Painted faces, a clown on stilts, cotton candy and 1960s costumes; no, not a carnival it's Comet Week. Despite the efforts of Paul Groom, Palomar's student activities coordinator and cheerleading coach, who wrapped the rope around his waist, students (mostly cheerleaders) won the tug of war 2-1 against faculty members. Cheerleader Vanessa Johnson said she was happy to see Groom go down. Johnson also said the cheerleaders are

the ones with the muscles. "We should've made the losers do crunches," said cheerleader, Jimmy Bushy. A clown on stilts making balloon animals and hats could be seen in front of the Student Center from a distance. "Balloon animals freak me out, I haven't seen them since I was 6," said Donna Francis, a pre-med student. Francis said, this is the kind of stuff she expects to see at a carnival and never thought she would run into it at college. Students lined up to get their faces painted by a female clown, others chose to get their arms, legs and even necks painted. • SEE GROOVE, PAGE 2

With only weeks before Election Day, Proposition M campaigners working the phone banks at their headquarters in Escondido said they are getting positive responses from voters, on the $694 million bond measure. "Maintain and Modernize Palomar College" is the Prop. M slogan. Prop. M funds will be used to renovate and update Palomar's existing facilities on the San Marcos Campus and fund two new campuses in the north and south of the district. The number of voters contacted by the staff and volunteers who want to support Prop. M is rising said Neill Kovrig, campaign manager and former Palomar student. Palomar student Omar Tawafi, who has been working at the phone banks since the first week, said Palomar has served more than 750,000 students in the last 60 years, and consequently voters within the Palomar Community College District have been or currently are involved with Palomar.

Reel Cross gives Palomar award for most blood collected By Jason Dunn Tfi TELESCOPE

The recent blood drive at Palomar College collected 103 pints of blood. "It's the gift of life for people," said Jayne Conway, Health Services director. "It's so important." Robin Dowd, Palomar's liaison with the American Red Cross, said a coronary bypass operation uses about five pints of donated blood, brain surgery uses about 10, and car accident and gun-shot wound victims use about 50. More than 100 students and faculty members donated blood during the four-day blood drive. A bloodmobile from the American Red Cross was parked in Lot 11

from Sept. 26 to 29. Blood was collected each day from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dowd said the blood collected goes to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, Pomerado Hospital in Poway and the Scripps chain of hospitals. She said about 20 percent of all the blood collected in San Diego comes from high school and college students. Jennifer Julien, a medical assistant who works in the bloodmobile said San Diego hospitals need blood, and that most blood has to be imported from other states. Julien said the bloodmobile travels to businesses, high schools, churches and other colleges, and that Palomar College is one of the sites where the most

blood is collected. "We do very well here," Julien said. "We could always use more, but we always stay very busy here." The American Red Cross gave Palomar College an award Oct. 10 for being the site where the most blood was collected during the 2005/2006 fiscal year. American Red Cross representative Vikki Fernette said 433 pints were collected from Palomar. Fernette presented the award at the Oct. 10 governing board meeting to Conway and Marilyn Lunde of the Office of Student Affairs. Lunde is also adviser to Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society. Phi

With a butterfly and a smile painted on her face, Palomar student Yeli Hernandez said she was very excited that Palomar was doing this type of event for students. "It is interesting. There are people older than my parents running around with their faces painted," Francis said. Palomar student Nikki Batien said she felt the theme was a little childish, and that she would like to see activities that would be more useful to students. Club Inferno's DJ Kool T. also played during Comet Week. Students were invited to take part in dance contests where all participants received free lunches. RBG an alternative fusion band performed for a crowd of students. "This was great. We would love to come back," said Mitch Costa, band member. "The band is a plus," said Palomar student, Michael O'Connor. In the spirit of the 1960s theme Palomar's fashion professors and students put together a fashion show. Students designed some of the outfits and others were costumes from the theater. Fashion students modeled them. Palomar students, were cheering for the models, who strutted down the runway as the '60s music was playing.

education, and people know that Palomar needs this bond," Tawafi said. Former Palomar student and campaign volunteer Rebecca Martin said that the main concern people have is what it will cost them. She said the phone banks are an opportunity to inform voters that it will cost homeowners an average of $60 per year on property tax for 30 years. "People don't want their taxes raised and we respect that, but they should know what it's for," Martin said. There are a variety of people working the phone banks, from Palomar students and faculty to former students and local citizens. "With a mix like this, how can we not win," said Stan Levy, Palomar's director of reading services and campaign volunteer. Levy said Palomar needs this bond and that other colleges have already received bonds. "It's our turn, it's our time, it's our necessity," he said. One night, when there was a full house of volunteers and not enough phones, people opted to use personal phones to call voters, Kovrig said. Palomar hires the Tramutola Group, a campaign-consulting firm, to promote Prop. M. One of their tasks is to ensure that funds are used effectively to advertise to the correct people.

