Student Activities drops used book swap • EOPS will take over Used Book Co-op for the Spring semester Francis T. Crowley Editor-ill-ClUe/
The Used Book €o-op, a successful and popular service provided by Student Activities, has ceased operations for this semester. The service cut is a result of cutbacks in service in the Student Activities Office. The book swap, as it was often called. allowed students to place their used books on consignment, to be purchased by other students. The service offered students an alternative to the high pices of the Palomar Book Store. The cutbacks have been made in response to a task force fmding that the SAO is overworked. The task force was formed after students filed a grievance against the SAO

this past spring. The task force, compiled of student and staff members, found that the SAO is over loaded with work and should have additional help in their office. According to Jim Bowen, SAO Director, because there is an unlikely event of obtaining funding for additional assistance in their office, cutting services was the next logical choice. "If we can't get people to help us do whai we are doing, then we have to eliminate some services," he said. Bowen added that his office is already planning to add one part-time student worker this semester and be is looking into obtaining the financing for the permanent contract parttime employee which was suggested by the task force.

"There is acontroversynow between some of the people in student government and other peopleonjustbow busy this office is," Bowen added. Robert Jenkins, Inter-club Council President and one of the persons who flled the grievance against the SAO said the loss of the used book sale was an unfortunate an unintended loss that should have been avoided.

Bowen stressed that he did not feel that the students who brought the grievance had intended to eliminate any services. ASG Treasurer Sharon Hubbard Jim Bowen, stated that the loss of SAO Director the used book sale is due to the actions of three students.

After spending weeks debating on a budget for the 1994-95 school year, the Associated Student Govemmentpassed a budgetof$88,000. The budget of $88,000 is an increase from last year's budget of $86,119. Funding for most groups inaeased, but allocations for the Inter-Club Council decreased from last year's allocation of $8,000 to this year's $5,500. "The ICC had only spent about $4,000 from last year," said ASG Treasures Sharon Hubbard. According to Hubbard, the creation of a new "divel'Sity" item in the budget is another reason why tbe ICC's budget was decreased. Thedivel'Sitybudgetitemof$4,000 will be spent on educational activities, such as Black History Month, which normally funding by the ICC.
ter. The $5,000 program aims to counter the increase awareness about the dangers of using drugsand alcohol. Also, the ASG decided to provide the cheerleading squad with $5,000. Initially, th eASG had planned to cut all funding toward the cheerleading squad, but cbeerleading coach Sheldon Price convinced the ASG that there was a new direction in the squad. "We're going to hold rallies and perform at all sporting events, not just football games," said Price. According to Price, the ASG funding will go toward traveling expenses, training camps and uni..
forms. Sources of funding for the ASG budget include bookstore profits, the sale of Palomar I.D. cards, vending and locker rentals.

News in Brief. .. Stholarship search offered to students The Fmancial Aid Office will offer many scholarship programs open to PalOOUU" students this semester. According to Scholarship Coordinator Maureen Holden one of the options is the College Aid Services for Higher Education
(CAS HE). This is a computet program that for a $15 service fee searches for scholarships by matching background, major interests and academic achievement of the applicants. The program draws against 150,000 scholarships from 4, 100 services. The applicant will receive a printout of available scholarships in their field of interest The student is then able to apply directly for those scholarships. Holden pointed out that the $15 service fee also is turned into a scholarship here at Palomar College. Beginning in September, the Fmancial Aid office will make their monthly scholarship newsletter available in various places on campus. Students are encouraged to visit the Financial Aid offices in the Administrative Building to check for possible scholarship applications.
No fee hike for this academic year California community college students will pay the ~e enrollment fees in 1994-95 as in 1993-94. Palomar College enrollment fees will remain $13 per unit as the result of a compromise in final state budget negotiations. Residents who already hold bachelor's <X' higher degrees will continue to pay $50 per unit wbich was initiated two years ago. Funding will also be povided to enable conmunity colleges to waive enrollment fees f<r low-income students.

