¥ Statistics for the two years Mira Costa College has had police on campus. ¥ During that time, Palomar s crime has gone up.

Having uniformed patrol officers on campus shou ld give students a sense of security, but not at Palomar.

Accordi ng to Boyd Mahan , supervisor of campus patrol, thei r dutiesare limited to enforcing th e parking regulations at Palomar.

"Students think we can remove someone from campus, or protect them from someone, but we don't have the authority to do that. All we do is write tickets for parking viola-

Rodent problem questioned Mimi Bowles Srafl Wrirer

Students, faculty and staff are no t alone at Palomar these days. Rats. mice. squirrels, opossums, skunks and raccoons have once again made their presence known at Palomar, primarily due to the campus location.

"We're surrounded by native coastal sage which is a prime habitat [for rodents],'' said Mike Ellis, director of facilities. "I don't think [the problem] is widespread; whenever we hear about them, [rodents] we take corrective action.''

Several years ago facilities workers were confronted with a major rodent problem on campus, and officials now say the problem is under control.

But some Palomar faculty and stall don't see it thas wa). Ceiling panels \\ere remmcd during the summer in the nursing building to put In new Wiring.

When the panels were removed, rat feces fell on the workers.

Accorliing to Carolyn Richtmcyer. stall assistant

for the nursing program, faculty from the building called Kelley Hudson-Maclsaac, the coll ege environmental health and safety spec ialist, and asked for clean-up above the ceiling panel s. Yet interviews with campus officials reveal that no one is sure whether it has been done or not. Hudson- Macisaac said she didn't know if any corrective action had been taken in the nursing bui lding, adding she wou ld have to look it up in her records. As of press time, Hudson-Maclsacc had not located the informati on.

The rodent problem on campus is not confined to the nursing building, however.

"The [problem] that I'm aware of right now is the one near the U building," said Hudson-Maclsaac.

The U building is plagued with ground sq uirrels that burrow underneath the building. The squirrels arc removed by catching them with traps. and then they arc relocated.

Computers protected against additional theft Jeremy Lynch Opinion Editor

Following the recent computer thefts on campus, the Palomar computer labs have taken necessary precautions to prevent similar incidents from taking place in the future.

According to library manager Catherine Gannet, installing more security happened as quickly as possible.

"We have been working on the problem as time permits," said Gannet. "Each [individual computer] should have its own security by the end of the week."

Gannet went on to say that security surveillance cameras will be installed in the library in the near future.

No exact time table could be given about the cameras because the library has to decide if it wants to hire an outside contractor or have a Palomar employee do the job.

Surveillance security cameras won't be

the first of their kind here at Palomar. Before the Library was renovated during the 19931994 school year it was equipped with a similar security system.

The cameras were rem o v e d when the new heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems were installed.

0 the r labs on campus have taken either similar precautions with their computers or have been operating on a higher level of alert.

Fari Towfiq, mathematics lab supervisor, feels very confident about the security in her lab, and plans on keeping the same security measures in place.

"Our security is fine.

We have never had a problem in the past," t o u t e d Towfiq. "Our computer systems are a - Fari Towfiq little different Math lab supervisor than the rest on campus. It would be quite obvious if someone tried to get at a ·central Processing Unit (CPU) in here."

According to Towfiq, the mathematics lab

"Our computer systems are a little different than the rest on campus. It would be quite obvious if someone tried to get at a Central Processing Unit in here."

computers are set up so that to get into a computer the would-be thief would have to lay on the ground and go through the bottom of the computer.

Witnesses reported two "scruffy-looking men" took computer chips from computers in the Palomar library. Thieves that apparently hit both California State University, San Marcos and Palomar College as well as various sites within the San Diego Community College District have not been apprehended.

"I don't think the same two will come back and try here," said Gannet. ''But that doesn't mean they don't have three friends down the street."

Towfiq agreed with Gannet adding, "We could never miss [the two suspects] or anyone else trying to take anything from the computers. Only one technician works on the computers in the math lab and all the employees know who that is."

Board candidate tries campaigning in classroom Chris Corbin Surff Writer

Governing Board candidate David Rockwell is causing a disturbance among the faculty by asking instructors for permission to campaign in their classes.

Rockwell believes that candidates should address classes.

