A Palomar College freshman was killed Oct. 22 after her compact car was broadsided by a pickup truck in Escondido.

Anthropology major Michelle Jean Wei er, 17, died at Palomar

Medical Center after efforts to resuscitate her at the 6:40 a.m. accident site on Valley Center and Lake Wohlford roads was unsuccessful, police said.

According to police, the accident occurred as Welser, who began attending Palomar this semester, was on her way to school.

The 1993 Orange Glen High School graduate had just left her home nearby.

Welser was making a left turn onto Valley Center Road when a northbound 1982 Chevrolet pickup broadsided her vehicle.

The truck overturned, blocking all lanes of the main stretch for commuters into Valley Center, police said.

In response to student complaints, school officials and the Associated Student Government forged a compromise Oct. 28 to invite an African American community leader to serve as co-grand marshall of the Homecoming parade with Governing Board President Harold Scofield.

In a special meeting, Student Activities Director Jim Bowen

and SuperintendentPresidentDr. George Boggs reached the decision with the student government to invite Reggie Owens, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People representative, toserveasco-grandmarshall with Scofield.

This was in response to student disapproval expressed at the Oct. 27 ASG meeting of the decision to make Scofield grand marshall.

Afrikan-American Student

Alliance President Robert Jenkins said he felt other candidates would be more appropriate for the position, saying that Scofield has a "negative track record."

Harold Scofield and other school officials carne under fire last spring for allegedly demonstrating insensitivity for Palomar's poor minority faculty hiring history.

The controversy led to an 11day student demonstration which ended April 2, when Palomar

officials and student leaders signed an agreement.

Jenkins also criticized Scofield for his stance in favor of Proposition 174.

Scofield was asked to serve as grand marshall on Oct. 25 and later accepted the position.

Homecoming Committee member David Trevino, who was directly responsible for the decision, said he was unaware of the

Rally tole alize marijuana stirs dispute Speakers list benefits of cannabis amid administrator's threats to disband rally

By Mireille Samson

Editor-in-Chief An Oct. 27 rally to elicit support for the legalization of marijuana was nearly shut down by Palomar officials who said organizers had not obtained approval for the event.

The rally consisted of various

speakers from the Cannabis Action Network who urged students to support the legalization of marijuana and become informed on the benefits of using cannabis, or marijuana.

The event was sponsored by Palomar's Grassroots Clul:> cofounders Bob Lawrence and De-

von Barlow.

Lawrence and Barlow said that Student Activities Director Jim Bowen told them the demonstrators couldn't set up their booths because they did not fill out a facilitie s request form.

"I think they're trying to squelch freedom of speech on campus," Lawrence said, adding that they did file a request form.

I fe said Bowen informed them that legalization of marijuana was

not a "politically correct" topic to speak about on campus. He went on to say that Bowen threatened to call in campus patrol or sheriff officers if they didn't leave .

"I was giving them my options," Bowen said. However, he said he changed his mind when he saw six students immediately sit down on the ground when he said he might call the police.

According to Recycling Manager Rick Kratcoski, the program is a unique one that staff and students help succeed.

Some of the recycled products diverted from landfills during fiscal year 1992-93 were 1,549 pounds of plasfics, 1,585 pounds of scrap aluminum, I ,225 pounds of tin cans and I ,062 pounds of redemption hoLLies.

Kratcoski reminds people to keep the recycling loop continuous, by purchasing products made from post-consumer materials.

Telescope .nets 13 awards at conference

By Roger Fregoso

Campus Beat Editor The Telescope brought home 13 awards from last weekend's journalism conference/competition held at Long Beach City College.

'We value the chance to share ideas with other journalists.'

Mireille Samson Editor-in-Chief Some of the top awards won by staff members were Kathy Combs' second place for her feature article about a Palomar student's personal experience as a lesbian in the military, and second place for front page layout on a large school tabloid.

The event was the annual Journalism Association ofCommunity Colleges Confrence/ Competition where over 500 journalism students from throughout southern Califronia and Arizona participated in competitions and workshops.

For photographers, exercises

included shooting a simulation of the aftermath of an earbquake while reporters bad to cover the event, attend a press conference on the staged earthquake and had one hour to write their stroy.

