Student and Brother Attacked •Official Says Charges Filed in Stu~ent Union FightsJames Hatch Copy Editor

Battery charges have been filed by a Palomar student with the San Diego County Sherrif s Department against another student who allegedly struck him outside the Student Union, according to Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd Mahan.

The victim, Eri Hillyer received a gash below his left eye during a fist fight on Thursday March 10, according to a report filed by Campus Patrol

Officer Matt Schlotman. Hillyer informed Officer Scholtman that he was talking to a friend outside the Student Union when the suspect, a Palomar student in his twenties, approached him.

"He asked me what I was staring at," Hillyer told Scholtman. "He was very pushy and wanted to fight," he said.

According to Schlotman, Hillyer said that he tried to stand up and walk away when the suspect punched him in the left eye. Hillyer then responded by striking the man in the genital area,

according to Campus Patrol reports.

"After a few more punches by both, an unidentified black male broke up the fight," Schlotman said in his report. ''Eri Hillyer and a friend then proceeded to Student Health Services."

An hour-and-a-half after the attack on Eri Hillyer, his younger brother Jesse Hillyer, 16, was outside the Student Union, according to Campus Patrol Officer Ben Seavey. At that time he was approached by unidentified persons whom he recognized as friends of See ATTACK, page 5

A recommendation to remove ASG Treasurer Amy Curtis from the government, and confusion over ASG by-laws and the Brown Act consumed most of the ASG' s March 16 meeting.

A report was handed out by Inter-Club Council member Stephen Hough, stating that Curtis had broken ASG bylaws and violated provisions in the Brown Act, California's open meeting law.

Among some of the actions that Hough alleged were not in accordance with the Brown Act and ASG bylaws were not giving 24-hour notice for a special meeting held for the Budget and Finance Committee (which must be advertised in a place accessible to the public), not recording the minutes of the Budget and Finance Committee and allocating funds to WOMANOW withoutgoing through proper procedure.

Hough said that he has nothing against Amy Curtis personally or WOMANOW. He said the reason he brought the report to the attention of Curtis the ASG was because he thinks that the government needs to be acting in accordance with the laws. ''Many of his allegations are unsubstantiated, invalid and ludicrous, but if they prove to be true then I accept full responsibility for them," said Curtis prior to the meeting. "I have nothing to feel guilty for, given the same situation again I would take the same actions. I can discount each and every one of his points, however, I do appreciate that he is an involved student."

Yet, during the meeting Curtis only refuted that she had notes from the Budget and Finance Committee and not See ASG, page 3

Endangered Bird Brings Parking to Halt

Swapping Gnatcatchers

•Gnatcatcher Forces Temporary Delay of New Parking Lot

~@

Francis T. Crowley Open Forum Editor

With the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service {FWS) on their side, the gnatcatchers are winning the battle for Palomar parking spaces.

After being turned down in their ftrst proposal to set aside land protecting the gnatcatcher habitat, Palomar College is awaiting approval on an alternate plan for exchanging preserves for parking areas.

Because gnatcatchers nest on undeveloped college property, the proposed extension of parking areas to accomodate mem-

bers of the community who use theW ellness Center is on hold. As a result, student parking Lot 3 will be temporarily used as parking for the new Wellness Center.

Palomar college's original environmental plan called for the college to set aside three acres of land for the acre of proposed parking lot, near the new Wellness Center, said Mike Ellis of Facilities. That plan was turned down by the FWS which requested that the City of San Marcos submit a plan covering the entire college.

In an attempt to expedite the bureaucratic process, Palomar College's Environmental

Impact Review Committee has submitted their own recommendation hoping the FWS will approve the revised plans during theirnextmeeting in late April.

According to Ellis, there is nothing worse than making plans and having to wait for a governmental agency to make a decision.

The revised environmental plan calls for 25 percent of the campus property being set aside against any See BIRD, page 4

NEWS ASG

" This Salurday a special work slwp put on by the governing board will be held to clarify the Brown Ad, and to answer any questions on how it will effed the ASG."

-Associated Student Government President Denny Ngo

formal minutes. Curtis also said that she could not refute the allegations because Hough handed out a new report at the ASG meeting and she did not have time to prepare.

Hough, who represents Phi Beta Lambda on the ICC, said the only new items that were put into the report had to do with money allotted to the Afrikan-American Student Alliance, and that Curtis brought that subject up herself in the meeting by saying that if she had broken a bylaw regarding WOMANOW, the same would have been true for money allocated to the AASA. Curtis left the meeting soon after.

