Board approves faculty hiring policy New policy emphasizes minority recruitment By Mireille Samson
Editor-in-Chief After a lengthy discussion, relieved applause erupted at the Governing Board meeting Oct. 12 when the body unanimously approved a new faculty hiring policy. After more than two years of research, preparation, drafting
and revising by all facets of the college, the document was approved even after two board members raised objections. The policy details the procedure the college should follow when hiring new faculty members. Trustee Dr. Rita White said the policy, as written, does not directly involve the Governing
Board in the process of choosing and hiring new faculty . She said the technical assistance team, who was sent by the state Chancellor's office to review Palomar's minority hiring last spring, recommended that the board be more involved in the actual hiring of faculty to ensure sufficient diversity. White suggested that a trustee observe the interview that prospectivecandidates have with Dr. Boggs, president/superintendent, since the board is legally responsible for the new employee.
The president of the board disagreed. "We hire George to carry out our policies," Harold Scofield said, referring to Boggs. "Weareoverseers-westand on the side and we direct," he said. Dr. Robert Dougherty, another college trustee, said the board should stay out of the selection process that is the responsibility of the Selection Committee al)d the Joint Selection Committee.

ASG seeks registration priority for themselves Suggestion also made to give priority t~ new students over bachelor of art's degree holders By John Conzemius
Staff Writer The Associated Student Government passed a resolution Oct. 13 which would give current and future ASG members priority in registering for their classes. The resolution passed by a 7-4 vote, with Vice President of State Affairs Jim Coyle,Vice President of Social Affairs Sharon Hubbard, and Senators Dan Rankin, Mike Royce, Mike Bums, Miquel Samaniego and Heather Martonik in favor.
ASG President Denny Ngo voted against the resolution, and he was joined by Senators Jenni Naegele, Amy Curtis and Matthew McNamera. Proponents of the resolution said it was necessary in order for the ASG to be able to plan their schedules around meeting times. Royce, co-sponsor of the resolution, said it would benefit all the students of Palomar College, who will have a greater opportunity to run for the ASG. Ngo disagreed, saying that it defeats the whole purpose of running for student govemment."We don'trun to serve ourselves;
we run to serve the students," he said. Before the resolution can take effect, it must be approved by the Palomar College President' s Advisory Council. In other news, Hubbard announced the findings of a survey which asked former Palomar students why they chose not to register at the college this semester. Of the i90 surveys which weresentoutto students at random, 41 were returned with the following results: • 41 percent said they could not afford to attend Palomar College. • 37 percent cited personal reasons, i.e. attending another college. • 14 percent registered but were late in payment. • 7 percent had work conflicts.
Huboard also noted the growing tendency of students with bachelor of art's degrees not to register as such, but to audit classes. Thus they would pay $15 per unit instead of the $50 which is applied to students who hold bachelor of art's degrees. ASG Faculty Adviser Jim Bowen suggested that the college adopt a new policy in which first-time students receive priority registration over students who already have bachelor's degrees, in order to give new students an opportunity to attend classes before they close. "There may be B.A. students who are filling up a computer class just for personal enrichment, while a new student who needs the class for a computer science major cannot get in," he said. ·

NEWS Java Daze are limited Bid for lease too low for Palomar By Christopher C. Holmes

Seeing large, visually impaired student Tricia Farrell reads a book with the help of the visual tech machine for the first time.
College improves vision By Barbra Dijak
Campus Beat Editor Palomar College's Disabled Students Programs & Services has acquired new visual aid equipment which will benefit visually impaired students. The machine, called a visual technology machine, enlarges the printed word, enabling visually impaired students to read books and papers for classes as well as helping them take tests. According to Ron Haines, director of DSP&S , this new machine, which was donated by the Patrons of Palomar College, is going to be located in the library since they have been
without one for two years. Since 1975, three such machines have been donated and two have been purchased. These machines are worth approximately $1,000. The advantage of these machines versus the older models is that these are more compact. Many visually impaired students have these machines at home, which they say make their lives easier when doing school work. However, for those who do not have a visual technology machine at home, they must rei yon Palomar College to supply them with the means to do school work in other ways.
Beach party emphasizes drug-free atmosphere The Associated Student Government and the Comet Center for Prevention invite all students and staff at Palomar to attend the All College Beach Party from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 16. The drug and alcohol-free event features complimentary food, music and instruction on Hobie Cats,
canoes and sailboats. Tickets to the event are free but limited. Transportation will be provided by the school from the San Marcos campus. Persons interested in attending should call 744-1150 Ext. 2599 or go to the Comet Center in SU-10.
Palomar's popular coffee spot, Java Daze, is facing eviction by the end of the semester due to the inability of campus officials and owner Wyatt Loo to come to a fmancial agreement. Loo claims that Palomar officials have unfairly raised the rates on his lease, making it impossible for him to maintain the small espresso shop on campus. "They are more than doubling my lease. Other schools only charge half of what Palomar wants," Yoo said. When Loo opened his stand a year ago it was under the terms of a temporary one-year lease. This semester Palomar opened bids to the general public. The only bid received by the school was that ofLoo. According to Bryant Guy, contracts and special projects manager, it was rejected because it did not meet the minimum bid requirement. "We felt we could receive a better bid for the space," Guy said. The terms of the new lease demand that Loo pay Palomar at least 28 percent of his profits after taXes, almost three times what he is paying on his original lease. "I was the only bid. They are just being greedy," Loo said. Loo says that he attempted to meet the college halfway, but he was stonewalled by administrators.

