National AIDS quilt displayed at Palomar Seanna Lee Staff Writer

Panels from the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt were di splayed at Palomar College's Boehm Gallery Nov. 27 as part of Palomar's AIDS Awareness Week. The quilt was brought to the gallery through the efforts of the San Diego chapter of the NAMES Project, North County AIDS Coalition, Associated Student Government, Inter-Club Council, and Palomar College staff and club volunteers. According to Charlie Fagan, assistant to the director at the gallery, approximately 325 people viewed the quilt panels. Fourteen 3by-6 foot panels, and one 12-by-12 foot panel were displayed in the gallery. All the panels hung in the gallery memorialized local victims of AIDS, and were put together by the friends or families of the deceased. Eventually, the smaller local panels wi ll be

shipped to San Francisco and patched together to form the larger 12-by-12 foot panels. Pam Webb of Student Health Services coordinated AIDS Awareness Week on campus. " It was the first time we did something like this on campus, and I think it went very well," Webb said . "I really appreciated the work of Charlie [Fagan] , [ASG Senator] Victoria Maddock, the Pre-Med Club, ICC and everyone else involved." Screenings of the film "Common Threads," an Oscar-winning documentary, were run in the gallery. The video traces four families who designed quilt panels. Ceramic artists Joanne Hayakawa and Mark Messenger's exhibits were obscured by black drapes during the quilt display . The artists' exhibits are at the gallery from Nov. 3 through Dec. 8. In addition to the quilt display, local community groups set up informational booths in the Student Union.

Curiosity sparked Palomar students to follow the arrow signs around Palomar's main campus to Truckin' Across America, sponsored by Jim Finney's GMC dealership, Nov. 29. For the third consecutive year, Jim Finney GMC sponsored the "General MotorsMarketinglnternship"programatPalomar College. . Interns put together the marketing event meant to entice students. This year students created a carnival scenario where students could win prizes by playing different games. The games were designed around six geographical areas: cities, mountains, desert, bayou and coastal, which were centered around the "Heartland," and "Jim's Truck Stop," where the prizes were given away. Kristina Woods, a student at Palomar, was brave enough to play the slime grab game that consisted of reaching into a bucket of green slime and pulling out a colorful plastic bug for points. "It was very slimy and disgusting, but it was kind of fun," said Woods.

Other games included tossing fake hands into a papier mache shark's mouth, ring tosses and flicking tiny plastic frogs into a kiddie pool. "It's fun. It's a neat thing for students to do when they're not in class, but it looks a little bit lame," said Ed Augustine, a Palomar student. Other highlights included a magician, face-painting, a mini-concert by Puddle Town Tom, drawings for prizes, an appearance by rock band Rhythm Attics and a pie-eating contest. Chris Oddo, one of the competitors in the pie eating contest said, "This is what football players do when we're not in class: we eat. Defensive linebackers are always eating." Some of the prizes given away included a ceiJular phone, tickets to Magic Mountain, a six-month memebership to the Family Fitness Center, gift certificates to a variety of restaurants, haircuts and a grand prize trip for two to Las Vegas. "All of the students involved in the program receive a valuable education and hands-on experience which will tremendously enhance their education," said Bonnie Dowd, associate professor of business education.

Palomar College's 50th Anniversary isn't the onry celebration going on this year. The Palomar Education Center at Mt. Carmel High School was founded 20 years ago this fall. An informal party was held in the faculty lounge at Mt. Carmel Nov. 28 to commemorate the center's anniversary. President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs, Mt. Carmel Principal Scott Fisher, and Mt. Carmel/Poway education centers Manager Nona McClure were among the speakers. Ralph Jensen , president of the Palomar College Governing Board, illustrated the impact the education center has had on the Rancho Penasquitos, Carmel Mountain Ranch and Sabre Springs communities, "One resident said he thought the evening classes (at Mt. Carmel) provided the best nightlife in town." Jensen presented Fisher and Poway Unified School District Assistant Superintendent Jim Abbott with a plaque in appreciation for Mt. Carmel's student and staff cooperation over the past 20 years. McClure, who has been with the center since 1983, provided a history ot the center and recognized some of the people involved with it over the years, a few of whom had been there from the center's beginning. In the spring of 1989, Palomar added an education center in Poway, largely due to lack of parking at the Mt. Carmel Center.

The center's enrollment is expected to top 3,000 for this coming semester. Palomar's Board of Governors held their meeting at Mt. Carmel following the celebration.

