Anti-abortion protestor Ronald Brock, who initially idenitified himself as "a messenger for the Lord" is confronted by Palomar student Brady Sheldon outside the Student Union last Friday. Many students were caught off-guard by the demonstrators, who appeared on campus without complying with college policies.

Abortion controversy collides with Palomar John DeCoursey Editor-in-Chief

When Sean Aulds walked out of the Student Union last Friday, he was not prepared for what he was¡ about to see.

Spread across huge sign was a full-color picture of an aborted fetus, legs severed from its body, chest torn open, and head ruptured. The gore of the picture, mixed with the surprise of seeing it, was enough to overcome Aulds, who approached Ronald Brock, the man holding the sign.

"Oh my God, look, that's a dead baby. That's so sad. Why did you have to bring that here? That is so awful," said Aulds, who turned and began to walk away, using a cane because of injuries he sustained in a car accident eight years ago.

Brock, who was wearing a white smock with "Abortion is Murder" written in red-letters and a cross on his baseball cap, yelled after him, "You'd better watch out, after they kill all the babies they'll be coming after the handicapped."

While an angry student (right) watches, Connie Youngkin from Pro-Life America distributes her organization's flyer.

An explosion of noise erupted as some students in the area began yelling at the man in reaction to his comment.

A Campus Patrol officer who was standing near the protester walked away shaking his head, saying, "I can't believe he just said that to Sean."

Brady Sheldon , a Liberal Studies student, leaped into the protester 's face.

"How could you say that to someone? That is so wrong. You had no right to say that to him," Sheldon said.

"It's true," said Brock. "The strong always conquer the weak.

The elderly and the handicapped are next."

"Only an ignorant person would say that," charged Sheldon. "You don't know him, you don't know if he's handicapped. Just shut up."

Connie Youngkin, the other member of the two-person protest team, said to Sheldon, "This is capital punishment. Do you believe in capital punishment?"

"I would if it were your ass in the electric chair," responded Sheldon.

EDUCATION CENTERS New planned center to help 'next generation' • Bus tour takes a look at Palomar's latest home Jay Gallagher Stqff Writer

One good campus deserves another.

Palomar College's Board of Governors is looking for a new site for an education center, according to board member Robert Dougherty "The college has a goal of a new education center somewhere near the j unction of (state Route) 76 and Interstate 15," he said duri ng an Oct. 3 visit to the Pala Indian Reservati on. "We haven't chosen a specific site, but we are looking."

Occupying a campus of at least 20 acres, the center would serve the Fallbrook,.

Bonsall and Native American commun ities of the Pauma Valley within 12 years.

The P~u ma Valley begins near the intersection of state Route 76 and I- I 5 and fo llows the San Luis Rey River eastward 20 miles.

"Our goal should be not only that every American Indian should finish high school, but also that half of them get an associate's degree or higher," Dougherty said. "To do that we need to have an education center reasonably close to Highway 76."

Palomar faculty and staff bus-ride to the site of a potential future education center.

The state wo uld provide funds for the build ings, but Palomar College must buy the land. He believes there are people in Fallbrook and Bonsall who could be persuaded to donate the money to the college.

Dougherty was one of 44 staff and fac ul~ ty touring three Indian reservations within the Palomar College District on Oct. 3. Kris Coxsey, a staff member at the Mount Carmel Ed ucation Center, obtained the fu nds and organized the field trip to "expand staff, fac ulty and student cultural awareness." .In .the tribal hall on the slopes of Palomar

Mountain, Henry Rodriguez told the group the La Jolla Indian Tribe believes in "education at any cost." Rodriguez, a tribal elder, said the tribe needed people trained in management, marketing and public relations to operate the reservation's store and campgrounds. "With education you can deal with everyone," he said.

Jack Musick, the 36-year-old tribal chair person, said the 698 member tribe was dealing with many issues of sovereignty.

"It's not only gambling," he explained.

"It's land issues and water rights." Musick said companies were bottling ground water

on the edge of the 9,000 acre reservation causing the tribe to go without water a week at a ti me.

At the 1 I ,800 acre Pala Indi an Reservation the group toured the partl y constructed learning center. "The center will have a library, tutorial and adult literacy classrooms and an 18 station computer lab," said Jack's sister Doretta, literacy coordinator and librarian for the Pala Tribe.

"For the spring semester we will have fo ur Palomar classes here: business English and marketi ng, PE (physical education) and computers," she said.

The reservati on takes its name from the whitewashed adobe miss ion next to the learn ing center.

Founded by Spani sh mi ss ionaries in 18 16, Mission San Antonio De Pala claims to be "the onl y mission still ministering to Indians today." The Pala have 600 of their 837 members living on the reservation.

In another adobe hall on the Pauma Indian Reservation, Chris Devers Sr. and hi s son performed a traditional healing ceremony with burning white sage before addressing their audience. The elder Devers said the Pauma were fortunate to have had a Palomar College ed ucation center on the reservation for over 20 years.

"It's been a vital resource to the tribe," he said. "Our goal is to get the next generation into a professional career."

Workshop geared toward fighting racism • Workshop attracts attention of White Aryan Resistance Natalie Obrenovich Staff Writer

Why would the founder of Fallbrook's White Aryan Resistance show up to a workshop oriented towards addressing racial prejudice?

That was the question on the minds of many participants when white supremicist Tom Metzger came to Sunday's "Responding to Racism Workshop."

In an effort to bring forth issues concerning racism, Palomar College held the workshop on Sunday, Oct. 5, on the San Marcos campus.

The predominant reaction to Metzger's attendance was surprise. Palomar student Niloo Khodadadeh recalls being asked, "Do you know who that guy in the hat is?" Khodadadeh was then told that it was Metzger.

Many students were unaware of his presence until they encountered him in warm-up exercises.

During an exercise where everyone was paired off, student Betty Bachman discovered Metzger was

her partner.

"I was quite shocked when my eyes fell on the name tag," Bachman wrote in a class assignment following the workshop.

"I, being a middle class white woman, didn't feel the same feelings that some of the other paticipants might have, but choose to observe his behavior as the supreme example of a racist," she noted.

Many students questioned his intentions, asking why he was there and wondering if he planned to instigate something. Workshop leader Michael Mufson said that Metzger didn't take a militant

posture.

"His demeanor was soft-spoken. He seemed kindly and unthreatening like a wolf in sheep's clothing," Mufson said.

Mufson also said that Metzger called KKSM, Palomar's radio station, Friday evening and notified them that he would be atten9ing the workshop . Most students were unaware that he would be in attendance.

"The reaction of the students was guarded ," said Mufson.

"However, many took the opportunity to challenge him. " Mufson said students had the opportunity to learn Metzger's

ing."

The workshop also featured a variety of short performances, theater games, and open discussions concerning the issue of racism at Palomar and in the community.

