years a student who allegedly sexually harassed three women on campus.

The student, Joe Jones, has been notified of the disciplinary action by Jim Bowen, director of student activities.

"He can request a hearing if he wants to but he has got to get some treatment before we let him back (on campus)," Bowen said.

Jones, who has been in the disabled student services program, has a history of sexually harassing females, according to campus security officials at both Miracosta and Palomar colleges.

In three ~te complaints filed whh Palomar's campus patrol in the past two weeks, the women charged that Jones verbally sexually harassed them, and in one incidenttouched one of them on the buttocks. He has not been charged or arrested by law enforcement in connection with any of the incidents.

Jones was previously suspended last June for allegedly harassing two staff members according to Bowen. He was permitted back on campus for the spring semester through an agreement with Ron Haines, the director of Disabled Student Programs and Services.

The suspension expired at the beginning of this semester, but the first week of school, Jones allegedly harassed one female student on three separate occasions: following her around, meeting her at the bus stop, asking her sexually oriented questions and at one point

putting his hands on her buttocks, according to a Campus Patrol report.

On Feb. 3, when Jones met the victim for the second day in a row, she contacted Campus Patrol officials.

On Feb. 4, Jones was reported harassing two other female students. One of the victims, who asked to remain anonymous, was taking a break from her art class when Jones approached her.

"He came over and introduced himself as Joe, and sat closely next to me on the bench.

He was looking me up and down - leering at me. I felt violated and scared when he was talking to me," she said.

A classmate of the victim also approached

by Jones asked her questions such as "Do you feel pain?'' and ''What makes you happy?" according to the Campus Patrol report.

Another report was filed by a witness who observed Jones allegedly harassing a woman on her way to her car in parking lot 9.

Jones' history of harassing females goes back to 1991,according to the District Supervisor of Campus Security for Miracosta College in Oceanside, Robert Norcross.

"He harassed females- put his arms around them- hung around in certain areas," Norcross said.

Controversial Nation of Islam Days Are Rough For Transplanted Shop Speaker Packs Board Room •Education is Focus of Speech By Islamic Minister Alex Ebel Staff Writer

Rahim Muhammad, the local representative of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, told Palomar students last Wednesday night that he was there to "re-educate" them.

"You haven't been educated, you've been indoctrinated," he told a standing-room only crowd in the Governing Board Room Feb. 9.

Often surrounded by controversy, the organization was invited to campus by the African American Student Alliance. AASA representative Cecilio Des use formally introduced Minister Rahim Muhammad to the audience. Desuse asked the audience to "Open your mind and open your heart," and ''To listen to what the brother has to say."

"You can have the truth but without understanding you have no knowledge," he said.

"You must have an understanding of what an education is for. Can your educators be using your education against you to keep rich people in power and have poor people with meaningless jobs?" he asked the audience.

"We're going to re-educate you tonight," he said with a smile. "Education has got to go deep in your soul."

Evicted Fraternity Trashes House A University of Southern Maine fraternity member was charged with assault on an alumnus delivering an eviction notice while fellow brothers were accused of trashing a house to the tune of $5,000 in damages when they were told to leave.

The owner of the bouse, the Tau Kappa Epsilon Lambda-Delta Chapter House Corp., is considering criminal and civil action against fraternity members, officials said.

Six months of increasing tension between the defunct TKE chapter, whose recognition by the national TKE organization was suspended, and the university came to ahead in late January. The altercation occurred when TKE alumnus Shawn Babine, accompanied by mem-

bers of the Gorham Police Department, tried to serve an eviction notice on 17 fraternity members living at the TKE house on the Gorham campus.

Anthony P. Fiorino, a member of the former TKE chapter, was charged with assault. Babine said the fraternity members did an estimated $5,000 in damages to the house after they learned they bad been given 72 hours notice to move out.

"It was demolished," Babine said. ' 'The stairwell leading to the second floor was tom out, and the wall where the crest was hanging -and the TKE crest itself - was wrecked. They simply say 'boys will be boys,' and that mentality is no longer acceptable within the university or the community."

Pieces of furniture were nailed high in trees, files and fmancial records were burned and "explicit graffiti" about Babine's wife and university officials was scrawled on surfaces, Babine said.

from the College Press Service ''They want to be treated likeadults but they're not willing to treat anyone else with the same respect,·' Babine said of the fraternity members. ''The alumni corporation has not yet determined, but has definitely not ruled out the possibility of both civil and criminal action to recuperate damages to the property as well as an estimated $10,000 in missing rents."

Several fraternity members contend they had been willing to relocate, but were not been given a fair amount of time to complete the move. ''The local (TKE) board found out about a month ago that we were going to have to move out and the guys found out Saturday,'' two days before the eviction notice was served, said Pat Murray, a member of the fraternity.

