ICC vice chairperson resigns over disputes • Ackerman calls chairperson a 'dictator' Steven Zivanic Staff Writer
Citing"irreconcilabledifferences" and leveling charges of power politics against the Inter-Club Council chairperson, ICC Vice Chairperson Jim Ackerman has resigned. Ackerman, who has served as vice chairperson for the ICC since last semester, chose to resign rather than be impeached in ICC courtstyle proceedings, he said. He attributes the reason for his resignation to two things. He said, his main reason is what he calls ICC Chairperson Robert Jenkins' obsessive need for power and control. "Robert Jenkins is a dictator. He wants to control everything himself and not let anybody assist him," Ackerman said. Ackerman also claimed that he couldn't accomplish anything, due to the communication barrier between Jenkins and himself.
Ackerman said that Jenkins never wanted totalktohim, and constantly avoided him whenever he tried to help or come up with a new idea. "It seemed like the guy (Jenkins) Jim Ackerman, former hated me, and always ICC Vice Chairperson tried to get rid of me. He was very uncooperative, especially when I tried to get involved," said Ackerman. Ackerman added that during ICC meetings, Jenkins would attempt to address him as being negligent. "He would degrade me in front of all of the

Two-day concerts planned for SpringFest activities Daniel Kwan Editor-in-Chief
It may not be Woodstock, but Palomar wi II hold its own concert event Tuesday, March 21 and Wednesday, March 22 with SpringFest '95. Sponsored by the Associated Student Government, the first day of SpringFest consists of a contemporary jazz theme while the second day features alternative rock music. All performances are free and will be held in the lawn area across from the Student Union. Headlining the event Tuesday is saxophonist Hollis Gentry and his band Neon who
will perform with jazz singer Marguerita Page. Their performance begins at 12:30p.m. Reggie Smith's Press for Time will open the show and take the stage from 10 a.m. to noon. The ASG is also negotiating with San Diego jazz station KiFM to have them come on campus.

Students march in D.C. to protest cuts in aid Justin Bergman College Press Service
WASHINGTON-About 200 Washington-area college students attended a rally on Capitol Hill in early March to protest Republicanproposed cuts in student financial aid programs. Four Democratic members of Congress addressed the students, most of whom were from Georgetown University. The demonstration came at a time when Republicans have outlined deep budget and tax cuts aimed at reducing the deficit. Up for consideration are significant cuts to stu-
dent aid, including the elimination of interest subsidies for student loans while students are attending college. Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) said students must organize on every campus across the nation to protest financial aid cuts. "Student loans are an investment in the country," Lowey said. ''The Republican majority is showing their extremism, and you have to fight them at the ballot box." Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) told the students she wanted to take the energy and the intelligence of the crowd and "pass it out in the House." She said reducing cuts to

The rally also featured four area students, who gave their personal accounts of how cuts would effect them.

She said there is no logic to explain why hard working Americans should be denied an education if financial aid is cut.

First female inducted in baseball Hall of Fame COSTA MESA, Calif.-If major league baseball owners are serious about hiring replacement players for the upcoming season, they might want to look to Southern California College's baseball team for a Hall of Fame pitcher. Sophomore II a Borders recently joined baseball legends Babe Ruth, Ernie Banks and Willie Mays in Cooperstown. She will be honored in a new exhibit as the first women to officially pitch in a college baseball game. "When I found out, I couldn't stop jumping up and down," says Borders. "It's like a dream come true. It's something I didn't expect.'' But for many college h1tters. Borders herself is something they don't expect: a female pitcher in what has traditionally been an all-male sport.
Her father helps control the barrage of reporters his daughter has attracted recently. "I knew I would have some people calling me, but I never thought it would be as bad as it was," says Borders, recalling a three-day span in which she gave 73 interviews. "MyGPAwentdowntoa2.6somy dad started helping me set up times to talk to people, and my GPA went back up to 3.3." After mowing down batters in Little League, Borders decided to give high school baseball a shot at Whittier Christian. And after impressing coaches and fans with her skills on the mound, she began searching for a college. "I sent tapes to college coaches because I was afraid that if people heard a girl was pitching, they would think it was just a novelty," Borders says. "I wanted them to

see what I could do." Borders says she heard a lot of good things about Southern California College, and after she visited the campus, she knew it was the school for her. "I was looking for a Christian school where I could play baseball that was close to the beach," she says. Although she has hopes of playing professionally, she knows she may have to take the long road to the major leagues . ''I' m willing to start in Japan ifthat's what has to happen," she says. "But this is something I really want to see through." Borders may get her chance. When Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda learned ofBorder' s accompli shments, he told The New York Times that he just might be interested. "If I can get somebody to win 20 games for me," he said, 'T II take her."

ICC: Vice chairperson resigns due to differences with members Continued from Page 1 representatives in order to make me look bad. He would try and paint out an image of me as being an irresponsible vice chairperson, who never tried to communicate with him, or any club representatives. He placed himself above me and has hated me since day one," Ackerman said. According to Jenkins, however, Ackerman never put forth half as much effort as vice chairperson as A~kerman claims he did. Jenkins said that Ackerman would seldom show up for ICC meetings, and when he did, he showed no apparent interest or had anything to say. Jenkins said that Ackerman rarely tried to approach him regarding any ICC related events, and when Ackerman did, Jenkins claims he handled the situation in a professional manner. "I am not a dictator, rather I am a faci I itat or and a mediator between the clubs," said Jenkins. Jenkins said that Ackerman would never show up for any clubrelated events, namely club days,

The clubs simply wanted a more central leadership from the vice chairperson, whereas I wanted to give them more freedom, and let them handle matters amongst themselves," Ackerman said. Chris Hellsner, a representative from the Latter Day Saints Student Association, said, "Jim Ackerman showed no desire as vice chairperson . He seemed bored all of the time." Jenkins claims that he asked Ackerman to resign several months ago, and told him to join the Associated Student Government instead. "Ackerman was always trying to spark talks about an ICC unification with the ASG. He showed a lot of favoritism towards the ASG, and

