• The business club is planning a holiday toy drive to benefit needy families this season.

The usually tranquil Palomar College campus erupted into a gala carnival atmosphere Nov. 17 that included students drag racing on tricycles and blowing up balloons in a race against the clock. "Finney's Adventure Land Day," sponsored by the General Motors Corporation andJimFinneyGMC in Carlsbad, was mainly the result of the efforts of 17 Palomar business students. The student volunteers, who were recruited by business instructor Bonnie Dowd, worked around the clock in the weeks leading up to the event, according to Dowd. "We've been waiting for two years (for the event)," Dowd said. "I was lucky to get 17 wonderful students." Through their collective efforts, the students said that with a $2,500 budget, they were able to accrue $40,000 worth of prizes to provide for Palomar students. "We've worked every day since the beginning of the semester," said student coordinator Tamara Fillllart. "GMC and Mr. Finney have been extremely helpful." According to Dowd, the group that is most succesful in their marketing campaign is awarded $2,000 in scholarship money for their respective college business programs. The event featured a live band- a local group called the Juliet Hour- games and prize giveaways. The day was capped by an official proclamation by the Mayor of San Marcos delivered by Palomar's President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs declaring Nov. 17 "Finney's Adventureland Day." "I can't say enough about the job they (students) did," said Jim Finney, co-sponsor of the event, "especially for the number of people they have. To put on an event of this

Spring phone registration extended Admissions department braces for decrease in enrollment next semester • Palomar's No.l-ranking football team gears up for national title bowl game. see page 16

By Roger Fregoso

Staff Writer In an effort to eliminate a further drop in enrollment next semester, Palomar's Admissions, Records and Veterans' Services Department has adjusted standard registration procedures to accommodate returning students.

One major change aimed at increasing the student population this spring is to extend PAR (Phone and Register) appointments, said Herman Lee, director of admissions. In previous years, PAR ended before the holidays. Now, it's been extended through January. More than 60 percent of the students register by using PAR, although Lee said he

hopes to see that number increase. "We are doing everything we can," Lee said. ''More sections were added to the spring schedule. We added classes that are in high demand by students." Apprehension arose after admissions mailed out about 15,000 "intent to register cards" but only received 14,000 by the Oct. 21 deadline. After beginning the fall semester down 5.9 percent in enrollment, admissions is

Students urge ASG to fund minority internships ASG would need to supply $2,000 for each internship By John Conzemius

Staff Writer Upset with the Associated Student Government's decision to postpone a minority internship, several students representing campus clubs urged the ASG to pass thescholarshipattheNov.17meet-

in g. The "Minority Leaders Fellowship Program," eligible only to minority students, was indefmitely postponed at the Nov. 3 meeting, when some ASG members objected to both the nature of the program and its possible violation to the Associated Students Cons ti-

tution. ASG Executive Vice President Grant Marcus said that the internship, which involves an allocation of $2,000 from the ASG budget, violates Article IX, Section 3 of the constitution, which forbids discrimination on the basis of race. The internship is one of several scholarships and fellowships offered by the Washington Center, which offers other programs such as an Environmental Internship Program, a general scholarship and

an Independent Sector Internship Program which are not race-specific. AttheNov.17meeting,Marcus suggested including othernonracespecific programs, thus opening it to all Palomar students. "My duty (as executive vice president) lies with representing all students," Marcus said. "This revised list allows all students to apply." Afrikan-American Student Alliance President Robert Jenkins

objected to Marcus's proposal to revise the program. Jenkins said he felt the ASG should allocate $2,000 for the program and not bring in the alternative programs because he said it "defeats the entire purpose of the Minority Fellowship Program." "Here you may have this white student that is eligible, and leaving this historically under -represented student out of the playing field,"

GMC Trucks team with business club A new partnership between Palomar College and the local business community is being launched this semester. A General Motors internship program is giving 18 business education students at Palomar College a taste of the real world. All the students are enrolled in Business Management205, taught by Bonnie Dowd. Under the internship' s guidelines, they are required to research, design, present, execute and evaluate a unique promotion for GMC Trucks. The students have created their own marketing and promotion agency "X-PRT' for "Xtreme Promotion Rising Talent." Students participated in a program Nov. 17 when a GMC dealer in Carlsbad loaned several GMC vehicles to be displayed by students near the Clock Tower. The Palomar students in this project are competing with internship students from more than 70 other community colleges and four-yearcollegesinCalifomiaand Texas.

