Legal problems may invalidate election • 'Electioneering,· lack of polling rules threaten proposal for new Student Union Suzette Clark Staff Writer
A Telescope investigation has revealed that guidelines established by the California Education Code and the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges may not have been followed while the special election was conducted to enact a $1 per unit fee to pay for the construction of a new Student Union. The mandatory 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. Only those receiving financial assistance. like General Assistance, SSI or AFDC, would be exempt. Questions began to surface May 8, when students began inquiring about the legality of signs behind the Student Union polling site. There was a large poster above a polling site urging students to "vote yes" for the Student Union. In addition, there
were handbills on the voting table that encouraged students to vote in favor of the Student Union fee. In federal, state and local elections, this type of promotion for a specific side of an issue or candidate, "electioneering," is forbidden within I00 feet of polling sites. The ASG Constitution and Bylaws have a Regular Election Code but has none for socalled special elections such as the one held for the new Student Union. The Regular Election Code states, "no handbills, election badges or posters may be displayed or distributed or posted or any act of campaignmg engaged in by the candidates or committees within the boundaries of the Student Union." Although this is specific for officers' elections, this and the recall election code both forbid "electioneering" from taking place at polling sites. The penalty for

Club holds campus fiesta Instructor's parking suit rejected by court Linda Isakson Sttl{f Writer
In celebration of Cinco de Mayo. the club Movimento Estudiantil Chicanos de Aztlan (MEChA) held "La Union Del Pueblo." a conference for local high school students, Friday May 3 from 8 a.m. to 2:30p.m. on the football field. ·· 'La Umon Del Pueblo' is an event designed to help educate high school students about the history of the Mexican I Chicano communities and encourage higher education. The kids benefitted from the information given at the confere nce, " said Pedro Silva, MEChA president. The conference featured workshops presented by a community based organization called 'Mex icanos Unidos in Dcfensa del El Pueblo ' (MUDP), as well as Palomar MEChA members. Other workshops included ·'Plan de Santa Barbara," "500 years of Chicano Struggle," "Chicana Issues," "Chicano Financial Issues" and "Barrio Arte." The final workshop presented was an informational and actiononented discussion on Affirmative Action programs and why those programs are needed on college campuses and in the workplace.

"Not everything that makes us mad in life is worth going out and filing a lawsuit over," San Diego County Commissioner Larry Jones told Palomar Business instructor John Leahy as he denied Leahy's lawsuit against the college regarding its parking policies. Leahy sued Palomar for $5,000 because he said the policy of making teachers pay $25 to replace lost parking permits was "making a presumption that teachers had done something mischievous." Once in court, Leahy lowered his lawsuit to $25. Jones denied the lawsuit, saying the school was simply following set policies. He said the policy was clearly stated in Leahy 's contract with the school as well as the Faculty Manual, that any faculty member who loses their parking permit is required to pay a $25 replacement fee. ''We're just glad it's over," said Mike Gregoryk. vice president of Administrative Services, who represented Palomar in court. "It's time to move forward." Gregoryksaid the rule was implemented to discourage faculty members from giving parking permits to relatives or friends.
Though Gregoryk said Leahy could have resolved the matter by gomg m front of a college panel, Leahy decided to take the matter to court. If he won the lawsuit, Leahy had planned to go before Palomar's Governing Board to have the rule changed. Leahy said he does not intend to pursue the matter any further. "Once you get employed by Palomar College, according to the law, you are stuck with whatever policies they choose to set up, no matter how arbitrary, no matter how egregious," said Leahy. Leahy cited policies of other colleges in pointing out that Palomar charges an excess amount to replace parking permits. Mira Costa allows faculty members one free replacement and charges $8.50 for any additional replacement. This lawsuit marked the second time Leahy had sued Palomar over its parking policies. In 1986, he 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.

Professors charged with drug making conspiracy CARROLLTON, Ga.-Two West Georgia College biology professors are facing federal drug manufacturing charges after they allegedly used campus laboratories to produce the drug methamphetamine. Dr. Spencer Hiroshi Hamada, 53, of Bowden, Ga., and Dr. Dwight Keith Romanovicz, 47, of Carrollton, Ga., both tenured professors of the WGC biology department, were arrested by DEA agents on charges that they "conspired to manufacture and distribute methamphetamme. .. and to manufacture and distribute manjuana." Hamada was arrested at his Bowden home April 21, while Romanovicz turned himself in to Carrollton policeApril22. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration alleges that
Hamada and Romanovicz diverted chem ical and supplies from the college to produce the methamphetamine, also known as "crank" or "speed." The professors also are accused of growing marijuana in their homes but are not accused of selling drugs to students. Hamada and Romanovicz were suspended with pay with week pending a full investigation into the charges, said college officials. An 18-month investigation using undercover federal agents revealed that both Hamada and Romanovicz may have been involved in the buying and selling of glassware and chemicals used to produce methamphetamine. Also the affidavit alleges that an undercover DEA agent met with Ham ada to buy glassware and chemicals
needed to produce methamphetaime in late March. In early April, $2,500 in cash was exchanged for the materials . Later that week, Hamada allegedly sold the agent a quarter pound of marijuana grown by Romanovicz for $600. According to Tom Mackel, chief ofWGC Public Safety, there are no known incidents of either professor distributing either methamphetamine or marijuana to students on campus. Romanovicz was arraigned April22 in front of a federal magistrate 10 Atlanta and released on $35.000 bond. Hamada was arraigned April 25. At press time, bond had not yet been posted. If convicted, Hamada and Romanovicz each face a maximum $2 million line and up to 40 years in prison.

