Man assaults student after parking dispute • Fight prompts victim to file criminal charges Kathi Renaud SwffWriter

A Palomar student has been charged with assaulting another student with a deadly weapon after an argument over a parking space on campus, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. According to the victim, student Michael Glymph assaulted him with brass knuckles to settle an argument over a parking space in Lot 12. The victim saidthat on April 23 he was waiting for a parking space in Lot J2 and when he started to pull in, Glymph tried to speed around him and steal the space. The victim alleged that Glymph became angry after he failed to get the space and threatened him with brass knuckles and yelled, "You and your car will be sorry."

The victim, who declined having his name published for fear of retaliation, wrote down the license number of the vehicle, which was later used to locate the suspect. Two days later, the victim was silting in his car in Lot 12 reading a newspaper when he was approached by Glymph. According to the Campus Patrol report, Glymph pulled up behind his vehicle, honked the horn, and gave the victim a "dirty look." Glymph then parked his car, approached the victim's car and allegedly hit it with his fist. The victim said Glymph began to yell obscenities and threaten him with physical violence. The victim said that after he got out of his car and exchanging words with Glymph, the

Students will be going to the polls on May 6-10 to decide the fate of a student government proposal that would fund the construction of a new Student Union. If the proposal passes, students will be required to pay a $1 per unit fee to raise money to build the new three-story Student Union. The fee will be capped at $10 per student, per academic year. For example, if a student enrolls in 12 units during fall semester, the student will pay $10 during the fall semester, and nothing in the spring. If successfully implemented, the fee will begin in the fall '97, and continue until construction is paid for. After this, the fee may be reduced to an amount sufficient to maintain and renovate the center. The updated building would house all Student Activities, quiet study areas, and most student services including financial aid and employment services. Plans are also in the works to move the offices of The Telescope and KKSM to the top floor of the new center. "The dream is to completely revise the building - bigger and better. We want to centralize everything," said Associated Student Gove~nment Adviser Jim Bowen. In order for the proposition to pass, at least 3,129 students on the San Marcos Campus need to vote. Two thirds (2,097) of these votes must be in favor of the new student center. Ellen Noonkester, theoutgoingASG presi-

Student accused of cheating on SAT test sues ETS LOS ANGELES-When University of Southern California athlete Kenneth Has lip, Jr., was accused of cheating on hi s SAT test last year, he took the unusual course of fighting back. And he won. An arbitrator ruled last summer that the Educational Testing Service lacked "substantial evidence" that Haslip cheated. Now the sophomore is suing the SAT administrator for defamation and breach of contract. He wants $8 million to compensate for losing his track scholarship last spring as well as for damage to his reputation and for suffering "shame" and "mortification." ETS declined to comment on the case while it's being litigated.The football and track recruit had taken the test four times

and scored 480,490,510 and 780. The cutoff score for NCAA eligibility, known as Proposition 48, is 700. And although his score increased 270 points from one test to another, ETS typically doesn ' t investigate unless there 's a jump of at least 350 points. Out of 1.8 million students who take the SAT each year, ETS challenges about I ,800 of their scores. About 540 of those scores are cancelled. The ACT, taken by 1.5 million students, doesn't release similar information. An anonymous caller accused Haslip of cheating and, after an investigation, ETS ruled that he had copied his answers from another student. In February, the test company cancelled his score, which resulted in him losing his track scholarship.

Most students accused of cheating take the test again to prove their innocence, but Haslip hired a Beverly Hills lawyer, Anthony Willoughby. Willoughby also represents two-year college football player Christopher McAlister, who charges he was passed over by UCLA recruiters after ETS accused him of cheating on his SAT test. He has plans to sue ETS for $5 million this week, also for defamation and breach of contract. In yet another case, University of Colorado recruit Clyde Sanders was accused of cheating during pre-season football practices. Sanders, who has since left college, said his scores improved after taking a test preparation course.

ASG senatnrs sharpen skills at legislative conference • Student officials participate in statewide event I

Suzette Clark Staff Writer

Palomar's Associated Student Government used student representation fee funds to send three senators to a California Student Association ofCommunity Colleges legislative conference in Anaheim on April 26- 28. CalSACC is a state recognized student lobbying organization that represents community college students. Student government members convene to discuss pending legislation and its effects on students. The executive board members then lobby the state legislature and governor's office to support or oppose the legislation. ASG Senators Angela AI varado, David Espinoza, and Marek Sonnenfeld spent three days at the conference where they participated in the elections, attended workshops and regional meetings. Funding to send ASG members to CalSACC conferences comes from the monies raised by Palomar's

SMOKING:

Student Representation Fee. The $1 per semester fee is charged to students at regtstratwn. CalSACC held two different elections at this spring's conference: regional board and state board. Palomar College was represented in Region I 0 by the three senators in attendance. Espinoza was nominated for region treasurer by Senator Frank Murdock of San Diego Miramar College. "David has displayed interest and initiative in CalSACC issues," said Murdock in support of Espinoza. Senators Alvarez and Sonnenfeld attended different workshops on student advocacy and parliamentary procedure. Alvarez attended a workshop presented by David Hawkins, a legislative advocate for the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges. In it he discussed the ABC's of student government. "Apathy: the big lie." Hawkins asked how many students felt that there was apathy on their campus. Virtually all hands were raised.

