Palomar puts AIDS quilt on display • Panels from the quilt.made in memory of those who have died of AIDS were featured at Palomar Cathy Kuykendall Sralf \Vri1er

It was all there. the teddy bear, a Ptnk Floyd T-shtrt, a ptcture of Calvin and Hobbes; the things he loved most of all , affectionately sewn on a quilt panel. But Jesse was nowhere to be seen - he died of AIDS. Testimonials like this covered three 12-foot square pieces of the AIDS Memorial Quilt that were on display in the Palomar College Putnam Library/Media Center, Dec. 2 and 3. Each piece of the quilt is made up of eight panels. each a memorial to a life taken by the AIDS virus. Palomar was one of only three locations in the county scheduled to have portions of the quilt OQ display. ··so many people go into the library. and it"s getting the message out. That's important. Seeing the qUilt hns home because you know

every panel is a real person, and it makes you more aware," said Pam Webb. a nurse and health educator at the Student Health Center. Some students who vtewed the display seemed to be in awe of the message, while others were oblivious to the quilt's presence. "I wish there was a way to display all of them all the time, because it's a way for people to remember," said Julie Luikart, a marine biology major. Others were thankful that it was not them up there, recalling the chances that they have taken in their lives . "I have to stop and think that I could be up there. I made a lot of bad choices in my life , and I am grateful I woke up to that," said Melinda Nieto. an English major.

After more than 44 years , Palomar will finally own its own "P." Since its creation by the sophomore class of 1952, the big white .. P" and the top 30 acres surrounding it on Owens Peak directly behind Palomar finally have been donated to the college. Palomar will accept the 30 acres sometime next year, pending thecompilation of permits and paperwork. "It has been offered , and it is our intent to accept,'" said Chief Advancement OITicerNice President of the Foundation, Dale Wallen ius. "but we have to wait until we've dotted our 'i · s · and crossed our ·t' s · ."' Owens Peak was purchased from previous owners for $300.000 in April 1979 by Gerrie and Lester Ryan of Hidden Meadows, who planned on using the land for their retirement dream home. After failing with the home and

several other development ideas, among them a tlower farm and a child-care center, the Ryans finally devised a plan for the development of 25 homes along the base of the 1.200 foot hill. The homes will run along Bel Esprit Circle,just north of Glendale Avenue. The San Marcos City Council unanimously approved the project Nov. 12. The project has not been without criticism, however, from nearby residents of Bel Esprit and California Summerhill developments. In local media accounts. neighbors have accused the Ryans of threatening to do away with the "P .. in a full development venture unless the smaller project was approved. The Ryans denied the allegations, saying that development of the entire hill would be impossible, both financially and geologically. The neighbors have complain that the new homes would be clustered and would create excess noise and traffic. They also contended

that the development would damage the natural environment. The higherelevation ofthe new homes would allow people to look down into the back yards and windows of residents below. the neighbors argued. By donating the 30 acres to Palomar, the Ryans will receive $250,000 in tax credit. According to them, however. the credit will only allow them to break even after the cost of purchasing Owens Peak and $125.000 in taxes for the 17 years they owned it. The 180-foot tall, 80-foot ~\ide "P" is made of crushed lime and has been regularl; cleared of brush and whitened by Palomar students. The "P .. was created six years after the college was founded. two years after Palomar moved to its current location from Vista. Owens Peak is frequently used for biology and geology class trips and is home to popu Jar hiking trai Is . As of yet. Palomar has no finalized plans for the land.

Former New York pol ice officer and current Palomar Professor Kevin Barrell. co-recipient of the 1996 Distinguished Faculty of the Year Award. has been able to bring the world of crime fighting to the big screen and to his Administration of Justice students by influencing the producers of a network teleVISIOn program. In November. Barrett took friend Jnd Larchmont. New York Police Chief Bill Keresey to the set of ·'NYPD Blue" for a day-long tour. In 1993. Barrett was able to meet the cast of"NYPD Blue'' while touring the Fox Studios with Bill Clark, a retired New York Detective and currently the supervising producer of the show. After talking with cast members for eight hours, Barrell was asked to relate e .x perienccs he encountered as a psychological counselor for the New York police force. "NYPD Blue." a television show filmed in the Los Angeles 20th Century Fox Studios, is based on the real Iifc experiences of Clark. According to Barrett, the production's primary goal is to show police as real people. "NYPD'' Blue shows police officers as people for a change. that is why it is such a hot show.'' said Barrett. "There hm c been a lot of previous shows that solved a crime in an hour, but they arc vcty unrealistic." Barrell· s accomplishments and

