Cindy Rodenhizer, program direc.tor ofKKSM, said that the change to the AM frequency will be very positive for Palomar. "It will really put the college name out there a lot, because (it's) going to go along with all our publicity. It makes the college look like they're innovative, and not afraid to give the students a chance. Here they promote education and then actually let us use that education. It's a very rare opportunity for all of us."

Branch said he is very optimistic about changing KKSM's music format from Alternative, a college

Extra fee for bachelor's degree holders dropped Jeff Vize Co-Editor in Chief

For more than I ,200 Palomar students, the start of the spring semester last week brought a new discount price for tuition: 75 percent off.

The new prices, exclusively for Students with four-year degrees, come thanks to the Jan. I expiration of California's community college bachelor's degree differential fee. But even with the discount, these students will sti II be paying standard prices.

For the last three years, the unpopular fee required California community colleges to charge students with bachelor's degrees $50 per unit, instead of the normal $13.

According to the admissions office, the fee adversely affected Palomar and other community colleges throughout the state.

After the fee was implemented, Palomar's enrollment of students with bachelor's degrees decreased by 40 percent.

Now that the fee has been dropped, students are coming back.

As of Jan. 29, Palomar reported I ,261 students enrolled with bachelor's degrees. Last fall, only 878 enrolled.

Even with the increase, this spring's number is down from years past, according to school records. Before the fee was implemented in Lee 1993, Palomar averaged nearly 2,000 students with bachelor's degrees per semester.

Despite this, Herman Lee, Palomar's director of enrollment services, is not concerned.

"I expect the number of students with bac)lelor's degrees to increase to at least the number it was at before," said Lee. "It will just take a while for the information about the fee's expiration to get out."

One student taking advantage of the fee's expiration this semester is Dennis Marchuck.

Marchuck, who holds a bachelor's

degree in photography from Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, left Palomar in 1992 because he couldn't afford to pay the increased fees.

He returned this semester to take some programming classes that he hopes may lead to a career change. Marchuck's I 0 units cost him $130. Last semester, they would have been $500. ''I'm kind of switching gears right now and looking into possibly getting a master's degree," said Marchuck. "Palomar's classes are good because they will transfer and they're cheaper [than a private school or fouryear university]."

Students like Marchuck are the type that Palomar College is glad to see return, according to President/Superintendent Dr. George Boggs.

Although officials estimate the loss of the differential fee may end up costing the state $5 million in lost revenue annually, Boggs is glad to see it go.

In his mind, the fee stopped

Speaking up in class: Are women DAVIS, Cali f.-Ever notice that woman sitting next to you in class, the one who does not participate in class discussions, or who tries to talk but is not recognized by the instructor? Her problem may be more than just a case of the nerves.

According to University of CaliforniaDavis Women's Resources and Research Center Director Robin Whitmore, many female students' reluctance to speak up in class is a result of years of subtle discrimination.

"By the time a female student comes to college, she has experienced 12 years in a classroom setting," she said. "Her behavior becomes a patterned and unconscious."

Whitmore said that even in classes with mostly female students, men are often given more speaking time proportionally.

"Susan," a UCD teaching assistant who

preferred to remain anonymous, agreed that women do not speak up as much in class as men do.

"I see males assuming a right to speak, and I'm concerned about it," she said.

"Once, I decided to stay out of the class discussion and let the debate go. What happened was that four men were talking about gender and the women's voices were silenced without an intermediary."

The classroom environment may encourage male-dominated participation, Whitmore said.

"Classrooms are set up to be more competitive, and men are comfortable with that kind of situation," she said. "Women wait and take time to process information and formulate their answers--clearly, there are exceptions to the rule."

Whitmore added that women's meth-

quieter~

ods for answering questions differ from those of men.

"Women tend to raise their hands while men are more willing to shout out answers, which means there are more male responses," she said.

UCD sophomore Tuwanna Peters said that she sees this type of behavior occurring in some of her classes.

"Women are more respectful and don't blurt out," she said. "Often women will try to speak up, but the teacher will call on guys."

According to UCD Italian lecturer Jay Grossi, women speak up as much as men in class.

"In my class, it seems to be pretty equal," he said. "Often women are more talkative than men because I find they study more."

KKSM: New format features reggae, rock Continued from Page 1 mainstay, to Adult Album Alternative, which has a more lucrative demographic , in the 25-49 age bracket. In preparation for the switch to AM, KKSM is now playing about 80percentAAA music . Branch said that the format change has been well-received.

"Some of the students who I iked Alternative haven't liked it. and I was amazed to hear very few people complain . A couple of people came up today, wan ting to know when we would start piping down into the Student Union again, because they'll walk by the station and hear it and like it," said Branch.

