ASG candidates discuss their concerns • Lack of applicants leaves seats open for senator positions Jeff Vize Staff Writer

While the ASG stands for Associated Student Government, only 10 students attended the fall election press conference Sept 14. The press conference, conducted in front of the clock tower at noon, was intended to give students an opportunity to question ASG candidates. Elections will be held Tuesday, Sept. 20 and Wednesday, Sept. 21 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the Student Union. In order to vote, students must present picture IDs. First semester student Ellen O'Connor, who attended the press conference, expressed her dissatisfaction about the event' s low attendance. "This is sad. No one around here even knows what's going on. Why don't you guys advertise [the press conference]?'' asked O'Connor. According to ASG advisor Jim Bowen, interest in the elections has been weak. In his address at the Sept. 7 ASG meeting, Bowen expressed concern for finding enough people to fill the seats. Although Bowen had stated a week earlier that he would like for the current ASG members to go

recruit new candidates, he recieved few responses. At the press conference, the list of final candidates for the election was announced by ASG Senator Christian Butler, who serving as the election committee chairman. Open positions this fall include executive vice president, vice president ofstate affairs, treasurer and seven senator seats. Running for the vacant executive vice president positions this fall are Kim Neeley and Roderic Wadds. Neither candidates have served as ASG officers before. In his address, Wadds emphasised, "I've gone to every meeting since I' ve gotten interested inASG...I'msomeoneyou can count on." In his candidate questionnaire, Wadds echoed these sentiments by stressing reliability as his best qualification. "I feel as though I am a qualified candidate for the ASG because I am dependable," he stated. According to Neeley's address, which was delivered by ASG Senator Steve Hough due to her absence, shebelievesthatherexperiencefixmn being the Inter-Oub Council representative for Alpha Gamma Sigma will help her serve on the ASG.

ASG candidates for the fall election spoke to a crowd of ten students Sept. 14. Elections will be held Sept. 20 and 21 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the Student Union. Contending for the vacant vice president of state affairs position are David Mathis and Matthew McNamara. Because of the shortfall of candidates, the other positions are certain winners for their respective positions. "'This is the only race on campus as far as I'm concerned...the students will win no matter who they vote for," said McNamara. A student now in his 13th semester at Palomar, McNamara is currently

serving as an ASG senator. In his candidate questionnaire, McNamara stated, "I feel that I am qualified to be a candidate because I collected 200 signatures." His opponent, Mathis cited experience as the ICC representative for the African American Student Alliance. In his speech, Mathis said he has a ''natural love for politics and a desire to represent the students with dignity." The vice president of state af-

fairs race drew attention from ASG Treasurer Sharon Hubbard, who publicly criticized The Telescope at the press conference. As part of her response to a question concerning quorum, she drew attention to the fact that the Sept 7 ASG meeting was adjourned when Senator McNamara walked out after a motion was made to extend the the meeting.

The world community came together these past two weeks in Cairo, Egypt to address a critical issue facing humanity, the population explosion. Meeting from Sept 5 to 13, the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) assembled delagations from some 180 countries and over 1,200 nongovernmental organizations to hammer out language for a voluntary ''Program of Action" intending to stabilize global population at approximately 8 billion people by the middle of the 21st Century. According to an Associated Press report, what emerged out of the deliberations was a "20-year blueprint'' for slowing world population growth. The ICPD' s "comprehensive approach to controlling rapid population growth" even won partial endorsement from the Catholic Church which, in keeping with its longstanding objections to artificial birth control, had completely rejected the flnal documents of previous UnitedNationspopu-

lation conferences in 1974 and 1984. Chief U.S. delegate Timothy Wirth was quoted as saying, "I think it was a remarkable agreement and an extrordinary consensus." Going into Cairo, ICPD Secretary General Dr. Nafis Sadik characterized the sentimentsofthe gathering inhispreamblespeecb. ''This conference .. .is about choices and responsibilities-for the individual, the community, the nation and the world. Its aim is to widen our freedom of cboice--eboice in the matter of family size, choice in population policy and programs. Choice in developmentphilosophy and practice," saidSadik. "If we wish for a wider range of choice, we must also recognize and accept responsibility. Men must take responsibility for contraception and fatherhood, communities for the weaker and most vulnerable members, nations for the well-being of their people, and the global community for the future of the environment on which all else depends," added Sadik. · See POPULATION, Page 5

"The Telescope needs to publish the names of the [ASG] members who don't show up so the students can see why we don't have quorum," said Hubbard. Because of a continued lack of

interest by the student body, only three candidates will be running for the seven senate seats. The new senators will be, incumbent Diana Devereaux, and flrst time officers Leroy Miranda and CecilaDeLeon. "Six senator packets were distributed," said Butler. "However,

two of the potential candidates did not attend the required meetings, and one other quit." As a result, with only three senators being placed on the ballot, four senator seats will remain vacant on the ASG. The position of treasurer is also

up for election, but only incumbent Hubbard has applied. She was appointed last spring, with the current term running through spring 1995. With the exceptions of incumbent Senator Devereaux and Executive Vice President candidate Kim Neeley, all other candidates

were present at the press conference. Despite their absences, the candidates did submit completed questionnaire forms. The two absentees were unable to attend due to prior commitments. Attendance at the press conference was not mandatory.

