Homecoming application sparks debate • Students claim multi-cultural questionnaire suggests bias ./
Jeff Vize Staff Writer
Cultural diversity and racial issues on campus dominated this week's Associated Student Government meeting Sept. 28, with controversy surrounding the upcoming Homecoming Court elections. The problem bas stemmed from a preliminary Homecoming Court Application that bad been distributed by the ASG for approval, according to ASG adviser Jim Bowen. The form states that applicants should specify which 'diverse group' they represent. Over 30 nationalities and social groups are listed on the application. Applicants arealsoaskedtolistanyothergroup they may belong to. The Homecoming theme is 'People of the World' ,said Kelly Lupro, ASG vice-president of social events. "It's a multicultural theme. What we're trying to do is get a representative from each [cul-
tural] group on campus," She explained that the Program and Publicity Committee introduced the proposed change in the elections to allow for groups of all kinds to be represented. The distinctions are not based solely on race and do include classifications for such nonracial groups as homosexuals and handicapped, Lupro pointed out. ASG President Merrill Tyler also spoke about the idea as being a problem. Despite the positive intentions of the multicultural goal, be expressed concerns that the wording of the application form, as well as the separation of ethnic groups for the contest would not be looked upon positively by the student body. "Everyone who bas brought the application to my attention bas been appalled," Tyler said. "The wording needs to be reworked so that we can get the form out as soon as possible."

Vending prices rise while revenues drop Peter Sansom Staff Writer
Soda machine prices on campus have risen by 10 cents since the first few weeks of the fall semester. Due to rising vandalism, competition and lost business (the Snack Shack by the math buildings) and fewer machines due to construction, simple business tactics have produced a more expensive soda. John Soles, owner and president of North County Vending which is currently contracted to place their soda machines on campus, explained the reasons for higher soda prices. First, be said vending sales were down due to
the loss of business to the Snack Shack, and, secondly, be said vandalism was another reason for the price jump. Soles estimated that 85 percent of the Snack Shack's gross is the vending machine's lostrevenue. Snack shack patrons are frequently confronted with a long line when purchasing goods in between classes, thus showing the amount of lost business from vacant soda machines. "We bad to pull some of these machines because of the construction," said Bryant Guy, Palomar's Contract Services Manager.

The Classilled Employees of Palomar College have been conducting a letter writing campaign and a show of force at Palomar District Governing Board meetings in an attempt to end a salary negotiation impasse. Their actions took on new meaning after the Sept. 13 meeting which the Council of Classilled Employees, termed the reaction of two Board members as being rude. The CCE considered further statements made by board members to be a threat to their jobs, according to a CCE status report to their members. At the Sept. 27 Governing Board meeting, CCE representative Sue Norton demanded an apology from those two members. Board member Ralph Jensen responded, saying, "I for one made this allegedly rude comment. I'll concur that I made this comment however, I'll question whether it is rude." Reading from the minutes of the Sept. 13 meeting, "Have you sent letters to Pete Wilson?" be said, referring to the letters addressed to
"Yes, we would like to give a raise, but the moneys aren't there. " - Ralph Jensen Governing Board member
the Board from classified employees given during that meeting. Jensen continued by describing the desire of the Board to give the classified employees a raise if there was money to do it with. There was also a contention that Jensen slammed down the employees' letters when be was banded them. He denied this charge when directly asked by Dr. Rita White, board president. "We have stated," Jensen added, "yes, we would like to give a raise. But, the moneys aren't there. We can't give you what we don't have to give." Norton ended her statements by reminding the board that she "didn't ask for a raise or mention negotiations but rather bad made the statement that the classified staff de-
serves respect at all times regardless of the current situation." The Council of Classified Employees, affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, represents Palomar classilled employees who have been negotiating unsuccessfully for a change in the salary matrix system since 1989. The matrix is the basic salary schedule. According to Toni Griffith, a grievance officer and chief negotiator for the CCE, the Governing Board agreed to look into the matrix system, but bas never actually done so. According to Griffith, "The result of negotiations in 1989 led to a task force which the District participated in. The task force made a

