The Office of Student Affairs plans to change the way students choose to buy student ID cards and activity stickers by making the option a negative check-off upon enrollment.

Currently, students have to check a box upon registration if they want to buy the ID and activity sticker. During Fall 2007 registration, students may have to check a box if they don't want to purchase them .

Student Affairs Director Bruce Bishop said other colleges have increased purchases of their ID cards and activity stickers from 5 percent to 75 percent by switching to negative check-off systems.

Bishop said prior to the college offering the activity sticker and prior to online registration when everything was essentially a negative check-off, about 90 percent of students bought student IDs. At current enrollment levels, if 75 percent of students who register online were to buy the ID card and activity sticker, the Office of Student Affairs would make about $375,000.

Palomar IN BRIEF

Japanese TV star visits Palomar Japanese actress Chiaki Hara was on the second floor of the library, filming a segment of a program on genetics Oct. 26.

Chiaki Hara is a television actress on Fuji TV in Japan. She is most known for her work in dramas such as "Life is Beautiful" and "Lion Sensei."

Cameramen and sound technicians came accompanied by Fuji TV correspondents Akiba Hideyuki and Scott Filipski.

They filmed Hara navigating through newspaper records on the microfiche for about 30 minutes.

During the filming of the segment, a curious crowd of students gathered around the area and talked to the correspondents.

International relations student Yuki Aizawa recognized Hara.

"It was exciting to see a celebrity in person," Aizawa said. He said he had seen her in a couple of variety shows in Japan.

Accounting student Ayumi Katana talked about Hara with a permanent smile on her face.

"I have seen her in 'Life is Beautiful,' she is so beautiful," Katana said. "Out of all the places, I never expected to see her at Palomar College."

They were filming a segment of a special educational program on genetics, Hideyuki said.

"What we were looking for is a newspaper article from The Los Angeles Times from 1980 about a controversial sperm bank in Escondido," Filipski said. He said the sperm bank caused a lot of controversy because it used the sperm of famous scientists.

They were originally going to film in the Escondido Library, but it didn't have

the article, Filipski said.

"Palomar College was nice enough to let us use their facilities for this important segment of the special," Filipski said.

According to the article, the sperm bank was exclusive because it had Nobel Prize winners as donors. The article also said only women with high IQs could get the sperm. The program is set to air in Japan next month.

College recognizes Veterans Day A memorial service is planned for Veterans Day at Palomar College on Nov. 8. The service will be at the Veterans Memorial below the Student Center.

Veteran guest speakers will attend the ceremony. Harvey Benne, a World War II veteran, will perform the "Tattered Old Flag" - a series of flag maneuvers. Tables and chairs will be set up for veterans, students and visitors. The service will start at noon and refreshments will be served.

Palomar has lost four alumni in the war in Iraq. All veterans, students and visitors are welcome to commemorate all of those who served this country.

Ggarene bun clean up planned A contest to pick up cigarette butts on campus will happen Nov. 13. Prizes will be given to the two people who collect the most.

Phi Theta Kappa is hosting the event with assistance from Health Services and Vista Community Clinic.

A table will be set up in the Student Center and the contest will run from 11;30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Participants will be given gloves and a plastic bag to fill with cigarette butts collected from the campus.

Psychology teacher '111aking a difference' By lan Clark

Tll'E TELESCOPE

Each year, one full-time faculty member is presented the Distinguished Faculty Award.

Roger Morrissette, Palomar professor of psychology won the award for his excellence in teaching for the 2005- 2006 academic year.

The award is received only once by any faculty member at Palomar and much of the voting is through students.

"If the award suggests that I'm

making a difference in students' lives, then that's the bigger reward," Morrissette said.

Morrissette said there are many excellent teachers at Palomar and he feels honored to have received the award.

"It's great to be recognized by your peers and by your students," Morrissette said.

Recently, Palomar began making the winners of the Distinguished Faculty Award the keynote speakers at the commencement ceremonies.

Morrissette said he was nervous when first hearing about the speech. However, the anxiety soon faded.

"Commencement is such a fun time to celebrate,'' Morrissette said. "As long as I keep a celebratory tone, I think it will be enjoyable for all."

