Palomar planetarium opens again after two-year closure By John Conzemius
Staff Writer Coming soon to a galaxy near you: the Planetarium shows have rocketed back to Palomar College this fall. After being axed by budget restraints back in 1991, the popular evening astronomy shows are back and being expanded. "Up until1991, we were forced to only offer one show due to lack of funds," Jim Pesavanto, Planetarium director, said, "but now funds have been 'shifted' and we are able to run three shows a month." The first show, "Cosmic Calendar" opened last month, and, according to Pesavanto, it was a complete success. "I was really surprised at how well the show was received. At the Sept. 17 show, we were forced to turn away 88 people," Pesavento said.
This month's show, "Cosmic Catastrophes," as the name suggests, is a look at the many causes, both natural and man-made, which cause destruction to the earth, beginning with the dinosaurs back some 65,000,000 years ago. "(Cosmic Catastrophes) will allow the visitor to contemplate the events that have caused mass extinction in the past and to determine the probability of such extinctions occurring in the future," said Pesavento. 'The show will be told through a fictional account of several aliens from the planet "Sarton" who have left their mother planet and are looking for a new place to live. 'The aliens look into some of our environmental problems, such as deforestation and the 'Greenhouse Effect', and, after examining the Earth, make an educated decision as to whether or not they want to live
there," said Pesavento. ''This month's show also has three possible endings, depending on what the aliens decide," says Pesavento, "In one, they fmd

The flu vaccine provides immunization for three strains of influenza, but has no affect on other upper respiratory infections such as the common cold. SHS recommends that the following categories receive the vaccine: people 65 years or older; people with chronic cardiovascular, pulmonary or metabolic disorders (including diabetes); those with renal dysfunction, anemia, immunosuppression or asthma; residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities; and children receiving long-term aspirin therapy who may yet be at risk of developing Reye's syndrome following influenza infection. They also recommend the vaccine for any individuals who want to reduce their chances of acquiring the flu virus.

NEWS ASG sponsors voter registration drive By Judy Erikson Copy Editor
Heather Bass/Editor-in-Chief
Associated Student Government Senator Amy Curtis assists students Johnny Phan Oeft) and Eli Alsop (center) fill out voter registration applications this week. The ASG-sponsored drive also supplied students with informational pamphlets about Prop. 174, the school voucher initiative.
For the first time, Palomar's Associated Student Government held voter registration for students on campus this week Jim Coyle, ASG vice president of state affairs, said, "I hope this helps give students the opportunity to come out and register and get involved in the political system and practice one of their constitutional rights." Although the registration table closed Oct 1, the ASG will accept registrations through Oct 4 in the Student Activities office SU-7. By late afternoon Sept. 29, about 125 students had registered through the student government' s effort Coyle said he hopes for 500 by the end of the drive. "It's a small goal," he said, "but if we can get 500 of our students registered this week, it would be a big accomplishment It's realistic . If I get over 500, I'll be ecstatic." The Community College State Board System will award $5,000 to the community college that registers the highest percentage of their student body. The money is part of $55,000 from the California Teacher's Association to fight Prop. 174, the voucher initiative.
Newly registered student Jimmy Dunlap, a computer science major, said the on-campus registration is more convenient for him. "I'd like to be more involved with what goes on with the world today and I feel like everybody should do their part for the U .S.A.," he said. Coyle said thatathough every campus has its student apathy, community college students are not typical students in that many work full-time anddon'thave time to get involved in many campus organizations or activities. 'That's why I set this up," he said, "to give them the opportunity. That's why I fought so hard for 1380--the Student Voting Right Act of '94. I go up to Sacramento, and I wanted to bring back some of the excitement to students here." Assembly Bill 1380 would provide polling places on college campuses and allow students to register to vote at the same time they register. Coyle said he tries to spark interest in registration by offering information on the voucher initiative. An antiProp.174rally sponsored by theASG will be 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 6 in the courtyard of the Student Union building. The event will feature guest speakers and include tables with informational materials nn the initiative.