CONSTRUCTION: Renovated math building to feature improved ventilation Continued from Page 1 very good." Daniels added, ''The faculty did not expect it to be this nice." Instructor DavidLowenkron commented that, "A lot of the work has been to enhance the education of students." In speaking about educational improvements, Daniels referred to the addition of a fifth classroom within the &building and environmentalimprovementsoftheventilation system. Additionally, all rooms will have Data Ports which have data lines con-
nected to the Math Labs so teachers will have the ability to gather lab information from the classroom. At the main entrance of Palomar Campus, the construction of the transit center is nearing completion. After many years of planning the latest estimate for completion is January, Ellis said. The new Campus Patrol Building, located at the visitor entrance of the campus, is completed and ready for occupancy, Ellis explained. Moving into the Campus Patrol Building will beputonhold until the hookup of utilities which will be finished with the
completion of the transit center. Parking Lot 3 expansion, near the Health and Fitness Center has been on hold awaiting approval by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) because of nesting gnatcatchers in land adjacent to the proposed parking expansion. According to Ellis, Palomar Colleges' proposal to secure nesting areas for the gnatcatchers has been rejected bytheFWS. "fheFWS has requested guarantees from the college that private developers will not develop the land on the opposite side of the college's mitigation site,'' Ellis said.
In describing the total number of projects that have been underway on campus Ellis said. ''This is probably the largest set of continuous projects going at once. ''We've had projects going on but never this many going at the same time," he added. "It started with the Wellness Center, and that is operational now. Next we will fmish off with the art building and library in January." In a related matter, the Tutoring Center that has been located in SU-18 since the library renovation began last year will be moving into SU-19 to accommodate disabled students.

Bowen explained that the loss of the book sale was temporary because he has arranged for Extended Opportunity Program & Services (EOPS) to take over the operation. Bowen said the book sale planned to begin again in December under the guidance of EOPS. According to Lunde, the used book sale has been exchanging up to 1800 books between students per semester for more than five years.

Campus' recycling • • program ts tn can Kelley Brewer Co-Opinion Editor
Palomar's recycling program celebrated its success at a July 12 ribbon cutting ceremony opening its recently constructed permanant central collec'tion area. "It's a success strory Palomar is proud to have," said Grounds Supervisor Rick Kratcoski who initiated and developed the school's comprehensive program. What began in the Spring of 1991 as an effort to reduce paper being sent to the landfill, with cardboard boxes used as collection units, has expanded to include campus-wide collection recepticles for glass, aluminum and plastic beverage containeiS. In addition the administrative offices have been furnished with plastic collection bins for the collection of white and colored papeJ'.
The campus also collects and recycles tin cans, cardboard, newspaper, ferrous and non-ferrous scrape metals, wooden pallets, concrete and green waste.
The program with the help of a $25,<XX> grant from the state's Dep~ent of Conservation as well as donations from Mashburn Sanitation, the campus' contractedrecycler, has been able to exceed original expectations and continues to be a source of savings for the school. In fact, Kratcoski was therecipientofa$1000awardforsaving the college over $11,000 during the 1992-93 fiscal year through the recycling program. The recycling program was responsible for collecting over 115 tons ofitems which not only generated money from the sale of the collected items but also saved the school dump fees by reducing the waste going to the landfill. John Hiber, a grant manager for the state's Department of Conservation said he reviews many conservation projects and JX'Oposals. "We like to give them a copy of Palomar College's final report and tell them they have a good chance of getting funded if theydowhatPalomarhasdone," Hibersaid.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation
San Marcos I
Aftel' months of fun and frolic this summer I return to my post as
Telescope Entertainment Editor kicking and screaming. It's not that I don't like my job. Where else can you get college aedit for rubbing elbows with your favorite stars. attend movie ~ miers, and fatten your m collectionwithpromotionalfreebiesfrom record companies? With theendoftheseason,however, I fmd it necessary to reflect on the months past This summer's number one task was to feed in my love for pop music. Not only did I partake in the COWltlessconcerttours that breezed through our lovely city, I also scouted coffeeshops and small clubs in an effort to understand the San Diego music scene. 111 be introducing to you many of my favorite finds in the new "Local Music Box" section each week on these pages. H you have a local favorite of your own, please contact me at The Telescope office. While I wasn'thitting the streets
in search of musical talent, you'd find me glued to the tube watching MTV's "Real World." Am I the only person besides his roommates to find Puck revolting? I'm getting ill from this pro-Puck publicity flooding the press as of late. I'm glad he's getting booted out of the house next week. Let him blow snotrocketsonsomeoneelse'sfloa fora while. I, along with the rest of the nation, adored Fo"est Gump. My new philosophy in life: "..Sometimes there just aren't enough rocks ... " I can't recall many other films that have affected a nation as much as this one has -- and for the better, no doubt I refused to catch The Lion King wave. Call me paranoid, but I think Disney's hold on the kids of the world is a bit suspicious if you ask me. I also watched a game or two of the World Cup rooting for Ireland and the U.S.A. and lost interest when both fell out of the race. H that's entertainment, I don't know. Maybe I'm more cut out to be a sports writer. Well .. maybe not As for other people's summer vacations, tabloid gossip the past few months has been relatively shocldess. Even the royal family hasn't been up to par this season. OJ's a bore. Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley getting married didn't phase me, either. Come on, eelebs - let's get some scandal here! And although I chose to skip out on Woodstock '94, I feel my summer has been eventful. For the rest of you who just can't shake that summer feeling, I'll be seeing you this Thurs. at Lollapalooza as it rolls through townatSDSUsAztecBowl. Show starts at 1 p.m. so we'll let this be a . warning to our Thurs. afternoon professors.