Van Wiedemann, vice president of the Women'sMovementToward Autonomy Now club, said, "He represented our clubs in a non-professional manner. We have no confidence in Ackerman's ability to represent our clubs due to his physical appearance. He is not taken seriously as a vice president, and also as a professional." Wiedemann added, "Ackerman was not hygienic." Club representatives have often complained about Ackerman's personal hygiene . "Jim Ackerman's appearance is very uncleanly," Hellsner said. Jenkins said that he asked Jim Bowen, director of Student Activi-
ties, to address the hygiene issue to Ackerman, and according to Jenkins, Bowen did so. When asked about the situation, Bowen said that the issue was private and that he had no comment regarding Ackerman's hygiene. "All I can say is that he resigned due to irreconcilable differences," said Bowen. When asked about the hygiene issue, Ackerman said, "It's my business, and people should leave it at that."

"Some members of the federal government are trying to take my dream away from me," she said. "All of my hard work will be taken away (if financial aid is cut)." Susan Gorman, a sophomore at Georgetown, said her brother is also in college and her sister will be going to college next year. She said her father died of lung cancer in
April, which left her family "emotionally and financially devastated." Her financial aid package at Georgetown increased this year, and she was able to return to the university. But she added that she and her sister are realizing they might have to transfer to schools closer to home if their financial aid is slashed. "The government has failed to consult the students about cuts in financial aid," Georgetown student Carlyn McVey said. "Just as (Rep. John) Kasich (R-Ohio) has the abil-

George Washington freshman Doug Minier, who is the internship coordinator for the GW chapter of the College Democrats, said about 60 percent of GW students are on financial aid, and the cuts are going "to really hit our pocketbooks." He said students can make a difference if their voices are heard. Miner said a national rally is tentatively being planned for the beginning of April.
Seminar held to help students quit smoking • Palomar students discuss why they smoke and learn methods to help them kick the habit Kimberly Berg Staff Writer
Students attending a "Quit Smoking" seminar March 7 said they were "tired of the habit, not so much the craving." Thirteen students attended the seminar for Palomar students. organized by Pam Webb of Student Health Services. Guest speaker Janet Holzwarth, M.S. from Kaiser PermanenteClairemont, said that smoking is a learned behavior that can be unlearned. Holzwarth also said that the key factors to learning how to quit smoking are in the timing and in having the desire. The seminar consisted of Holzwarth asking questions like why the students attended the seminar and how they were going to quit. The students gave their personal input. They added that smoking is a hassle and that it is not enjoyable, but they continue doing it. The students agreed that they no longer wanted to continue smoking and they just needed suggestions on how to stop. Holzwarth said that people quit smoking because it is inconvenient, for health reasons, social reasons and because they do not have enough money to pay for cigarettes on a

Smoking can be stopped, Holzwarth said, by first identifying personal health risk situations and then learning strategies to manage urges to smoke. She suggested that students keep a diary of their smoking habits, feelings and the situations in which they tend to smoke. She concluded by saying, "Awareness is the first step. You can an do it. Stay on course. "Social support, relapse prevention, and a nicotine patch are the three things needed when you decide to quit smoking," Holzwarth said.

Six of the I 2 weeks are spent living in a dorm and obtaining studies in nautical science and oceanography. "It's not so much research oriented as it is educationally oriented," said Meyers. The final six weeks are spent at sea in ships that are approximately I 50 feet long with cramped living quarters and very limited fresh water. The Sea Educational Association (SEA) has two vessels that continually rotate in and out of port for a total of 290 days at sea. Students are not only required to maintain their individual projects but also have to help run the boat. "Students start out with a lot of textbook knowledge that they learned from the scientists, but most of them have no practical knowledge," Meyers said.

The Resolution was positioned in the northern part of the Western Antilles Arc, where the Caribbean and Atlantic Tectonic Plates meet, to conduct various oceanography projects sponsored by the U.S . government, several foreign countries and Texas A&M. Meyers was there to test and record the sediment within the fault line. Since the project was a joint effort with several nations, communicating with one another was difficult at times. She and her scientific colleague from Spain worked as a team to catalog tubes of drilled ocean floor eight feet in diameter. They spent hours categorizing color, texture, composition and the debris in each of the samples.

In an attempt to eliminate obstacles in the classroom and improve communications between teachers and students, the March 24 Learning Forum will focus on disability awareness throughout the school. The forum will be held at 2 p.m. in the Faculty Lounge. According to Ron Haines, director of Disabled Student Programs and Services, the purpose of the forum, titled "A Collaboration of Teacher-Learner: Success for Students with Disabilities," is to inform the faculty and college about disabled students, and to help the college accommodate disabled students in a better way. "I would like for the college to be more aware of the various types of disabilities students have, and how to be able to incorporate those students in the classroom," Haines said.
fD
help teacher-student relatians
Haines added that the school has to be accessible to people with disabilities, and provide reasonable accommodations as well, according to the American Disability Act. A panel consisting of DSPS faculty members and disabled students will be speaking at the forum, in addition to other school faculty members. Students will be providing an insight on how it feels be disabled and what they must endure daily, to let the faculty know how it would feel to be in their shoes, Haines said. In addition, faculty members will be asking students questions, in order to reach an understanding of the problems at hand, he said. Some key issues which will be discussed are the hidden disabilities not so apparent in students. "A student may be a great person, well-liked by his teachers and peers, and often the best student in the class also. But when a test or
quiz comes up, no matter how hard that student may have studied, he just can't remember anything. That's a learning disability," Haines said. Another example is psychological disability, which in mostca cs is not visible. According to Haines, some students with a psychological disability may go through a semester without any teachers or students becoming aware of the problem. Vicki Olmos, a student who has cerebral palsy and dyslexia, said the LeamingForum should make a positive statement on the faculty and students at Palomar. "The forum is a really good thing, and it will help people to get along better. It's about time we had a disability awareness Learning Forum at Palomar," said Olmos. "With the Learning Forum we hope to eliminate the prejudices against disabled students by establishing a quality contact, and making a change," Haines said.