"The conference was cballengeing to the staff," Mireille Samson, editor-in-chief, said.

"As a staff, we value the chance to share ideas with other college journalists," she added.

JanetDuffy received honorable mention for a sports feature photo; Chris Holmes received honorable mention for a his news story about art instructor Robert Freeman's allegation of racial discrimination; Holmes also received an honorable mention for his sports feature story about two-sports star MichelleDimery; Sigrund Magnusdottir won third place for her sports feature photo of Pop Warner players practicing at Palomar.

The Telescope was awarded third place for Best Use of Photos; an honorable mention for Best Headlines; honorable mention in general excellence of a Large School Tabloid; honorable mention for feature writing was given to Samson for her story on a Palomar costume designer; second place was awarded to Mark Westover for his line illustration of last year's three presidential candidates.

Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs was made an honorary elder of the National Council on Black American Affairs at the Governing Board meeting Oct. 26.

Doris Pichon, dean of human arts and sciences, presented a surprised Boggs the honorary title for his participation at the Western Regional Conference on Black American Affairs, saying he showed "tireless energy."

She added, "(Boggs) dramatically utilized his group leadership skills, demonstrating his commitment to both diversity and technology."

Boggs spoke at the conference about Palomar's actions to increase diversity awareness, including instituting anew faculty hiring policy and offering affirmative action workshops.

Pichon commended Boggs for openly discussing issues with conference participants before and after the Palomar presentation.

According to Pichon, the predominant! y African American par-

ticipants became interested in Boggs' responses to their questions and came to him personally for advice on issues confronting black American community college employees.

'I feel that Dr. Boggs is making great effort to do all that he can to ensure that diversity happens on this campus.'

Doris Pichon dean of human arts and sciences She said it is rare for an administrator to even support diversity programs, much less attend a diversity conference with such a positive attitude.

"I feel that Dr. Boggs is making great effort to do all that he can to ensure that diversity happens on

this campus," Pichon said.

She said that the protests last semester charging that there are not enough minority faculty members at Palomar were actually a positive event.

"These allegations seemed to serve as a positive tum around for not only Dr. Boggs but for the whole community because it was so publicized," she said.

This fall the controversy continued when Robert Freeman, a Palomar arts instructor, filed a lawsuit against the college alleging that the elimination of his art class from the schedule was based solei y on his native American background.

Freeman, a Lakota Souix native, has been quoted as saying, "This is a racist college both in numbers and attitude."

Pichon, herself an African American, says she has never seen or heard any racist comments or actions by the staff at Palomar.

She said this award may actultlly be a stepping stone for a new view toward cultural diversity for the college administration.

"I think that an awareness is happening," said Pichon. "It is at this point we know what corrections to make so that the hiring process is fair for everyone who applies."

Classified employee given honor Award given to Barbara Ross for many contributions to staff union

By Bjarne Olsen

Staff Writer Because of her volunteer services a Palomar accounting technician recently received the ftrst ever Special Achievement Award from the Council of Classified Employees, according to members of the union.

Barbara Ross received the award due to recommendations given by members of Palomar's CCE labor union.

The reason for the award, according to Ross, was to thank the classified employees of the union for their volunteer work and the extra time they put into running the union.

Classified employees are all those workers on campus who are not teachers or supervisors, including secretaries, bookkeepers and grounds maintenance workers.

This was the ftrst year that the CCE, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers and the AFL/CIO, has given this award to members of its union, said Ross. She added that only two awards were received statewide, one in the northern and one in the southern part of California.

"I was very honored to receive this award," said Ross, "but it wasn'tan awardjustfor me, it was for all the classified employees and the great work they have done."

Ross, according to colleagues, has taken on many duties for the union on campus. Some of these roles have been negotiator, secretary, and last year's president.

"She was always willing to take on any role necessary to keep the union intact.," said Leigh Squires, current president of the local union.

A nomination letter, which was sent by Squires, was the deciding

Barbara Ross factor in Ross receiving the achievement award, according to union members.

Ross has been involved with the union since 1985 and will soon be retiring in order to travel the country. She said aboutlhe experience, "It was a nice way to end my union career."

While the Fallbrook students' visit to Palomar will not stop the proposed expulsions, Puchi wants to show the youngsters what the college's Mexican-American students have achieved to "give them hope."

