ASG approves budget with unanimous vote Jeff Vize Staff Writer

Battling higher monetary requests from several departments, the Associated Student Government passed its budget unanimously May 3 for the 1995-96 school year, despite an estimated zero increase in income.

The ASG' s budget of$93,000 covers funding of 33 itemized department budgets on campus. Overall, 10 items received funding

Health, safety fair scheduled Student Services is holding the second annual Health & Safety Expo, Wednesday, May 10 from 9:30a.m. to I p.m. on the lawn in front of the Student Union.

increases, while eight saw cuts. The remaining 15 were unchanged from last year.

Among the hardest hit by the cuts were diversity education and the ASG retreat fund , with each losing $1,000. In addition, ASG assistance for the independently published annual student handbook was reduced by $2,000. Locker funding was the only line item eliminated.

The largest increase came for the hourly salaries fund. After receiving $150 this year, the salary line item will jump to $4,150 in 1995-96, to cover costs ofPalomar' s recently expanded summer tutoring program. The ASG also doubled its election budget to $1 ,000. Several members believed that this would help them to draw greater voter turnout than the I percent average in elections this year.

Most prominent in voicing disapproval to the ASG's budget was the Inter-Club Council, whose budget of $5,550 was unchanged from last year. Members were upset because they had been originally granted a preliminary increase of $3,550.

This increase was granted at the budget and finance committee, which reviews department requests and drafts the budget proposal which is voted on by the ASG. According to ASG budget approval procedure, the committee ' s decision is not final and their budget version is strictly preliminary.

As a result, the ICC found their increase eliminated and redistributed to other line items.

Several members thought the sudden retraction of the money was planned.

"The only reason they gave [the preliminary] increase was to to pacify me," said Robert Jenkins, whose term as ICC chairper-

Speaker analyzes shortage of female physicists PROVIDENCE, R.I.-Speaking to an audience of more than 100 at Brown University, Judith Franz discussed her five-year-old project to study why there are so few women in the discipline of physics.

The project. which received a grant from the Nat1onal Science Foundation soon after the stud) began, partially consisted of VIsiting physics departments at umversitics throughout the nation to discover what the climate was like for women in those departments.

Although many women earned medical degrees during the 1980s, few achieved them in physics. In 1984. 56 percent of umversities employed no women faculty in physics departments. Today. there are more female faculty members in physics, and only about 36 percent of the depart-

ments employ no women. In addition, between 1985and 1994,thenumberofphysics departments with two or more female faculty members increased to 20 percent.

Franz pointed out, the United States lags behind countries like France where 18 percent of all physicists are women. The U.S. fall closer in line to Germany, which records 4 percent women physicists.

Franz related these differences m part to the culture of the different societ1es in question. "In some countncs II is accepted for women to be physicists. in others it's not." Franz said.

In intcrnews with female graduate students, a number of what Franz termed "md1gmt1es" were frequently ment10ned.

At some universities female students were asked to substitute for secretaries. while at others. pictures of nude women were dis-

According to Franz. in a survey taken amongst graduate students in physics, only 27 percent of women-as opposed to 36 percent of men-responded positively when asked whether their physics department mspired self-confidence. "I think \VC should all worry about that." Fran7 said.

Palomar constructs Web page on the Internet Brian Wallace Millla[iill[iEdiror

Internet surfers can now catch a wave on Palomar's own World Wide Web home page.

Palomar's Web page (http:// www.palomar.edu/) is run from a server in the Information Systems & Services Department.

It contains general information about the school, such as the address, phone number and a photo. It also has detai Is about Palomar College's Governing Board structure, a student art gallery featuring works from the Graphic Communications Dept. and "Wayne's Word," a newsletter, written by Associate Professor of Life Sciences Wayne Armstrong, that looks at biological matters in a humorous light.

The World Wide Web (WWW or simply the Web) is a feature of the Internet which allows users to browse through pages written in a special language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language).

Pages on the Web can contain text, pictures, sounds and animation.

Web pages can also be linked to one another, allowing users to navigate the Internet by following and backtracking along links between many different pages.

Palomar's Web page includes links to federal government agencies (the Library of Congress. CIA, FBI, NASA and others), state and local agencies (California State Senate, San Diego Superior Court, the City of San Marcos and others). academic institutions (including SDSU and UCSD) plus several popular Web sites ranging from ·'Dr. Fun·· to a place called ··useless WWW pages."

Information Systems Technician Mark Hopkins, head of the project, created the Web page in February via Palomar's Internet connection through Cal State San Marcos.

Hopkins says the ultimate goal of the page is to be "an information source forthe students and a recruiting tool as well."

The next big step for the page will be putting information about

Opinio11 Editor

United States Senator James Exon (D-Neb.) has introduced a bill which would make transmitting obscene materials with electronic media, such as computer modems, illegal.

The bill, S-314, would classify electronic telecommunications media, such as the Internet, as a form of media which can be regulated by the Federal Communications Commission.

Commonly referred to as the "Communications Decency Act," it would impose a fine on those who transmit material which could be interpreted as lewd or obscene.

The bill is actually an amendment of the Communications Act of 1934 which made obscene telephone

Palomar's classes online.

"First thing I want to do is get the catalog online and that should be by the end of June." Hopkins said.

"As far as the schedule of classc<; is concerned. that's still out there a ways."

In addition to maintaining the Web page, Hopkins also assists in helping Palomar staff put their information into the HyperText format required by the Web. " I can talk to them to see what they want to do and help them make their HTML pages," Hopkins said.

So far, Hopkins has had inquiries from the Radio & Television

progr<)m, the bookstore. the ASG and The Telescope about putting information on the server.

Armstrong. who has three issues of his ··wayne's Word" newsletter available on the Web page, says Palomar's page has a lot of promise, but isn't as develciped as some that he's seen at other schools.

After browsing the Web for two years, Armstrong sees it as both "really neat" and very educational.

"The Web is wonderful. I'm into botany and I know some schools are going to put photos ofdi fferent plants and information about plants on there.

It's an incredibly valuable tool."

calls illegal. It would change parts which originally said "telephone" to "telecommunications device" and raise the maximum penalty for infractions from $10,000 to $100,000.

This bill has become the topic of much debate in the online community.

Many people who oppose the bill consider it a violation of the right to free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment.

According to a message which is currently being distributed across the Internet by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the bi II would make all computer bulletin board system operators susceptible to prosecution.

"The bill does not define 'obscene' communications, leaving individual states to assert their own definition of community standards

and to prosecute system operators maintaining systems anywhere in the country," the message states.

