'Studmuffins of Science' change nerds' image NEW YORK-Karen Hopkin has been around scientists for most of her life. And despite what you may think, the biochemist says that most of them arc fairly attractive people. ''There's this geck stigma about us," Hopkin says. "But that's hardly the case." To help prove her point, Hopkin created the "Stud muffins of Science'' calendar, a glossy collection of 12 male scientists from universities across the nation who hardly fit into the ''taped-glasses, pocket-protector" stereotype. In the calendar, the hunky scientists arc pictured outside their classrooms and laboratories , usually in poses that emphasize physical cxcrci ·e over exercising the mind. The calendar gave a whole new view of socalled "dorky scientists.'' "I guess it's a new way to look at
scientists," says Hopkin, who also is a producer for National Public Radio (NPR). "It's a way for people to see that science attracts all kinds of people." Scientists featured in the calendar say they support the calendar's cause. The idea behind "Studmuffins" is to encourage young students to consider a career in sc1cnce. ·']was flattered to be considered," says Brian Scottolinc, a Stanford chemist and the calendar's "Dr. January ." "It was something I never expected." During working hours, Scotto! inc studies viral intcgrascs in chromosomes. The calendar's profile of Scottoline lists his hobbies-hiking and swimming-alongside his favorite subatomic particle- the Higgs bosons. Still, Scotto line says he and his scientific colleagues arc not any diller-
ent from other people. "We're pretty norm al," says Scotto line, who's pictured pulling himself out of a pool for the calendar's first month. ''We swim and golf and play basketball just like everyone else." "This is another attempt to dismiss stereotypes," Hopkin says . ·'Young people can see that what they want to do is just as normal as what someone else might want to do.'· The calendar. which will be available soon in campus bookstores. was produced as a fund-raiser for the American Association for the Advancement of Science. But why should the men get all the glory? Well, says Hopkin, just wait. Next year Hopkin says she hopes to create a similar calendar featuring female scientists.

SACRAMENTO-A resolution calling for the reinstatement of ROTC programs at California's public colleges and universities has been killed before reaching the 11oor of the state legislature. In protest of the military ' s "don ' t ask, don ' t tell" policy, many California universities dropped their ROTC programs in the early 1990s. School presidents at state universities in Sacramento, Chico, San Jose and other cities decided to drop ROTC programs rather than bar homosexual students from participation, stating any such action would violate the universities' policies on equal rights. This year, Republican Assemblyman Mickey Conroy introduced legislation torcinstatethe programs.

"The time has come to bring back the ROTC programs," said Conroy. " If they're not available, we ' re not offering students everyopportunitywecan,"Conroy said. Members of the state ' s Assembly Rules Committee, however, did not agree. Democratic Assemblywoman Sheila Kuehl. who is open about her homosexuality, said Conroy ' s proposal was "a step back'' for gay students on campus. After five Republican s backed off supporting Conroy ' s proposal, the proposal died in committee before reaching the state legislature's floor.

In addition to giving students real-world experience, the new station would also provide local entertainment, such as live broadcasts of Palomar sporting events. "I would appreciate any comments from anyone who has any ideas for the format of the station, any fund raising ideas and advc11ising," said Branch. "It 's Palomar' s station ... we want to know what the [students] like and need," said Branch. "It ' s going to be great for the college. It will give students that extra push to try to be a disk jockey. Now when you tell your friends you ' re on the radi o, they can hear your show," said KKSM DJ Paul Merrell.