After Curtis spoke, ASG members came to her defense.

"This is a witch hunt," said ASG Senator Sue Martin "What in the world is the Brown Act? The bylaws are created to serve the students ... we are all learning."

"What is it, do you have too much time on your hands or like to hear yourself speak?" ASG Senator Cody Lutsch asked Hough.

"Don't waste our time on this dribble." ASG President Denny Ngo immediately asked that the body show some respect for the

speakers.

Martin added, "I don't believe Amy was aware of anything illegal." Other members of the body expressed the same opinion.

Houghrepliedthateveryonehas access to the Brown Act, and that the ASG constitution follows it. l?alomarstudentinerThorson who attend the meeting said "Ignorance of the law doesn't carry it."

Hough said the reason he was recommending that Curtis be removed is that according to ASG by laws " ... if you violate them you are required to leave."

Members of the ASG continued to walk in and out of the meeting and the issue was dropped.

ASG Vice President of Social Events Sharron Hubbard said that they (ASG) should put together a committee to look into it, but did not feel Curtis should be forced out.

The general consensus of the ASG was that Curtis should not be removed and the episode should serve as a learning tool for everyone on the ASG. According to new additions to the Brown Act which go into effect April 1, District Attorneys will be

expressly authorized to bring civil actions as well as criminal actions against legislative bodies that violate the Brown Act Ngo noted that" This Saturday a special workshop put on by the governing board will be held to clarify the Brown Act, and to answer any questions on how it will affect the ASG." In other news, an action was made to put a motion on next· week's agenda to re-vote on Palomar student Kelly Lupro' s request to serve as a Senator on the ASG. Last week Lupro was voted down.

In order to comply with the Brown Act if an open ballot is requested, the ASG will not be allowed to vote by secret ballot as they did last week. As of April1, the body will have to vote by an open ballot even if no request is made.

In a move that surprised some, ASG Senator Mike Burns resigned during today' s meeting saying "My classes come first, and I enjoyed serving the ASG. I have learned and intend to take that knowledge withme."Burn'sresignationleaves a flfth seat on the student governmentopen.

March is Women's Month BIRD Kathi Renaud Staff Writer

Recognizing and celebrating women in history and women in general is what it's all about According to Shari Walters, co-chair and co-founder of Womanow the idea is to change the traditional "barefoot and pregnant" image and to educate. "We recognize that all women do not have the same needs or wants. We come together to find a common bond in womanhood to go forward against sexism while valuing our differences."

Walters started the clothesline project last year at Palomar College to help victims and survivors cope and go on with their lives. The significance of the shirt color distinguishes the kind of violence or abuse.

"In most cases men are the perpetrators. We are not saying that all men are evil. This is not about sex. It is about a power trip. Rape, childorsexualabuse, and battering -domination is

what the crimes have in common," said Walters. "It's about dominant people oppressing other people."

Ellis said he expects the process to be successful. "Nothing should hold us up. In previous dealings with the FWS we've never had problems, but government regulations change," he said.

Know ledge of the nesting songbird on Palomar's property is no surprise to college officials, according to Ellis.

He described the sound of the songbird, which he is familiar with because of the walks he takes in the undeveloped areas of Palomar college. ''They sound like kittens mewing," Ellis said. ''There are a few nesting pairs. You can always hear them when you go up there," he explained.

the suspect "Jesse stated that [an individual] approached him ... and asked why Jessewasmessingwithhisfriend," reported Seavey. "Jesse tried to walk around and away when [the individual] hit him," said Seavey.

He sustained a wound similar to his brother's above his right eye.

Mahan indicated that it is not clear why Jesse Hillyer was on school grounds, but that possibly he bad come to take his older brother home.

A witness to the second fight, Eugene Mendivil, 33, said that he was on his way to the cafeteria when he overheard Jesse Hillyer and another individual arguing.

"I stopped to see what was going on and! saw [Jesse] was trying to get around this guy, but every time he moved the guy stepped in front." said Mendivil. "Pretty soon the guy had him cornered between himself and a maintenance truck.

Then the guy hit [Jesse] so hard he went backwards into the truck."