talents have also been recognized on campus. In 1996, he shared the Distinguished Faculty Award with Melba Kooyman, the director of nursing instructors. Both were nominated by their students and chosen by a committee panel after extensive evaluations. "One of the reasons I feel I was nominated is because J like giving to the students and it is time to pay back what college has given me." Having started college at the age of 36, Barrett admitted he had no intention of ever attending college. He took a police supervision course at a local community college. but was pushed by his mentor to excel further in his studies. Seven years later Barrett earned his masters degree. ''I owe it to my students to give them 150 percent. If I didn't have the community college experience, l would never have went to college or achieve what I have today." In addition to teaching, Barrett also advises the Criminal Justice Club on campus. The club offers education on all areas within the criminal justice system by hosting numerous speakers and scheduling field trips to various police departments and law offices. "We invite those people whoreally knows what is going on in the system. There arc so many different areas of interest within the club that it is open to all students. " This week the club will travel to the Bay area to visit Alcatrat:, the San Francisco Police Department and juvenile hall.

Palomar's president spends a day on wheels Mimi Bowles Sw[(Writer

When Dr. George Boggs, president/superintendent of Palomar College, came to work last Wednesday , it was not a typical day. Usual meetings and walks across campus became challenges when Boggs joined the ranks of other Palomar educators who spent the day in a wheelchair as a way to better understand the needs of Palomar's disabled students. "It's an awareness exercise to see what some of our students have to live with," said Boggs, whose wheeled tour included three problem areas for disabled students. Boggs' first stop was the Health Services building, where he encountered the difficulty of opening the door - one of the hardest doors to open on campus. ··1 was kind of surprised at the diflicultyof opening doors and some of the small cramped quarters we have ," Boggs said. From there, it was on to the new Disabled Student Programs and Services building, where Boggs hadn't been inside since renovations were completed.

Last year, after employees complained of sickness, the DSPS building was closed and faculty and stafl were temporarily relocated while the building was gutted and completely rebuilt inside. After a lesson on how to open the automatic door, Boggs was given a tour of the building by Ron Haines, director of DSPS. Haines explained that the nc~ doorknobs are ones that can just be pushed instead of having to be turned. "Somebody with diminished strength has difficulty turning doorknobs," Haines explained. Boggs' next stop was the cafeteria, where his tour guide, Rita Reynolds, president of the Undefeated Club, taught him how to move chairs out of the way and maneuver through tight areas. Reynolds was quite impressed with Boggs' efficiency in the chair. "He did better than the football players did on Awareness Day," Rey.nolds said. Boggs was not the only faculty member confined to a wheelchair for a day. Dean of Student Support Programs Lise Telson, and Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Student Services Joe Madrigal also took on

the challenge. Telson , who has a master's degree in rehabilitation and counseling and was once a director of Programs for Disabled Students, was nevertheless surprised at the difficulty of being in a wheelchair. "I have total respect for anyone who uses a wheelchair. It takes such physical and mental stamina," Telson said. Although Telson believes that Palomar has made progress in the area of accessibility, she still feels that there is work to be done. "We still have many more things to do to make our campus a real model of accessibility,'' Tel son said, mentioning that the door of the Health Services Center is a '·must-tix." Boggs said he learned quite a bit from this tour of the campus, and admits that some areas are problematic, "I just became aware of some lips between Lot 12 and the access to the campus." Boggs said. He hopes to have these uneven areas taken care of. "I think it's an important exercise to see what some of our students and staff' have to go through to navigate our campus. That way, we might be able to remove obstacles."

