New education center planned
Palomar reacts to the Simpson verdict
Seanna Lee Staff Writer
Brian Wallace/ The Ttlescope
Students watching television in R·19A react with smiles, cheers and applause upon hearing the not guilty verdict delivered by the jury in the O.J. Slmpson murder case last Tuesday.
After using spare high school classrooms for 20 years, students in the southern part of the Palomar College District might soon have their own campus. According to President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs, Palomar is currently taking steps to purchase a site for a new education center in Poway, accommodating 6.000 students. Though a detinite time frame for the campus opening has not been set, Boggs said the Poway site should be operational within the next ten years. The news comes nearly five years after the Redevelopment District of Poway originally appropriated $5.2 million for the college in 1991. Currently, Palomar is looking at a site on Pomerado Road adjacent to St. Michael's Catholic Church. The new campus would be similar to the Escondido Education Center. According to Boggs. ;m expans1on like this is inevitable for Palomar because the San Marcos main campus is near capacity. The best options for growth are satellite centers and Educational Television, Boggs said. "It might be possible to have about 40,000 students by the year2005, but we can't have them all getting on the road to get to Palomar College in San Marcos," said Dr. Boggs. Currently about 3,000students attend night-only classes at Poway and Mt. Carmel High Schools' extension campuses. A new education center would allow Palomar to offer day classes and serve about 6,000 students. Poway was picked as the best area for an Education Center because of the large number of potential students and their

Facilities Manager, a cable in one of the manholes blew, killing power to the campus. When Rick Beach. Facilities Electrician, found the campus powerless at 5 a.m .. the maintenance crew discovered the ··B circuit." one of three main campus power lines, had blown. Ryan explained. "The age of our infrastructure is the cause for this failure . Stress, age and water just causes wear on these things ," Ryan said. According to Ryan , the electrical infrastructure dates to the 1950s. Palomar's radio station. KKSM. was shut down along with the library and several buildings throughout campus. Repairs wcrcn 't made until 5 p.m. As a result, some buildings closed for the remainder of the day . Judi Stafford. associate professor of English, was one instructor affected by the outage. Taking students' advice, she taught through the darkness. "The biggest problem was the heat," said Stafford. 'The students adj usted very well and we JUSt went right on in the dark.''

Cafeteria mes gets resolved Jenni Kendall St{{ff Wrtter
Following complaints about cleanliness and threats to call the County Health Supervisor. an agreement has been reached mandating a more comprehensive cleaning schedule for Palomar's Student Union. Breaking from a two week argument over department responsibility. the food service and custodial departments have decided to split the duties of cleaning. The decision to share the responsibility came after discussions between both departments. Their objective is to have the Student Union looking the same or better than when the morning students come in. "Everyone is trying to work together. After all, somebody has to do it,'' said Cindy Shand, Food Service supervisor. The agreement saves the Associated Student Government from creating a new paid Federal Work Study position dedicated to Student Union cleaning in the afternoon. The new position, which would be paid at $5 an hour. would have someone bussing tables, sweepmg floors. emptying trash cans and cleaning them icrowavc throughout the afternoon. This cleaning would follow the presently existing morning cleaning . With the new agreement. the ASG tabled their resolution O~:t. 3. Already. some of the new cleaning procedures are

Colorado University Greeks ban beer on campus BOULDER. Colo.-Although no one's .1een sneaking off wit h the suds, there's a ·;hortage of beer on the University ofColo·ado campus. The governing bodies of CU's 26 fra:ernities and sororities voted to ban alcohol from all functions held in chapter 'lOuses and to promote a "zero tolerance" policy agai nst unde rage drinking by members. "We voted for what's best about Greek !ife and voted against negative stcrco·ypes," says Brian Phi llips, pres ide nt of C U's Interfratern ity Co unci l and a member of Alpha Tau Omega. ''It was time to bi te the bullet. " Ph illips says that the idea for the ban <.~arn e from within the 26 chapters in CU 's G reek system after a tumultuous summer.
Since May. more than 500 students have been arrested for underage dri nki ng violations in fra ternity houses and local bars. The new policy, whic h was approved by a vote of 2 1-2 wit h three abste ntions. prohibi ts fraterni ti es and sorori ties fro m servi ng alco hol on their property. If the organizations want to th row a party, they can do so off campus. Ph i Kappa Tau Pres ident Joe Love says the change signals a new era for his fraternity. "We've had our property threatened wi th sei zure and our members threatened w ith jail time, not to me ntion the damage done to o ur house," Love says. " It· s not worth the trouble an ymore ... The Greek beer ban was the second blow to drinkers on the Colorado campus. which has enjoyed con sistent rankings in
Playboy's list of top party schoo ls. Earlier this fall. the athletic depa rtment dec ided to stop the sale of beer in the stands at Buffa lo football games at Folsom Fie ld. Alt hough students who are of age still can make a trek to the concession stands fo r a cold o ne. they will he limi ted to a purchase of one beer at a time.

