Palomar student Jessica Hood thinks students benefit from the practice.

"It helps them to become more wellrounded individuals," she said.

"I think it would be good," agrees Laurence Meyerowitz, another Palomar College student, "but at the same time, college students don't have as much time as they did in high school. There's a lot more work at college than there is at high school."

In February of 1999, State Senator John Vasconcellos introduced Senate Bill 919. Called the Master Plan for Service Learning, the bill would require the California Postsecondary Education Commission to work with California colleges "to make service learning a more rigorous component of higher education and to determine whether or not service learning should be a requirement for

If you plan to graduate from a California college two years from now, you may have to work for it.

Last April, Governor Gray Davis annou nced his support for mandatory "service learning," a plan that would make community service a graduation requirement for California college students. Davis said students have no sense of obligation to the future or appreciation for what they have inherited.

An argument in favor of service learning is students are potentially given the opportunity to gain experience in their chosen fields of study while fulfilling a

· The educational television department (ETV) of Palomar· College with the PBS Adult Learning Service conducted a live satellite broadcast on "Emerging Issues in Accreditation, Moving toward a Culture of Evidence" Thursday, Feb. 24.

Experts on accreditation who took part in the satellite broadcast were: Constance Carroll, president of Mesa College and member of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges; David Wolf, member of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges; Peter Ewell of the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems; Ira Lechner of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

Judith Eaton, President of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation made presentations for each of the five major topics on tape.

William Flynn, dean of community learning resources at Palomar College, moderated the panel.

The panel discussed the traditional accreditation methods, the movement 'toward competency-based education, how growing assessment practices will affect traditional teaching, how 'accreditation practices will deal with distance education and the Internet ·and other forms of education "outside of the college," and the future of alternative accreditation systems.

Palomar College will have new rules regulating student and visitor expression if the Governing Board passes a policy at its March 14 meeting.

The new Student and Visitor Symbolic Expression Policy and Procedures, written by Bruce Bishop, interim director of student activities, were unanimously approved by the President's Advisory Council (PAC) on Feb. 15.

"People should feel free to express their opinions," said Dr. George Boggs, president/superintendent of Palomar College. "I think our past guidelines were too restricted, I feel pretty good about (the new policy)."

"Everyone gave input," Bishop said.

Accreditation, then and now...

Analysis Sean J. o•connor Feature Editor

The times, they are a changing.

And so is the way colleges are receiving accreditation.

College administrators really don't know what to do except talk about the twists and turns of a new way of accrediting colleges. They are stymied by the changes taking place both in academia and society.

Traditionally, accreditation takes place every ten years.

In the accrediting process, the college redefines or sharpens its goals based on its philosophy. The accrediting agency then supplies the college with a set of norms for their programs, courses and their resources.

The college throws itself into a massive selfstudy, department by department, facility by facility, course by course. It counts the number see ACCREDITATION, page 3

continued from page 1 of books and periodicals in its library. It measures the number of hours per course. It rewrites many of its programs. The self-study may be the most valuable part of the program.

When the time finally comes, fac\l;ty members and administrators from sister institutions visit the campus for a week of evaluation.

They study the documents of the college, interview administrators, faculty and students and come up with recommendations for the college.

The college then tries to implement the recommendations.

More often than not, when the accrediting team leaves the campus there is generally a sigh of relief.

Faculty members relax a bit and life gets back to normal as they try to implement the changes at a reason2. /le pace. The next visit will be in ten years, a long way off.

This is a thumbnail sketch of the process of traditional accreditation.

Today, other developments are emerging.

Six leading educators took part in a nationally televised conference at P~1lomar College Feb. 24 to discuss the theme of newly emerging methods of accrediting community colleges. The educators expressed uneasiness about what is presently going on with accreditation. Much of that discomfort comes from the new technologies and new ways of t..arning.

Judith Eaton of the Council of Higher Education is worried. She said if accrediting agencies don't hold themselves accountable, the federal government will step in and direct the process. Others agreed.

Peter Ewell from the National ('enter for Higher Education pointed to the gradual erosion of grades and the importance of academic degrees. He said if we don't watch out, we will find national standards imposed by government.

While historically degrees and certificates have been tested benchmarks in education, there will be a need for something different in the future, David Wolf from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges said. He said there is an increasing focus on learning outcomes which appear to look a lot like competencies.

Constance Carroll, president of Mesa College and member of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, senses a lack of confidence in modem education that permeates all of education.

What is our problem? "We don't know," Carroll said.

In a discussion about problems of current learning, Carroll made the observation from an accrediting point of view we have a long way to go before we feel comfortable about the process.

There are many reasons for this lack of confidence. The influence of the Internet is one of them.

Distance Education is another.

"Life experience" is another. Ira Lechner from the Council of Higher Education Accreditation said the job itself often provides a training program for employees and students. Some companies even have "corporate universities."

How we assess the Internet experiences, Distance Education, onthe-job or "life experiences" and transfer them to other institutions seems to be a stumbling block. It is called the "portability" problem.

Just as some cannot take their pension along with them to another job, many students cannot take these life experiences and use them in another institution.

Why? Assessment. Many times it is difficult to package these experiences in such a way that other institutions can codify them. The jury is still out on portfolios, anecdotal evidence, job evaluations and other assessment tools as far as some

institutions are concerned.

More and more we seem to be moving away from the ordinary classroom toward "learning outcomes," "competencies," or "performance outcomes." In short, the learning paradigm. In the future; we may have an more interaction between the traditional classroom and the classroom "outside the walls."

The panel also had a lot to say about gathering data, involving faculty leaders in the process and the value of self-study in preparation

for the accreditation process.

