Eric Runningpath, a Navajo member of the Eagle Talon Dancers, performs a bibute to the Bald Eagle. The dance group was a part of this year's Martin Luther King Dream Day celebrations at Palomar's main campus.

"Building The Dream" was the motto for Palomar's Dream Day '95, which was pronounced a success by organizers and participants in spite of a smaller turnout than hoped.

The main event was held Jan. 28 and included several speakers, workshops, international entertainment, food and crafts from Arizona to Zaire.

The highlight of the celebration was the Saturday fair on campus where, despite several cancellations by lecturers and entertainers, most attendees managed to have a good time. Student Jenny Ehn enjoyed the fair and called the atmosphere "relaxed." ''I'm very happy that there are so many different international things here today," said student Deseree Gardener, refernng to the multifarious arra) o f booths and entertainments. Colorful clothing, scented lils, interesting gadgets, books, boxes and bags of all sorts from near and far had patrons pulling out their wallets time and time again.

The small turnout was, however, a disappointment to some of the vendors who sold their merchandise at the fair.

"I definitely won't participate in the next one," said sculptor Dave Richards, who claimed he was misled by the letter he received concerning Dream Day A center stage held most of the action Saturday with such diverse acts as a magic show, a customized bicycle show and the Children's International Choir. Several dance troupes performed traditional Native American, African and Guatemalan dances.

Faculty receives raise after four-year wait • 2.2 percent increase approved Kate Nelson News Editor

After the Faculty Salary Task Force worked for more than four months with the administration, the Governing Board has granted the faculty a 2.2 percent salary increase as of Jan. 17.

Classified staff munhers also received salary increases hascd upon how long they had been employed by the college.

The salary increase is retroactive to July I, 1994, meaning that faculty and classified staff members will receive a raise on their salaries going back to July I, 1994. The increase was made possible after funds were reallocated or redirected from other sources. "We're not cutting back on any services, we're not culling back on any expenditures.

It's just a matter of reallocating," said Bonnie Dowd , president of the faculty.

Members of the Faculty Senate said they were satisfied with the increase, but that the task force, which consists of representatives of the faculty and classified staff, would remain in place, and they would continue to look for more funds to put in a "piggy bank" so they can have another increase in the future.

Faculty Senate members said they were satisfied with the increase, and they were satisfied with how the Senate had worked with the administration in an amicable way.

"It's a beginning. Probably more than being happy about the raise, I'm happy about the process that achieved the raise. It was a collegial effort," said Doug Key, a member of the Faculty Senate.

Dowd said that the increase makes the faculty a main concern of the district. She said, "In the direction we're going, we're becoming aware of the need to put the human

Dowd said her biggest complaint about not receiving a salary increase in four years was that the cost of living had gone up. but the faculty members salaries had remained the same. "The cost of living has gone

up in the last four years ... we're making less money than we were four years ago," said Dowd. "The 2.2 percent obviously doesn't make anyone in the district anywhere close to what the cost of living change has been , but it's better than nothing."'

Rewards in home brewing outweigh the inconveniences SANTA BARBARA - If you want something done right, do it yourself. Such is the attitude of home beer brewers, those liquid pioneers looking for an alternative to today ' s mass-produced beverages.

Michael Sterba, an undeclared sophomore at the University ofCalifornia-Santa Barbara, began homebrewing as an attempt to match some of the more expensive import and microbrewery beers available in stores , he said.

Like Sterba, many arc attracted to the thrill of creating something unique, according to Mark Stevens, co-author of "Homebrew Favorites."

"Homebrewing gives you the chance to r:y biza combinations. Like adding fruit, chocolate, spices, grains, coffee, tea or other things that a commercial brewer is not likely to want to risk on the scale of

hundreds or thousands of barrels.

A single batch of homebrewed beer requires about three weeks of preparation, though longer periods of time may be required depending on the type of beer produced, according to Rafael Maldonado, who has been selling homebrcwing supplies out of his California home for about 15 years.

The brewing process requires the boiling of malt and hops, which determine the character of the beverage, for about one hour. After a cool-down period, yeast is added, which will ferment and produce the beer's alcohol. This part of the process can take anywhere from three days to a month, depending on the type of beer desired and the temperature at which the fermentation takes place, according to Maldonado.

After removal of the sediment produced by the yeast, priming sugars are added to

produce the carbonation, and the beer is bottled. After approximately two weeks, the beer is sufficiently carbonated for drinking.

Sterba finds homebrewed beer more enjoyable than the store-bought version because of the quality and effort he puts into it.

"When you make homebrews you find the stuff so precious, you don't want to drink it too quickly," he said. "It's not exactly your party beverage because you just want to kick back and enjoy it."

He believes despite the time, sacrifice and hard work, homebrewing pays ofT in the end.

"Because of the effort you put into it, no matter what you make, it tastes like the nectar of the gods to you," he said.

The celebration began earlier in the week with the opening of the exhibit "Different Spaces," now on display at the San Marcos City Hall.

The exhibit features sculptures by several distinguished artists. Contemporary jazz musician Hollis Gentry performed for a small audience at the Howard Brubeck Theater on campus Friday night.

Treva Jackson , co-sponsor and organizer for the event, said that she was happy with the turnout although it was smaller than she had anticipated. Jackson also noted that next year, there will be more advertising, a high-level publicity campaign and there will hopefully be more types of entertainment allowed by holding the event in one of the campus parking lots. Information on the cost of the event was not available at press time.

Jazz musician H9llis Gentry plays Palomar Carla Mays Sw[{Wrirer

The Howard Brubeck Theatre was rocked by the funky, rhythmic sounds of soulful R&B, rock, and blues fusion style of contemporary jazz; performed by saxophonist Hollis Gentry Jan. 27. The concert was a part of the "Dream Day" extravaganza.

Despite the low turn out, Gentry and his band played as if they were playing to their normally large crowd. Gentry is a brilliant leader who plays with beauty and a notable casual style which has become his signature. He created a high energy concert that turned concert-goers, including Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs, into "funkified cat dad. dies."