Dead men don't talk. But their graves do. Well, sort of. That is the reason that Charles Hanlen, a history teacher at Palomar, has visited the graves of all the dead presidents. Han len traveled to the gravessometimes sleeping in the back of his truck-during a sabbatical I 0 years ago. He says that he wanted to see if the presidents' grave sites were related, in terms of quality and extravagance, to their historical ratings as presidents. "I can honestly tell you that very few people have done so (vis-ited the graves) in the whole country," said Hanlen. Hanlen says that it was something that he had always wanted to do. Over 20 states and 7,000 mi Ies later, Han len came to a conclusion or lack of one. "As it turns out there was no correlation at all,"
said Hanlen. "Not really." Lincoln, one of the most revered presidents in American history, had in his opinion the best grave site, explained Han len. But, Han len added that Lincoln's modern designation was created after his grave site was made. "On the other side of it, Harding-who is normally considered the worst president that we ever had-had a very nice grave site," said Hanlen. "It's a Valhala, literally." "Some of the forgettable presidents have fairly decent grave sites," said Hanlen. William J. Harrison, who served only a month, had a very pleasant grave site in the opinion of Hanlen. Hanlen said that although it is hard to draw a common link among all of the grave sites, there is a link to be found in the better ones. "The martyrs tended to do best... those who had been killed," said Han len.

Arguably one of the most powerful presidents ever to hold office, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FOR) served three terms and died three months into his fourth term.
Hanten explained that many of the graves are attractive creations, but, if pressed for a favorite, he would chose Hoover's. "It is very dignified, very serene, not ostentatious in any way and I liked that one the best," said Han len. "It had a quiet dignity that I liked. "Graveyards-if you pay attention to them-are absolutely fascinating and can tell you a great deal about the community," said Han len. "While viewing Zachary Taylor's grave I noticed a large open space behind it and I inquired as to what it was," said Hanten. "As it turns out, it was a mass grave for the burial of blacks," Hanten explained. Han len says that viewing presidents graves can also give you a historical insight into the life the president led in office. He explained that McKinley was considered a war president, and in the inside of the rotunda where he is buried is an inscription that reads: "The greatness of a nation is not determined by how it wages war, but by how it wages peace." Other presidents have graves that give a glimpse into their personal lives. "Both Andrew Johnson and Franklin Roosevelt had their dogs buried with them," said Hanten. Hanten explained that to the left of Andrew Jackson's grave all of his family was.buried while to the right was one lone grave, Jackson's personal slave. "Healways wanted to be buried with Jackson," said Han len of the slave. Still, even presidents can't have everything they want. "Roosevelt wanted to have a slab of Vermont marble laid over his grave and the damn thing was going to weigh 20 to 30 tons," said Han len. He said it was decided it was going to be too heavy and it might crush the coffin so they placed it to the side. While visitingthesites,Hanlen said that he learned some things that he had never heard of before.
How history would have been forever altered had the Confederacy won the Civil War and Jefferson Davis became president.
Hediscoveredthatailofthepresidents have a wreath of palms sent to their grave site on their birthdays with a card that says "The President." Hanlen explained that in some instances it took many phone calls and letters to be able to have a personal viewing of the graves, but his position helped him out. "In some cases they literally gave me the key," said Han len. "At Grant's tomb in New York you can no longer go into the lower level, you have to look down ... and they let me go down there." Funding for the continued maintenance of these sites come from various sources, he said. Hanlenexplainedthatsometimes the money comes from the family
while other times it comes from public sources. "Garfield, who has no particular reputation as a president, has a grave site that is really quite ornate ... from public subscription," said Han len. Han len says that all of the graves should be maintained in the state they were in when they were first made. "I really do believe that their grave sites should be maintained because like it or not, they (the presidents) reached the highest office in the land," said Han len. He said that he doesn't have a fixation with death and other rnacabre subjects, but that he simply finds graveyards fascinating. "It is just a different way to view people."

"Out of the I 0 years of off-andon attending Palomar, Martinie is the best teacher I've had. I highly recommend him," said Rhonda Pauley, a student who is in his morning History I 06 class. Adds Jessica Me Cabe, who attends the same class, "His lectures are alive and very interesting." In fact, last semester Martinie underwent his regular three-year performance review, required for full-time faculty. Students were asked to evaluate teachers on their

strengths and can give suggestions on how they can improve. Associate Professor Dr. Michael Newbrough headed the review and was not surprised by the results. "His reviews are always very good. Students just like his classes. Martinie is a very entertaining guy," said Newbrough, who is also a longtime friend. Ironically, all this praise is toward a man who finds history not all that important. Martinie just sees history as another s ubject like literature that involves the motivation of people in a certain time period. Forget about the saying, "We are doomed to repeat hi story if we forget it.'' Martinie wants no part of that. "Thi s business that yo u learn lessons from hi story or that yo u arc doomed to re peat the errors of the past, I think that is a bit o f a simpli stic idea . My emphasis is more on understanding the motivatio ns of people , the functi o ns of people." Martinie adds. Al so part of Martinic's phil osophy to pique the students' c uri os it y is the no-date theory. He firmly believes that dates turn hi story into what it's not, which is about people . " I don' t have any dates. I think that's a good way to kill interest in history, to make it stati stical and dry." Martinie said . Instead, Martinie likes to usc hi sto ry to bring today' s topics into
context. He loves discussion and allows students the freedom to use history as a platform for today's issues. Martinie views this making history alive and of course, to pique that curiosity. "I think that good history is to see, because if the history is focused on the individuals that made the history, and the people who respond to history, then that gives me the chance to deal with current individuals and problems," Martinie said. Martinie also looks to the future with his views on history . He is a huge fan of ''Star Trek" and has admitted he is a trekkie. He sees many works of history and literature mirrored in the show . One day during a lecture he went on a tangent with his students about the film "Stargate" and all the Egyptian influences on the film . Again . getting the curiosity going.

