Con-artists solicit fake funds in the name of Palomar team Jessica Long Co-Editor in Chief

Unknown soliciters have been giving Palomar a bad name by attempting to gather donations in the name of the college's wrestling team .

The Athletics Department has recently found out that a con-artist claimin g to be a member of the team has been collecting contributions while claiming the money is for the Children•~ Hospital. ··we were told second hand that the sheriff's department said a person can say whatever they want to but I find that rather surprising, " said John Woods, athletic director and wrestling team coach. "Right now, I don't really know that there is all that much that we can do about this. " Woods did, however, add that he hopes the word can be spread quickly about this so that no one donates under false pretenses.

"People need to know that the tea m

is not involved in this," Woods said.

Allegedly at least two solicitors have been frequenting North County communities, predominately in Carlsbad.

Peter Mojica, vice president/ inter-club counsel chairperson, stumbled across the situation when he was representing the Comet Club on campus. He took the information he John Woods overheard to Athletic Palomar 's legal Director counsel, Ben Ecgeverria.

Ecgeverria told Mojica that ··chis was a crime against Palomar Col lege."

Mojica said Ecgeverria then instructed him to contact campus security so that the story can run through the proper Palomar channels.

As of press time, no official action has been taken upon the individuals

believed to be involved in this con.

The solicitors are telling citizens thal they are members of LhePalomar Wrestling Team and are receiving donations, selling magazines and car washes door to door to benefit Children's Hospital in La Jolla. The Children's Hospital is actually not located in La Jolla but San Diego.

Other reports have been that the solicitors claim to be collecting directly for the team as well.

One con-man who , when asked for proof of his credentials, provided a potential donator with a business card stating his name and that he worked for a circulation company based in Minnesota.

The company declined to comment on the situation citing that they have no knowledge of the individual and deal with licensing throughout the e nti re country, not individual emp loyees.

Higher education is third largest contributor to San Diego economy Jessica Long Co-Editor in Chief

As "high -tech " as San Diego County may be, high er ed ucation still boosts loca l economies mor e than any technical industry according to a report titled The Impact of High er Education on San Diego's Economy.

The study found that four -year univer sities and colleges and co mmunity college district s are the third highest con tributors to the co unty 's eco nomy , point ing out that only defense and tourist rev enues brin g more mon ey to the regio n.

"Higher education is an important sec tor in San Diego's economy," said San Diego State University President Stephen Weber. "It is an esse ntial ingredient in San Diego ·s economic future ."

The study found that $2.4 billion is

spent from higher education institutions on payroll ($1 billion), ben efits ($234 million) , purchased goods ($ 110 mil lion), sales tax ($8.7 million) and other expenses ($ l 68 million.)

When spending students are added to the equation, an additional $1.2 billion is spent into local economies bringing a total of $3.6 billion spent in the '97 -' 98 academic year.

An anticipated student enrollment boom is expected to increase higher education's impact on the region even further , the report said.

The study was coordinated by Ann Bri ggs Addo , specia l assistant to the vice chancellor at University of California, San Diego in conjunction with the 17 higher education institutions throu ghout San Diego County. The schools .are accredited by the Western

National Ed campaign launched to inform college financing Shigehiro Kondo Staff Writer

Getting a higher education can cost a considerable amount of money, and in fact, tuition for colleges and universities is continuously getting higher. But don't give up. If you make some efforts to gather information and fill out forms, it will likely ease such increasing financial burden .

The message "College Is Possible" is part of a national education campaign launched last month by the Coalition of America 's Colleges and Universilies wilh nearly 1,200 colleges and universities participating nationwide.

The campaign , supported by a website (www.CollegeisPossible.org) and the U.S. Department of Education 's toll-free number for college information ( l-800-433-3243) , is trying to inform the public about the options and resources which can help lhem finance their higher education.

Advertise

Campaign organizers conducted a survey earlier this year which found that although students and parents regard higher education as valuable, they tend to overestimate the cost and underestimate the financial resources available to them. They also found that people surveyed overestimated the actual cost by as much as 200 percent. Campaign organizers say that this overestimation suggests a danger that many people may be giving up their opportunities to receive higher education .

Lack of adequate information which could help them accurately estimate the cost and even reduce it.

American Council on Education President Stanley 0. Ikenberry says the "College Is Possible" campaign will avert this danger. "No deserving student should be deprived of a college degree because he or she doesn't have the right information," Ikenberry said. "We think this nationwide campaign will help close the information gap."

in The Telescope

Accordin g to the campaign's website there is $60 billion available to students in various forms of financial aid from federal, state , local and institutional sources . Among the approximat e ly 16.7 million students currently enrolled in post-secondary study in the United States, more than half of them receive some form of financial a id. At community colleges, one-third of students receive aid while half at public univer sities and 70 percent at private universitie s.

Besides compr ehensive information about student aid, the website gives parents some tips to prepare their children for college along with the list of recommended books and other website s.

The issue of peopl e missing opportunities due to their perception of the price of a college education is too expensive might sound irrelevant here at Palomar.

"In a community college, they don't overestimate the cost," said Mary San Agustin , direc-

PINION EDITORIALS Thank you, Palomar Earlier this month the Department of Education had a little problem; their computers went down.

The result of this crisis was that checks sent out to students reliant on financial aid and grants were made of rubber and likely to bounce.

When news of this crisis hit Palomar officials, the vice president of fiscal services quickly responded and money from Palomar was deposited into an account to cover checks sent out to students until such a time when the state could reimburse Palomar.

This act of looking out for student welfare should make Palomar students rather proud of the individuals working at this institution of higher education that truly have the interest of the student body at heart. Palomar was no way obligated to fix this problem for the students because it was technically a state problem.

Most colleges would find it difficult to even atte[Upt to work through the red tape that can cloud an administration's operations, but Palomar quickly and effectively came through for the students and are to be commended for it.

Kt:Ra,_ ...

Education has no price Can we put a price on education? Here in California we don't realize just how much education costs because the state has opted to pay for much of it But education is. and always will be, expensive.