The Performing Arts Department ' s Concert Hour moved with the rhythm and sounds of the West African country of Ghana during a performance by the Cal State San Marcos African Ensemble Sept. 28 . Nearly 200 students and staff attended the c oncert/lecture 1n Palomar's room D-10. The event was led by Dr. Willie Anku , a visiting professor at CSUSM and UCSD from the University of Ghana. He has been directing the CSU San Marcos African Ensemble since early 1994. Aceordingtotheschool, the event was one of Palomar's most attended daytime events . Word of mouth was the key to the Concert Hour's success, according to Beth Ritter, an associate an professor. ''It' s nice to see cultural events on campus. It adds to the students' learning experience," Ritter said. The ensemble performed various Ghanan recreational a nd ceremonial pieces from three ethnic and regio nal backg rounds: Dagomba of the Northern Savannah region, Akan of the central rain forest and Ewe of the South East. The CSUSM African Ensemble is compnsed of students enrolled in the African music and dance classes. Many of its members are alumni of Palomar. including Robert Jenkins,

Boehm Gallery displays I permanent collection I
Correction
~\ t--"'
In conjunction with Palomar College's 50th anniversary, the Boehm Gallery will display a selection of artwork from the college's permanent collection. The exhibition. "Highlights from the Permanent Collection.'' opened Sept. 28 with a reception from 68 p.m. The exhibition continues through Oct. 25. Prior to the opening of the gallery , there was a special harpsichord concert in the gallery by Dr. Ste ven Gray. instructor in the Performing Arts Department. Gray performed selection~ from Bach , Scarlatlle, Rameau, Handel , and Frcscobaldi. Immediately following the concert there was a reception with free refreshments outside the gallery. Gallery Director Trang Nguyen has selected paintings from some of the finest artists to ever display their works in the Boehm Gallery. which include John Baldessari, Wayne Thiebaud , Masami Teraoka and Kathi Kollwitz, among others. According to Nguyen, each art piece in the gallery's is worth thousands of dollars. The works include paintings and sculptures from several different artistic eras. Contrary to some beliefs, Nguyen said the collection is not a compilation of student works and is one that would fascinate any art lover. Some of the featured artists are nationally renowned, said Nguyen. One of them is Southern California artist John Baldessari. According to Nguyen, Baldessari emerged as a master of the conceptual genre called "Story Art," combining words and images into documentary pictures . Also featured at the Gallery is Max Ernst. one of man)' artiSts to rebel during the mass killing of World War I. Among his art featured is work from a protest movement he launched called "Dadaism." Featured artist Kathi Kollwitz is a German-born artist from the 19th Century . Much of her work was devoted to anti-war and other social problems. Examples of her work are in nearly all of the great museum collections of the world, said Nguyen .
Madeline Pereny's "Diners Under the Tree" is pari of the Boehm Gallery's permanent collection. Wayne Thiebaud, known for his "Pop Art'' in the post World War II years. will also be exhibited. He is best known for his focus on drug-store iconography and abstract shape rendering. The Gallery will also exhibit some of Leonard Baskin's works. This notable U.S. printmaker and sculptor designed universal symbols and biblical figures in bronze, limestone and wood. Several Giovanni Battista Piranesi prints depicting the buildings of Rome will also be exhibited. Regular gallery hours are: Tuesdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesdays and Thursdays. 10 a.m. to 7 p.m .; and Fridays and Saturdays, 10a.m.to2 p.m. Admission is free.

relative remoteness from Palomar' s main campus. Support for the new campus has been mixed . Though Palomar is currently receiving support from the Poway city council. Boggs said the college fought hard to get it. ··several years ago we didn't have this kind of support." said Boggs. "The city council was not very weicoming in Poway and essentially they wanted us to take the money and go elsewhere ... Currently. opposition is still coming from the Green Valley Civic Association , which represents families in North Poway. Jerry Hargartcn. president of GVCA. would like to sec an education center in the Poway area, but not at the Pomerado site. Hargarten said because the site is so near the Pomerado hospital and retirement centers and because there is only one way to access the location from Pomerado Road, a detailed traftic report should be issued before moving forward.
"We support a Palomar campus in the Poway area. There is a site in the south Poway area that would be convenient because a new library is being built on Poway Road." said Hargarten. The South Poway Industrial Park site that Hargarten recommends, however. is within I 0 miles of Mira Mesa College, wh1ch 1s agamst a state requirement for education centers. "The college still might go somewhere else," said Boggs. ''We're not locked into the [Pomerado] site. We just need to be in the southern part of the district." Palomar has already received approval from the state to build the education center, no matter the location. But plans must still be approved by the California Post-Secondary Education Commission. Approval for the site of the Escondido Education Center took about a year. An approval process for the Poway site will likely take the same time, according to Boggs.

' Despite recent efforts, howeV~I'. some students still feel that the dling area has not shown improv"kment in its cleanliness. "I came here the other night and it looked like they had wiped off everything on the tables onto the tloor." said ASG Senator John Coffin. According to the custodial department, another of the proposed solutions to improve cleanliness was to have community service workers clean the Student Union . The workers. who are also used to clean freeways and parks, would report to the maintenance department and clean the cafeteria for their community service requirements . The proposal is still under consideration for the future. The ASG also has plans to install screens on the slot windows and fans above the doors to keep tlies out.

