A Palomar College teacher has fil ed a lawsuit aga in st the college fo r what he call s an unj ustified schoo l rul e . John Leahy, a full time teacher at Palomar for the last 20 years, says he fi led the $5,000 suit to change the current Palomar fac ulty park ing permit policy. Palomar charges fac ulty members $25 if they lose thei r parking permi ts . T he rul e was im plemented to di scourage fac ulty members from giv ing parki ng permits to re lati ves or friends, accordi ng to M ike Gregoryk, ass istant vice president of ad mi nist rat ive services.

Efforts to impeach the Associated Student Government president came to an end after an out pour of support from ASG officers and the Palomar Col lege community. The ASG is now considering changes to the by-laws in order to insure that fu ture attempts to impeach ASG officers are not done for reasons that are "frivolous," according to Student Activi ties Adviser Jim Bowen. Scott Ty ler, vice president of social events, wrote and de li vered a letter of intent to Noonkes ter on March 20 informing her of the impeachment.
At the March 20 ASG meeting Kathleen Kremer, vice president/chair of Inner-Club Committee, submitted a sponsored resolution requesting the impeachment of Noonkester while she was giving a Standing Commiitee report. Standard procedure is to place resolutions for the agenda on a bulletin board in the ASG office . The resolution said Noonkester was subject to impeachment because of''proven violations of the Student Cond uct Code, flagra nt ab use of power, dis regard for dut ies of offi ce, and violations of Robert 's Rules of Order."

State pledges $15 million for campus construction • Improvements slaled to begin in falll997 Suzette Clark Sioff Wriler
Pal omar College will receive $ 15 milli on over the next three years to repair and upgrad e infrastructure. The money will come from the $3 billion generated by Proposition 203, which was passed by Ca liforni a voters in the M arch 26 election. Palomar has experi enced diffi culties stemming from an outdated and overtaxed infrastru cture for many years . According to the project summary proposal prepared by the Facilities Planning Office in 1995, in the past two years there have been at least five major power failures, water lines have been breaking an average of twice per month , there have been at least four major sewage blockages, and there have been two tloods on campusall of which have caused partial campus shutdowns and incurred unanticipated costs.
According to state legislative analysts, each year community coll eges prepare fi ve-year capita l o ut lay pl ans w here th ey identi fy projects that they believe should be fund ed over the following fi ve years. Although Palomar has submitted proposal' s addressing its infras tructure proble ms, without thi s bond measure, money would not be avail able With the proposal , the problems faced by Palomar have reached a critical point, ''What has developed is an infrastructure system that is o vertaxed and decaying . M ost systems do not meet industry standards or munic ipa l and state regulati ons. Of great concern as well, is th at campus wide shutdowns are occurring more frequ e ntly, which has created a si gnificant hardship for the students and staff. In stances have occurred where system breakdowns have proven dangerous."

Students stress over paying back college loans LAWRENCE, Kan.-Mark S. Luce poetically describes his student loan as a "golden time bomb." "It's great to have the gold because it allows you to stay in school,'' explains the graduate student in American studies at the University of Kansas. " But eventually, no matter how much you defer or forbear, that bomb is going to go off." Like a growing number of graduate students who choose to finance the increasingly high cost of education through student loans, Luce will graduate from UK this August with a master's degree and a pile of debt-in his case, about $31 ,000 worth. Even before he receives his diploma, he will start shelling out roughly $400 each month to pay off the loans. He
plans to do so each month for the next I 0 years, slowly chipping away at the $23.000 in loans he borrowed for graduate school, and the $7,000 loan for his undergraduate education. ·'Frankly, the situation scares the hell out of me," says Luce, who hopes to get a teaching job. "I am talented , I have a solid resume and have performed very well academically , but that does not guarantee me a job that will pay enough money to survive and not default." For Luce, and countless other like him, paying for graduate school has become as much of a challenge as getting accepted. Between 1993 and 1994, the volume of government loans made to graduates increased by a mindboggling 47 percent, according to Ameri-

"And their first jobs aren't paying more and more and more." The fact that tuition skyrocketed in the late 1980s is partly to blame. Confusion on the part of the student as to how much they are sinking into debt is another culprit, the council found. Although often compared to families who take out mortgages, student borrowers ofte·n leave school without a clear idea of what they've gotten themselves into. Luce, adds: ''Papers and presentations will always get done. Loans simply do not go away for 10 to 20 years."

