Guest D.J.s talk from the quad • Local radio personalities team with KKSM Judy Wind Staff Writer
There was a lot of talking going on this week in front of the Student Union. KKSM, Palomar's student-run radio station on Dimension Cable channel 35-B , invited disc jockeys from Rock 102.1, Ql06 and other local stations to team up with KKSM jocks as they broadcasted live back to the KKSM studios. The idea of Guest D.J. week was to promote KKSM . Program director of KKSM, Cindy Rodenhizer, said it was good for the students to see that they can actually get out into the real world of radio. GuestD.J. Week is also a good oppornity for the guest jocks to see what goes on at KKSM. It gives the students a chance to mingle with the jocks, and to make important first impressions, which may or may not lead to further employment opportunties. On Monday, Dave Smiley from STAR 100.7 and Fitz from Rock 102.1 kicked off Guest DJ. week with KKSM jock Keith Elsner. Robert Marsh, assistant promotions director at KKSM, said that audience response was generally higher in the morning because students were just hanging out, and didn't have to worry about going to class. By the afternoon, students were either in class or they had left for the day. Chris Ragsdale from KPRZ and Roque
Matthew from KKSM got many students involved on Tuesday. As part of a promotion deal with Duracell batteries, buttons were passed out. Students are encouraged to wear them all of next week. KKSM spotters will be walking around campus next week looking for people wearing the buttons. Students will be asked their name to be placed into an oportunity drawing. The winner will receive a Duracell Powerpack. Buttons are available at the KKSM studios in Q-3. There was a wide variety of disc jockeys that came to help out with Guest DJ. Week. The following jocks rounded out the week: Vince Michaels and Todd Kelly from Rock 102.1; Karen Carter from KKOS 95.9;and Jeff of "Jeff and Jer," Little Tommy, Jenna Fox, Karen Kay, Joyce Thompson and Butch "The Baker" Rose from Q106. Past Guest D.J. Weeks have not always been successful. But this year was different. Rob Branch, KKSM adviser, said that there's no comparison between this year's Guest DJ. Week and the ones in the past. People were more involved and things were more organized. "This one far outshines any Guest D.J. Week that I've been to," said Branch. KKSM's promotion director, Tinna Morrison, and her staff spent numerous hours contacting people and getting plans together. "It was a great experience for everyone here at KKSM," said Morrison.

Red Ribbon Week
Annual fair-promotes health Judy Wind Staf!Writer
"Healthy means happy" is the theme for this year's Red Ribbon Week at Palomar College Oct. 23-31. Red Ribbon Week, a nationwide promotion, is designed to raise public awareness about living a drug-free life. The Palomar Comet Center for Alcohol and Drug Prevention will be sponsoring this year's activities. This year's Red Ribbon Week will be like a mini health fair with information booths and giveaways. "Hugs not drugs" sums up what this program is about, said Beth Post, Palomar coordinator of drug and alcohol preventions. On Sunday Oct. 23 and Monday Oct. 24, the Palomar Campus will be transformed into a giant red landscape as organizers and volunteers decorate the campus. All week, students and faculty will be encouraged to begin wearing red ribbons. Various community people and Palomar clubs will join the activities and help pass out ribbons throughout the week. Thursday, students and faculty will be encouraged to make dollar pledges towards drinking sensibly. Palomar's Red Ribbon Week concludes
Friday with an opportunity drawing. Additionally, faculty and students will be encouraged to decorate their departments with judging to be conducted on Friday. Palomar College has celebrated Red Ribbon Week for the past three years. The promotion began in honor of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agent who was murdered in Mexico in 1985. Enrique (Kiki) Camarena was kidnapped by drug dealers while on duty in Mexico. His badly beaten body was found a month later. In memory of Camerena, members of the National Family Partnership (NFP) wore small badges of red satin. They encouraged others to take a stand against drugs. Eventually, the red ribbons caught on and the NFP' s message spread to communities across the United States. The frrstNational Red Ribbon celebration was held in 1988. Since then, over 120 million people have become involved in yearly awareness campaigns. This year the NFP is asking people to sign their red ribbons and send them to local or state NFP offices. The ribbons will then be sent to representatives in Washington D.C. to show governmentleaders that Americans have taken a united stand against drugs.