Gentry has been on. the San Diego jazz scene for more than 20 years. He began his career at Fccfcrral Junior High School. "I was lucky to have a music teacher who was a jazzhead and wrote jazz. Then I went to award-winningCrawfordHighSchool, where I started playing professional."

Just before intermission, he began to talk about Dr. King 's "Dream" and how it relates children and parents' dreams for their children. "It's important that our children do better than we have

done and I am very proud of my daughter Tara," Gentry said. Then the band played a beautiful Latin song, written by Gentry for Tara called "Samba For Tara."

After the concert he told what Dr. King's "Dream" held for him: "We areal I in it together and we all arc equal. We have to put aside our little prejudices about skin color, and I think that my band is a representation of what the man had in mind," referring to his band that had a combination of a black bassist, and two whites, a keyboardist and drummer.

"I teach my children this and I live this way also. Lately, I have been a little bothered by this resurgence in this rejuvenated '6os afrocentic behavior, due to peer pressure. In the South I have sadly seen a lot of voluntary segregation by blacks, which is to me a step backwards. We worked so hard in the '60s and '70s against this ; now kids arc asking to be separated and wanting their own graduating ceremonies, etc."

The concert featured vocalist Margarita Page, who Gentry met while in high school. Page bought the theater to its knees with her title cut from her first CD "My Star," which was written and produced by Gentry.

ASG begins term with vacant seats Jeff Vize Staff Writer

Enco uraged by new faces and a successful w in ter retreat, the Associated Student Governm ent returned to session last week onl y to be met by the return of personal conflicts.

Despite w hat Pres ident Merrill Tyler has call ed a "good wo rk ing re latio n" amo ng members, roadblocks, led by res ignati ons and a gri evance threate ned by Treas urer Sharo n Hubbard, have left m any questi ons of unity un answered.

A long with th e res ignati o n of Senator Les Hubbard , the Feb. I meetin g bro ught the loss of Senators Di ana Devereaux and Cecili a DeLeo n. Devereaux resigned earlier thi s week fo r personal reasons, and DeLeon was impeached for mi ss ing three consecuti ve meetin gs with unexcused absences, which is a violation of AS G by laws .

W ith Senator Rod Wadds' res ignation on Ja n. 25 for personal reasons, the board momentaril y sat with five vacant senator seats. A lthough two new senators, Cody Lutsch and Chris Wheat, were sworn in on Feb .

I , three vacancies remain.

Devereaux and DeLeon were not on campus this week and could not be reached for comment. Wadds, however, had posit ive words for the ASG upon his departure. ·'I am grateful for the experiences that [the ASG] has given me , the advice, the interacti on among them all ,'"stated Wadds in his resignation letter. '·[ wish [them I a happy and producti ve nc\\ year."

The grievance, which was threatened against Tyler at the Jan. 25 meeting by Sharo n Hubbard, was concerning the legality of the meeting on Jan. 18, five days before school began .

The threat followed a dispute concerning the unexcused absences of Sharon Hubbard and her husband. Les Hubbard at the board's Jan. 18 meeting. Both were working at the Phone-and-Adjustment

Registrati on (PAR)centerdurin g the mee tin g a nd we re m a rk ed as un excused.

According to Ty ler, the issue of the un exc used absences is e ntire ly a n iss ue o f p ri ncip le fo r th e Hubbards. "Their logic is they were servin g stud e nts, th erefore they should be e xcused . Under the circums tances, the ir absence cannot be exc used. " " Between work and c lasses and gettin g the grades [Les Hubbard] j ust does n' t have the time to put into ASG ," said T yler. "In his words and my words, school is top priority."

In hi s resignati on letter, Hubbard did not me ntion th e unexc used absence rulin g as his reason for leaving the ASG . " Our j ob is to help the students of thi s co llege. I was doing that. For me to be m arked absent ... is totall y wrong," said Senator Hubbard. " All the meetin g was about was bylaw changes, which is ridi cul ous anyway."

An appeal to excuse the absences, req uiring a two-third s vo te, was turned down by the ASG .

"We can c lose up thi s meet in g right now and every week fo r the res t of the semester and go out and help the stu dents and since that's our job we can be absent at every meeting," said Tyler. "Everybody knew for a month or more that there would be a meeting on the 18th."

Tyler downplaycd the poten tial for trouble this semester in the ASG, howe\ cr, regardless of personal conflic ts.

"Wc ' vegotagood working relation and a good group of people ... it looks like everything ' s going to fly," said Tyler. "We're a! ways going to have some personal contlicts. I' m going to try to keep them in order a lillie bit bellcr this year."

In order to be considered for the vaca nt senatorial pos itions, students must be current ly en rol led in seven units and becarryingacollegeGPA. Applications are ava ilable in the ASG office in SU-7 .

Palomar College was well represented at Super Bowl XXIX by Charger Cheerleaders and Palomar students, Jamie Rich and Shelby Christman.

Friends since attending Rancho Bernardo High School together, these young women cheered on the Chargers in Miami Jan. 29 as firstyear San Diego Charger Cheerleaders.

Their reaction to the experience was one of excitement and disbelief.

"It felt like a dream," Rich said.

"It was the best feeling of my life."

After the Chargers defeated Pittsburgh to win the 1994 AFC Championship, Christman said she was excited for several minutes, then she went into shock. " It didn ' t click for two to three day ,"Christman said. Both cheerleaders recounted the excitement of the event and the knowledge that "the whole world was watching."

The cheerleaders left Thursday prior to the big game for what they characterized as four days of fun and hard work days in Miami.

They were kept busy practicing for at least four hours or more in addition to participating in promotions, such as the Bud Bowl, where they saw the music groups Cheap Trick and Boys II Men at the Miami Convention Center.