History instructor joined Farrakhan in D.C. march Carla Van Wagoner Pho10 Editor
Dr. Curtis Stevens doesn't just teach history , he lives it. Stevens, an adjunct faculty member, was one of the thousands of people who participated in the Million Man March held Oct. 16 in Washington D.C. "I went because I knew it was going to be a hi storical event and it would give me a perspective on modern day American history that I couldn ' t get from television ," said Stevens. Demonstrating and marching for a cause is nothing new to Stevens. He had joined in the civil rights marches during the 1960s. "The civil rights marches were against legal segregation and the elimination of American citizens from the privileges of their American citizen sh ip. This march wasn't about that," he said. Polls showed that many Americans interpreted the march and organizer Louis Farrakhan ' s message of black unity in different ways. Stevens, however, chose to focus on the brighter aspects of the event. "He may have used words
that I would not have used but the essence of what he is saying is what I believe," he said. "I believe that selfhelp and self-knowledge are the genius of the American system," he continued. Stevens' participation in the march was not motivated simply by the desire to gain a professional perspective on the event-he went to Washington to gain some personal insight for both himself and his son. According to Stevens, he and his son witnessed "an opportunity to see male bonding at a scale th at was never seen before. "At that march yo u saw black males actually bonding because black males don't normally hug. I wanted my son to see what was going to happen. "Afterwards [my son] came to me and said, 'Dad, thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in this experience,'" Stevens said. Stevens views himself as an enabler for his students. "Every student that I enable to seek the truth for himself is a better student." With this in mind he decided that he was not the only Palomar person that was going to gain experience

from the event. Stevens chose not to cancel his African Studies class-it was to continue on in his absence with the assistance of one of his students. Faye Nobels was given the opportunity to stand before the class and continue the curriculum set forth by Stevens. She was chosen not only by Stevens, but unanim ous ly by her · classmates. Nobels, who was apprehensive about taking on the responsibility, found that teaching has its rewards. '·I am proud of myself-that I stood up to do it." she said. According to Nobels, all of the students turned in assig nments on time and participated in class. "I believe that if you give a student the opportu"nity to grow, they will grow," Stevens said. "My students are my monuments and as they grow, I grow." Dr. Stevens came back to Palomar College with a re-affirmation of his beliefs. "It was a transcendent experience. It was the most awe-inspiring experience I have ever witnessed in all my years of marching for various causes."

If the state has to cut school programs because of a lack of money, the music department is just as good as any department there is to cut from. Ask yourself this: why is it that when money needs to be saved, sports programs are always the first to be cut? Why can't they take the cash from the music program? Music can be done on a person's own time. There are plenty of places where a person who wants to study music can go outside of school. You can't say the same thing for sports. Young kids can participate through little league or Pop Warner programs, but teenagers who make a name for themselves athletically once they get to high school have no such options. People ask where would the world be without music from Beethoven and Bach? I seriously doubt these guys learned music through their high school's music program. They learned through hard work and their determination to make beautiful music, not from a high school music instructor. When you look at the revenue generated by the school band and compare it to the revenue generated by sports like football and basketball, there is no question which program should be cut. The only reason you have a band in the first place is to pump the team up or to play the fight song after a touchdown. Nobody cares about the band. I know for a fact that when I was in high school I didn't go to the football games to see the band's halftime show. I wouldn't even have noticed if the band failed to show up at all. Music is great and all, but there is a time and a place for everything, and maybe high school just isn't the best place. Public schools are supposed to be in the business of doing what's best for their students and sending kids off to college. And just because the program is cut, it in no way means that aspiring musicians will be forced to land 9-to-5 jobs instead of going to college. With the opportunities that exist outside of school, someone only needs to be good enough, and actively search for the right college to obtain a scholarship and further their education. I do believe that there are better ways of saving money than cutting entire departments that only affect the students. However, some departments are more vital to the school than others.
Budget slashers are at it again trying to eliminate music classes from the public school system. It never fails. Every time the subject of budget cuts comes up, the first things to be put on the chopping block are the performing arts. Heaven forbid the powers that be threaten to take money from the athletic depart!Tients. Sports programs are treated like the favorite son, while the arts are treated like a bastard child. If a child wants to play football, soccer, baseball, etc., he or she can join a community team for a nominal fee. If that same child wants to learn to play an instrument, the parents must shell out megabucks to buy or rent the instrument and a hefty fee for lessons. People who promote athletics will tell you that participating in extracurricular sports is crucial to a child's development. Isn ' t that why we have physical education classes? Not every child has the ability, or coordination , to participate in sports, but there are many possibilities in the performing arts. If Beethoven had never been exposed to the piano, the world would never have known the genius of his work. If Pete Rose had never been given a baseball, would the world be any worse off? I'm not saying sports are bad. I love them. A lot. But baseball is just a game, football is not brain surgery and a man 's soul is not affected by a missed goal. Music and the arts, on the other hand, can deeply affect a person's soul and spirit. "M usic has powers to sooth the savage beast." Athletic careers are shortlived. Athletes retire when they are young, only to find themselves needing something else to do for the rest of their lives. Musicians can play until the day they die. In fact, most do. Music brings nations together in harmony. Sports bring nations together to beat each others' brains out. Music touches that cord in the human heart that can be replaced by nothing. If we take this important creative outlet away from our children, we may never know how many Beethovens we denied a chance to shine. And again, as with most budget cuts, the children affected the most will be the poorest. We need to allow all of our children the chance to be great.
Should public schools cut funding for their music programs?
With more budget cuts on the horizon for California schools, music classes are again under consideration for the chopping block. Is it a good idea to cut music?
Jason Soderlund History "No, because everyone has a right to express their own taste. They're not going to cut football, so why should they cut music."
Lilly Villa Psychology "No, because music is a development of creativity."
Greg Ahlquist Undeclared
Bill Hampel Computer Science
Latesa Hill Biology
''No, because it keeps kids out of trouble."
"No. It's important for people to learn music as well as academics."
''No. It's a way for students to express their talents."

