A hearing date has been set for Associate Professor Michael King's appeal of his dismissal from Palomar College.

Palomar's Governing Board voted to dismiss King Jan. 28 after released court documents indicated he pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion in May 1996.

The documents indicate that in exchange for the guilty plea, prosecutors agreed not to pursue additional charges of selling grades, the sale of fraudulently obtained high school diploma's, and soliciting and accepting bribes from foreign students.

The hearing, scheduled for May 12, will be presided over by an administrative law judge agreed upon by both parties.

After both sides present their witnesses, the judge will decide whether to uphold the Governing Board's decision to dismiss King.

Court documents released to date indicate witnesses "admitted to buying grades from the defendant [King]" in taped depositions, grand jury testimony, and in sworn statements.

But according to Dr. George Boggs, president/superintendent of Palomar College, requests by the college that the courts open these sealed documents have been denied.

"We have the pre-sentencing documents, but they [the U.S. Attorney 's Office] refused to release these materials," Boggs said.

King has denied that he ever sold grades, and said in a January interview with The Telescope that students told him they had been "pressured and intimidated" to SEE KING, PAGE 17

we encounter problems," said bookstore manager Michael · Schaeffer. "Our main concern now is that fall runs smoothly."

The decision was made in midMarch to update the closed-stack system after numerous complaints over the years concerning students waiting in line for nearly two hours to buy books.

The new system requires students to find and collect their own books from open racks in the store, where before a personal book list was made for each student and school employees retrieved books for students .

Students must bring their registration slip or class schedule to find out what books they need off the shelves. There will be 14 cash registers operating during peak hours of text book sales.

"I don't know that it will be necessarily easier. It depends on the students. Some come in totally helpless while others come in on the ball," said Schaeffer. He SEE BOOKS, PAGE 17

Survey Says. • • CSUSM students find new marketing strategies for Palomar 11

Sarah Katin Swf!Writer

Thanks to the help of our neighbor, Cal State University San Marcos, Palomar has new insights on how to attract potential students .

Four business students from CSUSM, Ahn Vu, Wilson Kennedy, Gregory Gromeck , and Huy Nguyen, recently concluded a survey to determine why potential students don't attend Palomar. They presented their findings at an April 17 meeting, with Palomar's President, Vice Presidents, and Deans all in attendance.

"All of the administrators found it very interesting. The students provided us with information that will be useful when planning how to schedule classes," said Dr. George Boggs, president/superintendent of Palomar College.

"This is a unique study and it will be mstrumental in finding the needs of the students. This is the first time we've ever gone out and actually asked potential students 'why not?"'

said Nona McClure, director of the Mt. "This is the first time Carmel I Poway we've ever gone out Education Centers.

Basement bargains sighted

christian fellowship

• Escondido Center hosts homemade crafts sale Shigehiro Kondo Staff Writer

The lobby of the Escondido Education Center assumed a lively atmosphere with vendors and shoppers as it hosted the third Bargain Basement Boutique on May I. During the event, the lobby, where students usually only pass through to their classrooms or stop by for school procedures, was filled with a dozen vendors se lling their homemade crafts and catching the students' curiosity.

Vendors were mostly crafters from the community, but two Palomar adjunct instructors also participated in the Boutique.

Anita McLellan, American Sign Language instructor, and Beth Ritter, art instructor, set up their tables and sold their homemade jewelry.

"I sell my homemade dichroic (metallic) glass jewelry from between $8 and $90 dollars. I really enjoyed the Boutique. The people at the Escondido Center were very helpful. I will be here again in November," said Ritter.

This is no ordinary ad. There are no gimmicks, fancy graphics or hip catch phrases- just old fashioned honesty. I decided to make my ad a letter to the readers. So here goes: "For 27 years I've been an attorney. I've defended insurance company lawsuits. Prosecuted all kinds of claims: auto accident, personal injury, airplane crashes, landslide, construction defects, slip & fall, workers' compensation, business & corporation matters, probate, real property cases, etc. I am experienced on all sides of the bench. I've been a Judge (pro-tem) in Superior Court, Municipal Court, Workers ' Compensation and I have served on the Executive Committee of the State Bar Workers' Compensation Section. Also, I've been an Arbitrator and worked for two Title Insurance Companies."

So if you have need for legal advice and/or representation in matters such as the above, make an appointment. My staff and I will do our utmost to get you the most the law allows.

• Making a false or fraudulent workers compensation claim is a felony subject to up to 5 yrs. m prison or a fine up to $50,000 or double the value of the fraud, whtch ever zs greater, or by both imprisonment and fine.

The terracotta wind chimes that McLellan makes out of clay sell for between $8 and $ 18 dollars.

"The turn-out wasn't very large but the small group of buyers were attentive," said McLellan.

Proceeds will go to the Patrons of Palomar College to help support college activities. The event is expected to be held again at the Escondido Center in November.

Staff anticipates that there will be more vendors which will sell their homemade crafts for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Palomar ponders remodeling campus II . ASG, Faculty Senate raise few

objections to 'Schettler's Garden' site Suzette Clark Ne11·s Ediwr

Two Palomar College boards have decided this week to support the se lection of what is commonly referred to as "Schettler's Garden" for the proposed site for a new science building.

Associated Student Government and the Faculty Senate both voted to support the site.

The location, though never officially dedicated, is called "Schettler's Garden," and is a wooded area located between the library and Staff Parking lot 12. The garden is home to Hubell 's Arch, a brick sculpture by Ramona artist James Hubell that was donated to the college 25 years ago .