Rodenhi zer said she is pleased with the format change. ''I'm very excited about it. It's actually a format I've been in love with for several years, before it was really happening. Then our music director, David Queen, came along, and said he knows that music, so we let him run with it, and it's been unbeliev- · able."

Rodenhizer said the AAA format appeals to li steners who are seriously interested in music. "It's more for the people that are more knowledgable in music, that are aware of what's happening in the music scene, want to hear what's happening in the music scene, not just to turn it on to hear banging drums and electric guitars."

The new format includes a wide variety of music ranging from reggae to classic rock, and brand new music, said Rodenhizer. "We'll be playing things like Tori Amos, all the way down to old Bonnie Raitt and the Beatles." KKSM Music Director David Queen added, "You' II be able to hear an old Doors song, and then Jewel and then Frank Black. I don't think there's any format in San Diego that can do that, certainly not in college."

KKSM 's new format will include Alternative, but has been expanded to encompass more types of music.

KKSM-AM 1320 will broadcast from 6 a .m.-6 p.m., MondayFriday, with the hours from 6 p.m.6 a.m. automated. Blocks of programming will also be sold to advertisers or other radio broadcasters. On weekends, KKSM will broadcast blocks of special programming. The signal will be simulcast on both DCR and on the AM frequency.

Branch said that eventually KKSM will split up into two broadcasts, using the DCR sig nal as a training gro und for radio newcomers, while the adva nced st udents broadcas t on the AM frequency.

Queen said music that used to be called alternative, such as Green Day, Bad Religion and the Offspring is now Top 40 music, because everyone buys it. He said that KKSM will play music by truly alternative bands. "We ' re going to have all sorts of new music. There (are) bands likel6 Horsepower, I don't know how to define what they do."

Queen added that KKSM wi II not completely turn its back on alternative music. He said he will host an indie show on KKSM , and play music from local bands like Rocket from the Crypt and Chune.

DSPS staff and students to spend semester in trailers • Closure of 'sick' IT building forc~s displaced tenants to seek refuge in temporary TS facilties Catharine Hines Staff Writer

A three-week temporary move from the Disabled Student Programs and Services building to the TS modular unit is turning into a difficult five-month hiatus for DSPS students and staff.

The move follows last spring's rains, which leaked into the DSPS building and caused the growth of a common mold. When DSPS students and staff began turning up sick, a representative from Sharp, Rees and Stealy Medical Group ordered the temporary exodus to the 12 foot by 42foot TS modularunituntil the problem could be resolved. Now further relief for the DSPS may be on the way.

Lise Telson, dean of Student Support Programs, recently submitted floor and wall plans to the facilities department for a permanent DSPS facility to be located in the IT building. The plans include recommendations from DSPS staff members.

"They are very detailed plans with plenty of space for wheelchairs and private offices and a quiet testing area," said Telson .

Telson said DSPS won't move back to the old building and her priority is getting the program out

OPINION Is MTV the place for Dole to

• Criticism shauld be equal for both parties Shari Vaughn Swff Writer

The hypocri sy of the liberal mind never ceases to amaze. Put President Bill Clinton on MTV, give him five minutes , a troubled expression and the liberals will rave about how much Clinton cares about Americans-young and old.

Then they put Sen. Bob Dole on MTV, give him his time and what do you hear? "Who does Dole think he is anyway? He doesn't really expect us to believe that, does he?" Or "There goes Dole again. Now he's even catering to the generation Xers.

What a sham."

Hello, there is a concept in America known as freedom of speech. If Dole wants to go out and tell the squirrels in the trees about his plans for the presidency it is his God-given right, and he should go for it.

Freedom of speech does not suddenly become invalid simply because people do not agree with what a person is saying. If that were true, conservative viewers could say that a good deal of television news broadcast· ing is unconstitutional.

Oh, but I have forgotten myself. In America there is no such thing as swinging too far to

Should Bob Dole have appeared on MTV?

the left. On the contrary, one is encouraged by the media, the school system, etc. to swing as far left as possible. However, anything to the right of good ol' wishy-washy Ross Perot is considered one step away from fascism.

The beauty of freedom of speech is that everyone has the right to express themselves in the form of speaking and writing. Therefore , to say that Dole is a fake , that his appearance on MTY is completely poll oriented and he didn't mean a word of it is a right I will support. <::ritics though, should go through the trouble to cite specific examples. Listen tp what he had to say , examine it, find its pitfalls and criticize him for those. Don'tjudge him just because he chose to express his ideas on MTV . Don't change the rules because he is Dole, ratherthan Clinton or Vice PresidentAl Gore or any other liberal. so he doesn't have the right to express himself in this manner.

I support the right of anyone to disrespect Dole, to say he is a liar, and that he doesn't belong on MTV. I support freedom of speech for all liberals in whatever propaganda they choose to hurl at me. So, I hope they, in return, wi II concur that I have a right to voice my opinion, whether they agree with it or not.