Babine said the fraternity bas a history of"fmancial problems, physical violence, sexual assault, community disturbances, and alcohol violations."

on Sexual Harassment

After receiving a series of complaints in November 1991, Miracosta security placed an undercover female officer in the vicinity of the previous complaints and Jones harassed her.

According to Norcross that led to Jones' suspensionfromMiracostaonNov. 9, 1991. Miracosta officials obtained a restraining order against Jones prohibiting him from campus grounds.

•Revisions coincide with unprecedented number of sexual harassment complaints· Peter Delgado

for sexual favors or other visual, unwritten, verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature.

Examples of harassing behavior include making derogatory comments and jokes of sexual nature. Inappropriate sexually oriented comments on appearance, including dress or physical features, or comment about a person's sexuality or sexual experience are also considered harassment. This also includes written harassment such as suggestive or obscene letters, notes, or invitations.

Physical harassment in the revised policy is defined as touching, pinching, grabbing, patting, poking, or brushing against another person's body. Kissing, hugging, impeding or blocking movement, and assault also fall into the new definition of sexual harrassment.

Offering employment or academic benefits in exchange for sexual favors, and threatening reprisals after a negative response to sexual advances are also considered sexual harassment.

Staff Writer

The Palomar Community College Governing Board changed its existing sexual harassment policy in the board meeting on Jan. 25.

The revisions included the addition of specific examples of behavior considered sexual harassment, and dissemination of this policy.

The old policy, according to Jane Enright, Associate Vice President of Human Resources and Affirmative Action, did not spell out the defmitions of sexual harrassment, and legal changes made the revisions necessary. "Some legislations had changed that require us to include in the policy specific examples of behavior that constitute sexual harassment," she said.

With the changes, sexual harassment, in the context of the revised policy, includes any unwelcome sexual advances, requests

"I was on patrol that day and I recognized him. He was arrested on the spot," Norcross said.

As part of his sentence for violating the restraining order at Miracosta, Jones was required to perform 45 hours of community service work. Palomar regularly utilizes community service workers, and Jones enrolled in the program to fulfill his court- appointed community service hours.

Fee Hike Proposal Scares Officials The evening class enrollment at Palomar College dropped this semester by 8. 6 percent as compared to the 1993 spring semester. The cut in enrollment can be attributed to fee increases and the differential fee that went into effect, stressed Dr. Boggs.

School officials and students are fearful thata$7-per-unithikeproposedinGov.Pete Wilson's state budget proposal may cut enrollment at community colleges.

The measure will raise fees from $13 to $20 a unit, doubling the $10 per unit cost in just two years.

Goes New Wave •KKSM is on Cable Alex Ebel Staff Writer

KKSM, the student-run radio station on the Palomar College campus, has changed the way listeners hear its signal.

On Feb. 7, KKSM started transmitting their signal via Digital Cable Radio, or DCR, in order to take advantage of the new technology available.

Traditionally, KKSM had broadcast on Dimension Cable's Radio Service on the FM band at 98.9 on the dial.

Dimension Cable, which serves inland North County, will offer the student radio broadcast on DCR channel 35-B. Production Manager Todd Bischoff says that, "We're already getting phone calls and requests from listeners." He added that, "It's CD quality sound. It will make us sound more professional."

While most music offered on the cable service is void of commercials and announcers, KKSM will continue to use its student announcers. Dimension Cable will offer the music service to its subscribers for a monthly fee of $9.95.

On Feb. 7, various Palomar College and Dimension Cable Services officials dedicated the new service.

Vice President of Instruction Mary Lee Lewis and Dean of Media, Business and Community Services, William Flynn, attended along with Dimension Cable Vice President and General Manager Thomas R. Tomkins, Director of Public Affairs Ross Carr, and Director of Marketing and Sales Jim Crawford.

New ASG T-shirts Designed JAVA to Increase Aware ness Sara Rettus Staff Writer

John Conzemius lifestyle Editor

In effort to improve its image to the students and encourage involvement, the ASG during it's Feb. 9 meeting came up with an innovative way to "expose itself."

ASG Senator Sue Martin and ASG Executive Vice President Grant Marcos recommended that the ASG approve up to $400 from emergency services for the purchase of 15 T -Shirts ($26.67 each).

Martin proposed to put the names and positions of each ASG official on the back of the TShirts, to make the student government more visible to the students.

"I want to ~e some warm bodies here," said Martin, referring to five open senator seats on the student government body.

According to ASG Treasurer Amy Curtis, the funds for the T-Shirts come from the profits made on lockers, vending and the food sold in the cafeteria.