Now that day 2.371 x I 056 of the Major League National Continuing Punchline has come and gone, the time of reckoning is at hand. Whining players and owners will finally find out who owns baseball-the fans. When the owners threatened to put replacement players on Major League fields on opening day, a debate opened up as to whether these fields are sacred ground, and only to be used by those gifted enough to call themselves big-leaguers. Fans are divided, wondering whether or not replacement players should be allowed on the fields. Three words: Let them play. Forget about calling the National Labor Relations Board. Forget about mediators or arbitrators. The fans have the power to decide who wins this endless battle of egos. Check - your wallets . . . the answer lies within. Tired of millionaire players complaining that they just can't make enough money? Support the owners ." Go to the replacement games. Spend a little green to show that you are going to watch baseball no matter who plays. Ageless Cubs announcer Harry Caray summed it up thusly : "It's not Major League Baseball, but it's baseball, and it's still the greatest game in the world." Conversely, fans have the power to boycott the sport altogether. Let the owners' investments fail. Do not buy tickets, caps, shirts, jackets or any other paraphernalia. Tell the owners that the players are Americans and have the right to earn whatever they can. The almighty dollar is a greater motivator than the most powerful figure of government. By deciding who gets the dollars, fans will decide which side cracks first. The game itself is greater than the sum of its parts (the players). Whether or not the actual Major Leaguers continue to play, baseball will continue. Putting the replacement players on the fields will bring the consumers into play, and in turn bring the strike to a head more quickly and more fairly than any mediator, arbitrator or labor relations board could. The outcome would be based on what the consumers demand rather than who has the better lawyer, and it is the consumers who deserve the fair outcome because it is they who pay the salaries and truly own the game of baseball.
Should replaceme_!ll players be allowed in Major League games?
With Opening Day about two weeks away, people are beginning to wonder if bigleague players will ever take the field again. Should Opening Day proceed without the real Major Leaguers?
Replacements, scabs, scrubs, whatever you want to call them, spring just isn't the same with them playing our national pastime. Replacements serve only one purpose, fill the owners' pockets with money. If the strike is going to go on during a season, the owners shouldn't be able to profit from baseball ifttie real players aren't going to play. The owners should have to see how it is to try and live with no revenue coming. The owners always say the players are greedy. What about the owners not turning over the profit/loss statements to the Major League Baseball Players Association? What don't the owners want the players to see? How much money they're making? Playing "real" games with replacement players also is unfair to the fans. Are we supposed to pay the same amount to watch a bunch of scrubs that wish they could play? If I have to pay four bucks to park, and three bucks for a beer, let alone five dollars to sit in nosebleed seats, I want to see the real thing! If it were up to me, (and, sadly, it isn't) not one fan would show up to a single game. Then the owners would wake up and smell the empty cash registers. I understand that the replacement players are living a life-long dream to play in the major leagues, but do we have to suffer watching them? There are college teams that would give these guys tough competition. People, like the owners, say that the show must go on. Bullcrap! The show doesn't have to go on. If both sides had to sit through a whole year without a paycheck, they would settle their differences at world record pace. Donald Fehr, the head of the players' union, is going to get paid no matter what, so he doesn't care how long this thing goes on. Until the players get a clue and get Fehr out, this thing will go on for quite awhile. To solve this thing, two things need to happen. First, replacements have to go. That will make the owners want to resolve this dispute quickly . Second, the players need to get rid of Fehr. This will speed up things because player representatives from each team have to be more flexible than Fehr, th·~ most stubborn man alive. To tell you the truth, I could care less if baseball is played or not. But, hell will freeze over before I spend one cent on a scab game.

"I'm not really involved in sports, but I think that replacement players should have the right to play."
"I think they should [be allowed] so that other players who really want a chance can play."
"I wish baseball didn't exist at all. I think it's medieval and a waste of time."
"Yes. It keeps the baseball fans [occupied] while the strike is on."
"Yes. Baseball is just like any other industry. When people in the auto industry strike they just bring in replacements."

Hell
On Wheels Angela A. Logan
Be not afraid-we will not harm you Some of you might be wondering why my column is called "Hell On Wheels." If you haven'talready guessed, I'm in a wheelchair. I also speak my mind, and it's time someone offered some tips concerning the way people in chairs want to be treated. First of all, if you see a person in a chair comingtowardyou,GETOUTOFTHEWAY! This campus is all hills, and that makes it very difficult to get around. It is almost impossible to stop when you're careening downhill at warp speed. Likewise, when trudging uphill , stopping breaks your momentum and makes it difficult to get to the top. Just imagine walking around all day using only your arms . Many people also wonder what they should do if they see a person in a chair struggling with something. Answer: Offer to help. Some people in chairs are very independent and don't want any help, but they will tell you that. On the other hand, some chair dwellers may need assistance, but may be hesitant to ask a stranger to help. Personally, I don't like to impose on people who might not be comfortable helping, so I probably won ' t even ask. However, I am grateful to people who do offer their assistance. Another suggestion I have is-don't stare. Your parents probably taught you this when you were little, but some of you seem to have forgotten . It's OK to look at us and smile. You can even say "hello" if you are so inclined, but please don't stare. We live our lives being singled out for being different, so having people stare at us everywhere we go can make us feel like aliens. Sometimes, when a person is staring at me, I wonder if I have something hanging out of my nose. Also, just because you have spoken with one of us a few times, don't assume it gives you the right to ask, "What the hell happened to you?" If I want to tell you what happened to me, I will. I usually do. But not everyone feels that way. A person who lives in a wheelchair has to face this question daily, and it's tiring answering the question repeatedly. The most important thing people in chairs want you to know is that we want to be treated like everybody else. Even though we require some special accommodations, we really just want our lives to be as normal as possible. While the "politically correct" term for us is "physically challenged," we still park in "Handicapped" parking spaces, and go to the "Disabled Students" office for help. Some students are adamant about the P.C. terms, but I couldn't care less. If you really want to get my attention, just yell, "Hey, good-lookin' !"