The EFF cites a recent case (U.S. 1'. Thomas) in which a federal official called a California bulletin board, downloaded some files, then prosecuted the system operators under Tennessee community standards laws.

Exon proposed the bill in an effort to discourage the use of electronic media to harass unwilling recipients with pornography or obscene electronic mail.

Critics, such as the EFF, claim the wording of the proposed legislation would make all transmissions of any kind susceptible to governmental review and censorship, and current anti-harassment legislation is sufficient for prosecuting any wrongdoing.

son ended May 2. "They waited to get in front of the body to cut it, but they knew it last week. They spent $6,000 on their furniture and they [can't give us more]? Its all politics."

Speculation also surfaced that the cut was possibly related to some ASG members' personal problems with the newly elected ICC chairpersonJuliaCrawford. The preliminary budget was drafted on April28 when Jenkins was still chairperson.

Crawford was elected May 2 and the budget change occurred the next day.

ASG Senator Christian Butler, who served on the budget and finance committee, denied any malice intended by the cut.

"They (The ICC) are living under the same conditions as the ASG," said Butler. "We didn't receive a budget increase this year, and neither did they."

Senator Greg Armstrong, who also served on the budget committee, defended the cut from a different perspective. Among them was the fact that the ICC has overdrawn its account by $100 with three weeks left in school.

"They're in the red right now and they shouldn't be," said Armstrong. "We're hoping that the ICC acts within the best responsibility with the money that we give them. But they haven't in the past."

The overdraft, Jenkins claims, is a result of previous underfunding.

The ICC budget in 1993-94 was $8,000, and said it was cut to $5,550 for 1994-95 because some funds went unused.

Additionally, Armstrong mentioned Crawford's election as a factor in the decision not to increase ICC funding. Earlier this year, Armstrong filed a grievance against Crawford for alleged verbal abuse he received from her. Witnesses of the incident included ASG Treasurer Scott Teerlink and Student Activities Secretary Marilyn Lunde.

"Teerlink and I made up our minds [to not increase ICC funding] even before we found out that Crawford was elected. The fact she was elected just made our decision easier," Armstrong said.

Despite the personal conflicts on both sides, Jenkins wants the ASG to separate any grudges from the legislative forum.

"They have grudges against Crawford and things against me, but I'm not the organization," said Jenkins . "The ICC consists of 30 to 40 different clubs."

Although no ASG member objected to the budget, Vice President of State Affairs Matthew McNamara agreed with Jenkins. He believes that Armstrong, who is a roommate with Teerlink, certainly influenced him to make the budget amendment.

"Armstrong is very critical of Crawford's election as chair, but I didn't see him at the ICC to voice his concern," said McNamara. "It's kind of sad to use the ASG's budget to voice his disapproval of her."

Armstrong claims his intentions were not to use budget influence to pursue a personal conflict. He said his primary interest was to protect student money.

To solve money management problems, he believes the ICC should be consolidated into the ASG. Under this system, the block budget grant to the ICC could be replaced by direct ASG control of club funds. ''I'd like to see the ICC under the ASG because we'd be more able to control it," said Armstrong. "This serves the students better because once [the ASG] gives money away, we don't have any control."

But Crawford says the opposite is true. Club members, she says, should not have to "beg" for money each time they want to put on an activity.

For her, the purpose of the ICC is to offer an alternative to going through the process of preparing an official request and making a presentation in front of the ASG each time money is needed.

"When you come to the ICC you know you're going to get that money without a fight," said Crawford.

"When you cut our budget, you're hurting a lot of students. The ICC does more for the students on this campus than ASG."

ASG seeks candidates The Associated Student Government is accepting applicants for a special election to fill the vacant positions of executive vice-president, treasurer, vice-president of social affairs anti nine senator positions.

Applications are available in the Student Activites Office inSU-2l.Completedfonnsare due May 12. Elections will be held May 15 and 16.

Students travel to state capitol to attend rally Liz Bennett Staff Writer

Steve Troop Staff Cartoonist

Nearly 30 Palomar students flew to Sacramento April 25 to lobby legislators for lower tuition, a common college course numbering system and push for other student-related concerns.

Students and members of student governments from across the state spent Lobby Day trying to heighten awareness of community college issues in the state capitol.

With the thousands of bills in the legislature, student activists are concerned that many legislators and legislative staffs may not be familiar with bills not directly related to their committees.

In addition to lobbying for a decrease of tuition and a standardized college course numbering system, the students also wanted changes in the process by which students are selected to the Board of Governors.

Paul Mitchell, president of the California Student Association of Community Colleges (CaiSACC) conducted a seminar on the "dos and don'ts" of proper lobbying etiquette and outlined the bills supported by CaiSACC and the Council of Student Body Governments (CSBG).

Lobbyists were encouraged to tell their stories rather than just quote

facts and statistics to the legislators.

Each lobbyist received a packet containing information on each proposed bill and asked to pass the information on to the politicians they were meeting with.

"The majority oflegislation can't know anything ofthe bills proposed, so it is up to the students to get involved and push the bills through," said CaiSACC Senator Dustin Corcoran in a memo on lobbying practices which was included in the packet.

Among the bills supported by CaiSACC and CSBG are: AB-1297: would increase student participation in the governance process by regulating the way students are selected to the Board of Governors.

AB-1543: would give community colleges more security in projecting revenue and developing accurate budgets by protecting against tax shortfalls.

SB-348: would repeal the differential fee that charges $50 a unit to students with a bachelor's degree or higher.

SB-450: would standardize class course numbers among California community colleges.

SB-1300: proposes a 15 percent decrease from a $13 a unit to $11 a unit for California community college tuition fees.

Of particular note was SB-450, the bill to standardize all course

numbers among community colleges.

"It's a realistic goal," said Mitchell. "It' s not as expensive as you might think."

Using funds already existing for course catalogs and updates, the price of standardizing courses across the state would be fully realized by the 1997-98 school year, should SB450 pass.

Student representatives divided into groups to discuss their views on the bills affecting community colleges and meet State Representatives Bruce Thompson, Howard Kaloogian and Jan Goldsmith, as well as Senators Ray Haynes, David Kelly and William Craven.

The more than 200 students who participated were warned against bombarding legislators with too many topics. Through focusing on only the CaiSACC endorsed bills, student lobbyists felt that they would be more effective as a collective voice than with independent agenda items.

"There are thousands of bills in the legislature right now, but it is most effective if we spend the entire day working on a small set of bills," added Corcoran.

In addition to lobbying the individual legislatures, a press conference on fees and a meeting of the Budget Committee highlighted the I 0-hour event.

Tutoring center to be open during summer session Rick Martinez Staff Writer

Due to a grant of $5,000 by the Palomar College Foundation, the tutoring center will remain openduringthesummersession.