"There is no reason in the world why students shouldn't listen to what candidates have to say during classtime," Rockwell said.

"The governing board makes decisions about students. They are the ones that are

affected by their decisions."

At least one instructor aired his or her concerns with Dr. George Boggs, president/superintendent of Palomar College.

According to Boggs, it is unknown how many classes, if any, Rockwell has alDavid Rockwell ready campaigned in.

A memo was sent out

by Boggs to the faculty recommending that if a candidate requests to

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Finally, a Real Camera Store in North County.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

NORTH OOUNTY OAMERA s("srA

speak to a class, all of the candidates should be given the same chance.

"There has to be an equal opportunity for all candidates, and if a candidate is going to speak to a class, it should be relevant to that class," Boggs said.

Currently ther-e are no rules restricting Governing Board candidates from campaigning in classrooms.

Rockwell has experience addressing the governing board as an advocate of student issues, and in the past two years, he has initiated a proposal to change the hiring policy for instructors, and fought for student pri-

vacy. He also effectively lobbied to remove Social Security numbers from Palomar Identification Cards for security reasons.

The other Governing Board candidates include John Bragg, Steven Knoblock, Tom Morris and incumbents Barbara Hughes, Ralph Jensen and Rita White.

Three of the five seats of the Governing Board are up for election.

Boggs urges students and faculty to learn more about the candidates at the Governing Board Candidates' Forum Oct. 15. The forum will start at 4 p.m. in the Governing Board room.

POLICE: With crime on the rise, campus patrol wants to do more Continued from Page 1

proposal to present it to the campus community," Mike Ellis, director of facilities, said. ports of eight incidents of grand theft, three He hopes staff, faculty and students will recauto burglaries, four auto vandalism reports, ognize that the need for campus police warone student wanting a restraining order en- rants the search for funding.

Chuck Scrofani, student representative to forced and petty theft in the men's locker room with someone cutting off the locks from the safety and security committee, said "The committee is supportive of having training lockers.

Mayhan's proposed so luti on to what he and implementation of campus police officperceives as the real problem is to get ap- ers. but only if we can get the financing."

According to Ellis, the problem is that proval for a campus pol ice program , something he has tried in the past, but has been told Mike Grcgoryk, assistant superintendent/vice president of finance and administrative serthere is no funding for.

"One of the biggest factors in delaying vices, had the authority to find the funds, but approval and implementation of the program· he resigned and has not been permanently is money. Right now we arc working on the replaced. Ellis and Mahan do not expect any

decision until a replacement for Gregoryk is hired.

Programs like this work for other colleges including, Mira Costa Community College, which has had a police patrol program on campus for two years, and has seen a drop in crime reported .

Until police officers are a reality on campus, Mahan wants students to be responsible for their own safety, always being aware of their surroundings . He also recommends students stick together and never go to a dark parking lot alone. Any student needing an escort to his or her car need on ly to call campus patrol. Mahan said it isn ' t part of the job description, but they are glad to do it.

Campus patrol field supervisor Gerard Perez does the only thing his job discription allows- write parking tickets.

RODENTS: More rodents on campus can lead to health problems Continued from Page 1 the information that I' vc read, I think there is more that can be done. I know that there arc squirrels living under the U building-l've seen them. " Fawcett-Murders became seriously ill after inhaling the fumes from rat feces that fell when one of the ceiling panels in her office was removed. Her symptoms were so severe she was moved out of the U building into a trailer.

"We do not kill or poison the ground squirrels," said Facilites Director Ellis, who added that in I 989 there was a severe problem with squirrels on campus when there were literally thousands. · The squirrels caused $50,000 worth of damage to the tennis courts when they made holes that caused erosion and the eventual collapse of the courts. At that time, trapping was also used but wasn't working because people were setting the squirrels free.

The Disabled Students Programs and Services building also had a rodent problem several years ago. "Our food items had holes nibbled into them , and the food was in drawers, not sitting out. It was apparent that something other than staff was responsible," said Mary Tuttle, DSPS technician.

There is also a concern that the rodent problem could spread the Hantavirus, an often fatal virus spread by rodents. According to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, the Hantavirus starts with flu-like symptoms and then progresses to severe respiratory problems sometimes accompanied by a skin rash.

