Comet Week, which has always been funded by the ASG, was reached after a meeting on Oct 18 between herself and members of the Inter -Club Council. She said personal differences arose which were not resolved. After the meeting, Hubbard sent ICC Chairman Aaron Klapka a letter announcing the ASG's intention of dropping Comet Week, which was formed by a consensus of ASG members. Hubbard invited the ICC to
take over the project. The ASG will not fund Comet Week, according to ASG President Denny Ngo. The funds will be redirected to Homecoming. While Hubbard relinquished control to the ICC, two ASG senators volunteered their services. At the Oct. 20 ASG meeting, Senators Mike Royce and Matthew McNamera offered to take over Hubbard's responsibilities as Comet Week Chair, but ASG President Denny Ngo said that was not possible '

WOMAN OW representatives so-and-so and so-and-so string up the T -shirts at Palomar that abuse victims painted themselves to promote awareness Oct.19.
They hung in the afternoon breeze, contrasting the peaceful surroundings; poignant displays of the tragedy of violence. Homemade T -shirts serving as a symbol of the abuse their creators have suffered. The Clothesline Project came to Palomar College this week. The survivors of rape, childhood sexual abuse, and battery, poru-ayed violations ag-ainst them by painting T-shins in stark colors. Red, pink and orange stand for those who have been raped or sexually abused. Yellow, brown, beige and tan were painted by women who have been battered by their partners. Survivors of incest or childhood sexual abuse painted blue and green shirts. Women battered because they are lesbians used purple. White is for those who have died. WOMANOW, Women's Organized Movement toward Autonomy NOW, hosted tl1e Clothesline Project, hoping to draw attention to abuse against women. The project, which started in the eastern United States, is also being presented at the Plaza Camino Real mall in Carlsbad. A combinatjon of social agencies and tl1e local police deparunents are working with women's groups to draw attention to the plight of women. Rebeka McDougall Malter, the president of WOMANOW, described the significance of tl1e shins. "Each one is created by a survivor, except the white ones," she explained. "Palomar students made a majority of tl1c T-shirts shown hanging here today ." •See CLOTHESLINE, page 3

Red Ribbon Week starts Oct. 23 Californians for Drug-Free Youth, Inc. will be coordinating its annual Red Ribbon Week between Oct. 23 -31, to support a drug-free lifestyle. Throughout California and across the nation, individuals and communities display Red Ribbons to show their enthusiasm toward creating a Drug-Free America. The Red Ribbon Celebration is designed to alert people to the problems related to the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. It also supports community prevention coalitions and helps to organize and support healthy drug-free activities. The Red Ribbon Campaign started when a Drug Enforcement Administration Agent was murdered by drug traffickers in 1985. Then, in 1986, Californians for Drug-Free Youth Inc. sponsored the ftrst state-wide Red Ribbon Campaign, and invited every citizen to wear and display red ribbons to demonstrate their support for a healthy lifestyle. Palomar students are asked to demonstrate their commitment for
a Drug-Free America by wearing red ribbons during the week-long celebration. Free red ribbons will be available at the Comet Center for Prevention (SU-I 0) and Student Health Services between Oct. 25-29.