Latter-Day Saints club will repaint hillside 'P' in fall • Group looking for assitance from all students Rick Martinez CmurihutiiiK Writer
Palomar's Latter-Day Saints Student Association will be retouching the large "P" on top of Owens Peak, just outside of parking lot 9. "[The LDSSA] would like to have anyone who would like to help from campus," said Rei va Whetten, an instructor here at Palomar's Institute of Religion, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The LDSSA had originally planned to retouch the •·p" this semester; however. the decision was made to wait until next semester in order to try and secure more funding for the project as well as a larger turnout of volunteers. "We thought we might try and target for next semester and do it during homecoming week," said Whetten. "By that time, clubs will probably be organized and set in place. ··so about that time, we'd like to start getting people aware of what's happening and get people involved." Getting the word out to potential volunteers is an obstacle the LDSSA plans to tackle in a variety of ways. "We'd like to advertise it in the newspaper, so people know what's going on, and so we can get a little public support," said Whctten. "We'll put notices around, also through the clubs, and let them announce it to their club members." Whetten assured that students interested in helping out with the retouching shouldn't feel uncomfortable about working along side of a religion-oriented club. "It's a student association on campus," said Whetten. 'This club on campus is just like any other club." Funding for the purchase of lime and paint for the "P" will come from money allocated to the LDSSA from Palomar.

Palomar College instructors may soon be unable to require students to purchase textbooks they have written because of a bill proposed by the California State Legislature. Currently n the agenda for the 1996 session of the California State Legislature's Education Committee is Senate Bill 1399. If passed , the bill would "prohibit a faculty member of any California community college, California State University, and University of California from selecting a publication to be used as a required reading for a course taught by that faculty member if the faculty member has an economic interest in the proceeds received from the sale of the publication." IfSB 1399 passes, Palomar instructors who currently require their students to purchase textbooks they authored will either be forced to choose other material for their students to study or donate all profits to a non-profit organization. . Last month during a Faculty Senate meeting Phil Baum·, Extended Opportunities Programs and Services counselor, reported a possible conflict of interest 111 textbook selection due to the fact that some faculty members are publishing their own work . The question that arose was whether

" -Phil Baum EOPS Counselor there IS a standardized means of selecting textbooks. Concerns for "academic freedom" and "academic mtegrity" were also discussed in the Faculty Senate meeting. "My concern is for academic integrity,. We need to make sure that teachers aren't being unethical by trying to make money," said Baum. A proposal that would have required all departments to develop and use a standardized. in-house textbook selection process was voted down by the Faculty Senate last month , however. Faculty Senate members voting against the proposal said they believed there were already sufficient textbook-selection guidelines in place. Faculty Senate President Bonnie Dowd drafted a letter to all department chairs mforming them of the discussion, and encouraging them to '·avo id the perception of any co nfli ct of interest tn textbook selection within each department."

The library's computer assisted instruction lab will receive 40 new Pentium computers some time this summer. The computers, which are valued at over $120,000 will each feature Internet access.
Library computer lab gets $120K for new equipment Catharine Hines SwffWriter
Palomar College library's computer lab will get $120,000 in new Pentium computers in a major upgrade slated for this summer, according to Jay Alperson, computer assisted instruction specialist. The 40 new computers will replace the 40 existing computers of varying ages located in the computer lab on the first floor. ''The plan ts to get them this summer, and then we would have them up by fall," Alperson said. ''It will be a completely new lab." For the past three to four years the upgrade has just been a dream, according to Alperson. "We've been asking and asking for about the last three or four years. Finally, it looks like it's going to happen." Though. the exact date the com-
puters will be ordered and arrive on campus is still being determined, the computers are coming, according to Alperson. The purchase will mean 44 total Internet units available for use by library patrons. "It will dramatically increase student access to information throughout the world," Alperson said. "A lot of the courses here are taught with old information. This lets the information be as up-to-date as the mstructor and student want to make it. So it's a significant change that way." The new computers will be 133 megahertz Pentiums made by IBM, with Microsoft Windows 95 installed as the operating system. They will also feature Netscape Internet access and printer access similar to the four on-line computers located on the second floor of the library. But Alperson said noth-
ing is definite except the funding. Once the units arrive, the library computer assisted instruction lab personnel will hook them up. Alperson said the library will host workshops to train students on how to maximize usage out of the new computers. "It takes a while to learn how to really 'mine' the Internet and to know how to use it effectively, but once you know, you can find incredible information," Alperson said. "Individual classes will also be coming in and using it once it's up and running." According to Alperson, some of the 40 computers currently hooked up wi II be moved to Camp Pendelton where they will be used for Palomar-sponsored classes. Other units will be distributed throughout the campus at the discretion of Diane Michaels, vice president of instruction.

violating this part of the code is disqualification from an election. Jim Bowen, Student Activities director and ASG adviser, confirmed that there were no codes written in the bylaws for special e lections. Upon hearing students' concerns, Bowen asked Marilyn Lunde, Student Activities secretary, to remove all posters and handbills from the polling site, stating that it was electioneering, and could be violating election procedures. "No, we didn't put any rules on this one," said Lunde, "In fact we have never had rules for this [kind of election]."

election guideline called for in the Education Code. Unlike the Regular Election Code, the fact sheet does not address issues such as publicity, ballots, and polling site regulations. Boggs contacted The Telescope after discussing the situation with Baldridge. Boggs sa id he felt that the situation was a res ult of an oversig ht. The e lection was supported by the Governing Board in January 1994, and the ASG distributed information about the new Student Union for at least two months. Boggs did say that Palomar was consulted "legal counsel" concerning the matter. "A t this point, we are gathering information to determine whether the election [code] can be ratified after the fact," said Boggs. Boggs also said that the other issue of concern was if the wording of the ballot was specific enough in regards to the fee. The issue may be inconsequential, however. As of press time on May 9, I ,900 students had voted. In order for the proposition to pass, a total of 3,129 students are required to vote. Of those students, 2,097 would have to vote m favor of creating the Student Union fee .