According to the CDC, the virus, which is transmitted through contact with rodent saliva, urine and feces, is mostly carried by deer mice; however, other rodents can carry it.

While there is no indication that Hantavirus is a problem at Palomar, according to Richtmeyer, staff members in the nursing building have been suffering from upper respiratory problems that could be linked to the rodents. "I've gone in for allergies [to be]

tested and it's for environmentals [environ mental factors causing health problems]," she said, adding, "You put up with minor complaints, but down the line you might have a bigger problem."

According to Ellis, occurrences of mice and rats in buildings on campus result in immediate trapping to eliminate the problem and clean up the mess.

"Our people go in on weekends [or from] I 0 p.m. to 7 a.m. We don't want our people in our masks when we have staff and students present," Ellis said.

College officials stress they don't believe there is much of a threat of the Hantavirus on campus, since "not all types of rodents carry the Hantavirus," according to Ellis. HudsonMaclsaac also keeps in touch with the county to find out when there are incidents of Hantavirus in the county.

The CDC suggests numerous ways to prevent rodent infestation, one of which is to keep pet food in air-tight containers. However, an unknown person is leaving two pet

food dishes with cat food in them out in front of the RF building.

"If we find out who's doing it, [providing food] we try to educate them not to do it," said Ellis, who feels that people are feeding animals out of humanity, believing that the animals are starving.

This creates a problem for the blind students on campus because guide dogs have been seen eating out of the cat food bowls. "I think it's important for people to be aware of the guide dogs on campus. Leaving food around, even with good intentions, can cause harm and disease to our dogs and ourselves," said blind student Linda Spoerner.

Ellis feels the rodent problem is under control and within acceptable standards. However Chuck Scrofani, ASG representative for safety and security, said he wasn't aware there was a problem, and said he would bring it up at the safety committee meeting.

"This problem is not solved, and it's not acceptable to me to have rat feces m my office," said Fawcett-Murders.

OPINION Should collegiate athletes earn money~ • Players should see some compensation

• Scholarship is payment enough for athlete

It's almost idiotic that there is even a question of whether or not college athletes shou ld receive some sort of compensation for time and effort they give to the school.

If you are reading this and are enrolled here at Palomar, whether it be part-time or full-time, chances are you have some kind of job outside of school that allows you to have some sort of income to live off of.

College athletes go to school full-time and work full-time as well, but for their services, they receive no compensation. Forget that they generate large amounts of money for the school. If a student can get paid as a school employee for working in the cafeteria or in the bookstore, they should also be paid for their work on the football field or the basketball court.

Yes, they are on scholarship. But, as San Diego State punter Noel Prefontaine said in an interview with the North County Times, "Being on scholarship is like being on welfare."

Sure, while most students are sweating out whether or not that financial a id check will be coming in on time, or if mom and dad can afford to send them to school for another semester, scholarship athletes can relax knowing their tuition will be taken care of on time.

But that does not make up for the fact that, once tuition is paid and the books are paid for, they have absolutely no money to live off.

This is unbelievable. Do you see all those butts in the seats at college football games, or all those fans packing into arenas to watch their favorite college basketball team?

These fans aren't watching these games for free. Can you imagine the ticket revenue at a 50,000-seat foo tball stadi um ? These colleges are making o ut like bandits while the athletes people pay to see are getting screwed.

I'm not say ing college athletes should be paid anywhere near the same amount of money as professional ath letes, but a little something is better than nothing. Former University of Massachusetts basketball star Marcus Camby put it best when he said college athletes should be given at least, "something to go get a sandwich, or go see a movie ."

Since most of these athletes are living away from home, they do not have the luxury qf asking their parents for a few extra dollars with the promise of being able to pay them back on payday. There is no payday for college athletes.

It's perfectly understandable when you see from an athlete's perspective why they accept money and gifts frqm agents. The simple fact is they have to survive and be ab le to function outside of campus.

What is an athlete supposed to do if he or she needs to go somewhere five miles off campus - walk? I guess that's what the colleges and the NCAA expect them to do.

How would the average student like to be confined to the campus because they perform a certain valuable service for the school? Are they property of the college?

It's no wonder they' II accept gifts such as a car from a fast talking sports agent.