NEWS Campus patrol officers escort students to safety By Roger Fregoso Campus Beat Editor Making way for the $2.2 million transit center, the Campus Patrol building was relocated last week, officials said. The new office, which is now situated in a portable trailer, is adjacent to the main entrance in front of the Howard Brubeck Theater. The building was the first to be moved in preperation of the longawaited transit center which crews began construction on this month. Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd Mahan said he has no reservations about seeing it be demolished. "I
\
think it's long overdue," be said jokingly. Despit the office's relocation, Mahan said regular operations are not being disrupted. "Patrol officers will continue with business as usual," Mahan said. One service that Campus Patrol offers to its students is an escort service. Officers are available to walk students to their vehicles if students are uneasy about walking to their cars at night, Mahan said. Students requesting an escort can contact the Campus Patrol office beforehand to let them know what time they need to be escorted to the parking lot.
Mahan added that new permit machines were installed in Parking Lots 9 and 12. The machines dispense day-long parking permits for 50 cents. ''The machines will avoid the hassle of students having to go to the front of the school, pull out onto Mission Road, then back into the students' parking lot area," Mahan said. The parking lots also have phones for emergency situations. "When a student picks up the phone, they will automatically be connected to any patrol officer on this campus with a CB radio," Mahan said.
Student activist garners a\Vard KKSM News Director Patty Lane reads from a newspaper over the air for the station's new reading program for the visually impaired.
News is opened to blind By Judy Erickson Copy Editor Palomar's radio station plans to add another dimension to its broadcasting, and to the life of the visually impaired. When they get permission from the Times Advocate, readers will begin reading the paper from 8 to 10 a.m. Sun.day mornings. Disc jockey Ralph Malaker said the station plans to read from every section of the paper, focusing on national and local news. "We're hoping to ftll what we perceive as a void in the visual
services here, " said Malaker. "We'd just like to serve (the visually impaired) in such a way that we all benefit." The void Malaker refers to is the fact that North County listeners often have trouble tuning in KPBS's reading service. Malaker said the project has been in the planning stages since mid-July. "I made the commitment at that time to take on the show and produce it," he said. Anyone wanting to audition to be a reader should call the station at ext. KKSM or Malaker at 2946553.
By Barbra Dijak Campus Beat Editor The recipient of the Charles Hollins Memorial Scholarship, a student activist on campus, said she never set out to win this honor. "When people suggest that I might be good at something or that I might be able to make a change in certain areas," Jenika Whitehead said, "I usually try to do it just to see what I can accomplish," she said. "People carne to me and suggested that I should apply. I didn't go in search of it." Hollins, the man for whom this annually awarded scholarship was named, was a counselor at Palomar who died in 1992.

Besides counseling Palomar students for 12 years, Hollins wrote an autobiography related to the struggles of African-American youth in the United States. Whitehead was presented with the award at the Non-Commissioned Officer's Club at Camp Pendleton last month. Approximate] y 200 people were in attendance, including the Oceanside Chief ofPolice and three Palomar instructors. The qualifications Whitehead met in order to be chosen included having a minimum 3.0 grade point average (her grade point average is 3.1), and being active in school and community activities. She also had to write a one-
page autobiography . Whitehead, a speech communications major, said she has always taken an active role in both her school and community. She is vice president of The Afrikan-American Student Alliance, a competing member of Phi Ro Pi, Palomar's speech team, a former ASG Senator, and the director of communications for Palomar's new club, The Parliamentarian Society. Upon graduation from Palomar, Whitehead plans to transfer to Clark College in Atlanta, where she said she hopes to graduate in four years with a master's degree in Speech Communications and Theater Arts. She said that after graduation she wants to work with young children. "I want to inspire young kids to act," she said.

Nearly 50 shirts swayed in the breeze. The lone white T -shirt stood out as a reminder that Palomar students are not immune to violence. The few black and grey shirts showed there are also men who have been abused. McDougall-Malter continued, "It's two-fold. It's an educational wake-up call and a healing experience for women who are survivors of this abuse."
The shirt painters decorated their shirts with statements about the abuse, sometimes writing to the perpetrator. One message from a molestation victim reads: "I was a beautiful child. I wish my parents would have seen that." "These shirts are here for victims to use and write on," McDougall-Malterexplained. "It's a powerful use for the victims, for them to say 'I'm a victim.' "

because they had not been confirmed by the ASG to head the event. "Since a majority of the ASG has decided to drop (Comet Week), they cannot just pick it up," Ngo said. As a result of a personal survey she conducted with Palomar students, Hubbard explained that she had planned Comet Week toreflect an "Arts of the School" theme, with campus clubs presenting shows. "(The students) told me that they objected to last year's 'swap meet' atmosphere, saying it was 'horrible,"' she said. "I felt it wasn't right for' the food vendors to detract from the preformers."

