Less than 2 percent of Palomar College's student body voted to elect six new senators to the Associated Student Government in this fall's elections. The new senators, in order of votes received, are Heather Martonik, Michael Royce, Miquel Samaniego, Amy Curtis, Michael Russel and Michael Burns. Adrian Kwiatowski and Matthew McNamera also ran for the senatorial seats. Despite the low turnout, ASG Senator Dan Rankin expressed optimism at this fall's elections. "It was great to see so many qualified candidates running this time," he said. ''This is the first contested senatorial election in a while." In all, 340 of the eligible 22,550 Palomar students cast their ballots in this election, down from 363 who voted last spring. Speaking of the turnout, ASG President Denny Ngo said, "We would have liked to see more people vote, but this is pretty good for ASG elections." At the Sept. 22 ASG Meeting, ICC Chair Aaron Klapka raised a formal grievance on behalf of student Frank Mazza concerning the

Freeman lobbies students for support By Christopher C. Holmes

Open Forum Editor

SPORTS

Robert Freeman, dogged in his charges of campus racism, has taken his fight directly to the student body. Freeman made a surprise visit to The Telescope Sept. 22 during a press conference by President/SuperintendentDr. George Boggs. Freeman, given equal time to address a group of student journalists, slammed administration for poor efforts to diversify the staff. Calling himself the leader of the opposition, Freeman dismissed the recent efforts by faculty and students to address the problem of racial diversity. ''The internship program is lame," he said

of the new program to recruit and train minority teachers. He called STANDUP, a task force born of last year's student protests, unnecessary. "Palomar has run out of time," said Freeman. "They must hire minority teachers now." Freeman dodged questions about his $200,000 lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: "This is not about my job. This is about the fact that Palomar College is breaking the law." He said Palomar has not met the goal of 30 percent minority faculty and referred to AB 1725, which mandates state community colleges increase minority faculty hiring. Dr. Boggs answered Freeman's claim by saying the figure is for the whole state com-

munity college system and not individual schools; adding that this was not an excuse and he would actively seek diversity here on campus. Earlier in the day, Freeman spoke to members of the African American Student Alliance, requesting support in his fight. ''The issue is they are not meeting quotas," Freeman stated in his brief address. ''They must bring in 75 ethnic instructors today." A week ago, Freeman accused Dr. Boggs of offering him a full-time position in exchange for ending the protest. Boggs denied the charge. Margie Ruzek, president of the Faculty Senate, was also at the meeting and disclaims Freeman's assertions. ''Dr. Boggs never made any insinuation that he would offer Mr. Freeman a position," she said.

Boggs takes proposals to -South Africa By Bjarne Olsen

Staff Writer Palomar President/SuperintendentDr. George Boggsrecentlywent on a three-week tour of the Republic of South Africa to consult on the educational benefits of a community college system in that country. By request of the South African government, Dr. Boggs visited several cities in late August and early September to make recommendations to improve the educational system of the country and establish

a foundation for a workable community college system to supplement their existing system. The trip was paid for by the South African government, and Boggs used his own vacation time. "I consulted with over 120 educators and government officials and visited several educational institutions and found a lot of interest in my recommendations," said Boggs. These recommendations include:

• Convene a committee of edu-

cationalleaders from the universities, the technikons, the technical colleges and the secondary schools to develop recommendations for a new master plan for higher education in South Africa. • Develop a system for national or regional non-governmental accreditation for the institutions for higher education. • Convene a committee of faculty members from the various segments of higher education to begin to develop a system of common

course standards for articulation between institutions. • Establish a few comprehensive community colleges on a pilot basis. • Develop and fund strong developmental or remedial education programs and strong student support programs for the new community colleges. • Establish citizens advisory committees consisting of represen-

"I'm hoping he'll sign it because it will be a good political move," Coyle said. As a CalSACC representative, he said he is also supporting AB 2227, a financial aid bill that would establish the requirements of Cal Grants on a need basis instead of a merit basis. More people would then be able to obtain financial aid, Coyle explained. Besides working for the two bills, Coyle said the Presidential Summit in Sacramento Aug. 24-25, at which eight representatives from Palomar participated, was a historic and major accomplishment in improving communication between students, state and college administrators. The state conference, attended by over 600.people, united students, faculty, administrators and legislators to discuss AB 1380, student representation fees, diversity on campuses and Proposition 174, said Coyle, who was a keynote speaker on AB 1380.