In other news, ASG Vice President of State Affairs Jim Coyle informed the student government of Gov. Pete Wilson •s proposal to hike the fees for

community colleges. Coyle said that Wilson's projected tuition increase would be approximately $20 a unit with no cap.

However, Coyle said this estimate is exaggerated. "I suspect it will end up $15 a unit with a cap, but some sources in the government say there will be no increase at all."

ASG Senator Heather Martonik resigned from the student government, leaving a flfth senate seat open. Last week Martonik had been elected to be the Official ASG liaison to the Advisory Board on AIDS education.

Martonik said she was unhappy with the way some ASG members were treating her friend Ernie Rivera, a Palomar employee who bas

AIDS. Martonik said she was also upset with the ASG's attitude toward the speech because it did not live up to her expectations.

Martonik said ASG President Denny Ngo never showed her respect, while she has done nothing to deserve the cold treatment.

When asked to comment to Martonik' s accusations, Ngo responded by saying "I treat everyone in ASG equally."

According to Bryant Guy, contracts and special projects manager, all independent food establishments operating on Palomar are required to give the scbool28 percent of their total gross after taxes. The money is then used by the ASG to provide various student services.

"Java Daze operated on campus with a 10 percent rate for 18 months under a trial basis to see if there was a demand for their product," said Food Services manager Pat Barrett.

Guy added that Loo was aware that his contract rate would be rebid after his initial operatingperiod.

"But I was now assuming the bid would only increase from 10 percent to 15 or 18 percent," said Loo. "Twentyeight percent is way outofline.I'vedone a lot of research and pulled quotes from campuses in Los Angeles. Orange County, and La J oil a that bad espresso carts as well."

According to Loo, the bid requirement is 12 percent at UCSD and Scripps Memorial Hospital, and 15 percent at Saddleback College. ''These other areas have higher costs of living, and they're only asking for anywhere from 10- 15 percent. Palomar is asking for 28 percent. What makes San Marcos so special? That's what I want to know. What makes Palomar's leases 50 percent higher?" addedLoo. During the Nov. 19 Governing Board meeting, Loo presented a petition with 900 signatures in support of Java Daze and submitted a proposal saying be would pay

the school a maximum of20 percent commission if nine conditions were met, but be would only agree to 15 percent without the conditions.

Under Loo's proposal, Palomar would be required to build new counters for Java Daze, provide refrigeration and storage space, allow him use of campus ice machines, and reduce a security deposit amount from $2,500 to $500.

"Some of these conditions were already in effect, but I didn't feel comfortable not having them on paper," said Loo. "What I proposed was not unreasonable."

He felt that the request to have Palomar pay for the construction of counters is warranted since the college provided that service to the Honey Buns Bakery, which also operates in the Student Union.

Guy responded by saying the Health Department bad required the college to rebuild the bakery's counters in order to meet health codes.

Additionally, Loo •s proposal would have forbid the school from selling "products containing coffee, espresso coffee, flavored coffee, or coffee related products (hot or cold)" without permission from Java Daze.

"We're not about to agree to these conditions because the Snack Shack is already operating, and we want to provide this service [serving coffee] to students at north campus, too," said Guy. According to Loo, business was better at Palomar. "It bas been slow far, but it's a start.

Right now, we're losing a little bit."

He attributes the decrease in business to being too far from campus. "But, we have been getting a lot of repeat customers, and we might start a delivery service to the school," be added.

"It has been slow so far, but it's a start. Right we're losing a

littk bit. "

IN 'SCOPE Education at Palomar isn't always limited to the classroom. For students enrolled in the Life Science Department's field studies class, semester break was spent chasing giant puffer fish through clear warm water, scrambling up the roots of strangler fig trees, and sliding down muddy rainforest slopes. They were discovering the Caribbean island of Dominica.

Ranging in age from 19 to 70, the group travelled over 3,000 miles to study the marine biology and botany of this West Indian island.

Volcanic in origin, Dominica has towering green mountains covered in dense tropical forest and is rich in unique flora and fauna. There are countless waterfalls, and the locals like to say there are 365 rivers on Dominica, onefor¡every day of the year.

After students put their field study guides away, they checked out live reggae music and sampled Caribbean-style curry burritos called "roties." Evenings, the group gathered to review observations of the day, and retell favorite stories like the one about the teacher who got left at a waterfall and wasn't missed until the vans returned to the hotel four hours later.

What had been billed as a moderate hike to a remote freshwater lake tumed into a rainy sixhour slog up steep rain forest slopes. Those who made it to the top affectionately renamed this excursion the "Death March."

