When docs English I 00 at Palomar equal English I A at another?

Never, if a new state Senate bill unifying course numbering is signed into law by Gov. Pete Wilson this week.

The bill, if passed, will require California's community colleges to create a system to standardize course numbering statewide.

The new ''Common Course Numbering System" is being intro-

duced to simplify the process of transferring from community colleges to four-year universities, according to Cody Lutsch, ASG vice president of state affairs. With the system. it will be easier for students to determine if their course is transferable to the California State University and University ofCalifornia systems.

Currently, each college decides course names and titles independently. The common numbering system would require the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges to develop and maintain a general course number-

ing system for-use by all California community colleges.

"Because ofthcdiversity of catalog numbering systems used in California, students arc prone to taking classes not necessary for their educational goals," said Jim Bowen, Palomar's director of Student Activities.

If passed, the Board of Governors would report back to the state legislature by Jan. I, 1998, on progress toward implementation of tlie system. Costs toward development would be absorbed by the of-

Who should clean the cafeteria?

Jenni Kendall Sw[fWriter

Faced with increasing student complaints about cleanliness, Palomar's Student Union cafeteria has run into a battle over who's responsibility it is to keep the area clean.

In the past, custodians have washed the floor and emptied the trash and recycling bins, while food service workers clean off the tables. Now both sides are claiming it's not their job to clean up after students.

Associated Student Government President Ellen Noonkestersummed

up the problem with an analogy.

'The eating area is like an accident that happened between state and county lines-neither district wants to claim responsibility and come clean it up."

According to the ASG, more than one anonymous student has threatened to call the county health inspector if action isn't taken to improve cleanliness.

"We need a bug zapper. The flies have been really bad lately," said Stephen Hawley, a student majoring in biomedical engineering, referring to an eating area swarming with flies.

Hawley believes the flies are due

to the fact that trash cans in the Student Union arc usually overllow1 ing before noon.

Custodians claim the Student Union is cleaned from top to bottom every night. Yet, one hour after it's open, Custodial Supervisor Phil Morgan says it looks like a tornado blew through, emptying out all the trash onto the table tops. ··we used to clean a lot of the campus with student workers. but the school got so large that this became impossible," said Morgan.

Food service workers arc under the impression that the custodians

See MESS, Page 3

Students may soon find themselves paying $10 per year for an updated Student Union.

During the spring 1996elections. the Associated Student Government will include a proposal which, if passed , will incur a $1 fee per unit to help build a state of the art, twostory Student Center.

"We don't inherit t~e world from our parents, we borrow it from our children . Passing this proposition will make Palomar a better place for future students." said Associated Student Government President Ellen Noonkestcr.

The updated student center would house all Student Activities, quiet study areas, and most student services including educational and career counseling, financial aid and employment services.

Plans are also in the works to

move the offices of The Telescope and KKSM to the top floor of the new center.

The minimal fee of $1 per unit, which would not exceed $10 per academic year, would go towards the total amount needed to build the new student center. For example, if a student enrolls in 12 units during fall semester, the student will pay $10 and not have to pay any fees in spring. These additional fees would not apply to Board of Governors grant students.

If imp(( men ted, the fee will begin for fall 1996, and continue until the construction is paid for. After this, the fee may be reduced to an amount sufficient to maintain and renovate the center.

"The dream is to completely revise the building-bigger and better. We want to centralize everythmg," said ASG Advisor Jim Bowen.

Multimedia presentationdeveloped for incoming Palomar students Brian Wallace Editor-ill-Chief

Incoming Palomar students will now find a more interesting, entertaining orientation presentation than students in the past have experienced.

An outdated videotape has been replaced by a new multimedia presentation featuring music. sounds and computer animation. ''The videotape was ti ve years old, so it needed updating. We had information on the video that was incorrect in terms of requirementsofunitsandsoforth. There was no section on PAR and one of the most confusing things for new students here at Palomar is how they register," Career Center Director Maria Miller said.

The new orientation program, developed over the summer by a design team which Miller headed, is projected from a laptop computer onto a screen. There is

no narrator in the computer program itself, so counselor must be present to elaborate on the details presented in the program.

Beginning with a slide show of various scenes from the Palomar campus, the presentation moves on to display images of Palomar's past 50 ·years, after which, it outlines the economic bene tits of higher education.

A main menu is then displayed, from which the presentation heads into such key topics as course catalogs, the phone-andregister system, class schedules, associate degrees, certificates and Palomar's transfer program. Students follow an animated '55 Oldsmobile through the program, as it navigates through all of the areas covered by the presentation.

According to Miller, the program has already been shown to one group of students and was well-received. Miller says the

North Texas group wins top college band honors NEWYORK-Andrew Hamner wants to be a rock star.

