Getting wired at Palomar ...

steps down Jeff Vize News Editor

After becoming the first Associated StudL·nt Government president at Pak r to be reelected since 1982, .v1 fl til Tyler resigned from office r'CLntly, claiming fa mily proble 1s ere interfering with his dut1cs.

The rc~1gnation. which was offiCially announced Aug. 9, automatically mO\Cs Executive Vice President Ellen Noonkester into the Prcs1dcnt · s seat for the remainder 01 the term. The VP position she >acatcd will be open for the tall election on ~cpt. 2 i -22.

Accordin g to Tyler, excessive ASG commitments were adversely affecting his wife and three children. In addition holding a job, Tyler spent five days a week at school fulfilling ASG duties. He also traveled frequently to participate in ASG sponsored state and nati onal lobbying conferences.

"The ASG was affecting my education and my family life . I apologize for quitting. A lot of people voted for me and I let them down." said Tyler. ''I don't want to be looked at as a quitter, but I quit."

Although he had served in the position for a year previously, Tyler said he did not realize that his time

away from home was affecting his children. He came to this realization over the summer.

"I remembered growing up how my dad was never there for my baseball games," said Tyler.

"Now, looki ng at mys e lf, I'm never there for my so n' s games because of ASG. I decided I'd better get my priorities straight."

Following Tyler's resignation. there was mixed reaction among ASG members.

Because Tyler was a returning pres1dent. members were lou!.-ing forward to a Tyler degree of continuity and experien ce on a board that includes ten ASG newcomers.

"I thought his resignation was kind of weenie," said Vice President of State Affairs Greg Armstrong. "I wish he had stayed for the term he set out for and completed it. But if he had any doubts about it, I'm glad he quit then and there."

Noonkester, however, believes that Tyler's resignation is acceptable given the reason.

Palomar instructor loses battle with deadly illness • Life sctences associate professor Lester Knapp taught at Palomar for 20 years Steven Zivanic Feature Editor

Lester V. Knapp, a Palomar associate professor of life sciences whose pride and passion in a classroom were as compelling as his natural talent for teaching, died May 23 in Columbia, S.C., 12 days after undergoing a bone marrow transplant. He was 52.

Knapp wa s suffering from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a severe condition which gradually destroyed his bone marrow . The offical cause of death was a cerebral infarction-a blood clot which cut off circulation to a large part of the brain-said Knapp's wife, Kathleen Knapp, Over his 20 year career, Knapp was best known for his various field courses which provided students with a "three dimensional course of study" and "lifetime learning experiences". His courses included trips to Tahiti, the Galapagos Islands, the Caribbean Islands and the Sea of Cortez, among others, said Palomar

President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs.

"Lester loved taking people to places they've never been to before.

He was the driving force in our Life Sciences department," Boggs said.

Knapp's death came only days after an operation designed to cure his condition though a very complex bone Knapp marrow transplantation. The operation was preceded by chemotherapy to destroy all of his leukocytes (white blood corpuscles) which would be incompatible with those newly engrafted.

For a potential bone marrow donor to even be considered for the transplant, a precise six out of six point genetic marker match had to be made, Mrs. Knapp said. Unfortunately, according to Mrs. Knapp, Palomar's insurance compa ny would not pay for the extensive

donor search- only for the actual bone marrow transplant, a situation which Mrs . Knapp termed as "a great dilemma indeed."

With no aid from Palomar, the Knapp family resorted to spending over $90,000 of their own savings to search for a qualified donor. Despite five months of searching, an exact match was never found.

"All Les wanted was a little help.

Instead, everybody just threw up fences to protect themselves. All [Palomar] sent us was get well cards .

Receiving cards in the mail isn't exactly help, you know?" said Mrs. Knapp.

"I've spent all of my income.

Now how am I going to pay back all of these debts? I have to support myself for the rest of my life and I don't have his income anymore," she added.

As a result of not finding a donor, Knapp decided to attempt the operation with someone who had only fouroutofthesix genetic mark-

Students find new uses for no-go Yugos WASHINGTON-How do you inject life into a Yugo that just won't go?

That was the challenge Kevin O'Callaghan posed to his dimensional design students at the School of Visual Arts in New York. As an end-of-the-year project, O'Callaghan dared them to turn the visually unappealing Yugoslavian econo-car into a work of art. The result: students have gotten more career mileage from their revamped Yugos than the junked cars could have ever achieved on the road.

An exhibit of more than two dozen of the wildly imaginative cars-from a Porto-Potty Yugo and a Yugo accordion to a giant Zippo-lighter Yugo and an oversized working telephone Yugo--debuted in New York's Grand Central Station.

The cars made a pit stop in July at

TAKE

Washington's Union Station, and the students are hoping to find sponsors to fund a road trip that could could take them across the United States and Canada and even to Europe. Shows are scheduled for this fall in Chicago and Montreal.

"We're really giving the car another chance at life," said O'Callaghan, a New York artist who has designed props for the stage and screen.

The Yugo, produced in what was once Yugoslavia, cruised into the American market in 1986 with a $3,990 price tag.

While Americans found it to be the answer to their driving dreams, it quickly became the 1980s version of the Edsel, with construction that was shoddy at best. Consumer Reports rated it the worst car the magazine has ever reviewed, and it was pulled from U.S. markets in 1992.