After some discussion, the members agreed to host the visiting students.

"It would be all over everyiliing (Agent Orange). It was in the streams that we bathed in. We slogged through it, and lived with it all around us. They gotgoodatmaking it so it would stick to everything and not break down ."

After the release of the study in July, Brown formed a task force to review fmdings on diseases which only have limited evidence of herbicidal poisoning.

Brown has asked NAS to focus on prostate cancer and peripheral neuropathy in its next review, scheduled to be completed in July,1995 .

When asked if there was any evidence outside of military persons who have been effected by Agent Orange, Lipscomb said, "Dow Chemical says no. They haven't admitted iliat it is bad for anything except trees."

Sergio Rodriguez, one of about 80 fifth grade students from San Marcos Elementary School who visited Palomar College Oct. 22, steals a moment to digest the new surroundings of the campus.

Children invade campus

By Judy Erickson Copy Editor

About 80 local fifth graders descended upon Palomar College Oct. 22 witl1 one goal in mind - going to college. ''I'm going to College," a project to encourage low income children to go on to higher education, brought students from San Marcos Elementary onto campus for a simulated fust day of classes.

The need for such a program is underscored by a National Council of La Raza study, which says 50 percent of high school drop-outs are Latinos. It also says that Latinos from Spanish-speaking homes are three times as likely to drop out than those from English-speaking homes.

San Marcos Elementary is 90 percent Latino and most of the fifth grade participants said if they go to college, they will be tl1e first in tl1eir families.

"The kids got very excited about going to college," said fifth grade teacher Bonnie Mozlin. "Kids who never fatl1omed they could ever go are now saying 'I'm going to Palomar.' " About 100 students from ilie school participated in t11e project which was developed by tl1e Califomia Association of

Student Financial Aid Administrators.

Palomar, which has hosted the project for three years now, is one of just four colleges in the state that participated this fall. Similar programs are planned for the spring in Escondido and Fresno.

Top financial backers were the San Marcos Community and Palomar College foundations, which each gave $2,500.

Minerva Gonzalez, director of financial aid and scholarships at Palomar, headed up the project with Carolina Cardenas, student affirmative action coordinator at Cal State San Marcos.

Gonzalez helped start the original "I'm Going to College," which won a national award and gained interest in Cleveland, Seattle and Boston.

Students got tours of the campus and attended classes on art, television production, chiropractic medicine, computer, aeronautics and multicultural studies classes. They used microscopes in life science class and examined a skeleton in health science.

"My objective," said Gonzalez, "was to provide early awareness of college opportunities for low-income students. ... Even junior high is turning out to be a little late. We need to reach t11em earlier."

Students inspect objects made from hemp at Richard Davis's traveling museum parked near the clocktower Oct. 27.

"It looked to me that's what the group wanted," he said. "They wanted me to lose control and make it bigger than it is." As a result, Bowen didn't take action, letting the rally continue.

One of the speakers at the rally who has glaucoma said she lost her right eye to conventional medical surgery and treatment.

Elvy Musikka, 49, said she has been advocating its use ever since cannabis improved the condition of ber left eye.

Musikka said that out of 60 million paralyzed Americans, at least one-half can be helped by cannabis, yet the federal government refuses to look at marijuana for its medicinal use.

"It is unconstitutional, un-Christian and immoral," she said of the federal govemment' s refusal to admit marijuana' s medical use. "They cannot buy the truth. We have to take responsibility for our govemment."

Musikka urged listeners to sign ilie petition to legalize marijuana, saying she will take the petition to Washington, D.C., next

month when she speaks to Attomey General Janet Reno.

Another speaker said cannabis improved his medical condition as well. Samuel Skipper said he was diagnosed HIV positive four years ago. Since that time, he said he has smoked and ingested marijuana daily and tl1at he hasn't gotten AIDS yet.

"It makes me normal," he said. "There is no doctor tl1at has told me I will die anytime soon."

Skipper said he bas been convicted of growing cannabis three times, but be still grows it and the courts know it. "I can' t afford to eat it unless I grow it," the 39-yearold La Mesa resident said.

In addition to speakers, a traveling museum owned by 52-year-old Richard Davis was also on hand to show interested people different uses of ilie marijuana plant.

