March after Prop. 187 debate turns violent • Flag burning, student beating, auto damage among incidents Rosetta Lynch Contributing Writer
A Palomar student was attacked and beaten by opponents of Proposition 187 during a demonstration in front of San Marcos City Hall which followed a heated debate on the initiative at Palomar College Wednesday. The student, David Phillips, was beaten after trying to stop a female student from burning the American flag. Sheriffs shielded the victim and led him from the crowd. According' to Lt. Scott McClintock, Phillips snatched the flag away from a student who poured lighter fluid on it. "Seeing the flag being burned upset him because his father died in Vietnam," said Mclintock. In another incident, 18-year-old Palomar studentClaudiaB ucio suffered minor injuries when she was knocked down by a truck at the corner of Vineyard and Mission Avenue as she marched with other protestors down to City Hall. Sheriffs estimate that the truck was going about two miles per hour
whenBuciowashitaftershecrossed against a red light Fellow protestors said the driver purposely drove into the crowd, butMcClintocksaid it was his impression the accident was not intentional. The Sheriffs Dept. is investigating the accident, he added. Bucio remained on the ground, but refused treatment when the paramedics arrived. McClintock said that protestors attacked the truck and smashed its windows. The driver's shirt was ripped and he suffered minor cuts. The march to City Hall followed the morning debate at Palomar, when protestors rallied on campus, and then proceeded toward City Hall and Cal State San Marcos before returning to Palomar. The goal of the debate, according to MEChA organizers, was to educate people regarding Prop.187. If passed, 187 would ban undocumented residents from receiving social services such as access to public schools and health care, exSee PROTEST, Page 4

History prof. receives apology • Faculty Senate to resume dean evaluations Francis T. Crowley Co-Editor-in-Chief
Following disclosures of a dispute between Dean of Human Arts and Sciences Doris Pichon and history professor Charles Han len, Dean Pichon has issued an apology to Hanlen and the Faculty Senate has moved to reinstitute faculty evaluations of deans. In an Od. 26 meeting, Pichon, Hanlen, Social Sciences Department Chair Loren Lee, Dean of Instruction MerrileeLewis, Faculty Senate President Margie Ruzich and Bonnie Dowd, president of the faculty gathered to discuss issues of academic freedom raised by the incident. Hanlen had been issued a warning by Dean Pichon following student complaints that he had said Native American women were used as "beasts of burden" prior to the introduction of horses. Hanlen defended his statement as historically accurate, and said it was never intended to be sexist Hanlen said he received a written apology from Dean Pichon Oct. 28.
"As jar as I am concerned I want our teachers to be free to teach the subjects the way they see fit," - Merrilee Lewis Dean of Instruction According to Hanlen, an apology was not the central issue. He said that the administration's willingness to reaffirm its dedication to academic freedom was foremost in his mind. Pichon was out of town and unavailible for comment. Margie Ruzich, Child Development instructor and president of the faculty senate said academic freedom is, "a professor's inalienable right to instruct, within the course of an outline, to deliver how he or she chooses the information, without infringing upon a students rights." Hanlen said in the meeting he made some very pointed remarks that he felt were needed by the administration "to proclaim and rein-
force and rededicate itself to academic freedom. "There is both the problem of academic freedom and also an administrative mentality that fosters a very strong feeling on campus among many of the faculty," he explained. "This is a big issue that everyone is effected by." According to Dr. George Boggs, president/superintendent, "From what I understand the issue has been addressed and resolved. It's unfortunate that it got to be such a big issue. Thecollegedoesn'thaveany concerns with Mr. Hanlen's teaching, we think he is doing a good job." See TEACHER, Page5
Board candidates discuss issues Kate Nelson Campus Beat Editor
The forum held Wednesday for Governing Board candidates in the Governing Board room was punctuated by an accusation of racism toward a candidate made by a faculty member. Anthony Guerra, a professor in the Multicultural Studies/Behavioral Sciences Department allegedthatcandidateJonLanden made comments toward minorities enrolled in his auto class at San Marcos High School that might have made them transfer out of his class. Landen called Guerra's accusation "a total lie and .a personal attack." Landen had earlier stated his position on hiring, saying that he thinks hiring practices should be "color-blind": the best qualified person should be hired, regardless of his race. About 100 people attended the forum, which gave voters a chance to hear candidates' views on subjects of interest to faculty, staff, students and voters in the district.
• See Page 5 for profiles of Governing Board candidates According to the faculty manual, the purpose of the governing board is to "serve as a representative body elected by and responsible to the people of the college district." Board members are requi.ed to represent the views of the public to the Board and administration. ASG President Merrill Tyler, who also sits on the Board, said, "Board members set the goals for the college." Tyler said issues affecting stu.dents decided by the Board include the budget, the transit center, a phone system, class schedules and lawsuits. Candidates banded together on most issues, sharing many of the same opinions. On the issue of creating diversity on campus, all candidates agreed on the "color-blind" policy.Other topics discussed by the candidates were Palomar's vision statement, and how they planned to be involved with the college if elected.