Alex Luu performed a one-man play titled "Three Lives" that clearly captivated many students.

Mufson said the fear wasn't entirely resolved, however overall it was an interesting turnout.

One participant commented, "Overall the workshop was really powerful but it definitely had a different effect because of his (Metzger's) presence."

views "straight from the horses mouth."

Niloo Khodadadeh recalls an exercise which involved molding the image of racism. Everyone stood in a circle and people in the middle were moved and formed to create images that depicted racism or the exact opposite, mingling all races and cultures.

"When Metzger stepped into the circle he formed an ideal portrayal of separation," said Khodadadeh. He put "a Hispanic in one corner, an AfricanAmerican in another, and a Caucasian in the other. All three were facing each other and smil-

Palomar considers courting fast-food chains Liz Bennett Sll!ff Writer

A task force established to slice a $14,000 deficit for Palomar's Food Services is continuing to debate bringing a food court to the Student Union.

According to Jerry Patton, vice president of Finance and Administrative Services, the goal of the Food Task Force Committee this year is to break even.

The committee has been meeting every other week, trying to come up with a plan to reduce expenses without raising prices or cutting the quality of the food.

One of the proposals made at the Oct. I meeting was to bring fast-food vendors to Palomar.

The committee visited other colleges to see how their food services were set up. Long Beach City College and Santa Monica College have a food court with fast-food vendors. Pepsi Co. is the most predominant company on community college campuses.

The committee plans to continue visiting other colleges during the next few weeks.

Some of the vendors that the committee is interested in bringing in include Subway, Taco Bell, Taco Pablos, China Wharf, Rubios and Pizza Hut. One of the problems addressed by the committee is the amount of cafeteria space that the vendors

"You can talk Band-Aids forever and never be where you want to be." said Bob Ebert, professor of life sciences.

Both Key and Ebert expressed their opinions about the current cafeteria situation, and said that they wanted a place on campus where they would be proud to take visiting colleagues.

According to a survey done by The Telescope in the fall of 1996, using a scale that ranged from poor to excellent, over half of the surveyed population said the quality of food served in the cafeteria was "less than average."

Tai Howard I The Telescope

Left to Right: Eleanor (Terri Park) spends a not-so joyous Christmas with her sons, the cowardly John (David Pinson) and Richard the Lion-hearted (David M. Roberts).

Additional performances for "The Lion in Winter'' will be Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 12 at 2 p.m. Call the theater box office at ext. 2453 for information.

Latest dram.a shows how to tame a 'Lion' Melody Cruz Staff Writer

On opening night, Oct. 3, Palomar's Howard Brubeck Theatre was transformed into a medieval castle interior with the atmosphere as ethereal and murky as the England countryside itself.

"The Lion in Winter," was the reason behind this mood, however, the limited amount of props and the Celtic music being played, did little to show what mood the play actually possessed.

The play begins one particularly eventful Christmas Eve in the chamber of Alais, a French princess played by Kendra Lee. Alais and King Henry II (Pat Larmer) discuss their romance while waiting for the King of France and Alais' brother, Phillip.

The two kings plan on negotiating the choice of heir to Henry's throne. The choices are John (Henry's pick for king), Geoffrey the overlooked son (who has no royal role but desires the crown), and Richard the Lion-hearted (Henry's estranged wife's favorite).

Eleanor of Aquitaine (Terri Park) is his estranged wife and ~lso Henry's prisoner for many years but has been allowed to join the Christmas festivities. This clash between the characters make up the bulk of the play and the bulk of the humor.

Within this castle of chaos, the brothers begin plotting against one another for the throne; Eleanor and Henry are constantly throwing insults at one another; Phillip is the designated middle man between the plots; and Alais is the pained and innocent bystander who looks in on the madness but is never an actual part of it.

Pat Larmer and Kendra Lee tackle the stage first. Larmer seemed shaky in the beginning but he instantly warmed up and everything became second nature.

Larmer did a fantastic job delivering his lines of rude humor directed at the cold and untouchable Eleanor. Lee was a quiet and serious receiver of his quips, which would

of been hard to do had it been myself playing the role.

Larmer's outward appearance as King Henry was believable, probably as a result of his long white ponytail and beard.

Lee, with her blue and white robes, looked almost angelic with her worrisome facial expressions. She seemed genuinely tortured by the events surrounding her. She turned out to be the only honest and sympathetic character, and Lee did a good job of showing Alais' growing strength and personality.

Terri Park's Eleanor of Aquitaine was nothing short of brilliant. Park slipped into Eleanor's personality easily and proved to be a noteworthy character.

Park's devious laugh and her biting sarcasm did wonders for her and Henry's socalled relationship. They played off one another better than many stage couples.

Park was natural and never over-exaggerated. Her insults were coupled well with her expressions, without which the play would not have been as enjoyable.

David Pinson plays John, the whiny coward of a prince who is also a huge daddy's boy. Pinson's portrayal of John was truly delightful. His whining didn't come across as annoying but in a way that made the audience feel sorry for him because he's such a coward.

Also striking was the constant "on the verge of tears" look that Pinson kept on his face a majority of the time he was on stage.

This look might have been used a bit too much, but it was also very effective towards displaying the character's weakness.

Frank Godinez portrays Geoffrey, the character with a clear case of middle child syndrome. Geoffrey is the most devious of them all and believing anything that comes out of his mouth proved to be a difficult task. Nevertheless, Godinez's portrayal is fun even with his prissy air and over-exaggeration of syllables.

The most admirable aspect of Godinez's performance was his confidence. He never missed a beat and the over-exaggeration

seemed to be a natural part of the charac- enjoyable because the servants were a part of the play and stayed mysterious. ter's personality; loud and manipulative.

The play had a few flaws and many memDavid Roberts, who plays Richard the Lion-hearted, looked less at ease with his orable moments. From the choice of music position on stage. His eyes consistently to the gorgeous costumes and everything inscanned the audience and wandered the between, it is worthy of being seen again. stage. He didn't seem to know what to do with himself when he had to stand In silence. His character portrayal was the weakest or maybe it was just opening night jitters.

Although some of Roberts' lines were loud and brutal he lacked the passion that was evident in Larmer's character, Godinez's character or Park's character.

Jeffrey Bard plays King Phillip with grace and elegance.

One could almost almost expect him to leap across the state and start doing pirouettes. His movements were over dramatic, but it wasn't too distracting. A problem with Bard's character was that audiences may have trouble seeing him as a king because he never acted like one.

The three servants to the dysfunctional royals were the replacements to those anonymous people dressed Tai Howard I The Tekscope in black who move props around the Terri Park as Eleanor of Aquitaine manipulates the men in stage. This touch was her life in order to get her way.

