Internal disputes plague SpringFest • Student government divided over $1,500 contract with jazz musician Hollis Gentry Jeff Vize Staff \Vri te r

Set in motion by an impeachment attempt accusing the Vice President of-Social Affairs of physical assault, the Associated Student Government found itself in the midst of a small scandal last week that began with a struggle for power and now may end in a lawsutt against Palomar.

At the heart of the controversy was a move

by ASG President Merrill Tyler to renegotiate a contract with a SpringFest performer for $800 less than the $1 ,500 that had been agreed on by the musician and VIce President of ~ocial Affairs Carla Mays.

SpringFest '95, a two-day concert festival, was held March 21 and 22.

Tyler's actions came immediately after the announcement of an impeachment attempt of Mays which Tyler called a result of semester-long tension between Mays and the rest of the ASG. Although the impeachment is Carla Mays, ASG based primarily on Vice President Mays' alleged physical of Social Affairs and verbal attack on Executive Vice President Tony Mufioz after an argument with him March 15. it also Includes mention of Mays' accused lack of

Due to a lack of funding and a large increase in the number of students who use the tutorial services during the fall and spring, the Tutoring Center will be closed for the summer.

This unanticipated jump in tutoring services has increased the need for funding in spring and fall, lcavmg the summer semester with no available funding .

The funding fortutorial services offered at Palomar comes from the district. The only way to keep it operating is to have the distnct approve an mcrease in funding .

"It's not that the district has cut our funding, they just haven't increased it," smd Barnaba. "This may change if we are able to find additional revenues. but we don ' t anticipate this happening," said Barnaba.

According to Ruth Barnaba, assistant director of the Tutonng Center. the funds devoted to sustain the tutoring center during the summer semester were used instead to hire more tutors for fall and spring.

Barnaba contributes the increase of student tutoring to the fact that the tutoring center has a new location this semester, located on the first floor of the library. "We used to be located in an office by the cafeteria, but now that we're in the library, it's much easier to find us," she said.

Enza Scaduto, a tutor, said that the change in the tutoring center affects not only the students who receive income from their job as a tutor, but also the students who could benefit from the services.

"I have to look for another job now, but my

main concern is for the students who use the tutoring services," said Scaduto. "Summer classes require students to learn the same amount of informatiOn, but in a shorter amount of time," Scaduto continued .

"It's not fair," said Chns McLaughlin, a student who uses the tutoring center and has taken summer classes the last two years.

Scaduto said last summer was "the first time in a long time" that tutoring hPip has been offered for summer classes .

Student rescue team is for the birds, literally PINNELAS COUNTY, Fla.-Most college students would probably agree that studying is for the birds, but few would say that about their free time.

Unless, of course, they arc members of Eckerd College's Bird Rescue Program , a group of 30 student-volunteers who assist endangered birds throughout southwestern Florida.

Because ofFlorida' s dense wildlife and human population, birds often get snagged by fishing wire or injured by boats or cars.

Eckerd students help rescue and rehabilitate the injured birds.

"There is something very tangible about the work that is beneficial to the students," says Bill Covert, director of the college's Waterfront program. "You can hold a bird in your arms, bandage it, give it saline,

watch it heal and release it back into the \\ ild."

Taking turns working shifts, members of Eckerd's Bird Rescue team carry beepers so they can be immediately notified when their help is needed. Area residents call a rescue center when they sec a distressed bird, and the students take it from there.

Covert says that Bird Rescue seemed like a natural extension of the school's maritime search and rescue program. "We figured that we were already teaching and executing searches and rescues for people," he says, "so why not do them for birds, too?"

When the rescue team arrives on the scene to help retrieve the injured birds, they attempt to minimize injury to the bird

Some trapped birds can be freed and rehabilitated in a matter of days or even hours. Others, however, are not as lucky.

Last December,junior David Burowski answered the call to help save an injured scab1rd.

Students aim for success with comic book Kimberly Berg Stqff Writer

Palomar students Rob Kopp and Ian Hurst are pursuing a dream and making it a reality.

The two 18-year-o ld entrepreneurs are designing and producing their own comic series, entitled "BMFIC." Although they do not yet have a contract with a comic book company, Kopp and Hurst hope to gain experience at the San Diego Comic Convention July 27 at the San Diego Convention Center. Boyer said that he plans to release the first of the series at the conventic•n. "It is the biggest convention in the United States so it is a great chance for us to be seen ," Boyer said.

By the time the convention is in town, Boyer anticipates that the second, third and fourth books in the series will be either in full production or completed.

"We hope to get in there and sell our series," Kopp said. Until that time, Boyer said, we will solicit our book to Image Comics and Capital City Comics and try to sell our material internationally.

With friends and co-workers, Mitch Boyer and Curtis and Laz Berry, Kopp and Hurst have been working on their comic book series since December 1994. Boyer said that he personally has been working on the idea of the series and the characters for the past six years. The reason it has taken so long is because it is hard to get motivated to keep working on it."

The comic book series is about a "punklike boy who gets picked on by others who are more assertive than himself," Kopp said. "The main character is not a leader." Boyer said that the series is comparable to a "limited mini series." Each book contains a beginning, a middle and a conclusion, Boyer said.

Boyer said that the main reason he decided

Mitch Boyer, creator of the comic "BMFIC," drew this self portrait of the comic book staff. CL¡R> Boyer; lan Hurst, collaborator; Laz Berry, background art; Rob Kopp; art assistant and "motivational therapist;" and Curtis Berry, background art.

to do a series that conveyed a "darker gritty edge" to it was that it was original. He said that he did not want to create a "static book" or one that is like X-Men or Spiderman.

"Nobody really does these kinds of books.

That makes us different."

The purpose, Boyer said, was to make a comic book series that has excellent quality but does not have to conform to the establishment of other comic books.

Kopp said, "I'm the one who keeps everyone and everything in line."

Boyer is the head artist and editor of the comic book series. He also does the inking, which he said, takes the longest period of time. Boyer is also a free-lance artist in his spare time.

Hurst is the character artist and the Berry brothers are the background artists. Kopp said that they all Japanese animation fans.