Universities acknowledge gays on campus EVANSTON, 111.-The scene seemed like any other alumni gathering: former classmates caught up on old times, while others networked, exchanging business cards. But in addition to each guest having graduated from the same college, the groupofNorthwestern Universityalumnigatheredrecentlyat aChicagorestaurantalsohadsomethingelsein common: they were gay. Increasingly, universities and colleges are ready to recognize their gay and lesbian population after years of ignoring the special needs of these alumni. "The college environment has changed in the last I 0 years," says Charles Katzenmeyer, chairperson of the I Oth reunion committee at Northwestern University. "Now, 30 bi-sexual or gay freshmen show up ready to be out at school, to be gay on campus-as 18 year-olds." Because this "openness" is a recent

sociological event, often older gay alumni say they feel disconnected from their colleges, "that their college and current lives don't mesh," says Katzenmeyer, "and we wanted to recognized these people." So following the lead of other universities, such as Harvard, Yale and Princeton, Northwestern University welcomed home their gay and lesbian alumni during Homecoming week this fall with the Inaugural Gay and Lesbian Alumni Reception. Morethan200peopleattendedthetwo-hour reception. "We were delighted with the turnout. There was a really diverse crowd and tremendous spirit in the room," says Katzenmeyer, "[Gay] alumni suddenly felt accepted." For the colleges, it's not bad for fund raising, either. Many prominent gay alumni who, prehomecoming had little or nothing to do with the university, now have taken an active

interest in the school, says Katzenmeyer. The New York thespian, Charles Busch, a Northwestern alumni, has even agreed to teach the occasional theater class. Also, by working with reunion participants, Northwestern has created a mentoringprogramanddatabasedesigned to network gay students and alumni. Recognizing gay alumni seems to be an idea whose time has come on many campuses. But considering the closeted years of the past, how do you know who to invite to reunions? Katzen meyer remarked, "On homecoming weekend, people re-learned of the event. The third step was we gave a bunch of invitations to people of all ages to give to their friends to pass along, and wellwordofmouthisprettypowerful.Wealso made special appeals to the local gay _ publications. Advertising was essential."

Local gang prevention experts speak in African studies class Francis T. Crowley

"It's just a bunch of talk. I want to see someone take action. I want to see someone give those kids hugs. That's what they need."

A gang prevention forum called "Saving Our Youth" was held in the Governing Board room Nov. 29, discussing gang problems in North County. This was the second presentation arranged by instructor Michael King as part of the African-Jennifer Cassidy American Studies I 02 history class.

He said ment and what can be done to the presence of a sheriffs substation has lowered the number of stem the problem in our cities. Hicks apologized for not bring- crimes by one third. There is also a task force which ing the gang members he said would accompany him, and explained their works with the students at the junior absence was necessary "because high school level. He also said that they didn't want to get caught the city's construction of a commuslippin' ,"the term for being caught nity gym next to the Boys and Girls' outside their home territory, which Club has given many youth a place is the reason for many gang-related to go each afternoon. He said studying history is important but studyshootings. Hicks, who counsels gang mem- ing our youth is our future. "I once met a gang member, who bers throughout Southern California, spoke of the "state of paranoia was labeled as a warlord. He was 15 many gang members live in. They or 16-years-old but you could see need someone to care about them. I there was a child inside of the adult just reach out and touch their lives," body," Smith said. The open forum brought disHicks said. Berk described various "asso- cussions and questions of the efciational movements" that are aimed fects of the media, politicians, at empowering people with the use educators and the police on memof economic cooperatives, health bers of society.

Jennifer Cassidy, a student in African-American Studies I 02, speaking a concern of many in the room, asked why persons such as Hicks are not more influential in convincing authorities of the needs to curb gang involvement') Hicks placed some of the blame on educators who don't care about students. "I once had a superintendent of schools tell me that you can't save every one of them,'' Hicks said , suggesting a sense of apathy. He also intimated that bureaucrats would rather ignore a problem then face the task of solving tt. "You have to work with all the kids, not just one segment." Hicks said. "You have Asians, Hispanics, blacks and whites who arc banging. A lot of time it is red tape which is keeping our kids from coming together," he added . "We need to get the family back together again. We need to teach the men how to be men. If people hate themselves, it's easy forthem to kill someone else," Hicks said. "It's justa bunch of talk," Cassidy said later. .. I want to see someone take action. I want to see someone give those kids hugs. That's what they need." "I've seen the gym in San Marcos go up," added Sherry Mirick, another student in the class. "The underlying problem is economics. If you don't offer people jobs, the work you do won't make a difference."

Online Encyclopedia arriving Palomar's library will take another step toward the information superhighway next semester when it becomes licensed for access to an online version of Encyclopedia Britannica. "Palomar is the first community college in the country to get this service," said library systems analyst Terry Gray. "Used in concert with the new automation system, students should get a more expansive research," Gray added. The new version of the encyclopedia will be available in the computer assisted instruction area. Students will be able to use the online service sometime before the start of the fall semester 1996. Students with an Internet account at

Cal State San Marcos will also be able to access the Encyclopedia Britannica, according to Gray. According to Britannica, the online service will be unlimited in size restrictions making graphics, sound and multimedia capability available in research. The system can also cross-reference other Internet sites. The encyclopedia will also be updated every four months, giving students access to the most recent information. "Encyclopedia Britannica is the pinhead of what's available on the Internet," Gray said. 'The encyclopedia should be your starting point to research." -Francis T. Crowley

Dream Day slated for Feb. 2 Palomar has begun organizing the college's annual celebration of ethnic diversity: "Dream Day." The planning committee, known as 'The Dream Team" recently announced the Third Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Dream Day celebration will take place Feb. 2 and 3. "This year's events will be bigger and better than last year's and the year before," said Committee Chair Tony Walker. This year's Dream Day theme is "Together We Dream"-meaning that only united do people achieve a world with "no color lines." The true meaningofDr. Martin Luther King's "Dream" is love and unity, according Laurie Masten, Palomar's marketing communications manager. Masten was asked to be a part of the Dream Team because Walker

feels the answer to Dream Day's low tum-out problem is marketing. He is planning a mass communication blitz, with Palomar's Graphic Communications, Educational Television and Public Information Departments. In the past years, Dream Day has experienced low turnout due to the event being held near Dr. King's birthday, which is during winter intersession. Zena Barnett, president of Pan African Student Movement, former student and Palomar graduate Robert Jenkins are also working on the event. Lastyear'seventfeaturedUCSD professor/author/poet Quincy Troupe and jazz saxophonist Hollis Gentry.

