Several transients camping at Palomar College may soon be getting the boot from school officials.

Responding to reports ofhomeless people living in the Arboretum, administrators recently announced that they will demolish at least one abandoned shack on campus and investigate the destruction of others. Campus Patrol believes transients inhabit the shack, among others.

The structure to be torn down is located behind Lot 3D at the east end of campus. Several students have indicated that one or more homeless people inhabit the shack.

A Telescope investigation last week found the structure to contain food wrappers, clothes and other personal belongings. Campus Patrol said the shack has illegally housed local transients in the past.

'That shack will be demolished, definitely," said Facilities Director Mike Ellis.

"As for the other two shacks [behind Lot 5], we'll look into

who is using them and then decide if we need to remove them," he said.

Campus Patrol Supervisor Boyd Mahan said any measures ne<.:essary to remove transients from campus will be taken. ··we have used force in the past to eliminate homeless people from Palomar. If necessary, we will use force again,'" Mahan said.

According to Ellis, no efforts have been made to clean or destroy the shacks as of yet. This week, however, The Telescope found the shack to contain far less

Voting for future Associated Student Government elections may soon be done over the telephone.

If a resolution is passed by the ASG next Wednesday, a program similar to the PAR (Phone and Registration) system will allow Palomar students to dial into a computer bank and <.:ast their vote by touch-tone phone. It would also allow students at Palomar's seven satellite center to participate in elections to which they currently have no access.

The proposal is designed to get more people to vote in Palomar's ASG elections. In the fall elections, 203 students voted. This number represents less than one percent of Palomar's 23,000 students.

The development of this computer/telephone system would cost up to $3,000. All ASG members are not convinced the proposal is a good idea, however.

"Do you know how many clowns we can get for $3.000"7" asked ASG Senator Cody Lutsch. referring to $250 the ASG spent to hire a clown to promote this semester· selections. ··I think people don't vote because they don't know about the student government or they don't care," Lutsch said.

Despite Lutsch's view, some ASG members are vehement about seeing the new system implemented. Supporters of the system argue that by implementing this program, more students will have access to the elections.

Some ASG members even claim the current method of holding elections does not follow guidelines in the ASG constitution. '"According to the ASG constitution, we have to accord everyone in the school the right to vote," said Kathy Kremer, vice president I chair of InterClub CommitLutsch tee. "Telephone way of voting will allow every one of the 25,000 plus students the chance to vote, and ASG will get higher visibility."

Advisor Jim Bowen, however, believes everyone can vote with the current system. There is no conflict with the constitution, he said. "'Absolutely every student registered at Palomar can vote. You have to come to Palomar to vote, but you can vote," he said. "In the outside world you have to go to the gas station or fire station to vote. It's not always convenient. but you have the option." ·"'Three thousand dollars is a small price to pay. Some people aren'tableto walk out of their way to vote. Myself. I have arthritis when I have to walk across campus. It· sa pain,'' said Victoria Maddock. ASG Senator.

Maddocksaidhavingphone-in-voting people will bring easier access to elections and higher voter turnout.

The proposition will be voted on Nov. I during the ASG meeting at I p.m. in SU-18.

More students opting for community colleges Marco Buscaglia College Press Sen·ice

Chris Peterson's first year in college wasn't exactly what he imagined it would be.

Balancing classes and swim team practices at the University of Northern Iowa had left him exhausted and unhappy. So when he saw that his older sister Stephanie had a goodpaying job after graduating from a one-year respiratory therapy program, Chris enrolled in a community college.

At many community colleges and trade schools, seats are being filled by students who-just I 0 years earlier-may have opted for a more traditional path to a four-year college degree.

But these students, faced with the rising

cost of college and an uncertain job market, are looking for alternatives.

"I want to graduate with a business degree and get a job dealing in foreign acquisitions," said Ron Elandro, a sophomore at Joliet Junior College in Illinois. "I want to go to a regular university, but first I want to get my regular classes out of the way before I enroll.

Ernest Pascarella, an education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, studied traditional students as well as those who earned their associate's degree before going on to a four-year school. He found that 13 years after the students began school, there were no differences in job status and income levels between the two groups.

"Students who begin at a community college are essentially receiving the same intel-

lectual content as those at a four-year institution," Pascarella says.

Students are beginning to realize that community colleges can offer a strong academic background in a wide array of disciplines, says Gene McDonald, chairman of the Association of Community College Trustees. ''These aren't schools that offer easy courses for students who couldn't get into other places. If anything, community college instructors give their students more attention because there are far fewer distractions," says McDonald.