NEWS Club food giveaway violates school policy Grassroots club organizers chastized for second time By Mireille Samson

Editor-in-Chief A group of students handing out free food on campus Nov. 17 received a slap on the wrist by college administrators after the group refused to stop the giveaway. Bob Lawrence and Devon Barlow, leaders and co-founders of the Grassroots Club, an unofficial organization on campus, were ordered by Student Activities Director Jim Bowen to stop handing out free food or they would be subject to punishment and possible suspension, according to Bowen. Bowen said the group's leaders, Lawrence and Barlow, could be disciplined because they didn't schedule with Student Activities to have a table, they didn't go through food services to pass out food and they were posting literature not approved by the Student Activities office.

One end of parking Lot 9 closed last week so construction could begin to repair rain damage. Students still had plenty of parking, however, at the far end of the lot.

Parking citations OKed Use of bicycles and skateboards also limited and holes in parking lot filled By Roger Fregoso

Campus Beat Editor The Palomar College Governing Board authorized Campus Patrol to cite anyone parking in reserved areas or for riding skateboards and bicycles on campus. Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd Mahan said the board approved a motion to cite students who park in reserved parking spaces such as the stall reserved by the Inter-Club Council, which they gave away in an opportunity drawing, and the space reserved for the classified employee of the year. "All special parking will be citeable," said Mahan. The penalty citation will cost offenders $20. Mahan said he constantly receives weekly complaints from ICC and the classified employee of the month about students ignoring posted signs and parking in the reserved spaces. "They've complained to me every week, but I couldn'tenforceit," said Mahan. Now,

students will have a two-week warning period before patrol officers begin writing citations. Students who ride bikes or skateboards on campus to get from class to class will also be cited, said Mahan. However, riding a bike earlier this week may not have been a bad idea for motorist trying to park near Lot 9, which was closed several days for construction work. According to facilities supervisor Mike Ellis, the three-day job to cover up pot holes was postponed through Tuesday because of last weekends storms. "A lot of sub-surface hydraulic pressure tends to force its way up," and cause areas of the lot to sink, said Ellis. "The crews were basically doing a Bandaid job on the parking lot," he added. The work done this week is temporary relief prior to an entire lot reconstruction which is scheduled for the end of May in 1994, said Ellis. The project will include a trench and storm drain which is designed to divert water from the parking lot

ASG Senator Dan Rankin said he was impressed with the speakers at the meeting, who he said made him change his mind about the resolution. He said he would now vote in favor of it.

Campus gets grant to expand recycling program By Kelley Brewer

Contributing Writer Palomar's recycling program will be expanding operations, reconstructing the central collection center and promoting the use of materials made from recycled goods, with a recently awarded grant, according to Groul)ds Supervisor Rick Kratcoski. The state's Department of Conservation recently awarded Palomar a ~5,000 grant that will be used to purchase a new cart and trailer for the collection of recyclables from the various receptacles around campus. The grant will also pay for paving the central collection area lot and building a

'The main emphasis of the grant is to show what you can do with post-consumer recycled products,' Rick Kratcoski grounds supervisor containment wall for the dumpsters. The remainder of the money has been used to purchase post-consumer (made from recycled materials) products such as the picnic tables and benches near the Disabled Students Programs and Services building. The child development playground also uses post-consumer plastic for the borders around the sandboxes and planters. These products were purchased from companies that specialize in the production of goods

from recycled materials. According to Kratcoski, the products are better than the wooden products previously used because they will last longer and are more resistant to weathering elements. "The main emphasis of the grant is to show what you can do with the post-consumer recycled product," Kratcoski said. Purchasing recycled products completes the loop in the recycling circle by creating a demand for the items collected, he said. Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services, which hauls the recyclables and landfill wastes for Palomar, recently donated 70 recycling receptacles to the college. The receptacles have a value of approximately $60 each, according to Kratcoski. They have been grouped into sets of three and placed at various locations around campus. Charlie Fagan, one of three students who work for the recycling program, said the additional receptacles have increased the · convenience and volume of products recycled. Fagan, an environmental policy and analysis major, participates in the federal work study program, which he said pays for 70 percent of his salary, enabling the school to save even more money . • The recycling program bas also been helped by community service workers who come in on the weekend and help separate the recyclable paper, the most time-consuming aspect of the process, according to Fagan. Kratcoski, who initiated the program, reports that since recycling began in the spring of 1991, it bas grown into a source of savings for the college. It bas grown from just collecting paper to

Last week Robillard posted flyers around campus reminding students to register. Now that returning students have been urged to continue next semester, Robillard's plan is to let the community know about registration through radio and television advertising. "Our constant goal is to communicate;just to let the students know about registration," Robillard said.