NATIONAL NEWS Four year grads return to college When Jennifer Lyons took her first teaching job after graduating from the University of Northern Iowa in 1989 with a degree in secondary education, she assumed her classroom of students would be the first of many in a lifelong career in education. But when her students went home for the summer, Lyons began to question her career choice. "It was nothing against the kids," she says, "but I just realized that this wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life." With thousands of dollars and countless hours already spent on her education, Lyons felt stuck. "Everyone kept telling me that I would get used to it as

the years went on, but I could already tell it was something I didn't want to do," she says. "I knew I had to make a change right away." Instead of going to graduate school or "getting a job at the White Hen," Lyons chose to enroll in a respiratory therapy class at Madison Area Technical College in the fall of 1990 instead of returning to teaching. "I was looking for something different to do, but I still wanted to work with people," she says. "For some reason, therapy really appealed to me." Two years later, Lyons received her certification in respiratory therapy from the American Medical Association and found a job two months before she even completed the final class toward her associate's degree. "Learning a skill like that is so different from your basic college classroom because you are doing this hands-on, really technical train-

ing," she says. "I was glad I made a move when I did because now I love my job and make more money," says Lyons, who works at a suburban Chicago hospital. "It's the best of both worlds. I get to work with people and when I go home for the day, I'm done- no homework to grade, no lessons to plan." Lyon's story is becoming more familiar among recent college graduates. Once upon a time, a college degree was viewed as the key to not only a well-paying, full-time job, but career fulflllment as well. The rules of employment, however, are changing, and more and more graduates are finding that neither their bachelor's nor master's degrees guarantee job security and financial independence. Lyons is not the only college grad going back to school.

ICC chair Robert Jenkins announced last week that the Palomar College Spirit Club will be holding a free car wash Oct. 29 at the McDonalds on Rancho Santa Fe Rd. Money raised from the wash will benefit the Spirit Club. According to Jenkins, the club is looking for sponsors to pledge approximately "2 or 3 cents per car". Their goal is to wash 200 or 300 cars. Jenkins encouraged all people with cars to attend the event. -Jef!Vize

Campus vendors should look for their fees to increase from $25 to $50 per day, if the Inter-Club Council's motion is accepted and passed by the Associated Student Government. Vendors who do business at Palomar pay a daily fee to a specific club for the club to sponsor them. That fee goes directly into the club's account. "We're going to do this on a trial basis for one semester," said ICC vice-chairmanJimAckerman. "If it works, we will keep the increase and contemplate whether or not to increase it again. If not, we might have to go back to the original fee."
New computer request ICC has requested $2,000 from the ASG to be used in the purchase of a new computer. ICC Chairman Robert Jenkins said the ICC's Macintosh Classic has limited and outdated software, and a printer cable thatdoesnotwork. The money
would assist in the purchase of a computer, printer, desk top publishing software, and a word processing program. If the ICC is allowed to purchase a new computer, each club representative will have access to ICC information, the ability to create flyers and banners. "This would make life much easier for Marilyn [Lunde, senior secretaryofStudentActivities]. She has to do the work on her own computer for many of ICC's business projects," said Jenkins. The ASG budget and finance committee will meet Oct. 28 to further discuss the matter.
SDSU Leadership Institute ASG officers and ICC members will attend the SDSU Leadership Institute workshop Nov. 5 and 6 at the San Diego Mission Valley Hilton. ASG agreed to pay the trip fee of $70 per person. Some of the workshops include Team Building, Leadership, Basic and Advanced Parliamentary Pro-
cedures, How to Stay Motivated, and Time and Stress Management.
ICC monetary requests In other business, the ICC hac granted monetary requests to several clubs. Parental Advisory Council's request for $125 was accepted and passed. The money will be used to make up for costs for the Child Developement Center's Oct. 4 open house. MEChA's (Movemiental Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) monetary request for $125 was granted to help the cost of Dia De Los Muertos (day of the dead) Oct. 29. American Sign Language was also granted $125 to support their song-sign competition Dec. 2. SISTERS (Sisters Informing Sisters Together Exploring Resource Services) was granted their request for $50. This amount of money is granted to new clubs for start-up costs. SISTERS is a returning club thatdidn 'treceive their start-upcosts last semester.