That's why Palomar was so excited in , 1996 when the AM radio station was donated to the college. This gave students in the radio program the opportunity to have hands -on experience - an invaluable lesson when going into that field.

On Nov. 24 the Governing Board will he voting on whether to keep the station or not , beca use of the amount of money it takes to maintain it.

Selling or cancelling an education program, especially those that are successful, because they don't make a profit is missing the boat on "educational excellence."

It can he argued that it is irresponsible ro continue spending when the money is not there. But education should not be

about the bottom line. It is about giving people the opportunity to succeed in life.

Palomar should not be looking at the radio station as a profit making entity.

Math, english, science, etc. are not self supporting programs, that is not their goal. The radio station should be looked upon in the same fashion.

We feel it is important to keep Palomar's successful programs, especially since we an~ one of therp. People may say that radio students can continue to broadcast on the Cox Cable FM station, but that is like telling The Telescopethat it will only publish the online edition, and not the newsprint.

Educational excellence is not accomplished by shutting down successful programs because they don't make profits.

Keeping certain programs may cost a lot, but can we put a price on "educational excellence?"

Time for ASG to call truce The resignation of the executive vice president of the Associated Student Government will hopefully turn out for the good. It is time for the infighting between our representatives to stop, and now is the perfect opportunity.

TheASG should not just look at this as the time for a new executive vice president, but as the time to renew their commitment to serving the students. The spring semester is fast approaching. The ASG should review their accomplish-

TH

ments and shortcoming of the fall, and set substantive goals for (he spring.

The new exe<.:ulive vice president, we hope, will learn from the one before him, and be a better leader because of it.

It is unfortunate that those who the students have elected must resign . But resignation in this case was a wise choke, and will result in more positive leadership.

We hope the ASG can stop bickering now, and go into the sp1ing semester serving the students, on a positive note .

Station is worth keeping

Station costs too much

First and foremost, Palomar College should keep the AM license for KKSM. Even though a campus program is financially in trouble, the college should keep it running. KKSM has a lot of potential, and there are many reasons for it to stay. First of all, it's a productive station. It has been broadcasting Comet football games and they are hoping to work on other sports as well. KKSM is also working with KDCT, the Oceanside community television station, focusing on public concerns within the community. KDCT advertises for KKSM and permits it to send a tape for transmission. KKSM also does a weekly community ascertainment program called "An Oceanside View." Also, KKSM has been rated amongst the top five college radio stations in the country.

Think about the students who run the station. They need this experience for their future. How can something with so much potential and benefit for the students be taken away?

The AM station was donated to Palomar in 1996. It's an honor for the school to have an over-the-air station for free. By taking this away, all hopes for the college to have a station will just go down the drain.

Also, the station just recently changed its format to reach Palomar students. Aside from just talk segments, this station plays a variety of music, from hip-hop to alternative to mainstream. These are the kinds of music a majority of Palomar students would listen to.

However, there is the dilemma of power.

Some areas, like Temecula, cannot pick up the station. Instead of looking at that as a reason to stop broadcasting, why doesn't the college try to expand the station's range of potential listeners, by increasing the power?

It is going to be real costly. But then people who support this station can make endowments for the cost and perhaps the school can raise funds.

To keep the AM broadcast it costs Palomar College about $800 a month. The station also needs a fulltime general manag er. But people in the community are willing to -meet those needs and set up endowments to keep the AM broadcast. Even if the cost remains high, KKSM is worth keeping. A successful student-run radio station like this, that gives students valuable experience and knowledge, is not something Palomar College should throw away.

The decision is being made on whether to to sell Comet Radio's AM license or not. I understand and cannot deny that students can gain experience in broadcasting through working at Palomar 's Comet Radio station.

But I think we also need to consider the reality.

Comet Radio has serious problems. The station lacks the funding to operate the AM transmitter site. Right now, it has financial commitments from the co mmunity ; however, there is no guarantee that they can get it in the future. Also, its income does not meet its expenses. It is irresponsible for Palomar College to continue to run a station that loses money. Under these conditions, I think it will be very hard to continue to maintain the station.

Another problem is the lack of a full time general manager for the station. The radio program does not have the funds to hire a full time manager , or even a quarter-time position.

Also , Comet Radio is a low -powe red station in Oceanside and is heard in only a small area, with a small listenership. The radio is supposed to be broadcast in a wide area even though it is a college station. That is the radio. If people cannot tune into AM 1320 anywhere, it does not meet listeners' needs and the radio station turns out to be meaningless . Which makes justifying an increase in funding for the program even more difficult. In this situation, there is no doubt Comet Radio cannot get the revenue that meets its needs .

Furthermore, the property the transmilter is located on in Oceanside is for sale.

Comet Radio does have a two year lease , but there is no guarantee that the new landlord will continue to rent the space to Palomar Coll ege.

If the AM license is sold students will still get the experience of broadcasting. Palomar College had a strong radio program before the AM license was donated broadcasting on Cox Cable FM. Comet Radio will be able to continue their broadcast.

I am not saying that keeping the AM station is wor thless , if anything it is worth it to continue the program for the students. But we cannot deny there is major risk in keeping the station. We cannot turn away from the reality of the lack of funding and no one to manage the station on a daily basis .

Considering this, I think selling Comet Radio 's AM license is unavoidable.

It was a typical Saturday night, I had just gotten home from the movies with my friend. I was bored and got onto the Padres web page. My littl e brother came home stoned and hungry as usual. Our parents were out to a movie or something.

He went into the kitchen and began cooking fries, he had a little case of the munchies. I knew he was cooking fries because he asked me how much oil to put into the pan. When he started yelling I paid no attention because he screams every time he sees a spider, and he's always yelling about something.•I figured there was a sp ider on the ceiling or on the window.

I glanced al the TV in the other room and saw a reflection of a fire . A pretty big fire had started on the stove, the flames were about 3 feet high and burning the wooden cabinets above the stove. When I smelled smoke I knew it was a real fire so I went into the kitchen.

Yes there was a fire in our kitchen and my stoned 15-year -old brother was standin g in awe of the heat that it gave off and the bright light. Then he turns to me and asks how much trouble he' s going to get into with our par ents, when they co me home .

