involved with the program. The program will also prepare the student who does not plan to go to a four-year college. "We want to do contextual learning where the student learns with their bands," Osborne said. "It's a very radical idea People call it an educational reform, but it's more like a revolt." A report by the Department of Labor stated that only one of top 10 jobs in 1995 will require a fouryear degree. According to Bob Barr of Research and Planning at Palomar, "(In 1986) the entering cohort of

first-time students taking 12 units and exiting in 1990 bad only 22.1 percent of university transfers." "What we hope will be happening is that the students will learn to develop their own knowledge and apply the information that they're learning in school to real-life problems," Vice President of Instruction Dr. Merilee Lewis said. "We bear from employers that get students who can't read or write," Lewis said. "Tech Prep works directly with the employers to help us develop the curriculum so that we are developing the kind of skills they need. ''Less than 40 percent of students go on to (a four-year) college," Lewis said. "So what do we do about the other 60 percent? The Tech Prep degree will enable them to get good jobs without having to get a baccalaureate."

The Honorable Pete Wilson Governor of California

State Capitol Sacramento, CA

Dear Governor Wilsono

We, the first to love and call California our home, ask that you remember history and the trail of broken treaties.

First we lost our land, which gave us the means to survive as a self-sufficient people. Without our livelihood, we became dependent. IDtimately, we lost dignity. We are a proud people with a noble heritage. This . dependency has not been good for our people or yours.

Thanks to the revenues generated from tribal gaming we have jobs, not welfare. Our people have hope. We are learning to sing and dance again.

~ ~

~~ ll ..,

We are baffled by your actions, your refusal to negotiate in good faith with the tribal governments as required by the law. We're confused by the continued legal barriers you erect to prevent us from exercising rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. You have not spoken the truth to the people. Either you do not know the facts about Indian gaming, or you do not care.

Corp. confirms this. We gave copies of this poll to your staff. Californians wish us to have the dignity of a job, to have the pride that comes from paying our way. We believe they support the rights of Indians to operate gaming on reservations as the means to fund Indian governments and tribal needs.

1i ~

~ ~

ll ~

..,

Indian gaming creates an unprecedented opportunity for tribes to end generations of poverty. Revenues from Indian gaming gross approximately $5 billion annually, and netted over $700 million in 1991.

Today, more than 2,000 jobs created by Indian gaming in San Diego County are benefitting Indians and non-Indians alike. Combined, the three bands here generated more than $200 million in 1992 revenues, made a payroll of $100 million, and spent another $70 million in local purchases of goods and services. In addition to reducing the welfare burden by putting people to work, the state benefits from income, withholding and other taxes as a result of reservation gaming. We are not asking for special privileges. We only want the state to comply with the stated purpose of the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. We are asking that you allow us to live and work on our lands, with the freedom to govern ourselves as promised by the American people.

..,

It ~

..,

ll ~

We were not happy with the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, but have honored it. We sacrificed more freedom-to acknowledge and negotiate with the states-as the price for survival. But, please remember this law does not grant the state final refusal; it provides for mediation and legal recourse as the means of ensuring fairness for the tribes and respect for their jurisdictional authority.

We ask you to end attempts to pressure Congress to renege on its previous agreement by putting a ban, moratorium or new restrictions on Indian gaming. G,.i.ve us a fair deal, a level playing field. It isn't honorable to change the rules just because we have learned to play the game.

You call tribal gaming "a boon for trial lawyers, fast-buck artists and organized crime bosses." These accusations sadden and dishonor our tribal governments. If there are trial lawyers making money from Indian gaming, we don't know who they are. However, we have had to invest a great percentage of earnings defending Indian rights in court to pursue economic opportunity against continual attack and harassment by some state officials.

.., ~

..,

It .., ~

As for organized crime running our businesses, you insult us. The tribes have been the ones to turn over to law enforcement criminal elements attempting to become involved. As the federal courts and Senate Indian Affairs Committee have found, there has never been any successful attempt by organized crime to infiltrate Indian gaming.

You forget we have had more than 200 years of experience recognizing those who would cheat us and use us for illegal, or ill-gotten gain. The tribes employ intensive background checks of all employees, private police forces and sophisticated security precautions. Reservations are where we live. Indians do not want criminals in their neighborhoods any more than do non-Indian families.

Intensive federal regulation and vigilant and vigorous enforcement of laws by the Department of Justice where crime doe' occur proWe keep our word.