Charlie Parker "Yardbird Suite- The Ultimate Charlie Parker Collection" Rhino Records

Catharine Hines Online Editor

I'm a jazz virgin. This CD is my first foray into jazz. Usually my music collection ranges from Judas Priest to Madonna to Stone Temple Pilots to Sublime to Verdi and so on.

I confess I don't know the difference between jazz and the blues; but from what I've heard on· the "Yardbird Suite," jazz is the opposite of the blues.

The little information I do know is about the saxaphonist. His nickname was "Bird" and he improvised so much he made playing the alto sax an art form.

I first heard about Parker about ten years ago while attending

USC film school where I had an internship at Burbank Movie Studio. I was given a opportunity to meet actor Clint Eastwood. He was taking a stab at directing with "Bird," a movie about the troubled life of Parker, known as the Birdman.

I was intrigued that the tough guy from the "Dirty Harry" and spaghetti western movies would focus such zealous attention on a musician I had never heard of.

Who was this Bird?

Since then I've wanted to listen to the man who had held Eastwood's interest. But which record should I buy?

I didn't want to waste money on something that I wouldn't continue listening to.

When "Yardbird Suite" was released thi~ year I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get "The Ultimate Charlie Parker Collection." Rhino records had done the job for me, picking 38 of his best tunes.

Listeners will find jazz treasures of sax, piano, trumpet, bass, drums, trombone, congas and gui-

tar.

My favorite, "Salty eanuts," is peppered with "salty peanuts" lyrics thrown in for shear fun.

The live versions of "Blue 'N' Boogie" and "Round Midnight" include band introductions.

Other audio goodies include "Groovin' High," "Shaw 'Nuff,"

and "Relaxin' at Camarillo" just to name a few.

This CD collection is truly upbeat and energetic with the reminiscent sounds of the '40s and '50s.

It also boasts really moody, slow sets for those mellow moments.

Overall, the entire package would make for sweet background music for that romantic evening at home.

I would highly recommend the "Yardbird Suite" 2-CD set. It's very uplifting; perfect for when you're doing homework, dishes or cleaning.

"Yardbird Suite" contains over two hours of music and comes with a 60 page booklet offering insight into the life of the Birdman.

According to the booklet, it says that this CD is the "first to combine selections from all the principal repositories of Charlie Parker's art."

It includes both live and studio sessions with his band and with Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and other legendary jazz figures. Talk about positive vibes.

Trust me on this one, listeners will love this release. In the rare event that they don't like it they can always give it away as a Christmas present.

This may be my first venture into jazz, but I'll be exploring this genre a little more. .•

the

between ·the Slackers and a lounge act is the content of their lyrics, "Married girl don't you wanna smoke a little marijuana?" from track three, "Married Girl."

The reggae roots of the band's sound are very apparent in several tracks such as "Watch This" and "Soldier." In fact, this band may easily appeal to UB40 fans. However, their music is essentially "based around the 'ska' beat," according to Jimmy Hole of Epitaph Records.

These New York City boys are clearly talented, but it's hard to see tliem getting a radio hit out of this album anytime soon.

Most of the popular ska today is up-beat and/or swing. This album really doesn't delve into that.

The music's not depressing, but it is low key.

Bassist Josh Jones and pianist John Vingoe rehearse their jazz combo in anticipation of an upcoming performance. The duo will perform in a recital required for Performance Studies students.

He pulls his instrument out of its case, hands shaking. Slowly, haltingly, he walks up on the stage, facing a crowd of people and prepares to play. But this time, it is not for an · audience of strangers. It is an audience of students just like him.

This is the experience facing each of the 32 students enrolled in Palomar's Performance Studies class. Performance Studies makes up only one in a series of requirements in the Applied Music program, which offers students the chance to learn to perform, receive free private lessons and practice their performance skills in a variety of different mediums.

Started in 1991 by then-department chair Dr. Joe Stanford, the Applied Music program was started, according to this year's chair Robert Gilson, for a ·variety of different reasons.

"The decision was made here at Palomar that in order to give music majors a head start, we needed this program," Gilson said, explaining that four-year universities requi.re music majors to be in applied music programs and take private lessons which are included as part of the tuition or scholarship.

The program at Palomar, Gilson continued, was modeled after the successful program at El Camino College in the Los Angeles area. As

the program stands now, the music department provides and pays for private lessons for students involved in the program, as long as the students meet a certain number of requirements.

"The reason we offered the program here was that students will have to take private lessons anyway, so they might as well start lessons as a freshman or sophomore," Gilson said.

In order to be accepted into the program in the first place, which has a cap of approximately 50 students, musicians must endure a playing audition, which Gilson says is "fairly simple" and then take a basic music theory exam.lt is on the exam, Gilson says, that students tend to have problems.

"What really limits the students in the program is the pre-theory test, which asks students to answer basic questions about the fundamentals of music," Gilson ·said . These fundamentals include basic knowledge of the keyboard , key signatures and basic rhythms. "The problem is that as good as many of the instrumental programs are in high school, they don 't offer a pre-music theory class."

The auditions are judged by music faculty, which is divided into sections. 41Pe instrumentalists, defined as woodwinds (such as flute, saxophone, oboe, or clarinet), brass, strings, and percussion audition with the instrumentalist faculty, the pianists with the pianist faculty, and the vocalists with the vocalist faculty. In this way,

Gilson explained, the auditions are a faster process.

Once accepted into the program , the students must enroll m Performance Studies, an ensemble, take a one hour private lesson per week, and practice a minimum of five hours per week on campus. In addition, Gilson said, students must perform in the Performance Studies class and perform in front of a jury made up of music faculty for their final grade at the end of each semester.

So with all of these requiremf' ';lts, what does the student get in return?

"I get quality training from a more than high quality instructor and it gives me the tools I need to further my knowledge and advancement in my career in music," said organist Sonny Borges, a third semester student.

Gilson agrees with Borges and says that students enrolled even just in the Performance Studies c.lass are gaining valuable musical experience.

Having taught the class for four years, Gilson has watched the learning process of the students involved in Performance Studies. He explains that the class is divided into the in ~· ru­ mentalists, taught by himself, and the vocalists , taught by Dr. David Chase.

"Vocalists are inherently different than instrumentalists," Gilson said , "in the literature they play and the kinds of problems they have to deal with ." In spite of that, however, Gilson believes all students enrolled get out of the class what they put in.

kes perfec-t "The opportunity to play publicly and in front of the class and get some critical comment on how they played is a very valuable situation," Gilson said. That performance, however, can Lad to performance anxiety, something Gilson tries to help students deal with in the class.

Gilson explains that students are nervous when they get up to play in front of the class, and even more so when they have to perform in a recital. · "Part of this class is to help students deal with it and become more comfortable in· performance," Gilson said.

And Gilson said he believes that this anxiety can be overcome.