The future is going to be much different from the past. There will be, in Carroll's words, a great need for self-study which looks not only inward but beyond the groves of academia to the world where the students will work, vote, learn and live their lives. There is a need for the college to follow the students and reassess its own practices in light of its findings.

In all probability, the idea of an accrediting process that takes place every tenth year is gone. It may be an annual process of self-study and planning, involving many more faculty, students, trustees, administrators and members of the community.

William Flynn, dean of community learning resources at Palomar College, coordinated the televised conference.

Editorial New speech policy, same old restrictions

P

alomar's Governing Board · will soon vote to revamp the longstanding rules on "symbolic expression." In English, these are the guidelines that spell out when and where you can express your views on campus, as well as how many posters, banners and fliers you can put up.

The Governing Board must think this piece of "legislation" was written in heaven and sent to them. That is, based on what we have deduced their modus operandi (and the modus operandi of most politicians) to be. Pass new policy that does nothing. You look like you are furthering the student's environment when in reality you never have to make a tough decision. That's what the proposed Palomar Comnmnity College District Policy on Student and Visitor Symbolic Expression does. It takes up a few pages but in the end, it does nothing. Yet the Goveming Board will soon vote to make it effective. If Las Vegas is taking odds, we'll bet the Student Union building that this will pass.

The rules reiterate what the State of California already has in law, so the Board of Governors can go home feeling they did something good for the students. Thanks for nothing.

The old policy allows a student to put up 30 posters around campus.

The new one makes it 100. The old policy a11owed seven banners from any one, group. The new policy makes no limit. The new policy extends the number of hours you can publicly express yourself to 11 from the present two hour window. There are other, just as important, areas that this new rule actresses. So why don't we welcome this new policy with open arms? Because it LIMITS your right to free speech in several ways.

First of all, the rules in effect now are a hodge-podge of guidelines that

were assembled over the years. In other words, they are not official policy and never have been. They are only guidelines. By creating new policy, they are limiting your right to truly free speech. The California Education Code says that free speech must be allowed unless it impinges on the education process. What's the matter with that? We kind of like the way it rolls off the tongue. You can say anything, anytime, anywhere as long as you don't impede the education process.

At the time the ASG voted to recommend the new policy to the Governing Board, it was rushed through the approval process. Upon closer examination, some members feel it was not properly explained to them and little discussion took place, maybe intentionally. It appears the students' representatives didn't represent them in this matter.

There is recourse. ASG may rethink their position ifYOU make your opinion known to them. Stop by the ASG office in SU-7 and speak up.

We're calling for the ASG to revisit this policy, realize how important their vote is, and strike this proposal in favor of a simple, control-free version. We1re asking ASG President Diane Vasquez to give a resounding 11 no" when asked what the ASG advisory vote is on this matter. We think the Governing Board should stand up and pass something that will allow students the right to truly free speech. .

The thrust of the Education Code is that free expression is allowed on college campuses as long as the education process is not intenupted - Palomar's policy should be just that. Allow speech, free and unrestricted, and only shut it down when education is impeded, beyond that, speech should be free.

Hey, moron: don't T

here is much concern that collegeage Americans are not voting. Many worry that most people our age don't pay attention to politics or even understand how our government works - despite efforts by MTV and others to "rock the vote." But the average college student really shouldn't vole.

College students don' t pay attention to the political process. We don't know the candidates or the issues. The college-age opinion of presidential candidates is usually, "he seems cocky," or, "how boring," or, "AI Gore who?" It's not, "I really like his proposals on taxes and healthcare." We simply vote on our impressions of these people while they perfonu for us during debates and speeches - and we all know what that gets us (hint: Bill Clinton).

Consider your political knowledge. Do you know who the Speaker of the House is?

Can you explain what campaign finance reform is all about? Have you any idea what the current presidential candidates have done in the past, if anything at all? Do you know what their tax proposals are?

No? Then stay away from the polls this week. If you're a moron when it comes to politics and government, don't vote - you don't deserve to.

That's right - you don't derseve to vote. Sure, our Constitution gives us the right to choose our leaders, but with freedom comes responsibility. The founding fathers expected an electorate who actual-

Tom Chambers

ly paid attention and made intelligent decisions with its vote. By giving us the power to vote they expected us to be involved, to care.

If people had always voted the way they vote now - based on appearences and personalities - Abraham Lincoln and George Washington would have never been elected.

These men were not the smooth, charismatic, handsome and well-groomed politicians of today.

You may not think it matters to look past the toothy smiles of our political leaders.

You may not care - in that case, you really should not vote, and if you do, don' t complain when your tuition goes up, you have to pay more to register your car, and your cigarettes cost $1 more a pack.

You may think you can be involved by just watching the news every once in a while, but if your only exposure to political process is the nightly news and Howard Stern, you have no idea what's really going on. Television news only gives you sound bites and snipppets of political events usually after being filtered through the

engine we call the media.

II Some friends of mine selected their candidate for state assembly because his name matched that of a movie character Jf' beyond that they know nothing about hi!Jl. They may as well be defecating on evert thing our founders fought for. That's rwt I, only stupid and irresponisble - it's lazy. ;; It's infuriating to realize people like that could be canceling the vote of those of ~ who pay attention.

The excuse, of course, is that it's impos~·i­ ble to know about every candidate for eve~ seat. Again, that's just being lazy.

Even if you're not a political scien_7; major, information about candidates is not hard to find. The Secretary of State a~¢ county registrar of voters send us all a voting guide packed with candidate statementi· The Internet has also brought the proce~ into our homes.

