State budget cuts to affect Palomar MONIQUE GARCIA ;: 'SCOPF

To make up for an anticipated $1.4 million shortfall this semester, Palomar College has enacted a hiring freeze and is looking for other ways to save money, school officials said last week.

In February, Palomar received notice of the huge deficit affecting community colleges throughout California.

Because of this, community colleges as a whole received about a $126.4 million cut in this year's 2007-2008 budget.

"Community colleges just found out that there was a shortfall in 2007-2008 budget," said Palomar Vice President

Bonnie Dowd. School officials are usually about six months into the budget's year when they find out what revenue they will receive.

To make up for Palomar's $1.4 million in lost revenue this year, Palomar has implemented a modified hiring freeze. On March 19 President Robert Deegan released a memo stating the freeze was effective immediately.

"This decision has been carefully considered, and was not easily arrived at. At such time as the state budget situation improves, this decision will be revisited," Deegan wrote.

However, full-time faculty HI BUDGET

Palomar College students will pay $5 more in parking permit fees in the fall semester if they decide to park on campus.

Parking permit to be raised $5 CRYSTAL EVANS L

'

f,

Palomar College parking permit fees will increase $5 for the fall semester, meaning it will cost students $40 to park their vehicles on campus.

In order to keep up with rising costs, Palomar is increasing the parking fees. They need the added revenue to help keep the parking lots up to par for the coming semesters according to Palomar president Robert Deegan.

"This is the first increase in the last five years," Deegan said. "We use the extra money to keep up with the cost of maintenance and security of the parking lots. We don't have any state funds that can be used for the parking lots so we need local funds to maintain them."

The campus has tried to increase the fees two times in the past three years.

Students interviewed recently said that the fee is well worth it if the extra cost to park will help alleviate some of the parking problems.

"I don't really care about the increase in cost," Palomar student Natalie Macmillan said.

"I can see why they are doing it. I think it's kind of good because the parking lots suck. I had a class at noon last semester and I could never find a parking spot. Most of the time I had to park by the houses even though I had purchased a parking permit."

One of the uses for the extra money will be adding additional student and faculty parking spaces.

"We are going to be putting relocatables in the faculty staff lot 16 because we will be demolishing the life and earth science building," Deegan said. "We will be adding more than the number of spaces that we'll displace.

There will be an increase in parking spaces for both students and faculty for the fall semester and the price increase will allow us to add the spaces."

The new parking spots will be added to parking lot 9 by the soccer fields and to parking lot 12.

MiraCosta College is currently in the process of trying to raise its parking to $40 as well.

Palomar's increase will place them in the upper range of parking fees charged by other TU If

It fluctuates.

"We have to take what the government gives," McMullen said. "If you had a stable funding formula, it would off-set the fluctuation and there would be easier negotiations with various union groups and a lower stable tuition rate for students."

McMullen's background in government finance led him to ask the board to consider a master plan and the need for a bond measure.

With antiquated facilities and more campuses needed McMullen and fellow administrators created the Master Plan 2022, in 2003.

"He is one of the first ones to stand up and say, 'The students aren't comfortable with this; let's revisit it,"' Associated Student Government President and Student Trustee, Jesse Lynn said.

In an interview with the North County Times in October 2004, McMullen said one of his top issues was to "ensure that a majority of the board of trustees puts the needs of the students first, and make sure the taxpayers get their money's worth."

Looking back, McMullen said he felt had since been accomplished.

Ruth Larson, a fellow Governing Board trustee, said she admires his leadership, respectfulness and "his letting everyone talk. Really wanting to be financially responsible. I like how he is connected to the community."

"This board has worked together very well.

NEWS 13 You don't see the public bickering like there used to be," said Neill Kovrig, President, and Council of Classified Employees. "When it comes to this board, dissent really doesn't happen."

He added, "Our governing board is excellent in the way they delegate authority and reach compromise."

"Darrell has a very even keel and he doesn't let emotion influence his decisions," Kovrig said of McMullen's strengths.