College president responds to 1948 letter Kate Nelson Staff Writer

Palomar can't blame the post office for this one. Last month a 46-year-old unanswered letter written by a member of the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce was found by Professor Pat Archer, who is writing a book on the

history of Palomar to coincide with the school's 50th anniversary during the 1995-96 school year. The letter's author was concerned that Palomar College officials were considering moving the main campus from San Marcos to Escondido. Last month the Chamber was reassured by Palomar President George Boggs that the college would stay at its San Marcos location.

"I just wrote back to the president of the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce saying we were a little late in our response, but that we were planning to keep the campus in San Marcos," Boggs said. "Then I said if he had anyotherquestions,Ipromisedanothertimely reply." Boggs said he thought writing the letter would draw some positive attention toward

the school. "[The purpose of the letter was] to promote the school in a positive light, and let everyone know we are doing some research into our history and getting ready for the celebration of our 50th anniversary." He said he hadn't received a reply yet from Doyle Cogburn, the current president of the Chamber of Commerce. Cogburn could not be reached for comment.

abortions and sterilizations. As reported by the AP, the consensus reached allows individuals to choose the size and timing of their families through the availability of accurate information and suitable birth control mehtods, "in accordance with [their] national laws, religion and culture." Currently, global population stands at 5. 7 billion people and 93 million more hwnan beings will be added to that total this year alone, according to ICPD sources. If this rate of growth should continue unchecked, the number of human inhabitants of the planet will triple by the end of the next century. In the U.S. alone, comprising only 5 percent of the world's population (but still the fastest growing industrialized country), each citizen "consumes approximately 30 to 40 times the natural resources" as does an individual living in a developing nation, according to Laura McMarty, writing for the ZPG Reporter. Multiplied by a population of 260 million, our numbers, when it comes to impact on the earth's limited resources, would be equivalent to 7.8 billion people or approximately six Chinas (presently, at 1.3 billion, the most populated nation on earth). In a f'mite world, population pressures cause or contribute to almost all the environmental , political and social problems nations face today. From pollution to regional wars to ethnic unrest, more people are competing with each other for less available land and resources.

Indian Day Run '94 slated for next week Rochelle R. Samilin Copy Editor

In an effort to promote California Indian Day, the Native American Student Alliance [NASA] is hosting a demonstration dance and the 1994 Indian Day Run Sept 23 and 24. Coordinated by NASA chairperson Leroy Miranda, the event will include Indian guest speakers from local reservations, a display of crafts and dancers performing near the Palomar Clock Tower. The event will take place Friday, Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. "California Indians are unique, [they're] not like the plains Indians-they are more Islander," said Miranda. "I hope [the audience] will realize that they have Indians in their own backyard. We want to educate non-Indians on Indians," Miranda added. Officially proclaimed "American Indian Day" by Governor Ronald Reaagan in 1968, the purpose was to

"inform Californians of the valuable historical and cultural contributions of American Indians." In addition to the dance performance, the the sixth annual 1994 California Indian Day Run will be held the following day at the Pauma Indian Reservation located near the American Indian Education Center. Aimed as a venture to promote community.health as well as American Indian Day, Associate professor of American Indian Studies Linda Locklear organized the run. Starting at 8 a.m., participants will have the choice to engage in the "5K fun run" or a one mile walk. Registration fees include T -shirts. Local Indian artist Robert Freeman and former Palomar instructor designed the shirt for the event. Prizes and a Pala beneflt breakfast will also be part of the program. For more information please call Locklear at 7 441150 Ext.2425.

A man was escorted off campus last Tuesday by San Diego County Sheriffs after reportedly stealing three rings from a jewelry vendor outside the Palomar bookstore and also threatening to assault the merchant after he tried to stop him. According to Chris Horvat, the Campus Patrol officer who flrst arrived on the scene, the incident came about after the man, who identified himself as both Kenneth and thenJohnathon, had three rings set aside for him, saying he would return the next day to purchase them. When "Johnathon" returned at around 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, however, he demanded that he be given the rings, saying that they were rightfully his due to his "Viking blood." When the vendor, Jack Zaidman, refused to give "Johnathon" the rings, "he got upset and came around the table like he was going to hit him," says Horvat. "So the proprietor went inside the bookstore to call us. "They were both in the store when I arrived, about 30 seconds after he called, and the guy immediately launched into his story

about how he was a Viking and Horvat. "We called the Sheriffs that the rings belonged to him. He because he was threatening us. was convinced that they belonged Then he tried to leave out the to his family. He just rambled on back of the store, but since all of us, except for one person who and on," said Horvat. Meanwhile, students and other was on truck patrol, were there, passersby began to flll into the we were able to detain him until lobby of the bookstore to watch the Sheriffs Department arrived. and all available Campus Patrol Now its out of our hands."