According to Tutorial Specialist Ruth Barnaba, the money was awarded to the tutoring center only after heavy lobbying.

Despite the money given to the center. only five or six of the center's 32tutors will be retained for summer services according to Barnaba. "[The money] is just for this semester," said Barnaba. ''1l1e next summer we'll be in the same boat."

The ASG is considering giving money to fund services for the summer 1996 session, but according to Barnaba, "It wouldn't be enough."

"It would be enough for only one tutor," she continued. "And it's really pointless to have one person here."

Barnaba also said that it's especially important to have the tutoring center open for students during the summer session due to the accelerated pace in which the summer classes are taught.

"The classes are shorter and it's easy for students to get lost," Barnaba said.

OPINION

Chris Gleason Opinion Editor

I love Dr Pepper. A lot. I average about a Big Gulp a day of the stuff.

However, if Dr Pepper suddenly became an inferior soft drink, I have the option of switching over to Dr. Slice (shudder), Mr. Pibb or any other soda available.

We consumers don't have this kind of freedom when it comes to choosing our cable companies. Although cable is a nice luxury as opposed to a staff of life (like Dr Pepper), it is simply wrong for cable companies to have monopoly status over a service area.

Upon its founding, this country established a free market economy. The free market, via the never-ending quest for dollars, creates an atmosphere of competition. People must create a product superior to their competitors' in order to earn as many consumer dollars as possible. If someone can't market a product effectively, they won't get the money, and eventually will go out of business.

The cable monopolies don't have this problem. They have no competitors.

I subscribe to Southwestern Cable. I have to-I live in Rancho Bernardo. So for me it's either Southwestern or watch what I can glean from the airwaves, and ESPN doesn't come in over the air.

Southwestern, though, doesn't have two of the coolest channels: The Cartoon Network and the Sci-Fi Channel. I would like nothing better than to make the jump to Cox Cable and get my daily fix of"The Incredible Hulk."

Instead, I'm stuck with several foreignlanguage channels, E! (which I would rather eat hot lead than watch) and the Warner Bros. network (ditto).

â&#x20AC;˘ A rant about a modern problem: Cable monopolies have their customers where they want them

The government needs to lift its control over the cable companies. The companies currently enjoy "natural monopoly" status.

Most natural monopolies, such as power and water companies, have such status because to enter competition into the marketplace would lead to severe environmental damage. (Imagine more than one nuclear power plant in an area.) Also, most natural monopolies are pricecontrolled to the hilt. It usually takes a supermajority vote of one governmental committee or another to raise prices.

Cable companies don't have these kinds

of problems either. Most of them raise their rates at will, and not in proportion to improving their service. These are the hallmarks of a monopoly-with no competition, there is no incentive to keep prices low or quality high.

Also, cable companies don't fit into the classic natural monopoly mold. There are no nuclear residues or clouds of coal gas. They sell pictures on a screen. There is very little environmental impact anymore; the cables are in the ground and on poles already.

Show you care: Buy PC pizza Daniel Kwan Editor-in-Chief

It's hard for the politically correct person to enjoy a good, hot pizza anymore. He may not know which pizzas or toppings are PC. So, for those of you who desire a change from the cuisine at the Herbivore Cafe, here's your guide to your very own politically correct pizza.

Domino's Pizza is probably the most obvious example of being politically incorrect. In their quest to get a pizza delivered to your door in 30 minutes or less, Domino's needlessly pollutes the air by using the villainous automobile (gasp!). Come on, why can't Domino's take advantage of public transportation, or even the bicycle?

telephone service. Instead, prices have fallen and service has improved. The same would happen if the cable companies could follow suit.

Also, the phone companies resulting from the breakup still use common phone lines for their services. Cable television companies could use common cables as well.

With no environmental reason and no practical reason to prevent the cable companies from competing, the government has no leg to stand on when it comes to defending their perpetuation of the monopolies.

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Protect children from illegal smut

â&#x20AC;˘ Don't violate the First Amendment

Brian Wallace

Stephen Rubin

Mwwt;ing Editor

Feature Ediwr

Decadence and immorality. The same faults that caused the fall of the Roman Empire now threaten one of man's most valuable tools: online communication.

It's sad that resources like the Internet, commercial online service providers 9nd local bulletin board systems, which should be forums for the intelligent exchange of thoughts and ideas, have been turned into an unruly wasteland.

Once you ' re done searching the archives of the University of Cairo for your report on ancient Egypt and you hand over the keyboard to your younger brother or sister, who knows where they'll go, what they'll see, who they'll talk to?

Suppose they call up a local BBS (bulletin board system) and log on with false information indicating that they are 18 years old.

All it takes is one e-mail to a system operator and anyone who claims they are 18 or older has immediate access to pornographic images, games and mini-movies.

And it's not just these local BBSs that allow smut to fall into the hands of our youth.

America Online has recently terminated the accounts of hundreds of members after discovering how rampantthe trading lewd graphics files was.

But perhaps even scarier than what kid!' can see is who they can talk with. The world is full of sickos, and there is no mental health requirement for buying a computer.

While chatting on a seemingly innocent AOL channel, an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channel or a local BBS conference area, children may be befriended by sickos or perverts who have nothing but evil intent.

These people might, as has happened before, pose as children themselves. If they live in the area, they might ask a child what times their parents aren't home or maybe try to arrange a meeting. The results could be terrible and even, in some extreme cases, deadly.

We need the government to establish a body to look into these situations and decide upon the best ways to safeguard our kids without violating peoples' right to privacy.

Liquor stores are checked periodically to ensure that storekeepers are asking customers for ID, why shouldn't system operators of BBSs be subject to the same scrutiny?

We must preserve cyberspace, for it is far too useful and valuable to let it fall into the hands of those who would manipulate it for their own sick pleasure.

The burgeoning information super-highway we are all excited about has an interested party-in the form of the Federal Government-planning to make sure the 21 st-Century digital boys are playing cleanly.

U.S. Senator James Exon (DNeb.), via the U.S. Communications Act, would like bloated Washington D.C. to somehow regulate the Internet (which is impossible) and other on-line services such as America Online.

What right or interest does the government have in telling its citizens how to behave while writing to others on a computer?

It's a dangerously oppressive examples of certain sentiments on Capitol HiH that the feds know what's best for us.

The act would criminalize "obscene, lewd, indecent, filthy and lascivious" both in public messages and public e-mail. Speech that is acceptable in print media would be illegal under the act. Another beauty would submit the on-line services to the torture of the FCC. On-line media is an already user-friendly medium which allows the users to see and read what they want. Commercial on-line services like Prodigy and America Online self-regulate just tine without the help of Big Brother. Commercial service accounts are very parent-friendly allowing for the parent to restrict the child's access to potentially mature topics and newsgroups.