Pat Archer, associate professor of social sciences and the most vocal critic of the site choice, would like to see the area preserved

in its current state. Archer has appeared before several campus organizations including the Governing Board, ASG, the Faculty and the Faculty Senate - in an effort to rally support for the preservation of the area.

Archer's pleas. however. have meet with little support.

The college's at-large Faculty organization this week tabled a resolution put forward by Archer that called for the preservation of the garden. Auheir May 7 meeting, David Boyajian, associate professor of chemistry, said that the construction of a new science building is crucial for health and safety reasons, a sentiment echoed by members of the Facilities Master Planning Task Force.

WHEEL: Solving one puzzle earns Palomar student $1,200 Continued from Page 1 Tieri, Ken Ewing and Sasha L'Esperance. They each had to decipher various puzzles in order to win one of the 12 spots available.

"We took a test of unsolved puzzles to see how many we could solve in five minutes. And then they selected 15 people to continue," said Micheloni.

"Then you play a game against two other people just like it is on the show."

Micheloni won out over her fellow Comets and was notified late Monday afternoon, April 27 that she had to be ready for that Thursday's taping.

"If they didn't call you by Monday, then that's it and they say thank you," said Micheloni who walked away with $1,200.

Even if she wasn't picked she said she would still have been in the audience to watch the show.

Micheloni admitted to being a fan of the show and of puzzle games.

"I watch the show every night with my fiance and I have the

Wheel of Fortune Nintendo game. the computer game and the travel games. My mom and grandmother got .me hooked," said Micheloni.

Aside from watching the show at home there was no advice from the "Wheel of Fortune" staff except to relax in front of a studio audience and television cameras.

"They just went through everything that was going to happen and explained everything to us to make us feel really comfortable.

They wanted us to ask questions; they didn't want us to be nervous.

Pat [Sajak] really helps you to calm down. He's really laid back," said Micheloni.

They also had to show their college spirit by wearing a sweatshirt representing their school.

"They [the Palomar bookstore], didn 't have shirts with 'Palomar' all the way across the front of the shirt so I had to make my own." said Micheloni.

Prior to the show she didn't get a chance to meet Sajak or hostess and letter turner Vanna White.

Micheloni has made plans for when the show airs on May 19.

She will be taping it and saving the tape to show her future chi 1dren. ''I can't wait. All my friends are going to be so excited," said Micheloni.

In addition to Palomar, students from California State University, San Marcos; Grossmont College, San Diego State University and other area colleges played host to the "Wheel Mobile" that offered prizes and chances to audition for the San Diego taping.

Palomar students were given their opportunity on April 14.

Faculty organization ,has endorsed the plan wi th the provision that the college commit to creating an equal or greater amount of green space than is destroyed by construction.

Palomar College is in the process of finalizing an initial project proposal that must be submitted to the Chancellor's office by July I. The proposal 'was presented to the Governing Board as information April 22, and is tentatively scheduled to be voted on in May. It must be approved by the Governing Board before it can be sent.

The Facilities and Master Planning Task Force is recommending the new science bui lding be constructed in a portion of "Schettler's Garden." When construction is completed, programs located in Redwood City, the 20year-old temporary bu ildings in north .campus, would be relocated to the current science bui ldings, at which time, the temporaries could be torn down . The state of current science facilities and the deteriorating condition of Redwood City have been an ongoing concern for the task force .

Palomar makes Cinco de Mayo 1997 a special one Mimi Bowles Copy Editor

Below- Yolanda Rangel performers a dance celebrating hope, religion and diversity.

Above- Mireya Gutierrez (business) and Benito Aguero (biology) perform a Sinola dance during Palomar's Cinco de Mayo celebration last week. They were two of over a dozen Spanish dancers to participate in the celebration.

Shouts and yells of words unrecognizable to many people may have seemed a bit strange to many of Palomar's students as they went about their ways. But to Palomar's Chicano community, it was like coming home at the celebration of Cinco de Mayo.

Cinco de Mayo was the occasion of Mexican victory over the French army occupying Mexico in 1865. The battle took place in a little town called Puebla, during the time that the French were supporting Maximillion as emperor.

The event is sometimes assumed to be the Mexican Independence Day, but in reality it is not, and not a major holiday in Mexico.

"In Mexico, they don't really celebrate it (Cinco de Mayo).

They ' re glad that it happened but it's not really that important," said MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) president Rosielinda Briceno.

"Cinco de Mayo is important because it's a part of their culture and they're very proud of their past." Cinco de Mayo, however, is celebrated heavily in the United States and Palomar participates in that.

Although it is supposed to be an annual event sponsored by MeChA, Briceno explains that some years the event simply hasn't happened for various reasons.

This year's event suffered low turnout due to several obstacles, one of which included the Jack of availability of the Student Union.

Briceno explained that the blood drive had the use of the Union, leaving the Cinco de Mayo celebration outdoors in the sun .

According to Briceno, another setback was the late approval from the ASG-it came the Wednesday before the event,

leaving only two days to hand out flyers.

But this didn't mean that there wasn't interest in the event. With Mexican food and drinks, folk dancing, and speeches by people including Chicano Ramon Ruiz.

There was also the rededication of the mural, painted by Edgar Olivares, which adorns the wall

by Palomar's swimming pool.

"The mural is more than an aesthetic expression," Olivares said.

"It's a motivation for the people.

The first object (of painting the mural) was to bring community to the young. The mural is a general concept, it's not just for the Mexicans but for everyone."