When language cops an attitude Ambrose Bierce once called slang "the grunt of the human hog," while S.I. Hayakawa described it as "the poetry of everyday life." The debate over its use and meaning rages even today, when slang is often still considered the bastard child of the English language, although perhaps not as socially unacceptable as it once was. Irreverent and colorful, a breezy expression such as "Bite me!" slips into our lives and insinuates itself into daily conversations. And though it's certainly passable conversation among friends, it's not exactly an expression you'd want to air at a formal dinner at the White House. Or
even with your grandparents. Impolite as it might be, slang does have one benefit: it can express disbelief ("Get out of town!"), dislike ('"That sucks!"), or disgust(unprintable, suggests the anatomically impossible) in a direct and uncompromising way. Under the proper circumstances, slang gets the point across bluntly and humorously. And despite what parents or teachers told you, just about everyone in the United States uses it to some extent Why? "Well, for one thing, it's fun," says Dr. Jonathan E. Lighter, author of a massive new dictionary that treats American slang in a serious way. "It puts pep, color and personality into language. Slang also suggests an intimate familiarity that standard language simp! y cannot convey." · Slang, with its rebellious attitude toward traditions is an underground communication that is particular! y popular with groups
of people who are not part of the power structure-young people, for example. Other subcultures where slang has flourished include the military,. students, athletes, musicians and ethnic groups. The meanings and history of such expressions have been recorded by Lighter, a linguistics professor at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, in what appears to ·be the most comprehensive and exhaustively researched collection of American slang ever put together. References are gleaned from sources as diverse as weighty tomes of the Oxford English Dictionary to pop culture to other compilations of slang, such as University of North Carolina Professor's Connie Eble's "College Slang 101" (1989: Spectacle Lane Press). For instance, on page 173, Lighter traces the expression "Bite me!" to a 1992 episode of ''Married .. .With Children" (Fox-TV).
PATROL BLOTTER Compiled from Campus Patrol reports Wednesday, Oct. 26 7:50a.m.: Burglary- A Campus Patrol officer reported a possible break in to the security shed at the north end of Lot #9.

The individual in the oncoming vehicle confirmed the information to the officer. Monday, Oct. 31 8:00a.m.: Obscene Phone Caller- Campus Patrol officers received a report from an employee in the Snack Shack regarding an obscene phone caller. The unidentified caller, according to the report, phoned four times within two hours describing sexual acts and threatening the answering party with sexual assault. Tuesday, Nov. 1 9:30 a.m.: Auto Accident- A student, according to the Campus Patrol report, backed out a parking stall in an '85 Honda and struck an '87 Nissan waiting for the space.

Faculty Senate prepares for 30th birthday As Palomar College gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, the Faculty Senate is already celebrating its 30th year in existence. According to Palomar's records, the Faculty Senate was officially organized in the 1964-65 academic year. The Senate's 25 members are chosen to represent all of the colle£e's academic departments including the library and counseling staffs. Currently Margie Ruzich serves as President of the Faculty Senate and is also an associate professor of child development at Palomar. At the Senate's awards dinner last spring, Ruzich presented a special "Presidents' Award" to Bill Bedford, associate professor of physics and engineering, for his outstanding dedication to the students, staff and Palomar community. Bedford is one of the founders of the Faculty Senate and has been a faculty member for 33 years. More recently be has served as secretary of the Senate and as head of its Committee on Committees. -Jasmine Jurling