problem. PROJECT STAND-UP was a result of that pledge, stated organizers. According to Ruzich, STANDUP has helped make progress in ensuring racial diversity by helping to pass a faculty hiring policy and educating more than 50 faculty members on racial diversity. She said this has heightened awareness of the problem, and should contribute to finding a solution. The history and accomplishments of the project were the main points of the presentation given at the Denver conference. The presentation, which was given to more than 350 attendees, included a run-down of the development of the program, said Anthony Guerra, Co-Chairman of STAND-UP. Several elements were discussed. Jenkins and Prado-Verduzco presented an account of the student protests and their effects on the organization of the program. Guerra discussed the faculty involvement of the project, while Dr. Boggs presented the administrative and Board of Trustees re-

sponse to the operation. Reginald Owens, President of the North County Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, also attended the conference, speaking on the advancements of the project and the need for racial unity, according to attendees. Dr. Boggs said he enjoyed attending the conference. "The entire week was a very positive experience," he said. "The presentation seemed to be very well received." He added that educating other colleges of the progress made by this project was an important step in helping to relieve the problems associated with racial diversity in our nation's community colleges. Ruzich's impression of the conference was equally positive. "We all had this euphoric feeling, like we were brothers and sisters. We were all reaching for a goal." She recalled how during the project presentation all the members remained standing to emphasize the importance of STANDUP. "It was so emotional to have everyone feel this unity," said Ruzich. ''Unity is the formula for our diversity effort."

Local businesses go to school Palomar reaches into industry, draws workers back to complete degrees By Francis T. Crowley Staff Writer One of the many ways Palomar College helps educate the community is through the Contract Education office. Erin Rose, the temporary administrator of the Professional Development for Business, Industry and Government program, explained how the department ties college to private industry. . "What our office does is go out to the businesses and industries in our district and offer contract classes," she said. "The employees take the classes and the employer receives a better employee. Some of the fees are offset by grants that the employer can apply for," she added. In most cases, the classes are given at the job site of the employer. In a few cases, classes have been held on Palomar's campus and paid for by the employer. One of the largest participants, Hunter Industries in San Marcos,
have contracted English as a Second Language classes that teach about 150employees twice a week for 12 weeks at their job site, said
'Our hope is that we can educate enough of he employees out there.' Erin Rose contract education administrator Rose. Rose said after a lengthy set-up procedure, the second-year program has been growing rapidly, reaching out to the surrounding community. Southern California Edison, Hewlett Packard and Pennysaver
are a few of about 20 companies who have used the program. 'The company is happy with what they are getting," Rose said. 'The employees are getting what they need from the classes, and the college is getting what they need. "Companies are learning it is better to retrain their good employees instead of letting them go and hiring new people." The fmal goal of the department is to be self-supported, after its grants and loans are paid off, Rose explained. "The college itself has been a great help to this office," Rose continued. "The different departments, in granting instructors. I just can't say enough about how, helpful that is in making this a successful office." "Our hope is that we can educate enough of the employees out there that they come back to school and continue their education," Rose said of the future of the program. "Wewanttheemployerstocontinue retraining their employees. Then maybe the employees will get that degree they didn't have a chance to finish back when they were in school."

