Anti-smoking program gets $70k grant

Palomar College Health Services is getting some help with its campaign against secondhand smoke through a $70,000 grant from the Vista Community Clinic. Jayne Conway, director of Health Services, and Amador Soto, Associated Student Government president, worked together to warn students and faculty against the dangers of smoking and second-hand smoke. Through their research, they discovered the Tobacco Grant, a two-year grant offered by tobacco companies to health organizations seeking to provide information about smoking. Conway said the grant's timing could not have been better, because recent budget cuts reduced Health Services' funding for such programs. Conway said she has not wasted any time in using the new grant money. Plans are underway to set up booths outside the student union and hand out gifts such as mugs to promote smoking awareness. Conway said she also hopes to conduct a campus-wide survey of students and faculty this fall to for their opinions on smoking on campus grounds, as well as an observation and assessment of appropriate smoking and non-smoking areas. Those who participate may be rewarded with gifts such as mugs or gift certificates.

In this photograph from "Enrique's Journey" entitled "Riding The Beast," young migrants duck atop a speeding freight train to avoid decapitation from overhead branches. "Enrique's Journey," a six-part series in the Los Angeles Times, depicts the dangerous journey of undocumented migrants who hopped trains throughout Central America and Mexico to reach the United States. Photographer Don Bartletti won a Pulitzer Prize for his images in April. Bartletti is a Palomar College graduate, where he took his first photography class in 1967.

fter two years of study at Palomar, student Natalie Tyler left the art of music to pursue a major in paralegal studies. Because her mother was once a paralegal student at Palomar, Tyler said paralegal studies was always attractive to her. She is satisfied with her transition, she said, because she has more encouragement now than before. "None of my teachers had ever said, 'We want to help you succeed. We want to help you get out of Palomar.' They just don't care," Tyler said. "The paralegal program professors want you to succeed, and they are going to do anything." According to Angelo Corpora, professor and coordinator oflegal studies programs, Palomar's paralegal program is highly regarded in the state as well as

nationally, because students are very well trained. They have access to a combination of excellent students and faculty and a large variety of available elective courses, Corpora said. "The students get a opportunity to have time to stimulate the study oflaw," Palomar offers integrated and extensive curriculum, Corpora said. "Studying law is not for everybody," he said. "You have to make a serious
effort and a serious commitment. Then rewards are there. That's the bottom line," he said. While Palomar requires 144 hours of class work and internship, UC San Diego requires only 80 hours, said Palomar student Vicki O'Brien. The extra hours of exercise makes Palomar students more marketable, O'Brien said.
The Facilities Department is seeking new ways to reduce electrical energy consumption on the San Marcos campus. "Saving energy saves us money," said Mike Ellis, facilities director. While the Facilities Department is taking conservation measures regarding all aspects of Palomar, the focus now is the reduction of lighting fixtures required in classrooms and implementation of occupancy sensors, Ellis said. In steps to reduce the number of lights on campus, the facilities department is currently converting from 34 to 32-watt lamps; which will decrease the number of lamps needed to light the campus, said Lead Electrician Richard Beach. The 32-watt lamps are more expensive but illuminate more space resulting in less lights needed per classroom. "Saving energy will more than compensate for the cost to buy and replace fixtures," said Jerry

Palomar student Jaclyn Jarrett said the UCSD paralegal program costs around $5,000. ''I heard it's a really good program, but here you get half of the costs in a two-year program- and you get everything," Jarrett said. UCSD doesn't provide a paralegal degree with this fee; it only offers a certificate, Corpora said. Palomar offers a certificate and an AA degree. "It makes no sense to go through the program and then not have what is required to get hired. So, our students are generally more received in the paralegal profession," Corpora said. There is a strong connection between the student body and the legal community, Corpora said. Palomar is the only college
in San Diego County that has an affiliation with the National Association of Legal Assistance, Corpora added. Corpora said there is no guarantee of getting a job after getting the degree, but Palomar students usually get fare well in the job market. One student organization focused on the paralegal program is the Paralegal Studies Club. The club invites paralegals and lawyers as guest speakers. They teach students how to network, how to write a resume and how to do a job interview, O'Brien said. "They are going to help you succeed by either telling you their mistakes or telling you what they did right," O'Brien said. The club meets two to three times per semester. Corpora said he thinks the meeting is