Sleep, what a concept Call me Dracula. During my nearly tw o years o n thi s newspaper, I have come to the conclusion that humans don't need sleep to survive. Most of my life has been spent as a n1ght-owl. but working on this paper has brought an entirely new meaning to the phrase. Should any of you out there happen to have a free moment o n a Wednesday , drop on by to The Telescope offices. You ' II be sure to find a few editors there, myself included, working on their respective pages, running on nothing more than Dr Pepper and sheer will. I realize that most college students have a good idea of what I'm talking about- midterms and other facets of college Iife promote such things as "cram sessions" and ·'allnighters." However, allow me to illustrate an average day in my life: 21 Hours: Writing, editing items for The Telescope web pages, working at a regular job, eating (three hours of this, hence the ''Gut" portion of my column name), coloring my friend Steve's comic book, fixing the hole in the ozone layer, playing "Leisure Suit Larry," running a 24-hour, on-site computer repair service, solving cold fusion and fighting off hordes of invading Mongols. 3 Hours: Sleeping. I know that, perhaps, this is not conducive to proper health and physical management, but anyone who has seen me lately knows that those two concepts are pretty low on my priority list. Also, other people tell me that I'm ignoring them, or something to that effect. I'm not really sure. However, this vampire's schedule I' ve been keeping has given me a way to catch up on my David Letterman and Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (check local listings for time and station). I know, I know, it's geeky, but I have to have something to look forward to. Thus far, I have suffered no ill effects from this lack of sleep. Sure I spend most of my hours with my brain in a thick haze, but I have come to fear life without tiredness. You get used to it, you know? It becomes a comfort. In fact, it's almost like spending 21 hours a day with a childhood teddy bear. This will, eventually, catch up to me. I have a feeling that, sometime in the future, I' II be going about my daily routine, then I'll just drop into a three-week coma without any notice whatsoever The sleep will, most likely, be blissful and fill me with a Zen-esque inner peace, but until that moment comes to pass I shall be awak;;kk]/ z z zz z z z 7

