King vows to challenge dismissal decision Suzette Clark Ct1-Editor-ln-Chie{

Lawyers for Michael King , the Palomar College professor who was sentenced to spend I0 months in jail for felony tax evasion, have taken preliminary steps to challenge the collcgc·s decision to dismiss him.

King said Tuesday that he has retained a lawyer from the California Teachers Association and the Civil Ri ghts in Education Association to "vigorously fight" on his he hal f.

"We have already requested my personnel records and arc getting ready for what is to come,'· said King ... In my 23 years at

Palomar, this single incident is all there is." king, one of five tenured African American professors , says that when he notified college officials of his pending conviction for tax evasion in February 1996, he was assured that it would not be grounds for dismissal.

Although it has been alleged that King sold grades and falsi lied transcripts, no charge or conviction was forthcoming from the U.S. Attorney's office.

Ycsmin Saidc, assistant U.S. Attorney, would not comment due to other related investigations that arc in progress.

Dr. George Boggs, president/superintendent of Palomar College, acknow ledged that

he had been contacted by one of King's attorneys.

Efforts by members of the Associated Student Government to oust their president have ended.

Proceedings could not go forward without at least five ASG members endorsement. Within the past two weeks, one senator resigned and another withdrew their support of the plan.

At the Jan. 29 meeting, David Espinoza, vice-president of state affairs. had presente<.l ASG president Berenice An·cwla with a letter informing her of plans to begin Impeachment proceedings against her.

EspinoLa outlined charges that incluued failure to uphold the Constitution and Bylaws. specifically, Arrezola's attempt to dismiss him from office without putting it to a vote before ASG members.

Jim Bowen. director of student

activities and ASG adviser, says that Arrezola' s alleged constitutional violations stem from contradictions within the document. ·'As much as we would like them to be, the Bylaws and Constitution are not perfect,'' said Bowen.

There are no plans to revive impeachment plans against Arrezola.

ASG members arc focused on fixing the bylaws to help avoid similar situations in the future.

At Wednesday's meeting, the ASG approve<.! preliminary changes to the Bylaws that would clarif) the travel policy. and allow ASG members to travel on more trips utilizing the student representation fcc.

It was revealed in the meeting that some members of ASG may be prevented from attending the upcoming annual trip to Washington D.C. for legislative lobbying. Theseehanges. once made retroactive, will ensure their attendance.

The Dating Game Colleen DeBaise enon called "pack dating."

"Dating is dead,'' said Arthur Levine, president of the Teacher's College at Columbia University in New York. He recently finished a four-year lifestyle study of 9, I00 students on several hundred campuses, including focus groups on 30 campuses.

"The most startling finding was the majority of college students who said they've never seen

a successful adult romantic relationship,'' he said. "Some arc children of divorce; some are children of parents who didn't get along."

But while today 's students say they've given up on dating and the romantic rituals that go with it, they haven't given up sex.

Despite the fact that students have grown up with excessive warnings of AIDS and date rape, casual sex and one-night stands are

common, say students.

"I know a lot of people who have had sex just meeting someone for the first time,'' said Palomar freshman Lei anne Jenkins.

On a typical night out, students go out with a group of friends to a party, movie or somewhere to hang out, adds Jenkins.

Romantic commitment isn ' t what most students are looking for, said Levine, whose book-length study will be published next year.

Emotion and sexuality seem divorced in many student relationships, he said.

"Everyone has hormones; it's [become] more a hormonal activity than emotional.

That's the way life works."

Even the slang terms students use to describe sex-scrumping, shacking, scamming-belie a lack of romance associated with the act, he says.

Thanks in part to a handful of California State University San Marcos students, traveling between CSU and Palomar will be a lot easier for students this semester.

After some prompting from several CSU students who attended a North County Transit District board meeting last November, the public busing service investigated the need for transporting students between CSU and Palomar.

Their research has resulted in Route 342, the CAMPUSConnector, a new bus route that travels from the Palomar College Transit Center, to Restaurant Row, to the CSU campus and finally to the San Marcos Civic Center.

'There was a transportation demand for students between the colleges," said NCTD Marketing Representative Lori Homstad.

The route is currently on a six month trial period to sec if enough people will use it. Jan , 28, the routes first day. 126 people used the CAMPUSConncctor.