Fashion student and model Alicia Dominguez, said they only had one run through, and she was a little nervous. "The show turned out great." Dominguez said. Students who participated at the booths received coupons for free food. The cheerleaders had a station where you could throw a football into three different holes. They also had basketball hoops set up and students who made the shots received coupons. The Army booth had a pull-up

bar where students had to do 10 pull-ups to get coupons. Cotton candy, snow cones, corndogs and nachos were some of the food choices available. Earlier this semester Melanie Wallace, Associated Student Government senator and chair of the Comet Week celebration committee promised something untraditional for Comet Week. The inspiration for Comet Week this year was high school homecoming, Wallace said. "I think people are really enjoying this," Wallace said.

''Tramutola has a great track record with bonds," Kovrig said. The call sheets are organized in a precise manner to reach voters who are likely to support the bond, Kovrig said. During the Sept. 7 campaign kickoff party, College President Robert Deegan said he was committed to Prop. M and would dedicate his time campaigning. Levy said that in his 31 years at Palomar, having worked with five Palomar presidents, Deegan has been the most dedicated. ''Deegan is here every day," Levy said. Palomar student volunteers met on campus Oct. 7 to put up signs in designated areas throughout the Palomar College Community District, said Paul Groom, student activities coordinator. An informational booth for Prop. M was set up in front of the Student Center during the Comet Week celebration. Kovrig said the first batch of mail advertisements has been sent out, and that lawn signs are available. Bonnie Ann Dowd, vice president of finance and administrative services, said the last time Palomar used taxpayer money was 40 years ago to build the Dome. Bonds such as Palomar's are allowed to tax up to $25 per $100,000 assessed value of a house, and the Prop. M bond asks for $14.72, Dowd said.

There's more to it than sword fighting By Jason Dunn THE TELESCOPE

You may have seen them by the clock tower, or heard the clash of their bamboo swords reverberating through the Student Center. You may be one of the students who stands at a distance and watches them. They're a large, active group on campus and have the longest meeting time, though they're not an officially registered club. They call themselves "martial training and re-enactment" and they meet all-day on Wednesdays at the clock tower and practice sword fighting. "It's competitive without having the pressed feel that a competition would have," said Josiah Grant, a member. "It's a press to improve yourself as opposed to just trying to be better than anyone else." Grant said he was one of a small group of people who used to meet in the Arboretum years ago to practice sword fighting. "Basically we were up there to have fun," he said. "It wasn't anything official."

Prop. M • campa1gn needs boost

alomar College President Robert Deegan has said Palomar's $694 million bond will be the second-most significant event in the history of the college, the first being the establishment of the college 60 years ago. If that's true, the efforts made so far to promote the bond to voters are grossly inadequate. To pony up $694 million is a lot to ask of the voter's in our district. Voters need to be convinced that this bond is necessary for Palomar's future and the future of students living in our district. Where is the advertising? The bond is vital to our future, the campaign must reflect that. If this measure is to succeed, our district must be saturated with information. Voters need to know what is at stake. A campaign office has been set up off-campus with paid volunteers calling strategically selected voters. Campaign signs have been placed throughout the district, encouraging people to vote ''Yes on M." This is a good step, but with only three weeks before Election Day more must be done. Proponents must do everything in their power to ensure Prop. M passes. That includes spending everything in its campaign coffers to advertise and promote the measure's benefits. Volunteers must pound the pavement and walk ever corner of every precinct in the district. Educating voters is the only way this bond will pass. A strong close to the campaign might not be enough. Absentee ballots went out Oct. 7 and early voting is underway in many precincts- people are already voting and the campaign is barely getting underway. Some voters are filling out their ballots now, and others will head to the polls Nov. 7 not knowing anything about Prop. M. We live in a conservative district. This is also a midterm election, which means turnout will be fairly low. The high propensity voters in our district are, as a general rule, against raising property taxes - even for bonds. Tri-City Medical Center recently tried to pass a similar bond measure in June. The measure failed because not enough voters were informed and persuaded. Prop. M is taking the same path. Bond proponents have an advantage because there is no organized resistance to the bond. A thorough marketing campaign should ensure the bond's success in a district filled with Palomar alumni. It's an easy sell, but enough selling needs to be done. The tens of thousands of former Palomar students and their families could form a massive ''Yes on M'' voting bloc if properly educated about what the measure entails. The bond needs 55 percent support to pass. Between now and Nov. 7 is one of the most critical times in Palomar's history. We encourage those responsible for taking Prop. M to the voters to step up. It is not too late. Use the time remaining to show voters what this bond means to Palomar and to the community.