So, I believe Dole has every right to appear and campaign on any show he wants, whether it be MTV or Geraldo.

The messages any politician chooses to deliver are what we the people need to be paying attention to, not the form of media they choose to get those messages across.

Campaign~

• Reality check is in Dole's future Linda Isakson Swff Writer

People 18-25 years old represent one of the largest population in the U.S., yet are the least likely to vote.

Politicians have started encouraging youth voting by using flashy advertising. While some publicity has been positive, there should be a limit on how far politicians can go.before they make fools of themselves .

Bob Dole, front-runner for the Republican party, recently appeamd on MTY and conducted an interview with Tabitha Soren. He spoke of experiences he felt made him qualify as "youth friendly ."

The interview seemed forced and awkward. Dole is 72 years old-about 50 years older than the average MTV viewer. In the interview he said, " .. .I find age has not been an issue." Oh, but Mr. Dole, it is a major issue.

How is a 72-year-old conservative supposed to help the youth of this country when many of his campaign platforms are going to hurt the very people he claims he is trying to help?

Based on limited income, many students are dependent upon student loans and grants from the government. Yet, as part of the Republican platform to balance the budget,

student loan subsidies will be cut dramatically. How is that "youth friendly"?

Affirmative Action has helped millions of America's best and brightest excel in college and eventually in the work place. So why does he campaign for the termination of these programs, if he is so "hip" to the needs of young people?

Dole ' s decision to appear on MTY was based on greed, not sincerity. He may appeal to some young voters because of the fatherly (or grandfatherly) persona heradiates, but what does he have in common with people 50 years younger than he?

How is he supposed to know our reality when he lives in his rich house-on-a-hill? Shouldn't young people be exposed to candidates with something helpful to offer?

Dole should try to make an effort to see how the MTV viewers he was trying to reach are living, and what is really important to them. He is likely to find a suprisingly different reality than the one he and his fellow senior citizens live in.

Maybe spending a day with an average young person would help to open his eyes to other societies that exist. Understanding can only come through experience.

Dole needs to make up his mind about whom he wants to help. If he wants to help young people, that's fine, but he shouldn't say one thing and do the opposite.

"No. Dole's views are different from those of Generation Xers.

They are more negative than positive."

"No, because he is trying to deceive young voters into believing he is trying to build a country for our future, but he's not."

"I think it's good that he is trying to appeal to our generation, but he is an old- fart politician just out for votes."

"Yes, because it's a free country, and it gives him a platform to express his views."

"I feel MTV is entertainment for the young audience, and we need to be informed about about what is going on, but Dole's views are onesided and hypocritical."

OPINION 7

Represenlal:Wes need to grow up, play nice Once again the boys in charge in Washington D.C. have proven that just because they have grown older doesn't necessarily mean they have grown up.

I am talking, of course, about the budget disaster resulting in the government shutting down. Repeatedly.

House Republican Whip Tom DeLay was quoted as saying, "We are going to fund only those programs we want to fund. We're in charge. We don't have to negotiate with the Senate, we don't have to negotiate with the Democrats." I can almost hear him saying "neener neener." Could he get any more childish? I think not.

When we vote for a candidate for Congress, or any position for that matter, we vote for the candidate who best represents our views. They are theoretically there for us.

Someone needs to tell them that. Evidently , once a person reaches a position of power in our government, he no longer needs to vote the way the people who put him there want him to.

When elected officials throw a monkey wrench into the works just because someone from their party got his feelings hurt, or was snubbed-supposedly-by the president, voters begin to see the politicians' true colors.

And then there's DeLay's comment about not havmg to negotiate with the Democrats. It was my impression that they are up there to negotiate. It sounds like the Republicans are saying "If you don't play the way we want to, we're taking our crayons and going home."

This moronic behavior could be considered comical if it didn't affect anybody, but people are in limbo over their jobs and where their next meal is coming from. To them, it's not funny.

If their jobs are truly "nonessential," as the government has labeled them, then those jobs should be eliminated. But this is 110t the way to do it. Unfortunately, it seems to be the way our government approaches everything. They can't keep giving things to people-like jobs and funding-then taking them away. One party seizes power and offers things to the public, then the other party returns to power and reverses those decisions.

If a company were run this way it would be bankrupt in six months, yet our childlike representatives in Washington D .C. continue this behavior year after year, decade after decade .. .To the members of Congress I have this advice: Play nice, or we the voters will send you home.

of course. for those of you on a budget. we have this assortment_.

Whitewater will bring down Clintons Rob Denny Staff Writer

n Friday, Jan. 25, for the first time ever, a first lady of the United States was subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury to testify about her involvement in the now infamous land deal known as Whitewater.