Just because an athlete may be given a full ride by a college, doesn't mean they should be free-labor, a.k.a. slaves, to any school.

For most of us, work and school is the way of life. Wake up, go to class, maybe go home and catch some shut-eye for a few minutes before barrelling out the door to our jobs.

For col lege athletes, however, it's a slightl y different story. Well, maybe . Just substitute "work" or "job" in the above paragraph with "practice" or "tonight's game."

For some reason. athletes are singled out as special on any given college campus in the United States. Perhaps that is why there is a growing amount of support for the idea of granting college athletes a monthly "stipend."

You know, just a little something to reward them for sacrificing some time - a little "thank you" for working to bring attention and acclaim to their schools.

Whatever.

It would figure that athletes, above any other organized group of stude nts, would be the first to receive consideratio n for financial compensation for time spent at school.

Most athletes receiveeither full or partial academic scholarships as a means of paying for their ed ucation. This means that, in exchange for playing a certain sport, the school is compensating the athlete's time spent in practice and competition . That compensation is payment for fees for which most students are responsible: tuition, books, etc.

Why should athletes have money handed to them on top of their scholarships? Oh, well, that's easy- because they arc bringing in so much revenue for their schools through ticket sales and television contracts compared to (fo r instance) the school orchestra.

The athletes have been forbidden from working during the school year because o f the time they need to put towards practice, and that activi ty most of us know as studying.

Most athletic careers last less than I 0 years, anyway. What then ? Back to school where they should have been studying the whole time, like the rest of us .

That only works for the big-name, majorconference schools, though. In smaller schools, the athletic department can be considered a financial liability , meaning there are minimal funds available for the support of athletic programs. Ivy League and Division III schools don't even give out athletic scholarsh ips. They don't seem to be doing too badly . Wasn ' t it Princeton that just knocked basketball powerhouse UCLA out of the NCAA basketball tournament last year? Not bad for a school with all walk-ons.

There is an exchange going on between athletes and their schools- an athlete competes for the school ; where the school pays for the athlete's education. The athlete is free to do with that educat ion and the experience gained from competition what he or she wishes. The athlete can either usc the education provided by the school to enter a nonsports job market or pursue a higher level of athletic competition in the professional sports world.

Most students don't have those kinds of options. Isn't that why so many athletes leave school early- to pursue professional career· and make moncy'7 Then, and only thcn.athlctcs should be compensated financially- as professionals.

Slain Fallbrook girl wasn't just another inncocent victim Nothing like enjoying a relaxin g weekend in San Francisco with relatives, only to arrive back in San Diego and find tragedy has struck.

Many of you have probably heard about the recent story of a Fallbrook girl ' being slain in her home. This might have struck a nerve in some, brought momentary sadness to others. and still others might not have thought twice about it. Either way, most of you probably paused to think about the severity of the issue and then went about your daily routines.

For some, however, it wasn't that easy.

Sec, Gina Lynn Severino was my friend.

Amongst today 's high paced society most of us lose track of, don't have time for, or just choose not to think about deep issues such as life and death. That is until someone close to us is gone.

Severino. 20, was a 1994 graduate of Poway High School and had plans to re-enroll at Palomar next semester. She just received a promotion to general merchandise clerk at the La Costa Yons where she worked. Things seemed to be looking up when nightmare became reality.

Although a situation such as thi s tends to make us feel angry and only remember the last few horrifying days, I want to think back to some of the good things about Gina.

Like how she loved to go up to the snow and practice snow boarding with her boyfriend Mike. Or how cute she was when she had a bowl of popcorn and a Disney movie on cassette. Even the little things like when she would go out to cat with her boyfriend and eat his hated tomatoes off his plate.

The thing I might remember most of all is how she loved her puppy. "Indy," her Siberian Husky, was the love of her life. No matter what kind of day she was having, Indy seemed to bring a smile to her face.

Now, Indy won't be able to see that rosycheeked smiling face greet him at the door.

Even though I have my likes and dislikes, having the pleasure ofknowi ng her before her unfortunate passing has changed me. I'm a Southern California weather kind of guy. but I will appreciate the snow a liule bit more now. Although I prefer rated 'R' movies, I look at Disney movies in a whole new light now . Even though I have always been a tomato fan , I will ask for extra next time I go out to eat.