GAVIN CARPENTER I THE TELESCOPE

Indian mascots insult By Colleen Paroli THE TELESCOPE

Indian mascots are offensive and dehumanizing to American Indians. They are demeaning, inappropriate and set American Indians apart from the rest of society. Sports teams should be banned from using American Indian images as mascots because it is racist. American sports teams can find other names that avoid highlighting ethnicity. The World Series between the Cleveland Indians and the Atlanta Braves in 1995 brought public attention to the mascot controversy. Cleveland's Chief Wahoo mascot is a cartoonish looking Indian with a red face, big teeth, huge distorted nose, and a headband with a feather. American Indians feel ridiculed by Chief Wahoo's example of how an American Indian is supposed to look and act. Chief Wahoo is stereotypical and offensive. American Indians loathe and despise this mascot. Florida State University's mascot, the mighty Osceola, is represented with war paint that he never wore, and on an Appaloosa horse that he never rode. He carries a Plains Indian war lance that he never used; acts the fool, which he never was; and performs for non-Indians, which he never did. Sports fans may find this mascot amusing, but for American Indians to see this significant leader portrayed as a fool is a mockery and dishonors his courageous legacy. The Washington Redskins is the most offensive name to American Indians. They detest this name particularly because it denotes skin color and 'redskin' is a word which came into use during times when Indian men, women and children were hunt-

ed like animals and scalped. These scalps or 'redskins' were then turned in for a bounty. The team's owners are still looking for a few wannabe Indians who say they are proud of the name. A small group of phony Indians cannot speak for the majority of federally enrolled American Indians who detest Indian mascots. For this team to continue using this racist term is an abomination. What if other sports teams were named the Pittsburgh Negroes, Kansas City Jews, Houston Hispanics, San Francisco Asians or Washington Whites? America needs to listen and become aware of American Indian opinions and realize how native people are being misrepresented by Indian mascots. Indian mascots and team names insult American Indians. They insult because they continue in the use of negative stereotypical antics, words and images. Antics such as the "tomahawk-chop," mock "Indian war-chants" and mascots throwing fiery spears gives the impression that American Indians are violent and warlike. American Indians find this behavior crude and disrespectful. Mascot images of American Indians prevent people from understanding the true history and origin of native peoples. Americans need to understand the offensiveness, racism, negativity and dehumanizing effects of Indian mascots and why they should be eliminated out of respect for the "First Nation" of this continent. Think of how American Indian parents and their children feel looking at a stadium full of thousands of people mocking their spirituality and making fun of their traditions. How can they feel good about being American Indians? Indian mascots glorify all the stupid old stereotypes and they insult the entire American Indian race.

"'am finally finding peace with the ancient Korean Philosophy." Kim said that she was honored to have a solo exhibition at such a beautiful gallery. The abundance of space allowed her to have installation pieces, large glass and ceramic sculptures that almost appear to be floating in the air or growing out of the ground. Regarding the creative process, Kim said she begins with an idea and sketches it out, then constructs a smaller model and finally the actual piece itself.

The inside art for Ludacris' new album called "Release Therapy," which was released on Sept. 26.

The fifth track on "Release Therapy" is titled ''Ultimate Satisfaction." This is one of the strongest tracks on the album, and Field Mob provides a flawless collaboration. It has pounding bass that's perfect to bump in your car. With the exception of a couple other songs, the rest of the album shows a serious, more mature side to Ludacris. He tackles tough issues such as abuse, running away, prison, war and problems with the music industry. Overall, "Release Therapy" is an awe-

some album. No matter what kind of mood you're in, there's a song that expresses those feelings on this CD. The only thing I didn't really like was the fact that this album is so different from what he usually does. It's good to see his growth as an artist, but there's still the in-your-face attitude that most of us have become accustomed to from Ludacris. Listening to "Release Therapy" is therapy in itself by allowing us to release our stresses and worries of real everyday life.

Each week there will be a theme marking important events throughout the last 60 years at Palomar. Palomar College began at Vista High School, now Lincoln Middle School 60 years ago , said College President Robert Deegan during the 60th anniversary celebration, Sept 26. Deegan said the college started with 100 students and has now grown to more than 30,000. Tom Humphrey, an alumni and r etired faculty member, also spoke at the anniversary celebration. Humphrey graduated from Palomar in 1958 and began teaching at the college in 1966. Last semester the college held many events celebrating the 60th anniversary. The biggest event held April 8, invited alumni, faculty, students and community members to tour the campus .

"I'm losing hope," men's soccer head coach Carlos Hernandez jokingly said. "A month ago it was maybe next week, maybe next week." The new field, which meets international standards, is the first of its

kind in North County and will be counted on not only to play home to the Comets, but for many community leagues. Hernandez said that the field is the best in the county, but still needs some work, including filling gaping holes on the mound that will be used as seats. He also said that there were some problems with broken down equipment, but once he gets the approval the Comets will look forward to the new synthetic turf. "If I was going to take a guess it would probably be in a couple of weeks," Hernandez said. "We're definitely going to be playing there this season, we just need the approval."

Even with an impressive win, the team focused on some of the mistakes they made. "There are a lot of times when they are not communicating or there's failure to realize where someone is and we're getting either burned on defense or countered on offense," Boynton said.