On an early-morning birdwatching expedition, local naturalist Bertrand .Jean Baptiste confers with lead instructor Dr. Nancy .Jessop while balancing breakfast provisions on his head Dominican-style.

Marine biology professor Lester Knapp videotapes a coral reef. In the evenings, the class reviewed the tapes to help identify the species seen in the field. Fellow faculty members Wayne Armstrong and Bob Ebert assisted students In botanical and biological study.

Uniformed school children head home. Dominica is waging a campaign to educate children about the unique ecological status of their island and the importance of preserving it. School children raised money to help purchase the 20,000 acre Syndicate Forest Preserve, home to the endangered Imperial parrot.

Reviewing the Palomar Dining Experience Jeanne Marie LeDoux

€ntrees

Staff Writer

~you for joining us at "Almost Gourmet," your source for on-campus dining.

We offer a wide assortment of cuisine with varying degrees of quality.

Sometimes Palomar students, due to their busy schedules, find that they lack the time for a conventional meal. To meet this demand, a campus convenience store, The Snack Shack, (clever name, bub?), opened its doors last semester.

In the case of The Snack Shack, there is some good news and some bad news.

Some really bad news.

I was very happy to find that The Snack Shack does in fact carry a variety of delicious and actually healthy foods. For example, the snacks offered include fresh and natural carrot juice, bananas, and "Naked Foods"- not that easy to find in the outside world.

But if none of these foods appeal to the diner, The Snack Shack is sure to disappoint, rendering it like an underfunded 7-11 without benefit of video games or lottery tickets. The coffee is horrible, and the sandwiches are, at best, mediocre, albeit ridiculously over priced- $2.85 for a stale roast beef and cheddar sandwich.

If that's not bad enough, the hot dogs were less than appetizing, and downright dangerous looking. They were oozing, not draining, mind you, oozing with grease and seemed to be either over or under cooked, depending upon the time of day they were observed.

For students in search of a more traditional (sit-down) meal, the campus boasts two restaurants. Pepe'sMexican Cuisine is an interesting place to begin. Pepe's has been on campus for two years now, and is quite effective in delivering authentic Mexican food and great service at reasonable prices.

For Nacho enthusiasts like me, Pepe's offers processed cheese Nachos at $1.3 5. Of course, the plastic-tasting pseudo-Velvetta cheese can be a turn-off for some. For those who want real cheese, the prices run a bit higher.

All reports indicate that the enchiladas, tostadas, chimichangas and burritos get a unanimous thumbs up. While there were exceptions, rapid service bas also been observed, even during peak hours.

A lot of students and staff members are uncertain about The Palomar Cafeteria.

One Palomar Library staff member's opinion typifies the general student reaction to the cafeteria, which is more or less a mixed bag.

She said that the cafeteria food was "okay," with the soups and chili being quite tasty, but the hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries were "just too greasy" for her taste.

Most students would probably agree given the amount of healthy foods ~ffered in response to apparent demand.

One aspect that the cafeteria real! y bas to work on is food appearance. On a recent visit, I was disgusted to find that the lasagna had that leather-skinned, sitting-in-the-pan all day-please throw me out" look, all for

$3.55. As Eddie Murphy might say, "what a bargain!"

One eight-year-old Palomar ballet student remarked that her com dog was "very good"- but upon one whiff of the aroma of the vegetarian chili, refused to dive in.

To my surprise, the cafeteria offers professionally catered Chinese food, delivered fresh not once, but twice each day. It is said to be delicious and authentic in flavor.

The highest praise for the cafeteria's food came from Mathematics major Malia Smith and her co-student/husband, Scott Smith.

The Smiths recommend the triple rye bread, layered meat and cheese club. With "the works," it really does stack up.

The cafeteria salad bar offers a complete selection of healthy items including the ever tempting raw spinach.

One student recommends "topping the spinach with grated cheese, olives and cucumbers, and you've got a filling meal."

In the final analysis, it is clear that the cafeteria does serve some good food, contrary to popular belief.

However, with its widely varying food quality and reckless disregard for food appearance, the eater is faced with a ce~ type of culinary caveat emptor: let the diner beware.

Sourmet Coffee.

If there is one thing Palomar students need, it is that mandatory morning caffeine fix. Actually one can enjoy a tasty cup of any one of eight to ten flavors at any hour of the day at Cafe Franco's - Palomar's new gourmet coffee station. Franco's not only offers the fancy coffee varieties, butifthatis not enough flavour for you, it also offers an extensive assortment of the now popular Laurentis syrups (too artificial forme). Real cream and honey are also on hand for the true connoisseur. In comparison to "Java Daze," now relocated west of Palomar's campus, students report that Franco's is comparable in quality, minus the hike to the Mobil Station.