OPINION Does America need a change~ • Our country needs fresh leadership Brian Wallace Editor-in-Chief
America needs a third major political party, and America needs it now . For years we have been led to believe that we have but two choices when it comes to selecting our most important leaders. Every four years it comes down to picking the lesser of two evils. For some unknown reason that only the authors of political science textbooks can fully grasp, if the country had elected Ross Perot in 1992, the delicate balance of the American political environment would be upset and the earth would have begun to rotate crookedly on its axis until it was ultimately destroyed. Many pundits claimed, in columns and on television, someone who isn't a politician and who is neither a Democrat or a Republican isn't fit for high office. Well, that's crap. It is absurd to continue with politics as usual. Politicians from both parties have shown us they are incapable of change, and have given the public cause to question their reasons for being in office. Fat-cat Members of Congress rub each others' backs and suck up to lobbyists so they can slowly but steadily rise up the congressional ladder to higher and higher committee appointments. What we end up with is a bunch of old, out-of-touch career politicians who spend years dawdling in the legislature. Our president, wary about stepping on any toes, is afraid to speak his mind or make a decision for fear of a backlash in his party . The same thing surfaced recently in the legislature when a memo from Newt Gingrich leaked out. It threatened to demote certain people and deny advancement to others unless they supported the balanced budget bill. Both parties are so old and entrenched in the halls of our various political institutions that they have lost sight of why they are there. These two parties have a lock on just about every elected office in our nation, and yet nobody bothers to question why. It's time for a new party--one that hasn't been sitting in office forever (>.OIIecting our t<\Xes in one pocket and lobbyist money in the other. We need a party that can come into office with no ties to anyone. A new party wi II be able to get things done. ' Once this third party sets in and the cancer of political stagnation sets in , it'll be time for a fourth party . Freedom of choice-it's the American way.
Do you think a third party candidate can win the 1996 presidential election?
Ret 0i2-t1' . 7=A1-T~
Because many Americans are fed up with the way our government is being run, Ross Perot has formed another political party. Is there room for another major party in this country?

Ross Perot is at it again. He failed in a bid for the presidency, so he found a new way to upset the American political system . If Perot has his way, we will soon be a three-party nation. The problem with Perot's agenda lies not in the creation of another partywe already have several minor parties-but in the organization and purposes of this Refom1 Party (known as the Independence Party outside California). The party aims to provide a haven for dissatisfied voters who don't feel represented by either the Democrats or Republicans. The Reform Party's platform includes such pressing issues as: elimination of the Electoral College. campaign finance reform, lobbying and gift reform, according to USA Today . Arc these issues really so important that another party is needed to address them? Voters looking to register with the Reform Party should keep in mind that it is the brainchild of Perot. whose track record in politics is sporadic, at best. His on-again. offagain 1992 campaign kept voters in limbo. The only reason Perot came away with nearly one-fifth of the popular vote in 1992 was voter frustration. Supposedly, he has no interest in running in this election . He claims he would only enter the race as a Reform candidate if another viable candidate cannot be found . Right. Where is he going to find a candidate who can attract enough support to stand a chance against Clinton or Dole? Colin Powell's candidacy is uncertain; if he docs run, it will probably be as a Republican. So. what is Perot's real motivation? We know he revels in the limelight; we know he has an enormous ego; we know he has enough money to influence the election . Perot doesn 'I really care about reforming the system. His motivation is not a factor in this election. What is a factor is that he is trying to change a two-party system that has been in place for over a century. The system does work . If it didn't, our government would have collapsed a long time ago. No matter how perfect a candidate may seem, once he takes office he is open to criticism . The fate of the entire country seems to be controlled by whoever occupies the White House. Creation of a third party is not necessary to put a non-Republican or nonDemocrat in the White House.

On My Mind Carla Mavs .!
Colin Powell is a breath of fresh air As we reach the 1996 presidential election. Americans arc looking to make changes once again. Retired General Colin Powell's popularity is not surprising in our current political climate. In the past 15 years we have had two Republicans and one Democrat in the White House, one change in 40 years in the Senate and the House of Representatives, with the Democrats getting the boot in 1994. and the Republicans taking over. Things aren't going to be any different with Bob Dole or Phi l Gramm as president. Their time has come and gone. Time has come for a breath of fresh air. Colin Powell t!> that fresh air. The "American Dream" is alive and well in the United States with Powell. His mottos are simple: "Work hard. and America will reward you," and "Find strength in yourself." Race is not the determining factor in your success. Powell says: "Let race be someone else's problem." These are inspiring words to me as a black woman. In the past 25 years or more the black community has been without a leader. Jesse Jackson a.k.a. "Do anything for a dollar," Louis Farrakhan a.k.a. ''Black Clan/Cult leader," Clarence Thomas a.k.a. "Uncle Tom," and AI Sharpton a.k.a. "Hell Raiser," have been charlatans and extortionists. They are poor examples of leaders, and have only aided in dividing the American people. Powell wants to unite us all, and is not a "sellout." He believes in reforming affirmative action and welfare. Powell also realizes the key to citizens getting work is education. This is exactly what tillS country needs. The Democrats over the last 40 years have handled social problems by spending and creating more bureaucracy, which has shown not to be beneficial. Conservative Republicans think by placing a "contract" out on social programs, people will go out and get middle-class wages with no fom1al education or career training. As for Powell's political aftiliations, he is a moderate Republican. If he runs for president, he will probably run on the Republican ticket. He describes himself as "a fiscal conservative with a social conscience." Powell has given us 35 years of military service, and shown that he can deal with foreign policy and domestic issues. As Chainnan of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he led our country with pride and stern leadership. He is a man who will lead America into the 21st century.