Davis, who bas been smoking and growing cannabis for 27 years, has spent the last few years advocating the drug's legalization by showing tl1at the plant can be used to make paper products, shoes, handbags and

picture frames. "(Marijuana) can produce more biomass ilian any plant can," Davis said. "It's the fastest growing plant in t11e world."

Lawrence and Barlow sponsored the twoday event in response to Red Ribbon Week, a traditionally anti-drug awareness week.

"We iliought it would be appropriate to present an opposing viewpoint," Lawrence said.

Beth Post, coordinator of the Drug Prevention Program, passed out anti-drug legalization literature during the rally.

"I believe everyone has a right to their opinion," Post said. "I think this is part of Red Ribbon Week, although it's one very skewed side."

While the Grassroots Club was spreading the word about legalizing marijuana, they recruited 15 new members, Barlow said.

Barlow added that ilie aim of the club is to disseminate information on marijuana and to challenge the administration on alternative political issues.

OPEN FOR Is 1V ruining our minds?

The 'plug in drug' saps both mind and body

By Mireille Samson

Editor-in-Chief

¡x

Television is killing our society.

In light of the whole controversy with Beavis and Butthead, I believe it wasn't the show itself that "caused" the 5year-old child to set flre to the house that killed the 2-year-old baby.

It was the fault of the parents who left the child alone with matches. Attributing blame to two mindless cartoon characters is ludicrous.

I don't think the crazy stunts Beavis and Butthead pull like playing baseball with frogs or burning up houses is any more responsible for the delinquency of youth today than any other influence.

While I am not one who advocates cencorship, 1 do think the Beavis and Butthead incident is an appropriate commentary on the way television is ruining the social fabric of our lives.

When TV carne into existance in the 1950s, it was hoped to be a great tool of teaming and discovery, and it did. It brought death and destruction directly into the living room.

TV allowed us to witness the destruction of the Vietnam and subsequent wars with an intimacy and immediacy never before experienced.

But was tl1is a good thing? Did it not only serve to numb us to the sight of dead bodies and blood so that now it becomes hard to distinguish between movies and reality?

Television was also hoped to bring families together in a shared activity, and it served to do just the opposite.

I would bet that in most households, especially with older children, members of the family do not sit together and watch television in a chummy way.

Members watch their individual programs, sometimes on their own TV sets, and it actually alienates the family, taking the place of healtl1y interaction and activities.

As a maller of fact, far from being a tool of great learning, television has become a brain slowing hypnotic beast. Without television( which the average person watches well over four hours a day) many of today's youth would be free to exercise, read and concentrate tl1eir energies on socially positive endeavors.

TV will often substitute social activities in many people's lives.

Watching television is such a lifeless, passive activity. It's no wonder that studies have shown an increase in heart problems in avid TV viewers.

THE

Parents should control what children watch

By Francis Crowley

Staff Writer

Life Imitates Art Television programming has received severe scrutiny over the limits programming is testing.

MTV has rescheduled its show 'Beavis and Butthead' due to an incident in which a five year old burned down his own home, killing a two year old child.

Looking at the big picture; entertainment, news reporting and the study of man, television has done more towards proliferating the civilization of man than any other single entity.

The argument against television showing violent material because of imitators copying what they see is not a valid argument. As a society, we need to look at the cause of the person who finds imitating others necessary.

Concentrating on what is being imitated is not the answer.

Granted television, which is a bastion for capitalism could use improvement, but to claim it is hannful to society is going overboard.

Commercial television has evolved, partly due to the profit margin, and partly reflecting the informational society we have become.

There are a few who will argue that certain television programs have given anti-social ideas to undeveloped minds, yet there must be as many undeveloped minds who learn socially acceptable behavior through television.

Throughout televisions history there have been calls to have shows removed because of tl1e controversial matter shown. None of those shows have ever lasted, such as Sixty Minutes, M*A*S*ll* or The Lucille Ball Show.

If there is a problem of citizens imitating television shows, why haven't we heard of the kids who tried to imitate investigative reporters uncovering wrong doing at the local city hall. Maybe the cun¡ent Army Medical Corp can be traced to persons who are imitating M* A* S *H*. Certain! y someone can blame Roseanne Arnold's behavior on watching the Lucy Show.