"You are wrong," Hawkins said, "You have fear that is rooted in tgnorance." Hawkins satd that smdents are never taught how to be activists. In civics classes, students learn about how bills become laws, and how budgets are passed. "Bureaucrats: that is what you are." Hawkins said that most members of student government emulate federal bureaucrats. When you are running for [student] government, you are shaking hands and kissing babies. Once you are in, you hide behind the glass window," said Hawkins. "Communication and coalition: we need more." Hawkins gave hints on how to communicate effectively with the student body. He recommended a chalk board brigade going to rooms to post events and activities. Hawkins described what he calls the "save phenomena." Hawkins told students if they draw a square in the corner of a chalk board and write "save" above it, you can write in any announcement, and it will go untouched for weeks. It'sas if

Alvarez said she was so impressed with Hawkins' workshop, she wanted to have him come to Palomarto speak to students about advocacy. The conference ended on Sunday afternoon with the state board elections. Marisa Alvarez of Santa Rosa Jr. College defeated Jeff

Haskell ofSaddleback Community College in the bid for CalSACC President. Alvarez' chief campaign issues were communication improvement and change. "You can look at the face on your watch and see what time it ts. You can look at the faces around you, and see that it is ttme for a change," said Alvarez.

Student government passes resolution declaring support of current policy

Continued from Page 1 The distance of 7 feet, 6 inches was decided on as a compromise. "Some people wanted to ban smoking totally on-campus," said Jim Harlow, a Faculty Senate representative on the task force. "There are community college campuses in the county where there's no smoking at allthat's one extreme." The task force took into consideration the smoking policies of other local public college campuses. At California State University, San Marcos. smoking is prohibited in all

According to Donna Greene, chairperson of the task force, some faculty members wanted to halve the patio into smoking and nonsmoking sections. "We can't really say 'smoking' or 'nonsmoking' designated areas ... ASG is not in favor of that," Greene said, "but they reached a compromise where we can put, on some of the tables, 'Thank you for not smoking.' Whether or not students observe that.." Additionally, members of the task force asked that the Safety and Security Committee forward a recommendation to the Beautification Committee that "additional

Harlow added that other extreme was people who wanted to maintain the status quo. The Associated Student Government passed a resolution stating its support of and adherence to current smoking policy. The resolution, sponsored by senators David Espinoza, Marek Sonnenfeld and Genoveva Gomez, was approved unanimously at the April 24 ASG meeting. Espinoza's main concern regarded the outside patio in front of the Student Union.

"We've got a large population [at Palomar], but we don't have the outdoor facilities for people to enjoy the outdoors," he said. "This is Southern California, and there's no place to sit. We've got the nice trees, a nice campus, but there's no place to utilize any of that." Hudson-Macisaac was in the process of having the policy change put on PAC's May 7 agenda as information .

"When do I get it?" asked Scott Smith after he found out he had won first place at Club Success's "Free Give-Away" opportunity drawing on April II. The drawing, held in front of the Student Union, gave away $100 worth of free gas. Second place went to Rebecca Barr, Student Services Counselor. Barr won a three-month membership to the Family Fitness Center in Escondido. Proceeds from the drawing will be used towards replacing two Braille machines which were stolen from the Adaptive Computer Lab about four years ago. Each machine is worth about $800. According to Kelly Jory, secretary of Club Success, they did not

Gas prices soak .the unsuspecting Linda Isakson Staff Writer

Just about all of the penny-pinching, money-scrounging, poor people of America,likecollege students, are feeling the effects of increasing gas prices. We want to know what's going on, but no one is giving a straight answer. Every newspaper in the country has tried to break the story and expose the gas companies in all their greed, but gas company officials have eloquently weaseled their way out of saying anything. If people knew what was really going on, they would do nothing short of publicly torching all gas stations. Just remember the information given in this column is simply to inform , not to instigate Âˇany sort of violent actions against the gas people; though the public probably won't mind seeing the gas companies get the justice they deserve. All of the issues involved in the huge increase in gas prices are complicated, intertwined and yet related. Let's start with the principles of economics. If a company expects a large shipment ofgoods at a cheap