OPINION Should the U.S. police the
world~
â&#x20AC;˘ Let's take care of our own first
â&#x20AC;˘ We must defend innocents abroad Chris Gleason
Levi Travis
Sports Editor
Staff Writer
Lately, the United States military has become involved in a number of affairs that many people would consider none of our business. Somalia, Haiti and the new ordeal with Iraq are the latest objects of anger from these people. They often wonder why we need to be the "World's Policeman." In order to understand why the U.S. needs to be the policeman, people must first understand the very bases upon which our involvement is justified- the gross violation of human rights and the jeopardization of the United States economy. Our country was founded on the belief that all humans have basic rights, and that when governments infringe upon those rights, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. In Somalia, Kuwait(viaSaddam Hussein) and Haiti, citizens were being killed, raped and having their personal possessions seized by oppressive regimes for the sole purpose of advancing the power of the government. If we are truly to champion ourselves as defenders of freedom and human/civil rights, then it is our moral obligation to help those who are unable to defend themselves from oppressive governments. Some would argue that our efforts should be directed towards fighting our own oppression. This argument is ridiculous and shortsighted. Compare the "oppression" of the United States (questions about racism, sexism, etc. innate in U.S. society) to the oppression of the countries mentioned (governmentsanctioned murder, rape, intentional starvation and theft of property). It then becomes clear where we should fight. In the case of Iraq, not only did we defend the human rights of Kuwait from a lunatic dictator, but, and this will make a lot of people mad, we guaranteed the free-flow of oil at market prices. Petroleum fuels the world's economy. Every industry depends on petroleum in one way or another, be it fuel, lubrication or even plastics. Therefore, any obstruction of the free-flow of oil threatens these industries. And if the United States economy collapses, the whole world economy goes with it. With that undeniable fact, it then becomes our charge to protect our economy at all costs. The free-flow of oil is at the very heart of our economy, and therefore the world's economy.
Criminals in America grossly outnumber the police force, yet the United States military does not intervene and help the police do their job unless the situation is of disaster status. Since the military doesn 'tpolice this country, they shouldn't police any other country. The situation in Haiti should not be a top priority on the U.S. military agenda, they are not a threat to our national security. America as a whole would not be hurt if the military stayed out of there, as well as other third world countries. It won't be long before an American soldier is killed in Haiti trying to be a peace keeper, just as in Somalia. (Another situation America had no business getting involved with, where U.S. lives were ended with soldiers dragged through the streets.) When it comes to crime, America's problems at home should be on the minds of U.S. leaders. It should not be the United States' obligation to keep the peace in a country that has little or no economic value. Especially when peace is a hard thing to come by here. What would happen if the Haitian police launched a full scale attack on the civilians, causing America to go to battle with them, while at the same time Saddam Hussein sends all of his forces into Kuwait trying to take over the oil supply? The military could be in serious trouble if we responded to every crisis that develops within the world community. The Gulf situation is totally different. The oil in Middle East provides a substantial amount of the American supply and is worth fighting for. If the job was done right and Hussein was blown to vulture food in the first battle, this new Gulf scare wouldn't have even come about. The United States military would probably handle both situations, but with recent cutbacks, that would be spreading themselves a little thin. The military would need time to recuperate. God help the U.S. if someone else needed the military to step in and save them. The United States has more important problems to deal with, and we should not try to implement our ways on countries we do not fully understand. World peace keeping should be a duty of the United Nations, and countries should attempt to stand up for themselves. Many successful nations have been built on civilian uprisings.