OPINION COMMENTARIES: HARD. ALCOHOL ADVERTISEMENTS

• Commercials will only make hard alcohol the 'cool' choice of a new generation John DeCoursey Slt!((Wmer

• Hard-alcohol companies hope to increase sales by lifting ban· on commercials Suzanne Block Si<if( Wriler

Banning hard alcohol ads on television, while allowing the beer and wine industries legal and proli fcrate access to the airwaves, lacks common sense. But our liberal lawmakers and federal agencies are allempting to defy logic yet again. The debate began when the Distilled Spirits Council ofthe United States unanimously voted to lift its voluntary ban on television and radio advertisements. This ban has been in effect since 1936 for radio and 1948 for television. The reason for this reversal in policy is quite simply survival. Sales have plummeted in recent years- 25 percent in the last 10 years alone. Seventy percent of the alcohol consumed by Americans today is beer or wine. The board members felt that in order to keep their heads above water, they must increase market share by using the most powerful advertising medium -television. Representati vc Joe Kennedy is expected to introduce a bill in Congress prohibiting these ads. Good luck- commercial speech is protected under the Constitution. A similar law was overturned by the Canadian Supreme Court in 1995 because it only banned hard alcohol and not beer or wine. The Federal Trade Commission has jumped into the act by issuing subpoenas to Seagrams, one of the two companies currently advertising on four television ~tat ions, to review the contents of the ads and its

effects on minors. The Federal Communications Commission has launched a similar. but separate, probe. Both agencies suspect that Seagrams' real motivation behind using a cute dog in their TV commercials is an attempt to seduce young people to drink their product. Maybe it is - but does anyone remember Spuds MacKenzie') Why was there no indignation, investigation, or legislation brought on by that cute canine') Was it because he was hocking innocuous brew and not the hard stuff? Even President Clinton, whose radar locks on to every passing bandwagon, came out against alcohol ads on television. . Now this audaciously defies logic. He goes on MTV and tells a room full of underage viewers. as well as the mill ions watching at home, that if he had the chance to smoke pot again he would. And now, just four short years later. he is concerned about the irreparable harm that may be caused to impressionable children from ads for a legal product that most people have silting around in their cabinets anyway. The !logging he took for the meteoric rise in teenage drug usc during his watch may explain why he is trying to morph himself into the second coming of Nancy Reagan. The positive side to this debate is that it will probably cause the re-evaluation of all alcohol ads. This is good lor the distilled spirits indusny. They will either be allowed to advertise on TV, and thus compete on a level playtng field with the beer and wtne industnes, or all alcohol ads will be forced oil the air. But only banning hard alcohol ads, and not beer or wine, would send the wrong message that one variety causes more harm than the other.

. ard-alco~ol

companies, H unlike their beerselling counterparts, have been kept off the television airways for the past 48 years in. an attempt to keep underage drinking to a . . minimum. ith freedom of speech and commercial freedom on their sides, companies like Seagrams have decided to throw their hats back into the ring. Expect to see more than just be·er commercials this holiday season.

Years ago, when I would spend early Saturday mornings planted in front of a television, I was not discriminating with what I watched. Anything that came across the screen got absorbed just as quickly as School House Rock. Commercials didn't annoy me then the way they do now. Instead . the y were a fuel that fed my mind with ideas of what cool stuff I needed to have. "Cool stuff'." How do things come across as being cool' 1 Whenever we sec people we think arc cool , whatever those people arc doing at the time can easily be rated as cool. too. That sounds rather sophomoric , but it usually seems to work that way . especially with teenagers and children. The first time I saw a pack of cigarettes (about age 6), I thought it was an unopened deck of cards. Suddenly, I sec "cool" people lighting up and laughing, having a great time. Hey! Cool' I wanna have that so I can be like them, too. Duh. The same applies to alcohol. Those really cheesy Budweiser ads from the '70s and '80s with the Clydesdales made me curious to try beer. However, having never seen hard alcohol on television or laying around the house, I was never curious about it. I didn't know anything about it until much later on in life . And that's a good thing . othing of value was lost from my Ii fc simply because I wasn't introduced to drinks Iike Goldschlagcr until! was 24 years old. On the contrary , it's better to become acquainted with such heavy pleasures as hard alcohol when you' rc old enough to drink responsibly. But being exposed to aJvertiscmcnts depicting cool people downing hard liquor and continuing to look cool can be a bad influence if the viewer isn ' t able to weigh the true facts. The misleading message could guide an impressionable mind into trying something way out of the individual's league. It could also turn a person on to a substance they enjoy at way too young of an age. Once the body gets a feel for something it enjoys, an addiction or dependence can start. Although Alcoholics Anonymous has yet to have a 6-year-old join its meetings, the initial actions that lead to alcoholism can begin at any age. Exposure to hard alcohol should be restricted. But if advertisements for hard alcohol hit the television screen, the control of exposure is lost. Nobody lose~ if there arc no hard alcohol advertisements put on telcvtston. Fanhful consumers already know what they like and where to lind it. Cunous people 21 years and older can experiment with new drinks at bars and clubs everywhere. And the companies that sell the liquor already have enough profit in their poe kcts to match the proo r in their bottles.