Money earmarked for campus used by ASG What do Palomar's Associated Student Government and the U.S . Congress have in common? Apparently the answer is wasteful and sneaky spending, judging by recent legislative trends on campus which have in-cluded the funding of a $15,000 trip by the ASG to Washington, D.C. and $6,000 worth of new furniture for their office. In appropriating funds in February for the office furniture, the board packaged the legislation with an amendment that allotted money for campus improvements. The furniture and improvements were on the same bill, despite the fact that each
Perhaps they swapped notes on things like the legislative packaging described above. In theory, the trip, which which is funded by the Student Rep. Fee, is a worthy expenditure. It allows the ASG to do one of its duties-lobbying the federal government on behalf of the students. What is questionable, however, is the fact that $15,000 was allocated to send I 0 people. Meanwhile, most other schools at the conference managed the same job with only two to four students. The ASG should consider its spending more carefully and not send board members just so they won't feel "left out."

AIDS coverage was insensitive I am writing to express concerns I have regarding your coverage of HIV in last week's Comet (sic). Although I applaud any and all information regarding this medical condition, I would like however like to take this opportunity to let you know how tasteless and truly insensitive your choice of illustration was. Using the "Speak No Evil" analogy implies that people living with HIV are evil in some way. Greg Louganis and others like him, regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation have done nothing wrong. Using the word "evil" in connection with those who are .Jiving with such a devastating illness is thoughtless and could be considered hateful. The artist's intention may not have been

came from entirely different budgets. In addition, the money was never advertised as available to other departments. Judging by these actions, the statement from the ASG was that they weren't going through with these improvements for the campus unless they could get their office furniture as well. Packaging legislation like this is a common practice in government, but it doesn't have to be for the ASG. Ironically, the Washington trip coincided with the installation of the office furniture. While other departments were grappling for the ASG's old hand-me-down furniture, the members spent five days lobbying Congress.

malicious. But I'm sure there are people who consider Mr. Louganis evil because of his lifestyle, and would use illustrations such as this as a justification for their homophobia. In regards to the opinion of Kimberly Berg, I find her statements ignorant at best, and downright insulting. Ms. Berg used terms like, "they are not promoting an image that is in line with social standards" and "his silence, even as a doctor repaired his wound, is a sin." Who is setting the standards, Jesse Helms? Does Ms. Berg feel people with cancer are promoting the right image, or are they sinful too? Need I remind you that the "Scarlet Letter" is a story about how a woman and her child were branded and ostracized by a town of closed-minded people? Information regarding HIV should be encouraged. Hate and ignorance should not.
Diversity is far more important than unity. Sameness begets stagnation and the inability to adapt to the ever-changing environment that is Earth. Just as businesses must compete, so should governments compete and adapt to the changing requirements of geographically disperse and culturally different people. A oneworld government [has] no competitor. I view with trepidation [people] who seek solutions in government and its ability to compel others, rather than solve problems by voluntarily cooperating with others. In seeking security by establishing a world government, they enslave us all.