RESIGNATIONS
ASG hears concerns
Continuedfrompagel She said from serving on the student body she got a clear picture of how to run a government. "I feltlikeachampion for all the people," she said. Treasurer Grant Marcus was appointed the interim Executive Vice President Sept. 29 to help with administrative work and to oversee committees, Ngo said. Whitehead, who was elected to her senatorial seat last spring, resigned Sept. 27 for reasons similar to Martin's. "I feel I can give more to AASA (Afrikan-American Student Alliance) than ASG," she said. Whitehead said the club needs structure and standing committees so it can stand on its own when the current electoral board leaves in the spring. Besides her involvement on AASA, Whitehead is also involved with Phi Rho Pi, Palomar's speech team, and works part time. "It was a hard decision," she said, "but I felt I would be spreading myself too thin." Concerning the recent resignations, Director of Student Activities Jim Bowen said it was characteristic of community college students to suddenly find conflicts with their school schedules, work schedules or involvement with other organizations. "I've learned to live with it," Bowen said. "It's very disappointing but understandable. They accept these positions without realizing the time they demand." Ngo added, "I know their personal priorities come first" Bowen added that the resignations could not have occurred at a worse time, since the ASG is having their retreat this weekend where the officers generally get to know each other and plan the activities for the semester. Ngo, however, continued to be optimistic about the retreat. "Hopefully, we'll have a chance to do a little bonding," he said. "It won't slow us down at all." The three resignations leave the student government with two senate seats and a vice president position open. Any student who is interested in applying for these positions must go through the same process as for regular elections, according toN go. Those interested should go to SU-7 for more information.

By John Conzemius Staff Writer Student activist Robert Jenkins told the Associated Student Government Wednesday that some of the college's international students feel they are being treated unfairly by the English Department. "(The students) complain that certain instructors of English 10 and 50 simply pass non-native speakers of English with a 'C' rather than take the time to educate them properly," Jenkins said. Jenkins said by the time the students reach English 100, their instructors either continue the cycle of neglect or fail the students due to lack of English competency. "Many international students are paying a lot of money to anend Palomar College and cannot afford to retake classes," said Jenkins. Gene Jackson, dean of Arts and Languages, who also teaches English Composition classes, disagreed with the assertion that Palomar College English instructors disregard the needs of international students. "To say that instructors don' t care about students is completely erroneous," he said. "Teachers care a great deal about them." Jackson added that most of the trouble non-native speakers of English have with Palomar's English program stems from the fact that they are taking an English course where they should be taking an English as a Second Language course. Jackson also disputed the claims that English teachers pass students who have not completed their course in a satisfactory manner. "Teachers in the English Department cannot just smile and pass someone because they don't feel like bothering with them, ... he said. ''The teachers must abide by strict department grading regulations." Also at the meeting, Palomar's Faculty Diversity Coordinator Candice Francis updated the student leaders on her progress. Francis unveiled the Diversity Steering Committee's new "Leadership Through Diversity" October calendar. Included are diversity related conferences and meetings, historical milestones and cultural celebrations, as well as updates on diversity events on campus and in the community. The calendar for October, National Disability Month, includes the third annual International Festival from 10:30 am. to 5 p.m. Oct. 3 at California State University, San Marcos. Francis stressed the importance of student communication to makethecalendarwork. "!fit's 'NationalOne-EyedDogDay,' we want to hear about it," she said.

