Library removes its clamp on cyberspace Mimi Bowles Feature Editor
Daniel Kwan Staff Writer
The Palomar College library recently removed filtering software to block certain Internet sites following a complaint about censorship. Kevin Hatton, a Palomar Cognitive Science major, was one student who made his concerns about the program known . Hatton called the use of the filtering program a "violation of free speech." The software was designed to filter out sites pertaining to pornography, gambling, chat rooms and video games. Hatton became aware of the software's existence after a sociology class discussion about Internet censorship. He then went to Mark Vemoy, Faculty Senate president, and library manager Katherine Gannet to get the device removed based on the principle of protecting free speech. SEE

As the semester comes closer to an end, more and more students are going online at the library's computer lab. The library has recently removed filters which previously restricted access to Internet sites that were considered obscene.
Awareness day for disabilities Brian Samaniego Campus Beat Editor
The Undefeated Club hosted its third annual "Disability Awareness Days" on Nov. 5 and 6 in the Student Union. "The purpose of this event was to educate students about why not to pity the handicapped, and to make students more aware of disabilities," said Jason Terry, undefeated club representative. Representatives from the National Federation of the Blind, California Council for the Blind and Canine Companions attended to answer students' questions and to hand out pamphlets and other items such as braille cards and vision loss simulators. There were copies of books and games written in braille and audio textbooks used at Palomar for the blind. The display fbcused mainly on blindness, learning disabilities, deafness and physical disabilities. Students were able to be blind-
folded and escorted around the campus with the aid of a cane as a simulation of blindness. "My respect for the blind grew because of the fact that life was harder for me when I couldn't see, I also had to rely on my other senses," recalls student participant Natalie Abadir, liberal arts student. Students were also able to use wheelchairs at the event to simulate physical disabilities. Guidedogs for the blind were also at the event to demonstrate their skills as working dogs. Literature about how the dogs are used in the everyday life of a blind person was also available. Literature from the National Federation of the Blind explained eye conditions and causes of blindness. Representatives from the organizations emphasized how to treat people with disabilities courteously without making them feel incompetent.

Brubeck's new lighting shines into the '90s ·• Theater preps for state-of-theart lighting Liz Bennett Staff Writer
The spotlight is on the Howard Brubeck Theatre. The theater is receiving a new lighting system that will cost nearly $90,000. During the first two weeks in January, the Howard Brubeck Theatre will receive a brand new light board that will control all the dimmer switches in the theater. San Diego Stage and Lighting Supply, Inc. will install 240 new dimmers. As of now there are currently 63 dimmers that control the lighting in the theater. "It's a state-of-the-art system with remote capabilities," said Ben Echeverria, college counsel for contracts and special projects. In addition to the new dimmers, the theater will also receive a designer remote that can be set up in the auditorium. This allows access for handicapped technicians because currently all the controls are upstairs. "We would prefer to design lights from the floor," said James Cooper, theater technician/ lighting designer. Cooper added that it is easier to design the lights from the floor because it is often hard to know how the shadows and lights will react together on the floor level when the controls are upstairs. "We will have a better lighting

system than the Escondido Center for the Arts, better than or just as good as SDSU, the Old Globe, and much better than Mira Costa," said Pat Larmer, manager of theater operations. "Our efforts are to replace the old outdated equipment, so that we can start training our students in the lighting they'll see in the real world," added Larmer. The funds for the $88,372.50 lighting system came from a 1996-1997 state scheduled maintenance program that provides
money to community colleges for repairs and upgrades. Palomar paid $38,000 for energy conserving lamps. "We apply to the state for any problems on campus that need to be upgraded," said Facilities Director Mike Ellis. Last June, the theater received new lighting instruments that reduce the amount of energy required to run the lighting system. San Diego Gas and Electric conducted an energy audit and determined how much heat the old
system was generating. Each new light fixture costs $225. "It was based on the fact that our old lighting instruments used 1,000 watt bulbs and the new energy conserving bulbs only use 575 watts. They still put out more light," said Larmer. SDG&E estimated that the new lamps would cost less and use less energy with the new bulbs. Within three years, the new lamps should pay for themselves. "The new fixtures are much more efficient and the heat is
reduced almost by half. Overall by making the change, SDG&E estimated we will save $12.117 each year," said Ellis. "What we have done over the past 15 years is the money we have saved in energy conservation, we have put in a special account for future projects, and this is where the money for this project came from. Whatever facilities can do to reduce the operational cost, then that money is available for district uses," said Ellis.