Diversity questioned as being appropriate for Homecoming
Continued from Page 1 Dr. Candice Francis, life sciences professor attended Wednesday's meeting to assist the ASG in the field of cultural diversity. The business of the day was suspended so that she could address the board. Francis is currently working with the college to assist in the introduction of greater cultural diversity.
"I'm here today," Francis said, "because I became aware of some concerns that were being raised among ASG members, particularly as they relate to Homecoming. I think its a wonderful idea to have a theme such as 'People of the World' ,B utsome explanation of the theme may be appropriate [in the application form]." Several students spoke at the

meeting. "I happen to be three or four of these groups," said Ellen Noonkester, a paralegal studies major and president of Phi Beta Kappa. "I have, all my life, never wanted to be distinguished as any one thing except American. If I choose not to put any thing on here would I be excluded?" asked Noonkester. Senator Nathan Garcia explained that students may choose whatever group they feel fits them most. "If their group is not listed, then they shol!ld feel free to add to the list. There would be no limits on the
number of different groups that are allowed to enter," Garcia explained. "You can be whatever you choose. What do you call yourself?" asked Lupro in response to Noonkester' s question. "I call myself Ellen. Will I be 'Ellen group?"' Noonkester answered. Following Noonkester' s inquiry, further discussion and any resolution of the matter was postponed by an introduction to table the matter. "This is a Homecoming matter and should be discussed at the appropriate [Programing and Public-
ity] meeting," said Vice President of State Affairs Matthew McNamara. Wednesday's meeting adjourned without any further attempt to resolve the matter. The Program and Publicity Committee meets each Friday at 1 p.m. until Homecoming. The next Programming and Publicity meeting is scheduled for Sept. 30. The 1994 Homecoming game is scheduledforSaturday,Oct.15versus Mt. San Antonio College. The previous week willbeCometWeek.
SODAS: Snack Shack cuts vending revenues About one half of the vending machines have been removed in years past, going from roughly 40 machines to 18 soda machines and one coffee machine. The Associated Student Government has also felt the affect of lost soda machine revenues from the vending companies. Guareenteed revenues decreased from $60,683 to $25,000. Guy explained that North County Vending previously held the schools vending contract from 1986 to 1990. This year's loss of funds from soda machine companies is the first major decline in recent years, according to Guy. Soles further explained that North county Vending was then out bid by another company, ARA. In the process of getting the bid, ARA
extended their services too far and resultantly loss money and the ability to continue their services. Then, in 1992, Canteen bought all the assets of ARA and took over the Palomar contract. Once again the vending company lost money and was unwilling to continue the contract after its expiration. Guy explained that he had to get a vending contract for Palomar on rather short notice and went to North County Vending to negotiate a contract. Soles said that he was apprehensive about guaranteeing an amount to the school because of the company's past financial troubles. However, a contract was worked out that complemented both parties best interest. "I feel that North County Vending and Palomar College both got a fair deal," said Soles.

report and recommendations but have been put off since," Griffith explained. "The faculty bas bad their matrix system adjusted since then," she added, "and the administrative association had an outside company, at great cost, adjust their matrix system. Still the classifieds have not been looked at." An impasse concerning the salary topic was reached a year ago at which time a state mediator was called in, according to Griffith. The CCE claims that Palomar classified staff is far lower than other community colleges as far as pay scale goes. Griffith said that the classified salary range at Palomar "is further under the norm than the faculty's is." Griffith explained that the CCE was asking to adjust the salary schedules of long-term employees. She said the original request from 1989 would have only cost the District $74,000.