"The difficulty in playing publicly is overcome with experience and repetition. You have to be prepared to p.ay," Gilson said. "Playing for a teacher in a studio is one thing, playing in front of a whole bunch of different people is something different.

You get up there and you kind of talk to yourself and tell yourself, 'I'm ready to play and I have something to say with this music."'

As part of the requirements for the class, a student can perform multiple times during the four semesters each student is allowed to spend in the program. First semester students are not required to play in a recital or in front of the class, though they are encouraged to do so. Second, third and fourth semester students, however, are required to play during the class

and in recitals. The number of times a student performs varies based on which semester the student is in, Gilson explained, the higher the semester requiring more performances. It is this repetition of performance that Gilson believes helps to reduce the anxiety brought ·about by performing.

"Some students react to the emotional part of performing fairly easily because you have to literally experience it. Once you get over the fear of the activity, you start to enjoy it," Gilson said.

That enjoyment is what keeps students like violinist Steve Sjobring coming back for more.

"Performance Studies builds my sense of playing in front of people so it brings my level of practice closer to my level of performance," Sjobring said.

Vocalist Lisa Callahan agrees.

"I think this program is one of the best I've ever encountered because we sing all the time and get feedback - it's hugely helpful," Callahan said.

And helping students to perform and improve is the main purpose of both the Applied Music program and Gilson's Performance Studies class.

"The first step we have to achieve is help the student overcome the fear of standing up in front of the class," Robert Gilson, Performance Gilson said.

I stepped up to the ticket window. ''Two, please." ''Sorry, sold out," said the student behind the glass. ''But I'm in the band," I said, figuring they had some hidden tickets if you knew the secret password.

"I don't care if you own the hall, it's sold out. I can't even get tickets for my friends."

It was 1980 at the newly built Berklee College of Music Performance Center in Boston.

After four years of music school, I'd made it. One of the two hottest bands in the school, and I was playing jazz alto sax. When you told fellow students that you were in Bob Rose's band, they looked at you with awe.

As I awoke from the daydream I'd been through a million times, I found myself sitting in D-6, a very 1 a r g e rehearsal hall at Palomar, near the B o e h m Gallery.

In my hands was a foreign object -my sax. Within months of leaving Berklee, I took a day job to pay the rent, and I never seriously picked up my horn again.

Not until today.

I was sitting in the cafeteria having lunch when I looked up and saw the sign. "15 private lessons for $39." To a guy that has paid $25 a week for private lessons, this was a smokin' deal. As I read the attached handout, it became evident that you had to devote about 40 hours a week to qualify. Since I am going to Palomar to the tune of 15 credits and working full-time, committing to that kind of effort was out. But it got me thinking. I opened one of the four class schedules I had in my backpack and started looking through the offerings from the music department. There it was.

Jazz ensemble on Thursday night. I was starting to get excited.

After a short walk and a discussion with the people in the music department, I was told "You can't enroll for the jazz ensemble without a signature. You have to go the first night and play. If you're good enough, then they sign your 'add slip'."

"No problem," I said to myself. I can play Charlie Parker, Phil Woods, rock 'n' roll, jazz and classical. had spent 15 years of my life usually

between one and five hours a day.

At 4 p.m. on Thursday, I came home from work and pulled the black case containing my Selmer Mark VI alto sax out of the spare bedroom.

I had about two hours to practice, plenty of time. I opened the case to this top-of-the-line horn and was hit by a musty smell. ''Very ominous," I thought to myself.

After 20 minutes, it was obvious. My fingers didn't go when I told them to go, and my lips hurt. I was in very rough shape. I was running out of time. Four months at two hours a day should do it. I had about an hour.

As I approached D-6, I started thinking, "Maybe no other alto sax players will show up.

Maybe I can show the conductor my 17-year-old transcript f r o m Berklee, and beg him to let me practice for a f e w weeks before he throws me out.

May be my sound will be buried in the band and he won't hear me.''

As I snapped out of my Thursday night daydream holding that foreign object, I found myself sitting on the other side of the rehearsal hall.

There were four alto sax players sitting in the section. I was too ·embarrassed to sit with them, so I put my hom together off to the side, and sat down, hoping nobody would notice.

In walked Dick Harvey, the conductor. He saw me, pointed to me, then to the only open chair left in the band. Right smack dab in front of him.

"I'm doomed," I thought to myself. "No way I'll make this band. I guess I'll just have to take this semester off and practice, then try again in January."

"Take out 'Wind Machine"' said Harvey. "From the top. 1 - 2. 1 - 2- 3 - 4 ... " The music tilled the room. I couldn't believe how good the mustcians were. A. full big band. The only weak spot was the trombones. Only two tbone players. Not the requisite four for a full section.

The Qnly question left was, "Would they let me stay?"

It is considered a humane act to shoot a race horse in the head when it breaks its leg because the animal will never lead a "normal" life again, and we humans don't like to witness suffering.

Putting an animal in pain "out of its misery" is an age-old concept that has long been associated with human nature; reflecting sympathy, compassion, respect and a consideration for other living things.

Why then, do we not extend the same service towards our own human race?

A terminal illness can be even more crippling and devastating to a person than a fractured leg is to a race horse. At least people have the choice, the horse doesn't.

A terminally ill patient who wishes to die by their own hand has lost all hope of recovery. They are aware that their life has forever changed, and that waking up day after day is just prolonging their excruciating pain and anguish.

They would rather die peacefully, in their sleep, than endure suffering any longer.

Yet, we have a lingering respect for life that causes people to interfere with these people's dying wishes.

These people have lost control of their lives, the least we can do as a "humane" society is give them control of their deaths.

Inane lawsuits against doctors who practice euthanasia are acts by selfish family members and friends who don't want to let their loved ones go. They are thinking only of their grief, their mourning, and how they will suffer from the loss.

Euthanasia is a conscious deci~ion by the person who is sick. They have chosen to nave a medical professional assist and direct them in ending their life and their pain. The doctors aren't even the ones who administer the fatal dose of poison, they just rig-up a system where the patients can decide the exact moment they want to end their lives.

Forcing people to stay alive when they have given up is not what I consider humane treatment. Let these poor people put themselves out of their misery.

Who would believe that doctors, the very people who swear to "do no harm" when they take the Hippocratic Oath, could ever contribute to ending people's lives, with the law backing their actions?

In Oregon, physicians can, since the passage of Measure 16, a ballot initiative approved by voters in Oregon in 1994 (U.S. News and World Report, Sept. 1). This initiative only passed by a two percent margin, which trumpets a division between voters on this issue.

There are enough legal problems with Oregon's Measure 16 that it might be sent back to the voters, according to the U.S. News article.

Terminally ill patients can now end their lives providing they meet certain criteria.

For instance, they must be mentally competent with less than six months to live. That's more than disturbing; it's terrifying. How can psychiatrists determine the precise mental state of a dying person?What if a terminally ill patient, who wouldn't normally contemplate suicide, has a severe bout of depression, but manages to fool a psychiatrist with his "mental competency?"