The route runs every half hour from 7:15a.m. to 6:25p.m. on weekdays only.

The fare is $1.35 and transfers are free.

Looking for a job just got a little easier thanks to the national on-line pages service BigYellow (www.bigyellow.com), a company that lists nearly every business in the United States.

This service will help upcoming college seniors locate jobs or help them fine tune their resume. It helps all students find business in the U.S. Rather than spending hours looking through piles of references books, graduates-to-be can log on to Big Yellow on the Internet's World Wide Web to check out the different products and services available to help find a job.

Students can use BigYellow to find comprehensive lists of resume services, employment agencies and career counseling firms. BigYellow's database is extensive, with more than 16 million business listings. Students can use it to find names and addresses of companies they're interested in pursuing on their own. The service is free to consumers.

A new class located at the Mt. Carmel Education Center will enable those who arc interested in folk medicine to learn more about this topic.

The class is entitled Folk Medicine/Herbology and it concentrates on the study of herbs.

Nona McClure, Director of the Mt. Carmel/Poway Education Centers, stated that she attended the course last semester at the main campus and enjoyed it so much that she even requested bringing the class to the students of the Mt. Cannel Center.

The class meets Monday nights at the Mt. Carmel Center from 6:30 p.m. to 8:20p.m. and is taught by

Will Bowen who holds a doctorate in Medical Anthropology.

"I like teaching about herbs bccauseofall the benelits I' vc ach ie ved from using them myself," Bowen ·tatcd.

Palomar students attending education center classes at Pauma Valley or Pala Indian Reservations no I011ger have to make the trip to Escondido to put in lab time or use a computer.

Realizing that with increased enrollment and additional classes being offered at the Pauma Valley Education center, Palomar College has extended its services to assist students that don't live near a main campus.

The Pauma Valley Center has recently installed a new South Pace computer program in addition to the five computers t;hey now have to offer.

The program enables students to complete lab time and workshops for self-paced Math 15, 50 and 60 classes.

"Things are finally happening out here. We not only have

the five computers, we also have a fax machine and a xerox machine available now," said Nadia Garcia, Pauma Valley Education Center assistant.

Garcia also stated that they are working on getting Internet access into the lab.

Counselor James Luna said that he believes the students at Pauma Valley need Palomar's support. "As a counselor, I know that anything we get out there will help the students. We are way out there so umil now we weren't able to get any supplementary programs. These workshops are valuable, they give the students another learning tool."

According to Garcia, with approximately I 50 Palomar students attending classes at Pauma Valley or Pala Indian Reservations and with seven more Indian reservations in the district, more learning tools are much in need.

Pell Grant funding to increase by 25 percent Colleen DeBaise College Press Service

"Three hundred extra dollars can reduce the overall burden of attending school. At a community college, it makes a significant -Mary San Agustine difference."

In the first news conference of his second ~" term, President Clinton endorsed a 25 percent increase to Pell grants that he said would "widen the circle of educational opportunity" to needy students.

The president also detailed two key proposals in his fiscal 1998 budget for higher education-a $10,000 tax deduction and a 700,000 to I million in the next three $1,500 tax credit or "HOPE Scholarships" years. for college expenses.

"The Congressman will look at the proposal in the context of balancing the budget," said Press Secretary Lon Gulakowski. "Studies indicate that a more balanced budget could lower interest rates by as much as 2 percent , saving students thousands of dollars."

Educators are divided in their assessment of the President's proposal.

Marvin Carmichael, who is the financial aid director at Clemson University, said the average Clemson student graduates with roughly $10,000 in student loan debt. ''It is encouraging to hear that the president is increasing Pell Grant funds, but a $300 increase will not make a significant

"Three hundred extra dollars can reduce the overall burden of attending school," said San Agustinc. "At a community co llege, it makes a significant difference."

San Agustine says that more money can help a student work less, enabling them to devote more time to school.

The American Association of State Colleges and Universities , which had sharply criticized the tax plan, said the proposed Pel I grant increase made Clinton's new package more acceptable. ''The packllge does represent an improvement in that the president shows he is committed to need-based aid," said Barmak Nassirian. director of policy analysis at AASCU.

