Governing Board rejects woman's injury claims • Insurance procedures require school to deny responsibility Rick Martinez Alex Azarmi Staff Writers

Palomar's Governing Board voted unanimously March 28 toreject a claim filed by a woman who reportedly cut her foot in the women's locker room while participating in a weekend s~im class.

The woman, Kristina Jimenez, is not a Palomar student, but rather a member of the Inland Aquatic Club that was using the Wallace Pool.

According to Board member Ralph Jensen, Jimenez cut the lower part of her foot in two places on a piece of cracked tile. "One cut was on the ball of her foot and one cut was on- her instep," said Jensen.

Board member Dr. Rita White, although voting to reject the claim, did not fully endorse the board's decision. "It's not honest," said White. "We know we are at fault."

Dr. White's remarks were followed by a collective gasp from the audience and from other board members. Fellow Board member Dr. Robert L. Dougherty said, "It may not be honest, but that is the way you've got to play."Jensen added,

"Our feelings and the law don't always coincide."

According to Vice President of Finance, Mike Gregoryk, public agencies must reject such claims before insurance companies can review them.

White said the main reason for rejecting the claim was that Jimenez reportedly filed for $10,000 in new claims for additional injuries after filing her original claims.

In other business, the Board also voted to revise the registration priority system.

Disabled Students and students from Extended Opportunities Programs & Services will continue to register first under the new system.

New, returning, transfer and continuing students who complete orientation and assessment immediately before the deadline date will follow.

Continuing students who are actively registered at the census during the prior semester or actively registered in a course as of the deadline date will register last.

The revisions to the priority sys-

Lester Knapp, associate professor of life sciences, and his family will fly to South Carolina March 31 where one of his daughters may donate her bone marrow in an attempt to save her father's life.

Knapp, an instructor at Palomar for 25 years, suffers from a potentially fatal bone marrow disease which he believes he contracted from longtime exposure to chemicals on campus.

Accompanied by his wife, Kathleen, and his daughters, Janis, 24, and Lesley, 25, Knapp will be under the care of the Henslee-

Downey Center of the Richland Memorial Hospital in Columbia, South Carolina. Upon arrival Knapp and his daughters will undergo a week of tests and cell mixing to see if one of his daughters is compatible enough for the transplant.

Even though Knapp's daughters do not match his DNA perfectly, Knapp feels he has no choice but to go ahead with the transplant of the closest match because his time is runnmg out. His immune system is almost non-existent and his biweekly blood transfusions are now lasting only eight to ten days.

'Til have to go with the partial match. If I don't. I run the risk of bleeding to death or catchmg an

infection that my immune system can't fight," Knapp said.

'This is my Dad's last chance," said Lesley.

No one yet in Knapp's family nor in the worldwide search has come up as his perfect genetic match.

An ongoing computer search has attempted to match half a million donors on file in Europe and one mil~ion in the United States.

The transplant requires a match of six genetic traits. One of Knapp's daughters has a match of four traits, the other has three traits.

Students plan protest over financial aid cuts College students across the nation are mobilizing in an effort to help convince Congress to spare the ax when it comes to federal funding for higher education.

Numerous student groups are planning a National Day of Campus Action Against the Contract with America for Wednesday, March 29.

"We want to send a message that the Contract with America is a program for social under-development," said Jeremy Smith, spokesperson for the University Conversion Project, which is organizing the event.

More than 100 campuses across the nation will be holding demonstrations to exhibitstudentsupportforeducation. "We must make it clear that if these measures are enacted, it will be without our con-

sent," said a statement from the UCP. "A contract we never signed is not a Contract with America, it is a Con tract on America."

Sarah Lund, a junior at Kent State University and spokesperson for the Student Action Coalition, said the GOP's actions have awakened the activist in many college students.

"This is something that is hitting a lot of the middle-of-the-road people," Lund said.

"Joe Schmo student is finally finding out that the government is doing something that will hurt him, and he's decided to do something about it."

dent Aid polled I ,000 adults to gauge their opinion of student aid. They found that nearly 90 percent of those surveyed favored, at the very least, maintaining student aid as it stanps today. The ASSA said the support was comparable in most demographic groups, including among Democrats and Republicans.

Though the legislative proposals vary from slight reductions in student aid to the complete elimination of student loans altogether, House Republican officials are seeking to decrease funding for higher education in part to help fund a $190 billion middle-class tax break and balance the federal budget.

Republican lawmakers suggest that the elimination of the interest subsidy on student loans would save $8 billion per year.

Testing daughters' DNA for a close match

Continued from Page 1 gone through enough not being able to find a match," Janis said.

"They have to identify specific chromosome points that have to do with my daughters' and husband's immune system," said Kathleen.

"Also my daughters will go through a complete health checkup to make sure they have nothing that could be transmitted," Knapp said.

Knapp said that if the doctors approve, they will go ahead with the preparation for the transplant, however it is not an absolute.

"The tests might not work out, and in that case, we'll have to go home," he said.

"If we pass the tests and once they have the OK from my insurance company, they will begin by building an armored suit to protect me and shield my organs from the radiation and chemotherapy treatment," explained Knapp.

Before the transplant, Knapp will go through radiation and chemotherapy treatment to rid all what's left of his bone marrow cells so the new cells from his daughter will not be rejected.

"If they. do draw bone marrow from Janis or Lesley, they'll have to go into the hip bone to take the marrow out, and it can be quite painful for a week or two, but nothing compared to what Lester's going through," said Kathleen.

Knapp's recovery is a challenge not only to Knapp and his family but also to modern science. Today many of these transplants are being performed without a perfect match and some have been successful, but many end up rejecting the new bone marrow even with perfect matches.

"I have a lot of hurdles to go through before the new bone marrow produces new cells to cure me," Knapp said.

"First I have to survive the radiation and then my body has to get rid of the dead cells in my system. If I survive the radiation and the transplant is successful, I then run the risk of rejecting the donor marrow," Knapp explained.

"It's definitely a tragedy to have happened to my husband and my family, but we are keeping very positive and we are going ahead with an outlook towards success, " - Kathleen Knapp Lester Knapp's wife "Also in a mismatch transplant the new bone marrow can grow really well and reject me, killing me through an acute graft versus host disease," he added.

"It's definitely a tragedy to have happened to my husband and my family, but we are keeping very positive and we are going ahead with an outlook towards success," said Kathleen.