But McMullen also has his weaknesses, Kovrig said. "In the past couple months as Governing Board President he has made some statements that have gave me and some of the other group leader's pause."

The statement being referred to was, '"The President is the one person we hire; the one person we listen to,' leaving Kovrig wondering, "Does that mean you won't listen to us?"

Kovrig added that so far, McMullen has listened but "sometimes he plays the maverick card."

Students interviewed about the board's role said they want their leaders to be honest and upfront.

"I think that is important in any authoritative position-Transparency," said Palomar student Kyle Todoulakis.

Others said the board needs to get students more involved. "How can I have a say in the decisions the Governing Board makes?" Palomar student Craig Bushnell said.

OPINION

OUR VIEWPOINT

ltThumbSUP. . thumbs ~own' Fast response by Campus Police THUMBS UP Mter a 44-year-old man sexually assaulted a 20-year-old Palomar student, campus police immediately returned to the scene and apprehended the suspect within minutes of the attack. The quick response of the Campus Police, which allowed them to catch the suspect rather than letting him flee, is comforting. '

THUMBS DOWN After last semester's blackout due to a transformer malfunction, you would think that the facilities department would have figured it out.

Wrong. When the day heated up on April14, the lights went out. As great as the occasional cancelled class is, this blackout problem keeps occurring every semester. ' needs to invest some time in figuring out why Facilities these blackouts keep happening and fix it.

Skin Caner awareness month THUMBS UP Health Services is offering skin screening exams through May 16. The screenings are free for students and $20 for faculty. Especially living in Southern California, skin cancer is an important issue for students to be well informed on. Health Services is encouraging students to make appointments early on instead of waiting until the last minute. '

Softball ends title era THUMBS DOWN The Palomar women's softball team's streak of 22 straight Pacific Coast Conference titles ended this season. No one wants to be the team that ends such a long run, but it was bound to happen. The Comets still have regional playoffs to look toward this season, so work still needs to be done. '

Global warming, not just atrend MELANA PRESTON T.l. .f

~

Shattering to pieces, a massive chunk of the Antarctic Wilkins Ice Shelf suddenly fell into the ocean late march. Immediately, mainstream media sources pointed to the uncertain phenomenon of global warming as the culprit.

Though conveyed as an urgent issue, addressing the state's contribution to global warming, the California Public Utilities Commission voted to charge power customers "$600 million over the next 10 years to fund a green think tank."

According to Gov. Schwarzenegger, the research institute will "bring together the state's preeminent colleges, universities, and laboratories to fight climate change." The project also requires the institute to raise another $600 million in matching funds, making the total cost $1.2 billion. However, if global warming is as much of a threat as indicated by the recent ice shelf collapse, then why a total $1.2 billion over 10 years to "think" about global warming?

While most everyone agrees that climate change is occurring, the causes and extent of the problem remains debatable. Organizations

like the Environmental Protection Agency attribute global warming to human activity, from the byproducts of industry. Others blame solar activity and natural climate change cycles. Still others point to political manipulation of global warming fears as part of a larger agenda to establish a form of unified, global government.

Politicians like Al Gore and entertainers like Leonardo DiCaprio and Madonna have raised awareness through various campaigns and documentaries. Fashion retailers like Levi's have produced items like "Eco-jeans." Many governments have signed the U.N.'s Kyoto Protocol, pledging to reduce global warming causing greenhouse gases.

But how much substantial change has actually occurred? Al Gore may have won the Nobel Prize, but he is yet to convince the U.S. to actually ratify their signature on the Kyoto Protocol. Who enforces the Kyoto Protocol also remains ambiguous.

A free-market economy enjoys great privileges, but are we really "free" to exploit the environment without concern for the world we share and future generations?

Spending $1.2 billion dollars on a "think tank" to explore the issue

over ten years proves an outrageous and socially irresponsible resolution. Costs of a few million might prove justifiable, but $1.2 billion must go toward real, tangible solutions for cutting pollution and emissions. A fraction of $1.2 billion could alleviate California's traffic congestion by subsidizing the cost of public transportation for riders. Lessening the cost of a Coaster or Sprinter ticket would motivate more people to use public transportation. The use of E.Coli bacteria to create hydrocarbons could beGome an even more ecologically and socially conscious fuel alternative than controversial ethanol.