While students like Elandro are using community colleges tor a jump-start on their bachelor's degree, others have made the decision to forgo a tour-year college degree altogether.

Peterson's sister. Stephanie Chesmore.

says her plans to earn a four-year business degree tlew out the window when she found couldn't stay focused on her classes.

So Chesmore, now 25, investigated programs at Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo, Iowa, and enrolled in a respiratory therapy program.

"I liked the program because it was one year, and the income was very good,'' she says. "The community college had smaller classes, and that kept me more focused."

Faced with finding a job in a world where corporate downsizing has eliminated many white-collar jobs, more students believe that community t:olleges offer an attractive combination: specific technical skills at a rela-

But inside, students may be watching a slide show on how to safely maneuver down a cliff face or attending a seminar about freeze-drying food.

The residence hall has been converted into the new Adventure Education Hall and unites. 45 Puget Sound freshman who share a passion for the outdoors.

"I've always been an outdoorsy person," said Todd Lokey, a freshman from Montrose, Colo. 路路And I like spreading my knowledge of rock climbing, backpacking and winter activities."

Pierson, who just began work on his master of physical therapy degree, said his mission is to challenge residents in some aspect of their lives-either within the halls or through the 'great outdoors.'

"What they learn here will help them all their lives," he said . "Hopefully , they' II develop a sense of education behind outdoors activi ty, and they'll develop their own leadership style and perhaps even a sense of direction."

Campus infrastructure undergoing improvements Francis T. Crowley Staff Writer

Teeming below the surface of Palomar College is an infrastructure of utilities through which power, heat and light permit communication and flush the campus.

Without it , we would be back in pioneer days.

The pioneer days of the campus' life, that is. But because of decay, the campus' infrastructure is slowly failing piece by piece and needs replacement.

The combination of recent power failures and sewage backups has increased the importance of the project.

Currently, a project is underway to comprehensively update the entire system.

"When we talk about infrastructure," Facilities Manager Mike Ellis explained, "we are talking about storm drains, sewer lines, domestic water lines, fire suppression lines, telephone, electric, fire alarm, gas and the entire support services that make this campus operate."

"The present system was not bui It to accommodate the number of bodies on campus right now," Facilities Planner Charrie Chappie said. "It works but it sought of limps along.

We do the· best we can to maintain it."

Chappie is working to find fund-

ing for the $11 million project. Part of her job is to write funding requests to get money for Palomar's infrastructure upgrade.

According to Ellis, without funding the necessary upgrading of the campus infrastructure will continue to be delayed. " [The funding] has been approved by the Board Of Governors, the Chancellors Office and the Legislative Analysts Office and all the review committees," explained Chappie. "It was listed as a capital out lay project to be funded from bond monies that failed to pass the two-thirds requirement in lastJune 's election."

Until the bond money is voted through , the college uses maintenance money in a patch-and-repair method to keep the utility failures at a minimum.

The older utility lines are aggravated by the fact that the San Marcos campus sits in a flood plain. "Some of those lines are 30, 40 and 50years-old, and they sit in water, because we have a low ground table," Ellis explained.

"We have eliminated some of the sewer stoppages," Ellis said referring to the infrastructure improvements of the first two phases of the update . "We now have new gas, water, electric and sewer lines to the pool, wellness center and tennis courts area. The next phase will go

from the tennis courts to the clock tower area.

"Flooding has been alleviated since 1992. We had more rain last year but we didn ' t have nearly the flooding problems we had earlier," Ellis said. "That's directly related to the new stom1 drains that we have been installing ."

The Facilities and Maintenance Department has worked out a master plan for the future of Palomar and each satellite campus.

This master plan is presented and must get approval from the facilities department of the Chancellor's Office which has authority over all community colleges in the state.

Chappie represents the college in facilities issues to the Chancellor's Office in Sacramento. She also serves on a task force which tries to solve some of the capital outlay problems of community colleges within the state.

Chappie explained that her duties, attempting to get money, are very frustrating. "There is a $3 billion backlog of projects, for community colleges, that have been approved but are sitting up there waiting for funding." she said.

If the voters ever do pass another bond issue. Chappic said, ·'we have a good chance of getting funding because Palomar stands 47th in a list of 500."

CO-OP EDUCATION EARN UP TO 4 UNITS AS YOU WORK AND ATTEND COLLEGE

COLLEGES: Enrollment up Continued from Page 1 tively low cost.