"JNSITE94" at the Boehm Gallery
• Interactive art work shows communication with getting in touch Diana Hooper Staff Writer
With graffiti, doodling, and calligraphy the viewers of"INSITE94" at the Boehm Gallery until Oct. 28, become participants of the works of art. The artwork communicates not only what the artists want to express but also reflects the reaction and feelings of the participating viewers creating interactive art. Palomar College JOIDS "INSITE94" in a binational cultural collaboration for the second year of participation in this across the border art extravaganza. Artists from Border Art Workshop and Collaboratorsffaller de Arte Fronterizo y Colaboradores (BAWrfAW) conceptualized and created Boehm Gallery's "INSITE94" art installations. These are interactive installations, an artform which includes sets, performance art and interaction between the artist's creation and the viewer, closely related to the art
"happenings" of the 70's. "So many places that show art where you're not aloud to touch or interact with the pieces," said Susan Yamagata, artist and organizer, "but with interactive art you are invited to become a part of the creation and get involved. These artists express themselves through their art but this communication isn't one sided as the idea is to have someone respond, the final art piece is created through the interaction of the public. " "We wanted to exploreESL (English as a Second Language)," said Yamagata, "the history, the personal side to show how learning a language effects people and what it does to their mentality."

"Dancing at Lughnasa" is the new play opening at Palomar's HowardBrubeckTheatre. The Tony award winning play by Brian Friel will open Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. Directed by Patrick Larmer, the play tells the story of five Irish sisters, Kate (Toni Cafaro), Rose (Devon McFerran), Agnes(Nancy Carpenter), Chris (Kris Bergeron) and Maggie (Jen Stralla) in the summer of 1936. The story is told from the viewpoint of Chris' son, Michael. The women's lives are complicated by the purchase of a radio which gives them constant contact with the outside world. While the radio is fun and interesting at first, it ends up disrupting everyone. When asked why he chose to direct this particular piece, Larmer said, "I like Brian Friel. I fmd his use of language and imagery beautiful, but it doesn't take away from the human interest. Its one of the best scripts I've ever directed."

OPINION Prop. 186: Cure or curse for State? • There's rw such thing as a free shot
• We all deserve health care Kelley Brewer
Peter Sansom
Opinion Editor
Staff Writer
The state is in the grips of a health care crisis which must be addressed. An estimated 6 million residents in California have no health care insurance, Proposition 186 on November's ballot would address the issue by providing every resident the same comprehensive set of health care benefits. The California Health Security Initiative is modeled after the Canadian "single-payer" system and would be fmanced through increases in payroll, income and tobacco taxes as well as by pooling the existing funds from existing state, county and federal health care services. The initiative would establish the California State Health Commissioner as an elected office as well as create a Policy Board and a Consumer Council. The system offers choice, universal coverage and a wider range of benefits than most Californians currently receive. The benefits would include in-patient and out-patient care, emergency care, home health care, prenatal and pregnancy-related services, durable medical equipment, rehabilitative care, language interpretation, outreach, education, children's and adult's preventative care, prescription drugs, mental health, dental, and long term care services. The initiative would eliminate the administrative ''middle man," reduce the bureaucratic overhead expenses which currently account for more than 20 percent of all health care spending in the U.S. Regulating the "for profit" motive currently facilitating the skyrocketing cost of health care would increase access to preventative care and promote general good health. The initiative would implement a program through which the Commissioner would establish relatively low co-payments for services, eliminatedeductibles, and regulate cost containment policies. The initiative would enable individuals freedom of choice in determining health care providers and facilities, as well as providing immediate access to emergency care. The new taxes created by the initiative will replace the more expensive health care premiums, deductibles, and out of pocket expenses that most people pay under the current system. Ending the insurance monoply on health care is the solution to eliminating the for profit attitude that persists in an industry that is necessary to the existance of all people.
The cries of uninsured Californians are being given voice and the potential for legislative action by Proposition 186, an initiative constitutional amendment that sets up a healthservices system for all Californians. It's a shame though that this untested and economically volatile plan is a far cry from the humanistic righteousness that its proponents so endearingly promote. Currently, the optimistically American ideals of goodwill and morality are being financially strained to the breaking point with government controlled programs such as Aid For Dependent Children, food stamps and General Relief. Using history as a t~acher, is it really prudent to hand the burgeoning monsterofhealth care to the government? Hypothetical rambling aside, let's talk about the real deal. Cash. An estimated 40 billion dollar increase in new income and payroll taxes would certainty make a dent in little Johnny's Chrisunas. Not to mention the disheartening results of a opponent sponsored study that indicated a possible loss of 300,000 jobs. That's some expensive penicillin! You'd think that 40 billion dollars would supply Californians with health care synonymous to aLexus; however, this is discouragingly not the case. For a futuristic outlook, we need only to look at our friends to the north, the Canadians. Long waiting list and the inability to choose the best doctors makes the Canadian health-care system look like a dilapidated Hillshire Farms truck. So much for an upgrade on the trade in. America's reputation of having the finest doctors in the world is not a mere capitalistic coincidence. The fact of the matter is that competition, the kind that our present healthservice system promotes, is the best catalyst for producing(or at least rewarding) the most proficient and educated practitioners of a given career or trade. Undoubtedly, assuring doctors of income through prepaid insurance would dull the technological edge of Americas medical scalpel. Any allusions to the contrary should be shipped to the birthplace of this train of thought, then ow defunct Soviet Union. Click... somebody just turned on the light bulb. Hopefully we can all see the light before the dead end of the tunnel.
Proposition 186, the California Health Security Initiative, would establish a statewide health care structure that would insure a comprehensive set of health care benefits with a uniform coverage system for all state residents by January 1, 1996.