An anti-Prop. 187 protest march on campus continued toward San Marcos City Hall and Cal State San Marcos.
Protestors of Prop. 187 came prepared with signs and banners to voice their dissent Nov. 2 during a debate on the "Save Our State" initiative.

cept in the case of an emergency.
Protestors of Prop. 187 criticized Gov. Pete Wilson for his support of the initiative.
Ted Hayes of the Border Solution Task Force, which suppcirts Prop. 187, told the crowd of about 250 gathered on the lawn by the Student Union that passing the initiative will force the Mexican government to take responsibility for its citizens. "If they do wish to come to the U.S. they should do it legally," said Hayes. Trying to talk above a largely hostile crowd, Hayes said allowing undocumented aliens to cross the border without consequnce is an injustice to the majority of the Mexican population who are unable to cross the border. He suggested that trade, investment and increasing the Mexican standard of living are the solutions to California's illegal immigration problem. Following each ofHayes' points, the crowd shouted "That's racism!" and "Go back to England!" Claudia Smith, attorney for the California Rural Legal Assistance, strongly disagreed with Hayes. Smith said that the initiative will turn California into a police state, but it won't solve the problem of illegal immigration.

"One of the things I think we need to reassure our students and the faculty is we do treasure academic freedom," Lewis added. At the Oct. 31 Faculty Senate meeting, the subject of dean evaluations was a central topic. Associate Vice President of Human Resources, Jane Enright presented the senate with a draft of an administrative evaluation form for deans. Enright said the administration is looking for faculty input in evaluating the performance ofdeans. In describing the intended use of the form Enright explained, "The information placed on the form is what's important. Not necessarily the format in which it comes." The faculty senate is expected to vote on acceptance of the final draft at their Nov. 7. meeting The Social Sciences Department is planning to address the issue at their Nov. 3 department meeting. Work bas begun on redrafting a letter to administration concerning the issue. According to Hanlen, the department will acknowledge the latest developments but still intends to take issue with academic freedom. "If there is a general concern about academic freedom," Lewis said. "It should be discussed amongst the faculty. We have what is called the "academic and professional matters policy."

Nearly 200 hopeful authors of the "Great American Novel" packed Palomar's Mount Carmel satellite campusThursdaynighttomeetpublished writers, literary agents and representatives from local support organizations for writers. The three-hour "Evening for Writers" forum gave participants the opportunity to network and receive helpful tips and manuscript criticism from successful professionals on a casual one-to-one basis, according to Mike Sirota, director of the writing program at the Mt. Cannel Center, and author of 19 novels. Campus staff were unprepared for the number of students and local residents who came to see and hear 43 guests from all areas of the writing profession. "This is the first event of its kind at the center," said Sirota. "I'm veryamazedatthenumberofpeople who attended." Sirota said that he expected less than 50 people to attend the free event, which was advertised in com-
munity newspapers to attract fulltime authors involved in writing a first novel, screenplay or other project. Nona McClure, director of the Mt. Carmel campus, said that over 100 people had telephoned to make reservations for the event by Thursday afternoon. "We also allowed those without reservations to attend," McClure said. "We have a lot community events on campus, but this one turned out to be really popular." "I'd say the (attendance) split was about 50-50 non-published to published writers," said Donna Kordela, a romance novelist who also teaches one-day writing classes at Palomar's Escondido and Poway satellite campuses. Guests were asked to talk about their lives and craft to participants who crowded among rows of tables, looking for answers and advice, or simple words of inspiration. Mark Clement, ahorrornovelist who recently published his third novel told one aspiring author to never quit writing. "Maximize your persistence," Clement offered. "It's the only thing you have control
over." "Take some classes and learn what to do," suggested Kordela to another budding wordsmith. "Then make the time to write." Many of the "Evening of Writers" participants were local residents who came looking for hope in the competitive world. "I've had a book idea banging around in my head for years," said Rancho Peiiasquitos resident Dorothy Coates, 57. "This might just be the thing to inspire me to sit down and write it." A computer progranuner from Carlsbad, who identified himself only as Eric, called in sick from his job to be able to come by and hand out copies of his science fiction screenplay. "There's three or four agents here tonight and I'm leaving outlines of my work for each one for them," he said. "Besides, I hate my job and I'm broke, so why not come by and meet some people who might help me?'' Lonely aspiring authors who were looking for companionship had recruiting staff from the San Diego Single Writers' on hand who were soliciting membership.