FOR Is Free Trade the Answer? Signing of NAFTA will only accentuate the problems posed by Latin America
New trade pact will prove beneficial to all sides in the years to come By Christopher C. Holmes
By Francis T. Crowley
Open Forum Editor
Staff Writer
The North Ame1ican Free Trade Agreement is precise! y the shot in the arm the United Stales needs to revitalize its ailing economy. NAFTA's basic intent is to repeal, over the next 15 years, all tariffs, duties and laws that currently impede the flow of trade between the U1ree North American countries. By doing this, U1e United States will benefit economically, socially and ecologically as well. • Economically, this plan will only help U.S. companies climb into new and uncharted ten·itories. A previously untapped market of workers and consumers will be opened up to our, at the moment, fledgling business community. This, in turn, will aid the dying Mexican economy, which at the moment is in dire need of a boost. A tremendous amount of jobs, which were previously unavailable, will be opened up to U1e starving citizenry. Opponents argue that by opening up the borders we will increase U1e flow of illegals into our country. This is preposterous. The whole reason that the flow of illegals is so high is that UlC state of the Latin American communities' economies has been so disastrous. By providing these people with jobs and helping lhem revitalize their own counu·ies' economy, we will also be naturally stemming U1e flow of immigration into this country. Nobody is going to leave economic security for financial uncertainty in another counu-y. Opponents, such as lhe Siena Club, also argue that this pact will lead to ecological disaster. They fear Ulatmany U.S. companies will move souUl of the border to take advantage of Mexico's extremely lax environmental laws. These assenions are unwarranted. Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Cotruis has promised a massive overhaul of the current system to comply wiUl stricter standards.

Arts & Entertainment Editor "MST-3K" fans - this is it: the weekend that holds us all in intense anticipation. The weekend that our beloved Joel finally goes home to Earth and pals Gypsy, Tom Servo and Crow are joined by a new co-host. If the preceding paragraph made little or no sense to you, you're not reading it wrong, you've just probably never seen Comedy Central's "Mystery Science Theater 3000." "Mystery Science Theater 3000," or "MST-3K" for short, is the brainchild of Joel Hodgson, a Minneapolis comedian who has spent the last five years heckling bad movies with his robot pals, passing the time while marooned in space. You read it right. He's marooned in space with a couple of wise-cracking robots, t11e aforementioned Tom Servo and Crow, forced to eternally watch really bad, and I mean really bad, movies with only his sense of humor to keep him sane. At least, that's the premise of "MST-3K." Wit11 an estimated 700 wise-cracks raging from references to U2 songs to "Planet of the Apes," its writers really know how to add spice to some of t11e biggest wastes of celluloid ever to come out of Holly-

Last summer, Hodgson announced that his character Joel Robinson (renamed in reference to the family in "Lost in Space") would finally be going home to Eart11 on the show's lOOth episode.

Are you in the mood for something different this Halloween season? Well, different is the only way to describe Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas," which comes to theaters iliis week. Burton, producer and creator of "Nightmare" was last seen picking up the pieces from his failed TV series "Family Dog," which didn't live up to audiences expectations after · two years of waiting. How ironic it is, ilien, t11at after one animated failure, Burton comes back with another animated product even more ambitious and anticipated ilian "Family Dog." "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is a project that Burton has kicked around his office for U1e last 11 years. It is an uneven piece that maybe should have been kicked around for a few more. "Nightmare" uses stop-motion animation as a medium to tell its story. In this form of animation, poseable puppets are built and moved from pose-to pose and filmed with each minute movement. Little-by-little, ilie
filmed movement creates tlle illusion of life when played back at regular speed. The film uses many new techniques to bring stop-motion animation into the '90s.

'Malice' keeps viewers guessing By Francis T. Crowley Staff Writer
IIR
"Malice" is a superbly structured thriller which appeals to the viewer's need for unpredictability. The changing plot and anti-climaxes keep the viewer alert as to what may come about in the coming scenes. The acting by several renowned artists is more than sufficient to pull the viewer into the Boston suburb college town atmosphere. Bill Pullman plays a mediocre college professor who quickly learns investigative work on the job as he investigates a rape/murder. He is joined by Nicole Kidman, as his wife and Bebe Neuwirth as the investigator. The town is then introduced to the good doctor, Alec Baldwin. Each of the characters seem to have one problem or secret which they
are wreslling with in their consciences, which may or may not have something to do with the plot. Communication from the directortotheaudicnceconceming character roles becomes a question on the viewer's mind: Are you going to show us a uspect? Tell us, are we watching campus patrol or an inexperienced police department? There is plenty of lighthearted levity inserted to keep the characters believable and to remind us that .we are not watching a Freddy or Jason flick. True to life, there's always a joker in the crowd. This part is best illustrated by Anne Bancroft, as a world-weary mother with a fondness forsinglemaltwhiskey, which may or may not have something to do with the plot. Within time, the movie changes into a malpractice case against the charming, gifted doctor, Baldwin.
He suffers from nothing more than delusions of Godhood. He did a great job of looking suspicious 1 throughout the movie. That could be my bias against other equally handsome men, but I'm not sure. Answers begin to come flowing in faster than insurance claims. Bill Pullman's character soon tracks down his transient wife with help from his mother-in-law, Bancroft. Answers to life slip from Bancroft's lips as her head slides down her arm onto the table to rest with her bottle. Kidman shows there is no match for her love of the almighty dollar. Her cunning rudeness and powerful negotiations technique give way to her inability to cope with small misfortunes, as she loses her temper on a real dummy. Does this have something to do with the plot? Do yourself a favor and see this movie yourself.