Kratcoski plans to demonstrate the value of post-consumer products to others in an attempt to promote their use. "Once I finish some of these areas, I'm going to invite different people from the cities and golf courses and show them all the post-consumer recycled plastic products that they can be using too," Kratcoski said.

with credit Credit card companies market heavily to the college-age population, wanting to create long-term relationships with young adults. Despite the temptation to overspend ,many students pay off their balance every month, a survey finds. By Jennifer Burgess

College Press Service College students across the nation are armed with credit cards and Palomar students are no exception. Although the temptation to spend may lead to fmancial disaster for some students, a majority of students control the urge to just charge it, officials say. "I need it!" said Palomar student Manuel Ibarreta, a 34-yearold automotive technology major. So far he has been happy with his cards and has had no problem keeping up with payments.

for them to have a credit card history in their own name, said Stuart Himmelfarb of Roper CollegeTrack in New York. "That means recognizing the importance of not messing it up,'' Himmelfarb said. According to Bob Moss, a spokesman for American Express, most of the college students who use credit cards understand theseverity of ruining their credit by charging more than they can afford. "College students tend to understand that they have to pay the bill in full each month,'' Moss said

'College students tend to understand that they have to pay the bill in full each month.' Bob Moss, spokesman for American Express

Brian Jones, a 19-year-oldPalomar student, says he uses his credit card a lot-for gas, books, clothes, just about everything. A national survey of college students' spending habits revealed that about 90 percent of the students polled said it was important

about cardholders. According to Moss, some students prefer to use a credit card that must be paid off each month because they have "built-infmancial discipline.'' Moss also said that the college students who use credit cards have

about the same or a lower default rate than the general public. According to Roper's survey of 4,000 full-time students on 100 college campuses, students are not going on massive shopping sprees with their credit cards. Himmelfarb said most of the college students surveyed are using the cards for their convenience and managing their debt by not charging more than they can afford. Moss saidmostcollege students who use credit cards charge between $100 to $200 per month. The credit card companies are targeting students on college campuses and are tapping into a market that they hope will pay off in the future by building a strong relationship while the students are in school, said Mark Hamil, a support specialist for NationsBank's credit department in New York. GMAC, Dial America, City Bank, Wells Fargo and Cal Federal all use on-campus marketing to target students and visit Palomarregularly. Thecreditcardcompanies have applications for college students, which ask for a copy of a student identification card or tuition bill in addition to other financial information. Representatives from GMAC were on campus this week soliciting applications for their credit card and handing out water bottles and candy.

"I do not know the companies' success rate, but they all seem real happy when they leave," Student Activities Secretary Marilyn Lunde said of the various credit companies which pass out credit applications at Palomar. Lunde added that credit company representatives can come onto campus with or without the support of the college, but only one at a time and for no more than two days at a time. Roper's survey said that 56 percent of undergraduate students have a credit card. "We're hoping that if they establish credit with us and we treat them right, that down the road when it comes time to buy a car that they'll come to us," Hamil said. Despite their lack of credit history, many college students are deemed worthy of credit without a co-signer. Many credit card issuers take outstanding studentloans, employment and credit history into consideration when reviewing a credit application. According to Cathy Lambrechts, a spokeswoman for Discover, there are no guidelines for college student credit limits; thelimitis based on the applicant's qualifications. Credit card companies are seeking college students because they usually do not already have credit

cards and because they are active consumers. According to Roper's research, 55 percent of college students in the nationwide survey worked either full time or part time while attending college and 85 percent of students worked either full time or part time during the summer. Students can have a large amount of discretionary income, making them attractive candidates for credit cards, Himmelfarb said. . According to spokespersons at Nationsbank and American Express, college students who use their credit cards actually have a lower failure rate than the general public. " They pretty much watch what they're doing," a Nations bank spokesman said. College students may see their undergraduate years as the perfect time to establish credit because it is available to them everywhere. Students can also be tempted by gifts for filling out credit card applications. Himmelfarb said these students are adults who see credit cards as a form of financial security because the card is available for emergencies. "They really are running a household and a credit card is a valuable tool,' Himmelfarb said. -Staf!WritersBrian Wallace, Corinna Maltzman and lisa Lippe contributed to this story.

Stone in the fllming of the "JFK" film. The movie, based on a book researched by Howard and written by a Texas journalist, has fired the imagination of the country's young people, and it may be this generation that finally gets to the truth, Howard said. At Texas A&M University, a group of 100 students who call themselves "Aggies for Truth," have put their names on the petition. ~e nation's first college class about the assassination, going strong since 1977 at the University of Texas-Arlington, has attracted the curious-high school students to former CIA agents - since its inception. The instructor, Jim Marrs, is an former investigative newspaper reporter and author of "Crossfire: The Plot that Killed Kennedy,'' one of the two books that'' JFK'' was based on. Marrs, a self-confessed conspiracy theorist, has been collecting data on the event since 1963, when he was a police reporter in Lubbock, Texas. ''We get an awful lot of police officers,'' Marrs reported. "They realize that everything about the investigation was done contrary to standard.' ' So many flocked to the Arlington campus after the release of the "JFK" film, Marrs said, that the class had to move into an auditorium. There was also an overflow class in 1988, the 25th anniversary of the assassination. "I'm trying to give them the breadth and depth of the story. From Day One, thereporting was one-sided because the reporters were at the Dallas city hall receiving information from the FBI,'' he said. Until the American people bother to study the details of the case, Marrs said, they will accept the status-quo thinking on the case. However, as more information is uncovered, he predicts an eventual grounds well of public opinion demanding a re-examination of the Warren Commission Report. Marrs says he immerses the class in the historical events surrounding the assassination, and has students bone up on the Yalta agreements, the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency, and America's involvement in Southeast Asia in the '60s. It was not until a Senate hearing on the assassination in 1984, said Marrs, that the average citizen began to question the happenings in Dallas in November 1963. That's