OPINION

Should Prop. 187 have been â&#x20AC;˘ Taxpayers spoke, judge ignored voters Chris Gleason Online Editor

Welcome to California-home of the brave and land of the freebies for illegals. Judge MarianaPfaelzer recently overturned major portions of California's infamous Proposition 187. Judge Pfaelzer says the overturn was due to Prop. 187 being an act to curb illegal immigration, which is Constitutionally the jurisdiction of the Federal Government. That was a poor leap in logic. This proposition was about trying to curb entitlement spending for people who have no legal right to be in this country, and that is totally within the jurisdiction of a state. Liberals claim that the proposition was mean-spirited, racially motivated and should be abolished outright. Tell it to people who bust their humps I 0 hours a day, six days a week, killing themselves to make ends meet. These people drive the economy of the entire country, but are constantly told that they don't do enough to contribute to society. Their only demand from the government is to spend tax money wisely. Then they're called racists for trying to enforce their demands. It is puzzling that so much hype is made

Do you agree with the judge who overturned Prop. 187?

about budget shortages for education and law enforcement, yet if anyone tries to trim the huge entitlement budget to fund these necessary and proper uses of tax money, there's an uproar from the liberal community. This attempt at budget-trimming doesn't even cut into the entitlements for legal residents. Where is the logic? The law-abiding residents are being punished, and the lawbreakers are being rewarded, all so liberal politicians can get re-elected. Liberals also claimed that people were trying to take food out the mouths of poor immigrant children because of some imagined hatred against Hispanics. Wrong. People who break their backs to feed their own children are tired of being forced to feed people who are here illegally. In this case, race is inconsequential. This is not a border issue or a racial issue, it is a fiscal issue. The hard-working people who fund it have the right to decide what is done with their money. Somehow, JudgePfaelzertwisted the truth and made this a border-control issue, which would be within the jurisdiction of the federal government. This decision, however, is nothing more than political posturing - a noname judge trying to make a name for herself done at the expense of Joe and Jane Q. Taxpayer. Judge Pfaelzer has placed her personal feelings ahead of those who fund these immoral programs, and made an illogical excuse to thwart the will of the people.

overturned~

â&#x20AC;˘ Prop. 187 was doomed from start Jenni Kendall SwjfWriter

Proposition 187 was an attempt to regulate who receives financial support from the California government that failed miserably due to the way it was presented. U.S . District Judge Mariana Pfaelzer recently ruled that immigration is a federal, not a state responsibility. Proposition 187 was blocked by lawsuits as soon as it was passed over a year ago. Originally, Proposition 187 was designed not to rid California of illegal immigrants, but to stir up the waters between Gubernatorial candidates Kathleen Brown and Pete Wilson. Thousands of new legal citizens enter the United States every year, yet anyone who doesn ' t look like they were born here would be harassed if this joke of a proposition had been successfully implemented. Most legal analysts knew that the initiative would never stand much of a chance in federal court. The general public simply saw Proposition 187 as a racist, upper-class, immigration initiative. "It won't affect me. By passing it, all those damn Mexicans won't get anything that they don't deserve." Like what? An education? How about adequate health care? "No, all they'll get from me and my country is a one-way trip back to Mexico."

Guess again folks. By passing this "immigration refom1 bill" the general public, did nothing for their beloved country. They didn't stop any flags from being burned, or hinder any babies from attaining their polio vaccines. All that happened by passing 187 was a lot of hatred and resentment which was exploited. And now some dumb politician is sitting high on the hog while we the public are under the sadly misguided impression that he is doing something to "improve California." Wilson describes Pfaelzer's decision as "very unfortunate" because it "frustrates the will of the people of California." Pfaelzer had no difficulty deciding that the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction when it comes to regulating immigration, guided by the Constitution. She wrote in her decision that passage of Proposition 187 reflected the "j ustifiable frustration" of California voters "with the federal government's inability to enforce the immigration laws effectively." The gentleman who wrote Proposition 187 doesn't even live in California, he lives in Arizona. His seemingly God-sent Proposition was really simply a ploy to get Wilson reelected, and it worked . Now the people, are paying for it to go through all the local, state and federal court systems to eventually be thrown out because it has been unconstitutional from the very beginning.

"No, because I feel something has to be done and this was the only available solution right now."

"No, because one person overturned the decision of the people as a whole."

"No, I don't. I don't think the judges should overturn the vote of the people."