OPINION
Prop. 188 ... up in • An equitable solution for all John Conzemius Opinion Editor
Smoking is a personal choice and should not be regulated by government bureaucrats under the guise of protecting the public .. Propo Ition 188isdesignedtoprotcctnon"mokers from second- wnd smoke exposure by Impo mg trict venlllal.lon standMd and implementing tough laws on smoking mpublic. The lawmakers in thi state have already passed regulal.lons restricting public smoking that will takeeffectJanuary 1,1995. Proposition 188 is the voters' opportunity to implement a more equitable solution than the currentpolicies offer, one which balances the rights ofboth smokers and nonsmokers. The government has no right to impose smoking restrictions on businesses or individuals - the choice should remain with the individuals and business owners. We cannot allow the government to restrict personal choices and private activities of individuals. Although critics claim this initiative is a "smoke screen" put together by the "evil" tobacco industry, the fact is that they are a legitimate business which has the right to protect its interests and accommodate its customers. This initiative, if passed, will discourage minors from smoking by outlawing advertisements in the vicinity ofelementary, middle and high schools. It also increases fines for the sale of tobacco to minors; as well as banning cigarette vending machines from unsupervised facilities where minors are permitted. In fact, the strict new regulations would requirebusinesses,thatchoosetopermitsmoking, to establish a separate ventilated area for smokers which will protect nonsmokers from exposure to second-hand smoke. All of the opponents misguided rhetoric cannot dispute one simple fact: under Proposition 188, not one single nonsmoker will be exposed to cigarette smoke against their will. We must balance the rights of all people when determining public policy and the fact is that many people choose to smoke. Freedom of choice is a hallmark of our democratic society and should not be taken for granted. Voters should support this measure because it gives the people, not the politicians or the government, the right to determine what statewide smoking regulations will be in California.

• The initiative ts a smoke-screen Kelley Brewer Opinion Editor
Proposition 188 is a tobacco industry financed campaign de tgned to deceive the public illlo \'Oting "v ' on a mea urc that will repeal all the u regulations on smok fheirde\erlydis u pllign clams to prm t 1c tmns.,.. hen in reatity , II this :' c ·~ mitiative wtll actually loo en th~ current regulating tar ards that govern public policy 'On <>mokin g. The tobacco indu try has collectively poured over S8 million dollars into a no-holds-barred advertising campaign that includes full page ads in TheNew York Times as well as over 25 percent of the billboard space available in California. The tobacco industry, or more specifically Philip Morris, is trying to "educate" the public with rhetoric that decries a "tough" and "restrictive" set of statewide restrictions. The fact is that the current regulations are more concerned with realhealthcareissueslikesecond-handsmoke exposure and preventing the sale of tobacco products to minorS< Why would the tobacco indilstfy spend millions of dollars on an initiative that is obviously against its own profit based "best" interests? The answer can be found with the knowledge that the current laws are affecting their profits enough now that spending this much money is worth the "investment'' for potential future sales. The opposition is made up of such groups as the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, the American Heart Association as well as a variety of other health related organizations alludes to the motivation behind the forces manipulating the measure. The opponents have collectively spent only $280,000 in their effort to encourage people to vote against the measure. These groups do not have the funding to compete with the tobacco industry advertising. Voters should be aware of the forces behind this initiative and not be deceived by slick advertising tactics. Proponents of this measure have not publicly debated the issue because their arguments would not hold up against the fact that smoking is proven to cause cancer and smoke-related cancer kills people. Don't be blinded by the smoke-screen. Vote against Proposition 188.