This raises a question-is Whitewater a scandal or a Bipartisan witch hunt? Considering the Savings and Loan Clinton went into business with eventually went broke and cost the taxpayers $65 million, it can hardly be considered a witch hunt.

In 1978, then-Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary entered into a land deal with their friends James and Susan McDougal.

At the time, James McDougal was the owner of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan. The couples bought 200 acres of Ozark Mountain property with the plans to break it into lots and sell it as vacation properties.

Since states regulateS & Ls, a governor going into business with an owner is completely unethical.

James McDougal immediately took care of his pal the governor by heavily subsidizing the property so the Clintons were at little risk.

going. The loan to Susan McDougal was guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, so when she failed to pay it back, the taxpayers picked up the tab.

In 1989, despite all the help from his friend and business partner Gov. Clinton, James McDougal's Madison Guaranty was shut down by Federal Regulators. This is when the Clintons walked away from Whitewater, trying to distance themselves from the entire matter.

Since he was a governor with friends in high places, Clinton was able to sweep Whitewater under the rug.

In 1992, senior criminal investigator Jean Lewis of the Resolution Trust Corporation began an investigation into all Guaranty dealings, and found Whitewater was full of fraud.

While Congress has moved slowly with its investigation-as usual-independent counsel Robert Fiske has used Hillary Clinton's information to get guilty pleas from nine people, and has indicted four others.

So why did Hillary Clinton have to go before a Grand Jury? Her billing records during the Whitewater years mysteriously showed up last week after disappearing for two years. Reports are already out that those billing records have been altered. This is not proper conduct for a president or a first lady.

Afternoon College is just what we need Palomar is now offering a new program called Afternoon College designed to accommodate more students.

Starting this semester, students can join the program, which has special classes running from I to 6 p.m. The program guarantees students access to often crowded general education subjects.

Students who want to be a part of this program need to carry 12-14 units, which will enable them to transfer to a four-year college in two years.

Even though theCiintons invested little, James McDougal set them up to receive 50 percent of any profits made when the lots were sold.

In return, Gov. Clinton helped his buddy out when Federal investigators found that Madison was failing, and considered shutting it down. Gov. Clinton appointed a new state securities commissioner to keep an eye on failingS & Ls. This sounds good; however, the attorney he appointed was not only a personal friend of James McDougal, he also had been an attorney in the firm representing Madison in other legal problems. How could this not be a conflict of interest?

Gov. Clinton says Madison was not given preferential treatment, but records show the new commissioner approved two novel proposals to keep Madison going. Both proposals were presented by Attorney Hillary Clinton .

In 1986, eight years after Whitewater began, it was not making any money and faced bankruptcy. According to statements by former Municipal Judge David Hale, Clinton pressed him into taking out an $825,000 loan from Madison, even though he did not have the collateral to back it up, then make a $300,000 dollar loan to Susan McDougal who used the money to keep Whitewater

Friday. Feb. 2. 1996

ENTERTAINMENT Madonna "Something to Remember" Maverick/Sire Records Without any hype, fanfare or controversy, Madonna has released "Something to Remember," a compilation of her biggest ballads, with surprisingly pleasant results.

Far from being an album of "elevator music," the grouping of 14 ballads has produced an album perfect for romance or relaxation.

Besides the expected hits, like the confessional "Live to Tell," sentimental "This Used to Be My Playground," or hypnotic "Take a Bow," Madonna has included three new songs; two of which she co-produced and co-wrote with David Foster.

On the first Madonna-Foster collaboration, she displays ever-improving vocals layered over a haunting melody in "You'll See." The other Madonna-Foster composition is "One More Chance," a beautifully arranged but lyrically cliched plea to a companion for forgiveness.

The third new song, a cover of Marvin Gaye's "I Want You," is actually performed twice, as the first and last song. The first version is out-of-place with its industrial sound detracting from the rest of the album, while the lush arrangement of the other version ends the album perfectly.

With "Something to Remember"-the perfect companion to her other compilations, "You Can Dance," the first ever dance-remix album; and "The Immaculate Collection" hits package-Madonna adds "ballad singer" to her legacy as the female solo artist with the most No. I hits ( 12 so far).

Michael Bolton "Greatest Hits 1985-1995" Columbia Records Trashing Michael Bolton with a nasty review would be too easy, so having an open mind, one could find some of the songs on "Greatest Hits 1985-1995" to be actually tolerable and pleasantthat is when he refrains from singing in his usual style critics love to hate.

Though some criticize Bolton for .....~...~.... covering songs of . . __ _...J dead, black singers, some of the covers like "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay" are actually impressive. Unfortunately, he ruins too many songs by "Boltonizing'' or masaquering them.

Of the five new songs, the catchy yet idiotically named "Can I Touch You ...