Rich said that she was proud that the Charger Girls were voted by ABC as the "Best Cheerleaders in the NFL." They shared the same

dressing room with the' 49ers Gold Rush Cheerleaders and visited the Hard Rock Cafe with them.

According to Christman, it takes hard work and dedication to be a San Diego Charger Cheerleader. It is anticipated that at least300 to 500 young women will try out for the 1995 team held sometime in spring.

There are only 26 positions to fill.

Christman, selected by a local radio station as their"favoritecheerleader," said that she most definitely will try out again, however,

she said, "It's going to be tough."

The cheerleaders have to be able to learn 30 different dances and routines, be physically fit, prepared to practice several times a week and keep a very open calender.

There is little chance for rest since Rich and Christman continue with end-of-year party promotions and charity events all the way until tryouts. Both Rich and Christman said they love the San Diego fans who display great energy. "It brought San Diego together."

Faculty Senate Pres iden t Margie Ru zich said that the Fac ulty Senate had made the salary increase the agenda for the 1994-95 schoo l year, and they were pleased at how the

Faculty Senate and the administration had worked together.

S u peri n te nden t/Pres ide n t George Boggs said that the Governing Board did not want to give the faculty and classified staff the increase out of one-time money, which would put the district in financial jeopardy, because it would have to allow for the increase every year in the budget.

Boggs said mo ney was taken from the continu ing budget which was to be used for bui ld ing main tena nce and equipment a nd was moved to the one-time money to make the salary increase possible.

Boggs also said he was d isappoin ted that Govern or Pete Wi lson

vetoed State Assembly Bill 3474, which would have made up for property tax shortfalls incurred by the community college system. Boggs said the State Finance department overestimated the property tax revenue last year, and the revenue fell short. Palomar lost $1.2 million last year because of property tax short-

falls . "[The veto] showed to me that it wasn ' t important [for the state] to protect us from property tax shortfalls," said Boggs. Wilson has proposed a backfill, where the state would give the college system back half of the losses incurred from property tax shortfalls.

Boggs said that in the last four

years the cost of living has gone up II percent, and Wilson's proposed Cost ofLiving Adjustment [COLA] grant would alleviate only 2.2 percent of that loss. Boggs said that it's a good sign that Wilson is proposing the grant, but "It's still not enough but it's nice to see that we're maybe getting something."

The Comet Center for the Prevention of Alcohol and Drug Abuse played host Jan . 29 to the second annual Super Bowl party in the Student Union .

"The focus for us was to be here to party without alcohol ," said cocordinator Beth Post. "We realize [that there is] a close tie between alcohol, football and domestic violence," she added An estimated 150-200 people attended the party . Students were encouraged to bring their families to the event.

"This would be a great place for students to meet and socialize," Post said, adding, "there is a huge percentage [of students who] have children and it is especially hard for single parents to meet other students."

For children who were bored, there was a ro o m filled with children 's activities along with arts

and crafts, in which they could occupy themse lves while their parents enjoyed the game. The room was organized and run by student volunteer Melinda Lafevers, with the help of volunteers and a few parents.

Most of the materials were donated

by Lafevers .

The party, which cost an estimated $1 ,000, included 300 assorted sodas, 150 hotdogs (with fixings), 12 gallons of chili , six cakes, nacho chips (with cheese and salsa dips), pretzels, apple pies and coffee. Food was paid for by the Center and prepared by Palomar Food Service's Pat Berrett who was assisted by Center volunteers.

During the commercials, prizes were given out to those who participated and won various contests such as, dancing, smashing soda cans and singing. Prizes were also won by raffle. Prizes included Charger T-shirts, Palomar bookstore gift certificates, pet store gift certificates, and little yellow Charger footballs .

ing the party but served as an enticement for students to stay at this party versus leaving and attending a party where alcohol would be present.

Post said , "We wanted to target young males who are at risk for drinking and driving ."

The pet store gift certificates were donated while all other prizes were paid for by the Comet Center. The five TVs for watching the game were donated by the college, however, the big screen TV had to be rented from at an estimated cost of $400. Cable was donated by a local cable service.

"We surveyed people last year and asked 'how can we make it better this year?' We hope everyone had fun," said Beth.

The event was organized by Alcohol and Drug Prevention worker Mike Russell with the help of several volunteers. The number of vol unteers were not available at press time but there were approximately 30 present at the party .

FEATURE DOWD GIVES 110°/b DAY IN, DAY OUT • Bonnie Ann Dowd, faculty president & business professor, is a welcome campus presence Brannon Wait ContrtbutillR Wnter

Every day begins for the new Faculty President, professor Bonnie Ann Dowd. The telephone rings at 5:45a.m. as the sun begins its earlymorning ascent. Dowd had been on the phone helping a student the night before until I 2:30a.m.

By 7 o'clock, Chardoney, Dowd's colorful and ever playful calico cat, sits in her lap as Dowd eats a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats, which she prefers frosted side up.

Dowd is flipping through Time and listening to the day's news on "Good Morning America." Before heading out the door, she checks for any messages concerning "Theatre Goers," her private theater event business.

"I've been the type that does everything I I 0 percent. I give it everything that I've got. I care very deeply about everything I'm involved in," Dowd says." I don't do anything halfway. So wherever I've worked, or wherever I've been, if there's a job to be done, I get involved," she continues.

An everyday phenomenon, this cluster of students and business entrepreneurs waiting with questions ranging from accounting homework to ~mall business ventures to the Business Club, Phi Beta Lambda, greets the smiling 5 foot, 3 inch Dowd. "I think a lot of people on this campus don't realize that I'm an accountant because of my involvement with advertising, salesmanship, the General Motors Internship (GMI), and small business management classes," says Dowd.

Brooks Martin, who is taking her second accounting class with Dowd, "I look up to her a lot. Even on a personal note: if I ever need advice, she takes time for me. She's willing

to make time for everyone. Truthfully, if there is anybody I'd like to be, it would be Bonnie Dowd," confides Martin.