There are also many new Web sites dedicated to politks that make it easy to find information. · But if you're like most college students, you won't vote - and that's fine. Don't go to the polls and pick the popular candidat~. or the one named after a movie star, a~ think you have fulfilled your patriotic duty.

Stay home and watch MTY because those of us who do care don't want your ign,orance to cancel out our intelligent vote.

aint Patrick's Day is coming. Having roots in the culture, I offer the following reflections as to what meaning the Irish language experience may have for America.

In the course of teaching hundreds of students, I asked the question, "If you had your choice, what languages would you like to learn?"

Just about everyone included the language of his or her culture. It surprised me.

Two ethnic groups - and only two groups - consistently did not choose a language of origin: the blacks and the Irish.

As far as I could tell , blacks did not choose their language because of the cultural genocide they endured and because of the many languages found in Africa. I spent some time in Ghana, a country the size of Indiana on the West Coast of Africa In that country they had 57 recognized tribal languages.

How the Irish lost their language goes back to 1367 when the Statutes of Kilkenny, approved by the English Parliament, were passed. According to the statutes, intermarriage between the Irish and the new settlers in Ireland from England, the wearing of Irish clothes and speaking of the Irish language were forbidden.

This is the oldest law on the books discriminating against any language. The law set a precedent and revealed underlying attitudes, even though this law was largely ignored shortly after its passage.

As a matter of fact, the settlers in Ireland at the time - the Normans - became "more Irish than the Irish themselves" and took on the Irish culture and spoke the Irish Ian-

guage. They could have been a model for how to treat Native Americans at a later date. Tragically, this did not come about.

At the beginning of the 18th cenn1ry, the Irish experienced another blow to their language when the Punishment Laws, similar to the slave codes in America and the apartheid laws in South Africa, were enacted. The Irish became an underclass in their own country. The language and culture became identified with social inferiority.

In 1832, the British government eased up on the Punishment Laws and developed a system of elementary education. It was, however, an English-only education. Irish history and culture were considered worthless. Irish children were required to assume English names. Irish was forbidden to be spoken. In schools, teachers hung a piece of wood around the neck of each Irish student. Every time the child spoke Irish, the teacher made a notch in it. So many notches meant punishment with the teacher's stick.

The Irish language was beaten out of Irish children - in Ireland!

The result: Do you know of anyone who can speak Irish nowadays?

The latest prohibition against the Iri sh language took place in prisons like Long Kesh in Northern Ireland (Northern

Ireland? Isn't there only one Ireland?) Here, the British government even denied the prisoners the option of studying Irish.

In many ways the story of Ireland was a prototype for much that has taken place • the United States. We tried to snuff out the "worthless" Native American languages and culture in the Indian schools of the 1890s.

We did a similar job on immigrant languages and cultures in America. In spite of all the ballyhoo (a word of Irish origin), are we not a monolingual country? If the past is an indicator, contemporary immigra. languages will vanish within two generations.

In the United States, the Chinese in San Francisco challenged our attitudes about language teaching in the Lau court case in the 1970s. Teachers were teaching Chinest students English, while ignoring their 1an1 I guage patterns , culture and customs. ' The court said teachers should know th7 background of students they were teaching!

The court even said knowing the languagJ of the students and using it as a transition tJI learning English was also as an option Hispanics were to be the largest group t benefi t from this option.

The Lau decision reversed 700 years o Anglo-American language discrimination going all the way back to the Statutes o Kilkenny.

I do think much of the Irish story and it3 implications for the United States have yel to be told. The Irish example may hel1 explain many of the negative cultural atti tudes we are living with in this country.

At any rate, Happy Saint Patrick's Day.~

Should FOX have.kept show?

How can we be rshocked?

Attitudes of show are hurtful

Sometimes life imitates art, but in this case FOX decided art was 'jfe in a so-called wedding of multimillionaire proportions. This time • the part of the actor and actress were played by an emergency room nurse, and a "real-estate" big shot.

The public seems fascinated by "shock value" and how real '_.levision can get. Tills might explain why wrestling consistently tops the Nielsen ratings _:__but it's fake I say!

But leave it to the channel that brought you "When Pets Go Bad," "When • nimals Attack" and who outraged the magic community with the "Magic's Biggest Secrets Revealed" series, to produce a reallife soap opera, "Who Wants To , . Marry A Multi-Millionaire."

The show which was designed to top the ever-popular "Who Wants To .,e A Millionaire?" had a viewership of nearly 23 million, and in some little way the show caters to some people's ideals - financial security, a lavish wedding, and the mystery of a man in a powerful position.

-It' Of course all of those ideals were 1hattered when the media released -:-eports that the guy was a real estate ·S~oker with about 2 million in assets [fust enough to call a "multi-million1f&e], and that he is really a stand-up comic and motivational speaker.

Dear Editor: There's a plaque at,the flagpole, near the Student Union. Upon it are inscribed the words, "IN HONORED AND LOVING MEMORY OF PALOMAR COLLEGE STUDENTS & ALUMNI WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY-," also inscribed thereon, are the names of some of my previous classmates.

I read this plaque for the first time in 1967. When I returned to classes at Palomar College in 1999, there were two plaques, side by side, with the names of more classmates from the 1960s and 1970s. I pause there, whenever passing by and I remember these classmates, and consider where they have gone - and l have not.

Shaking my head slowly side to side, and walking on to my next class, 1 remember that tumultuous era here at Palomar College, when activism and apathy faced off in our newly established free speech area.

Sadly, one plaque was cracked and split down the middle, and sometime during the fall semester, it was removed - for repair, I hope. It leaves a hole in the memory of those faceless classmates, and a hole in our Palomar College heritage.

It is still gone.

Who is responsible for the repair of this plaque, and when will it be returned?