Mendivil said the assailant then fled from the scene. He told Jesse Hillyer that he should go to Stu-

black male who was wearing a plain white T -shirt, gold earrings, and a black baseball cap turned backward. The suspect in the second incident has not been identitied, according Campus Patrol.

"It's not clear whether the suspect in the second fight was the same individual who broke up the first one," Mahan said, "but it's a possibility."

He also stated that the incident was in no way racially motivated.

"Race isn't a factor since the victim and the assailant in the first figbtwerebothwhite,"saidMahan.

Mahan asserted that although it was not a random attack, this incident is no indication of an outbreak of violence at Palomar. "To my knowledge," said Mahan, "this is thefrrstfigbthereoncampussince last semester."

"It's really sad," said Officer Seavey. "The Hillyers moved to Southern California from Alaska with their family just two months ago."

Neither of the Hillyer brothers have answered requests for comments on the incident.

He's not deaf, dumb or blind, but Bowen Kerins sure plays some mean pinball. The Stanford University sophomore launched himself into stardom this February by flipping more balls, tilting more lights and racking up more points than anyone: He's the World's Greatest Pinball Player.

"I was so excited. Even though there's so much strategy and skill involved, there's a lot ofluck," said Kerins, 18. "You have to get the breaks.''

Kerins' skill and luck put him over 600 competitors in the fourth annual Professional and Amateur Pinball Association's International Pinball Championships, known asPAPA 4. Otherwise unnoticed before the final round, Kerinshurledbimselftothetopwithaphenomenal score of 675,729,540.

Despite this score's magnitude, the underdog's luck pulled him through. Prior to this last round, Kerins was only in ninth place and last year's PAPA winner, LymonSheats, scored over I billion just practicing for the final match. Kerins concedes that the competition was close and others could have surpassed him "I'm not even the best player. I can definitely say that,'' Kerins said. ''Sheats is much better than I am. He just got shafted in the fmals.''

Sheats, known for his calm flipping style, won the PAPA 4 Champion division title, a league created for previous PAPA contestants.

He said he plans to buy a pinball machine to practice, on for next year's PAPA 5 competition. ''It's great for pinball that a new wave of players is coming on so strong," Sheats said. ''But I'll be back next year.''

The machines used for this competition were examples of flashy technology, Kerins said.

For instance, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" used the voices of the show's real actors as part of the game's special effects. None of the pinballers had ever played "The Who's Tommy" game, based on the current Broadway musical, before its debut in the competition's last round. Playing was an experience just because of the effort gone into making it, he said. · Kerins is considering a major in mathematics and said the analytical aspects of this discipline help his game.

Not Just For Kids Anymore • Cartoons geared towards adults litter modern prime-time television Justin Sias Staff Writer

If I see one more misshapen head, bloated body, spindly limb or toothy smile I'm going to riot.

A rash of animated shows have hit prime time over the past few years, and the trend continues to grow.

Not that anything is wrong with cartoons. We loved them as kids, right?

The modem cartoon, however, has little in common with "The Flintstones" or "Scooby Doo." Today' s animation depicts real life, often with a sublime wit and parodies

that only adults will get.

The latest attempt is "Duckman," aboutaduckdetective's trials and tribulations at work and at home. After one viewing, I realize that a show where ducks function as members of our society requires a fair amount of "suspension of disbelief."

The only thing "Duckman" has going for it are the talented voices behind the supporting characters, those of such noted personalities as Tim Curry (of Rocky Horror fame), Nancy Travis, and Dweezil Zappa. · A slightly funnier cartoon "The Critic"features the voice of ex-Satur-

day Night Live actor Jon Lovitz. It debuted recently and has met with little success.

The genesis of all this celluloid garbage is no doubt Matt Groenig's hit "The Simpsons." His has venture worked because of a truly funny script, human characters, and an underlying sweetness that is lacking from its contemporaries. When "The Simpsons" burst onto the scene over five years ago, it was a novelty; a cartoon that addressed social issues while retaining its comic element. Those points seem to have been lost on the makers of the newer shows.

All over this country, cartoons are doing big business. What does this mean to the viewing public? More entertainment choice~. certainly, but also a greater need for selectivity. With the good always comes the bad-- with the brash comes the bl~.

It's a lucky day for Lt. Frank Drebin when an undercover mission leads him to a fertility clinic where his nurse is Tanya in uNaked Gun 33 1/3."

Most sequels should have never been made. They have a tendency to simply rehash the previously successful movie for profit and have nothing more to say.