"Even though I don't agree with 187, I don't think the judge had the right to change the people's vote."

"No, I don't agree because I feel we shouldn't waste our money on non-citizens. when we could be using the money on homeless people."

The Tony Award winning musical "Les Miserables" opens Dec. 6 at California Center for the Arts, Escondido.

Local actress rises to fame in 'Les Miserables' Liz Bennett Swff Writer

"Les Miserables" has been a top production for several years now, Gina Feliccia has been part of the majestic production for several years now. Feliccia graduated from Rancho Buena Vista High School in I 990. "I've been doing musical theater since I was I 3. The talent God gave me is my voice. I started auditioning for community theater, and I learned a lot there. I did a lot of high school plays. I was even in Palomar's musical 'Oliver,' said Feliccia. She was only 18 when she moved to New York to pursue her dreams of preforming. There she took private coaching in voice, dance and special acting lessons. "It is very hard and expensive to live in New York City. There were times when I didn't think I was ever going to get a break or find a job," said Feliccia. Prior to getting her big break in "Les Miserables" on Broadway, Feliccia worked as a make-up consultant for many different stores on Fifth Avenue. - "Jobs were scarce to be found anywhere. It was during the recession time, then boom, I got a call from Les Mis," said Feliccia as she recalled the harder times. Feliccia got her role in "Les Miserables" by auditioning for a casting agency. "They cast me as an

understudy for both Eponine and Cosette," said Feliccia. After the Broadway show, she was cast in the traveling production of .. Les Miserables" as Eponine for six months. Then she went back to California to try to break into the movie business, but was called back to star as Cosette. "For anyone who is trying to break into the theater business; be honest with yourself. Never give up studying. Techniques are constantly changing and you have to change with the Gina Feliccia times. You have to keep yourself in top shape," said Feliccia. "Les Miserables, " a three and a half hour production runs Dec. 610 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. On the one day that the cast has off, they are putting together a benefit show, "Les Mis Fights for Life!" to raise money for the American Cancer Society. All the proceeds will go to cancer research. Student tickets for the benefit show can be purchased for $I 0. The benefit show will consist of over 25 Les Miserables cast members as they perform a variety of songs. For information on the benefit show or for ordering tickets call 299-4200.

iving Christmas gifts doesn't have to be an expensive experience. The first rule in choosing a gift for someone should be the recipient's needs and interests. For instance, giving a Palomar student $20 with a note attached saying the money is for next semester's p~rking permit would make an excellent gift. A practical gift means a lot more than a department store's dollar value. Often, a homemade gift or craft made from the heart appears more thoughtful. Here are some ideas to jump start your imagination.

Toys under $20

For early school age When it comes to buying toys for children, it pays to buy basics.

For toddlers • Giant Construction Blocks, by Constructive Playthings ($15 .95). These giant cardboard blocks look like red bricks. They are great for sparking a child's creativity. • Beads on Wire Toys, by Anatex and Edco ($20 and up). Colorful beads of various sizes and shapes can be moved around the twisted wires, thus capturing the fun in counting.

For preschoolers • Mega Blocks, by Rivtik ($1 0 and up). Oversized plastic pegged blocks, some sets come with wheels and angled pieces, create hours of fun. · • Sesame Street Puppets, by Applause ($15 and up). Children will love playing with their favorite characters. This is a great gift for

• Lincoln Logs, by Playschool ($1 0) are part of the great American tradition. They allow a child to express creativity and build a house of their own. • Lego Basic Building Sets ($4.49 to $28.99). It is impossible to go wrong with Legos. Kids can create their own designs or follow the instructions on the box. Legos generally come with a mix of colorful bricks, wheels, doors and miniature figures. • Stamp-A-Story Adventures, by All Night Media ($19.50). Perfect for illustrating child-made story books and creating cartoon strips. • Star Wars figures ($5), by Hasbro Toy Group. • Barbie ($12), by Mattei. Barbie is still one of the favorites for children. • Hot Wheels cars ($1 ), by Mattei. • Crayola Crayons ($1 ), from Binney and Smith.

The vast number of choices include calendars with celebrities, television shows, scenery, comic strips and more. • Computer disks Computer disks are rapidly becoming man's best friend because they store a lot of information in such a tiny space.

cflan. a.lr.ea.rl. hefo'C.e ea.ti.na ou.t esides making reservations., here are some tips for making any dining experience more pleasurable, especially since restaurants tend to get busy during the holidays. • Be patient when your table is not ready, even if you made reservations. It's beyond the restaurant's control when other

customers are still eating. Realize that most restaurants are trying to accommodate all their customers. • If you're trying out a restaurant for the first time, you may want to sample the food at lunch before bringing your guests for dinner. • If you preview the prices on

a menu and your eyes pop out, the restaurant is not for you. It's better to find a cozy, restaurant where you feel comfortableand familiar with the menu. • Does the potential restaurant offer dishes for particular eating habits? Try to plan ahead if there are children or vegetarians in your party. -Daniel Kwan