That left Yugo owners without warranties or access to parts. The car still is produced in what is now Bosnia, but a United Nations' arms embargo prevents any Yugos or parts from leaving the nation.

Before O'Callaghan challenged his students to be creative, he was in a bit of a jam himself. Grand Central Station, the largest venue a New York artist could seek, had asked him to design an exhibit to fill its main hall. O'Callaghan said he scrambled to come up with a concept large enough.

But one afternoon he was driving through New York and came upon some kids playing stickball who used a beat-up Yugo as a backstop.

"It just blew my mind," he recalled. "I got out and asked them about it, and they said it was their dad's car. He lets them use it because he can't use it anymore."

but yo u have to pu t your chi ldren are above everyth ing else. I really respect him for doing that," said Noonkester. "For that reason think that his resignation should be looked at in admiration."

Though the resignation brings the loss of an experienced leader, there was some speculation among members that there may be a positive aspect for Palomar in the long run because of the political agenda Tyler carried.

As president, Tyler was known to often focus on political issues outside of Palomar College, instead of issues on campus. Tyler often emphasized the importance of lobbying the interests of Palomar students to state and national governments.

While ASG president, Tyler also served as president of the American Student Association of Community Colleges, a federal lobbying group for U.S. Community Colleges. Admittedly. Tyler focused much ofhls effort on state and national politics through this group.

Though this seat brought Palomar national recognition and influence through the organization, Tyler was sometimes criticized for not keeping the ASG efforts directly on campus.

"I think there will be a decline Palomar's lobbying influence because Merrill was very active," said Director of Student Activities Jim Bowen. ''But on the other hand, the ASG might now devote more time to the campus." Bowen added.

Though Tyler defends his poli tical duties off campus because they related to the interests of all college students, he does admit that the new ASG might have a more on-campus approach.

"There's nobody in the ASG that's interested in focusing on lobbying or off campus politics. Their goal is specifically Palomar College," said Tyler. "That will help the school if anything."

Taking cue from Tyler, Noonkester, who has headed the ASG for three weeks, Noonkester plans not to let the organization dominate her time.

"The ASG is not going to run my life," said Noonkester. "Merrill was an excellent leader but I'm more academia oriented. I believe in a balance. Academia, my personal life, and the ASG will have equal parts."

As president, Noonkester plans to play the role of a nurturer for the new ASG members. She claims to have no political motivation outside of ASG. She looks for the ASG to have a simpler, more campus-oriented role than in previous years.

"My role is to facilitate the needs of this council and to make sure that the meetings run expeditiously. I'm going to take a little bit more of a personal approach," said Noonkester. "I have no agenda."

Palomar's Escondido center gets $1 million from state budget Jeff Vize News Editor

Angelo Cattaneo Staff Writer

Only weeks after it was granted official education center status by the state of California, Palomar College's Escondido Center already is starting to feel the monetary effects of its new independence.

According to tigures released by state officials this week, Palomar will receive $1,047,470 from a $4 million allocation in the 1995-96 state budget to seven community college districts with new education centers.

Judging from Knapp's initial response to the procedure, the intricate operation seemed successful for the first few days. Mrs. Knapp, however, said that chemotherapy treatments prior to the operation were too much for Knapp to handle.

"Radiation is a tremendous assault on the human body. While on one hand doctors were trying to prepare Les' body for surgery by destroying all of his leukocytes, his body was trying to rebalance itself to a normal state. Instead it ended up

official rededication ceremony over thesurnmerthatconcludedPalomar's yearlongpushtohavetheEscondido Center recognized by the state. According to state law, official recognition by the state makes the center eligible for the money.

Clearing the way for the center's official recogmtion was Palomar's 1994 purchase of the center for $5.6 million. Previously, the college had leased the buildings.

Palomar ofticials hailed the announcement as good news that will have a positive effect on the entire district. The news comes only one week after the college

destroying itself very quickly," Mrs. Knapp said.

Knapp believed he acquired MDS working at Palomar. He claimed that the school had a poor ventilation system that caused various chemicals, such as ether, to circulate into his work environment and cause his life threatening disease.

According to Boggs, a thorough investigation was conducted in the office where Knapp had formerly worked and no problems were found.

Kelley Macisaac, environmental health & safety specialist at Palomar, added that the room did close down for several months after Knapp discovered his condition. The closure, however, was done only to ensure

held a special rededication ceremony to celebrate designation of the 83,000 square foot Escondido complex as an education center.

Palomar President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs, said that most of the additional money will be used to pay for current and anticipated enrollment growth at the center. He explained that additional class sections will be offered and additional adjunct or part-time staff members will be hired.

"We will also probably need to purchase some additional supplies and equipment forthese additional classes," Boggs said.

proper health and safety standards were being met while qualified experts were conducting an investigation. The room. since declared safe, was reopened earlier this week.

Funeral services were held for Knapp at both Richland Memorial Hospital in S.C. on May 22 and at Sea-Grove Park in Del Mar on May 26. Knapp is survived by his wife Kathleen and his two daughters, Janis and Lesley.

A scholarship fund in Knapp's name is currently being organized for students who excel in life sciences.

"It was one of his last wishes to have a scholarship in his name. I'm grateful that one wish of his came true," Mrs. Knapp said.