when Marrs' class began to fill. "In the beginning, when I asked who thought Oswald acted alone, every hand in the room would go up. By the fall of 1984, no one raised their hand,'' said Marrs, noting that a 1984 Senate hearing on the assassination raised questions never heard before by the public. Marrs, who befriended Oswald's mother after the shooting, said he believes her account of the event, which was that her son did not act alone and was part of a larger plan to remove Kennedy from office. Marrs is convinced that the president met his death because be started to pull troops out of Vietnam. This fall at Southern Connecticut State University at New Haven, students sat on the edge of their seats as Bob Harris, a former electrical engineer for the Saudi Arabian army and an assassination buff, gave what he calls a "comedy-scare" routine in which be laid out what be considers absurd government explanations for Kennedy's death. The culprit, Harris tells the audience, was the Central Intelligence Agency, acting under the protection of the United States government. Harris, like many conspiracy theorists, believes that there were two gunmen involved in a plot to increase American involvement in Vietnam, and to overthrow Cuban leader Fidel Castro. At Marquette University in Milwaukee, a new course entitled' 'The Kennedy Assassination" requires students to watch the "JFK" film and then compare its version of the event with other accounts. Students grapple with evidence on the assassination that includes eyewitness testimonies and still photographs and learn to make conclusions from conflicting data. College assassination buffs will be watchingDallasonNov.22, whenhundredsgather for a conference at a downtown hotel near the historic motorcade route where the drama unfolded. The conference, which features discussions, eyewitness accounts, and displays of merchandise and books, is sponsored by the Austin, Texas-based Assassination Symposium on Kennedy (ASK).

Anyone who has ever seen or read Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story ''Treasure Island" can recall the favorite song of the dead pirate captain Billy Bones: Fifteen

men on a dead man's chest. Yo-ho ho and a bottle of rum. The adaptation of the classic tale playing at the Howard Brubeck Theater is a slight alteration of the original. Instead of 15 men, there are 12 male and female cast members. And nowhere in the story does there appear a dead man. Director Jim Cooper decided to ignore convention, choosing the University of Michigan's children's version of the Stevenson classic. As a result, the performance is

less intimidating than the original script and even at times lighthearted. "This is a very good adaptation of the story," Cooper said. "Children watch it very intently." That's something to remember when viewing the performance: this is a story meant for children. Much of the dialogue is simplistic in nature and toned down. Cooper said he has made an effort not to be overly heavy with his rendition. "Treasure Island is not really a happy story," he said. "As a matter of fact, much of it is quite scary." To alleviate this problem, Cooper deleted death scenes and overt violence. While the intent was not there, the production proved to be humorous many times throughout the performance. Cooper said to chil-

dren, however, the mood is very serious. The ''Treasure Island" castis an interesting mixture of personalities. RainaBancroftadequately captures the youthful spirit of the lead character Jim Hawkins. Bancroft was forced to step in after the original actor who played Jim dropped out of the production. Tbatcastalso includes Douglas Pyle as the infamous Long John Silver, Edd Schuller as the gruff Captain Smollet and Jim Anderson as Dr. Livesy, Jim's friend and protector. Veteran Mike Marinero, however, steals the show as old Ben Gunn. From the flrst moment he appears on stage, his nerve-racked humorous rendition of the crazy marooned pirate is sheer hysteria. "One of my initial ideas was to introduce to the audience not only the magic of theater but also classic literature," Cooper said. "I think we accomplish that."

Eek-a-Mouse plays reggae -for the love of reggae Reggae performer fights Jamaican stereotypes, encourages love of music By TuAn Sotelo

Contributing Writer Coming from the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica is one of today's hottest reggae performers. He goes, meekly, by the name of Eek-A-Mouse. With a number of singles, albums, memorable shows and a movie debut under his belt, Mouse has established himself as a creative and talented original who stands alone in his unique style. Originally named Ripton Hilton, legend has it that Mouse obtained his name from a racehorse. 'There was a racehorse named Eek-aMouse," he explained.