We look around for a fire extinguisher. It would mak e sense for it to be in the kitchen .

Of course that would make this easier so it wasn't. My brother ran up stairs to find it whil e r called 911. I hear him yell from upstair s that I shouldn't call 911 'ca use they ' re go ing to know he 's stoned.

To give you an idea of how far the fire department is from our hous e - it's about

the distance from the Brubeck Theatre to lot 9. I was on the phone with someone in charge at the 911 office and they told me they'd send a truck over righL away. I've had pizza arrive at my house faster than these firefighter.

By the time they got there I had taken the pot on fire off the stove, it didn 't take long for the flames to die down . It looked like we had hot boxed our house and it didn't smell that good. Finally the five firefighters got to our house and walked around, they played with our dog and decided we needed another one of their trucks to come and use their fans to air out our house . It took that truck about half as long as the first one, but there was no more fire so 1 guess they didn ' t need to hurry or anything.

My brother is still freaking out running around our house looking for cleanin g products to clean the stove and the burned oven. The firefighters are asking ques tions and my brother is Lripping out because he thinks 'they know'. After about IO minutes they tak e their fans away and spray potpourri around our house so the smoke smell goes away before our parents come home.

Not like they're not going to notice the color change of the cabinets in our kitchen . Or that one of the pols is burn ed, or that the top of the stove is melted, or that the towel that was hanging over the stove, once pink and flowery is now black and singed, and the ceiling in the kitchen is no longer white but a grayis h color.

I was glad that the fire departm ent existed because if I hadn ' t gotten the fire out befor e they decid ed to come over and my house burned down , my parents would have been real mad. And all my things would be gone. Fires destroy hous es every day, but it seems it is always someo ne's hous e that burns.

Thanks to my stoner brother , one of those houses could have been ours. He's not allowed to cook when he 's stoned anymore, my own rule.

Americans everywhere were probably busy this week smashing their porcelain replicas of Monticello, cutting the picture of Thomas Jefferson out of their commemorative bicentennial placemats and hastily moving _their photographs of the Jefferson Memorial to the back of the scrapbook.

Why Lhe uproar, you ask? Recently , a team of scientists in Virginia discovered it is highly probable that Thomas Jefferson fathered one of his mulatto slave's children.

Actually, it didn't cause a stir. Sure, it's interesting to know that one of our founding fathers actually had dirt to hide. But other than the fac t that we can all view Jefferson in an interesting new light (and say things like "Way to go, Tom!"), the findings were not monumental.

Disgustingly enough, though, people immediately compared Jefferson's situation to that of President Clinton, who gave a special Oval Office tour to portly intern Monica Lewinsky.

People rushed to classify Jefferson and Clinton as victims. "Do we really have to scruunize Clinton's behavior when Thomas Jefferson fathered an illegitimate child?" they asked. "Leave them be."

Well, there are a couple of differences in the two cases. For one, Thomas Jefferson had, at press time, been dead for 172 years. And Jefferson didn't try to obstruct justice in hiding his affair.

"But we're being unfair to Clinton," you might say. "Jefferson's contemporaries didn't make a big deal out of his pri vate life." In fact, they did. The newspapers were full of savage, and often distasteful, political cartoons and editorials discussing Jefferson's iniquity . ·Opponents derided Jefferson as being downright wicked - Satan in a powdered wig.

If 24-hour news networks had existed in Jefferson 's time, he probably would have been in trouble, too. But they didn't.

Clinton, on the other hand, is unfortu nate enough not only to live in an age of instant information, but also one in which the American people seem to be wild about morals. But should we be any easier on him because of it? No. The fact remains that Clinton deceived his people, his party, his family and his colleagues. If he's guilty of a crime, he should be held accountable for it, no matter what Thomas Jefferson - or any other U.S. president - did years ago.

Wasting student money Last week the Associated Student Government traveled to Tampa, Florida for a conference of a naLional student association. Our eight representatives went on this trip courtesy of you and me - it was paid for with student representation fee money.

We pay for the flight there, for the hotel rooms and for their food. Now , I have no problem with the ASG using the student repres entation fee to repr ese nt us, but this was not the case.

The conference began on Friday after noon , but the ASG left for Tampa on Wednesday evening. They had a,11 day Thursday off to be tourists. In fact, they went to the mall and to Orlando.

Remember that we paid for that extra day.

Th ey could hav e very easily left early Friday morning, or even Thursday night, as ASG's of the past have done. But they failed to follow the precedent.

This prompts the asking of some ques -

tions . Why is my money being spent on someone else's tourist activity? Why do my representatives feel they can free boat in Florida on student money ? Why do T even pay the student repre se ntation fee?

1 used to pay the fee because 1 thought it was going to be used for representation - as the fee's description states. But it appears that this ASG thinks otherwise. I have even bee n told by an ASG officer that it is their mon ey, not the stud ents'. What kind of

thinking is that?

Students do not have to pay the student representation fee. When our registration bill comes in the mail we can simply opt not to pay the$ I fee.

Not paying the fee is something we must seriously take into consideration. ls the student representation fee the ASG's mon ey or is the students' money? I believe it is the student's money, and should be used for the purpose stated in the name - representing students.

Next semester I am not paying the student representation fee, and I would encourage everyone else to do the same. When you receive your registration form, remember what the money is rea lly be ing used for.

Consider not paying the fee because it is wasted by our representatives . Pe rhaps when the ASG doesn' t have enough funds to spend extra days in Florida the y will start to take using student money more seriously.

Isn't it great that we stopped CALSACC from taking a quarter of the student rep fee? ,

Tell me about it.

As individuals, students each have their own way of learning. Some students learn visually or auditory and use flash cards, tapes and ·pneumonic devices in order to gain their education. But there are other students who need a little more from school than the memorization and regurgitation that most attending college are so familiar with.

These students are the people who decide to experience their education in a more three-dimensional fashion by embarking on one of Palomar's many educationa l excursions.

Palomar offers several trips to various places around the world, but all the programs can be put into one of three categories.