Funding cuts in proposed ASG budget draw criticism • ICC. Telescope among groups voicing displeasure Suzette Clark Staff Writer
Two versions of the 1996-97 Associated Student Government budget were submitted forconsidcration at this weeks ASG meeting. The budget raised controversy with two student groups: the InterClub Comm ittec and The Telescope. The ICC's contention lies with the allocation of funds for I O"traditional" Palomar events. In the first version of the budget, ICC would receive $8,000 and be in charge of coordinating the traditional events . These events include Black History month , Women 's History month and Earth Day. In the second version, the ASG would create line items to specifically fund these events. In this scenario, clubs could volunteer to coordinate the events for ASG but would not have to go through the six-week monetary request process. White believes the ICC is better equipped to coordinate the additional events . "We don ' t feel the ASG has the commitment to carry out these campus events. The ICC has the desire and the bodies to do these events," said White. The Telescope's advertising manager Daniel Kwan expressed concern over a $1 ,500 budget cut. K wan said an increase in the cost of paper is

KKSM staff members march on campus during the station's March 28 parade. The parade was one of the events that celebrated the first broadcast of KKSM's new AM frequency.
I(I(SM celebrates first AM broadcast with ceremony Michael Douglas Staff Writer
Nearly nine months after a local broadcast group donated a radio transmitter to the college, Palomar's radio station KKSM officially began broadcasting on the AM dial on April I. The station celebrated the first broadcast with two kick-off events . On March 28, KKSM staff joined to host a campus parade with a kazoo band and golf carts. The parade started at the north end of campus and went down to the Clock Tower and back. The station ' s offical ribbon cutting ceremony was held on April 8 at the Clock Tower. Guests in attendance included Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs; Vice President Instruction, Diane Michael; President Faculty Senate, Bonnie Dowd; Dean of Media/Business, William Flynn; and Kate King, San Marcos Chamber of Commerce. KKSM-AM Program Director Cindy Rodenhizer, Music Director David Queen and Chief_Engineer Craig Thorley were also on hand. KKSM Promotions Director Terry Wakefield was the host of the dedication ceremony . At the ceremony, Boggs wished KKSM-AM the best, and cut the ribbon under the clock tower.

Afterwards, Branch thanked the crowd of approximately 20, saying, " KKSM-AM couldn't have happened without the support and dedication of some of these people, and the staff of KKSM-AM ." Branch also personally pointed out some KKSMAM staff who helped bring the station on line, DJ's Micheal Aki and Connie Blaze. The dedication did have some surprises. The public address system was not working properly, and it took the staff six tries to break abottle filled with confetti. Overall, Branch said the transition to AM radio went well for KKSM , though the station did run into problems using the call letters KKSM-AM. According Branch, KKSM learned on April3 that the U.S. Coast Guard uses the call letters KKSM for the cutter Edward Livingston. KKSM is currently negotiating with the Mass Media Bureau to work the problem out with the Coast Guard. Branch said KKSM should be able to legally use the letters within three to six weeks. Until then, the station's legal call letters, which are broadcast from five minutes before the hour, until five minutes after the hour, will be KKLQ-AM. DJs will still use KKSM-AM as the identifier otherwise. KKLQ were the call letters for the 1320 AM frequency before PAR Broadcasting donated the station to Palomar last fall.
Costa College allows faculty members one free replacement permit and charges $8.50 for any other permits. Students at Mira Costa are charged $8.50forany additional replacements, while Palomar students are charged $20 to replace a lost permit. Leahy says he knows of one faculty member who has lost two permits this year and has had to pay $50. "This fee can put a financial burden on faculty staff," Leahy said. Dr. George Boggs, president/ superintendant, says they are simply enforcing school policy. "We are not accusing Mr. Leahy or any other faculty member of wrong doing," Boggs said. "We are enforcing school policy and we have every right to do so." Gregoryk said Leahy could have resolved the matter without going to court but Leahy disagrees. "Going in front of a campus panel would be pointless. Even if the panel agreed with me and waived my fee, the policy would not be changed," Leahy
said. "If I get a judge to rule in my favor, I can take this judgement to Palomar' s Governing Board to have the rule changed." Leahy says he is suing for $5 ,000 to make sure someone from Palomar showed up in court. "Ifl had sued for $25, nobody from Palomar would bother showing up," Leahy said. This is not the first time Leahy has sued Palomar over its parking policies. In 1986, Leahy won a suit claiming it was an invasion of his privacy for Palomar to make him place a parking sticker on the bumper of his car. Palomar gave him a nonstick permit which was placed on his dashboard while he was on campus. Leahy says if he wins this case, the money will be donated to his favorite charity or to the school for purchasing books forthe Escondido campus library. The two sides were originally scheduled to appear in Escondido Small Claims Court on April 9, but the date was pushed back to May 7 at I : 15 p.m. at the sch oo l's request.
Continued from Page 1 Recently, votertrendshave indicated a reluctance to support school bond initiatives. Dr. George Boggs, Superintendent/President said he was "overwhelmed" when he heard that Prop. 203 passed. "The size of the vote in favor of Prop. 203 is a positive indication of voter sentiment. It's sign Californians feel that the economy is improving-they're investing in the future again," said Boggs. Charrie Chappie, Director ofFacilities Planning said they expect to receive $900,000 in August 1996. This money will go to engineers to develop comprehensive working plans and drawings. Actual construction is expected to begin 1997, when Palomar will receive an additional $14 million.