Mouse, he win! My friends thought I was crazy or something. They start calling me Eek-a-Mouse." Mouse's brand of reggae is different. Instead of being of the original roots or ska style it has more of a sing -song quality to it. Mouse describes it simply: ''That's Eek-aMouse style. It's unique I'm the only 6-foot, 6-inch mouse that sings," he laughed. When asked how he came across that style, be matter-of-factly replied, ''That just come natural. I was walking by myself and started doing some stuff, making some de bang, bang, diddy style. My friends started to like it, the way I'm singing, so I just keep doing it." Although it wasn't until1975 that under the name of Ripton Hilton he released two of his songs, Mouse's musical ambitions

began at the early age of 8. "I started singing when I was in school," he said. "I found Eek-a-Mouse style after college. I'm a born entertainer. The Lord gave it to me. I'm a natural actor." His acting ability led him to land a role in the movie "New Jack City." ''Them guys call the Mouse. They say, 'Mouse, we got a part for you.' They want me to improvise the Jamaican style and blah blah blah so I say, 'OK, I can do that,' "he reminisced. Although he said he is keen about pursuing an acting career, Mouse said be is careful about picking his roles. "In that movie "Marked for Death," I didn't do that one, I turned it down," he said. ''They were dissin' Jamaicans. They giving them white kids the crack and voodoo (stuff). They think all Jamaicans are criminals." Mouse said he has had to put up with a lot of prejudices because he is Jamaican. "They think because you're a Jamaican, you're a smuggler," he said. "It's dangerous stereo-

typing." One of the songs off his latest album "UNeek" (Mango/Island Records), called "Border Patrol," was inspired by an incident that occurred due to such stereotyping. "I come into the airport and it looks like they were waiting for us. They check our bags and then this man, he pulls us over. I say, 'What's taking so long? I ain't got no weed,' " he remembered. "I never bring no drugs into the country. I'm not an idiot All because I'm from Jamaica, they think I'm bringing weed." Even though there are a lot of barriers he says he must contend with, Mouse bas enough love for the music to continue. He encourages others to get involved, but only for the love of music. Mouse advises, "Make sure you love the music and want to do it, not because they want to wear hype clothes, make a lot of money and get 10 to 15 chicks. Love the music, (and) everything else, it come natural."

The program recruits the assistance of college students to test their marketing skills in a "real world situation," Barker said.

Barker said he was impressed with the work ethic and professionalism of the voluneers. "This event didn't happen overnight," he said. "They put a tremendous amount of time into this project.

Science is pursuing goals it has no business in dealing with By Bjarne Olson

Staff Writer s we move even closer to the 21st Century, technology has increased with time. But is all technology beneficial to us? In the case of the cloning of human cells, the answer should be no. The debate over cloning human cells has been brewing for years ever since the first cells of frogs and cows were cloned back in the 1950s. Now that human cells are involved, the issue is no longer scientific, but moral. Recently, two scientific researchers, Dr. Robert Stillman and Jerry Hall, successfully cloned a human embryo using new genetic methods. Should these methods be allowed to continue unsupervised and unregulated? In a recent Time!CNN poll, 40 percent of the sampling polled said that research into cloning should be temporarily halted and another 37 percent say that testing should be banned altogether. Several countries already regulate the cloning of human cells according to the Nov. 8 edition of Time. Britain requires a license that the governing body refuses to ever grant, while the Japanese prohibit cloning by guidelines set by their society. Why shouldn't the government of the

United States make similar rules to regulate the process? Three out of four of those sampled completely disapprove of the concept of cloning. Much of this disapproval stems from many people believing that they are entitled to their own genetic identity, according to Daniel Callahan, director of the Hastings Group, an ethics-research organization in New York. It is obvious that further attempts at perfecting the process of cloning human cells would jeopardize this right Germain Griez, a professor of Christian ethics at Mount Saint Mary's College in Maryland, brings up an interesting note. "The people doing this ought to contemplate splitting themselves in half and see how they like it." Reseachers seem intent in developing this process, stating that it is a scientific breakthrough which will help everyone from cattle ranchers to expectant mothers. But according to the Time!CNN poll, 90 percent of the woman sampled said that they would not want to have their embryo cloned. In addition, 86 percent of the entire sampling said they would not want to have been a clone if the technology had been available when they were conceived. With the extent of the disapproval, it would be in the best interest of researchers and our government alike, to look into establishing regulations over the process of cloning.