..,

ll ~

Sincerely,

You say that "the Indian Gaming Act has not benefitted Indians ." How could you know? You will not even sit with us to discuss the gaming issues . You have never even visited our casinos.

Khristina Nazarevskaia points out her place of birth, Armenia, on the globe in the campus library. Her home is now in Moscow where she will return when she completes her studies in this country.

(Above) Nazarevskaia chats with a customer at the register of the main cafeteria on campus where she works. (Right) At the Phil H. Putnam Library, Nazarevskaia checks out the political scene in her homeland.

Imagine you are a young Palomar student 11,000 miles from home. That's bow far Kristina Nazarevskaia (pronounced Naz-arev-sky-a) is everyday. Nazarevskaia was born and raised in Russia but bas lived in Americaforjustalittleovera year. Though she originally came here to attend a private school in the Los Angeles area, she says her decision to be closer to friends brought her to Palomar. By all appearances, the 17-yearold student seems to have adapted to the laid-back, Southern California lifestyle with ease. Her Russian accent is barely detectable and she seems to have all but mastered the most popular American slang. But she readily admits that American culture is quite different and, at times, difficult to understand. "It was funny. When I came here, I had my own room. I was bored because (there was) no interaction," she said in exasperation. "People would sit in their rooms only and that really bothered me. "I was very upset I thought they didn't lilre me because they didn't talk to me and they were all sitting in their rooms. I really was very upset," she said. Another difference she noticed was the level of comfort Americans enjoy as opposed to that of the average Russian. 'The standard of living is actually much higher here than in Russia," she said. "I was amazed bow people in Moscow live in apartments. The apartments are quite small." But with all its differences, Nazarevskaia fmds that living in

America bas been a positive experience, and she added that the recent changes in her country have made living there much harder. Despite the problems in Russia, Nazarevskaia found that there are some things she misses. "I miss snow. I went home for winter vacation last year. I was screaming, 'Snow'," she said. "People were looking at me (and thinking), 'Is she okay? Is she crazy? Why is she screaming about snow?' It was funny," she said, laughing. Nazarevskaia doesn't let any feelings of missing her family get in her way. She is living perhaps every teenagers dream - a huge distance between herself and her parents. "It's kind of cool because nobody tells you what to do," she said. "I like independence." Independence aside, she also has a strong work ethic. Nazarevskaia said she believes that hard work and study are the best way to be successful in the world. "If you work, if you are smart, if you are not afraid of studying, you'll (make) it," she said. Majoring in radio and television , Nazarevskaia works parttime in the cafeteria. With some reluctance, she plans to return to Russia after completing her studies. She said she will return because her family expects her to, but one of her biggest wishes is to work in Hollywood. "It's one of those teenager things," she said with a broad smile. "I'd like to be involved in acting and directing both. But we'll see - time will show. For many people, living thousands of miles away from family, in a country and culture vastly different from one's own, this would be a lonely and scary proposition. But for Zazarevskaia, it just comes naturally.

Inaction will cause more death By Salvador Marquez

Open Forum Editor

oosevelt, Truman, Chamberlain, Clemenceau, these are world leaders that at one point or another failed to answer History's

call. These are leaders who failed to act at decisive moments in history and ushered in destruction. The world is witness to the barbarous policy of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The time is now to send in the most potent military force on the planet (ours) to separate the warring factions of Muslims and Serbians, end their conflict and give the UN peace plan a chance. As contradictory as it sounds, peace will have to be accomplished through the barrel of a gun. The reasoning is two-fold: with great power comes great responsibility and words alone cannot establish peace. Understand that the Serbians, Croats and

Muslims have been fighting for close to 1,000 years. This relatively recent action is revenge for the Serbians that were murdered by Muslims during World War II. Patrols, air strikes and even ground troops on the scale of Operation Dessert Storm must be deployed to separate the warring factions. Token and otherwise symbolic efforts won't suffice - both sides are willing to fight and die for their cause. Forget that we spent millions of dollars to fight a war for oil. Forget the rapes and other repulsive acts by the Serbians. Military action can send a strong message to whatever future government that inherits Bosnia: "Never again, to anyone." Doomsayers concerned about military action and fearing another Vietnam forget the aftermath of that conflict; millions more died after we pulled out The United States, because it can, has to stop the madness in Bosnia History clearly shows that, unless a war is stopped initially, it will only get worse.