Meanwhile, back inside her small, student-packed office, Dowd is finished counseling an entrepreneur over the phone. In response to Martin's remarks, she replies almost tearfully, "It's humbling because all that I do is because I care.

It is because I understand the value of education that I want to be one of the many that turns a student on, not one of the few that turns them off," confesses Dowd.

As she walks over to her 9:30 a.m. advertising class, she bumps into another faculty senate member who asks a quick question about the Board of Governors' meeting the previous Tuesday. "I want to help the college grow. I came here (Palomar) to be here for twenty years. So, with that in mind, I'm going to do whatever I can to make it a better place," Dowd explains, in reference to her involvement in the faculty senate and recent appointment as the faculty president. "I just decided it was time that I got involved," she added. Dowd was previously the faculty vice-president, and is now taking over for retiring president, Frank Hankin.

Getting involved is something Dowd certain Iy does-it has almost become a cliche. During the advertising class, the students arc brainstorming on ideas for a new infomercial for Palomar's extension campuses. Last spring, Dowd's advertising class developed a similar info-mercial for the business department. ''I'm the unusual accounting-finance person because, although I have a great love for accounting, and have my primary experience in that ·Jeft-brained' discipline, there's a lot in me that en-

joys the 'right brained' creativity of my advertising, salesmenship, and GMI classes." She continues joking, "I recently got my certification as a managerial accountant (C. M.A.) just to prove to myself that I was still an accountant; but seriously, I love teaching advertising because of all the creative energy."

Her love for the creative side led Dowd to author the instructor's manual for the nation's number-one college advertising textbook, Contemporary Advertising.

Her award-winning group earned $2,500 for the business department.

In coordination with the Bay-area agency, SGRO Promo Associates, the class created and implemented a one-of-a-kind promotional campaign, "Finney's Adventure Land," for local dealer Jim Finney GMC Truck.

SGRO Associate, Jeff Barker, comments, "You know, you don't go into teaching for the money or the vacations; you go into teaching to reach out to students. She makes herself available on a personal level and incites them to be the best they can be,an attribute that aided this group in winning first-place."

Education and business go hand-in-hand and I try to incorporate that into my classroom."

"Students seem to enjoy the stories I tell and when I talk about something that has really happened to me because they arc a vignette of what really happens in the business world that adds anotherdimension to the classroom," continues Dowd.

"But I can'tjust stand up there and tell stories; if I'm just telling stories, I'm not teaching, I'm sharing experiences. That's why I have my managerial accounting classes do two 'ethics papers,' to get them to think through the real-world consequences of their actions. I try to find the perfect mix between practical and theoretical approaches," she adds.

One of her accounting students proclaimed that "having a course with Bonnie Dowd is like having 5 or I 0 minutes with a guest speaker in every class."

Dowd confesses,"{ get very upset if someone doesn't do well because I know that sometimes the reason thedidn 't do as well ortry as hard is due to all of the other things going on in their lives. There's an old saying: 'If you feed a man a fish, he eats for a day; but if you teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime.' That's always been my mentality, both as a supervisor and as an instructor.

"Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I can't reach everybody.

But try to make people know that

I do care," she adds, as she encounters the 12:20 p.m. gathering at the door to her office. It is her lunchtime office hour and the room is jam-packed with accounting students utilizing check-figures.

The resource center was the brainchild ofDowd and first opened its doors last October. According to June Rady, assistant director of the Escondido Campus, "entrepreneurs are trying to start up their businesses, and that's exactly what she [Dowd] addresses. They [The City of Escondido] were delighted that the college decided to open this center. Frankly, I think it has been a win-win situation for Palomar College and the City of Escondido.

"Bonnie, uf course, is so energetic .. .! think that her expertise plus her enthusiasm and the way she can stipulate people is just so beneficial to us," Rady continued. "Bonnie is very professional... I can see how her students can relate to her very well. .. we're really pleased to have her here, and I think she is beneficial, not only to the college, but to the community at large," Rady added.

In response, Dowd says, "I've always been committed to small businesses. My parents had their own business, so I grew up around business." Dowd is very active with the U.S. Small Business Administration and was recently awarded the S.B.A.' s San Diego District Accountant Advocate of the Year. I think that my role is just part of the group. I try to bring into the group whatever skills I possess and experiences I've had ... basically, each one of us [in the business department] is playing a big role in training students for the real world."

How does Dowd keep going?

"Maybe I should get some counseling. Actually, to be honest, my mind is so driven that my body just gets forced to come along for the ride.

I'm very dedicated to what I'm doing. For me, the sky is the limit and that's how I approach life."

OPINION 0. J• •• Is the media coverage fair~ • The public has a right to know

• It's an issue of responsibility

Kate Nelson

Barbra Dijak

Neu·s Editor

Staff Wnter

Now, a crash course in avoiding all news of the 0. J. Simpson case: I) Do not watch TV. 2) Do not read the newspaper.

3) Do not read magazines.

4) Give away all your valuable possessions and go live in a cave.

News about the Simpson case is everywhere you look: the checkout I ine at the supermarket, the office, department stores.

Everywhere people congregate the topic of conversation turns to what may develop into the trial of the century.

Far outnumbering those who watch the trial religiously are those who switch off the TV in disgust when another story about the trial comes on.

Regardless of the public's view oft he trial, the media is doing an excellent job of covering it. With only one camera allowed in the courtroom, each channel has to usc the same footage . However, the stations have distinguished thcmsel ves by uti I izing legal experts, to translate the legalese into English.

During jury selection, only one print reporter was allowed in the courtroom, and at the end of each day she had to give a press conference for her fellow reporters. Now every major newspaper, magazine and wire service has reporters in the courtroom. The print media adds a depth to trial accounts which is impossible for TV reports .

Besides the legal right to cover the trial secured by the First Amendment, the media also has a journalistic obligation to cover the trial. The 0. J. Simpson case is the type of story that comes along once in a reporter's lifetime. Not to cover it would be ludicrous; it's very newsworthy . Simpson is a celebrity, so people are interested in what he does, or in this case, what he allegedly did. The media is simply giving the public what it wants.