Active development of such potential energy alternatives must become a priority. $1.2 billion dollars could fund solar panels and energy efficient products for housing and commercial properties throughout the state of California.

Ultimately, the greater issues ensue within our own value systems and personal decisions. We shouldn't "go green" because it's the trendy thing to do.

As a lifestyle, we must make more socially and environmentally responsible decisions, simply because it's the right thing to do.

Play 'The Rimers of Eldrich' soon to stun audiences ALMA HERNANDEZ THE TELESCOPE

Palomar's newest play to hit the Howard Brubeck Theatre, "The Rimers of Eldritch," promises to be a thought-provoking and riveting performance.

"The Rimers of Eldrich" illustrates the mockery of morals in society and the cruel reality of discrimination.

Palomar Adjunct Professor Annie Hinton will debut as a director at Palomar College with "The Rimers of Eldritch" a play

by Landford Wilson. The play will run from April 24 through May 4 at the Howard Brubeck Theatre.

"The Rimers of Eldritch" is a 360-degree turn from the most recent plays performed at Palomar, Hinton said.

"This play is dark and brutal," actor Sean LaRocca said.

The setting of the play is a small town in Iowa that is dead and dying with a population of 70, where no one is who they appear to be, and the outcasts are the only ones who see people for what they really are, Hinton said.

LaRocca said he will play a teenage boy named Robert who lives in the shadow of his deceased older brother, who was a star racecar driver.

He said his character could be

Anew play to be shown at the Howard Brubeck Theatre, 'The Rimers of Eldritch,' is aplay about morals and discrimination in a small town.

part of the demented town if he chose to be, but instead his unwillingness to interact with people makes him an outcast.

"It's a challenging piece. There

are waves of overlapping dialogues and scenes are not in chronological order," Hinton said.

"It really makes the audience pay attention and piece things

together."

The character Eva is a 14-yearold crippled girl who is nai:ve and imaginative. Eva dreams of a perfect world, despite knowing that

the townspeople would do away with everyone who was undesirable including her.

Robert and Eva have a unique relationship, she doesn't understand why Robert chooses to be an outsider while she desires acceptance, said Palomar student Kasey Allison, who plays the role of Eva. "Viciousness masquerades as morality in the town of Eldritch," Hinton said. "The truth teller of the town is Skelly, an old man who no one believes and everyone hates."

The name of the play refers to the surface appearance of the town's beauty. Rime is a white frost that falls in the winter and covers the whole town and makes it look like a magical place. The townspeople, like rime, gloss over the ugliness and flaws of the town and its people. Eva falls prey to this illusion and ultimately loses her innocence and becomes just like them.

"The play is different in that all the actors remain on stage throughout the play." Hinton said.

"There is a mix of realism and presentationalism."

Playwright Landford used his life as reference because he was gay in a town like this where he as a person would have died if he had not gotten out, Hinton said.

Unsurprising film 'Drillbit Taylor' disappoints Taylor. Drillbit tells the kids that he is a martial arts master and a U.S. Army deserter.

It might not meet your expectations, but this movie is not that bad - at the same time, it's not quite

memorable either. This movie has its major flaws, but it's actually hilarious at times. Perhaps you should wait for it to come out on DVD and watch it at home rather than pay the expense of watching it at a movie theater, that way you'll get you money's worth.

Panic performs for acause at SOMA ALEJANDRA JACKSON THE TELESCOPE

Panic at the Disco brought the message to "Go Green" to a soldout crowd on April 12 when it headlined the Honda Civic Tour.

The cramped hall was buzzing with excitement as a massive screen showed celebrities like America Ferrera and Panic lead singer Brendon Urie urging concert goers to be energy conscious.

Urie and others followed in the footsteps of last year's headliners, Fall Out Boy, by using their position on the tour to highlight a cause. A portion of total ticket sales will be used to help the environment.