How many doctors can accurately predict how many weeks or months a patient has left? Should terminally ill patients be able to refuse treatment, which is certainly their right, but then turn around and ask a doctor for help in permanently ending their pain?

Cutting short one's life because there might potentially be some suffering in their future, indicates a distressing lack of hope.

Obviously, we'll never be able to cure every single deadly illness tossed at us (at least not in the foreseeable future), but we can make immediate progress by alleviating the pain of the terminally ill.

Instead of expediently dealing with terminal illnesses by legalizing assisted suicide, doctors should focus on more productive solutions, such as offering better care for their patients. Living in pain or ending our lives by choice cannot be the only two options in our advanced society.

A woman's body; a woman's choice Heidi Fischle Contributing Writer

â&#x20AC;˘ Pro-lifers violate boundaries on campus Annica Gerber Opinion Editor

Being a journalist automatically makes me an advocator of freedom of speech and I feel lucky to live in a country where it is the law of the land. Having said this, I also want to state that I feel this privilege is often misused.

This has been the case here at Palomar in the last week due to pro-life protesters that have joined us on campus to exercise their freedom of speech.

We, as students, are here for a reasonto learn. In my opinion, this learning process does not include being bombarded with posters of dismembered, bloody children and pictures containing religious messages, as I am walking to class.

Neither of those demonstrations contribute anything to my educational experience. Especially, when the information that these pro-lifers are spreading is grossly inaccurate.

For instance, the posters that portray a dismembered child is not representative of the majority of abortions performed. The percent of abortions that are performed when the fetus is a fully developed child, (which is portrayed in the posters), meaning that the mother has passed the 24th week, is less than a half percent.

The majority of abortions in the United States take place in the first trimestet:, this means it occurs during the first three months of the pregnancy. During this time, the fetus is not a developed infant; it mainly consists of tissues and cells. It certainly cannot survive outside of the womb.

After I discovered these statistics it became very apparent to me that these protesters only use these images because of their shock value. They play on people's emotions to gain support for their cause.

This vicious cycle is perpetuated by the public's ignorance, when it comes to matters like abortion, because they will believe everything they see and hear. Many never even bother to research and find out the facts.

I do have to give the pro-lifers some credit, they are not stupid, they know exactly how to generate the reaction they are looking for. Not only do I find their tactics offensive, but the hypocrisy of their protesting strategies disgusts me. They come out and rally for life and accuse women who have abortions of being murderers, when in fact they themselves, (or at least the organization they represent), are guilty of killing.

There have been incidents where some of the participants in the pro-life movement have killed doctors who perform abortions. Isn't that rather self defeating when the cause they are fighting for is life?

If they believe so strongly in the right to life, even for a fetus that is not a fully developed person, don't the doctors that perform abortions have a right to life?

After all, they are human beings, "created

by God." I suppose one could argue that murder is murder anyway you look at it, but I find it much harder to justify killing a grown human being as opposed to aborting tissues and cells.

Using material because of its shock value may convert some people, but the true skeptics will want hard evidence. And furthermore, a little bit of class and some tact never hurt either.

Pro-choice, what does that really mean? It has been the bumper sticker declaration of opposition to Pro-life. When a person states that they are Pro choice they are in no way inferring that abortion is a good decision, that they are for it or even that they would choose to have one. Rather, they are stating that just as I have the right to give my opinion on this subject, every woman has the right to decide for herself how she feels about abortion. We were each granted these rights at birth, and when it comes down to it, even laws have no weight when it comes to what a person is going to do with their own life.

In Tibet they have what is called the Wheel of Life, it is essentially a mirror which reflects all of the different realms of existence on the planet. Among these is the realm of animals, or the instinctual realm, meaning those beings who do not make choices, but rather are at the mercy of their environment. We, however, reside in the realm of humans, or the realm of choices.

That is the essence of human existence. We have intellect and we have the ability to contemplate our place in the world.

Unfortunately, there are those among us who feel that there is only one answer for any given problem, thus making the assumption that all other views are wrong. This kind of judgment can never result in understanding or compassion. What is even more shocking to me is that there are women who refuse to even listen to the argument presented by the opposing side, but then still feel that it is their right to judge the women who exercised their freedom of choice.

Every woman knows that when she looks at the alternatives and decides to have an abortion,_ she is terminating the life of a future individual. Hopefully, she is educated and aware of the basic consequences of her decision. However, above and beyond what anyone can inform her of, she is the one who will in the end have to feel the emotions and live with the finality of her decision. After all, it was part of her body.

I strongly believe that all life should be respected and preserved whenever possible.

There are many cases where a woman simply sees no other option. The range of reasons behind these views is as vast as the range of circumstances that a woman may encounter sexually. The majority of women who have abortions are generally not in healthy, monogamous relationships. If that was the case, I'm sure the abortion rate would be far less than it is now. That however, is not reality. Each day in our culture girls and women are raped, some are on drugs and living on the street. Many of them could never deal with the responsibility of being pregnant, let alone giving birth to a healthy child.

As I was leaving school on Monday, I saw a woman protesting abortion using horribly graphic images to get her point across. The images were so graphic that I think the point was lost. I didn't get the sense that she had compassion for all of the lost lives, I felt like she was hating the ones already in existence.

Truthfully, I don ' t know what her point was.

For myself, I know that I will never have an abortion, that is my choice. However, I believe each woman has that right.

ROAD RAGE RUNS RAMPANT John DeCoursey Editor-in-Chief

I am your worst nightmare- the driver Mom warned you about. I have a lead foot the size of Montana and a temper the size of a Tic-Tac. One stupid move from another driver and I lose it.

I admit that my driving is insane, and my short temper the problem,_but "road rage" should not be solely attributed to drivers like me. It does not take a speed demon to cause highway havoc, although "it doesn't help prevent it, either.

Sunday drivers are just as much of a threat, usually because they're the ones setting the speed demons off.

But speed demons and Sunday drivers alike could probably drive in harmony if not for the real problem: stupid people.

If you're not going to attempt driving the speed limit, would it kill you to drive in the far right lane, conveniently designated, "The Slow Lane." There is nothing more aggravating than being separated from miles of open highway just because a driver in the passing lane is pacing himself with the other lanes.

It's a passing lane. Pass-ing. Sounds like pacing, I know, but let's try and distinguish the phonetic difference before hitting the road.

And here's another clue: Just because it's called "the fast lane" doesn ' t mean being in it will automatically launch you into a faster speed.

This one non-passing driver can reverse the order of an entire highway. Now every. one who wants to pass him has to get over to the far right where slow drivers are rightfully doing their thing.

Plus, everyone trying to merge onto the highway has to deal with a lane mixed with both speed demons and Sunday drivers.