FEATURE Students Submerge in Mexic@n Life Mimi Bowles Covr Ediwr

Narrow , dusty cobblestone streets and the distant sound of a church bell chiming the hour are the first glimpses of the new world a group of Palomar students have ventured into. Some arc a I ittlc nervous, others arc relaxed , but all are excited about the prospect of meeting new people and living a different life, if only for two weeks.

This is the beginning of my trip, sponsored by the Palomar Foreign Language department, to San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. Located about three and a half hours outside of Mexico City , San Miguel de Allende is home to the Academia Hispano Americana.

The Academia is a world renowned institute for the study of the Spanish language. and the school I attended on my recent adventure in Mexico.

Having never been further than Tijuana, this trip. held during the winter interccsston . was my first real excurston to the interior of Mexico. Traveling with a group of other students from Palomar and nearby schools, I had come to San Mig\]el to , ~ud y Spanish and expe-

ricncc a different way of life while living with a Mexican family.

George Pcsacrcta, chairperson of the Foreign Language Department, has been taking groups of students down to San Miguel for the past three years to study at the Academia. " We like San Miguel because it ' s a small town , but the main rcason we like it is for the school. It's one of the oldest Spanish language schools in Mexico and enjoys an excellent reputation," Pesacreta said.

The Academia oilers a wide va: ricty of classes , and I quickly discovered that good listening skills are very important. Every class is taught in Spanish. Having been warned that the first few days in Mexico would be awkward , I was e xpecting to understand nothing, both with my host family and at the school. However, I was pleasantly surpri sed to discover that in both situations, I was spoken to slowly so that I could understand , and I did. ''Palomar's chosen to work with this school because of the avai lability of small classrooms, dedicated teachers, and wide selection of classes," Pesacreta said.

A group of Palomar students gather in the small classes to learn and practice the essentials of the Mexican language and culture.

or twelve people, 1 found that individual attention was not lacking.

Having no background in Spanish other than what I had picked up at work, I was amazed that I understood as much as I did , both in the school and on the streets shopping at the "ticnditas" (little shops). I quickly learned how to bargain in Spanish and could carry on a conversation relatively well with my host family.

However, confusing moments did exist. I remember when my host mother informed us that we were having elephant meat and canary tongues imported from Mexico City for dinner. The whole family went along with the story and it wasn't until later that they let me in on the joke. It is these moments that Pesacreta believes make the trips so unique.

"I think especially through their homestays with families they ' re exposed to the culture in a way that's not available to the average tourist. They live the Mexican culture through their families," Pcsacrcta said. "Seeing the culture from the inside as the Mexicans see it gives one a whole new perspective and many of the stereotypes we Americans have been exposed to disappear."

"We discovered the school and the town several years ago and we visited it along with other Mexican towns and we felt that this town fulfilled all the needs that Palomar required," Pesacreta saicl.

But San Miguel is not just known for its Spanish-language institution.

It is also known for its "high quality arts and crafts ," Pesacreta said. Located in Colonial Circle , which includes the cities of Dolores Hidalgo, Queretaro, and Guanajuato, San Miguel has many little ' artsycraftsy ' shops that I quickly discovered.

I learned fast that I needed to take my camera with me wherever I went, because everyday I saw something of interest , including burros in the street and several different mariachi bands. Palomar also takes its art and photography students to San Miguel during these winter trips.

"San Miguel has many characteristics of small towns in Mexico.

Mimi Bowles I The Telescope

Between classes, Palomar students had the opportunity to live among Mexico's historical architecture and bustling streetlife.

It's also a world-famous art colony and it offers a wide variety of cultural events, concerts, and theater," Pesacreta said.

San Miguel, according to Boehm Gallery Director Harry Bliss, is a major art colony and has two major art institutes. Bliss h a s

down Mexico for 20 years, though this is only his second time in San Miguel.

"Mexico is a very interesting place. It's very inspirational because of the color and age of the place," Bliss said.

The class that went to San Miguel on this trip, was taught by Bliss and several local artists instead of at the institute. The emphasis was placed on watercolors and photography, and Bliss feels the trip was worth it.

" You get to visit a different culture and find out that there's different ways to do things. It expands a person's awareness oftheir potential in life," Bliss said.

San Miguel is not the only place Palomar travels to in Mexico. According to Pesacreta, Palomar's study abroad program, which has existed for twelve years, also takes trips to Morelia, Guadalajara, Cuernavaca, and Oaxaca.