Honeymoon in TJ Being your average Palomar student, I live a pretty average Palomar life. My class attendance on non-exam days is next to nothing and studying is hardly a regular occurrence in my life. The extent of my classroom reading this semester bas been the list of synonyms for female body parts on the backofthe guy's shirt in front of me. There is one activity of the "average" that I do not take part in, though. And for good reason. While the rest of Palomar's underage population seems to think that you don't live unless you party south of the border, I believe otherwise. The school body's attitude became apparent in overbearing a recent conversation between three girls who were obviously quite average. "Oh ... My ... God... You haven't been to Mexico this semester?!" .asked the leader girl. "God, are you, like ... weird?" said the second, searching carefully for her words. "How misguided," I thought. You see, I once held the same frame of mind as these poor girls. That was until I actually experienced a trip to Mexico. I planned my first trip to T.J. as a romantic thing. I figured it would be the best place to make a move on my girlfriend, Terri. After all, who knew what kind of intimate affair the aura of Mexico might inspire? Since it was an overnighter, I needed to find a place to stay. Because most hotels there charge by the hour, I knew that a room would be the biggest expense. The place I chose advertised itself as a quaint little villa nestled in the Tijuana¡ river valley. They proudly offered electricity and carpet as options on all rooms with toilets standard. Imagine, all of this plus no drinking age! Terri would love it I could already tell: this was going to be the night that I bad been waiting for since we met 12days ago. It was all planned as a surprise for Terri and some trickery was in order. I pulled it off by telling her that we were going to the Chula Vista flea market, like we usually did on Friday nights. She never suspected a thing. In the marketplace of T.J., I saw the usual stuff: bongs shaped like the Mighty Morpbin Power Rangers and frreworks designed for American kids to detonate domestic animals. Nothing really caught my attention until we were called by a taxi driver that could have been a stunt double for Poncb in the revolutionary '80s T.V. show "Chips." The driver offered us the "honeymoon special" a twenty dollar ride to the La Chinga Hotel and a bottle of cheap tequila. "I should have known you'd do something sleazy like this," said an angry Terri, implying that I bad planned in advance for this taxi driver to meet us. "You just wanted to get me drunk and marry me!" she yelled as she went walking back across the border.
What's the most important issue for this election?
Staff Editorials
Fresh food for rotting royalty Last week, the homecoming king and queen were crowned amid much fanfare. The candidates were supposed to represent cultural diversity, keeping with the homecoming theme, "People of the World." Unfortunately, thanks to an arrangement with the Extended Opportunity and PlacementServices(EOP&S)Officethat guaranteed an additional vote would be entered for each canned food item donated by a prospective voter, the election results are questionable. The food item "votes" were in addition to the "regular" vote cast- enabling
one person an unlimited number of "votes." In the United States, we have a little system called democratic elections: one person one vote. Not one person and as many votes as they can generate by bringing in canned food. Conceivably, an overzealous homecoming candidate could bring in a case of canned food and stuff the ballot box simply by stocking the EOP &S pantry. Wouldn't the daughter or son of the owner of Smart and Final have an unfair advantage in the race? The EOP& S is noble in their cause to collect food; however, a homecoming election in which votes are "purchased" with food
donations does not provide an equitable system in which all candidates are equally judged on the basis of an existing criteria somehow related to the diversity theme promoted by the event organizers. TheEOP& S couldboldaseparatefood drive in cooperation with the homecoming royalty that would benefit the needy recipients ofEOP&S services without jeopardizing the integrity of the election or its candidates. Let's keep the elections honest by following a fair system of casting votes. This is Palomar College, not Lucky's Advantage.
Senator Craven's comments inexcusable State Senator William Craven (R-38th District), acting like a political poster boy for senility, recently tarnished his "impeccable" public image by reportedly bashing Hispanics. The controversy arose after Craven, who is also up for reelection, was quoted in the San Diego Union-Tribune to have recommended that all Hispanics carry identification cards. Responding to the Oct 18 article, Craven denied targeting only Latinos and said the universal identity card was aimed at all residents. Perhaps we should take a blast from the past- also directed at Latinos-to consider the substance of Craven's intent. Craven said at a San Diego public hearing last year that migrant workers are "the
lowest scale of humanity." Although quoted as saying he did not intend to be racist, Craven's highly controversial remark created an uproar in the San Diego community and beyond. Craven claims that he bas been misquoted twice in the San Diego Union- Tribune; however, the newspaper stands by its reporting saying they have Craven's interview recorded on tape. In baseball games, players get three strikes before they are out, but Craven shouldn't even be allowed to hold the bat in California's political series. Racism, in all its subtle forms, should not be tolerated. This holds true especially for elected officials who are given the authority to represent public opinion in government decision-making processes.
It may be no coincidence that "craven" is defined as "lacking courage" in Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary. Sen. Craven seems to be living up to the textbook definition of his name, as it takes no courage to make statements like these and then claim to be misquoted. Craven's office has produced two reports over the last year which describe the cost of immigrant services on the San Diego government. He is also in support of Proposition 187 which, if passed, would deny health care benefits and public school access to illegal immigrants. Craven's approach to illegal immigrants clearly illustrates an attitude that California voters should not tolerate come next election day.

"I think it's important (for a politician) to do what they say instead of saying things to get elected."
"Prop. 187, because as Californians, immigrants looking for work affects us more here than anywhere else."
"Prop. 187. A lot of people are misinformed and will vote out of fear instead of knowledge."