OPINION 7

Right Off The Bat

Journalism class is not that bad after all One of the first places I go when I'm strapped for writing ideas is my journal. In fact. one of the only reasons I keep a journal at all is because. more often than not, I have to scrounge around looking for topics on which to wnte. The last Telescope deadline of the semester was fast approaching. and I had promised a column for our Opinion editor, Angela Logan. I decided to read through my journal entries from the past few months and try to throw together 400 words about how my (hypothetical) boyfriend dumped me, my mom kicked me out of the house, or some other travesty that befell me over the past few months. I was surprised that I didn't find anything. Not only has the fall semester been good for me, but I've actually enjoyed coming to school every day for the tirst time since, well, my first few months here (Spring 1994 ), when college life was fresh, new and exciting. I did stumble across a theme starting with my entries around July. Back then, I wasn't sure that having changed my major from music to journalism/political science was such a brilliant decision. From July 13: "I'm still not sure about writing for The Telescope ... if I join the staff and have a miserable time, where does that leave me (i n terms of a career)?" If I don't count a couple years of flirting with the idea of a singing career, I've wanted to be a journalist since I was I 0 years old. My concern was legitimate. What if I joined the staff and hated it? What if it were the worst experience of my life? Fortunately, I received a few pep talks from my younger (and infinitely wiser) sister and decided to try reporting. I figured if there were no way I could tolerate it, I could go back to music and be a waitress/singer-hoping-to-be-discovered (hey, it worked for Mariah Carey.) I didn't mention anything about The Telescope in my journal in August or September. mostly because I was so busy writing for The Telescope that I had no time to write anything else (including several history and economics papers). But I did find one reference to my time on the paper--one little sentence tucked away on Oct. 12: "I am so ticked off at myself for not joining the paper sooner!" Like, maybe a year ago when I changed my major. My first journal entry of winter vacation will probably read something like this: Dec. 15, ·'School's out. No more deadlines, late night copy-editing sessions, interviews that never came through ... God. what am I going to do for five weeks?"

Bob Dole just doesn't get it Kate Nelson Malllll{ill[iEditor

Republican presidential candidate and selfappointed defender of moral interests Robert Dole continued his tirade against the entertainment world this week. The movie he condemned this time was the new Wesley Snipes-Woody Harrelson vehicle "Money Train." Dole claims that the movie inspired a recent attack in a New York subway where a worker in a token booth was set ablaze. Dole denounced the movie and urged moviegoers to boycott it in order to send a message to makers of violent films. One thing Dole failed to mention was that there have been nine similar attacks on subway workers in the past few years, before "Money Train" was even released. This is not the first time Dole has attacked Hollywood. His first allegation came this spring when he condemned violence in movies, targeting another Harrelson movie, "Natural Born Killers," as a morally bereft motion

Troops sent to Bosnia for many reasons As America prepares to send 20,000 troops to the Balkans, the public continues to debate the wisdom of Clinton's decision to again send troops into a potentially deadly situation. Long-term effects must be considered. The peace in the area is shaky at best, but warring factions will think twice about opening fire at U.S. Marines instead of women and children. Using NATO troops will be a deterrent to the two sides breaking the cease-fire. The lives saved are enough justification-b1,1t not the only justification. After all this has passed, most of Eastern Europe will have a rather large political favor to pay back to the United States. This is where the true benefit lies.

Thinking that anything done by hi ghlevel government for purely altruistic reasons is naive. There may be humanitari~n reasons, but in reality, NATO and the United States will be looking for a way to take advantage of the situation. The advantage would be that the favor owed to the United States could be redeemed in avoiding future wars. By calming the area, the United States will have political clout to sway governments and to keep them in line by the threat offorceorbreakupofthe alliance. This is the same kind of situation that took place in the Persian Gulf. Remember when Iraq started bombing Israel during the Gulf War? The United States. was able

If criminals sec a way to make money, and become famous for doing it, they will commit a crime. They won'tdo it just because a movie told them to. If Dole really wants to decrease violence, why doesn't he support community centers which keep kids off the streets and give them an alternative to joining a gang? Attacking makers of violent films is not a surefire way to decrease violence. Getting out with the public and seeing what's causing them to be violent (drug use, unsafe schools, etc.) and fix those problems. If Dole took the time to see what his nation's real problems are, and not go on the advice on one of his aides who saw the new Oliver Stone movie over the weekend, he i a in the violence that is destroying our country from inside.

So is Sylvester Stallone. As is Chuck Norris. These men became famous making movies where they pummel, kick, shoot and otherwise mangle other human beings-just the type of values politicians should support. Once again, Dole just doesn't get it. Or maybe he does. By railing against Hollywood, he almost automatically will garner a mention in the newspapers. This free publicity is priceless for his presidential campaign. Plus, Dole is gaining points with the ultraconservative religious right, whose support he desperately needs. But Dole's energies directed toward filmmakers are wasted.