"I want to be famous," sayS11ic University of North Texas sophomore. "I want to be all over the place.''

And after a couple of years playing drums for the Skastafarians, a ska band out of Dallas, Hamner may be on his way.

After all, his band just won the "Conan O'Brien College Band Search" and was rewarded with a trip to New York City. a recording session at the Hit Factory and an appearance on the late-night show, which has had a pretty credible list of bands on, ranging from the Breeders and Buffalo Tom to the Gigilo Ants and Morphine "This whole week has been really intense," said Hamner.

The Skastafarians were chosen from more than 100 entries, beating out bands

from across the nation who. like the Skastafarians, have at least 75 percent of their members enrolled in college. "!learned about this contest when I was watching the show one night sol figured, what the hciJ'I" says guitarist Daniel Stampfel. "We have a pretty good following in Dallas. All I had to do was send in a tape. It wasn't really high-risk or anything."

Stampfcl sent in a copy of "I was a Lustful Teen-age Ghoul," an orig:nal song penned by the band members. Soon after, he heard from 0' Brien's staff.

DSPS staff flees sick building Angela A. Logan Opinion Ediwr

After suffering for seven months of everything from headaches to fatigue. the employees of the Disabled Students Programs and Services have been driven from their campus headquarters building.

In February, after torrential rain soaked the carpets, Learning Disabled Specialist Sue Norton complained of headaches and burning eyes.

After Norton had suffered for a month, the school decided to treat the carpet for mold and mildew.

According to DSPS Director Ron

Haines, Norton's problems persisted. Consequently, during spring break, new carpet was installed in her office. This did not solve the problem, and people working down the hall from Norton began to exhibit similar symptoms . ''I would have irritated eyes. and I was nauseated," Susan Mathers, Coordinator/Counselor of the Partnerships ProJect said.

"I had the worst allergy allack I've had in 15 years."

In June, all the carpet in the building's south end was replaced.

They also bleached the wood floors and checked under the building, which is located at the north end of

campus just past the Snack Shack.

When staff returned full time in the fall, complaints persisted.

Their symptoms were also worse, Haines said.

Problems escalated during the last heat wave, when one employee was unable to come to work. People with minor problems started to get worse. ''For a long time I had all the symptoms off and on," said DSPS Councilor Ruth Tait-Brown. "Last week, it all came to a head. I coughed my way through the day."

Dr. Frederick Fung, director of environmental health and safety at Sharp, Reef and Stealy Medical

Group, was called to check for the cause of all the problems, so the DSPS program was displaced.

Haines said they were told by Fung they would be displaced for at least three weeks.

"We're all glad they're finally addressing the problem," TailBrown said.

Until the source of the problem is found, DSPS will be using the TS building (which has no wheelchair ramp) located behind the SC building.

"For the time being, we'll be under the canopy in front of the DSPS building. Please be patient," Haines said.

AmeriCorps program under attack for elimination Elissa Leibowitz Colle!(e Press Service

WASHINGTON-Lawmakers this week marked the first anniversary of the AmeriCorps program, one day after some in Congress took steps to make it the last.

The National Service program, which has put 20.000 students to work in more than 350 programs nationwtde. celebrated its first birthday Sept. 12. one day after a Senate appropriations subcommittee voted to eliminate it.

Sen. Christopher Bond. R-Mo .. chairman of the appropriations subcommittee, and other Republicans said the $472 million program costs too much. Bond said he had to sacrifice it in orderto fully fund community development block grants to cities.

Using a budget report from the General Accounting Office as ammunition , Sen. Charles Grass ley (R-

"The way course numbering is set up now creates a lot of confusion," said Lutsch. "For example, Liberal Arts I 08 here at Palomar might be Liberal Arts 40 at another college. The hill will make things smoother when students transfer."

According to Palomar Transfer Center Director Bob Larson, the idea of unifying college course numbering is not new.

"There has been a desire for a common numbering system for quite some time, but it is just been too huge a task to undertake. In-

Iowa) attacked AmeriCorps, claiming the costs to the taxpayers is too high. "When compared to other proven programs, both public and private, AmeriCorps is by far the most expensive and least effective way to achieve its goals," Grassley said.

The House voted earlier this year to throw out the program.

"We can only regard this action as a triumph of politics over principle," said Eli J. Segal. president of the Corporation for National Service, which oversees the federal program. ''National service will not be eliminated. Simply put. local programs are too good; local communities know and appreciate it."

Segal and some members of Congress satd they arc not ready to give up the tight. They banded to¡gether with AmeriCorps members and supporters at a Sept. 12 rally.

Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) said she is ready "to arm-wrestle stead, over the years they've come up with several smaller agreements," said Larson.