OPINION 9
Thinking Out Loud Kate Nelson
Mud slingin' blues hen (or if) you go to the ballot box Nov. 8, you might be faced with the decision of choosing between the lesser of two evils. Your decision might not even come down towhichcandidateismorequalified,butwhose down-and-dirty campaign commercials stuck in your mind the longest Voters will most likely choose the candidate least splattered with mud. Who do you want representing California in the Senate? The man who allegedly employed an illegal immigrant while he publicly rallied for immigration reform, or the woman who supposedly diverted campaign funds to her husband's company? During an hour ofMonday night television, I counted no less than 20 campaign ads. In some ads, it's impossible to tell which candidate sponsored the commercial because he's too busy slamming his opponent. Dianne Feinstein, for instance, paid for a commercial against opponent Michael Huffmgton which paints him as a Texas oil millionaire who isn't really concerned about California. At the end of the commercial, barely visible at the bottom of the screen is a tiny picture of Feinstein and the words "Paid for by the friends of Dianne Feinstein." Huffmgton is not totally clean in his campaign ads, either. He tears apart Feinstein, then his minuscule identification appears at the end of the ad. Why can't opponents state their names, what position they're running for and why they should be elected? Why must candidates resort to this childish name-calling? Dirty campaigns tell two things about the candidates: 1. The candidate must not think he is qualified for the job, so he must dirty his opponent's image. 2. The candidate feels he must play dirty because his opponent is doing so. Two wrongs don'tmake aright-they make a smear campaign twice as bad. In response, voters can do two things: 1. Vote for the candidate who runs the cleanest campaign. 2. Avoid the major parties who sling all the mud and vote Green, Independent or Libertarian. The only candidate who seems to have run a clean campaign is Dede Alpert. Alpert, who is running for 78th District Assembly, simply says what she will do if she is elected and lists her qualifications. She doesn't accuse her opponent of marital infidelity or illegal drug use, shedoesn'tslingmud. In fact, shedoesn'teven mention her opponent's name. Unfortunately, I live in North County, and I'm not eligible to vote for Alpert. Do yourself a favor before Nov. 8. Learn the issueS and vote for the most qualified candidate, instead of the person with the most mud on his bands.

Do you think the MEChA sponsored debate on Prop. 187 was fair to both sides?
Violent protest buries open forum Daniel Kwan Co- Editor-in-Chief
The MEChA sponsored Proposition 187 debate held Nov. 2 was a virtuous attempt by the organizers to educate and increase public awareness about the different aspects of the "Save Our State" initiative. Being fairly moderated, the debate allowed speakers from each side to present logical arguments and state facts not commonly known to the public. Unfortunately, some participants, most of whom represented the anti-187 camp, had other ideas. Banded together, the activists ruined the entire atmosphere of what was supposed to be an open debate on the issue of
Proposition 187. The trouble with the ''March For Justice" that followed the debate was that it detracted from the topic. It dealt more with respect or a lack of respect. Things like throwing food at opponents and promoting fear and hate through cries of"racism" drew attention away from the debate's original purpose. Other acts of disrespect included overturning trash cans, burning the American flag and beating a man for having an opposing point of view, as well as disrupting classes by marching and chanting loudly around campus. As the march progressed, the unified chants changed, but one has to wonder about the chant, "Hell, no, we won'tgo!"whenmostof
the protestors are either legal citizens or residents. Actually, to the many students trying to concentrate on their classes, they wished the protestors would go anywhere out of ear shot. The sad fact is, the disruptive and violent actions of a few people within the anti-187 crowd only hurt their cause. Believe it or not, the average voter is offended by unlawful actions such as flagburning, vandalism and mob assault Although only a minority of the protesters crossed the lineofdecency, theiractionsreflectpoorlyon the group as a whole. Until the people guilty of the aforementioned actions are willing to give the respect they demand of others, they do not deserve any respect in return.
Letter to the Editor
Hanlen teaches the truth I was appalled to read about the complaintletterfiledagainstProfessorCharles Hanlen in your Friday, October 28th issue. In fact, it became the topic of discussion for a while in my Theatre History class because people were so shocked and upset. Has this world gone utterly crazy? Have we all entered the "Twilight Zone?" I feel I am very sensitive about sexual harassment and being politically correct, but the complaint letter about Hanlen proves that things have spun out of control. Professor Hanlen is teaching history the way it actually happened, and if historical situations in the past offend us today that doesn't mean that we can rewrite history. I'm offended about the past slavery in America, so do you mind if I change the history books to show that slavery never
happened? Fact: Slavery is a sick and nasty thing that white Americans did to black Africans. But I think instead of saying that white Americans brought over black Africans and treated them worse than pigs that maybe we should change the history books to say fiction: white Americans brought over black Africans because we thought it would enhance their culture and give them a better life, and in the process they were so grateful they decided to do slave labor for us in exchange for our generosity. Get my point? Unfortunately, history is not always a pleasant thing to bear about, but history should not be rewritten in more pleasant terms just because some people are offended. In fact, hopefully we will learn from our history so that our past atrocities will not be repeated. History is history and it can not be changed nor should it be sprayed with a pleasant perfume in an effort not to offend someone. We need to accept history as it happened, whether good or bad, and hope that the bad never repeats itself. If the student or students that ftled the
complaint letter against Professor Hanlen are upsetabouthistoricalfacts, then maybe they should move to ''Fantasy Island" so the rest of the world won't hurt their feelings. In fact, if the student or students were upset at Hanlen's statement as quoted in The Telescope on October 28, 1994, "In American Indian culture, prior to the introduction of horses, women and dogs were used as beasts of burden," then they'd better take shelter when Hanlen drops the bomb about how Native American Indians were treated when white people arrived in the Americas. In fact, the Native American Indians are still trying to recover from what white Americans did to their culture. Professor Hanlen deserves an apology for this ridiculous complaint filed against him, and all of the students and faculty should stand behind him. Anything less than that would make this one sad day in the history of Palomar. Kay Hubert Theatre Arts