Program enables students to cash in
Netting the grade
By John Harasciuk
Staff Writer
Heather Bass/Editor-in-Chief
Hanging out in the science quad, Brian Peeples keeps his headphones handy to break up the monotony of rigorous studying.
Finally, a legitimate scholarship search program has come along that will give students a better shot at claiming their share of the 6.6 billion scholarship dollars left unclaimed in 1992, according to the Palomar student coordinator of the program. David Trevino is the coordinator of the new College Aid Sources for Higher Education or CASHE is a scholarship service offered by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship at Palomar College. What a student receives for their $15 dollar processing fee is a list of scholarships they are eligible for, form letters to send to prospective scholarships and the assurance that the program is legitimate and contains viable information. Fifteen dollars is much less than the $45 to $90 many commercial companies charge for comparable information. Trevino, who is also a Palomar student, said he found out the hard way that not all private companies are legitimate by being ripped off by two services last year. After his experiences with commercial search companies, Trevino said he decided to start a program at Palomar that students could trust. The CAS HE system has beyn around for 20 years, has been used by reputable schools such as Harvard and MIT for many years and is the only service approved by the Department of Education. The system matches applicants' backgrounds, m~ors , interests and academic achievements against 150,000 awards from more than 4,100 sources. Palomar's data is
updated every six months, ensuring applicants that the information they receive is current Trevino, who is vice president of Alpha Gamma Sigma, Palomar's honor society, said, "Does anybody have $500 to waste trying to find a reputable firm, when you can spend $15 and be assured of its authenticity." Some students have claimed they could find the same information the CASHE system provides in the library for free, but Trevino noted: ''The information is in the library, but I did it twice and it took me three weeks each time to get all the information that CASHE provides." The system costs $2,000 a semester to lease, but the Financial Aid office, which received a discount for the first semester and is using hardware on loan from the Counseling Department, has relied on a grant by tne Associated Student Government to keep it going this semester. According to Trevino, if it isn't deemed a success this semester, the program will be scrapped. Of the profits (if there are any), 25 percent is administered by the ASG and 75 percent is returned to oncampus scholarships. Trevino, who donates about 20 hours a week to the program, warned that students interested should act fast. "Most scholarship deadlines are between October and March," he said, "and one must take into account the tum-around time for the paperwork." The tum-around time can often add up to two months. The CASHE system is available to anybody, not just students, and anybody interested can call the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships at 744-1150, ext. 2751.

'The Right To Bear Arms'_
Gun ownership is causing our country to shoot itself in the foot
The only people with guns will be the criminals
By Christopher C. Holmes
By Michael Barder
Open Forum Editor
Staff Writer
Violence has become the centerpiece of our society. From Rambo to Schwarzenegger to ''Lethal Weapon," its glorification is paramount to the entertainment industry and civilization as a whole. At the same time, more and more people each day are losing their lives to what these movies proliferate - gun violence. The invention of the firearm is one of the single most heinous crimes ever committed against mankind. The sole purpose of a gun is to kill, maim and destroy. Unthinking and unfeeling, it carries out its task coldly and efficiently. The United States is the most heavily armed nation in the world. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, our country is the leader in deaths per capita due to firearms. The leading cause of death for males between the ages of 19 and 24 is at the muzzles of guns. Despite these facts, certain selfish private interest groups still continue to utilize their political muscle to keep guns in the hands of the masses. I am amazed when groups such as the NRA vehemently argue that it is the right of all law abiding citizens to own a firearm. These opponents of gun control base these assertions on the Second Ammendment of the Constitution, citing the quote, "The right to bear arms." This argument is ludicrous and immoral. The Second Ammendmentstates that, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Notice the first part of the clause: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state," This ideology has become obsolete. The United States no longer needs nor utilizes a militia comprised of private citizens. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson in no way meant to guarantee an individual the right to own an Uzi or a semi-automatic handgun. The United States Supreme Court agreed with these assertions in U.S. vs. Miller (1939), fmding that gun ownership is not an inalienable right. Opponents also argue that by implementing such strong measures the only sufferers are law abiding gun-owning citizens. This assertion is misleading. Statistics show that when confronted by an assailant, either at home or in public, victims who attempts to defend themselves with firearms will most likely be shot with their own weapons. Gun deaths at the hands of criminals make up only a portion of the total number of deaths from firearms. Accidents and suicides involving firearms have been a cause of grave concern in the past 20 years, as these numbers have dramatically increased. We must guarantee to our citizens their most important rights -- those of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Issue: Gun Control Should the government legislate action which would prohibit the sale and ownership of firearms? Gun-control is already in effect in a majority of states.
With crime on the rise nationwide, now is not the time to be inhibiting the people's basic avenue of defense, the ownership of firearms. Gun control advocates assert that we need to control the flow of guns to the public, because the ease with which they can be obtained is enabling criminals to commit more hideous crimes. This is absolutely not true, because when one looks at cities such as New York, which has a law making it illegal to own a gun, one can see the futility of gun control as a means to curb violence. I haven't seen a drastic decrease in crime in New York recently, unless the recent bombing of the Trade Towers is a good sign. They are using bombs now instead of guns. I call that progress. I can sympathize with those who have lost loved ones as aresultof criminals using guns, but at the same time it is important to realize that criminals operate outside of the law. This means that they won't be getting background checks, or registering their guns. Only law-abiding citizens do that. Saying that the high crime rate isaresultofthe legal sale of guns is like saying that drunk driving is a result of the legal sale of cars. It just doesn't make sense. In short, I agree with the idea that we need to get guns out of the hands of criminals, but waiting periods and background checks are not the answer. It would be more reasonable to curb the manufacture of assault rifles and automatic weapons, which are what most criminals use anyway, than to outlaw all guns, period. To see what the central argument of the issue is, let's take a look at the Second Amendment. It reads: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." When looked at in its true context, it is obvious that the founding fathers did not write this as a statement guaranteeing a fundamental right to own a gun. It is referring to the militia, which is now the National Guard. Although the Second Amendment does not guarantee the right to bear arms as the National Rifle Association asserts, there is still within the Constitution, the right to privacy and protection. In many cases that right can only be secured by the use of a frrearm. When one•s house is being broken into, or when one's life is being threatened, the National Guard is not going to be called out. Even if the police are notified, they rarely arrive in time to halt the attack. So, how is someone going to protect himself? Guns are the only divider between criminals and law-abiding citizens being harmed. So, therefore, the right of the citizens to own such protection should not be infringed upon.