New Internet class puts students online Brian Wallace Ediror-i1t-Ch1ef

Students interested in seeing just what the "information superhighway" is all about can now surf the net here at Palomar.

A new class, CSIS 137: Introduction to Internet, was born this semester and has proven very popular with students. Joseph Farrelly, the class' instructor, says approximately 25 students had to be turned away.

"This class hadquiteacrash list. We couldn't accommodate all those people," he said. "One section is scheduled for next semester, but we hope to add an additional section."

The class covers the basics various Internet functions such as web browsing, file transfers, educational research and e-mail.

The course content, however, is in a constant state of evolution as the Internet itself evolves. Farrelly, who was writing a manual for the class, found that the first couple sections were practically obsolete by the time the fall semester began.

Being connected to the Internet, however, means always having the latest version of a given piece of software. Vickie McCulloughErtl, Palomar's CSIS lab coordinator, said that the labs will now be able to keep up with the newest releases of software by downloading it directly from the Internet.

Downloading by students, however, is limited. "The students are allowed I 0 hours a week on the computers and they have to be very careful about how much they down load," McCullough-Ertl said.

Along with student downloading come new concerns for the lab. Among them: viruses and hackers.

Friday. Sept. I. 1995

Welcome bach . ..

Currently, the lab is looking to upgrade their vtrus software to something more powerful. In order to protect sensitive information in the school's computers from hackers, the Information Systems & Services has put in place a "firewall" (a system that restricts the flow of information in or out of a computer).

"This is a pilot program, so there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed," McCulloughErtl said. "They've got a firewall in place to make sure that students can't get into the computer that actually holds the grades. It ' s important not to have students changing their grades or faculty changing grades or staff changing their rate of pay. All those things are a very big concern."

Right now, the Internet-equipped lab (B-9) offers online access only to those in the class, and only in the lab. In the future, however, students may be able to dial in from home via modem and connect to the Internet through the school, McCullough-Ertl said.

For now though, McCullough-Ertl and Farrelly are simply pleased that students are learning skills which they feel are valuable both educationally and financially.

"Most large libraries have their catalogs online. Through the Internet you can browse the library's holdings-or you can get in your car and go try to fi nd a parking place and stumble around in the library," Farrelly said. "I thi nk it's a lot easier to use the Internet."

Farrelly also added that the class is useful because many jobs will require Internet skills, citing the example of local software company Qualcomm. "Qualcomm advertises all their job openings on the Internet because they want to hire people who know how to use the Internet."

San Diego was given a view into what may be the New World Order at "Insight's 95," the second annual symposium presented by the San Diego Chamber of Commerce on Aug. 4, at the San Diego Convention Center.

Centering on topics like global politics, economic policies and social issues, most speakers hinted at possible solutions for making our world a better place to live. Education was suggested by many of the speakers as one avenue to travel down the road towards the future.

With General Colin Powell as the most anticipated of the ten speakers, the business-oriented crowd was treated to viewpoints concerning world and home front economic and social issues.

General Powell gave only a few clues as to whether he will seek an elected office to end his retirement, saying "I can think of only one or two titles better than being chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff." He did indicate that he would be able to make a more firm decision after the release of his upcoming autobiography "My American Journey," due out this fall.

The morning was completed with a oration provided by the three term ex-governor of New York, Mario Cuomo. While taking swipes at the republican agenda and the Contract With America, he concentrated on social problems such as teen-age pregnancies, drugs and unemployment.

Referring to the Contract With America, Cuomo said, "it is a brilliant political document. It senses the anger, it read the polls and it accommodated them by designing ten remedies for the most popular complaints. It looks to place blame."

Cuomo raised the topic of inner city life, the madness of drugs, children bearing children and how so many unpopular social issues don't fit into the American dream. While not giving any specific answers to social problems he emphasized the need to recognize dignity of human beings. ''We've got to do better," he insisted.

After a lunchtime break hosted by comedian Rich Little, ex-governor of Texas, Ann Richards poked fun at politicians and their field, explaining "the definition of politics as coming from the root words : ' Poli' meaning man}. and 'tics,' being blood sucking insects."

On a serious note, Richards cen-

Richards Cuomo tered on government's role in society. "Education is absolutely fundamental to the movement of this nation forward, and government has a very serious role in seeing that education does that," Richards said.

She explained further that government needs to help in training in order to provide specific jobs. "The commitment to training will have to come from the public sector and the private sector," she said.

Futurist Alvin Toftler and author Dr. Carl Sagan placed the future in perspective by looking looking at the past.

Toftler said the world will soon be radically different, but before we look forward we must look back.

Paralleling his famous books, "Future Shock" and "The Third Wave", Toffler spoke about the need for changing mass production and marketing brought about by the technological revolution.

Dr. Sagan asked the listeners to comprehend the idea of our planet being "just a dot," as the voyager spacecraft viewed it after being turned · w the earth from the around t outer planes of our solar system.

Dr. Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State, spoke of America's relations with other nations, centering upon Russia, China and other Asian countries. He surmised that America's relations with Asian countries are better than their they are with themselves.

"Today we cannot solve every

Kissinger

Gurria

problem, we must choose the most important ones to solve," Dr. Kissinger said.