Automation: One giant leap for the library • Flipping through card catalogs a thing of the past by fall semester 1995 Peter Sansom Staff Writer

After seven years of searching and scraping-searching for the right system and scraping for the $300,000 necessary, full library automation could come to Palomar by early September 1995. "We fliiilly believe that library automation is a necessity at Palomar College," George Mozes, director library/media center and educational television, said. "Palomar is among one of the very few colleges in the state that doesn't have an automated library." Mozes explained the search for an automation system didn't really take off until three to four years ago; however, this last year's progress has brought the possible realization of success. Consequently, if the funding is obtained, the library has to now select an automation system. "First we sent out an RFI (Request For Information) to prospective dealers with a description of what we wanted," Mozes said. "Then we waited for the proposals to come in." Withinamopth 12companiesresponded and six were selected for further consideration. "We actually identified 555 specific functions that the system should do," Mozes said. "When I say we looked at 555 functions it

doesn't mean that we looked for a Cadillac kind of system. "Wejust choose the system that best fit our collection, usecs and library," Mozes said. "We are now in the process of looking veiy closely at three or four of them so we can make an RFP (Request For Proposal) in a month or so." "The RFP is a final kind of document and it's very similar to the RFiin termsofhowit's made up, but, when companies respond to the RFP we can only legally choose the three lowest bids," Mozes said. "So we plan sometime by the beginning of October or November to send out the RFPand we hope to have responses from the companies by early December," said Mozes. "At which time we will be presented with the three lowest bids and we will choose one of those." Ironically, the fact that the library has waited so long for automation is a blessing. Mozes pointed out that many libraries that were automated in the last seven years or so are already wanting to upgrade. "By having to wait so long for our system we can now have access to the latest technology in library automation," Mozes said. A helpful feature of this system is the plain language directions that it uses to tell patrons where a particular book is located. "Not only

Palomar has one of the few college libraries in the state that is not automated. will it display a call number, but, it will also tell you were the book is," said Mozes. "Library automation will definitely bring the experience and knowledge of the library staff to the students," Judy Cater, media services librarian, said. "Once we get the library automated it will open a whole range of services to our patrons." "Clerical fl.ling, overdue book processing, and related paperwork are all currently done by hand and it keeps the library staff quite busy," Alexis Ciurczak, library public services, said. ''Library automation will auto-

mate the staffs work as well." "Card catalogs are fine but they are awkward and slow," Librarian Dan Arnsan said. Arnsan went on to explain that the automation would help all library users in their quest for information. Mozes further explained that "we live in an information age where having all the information in the world is useless if you can't access it. Definitely those who use the library will be able to use it more efficiently, fmd information faster and more accurately," Mozes said in reference to the conversion.

AND THE QUESTION IS... : Charles Van Doren(Ralph Fiennes, left) and Herbert Stempel (John Turturro, right) are contestants on the "Twenty-One" hosted by Jack Barry (Christopher McDonald, center) in a scene form the movie "Quiz Show."

Television $cam deceives audiences and game contestants during golden age • Moral bankruptcy leaves nothing for "Quiz Show" Rochelle R. Samilin Copy Editor

In the midst of America's Golden Age emerged the scandalous deceit of lies, greed and the struggle to hide the truth from faithful television viewers. But not for long. Tantalizing gullible contestants with the chance to win thousands of dollars was the name of the game in director Robert Redford's fllm "Quiz Show." Not a rookie in show biz, Redford successfully captured the timely essence of '50s T.V. game ''Twenty-One." Set in 1958, Americans were strapped to their couches, eyes steadily affixed to the tube as if there was no tomorrow. Lingering dollar signs dangling from their subconsciouses minds was the only reason viewers watched ''Twenty-One" week after week. That, and scoping the next big-shot intellectual win the gigantesque cash flow. . Little did the public know a scam was practiced behind closed doors. Big winners meant bigger ratings and the "wonder" contestants were merely staged actors for America's television audience. Nerdy Queens college graduate Herbie Stempe!

