Student: faculty ignored fire alarm .• Alarm turns out to be prank Brian Wallace Man i1ging Editor
Admin istrators at the Palomar College Escondido Center received a complaint from a student who claimed that some instructors were not evacuating their c lassrooms when the fire alarm went off at the campus March I. The alarm ,, tripped at about 8:30 p .m., turned o ut to be a prank, but not escorting the students out of the classrooms is in violation of the school ' s safety procedures , said June Rady. assistant director of the Center. She explained that perhaps the instructors assumed that it was a false alarm, since many of them have been there several years, and with the exception of two preplanned fire drills, every time that an alarm has gone off, it has been a prank. 'That's the kind of thinking we don't want to have here,"Rady said . She also said that the number of fa lse alarms is disturbing and possibly harmful. "It's a very dangerous problem because it's like crying wolf, and then when you do have a problem, you're not prepared ," said Rady. In the five years of the Center' s existence, there have been about a dozen false alarms, Rady said. Prior to the false alarm on March I, the last one occurred Nov. 21 , 1994 and ¡ happened at the same alarm box as this last one. Rady doesn ' t believe the two
were re lated, however, because they happened duri ng different semesters. Rex Harrison, who stud ies Construction Inspection at the Center, was the student who made the report. He said he was appalled at the reactions of both students and instructors when the alarm sounded. "As we were leaving our class, there were people standing in the hallways loitering and talking on the phone and blocking the fire exits. "And the most shocking example I've ever seen in my 20 years of education was an instructor who c losed the door to her class because of the noise so her c lass could watch a movie, and this was with a fire truck sitting in the parking lot and everything. Down the hall another teacher did the same thing," Harrison said. Rady said that while she doesn't know for sure which faculty members were not following the proper evacuation procedures , a ll faculty wi ll be reminded of the importance of following the school ' s fire alarm procedures. " What we ' re going to do is stress the proper procedure at our faculty orientations each semester and each instructor has a handbook with all the information about the fire alarms and the escape routes . We ' re also going to put out a reminder memo to get their attention and let them know

After lobbying the positions nf California Community Colleges to fec.eral legislators last weekend, Palomar's Associated Student Government returned from Washington, D.C. March 7 with news of substantial budget cuts looming for higher education. The legislative conference, which was sponsored by the American Student Assoc iation of Community Colleges (ASACC), included workshops and lectures, but was designed to allow for student representatives to lobby their respective legis lators on a pre-
determined issue chosen by ASACC. "In effect, ASACC is just a lobbying vehicle for comm unity colleges," said ASG Senator G reg Arms trong. "The schools don' t have a di rect say in what iss ues we lobby when we' re there. Instead we pay the AS ACC fees and, in turn, they select the issue."

Michigan student jailed for Internet story Sophomore Jake Baker from the University of Michigan was suspended from school and arrested by the FBI after he used the name of a fellow female student in a graphic story involving rape, torture and murder that he wrote and posted on the Internet on Jan. 9. During Baker's initial hearing, U.S. Magistrate Thomas Carlson said the student was "disturbed and dangerous" and ordered him held without bail. Baker's troubles began when he posted his story on "alt.sex.stories," a USENET bulletin board. In Baker's story. he described himself and others breakmg into the apartment of a female and beating. torturing and raping her. Baker wrote that the woman was "shaking with terror''
TAKE NOTE
throughout the entire incident. David Cahill, Baker's attorney, says that his client is a victim of censorship. "We're talking about a typical college sophomore here who has never done anything wrong in his life." Cahill added that the American Civil Liberties Union and Electronic Frontier Foundation would be getting involved with the case. ''He's a linguistics major. He writes stories. That is not illegal by any stretch of the imagination." Although both federal and UM officials say they can't discuss the case because it involves issues of federal privacy, Lisa Baker. a UM spokesperson, said that the university 's actions arc not about censorship, but about protecting the safet) of its students. Although Baker was scheduled to appear
at a number of hearings with UM officials to see if he could be reinstated to the university, Cahill says both party's have decided to suspend any action on enrollment until the federal case is settled in court. While being escorted back to prison after a recent arraignment hearing, Baker told reporters that he thinks he is being held without cause. "I haven't harmed anyone," he said . "I think this is a violation of my First Amendment rights and probably several other rights." Cahill insists that Baker had no intentiOn of ever harmmg the female student mentioned in the story. "Jake is sorry this happened. He never even met this student," he said.