This year's tour coincided with the release of the long-awaited follow up to Panic at the Disco's debut album. "Pretty. Odd" hit stores on March 25. The band had no problem seamlessly blending the techno-tinged sounds of its first album with more folk-influenced "Odd."

The band played the requisite dance songs that made it famous, but kept the heavy techno beats to a minimum, which really allowed Urie to show off his impressive vocal range.

"Pretty. Odd" is a huge departure from the radio-friendly sounds of Panic's first album, "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out," but the audience didn't seem to mind. They sang along just as loudly for the new songs as they did for the ones from the first.

Near the end of the night, guitarist/vocalist Ryan Ross led the audience in singing "Happy Birthday" to Urie, who turned 21 that day.

The audience got another opportunity to contribute when, for an encore, Urie came back onstage to play a solo acoustic version of "Time To Dance" and asked everyone to sing the intro to the song. At the end of that number, the rest of the band took the stage and played two more songs.

It was a great night for a good cause that might introduce fans to a new sound and inspire them to start caring about the environment.

Important interview tips that will help you get the job ALMA HERNANDEZ THE TELESCOPE

Most college students know that deciding on a job field is a quest in itself, but perhaps the biggest challenge is finding the right employer.

Interviews can be a dreadful experience but with the right knowledge, the tables can be turned in the candidate's favor, Human Resources and Training Consultant Sue Arth said.

"Making a great first impression is key in getting a job offer," Arth said. "The interviewer will make up their mind about you in within five minutes of an interview."

PRACTICE FOR THE INTERVIEW Practice in answering typical questions relevant to job-related experience. Life goals and strengths and weaknesses should come easy and not require a long time to respond if the candidate wants to leave a good impression, Arth said. She added that many jobs provide candidates with questions beforehand in preparation for the interview and she recommends obtaining a copy as soon as possible if available.

BE PREPARED When going to an interview make sure you bring any necessary documentation, such as certificates, or work samples, positive evaluations or recognitions, Arth said. If possible, gather all relevant documents ahead of time in case a

copy isn't available and a duplicate needs to be ordered.

In an interview you should ask questions about the company and the position, Arth said. She said the interview is a time when the interviewee is also interviewing the company to ensure that it is the proper fit.

Questions should be specific and appropriate, avoid asking about benefits and vacation time until the job is offered, and instead ask questions like: Does the position have any room to grow? Will the company expand?

Where do they see the company in five years?

DRESS APPROPRIATE Think ahead of time on what to wear to the interview, and try it on for size and inspect the garments for any stains or wrinkles, Arth said. She also recommends being well groomed, having clean finger nails and bathing prior to the but discourages interview, colognes and perfumes.

"Do not wear red, it is a power color," Arth said. "You don't want to make the interview a power struggle."

Women should avoid wearing too much makeup, and wear a closedtoe shoe, Arth said.

BEPUNCfUAL Arriving on time is crucial, if the location is unfamiliar look for it before the day of the interview to calculate the travel time and allow time for traffic, Arth said. Do not

arrive too early either.

BRING THE RIGHf ATITTIJDE "All jobs are customer service, some type of service is provided."

Arth said.

Keep in mind that in most jobs people skills are desirable. Walk in with confidence and a pleasant smile, make sure to introduce yourself with a firm hand shake and maintain eye contact, Arth said.

USTENTOTHE QUESTIONS Listening is important so pay attention to the questions and make sure you understand what is being asked. Instead of answering incorrectly ask for a clarification, Arth said. She said to try to limit answers to three minutes and not get off subject. Try to put yourself in the position by relating prior experience to how it applies to what the company is seeking.

AFTER THE INTERVIEW Exit the interview by¡ thanking the interviewer for his/her time and shaking their hand. Be sure to ask when the company can expect to make a decision for the position Arth said. Writing a thank you letter two to three days later is one more opportunity to remind the interviewer of your qualifications for the job, and what an asset you can become to the company, she added.

