PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Students at the University of Pennsylvania are staging a sit-in outside the president's office as a part of their campaign against the sweatshop manufacturing of goods ' bearing the institution's name and logos. Starting at noon on Feb. 7, 17 students, all members of the University of Pennsylvania Students Against Sweatshops, sat in the foyer outside the presi.fdent's office. On Feb. 8 one protester said that they would remain 11 as long as it takes. 11 The students staged their protest in reaction to a letter from President Judith Rodin. In it, Rodin stated she would not remove the university from the Fair Labor Association, an organization charged with coming up with a code of conduct for the production of collegiate apparel, and join a new group, the Workers' Rights Consortium. ' Rodin's letter stated that the alternative group, which has only four college members, doesn't have enough support. Her thoughts are similar to those expressed by administrators on other campuses. Officials at the University of Chicago have said they need to investigate the WRC further before deciding whether to join it. Student protesters on several campuses have urged their institutions to drop their affiliation with the FLA, which is supported by corporations such as Nike and Reebok. The students favor the consortium, which requires full disclosure of factory locations and independent inspections of those facilities. Students also seem to favor the WRC because it counts the international human rights organization Global Exchange among its members. Rodin issued a statement on Monday night stating that she would determine Penn's participation in either antisweatshop group after she receives a report from a committee made up of students, faculty and administrators. The report is due March 22. Meanwhile students at the University of Chicago have promised to stage protests of their own if officials there don't issue a decision about the WRC by March 1. Penn officials declined Tuesday to say whether they would end the sit-in.

Governing Board considers parking fine increase Laura Mitchell Staff Writer

The Palomar College Governing Board discussed raising parking fines at their regular meeting on Tuesday night, Feb. 8. The biggest fine increase came under the violation of using fraudulent parking permits. "We had about a dozen case~ o[ permit fraud last semester." said Director of Student Activities Bruce Bishop. "Most were isolated incidents, but there was evidence that one student was distributing false permits." Fraudulent parking permit cash fines will increase from $20 to $75. As they have in the past, students will have to purchase a park-

ing permit for $25 and will be suspended. In addition, students will now have to co01plete 40 hours of on-campus community service. The Governing Board discussed whether or not there should be a set time for student suspensions and community service. "I would like to see definite times on the community service and suspensions so we could never be accused of bias," said Governing Board Secretary Robert Dougherty Bishop argued against using specific times for suspension because it allows him to bargain with a student. 'Tve been able to get cooperation," ~aid Bishop, using the example of a student last semester who

was distributing fraudulent parking permits. "Take my word for it. I will be fair." The increases will make many of Palomar's fines the highest in the county when compared with other colleges. The current fine of $30 for parking in a red zone will be increased to $60. Yellow and green zone fines will increase from $20 to $25 . The $20 fine for no permit will increase to $30 and the $275 fine for parking in a handicapped space will increase to $300. The board will vote on the measure at its next meeting. When approved, the fine increases will take effect immediately.

Class, ID required to use library lab Douglas LeClair Staff Writer

Using the campus computer lab outside of class now requires enrollment in a zero unit class, and two swipes of a PIC card. Students must enroll m CNED 637 [Community Education] section # 41859 in order to qualify to use the computer lab. Students are encouraged to usc their PIC card in scanning in and out, but Palomar ID numbers can be keyed in by an attendant instead. Dr. Haydn Davis, academic technology coordinator, said the state of California provides funding for the lab based on the number of full-time students. Davis said tracking the hours students spend in the computer lab would provide leverage to obtain more funding to purchase more resources. "Unfortunately, good resources are expensive. Palomar's revenue comes almost exclusively from the state of California," Davis said. 'The formula used provides about $12,000 for each UC student, about $8,500 per student at the Cal State colleges, about $5,000 for each K-12 student, and about $3,000 for each community college student," Davis said. "One of the ways we can obtain more revenue is to docu-

ment to the state how much time students spend in our computer lab. Ultimately, we hope, we will receive more funds to pur. chase equipment and software for students to use." According to Davis, the total number of hours students used in the lab per semester is reported to Palomar's director of enrollment services. Davis said use of the lab by classes does not require card swiping, and is not counted in the total hours. Myrna Valencia has been designated as the temporary lab supervisor. "It has been going very well. Out of 1,300 students enrolled in the system we have only received four complaints," Valencia said. Valencia said the computer system will automatically log out students who forget to swipe out after two hours. "I really don't mind the new procedure," said Manny Arias, a Palomar freshman. "As .iong as it doesn't interfere with my using the Jab." Davis explained, "This procedure we're implementing is not the best solution. After a semester or so we will objectively evaluate the results and make modifications as necessary. If, indeed, students are deprived and not helped, we will discontinue the policy."