Use war to stop war? No way By Paul Raineri

he odds that American bombs can solve a centuries-old dispute in Bosnia-Herzegovina are greater than the odds of my winning this week's lottery. If America was wise, it would sit this one out This is not only my opinion but that of the entire European community. If for no other reason, the possibility of alienating our allies should be enough for us to not intervene. I can't argue that U.S. military intervention wouldn't put a stop to fighting in the short run. After all, if we kill enough Serbs, they won't be able to continue attacks against Muslims and Croats. But I will argue that you can't force change into the minds of the people who will have to continue living in the region long after U.S. troops go home. Sure, the American government's inten-

tions of attempting to stop bloodshed is noble, but history has shown us that violence begets violence. It is true that economic sanctions alone have not been successful in the past, but does that mean military action will be? Let's look at the U.S. plan to bring peace to this war-torn nation. First we'll provide arms to M uslims and Croats so that they can f ight back against the Serbs. That'll stop the war--eh? Next we' II hit the Serbs with air raids; the civil war will be put into check for a decade or tw(}-perhaps. Maybe I'm wrong, but sometimes it appears that the men in charge of America's defense department have a solution for every world problem-just drop a bomb and blow 'em all up. After all, at the tune of roughly $250 billion annually, military spending is the second largest expenditure in America's budget. It should be put to use-right? Wrong !

We applaud The Telescope for its efforts in covering Palomar's diversity issue. However, the picture of the lip sync winner, ironically taken below the sign of the "National Organization for Women" and impersonating a female with oversized, surrealistic breasts, is a blatant violation of healthy diversity and contradicts the notion of human dignity and respect for individual differences. Would a comparable blow-up of male genitalia be acceptable for the sake of getting a few laughs? We don't think so! We want Palomar students to know that this kind of discrimination is unacceptable - for either sex - and should not be tolerated!

EDITOR's NoTE - While it's easy to be offended by such a picture, we hope that our readers understand that The Telescope's job is to report the news. We don't mean to offend anyone with our coverage, but the lip sync contest was a a public event. A responsible newspaper should cover this contest and include at least a picture of one of the two winners GALA's Mel Pruneda (pictured above). We just cover the news. We are not responsible for the free expression of Palomar's students.

The Me Veggie Alternative An open letter to McDonald's We respect McDonald's Corporation for its continuing responsiveness to public concerns. McDonald's has initiated effective efforts to curb litter problems, health problems and environmental tragedies like the

burning of the rain forests. People are now seeking ways to reduce meat eating because of undeniable evidence that meat consumption involves health hazards such as heart disease and cancer. The trend toward non-meatalteroatives increases with concern about fitness and overall health. In addition. we now know that largescale consumption of meat (especially beef) is bad f<X" the environment. Research has shown that it takes at least 10 times more land and water to produce a pound of beef than to produce apoundofvegetablefoodwiththeequivalentnutritional value (including protein). We can therefore see that neither our bodies nor our planet can sustain notions such as "meat two or three times a day." The demand for non-meat alternatives increases daily, so we suggest that McDonald'sintroduce a McVeggie sandwich. Excellent, nutritional recipes are already well-known; some of these include tofu, grains, nuts, tomatoes, lettuce and varieties of condiment. We believe in grassroots, democratic ways of solving problems. We believe McDonald's is genuinely concerned to cooperate with current movements to protecthumanandenvironmentalhealth. Finally, we believe a MeVeggie will sell! Please consider this proposal carefully and let us know your response. Gene Sager Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies

ASG President-elect Ngo is a refreshing choice

etractors of ASG elections have often said that the most unqualified candidates often win. That wasn't the case with this year's election. President-elect Denny Ngo, who beat Robert Jenkins by 89 votes, is someone who has no axe to grind and no cause to promote at the expense of Palomar College. Jenkins has displayed leadership qualities in the past. His term as ASG Social Affairs Vice-President was highlighted during the Spring Fest- which was basically a one-man job. His concern over social issues was also displayed during the recent protests over minority hiring practices on campus. But Jenkins displayed a flaw that Ngo

STAFF EDITORIAL lacks. At a pre-election press conference, Jenkins claimed that he was only involved in student leadership to take care of his own people. Jenkins obviously presented a potential conflict of interest if elected as ASG president. While the aims of the group he leads, the Afrrkan-Amerikan Student Alliance, are to be respected, could he have - in good faith - represented all of Palomar? Just this semester, many students wondered whether ASG senator Jon Bazan was in office to serve all of the students of Palomar or the group he founded, the Gay

It benefitted Bazan's "own people," however. N go, on the other hand, is experienced in student service. He served as Inter-Club Council Chairman last year. In the fall, he was as an ASG senator; this semester, he served as Executive Vice President. Clearly Ngo was the better choice. His election was not an "us versus them" proposition. It was a campaign of inclusiveness for the entire student body. Hopefully, he and his newly elected slate can get down to the business of serving Palomar, rather than serving "their people."