extremely important for the students' success. ''To meet with working professionals gives another dimensions," Corpora said, "You never know when they are going to meet one person that becomes magical for them and is a role modeL" O'Brien said she met a paralegal through the club meeting, and she ended up getting several temporary jobs. The club helps her connect with professionals, she said. The club also works closely with the San Diego Paralegal Association. ''We do lots of things collaboratively with them, as well as our local county bar association," Corpora said. The club held a conference in June at Palomar. Working paralegals, lawyers, judges and paralegal students from five different
colleges in San Diego County gathered at the campus. Guest speakers gave presentations for students and paralegals about where they could continue to earn legal education credits. The conference was studentoriented, so the students did most of the work to put together the event, Corpora said. "One of the things that we do differently from 80 or 90 percent of other schools in the nation is that we try to get our students involved with the professional organizations very early on," Corpora said. "There is a camaraderie that I found in this program," O'Brien said. "I don't think I have met a student in this paralegal program that wasn't willing to bend over backwards to help another student."

Arnold Sehwlln1n1gg1r Cruz Bustllmllntl • R1publit11n • D1moer11t With his announcement that he was entering the gubernatorial race, Arnold Schwarzenegger helped turn the recall election into a spectacle worthy of its own Fox special. Though his presence on the ballot may be the butt of many a late night joke, Schwarzenegger has been very serious in his bid to succees Gray Davis as governor. All through his campaign, Schwarzenegger has bashed the politicians for not doing their job. So what does he plan to do if he gets the governor's seat? "I am running for governor to lead a movement for change, and give California back its future," Schwarzenegger said. "I stand for fiscally responsible government, rebuilding California's economic engine, putting the needs of children first, and reforming our political system so that the public interest comes before special interest." Critics have been quick to note Schwarzenegger's reluctance to take a stance on important public issues. Despite the controversies from his initial pledge not to accept campaign contributions and then his reversal of that pledge, and his past sexual exploits, Schwarzenegger has fired back saying he shares aspirations for a government free of corruption and one· that emphasizes education and a sound economy. His main priorities are improving job growth by overhauling the state's worker's compensation program, and improving schools by eliminating state regulations and streamlining categorical programs. Though he still has not really detailed how he will resolve the fiscal crisis, he has stated he strongly opposes raising taxes - Democratic opponent Cruz Bustamante's answer to the problem. He may have overcome terminators, predators, and kindergarten children, but Schwarzenegger remains untested in political waters. Come election time, we'll see if he has a one-liner fit for the politicians on the hill.

FOCUSED ON PAI.OMAR The Telescope is published weekly on Mondays, except weeks containing holidays or exams. Signed opinions are those of the individual writers and do not necessarily represent those of the entire newspaper staff, Palomar faculty and staff or the Governing Board.
California's Lieutenant Governor, Cruz Bustamante is running on a "No on Recall, Yes to Bustamante" ticket in the hotly contested recall election. Bustamante, raised in the small Central Valley town of San Joaquin, became the first Hispanic elected to statewide office this century by winning the state's Lieutenant Governor post. He is a former assemblyman and Speaker of the Assembly. In the legislature he worked with Republicans to enact a $1.7 billion middle-class tax cut, reform welfare and lower student fees at state universities and colleges. Bustamante has proposed a "tough love" $12.4 billion budget plan to combat California's economic deficit, which proposes raising $7.9 billion in taxes and fees, and $4.5 billion in cuts and savings. The tax hikes would primarily be on wealthier residents and corporations. The plan would raise $2.7 billion from income taxes on the affluent, $3.6 billion from business and $1.3 billion more from tobacco. His proposals include saving the state $2 billion by requiring all businesses to provide health insurance to employees, relieving the state of the burden of providing for uninsured workers. Bustamante called for repealing fee increases for community colleges and supports the right of illegal immigrants to obtain drivers licenses. "If it takes a driver's license for them to get to work, to take care of their families, get their kids to school and take care of the seniors, let them go to some kind of a doctors appointment, I'm for giving them a driver's license," Bustamante said. He opposes the Racial Privacy Initiative, Proposition 54, believing it would seriously affect health care delivery. Bustamente's campaign has been marred by controversy over his acceptance of $4 million in contributions from Indian gaming tribes. In an effort to deflect criticism, Bustamante has promised not to use the money on his campaign and to spend "every dollar" of the gaming money to help defeat Proposition 54.