The concept of togetherness and unity was also brought by rapper Princess, who sang a couple of songs to the crowd. One of these was about unity, and focused on the need for Mexicans to unite with one another and stand together. MEChA also invited several high schools and junior highs to the event in the hopes of teaching them about unity and their chances in the world .

"We discuss opportunities that they have for going to school, and have speakers from EOPS and Financial Aid. We try to get them into college," Briceno said. "It helps them to better associate with their friends and peers ." This year, Orange Glen High School and San Marcos Middle School attended.

Despite the fact that Cinco de Mayo is not as important as Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16), it still has meanmg to Palomar's Mexican students. ''I'm here today because I want to teach everyone about our culture through our music," said folkloric dancer Julio Garcia, undecided. Adds Olivares, ¡'This is our world, we do better when we are together."

It was prayer. ¡ May I marked the National Day or Prayer and for the first time ever. Palomar students participated. Some for different reasons.

"We're here for two reasons. One is to make a statement to the campus, and the second is by making that statement to bring the name of Christ (to the students)," said Calvary Chapel of Vista Pastor John Randall, who led the group in prayer.

Palomar student Joshua Koehn echoed similar feelings abo ut the day's purpose by saying,"Today's the Nati onal Day of Prayer, and any day a group of Christians can get together and pray, it's a good day. It's a prayer of blessi ng fo r thi s campus and th is nation."

• San Diego's Museum of Natural History will host Hollywood's famous Dinos John DeCoursey Entertainment Editor

Four years ago, Director Steven Spielberg decided to do for dinosaurs what he had already done for sharks.

"Jurassic Park" made audiences thankful for the extinction of dinosaurs, just as "Jaws" made middle-America grateful for living nowhere near an ocean.

This Memorial Day, Spielberg will once again release his prehistoric imagination on us with the sequel, "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (both stories are based on the samenamed novels by Michael Crichton).

To commemorate this event, as well as provide a WHAT: unique means of education, the Mu"The Dinosaurs ofjurassic seum of Natural Park: The Exhibit" History in SanDiWHERE: ego will feature San Diego Natural History both dinosaurs and Museum ilz Balboa Park sets from the 1992 WHEN: movie, "Jurassic Park." .Hay 24 to September 2 The traveling HOW MUCH: exhibit, produced $7 Adults

by The Dinosaur $5 Seniors I Military Society, will in$5 Children ages 3-17 vade the halls of Free for Members and the museum on children under 3 May 24, and fall victim to its own extinction on September 2.

"When 'Jurassic Park' was being filmed, The Dinosaur Society was asked to consult on the construction of dinosaur skeletons," said Kim Lande of the San Diego Natural History Museum. "Universal Pictures and Steven Spielberg agreed to give the props to The Dinosaur Society after 'Jurassic Park' was done if the Society would use all their earnings for research and education."

Combining science with science fiction, this exhibit uses recreated 'models of dinosaurs from the original fllm to explore the facts and mystery of dinosaur survival and extinction.

Visitors entering the museum will pass through the gates of "Jurassic Park" into a lush jungle environment where dinosaurs lurk at every turn.

On display are eight life-sized dinosaur recreations of

those brought to life in the 1992 ftlm through high-tech animation. The eight dino-stars of the exhibition include a 40foot Tyrannosaurus Rex, a 6-foot Velociraptor, and an 82foot Brachiosaurus, among others.

Following this run-in with the dinos, visitors will see a recreation of one of the more elaborate sets in the film: the Visitor Center for Jurassic Park, designed to help visually transport museum guests to the film's island setting.

Video monitors placed around the exhibit will show clips of how each dinosaur model appeared in the film, accompanied by computer generated special effects and animation.

The dinosaur hatchery and birth of a baby "raptor" are featured props, along with storyboards used to stage the scenes, and the artists' first conceptual drawings of the dinosaur.

Additionally, historic footage from the American Museum

of Natural History's fossil expeditions to Mongolia in the 1900s and 1920s will be presented, showing the evolution of paleontology, the study of fossils.

The common question raised by the film is whether or not dinosaurs could actually be brought back to life through DNA reconstruction. Could "Jurassic Park" really happen? In the last section of the exhibit, visitors will learn what separates scientific fact from Hollywood hoopla.

"The Velociraptors in 'Jurassic Park' were running in packs. Scientists now say that that's not true," said Lande.

"But as far as size, the 'raptors' in 'Jurassic Park' were larger than previously believed. Two years after the movie, a fossil of a 'raptor' was found that proved they were, in fact, much larger than we once thought.

"It just goes to show that sometimes science fiction can get ahead of science."

Flambookey crash and burn on latest album Conor Volk Staff Writer

Music is a powerful thing.

It can incite violence, ease depression, raise your spirits, put you to sleep, or even make you cry. It has the ability to alter one's entire mood with its complex combinations of sounds and rhythms.

In the case of Flambookey, their new self-titled album contains 12 songs that seem to have one common goal: to make the listener want to go kick their dog.

The album starts off fast and furious, and unfortunately, ends in the same fashion. The first song, "Sykosufistikayshun," sounds like a missing Anthrax tune. It's heavy guitar has a dark edge to it, which

compliments the muddy bass line and muffled drums to create a very dark, very angry groove that is present in almost every song thereafter.

The immediate problem I had with this band were the vocals. No matter how hard I tried or how many times I listened to the songs, I couldn't get used to lead singer Peter Owens' voice. Half the time he's trying to sound like the lead singer from Faith No More, and the rest of the time he's either screaming at the top of his lungs or has his voice so tweaked out with effects that you can't understand a word he's saying (which is a problem even without the tweaked effects).