Kopp is in his second semester at Palomar, and said he initially wanted to be a pilot until his junior year in high school. It was then that he realized that he wanted to be an artist. "It all evolved from a little platypus named Rupert that I created," he said.

He currently is working toward an associate's degree in art and wants to eventually earn a bachelor's degree in another subject so he will have something to fall back on.

In his spare time, he enjoys sword fighting, working out and has a part-time job. Kopp said one day he would like to plan and design his own comic book series.

Rebound, the lead charcter from the comic "BMFIC," is drawn by student lan Hurst. Hurst, along with a few friends, are trying to sell their comic to a professional comic book company.

Students do not seem to be prepared to do upper-level English work upon entering college; however, the lack of preparedness is not just a problem at the community college level.

According to information from a Telescope press conference Feb. 8, Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs said that over half of the freshman class at UC Berkeley has to take remedial English courses.

Remedial English classes such as English 10 and English 50 have been offered at Palomar for many years.

"Part of the problem is the lack of skill for some students in this type of class. There is a lack of skill because the class sizes are so large that it is impossible for students to receive one-on-one attention which is essential for these types of handson classes," said Aura Cuevas, English department chairperson .

Cuevas said that remedial English classes have always been offered at Palomar College, although there have not been as many students in the classes and there were not as many classes offered.

English as a Second Language (ESL) students are not often the cause for the overcrowded classes because they have separate classes for them. They do not tend to be in the regular classes because they are in ESL classes which are better designed for their needs.

For the current semester, there are 25 sections of English I 0, 41 sections of English 50, and 43 sections of English I 00 (college level English .. ) In all, there are 66 sections of remedial English classes.

"When a student comes to Palomar, it is assumed that they are able to write reasonably well, considering that they got through high school. But this is not always the case."

-

Aura Cuevas

English Dept. Chairperson

Cuevas said that a large number of students in these classes are returning students who just want to refresh their memories, and the remainder of students tend to be those who come to Palomar right out of high school.

"These students should have been prepared in high school," said Cuevas. " When a student comes to Palomar, it is assumed that they are able to write reasonably well, considering that they got through high school. But this is not always the case. There are students coming to us who have very little writing skills.

I don't know how some of them ever graduated," she said.

Cuevas said she feels that students who are in college level English classes are often at a disadvantage when compared to students in the remedial English classes.

"We are maxed out on room space, we are not able to offer as many college level courses, so that means students sometimes have trouble getting into the classes that they need, because the few that there are fill up so fast." But she adds, "We have to meet the needs of all of our students. It is lefrto us at the college level to educate students on material that they should have

learned in high school."

Nicole Fisher, a student in Professor Bruce Orton's English 50 class, said that when she was a student at San Pasqua) High School from 1987 to 1991 her English classes were mainly focused on literature rather than grammar. They were structured more for comprehension rather than good writing skills which are necessary for success in college.

Fisher said, "The teachers in high school were not prepared themset ves. There were 30 to 40 students per class which made getting oneon-one attention harder."

Fisher has also taken Steve McDonald ' s English IOclass which she said was helpful. "He kept his classes limited to a maximum of 28 students which made things better," she said. "He is great, always willing to help. I would strongly recommend him as a teacher for anyone who has trouble with English."

The problem has no easy solution. "The most fundamental reform is costly," Cuevas said. ''The answer would be to make high school classes smaller, but as overcrowded as our public schools are right now, that is not likely."

Reducing the number of students per class would allow teachers and students to work one-on-one with each other to master the skills necessary for students to succeed at the college level, said Cuevas.

According to Enrollment Office staff, the maximum number of students allowed in a remedial English class is determined by the size of the classroom in which the class is held and also by the individual instructor's preference as to how many students that instructor will allow to be in the class.

CONTROVERSY:

ASG in dispute over SpringFest

Continued from Page 1

discovered that her authority had been undermined by Tyler, she immediately contacted Dean of Humanities Gene Jackson. In turn, Jackson called Gentry and informally reinstated the original $1,500 contract.

Believing that the original contract was reinstated, Gentry prepared to sign it. Before he could fax it back, however, he received a phone call from Director of Student Activities Jim Bowen. According to Gentry, Bowen then described the conflict on the ASG "Bowen then tells me about the conflicts on the council and how [Mays) is really an island alone," said Gentry. "He proceeded to say that what Dean Jackson had worked out would not work.

"In a conciliatory effort, I told Bowen that my people were really looking forward to this payday," said Gentry. "We could talk about reducing my fee if it would help the program go on."

Understanding that the students were looking forward to the performance, Gentry told Bowen that he would cut his fee to $1 ,000. According to Gentry, Bowen then explained this to Tyler, who in turn called Gentry. After a brief conversation, Gentry said .that Tyler reluctantly accepted the $1 ,000 contract, which was signed and returned to the ASG. Gentry said he signed that con-

cooperation with the rest of the board.

Munoz, who is leading the impeachment attempt, claimed in a public letter that Mays attacked him on the afternoon of March 15 in the ASG office, calling him "inappropriate names" while punching and pushing him into a corner. Mays admits she used profanity with him, but denies the physical abuse.

"I did not touch him in any way shape or form. Ifl had punched him, he would be black and blue," said Mays. "He's mad because I had words with him . He doesn't like his power to be threatened."

Although Tyler said he did not use the impeachment as a direct reason for his actions related to the concert, he did say that he stepped in as a result of the same lack of cooperation alleged in the Munoz's letter. He said that Mays, whose job is to plan campus social events, has repeatedly acted against the rest of the ASG's wishes by not including their input for the planning ofevents.

"The money is not the issue, it's the manner in which she ignored everybody," said Tyler. "Had she brought it up on our ASG agenda it probably wouldn't have been a problem."

Tyler said that he chose to interfere with Mays' SpringFest planning as a result of the urging of several angry ASG members. They were upset because the event had gone over budget and they charged Mays continued to neglect the rest of the ASG's input.

Mays exceeded the $1,500 allocated for the event by $1, I 00. Mays, who in her position can authorize use of the social affairs and SpringFest funds without board approval, said she spent the extra money in an effort to provide quality entertainment. She said the extra $1, I 00 came from the general social affairs budget and added that there would still be sufficent funds to organize events for the rest of the semester.