ASG President acts in selfinterest
Out of the Inkwell Steve Troop
'Real World' is living in a dreamland When was the last time you got a job offer without applying for a position and with no more effort than lying on the couch all day eating Cheetos? Well, if you're on MTV' s show "The Real World," this could happen almost every week. Exactly whose idea of "real" is this anyway? For those of you who have missed this less-than-amazing show, let me fill you in. MTV has given seven "regular people" free reign over a multi-level beach house, rentfree with the idea that they can film their real-life problems over a 13-week period. These people are supposed to be regular "real" people like you or me, with "real" problems in a "real" setting. Nothing could be farther from the truth. These seven people are not "real" by any stretch of the imagination. There's a rock musician, a model, a singer, a surfer, a cop, a stand-up comedian and an out-of-work country western singer. I haven't seen this many caricatures of American society since "Gilligan's Island." Supposedly, MTV picked these people because they would generate enough conflict to make the series. But when they don't, MTV steps in to mix it up a bit. For instance, John, the country western singer, barely gets up from the couch. Even the other roommates complain because he doesn't have a job. He gets up at noon and never does anytl1ing to get his career going. Sounds like great stuff to film, right? Well it is, because MTV gets him interviews with music producers, auditions to sing, etc., giving him not only free rent in a beautiful house, but a way for him to become a professional singer without having to apply himself. As a cartoonist, I know that I' II never get anywhere unless I submit my wares to industries that may want to hire me. But, would t11is be different ifi was on "The Real World?" Would Disney executives be pounding down my door, waving contracts and pens in my face, ifi wasn ' tas interesting as MTV wanted me to be? I feel t11at "The Real World" is misleading to tl1e audiences that watch it. People contemplating whether or not to leave home might be influenced by some of the things t11ey see on tl1e show. It is presented in almost a documentary style, so many people may regard it with the same clout as a Jacques Cousteau special, when in reality, it mightbeclosertoabetterepisodeof"Three's Company."
By Christopher C. Holmes Open Forum Editor Denny Ngo, current ASG President, is out of touch witll the student body and seems more concerned with main taining the powers of his own office than of serving the needs of the Palomar College community. This was no more evident than on Wednesday at the ASG meeting. Ngo, anticipating an uproar over the ASG's decision to drop its involvement in Comet Week, simply sidestepped the issue during the early portions of the meeting, promising to address it as the final item of the agenda. When the time came for the item, however, Ngo ramrodded a motion for adjourn-

Injustice reigns supreme in L.A. The justice system in this country is falling apart at the seams. Our courts have been reduced to public opinion forums in which trutll is no longer the important issue but a hopeful by-product. There can be no oilier explanation tllan pure insanity as to why Damian Williams and Henry Watson, the two men whose images were so ominously captured live on national television as they ruthlessly beat truck driver Reginald Denny, were acquitted on counts of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon . The defense, which brilliantly swayed jw·y sentiment, claimed that tlle defendants were "swept up" by the rioting taking place. This is pure absurdit y. In t11e fust place, full-fl edged tioting had not gotten underway when Williams and Watson decided to throw a brick through Denny's truck window, drag him out into tlle street and beat him to near death .