Put on your sunscreen and dust off your longboard, summer is almost here COREY BRUINS ;.E 1ELESCOPE

San Diegans find a number of ways to enjoy themselves during the summer. Whether it be hiking, biking or just chilling at the local hangout San Diego summers are never dull. Through San Diego's diverse cross section of cultures and widespread political beliefs, one fact holds true across the board. San Diego summers are all about going to the beach.

San Diego's stretch of over 70 miles of coastline is one of many factors that deem San Diego, "America's Finest City."

For over 150 years San Diego inhabitants have enjoyed the beautiful beaches that the cities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, La Jolla, Pacific Mission and Imperial Beaches have to offer.

With virtually unlimited choices in which beach to chill at over the hot summer days, there has to be some truth about which beach is most popular, which beach is the most family friendly, which beach is best for surfing and which beaches are the most popular overall.

The Telescope's informal survey of Palomar students shows that Tamarack Beach in Carlsbad is a popular stomping ground for North County residents.

Jordan Carruth, who said he doesn't go to the beach often over summer due to work, said, "I've just always gone to Tamarack.

When we say that we're going to the beach, everyone knows that we are going to Tamarack."

Andra McAdams agreed with Jordan.

"While Tamarack may not be the best beach in San Diego, I grew up going there so that's where I always go," McAdams said.

Tamarack Beach is maintained by the state and the parking lot is always packed. Jeff Kassebaum, a photographer, takes family portraits on the breakwater outside of Tamarack.

As for families, Oceanside Pier and La Jolla Cove are popular destinations.

Oceanside offers a wide range of amenities, including a harbor for launching small watercraft, fire rings and awnings and of course, the world famous pier (that happens to be the longest wooden pier on the West Coast).

Much of Oceanside's coastline south of the pier complex is covered with condominiums that rest right on the shore. The beaches in front of these condos are open to the public and are accessible via parking off of Cassidy Street. This section of Oceanside beach is generally not very crowded due to the lack of

The cove is surrounded by a park, small shops, the cave store and an energy that leaves tourists longing for more.

If you've ever been to Swami's Beach in Encinitas, then you know about the tiny parking lot, and what seems like a never-ending flow of cars anticipating an open spot. This is because Swami's is one of the most popular surfing spots in San Diego.

Surfers, boogie boarders and body surfers alike agree that, at the right times, Swami's has some of the best surf that San Diego can offer.

At low tide, Swami's also caters to the ocean life enthusiasts.

What Health Services can do for you MELANA PRESTON 1'4 E1..ESCOPE

"Can you remove this piece of glass from my arm?" a student entering the Palomar Health Services asks the nurse standing near the front desk.

Two other students wait patiently for their doctor's appointment as the receptionist hangs up the telephone. Colorful pamphlets and fliers line the walls with beneficial information on a variety of topics.

Free, easy to read, bookmarks convey an array of information including date rape prevention; treating ingrown toenails; quitting smoking; dealing with emotional crises; drug addiction; headaches; eating disorders; colds; bee stings; and PMS. While the center does perform first aid treatment and some emergency services, the clinic is not limited only to minor first aid. With a wide variety of offerings, the Palomar Student Health Center proves a valuable resource as increasing numbers of individuals lack access to even basic healthcare because of inadequate health insurance coverage.

The Health Center is staffed by several healthcare professionals including a licensed doctor, nurse practitioner and registered nurses. The doctor is generally available Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the nurse practitioner Monday and Friday daytime, and Wednesday afternoon.

Fashion club looks to get word out HEATHER BORSO THF TELESCOPE

The concept of fashion evokes a variety of images. Jackie 0, the little black dress, Annani, Paris, Vogue magazine, Audrey Hepburn, Milan and haute couture.

For too many, fashion is considered an art form and an expression of self. It is associated with style and glamour. By definition, fashion is always evolving and changing.

For a group of Palomar College students, the intrigue and pursuit of fashion inspired the renewal of the Palomar College Fashion Club. The club acts as a creative outlet for students interested in fashion and aims to provide valuable information about the industry to their members and the community college as a whole.

The revival of the fashion club occurred in the fall of 2006, spearheaded by Jenny Bowman, a fashion design and merchandising

student and previous president.