Getting tired of paying high tuition costs? Vote NO on recall or vote for Cruz Bustamante. Denounce your American citizenship, move to Mexico, then come to California illegally and attend school free. Under the current administration of Gov. Gray Davis or the potential administration of Cruz Bustamante, illegal immigrants would be able to attend community colleges free. Tom McClintock recognizes that it is wrong. Unlike all candidates, McClintock's view on the immigrant issue is a true conservative one. Giving illegal immigrants free tuition or driver ' s licenses not only embraces illegal entry into the U.S., but encourages it. illegal immigration is a crime and he doesn't sympathize with that. If he doesn't take office, then only those people who bypass the legal immigration process get goodies. The day before the vote, the Golden State is forcing us to pay as much as three times more to license our vehicles. It is going to cost the average family an extra $460 every year. McClintock said he would overturn and cut the tax hike on his first day in office. "If[Davis] can claim that he has the authority to raise the car tax, then by God I'll claim the same authority to lower it right back down," McClintock said. During the Sept. 24 debate, McClintock was the only one who clearly said not to raise taxes to balance the budget. This recall election is not about budget. The more fundamental issue behind it is integrity of politicians. If Davis hadn't lied then he would not be in the situation he is in now. With 20 years of experience as a politician in California, McClintock has gained high reputations among his constituents and senators. Though Arnold Schwarzenegger is also running on the Republican ticket, McClintock is the clear choice for all true conservative voters.
Among the endless list of candidates to replace Governor Davis on the Oct. 7 recall ballot, is 63 year old, Financial Investment Advisor Peter Miguel Camejo. The Green Party candidate is running with the support of former and current presidential hopeful Ralph Nader. Camejo marched in Selma, Alabama with Martin Luther King and actively opposed the war in Vietnam. As a political activist, Camejo worked to defend the rights of Latino workers in the United States and helped form the Environmental Justice Fund to finance and unify environmentalists of color. Camejo is a long time supporter of the women's rights movement and of gay and lesbian rights. In 1976, Camejo ran for U.S. President as a Socialist candidate. As governor, Camejo promises to fight for latino labor rights, including giving legal status to undocumented workers and providing a ''legal driver's license for all immigrants." If elected governor, Camejo promises to enact ''living wage" laws statewide. As governor he intends to advocate women's rights and "reproductive freedom." Camejo will attempt to improve law and order in California. As governor he promises to increase rehabilitation and training programs for people in trouble. Camejo wants to work towards ending the death penalty and abolishing the "three strikes" law. Protecting the environment is a major concern for Camejo and as governor he plans to reduce traffic and air pollution by increasing the availability of public transportation and working to decrease the size of private automobiles. Camejo says that as governor he will seek to guarantee universal health care to every Californian. On a side note, Camejo's philosophy for peace includes, "U.N. inspectors coming to the United States and getting rid of our weapons of mass destruction."

Republicans try to steal election again Over the last couple of years the unemployment rate has skyrocketed across the country, not just in California. The whole country is in economic ruins. It is not entirely Bush's fault. Dick Cheny and Enron are also partially to blame for California's financial woes. California is only mirroring what is going on in the rest of the nation.

A promise to repeall the car tax is a great idea, but does not warrant someone being elected to run the fifth largest economy in the world. There is a legitimate way to remove a politician from office. It is called an election. If someone performs poorly than don't re-elect him/her. Let Davis finish the job that the people of California re-elected him to do. Vote against the recall and keep California from becoming the punch line to the rest of the country's jokes.