The bathrooms in the E Building were closed on Monday, Feb. 7, because a water pipe was broken as construction crews continued the infrastructure project. The bathrooms are now open. The bathrooms in the NO Building, on the north end of campus, are currently closed because there is not enough water pressure to run them. The Facilities Department said they hope to have them open in a few weeks.

Recognizing a need for proficiency in the payroll field, four agencies have teamed up to provide a new training program. Palomar College, Chapman University, the American Payroll Association and the Holmes Corporation will provide a threecourse program leading to certification as a payroll professional. "Every industry pays employees, so a certified payroll professional can pick any industry," said Teri Safranek, manager of worksite education and training at Palomar. An individual may pay for the training, or a company may choose to train its employees through the program. "The training is well-worth the $400-$500 fee for each course, because ultimately the increased skill level will ensure that the payroll function is performed properly," she said. The courses are designed for people already in payroll-related fields who want to become more proficient or change careers. "As employees take hold of their own destinies, the easiest way to assure a future job or the ability to change jobs easily is to carry a professional certificate in your back pocket," Safranek added. The courses are taught in the evenings and on Saturdays. For details, call Safranek at 760-7441150 extension 2826, or Mimi Murray at Chapman University at 619-908-6022.

Show looks to endless horizon It's time to lean back, look up and soak it in as Palomar's planetarium offers its spring seminar series. ''The Endless Horizon" will appear on Feb. 18. Narrated by Patrick Stewart, the show examines the link between exploration and scientific discovery, and the resulting advances in scientific theory, technology, and our concept of the universe. Beginning March 3, "The Red Planet" will fill the screen. Since the 1877 discovery of the first "canali," Mars remains the most controversial of planets. This seminar will examine the possibility of life on our solar system's most Earth-like planet. Additional shows on March 10 and 17. There's a $3 fee for adults and $2 for children ages 5-12 and students with a valid PIC. Children under 5 are not admitted. The shows are often crowded, so reservations are recommended. All shows begin at 7 p.m. and, weather permitting, a night sky viewing at 8 p.m. For reservations and information, call (760) 744-1150, ext. 2833. Bob Odie Staff Writer

Online classes option for many Douglas LeClair Staff Writer

With a point and click of the mouse on the submit button, the test results appear instantaneously on the screen. The technology is called distance learning, and although experts tout it as the future of education, this option is already available at Palomar. Distance learning allows students to take classes and receive full credit, but rather than going to class they log-in virtually via a secure connection from their home computer. During the fall 1999 semester, Palomar offered 23 Internet-based distance learning classes encompassing every discipline from administration of justice to sociology. With Internet distance learning classes, tests and lectures are dispersed online, and students are able to create their own web pages. The online software Palomar uses allows students to exchange files, upload assignments, communicate through message boards and virtual chats, as well as follow links to outside supplementary material. "It doesn't matter if I wake up too late because I can go to class at my own time, as early or late as I want to," said Miranda Reyes, a Palomar student who telecommuted to her psychology class from Escondido. "Nobody cares if you're in your pajamas because they can't see you. Because you are in the comfort of

your own home, you can listen to music, eat, or watch TV while you go to class and nobody will mind." Distance learning is not without drawbacks. "Because it is more selfpaced, it is very easy to fall behind," said Reyes. "There also isn't much real-time interaction between students and the teacher except for when both are online at the same time and in the chat room, or unless an oncampus meeting is scheduled with the instructor." Software quirks are the biggest challenge for administrators. Teachers have to find ways to make it fair for students who lose their Internet connection during an exam, and continuously finding ways to stir up interaction. "I both like and feel frustrated by the challenge of doing something quite different," said Haydn Davis, a Palomar professor who conducts an online psychology class. "I like the freedom of not having to be in a certain classroom at certain times on certain days. I like the idea that, by