"To The Faithful Departed," The Cranbcrries'latest release, takes the band's political and personal agendas in a new musical direction. A direction that is sure to garner praise from fans around the world. The Irish rockers, best known for angry anthems, fill "To The Faithful Departed" with a variety of musical moods ranging from upbeat to nostalgic. but with depressing lyrics. Lost loves and war still predominate. A softer-sounding Dolores O'Riordan has emerged. showing more depth in her vocal abilities. The single "Salvation,'' is makingaleapforthetop 10. "Salvation" carries a danceable anti-drug message. "It's a very satirical song about a very serious subject." Noel Hogan said. There arc several highlights on "To The Faithful Departed." "When You're Gone" is soulful. simple and reminiscent of ·sos ballads both in lyrical content and arrangement. The haunting and poignant ballad "War
The Cranberries are: Mike Hogan (bass, left), Dolores O'Riordan (vocals), Feargal Lawler (drums) and Noel Hogan (guitar). Child" is teaming with emotion. "Electric Blue" is equally moving. This tune gives the feeling of a Catholic hymn - deep and rich. It's reminiscent of their previous hit "Zombie" but is lighter in tone. slower in melody and not as angry.
The last of the compositions is ·'Bosnia." This track begins softer and builds in tempo, has wonderful vocals and straightforward lyrics. There arc 13 songs for listeners to tap their feet or think about life and love as seen through their eyes.

"This record with its affluent poppunk Green Day-inspired rhythms is a sure to be a MTV Buzz-bin contender. ... " Aahh! That seems to be an affliction of most reviews these days when its concerning "punk-rock" and its beginning to turn color. Today we have a nifty offering from Huntington Beach's very own Guttermouth that's sure to stay clear the hell away from MTV and maybe even late-night on KROQ, Not that "Teri Yakimoto" sucks, it's quite refreshing but, the underground nature and off off-beat humor may not be suited for the Rancid bourgeoisie. With their CD, Guttermouth
proves you can write tight melodic bass rhythms and crispy riffs without turning into a sloppy mess of pop decadence. Guttermouth's learning to play the chops better and "Teri Yakimoto" is a step towards straight-ahead punk (at least for them) and the sound is superior to the last record ''Friendly People." ''Teri Yakimoto" is crafty shakeyour-butt, flail your arms, melodic (not pop), So-Cal punk-rock in the good-time mode of The Vandals. They borrow moderately from the riffs and chords on the open-market and tweak them in the patented Guttermouth way. On record, the track "Whiskey," is the most sickeningly catchy song ever recorded except maybe Devo's ''Whip It." While they are not on the caliber ofDevo, Guttermouth can position
themselves as one of the more original bands around the scene. Punkrock's answer to a spitting llama, Mark Adkins spits and screams deathly amusing anecdotes sure to offend pantywaists of every stripe and creed. Take the track, "7t's"where in punk-rock tradition, Adkins pokes a little satirical fun at hippies. ''Your girlfriend is a filthy and stoned out of her mind/ She hasn't had a shower since 1969/ You can't even read,youcan'teven spell... God damn hippie's always smell like shit, piss, hemp, and eggs ... " Guttermouth has proven one can record an album chock-full of melodic bliss while avoiding all those prissy pop tricks that are lately bringing other records down. And Adkins has the charisma clinging to his skin.

nestly sung harm onies and a pounding bac kbcat keep the listener following along rather than drifting off. Vocall y, Mc Kee has obtained more control o f her voice, and it altern ates between being coarse on ''I'm Not Listenin g" to high-pitched on .. Carri ed ." She continues to write or co-write all the songs, and her musings on life - sans Alanis Morrisette' s overblown ''I'm young and I'm angry" altitude - is more about observations than being about c o mplaint s or proble ms. This is exemplificd in the memorable titl e track , written for the common person. "This one is for the boy who's not all owed to be part of the ga ng ... Life is sweet, bittersweet, and the days keep ro lling along." Some may remember McKee for her prev io us so ngs. "S ho w Me Heaven" fro m the mov ie " Days of T hunder" or the tune " If Love is a Red Dress (Hang Me in Rags)" from " Pulp F iction." Mc Kee may initially lose some li ste ners with the album 's li ve, unfi ltered sound. But through repeated plays, li steners could discover ho w Mc Kee' s simple chord progression complements her vocals and lyrics, which ultimately c reates a rock album that both soothes a nd exc ites .