"I offered 20 percent of the profits. It was not enough," Loo said. Student David Mathis, a parttime Java Daze employee, has started a petition in hopes of keeping the coffee shop on campus. "This (JavaDaze)has become a part of Palomar," said Mathis. Mathis said he feels school officials are trying to force out pri-
vate vendors . He cited the enormous lease costs faced by all vewndors. Mathis pointed to the fact that the cafeteria has begun to offer such items as ice cream and coffee that directly compete with campus vendors. "Palomar College is trying to getamonopoly." said Mathis. "I'll do whatever it takes to fight this."

Fifth graders give it the old college try By Corinna Maltzman
Staff Writer and James Singer
Staff Writer Don't be surprised if you see fifth graders running around campus next week to consider their future college goals. For the third straight year, fifth graders at the San Marcos Elementary School have been invited to spend a day at Palomar College. "The purpose of this project is
We hope to create an awareness of college opportunities. Minerva Gonzalez, director of financial aid and scholarships to teach children that college is a real and viable opportunity for them," said one of the project's organizers, Minerva Gonzalez, director of financial aid and scholarships. The award-winning project, "I'm Going to College," was developed three years ago at San Jose State University. The campus visit is designed to sirn ulate the frrst day of college. At 9 a.m. Oct. 22, the students will meet at the clock tower where they will receive their studentidenLification cards. From there they will go to the financial aid office and pick up their "scholarship"
money. Following a trip to the bathroom, the next stop is the bookstore, where the students will stand in line to receive backpacks, dictionaries, notebooks and college T-shirts. Then the children will be given atourofthe200-acrecampus, with lunch at noon, before classes begin. Between 1 p.m. and 2:30p.m., the students will be broken into groups to attend two of several classes being presented on art, television production and other basic topics. Local businesses and individuals contributed to the project. The largest contributions came from the San Marcos Community Foundation and Palomar College Foundation, who each gave $2,500. The project, which was piloted in 1990 at Edenvale Elementary School in San Jose, has grown to include four sites this year. "We hope to create an awareness of college opportunities and to instill in them their potential as future college students," Gonzalez said. "At an early age, we need to build their foundation of self-confidence and basic knowledge of necessary college preparation skills," she added. Carolina Cardenas, student affirmative action coordinator at California State University, San Marcos, will also be helping with the project.
Corrections: In last week's ASG story, ASG Senator Jenni Naegele speculated that if the Student Union Referendum passed, construction could begin in 1995. "Construction" should read "fee increases." Additionally, Walter Gommel was misquoted in the Campus Voice section. His reply to the question, "Should creationism be taught in our public schools," was "I don't think so."
Influenza, which can "knock you off your feet," according to the Student Health Newsletter, should not be ignored. Student Health Services wants to remind everyone that all strains of influenza can become endemic in closely populated areas such as schools. The Center for Disease Control recommends that all citizens prepare for the flu season, which begins in October and lasts about six months . Through projection and research performed by the CDC, this year's vaccine is designed to protect persons from the Bei Jing, Texas and Panama strains of the flu. The Bei Jing Type A, has already broken out in Texas and Louisiana. According to Lisa Howard at SHS, Palomar students and staff are taking this year's flu season seriously. "Yesterday's response was excellent," said Howard. "The frrst day for flu shots and we gave out about 125 shots. Today we will issue close to 100 shots." Howard explained what is involved in getting a flu shot from SHS. "Come into SHS and read and sign a consent form," she explained. 'There are a small number of people who shouldn't receive the vaccine. Under normal circumstances, five to 15 minutes is all the time someone will need." The spread of viruses that cause flu is primarily through direct person -to-person routes, coughing and

Diesel Technology Club resenting the Parliamentarian Society. Those committee members brought up the issues of the amount of the monetary requests and whether or not each ICC club should do more to raise money themselves, instead of requesting money from the ICC. Neeley said her club's position was that last year the Pre-Physical club made a request for funds and told the ICC that they would not come back this year and ask for further funds but would instead make a strong eff01t to raise their own funding. A Diesel Technology Club representative summed up the feelings of most council members when he said, "We're here to sponsor each other and help each other.