Morrissette said he is focused on reaching as many people as he can at the May 2007 commencement.

Morrissette specializes in teaching biology in combination

with psychology. This is often and called psychobiology Morrissette said it emphasizes how the brain interacts with one's behavior.

"His depth and knowledge of both psychology and neuroscience is unsurpassed at Palomar,'' said Mark Vernoy, professor of psychology and dean of social and behavioral science.

Because Morrissette used to teach in a biology department and now teaches in a psychology department, he feels that he is on the edge of both fields.

"Being on the edge is exciting,'' Morrissette said.

Morrissette said that many students have a difficult time seeing that a good deal of psychology is biological.

Morrissette had received his doctorate degree in neuroscience at UCLA. He was faced with the decision of working at the state college level or coming to Palomar. He said he chose

Palomar so that he could focus on teaching.

Psychology Professor Fred Rose said Morrissette has a good reputation among his students. ''When he teaches, he gets his students excited to learn," Rose said. "Roger makes his students want to go get their degree."

Rose said he has even sat in on some of Morrissette's lectures in hopes of acquiring some of the enthusiasm for use on his own students. Rose said he has tried to observe and learn as much as he can from Morrissette's awardwinning teaching style.

"He brings to his classes an enthusiasm for his discipline and his teaching that keeps his students engaged and always wanting more,'' Vernoy said.

Morrissette said that his job as a professor is to expand his students' realm of reality.

"If I open a realm that changes their direction in life, that's about as exciting as it gets," he said.

Students learn from war veteran pilots

By Shahr·azad Encinias THE TELESCOPE

Palomar College students took a field trip to Denny's to share breakfast with war veterans. There were 80 people at the event. Only the war veterans and Palomar professor Joseph Bagnall's History 102 class attended the event.

Veterans shared memories and pictures with the students during breakfast. Many of the veterans brought their pictures from World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War and the Gulf War. The veterans have been meeting for many years every Wednesday at the same Denny's in Oceanside for breakfast.

This time students and veterans sat together at tables.

The veterans recruited students to their tables to share their experiences with them.

Tim Deering, History 102 student, said he really wants to return next week.

Deering shared a table with Bill Ryherd, a World War II veteran. Ryherd had a movie made out of one of his most memorable experiences during the war; "Shot from the Sky," aired on the History Channel.

Deering said he saw the

movie months ago with his father when it aired and was so excited to meet the man behind the true story that he had to call his father and tell him.

"It's really nice to hear their stories," Deering said. · Ryherd was a sophomore at Texas A&M when he volunteered to got to war in 1942.

During his time in war he was mistaken for an enemy and sent to a concentration camp where he spent one month sleeping outside. When he returned he graduated from USC in 1952.

War veteran Charles H. Huebsch flew with Charles Lindberg during his time in World War II. Huebsch took pictures oflocations before and after bombs were dropped and Lindbergh flew above him to protect him from enemies.

Huebsch was 20 years old when he joined and served from 1942 to 1945. He flew over the South Pacific and he lived with a native headhunter tribe for 10 days when his plane ran out of gas. The island where he landed was 100 miles from a Japanese training camp.

"I thought I was going to be there forever," Huebsch said.

When he lived with the natives they taught him how to spear fish for food. He said he also had to change his attire to fit in.

He made a grass skirt and wore it over his underwear because the men didn't wear anything under their skirts.

"You had to be young and stupid to survive," said

Huebsch about his experiences in war.

Bagnall knew about this weekly event and told his History 102 class said student Mark Wessling. Bagnall told the history department about his field trip idea and was approved.

"It was a really good experience," Wessling said.

Tom Brokaw called the generation that beat the Great Depression and World War II the greatest generation.

"Here is a splendid chance for our students to meet and converse with members of that generation," Bagnall said.

"This is a good opportunity for good fellowship, fun and bonding."

Student leaders set goals for year

THE TELESCOPE

With student issues in mind, Palomar's Associated Student Government members set their goals for this year.

ASG members said the goals are problems that affect students and need resolution.

The ASG said it has prioritized the issues and aims to solve them throughout the year.

The three goals are ASG awareness, transfer students participating in commencement ceremonies and improving student e-mail, said senator Robert Frederick.