Students rally for women Linda Isakson Staff writer
In recognition of the first annual March Women's History Month, a women's day event was held from II a.m. to I :30 p.m. Monday, March 25 in front of the Student Union. Hosted by Black Men United, and funded by the Associated Student Government, the women's day event brought together an afternoon of eating, singing and opportunity drawings. A stage, 200 chairs and buf-
fet tables lined with free food stood amid the crowd of observers. The entertainment and educational portion of the event included Joanne Lesler, Doris Pichon and Wilma Owens, who spoke of different experiences in their lives and how they overcame many obstacles to be successful. Gospel singers from a local church, as well as Palomar student Patrick Fleming, sang of women's liberation. A total of23 women won various prizes during the opportunity drawing, the most popular being a day of hair and nail care by a local salon.
"Putting on this event I learned a lot about dealing with issues pertainingtowomen,"sardDoug Walker, President ofBMU. "Listening to the speakers and the joy of the women who participated in the event, I have more of an understanding of the problems that women in general have to endure on a daily basis," said Walker. "I want to thank ASG for supporting BMU by helping us put this event together. It was tiresome, yet astonishingly successful," said Walker.

The thunder oflndian drums will soon reverberate through the Dome as two campus Indian clubs celebrate their 13th Annual Pow-Wow, April 20 from I 0 a.m. to midnight. The event is being put on by the Native American Student Alliance, the American Indian Science and Engineering Society and Palomar's Department of Indian Studies. "It's an invitation to Indians and non-Indians to come to the Palomar Pow-Wow and be involved ," said Henrietta Moore of the Palomar Department of Indian Studies. "For Native Americans it 's like a social gathering; a way to give tribute to who we are and what we stand for," said Michael Peralta, NASA and AISES member. "For
non-Indians the Pow-Wow is a way to [become] culturally educated. They'll get to see what native California tribes look like," Peralta said. California bird singers are scheduled to kick off the event at I 0 a.m. Besides bird singers there will also be gourd dancing. Drum and dancing contests for Indian children will also be held. "I think it's a nice activity to bring the family to," Moore said. Peralta said visitors should be prepared for a flexible schedu le. "We're on Indian time," Peralta said. He added that the Pow-Wow won't officially begin until later in the evening (about 6 or 7 p.m.) with the Grand Entry inside the Dome. "After the Grand Entry is when most of the Pow-Wow really starts," Peralta said. "They do a spiritual prayer to
cleanse the Dome, give thanks and honor the arena. They honor the flag and bring the Indian participants in and begin the dancing of the Pow-Wow. Once the Pow-Wow starts, they have contests and such until midnight," Peralta said. Peralta said the chanting and beating drums will create an experience that everyone should look forward to. "The drum beat represents your heart," Peralta said. "You go in there and you feel that drum beating with your heart. It's an uplifting, spiritual feeling. The energy surrounding an event like this is awesome." "The Dome is a wonderful spot for the Pow-Wow," Moore said. Food and craft vendors will display their wares inside and outside the Dome. Traditional Indian fry bread will also be sold.