Among those agreements, said Larson , is the California Articulation Number System (CAN), which has been in place since 1984, CAN has stmplified the transfer process by assigning transferable courses two numbers: one for the school and one for the statewide standard. The CAN system covers 150 courses .

According to Larson, the biggest obstacle for those in favor of the common course numbering system is the fact that CAN already existed. ''Their thinking is 'Why should we spend so much time and money on this when we already have CAN?'" said Larson.

and nrm--twist anyone" to preserve AmeriCorps. Mikulski, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Appropriations subcommittee, said she voted against the appropriations bill because it did not include funding for national service .

"There is a repeated attack taking place on opportunities for young people. It's happening in student loans. It's happening in public education. And it's happening in national service," Mikulski said at the rally. "I believe that we are a nation that believes in opportunities for our young people. If young people want to work hard and play by the rules, they should be rewarded with real opportunities."

AmeriCorps pays its 20,000 students a stipend and a grant for education in exchange for one year's service on community projects .

President Clinton began the national service program soon after he took

office in January 1993.

Clinton expressed his support for the AmeriCorps program at a speech at Southern Illinois University in mid-September. "AmeriCorps is givingthousandsandthousandsofyoung people the chance to earn and save up money for college while serving their communities," Clinton said.

In Washington a few days later, the president criticized Republican efforts to cut the program, saying that the benetits greatly outweighed the costs. ''This is a tiny, tiny budget item that docs an enom1ous amount of good."Ciinton said, adding that each federal dollar invested in AmeriCorps returns $1.60 to $2.60 in benefits.

But many Congressional Republicans disagree that AmeriCorps' benefits outweigh its costs. According to one report, AmeriCorps was spending the equivalent of $26,654 per volunteer per year, 92 percent of which was funded by taxpayers.

In order for the proposition to pass, at least 2,800 students need to vote. Two-thirds ofthese votes must be in favor of the new Student Center. The 2,800 number represents I ,800 times the number of people who voted in the ASG election held two weeks ago. Over the past five years, turnouts for ASG elections have averaged about 200 voters per semester.

According-to Noonkester, "The students don't realize it but they own the Student Center, and they should have a building to be proud of-plus, this is a great way to improve our school."

Last Tuesday an ad hoc committee, formed to look further into the building of the _student center, met with San Marcos Mayor F.H. "Corky" Smith and the San Marcos Director of Community Services Bill Schramm.

Smith and Schramm are giving the committee their support, and were very helpful in answering the committee's various questions.

"I was very pleased to see that the city was so involved with Palomar," said ASG Senator Kathy Kremer.

Will Palomar ever break ground?

Golden anniversary book out in October • Book detailing Palomar's first 50 years written by associate history professor Robin Allyn Staff Writer

It is literature 50 years in the making. In mid-October it will be available.

"Palomar College Golden Jubilee," a new book detailing the 50year history of Palomar College is nearing its completion and wi II soon be available for $20 at Palomar's bookstore.

Pat Archer. an associate professor of history at Palomar, began writing the book in June of 1994.

Since then, 84 people have helped contribute to the book, researching and documenting the histories and roots of various departments and programs on campus.

The 656-page book contains over I ,000 photos, 63 of which are in color. The trends and styles of the times are tracked through these photos, most of which came from back issues of The Telescope.

Among the book's pictures are shots of the college's original WWII military surplus buildings and photos of the current campus as it developed.

"The first part consists of the chronological history of the college from 1946 and coming up to the

preseni time," said Archer. 'The rest is the individual histories of the different departments on campus.

Most of the latter chapters were written by people [in these departments]."

One of the books co-authors, Carla Van Wagoner, who wrote the book's chapter on the Inter-Club Council, called her research and writing experience forthe book very interesting. "The ICC has changed a lot overthe years. It's grown from being local community service oriented to being global community oriented," she said.

Loren Lee. social science department chair, came up with the idea that a college history book should be written. Archer was selected to write the book at a staff meeting.

"The reason I was selected to do it was because I've been in the department longest and I know where many of the skeletons were hidden," said Archer.

One of the more interesting anecdotes comes from a section in the book about animals on campus.

Some time ago, according to Archer, a teacher was attacked by a rooster at the F-building. During this era, PalomarCollegealsoowned two cows.

I - "[Our presentation is] a little bit · like MTV because we have animation in there. It's not just talking heads. There's a few sequences that just have images that flash and move with music to introduce a concept," she said.

Miller says that concepts which once seemed very dull, such as units I or prerequisites, can be made more I entertaining within the settings of a I multimedia presentation. ''If I tried to explain to you what 1 I a unit is, you don't care," Miller j said ... But, if you saw a little seg! ment in the orientation presentai tion, it comes alive a little bit be: cause units are flashing and there's bright lights.

'Tmnotsureifthere'sanydeeper learning that goes on, but you pay attention, and you have to pay attention to learn something."