Because the event was over budget, Mays said that she was instructed by Tyler to bring her proposal for informal approval at the ASG's March 15 meeting. Here, a consensus was reached for the approval of the extra expenditures with no objections. According to the minutes of the meeting, Tyler said that "the ASG might as well let her continue with her plans seeing as it was too late to begin changing."

Mays proceeded to make a contract offer to jazz musician Hollis Gentry for $1,500 later that day.

According to Gentry, $1 ,500 is his normal fee and he was paid this amount for his last concert at Palomar which was part of the Jan .

27 Dream Day festival. Gentry'~

"We've taken all these trips and we give all this money to CalSA CC and ASA CC but we go to spend this on a student event and they say we're spending too much. " - Carla Mays ASG VP of Social Affairs contract for Dream Day, however, was signed with the school district and not the ASG. Tyler, however, said that several board members came to him afterwards demanding that she not be allowed go over the SpringFest budget, saying that they felt excluded from the event.

According to Tyler, he asked Mays to call Gentry I 0 minutes after the ASG's March 15 meeting and renegotiate the deal. Mays said that she refused based on the fact that a consensus had been reached at the actual meeting and a deal had already been made.

Tyler disputes this, however, saying that he said that if there were any problems with the planning that there would be discussion after the meeting. In addition to that, Tyler said that Gentry never recieved an actual contract until later that evening. · Because of Mays' refusal to renegotiate the contract, Tyler said

"If Bowen [director of Student Activities] spends our money without our permission, I'm going after his job."

-Merrill Tyler ASG President that he acted on the will of the group when he called Gentry without her knowledge Friday, March 17.

"The ASG told me to bring it back to budget," said Tyler. "If it were up to me, I would pay the money, but I have to do what the rest of the ASG is saying. There's no way I'm going to go against the whole ASG." According to Gentry, Tyler told him on March 17 that Mays' original contract offer of $1,500 could not be honored because the money was not there.

"I received a fax from Merrill Tyler on Friday that said 'she is well within her jurisdiction ... however, she has exceeded her budget. Since she won't contact you, I am,"' said Gentry. "Then he faxed me a sheet that says if you can't do the concert for $700, there will be no concert. I called him back and said: 'There will be no concert."'

This is where what Gentry called "the madness" began. When Mays

tract believing there was not enough money and Mays had made a mistake in calculation.

"Then Carla comes to me and said that she had no idea this happened. She was very upset and showed me her financial records and says 'we've got the moneyit's right there. They just tricked you into knocking money off of your contract,"' said Gentry. "Everyone was leading me to believe that she was out of the loop and had no say over the matter."

As a result ofTyler overstepping his authority, Gentry, whose fiancee is an attorney, said he will now insist on his original fee and he is willing to pursue a lawsuit in order to secure it.

"It was really a breach of contract for me to be negotiating with anyone other than Carla," said Gentry. "Based on my legal advice if they don't pay me $1,500 we can and will take them to court where we can get I 0 times that. Then it will

"/think it's going to look bad for the ASG. They do have the money," -Jim Bowen Director of Student Activities

be the most expensive concert [the ASG] ever had."

On Monday, March 20, Bowen visited Tyler in an attempt to try and convince him to go with the $1 ,500 contract. Tyler said that he refused based on the fact that the ASG told him to bring the event back under its own budget and not dip into the social events account.

"I said, look, I've already put my neck on the line. We've already gone $600 over the [SpringFest] budget and in all the years past we've been able to do SpringFest for $1,500 [for the entire event in hiring several bands.]"

After this meeting, Gentry said he was called once again by Bowen on Monday. Understanding the potential ramifications of not paying the original fee, he told Gentry that in one way or another, he would receive $1,500. Then on Tuesday morning, Gentry said the situation changed yet again. ·"As I'm getting out of bed, I get a call from Mr. Bowen, saying 'you're going to have a hard time getting your money. The students control the money and they don't want to pay,"' said Gentry.

Mays called the sequence of events unbelievable and thinks that several members ASG are out for their own benefit as a group and not for the benefit of the students.

"You try to do something good for the school and they screw it all up," said Mays. "They were trying to kill this event. We've taken all these trips and we give all this to money toCalSACC [California Student Association of Community Colleges) and ASACC [American Student Association of Community Colleges) but we go to spend this on a student event and they say we're spending too much."

As of Thursday morning, ASG sources indicated that Gentry will most likely receive his original fee through the mediation of Bowen.

The payment may not come without a fight however, if Tyler has his way. According the ASG's bylaws, Bowen is not allowed access to ASG funds without approval.

"If Bowen spends our money without our permission, I't;n going after his job," said Tyler.

Bowen said that he only stepped in thinking of the best interests of the school and its students. "I think it's going to look bad for the ASG. They do have the money," said

Bowen. "This whole thing to me looks like they're upset with the process. Now is not the time to worry about that. We need to pay [Gentry]."

Several ASG members stand firm, however, in their refusal to compromise their principles. Senator Greg Armstrong said that he believes if the impeachment proceedings were held on today, Mays would be ousted. "If this were a corporation she would have been fired long ago," said Armstrong.

"You can'tjust go off and do your own thing."

Senator Ellen Noonkester echoed Armstrong's opinions and likewise accused Mays of not wanting to be included in the group, even on a personal level.

"When we went to Washington, D.C., we all really bonded. [The ASG] did everything together ... except for Carla. She went out partying in the name of lobbying," said Noonkester.

Mays defended herself against these accusations. "I was with Ivan Fishberg who is the director of a Higher Education lobbying group," said Mays. "Mr. Fishberg asked me to meet with him to discuss AmeriCorp in California and my work the Governor Pete Wilson."

As Jim Bowen sees it, however, resentment for the Vice President of Social Affairs position is nothing new. In fact, if Mays is impeached or resigns she will be the second consecutive person in that position to step down before the expiration of the term.

"We've had this same problem with the last three or four people who have been in here," said Bowen.

"Personally, I think if [Mays) had communicated better, we could have avoided this whole mess."

Although the impeachment, scheduled to begin on March 29, may succeed, several students and Palomar College staff at the March 22 meeting said they believed that a social events director like Mays is long overdue and losing her would be a mistake.