ENTERTAINMENT RoaRing wirh passion â&#x20AC;˘ With Director Michael Mufson at the helm, comes the premiere of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' Liz Bennett Sw.ffWriter

Howard Brubeck Theatre rings in the holiday spirit with "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." The play is about four children who find themselves swept into a magical land through a wardrobe closet. Narnia, the majestic land, has had a spell cast over it by the witch. The witch, who is fascinated with the color white, has cast a spell on Narnia so it is always winter. The four children are all part of a prophecy to end the treacherous spell put on Narnia. All four of the children, "Two sons of Adam, and two daughters of Eve" must sit together at the stone table to end the curse that the witch has put on Narnia. "All the magic of the story is brought through the cast as they work off of the energy that is produced from the world of 'The Lion,

The Witch and The Wardrobe,"' said Ivy Young, who plays Lucy. The children each have their own personal characters, each characteristic is a significant part of the story. Lucy is the humble and meek one, who is always trying to do good and helpful things. Susan, played by Carey Hermanns, is the motherly type. She is always thinkingahead for possible consequences. Edmund, played by Mark Zufelt, is the rebellious one. He is always thinking of himself and worried about what his brothers and sisters have. Peter, played by David Recher, is the mature brother. He is calm, cool and collected. ''I have been extremely impressed with Mike's work with the cast. He has taken a very difficult piece and completely brought it to life for the holiday season," said Jeff Herron, who plays Asian, the king of Narnia.

Dec. 1-2 and Dec. 7-9 at 7 p.m. Dec. 10 at 2 p.m. Prices: General admission $9; for senior citizens, military and staff$7; and for students with i.d. $5. All performances at Howard Brubeck Theatre. The play is captivated by indelible effects. The actors pull off a great deal of wound-up passion with their voice projection and actions. "It's amazing how the cast is transformed into animals through costumes and character makeup," said Kristine Lemasters, who plays one of the wolves. "Th is has been a really exciting project for my first production at Palomar. I've really enjoyed bringing together such a diverse cast to create something so significant," said Michael Mufson, director.

AH YEAH: Buck-0-Nine is keyed to the bree â&#x20AC;˘ Word up from Buck-0-Nine: Stringers Jonas Kleiner and Scott J(ennerly lay down some jive Brad Rubin Enterwinment Editor

Greg Skinner I The Telescope

Buck-0-Nine's Jon Pebsworth douses the crowd with a flammable liquid in the drippy midst of another classic $1.09 ska revival at SOMA Live Nov. 22.

Hey bros, those dudes in Buck 0 Nine have something to say. "Don't dis us muthaf-----," threatens Scott Kennerly, bassist for San Diego's undoubtely most popular all-ages band. And why not? Buck-0-Nine plays an incredibly infectious brand of ska that ranges from post 2 Tone stepson material off of "Key Of Bree" to the more hodgepodge tangent found on "Barfly" cuts such as "On A Mission" and "Full Metal Bree." The kids soak up the ultra-catchy junkfood like one encompassing collective sponge and by the indication of countless sold-out shows, and local awards they seem to be an unstoppable train. But cautions predictably Jonas Kleiner, "I just feel the same old Jonas. I'm just in a band and that I love and I love the music we write. It's like having six, seven of your best friends and just enjoying their company." While conceding such a response as cliched is true but it's a point well made by a band that has been doing the ska thing a few years and playing eons and eons of live gigs. At thisstageofthe band Buck-0-Nine is at the crossroads where their enormous local popularity may spill out on the Wherchouse sale racks and increasingly outside of Southern California any day now. "There's pockets around the country, packs of kids who know who we arc," says Jonas speaking of the Salt Lake area, Denver, Florida, ''but it's not a consistent thing." "Some places suck-Georgia. We played with a ska band and they opened for us-A total of 90 people showed up to the showand it was a decent-sized all-ages venue. Right after these guys stopped about 75 of those people cut. Imagine 15 bystanders witnessing a healthy dose of the skank goods that the band has steered into two different records both in sound and approach. 1994's "Key Of Bree"

which was licensed to Immune Records for two years with the recording coming out of the band's loose finances, travels a distinctly more traditional post-Specials outlook. The punk influences found on "Barfly" rub the richter scale ever so gently on just a couple of tracks like the club anthem "King of the Box" or the anti-arena poseur rock, "Don't Wanna Be No (Jon Bon Jovi)." "Bands like Warrant, their sole purpose was to be T.V. heroes. 'Don't Wanna Be No(J.B.J)' is a reminder of the bands who suck the c--- of corporate rock," says Jonas. In the midst of not one but two planned trips to Europe, the band's immediate goals locally is to play "as many cool shows as possible" including the SOMA New Years Eve 19 band punk-fest. Buck-0-Ninc and the all-ages moniker is all to familiar but 21-and-up shows arc not out off the realm of possibility and the band remarks on the sharp differences in vibes between clubs with no brew and clubs with a multitude of brews. "When your at a bar your main motivation iS' to try to get f----- up on alcohol-sweat as many freaks as possible," says Jonas. Scott offers, "That's what everybody else is doing in the clubs-drink , get laid, the drunkest people arc the most into it." According to Scott, Jonas and drummer Steve Bauer, who occassionally popped his head in the door. the band isn't the huge and impersonal outfit some of their die-hard fans may fear they're becoming. The 9-to-5ers are still the key to paying off that un-godly San Diego rent. But hey, a little MTV wouldn't be exactly a nail in the indie coffin as some would have it. While a ska buzz-bin may be a few years away, Scott says a little big brother backing wouldn't have to ruin anything. Concludes Jonas, "We're looking for that swell that's going to produce that 4th wave, or the 6th wave of the set, of the 21st century, or some shit like that."