"The resolution was faulty. [Noonkester] does not have any proven violations of anything on her record. If she has violated the code of conduct, disciplinary action should be taken against her first. If she were to continue to violate the code after that, then impeachment proceedings would be appropriate," said Espinoza. Espinoza went on to say that Kremer removed the conduct violation from the resolution, and that he had re-sponsored it. It could have been on the agenda for the Apri I I0
meeting, but it was not submitted. At the March 27 ASG meeting several members of ASG, and Syndi Ladd of the Native American Student Alliance, expressed their support ofNoonkester, and theirconfusion as to the incidents leading to the impeachment. "I have only heard one of the reasons for the impeachment. Do I need a secret squirrel ring to know what the other reasons are?" asked Senator Marek Sonnenfeld. The one reason for the impeachment that has surfaced stems from the removal of Kremer from the Budget and Finance Committee. Her removal was due to questions of conflict of interest. As chairofiCC, Kremer sat on all three boards that a
club must petition for money: ICC, Budget and Finance, and ASG. Theresa Chamberland, executive vice president of ASG, stressed the conflict was due to the nature of the position of ICC Chair, and was not a reflection on Kremer's character. Noonkester's greatest concern about the impeachment is the damage that may be done to the ASG' s credibility. "I think this the the best student government Palomar has had in years. Although I am troubled that others are discouraged from participaling, I still have faith that we can continue to do positive things, and that the ASG will continue to serve the student body in the way that it deserves," said Noonkester.

-~PINION China has decided to flex its military muscles in an attempt to pressure Taiwan into going peacefully back to communist China's rule. In response to China's military exercises in the Taiwan Strait, President Clinton sent in military ships to offer protection to Taiwan. Are we headed for a showdown with China?
Should we help Taiwan stand up to • We are obligated to assist Taiwan Jenni Kendall Feature Editor
Clinton has an obligation to help protect Ta1wan m the event that a connict anses between the tmy 1sland and mainland Chma. If we failed to intervene, the credibility of the U.S. deployed forces in the Western Pacific would virtually disappear. So far, all China's Communist leaders have done is make a few idle threats and stage a mock-naval battle off the coast of Beijing. The threats ranged from missile attacks and rumors of a possible invasion to a reunification timetable. Foreign Ministry spokesman Chen Jian suggested this "timetable," saying that after China reclaims Hong Kong in 1997 and Macau in 1999, Taiwan will be "high on the agenda of the Chinese people." Top Washington officials say that China's Peoples Liberation Army isn't capable of pulling off an offensive invasion, even after pouring billions of dollars into its modernization. The P.L.A. is still two or three decades behind the American military capability, so even if the slim possibility of war became a reality, it wou ld prove to be a no-contest situation. The Chinese have said that they would fire a nuclear missile attack on Los Angeles if
Should the U.S. get any more involved with China and Taiwan?
the United States made any more efforts to help Taiwan. Much to Bejing's displeasure, this did nothing to deter our selling aircraft and other equipment to Taiwan. By aiding Taiwan in their fight towards independence from a communist regime, the Clinton administration would be merely following in the footsteps of other great presidential administrations. In 1950, when North Korea invaded South Korea. the Truman Admm1stration sent the Seventh Fleet into the Ta1wan Strait to keep the Commumsts from seizing the island. Just four years later the United States and Taiwan signed a mutual-defense treaty. Besides it being the right thing to do, the United States is bound by legislation passed in 1979, the Taiwan Relations Act, to view an attack on the island as a "threat to the peace and security" of the region. Much of the controversy stems from the recent re-election ofTaiwan's President Lee Teng-Hui. It was the first direct democratic presidential election held in Taiwan. Due to all the tension surrounding the election, the Clinton administration sent two aircraft carrier battle groups to waters near Taiwan so that China would not interfere in Taiwan's democratic process. Now that the election is settl ed-TcngHui won by 54 percent-China has begun to lay off the little island which craves its independence from the Communist nation. Whether or not the United States should intervene in the connict between mainland China and the island of Taiwan is no longer the question .. . It is our duty to do so. The question is whether or not China was just blowing smoke or will act on their threats.
• Th~ price for our country is too high Jennifer Rader Staff Writer
The Clinton administration sent two aircraft carrier battle groups to Ta11.van to let China know we do not want them to mterferc with the democratic process. Lee Teng-Hui was elected president March 23 with 54 percent of the vote. What we need to know is whether to threaten China further if there is a confrontation between China and Taiwan over a democratic government. Our involvement as a military force will put our country in jeopardy. The possibility that American interference in the Chinaffaiwan issue could result in a devastating attack on Los Angeles was a message that we received from Chinese officials, according to The New York Times. Ballistic missiles could be the initial attack weapon of the Chinese, if they are smart enough not to start with nuclear weapons. According to former CIA director James Woolsey, we do not have the capacity to shoot down any ballistic m issiles. San Diego would most likely be a top-priority target since it is a strategic Navy West Coast port. The U.S. government should look back to past mistakes to assure that history does not repeat itself. Vietnam is a prime example of a major military mistake that ended tragically. Most Americans believed we would have no problem defeating the Communists in Viet-