"I've seen her be very a,;tive," said Tim Wilmott, a formet ASG president at Mira Costa Colle3e and coordinator of volunteers :it the Comet Center. "She's a young person and she's very active. That's personally what I like to see from my student government versus trips to Washington, D.C." ·-.

"A lot of people don't really know what it takes to run a business. They may have a great idea about a product or service, but may not know how to tum that idea in to a success. " - Bonnie Dowd Director, Small Business Resource Center Opened more than a year ago, the resource center has been well received, said Dowd. "We've had calls from people all over the area; from business people wanting more information to some already in business who told me they wished they had this kind of help when they first opened their busmess."

Dowd characterized the typical visitor as a first-time business owner or someone considering starting his own small operation after years of working for others.

"They come in," she said, "look at the materials we have, and talk to us about problems they may be having (in their business), or where to begin to start.

"Alotofpeopledon'treallyknow what it takes to run a business. They may have a great idea about a product or service, but may not know how to turn that idea in to a success.

So they come to us for assistance and advice."

Shirley Hamilton ofValley Center was one of those people. She visited the SBRC for help when she wanted to open her own cleaning service.

"They gave me a lot of prac tical advice," Hami lton said. "I got ideas on things to do, what not to do. I walked away feeling like I had a much better idea of what I was getting in to and what it was going to take to make work."

Food prices are on the rise to help maintain quality Donny VanZandt Staff Writer

Students who have noticed that their regular lunch costs a little more have been feeling the effects of a cafeteria cost increase implemented since last semester.

The prices of many items in the cafeteria, like soup and cornbread, suffered a slight but noticeable increase. going up 15 and I0 cents respectively.

Some may see th is as a capital istic move by the cafeteria, but it was

a necessary one, said Pat Barrett, director of Food Services.

"In order to maintam a certain level of quality. we had to rmse prices," said Barrett.

"We could serve a smaller hamburger and keep the prices low, or raise the pnces and maintain our standards," she sa1d .

We got the large hamburger and the increased prices.

Many of the greater prices were d ue to wholesale cost increases, although inflation was a factor as wel l.

Much of that cruc ial know ledge comes from Dowd's own personal experience. As Director, she provides much of the momentum hehmd the center. A fast talker who clearly knows her subject matter. she is also an associate professor of business at Palomar and is no stranger to the world.

"You can say I grew up in business,'' she said. ''My parents owned their own." The early exposure led to a 22-year career m business hefore Dowd switched to teaching five years ago.

Dowd draws on those experiences during individual counseling sessions she and other SBRC representatives provide. The 45-mmute counseling sessions are available to anyone need ing help with any aspect of their company including coming up with a business plan, applying for fi nancing, and marketing and bookkeeping after a business is opened. Dowd and her coworkers will even do field workassess ing a company and advising on improvements.

Business students benefit from the program as well. accordmg to Dowd.

"It offers them the opportunity to apply what they' re learni ng." she said. "It's a way to connect their education wi th the 'real world' and get the chance to see what it really like to run a business."

The Republicans want to tum control of the school lunch program to the states.

Should it happen?

â&#x20AC;˘ Liberals are twisting the facts around James Hatch Staff Writer

The latest attempt by the mainstream liberal media, and the Democratic Party in general, to make Republicans out to be heartless monsters who are out to steal food from the mouths of children is extremely offensive.

The fact is that the American public as a whole has completely taken advantage of the school lunch program as we now know it. It was designed to aid families who genuinely could not afford to send their children to school with a lunch on a daily basis.

However, the program has now been abused so flagrantly that 75 percent of the children who receive free or discounted lunches actually live above the poverty level, according to Rep. Steve Gunderson (R-Wis.) in a congressional research services report.

It is not the school's or the government's

ShouJd the school lunch program be turned over to the states?

job to mind the welfare of our kids. What is happening now is an attempt to brainwash society into thinking that it can no longer think or act for itself; that it needs the government to baby-sit us and our children.

The goal is to slowly and quietly relieve people of their most innate senses of responsibility thus making them dependent on big government and costly government programs.

But money is not the main issue. Under the current federal program the direct spending for school lunches is $3.1 billion. Under the Republican-proposed bill, that amount would be increased in the form of block grants to the states to $4.5 billion over five years.

How can an increase interpreted as taking away the school lunch program?

Here's how. The liberals are scared that their ability to control the money is being threatened.

Don't be fooled. They are not watching out for your kids. They are worried that with less control people may actually begin thinking and taking responsibility for themselves.

â&#x20AC;˘ The states simply cannot be trusted Liz BenneH Staff Writer

States cannot manage money properly, so the federal government should do it for them.

The states are already paying for so much to provide services to the citizens. The states should not have to be responsible for everything. They are already overburdened with welfare, Medi-Cal and other social needs.

If the states get control of student lunches, they may be forced to take money from the community colleges because that is what the states do whenever they need money.

Four-and-a-half semesters ago, it was only $6 a unit to attend community college in California, with a $60 price cap. Now, due to state budget bungling, the price is now $13 a unit, no cap and is projected to jump to $15 a unit, no cap for the next fall semester.

The controls over how the money is to be spent are shaky at best. There are no guarantees that the states will not take the federal grants and spend trem on paper clips and pay

raises. Granted, some of the money may make it into the lunch programs, but how much?

One-half? One-quarter? One-tenth? How is the fed going to prevent children from going hungry at lunch without any controls over how the money is spent?

Maybe if the feds were more involved in something more than padding their own pockets, they would understand the people's situations better and realize that the states just do not have the means of giving money out anymore.

The federal government should pay for the school lunches since someone needs to provide for the children. The states take care of so many other needs that they should not have to do this on top of everything else.

The federal government can mal:e and break laws. By passing the bill over to the states they are not taking care of the problem, they are just passing the buck.

OPINION 9

Thinking Out Loud Kate Nelson

It's time to elect Hillary Clinton Before Hillary Rodham married her fiance Bill, she received a bachelor's degree from prestigious Wellesley College. Then she went on to Yale to earn a Jaw degree.

After Bill Clinton became governor of Arkansas, Hillary Clinton continued to practice Jaw, and was a valuable adviser to her husband. She even managed to balance her career and family when the Clinton's daughter Chelsea was born.

