ing for the past seven years," Ellis stated at the meeting . The main issue has been funding for Palomar's lots. "We have a budget of about $ l 0,000 a year that we've been using to do upgrade our lots as we go along," said Ellis. "and it docsn 't go very far." There has been a delay in hiring Palomar's new Police Department. and Ellis suggested the College use the saved funds towards upgrading the lights. "There should be a savings from the parking fee increase, right now the amount is $30,000," Ellis said. "If we ad that to our $10,000 we could effectively have $40,000 to fix these problems this fiscal year." Some of the planned changes arc switching some two lamp fixtures to four lamps, doubling the light. And as the infrastructure project moves through the campus, 65 new light poles will be added, almost doubling the amount of light poles. Upgrading the lots docs have upgraded costs. "Doubling the lights doubles elec trical and maintenance costs," said Ellis.

Tom Chambers On March 24 the United States and NATO began bombing in Yugoslavia. The reason for the bombing is to stop the Serbian president, Slobodan Milosevic, from cleansing his neighboring province of Kosovo of ethnic Albanians. Kosovo, a province of Yugoslavia, is considered to be the birth place of ethnic Serbs, the group to which Milosevic be longs. While support for the military campaign in the Balkans is growing in the United States, many U.S. citizens don't understand the reasons for and the history of the conflict. "I don't even know where Kosovo is," said Palomar student Sandy Baker, "Or even why we are fighting there ." The Balkans , an area north-west of Greece across the Adriatic Sea from Italy , has been a fought over land for centuries. From 395 the Christian Orthodox Byzantine Empire ruled the area ll rll I the Muslim Ottoman Empire took con trol of the region in 1389 with the Battle of Kosovo. During the period of Ottoman reign, much of Bosnia converted to Islam , while Slovenia and Croatia remained Roman Catholic. The Turkish invaders slaughtered many Serbian nobles and gave their land to Muslim immigrants and converts, beginning the period of Muslim oppression of the Christian Slavs. By the early 1800s the Ottoman Empire was retreating. The Russians defeated the Ottomans in 1829 , granting Serbia partial inde pendence. Russia was again victorious in the Crimean War and lierated Bulgaria in 1878 , pushing the Ottomans almost completely out of Europe. In the same year, the Treaty of Berlin. which finally ended the conflict with the Ottomans, was signed, giving Serbia complete independence and placing Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia under the rule of Austria-Hungary . As the 1900s began Serbia aspired to be the regional power, threatening Austria -Hungary's hold on Croatia and Slovenia . On June 2 8, I 914 a Serb nationalist in Bosnia assassinated Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand Ill Sarajevo. Austria and Serbia quick ly declared war , and their allies (France, Britain and Russia for the Serbs; Germany and Ottoman Empire for the Austro-Hungarians) joined the conflict, thus beginning World War I. The Serbs and their allies (includ ing the United States) won the war and were given the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes with Peter I, a Serb, on the throne. Peter I died shortly after in 1921, givin g c.:ontrol lo his son , Alexander . Alexander placed Serbs in key posi tions throughout the Balkans, instilled Eastern Orthodox as the official religion , and Se rbo -Croat as the official language. In 1929 he renamed the entire region "Yugoslavia " and made himself the supreme leader. Durin g his reign Alexand e r suppre ssed Croatian nationalists.

Concerns raised by the Associated Student Government about the lack of lighting in Palomar parking lots were confirmed at the March 23 Governing Board meeting.

Speak Out! What do you think about NATO's bombing against Yugoslavia? Do you support it or should it be stopped?
Jessica Loredo Accounting "I don't think NATO should be doing as much as what they are doing now. They shouldn't bomb Yugoslavia."

■ Yugoslavic President, Slobodan Milosevic shut down all independent news sources within reach of Yugoslavian citizens when NATO officials announced that Serbian delegates were not cooperating with peace talks - Hitler also controlled the German media.
■ The Serbian government recently released film footage of Milosevic meeting with an ethnic Albanian leader for what the Serbian government called a peaceful solution despite outside involvement - according to NATO, the film footage was outdated by two years. ■ Despite airstrikes on Kosovo, Milosevic held a rock concert in the center of Belgrade where Serbians accused the United States of practicing genocide - U.S. and Nato intervention was prompted by proof of "ethnic cleansing" on the part of the Serbians .

