The total enrollment of students taking credit classes increased from 20,167 students last fall to 20,185 students this semester, according to the Palomar census taken at the beginning of each September.

The census, which is a running, daily count, is expected to change by the end of the semester.

'There are more day students than last year," said Herman Lee, director of enrollment services. "Those students are also taking more classes than last year." There are 5,362 students taking day classes, compared to 5,005 students who took day classes last fall.

The rush for high-demand classes might

contribute to the increase of classes and schedules and the need to fulfill general education requirements, according to Lee. High level demand classes include English, math and science.

In addition to the popular classes students strive to enroll in, Palomar's 3,000 educational sections attracts the students' interests and planned majors, according to Lee. "Palomar College is in a central location," Lee said. Students can "go to school and work part time."

Palomar's two week drop and add policy also showed an enrollment comparison from last year.

"Last year, 1,034 students withdrew," Lee said. "This year we had only 903 students who withdrew completely."

CaiSACC introduces plan to unify course numbering

HANDICAPPED PARKING BLUES

Palomar fails to meet state required spots Angela Logan Staff Writer

While driving around campus, desperately searching for a place to park, the temptation to pull into a blue handicap space can be overwhelming.

After all, you tell yourself, they have so many.

Actually, there aren't as many as one might think. Of the 3,447 student parking spaces on campus, only 53 are reserved for the handicapped, according to Boyd Mahan, supervisor of campus security. This does not meet the state's requirement that two percent of a parking lot's spaces be reserved for the handicapped.

Disabled Student Programs and Services has approximately 175 physically disabled students registered this semester, according to DSPS Director Ron Haines. Also, that number does not include the many handicapped students who do not register with DSPS. "Some of us disabled students have to drive around campus repeatedly trying to fmd a place to park, making us late for class," said Chuck Scrofani, a disabled student.

CATERING

Jeff Vize Staff Writer

In recent years, laws have been passed that require more accommodations for people with physical disabilities, such as the Americans With Disablities Act. These new services have resulted in more handicapped people joining mainstream society and going to college.

"Approximately five percent of Palomar's student body is disabled," said Mary Tuttle, a DSPS technician.

"Palomar should take this into consideration and increase the number of handicapped parking spaces."

According to Scrofani, many students who use state-issued handicap placards do not know that they can park in any designated parking space on campus. This includes staff parking.

Individuals who use wheelchairs need the special wide spaces in order to get their chairs in and out of their vehicles. "If disabled students who do not need that extra space would park in the staff spaces-which are just as close-the parking problem should decline," Tuttle said. "Disabled students are not looking for special treatment, they just want the odds to be a little more even."

In an attempt to simplify the process of intercollegiate transferring, the California Student Association of Community Colleges bas introduced a plan to create a universal course numbering system for all public colleges in the state, according to Jim Bowen, Palomar Associated Student Government advisor.

Bowen, who announced the plan at the Aug. 31 ASG meeting, says the aim of CalSACC's "Common Course Numbering System," is to eliminate the "confusing practice" of identical courses being numbered differently in each school's curriculum.

"Because of the diversity of catalog numbering systems used in California, students are prone to taking classes not necessary for their educational goals," said Bowen, who believes that the current system makes it difficult for transfer students because they often arrive at new schools realizing that they have taken classes that were not required.

"The common numbering system," continued Bowen, "offers an alternative to the

current system which fmds many students wasting time mistakenly taking unnecessary classes."

But according to Palomar Transfer Center Director Bob Larson, CalSAAC' s plan is not new. "There bas been a desire for a common numbering system for quite some time, but it is just too huge a task to undertake. Instead, over the years they've come up with several smaller agreements," said Larson.

The most important of the agreements, according to Larson, is the California Articulation Number System (CAN), which began in 1984. CAN, however, is not a common numbering system. Instead, it provides two numbers for each class in the program.

CAN simplifies the system by providing a cross reference identification number for the courses in the program. Colleges may keep any numbering system they like, but they must also list the CAN number.