TRANSFER STUDENTS WALKING DURING COMMENCEMENT Vice President Michelle Eichelberger said as a student, she was discouraged when she found out that transferring students weren't allowed to walk during commencement despite having earned just as many units.

"Transferring students should be allowed to walk," Eichelberger said. "After all, commencement means a beginning."

Transfer students currently have a transfer day where they are acknowledged.

However, it is nothing in comparison to the commencement ceremony, said ASG adviser Bruce Bishop.

Eichelberger is in the process of drafting a resolution

to present to Palomar's governing board. If approved, transfer students could walk as early as 2007.

Palomar student Stephanie Loscher, a psychology major who plans to transfer, said walking in commencement would give her a sense of accomplishment at Palomar and a push to continue her education.

"We put m the same time and effort as anyone else, " Loscher said.

RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THE ASG Frederick said students always have concerns and don't know who to take them to and the ASG is there for them and they need to know that.

Fr€derick is designing a banner that promotes the purpose of the ASG to post on bulleti~ boards throughout the campus as well as in the Student Center.

Frederick said word of mouth will also be used to promote the ASG, so members will walk around campus talking to students and handing out business cards.

The ASG is also looking into getting permission to put up signs along the side of the buildings facing the main walkway on campus.

Palomar student Shaina Harris said she knows that there is a student government, but that she wouldn't

approach them with her concerns.

"I could just as well write a letter to the governing board myself," Harris said.

$11-$18 per hour/ Customer Service $9 (760) 744-7946

STUDENT E-IIIL Eichelberger said student email was a problem because when students logged on to Palomar's e-services and clicked on View My Financial Aid, students had an option of putting in a preferred e-mail address, and it was deceiving to students who expected to receive financial aid information through their preferred emails and never did.

Frederick said Palomar Web site administrators have resolved the issue.

The new e-services Web page set up has made student e-mail accessible to students as soon as they log on to e-services.

The ASG's annual retreat took place in Rancho Bernardo. Bishop trained the ASG on proper procedures.

The ASG retreat is paid for with student funds, which come from the student activity budget.

Members had a chance to get to know each other in order to work more efficiently together, Frederick said.

"Organization is the key to success and a good way to get things done," Frederick said.

Once these goals are met the ASG will review student concerns and prioritize them once more, Frederick said.

Superheroes don't always wear capes.

All students ~ should vote yes on both to improve the future of Palomar College and four year schools.

Prop. 1D will allow for the. construction of about 3,000 new community college classrooms. With the help of Prop. 1D, Palomar can place a larger amount of money into transforming the more than 50-year-old buildings into suitable learning environments. · If Prop. 1D passes with 55 percent ofthe votes, community Golleges will receive about $3.1 billion.

Honors.·. program would .benefit college

By Nicole Callas THE TELESCOPE

Palomar College needs an honors program to help challenge students and to compete with students from other colleges to get transfer priority.

The Faculty Senate is considering implementing an honors program for students. Palomar is one of the only community colleges in California that does not use an honors program, and we as students are suffering for it.

While students here get credits to transfer, students from MiraCosta College who are in the honors program could get priority admission into a university.

For people like me who worry about transfer acceptance, it isn't fair. By implementing an honors program, Palomar students could have the opportunity to rise above the stack of applica- · tion papers and finally get guaranteed acceptance along with other benefits.

If students think they are safe with the Transfer Admission Guarantee program, they should think again. Even with completion of all transfer requirements and program requirements, .acceptance into the major of students' choices is not always guaranteed. Some majors such as biology at UC San Diego are so impacted that the TAG program cannot always ensure a spot ..

The fliers and promotions for TAG appear to be semi-false advertisements.

What students need is ·a program that works every time when it is followed. An ·honors program could compensate for TAG's inconsistencies, and students could get priority acceptance.

So many people I talk to are concerned they won't get into colleges such as UC San Diego because it's impacted. I don't blame them, especially since they · are competing with honors students from dif-

Most people are not willing to change out of the major they love or the college they want to go to. An honors program would give them the shoo-in they need.