played by John Turturro ["Mo Better Blues") captured America's attention by continually winning six straight weeks. Stempel's nice "boy-next-door" image was what the audience needed at that very moment-the ignored underdog to make it big in the world of glamour and superficiality. Stempel's highpitched, whiny voice was essential to his simpleton, disenchanted character. Originally seeking a contestant spot on the "Tictac-toe" show, Charles Van Doren (RalpFiennes) is the high intellectual son of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and English professor Mark Van Doren. Already doomed behind his father's prestigious shadow, Van Doren had to face himself in the ultimate clash of telling the truth or keeping a terrible lie. Accomplished British-born actor Fiennes was true to his role of playing the refined American aristocrat He is best known for his nomination as best supporting actor for his portrayal of a sadistic commander in Spielberg's "Schindler's List." In the 1990s where man questions himself and society, it is almost inevi!able that "Quiz Show" raises questions pertinent to the current moral structure of American culture.

Local Band Loam Di • San Diego band puts heart into soulful melodies Sarah Frederiksen Entertainmenl Editor

"It's unfortunate, butitseemslike the bands that pour the most out into their music, who unzip their skins to step outside themselves, are seen as these heavy bands," remarks Loam frontman Frank Drennen. "So no one takes them seriously. If I don't believe a hundred percent in the words I'm singing, I can'tsing them." Loam is a band worth taking seriously. Since its conception in early 1994, Loam has achieved a sound and attitude many bands never each. Together with guitarist Chris Pacilio, bassist Clark Stacer, and drummer Trace Smith, Drennen's vocals and acoustic guitar blend to create a musical ride through mind, body, and soul. Loam was created through the efforts of Pacilio an d Drennen. Friends for years, the two played on their ftrst stage together in 1987. "Weperformedinfrontofagroupof about 200 kids," explains Pacilio. "All were into straight pop music, and here we were doing punk songs. The night of the gig I walk in with my guitar rig and Frank's in the Quiz show contestant Van Doren (Fiennes, right) and show producer AI Freedman (Hank bathroom with his hair sprayed two Azaria, left) collect mail when the show "Twenty-One" was at its height of popularity. feet off the top of his head."

"I had never been in front of an audience before," recalls Drennen. And I didn't have a guitar because I was still learning acoustic back then. So I was standing in front of all these kids singing and all of a sudden Chris's solo part comes up and I didn't have anything to do, so I flipped on the ground and .''lst started flopping like a fish on land. I was out of control, knocking things over... " "Theysatthereanddidn'tknow what to make of us," concludes Pacilio.

Drennen and Pacilio didn't work together again until January 1994. "Chris was busy with Cheese c'loppe, I was doing my solo thing. It wasn't until I recorded 'Julianne's John Deere,' my solo effort, which Chris played on, that we thought offorming a permanent band together." Weeks later Stacer joined Pacilio and Drennen in an early version of Loam. "Frank would bring us a new tape each week of songs he played," recalls Pacilio.

OPINION Is population control necessary~ •The "population crisis" is a llnY~

• Women's rights are the real issue Kate Nelson

Stephen Rubin

Staff Writer

Staf!Wriler

The United Nations population conference held in Cairo, Egypt began as a meeting to decide how humans might control an increasingly larger population. All seemed to be going well until the Catholic Church and various Islamic countries raised their voices about a small portion of the agreement concerning abortion, contraception and sex education. The UN has made it clear that the agreement is simply a recommendation for its members, not a commandment. However, the Catholic Church's opinion on abortion is written in stone. According to the Vatican, under no circumstances should abortion or contraception be considered. I have to wonder sometimes if the Pope or his advisors read the newspapers, or if they have read the agreement which they are so against. The agreement will not be imposed upon anyone. It's interesting that the issues in the disputed portion of the agreement deal with women's health and women's rights, yet the vast majority of the representatives at the conference are men. That's the way it's always been, men making decisions that directly effect women. All humans are curious, when information is withheld, they experiment to learn more. Likewise, it does more harm than good to ignore and try to sweep under the carpet an adolescent's burgeoning sexuality. Sex education for adolescents does not cause promiscuity. It gives them the information they need to make intelligent decisions. Some kids are going to so out and have sex anyway. Sex education does not say: "Here's a condom,