Beth Post, the Drug Prevention coordinator, reminded council members of the various contests available to campus clubs. Interested parties can contact Post at SU-10. Robert Jenkins announced that the tickets for the"All College Beach Party" are now free. Persons who purchased tickets may request refunds at the ASG office. Jenkins stressed that only people serious about attending the party should request tickets because the number of tickets available are limited.

This small detail has inspired many groups such as the 3-year-old Cannabis Action Network or CAN, to attempt to get the United States to legalize the use of marijuana.
Seldom has a substance held harmless by so many been feared by so many others. Marijuana is a recreational drug for burnedout ex -hippies and successful business people. It is considered the gateway to harder drugs for young people .. I have lived and worked with several people impacted by the substance. I can't say it's too pleasant to live with someone who can't remember what you've told him several times. Or someone with mood swings that leave you wondering when it's safe to speak to them.
My question is why is marijuana (or pot) illegal in the first place? William Ruzzamenti, aspokesmanfortheDrugEnforcementAgency. recently revealed that the regular number of pot smokers in the United States has dropped from 20 million in 1968 to 9 million today. This all happened after most myths about the drugs have been disproved like it can affect a user's short term memory, immune system, brain cells and motivation. We obvious! y aren't living in a drug crazed society, controlled by marijuana.
I can't scientifically prove cause here-just making interesting observations. I tried smoking pot myself in high school, back when you could get a whole bag for $10. It never did a thing for me. It's one of those things you have to build up in your system before you get a buzz. Strange, when I want instant gratification, I want it now! Sure, I think those few individuals who need marijuana for medicinal purposes should get it.
The fact is that the legalization of pot would permit law enforcement to cut back on the money they spend on catching the common pot dealer and allowing government to tax the selling of pot like alcohol or tobacco and do a little deficit chopping. It seems that some influential politicians agree with me. Conservatives such as William F. Buckley and Milton Freidman praised the effects of legalization of pot, and Attorney General Janet Reno wants to end mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines for low-level drug offenders in an attempt to alievate some of the pressure on the court system. In California, the penalty for an adult (18 and over) possessing less than an ounce of pot is a misdemeanor $50 ticket. Before deciding to risk smoking pot, be aware that the state has developed a way to make money from the drug industry called forfeiture. Forfeiture is a neat little law that politicians have come up with that allows the police to sieze any house, car, boat, etc. where any amount of an illegal drug is found. Once they seize the property, they get to auction it off to the highest bidder. Imagine how much revenue the government could make if the could have collected a tax from the 60 million Americans who have tried marijuana. Basically, I feel that unfounded public fears and the taboo that surround a natural plant, used by many human cultures throughout the centuries, keep our government from legalizing the use ·of it. Somehow, I don't think Bill Clinton wants to be known as the president that didn't inhale, and then turned around and legalized marijuana.
But the true medicinal worth of marijuana is hard to determine because studies are difficult to control, according to Gordon McGuire, director of the University of California, SanDiego, ambulatory care pharmacy. Andmarijuanasmoking can be a dangerous thing. What about the smokers who don' tknow what they're getting? What about those who smoke marijuana poisoned by government · sprays? Marijuana itself is getting stronger and stronger. Smokers, beware. Dr. Bob MacFarlane, a Drug Enforcement Agency consultant and addiction specialist with the Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center at Sharp Cabrillo Hospital, reported two lung cancerpatients in their20s (one died) who smoked only marijuana.
TOPIC Should the United States government legalize the sale and use of marijuana for both medicinal and recreational purposes?
McFarlane has observed low sperm count, decreased hormone levels, shrinking testicles and birth defects. Men can also develop female characteristics, such as swollen breasts. Charter Hospital's program coordinator Dan Escher said many pot smokers exhibit lack of motivation, procrastination and lack of stamina to meet personal goals. Although Escher admits thqt not everyone who smokes marijuana goes on to hard drugs, he states what so many already know: "I never saw a crack or heroin user who didn't smoke marijuana."