Four artists show lighter side of death

By Ian Clark TilÂŁ TELESCOPE

Four different artists have come together to celebrate Dia de los Muertos at Palomar's Boehm Gallery. The show, which opened Oct. 28, is called "Retablos, Milagros y Marigolds. Dia De Los Muertos: The Four Views."

"The four views only confirm that our processes are distinctly different, but our end result connects ... " said artist Helen Shafer Garcia.

The three other artists are Jane LaFazio, Michael de Meng and Judith Parenio.

Dia de los Muertos, which means Day of the Dead, is celebrated annually on Nov. 1 and 2. It is a day to remember and honor the deaths of ancestors.

The artists have paid tribute to the loss of friends, loved ones and even pets through the use of their artwork.

Each used their own style in this exhibit to create works having to do with the ancient Aztec holiday.

"I hope many people get the opportunity to see it, and be inspired by the variety of emotion and technique," LaFazio said.

"Each piece tells a story, sometimes sad, sometimes whimsical, but always clear to the viewer if they read into the work in an accepting, soul-searching way," Garcia said.

The four artists have traveled in Mexico periodically for PHOTOS BY DORA M. LARIOS DE CASTNER 1 THE rmsc:oPE several years.

that are important to me," Garcia said.

Garcia said that some of the work is. strongly related to the Mexican theme, while others are loosely based.

LaFazio is showing mostly art quilts.

"I made one quilt from the 35-year-old love letters from an old flame," LaFazio said. They are called "Ralph's Letters" and "Ralph's Envelopes" and will be featured in "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" magazine in 2007.

Parenio will be featuring many of her shadow boxes, which are in-set platforms hung on the wall that contain 3D objects.

De Mang's work is heavily influenced by Latin American culture. He is the co-founder of Missoula's Festival of the Dead, another art celebration of Dia de los Muertos.

LaFazio and Garcia have exhibited their Mexican themed show in various locations every year.

"Inviting Judith and Michael to show their work has truly enhanced the look of the Dia de los Muertos theme," Garcia said.

Garcia, who has never displayed her work at the Boehm Gallery, said she was delighted to be invited to the show.

"This gallery has amazing space and light and Viky Cole did an outstanding job of hanging the display," Garcia said.

"I'm so honored to be here," LaFazio said. "This is the best exhibition of my career so far."

The Boehm Gallery is open Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This show will be up through Nov. 17 and the admission is free.

Guitarist brings back famous folk tunes sively in the last decade.

Between songs, Rafael told stories about his life, his band and the work he has accomplished. He told of his award and the fulfillment he gets when performing in front of an audience.

Rafael is also a member of the national touring cast of "Ribbon Of Highway Endless Skyway," (a revue honoring Guthrie's songs and writings). "Thuring is a big part of my love for music" Rafael said.

War was a theme for a few of his songs and Rafael said "War is always settled through negotiation which takes time." He continued by saying the lesson should have already been learned by our society.

In 1995, Rafael won the Kerriville Folk Festival's New Folk Emerging Songwriter.

"It has been a non-stop journey since then," Rafael said.

Music has vocalized many issues that challenge society and this was a chance for students to see that.

The concert will be rebroadcast Monday afternoons at 3 p.m. on Palomar's Radio KKSM 1320AM. It can also be viewed on Cox DigitalChannel 958. A live web cast is offered by the college at www.palomarperforms.com Concert Hour is held at 12:30 on Thursdays in Room D10 through the rest of the semester.

The Palomar Performing Arts Department presented singer songwriter Joel Rafael on Oct. 26. The Campus Explorations theme of Concert Hour was work and labor, which paralleled the songs performed by Rafael. The event was centered on the expression of ideas and issues through the art of music.

Students filed into the room, filling the auditorium. David Chase kicked off the event in by introducing the audience to Rafael. Rafael has been on tour for 10 years, playing with many famous artists and performing his oWn material for the masses.

Rafael, a folk guitarist and songwriter, started by saying how much he appreciated the college and what it does for the community. Being a native to North County, Rafael participates in music appreciation programs such as this one at campuses often.

His first song, "Rambling Reckless Hobo," told the story of an out-of-work hobo who was drafted by the military and sent to war to fight for his country.

"Sharing the music is good for the soul;'' Rafael said. He is one of the most natural interpreters of Woody Guthrie songs and has been a featured performer at the annual ,..-------------------~ Woody Guthrie Festival Apartment For Rent

some students were not happy with the limited choices.