tatives from community businesses and industries to help guide the community college vocational programs. The recommendations were compiled in a report by Dr. Boggs and submitted to the South African government and educational representatives in the United States. Boggs' trip to South Africa was during an outbreak of violence in the country. He said a couple of his meetings were canceled because of racial violence. "It's a country of contrast," Boggs explained. He stated the most emotional part of the trip was on Sept. 2 when a Peace Day was declared in South Africa to condemn the violence. Boggs said that both black and white

people joined hands and mourned the effects of the disasters while he was visiting a technical college that day. The violence demonstrated against included the death of Newport Beach native Amy Biehl, who was killed during rioting

accessibility of voting opportunities for ASG elections. Students are required to vote between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. or 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on election days. Mazza complained that due to the restrictive polling times, many students do not have an opportunity to vote in ASG elections. ASGExecutive VicePresidentSueMartin explained those hours are set by ASG bylaws. Martin further explained that the bylaws, which she called archaic, were adopted years ago when class times were restricted to the morning and evening hours. In other news, ASG Program Coordinator Beth Post met resistance in her plea to receive $1,560 from the ASG Social Affairs fund to help finance the Comet Center's "Red Ribbon Week" program against drug and alcohol abuse.

ASG President Denny Ngo expressed concern about the amount, noting that it accounted for almost half of the ASG Social Affairs budget of $4,000. Ngo also questioned why Post, who already is receiving a $34,000 grant from the government for student activities, needs the extra funds. Ngo said the ASG backed the Comet Center's anti-drug and alcohol programs 100 percent. A Comet Center volunteer who did not want to be named told the Telescope it wasn'tnecessarilythemoneythecenterwas interested in. She said they were interested in having general ASG support for their programs, which many felt was lacking. After the meeting, Post and Ngo reached an agreement in which the ASG will support the Comet Center's projects on a case by case basis, instead of the ASG coming up with the lump sum.

"But in order for thatto happen, they must stop the violence." Boggs empathized with South African interests in his recommendations, but added that nothing could be done until nationwide elections, scheduled for April, 1994, are held.

FOR Clinton's Health Care Reform ÂˇPlan System will collapse under financial strain

Plan will guarantee health care to all By Mireille Samson

Christopher C. Holmes

Editor-in-Chief

Open Forum Editor

President Clinton's health care reform proposal will fmally do what no other plan has done-guarantee health care for every legal resident in America. Clinton called on Congress Sept. 22 to support his plan which focuses on providing health care to everyone and lowering medical inflation. The standard health plan will average $1,800 a year for individuals and $4,200 a year for families, which is roughly 20 percent of the total cost of the health care package. There are also special, one-time doctors' fees for those who cannot afford the premiums. The standard plan would put the burden on employers to pay the remaining 80 percent of health care costs. Employers have the choice between high and low costsharing plans to offset any losses an employer may have in sustaining health care for their employees. As it stands, our health care system is a joke and needs to be altered. It's unfairly distributed along the three economic levels, so some groups can afford health care and some can't. The rich will always have access to health insurance. It is provided free to the poor. However, the suffering now belongs to the middle class. They're being shoved from one emergency room to another, one after another insurance company refusing to cover them, while bleeding a slow and painful death. Even though lower-income households receive Medicare or Medicaid, many are then forced to remain on welfare to continue to get the health care. Not only is the current system unfair and problematic in regards to economic levels, it is also a colossal waste of money. Statistics show that for every $7 spent in the U.S. economy, $1 is spent on health care. It's ludicrous that while the country is in the throes of a recession, the current health care system does not even work effectively. The dilemma of health care strikes even closer to home for Palomar students. Here at Palomar, students receive a basic health care package with the enrollment of any class. Sadly enough, for many students who cannot afford health insurance premiums, this is all they've got, and they quite literally must remain il) school in order to obtain any health services at all. Most of these students fall into the middle class bracket. Because they work, they're not poor enough to receive Medicaid, but with the average salary of a young American, many cannot afford the skyrocketing insurance premiums. Clinton's plan has promised health care for all persons in the United States, regardless of income. While this is certainly desirable, it's impossible to tell if the plan will even get off the ground, much less work. However, Clinton's proposal to reform the health care system in the United States is definitely a step in the right direction and, for all too many Americans, it may be their last chance.