Please, don't send in the clowns

o write abnut monkeys and clowns, I suppose you have to frequent a few circuses. Perhaps if I attended more meetings of Circus ASG, I' d understand the warped thinking of some of its performers, excuse me, senators. (Given the length of some of their speeches, the line between communication and performance is often blurred.) At their last meeting, an opportunity to better the lot for Palomar students passed them by; CalSac, an annual lobby-in at Sacramento by community colleges, needed some money. The people who organized CalSac were to provide transportation for everyone's delegates. However, since budgets are so tight these days, items like security for students who spent the night in the gym were not funded. CalSac then asked schools that have a student representation fee to chip in and help underwrite the cause. I'm sure our diligent ASG senators were climbing all over themselves in trying to approve the $3,000 from the representation fee account to help fund the CalSac convention. I'm also sure that if I could convince you that, I would have made the perfect ASG clown/senator. Senator Garrett Collins led the retreat We need the money for ourselves, he said. Funny, all this time I was under the impression that the fund was to be used in lobbying efforts. It's no wonder no one shows up for ASGsponsored lobbying events. Why? Obvioqsl y, the ASG' s heart isn't in this fight and they hold the purse strings. It's easy to harangue the ASG for its inaction - the place does resemble a circus most of the time and it has its share of clowns. But now it's evident that the ASG has found a weapon to use - the student representation fee account. Participate in one of California's biggest lobbying efforts: "Sorry, we' re broke." But dole out money to send folks to march for gay rights, and it's no problem. The next time the ASG complains about student apathy, I hope there's a mirror around.

Three bands one review

Eldergardens' label forgot to send in the complete names for the band, (Geffen Records these people · aren't). I guess that's bad news for lead vocalist Adam, guitarist Ken and drummer Jon. Or perhaps they have no last names - a quasiartistic statement? Who knows. At first glance at the CD cover, I thought I'd be assaulted by a Soundgarden wanna-be. I was partially right. Starting with the second song on "Velour," Eldergardens reverts into a Soundgarden clone. That's fme and well for fans of the Seattle band, but copycat bands are like artificial turf. The band has got to fmd a new name. However, funk isEldergardens' strong point; "Nobody's Home," "4th Disorder" and ''LetMeDown"

• Eldergardens SanDiegoareaaltemativeband Eldergardens offers a refreshing look at relationships with its release "Velour." Eldergardens (from Immune Records) is typical of the grunge/ alternative renaissance in this area. "Velour" was especially a showcase for the band's bassist, Dan. The album's first song, "Nobody's Home," displayed Dan's rock-steady bass work. While the rest of the band was fme in the rest of the album, Dan's crisp delivery provided an imperturbable balance to Eldergardens. No last name for Dan, however.

All of them collaborated for the label's single release of "Roll Wit tha Flava," an audacious wake-up call to rap fans that Flavor Unit Records will be a hip-hop force. The jazz opening and smooth transitions between rappers tag "Roll Wit tha Flava" are as East Coast as White Castle hamburgers. The song isaggressive, brazen and belligerent without foregoing its hip-hop roots and crossing the boundary into gangsta rap. D-Nice, formerly from venerable Boogie Down Productions, produced the entire show - even threw in a sampled chorus from the boss herself, Latifah. It's always great when you can schmooze with theCEOandstillaccomplish something creative.

Flavor Unit Records

For those who have been wondering what has happened to eastcoast rapper Queen Latifah, her majesty has gone the way of gangsta rapper Ice-T and founded a new management group: Flavor Unit Records. What Latifah really did was gather some of the best talent in the rap world under one management group: Treach (Naughty by Nature), Chip-Fu (Fu-Schnickens), Freddie Foxxx, Dres (Black Sheep), Heavy-D and producer DNice.