Before Bowman, the club had lost momentum in recent years.

Bowman said she believed the organization would benefit the entire fashion department.

"It allows the students to connect more with the teachers," Bowman said. "It filled the gap between merchandising and design students who have so much to gain by working together."

The members not only have the support of the fashion department, they also share a mutually beneficial connection.

"It's a fun way to have a different relationship with the students," said Nancy Galli, chairwoman of the Design and Consumer Education department. "It's the student energy that keeps us [the faculty] going."

Since 2006, the club has continued to expand and define its purpose on campus. The members, currently numbering about 30 from both fashion and non-fashion majors, use their organization

as a way to experience fashion events outside of the college campus.

"We introduce these opportunities to the people in our club," said Hikari Kaneyama, fashion club vice president and fashion merchandising student. They invite guest speakers to meetings; go on field trips to industry functions and find fashion events to participate in.

Ashley Gaughran, fashion merchandising student and public relations for the fashion club, echoed many of her fellow members' goals for the club.

"The club is a way to get involved in fashion," Gaughran said. "It helps to find jobs and expand your horizons."

Participating in events not only provides opportunities to meet the fashion community, it also allows students to introduce themselves to the industry.

"You get exposure," said Tania Diaz, current fashion club president. "You get your name out there."

One of the many upcoming events the members are involved with is the department sponsored fashion show, held every spring semester. The event is the culmination of all the design and merchandising students' work over the past year. All fashion students, including members of the fashion club, are encouraged to participate.

This year, the show is titled Moda, the Italian word for "fashion."

The name of the show, which suggests a chic vibe and high fashion, will reflect in the theme and overall atmosphere of the show. The faculty and students are especially excited about this year's show as Zandra Rhodes, an internationally known textile designer, will attend. Rhodes' design assistant, Chetna Bhatt, has been helping the Palomar fashion department with the event.

Moda will be held on May 2 at the California Center for the Arts, located at 340 N. Escondido Blvd. in Escondido. The event begins at

7 p.m.; tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door.

The chance to show their work and participate in the fashion community is a rewarding experience and enriches the club members' education.

"It gives you confidence, seeing something you've done on a runway," fashion club member Robin Cross said.

In addition to the goal of encouraging members to become involved in community fashionrelated events, the club also wants to introduce the industry to the rest of the student population.

"We want to educate people that fashion isn't just glitz and glam," Bowman said. "There are lots of opportunities in the fashion industry."

To that end, the group has recently registered with the office of student affairs to become an active club. Diaz stated she feels this gives them more exposure and makes the club feel more official.

INCREASE CONTINUED FROM >;>AGE 1

San Diego community colleges.

San Diego City, Mesa and Miramar College all charge $30, while Grossmont and Cuyamaca also charge $40.

There is a chance this will be the last increase for the college, as $40 is the highest the school can charge according to the California Community Colleges board of governors.

It is possible to charge more, but only if the full-time equivalent student (FTES) per parking space on the _campus exceeds the statewide average FTES per parking space on community college campuses or if the market price per square foot of land adjacent to the campus exceeds the statewide . average market price per square foot of land adjacent to community college campuses.

The school did not randomly decide to raise the parking prices; it has been in process for some time.

"Before we decided to raise the fee we went through the governance process and there was no opposition, even support, from students," Deegan said. "And I think that if you compare it to the CSU or UC parking fees you will find that it is a bargain."

ELLIOT DE LISSER

I "'HE fELESCOPE

College President Robert Deegan said the $5 increase will go toward lot maintenance because there are no state funds that can be used.

Cal State San Marcos charges $248 and San Diego State charges $135.

Despite the much needed improvements, not all students are for the raise in parking

prices.

"The increase in parking sucks," Palomar student Jeff Jauseguy said. "It will be hard for some people who are working and paying for their own

school. I really think that $5 could affect some people."

Another student, Zack Andrews, who works and pays for his own schooling, said he whole-heartedly agreed, though

he understood where the school was coming from.