Life, suffering and the sounds of Duhka • Local band serves up a well-balanced CD Local Music Box Peter Sansom Entertainment Editor
Breaking into the music business isn't easy. In fact, it can be downright humbling at times. Just ask Tyler Crowley, songwriter/ guitar player for the local band Duhka. "I wenttoputourdisc (titled "Grand Slam," the CD cover has the band's name on a Denny's sign) and I saw a sticker of another band, The Meices, who also do their name like that. .. in the Denny's logo," said Crowley. "And I asked the guy behind the counter, who is this Meices band? And he says, 'I don't know, but lean tel l they suck because of the way they use the Denny's logo on their cover."' Crowley didn't shop the band's album to that store. Since its inception last August, Duhka has been gaining a local listening audience with theirpunklalternativedebut. Only 24 minutes in length, the disc offers a well balanced serving of styles. Some songs like "Devil" are guitar-driven, groove inspired, adrenaline pumpers. While other tracks like "Mother" feature acoustic
guitar, coupled with soothing vocals. About half of the album's tracks are fast punk styled songs. The rest of the songs are raw strippeddown numbers, using only acoustic guitar and vocals. On two of the songs Crowley sings and plays guitar by himself. Musical variety help keep the album fresh, listen after listen. Part of the album's spontaneity comes from its production. A majority of the songs were written within a week of the studio recording, while some songs Iike "Shoot Some Classmates" were done as the tape was rolling. Singer Billy Circles simply sang along with Crowley's impromptu, jangling rhythm guitar. Circles' singing stands out on the album. He wails along with the fast songs, and keeps a sweet tone on the slower ones. His voice compliments Crowley's guitar playing, creating a stylish, sonic assault. Production quality on the album is superb.
The downfall of some independently labelled discs is their poor sound quality. However, on "Grand Slam" the band comes through clean and crisp. A tribute to good production work. Crowley said that he decided where to record after hearing a single from San Diego locals, Lucy's Fur Coat. "They were playing 'Treasure Hands' on the radio a lot and I wanted to go where they did because it sounded amazing," said Crowley. After locating the Mouse House recording studio, the band went in and laid down some tracks. All but three are on their debut album. "We went up there with our rehearsed songs well, we thought they were rehearsed- and we kinda flailed in the studio, but the recording came out good," said Crowley. "So we're like, let's press some CDs, and we printed them up easy as pie." Crowley didn't expect the album to fare as well as it has. He said that everything that turns up is a new surpri$e and he likes to keep
a laid-back attitude toward it all. "More of the CDs get sold by word of mouth, like from my sister, than anything. Store sales are only 20 percent," he said. He came up with the band's name from a Religion I 00 class at Palomar. "We got onto the topic of Buddhism and the name (Duhka, spelled Dukkha) came up so much that it stuck," said Crowley. "I just thought it was funny how the name sounds like crap, and it addresses the issue that life is crap." "Dukkha" literally means that life is suffering. Crowley says that he is actually not that much of a pessimist, just a realist. Some of the songs, like the band's name, deal with the fact that things happen that suck. Crowley attributes his rhythm-focused guitar playing to his job. ''I'm working at a guitar store all day, listening to people weedledeedle and do all kinds of weird stuff on guitars ... so I try to avoid that," said Crowley. He considers himself more of a songwriter than a guitar player, and writes his songs based on personal experience. "It just depends on what happened to me the day I write the song ... ifl talk to my sister ~nd she is mad then that could come out in the song," Crowley said. "I don't use any set formula for writing the songs." Formula or not, it sounds like this soft spoken song writer is onto something. Whatever the future holds, Crowley will undoubtedly keep it in perspective. "I would pay to do this, the fact that we are making money is just really nice."
'Bye Bye Love' sheds a comical light on divorce ••••••••••••••••
Movie review ••••••••••••••••
***
Chad Rebmann Staff Writer
Ever since 1989's "Parenthood," there has been a shortage of good family fare at the movies. More importantly, few of therecent films have tackled the situation of C::ivorce in the family with any real integrity. So it was refreshing to see the new comedy "Bye Bye Love" tackle both family and divorce with a genuine honesty while providing lots of laughter. Taking place over a 48 hour period, the film stars Paul Reiser, Matthew Modine and Randy Quaid as three divorced dads who get week-
end custody of their kids . The film begins at the neighborhood McDonald's, a neutral territory where the divorced parents can quickly exchange the children. Then the film becomes a view of these three dads juggling with dirty diapers, figuring out the best way to give their kids a bath and attempting to play the dating game during their kids' weekend custody stay. The best performance from this trio of dads comes from Reiser of TV's "Mad About You" fame. Reiser plays Donny, whose stormy relationship with his 14-year-old daughter provides a crux for the film. Like the tone of the comedy, Reiser's performance is both funny and sad, as he tries to cope with his daughter's rebellious nature. Quaid steals every scene he's in and gives impeccable comic timing during his blind date from hell. Quaid's dad is the one you feel for the most, because while his rei a-

tionship with his three kids is good, his ex-wife delights in making him angry. It seems to be her hobby. While Quaid and Reiser give solid performances it's Modine's character and acting that is subpar. Modine portrays number three dad Dave as a passive romantic who can't make a commitment to any one woman. There's a few situations that Dave gets into that have

potential for some real humor, but Modine destroys this by staring off into the camera all the time. Rounding out the cast is acclaimed director and actor Rob Reiner who provides the narrative for the voice of media psychiatrist Dr. Townsend, a character that adds a nice touch to the comedy. Throughout the film he runs a commentary on "Divorce in the
'90s," paralleling the trio of father's comic mishaps. Even though the film is aimless, with no real climax or event that signals the end, "Bye Bye Love" is definitely worth seeing. The movie aims to be a simple view of divorce while being sadly honest about its affect on the family and nothing more. The film succeeds with the help of laughter.

~Aku Francis T. Crowley When we think of the price of alcohol we cringe at the cost of a bottle, a six-pack and topshelf mixed drinks. The prices at the bars are even worse. That is why happy-hours are so popular. Getting more blast for your cash. Lets add up the cost of two hours at a bar followed by a drunk driving arrest. The drinks may be very economical at $1 each. Four drinks within two hours, a slow pace by most standards, wi II put you over the legal limit to drive, even if you're a large man. A woman, whose body size is generally smaller, but whose body carries more fatty tissue and less water than men, will become more intoxicated than a man the same size, thus, less drinking will still obtain illegal levels. Onefortheroad. You miscalculate your turn and run off the road hitting and knocking
down a utility pole with traffic signals. You tell yourself that you only took your eyes off the road for a second, and there must be some logical explanation for this accident happening. Since the utility pole fell into traffic, hitting three cars and causing another vehicle to crash into a fire hydrant, you may be responsible for additional damages. Here's looking at you. Any decent attorney will charge $1000 to begin, then add on all the litigation. Add on the courts fines, and administrative costs, along with the replacement of the utility pole and fire hydrant, and your happy hour may cost close to $50,000. But you say you have insurance. You should say, you had insurance. Now think of how you will explain this scenario to your friends and family, plus your instructors, as you have to quit school and work ninety hours a week to pay for your happy hour. Maybe that's what
"Think Before You Drink" means. Not only will the courts look back on your record for the next seven years, but so will any insurance carrier you choose. That also should be added onto the cost of your bar tab. Possible tips for avoiding a drunk driving arrest Our alert readers have given suggestions to avoid getting arrested if you happen to be pulled over after having been drinking. •Do not dare the police officer. •Do not offer to buy the officer a drink. •Do not continue singing "My Sharona" after the officer begins talking to you. •Do not offer your knowledge about his job. •Do not bribe him . •Do not call him "Jerky Boy."