The Green

Column Mireille Samson

Free trade will bolster • enVIronment f you oppose the North American Free Trade Agreement because you think it may be bad for the environment, it's time to change your tune. NAFTA, the agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada, will provide the U.S. with the leverage it needs to promoteenvironmentalstandardsin the other two North American countries. In theNAFTAdebatebetween Vice President AI Gore and Ross Perot last week, both politicians used the environment to support their arguments, and it left many viewers wondering whether this deal struck is a good one or not. Opponents of NAFTA claim the pact sacrifices the environment for profits since industries built in Mexico, for instance, would not be subject to the same environmental standards as companies in the United States. This, as Perot would say, is hogwash. Equipped with provisions that actually ensure a sanctuary for environmental laws and regulations, NAFTA provides for the enforcement of 37 international environmentallaws in the three countries, including various endangered species acts. Additionally, NAFTA focuses on cleaning up the Mexican-U.S. border, which, for anyone who has ever been to Tijuana can tell you, is a horrific, pollution-infested hellhole that desperate! y needs to be elevated to safe, healthy standards. It also promotes the public's rights to gain access to information about companies that do not comply with environmental laws and allows for citizens to formally complain to those companies. Furthermore, with the lack of tariffs imposed on U.S. exports, NAFTA will allow U.S. manufacturers of machinery and technology that are environmentally friendly to sell their wares to an expanding market for products that protect the environment. This commentary does not consider whether NAFTA will result in the loss or gain of jobs or an increase in immigration. Rather, in discussing the plan from an environmental perspective only, NAFTA may be the only chance we have to impose environmental standards on Canada and Mexico that will have a lasting impact on the face of the Earth. Call your representatives in Congress and tell them to support NAFTA with the environmental provisions.

ASG praised Dear Editor, Hurray for ASG.Finally, commonsense has permeated the ranks of our student government. The decision to terminate the scholarship specifically earmarked for a minority is a good one. Mr. Jenkins, the days of allocating scholarship funds on the basis of race, gender or age are behind us. Thank God. The scholarship was going to send a Palomar student to a program open only to "talented and motivated students of color." You only need to go as far as the dictionary to learn that this would clearly fit the definition of discrimination. Even the proposition of sending a student to a whites only seminar would quickly result in angry protest. Why are some people so quick to forget that the civil rights struggle that has continued for the last 100 years was the result of the same kind of ignorant, separatist thinking. Harry Arnold President, Students for the Advancement of Common Sense

Dear Editor, Concerning the letter to the editor titled "The ASG needs to wake up" in the Nov. 9 edition of The Telescope, I would like to know how the author of this letter expects a "built-in mandate(d)" position in the ASG? What are you proposing now, a mandatory election where persons are forced to run for office? Well now, aren't we democratic? One of the authors of the letter personally told me, 'The ASG is not rainbow or minority friendly." I urge the students of Palomar to research the past membership of the ASG to refute this claim. I guess this person does not think African American, American Indian, Hispanic, female, handicapped, gay or others are

Dear Editor, In your previous issue of the Telescope, you printed an article and an editorial with serious and inaccurate allegations regarding both of us. We were shocked and surprised that a college newspaper would engage in such unprofessional journalism. You allowed yourself to be manipulated by one source, Mr. Mario Mendez, without corroborating your story. Your editorial even contained a misquote containing unusual verbiage. To set the record straight regarding last spring's advanced volleyball class, there was a misunderstanding regarding which one of us was to teach the class. Our department chairman, Mr. Tony Lynds, told us to work it out. His only concern was to serve the best interests of the students, as this is the P.E. department's largest and most popular sports class. There was never an attempt to "subcontract" the course as Mr. Mendez implies. You have also claimed that there was an attempt to censor your article by "individuals." You may have perceived this, because this matter was a confidential personnel issue being dealt with at the

Editor's Note: While "misunderstandings" have been charged, the McFarlands failed to dispute facts reported in the Nov. 9 article. The Telescope staff stands by the information and quotes obtained in interviews with Teri McFarland and Tony Lynds that appeared in both the article and editorial.

Students angry over coffee stand snafu Dear Editor, I am truly disappointed in Palomar College. This is my first semester here and already I see that this place is merely a business. As I'm sure you are aware, Java Daze will be leaving our campus at the end of this semester due to their lease being raised. Students likeJ avaDaze very much, but apparently the almighty dollar is more important to campus officials. I noticed and signed a petition to keep Java Daze at the campus, but as I have noticed before, schools don't care about petitions because the people who decided to raise Java Daze's lease are not affected if the students that they affect are unhappy. Petitions work well with politicians because if the people are unhappy, they can be voted out of office; but school officials don't seem to care about petty things like the happiness of students when they are blinded by dollar signs.