The alarmist activists convened in Cairo for the conference on population and development, that ended this past Tuesday, stating that women's rights were essential to stemming the tide of overpopulation. A women's right to what? Perhaps its easiesttouse the U.S. statementtotheconfeJ"ence: "Right to have access to methods of fertility regulation." The U.S document also includes passages that call for governments to provide "reproductive rights" including "fertility regulation" and "pregnancy termination." After sifting through the carefully worded endorsement of international abortion on demand, the thought of this mass holocaust occurring is terrifying. The Pope was right in attacking the U.N. for trying to impose its humanist views on the ending of a child's life. So we punish the children for past generations mistakes? Do we say to future generations of unborn children, "sorry darling, you are not worth keeping alive so·a doctor is going to kill you." A question that needs to be addressed is where is the attention being focused on? The ~problem is developed nations verses liDdeveloped nations. The U.N. estimates that 95 percent of the total world population will increase in developing nations between now and the end of the century. The key to stabilizing the birth rate is to expand economic opportunity, something Pope John Paul VI offered as an alternative to murdering children. Human progress in everything from food production to human health care has raised the quality of living dramatically. Women need to have the same rights, not to aborting a child, but equal rights as men do in education, jobs and social standing. The human condition has improved dramatically since the world's population began to expand rapidly at the beginning of the industrial age. Do not be conned into thinking there will be a worldwide food shortage anytime soon. Human advances in food production has made past predictions of human starvation foolishly alarmist. God's will must not be imposed upon by some humanistic call for abortion on demand. Such a heinous evil is an abomination against humanity and a mass cop-out for better solutions.

Johnny: Go have sex."

We haJe to be practical about population control. 4ccording to Newsweek magazine, the curreQt world population is 5.7 billion. The projf::ted population growth for developed natt>ns is 120 million by 2015. The increase for undeveloped nations is 1.7 billion by ~15. When the human population outgrows the earth, where are we going to go? Every '-"oman should have the right to do what she ~ants with her body. If she wants to have an ciJortion, she should have that right. If she wants to use contraceptive devices, she should hate that right. She should not have to live undef"estrictions imposed by men, which violate hcfrights as a human and as a citizen ofthewood. ·

The numbers racket One needs only to look at a CSU introductory course grid to understand the confusion, for any college counselor could explain the need for a better system. Judging by their accounts and by the problems of transfer students, it is obvious that a common course numbering system for the public colleges of California is long overdue. Because of the endless diversity of catalog numbering systems, transferring, for Junior College students can be a nightmare. Without the extensive help of a counselor or multiple catalogs, it has become increasingly more difficult for students to decipher which courses lianSfer to which schools. Even with professional college counseling, students often end up wasting time by taking classes not necessary for transfer. It is easy to see why. Take, for example, the incredible amount of diversity in just one class, Intermediate Algebra, for the CSU schools. In 20 schools, there are 18 different course numbers. To further complicate things, most numbering systems are not even similar. CSU Bakersfield calls it Math 105, while HumboldtcallsitMathD.Haywardlistsitas Math 1100, but Dominguez Hills simply calls it Math 6. Now add to this the fact that there are also 8 UC schools, and 107 community colleges, each with a different numbering system. It shouldn't take you hours with

Where 's .the justice in Rwanda? Has the world has forgotten about the atrocities of last spring in the small African country of Rwanda? Last February and March the media was fllled with reports about the brutal butchering of hundreds of thousands of people during the resurgence of a civil war between the Tutsi and Hutu tribes. The mass exodus of refugees into neighboring countries and the contamination of river water from floating corpses were front page stories. The media dramatically portrayed the information about the genocidal activity occurring within Rwanda. However, as other crises within the world developed, the media coverage of Rwanda diminished. Currently, a group of three West African legal experts are preparing a report which will indicate whether, according to international laws, the events that transpired in Rwanda constitute genocide. Webster's dictionary defmes genocide as the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group. In July a U.N. SQeCial envoy determined that "planned and systematic" killing occurred in Rwanda I don't understand how it took so long to realize the obvious, but what is even more incomprehensible is why the U.N. continues to drag its feet in dealing with the Rwandan crisis. According to Rwandan PatrioticFrontleaders, moo: than 30,000 people have been implicated in the brutal butchering of more than half a million people. The U.N. Security Council established a group to monitor the human rights situation in Rwanda three months ago. The information gathered will supply the necessary evidence to establish a tribunal court and bring to trial those implicated in the massacres. Last week the head of the U.N. post in Rwanda resigned in frustration with the bureaucratic red tape within the U.N. The group has been unable to collect the required information because they are not getting the supplies they need to accomplish their task. Why aren't these people being given the support they need? Has the myriad of world events caused the public to ignore the fact that hundreds of thousands of people were massacred? Where is the public outrage at the lack of expediency in dealing with the crisis in Rwanda? The head of the U.N. effort to monitor human rights in Rwanda, William Oarence, has expressed the determination of the U.N. to bring people to justice. "It is tremendously important for the world community to condemn genocide," Clarence said.

a counselor to figure out if a math class transfers. With thecommoncoursenumbering system, every school would be required to number the class identically. This would avoid the confusion of translating numbers into different curriculums. The result would be a tremendously easier system for both students and counselors. The current system, which incorporates the California Articulation Number agreement of 1984 (CAN), is outdated and simplynotcomprehensiveenoughtodothejob. The dual numbering system of CAN helps, but still requires lots of catalogs and counselors. The fact that it encompasses only about 150 courses and lacks an agreement with the uc· s hurts CAN even more. It's time for tbe state to budget money for a common course numbering system. The time spent creating the system will be repaid one hundred fold in the innumerable hours saved for future generations of students and counselors. 1be common numbering system will ensure them that they are taking classes necessary for their educational goals and not wasting money. If properly executed, the system will help make graduating in four years a reality by making California's college system among the smoothest running in the United States.