Jennifer Lyons returned to Madison Area Technical Collegeafterworking a year as elementary school teacher and ti nd ing she didn't enjoy it.

"Learning a skill like that is so different from your basic college classroom because you are doing this hands-on, really technical training," says Jennifer Lyons, who works as a respiratory therapist in suburban Chicago. "I was glad I made the move when I did because now I love my job and make more money. " The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected jobs requiring twoyear degrees will be among the fastest-growing job segment between now and 2005. These include jobs in nursing, computer information systems, law enforcement, human resources, paralegals and medical technicians.

"Students that are working on higher level vocational skills end up earning more in their initial job than those students who graduated from a four-year university," says Jerry · Pfeiffer, director of the Florida Education and Training Placement Information program, which studies compensation rates for the state's high school graduates.

However, over their lifespan, graduates with four-year degrees still continue to outearn non-graduates. The median salary for college graduates is $37,300, compared with $21 ,200 for non-graduates.

Yet, these same college students are finding they are spending more time and money to obtain that fouryear degree. According to the Cen-

ter for Educational Statistics, only 42 percent of college freshmen graduate within six years.

So to save money and speed along their graduation, some students are turning to the local colleges for classes while they are already enrolled at a four-year institution .

Officials at Eastern Michigan University estimate that up to 25 percent of the student body take classes at nearby Washtenaw Community College.

"It just makes a lot of sense," says Erin Bayard, an EMU junior who has already taken four classes at WCC. "Instead of waiting for a spot to open up in a prerequisite, you can just take the course here.

It 's usually the same thing."

It's also a matter of cost. Many students load up on general education courses when they're home for the summer because of significant savings. Most community colleges offer local residents tuition rates ranging from $25 to $50 per credit hour. Compared with the cost of most classes at four-year schools, which usually start at $300, community colleges offer students a chance to save money while fultilling Western Civilization and Psychology I 0 I requirements.

"Community colleges really are an important part of the educational system," says Bill Reinhard, director of public affairs for the American Association of Community Colleges. "Whether students want to take classes toward a four-year degree or are looking for a skill, there are a lot of options open at community colleges."

Though he admits there is a prob!em this year with homeless on campus, Mahan said there has been more activity in previous years. ''I've taken a lot of clothing in from homeless sites behind Lot 5 and from the various' shacks. I've destroyed a shack because of a homeless person. I' ve even chased homeless people off the campus in the past," said Mahan. ''It used to be a lot worse around here."

Computer Science major David Perry reported sightings of a transient living in a trailer behind the Howard Brubeck theater. Beneath the locked trailer, Telescope reporters found a box containing several household items: shoes, scarfs, other articles of clothing, newspapers and empty 12-pack beer boxes.

The trailer belongs to art instructor Val Sanders. Sanders denies anyone lives there, but said that people have tried to break in to trailer in the past.

tains something will be done about the homeless situation.

In addition to the structure behind Lot 3D, additional storage shacks in the Arboretum have been reported to house transients. Students have also reported seeing students camping in the bushes within the Arboretum.

Last Thursday, a Telescope photographer said he witnessed a barechested, unshaven man crawling from a large enclosed bike locker near the P-Building. The lockers are approximately three feet wide, six feet deep and three feet tall.

Student Activities Secretary Marylin Lunde said the lockers are available to any student for $5 per semester. The school assumes renting locker space will be used properly and does not seek to verify that bikes are being stored.

Despite this, Lunde said the school did evict a man who had been living in a bicycle locker a few years ago.

Lunde said the man was living there temporarily because of a separation from his girlfriend.

Mahan said there was no confrontation between this student and Campus Patrol because the student leftwithoutcontlict.

A meeting between Ellis, Campus Patrol and administrators has been scheduled for Nov. 14 to discuss further solutions to the homeless problem.

Ellis said that after the meeting, Palomar will decide if further action will be taken concerning other reported homeless camps.

According to Ellis, any action taken against those camping in the more remote sections of the Arboreturn is up to President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs and his cabinet.

"We had to remove people from the Arboretum before because they were posing a potential fire hazard," said Ellis.

Mahan said transients have been found at Palomar with barbecues, hibachis, portable grills and other cooking equipment .

"If they have barbecues up there that means they're cooking and we won't allow that," said Mahan. "A fire could destroy everything."

"It's not n1y decision whether we remove them this time, but we will take action on whatever Dr. Boggs and his cabinet decide," Ellis said.

T ucked away in the northeast comer of campus, away from classes and adults, 168 ch ildren spend part of their week in a learning environment known as daycare.