New Love for Aged Pop · Sarah Frederiksen Entertainment Editor
Richard Butler started his pop music career in the early 1980's withhishitbandThePsychedellic Furs. By the end of the decade, however, their work: became mundane, stale, and downright awful. Thankfully Butler reconised their decline. "I thought The Furs were a great band for their time," he admits in current interviews. "But I wanted to work: for people to create a new sound and get the spark: of suprise back into my songwriting." Today Butler fronts Love Spit Love, a new band with new faces and a new sound. Together with guitaristRicbardFoous, Love Spit Love writes refreshing pop tunes with decidedly cheerful melodies. Backed with drummer Frank Ferrer and Butler's brother Tun on bass guitars, the album has the feel of a band who's been writing for years rather than the months in which theyputthisalbum together. Perhaps Butler's experience
expalins the ease which comes across on the album the band felt while recording. "When you make a record, you walk the line between keeping the feel of the band and filling out the SOWld in an imaginative and interesting way. "In other words," he concludes, "You have to know when a basic track: has a good feel and when to stop pissing with it" First track "Seventeen" has opening riffs that would make any rock bandhappy, while "llgsaw" includes a kazoo intro. The versatility of melodies and variety in sounds throughout the album leaves a listeners with a frenzied calm. Butler's vocals provide the soothing insight he had with The Furs. Lyrically, some songs lack intellect, however its loss is more than made up for in the album's first single" Ami Wrong," and the ballad "Please." Overall, Love Spit Love have a lot to offer alternative pop music lovers. Try and catch them on their upcoming tour this fall.

Poway's Dishwater Comes Clean • Band has fluent ·sound Sarah Frederiksen Entertainment Editor
As nice as a dream of bunch of friends fooling around with instruments in high school and later becoming rock stars is, it's still just a dream. . Try telling that to Dishwater, a group of seven guys from Poway who just hit the scene with their five track debut demo "Dose On Sunshine." Their so\Dld, "a shake your butt and groove" type, is aeated by I ason Hill,guitarist; Robbie
Dodds, guitar; Tony Roth, bass;
Mark Maigaard drums; Brian Karcig and Ryan Ramos on vocals; Dean Hall on keyboards; and Brad Rambur who occasionally plays sax for the band.
local Music Box Surprisingly, the average age of the members in the band is in its teens. Fora band who's been together for relatively a short amo\Dlt of time, their sound is tight and well performed on "Dose on Sunshine."
Also included are "Shine," "Smile," "94," Cosmic Today."

The only way to describe Barelona is "a male bonding film for girls." Sure, it's a nice flm about two cousins, Ted and Fred, coping with life, love, and politics in Barcelona in the early '80's. However, the sexual overtones outline women's views and feelings on the subject. It's more of a woman's story about Ted and Fred rather than Ted's narration, as it actually occurs. Taylor Nichols, who portrays Ted as an anal-retentive, sales guru who views relationships as just another sales account His strugggles with effeciency in the workplaces seeps into his interpersonal relationships causing a tragic, yet hilarious result Nichol's as Fred is a wonderl'ul
performance. Dire~tor Whit Stillman, who also directed the sleeper hit Metropolitan, has a knack for hiring talented, no-name acta who are their parts rather than playing them. Chris Eigeman is Ted's mischievous cousin whose Naval career is a sore spot because he failed his college boards and couldn't do anything else with his life. His patriotism for America in anti-American Spainisamajorconflitinthemovie, and without giving away the ending, he defends his country with honor, and gets the girl The women in this film are a blur. Only one is consistant throughout, the rest fly by the screen with kisses and false endearments as the boys try and understand foreign women while dealing with their own identities. Nonetheless, Barcelona is an funny, adorable story about the relationships between men and women, men and country, and men and men.