INTERNET: Filter program removed Continued from Page 1 Judy Cater, librarian and chair of the Library Technology Department, disputes this claim, saying that the filters were put in not as a censoring tool, but rather as a method of managing the library computer lab. "There were problems last spring with chat groups where people would have a hard time getting off their computers within their one hour time limit," Cater said. "We try to make sure computers are accessible to as many students as possible. There are not enough computers since the lab is also used for word processing and tutorials, as well as for Internet use and research." Cater also adds that the solution was not intended as a permanent one, and that the library was well aware of the problems that Internet filtering devices have. "The filtering is not perfect. Some sites still get through, but even when we had complaints, we fixed them," Cater said. Hatton said he believes the library was in violation of first amendment rights, even though they did not intend to act as censors. "The problem with the filtering software is that it's

based on blocking sites with . keywords, so they could be blocking sites that really are not obscene-and blocking speech they haven't seen yet." However, Cater also said that even while the filtering devices were in place, there were computers without the devices on them that students could use. "By filtering even some computers, that's still sending the wrong message. All free speech on the Internet is legal and should not be blocked," Hatton said . When the filtering software was still in place, any student who was blocked would automatically receive a prompt to be able to e-mail Cater with any complaints about the system. Cater said she only received two e-mail responses, one from a student trying to access health information and another student trying to access a Dungeons and Dragons-type site. "The Internet is a tool like an encyclopedia or dictionary. Most of our students can have their needs met using the available tools, but the problem is that anything can be abused, and different people object to different things. It's not a situation with an easy solution," Cater said.

OPINION SIDUU PALOMAR ADOPT PLus~AND~MINUB IRIDIIO! • 'Why fix it if it isn't broken?'
• It will better judge student's ahilities Melody Cruz
Richardson Miron
Staff Writer
Staff Writer
Is it fair to spend an extra 50 or 100 extra hours per semester studying, and then not get rewarded for it? Stay home on weekends, don't hang out with friends, give up having fun, in the end, you'll be no better off than the person who spends that time less productively. This month the California Community College Board of Governors will make a decision that could allow community colleges to implement the plus/minus grading system. If the grading system is changed, universities will be able to distinguish between the occasional slackers and the students who really deserve a high grade. No more can students sleep past the system and make believe that they work just as hard as others. People will be placed into categories that will reflect their work and their drive, which is the fairer way to organize the student body and the college system. This isn't high school, we're here because we choose to be. So why should students be placed into one broad category instead of placing them into one that could reflect their work ethic? This new system will reflect this ethic. It's frustrating for someone who works endlessly to get a good grade to witness someone who's there once a week get rewarded in the same way. Why should they .bother? We should all just miss class and not do our homework; it won't make a difference. In addition, there is always that unfortunate student who was on the brink of another grade but couldn't receive it because a point or two landed them in another grade range. If that student was working under the plus/minus system the grade might become an 'A-' instead of a 'B+.' This would make grading fairer and more accurate. Rather than judging aiJ students by one grading scale which leaves teachers no room to place individuals into a group that would fit their specific academic achievements. Incentive to work hard towards the end of the semester seems lost to most college students but if the new system is implemented we won't have any other choice.
The new grading system that Palomar is considering adopting makes no sense, because it will ultimately hurt more students than it will help. Any proposition that has a minute chance of hurting a student's progress should be thrown out the window. Because this is what the new and not very improved plus-or-minus system will do. It will punish the students who need the benefit of the doubt, and that doesn't sound like a very advantageous proposal for the majority of students. It's like a crap-shoot, it can help a student one semester and then completely ruin the same student's grade point average the following semester. If I was offered a chance to feast one year knowing that I would have to starve the next, I would not accept the option. And that is what the plus-orminus grading system offers, a win-lose situation. Call me a coward, but when it comes to my grades I don't want to have any extra help in lowering my grade point average. The opposition will argue that this will clarify the higher achieving students from the lower. Associated student government President John Weber said it best in an article in the Oct. 24 issue of The Telescope, "the way that this system is set up, it seems that C students have nothing to gain and that A students have everything to lose." Another problem with the plus-or-minus grading system is that not all schools will be following the same policy. It is not fair to put Palomar students in a tougher situation than students at other schools. Why should Palomar intentionally make the schooling process more difficult for their student body? For example, say a student from another school has an 80 percent, and a Palomar student has an 81 percent. It will say B- on the Palomar student's report card, as opposed to just a B on the other student's report card. This will cause a disparity between grade point averages. Palomar needs to leave their current grading system alone. Why fix it, if it isn't broken?