Mexico is not the only country available for these trips.

"Mexico is just one part of o u r Palomar Co IIe ge s t u d y abroad programs, which include programs in Paris, France, and Nerja, Spain," said Pesacreta, adding that the next trip to San Miguel will take place in January of 1998.

DATING: Casual sex still alarge part of college life, regardless of increasing STD numbers Continued from Page 1 You go out in groups (then you end up) getting drunk and going back to someone's room," he said.

Then in the morning there's the proverbial "walk of shame" across campus in the same clothes worn the night before.

"It's real scary," he said, of the casual sex liaisons. "It's startling that a group of people could be so cavalier about their sexual practices given the risks."

Last Valentine's Day, Brown University's student government hired a computer dating service to breathe some life into the dating scene.

The response was overwhelming: more than I ,500 students filled out questionnaires for HUGS, or Help-

ing Undergraduates Socialize.

Rajib Chandra, a Brown senior who formed HUGS, theorized that th e response was driven by students' desire to return to traditional courtship.

"There's no real dating scene at Brown," he told the Brown Daily Herald. "In a normal Brown relationship, you meet, get drunk, hook up, and then either avoid eye contact the next day or ti nd yourself in a relationship."

"Here at Palomar, two people interested in one another usually try to meet at the same place," Palomar student Ed Cox said . "Everyone usually meets up at a party," he said. " I don't think we even categorize it as a date. 'Oh, I'm just spending some

time with her.' 'Date' is like a fearful word, like 'commitment.' " There are exceptions, of course.

In his study, Levine found students could point to campus couples or "velcro twins" who met during the freshman week and have been inseparable ever since.

The norms of dating vary by region, too. At some colleges in the South and the Midwest, old-fashioned courtship is still alive and well.

At the University ofGeorgia,junior Kieva Adams said she notices plenty of serious couples walking around campus together. "They' re aftluent around here. There's a lot of holding hands, a lot of pecking," she said. "I know people who are engaged."

Second-year Palomar student Andy Lynch tends to agree with Adams' point of view.

"Dating (rituals) are still alive," said Lynch. "Men still court women.

Sure, people hook up at parties, but dating is the same as it always was."

The opposite is true at colleges in the Northeast. McWilliams, at Amherst, said she knew a woman who got married her senior year.

"That was a horrible anomaly," she said. "I don't see a lot of people who have found their soulmate."

At academically elite colleges such as Amherst, students often come to campus with high SAT scores, but seem learning impaired when it comes to the social graces.

"Ihearalotofgirlssaying, These

guys are brilliant. They could talk about molecular physics for hours, but if they ever had to walk up to say "hi" to someone they wouldn't know how to do it,"' McWilliams said.

"People here do worry about their work. That's how they got here in the first place. I think it makes it hard to start a relationship and hard to reevaluate priorities."

That's why most students are " uncomfortable with social situations unless they ' re drunk," she said.

In fact, a study two years ago by the Harvard School of Public Health found 20 percent of binge drinkers engaged in unplanned sex, and I 0 percent had unprotected sex.

Apparent! y the music world adheres to a similar logic by which the justice system sometimes operates: even if you're good and worthy, we'll screw you anyway. And many talented artists are left in oblivion while other lessdeserving "artists" are set free on the general public, only to submit our ears to unforgivably hellacious noise.

So why isn't Ednaswap further up the ladder of success?

With hordes of pathetic bands currently terrorizing the airwaves and concert halls of America, we're not exactly overburdened with talent.

"Chicken," Ednaswap's debut on Island Independent Records, is a five track EP that puts most current fulllength albums in a comer. This is not the kind of CD where the one- song you know is the only worthwhile effort on the disc.

Preven's father is a psychiatrist, and at the age of 17 she became a mental-health worker in the adolescent depressed suicidal unit.

One of the patients under her supervision, a young girl, escaped from the hospital . After a huge search, the girl was found, but only after she tried to kill herself.

When Preven got to college, she created her own major: psychobiology.

However, a recurring desire to be in a band eventually derailed her from the mental track.

She joined with Rusty Anderson (lead guitar), Scott Cutler (rhy thm guitar), Paul Bushnell (bass), and Carla Azar (drums) to

The name "Ednaswap" came appropriately enough from a nightmare Preven had in which she belonged to a god-awful band called Ednaswap. Freudians may now commence with ana lyzing.