In three buildings , with children separated by age, the Palomar College Child Development Center has been providing day care for children of faculty , staff, students and community members for 23 years.

Celebrating their open house recently, Director Joyce Wil,liams and the staff of seven licensed teachers and 27 student employees welcomed the public to sec the curriculum that provides for children ages 18 months to fi vc-years-old.

Within the three trailer-type buildings , thousands of photographs, finger paintings and a pet Cockatiel help to decorate the environment where children spend the hours away from their parents.

Used as a working laboratory for students majoring in child development, the Center provides employment and experience for students.

"It is an opportunity for handson experience and for a payingjob," Williams explained. "Students work as teacher-aides on their way to

When Palomar students Tom Guibord and Jim Corneli son started rebuilding the Westerbekc diesel sai lboat auxiliary engine, it was a bucket of bolts-literally.

It needed bearings , a heat exchanger, an alternator, a fuel injection pump and both a raw ana fresh water pump.

But over a year of hard work brought the engine back to showroom condit ion and brought the two diesel technology students four top awards in the Energy and Transportation Division of the 1995 Del Mar Fair.

Guibord, who was taking an accounting class at Palomar, got in-

Child development majors learn to provide development services including social nourishment, health care and developmentally appropriate play intended to create intellectual growth.

Children are supervised following state guidelines of adult to child

ratio, in a classroom environment by licensed teachers with one or more teacher aides depending upon age and number of children in a class.

With a waiting list of 415 children, one and a half years, or three semesters, is the average wait for enrolling children. The center accepts names on a first come, first serve basis.

Guibord , a boating enthusiast, noticed it was similar to the engine in his own boat. He inquired as to the owner of the engine.

He soon learned it had been donated to the school 's diesel club, but there was no one interested in taking on the restoration project.

Guibord decided to buy the engine for $100 and enrolled in an engine rebuilding course the following semester. The class was taught by Joe Schaeffer.

In was in this class that Guibord and Cornel is on first met. They struck a friendship and began the engine rebuilding process.

The two men worked for over a year. Guibord invested about $4500 for the missing parts which were found in junk yards or huilt from kits.

The duo 's hard work brought them four awards at this year's Del Mar fair: a blue ribbon for tirst place in the Energy and Transportation Division, a special award for "excellence above and beyond" normal requirements, " Best of Show" in competition against other "special winners" and placement of their names on a perpetual plaque .

OPINION The United States to the rescue~ â&#x20AC;˘ We need to look out for the little guys

â&#x20AC;˘ It's time we took care of our own

Rick Martinez

Seanna Lee

Sport.\' Editor

Staff Writer

If we don't police the world, who will? I seriously doubt that Canada or Brazil is going to step in and a1d another country in its time of need.

It's only natural that those who have more protect those who have less. And believe it or not, here in the good ol' U.S. of A. we do have a lot. We have the ability to correct certain situations that have obviously gotten out of control for other nations, so we must correct them.

These soldiers who get sent to Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and most recently, to Bosnia by the United States, are doing what they get paid to do. This is why young men join the service, and this is what they are for. I don't think the government gives these guys a guaranteed paycheck, a guaranteed place to live and a guaranteed three meals a day to sit around on a base all day and do oddjobs.

The 20,000 soldiers that were sent to Bosnia weren't average Joes who were dragged off the street and forced to go. They volunteered by signing their name to the contract that, in a sense, makes them U.S. property. Their services are needed by their country, and it is their duty to go. People who sit around and complain that the civil war in the former Yugoslavia is none of our business are, quite frankly, un-American. With all the suffering going on in Bosnia, the United States is the only country with enough balls to say "enough is enough," and it's time somebody does something to end the insanity. Diplomacy couldn 'tget it done, so it is time forourarmed forces to go in and put a stop to it.

And it is not policing, it is called doing the right thing. People here like to take a negative approach to every little situation that arises, and they start protesting in a vain attempt to relive the 1960s. The government learned its lesson in Vietnam, so we don't have to worry about another one of those fiascoes arising.

We have the single greatest fighting force ever assembled on the face of the earth. There comes a time when talk can't get the situation resolved, and we have to tlex our military muscle, regardless of where the problem is.

Some countries just have to learn the hard way that we are entering the 21st century, and they cannot just do whatever they want whenever they want to whomever they want. The United States of America will, and must continue to aid those in need. Because, if we don't, then who will?

Should the United States be the world â&#x20AC;˘ cops aga1n, now in Bosnia?