price, then the company wi Ill ower their prices in anticipation of increased demand. Which is exactly what the American gas companies did. The Iraq government had planned on selling 2 billion barrels of oil to the United States. The United Nations had originally approved the deal , and had the American gas companies jumping for joy. Making the gas companies happy is a good thing because they in turn lowered gas prices. Now the U.N. disapproves of the Iraqi oil sale to America because of a disagreement over use of the revenues. Iraq wants to use the reven ues to fund restoration of their country after the Gulf War. At least that is what they are telling the U.N. But restoration can also include building up their military with more weapons and high tech equipment. The U.N. is requiring Iraq to use the revenues to fund humanitarian purposes such as food, clothing and shelter for many of the country's poor and homeless citizens. Iraq 's government couldn't care less about its citizens. They just want more money to buy more weapons, to start another war, to conquer the Middle East, to take over the world. With that, the American gas companies are licking their lips and making room in their wallets, because now they can raise prices and blame it on a shortage of gas. How can there be a shortage of gas when there are so many other alternative oil reserves? Iraq is not the only country which supplies the world with oil. President Clinton recently approved the

release of 12 million barrels of oil from America ' s Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It is not going to do very much for the prices, but it proves that alternative sources for oil do exist. So the shortage argument is illogical. The gas companies are also blaming the higher taxes which were placed on each gallon of oil- 47.5 cents a gallon. Those taxes, implemented in 1993, were intended to fund improvements on the infrastructure on American roads, so the taxes argument is invalid. California has high standards for companies to produce "env ironmentally friendly" gas in order to promote and maintain clean air. In a desperate attempt to justify price increases, the gas companies are also turning to environmental regulations. It would be just too convenient for California to suddenly raise gas cleanliness standards at the same time that Iraq was barred from selling oil to America. The standards have remained the same, so that argument is lame. Politicians and the media have (and justifiably so) hounded the gas companies for a believable' explanation, but to no avail. After the public learns of the crooked, despicable attempt by these companies to subk the American people dry , those gas corporations are going to be running around naked begging for forgiveness from anyone who is willing to listen. In the meantime, they had better enjoy their brief windfall from the unfair increased revenues, because their unpopularity is not a good thing, and will ultimately come back to haunt them .

Smokers care only about selves while others suffer Kris Gest St<!{f Writer

If the angel of death has a physical form, it is cigarettes. Smoking has been identified by the U.S. Government as the primary preventâ&#x20AC;˘ able cause of death in our soc iety , for smokers and sadly enough, even non-smokers. The tobacco industry acts as a merchant of death by fueling a habit that kills more than 400,000 Americans per year and 4 million each decade. That translates into one death every 40 hours; one demise every 2,400 minutes; one murder every 144,000 seconds. That total exceeds the combined deaths due to alcohol, cocaine, AIDS, heroin, angel dust and all automobile accidents. More Americans die each year from holding cigarettes in their own hands than diep at the hands of the Nazis in World War II.

Cigarettes are sleeping dragons that wait 20 or 30 years before revealing their awful and powerful teeth, ravishing and torturing the body with lung cancer_, emphysema, heart disease, cancer of the mouth and tongue, and a host of other horrors . Death by smoking is painful and lingering. Misled smoking enthusiasts attempt to justify their habit on the basis that smoking is their right. This bogus notion is so extremely hilarious that it almost screams for applause - but not quite. Cigarette smoking is not a right. The Constitution does not grant people the right to smoke. However, it does give Congress and the states the power to protect the health of its citizens, and this incl_udes protecting people from involuntary inhalation of tobacco smoke. This so-called right to smoke is an obvious deception fabricated by the cigarette compa-

nies who want smokers to believe that others are out to take away their " rights." Smokers are under the demented impression that they are doing society a favor by allowing their smoking to be restricted to certain designated areas. The point is that public smoking is unconstitutional. There is no argument that individuals should have the privilege of indulging in such murderous, se lf-destructive activities; but forcing innocent people to breathe a di seaseproducing, addictive killer is wrong. Smokers are ignorant and self-righteous. They only care about their cigarettes. The only solution other than making smoking completely illegal is to evict smokers from our planet Earth, and place them onÂˇ a faraway, deserted island so they can smoke themselves to their inevitable deaths. At least this way innocent people wouldn't have to suffer.

HELP! Is anyone out there? I can't be the only person who knows that the California Civil Rights Initiative is a wo lf in sheep's clothing. It is a CCRime. Recently, conversations that began with the particulars ofCCRI have turned into heated spew-fests on everything from welfare to cabbage. I had the distinct pleasure of listening to one man yell for five minutes that he did not need to "beg" for anything. What this all has to do with CCRI,I am not sure, but since the mere mention of the initiative inspires such gibberish, it leads me to conclude that folks are not sure what the initiative is , or its impact if it passes. CCRI wi ll ban affirmative action for women and minorities in public employment. education and contract ing. Affirmative action is a touchy subject, but it is not my intention to argue for it. I want to point out, however, that the current point system in the University of California is a legitimate way for officials to determine which of the thousands of eligible candidates are going to fill the limited slots. When you apply for a job, you send out a resume. On it, you outline your education, and mention extracurricular acti vities, hobbies, awards and anything that sets you apart from the hundreds of others. Employers try to find the candidate who not only meets the requirements, but has gone above and beyond the norm . How are admissions officials expected to cope with a similar situation? The answer they have found is the point system. Many people think the points are based only on gender and race, but points are also awarded for letters of recommendation, economic hardship, geographic location, grades, sports, music, art, student government and, yes, ethnic background and gender. The important thing is that students get more points for activities. Regardless, there is a scary clause to the CCRime. Clause "C" will permit sex discrimination as long as it is "reasonably" necessary. People may think that this isn't a big deal, but this clause changes things in a BIG WAY. Basically, the California Supreme Court made a precedent-setting ruling making it illegal to discriminate against women without "compelling" purpose. This means that outreach programs aimed at high-risk, and under-represented groups could be eliminated. Women 's centers on campuses could close. Public school administrators could stop funding women's sports programs. They only have to prove that it is "reasonable" to do so. Women could be excluded from some employment opportunities if it were "reasonably necessary ." There are instances where uniform-sizes, weight requirements, or the possibility that a woman might have kids have all been deemed "reasonable" by courts. This can't happen again. In the words of The Campaign to Save Women's Rights and Civil Rights: WE WON'T GO BACK!