ENTERTAINMENT Newest nightmare movie is the best of the series â&#x20AC;˘ New spin on the 'Nightmare on Elm St.' series turns out to be surprisingly fresh and innovative John Conzemius Opinion Editor
"Welcome to prime-time, bitch!" - Freddy Krueger Ah, isn'titrefreshing to see child molester/murderer Freddy Krueger return to the movie screens? Especially since America of late seems to be fascinated by a pathetic movie characterwhosemainclaim to fame is moronic truisms like "life is like a box of chock-ob-lates." Exactly ten years to the date of the original "Nightmare on Elm Street" fllm when Freddy first sank his glove of razor sharp blades into the flesh of innocent insomniacs, director Wes Craven releases his "New Nightmare," which, believe it or not, is actually ~tter than the original ''Nightmare on Elm Street" or any of its five substandard sequels. Sure, the fllm contains the usual horrific and sickening special effects and puns any self-respecting "slasher" flick should, such as a near-castration scene with the hapless victim singing REM's ''Losing My Religion." However, where the fllm rises
MOVIE REVIEW Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Rated R Starring Robert Englund
**** above the empty imagery of rival horror pictures such as the "Friday the 13th" series or its countless imitators is in the fact that it makes the viewer think. Granted, your average horror fans aren't out to see a cultural experience when they check out this latest gore-fest, but at least Wes Craven doesn'tmake us out to be a bunch of idiots. Unlike Jason, who simply follows his victims like a brainless zombie (the guy doesn't even have the decency to run after them) Freddy invades the minds of his victims and capitalizes on their weakest points. In this Nightmare, Freddy is not exactly himself. He is not the wisecracking demonic murderer {who typically favors his victims with a clever one-liner before he slits their throats) we have come to know and
love. He is the embodiment of evil, who has become attached to the character of Freddy and is mighty ticked off that director W es Craven had the gall to kill him off in the film's highly disappointing 3-D predecessor, "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare." He returns to torment the "real life" of the actors who play the Nightmare roles, including director/writer Wes Craven who plays himself, New Line Cinema executivesandactorRobertEnglund, who will forever be blessed (or cursed) with being typecast as Freddy. But first, he has a score to settle with actress Heather Langenkamp (Nancy, one of the sole survivors from the original "Nightmare On¡ Elm Street," who originally humiliated him) and her family. It starts off innocently enough with irritating phone calls reciting the familiar refrain, "One-two, Freddy's com in' for you ... ,"but soon turns deadly as he (or just his infamous claw) starts picking off Langenkamp's loved ones. Especially effective in this film is the role of child-actor Miko Hughes, probably best remembered in Stephen King's "Pet Semetary"
Actor Robert Englund paints a recurring nightmare in "Wes Craven's New Nightmare," a psychological horror film. where be plays roadkill-turned-homicidal-toddler. In this fllm, being temporarily overcome by Freddy's spirit, he delivers the best posess ion scene in a horror flick since Linda Blair's Satan in "The Exorcist." The bestpartofthe "New Nightmare" is the fact that nothing has been rehashed from earlier pictures and sold to the audience as new. The
plot contains enough twists and surprises to make even the most avid horror fan sit in awe of its original style. And Craven is wise enough not to leave his audience with a moronic cliffhanger ending (The End?, e.g.), which means that Freddy and his nightmares should finally get the dignified cinematic burial they deserve.
'Pulp Fiction' is Quentin Tarantino's best film yet Stephen Rubin Staff Writer
Rearing its massive ugly head at Quentin Tarantino, the god of hip has stricken the writer-director as a trendy Hollywood flavorof-the-week. However, the Cannes Film Festival darling's new film, "Pulp Fiction," is anything but typical Hollywood. "Pulp Fiction" is a characterstudy blending 12 disreputable members of the ominous L.A. underworld in three separate stories that intersect one another. Like "Reservoir Dogs," "Pulp Fiction" proves Tarantino's gift formesmorizing story-telling ripe with ironic, witty and poetic dialogue. John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson turn in brilliant performances as hitmen partners Vincent and Jules. The rest of the superb ensemble cast includes Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Rosanna Arquette, Eric Stoltz, Ving Rhames, Harvey Keital, and Christopher Walken in one beatifully hilarious scene. "Pulp Fiction" stylizes many of societies vices in frank and often cruel fashion; murder, beatings, drug use, and homosexual
MOVIE REVIEW Pulp fiction Rated R Starring John Travolta
****.,
rape make appearances in the picture. The overdose scene where Mia(Thurman)hasalittletoomuch of some pure coke is a dose of the degenerate human condition part! y played off for some laughs. Beneath this cold, dismal landscape of scuzzy, strung-out mayhem, is the humane sense of conscience tugging at our moral fibers. Jackson's hitman Jules is the center of the moral dilemma. Jules begins to question his own role in the violent sub-world he lives in. There is a certain redemption of humanity that envelopes Jules, keeping him from killing a fellow low-life. The shady and seedy are not glamorized or exalted or made to be freak cartoon caricatures (see Oliver Stone). Tarantino's script attempts to unmask any humanity or goodness beneath the bloody exterior of the gangsters' abysmal lives. The fllm is an anthology that
cuts back and forth across time. Travolta and Jackson play hitmen for drug kingpin Marsellus Wallace, played magnificently by Ving Rhames, who dispose of some novice druggies trying to rip off their boss. Afterward Vincent has to escort Marsellus's cokeaddict wife Mia for a night of eating and dancing. Yes, we get to see Travolta don the dancing shoes once more. Bruce Willis emerges as Butch the boxer who refuses to take a dive in a boxing match which Marsellus payed him to throw. Tarantino himself portrays Jules' friend Jimmie who reluctantly allows Jules and Vincent to hide their blood-soaked car in his garage during the film's comic peak. Harvey Keital, in top form, is Marsellus's associate sent to help supervise the car's cleaning. Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer round out the cast as loser husband-wife robbers aspiring to rob the restaurant they are dining at. Tony Scott glossed over the still-terrific "True Romance" a couple too many times and Oliver Stone buried ''Natural Born Killers" with "Stoneisms" but "Pulp Fiction" is all Tarantino and all that much better.