Juveniles should face consequences of actions The relatively quiet city of Escondido was shocked and saddened when Betty Carroll was brutally murdered two weeks ago. But the town was even more shocked when the suspects were revealed. Eric Shimabukuro, 18, Jerrad Viktor, 16 and Danielle Barcheers. 15, are accused of stabbing Carroll more than I0 times. Viktor is the grandson of Carroll's ex-husband. The police department's contention is that Viktor and Barchecrs went to Carroll ' s door and asked to usc the phone. Carroll recognized Viktor and let him in. Then. according to the police. Viktorand Barchccrs robbed Carroll and then killed her, as Shimabukuro was outside acting as a lookout. Viktor and Barcheers allegedly took Carroll's car, dropped off Shimabukuro at
his house and then went to Taco Bell. An Escondido police officer, who used to live next to Carroll, recognized her car and chased the suspects for about three blocks until the car crashed through the front window of a bank. When the three were charged, the TimesAdvocate printed the minors' names and published pictures of them. The San Diego Union- Tribune referred to the suspects by only their ages. Usually when minors arc accused of a crime. their names are not published. The hope is that a minor charged with a misdemeanor or lesser crime can be rehabilitated. Printing his name would only ruin the suspect's reputation for what might have been an adolescent prank. But murder is not some adolescent prank. Adlllts accused of murder have their names
Vize needs to The Telescope repent for rhetoric should do more Is it just my imagination, or has Mr. JciT Vizc joined the anti-Catholic bandwagon? I can understand Mr. Vizc's reluctance to even try to understand why the Catholic Church's hierarchy does what it does, but I think that it is the height of hypocrisy to say that religious leaders dictate everything whilst, and at the same time, dictating to religious leaders how they should conduct their affairs. If Mr. Vize wants to dictate his own Index of Forbidden Books, then he ought to have thought about becoming some kind of "leader" in his own right. Trying to dictate policies to leaders one wishes to depose is extreme prcst_tmptuousness. John F. Tashjian

Who's clowning around over $250? It would have cost more to run a quarter page ad in The Telescope than it cost for an entire day of clowning. Why doesn't The Telescope run public service announcements two or three issues leading up to an election. and one advertising the election in general? The answer has two parts: a) the ASG only gives The Telescope $5.000, and b) The Telescope prefers to run national ads at a loss just to add credibility to their issues for competition reasons. I am too proud that The Telescope is at Palomar, but I get sick to see them waste two or more pages criticizing something they could have prevented by using the same common sense they claim other students lack.

ENTERTAINMENT 'Glow Skulls' style of ska-punk is voodoo • Mr. Brett's new ska darlings unleash their hardcore wrath for mass consumption
Brad Rubin Entertainment Ediwr
Whether you call it skacore, skapunk or Oingo Boingo on acid. the Voodoo Glow Skulls play the closest thing to innovative hardcore around. Out in stores this Tuesday is the Glow Skulls second release and Epitaph debut "Firme,'' 16tracks of frenetic ska-punk fury infectious enough for your grandmother and all of her fnends. Hailing from the pit of River-
side, the Glow Skulls trend-setting, almost visionary blend of punk strings and a rabid horn section unite musically as poetic aggro noise. ''Firme" carries on the sound the band honed on their last record. "Who this. This !c.,'' the frenzied brass, Frank Casillas' whacked out mantra vocals, and the heavy guitars but, with the new effort comes a more streamlined and focused album. While straight-forward punk is not an applicable labei"Firme" goes down the more linear path; the the horn and string sections have a stronger sense of chemistry and direction then the first cd . One similarity is the sampling of CheechandChong's"UplnSmoke" to start the record off right from the mouth of Stacy Keach's DEA agent character. And "Shoot the Moon'' the band does with a sharp lesson in the way to play cool aggressive music. The opening track in indicative of the
way the band goes about assembling a song. "Shoot the Moon'' takes off like a bullet then does some changing up as the rhythm slows down for a few seconds, then the song takes off and slows down again. Drinking and hardcore fit so neatly sometimes and the band delves into the bottle on "Trouble Walking,'' ''Empty Bottles." and "Drunk Tank'' not to mention a few other songs as well. "Then the keg runs dry, the beer was free/ Five minutes later there's an immediate reaction/ There's no alcohol so we must leave," is the sad conclusiOn on skanker "Empty Bottles." And what Voodoo Glow Skulls record would not be complete without a few rips such as ''Fat Randl where Casillas summarizes, ''He's · big, fat, ugly, and mean." I know punkers at the shows are alarmed at that certain rather lame
CRAshiNG Th£ DANCE HAll • Dance Hall Crasher's Karina Denike says a few words Brad Rubin
Champions of social-conscience causes and adoJ·e scent rage, Dance Hall Crashers are not. The band is planning on going to Hawaii soon, where they are just huge, but vocalist Karina Denike, battling a not-so-swell cold. talks In-depth, at great lengths. about a variety of issues critical to the indie music community.
• ••••••••
Was changing the lyrics for "Enough" compromising values? We changed the lyrics a little hit, but it wasn't a record exec thing. We just thought [a certain slang word] was used too much. On stage we sing it the original way, big brother had nothing to do with it.
Film Review
The SOMA show, being a sideshow stage rather than a main evellf, is that cool? I like playing side-shows. It's more intimate, you don't feel the barriers of bouncers and security. I can see the faces of everyone in the crowd. How did the current Dance Hall Crashers line-up evolve from being a Operation Ivy side project? Basically finding friends to play with. Lint Armstrong (Rancid singer-guitarist) wrote material under Dance Hall Crashers but never played a gig .. Jason can be called a founding member, but Idon'tknow if Jason actually played with Lint. Elyse [Denike, vocals] and me have been in the band for 6 years, Gavin [Hammon, drums] has been a member for 3 year, Scott [Goodell, guitar], and Mikey [Weiss, bass] have been in the band for 2 years. I didn't know Dance Hall Crashers had horns, why did the band drop them? We had 3 horns, 2 guitarists, and
Is "Queenfora Day" a real-life account of the band nmning in with creepy record executives? The song is kind of a joke towards what he music industry is all about. It's really hard to trust people. The industry is a big game and everyone is playing the game to get what they want. 2 singers and we felt that was a little too much. Having 2 singers. horns weren't not necessary for harmonizing. We just ended up changing our sound, it was a natural progression.
What are the advantages to having 2 lead vocals? Singing together, trading off verses, hitting different harmonies, there's so much to do. We've got the giggles on stage and we [screw] around with it. One time my microphone chord was wrapped around my foot and Elyse yanked it, sending me flying through the air and I tried making a dance out of it. How did you feel when you first heard "Enough" (current single played way too much on 9JX and KROQ) on the radio? I looked deep in my inner-child ... It was cool, kind of weird. scary,
How does the band stay entertained on the road? Mostly food fights, lotion fights, fights with gooey. sticky stuff. After [Board In Orange County] we got in a huge food fight throwing mayonnaise and beans. totally embarrassing ourselves in front of the other bands. What goals. if any. does Dance Hall Crashers have as a band Basketweaving. Wewanttohave a good time with people digging it for the right reasons. We would like to challenge ourselves but were not gomg to play free-form jazz. When does Dance Hall Crashers stop being fim anymore? When I'm so annoyed with the music industry. When I'm bored and its not enjoyable it' II be time to move on.
but try not to listen to the rhythmic patterns or you might be apt to discover very similar chord changes m more than one song that can grow rather stale. As for the positive side. Voodoo Glow Skulls spit out a kind of schizophrenic noise sure to be sampled eternally in ska-punk heaven. And you can dance to it too.