The largest group of trips are the language and culture trips ranging from weekends in Ensenada , to a two-week excursion to Beijing, China to a whole &emester in Salamanca, Spain.

Palomar also offers life science field study programs that take students to either Belize or the Sea of Cortez and an annual art and photography trip that allows students to tour a section of Europe.

One of the big sources of information for the trips is the Study Abroad Services office. Students can go to this office to get information about the different trips or to take care of the paperwork necessary to go.

"We have 12 different study abroad pro grams ranging from weekends in Ensenada to full semester programs, " Mona Ayele, director of Study Abroad Services , said.

According to the director they work with 12 different Junior Colleges on the semester programs but leave the development of the other trips to the individual Palomar profes sors.

One of these professors is Joel Rivera who has organized and still organize s many

c ass

Spanish immersion programs for students who want to speak and learn more of the language. "A lot of students are afraid to speak the language," Rivera said . "(While in the country) they lose their inhibition because they gel to speak with families."

The families Rivera mentions are the families that house the students during their stay.

Rivera came up with this idea while in the Peace Corps. "We would train the students for three months then send them to Central and South America," Rivera said.

Rivera thought of the idea of sending the students to the country first and letting them learn while living with families and being in the midst of the culture. The idea worked so well that Rivera brought it with him to Palomar and has been seeing it work here successfully for over 15 years.

Candice Francis agrees with Rivera 's philosophy of Learning abroad . Francis head the life science field study trip that takes students on a two-week trip to Belize.

Although the trip includes fun activities like hiking and snorkel ing, Francis stated that there is plenty of chances for learning.

"Students are required to keep a field notebook, do a small research project (before the trip) and participate in different field exercises," Francis said.

Besides the travel days and the free day, every day in Belize includes snorkeling giving students a chance to study the coral reefs and other ocean life. There are also nature hikes, trips to Belize 's zoo and a cave rafting trip .

On of the other popular trips is the art and photo graphy focused trip called the Heart of Europe. This annual trip is headed by Harry Bliss who also directs the Boehm Gallery.

Bliss's trip changes from year to year. This year he will be taking students through such famous cities as Vienna , Berlin and Amsterdam .

With these and the various other travel programs offered , Palomar students have plenty of opportunity to approach learning in a very unique way.

Palomar offers several different travel opportunities grouped in three major categories:

JCelebrator beware of toasting holidays with spirits

It's that time of year to give thanks and rejoice in all the harmony of the season. But not everyone has the traditional family plans.

College students often have to resort to alternative holiday practices. Here are some non-traditional ways to spend the weekend .

During this time of year, many organizations and churches will be serving or giving away food for both the homeless and those in need. If you are interested in volunteering, here are a few local places lookin g for help.

Elissa Leibowitz College Press Service

Thirty-six-year-old Robert remembers the holidays 19 years ago as if they liter ally were yesterday.

Robert and a few friends crossed the Illinois border into Wisconsin, where the minimum drinking age was 18 in Lhe late 1970s, for a night of drinking.

After many drinks late into the night, Robert and his friends piled into his car for the ride home. Two of the friends never made it home.

"I lost my friends in an accident because T was driving drunk," said Robert, a recovering alcoholic who counsels others on the dangers of alcohol. He asked that his full name not be used .

"At that age I thought I was indestructible," he added.

Robert does not tell his story to preach on the dangers of drinking.

He shares it as a warning to what can happen when you drink too much, not just during the holidays but during the whole year.

"I could have saved myself a lot of anxiety over the years," he said.

Winter break at many universities gives college students time to indulge in holiday spirits.

Good cheer and gift -giving are fine, but when those spirits include rum , vodka and whiskey, then the holidays, say experts, can take a deadly tum.

Universities emp hasize moderate drinking year -round, but many schools and student groups step up their campaigns around the holidays, when alcohol is more available.

National gro ups, such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving and DARE also emphasize responsible drinking around the holiday s.

"Consumption goes up, so many inter vention strategies that are not around at other times start up around the holidays, " said Tom Goodale, vice president for student services at American University and founder of the student group Bacchus, which stresses non -alco hol activities and consumption moderation.

Besides the gifts and parties, the holi days tend to bring with them "a nother excuse to get tanked," Robert sa id. And while partying with friends can brin g good cheer, it also make some people feel depressed.

"Happiness and sadness are two good reaso ns to drink," he sa id.

The expe rts offer several tip s for col lege stud ents who plan to drink around the holidays: * Students are used to walking to ca mpu s bars and parties to drink.

Walkin g is not always an option when you are at hom e. If you have to drive be aware that you probably should not drink as much as you do at school. * Be wary of party punches. Many of them contai n more alco hol than you think. * Stay aware of who is refilling your g lass and how often the glass is bein g "topped off. " That way you can better co ntrol your alcohol intak e. * Many bars offer serv ices to call cabs when you drink too much. Party ho sts should do the same. Take advanta ge of them without shame . * And those watching their weight should be forewarned as well. Many holiday punches and egg nag drinks con tain hidd en calori es.

Some students- are alone dur ing Thanksgiving and makin g plans for this special day can be a challenge . Sometimes it is nice to get a gro up of friends together or a date and spend the evening together.

There are a variety of restaurants all over North County. However , it is difficult to find a restaurant that is open on Thanksgiving. Many restaurants in this area are small, family owned, and therefore, they enjoy celebratin g this holiday with their own families.

For those who are searching for a place that's open on this upcoming holiday there are some goo d place s to choose from if you know where to go.

A more casual restaurants option is The Ca lifornia Bistro which offers its sta ndard menu with Thanksgiving spec ial s. The Argyle, a bit mor e formal, yet still casual, has an outstanding view of the 18th hol e of the go lf course . Viva ce is the most formal of the three, but , just a jacket will be fine .

The Argyle and Viva ce will be offering the same dinner buffet at $40.00 for adults, $ 18.00 for children betwe e n the ages of five and 12, and children und er four are free .

The food selections are savory and ex traor dinary that it is well worth the indulgence.