ASG is serving own needs The ASG' s passage of a resolution( ASG meeting Wednesday Oct. 13) that would grant all Associated Student Government members priority registration status is a vain and unethical attempt to create a "privileged" class by student government members. We the Telescope staff feel that this action is one of self indulgence by the Associated Student Government. By even considering such a resolution the ASG has displayed a disrespect for the entire Palomar College Community. It is apparent by checking voting records that most of the students of Palomar College are less than interested in the daily events of the ASG. Yet, this is no excuse for the ASG to conduct themselves in such an irrespon- . sible manner.
Our student government has been unable to overcome the hurdle of counterproductivity this semester. Members are more concerned with procedure and bureaucracy than actual service. The ASG was not constructed for the
Staff Editorial purpose of providing a few individual students with a vehicle that caters to their own personal needs. By granting themselves such powers the ASG is furthering the gap between them-
selves and students. They have in effect declared themselves the rulers of the student body, with certain benefits and privileges accompanying these titles. The Telescope adamantly urges the President's Advisory Council to reject this resolution; and in doing so make a statement to future members of student government who may hope to use their office to serve . their own best personal interests. We agree with the assertions of ASG President Denny Ngo who was quoted as S;J.ying," We do not run to serve ourselves, we run to serve the students." The ASG is a student representative body whose main task is to serve the students of Palomar College, not to make life easier on themselves.
Letters To The Editor
Russel and Dijak spark controversy Handicap Response Dear Editor As a disabled student of Palomar College, I was alarmed at and disturbed by the social commentary written by Barbara Dijakforthe Telescope the week of Oct. 8. In my opinion and in my experience, the staff and students here have gone above and beyond the call of duty to accomodate those students with special needs. I believe it is time the disabled people of the community stop making excuses for themselves and their lack of motivation to succeed. If a disabled person truly desires success, nothing will stop them. Many times disabled people form their own barriers and limitations by refusing to be flexible and by focusing solely on the injustices they feel they are being forced to endure. The disabled are known for saying they do not want to be treated or judged any differently than a normal person. If this statement is ever going to be taken seriously then the disabled community must stop feeling sorry for itself. I am physically disabled and I understand what a challenge it can be. I want to live up to the challenge by living my life. Rather than waiting for someone to come along and make my life easier and more accessible. Respectful! y, Amy M. Curtis/ Political Science
Dear Editor, Thanks to Barbara Dijak for calling attention to some of the obstacles that people with disabilities face on this campus. Awareness of this population (1000 students) needs to grow. Some of the points brought out are misleading however. 1) The campus facilities are indeed problematic; we are on a hill and some of the buildings are forty years old. How-
ever, last year the entire campus was surveyed in order to determine what changes needed to be made to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The resulting Self-Evaluation indicates all areas which need correction by the deadine of 1995. The college is moving in the right direction. 2) A statement is made that few classes are offered for students with learning disabilities. These students have indicated to us that by and large they would rather have support services than special classes, so we keep these classes focused on a few essential areas. Nonetheless, 13 sections of classes apprpriate for students with specific learning disabilities will be offered in Spring 1994. The world ill never be accessible enough, but we must keep working in that direction. Ron Haines/Director Disabled Student Programs and Services

in the election? Even without Wednesdays meeting time written in bold type somewhere underneath the heading of Job Description, the other students that ran for Senate seemed to get the necessary information as to the meeting times of the ASG. Michael Russel has recently received much publicity from the Telescope over all this, in which he has blamed everybody but himself for his lack of ability to obtain information. I do agree with Mr. Russel on two of his recently published statements; yes this is embarrasing, and it is a "silly ridiculous thing". Heather Martonik/Psychology

Meat wastes our natural resources Meat is the biggest waste of energy in the world. With every ounce of meat you eat, you're contributing to the diminishing amount of natural resources worldwide. The production of meat supersedes all other U.S. crops and uses up more than its share of natural resources. The actual energy needed to produce meat is astounding. To produce 1lb. ofbeef, you need 16lbs. of grain and soybeans and 2,500 gallons of water. Comparatively, growing grains, fruits and vegetables uses less than 5 percent as much raw materials as does meat production. Over a billion people could be fed by the grain and soybeans consumed by livestock in the United States in a single year. It's clear that producing meat uses up a lot of natural resources, but eating meat wastes energy too. The Second Law of Thermodynamics dictates that you obtain more energy by eating lower on the food chain. Animals cannot make their own food for energy, so we need to get all our energy from plants. The creatures we eat--cows, chickens, pigs-use up part of the energy they absorb from grains and vegetables, and we get the leftovers. Therefore, we get more energy firsthand from eating plants, which make up the lowest part of the food chain, and we obtain less secondhand energy from eating herbivores or carnivores. While the reasons clearly show that meat is wasteful in terms of energy consumption, many people fear they won't get enough protein if they don't eat meat. Nutritionists say protein is present, in one form or another, in all foods. You can get protein from grains, dairy products and even vegetables. You can even find the type of protein normally found in animal flesh in legumes and beans. However, meat consumption is so ingrained in the minds of Americans that eating meat tends to be more habitual rather than a conscious choice about what to put in our bodies. We can't squander our natural resources on producing a crop that does not give back what it takes. If we don't devote more land and energy to producing crops that feed more people, the starvation rate in the world will only continue to spiral upward.