The Severino family would like to warn everyone to take any precautions necessary to safeguard your homes from intruders. Get to know your neighbors extremely well before allowing them into your homes and lives.

And although trusting people is an admirable trait, it can be a fatal flaw.

Gina had a wonderful disposition and was kind to almost everyone. However, a kind disposition became her downfall. Gina, the world was a better place with you in it. You will be missed.

Student rep. fee a waste of our money Each semester $15,000 is collected from the student body for the student representation fcc. In the past five years, an average of $67,900 has rolled over, creating the largest pool of student money that IS not available for general student use.

Established in 1989, the student rep. fee exists to "support students or representatives who may be stating their positions" before legislators and is controlled by the Associated Student Government.

Robert T. Nanninga Sraff Writer

Recently I had the pleasure of attending a Green Party gathering at Balboa Park. It was sort of a potluck information thing, complete with dre.adlocked drummers and organic grapes. Although it was smaller than the organizers had hoped for, the 40 people who attended were part of a conversation about politics and responsibility. Political responsibility. Wow 1 What a concept. or the comments that were made, two stand out in my mind. One of the drummers said that he never voted because prayer was more effective in bringing about change. I had to restrain myself from jumping to my

feet screaming, "Wake up you fool; the planet is being destroyed by corporate greed, and unless your prayers are being heard by those setting policy, you are deluding yourself."

Luckily, I retained my cool. The Green movement is, after all, a philosophy that includes cultural diversity, faith included.

I admit there is power in prayer, but sadly that power is not being translated into action.

When the Spanish were conquering the New World, they backed up their prayers with the sword. History has proven this to be an effective strategy, time and time again. Please do not misconstrue my intention; I'm not saying we need to take up arms to protect the planet -yet. What I am saying, however, is that we

must pick up the pen and the ballot, and do battle with the multinational corporations currently buying Washington lock, stock and barrel. Like it or not folks, we are fighting a war of ideologies, profit versus preservation, and currently the profiteers arc kicking butt.

The other comment was made by a woman who wanted us all to know she was a property owner. She said that since human beings have always been controlled by dictators, we should stop fighting and instead try to elect a benevolent dictator. This time all I wanted to do was scream until my head exploded. Could someone please explain to me how one elects a dictator'1 I am sorry, the last thing the world needs is another dictator.

• Palomar photography student directs rock video with North County band Members of Ces Jacuzzi and the Slumlords from left to right are- bassist Chris Michaels, drummer Tim Jeffries and guitarist and vocalist Mike Miller.

This photo was altered via old fashioned cut and paste by Spelts, in order to capture the true intensity of Ces Jacuzzi.

Photo taken by Cheryl Spells

--------------------------------------------------------Carla Van Wagoner Sw.ff Writer

After 14 years of being a waitress, Palomar photography student Cheryl Spelts, who is camera shy herself has finally found her dream job- as a rock 'n' roll video director.

"The video thing just happened. I didn't pursue it. I remember the first time seeing MTV and thinking, l wanted to do thatsomeday," said Spelts.

Ironically, it was her former employment that helped her take a step towards her new career.

While working one night, she struck up a conversation with two customers at one of her tables. The gentlemen were members of a North County band, Ces Jacuzzi and the Slumlords (Ces is pronounced cess - as in cesspool).

"That was when I was building my portfolio. r had just done my business cards stating that I specialize in photographing actors, models and musicians. I wanted to photograph musicians because I think it's glamorous," said Spelts.

"But I didn't have any musicians in my portfolios except for one band," she said.

Guitarist and vocalist Mike Miller and bassist Chris Michaels sat in the restaurant booth looking at their first major release, ''Raizin' the Rent," when Spells came by to take their order.

"Chris stuck the CD right at the edge of the table, right ncar the edge where I would come up and sec it immediately; it was right there, I couldn't miss it," said Spclts.

Seeing an opportunity to further her photography career, Spells conveyed to the musicians that she was trying to increase her portfolio. As the conversation progressed she was able to arrange a photography session.