PETE'S POINT
U.S. relations with China important Pete Schrup Stuff Writer
China is a bad-news, good-news type of place. Some aspects are progressive and some are regressive. The recent surfeit of movies about China and the recent U.S . visit by its leader have brought a focus on this amazing country. Everything that happens there is on a grand scale like The Great Wall. Few westerners probably even know that at the same time of the American civil war there was also an uprising in China. Like the several hundred thousand killed in the United States in the 1860's, there were some twenty million killed in China. China is one of the most populated countries on earth. That makes it a very important country, not only in terms of humanity but also as an economic force. I think there is little doubt that China will become the number one economic superpower in the next century. China is also one of the oldest and most sophisticated societies on the entire planet. Chinese civilization predates Mediterranean Civilization. It is currently in the strange twilight of being an old fashioned communist government with a burgeoning modern enterprise economy. However, China has been committing ethnic cleansing in Tibet for years. Actually China under Mao Tse Tung committed wholesale murder for decades; giving Mao the dubious title of the all time mass murderer in this century, if not in history. He out did Hitler and Stalin combined. Yet communism has done some good things in China, mainly helping to eliminate the ancient mindset of class separation. The whole notion of innately inferior/superior pervades the East in ways that western democratic impulses cannot comprehend. It goes way beyond cheap labor, like slavery, but to the very soul of some of those societies. It is part of their religion and culture. For those of us who enjoy western freedom, the elimination of such inequality is a good thing. It helps promote the spread of democratic thinking and its principles of equality. Hence, there is less of chance for conflict, even with the monotonous animosity of the Reds toward the West. China also has a rather dreary humans rights record. One only has to mention the massacre at Tiananmen Square to bring that into focus. (America's lack of political response was probably even more disgraceful). Mistreatment is nothing new there; slavery and concubines have been a staple in the East for thousands of years. Probably the most bizarre and troubling practice in China is the selling of human organs from executed criminals. True, it's preventing waste anr1 most people should volunteer their innards. One only has to imagine who would be killed to prolong the life of one of their revered leaders. Criminal or no criminal if you had the only organ you would be "volunteered." However, as reprehensible as all these things may be, it is important to keep China away from its traditional isolation and xenophobia. The Chinese have a tremendous potential for contribution to the planet. So even though it is frustrating, it is important to maintain relations while trying to pull China out of the dark ages.
Staff Editorial
Media kept in business by public Whether one speaks of paparazzi, meddling reporters or harsh critics, the term press has long carried a negative connotation. Yet somehow there exists a strange paradox between the attaining of knowledge and the gathering of information. From the public perspective, news consists of the pain and misery of others and those that chase after that pain are just as bad as the ones that caused it. At the same time those that read the paper every morning and watch the news every night are considered intelligent and well informed about what's going on in the world. The public seems to over look the fact that it is journalists and reporters that
provide the articles that are considered so valuable and intellectually stimulating. Reporters are called vultures or ambulance chasers and told to mind their own business, then later criticized for not telling the whole story. Society establishes a position for us to fill and then criticizes us for performing the duty in the only way possible. No one will deny the existence of reporters who will stoop to less than professional levels. However, members of the press who take the essence of their position to heart and operate on a higher ethical standard must still investigate a scene, gather information and interview victims in order to report the whole truth. Yet the good and ~ bad are constantly lumped together into one nasty category of
social predators. Reporters exist for one purpose, to provide the public with information about the community and the world around them. People want to know the facts but don't want to do the foot work, so by buying a paper they pay reporters to tell them what is happening out there. Still thertt is such. a thing as a tactful reporter and one should not jump to ethical conclusions about a reporter's character. They search for facts at the most logical time, as soon as possible to the time of the incident, and look to confirm the facts through the most logiCal people, those directly involved. The timing may be inopportune but the publiQ wants to know and it wants to know now.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Shame on Palomar for its intolerance Having read the article on the Promise Keeper's rally, in the Oct. 24 issue of The Telescope , and Associate Professor Zacharias' letter to the editor in the Oct. 31 issue of the same newspaper, I feel compelled to register my disgust at the sanctimonious, "holier-than-thou" statements of the Promise Keeper Manifesto, and Associate Professor Zacharias' support for this organization. The document in question is a vitriolic, self-righteous diatribe by a group of people with a tlawed understanding of the world and the many diverse ethnic, religious and social groups who populate it. Associate Professor Zacharias wrote, "She [Annica Gerber] worries that Promise
Keepers believe homosexuality is a sin. But so do other Christian groups as well as many non-Christian." This is the defense of the indefensible by Associate Professor Zacharias. Has he been reading some fundamentalist literature? In this age of great racial and social unrest it is chilling to know that this point of view is promoted in any center of higher learning, let alone the classrooms of Palomar College. The third mandate of the Promise Keepers "Commandments" reads straight out of the history books- "3. A Promise Keeper is committed to practicing spiritual, moral, ethical and sexual purity." Remember what happened in Germany when Hitler came to power? At first his ethnosocial "ravings" were similarly shrouded in the language of suppressed intolerance, later his creed became a ranting diatribe against not just the Jews,
but the handicapped, the old, the infirm, those without the strength to raise their voice in protest. This declaration by the Promise Keepers seeks only to promulgate the bigotry and suspicion with which anyone living an alternative lifestyle is viewed in t~is community. What if this group was to substitute the words, handicapped, or black, instead of homosexual? How many small steps away are they from their own form of ethnic cleansing? It is a sad day when a supposedly educated "educator" lends his voice to the side of the powerful in an attempt to deny those of a different persuasion their right to be. Shame on Associate Professor Zacharias for his lack of understanding and shame on Palomar College for harboring the voice of intolerance from within the faculty.