Chaos breaks out and tempers flare in the right lane while the Mr. Magoo in the left lane enjoys looking at a median bush.

Likewise, if you're looking to break the sound barrier with a Geo, might I suggest staying in the far left lane?

The previous example makes this request impossible, but even when the left lane is properly regulated and I'm in the slow lane, there are drivers who come up on my butt so fast that I think China will hear the crash.

The last-minute swerving is appreciated very much, thank you, but it would be really cool if we kept that driving style in the proper lane.

And the stupid driver who sets me off the most, to the point where just thinking about it makes me gnash my teeth down to the

roots, are the angels who clearly see my effort to change lanes (blinker and all) and accelerate to block me.

What is that? Why are we turning a simple freeway drive into an end zone run at the Super Bowl?

And these drivers look upset when I let them know how grateful I am for their infectious act of kindness.

I don't want to drive like a bat out of hell, whatever that phrase means. I'd prefer to arrive at my destination in one piece.

But it seems that whenever I try and make the effort to drive like Mom, there's a roadway of lunatics driving like ... well, lunatics.

On other days, I'll encounter a driver who is driving sanely, but I've already encountered so many jerks that day that I'm out of my gourd.

So, how do we prevent our lives from amounting to road kill?

Maybe we should allow people to smoke wherever they want. Maybe we should remove the "hold" feature from every single phone. Maybe we should build cars mechanically incapable of performi ng our heinous acts for us.

Nah. Too can't-we-all-j ust-get-along-ish.

Maybe, for once, Los Angeli nos have the right idea: just shoot the other drivers.

12 OPINION

Telescope accused of 'copping-out' I'm writing in response to your staff editorial published in the Sept. 26 edition of The Telescope regarding car pools as a solution to the "parking problem" on campus. I object to the holier than thou attitude that the writer takes in the article.

Yes, I see that car pooling can help ease the pain in trying to discover an available parking spot. But car pooling is NOT as practical, nor as easy, as you make it seem.

First off, a great number of students that attend Palomar come here straight from work, or go to work right after their classes.

Relying upon another person to get you to and from work is completely absurd - you are essentially placing your profession into the hands of someone else.

If a student who does work is in charge of driving, it still may be impossible to car pool because your partner can slow you down. Secondly, it is difficult to find another person with a compatible school schedule. Sure . .. someone may be on campus the same day as you, but they have to drop Tommy off at school and Jenny at daycare.

This leaves someone with little time to worry about an extra body.

Finally, the way that your article was written gives me the impression that the entire Telescope staff is part of a car pool. I find this extremely hard to believe. I would like to know if you practice what you preach or do you all have your own set of "cop-outs?"

GALOP is 'crying wolf' says writer The article concerning "hate crimes" against lesbian and gay students on campus brought to mind the old fable of the little boy who cried wolf.

The little boy merely wanted attention and so he cried out wolf to get the attention of the villagers. GALOP's complaints appeared strangely similar.

An insecure person was tearing down and maligning their flyers, and they were not invited to a program that they would most likely not have announced at their meeting or attended.

To bring attention to themselves in the name of "visibility," they cried out "hate crime." GALOP should be treated like any other group, and things of this nature should not occur, but calling out "hate crime" is an insult to all who have experienced the real thing.

If the members of the group were being discriminated against in class, or being physically or verbally attacked because of their sexual orientation, then that would constitute a hate crime.

I .hav~ ~everal gay and lesbian friends and when asked if they have had problems with being discriminated against, none of them have had any proble'ms.

They have had instructors who disagreed and those who agreed with their opinions, but their grades were not affected either way. I also asked if they had ever been physically or verbally attacked and none of

them have .

They had occasionall y been called degrading names, but what minority group has not been the victim of ignorant people's comments? It is time we all grew up and started acting like adults. There are ignorant people at Palomar. Why do we need to give them credence and attention in an attempt to make a person's or group's opinion more visible?

More important though is what happened to the boy in the fable . The villagers stopped listening after awhi le and when he legitimately needed their help they didn't come.

-Michael D 'Alo Palomar Student

Don't judge the whole by a few In an unhappy campus conflict, two members of a pro-life group publicly displayed horrible pictures showing the cruel ravages of abortion on the bodies and lives of pre-born victims.

In so doing, the activists startled and offended unsuspecting students, including some who oppose abortion and others supportive of the abortion choice.

This seems to have been the unfortunate act of two individuals. Not all in the prolife movement would act in this manner.

As one committed to the protection of all innocent human life, I understand the upset this campus action caused and suggest that the horrors of any crime not be shoved in the faces of citizens without warning, or first obtaining agreement.

If anything, these misguided messengers mistakenly took the focus away from the deaths of innocent pre-born children.

Instead, viewers were left appalled by the presentation and focused their anger at the messengers, rather than at the horror of the message which occurs 1.5 million

Friday, Oct. 10. 1997 times each year.

That's a very bad public relations job by two people who claim to represent a positive pro-life message.

A gentler way to present the offensive reality of abortion is to base the info rmation upon the values of the viewer.

Everyone is not religious, and every religion is not the same.

The best pro-life message comes from logical argument and the biological sciences. But don't force people to look at evil if they will not choose to reject it.

They will become angered and attack.What causes some anti-abortion people to show these photos? Perhaps it is in frustration.

The supporters of the abortion choice have long deflected the reality and significance of pre-born human life.

This faction, likewise divisive in its approach to the issue, began the abortion debate by denying that the fetus is human life and claimed she/he is "merely a bunch of cells."

Real time sonograms showed that to be in error. Some wag once asked: "If it's not alive, why kill it?"

Today the abortion promoter's tactic is to prey on the American value of "choice."

Not the baby's choice, of course.

Somethi ng about consistency and offensive messages bothers me. At least once each year PBS presents footage depicti ng emaciated, naked dead men and women stacked like cordwood in front of an open mass grave into which they are plowed by a huge tractor.

I find this offensive.

Yet the message is: by viewing these World War II Holocaust horrors we will be repelled. And in our repulsion we will act to ensure that such acts are never performed again.

And yet, we are repelled, repulsed and offended by photos of dead pre-born babies whom some say are not really "persons."

Why, I wonder, are we convinced of evil in one horror and yet n"ot in another? This is worth thinking about with or without pictures.

STAFF EDITORIAL

Setting the record straight: We are not censors

"'

One of the challenges every newspaper must face is the ability to remain neutral and unbiased in the face of every story it reports. It's not a challenge readily met by all publications, as any connoisseur of some of the nation's biggest publications will attest to.

But when the staff of The Telescope received half a dozen cartons containing thousands of pro-life flyers last semester, that every day challenge became slightly more extraordinary.

Some staff members were concerned with how the stude nts and staff of Palomar would react to an insert that was less of an average advertisement and more of a political and moral platform.