Thanks to a well-con trolled use of bass guitar, and lead vocals by Preven that shift with the mood of each song, Ednaswap avoids the common pitfall of recycling the

As far as album titles go, "Chicken" could not be more on the money. Ednaswap has exposed a circus of swirling realities and personal demons . And they dare you to enter.

Valentines should check-in to 'Hotel de Love' Doris Moore Staff Writer

Last Thursday, my fiancee, Michael, and I had the opportunity to watch "Hotel de Love." The movie, written and directed by Craig Rosenberg, tells the story of a bizarre love triangle between two brothers and one woman.

Before the show, I had just taken a vicodin pill because I just had all my wisdom teeth pulled two days prior.

Unfortunately, the effect of the medication had me snoring in the movie theater. Thanks to Michael , I am able to produce a movie review through his perspective.

"Hotel de Love" is a mixture of comedy and romance. It is the story of fraternal twin brothers Rick (Aden Young) and Steve (Simon Bossell) who fell in love with the same woman, Melissa (Saffo n Burrows) , at a high school party.

Before Steve had a chance to get acquainted with Melissa, Rick embraced her with a soft kiss. Their hookup quickly leads to an intimate relationship . Although Steve was extremely envious of Rick's relationship, he kept his true feel-

BurinlESS 'Beautician' Rebuilding of an 'Empire' Antonio Elliott John DeCoursey

St(l/f Writer

Entertainment Editor

Question: Can Fran Drescher carry a feature length film·) Answer: Not even if she is paired with one of Hollywood's sexiest actors. Drescher not only stars in this bad take oiTof"The Sound ofMusic" but she also doubles as the film's executive producer.

Former "007" Timothy Dalton stars as a president by the name of Boris Pochcnko who becomes captivated by Joy Miller's (Fran Drescher) beauty and charm.

And no, Pochenko was not deaf.

The chemistry between his character and Drescher's proves the theory that oil and water do not mix.

The film opens with a small animated segment of Joy Miller as Sleeping Beauty. All the characters from the story, including her fairy talc hunk-of-a-prince. surround her as she sleeps. The prince drops to one knee (like most fairly tales), and kisses his lovely princess.

Aficr she wakes from her state of dormancy, to her surprise, the p1ince has made plans of living happily ever after.

This was not the idea of thi s 90's princess. She wants a career, and has dreams of her own. One kiss just doesn't do it anymore.

This entire movie was clearly a parody of Hollywood's great love stories. A cup of"Romeo and Juliet,"

Drescher (left) and Dalton act as dumb as they look in "The Beautician and the Beast."

a slice of"Wcst Side Story," and a sprinkle of fashion was clearly their intended recipe for humor. Mix it together and presto: "The Beautician and The Beast."

I had high hopes for the movie after viewing the opening segment.

Don't be surprised if you find most of the humor in the first I0 minutes.

Joy's small potshot at· Eva Peron ("Evita") excited the townspeople but had little to no effect on the movie audience.

The supporting cast, lead by a chicken, stole the show.

Settle for the laughs that you get from the previews shown on television, and say you saw the movie.

If you area tan of Drescher, then you must see this movie. If you are on a date with a Drescher fan, then find the theater manager and ask lor a complaint card.

Billedbysomeastheworstsequel in the greatest trilogy, "The Empire Strikes Back" will once again have the chance to prove itself tomovieaudiences when it is rereleased on Feb. 21.

When it Oneofl..ucas'many first hit the movie toys. theaters of the world back in 1980, "Empire" surprised many fans of the original "Star Wars" with a darker, more dramatic storyline and an ending that left thefateofalmosteverycharacterupin the air.

Unlike it's predecessor, "Empire" was a dark sequel to a movie where good triumphed over the man in black.

Few people should be surprised this time around, however, because it's still the same movie: it will still end the same way. The difference will come in the same torm as in last month's ''Star Wars" re-release: about 41/2 minutes of new eye candy.

And with those 4 1/2 minutes in the new "Star Wars," Director George Lucas made an estimated $36.2 million last weekend to add to the film's previous gross of $323 million.

Andthat'sjust"StarWars"alone; the trilogy has grossed an estimated $2 billion, all together.