Also, I challenge his "logic," for a better word, in the comparison that Catholic Priests should marry Marantz. Secondly, Mr. Zacharias writes "polls also show a large majority opposed to same-sex marriage." The recent polls taken in California show this issue running 50/45 against marriage. I would hardly define that as a "large majority." Finally, I want to conclude by congratulating Marantz for writing such an article for publication in a

PULITZER PRIZE WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER
Till TELESCOPE
It was midnight in Iraq when Don Bartletti learned he won the Pulitzer Prize. "My little satellite phone rang and it was the editor of the LA Times," Bartletti said. "I sat up in my sleeping bag completely surprised at the news, because I had never ever expected it to happen." "Thinking about dead bodies and burning oil wells and crazy looters and kids begging for water - and then to get great news - kind of tore me apart," he said. Bartletti, a 20-year Los Angeles Times photographer, graduated from Palomar College in 1968. Pursuing an art degree, Bartletti registered for his first photography class, Photography 101, in 1967. He knew photography was an interesting subject, but he did not know a lifelong career in the field would emerge. "It was a perfect place for me to start because I didn't know a thing about it," Bartletti said. Bartletti shot his first assignments for the Telescope, Palomar's student newspaper, in 1967 and 1968. He covered Vietnam War protests on campus and "The Great Snow of Dec. 13" - a day in 1967 when six inches of snow fell on San Marcos. "I found the best way to express myself artistically, accurately and subjectively, and fell in love with it," Bartletti said. "It seemed like the center of my universe," he said. "The heart of Palomar was in that Photo Department for me." Thirty five years later, Bartletti won a Pulitzer in April for his work on "Enrique's Journey." The Pulitzer Prize is an award given to multiple journalists and newspaper staffs each year. It's the top honor in the journalism industry.
About the journey
DON BARTLEnl I LOS ANGELES TIMES
In this photograph from "Enrique's Journey," exhausted Honduran migrant Santo Antonio Gamay, 25, clings to the back of a freight train near Chiapas, Mexico.
"Enrique's Journey" is a six-part series that chronicles the travels of 17 -year-old Enrique and many other teenage migrants from Tegucigalpa, Central America, who illegally hopped freight trains to reach the United States. They are among thousands of young people who make the same deadly trek each year in search of a better life. Bartletti traveled with reporter Sonia Nazario to cover the story for five months in 2000. While Nazario conducted interviews and researched facts, Bartletti said, he took on the life of the young migrants. "My coverage had to be on those trains, with nothing in between myself and the migrants," he said. ¡ Bartletti had to speak entirely in Spanish to communicate. He faced the same dangers and uncertainties as his subjects on a daily basis. "When the train slowed down and they ran from

"All through my career there have been very high highs and deep depressions," Bartletti said. "When you lose your self-esteem, you can't make pictures. But when you're self-confident, your subjects seem to sense that you're capable, and that's what Mr. Ahrend tried to give all of his students," he said. Justus Ahrend died in 1997, six years before Bartletti won the prize. "He was one of my father's favorite students," said Ahrend's son Jay, a commercial photographer in Los Angeles who attended high school and college with Bartletti. "They stayed in touch long into his career, long after he left school," Ahrend said. Bartletti's education at Palomar was cut short in 1968, when he was forced to either join the Army or face the Vietnam War draft. As a soldier in Vietnam, he said, he learned his most valuable skills as a photojournalist. Surviving the hysteria of war taught him to "separate the important from all the confusion." He said he used his experience and survival skills from Vietnam for "Enrique's Journey" and countless other assignments, like his recent coverage of the war in Iraq. Bartletti stayed in Iraq and the surrounding region as a journalist for the Los Angeles Times. He was not embedded with a unit of the Army, so he had to survive without U.S. protection. Bartletti had been in "the dirt of Iraq" for only three days when the news he won the Pulitzer arrived, and he said it overwhelmed him. Jay Ahrend called to congratulate Bartletti after he won the prize, offering praise on behalf of his late father. "If Dad were alive, he'd be tickled," Ahrend said. "He put a lot of good photographers out on the field." Ahrend echoed his father's sentiments about Bartletti's career. "He's done very well in his career, a true professional. He got the recognition he deserved."
A stroke of luck becomes a career Three years after Justus Ahrend helped Bartletti get his job at the Vista Press, he was fired. Bartletti freelanced for a year, which he said was terrible in those days. "I wasn't making any money shooting weddings, portraits and telephone book covers." But his brief slump came an to end with a stroke of luck. "A magic thing happened which really started things rolling in the right direction," he said. "I think in 1976 there was a bank robbery in Vista. I was riding through town on my motorcycle with the cameras on my back, like I always did, and the sheriffs blocked off the main street of