The editors debated if the flyer should

be included in a future issue Qf The Telescope, running the risk of angering pro-choice groups for an act that could easily be perceived as being pro-life and therefore biased, or should the flyer be declined, no doubt reversing the argument, bringing anger from the pro-life camps.

The decision was put before this semester's editors, with all conceivable ramifications discussed and weighed.

The final vote was to include the insert, but only after advance copies had been submitted to every department on campus that might react strongly to the flyer. It was believed that by doing so a fair forum of pro and con would be created, thereby giving both sides ample opportunity to express themselves in responses to be pub-

lished in the issue that would carry the flyer.

However, the company that prints The Telescope each week said the dimensions of the 12-page flyer were beyond that which could be machine-folded and inserted in the normal printing operation.

Again the Editors of The Telescope discussed possible options. The only perceivable way the flyer could now be included would be the insertion of all copies by hand-an expensive, if not labor-intensive, operation.

The distributor was notified of the situation, and last Thursday arrangements were made for the flyers the following morning.

It was believed that the situation had been explained, and that there would be no prob-

lem with returning the flyer. But Friday's pick-up was just the beginning of a prolife protest that lasted well in to this past week.

The Telescope received word around noon that not only were students being bombarded by flyers at the Student Union, but the woman who had just picked up the flyers at the newspapers office was telling the students to blame Tht Telescope for what was happening.

Contrary to what she said, The Telescope was not acting as a censor. The flyers were going to be used, but the printers couldn' t support them so it had to be turned down. However, in an attempt to further their cause, the protesters found it necessary to bend, if not break, the truth.

Some students welcomly recieved the pro-life flyer (left).

Youngkin's van (above), parked near the Brubeck Theatre.

As classes began changing over, the crowd of students around the protest grew bigger.

Connie Youngkin (seated) questions Palomar student Rhiana Bruester on why she is opposed to the demonstration.

PROTEST: Anti-abortion demonstration spurs confrontations Continued from Page 1 flyers from The Telescope office at the north end of campus.

The flyers, titled "She's a Child, Not a Choice," had been sent to The Telescope as a paid advertisement insert, but the editors had concerns about the reaction it might create. The printers of the weekly paper informed the editors that the flyer could not be used because of its size.

Both Youngkin and her partner are associated with Pro-Life Amenca m Los Angeles which, along with Human Life Alliance of Minnesota, co-sponsored the printing of the 12-page "She's a Child, Not a Choice." The flyer contains articles, letters, pictures and statistics condem ning abortion .

Shortly after leaving the newspaper's building, they showed up outside the Student Union with the flyers and a large sign featuring a photo of an aborted fetus .

As noon approached and classes changed over, a growing number of students began to gather around the area in front of the Student Union. While the unidentified man supported the sign, Youngkin began to walk through the crowd, announcing to students why the two of them were there as she distributed the flyers.

"Your school paper says they couldn't fit these flyers in the paper because of their size," said Youngkin. "Well then this is just a game because this flyer is the shape of your paper anyway."

To illustrate the point, Youngkin showed some students how a folded version of the flyer · fit inside a folded copy of the newspaper.

"How dare The Telescope act as censors to the truth that needs to be put out," she said.

Carla Van Wagoner, last semester's advertising manager for The Telescope, disagrees with Youngkin on the condition in which they arrived.

"I opened the boxes when we first got them and not one of those _flyers were folded," she said.

MIXED REACTIONS

Although no clearance had been given for the protest and many students were caught off-guard by the graphic image, some, such as Trisha Hosce, were supportive of what they saw.

"I think it's great," Hosce said.

"I think people are having a lot of trouble with this because they' re actually seeing a pi cture of what aborti ons reall y do . It 's very graphic, but it's portraying the truth we don' t know about."

Palomar student Rachel Phelps was 12 years old when her parents were arrested with Youngkin for blocking an abortion clinic with members of Operation Rescue.

"I was taken from my parents for a while because the government thought that my parents were unfit to raise me," said Phelps.

"But what Connie is doing is informative. If she were holding up a picture of the holocaust and informing people about that, people would have no problem. I've seen it happen before," she said.

Others, however, found the display offensive.

"This is bullshit! I disagree with abortion, but these people make me sick," said Shelly Leonard, criminal psychology. "They have no right coming out here showing this mutilated baby while people are trying to eat their lunch. These guys are just as bad as the paparazzi."

Natalie Abadir tried to explain

the reason for her disapproval to Brock ..

"I understand what you're trying to accomplish here. I'm against abortion, too, but I think you could have done it in an educational manner. You could have posted flyers saying that there would be ·a forum about this at a certain time and place. I didn't know there was going to be a huge picture of a dead baby here today.

Shou ldn't you have at least warned us? I think so," Abadir said.

"We're exposi ng evil. I've been doing it for 25 years," said Brock.

"But look at the way you're doing it. What if I have a weak stomach and I walk by and throw up because of your poster?" said Abadir.

"I would be thankful that you were so concerned thinking about a child murdered ," Brock answered.

VIOLATION OF PALOMAR POLICIES

The steps that should have been taken by Youngkin and Brock before they came on campus were to either fill out a Request Facility Use or a Vendor Contract form, according to Jim Bowen, director of student activities.

The first option has an average turn around time of four days, while the Vendor Contract takes about about one week.

"We tried to get them to agree with Palomar's policy, but they made it pretty clear that they were not going to cooperate. And they even videotaped themselves as they refused us," Bowen said.

Campus Patrol began monitoring the demonstration shortly after the protesting pair set up their sign outside the Student Union .

Campus Patrol Officer Torres discusses the situation with Connie Youngkin (seated) while Ronald Brock videotapes the exchange.

"I'm here in case things get out of hand," said Campus Patrol Officer Donald Torres. "These protesters are putting themsel ves in a position that is quite precarious for themselves and their message, but it's what they want.

They want a confrontation and now the students are providing them with one."

When Officer Torres asked the students if they were being disturbed or bothered by the protest, a large majority of the students replied, "Yes." Youngkin continued unphased.

"Even if a woman is raped, that has nothing to do with the baby.

This is the holocaust, just like what the Germans did to the Jews.

The only difference is that it's happening right here in our face and you don't want to see it," she said. "Hell, · we ' re gonna come back on campus next week and do it all over again."

DEFENDING THE CAUSE

John Finn, the director of ProLife America in Los Angeles, says that he supports Youngkin and the

effort she is making on Palomar's campus.

"Our medi a has been silent for 25 years. Connie's doing the job reporters won't do, and that's to spread the truth about abortion,' ~ Finn said.

Youngkin returned to the campus on Oct. 6 and 7 with both her sign and her van , which is covered in similar anti-abortions pictures and statements.

On both of those days , the protesters kept to the periphery of the school by the parking lots and the corner of Comet Circle and Mi ssion Road .