The equipment used to run the new presentation was paid for by Matriculation Department and cost ' approximately $10,000.

The design and production of the project was paid for by a foundation grant proposal submitted by Judy 1' Eberhart of the Counseling Department.

Last year, Palomar counselors presented over I 00 orientation proi grams to more than 6,000 students.

Esther Nesbin, one of Palomar College's early pioneers and founder of the school's library, died July 30 at the age of 84.

Memorial services took place Sept. 16 at the Qucsthaven Retreat in Escondido.

The news comes following the recent plans for computer automation of her once small library that has now become one of the largest in San Diego county.

Nesbin started the library in 1947 at Palomar's original Vista High School location with a collection of donated books, according to the college. Through the years she built up the library collection through book gifts and college support.

In 1950 the library moved onto the new Palomar campus. Nesbin worked steadily at improving the library system at Palomar until she retired in 1977.

"There was a pressing need for an academic library in North County. She met that need by reaching out to the community, organizations and individuals. I was astonished by how effective an ambassador for the college she was." said librarian Carolyn Wood.

Palomar upgrades its World-Wide Web page Francis T. Crowley Staff Writer Wetcon1P to the PitlnJn<lr

Palomar College's World-Wide Web home page will be back online soon, using a UNIX server and increasing its services to users of the Internet.

The World-Wide Web is a part of the Internet which features text and pictures that can be linked to cachother. Users can "browse" the web by clicking on special highlighted words (links.) By clicking, they arc then led to another web documcm which IS related to the word they clicked on.

Previously, the college was using a Mac TCP server which was limited to a relatively small number of "hits" (number of times someone has looked at the page) at any particular time. The new UNIX server has the capability to handle hundreds of hits at once.

According to Hopkins, Palomar's home

Palomar's current WWW home page. page has been getting 250 to 750 hits per day.

As the number of hits increases the new server will easily handle the numbers.

In addition to the information which has been available to readers since last semester when Palomar's home page first went online, users will have greater ability to search and

download documents on the new server, according to Mark Hopkins. computer technician for Information Systems Services .

Expansion of the information listed in the home page is being planned to include the entire college catalog and class registrationinformation, Hopkins said. Additionally, various departments on campus, including The Telescope, the Graphic Communications Department and the Library are considering beginning or increasmg their services on Palomar's home page.

The Telescope plans to be online soon, making the text of every issue available via Palomar's home page. Stories may be longer in the online edition of The Telescope since there is more space on the UNIX server than there is in the actual pages of the paper. Some photos which appear in the paper wi II also be available for viewing or downloading.

Chris Gleason, The Telescope's Online

Editor said, "For a commuter campus, online service is the way to go. You don't even have · to leave home to read the campus paper."

"Alumni will be able to keep in touch with Palomar after they have transferred to other schools." said Brian Wallace, editor-in-chief of The Telescope.

Neil Bruington of Graphic Communications, which has been listed on Palomar's home page since its inception, explained how the new server will help online browsers. ·'Information downloading will be much faster. Befqre, graphics took quite a bit of time."

When the library completes its system automation later this year, web browsers may be able to view catalog and book status, Hopkins explained.

Palomar's World- Wide Web server can be accessed by directing web browser software to: http://www.palomar.edu.

Does TV dictate our lifestyles~ • Yaungsters make decisions based an TV

·

• People have free will and choice

Liz Bennett

Jenni Kendall

Staff Writer

SwffWriter

People say they control their own minds, but they are in for a surprise. The media influences people's minds, and if the media is around you, it is going to shape you.

Young girls become anorexic as they try to make themselves look like models. Little boys watch comic-related cartoons and see the sexist stereotypical way women are portrayed.

When was the last time you saw a real woman with big breasts and a 20-inch waist leap from building to building dressed only in a mini-dress and spike heels?

People set their standards by what they see and hear.

Television is more thari entertainment, it is a powerful cultural experience that shapes the values and attitudes of the young and impressionable. The human mind is always taking in information and learning, and since the media is everywhere, people can not help but learn from it. Given the average amount of TV a youth watches weekly, close to40hours a week, it is obvious where the attitudes and smart mouths are coming from.

Children who watch "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turt-les" and "The Power Rangers". try to act like the characters. Aggression in chil- dren has increased since these violent shows have become popular.

In a nationwide poll by the child advocacy organization Childr(!_~ Now, 77 percent of kids between the ages of I 0 and 16 years of age said TV depicts too much premarital sex.

Sixty-two percent of youngsters said TV influences their peers to have sex before they are ready .

Sex on television has become an outrage.

A person cannot turn on the TV without seeing some form of sexual exploitation. Television glamorizes premarital sex as a "mature" thing everyone is doing. That's not true. and television seems to have missed the point.