___bon is not the way

e the Telescope staff believe that any internship program or scholarship funded by the ASG should be open to all students on the basis of merit and not based upon one's sex, race or creed. There are plenty of scholarships which cater to the needs of minorities. These exclude entire groups of people because of their gender or race. This is perfectly acceptable because these programs are the result of private donations from sponsors who have every right to determine which students they wish to fund. The difference here at Palomar is that the "Minority Leaders Fellowship Program" is partially funded by the ASG, whose purpose is to serve all students, not just those who

considered rainbow or minorities. The students of Palomar should view these claims for what they are, hot winded and unsubstantiated! Granted, the ASG is not perfect. Are you? I didn't think so. Were the authors perfect while they served in the ASG? I didn't think so.

trying to create bias in awarding of scholarships is disparaging. Especially when that group of individuals is the same group which has been crying loudest about the hiring policies of the college board. You cannot ask for diversity on one subject and not on another. t should be understood that the bylaw which the ASG is claiming reason for postponing of the "Minority Leaders Fellowship Program," was enacted by a minority member of the ASG intended to prevent the exact bias which certain minorities are arguing against. We commend the efforts of the student government to standfast by their principles and not backdown to the pressures of certain private interest groups.

Final Cuts

Southern California sifts through ashes By John Harasciuk Staff Writer Firestorm '93 bas come and gone (we hope!), but the last fortnight bas left some major tasks for Southern California to take on. The flrst and most obvious job is to rebuild the homes in Malibu, Laguna Beach, and AltaDena that were destroyed by the wildfrres. While that will take some time, it could single bandedly put the meek California building indusrty back in buisness. In most cases, the only money paid out will be by the insurance companies, most of which have been sticking it to their customers with high premiums for years now. A second major task is to find the arsonists (possibly arsonist??) responsible for setting nineteen of the twenty-six flres that ravaged Southern California for two

weeks. Police seem to think that they have one of them in custody already. I however, don'tbelievethatanybodyisstupidenougb to write dozens of letters telling people that he is going to bum L.A. One theory that I think can be thrown out is that the frres were set by people protesting the Reginald Denny decision. (Is there any part of L.A. thatbasn' t burned over the last two years?) If they do catch the person who did it, rather than a conventional jail sentence, I would sentence him toonehour....... inalockedroom with some of the people who lost their houses in the frre. (Hey, let Charles Bronson talk to them!) Finally, the largest task for Southern California is to work on preventing this from happening again in the future. One Poway City Counselman wants to have weeklycbecksofallknownmigrantcamps

(who started the Poway/Rancho Bernardo frre on November 6). What are they going to check for? to see if there are no unattended frres? Working in the only real hardware store in the greater Poway area, I can tell you that of the migrants that shop our store, the only thing that 95% of them buy is camping stove fuel, which they purchase by the gallon. There is no way to watch all of them to make sure that they listened to Smokey the Bear instead of Beavis and Buttbead when it came to playing with frre! I am surprised that the media hasn't tried to blame everybody's favorite MTV cartoon characters for the recent outbreak of frres. The only way to prevent fires is to educate the people who live in frre-dangerous areas, and around here that means all of Southern California.

Recent fmdings have shown these so-called causes of disease are with us all the time. It is only when our immune system becomes compromised that infections give us the signs and symptoms of ill health. One of the most common causes of a compromised immune system is an inability to handle stress. There are many definitions of stress. The definition that I am going to use is "any force that causes a reaction in our autonomic nervous system." As Hans Seley pointed out, there are two kinds of stress: "eustress," which bas constructive effects and "distress," which causes

I'm not arguing that football should be condemned, but that viewers should make more responsible decisions in the amount of football they watch. Many of my friends will watch any team, at any time, so long as a brown leather ball is involved. Those in favor of football argue

that games are exciting, actionpackedand full of enjoyment They also argue that the sport provides an escape from the hassles and worries of daily life. Football bas become, to many, a national pastime. Then again, so have crime, violence and drugs. Be thankful at least that the season comes to a hiatus in January.

The Match-Up At 9-0 the Comet football team has an opportunity to close out the regular season undefeated for the first time in the school' s 47 year history with a victory over visiting Southwestern College. The game takes place tomorrow at Ex caliber Field on the campus of San Marcos High school. Game time is 1:30 p.m . The 3-6 Apaches come into this game in second place in the Southern division oftheMissionconference. TheComets,rankedNo.1 in the nation by theJC-Grid Wire and USA Today, have everything to lose in this game. While it should be a relatively easy win for Palomar, Southwestern does pose a minor problem.

Apaches Game Plan Hey, Comets, meet your evil twin brother, a.k.a Southwestern College. Apaches Head coach Bill Kinney will even tell you that offensively, his team is a "mirror image" of Palomar. Admittedly the Apaches have stolen many plays from the Palomar playbook. The Apaches are led by sophomore QB Jorge Munoz. The 6-foot2, 205 pound Munoz bas tied or broken several Apache passing records . In his freshman year he passed nearly as prolifocly as Comet QB Tom Luginbill passing for 2596 yards and 14 touchdowns. His receiving targets include leading catcher and All Conference player Bobby Lugo and Johnny Ballard. In the one back offense--again a Palomar concept-Southwestern boasts 5-foot-11, 211 pound Derrick Jenkins. The offense of Southwestern will score points and often. Their game plan is to keep the ball for as long as they can to keep pressure of their defense.