The next song, "Fr0ggy Style," is an insult to reggae music. AI-

though the bass line is cool, the transition from a Rage Against the Machine-atmosphere to a wannabe reggae style just doesn't work.

"Inbred," in my opinion, was the best song on the album. It has an interesting time-signature and sounds like Faith No More meets Tool. It is one of the only songs that I could stand listening to twice.

"Stuck Pig" and "Mold" are decent when listened to from a musician's standpoint, considering the complexity of the guitar lines and bass. But in the end the vocals kill everything.

"Bruised Knuckles" flows really well in the beginning, but gets ugly and choppy during the bridge and ends up dying like most of the other

songs on the album.

"Purple Bob" and "Let Us Pray" both start off as potentially good songs, keeping the band's dark and angry persona with its Pantera-like guitar, but the lead vocals still insist on corning in and spoiling all the fun. "Don't Question Me" has the perfect title, since I don't think anyone will question me that this is by far the worst song on the album. It doesn't even create a groove, and even if it did, the vocals made sure that it sucked.

The song "Chi-Chi" has a Spanish feel to it, but no matter what Flambookey tries on this album, their songs always turn to garbage in the end.

"Payasa" was a disaster of a song.

The guitar mix sounded like it was handled by Helen Keller and the vocals reminded me of someone screaming into a bucket. The whole tune sounds cluttered and confused and the bass line seems as though it were recorded in a closet... in a building down the street.

Flambookey ends the album as forgettably as they started; with the tune, "Another Love Song." It's the same horrible stuff that makes you scream for Excedrin when your done, which is something that can be said for the whole album.

It's not that Flambookey isn't talented, far from it. It really comes down to the lead singer slaughtering every decent piece of music present in the album.

Perfect strangers met and had one common ..--....-------,.,..........,---...-----..,.....,.., bond-the love of art. This was the scene at Palomar's annual showing of student artwork at the Boehm Gallery.

Started in 1964, the annual exhibit gives Palomar art students a chance to display their work in the gallery, and also gives art classes a chance to teach the public.

"This event shows the public what's being taught, and exposes people to different types of art," said Assistant Art Gallery Director Jan Burton. "A lot of people don't realize the variety of different classes that are being taught, or the number of skilled professors that are teaching them."

This year's event showcased more artwork than in the past, and also attracted more viewers: more than 700 people.

The work that the students displayed was chosen by the individual art instructors.

"They [the students] really look forward to the opening. It gives the · Diane Banes looks at her father Nathan's work, students an entree into the gallery a free-form ceramic castle. world," Burton said.

And entering into the gallery world was exactly what one student did.

"My work has been in the classrooms, but this is the first time in the gallery," said art major Susan Fellinger.

For another Palomar student, having her work displayed in the gallery is not a new thing.

"This is the second time. It's a real honor. I feel very honored that they asked for my pieces to be displayed," said art illustration major Crystal Larson.

Larson graduated from Palomar last May, but has returned in order to pursue a ceramics major. She enjoys many different forms of art.

"I love clay, oil painting, water colors. I like water colors because it's more challenging, you don't have as much control over the medium," Larson said.

The exhibit was not limited to just the work of Palomar students. It also offered an open house, in which there were many art demonstrations. These included threedimesional computer graphics, painting, ceramics, bronze casting, and stained glass.

The event also included food and the chance forlocal artists to gettogether and share ideas.

All of Palomar's art classrooms were open for public tours during the open house, in order to show what is taught in these classes.

The exhibition continues through May 15.

t1lH, BABY! 1USTIN POWERS' IS SMASWNG FUN 1telro 's resurrection gets a fab Hoi:-ywood flick Sarah Kati.: Suiff Wriler

If intellectually stimulating ovies are what you want, you're better T without "Austin Powers." If you're up fu. two hours of mindless idiocracy, for which i'm always game, this may just be your cup of tea.

Now I warn you this is far from "The English Patient." You won't be seeing this movie popping up on the Oscar ballot anytime soon.

So it's not a cinematic masterpiece complete with a fancy French director and a plot that leaves you contemplating the meaning of life.

However, it is fun and what it lacks in culture it makes up for in humor, polyester threads and a groovy soundtrack.

The story is quite simple. We begin in London in 1967 with our hero Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery (played by Mike Myers, the brainchild behind "Wayne's World.")

By day he's a fabulously talented highfashion photographer; by night he's a suave undercover agent for British Intelligence.

He's a debonair, smooth-talking playboy badly in need of a dental hygienist and an economy size bottle of Nair. No woman can

resist his charm.

Now enter his arch-enemy Dr. Evil, played again by the multi-talented Myers. After an initial run of evil Dr. Evil places himself in cryogenic suspended-animation and launches into orbit inside of a giant Bob's Big Boy restaurant. Our hero volunteers to be put on ice as well, until Evil resurfaces.

Now flash forward 30 years. Evil returns with a fiendish plot to hold the world hostage. Obviously there is only one man who can stop him (surprise, surprise), so our ace agent is defrosted and introduced to a world unlike his own.

An eight-track tape in a CD world, Austin doesn't seem to notice that the free love of the '60s is long gone. Wearing a crush velvet suit, bell-bottoms and horn-rimmed glasses, he is ready to shag every groovy chick he meets.

He is paired with Agent Vanessa Kenington (Elizabeth Hurly, the woman that runs around the garden in the "Estee Lauder" ads).