There?" is the most appealing. These new songs should keep Bolton fans satisfied until his next album.

Cyndi Lauper "Twelve Deadly Cyns ... and Then Some" Epic Records One of the first pop divas of the '80s, Cyndi Lauper is back with a vengeance and a new sound. Her latest CD, "Twelve Deadly Cyns ... and Then Some," is. not just a collection of her best work from the past decade; it also features new songs from an older, more mature sounding Lauper.

-If you had never heard the original version of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," you might think the remake-called "Hey Now"-was meant to be a Reggae tune, but it doesn't even sound like the same song. The funky beat works for

RETURN

Unfortunately, lacking from the album are the more mature songs "As Long as I Can Dream" and "In Walked Love" from the trio's self-titl-e d third album. By not including these tracks, they lose an opportunity to showcase Ann Curless's high vocal range.

However, third groupmemberGioiaBruno shows she has the most lead in her pipes with gritty, R&B influenced performances on "What You Don't Know" and "Tell Me Why," an emotional address against gang violence.

The newest member of the group, Kelly Moneymaker (who joined after Bruno left due to throat problems) has yet to shine with lead vocals, so listeners will have to wait until a future album.

Though the popularity of dance/pop has decreased with the rise of alternative rock, "Greatest Hits" serves as a great time capsule to a period when infectious dance/pop swept the airwaves.

Don Henley "Actual Miles: Henley's Greatest Hits" Geffen Records

any of the artists who found success in the 1980s have released greatest hits collections half way through the '90s. Before the recent dominance of alternative rock, rap and R&B songs in Billboards Hot 100 Singles chart, pop/rock filled the airwaves on FM radio. Casey Kasem even called them the "pop charts" on his weekly show, "Casey's Top 40." Here are reviews of seven artists who helped define the '80s sound.

M

REVIEWS BY DANIEL KWAN AND ANGELA LOGAN Lauper who has the talent to pull it off. For those who haven't seen the movie "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar," which features "Hey Now," it would be worth the price of this album to hear it.

But, as good as the new songs are, the old ones, such as "Time After Time," "All Through the Night" and "True Colors" still hold an appeal to the newer generation as well as the "old folks."

The Cars "Just What I Needed" Elektra/Rhino Records It's hard to imagine a large demand for "Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology," a double CD with 20 songs, demo tracks and a few previously unreleased songs since The Cars had already released a "hits" album during the '80s.

Regardless, The Cars's early tracks reflect a post-punk influence on synthesizer-induced pop/ rock tunes, making way for hits like "You Might Think," "My Best Friend's Girl" and "Magic."

After repeated plays, the album tracks remain catchy and listener friendly; but, unfortunately, most of the songs only serve as great background music. Devoted fans will enjoy the album, but occasional followers should consider the greater cost of a double CD album before making this purchase.

Expose "Greatest Hits" Arista Records As leaders of the dance/pop fonnat, Expose has released an album simply titled "Greatest Hits," chronicling the rise of the female group who achieved the most Top I 0 hits since The Supremes.

The album convincingly proves why Expose is "often imitated but never duplicated" (to borrow a line from Expose's record company).

Upon Expose's success with their debut album "Exposure," a crop of other all female groups-like The Cover Girls, Sweet Sensation and Seduction-emerged in the mid '80s, but none of these other groups lived past two albums.

With two new songs on the album, Expose progresses toward a more mature, adult contemporary sound. The first single, ''I'll Say Goodbye for the Two of Us" is ballad penned by renown "hit" songwriter Dianne Warren.

The other new track, a cover of the 1960s tune "End of the World," features extremely polished vocals by Jeanette Jurado who supplies haunting vocals reminiscent to- Karen Carpenter.

Included also are the obligatory dance classics, "Point of No Return" and "What You Don't Know," along with the rhythmic ballads "Seasons Change" and "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me."

Don Henley, who has had as much success without the Eagles as he had with them, has put out a greatest hits CD, "Actual Miles: Henley's Greatest Hits," with two new songs.

Henley's "The BoysofSummer," and "All She Wants to Do is Dance," bring back great memories for those over the age of 25. Most of the songs on this CD have that effect, but this is not to say he doesn't have anything to offer the younger crowd. "The Last Worthless Evening" and "The Heart of the Matter" were released in the late' 80s, and most people over the age of 18 will remember them.

The music on the new song, "The Garden of Allah," has his vocals, but he dabbles unsuccessfully with a harsher sound and a lot of talking. This might appeal to people who aren't familiar with his easily recognizable ¡ sound. "Garden" is similar in sound to 1989's "I Will Not Go Quietly" which features backing vocals by Ax! Rose of Guns 'N' Roses.

His other new song, "You Don't Know Me at All," sounds more like the old Henley and fits better on a greatest hit.<> disc.