The reconstructed "Empire'' has a few new sights to behold, most of which appear in the film's opening snow battle sequence.

"In the original version there were somecllirk lines showing in the battle scenes," explained Dave Carson, the visual effects supervisor. "For some ofthescenesofthe pilots flying over

the snowscape, you could see, if you looked very closely, part of the snowscape printing through the cockpits and the side of the ships."

Lucas also asked Carson and his team to work on some scenes set in Cloud City, the home of Lando Calrissian. Replacing the original matte paintings of a floating city are three-<limensional environments created on the computer.

'We now get a stronger sense that there's an actual city around the characters," adds Carson.

" Into the Night-Paintings from the '90s," a retrospective of the art work by Dan Camp, is currently on display in the Bohem Gallery at Palomar College.

Camp's contemporary work is characterized by a combination of classical and mythical styles, as well as a mixture of images from modern society.

With highlights and strong shadows, Camp tells stories full of drama and mystery through the oi l paint on his canvas.

OPINION Smart parenting or invasion of privacy~ • Parents need to keep tabs on kids

II

Kristian Billiot Satellite Vie11· Editor

The Food and Drug Administration's approval of a home drug test is an important step towards parental empowerment.

Our future needs to be protected by protccti ng chi ldrcn and teenagers from the crueltics o f the w<irld. · Drug abuse is permeating the lives of young adults. These chi 1drcn arc curious and they hardly know right from wrong.

Children have a tendency to get into trouble, whether they're succumbing to peer pressure or doing so of their own rrec will.

The government holds child protection laws as a high priority. However, how can such a huge government keep tabs on Iittlc Jack and Jill to make sure they stay within the boundaries? The truth is they can't. The government can only set up guidelines.

For parents, rollowing these guidelines as a means or raising their kids proves to be difficult. Parents often find themselves being slapped in the race by child protection laws as a result or their discipl in ary measures.

It ' s time for the government to give more free reign of children hack to their rightrut guardians, the parents. In addition, parents need to exercise their power by grabbing those reigns, keeping them and using them.

The approval of the home drug test is the government ' s attempt to enable parents to take charge and usc their new power.

The home drug test can detect marijuana, PCP, amphetamines and other drugs through a mail-in urine sample.

Parents who arc in denial about their kids' wrong doings will rind it easier to usc this conven ient method of drug testing. They wi ll be able to go straight to the local supermarket, pick up their eggs, milk, drug test, and other necessities and then perform the test in the privacy or their own home. This is more appealing than having to deal with tons or intrusive questions and lines at the hospital.

Critics may argue that kids will never volunteer to donate their urine so that it can be checked out. However, i r they rcrusc the family can "bet their bottom dollar" that the user has ·been hiding their drug usc. H they haven't been hiding anything, there shou ldn 't be any problem with peeing in a cup, except for possibly gettin g their fingers wet. Either way the truth will become eviden t and the problem can be dealt with.

Let's not forget President's Day A friend and I were lamenting the passing of two national holidays over dinner a few months back.

Not because we no longer get two days off, like we did in elementary school, but because we no longer commemorate the birthdays of two great presidents.

Jan. 17 is President's Day and is it merited to lump Clinton and Carter with Washington and Lincoln?

To be fair, not all presidents can be great.

Most arc never tested by war. economic depression or some other national catastrophe. Most arc blessed with placid times.

Maybe we should reserve President' s Day as the celebration of Chief Executives born in the month of February.

Out of the 42 men to serve in that capacity, only four have been born in February: George Washington, William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Washington laid down the foundation for the office while our new government was still in its infancy.

Harrison holds two presidential records - he gave the longest inaugural speech in history and served as president for only one month before he died in office in 1841. tin261n !'reed thd slaves.

Reagan ended the Cold War and licked double digit inflation. He also made us proud to be Americans again.

We have built great memorials to Washington and Lincoln in our nation's capital.

While it doesn't look like Harrison will have one erected in his honor, a mention in "Guinness Book of World Records" is a nice consolation prize.

The greatest symbol of Reagan's accomplishments will not be the monument that may be built in his honor one day, but the one that came down.

The monument I am referring to represented the pernicious plague of socialism that spread through Eastern Europe after World War II- the Berlin Wall.