Kenington is a straight-laced operative and the daughter of Austin's former sidekick. Kenington is uncontrollably drawn to our fearless hero's charisma. Can we feel a love story brewing here?

Together our dynamic duo prepare to battle the forces of Evil. Whether they are escaping a pit of ill-tempered sea bass, or out-seducing a team of robotic terminator chicks known as FemBots (who shoot bullets and deadly gas

from their 'chi-chis'), Austin does it with a style and class all his own, which summed up best is simply shagadelic.

Much to my surprise I found myself laughing through the entirety of this fab fuck.

Myers, who also wrote the script, combines a unique sense of humor that is both intelligent and silly.

Myers also has the challenge of pulling off duel characters: our hero and our foe.

Luckily, Myers is talented enough to pull off the demands of two comically complicated roles.

Don't get me wrong ... Myers isn't the only talent behind this production.

Hurly has proven she can hold her own in Hollywood. Together with Myers, they create a dynamic yet strangely bizarre romantic partnership. She also wears really short skirts: very important of a Hollywood heroine.

Other performances by Robert Wagner, Tom Arnold, Carrie Fisher, and Larry Thomas (the "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld) add to the whimsical and ridiculous atmosphere this movie creates.

Myers takes a typical story and makes it about as unconventional as can be. He twists the usual spy movie into a rip roaring retro ride of psychedelic colors and groovy lingo.

In my opinion as a struggling college student, this is the perfect movie to see while stressing over those impending finals.

Go see this movie and discover the true meaning of a 'shag-a-riffic' time.

It is with mixed emotions that I face the end of the semester.

On one hand, I am thrilled to get a break from the monotony of school and the burnout of The Telescope, but on the other hand I am feeling pretty blue.

The mere thought of having to enter the battle field on Monday mornings without the smiling faces of the people I have grown close to is frightening.

You see, for the first time in my short life I have truly come to understand what it is like to be part of a team.

I know that sounds incredibly cheesy, but it is true.

To know that no matter what, I had people to lean on and a support network to depend on. The people on The Telescope staff became my extended family.

We spent countless hours together and many of those were pleasant, but there were also times when I am sure many of us would have given a whole lot to not be locked up in our computer room together.

But at the end of the week when we saw the final product it was always worth it.

All those endless hours spent staring at the computer screen no longer seemed so bad after all.

I have also been able to develop a side of myself that I did not utilize that often: the giving side.

I never realized how good it felt to not only think about me but to think about others as well.

As the end is drawing near I am inevitably thinking about saying my good-bye's and I find that especially difficult since I might never see some of these people again.

But I suppose that is the way life works.

It's like a saying one my girlfriends often uses, "Life gives you exactly what you need , when you need it.''

So maybe the reason ¡that I came together with all these people when I did was to serve a need in all of us.

Now that need has been filled and for some of us it is time to move on to bigger and better things.

Unfortunately I am not ready yet even though a small part of me wishes that I was ready to break free.

I accomplished many things this semester that I don't think I would have had the courage to try my hand without my newfound friends.

Taking risks is not so bad after all.

There were many times when l was ready to give up because I was convinced I could not take it for another day.

Some how I managed to get through that impossible da) and all the other ones that follow ed. At the end of the week, I felt good again.

I guess the basic point I am trying to make with all of my rambling this week. is I want to say a big "Thank You" to all the fantastic people I have met this semester.

Also an extra large thanks to all the staft"membcrs at The Telescope. And to the people that arc leaving us, you will definitely be missed.

Shigehiro Kondo Swff Wriler

Is volunteerism in the United States really effective?

At least in part, yes, but it has never been perfect. It sti II leaves some problems to be solved.

And this is why the Presidents ' Summit for America's Future, a three-day national volunteer summit, was held.

Putting aside the glitzy ness with dozens of celebrities, the summit was important and meaningful because it clearly addressed a substantial problem U.S. volunteerism has, which otherwise tends to be disregarded.

The summit primarily aimed to increase volunteer efforts for at-risk children who don't have a network of support.

It is said that there are some 90 mi Ilion Americans, nearly 40 percent of the population, who engage in some kind of volunteer activities.

However, despite this large number of volunteers, there are still a lot of people who need philanthropic help.

In short, the problem of America's volunteerism stems from imbalance between supply and demand of support .

For example, in case of a crisis caused by a natural disaster, there is no shortage of volunteers to help rebuild communities and comfort victims.

At the scene of the recent flood in the upper Midwest, a number of honorable volunteer efforts for the stricken area arose. For this kind of volunteering, the

U.S. has been always successful.

Another example, is the so-called recreational volunteer. This is someone who volunteers in museums or galleries.

This type of volunteering also has no shortage in cases of natural disasters.

What becomes a contrast to these two types of volunteer workers is one who tackles daily social problems, including support for at-risk children which was emphasized at the summit.

These volunteer workers have been always in great need; there are many children who have no positive role model and are at risk of slipping into gangs and drugs; there are many homeless people, without shelter or enough food, dying on the streets; and there are many drug or alcohol add icts who need medical assistance or counseling but can't afford them.

They all need help through volunteer ¡ organizations.

Although some nonprofit organizations have been demonstrating remarkable results for such children and adults, they are sti II short of manpower.

Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a charity group helping out at-risk children through mentoring and tutoring, states that there are still 30,000 children waiting to be matched with adults.

In addition , the groups estimate that as many as 15 million additional children could benefit from havirtg mentors.

As addressed at the volunteer summit, what is being asked of current volunteerism in the U.S. is to solve these core problems in society.