In 1992, ca ndidat e Bill Clint on ridiculed the Bush administration for rocusing too much on foreign affairs. Seven years later President Clinton has comm itted U.S. military forces to more places on the globe than any of his predecessors. Now Clinton has committed the United States to solve a conflict that has lasted for more than 600 years. The question or whether or not the United States should be invo lved is irrelevant at this point, because we are involved. The question now is how to win, if winning is our objective. Up to this point it has been hard to tell. President Clinton seems to think that if we keep lobbin g bombs into Yugoslavia that Slobodan Milosevic will give up, and quit. It is doubtful, however, that Milosevic wi II do that. At the heart of the confl ict is the sma ll province of Kosovo: hol y ground to the Serbs and home to the Albanians. Serbian President Milosevic has had his eye on Kosovo for more than 20 years, and the Serbs have wanted it since it was created in 1974. To think that by bombing Milosevic's forces we can cause him to retreat is ignorant, if not irresponsible. Even if Milosevic does back off now, we can be sure to see him going after Kosovo and the Albanians again
(i.e. Saddam Hussein). So what is the United States and NATO to do? We must commit to victory. The staled goals of NATO's mission are to give Kosovo autonomy and return the Albanian refugees to their homes. A goal President Clinton said he is "pretty sure" can be accomplished. If our Commander in Chief is only "pretty sure" we can accomplish our goa ls, why are we putting American lives at risk? The truth is we can accomplish our goals, but it requires a stronger commitment than the half-hearted effort we have shown so far. We have been promised that NATO will not send ground troops, however, to 'push Milosevic back and liberate Kosovo ground troops will be needed. We cannot expect the growi ng number of refogees lo return lo their country without ground support, and any threats to the Serbs without ground support are made in vain. The scariest part of sending ground troops is how the Clinton Administration is runnin g this campaign. It seems that the president has yet to plan what we will do next week. When asked by the Italian Prime Minister what NATO would do if the bombing didn't work, Clinton was unable to provide an answer, and he is still promis ing no use of gro und troops. Clinton 's promise may be based on the fact that U.S. forces are already
spread thin, peacekeeping in Bosnia, Rwand a, Haiti, Korea, etc. But if we are committed to victory, we will have to commit troops to accomplish our goals. Of course, by sending ground troops Clinton is breaking a promise, but that is something Americans have come to expect. But this may be a promise worth breaking. Neighboring countries are bursting at the seams with the refugees flowing out of Kosovo, so NATO is now relocating them to other countries hoping that soon we will be able to take them back home. But if the United States doesn't commit to this soon, there may not be a Kosovo for the refugees to return to. And how do we get out of Kosovo once we feel "pretty sure" about having accomplished our goals? As of now there is no answer. If this ends with Milosevic still in power we aren't even close to accomplishing our goals. There have been numerous comparisons to the war in Vietnam. Those same comparisons were made in 1991 duri ng the Gulf War, but George Bush proved the doubts unfounded by committing to victory, focusing on the objective of liberating Kuwait, stepping aside and letting the generals run things. President Cl inton would be wise to do the same, but he has not shown a willingness to do so. Where 's George Bush when we need him ?
Great Gas-Out of '99 can be generation's legacy Y
outh activism isn't what it used to be. In the 60'people our age would have sit-in, marches and do whatever it took to fight against the war or fight for equa l rights. Some of them did it out of genuine concern for society while others did it just to feel import ant or to have somet hing to do. No matter what the reason, the baby boomer generation great ly raised the bar for ours and future generations. Because of this pressure our generation has a need to feel just as important as our predecessors did. In order to demonstrate our social awareness we attempt to have deep discussions on major issues , we dabb le in environm entalism, engage in lukewarm debates about abortion and the death penalty and pronounce idealistic views openly just to hear our own voice. No matter what we do, it all seems to fall flat because, put simp ly. there isn't much to fight for anymore . Well, that problem will soon be a distant memory as I introduce the signat ure cause of our genera tion. This is something that affects all of us and that everyone can truly get behind. Gasoline. You've all expe rienced it. You're driving somewhere in North County and that little fuel light begins to blink on your dash. So you pull over at the nearest Exxon or Texaco and gasp in horror at the obscene figure on the price sign. So running on fumes. you head down Mission Avenue to the 7- 11 next to the
dairy that usually plays_host to the lowest prices in town and once again gasp at the equally offensive price. Cursing your lot in life, you have to fill your vehicle with what used to be the cheap stuff and simply hope things will chan ge. Right now some Middle Eastern oil tycoon is sitting in his gold-p lated house on his gold -plated lazy-boy watching his goldplated big screen television. He's tuned in to CNN and laughing his gold-plated ass off at all the Americans lined up to pay for his next fleet of gold-p lated Mercedes Benzes. Sitting next to him, laughing just as hard, are all the CEOs from every major fuel company in the United States. They ' re laughing because they know the p1ice is high and they know that you're going to lie down for whatever price they set. Sure they say the price is due to prob lems on their end and that they are concerned about your problems . But [ think it's safe to say that the oil industry doesn't care one bit about your problems.
The only thing the oil industry cares about is the amount of cash in its pocket. So I think the answer is simple. Take it from them. Simply stop buying so much gas. I know what you're saying. "I have to get to work and school." Well in 1955 and 1956 a whole lot of people in Montgomery, Ala. had to use the bus to get to work but for 38 1 days found a way not to use it. Don 't get me wrong. I'm not asking you to stop driving. Just make a statement. April 30 there is going to be a statewide,gas-out. That means you don't buy gas that day. Another statement you can make is by not buying gas on Fridays. Simply by doing those two things you will be able to give the greedy Middle East oil industry an old-fashioned American lesson in supply and demand . But why slop there. While you're at it you might as well go the extra mile (not in your car of course.) Start car pooling, riding your bike, taking the bus, or maybe even picketing gas stat ions. (Any vulgar signs on your car about the oil industry can be both effective as well as entertaining.) Whatever you do, stop accepting the situation and sitting around whining about it. Show the baby boomers that our generatio n can make some waves too. Who knows, someday you may be able to tell your grandchildren about the Great Gas-out of '99.