Latee, Bigga Sistas, Brooklyn Assault Team and LeShaun. Find it and buy it; make sure it also has an a capella version. Flavor Unit Records- get used to the name.

• Orangutang Let's see, let's see, how do I describe this grunge wanna-be: "poor man's grunge?" Perhaps that's a little too harsh, but I couldn't help but believe the members of Orangutang (Imago Records) saw one too many Pearl Jam videos when they came up with "The Rewards of Cruelty." I have to believe that copycats don't understand that imitation is not the most sincerest form of flattery, it just cheapens the original. Take the album's first song, "Mr. Cimbalista" - an infantile effort about a rich capitalist driving around in some environmentally incorrect sedan. There' san original grunge concept, lambast a Reaganite in a big American car. "The Rewards of Cruelty" did improve with the following three songs; "Untitled #1," "SN.A.F.U." and "Gearhead." But Orangutang's attempt to revive "The Rewards of Cruelty" ended with "Sweet Lemon Maureen," a disjointed, confusing song that needed to get to the point. Orangutang is better off when it follows its own lead like it did during ''Untitled#!," "SN.A.F.U." and "Gearhead." During those songs, Orangutang dido 't follow a pattern, wasn't so cliched and didn't use hackneyed imagery.

Let's pay

the athletes Sportswriter Kris "Holy" Pope posed this question to the sports staff the other day: "Should college athletes be payed to play college sports'!' Good question. Taking a purely capitalistic approach the answer is easy, yes. The athletes are providing a service that draws in incredible amounts of revenue for their schools. Schools such as Michigan and Florida State, whose teams excell in both football and basketball, are able to acme millions of dollars for their athletic programs. The primary reason for this is television. Americans glue themselves to their tubes whenever "the big game" is on. Schools such as Notre Dame

Davis and Chini qualify for state By Kr~tian Pope Staff Writer After an outstanding regular season, the Palomar College golf team came unraveled in the postseason. The Comets were hoping torebound from their disappointing second place ftnish in the conference tournament with a strong showing in the Southern CaliforniaRegionals. Instead. the Comets floundered andftnished sixth, unable to qualify for the state championships. With the sixth-place-ftnish, Palomar will miss the State Tournament as a team but will send Palomar's top two scorers sophomore Darren Chini and freshman Jason Davis, who qualified for State

with quality individual efforts. Davis and Chini will continue their season as they fly to Monterreyforthetournament May 10, while the remaining Comets can now worry about mid-terms and ftnals instead of chip shots and their short-games.

The big time college athlete is every bit a professional. have such a large national following that they are able to sign private television contracts. These people are not immersing their interests in these teams because they respect the academic values of the competing institutions. The athletes and the incredible feats they perform in front of thousands nightly are the primary reason these schools are able to command the type of numbers in dollars they do. There are those who would argue that the status of the amaruer is sacred. They say it would be unethical, if not immoral, to pay a college athlete. Give me a break. The average Division I basketball player practices for at least two to three hours a day, everyday. This is not counting the time they are expected to spend in the weight room and individual shootarounds. These so-called "amatuers" are subjected to intense media scrutiny, for both their on and off court actions. They are considered representatives of the University. The coaches of these players are paid exorbitant sums of money by shoe companies, even though the players are the ones wearing the shoes. How is it that the coach is a professional but the players are not? The Big time college athlete is every bit a professional. They should be paid as such.

Davis, whilescoringarelatively high score of 80 during the second18 holes, followed his game plan scoring a morning low score of 3-under-par-69.

"I worked out for two weeks before the (SoCal) tournament," said Davis. "I ftgured I needed to come out strong in the ftrst half." Davis added, "I didn't even know who anyone was."

Pitcher Mike Walters caught this runner in a close play in the third. The Comets lost 3-0.

Mesa downs Comets By Sean Dean Sports Writer . The Palomar College baseball team had a golden oppurtinity t.O lay claim to the Pacifc Coast Confernce title but squandered it as they fell to Mesa College 3-0 on Tuesday, at Myers Field. With a victory the Comets would have captured first place in the Paciftc Coast Conference and a number one seeding in the approaching regional play-offs. Palomar's hitting, or lack thereof, was the main ingredient in the Comet loss. The Olympians (24-12, 1310) cruised to the 3-0 victory thanks to an outstanding pitching performance by pitcher Chris Nelson (8-2, 6-1 in conference). Nelson held the Comets to just four hits while striking out seven on his way to a complete game victory. 'This was a big win for us because it gave us the season

mar and makes the Comets' ftnal two games against San Diego City College even more crucial if they want to win the conference title. "We are in a frrst place tie now but not reaiiy since they have the tie breaking advantage for the top seed in the play-offs," said Palomar assistant coach Stan Crouch. "We are going to need a little help to get the top seed, but, most of all, we need to help ourselves." As for the play out on the fteld for the Comets, "We got good defense and good pitching but we didn't get any run production and if you don't score any runs you are not going to win," Crouch said. Pitcher Mike Walter (4-5, 4-2 in conference) got the start for Palomar against the Olympians and had a tough outing.