offering this class online, some students who otherwise could not take a class, can. I like the stimulation of attempting to connect with students using technology." Davis participated in a small group at the college who prepared teachers for online classes. He spent several months adjusting his class lectures to the online environment. Alaina Snyder, a Palomar student currently taking the class said, "The teacher is not able to give you much of the information that is normally learned in the classroom including: stories that relate to the topic, their opinions, and answers to questions. You can't be an auditory-learner and expect it to be easy." "I do not think that distance education will ever completely replace the traditional, campus-based learning experience," Davis said. "I think distance learning, principally Internet-based learning, will become an important complement and supplement to many traditional classes."

Legislating emotion: Prop 22 defines legal commitment

More bureaucratic Y hoops for students ntil recently, students looking for a place to type their papers and check their e-mail have been able to go to the first floor of the library, walk into the computer lab, sit down and start typing away. Those days are gone. Beginning this semester, students seeking an electronic refuge must register in a zero unit class and swipe their Palomar identification card (PIC) twice. According to Palomar officials, this is to keep track of how many people use the lab so the college can get more funding from the state. But there must be a better way to fund the lab. Not all students have a PIC card it is not · required. Nonetheless, it seems every time a student requests a service from the college, a PIC card is needed. The little signs are everywhere - "please show current PIC when requesting services" - at counseling, the Transfer Center, the library, the Wellness Center, computer labs,

etc. It wouldn't be surprising if one day students . will have to show ID to use the restroom. It's also baffling that we now have to register for a class to use the computer lab. Sure, at flrst the bureaucratic logic makes sense- the college will be able to give the state a concrete number of how many people use the lab. But this has never been required before, and other services on campus don' t need a class to receive funding. Students use the library, for instance, day in and day out. No one really knows how many people use the facility, yet it is still funded. And what about the students who aren't able to register for the zero unit class? PAR is not the most reliable system in the world, and many students are still having trouble adding and dropping classes. So far, the computer lab hasn't received very many complaints, but we should be outraged that we have to jump through yet another hoop to complete our education.

ou 've likely seen them recently: garish blue and yellow weeds dotting highways, marring neighbors' lawns and entreating you to "protect marriage." I refer to the "Yes On Proposition 22" signs proliferating the county. Proposition 22, also called the "California Defense of Marriage Act" or the "Protection of Marriage Initiative" is an initiative statute that would add "a provision to the Family Code providing that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." It's probably the most straightforward proposition to ever see the ballot. Or is it? Prop 22's proponents state that the initiative carries no hidden agenda, but merely "common sense," i.e., that marriage should exist solely between a man and a woman. Its opponents argue that in Florida and Virginia, similar statutes have been used as legal tools in court to deny hospital visitation or inheritance rights to homosexuals. Proponents reiterate that it is merely common sense, and that opponents' arguments are " unfair and divisive nonsense."

Kevan Wynn

And so it goes. With all of this noise, it's easy to lose sight of the issue that the state has no right other than that "right" which it inflicts upon you and me by brute force - to validate or invalidate one person's love and lifelong commitment to another. As a newlywed myself, I understand completely what it is to feel devotion, to desire lifel ong friendship and romance, and to seek a bond that cannot be matched or superseded by any other. The time at which two adults feel they are ready to share a mutual commitment and to care for each other through sickness and health into old age is the most personal and special of times. Damn anyone who wou ld forbid that. 1 will admit that 1 do not understand

same-sex attraction. I cannot fathom having emotions beyond the parental or fraternal for a member of the same sex. But I cannot accept a Jaw that removes from you the freedom to choose to live your life as you wish, so long as you agree to let others do the same. Here is a personal litmus test I apply to such proposals: does this law threaten your life? Does it restrict your freedom? Does it take from you that which you've worked hard to attain? If the answer to any of these tests is "yes," then it is a law that should never be enacted in a nation that flaunts itself as the "land of the free: · If you choose to vote "yes" on Prop 22, you will not be voting to "protect marriage." You will be voting to support an effort that endeavors to define what type of love and commitment is legal for everyone in this state. Needless to say, I will vote "no" against this un-American encroachment into private lives. But that's just common sense.