Tiffany's Yogurt Parlour boasts true Gbiardelli Chocolate and Irish Creme flavors in addition to "Juicy Strawberries."

However, the scoop observed did not appear to be all that juicy to me. Overall, the yogurt itself is good, but perhaps fresh fruit could be offered as a topping for those who do not want Butterfmger bits in their molars for the entire afternoon.

Pepe's employee Ed Perez serves up some authentic Mexican cuisine.

ENTERTAINMENT Valentines~ â&#x20AC;˘ 'Love'ly video rentals can offer comfort to the lonely.

Staf!Writer Valentine's Day is upon us again, whether we want it or not.

For many , this is a happy prospect, promising baskets of heartshaped candies, cards expressing undying love, and kisses from a sweetie ad nauseum. What about the rest of us, who lack that someone special in our lives? Must we brave this cruel, mocking day every year?

Take heart! The loveless need not wallow in unabashed sorrow this year. There are plenty of films waiting on the shelves of your local rental shop that can help ease the pain.

Of interest to the junior college crowd, many of whom have recently escaped high school, is John Hughes' classic "Pretty in Pink."

This movie stars Molly Ringwald as a misunderstood high school senior whose most vital concern is being asked to the senior prom. One afternoon while she is at work, in walks the man of her dreams, Blane (Andrew McCarthy).

The only problem: he's from the rich side of town and she isn't.

Smiles are exchanged, then coy words, and soon the two are madly in love.

Difficulties in their relationship begin to arise. Blane is pressured by his elitist friends to disassociate himself from Andie, whose quirky individuality is threatening to them.

Meanwhile, Andie's longtime friend Duckie (Jon Cryer), who secretly loves her, is becoming in-

A slightly more mature film for the love-abandoned is Cameron Crowe's "Say Anything."This story begins after graduation, in that tumultuous period when friends split apart and futures are considered.

In many aspects, this film is the antithesis of "Pretty in Pink."

between Andie and his friends, and Andie must decide between Blane and Duckie.

Overall, the movie has a charm about it that withstands its many flaws. The plot is straight out of a teen pulp novel and the characters are vastly stereotyped, but in this context they work. The conclusion to the movie is hard to swallow, too. A story which has evolved itself carefully over the course of

John Cusack plays the charismatic Lloyd Dobler, who has his eyes set on class Valedictorian Diane Court (lone Skye). Diane is beautiful, but sheltered, and out of touch with her classmates. Lloyd sees in her a rare innocence, and she is charmed by Lloyd's down-toearth demeanor. The two, barely acquaintances through high school, begin dating and fall quickly in love.

The problems for this film are a

Crowe, in his directing debut, has managed to incorporate all the humor, joy, fear, and depression of post-high-school life into a story that is brash and entertaining, without being tedious or campy.

Cusack, in particular, makes the film work. He plays his role with a vitality and understanding of subtlety not often seen in teen movies. He is off-the-wall, romantic, frank, lovable, and clever, but never

overbearing.

Skye does well to hold her own as Diane, but fails to sparkle and adds little to the role. At times I found it hard to believe Lloyd would be so passionate about her.

While "Pretty in Pink" and "Say Anything" allow the forlorn a brief distraction from their tragic love lives, "Sleepless in Seattle" gets to the root of the problem, inspiring the viewer with renewed confidence that things will eventually work out.

This romantic gem, directed by Nora Ephron, and starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, simply sparkles.

Sam Baldwin (Hanks) is a burntout widower living in Seattle whose son calls a radio talk show and announces to the whole country that his dad desperately needs a new wife. Sam is apalled by this, but reluctantly describes his situation to the show's match-making hostess. Across the country in Maryland, Annie Reed (Ryan) hears Sam' s tale and becomes strangely obsessed.

After a series of emotional and geographic difficulties, the two finally meet. All problems are overcome-her engagement to another man, his reluctance to date again, the physical distance between them.

At each turn the viewer is pulling for them, revelling in the moment when at last they come together.

If Valentine's Day must come, why not quell your bitter feelings by wrapping yourself in a video?

By experiencing love vicariously through the characters, you will satisfy your need.

One thing's for certain: they're sure to entertain. That alone is enough to get you through the day.

'Slackers' Mold New Clique Kristian Pope Editor-in-Chief

"I'm a loser, baby."

No, it's not the lastest trend in fashion or social acceptance, and it doesn't classify a new sound of music. It smacks of plain old laziness.

It's affectionitly known as the slacker mentality.

When our 'progressive' Entertainmenteditor (she said she's been called worse) approached me with this story idea on the growing generation of individuals who are being termed slackers, I must admit I was miffed.