"My dad's always been like my best buddy so it's really tough to think that each day he's hanging on a string, it's not fun to deal with," said Janis. ''I'm upset with the college that they're not helping him."

"It was really hard to see my dad go through the first stages of denial, anger and depression. He felt let down," said Lesley. "He then realized it does no good to be angry about it and now he's so focused on getting better. He's taking all the precautions, medicines, herbs, etc.

"The doctors are amazed at his health. Most patients would have been in hospital by now."

Knapp said he is keeping a positive attitude, and has learned a lot by this experience.

"It made me realize how each and everyone of us is biochemically unique, but at the same time, how much we need one another," said Knapp.

Knapp has received calls, cards, letters and visits from family, friends and students including people who he taught as far back as 25 years ago.lt has given him a chance to get closer to people he hasn't seen in

many years, Knapp said.

"It's great to know so many people care about me. It touches my heart deeply," he said.

Knapp's daughter Lesley said, "Calls come in all the time. People have been so supportive. It's really special to watch his face light up when a student calls out of the blue after 20 years and say things like 'I really loved your class and I hope you remember me' and 'I really wish you well."'

Knapp said that he was extremely grateful that so many friends and faculty had donated blood.

"They share blood with me. It's a miracle as it patches me up again for another two weeks," he said.

Knapp said the bright side of the bone marrow search is that it has made him more in touch with his family.

"It's been a wonderful opportunity to be closer to all my family, especially the cousins I grew up with and haven't seen in years," he said.

"We've been able to relive experiences growing up as teenagers."

This February, after the insurance company's investigation, Palomar denied Knapp workers compensation. He is presently filing for workers comp with the state.

The school's insurance policy doesn't cover the costly bone marrow donor search and to date his expenses have been over $90,000. $46,000 has come from his own pocket and $50,000 has come from loans. "[The decision of] whether or not Palomar pays these medical bills and my wages is going before the impartial California State [workers compensation] Board where both sides of the case will be heard," Knapp said.

Knapp said that the insurance company's findings blame his disease on X-ray radiation treatment he had as a young man for acne treatment.

"The amount of radiation I got then was about as much as one chest X-ray," said Knapp. "I don't think their case will hold up in court."

ICC discusses food costs and affirmative action Jim Minkler Staff Writer

Assembly Bill211 and the rising costs of food and materials sold on campus shared the spotlight as the main issues of concern at a recent InterClub Council meeting.

ASG Senator Chris Wheat delivered information on these two topics and said he would lead the effort to stop both the assembly bill, which involves repealing affirmative action at the college level, and the price increases.

Existing law requires schools to establish affirmative action plans for hiring women and minorities for teaching positions. Assembly Bill 211 would repeal these requirements and states that "merit would be the only consideration" for hiring.

Wheat called the bill a "wolf in sheep's clothing." "They say it will be helpful for the people, but it's not," said Wheat. "If this bill passes, it would destroy the state and community college system."

Members of the ICC voiced their opinions and concerns, including Theater Club representa-

tive, Sheilina Shaw.

"It's not a black or white thing," Shaw said. "It's about taking our voice away."

Wheat, a chemical engineering and physics major, is also leading a task force to investigate the rising prices of food and materials at the campus.

"This is my second semester here and already I've seen the price of bananas jump from 40 cents to 50 cents and certain drinks from 85 cents to $1.1 0," Wheat said.

Concerning book sales, Wheat said, "Students don't want to pay for books here when you can get them cheaper down the road."

Virginia Dower, head of the bookstore and cafeteria for 26 years, said that there are certain things in which the college can't compete.

"We have dropped prices to meet competition, but we can't compete with Walmart or KMart," said Dower.

According to Dower, the reason Campus Books can sell new books cheaper is because they often buy "instructors' copy editions" which are discounted espe-

cially for instructors.

"The district has deemed it unethical to buy instructor's copies," said Dower.

Wheat said that he has acquired last year's profit/loss statement for the cafeteria and bookstore and ''some things just don't add up."

"Their net profit two years ago was over $162,000 and last year it was over $190,000," Wheat said.

"The cafeteria and bookstore is supposed to give ASG 80% of their profit. Why then did ASG only receive $35,000 for the year?"

"We are required to give theASG $35,000 a year whether we make a profit or not," Dower said. "We are not subsidized by tax payers' money.

We have to pay for rent, salaries, repairs, equipment and expansion of the bookstore, for which we are currently paying a building payment of $90,000."

Wheat will be meeting with Dower Palomar's Vice President of Finance Mike Gregoryk next week to go over the college's expenses.

"Somebody is pocketing big money here and I'm going to find out who it is," Wheat said.

ASG V.P. of Social Affairs' seat declared vacant Jeff Vize Staff Writer

Following a week of controversy stemming from her alleged abuse of power, Associated Student Government Vice President of Social Affairs Carla Mays found her position declared vacant on March 24, only five days before her previously scheduled impeachment was to begin.

Mays called the sequence of events "very questionable" based on what she believes is a loophole in the M>G ' s bylaws. Currently, the bylaw; require a two-thirds majority vote from the ASG in order to impeach a member.

The presidential proclamation, which the board'schair Merrill Tyler used to oust Mays, needed only a majority vote from the board in confirmation of the President's actions.

The proclamation's allegations against Mays were also mentioned in Executive Vice President Antonio Munoz's impeachment memo.

Under ASG bylaws, President Merrill Tyler is permitted to make a proclamation, subject to approval through majority vote of the ASG, declaring a seat vacant based on violation of the bylaws.

The approval vote for Tyler's declaration concerning Mays took place at the March 29 meeting and passed with five in favor and three against. Three members were ab-

"The whole thing is that [V.P. of Social Affairs Carla Mays] refuses to listen to us when we're giving her criticism and ideas.

She refuses to communicate and let us know what's going on." - Merrill Tyler ASG President sent. A two-thirds vote would have required six in favor.

Mays believes a two-thirds impeachment vote would have failed if all ASG members had attended.

Tyler defended his presidential proclamation saying that it is solidly based on Mays' numerous bylaw violations and admitted use of profanity against Munoz.

Munoz had also alleged that on March 15 Mays physically assaulted him. According to Tyler, these charges were left out of the proclamation because Mays denied them. He thought if he pursued them, it might imply that he thought Mays was lying.

Tyler said that his decision to use the proclamation instead came after what he interpreted as Mays' continued avoidance of proceedings related to the impeachment.