Palomar making positive moves Ethnic diversity among campus faculty is one of the most important issues facing the Palomar College campus today. With such a large minority contingent among the student population it is evident that changes need to be made in order for the faculty population to reach an equal level of diversity as that of students. We at the Telescope feel that Palomar College, while still greatly lacking proper diversity among teachers, is moving in the right direction. STANDUP, Students and Teachers Actively Nurturing Diversity Unifying Palomar, and the new intern program are both innovative and imaginative ideas that
will, in the years ahead, prove to be beneficial to the entire Palomar College Community. We are confident in the ability and intent of President/Superin-
Staff Editorial tendent Dr. George Boggs to infuse the change necessary for this issue. The hiring of Candice Frances as Diversity Coordinator was a decison by the administration that will prove beneficial to the minority community of Palomar College. Critics who cry for immediate reorganization of teacher diversity
numbers are both unreasonable and deluded. Unjustly removing teachers from their positions in order to immediately fix thediversityproblem would only further the gap between students and teachers. We strongly disagree with the declarations of art instructor Robert Freeman that Palomar College and its administration openly practices discrimination and racism. The Telescope hopes that students and faculty attack this issue with a positve and open-minded attitude. Ethnic diversity among faculty, staff and students is an important issue and it will not be solved by a single-stroke of the pen or burying our heads in the sand.

San Diego · beaches were closed for over three months in 1991 due to pollution advisories.

Letters To The Editor ASG V.P. thinks Newbrough and vouchers are wrong Dear Editor, This letter is written in response to Dr. Michael Newbrough's letter. I feel Dr. Newbrough is not as informedonProp.174ashewould like everyone to believe. If the voucher initiative passes in November, community colleges will lose again. Private schools do not follow the same strict rules of public schools. Private schools can choose which students they want to admit and which students they want to expel, without due process for the students. The only subjects private schools are required to teach are reading, writing and basic math-
ematics. Any subjects other than those are left to the sole discretion of the administrators of the private schools (i.e. political, religious and ethnic views could be taught with as much emphasis as the instructors choose.) The comunity college budget will be cut by $343 million just to fund the 550,000 students already attending private schools. Prop.174willtakepublicfunds and transfer them to private schools. What this means is the community college system, within the first year will lose more than $72 million. In the first three years, the community colleges will lose more than $790 million. This is 29
percent of our budget Palomar Collegealonewillloseabout$5.7 million in the first three years. This would re~ult in more faculty and staff layoffs, elimination of student services, class closures and other cuts. Tocoverourlosses, community colleges would have to raise fees to a minimum of $34 per unit. As a student, I cannot afford to have my fees raised again. Our community colleges are too valuable. Vote no on Prop. 174. It's a risk we cannot afford. Jim Coyle ASG Vice-President
kayakers and beach enthusiasts, have proven that they will not sit by while their beaches are polluted and used as a toilet or trash can. In December, over 500 concerned surfers staged a paddle protest in Bolsa Chica, Calif. against a proposed marina, which would have destroyed miles of natural wetlands and beach. The organization also forced a major L.A. storm drain, which had been polluting the beach for years, to obtain proper treatment to be developed into a sewer system. The Blue Water Task Force is one successful program initiated in 1991 by the Surfrider Foundation that involves local residents monitoring their own beaches for coastal pollution. The task force is also intended to raise public awareness and to provide the data to ensure compliance and enforcement of clean water laws. For more information about joining the Surfrider Foundation, call 1-800-743-SURF or, for the San diego Chapter, 792-9940. Beachgoers have an op{J9rtunity to lend a hand in cleaning up their favorite hangouts at the October Coastal Clean-up Oct. 2.; Last year, in the largest cleanup in the United States, over 10,000 San Diegans collected 18,000 pounds of trash and 2,500 pounds of recyclable materials along the county's coastline from Oceanside to Imperial Beach.