When Bill Clinton was elected president, he said that voters had gotten both himself as president and Hillary as a close adviser-two for the price of one. Hillary had played a large role when Bill was governor, and she planned to do so while he was president.

But some citizens had a problem with a woman in power. Bumper stickers proclaiming "Impeach the president and her husband" began cropping up. Legislators were upset because they felt since Hillary wasn't in an appointed or elected position, they would have no control over her.

When voters go the polls in November 1996, many of them may be doing so because they want to rid themselves ofHillary and Bill.

The two frontrunners in the race for the Republican nomination, Senators Bob Dole and Phil Gramm of Texas both have intelligent, involved, powerful wives. Elizabeth Dole is a former Secretary of Labor and is currently Director of the American Red Cross. Wendy Gramm is a former professor at Texas A&M University. Ronald Reagan once called her his favorite economist.

If either of these men are elected, their wives will no doubt play a big role in their presidencies. The only major differences between them and Hillary are their political affiliations and their names.

Maybe Republicans just don't like Hillary, or they feel threatened by a woman in power.

Let's make it legal: America is ready for a female president.

Margaret Thatcher was prime minister in Great Britain for 12 years. Benazir Bhutto has served her country, Pakistan, with great distinction. Gro Harlem Brundtland, prime minister of Norway, is a woman. Indira Gandhi, daughter of Jawarhalal Nehru, followed in her father's footsteps and became prime minister of India.

There is a female candidate for the Republican nomination, former Secretary of Labor Lynn Martin, but she will never be elected.

There are still too many people who do not believe that women can govern with the same ability as men. Then there are the people who are just plain sexist. Americans will not elect a female president-we're behind the times.

Staff Editorial

ASG almost cost Palomar SpringFest After student opposition to their questionable use of student representation funds and campus beautification funds, the Associated Student Government still doesn't get it.

This time, they attempted at the last minute to cancel Palomar's annual SpringFest event based on some members' personal differences with the event organizer, Vice President of Social Affairs Carla Mays.

Had it not been for the persistence of the event's performers and the intervention of ASG Adviser Jim Bowen, SpringFest could have died.

Apparently a few ASG members felt that Mays' initiative in booking jazz musician Hollis Gentry threatened the ASG's unity because they were not asked their opinion on it. In fact, it bothered President Merri II Tyler

misrepresentation, the ASG may cost Palomar a lawsuit from Gentry.

Because it states nowhere in the bylaws that Mays needs a vote in order to appropriate funds from social events budgets, it should be the process, and not Mays, with which the ASG should be upset. Mays was acting completely within her authority when she took the initiative to negotiate with Gentry.

Tyler had no business interfering without informing Mays. The ASG should consider itself lucky that the event even happened.

It's fine if the ASG wants unity.

After all, it appears that this wht>le incident occurred as a result of disunity. In pursuing that unity, however, the ASG shouldn't forget its unity with the rest of the school or the real reason they are there-to serve the students.

so much that he even stuck out his neck by overstepping his authority.

In his disregard for Mays' authority, Tyler contacted Gentry without her knowledge and reworked his contract under the illusion that the ASG didn't have enough money to cover the original contract of $1 ,500. Although Mays had gone over her SpringFest budget, there was plenty of money in the social events account to cover the difference and still fund activities for the rest of the year.

Tyler's statement to Gentry that there was only $700 was a misrepresentation because there was technically more money available for events.

As a resu It ofTy Ier' s interference, Gentry was dragged through the mudslinging of ASG personal conflicts for nearly a week. After changing his contract nearly half a dozen times under the cover of a

• Infectious thriller starring Dustin Hoffman proves catching ••••••••••••••••

Movie review ••••••••••••••••

****

Chris Gleason Opinion Editor

Got a sniffle? Sneezing? Coughing? Don't blame hay fever or spring allergies. You obviously have the Motaba virus! Rest in peace.

"Outbreak," the new suspensethriller from Warner Bros. , has spread through theaters like an epidemic. A week after its release, it was still selling out at the larger movie houses in town.

The focal point of "Outbreak" is the Motaba virus, a highly-contagious bug which effectively dissolves an infected person's organs within 48 hours. Motaba is accidentally smuggled into America via an infected monkey , and wreaks its havoc on the small rural town of Cedar Creek, Calif.

Dustin Hoffman plays Colonel Sam Daniels, a military virologist who goes into Cedar Creek against orders in an attempt to save the town from total destruction. Wait. . . against orders? Sure. A virus that kills that quickly and efficiently obviously has some military value.

Enter Morgan Freeman as General Bill Ford, Sam's boss and long-

time friend who orders Sam not to go into CedarCreek. Keep in mind, though, this is the military. Bill has h1s own orders to follow. Next, enter Donald Sutherland playing h1s usual lunatic part in the form of General McClintock. (Remember the arsonist Sutherland portrayed m "Backdraft?" Imagine that guy with a bit more brass on his shoulders.) It is McClintock who wants the virus kept for military purposes, and he's willing to sacrifice the entire town of Cedar Creek to do it.

A quarantine is placed on the town partially to prevent the virus from spreading across the entire United States. McClintock, however, has his own plans.

All three of these legendary actors turn in excellent performances, with each of them playing conflicting archetypes: Hoffman as the doctor-soldier devoted to saving lives, Freeman as the doctor-soldier torn between saving lives and his call to duty and Sutherland as the doctorsoldier devoted entirely to duty.

It is this conflict which drives the movie's frantic pace.

This film kept the entire audience gasping, literally. In a scene showing the speed at which Motaba spreads, the set is Cedar Creek's movie theater where a man gives the disease to dozens of moviegoers while coughing.

This naturally created the brilliant effect of sending shivers down the spines of the real audience mem-

Not only is the acting first-rate throughout the film, but the camera work adds an extra dimension.

Through this scholastic introduction he developed a love for theater that is still burning strong.

Tafejian is currently starring in an upcoming local production. The play "Crossing Delancey," opening next week at the Patio Playhouse in Escondido, will make it his 25th performance.

Tafejian said that he took a beginning acting class and was then cast in his first role here at Palomar.

"If you want to act it really helps if you take some basic acting classes so that you know how to present yourself," said Tafejian.