Opinion

Monday, March 6, 2000

I heard a male radio personality refer to the contestants on "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire" as gold-diggers, while saying nothing about the millionaire's motives. The program, watched by nearly 23 million viewers, included 50 women who competed to be the one married on-camera to a wealthy mystery man. Revelations about the millionaire's past, such as restraining orders against him, has scandalized the show, and Fox has no plans for follow-ups. But the damage has been done. "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire" cast a terrible light on men and women, and enforced stereotypes that are detrimental for society.

Hosted by a woman named Lianza, whose breasts threatened to pop out of her tight gold dress, and her bushy-browed, tuxedoed counterpart Jay Thomas,. the show was a parody of masculine and feminine roles. Thomas amused the audience with moronic sexual innuendoes, at one point saying, "For those of you worried about the runners-up, I will be having a special buffet for them in my room."

The show was as deceptive as a counterfeit bill. Although they had careers, it wasn't what the contestants did for a living that mattered. It was how that made them seem- perhaps a smart student or compassionate nurse which determined whether or not they would be chosen. The millionaire, empowered with decisions, was the one who made things happen. He sat in a separate room with a monitor, appraising the women and narrowing them down. They were just passive images on his TV screen.

Then through a cheesy self-narrated montage, we got to see the millionaire, Rick Rockwell, running on the beach and playing golf in San Diego while disguised with dark sunglasses. Rockwell, 42, said he made his money in real estate, then attempted to explain this bizarre show by adding, "I could never ever have the resources to pull all these great women together at the same time .. .I just hope something magical happens."

Looking bashful in his formal wear, he finally sauntered onto the stage to choose his bride. Like anyone who had a shred of humility should, he faced the last five contestants before announcing, "I am humbled and embarrassed by the fact that everyone went through all this trouble for me.

It's not fair that you didn't get to ask me all these questions and that I didn ' t get put on the spot like you did." Pause. "This is where the inequality stops."

His saying that, though, only emphasized how enormously unequal the situation was.

Rockwell wed thin, platinum blond Darva Conger, a 34-yearold nurse from Santa Monica, and then their staged marriage ended almost as soon as it began.

But even if there is never another show like "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire," I think it is worth noting how it perpetuated damaging myths. The outmoded roles the show enforced are limiting, and cause animosity between the sexes .

Calling the contestants golddiggers, for example, is unfair; they could not have been on that stage without Rockwell. We need to stop blaming women for the disadvantaged way they are portrayed. Furthermore, they should not be put in that position to begin with.

Good citizens support the Drug War

0

ver the past 30 years, only one federal program has consistently improved the quality of voters, made our neighborhoods safer, and targeted subversive elements in our society. Yef>, the War on Drugs has saved America.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the black population in America became increasing. ly politically active in an effort to gai~1 equal social status with whites. Though it took the federal government years to respond, the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 (which launched the War on DrugsJ fi nally provided a useful tool in the fight t9 keep blacks away from the ballot box.

You see, drug convictions are felonies, and citizens convicted of a felony lose their right to vote or own firearms for the rest of their lives.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 53 percent of drug offenders convicted in 1996 were black.

Considering that blacks comprise only q percent of the total U.S. population, you can see the War on Drugs has been quite effective. One recent study indicates that as much as one-third of black males bor¢ this year can expect to spend some time behind bars as adults.

And one more black man serving a cou. ple of years for a felony is one less black activist at the ballot box for a lifetime.

One cannot overlook the fact that the War on Drugs has also made our neighborhoods- safer and more secure than ever before. All it takes is one anonymous tip by a concerned citizen, and the full weight of the federal government can be brought to bear against that guy across the street.

You know the one.

He's quiet and unfriendly. He keeps weird hours, going out all night. And don't forget his dog.

That mutt barks at all hours.

Maybe he doesn't talk to you because he doesn 't want you to see that he's high on drugs. He's probably out all night buying and selling them. In fact, he no doubt keeps that incessantly barking dog to protect his stash of drugs and cash!

For the sake of children in your neighr borhood, can you afford not to phone in aQ anonymou s tip?

I'm not suggesting you do anything unethical, but there could be something in it for you. It's not unheard of for inforr mants to receive handsome rewards fot turning in drug traffickers. Even if drugs I aren't found, maybe he's a dangerous subversive with guns, or explosives .

And hey, if nothing's found - no har.rn, no foul. Right? An inconvenient search of his property by law enforcement is certainly a worthwhile burden for the sake of security. Besides, that noisy mutt ju might get shot in the ensuing raid.

Don 't get me wrong. Freedom is what made this nation great, but it must have limits. There are occasionally little obsta, cles on the road to security. Unfortunat~ though it is, sometimes a machine gun might get pointed at an infant's head.

Innocent bystanders in a doctor's office might be forced against walls and frisked while semi-automatic rifles are pointed at them.

Police might shoot a Hispanic grandfather in the back nine times - after he's already been shot in the head once and twice in the torso.

When these accidents happen, you hav¢ to remember what the mother of that infant was told by the federal agent endangering her baby's life: "Ma'am, I'm just doing my job." It's for your own protection.

So when you hear that a Second Amendment supporter was killed reaching for his gun in the dark to confront his unidentified federal attackers, be glad another anti-establishment gun nut is dead.

When you see the Fourth Amendment blatantly ignored in a search without a wat'rant, rest easy knowing that your govern• ment remains vigilant.

And when you see federal agencies refusing to recognize states' Tenth Amendment rights to legalize marijuana for medicinal use, be glad that we have a national police force caring enough to override those stupid and uninformed vo~ ers.

So I urge you to continue supporting th~ War on Drugs. You do support it, don't you?