Christopher Holmes The United States can no longer act as the world's police force. Sending our young men and women headftrst into hostile nations in order to force the acquiescence of the citizenry to our "righteous" dogma is and always has been an unreasonable idea. The inconsistent manner in which our government assumes the role of security guard is unnerving. We are willing to jump into the fray in Somalia so as to feed the starving but at the same time we stand idly by and witness the mass
slaughter of thousands in the European nation of BosniaHercegovina This is due in part to the U.S. government's policy of subconcious racism. The media portrays the leaders of Third World countries, whose brethren comprise the underpriveleged minority in this country, as unreasonable and uneducated maniacs who must be treated like untamed animals. While at the same time we cater to the demands of the genocidal heathens that lead the Serbian armies, never attempting to hinder their massacre. It is quite apparent that the resources and efforts being wasted by our government half a world away would be better spent on the homefront. After all, as the nation that leads the world in deaths due to firearms, we are still unable to even police ourselves.

ryalomar's Show of 'Daring and ~rilliance
Francis T. Crowley Staff Writer
presently assisting Hope with production are Anne Hathaway, majoring in television production, and Helen Betonte, an art and music major. They are guided by Anne Hohman and Charles Ingham, English department instructors. All involvedarehoping fora vast number of submissions from students this year. Betonte shows great enthusiasm when speaking about her upcoming worlc with the magazine staff. ''The prospect of including more artwork in this year's edition will kick it up to another level. Artwork is one of the ways for artists to express themselves. It is excellent being in print This is a way of promoting their artwork. Students need to take every opportunity to show their work. Being in Bravura will be a wonderful resume piece."
For 30 years, Palomar students have been writing, editing, publishing and enjoying Bravura, the college's literary and arts magazine. "If you could catch the mind coming out of the shower naked, that is Bravura," says Greg Hope, student coordinator. The name is derived from an Italian word meaning a show of daring or brilliance. The brilliance was evident to judges this summer summer at the Del Mar Fair when they awarded the magazine "Best of Show." The entire student coordinating staff may end up with 20 or more volunteers joining Hope in producing Bravura Other student coordinators

Hathaway spoke of students' misunderstanding the contents of Bravura. "Reading the magazine removed thoughts of any stuffiness I had . .Meeting the people associated with it removed all thoughts of pretentiousness. I really think this is a cross-section of student ideas and talents." The contents of the magazine are a direct reflection of the students' artistic make-up. Judging from past issues, unless Palomar's students have changed, themajority of submissions and therefore the bulk of the magazine will probably be literary. "Past issues have gone beyond the usual boundaries for college magazines," says Ingham. In the past, Bravura provided a forum for talented photography students at Palomar and the artistic expressions of literary students.
The student staff will spend the comingmonthsreadingandstudying submissions leading up to promoting individual pieces for acceptance. It's all part of the academic experience. Listening to Ingham, Hohman and Hope speak about the upcoming issue is an enlightenment to the artistic structure being considered. Whether it be avant garde conceptions or meter poetry, each submission will be judged on its own merit. The coordinators are looking for creativity. Braille, Spanish, art work, poetry and short stories are all possibilities. ''There is virtually no limit to considerations," explains Ingham. "Every individual walking on campus has a valuable voice," says Hope. "The 'daring' in the defmition of Bravura refers to a willing-
ness to make your voice heard and we recognize that." A part of the beauty in the brilliance of Bravura, he says, is that so many diverse voices have come together in one magazine. If an individual is concerned that their work is different from other people's, then that may bejustwhatBravuraislookingfor, he added. Ingham expounded on that thought: "Bravura needs a wide range of material; the conventional through to the unconventional. The submissions are not being judged by teachers or professionals, but by people who are not experts in any way." Its creators believe Bravura is a manifestation of Palomar, as an intellectual community. According to Ingham, "In Bravura, you will fmd Palomar and in Palomar you will fmd Bravura"