President Bill Clinton's grandiose idea of universal health care is an illusive dream that will only succeed in compromising the foundation of our nation's future. Not since the introduction of Social Security has such an ill-conceived and poorly planned package been presented to the nation. This plan, if approved, will put a stranglehold on both the health care and business communities alike. It will also further com--- plicate the bureaucratic stampede that is already over___ . _ _ _ running our government.

President Clinton's system is basically a nationwide HMO network. Any one ~_ ..:::;:....;.familiar with HMO groups knows that these companies provide excellent coverage for their clients at --~ minimal cost. The problem is these companies are able to keep costs to the individual down by undercutting the hospitals. Most hospitals usually only receive a third of what they are owed from these companies. The only choice these hospitals have is to transfer these costs to the remaining patient pool. Think about it. Clinton claims be is going to provide affordable health care for every citizen without raising taxes. Who is going to foot the bill if everyone is under the same system? Hillary (I mean Bill) solved that problem by demanding that businesses be responsible for providing 80 percent of the costs for each employee. This mandate includes all forms of business, small as well as large. This move will have a disastrous effect on the small businesses community. The nation's economy relies heavily on the success of small businesses, if they fail, our country will collapse. Another little facet that Clinton bas failed to address is mal-practice insurance. If the government is providing the health care, who is going to underwrite the system's malpractice President Bill Clinton presented his coverage? health care agenda to congress and By placing the health care system under the the nation on Wednesday Sept. 22. control and strict regulations of government, Clinton's plan is to provide guaranincome expectations for future health care workteed medical coverage at low costs for ers will drop dramatically.

Teacher backs voucher initiative Student says Freeman Sir, I am a teacher of Political Science here at Palomar College and feel I owe it to my students to investigate the debate re: the Parental Choice Initiative (Proposition 174-school vouchers). I have done so and have decided to join with those parents and teachers who support this measure. I would rather not dwell on the negative trends linked to many public schools, nor add to the condemnations of their top-heavy bureacracy and wasteful spending; these conditions are well known to this paper's readers. Instead three points need airing; (1) All this talk of using "public tax money" to fund private schools as somehow unthinkable shows a misplaced and paternalistic condescension; this money comes mostly from those parents who would like some input re: the best education they can find for their children. Whose money is tax money?! (2) Speaking of parents, the insinuation of the status quo unions that "fly by night" or extremist or incompetent teachers might "trick those gullible and

apathetic folks" denies or disregards the sincere concern which parents naturally have for their children's future. Coincidentally, only a few private schools operate for profit; about 80 percent are non-profit parochial and other sectarial schools. (3) Finally, why should the anti-174 forces be so unreasonably panicky and paranoid? Only one-half of the amount now spent on each public school student would follow a parent's choice (public or private); the other $2,600 still goes to public schools even though they would have one less student to "educate," i.e., would revert to the state's coffers to help with our budget woes. Furthermore, why should good teachers worry about layoffs? To the extent that private schools might grow, to that extent would there be a need to hire more teachers. The economics of this proposition, reinforced by the Sate Legislative Analyst's belief that the state would save millions, leave me one obvious choice- to vote in favor of Prop. 174. Dr. Michael Newbrough

keeps racism alive

Dear Editor, In your last issue, you ran an article on the front page regarding Robert Freeman, the art instructor who filed a lawsuit against Palomar College for alleged racist administration. His basis for the recent suit is that his class was canceled before having adequate time to drum up enrollment. I have news for you, Mr. Freeman: many classes did not even get a chance to meet once! Other classes were cut before the semester even began due to lack of enrollment, and I was enrolled in one of them. I do not see any of those instructors crying "racism" or "discrimination." People like Mr. Freeman keep racism alive here at Palomar. Instead of doing something productive about racism, he wastes his time standing in front of the school, holding a sign that is far from any art I have seen. He singles himself out and segregates the students on campus by making it a glorified issue. Racism is a serious problem, and we need to deal with it in a sophisticated and proper manner. Mr. Freeman cries "racism," carries picket signs in front of the school and sues the institution for $200,000. I doubt he will win the suit, but if he does, the money saved from his pay can contribute to the settlement. Then he has no one to blame for a canceled class and a lost job but himself. Charlie Knust, Computer Engineering