Belly up to the food bar and dig in
M
y recent road trip to Las Vegas has given me cause to wonderaboutthe eating habits of our society . It seems we have an obsession with food and how much we can get for the lowest amount of money. I am referring of course to that wonderful American invention, the allyou-can-eat buffet. The change that comes over a usually normal person when faced with the prospect of a food bar is truly a sight to see. A person who would normally eat one plate of food is compelled to pile on plate after plate. What is it about food bars that makes us want to eat more than should be humanly possible? When we go to a fast food restaurant, we don ' t have one of everything, but we sure make the attempt when faced with an allyou-can-eat place. People say they are trying to get their money 's worth. What I want to know is, when
Hell
On Wheels Angela A. Logan do you know you have eaten $2.99 worth of food? Who set the standard, and is it the same for everybody? Do you need to eat more at a buffet that costs $4.99? While in Las Vegas, I discovered a casino that offers not only all you can eat, but all you
can eat from restaurants from different countries. I sampled Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Western barbecue and seafood to name a few. Just when I thought I couldn't stuff another tasty morsel into my mouth, I discovered the dessert bar. Not those desserts that come frozen in little cups, no, they had professional dessert chefs on the premises. For a chocoholic-dessert-obsessive like myself, this can be dangerous. As much as I want of whatever I want of any kind of dessert is a dream come true for me. I could be happy eating nothing but cheesecake and baklava. Needless to say, I was in sugar-induced overdrive for hours. What makes it worse is that I went back for more the next day. I got my money's worth. In fact, with just dessert alone I got more than my money's worth. I ate enough to last me till my next trip. If we had a place like that around here, I would weigh 500 pounds .

Speaker overlooked in 50th celebration
reflect future disdain for this most significant period in the history of a great institution of higher education. Frederick R. Huber
I have just received recent copies of The Telescope through the offices of the Palomar College Foundation, of which I am a member. I was amazed to read the front page article by Robin Allyn of the Sept. 22 issue which was a report on the opening ceremony for the 50th anniversary celebration of the college. Nowhere in the article did it mention my name as keynote speaker, nor was there a report on my remarks. There was full coverage in the TimesAdvocate the following day of the ceremony, and my remarks prompted an editorial in that newspaper. Having served Palomar College for 13 years during a period of historic developments, I would hope that The Telescope's coverage of the opening ceremony does not

Not all men are pigs I was visiting Palomar yesterday and picked up a copy of The Telescope. I read Liz Bennett's editorial about sexual harassment. Obviously sexual harassment of any kind- male or female is wrong. However, her repeated usage of the words pig, savage, uncouth, barbaric etc., are pretty strong words to describe the male species. (Gee, about half of the men at her work place are like this? My god, Where docs she work?)
I wonder if The Telescope would have allowed a male to use similar terms in an editorial to describe his frustrations with women? No, I doubt it because that would be considered a sexist diatribe by an uncouth male pig. Jeffrey Justice jjsj@cts.com