FIRE: False alarm who is on the committee for school lunch funding which has made recent headlines, McNamara questioned the priorities of Congress and the American people. McNamara believes that all the attention being paid to the kindergarten through grade 12 levels is detracting from issues of higher education, which are just as important. "The [school lunch program] work Cunningham is doing is very much needed. But what happens if you get these kids through grade 12 healthy and ready to go to col lege, and there are no universities?" asked McNamara. According to McNamara, the potential educati on cuts targeted by ASACC will affect 186 programs.

Fueled by a mandate to slice individual committee budgets by the amount of their individual operation costs, the cuts to programs like the Pell Grant will be approximately 30 percent. As a result of the proposed cuts, the number of students qualifying for federal aid will decrease, with the amount they receive remaining the same. Congressional members favoring the cuts maintain that the narrowing of the recipient pool will not squeeze out those who rely on federal education assistance. McNamara, however, says that Congress is attempting to steer the budget cuts in a direction that does not cut solely from the recipients. Possibilities being investigated include decreasing the 30 percent administration costs and aboli.shing government payment of deferred interest on student loans. The administration costs, which control up to 30 percent of some programs' budgets, are a target because they draw operational costs Matthew from funds alMcNamara, located for a ASG Vice speci fie purPresident of State Affairs pose. McNamara used the Pell Grant fund as an example of the problem. With the 30 percent cost, only $70 out of every $100 actually goes to students. "Thirty percent of the budget for administration is a large amo unt. This could be re-allocated to fundmg students ," satd McNamara. "They want to make sure that the money appropriated is actually going into the hands of the people." McNamara, who does not support the cuts. said that Congress defends these type of cuts by using isolated incidences of students using educational grants for things other than school or living cost~.

that the alarms are alarms and they need to follow procedure," said Jim Clayton, director of the Escondido Center. The campus is also taking steps to deter future false alarms. They are in the process of ordering glass covers for their fire alarms so that it will be more difficult for pranksters to set off the alarms without getting caught. "The fire department feels the glass covers will be a deterrent to a
degree because you have to break the glass first before you get to pull," Rady said. "It's going to make a noise when the glass shatters, then you have to pull, and it's going to take them a little longer, so someone might see (the prank) and be willing to come forward. With the alarms the way they are right now, you can just pull it real quick and even if someone caught it out of the corner of their eye, they might not be sure if that person actually did it because it can be done so quickly," she said.

Palomar employees boarded a bus March 3 for a tour of five of Palomar's Education Centers. About 40 people visited the Camp Pendleton, Fallbrook, Escondido, Mt. Carmel and Poway Centers. The tour was to remind people that despite its size, Palomar is one school, according to Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs, who participated in the tour.
Patrol reports one in 67 parking permits are stolen James Hatch Staff Writer
Somewhere on the Palomar campus a shadowy figure lies in wait. By all accounts he is nameless and faceless. He has a specific target in mind ; a lone student parked off campus who could be hiking as far as a halfmile to class. He won ' t say much, he won't have to. He knows what you want and he knows that you are willing to pay . "Hey, Buddy. Wanna buy a parking permit?" You will wipe the beaded sweat from your brow, gratefully hand over $5 or $10 and stroll away grinning at your good fortune while thinking that you have beaten the system. Think again. Campus Patrol officers are looking for those stolen permits, and with only 3,447 marked student parking spaces, the odds that anyone trying to use a stolen permit wi II survive the semester are minimal at best. As of March 6, 22 student and 29 staff permits have been reported missing or stolen. So do the math. One in about every 67 vehicles will be displaying a stolen permit. It is conceivable that an observant of-
ficer could locate a stolen permit each day if he put his mind to it. One student who agreed to be interviewed but requested that her name not be mentioned said that she thought the odds of not getting caught would be pretty good. "This guy came up to me and offered a permit for $5," she said. "I thought about it for a few seconds and figured that there had to be at least 20,000 students here, and most of them drive. I thought there would be no way they could find one permit in all those cars . I guess I was wrong." The student went on to say that getting caught actually cost her more than just buying a permit from the cashier. Once a stolen permit has been identified, the vehicle displaying it is ticketed not once but twice. One ticket for displaying an invalid permit and another for parking an unregistered vehicle on campus. Both offenses ring in at $20 and the offender must also buy a legal permit for an additional $20. The final cost for this so-called bargain is upwards of$60. Despite the potential revenue, searching parking lots for tilched permits is not a high priority, according to Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd Mahan.
"In fact, it's probably at the bottom of the list," said Mahan. Even at that, Mahan says that about 12 stolen permits are recovered each semester. "We've got some real eager people here. Parking at Palomar is fairly reasonable. It costs $63 per semester at Pasadena City College, and can be as much as $75 at San Diego State and Cal State San Marcos." Despite what many think about permits just being another way to get money out of students' pockets, the revenue generated through parking fees serves a purpose. Parking Jots are not supported by tax dollars. According to Mahan, money from parking permits is in a restricted account and it can only be spent on certain things. "The money is spent on salaries for Campus Patrol, maintenance of the lots, striping, signs; anything that has to do with the parking lots," Mahan said. The biggest reason that students attempt to use stolen permits, said Mahan, is that they don't want to spend another $20 on top of tuition and books. "When someone gets caught," said Mahan, "the officers just laugh about it. The student is the one who gets hurt in the end, not the guy who sold the permit."