Student disagrees with minority quotas I saw an article about Palomar instructor Robert Freeman's claim that his Monday night class was dropped because the college administration was racially biased against him. One of his prime reasons for assuming that he was personally persecuted was that several students told him they tried to register for his class but were told it was closed. I have information that there were problems with the computer registration system closing classes before they were at full enrollment. At the frrstmeeting of a class I am in, the instructor asked for volunteers to switch class sections after only three stu-

dents had enrolled, and if they didn't get enough students in the other class section it would be canceled. It is likely that this computer software error affected instructor Freeman's class, so he is not a victim of racial discrimination, but a victim of a computer software error! I have grown quite skeptical of cries at Palomar College for "ethnic diversity" and claims of racial discrimination. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 wisely ended official sanctioning of racial discrimination. Unwise are many of the subsequent "affrrmative actions" undertaken in an attempt at

social engineering. Quota systems where there is some arbitrary magic number of ethnically diverse instructors at Palomar or some correct curriculum ration of ethnically diverse classes to other "white" classes is an insidious form of racism that will only serve to create ethnic enclaves (see the recent Doonesbury Comics) and heighten racial tensions. The key is equal rights and opportunities - not special rights and opportunities for the "ethnically diverse." Such reverse discrimination will impede the integration of all into one society. J.

The Green Column Mireille Samson

Save the 'P' for posterity What's Palomar without its 'P'? In the age of environmental awareness and conservation, Palomar College is in danger of losing one of its own natural resources-its 'P.' The signature 'P' has always been a landmark of Palomar College and the city of San Marcos, but what few students know is that the mountain isn't school property; it isn't even city property. In fact, it belongs to Gerrie Ryan, who has been trying to sell the 40-acre property for 14 years to no avail. While Ryan has been considering developing the land, the San Marcos Land Conservancy has targeted Ryan's mountain for a 400-acre land preserve that is touted as San Marcos's new open air museum. The proposed nature preserve would include parts of San Marcos Creek, Twin Oaks Valley, the Owens Peak foothills and Ryan's property, all of which contain a rich array of indigenous plant and animal life, such as coastal sagebrush, rabbits and coyotes. Beautiful though the land undoubtably is, Ryan and some property owners in the area have been trying to sell the land, but they have found it difficult to develop because of the steep slopes, wetland floors and the long, winding mountain roads. The natural habitat of the area around Palomar College is in danger ofbeing developed into the commonplace sameness of the housing tracts like the new ones on Borden Road. Why turn this lush, relatively unspoiled native landscape into the eyesore spectacle of pink houses lined up along concrete sidewalks and asphalt roads? I urgeRyan and other property owners to commit themselves to preserving the 'P' mountain and surrounding countryside, rather than making a quick buck at the expense of the environment. Since the land is virtually unusable due to its topography, it makes sense economically as well as environmentally to donate the land to the San Marcos Land Conservancy plan. In this way, they would be providing posterity with an untouched nature preserve that could be enjoyed by many people for many years instead of just making the quick buck and planting houses on the land. Concerned students and staff who feel the 'P' should be left alone and who support the idea of a land preserve in the hills behind Palomar could write to their city council members urging them to support the San Marcos Land Conservancy proposal to make an open air museum around campus.

New Zealand's Crowded House performed clever songs with quirky antics at the WOMAD concert.

WOMAD .f estival launches awareness to world music By Sarah Frederiksen

Staff Writer Situated amidst the 346 acres at California State University Dominguez Hills in Los Angeles Sept. 18, a quarter million square feet was home to North America's first WorldofMusic, Arts & Dance (WOMAD) festival. With a history of 60-something events promoting bands from more than 90 countries, it took nearly 11 years before the United States had its taste of this multi-cultural event. The brain child of superstar renaissance man Peter Gabriel in 1982, WOMADhadproducedconcerts in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy,Japan, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Although past years have seen festivals brush through Canada, it took years of effort to convince American promoters to support this event. ''We believe that there were many others who would be turned on if only they had the opportunity to bear some of the music that was exciting us," says Gabriel in the introduction to the WOMAD handbook. 'The festivals," he continues, "have always been wonderful and unique occasions, and have succeeded in introducing an international audience to many talented