• Militias represent freedom for everyone
• Militias are a threat to national security
Andrew Tomacelli
Rob Denny
ColllributillN Writer
Staf!Wmer
In the earliest inception of the American government, settlers were not dedicated to becoming a world power. Rather, the intent and purpose of the American Revolution was to ensure the accessibility of the common man to become involved in daily government activities. American citizens were allowed to function and prosper with as little government intervention as possible. Times have changed, however, and infringements upon our civil liberties have become a daily event. Faced with a fascist threat from within our government. the disorganized militias like the Freemen stand as the last misguided battalion of gun-toting freedom fighters, dedicated to rebellion. They fight not to protect our American constitutional rights so much as they fight for their own civil liberties and, in doing so, pose a threat to the government's overwhelming attempt at totalitarianism. When America was led by the people, the Constitution was necessary to protect the rights of the average citizen from Britain. The Constitution was almost a novelty as the government was not made up of politicians, but average businessmen who were forced by responsibility into political roles. The very idea of our tiny revolutionary nation becoming a world superpower would have been ludicrous to them. Now, when the United States has attained a level of control similar to that of Britain during the 18th century, and that tiny aging piece of paper has finally reached a point beyond usefulness, the government has chosen to change the rules. Governing officials line their pockets with our dollars and reward our blind adherence to the1r laws with countless violations of our freedoms. The average American dismisses these as acceptable casualties of a strong government and, with each passing day, elected officials gain power while we lose a bit of our accessibility to check their progress. Militias are a kind of militant speed bump to slow the corruption of our formerly idealistic government. Though misled, they pose a mild threat to our political leaders not in action, but in idea. They represent exactly what a totalitarian government must work to decimate - the refusal of a group from the lunatic fringe to submit to inanely oppressive laws. The government cannot have a group that questions its authority; after all, if one group does it, the trend might catch on, and everyone would want their freedom. Before you know it, the nation would be governing itself, and there would be no practical need for politicians. How truly frightening personal freedom for everyone would be. It is true that the methods of these militants are destructive. But, as Che Guevara once said, "In a revolution, one wins or dies." And there can be no stopping once started. These misguided revolutionaries are fighting to protect your right to jaywalk, or sunbathe naked by your swimming pool , as well as their overstated right to bear arms. One must remember that, though the feeble-minded military fanatics may be parroting only one small portion of the Constitution, they are diverting the government's attention from instituting other liberty-infringing legislation. After all, "The government that governs best, is the government that governs least." And your American government is working diligently to prove that.
Freemen? Free loaders would be more appropriate. The farm the "Freemen" are making their stand on is the same fam1 that accepted over $800,000 in subsidies from a governme nt they now call "corporate prostitutes ." You see, it's the "evil government's" fault that the "Freemen., couldn't run a business properly. It 's the Jews ' fault that they didn ' t pay their debts so banks foreclosed on personal property and land. It 's women's fault that they are charged with fraud , among other things now. It's minorities' fault they can't make a fair and decent living. All the problems the "Freemen" have created are, according to them, someone e lse's fault , even though they are the only ones who are responsible. These people aren't the ·'Robin Hoods" of the '90s. They aren't making a stand for the good of all humanity. They are criminals, thugs , liars, cheats - take your pick. After running their farms into the ground, they made up phony liens on computers, then deposited the phony liens into checking accounts and wrote checks on these accounts to arm themse Ives as if they were preparing for World War III. Of course, all the checks they wrote bounced, to the tune of$1.8 million- no big deal, right?They call themselves Anglo-Christian Americans , yet they tie themselves to the Christian Identity. a group so far right-wing they make the Christian Coalition look like liberals. CI is a group that feels "white is right, and if you ain't white," you better watch your back because there 's probably a bullet coming your way. My guess is these people used to be called the Ku Klux Klan. For two years these people have been on a rampage, tormenting neighbors with their guns, calling themselves the law of the land, threatening local officials and putting bounties on judges who issue warrants for their arrests. For two years local officials requested the help of the FBI to deal with these nuts. And when the FBI and ATF tinally moved in, they decided to surround the compound and wait for the "Freemen" to come out. Ah yes, life in the '90s. Sympathy for the user, abuser, felon - all law breakers who have been dealt a "raw hand" by "Corporate America." The whining of America, "It's not my fault I can't take care of myself. " OJ was framed, the Menendez brothers were sexually abused, Rodney King deserved millions of dollars to buy a few more beers to help him with his new trauma- where does it end? One FBI ofticial said, "We don't want another Waco." Another Waco? You mean the place where some nut decided he was God's disciple ; therefore. he could molest chi ldren, ann a bunch of nuts like himself and kill four ATF agents when they tried to serve him with a warrant for his arrest') And even though three arson experts t;ay Koresh and his followers were responsible for starting the fire that killed everyone inside the compound, some still blame the government. The best thing the FBI could do right now is t1atten the ·'Freemen." Letting these people continue to dictate policy IS giving the next group of "Freemen " hope. If they take these guys out with force, it will send a message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated. This "movement" is small in number but large in weaponry which poses a problem. It needs to be destroyed immediately before more innocent people arc hurt, as in the Oklahoma City bombing.
People calling themselves the "Freemen" have been barricaded on a farm in Montana for more than two months, refusing to surrender to authorities. While trying to serve members with arrest warrants for fraud and other felonies, FBI agents were met with armed resistance. While some people think authorities should use force to arrest members of this self-proclamed 1nilitia, the FBI and ATF want to avoid another situation like Waco. How should this situation be handled?