Now that Bosnia has signed a peace treaty, we have sent in American troops to keep the peace. Should America play peacekeeper for all the countries of the world?

Four years of war in the Balkans, and the United States is finally stepping up its involvement. Under the shadow of the O.J. Simpson verdict, President Clinton deployed 20,000-plus U.S . troops to Bosnia.

Considering how responsive our government has been in past international crises one might ask: Why did he wait so long?

Go back through United States history to World War I, when the country was dragged out of its isolationist mind-set. With or without reason, the United States has been involved in just about every major international contlict since then.

The United States is the last remaining world superpower. or course that necessitates our involvement in any global issue of consequence. However, it should not be an excuse to send our military rushing to the scene of every dispute, especially when the safety of U.S. citizens is not in question.

After all, that is the job of the military: to guarantee our safety, to protect our borders and our national interests. By involving the military in other countries' wars, we are putting our troops in unnecessary danger.

Service members realize they might have to sacrifice their lives in the line of duty, but they shouldn't be expected to sacrifice themselves for countries with whom the United States has no dispute.

The United Nations seems to think that since we have the world's strongest military, it is our duty to shoulderthe burden of carrying out U.N. policies. Forget that there are other countries with strong militaries-because we're the biggest and the best, we have the privilege of being the world's cops.

Where will this end? Sooner or later, other countries are going to expect the United States to come rushing to their aid for any trivial internal disagreement; in fact, some already do.

This has already happened in Bosnia. Citizens there are complaining that, had the United States intervened sooner, innocent civilians would still be alive. Guess what? Innocent civilians die every day in the United States, too, but we don't hold our military accountable for their deaths.

People die in wars-usually blameless civilians who arc not even involved in the contlict in the tirst place. It is completely unfair to hold the United States, or any dominant nation, accountable for deaths that are the result of other countries' differences.

Straight From Skipper Liz Bennett

Harassers need to know their actions won't be tolerated Sexual harassment is a common problem that is often ignored or forgotten.

When I am at work, I am constantly being harassed by barbaric. uncouth men. About half of the men that I run across during a normal work day make some sort of sexual comment.

I have almost quit my job many times because of the disgusting, rude comments aimed at me. Then I think, I would only be letting "them" win the battle of sexual harassment, and I'm not going to let those pigs get away with that.

Women in society should not have to tolerate such hideous, animalistic behavior.

Men think they can rule the world and say or do anything they want, but they are wrong.

I am not generally against men, but some men act like barbaric, savage animals instead of human beings. Where do they learn this behavior?

It is one thing to joke about sex with your friends, but to make derogatory remarks to a complete stranger is going too far.

One of my female co-workers has even had strangers call her at work and ask her for a date. They ask for her by name because they remember her name tag. A name tag for some is just an identification marker allowing them to harass others.

A professor at a well-known state university once asked a female student in his class to stand up and turn around, then he commented to the male students, "Wouldn't she make a good Playboy bunny?" That is revolting and offensive.

I have had foul, obnoxious men try to play with my hair, rub their hand down my face and grab my hands.

Something is really wrong with society when women feel threatened by men. Women are completely mistreated so often and they just let it go. As a living, breathing, thinking human being, no one should have to take this kind of abuse.

Women carry mace and take self-defense classes to try to protect themselves against threatening men. There is just as much pain caused by verbal harassment as the unwanted groping. When I hear a guy whistle I look around for his dog.

There is a point where tlirting is not just flirting anymore but harassment. When a woman suggests to a male harassing pig that he should drop off the face of the planet, it is time to go away. A woman should not have to call a police officer to get a man to leave her alone. Get the picture, guys?

Main campus in dire need of new buildings In case no one noticed, staff and students of Disabled Students Programs and Services have been homeless for a month.

Their building was quarantined in September after employees complained of headaches and fatigue. DSPS officials believe the problem started because of last winter's torrential rains. Water leaked into the building, soaked the carpets and caused mold and mildew that made the employees sick. It seems the building flooded because it was poorly built.

But it was poorly built for a reason: it's a temporary building. A 20-year-old temporary to be exact.

And the DSPS building isn't the only temporary that's long overdue for replace-

Change may be required, but Rockwell's tilting at windmills reminds me of a character in the novel "Red Sky at Morning."

When asked what their father did for a living, two unfortunate little girls replied, ''He's a sewer." The semantical gag was milked for several pages until one of them explained''He sues people for a living."