"We didn't realize that there was an area that could be tweaked as far as the way you look . Angles and lighting on the face can make people look a certain way and capture that certain look. We just didn't realize that until she shot [us]," said Miller. ··we look good in these pictures. We just realized she knew the sweet spots, the where and how to take photographs and get the right

light. There was a little more quality to it as well. The quality of it looks like a professional photo, and the mood was a little more of a dark hue," said Miller.

"Her photography style goes more with our music," he added.

The members of Ces Jacuzzi were so impressed with her photography skills they soon hired Spelts to do something she has never done -take her visual talents a step further by hiring her to direct their first music video, "Wall of Flesh."

Knowing absolutely nothing about video tape limitations or video directing, she and the band began tilming in early July. They all worked together for several weeks discussing what the video should be like and then went to work.

Spelts' VISIOn for "Wall of Flesh" was literally, atone point, to have a wall of flesh_ That required bodies, lots of them. "I literally had to go through a wall of flesh of extras," said Spells.

The performance portion of the video with the" wall of flesh" was filmed at a club called Dream Street in Ocean Beach, one of several locations used during the two days of nonstop filming. Other locations included Spells' bedroom and a meadow in Fallbrook.

There were other areas in the video making process that Spelts had to learn to deal with quickly and unexpectedly. For example. where to find a large brass bed and place it in a meadow for a certain scene, where to find various props, how to gel several cameramen to work pro bono and where to purchase a thousand cans of beer to get through the shooting schedule. The beer wasn't for Spclts, but for bribing extras to be used in the cwwd scenes.

"Vanessa Buendel (actress/model for the video) and her boyfriend, Jason Parker, helped recruit extras by asking people on the beach who were over 21 years old, if they wanted to be in a rock video and would they work for just beer," said Spelts.

Despite a rowdy crowd, filming went as planned. "The crowd really got into the band," said Spelts.

"She does good work. The video is going to be awesome," said drummer Tim Jeffries, son of jazz drummer Norman Jeffries.

Spells' work didn't stop with the tilming.

She took the work home to edit and piece it together on her home computer.

"It has taken two weeks just to get half oft he video done," she added.

Collaboration is the key word around Ces Jacuzzi. Each member of the band contributes to the musical process.

After the bandmates give their individual extensive input, Miller writes the band's final material.

Having several ereali vc and talented personalities giving their opinions has been the kiss of death for many bands. However, Miller tells honestly why big Hollywood egos arc not a problem with the trio."Wc get along. That's the reason why I think we'll stick around. A lot ofbandsdon't stick around because they don't get along," he said.

"We're a fun band," said Jeffries,"and we' rc even fun bet ween songs," added Miller.

Ccs Jacuzzi wants to be more than a musical note in history books or a mere fad.

"Music is more than Just a tattoo and a nose ring. I think it should be about music. We don't want to put on this anal facade that a lot of other bands do JUS! because they want to be cool. We don't want to sell out," Miller said.

Miller added, "Music shouldn't be pretentious, it should be what you write, what you feel. That is what it's all about."

Spells has taken the band to another level as well as taken herself to another level as an artist.

"When we get visionary people who actually see our band and like us and say, 'hey, we actually believe in this product, it's a good band,' that's what she docs. She gets people to take a second look. Immediately you get more recognition and more credence for what you're doing because she's getting people tapped in, and it gets you beyond the first level,'' stated Miller.

For Spelts, the project is more than a job to promote a local musical act, or a service provided to three men she now calls friends.

She has been given a chance to work with people she considers extremely talented individuals. Other than continuing to work with Ces Jacuzzi, she's made no plans for the future concerning her artistic talents.

"I don'tcarc if I'm a big tish in a little pond or a little fish in a big pond; artist fulfillment is all I want," said Spelts.

"Wall of Flesh" actress Vanessa Buendel and musician Jason Parker are two of the young models from Spelts' portofolio.

• Athletes balance acadellncs. athletzcs Chris Tribbey .)jwrn Edt/Ill"

When most people think of a student athlete, the first image that usually crosses their minds is that of a big, dumb ''jock'' who needs he lp spelling his ow n name.

They think of the student who gets pushed through the system so they can score more touchdowns and bring more money in for the college.

Here at Palomar, nothing could be farther from the truth.

"Athletes here are far from stupid, far from spoiled," said Athletic Director John Woods . "Sixty percent work. some are ra ising families , all carry a minimum of 12 units, practice two o r three hours per day and us uall y compete twi ce a week."