• Outfielder Barry Schell has a different style field, but there is no arguing with his producti omet outfielder Barry Schell isn't your typical college baseball player. The burly slugger has several quirky attributes that leave some observers scratching their heads. For starters, Schell uses a wooden bat, while teammates and opponents are using aluminum. To many, this might seem a bit silly. Aluminum bats are considered an advantage to hitters, because they are lighter, which provides more bat speed and power. Schell doesn't care what others think. He has always liked the wooden bat better, so he decided to make a change mid-way through the season. And it has payed off. "I'm hitting over .400 since I changed," Schell said. "Some guys might loose some power with wood, but I don't. So I just said 'why not' and I'm glad I

Yes, that's right...gardening gloves. Anyone who watches the game will tell you, that from the big leagues on down to tee ball, this is unheard of. · But Schell doesn't care if he's different. "They feel comfortable, and they only cost $5 and they last five times as long," Schell joked when asked about his different style. The idiosyncrasies of funny gloves and bats doesn't really matter, however, when your able to produce like Schell has this season.

:Despite the fact that it was the f irst time the gro up h~d played together in front of an audi enc e, 26 th Movement rocked the Student Un ion March 23 dur• i"g Springfest. •, The hardcore Poway punk hand has heen together r~r three months, and they made their stage debut at tile annual event put on by the Associated Stude nt qovernrncnt. ;"It was a lot of fun playing on camp us," sa id lead. guitarist/vocalist Ted Apo llo. "We really think th e ,_;SG did a good joh of putting thi s thing together. •,"It was a great opportunity. to Iet stud e nt s sho w their talents and get some good expos ur e,'' Apo llo did. :Three other bands played in th e Stude nt Union with 2C1th Movement, including The C lassified. Go d Rocket and Skatomic Bomb. :students enjoyed a ll of the music and festivities, t·fidcnccd by the strong showing o f on lookers who st'l.1ppcd to watch the affair. :'J6th Movement's aggressive sty le and some tim es t:;ntroversial lyric,; were the highlight of the show h~1wever, as the group played eight of their own
track s. and covered a Bad Religion so ng . The band gave ou t 80 free CDs and had many stud ents sign on to a mailing li st. The band was att emp tin g to try a nd get the band's message out to stud ents who probabl y would never have a c hance to hear 26 th Movement. "T he reason why we play music is because it is a platform to express our message ...we ju st want to try and make people aware of what we think abo ut wha t 's go ing on in the wor ld." Apollo sa id . "T he things that people are not supp ose to ta lk abo ut lik e politics and religion . are the two most important things that a democracy shou Id be talk ing about," he added. The band co nsists of two brothers Tom (drums) and Ted Apo llo (lead g uit ar/voca ls), Karl Kearn on voca ls, and Brian Mcfalls as bass g uit aris t. The Apollo brothers both attend Palomar Co llege. Kearn agrees tha t playing in the St ud en t Union was a great experience for the ba nd, and for Palomar stud en ts . "I was really g lad this is where we made our debut," Kearn said . "It see med lik e people were e njoying it, and it was a grea t chance to speak o ur hand's message ."
Are you havin g punk withdrawal? If your answer is yes, but yo u aren 't sure how to fix your problem, you need to hea d o n down to your c lo ses t music stor e, a nd pick up th e new Unwritten Law se lf titl e d CD. From th e first song "Harmonic" to th e la st "Ge no c ide" you'll be foving th e new so und of Unwritten Law on lnt erscope Records. They have c han ge d s inc e th eir la st album ''Oz Factor", hut let me reass ur e you it' s for the bett er. Yes, 12 new si ng a lo ng songs, a nd it's true th ey don't so und as punk as th ey were before, lik e on "B lu e Room " the ir fir s t album which de but ed in 1994 . But that doesn't me an th ey aren't goo d. The new so ng that 's been g ive n the most