I could see the comedy team of Lewis & Clark as portrayed by Younghansand DeLillos up on the stage with the likes c f Burns &Allen and Abbott & Costello.
Fans of the movie version of ''The Sunshine Boys" will remember Walter Matthau and George Burns in the roles of Lewis and Clark. Palomar's version holds up remarkably well to Hollywood's. Younghans portrays Clark with all thestyleandcharmofMattbau' s interpretation without being a carbon copy of him. DeLillos took a totally new direction in the role of Lewis, but his characterization almost works better than Burns.' The set for "The Sunshine Boys" was very well-done. It effectively used the space to convey a run-down hotel. Too many times in plays, the sets look pieced together at the last minute. This is not the case with this set. The crew did an excellent job. Along with the set and the acting, mood music from the vaudeville era is played between acts. This adds to the whole experience. Larmer's direction bas the distinction of not looking like direction. The movement of the actors is so smooth, it's hard to believe that it was all laid out by someone else in advance. One scene in particular, where the two men are setting up the furniture for rehearsal, is so welltimed that it evokes laughter from the audience while still retaining the age of the cbarcters through their movement patterns. All in all, ''The Sunshine Boys" is a must-see for both fans of Neil Simon and those just interested in a good time. While older theatergoers might get nostalgic for the days of Vaudeville, younger viewers will find plenty to like about this fine play.

SPORTS Pasadena can't answer Comet comeback
Good Sports
By Kristian Pope
Sports Editor
Kristian Pope
More than score being decided on field nowadays Folks, what is going on in college athletics? An epidemic of fights between opposing players has erupted and it hasn't been pretty. And believe it or not, community colleges haven' t been left out. L.A. Pierce, whom the Comets destroyed two weeks ago 40-0, was involved in a fight with L.A. Harbor last weekend in which Pierce skipper Bill Norton, was injured. Pierce offensive line coach Pat Swift was actually hit with a crutch by a Harbor player. Both were treated at Harbor-UCLA medical center. Will someone please tell these kids that they're attending college to become future productive members of societynot future members of gangs. A little luck sure does breed a lot of confidence. Last weekend when Pasadena had the Comets on the ropes, up 18-7 in the third quarter, some of the Lancers coaching staff up in the press box were wondering why Palomar was ranked No. 4 in the nation. "Who have they beaten?" asked one coach as he mocked the Comets two prior opponents, Chaffey and L.A. Pierce. But when ail four quarters had been played and Palomar came back to beat Pasadena like a drum, those same coaches were still wondering. Only this time they were wondering, "what happened?"

Ladies look for winning way By Adam Landa
Staff Writer In beating Pasadena, Comet quarterbackTomLuginbillandhis offense did something no other Comet team has accomplished: beat City on their home turf. That was the first victory for Palomar at Pasadena in the 15 years each have played each other. Surprisingly, Tom's dad, AI Luginbill, coach of San Diego State's Aztec football program, was the head coach at Pasadena City 16 years ago. Big AI only coached there for one year, 1977, but made it worth his while. That year, he brought his team to an 11-1 record, which has stood as the-best single season win-loss record in Pasadena since 1974. This year Carlos Hernandez takes the helm as women's soccer coach replacing long-time Comet coach and pro-soccer player, Jaques Ladoucer. The job opening came about last summer when LaDoucer returned to his former team, the San Diego Sockers. The Sockers are currently in the CISL playoffs, two games away from winning their 11th championship. •