"Once you learn the basic techniques the bottom line is experience-getting roles and experience with directors. You need directors to get to know if you are acting the role right or not. General! y they are

A:Phrasing is very important to me. What you are hearing is chosen carefully. Miles Davis and all those great guys always say it's not how many notes you play, it's which notes you play.

Q:Is there any particular emotion that you try to evoke from the listener?

Tiltwheel's got it set straight: just play Local Music Box Peter Sansom Entertainment Editor Tiltwheel is a cool band. Why? It's all in the attitude. Imagine driving 30 hours round trip to play a45 minute set in Provo, Utah. All for a fcc that barely covers gas and food.

They did.

Picture trekking to Phoenix to play in a benefit for a skate park and not receiving a cent. They have.

Realize that they pi ay for free at people's parties all the time ... and if you ask them to play yours? They probably will. Call Aaron Regan or Bob McPherson at 634-1 077 and you' II be hooked up. Seriously. Not only will you get live music doorbell-delivered, but you' 11 also get a heaping serving of local talent in the form of Tilt wheel.

Since forming in 1992, the band's punk sound has been featured on three compilations ("Viva Ia Vinyl," "Six-pack to Go" and "Volume") and their own self-titled seven

inch. The seven inch has been out a month.

It might not sound like much. but with hundreds of live shows under their belts, some of them opening forthc likes of Face to Face and Unwritten Law, Tilt wheel has carved a respectable niche for themselves in the local music scene As soon as you pick up the group's seven inch you know it's going to rock. Inside is a free beer coaster emblazoned with the band ' s logo, two steins under their name.

Cheap beer connoisseurs might recognize the steins as they were taken from a Meister Brau can.

The band freely admits to swiping the label, but hey, isn ' t imitation the highest form of flattery?

Containing three songs, this release's only fault is its shortness. Davey Quinn provides the catchy guitar hooks, while Regan and McPherson pound out the bass and drums respectively.

All of the songs conjure up images of other punk artists, but the band still has a style unique to themselves. Comparable to other local artist there is a strong Fluf sound.

The second track, "Another Sappy Song About Hate,'' offers a spicy slice of pop-punk with a lingering aftertaste. The aftertaste

Movie review

••••••••••••••••

***

Steven Zivanic Sraf!Wrirer

Instead of continuing the 1992 horror hit "Candyman," with a sequel, the new release ··candyman: Farewell to the Flesh," tells the original story in a more complete manner.

"Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh,'' directed by Bill Condon and produced by gore-meistcr Clive Barker, should have actually been the first Candyman film ever produced, eliminating everything showcased in the original altogether.

The new film manages to fill in many various gaps and plot points left thoroughly empty in the original, so it's a borderline remake.

The plot of the story is essentially the same. with hook-for-ahand slasher Daniel Robitaille, a.k.a. the Candy man (Tony Todd), constantly dismembering people who choose to call his name five times while looking at a mirror.

The Candyman is again accompanied by an aggressive blonde sidekick, this time by Kelly Rowan, who plays Annie Tarrant, a school teacher trying to solve her family's murders and find the truth about the Candy man's past.

An exception throughout the film however, is that the setting is now in the heart of New Orleans, the birthplace of the Candyman, rather than the Cabrini Green housing projects of Chicago.

In Farewell to the Flesh, we sec the origms of Candyman as they were only briefly mentioned in the origmal, but they are very graphic and somewhat disturbing in the film. In the movie, during a flashback scene to 1890, we sec Daniel Robitaille, the artisttc son of a black slave, brutally beaten almost to the point of death, by an angry racist white mob, because of his romantic involvement with a white landowner's daughter.

The mob feverishly uses a rusted saw to cut off his right hand (the hand he paints with) and then proceeds to smear honeycomb allover Robitaille's naked, bleeding body, as he is finally stung to death by thousands of bees.

The film is no doubt scary in some scenes, but seems redundant in others, dragging the film down.

Too many typical false-start type incidents occur, in which the viewer is tricked into expecting Candyman to pop out, but rather sees another boring, dull cast member. Yawn.

This gimmtck is used throughout the movie and seems to degrade the picture to a lower level due to its uselessness. Definite overkill. Altogether, "Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh" is an above average horror film, with ghastly gruesome effects, which could have been perhaps twice as effective as the original, had it been released in its place and not as a sequel.

Still, the movie does supply an ampleamountofsplatterwithsome nice dismemberment scenes thrown in. If you're in the mood for some big-screen gore, go see Farewell, but pray you don't have to use the bathroom during the movie.

I did ... and the mirror didn't look too appealing.

"Lines are being drawn out/ And the bands are being bought out/Everything must go!/ Burn it all down!"

Laying these prophetic lyrics over the band's frenzied playing creates an adrenalpumping sound that begs you to sing along.

With only three songs, you'll find yourself reaching for the record player a lot.

Quicksand improves upon their crunching hardcore sound on their sophomore effort, "Manic CompressiOn." The band has stayed true to the feel and style of their 1993 major label debut "Slip," yet have taken their songs to the next level , increasing the power of their already heavy-as-lead music .

The New York hardcore band ' s sound is somewhat like a cross between Helmet and Tool.

The droning, heavy dragging sound of Tool mixed with the punkish speed and crunching guitars of Helmet.

Yet unlike many of the bands popular today for the so-called "revitalization" of punk, Quicksand doesn't rei y on three-chord melodies and a lot of predictable yelling. Quicksand's songs are complex, constantly evolving entities which change directions more often than a lab rat in a maze. Guitarist Tom Capone lays layer upon layer of textured

As for now, the band is playing an average of two shows a week around the San Diego area. If you ask any one of them why they play so much, you'll get an easy smile and a simple answer.

"It is what I love to do, it's that simple .. .everything, the practice, the playing and the road trips," said McPherson. "The whole life-style is exciting to me."

rhythms and hammering solos, powering such songs as the speedy ''Divorce" and the six minute long scorcher "It WouldBeCoolerifYou Did." Short phrases, popping up between guitar riffs, are Walter Schreifels trademark. Trading between singing and screaming, he fuels the songs with his own personal hell. He expresses anger, passion, rage and spite with the best of them.