The car's gas tank is empty, the last Top Ramen has been eaten and pay day was yesterday.Hmm ... wheretogetsomecash? Aha, sell some of those used compact discs. Unlike tapes and records, compact discs can be played repeatedly without ]?eing worn down, this lasting quality has lead to the creation of an entire industry: trading and selling used compact discs. At first only local music stores bought and sold used discs, but national chains like The Wherehouse have recently gotten into the act. Selling used compact discs is a quick way to get some easy money, but not all music stores are created equal. Before blindly skipping to the nearest music store, take a peek at this handy review oflocal stores that buy and trade used compact discs.
The Discs 1. The Beatles - "Abbey Road." The quintessential Beatles classic that sells like the Energizer bunny. It keeps going and going and going and ... 2. Enya- "Shepherd Moons." Possibly the greatest make-out CD of all time. 3."The Bodyguard" - The mega-seller Whitney Houston, er. . .movie soundtrack that topped the Billboard charts. 4. War- "Why Can't We be Friends?"

Madonna tells 'Bedtime Stories' worth listening to â&#x20AC;˘ Her latest album strays from familiar dance pop format Daniel Kwan
CD REVIEW
Co-Editor-in-Chief
In the music business, it's all about survival and maintaining longevity as a recording artist. So, it's no surprise that Madonna openly sings "I'll never be an angel. I'll never be a saint, that's true. I'm too busy surviving, whether it's heaven or hell, I'm gonna be living to tell" in the opening chorus to "Survival," which appears on her new album "Bedtime Stories." And telling about herself is exactly what Madonna does on her seventh studio album. "Survival," the first song on the album, sets the pace for the rest of the album of medium tempo, new-jack swing grooves. Taking a departure from her past albums, Madonna's latest effort only contains a couple readily catchy pop songs fans have come to expect from her. For the most part, Madonna has given up on the fast, catchy dance song format on this latest album.
Madonna "Bedtime Stories" Maverick I Sire Records
***' The results, however, seem less than spectacular after listening to the 11 tracks the first time through, but, with each additional listening, Madonna's musical appeal entices the listener once more. The songs on "Bedtime Stories" are either ballads or midtempo pop/dance songs with the R&B-influenced new jack groove, which emphasize a wide-loop bass beat instead of the tight, fast-paced beat on most of her previous dance songs. Her last album, "Erotica" was an open statement about sexuality, but on this album she shuns her critics on "H urn anNature" with
lyrics like "You punished me for telling you my fantasies ... Did I say something true? Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex. Did I have a point of view? Oops, I didn't know I was talking about you." Even the song "Don't Stop" pales in comparison to the dance floor anthem and Madonna classic "Into the Groove." "Don't Stop" becomes extremely mundane after the fifth repetition of the chorus: "Don't stop doin' what you're doin' baby .. . keep on movin', keep groovin' ." The album, however, is still worth the purchase price just to have the album's first hit single "Secret." The song opens with Madonna singing the first few verses to the sound of an acoustic guitar before the first thump of the medium-tempo bass beat carries the rest of the song. Although the song never reveals her "Secret," it does reveal hints about Madonna's own selfempowerment and spirituality. It sounds like a cliche to say Madonna saves the best for last, but on this album,
Dropping out pays off big for 'Clerks' director l(evin Smith Kevin Sweeney College Press Service
"Clerks," a cuttingly funny movie about the eccentricities and low expectations of two "cash register jockeys" toiling away in aNew Jersey convenience store, was made dirt-cheap by a film school dropout Kevin Smith, 23, who deciJied there were better ways to spend his tuition money-by, say, financing his own movie. Filmed for $25, 575 over 21 nights at a New Jersey convenience store, "Clerks" tracks a single, lousy day in the life of Dante, Smith's long-suffering convenience store cashier. During the day, Dante finds himself pelted with cigarettes by an irate customer, fends off an old geezer who insists on using the employee restroom and tries, without success, to comprehend his girlfriend and her latest explicit sexual revelations. Meanwhile, Randal, Dante's slacker buddy, works in the adjoining video store, whereheregularl y insults customers' movie tastes. Inspiration for the film came when Smith was trying out a sue-