Laura Branigan "The Best of Branigan" Atlantic Records Long before either Mariah Carey orCeline Dion scored their first record deals, Laura Branigan was pop music's premiere vocalist in the early to mid '80s.

Branigan, who still possesses one of the best voices on the radio, offer~ music lovers a chance to sample her most memorable tunes with "The Best of Branigan."

Despite her incredible vocal talent, Branigan is one of those artists who must have a lot of patience. Ever since breaking through the music charts with the megahit "Gloria," other artists scored hits by re-recording many of her songs.

Case in point: "The Power of Love," later recorded by Celine Dion; "How am I Supposed to Live without You," later recorded by Michael Bolton; "I Found Someone," later recorded by both Cher and Bolton; "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye" later recorded by country artist Patty Loveless; and Branigan's cover of Gloria Gayner's "Turn the Beat Around," later re-recorded by Gloria Estefan.

The album is a fine collection of pop music layered with Branigan's solid as steel vocals.

Hopefully, with this release, music lovers can discover Branigan's songs before they became re-recorded again by more artists.

Downey proves 'Restoration' is a period worth examining

My very first time ... and it just didn't happen ...

• No admittance to Smashing Pumpkins

Carla Van Wagoner Ad>•ert/Sillg A.wstant

Liz Bennett

Valentine's Day is approaching and what better way to show your valentine that you care: take them to see Miramax ' s latest release "Restoration."

The movie shows how one man arises from the dark and puritanical era of the 1600s and emerges illuminated by the experience.

The story revolves around a young, gifted physician, Merivel (Robert Downey, Jr.), whose passion for medicine is equalled only by his passion for bawdy living. His dark and unrewarding life as a physician is offset by the dreams of meeting King Charles II (Sam Neill) and yearning for life in the king's court.

Neill ("Jurassic Park") is pleasant as the flamboyant monarch Charles II. After witnessing Merivel' s forthright holistic nature, he enlists the impressionable doctor as his personal physician-though for his dogs, not himself.

The king himself was known for throwing parties and having affairs with ladies of the court. One such lady is Cecilia, portrayed by Polly Walker. Walker is enchanting as the king's lover. In order to keep up the courtly appearances, the king is forced to marry off his beloved mistress to Merivel-a marriage of paper, but not of love.

Forth is marriage of convenience, the king gives the young doctor everything he has ever wanted: land, money, title, status and a life of absolute splendor. But Merivel would give all that up when the unthinkable happens-he falls in

Campus Beat Editor

It started out g reat. The adrenaline was surging through my pulsating body . My heart throbbed in a way that made my teeth shake . Then, when I finally reached the high point-the moment I had waited so passionately for my entire life-itjustdidn 't happen. What a let down.

On the way to the Smashing Pumpkins concert, the first rock concert of my life, I was so excited that the adrenaline in my body ran faster than a freight train. Not just because I was excited about the concert, but because it was raining so hard . At one point it was like there were three fire hoses attacking the little car. The rain sprayed so heavily that we could not see anything. It was like driving by Braille. The freeway traffic was only going 35 miles per hour, but the maniacal weather made it feel more like 150 miles per hour.

After enduring High-Water Highway Hell my friend and I finally arrived at SOMA Live, just in time to see the lines of eccentrically-dressed people crowding around a gigantic silver tour bus. It was great. I longed to get close to it. I saw it-I even smelled it-and all I wanted was to touch it.

It was almost as if a power stronger than a San Francisco earthquake was aboard the long, silvery, chrome tour bus. I was so excited I could barely stand it. This was it.

Or so I thought.

After being searched by security guards we made our way to the will-call table. I was about to walk through the doors of my very first concert, or so I thought. I thought my ears had deceived me when I heard the guy at the desk say, "Your name is not on the list."

My friend and I checked every possible name on every possible list, but our names were not on any of them. We didn't think this possible, because we had already reserved passes so that I could review this concert.

I begged, I pleaded, I pouted, but it was no use. There was no way the security guards would allow us to walk through the magical doors.

So we sadly walked back towards the car. As I walked past the tour bus I thought about in dreams. I was happy for the band-their dream was fulfilled-but mine was somehow lost in a pile of paperwork.

FEATURE Palomar students explore the healing powers of medicine

During cateract surgery, Dr. William Basik is watched closely by Palomar pre-med student Rose Thai (left) and the wife of the then mayor elect of Tecate (right).

â&#x20AC;˘ Pre-med Club members gain education and valuable lessons in humanity in Tecate clinic Story and photos

by Carla Van Wagoner Doctors who are donating their time in a small clinic in slums of Tecate, Mexico, not only help their patients but contribute to Palomar College Pre-Med club members.