Staff Editorial

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: With the outstanding all-around faculty we are blessed with here at Palomar, we sometimes take excellence for granted. This past June, however, credit was given where it was long overdue. Congratulations to Charlie Ingham, professor in the English Department, for being honored as the Distinguished Faculty Member of the Year. His dedication, compassion and unique insight into the human condition that pro-

vide a leading experience far surpassing that described in the course catalog. I don't believe I've ever met a more thouroughly decent person in my life. He fights his demons daily with an extremely sharp wit and a smile. Congradulations on a great choice by the selection committee, and to Mr. Charles Ingham, Associate Professor ofEnglish and outstanding faculty member of 1993-94. Mike Salovich Social Servces

Who the hell even cares? The staff of The Telescope unfortunately found out how uninformed the majority of persons on campus really are. Some members of the staff were recruiting volunteers for the "Voice of the People" section of the paper. You can look towards the bottom of the page to see what that column looks like. Well, this week the burning question, which almost nine out of 10 persons confronted outside the student union couldn't answer was, "Should the U.S. invade Haiti?" Astounding the reporters and everyone else on The Telescope staff, but creating much humor in our conversations, the general response to the question was, "What's Haiti?" Now I understand that most of us have very busy lives, with the Emmy' s and the MTV music awards all in one week, but "What's Haiti?" Now, to those who have decided to begin keeping up with current events by picking up The Telescope and actually reading, Haiti is a small impoverished nation not far from the other imPOverished nation of Cuba. which is just off the horizon of Florida. Florida is a state in the southern region of the U.S .A. The U.S.A. is where you live. Now you may want to know why the U.S: (that's us) would invade a small impoverished island nation? If you had been paying attention during the past five years you would have learned that President's Reagan and Bush discovered that popularity is measured by thrusting might upon lesser opponents. By sending $10 trillion worth of military forces into a small impoverished nation and stomping all over them we get to feel superior. The American public loves that kind of thing. So Clinton (he's our president) and his aides have devised this plan to invade a small impoverished nation only to help himself out in the polls (That's a form of measurement we base our performance on). Inside sources say Clinton first suggested Panama (that's a small central American country with a canal that runs through it), but his aides reminded him that President Bush used that nation for his popularity boost back in '89. Anyway, Haiti is so close to our shores that the cost of fuel for the trip there and back will be next to nothing. Which is important since they don't have any oil for us to take once we conquer them. Congress (that's a big warm section of our government) bas been very concerned about the cost of our invasions and is always looking for a return on our investment.

â&#x20AC;˘Political Science Professor Dr. Michael Newbrough is a man with an opinion... and a voice. James Hatch FeaJure Editor

Robert L. Wooley Contributing Writer

11.

Liberalism and political correctness are settling across the landscape of this country like an early morning fog which isn't going to dissipate with the rising of the sun. Dr. Michael Newbrough probably can't lift the haze by himself... but he is trying. Known around the campus as a political lightning rod for conservative issues and points of view, this political science professor is quick to point out that he considers himself a Libertarian. Webster's defines the word lib.ertarian as "one who believes in freedom of action and thought; one who believes free will." He indeed emphasizes the importance of an individual's right to make choices,

"The ASG is nothing more than Congress in microcosm. " -Dr. Michael Newbroueh Poltlcal Sc:lence Professor

and in the same breath asserts the oppositions right to disagree. ''The decisions made by an individual belong solely to that indi-

vidual. But at the same time, if you have a different opinion you have the same right to voice it." Although he seems to thrive on controversy, politics and political science, he has no desire to hold a political office; he even laughs at the very idea. ''No, never. It's interestiqg that most politicians have very little political science background, and most political scientists want nothing to do with politics. "It seems like there's an observer status, and then there are those who like to play with the power. It's the ultimate aphrodisiac I suppose; power." By no means, however, has the absence of a desire for a public office quelled his appetite for litigious discourse. Although he bas managed to distance himself from committees and clubs on campus, he has, most notably, remained dismissive toward the Associated Student Government at Palomar College. Government, according to Newbrough, is not needed at every level of every institution in society, and that goes for the ASG and Palomar as well. "It seems to me that power corrupts at alllevels. It's very sad to see that our student government spends so much energy fighting among themselves and figuring out how to spend student monies, rarely solving common problems on this campus. ''The ASG is nothing more than