nam. The government thought they could be the world's police force, but it has not worked, and Vietnam demonstrated this. Today, many countries arc acquiring ballistic missiles and nuclear. chemical or biological weapons. There was a time when we were a major world power, but that time is over. We simply can not afford to throw our we1ght around without severe consequences. Use of nuclear weapons means the entire world loses. Instead of threatening\ 1olence. we should work with both countries to come to a peaceful agreement. The new president ofTmwan has the power to begin negotiations with China. They could start by letting China govern foreign affairs. while the Taiwanese control their own government. The history of China and Taiwan is extensive, and should be understood before the U.S. military becomes involved. China was an empirical society until communism was introduced. If people in Taiwan believe democracy is the best form of government , maybe China might begin to bend in that direction, too. There is a lso the argument that China actually owns Taiwan. What if New Mexico wanted to eparate itself from the United States and become a commun ist state?Throw in a communist country threatening military force to assist New Mexico. That sounds like the recipe for disaster. I do not believe fighting for an island that may be owned by China is worth the risk of nuclear holocaust, or the United States ge tting bombed with ballistic missiles.

OPINION 7
Men show
what they're made of Some men arc to be commended for the ir strength, while oth ers are to be condemned for their cowardice. • After hi s son was shot to death , in stead of calling for revenge towards Tony Hicks , the alleged shooter, Azim Khamisa joined with Hicks' grandfather, Pies Felix Jr. , to form a foundation to study violence among youths . They hope to prevent this kind of needless tragedy from happening again. Both ·mcn have looked beyond their personal pain to reach out and try to save the youths exposed to the violence of the streets everyday. People might understand if Khami sa wanted to get revenge for hi s son Tariq, but he is a bigger man than most. People might also expect Felix to fight fo r his grandson by declaring hi s innocence no matter what. but he believes people should take responsibility for their actions, even if it means he will never see Hi cks as a free man aga in. This must take a terrible toll on Felix, but he too is a bigger man than most. What these men are doing goes beyond just doing what's right. Even though they both lost a loved one in one way or another. they feel the need for something positive to come out of a heartbreaking situation. If more people were like these courageous men, the world would be a much better place. • Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown was traveling in Croatia last week when his plane slammed into the side of a mountain. He was trying to encourage economic develop in wartorn Bosnia by bringing prominent American busmcssmcn in to help rebuild the economy. Everyone who knew or worked for Brown has the same thing to say-he was a great man. It is sad that many Americans never knew how great he really was until he was killed. With all the corrupti on in politics, men like Brown are often overl ooked. We need more men like Brown in our government, and hi s death will leave a void that will be almost imposs ible to fill. • Last, and certainly least, we have the Unabomber. That it took so long to catch this guy is a mystery . He fits the profile of a crazed lunatic, from hi s hermit-like living conditions, to hi s wild-eyed. unkempt appearance. He is a coward in the worst way. By sending hi s violence through the mail, he never had to face hi s victims. In hi s upcom ing trial, he will have to face the victims, their families and the rest of the world. Justice will be s·erved.
Staff Editorial
Immigrants flee; put others at risk Once again, through the miracle of live broadcast television , the world was witness to another police beating . This time it was illegal immigrants. While minority rights' organizations are screaming forthe heads of the officers, they ignore a situation that needs to be addressed no w-illega l immigration. Every time a person currentl y in office or runnin g for one brings up the subject of our border problem, activists start using the " R" wordrac ist. Y cs, the beatings were excessive, but the officers involved are being tried in the media before they even get the chance to defend themselves. Criminals have the right to a trial. Cops aren't so fortunate. Most people have no idea what law enforcement officers in this county have to deal with on a regular basis. These illegal immtgrants knew they were breaking the law by entering the United States. They also knew they were brcakmg the law by running. driving fast and recklessly in a stolen vehicle to evade the police.
This is called resisting arrest. They needlessly endangered their own lives as well as the lives of others. The police have the unfortunate task of chasing and detaining these offenders, even though they know the same people will return again and again. It 's no wonder they are frustrated. Unfortunately, some use the wrong method to vent their frustration. They should be given counseling to keep incidents like this from happening. Another thing that angered many is that the immigrants involved are suing for millions of dollars. People who are injured while committing a crime shou ld not be able to profit from it. It is time Mexican officials faced the economic plunder they have inflicted on their country and started taking responsibility for their citizens. If there were more job opportunities and ways to get ahead. Mexican cittzcns would not need to leave their country. Most people in Mexico fall into two categories-rich or poor. While govern-
ment officials got rich off the backs of the workers, the poor became desperate. It is understandable that the poor want to come to a country that has so much to offer. The problem is that so many illegal immigrants come here to have their children because if you are born in the United States you are a citizen. Instant citizenship through birth in not a world-wide policy. It shouldn't be our policy. This gives them a right to collect welfare and obtain free medical care. But it' s not reall y free. Taxpayers ultimatel y pay the bills, and they are tired of paying. This causes a backlash of hate towards all people of Hi s panic descent, and it 's not right that those who come here illegally are making it hard on Hispanics who are citizens of the United States. There is no quick fix to this problem, but as people become less sympathetic about the plight of the Mexican people. more incidence of violence will occur. The need for something to be done immediately is painfully clear.