Bartletti said he ran around the police barricade to the back of a carpet store, which overlooked the bank. "I made an amazing photograph of the young bank robber who had a pistol and a rifle, leading the bank manager past the front door. And their silhouettes were perfectly framed beneath the word bank," he said . He sold the photograph to the then Oceanside Blade-Tribune and the San Diego Union-Tribune. "I think I got $5." He said the editors of those newspapers never forgot his photo . Bartletti got a job at the Oceanside Blade-Tribune six months later, followed by a job at the Union-Tribune after another year. When he finished his work at the Union-Tribune in 1983, he was hired immediately by the Los Angeles Times, where he still works. Bartletti has covered assignments all over the world, including recent stories in Afghanistan, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. His favorite assignment was capturing the struggle between the Tarah-Umarah Indians and the drug lords in Chihuahua, Mexico. "That was a big adventure, because we had to judge just how much time to spend with the drug police and how much time to spend with Indians hoping we couldn't be caught by the drug lords snooping around in their fields," he said. Immigration issues have been a focus of
Bartletti's work over the years. He said it's important to show the plight of those less fortunate, and that's why he helped create "Enrique's Journey." He has covered all the "routine journalism," too, like rock concerts, Superbowls, and political debates. When looking at that aspect oflife through the lens, he said, his perception of the world changes. "I find myself in a society that's on the other side of the fence, and they have a different feeling. So I hear the objection to uncontrolled immigration," he said. "And I completely understand that when I photograph a politician or an anti-migrant advocate." Bartletti said "Enrique's Journey" reminded him that his subjects were looking for the same things we want in America - a safe place to live, enough money to buy food and a good job. "I did this story not to give step-by-step instructions on how to break U.S. immigration law, but to show people that in other parts of this beautiful world, there are people who want just what you have," he said. "Migration for survival is as old as civilization. It's as unstoppable as time. And it's easily misunderstood." Bartletti has won more than 40 career awards. "Photojournalism is, I think, the most interesting occupation, and certainly one of the most important," Bartletti said. "Motherhood, teachers and journalists take the top three slots in life."

The Super Furry Animals are, in this writer's humble opinion, the greatest band that is currently making music. The Furries, as some fans call them, have a sound that is decidedly hard to pin down. Beatles-influenced melodies merge with avantgarde electronic dance grooves, with an occasional burst into hard-rocking punkish fury. The band's previous album, "Rings Around The World," toned down the rougher edges of the band's sound in order to make a diverse, psychedelic electro-pop record. The album went a bit overboard in the production department, with lots of strings and bizarre samples. The new album, "Phantom Power," goes for the opposite approach - it retains the more mellow feel of "Rings," but strips away all the excess instrumentation and leaves us with a great collection of lush, melancholy pop songs. The most immediately memorable song is probably "Liberty Belle," a war protest song which isn't nearly as preachy as it could have been, but the real highlights are the ballads. The country-ish "Sex, War, and Robots" is an excellent, if tongue-in-cheek, tear-jerker, and the epic multipart "Piccolo Snare" invokes an eerie, almost dreamlike atmosphere. There are only two real "rock" songs on the album - the catchy single "Golden Retriever" and the storming "Out Of Control." The rest of the album is simply made for long, contemplative car drives. Lead singer Gruff Rhys applies his usual ghostly wail and innovative left-handed guitar playing, yet gives the songs even better lyrics than on the band's other albums. "Phantom Power" has made a small splash since its release, but hasn't yet been hailed as the masterpiece that it is. Hopefully, by the end of the year, people will have realized the album's genius.
Last month, "Rubberneckin" debuted at number one on the Billboard singles chart and is currently near the top of the charts in over 25 countries. Last year, "A Little Less Conversation" debuted number one on the Billboard singles chart and reached number one on the charts in 26 countries. Last year this artist sold over nine million albums. What is odd about this superstar? He has been dead for 26 years. I am, of course, talking about Elvis Presley. More and more young Elvis fans are emerging. At a time when the music industry is short on talent and originality, Elvis has a lot to offer young music lovers. Last year was the 25th anniversary of Elvis' death and the event was accompanied by a massive promotional campaign by Elvis Presley Enterprises and a deluge of media coverage. Over the last few years a new generation of fans have been exposed to Elvis. The two remixes mentioned above transformed Elvis songs from the late 1960s into modern techno/dance style versions that have been in recent Hollywood films, played at stadiums during sporting events and in videos played on MTV and