When I first heard that 20th Century Fox was making a movie based on the '60s show "The Beverly Hillbillies," I thought, "Oh great; first 'The Good Son,' and now this ... " Much to my surprise, "The Beverly Hillbillies" was one of the best films based on a '60s TV shows I've seen. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't as good as "The Fugitive," but it wasn't exactly 'The Addams Family," either. Almost everyone that owns a
TV set knows the basis of "The Beverly Hillbillies." Jed Clampett (Jim Varney) strikes oil in his Arkansas swamp and becomes a billionaire overnight As the theme song reminds us, "He packed up his truck, and moved to BeverlyHills that is ..." The '60s premise still manages to adapt to today's ''90210" audience. Some might say the movie adapts better to the '90s than the Clampetts adapt to Beverly Hills. While the premise remains the same, the movie has its differences. The '60s Clampetts never had to deal with freeway shootings, Zsa Zsa Gabor or cellular phones. But today' s Clampetts not only deal with these obstacles, they do so well and in character. As far as I could see, there was only one problem with this ftlm: its cast This was in no way their fault, it's just that the original cast was superior in some respects. Buddy Ebsen will always, to me, be Jed Clampett. Therefore, Varney's interpretation caught me off guard simply because the two men are so different. While Ebsen was so laid-back in the series, Varney still has that "used car salesman" persona about him. Likewise, Erika Eleniak as Elly May and Diedrich Bader as Jethro lost something in the transition to the big screen. For instance, when Max B aer' s
I ethro thought he was an Air Force general just because he bought a uniform at a thrift store, his performance convinced you that he really believed it; that somebody could actually be that dumb. Unfortunately, Bader's portrayalofthesamecharacterlooked fake, almost like he didn't believe the words coming out ofhis mouth, hoping that if he keeps smiling, maybe nobody will notice. But these few differences were balanced by the excellent performance of Cloris Leachman as Granny. In some scenes, she's almost a twin of Irene Ryan, and you can tell she was having a lot of fun with the part Dabney Coleman (Mr. Drysdale) and Lily Tomlin (Miss Hathaway) turn in excellent performances as well. Sure, these cast observations arebitnit-picky, but that's a compliment to director Penelope Spheeris and her cast and crew. There isn't a lot to find fault with. Even I forgot the TV cast after a while and became comfortable with this new version. Remaking '60s television shows as feature films seems to be the trend these days. ''The Fugitive" and "The Addams Family" were only the beginning. "Bewitched" and "The Brady Bunch" are in production. With "The Beverly Hillbillies," it's nice to see them do it right.
Despite appearances, 'Fate' just in fun By John Conzemius
Staff Writer A man, holding a crucifix microphone in his hand, addressed a group of followers south of the border Oct. 9 asked one simple question: "Are you ready for some ... EVIL?!" Some kind of strange satanic cult? Not quite. It was actually the return of Danish heavy metal band Mercyful Fate, performing together for the ftrst time in nine years at the Iguanas in Tijuana. The concert, promoting the album "In the Shadows," marked the return of vocalist King Diamond to the group after they split with 1984's "Don't Break the Oath." Mostly, however, the concert
concentrated on some of Mercyful Fate's golden oldies, such as 1983's "Curse of the Pharaohs" and a 12minute rendition of "Satan's Fall," which contains the immortal lyric, "Bring me the blood of the newborn child." Which is not to say the King does not have his sentimental side. One of the new tracks, "Is That You, Melissa?" is a heart-warming account of brotherly love to his dead sister from beyond the grave. Well, maybe not all that heartwarming, considering he's the one who put her there. All of this, I suppose, would not sit too well with the Fundamentalist Christian crowd, the idea of a vocalist screaming "All Hail Satan at the top of his lungs to a
more than receptive audience, but the band's detractors would do well to realize one simple truth: anyone who insists upon taking an aging man in ridiculous Halloween garb seriously is himself a moron. Speaking of which, it was talk show host Geraldo Rivera who once vilified King Diamond in a two-hour special on the effects of "Satanic Rock'n 'Roll" on our youth, insinuating that Diamond was a bad influence. Give me a break. King Diamond is no more a bad influence on his fans than talk shows like "Geraldo" contribute to the social retardation of the American society. Then again, maybe the King is a bad influence ...