Student Elizabeth Steinbeck through together odds and ends for her renaissance outfit to make a pirate and was a winner for strangest costume.

"I wish there could have been more categories," Steinbeck said.

Steinbeck was happy to win the award.

"I think I got lucky. I was supposed to be doing homework, but saw the contest."

She also said she thought the contest would have been better if more people would have participated.

Other activities included

drawing on pumpkins, a cakewalk and fishing for fossils.

Dressed as an athletic supporter, Pre-Med club member Bobbie Weiss ran the cakewalk. However, not many people, he said.

"The band and the game were not in sync, therefore it was tough getting people involved," Weiss said.

The band, Kingsland, played at the event to promote its upbeat Reggie sound, said drummer Kuntal Patel. Patel is a student at Palomar and thought the school would be a good environment to play their music and give a little school spirit.

The Geoscience Connection had a "Fishing for Fossils" booth set up where students could pay to "catch" unseen fossils at the end of a fishing line.

"It was worth coming and getting involved," student Kim Stevens said. "The artifacts can be saved and collected."

Geoscience Connection member Kyle Kapln said the event turned out better than he expected. He said the "Fishing for Fossils" booth raised money for the club and that they were handing out real fossils. The fossils were 25 cents for one try, 50 cents for two tries and $1 for five tries.

UC looks to challenge affinnative action ban

By Matt Krupnick

MtT NEWS SERVICE

If the University of California challenges the state ban on affirmative action, the timing will need to be right, UC President Robert Dynes said Friday.

Speaking at a daylong conference on the effects and future of Proposition 209, Dynes and others said California's demographics eventually will change enough to overturn the 1996 voter-approved ban.

"I surely want to win the first Oawsuit), because if we lose the first one, we will take two to three steps back," Dynes said.

"We should be pushing sensibly with a reasonable probability of our winning."

Enrollment of black and Hispanic students dipped precipitously across the UC system after Prop. 209 took effect, especially at the most selective campuses, such as UC Berkeley and UCLA. The numbers have slowly rebounded, but university leaders have pushed for more reforms .

At the Berkeley conference, educators and administrators said the admissions process in particular needs to change to prevent minority students from being affected unfairly by gradepoint average and test-score requirements. The system's nine undergraduate campuses admit the top 12.5 percent of high

school seniors, based on grades, SAT scores and other factors.

Before Prop. 209, public universities also used race among admissions criteria.

"I think 209 is profoundly wrong, morally wrong," said UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau, a frequent critic of the affirmative-action ban in the two years since he arrived in California. ''We can't have a truly fair system until 209 is reversed," he said to applause.

Participants in the conference, including several hundred leaders and scholars from across the state, were decidedly against Prop. 209. The event was organized by UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall law school, where Dean Christopher Edley often has expressed his displeasure with the ban.

One panel called for changes to California's Master Plan for Higher Education, a 1960 document that spelled out the roles of the state's colleges and universities. The UC system must reform its admissions process to ensure equal access to students, said Patrick Hayashi, a retired UC administrator who helped write the panel's report.

"A fundamental change is needed if uc is to fulfill its historical mission of being a public university that is second to none and open to all," he said.

Running back Donnell Fulford (No. 28) sprints past Pasadena linebacker Jason Scott (No. 57) in a 45-27 victory on Oct. 28. drive, Pittman once again suffered the same misfortune on the first play, as defensive tackle Zach Hamideh jumped on another loose ball that slipped out of the hands ofthe Lancers' quarterback. It took the Comet offense only four plays to take advantage of the miscue, as Fulford ran in four yards for the touchdown to give Palomar a 31-19lead.

When Lorenzen (nine carries, 37 yards) failed to run the ball effectively for the first time this season, the dual running threat of Fulford (85 yards and two touchdowns) and Diondre Grigsby (85 yards and one touchdown) carried Palomar's

ground game.

The defense continued its second-half reversal the rest of the way, which included three additional turnovers, as Michael Wright intercepted a pass and linebacker Jesse Jones blocked a field goal and ended the Lancers' last bit of fight by picking off a wayward throw from Pittman.