·sAT LADY • A zoology major at Palomar, Tiffany Mayton strives to educate public on bats Wendy Crafts Comributill!i Writer
It is a typical night in the Math 60 class at Palomar College's Escondido Center. The instructor is showing the class how to solve a problem involving cost and production of manufacturing. Suddenly, the teacher is distracted by a woman passing by the open classroom door, and he says, "There goes Bat woman!" A young Elvira look-alike enters the classroom with her hands cupped around a small object. She opens her hands to reveal a live Mexican brown bat. Tiffany Mayton, better known as the "batlady," is a zoology major at Palomar College who happens to spend much of her spare time with bats. For the past threeand-a-half years she has been a volunteer with San Diego Bat Conservation, which is an organization that rescues bats an£1 does public education lectures. This 24-year-old lover of bats doesn't mind being referred to as the batiady in the least. "It's a compliment, it's fun," she laughs. "But I'm kinda weird, so it's OK." In a very relaxed and laid-back manner, Mayton explains that she is the only volunteer to cover the entire North County. People are referred to her when they have a bat in their home. She admits that she sometimes gets annoyed that people consider bats such an extreme nuisance. "Halfofthecalls I wouldn't call a 'problem,"' she s~ys. "A lot of people act like they're rodents or insects invading their home." Clearly it doesn't bother Mayton to have bats in her own home. She cares for many of
the bats that she rescues that can't be returned to the wild. Presently, she has four of these creatures as roommates. The batlady's best friend, Lisa Swihart, says, "She's really dedicated and nurturing to the animals that can't be returned." She adds, "When we're talking on the phone at night, she's usually feeding one of the bats." The green-eyed animal lover wanted to be a veterinarian when she was just 5 years old. "I like animals more than humans," Mayton laughs, showing a full smile and crinkling her eyes. And while she does enjoy working with all animals, the conservation of "normal" animals isn't what interests her the most. "Lemme go out into the tundra and work with the caribou," she says. "I want the unusual stuff." However, this unusual woman, dressed in cutoff jeans, a black t-shirt, and an oversized plaid flannel shirt, has more interests than just animals. Besides collecting -Tiffany Mayton rare vinyls(records) "The Batlady" and working in a Harley shop, she also finds time to go to the clubs on the weekends and videotape her friends who play in bands. She also digs hot rods from the 1960s, her "batmobile" of choice being a 1971 Chevelle. ''I'm an individual, I like unusual things," she says bluntly. "I like my raunchy heavy metal music, and my hot rods and my tattoosother than that I'm really a normal person," she grins. Besides being known as the batlady, she's also notorious as the "tat lady," because of her seven tattoos, two of them bats. Owner of Rhodes Body Piercing Jewelry,