Peter Uberroth, entrepreneur, Baseball Commissioner and Chief Executive of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, focused on the relationship between business and government and how each will handle the plight of inner cities and education. He stated that every business in America needs to figure out how to finance public education, so there wi II be an educated work force to choose from in the future.

Elizabeth Dole, presently head of the American Red Cross, centered her talk on privatization of government-owned commodities.

She believes that areas like the transportation and safety industries should be excluded from this new direction of government.

Rounding out the day of opinions that covered private business, government and educational matters was Mexico's secretary of foreign affairs, Jose Angel Gurria, who gave insights towards the future of trade and bus mess relations between the U.S. and Mexico.

After the day long event, San D1ego business people were able to mingle and digest the implications of the various concepts presented by the days speakers. The Chamber of Commerce is hoping the San Diego business community can tum the symposium messages into future business dollars.

OPINION Citadel was not ready for women â&#x20AC;˘ Faulkner didn't get equal treatment

â&#x20AC;˘ J(eep women out of all-male schools

Staff writer

The United States is touted as the land of wealth and opportunity, whose grandest slogan is that "the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness" is guaranteed to all citizens. All citizens that is, unless one is a young woman in South Carolina who wants to attend a military-style college.

Shannon Faulkner was finally admitted to The Citadel, that bastion of male-only education, after more than two years of legal wrangling. After becoming sick in the late s urn mer of South Carolina, heatstroke, as well as the ridicule of her classmates, forced Faulkner to quit. Cheers from the other cadets rang out on the campus, as Faulkner left the grounds.

Many people think that Faulkner's resignation means the end of women trying to break the tradition of all-male schools. But her legal and emotional tight has blazed trails for other female applicants. Faulkner was pursuing her right to happiness by attending a mi li tary-sty le college, and she accomplished it. Her struggle was not in vain, because now other women can apply to The Citadel and not be discriminated against simply because they are women.

Currently in South Carolina no coed or women's college claims a military curriculum similar to that of The Citadel. Women who want to be taught in a military atmosphere have nowhere to go in South Carolina.

So Faulkner had no choice: to stay in South Carolina and attend ami I itary schoo I, she had to apply to The Citadel. If a curriculum comparable to the military regime offered at The Citadel were offered at another college open to women, I could understand The Citadel's refusal to admit Faulkner.

The Citadel receives state funding (consisting of women's tax dollars) so it cannot exclude women. If it was a private school, Faulkner wouldn't have had a case.

Although everyone should have the right to the type of education they want, I don't see how anyone in their right mind would want to attend The Citadel. All the students there are depicted on the news as sexist, brutish Neanderthals. The course of study seems to be an excess amount of chest beating and a "Me Grog, You Thag" mentality. One cadet told Newsweek hewasattendingTheCitadelsothathe would have better relations with both Christ and his future wife. I'd hate to see his wife bear the brunt of the so-called education cadets receive at The Citadel, which to me consists of total hatred of and disrespect for women.

Why does Shannon Faulkner want to go to The Citadel? Does it offer a better education?

Possibly, but I doubt it. West Point and Annapolis both accept women cadets. The only reason I can think of is publicity.

Equal rights? Bull. What about men ' s rights? Don't they have the right to continue a tradition that has been maintained for over 150 years? An all-male school is not geared for women. There are no facilities established to accommodate women. There are very few women's restrooms on campus, and the only barracks are for men. There are some places women just don't belong.

Most men's schools have certain traditions, especially if they are military. Such traditions are honored for reasons of discipline and equality. When there is very little difference in appearance, there is equal opportunity to succeed. Shannon Faulkner wanted to be treated as an equal as far as privileges, curriculum and sleeping accommodations, but, when thecircumstancesdidn't suit her, she wanted special treatment. Sorry, if she wants to be there she should have to take the good with the bad.

In my opinion, women in a traditionally male environment have the potential to be both distracting and disruptive.

Don't the males who attend the school have any rights? Don't men have the right to privacy? Shouldn't they have the right to shower, sleep and speak without the possible embarrassment of being exposed to the female gender? Men need a place where they can be themselves.

I could understand if it were the only school that offered a superior education, military training or some other specialized training that was impossible to obtain anywhere else.

However, that is not the case. In the United States I can't think of anything that any female cannot learn at just as fine an institution as the men attend. Therefore, why would a woman want to cry discrimination and destroy both and long-standing tradition and the morale of the school?

Let's face it, males and females are different. Nature planned it that way for very good and obvious reasons. Personally I like it that way.

Equal rights can be carried a little too far.

What next, ladies, the men's room? Do we learn how to urinate standing up?

Should women be admitted into all-male schools?

When Shannon Faulkner won the right to be the first female to attend The Citadel, feelings ran hot. While many people felt she had broken down another gender barrier, others felt women do not belong in all-male schools. Is this schoool out of date?

Should women be allowed in?

"Women who can perform as well as men should be allowed to attend ."

"Yes, because it's too old fashioned not to let them in."

"Yes, if a woman is qualified it should not matter on gender, race, or economics."

"If they can get in I think they should get in."

It doesn't matter if we are male or female, we can still do the same things."

OPINION 7

Straight From The Gut Chris Gleason

Ask not for whom the bell tolls . ...

Most students spend their summer vacations thinking about surfing, skating, sailing or anything other than school or work.

I spent most of mine thinking about cowardice and how jaded we really are.