The fact is, though, that every single ASG member in attendance stayed for the discussions that immediately followed. Ngo simply squelched any chance for the ASG to "officially" debate the issue. By adjourning, Ngo shrewdly negated the issue. The entire discussion that followed was purely superfluous. As one ASG ·senator said, "Everytlling that was said after the meeting concerning Comet Week meant nothing." I ask myself, whose needs is Ngo serving by carrying out such actions? Obviously not those of tlle students.

Secondly, what type of message are we sending our citizens when we say its alright to take part in such mayhem and violence. Are the courts saying "It's OK, if everyone else is doing it?" Supporters of the two defendants were overjoyed by the verdicts, shouting "justice has been served."Whatformofjustice are they speaking of, revenge? We at The Telescope are appalled and shocked at the outcome of what seemed to be such a self-explanatory case. We agree that the fust Rodney King trial verdict was no less an injustice, yet two wrongs do not make a right. No form of justice was served by allowing Williams and Watson to walk away without suffering t11e proper repercussions for their actions .

Clinton sets forth weak pollution goals Imagine a beautiful world where companies voluntarily spend millions of dollars to clean up the environment. Sound unlikely? President Bill Clinton has faith this fantasy will magically materialize and heroically save the world from global warming . In a down-to-earth effort to reduce air pollution tllat contributes to the warming of the earth's atmosphere, the Clinton administration announced Oct. 18 that they decided to propose voluntary controls rather than mandatory ones. The plan will depend on individual companies making their own choices as to the amount of reductions to institute. I'm sorry, did I hear correctly? Are we really going to entrust the very institutions that have polluted the environmentfordecades to getachangeofheartand suddenly begin respecting the eartll? While environmental groups had high hopes for this proposal to take a strong stand against air polluters, it fell short of making even a dent in tlleir smokestack. Clinton is promising to take steps that will reduce pollution-induced global warming by about 110 million tons of greenhouse-causing gases by the year 2000. It sounds good, but this would reduce emissions to 1.5 billion, still a hefty amount of pollutants, in my opinion. Tile plan also neglects to adopt stricter directives such as higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars. Currently, motor vehicles produce ozone, t11e main component in smog. Although ozone occurs naturally in tlle atmosphere where it protects us from ultraviolet rays, when it is produced at ground-level, it causes damage in vegetation and lung damage in people. The plan also proposes that another 5 million tons of emissions will be eliminated by increasing tlle efficiency of some household appliances. So, will a blender that the government must spend thousands on to develop so that it can puree better on less electricity really help reduce carbon dioxide and other pollutants? This proposal is inherently weak and, while it may save the U.S . money initially, it is rendered ineffective in tlle long run. A stronger proposal is needed to fund and enforce mandatory regulations on air pollution if we are to prevent furtller global warming. The Telescope welcomes all letters to the editor.

SPORTS Wrestling coach has Olympic spirit By Kristian Pope
Sports Editor
Roye Oliver
Players come and go through the system without much fanfare. But when a coach who's taught those players, leaves, it's a different story. Palomar's coaching staff will have a big hole in it come next week when wrestling instructor Roye Oliver embarks on a trip to Colorado Springs, Colo. to become
the new developmental coach for the United States Olympic Wrestling team. The 36-year-old Oliver, after serving as an assistant at Palomar since 1985, will leave for greener pastures next week. "It's something Ididn' texpect," said Oliver, a graduate of the University of Arizona. "I never thought I'd be able to represent my country like this. It's a great honor." Oliver will serve as a develop-
mental coach for various age groups ·ranging from 15 to 25. His responsibilities will include helping groom the nation's most promising wrestling talent who one day hope to compete for the U.S.A. ''I'll be in charge of giving the young athletes their proper training," said Oliver, who will oversee the nation 's Olympic hopefuls. "We have to keep pace with the rest of the world." To say Oliver's presence at
Palomar will be missed is an understatement. "He's one of us, he's a teammate," said a dejected Chris Hafer, the Comets' team captain. "He's a great motivator for us." Added Comet Robert Mooney: "He's the main voice of the team. During practice he's the main voice heard." "You don't replace a person