No. 1 ranked Comets win, remain undefeated ~ Second quarter performance key in win over Rancho Santiago
By Kristian Pope
Sports Editor
Kristian Pope
If boxing matches are decided with rounds, the Comets 5138 victory Saturday against Rancho Santiago College was decided with quarters. For Palomar, (5-0) a four touchdown second quarter was all they needed in dismantling a tough Dons (1-2-1) team at Excalibur Field in San Marcos. Luckily for the Comets, the second quarter was all they needed as they pulled a disappearing act in the third and fourth quarters. Both mental mistakes and uncharacteristic play in the second half allowed ....--------------.,
So just who saJ5
CometsareA-No.l? So the Comets are ranked No. 1 in the nation again by the JC Grid-Wire. This is the second time Palomar has had that prestigious ranking this year. Three weeks ago they dropped to No. 4, even though the Comets did nothing to relinquish that No. 1 status. It seems the pollsters change their mind on who is No. 1 like they change their socks. And just who are these people at the Grid-Wire? Mt. SAC offensive coordinator Tom Maher has a good idea. "The rankings are silly," he said. "They're put together by a bunch of old men with pot bellies." Another poll is the California poll compiled by Fred Baer of the JC Sports Bureau in Northem, Calif. As witness to the ridiculous way in deciding who is who, Palomar, who was No. 1 in the nation at the beginning of the season, was amazingly No. 2 in Southern California behind Saddleback College. Said Comet coach Tom Craft: 'They're done by different people with different interests." All-cliche award: In our talks this week with football players and coaches concerning the team's game tomorrow against Mt. San Antonio College, four out of six felt this game was "for all the marbles." God love 'em. More notes as we approach the big weekend: Palomar is searching for its second national title in three years, having taken a share of it in 1991 with Northeastern, Oklahoma. Tom Luginbill passed Anthony Calvillo of Mt. SAC for second on all-time JC passing leader with a 341 yard day against Rancho Santiago and will look to the air again.

coach Tom Craft was happy with the win. Even more than you'd think. "I'm very pleased with how we played," said Craft. "Rancho Santiago is a very good team. They will contend for the (Mission Conference) title." The Dons boasted two of the top five rushers in the state, Donny Bladow and Ernest Wilson. The Comets were able to snuff out the Don running game with a planned attack. "We had a survival plan," said Craft. "We got eight or nine guys on the defensive front to stop the run. We banked on our secondary to cover receivers man to man." Craig Person, who has three interceptions on the year, picked off a pass from Don quarterback Gabe Garcia. To that point, Garcia had yet to throw an interception all year. Craft was especially pleased with the Comets' performance in the second quarter when they scored virtually at will, •See GAME, page I 1
Comets sense time is now to win championship By Kristian Pope
Sports Editor While championship bowl games are normally decided in January, the No.1 ranked Palomar Comets, in search of a second national title in three years, face No. 2 ranked Mt. San Antonio tomorrow in a match-up of the nation's two best JC football teams. And even though it's only October, the result could very well determine the 1993 JC football championship. Palomar (5-0) and Mt. SAC (50) ranked No. 1 and No 2 in the nation, respectively, bytheJCGridWire, will meet in a conference affair at 7 p.m. But overshadowing that fact are the championship possibilities based on a win or loss for either team. Feelings this week on how important a win is to either team's hopes at a national· title ranged from "this is the game of the century" to "no big deal." "It's a vital game to winning the national championship," said in-
jured Comet receiver Daryl Hawkins. "They're No. 2, we're No. 1. If we beat this team, it'll carry over (No. 1 status) to the end of the year." Other Comets expressed the same sentiment. Craig Person, defensive back, was on the team last year when a defeat to unranked Orange Coast spoiled Palomar's attempt at the championship. In '93, he and his teammates have one more opportunity. "It's the game of the year right now," said Person. "The whole team knows it. Everybody wants this (game) the most. You can tell during practice. Out of all the weeks, this is the one." Even the new players, the freshmen, sense the hunger the Comets have to win the title. "I'm a freshman this year," said 340-pound offensive lineman Bradley Fita, "but I want it bad. That's my dream. That's my goal." While the players are excited, the coaches did their usual job of down playing the game while put-