OPINION 9

To some athletes, cash comes before winning I guess winning isn't everything. Two weeks ago, I had just returned home from work and began to unwind from a long day, when the news on tclcvision made me think, "what is this world coming to?" ESPN's SportsCcntcr was on, not a rare occurancc at my house, and they were reporting that a number of Boston College football players were alledgedly gambling on college football. To make matters worse, a couple of the players bet on their own games. This recent college football scandal leads us back to the "should college football players get paid lor their service to the school" question. The players were betting on gan1cs trying to make some money. Plain and simple. If they got some

compensation for their efforts on the field, they might not feel inclined to have to try and make money under the table. I admit l've tried my hand at the "under-thetable money" game once or twice in Mexico and Las Vegas. And while flushing my hard-earned money down the sports-book toilet, I noticed I wasn' t the only college student ··wastmg·· my money. Again, the BC incident wasn't a unique incident; the NCAA just picked out it's yearly victim and pa~t judgment. Passingjudgement on players who bet on their own games is one thing, but the players who just bet on football games in general shouldn't be penalized as long as somewhere in this country gambling is legal. Legal or not, the players who gambled on their own game didn't change the outcome anyway. Hell, ifl was still a betting man. I would have bet on the other team as well.

Plastic money lures many toward frivolous spending • Easy credit can quickly trap general public into carrying too much debt

Robert T. Nanninga Sra(f Wrirer

Well, we are in the midst of yet another seasonal shopping frenzy, and all is right with the capitalist world. With Visa cards clutched in their trembling fists, Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public are desperately charging forward in pursuit ofhappiness and joy. As ifThanksgiving and Christmas weren't enough, we now have "the busiest shopping day of the year," which has become a holiday unto itself. The countdown to Christmas in terms of shopping days is designed to work people into guilt machines. mindlessly consuming everything in their garishly decorated path. Malls have become Meccas for people wishing to keep up with the Jones', who, by the way, are trying to keep up with the Smith's. Promoting thi s destructive behavior is the media. Every newscast has a play-by-play of who is buying what, and where. This year it seems clothing, jewelry and toys are the big sellers. Wow, deja vu. It is odd that as a country we arc

swimming in debt, debt that our children will struggle to pay off, yet we continue to encourage people to buy on credit with no money down. Buy now pay later has become a mantra to the financially challenged. I was at a gathering last week where the purpose was to look at the power of gift-giving. One of the gentlemen in attendance was a financial planner, and it was his opinion that the more money you spend, the bigger your gift to society. The way this man spoke of capitalism reminded me of religious reverence. The consensus is that consuming is the American way. To their credit. most people at the gathering agreed that the meaning of gift giving had been lost. and the ritual had become nothing more than a learned behavior. Everyone gets a gift, whether you like the person or not. Conspicuous consumption is the rule, and senseless shopping the norm . I had to tell my mom to stop buying cologne for me. Every year I received a new bottle of expensive stinking water, stinking water I never wore, in my stocking. My

brothers still get their fragrances. Ritual is ritual, and it is hard to break. I have made it my mission to alter holiday traditions. Thanksgiving does not have to include a dead bird, Christmas does not have to include a dead tree and the whole mess docs not have to include mountains of garbage that will makethcirway to the landfill once they are ripped from the over-packaged gift you will soon put in a closet. until your next garage sale. Shop away you silly sheep. Now, before you attempt to canonize me. let me JUSt say I am not perfect. I too , was raised m th1s cu lturc of perpetual waste. At times I find myself buying things I don't need. It's as ifl have been possessed by the ghost of Sam Walden. So if any one of you reels the need to buy gifts for people you barely know, feel free to include me on your shopping list. I am curre ntly in the process of filling out my compact disc collection. I am hoping Santa Claus, the patron sain t of stuff, will bring me the collected works of Bobby Sherman, Helen Reddy and Chcr. Happy Holidays.