Rocker's punishment: P.R. ploy?

t is a case of damage control in a politically correct nation as baseball levies one of the harshest punishments in its history for a non-drug-related offense. By suspending John Rocker until May 1, fining him $20,000 and ordering him to undergo sensitivity training, baseball has publicly taken Rocker to the woodshed. It is clear that baseball wants to distance itself from anything racist, real or perceived. Commissioner Selig said Rocker has "offended practically every element of society." Selig wants baseball to be viewed as taking the high moral ground. Do not be fooled - this is public relations. Selig knows this will be overturned by the players' union, but he wants to come out smelling like a rose with the PC crowd. When I was young, I was taught that a person is judged by what they do, less by what they say, and thinking is free. Why then is Rocker slapped with this severe penalty for saying what he thinks? In recent years, the sports world has seen genuine criminal acts: Roberto Alomar's spitting incident, the drug troubles of Darryl Strawberry and Steve Howe, Dennis Rodman' s kicking a photographer and headbutting an official and the current roster of NFL players charged with murder. And let us not forget the mother of all miscarriages of justice: the Latrell Sprewell incident. Where is the consistency? Where is per-

Bob Odie

sonal accountability? And most of all, when did we go through the looking glass? These guys are jocks, they scratch, they spit and they run fast. How did saintliness get into their job description? Charles Barkley said, "l am not a role model," and he took the flak. He said parents are role models yet the media's reaction was that Charles is shirking his responsibility. If we expect these people to raise our kids, perhaps we are getting what we deserve. Qualities that athletes should deliver to their fans are preparation, appearance, effort and sportsmanship. Beyond that, fans must realize that when taunting athletes, there is a breaking point. Being hit by D-cells, spat upon and doused with beer should not be part of baseball, but no one is fining the fans. Nor is anyone cutting Rocker any slack for having gone through the New York gauntlet. The facts are sad ly the opposite. In this era of political correctness run

amuck, J9hn Rocker was a marked man from the onset. He is big and boorish and it is his emotion that fuels his talent. Rocker, a self-described redneck who speaks his mind, was a naive 24 year old when all this came about. His error was in not seeing it coming. His crime was trusting a journalist. After spending nine hours with Rocker, Sports Illustrated reporter Jeff Pearlman limited his story to the inflammatory. We all know people with Rocker's temperament exist. Why is it important that one of these people is a baseball player? I could understand the significance if the object of this inquisition were a police commissioner or a politician, however, John Rocker will never be in the United Nations, unless he's on a tour. As if paying penance for "last night's etqnic joke," a high profile segment of the media has chosen Rocker as their sacrificial lamb. They have bellowed his heated words into an inferno, and now we all must pay by being just a little more cautious . Anger and ignorance are components of racism, but not the entire recipe. Angry and ignorant: Rocker is both of these. For hypocrisy and cowardice - the rest of the recipe - check with those sanctimonious members of the media.

Confederate flag part of past, not future

bove the capitol building in South Carolina, there flies a relic of a bygone age. A relic that's been hotly debated the past 40 years in the southern part of the United States of America. Recently, the argument has been brought to the attention of the rest of the American public. Civil rights activists, like the NAACP, claim that the Confederate battle flag flying over the capitol of South Carolina is a symbol of hatred and slavery and that it should be torn down. The other side claims that the flag is a symbol of pride and freedom and that it should remain as it is. Both sides are right and both sides are wrong. l be lieve that, yes, the flag should be removed but not because it is a symbol of racism but because it is a symbol of the worst condition of any country. A condition that threatens to destroy peace and freedom, a condition known as civil war. T he Confederate battle flag design that flies over South Carolina was created in 1863 as an attempt to distance the similarity between the Confederacy and the Union while still keeping the colors of Old Glory.

Jan1es Rolfsen

At the end of the war, the flag was removed from all public places. Less than a hundred years later the flag was raised over the capitol of South Carolina. The state government chose to honor the anniversary of the Southern rebellion of Northern policies, yet timed it perfectly to coincide with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. This "honor" was seen as an attack on African-Americans in the South at that time . They viewed it as a symbol of their ancestor's slavery. They protested and rallied against the flag . The white groups applauded the flag and claimed it was a dedication to the memory of freedom and justice. The flag carried into battle by the Confederates was not a symbol of slavery or even a symbol of freedom. It's a symbol of division, marked by the crossing bars in the middle of the flag. It's a symbol of an attack on the unity that m ade this country great. The flag should be torn down and put where it belongs: in a museum where people can walk by and understand that this is a part of our history and heritage but not a part of our future .