Television has become an electronic baby sitter to some children during their most impressionable years. When their minds arc most susceptible, they arc being brainwashed.

What Kelly and Donna are wearing on ·'Beverly Hills, 9021 0" just happens to be the same clothes self-conscious girls "can'tlivc without."

Young girls feel self-conscious if they don ' t fit into the going TV trend . They feel fat if you can't see every rib. Television sets standards that arc unhealthy, both physically and mentally.

The media is simply a tool used to manipulate people 's thoughts, but everyone is capable of thinking for themselves.

If you can turn the television on, you can turn it off. To say people make their decisions based solely on the media's influence is ridicules. The media sways towards showing perfect people in situations most normal people never experience. This is what the general public wants-it's what sells.

Why do shows like "Melrose Place" have faithful followers?

Perhaps it's because the characters on these shows lead the lives most can only dream about. Unless you look like the beautiful characters in "Models Inc.," and have exciting lives like the cast of"Beverly Hills 9021 0," then you can only watch it on TV. Men and women don't have to automatically jump off the sofa and run down to Nordy's to invest in the new styles. People are perfectly able to make up their own minds about what to buy. No one forces them to stay in style. In fact, what defines a person's style isn't always what comes off the runways of Milan.

If an adolescent girl starves herself to look like Kelly Taylor of "9021 0," it isn't because the media tells her that is how she has to look, it's because she feels inadequate among her peers and is unhappy with herself. Kelly Taylor is just a character on a TV show, not someone to model one's self after.

People are trained as young children to either be comfortable with who they arc or to be self-conscious. Nothing can change a child's opinion of herself other than constant bombardment with their inadequacies by the people they trust.

The amount of sexual activity increases on TV as it becomes more and more acceptable.

Not only has illicit sex on TV become acceptable. it has become a viable source of entertainment for viewers.

It is the parents' responsibility to regulate what their children watch. The networks can't control who watches what, so they try to cater to the viewing tastes of everyone.

Parents ought to teach their chi ldrcn not to succumb to the pressures and stereotypes of the mass media. If children arc taught this early. they will not allow themselves to be swayed in the future .

Welcome to the land of the free thinkers.

Does TV have an influence on the way people act or the things they buy?

Children are exposed every day to images on television which portray violence, sex and the message that everyone should be thin and beautiful. Does this influence what they wear and the ' way they feel about themselves?

Thinking

Out Loud Kate Nelson

Just another gabfest Once again it has been proven that in America you can get a steady job without any special skills.

To be a daytime talk show host, all one needs is a pulse and name recognition with a small portion of the population . If you were on a popular TV show, or you know someone who was, you can have your own talk show.

If you ' re related to someone famous. then you're a shoo-in.

This season there arc no less than six new daytime talk shows on broadcast channels with seven totally clueless hosts. Together they will daringly probe the oft-covered topics of"My girlfriend thinks she's all that" and " My boyfriend slept with my best friend."

Let's review the dossiers of the new hosts, shall we?

Gabrielle Cartcris is probably most famous for being a 30-year-old portraying an 18-year-old on "90210." Carnie Wilson had mediocre success in the pop/drivel band Wilson Phillips. Her father is Beach Boys charter member Brian Wilson . Danny(!) Bonaducc played the incredibly annoying red-headed kid on the "The Partridge Family." and is probably most famous for his altercation with a transvestite.

Moving on, Tcmpestl Bledsoe played Vanessa on "The Cosby Show." George Hamilton is an actor who hasn'tdone a movie for so long that he is part of that elite Hollywo-od group whose members an!" famous for being famous ." (Hint: see Zsa Zsa Gabor.)

Hamilton ' s new. show is with his ex-wife, Alana Stewart. The last new entry to the world of daytime is Mark Walberg, who is not to be confused with the muscle-bound rapper/ underwear model.

What is the thing these hosts have in common? Their shows will all be exactly alike .

Talk shows are a modern-day freak show, where the guests are led across the stage so the audience can jeer and stare. The shows are much like a regularly scheduled car accident : disgusting, but at the same time, compelling to watch .

The talk show hosts argu« that they're just trying to help people. They want Bitsy and her abusive husband Tony to come on the show so he can see the error of his ways. They want to reunite birth mothers with the children they gave up for adoption long ago . They want to change the world.

Unfortunately. what starts out as a therapy ;-session with a studio audience often turns into a free-for-all slugfest, which includes chairs being thrown at hosts and various expleti ves uttered by incensed guests . The new shows this season will be no different.

Newspapers bow to pressure of a madman When 'The Washington Post" and "The New York Times" both made the dec ision to run the manifesto of the U nabomber they made a potentially fatal choice.

Freedom of the press has never been so threatened. When members of the press bow to the pressures of a madman , integrity is lost.