air play is probably "Teenage Suicide" which is th e seco nd track abo ut , you g uesse d it , a tee na ge suicide. Scott Ru sso the s in ge r and so ngwr it er for Unwritten Law, displays a variety of vocal sty les on thi s new album. es p ec ially in the so ng "Ca liforni a Sky." T he lyric s flow wel I. and the mu sic ha s an original so und. S teve Morris th e youngest of Unwritten Law·s guita r pl aye r s joined th e ba nd in the middl e of recording the "B lu e Room." Wade Youman p lays drums and percussion, Rob Brewer plays gu itar . On a more personable point, the next song "C'a ilin " is a lov e so ng for th e g irlfri e nd of a band me mb er. I espec ia ll y lik e thi s so ng because so me people hav e stereo types abo ut punk bands
and their views on women. This song clearly tears down those false impressions of the band member s . But , if you have heard any of UnWritten Law's music before , you'd know they don't fit the mold of disr espec tful musi cians. They show this throu g h their so ng "Suzanne" whi c h is on the CDs "Blue Room " and "Oz Factor. " "Close Your Eye s'' is another of my favorites. this song tell s the sto ry of a skinhead youth who goes out and ge ts beaten up. To a ga ng -oriented teen -ager all dres se d in blue who goes out fla s hin g g an g signs and ends up getti ng shot by a Blood . "L ife ca n get cut s hort /so try to stay in lin e/ you wanna ' be a man/ but thi s shit happen s all the time. " I think this song sends a goo d mes sage to all the young people who list e n to Unwritten Law, telling them that they don ' t have to be in a ga ng, or act to ugh to be cool. The son g "Before I Go" is open to interpretation, but I think it 's about suicide . 'Tm still alive in you/ it 's my time to go/ don't stay up late/ I'm no t afraid/ and I don ' t want your hea rt to brea k. " These songs are about the ba nd 's personal life unlik e in "Oz Factor" and "Blue Room." If you have the other Unwritt en Law CDs a nd you are mi ss ing this one you s hould buy it. If you don ' t hav e a ny Unwritten L aw CDs that just mak es this all the mor e perfect for yo u. The local musi c scene is sti ll grow in g and nee ds your suppo rt to stay that way . So g ive them a list en a nd go hom e happy with Unwritten Law .

There's a new place Lohave lunch in San Marcos, it's called Planet Juice. They offe r 24 smoothies, 14 fresh juices, Seattle's Best coffee, 14 different navors of Ge lalo, baked potatoes, salads and sandwiches. This place is for the health conscience. Planet Juice advertises the potato as the "near perfect food" because it is fat free and full of nutr ients. They also advertise Wheat-grass as a complete food with no toxic side affects. An ounce of Wheatgrass juice costs about a dollar and is probably not worth it. They also sell Nutr itiona l Supplements which cost anywhere from 40 cents to $2.95. The smell of the restaurant is that of Wheatgrass , pungent, like a freshly mown lawn. For those accustomed to the sweetness of brand name juices, the fresh juices Planet Juice makes can taste bland. The names of the juices arc meant to be creative. For example, the Complexion

Beau tifier of cantaloupe juice with strawbeITies. and the Calcium Cocktai l made with carrot. celery and cucumber. Perhaps Planet Juice cou ld create a name for these juices that are more appealing. The baked potato combinations are not any more appealing, except for the Con Queso potato with cheese, sour cream, salsa, olives and red onions. The best way to make a potato. however, is to choose your own topp ings. Potatoes cost $3 .95 to $4.95. The Make Your Own cost $2.50 for a plain potato and toppings range from 50 cents to $ I for each topping. Sandwiches are made only in white or wheat pita bread and are served with lettuce. tomato. red onion. cucumber, olives and sprouts. Cheese costs an extra 40 cents. The sandw iches could use a little help; not everyone likes pita bread, cheese should come with the sandwich and not everyone wants a dollop of mayonnaise or mustard. More impressive, the portions of each topping in the sandwich is generous and the lett uce. tomato, red onion. and cucumber is fresh.