If a TV viewer is sick of watching 0. J. coverage, there are a few simple ways to avoid it: Change the channel on the TV. Reading a newspaper is even easier; just skip all the articles about 0. J. The same can be done for magazines. An even better suggestion: read a book instead,justas long as it isn't "I Want To Tell You" by 0. J. Simpson or "Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private Diary of a Life Interrupted" by Faye Resnick. Oh yeah, and cancel your subscription to the National Enquirer .

The 0. J. Simpson murder trial has been over publicized by the media.

Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman, the victims in this double murder have hardly been mentioned while Mr. Simpson has been on almost every magazine cover and in every newspaper and newscast since he became the prime suspect in this crime.

He is, however, hardly "serving time." He wrote a book, has done several interviews, sees family and friends almost daily and, worse yet, a television drama has been made about the case and his time behind bars.

Why are we rewarding such violence?

Even if Simpson is innocent, the real killer could be out in the world marvelling at all the attention his or her crime has received. This is unfair to the families of the victims and to the jurors and members of the court who arc supposed to remain impartial. The innocence or guilt of this man is not for the media to decide' Jurors are told to avoid any outside information concerning the trial, but how can they do that when everyone is talking about it and being confronted by it from the media? And why is this true? Because 0. J. Simpson is a football star/sportscaster and a hero to many.

But if this were any other double murder, the facts of the case would not be so widely known to the public, and the trial most likely would not be televised.

We've been told too much. 0. J. cannot possibly get a fair trial. If this type of media coverage continues, justice will not prevail.

0. J. and Nicole Simpson's private lives have been spread all over the world. 0. 1.

Simpson has been accused of being an abusive husband, a violent man, but also has been known as a loving father to his children and a loving son to his mother. However, we will never really know what transpired on that fateful night.

It is said that "the public has a right to know," but do we really? Just because the people involved happened to be famous is it right that their pain be exploited? The Simpsons were a divorced couple with children that do not need to have their lives destroyed by the media. Two people are dead, three families are changed forever, and it is time that the media remembers that. The media has no right to profit from other people's pain.

Word to the Vize

II

~T\C

PAJITY

Jeff Vize

It's galla be us against THEM! First off, I want to let you know that if you arc still around to read this I'm glad.

No, it's not that I'm glad you can read or even that you read me. I'm happy because of the fact that you arc still in school on Feb. 3, and knowing this, you're almost certainly not one of THEM. "THEM," in case you're wondering, is the group of students that organize about twice per calendar year in order to complicate the lives of the rest of us. The word THEM is derived from the full name for the organization known as "Those Half-arscd studEnts (that make our Iives) Miserable." They arc a nation- wide group and their objective is to interfere with the education of the rest of the student population by infiltrating our colleges and universities and pretending to be students. The traditional meeting times are usually selected portions of August and January, but only for about two weeks. Beyond this, little else is .known about the group, but the problem they bring with them is severe.

O.K., before we get too far into this, I admit that maybe "officially" they don't exist and they probably aren't so organized. But this doesn't detract from the harm they do. These people exist and deep down inside, they know who they are. They're the people that force you to park at 7-11 because they take up all the spots at school. They're the "drops .. " Please, don't be led to believe I am overstating the problem. It wouldn't be so bad if parking was the only iss.ue, but unfortunately , it goes far beyond that. There's the very pertinent issues of: clogging up the PAR system, slowing down registration lines, and using up the toiletries in campus restrooms-hey, who do you think pays for that?

Aside from the beginning of the semester havoc they wreck, a lastin'g mark is left on the campus throughout the semester-even after they're gone. By interfering with the real students, dozens of classes are unnecessarily closed.

It's disheartening trying to crash a class and then getting kicked out because your walk from the 7-11 lot causes you to be a bit late.

What really completes the experience of being booted like this, however, is passing by the class during finals and watching as the three people left from the original class of over 50 take the exam.

In short, it could be said that overall the only defense is to fend for yourself. The drops will always be here, but hopefully we won't.

Until then, the best advice is to get here before 5 a.m. for parking, pay off those at the front of the registration line, and always take I 0-1 odds on the ugly kid sitting in the second row.

What do you think about the coverage of the 0. J. Simpson case?

Staff Editorial

Take the effort to honor Dr. King Palomar's "Dream Day" celebration that capped the first week of school was a great remindcrofDr. King and his important work, bringing together many cultures for a three-day salute to his efforts.

Dream Day was both informative and entertaining and was definitely a model for future events. The gallery opening, jazz concert, children's entertainment,

regional perfonners, magic act, foods, information booths and workshops had something for everyone.

What should have been a huge turnout , however, was instead a huge disappointment.

Those that made the effort to come on Saturday enjoyed the event and had only good things to say. Perhaps if the event had been held during the week, or not during the first

week of school, more would have come.

Better advertising would have helped also.

It is a shame that more students were not able to take advantage of the rich offerings of Dream Day '95. These are the kind of events we, as members of a community college, need to attend. It is only through conscious effort that we can make Dr. King's dream come true.

ENTERTAINMENT â&#x20AC;˘ With a new movie and book the Jerky Boys have a lot to talk about. So, here it is, tough guy.

Peter Sansom Enterlllilllllent Edi to r

To the uninitiated, The Jerky Boys arc hard to explain. Finding words to co nvey the maniacal laughter that their bizarre(and often obscene) phone calls inspire is an exercise in frustration.

Letting Johnny Brennan , the tough guy half of the Jerky Boys, explain people ' s responses to their prank calls should shed some light on the jerky.

"Most people tell us that they don ' tjust laugh when they hear the tape, they literally piss themselves ," said Brennan. " Howard Stern himsci f. .. he said he never laughed so hard in his life , he had to pull of the road. He was bl owing snots out o f his nose. " That is the Jerky B oys .