Should we allow tobacco companies to advertise at family-oriented functions~

â&#x20AC;˘ Children get the message at home Jenni Kendall Feature Editor

As long as mothers and fathers continue to smoke, tobacco companies should be allowed to sponsor family events such as concerts and the Del Mar Fair. Many organizations depend on private funding for their events. In these difficult times, such organizations have struggled to identify and capitalize on every possible source of funding. In 1992, Imperial Tobacco announced that it would donate $1 million in prize money annually to the players LTD International Tennis Championship. These players don't smoke. Women's tennis has a tournament called the "Virginia Slims (yes, cigarettes) Tournament." What do antitobacco advocates propose to call this tournament if they don't approve of its name? Tobacco-ad restrictions are harmful to the concept of free speech. "Save the children" is a widely-heard battle cry that finds little opposition in current society. Yet, no one is standing up for the parents who smoke. They are quiet, feeling inadequate, because society shuns this age-old addiction. The tobacco industry spent $24,662,674 on California state political activities during

the '94 election. Candidates never refused their checks due to their high ideals or the fear of losing the votes of anti-tobacco supporters. Perhaps the biggest challenge to the First Amendment in the name of children came last summer when the Clinton Administration proposed broad restrictions on tobacco advertising that might be seen by minors. Impressionable cbildren are oblivious to that pack of Marlboro Lights in their big sister's purse, right? Now, the traditional First Amendment advocates are begrudgingly starting to rally for the tobacco industry. Advertising and media organizations are assembling what one member called a "dream team" of media lawyers to fight the regulations in court. By stifling the capacity of the media to sell advertising, they strike at its heart. Most of the advertising and media people involved probably hate tobacco products, but they are trying to protect the right. This has now become much bigger than tobacco. Media advocates worry that the climate may be shifting, and restrictions in the name of children may find more favor in the courts. The clearest sign of this came Aug. 31 when the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld severe restrictions in Baltimore on outdoor advertising of alcoholic beverages. In California the laws are still on the side of alcohol. You can drink a brewski while listening to a local jazz band in the AnheuserBusch Beer Gardens at the Del Mar Fair.

Staff Editorial

Voters should know the facts The Associated Student Government wi II soon conduct voting to approve a mandatory fee to pay for a new Student Union, but any student who votes should seriously consider all the iss ues relating to the fee proposal before voting. If passed, the Student Center fee would require students taking classes at Palomar' s main San Marcos campus to pay $1 per unit, not to exceed $10 per student per school year, in addition to paying previously required fees for enrollment and health/accident insurance. Only those receiving financial assistance, like AFDC, SSI or General Assistance, would be exempt from the fee. The collection would start in the fall '97. The ASG has asked selected teachers to distribute and collect ballots from their students duringclassMay 6-10. Since teachers will be instructed not to speak in favor

of or against the fee proposal, students need to analyze the measure for themselves. There is a need for a larger Student Union if Palomar's population continues to grow, but students should question the un certainties of the proposal. While proponents of the measure say the fee will remain until construction costs are paid , we must take caution anytime government bodies are allowed to charge a fee without specific boundaries. The exact cost and time required to build the center is unknown. This proposal is simply the first step in a lengthy process to design , plan, finance and build the Student Center. Even after the center's construction , fees will pay for continued maintenance. Current students should decide whether they believe a new student center is necessary. The current Student Union reaches its peak occupancy during lunch hours. but it

remai ns vacant most of the day. While the ASG, faculty and adm inistrati on's statement of support for the student center proposal may produce a positive image for their organizations and the college, recurring concerns by students for creating a student activities fee rem am a dead issue . The ASG has held numerous Student Center fee elections in the past decade, and each of the previous fee proposals were met with little support by the student body . Perhaps the ASG should create a student activities fee in which students could be charged an optional fee of$1 per semester. Funds generated by a student activities fee would yie ld greater financial resources for clubs and other student organizations to hold campus-wide events or specific activities. This would yield immediate benefits, and it would serve more students.