Fester the Bat apparently has no qualms about showing its affection towards Tiffany Mayton, better known as "the batlady" to fellow Palomar students.
Carla Van Wagoner I T!Je Telescope
Fester, a Mexican brown bat, is one of four bats living with zoology major Tiffany Mayton. Fester may eat up to 500 insects in a single day. Craig Rhodes, who is also the batlady/tatlady' s boyfriend, says, "She's vivacious, bright, intelligent. She can carry on a conversation on any subject." While it is apparent that she knows how to have a good time, Mayton also has a serious side. She becomes very focused and concerned as she explains her goals in educating people about bats. It is very important to her to convey that bats are extremely essential to all ecosystems. "They're na~ural pest control," she says. She further explains that one bat eats as many as 500 insects per night. Sometimes, however, she has a hard time trying to convince people that bats aren't all bad. "You gotta give them [people] the benefits, rather than saying, 'this is a wild animal, it's endangered.' They don't care," she says. "It's gotta benefit humans before they're gonna care." This bat nurturer feels strongly about. clearing up the myths associated with bats, such as bats being blind. She explains that they can see just fine, and that bats only use ecolocation to 2ero in on something as small as a mosquito in complete darkness. According to Swihart, the batlady has a strong focus on educating the public in order to alleviate the fear of bats. Swihart admits, ·'I had the same fears most people have of getting rabies and stuff." But apparently the batlady helped her friend to understand the unfamiliar creatures. "From her telling me about them, and being around them, and telling me what their good qualities arc, she has alleviated my fears." Swihart adds, "Her enthusiasm is infectious." The batlady admits that not all people are as open-minded as her friend. "It's hard when you have someone who's so closed-minded and you're there to educate them, and they just think everything you're sayin' is false," she says. "They wanna believe the myths and
everything they've seen in the movies." Mayton feels that because of the way bats have been portrayed they tend to get stereotyped, and that's why she feels so strongly in alleviating the myths and fears associated with them. Perhaps the reason she is so sympathetic to the judgment of bats is that she is often misjudged by people as well. She says, "In my mind I'm normal, but I like my facade to be macabre." John Skedd, adjunct faculty member at Palomar College says, "People don't understand her until they get to know her." But he says that he has learned not to judge people right away. "She looks kinda different, but I get a kick out of that," he says. Behind the long dark brown hair and black eyeliner lies a confident woman who is comfortable with who she is, and seems oblivious to what people think of her. "I know what I am, and I don't care [what people think], 'cuz oftentimes I'm a much better person than half the people who look at me that way," she says. Swihart says that sometimes pe·ople do have pre-conceptions toward her friend. but adds that, "She's so educated and can conYey her knowledge so well I think people take her seriously once she starts talking." It is a typical night in Math 60 and the batwoman, Tiffany Mayton. enters the room with bat in hand and takes a moment to giYc the class more information about bats. Some may judge her by her outward appearance right away. and still others might even judge the bat. One thing is for sure. the students will leave their math class wllh a better understanding of bats because of Mayton's drive to rid the public of ignorance through education. Perhaps to some she has even conveyed the old-fashioned message that sometimes it is wise not to judge a book by its cover, or even a bat by its wings.