"I'm not surprised by anything this team does," Early said. "We definitely feel we're better than four and four.

We've lost some really close games that we really felt we had chances to win. You could take one play out of each four games we lost and we'd be sit-

ting here undefeated."

Along with the victory, Palomar players were rewarded by words of encouragement from several former Comet football players, who were on hand to watch the game.

Among the players, current Atlanta Falcons cornerback Chris Cash discussed his experience playing at Palomar.

"We didn't have the best teams," Cash surprisingly said of his 1998 and 1999 squads who collectively went 19-3.

"But we worked hard and played hard."

He also stressed to current players to most of all have fun while playing college football.

Cardinals take flight in series, McGwire still grounded

MCf NEWS SERVICE

If you were scoring the World Series at home, there's one error you may have missed.

Mark McGwire blew it again.

The festivities at Busch Stadium could have been the first step toward redemption. It seemed every other Cardinal legend this side of Dizzy Dean was there.

The only sign of McGwire was just that. The "Big Mac Land" sign in the left-field bleachers.

Considering McGwire's behavior, they should change it to Chicken McNugget Land.

He lives in self-imposed exile in California. When McGwire pokes his head out of the hole, he sees a steroids shadow and scurries back to safety.

The thing is, the best way to escape the shadow would be to confront it.

More than anyone, he's in position to become a spokesman for cleaning up sports.

He could be a hero again. All McGwire needs is to admit his failings.

Forgiveness surely would follow.

Instead, all you hear is silence.

"I've moved on from it. I wish the media would move on from it."

That's all McGwire said on the steroids subject in September 2005 at the closing ceremonies for old Busch Stadium. It was his lone public appearance in the town that once adored him.

Now there's an awkward ambivalence when his name comes up.

CHUCK KENNEDY I MCT NEWS SERVICE

Fonner Stlouis Cardilal Matil McGwire vowed to tel the truth in front of Congress it 2005, but faied to comment on his steroid use. Since his reti'ement he has made it a poirt to stay out of the media line light.

St. Louis fans respect the game too much to defend him blindly the way Giants fans coddle Barry Bonds. There is a Midwestern morality involved, and McGwire represented more than just a big stick.

He was seen as a solid citizen and good father. When he hit his 62nd home run in 1998, even sportswriters cried.

He made it to 70, and St. Louis named a stretch of interstate after him. Then

McGwire went before Congress last year and ran off the road.

"I'm not here to talk about the past," he said.

To this baseball town, the words felt like a bat to the shin.

"I think people would have stood behind him a lot more if he'd testified," Shannon Bates said. "These people have families and kids and trying to send a message to them about what's the right

She was at Game 5 on Friday night, bundled up in red and basking in the Cardinals' win. Stan Musial had thrown out the first pitch. Anyone with a baseball connection to St. Louis would have traded a year off their life to be there.

The Prodigal Cardinal must have been watching. You wonder what he felt.

"I miss the game of baseball," McGwire said at last year's stadium closing. "I can't wait for someday when somebody offers me a fantastic job to get back in baseball."

It's already been offered. At the congressional hearings, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland asked McGwire, "You're willing to be a national spokesman against steroids?"

"Absolutely," he said. "I'd be a great one."

Then McGwire turned into the Unabomber, and we only can guess why.

One certainty is that if he's innocent, vanishing is an odd way to prove it. For the Redbird Nation, he's become the family member nobody talks about.

"It's a shame to see how it turned out," Bates said.

St. Louis now can fully embrace guys such as Series MVP David Eckstein.

Nobody wonders whether the 5-foot-7 shortstop takes Human Growth Hormone.

Drenched in champagne, Eckstein roamed the field well past midnight Oct. 27, shaking every hand he could find.

McGwire was somewhere far away. A prisoner of an error only he can erase.

Green added.

With their recruiting success and the taste of displeasure from last year, the Comets said they will be more competitive.

"We have 15 good players," Gonzalez said. "We could sub in five players at once and not lose anything."

The team makes it obvious that there is no emphasis on individual goals.

They understand that the success they want doesn't involve personal achievement.

As with any team any year, the goal is a championship. Titus doesn't hope for it. She expects it.