As for the situation where young ones download pornographic pictures on a computer screen there is no way kids precious virgin minds are not going to be "violated" with out locking them in a cage.

The Exon amendment faces off against fundamental parental responstbility intended or not. Exon and those who support his ideas of on-line regulation may say to cyberparents (in the vast minority) they are doing them a favor but what act really underlies is that big government thinks parents are too stupid to raise their kids without burearcrats.

Bottom line is any kind of government regulation of on-line services is a literal assault on the First Amendment and the privacy of on-line users. There is no real way of regulating the international Internet, or the fiscal feasibility of monitoring and prosecuting potential violators. The decency act is a naive, paternalistic, extremely unrealistic aim at government control and a complete waste of legislation good intentions or not.

Should computer online services and the -Internet be regulated?

Senator James Exon (D-Neb.) has introduced a bill which would be used to regulate the information.which is passed around via telecommunicative devices such as the Internet. Designed to eliminate the transfer of pornography, some claim that the bill violates the First Amendment. Should electronic media be regulated?

Frankly Speaking Francis T. Crowley

C1non and love one another right now Our society is teeming with anger and hateful cynicism toward the government.

Outward disrespect of all levels of government comes not only from the media and entertainment, but from other members ofthe government as well.

President Clinton's term in office has been rift with accusations and even outright scandalous lies with the intention of creating disgust in the public eye. These arc examples of an illness at the heart of our society.

Instead of discussing ways of removing the hate, anger and violence from our daily lives, we make excuses about why we should join the other varmints who have permeated the fabric of our society with their lack of morals.

Each member of our community who condones disrespect among fellow citizens helps foster the corruption in our lives. We have accepted the unraveling of an honorable society while making excuses for becoming a violent killing machine. We make excuses for everything from cursing to adultery to the taking of life. There seems no sacred thread of our society which we as spoiled Americans can't tear apart.

Our heroes cheat, harass, philander, rape and murder, yet instead of ostracizing such iniquitous persons we put them on the front page and show a film at II. We are becoming so perverse in our sense of what is entertaining that there are a dozen talk shows on television that show us nothing but people with social problems. Where is the balance? Where is the portrayal of wholesome, good-natured family people who take pride in performing benevolent deeds within our society? Surely they are not on the half dozen news shows that investigate what is wrong with our society. Where is the suggestion of how to improve the greatness our country already ~as achieved?

Recuperation from our ills can only begin with the individual patient. We need a grassroots movement of morality. Not pseudodemigods who breed contempt for the status quo, but scrupulous leaders who show wisdom towards pro-active solutions and accept accountability for their actions.

If we find blame within ourselves then surely there is a remedy. Are we civilized enough to change the course we ride? Can we reach a stable environment where life is sacred and anger and blame are dealt with in an intelligent soluble fashion?

Sure we can. Turn off the television. Refuse to read scandalous tabloids that serve no useful purpose to society. Instead of complaining, make suggestions, help your fellow neighbor, make a contribution.

Each week I look forward to reading his articles with their charming, slightly off-center sense of humor and his keen understanding of human nature. The April 28 issue was a bonanza with two outstanding Jeff Vize articles, 'Telescope news reporter wheels around for a day," and ''Dark at the end of the tunnel."

Keep up the good work, Jeff.

Praise for a previous letter In response to the letter to the editor (April 28, Turnabout is fair gay ... er, play"), Bravo! Although no one can deny these activities go on here at Palomar, more frequent are the obvious incidents of males peering into the women's restroom, girls & guys being groped publicly by the opposite sex and the indiscreet "near sexual" episodes on campus.

Where arc the cries of the concerned?

It seems that once a few male egos are threatened, we have a situation on our hands. And, in the event that one of our football players is offended enough to take matters into his own hands as one head of security seems to gleefully anticipate, will the authorities be there to uphold the rights against physical abuse extended to all on this campus? Somehow, I think not.

The media took quite a bashing in the claims of racism of the April28 staff editorial in The Telescope. Ycs, the first place FBI investigators looked was in the direction of the Middle East, because all signs pointed that way. Patterns in performance arc an important lead in an investigation, and no true investigator would overlook any lead, no matter who it incriminates.

The media did a wonderful job of balancing the issue fairly, saying "Yes, it looks very much like an Arab job,.but let's not hate all Arabs." The issue here seems to be political correctness. We can't blame people ofMiddle Eastern descent, so we'll focus our collective rage for both the bombing and the blaming on the only target political correctness leaves open-the white members of the media. As a society, we need to overlook trivial issues of race and concentrate on truly important ones.

Proposal to ban a dangerous chemical Background One of the world's most powerful chemical solvents, the oxide of hydrogen known to chemists by the formula "H,O," is readily available in many parts of the country by those who know where to look for it. Current regulations controlling the possession, use, sale and disposition of this substance have not been sufficient to keep it entirely out of the grasp of children.

Many people have found that ingesting the chemical provides a sense of relief to certain unpleasant feelings they may be experiencing. This eupohoria is so dramatic that, once having felt it, a person can develop a lifelong habit of psychological or even physical dependence. In severe cases, those who are prevented from satisfying this dependence go through withdrawal symptoms the side effects of which can lead even to death.

The simple application of electrical current to the chemical will cause it to decompose into a very powerful. odorless and colorless gaseous oxidizer and fuel.

The fuel will mix quickly with air. The slightest spark will ignite it and result in a horrific explosion. A mixture of the fuel and the oxidizer is one of the most powerful explosives known to man. No neighborhood is safe.

Proposal Considering the life-threatening properties of this solvent, appropriate agencies should be established to study the problem and develop effective methods of controlling it and preventing its abuse. Possession by a minor should be totally banned, and possession of more than a gram should be limited to adults who have been appropriately trained, licensed and have demonstrated a legitimate need for access to the chemical. In no case should anyone be allowed to possess more than I 0 grams at any time, that total to include any quantities they may have already ingested and presently be holding within their bodies.

Punishment Repeat offenders should be impn,oned for one year per violation and placed on a diet of bread and water.

Chances are, CCM sounds almost identical to anything on mainstream radio, whether it's rock, pop, country, rap or alternative.

The difference lies in the lyrics, where contemporary Christian songs could deal with a range of topics, including God, Jesus, love, and life's experiences.

Just as country music invaded the mainstream a few years ago, many in the music

Factory direct: Dakoda Motor Co. revs up Daniel Kwan Editor-in-Chief

What does Dakoda Motor Co. mean?

we were in a position to have to travel a lot more in the future."