artists. Equally important, the festivals have also allowed many different audiences to gain insight into cultures other than their own through the enjoyment of music." Months in the making, the North American WOMAD team succeeded in their goal to make the biggest splash possible with a oneday presentation. Western performers were the most unique and original the industry has to offer and world artists created a high class background on each of the two stages. Although there are no headlinersorsupportgroupsin WOMAD, several of the 20 bands topped the list of great performances. The Stereo MC's represented England's latest rap sounds. Their combination rap/funk/dance tunes got the mid-afternoon crowd to its feet while front man Rob B belted lyrics with niaximum force. As the night wore on, other crowd favorites included PM Dawn, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, Inner Circle, and the British stars of James. However, Crowded House deserves top praise for offering the best performance of the day. Playing pastchart-toppersandexpected hits from their album coming early next year, these New Zealand lads brought laughs and human pyramids to the hot and sweaty masses.

After hours of sun and near exhaustion, Peter Gabriel took the main stage in a burst of smoke and lights. With a non-traditional set list, Gabriel surprised fans with a multitude of world classics in addition to his own definitive tunes. Surprises were in store as Irish troublemaker Sinead O'Conner sang backing vocals on nearly every one of Gabriel's songs. He gave her center stage for a number of duets, pleasing some while irritating others. Hopefully O'Conner can headline a tour of her own in the near future. The '90s appear to be the decade of multi -band music concerts. It's nice to see both artists and band promoters taking an interest in giving the fans a full day's production. WOMAD differed from your ordinary music concerts in the fact that it had an underlying theme of peace and unity among all nations. Trying to solve some of the major problems of our world through the ears of music lovers is a noble effort in the eyes of anyone. I would like to know why it took promoters so long to realize the benefit of such events. In the words of Peter Gabriel, "Music is a universal language, it draws people together and proves, as well as anything, the stupidity of racism."

By Kristian Pope Sports Editor Despite last spring's nine percent cut in funding to some State Junior Colleges, Palomar Athletic Director John Woods says no athletic programs offered by Palomar will be subject to the axe that many other area community colleges have been faced with. "We have a commitment not to cut any sports," said Woods in a recent meeting. "I believe the school has a well-rounded philosophy that includes athletics." All athletic programs on cam-

pus have had their budgets cut but money remains to keep all in full operation. Some teams are being forced to generate extra monies through fundraising. While Woods doesn't forsee cutting teams at Palomar outright the prospect of deeper budgetary cuts do remain. As a preventitive measure to future cuts the athletic department has introduced plans to establish an alumni booster club at Palomar with hopes that former student athletes will contribute to the ongoing programs they once took part in. "If it's going to get worse we

better be prepared," said Woods. "We (Palomar) want to be proactive." WoOds believes that with the number of Palomar alumni still residinginNorthCounty, they may be able to contribute. "There are hundreds of them out there. We just need to get them." Athletics plans to send out a major mailing to all alumni asking to contribute. For a $10 fee, alumni can join the Palomar Athletic Boosters. Woodssaidthattheboosterclub concept has#occurred to the department prior, but it has never been of

high priority. Statistics from 1983-88 show an80percentretentionrateoffreshmen students in Palomar athletics. From 1988 to present, 66 percent of sophomores transfer to continue their education. "We're getting our students out ofhereacademically," saidWoods. "We're not only transferring them but we're getting them (scholarships) too." Woods believes that is wby the athletic programs are so integral to Palomar's offerings.

Receivers are ends to Comet rainbows By Kristian Pope Sports Editor Over the years Palomar's brand of high-power offense, and the system that runs it, has built a solid tradition at the receiving position.

Not taking anything away from Tommy Luginbill but it is fairly evident that 95 percent of the Comets offensive strength is due to his supporting cast.

This, in his senior year at Escondido High school, showed what his future held for him even though the end result sounded like what you'd think. "It was brutal," said the 28year-old Cesmat of his less than glamorousdebutasplay-by-play man almost 10 years ago. Cesmat graduated from Palomar in 1985 outoftheradio and television program and is now the radio voice for San Diego State basketball on San Diego's