Turnabout is not always fair play Officials in Mexico showed colossal cajones this week by threatening the United States with a confrontation if something isn ' t done about the recent heati ngs and traffic- related deaths of illegal immigrants. Mexico's Minister of Foreign Relations. Angel Guerrfa, said his government will pressure the U.S. government to identify and punish those who abuse the human rights of migrant workers. What migrant workers? Every migrant involved was here illegally. And in the case of the traffic incidents, the smugglers weren't even being chased by Border Patrol agents. Because these extortioni sts panicked , they killed innocent people over blind, immoral greed. Guerrfa wants the heads of the Border Patrol agents involved on a si lver platter. They were only doing their jobs, but if the Mexican government had its way, we wouldn't have any Border Patrol at all. They say the methods used by agents are unacceptable. but they offer no feasible or even logical alternative. Opening o ur border completely is not the answer. Which brings me to another problem I have with Mexico's threats - what about human rights for people who visit Mexico? The treatment should flow evenly in both directions. Just last weekend a friend of mine was in a dance-club in Tijuana when the policia decided, for no apparent reason, to tear gas the club. There were no fights going on, nor was it closing time. If this happened here, everyone in the club- and anyone remotely related to anyone in the club - would be filing lawsuits before the sun came up. But no such " rights" exist for Americans while in Mexico. Twice a year my father and a group of his cronies drive deep into the heart of Mexico to drown bait...oops, I mean to fish. On the last trip, which was last month , they were pulled over five times. Never for doing anything illegal. because they were never issued citations, but just so the federates could take a look. On one trip my father had the pleasure of having machine guns drawn on him just because he- according to the federatesresembled someone who might ha vc committed a crime. Again, they harassed him then let him go. Where were his "human rights"? I'm not condoning any violence agains t any group of people. What I am suggesting is that the Mexican government start treating people the way they want to be treated. Remember the verse in the Bible that says, "Do unto others ... "

Athletes use drugs, go free Michael G. Douglas Staff Writer
Ever noticed how things happen in threes? In the past couple of weeks three sports personalities have been arrested on drug charges. Michael Irvin, who is a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, was the first, then Lawrence Taylor, who retired as an outside linebacker from the New York Giants · and most recently, Butch Hobson , former manger of the Boston Red Sox. Irvin was in a Dallas hotel with a woman who was charged with drug possession . Irvin was not originally charged with drug possession , but the woman told the police that Irvin had purchased the drugs. And recently, a Dallas telev1sion station caught Irvin on videotape buying drugs in a set-up. Taylor was arrested in New York while trying to purchase $100 worth of crack cocai ne from undercover police officers.

It was the usual kind of morning. Wake up to my alarm clock- two 18-month-old hands hitting me in the face, giving me an empty bottle. He wanted it full. It was 6 a.m. Not the worst way to wake up- a little face always happy to see me. Leaving to come to school is a different story altogether. The pangs of guilt are difficult to explain. It is the "Part Of Me" syndrome women are famous for. Part Of Me would rather stay home and be part of all the "firsts." I was at school when my son Andrew took his first steps and when he said his first word. Part of me knows that I have no future to offer Andrew and myself without an education, goals and plans. It is difficult at times, damn well hard. There are all-nighters for exams, earaches, finals, fevers, the newspaper and nightmares. But my situation is not unique. Far from it.

Then there's Hobson, who said he was sent two ounces of cocaine as repayment for a loan. Hobson said that he was arrested before he could turn the drugs in to the police. Now, I might give Hobson some lenie ncy, because it could have been a set-up, but he wasn't using common sense. But I want to know what was going though the minds of Irvin and Taylor when they first started doing drugs. Some athletes say it's one of two things- it's the pressure instant fame brings or the pain from playing while hurt. I've played sports, and I've experienced pain. I've had every bone broken, separated or dislocated at least once while playing sports, and all I've ever taken was aspirin. But pressure can take its toll.

So when I began my 30 mile trek to Palomar this morning, I was upset to hear people,' once again, attacking single mothers. We have become the political issue for Election '96- Welfare Reform. Suddenly, all smgle mothers are teenage high-school dropouts, who arc leeches on the society they con into supporting their drug habits while they make more and more and more babies. I realize that this is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is so easy to skim through headlines and fast forward through news bites and believe that all single mothers are just that, and unfortunately, many of our fellow Americans have bought into the stereotype. Well, today, I was indignant. I wanted to run around and get in somebody's face and say ''To heck with you. You do ,not know what you are talking about. How dare you turn what is most important to me into a 'here today gone tomorrow' slogan?" I was consumed with rage at all middle-aged suburban politicos who are totally out of touch with the real-life paycheck-to-paycheck existance that

so many of us lead. I walk around this campus and I see so many women who have risen to meet the challenges they face as single mothers. These women are alone, they work hard, study hard, and parent hard. Few people understand how truly difficult it is. Or how incredibly rewarding. This year will be hard, unless of course you shun all media. There will be many politicians who talk about single parenting as
if... Today, forget about the deadbeat dads, the stereotypes and the politics. This year shut out all of the negative feedback. If you feel hurt and angry, as I did this morning, speak out!