Once every month, members learn valuable lessons in healing by gaining practical experience in a small volunteer clinic. On Nov. 18, a group of students joined the nationally known group, The Flying Samaritans, and donated their time to visually impaired Tecate residents, helping them to see the world again.

"Some guys go out and golf, this is what I do for fun," said former Palomar Instructor Richard May. "This just gives me too much joy."

May volunteers his time regularly with the Samaritans. He gives eyes exams, dispenses glasses and eyedrops to those in need of his expertise. "I've always done volunteer work," he said.

Most days their are success stories but because poor living or medical conditions there are some days when being in the right place and the right time just isn't enough. There are patients whose visually acuity is so far beyond help that there is no hope.

"You can just give them a token effort- explain to them their eyesight isn't going to get any better with glasses. I think a lot of th~ time, all they're looking for is reassurance, that there isn't anything out there that they've missed," said May. Megan Hanerous, a member of the club, organizes club members with volunteering doctors who perform cataract surgery. Students assist in pre-operating, postoperative care or in examinations with May.

Students come away from the experience with more than hands-on training. "Coming down into a lesser privileged area and healing the physical ailments grows into a psychological healing that far abound the physical healing process. Everybody wins," said Hamerous.

Palomar Flying Samaritans Chapter organizer and politicalliason, Nash Williams, was once a student of Palomar. He has been with the Samaritans for 20 years. His influence and enthusiasm has placed this small clinic to the forefront of Tecate politics.

According to Williams, the wife of the mayor who overseas all the social, medical and volunteer needs of the town. Prior to opening of this clinic 12 years ago, he pounded on the doors of local doctor's looking for space to set up a the once a month clinic.

"Then I discovered the IF, this whole system is under the mayor's wife. Once I discovered her, everything opened up," said Williams.

During a banquet held for the outgoing and incoming political parties, Williams talked with the new mayor's wife saying, "Look, we get more out of this then we give."

In regards to his own experiences, "I can't tell you what I've gotten out of the Samaritans." he said.

"We're not going down there trying to boost our egos and make ourselves feel good. Every once in a while we do something that changes a life that down there in Mexico actually contributes back to there own society. We're actually helping people have lives again," said May. The students helped those who needed healing and ended up walking way feeling a lot better about themselves.

San Diego surgeon Dr. William Basik demonstrates how delicately cataract surgery is performed. He uses a specially designed microscope to aid in removing the bad cataract and implanting a newer one. The patient is awake during the 30-45 minute operation.

They feel no pain. Because of limited space and time, doctors are able to perform only four operations per day, per visit. Dr. Baslik and his colleagues volunteer their time to the needy as members of the Flying Samaratins. All the medical supplies used by the Tecate vision clinic are donated.

12 SPORTS

SPORTS Super Bowl (ailed to live up to its name The Super Bowl has come and gone, with the National Football Conference taking ano t h e r Lombardi Trophy, its 12th straight.

As usual, there was pomp and circumstance, including a halftime performance by Diana Ross, the usual new commercials and yes, Dei on.

That's right, Dallas, or rather "America's Team," has won yet another Super Bowl. They're back on top for one more year. They have won three of the last four championship games. Even though the Cowboys were favored to win, the game turned out to be close.

The Steelers put up a gallant effort. Their defense held Emmitt Smith to only 49 rushing yards. The game slipped away because they did not utilize their offense. Cordell Stewart-or "Slash," for his ability to play four different positionswas used sparingly. Pro-Bowl wide receiver Yancey Thigpen had only three catches.

Their biggest problem was that Neil O'Donnell overthrew all his receivers. Sometimes he seemed to be looking specifically for receivers in blue and silver. The only play that worked for Pittsburgh was the on-side kick.

Dallas, at least, walked the walk, considering all the talk. The Cowboys had two interceptions and Emmitt Smith's touchdown run to put the game away. In reality, Pittsburgh didn't have a chance.

They trailed from the beginning, and they fought long and hard, but it wasn't meant to be. Dallas proved that they are the team of the '90s.

Let's get to the important stuff, like the pre-game and halftime shows and the new commercials.

The pre-game show was one of the best ever. Vanessa Williams performed the National Anthem, and she didn't butcher it as have past performers. The missing man formation fly-over to honer the 10year anniversary of the Challenger tragedy was memorable.

The "Doritos Halftime Show Spectacular" was anything but spectacular. Its only highlight was Diana Ross exiting in a helicopter. The commercials were forgettable compared to past years. The two best were the Clydesdale horses playing football and Deion Sanders starring as the Roadrunner.

The Super Bowl was a Super Dud. I wanted something more. Past games included exciting games. I wanted emotion, but nei-ther team showed any. Hopefully, my craving for a great football game will dissipate; otherwise, I might have to watch arena games until September.