HIV: The new scarlet letters? • They are morally obligated to tell
• Ignore the mythsknow the facts
Kimberly Berg
Ar;gela A. Logan
Staff Writer
Copy Editor
Athletes such as Magic Johnson and Greg Louganis are examples of well-promoted superstars who have greatly benefited from public exposure, yet they both are HIV -positive. They are not volunteers, but paid entertainers. Therefore, if they are not promoting an image that is in line with social standards, then the public has the right to know and companies have the right to get their money's worth. Both Johnson and Louganis are young men who are faced with a life-threatening virus that can harm others if the proper precautions are not taken. Louganis, for example, placed other athletes and a physician at risk at the 1988 Summer Olympics when he accidentally hit his head on the diving ooard and dripped blood into the pool. However, neither his competitors nor the physician who stitched the wound by hand were properly informed. Such silence is selfish and irresponsible. Louganis had the moral obligation to disclose his HIV status. His participation in the Olympics need not be stifled by exposing his HIV status, but at least, if an accident occurred, precautions could have been taken to reduce the possibility of exposure for others. Although his fear of not being allowed to perform is justified, his silence, even as a physician repaired his wound, is a sin. In the case of Magic Johnson, who did come forward to the public about his HIV status, such exposure was heroic. His goal turned from a personal one to a goal of informing others as to how to protect themselves from getting AIDS. What would have happened if he did not tell the public of his HIV status? If he were to continue to play basketball and accidentally bleed on other players following an injury, he, too, would obviously expose other innocent athletes to HIV. Although Johnson did re-enter basketball to play on the 1992 Olympic team, at least everyone knew to take precautions. His honesty is to be admired. Since professional athletes are role models and have such a major inlluence on young adults, they could use their stardom to educate others and create awareness. If the public knew that their favorite star will surely die because there is no cure for AIDS. then maybe more dollars could be donated for muchneeded research.
With Greg Louganis announcing his HIV status publicly for the first time, AIDS and the athlete is again the subject of much debate. When Louganis told Barbara Walters in a recent interview that he was HIV-positive during the 1988 Olympics, and that he knew about it, a collective gasp was heard around the world. How could he knowingly expose all the other divers to this hideous disease? Because his doctors told him it was safe. And because he could not have predicted cracking his head open on the diving board, causing him to bleed into the pool. Personally, I believe the doctors who still maintain that AIDS is contracted only through sexual intercourse, blood transfusion with infected blood or needle sharing. A recent Newsweek article on this subject quoted Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as saying, "You need direct exposure of an open wound to infected blood." He also pointed out that there are no known cases of HIV infection through sports. The article also quoted Dr. John Ward, chief of HIV-AIDS surveillance at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who said that blood in the Olympic pool poses zero risk. "Chlorine kills HIV," said Ward. Doctors have repeatedly said that the kind of contact that occurs during a game, even a rough -one, does not promote the spread of AIDS. Still, with all the information available, just the mention of AIDS drives usually sane people to act irrationally. Take Magic Johnson for example. When he made the "Dream Team" for the 1992 Olympics, people from other countries threatened to boycott the game. Some of his own team members even threatened to quit if Johnson played. Is it any wonder why athletes who test positive don't want to go public with the information? They live with the knowledge that if people discover their secret they will be ridiculed and shu nned . Tennis great Arthur Ashe admitted he had AIDS only after the press threatened to expose him. Now, instead of thinking of him as a tennis legend. we think o f him as the tennis player who died of AIDS. We fear what we don't understand, and this fear causes us to turn our backs on people just when they need us most. Education, not forced disclosure. is the ke).

Word To The Vize Jeff Vize
Native-ethno-Celtic sensitivity needed Ethnosexual-racial equality and political correctness. These words go hand in hand. You've probably never even heard the first one-I made it up-but you can surely still guess its meaning. In fact, if you want, you can probably even see it making its debut soon in Newsweek or Time, the leading word manufacturers in America today. Etymologically speaking, the words are actually near opposites. Oddly enough, however, it seems that we are all seeking one, using the other as our path to it. Although the road has been long and difficult the end may finally be in sight: Jesus is finally being recognized as gender-neutral, trashmen are receiving l 0-syllable names for the job descriptions, Abraham Lincoln is being portrayed as a ruthless slavebeater and the excitement about a potential lobby for "a moment of seance" in America's public schools has reached a fever pitch. But there is still a way to go and in order for the goal of equality to be reached, some gaping holes, particularly those in our university curricula, must be patched. A glance at any college's courses will tell you that we are only halfway to "proper" in this educational "ethnosexual-racial" diversification. There are courses like Women's Studies and American Indian Studies, along with big pseudo-words to describe the reasons we have them, but there are the missing links. One that first comes to mind is BuddhaCeltic American Studies. Imagine a group of people who have lived their lives potentially lacking a full understanding of their history and culture. How can they fit in with no sense of belonging? We could all stand to gain a little bit of perspective on this group of citizens. A class that would cover somewhat more sensitive ground is Mascots I 0 I. This course is an open invitation to all those whose heritage has been trampled by the selfishness of American sports. It would be an opportunity to learn a brief history of each of the groups that are so grossly exploited in our country's sporting events each day. Learn about the downfall of various Native American tribes, as well as the sensationalized hatred that has developed in the U.S. for such groups as lumberjacks, priests and California Banana Slugs as a result of their associations with sports teams. Of course concessions must also be made for the most glaring absence in this curriculum: White Middle-Class-American Studies. This group seems to be throwing quite the political temper-tantrum as of late. Maybe if a genuine effort is made by each of us to reach these goals, an interesting thing will happen. We will all learn to be "equal" and then we will all be the same.
Should athletes be forced to disclose their HIV status?
Important facts about HIV/AIDS
Contract With America not worth paper it's written on
Liz Bennett
Francis T. Crowley
Staff Writer