Glow Skulls rock on hard Brad Rubin Entertainmefll Editor

Greg Skinner I The Telescope

Gwen Stefani of No Doubt pours out some soul at SOMA Uve Nov.22. No Doubt, mixing ska, reggae, rock and a touch of punk, gave the crowd plenty for 45 minutes.

Without extending too much lavish praise. the Voodoo Glow Skulls rule. But, before one embarks on a pilgrimage to the band's temple in Riverside, it is rather the sound of the Glow Skulls that is king. The great, heavy, ska-punk diatribe was linked together by 25 different pegs at Sunset Boulevard's intimate Whisky A Go Go Nov. 18. At the outset of the concert the mood is, "whoah, this concert kicks ass."The tounge-in-cheek tribute to Ozzy, "Insubordination," was unleashed with the rhythms that dream of Jeannie. It was at this point where the show was at nirvana but as the show went on it wore old. The schizo, fiery brass and the skinny strings had yet to pound the skacore sound in the ground. The salad dressing at the bar began to sour and turn color after "El Coo cooi" and "Dogpile" midway through the hour set. Without the horn section VGS is just another punk band. This critique is somewhat contrasting to an earlier review which ascertained the Glow Skulls new release, "Firme," as "the closest

thing to innovative hardcore around." Innovative is a subjective description and in this context the Glow Skulls innovation is as leader of the hodgepodge "4th wave." No, band can spew pure, aggro, voodoo noise the way the Glow Skulls can and that is their reigning banner. Watching from a journalistic afar. the frantic, enveloped pit suggested the ·'glow skullers" were skankin to the funky beat. Actually there was not as much groovin; the moshing scene was in full swing leaving little space for the rude boys and girls. Perhaps the band's more thrashing ska rhythms are not as suited for the traditonal song and dance normally reserved for 2 Tone style ska. Inching back to the sold-out show, the band paid equal tribute to 1993's "Who Is, This Is?" as well as the new Epitaph sell-out record.

How to â&#x20AC;˘ People Forever International founders Charles Paul Brown, BernaDeane and James Russell Strole try to reirtvent the meaning of life through immortality Steven Zivanic Feature Editor

Are you a mere mortal? Oh, you are. Well, have you dreamed of eternal life? Life without boundaries, life free from the sentence of death? Well, these days you don't have to wait to get your feet into the gates of heaven. Just join the immortals right here on earth. Formerly known as the Flame Foundation, People Forever International originated in 1971 in Scottsdale, Ariz. in an attempt to bring together immortals from all walks of life. The founder of the organization, Charles Paul Brown, said he awakened to physical immortality in 1960, while working as an ordained Christian minister. According to Brown's book 'Together Forever," Brown realized that humans were living far below their true potential, and that physical immortality was everyone's true birthright. He said he felt that people should let go of age-old belief systems that have created division and conflict within humankind. Brown believes that death is not natural, even though it has been the norm until this time. According to Brown, death has been imposed upon the body. Once this imposition is removed, the body has the ability to function in its true natural state, which is constant rejuvenation. From 1960-1971 Brown traveled extensively throughout the United States in hope of awakening many others to their "true state of being." Today, along with his wife BernaDeane and senior immortal James Russell Strole, the

organization has grown to over 500 members, with people from as far as Tel Aviv, London and Auckland joining in the ongoing quest for immortality. According to Strole, the seed of physical immortality is already present within us all-one just has to know how to bring the seed to proper growth. Âˇ "The only thing that can release the life energy of immortality is giving ourselves I 00 percent to each other. Until we do that, there will be no peace on this planet, there will never be the prosperity that all humankind dreams of, much less the ending of death. We must fuse and give ourselves I00 percent to each other in that nourishment and that love. That is the immortal love that ends death," Strole said. Strole said he joined the organization in 1968 because he wanted to see an end to death on this planet. He said that his curiosity with immortality began as a small child. "I would ask my mother 'Why can't we Iive forever on earth? Why do we have to die and go to heaven?' Of course, she told me the so-called scientific reason why, but it wasn't good enough forme. From that point on, I had a real inspiration throughout my life to seek out the essence of immortality and to make a difference," Strole said. A man who calls himself simply "David," said that the reason people die is because of their "appointment with death." To solve the problem of death, David said he "dropped" his appointment, and in conjunction, "all of the really bad stuff in life just went away." "When I became an immortal, I stopped