Gilson, who has been at Palomar for 25 years and began chairing the department this semester, faces the challenge of prepping the PSO for the AII-Tchaikovsky concert to be performed this Sunday at the California Center for the Arts 1n Escondido. The concert will feature pianist Susan Smith in the First Piano Concerto and will also showcase the Fourth Symphony. In addition to this, Gilson is also finalizing plans for the 1998 North County Civic Youth Orchestra Tour of Europe, its most extensive tour to date, he said. Gilson plans to take his orchestra to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia on the 17-day tour. However, ensconced in preparations, paperwork, and rehearsals, Gilson is still doing what he loves mostmusic. "I don't really remember when I decided to get involved in music, but I remember that in sixth grade I was in band and that's probably when the first serious sparks got started," Gilson said, adding that he played the piano before joining the band as a clarinetist/saxophonist, and that his father had played the trumpet when he was younger. Gilson recalls that first ensemble experience at Los Angeles's John Burroughs Junior High especially because of his conductor, Eileen Wingard . Wingard, he
explained, is the older sister of worldfamous violinist Zena Schiff, and later went on to become a professional violinist with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra and the San Diego Opera Orchestra before retiring recently. Moving on from junior high, Gilson continued his musical aspirations at the high school level. "At that time, in virtually all of the schools in Southern California, at least the schools in the Los Angeles City school system, the prestige group to be in was the orchestra, not the band ," he said. He was in every ensemble group he could be in during his high school years, but it was the audition-only orchestra that perhaps best fostered his musical aspirations, he explained. "It was sort of the glory years in L.A., so to speak - there were a whole lot of 'to become' famous musicians that I was friends with," Gilson said. Music, however, was still not a career goal for the young Gilson, who wanted instead to be a doctor. After enrolling in a community college, he later joined the Army for three years during the Vietnam War. It was while he was in the Army that he realized his true passion was music . Once released from military duty, Gil son finished his undergraduate studies at Cal State University Los Angeles and graduated with honors. A professor recommended that he look into three schools - the Juilliard School of Music, the Eastman School of Music and the Indiana School of Music, the three best music schools in the country, he said. His final decision was Indiana University, where he graduated in two years with a Master's degree with distinction . From there, he moved back to
California and applied for various jobs, eventually ending up at Palomar after being chosen from 120 to 130 potential candidates. And it has been at Palomar that Gilson has continued to make his mark. Though he is not actively playing an instrument himself he has found a niche in conducting, which fits with his musical desire. Gilson currently is in charge of both PSO, since 1974, and NCCYO, which he co-founded in 1986. "I don't like music- it's a necessity of life. It's not a question of like and it's more than love," he said. "It's an intense need, desire, passion - for me, it's equal with breathing and eating." Gilson believes that this intense bond with music is the same for all professional musicians, and it's not something that can be learned. "You can learn the skills but I don't think you learn the passion," Gilson said. "The ability can be developed, cultivated -but it's all connected, it 's part of what makes us individuals. I think I would have been a musician even if I had become a doctor." That passion for music canies over into his conducting. "All the defenses are down- when I'm on the podium, the back of my suit could probably fall down and I don't think I would notice it," Gilson said. That experience is something that he tries to bring to his orchestral students. "Mr. Gilson is so inspiring to me," said concertmistress Chrystal Smothers. "He makes me want to do my best by his positive attitude and use of humor." The conductor tells jokes and stories to his orchestras regarding the music and has taken his orchestras around the world. He took NCCYO on its first internation-