And then there are sequels that do not fit into that category. Never since the "Star Wars" series has there ever been a set of movies as consistently fresh and original as "The Naked Gun" trilogy.

The pre-title sequence in "The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" foreshadows the content of the movie: a fun excursion in which the viewer will laugh, and most importantl y, will not be required to think.

The movie is an endless succession of movie parodies, vulgar sexual innuendos, and slapstick comedy, the latter of which is extremely difficult to make work.

Witness the pathetic trials of Jerry Lewis and early Chevy Chase.

The plot of the movie is an extension of the original: antiAmerican terrorists are bent on a scheme to humiliate the United States. As one villain puts it, "something that will be even more embarrassing than Tonya Harding."

Only one man could possibly stand in their way. Lieutenant Frank Drebin (Leslie Neilson), who returns from retirement to fight for freedom, justice, and the American way.

One of producer David Zucker's secrets is to have celebrity cameos, who get laughs for being themselves, such as Ann B. Davis (Alice on classic television's "The Brady Bunch") who is described by Drebin as "the perfect housekeeper."

If there can be any criticism about the Naked Gun 33 113, it is that it is too short. Fans deserve more than a scant hour and 15 minutes.

SPRING BREAK

'94

Talk show host Jon Stew.-t taped two shows for broadcast this weekend for MTV's spring break special.

Sarah Frederiksen Entertainment Editor

After eight consecutive years in Daytona Beach, Fla., MTV chose San Diego' s Mission Bay to film their Spring Break '94 special -the network's week-long attempt to provide their viewers with a vacation in paradise via the small screen.

The flrst few days of taping, which began Tuesday, March 8, was far from Eden, however. San Diego's "June gloom" presented itself early this season and drove away the projected 5,000- 10,000 college students promoters expected. The weather cooperated as the week went on, and an overall carnival atmosphere prevailed.

Thousands turned out to either catch a glimpse of their favorite MTV personality, watch a taping of a show, or be a part of the action themselves. The crowd was an intricate part of each program, and

onlookers didn't hesitate to act up in front of the cameras, making the most of their 15 seconds of fame.

Thursday, March 10's taping ofMTV talk show the "Jon Stewart Show" was a popular attraction for audience members, and provided the flrst musical performances of the festivities . Two shows were taped for broadcast featuring The Lemonheads and San Diego's Rocket From The Crypt.

In addition to tapings of regular programs, several more were created to carry a sense of specialty to the week. "Sandblast," involved celebrity contestants competing against each other in an MTVstyle obstacle course. "Beauty and the Beach" crowned MTV' s king and queen of the beach in a tonguein-cheek beauty pageant.

MTV' s "Spring Break '94" airs Friday, March 18 and continues until the end of the month. Tune in to see MTV' s spring paradise, and be thankful you can call it home.

Consumer Intelligence Will End The Recession Society needs some courses instructing itself about its consumer spending habits.

There are many reports about individuals destroying their parents' fmancial stability with only one trip to the mall. Trying to single-handedly pull the nation out out of the throes ofa recession should not be something to brag about in economics class. As a society working together with proper guidance, we lift the country back to its feet.

Product manufacturers and retail establishments are not lending a hand in helping society learn how to shop wisely. Across town I have seen signs advertising that businesses will buy used Levi's. This may sound like a sure thing in the commodities market, but I investigated this inevitably fraudulent scheme which is brewing in America.

Remember when the Hunt brothers attempted to corner the silver market? Well, it backftred. They lost a lot of money and it turned out to be not such a sure thing.

I am certain that there is some cartel attempting to comer the market on worn-out Levi's. Think of the prices they could command if the 1960s ever returned and college students were forced to wear worn out denim.

I can imagine that a creative marketing strategist would rename the product; perhaps something original like "dungarees."

The possibilities are endless. Those who have bought up all the supplies would gouge whatever they wanted from those of us who have an uncontrollable urge to wear wornout and tom Levi's. It's basic economics.

The solution: Don't sell those worthless jeans.

In fact, go into those unscrupulous establishments which are offering money for nothing and tell them you have caught onto their little scheme. Let them know exactly how smart you can be and refuse to take their money. When they get stuck holding all of the money and we've got the jeans, they will surely change their strategies.

Don't think for one moment that society's economic ignorance begins and ends with clothing purchases.