Men's basketball gets dunked • Despite 40 combined points by David Rusk and Brian Smith, Comets lose to San Diego City College Mike Hynds Staff Writer

Seanna Lee Sports Editor

The Palomar men's basketball team suffered another tough loss to conference rival San Diego City College Wednesday night at the Dome. The final score of the game was 72-67, which makes the Comets 2-6 in their conference play, with a 6-14 overall record.

David Rusk had an awesome game for the Comets. He scored 24 total points, going six for nine in three-point shot attempts ..

Brian Smith also contributed to the game by scoring 16 points.

The strength of the rebounding was the key to the game. The Knights out-rebounded the Comets 47 to 35. The Comets trailed by as many as fifteen points in the game at halftime, 38-23.

The Comets started strong in the second half. Rusk hit three key three-pointers to give the Comets a four-point lead. But the Knights charged back to a three-point lead with one minute left to play in the game.

After the Comets took a time-out, they brought the ball up but turned the ball over to the Knights. The turnover was the deciding play in the game. The Comets were forced to foul and hope that the Knights would miss their free throws, but that did not happen.

Coach Leifer said that the game was well-played by both teams and that the Comets should have beaten San Diego City.

Leifer explained that the Comets have been in every game this season, except for one against Mira Costa. They were completely dominated throughout that game.

The Comets have four remaining games this season, three road games and one home game against Mira Costa.

Softball coach Mark Eldridge now wears two hats • Palomar coach will now assume charge of football and softball teams Eric Jones SwjWriter

Palomar's football team will have another new head coach when the 1996 season starts in the fall. Mark Eldridge, the current softball coach, will try to duplicate his winning ways when he takes the helm of the football team. "I'm very happy and excited about being the head football coach here at Palomar," said Eldridge It has been nearly three years since the Comets won the National Cham-

pionship in 1993, but that was the lastgamethatPalomar's winningest football coach Tom Craft coached.

Shortly after the season he decided to take the offensive coordinator's job at San Diego State University.

Since Craft's departure, the Comets were coached by Palomar alumnus and former defensive standout Thorn Kaumeyer, who coached Palomar to a 7-3 regular season record and a bowl victory. He then left to coach a World Football League team in Japan.

Last season, the men's volleyball team finished with their first championship and best record ever. The Comets went 16-3, won their conference and state-wide finished second only to Golden West University.

In 1995, all the players were returning for their second year.

This year the Comet team consists of only two veterans out of 16 players.

"[VIe're] young, very young," said Comet Head Coach Duncan McFarland. "Our players have a lot of enthusiasm and are looking forward to doing well this season."

The starters have not been determined, but the team has been holding scrimmages twice a week.

The two returners are middle blocker Crosby Tague and setter Sean Thomas.

The Comets open the season away on Friday, Feb. 9.

over the head coaching position, but the Comets finished the 1995 seasson with a disappointing 5-5 record.

So this this time, Athletic Director John Woods looked no farther then his current athletic staff to find Eldridge.

We're excited with our staff in general. Jim Simon is going to be back with us (from Japan)," said Woods. "Plus we are keeping the staff from last season and there is a 90 percent chance that Thorn Kaumeyer will be back with us also."

Eldridge played football at Palomar from 1968-69 and was a football assistant with the Comets for 17 seasons. He left to concentrate on his duties as Palomar's soft-

ball coach. ''I'm a alumnus of Palomar and grew up around San Marcos," said Eldrige. "It's pretty exciting for me."

He brings leadership and success that the Palomar football program really needs. He has led the Comet's softball program to 13 Pacific Coast Conference championships and tied for two other conference titles. The Comets won two state championships in 1989 and 1993 and finished second in the state five times.

Now that Eldridge is the head coach of both the softball and the football teams, many think Palomar will have a better chance for state championships in both sports. "We are going to have a great staff and I'm excited about it," said Woods.

Champion softball team shows promise Eric Jones Staff Writer

Palomar's softball team is looking to repeat as Pacific Coast Conference champions this season.

Head Coach Mark Eldridge has six returning players from last year's conference ~hampionship team.

They finished with a 36-7 -I record, and were the runners-up in the 1995 state championship. ''I'm very excited about their prospects for this year," said Eldridge.

TwoofPalomar's top hitters, center fielder Lisa Flores and second baseman Krista Belford, are returning this season. Also returning are

utility player Stacy Androus, outfielders Polly Downey and Keira Jester, and infielder Kylene Dyson.

"We have a competent and exciting freshman class," Eldridge said. "We have a lot of talent in the group."

The Comets have won I 0 consecutive conference titles, they have made it to the final of the state tournament seven of the last I 0 years and they were state champions in 1989 and 1993.

"The overall team is looking real good," Eldridge said. "We have a good mix of sophomores and freshman. We are excited about the season."