Citing the fact that the impeachment was originally scheduled to begin on March 22, Tyler said that it was postponed when Mays "suddenly" needed to leave the meeting

early . Mays claims her reasons were related to problems in the SpringFest event she organized, and that when she returned to the meeting at 2:30 p.m. the ASG refused to extend the meeting.

In addition to this incident, Tyler said that Mays did not attend a required Policies and Procedures Committee meeting on the afternoon of March 24. Mays informed Tyler at 9 a.m. that she could not attend because of a doctor's appointment.

"When she refused to go to the meeting, the Policies and Procedures Committee told me that I had to declare her seat vacant," Tyler said. "The grounds were there."

Mays' vacancy, however, was declared through a memo from Tyler at approximately 10 a.m. that morning. The meeting was scheduled for 2 p.m.

In addition to questioning the procedure of her ousting, Mays said that the actual bylaw violations cited in Tyler's proclamation were not

refuses to communicate and let us know what's going on," said Tyler.

"I've asked her numerous times to write things down so we know what's going on, and she doesn't."

Tyler also noted Mays' refusal to renegotiate the contract of jazz musician Hollis Gentry for last week's SpringFest. After a consensus was reached in the ASG regarding the contract with Gentry, whose fee would have brought the event over budget, Tyler claims that the members of the ASG changed their minds.

When he demanded that Mays call and obtain a new contract, she refused, saying that she had already faxed it. Tyler later found out that Gentry had not even received the contract until later that evening.

Munoz defends the proclamation, saying that Mays flagrantly abused her power and engaged in behavior not becoming an ASG officer.

He also cited Mays' financial irresponsibility concerning ASG events. "More than a couple of events have fallen through. She was told by me at least three times that she may not spend more than $200 [without the board's approval] and she did," said Munoz.

Mays responded to Munoz's accusations by saying that she believes that Munoz has a personal problem with her. She views his citations of bylaw violations as nitpicking.

"We have this small office, and he· s sending me letters threatening that I can be impeached because I didn't sign up for my o(fice hours.

How come he can't come to me about these small things?" asked Mays.

"Tony is sitting there acting like mister hall monitor instead of wanting to work with us. If you do one thing wrong, he's going to get you," said Mays.

legitimate. In the memo, Tyler stated that Mays violated by laws that req uire her to publish the ASG's monthly newsletter and attend Inter-Club Council meetings as the ASG representative.

"The newsletter comes out every month. The legislation was passed on March I, so [by declaring the seat vacant] they're jumpi ng the gun. They can't oust me under that purpose alone," said Mays.

Mays refutes claims concerning absences at the ICC meetings as well.

"If I hadn't been going to the meetings, how come we didn't talk about impeaching me until March 15? On Dec. 7, I told Merri II that he should probably appoint someone to the meetings because I couldn't do it." Mays said.

Before he proclaimed Mays' seat vacant, Tyler said in an interview that there was some question in his mind about whether he thought that anything other than the physical attack of Munoz would be enough to impeach Mays.

"The only thing she is real ly being impeached for is that she cussed out Tony, pushed him and shoved him," said Tyler. "I told Tony that if I had to vote on his impeachment letter, the only thing I would have based my vote on would have been the [physical assault and verbal abuse]."

Although his proclamation was based primarily on the same bylaw violations that Munoz named, Tyler added that he believes other reasons for her termination exist. He accuses Mays of "blatantly abusing her power" and acting frequently for the ASG on her own whim. ''The whole thing is that she refuses to listen to us when we' re giving her criticism and ideas.

Court: Community Colleges can't enforce Prop. 187 Brian Wallace Mmwgi111: Editor

The San Francisco Superior Court issued a prelim inary inj unction March 15 prohibiting the implementation a nd enforcement of Proposition 187.

The prelim inary injunction, sent out to each of California's community college campuses, states that within I 0 days of its receipt schools must notify currently enrolled stude nts of the court's actions.

"Pending further court order, this college will take no action to prohibit the admiss ion, enrollment or attendance of any person who isn't a United States citizen or any person who isn't otherwise authorized

by federal law to be present in the United States," the injuction states.

It also says that colleges cannot take steps to determine the legal status of enrollees if they plan to use that information to implement the enforcement of Prop. 187.

Students and applicants can onl y be asked to verify their immigration status for the purpose of determining residency status fo r tuition.

No infor m ation tha t schoo ls gather about students or applicants can be transmitted to the U.S . Immigration and Naturali zation Service (INS), according to the injunction.

The trial on whether the colleges will be permanently barred fro m implementing the proposition is schedul ed for Septem ber.

Is it time to butt out?

â&#x20AC;˘ Smoking is a health menace

â&#x20AC;˘ Don't invade peoples' privacy

Carla Mays

Steven Zivanic

Staff Writer

Staff writer

Second-hand smoke isn't harmless. It kills.

Second-hand smoke contains over 4,300 different chemicals, more than 60 of which are known to cause cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency figures that between 2,500 and 3,300 non-smokers die annually, and some estimate that up to 300,000 people suffer lower respiratory tract infections each year from second-hand smoke.

With all this knowledge, how is is justifiable that smoking is still allowed on campus? Answer: It is not. It must be banned.

Who wants to get out of class or be sitting in the Student Union patio area and have a disrespectful student pull out one of their cancer sticks, light it up and blow choking clouds of dark gray smoke into your face? It not only induces gagging, but it's unhealthy. According to smokers, this is a "per onalliberty."

There is no "personal liberty" for the nonsmoker who dies of lung cancer because of involuntarily inhaling these foul vapors. It infringes upon the rights of people to be healthy and cancer-free.

On top of all that, handicapped students are at risk in a different way. Smokers who carry their coffin-nails around their waists have been known to burn people passing by in their wheelchairs.

Palomar College educates about the dangers of drug use and alcohol abuse, but they do very little to educate people about the bestknown carcinogen, cigarettes. All kinds of laws are on the books to protect students and staff from hazardous materials, but nothing is done to protect the people from second-hand smoke. Think about that for a second. Cigarette smoking is the No. I preventable cause of death, yet it is still legal to do it in public.

If a non-smoker is sitting next to a person smoking a cigarette, they are both inhaling the same smoke whether it's indoors or out.

It is not right that everyone shares the risks of being exposed to puffs of second-hand smoke. If a person wants to smoke, he should not be allowed to do it anywhere that is not totally private. This is a community collegea place for the community to be educated. It is not a place for a person to have a death-wish fulfilled while passing that death- wish on to the community.