The biggest obstacle for those in favor of a common numbering system is the fact that the universities oppose it. ''Their thinking is 'why should we spend so much time and money on this when we already have CAN?,'" said Larson.

'Treaure Island' event to raise funds for college Peter Sansom Staff Writer

The fourth annual "Palomar Goes" is ready to set sail for frolicking and fund raising. This year's theme, "Palomar Goes To Treasure Island!" is a return to 18th century high seas adventure with a pirate twist "Palomar Goes" is a series of fund raising events that brings local businesses and patrons together to benefit the college. The blacktie event, which includes auctioning and entertainment, has varied its theme over the years. Previous themes have included Hollywood, the circus, and a boat cruise.

"Palomar Goes to Treasure Isla.nd!" will be held at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla a t Aventine on Saturday, Sept. 17, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The increasing popularity of the "Palomar Goes" events prompted the move to the larger Aventine location.

"Although, in the past, wehave had to limit the amount of tables sold in order to fit comfortably in our ballroom, this year our new location offers more flexibility," said Ann Boggs, event committee chair. 'This will be great news for those who have not been able to get. tickets to this event in the past" Corporate sponsored tables for the "Treasure Island!" event range from $4,000 "Gold Tables" and $2,500 "Silver Tables" to $1,200 "Bronze Tables." All tables accommodate eight guest while single tables are $150. To reserve a corporate-sponsored table or purchase tickets, interested people should call the Palomar College advancement office at 744-1150 or 727-7529, ext. 2732.

"While our guests will attend the party in modem-day formal

dresses and tuxedos, that is where 20th Century San Diego will end and our adventurous "Treasure Island" theme will take over," said Boggs.

"Creative decor will transform the hall into a special tropical paradise with greenery, exotic flowers and birds, treasure chests overflowing with gold and jewels and-of course-our entertaining pirates," added Boggs.

For the fourth consecutive year decor for the "Palomar Goes" event is being made by the Palomar College Visual Merchandising class. Under the direction of Rita Campo, Visual Merchandising instructor, the Aventine ballroom will be molded into the Treasure Island theme.

The benefit will begin with a cocktail reception and a silent auction. During the cocktail hour, guests can participate in a screenMelinda M~~rchuk I Public Information test inspired by the romantic pirate movie era.

For The Record Sarah Frederiksen

Paint A Vulgar Picture I was scouring my entertainment magazines this weekend desperately searching for a topic for this week's column when I stumbled upon an article about anew British pop band called Gene.

Apparently, without notifying countless music lovers, the British music press has declared this group of four sultry London lads, and their morbid brit-pop sound, the new Smiths. fu other words, as it is implied, the best new band on earth.

They don't even have an album's worth of work out for chrissake!

My fellow Anglophile friends and I know how notoriously fickle the British press can be, especially when handing out premature praise for young pop groups, and comparing them to the greatest band of all time.

Still, it makes me ponder how a band (or actor, actress, and author for that matter) attains their fame and fortune; How know-nothing infant bands get the press only established, hard-working groups should get.

"Packaging," insists a colleague.

"It's all in how it looks, how it's perceived. An actor has to be attractive; an actress nice to look at. Bands these days work on their image more than their sound. It's pathetic!"

Could this be true? Is the entertainment industry as false as all that? Is my life's work really based on love of facades and phonies?

You betcha!

It's a shame, but a fact nonetheless. Entertainment is based on appearances, packaging, and presentation. I'm horrified by the thought of the press spoon-feeding the next 'big thing' into the mouths of hungry, entertainment junkies.

RollingStoneisguiltyofit,MTV should be executed for it. Even this sorryexcuseofajournalisthasbeen accused of writing of obscure bands, making claims to their popularity and fame, while secretly hoping to boost it.

You see, there's a private club among the members of the press and the entertainers themselves I really shouldn't be telling you about.

It's a trade off-- they give us good reviews to other journalists, free admission to concerts, promo CDs, hang out with us to make us look cool to other bands, while we give them good press.

It's the same sort of trade as giving your friends free tacos because you happen to work the late shift at Taco Bell. Your friends love you more, and come around more often, making you appear popular and well liked among co-workers.