AIDS is one of the top killers of young people today. Many people think they can get AIDS through casual contact. If that was possible, everyone and their dog would have it by now. It is impossible to get AIDS through casual contact in schools, at parties, in swimming pools, stores or the workplace. It cannot be caught by hugging, shaking hands or simply being near a person who is infected with the virus. There have been no reported cases of infection via insect bites or toilet seats. The four main ways the AIDS virus is spread are: Having sexual intercourse with an infected person; sharing drug needles and syringes with users of illegal drugs; a transfusion with infected blood; passing the virus from an infected mother to an unborn child. Condoms are not l 00 percent effective in preventing the virus from spreading-they can break and tear. Practice safe sex by having only one, uninfected partner, or abstain from sex altogether. Many free fliers aboutHIV/AIDS are available in the Student Health Services building on campus. Student Health Services also offers confidential HIVI AIDS testing every Tuesday by appointment between 9 a.m. and noon for a $2 fee. Abstinence is quickly becoming a popular trend. Not everyone is "doing it." Abstinence is the only way to be safe.
As everyone knows, since last election day, the Republican controlled Congress has been instituting changes which are described within the "Contract With America" which so many politicians signed proclaiming their intent to change the way Washington does business. Unfortunately, with more than half of their self-imposed deadline gone, they are not halfway through. So far the changes to each of the bills brought to vote shows that politics as usual is changing the "Contract" into a sham. Originally, the contract called for a vote on I 0 bills within the first I 00 days of the new Congress. WhiletheHouseRepublicansareslapping one another on their backs for coming close to obtaining half of the "Contract," they hope that Americans are not paying attention to the ways they have changed the original "Contract." Most recently, in an attempt to appease certain Senators, the "Contract" backers had spec;ial provisions installed with the recent "Balanced Budget Amendment," which practically destroyed its intended purpose. To attract Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) towards an affirmative vote, the Tennessee Valley Authority was to be exempt from spending caps imposed by Congress. That is pure pork-barrel politics. We have watched Congress recede from taking away food stamps by reversing their decision only to keep farm-belt

Andrea Samuels Business Accounting "Yes. They are public fugures and the public should be aware of what they do."
congressmen happy. Congress has been taking provisions of the original "Contract" and changing them so drastically that only the topic remains the same but not the intent. The rhetoric of the original "Contract suggested reversal of last year's Anticrime package. The new version of "Crime Control" is six different bills that only seem to crowd the already porkladen legislation. Another sly transformation from the "Contract" to legislation is welfare cutbacks that have been turned into welfare spending caps. Block grants seem to be this years version of spending cuts. Just another spineless political trade-off. Additionally, the amendment for term limits for members of Congress will only cover future Senate and House members, not the present members. Washington is famous for loopholes and pork-barrellawmaking. Congress is famous for passing bills with amendments that have nothing to do with the original intent, only to obtain votes from politicians who otherwise wouldn't care to pass the legislation. The balancedbudgetamendment which just went down to defeat, and other areas passed as part of "Contract With America" have loopholes big enough for Newt Gingrich to jump through. They are still practicing politics, what the new Republican majority said they would change. We the voters may have to remove all those who still don't understand.