A Decade of Religion on one LP • Bad Religion lays out punkrock's major '90s influence
A sappy eulogy for Dingo Boingo "I, I, I love 'Little Girls' they make me feel so ... good." An end of an era has come to pass and it is the a disbanding of a legacy, of legendary proportions. Legendary to this Boingoloid, at least, who witnessed his last two deadman's parties on Oct. 20 and at the final Irvine Meadows show on Oct. 26. It seems easy enough to understand considering for 17 years Danny Elfman and his compadres have been dishing up multi-textured havoc; how many times can you play through "Only a Lad" and not feel as though it's a bit old already. Words could not describe the schizophrenic emotions that were swirling in my brain as I was searched top to bottom, given my ticket stub and permitted to enter the ultimate encore of my cerebral existence. I was one of over 18,000 individuals, united in one respectto experience the concert event of our lives. Vibes were being sent out from the walks of life roaming the Meadows and was it good. The anticipation of Danny , Steve, John, and Vatos taking the stage for the last time gave me a warm, fuzzy buzz which I'm sure was equally warm a"hd fuzzy for the rest of the fans, drunk and sober alike. Just as a side note, if you ever are dying to sneak in a bottle of tequila to a concert a baby carrier is a afe bet. We were teased with B-horror films, the ones that give B-movies a bad name, until 8:45 pm when the mystic knights rode up onto stage and at once the audience came alive. Oh, the insanity of it all was too much to take in at one setting. A plethora of patrons passed out from pychotic trips of Boingo overload. For nearly three hours the supreme Dead Men gave their fans a trippy mosaic of more than a decade-anda half worth of quirky pop. Quirky is the perfect word writers use to describe Boingo's music because they don't have a clue on how to characterize it. Boingo's freaky tweaked o ut new-wave, with neo-punk ethos, anthems set the place off. Whether cool improvisations of standards such as "Just Another Day" or the Boingo adopted, "I Am the Walrus," my funky dancing vindicated the notion, "who needs drugs to get a high?" In all this great ecstacy, I had the sinking feeling the show was going to come to a close sooner or later. Singing at the top of my lungs-! have a beautiful singing voice-to "No Spill Blood," and "Violent Love" among 5 other encore anthems, there was no thought of the imminent end. But in the end no one lives forever including Oingo Boingo. And "We Close Our Eyes and world has turned around again."
Brad Rubin Entertainment Editor
Since when did greatest hits records and punk-rock fit so neatly together as it does with Bad Religion's "new" record "All Ages." Los Angeles' own legendary punk gods have gone the way of Aerosmith and released a best-of "compilation," the term Epitaph Records would probably rather have used because "greatest hits" albums have that disgusting major-label connatation attached to it. With all cynical criticism about the monetary motives behind "All Ages" aside, B.R'sdecade-longtestimony to d.i.y, harmonized, driving punk tunes, with lyrics that require an unabridged dictionary, is sampled well.
Twenty-two tracks take up all of 50 minutes but one to two minutes was all Greg Graffin ever needed to make his intellectually pointed attacks on religion , science and technology, greed and the American way. 1990's "Against the Grain" is a fine piece o'core but one, two, seven cuts is a little bit much considering the wealth of the Bad Religion vault. "Suffer" and "No Control" have a superior edge to them and its a darn pity that "Walk A way" and" Against the Grain" could not have been substituted for the classic "Progress" from "No Control" and "Give You Nothing" off of "SutTer." Bad Religion's old-school masterpiece "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" receives the cold treatment with just "We're only Gonna Die" and "F. .. Armageddon ... This is Hell" done live style minus the christening intro. "Along the Way," "Doing Time," or "Part III" would have been beautiful additions but you can't do five records worth of material justice with just one "best-of' compilation. Despite the above whining because of this and that, "Ages" has
3)S310a~
'ol/ l~t_r.\ ~ the multitude of hardcore standards that made Bad Religion what they are-the punk -rock outfit of the '80s from which melody-friendly punk is measured against. The material from the Epitaph era is rooted in do-it-yourself integrity and it's nice that Atlantic Record's "Stranger than Fiction" wasn't apart of this project or
"Recipe For Hate" for that matter. One more beauty is "21st Century Digital Boy" was reclaimed from the major label-thrashing it suffered on "Stranger Than Fiction." "Stranger Than Fiction" was a decent record but the re-recording of "Digital Boy" wasn't very B.R. And the remix of"Infected" cant be found on "All Ages."
t's ulana ive! •Alternative-rock queen Juliana Hatfield entertains at the Whisky Jenni Kendall SwjjWriter
Concert-goers could feel the immeasurable electricity in the blackwalled club last Saturday night when Juliana Hatfield walked on to the stage. The native Massachusetts singer stopped at the Whisky A-GoGo in Hollywood on October 28. The doors opened at 8 o'clock p.m. and the concert was sold out by 8:10. The maximum capacity of the famous club on Sunset Boulevard is 400, but according to Whisky's Manager Scan Tuttle there usually is many more people-three times that number-in attendance during larger concerts. There were people of every age group, ethnicity and class bracket on this peticular night at the Whisky. Hatfield fans have one thing in common: the love of great music. "This is one of the nights that I do get excited myself. I'm a big fan of good music ... and she's definitely good. In fact, I showed up for sound check this afternoon because I enjoy Juliana's music so much," said Tuttle . Hatfield's style is distinctive; she uses catchy ballads and romantic swinging guitar cords to relay her
naive way of looking out at the world. The concert was meant to be just plain fun. No, interviews were granted but the band did give out autographs to their fans. Hatfield played mostly songs from her most recent release ''Only Everything," and a few songs from her first two albums. For an encore she played covers of The Dead Kcnncdys and WceLcr songs. Perhaps the highlight oft he night for Hatfield fans was when she broke into a whimsical rendition of her hit song "Spin the Bottle," which also appears (in its original version) on the soundtrack to the movie ··Reality Bites. Hatfield attended Berklee Music College in Boston, Mass. where she was in her first band The Blake Babies. Later she ventured out on her own and made her first album in 1991, self-titled "Juliana Hatfield, Hey Babe." Then in '93 Hatfield made her second album along with some friends from college and together they formed the Juliana Hatfield 3. Now she's flying solo once again with "Only Everything," the first album on which she has played all the main guitar parts and written all