North Park resident Rosa Mae Dixon, 80, was sitting in her home on the night of June 23, watching TV with her sister. Sometime that night, a man entered her house through an open window and raped her.

The shock sent Dixon into cardiac arrest.

She died the next day at the hospital.

I'm sure most of you out there heard about this case and wondered much the same thing I did- how could a healthy and strong young

man be cowardly enough to rape an SO-yearold woman? Then , most of you probably went back to your dinners and forgot about it.

Normally, I would have done the same thing.

I haven't, however, been able to do that this time. Mae Dixon was a friend of mine- one of my co-workers at Senior Adult Services.

She was the kind of person who would always listen, whether you were talking about the president or the Padres. She also had a quick Midwestern wit and, quite possibly , the most infectious laugh ever to have graced this planet. At oftice parties, she was even generr ous enough to bake a separate batch of cookies just for me- she knew I don't like walnuts.

The point of this mini-eulogy? Mae Dixon was a human being, and deserves to be remembered as such. She was a human who died a horrible, evil death at the hands of a coward.

She was not a phantom in some news story.

I write these words with anger not at you, Gentle Reader, but at myself. You see, during my as-yet short years, I forgot just that.

I also forgot that attached to any human being is a circle of family and friends who share that person's joy or sorrow, or, as in this case, mourn her death. And, most importantly, I forgot that no one is exempt from being a part of one of these kinds of situations.

No one has a special force-field protecting them from the lives of other people.

All of this I forgot- and I'm in the news business. The coward who raped and killed Mae forgot, too. That people could ever forget such a basic element ofhumanity frightens me like nothing else in this world .

I'm glad I eventually remembered these things, but for the rest of my life, I will wonder why it took the death of another human being to get me to remember.

My friends, remember now.

"It tolls for thee."

-John Donne, "Meditation 17"

In loving memory of Rosa Mae Dixon, my friend.

Faulkner's decision hurts all women Carla Mays Staff Writer

Shannon Faulkner did not realize the serious nature of the decision she made when entering The Citadel.

After more than two and half years of litigation over the right to become a fullfledged cadet, Faulkner dropped out after only five days.

While it's true that about 30 cadets dropped out of The Citadel, none of them really mattered; Shannon Faulkner did. She had won the right to enter "The Good Old Boys Training Center," to show that women can withstand the challenges of men.

proved that a woman couldn't handle it.

That was something we could have done without.

Faulkner cites the legal battle, Citadel staff, the cadets and her poor physical condition for leaving. Didn't she realize that life at The Citadel for a male or female is filled with extreme stress, harassment and little sleep?

She had over two years to mentally and physically prepare herself for the rigors of The Citadel. Did she think something called " hell week" was going to be easy?

She should have stepped aside and let a stronger woman take the lead, before it came "crashing in" around her.

Letters to the Editor

Volume 49, NumiJer 1

What makes the issue a shame is that Faulkner feels no dishonor to her family, friends, women and other supporters or The Citadel who spent over $3 million on legal costs and $30,000 on various lifestyle renovations to suit her.

As Faulkner left, she told the press, " I do not think there's any dishonor in leaving." That's right she didn't think about the thousands of women working and wanting to compete in male dominated institutions and work places.

Another excuse she claimed was the political point she was making : " I think there's dis-justice in my staying and killing myself just for the political point." She

ENTERTAINMENT Face to Face shreds hardcore rhythms Brad Rubin Entertainment Editor

Four punkers from the hard-core mecca of Victorvi lie feasted on the oh-so punk pre-concert buffet of pretzels, chips and dip before their Aug. 26 SOMA Live show.

"Victorville is years behind Los Angeles like it always has been," says Trever Keith, vocalist-lyricist and guitarist for the emerging punkrock outfit Face to Face.

"Victorville is years behind Tennessee," interjects guitarist Chad Yaro. Trever, Chad along with bassist Matt Riddle and drummer Rob Kurth comprise the foursome that is Face to Face. The best way to describe their brand of 'core is servings upon servings of brash melodies blended with intense powerchord progressions.

The band wrapped up their U.S tour this past Sunday in Arizona but not before stopping off in San Diego to play a gig that was pure Face To Face. In a 18 song, one-hour set, Trever and company played the three-chord cuts to perfection and managed some swell improvisation that hooked the legions of surfers, skaters and punkers into a dancing frenzy.

"Now throw your hands up in the air and wave them like you just don't care ... " said Trever during an extended four-minute version of "Pastel," in which for a few moments hip-hop had taken over, well sort of. The band came back to its semblance of friendly hardcore to

run off a steady stream of supercharged melody-laden ditties including the old Decedents song "Bikeage."

Face to Face's new offer, "Big Choice," has sold around 70,000 copies so far and the old adage of "sell-out" has not escaped the realm of the band. Trever explains that band reluctantly agreed to include the three year-old song "Disconnected" as a bonus track on the compact disc and cassette versions of "Big Choice" and cries of "sellout" could be heard miles away .

"We said, o.k. we'll put 'Disconnected' on the new record but we want to make a joke it about because [sell-out] is what people will say anyway."Thejoke is an one-minute narrative on the compact disc where the band argues with the president of the label about their fears of reprisal if they put "Disconnected" on the new record.