For two years the Palomar ath-

lctic program has been tuton ng its student athletes in need and requiring student athletes to attend a CNED 637 (Community Education) course for the first four weeks of the season.

If a student is earning a 3.0 GPA or higher at the end of the four weeks. they arc no longer required to attend.

If student athletes tlnd themselves in trouble, they arc referred to tutoring. If the student continues to perform poorly in his or her studies and drops below a 2.0 GPA or 12 units, he is automatically ineligible for athletics.

"We don ' t want the stigma that athletes are pushed through the system." said Woods. "!fa student fails. we want them to know that they did it on their own and we tried to help."

There 's no money in college sports, a nd athletes arc required to put academics before athletics.

Palomar won the national football championship in 1991. They were also one of five state models

for academic advisement programs.

'That says it all right there," said Woods.

Defense -shows up big as Palomar bounces back, 37-8 • Palomar holds Pasadena to 134 yards. seven of 15 pass attempts completed Chris Uhles Staff Writer

Win bi g, lose big, win big, the cycle has started with Palomar's fo otball team, as the Comets beat up the Pasadena City Lancers 37-8, on Sept. 27 .

Though many described the game as "sloppy," Palomar's defense showed up, and showed up big, as the Lancers were held to o nly 59 yards ru shing a nd 76 yards passing, completing only seven of 15 passes.

"It wasn't 'sloppy,' Ithinkofitas 'long,"' head coach Mark E ldridge said. "We beat a strong Pasadena team. " Linebacker David Salazar walked away with a 41-yard interception ramble to the Lancers 10 yard line, as well as a fumble recovery.

Also adding to the demise of Pasadena 's offense was teammate Reggie Mitchell who bumped the score up by six points with his second interception.

Palomar capitalized off the Lancers' mistakes as the Comets scored

on four o f five turnovers .

E ldridge is looking to his defense to take control of the game. "We expect our defense to do great things," Eldridge said. ''(The defense scoring four of five touchdowns for the Comets) d idn. t bother me that much."

Pasadena's offense continued to shoot thcmsel ves in the foot by committing eight fumbles and two bad punt snaps. One of those ended up in the end zone for a Palomar safety.

Yellow flags were once again a problem for Eldridge's squad , as they committed 19 for 163 yards, a tad bit better than last week's 21 penalties.

Quarterback Jason Wanstrect began the game looking very good, completing nine o f his first I 0 passes .

He quickly cooled off however, by finishing with only 14 of 29 passes and scoring only one oflensive touchdown. "(Wanstrcet) is a young player.

That's goi ng to happen," Eldridge said.

Charles DeJ urnett caught four of those 14 for 4 7 yards, once again leading the rest of the receiving Comet pack. Freshman Emery Enriquez led the rushing attack with I 0 carries for 49 yards.

Palomar travels to Los Angeles today to disrupt their current pattern against No. 3 ranked Cerritos.

In a quick match that lasted only an hour, the Palomar women ' s volleyball team overpowered the Los Angeles City College Cubs in three straight sets, 15-0, 15-2, 15-11.

Jaime Shook started off the game with the first serve. When the ball changed hands and came back, Lisa Chcrnicky served up an ace for the first game point.

After another possession change, Palomar substi tuted in Robin Allyn. who quickly made a point kill. Even with a substitution , LA couldn · t stop an amaZing 11-point Palomar barrage. The first game ended when the Cubs hit the ball o ut of play.

To begin the second game, LA City setter Akemi Okano made the firs t serve, but in a scene that was to repeat itself througho ut the ni ght , the Cubs dropped the ball.

Palomar's women· s water polo team went into the Long Beach City College tournament last weekend and played strong in all four games, ending the tournament with a 2-2 record.

"Starting with this weekend, I think the team is.a lot more positive: they have really come togetheras a team." said head coach Sandy Schneider. ''They are learning-a lot, and they are really enjoying themselves in the games."

The first game of the tournament saw Palomar blow the El Camino Pirates out of the water with a 12-2 victory.

Palomar took control right fTom the start and never let up a bit with key passing.

The Pirates were overmatched by the faster swimmers of Palomar and couldn 'tslow the pace of the game down to take back control.