What is it? Who does it classify? Better yet, why do we have to classify another group of people?

Unlike the pre-fab of recent styles, slackers are genuine. Nonetheless, entertainment marketers are taking advantage of this new genre.

Campuses across the nation are chanting to college rock's newest alternative crooners Beck. Thier debutE.P. ''Loser,"personifies the slacker psyche.

Also available is the not-so-recent movie release Slacker. This 1991 film captures the true spirit of being a typical loser.

Set in a Texas college town, there are no starring roles, just glorious, unusual people who defme the slacker.

Let's face it-- the people documented in this film may not be potential millionaires. (Well, the compulsive conspiracy buff wait-

ing for his version of the analysis of Kenndey' s assassination to be published might.) However, between the guy who makes Silly Putty imprints of nightclub stamps to save his friends from paying, and the girl who tries to pawn Madonna's pap smear she got from a friend of a friend's gynecologist, they all seem like a fun bunch to be around.

It's difficult to describe a slacker. Don't tell that to Sassy magazine, though. Their March '94 issue has a "Are You A Slacker?" quiz. Besides asking who the Surgeon General of the U.S. is (some lady, right?) it asks such enlightening questions as what will you be doing when you're 35 years old (huh?) and "can you name MTV' s programming at 11 p.m. on Saturdays?"

The quiz also asked which TV personality is most deserving of admiration. With choices between grizzled journalist Ted Koppel, NBC's blank check Greg Kinnear and personal power mogel Tony Robbins, my obvious answer: Kinnear, because, according to the survey, "it saves me the chore of havingtowatchall the talk shows."

When I answered "having the remote control fixed" to the question of what is on my list of immediate goals, I knew I was in trouble It's official -- I Am A Slacker.

So go ahead and mock me. I guarantee you it's better to mooch off your parents and sleep all day than work your butt off at a deadend job.

REM is one of 16 acts who donated tracks to •Alternative NRG,' the latest release from Greenpeace Records.

Greenpeace Makes Music Sarah Frederiksen Enterlainment Editor

'AltemativeNRG' is the latest release from Greenpeace Records. Their first project, 1989' s ' Rainbow Warriors ' grossed over $4 million worldwide, with proceeds funding their fight for a healthy enviroment.

'AltemativeNRG,' however, nasa twist. Whereas 'Rainbow Warriors' was a mere compilation of tracks by various politically correct rock artists, 'NRG' is a compilation of live tracks recorded by Cyrus Greenpeace's mobile solar powered recording studio.

Welcome to 'Unplugged' -The Next Generation.

Cyrus, set up outside venues in 1992~93, recorded concerts throughout the U.S . Artists were given a tapeoftheirperformance

and chose which track they would contribute to the cause.

REM came out of a three year ban from live performances torecord"Drive," . U2's "Until The End Of The World" was recorded outside San Diego's ownJackMurphy Stadium. The Jesus and Mary Chain's Cramps' cover of "New Kind Of Kick" is from their gig at UCSD's Price Center.

With 16 artists ranging from alternative legends Annie Lennox, U2, and REM to the newer sounds of EMF, P.M. Dawn, and L7, it's hard to pick a primary track from the overall listing. James' acoustic "Ring The Bells" from the Hollywood Palace, strikes a chord, though.

And although the concept somewhat overshadows the content, it's still a worthwhile purchase.

Do you feel students should have access to other students teacher evaluation forms?

Arsonist turning up the heat on meat companies orne vegetarians just take things a bit too far.

An arsonist with a beef against meat companies set fire to two San Diego Meat Co. refrigerator trucks last month, causing $40,000 worth of damage. .

The messages ''meat is murder" and "F.A.R.M. " were spraypainted on the walls of the downtown San Diego meat company. (F.A.R.M. stands for Farm Animal Revenge Militia) The same person is thought to be responsible for a number of other arson incidents in the past couple months against other San Diego meat companies. He (or she) has not yet been apprehended.

So, what's the deal with this guy, you ask?

Oh, just your average pyrovegetarian. Apparently, this particular non-meat eater believes so strongly in his views of not consuming animals that he' s decided to put some heat on animal killers himself.

Well, hey, at least it got their attention.

Don't get me wrong, I don't condone setting vehicles or buildings aflame, but sometimes it takes extreme measures to bring about a positive change in social consciousness.

Solar-made Album Shines Everyone loves cool tunes, but it makes it easier to love an album produced with the Earth in mind.

I'm refening to "Alternative NRG," a compilation album featuring UB40, U2 and R.E.M. Since "Alternative NRG" contains various types of artists, it's sure to appeal to all musical interests.

The album, a first release by Greenpeace Records, was completely recorded and mixed using solar electricity.