The anti-Face to Face sentiment increased when a video for "Disconnected" appeared on MTV' s 120 Minutes all of 2 times. MTV, thedreadoftheindiecommunity, is not as hated by these guys one bit.

"We love MTV exposure," says Trever.

"People don't like u.s 'cause we're on MTV. These days in the ' 90s, every TV comes with an off button," offers Rob. "It's a new invention," adds Matt.

When they'-re not on MTV, the band is writing tracks for the new record and a few compilations, including a cartoon compilation for

Face To Face entertained the SOMA Live crowd this past Saturday with a charged one-hour set. which they recorded "Popeye."

One thing is missing and that is that "Big Choice" has not been available on vinyl as of yet. Victory decided against vinyl so,with the label's okay, the band struck a deal with Fat Wreck Chords to take care of that problem with the release coming on colored vinyl in October. If"Big Choice" was not among the members of the great black licorice catalog Face to Face would be forever impersonal and forgotten.

"Fat Wreck Chords will push 'Big Choice' to the ten or eleven

people who buy vinyl,"saysTrever.

The relative success of the new record have helped their Fat Wreck Chords/Dr. Strange release, "Don't Tum Away," sell 65,000 copies.

"Don't Turn Away" was actually done for Dr. Strange Records who in turn sold the record to Fat Wreck Chords. The band also has an EP, "Over It" on Victory.

"Fat Mike (NOFX frontman) took us to dinner and sent us nude photossowesigned with Fat Wreck Chords," explains Matt, who has been reveling in good-natured non-

sense for most of his existence.

Good-natured collective attitude and a little bit of talent has enabled the band to produce, while not exactly groundbreaking material, music that burns a trail of life and the struggling emotions that go with it.

And what opinion does the band have on Shannon Faulkner of The Citadel infamy?

"Citadel-The factory stores?"

"She just wanted to be in the news," concludes Rob. They've like been on a vast U.S. tour or something.

Watch out for 'Illusions' Carla Van Wagoner Phow Editor

Courtesy of United Artists

Scott Bakula stars as private investigator Harry D'Amour.

The latest horror film to come from the recesses of Clive Barker's macabre imagination, "Lord of Illusions," can literally make you scream, yet there is a void that leaves audiences hungry for more.

The film, written and directed

by Clive Barker, is based on his short story "The Last Illusion."

The film offers the chills of a decent horror flick as well as the filmnoirqualityofa 1950's whodone-it suspense mystery. The only draw back to this combination is that both elements work against each other pulling the audience in two different directions. There is too much genre for the film's own worth.

The action centers around New York-based gumshoe Harry D'Amour (Scott Bakula).

D'Amour is sent to Los Angeles by his boss to investigate a low profile fraudulent insurance case and also to enjoy a much needed vacation. He soon finds himself drawn into the mysterious world of master magician/illusionist Philip Swann (Kevin J. O'Connor) and his beautiful wife Dorethea (Famke Janssen), thus leaving behind both his previous

investigation and his vacation plans.

Bakula, the former star of "Quantum Leap," has been trying to leap into a film career and may have hit the jackpot. Bakula's performance as D'Amour is worth getting your wits fried and staying through the meal.

D'Amour is not your average detective. He manages to find the dark and horrifying side of his cases. After all, this is a horror film. If Bakula and Barker's intentions were to present a very sedate, brooding, mysterious and fearless character, they succeeded.

O'Connor puts in an okay performance as the troubled illusionist. He plays a man on the edge. A man with a secret. A man who possibly drank too much coffee.

Janssen, is the woman D'Amour and Swann have their eyes fixed on. BothO'ConnorandJanssen's characters however are halfbaked and underdeveloped making for a lasting affect of mediocrity.

Aside from a large and decent supporting cast there are a few cameo characters who create some wonderful moments. Character actor Vincent Schiavelli's appearance as the magician

Vinovich is a brief and high point in the film. Audiences may remember him as the angry subway spirit in "Ghost."

Also making his feature film debut as magician Billy Who is local San Diego talent Lorin Stewart. Stewart does a fine job acting like a magician. Could it be because he is a real life illusionist? Having such skills not only won him a role, but he also served as the tilm's magic consultant to ensure authenticity.

Although actors and stories are why audiences generally go to the moves, it is not enough these days to curb the hunger of a much more visually oriented and thrill seeking audience. "Illusions" provides the special effects that would appease horror fans, but it goes overboard.

A plethora of special effects doesn't insure a winner at the box office. Barker has a good story, albeit a short one, and tries to make it fit on the big screen. It doesn't fit. It's too short and choppy to show real character development.

In the end however we're left wondering what Barker's intentions were. Was he making a horrifying suspense film or a suspenseful horror film?

With a flick of the wrist, a snap of the fingers and a sparkle in his eye. magician and actor Lorin Stewart makes his feature film debut in Clive Barker's "Lord of Illusions." For most of his life he has dazzled theatre audiences by reading their minds, making arose bleed and even quoting Shakespeare.

Stewart set aside a few moments during the San Diego premiere and later at his home, to give us a glimpse into his magical career.

Q: How did you first get into magic?

A: I started when I was a little kid. When I was about six or seven years old. Started playing with little tricks and playing with other stuff.

Then you start seeing the Ph.D' s in the family going, 'How did you do that, little kid?' and really not know (how the trick was done) and then coming back after the party saying 'How did you do that?'