VHl. A compilation called "Elvis 30 Number 1 Hits" went triple platinum last year. He was also exposed to a new generation in the Disney film "Lilo and Stitch" which had an Elvis theme and contained four Elvis songs. From 1997-2003, fans around the world were able to attend "Elvis the Concert." Elvis became the first dead singer to perform in a live concert. Modern technology allowed Elvis to perform via video and audio, with all of his former band members performing live. Every August fans travel to Graceland to attend the candlelight vigil. Many of these fans are in their teens and twenties- young fans are among the most knowledgeable and loyal. This is largely due to the availability young people have to Elvis Web sites, containing everything that has to do with Elvis. Elvis has sold over 1 billion albums. The Oct. 7 release of"Second 2 None" will include a newly discovered song titled "I'm a Roustabout" which will be heard by Elvis fans for the first time. Elvis' appeal comes from the wide range of musical genres that he covered. These include rock and roll, rythm & blues, blues, country, rockabilly and gospel. Elvis recorded over 800 songs. Elvis Presley Enterprises, along with RCA, will continue to slowly release the vast quantities of music and concert footage in their ~ vaults, exposing his amazing voice and stage presence to new fans.

He enrolled in German 201 in fall 2002. He soon discovered it was hard pursuing a difficult major and trying to learn German at the same time. Then Kendall heard about the Work Immersion Study Program, a scholarship that would allow him to go to Germany to gain experience in his field of study, learn the German language and participate in what he called, "an experience of a lifetime." He realized it would not be easy, he said. First, Kendall had to complete a rigorous application process that required three letters of recommendation, four short essays, resumes in both English and German, phone conferences with program directors in New York, and a phone interview with a professor from the German Goethe Institut.

•CONTINUED ENERGY: FROM PAGE 1 Patton, vice president of administrative services. There also has been a change from high intensity lights to fluorescent and compact fluorescent lights. Motion sensors are being installed to control the lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in classrooms, offices and facilities. These sensors will automatically turn the lighting and HVAC off when there is no one in the room. Previously, all systems had to be turned off manually, leaving it up to students and faculty to be responsible for conservation matters. "I would walk into rooms that lights had been on all night," Beach said. ''Now lights tum off automatically after 15 minutes of no occupancy." The most innovative technology used in the Facilities Department's attempt to reduce energy consumption is the installment of skylights and solar tubes to provide light. As of now, these systems are being tested for efficiency in four office locations on campus, Ellis said. They don't plan on using solar lighting in classrooms because of the audio and visual require-
ments for classes, he said. "These changes will reduce energy consumption by about 20 percent," Ellis said. Lighting, HVAC and solar systems have been replaced in many spots on campus. Most recently, the facilities department completed a system in the new Student Center. "All efficient and most recent energy conserving programs have been applied to the new Student Center," Patton said. "We'd like to use them all over campus." Palomar College saved nearly $123,000 in rebate for the energy conserving equipment used in the new Student Center, Patton said. "It costs money to implement an energy-saving plan," Ellis said. The money that funds the efforts to conserve energy at Palomar College comes from a variety of sources, including San Diego Gas and Electric, state grants, a state scheduled maintenance program and local assistance, Ellis said. "Energy companies have incentives and suggestions to save energy," Patton said. "We get benefits for conserving." Energy use is directly related to enrollment, Ellis said.