Say, is that your dog barking .. . ?

'Pippin' continues to dazzle Katie Thompson Staff Writer

Royalty, romance and rebellion fire up the imagination in the musical, "Pippin."

The director, Michael Mufson, describes the musical as "an incredible plot full of twists and quirks, with intense musical scenes that play with the imagination."

Mufson. who has previously directed other productions such as "Kiss Me Kate," "Angel City" and his most recent success "Wireless City," explains the musical was carefully chosen to relate to students. ·'Pippin" is based on the heir to Charlemagne's Holy Roman Empire, who got out of college and doesn't know what to do with his life. He leads the audience on a journey in search of fulfilling his life through extraordinary events, only to end up in blissful domesticity.

The show opens up with neon lights and amazing acrobatics; however, this isn't what catches the eye.

Sensual, flashy costumes, designed by Ken Imaizumi, immediately targets heads toward the actors engulfed in their flirtatious dance. The anxious actors seemed lackadaisical in the beginning, then loosened up once the lead, Chandra Lee Schwartz, appeared on stage.

James Flaherty stars in the title role of "Pippin," which runs through March 12.

The stage was very empty for the first few scenes. The set design, created by George Gonzalez, was meant to be simple in the beginning, yet as the plot advanced so did the set. The best set used was the turn-table with eighth century Roman columns.

The costumes added to the sexual tension of this particular set by draping grapes and flowers over the actors' risque clothing.

The orchestra, conducted at the rear of the stage by Bob Gilson (a chairperson of the Performing Arts Department), did an extraordinary job. The music was crisp and full of intensity.

Once Pippin enters the stage, the journey begins. After graduating college, he journeys through life searching for ultimate fulfillment. His father the king is too busy fighting the Visigoths and avoiding his power hungry wife, and Pippin's stepmother, Fastrada.

Her son, Theo, played by Braden McKinley, also sang crisp and fresh.

The cast gave a sexy performance but lacked the abi ity to really captivate the audience. The sets and costumes were creative and fun, yet more effort should have been put toward establishing emotional connections between the leads and learning to play off each other.

The chorus gave an overall excellent performance, staying consistent with their energy level.

"The Green Mile" was expected to be an Oscar contender from the time it was previewed. Any time you put Tom Hanks on screen with an interesting premise and an emotion- evoking music score you have a clean shot at getting the Oscar nod.

But "The Green Mile" did have its own merits. It was almost necessary for it to be as long as it was in order to touch on all the issues it introduced.

"The Green Mile" talked about such things as racism and sadism. It revealed the types of intimate relationships that can develop between prisoners and those who guard them.

Finally, it questioned the morality of capital punishment and boldly asked the audience to hate a prison guard and to love a convicted murderer.

'The Green Mile" has a shot on Oscar night but its length and disturbing ending might hurt its chances.

"The Sixth Sense" was by far the most chilling of the year's films, but along with that it was also the most touching. For anyone who has seen this movie, it is no mystery why 11year-old Haley Joel Osmont was nominated for best supporting actor.

Although his famous "I see dead people" line joined the ranks of "Show me the money!" as a comic cliche, Osmont was far more than that one line.

The fear expressed by that little boy meshed with the visual and sound effects of the movie effectively drove chills up the spines of a large portion of this country. But the genius of this movie was not in its ability to scare the audience or even to surprise them to the point of making a second trip to the theatre. The greatest attribute of "The Sixth Sense" was its ability to culminate all the fear into an extremely emotional moment not just between a mother and her son but between a husband and his wife. "The Sixth Sense" was a wonderful movie and it

'Drowning Mona' a lake full of humor James Rolfsen Staff Writer

Welcome to Verplanck, New York, a town full of wonderful nice, normal people, except maybe one or two or maybe a thousand townsfolk.

From the beginning of the new comedy "Drowning Mona," the entire peaceful town of Verplanck is full of everything that would not be considered normal in your everyday small country town.

First off, the town is infested with the pint-sized economical Yugo.

The movie starts with a declaration that the Yugoslavian-based car company decided to use Verplanck to test its line of cars. As a bonus, every Yugo has its own personalized license plate.

Enough with the scenery, the plot of "Drowning Mona" moves along fairly well. It starts with Mona Dearly (Bette Midler), cranky and

·High schooler wants to be next Bill Gates Lori Horvitz College Press

It's 10 a.m. on a Monday in the plush office suite of Meyer Technologies, and President/CEO Jayson Meyer is telling a puke story.

Despite a horrible bout with the flu, he had stayed at work late one night and ended up spewing across the carpet.

At most companies, that little tale probably would have fallen into the category of Too Much Information.

Not so at Jayson's computer company, where moments of youthful humor are inescapable -- after all, he just turned 17.

But make no mistake: Jayson is described as a serious entrepreneur with the kind of drive it takes to build a company into a major corporation.

"My goal is to be a self-made, teen-age millionaire," Jayson says. "When I'm at a point that the government is fining me $1 million a day for antitrust violations .. . that's my goal. That means I'm on top."

This teen-ager is no ordinary adolescent.

He's Alex P. Keaton, the Michael J. Fox character who worshipped capitalism on NBC's "Family Ties." He's Pat Buchanan in board shorts.

And he's determined to be the Bill Gates of his generation. He's a workaholic and a devout Christian with political views that lean toward the right. He admits that he doesn't have a single T-shirt in his closet and prides himself on dressing well business shirts, ties and tailored slacks.

How does he relieve stress? He irons his clothes.

But Jayson is no geek.