Rockwell may not be a professional sewer, but the aroma is the same.

in the library.

Expansion and technology are great, but we need to keep the actual campus in working condition as well. We need money for new buildings.

Granted, money for the Poway campus and the football field didn't come directly from Palomar. But Palomar was able to go to outside sources in order to get that money.

If room can't be made in the current budget for new buildings. there are other options.

Replacing temporary buildings might save the college money. DSPS has run up plenty of bills replacing carpet and calling in specialists to investigate the problems.

Wouldn't it be easier to make room in the budget or appeal to the state form ore money?

The list of temporary buildings include TheTelescopeoftice, Graphics, EOPS, Nursing, Communications and Behavioral Sciences. The worst part is DSPS' s problems could strike others because no imminent plans are in the works to replace these buildings.

We, too, have noticed that Columbus Day is the only day of the year any appreciation is shown for Italy's contribution to this nation.

Perhaps our culture is overlooked because it is so much a part of American, and we're not referring just to shoes, food, or Roman-based law.

We invented forks, baths, Venetian blinds, and the blue cotton cloth jeans are made of. An Italian tlew more than 400 years before the Wright brothers, another invented the radio and still another could paint on his back.

A~~ provides 'Stomp' nt Brian Wallace Editor-ill-Chief

The honeymoon is over between Anthrax and singer John Bushnow it's time to put some work into the relationship.

"Stomp 442," Anthrax's second release with Bush at the mike, is the follow-up to 1993's debut of the new Anthrax sound of "Sound of White Noise."

With "Noise," the addition of Bush (who took over for the ejected Joey Belladonna) brought a new life to the 12-year-old Anthrax-a band which seemed to be going nowhere after the release of 1990's dark "Persistence of Time."

With the new sound, Anthrax

found itself in the top ten on the album charts for the first time and in heavy rotation on both MTV and radio with the single "Only." Now theyarefacedwithtoppingtheencrgy and power unleashed on ''Noise."

"Stomp 442" lives up to the legacy of "Noise" in most respects, but seems to lack some of the freshness of its predecessor. The band still pumps out heavy, loud music, deep in its own groove, but the spark that rejuvenated the band on their last album is missing.

Guitarist Dan Spitz is missing too, but Pantera's Dimebag Darrell, Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante and band friend Paul Crook all till in with very little noticeable change in sound.

Thealbum 'sopeningsong, "Random Acts of Senseless Violence," is one of those songs that's so catchy that you get it stuck in your head all day. "Perpetual Motion ," "In a Zone," "American Pompeii" and "Drop the Ball" all stand out as high points on the album where the entire band comes together and shows how tightly they can play.

But for all that the album has going for it, there is one large strike against it-the ballad.

Anthrax'sfirstballadwascalled "Dallabnikufesin" (read it backwards) and appeared on the EP "AttackoftheKillerB's"lacollection ofB-sides and goof-off songs).

"Dallabnikufesin" made a mockery of ballads, showi ng how easily they can be written. According to the liner notes. "Dallabnikufesin" was written in 19 seconds and considered to be a "complete joke."

The band went on to say "other bands have based their whole careers on [ballads]. Oh well, it's a free world, and everyone is allowed to suck if they want to."

Well , it's Anthrax who's doing the sucking now. The song "Bare" soun ds almost identical to ''Dallabnikufesin," complete with the corny lyrics, only nobody's laughing this time.

Overall , though, the album is pretty damn good. About half the songs really kick ass, while the rest aren't so bad in their own right.

Anthrax rocks on with "Stomp 442," their seventh LP.

Palomar Arts has a new kind of energy Liz Bennett Staff Writer

Courtesy or Palomar Arts Dept.

Michael Mufson has new ideas for Palomar theater.

Prepare to be intrigued by the new performing arts teacher.

Michael Mufson has a creative strategy when it comes to teaching: he teaches passionate acting with energy, enthusiasm and excitement.

"I found that I have a strong interest in the process of creation as

an actor, a theater artist, an artist of any kind," says Mufson.

He instructs two classes on beginning acting, one class for intermediate acting, a class for introduction to the theater and a class called Public Acts. "''m really excited about the Public Acts class. It is a very creative class where the students write and create their own production.

It's about bringing the theater arts out into public space so people who don't usually see theater performances can see them. I hope the students make art about issues and events that are important to them right now. As I say, 'Art is relevant,"' says Mufson.

Mufson attended graduate school at the University of California at Irvine. He taught drama

classes there for two years before arriving at Palomar.