The Real Jerky Starting as an underground snicker in 1986, The Jerky Boys sprang from cult to classic with their 1993 self-titled release The Jerky Boys. The recording immediately went gold creating a legion of fans muttering nonsensical jerky isms like "sizzlechest" and "rubberneck."

Brennan explained that it all started on a rainy day while he was off from his job as a construction worker. Soon after his friend Kamal Ahmed joined him with his own collection of bizarre characters.

"Well it was always for fun . .. then it became so huge the we decided to get it out to more people because more people wanted to hear it," said Brennan, who takes on the alter egos of Frank Rizzo, Sol Rosenberg and Jack Tors.

"It never ceases to amaze me because every time I would play stuff for friends . . . they wouldn't

just laugh, they would like gag," said Kamal, who created the Egyptian Magician and the ailing patient in the dental malpractice call. "They always would say, 'You guys should do something with this stuff. " ' And do they did .

With two gold albums sitting in record stores , an MTV promotion playing around the clock , a book coming out and a new movie with an original sound track the Jerky Boys are poised to take the nation's cars by exposure.

MTV Jerky "We want to make it clear to our fans that for MTV we did 15 hours of material and what they are showing you is clean because they can ' t be airing bad words," said Johnny Brennan. "We're getting together a compilation of the best material and we ' re going to put it out on video, so you can actually see the real stuff."

Brennan explained that they amazed the MTV people with the amount of successful calls that turned out to be hilarious .

"I swear to God it is some of the best stuff that we have ever done," said Johnny Brennan. "And it ' s great man, believe me what your seeing is nothing compared to the real stuff."

Ahmed explained that MTV came to them with the idea for the spots.

"Even the VJ's at MTV would say jerkyisims like, 'stay tuned tough guy,'" sllid Ahmed. "So it was natural when they came to us and wanted to do the Candid Camera type thing."

The Film The film, directed by James Melkonian, has the Jerky Boys playing a comic duo that gets them-

Kamal Amhed signs an autograph for a fan, smiles and gives stuff away. It is all in a day's promo.

The Jerky Boys visited SDSU to meet their fans and plug their new movie, "The Jerky Boys." selves in trouble with the mob after making some prank phone calls.

The comic duo concept around the film came easy to Brennan and Ahmed who are partial to the classic duos of years past.

"I am a big fan of Abbott and Costello, The Honeymooners . . . all that old comedy stuff," said Ahmed .

Brennan explained that when the film was made it was important that he got to use his regular act, not a toned-down vers ion.

"That was one of the stipulations when we made the film , that we would not water anything down," said Brennan. "They wanted to have it rated PG so everybody could see the film and we said , ' no way ." ' Ahmed explained that they spent around four months on the writing process for the film , while the actual filming took arbout two months.

Brennan said that many of the actors and the director came out to do the project because they were fans.

Also, some unexpected guests came out to meet the boys. Like Ozzy Osbourne.

"I used to see Black Sabbath all the time when I was a kid and I knew everything there was to know about them ... I was telling Ozzy this and that and he didn ' t even want to hear it," said Ahmed. "All he wanted to do was imitate us ."

"Ozzy is a great guy , he loves the (stuff) and his kids love it," said Brennan.

Talk about hilarious. Imagine Osbourne, burned-out metal god , imitating the Jerky ' s used car salesmen bit. " Most bands are fans," said Brennan. "Nirvana is a big fan , they used to take us on their bus and play us on down time."

The English band Radio Head called the Jerky Boys and asked for permission to name their compact disc "Pablo Honey" after one of Brennan's characters.

"At least they were nice enough to _ask permission," said Brennan.

Making the calls

Johnny Brennan stars as himself in the movie "The Jerky Boys."

Some of the Jerky Boys victims sound as though they are freaking out, but Brennan and Kamal insist they don't want to scare anyone.

"As hard as this is to believe, I really don't like to hurt peoples feelings," said Ahmed. Kamal explained that they only call businesses be-

Sometimes terrorizing receptionists as the Egyptian Magician, Kamal Ahmed co-stars as himself in the movie "The Jerky Boys." cause people tend to remove themselves from their jobs so they don't take the calls personally.

"After the bit is done we save the number and give it to our manager and lawyer and they take care of the rest," said Brennan. "During the filming someone we had called recognized our manager from signing the release form and wanted a picture with me."

Of course the real magic in the phone calls comes from the Jerky Boys raw talent.

"Everything we do is spontaneous and thankfully we are both very quick witted," said Kamal. "Someone once called it the improvisational theater of the mind."

"I think they were reading into it to deep," added Brennan.

"Personally, our favorite types of calls are the stranger calls that probably wouldn't fit into the mainstream all that well," said Ahmed.

Maybe someday we will release an album with some of that material on it, says Ahmed .

Brennan explained that making the calls fast is best because you won't start to really scare people.

Plus, you keep it fresh if it is short, says Ahmed.

"Like the Uncle Freddy skit, I

could have kept that guy on forever, but I wanted to get in and out, not to mess with him too much," said Ahmed .

In the end Even though The Jerky Boys are receiving a lot of attention they still have not forgotten the reason that they started it all in the first place: for fun . " When this becomes a hassleand some days it docs just like anything else-then I'll give it up because the whole reason I started it was for fun," said Ahmed.

Although some of their bits are crude and rude, The Jerky Boys don't see them as offensive.

Ninety-nine percent of the people that I talk to love it, says Brennan, then there is always that one percent that always looks at the negative.

"You get a guy who gets his [genitalia] ripped off and reattached making filthy porno movies, the girl who hits the other girl's knee cap is real big in Japan and Buttafuoco and his wife are on Howard Stern's birthday show walking around like they're celebrities ... and people look at them as stars," said Ahmed.

"We just make people laugh."

You got that right, rubberneck!

Not aliens from.outer space, it's modem art Steven Zivanic Staff Writer

Palomar's Boehm Gallery will open its spring exhibition schedule with two exhibits by local San Diego artists Matthew Morgan Luem and Richard Keely. An opening reception for the artists will be held Feb. 2, followed with a month long display running from Feb. 3 to March 8.