Dr. Newbroueh fiields questions the U.S. Congress in microcosm," he continues. "It serves no purpose but to train (students) in the corruption of power. ''Even though I know that Stu'dent Activities Director Jim Bowen works very bard to make the ASG a success, it's nothing more than an embarrassment." After a momentary pause, as if considering possible reactions to his lashing of the ASG, he continues, "Personally, I'd get rid ofit. I don't think that the campus would miss it at all." Pause. "I'll probably upset a

Dr. Newbroueh: the animated professor demonstrates a point.

lot of people with that statement." Outspoken though be may be, Newbrough is not at all uncertain of his role at Palomar College. "I'm basically here to teach political science," be concedes. "More than a science, it's a fascinating art. If the learning process is enjoyable in my classes, well that's what I'd rather be known for than any kind of so-calledoutrageousorradical viewpoint I'm not really that outrageous or radical." Maybe his political perspective is not that outrageous, but it is certainly provocative. And it is not as though he simply fires controver-

from Shawn McEvers while Nicole Erler patiently waits her turn. sial opinions haphazardly. In the last five years be has only written two letters to The Telescope. One of them was again directed toward the ASG. That letter primarily bad to do with the issue of gays in the military. Indirectly, it scolded theASG for the use of student funds collected at registration to send a gay and lesbian group to Washington to lobby." Pausing to choose his words carefully in order to not be misunderstood, be continues. "I thought that it was inappropriate, and it isn't because they're gays and lesbians. It was never put to a vote to the students. They represent a very narrow interest group, and I didn't think that student funds, properly, should go to that kind of an activity. "I just wanted to vent my opinion, and apparently there were some others who agreed with the appropriateness of that policy," be said in reference to the letter. "I was angered at being labeled homophobic, which a distorted, misused word if I've ever beard one." The second letter which Newbrough wrote to the school paper dealt with his support of Proposition 174, the defeated school voucher initiative. Although 174 did not pass, the fact that it even made the ballot sent a message to state officials that people are realizing that the educational system in this country, especially in California, is in need of some kind of restructuring. ''That was all part of the political give and take, and that was a lot of

fun. (Prop. 174) needed some restructuring, but on the whole I was in supportofit," be said. "It was just a point of view." This somewhat nervous and soft-spoken man in the interview is astarkcontrasttoconfident, sometimes brash individual whose substance and style in the classroom has garnered him awards, including the Distinguished Faculty A ward. According to Newbrough, his political views were greatly influenced by the time he spent in Europe as a tank gunnerwhileenlisted. in the Army. He later attended school in Paris as a graduate student after receiving a Fulbright Scholarship to study international affairs. These events in his life may have been influential, but a visit to his officeshedsmoreligbtonwhatmay be an even more profound, if simpler, foundation for his beliefs; more so than construction Berlin Wall, the closing of the French universities or the Russian occupation of Czechoslovakia The walls of his office are covered with pictures of his daughter, Henry David Thoreau, and at least a dozen of various mountain scenes.Âˇ With a recollection that carries with it a mist of fond remembrance he reminisces, "I was born and raised in the country," be said, "and for most of my life I've been trying to get back to it. "I like the peace, and the quiet, and the big sky and the hugeness of it. I long for those distances where all that you bear is the wind in the pines and the screeching of a hawk or an eagle. You get your perspective again. I love that feeling."

Cheerleading squad. wins top national awards .

Angela Logan Staff Writer

Palomar College's cheerleaders walked away with the highest awards and honors that Southern Methodist University's cbeerleading camp bas to offer. The awards included; home cheer, spirit, and side-line just to name a few. In addition to these group awards, partners Paul Groom and Cristy Scbimp took the highest partners award called "Top Gun." Four individuals were also chosen for All American, the highest award a cheerleader can receive. The 18-member squad started practicing in July for the competition at the SMU camp, as well as for the upcoming school year. According toCheerleading Coach Sheldon Price, the squad stays busy during the school year performing for all home football and basketball games. They also have three exhibitions. Their big competition of the year is held at Sea World in San Diego in April. Cheerleaders from around the country come to this competition, which is sponsored by the Universal Cbeerleading Association. For tbe last three years Palomar's cheerleadersbave taken third place in their division 8l tbe Sea World competition. This year they expect to take first place, according to trainer WillieSimpson. takes a lot of bard work, balance, IU'eDgtb Bl coordination to compete at this level," Simpson said.

carry at least nine units in college. In addition, most squad members work full-or-part-time. Even with all of this, Simpson said, "there is no weak link on this team. Everyone carries their own weight, literally!" With all the budget cuts Palomar has had to make, the cheerleaders have bad to hold car washesanddoor-to-door sales to raise money. They also had to use their own money to go to the SMU camp. · The cheerleaders and dance team will be performing at a pep rally on Sept. 23 in front of the Student Union.