Take a mystic and exotic journey through the turn of the last millennium Evan Blewett ,\rts & Entertainment Editor

A musical comedy of magic and humanity takes center stage as "Pippin," written by Roger 0. Hirson with songs by Stephen Schwartz, arrives at the Howard Brubeck Theatre, Feb. 25-March 12. The play demonstrates a feel for the cultural dynamics of the early '70s, as the radical politics of the '60s turned into an inward journey for many people looking to discover themselves individually. The show features a company of troubadours putting together a play about Pippin, the son of Charlemagne, King of the Holy Roman Empire. Fresh out of the local university, Pippin yearns to experience life and find his great contribution that will give him the ultimate sense of fulfillment. James Flaherty plays the title role, a character trying to live up to the awesome social precedent set by his famous father. "He is in the process of finding his way in life. Everyone who's ever gone through a period in their life where they're been uncertain about their life can relate to the struggles that Pippin goes through," Flaherty said. The story follows Pippin through a variety of adventures: going into battle, politics, revolution and hedonism. After returning from his experiences in war, Pippin, left somewhat empty, vacant and shell-shocked, receives advice from his grandmother Bertha. Played by Gigi Cabaniss, she tells him to live life to the fullest and to enjoy his youth because time goes by so fast. Pippin next looks to women to see if they are the answer Theatre to his life. He experiments with promiscuous sex, and -.;;. .r ,. Preview leads himself to a political life, eventually making the "'"" decision to revolt against his father Charlemagne, played by Chuck Hand, and considers assassinating Pippin him. Directed by Michael Mufson, whose previous by Roger 0. Hirson Palomar productions include "Angel City," "Wireless City," and "The Outlaw Robin Where: Howard Hood," "Pippin" was first presented in 1972 Brubeck in New York City. According Mufson, it Theatre doesn't carry any of the traditional musical When: Feb. 25, 26, styles audiences have grown accustomed 27; March 3, to with Rodgers and Hammerstein or 4, 5,10.11, Gilbert and Sullivan.

As Mufson describes it, she is " a cross between the narrator and Mephisto." From the get-go, she promises the audience a climax never before seen on stage. To that end, the story leads up to a climactic scene in which Pippin is forced to make his big life or death decision about where his life is going to go, and discovers really what the nature of fulfi11ment and happiness is. "Pippin is the humanity of the show, the heart, the soul, and it's his journey," Mufson said, "The Leading Player is all the showmanship, magic, and the razzle-dazzle." The show also features some incredible dancers and fabulous voices, and highlights an eclectic range of music from large ensemble numbers to very personal character songs. Unlike traditional musicals that keep the orchestra in a pit, the orchestra for "Pippin" will be placed toward the back of the stage, providing the poppish sounds of electric guitars and synthesizers, as well as some orchestrated instruments. "It goes along with the theatricality, the idea that we're putting on a show, that we're not pretending that this is reality," Mufson said. Other players in the cast include Jennifer Mandala as Fastrada, Charlemagne's second wife and Pippin's stepmother; George Gonzalez as Lewis, Fastrada's son; Saskia Saffir as Catherine, Pippin's love; and Braden McKinley as Theo; Catherine's son. Also in the cast are the ensemble players. who include Jennifer Clourtier, Paul Hanegan, Adriana Laubarri, Marilyn McGurk-Ormsby, Keith Stevens and Noelle Watson. They fill out the action with quick. snappy roles. A Web site has also been set up for the performance, which can be accessed at http://www. palomar.edu/perf_arts. Opening night is Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. Evening performances will be Feb 26, March 3, 4, 10 and 11 at 8 p.m. There will be three matinee performances Feb 27, March 5 and 12 at 2 p.m. Photos Courtesy of the Performing Arts Department Tickets are $6 for students with ID, $8 for seniors and staff and $10 for general audience.