It's only a Wednesday afternoon practice for the Palomar water polo team, but you'd think it wastheclosingmomentsofachampionship match with all the hooting and hollering that's going on. Why all the fuss? A blistering shot has just ricochetted off the fingertips of Comet goaltender Andy Watt. Another
spectacular save. As the season progresses, it is getting harder and harder for shots to get past Watt, who gives the team an element they missed last year while winning only six games - strong goaltending. "Andy's played really well," said coach Jem McAdams. "For a freshman, he has really good poise." As a senior at Poway High last year, Watt led the Titans to their

first ever CIF championship. This season, he's anchoring a squad that should double last season's win total within the next week. Although the Comets (9-9) are giving upnearly10 goals per game, McAdams insists Watt has played well. "We've had some break-
downs on defense, particularly in our interior defense and that's led to some of the goals. But Andy's held up well," he said. Watt and an improved defense paid dividends in Palomar's ftrst game against a conference foe, beating Saddleback, 6-4. That came on the heels of two losses, a 16-7 blowout at the hands of Long Beach and a heartbreaking 8-7 defeat to Fullerton in sudden death overtime.
According to McAdams, the defense is starting to come together as a unit. "I think defensively we are improving. It's improving as far as consistency is concerned," he said. McAdams is setting his sights on a successful conference season. ''To do that, we must win the close games." With Watt manning the nets, the Comets have reason for optimism.

5-0; Mission Conf., Southern Div. Ranked No. 1 in nation. Last week: 5138 win vs. Rancho Santiaeo
Can it be true? Has the unthinkable really happened? The 1993 World Series favorite Atlanta Braves have lost to the Philadelphia Phillies. After the final pitch of the 1992 World Series it was assumed that Atlanta and Toronto would be meeting in the Fall Classic again in 1993. Since then the Braves and Jays got stronger, with both teams adding two potential Hall of Famers. All of Atlanta's dreams were shattered by the Phillies, a perennial cellar dweller and a team that looks more like a company softball squad than a major league baseball team. The 1993 World Series will feature two of the better offenses in recent memory, with the Jays being one of the most balanced of all time. The deciding factor between these two teams could come down to the pitching (or lack thereof) of the Blue Jays. Here is how we at the Telescope feel that the two teams match up:

The Match-Up The ·coaches say it's just another game. But the players from Mt. San Antonio and Palomar colleges say it's their game of the yearand rightfully so. The JC Grid-Wire has the Comets ranked No. 1 nationally and the Mounties No. 2 making it an obvious showdown of the country's best. Who ever wins has the inside track at winning the all elusive national championship. Palomar is searching for its second national title in three years, having taken a share of it in 1991 with Northeastern, Oklahoma. So much has been said of the build-up between these two teams. Here is what both teams will bring to the table Saturday:
Comets on Offense Offensively the Comets shouldn't sway from their usual all-out attack. Tom Luginbill passed Anthony Calvillo of Mt. SAC for second on all-time JC passing leader with a 341-yard day against Rancho Santiago and will look to the air again. But the much ballyhooed Comet receiving corps is still hurting. Daryl Hawkins is out and Andreal Climon is probable. Climon played hurt in last week's game but none-the-less managed to score one ID. Running back Tony Burton is the conference's leading rusher. Luginbill must watch out for the wicked Mountie defensive front. In the flrst four games of the year, the Mounties have managed to knock every opposing QB out of each game. Freshman defensive lineman Jimmie Irby has 12 sacks for Mt. SAC. Their best linebacker is Marcus Alridge. The secondary is anchored by sophomore Billy Ivey. The entire defense, while young, is quick, active and extremely aggressive.
Mounties on Offense
Starting Pitching As mentioned before, this is the Jay's achilles heel. Juan Guzman, Dave Stewart, Pat Hentgen and Todd Stottlemyre can all be brilliant or mediocre, but usually the latter. The Phillies Terry Mulholland, Tommy Greene, Danny Jackson and Curt Schilling are all dependable pitchers. Phil lies left/right balance is a big plus. ADVANTAGE: Phi/lies
Tale of the. tape Both teams match up well and it should be, as the5' say, a barnburner. Look for high scoring. Whoever makes the most mistakes will lose. Palomar raked them last year in the Orange County bowl game 45-28 mainly by blitzing. Look for the Palomar "D" to have a big day. We know the Comets will score points, and lots of them. But if they hope to come home victorious, the defense must step up to the massive challenge ahead of them.
divisional play, and three of the teams in our division are undefeated." "We're not stressing, 'we've got to win, we've got to win' this game. Next week we'll have to give the same speech." Bothteam'sadmitthey'reready to play. "Our players are jacked up," said Maher. "We're very excited." · Making the game even more intriguing is that it's a rematch ·of last year's Orange County bowl
Baserunning
Phiidelphia Phillies
The Jays led the American League with 170 steals. They had flve starters with double figures, led by Roberto Alomar (55), alltime stolen base king Rickey Henderson (53), and Devon White (34).This is a deflnite weak spot for the Phillies, with Lenny Dykstra (37) and part-time player Mickey Morandini (13) the only real running threats.
Chicago White Sox
Bullpen Both teams are lacking in at least one department in the bullpen. TheJays have a dominant closer in Duane Ward and solid long relief in Danny Cox and Mark Eichhorn, butnodependableset-upmen. The Phillies have great set-up men in Larry Anderson and David West, but little long relief and an erratic closer in Mitch Williams.
ADVANTAGE: Blue Jays
Fielding
ADVANTAGE: Even
Hitting The Blue Jays boast flve potential Hall of Famers, including the greatest leadoff man in history with Rickey Henderson. John Olerud, Paul Molitor, Roberto Alomar, and Joe Carter can all carry the team if need be. While theJay'soffenseis one for the books, the Phillies are no slouch when it comes to hitting the ball. Along with being one of the best offenses in the National League, they are also one of the most versatile. Jays have a better line-up top to bottom, but they will also be hindered in Philadelphia without the DH. Expect Molitor to play third base, with Ed Sprague taking a seat on the bench.
The Jays have the best second and baseman (Alomar) centerflelder (White) in the game defensive! y. They are also solid all the way around, except possibly in Philadelphia, where they are expected to start Molitor at third. Molitor has had throwing problems playing third for the Brewers in the past. Simply put, the Phillies don't fleld well. They have weak arms in the outfleld and turned the least double plays in the National League (123). ADVANTAGE: Blue Jays
Prediction Toronto'slineup,speed,anddefense will overcome Phi !lies pitching and chemistry. Toronto seems to be destined to be the flrst repeat series champion since the 1977-78 Yankees. PREDICTION: Toronto in seven games
. - Volleyball beats IVC, Wrestling places second
TilE star is quarterback Cody Lee Smith, a transfer from Division I Pacific. For this offensive lineman looking athlete (6foot-3, 230 pounds), Smith is, according to several coaches in the Mission Conference, the best quarterback to come along at the community college level in some time. Smith, a freshman, is the highest rated QB in California at 171.5. He is third in the conference in yards-per-game (264.3) and second in total offense(280.3). Mountie offensive coordinator Tom Maher says Smith is big and thick. The scoring threat comes from all-purpose back Lenoard Green, a former Maryland player of the year in 1990, is the state's leader in total offense with 1,054 yards (210 avg.-per-game,lO ID's). The Mounties have an outstanding group of second-year receivers,MarkButler(l7-190, 31D's), Steve McHenry (17-247, 21D's), and Roddy Layton (12-207, 31D's).