Some would say such problems should be taken care of by the government. However when facing budget deficits, the idea is questionable. More effort by the private sector is needed.

While it is true that both being a mentor for children and being a volunteer helper for the homeless or drug addicts require tremendous time and energy which many people may not be able to spare, it is this type of volunteering that is most likely to be needed more and more in the future.

Whether world-renowned volunteerism in the U.S. can really take a further step in the right direction depends on correcting the misalignment of supply and demand.

This is bi-g challenge not only for politicians, CEOs and celebrities who gathered at Phi !adelphia, but also for.all U.S. citizens.

The United States has a worldwide reputation for their commitment to volunteerism, and has been recognized as one of the most advanced countries in this field.

When Japan, my home country, faces some problems regarding volunteerism, we have always turned to the United States for their successful examples and solutions . I remember when the tremendous earthquake hit Kobe two years ago. Many commentators of news media lamented ineffectiveness of Japan's volunteerism, comparing it to America's Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ..

PROPOSALS TO EXPAND STUDENT VOLUNTEER INCENTIVES During the three-day "Presidents' Summit" on volunteerism in Philadelphia, President Clinton set out a number of proposals that would provide scholarship money, work-study funds or other financial incentives for students who perform civic service. They include: AmeriCorps. The president urged corporations to pick up the tab for AmeriCorps participants' $7000 living allowance, now paid by the federal government. That way, over the next five years, the

government could offer 50,000 new scholarships worth $4725 for each year of service, he said.

AmericaReads. The president said he hopes to enlist 100,000 college workstudy students this fall in his "army of tutors" to help combat literacy_ problems in America.

Deferred student loan interest. Students who participate in volunteer service after graduation would be allowed to defer payments on college loans for each year of service. The loan deferrals would go to students who per-

formed full-time community service for any tax-exempt, nonprofit organization and would be valid up to three years of service. The average participant would save $600, the interest assessed for deferring the average loan a year.

Police Corps. The Justice Department's ROTC-style program in which students' college tuition is paid for in exchange for four years of service as a police officer should expand from 200 participants to 672.

Media torpedoes Fuzzy unfairly East Coast Rap •Good-taste wasn't fuzzy James Grumbach Sports Editor

How far will political correctness go?

Too far I believe.

On April 13 at the Masters in Augusta, Ga., veteran golfer and 1979 Masters winner.

Fuzzy Zoeller made what some called racist comments toward golfer Tiger Woods.

This happened while Woods was on his way to win the Masters golf tournament for the first time and become the No.I golfer in the world.

Zoeller was talking to CNN sports where he called Woods "that little boy," and "tell [Tiger) not to serve fried chicken next xcar. .. or collard greens, or whatever the hell they serve."

Referring to the fact that next year at the annual champions dinner, Woods would have to create the menu.

When Zoeller called Woods "that little boy," everyone assumed it was a racist remark against Woods because he's black.

Maybe it's because Woods is only 21 and Zoeller is 45.

I call college freshmen "kids" and I'm not that much older than them.

Obviously, Zoeller's comments were tacky, but far from racist as some have labeled.

I'm not agreeing with the com-

ments he said, but people need to lighten up.

Now let's take a minute andreview what has happened to Zoeller for not being politically correct.

First, Zoeller loses his major sponsor, K-Mart, for making those comments.

Next, Zoeller withdrew from anothertournament because he was upset.

Finally, Zoeller makes a public apology and asks for Woods' forgiveness.

Woods publicly accepted the apology and said he wanted to put all of the unfortunate remarks behind, and move on.

At the end of April, Zoeller played in Greens ville, South Carolina, and exchanged jokes with his longtime friend Victor McBryde who is black. Zoeller shouted about getting McBryde ··some fried chicken."

McBryde told Zoeller not to forget the cornbread and he replied

"How about some watermelon?" If these two men of different color can feel comfortable about joking like that, it shouldn't be a problem.

I think the $60 million man, Woods, can ignore any comments by other golfers, and anyone else who says anything derogatory out of jealousy or spite.

I honestly don't believe Woods is personally or professionally effected by some older golfer with an odd sense of humor.

I'm not defending Zoeller, I just believe you can take Fuzzy's comments and analyze them any way you want.

But why docs the media need to break down and analyze what anyone says anyway?

Woods showed his maturity by accepting Zoeller's apology.

If Woods can accept the apology why can't the rest of the country? I think the media are the people who are fueling this fire.

The members of the media care

about controversy because it sells more newspapers, magazines, and raises ratings. The media would have probably loved if Zoeller had said the n-word.

Instead of going after real racists like white supremacist Tom Metzger and others who spew their ignorant messages, the media chooses to chase Zoeller, a nice man with a quirky sense of humor known throughout golf as a good person.

Why are they making a big deal about Zoeller's sense of humor?

But when Metzger and others are allowed to speak on radio and television, it never makes the front page?

Controversy sells- that's why.

I think society will benefit when people will not take offense to every comment.

When we can feel comfortable to joke with one another, we will feel like we belong to one race, the human race.

Greenbelt and Hubbell Arch should be protected The Palomar College administration is proposing to destroy an existing green belt on campus to build a three story science building.

Everyone is agreed that the college needs more classrooms, but some of us who have seen Palomar College grow believe the green belt with its old growth trees and the Hubbell Arch should be preserved and another building site selected.

The administration's argument is that the state wi II provide money for one science building if the college sublets its request by June 30.

By locating it in the green belt the administration will not have to bring in portable buildings that would cost money and

occupy parking space.

I propose that the building go in either Staff Parking Lot #I I or Staff Parking Lot #7 and the present location of the GJ building.