Dakoda Motor Co. seems to be a perfect name for this particular Southern California band. Their music is composed of uptempo rhythms, fast guitar-riffs, pleasing harmonies and what has been described by some as "sporty, stylish musical fun."

But for the band, with three members from La Jolla, one from Fullerton and another from Pasadena, their simple desire is to be recognized as a solid, rock band.

Drummer Chuck Cummings and new lead vocalist Melissa Brewer answered some questions before their concert during Hallelujah Jubilee.

CHUCK: "It doesn't really mean anything really. Dakoda was always a name that Peter [King, guitarist] thought about giving to a child if he ever had one. And he thought it would be kind of a cute name, and ended up having a band, and decided to call the band Dakoda. When we signed to Word Records, they did what is called a trademark search, and found a band in the East Coast that had a name Dakota spelled with "t" like the state. But the Trademark Counci I said you can not change one letter in a name because phonetically it sounds the same, so we had to come up with either "something Dakoda" or "Dakoda something."

What do think about being labeled as contemporary Christian music?

Melissa, how did you get involved with all this?

What do you think about the label "alternative?"

MELISSA: "I go to the same church as Peter and his wife Paige, and Derik [Toy, bass], and Davia [Vallesillo, former lead singer], so I knew who they were. Paige heard somehow that I sang and she called me and I auditioned."

CHUCK: "She has been with us since Jan. I. Our old singer, Davia, was with the band for about three years. We did pretty extensive touring last year after "Welcome Race Fans" came out. And I think constantly being on the road was really a strain on her. She didn't like to have to travel that much, and we felt

CHUCK: "Within alternative, there's a hundred different categories. We don't even like to be called alternative, because now that's become a pigeonholed word. We just want to be called a rock band. There are just so many innuences in the music--country, punk, rock."

DISCOGRAPHY Dakoda Motor Co. "Welcome Race Fans," 1994 "Into the Son," 1993

CHUCK: "We don't call ourselves contemporary Christian. We hesitate to even call ourselves a Christian band only because there is a label that comes along with that. In a perfect world, I suppose you could be a Christian and play whatever type of music you like to play and not be confined to a certain category, but that's not the way it is. We're all Christians in the group. The lyrics are about ... perhaps a lot of them are not directly about God in particular, but they're about experiences that we have as Christians."

Is there any particular message you want your audience to get from your music?

CHUCK: "We want to be known as a good band. We also want people to know when you come just come to our concerts and have fun.

Christian music industry now about 'ministry.' What we want to say is within the lyrics to the songs, which make people think.

"You have to either really listen to the lyrics, or you gotta buy the record and read about what we're singing about. And it's fine. If you have questions, you can write to us, you can talk with us after a concert, anything like that, but we don't feel there is a real need for us to become 'the ministers.'

"I hate to say that in a sense, because there are those who are called to preach, and I think that's a good

thing. But I just don't think there should be pressure on bands nowadays to preach. If you don't feel that's your calling, then don't do it, because to me you're doing a disservice to the Lord if you're getting up on stage and compromising your beliefs and having to do a sermon just because the pastor of your church says you have to because you're on stage."

ral."

Bryan Duncan is in a particularly good mood today-and it shows. From the time I enter his dressing room for an interview until the moment I see him exit the stage after hi s concert, Duncan has been smiling as if everything was going his way .

In some ways, things have been going well for the singer who describes his music as pop, blueeyed soul with a mix of blues and R&B. After six No. I Christian radio hits from his last album and gaining three more on his current "Slow Revival" album, his records are selling better than anytime in the past.

As I enter Duncan's dressing room, he is staring into a mirror and slaps on some cologne. So, naturally, I ask him if he has a special way of preparing before a show.

"I like to put cologne on. One of my most important things is to always smell good," he says sarcastically. "You know, someday, I'm gonna learn to be not such a smarto."

That answer alone should have warned me that this was not going to be a typical interview ...

Next, I ask him to explain the meaning behind the album's title, "Slow Revival."

While walking around the room and dressing himself into a solid, black shirt, he answers, "It' s like if you ' re a scientist and you ' ve built your whole theory based on a cer-

tain number of facts, so you're acting on what you know to be true.

You start building your foundation and suddenly a new piece of information comes along. Boom! [he shouts unexpectedly]. Suddenly, it makes everything else null and void.

Now, we know the truth. It's like sometimes the truth can flat-out knock you on your butt.

"The idea with a 'Slow Revival ' is recovering your balance after really getting the truth. Remember that line 'I want the truth 1 You can't handle the truth'' [He does an impressive Cruise-Nicholson impersonation] . That's basically what I think, I think most people can ' t handle the truth."

"So at this point of your career, what do think you've accomplished," I ask.

"Look at those shiny feet' They are white and shiny, aren't they?" he exclaims, catching me off guard.

"Anything else, or is that probably it?" I ask as he puts on a new pair of black socks.

"No, what were you saying?"

I repeat the question and he pauses, so I go on with the next question. "Well, where do you want to go with your career then?"

"You know what ... [He pauses to contemplate his answer] ultimately, the thing I need to accomplish most in life is a true intimacy with Christ. It sounds heavily spiritual , but the reality is you ' re born to the world by yourself, and you go out by yourself, and you better know God ... and it might be a good idea

DISCOGRAPHY

to be a good friend of his, because you don't have any guarantees as to what's beyond this ... " I respond by saying, "Right, 0 K, that's a good enough answer."

"Huh?" he asks.

"I said that's a answer. The next question would be: Recently, country music has made a bigjump into the mainstream. Do you think contemporary Christian music will make that big jump into mainstream as weiJ?" 'That ' s pretty speculative. I think Christian music is already making big jumps into secular.

Christian music has tripled in size already in the last I 0 years. It has tripled in size, country music has only doubled. So, yeah, at some point, I imagine if you're sharing the gospel, at some point, you're not going to be too popular."

In putting on his suit jacket, he sings, "I feel good, du do du do do."

"So am I just catching you in a particularly good mood today or do you think you ' re normally like this?"

"When you come to Magic Mountain, and you get on the Batman ride, it slaps you around for about 5 seconds. You adjust your eyesight and your attitude at the same time. It' s amazing what that will do to you.

"It's probably a lot like that for physical exercise. They say it's really important to get physical exercise because I think it does have a lot to do with your attitude. In terms of aiming for the audience, are you mostly aiming for listeners of contemporary Christian music, or are you hoping to expand your audience to people who nonnally listen to secular music?"