The feeling of immortality is just great. I'm already hiring caterers for my party at the turn of the century. I'm already making schedules for 3,000 years from now. I'm even making them for a million years from now. I see myself enjoying life 10 million years from now, fishing by a stream," David said. "The immortals will be around forever. If planet earth disintegrates-or World War III happens-all of the immortals wi II just pack their bags and move away to another planet. We do everything together. "Actually, I'm surprised that the whole country is not immortal; it's the most natural thing there is. After all, nobody parties better than immortals do," David added. Collin Smith, who left London with his family and moved to Scottsdale so that he could be around his fellow immortals, said that he feels very fortunate to have found a group of people who share his views. "It's great to have someone else in the world who shares your beliefs. Before I met James Strole, I kept saying over and over to myself thatlifesucks. I figured, if I'm only going to die, then why do I bother even doing anything in life. I've got to be immortal. I was just going

mad, and sometimes I would scream really loud all night. I would scream and scream and scream and say this is wrong. But now, I find that living without the thought of death gives a totally different color to your life," Smith said. "It pains me to see all of these people, young and old, planning their death. They've got their grave all taken care of, they've already mapped out who they're giving their money to, and all this really just takes away from their lives. The only life that I will ever know is my life. The only existence in this world is from me. Ifl stop, the world stops," Smith said. People Forever International frequently holds conventions across the globe and even sets up shop in San Diego two or three times per year. Seminar attendance fees can range from $210 to $895, however Strole maintains that people forever is a non-profit organization. "Charles, BernaDeane and I are moving around the planet. We go to San Diego, Los Angeles, Israel, Caracas, Germany and Australia. We would like to invite people from all over the world to become physically immortal. It's a great feeling to say you can sec yourself 1,000 years from now. I won't be in the same form; I will be in some better, more advanced form-we all will; otherwise we're not going to be here," Strole said.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. I hate excuses. You wouldn ' t believe the ones I've heard this week. But as much as I hate them, I can ' t help but make some for my beloved Chargers. Thi s year was supposed to be so great. We were going to shock the world, again. We started off alright. After the first four weeks of the season we were 3-1. Then the roof caved in . It wasn't the Chargers fault though. First of all, the schedule we got was crap. San Diego was the losing team in the Super Bowl and we were given the toughest schedule in the league. San Francisco on the other hand, they were given the fourth toughest. I wi sh the Chargers would have gotten to play Carolina and New Orleans tw ice . N o, we get stuck with Oakland, Miami , Pittsburgh, and Da llas . Second, the injuries were just to much to overcome. From the start we lost our starting cornerback, Darien Gordon. He may not be Deion but, he was the best we had. In only two seasons of play "Flash" was already making a little name for himself and he was expected to be a Pro-Bowl candidate at the end of this season. Stan Humphries was having his best game of the season when the Bolts played Kansas City on Monday Night Football. At the time we were 3-2 and were about to upset the Chiefs on national television. But Stan the man went down late in the fourth quarter and San Diego couldn ' t move the ball in overtime. The result, the Chargers had to punt to Tammarik Vanover. End of story. When Natrone Means pulled his groin on the first possession against Miami, the Chargers were 4-4. Since then we've gone 1-3. San Diego's offense is built around Means, a pro bowler in '94. Third, the disappearance of the run defense. Chris Mims lived up to his nickname this offseason. "The Fat Doctor" didn't even bother to -eome to the Chargers offseason workouts and came to training campextremely overweight. He has spent all season trying to catch up with everybody else physically and in the process has basically given other teams a free lane to run the ball. David Griggs' death didn't help either. This tragedy left San Diego without an outside linebacker and forced them to throw an inexperienced inside linebacker to the outside. Lewis Bush has played hard but, he's not David Griggs. This is not a team full of pushovers. The Chargers are just as good as any other team in the league. We will make the playoffs. We will go deep into the playoffs. If not, then life has no meaning.

Victor Valley Rams blow through Comets~ 86 63 Rick Martinez Sports Editor

After dropping their first two games of this still young season, the Victor Valley Rams came to the Dome Wednesday night looking to get on the winning track. What they found was a Comet team that seemed commited to committing turnovers and forcing bad shots. The end result was an 86-63 VVC win. Despite being on the losing end, it was Palomar who opened the game on a high note. After exchanging buckets to start the game the Comets rolled off a 7-0 run. The Rams responded with a 25-3 clip, establishing a lead that they would never relinquish. Palomar's only points during the run was a three point play by center Kriquett Wafford . Wafford led all scorers in the first half with 13 points. Angie Lee's five rebounds and two steals in the half provided one of the few defensive bright spots for the Comets who found themselves down 43-30 at the break. The game turned into the Toni Thompson show as soon as the second half was under way. Vi ctor Valley 's sparkplug o f a guard torched Palomar for 24 points to go along with 5 rebounds and did it all

with a smile reminisant of Earvin Johnson's. "We had a team meeting," said Thompson. "We talked and we said we need to just have fun. "We said were going to have fun, be aggressive, and come out excited." With a grin stretching from ear to ear, Thompson along with point guard Diana Sullivan built the Rams lead to as much as 24 points midway through the second half. According to Thompson it was VVC's free-stlye method of play that accounted for the Rams impressive outing. "The first two games we had plays," said Thompson. "The Coach realzed it wasn't working. [Now] when we go out, we just play basketball." Unfortunatley for Palomar, defence was also a strong point for the Rams on this night. Wafford was held to 5 points in the second half and despite the best efforts of Angie Lee and Livian Cole who dominated the boards in the tina! half, combining for 19 overall, the Comets were unable to generate any offense. Palomar could only manage to pull to within 17 points of the Rams who ran out the clock and handed the Comets the 23 point loss.