These plans would require the construction of more parking spaces and/or the inconvenience of having to walk from the far reaches of Parking Lot #9- a ten minute walk to the center of campus.

If you believe that this green belt and the Hubbell Arch should be preserved, please write a letter to the college's Board of Trustees.

Is Title IX a quota system for female athletes~ Sunni DeNicola ColleKe Press Sen•ice

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Title IX, the federal law that threw gym doors open for women's equality in athletics.

Since its passage, the number of women in college sports has increased fourfold.

Yet the overall picture sti II is one of inequality. A recent study by the National Collegiate Athletic Association found 37 percent of those who compete in top collegiate sports programs are women, even though 53 percent of the full-time undergraduates at four-year colleges and universities are women.

The same study found female athletes receive fewer scholarships than do male athletes.

While most coaches and athletic directors seem to agree with the concept of gender equality in athletics, achieving it- or even defining what it means- has proved difficult in practice.

Recent court decisions have ruled that the proportion of a college's female athletes should mirror the proportion of women among the student body.

But many universities had argued that such a "proportionality rule" not only subjects universities to an unrealistic quota system, but is costly to comply with.

What most athletic departments have to work with is a limited budget. In trying to balance the number of men and women playing sports, some colleges are cutting teams or limiting squad sizes and scholarships in men's programs.

Just this month, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to reconsider a lower court's ruling against Brown University. In 1991, Brown, which already funded 16 varsity sports teams for both men and women, cut support for women's gymnastics and volleyball, and men's golf and water polo due to budget problems.

Although this affected more men that women, it skewed the total ratios between men and women in sports. The Brown women sued and won their case.

But Brown wasn't the first university to go down fort he count. The Indiana University of Pennsylvania was ordered to reinstate women's teams after dropping gymnastics and field hockey as part of a university-wide

budget cut. The school also dropped men's sports, but was not forced to reinstate those programs.

Similar stories are heard at Colorado State University (had to reinstate women's softball); Auburn University (had to reinstate women's softball); Cornell University (had to reinstate women's fencing and gymnastics).

Colgate University just recently settled a 1992lawsuit by making women's ice hockey a varsity sport.

Brooklyn College of the City University of New York had quite a different response when it came under fire in 1992. It dropped all its sports teams.

California State Universities at Chico and Sonoma were forced to eliminate their football programs citing Title IX as among the reasons.

Others are worried about the Title IX fallout, including wrestling supporters who say it has caused their collegiate programs to drop at an alarming rate.

The NCAA reports that since 1974, they have lost 140 wrestling teams. And wrestling isn't the only men's sport to be dealt stagger-

ing blows: gymnastics has lost I 0 I teams; swimming, 64; and water polo 46.

But even with its drawbacks, Title IX is working. Women in intercollegiate athletics have reached 100,000, according to the U.S. General Accounting Office.

David Salter, director of public relations for York College of Pennsylvania believes that changing public attitude is one of the most significant effects of Title IX. "I think we can really look at the summer Olympics in Atlanta as the pinnacle," says Salter. "We won gold medals in women's soccer, softball and gymnastics."

But the big money is still in the men's sports. A recent study by the Chronicle of Higher Education shows Division I women's programs lost more than $357 million in 1995-96.

During the same time, men's programs reported a profit of more than $182 million.

The bulk of the profit can be attributed to football. Not surprisingly, many advocate leaving this cash cow alone, wanting it excluded from the Title IX proportional calculations and cutbacks.

So far they have been unsuccessful.

Just Airing Out

Leave me alone fD smoke in peace Chris Tribbey Ediwr-in-Chief

Some of you hate me. Others of you don't mind me as long as I keep a respectable distance.

And a few of you can be around me even though you haven't joined my ranks.

What has transformed me from your average 20-year-old to the social leper before you now? Cigarettes.

Yes, those three-and-a-quarter-inchlong sticks of death have marked me as rude, ignorant and sinful.

Some think I have undoubtedly lessened the lives of others with my habit and I'm surely destined to a lonely and excruciating death because of my vice.

Scorned. Diseased. Rejected.

That's how I feel every time I light up in public nowadays. I get dirty looks from some, harsh words from others, and a general distasteful attitude from almost everyone who doesn't smoke.

Virtually everywhere in California is smoke- free and I can't turn on the TV or radio without hearing how many people cigarettes kill each year.

Now there's even been hearsay that Palomar could soon be I 00 percent smoke free.

Hear, hear, smokers, what will we do when we have to run to our cars to take in those noxious chemicals? Have we not sacrificed enough already?

Where can we smoke nowadays?

They've taken all sections of public transportation and nearly every building.

But that isn't enough for them, is it?

Now non-smokers across the nation want our college campuses, inside and out.

What will we do when they want the streets too? Will we be looking at the 1990s version of prohibition with cigarettes on the dry end?

I, for one, would like to think that there is a limit to the restrictions people can lay on my right to smoke.

It always seems I can't avoid those nonsmokers who not only hate the habit, but the smokers as well.

I have been called "indecent," "selfrighteous," and even "evil" by people because I wouldn't put out my cigarette when they asked.

Tedious laws required me to extinguish my smoke on those occasions (although I was outside) but health concerns didn't come into play because there was no one around.

No, these people went out of their way to tell me to put out my cigarette because it offended them. I listened to their problem, appreciated their advice, and lit a second cigarette.