Everyday in supermarkets across the nation, a very clever counterfeiting plot is being carried out right in front of our eyes by seemingly innocent homemakers. I believe the authorities are on the verge of blowing the lid off this supermarket scheme.

Imagine people bartering with plain pieces of white paper instead of American dollars. I have heard stories of people buying a week's worth of groceries for what others would pay for one greasy pizza at a local parlor.

This exchange of coupons for cash should be investigated fully, and the fmdings reported by the media to insure that the rest of us don't fall¡prey to any planned sting operation.

Some consideration should be given to the embarrassment of being discovered frugally buying more for your money. Some publicly concerned shoppers may fmd themselves forced to shop at convenience stores.

Only at these places can a person honestly pay three times the value of an item and get a genuinely snide "thank you" from the proprietor who is most likely sending the proftts from his sales back home to a nation where people make fun of rude, incompetent Americans.

So let's all work together to bring this country out of the doldrums of this recession.

Student Government Needs to Learn llules The members of the Inter-Club Council and the Associated Student Government recie.ved an important lesson in responsibility at Tuesday's and Wednesday'smeetings.Hopefullytheywill learn from the mistakes which were pointed out and conduct their activities with more foresight in the future.

A student, Steve Hough, made detailed accusations of misappropriations of funds which had been given to the WOMANOW club this past March. The accusations spelled out the explicit rules which clubs and all involved student bodies are bound to follow.

Mr. Hough brought up some serious charges which should have been dealt with in a serious and professional manner.

Instead of dealing with the charges head-on, the ICC and ASG members attempted to use the excuse of college student ignorance as a reason for not knowing the governing rules.

Yes, we at the Telescope do feel that each person on the ASG is nice and we don't want anyone to get hurt, but still the fact remains thatexplicitrules were not followed and action concerning that misfortune should be taken.

As we see in the national scope, politicians are held to the highest of standards.Here we can learn the consequences and how to eradicate the problems without career-threatening consequences.

Heed these lessons well.

Letters to the Editor ASC Should Resz'gn and Let Others JJo the Worh Dear Editor; Our Associated Student Government is a joke. Their constant display of incompetence makes students lookioolish. The entire ASG, including the advisor, should resign and allow new elections, or get their act together and start acting in an organized, responsible manner, instead of using student government as a plaything.

During the past two semesters we have been subjected to many resignations, a call for enrollment priority for ASG officers, individual decisions made outside the scope of legal authority, clanish behavior blocking the seating

of senators, the DJ controversy and who knows what will be next.

Palomar's voter apathy is really an indication that students feel the ASG is useless. The ASG has not made one worthwhile contribution to students other than providing news on incredibly silly actions!

ASG, please take heed while sparing us the bureaucratic excuses you have offered in the past. Enough is enough!

ASC V.P. Clazins lrresponszole JournaHsm Dear Editor; According to your article titled "Rescheduled Protests Draw Ire" in the March 11, 1994 issue, Daniel Kwan, News Editor, states in his article, they chanted "Hey ASG, how about promoting health and wellness,'' and posted large signs in the Student Union reading "Palomar College supports dangerous¡promises."

After reading this article! called Mr. Kwan to discuss the above statement. Mr. Kwan informed me he had wrote in his article (that was cut and changed), he overheard people talking that ASG needs to promote health and wellness and that chanting was never heard. He also says that he saw a banner stating that Palomar College supports dangerous promises. Student Activities office says that there were no banners that were approved for a protest. Perhaps, Mr. Kwan should have his eyes checked! You are over-worlting this reporter! There was no protesters, no banners,just students having fun dancing with the music. The Student Union was crowded with people enjoying the music.

Nightown was also promoting a non-drinking club where students can enjoy music withoutdrinking. They also made several announce-

ments that Friday Nite Unlimited was having a dance on Friday from 7 to 11p.m. In my opinion Nigh town is working with the Comet Center.

Uninformed groups on campus seem to forget that there are several thousand other students who enjoy activities that have no personal agendas to them.

There are 22,000 students at Palomar with 76% of these students above 21. There are only about 150 students in clubs. It is about time that we start working for all the students and not the selected few.

It is about time the Telescope gets their facts straight.

Sharon Hubbard ASG Vice-President of Student Events Editor's Note: The chanting or shouting referred to the debate between protestors and the Nightown disc jockey. Protestors had posted a sign, but later removed it, saying they did not want the non-authorized posting to detract from their message.