ol • Palomar reporter spends time in a wheelchair and learns to appreciate her mobility Mimi Bowles Sw[j Writn

What is usually an enjoyable day window shopping at the mall became the challenge of a lifetime. Everyday tasks suddenly seemed monstrous. I quickly despised wheelcha irs because they represented a feeling of helplessness I have never endured before. I consider myself to be a fairly empathetic person. Therefore, when my Editor-in-Chief, Angela Logan, a paraplegic. offered me the chance to be in her wheels for a day. I jumped ·at the opportunity. I was excited about finally realizing the kind of life struggles Angela, and others like her. go through on a daily basis. For the first hour, the chair was fun. Much to my dismay however, I quickly learned that being in a wheelchair is not as easy as o ne may imagine it to be. Before I sat in the wheelchair I never gave much thought to where and how I carried my belongings. The first lesson !learned was that I couldn't carry anything with my hands. Everything I put on my lap soon fell ofT, requiring me to contort my inflexible body in such a way as to be able to pick the object up ofT the floor. Angela advised me that I could not usc my stomach or back muscles to lift myself to an upright position. I quickly decided that anything I carried had to be hooked on to me somewhere. For example, hanging my pen from my shirt kept it from falling on the floor.

" !learned to use what I have. I became very creative.

After solving the puzzle of how to carry things, my next chore was the bathroom. I never realized how difficult" it is to open doors. When I couldn't do it, Angela had to show me how to wedge the chair in the doorway and then push the door the rest of the way open. Once in the bathroom , I was surprised to discover how impractical the location of the soap dispensers is. When I realized how impossibly far away from the sinks the dispensers were, what I once thought was an ingenious idea suddenly became an absurdity. I was faced with the problem of wheeling myself to the sink with slippery soap on my hands- an impossible task.

ENTERTAINMENT Grunge goes from underground to big screen • "Hype!' tracks music that put Seattle on map lan Spelling College Press Sen·ice

Not that long ago, grunge music was an underground thing. That was before it landed mainstream playtime, fueled a fashion trend and helped make Seattle a hip place to live. Now grunge is passe, says filmmaker Doug Pray , who directed a film about the grunge music phenomena called ··Hype!" "The timing couldn't be worse, coming out in 1996 with a film about something that was hugely popular four years ago. Therein lies the irony of the film," says Pray. The acclaimed "Hype'" tracks the evolution of grunge rock phenomenon that, along with coflce, put Seattle on the map. "Therein also lies why I would strongly urge people who think the timing is terrible to go sec the film. It's really about the birth, explosion and mass co nsumpt1on of an underground ..:ulture. We could not have come out with ·Hype'' in 1992. It took four years to tell the story because the story is really about a four-year period." Over lunch at an Italian restau rant in midtown Manhattan, Pray and his '·Hype!" partner, producer Steven Helvey, do their bit to promote ··Hype'" Both Pray and Helvey come across as decent guys thrilled that their film is seeing the light of day. " I want to clarify one thing Dougjust said," He! vcy says. "What would be absurd is if we came out

People in Seattle in 1992 were tellmg us 11 was over. though it really wasn't. If you look at "Hype'' 10 years from now , it will still have its valid sense of the scene. The film looks back and captures a pop culture cycle in which Seattle was the focus of all the energy. But no one should look at the film as a pull piece about grunge or Seattle."' Indeed, "Hype'" is clearly alabor of love that evolved over a long period of time. Like most first-time filmmakers. Pray and Helvey

struggled to raise funding. lived off crcd1t card~ and struggled to get some oft he bigger names in grunge to participate in the proJeCt. "Eariy on, we didn't have Nirvana, Soundgarden or Pearl Jam in it," says Helvey. ··we had Mudhoncy, The Fresh Young Fellows, Screaming Trees and other groups like that, who were instrumental in creating what became known as grunge. We didn't have stars, so we got a lot of potential investors saying, 'N ice to meet you' and 'Good luck. I'm pulling for you."' Eventually, financial backers