Special treatment hurts everyone Dr. Michael Newbrough It has become acceptable, finally, to talk publicly about the efficacy of "affirmative action" policies. But I noted with disappointment that last week's column by Suzette Clark carries on the tradition of distortion and demagoguery too often associated with protecting group preferences (a.k.a. The Campaign to Save Women's Rights [sic]). She admits that the initiative "inspires ... gibberish," and disarmingly allows that "affirmative action" is a "touchy subject" and "it is not (her) intention to argue for it." But. alas, argue for it she then proceeds to do, but only by arousing fears about what could happen to women if they lose their specialgroup preference status. We heard the same kind of alarmist rhetoric over the Prop. 174 debate on school vouchers (parental choice)-the same exaggerations by teachers' unions to incite fear of potentially incompetent teachers getting tax money to, why, maybe instruct little ones on witchcraft and bomb-making! Ms. Clark downplays the points awarded in college-admissions to gender/racial group membership [Note: NOT based on individual merit or character, only a preference bestowed group-wide through accident of birth]. After all. she argues. points are also awarded based on grades, letters of recommendation. economic hardship, sports, student government, etc., so why should people mind a little additional discriminatory preference') Personally, I'm sick of the concept of "underrepresented group." This has validity

Staff Editorial
Palomar needs a new campus in Poway • Several sites have been under consideration for a much-needed campus in Poway which would relieve congestion on the SM campus Palomar College has been looking to build an education center in the Poway/ Cannel Mountain/Rancho Bernardo area, similar to its Escondido Center, for years. The City of Poway has allocated approximately $6 million in redevelopment funds specifically for the college, to be used however the college chooses. What, then, is holding up plans to build a new education center? The only roadblock to begin the planning is that Palomar College, the City of Poway and Poway merchants are volleying around proposed sites for the new center. Business owners want the college to set up shop in the heart of Poway, somewhere along Poway Road; Poway officials seem to just want the center in Poway; while
Palomar officials don' l seem to care where the new center goes. The factor none of these groups is taking into account is the Palomar students residing in Poway. Some of these students face up to a 45minutecommutetoand from the San Marcos campus. Some of the pressure of the long drive is relieved by education centers at Mt. Cannel and Poway high schools, but the courses at the two centers are offered only Monday through Thursday· nights -convenient for students with day jobs, but that leaves little choices for full-time students who need to take daytime sessions. For Poway students faced with either a 45-minute drive to school or a 15-minule (maximum) drive to any of the up to seven different locations in the Poway area, it
doesn' l matter whether the drive is to downtown Poway Road. to Pomerado Road and Ted Williams Parkway, or to the other locales in nearby Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain Ranch or Rancho Pcnasquitos. Any relief from the commute is welcome. Poway commuters aren't alone in the need for relief. The San Marcos campus population is bursting at the seams, and is probably over-populated right now. A stronger Palomar College presence in the Poway area would greatly relieve some of the pressure on the main campus. The cooperation between the involved parties is appreciated, but it's time to quit dilly-dallying around, choose a location and get down to the business of better serving Palomar's students.
There's an old saying that imparts the wisdom: "There's nothing sure but death and taxes." I'd like to contribute my own addition. Along with going to the great beyond, and being mugged by the government, there is another thing in life that is bound to happen - the passage of time. This is my last column for The Telescope, and since my license for writing columns may be revoked at the next paper I work for (hopefully the San Diego State Daily Aztec), I decided that I must get some Republican bashing done before I graduate/transfer later this month. For anyone who doesn't know me, or hasn't ever read any of my columns, I am a proud registered Democrat. I think Pat Buchanan is the Antichrist, and I believe the GOP is populated by a bunch of old men who despise the thought of women having rights, and don't know the cost of milk and eggs. For your reading enjoyment (or torture), I have compiled nearly two examples of Republican bashing I have witnessed. Two weeks ago I went to Kensington to sec an Oscar-winning documentary called "Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision," about the woman who designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. When her design was chosen, Lin was only 21 years old. Since then, she has designed the Civil Rights Memorial in Binningham, Ala .. and a sculpture honoring women at Yale (her alma mater.) She is truly a remarkable woman. Just the type Republicans hate. After Lin's design for the Vietnam Veterans was chosen from more than 1.400cntrios, she faced opposition from many panics who thought her stark, black design was too negative. One of her opponents was Buchanan. When a still picture of the talk show host and presidential wannabe nashcd on the screen, I was surprised and delighted when boos and sounds of disgust emanated from the theater. Living in San Diego might be good for me- it has to be better th:::n living in North County and being represented in Congress by a Republican (male) I did not vote for. My other piece of Republican bashing comes from the hilarious animated series, "Duckman," which airs Friday and Saturday nights on the USA Network. In a recent episode. Duckman (the protagonist. surprisingly enough) is hit with rays from a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine. and the radiation uncovers the cure for cancer - inside his brain. Duckman is then fought over by a doctor who wants the cure in order to heal people, and an HMO executive who w'ants lo suppress the cure so as not to damage his profits. The executive plays a promotional tape showing people who would suffer if cancer were cured. They included doctors, nurses, people in New York who need apartments and the Republican party. Duckman asked what the Republican party was doing there. The executive answered, "Oh, they just go where the evil is."