Hatfield has other interests, including acting, which she ventured into last year by guest-starring in the Christmas episode of "My SoCalled Life." Hatfield played a young homeless girl who turns out to be a ghost, she wrote and performed a song especially for the show. The song is available on the
"My So-Called Life Soundtrack," along with other hit songs heard on the show. Hatfield's current promotional tour is almost over, but to hear her live is a task to be reckoned with at all costs. The next time Hatfield's in town anyone who loves good music should make the pilgrimage to wherever and purchase tickets.

Deftones ultra-hard grooves just are fine
What do you get when you toss Pantera, Rage Against the Machine and Quicksand in a blender and set it on "puree?" I'm not sure, and I wouldn't wanna taste it-but it'd probably sound a let like the latest four guys to escape from Sacramento: the Deftones. The Deftones' debut album "Adrenaline" is chock full of enough fat-bottom guitar chords, hardcore drum beats and angryas-hell screaming that you could probably power a small city with the album's energy.
Throughout the 11-track album, the band somehow manages to be consistently melodic and intense at the same time. In the disc's opening track, "Bored," singer Chino Moreno moans the puzzling, yet poetic lines "Hearmespiton you wither 1/Remold into gold and bury I from sun," over simple metal riff which is soon swept away in an onslaught of sonic atmosphere. Songs like ""Root" and "7 Words" showcase guitarist Stephen Carpenter's ability dive deep into a groove and never float back to the surface. All the while, Moreno is screaming his lungs out and drummer Abe Cunningham is beating holes in his drumkit. "Adrenaline" is aptly named, and leaves an impression, if not a sweat stain, on anyone who listens to it. -Brian Wallace

Symphony Orchestra to play classics Seanna Lee Staff Writer
The Palomar Symphony Orchestra will perform its Great Classics Concert, the "Great Firsts of Johannes Brahms," in the Howard Brubeck Theatre Nov . 4 and 5. The orchestra , conducted by faculty member Robert Gilson, is community-based, but all the musicians are enrolled in Music 198 at Palomar College. Pianist Susan DeWitt Smith is the featured soloi st. She will be performing with the orchestra for Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. I 5. The two other pieces on the program are Brahms' Symphony No. 1 in C minor and the overture from
Mozart's "The Magic Flute." The orchestra performs five concerts a year. Gilson, who has been conducting musical ensembles at Palomar since 1973, selects the compositions which are on the program. However, the Brahms concerto was chosen because of the performer. Gilson heard Smith play part of the concerto and asked her to perform the piece with the orchestra.
Nov. 4 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. Prices: General Admission $9; for senior citizens, mililtary and staff $7; and for students with i.d. $5. All performances at Howard Brubeck Theatre. Group seats are available.

Donde esta el baiio? Is this the only Spanish phrase you ~know? Well, then maybe a trip down to Ensenada, Mexico with Palomar's Foreign Language Department can help you explore the beauties of Mexico beyond its toilets. For the third consecutive year, Spanish Professor John Erikson has brought Palomar students to the beauty of Baja California to enjoy a fun-filled weekend of scenic exploration, Spanish tutoring, memorable adventures and good food. While there, students attended the Center of Languages and Latin American Studies in Ensenada. The weekend Spanish immersion program, listed as Spanish 296, catapults Palomar students into a native Spanish speaking culture. Students wanting to improve their Spanish skills have an excellent opportunity to learn Spanish in small personalized classes and through everyday opportunities. Students are also able to put their newfound Spanish skills to work for them at many different cultural experiences put together by the Palomar staff throughout the weekend. ~
The student program starts at 6:30 Friday night. All students take an equivalency examination to detem1ine which class level they are to be placed in. Most classes are comprised of between two and six students. Students were housed with one of 19 Mexican families that are associated with the center. Housing costs are $25 for a private room and $20 for a shared room. The low price includes three hearty meals a day. All families enrolled in the program were middle class and didn't rely on students for income. "We had a real sweet mamas ita," said Lori Brad fish. "It was like living with grandma." Bradfish's roommate, Linda Whitehurst, added, "Her cooking was wonderful and very authentic." Students took in the local flavor at the "Bihia De Ensenada" for an evening filled with seafood and local mariachi songs. After dinner, students ventured upstairs to "El Langostin," a dance club. While many students were content with just watching the locals and having a drink, brave members of the group strutted their stuff and danced to the music on the dance floor. And they found the toilets just fine.