Drummer Alan Cage proves to be the driving force throughout many of the songs, keeping a swinging, bass heavy, thumping beat that must be heard to be believed.

Overall, "Manic Compression" is an excellent second album from one of the best hardcore groups outthere.

Juliana Hatfield straddles the fence between mellow adolescent tenderness and distortionladen post-adolescent fury on "Only Everything." The result is an intriguing new record that displays Hatfield's maturation as a musical craftsman .

For her third release Hatfield has dropped the "three" from the "Juliana Hatfield Three," essentially going solo.

Hatfield has the abJlity to rock out on tracks like "What A Life," and "Dumb Fun," or she can settle down on the acoustic "Li vc On Tomorrow" and the bittersweet "My Darling."

No matter how rough the distortion or gritty the bass lines, Hatfield sounds like a 14-year old. Her voice adds a virginal innocence to her songs, but also can come off as contrived at times. Still, it works.

"O.K. O.K." and "Congratulations" show off Hatfield's knack for coming off as arrogant

and condescending. In an annoying repetitious manner little Juliana sings "I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you .. .yeah whatever," about a million times. It is mostly on the second side of "Only Everything" that Hatfield displays the talent to sound like a smug bitch.

On the tender sweet "My Darling" Hatfield is eager to please w1th her voice, and she succeeds, the sincerity rolls of her tongue.

"My Darling" is the least fake song, hence the best.

There is no doubt Hatfield knows her way around the strings, to simply dismiss her is a weak thing to do. "Only Everything" is chockful of cool bass grooves and ample amounts of juicy power chords. A feeling of contrivance envelops a majority of the material.

Nonetheless, Hatfield has made a nice Go-Gos influenced guitar-pop record with a little Breeders m1xed with a touch of Liz Phair, sure to find a home in this great alterna-heaven of ours.

Face to Face has been writing tightly structured punk songs loaded with intense melodies and hardcore power chords for three years. However, their new release, "Big Choice" may be the vehicle that launches the band to gold record land.

The foursome from Victorville breaks no new ground creating an extension of their last two albums. The upside is "Big Choice" is loaded with a plethora of sweet-brash melodies, a bingeful of fast riffs, plenty of sing-along lyrics and Trevor Keith's emotion-laden vocals. "Struggle" sets the tone for the entire record. They sing about the trials of life, mix up the soft and hard hooks and bam: a snappy anthem is made.

Easily the best cut on "Big Choice" is "Bikeage," a bonus track only to be found on compactdisc. Balancing soft and hard guitar riffs, it burns till the end.

Face to Face turns in the soulful emotion-packed tracks like clockwork, making a very solid and substantial punk record.

Baseball hits snag in league • Not enough pitching or offense sinks Palomar Brian Wallace ManaK'"!! Editor

Comet pitchers couldn't stand up to the bats of San Diego Mesa or the errors of their own team, resulting in a 13-4 loss Saturday.

The trouble started in the first inning SDMesa 13 when the Olympians' Mike Palomar 4 Landers was hit by a pitch, stole second, and scored on high pop-up to left-center which dropped between two Comet outfielders , "Bad News Bears" style, for one of the Comets' five errors.

The outfield display was followed by a home run with two on, making it a 4-0 game with only one out. Starting pitcher Greg Aiken pitched his way out of the inning, however, getting the next batter to

hit a bouncer to the short stop and, after giving up a single, striking out the next batter.

The Comets' first run came in the second inning when singles by Marty Camacho and Joel Walker were followed up by a double-play bouncer by Brent Baum which managed to score Camacho from third.

In the third inning, the Olympians were helped again by an error when an errant throw to first allowed San Diego Mesa's Eric Miranda to get on base. He later scored on a single to left field by teammate Aaron Blair. When Palomar got up, they were shut down with two strike outs and a weak grounder to third.

Scoring continued for both teams for the next three innings with San Diego Mesa getting one in the fourth, two in the fifth (one of which crossed the plate on a wild pitch) and three in the sixth.

Palomar plugged along, scoring one run per inning, and then fell flat in the seventh, never to score again.

Olympian pitcher Ray Plummer allowed the Comets their biggest break of the game that inning, loading the bases on a single, double and a bunt single. But with only one out, Plummer struck out Comets Aaron Blake and Joel Walker to end the inning.

Olympian pitching continued to trouble the Comets in the eighth inning, as Plummer struck out Palomar's Jose So to and Ernie Silva.

Relief pitcher Ian Hamilton came in for San Diego Mesa in the ninth and got two fly-outs to right and a bouncer back to the pitcher which he handled by himself to end the game.

The loss dropped the Comets to 8-12 overall and 4-4 in conference.

Palomar next hosts Grossmont March 25 at noon.

Linksters looking for a title Jeremy Lynch Sports Editor

Even though this year's weather hasn't particularly cooperated, golf season is in full swing, and Palomar has begun its conference title run.

Competing in one of the most competitive leagues in southern California, the Comets are right in the thick of things in the Orange Empire Conference.

"This is one of the most competitive league I've seen in years," said Head Golf Coach Bob Lusky.

"There are seven teams that are very even. Only Golden West and Fullerton are weak."

Leading the way for the Comets is Andrew Wen. He is ranked number one in the league and consistently takes medalist honors in Comet tournaments. Coach Lusky

couldn't be more pleased with Wen performanceso far this season.

"He's tops in our conference and has done a really good job for us," commented Lusky.

Although Palomar is home to the top golfer in the league, it takes depth and consistency to win conference titles. Thus far, Palomar has had its ups and downs coming into the home stretch of the season with a 5-2 record. To win the league title, Lusky knows that his team will have to play steady golf the rest of the way.

"We tend to be inconsistent," offered Lusky. "We need consistency to win, and wedon'thave that yet."

Barring inclement weather, Palomar will next face Cuyamaca at Singing Hills Country Club March 27 at 12:15 p.m.

Give him a chance already!

From Beyond The Arc

"At the other guard, standing six feet, six inches tall, out of North Carolina. number 45, ~rnc Michael Jordan."

For awhile I thought basketball fans would never again hear that over the sound systems of basketball arenas around the country. Well, we haven't heard exactly that because He never wore number 45. Yes, I just capitalized he bec(\use He is the best to ever play and deserves some respect.