While most kids his age are in class tackling the complexities of calculus or dissecting a Shakespearean sonnet, Jayson commands a growing business from his spacious office in Daytona Beach Shores, Fla. He tools around Central Florida in his sports-utility vehicle -- a silver Lexus RX 300 -- cultivating a growing list of clients who are old enough to be his parents, maybe his grandparents.

With a posse of seven employees, including his 15-year-old brother, Martin, Jayson's company builds PCs, custom izes hardware and software, designs Web sites and trains people to use their computers.

Meyer Technologies recently expanded its offerings through a merger with Holly Hill, Fla.-based DB Worldnet Internet Services. And Jayson is cooking up a plan to wire condominiums along AlA so residents there can get high-speed Internet access through his company.

Just thinking about the project makes Jayson as giddy as a kid in front of Nintendo 64.

"It's one of those things that when you close your eyes, you see dollar signs and the potential there," he says.

Mike and Kim Meyer said their oldest son was a precocious child and a born capitalist.

By the fourth grade, Jayson was a voracious reader. He had a subscription to Time magazine and he favored John Grisham over "The Hardy Boys." Later, he began devouring everything he could find on investing, real estate and finances.

As class president in elementary school, i1e was always dreaming up ways to raise money. In middle school, he started a lawn service and recruited neighborhood kids to work for him.

His next business in middle school went beyond pure capitalism. It was an act of rebellion, with a dash of moneymaking thrown in.

It started with school administrators searching his backpack and confiscating his chewing gum.

Jayson thought it ridiculous that kids couldn't chew gum in school and even sillier that he couldn't sell any sweets in school.

So he started his own inschool black market.

"I would buy $10 to $15 worth of Bubble Yum and Juicy Fruit and people were willing to pay a quarter per stick," he says. "You couldn't chew gum at school.

You couldn't sell cookies, candy bars or anything. So I was a little rebel."

It was around that time when young Jayson stepped into his next enterprise -- the computer business.

greatly deserves its place in the Oscar lineup.

"The Cider House Rules" is definitely worthy to be in the running for an 011car. ,Because of its surface plot it would be easy for someone to judge it as a boring flick about a guy living in Maine who goes to the coast tO pick apples, but there is so much more to it that makes it great.

It shows the search that young people must go through to find their place in life. It deals with the abortion debate and makes the audience struggle to decide what is the moral and right thing to do in certain circumstances. The greatest thing about "The Cider House Rules" are the many relationships that are portrayed on screen. The interaction between the characters is what makes this movie as beautiful as it is. There is some darkness to the film and it does show how people's weaknesses can sometimes destroy them, but amazingly, it leaves tbe audience with an overall good feeling about the beauty that life has to offer.

Spealdng of beauty, there is one more movie whose name will probably be stated last on Oscar night as well. When the

best picture envelope opens and we hear "and the Oscar goes to..." the words "American Beauty" will most Hkely be heard next. "American Beauty" was a gen.h.t film. Right from the beginning it made us accept and lighten up about the inevitability of death and take a good look at what we call life. It rebuked materialism and phoniness and screamed for people to live life now instead of waiting for it to be lived for them. "American Beauty" made us marvel and weep for the simplest of things and caused U$ to frown at the mini-van suburbia lifestyle that America is supposed to be longing for.

Those who only saw a movie about a miserable man lusting after his daughter's high school friend are unf011unare to have missed out on one of the greatest commentaries on our society to come around in a long time. "Amedcan Beauty" should win the Oscar because it was intelligent, brave, and because it gave us the opportunity to take a good look at ourselves and this "so called" life we lead.

n this era when public safety on • America's campuses can no longer be taken for granted, Palomar College has selected a chief to lead its emerging campus police force.

Tom Plotts is working 60 to 70 hours per week to transform Palomar's 25-member student volunteer security force into a fullfledged police department.

Plotts, 34, is married and has a new son born in December. While Plotts is handsome, well dressed and professional, his dominant feature is his seriousness. When considering the importance of his task, this is a positive attribute.

At 6-foot-3, Chief of Police Plotts and his long stride are a common sight on campus. As his demanding schedule keeps him moving, one Palomar's new police chief, Tom Plotts, bases his philosophy may find it helpful to be in shape just to have a quick word with him. istration.

in community policing. for the chief of police position was a rigorous one. After being identified as the top candidate, the background investigation began References and all past employers were contacted. He was required to take a polygraph (lie detector) test and a psychological test designed to assess suitability for a chief's position. This included two written exams and an oral interview with a police psychologist. An investigator went to his residence and spoke with Plotts' neighbors as well as all family members. There was also a medical examination.

Although he acknowledges the invasiveness of this process, he said there is a need for it.

"We need to make sure we have the right person identified," Plotts said. "They may look great on paper, but are they walking the walk?"

Plotts noted that every officer will go through an equally rigorous interview and background investigation before joining PCPD. In lieu of the survey data, Plotts said that providing a sense of personal safety as well as vehicle security are the main service objectives for the campus police. But if something does happen, students will no longer have to wait an hour or two for a sheriff - an officer can be dispatched right away.

"The ideal campus would be an open line of communication between the students and the employees and the police department, and virtually no crime," Plotts said with a smile. ''We need to work collaboratively because we want to get to the same goal, and that is to provide quality police services - you can feel safe as a student coming to campus."

graduation."

The Senator's office confmned that the bill is in the Assembly Appropriations Committee, but was not being rushed. Before the bill can become law, it must be approved by the Committee, receive a two-thirds majority vote on the Assembly floor, pass ih the Senate, and be signed

by Governor Davis. It would take effect the following January 1. However, not everyone supports mandatory community service.