Letters to the Editor

SM campus needs Student Center From May 6 to May I 0, students attending classes on the San Marcos campus of Palomar will have an opportunity to do something significant for future students - vote for a Student Center. Students should be familiar with the arguments in favor of the Student Center and the proposed faciliti es that will be in it. The only way Palomar College can get a Student Center is if students vote in favor of building one (see Ed. Code 72253). There are only two concerns, the cost and the number of votes needed. If passed, it will cost $1 per unit but no more than $10 per academic year. The fee will not go into effect until fall '97. By that time, many of the students voting will have graduated, transferred, or quit attending classes. The other concern is the number of votes needed. Twenty percent of the students attending classes on the San Marcos campus must vote (3, 129). Two-thirds of

the students (2,097) must vote "yes" in order for the measure to pass. The only way to get that many stude.nts to vote is to take the ballots to the classrooms. In reality , current students are voting for a "user fee" that future students will pay to get and use a modern facility. It is an opportunity to do something for Palomar College and future students (younger siblings, future children?). I urge all students to vote, and I urge them to vote YES.

Reporter needs to research facts Brian Wallace finishes his column of techno-rantings ''Byte This!'' (in your April 26, 1996 issue) with the queston ''Can you believe that Palomar still has no access to the Internet for its students?'' Well, I can't believe that Brian hasn't been up to the

library lately because, since early this semester, we have been providing free access to the Internet for research purposes to students, faculty and staff. The library has four workstations accessi ble during open hours, for half hour time slots. The stations are located on the second floor, adjacent to thereferencedesk. Because we realize that the Net is a good tool for academic research, the current guidelines for use include: no e-mail, no downloading, no chat groups, etc. Printing is I0 cents a page, with the first page free. Also, in the very near future, the computer assisted instruction lab will be providing many additional internet access stations as soon as the new hardware arrives. So, if Brian or anyone else needs more information on the Internet, or anything else for that matter, please come up to the library and ask for help at the reference desk.

ENTERTAINMENT Post-war 'Macbeth' is no tragedy • Great acting and effortless humor make play worthy of Shakespeare Carla Van Wagoner SwffWriter

If William Shakespeare could stand up and applaud the latest incarnation of his tale "Macbeth," he would. Palomar's production of the classic tragedy is a winner with very few low points. Under the direction of Pat Larmer, Macbeth and all of the woes and schemes of his life have been given a post-apocalyptic theme. This treatment of his play is convincing and works well. Abandoned city streets and buildings become the fields for conquest and battle. A once democratic society is ensconced in chaos and turmoil. The era of feudalism and sword fights is brought to the future. Kings now rule and become targets for assassins and madness. Plot twists and turns abound and become a tangled web of intrigue, lies and danger. L. Alexander Hays' portrayal of the ambitious Macbeth is admirable. His presence on stage is large and impressive. He commands an audience's attention as a king would command his army. Equally impressive is Brandon Pritchard as Macduff. Pritchard and Hays' sword fighting scenes arc intense and keep audience members glued to the edge of their seats. Stage combat choreographer Rick Pallaziol did a stupendous job of teaching these young actors the art of real sword play and death without the blood. Lisa Roth's performance as Lady Macbeth outshines the men. Her vitality, sexiness, scheming ways and determination to see her husband on the throne are top rate. She is convincing as a woman driven by an ambition equal to that of her on-stage spouse. From the moment she steps onto the stage until her character's death she is captivating and commanding. Macbeth could not help but follow a woman this strong. Shakespeare's ability to draw a dark and bleak picture is not wifuout points of humorous or sarcastic tones. Larmer has picked up on these tones brilliantly and brought them

into the limelight to add more humor and a better understanding of Macbeth ·s situation. The best of this is the portrayal of the three witches. They don't just boil up trouble for Macbeth, but bring an evil sense of fun to the stage. Larmer's idea of having a TV as the devil from which the witches get their visions of Macbeth's future in one scene is outstanding and played extremely well. Toni Cafaro, Nikyta Palmisani and Desiree Ducharme as the witches numbers one, two and three, respectively, are wonderful. They provide great comedic relief as well as providing Macbeth a glimpse into his future. Their comic timing is perfect and brings laughter to audience members. The witches are not the only ones with the abili ty to bring a smile to audiences' faces. Ricky Delorey II as the doctor in charge of Lady Macbeth and her madness is equally relieving a comed ic relief. Delorey may only be on stage briefly but his impression is lasting. Costume designer Jan Hemenway- Moore gave us a wonderful impression of what clothing styles will be like in the future. She mixed the styles of the present with a touch of Shakespeare' s Elizabethan era. She created costumes that arc intriguing to look at and to try and figure out where the old and the new mix. Completing the feeling of the post-apocalyptic mood is the set designed by faculty member David H. Boyd. Boyd's three-storyhigh set is excellent for both the inner and metaphysical realms ofMacbeth' s world. The height and complexity alone can be impressive. The abi lity to have an outdoor scene and an indoor scene play out in the same location without becoming confusing is outstanding. The few low points of this production can be summed up very simply. First, the play seems rushed. The dialogue is spoken much too quickly. There are times when characters, in the rush to get their lines out. muffle them. The play may be long but if it can not be understood it feels like it is a lot longer. Second, the dialogue gets lost between the rafters and the staged action. It can't be heard over the witches' cackles, sounds of war or