Paper needs to cover ASG affairs I would like to congratulate The Telescope for a job well done with regards to its in-depth coverage of the Associated Student Government and other campus bureaucracy. It is good to know that Th e Telescope will not just sit around and publish the more politically-correct articles and views around campus. I have always felt that The Telescope was doing its job of providing information about all issues aro und campus. I feel that the coverage the ASG has received over the past few months is well-founded and I believe that the activity of the ASG is indeed ''real news." Thanks for the excel-
lent job in reporting.

Palomar professor files needless suit As a community member proud to support and encourage the efforts of committed, hard working stud en ts atte ndin g Palomar, I am chagrined and alarmed at Mr. Leahy's frivolou s suit. As a faculty member, he does not pay for parking at the college. Each student, including disabled studen ts, must pay $20 a semester to park. Mr. Leahy has been parked too long at Palomar. Filing a suit without first going
through the proper complaint process suggests contempt for the administration, the students and the community that pay his salary. Mr. Leahy needs to get out of academe and enter the real, working world . Mr. Leahy has raised some consciousness. Now we all know parking discrimination exists on campus, a nd that faculty have black-marketed parking permits to friends, family and students. I urge the Board of G overning Trustees to make all faculty, staff and trustees pay for parking. If students whose yearly income is usually under $5,000 are expected to pay, certainly the faculty whose salaries are approximately $50,000 should be happy to pay their fair share.

ENTERTAINMENT 'A Thin Line Between Love and Hate' • Comedian Martin Lawrence stars in, directs comedy about love gone awry Shari Vaughn Staff Writer
Courtesy New Line Cinema
Lynn Whitfield puts a chokehold on Martin Lawrence after he uses her, then dumps her in the comedy "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate."
For any woman who is frustrated with men and their libido-driven ways, "A Thin Line between Love and Hate" is a dream come true. It is a surgeon general's warning to any man whose sole purpose in life is to use as many woman as he can. The film, written and directed by and starring Martin Lawrence of Fox's hit sitcom "Martin," tells the tale of a sexually promiscuous playboy, Darnell, whose major goal in life is to see how many women he can "slam." Brandi (Lynn Whitfield), an uptight socialite real estate agent, presents quite a challenge. Darnell, who lias .made a wager with his best bud, Tee, is determined to get Brandi in the sack. After multiple fights, near arrests and slick coercion on Darnell's part, including a totally insincere "I love you," Darnell gets his way. While basking in the afterglow, he learns that Brandi killed her first husband because of infidelity. After Darnell's slick words and their passionate interlude, she now seems intent on molding him into a suitable mate for herself. After a shopping spree and threats about spending all their time together, Darnell, like any self-respecting playboy, is ready to split. He decides Mia, his good old friend from childhood who returned from the Navy at the beginning of the movie, is the woman he is meant to be with. He stands Brandi up on her birthday to spend an innocent night with Mia. The next day, after receiving a mutilated birthday cake with a butcher knife stuck in it, Darnell goes to Brandi and