al tour to Austria and Switzerland in 1993, and then took it to Sydney, Australia in 1996, where it competed 1n the International Music Festival of Sydney and won second place, quite an honor for an orchestra that ranges in age from II to 22. Gilson's main goal, however, is to teach and inspire his students and musicians. "Trust is the most important thing a conductor can instill in a musician. I'm not just waving a stick, they must believe in what I'm asking them to do and trust me to show them what to do. If I as a conductor have helped you to get to the point where you are over the fear and want to play than you don ' t need me anymore. "Trust for me is a very important word . It's my job to get them to trust themselves because you won't always fail, you frequently will win," he said.

When Boehm Gallery Director Harry Bliss came to Palomar he never would have imagined this was where he would stay. That was over 30 years ago. As an accomplished artist in many different mediums, including sculpture, painting, printmaking, wildlife illustration and even some house building, Bliss has made his mark at Palomar. He has recently designed a new sculpture outside the gallery in honor of an art student who was killed a few years ago in an auto accident. The student, Chris Johnson, was in teacher Doug Rant's art class, and it was Rant who asked that an artistic memorial be created in honor of Johnson. "Doug came to me and asked if I could do something, so I designed it in honor of Chris Johnson," Bliss said. Johnson's mother donated the money for the memorial fund several years prior but nothing had been done with it until the new scuplture was created. The sculpture, entitled "Breakaway," is made out of stainless steel to help it last longer. The piece hangs by the entrance to the gallery, Bliss said. The sculpture is backlighted to help it be seen at night. Bliss explained that he designed the sculpture and Palomar professor AI Ventura did the actual cutting. The inspiration for the sculpture came from Bliss's own teaching experience. "The idea was something flat with a light behind it but it couldn't be too extensive due to finances," Bliss said. "It commemorates someone who's passed away and is ascending to a higher realm." Bliss intends to add a copper plated plaque to the sculpture with the Johnson's name as well. Building memorial sculptures is one of the many ways Bliss has changed the face of Palomar over the years. After a 20-year hiatus, Bliss returned to the gallery two years ago and has done a lot of work since he arrived. His first main project was remodeling the gallery entrance. "People were always saying 'where's the gallery?' so hopefully this (design) will be more inviting," Bliss said. These renovations included repainting the Gallery, removing some trees that blocked the entrance, adding a bench and some sculptures to the front of the gallery and adding a sign to help the gallery be more visible. In addition, Bliss designed the back of the gallery which has become a music patio/cafe for students named The Pavilion. He is still working on this project, and also wants to renovate the music courtyard. "The music courtyard is the major project - we're putting up awnings over The Pavilion and planters and a fountain in the