Smoking is banned in workplaces, restaurants, classrooms and malls. Why shouldn't it be banned on the campus as well?

So what's wrong with smoking? If an individual chooses to smoke and that person does no harm to anyone else while smoking, then who has the right to tell that person what to do?

Smokers already face too many restrictions in restaurants, hotel rooms, public transportation and department stores. Who has the right to say who can and can't light up? The ASG or state legislature can govern a school, but nota person's health. If smoking were to be banned on campus, it would be as if they were saying they know what's best for the population in general.

It's all up to you, not the school.

Second hand smoke is harmless; it's just a bad odor. There is more smog from automobiles and factories than all the second-hand cigarette smoke combined, yet all the blame is forced upon smokers for contributing to non-smokers' deaths. If someone develops lung cancer these days, and that person was a non-smoker, often that individual will blame a smoker that he worked with, or was associated with at one time, as the cause of the illness.

The fact is that it's never been proven that non-smokers can get any of the negative effects of smoking.

Also, these negative effects are largely connected to family history . Some people smoke two or three packs a day, eat nothing but smoked bacon and greasy Italian sauasages, and live to 100 years old.

On the other hand, a non-smoking-nondrinking-super-vegetarian-dynamo-brusselsprout-and-wheat-germ-devouring creampuff might develop cancer at age 40 due to severe malnutrition .

The ire directed towards smokers is becoming ridiculous . It's getting to the point that smokers are going to have to dig a hole in the ground and dwell in there just to smoke.

Rights are involved here. Without sufficient proof that passive second-hand smoke does significant damage to people, no level of government has the right to impede' in the private lives of the students.

There are indeed risks with smo~ ing, as there are with anything else in life, such as drinking, playing contact sports and these days even working in a post office. These are, however, risks the individual must accept, and the school has no right to say otherwise.

Should smoking be banned on campus?

Public nuisance or inalienable right? Smoking is becoming more and more of a social pariah, and it is being banned in public places everywhere.

Should it be banned from the Palomar College campus?

INSIDE: Palomar prez changes course of history!

By CHRIS GLEASON I Disr:runtled Editor

History student Carl McDonald went to the Snack Shack last Thursday expecting to purchase his favorite post-accounting class munchie-and instead bought the devil!

"After I nuked [the cheeseburger], I opened the wrapper. .. and there he was! Red as a lobster and ugly as, well, sin," said a horrified McDonald about the beef-enveloped Beelzebub. "I asked for my money back, but the girl at the register said demonic possession isn't grounds for a refund."

Registerperson Sandra Andersen was unavailable for comment, apparently ill with a pea soup-induced food poisoning, accompanied by dizziness and severe neck spasms.

Two local paranorrnalists have come up with three theories as to why Satan would invade a cheeseburger: • Hell is no fun anymore since Kurt Cobain arrived and took over the whole damn place.

• After three years in the Snack Shack refrigerator, SOMETHING was bound to grow on it.

• Is there anything more evil than a microwavable cheeseburger?

A third paranorrnalist, wishing to remain anonymous, dismissed the sighting as ball lightning, and added that skeptics should read the Time-Life book.

Taco shop uses human liposuction fat as lard for deep fryer - and customers love it!

By STEVEN ZIVANIC I Grunt

It's made out of human lard!

BEFORE AND AFTER: Former Palomar student Larry Manteca at over 500 pounds in 1977 <ABOVE) and after his massive liposuction surgery which brought him down to a svelte 108 pounds (RIGHT).

Patrick Michael "El Whappo" 0' Brien, proprietor of the Taco Tavern of San Mar~os, explained the use of such an unusual ingredient like this: 0' Brien's cousin, Dr. Sol Goldstein, performed a liposuction on a man back in 1979 and placed the container of fat in 0' Brien's restaurant, as is his custom.

0' Brien, mistaking the container for a bucket of his usual beef lard, placed the fat of former Palomar student Larry Manteca into the deep fryer.

"People wanted to know my secret, so I finally opened up," said 0' Brien. "I've been using human lard for over 15 years, and people just love the taste!"

As evidence of this, 0' Brien's in-house business tripled, El Whappo's Taco Tavern became a world-famous institution, winning awards all over the globe.

Despite the use of human lard, not even the Food and Drug Administration has attempted

to shut down El Whappo's.

"I love these damn tacos too much. Who cares if they're made using ingredients from that fat guy," said FDA administrator Teddy Dill weed.

After years of denial and dodging the press, Manteca finally consented to an exclusive Tellascoop interview.

As it turns out, Manteca held down six jobs to support his massive appetite.

"I used to eat about 12-15 meals a day, preferably pickled artichokes and Italian sausage. I was able to eat about 50 or 60 sausages for breakfast aloue, not to mention the jars of artichokes," said Manteca.

Manteca, who lost 450 pounds after the operation, couldn't believe someone found out.

"This really ticks me off," said Manteca, who added, "I never told anybody ... not even my own mother, and now I got some taco chef telling the whole world. It's just not fair!"

Palomar College President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs will certainly make his way into the history books.

Not only has he made an enormous impact on the college, he has shaped the course of human events!

Whether it's war, famine, drought or civic improvements, you can be sure that Dr. Boggs has done his best to better the situation.

For instance, The Tellascoop has uncovered evidence that Boggs was the one that suggested that Ghandi work in ¡IJ1dia!

"When Dr. Boggs met Ghandi," said an anonymous source in the Counseling Department, "Ghandi was part of the free speech movement at Berkeley."

Boggs is a modest man, who goes to great lengths to hide the impact he's had on the world.

For instance, his birth certificate wrongly claims that Boggs was born well after Ghandi 's assassination. Fortunately, we at The Tellascoop know better than to believe public records.

But Boggs doesn't limit his influences to world events . He has used his insight even to aid the entertainment industry .

W illi am Shatner of "Star Trek" and "T.J. Hooker" fame attributes his success with women to Dr. Boggs.

"Before I met George ... I... had to brag ... about being 'Captain ... Kirk' ... or hosting 'Rescue: 911 ,"' said Shatner.

"But, now ... all I have to do ... is tell... people ... I... know ... George!" he added.

Even with his many side projects, Boggs still manages to keep Palomar's improvements his number one concern. For instance, Boggs is a veteran of both the Korean and VietNam wars.

"I would have been involved in the Persian Gulf conflict if the Transit Center hadn't taken so long to be completed," said Boggs.

But perhaps Boggs' biggest contribution to mankind happened in 1988 when he single-handedly saved humanity from the super-monster Godzilla.