(Hey, I think I'm finally starting to understand how the Counting Crows got so damn popular...)

So now I'm sure that Gene, too, must know a hell of a lot of people to be voted the "best band in the .world."

Poor Morrissey must be turning over in his grave.

SoupDragons Soar With New Album • Band retains dance-rock sound on latest effort Stephen Rubin Staff Writer

Two years have passed since The Soup Dragons rocked alternative playlists with their anthemic dance-pop singles, "Divine Thing" and "Pleasure." Hydrophonic is the latest release from Sean Dickson and his band.

The atmosphere and the scope of the band has changed since their last effort, however. During the course of writing new material for Hydrophonic , Dickson was stung by the collective departure of the three other band members.

"Their leaving made me feel hurt, upset, and angry and it considerably slowed the creative process," said Dickson. With the tracks written for Hydrophonic , he went ahead with the project resulting in a usually satisfying exploration into the musical depths of dance-rock, reggae-pop, gospel, funk, soul,

R&B, and blues.

Dickson travels the realms of spacey pop, and begins the record with its first single, "One Way Street." "One Way Street" employs the familiar Soup Dragons dancerock with a gospel groove formula.

A sound where the band excels.

A spacey sonic-pop fusion comes into play on such tracks like "Contact High," "MayTheForceBe With You," "Rest In Piece," and "Motherfunker."

"May The Force Be With You" is not an ode to Luke Skywalker, unfortunately. Featuring congas by T-Rex's Mickey Finn, "May The Force Be With You," is a four minute trippy pop journey about a girl that "has me begging on all fours."

"Rest In Piece", featuring exSpecialsLynalGoldingandNeviller Staples begins with a funky techno sound set against the vocal aura of a neo-Paul Simon African choir. The

thrashy reggae chorus is contagious but the keyboards are nauseating.

The two songs that succeed the most are "J.F. Junkie" and "Automatic Speed Queen." "J.F. Junkie" is a track which explains the irresistible attraction to The Soup Dragons guitar groove-fest style. The song proves to be Dickson's vocal best.

His voice resonates with the force of the guitar. And the female back-up vocals do not get lost in soulful wailing hyperspace.

"Automatic Speed Queen" lets the melodies loose without tedious experimental samples that trap other songs on the album. The Elvis-like country riffs are infectious.

"I experimented to see how far I could take my ideas ... and returned to recording with a new sense of freedom that I was fully able to explore," commented Dickson.

Dickson seems caught up in experimenting with varying musicians of different genres so much he fails to realize the consequences. But when The Soup Dragons stick to their grooving dance-rock style, Hyperphonic soars into orbit.

Can the U.S. Support Cuban Immigrants~ • "Give us your poor, your tired ..."

• Let's take care of our own first

James Hatch

Kathi Renaud

Lifestyle Editor

Campus Beat Editor

The Cuban refugees seeking asylum in the U.S. have the same rights, both legally and ethically, to enter the country that our forfathers had two centries ago.

In two cases in the early 1950's, immigrants to the United States were, according the Supreme Court, "subject to indefmitedetention withoutconstitutional recourse." They were not citizens, therefore they did enjoy the same constitutional rights.

Since then, according to New York City attorney Ethan Klingsberg, the Court has limited "entry doctrine" cases on the principle that people seeking entry to the U.S. have no constitutional recourse connected with their entry petitions, but are in all other ways entitled to constitutional protection. In other words, they have every right to seek refuge in the U.S. Wasn't this nation founded by refugees from foreign countries? The continent was populated by people seeking the same freedoms that have been categorically denied to the Cuban public.

As Cuban refugees flee their oppressed homeland by thousands, President Clinton has once again backed him~lf into a political comer.

The flrst step toward solving the problem is the abandonment of the current detention policy imposed on the refugees. It has not decreased the current deluge of people fleeing Cuba. In fact, the presence of Coast Guard ships, which were deployed in order to prevent the unchecked arrival of "balseros", or raft people, is the next best thing to an open invitation. We have only succeeded in making the voyage for refugees shorter, less dangerous and more alluring.