cession of colleges while working on and off at Quick Stop Groceries in his hometown of Highlands, N.J. He lasted four months at Vancouver Film School before collecting the balance of his tuition and heading home to start "Clerks," along with fellow disillusioned alums Scott Mosier (producer) and David Klein (director of photography). Smith says he bas no regrets about blowing off school to make his lowbudgetepic. "Film school was great for meeting like-minded individuals, but other than that it's mostly unnecessary." Mosier echoes Smith's attitude. "Film school's just a really expensive place to learn a minimal amount ofknowledge," says Mosier. "Like, I didn't pay much attention in sound class. I think I could have grasped how to use the machine in like two days-and I did all the sound work on 'Clerks.' You can learn editing in a week; the camera in two or three weeks. So you ask yourself, 'Why am I in film school for eight months?'" "Maybe a month of instruction, OK, but then they should give you
the camera and j ustlet you go," says Smith. Lucky for Smith, his "just-do-it" attitude was rewarded by the national release of his fust feature film. "If 'Clerks' bad never sold, of course I'd be paying that $25,000 off myself," he acknowledges. "I figured, even if this movie tanks, it's my fllm school. I'm paying to do it my way." To make his own breaks, Smith scrabbled together money where he could, such as selling off his prized comic book collection for $3,000. After a December 1992 flood in Highlands, the Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursement Smith received for a wrecked auto went into the "Clerks" piggy bank. "Clerks" was filmed over 21 nights at Quick Stop after the store closed. Smith and the crew edited in the store and usually crashed there to save time. "This isn't just a movie for slacker guys, or people in their 20s. It's for anyone whose ever had a crappy job. Everybody can relate."
she certainly does with the quiet storm ballad "Take a Bow.". As with most Madonna ballads, listeners will appreciate the song's simple arrangement being complemented by Madonna's ever-sweet vocals. She has survived most of the scrutiny by the press and public, and it's satisfying to see that with "Bedtime Stories," Madonna hasn't lost her ability to record songs with rhythm and radiance.

New arts center is open, will offer students educational opportunities Diana Hooper Staff Writer
California Center for the Arts, Escondido opened with three inaugural ceremonies which marked the beginnings of an alliance of art and education with Palomar College. "Art is a part of our daily lives and the center is another way we can come together as human beings and learn something from our different cultural backgrounds," said Leah Goodwin, Administrative Director of Education for the CCAE. "We can then move forward torespect each other with the correct and proper attitude." Palomarartinstructor Harry Bliss agreed that the center would generate local and outside interest. "There's a lot more people iliterested in art than some of the people
who aren't interested in art would presume, for example, painting is the major hobby in the United States, " said Bliss. "We already have the surf, golf, animal parks-the art center will be another added attraction." "People don't build art centers like this with theater, fme arts, performances and education all together," said Goodwin. "It was a visionary idea on the part of Escondido, choosing to build this instead of a sports center for example." Goodwin added that not only is the center in Palomar's back yard but the center has a partnership with Palomar giving both students and educators access to the center. Palomar College President I Superintendant Dr. George Boggs
is co-chairman on the Education Advisory Committee of CCAE. Boggs explained that some of Palomar's tax money went into the redevelopment funds which financed the center. "One of the reasons why we're able to use the facilities is that Palomar and other schools in the area are tax share partners with the CCAE," said Boggs. CCAE has already established several seminar classes with Palomar College to teach adult students about modem musicals and backstage technology. Susan Tillotson of CCAE' s marketing department said that the center will be offering a 50% ticket reduction to Palomar students with a current ID for select performances coming up at the end of '94.