In reu¡ospect., we know that the fall of tl1e communist block nations in eastern Europe, was helped by p1ivate citizens who obtained satellite dishes and began watching t11e developments of neighboring nations on TV. Previously such infonnat.ion had been kept from them under t11c communist regimes.

There is no argument tl1at knowledge, infonnation and intelligence all go hand and hand. Television has created expeditious knowledge. .

The history of television is only a speck compared to the history of man. Yet, Beavis and Butt-head is only a speck in the history of television. To properly measure the effects of television on society, a complete study of all programing needs to be done. A comparison of Sixty Minutes, The Cosby Show,and Sesame Street needs to be included.

I am writing in response to your recent publishing of an article titled "Focus on Clubs," in t11e Oct. 15 edition of The Telescope. The club featured in tlle article was mistakenly called the Pre-Physical Club, instead of lhe Pre-Physical Therapy Club.

The purpose of the Pre-Physical Therapy Club (as taken directly from our constitution) is to provide lhe following: InfOimation about careers in physical tllerapy, information about the applicaton process to academic programs in physical therapy, information about appropriate prerequisite courses to be taken, study groups for prerequisite courses, fund raising events in order to raise money to contribute needed equpiment to Palomar Community College and/or local physical t11erapy departments, networking opportunities, and social interactio namong tllose intereste din physical ilierapy and oilier related careers.

Please recycle this newspaper.

The average American family produces 100 pounds of u·ash every week. At l11is rate, l11e United States will need 500 new dumps every yem. When lhe San Marcos landfill closed, residents were opposed to opening anolher one, yet ru1olher was opened.

We cannot close our eyes to this problem any longer because tllere are many lhings one can do to alleviate lhe trash burden.

•Buy less packaged goods.

One ti1ird of lhe trash Amelicans generate come directly from packaging lhat you lhrow out immediately. As you walk down the aisles of a grocery store, notice which products are over-packaged in cardboard, paper and plastic.

A Jot of products which used to be encased in packaging are now simply sold on its own, such as some antiperspirants, shampoo and hairspray.

Choose one product witi1less packaging over anolher witi1 more, even if it costs more.

• Recycle, recycle, recycle.

The hulk of our trash is recyclable, including plastic, glass, aluminum, paper and biodegradables such as lawn clippings and food scraps. If you ru·e provided witi1 curbside recycling, take advantage of it. l read about a woman in Encinitas who doesn'tproduceany trash at all; she recycles every single ti1ing she uses. She hasn't had a u·ash pick-up in monti1s. This just goes to show l11a1 living u·ash-free is possible.

•Start a compost pile.

One viable option to reducing your u·ash is a compost pile in your backyard, which involves simply piling weeds, leaves, and lawn clippings in a corner and letting it decompose.

More intensivecomposting involves more work. You need to build and maintain a special receptacle in which organic trash is stacked and separated into layers. The heap must also be turned to allow air to circulate ancl to avoid odors.

However, the effort is well worth it, since ti1e finished compost is a natural fertilizer which you can use in your garden.

Dome Is Where The Heart Is by Doug Spurlock

Contributing Writer With buildings more indigenous to the East Coast than Southem California, Palomar College's architecture could be consitered conservative. However, in the midst of the coventional buildings sits the Dome of Palomar College.

Nestled in the southern end of campus, the Dome catches ti1e attention of first-lime visitors. A novel idea, one might think, for a Community College campus to add a sense of diversity to an otherwise mediocre gymnasium rooftop.

The Dome has proven its variety of abilities by providing use for athletic and non-athletic students. The Dome is Palomar College's largest facility but is primarily used for physical education. The floor contains iliree basketball courts as well as three volleyball courts. Naturally, it provides a focus for athletic activilies.

T I M E L I N E

"The Dome is the center for Palomar's Athlelic Department," adds Mike Norton, Palomar's director of Public Informalion. "But it is also used for commencement, Alumni Associalion aclivities, and any event that has more than 400 people involved."

Special funclions at the Dome through its historical lifetime have included rock concerts, celebrity sporting events, fundraising benifits, guest speaking engagements, and school dances.