middle," Bliss said. "I'm trying to make it a place that people want to come to and study. It's a neglected area, they built it and left it unadorned." Bliss said he has done extensive traveling in Europe and Mexico and would like to have the music courtyard resemble some of the ones he's seen. "I've seen these nice little courtyards with fountains that are nice to sit in- it's like an outdoor living room," Bliss said, explaining that the money for these renovations has come from various sources, including the ASG, the Art Department, Patrons of Palomar, PepsiCo, and the Music Department. Bliss has also made his presence known in more visible ways, though not necessarily those that Palomar students are aware of - he designed both the Clock Tower and the front of the Arboretum. He has not, however, forgotten about his dedication to his own personal works. "I'm still an artist - I've taken a lot of my energy and put it into the gallery. It's like another job," Bliss said. "I've expended a lot of time. I like Palomar. It's been good to me. This is kind of a repayment."

The Magic of
Palomar brings the Brothers Grimm fairy tale to life at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido Carla Van Wagoner Entertainment Editor
Performance Schedule Nov. 20, 21 and 22 at 7 pm. Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. Tickets-$9, $7 and $5 Tickets are available at the Palomar College Box Office (760) 744-1150, ext. 2453 or California Center for the Arts, Escondido (7 60) 738-4100 (800) 988-4253
heater patrons will discover something new about the classic fairy tale "White as Snow, Red as Blood; The Story of Snow White," when it opens Nov. 20 at the Center for the Arts, Escondido. The Brothers Grimm tale of a young maiden, an evil queen and dwarf do-gooders has a new and unique twist on it this time. "It's very different from the Disney version," said the show's director, Palomar Theater instructor Michael Mufson while sitting at Palomar's new cafe, The Pavilion. "Unlike Disney where you can have fairy tales can come true and it's all good and euphoric, the real story of Snow White is not that simple. One of my goals in the annual family theater event is to really get something that can really work across the board for all ages. It's a familiar story and the kids will know the story and that will make it more accessible to them. She (the author, V. Glasgow Koste) has told the story is very true to the way the Grimm Brothers told the story. Yet the playwright has a very interesting and, for me, a very exciting approach to telling that story in her own way." In between sips of his Frappuccino and bites of popcorn he continued. "It has more depth. It's darker. It has more substance in terms of the characters have meat to them, they're not as flat. It takes some issues that speak to contemporary culture that have to do with vanity for example. The whole play is centered around vanity." It is not Disney version as the audience will find out when they read the program. The typical Doc, Sneezy, Dopey and gang are not even in the building. There are five elemental characters and three spiritual characters that according to Mufson help and heal Snow White when certain events happen in her life. They are dwarves named Airun, Earthun, Kindred, Oshun Goodun, Fire-ur and Oldun. Playing the part of Oldun is Laura Ushijima. Her character imparts wisdom and experience to Snow White and the rest of her adopted family. "I love to do characters that are older," said 19-year-old Ushijima who jokes about being the second youngest cast member. Cast members find elements of their characters in their everyday existence. Ushijima admits that if she had to have an Oldun in her life, it would be her mother. A story is not good story without a great villain and her name is Queen Evilun played by Katherine Yeagley. "The character pf the evil queen is just deliciously evil," said Mufson holding back his own slightly sinister smile. Queen Evilun, as playwright Koste has written her, is played by two actors. Mufson explained that one actor will play the exterior part of the queen, her vain side, and another actor will play the embodiment of her evil, a character called Herself. Herself is portrayed by Susan Kaye. So what is the difference between this queen and the animated version? "The thing that distinguishes her is that her vanity makes her very vulnerable and when she's not under the influence of the evil that is inside of her, she's really quite weak," said Mufson. "The Story of Snow White" seems to have a little bit of everything going for it. There is something old, something new, something wise and something true- a truly fun tale to tell that kids of all ages will love.