The cond step is to reinstate the policy which al wed exile families in the U.S. to send mon y to their relatives in Cuba. The prospect of money coming in would cause hesitation .unong many prospective refugees.

Above 111 else the Administration should fmd ways encourage a transition to responsible leadership through the quiet pursuit of negotiations witb, Cuban leaders as well as dissidents. By no means should Castro be forcefully removed from power. A new leader would emerge who could be as politically and oppressive. No one wants to see a Castro-less Cuba if it means the creation of a second Haiti.

Since August 30, American ships have pulled 13,684 Cuban refugees from the ocean. Can the U.S. sustain the growing masses fleeing Cuba?

Yes, America is the land of the free and most of the people here are either immigrants or have immigrant ancestry, but now we have more problems than we can handle with the people who already live here. We defmitely don't need the additional burden of people that storm our borders.

Right here in California we have our tax money being used to support, through Aid for Families with Dependent Children, people who have come from Mexico and South America.

In fact, there are so many that it is adding to the decline of the once great economy of our state.

Look around the streets of North County. The homeless are everywhere and most of them were born here.

This is not a question of prejudice, but of common sense. I say we deal with helping our own people ftrst. If we can't solve our own problems, how can we help other people?

An example is a program that was set up to help the low income people in Escondido called Maac ProjecLc;. As soon ao; you walk in the door you are looking at posters written in a language other than English that deal with amnesty, immigration, or refugees.

What about the American citizens who are down on their luck because of the present state of the economy? Shouldn't they be helped by these programs ftrst? Where are our priorities?

Although we should sympathize with these unfortunate people from Cuba and feel for their hardships, why should we take on additional burdens that take away from Americans and the people we have already allowed into our country?

My heart bleeds for the homeless, especially the children, but should I or could I allow all of them to move into my house?

Soon my own .family would be starving and there would be no room for us.

We can't support the entire population of Cuba, so how do we choose which people to help and which ones not?. If we don't allow· the Cuban refugees into the United States, they will eventually analyze their country's problems and band together to correct them.

Once again I say no to allowing the Cuban refugees asylum in the United States. Let's concentrate on recovering our own economy and taking care of the people already here. I learned a long time ago that charity begins at home and that we can't save the entire world.

• Washington's Merrie Melodies Preamble: We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish entertainment, humor and domestic instability, look for the best defense, promote welfare and secure the blessings of the religious right for our posterity and establish prostitution for the United States of America. ..

If we ever have another Continental Congress, that just may be the way our Constitution will begin.

Watching our nation's government at work isn't much different from watching cartoons on television. In fact, there is a great Hollywood connection with our government in Washington.

Only two terms removed from having a two bit actor at the helm (Ronald Reagan), makes our present character easier to handle.

The entire scenario, Whitewater congressional hearings, sexual harrassment accusations, crime bill passage, they all seem to be invented by some political think tank done purely for our entertainment.

Yes, it's politics at its best, perhaps invented by a team of fiction writers.

How can anyone not get caught up in the facination of it. Myself I thought I would submit my idea to Merrie Melodies cartoons where the Republicans are chasing Clinton.

The starring roles will be filled by Bob Dole as Wile E. Coyote and our man Bill as The Roadrunner.

Can you picture Wile E. Coyote standing before Congress with a Rube Goldberg trap intended to catch the ever elusive Roadrunner?

Dittoheads will cheer, only to be disappointed as, "beep beep," there goes Bill. Well, there'll always other accusations. That's what our lobbyist spend their days in Washington doing.

It's seems there is no end for applying the countries woes to Clinton.

Bob Dole, the perpetual wannabe leader thinks that smearing Clinton will convince the people that the president is harming the American pursuit to happiness. When will these characters ever learn?

Will media coverage affect the O.J. Simpson verdict?

Baseball Season Strikes Out Jeff Vize Staff Writer

The major league baseball strike is now in its fifth week and it seems any hope for more of our national pastime in 1994 has all but evaporated.