I'm not the only one who thinks His Airness is the best ever to play the game of basketball. According to another round ball great, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan is "God in basketball shoes." In any case, He is back.

If you didn't already know, Michael Jordan has retired from professional baseball and has returned to the game that made Him famous.

A look at his first game has brought some critics that don't have a clue about basketball. Yeah he shot 7-for-28 from the floor, so what? It was his first game back in 18 months. Did anyone bother noticing that MJ had gained 25 pounds in upper body strength that might affect his shooting touch for a few games?

Plus, He has been playing a different sport for the past year and a half.

It wasn't like he took the time off and played basketball everyday. Mr. Jordan came back into the league toward the end of the s<:ason, with no preseason to benefit from, and because he didn't have a typical Jordanesque game, people are saying that he might never regain true Michael Jordan form. Give the guy a chance for heaven sake!

If, in two weeks, He hasn't had two or three typical Jordanesque games, then maybe people can begin to wonder with a little skepticism. Before that time though, chill out with the criticism. No one could come back with only three of four days of practice and perform like Jordan was at the end of his last championship year. No one.

No matter how He plays the rest of the year, the Chicago Bulls are a better team with him on the floor. Suddenly, the Bulls have someone to take the pressure off of Scottie Pippen and Toni Kukoc. Anytime MJ has his hands on the ball, the other team has to worry about Him suddenly doing His thing like He used to. That's all anyone can remember. Michael Jordan, the man. The man that practically owned the league and everyone that played in it.

I don't even want to hear about Magic or Bird being better than MJ because overall they weren't. In some facets of the game, maybe. Overall, however, they weren't even close. Magic could pass, but couldn't play defense like Jordan can. Magic could run the show like no one else, but couldn't carry a team like Jordan can. Bird was one of the grittiest players. of all time, but lacked the quickness and the raw athletic ability of a Jordan.

Why do you think Jordan came back? So there won't be an argument in the first place.

Critics will be critics, and there is usually no way around them. Jordan will hear critics from now on because, if he doesn't succeed like He used to, people will say that He tarnished His reputation. Knowing Jordan, He wouldn't have come back if He didn't think He could play at the same level or higher now than He did then. I guess only time will tell how successful Jordan's return will be. Smart money says bet on Jordan.

SPORTS Men's tennis looking forward to rematch with No. I Jeremy Lynch Sports Editor

Palomar's number one singles player Ray Stark will attempt to carry his weight as the Comets look to upset the Pacific Coast Conference leading Grossmont Griffins on March 28.

â&#x20AC;˘ Schreiner's all around effort leads volleyballers SwffWriter

In the last two matches, the Comet's men's volleyball squad hasn't allowed opponents to win one game. Last Friday night at the Dome was no different.

The Comets made easy work of the Santa Barbara Vaqueros 15-2, 15-6, 15-13 for their fifth straight win and third consecutive three games to none sweep.

As with the previous matches, the Comets stepped onto the court and immediately took control. The Comets scored the first Palomar 3 seven points of game one, and took Grossmont 0 advantage of fundamental errors by the V 1queros. Santa Barbara faced a 1-0 game deficit before they seemed to relax and find their game The scoreboard read 5-2. Santa Barbara early in game two. as the Vaqueros took their first lead of the match. But the lead was shortlived as the Comets racked up nine unan-

good chance of stealing one.

Although Palomar's singles play has been somewhat suspect at times during the year, doubles has always come through to save the Comets.

Not that they've had to save much.

In almost every match that Palomar has won this year, singles play had already clinched the match. Maybe that's why the doubles teams play so well, they don't have any pressure on them. Hopefully, they will do well under pressure against Grossmont. It would nice if singles clinches the match before doubles even starts.

Not too often does a team get a second chance at a conference title.

If the opportunity does present itself, the team usually makes the most of it.

The Palomar men's tennis team plans on doingjust that on March 28 when they travel to Grossmont to take on the highly regarded Griffins.

The Comets have been right on the Griffins heels for the past two 1 seasons, but haven't been able to get over the top. In the first meeting this season Grossmont won 7-2. But if a few things would have gone a little differently, Head Coach Jim Miller thinks his team would have pulled off the upset.

"When we play these guys it could go either way," said Miller.

"If we all play super tennis and catch them on a down day we can beat them."

The reason for the Grossmont success can be attributed to their top two players. Both are ranked in the top 15 in the state and their No. I, who is ranked No. 4 in the state, Greg Skinner I The Telescope recently knocked off the number one player in the state. Grossmont is Sasha Azarmi will play a big role in Palomar's chances against ranked in the top five in the state and Grossmont. Azarmi will team up with fellow Comet and San Dieguito alum Matt Macabitas in number two doubles.

Comets cruise past Vaqueros Michael A. LaRocchia

Palomar has a decent ranking as well. The Comets go into this showdown ranked 12th in the state. Overall the Comets are 6-2, 3-1 in conference. The only loss other than Grossmont came at the hands of the No. 9 team in the state, Golden West.

Palomar's best chance for points will come in the doubles. In their last match, the number one (Ray Stark/Roger Glaser) and number two doubles (Sasha Azarmi/Matt Macabitas) both played Grossmont tough. If this match comes down to doubles, the Comets could stand a

swered points in route to a 15-6 win.

Palomar's talent runs past the starting players. In game three, the Comet second team was sent in to finish off the Vaqueros.

"We've beat teams decisively and we've won with depth," said Comet Head Coach Duncan McFarland. "We didn't have the depth at the beginning of the season, but (the bench players) have proven they can come in and be ready to play."

Although Santa Barbara scored 13 points in game three, the most by any Comet opponent in three weeks, Palomar hung tough. Led

by Seth Schreiner's three blocks, seven kills, and two aces, the Comets shut the door on a late Vaqueros run and won 15-13.

Schreiner understands that players relationships off the court has contributed to their success at game time.

"We're all pretty tight on the team," said Schreiner. "We're Jelling and we play together as a team. We can go all the way."

Palomar's Matt Hyden also added II kills while playmg in only 2 games The Comets next take on L.A. Pierce Friday March 24 at the Dome.