When winning comes easily-whether it's the cause of sheer dominance or plain luck-a dose of hard times can often tell the tale if a team is as talented as people say. Saturday Palomar was faced with that test and passed with high grades. Or make that high scoring. The Comets, ranked No.4 in the nation, put the motors into low gear on the road in a 42-18 come-from-behind victory over conference foe Pasadena City College. The victory was the Comets' (3-0 overall, 1-0 in Mission conference) first ever at Pasadena (0-3 in Mission conference) and only their second ever over the Lancers. More impressive it was the Comets' 11th win in a row dating back to Oct. 10 oflast year. For Pasadena, they were ready for a win. The Lancers had eight players back from a one-game suspension suffered in the ftrst game of the season. Palomar started the game with a touchdown pass from their second play of scrimmage for the second time this year. After a fumble recovery by sophomore Peter Vaeao on the Lancer's ftrst possession, the Comets took the ball over on the Lancer 20-yard line. Two plays later, sophomorequarterbackTomLuginbill foundAndreal Climon in the endzone for the game's ftrst score only 1:13 into the game. Following that possession, the Comets found the going tough as they were unable to score on their next seven possessions. Luginbill, who was unable to find his receivers open in the ftrs t half, fumbled the ball three times (only once turing it over to the Lancer's) and threw two interceptions while rebounding in the second half to record more than 250yards passing. The Lancers seemingly took all control in the game with a 95-yard drive down to inside the Comet 5-yard line at the start of the third quarter. One play later, Williams hooked up with tightend Peter Teichmann to increase the Lancer lead to 18-7. That's when the Comets came back to score 35 unanswered points starting with Burton's 18-yardrun with2:51 in the third quarter. Comet defensive back Greg Frazier's interception allowed Luginbill to fmd Climon with a 30-yard touchdown pass to to take a 20-18 lead. Jamie Reynoldson and Greg Frazier each recorded a safety for the Comets . Following the second safety, Andreal Climon returned the free-kick 66 yards for his third touchdown of the day.

Transition is an appropriate word to describe the '93 edition of the women's soccer team. Just two years removed from a 19-2-2 record and a No. 2 ranking in Southern Calif., the Comets enter their Oct. 5 season opener with a new coach and only one returning player. Carlos Hernandez replaces former coach Jacques Ladouceur, who now plays professionally for the San Diego :\ o:o:}to:o ,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,_,_,_,_, Sockers of the Continental Indoor Soccer League.

"We have some inexperienced people who sometimes can't handle one-on-one situations, but that's why we do the drills," he said. The only returner for the Comets from '92 is midfielder Lisa Week. She, although only with the team for one season, resides as the squad's elder statesman in a roster filled with freshman.

understand how to play at this level of soccer. As soon as we play a little, we'll be competitive." Many of the newcomers have promising potential, including Nicole Tidd, Kylene Dyson, Chris Ann Rosillo, Kristina Brown and Robynne Allen, the team's sweeper and "best d~fensive player," according to Hernandez. Hernandez belieyes the key to a successful season resides in the team's health. "We have some problems with injuries but if we can stay healthy, we ,.,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,. ')o:o: ,,:,,., can have a successful year," he said. "Wereally play well as a team." · The team's strength undoubtedly lies within its defense. Said Hernandez, "We play good defensive soccer. Everybody plays good defense." However, the Comets need to fmish their scoring plays and that includes putting the ball in the net. "We don't have a true goal scorer. We need to make up for that with some team offense. Every girl has to put their five cents in." One aspect of the game the Comets know they can count on is team unity Hernandez bas demanded from the inexperienced squad. The Comets open up play Oct. 5 at Orange Coast.