Campus Beat Ediro,

Anyone who has grown up with the Sunday funnies are familiar with the colorful faces and personalities of Charlie Brown and his Peanuts gang.

On Nov. 20 the Palomar Performing Arts Department will bring these lovable characters to life through song and dance.with "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."

"You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" was written in 1967 , by Clark Gesner and is based on Charles Schultz's popular comic strip which centers around Charlie Brown and his young group of eccentric buddies.

Charlie Brown is played by an expressive Chuck Hand, who was cast as the king in the recent fall production of "The Outlaw Robin Hood" and as Orin in "Little Shop of Horrors."

Snoopy, Charlie Brown's dramatic beagle , is played by Dena Roberts.

Schroeder, the boy who is obsessed with music and scared of Lucy, is played by Garney Johnson.

The loud mouthed, know it all Lucy is played by Jennifer Mandala. Linus, Lucy's brother who is never without his blue blanket is played by James Flaherty. Lastly, Lucy's friends Patty and Sally are played by Jocelyn Hoegberg and Heather Hamish. Hamish is also working as the choreographer for the production.

The musical is directed by Dana Case who directed last fall's "The Lion in Winter." She decided to put on a production of "Charl ie Brown" because she wanted to direct something her 6-year old son could watch and enjoy. In addition to entertaining the kids, she is also aiming at makin g it a theatre expe rience adults will enjoy as well.

"I wanted to do a show that would appeal to everybody and I think this one really does," Case said, " I wanted to do something fun and upbeat and that is accessible to everybody."

The production doesn't have an actual plot but is rat her a bunch of songs and scenes from the comic strip that are thread together. Char lie Brown is still inse cure about the little red headed girl and about the fact that he didn't receive a valentine.

Hand's portrayal of the comic kid defi nitely show s how insecure Charlie's character really is.

The set is a colorful, adult -size playground complete with oversized props. The characters have backpacks that dwarf them and pencils way too larg e for their hands. This was done to help the audience see the adult actors as children.

" I wanted to bring a sense of play and silliness.

TELESCOPE

MADISON, Wis. (CPX) - The University of Wisconsin system has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the use of mandatory student fees to finance campus groups. a common procedure at colleges across the nation but one a federal appeals court struck down in August. Until the Supreme Court rejects the case or delivers a ruling on it, univer5ity officials have said they would stick to their current policy, which allocates money to all campus groups. Student fees vary cachsemcstcr and hover between $10 to $12.

Regents of the university's system have been debating the issue since a three judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that the system's fee policy violated the

First Amendment rights of students who don't want their money being used to support organizations with differing ideological, political or religious views.

The decision ~temmed from a 1996 lawsuit filed by three self-described conservative Christian students at the University of Wisconsin at Madison who cited 18 campus groups - including the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Campus Center they considered offensive to their beliefs.

In their appeal to the Supreme Court, university officials said they are supporting students' First Amendment rights by giving them access to a variety of campus groups supporting a myriad of views that contribute to the university system's educational mission.

"We have created a forum of funding for student organizations in which all enrolled students

The amount of jobs created outside of the District's full-time faculty, staff and administrative employees that are considered to be the result of the District's operations were 4,591 in the '96-'97 academic year the report said.

Area credit base refers to the District and its employees that hold

gories; income generated, job creation and area credit base.

Income generated refers to purchases made by the District within the local community, employee wages paid out to those who reside within the District boundaries and financial aid received by students also residing within the District boundaries. The indirect and direct income generated by the District in the 1996-1997 academic year increased 8 percent from the '94'95 school year and comprises the measurable amount brought into

While the full Seventh Circuit rejected the system's request for another hearing last 111011th. university officials said it's more likely they'll grab the attention of the nation's highest coml. which may be eager to settle conflicting rulings on the issue made by lower courts. University o!Ticials point to a 1995 case in which the Supreme Court ruled that universities violate student grnups' free-speech rights when they deny them money because of their views. That ruling stems from a case involving a student publication with Christian themes that was denied runding from student fees by the University of Virginia.

The study found that $2,764,945 wns deposited in local hanks as a result of District business and most of that amount was then made available for loans to local businesses and individuals residing within the community surrounding Palomar.

Female football player's lawsuit against Duke University ruled out of bounds John Doe College Press Se11'iCI'

DURHAM , N.C. (CPX) - A federal judge has kicked out of court a suit filed against Duke University by a student wanting to become the first woman in the nation to play Division I football.

Heather Sue Mercer, a walk-on place kicker who graduated in May, sued the university and head football coach Fred Goldsmith in 1997, alleging that she was kept off the team because of her gender. She claimed her dismissal was in viola-

tion of Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination al institutions receiving public funds.

Mercer sought compensatory and punitive damages but collected neither after U.S. District Court Judge Carlton Tilley, Jr., dismissed her case, ruling that the university and Goldsmith had "no obligation to allow Mercer, or any female, onto its football team."

Title IX, the judge said, requires athletics programs to allow members of both genders on a single-sex team only when there is a comparable counterpart for member s of the

minority sex. Tilley added that Title IX does not apply to football because it is a contact sport of a kind that is explicitly excluded from the federal law.

"We are gratified but not surprised by the United States District Court's decision," said John F. Burness , Duke's senior vice president for public affairs.

Mercer - a third-team, all-state selection in football in her senior year in high school - said Goldsmith told her she would have a spot on the team after she kicked a gamewinmng goal during a prescason

While many student leaders have criticized the appeals court's dech,ion against the fee policy, they are sharply divided over whether the University of Wisconsin should try to makes its case before the Supreme Cou11. Several students said they would rather see the court accept similar cases pending in Minnesota and Oregon, where, they added. those states have done a much better job of defending student-foe policies.

"There is a risk in taking a flawed decision lo the Supreme Court." John Grabel, presidem of the United Council of University of Wisconsin students told The Chronicle of Higher Education. "It would be dangerous if Wisconsin's case was the only one being considered. but I suspect the Supreme Court will consider all the student-fee cases around the hation."

it is an issue of not wanting to bother filling out the application."