came through with money. Soundgardc,, agreed to appear in the film. and Pearl Jam 's Eddie Vedder sat for an mtcrvicw . Pray and Helvey also landed footage of what's purported to be Nirvana's first live version of, ··smells Like Teen Spirit." The fi 1m makers eventually had countless feet of material which took a year to edit into a final form. ··You never knew exactly what you got until you looked at it,"Pray says of the editing process. "You'd conduct an interview that seemed totally bad. You'd sit and think, "I'm wasting film right now . which

is too bad, because this guy SHOULD be interesting.' "Then, later in the depths of editing hell, you'll go back to that interview you thought was a waste and find what you need. It suddenly comes to life and is right in context. That happened again and again. Other interviews you think you're nailing while you're doing them, hut they're not usable. They may be impossible to edit." Helvey interrupts, saying, "What was interesting about doing the interviews was that these guys and women weren't stuffy. Most of them were very funny and didn't take themselves or even the music too seriously. The fact that the whole world took the music so seriously was so absurd. Journalists came in and tried to define the grunge sound, the scene. the fashions. It was a big joke. That 's whatthemovie'sallabout."' Pray and Helvey know '·Hypc 1"could be their foot in the door for careers in Hollywood. The two are looking for projects to do together and apart, documentaries and features alike. All that, however, is a bit down the road . First, Pray and Helvey must criss-cross the nation in their effort to hype "Hype!" ··we're learning, nght now, firsthand. a lot about what the bands in the movie arc talking about," Helvey says. ·'We made a film, somehow got it made. We got it seen, very fortunately, at the Sundance Film Festival. Suddenly, we're meeting all these industry people and all these media people. Now, the film 's getting released, and we're doing more interviews. It's so ironic. Doug and I arc not Pearl Jam, but we' vc gotten a sense of what people went through in Seattle. lt 's exciting and scary, and we'll sec what it leads to."

Crisis sends Brooks XTRA hits home to 'Mother' big time David CoHier Terra-Dawn Mauser Staff Writer

Albert Brooks plays mid-life crisis-stricken John Henderson, who moves back home with his mother, played by Debbie Reynolds.

A man struggling through a midli fc crisis decides to move back home to mother's house in Debbie Reynolds's new movie "Mother." Albert Brook plays the role of Jon Henderson , a man frustrated with both women and his career in writing science fiction novels. Having gone through two divorces, Jon Henderson has gone sour on love. Debbie Reynolds plays the role of Beatrice Henderson, the mother, who lives in Sausilito, San Francisco and is shocked to find her 41ycar-old son moving back home. Jon Henderson moves home to get to know who his mother really is. Having a younger brother who is married. has a secure job as an agent, a family of his own. and is always talking and clinging to his mother, Jon Henderson goes hack home to "recapture a feeling ... He discovered. like him, his mother once had a love for writing and had a scholarship that she

couldn't follow through with due to her husband's objections and having to raise the kids. All Beatrice's dreams were forgotten . Debbie Reynolds weaves a web of emotions all women with children have felt in their lives. The movie is humorous, I ight-hcarted, and certainly should not he overlooked this year. The audience reacted well to Debbie Reynold 's newest movie, enthusiastically laughing at all her jokes and cheering for scenes in which they heartily agreed. Horton Plaza, in downtown San Diego, put on the screening, packing the house with eager viewers. Seating was limited, but everyone in the audience seemed to enjoy the mOVIC.

··Mother" features an all-starcast including Lisa Kudrow ('"Friends"') Brooks. Both have a natural flair for drama and comedy. The movie's poignancy and humor really come out, creating a movie both men and women will relate to and enjoy.

Talk radio has long been an outlet for frustrated lovers and politically unhappy citizens, but for the last six. years XTRASports 690 has catered to those who wanted to talk spbrl<~. The AM sister station of 91X has grown into Southern California's biggest source for sporL'> talk, using .local personalities as well as national ones to create a niche for itself on the radio dial. XTRA struggled for years to find a format with which it could succeed, changing from oldies to nationally syndicated talk shows like Ru::;h Limbaugh. While it became known in the late 1980s as the Mighty 690, nothing seemed to prosper for owner John Lynch. Finally in 1990, the station switched to an all-sportsformat.