The smoothies and coffee are the best choices that Planet Juice has to offer. The smoothies are made with fresh fruit and fruit juices and some include frozen yog urt. Planet Juice uses Seattle's Best coffee . They offer cappuccinos. lattes, and mochas. as well as other types of coffee. These would be a great treat after an evening around town. Finally, Planet Juice needs to lowe r its prices if it hopes to attract co llege students, adding some flavor to its juices, potatoes and sandwiches. Something should be done about the Wheat-grass smell too. If Planet Juice lowers its prices then it may attract college swdents and not just the middle class, health conscience. If Planet Juice pushes its smoothies and coffee instea,d of its juices then Planet Juice may have a chance at surviving in San Marcos. While the name of the restaurant has appeal. the food and beverages inside lack something to be desired. Good luck to the owners of Planet Juice, who may have been successful in the past, but may not find that success in San Marcos.

continued from page l will have better drainage, new electricity, gas, water and telephone lines and new walkways to improve the look of the campus makeing easier for pedestrians, Ellis said. Much of the project is meant to update Palomar's aged campus. The college was founded in 1946 and major construction has not been done since the '60s. Also, when Palomar was built, it was made to support I 0,000 students. Enrollment at Palomar now exceeds 27,000. An example of why renovation is necessary is that the entire campus is served by a sewer line two inches longer than the average sewer line for a house, Ellis said. "We have 54 buildings feeding into one six-inch line," he said. "We've done all we can to keep it going." The new line installed will be up to 12 inches in diameter and 10 inches at its smallest point. In addition to the technical improvements, the design look of the campus has also been taken into consideration. Students who park in lot 12 have the sense that they are entering from the back of campus, Ellis explained. Project plans call for moving a crosswalk connecting lot 12 lo campus, 20 feet south and planting four palm trees to create a meeting point at a pedestrian intersection between the B and F Buildings.
continuedfro1npage 1 ist group called the Ustachc. The Ustache assassinated Alexander in 1934. Peter 11, heir to the throne, was only 11 so his counsil, Prince Paul, took power and continued the policies of Alexander. As World War Ii began, Paul supported the Nazis despite protests from Peter II. Peter II then asserted his lineage and took control from Paul, however, as the Nazis moved into Yugoslavia in l 94 I. Peter II was forced to flee. The Nazis gave the Ustache control of Croatia, who began to ethnically cleanse the region, killing hundreds of thousands of Serbs. Two rebellions resulted in this. one led by Peter II and another by communist Jm,ip Broz Tito of Croatia. Tito overthrew the Ustache and established ~ the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1945 consisting of six republics: Bosn ia-Hcrzegovi na, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovenia. In 1974, in order to control Serb int1u ence, Titio created two autonomous (self-governing) provinces - Vojvodina, made up largely of Hungarians: and Kosovo, made up largely of Albanians. After Tito died in 1980, the six republics in Yugoslavia began to come apart. Leading the way was Serbian Slobodan Milosevic, who became the Serb republics president by fueling anger over the
fact that ethnic Albanians were the overwhelming majority in Kosovo, the Serbian "holy land." Going into the 1990s fighting was destablilizing the entire region. By the fall of I9<.? I the Croat, Serb . and Muslim citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina were fighting a civil war. Bosnian Serbs sought to join with Milosevk's Serbia to create a "Greater Serbia" while Bosuia declared itself a sovereign nation. Backed militarily by Serbia, the Bosnian Serbs began killing Croats and Muslims in Bosnia in order to ''ethnically cleanse" the region. ln 1992 the United Nations began sending humanitarian aid to besieged cities. The Bush administration refused to interveue in the civil war, and for its first few years the Clinton administratiou held the same policy. After many attempts at peace and NATO airstrikes in Bosnia-Herzegovina the Dayton Accord was signed, r-plitting Bosnia up geographically amongst the different ethnic groups, with each trading power. p fn 1997, ethnic Pristinae SOmile; Albanians in l<.osovo ,r■ )r threw off the rule of i~,A - F Slobodan Milosevic ()Skop j¾I _Al and elected their own government.