Word Up! Rochelle R. Samilin
Politically insane In these "politically correct" (PC) times, blacks are called "African-Americans," orientals are "Asian-Americans," and perverts are "sexually dysfunctional." Rephrasing everything by continually labeling people through PC terms is actually concealing social problems, rather than helping the public understand one another. Changing one's vocabulary for the sake of expressing cultural sensitivity is an excuse by society's standards. Altering words does not change racist attitudes; it is just re-temting. Labeling a race by a different name separates the minority from achieving racial equality. Blacks have been called Negroes and African-Americans. Nevertheless, renaming people still segregates equality. Political correctness does not bridge the gaps, but only perpetuates the problems more. Current PC terms have become so prevalent that commentators are picking up the cue. "The Revised Politically Correct Dictionary" by Henry Beard and Christopher Cerf has seized America's newfound labeling by ridiculing the communication hype. According to the authors, the strive for racial equality progressed most during and after the Rodney King trial. The "can't we all just get along?" theme has continued to help those who truly want to make a difference. While others view PC terms as a way to increase sensitivity and individualism, becoming a politically correct society is taking a step back from social development. Palomar College is no exception to political stupidity, oops, I meant correctness. The 1994-95 Homecoming theme is 'People of the World.' In the original Homecoming written application, participants were asked to specify which diverse group they represented. The "diverse group" included over 30 nationalities and "special" social groups. Part of the "social group" consists of the "physically-challenged" (handicapped) and homosexuals. Taking cultural awareness to the extreme can have potential damage from achieving peace among races, and in this case, the students and faculty. Instead of targeting equality through legislation, people are placing more emphasis on words instead of direct action. By categorizing everyone, PC terms are reducing the freedom of speech by prohibiting people from saying certain things. Education through increased interaction among other races is a stronger solution to ending racism instead of using confusing PC terms. Changing the language only leads to hostility and double standards. An education is what is needed to stop racist attitudes. If the populace became more attentive to real issues and problems, politically correct terms would not be needed.