The Telescope stands by the story.

Criminal Justice Teacher Sets the Pace and He's From New York City!?!

Unda Sullivan Contributing Writer

It had been a hot day and students slowly flled into classroom 404 at Palomar's satellite campus in Escondido for Criminal Justice 101.

With sandals and shorts the normal attire, nearly 50 students on the first night had picked out their seats for the eight weeks of summer agony.

Noonewantstospendtwosummer nights a week in a classroom, but the room was packed. The long tables used as desks were filled, so late arrivals grabbed chairs form the other rooms and lined them up against the back wall.

Either this class was popular or the instructor was.

It's 6 p.m.

The door opens - it's another person with a polo shirt and baggy shorts. He rushes to the front of the room. His sunburned face is beet

red and his gray-white hair covers his scalp as he puts on his glasses and writes "Kevin Barrett" on the board. In a New York accent he says, "I'm gonna be teacbin' da ciass an' wanna welcome you all here." His bands flail about wildly in search of a purpose. He bounces like a Ping-Pong ball across the front of the room and down the center aisle.

As students will quickly learn, Barrett was a New York police officer for 22 years, and it sounds like it He recalls a career that had its share of laughs and a strong dose of tragic moments. He remembers having to inform a 10year-old that he was an orphan.

The boy's father had been killed in a car accident just months after the boy's mother had died of cancer.

And the most devasting moment of his career came in 1976 when Barrett was a sergeant. An officer with his squad was fatally

shotduringastruggle with a drifter.

Barrett says he will never get over that death.

While still working as a police officer, be enrolled in college at the age of 36, ultimately earning hisMaster'sDegreefromJohnJay College of Criminal Justice, specializing in substance abuse.

Before coming to Palomar, Barrett spent several years studying and lecturing about police stress. He founded a treatment program for officers with substance abuse and other job stress problems, and their families.

He retired from the police force in 1992 to become a professor at PalomarintheAdministration of Justice Department.

existedhere. Thestudentshadhigh praise as did the faculty members," Barrett said.

Barrett also founded the CriminalJusticeCluboncampus, which will be holding aS wat Team demonstration at the Escondido Police Department on Saturday, March 19 from 9 a.m. to noon.

Aspiring to be a probation officer, Winona Smith, 37, was a student in one of Barrett's classes. "I did really bad in high school. I was truant and in trouble all the time and it was a big effort for me to even graduate," she said.

"Kevin was an inspiration to me. Because he had introduced himself as going to school at age 37 andlam37, then I wasn'tsoshy and I felt relaxed in his class. I felt that if be can do it, why can't I?" she explained.

"When I got an A in Barrett's class, it was the first A that I bad ever received," Smith continued. ''Now I'm excited about getting my degree. I'm like a sponge and I'm absorbing it. I absolutely love it. If i had had a real hard-core boring teacher, I may not have continued with school," she said.

"I always wanted to be a teacher," Barrett said, "I teach on a down-to-earth level. Anything I can do for the students either academically and personally, I'll be there for them."

Recently, while up in Los Angeles teaching a workshop on police stress, an aquaintaince of Barret's got passes on the set of the television show NYPD Blue.

When word went around that he and his friend were "real" retired New York police officers, some of the actors came to meet him.

"It was a great experience seeing the set of the show and how real it was," Barrett commented. "The show is the same way, the most realistic police show that has ever been on television. They deal with the real problems of police officers and I think that is important."

Also important to him is his wife J anine Barrett, a teacher with a master's in early childhood education. She believes her husband made the right decision to become a teacher and was supportive when he started college.

"Kevin possesses the qualities needed to be a teacher. He is friendly, outgoing, has a sense of humor and people come to him with their problems. If students are using school as a means to escape, Kevin will use the tool of humor to keep those students in school," she said.

"I grew up real poor and under adverseconditions," KevinBarrett said. "So now that I have it I recognize - it's not like I had it before, I¡ worked for it But I'm convinced that if it can happen to anybody," he said.

Winona Smith hopes so too.

When she took her fmal test on the last day of he criminal justice class, she handed her paper to Barrett.

He took her hand to shake it and uttered three encouraging words that she will not forget. "Stay in school."

Yes, this team will likely lose 70-80 games but this won't be as bad as the 1993 season, I guarantee it.