There are few issues today which are as controversial as abortion. While most people would be considered "middle of the road" on the issue, extremists exist on both sides who can not be reasoned with. The brutal murder of Aorida Doctor John Britton and his escort by an anti-abortion minister, the third abortion-related murder in less than two years bas brought the issue back into focus. "Pro-Life," at least in its radical fringe, bas tainted the image of a movement once~ fined by relatively non-violent protest Dr. Britton's assailant, Paul Hill, bas been outspoken in his belief that abortion advocates are murderers and should be executed. In 1993, when abortionistDavid Gunn was murdered, Hill defended the murder saying that it was "a fulfillment of the commandment of Christ" Obviously, the majority of Pro-life groups do not agree that cold blooded murder is a justiftable tactic for stopping abortion. However, an increasing number4>f activists are proponents of the extremist i<Je.. ology. For example, Father David Trosch, a radical anti-abortion activist, said "If a person with a shotgun happened upon the scene of massive butchering of innocent dlildren, and failed to act with deadly force, as quickly as possible, be would be committing a grave offense against God." (Time, Aug. 15, 1994) The Archbishop of Trosch' s dioceses, perhaps not eager to have the Catholic Church labeled as a terrorist organization, relieved Father Troscb of his pastoral duties. The pro-choice movement bas responded to the violence with intensified ttaining sessions that warn of the potential for violence in addition to supplying bullet JXOOf vests, to little avail. Dr. Britton's assailant knew full well about the vest and shot him in the bead The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE), signed into law this year, is intended to protect both the patients and staff at clinics as well as empower them with a legal tool for seeking civil action against the intimidation and harassment of pro-life protestors. However, the recent murders indicates that the law needs to be amended to include both volunteers and escorts. These volunteers face increasing danger and harassment for simply helping to insure that the law which currently exists is followed by po-life activists.

The shotgun murder of abortion doctor John Britton and his escort James Barret has sparked heated debate among pro-life and pro-choice activists across the nation. Abortion rights activists claim that this latest, in a series of, violent acts against abortion clinics is an indicater of a "surge in violence," among pro-life demonstrators. Some pro-life leaders, including Father David Trosch, defend the acts as "justifiable homicide," pointing to the fact that the lives of unborn children are being saved in the process.

The basic premise behind the more extreme efforts to stop abortion is the defense of children. It is called justiftable homicide. Justified because abortion is murder. In order to change the tide of America's morality away from the murder of unwanted children, anti abortionists must propagate violence against those who commit the crimes against God. In a Time magazine article (Aug. 15, 1994) Roman Catholic priest David Troscb puts it this way, "If a person with a shotgun happened upon the scene of massive butchering of innocent children, and failed to act with deadly force, as quickly as possible, be would be committing a grave offense against God." This opinion is being echoed throughout the throngs of anti-abortion protestors. Even though groups don't outWardly promote violence, sympathy for the victims of violence is bard to fmd. Don Tresbman, president of Rescue America stated, "We regretted the passing of (Dr. Britton's) life just like a Jew in 1943 Poland who just beard Dr. JosefMengele and his bodyguard were shot down in Auschwitz that morning." Leaders of the anti-abortion movement say they do not encourage violence, yet their planned and organized conferences are breeding extremists who will nonetheless privately plan aggressive~ against abortionists . That way, the leaders of the groups can continue to organize efforts, without facing criminal prosecution. Naive impressionable zealots can carry out violent deeds without being expressly told to, yet following subliminal messages suggested by the far-right To the abortion foes, this week's congressional bearings and the FBI's investigation concerning the vilification of abortion foes and supporters alike will not deter them from their goal to rid society of the persons who are killing unborn children. In Mississippi, the anti-abortion movement is preparing for the removal of the last fulltime abortion doctor within that state's boundaries. This is theresultoftberight-to-lifemovementwhoseorganizedeffortsandfinalplans have begun to show fruition. Activists see this as the beginning of the extinction of abortion clinics and doctors in the South. Paul Hill, accused of killing abortionist John Bayard Britton, is only one of the soldiers who bas carried out a necessary deed intended to end the crimes against the unborn.