Palomar Sporting Life--Lady netters lose opener to Grossmont By Christopher C. Hobnes
Open Forum Editor
PALOMAR
COMETS 3-0; M ission Cont., Southern Div. Ranked No. 4 in nation. Last week: 4218 win at Pasadena
v
s.
ELCAMINO WARRIORS 1-2 ; M ission Cont. , Northern Div. Last week: 3 7-36 loss at Rancho Santiago
The Match-Up Palomar's win last week versus Pasadena was a come-frombehinder. This week's opponent, El Camino, hoped for similar fortunes but fell to Rancho Santiago 37-36 on the game's last play. The Warriors were national champs in '87 and are in a transition. Of their 23 starters, 15 are freshman. It appears Palomar will go 4-0 to start the season.
Offense El Camino has a very potent offense led by freshman quarterback Steve Sarkisian. Assistant coach Walt Justice likened Sarkisian to Comet quarterback Tom Luginbill in his freshman year. Sarkisian has a lot of targets in his offense. Justice says their team has a "multiple offense" and balances the running game with the throwing game "50-50." Fullback Robert Jenkins is a mainstay in the Warriors running game and is tough to bring down. Tailback Morel Ollis out of Hawthorne is a steady ball carrier. El Camino's leading receivers are tightend Damian Terrell and freshman Leandrew Childs. Childs, the state's leading longjurnper in high school, is also a fme punt returner and kickoff man. He's elusive, fast and a great leaper. The Warriors are among the leaders in Ca. in the kicking game. Punter Felix Perez is averaging 42.3 yards per kick and place kicker Joe Ferrow is accurate.
Defense Defensively the Warriors will have a tough time matching up with Palomar's offense. "We're very young," said Justice, "and many of our (defensive) players have not had college experience." The defense is led by sophomore cornerback Jermaine Ferguson, linebacker Frank Pedilla, and guard Shawn Barns who had 3 three sacks against Golden West The Comets should at all costs stay away from safety Dion Brumfield, who had 21 tackles versus Rancho Santiago.
Tale of the tape El Camino looks to even their record at 2-2 after a loss last Saturday. If the Warriors are up to the task Palomar may have trouble. "It'll defmitely be a challenge for us," said Justice. In preparation to (hopefully) keep the Comets under their impressive 47-point average, Justice is telling his young defense to "keep it simple, stupid." This game will be the third in a row on the road for the Comets where they occasionally can have troubles, as witnessed last week. Could it be ·the opposing school' s marching band that gets the Comets unraveled? If that's the case, think how bad Palomar would beat their opponents in San Marcos if this school had a marching band ....

The TELESCOPE
Women's volleyball opened their conference schedule on a sour note Wednesday, falling to the Grossmont Griffins three games to zero. The Comets played well early on but, after tying the score at ten, fell apart and never threatened
again. The Griffin attack proved to be too much for the young and undersized Comet team to handle as theyfell(16-11,15-4,15 -11). During one stretch the Griffins outscored the Comets 30-8. PalomarcoachTeriMcFarland was disappointed with her teams effort. ''They beat us because of all
our unforced errors and lack of concentration," said McFarland. "Our passing went down the drain in the second (game)." It was evident that McFarland still has not been able to find a solution at the setter spot. Freshmen Beverly Muller and sister Tricia seemed out of place and frustrated during most of the match.
Water Polo's six early wins equals all of '92 So far, the Comet Water Polo team has showed their inexperience, but also their potential to have a solid season. Palomar (6-6) placed third in the Mt. San Antonio tournament two weeks ago with a 2-2 record, falling to state powerhouse Rancho Santiago in a close match, 10-9. Rancho, preseason ranked No. 11 in the state, see-sawed with the Comets but went up by three goals late in the game. Palomar stormed back to tie it at 9, but with 21 seconds left in the game, the Dons scored squelching Palomar's hope at an upset. Palomar went on to defeat Santa Monica 7-6 for 3rd place honors. Saturday the Comets played at half-speed placing 4th at the San
Diego Mesa tournament. Several all scorers with nine goals. Brad Comets played despite having the Casper, Brian Sorenson and Trevor flu. Grimm each had six goals. In that tournament, the Comets beat Rio Hondo 85 but lost to Cypress, Mesa and Grossmont. In the EVENTS THIS WEEK Grossmontgame, Palomar Cct. 1-8 trailed only 8-4 at the half but the Griffins scored 9 Football unanswered points to win 2 Saturday 17-4. at El Camino; 7 p.m. "(They) played pressure Water Polo defense," said coach Jem 1 Fri.