This is when starting back-row player Maya Lomeli took over. Six consecutive serves produced a 64 Comet lead. The lead stayed at two until 10-8 with the help of two of Stinson' s monster kills. Game four produced another bright spot- Lisa Ybarra. The kill specialist showed some versatility with three dominating serves to open the game, generating a 4~ 1 Palomar lead. Coach McFarland was particularly happy with game four, when the Comets started to play her version of textbook volleyball. "I like my teams to play the ball back," said McFarland. "Eventually [the ball] will bounce off someone or something good will happen." Palomar did just that, playing consistently and letting Cypress make the mistakes. Cypress' last rally died as Lomeli served out the fmal two points.

Sometimes a coach just "gets a feeling" abouthisorberteam. Teri McFarland, coach of the women's volleyball team. may be having one of these experiences. "This could be the best team I've had," said McFarland. In their regular-seasonhome opener, the Lady Comets rebounded from a slow start to defeat Cypress College 6-15, 15-8, 15-8, 15-9. OutsidehittersAmandaStinsonandLisa Ybarra led Palomar with 12 kills apiece. Although they lost the f1rst game of the match, the key substitution of setter Kelly Zimmerman midway through the first game made a large difference, according to McFarland. "[The substitution of

From the Side· lines Chris Gleason On the first day of school of the Fall1991, I had in my back pocket an acceptance letter to San Diego State University (not that those are terribly difficult to get) and a desire no greater than to be in the SDSU Marching Aztec band. (I have told you before that I was never much of an athlete, but I hesitated to include the fact that my geekiness extended all the way to joining marching bands.) I started classes in August of that year, joining for the f1rst of three times the Marching Aztecs. My motivation for this was purely selfJSh - I wanted priority registration and to

get into football games for free. Besides, the feather that sticks out of the top of the hat looks pretty damned macho. Although I have sustained much ridicule over the years for being a band geek, never have I regretted my decision to join the band, because it was the band that led to me meeting My Friend Marshall I was lucky enough to be in the same freshman class with Marshall Faulk, and was even luckier still that he and I were always seen together. I do not mean that I shared any friends with him, or any academic classes with him, or even a nodding acquaintance with him, but instead that he and I shared campus space on the same days in the same years. Zowee! That was cool! Actually, as a band geek, I was one of the privileged few who saw every home game in which he played. (Therefore, I was at Jack Murphy Stadium whenever he was, and people saw the both of us. Therefore, what I said earlier is absolutely true. Therefore, nyah, nyah, nyah, neener, neener, neener.) I was on the field preparing for a postcame concert when I saw Marshall sit on the sidelines resting after his initial record-setting night against University of the Pacific. I

patted him on the shoulder pad and complimented him on his good game, saying somethingprofoundlike, "Goodgame, man." He replied, quote, "Thanks." With that, he became, forever, My Friend Marshall.

Throughout my college years I have shared every emotion that My Friend Marshall bas had. I cried when My Friend Marshall got passed over for the Heisman Trophy in favor of that yucky old Gino Torretta. I cheered when he and Darnay Scott broke the all-time NCAA career combined-yardage record. I even felt sympathy pains when My Friend Marshall suffered a collapsed lung. I spent the best part of that semester defending my friendship with Marshall to my other friends and family. They thought I spent too much time doting over someone I did not know. Ha! Marshall and I are best buds, although Marshall may not know it The three fall semesters I spent at SDSU were the only times I ever got to see My Friend Marshall. I talked to him only that one time, but after that I always felt a special bond with him. You see, he actually spent a moment to talk to a hapless band geek like me. In gratitude, I have tried to send My Friend Marshall Christmas cards and birthday gifts,

but I did not know his address, which has made our friendship difficult many times. I could not call him at his dorm because I did not know his telephone number. This also put a strain on our friendship, but I remain ever hopeful that we will once again be best buds. Earlier this year, My Friend Marshall was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts, and he currently leads the NFL in rushing yardage and made three touchdowns in his rookie debut. The bank account of My Friend Marshall will soon be reaching into the millions of dollars. Yay! Now he can buy me "Moons Over My Hammy" at Denny's! When I found out he joined the NFL, I was kind of mad at My Friend Marshall for not telling me why he left SDSU without telling me. I forgave him, though, because with any luck, My Friend Marshall will soon remember the good times we had together. I hope he remembers soon. These padded walls are starting to close in on me, and I miss my 397 Marshall Faulk posters. If that mean old doctor ever removes this straight-jacket, I am going to give My Friend Marshall the biggest hug he has ever gotten in his whole lifewhen he comes to rescue me from tbis hospital.