But San Agustin said that among some students there is still some misperception. One of them is that financial aid is only for low-income people.

She explained although the Board of Governors Waiver, known as BOGW, which is the most popular form of financial aid at Palomar, requires students to meet specific income levels for qualification, middle-income people can still turn to federal financial aid. "You shouldn't think that federal aid is strictly for the poor. It's also for middle-income people," said San Agustin.

Despite the low tuition at Palomar, San Agustin still encourages students to apply for financial aid since there are other costs involved while attending Palomar such as textbooks and other neces sary supplies, which can often be more expensive than tuition itself.

During the last academic-year, 10 percent of the student population at Palomar received enrollment fee waivers, and 7 percent received federal aid. The total amount of money received was approximately $ 4.9 million .

Community College's Civil War course sparks racial controversy Christine Tatum College Press Exchange

ARCHDALE, N.C. (CPX) - A nineweek course at Randolph Community College that puts a pro-Confederate spin on the Civil War has AfricanAmerican leaders up in arms.

The class' teachers - members of the local Sons of Confederate Veterans claim that most slaves were happy in captivity and that the War between The States was not fought over slavery but over Southerners ' rights to self-determination and economic independence.

They also cite diaries kept by Union officers to teach that as many as 38,000 black people fought in the Confederate army - and with the same fervor as their white counterparts.

Southern history experts are calling the course - titled "North Carolina History : Our Part in the War For Southern Independence" - "pseudo-history" and pro-Confederate "propaganda." Civil rights leaders are calling if offensive, and the state NAACP and state committee of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights say they may file formal complaints against the college after they review the course curriculum.

Instructors claim they're merely teaching a course that concludes slavery was wrong but one that also takes a more open and honest look at the Confederacy, which they say has been

treated in the mainstream with views that are one-sided and simplistic.

"We cannot allow political correctness to rewrite history or wipe out our heritage," instructor Jack Perdue said on the first day of class in September.

"African Americans celebrate Kwanzaa; Native Americans hold powwows," he added. "Everybody can cele brate their culture, but we can't."

School president Larry Linker backed the course offering in a statement: "Randolph Community College supports an open educational atmosphere where varying views may be presented that are not necessarily the views of the college," he wrote. "The course ... is a noncredit, continuing education class that is a self-supporting community service class, which means it is completely supported by the tuition charged, not by state tax dollars. It is not a required history course for any program at the college."

Many scholars of Southern history say the 12 students now enrolled would have a hard time peddling some of the concepts they've been taught in other classrooms. While many authorities on Civil War history agree that the battle has often been rendered one-dimensional, they say the course's claims about slaves and black Confederate soldiers cannot be supported. For example, it is not widely accepted in academic circles that more than 1,000 blacks fought for the South. Nor is it safe to presume that

those who turned down opportunities to escape did so because they bel ieved in the Confederate cause.

Even more galling, many black leaders and scholars say, is that instru ctors extrapolated from a series of interviews made with former slaves in the 1930s that 70 percent of slaves were content with their lives in captivity.

"That's a totally ludicrous statement to say that slaves loved their country,'· Richie Everette, president of the Randolph County NAACP chapter told the News & Record of Greensboro, N.C. "It's just like a battered wife syndrome or a battered child syndrome,'' he said, explaining why many blacks seemed to accept their fate.

"It's not that the North was all right and the South was all wrong," said William Barney , a professor of Southern history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "B ut it's the height of absurdity to say slavery was not the central issue."

Despite the controversy, many students say they 're learning much from the course.

"Just because we· re celebrat111g our Southern ancestors doesn't mean we're trying to condone slavery," said Dedra Routh, 45, who is taking the course for credit toward re-cert ificat ion as a teacher.

Police Blotter: A weekly look at campus crime briefs Peter Levine College Press Exchange

TUSCON, Ariz. (CPX) - A high-speed bicycle chase at the University of Arizona resulted in the arrest of one student who, according to police, said he likes running red lights on his bike.

That kind of traffic no-no is exactly how 22-year-old Evan Spealman got the attention of a police officer patrolling campus on a bicycle. ccording to police reports cited by the Daily Wildoot, Spealman blew through a red light on his way to class on Nov. 5.

According to reports, the officer ordered Spealman to stop twice, but Spealman ·simply looked back at him and kept right on peddling - swerving through traffic until the officer even tually caught up with him outside of the university's chemistry building.

The officer reported that Spealman, who was ticketed and released, even tually admitted that he'd done wrong .

BOULDER, Colo. (CPX) - Police at the University of Colorado at Boulder arrested an 18-year-old student. who intentionally broke a spr inkler, causing extensive flood damage to a residence hall.

The Nov. 5 incident resulted in soaked carpets and more than $3,000 in dam age.

University officials are asking students who lost books. computers and other per sonal effec ts to file additional damage

claims. Police charged with student with felony criminal mischief.

CONWAY, Ark. (CPX) - Police want students at the University of Central Arkansas to take cold showers - or perhaps just showers that are cooler than those to which they've grown accustomed.

According to the Echo, police have determined that steam coming from shower rooms has tripped several fire alarms throughout campus this semester.

ATLANTA, Ga. (CPX) - Bomb threats are always a dra g - but especially for those caught in the middle of tedious research .

Just ask Larry Young, a post-doctoral fellow in the psychiatry department at Emory University who had to leave his laboratory shortiy after university operators received a bomb threat on Oct. 29. They received a second threat the next day, which also prompted the evacuation of some campus buildings .

"We co uld lose $1, 000, not to mention the time on these experiments ... which could be ruined ," Young told The Wheel.

According to the newspaper , university police are investigating the two incidents and trying to determine whether they are related.

CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, Ill. (CPX) Police arrested a panhandler who is accused of twice slapping a University of Illinois student in the face after the student refused to give him mon ey.

According to the Daily Illini, witnesses

said the panhandler first approached the student outside a local pizza restaurant on Nov. 2. When the student tried to walk away, the panhandler fol lowed and delivered the second blow.

Police arrested Charles Wilson, 27, of Champaign, in connection with the incident and charged him with battery .