Lady Macbeth (Lisa Roth) and Macbeth (l. Alexander Hays) share a tender moment in the Performing Arts Department's production of Shakespeare's "Macbeth." the lack of projection. As powerful as Macbeth is. he isn't fully understood in his madness scene because of the combination of interference and rapid speech. Shakespeare may be long, but his work needs to be savored like a good wine or a cigar. Third, the actors are not comfortable with

the set itself. The last point should dissipate in time. All in all, this production was worth the time to see. It is enjoyable. interesting and intriguing . Audiences are sure to fall in love with the works of Shakespeare all over again. "Macbeth's" tinal three performances are May 3 and 4 at 8 p.m. and May 5 at 2 p.m .

Bad acting, tired plot make 'Wire' torturous Steve Zivanic Contributing Writer

Pamela Lee stars in movie, "Barb Wire."

new

"Barb Wire" is horrible . It's as bad as you can imagine it to be, and then some. I can't believe such a deplorable B-movie actually made it to the big screen. I've seen better movies on a rusted 30-year-old Sears television set that only gets VHF reception. In fact, I've seen better movies with Erik Estrada starring in the title role. Yeah, you know, that big-headed guy from CHiPs. Even his lame movies provide more en tertainment than ''Barb Wire." This crappy film's star attraction is Pamela Lee, a ls o known to her worldwide legion of male followers as the partially plastic bimbo C.J. Parker on the syndicated television series "Baywlltch." However, in this film, her wonderfully artificial body does very little to save the disgraceful storyline which plagues this pieceoftrash cinema from the very start. The story takes place in the not-too-distant future where biology is used to kill, not cure, in a country devastated by Civil War. Gee, how original. Lee and a group of no-name losers try to fightthe forces of evil and end up destroying more of the surroundings than

Film Review

Iii

••••••••••••••••••••• the so-called enemies themselves. The film's focus is a small band of rebels who tight the sinister government, a tried-and-expired concept that' s been around for decades. Except in this film, it gets even more annoying. Just so you have a better understanding of what I'm bickering about, check out this excerpt from the press release: "She won't takes--- and she won't take sides. Every man wants her. No man can have her. She's a woman with high standards in a world oflowest common denominators." She 's not about to waste her time with a man unless he has a really big one and knows how to use it- a brain, that is." OK, so I added that last sentence. Uhh, OK. So what's the point, you ask? Exactly, I don't know either. I just saw the movie and came back more confused than when I entered the theater. But that little passage should give you.a good indication as to how ridiculous this movie really is. The

acting is so bad in this film that it makes Sylvester Stallone look like a really, really good actor. It makes me want to bail out that guy who played Lamont on "Sanford and Son," and give him a starring role in a film with a $100 million budget. Honestly . The acting is that bad. The tilm looks like it was just thrown together at the last minute- as if the guys in the editing room had a little too much LSD laying around back there. The scenes don't flow- some don 't even belong in the film, the music is utterly disgraceful (Tommy Lee?), and nothing seems to work. The film looks like it was rushed. Of course, I won't blame Pamela Anderson Lee for this, the meathead director is to blame. Some guy named David Hogan makes his directorial debut with "Barb. Wire," and I have a feeling this will be his last film for a while. But anyhow, back to Lee. Don ' t get me wrong, her acting capabilities are crucial to those colorful beach scenes in Baywatch with David Hassel hoff songs blasting in the background, but I believe Lee could do all of Hollywood and America one big favor- by staying away t'rom the big screen. Pamela Lee is made for home video and TV, and ·that's it.

Teen-age enchantresses cast a bewitching spell in 'The Craft' Chris Tribbey Swf{ Writer

According to Judea-Christian beliefs. being a witch means that you worship the devil. Columbia/ TnStar's latest release, "'The Craft'' dispels these false beliefs about the o ldest pagan religion in the world. and IS an entertammg mov1e to boot. ''The Craft"' is about four high school outcasts at the fictional St. Benedict's Academy, which starts out at a slow pace with cute oneliners and a horrible opening plot line. Nancy (Fairuza Balk) comes from a white trash home with an abusive father and a drug addict mother. Bonnie (Neve Campbell of the TV series '·Party of Five'') lives with both emotional and physical scars. Rochelle (Rachel True) is the subject of constant raci!>m. Sarah (Robin Tunney of"'Lifc Goes On' ' ) is the new. and ignored. girl on campus. When Sarah meets and finds acceptance in the odd crowd, she dis-