At the heart of the disagreement remains the dispute between the player backed revenue sharing plan and the owner endorsed league salary cap. Unfortunately, poor owner cooperation in the past two decades has allowed the players union to virtually rule baseball with an iron fist.

Free agency and salary arbitration have cultivated astronomical salary levels and now only teams with the largest pocketbooks can compete. The owners have proposed a league wide limit on team salary expenditures. Also

known as a salary cap, it is the same system used in the NFL and NBA. The logic behind the necessity of the salary cap is simple. Today, the team with the most tickets sold and the biggest TV revenue "wins." The salary cap will alleviate this kind of misappropriation.

Each team will have only a predetermined amount to spend on the entire roster. In the current system, talent goes to the highest bidder and the top players change hands almost yearly. Eventually and inevitably, baseball loses.

The players have proposed a system of revenue sharing to pool the profits from each team. This would create monetary equality among all of the owners. That's fine for the players because they have nothing to lose, but implementing socialism among the owners is

not conducive to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a scarcer resource than athletic talent.

Eventually, only owner confidence, or maybe even arrogance, will lead to the solution. Although it will be bard to abandon names like Ken Griffey Jr. and Tony Gwynn, the management must do it. When training camp opens in spring of 1995, it should happen with or without the striking players. There are hundreds of eager minor league players within each franchise that are sure to fill spots left vacant.

The union and its members need to take into consideration the long term future of baseball itself. It would be tragic to lose the potential history that would made by the great players of today. But it would be far worse if baseball were to continue like it is today.

Letters to the Editor Justifiable Homicide?!?

Dear Editor: I read with complete horror the final paragraph of your "CON'' article regarding the murder of doctors performing abortions. As Co-Editor-in-Chief of Palomar College's paper, you should be more responsible in your written opinions than sanctioning themurderofmedical personnel as a " ...necessary deed intended to end the crimes against the unborn." As a, presumptively, educated person, you can't be serious.

The vast majority of abortions are performed within the first weeks of pregnancy. At this phase, the woman carries a zygote or fetus, far from being a "child."

Given that every fetus has the potential to be a child, realize that every egg a woman carries has the same potential. What will "pro-lifers" do when abortions are illegal? Monitor the menstrual cycles of

women to be sure no "children" are discarded?

The fact is, there is no acceptable birth control method that is 100 percent effective.

Until that time, abortion must be an option to persons not yet in a position to bear children into an already overcrowded world.

I might ask though, given your reckless and extremist anti-abortion stance, how many unwanted children have you adopted Mr. Crowley?

One Biased President...

Dear Editor I read with interest the letter from Merrill Tyler, president of the ASG.

ing to do with the discontinuation of the book exchange?

There were remarks from other members of the ASG board also accusing these students of the same thing, so when I saw that the ICC (was one of the few) organizations that got a decrease in the budget from the ASG, alarm bells went off. There needs to be an investigation into this. If the only reason the ICC did not get the asked for money is because Tyler and certain members of the ASG have a private vendettaagainstRobertJenkins, who is president of the ICC, then we have a serious problem on this campus.

As an ICC Rep, I want to know what is going on. I'm sure that ail the ICC Reps feel the same way since this affects our clubs. This is not grammar school, folks. We are in college now.

Brian Wallace Photo Editor

For many of us, the constant nagging of parents, relatives and guidance counselors wondering "what are you going to do with your life?" gets pretty annoying-but not for Telescope Cartoonist Steve Troop.

Ever since he first started drawing at age three he has wanted to make a living as a cartoonist. Recently, he took a giant step forward toward fulfilling that goal when In Color, a San Diego company which colors comic books (and where Troop works) asked him to do a series of four comic books for them.

"The Adventures of Mayberry Melonpool" follows the travels of space alien Mayberry Melonpool and his crew as they journey to planet earth expecting to find a culture which resembles the one they have been monitoring via television re-runs. Of course, things turn out to be a lot different than expected.

Troop, whos's only formal training is two high school art classes and one art class at Palomar, started drawing Mayberry Melonpool around age four or five when he grew tired of ~'Q copying Pea- ~ 1>~0 nuts and ~~ Flintstones ~.., characters.