"Obviously the governor is out of touch with college students. Many of them work part-time jobs, study full-time, and carry enormous student debt loans just to stay in school," said

Libertarian Party state chair Mark Hinkle the same week Davis endorsed the proposal. "You can't force volunteerism. The desire to help must come from within a person's heart, not be dictated by a bureaucrat."

Chris Wilson, a Palomar Student, views community service as more a punishment than a benefit. "1 don't agree with it at all," he said.

"Learning is learning. Community service is for people .who have committed crimes, in my opinion."

Student Terri Fisher doesn't consider the concept painful. "It was already a requirement for me, so I think it's okay. I think it's a good idea."

Y: continued from page 1 speech area on campus. The free speech area at the time was located on the lawn surrounding the Clock Tower, and was designated by the student council in 1968. The resolution cited sections of the Califnornia Education Code, which state that rules regarding free speech have to be adopted by the Governing Board.

At the same time a second resolution was tabled asking the Governing Board to rework Palomar's rules concerning free speech and publicity on campus so the ASG could work on new rules to suggest as replacements.

The ASG endorsed Bishop's new policy and procedures at its Feb. 9 meeting. Members, however, think they endorsed it too quickly.

"I think we should have thoroughly gone through it," said Alline Chan, ASG treasurer. "I don't think they (ASG members) know exactly what was going on."

"I don't like it. I didn't vote for it," Roncone said of the proposed procedures, "Much of it stayed the same, some are more strict, with few exceptions."

Chan said Bishop did give the ASG copies of

drafts of the proposal as he was writing it.

"He gave us copies and drafts - he passed them out at the meeting," Chan said. "I think we felt obligated to pass it because it was already on the table."

Roncone said Bishop did ask studen~ government members to give him input on the policy.

"I went to his office several times and made suggestions," she said. "I think he respected that."

Roncone said the Governing Board should not pass the new policy.

"Why can't Palomar just be a free speech campus? As long as it's not a danger to anybody or a threat," Roncnoe said. "More laws don't make it free."

"Basically everything in this policy is at the discretion of the student activities director," she added. "That's way too much power in one office. If you want something posted, they get to decide if it's appropriate or not."

Chan said the new policy is still an improvement.

"I know it's better," Chan added. "There's not as many restrictions as before."

Former KKSM host running for Congress Mark Brown Swff Writer

Kevin Mahan, a 54-year old lawyer, used to host a law talk show on Comet 1320 and now is running for 48th Congressional District.

Mahan, a moderate Republican, is a Vietnam veteran and served as a Captain in the United States Air Force from 1967 to 1973.

If elected he plans on having a military style S.W.A.T. team at El Toro Air Force Base in case of a terrorist threat. He said he also believes that there shouldn't be vaccines for non-combatants during a war.

He also said he believes people who own guns and have children should have safety locks on their guns. He also said there should be a law to keep the safety locks on guns around children. He says he 's a firm believer in the lOth Amendment.

"If I'm elected to Congress I plan to eliminate inheritance tax, give tax credits for tuition and suspend federal income tax for the active military personnel. I plan to take surplus monies and invest them in Social Security, create a restoration of military and reduce our National Debt," Mahan said.

Mahan said he agrees with the "National

Voter Referendum Act", that each state should control the education system not the U.S. government. He plans to reduce taxes, and doesn't want a change on tax cuts in order to stimulate economy. He said he believes that N.A.F.T.A is one sided to the standard of living.

He earned his bachelor's and master's degree's from U.S.C. and his J.D. from Loyola Law school. He has practiced law for 22 years, understands how laws should be written, and differences between state and federal jurisdictions. He says he understands constitutional issues, and how they will affect federal legislation and the state constitution.

"I want people to know I understand tax, economics and business and the three combined together," Mahan said.

In 1979 Mahan established a law practice with offices in San Bernardino, Ontario and San Diego. His legal services include worker's compensation, family law, bankruptcy and general civil litigation.

Since 1983, Mahan has been involved in a Union pre-paid legal service plan and served · as an arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association. From 1988-1992 he served as the chairman of the Valley Center Community Planning Group. Mahan has also sponsored many youth activities.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Question: Where is a good place to keep George Washington's sword?

That is what William Jewell College in Liberty. Mo., had to consider in 1996, when the school took possession of a sword that once belonged to the first president. Answer: in a safe place.

The sword was given to the school by a descendant of John Gano, a Baptist minister in the Revolutionary War era for whom the college's chapel is named. Recently it has been kept in a glass case mounted on a wall in the office of the school's president.

That will change soon, however. In October, the KC 150 Legacy Fund granted $9,475 to a chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution to build a new display case.

In the autumn, when the renovation of Gano Chapel is complete, the sword will be installed there, where it can be seen by more people.

"The sword needs to have secure display," said Calvin W. Hawkins, secretary of the Corum chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. "The chapel will be a very appropriate place."

Margaret Gano Redpath, who donated the sword to William Jewell , chose the college because it apparently is home to the only building in America named for Gano, who served as chaplain in the Continental Army.

Washington presented the sword to Gano in appreciation after the chaplain baptized the first president.

Washington had received the sword from the Marquis de Lafayette of France.

When the sword finally is installed at the chapel, it will join another Washington artifact held by William Jewell: a 1908 painting depicting the baptism.

The painting had hung in an Asbury Park, N.J,. Baptist church before being presented in 1926 to Jewell by another descendant. Currently in storage, it, too, will be placed in the renovated

The loss dropped the Comets overall squad had hopes of making a deep playoff run. That goal was squashed, however, by a record to 15-15 (9-3 in conference), but Hornet team that was ranked lower than nobody had anything but positive things to say about the season. Watson was especially Palomar.