covers that her newfound friends arc practicing witches. Sarah is also told by occult shop owner Lirio (Assumpta Serna) that she has the innate ability and powers of a witch. The movie gets exciting when the group of four holds a circle ritual to invoke the power of the elements. Each of the girls wishes for what they most desire. When their wishes come true (which also results in two deaths) the movie picks up enough speed and excitement. accompanied with fabulous visual effects. to make you think twice about ever offending a witch. Nancy calls for all the power of Manon (the fictional figure of the power a witch worships) to come to

her. Sarah wishes for .Chris (Skeet Ulrich). a jock who spreads sexual rumors at school about her. to be her s lave. Bonnie wishes for her scars to heal. both inside and out, and Rochelle wishes for revenge against the bigots at school. In mag~c. whatever energy you usc, good or bad, comes back to you threefold. The girls learn this quickly when Nancy is struck by lightning during a ritual at the beach and becomes fiendishly evil, magical and power-thirsty. The first half hour of"The Craft" was at best slow. The last 20 minutes were crap. Yet the hour in between was purely magical and entertaining. "The Craft" was full of many insights into the religion that over 250,000 Americans practice today and offered a view of both sides of witchcraft. Do you bcllc,;vc in magic h.'! If so. The Craft"' will not only pique your interest. it might give you a few ideas. If not, this mm ic will not only entertain you. it will convert you.

Comedic group Chicago City Limits performs in Escondido city limits • Comedy troupe to perform at Center for the Arts Peter Marro ContriblltiiiR Writer

Chicago City Limits is New York's longest-running comedy revue. They have been performing their unique style of comedy and improvisation since 1979 and have played such diverse venues as the Smithsonian Institution to the 1995 Super Bowl. They have appeared on HBO, CNN, and CNBC and have been joined on stage by such stars as Jerry Seinfeld , Paul Reiser, and Robin Williams. Chicago City Limits will be performing a t the California Center for the Arts, Esco ndid o May 4 at 8 p.m. and will a lso be giving a master class of comedy impro v isati on from 3 to 5 p.m. The show's producer, Ges Selmont, recently answered questions about Chciago City Limits:

Ho w did th e name Chicago CitY Limits come about, and why is the

troupe in New York? Almost 20 years ago they were performing with the Second City and decided to start their own company, but found o ut they could not compete because Second City had people like John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd They decided to take it on the road, and as they were driving to L.A., they saw a sign that said "Leavi ng Ch icago city limits" and said, ''That's our name."

What happened in Los Angeles? They played local clubs like the Icc House and then went to Vegas and played some of the casinos there a nd hit New York a nd were so successfu l he re, we opened a theater a nd now do s ix shows a week here.

Is Chicago City Limits the longest running comedy revue in New York? Yes, we are. We are also the second-longest running production in New York. second only to a show called "Fantasticks."

The new edition (www.winzip.com) has a '' wizard" to walk inexperienced users step-by-step through the unzipping and installation of programs .

It is unique to that night 's audience because they are such a big part of the show . We do a Shakespearean play with a narrator asking for suggestion from the audience.

Rage scores with the infectious 'Empire' Justin Ponsor SwffWriter

When I first heard the title of Rage Against the Machine's new album, "Evil Empi re, " I pictured Darth Vader and the Emperor gracing the cover in that one pose from ·'Return of the Jedi." You know the one, "Now, young Skywalker. you will die ... " Okay ... maybe that's just me. Anyhow. I was thoroughly disappoinied to not only not find everyone's favorite villians, but to find an adolescent, cape-toting superhero-type on the garish, ye ll ow cover. While no one ever warned against judging a CD by its cover, I decided to give it a whirl, regardless of the ugliness of it (and so that I wouldn't have to die by my editor's hands), and consequently became addicted to it. Now, I'm a stickler for rhythm and groove, but there is just no denying that something in their music causes one's head to bob involuntarily to the beat and to hit " replay" at the end of the album just one more time. I assure you tfuit, on this album, it's not just the same old shtick from four years ago rehashed and rerecorded. They 've taken their patented Rit"fy Rap-Rock© to a new peak, thanks to the inventiveness of guitarist Tom Morello and some of his ever-handy stompbox effect-processors.

"I come up with a kooky noise," Morello told Guitar Player magazine , "a nd that 's good enough ... Within that realm of bizarre noise, you can find a lot o f expression." f,.nd bizarre, expressive noi ses abound on "Empire," including a Terminator-X inspi red solo on "B ulls on Parade," in which the Harvard graduate g uit arist simulates the so und of record scratching with his guitar. And damn well, I might add. Aside from their music, it 's hard to talk about the Rage phe- nomenon without menti o ning the activist bent of the band, as seen in their lyrics , which speak out against opression and other social injustices. (There. I mentioned it). "It's critical that radical voices have the opportunity to breach through the normal conservative vo1ces of the mamstream," asserts Morello. "To take that as far as we possibly can is our challenge." Well , my challenge is to find another album with more all-out infectiousness than this one, if that can be done. Otherwise I'll have it permanently installed in my stereo. In fact, I was so inspired that I'm becoming somewhat of an ac tivist myself. I'm starting a movement to reform music standards, requiring that every band groove this hard. Still. .. I really wanted to see Darth Vader. ..but I guess no band can be perfect.