Despite striking out six, Walter gave up three runs on six hits and walked ftve in four innings of work. Comets head coach Bob Vetter pulled Walter from the game in the ftfth after he walked the frrst two batters. Vetter replaced Walter with relief pitcher Jeff Freetly, who allowed only one hit in three innings of work:. Palomar's strong pitching could not save their hitting. Except for the two hit performance of third baseman Brian Kooiman, the Comets' bats were virtually silent "Their pitcher had kind of a fast, slow wind-up that threw us off, but the bottom line is he did the job," said Kooiman. "If we want to win the league we are going to have to win the next two." The Comets next home game is Saturday, May 8 against San Diego City, at noon. It is the Comets' ftnal home game.

A father of one of Palomar's top tennis players died of a massive heart attack on campus a few minutes before his son was scheduled to play. Athletic Director J obn Woods said that Jerry Herman, 55, father of Comet tennis player Alan Herman, was rushed to nearby Palomar Medical Center after suffereing severe breathing problems mid-morning on April 30. Herman, who had a history of heart problems, was treated with CPR by Palomar athletic trainer Bruce Swart before being transported by San Marcos paramedics who later pronounced dead. Herman had been waiting for his son to resume play in the Comets second round of their tennis competition. Onlookers noticed Herman was having breathing problems just minutes before the frrst match. Swart, a CPR and ftrst-aid instructor on campus, was immediately contacted of the situation by athletic secretary Bonnie Plein. "When I got there, there were a lot of people around him," said Swart Swart, an eight-year CPR instructor at Palomar, said he attempted to establish an airway. "He was breathing but I found no pulse," said Swart He continued CPR until local paramedics arrived. Swart said the paramedics attempted to administer the proper medication to treat Herman. The younger Herman traveled with his father in the ambulance to the hospital. He did not return for the duration of the tennis event

lady netters capture second

at conference tournament Comets qualify four players for this week's SoCal Regional's By Martin O'Neil

Spons Writer The Palomar women's tennis team made a very strong showing at the Pacific Coast Conference championships last weekend at Mesa College, finishing in a second place tie in the five-team tournament The female Comets were looking to improve on their average results attheOjai tournament the week prior to the PCC championships. They did so by tying for second with San Diego Mesa with nine overall points, a distant second behind Grossmont College, who compiled 25 points. Southwestern and Imperial Valley rounded out the tournament standings by finishing in

fourth and fifth place. Despite the fact that Palomar did not win the tournament, the team did have a successful tournament The Comets qualified four players for the state regional tournament in Bakersfield, including their top two doubles teams. The two top Palomar doubles teams of Kara Schanzenbach-SuziStummand Jami Reynolds-Jesse Harris were very impressive during the tournament Reynolds and Harris made it to the semifmals before losing to Marni Hunt and Alysa Brown of Grossmont Schanzenbach and Stumm made it all the way to the doubles final where they would have played Hunt and Brown,

the team that defeated Reynolds and Harris in the semifinals, but Schanzenbach and Stumm had to default the match because Stumm was suffering from back spasms thus giving the title to the team from Grossmont While qualifying for doubles, Stumm also qualified for the singles draw at the Southern CalifomiaRegionals. Stumm, who was unseeded in singles play, reached the quarterfinals and had a big victory in her first match against the number four seed Alysa Brown from Grossmontdefeating her in three tough sets 4-6, 7-5,6-4. The next tournament for these four players is the Southem California Championships will be played this weekend May 5-8 at Bakersfield.

"I don't want to have any 'goats' here. It's a total team effort." After an impressive performances during the regular season, Palomar fell under the pressure of being No. 1 in the league. That lended to the Comets season ftzzling out late in the year. "All it takes is for a team to get hot," explained Lusky. "All it takes is one or two bad holes."