AASA Responds Dear Editor: 'Twas most embarrassing reading Carla May's article "Learn the Black Heritage-It's American, not AfricanAmerican." This opinionated piece of journalism caught my eye immediately as I browsed by the title thinking a proud sister had the opportunity to promote the learning of one's historic black heritage. Little did I know, your opinions mistake black heritage with Americanism. How dare you make such a Whoopi Goldbergish statement of obvious self-hate? Your analysis of the '60s is incredibly ignorant. I would suggest before tackling this subject once more that you should read black books, take an Afrikana Studies course, or maybe watch the "Eyes on the Prize" video series. They would inform you on what the '60s were really about. Saying the '60s blacks found power through rallying together with Jews and whites and others to create black power makes it seem as all whites and Jews and others were involved in that struggle. That's inaccurate. Only a few good whites and Jews and others gave up their lives to fight. And that is a fact. Your exaggeration of the numbers show obvious favoritism that leads me right to you're other comment saying some so called "African-Americans" would say you're out of touch. Obvi-
Letters to the Editor ously, out of touch is not the right word, more like out in space. Of course a few Africans took part in the slave trade, that's undeniable. But understanding what I just wrote and what I read in your article seems to be two different views. Your views blame most blacks as the only contributor to the slave trade, please read up on your facts. Your other comments on your ancestors who fought to be free and did not fight to go back to Africa was revolting. Saying the slaves tried to be Americans instead offends me. Even if you had the decency to watch "Roots," you would have enough intelligence to know our ancestors fought, bled and died to go back to Africa not to be Americans. As far as what you said about the Nation of Islam, their accomplishments surpass any negative press they have gotten because of their speeches. I have yet to see a more effective force that takes people off drugs, rehabilitates convicts, raises consciousness and builds self esteem in the black community. Towards the end of the article you seem to have made an issue out of debating what black people should be called in America. When every day we learn more about ourselves to title ourselves. That argument shall go on in the black community forever until we can learn the true history of our people as a whole. Basically this article did not live up to its expectation as far as the title is concerned. One should always be able to have the right to an opinion but they should back up their opinion with facts and the facts have definitely been left out in your article. Personally
I feel you need to get out of the master's house and understand the field experience. Thank you for the opportunity for me to express my views. SALAAM (PEACE). Cecilia "Imhotep" Desuse President, Afrikan-American Student Alliance
Newbrough praised Dear Editor: Thank you so much for your feature article on Dr. Michael Newbrough. In a college where anti-capitalism and antiAmericanism (a.k.a.liberalism) insidiously lurk, Dr. Newbrough is a beacon of truth. The flrst time I saw Dr. Newbrough's name was at the bottom of his letter to the editor of the Times Advocate during the Prop. 174 debates. It was that letter which gave me hope that all colleges hadn't succumbed under the burden of political correctness, which in turn inspired me to return to school after having dropped out of high school over 10 years ago. I am currently studying Political Science under Dr. Newbrough, and, though a music major, will seek out any other class he teaches. When you flnd a teacher such as Dr. Newbrough, whether in school or in life, hang on to him or her, and learn everything your mind can absorb. Nancy Tucker Girdler Music