••••••••••••••••••••
Movie review I really need a loan I ••••••••••••••••••••
Hello, Ms. Morganstern? This is Chris Gleason. I talked to you the other day about your Deluxe Fixed Rate Personal Use Loan. ... Well, ma'am, I'm ready. It's a big step, but sometimes you just have to go for it. . . . I want to take my girlfriend Carrie to a movie. We don't want a big, fancy cinematic experience., mind you. Just admission for two to a show, and maybe a Tub '0 Corn and a large soda to split. What's that? Oh, uh, well, I don't have much time on my hands during the day, what with work and all, so I'm afraid a ma~inec is out of the question. Yes, I know this is quite a leap, but I've been involved with Carrie for almost three years now, and I'm pretty sure it's time to take the plunge. I'm going to have to take the evening rate. I know that it's a big difference in price, but what the heck. <*sigh*> She's worth it' Collateral? I have a, er. .. classic au tomobile! Yeah! It's 25 years o ld and runs like a dream .... What kind of car? A, urn, Ford Galaxie .... No, wait! Don't hang up! I'm not lying that it's in tip-top hape. I'm sure that I could get at least a grand for it. I certainly hope that would be enou~h to cover a movie! What do you mean there's been a shortage in the popcorn crop this year? Isn't that going to drive up the concession prices? You expect Tub '0 Corn to jump into the $ 120 range. Well, it's sti ll cheaper than the M il k Duds. I have a bit saved up, so i fi fee l compelled to get some snacks there, I could cover it. Why do you want to know which mov ie we're going to? Aren't they all about the same price? Oh, I see. You want to make sure that I do n't waste money earmarked for romance on some second-rate Steven Seagal fi lm. Gotcha. I assure you, the thought never crossed my mind. I was th inking more along the li nes of a chick-fil. .. er. .. Jove story. You know, go the full nine yards and all that. No, I don't thi nk a d inner out is in the cards, ma'am. To do that, I'd probably have to sell my car outright. I mean, have you been to a Sizzler lately? The Steak 'N' Shrimp din ner woul d give the theater concession stand a run for its money! So maybe I'm going eight-and-a- half yards, huh? Term of the loan? I'm not so sure I could handle the payments of a 24-month loan, but I could manage a 36-month deal. I figure that I've waited about three years to take her to a movie, so three years ought to give me enough time to pay for it, huh? Hceheehee .... You're not laughing, Ms. Morganstern. Is that a bad sign? <*GULP*> Now about my credit rep .... Oh, you've already looked at my credit report? Y cah, I know there's a couple of dark spots on it, but that was a while ago, and I'm making more money now. I know I was late on some loan payments, but. .. excuse me? Y cs, that was also for a movie, but I thought it would impress this girl, so I. .. hmm? It turned out very poorly, as a matter of fact. She ended up running off with a traveling sideshow, starring as the Snake Woman. At any rate, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive my past errors. They.are few and relatively minor, so I. .. yes Ms. Morganstern? You' II call me tomorrow? Well, what do you think my odds are? I should check my listi ngs? Cool. . ..

The new film "Hideaway," directed by Brett Leonard, is a good example of how an excellent book can be misinterpreted and visually des troyed by Hollywood . The film, staring Jeff Goldblum, never manages to let the characters develop to their full extent, and distorts many e lements showcased in the best sell ing novel, written by Dean R. Koontz. The story revo lves around Hatch Harrison (Jeff Goldblum), as he miracu lously escapes death, and inexplicably begins to share a terrifyi ng li nk with a psychotic killer named Vassago (Jeremy S isto) . T hi s link pu ts hi s daug hter (A li c ia Si lverstone) and wife (Christine Lahti), in mortal danger. As Goldb lum fights to defeat the savage ki ller, he learns the truth abou t the sly doctor (Alfred Molina), who, upon saving Goldb lum's life, opened the door to his possi ble des truction. The viewer expects to see Goldb lum give a very strong and convincing performancesuch as disp layed in the I 986 science fict ion epic "T he Fly," directed by David Cronenberg- but , instead is disappointed to hear the actor curse wi th the forceful impact of Strawberry Shortcake. The ki ller, Jeremy Sisto, played his part wholehearted ly and was quite convi nc ing as a demonica ll y possessed, mac hete w ie lding murderer. C hristine Lahti played a very convi nci ng wife on the edge, as her charac ter was constantl y faced with the worries of an insane husband. As for Alicia Si lverstone, who played the part of the daughter, lets j ust say she's another pretty face, to say the least. Asides from mediocre ac ting on the part of Goldblum , the fi lm also suffered from a redundant package of computer generated special effects. In the beginning of the fi lm , we