~ean O'Connor Feature Editor

More than 200 people viewed the works of four California artists in the "California Reflections" exhibition at the Boehm Gallery, Friday,

Feh 4, The four featured artists were Ben Sakaguchi, Holly Stowell, Suong Yangchareon and John Asaro, Sakaguchi developed a highly original style using postcards and old fruit labels as his signature motif. Using picture postcard-like scenes he makes his point. He does t,he same with fruit labels, especialthose found or orange crates. To these Sakaguchi appends quotations, sometimes biting, sometimes witty, sometimes ironic - all with ~enchant social commentary. · :His paintings are realistic, at times photographic. Sakaguchi uses , :.U.ong contrasting colors, especially orange and yellow. All are done in acrylic on canvas 15 by 24 inches or $mailer. He had about 200 disP.fayed in the gallery. Over 100 of the postcard paint-

ings focused on the Japanese intern experience during World War II. The stamps were franked with addresses such as Topaz, Utah, Rivers, Ariz,, Robwer, Ark., Manazar, Calif. and others. One postcard depicted Lt. Daniel Inouye, a United States Senator, in his Army uniform. He lost his arm in the Italian campaign. Written below the painting were the words, "He was refused a haircut in Oakland after World War 11. The barber told him, 'We don't cut Jap hair,'" There was a postcard of a tarpaper high school in the internment camp with two graduates standing outside. The signatures of the students attending the school covered the postcard, reminding one of a senior yearbook. He also had an acrylic of his Issei - first generation Japanese father. On the painting he said the Japanese were allowed to become American citizens as late as 1952. His father came to the United States before the 1924 "Yellow Exclusion Act."

There were an additional 100 or more "orange crate" acrylics. The subjects were more wide ranging than the postcards, touching upon religion (The Shroud of Turin, the Pope), the environment (slaughtering tigers and elephants), Martin Luther King, k, various scenes of Pari and depictions of the U.S. 'noir' soldiers in France. during World War I. Another painter at the exhibition, Holly Stowell, a watercolorist, favored city night scenes in "'Desert Moon," ·'John's Grill," and "Down and Out" where she draws a gloomy, lonely Chicago street leading to a dingy hotel. She skillfully blends blues and reds and yellows. George Patciak, an art teacher at El Camino High School in Oceanside, commented on Stowell's "Street Life,'' "It's great. Wonderful composition. It's perspective draws me into the light and holds me there," One exception to Stowell's eerie night street scenes in the city is a restful scene of yellow, almost adobe-like homes on a lake with

reflections shimmering in the blue water in twilight. Perhaps the scene is not California. It is called "Kalispera Poros," or "Beautiful

Evening by the Pond." The third artist is the Los Anglesbased Thai painter, Suong Yangchareon. He paints late afternoon urban settings, The streets in his paintings are often empty and flooded with the shadows of trees and empty buildings, Looking at "G Street," one of Yangchareon's oils, Taeyo Kipayaiwa, a student from Japan said she was impressed by the blue sky, the lines of clouds and the play of shadows in the street. She also said there is a feeling of emptiness or loneliness in the painting. Another of Yangchareon's oils is "Giant Penny Store." Like her other paintings, this resembles the style of Edward Hopper. Hopper's style is quiet, reflective, melancholic, pensive, sometimes vacant, restful and distant The street is filled with shadows. Unlike her other paintings, some people are depicted here, but the feeling of loneliness seeps through. The final artist displayed in the Boehm Gallery is the internationally known John Asaro. Asaro's works have been called "Paintings with Light." One of his paintings, "Roman Palms," an oil on canvas is full of bright Orange. He has several paintings of young girls, "Devon" is an oil of a young girl surrounded by flowers and greenery with apples on the table, "Girl with Oranges" is

similar, but in "Devon" she is basking in the sunshine of an orange grove. In both paintings the girls have a quiet, pleasant smile, "Red Bravura" has a teenager surrounded by red light. "Moonlight Beach," is full of light. The ocean seems to fill the background with blue and white waves, Standing at the shore is a young woman, looking at the water. She holds a baby in her arms. Another baby plays in the sand. They are all facing the sea. The viewer is drawn to the sea. "It's my favorite painting," Wendy Hall from Leucadia said. She thought the painting was reminiscent of the 1930s because of the style of the hat. Hall was mesmerized by the movement and the color of the ocean, "It has lots of light," Hall said. Asaro loves the sunshine, the seashore, the fruit trees - in short, the full light of day. His paintings are at once romantic and impressionistic. The Boehm Gallery is open Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The exhibition is open from February 4 through February 26. Admission is free and open to the public.