"In my experience in the commercial world, I realize that they are not interested in the process, but only the product. And because teaching is about process, I've found myself really drawn to the kind of stimulation of composing things that I get from teaching," says Mufson.

Farewell: The Dead Men return for one last trip •Putting the Dingo back in Boingo, Southern California s classic cult band rides the '80s time warp Angela A. Logan Op111WI/

For those of you who didn't go to any of the Oingo Boingo shows in this, their farewell tour, and you didn't get tickets for the remaining now sold-out shows, I have but one thing to say to you: Be bummed, be very bummed.

This band is one of the best live bands on the planet. In fact, some of the songs sound better live than on CD. To watch them perform, you would think they are a bunch of teenagers, instead or the thirtysomethings they are.

They started off' with "Insanity," one of their newer songs. Lead singer, and all around great guy, Danny Elfman pounds on the bongo drums, while the rest of the band produces a very pulsating, erotic,jungle sound .

It sounds similar song ''Grey Matter." except in "Grey Matter'' they beat on rhumbaphones (developed by band member Leon Schneiderman.) During the non-stop concert, the band inter-

PORTS Right on the

Mark Mark Eilinger Maddux is in a league of his own I remember back when _I was a little kid playing second base in one of my Little League games. At the plate, I would pretend I was Ryne Sandberg, the now-retired star second baseman of the Chicago Cubs, facing future Hall-of-Farner Nolan Ryan's flaming fastball.

Growing up, "Ryno" as Sandberg was affectionately called by his fans, was my favorite player. I would turn double plays with Cubbie first baseman Mark Grace in my own backyard and hit home runs over the outfield shrubbery at Wrigley, which really turned out to be many of my neighbor's windows.

Sandberg won numerous Gold Glove Awards and was a strong hitter. His skills were similar to those of the Reds' Joe Morgan, who is in the Hall of Fame. It was a sad day for me when Sandberg retired.

Nowadays, if there were any player I would idolize as much as I did Sandberg when I was young, it would be Greg Maddux, pitching ace of the Atlanta Braves. Maddux is possibly the best pitcher of his era, and when he takes the mound he commands respect from opposing batters.

Maddux has been the National League's most dominant hurler over the past five seasons. In his last season with the Cubs and first two with the Braves he has won three Cy Young awards. Blocking a run of insanity among the baseball writers who vote for the award, he should win his fourth straight this season.

Though Maddux is not the power pitcher Seattle Mariner Randy Johnson is, he uses what tools he has to overpower his adversaries. He mixes his pitches well. He is able to vary speeds on his fastball, change-up and curveball.

Maddux has the best control in baseball. He can pitch anywhere in and out of the strike zone, whatever is necessary to get the out.

This season Maddux led the league in earned run average, wins, and quality starts. He gave up more than two runs in only eight of his starts. Maddux was always an intimidating force on the hill. He finished the season with an outstanding record of 19-2 for the strikeshortened 1995 season.

Maddux had mediocre outings in both series' against the Colorado Rockies and the Cincinnati Reds. Critics began to question his ability against playoff teams, but Maddux showed his regular season form with a 3-2 win in Game One of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians. He didn't give up any earned runs, and only two balls left the infield in his nine-inning outing. The only two runs came on two Atlanta errors.

Maddux gets better every year. He was so good this season, he should be the National League's Most Valuable Player. Nobody was more of an asset to their team. He led his team to the best record in the National League.

If Maddux keeps up this pace, he should win 300 games and gain entrance to the Hall of Fame and be named in the same company with such greats as Steve Carlton, Nolan Ryan, and Tom Seaver.

If you see some fool out on his front lawn pitching to an invisible batter, that's just me pretending I'm Greg Maddux.

Comets give one to Long Beach • PC football loses at home, 46-45 Jeremy Bradley Colllributing Writer

Last Saturday's game between the sixthranked Long Beach Vikings and the Comets was a classic shoot-out that had Palomar playing their hearts out, only to lose by one point.

Long Beach rallied from a 45-17 fourthquarter deficit to overtake Palomar 46-45 at San Marcos High's Excalibur Field. It was a heartbreaker for the Comets. and a miracle for the Vikings, who outscored Palomar 29-0 in the final quarter.

'Tve been coaching 32 years," said head coach Jim Sanderson. "I've never, ever seen what happened to us in such a short amount of time."

The collapse began early in the fourth quarter, when the Comets gave up a rushing touchdown from their one-yard line that seemed harmless at the time, but proved fatal in the end.