Ecoteur casts a hypnotic spell Our long, national nightmare is over. Duckman returns, with all-new episodes.
• Encinitas band is delightfully mellow on 'Peacock Mantra' Local Music Box Kimberly Berg Staff Writer
1JC~C)M~ rf\'~~
An acoustic guitar, hypnotic vocals, thought-provoking lyrics and melodic percussion are the four ingredients Encinitas musician Todd Rusch needed when he founded Ecoteur. Sounds like he found them. Singer/Songwriter, Rusch, 34, began writing songs for the "Peacock Mantra" LP three years ago .In his third album the songs are about the ecology, the materialism of modern societies and the search for life's mystical messages . Ecoteur, which was founded in 1987, derived it's name from the words ecology (Eco) and (teur), the French word "to listen." The first demo caught the attention of Violent Femmes drummer Victor DeLorenzo who went on to produce "Decorated Life" for Chamberlin Records, said Rusch The album's title song became popular on alternative radio. Following the release of Ecoteur's second LP "Weekend Guru," produced by Shel Talmy (Kinks/Who), Chamberlin Records went out ofbusiness, sending Rusch to Arizona for two years. Rusch said that he finally found himself in Los Angeles, but, unable to live in the L.A. environment, he drifted south to Encinitas where he recorded "Peacock Mantra." He explained that he not only wrote all of the lyrics to the songs, sang them and played the guitar for the LP, he also produced and engineered the entire album at the Belly Up Studios in Solana Beach. Beginning as a volunteer at the studios, he learned the ropes and eventually obtained access to record. He began to work late hours several times a week in order to complete the project. "I did it the way I wanted to. I worked from midnight until3 a.m.,"

Rusch said. "I used to get the phone number of everyone that came into the studios and ask them to play the back-up instruments." He said that he writes about his feelings and emotions, and his music is a retlection on how he feels about society. Some songs are moody, while others are a bit more upbeat. Rusch said he was offered an opportunity from American Records to promote his music internationally. Dave Kendall, co-host for MTV' s "120 Minutes," called Ecoteur one of the top bands to watch in the '90s. "Deep Waters," a song from the "Peacock Mantra" LP, made it to the top I 0 at KUKQ, a radio station at Arizona State University, said Rusch. KKOS, a San Diego radio station, also played "Deep Waters." By producing other artist's records he earns extra money. He will play on Palomar's KKSM March 22 . He will also be playing at The Arthouse in Carlsbad March 25 for KKOS Night.

It's home sweet home for Palomar's men's volleyball team. The Comet's won their second straight match at the Dome, three games to none, 15-5, 15-8, 15-7 over the Gross mont Griffins Wednesday night. The match was never in question. The Comets played a near flawless match, fueled by a pumped up Palomar 3 Comet crowd. Sean Thomas began the match with Grossmont 0 an ace and the Comets steamrolled through game one. "This gym is a big help," said Stephen "the animal" McLaughlin. "We're used to the feel here, and when the crowd cheers after a big play, the momentum stays witiT us." In game 2, the Comets jumped out to an 11-4 lead and quickly disposed of the Griffins, leaving the pressure on themselves to
sweep the match. Game 3, the usual time for a Comet collapse, was Palomar's best showing of the match. Playing through Grossmont's desperate defensive effort, Palomar fought back from an early 2-0 deficit and responded with 8 straight points. The Comets continued their focus and overpowered Grossmont for the victory. "I was worried about a third game let down," said Comet Head Coach Duncan McFarland. "I was stoked we stepped our play to another level and won the match." Palomar was led by Matt Wilkinson's 51 assists and Matt Hyden's 16 kills and 3 aces. Dave Forester added 3 aces, while Seth Schreiner's II kills and 4 blocks buried Grossmont. "With every match we gain confidence and play better the next time out," said McFarland.

Comets starting pitcher, Sef Soto, delivers a pitch in the second inning of Palomar's 8-5 victory over the Grossmont Griffins. With a bases loaded balk by Grossmont in the fifth outfielder Tim Mulligan scored from third to pull Palomar within one run of the Griffins and in the bottom of the sixth Walker pranced home from third off an errant throw into center field by the Griffins to tie the score up at 3-3. Grossmont added two runs in the top half of the ninth off Barnes RBI single that scored Lennon from third and Rob Coddington's single that scored Barnes from second. The Comets responded with two more runs in bottom of the ninth to
deadlock the score at five. Mulligan scored from second off yet another bad throw to first by the Griffins and John Sgalio scored off Walker's RBI single to send the game into extra innings. After Grossmont failed to get anything going in the I Oth the Griffin reliever walked Mulligan and Sgalio to set up Rohlmeir's heroics. "As soon as it left my bat I knew it was going," said Rohlmeir.