Portionsofthesalesfrom "Alternative NRG" will go to Greenpeace.

"... I think it's great how everyone's taking such an interest in our environment these days ... "

Sexual Harassment Is A Touchy Issue The Palomar Community College Governing Board recently approved changes to the sexual harassment policy for the college.

We at the Telescope recognize the possibility for abuse because of the new abstract wording for what actually constitutes harassment.

We would like all concerned to remember the sexual policy is a wide ranging directive which attempts to address a sensitive issue.

We do not condone opening the door for broad accusations against innocent persons whose good intentions are only misinterpreted by others. Yet, we recognize the need for a clear cut policy which protects victims of malicious sexual harassment.

As amended, the new policy includes 'leering' and 'brushing against another person's body', among the many descriptions of sexual harassment.

Can broad generalized descriptions lead to abuse of the policy? Only the Associate Vice President of Human Resources can avoid that scenario.

Questions have been raised as to the defrnitionof'leer' and 'brushingupagainstsomeone's body'. Should we wear blinders to keep us from leering? Can we feel safe from accusations while crowding up to Pepe's for lunch?

Possibly a wanton look could be considered sexual harassment, because the new policy doesn't stipulate what leering truly is. A sidelong glance, if someone were to press the issue, could hold as much weight as a lascivious, knowing or wanton look.

We hope that some persons will not use the policy to arbitrarily claim allegations against persons they don't like being around. A charge of sexual harassment is a hard one to shake.

We must remember that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was never convicted of sexual harassment, yet, two years later his name is still synonymous with it , At the Telescope we hope that the administrators who will be responsible for the administration of this policy will take special precautions to see that persons on both sides of the complaint are dealt with in a fair and equitable manner.

Nicole Garcia Chiropractic Yes, I think there should be some kind of way of knowing what kind of teacher you are going to end up with.

Hate Speech Code Deep-sixed at Penn • University suspends enforcement of hate speech code and will replace it this year PHILADELPHIA - No disciplinary action should be taken against a University of Pennsylvania student who utters a racist, sexist or other politically incorrect comment unless it is accompanied by a physical threat, a committee has recommended.

The university decided Nov. 15, 1993 to suspend enforcement of its existing hate speech code and replace it by the end of the 1993-94 academic year with some form of student mediation.

A 25-member committee charged with identifying alternatives to the speech code recommended a broad series of changes Feb. 1, including replacing the speech code with ''a system of mediation for minor disputes among students, thereby moving the issue away from a more elaborate legal system,'' a news release stated.

The University of Pennsylvania became embroiled in a divisive debate about free speech last year after a white male student called black women students "water buffalo'' because they were making too much noise late one night near his dormitory room.

The student denied that he intended the comment as a racial remark, but the women brought racial harassment charges against him under the university's speech.code. The charges were later dropped, but not before the university became the focus of a national debate on political correctness and how far campuses should go to protect students from harassment while protecting their rights to free speech.

The committee will forward its final report to the university president by March 31 for approval .

Summit Focuses on College Pollution Universities and colleges waste millions of gallons of water and fuel every year while producing thousands of tons of toxic waste and carbon dioxide, environmental protection groups charge. In fact, the average student generates about 640 pounds of garbage a year.

Yet, there are many things that campuses could be doing to change their environmental policies in order to reduce waste and to encourage recycling efforts.

That's the point of the Campus Earth Summit, scheduled Feb. 18-20, at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. Students, faculty and administratorsfrommorethan 125 campuses, including 17 foreign universities, will meet to craft a blueprint for environmental i:e-

form.

The summit marks the first time adminstrators will work with students and environmental leaders to create campus guidelines that can be replicated internationally.

Carol Browner, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, will be the keynote speaker. A special one-hour college edition of "Rock and the Environment" radio show, produced by the Yale Student Environmental Coalition and the Campus Green Vote, will be broadcast to more than 300 colleges the week of the summit to reach students who can't attend . ''From solid waste to radioactive waste, campus policies reflect society's poor environmental practices," saidJeffCourey, chairman of the 1994CampusEarth Summit

and theY ale Student Environmental Coalition, host of the conference. "Universities must lead us into the 21st century by becoming responsible consumers and educators."

Teresa Heinz, chairwoman and chief executive officer of the Heinz Family Foundation, lead sponsor of the summit, says campuses must accept a leadership role in environmental reform.

The biggest environmental culprits on campuses are solid waste, energy use, water use and poor procurement policies. Radioactive substances, toxic chemicals, medical waste, pesticides and air pollution are also pressing problems.

Christy Collins on why the girls basketball team is 4-17.