officially blows her off. The rest of the movie consists of Brandi torturing Darnell, destroying his car, beating herself up and letting the suspicion fall on Darnell, and other such delightfully cruel strikes at Darnell's ego and masculinity. The moral of the story is never say "I love you" unless you mean it. Or, more obviously, never make bets with you best friend about whether or not you can get someone in bed. "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate" was hilarious. Martin Lawrence does an excellent job representing the sex-driven jerk who comes around in the end and learns what love is all about. The only downside was the overuse of the "F" word. Other than that, the movie was a blast. This is a flick every man should see. Preferably with the lady of his life sitting next to him. One warning to male viewers though. Don't be surprised if your lady friend ends up rooting for the psychotic Brandi. She represents all women who have been used taken to their most extreme.
'Fuel for the Messiah' fails· to keep critic's engine running Brian Wallace Contributing Writer
Local band Building 14's latest album, "Fuel for the Messiah," bears the advice "Play while driving" on the backcoverofthe CD booklet. This would seem to indicate that the tracks on the disc are hard-driving, fast-paced adrenaline pumpers that are sure to transform your drive to school into your own personal Indy 500. Unfortunately, the album doesn't deliver on that promise. The songs on "Fuel for the Messiah" are mostly mid-tempo folksy blues rock, with a few fairly slow moments (the somber "Anytown" for instance). This is not to say that the album will cause you to fall asleep at the wheel-but at the same time, it won't make your car insurance payments go up either. The first track, "Venus the Serpent," carries the most punch, and like much of the album, probably sounds even better live (perhaps the recording doesn't do justice to many of these songs). "FKA" follows it up and has a pretty nice buildup itself.
C'D ~eVieW Building 14 "Fuel for the Messiah" Lead singer Nicholas Spear is a competent front-man, but doesn't show a lot of range. He seems to go back and forth between sounding haunted and depressed. The guitar work, handled by Spear and lead guitarist Eric Chase, seems to be heavily influenced by U2, which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you think of U2. Bassist J. Michael Hawkins and drummer Christopher Beal put in good performances, with Beal shining in a wonderful percussion piece at the end of the disc. All of the guys are good musicians-that much is obvious on first listen. But the 14 tracks they have put together suffer from "deja vu syndrome." When you first listen to the disc, it sounds familiar. And when you're halfway through the disc, you find yourself wondering "Didn't I already hear this song a few tracks back?"

'The Gray Race' is an old and tired CD Brad Rubin Contributing Writer
Bad Religion continues their ascent from their punk-rock roots with a tired and repetitive , but ultimately likable record that personifies a slow creative decline from the hallowed days of "No Control." "The Gray Race" is the second record for the bad boys as full-fledged members of the behemoth Atlantic Records, and their commercial slop of punk reverberates soundly with the usual tight , polished production. "Race" ferments a slew of familiar"Bad" themes that have alwayshad a place in the band's heart-useless moral dogma, doomed humanitythus showing the band is still committed to unapologetic conscience-raising messages or something. Lead singer Greg Graffin is still into all those big words

Huge waves crash on the shore of Weston Beach located in Point Lobos State Park. The beach was named after late photographer Edward Weston who frequently photographed the Carmel Coast.
Twice a semester the learning environment for photography students goes through a dramatic change. Instead of being stuck on campus in a stuffy class room or darkroom, field studies classes literally go out into the fields and the deserts, mountains, or wherever nature calls. Last month, 25 photo students, along with their instructor Tom Young, traveled to the beautiful sites of Carmel and Monterey. Students were given a brief tour into the minds of working photographers. Photographers such as John Sexton, Cole and Kim Weston, Martha Casanave. Huntington Withcrill, AI Weber, Henery Gilpin and Frances Bear (widow of photographer Morely Bear) allowed students into home and work places. Photography student Elias Rivera said, "The experience was awe-inspiring." After viewing the works of these professionals, students were allowed to interview their hosts to gain both knowledge and a greater respect fof their craft. "I don't have any secrets about my photography" said Sexton, who was once an assistant to famed photographer Ansel Adams.
Photo student Sing Baker studies the various images captured by the camera of famous pioneer photographer Edward Weston at the Carmel Highland Inn.