To take the word of this sick individual who claims he will stop his reign of terror if his rantings are printed is like belie ving a criminal who tells you he won't kill you if you do what he says . What will happen when he commits another crime?

The profile of a serial killer is of a person who needs allention , and will go to any lengths to get it. They almost always step up the violence of their crimes as they get

Not all -women want to be Barbie I was outraged by the column, "Hell on Wheels" in which Angela Logan claims that the "uproar over the swimsuit part of the Miss America Pageant" is due to women's jealousy and insecurity.

Who or what has created this tendem;y for women to be jealous and insecure? My answer is not men , but society in general.

The media constantly bombards us with images of "ideal beauty"-Barbie-lookalikcs, with "long blond hair. . .tall , thin physiques . .. and ample bustlincs." These images have long ingrained the belief that only these characteristics are beautiful.

Angela even demonstrates this by asking.

"Who wouldn ' t want to look like that'l" I understand that women " need to have more confidence in who they are on the inside. not how they look on the outside."

However, achieving this attitude can be extremely difficult in a soc-iety which persistently emphasized "ideal beauty."

Logan's column bashes only men Responding to Mrs. Logan's column in The Telescope Friday , Sept. 22. Do you believe that only male athletes have attained a " hero status?" I get the impression that you either believe women have never achieved this status or you believe that women who have received " hero status" can do no wro ng. You accuse these athletes of reaching " hero status only because they can- th row, catch. hit or run with a ball. " It is not possible some are seen as heroes

'Steal Big' hits, mtsses • Andy Garcia plays dueling twin brothers in Andrew Davis' sappy "Steal Big, Steal Little" •••••••••••

Film Review •••••••••••

c

Christine Figueroa Sll!ff Writer

Andrew Davis' "Steal Big, Steal Little" is a quaint little film touching on the concepts of loyalty, friends and family.

The film begins in a parade celebrating the summer solstice. Brilliant costumes, dances and Latin music arc the background for the proposed romantic comedy. which

scarcely takes place. In a flashback manner, the main character narrates the story explaining all the events that brought his family together.

Ruben Partida Martinez and his brother Robby Martin (Andy Garcia) are feuding because of an inheritance Robby took for granted.

Their adoptive mother changed her will (at the last moment) and named Ruben sole benefactor. Robby (the evil twin brother) is now forced to plot and conspire against his brother for complete control of the land so he can fulfill financial obligations.

After the boy's adoptive parents split , the two brothers become like night and day: the complete opposite of each other. Ruben is the good

brother who everyone loves. Like his mother, he is a kind, generous, loving and compassionate person whose only fault is not understanding the business end of his inheritance. He longs for his brother's love and tries to fill the void by including everyone he knows into his "family". Ruben 's desire is so great that he even offers half of the estate to his brother, only to be shot down. Robby (like his father) would prefer to steal it all rather than share any portion. Robby has no time for family, friends and even less for his own flesh and blood. The incompatibility of the twins is dramatically illustrated in a sequence where the two share a multitude of mirrors while speaking of their differences.

"Steal Big, Steal Little" examines the two opposite sides of people by choosing the twins as the two extremes. Davis' idea is clever, but not effective. The twins have nothing in common except the fight for property which represents their opposing dreams. To Robby the ranch is the fulfillment of his father's dream to cr~ate something extremely profitable. To Ruben. the ranch is the fulfillment of his mother's dream to share the property with the people who work in the fields and to provide them a safe and secure home.

Garcia was delightfully funny, as was his portrayal of the two

Lou Perilli (Arkin) is the balance of the twins: he is a retired police officer (good) with a price on his head (evil) trying to break free from his shady past.

Shot in Santa Barbara, the landscape provides both the setting and the mood for the film. The landscape shots are emphasized again

and again to the point of becoming pretentious. The monotony is broken (on occasion) by clever vignettes including one 'Steal Big, Steal Little" is a feel good film.

Film Review

B-

••••••••••• Christine Figueroa Staff Writer

When you come out of the theater after seeing "Seven," you know the filmmaker has hit some buttons.

The film encapsulates the criminal career of a man who is fed up with the world's acceptance of sin. and exaggerates each of the seven to make his point: gluttony, greed, lust, sloth. pride. envy and wrath. Although the movie was enthralling with its music and visual reality (much like a fast-paced video) the uninteresting cardboard characters failed to emotionally engage viewers into their personalities and psyche.

Set in New York, Somerset(Morgan Freeman) plays the father figure on his way out of the chaotic world of the police. He lives alone surrounded by his only companions: books. Somerset is the source of all knowledge throughout the film and is the glue which holds the police station together. Somerset commands the position of wise man within its hierarchy.

Somerset also represents the negative traits related to the aged.