Luem will be presenting an installment which he refers to as "the materialization of the body and the want to redefine it." Luem's work is rather awe inspiring, especially when seen up close and touched. You may not notice at first, but a lot of intricate little details are evident throughout his various creations.

An example might be one creation he calls the "Hegalian Alien."

It appears to be a large yellow beetle, but Luem says that it is really an ambiguous form of an extra terrestrial being.

The creation was very complicated to construct, Luem says, and it is one of his works which he is constantly redesigning, and adding new dimensions to.

Luem prefers to create art work from "inner feelings which come about as the project starts taking form," rather than "to start and finish with a set plan to follow."

Some of Luem's influences on his work

include Greek tradition, labyrinths and mazes, surfing and skating, the freedom of his youth and mo~t of all, science fiction books and films.

One particular film that had a strong influence on Luem was "The Searchers" by John Ford. The use of cinematic doubling in the film got his attention, and he now uses it throughout his work.

Cinematic doubling, in relative terms, can best be described as man trying to blend with the scenery around him.

Luem feels that "college and university (institutional) art is limited," and would like to show students just how far they can go when they set their limitations aside.

The other San Diego artist, Richard Keely, also a professor at SDSU, has a different yet somewhat similar approach to his artwork.

Using a definitive science fiction related attitude, Keely's creations look as if they stepped out of a "Twilight Zone" episode.

Various evil looking objects fill Keely's display room, objects that look as if they are about to start talking to you in a demonic tone.

Each creation has a lens which is meant for the patron to look through and get the inner feeling of the piece.

Upon glancing inside of the creations, you do see a magnified vision of what lurks inside,

Brian Wallace I The Telescope

Matthew Luem's "Hegalian Alien" is one of the featured works at the Boehm Gallery. a very intriguing feature of his work indeed.

Above all, these two new exhibitions at the Boehm Gallery are incredibly different from the artwork that a majority of us are

accustomed to, and should be checked out.

Oh, and if you're interested in buying the yellow alien piece don't hold your breath it's $I,500 ..

'Boys on the Side' puts friendship first Jeremy Lynch St>orts Editm

In today's high-paced. individualistic society people sometimes forget about the little things in life that arc rcall; important. Director Herbert Ross' '¡Boys on the Side" proved

to be an enjoyable change of pace that makes experience both sides of the emotional specone realize that the little things are what trum.

Jane, Robin, and Holly are three commatter.

Director Ross brings the personalities of pletely different women all running away Jane (Whoopi Goldberg), Robin (Mary- . from something as they share a car trip across Louise Parker). and Holly (Drew Barrymore) the country. Each has things they'd like to together in a way that causes the audience to forget and certain aspects of their lives they'd like to change. During the trip, they all seem to shed their armor and thus help each other get over the1r disappointments from the past.

Through laughing. crying, fighting anJ defending each other. friendships arc formed.

Along with the friendships comes something all three have been looking for all along. A sense of belonging ... a family.

Whoopi is her normal comedic self, trying to turn every situation into something humorous. However, as the film goes along, we sec a different side of Goldberg than we saw in such films as "Sister Act" and "Sister Act II," In an extraordinary dramatic role Whoopi' s performance as a lesbian singer was nothing short of spectacular.

Speaking of spectacular performances, we & & can't overlook the wonderful job Parker does portraying a young, single real estate agent with AIDS trying to run away from her deadly disease.

In "Boys on the Side," Parker's part as

., ,. ._

Jane fills a huge gap between most of society and herself because of her disease. However, the friendship she forms with Jane and Holly begins to bridge the gap somewhat.

The only real "gap" in the film may be Barrymore's part as Holly. Holly is a single, pregnant woman running from her abusive, drug-dealing boyfriend. Barrymore does her hestto mesh with the other two, but the script doesn't allow her part to reach the high-level drama the rest of the fi Im reaches. Not b; any fault of her own, Barrymore's part in the movie may bring the overall rating down.

Overall. Ross' '¡Boys on the S1Je'' has very few things that will bring ratings down. In a film that celebrates the art of survival, the gift of laughter, and the miracle of friendship, the three co-stars definitely bring out the best in each other.

The high pace of today's society usually finds me driving with music or some type of noise filling my Toyota pick-up truck.

However, after seeing "Boys on the Side," I drove home from the preview in Lemon Grove in complete silence. I doubt I could have stood any noise even if had I wanted to listen to anything.

I guess Ross and company got their message across .

Expectations could not have been higher as my group of Charger fans made our way to Laughlin, Nevada to bet on and watch the Big Game.

We knew in our hearts that the Chargers could pull off "The Game of the Century", even thought the world was telling them they did not have a snowballs chance in youknow-where.

We passed many Charger fans along the way who had adorned their cars with Lightning Bolts and other Charger paraphernalia just like we had done to our van. Their honks and waves pumped us up even more.

When we arrived at our hotel, we discovered many people wearing Charger shirts, hats and other regalia. We were shaking hands and high-fiving people we had never even laid eyes on before. The Charger fans outnumbered that '"other" teams fans 3 to I, and the excitement was almost unbearable.

Two weeks is too long to wait for such a big game.

We met a lot of people who supported other teams throughout the season, but when their teams were eliminated, they decided to cheer for the Chargers because they were the underdogs.

We placed our bet for the Chargers to win knowing that the Chargers would, at the very least, beat the point spread and we would break even. But we still felt that the Chargers could pull orr the upset or the century.

Game day dawned clear and bright as did

our expectations. When we d1scovered we could not sleep anyway, we got out of bed and got to see our first Nevada sunrise. All this just to watch a three hour game, in a crammed sports bar, in front of a television, in a room full of strangers, some of whom had been there since the day before.

A recap of the game is not necessary, and only a painful memory for us because although the Chargers did well, that "other" team did considerably better.