BLOOMINGTON , Ind . (CPX) - A student at Indiana University reported that a man wearing a mask made famous by the movie "Scream" entered her room and sexually assaulted her.

According to police reports, the student said she was smoking a cigarette outside her dormitory during the early-morning hours of Oct. 31 when the masked man sat down beside her.

After finishing the cigarette, the woman said she went back inside, grabbed a few things and headed to the bathroom, leaving the door to her room open. The student said the man was standing in the middle of her room when she returned.

Poli ce reports indicate that the man grabbed the student, pinned her to the floor and asked her if she liked scary movies - a question that villains in "Scream" and its sequel asked each of their victims.

The student said her roommate and a hallmate tried to enter the room but qu ickly left because they thought the man was there with consent.

BOSTON (CPX) - A Boston University student accused of unlawfully entering a

dorm room , destroying property and acting in a disorderly manner says the charges against him boil down to a "misunderstanding."

According to the Daily Free Press, cam pus police arrested freshman Adam Hamilton around 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 31 after he wandered into a room occupied by two sleeping women. The disturbance frightened the women, who called police for help immediately.

Hamilton told the newspaper that the charges against him are "preposterous."

"I was spending the night with friends at Towers, and I woke up in the middle of the night to use the restroom," he said. " f was disoriented and half-asleep , and I accidentally went into the wrong room."

Hamilton said he didn't mean to do anything wrong and hopes the issue blows over quickly.

"This is just a big misunderstanding," he said.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (CPX) - Funny how one thing lead s to another, as it did for a student at Michigan State University who was arrested on Nov. I .

Police found the 19-year-o ld in posses sion of alcohol, took a look around his room, and quickl y arrested him for having stolen street signs, too.

According to the Stale News, the man had about $650 worth of signs including that that regulate no-p arkin g and elevator capacity.

Wrestlers best in conference Anthony Saavedra Staff Writer

Palomar's wrestling team continues to focus on wrestling, despite a fundraising scam surrounding the team.

"We don't know anything about it," said coach John lsmay. "We haven't seen any money yet."

Although neither the team nor the school are involved with the scam, administrators have received several phone calls regarding it.

It has also gained the attention of KGTV. Despite the scam, the Comets, ranked second in the state, continue to excel on the mat.

The team posted a 3 l -9 victory at Mt. San Antonio College on Nov. 11.

The win clinched the SCC championship and improved the team's record to 10-2. Leo Perez, Byron Pogue, and Jason Paul recorded all three Comet pins.

The Comets cruised through the regular season.

Their only two losses came against top-ranked Fresno. They also went undefeated against SCC opponents.

The successful season gave the Comets the number one seed in the Southern Regionals on Nov. 22.

They will be led by sophomores lrvin Michael and Jason Bedsole, both ranked number one in the state in their respective weight classes.

Both are expecting to do well in the upcoming tournament.

"Hopefully, I will be the outstanding wrestler in the tournament," said Bedsole, who is also undefeated.

"Overa ll I've done good this season. But, I want to finish first."

Michael, who dropped down to fourth in the state at one point, showed confidence as well.

"I will take regionals," said Michael. "It's just how I take it."

Although they may seem cocky, the Comets are not taking the other teams in the tournament lightly.

"Santa Ana and Cerritos are good teams," said Ismay.

"And Moorpark is the defending state champion. Mt. SAC has good indi-

viduals, so it should be a close tourney."

Ismay also feels that he cannot rely solely on his top wrestlers for this tournament.

"We need the freshmen to step up," Ismay said.

"Guys will have to beat guys that they haven't beaten yet.

"We have to win close matches and overtime matches. It's gonna come down to overtime matches, and that's when we have to do it."

Both Michael and Bedsole credit Ismay for this season's success.

"Coach is awesome," said

Michael. "I've enjoyed wrestling for him. I'm glad I decided to come to Palomar."

Bedsole credits his success to Ismay's focus on drills and preparation.

Ismay gives all credit for the season to his team.

"We have a consistent group of

guys," said Ismay.

"They are always mentally tough, wrestling with injuries. The guys are tough about injuries."

The southern Regionals are all day at East Los Angeles on Nov. 22.

Should the Comets qualify, State Finals are all day at Moorpark on December 5 and 6.

Volleyball comes ..up ,,.short for playoffs Mike Stevens Sports Editor

The women's volleyball season is coming to a close for the Comets and no postseason play is in store for Palomar.

They currently have a 6-9 overall record and a record of 6-4 in the Pacific Coast Conference.

They are currently hovering around third place behind confer ence superpowers Grossmont and San Diego Mesa.

Although not taking part in the playoffs this season, Palomar's coaching staff gained an idea of who will be playing key roles for the Comets next season.

Both the starting setter psition and the outside hitter spot were

question marks for Palomar.

Freshman Christy Ruiterman was thrust into the vacant setter position at the beginning of the season and had no previous experience at that spot.

After several weeks of practice at the position she became one of the most consistent players on the team and a leader on the court.

"We had a brand new setter and she has come a long way," said assistant coach Teri McFarland. "By next year she will have the confidence to go with her newly developed skills."

Head Coach and former collegiate setter Karl Seiler had a lot to do with the success of Ruiterman and is looking forward to her return next season.

What's Next for

"She takes a lot of pressure off the hitters with her good sets," said Seiler. "When she is playing well

option in the offense.

Natalie Karl Seiler Stovall V-Ball Coach filled the role and joined the likes of Seanna Acrum , Meghan Leathern and Bridget Barrios in the front row.

Stovall would become the team leader in kills as well as one of the top hitters in that category for the entire conference. . Seiler knew from the start that the lack of experience might become a factor this season.

This would ultimately end up keeping the Comets from getting key victories at the beginning of the season and dwon the stretch.

"I think we fell a little short of our goals but we did come a long way," said Seiler. "One goal was to gain experience and we definitely did that, and that is huge for next season."

FUKUOKA, Japan - Billed as a baseball exhibition and a cultural exchange, the current tour of Japan by major-league players might develop into something more significant: a prelude to the majors' first regular -season games played outside the Western Hemisphere.