Late field goal ends defensive struggle Br Erik Goodson
TlfÂŁ TElESCOPE
In a tight defensive battle between two Mission Conference foes, Palomar nipped Saddleback 16-13 as Ryan Lux drilled a game-winning 30-yard field goal with only 16 seconds remaining on the clock. The defensive units for both teams dominated the offenses as no touchdowns were scored in the final three quarters of the game. But the Comets got just enough offense at the right time to set up Lux for his game-clinching kick. had The All-American missed an earlier field goal attempt, and has four misses on the season. "After a miss, you start thinking about what you did wrong," Lux said. "I had faith that the snap and hold would go smoothly, and when it did I just put it through the uprights." The Comet offense had trouble sustaining any sort of offensive consistency. The Gaucho defense kept them out of sync with a high-pressure defense that only surrendered 273 yards on the game. The Comet rushing attack was held to a season low 22 yards rushing on 35 attempts. "They made us one-dimensional (by stopping the run). We're not as good as we have to be. We have to go back and evaluate some things on offense," Palomar Head Coach Joe Early said. Quarterback Matt Pound, who was replaced in the third quarter, had his own troubles. He fumbled the ball three times on the snap exchange, and this prompted Early to lift Pound in favor of Tony Paoli. But it was the defense that

lifted the Comets through all of their offensive inadequacies. As a unit they surrendered only 297 yards of total offense, and sacked Saddleback quarterback Brock Farrel six times. Leading the charge on defense was Soli Lefiti who recorded three sacks on the game. The touchdown for the Comets came early in the first quarter, as Pound found Marlon Carter on a flag route in the corner of the end zone for a 22-yard touchdown reception. But Saddleback came right back, tying the game on a 31yar d touchdown reception of their own, in the first quarter. From that point the two

Paoli found Travis Plash streaking down the sideline for a drive sustaining first down. Then the Comets methodically moved the ball to the Gaucho 13-yard line setting up Lux, and effectively wearing down the clock. The Comets who escaped with a big win over the sixth ranked team in the nation, picked off Saddleback's last gasp hail mary attempt. The Comets next travel to Pasadena on Oct. 4.

TilE TELESCOPE
ossibly invoking a sense of jealousy in the great Pele ', Monica Lee performed a hat trick Sept. 26 as Palomar's women's soccer team blanked visiting Southwestern 4-0. The shutout marks the second straight for the Comets, who have now scored 17 goals in their last two games. The flurry of goals against Southwestern helped the Comet's improve their record to 6-0-1. Forward Ailish Lindquist kicked off scoring with the first of four Palomar goals 14 minutes into the game. Unassisted on the play, Lindquist, along with many other players, was unsure whether or not the goal counted as the referee had a delayed reaction on the whistle-blow. Once the whistle was blown, however, Lindquists' teammates jumped in excitement. Even Lindquist was surprised to hear the whistle. "I didn't think it was going in," she said. "It hit my left foot kind of weird." Not satisfied with one goal,

Head Coach Cern Tont, with 21 minutes remaining in the first half of play, yelled to his players on the field, saying, "Let's finish this game right now." And finish the game they did. Responding to her coach's wish, forward Monica Lee extended the Comets' lead with a goal three minutes before halftime. With
Meaghan Norbeck on the assist, Lee's goal took the Comets into halftime with a 20 lead. Still not satisfied, Tont emphatically pushed his team to be more aggressive in the second half. "We're gonna finish this game with a third, fourth, fifth goal," he said during halftime. Once again determined not
to fail her coach, Lee broke out with two more goals in the second half. The latter of the two, a soaring shot from the side of the field 27 minutes into the game's second half, etchea another hat trick in the record books for the forward, who performed the three-goal stunt earlier this season against Santa Ana.
"That felt really good today," Lee said of her three goals. Taking a breather after her efforts, Lee was all smiles on the sidelines as she repetedly said thank you to complimenting teammates. Noting the effect Tons' halftime words had on her and the team, Lee said the tough second-half play was result of the coach's pep talk. "He told us to step it up, be more aggressive," she said. "He wanted us to pressure, and we did." With tough games on the horizon against San Diego City, Mesa and Cuyamaca Colleges, Tont hopes the team will still be ready despite its last two relatively easy games against Imperial Valley and Southwestern. "The only problem we have is we cannot replicate the intensity of a Cuyamaca game," Tont said. Looking at the positives of the scheduling, however, Tont looks at such easy games as opportunities to play a greater number of players more and prepare them better for any playoff possibilities. "In the long run, it might help," he said.