Q: Did you study under any¡ one in particular?

A: No, really from books. You really can turn literature into something practical.

Q: What a bout as you grew older?

A: I contin ued dabbling with magic and then I went to Santa Clara University. I was given a scholarship from Qui ntin from a company called Quinn/Martin Productions. He gave me a full scholarship for my college tuition as long as I took business in addition to

theatre at night. I was able to get a business minor with a really good college. Then I went to London in 1981-82 as an apprentice with The Royal Shakespeare Company. I ended up with some really good reviews. All along, to earn money, I was working as a magician in Covenant Garden as a street performer.

That was probably where I learned more than anything, is by street performing.Takingmy chances with the public.

Q: How does acting fit into your life now?

A: Acting, it's interesting. I had resigned myself to never really acting. I had wanted, a long time ago, to run my own theatre company .

Managing at the Old Time Trolley is neat because it's a bunch of characters, a script and selling tickets for $16 a head to people to take a tour. I cant forget about acting except for the fact, magic is acting.

Q: How's the acting career here compare with what you've done in the past?

A: I came back here and I was amazed at just how terrible this was, because in London I was spoiled.

Being an ethnic American and being in England was good for getting roles because I did lots of different types of roles. I was able to play Indian people, half Italian people and actually I' m half-Chinese and half-Scottis h . In Amer ica, everyone's an actor. I really got disillusioned. I figured that after my third or fourth Taco Bell commercial and and being rejected because I wasn't Mexican looking enough, this is not it. I was able to get back

into magic and started really working on my magic show.

Q: How did you meet Clive Barker?

A: I was performing magic at the Marriott Sea Side Grill for Sunday brunch, three years ago. There was this group of young people and I thought 'maybe I won't go over.'

Someone had said that they were from the Comic convention and me being green, tho ught they were comics, comedians, not comic book people. I walked up and did my show and for comic book people this was right up their street. After the show Cl ive said, 'Let me give you my name and nu mber.' I was tell ing everybody that I almost did n't go over to that table. I was going to let the other magician go over to the table. So I was in the right place at the right time.

• One Palomar student finds exotic dancing a good way to finance an education Steven Zivanic Feature Editor

You wouldn't know it if you saw her in class, but at night 24-year-old Palomar student "Tabitha" takes it off to pay for her tuition.

Tabitha (who's real name is being withheld for privacy) dances at a topless nightclub in Oceanside called 'The Main Attraction."

She's also an English literature major at Palomar who claims that being an exotic dancer is definitely the best job she's ever held.

"I do this job for the money.

There's a lot of misconcepions about exotic dancers-how they get caught up in this and that (drugs and sex), but I have a pretty large bank account, a very nice beachfront house and I'm happy with my current lifestyle," Tabitha said·.

Although her nightly earnings fluctuate on a daily basis, Tabitha says she averages $200 per night and can make as much as $600 in a single evening.

To put matters into a broader perspective, Tabitha averages over $55,000peryear-notbadforsomeonestill striving to receive her bachelor degree.

Tabitha does admit, however, to having the occasional slow day. One day she walked home with a "lousy 30 bucks" in her pocket.

"It was just a bad ·day. Just a bunch of guys with really thin wallets. I guess," said Tabitha.

She says that she has held various "typical" jobs in the past, such as retail and marketing sales positions in department stores, but maintains that being an exotic dancer is a somewhat glamorous job and perhaps one of the only jobs which enables her to enjoy a flexible schedule.

"With this job, I have time to study and partake in my favorite sport (rock climbing) and I'm even able to have a social life-which a

Whatever her future may have in store, Tabitha says that she'll continue to be an exotic dancer, at least for the foreseable future. She added that dancing would continue to put her through school, as it has for the past three years.

"If I were to become a lawyer, I most likely would not continue my career as an exotic dancer- I'd be making more money anyhow. If I were to become a teacher, though, I would combine the two jobs- teach in the day and dance all night.

"A lot of girls here (The Main Attraction) work two different, completely unrelated jobs. We have a lot of nurses here, paralegals- you name it," Tabitha said.

Tabitha says that respect is subjective and that the respect she has for herself is all that matters.

"My family knows I dance and so do all of my friends, and they all support me wholeheartedly. If people choose not to accept me for who am or what I do, then I simply don't care to associate with them," Tabitha said.

Surprisingly enough, Tabitha does not have a boyfriend; just a very nice dog. According to Tabitha, a lot of exotic dancers don't pick the right men for a potential relationship and end up having some serious jealousy-related problems along the way.

"A lot of girls just pick closedminded men. I don't pick men who get jealous over my profession or men who are going to interfere with my life. This (dancing) is a big part of my life right now," added Tabitha.

"Whenever I meet a guy somewhere and I tell them what I do, they automatcally think I'm promiscuous and sleazy, but actually, and often to their surprise, I tell them that J quilt and cook and I study Asian literature. Right now, the contemporary Asian authors are pretty interesting," she said.

SPORTS Winds of change rustle up Palomar football Sean Thomas Staff Writer

Palomar's football team has had the misfortune of changing head coaches for the past two seasons. Two years ago, Tom Craft moved on to San Diego State only to be replaced by Tom Kaumeyer. Kaumeyer is now coaching the Japan World League Football team. Coach Jim Sanderson has now filled the void.