THE BODYGUARD

Reports say that the Comets are relatively healthy on the offensive side. Practices this week were particularly intense and it appears they are not fudging or getting complacent about their situation-which is of course a win guarantees them a Mission Conference title and a shot to play for the national championship in an upcoming bowl game. They're poised and ready. A win puts them in a position to be the grandest community college football team in the nation.

The 'H0USe' is a

Fita strength Deception is a big word-a very big word, if you know what I mean-when talking about Bradley Fita, Palomar football team's 340-pound Samoan nightmare offensive lineman. He doesn't necessarily look like he weighs over 300 pounds-but he does. He prefers old Motown and rock music like the Eagles and the Commadores to rap or pop. While be looks menacing-and is on the fieldhe's one of the most pleasent and personable people to talk to on the entire campus. Most deceiving is Fita' s true weight- an issue that's hard to measure. "Between my junior and senior season I weighed almost 400 pounds," said Fita, who can squat nearly 700 pounds. Because regular scales never went high enough for him, Bradley never knew his true weight until he visited a special werebouse. "I was with a freind," recalled Fita whose loving friend took bimn to his place of work where there lyed an industrial size scale to weigh large cans. "! hopped on the big platform and it said '397 pounds'," said a laughing Fita bose friends have a nickname for bim-"House." After starting all four years at Oceanside High school and making All-League in his junior and senior years, Bradley sat out for the first time ever when he came to Palomar this year. But it didn't take long for coaches to realize size is not all be possessed. He showed amazing strength and size and it won him that starting job eventually. But it never bothered Fita, who anticipated a year from the sideline. "At tryouts we bad 13 guys who could all play," said Fita. "I came into this year thinking that I would sit out the entire year because we had so many capable players. "I said to myself 'you have to start somewhere'. I didn't care who started I just wanted to play. I don't mind being on the bench." Bradley feels that if he takes the attitude he can be the highest quality a backup can be, that he'll excell as a starter. Diet for Fita is the see-food diet. He says be anything and everything. "When ever I see something I just eat it," he said. Favorites you ask? The George Forman of Palomar college has a quick answer. "Ah, that would have to be chicken, fish and rice," he said. "That's a Samoan favorite."

Soccer clinches rare post-season bid By John Harasciuk

Staff Writer The Comet men's soccer team used a 2-1 victory over College of the Desert Wednesday to propel themselves into the league playoffs and into a position to win a share of the Paciflc Coast Conference championship for the flrst time in over 12 years. With a victory today at Southwestern college, the Comets (8-2l)willmoveintoaftrstplacetiein the PCC with San Diego City College (9-2-1) who wrapped up their season Wednesday with a win. A win would give the Comets' their

Team feels ifs time togo bowling Kristian Pope

Sports Editor In August of this year, the Palomar football team was given the prestigeous honor of being the No. 1 team in the nation by the JC Grid-

Wire. Nine wins later, and in search of going undefeated in the regular season, the Comets are still the No. 1 team in the nation. With two more victories--one tomorrow against visiting Southwestern College (1:30 p.m. at Excaliber Field on campus of San Marcos High school), and the other in a bowl game appearance, the Comets would fmish what they started completing their 11 game season as the No. 1 team in the nation thus 1993 National champions. For the vast majority of the team the prospect of going to a bowl game to play for the national championship is indescribable. But then there's star wide receiver Andreal Climon. ''Well it's like this," said Climon, a second year player at Palomar. "Imagine when you get your flrst bike and you're so excited about it. You can't wait to ride it. And you know when you get that bike you'll have all day Saturday to ride it." Palomar's bowl possibilities (which would be the program's sixth straight bowl bid) include flying to San Francisco to play San Francisco City College (9-0, No. 2 in the nation). Or a trip to Bakersfield could be in the works to play No.3 Bakersfield College in the Potato Bowl in early December in front of an anticipated crowd of over 20,000. "If we win Saturday, our bowl game, no matter who we play, will be for the national championship," said Head coach Tom Craft.

Uving with 0ÂĽ By Wendy Urushima

Contributing Writer I am not a football fan. I am not alone. Callmeun-American, butlbave my reasons. Sure, I commend the Comets for their outstanding season. I was a cheerleader in high school and never missed a game. I'm even a season ticket bolder for the Aztecs. (It was a gift.) Football, however, is a prime example of too much of a good thing.