"He started out really basic," Troop says, "with just circles and lines but gradually he became more refined as I became a better artist" Since then, his Mayberry Melonpool strip has appeared in the newspapers at his junior high and high schools.

Most recently, it has been running regualrly here in The Telescope for the last five semesters.

One of the benefits of having your cartoon in the school paper, Steve soon found out, was the recognition that came with it. "It was neat 'cause everyone in class would say 'Wow! you did this?' and I was really shy so it helped me talk to people more."

But moving beyond the pages of student newspapers seemed tough at first. "I sent out packets of my strips to the differ-

cause we really believe in it.

"And to tell you the truth, I don't see us making a profit on this book," she adds. "But it's something we wanted to do to show you can actually make a good, entertaining ~ story without people being ~'Qo_q---,.-,.... - - - - - - - . . , 0 blown away or chopped up. ~t) "I want to get this comic I ~<\"' out there and get kids to read ~e< it.

Palomar soccer seasons begin on sour note Levi Travis Staff Writer

The Palomar men's soccer team opened their season Wednesday, Sept. 7 with a 2-1 loss to Golden West.

Keeper Justin Carteropenedstrongly, saving four consecutive goal attempts. Midway through the first half a shot got past him, and the half ended with G.W.leading.

The first half proved to be tiresome for the Comets, as they opened the second half let-

ting Golden West score again, and huddled on their side of the field for most of the remaining minutes.Late in the game, forward Sasinovan "Turbo" Phoukhao carne off the bench to score Palomar's only goal of the game.

Head coach Carlos Hernandez said he realized his players were probably somewhat over-excited, being in their first game of the season. Coach Hernandez also said, "Our future looks good for the season. We have the people to compete for the league title."

Chris Gleason Sports Editor

Pegasus flew into Palomar and conquered women's soccer.

The San Diego Soccer Club (mascot: Pegasus), comprised of college students and graduates (four of them division lA players) carne to Palomar on Sept. 6 for a modified scrimmage against the women Comets, and dominated the last half of the game. Pegasus snuffed the Comets 4-2.

Playing three 30-minute periods instead of two 45-minute halves, coach Cern Tont said the Comets fell victim to fatigue in the last period when they gave up the two more goals.

"I kind of flaked on those last two goals," said keeper Molly Maloney.

In the first two periods Maloney saved nine goal attempts and had members of the men's soccer team joking about signing her up for their team. The scrimmage was also her first game in two years after suffering a fractured vertebra.

SPORTS From the Sidelin·es Chris Gleason

We have nothing to fear but Ravitch & Fehr themselves Hello, sports fans! This is Chris "Bennan" Gleason here live on day 3,671 of the Major League baseball strike.

As you well know, even though this is the eleventh year of the strike, today' s meetings are only the third that have been scheduled, with the last ones in 1997 being cancelled due to an inability between the sides to agree on the kind of wood that the bargaining table should be made out of.

Representing the owners is the robot replacement for Richard Ravi tch, who died two years ago in a bizarre gardening accident involving a "Weed Popper," two polar bears and a large bag of Bandini. The "Ravitch-0Matic 2000" has been pre-programmed to respond to every statement in the exact same manner as the late Mr. Ravitcb would.

On the side of the players is Donald Fehr, ill, grandson of Donald Fehr, Sr., who is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for reported "illegal import of arctic wildlife."

Like the Ravitch-0-Matic, Mr. Fehr, III has also been pre-programmed.

It looks like the meeting is about to begin.

Let's listen in on the first round of negotiations ....

Mediator: "Gentlemen, please state your respective positions."

R-0-M 2K: "The players are too greedy.

The owners are fmancially strapped. They need a salary-cap to preserver the game and help the small-market teams survive."

Fehr, III: "The players are only interested in keeping what they have. They want nothing more from the owners at this time. Revenue-sharing would be a more productive and fairmeansofhelpingthesmall-marketteams."