The match-up marked the first time the nation's No. 1 and No.2 teams have met in the regular eason in the past 30 years. However, that wasn't the game's only selling point. Besides a match-up of No. 1 versus No. 2, the game provided many other intriguing match-ups. It was a duel of the state's leading passers (Tom Luginbill and Cody Smith), two of the state's most productive running backs (Tony Burton and Green), and the state's most productive offenses.

As Smith rolled left out of the pocket to avoid Palomar's defense, Sailors wrapped him up, throwing him to the ground. When Sailors
landed on Smith, he knew right away something was not right. "When I saw him looking at his arm I knew something was wrong," said Sailors. "I heard a real sick feeling in his voice. I asked him 'is it your shoulder' and he said 'no, man, you broke my arm.' I looked down and saw blood. It was pretty bad." The running back duel provided many spectacular plays.

The Palomar Comets men's water polo team lost at home on Tuesday, falling to Orange Coast College 18-7. Palomar (9-15-1 overall, 0-3 in conference) had strong offensive performances from freshmen Brad Casper (3 goals) and Trevor Grimm (3 goals), as well as All-Conference sophomore standout Byron Sorenson (1 goal). In the first period, the Orange Coast offense exploded against a lackluster Palomar defense, outscoring the Comets 9-1.
~~~B~Q,I A brief pep talk brought out a more intense second period Comet defense. Orange Coast only managed to get two goals past Freshman goalkeeper Andy Watt. Watt, along with sophomore two-meter guard Doug Casper, have shined defensively for the Comets. "They're two of our best players defensively," said head coach Jem McAdams. "Andy has a real feel for the game, and he knows what we want him to do in most
situations." Palomar put two goals on the board in the second period, both coming off the hand of freshman Brad Casper. Witl1 Palomar down 11-3 at the ~alf, the Comets needed strong performances both offensively and defensively in the second half. Unfortunately, they would receive neither. The Comets offense managed only five more goals in the second half, and the defense could not suppress another Orange Coast attack, which added seven more

Conference power drops Cotnets WATER POLO goals. Throughout the game, the Comets seemed to show an inconsistent level of intensity. While playing hard defense early, the team' s intensity seemed to weaken as the game progressed. "That is cun·ently one of our major problems," said McAdams. "We need to learn how to be intense for four quarters, and that is lacking right now." At the current point in the season, both coaches and players feel

positive about making the playoffs. "We're already through with a lot of the tough teams in the league," said two-meter guard Doug Casper. "We should have a good shot if we can play with the same intensity we showed earlier in the season." The team's chances of making the playoffs hinge on how they do in upcoming crucial inter-conference games against Rancho Santiago, San Diego Mesa, and Cypress.

touchdowns. Known as an all-purpose back, he also caught eight passes for 109 yards. Meanwhile, Burton had 117 yards on the ground and 19 yards receiving with one touchdown. Palomar was led by sophomores Climon and Joel Leeman . Each caught two Tom Luginbill passes fortouchdowns as tight end Leeman went 10-for-133 yards and Climon caught five passes for 98 yards. Luginbill threw for 381 yards and completed 27-of-41 attempts. At 6-0, the Comets are looking towards a conference title. "We think we'll win the (conference) title," said Climon, "but we're not going to underestimate anybody. We give respect to any team we face because every game from here out will be their bowl game. Even if they're 0-6. Everybody wants to beat Palomar." Now the Comets face a bye week before starting divisional play Oct 30 against Golden West at San Marcos High. And the team is not about to take the weaker divisional team lightly. "We're thinking of our season as having five games left," said Sailors of his team who has four regular season games remaining. But also a fifth, that being a bowl game bid. Added Sailors of winning a national championship: "So we're telling ourselves we have to win the next five games."