"Well, I'd certainly like to know any ideas as far as expanding the audience. I think the greater majority of people who would like my music don't know about it. In other words. the people already in Christian music and they like a lot of people, they ' re not going to be as interested in my stuff. I wouldn ' t be their first choice unless they're al ready fans."

"Do you think that's good, bad,

or does it matter?"

"Well, it matters, but I don't know if it's good or bad. That's one of those things where it's not in your hands. The stuff that I do is kind of a groove-based, funk, soul. I think it has a certain rowdiness about it. It probably makes it not the most popular form of Christian music."

Duncan then continues to say how he got started playing in churches.

"I played in a talent contest, it was a church talent contest at that ... and I won, HA !"

Just then, one of his crew members comes in to get something.

Duncan brings out pictures of his car and home in Riverside. "I was testing my new camera," said Duncan, proudly displaying a picture of his turquoise-colored Volkswagon. "What kind of guy carries around pictures ofhis car?" he jokes.

Through the course of the interview, Duncan is now fully dressed and ready to do soundcheck when he spots a black hat in the closet shelf. Before leaving the room, he dons the hat and imitates being a rapper. calling himself"Bryan D'" in the name of having fun.

"Is there any thing else you wanted to add?" I ask.

"I ate too much."

"Too much cake?" I ask referring to some cake located outside the room.

"Yeah, too much something."

Wes King plays for Where a higher reason to buy Daniel Kwan Editor-in-Chief

Daniel Kwan I The Telescope

Dove award winner Wes King performed April 28 at Six Flags Magic Mountain during Hallelujah Jubilee. King, who mostly plays accoustic guitar, says, "I don't have any desire to rock just for the sake of rock. If a song is uptempo, it's because the lyrics call for it."

As the spotlight drops onto an individual holding a guitar. the arena is hushed by a strong voice piercing through the darkness.

He says, "You may not know me, but I wrote this song," and follows his statement by expressively belting out Michael Jackson ' s "'Man in the Mirror," accapella style.

Now that he's gotten the attention of the audience, he says something like, "I was just kidding. My name's Wes Kin~ and Ididn'treally write that song, but here's a song I did write," and proceeds to woo the crowd with the rest of his set.

That was Wes King from 1991 when he opened for Amy Grant's "Heart in Motion" tour. Since then, King has become an established singer, songwriter and guitarist by releasing successful albums and winning a Dove award, contemporary Christian music's equivalent to the Grammys.

The person who performed recently at Magic Mountain no longer needs to "do Michael" to get attention. He is now concentrating on promoting his fourth album, "Common Creed," due out in June.

He describes his songs as being "accoustic-based music that ranges from ballads to at most, Mellencamptype of rock."

Kings also said one of his goals "is to be able to be a Christian music singer who, when you come to his concerts, you appreciate the image that he brings of God. And when you ask me a question, that it always centers around Christ, that I wouldn't be the focus, because I'm really not the point."

Save for a few delays the day went rather smoothly, and the crowd was treated to some of San Diego's best performers.

Although musical variety was one of the attractions of the event, it was a bad call booking the country band Fast Gun. As far as country bands go they were good, but the crowd wasn't going fo r it. In fac t, it was pretty funn y watching everyone go from Fast Gun 's stage to the other stage.

Still, a few people line danced, so it was not a total loss. Overall , the day was a good showcasing of local talent.

'Destiny Turns on the Radio' is best left off Jeff Vize Staff Writer

Have you ever told a completely pointless story just to get off a couple of funny jokes?

Screenwriter Matthew Stone has ... and now he has made a movie about it. It's called "Destiny Turns on the Radio." And as the saying goes, destiny is tragic.

Billed as a "romantic adventure of mystical proportion," it's really just a sub-standard love story with a children's story, sci-fi twist.

The plot casts Quentin Tarantino as Johnny Destiny, the supernatural god of fate that magically emerges from a Las Vegas pool during an electrical storm. His mission is to rescue escaped convict Julian (Dylan McDermot) from the Nevada desert surrounding the prison he ditched.

After Julian is saved by "Destiny," the movie turns to the pursuit of his pre-prison girlfriend Lucille (Nancy Travis), who has since latched on with his arch rival Tuerto, • played by James Belushi. Please.

While cookie cutter plots can be bearable with the right toppings, "Destiny" just doesn't have them.

Swirling expansive instrumentals with odd ambiance pieces, the disc is an unearthed gem.

Some tracks like "The Velvet Plug" are weird sound effects interludes, while others like "Secret Girl" are straight-ahead songs.

A majority of the tracks are small instrumental blurbs containing slow jangly guitar parts. These create an eerie feeling akin to a dense fog rolling over a deserted beach.

"Secret Girl," the song that originally caught the movie producer's ear, takes form in three different versions throughout the album. With its haunting piano behind Kim Gordon's breathless voice, it is the disc's standout track.

Although the ultimate failure of this movie is its plot, the secon·d chance is blown too, by allowing us to fall asleep along the way to its predictable ending.

Making up for its shortfalls in the story area, the movie tries notso-cleverly to disguise itself as some sort of "Gen-X hip" comedy.

Watching it falter in this area is about the only interesting thing about the whole show.

In riding the crest of this "alternative nation" wave, "Destiny" tries desperately to add beef to its thin bones. The first evidence of the attempted hip appeal is the use of Quentin Tarantino. Too bad he comes off looking cheesy because it's not really his fault. It just kind of happens because the entire concept behind his character is lame.

Also fitting the bill of over-coolness are the detectives trailing the escaped con character Julian. Played as typical Hollywood "dumb guy"

detectives, they look straight out of a Beastie Boys/Columbo video.

What necessary element do '70s era leisure suits and greasy style give to the characters?

• Before long, you're thinking that maybe the whole thing is supposed to be a comedy after all. But the humor also fails. Because the film never decides whether it's going to be light or serious, much of the comedy seems out of place.

After throwing romance in our face, a chase involving Julian and the detectives suddenly makes us think we're watching a "Naked Gun" movie. The scene's lame climax involves their police cars somehow crashing into each other before the chase even begins.

Boy, that's just wacky.

While it's always saddening to realize how little freshness today's Hollywood productions require, its far more depressing to actually see how easily we are fooled. "Destiny" may not top the box office, but it will surely rake in millions.

Don't sec this one just for Tarantino. Just because his hand is in on a production that doesn't give it the Midas touch. Remember, he just plays a god, it's not his real job.

You have a very beautiful and powerful voice. When did you realize that you could sing so well?

"I think that is what this record is about.

When I first started I was trying to be some alternative artist and I was only 21 at the time.

I was trying to support the 'Massive Blur' album solo on the Morrissey tour, and I ran across the problem of not having a full band, so on this album I wanted to make everything real basic. Most songs are me and my acoustic guitar."