If you're like me, the most pressure we feel is the kind we put on ourselves. Unless you really don't give a dam. pressure is something we feel everyday.

It bas been ever since I've been here. That was 1992. Constructive debate in meetings is too often replaced with bickering and shouting matches. Too many times it bas been driven by those with their own self interests at heart. Merrill will have to deal with many outside forces., as would any political leader. For Merrill the pressure will be to get different people with different interests to work together. That sounds nice and all, but he'll have to fight. and fight bard if he is to be successful. It's tough to say if Merrill can put up with it allYoualways want to see the new guy do well, and personapy I want Merrill to do well.

From the Sidelines Chris Gleason
Nick Price has rwthing to fear I was never much of an athlete. Having acquired no reputation for any physical prowess, I was always picked last in Phys.Ed., got to ride the bench and bad to watch the others have a good time from the sidelines (*snif*, *sob*). So, I did what any other self-respecting child would do: I sbldied journalism instead and became a pointybeaded-intellectiod-geek sports editor. You want an example of my athletic abilities? Sure.... At the beginning of this month, I was up in beautiful Bakessfield water skiing at pictur- esque Lake Buena Vista ("Where the Swf Meets the Toxic Waste!''). With me on that trip was my uncle Je<ff, a PGA-certified golf pofessional. In someoftbespare time betweenstinms, Jeff bad given me my very first (aDd only) golf lesson. In an even larger chunk of spare time, be thought it would be a good idea for me to gooutwithhimand "TTiE GUYS' to the 1ocal golf course for my very first (and only) round of golf. I, being a testosteron~ven male schmuck, could not resist this obvious challenge to my masculinity. WearrivedattheMarquisDeSadeMemorial Golf Course and Torture Rescxt at that specialtimeofdaywhenthesunishotenough to cause the green-checked pants preferred by golfers everywhere to burst spontaneously into flames (not that this is a bad thing). I knew I was in trouble when my first drive did not even make it past the women's tees. That was when I head Jeff shout, "Drop' em, Chris!" I gave him a puzzled expression. He then told me that there is an unwritten rule in golf that whenever a man cannot bit a ball past the women's tees, he is required to drop his drawers and prove his. . . welL .. manhood to the world Being a novice at the game, I respectfully declined to participate in this lovely tradition, leaving it instead to tbose who would appreciate it more than I. Throughouttheaftemoon'splay,Ithought to myself, "fve seen this on TV. It doesn't lookthisbard. ItCAN'Tbethishard." All the while I am sending the ball into sandtraps, trees, bushes, other players' beads, etc. Had tbere been water hazards on this particular course, I am sure I would have spent the best part of the day swimming. The aowds were light that day at De Sade. We completed alliS boles within three-anda-half hours, which, I am told, is good After all strokes were tallied and all Dr Peppers were drunk. I had finished the day with an alleged 131. Sinceihadspentmostoftheday apologizing to other golfers for my very existence, I found this hard to believe. Jeff had been keeping my score, and when I looked at the scorecard, I noticed a long string ofeights (punCtuated occasionally by a six ot seven) along my record. He explainedthatthese"snowmen"wereacourtesy score for novices, and that my score was pobably closer to 200. That made me feel a lot better. I had thought for a second that I might actually have some kind of fublre in this game. I had beard that golf could be a humbling experience. This is not true. It is, in fact, a humiliating one.

The Call Most coaches would consider it an unenviable task to follow in the footsteps of a coaching legend such as Craft But Kaumeyer relishes the opportunity. "I think it is a great situation," beams Kaumeyer, who at 27 years of age looks as if he could suit up today and play for any one of a number of professional teams. In fact, Kaumeyer was in the midst of training for a possible NFL tryout when Athletic Director John Woods came calling with the Palomar job in hand "I was just trying to get my body ready for another season when Jobn(Woods) offered me the position. It was the chance of a lifetime." said Kaumeyer "I'm 27; to come in as