LET MARCH MADIIII BIOIRI 1995 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament WEST REGIONAL EAST REGIONAL
Everything you always wanted to know about March Madness .. )mt were afraid to ask College Press Service
(!)UCLA ( 16) FLA . INTL
OK, it's that time of year again. You're tuning into ESPN instead of studying for exams. And you've devoted one wall of your dorm room to elaborate charts and probability equations in a fruitless attempt to predict which men's college basketball teams will land in the NCAA's Final Fout. Congratulations. You've got March Madness. But have you ever wonder how some teams make it to the tourney at all? Or how the NCAA comes up with its rankings? Well, then read on. • Throw out those records Every year, a few teams at and below .500 sneak into the NCAA tournament. This year is no exception, as Florida International University men's basketball team, at 11-18, earned an invite to the big dance by defeating Mercer 68-57 for the Trans America Athletic Conference tournament championship and an automatic NCAA berth. FlU becomes the city of Miami's first NCAA tournament team in 35 years. "It still hasn't sunk in yet," said senior guard Matt Tchir. "This feels like a dream come true." But the dream may turn nasty quickly, as the Golden Panthers are sure to draw a bottom seed. Faced with the task of playing one of the top four teams in the nation in their opening game, FlU doesn't exactly have history on its side. Since the NCAA switched to a 64-team tournament in 1985, teams seeded in the 16th slot in the four regionals are a combined 0-40. Teams seeded 15th haven't fared much better, finishing 2-40. • "On any given day ... " While the bottom seeds rarely upset the top seeds in the NCAA tournament, there are always upsets during the conference tourneys. This year was no exception, as MCC regular-season champ Xavier joined Coppin (MEAC), Tennessee State (Southern), Stetson (TAAC) and Santa Clara (WCC) as first-place finishers to lose in the first round of their cc.nference tournament. Better luck next year, guys. • Decade of Dominance II? No one's talking about another dynasty ju ·t yet, but UCLA, the nation 's No. I team, i hoping to find themselves at the top of the cdlege basketball world on April3 in Seattle. If the top-ranked Bruins were to capture the NCAA tourney crown, it will be the school's first championship since 1975, when the team ended a string of I 0 titles in 12 years. Led by senior Ed O'Bannon, coach Jim Harrick's Bruins are earning the praises of e\ eryone, including legendary coach John \\ ooden, the architect of that Lew Alcindor-Bill Walton basketball dynasty. "They are putting it all together at just the right time," Wooden said after the Bruins 91-73 victory over Louisville on March 5. "They seem to get it done every time." •UK3 University of Kentucky fans know the Wildcats can shoot from beyond the three-point line. But if the team continues landing three-pointers in the tournament, everyone else in the nation will know as well. On March 5, the fifth-ranked Wildcats (22-4) hit 20 three-pointers, bombing Louisiana State, 127-80, in their regular-season finale. LSU coach Dale Brown was stunned. '' I thmk the only people on their bench who didn't make one were the coaches," he said. "Did their equipment manager make one?" Hitting 57 percent of their threes, the Wi ldcats didn'treceive help from their equ ipment manager, but involved just about everyone else. Junior guard Tony Delk hit six of eight from beyond ttie ark, finishing with 27 points. Guard Chris Harrison hit four threes

SOUTHEAST REGIONAL Graphic by Jeremy Lynch
while junior forward Rodrick Rhodes and Anthony Epps added three each. If the Wildcats stay hot, they may beat Loyola Marymount 's 1990 record for three-point baskets in the tournament, when that team hit 21 in a 149-115 second-round win over Michigan. LM' s JeffFryer holds the tournament individual record with II during that same contest. • By the numbers While pre-season rankings and mid-year polls often are hot topics of discussion for college basketball fans, the talk turns to a whole new set of numbers by tournament time. Since 1981 , the NCAA has used the Rating Percentage Index (RPI) to determine the selection anj seeding of teams in the tournament. The RPI is based on a combination of the following three facto rs:
• First , the team 's winning percentage equals 25 percent of the RPI. • Second, schedule strength equals 50 percent. • Third, opponent's schedule strength equals 25 percent. Games against non-Division I opponents are not used in team records and aren't part of the RPI. According to the RPI (as of March 6), the top college basketball team is Kansas, with an RPI of 6,674. UCLA, the top team in newspaper association polls, ranks ninth on the RPI, with a rating of 6,362. There are some noticeable differences when you compare Associated Press rankings with the RPI. Unranked teams such as Tulsa, who missed out on the au tomatic bid for the Missouri Valley conference when they lost to Southern Illinois in the tournament championship game, ranks 18th on the RPI, ahead of
Syracuse and Purdue. For teams on the bubble, the RPI can be a big boost when it comes to at-large bids. Michigan, Indiana and Illinois had lackluster seasons, but with RPI ran kings of 42, 23 and 24 respectively, they look like locks for the NCAA tournament. Despite their 23-3 record, Western Kentucky ranks 29th on the RPI, sligh tly ahead of 22-5 Utah, who sits at 3 1. For Pennsylvania, a 21-5 record is on ly good enough for a 5,503 RPI and a ranking at 83rd. Pennsylvania finished the regular season below 10-14 Kansas State, which ranks 81 st. Now that you know almost everything you need to know abou t March Madness, the 1995 version of the NCAA men's basketball national championship ca n offic ia ll y begin. Unfortunately for some it will have barely gotten started and it wi ll have ended before they could enjoy the experience.

All-American's come up big when it counts. Palomar's all-everything pitcher , Jennifer Ortiz, is no different. Ortiz tossed a no-hitter to lead Palomar, the state's number I team, to their 18th win of the season as the Comets dePalomar 4 feated San Diego City SDCity 0 College 4-0 in Wednesdays softball action. But don't expect Ortiz to brag about her performance. "I got a lot of strikeouts," said the modest pitcher,"But I didn't feel like I was throwing my best game." Ortiz pitched seven full innings while recording eight strikeouts, including an impressive four in row and five out of six batters in the second and third innings. A jubilant coach Mark Eldridge said that Ortiz's performance was, "Unbelievable, a great effort." After failing to score in the first inning, Stacey Androus got the Comets on the scoreboard as she ripped a double that brought in Julie Soderland, who also had doubled, and Candice Fode who had been hit by a pitch.