PORTS Comets could transfer over 20 players Cicero, Cash and McElrath committed to top college programs Richardson Miron Sports Editor

For football coach Tom Craft, this is the most rewarding time of year. It's when he gets to watch the players he has coached move on, and transfer to fouryear schools to continue their football careers. "Right now I'm not aware of anybody who has as visible a program as ours, as far as recognition locally, statewide or even nationally when it comes to the success of our program based on wins," Craft said. "But what separates us and what makes us the leader, I think, is that nobody has transferred as many player as we have in the last three years," he said. The fourteenth year coach is dead on, as his program has been a national lea.der transferring 18 players in 1998, 17 in I 999, and has a chance to move

over 20 student athletes this year. Among the players leaving Palomar is second team JC Grid-Wire AllAmerican quarterback Greg Cicero. The 6-foot-5, 220 pound star is transferring to Baylor University, where he will have a chance to be an immediate starter. After transferring to Palomar at the start of '99 season from the University of Texas, Cicero will return to the "Lone Star" state instead of playing at Temple University which was the other finalist for his services. Cicero, who is among a long list of successful Palomar quarterbacks, threw for 2,505 yards in 10 games during the regular season and amassed 32 touchdown passes to lead the nation. No other Comet received as much attention, however, as cornerback Chris Cash. The 5-foot-10, 167 pound All-Mission Conference selection was recruited by national powerhouses Ohio State, Michigan, and Washington, respectively, before choosing to play for the University of Southern California. "Chris Cash was probably our most recruited football player this season," Craft said. "He had some awfully good options available to him, probably as good as any player we have ever had." Another standout moving to the Pacific 10 is wide receiver Nakoa McELrath. The 6-foot-3, 215 pound JC Grid-Wire honorable mention will be playing at Washington State University next season. McElrath led the Comets with 56 receptions for 1,128 yards and 12 touchdowns during the season, and also totaled 244 yards on I 0 kickoff returns. McElrath says that coming to Palomar was a great move because it helped him become a more complete football player

in many ways. "Coach Craft taught me more discipline and how to be a better team player," McElrath said. San Diego State benefitted the most, however, from the Palomar roster. The Aztecs snatched up three former Comets in free safety Garret Pavelko, linebacker Dylan Robles and guard David Moreno. Pavelko (Torrey Pines High School) was the only Comet who was a JC GridWire First-team All-American. He had an offer to play for Michigan, but decided to stay home and play for the Aztecs next season. Robles and Moreno (both from Poway High School) should have a chance to be immediate starters at SDSU. Robles, who was the '98 Mission Conference Defensive Player of the Year also visited USC. Other players who committed are kicker Tommy Kirovsky (University of Arizona); tackle Talo Tavale (University of Utah); tight end J.R. Suguturaga

Hard spikes ahead for men's volleyball Arlene Martinez Assisrant Sports Edttor

Palomar's men's volleyball team may not consist of the tallest players, but Head Coach Hugh Gerhardt is optimistic about his team's chances. "We are a very good, hardworking team. We won't have the most talent but we can make up for it with desire,"

Gerhardt said. The club returns tluee players from last season's 6-13 team. In a tough league that includes perennial powerhouses Golden West and Orange Coast, PalomaJ will have to work hard to stay on top. The defense will be led by middle blockers Dan Evans (RBV) and Kevin Merrill. Evans may be looking for all-

league honors this season. Merrill returns to the team after a one-year absence, which he spent in Israel. ''We're expecting these guys to enforce the net," Gerhardt said. "Our strengths have to be defense and passing. We have to make up for our lack of height." The Comets opened the season at the Long Beach Invitational on Feb. 5,

where they finished 1-3. Evans played well at the tournament as he racked up 28 kills. Bostrom had a solid performance as well with 26 kills "We played good. There were flashes of brilliance," Gerhardt said. The clubs home opener is Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. against Irvine Valley.