"That one was a bit of a stretch. Fighting a400-foot lizard isn't as easy as it sounds," said Boggs, who had to spontaneously grow to the height of 408-feet, 2-inches during the attack.

But, unfortunately, this feat has taken its toll on Dr. Boggs.

"I never truly got over the whole Godzilla thing," Boggs told The Tellascoop in 1992. "He may have been threatening the world by breathing fire, crushing towns and killing innocent bystanders, but I'm going to miss those movies .... "

TWO BRUSHES WITH DESTINY: Palomar SuperintendenUPresident Dr. George Boggs spontaneously grows over 400-feet to fight Godzilla (ABOVE). At a crucial moment in India's struggle for independence, Dr. Boggs steers Ghandi in the right direction (LEFT).

SASQUATCH SPOTTED IN ARBORETUM! ¡The legendary Bigfoot is here on the Palomar campus!

According to several reports, Sasquatch has been seen roaming around the seldom-used north end of campus.

"I seen 'im," said Gunther Muphy, an Agricultural Science major at Palomar.

"He musta been 'bout five-foot tall an' maybe 300 pounds! I saw him eatin' jest 'boutevr'ything in sight. Then he turned to me an' asked me if'n /had somethin' ta eat!"

Silas Hodgson, a gun enthusiast from Lakeside who was sightseeing with his

THEM'S BIG FEET: Palomar sightseers Bobbi Jo and Silas Hodgson got more than they bargained for when they snapped this picture of the Arboretum, for behind them is the legendary Bigfoot (INSET)!

wife/sister Bobbi Jo, 15, out in the arboretum confirms Murphy's report.

"He had these big black eyes an' size15 feet an' a cute little tail with two hairs stickin' right out of it," said Hodgson.

"Wish I'd had my shotgun," he added.

"I'da filled 'im so full of lead we coulda used 'im as a pencil."

No one is sure where this Bigfoot came from. Several theories have been offered, including one that says the Bigfoot is actually a hamster that was involved in a genetic experiment somewhere in the Life Sciences Department.

"Not Me!"

Palomar campus built on alien landing site!

What was once believed to be modern art on Palomar's campus has been revealed to be an artifact left behind by ancient aliens from the planet Xycor!

SPACE JUNK: Here are several of the "alien artifacts" discovered by Dr. Ulysses P. Throckmorton. While their authenticity may be disputed, the question remains: what are they?!

Dr. Ulysses P. Throckmorton of the New Age Scientific Association, made this startling discovery late last Friday evening.

The structures, located outside the Welding Technology Building on the south end of campus, have been considered modem art for a number of years. Many people remember when many of these structures were built.

"Ah, but that's just a ruse!" said Throckmorton in an exclusive phone interview. "The alien civilization that constructed the structures are using mass hypnosis to make us believe that it's modem art!" · Throckmorton points to similari-

ties between several of the structures and similar structures in the New Mexico desert.

"The similarities are too many to ignore," said Throckmorton."Why on Earth would anyone build either ofthem?" · While Throckmorton is certain of the validity of his claims, the rest of the scientific community is not so certain.

"I think he's a kook," said Dr. Peter Kubiaski of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

"They're just jealous," said Throckmorton in his own defense.

"The scientific community has always been leery of my discoveries because I use my own gut feelings about the things I investigate." he said.

"I mean, how long are we (scientists) going to be slaves to scientific methodology and not take chances?" he added.

Word To The Vize Jeff Vize

1995: The future Age of Innocence We've all heard tales of grandpa and Uncle Murray in their youths when they purchased bicycles for 10 cents each and rode them in 12 feet of snow across the Pacific to defeat the Japanese in World War II. Whatever the situation was, they liked it because of this apparent human instinct to be able to remember even the worst times as the greatest. Experience the cyclical glorification of each past generation and its lifestyle.

But will it be the same for us? With all the problems of the world today, you have to wonder just how bad will the future be so that we will be able to look back on the '80s and '90s as "good." There's no telling for sure, but I think I have a pretty good idea of what my grandkids will be hearing: •O.j.: The most overused glorification will certainly be the O.J. trial. Forty years from now,the O.J. trial and its related branches will be the fastest growing job field in the United States and our era will be looked upon with envy. After all, we were alive when it started.

Entering its fifth decade, the trial will continue with only one of its original partici. pants-a cryogenically frozen Rosa Lopez.

Despite the fact that there will be no reason for it to continue, seeing as the defendant is already dead, the American people's fascination with the trial carries on. Now accounting for 17 percentoftheGDP, the trial has pumped a ludicrous amount of jobs into the journalism industry and created a union composed of workers whose jobs rely solely on the trial.

•Culture: Seeing as TV is quickly becoming the only form of culture we have, the highquality programming that dominates today will surely be remembered fondly . In the future, we'll remember a time when you could watch something that was "wholesome."

With the advent of 400 channels on the tube and relaxed restrictions in the future, look for things like "The Explicit Cartoon Sex Network." When we reminisce about watching former porn stars with ESP discuss their impotence on Geraldo, our grandkids will scoff.

"That's the stuff of cartoons," they'lllaugh.

•Technology: Not to be without conflict about whose way is "better," the future will hold many heated disputes over new technologies. While we'll associate our CDs and fax machines with the wonderful memories of yesteryear, they' II flaunt devices small enough to fit in your nostril, capable of bread baking, cellular phoning and cloning, all in one.

Although it's hard to imagine our time as quaint, there will be a time when mankind will envy us for our simplicity. Then again, maybe the only ones envying our time will be the college students majoring in the O.J. trial.

Staff Editorial

Affirmative Action has outlived its usefulness Pete Wilson is trying to repeal Affirmative Action laws, and it's about time. The idea behind affirmative action was a sound one; people who had been discriminated against for years would finally get a fair shake.

The problem was, it went too far.

We went from discrimination to reverse discrimination and neither is acceptable. In some cases it could even be deadly.

Letters to the Editor

Avoid covering trivial issues

Do not forget the Tenth Amendment

This letter is in response to months of poorly written essays, illegitimate, unresearched opinions, and the diatribes on an array of juvenile issues.

Your organization and faculty ought to be concerned with the viability of your students in the free market, not with the ability to fill a page. Is it a requirement of small publications to concern themselves with small issues?

Please do not view this with indignation. My only concern is for the opinion page to be a provocative basin of information concerning the world beyond our stumbling feet-a concentration of thoughts and ideas that both stimulate the mind and demand a response, an opinion page that represents us, the future of American thought.