Computer Movie Magic • Digital effects are transfoming today's films Chad Rebmann StajfWrilt!r
are not limited to science fiction fllms alone. "Forrest Gump" extensively used computerized special effects technology in very subtle ways. For instance, a crowd of 1,000 extras at a political rally was digitally expanded to look like hundreds of thousands and an actor's legs were "excised" off the film to make it appear that he was an amputee. With all these great advances this new technology has accomplished there is also a down side. Creating digital effects is a long and tedious process that can only be done by people with both the knowledge and equipment to do it, sometimes taking years to complete. The upcoming "Dragonheart" film, for example, features a ftre breathing dragon created by digital effects and although filming is complete, the movie won'topen until May 1996!

George Lucas was the first to pioneer this new technology when his special effects studio, Industrial Light and Magic, was working on "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" in 1982. A scene called the "Genesis" sequence showed a lifeless plant being transformed into living, lush world. The effects blew audiences away and required no models, matte painting and was done at minimal cost. Later, the same process was used in the movies "Terminator 2" and "The Abyss." The full potential of digital effects was perhaps best displayed in "Jurassic Park."

Chorale inspired by native works Peter Samson Staff Writer
Palomar College will be treated to The Web of Life, a new choral concert by contemporary American composer John Biggs, on Oct. 29 and 30 at Palomar's Howard Brubeck Theatre. The concert, which is a cantada consisting ofl6 different movements, is based on the inspiration in music taken from the textofNativeAmericansongsandtexts,explained Dave Chase, Conductor of Palomar choral and Chamber singers. The use of the Native-American material, taken form century-old text, represents a coming together of two cultures, added Chase. "The reason I put the program together was to unify an entire program around a theme," said Chase. The concert is a collaboration of
many of the performers at Palomar as well as several off-campus artists. Narrator in The Web ofLife concert is James Luna, performance artist and Palomar College counselor, who is a Luiseno Indian from the La Jolla Indian Reservation. "We are honored to welcome John Biggs to Palomar College for these performances of his most recent works," Chase said. "It is a wonderful opportunity for the community and for our performers to interact with an outstanding artist who has been one of the country's leading choral composers for the past 20 years." Audience members will have the chance to talk with Biggs during an informal meet-the-composer session following the Saturday concert at 8:00p.m. and the Sunday concert at 2:00p.m.

Men's soccer game terminated prematurely •Opponent's coach is red-carded, ejected after arguing a call Peter Sansom Staff Writer
Soccer players are expected to run up and down the field during the game. But coaches? Palomar's soccer game against Imperial Valley College was terminated shortly after the first half when Imperial's coach was ejected for running on to the field to dispute a goal that was called back. . "I don't think the coach was really happy about them calling the goal back, its usually a no no in soccer to call a goal back," said Carlos Hernandez, men's soccer coach. Palomar was winning 2-1 , with two goals from Julio Garcia, when Imperial Valley scored off a corner kick. However, to Imperial's dismay the goal was called back because the linesman had signaled offsides.
Both of Garcia' a goals were scored off of penalty kicks. Garcia was breaking past the Imperial's goalie and ready to score when he was grabbed by the goalie. Garcia then missed the shot, but he claimed vengeance by scoring on the penalty kick. After the start of the second half the game took a turn for the worse over an offsides call on Imperial. "The linesman had the flag up and the referee looked at me to tell me one of my own players had passed the ball back so it wouldn ' t be offsides," said Hernandez. Then the assist for the goal was made by the opposing team that created the offsides call, explained Hernandez. "The referee has to call what he sees, but, if the linesman has a flag up he has to go and ask him what happened ... so he agreed with

the call and he (the referee) called it back," said Hernandez. The Imperial Valley coach threw his hands in the air and ran onto the field to contest the call, got red-carded for stepping on the field without consulting the referee, then started shouting face-to-face at the referee, who said ", you're out of here," and walked off the field. "In soccer, coaches can't walk on the field without the referees permission," said Hernandez .. Without an official assistant coach Imperial Valley couldn't fini sh the game. There will be a league meeting held to decide the winner. While waitingfor the meeting, Palomar men's soccer will remain 2-2 as they prepare to face College of the Desert on Oct. 26.