He is bored from the monotony, unsolved crimes and life in general.

He can't stand the sound of the hectic city and sleeps to the sound of a metronome to drown out life.

Everything about this character oozes of old. If it wcren 't for his counterpart's pestering, it would be easy to forget he is alive. But it is with his patience and book savvy that they trail behind each crime fully aware of its implications.

Mills (Brad Pitt) is Somerset's partner and --of course- his com-

plete opposite. He is the young, energetic, eager beaver detective striving for peer acceptance. Mills requested this beat and anxiously greets his first assignment. even though he plays second tiddlc to his partner. Mills is impatient. arduous and quick to judge. He has no time to do things the long way and misses the relevant details in the process.

Mills is also too convenient for this film. The character wants to learn but fights with his teacher. A balance of the two never is achieved, and his inability to master even the

simplest of lessons inevitably causes his downfall.

One of the film's underlying themes is apathy and the filmmaker expands upon it in a variety of ways.

First, the crimes have to be magnified to be noticed. Second, the film is virtually colorless with the exception of bright reds or blues emphasizing climactic moments. And third, the weather consists mostly of rain and darkness, while the sun is present only at the end of the film.

Where the characters falter, the director, David Fincher ("Alien 3"

director), keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Predictability is not an issue. the audience is fully informed on what (for the most part) will take place. The entertainment lies in the way the viewer is taken to each scene and action.

In the chase scene, the music, camera and characters all work at the same erratic pace. The scenes themselves are dark and parallel with the subject matter and victims.

The film is somber to the very end and makes no apologies. As well as it was filmed, it shouldn't.

Welcome ·to Dave's World • Student activist David Rockwell questions Palomar's authority and accuses school of not doing its job Steven Zivanic Fe(IIUre Editor

Has the burden of school policies got you in an uproar? Do you feel that certain rules need to be changed a Iittle-to make your stay here at Palomar a little easier? Tired of that teacher who constantly humiliates you? Talk to David Rockwell.

He's a self-proclaimed student activist who has successfully changed five school policies over the past two years, in an attempt to "bring Palomar College into the '90s." While his previous five accomplishments pertained to student privacy issues, Rockwell currently has three "school fiduciary responsibility" issues in the works. ·· "I do what I do because I feel it's right.

Some of the policies which Palomar has are really outdated and in need of immediate reform Their policies are not evolving with society. If Palomar was doing their job, I wouldn't have to," Rockwell said.

A law major at Palomar, Rockwell's tirst venture mto the world of Palomar policies stemmed from the anger he developed upon noticing social security numbers printed on the front of Palomar tdenti tication cards during the spring '94 semester. Rockwell said the problem was that students' privacy was being infringed upon because of the visible social security numbers, which in the wrong hands could spell trouble.

"If someone has your social security number and they know how to use it, they can find out a tremendous amount of information.

They can have access to everything that you use your social security number for-but what don't you use it for?" Rockwell said.

He added that when students use the easyaccess system in various computer labs at Palomar, they must succumb to watching their social security numbers appear on computer screens, enabling any student behind them to obtain very private information.

"Your entire personal portfolio revolves around your social security number-that'~ why I put an end to it," Rockwell said.

Social security numbers were removed from newly issued PIC cards during the '94 spring semester and Palomar offers students new cards for $3 with no social security tmber printed on the front. Social security numbers are still retained on the magnetic strips on the back of PIC cards. Rockwell added that starting Oct. I0 the easy access system will no longer echo back your social security number on school computer screens.

Moving away from social security numbers and onto another school policy which Rockwell finds disturbing,thc mandatory signature requirement needed for students to drop a class-a policy which he calls "childish." Rockwell has presented his argument against the signature requirement to both the Faculty Senate and the Governing Board, tn an attempt to eliminate the policy for good.

"I was taking a class that I wanted to drop and it was after the four week deadline period.

It really irritated me that I had to go to an instructor and ask for permission to drop their class-and they had the ultimate decision whether I had a good enough reason or not.

Well, I'm 40-years-old and I don't need anybody making up my mind.

"The signature requirement is immoral and Palomar is way out of bounds. How dare they act like my parents? I pay to go here so they don't have the right to tell me when and

if I can drop a class. I will make that decision!" Rockwell said.

Agreeing with Rockwell on this particular issue, Phil Baum, coordinator/counselor at TRIO Student Support Services, says he thinks the eradication of the signature requirement is an idea worth exploring.

"I think we're dealing with a more mature student-an older student-a paying customer. Ifthey decide it's in their best interest not to continue in the course, then it's their prerogative to drop that class without penalty," said Baum ''However, I do think that the students should confer with their instructor prior to doing that. It would be wise for the student to talk with the instructor to see if they can work something out. They may drop their class prematurely when there might be some way to keep them in the course.