Comets continue tourney play

â&#x20AC;˘ Tennis teams gear up for Southern California Michael G. Douglas and State tournamen-ts New women's b-ball scheduled for '97 In an effort to create an unnecessary rivalry, the National Basketball Assoc iation recently approved the start of a women's basketball league in '97. At first glance it appeared to be a good idea, because it would give women a chance to showcase their talent. But there is a small problem- there will be another women's league starting in '97. The American Basketball league will also be starting up in '97, so the two leagues could spell disaster for women's basketball in the United States. The two leagues will be fighting for the same players, fans and revenue. It happened in volleyball with the WPVL and the A VP, and they eventually had to join up and form one league. The ABL plans to have a 40-game season, October through December. The ABL is also asking players to sign contracts with them exclusively, so the ABL will have sole rights to the players, preventing the ir participation in the new league the NBA is starting. The ABL has signed most of the U.S. national team. This will leave most of the best players in the world in one league. How will the new league the be able to survive? They plan to have eight teams in the new league, strategically placed in NBA cities that have popular women players from nearby colleges. The Los Angeles. San Francisco/Oakland, Houston/Dallas/San Antonio. and Boston/New York areas should get teams. They will also play 28 games from June through August, shorter than the ABL's season. The new league should have some U.S. national team players like Sheryl Swoops and Rebecca Lobo. The league will also have such college stand-outs as Kate Starbird and Michelle Marciniak. In America, men are the majority of sports fans, and most men still haven't accepted the fact that women are our equals. Maybe I was just lucky to be raised by women and not very good at sports, so I learned valuable lesson s when I was young. Women can play sports and be good at them. Because the baseball players went on strike in 1994, the Colorado Silver Bullets-an allwomen's baseball team- had the opportunity to be on TV. ESPN decided to show the Silver Bullets, women's college and beach volleyball, and women's college basketball in the time slots left empty due to the strike . This enlightened me to a whole new side of sports. The strike and ESPN are probably the main reasons that the two new women's basketball leagues are starting up, and why we have the National Volleyball Association (w hich has a team in San Diego) and a women's baseball league before the year2000. The only thing I hope for is that women and men will support these extraordinary athletes who are trying to break out of the mold. The women joining these leagues are some of the best athletes in the world. They know they will not be paid on a scale equal to the best in men's athletics. Most of these women will be working theirrealjobs and also playing sports, trying to be role models for the younger generation of women. They need our support.

Top-ranked Comets finish on the offensive â&#x20AC;˘ Offense emerged to relieve pitchers Eric Jones Stll{f Writer

Palomar's softball team (44-8-1, 14-1 ) is heading toward the conference playoffs with a vengeance. The Comets are the top-ranked team in the state, and they have hopes of recapturing the state championship. The Comets went into the season wondering who would be the ace of their pitching staff, but nobody knew that Palomar would have three top pitchers on the staff: Cathy Paiz ( 15-1 ), Danielle Robertshaw ( 17-5), and Erin Wieler ( 11-2) all could be an ace on any team. "When we started we really didn't know what we had," said Head Coach Mark Eldridge. "Then we got off to a pretty dog-

gone good start." While the team 's success earl y in the season can be attrib uted to their overall offense, the team 's winning rec ord right now is the result of a balance in its offense and defense. "Lisa Warren has shown a lot of promise in the o ffseason, and she kept improving during the season," sa id Eldridge. ''Katie Ziegler has came a long way also, so those two on the left side did real great." Offensively, the Comets have improved their team batting average from .32 1 last year to .3'68 this year. A lot of that is due to the Arkansas Razorback signees- Krista Belford, .485 with II home runs and 55 runs batted in; Lisa Flores, .368 with .three home runs and 39 RBis; and the Razorback's newest signee, Kim Bryant, .422 with 35 RBI's.

"(Kim ) is quite deserving of the sc holarship," said Eldridge. ''S he isn't just a fine athlete, but she's a great student also. I think it's a real good fit with her in the same lineup as Belford and Flores.'' Palomar 's other offensive standouts are Andrea Ferracone, who returned to the team after three years off and hit .412, drove in 26 runs and stole 12 bases . Polly Downey finished the season with an impressive .411 average. "I think we have what is the top record in the state of California. We won two tournament championships and got two second place finishes,'' said Eldridge. "It 's been a great season, especially considering losing our two All-Conference pitchers and catcher. We lost a lot, so coming back like we did this season I think was great." Palomar will be hosting the Southern California Regional Tournament May I 0 and II . The Comets will be selling raffle tickets at $1 each for dinners fortwo and sports gift certificates as fundraisers for the tournament.