Within the next two minutes, Long Beach turned two Palomar turnovers into two touchdowns.

Long Beach's Albert Dorsey recovered a fumble at the Comet 22 that Jed to a 20-yard pass from Neo Aoga to Joe Johnson. Chris Keldorf was then intercepted on Palomar's next play by Cedrick Gay who raced 36 yards for the score.

"They scored 22 points in a minute, 58 seconds," said Sanderson. "I think it became apparent to everybody what momentum can do."

The winning touchdown came on an Aoga pass to Johnson with I: 12 remaining in the game. Johnson tinished with eight carries for

157 yards.

But for the first 45 minutes it wasn't all peaches and cream for the Vikings. Long Beach's trouble started early with a bad snap on a punt that put the Comets on the Viking 18. Five plays later Keldorf found Jason Mahaffey in the end zone.

After Palomar intercepted Aoga, Mark Crnkovic rushed in for the touchdown that quickly put the Comets up 14-0.

The game saw several big plays and de fensive breakdowns. With Long Beach mounting a comeback in the second quarter, Palomar was bailed out by a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Travis Hill.

Despite having the lead at the half,

Palomar's work was far from over. At the start of the second half. defensive back Louis Muckle picked up a blocked punt and rambled 75 yards to score.

The Comets added two more touchdowns and seemed to have the game under control.

However, the Comet scoring only added to the the drama of the Long Beach comeback.

"We just made too many mistakes at the wrong time, and we couldn't get a first down." said Sanderson. "I don't think we used good clock management.

"Had we run every down I don't think they would have had enough time to do what they did. Unfortunately we didn't do that. They did what they did and history is what it is."

Vikings lucky to still be undefeated • Breaks just didn't go Palomar s way COMMENTARY Rick Martinez Sport.< Editor

For the first three quarters of Saturday's game the Comets played like the national champs everyone expected them to be before the season started.

PC had the Vikings on the ropes. They were

about to deliverthe knockout blow that would have sent Long Beach down for the count and back home with their tails between their legs.

But the Comets just didn't seem the same once the fourth quarter started. The proof was the fact they were outscored 29-0 in the quarter. But, they didn't play that badly.

It's too bad that people only remember the last thing you did. The last thing the Comets did was blow a huge lead. It was a "coulda', shoulda', woulda"' type of game.

Palomar could have conceivably won the game. When a team dominates the tirst three quarters, they should continue to do the same in the fourth . If not for back-to-back turnovers, PC would have won the game.

Miracles are hard to come by and, unfortunately for Palomar. Long Beach found one.

It's too bad they did.

The Comets controlled the game the first 45 minutes and quite frankly. they deserved to win.

Long Beach was a beaten team. Their undefeated season was about to go up in smoke at the hands of the Comets. It wasn't skill that brought the Vikings back, it was pure luck.

L.B.C. may as well change their name to the Irish they were so damn lucky.

The Comets need not hang their heads because they played one hell of a game. The better team lost on Saturday. Anyone who was at the game cannot say any different.

Womens soccer ties San Diego Mesa l l • In three-way tie for first in Pacific C. C. Eric Jones Staff Writer

After playing Grossmont to a 0-0 tie on Wednesday the Lady Comets had to take on the other Co-Pacific Coast Conference division leader last Friday.

Palomar was 3-1-1 in the Pacific Coast Conference. They needed to come up big against San Diego Mesa College to take over sole ownership of first place in the conference,but it wasn't going to be an easy

game against the Olympians.

San Diego Mesa defender Kate Powers got things started with her goal nine minutes into the game to give the Olympians the early 1-0 lead.

"We are improving every game against Mesa and I'm real happy about that," said Coach Tont.

Palomar wasn't going to let up, and kept the pressure on Mesa by using three forwards to keep the Olympians off-balance.

That left Comet forward Farrah Salm open by the defender and she scored her third goal of the season 15 minutes into the game. "It takes a Jot out of us when we play Mesa,"saidCoach Tont. "They make us pres-

sure them."

Both teams kept changing possession of the ball for 75 minutes, and neither team was able to break the game open. At the end of regulation the Comets captured their second tie in a week, and a three-way tie for first place in the P.C.C. with Mesa and Grossmont colleges.

"Everybody is tied for first place, so the next round is going to determine everything.

We have to get ready for the two games against Mesa and Grossmont," said coach Tont.

The Comets are 3-1-2 in the P.C.C. and 52-2 overall. They play at San Diego City College Wednesday at 3:15 PM.