Baum added, ''Giving an instructor authority to say 'yea' or 'nay' to a student's desire to drop doesn't seem reasonable. Some of the attitudes are carried over from high school where students and teachers have a relationship which is sometimes characterized by teachers acting as parents. That attitude sometimes seeps into the community college system and may not be appropriate here because students are more mature."

According to Dr. George Boggs. superintendent/president. the ignature requirement ts considered to be an academ tc and professional matter, which means the faculty is involved in any decision made pertaining to immediate changes. Boggs says that the intent of the policy was for the faculty to know when students were dropping so that they might be able to help them, depending on the situation. He added that the Faculty Senate is "sunshin ing" the issue and they may vote to agree with Rockwell or may disagree.

Rockwell says he has met with Boggs several times, in an attempt to "make Palomar realize its responsibility towards its students' education." Rockwell says that one of the more important issues brought up during the various meetings between the two was the questioning of Palomar's procedure in hiring adjunct instructors.

He claims some adjunct instructors just aren't very good instructors-an opinion he relates to his personal experience. He says that fortunately the percentage of "unqualified" adjunct instructors is small, but he claims that it only takes one instructor to affect as much as 200 students over the course of a semester or two. According to Rockwell. thts means the students· ttmc is wasted . the1r money is wasted and so IS the administration· s time and money for having to handle complaints that "would not be there if they were a little more careful."

Ro<:kwell says that adjunct instru<:tors should give a I 0-15 minute tea<:hing demonstration to prove their ability to communicate information to students effectively. Rockwell says students don't have the availability of an adjun<:t instructor like they do a full time instructor. '·My act1ons are not going to fix 100 percent of the problem. However, if it'll just fix

even a handful of the instructors-make some of them better by performing this demonstration-both the school and the students will win," Rockwell said.

While Boggs and Rockwell may agree on certain issues, Boggs finds Rockwell's "demonstration policy" invalid.

"The Faculty Senate does not agree with him on that issue. They think departments need the flexibility to interview their part-timers the way they sec fit. For every adjunct instructor to go through a teaching demonstration is nice in principle, but we have 800 of these adjunct faculty members-so it wouldn't be practical,"said Boggs. ''We're not necessarily looking for someone who is a great lecturer, we're looking for someone who can work with students. I don't think there's any evidence to indicate David's claims.

Our adjunct faculty are all very good and I have confidence 1n their abilities. All of the studies that I've seen on anational level indi- David Rockwell cate that the qualStudent Activist ity of the adjunct instructors is as good as any fulltime instructors' quality,'' Boggs said.

Laura Crouch, an adjunct instructor in the Art Department finds herself in agreement with Ro<:kwell. "I don't find a problem with havmga 10-15 minute demonstration if that's what they want to require of me. If that helps prove my capabilities, I'm all for it. I don't really feel I need to prove it to them, but I don't mind. I thir1k he has a right-! think every student has a right to question authont; and espec1ally how thmg!> arc run."

During last weeks' Fa<:ulty Senate meet-

"I'm not afraid of Palomar .College. .. These people, quite honestly, are amateurs."

ing, Rockwell's "adj un<:t review" was rejected.

However, Rockwell says he plans to present another installment of his ''adjunct" argument during the next Governing Board meetingand hopes to get results.

Feeling very strongly about h1s beliefs regarding various poli<:y changes. Rockwell claims he is legally prepared to do battle with Palomar.

"I am not afraid of Palomar College. I <:an back up everything I say. I have all of the proof already-I'm ready to go. I used to work in the music industry. If you really want to learn how to play hardball and you want to work with some people who <:an really give you a hard time, then that's who you want to work with.

These people at Palomar, quite honestly, are amateurs. They throw up walls-they think I can't break through. If they wanna g1ve me any trouble, I'm more than willing to step up to the plate. And I wtll take them on-no problem," Ro<:kwell said.

In response Boggs said, "He shouldn't be afraid of Palomar. I think David is saying that we're legal amateurs compared to him bc<:ause he's taken some law classes-and he's taken them here. I think Palomar has wonderful people and faculty members who know what they're doing and they do care about students, so I don't know why he would say we're amateurs.

We don't throw up walls and we do address things that count."

Rockwell added, "When I was growing up my parents taught me to stand up for myself and to help others whenev<:r possible. Living with this philosophy, I've realized I <:an make a change-and if I can make a change so <:an anyone else who wants to."

Counselor Baum provided an insight on how he views Rockwell's personality· "David is a self-elected gadfly. Sonates was a gadtly-a gadfly on the body polit1<:. For which the state condemned him to death-he was asked to drink hemlock. Gadflies and hcmiock go together in the public consciOusness. That's a role that David has decided to play."