The Dome is a highly functional, multifaceted suucture. Because of its construction, the Dome is free of columns which were a standard feature in gymnasiums built in 1958. This allows 16,250 square feet of useable floor space.

Nevertheless, a frugal mind looking at the Dome might wonder about the financial aspects of a domed gymnasium, when perhaps an ordinary gym might have been less expensive.

The assumption The Dome cost more than a traditionally styled gymnasium is wrong. When archi-

teet CJ. Paderewski designed the gymnasium he submitted one for a conventional structure, and one for a geodesic dome. It turned out that the dome structure cost $80,000 less. It was not only a better value, but it also added texture to the blandness of Palomar's landscape.

The aesthetic value of The Dome sometimes overlooks its purpose. Sure it looks pretty, but the Dome's first priority i~ function.

"Because the Dome is a government building it certainly would not and could not be built as a novelty. The primary use of the Dome is definitely functional, not aesthetic," explains Norton, The Dome can be seen in more places than one might realize. It is used in the official logo of the college in brochures, and often in ti1c background of the clock tower for illustrations, crealing a mixture of the two landmarks.

The Dome gives Palomar something identifiable, something functional, and definitely something special.

One horror film fan's picks for an evening of video evil

By John Conzemius

Staff Writer Once again , Halloween descends upon us and many are at loss for a means to celebrate.

You see, for those of us too old (or too tall) to go trick-or-treating and too "mature" to partake in smashing ilie neighbor's Jack-oLantern, Halloween can be a wasted holiday.

This really is a shame because Halloween is ilie only holiday created for ilie purpose of having fun.

No annoying relatives, no church, and no depressing sessions of mourning dead heroes at ilie cemetery.

But take heart. There does exist at least one avenue which allows all of us to get into the Halloween spirit and it lies as close as your local video store- the horror film .

To be effective, any good horror movie must be gruesome, violent, tasteless, and above all , with

absolutely no redeeming social value. After all , if one is looking for intellectual enrichment, tJ1eir time would be better wasted in the local public library.

As a public service to help the reader differentiate between the sludge which calls itself "hon路or" and u路uly worthwhile product, here are a few films you won't want to miss this Halloween season.

Anyone who has ever made extra spending money baby sitting is sure to love "When a Stranger Calls," a tale in which the baby sitter is tormented by phone calls with me ominous question, "Why haven' t you checked ilie children?"

All of mis she finds very annoying until it is revealed that ilie calls are coming from inside ilie house.

The killer leaves the bloody children upstairs as he descends the stairs after ilie baby sitter, who has by now already bolted the front door.

Fans of animated corpses will

enjoy "Dawn of the Dead," the sequeltoGeorgeA. Romero's 1968 cult classic "Night of the Living Dead" .

This time out, the brain-eating zombies have abandoned tJ1e fa.Imhouse and take up residence in a suburban shopping ce nter to torment theEarth'ssole survivors. As one survivor notes, "When there is no more room in hell , the dead will walk the Earth."

Of course, no serious discussion of modern horror could be complete without making reference to the immortal "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." This film, when released in 1974, was the most shocking example of human depravity since "The Exorcist" was released a year ea.I路lier. With its helpless victims hanging from meat hooks, cannibalism and altars made of human flesh , it is truly a "horror" film in every sense of the word.

Concert Hour plays musical variety

By Brian Wallace

Staff Writer Every Thursday at 12:30 p.m.

Palomar's Performing Arts Department presents a free one-hour concert in perfonnance lab D-10.

This weekly presentation, which began in ilie early 1970s, provides Palomar students and members of me community ilie opportunity to see a variety of musical styles at no cost and in an intimate setting.

Concert Hour makes an effort to feature a wide range of musical styles. Its diversity is one of its most important factors, according to those who organize it.

Rhoda Nevins, publicity coordinator for ilie Performing Arts Department, is responsible for contacting and booking artists for Concert Hour. "Wetrytogetarnixture of different types of music-dif-

ferent styles such as vocal, instrumental and piano," she said.

The program has hosted many different musical groups including big band swing, African drumming, jazz and ragtime piano.

Nevins is impressed wiili Concert Hour so far iliis semester. "I iliink they've been very successful. The reputation of Concert Hour seems to have grown and blossomed and we're getting a really wide diverse audience," she said.