GiVE- !'V'&AVV E::A-\ ( Y 'PAr DAtE:

:So -;:_ c..AtJ GE--r :P\)TO ~'ti-l

oR

EA)GusH

With alcohol, caffeine and soon maybe even marijuana, why did I choose the one drug that everyone's looking to hate?

Because you're stupid one friend of mine told me. Stupidi1:y ranges from smoker to smoker, and smoking cigarettes in no way constitutes an intelligence level.

No, I think I chose cigarettes because they give me something to do when I'm stressed or bored. They offer me a break in the daily whirlwind of college life.

Well, now of course I know they're bad for me, but cigarettes are just one of a few iegal things that fall under that category.

A simple but truthful thought is keeping me from quitting anytime soon: Live . healthy. Stay in shape. Die anyway.

KING: Professor convicted of tax BOOKS: Students should evasion challenges dismissal Continued from Page 1 testify against him.

Palomar 's Governing Board placed King on extended administrative leave with full pay and benefits while waiting for his appeal.

King is scheduled to begin his I 0-month prison term on June 2 for the tax evasion charge.

King was snared in a county wide investigation prompted by San Diego City College officials in 1993. when irregularities were found in files of international students.

An investigative team discovered an admissions officer was admitting international students and falsely classifying them as residents. enabling them to pay lower fees. SDCC reported their

findings to the U.S. Attorney's office.

The U.S. Attorney's office convicted the SDCC official and negotiated a plea that involved cooperating in · investigations of others involved 111 illegal enrollment of interna- r;_..A--~ tiona! stuMichael King dents.

Prosecutors will not discuss at what point King became a target of their investigation. King says it was through Rancho Santa Fe businessman Sam Koutchesfahani, owner of Tan Trading and Consulting Group.

Koutchesfahani also owns the house where the Heaven's Gate mass suicide occurred, which he was renting out to the cult.

King says he and Koutchesfahani were involved in a failed import venture, which created a financial relationship that led prosecutors to King.

Koutchesfahani pleaded guilty to tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government.

He admitted accepting up to $350,000 from students, and then allegedly used the money to bribe San Diego area college officials into enrolling foreign students who did not meet admission requirements.

The results of the upcoming hearing, which is closed to the public, can be appealed by both Palomar College and King.

be waiting less for services Continued from Page 1 estimates that because of the new system, students who come prepared should be in and out within an hour. "I don't want anyone thinking that there isn't going to be a line," said Schaeffer.

The open-stack system does have its drawbacks, according to Schaeffer. "Most college bookstores Palomar's size lose between $50,000 and $75,000 worth of textbooks each year under this system," he said. To minimize the amount of thefts the openbook system invites, the bookstore will be equipped with video cameras and electronically monitored books. The total to switch to install the security system and to run it each year is $I 5,000 to $20,000.

"I think that it's going to save time but there's the possibility of students messing with the books," said graphic communications major, Holland Hanson. "It'll be quicker but a lot less organized.

Schaeffer agrees.

Without the closed-stack system, book exchanges . will be nonexistent. "If a student buys tbe wrong book, they can get a refund till a certain date, take the money and try it all over again," said Schaeffer. He also noted that under the new system, the store will have to double its refund capability.

Doubles team and mother-daughter pair Katy"and Lynn Jennings prepare for the state tournament in Fresno May 8-10, where the duo has a chance to play in the finals.

In the thick of I 00 degree heat and some tough competition, the women's tennis team still managed a valiant performance in the Southern Regional Tournament this past Thursday through Saturday, May 1-3.

Coach Nan Haugen had one singles player and two doubles teams make it to the quarterfinals, with the Jennings doubles team winning the tournament while the others suffered narrow losses to some of the the top players in the state.

The No.I singles player, Katy Jennings, was seeded first in the tournament and performed strongly, but ended up falling one round short. Jennings then teamed up with her mother Lynn, and after an initial bye the sixth ranked Jennings duo fell in the quarterfinals against Katrina Malek and Bede Medkova, who were seeded first.

Haugen describes Malek as one of the finest players in the state.

"She's just a tough, tough player," said Haugen. "She reminds me of Martina [Navratalova]. She puts so much spin on the ball that you could actually hear it from off the court. As far as I know she's creamed everybody she's faced this season."

Haugen's other doubles team of Allison Gerrick and LaDonne Wedell, were seeded eighth in the tourney and followed the same fate as the Jennings duo; losing in the qaurterfinals.

Despite the losses, Haugen was impressed

"I think both of them, as well as I, feel they've got nothing to lose," said Haugen.

"And plus they're both naturally aggressive, so I think they'll do well. Katy is a sophomore and Lynn most likely won't be back next season, so this will be the perfect opportunity to finish strong."

Spiritual health is the key to a better person and in turn to a far better world.

Religion, church or God do not even have to be mentioned for one's spiritual health to be emphasized.

Each person has a soul that needs connecting with other souls on a level without age, gender, race or religion.

How can we achieve this connection and how will it benefit us?

Treat others as you would want to be treated is still a great philosophy to live by. Each day react to everyone you meet as if you were that person. Put yourself in their place and remember it's one world, so practice respect.

Try to practice non-judgment of others. Non-judgment can create a silence in your mind and free you from jealousy and hate. Judge and your mind tricks you into a "I'm better than you" attitude. Sometimes our human passions lead us away from the spiritual principles of honesty, respect and .fairness. Look at life with your third eye.

These are just a few ways to exercise your spiritual health. It takes time to be more conscious of our spirituality, but if everyone concentrated on becoming better each day, our world will eventually be free of hate, crime, pain, prejudice and war.

It can all begin with you, make a difference.