ENTERTAINMENT For Slayer, the song remains the same • New album dishes out more classic darkness Brian Wallace Photo Editor
Someone must have told Slayer that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," because their latest album (thankfully) sounds just like all their others. The group returned to record store shelves last Tuesday with "Divine Intervention," their first new album in four years. And although thealbumwon'twinanyawardsfor groundbreaking creativity, Slayer deserves credit for sticking to what they do best: offensive, immoral, evil speed metal. In a time when most of the 80s metal bands have either called it quits or sold out by making their music more accessible for MTV and radio play, it's a welcome relief to see Slayer remain true to their callin_$. From the very beginning, it is
clearthatthisalbum is classic Slayer. It begins with a song about a murdering sociopath ("Killing Fields") and then leads right into "Sex.Murder.Art." a song which is bound to offend more than a few feminists with lyrics like: "You're nothing/ An object of animation/ A subjective mannequin/ Beaten into submission/ Raping again and again." Slayer continues to write about such familiar topics as the contradictions in Christianity ("Circle of Beliefs"), Nazis ("SS-3") and killing ("Serenity in Murder.") This isn't an album your grandparents are going to buy you for Christmas. It is topics like these which have allowed Slayer to give up the Satanic facade that they are infamous for, yet still remain the darkest band out there. Now instead of writing songs about black magic and Sa-
Brain 'Dead' • Body Count's new album lacks the brilliance of the former John Conzemius Opinion Editor
"They did everything they could to try to take us out, but like any good monster, that just made us stronger..." saysrapartistlce-Tnear the end of his new heavy metal CD. We should be so lucky. Three years after Ice-T made headlines for his brilliant and misunderstood song "Cop Killer," his band Body Count releases an album, "Born Dead" totally devoid of the element which made the original worthwhile: a sense of humor. The original album (called "Cop Killer" until fear of whining Peace Officer's groups caused skittish Time-Warner executives to drop the title) contained songs such as "KKK Bitch" and "Smoked Pork" which addressed social problems such as racism and police brutality in a humorous way. ,Even "Mama's Gotta Die Tonight," with its burning, beating and dismemberment of a racist mother was funny, in a sick, demented sort of way. "Born Dead's" idea of a funny line comes on the song "Necessary Evil" where the bassist Mooseman cheerfully brags "I got a fat bitch pregnant!"

tanic ceremonies, Slayer seems fixated with pain, murder and death. The band makes no effort to calm the many preists, parents and other critics who have attacked them in the past. Inside the CD is a photo of a man's wrists with the bloody word "Slayer" carVed in his arm. Blood drips from the his veins into a bathtub. Also included is a collage of photos of dead bodies along with newspaper clippings about the supposed link between violence and heavy metal song lyrics. Musically, there is little progression beyond what they have accomplished on past albums. Shades of "Reign in Blood," one of the fastest speed metal .albums ever, can be heard in the breakneck pace of lead singer Tom Araya's screaming on the track "Dittohead." Slayer's more mellow side, consisting mainly of a slow, melodic guitar intro and first seen on the title track of"Seasons in the Abyss," is here again on "213," a song about loving your mate, even after you've killed her: "Erotic sensations tingle my spine/ A dead body laying next to mine/ Smooth blue
black lips/ I start salivating as we kiss ..." Of course, guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman provide a double-barrel attack of mile-aminute riffs and ear blistering solos throughout the album, never straying beyond their distinctive sound. Lead singer/bassist Tom Araya still screams and growls his way through every song, but it fits with Slayer's style of music. Surprisingly, the departure of drummer Dave Lombardo is hardly noticeable thanks to replacement Paul Bostapb' s ability to

CD REVIEW Body Count "Born Dead" Virgin Records
** The album's anti-drug song, "Street Lobotomy," with its monotonous repetition of the chorus "Drugs! Liquor! Drugs!" and "Brain! Melted! Down!" makes Nancy Reagan's insipid "Just Say No" campaign seem like a stroke of genius. Still, there is material on the album which make the disc worthy (butnot worththe$16.99listprice). The track "Last Breath" opens with the infamous "Shower Sequence" theme in "Psycho" and ends with Ice-T "cboppin' off your bead" in the grand old tradition of Jack the Ripper. The album also contains a competent, yet lifeless rendition Billy Robert's "Hey Joe," later imortalized by Jimi Hendrix, but most of the material on this disc was dead long before it reached the shelves.

"Rapa Nui" is true to historical lore
Steven Curtis Chapman brings 'Heaven' to S.D.