To be perfectly frank, the AntonioBanderasshoot-'em-up movie I like the best is "Desperado." ''Assassins," the latest offering by Sylvester Stallone and director Richard Donner (of"Lethal Weapon'' fame), comes in a distant second- out of the two films. Stallone stars as Robert Rath, an aging private assassin, and, naturally, the best at the profession. He's been hired by an unknown source to put a ''mark" on a mysterious woman known only as "Electra" (Julianne Moore) - i.e. put a bullet in her- for the sum of $2 million. Rath, though, has a nemesis. Banderas plays Miguel Bain, another private assassin, who has been both swiping Rath's hits and trying to kill Rath. Bain, it seems, can't stand that Rath is the best at putting marks on people, and tries to take him out, thereby situating himself as the Killer King. Electra, though, is apparently too cute for Rath to shoot, and he spares her, and spends the rest of the movie trying to save both their lives from the sights ofBain.
That's it. It took Donner two hours to do what could have been done in an hour cable show . Stallone shoots at target. Banderas shoots at Stallone. Stallone protects Moore. It's formula, pure and simple. Don't expect anything more than lots of guns. Not that the guns provided that much excitement. Private assassins use silenced weapons. It's just hard to get into a movie about gunplay when the guns go pfft. pfft instead of BANG, BANG! The only explosions are a fireplace and a dumpster. However, the movie is not all bad. Unlike most action movies, it's not overly-laden with snappy one-liners by the protagonist whenever someone dies. (Arnold Schwartzenegger should take note of that.) Also, watching Rath work out his next hit in his head is really pretty cool. He's able to pick out just what his opponent will be doing next. And, it's filmed largely in Seattle, which is my second-favorite city. That may have kept this movie· s rating in the "C'' range. All told, it's not a BAD movie, but it really tries hard. Predictability is really the biggest flaw in this movie, as opposed to "Pulp Fiction," a hit-man movie where the audience had no idea what would happen next. The predictability kills the suspense that is so integral to a good action movie.

Chris Gleason One last gripe about THE trial of the century I' m sure that, by now. you're sick of hearing other people's takes on the Simpson decision. but, dammit , I HAVE A FORUM 1 WAHAHAHAHAHA! I! II I know it ' s been awhile since it happened. but I just have to vent. I mean, think about it. People spent all summer wondering how it would turn out. Vegas had oddsboards o f the possible outcomes. TV specials. pundits and even celebrities predicting the outcome minutes before all was revealed- it was one of the biggest media circuses ever seen m this country! It took the airwaves by storm like nothing I had ever seen before- and I've watched a LOT of television. When a high-profile case like this comes to the public's attention, it's almost bizarre how people react to the situation. "No, -he couldn't have done it," people said. "It's too obvious 1 It must have been someone else." That man walked right out of his jail cell, despite a mountain of evidence. l, however. never thought he did it. . . and. I was RIGHT! Everyone around me kept telling me about how no one else could possibly have done it, that he was the only one who really had motive. that nine times out of ten, the most obvious suspect is the correct one. Need they be reminded that everything surrounding this case has bceh unorthodox. It was just a gut feeling that this case would be the exception that proves the rule . I kept hammering on about the clues that were missed ... the subtle things that most people might not catch, but that I (being the suave, savvy genius that I am), picked up almost instantly. After all was revealed, I even saw interviews about public reaction to the outcome (on Fox ... yecchh .... ). Most of the population are apparently dismayed with the decision, and, quite honestly, even though I was right about Mr. Obvious, I'm still upset about the conclusion. After all is said and done, it seems to be a cop-out. It seems that this show has been around for years, and will continue to bombard the airwaves for years to come. It spawned an entire industry of its own. It's almost surreal. This. because of bungling cops. too. The only time those guys seem to follow proper police procedure is when they're opening a box of Dolly Madison Gems. Their slipshod work is now legendary, having been caught on TV making all kinds of stupid mistakes.