SPORTS Football wins big against San Diego Mesa Chris Gleason Sports Editor
Palomar's football team scored touchdowns on all four of its second-quarter possessions in a 42-34 victory over the visiting San Diego Mesa Olympians on Oct. 29. The victory brings the Comets' record to 4-3 (3-3 conference, 2-2 division) for tie for third place in the Northern Division with Cerritos. Palomar spent most of the first half either tied with Mesa or down by a touch down before taking their first lead late in the half, 21-20. The one-point difference came when one of Mesa's extra point kicks was deflected and sailed wide left. The Comets then extended their lead to 35-20 before Mesa scored another touchdown a third of the way through the fourth quarter. "When we came into this game, the defense wanted a shutout," said Comet linebacker Jimmy Burke. "We didn't get the shutout. .. so we stepped (the intensity level) up the second half. We haven't lost to Mesa in 11 years and we didn't want to be the team that broke the streak." Two plays were crucial to Palomar' s 28point explosion. The frrst was a 72-yard kickoff return by wide receiver Chris Baker that set up a 1-yard TD run by running back DeSalle Wallace and the second was a bonejarring hit on Mesa quarterback Aaron Buckner by Jimmy Burke late in the second quarter. The hit came on an Oly fourth-and-six play just as Buckner released the ball for an incompletion, giving the Comets the ball. "(The play) was a blitz inside, called a
a
'smash,"' said Burke. "No one picked me up (in coverage) and I just unloaded on him." Burke actually unloaded to the point that Buckner visibly wobbled while leaving the field after the play. Palomar quarterback Gregg Wilbur took control of the game from the start, passing for 420 yards and completing 30 of 39 with only one interception. The interception came on the Comets' initial possession, but resulted in nothing more than a Mesa punt. Of his 30 completions, nine went to wide receiver Chris Baker, including a 59-yarder to Baker for the Comets' last TD of the game.

Palomar wrestling defeats Cerritos • Grapplers earn trip to State Dual Championships Jeremy Lynch Staff Writer
After finishing second to Cerritos on Oct. 29 in the Southern California Dual Meet Championships, Palomar's wrestling team had something to prove. Palomar reestablished its position with a 25-18 victory. With the team score 22-18, Cerritos needed a shutout to tie, or a pin to win the meet. When Palomar's Daudi Wakegijig scored a takedown with one minute and 25 seconds left in the frrst period, Cerritos' Adimu Maoyun was in a ''must pin" situation. Since Cerritos could only pick up three team points in an overtime, Wakegijig's 8-8 tie clinched the vic-
tory and a conference title for the Comets. With both teams coming into the match unbeaten in the South Coast Conference play, the match took on even greater importance because the winner clinched the conference title. Palomar's performance was highlighted by Chris Wright, wrestling in ahigherweightclass, upsetting the state's second ranked 134pound wrestler, David Gayer with a pin in the frrst round. In another shocker, Palomar's Ernesto Espinoza wrestled up a weight class and still managed to defeat the number one ranked 150pound wrestler in the state, Rudolph James, 7-0. Jake Roberts, the Comets 118-
pounder, opened the meet with a 12-8 victory over Cerritos' Brian Gilliland. Despite his victory, he expressed disappointment after the match. "I felt dead," Roberts said. "I could have wrestled better." Already leading 12-0, Palomar's Jesse Mindlin contributed three more to that total with a 6-4 victory over Juan Alvarez, the state's flfth ranked wrestler at that weight. Early in the frrst round, James asked for an injury time-out. The referee was forced to stop the match several times because of apparent injuries-to James' knee. Espinoza attributed Palomar's performance Wednesday night to the fact that they have been working

The lower weight classes proved to be the difference for the Comets. After Espinoza's shutout of James, and another victory by 158-pound Craig Welk, the Comet lead was 22-0. The match in the 167-pound division lasted all of one minute and
23 seconds. Cerritos' Rick Carreon proved to be very deserving of his number three state ranking by making quick work of Palomar's Jerry Dicenzo.