The opinions expressed in Liz Bennett's editorial ("The states simply cannot be trusted," March 24, p. 8) make one doubt whether she understands the foundational principles of our nation's government. Congress is right to turn the school lunch program over to the states under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, which reserves to the states (or to the people) all powers not specifically entrusted to the federal government.

If the state legislatures are incapable of handling the program, it is the responsibility of the people of the states to replace the legislators.

Ms. Bennett states that the federal government should take care of this program because the states cannot manage money.

Does she consider a $4.8 trillion national debt a mark of fiscal responsibility? And how are "the feds" trying to pad their own pockets by relinquishing control to the states?

This proposal would result in~ fewer federal bureaucrats.

In the interest of journalistic integrity and in an effort to avoid the distortion of facts, The Telescope would like to retract and clarify portions of its March 24 staff editorial.

The editorial, titled "ASG almost ·cost Palomar SpringFest" mistakenly stated that the ASG attempted at last minute to cancel Palomar's annual SpringFest event, held on March 21 and 22.

The entire event was not in danger of being cancelled. Only the portion involving jazz musician Hollis Gentry was ever potentially in danger.

In addition, the editorial stated that according to bylaws Mays needs no vote in order to appropriate funds from social events.

While this is partially true, it was omitted that President Merrill Tyler had legally declared that Mays would be required to bring further expenditures over $200 before the board for approval.

ENTERTAINMENT Take a trip with the sounds of Building 14 â&#x20AC;˘ Dedication and talent are the secret to this band's style Local Music Box Peter Sansom Entertainment Editor

It is a quiet spring night in San Diego.

Outside a gentle offshore breeze is lulling palm trees back and forth. Calm and peaceful.

Inside the Sound Trax studio it's a different story though.

With six or seven bands practicing in the studios, the hallway has the ambiance of a multiple car crash. All sorts of sounds-some good, others not-colliding in a musical pileup of sorts.

Fortunately, behind the closed door of studio three there is a refuge-there is Building 14. Like the life-giving rays of the rising sun, the band's playing exudes energy and promise as it envelops the plain room.

With the talents ofNicholas Spear (vocals, rhythm guitar), Eric Chase (lead guitar), J. Micheal Hawkins (bass) and Chris Beall (drums), the spell of Building 14 has been cast. And what a pleasant one it IS. Although the band's members have only been playing together for eight months, they resonate an unspoken chemistry normally reserved for more mature bands.

In his own right each member of this fourpiece is a talented musician . They feed off of each other's musical visions, creating an ethereal , alternative progressive sound.

Parallels can be drawn from everything, from Pink Floyd to Live, in the band's loose, other-worldly approach to music. However, through these influences, Building 14 has crafted their own original style.

One of the main threads that has been weaved into the band's sound IS the duo guitar team of Spear and Chase. Spear, a drama major at SDSU, lays his hypnotic vocals over his rhythm playing, while Chase propels the songs with soaring leads and backup vocals.

Spear, who currently works as a self-described "petroleum transfer engineer" at Chevron, has a truly unique and moving voice.

Honestly, it defies categorization. But it does

Right to left the members of Building 14 are Eric Chase (lead guitar), Chris Beall (drums), Nicholas Spear (vocals/guitar) and J. Micheal Hawkins. The band is currently in the studio working on their debut CD scheduled for summer release. mesh perfectly with the band's expansive sound which conjures up images of large open places.

The Pink Floyd parallel can be seen in the two's creative use of volume swells and other vanous guitar manipulations.

"It ' s to create a feeling basically, you can take guitar beyond playing guitar," said Chase.

He's only played for five years, but Chase has a natural way around the guitar which he attributes to years oflnvolvement with music .

Still, he focuses on feeling, sometimes losing himself in the process.

"I just go into my own zone, which can be good and bad," said Chase. "Sometimes I'll go off into my own world and lose connection with these guys."

Inspirational guitar work is one of the

cornerstones of the band, but the driving rhythm section delivers the entire packagefresh and on time.

Beall has been playing for I I years and is a definite stand-out, negotiating rhythm changes with a flair for catchy beats. Not only is he serious about his playing, but he is deadset on his future aspirations.

"To me playing and the band are everything. This is what I want to do the rest of my life," said Beall. Still in high school, he plans to attend Palomar next fall and work toward a four-year degree.

Accenting Beall's playing is Hawkin's progressive bass playing. He has a well-balanced style that freely alternates between solo and rhythm approaches.

"I play bass because my dad took me into

a guitar shop when I was 16 and he said, 'there are guitars and basses, guitar player's in front. he shows off, bass player stays behind and makes sure everything stays together,"' said Hawkins. 'That is how I decided to play bass , hanging back is my style."

Unfortunately, the band won't have their debut CD out until summer, but they can be heard around town.

They ' re scheduled for an upcoming sho'>' at the New Bachenal and there is a possibility of playing the Art Walk festival in April.

Searching them out would be a trip well worth taking.

"All we are doing is drawing a map to a destination that we think we see, and whether or not the listener gets to that destination is up to them, we give them the map," said Spear.

Dance twirls into Palomar Diana Hooper Staff Writer

March 31 is the opening night of Palomar's quarterly Dance Performance in the new Studio Six entitled "Contemporary Dance Review,'' an extravaganza of modern dance and mixed media.

This selection of dances was created and choreographed by Dance Instructors Mary Neuru and Faith Jensen-Ismay in collaboration with Palomars intercession dance class.

The performance is a collection of modern dances ranging from playful dances set to poetry such as works by e.e. cummings and Dr. Seuss books to serious themes about humanity, "Our world, what it is today, and what it used to be," said Neuru.

This type of dance is a representation of an eclectic mix of styles from artist such as Bella Lewitzky, Jenifer Muller and Merce Cunningham.

Neuru and Jensen-Ismay collaborated with the three branches of the performing arts,

dance, musicians and theater, for the performance.

"It ' s been the effort of all three strands of the performing arts to make Rm D-6 usable as a new performance space, and it's now called Studio Six," said Neuru.

The concert includes guest artists from MOJALET Dance Collective, a local San Diego dance company, and live music will be supplied by composer Emmalyne Moreno on the synthesizer.

"Dance is a live and changing art. You see the expression of emotion in dance more than other arts," said Jensen-Ismay.

"It's not true that you have to start dance when you are six," said Devon McFerran.