Even though the Chargers lost, true fans refused to be ashamed of them. All the way home, fans waved and gave us the thumbs-up sign. We all still had our bolts on our cars.

When we got back to the area, it seemed like the whole city was at the airport to show their unwavering support for their team. And to our critics we say "Just Wait Until Next !

Beyond The Arc

Rick Martinez Staff Writer

Jeremy Lynch Where were all the fans last year?

Something happened to many of us while we were away from our precious Palomar for winter break.

Many of us learned how to drive a new type of vehicle: a bandwagon.

Just to fill in anyone that might have been locked in a room with nothing but air and water for the past five weeks, the San Diego Chargers played in Super Bowl XXIX (that's twenty-nine if you're wondering). Unfortunately, their opponent was the offensive juggernaut known as the San Francisco 49ers.

Bolt fever swept through San Diego at an electrifying rate, causing many to don their blue and gold pride such as tee-shirts, caps, sweatshirts, and many other kinds of Charger paraphernalia. Never mind that the 49ers embarrassed the hometown heros earlier in the year with a 38-15 stomping of San Diego.

Locals, a.k.a. bandwagoners, have recently said on the radio and on television that they seriously thought the Chargers had a chance at winning (these are the same people that stopped rooting for the Chargers when they lost their first game).

Now let's not forget the 49ers team is the same team that beat the Chargers before, and this time there was something at stake (Final Score: 49ers 49 Chargers 26). Now don't get me wrong, I would have loved to see the Chargers win. And our beloved Bolts did have a shot at winning, but only because they believed in themselves. If the Chargers acted like most of their current fans they would have thrown in the towel after their first loss.

I understand that this town is in need of a winner. I also understand that the Super Bowl was a big deal.

But if the Chargers could have somehow pulled off the biggest upset in Super Bowl history and defeated San Francisco, everyone who lives here would have had a certain amount of bragging rights until next season. The thing that I don't understand is where all these newly found fans came from.

Last season, the Chargers struggled to an 8-8 record. Sure they had some key injuries and some bad luck, but because of that the fans here in San Diego turned their collective back and didn't sell out every game last year. Correct me if I'm wrong but, last years Charger team was the defending AFC West Champion. If the people of SanDiego can't support a winner any better than that, we will always be known as fair- weather fans.

San Diego teams always complain about getting no respect.

Maybe the San Diego teams have only to look as far as their fans to realize why they don't get any respect.

Palomar's Issac Hilker's tries to defend against a Southwestern fast break. The Comets lost the game Saturday night at the Dome 79¡63. Palomar's next home game is Feb. 8 against IVC.

No amount of effort or determination can make up for missed opportunities. Saturday night it was those missed opportunities that gave the visiting Southwestern Apaches a 79-63 victory over the Comets.

"We had a breakdown on our defense," said Comet Todd Johnson.

"Missed free throws were the key to the loss."

"Our missed lay-ups and missed free throws were the difference in the game," said Comets head coach Richard Johnson. "If we make those shots, we win."

Both teams scored at will early but it was missed shots and free

throws, with the help of inconsistent officiating, that let the Apaches take a 40-30 halftime lead into the locker room.

The Apaches began the second half on a 7-0 run lead by Terrence Springer who frustrated the Comet defense all night. Springer ended with 16 points, II rebounds, and 8 blocked shots.

But when the Comets closed within seven points with four minutes to play, the Apaches answered with a bucket from Louis Johnson and a two-handed dunk by Springer to seal the victory.

"Terrence made the Comets always look for him and wonder where he was. That made it hard for them to run their offense," said Apaches

head coach John Cosentino.

The Comets were led by Tommie B!Jnks' 16 points and 8 rebounds.

Todd Johnson added 14 points, and Ray Brodkins contributed 12 points to the Palomar effort.

The win improves Southwestern to 13-10, while Palomar, now falls to 4-16.

It was a tale of two halves for the lady Comet basketball team Friday night as they lost 75-59 to the San Diego Mesa Olympians at the Palomar Dome.

Turnovers and missed opportunities by Palomar low-lighted a second half that at one point saw head coach Kelly Duell do her best Bobby Knight impression and heave a chair into the closed bleachers behind her.

In another Bobby Knightesque move, Coach Duell was unavailable for comment after the game.

Behind a strong Mesa defense and excellent play from guard Sireta Dice, Mesa erased a 33-28 halftime deficit with a 16-4 run to open the second-half. The Olympians never looked back.

By limiting Palomar center Kricket Wafford to just two secondhalf field goals, San Diego Mesa effectively took the Comets out of their offensive game plan and set the table for their impressive second-half surge.

It was Wafford's exciting ,and at times dominant play, that allowed Palomar to control the opening 20 minutes as she scorched the Olympians for 14 points and 8 rebounds to go along with a block and a steal in the first half.

Two second-half three-pointers kept things within reach fort he Lady Comets and Wafford's turn around jumper with under three minutes to play cut the lead to six, at 63-57.

However, Palomar's comeback bid would fall short as Mesa responded with a 12-4 spurt to end the game.

Wafford led all scorers and rebounders with 24 points and 12 boards. Angie Lee chipped in with nine points for the Comets as Dice paced Mesa with 21.

Men's '95 netters looking for one thing: a championship Alex Azarmi Staff Writer

ThePalomarmen'stennisseason is just around the comer with the first match scheduled Feb. 8 at borne against Irvine Valley College . Last year, Irvine gave Palomar all they could handle.

The Comets should expect another tough test against IVC this year.

The goal this season, like every season, for the men's tennis team is to win its conference and beat out its rival, Grossmont College. Grossmont which won the conference championship,

beat the Comets twice last season.

The Comets have five players returning this year and should have a solid team by the start of the season. Although Coach Miller isn't making any prediclions on the season, he feels the team is right on schedule in being able to achieve its championship goal.

Anyone interested in trying out for the tennis team should contactJimMillerorJonCnossenat extension 2484.