Many in the audience are students attending as an assignment for their music or humanities classes. Performing Arts Chairperson Peter Gach says iliat these assignments are the main reason for Concert Hour.

The other reason, Gach explained, is that "Palomar functions as a cultural center for North CountyandConcertHourisaregu-

tar musical offering open to ilie public free of charge for anyone to come and enjoy."

The Concert Hour schedule is mailed to more Ulan 700 people at the beginning of the semester.

Many of those who fill me 170seat performance lab are senior citizens.

Gach hopes more students who are not music and humanities majors will attend also.

"I think mat maybe most students who come to college have not experienced a wide variety of various music genres in a small setting," he said. "I would say that me exposure to music performed live and up close could become a very rich and important part of ilieir education."

Next week me Concert Hour will feature me Palomar Chamber Singers and Concert Choir.

SPORTS Comfortably uncomfortable Good No .. l Comets know season isn't won yet Sports Sports Editor

Kristian Pope

just a chance all Leeman wanted, needed He never said "put me in coach" but he's always wanted to play.

Making catches and scoring touchdowns never came naturally to 19-year-old Joel Leeman, the Comets' starting tight end.

Unlike many athletes in college football, Joel' s talents are not God-given.

No, his talents are self-made.

Made from hard work, determination, and practice.

Through that diligent work ethic, and a little bit 'o luck, Joel is now a starting tight end, making the big plays rather than watching them from the sideline.

Having started in three games, Joel is now the Comets' No.4 receiver and No. 15 in the Mission conference. He's caught 22 passes for 262 yards. On the way he's scored three touchdowns.

"I don't know what we would've done against Mt. San Antonio if Joel didn't play the way he did," said Comet head coach Tom Craft of Leeman's two touchdown, 133-yard day against the No. 2-ranked Mounties. Led by Leeman's eyepopping catches and gutsy runs, the Comets' survived the squeaker 35-34, thus preserving their No. 1 national ranking.

Starting is definitely new to Joel. And now that he's finally gotten the chance he's been waiting for it's been great.

Once a lineman in Pop Warner, blocking defensive ends to make room for the tight ends to make the play, Leeman, originally from Orange County, is now the tight end himself, making the plays.

"It's fun to be in there starting and playing all the time," said Leeman, who last started in his senior year in high school, almost three years ago.

The work ethic is what has prepared Joel to fill in when the shoes need filling.

"If you work hard in practice it'll show in the games," he said.

Leeman agrees with the coaches style of practiee: game situations.

"If you don't practice hard enough, when the game comes around, you get lazy," he said.

'That's when you screw up."

In addition to practicing actual game situations, Leeman says he and his teammates do a lot of running. ''We run more in practice," he

Six victories into his eleventh season as Comet football head coach, Tom Craft says he's not comfortable with his position.

"I won't be comfortable until this team wins," said Craft.

Wins the national championship, that is.

As we speak, their undefeated 6-0 record has made them the No. 1-ranked team in the nation by the JC-Grid Wire-the most widely recognized ranking serviceforcommunitycollege football.

Palomar has won 16 of their last 17 games, 26 of 28. They've finished 10-1 the previous two seasons, and are in a P'-'~ i tion to be the first undefeated Palomar footuall team ever. They've won four straight Southern division titles and two straight bowl bids.

"As a coach you can never feel comfortable," said Craft. "I hope nobody , especially our players, says that we're in the driver's seat. I don 't buy that. That's when you slip."

Because of that, Craft has been making

ita point to stress the fact that this season is not complete.

"By and large I don't think our team feels like that," said Craft who believes the game of football has too many variables and pitfalls to be decided when several games have yet to be played.

'That's what makes football interesting," he said At mid-season, Craft says the team has reached some of the goals they set. "We segmented the season into three parts," he said. "The frrstpart was a rigorous road schedule against some very physical teams.

We finished that. Now we' re entering our second half."

That second half includes playing all three of the remaining four games at home. Three of those games are against division opponents.

The third part, the biggest of all, is a fifth bowl game bid in five years. And last but not least a chance at a second national championship in three years.