'The Man': A new situation for an old character Carla Van Wagoner ETllertainment Editor
"The Man Who Knew Too Little" is a soft-spoken comedy that doesn't have Oscar winning performances, flashy special effects or the best storyline but it will be worth a look just for kicks and a few laughs. Apparently, screen writers think moviegoers will enjoy watching another mediocre plot unfold on the screen, a Ia "The Game," which starred Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. Well, this time they may be right. In "The Game," one brother gave another a birthday gift. The chance to perform in a play-sort of. In "The Game," Douglas was in a life or death situation and he didn ' t know it was all a set up.While in "The Man Who Knew Too Little," Wallace Ritchie, played by comedian Bill Murray, thinks that the situations he is in are all fake and so he plays along. Ritchie thinks he is a spy in "The Theater of Life" production. It is a live-action, improvised play which was the gift from his
brother. But here comes the twist he really is in a life or death situation and bungles his way through it never realizing his true plight. Ritchie dreamed of becoming an actor while in high school but blacked out on opening night of the school play and never achieves his goal of taking center stage. Becoming part of a live-action theater performance is just the thing this Blockbuster video clerk from Iowa needed to spice up his life. Ritchie is the typical dim-witted character audiences have come to expect from Murray. He's lovable, impressionable and best of all, he's a goof. This is definitely not an acting stretch for Murray. Perhaps that is why he comes across so well in this film. We're comfortable seeing him perform this way. It would be nice to see Murray do some real acting someday. There has got to be some talent in Murray left over from his successful "Saturday Night Live" days. However, he has fallen into what I refer to as the "Jim Carrey Syndrome" - performing the same character in movies over and over again until audiences are nauseated. The only difference between Murray and Carrey is that Murray doesn't grate on the audiences' nerves and the queasy feel-

ing tends to go away halfway through the film. It's like getting used to being sea sick. Joanne Whalley plays the love interest and does her part well. Her character, Lori, is involved with some shady dealings when Ritchie comes into her life. She's a superficial character and a perfect match for Ritchie. She's not there for her brains, just looks. There isn't a lot of meat to Lori so, here
too, is another actor not going for an Oscar winning performance. Together they "wing it" from crisis to crisis. Thank goodness there was not a lot of secondary cast members to deal with. It was hard enough to stay with the plot and the who'swho of characters. The story was simple enough to follow and adding too many characters would have cluttered the
screen. The rest of the cast do a good job of staying in character and trying to be believable. Again, no noteworthy performances to mention. Despite some liable performances, some good laughs and a not-too-taxing-on-the-brain plot, audiences will like the film and will discover that "The Man Who Knew Too Little" really didn't know much at all.
'Monsoon' by Caroline's Spine delivers quick licks
Caroline's Spine "Monsoon" Hollywood Records
Melody Cruz Staff Writer
Caroline's Spine- the name first conjured up images of a band that has nothing to say in their music except pointless lyrics discussing the bone structure of a woman named Caroline. "Monsoon," the band's fifth release and first major label release on Disney's Hollywood Records proves to be a completely different experience. Caroline's Spine is a band who began on the San Diego independent label, ANZA records and has toured for three years around the country and Europe to gain a slow but steady following. The band is made up of Jimmy Newquist, singer and songwriter; Jason Gilardi, drums; Mark Haugh, guitar and Scott Jones, bass. The album begins with a jolt in the song, "King for a Day" a fast song with the singer/songwriter Jimmy Newquist singing compelling lines like "Cause all I want is an ice cream cone, a convertible car, and a
country home in the hills, and you know why? Things, the way they are they make me sit in here and cry." Although the lyrics invoke a sense of hopelessness the music sets a very different tune with its upbeat attitude. The album's first single, "Sullivan" talks about the five Sullivan brothers from Waterloo, Iowa who died while aboard the U.S.S. Juneau during World War II. The song, even with its powerful imagery, still maintains a fast beat and keeps the listener connected with what the song is trying to get across. "Wallflower" changes the mood of the album dramatically when the singer changes to a soft approach in this particular song. The lyrics call for a mood that is serious and the song therefore deserves to be taken seriously. "Trio' Pain" was an interesting tune to listen to. The lyrics, written in conversational form, were fun to read while the song played. The ninth track, "Necro" was one of the more diverse songs on the album. The song draws in the listener with fast rhythms and hyperactive singing on the part of Newquist. It doesn't leave the listener feeling like they just drank a hundred cups of coffee as some songs this fast tend to do. It stops and changes into something dramatically different for a few short parts. There are squealing guitars and intersting lyrics like, "I'm a hypoxyphiliac I need the freedom to think about you when you should be breathingll'm a agoraphiliac I need my ground, won't lock you up or tie you down." The lyrics aren't exactly comprehensible but it doesn't matter because they sound great alongside the neurotic music. Overall, Caroline's Spine has put out an album that takes a approach not normally taken by rock bands. Don't be turned off be their unique name; put aside any bias and just listen to the music. Their lyrics are well thought out and are definitely not pointless. These four men certainly have everything it takes to be groundbreaking artists.
Red Aunts' Saltbox is too bitter Liz Bennett Staff Writer
Don't buy or even waste your time listening to "Saltbox." It is pure trash. The female duo, Red Aunts, must have had a very disturbed childhood. They are a negative, alternative, punk group that have no idea what music is. The girls singing, or should I say malevolent babelling, is not in tune throughout the album. It was very discouraging. The worst song on the album is "I Can't Do Anything Right." Yeah, no kidding, if this group was a horse, listeners would shoot it and put it out of its misery. I don't want to hear songs reenforcing the idea that women are
idiotic bumbleheads. "Bullet Train," is about killing a lover. Even when people are really angry, this is not the kind of song they want to hear. None of the songs on the album reflect any emotion except anger. These songs could not be related to life in any way. The songs have no point, no flow, are poorly mixed and sound horrible. This album will never be played on the radio. Because this album is on a major label, Epitaph, I thought it must be decent. However, Epitaph must have taken a big risk by releasing this hateful nonsense. I suppose that if I had to say something good about the album, it would be that it was only 26 minutes long.