Former Charger brings lessons to Palomar • Counselor encourages students to finish college Carla Mays Staff Writer
Many students on campus have no idea that Palomar has a former Charger working in the Counseling Department. From the greens of the Murph to the green shrubs of Palomar College, Jim Tolbert is changing history for students. The football player began working for Palomar as a counseling intern in the Athletic Department back 10 1994 while finishing his second IT!asters degree in educational counseling at National University. "I have always believed in school first and athletics second. Because only one percent make it to the pro's., that's why I went back to school to get my degree- to make sure to kids get thi s message," said Tolbert. "I watched lots of guys fall by the wayside in my playing days, either by not watching their money or not making it in the NFL. Many kids just don't know just because your drafted doesn't mean you're going to stay in or get the big bucks. It's hard work.'' As an athlete, Tolbert fell compelled to talk to young people about higher education and giving back to the people. "I love my new position as a counselor in EOP&S (Extended Opportunities Programs & Services). It 's so rewarding to see students come in as freshmen and transfer and graduate. Students go from the registration lines to the cap and gown so fast with the help of a good counselor, and I would like to be that counselor." Tolbert, who played in the NFL for 12 years from 1965 to 1977, started his professional football career at age 21. He was drafted in the
seventh round by the Chargers inl965 o ut of Missouri's Lincoln Umverslty. At the umvcrslly he maintained a ··B·· average before leaving to join the Chargers- before finishing his last 17 units to complete his bachelor's degree. The defensive back spent seven years with the Chargers. and a halfseason with the Houston Oilers and three years with the St. Louis Cardinals. While with the Cards they won back-to-back division champiOnships in 1975 and 1976. In his last season. he started with the Cards. then was traded back to the Bolts. Nicknamed "Rabbit" for his quickness, Tolbert was known for his dedication and hard play, but all along he had a burning desire to finish his degree. So in 1991 he went back and finished his degree in health and physical education at The Union Institute. He completed his degree in only nine months. "I wish I hadn't waited 25 years to get it,'' he said. '·I should have completed it during the off season ." The 17 units he needed in 1966 turned into 35 units in the '90s. Tolbert advises students to tinish and not to put off the degree because, "the more you put it off the more requirements get tacked on as time goes on," he said. Since completing his bachelor's, Tolbert has gone on to earn two master's degrees from National University. On April 20, he was recognized at National's 25th Anniversary at La Jolla's La Valencia Hotel as a distinguished alumnus. Long before the lights and cameras of the NFL, Love James (L.J.) Tolbert lived in a small black town in Fairfield, Ala., where Willie Mays grew up. Tolbert recalls Mays com-
ing home and visiting local schools. "Willie was a not a big sport cclcbnty that you only hear and read about. he was a local boy who made it in big. And he made himself visible. During the off-season, he would come back home play ball with us. Sec, Willie used to play football on our high school football team. " Tolbert took from Mays some valuable lessons abo ut remembering where you came from once you ' re 10 the limelight. "I believe 10 1nvcst10g 10 our (black) community. Too many times people make it big and forget where they came from," Tolbert said. When he came to San Diego, he saw a need for services in the Southcast section of San Diego. He built three mini-malls and built various apartment complexes. During the off-season. Tolbert took classes at Mesa College. "I took the classes to take part in the building and maintenance of the properties, because lots of business did not want to do business in Southeast,'' he said. " It took me five years just to get a loan. Most people thought I was crazy for building there." Today the mini-malls are the only ones in Southeast San Diego. "In 1970, everything seemed to mature in my life. I was first-string on the Chargers, I began to invest and realize that football was not going to last forever. Money seemed to slip my hands like water and I didn't want to end up broke. So I learned to handle my money and do other things," said Tolbert. During his football career, Tolbert earned his stockbroker's license, became a financial planner for his teammates, sold insurance, and was a tailor. One of his hobbies is

" I went to Fairfield Tech High where students prepared themselves for a vocation, trade and/or college. It was required that students learned a trade," said Tolbert. "I could not decide what I wanted to do, so my counselor chose tailoring for me. I liked it so much I took a second year. .I started doing some stuff for the team when Jim Hill, who was my roommate on the road, asked me to make him a pair."

Moores made, Marsoubian said, "It's amazing (when) you look at a guy who takes time out of his schedule, that's worth who knows how much, to come down here (to the studio)." Palomar coaches Sherry Titus, Mark Eldridge and Bob Vetter have been on previous shows, and Marsoubian has aired taped interviews with baseball stars Greg Maddux and Barry Bonds. Marsoubian is quick to point out the team effort involved in putting "Madness" together. "What I've basically done with my program here is I've surrounded myself with good people," he said. The "Madness" staff includes board operator Mindy Wilson, "updatcguy" Joe Wagner and producer Vaughan. Marsoubian. originally from Boston, moved down to San Diego from Los Angeles two years ago. He has been at Palomar since last June and is still enrolled in Radio and Television courses. "Monday Night Madness" is aired Monday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. on KKSM-AM I 320.

Tolbert and his wife Beverly say the Lord and family come first in their lives. They have four adult children. who range in age from 27 to 32. "I have ingrained them with the values that God, family, ed ucation and work will take you far, just as my parents told me," said Tolbert. "I try to counsel young people not only on education, but on values of good work ethics that help them in lives. Learning is life-long."

into something new and find out what's out there." Woods said the college will be interviewing for an aquatics position, which means Waterman may no longer be the women's team coach. She said she will still help the team in some capacity this fall. Right now, the women's water polo players meet twice a week as a campus club. With the new team status, Waterman said they'll stop "hanging out" and will get serious about competing. "I think it's going to be a whole lot more competitive," she said, "because now the girls know it'll count against their eligibility, so they'll be serious about it. Before, we had a PE class and we met two afternoons and we went to games." The women will travel to the same meets with the men's water polo team and will compete before or after the men . Like the men's water polo season, the women's season will begin in September. Waterman said she would like to see 18 women on this fall's team. "We're open to everybody right now," she said. A special summer league conditioning program will be offered in June. Anyone interested is "welcome to join us on Monday nights starting in the middle of June," Waterman said. The high school students will no longer be able to be on the team, but will instead return to compete against their former host.