Waitress: "Gentlemen and robot, would you care for something to drink?"

R-0-M 2K: "The players are too greedy.

The owners are financially strapped. They need a salary-cap to preserver the game and help the small-market teams survive."

Mediator: ''Excuse me?"

Fehr, III: "The players are only interested in keeping what they have. They want nothing more from the... " Mediator: "Gentlemen, please! What in the heck are you talking about? She asked if you wanted something to drink. Why don't you say something relevant?"

R-0-M 2K: "The players are too greedy.

The owners ..."

Mediator: "Oh, shut up!"

Fehr, III: "The players are only interested in keeping what. .."

Mediator: "You, too, [expletive deleted].

Well, it sees as though the talks are progressing at their usual rate. What say we meet again? In another six years?''

There you have it, sports fans! Another round of talks goes down the round porcelain fixture. See you in theyear2011 for the fourth round of negotiations, provided the Ravitch0-Matic and Mr. Fehr can pull their heads out of their respective ... briefcases.

In the meantime, this is Chris "Bennan" Gleason signing off . Be strong, fiends! And remember the Three Daily Tasks - floss, call your mother, and above all else, thank the Lord for football.

Palomar's Jason lgnaciak is down but not even clos& to out after being tackled by a San Bernardino defender.

Football underway with scrimmage • Kaumeyer and Co. start the regular season Saturday Levi Travis Staff Writer

When their football team stormed onto the San Marcos High School field for a Sept. 3 scrimmage, San Bernardino Valley College was faced with an irresistable force - the Comet offense. Fumbling their own first offensive snap, San Bernardino began what was to be a long day of running into an immovable object - the Comet defense.

The format of the game was a controlled scrimmage which consisted of five or six plays from each special team, 40 plays from both the offense and defense, and several plays from the goal-line offense and defensive teams. No scores or statistics were kept Over the course of the practice game, San Bernardino's quarterback was sacked nine times and hurried several times more than that. Visibly and audibly frustrated, San Bernardino started committing penalties early in the game.

In one drive, though, S.B. Valley's luck looked like it bad started turning around when the quarterback completed a pass from midfield that moved them into scoring position.

However, on the next play the quarterback rolled to the left side of the field and attempted a pass deep into Palomar territory. At the last second Freshman defensive back

Calvin Walton stepped in front of the pass for an 80 yard touchdown interception.

Palomar's line stopped S.B. Valley's running backs on virtually every running play up the middle. If they let the running backs get through or around them, the line backers were attacked with full force. The safeties and comer backs kept the passing threat at bay, and contributed to stopping S.B. Valley's running game.

The goal line defense allowed three touchdowns, two of which wereshorthook-passes to the front corners of the end zone.

If defense is the foundation for building championships, Palomar's football team might again be on its way to being a contender.

However, according to Comets sophomore quarterback Greg Wilbur, the offense has a couple of niches yet to be worked out before the structure can be completed.

"A couple of our best receivers were out (due to concern of injury), so some young guys had to step up," said Wilbur: "There might have been some pre-game jitters on their part as far as running their routes and catching, but other than that, I think we looked all right."

Wilbur connected with some of his receiv-

lootbaU S:eiledule 1994 ....

ers for short gains, but, "we had a lot of dropped balls," be continued, "and I overthrew a few, but they were bringing everybody, and we weren't showing them everything."

The ground game was tested, but not used as often as the passing game. San Bernardino's defense held Comet rushing to minimal yards gained.

Palomar's goal line offense scored on two of their ftrstflve attempts, but were stopped in their last several goal line possessions.

The special teams revealed some evidence of pre-season jitters. The punt team let one long snap get away, and allowed one long return. Conversely, they also managed to hold one punt return to a loss.

Both field goal and field goal prevent teams split their outcomes with S.B. Valley.

Each team scored four field goals, and each prevent team blocked one.

Head coach Thorn Kaumeyer showed confidence in the Comets' future. "I thought we performed pretty good. San Bernardino's got some great athletes, and it was a good test for us. They showed us some things we weren't sure of, but I was encouraged to see our defense play well."