Hoops Seasons are Ending Bad

I SAY SO! Jason Singer Sporn Editor

I say that it is sick that there is so much violence in sports that has nothing to do with the actual competition.

In the aftermath of the attack on Sean Thomas, the Palomar volleyball player that suffered a fractured left forearm, I can't help but wonder if this is a miniature ver~ion of the Monica Seles attack or the Nancy Kerrigan attack.

I realize that it is somewhat of a far off guess but maybe the attackers were secretly following Sean around and they had a planned out attack on him.

Here's a guess that is even further out there in space. Maybe the two attackers were hitmen and they were hired by a rival volleyball team to take out a Palomar player.

In any case, I don't think that Sean will have a chance to make $30 million off of someone equi valent to the United States Olympic Committee, such as Tonya Harding has attempted to do.

That brings up a good point.

Where in the world is Miss Harding coming from thinking she can make 30 mill' off of our Olympic Committee.

Let's say that, for some ungodly reason, she wins the case. Is that money going to come out of funds for all of the athletes? If it does she would be hurting all of the athletes, not just Nancy Kerrigan, as she somewhat allegedly has had apart in. ¡ Back to our own star athlete that was mauled. Sean is most likely just a victim of gang violence. He is not some guy that his attackersdesired. Heisnotaplayer that some opposing team singled out as the guy to hurt so that Palomar won't be unbeatable.

This is just another case of an athlete being injured while not playing his respective sport. Sean Thomas is the unlucky one that is going to miss a few weeks of the season because he has a fractured forearm. In the meantime, I think Sean should figure out a way to spend his $30 million. Yeah right!

The Feb. 9 match against Southwestern summed up the Women's Basketball season all too well: forfeit.

The loss was the second forfeit of the season, with the first also coming at the hands of Southwestern. The Comets (4-17, 0-7) literally couldnotputenough players on the court.

Says guard Christy Collins, "We have a problem with commitment. (Some of the players) don't like to come to practice or show up for games. With only five people, if one person is sick, or one person is hurt and can't show up, we have to forfeit." The women also lost on Feb. 11 to Mesa, 84-41.

Jon Cnossen, coach for the Comets, thinks the main problem is an inability to recruit quality players. Says Cnossen, "Next season, what we need is to somehow get some good players in the program."

As far as quality players go, guard Livian Cole is leading the league in scoring at 18 points a game. Center Sheryl Dixon one of the top rebounders in the conference.

Whatever the reason may be, the women's Comets appear to have thrown in the towel for the season.

The men's team has not fared well on the court, either. The team (8-16, 1-9) stayed close for

The Palomar College Men's Tennis team begins its 1994 season with a ninth ranking in the state and aspirations for even greater achievements.

The men's team this year is very young. The Comets lost several players from last year to injuries, graduation, and personal reasons.

These players are gone from a team which finished ninth in the state last season. No other tennis team had fmished that high in the history of Palomar.

Last year's best player, Tim Clark, is trying his luck at professional tennis. This year's number

"The problem," explains Shantz, "lies in discipline."

The squad has quite a lot of potential,however.Althoughcoach Richard Johnson was unavailable for comment, his opinions of the players are printed in the team program, and are more than glowing.

"The problem," explains Shantz, "lies in discipline." Forward Dana Pope, one of the team's top players, started off the season academically ineligible.

Shantz also went on to mention that, "(Forward) ScottSchoenwald had a lot of confidence in high school at Mt. Carmel, but hasn't brought his game up with him to this level."

It has been a rough season for Palomar's basketball programs.

Missing and ineligible players have laced the teams with doubt and little confidence.

If one can look for a bright spot, it is that it is times like these that build character and provide valuable experience for programs which need it desperately.

It's frustrating."

one player, TimBurke,callsClark, "the best player ever to play at Palomar."

Co-head coach Jim Miller said, "I hope this season's bunch of youngsters can match last season's glory and carry the team to its second consecutive ranked season."

Miller was quick to point out that, "All but one of my men were the number one players at their respective [high] schools."

The Comets' no. 1 slot will be filled by Tim Burke, a graduate of San Pasqua! High School.

He will start the season ranked 20th in the state, but he has greater aspirations.

Burke said, "As a personal goal I want to fmish in the top five."

However, like any good athlete he emphasized that, "I want to help the team more."

Burke added, "I hope for the team to fmish in the top three in the state."

Standing in the way of this is what coach Miller calls a "stepped up schedule."

The Comets play two conference matches against number one ranked Grossmont College, and two matches against teams from outside of California.

The two out-of-state teams are from Glendale, Arizona and William and Mary, an NCAA Division I school.

These teams, along with the rest of the scheduled meets should make it an exciting year.