"Gotta Go Now" is a powerful song about prejudice and hypocrisy. Was it partly born out of some of the prejudices people may have held toward you?

Entertainment Editor

A performer's music should be what they are judged on, but do you ever run across problems ~use of your sexuality?

Melissa Ferrick's newest release "Willing to Wait" is a testament to quality music. With well-crafted songs, meaningful lyrics and Ferrick's powerful voice, the album is a coming out of sorts for her.

While her debut release "Massive Blur" packaged her as an alternative artist, "Willing to Wait" cuts into her raw style, exposing her talent for folk writing.

It is through this vehicle that she finds her natural sound as an artist.

Before playing her set at the Coach House, May 2, she set aside some time to talk with The Telescope.

"It has not happened yet, but there was a reporter in Houston and I guess he didn't know I was gay. He went off about Melissa Ethridge and said, 'Why did she have to come out because now I don't buy her records anymore. And why does your record company say in Billboard Magazine' that one of their marketing tools is the gay market."'

"He said, 'Well, why do they have to do that' and I said,' 'Well, 'cuz I'm gay."'

"You want Demi Moore naked and pregnant on a cover, and you want to know who everyone in the straight world is going out with, but you're not supposed to say anything about someone if they are gay."

"Not toward me as much,J)Ut maybe my friends. But, the first line 'Didn'tanyone e}'er teach you how to shoot a gun' kinda came from Kurt Cobai n' s death.

I wasn't a huge Nirvana fan, but he was the first 'rock star' to die during my time, so it freaked me out.

That line made me think of the south for some reason, and then I started to write about racism, and used all those cliches as verses in the song. The first line has nothing to do with the rest of the song, but I just need to get that first line, and then I can write the rest of the song. That's how most of my songs start."

What are some of your early inspirations that started your playing?

What is the worst show you have ever played?

What does your newest album "Willing to Wait" mean to you?

Who you think is one of the most underappreciated artist out there right now?

"I accidently bought Suzanne Vega!s album because it had that single "Luka" on it, but after I listened to it I was amazed. It was the first time that I had ever heard anyone consciously sing about anything real."

"The worst show I ever played was in Sacramento at the Press Club. There were eight people there and I was very drunk. It was the only time I have ever played drunk, and it will never happen again."

What is your favorite kind of beer?

If you covered a Beatles song, which one would it be?

"On the last album I wanted to be this alternative-chick-rocker, and I still like that.

But, on this album I have come to terms with being a singer/songwriter, and just because I'm 24 it doesn't mean I can't play the acoustic guitar and ·play these little songs. They may be little in ·song, but they are large in content. I think for people to assume that people our age don't get that is wrong."

"Right now, Peter Wholesapple. He played on R.E.M.'s "Ou of Time" and did the mandolin on "Losing My Religion." He is a singer/ songwriter and he is just amazing. He writes songs like you wouldn't even believe. He has a hard-to-find record called 'Maverick."'

"It is sad though, I played with him in New Orleans on his birthday and there were only 30 people at the show."

~lissa ::Jerrick Peter Sansom

"Beck's is pretty good, and I like half and halfs with Guiness."

· '"Here Comes the Sun."'

What question do you get tired of being asked?

"What is Morrissey like? I toured with him and I have been dealing with all those Morrissey fanzines since like '9 1."

'Butler Did It' combilles comedy and intrigue Diana Hooper Staff Writer

Saturday night, April 29, the Howard Brubeck Theatre was packed with the curious who came to see who did it, and how it was done.

Dana Case's production of "The Butler Did It," by Walter Marks and Peter Marks, didn't let them down.

The play opened in the house of the Butler family where it revealed that everyone was once a butler or Butler at one time or another.

Therefore they all became a suspect.

After the first scene the audience discovered it was a play within a play with the surprise arrival of director Antony J. Lefcourt,

The costumes and set brought back the feel of the' 50s with a gaudy modem twist. Sydney held a lot of dialog and was superb. Each of the actors played exaggerated characters acting in the grotesque style of cartoon characters coming alive (similar to the style of the Batman movie). The audience was captivated and swept away with laughter and discovery as each layer of the comedy unfolded.

"We got a lawsuit form the anti-defamation league."

"That's a sign that you've arrived," Elsner quickly interjected.

Whether or not the lawsuit was real or a joke, neither host offered an explanation.

Despite Wolf's success as a radio talk show host, all good things had to eventually come to an end.

Upon the demise of his talk show, Wolf approached Elsner with the idea of working together and doing a comedy show. "We always wanted to do something together," said Elsner. "This ended up being it."

They created an outline of the "Side Show" and presented it to the radio station. "We said, 'This is what we want to do,"' explained Wolf. "They said 'Okay' and then Carla Van Wagoner I The Telescope Michael "Sam" Wolf in the middle of a "Side Show" bit which can be heard on KKSM 7 p.m. Sundays. we went on and did what we wanted

However, being outrageous is not just an outdoor activity. Sometimes the craziness comes to the . studio. A make-up arttst who works for a local glamour photographer recently-gave each of the men fu II beauty makeovers. Elsner and Wolf did the entire broadcast looking like women.

Listeners can also become part of the show. Fraternity brothers from Tau Kappa Epsilon of Cal. State San Marcos enjoy the show a great deal. They decided to bestow the duo with honorary memberships in the fraternity. Fraternity members Robert Brack, Roger Northrop and Armondo Madrigal visited the studio to give Wolf and Elsner the ritual plebe spanking.

Plebes, are also given nick-names by their established frat brothers.

Elsner and Wolf were dubbed "Skipper and Gilligan" because of their comedic and physical resemblance to the duo portrayed on "Gilligan's Island." After much joking and bantering with the guests it was time to get down to business. Wolf enthusiastically bent over to receive his initiation.

"Thank you sir, may I have another?" he shouted as his cohost looked on.

anyway. Nothing like the outline.

That was just to get them to let us on the air."

Elsner affirmed his partner's story and added, with a cat-whoat-the-canary-eatinggnn plastered across his face, "Then we locked the door so they couldn't shut us off."

"We just try to do a lot of whatever we can come up with, a lot of spontaneous things. Things that sound spontaneous but are planned," Elsner said. "We are goofy and unpredictable."

"It's like orchestrated chaos," added Wolf. "We're less shock jocks than we are a couple of clowns."

You would never know by looking at these two students that they could be the "Jeff and Jer" or the "Mark and Brian" of college radio.

Theirpersonalities differ greatly from theiron-airalteregos. Wolf's broadcasting banter is non-stop but in reality he's quiet and introspective. He admits that he doesn't go to parties or socialize much because he doesn't want to be "on" all the time. He has been accused of letting his alternate jovial persona mask his true feelings.