Roxanne Guffey gives a stellar performance as Anne Frank. The play finishes its run Oct.S
"The Diary of Anne Frank" proved to be a smashing success when it opened up last Friday night. The play was performed so well that it didn ' t seem like 1t was bemg watched as a play, but more like you were in the attic w1th them. The stage was set so the audience could see three different rooms at once . At first it was a little we1rd. but it really helped to completely understand each characters view point. The sound was rigged so you could hear the train carrying people to the concentration camps. the soldiers marching up and down the streets , the air raid attacks , and many more chilling realistic sounds during that dreaded time. Most plays need some sort of humor to keep me entertained . and surprisingly enough this play had me laughing a couple of times. The cast did an excellent job portraying the characters as they struggled to live in a tiny cramped attic for two years. The characters faced some challenging rules as they
lived in the upstairs attic. During the day they could not walk with their shoes on or even speak. Everything they did had to be in complete silence so the Nazis could not find them. They watched each other get thinner because food was so scarce. Yet, they still managed to surv1ve under the living hell that they endured. Guffey was a terrific Anne. She really showed how her character matured throughout the two year penod. She was quite funny when she mimicked the other characters and threw her smart mouth around . In the scene where Anne was having a nightm are, Guffey screamed bloody-murder with such intensity that it shook the theatre. Alexander Raymond extended the role of Mr. Frank to the fullest acting glorification possible. He drove the characters power into the minds of the audience as he made the point of how powerful the scenes really were in relation tothe history . It was the first play I'd been to where the actors came off as professionals and not as a student production. In some scenes it was hard to distinguish between the actors acting and real people living it 50 years ago.
'Jurassic' sequel quick to die off Brian Wallace Edi!or-iii-CIIie(
In "Jurassic Park." scientists cloned extinct dinosaurs. In "The Lost World," author Michael Crichton has cloned ·•Jurassic Park.'' The sequel to the 1990 best-seller holds few surprises for readers, who are left feeling just like mathematician Ian Malcolm , the only retuning character from the first booksomething seems very familiar. The reason that Malcolm (played by Jeff Goldblum in the movie) tlnds himself trying to avoid becoming dino food again is that the InOen company, which ran the dinosaur zoo/ theme park in the first book. had a dinosaur "factory" (the top secret ''Site 8") on another small island. Recently. dinosaurs have been washing ashore in Costa Rica and a colleague of Malcolm's, the stuck-up researcher Dr. Richard Levine. decides to investigate. Ultimately, Malcolm and a small party of other sciencetype folk have to go to the island to rescue Levine. At the same time. however. evil scientists from BioSyn. the company that had tried to steal dinosaur embryos in the first book.learn about the trip to the island and plan their own trip, hoping to steal dinosaur eggs for their
own nefarious purposes. or course, for added drama, two kids end up on the island with Malcolm and his expedition (sound familiar?). And again. the kids' ability to hack intoacentral computer which runs most of the functions on the island plays a key role in helping keep them alive. The bad guys. once again, are the deadly velociraptors and a couple of tyrannosauruses who chase the humans around the island through dangerous jungle territory and pounding rainstorms (ooh, the drama of it all). And. as if it weren't bad enough that the people had to deal with the dinosaurs. they also had to deal with the never-ending "ltold-you-so'' whiningofMalcolm. who spews his "complexity theory" ramblings any time that the dinosaurs don't act as expected (sec "chaos theory"- which Malcolm pushed in

Crichton. usually a master at making a book impossible to put down, doesn't fare very well in ''The Lost World_" His hooks are too predictable and for anyone who read "Jurassic Park" they seem tired.

• New '90s Godzilla films bring renewed life into the monster movie genre Steven Zivanic Fc111ure Editor
Remember those old Godzilla movies? The movies we all used to watch as kids which featured gigantic mutated creatures roaming throughout Japan's countryside destroying everything in their path?The movies where everything looked so unrealistic and campy that you just had to laugh? Well, those movies are being produced, once again. Japan's most famous movie monster is back on the big screen-and this time the word "campy" isn't part of his vocabulary. The mutated Tyrannosaurus known around the world as Godzifla has been shattering box office records in Japan for the past five years, with films that have raised his immense popularity to new heights and created a modern image for the fire-breathing monster as well.
and Toho got the message. The monster spent I 0 years in forced retirement, but the studio brought him back in 1984, this time in full, horrifying splendor. While Godzilla has been featured in 21 films to date, only 16ofthose were ever seen on American shores. The last Godzilla film brought to the United States was "Godzilla 1985,'' seen in Japan as "Gojira 1984." The reasons why Godzilla films aren't released in the United States anymore are as vast and complex as the monster himself. AccordingtoGodzi//a Fan Magazine, Toho has been taken advantage of in the past, and may be wary now. On occasion they've sold all the rights to their films for a pittance and then seen the tilm butchered and no credit given to the people who actually made the film.
The New Godzilla While fans of the past may be somewhat History familiar with Godzilla's various fighting tacThe history of Godzilla dates back to tics and radioactive powers, the new Godzilla 1954, when a man by the name of Eiji surpasses any expectations by bringing forth Tsuburaya had the desire to capture his fasci- completely renovated weapons to deploy nation of dinosaurs and mythological drag- against his terrifying enemies. Godzilla was ons on the big screen. Tsuburaya, who had previously known as a large, rather goofybeen making films since childhood, was em- looking dinosaur-type creature that could ployed at the time by Toho studios in Japan, breath fire. However, the new Godzilla, introas a special effects wizard. duced in 1989, is a much more realistic and According to the Los Angeles Times, at the ferocious-looking monster. with a more protime ofGodzilla's conception the fear of war nounced build and a distinctive dragon-like in Japan was still fresh, and. in addition, a appearance.

