Repeat on the opposite side. 3 Fold those same corners again to meet the center crease. 4 Fold the entire aircraft in half lengthwise along the crease of the original fold. The edges should line up - if they do not. use a protractor.

Despite a campaign to try and find a way to keep the position, it continues to look as if Palomar's "classified employee of the year" will be laid off by the start of the next semester. Karie Lord, the student services employment coordinator at the Career Center, was told the second week of April that she can expect a pink slip because Gov.

UCSD researcher lectures on stem cell biology By Charles Steinman

Tlf£ Tn£SC:OPE

Many people have misconceptions about stem cells and human cloning, a UCSD graduate student told Palomar students. David Six, a graduate student in UCSD's Department of Che:r,nistry and Biochemistry, set out to give the audience a working understanding of the subject. He also said he wanted to dispel some widely-held beliefs at a presentation made April 26 in Room BE-l. For instance, there are actually two very different things that generally get lumped together under the idea of stem cells: Embryonic

stem cells, which come from partially-developed fetuses, and adult stem cells, which come from certain parts of an adult's body (such as blood and marrow). The latter, he said, tend to get the short shrift from the media. Six explained to the group that stem cells are basically "undifferentiated cells" - that is, cells that haven't developed any specific job in the body yet. Developing fetuses, obviously, contain lots of them, while they become increasingly rare with age. "But everybody has to have • SEE CELL, PAGE 2

Gray Davis made made cuts- to the CalWorks program. In a memo sent May 1, Joseph Madrigal, vice president of student services, outlined a plan that would allow Lord to work part time during the summer. "Beyond September, there's no guarantee for her situation," Madrigal said. Madrigal's memo said the school will make use of funds offered by the vocational education and ROP programs to pay Lord's salary for the summer, but the money wasn't there to ensure that she can stay on a permanent basis.

Not quite able to reach it, he felt an officer beneath him push his foot up so he could make it. When Parkinson looked back to offer help, the officer had fallen below. ''He saved my life," Parkinson said. This was one of the many stories told by a group of survivors of World War II who spoke at Palomar's Howard Brubeck Theatre April 29. The event brought together 10 men and women who either served in the war or had loved ones overseas during it.

Among the 10 speakers were men who fought in the Pacific and the North Atlantic . theaters as well as women who served at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. Harriet Holmes enlisted in April 1941, just months before Pearl Harbor was attacked on Dec. 7 of the same year. She said she was sleeping when the attack began and initially thought her call to duty was a joke. She said as she was going to her post she saw a Japanese plane flying about level with her, with the pilot "smiling and waving." ''We waved back," Holmes said. Holmes said she wasn't able to get in touch with her family until two weeks after the attack.