Through phase one of this season, Craft has been pleased with t11e team' s resourcefulness and insists Palomar is not the hardest team to play in the California.

v GOWEN WEST s. RUSTLERS

PALOMAR COMETS 6-0; Mission Conf., Southern Div. Ranked No. 1 in nation. Last game: 3534 win at Mt. SAC

3-3; Mission Conf., Central Div.; Last week: 21-111oss· to Saddleback

The Match-Up The unbeaten Comets return to San Marcos High tomorrow for a home game against Golden West. The Rustlers (1-1) sit tied for third place in the Mission conference's Central division . Palomar sits atop the Southern division (6-0) and is tied for first place in the conference with Long Beach City (7-0)

Comets' Game-Plan QB Tom Luginbill leads the conference in passing (337.5 yards-per-game) and total offense. The Comets will meet up with a scary defensive front by Golden West. The Rustler's boast a secondary comparable to Rancho Santiago in that they're fast and resourceful. The backfield is anchored by sophomore CB Scott Carinjella who is tied for the conference lead in INT' s with four.

In total, Golden West sits fourth among 11 teams in passing defense. Luginbill must be accurate and the Rustler's must be on their toes while facing Comet WR's Andrea! Climon (35 rec. for 462 yards, 7 TD's), Kevin Swayne (34 rec. for 565 yards, 6 TD's) and TE Joel Leeman (22 rec. for 262 yards, 3 TD's). WR Daryl Hawkins, who continues to be bothered by a shoulder injury, is questionable.

Rustler's Game-Plan Golden West wilf stay on the grass. The Rustler's are not a throwing team but when they do QB Steve Walker (.566 percentage, one IN1) is accurate. RB' s Vance Senteno and Eddie Benson do all the work coLJ.bining for 133.9 yards-per-game. Senteno is a punishing, inside runner while Benson is quick and flashy. The two alternate plays and according to coach Ray Shackelford neither are the "key" to their offense. "Which ever one is in there, he makes the play," he said. Their pass receiver is tailback Bob Fiesler (18 rec. for 281 yards and four TD's).

Tale Of The Tape While an easy game for Palomar on paper, Craft is concerned that the 3-3 Rustler's have played tough teams very hard. They held Long Beach City to seven points in three quarters and lost close to Cerritos as well. Palomar wants to score first and often.

Get Your

said. "At the end of the game, when the opposition is tired, we're on the edge stamina wise."

In the process Joel has set an example for not only his teammates, but even his coaches.

"I've got a lot of admiration for Joel," said Craft. "You see, he comes from the old school where you stick to things. That's a problem with young people today. They give up too quickly.

"But I have a lot ·o r admiration for Joel for sticking to what he believes in," continued Craft. "I know a lot of people wouldn't do what he's done."

This year Palomar has arguably the deepest and most talented receiving corps they've ever had.

Five Comet receivers rank in the top 20 in the Mission conference.

All will almost surely go to a four year program after Palomar.

Through it all, Joel hasn't whined once. He hasn't and won't ever. And even though he's always wanted to start, he's been patient in waiting his tum.

"Well, with three All-Americans on the team, it'skind of hard,"

said Leeman of his past and present receiving comrades.

Surprisingly, his best friend on the team is not a receiver, by and large, but he is a scorer. Leeman and running back Tony Burton first became friends in high school where each stood side by side in the huddle r~presenting Fallbrook High.

"Joel's been good from the beginning," said Burton, "he's just

never gotten a chance. Burton says it's good to have someone like Leeman blocking for him from time to time. "He throws a good block," said Burton, who graduated a year before Leeman. "Whenever he's out there he's always giving one hundred percent."

Giving his best, that's something Joel basn'tjust started. He's been doing that for ages.

BASKETBALL Continued from page 11 "She's by far the best leeper we've ever had ," · he said.

"Shawna's fast, quick, and boy, she just jumps out of the gym."

And coaches feel that picking up the scraps around the basket is key.

"She's a great offensive rebounder and very smooth around the basket," said Cnossen. "She just knows where to be when the shots come off the basket."

"I want her to take the breaks," saidCnossen. "She's quick enough where, if she gets the rebound, she can beat any player on the floor.

I've been telling her 'when you get the ball, just go'."

The tallest player on the team is mobile Chryl Dixon, a 6-foot-1 transfer from Mira Costa. With that height, the Fallbrook graduate. will be the Comets' starting center.