The huge monster managed to brought a more serious aura to the series. perfectly capture those fears. portraying Godzilla as a menacing monster But as fears ofwarreceded, Godzillaeven- on the warpath of destruction and showcasing tually lost his reason to exist. Toho responded more violence, better directing. better special by making him a good guy, rescuing human- effects and a more fluid storyline. making these kind and acting like a childish buffoon-and new Godzilla epics superior to anything ever crowds diminished. Godzilla got the hook graced by the monster. It was essentially a reformulation of Godzilla for the next 40 years. In "Biollante," Godzilla displays one of his newly acquired powers-the nuclear pulse. Fundamentally a tremendous nuclear discharge which comes from within the atomic furnace and uranium pockets inside Godzilla, the nuclear pulse causes severe damage to his opponents. Theoretically, it's like Godzilla's own portable electric chair: he roasts his opponents away by giving off a ravaging electric charge when he's losing a battle. It was a surprise to see it in ''Biollante," but now Godzilla seems to rely heavily on it. Palomar student Howard Lewis, an avid collector of Godzilla memorabilia, said he wasn't aware of any new Godzilla films. "My whole collection stems from the films of old. The latest movie I was aware of was made in 1985-I had no Courtesy orToho Studios Godzilla, as seen in the original 1954 horror film. Over idea these things were still being made. Actually, I'm a span of 40 years, 20 sequels have been made.

Godzilla prepares for battle in the hit 1994 movie "Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla." in a state of shock right now," Lewis said. In the 1991 film, "Godzilla versus King Ghidora," fans saw Godzilla take on perhaps his most famous enemy, the all-mighty threeheaded dragon, Ghidora. A particularly interesting facet of the film was a sequence which depicted "the origin of Godzilla." With the aid of time travel. we see characters travel back to 1944 and witness the first sighting of Godzilla. They learn that Godzilla was previously an indirect form ofTyrannosaurus Rex. known as Godzillasaurus. which helped the Japanese army defeat the United States in World War II, on the island of Lagos in the South Pacific. The island was later used hy the U.S. Military for nuclear testing, mutating the Godzillasaurus into a horrifying radioactive monster 100 times the size and strength of a typical Tyrannosaurus. In I992, fans saw the remake of the classic "Godzilla vs. Mothra," (the giant moth) which was also the year's highest grossing Japanese film with receipts of more than $22 million. In 1993, the film "Godzi !Ia versus MechaGodzilla" (Robot-Godzilla) gave fans one of the most fascinating events in the entire series-the death and resurrection of Godzilla and Rodan (the gigantic pterodactyl). "Mecha" is considered one of Toho's best allegories: rarely has the message of life versus machine been delivered in such a flamboyant manner. In "Mecha" we see the introduction of two new elements crucial to the Godzilla storyline: a baby Godzillaand another destructive power added to Godzilla's weapon list: the super atom ray. In this film, upon coming back from his short death, Godzilla transforms into ··super Godzilla." making himself twice as powerful as hefore with a new atomic ray that obliterates anything it comes near-literally. With a flurry of lightening and super-charged electricity flowing around him, ··super Godzilla" is definitely the most awe-inspiring rendition of the monster ever created. Palomar student Tom Bixbey, a Godzilla record collector, said he was aware that "new" Godzilla films were being produced, but says he didn't know there were so many. "I just didn't know the studio was pumping them out like they are. I have some of the new !licks.
and with advanced special effects and all. they're simply amazing," Bixbey said. In 1994, a continuation of the "Biollante'' film was produced titled "Godzilla versus Space Godzilla.'' The film featured wh:ll was at the time deemed to be Godzilla's greatest foe, a fierce monster bred by the interstellar mutation of Godzilla & Biollante cells"Space Godzilla.''
The Future Slated for release in Japan this December is a film expected to be the most dynamic Godzilla film of all; "Godzilla vs. Destroyer,'' which Toho promises will mark a return to the atmosphere of horror prevalent in the original Godzilla film. The story will focus on Godzilla's death, which will be the result of increasingly high levels of radioactivity in the monster's body reaching the point of overload. The story will focus on the potentially devastating crisis that will occur when Godzilla dies. Sources indicate that "Junior Godzilla" will carry on the series. Despite the advance of computer graphics, Godzilla is still animated by man rather than machine. Although some might consider "suitmation" as a form of cheap camp, others consider it to be a part ofGodzilla's enduring charm. Toho Director Koichi Kawakita has been quoted as saying that the Godzilla craft is an extension of Japan's cultural traditions of the miniaturizations found in forms ranging from bonsai trees to Sony Walkmans; the elaborate costumes featured in the Kabuki theater-giving it up to technology's wizardry just wouldn't be ''Godzilla-like."