H20 polo takes on Grossmont Chris Gleason Sports Editor
Palomar's water polo team lost to thirdranked Grossmont on Oct. 18 at Gino Dickhead Memorial Pool 19-6. Starting off the flrst quarter, the Comets had a difficult time moving the ball. In fact, Grossmont had scored three goals before Palomar even had a goal attempt. "We started off a little flat and lacking a little bit of intensity. I think we kind of psyched ourselves out," said two-meter man Chris Rubbo, who made the shot. It was 9-0 Grossmont before Palomar's Driver Kevin Hearn scored the Comets' first goal of the game in the second quarter. Other Palomar goals were scored by twometer man/defender Joel Aldrich (2), Rubbo and two-meter man/driver Brad Casper. The Comets have eight players on the entire team. Seven are required to play the game. Aron Schwartz, one of the starters, may be having an allergic reaction to the chlorine in the pool and is currently unable to play. His replacement is Naoki Ando, a student who had never played the game before this season. Having literally no bench, Palomar could not match the Grossmont's stamina. "Grossmon tis a very good team and they counter very well, but I think it's obvious that they won because they could put in fresh players and worlced us to the point that we got tired," noted McAdams. Despite a very slow start (3-17 over tournament play, 0-4 conference), coach McAdams likes that his remaining players are dedicated to the team. "They're working hard, and they have to realize that they can't feel sorry for themselves and (have to) go out and play hard for all four quarters," said coach Jem McAdams. As of Oct. 20, Palomar will have played a match against Orange Coast, followed by a road trip to Saddleback College for the Saddleback Tournament, Oct. 21-22.
From The Sidelines Chris Gleason
Fans of the world, the time is now. .. UNITE! Is it just me, or is the entire pro sports universe going to Hades in a large wicker basket? The world has now entered week three of the Hockey Lockout, and continues to endure days 69 through 643,921,865 of the Major League Baseball national punchline. Rumors have started floating around that both NH.. and NBA players are considering going on strike to fight their respective salary caps. Well, my friends, it's time for action. The time has come to unite! Let us join our La-Z-Boys and be strong in our command over the remote controls! For far too long the owners and players of these leagues have had us at their mercies. They know we want to go to the ballpark, stadium, arena. dome, etc. and pull for our team, but I ask you: How many of you out there are tired of paying two dollars for a hot dog? Five dollars to park? Fifty dollars for a good seat? All to pay arrogant athletes and megalomaniacal owners, no less. Well, it's time for t,he fans to strike. I say, if they're not going to show the sports, then we just won't watch them! Wait a minute. That's what the neo-fascist Nazi pigs are doing right now anyway. Not only is that an atrocious piece of logic, it would be playing right into their hands. Hmrnm . ... How about a total boycott on sports merchandise? Yeah! That's it! All of you with jackets, shirts and caps, BURN 'EM! TORCH 'EM! SEND THEM TO HELL! SET THE WORLD AFIRE WITH YOUR . . . . (*SLAP*) Oh, thank you. Nope, can't be done. It would be terribly hypocritical of me to suggest that. As you can see by my photo, my cap and I have been surgically attached since the Cretacious Period. To separate my cap from my head would require a major medical procedure and an Act of Congress. (Not necessarily in that order.) Sorry, amigos. Gotta think . .. . I got it! Why don't we call talk-radio shows and whine continuously about greedy players and uncaring owners until the collective ears of the nation fall off? What do you mean that's already been done? Crud .... How about this - we meet in secret every third full moon, chant in ancient Gaelic, dance around the sacred four-leaf clover, burning incense and worshipping Pelota, Aztec god of sports! Yes, I feel fine ... why? Well, maybe we should just resign in defeat. The powers that be know that we sports fans cannot live on bread alone. We need to hear the crash of overgrown, sweaty hockey players slamming each other into large panes of Plexiglas. We need to feel sympathy pains for the basketball players who get their ankles twisted around like they were made of Pia-Doh. And we need to see countless replays of that guy who ran into an outfield wall and crashed through and of Joe Theismann's leg snapping like a twig. Perhaps one day we'll get our beloved games back to us. But don't hold your breath on it. WAIT!!! Maybe that's the answer! Nah, probably not. Although if the owners and players did that. ...