"I'm glad that I finally decided to go into dance. For years I didn't because I thought I couldn't cut it, I had the typical fears-too fat, too old, etc."

"You're never too old," said McFerran.

"There aren't any requirements for size, shape or sex in modern dance."

Joaquin Gamboa, a Palomar dance major

Courtesy of Performing Arts

Peter Czerner and Robin Stutzman-Smith are two of the performers featured in the Contemporary Dance Review that is scheduled for March 31, April1 and 2. originally from Mexico City, said there are only six male dancers in the performing arts department at Palomar.

"Many people think dance is really feminine which it isn't, this is just a stereotype.

Dance is what you make it," said Gamboa. "In other cultures there are big positions for male

dancers. Look at Russia, most of the dance students are male."

The three performances are March 31, April I, and 2 at the Howard Brubeck Theater. Tickets are on sale at the theater box office for $9, $7, and $5 with a student ID. For any further information call Ext. 2453.

The Telescope cause musically you get so attached to what you're working on at the moment.

The new album sounds a lot different, it's not as slick. The sounds are more raw and unpolished.

I think it has a lot of energy, but some people like the first one better and some like the new one better. So, it is a matter of opinion.

Q: There is going to be a new M & M's color. If it was up to you which color would it be, pink, purple or blue? And why?

A: Pink. I don't know, I have not given it all that much thought.

Question

& ans111eT with QuicksanJ Peter Sansom Entertainment Editor Building upon theirdebutrelease, Quicksand's new album "Manic Compression" is full of snarling guitars,jackhammerdrummingand straining vocals.

Before playing their set at the Offspring concert, the band's drummer, Alan Cage, took a few moments to speak with The Telescope about the new album, the tour and critical world issues.

Q: How is the tour with the Offspring going?

A: It's great. A lot of sold out shows and good catering, like this vegetable plate. The Offspring are all really nice guys though.

Q: The new album "Manic Compression" is tighter than the band's previous release "Slip."

Was that intentional?

A: Every record you do is different, and it is a much different recording than "Slip."

Q:Did the band play stairway to heaven? No, we just sucked our own songs up. We sucked so bad that when we said, 'We're Quicksand and we're from New York' people said, 'Like, go back.'

Q: Personally I think part of the band's heaviness comes from your drums. How did you like the drums on the new album?

A: I liked the way the drums sounded on "Slip." The new record is really compressed, and everything is dry and up front. It's a matter of taste, but I thought the first album had more dimension.

Q: If you could tour with anybody, who would it be?

A: There are different reasons for doing a tour. The main reason I think is because you want to reach new people.

If it came down to a band that I personally loved and no one had heard of, and a band I wasn't all that into, but we would play in front of a lot of people, I would choose the one that brought the crowd.

A: That is pretty much up to the label. There job is to choose what they think will get the most radio play. Obviously, we like all of the songs.

Q: What songs off the new album do you enjoy playing more than others?

A: On the new album I like "Brown Gargantuan" a lot. That is a fun one to play.

Q: What are some of your influences, past and present?

A: Most of my style that I got down playing was when I was young. Now I'll see people that I think are really great, butthey won't really influence me. But when I was young I listened to John Bonham and Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the Rush's drummer.

Q: Is there any formula for putting the songs together?

A: No, everybody just does their own thing, and we all work it out together. Sometimes someone will come in with one good idea and say, 'Check this out,' but mostly we just jam. It works out well.

Q: When was the first time you realized that Quicksand was going to work out as a band?

A: Before we did our first tour in Europe, which was in a milk truck, we threw together an EP (Revelation) and after we heard it, we were happy with the way it sounded. So that was a good start.

There were a lot of small shows though, we would say, 'yeah 250 people in London!' That wasalotof people to us back then.

Q: How does this tour differ from the Anthrax and White Zombie tour?

A: Those kids were a lot more like metal kids and these kids are more like MTV. It's not like these kids are punk and grew up listening to punk music. I'm sure there are kids who were into Offspring before, but 95 percent of the crowd is the MTV crowd.

Q: What was touring in Japan like? How was the crowd?

A: It's really weird, because they will clap after the song and then just stop all of a sudden. They are so polite it's scary sometimes. It would be dead quiet until the next song, so we just let our guitars sustain, because the silence. is weird.

Q: Seen any good films lately?

A: "Before Sunrise" was really good, and I liked "Pulp Fiction."

But "Before Sunrise" really blew me away though.

Q: Any new bands you like?

A: Shiner, a band from Lawerence, Kansas has a cool sound.

Robert L. Jenkins has made his mark at Palomar College surrounded by controversy.

In his last four years at Palomar College, Jenkins says that he has been "so enriched by the academic experience," that he has been more than happy to volunteer his extra timeandefforton campus and within the community. And at times, his political activism has generated heated debate among students and faculty .

Jenkins,31, has served as a member and fo under of almost 50 clubs and school groups, and he says he has managed to be equally productive and im portant in all clubs in which he has been involved.

He was recently elected vice president of the North San Diego County chapter for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). "I became involved with the NAACP to help the advancement of all colored people, and the community in general," he says.

Jenkins enrolled at Palomar in the summer of 1991, aspiring to become a computer technician. As he took more and more courses, Jenkins changed his major, and is currently pursuing an associate arts degree in African studies, liberal arts and science, and a certificate in American sign language interpreting.

In 1992 Jenkins joined the Associated Student Government because of what he felt was "a misrepresentation of the people." Jenkins believed that the school government didn't promote racial equality, or equality among students in general.

He says he decided to join and make a difference.

He served as senator, vice president of social affairs, and according to Jenkins," managed to get done what was really needed ."

In 1993, Jenkins asked for $3,500 for Black History Month, and received the funding immediately, no questions asked. Jenkins recalls that as a result, other members of the ASG began to label him "powerhungry." Jenkins says that he was simply outspoken, and did whatever it took to get the job done "Just because I got what I wanted

doesn't make me power hungry. It simply makes me efficient," Jenkins says .

"While in the ASG, I accomplished many things, and changed peoples' opinions. There were several Caucasians trying to address me with slang--derogatory names in a friendly way, as if that was OK to say. I had to educate them, and show them the correct professional way to deal with people of color," Jenkins remembers.

Jenkins says that people wonder why he is 31 years old and still in college. He responds: "Black people were slaves not long ago. None of my fami ly has ever been to college, and some of them didn 't even have an opportunity to go. I, on the other hand do, and I'm making the best of it.