Sanderson is a veteran of the coaching ranks. He has had twenty-four years experience. At Palomar, Sanderson inherits a team that knows how to succeed. During the past six years, the Comets have won two state championships, two national championships, and six straight bowl games. The amazing thing is that the Comets have continued this dominance with transition seemingly every year.

"I feel that it hasn't been fair for our players to have to go through two coaching changes in the last two years,'' replied Coach Sanderson. "Even though we have tried to keep things the same there is always little differences in the way you coach."

Those little differences will seem to fall on the defensive side of the ball due to the fact that Palomar's no-huddle offense has consistently been one of the nations most prolific passing attacks. "I don't care if we are at the other teams one yard line, we will throw the ball. This offense has averaged 350 yards in the air per game for the last 4 years," commented Coach Sanderson.

This year, however. there will be a new quarterback heading the attack. Last year's backup Chris Keldorf will take the reigns.

"With Chris' size (6'5"), leadership, intelligence, and understanding of the game. There is no reason why he won't be as successful as past Palomar quarterbacks before him," adds Sanderson.

Looking to protect Keldorf will be starting tackles of a year ago Sean King and Tim Schonbrum. At wide receiver, Damon Porter will be looked upon to make the big catches this year. Marc Crnkovic, Travis Hill, Cory Bieniemy, and Matt Olney will be competing for playing time at the running back position.

If there was a weakness of Palomar teams

of the past, it would most likely be the defense. This year however, with a new defensive scheme and the right mixture of talent, the Comets could have one of their strongest defences in quite some time.

"What we are doing on the defensive side of the ball is to make our players think more," stated Coach Sanderson. "We will have them adjust to the offensive formation and position themselves accordingly."

The defense has improved in just about every area either by new additions or players

gaining a year of experience. The defensive line will be lead by part time starter of a year ago, tackle Jeff Johnson. The linebacking unit will be solid in stopping the run and dropping back in pass coverage. It's led by Jimmy Burk, who Sanderson calls "a rare talent." The secondary will was one of the previous season's weakest spots has made a complete turn-around. It is led by cornerback Ranel Robinson, a starter two years ago on the National Championship team. Other players looking to contribute in the secondary include

starting safety Ryan Hill and starting cornerback Louis Muckle.

"My expectations for this team is to play very competively in the conference," added Sanderson. "When you are at the top of the conference you get to go to a bowl game."

Palomar reached a bowl game last season and defeated rival Grossmont in the San Diego Bowl to end a stellar year. Hopefully, with a new coaching staff and changes on both sides of the ball, they can reach the plateau of excellence again this season.

49ers, Chargers still top dogs in the NFL Rick Martinez Sports Ediwr

The anticipation of the 1995 NFL season dwarfs that of any other in recent memory. Never before have such high expectations been placed on so many of the league's teams and never before have so many teams had a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl.

In this era of free-agency, teams have the opportunity to go from worst to first or simply add to their already loaded arsenals by shelling out a few millions and restructuring a few contracts. But hey, you can't put a price on a Super Bowl championship, can you? Just ask the World Champion 49ers.

Here's another question, is this the year the AFC snaps out of it's ten plus year funk and finally beats the big bad NFC in the Super Bowl?

Take that question to the Marinos, Humphries', and Bledsoes of the league.

With those questions in mind, here's some more food for thought: • Is it just me or is Deion Sanders the most annoying, self-absorbed, overpaid idiot in professional sports?

He should take his "Must be the money" attitude and stick it you know where.

•Despite making it to the AFC Championship Game in '94 Pittsburgh has got to be the most overrated teams teams in the last 10 years. It was pathetic to see the "Steel City" fans living in the past and thinking they'd beat San Diego because the Steelers already had fourtitles in the 1970's. Hello! That was 20 years ago!

• Oakland still sucks!

•The World Champion 49ers should already make their hotel reservations in Phoenix for Super Bowl XXX. I think the Cowboys will be back, but not this year. Dei on or no Deion, the 'Niners defense is only getting better and that's bad news for the rest of the league.

• The experts were calling last year's 49er offense the greatest passing offense of all time. But my heart will always be with the Air Coryell Chargers of the late 70's and early 80's.

• Can San Diego put everything together and take it to the next level ?

In a word YES! • Look out for Miami. They have

their best defense of the Marino era and we all know what. Danny-boy can do with the offense.

• If the Dolphins don't do it this year, Don Shula will be put to pasture and Jimmy Johnson will be the new kid in town come '96.

• Look for the top spot in NFC Central to be a battle of the bays', Green Bay vs. Tampa Bay. Sorry Bears fans.

• Did I mention the Raiders suck!

•Are Ray Rhodes and Ricky Watters the answerto Philly's problems? Maybe, but the Eagles are still Randall Cunnningham's team and can only go as far as he takes them.

• By signing the NFL's best conditioned 34 year-old athlete in Hershel Walker, and with the continuing maturation of quarterback Dave Brown, the New York Giants are going to give the 'Boys from Dallas a run for their money in the NFC East.

• The NFC Championship Game is already a foregone conclusion, Dallas vs. San Francisco at Candlestick Park. Look for San Diego and Miami to get it on in Thunder Valley for the AFC crown.