Executives from Major League Baseball, the Players Association and Japan's professional leagues conducted meetings during the past week aimed at staging major-league games in Tokyo as soon as 2000.

Under one plan discussed, two clubs would open their seasons with a series at the Tokyo Dome.

Japanese officials have expressed hope that the Yankees and Mariners would agree to participate.

Jim Sma ll, vice president for marketing development of Major League Baseball International, said no formal plan was in place and that officials were not close to inviting teams.

He confirmed only that execu tives from the major leagues , the union and Japanese baseball were in agreement that "games will be played here at some point."

"As our game continues to grow -

from a player development standpoint and from a business standpoint - we think it's essentia l to play games overseas and have them be real gam es that count," Small said.

He added that the Yankees and Mariners were "two teams that make sense" to play in Japan because of their fami liarity to Japanese fans , but added that the Mets, Dodgers and several other clubs also would be candidates .

The current tour's success has bolstered enthusiasm for staging games in Japan .

Although Japan is in the midst of a severe recession, each of the seven games between a team of major leaguers and one of Japanese stars is expected to be a sellout, leaving major -league executives eager to tap into such a baseball hungry market.

Playing regular-season games in Japan is not as popular an idea among players as it has become among officials.

Several players on the current tour expressed strong opposition to the thought of playing meaningful games in Japan. They cited the 14hour flight between the East Coast and Tokyo and a lack of familiar food as two obstacles .

'The idea is great in principle ,"

Phillies ace Curt Schilling said.

"But ask anybody in the big leagues if they want to play regular-season games here and they ' ll say no. It takes three or four days to get rid of the jet lag."

Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra called the idea of playing regular-season games in Japan "pretty crazy." He suggested that both the long flights and the long recovery periods that would be necessary could undermine the integri ty of the games.

"They do other sports - football and basketball - but they have down time," Garciaparra said. "You can't do it in baseball. We have to travel and play another game . It's unlike any other sport ... .It's a nice thought and all. But take us into considera tion."

Mariners starter Jamie Moyer was the only one of six players interviewed who supported the idea of playing in Japan.

He said the obstacles would be no more daunting than those faced by Hispanic players who come to the U.S. "There are a bazillion reasons why not to do it," Moyer said. "But if the game is growing in that direc tion, why not try it?"

Athletes are put on a pedestal.

Whether it is right or wrong, it' just the way it is.

There are many athletes that J personally look up to. And for the simple reason that they have th ability to do many things that ord·nary people can only dream of.

Take a guy like Cal Ripken. The example that he sets, on and off the field is second to none.

His work ethic and excellence is something that any working stitl can understand and respect.

The problem is that for every Ripken, there is a guy like Michael Irvin or Latrell Sprewell.

No matter how good these guy are, they will never be respected because of their actions away from their respective games.

Charger quarterback Ryan Leaf is fast becoming one of the bad guy of the sporting world.

Leaf's recent antics are soo going to have him in the same clas of the Sprewell 's of the world.

The problem for me is that I real ly want to like Leaf.

When the Chargers had a chance to draft Leaf, I was stoked.

I just dig his style on the football field. We haven't seen many great things from him so far, but he wa!! awesome last year at Washington State .

I only hope that he will realize that it's not cool to be a jerk . It's not that he needs to be a choir boy, h¢ just has to realize that treating people poorly sucks.

Many people say that his actions should be excused because he is young and immature.

I don't buy that.

Jt doesn't matter how old you are it's just not excusable to act as he has. Immaturity is not a justifica• tion.

Leaf is a player that people will one day respect and love to watch play. Hopefully he will at least become a person that people don't hate.

Widereceiver BrandonMarshall propels the Comets deadly air attack

"Somethink I'm conceited,but I m just confident.I just don't think anyonecan stop me or even D (defend) me up. Nobodyhas provedme wrongyet, anyway.''

Richardson Miron Co-Ediwr in Chief

It's no secret that the Comets are going to throw the ball to wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

Everyone knows it. Opposing players. coaches, and fans know it.

The problem for the defense is trying to stop what they know is coming. Proving to be a feat, that is few and far between.

The 6-foot-J, 180 lbs. sophomore out of Oceanside High is the nation's leading receiver with 1079 total yards through nine games.

Marshall's abilities may impress onlookers, but the way he sees it, there isn't anything he can't do on the football field.

"Some think I'm conceited, but I'm just confident ," Marshall said, "I just don't think anyone can stop me or even D (defend) me up.

"Nobody has proved me wrong yet, anyway," he added.

Such confidence may seem cocky or arrogant. But like the old saying goes, "If you can back it up, it ain't bragging."

And so far, Marshall has done more than back it up, as he has pulled down 58 receptions this season, and IO going for touchdowns.

Nobody is more happy to have Marshall around than sophomore quarterback Tony Alvarez. The onetwo combination, along with star

running back Joe Hall has the Comets leading the nation in total offense as well. "lt is definitely hard for defenses to stop us with all of our weapons,' ' Alvarez said . "And it makes my job a lot easier, having players like Brandon to go to.

"Once you get the ball into his hands, you never know what he is

going to do with it. He has great speed and hands, and he runs his routes right. that's why he is so good," Alvarez said.

Marshall says he finds himself toying with opposing comerbacks at times. He will tell them what route he is running, and he is constantly letting them know just how bad he is going to use them on the

next play.

"I just like to have fun on the field," Marshall said. "I like to talk a lot, and sometimes I'll even tell the defensive back exactly what I'm gonna do to them."

This tactic may work here at Palomar, but Marshall realizes that if he .wants to take his game to the next level, he will have to keep working on and off the field.

'Tm the first in my family who has a chance to get a degree," Marshall said of being close to reaching his educational goals.

"I want to be somebody, and these days you need a college education as well," he added.

Marshall is still unsure of where he will transfer, but he has many options.

He is being recruited from top Division l programs such as Arizona State, Kan as State, and the University of Oregon among others.

But wherever he winds up, he will most likely be catching passes and racking up big time yardage.