"I'm just a very dark soul," he said. "I feel things very deeply and I worry far more than I should."

In sharp contrast to Wolf's serene but worrisome nature, his partnerexudes the vivaciousness carefree attitude of a four-year-old.

When Elsner is in the broadcast booth he is Wolf's comedic foil, or straight man, but off air the roles are reversed.

As the saying goes "opposites attract." Wolf likens their partn~r­ ship to that of the famous comedic duo, Abbott and Costello, with Elsner playing the role of the offstage Abbott. "He's more the entertainer when we're off the air," said Wolf.

"We're very fortunate in being where we are and having the people that we work for." said Elsner.

They are waiting for that one big break into broadcasting. As long as they can continue to pay for units, Elsner and Wolf plan to continue their "Side Show" antics on college radio.

New Astros put a damper on opening night Jeremy Lynch Sports Editor

Major League Baseball brought its shortened 1995 edition to San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium April 26.

With the strike now on the back burner, everything should be back to nonnal, right?

Well, the sights, sounds and smells seemed to be the same but there was something a little different about this opening night.

The players and owners, for the first time in a long time, actually cared about the fans that showed up. Maybe they'll think twice next time a strike situation arises.

Pregame Festivities An almost packed house of 38,124 were treated to pregame festivities, including honoring the 1994 AFC Champion San Diego Chargers. The ceremonial first pitches were thrown out by Chargers head coach Bobby Ross and Chargers general manager Bobby Beathard.

Also adding to the festive atmosphere was the return of the Famous Chicken. Absent from the Stadium since 1991, the Chicken returned to entertain the fans between innings of the opening day.

To top things off, all fans in attendance received a spec1ally designed 1995 Padres Cap, compliments of Barona Casino.

The Contest With the stage set and expectations high, the actual game itself was, to be honest, a letdown. The "new" Padres were hurt by the long ball off the bats of the "new'' Astros, in a I 0-2 loss.

Former Padres Derek Bell and Phil Plantier went a combined 5-for-8, including two home runs, three runs scored, and four RBI. As the game went on and the excitement of opening day began to wear off, the usual fair weather San Diego fans made themselves heard. Even going as far as booing usual

crowd favorite, Bip Roberts.

Roberts took exception.

The Padre second baseman thought most of the fans who booed him had consumed one too many. Roberts said it will be a while before he hands out any more complimentary gifts to the fans before a game again.

In the end only about seven or eight thousand fans stuck around for the fireworks show.

Plus, to add insult to injury. the grand finale got the second biggest ovation of the night behind the standing ovation before 1994 Natonal League batting champ Tony Gwynn's first at bat.

Not Everyone is Back The fans had to suffer enough during the offseason with the players and owners at each others throat. Now they have to suffer through watching replacement umpires call Major League Baseball games.

Since January I, the owners have locked out the major league umpires. Thus not everyone considers baseball the real thing.

"It's definitely not Major League Baseball without Major League umpires," said National League umpire Larry Poncino.

The umpires can't agree on a new contract with the owners. Poncino said that the owners have given the umps only one proposal, and have refused everything the umps have put on the table.

"We were hoping it to be a short lockout," said Poncino. "We want to get back as soon as possible."

The Day After In a complete turnaround, the Padres used a 21-hit attack, including four by Bip Roberts, to blow out the Houston Astros, 13-1.

Unfortunately, the scoreboard wasn't the only thing that completely turned around.

The stadium only drew7,468 compared to the 38,000-plus the night before.

The fans that did show up were treated to an offensive explosion by the Padres, including a 370-foot home run by Gwynn. Plus.

Right fielder Tony Gwynn leads the Padres with a career batting average of .333. what goes around, comes around in the case of the "new" players for each team. The "new" Padres went a combined 6-for-17 with three RBI. Contributing to the 13-run barrage were Bell and Plantier.

A Bell mental mistake on a 'gapper' hit by Eddie Williams in the first inning led to a run.

Plantier's inability to fight off the right field sun led to another Padre run in the five-run sixth inning.

To make things even easier for San Diego. starting pitcher Andy Ashby regained last year's form to earn h1s first victory of the year. Ashhy gave up only one run on four hits in five innings of work .

any other opening night. Hot dogs, popcorn, soda and baseball. Nothing quite like it.

Going in, many were skeptical about how the fans would react to baseball after what happened in the offseason. From the looks of the "new" Padres and the apparent dedi calion of the new owners, John Mo0res and Larry Lucchino. it might take a little while. but they'll he hack. Eventually.

Trying to give the Murph a new look w1th the palm trees in the outfield was a decent 1dca. However. no amount of redecorating will fill the stands. On the other hand. a few wins like the 13-1 VICtory could he the perfect \\ a:y to bnng the 'fa1thful" hack to th..:ir scats

The Trade Ali-in-all. in th1s short two game series. it was pretty even among the 12 players lnvohed in "the trade." Astros Bell. Plantier and Ricky Gutierrez combined to go 7-for-17 with four RBI. Padres Ken Caminiti. Steve Finley, Andujar Cedeno and Roherto Petagine combined to go 9-for-30 with three RBI. The Padres new arnvals showed flashes of hrilliance on defense, and the ex-Padres, at times. showed the form that got them traded. To sec the real effect of this blockbuster trade that involved II players and an infamous playerto-he-named-later, we' II have to wait at least until the all-star break.

Ticket prices stayed the same, but concession prices went up. The atmosphere was like

PC volleyball All-American leads Palomar past ·Grossmont wins finale Jeremy Lynch Sporrs Editor

• Hyden 's 14 kills lead PC

Led by another All-American performance by Jennifer Ortiz, the Palomar women 's softball team cruised past host Grossmont 8-1 , April 28.

Palomar used a four run outburst in the top of the fifth inning to blow the game wide ope n. Ortiz took care of the rest, allowing no earned ru ns over five inningsof work. The Palomar ace struck out nine while walking onl y three.

The victory improved the top-ranked Comets to 285 overall. According to head coach Mark Eldridge, Palomar will compete with Long Beach City College for the number one or two seed in the regionals.

The latest state softball polls have the Comets ranked number one, but Eldridge doesn't think his team will look past anyone.

"The returning players from last year have been through it before, and we as a program have dealt with it for many years," said Eldridge. "I don't think we'll take anything for granted. We'll definitely be the hunted."

The Comets find out their first round opponent Saturday, May 6. With their excellent regular season record, and past success in the state tournament (reaching the state finals six of last nine years) Palomar will host a regional qualifying round.