It only took the Lady Comets' volleyball team a little over an hour to smoke Southwestern College at last Wednesday's match in the Dome. The team started the series of three games standing in a circle, psyching themselves up. It apparently worked because Joy Ward, a two-year player, started the annihilation of Southwestern when she scored the first point with a powerful spike in the other team's face. "It felt good to spank them," said Ward. After an intense rally back and forth,' Palomar managed to sneak the ball over the net, winning another point. The Southwe~tern team seemed discouraged with their playing until the first time-out.

After several words from their coach, Southwestern bounced back with spunk and spiked two over on Palomar. At the second time-out in the first game, the Comets had 10 points and Southwestern had two. The Lady Comets were very vocal when it came to encouraging their team members and calling the balls. They would dive and twist their bodies in knots trying not to let the ball hit the floor. The Comets ' timing and agility was obviously better than Southwestern 's, and it showed when the first game ended 15 to 4, Palomar. Ward, No. 13, continued the team's rally in game two, scoring four points with killer serves. The Lady Comets dominated the second game, 15-0. "We just put so much pressure on them with tough serving that they couldn't side out," said Teri McFarland, assistant coach. "We served and passed really well. We had five ace serves." Erin Wetmore, a two-year player, demonstrated Comet power with her serves throughout the game. Wetmore scored a total of 10 points throughout the three-game match. The Lady Comets s~emed to lose focus in the third game, as miscues and mistakes plagued the team's concentration. The team started hitting balls everywhere

except they were supposed to go. Once again Ward brought the team's hope back by scoring three points while serving, therefore bumping the score back up 7-6. Palomar won the third and final game of the match, 12 to 8. Ward scored a total of 12 points during the three-game series.
"We just rocked," said Tracy Cabugao, No. 9 and two-year player who scored 12 points during the match. "Mesa is our next game and if we win we'll be co-conference champs, and we're going to get them," said Wetmore. The match is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14 in the Dome.