SPORTS The lrie Side of Sports Rick Martinez
Basketball is just around the corner I count my lucky stars every night that the National Basketball Association got it's act together soon enough for there to be an entire 1995-96 season. I'm glad they learned their lesson from those hockey and baseball idiots. It would have been pathetic to see a union-less group of players being locked out by stupid owners all because of greed from both sides. But alas, there will be an NBA season. Make no mistake about it, this season is going to be great. Oh, how I love this game! * The Bulls should be pretty good, but that's about it. Yeah, sure Michael's back, but John Paxson isn't. Horace Grant isn't, B.J. Armstrong isn't, and neither will another championship banner. Believe it or not, M.J. didn't get those rings by himself. * So who are the new studs of the eastern conference now that the Bulls are yesterday's news? Orlando is the obvious answer, but screw the obvious. How about Charlotte? How about Indiana? Maybe even the Washington Bullets. *Happy days are here again. All is looking up in Laker-land. The 32nd pick in the '93 draft sure is paying off for L.A. isn't he? Nick Van Exel put this team on his shoulders and dragged them into the second round of the playoffs last season. When Cedric Ceballos disapeared, Eddie Jones got hurt, and Vlade Divac got stupid, Nick at night was there to keep "The Lake Show" moving. * It was great seeing Hakeem Olajuwan and Clyde Drexler win championship together last season. This will be Clyde's first full season in Houston and the Rockets might just make another run at the finals. However, Clyde and Hakeem aren't exactly spring chickens, and one can only wonder when the honeymoon will end. *So, Pat Riley is going to coach the Miami Heat. You will have to wait and see whether or not this pays off for both parties involved. Maybe "Riles" will get Harold Miner the ball finally. * What's wrong with the Knicks? They have loads of talent but they haven't put it all together and won anything yet. Their hopes went south, literally. when Pat Riley left. * I can't beleive how far the Celtics have fallen since their glory days. I doubt those "Ghosts of Celtics past" arc going to follow them into their new arena this year. * Who's the best second year man in the league? Grant Hill? Nope. Glenn Robinson? Nope. Jason Kidd? Nope. It's Eddie Jones of the Lakers. He hardly got the recognition he deserved when it came to Rookie of the Year voting because of a late season injury. But, the difference between E.J. and the rest of the group is that with Eddie's help, his team wins. * I hate the fact that NBC shows the Orlando Magic every weekend. I love the pregame shows but, damn, there are other teams in the league. The Shag is not the only star in the NBA. It would be nice to get a look at the Chris Webbers, Alonzo Mournings and Jimmy Jacksons of the league and be able to see what they can do.
No.I Comets whip No.9 Rustlers Rick Martinez Sport.\路 Ediwr
For a moment on Wednesday night it seemed that the Golden West Rustlers had a chance to win against Palomar, but then the National Anthem ended and it was time to get down to business. "When it's time to train, it's time to train and when it's time to wrestle. it's time to wrestle," said Palomars 126 pounder Chilly Parker after the Comets 37-9 romp over the Rustlers. From the outset of Wednesday's match the Comets all but tossed G.W.'s wrestlers all around the Dome. 路路we pretty much took control from the beginning, which makes my job more fun," said head coach Joe Ismay. Defending state champion Jake Roberts started off the Comet trouncing of the Rustlers when he recorded a pin with I :02 left in the second period over an obviously outclassed opponent. ''He was a first year wrestler [and] he didn't do very good," said Roberts. The scoreboard read "Chilly doggy-dog" when the sophomore Parker took to the mat. Parker put the chills to his opponent when he pinned him with II seconds left in the second period of what was easily the most exciting match of the night. "I really just went out there and took it to him," said Parker. "One move after another,

point after point. and then pretty soon, pinning him." With the hack-to-hack pins Palomar was ofT to a quick 12-0 lead. And it wasn't long before Golden West found themselves down 32-0. Palomar built their Impressive lead with five straight victories by Mike Metzger [ 134 pounds], Erncsto Espinoza [ 142 pounds],
Ricco Morel 1150 pounds 1. who won due to his an injury to his opponent, Brian Sam hammer [ 158 pounds] and Alberto Romero [ 167). Following Brandon O'Coyne's loss and a forfeit at the 190 pound weight class, Comet Chad Totina [Hwt] set the final score at 37-9 with his technical fault VICtory. Coach Ismay described the win in six words, "I thought we wrestled real good."
Cypress no match for Palomar volleyball Sean Thomas Swj{IVrirer
Palomar's womans volleyball team Friday night improved their record to 3-1 with a 156, 15-1 I, I 1-15. 15-13 road victory over Cypress Junior College. The Comets opened the match on fire. jumping out to a 10-2 lead before Cypress could even blink. They were sparked by the play of middle blocker Robin Allyn and the superior defense of hack row specialist Elizabeth Preto. Never looking back, the Comets won the game 15-6. ending it with an ace hy setter Chane! Kawi. "The first game I thought we played smart volleyball," said middle blocker Michele Willmering. "Elizabeth made some incred-
ible defensive plays, and also passed perfect freehalls.'' In the second game. Cypress did their best to get into the match, but Palomar was up to the task ofholding them back. The game went back in forth. After being tied at II, the Comets scored the last four points to take the game 15-1 I. Kawi once again turned Cypress away, serving the last two points for aces. "Chancl is doing a solid job at serving. but where she is really doing the job is at setting." said Coach Carl Seiler. "She is distributing the ball extremely well, and establishing the middle attack.'' Up 2-0. the Comets looked to close out the match, but Cypress wouldn't quit. taking game three 15- I I. Palomar didn't show the same intensity as in the previous two games and it showed on the scoreboard.
Game 4 turned to be the pivotal game of the match and also the most exciting. There were ties at 4-4, 7-7. 9-9, and 11-11 before Palomar hung on for a 15-13 victory. Leading the charge was Allyn. who acquired a considerable amount of her match high 23 kills in the fourth game. "Robin had a very solid match, our middle attack is definitely the strength of this team." said Seiler. As for the match itself. Seiler had mixed emotions. "We won the match. but I want the mental side of the game to improve." said Seiler. "We are just letting to many teams into matches that we shouldn't. With a young team like this there arc going to be ups and downs, but they are still working hard.'' Palomar plays tonight at Grossmont.