team aims high Robin Allyn Ambition is key to success for women Women in athletics have learned the hard way that it takes a lot of heart to succeed in the male-dominated world of sports. Their ambition remains the key to their success. From the start, athletic women face many contlicts. In some cases, strong parental support keeps young women from starting to compete. Then. a general lack of funding and the absence of upper-division leagues can pose potential problems. The interesting thing though, is these huge obstacles don't stop them. They persevere. A special ambition to succeed keeps them fighting, and ending up on top. Many talented women softball and basketball players have discovered these difficulties personally. They train vigorously to compete at a high level, and to no avail. Apart from the high school and the collegiate levels, there are no professional leagues for them to play in. Compare this to the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball opportunities available for top male basketball and baseball athletes. .,. Two 6-year-olds, one a boy and the other a girl, can play T-Ball together, but the boy is the only one that actually has a shot of fulfilling the dream of one day becoming a pro. Women's sports that do ha vc professionalleagues get very little media coverage. Monday nights are dedicated to football. Women's pro beach volleyball gets minimal coverage, less than the men's league gets. Women are forced to look beyond the glory and glamour of prime-time and play sports because they want to. They compete for the sake of competing, because the salaries aren't that great. While professional baseball players were on strike because their multi-million dollar contracts weren't enough, a very select number of professional female athletes are able to live of their salaries. Parents can also unknowingly be culprits in discouraging females to succeed in sports. A parent is more likely to enroll their child in genderspecific activities. Sports can be rough. Many parents don't want their "little princess" to skin her knees playing soccer. A ballet or a jazz class is a much safer bet. Though they don't realize it, their concern gets to be overprotective and in some cases, suffocating. Women have and will continue to persevere in sports for one reason, their ambition pushes them past all the obstacles. For although the wide world of sports seems closed and cruel, womenarefindingtheirplace.

With a confident outlook on the season, the men's basketball team hopes to compete for the conference title this season. "We are real optimistic right now," said head coach Richard Johnson. "We think we can compete for the conference championships." The Comets are coached by Johnson and assistant coaches Keith White and Paul Lewellen. Key players for the Comets arc sophomores Ryan Cunningham, Todd Johnson, Bryan Smith, David Rusk and freshmen Randy Price. Jacob Minnish and Maurice Miller. With only four returning sophomores. the team is fairly young. However. their talent compensates for their lack of experience. The team's strengths arc their quickness, smooth ball-handling and accurate shooting. "We're not real big, but we're big enough. We're a lot more athletic this year," said Johnson. "The four sophomores have a very good feel for each other. They are very team goal-oriented," said White. "We need to give the freshmen some early playing time, so when the conference season starts in January, they will be able to step up and help out." The Comets run a three-guard offense, the North Carolina highlow game. It is a simple offense that doesn't require a lot of reading but

'Tm excited being the brand new coach after being at Dixie College for 12 years." said coach Titus. "Coming to Palomar, I see a lot of talented student-athletes that arc willing and arc really pushing hard to be a good team." Palomar will once again be led by forward Kriquctt Wafford. who averaged 17 points and 14 rebounds a game last season for the Palomar. "We arc going to be much stronger then we ha vc in the past." said Wafford. 'Tm really looking forward to a good season." Deanna A usc. who played at UC Irvine last season. is expected to give Palomar veteran leadership at the other forward spot. Livian Cole and Angie Lee are both expected to provide the Comets with depth. ·'I think the new coach and players should really help the team win," said Lee. There are six freshmen on the Lady Comets and they arc led by six- foot- three-inch center Diane Casey, she will provide rebounding in the middle for the Comets. "I see us being real successful and I hope we continue to work as hard as we are in every game," said Titus.