Billboard magazine recently said of Steven Curtis Chapman, "[He] is poised to do what Garth Brooks did a few years ago, only in a different genre of music." From hit records and videos (including 15 number one radio hits), sold~utconcerts, Grammy awards, to nearly 20 Dove Awards (contemporary Christian music's equivalent to the Grammys), fans of Christian music have come to know singer/song writer Chapman for his inspiring music and charismatic yet unassuming personality. But when Billboard, which is often considered the official publication of the music industry, predicts that Chapman could be lead-

The News Boys will open the show. The theme for his latest album, Heaven in the Real World, came from reading an article in Time magazine called "The Nation That Forgot God." "This Time magazine cover was basically saying that a decade ago Chapman's new release, "Heaven in the Real World," debuted at we declared that God is dead or that number one on Billboard's we didn't need Him in our society," said Chapman in an interview with Christian music album charts.

The desolate paradise is filled with towering stone faced statues of gods who were worshipped by the aristocratic long-earred clan, while the short-earred clan was banned to doing slave labor, This is the setting of the Kevin Costner produced epic "Rapa Nui."

This article was saying that because of this looming sense of hopelessness and despair and uncertainty, people are beginning to ask, 'Is there hope? Can we find meaning and purpose in life?"

1600s. The film opens with a Romeo and Juliet-styled love story between long -earred clan warrior Noro (Lee) and short-earred clan slave Ramana (Holt). Tension begins to mount between the two clans when the forbidden romance is discovered. After persuading the aristocratic elders, Noro is allowed the chance to win Ramana in the Birdman race, while Ramana must spend six months in a small cave so her skin will tum "virgin white." Meanwhile, the short-earred slaves are on the verge of a rebellion to earn their freedom. To calm the mounting tension, the aristocratic long-earred let the slaves submit their warrior Make to enter the Birdman race, confident that their champion N oro will be the victor.

It's an expression that really holds true according to the latest census report at Palomar College. Of the 22,845 students currently enrolled in the fall semester of 1994, more than half are over 25 years old. Furthermore, there are 1,518 students who are 65 or older. "I was slightly apprehensive about returning to school after being out for 15 years," confessed Desiree Covington, a 35-year-old paralegal. She juggles a full-time job, a husband and night classes. Since going back to college three years ago she admits that "learning is exciting." 'The longer you're out of school the
harder it seems to come back," said Diana Hooper, a 42-year-old communications major, who echoed Covington's anxiety. "But you appreciate the value of learning so much more. "Having been exposed to life experiences," she adds, "you get a clearer picture of what you want" Hooper previously worked for the United Nations in Italy. Carol Dever, a 29-year-old journalism major, says that she was out of school for 10 years, but returned to "grab opportunities" of newer and expanding fields. "I tried to come back once before, butitdidn'twotk out. This time everything is working, and I have the support I need." Greg Edwards also returned to school after a 10 year absence and a tour of duty in the Marine Corps.