Palomar loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth but falied to score a run, keeping SDCC within striking distance. But unfortunately for City College, Ortiz wasn't through with them as she pushed San Diego through yet another three up, three down inning in the top of the fifth . Agrista Belford's tripl e knocked in another run for Palomar in the bottom half of the ti fth to put the score at 3-0. The sixth inning saw the Comets showing off their defensive skills as the third baseman Androus made a spectacular, Ozzie Smith like, diving catch for the first out of the inning. Fode then picked off the San Diego base runner trying to steal second and the shutout was preserved. Palomar added their final run of the game when Jennifer Funkhouser singled home Androus to close out the scoring. The outspoken coach Eldridge said after the game that his teams perfonnance was, "Absolutely magnificent." For the Comets Androus led all hitters in the game going 3for-3 with 2 RBis. Belford went 2-for-3 with an RBI and Soderlund went 1-for-3 for the Comets who with the win improve to 18-3.

Comet baseball wins big Rick Martinez Staff Writer
Greg Aiken turned in yet another stellar performance on the mound Tuesday for Palomar as the Comets routed San Diego City College 121 in Pacific Coast Conference play. Aiken pitched eight full shutout innings giving up only four hits to SDCC while striking out two batters. "I felt good and my change up was working great," said Aiken who picked up his third win in as Palomar 12 many decisions. "I just SD City 1 started throwing my change-up probably about three weeks ago, and it was on today ." Despite Aiken's performance on the hill, the Comets struggled at the plate through the first seven innings. PC got only two runs off four hits before exploding for I 0 runs off six hits in the bottom of the eighth. With Steve Rohlmeir and Ben
Duncan on base, Brent Long started off the Comets' fireworks at the plate by hitting a two run single into right-center field. The Comets added another run when Marty Camacho trotted home from third off a single. Tim Mulligan ' s grounder to SDCC's Kevin Vandebon brought home two more runs when Vandebon' s throw to home plate found the backstop. The offensive juggernaut was just getting started, however, as Brian Hudson's triple brought in two more runs. Rohlmeir, who had led off the inning with a walk, then stepped up and brought Hudson home when he hit a triple of his own. Brian Rose hit an RBI single that scored Rohlmeir and all that was left was a uneventful top of the ninth. Overall , Head Coach Bob Vedder liked his team's performance. "It took us a while to get on track offensively, but overall I thought
we performed real well," said Vedder. "Defensively we played a solid game and we got some great pitching out of Aiken today. He stayed ahead of the hitters, and he was in command the whole way." Kevin Wyatt came in to pitch the ninth and recorded the save as he put San Diego City to bed after giving up one run off only one hit. Long paced the Comets at the plate going 2-for-4 with two RBI. Mulligan went 1-for-5 and also picked up an impressive four stolen bases. "The pitcher had a high leg kick, and I felt that I could get a good jump on him, and I just did what I had to do." said Mulligan. "It was fun." But the afternoon belonged to Aiken and his change-up as he improved his record to 3-0 and gave Palomar their third conference win of the year, improving the Comets' overall record to 7-10.

Palomar volleyballers score early, cruise to easy win over Mt. SAC Michael A. LaRocchia Staff Writer
In sports it's known as being in the zone. It's an almost indescribeable feeling when everything an athlete does goes right. When a whole team is in the zone, it can be scary how good they can be. For the second straight match, Palomar' s men ' s volleyball team was in the proverbial zone. The Comets needed only three games to cruise past visiting Mt. San Antonio last Friday night 15-6, 15-4, 15-2 at the Dome. The recent success of the Comet volleyball team hasn't been a surprise to those close to tlie program. Former Comet volleyball
standout and current assistant coach , Karl Seiler, had a feeling about this year' s team . "We can go far this year," said Seiler. "We'll definitely make regionals if not state playoffs." Palomar was able to jump out to an early 50 lead in game one. However, Mt. SAC put together a run of its own that tied the game at 6 all. But that was Mt. SAC's only scoring, as the Comets rattled off nine unanswered points and took a 1-0 lead in the match. ¡Palomar used the momentum they picked up from game one to rout Mt. SAC in games two and three. Mt. SAC could only muster six points in the last two games combined.
Mt. SAC's only chance for a win was in game three, as the Comet second team was sent in . Still , Palomar's stingy defense wouldn'tlet Mt. SAC into the match, allowing only two points.
Matt Wilkinson played a clutch role again for the Comets with 36 assists and three aces. Steve McLaughlin dominated Mt. SAC's defense all night with a match high II kills.
No. I Grossmont smashes men's tennis Jeremy Lynch Sports Editor
Imagine yourself as the coach of a junior college men ' s tennis program and out of the blue six blue chip foreign tennis players show up for tryouts. What school do you coach at? Grossmont. Using all foreign players, the Grossmont Griffins dominated Grossmont 7 singles play to coast to an easy 7-2 vicPalomar 2 tory over the Comets . Despite the loss, Comet Head Coach Jim Miller remained optimistic about getting a second shot at Grossmont. "When we play these guys it could go either way," said Miller. "If we all play super tennis and catch them on an off day, we can beat them. Or we could lose 9-0."
MEN'S TENNIS
The only points that Palomar picked up on the day were the result of an injury to a Grossmont player in the No.4 singles match. Since the player was scheduled to play doubles later in the day, Grossmont had to forfeit both matches. Although Coach Miller was optimistic toward the future, he wanted to set the record straight that he wasn ' t happy about the Grossmont situation . "We played hard, and we're a very good team," said Miller. "Sometimes it's very frustrating. The highly touted Griffins use six foreign players and no one from the U.S . Not to say that Grossmont is doing anything illegal, but it brings up a few questions about recruiting and if illegal recruiting exists at the JC level. The Comets next face Southwestern on March 23 here at Palomar. 199~