Not only has Jenkins promoted his beliefs and ideas at Palomar, but

has used them in his personnallife.

Jenkins has always fought for what he thought was right, In 1989, he won a difficult custody battle for his 7-year-old daughter Fallen.

Jenkins is self employed, with a successful home cake decorati ng business, which he plans to expand soon.

He has been a single father for 6 years now, and even though he says the fina ncial burdens have been tough, he has fo und a way to pull through.

Currently applying for various scholarships throughout the United States, Jenki ns is putting in an effort to get accepted at Harvard or Stanford University.

As Jenkins looks toward the future he has a positive outlook and has his goals set. "With knowledge of self, you can almost accomplish anything," sums up Jenkins.

SPORTS Coach Duell falls victim to wrinkle in system Jeremy Lynch Sports Editor

After one of the most successful women's basketball seasons in recent history, Palomar is reviewing applications for a full-time head women's basketball coach.

The present coach, Kelly Duell, led the Laciy Comets to a 10-17 season, including a third place finish in the Pacific Coast Conference. The 10-17 record doesn't reflect how close Palomar was to going J7-10. Twice the Comets lost heart-breakers to first place Southwestern, and they were the bridesmaid in three different tournaments during the year.

"We only had two sophomores this year," commented Duell. "Our record didn't show how good we were."

Duell's unremarkable record at Palomar

notwithstanding, the Comet players have really taken a liking to Duell and would be upset to see her leave.

"She is the best coach I've ever had," said starting guard Terri Kane. "She knows the sport and gets her point across."

Coach Duell does have the necessary experience to know the game of basketball. During Duell 1s 13-year coaching career, she has worked at Western Baptist College, a Division IINAIAcollege in Salem, Oregon; Mesa Community College; Valley Christian High School in San Jose and coached a local Navy service team to the Southern Pacific Conference title.

Duell received her B.A. degree in physical education from San Diego State University and Masters of Science degree in instruc-

Men's volleyball takes two M ichael A. La Rocchia Staff Writer

In the biggest match of the season, the Comets men's volleyball team did to Los Angeles Pierce, the states second ranked team, what they've done to most opponents this season, they crushed them in three straight games for the match win.

"I am very proud of my team," said Comet Head Coach Duncan McFarland. "We played as well as any team I've seen in eight years of coaching."

The victory was not a fluke. The Comets have plowed through any team that has stood in their way, and the Comets have now swept their last six matches, including a 15-1, 15-9, 15-5 road win over El Camino on March 22.

The Comets should now get some much de-

served attention.

"We should be considered one of the top teams in the state," said McFarland.

Every Comet player has contributed in the big win over Pierce. Matt Wilkinson racked up a Comet season high 56 assists. Dave Forester played a solid match with 15 kills, two aces, and three stuff blocks.

In game three against Pierce, the Comets found themselves down 8-4. But Jonathon Yarris entered, and had three stuff blocks and two kills to make sure the match wouldn't go into a fourth or fifth game.

With Chuck McLaughlin's nine kills, and Seth Schreiner's eight kills, four aces, and two stuff blocks, Pierce never had a chance in the match.

Palomar's next home game is April? at the Dome against Orange Coast College.

tiona] leadership from National University.

She also has an A.A. degree in child development from De Anza College, Cupertino.

Besides having the basketball knowledge required for the job, according to her players, Duell gets the job done off the court as well.

"The coach finally got us together like a family," said forward Angela Lee. "We've all grown, not only as basketball players but as people too."

"Coach Duell helps us in our personal lives," added Kane. "She is like a big sis off the court."

Duell seems to feel the same way about her players.

"Thi is the best team I've coached in 13 years," said Duell. "I love them all. They are a great group of girls." '

According to sources in human resources a new full-time position is being filled that will be three-quarters physical education instructor, and one-quarter basketball coach. Apparently, when Duell took over for Jon Cnossen at the begi nn ing of the year she was hired as a part-time employee.

Duell is one of the applicants being considered for the new full-time position, and would jump at the chance to make the women's basketball program her own.

"I've made it very clear that I want this program to be my own," said Duel!. "I want to stay at Palomar if I can."

Athletic Director John Woods could not comment because this was a contractual matter. According to sources in human resources, the position should be filled within a week.

Men's tennis wins big, loses big Jeremy Lynch Sports Editor

Any way the arithmetic is done, team depth plus overall talent equals victory. Palomar's men's tennis team added both those factors together to overwhelm Imperial Valley 9-0 in a Pacific Coast Conference match Monday.

All the singles matches were straight set victories for the Comets except for No. I Ray Stark. Stark was taken three sets by 38-yearold DaveTrebisky, Men's Tennis who plays No. I for the Arabs. InterestRoundup ingly enough, to his credit Trebisky played both Ivan Lend] and Vitus Gerilitus in the French Open Juniors.

Trebisky took advantage of Stark coming out flat in the first set to win 6-3. Stark settled down and found his usual form to win the last two sets 6-1, 6-4.

"I couldn't hit a back hand to save my life [in the first set]," said Stark.

The doubles matches were a mirror image of the singles. The matches were all straight set victories for Palomar, except the No. I doubles match. This time Stark teamed up

with Roger Glaser to take on the pesky Trebisky and fellow teammate Javier Leos. ··we just fell asleep in the second set," commented Glaser.

To avoid any ribbing from fellow teammates, Stark and Glaser woke up in time to win a tight match 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.

Palomar's Head Coach Jim Miller had a few thoughts about why the No. I doubles team struggled.

"I've been fighting with Roger to hit a slice rather than hit over the ball on his back hand return," said Miller. "He has a real good backhand slice. He should use it more often."

Even with the momentum that the Comets took into the showdown against Grossmont, it wasn't enough. No. I is still No. I. The top ranked Griffins took care of the Comets 8-1, and continued there dominance of the Pacific Coast Conference.

The only bright spot for Palomar on Tuesday was in the No. I doubles match were Stark and Glaser, the fourteenth ranked doubles team in the state, beat Grossmont's No. I doubles in three sets.

The Comets next match will be against Southwestern April 4 here at Palomar as the Comets tune up for the PCC tournament.

SCOREBOARD Pacific Coast Conference Baseball SOUTHWESTERN 6, PALOMAR3 • At Palomar: Catcher Marty Camacho went 3-for-4, including an RBI double and third baseman Steve Rohlmeier collected two hits and one RBI, but it wasn't enough for the Comets (9-14, 5-6 PCC).