National win streak sna s at 20 ·• Comets lose for first time since early in 1992 season Chris Gleason Sports Editor
It bad to end sometime. After winning 20 consecutive games since the 1992 season, Palomar's national champion football team saw its national junior college winning streak end Saturday as the Comets fell to Rancho Santiago 31-14 at San Marcos High School's Excalibur Field. For a team that in previous efforts in the '93 and '94 season often defetaed its opponents by hefty scores of 40 to 50 points, the Dons limited the Comets to their lowest offensive output since Palomar's last loss, a 42-7 defeat to Orange Coast College Oct. 3, 1992. Palomar ( 1-1, 0-1) never even bad a lead. "I'm not going to tell you (stories) about bow we should have won," said Comets flrst-year bead coach Thorn Kaumeyer. "We were struggling to stay in the game, to tell you the truth. "It was an ugly game from the start." And ugly it was. Perhaps the Comets' eight turnovers bad something to do with it. Palomar gave away six fumbles and two interceptions to Rancho's defense. If it wasn't the turnovers, Palomar shot themselves in the foot with costly penalties The Comets were flagged 12 times for a total of 108 yards. Defensively, the Comets kept the Dons around their line of scrimmage, forcing five punts. Of those punts by Rancho Santiago's Casey Wilson, one went 10 yards and Comet quarterback Gregg Wilbur (7) another went two. Despite the loss, escapes a diving sack attempt by Palomar's defense Don linebacker Kent Miller (55). managed to knock Don starting quarterback Simon Fuentes out for a few plays after a sack by Comet line backer Sam Niu. Palomar's passing game looked weaker than it really was. Quarterback Gregg Wilbur passed for 303 yards and a touchdown while giving up two interceptions (one of them in the Rancho Santiago end zone). With those kinds of numbers, more than six points usually end up on the board. Not last Saturday, though. Wilbur's completion percentage lacked luster, not that it is entirely his own fault. He completed only 26 of 56 pass attempts for a 46 percent accuracy rate, but 10 dropped passes account for a great
Palomar running back Marc Crnkovic (32) dives into the end zone against the wishes of Rancho defensive end Jason Pacourek (43). This was Palomar's only rushing touchdown of the afternoon. percentage of the incompletions. One of those dropped passes bounced out of the bands of WR Chris Baker when he had nothing in front of him except 40 yards of pasture. The only airborne 1D was a picture-perfect 35-yarder to Baker early in the second quarter. 'We made a lot of mental errors. We made a lot of mistakes. They picked up on that and turned it around," said Comets WR Jason Mehaffey. "It seems like we weren't making the right reads. It's very frustrating. I mean, we can beat these guys. We beat ourselves, I think." On the ground, it was Marc Crnkovic Day. The 220poundrunning back racked up 103 yards on 15 carries. The bulk of this yardage came in the fourth quarter. During Palomar's initial possession of the fourth, Crnkovic charged 35 yards in two carries to set himself up for a 16-yard touchdown rush on his third carry. Even with all that offense, however, Rancho Santiago's was a bit better. Actually, it was 17 points better. "I really didn't know if we could bang with (Palomar)," said Rancho Santiago bead coach Dave Ogas. "I thought we could be close going into the third of fourth quarter and maybe get a break or two." Ob, they bung with Palomar, all right. All the way from kickoff to the flnal pistol. Palomar will have a chance to begin another winning streak on Oct 1 against Saddleback at Excalibur Field, followed Oct. 8 by a road game at El Camino.

Women's volleyball loses to Southwestern Levi Travis Staff Writer
If you are the type of person who can't stand the suspensefulendingofamovie, Wednesday's volleyball match-up between the Palomar Comets (2-2, 0-1) and the Southwestern Apaches (3-1, 1-0) wasn't the game for you. Palomar was unstoppable early, but got frustrated in the middle of the match, and ended up losing in a lengthy fifth game: 15-9, 15-1, 6-15, 11-15, 19-21. It was both teams' ftrst conference match of the season. "I've never been in a game that long," said Maya Lomeli, sophomore back row passer, and the only returning Comet 'We always have long games with [Southwestern], so we're sort of used to this." In previous matches, Palomar started slowly and was forced to play catch-up. However, against the Apaches, Palomar dominated the ftrst two games, easily outgunning Southwestern. "It was our ftrst time being up by two games. Usually we are the ones trying to come from behind," said freshman outside bitter Amanda Stinson. 'We bad them down by two so we slacked off." Southwestern started the third game with a 4-1 bead start and never slowed down in a lopsided victory. Game four provided much more excitement as both teams took several turns leading. Palomar was ahead 10-5 before Southwestern came back to tie the game at 11-11 and eventually won. Southwestern used the Comets' frustrations to their own advantage to gain a quick 8-3lead in the fifth game. A huge stuff block by freshman middle blocker Heidi Bakke brought Palomar within three. As momentum swung back into Palomar's favor, the Comets started an offensive attack that ended in a three-point lead at 11-8. However, Delores Odom of Southwestern demonstrated her arm strength with numerous kills and led the Apaches to a Comet defeat. ''That type of loss makes a person mad." growled Palomar coach TeriMcFarland. "Two easy wins doesn't mean anything in volleyball. It's never over until the last point is scored."