game in Costa Mesa. "They were supposed to beat us really bad last year," said Craft. The Comets, behind a planned blitzing defense, rolled over the Mounties 45-28. The win put the Comets at No.6 in the flnal season nationalrankings. The loss dropped Mt. SAC to No. 25. "Since we beat them last year they'll beflred up," said Hawkins. "They'll have a big home crowd and probably a band. It'll be a big game for them." ·
The Palomar College women's volleyball team thrashed visiting Imperial Valley College three games to zero(l5-2, 15-12, 15-3) on Friday Oct. 8 at The Dome. Sophomore Jayme Bardeen and freshman Beverly Muller won seven straight and nine straight points on service respectfully. ''The other team had a poor service (eception and our serving was

busting out for 28 points. ''That was the best I've seen of defense and offense in one quarter ever," said Craft. But he had to admit the mistakes did add up. "The score ts very deceiving from what it could have been," said Craft. On the Dons flrst possession in the second half, the Comets helped Rancho's drive to the end zone with needless penalties including a roughing the kicker flag that kept the Don's drive alive. · After Aaron Aguilera scored on a20-yard pass play with 5:57 in the third quarter, Comet running back Tony Burton let the ensuing kickoff roll out of bounds. But the ball stopped just short of the sideline · when the Don's Mike Castleberry recovered it on the 10-yard line. The Dons turned that into a touchdown when Juan Garcia ran it in from flve yards out. The Comet players though were never worried. "We had a few mistakes," admitted receiver Daryl Hawkins, "but with that much of a lead we weren't going to lose. We weren't worried."
real tough," said Comet Head Coach Teri McFarland. "The whole team played really well to win a fast match," said McFarland. The Comet wrestling team continued to display great promise by finishing second in the Sacramento City Tournament this past weekend. Palomar improved its ranking
to No. 4 in the state. WrestlersChrisHafer(150lbs.) and Atti Toth (177 lbs.) captured flrst place in their respective weight classes in leading the Comets to their best fmish of the year. "I think we can still do better and we were not at full speed," said Coach Joe Ismay. -Meredith Presler & Christopher C. Holmes