I remember the day the Wall came down in 1989. I wept as I watched it live on CNN. Though-the socialist system was taking its final breaths. it took a Reagan to put it out of its misery.

Female cadets need further protection Joseph Mctigue Srajf Wrirer

Hold your breath, here we go agam.

Arother Military Academy snafu.

When will they ever get it through their kc•tlar helmets: there will never be justice fo ·academy women without an equal ratio of women to men on academy councils. first it was the Citadel, next the Virginia Mi'itary Institute and now my beloved West Point Academy.

I worked directly with the cadets at West Point for two summers supporting the Cadet basic training summer camps. While there, I met some of the brightest, positive and most motivated young men and women whom I've ever come in contact with (Palomar College excluded).

So far, every negative academy headline getting publicity in the last ten years except one had a common trait of sexual abuse involving women as the victim.

The exception was a mass finals examcheating scandal at Annapolis.

In every case involving sexual abuse, the main problem seems to be the system.

The current system holds all cadets accountable under the Department of Military .Justice, which by all accounts is lenient toward the male perspective. Remember, this has been a male dominated organization since its conception.

Asking the Department of Military Justice to identify with the feminine perspective would be like asking a feminist to explain the emotional aspects of football.

This is the reason the problems continue to stun us in the morning news.

Both parties should be required to take a course that combines human sexuality, the 14th Amendment of the United States' Constitution, and a reading of "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus."

,

Upon completion of this first step, one solution could be to keep the current system, but allowing for an equal percentage of women and men to reside on the military counsel presiding over all cases - especially the cases with sexual overtones.

Though this would initially create more cases, in the long run it could be the cure.

A second possible solution would be to have the cadets in all academies fall under

civilian jurisdiction when dealing in matters of justice. This might eliminate the scuffles between the academy and media/public scrutiny, though the female students attending these academies would have a rude awakening after graduation when entering their military commitment.

I hope the academies come up with a sound solution soon- one that will respect the liberties of both genders.

Cupid's arrow misses point on Valentine's Day Whether you believe in Cupid or St. Valentine, and even if you arc a florist or a jeweler, observing Valentine's Day Is a useless holiday.

So Hallmark and See's Candies would lose a few bucks? There arc more and more "Hall mark" days being created as we speak.

People in the greeting card business probably wouldn't miss it that much, and when there is a "Hallmark" day, we all know that candy goes hand-in-hand with a card.

Hand-in-hand, holding hands, doing that special something with a valentine- it's all been burned into our collective heads that those arc the things to equate with Valentine's Day.

Nowhere in the early history of Valentine's Day does it mention anything about roses, chocolate or diamond rings.

Making a big deal about treating your '·main squeeze" like they are the most important person in the world for a day is a mistake.

Shouldn't couples treat one another like that everyday? If it can happen one day a year, why not the 364 (or 365 during leap year) other days there arc in a year"7 Sure, buying gifts for your significant other is a nice gesture, but the presents don't mean anything if the rest of the year is filled with conflict.

Valentine's Day is simply the escape clause in the contract of a troubled relation-

ship. Without Cupid firing his vicious arrows into the hearts of innocent prey, a relationship must stand on its own merits, not on those of a special day.

That special day's namesake, St. Valentine, was on the right track when he secretly married young couples against the direct orders of his emperor. On the wrong track. however, is the way the American public makes such a stink over making their loved ones feel special.

Maybe that's why there is a Valentine's Day. Putting that special someone onto a pedestal on a regular basis is so rare that if we didn't set aside at least a day, it would never happen.

"King's situation has rcllectcd badly on PASM," said James. "It is disappointing to :;cc our former adviser, who was a po~itivc role model, in a situation like this ."

James added, that had it not been for Lise Tclson. dean or student support serv ices, PASM would not have been able to organit.c events for Blad History week.

Despite the Board's unanamity 1n its dcc1sion to remove King. he vows to continue his battle to rcmai n at Palomar.

Club Council under new helm Shigehiro Kondo Staff Writer

Palomar's Inner Club Council welcomed a new leader at Tuesday's meeting.

Paul Evmorfiadis, a computer science major, was appointed to the position last week when the Associated Student Government named him vice-president/Chair oflCC, replacing Jennifer Schmidt, who resigned earlier in the semester.