calls for the players to he aggressive, yet quick. Johnson prefers the fast pace of the high-low game. It makes the game more exciting for the players and the fans. "We have to make teams play to our tempo," said White. The Comets' immediate goals are to hold all teams at a maximum of 45 percent shooting and out-rebound their opponents. They want to have
less than I 0 turnovers per game. The Comets hope to be in the top three in the playoffs, so they can compete in the state conference. ''The season outlook is optimistic; however, we have a lot of questions that will be answered early on," said White. On Nov. 17, the Comets face High Five America in the Dome at 2:30 p.m.
Women's volleyball beats Mesa at home Sean Thomas Sraff Wrirer
Friday night Palomar's women's volleyball team defeated Mesa College in a 12-15, 15-9, 14-16, 1511,15-9, five-game marathon at the Dome. Palomar got off to a rough start, spotting Mesa a 12-llead in the first game. The Comets showed their never-say-die attitude and slowly got into the game, pulling as close as 13-12 before falling 15-12. "I really don't think we were ready to play at the start of the match, but the team showed so much heart by
coming back the way they did," said Head Coach Carl Seiler. "I really felt that set the tone for the rest of the match." In game two the Comets held on to the momentum that they gained from the previous game, and rode it all the way to a 15-9 victory. Palomar was in control the whole game with leads of 6-3, I 0-4, and 14-8. The Comets were never challenged in the match. The teams split the next two games, Mesa taking game three, 1614. and Palomar taking game four. 15-11. During the course of both
games Palomar took control of the match. It seemed as though the Comets were scoring points at will, while Mesa struggled to get their points. "I believe the key to the match for us was our defense as well as our tough serves," said Assistant Coach Terry Mcfarland, "Tennesa [Rooney] and Jeannette [Buscemi] were digging everything it seemed, and I believe we literally wore down Mesa by winning the long rallies." The fifth game saw Palomar jumping on Mesa early and never letting go, as the Comets took the game and the match by a 15-9 score.
The Comets were led by the offensive dominance of Heidi Marcrander ( 15 kills) and Jeannette Buscemi ( 15 kills). "Last year they really took it to us, so it's really nice to know how much this team has improved," said setter Chane! Kaiwi. The win moved the Comets within a game of second place. "This helps our team in many ways," said Seiler. "It gives us the confidence to know that we can beat good solid teams, and if we can keep winning we can accomplish our goal of getting a playoff birth.''

Palomar Soccer won their 12th game of the season last Friday with a 5-0 victory over College of the Desert. Coming into the game against COD the Comets knew they had to turn it up a notch after their disappointing performance against Mesa College last Wednesday, that resulted in a 1- I tie. The Comets scoring attack was
back on track with Renato Vieria's goal on a free kick which gave Palomar the 1-0 lead eight minutes into the game. "I got lucky on the free kick and put it right up in the upper [corner]," said Vieria. "It was a real good shot." The remaining minutes of the first half featured to many missed opportunities by the Comets that could have given them a much larger lead going into halftime. "I think defensively we did well," said coach Carlos Hernandez. "We just have to play a little better as a team."
Palomar's Joaquin Valdez scored his first goal of the season to give the Comets the 2-0 lead with 35 minutes left in the second half. It was the incredible goal from Gerrardo Huerta's corner kick that put Palomar in a commanding 3-0 lead. Palomar took advantage of COD's rattled defense and within a minute of Huerta's goal, the Comet's Fernando Urban scored on an amazing shot that baffled goaltender German Perez and put Palomar up 4-0.
Robert Simovshi finished off the scoring with 12 minutes left, giving the Comets the 5-0 victory. "We didn't play that well today," said Palomar goaltender Peter Meza. "We are doing all right during the season,but we need to pick it up some and play a little harder." Hernandez said, "Overall, I'm pleased that we won, but I would like to see us play with a little more intensity." The Comets have a 7-01 conference record and are 12-0-1 overall. Palomar hosts conference rival Cuyamaca College today.