Jim Rome, who started at the station after graduating from UC Santa Barbara, now is syndicated in over 30 markets across the country and has hosted shows on ESPN2 and FX, and appeared in the bit movie Space Jam. Lee "Hacksaw'' Hamilton, who was around before the format change, is the station's "franchise player,'' and the voice of the Chargers. John' Kentera, who -was MiraCosta College's Athlete of the Year in 1978, and has worked as a major league baseball scout, coach and recruiter at Texas Tech and basketball and baseball coach at Torrey Pines High School among other things, has worked with XTRA since 1987. ''We've created a whole new nighttime audience," says Kentera of the show that started in March. ''ll is a great format for people who are coming home from games, kind of like ESPN, where fans can hear loci{er room reports and updates from other games." When XTRA switched to its all-sports formatLynchknew that the station would not succeed if it did not target the Los Angeles market as well as the market in its San Diego home. The station secured the rights to UCLA and Los Angeles Kings broadcasts. Lynch hired Steve Hartman, who had previously worked for the Los Angeles Raiders public relations department and for

'Emancipation' shows off artist's newfound freedom from Warner Bros. label I

CD Review

• The arti;)t formerly known as Prince puts out a new sound Catharine Hines Sw {{ \~n1er

The art1st formerly h.nO\\n as Prince has won hi s freedom from I11S old Warner record label. He must have been holding bach., because his new record is three hours long and comprises three cassettes and hrcc COs. Each song is an artistic treasure , a real gem. with well thought out music and lyrics. The artist formerly known as Prince oilers up his masterpiece of funk, jazz, rap. and even swing. He has truly taken his freedom, or his emancipation, as he puts it, to heart with "Emancipation." Freed to create his own record labeL New Power Generation Records, he offers a fun and enjoyable rollcrcoastcr record package. The artist formerly known as Prince has definitely matured as a songwriter. With his recent marriage and birth of his child, Prince sollcrs this record as an indication that he has gone through some li fc changes and the opportunity to grow as a musical composer. Gone arc the records filled with only raunchy lyrics and slutty innuendo, although there arc still a few dirty lyrics. I mean, what would the artist formerly known as Prince be •.vithout those naughty lyrics.Thcrc arc some sweet cover versions like "One of Us'' and "I Can't Make You Love Me," along with trendy songs like "Emale" and ·'My Computer." With "Emancipation." he writes about issues closerto his new-found heart. like about mother and child. having a baby. love. religion, sex. h:1d all that. Each song is Iike a

polished gem, artistically crafted. He frequently adds accompanying instruments. background vocals and ingenious mixing and sampling. On one of the songs, he uses a sample from America Online's e-mail system. On another. "Sex in the Summer." he samples the ultrasound heartbeat of his baby. It seems like the artist formerly h.ml\\ n as Prince trul) was being held back from h1s record com pan) . because he· s let f(Jrth so much crcatJ\ it) .that there was no way he could hme held bach. wJthjust one record. His last. "Chaos and Disorder." was pretty bad. However. it was a collect JOn of leftovers from his work with the New Power Generati on. As almost an apology to h1s fans and to himself, he brings back the NPG and declares with "Emancipation" that he's starting fresh. Other highlights, and there arc many , include ··curious Child." "Dreaming About You," ''The Holy River," "CoUJ·tin' Time,'' and the first single released from the CD called "Betcha By Golly Wow 1" The artist formerly known as Prince had an earlier record called Sign '0 the Times. With "Emancipation,'' Prince shows that he's in tune with the times right here and right now. He even appeared recently on the ·'Oprah Winfrey Show,'' something the old Prince probably would have scoffed at doing. But this is the new man, with a new life, new family and new music. Imagine going to Disneyland and waiting ~ for three hours in line to take a brief go down the Space Mountain ride. With "Emancipation,'' it's areverse trip: you take a quick go at putting the CD in your boom box and then take a three-hour joy ride of music. The "Emancipation'' release is highly recommended.