Evmorfiadis says he wants to continue to encourage a community-oriented environment on campus.

"I want to help Palomar become more like family -with more people participating in school activities and everybody developing a sense of belonging."

Evmorfiadas plans to continue at Palomar for one more year, and hopes to serve as ICC chairperson until the end of the spring 1998 semester.

Although he admits that he hasn't been active with clubs at Palomar, Evmorfiadas sees this as an asset.

Different takes on Michael King from Pan African Student Movement members past and present ...

)ou're m:t jOUr uaiverstt> isa't.

"King was not afraid to speak out on students behalf. He inspired, guided and influenced many students."

Robert Jenkins, former president of PASM and ASG member

"I haven ' t been associated with any one club at Palomar, whichmakesmeunbiased," Evmorfiadas said. "I won't show favoritism towards anyone."

In the fall of 1995, the ICC was made a subcommittee of the ASG. This move made the appointment of an ICC chairperson a student government matter.

The ICC is comprised of representatives from all clubs on the campus and coordinates activities and campus functions involving or organized by clubs. In the past year, the ICC has encouraged clubs to volunteer to chair events sponsored by the ASG. Thi s week, the Pan African Student Movement and the Connection Club, coordinated events celebrating Black History Month.

On Wednesday, Evmortiadis said that Photography Club members have volunteered to chair the committee organizing events for Women's History month, currently scheduled for March ll-!6.

Since 1982, Bob Yeller has been head coac h of the Comets base ball orga nizati on.

With over a decade of e xpe rience, Ye ller plans on a "good season" for the haschall club. This year should he bcllcr than last season , when the Co mets finished 15- 19.

For the new season , Yeller acquired 18 new freshmen from around Sa n Di ego Co unt y.

Yeller felt good about his freshme n: "We ha ve a who le new hall c luh ." O nly two pl ayers arc returning this season as sopho mo res.

Th is new tea m is a sma ller sq uad o f 20, as opposed to las t seaso n's 28 ma n line up . O f this new mi x, seven arc pitc hers this season.

Yelle r looked fo rward not onl y to hi s freshmen, hu t play in g riva ls thi s seaso n. O ne team th at has rema ined to rival the Come ts arc the San Diego Mesa Olymp ians'. a lthough the rivalry ex ists, Yeller says those arc some ofh is "most fun games." T he " healthy rivalry'' is fun for Yeller conside rin g he is frie nds w ith the O lympia ns' coac h Mike Sanchct..

Wi th a ll of th e fres hm en and two sophomores th is season, Yeller hopes for a "prod uct ive year.

"As yo un g as they arc, if they come out of this year w ith a wi nning allitudc, the n that will give them a lot of momen tum for nex t year."

Yelle r made sure to point out that the future looks good for hi s hallcluh he docs not wa nt to disco unt the present season.

"We arc still go ing to win thi s year. and earn a pl ay-o ff spot," Yeller said . 'T d like to sec thi s ballc lub wi n. "

A Palomar player perfects his swing during practice. The Comets will host Orange Coast Tuesday.

With four out of 20 games won this season, the PaJomar women's basketball team are still winners in dedication, according to Sherry Titus. Titus has been coach of the women's basketball team for two years and feels "winning is highly overrated."

In response to her team's season, Titus said, "If you only look at wins and loses, it has not been a successful season. " "As a coach of so many years, you look at other things, like how many players are still in class, how many are still coming to practice, and how many are still going to graduate, or transfer with an Associate Degree.

"Right now we have the b es t record the wome n' s basketball team has had in many years with all the other factors in consideration ."

Ti t u s s tarte d her coaching career at Utah State University then moved to Dixie College where she stayed for 14 years. After several years of unfair pay wages between male and female coaches, Tjtus tried her luck at Palomar College.

When asked how she likes the campus, Titus replied, " I absolutely love it here at Palomar.

Everything here is equal!"

The feeling is mutual between the players and the coach .

Freshman forward Kerry King said, "Coach Titus really installs ethics." Kari Harrington, another freshmen forward responded, "She doesn ' t give up on us, and gives us a positive outlook." In addition, sophomore guard Lanna Lee added that Titus "motivates us to do our best."

With a "positive outlook" in the present, the future comes to mind . Titus would like to see all players leave Palomar College and be productive individuals and to see a brighter future for themselves .