"They executed better than we did," said proud of how his troops rallied together and Comet first year Head Coach Virgil Watson maximized their talent.

"This season was a tremendous success," after the loss. "I think the biggest difference in the game was that they were able to run he said. "Given where these kids came from their offense and defense a lot better, and it and where we got them to go, that was a stopped us from doing some of the things tremendous job this year.

Head Coach Virgil Watson gives instruction during a Comet match-up earlier this season. In Watson's first year in charge of the club, he won the Pacific Coast Conference Coach of the Year award.

he men's swim team is faced with the huge challenge of rebuilding a team that finished second overall last season.

The entire roster is under reconstruction. Last season Palomar sent eight swimmers to the state finals, on a team that carried 25 total members.

Fastforward to this season and the club only carries 10 swimmers total.

Without a doubt, Head Coach Jem McAdams has got his work cut out for him this time around.

He is fortunate, however, that last season's top performer still remains.

All-American freestyle specialist Travis Lansing brings talent and speed to a weakened Comets swim team.

Lansing secured a se.cond place finish in the 100 freestyle with a time of 46.1 in last year's state finals.

His fourth place finish in the 200 freestyle event gave him added momentum going into this season. ''I'm definitely more confident," Lansing said, "I'll build on what I did last year and have better performances.

I want to improve my time on every event that I swim."

Lansing finished fourth overall in the Pentathlon Invitational, which hosted eight schools and over 100 participants.

At the Palomar invitational (Feb. 2526), Lansing finished second in both the 100 freestyle (48.39) and 400 individual medley (4:27.00). He also led the Comets relay team to a first place finish in the 400 freestyle relay (3:20.14).

Lansing began the season with the goal of swimming at least one senior' national time on his best event, the 100 freestyle. This year's time to beat is 45.23, slightly faster than his state time.

Lansing, however, doesn't see that as an obstacle.

"I've trimmed my stroke, and learned' a couple of new techniques," Lansing said.

In addition to daily afternoon swim team practice, Lansing swims Saturdays and mornings. , "He's a hard workout swimmer," McAdams said. "His experience will definitely help him come April's state qualifications."

Typically an individual sport, Lansing stays focused on his team. "I had two major goals coming into this season. An improved state time and to try to help my team do the best they can," Lansing said.

Don't forget why you read this page A

s a sports columnist it seems like all I ever do is focus on the negative.

Last week I wrote a column on the Marty McSorley incident and a few weeks before that my topic was on who the biggest jerks in the sports world are. You know, guys like John Rocker and Darryl Strawberry.

Guys who grace sports sections across the country weekly with their blunders.

So lately I've been wondering if there was anything that still made sports as worthwhile as they were when 1 fell in love with them as a kid. I wanted to figure out if sports a1e still even worth my time.

It didn't take me long, however, tp remember the good stuff that keeps suckers like me coming back. In no particular order here's a list of the 20 best things about sports, according to me. . . 1) The fact that everyone in the stadium knows Trevor Hoffman is going to throw a change up. The batter's manager, the batter's hitting instructor, and even the hot dog ven-

dor; yet the batter still can't make contact with it.

2) The fact that when my Grandmother makes it to "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" she's going to call me with one of her lifelines if she gets any kind of sports question.

3) The fact that when Tiger Woods is down seven strokes with seven holes to play he can wind up winning the event by two.

4) The fact that every time I see a replay of Cal Ripken Jr. running around Camden Yards the night he broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played streak I get the chills.

5) The fact that the only knock Mr. Clutch, Tony Gwynn, ever managed against Randy Johnson was in the playoffs in his most important at bat ever against the almost unhittable lefty.

6) The fact that the Charger Girls are there to look at when the Charger players are getting their butt's kicked.

7) The fact that ESPN Classic plays old school basketball games when it was Magic

Miron

Johnson and the Lakers vs. Larry Bird and the Celtics.

8) The fact that all my friends laugh at Ken Caminiti for his struggles in the 1998 World Series when he was striking out and falling down at the plate, but for some reason that's what I admire the most about him.

9) The fact that I've never really been a hockey fan, but if there's a new hockey video game for Sony PlayStation I'm down to try it out.

10) The fact that I'm a firm believer that one day the amazing Vince Carter will bang his head on the rim while attempting a

sommersault, 360 slam-dunk. ll) The fact that you can buy a ticket to a Cardinals game and not have to pay extra to see Mark McGwire take batting practice.

12) The fact that guys like Phil Mikelson and Ken Griffey Jr. so people can see exactly what perfect fundamentals look like.

13) The fact that no baseball player will ever wear No. 42 again out of respect for one of the most courageous men of all time, Jackie Robinson . And that no hockey play. er will ever wear No. 99 again because none could hold Wayne Gretzky's jock strap.

14) The fact that every time I hear those three musical notes that signifies SportsCenter is now on, I know what I'm doing for the next hour.

15) The fact that ESPN 2 covers day two of the NFL Draft.

16) The fact that every time I rooted against John Elway as he drove down field against the Chargers with the game on the line, I already knew we were going to lose.

17) The fact that my favorite months of the baseball season are December through March when the hot stove and spring train-, ing are in full effect.

18) The fact that the Dodgers come to town every season and I get to boo them like there is no tomorrow.

19) The fact that guys like Jerry' Stackhouse, Grant Hill, Anfernee Hardaway and Kobe Bryant can be com- , pared to Michael Jordan, but none will ever' really be close to living up to the greatest player of all time. t I 20) The sad fact that I get a newspaper delivered to my house, but I have never noticed what is on the front page because I , always skip straight to the sports section. 1 And you know what? The list could go forever, but I've got to quit now because there's a game on and I wouldn't miss it for , the world!