Palomar football wins homecoming game Chris Gleason Sports Editor
Homecoming games are usually schedu1ed around a cream-puff opponent, thereby all but locking up a victory for the home team in front of the alumni. For the first half of the Oct. 15 game againstMt. San Antonio College, not a creampuff opponent by any stretch of the imagination as last season's number-four team in the nation, Palomar fell behind 21-13, but allowed only two last-minute second-half points and came back to win 43-23 at San Marcos High School's Excalibur Field to bump their record to 3-2 (2-2). 'This week we fmally got our focal point," said Palomar long-snapperToddHough. "We weren't concentrating on winning the national championship but just on this game. I mean, we're young. They (the '93 team) were the national champions, not us ." Palomar showed little to no ability to stop theMt. SAC passing game in the initial drive. The Mounties' QB Cody Lee Smith (19-311-304) racked up 78 yards in the air in their opening drive, including a 48-yard over-theshoulder catch by WR Yoda Martin. The drive culminated in an 18-yard touchdown pass to WR Tony Campbell at the back of the Comets' end zone. Palomar responded with a 69-yard drive of their own, with RB Marc Cmkovic (1 0-48) barreling into the end zone from three yards out, his first of three TDs on the day. San Antonio immediately started marching back down the field, but 20 yards worth of holding and false start penalties pushed them out of field goal range at the end of the drive, and it ended on downs. Palomar could not capitalize on this mistake, though, fumbling the ball back to Mt. SAC three plays later. Mt. SAC, in turn, cou1d-not capitalize on the Palomar mistake, with Smith giving up an interception to Palomar's Calvin Walton three plays after the fumble. Starting their subsequent drive at their own 2.5 yard line, Mt. SAC made it to their own 25. Smith then got sacked by Comets Jeff Johnson and Jimmy Burke back to the 17. Smith then gathered himself and threw a deep strike to TE Marvin Allen, who bobbled the ball while in heavy coverage, yet still man-
aged to come up with the reception and turned it into another six points for the Mounties with a TD, giving San Antonio a 14-7lead. Another Palomar punt gave the ball back to Mt. SAC with 9:09 left in the half on their own 31 yard line. Four rushes and two passes later, Mountie WR Brian Tucker stood wide open in the end zone, holding a Cody Lee Smith bulletin his hands. Mt. San Antonio 21, Palomar 7. After Mt. SAC regained the ball following another Palomar punt, Comet LB Jimmy Burke hammered Smith and forced a fumble, recovered by Palomar at the Mountie 34. Comet QB Gregg Wilbur (30-47-0-350) managed to peck away at the San Antonio secondary, firing short passes to wide receivers Chris Baker (5-49), Shaunta' Baker (11133) and Jason Mehaffey (6-48) to get Palomar down to the Mt. SAC 9 before finding Crnkovic in the end zone for a TD pass. Mt. San Antonio could do nothing with the ensuing posession, and punted the ball back to Palomar on Palomar's 29 with :57 to go until halftime. A series of short passes to Jason Mehaffey, Shaunta' Baker and Thomas Gamelin(2-33) left Palomar on the Mountie 5 with :07 left in the half. Gregg Wilbur then tossed a TD pass to Mehaffey, effectively ending the half after the two-point conversion failed. The start of the second half also marked the start of Palomar's domination of the game. Palomar and Mt. SAC traded field goals before the Comets began a four-minute drive that consisted of three passes to Shaunta' Baker, a pass to Mehaffey, a run to Crnkovic and a pass and a run to RB Latron Lofton, the pass setting up Pete Baldwin's 31-yard field goal to give Palomar its first lead of the day, 22-21. The Comets followed thateffortwitha 12yard touchdown pass to Crnkovic on their next posession to put Palomar up 29-21. A 14-yard pass to Chris Baker shortly thereafter extended the Comet lead to 36-21. Mt. SAC retaliated, and once again started marching down the field, missing a chance for a TD when Mountie WR juggled and dropped a pass in the end zone. San Antonio also lost one of its wide receivers on the drive when Comet linebacker Tom Stehly clobbered Larry Brown in the Mt. SAC backfield so hard that Brown had to come out of the

The Mounties eventually lost the posession on downs. Mt. SAC, regaining the ball after Palomar was forced to punt, gave it back when WR Brian Tucker fumbled and Comet DB Daniel Mello recovered. Palomar turned the fumble into six points when running back Eric Clark ran for the game's final touchdown with :09 remaining
in the game and a 42-21 lead for the Comets. The PAT was blocked by OLB Donny Dalton and running back Lamonta Adams ran the ball back to the Palomar end zone for a twopoint touchback, but it was far too little and much too late for the Mounties to mount any comeback. Palomar now goes on to face Long Beach in Long Beach on Oct. 22