X1RAAM690. "We set up a special section in the stands," recalled Cesmat of the make-shift broadcast locale at Es~ condido High school where he learned the rules of play-by-play on the fly. The set-up included setting up 10 television sets in a special section duri.1g Friday home games that folks would pay to enter just so they could enjoy the game both by viewing it and hearing it. Even though calling the games was an enjoyment, doing radio wasn't Cesmat's only dream. For this 6'10" center, dreams of playing basketball professionally were defmitely in the cards. Voted an All-American out of Escondido High by Street & Smith magazine, Cesmat was offered a chance to play for local Division 1 teams. But with two bad knees his

eyes fixed on his high school sweet heart, who would later turn out to be his wife, Chris, Cesmat opted to play for Palomar. But... "I went out for basketball my freshman year," recalled Cesmat in a recent telephone interview. "I just had a double-knee (operation). When I got out there I said to myself, 'Cesmat, what are you doing' ." The knees just would not hold up. So in came the radio. Having spent seven years in the radio business and now a bona-fide sportscasting star, Cesmat

believes the most lasting impression left on his style was developed at Palomar in the radio program- working hands on at campus radio station KKSM. ''My Palomar experience was critical because they let you be you, rather than push their thoughts down your throat," said Cesmat. "They let students grow and mature on the air. "If you're not good they don't get you off the afr, they let you learn," continued Cesmat. "Students are able to sit in different roles and learn to appreciate what they're all about." Taking advantage of Palomar' s opportunities was one thing, out Cesmatreceived the all-too important break every broadcasting upstart prays for, all at the ripe young age of22. "I saw a little bit of me at 20 in him," said Lee Hamilton, voice of the San Diego Chargers and host of XTRA's highly rated "Sports Nite." Hamilton was the man who reached out to Cesmat to give him

PASADENA LANCERS 0-2; Mission Cont., Northern Div. Last week: 20-16 loss to Fullerton

The Match-Up Palomar sent their application in for No. 1 team in the nation by dragging Chaffey College through the mud last week 59-6 as the Comets tallied an incredible 600-yard day on offense. However this week should be a test for the Comets in more ways than one in their first conference game of the '93 season. Pasadena, coming off a loss to Fullerton, will have six starters back from a one game suspension suffered during their frrst game of the season two weeks ago against Fresno. The Comets will have to face a hungry, ornery team in Pasadena, a team that Comet head coach Tom Craft believes is the best 0-2 team in the nation.

a hand in the field. "I believe in giving young people an opportunity," said Hamilton who met up with Brad in 1987. Like many new people on the air on an intimidating 50,000 watt radio station like XTRA, Cesmat was, well, a little nervous. "He was like all rookies," said Hamilton with a gleam on his face. "He was shaky and scared." Even though the debut was shaky, Hamilton says Cesmat showed a lot in the progress. "He's an aggressive.journalist," he said. "He has knowledge about a lot of things but had to learn what he didn't know. He's done that. That's a sign of being a pro." Even today Cesmat works to do more as the days seem to offer fewer and fewer hours. In addition to his full-time schedule at XTRA, in November, Brad will begin his third year of calling the action for Aztecs basketball. Doing the live play-by-play means traveling to places like

Laramie, Wyoming, Provo, Utah, Honolulu, Hawaii and Fort Collins, Colorado. But this is the time of year where Cesmat' s patience for the off-season pays off. "I have such a love for it," said Cesmat of the upcoming hoops season. "I love being out at practice ...talking with coaches." And the travel doesn't seem to mind him either. Or does it? "You know," he said, "I may complain about the hellish road trips but there's nothing like being there live in the Pit (New Mexico St.) or at Laramie." For now San Diego is just fine for Cesmat. "My wife and I like it a lot here," he said. "The way things are going in San Diego I'd like to be the play-by-play voice of an NBA team (pending approval of new arena in SD and an expansion team)." Definitely afar cry from Friday nights at Escondido High.

What to watch for

Craft cautioned that Pasadena is awfully talented and that their 0-2 record is not indicitive of their abilities. "They have great size, speed and ability," said Craft. Pasadena runs a variety of offensive looks including aT -formation two-three back set, and a one back set. Their offense is very diversified. They have a quality quarterback again in Demitrius Williams and tail back Stacy Townsend can run. The Comets major concern is running back Tony Burton, injured this week in practice, who is doubtful for this weekend. Quarterback Tom Luginbill (sore throwing elbow) should start but several key players on both sides of the ball have been down with the flu . All should be back by Saturday.

"It's part of a well-rounded education," said Woods. "We need to appeal to everyone in the community. We're a community college. Athletics is part of that." Woods looked to some of the largest institutions in the nation to illustrate how important athletics are to a school-even as small as Palomar. "Academically, UCLA has the