Sean Aulds, the student accosted by Brock, said he feels that what the protesters hoped to get across was lost in the commotion they caused, and any return visits would only continue to defeat their own purpose.

"They invaded our space, and I believe that that's totally wrong," said Aulds. "I believe in the message, but the means that they use are unfavorable to say the least."

Telescope wins 19 awards at CSU Fullerton Jessica Gleason Copy Editor

Continuing in their four-year winning streak, The Telescope staff brought home a General Excellence award from the Oct.4 Journalism Association of Community College's regional conference. That resignation ranks them among the top five community college newspapers in Southern California.

The competition took place at the 25th annual Southern Section Conference of the JACC, held at Cal State Fullerton last weekend.

The Telescope won 19 awards, including a second place for front page design and third place for an in-depth news story based on events leading to the dismissal of Professor Michael King in spring 1997.

"The General Excellence award is about maintaining high standards in all aspects of journalism," said Suzette Clark,one of last semester's editor-in-chiefs of The Telescope. "But most importantly, it is about teamwork and is a reflection of what students working together can accomplish when motivated and encouraged by ourselves, our teachers and our peers."

The awards are based on mail-in entries and on-the-spot competitions where staff members cover an event and are given one hour to generate an entry, these entries are then judged by professional journalists.

In addition to competitions, numerous workshops were held throughout the day.

Los Angeles Police Department Chief Bernard Parks addressed participants, and took questions afterwards. Parks' speech and subsequent "press conference" was used as the basis for the news writing, news photography, editorial writing and editorial cartoon competitions.

Seminars held included topics ranging

ASG visits student center at MiraCosta Melody Cruz Staff Writer

Four Palomar student government senators recently toured MiraCosta College's more modern student center to gather ideas for a proposal to build a similar center at Palomar.

This trip was taken so the Associated Student Government could develop a student survey directed to promote a new Palomar student center to replace the existing Student Union.

While the ASG has not yet decided on a date to pass out a survey to see if students want a new student center, they have formed a student center committee where the pros and cons of the issue will be discussed.

Katrina Baughman, ASG senator, spoke in length about the features at MiraCosta's center in Oceanside. She also mentioned she would. like to see Palomar undergo a similar transformation.

"We want a building with air conditioning and bathrooms inside with hot water, like MiraCosta. We also want to get fast food chains inside the cafeteria," Baughman said.

The construction for MiraCosta's student center took roughly a year to complete and

the building looks very modernized, according to Baughman.

To fund the construction of a new student center, the ASG must propose a fee which would first require student approval through a campus election.

In order to get the resolution to pass, the ASG needs to collect 2,000 votes or 20 percent approved from the students who attend Palomar's San Marcos campus exclusively.

In past years, Palomar's ASG has made several attempts to get enough student votes, but have failed in their efforts. In 1990, only 600 students voted to raise the money to fund the proposal.

If approved, students would be charged an additional $1 per unit each semester, with a maximum of $10 per academic year.

This option is available as a result of a California state senate bill passed in the late 1980s.

In an article in the Feb. 28, 1992 issue of The Telescope, Jim Bowen, current director of student activities, discussed the fee.

"The reason (the fee) passed so successfully at Cuyamaca College and MiraCosta was that they were living out of trailers," Bowen said.

When the fee passed in 1988 by the MiraCosta students, their student center was ready for business by 1990.

Men's water polo team eyes playoffs Richardson Miron Staff Writer

The men's water polo team is on the right track so far this season in their quest for the playoffs.

According to coach Jem McAdams' agenda at the beginning of the season , the goal was for his team to qualify for the Southern California Championships.

So far they have kept their head above water as they shoot for this goal.

"We're hanging in there," said McAdams, in hi.s fifth year as head coach. "Right now we have two wins and one loss in conference. So now we have an opportunity to make the playoffs and that was our goal."

The Comets have been led this season by the excellent play of sophomore goalie Jason Olofson. The team depends on Olofson .to provide leadership, since he is the only returning player on a young team that is playing through the Pacific Coast Conference for the first time . .

Coach McAdam has also been pleased with the performance of David Acee, who is vital to the team at his driver position.

"He played outstanding in our last game," the coach said of the Palomar newcomer, who scored the game winning goal with 58 seconds remaining against Cypress College last

Women's volleyball act:ion

Wednesday.

Last season the Comets finished with a disappointing record of 11 wins and 18 losses, not reaching the playoffs. So it is easy to see why the coach is so optimistic with a team that is hungry, and still alive at this point in the regular season.

"Right now we are still in the hunt of meeting our season objective," Coach McAdams said, "we're a really young team and we just have to keep improving every week."

The coach hopes to see some improvement in the team's next game against San Diego Mesa this week and against Riverside Wednesday the 15th.

A Lady Comet spikes the ball in one of their games during the San Diego Mesa Tournament last Friday and Saturday.The women's team had another game this week against Cuyamaca on Wednesday.

They look forward to a Bye this Friday the 10th before playing Grossmont on the 15th.

Mike Kurt (left) launches a shot towards the goat as goalkeeper James Willsie defends. The Comets soccer team is posting a record of 8-1 this season and is preparing for league play that starts this Friday against San Diego City and Mesa colleges.

With confidence levels soaring as high as that black and white ball, the Palomar men's soccer team is ready to win.

"The season is going very well for us, this team just keeps on surprising me," said Coach Carlos Hernandez.

Hernandez explained that the team works very hard in practice and they really believe in themselves, something that was especially a concern for him with a team made up of so many new players. Hernandez has found that the team has a high level of maturity and dedication to the game, which has helped the team achieved its current record of 8-1.

The game the Comets lost was to an Orange Coast team Hernandez feels could make the

state finals , but he isn't too concerned about the setback.

"We were in the game with them, they just caught us off guard a little bit," Hernandez said, adding that in their last game his Comets beat number one ranked Santa Barbara, a team they lost to in the state _championships last season.

"It (the win) gave us a lot of confidence that we could play with the ' big boys'," Hernandez said. Playing with the "big boys" caused star player Alex Campos to be out of a few games ·due to an injury he sustained during a game.

The loss of Campos was a concern to the team, but now that he has returned, the confidence level has risen.

"I feel great," Campos said.

"We're looking sharp, I think we'll take the title."

Hernandez agrees with his star player, saying that the team has improved every year and the ultimate goal this year would be to win the state finals. In his fourth year coaching the team, Hernandez says his main goal is to get them to win the finals, and he believes it can happen.

"If the guys keep focusing, I think we can go all the way and win the championships," Hernandez said.

The men's soccer team opens the league on Friday against San Diego City and Mesa colleges, an important game that can either send them on their way or set them back a bit, though a loss would not eliminate them completely. Hernandez, however, isn't worried.

"I feel confident that we'll do well," he said.