SPORTS I Say

So! Jason Singer

MARCH MADNESS I say that this is the second best time of the year for sports fans just a notch behind the fall sports line-up. This is defmitely March Madness in more way than one.

We have so many athletic activities happening on our tubes that we never need to leave home.

One can indulge in a little hockey where the race for the playoffs is coming to an end, albeit nearly every team makes the postseason.

NBA basketball is coming to an end too, and like in the NHL, nearly every team makesthese playoff~ too.

Baseball is alsojustaroundthecorner as fresh cut grass on the diamond at the Murph is paving the way for another unsuccesful Padres season. (See related article on page 11).

Of course you can always check out some major golf tournament every weekend where the winner makes more in one week than some small cities in North Dakota make in a year.

Tennis is just getting into the swing of things too as many of the major tournaments are just around the corner.

Now we are left with the true sport of March Madness. Don't you dare ask what that is! It's college basketball of course.

What a great sporting event! We get to watch the little sisters of the poor go at it agamst the almighty powerhouse teams.

Every so often we get a major upset and that makes it all worthwhile.

However, this year on the mens' side r don't see any major upsets on the road to the fmal four. On the other hand, I only see one number top seed making it to the final four.

That team is Purdue, the Southeast brackets tough guys out of the Big Ten conference.

Joining them for the party in Charlotte will be the Midwest brackets second-seed UMASS. They looked very impressive under coach John Calipari this year.

CAL will be a surprise in the West as the number five seed. They have two of the nations best players in Jason Kidd and LaMond Murray.

The darkhorse of the tournament will be the sixth seed out of the East. This cinderella team is Nebraska They looked very strong in the end by winning the Big Eight tourney and beating Kansas and Oklahoma State at the end of the regular season.

The East coincidentally is the bracket that has the only coach who will be disqualified for headbutting a mascot and a cheerleader, this coach is the great Bobby Knight of Indiana.

The final champion at the end of this maddening tournament will beUMASS because they have the players, the experience, and a great coach to lead them all the way.

Although I haven' tfollowed the womens side enough to give a detailed response, I believe the final four will be the almighty Aztecs of SDSU (not a biased pick at all), USC, UCONN, and Penn State respectively from the Big Ten. So sit back in your chair, your couch, or your beanbag and grab your favorite nonalchoholic beverage because this is defi·nitely a time to relax, or else you'll go mad.

The Palomar Comets softball team demolished all opponents en route to winning the championship at the Golden West Tournament.

Palomar took two of three games from Long Beach City College on Sunday to clinch the championship.

The Comets won the first game, 3-1, to qualify for the championship round. Long Beach had to beat Central Arizona to get into the championship round, which they did.

They then topped unbeaten Palomar, 5-1, to force a deciding game. The Comets won that one, 3-2, on Karl Harrison's two-RBI double, scoring Michelle Hallmann and Bev Muller in the fifth inning.

Jennifer Ortiz, a freshman was named most valuable pitcher, Casey Thimjon was honored most valuable player of the tournament and Harrison made the all-tournament team.

Ortiz pitched both Palomar victories.

The Comet tournament win came after they defeated Southwestern 9-1, on March 10.

San Marcos High graduate Darme Duerst, Palomars right fielder, "was a key part of the huge Comet hitting attack against Southwestern," said Ron Leverette, statistician.

Duerst went two for three with an RBI for Palomar. Anny Dini fmished two for two with three RBI's and Jessica Fender struck out three in pitching a four hitter.

After winning the tournament, a surprise loss against Cypress on March 15 "was a letdown," according to Coach Mark Eldridge. Palomar lost the game 8-4.

"Jennifer di_dn' t pitch very well. It was a bad game all the way around," said Eldridge.

After playing 30 games since the season opened the Comets rallied to win 2-0 against Mesa College on March 16.

"The team is really tired and fatigued right no\Ji. We haven't practiced more than 10 times this season. For now on we will only be playing two games a week and practicing everyday," said Eldridge.

There was no score until the bottom of the fourth inning against Mesa until Thimjon bunted the ball. The ball was overthrown to first, and because of the error she was able to run to third base.

CandiceFode then hit the ball to third base while Thimjon ran home to make the score 1-0.

towards the pitcher. Muller scored when Fode hit the ball towards left field.

Eldridge said, "We sucked it up to win. "He added, "it was a good game after the rocky game against Cypress."

Palomar is undefeated in league right now with an overall record of20-