Some random, fleeting thoughts for the dog days of summer. .. It seemed appropriate that I write one final sports column to close out the 1995-96 publication year for The Telescope. But, as usual, I couldn't dig up a topic about which I feel strongly - except, of course, major league baseball owners' antics. But we've already run enough on that, and I set a quota of one Marge Schott joke per semester. Unfortunately, we've already filled that. Instead of writing one cohesive, longwinded, stretched-to-the-max column, I put together some non-pressing thoughts which, did I not have plenty of space to fill, wouldn't be printed. I have been very upset since I heard the Dodgers' announcement on Tuesday regarding Brett Butler's illness. Columnist Mike Downey wrote a perfect story summing up my feelings in the May 8 Los Angeles Times. I only have one comment to add to Mr. Downey's thoughts, concerning those of us who share Butler's religious faith- we're praying for you, Brett. On a lighter note. I hope, thanks to everyone who helped me out this semester. We've had some interesting experiences- ahemhere in our little campus niche. I've still learned more than I dreamt possible. I greatly appreciate the cooperation I received from everyone in the Athletic Department. Also, former Sports Editor Chris Gleason provided valuable insight. I raise a bottle of Dr Pepper with a hearty "salute" to you all' I know that being the professional. objective journalist I am. I really shouldn't plug other media. But this is the last article I'll write for the 'scope until September, so a BIG thank you to Steve Mason and John Ireland, who host the weekday morning show on XTRA Sports 690. I didn't realize how much I depended on them to start my day on the right track until they pulled a little early April Fool's stunt, which had me convinced (for about an hour) that they had been replaced, or fired, or ... something. Being dcpri ved of their "BS" for only a few hours that Monday morning put me In a permanently sour mood for the rest of the day. I pray they never take that big, cushy buy out they're always talking about. Gra::.ie mille.
stgnore. I must admit I've been cheering for those darned Padres. How can I not with that incredible defense they've fielded this year? Nevertheless- GO DODGERS! Finally, even given all the stress that covering sports entails, I loved this job. I will be back with the paper next fall, and I will eat humble pie if or when the Padres beat out the Dodgers in the National League West. Until then, God bless. Ciao!

California recently sanctioned women's community college water polo as an official athletic varsity sport. Beginning this spring semester. Palomar College club now has the honor of being called the Palomar College Women·s Water Polo Athletic Team. Currently comprised of Palomar students and players from six local high schools, the students participate as a physical education class. Funding for the team won't kick in until the fall. "We ·re just having a P.E. class this spring. There is no sport right now." said Patti Waterman, Palomar's women's swimming coach and physical education instructor. ~ Like the men's team, the new team will compete against six local community colleges in the Orange Empire Conference. ''They're real excited that it's official,'' Waterman said of her water polo players. "They thought it was great because they will get equal opportunity as far as tournament fees being paid, officials being paid for home games and transportation. We all had to get our own cars and drive and carpool together." Waterman said it all came about when representatives from Palomar recently met with 13 other Southern California colleges interested in setting up women's community college water polo programs. ·'It hasn't bccndonc in California before," Waterman said. ''There are 14 colleges that are going to be doing this this school year, that have come up with money to hire a coach and set a program aside for women. We were in the first initiating group when we were a club sport last year. I think we were pretty aggressive in getting it going." "Patti's been the representative and a very strong advocate for water polo." said Athletic
Director John Woods. "She's been kind of leading the fight." Woods said California's Title IX motivated thecollege'sGenderEquality Committee to evaluate how Palomar was meeting the state's requirements. "Water polo IS the first sport that we're adding as a result of our evaluation and the needs of Title IX compliance." Woods said. "We sec it as the first sport and should the budget hold and we prosper, we·rc going to be looking to continually consider new sports for our women athletes at Palomar,·· he added. Woods said the college fully supports the new program. "We're committed to doing it because it's the right thing to do,'' Woods said. '·It's a move which will be a continued effort by Palomar to bring on more women's sports to increase our participation opportunities for our women. Trying to initiate competition between enough local community colleges has been a difficult fight. according to Woods. "It's not about the state of California accepting it," Woods said. "It's getting other community colleges to commit so you can have a viable number of teams to make it work. That's where (Waterman's) forwardthinking concept has helped in getting other community colleges to bring in women's water rolo." Waterman said that last year Palomar hosted a three-weekend tournament for nine of the interested community colleges. "All the colleges have been pretty receptive to starting new women's programs. so we're going to set up our schedules this next week at the state swim meet," Waterman said. ''It'll expand more, because this is our first year to attempt this. It's always exciting to get

The two-hour show incorporates the local North County athletic scene with coverage of the professional sports world, said "Madness" producer Jason Vaughan.

San Diego Padres' owner John Moores, Comets' baseball and basketball player Ryan Cunningham, Baseball America . obituary columnist Bill Carle, The Main Stream newspaper sports editor Joe Naiman, and XTRA Sports 690 field reporter Ernie Martinez were among the guests on the program. "It's a little bit surprising at how good the guests are,., said Cunningham. "I feel privileged to have been on the air with them. I thought it was just going to be a little fly-by-night thing, but this is pretty professional." Referring to the in-studio appearance