"The price rising up to $40 is harsh on my wallet," Andrews said. "That increase is a $5 footlong at Subway. But I guess in the end they have to do what they have to do in order to be a good school."

Despite the negative impact to some students, most understand the need for the increase.

"It just makes sense with the rising prices and inflation," Palomar student Kyle Napalan said. "They have to be able to cover their costs."

Even though the school needs the money to maintain and improve the parking lots, they are aware of the monetary effects students will face because of the increase. Yet it still seems that the benefits of the increase will outweigh the negative impacts of the price increase.

"I don't think it will have that large of an impact on the students," Deegan said. "The $5 increase is modest and we always have to address the parking problems. However, we are certainly always cognizant of fees and the students' ability to pay. We try to keep that in mind and keep increases low but at the same time we need to be aware of parking problems and try to solve those."

Memorial in need of makeover Father of Palomar plaque continues to deteriorate DAVID RASMUSSEN THf TELESCOPE

The memorial dedicated in 1957 to the life of Albert and Reba Chanmess located in the Chanmess Garden behind the administration's building is in great disrepair.

Albert Chanmess is known as the Father of Palomar College for his work in the conception and building of the school, according to a 1956 issue--of the now defunct Vista Press.

"It's abominable," said Sandra McCarthy, a Palomar student and artist. ''It is worSe than a shame."

The piece of art is made of plaster over cement and was not "high fired," said Joanna Bigfeather, director of the Boehm Gallery. ''It's not made to be outdoors."

Don Betts, 54, who walks the campus for exercise, noticed that it needed to be repaired since before July 2006.

At that time, the 50th anniversary was coming up in 2007 he "felt it would be nice for it to be repaired for the anniversary."

Betts made a lot of effort to find out who was responsible and what was being done about the problem. ''I did not waht to drop the issue," Betts said. "Somebody ought to take care of it."

Betts ended up getting the runaround when trying to pursue what, if anything was being done about the effort to repair the memorial. ''It's a study in frus{!ation," Betts said.

Bigfeather said that the Boehm Gallery is responsible for all the artwork located on the campus.

"There are plans to repair it," Bigfeather said.

As for fixing the piece, Bigfeather said they would work from old photos the gallery has and recast a reproduction of the piece in clay.

Bigfeather said the cost to fix it would only be time and materials. She said she could not give any exact date for the start of the job.

Now that she is aware of the memorial McCarthy said, ''I care about it and could help be a part in fixing it."

Albert Chanmess died at the age of 83 in 1956 at Palomar Memorial Hospital in Escondido.

In 1957, Dr. Phil Putnam who was a former president of Palomar College, made a special trip from Ventura to dedicate the memorial to the late Albert and Reba Chanmess.

When you open the oldest scrapbook in the library on campus, the first person you will find is Chanmess.

Chanmess was announced the Head of the North County Jr. College Board on May 8,1946.

Chanmess saw the need for North County to have a Junior College prior to 1946.

C~anmess helped in the planning, purchasmg of land and bonds to build the Palomar College Campus we know today.

BUDGET CONTINUED FROM PAGE I

positions will go unaffected and any new positions that needed to be filled before the modified hiring freeze will continue to be filled.

Deegan also wrote, "The vice presidents and superintendent/president will review each position ... as it is vacated and determine if there is a critical requirement for it to be filled."

Dowd said that the modified hiring freeze was in the best interest of everyone involved. There will still be faculty available for the students, but Palomar simply isn't going to go out and advertise job openings.

"This way we don't hire somebody and then say, 'We were only kidding, we can't afford you,"' Dowd said.

In the meantime, Dowd explained that she would be cutting back on other expenditures, attempting to make up the lost funds. But this is only in regards to this year's budget deficit.

Handling next year's budget cuts will be another daunting task.

In January, Governor Schwarzenegger released his budget proposal for 2008-2009, which stated that California will have a $14.5 billion deficit next year. Currently, Palomar is working on a tentative budget to deal

with this shortfall, but will have a better idea of what the budget will be in late September.

"We're going to have to tighten our belts and that may mean that we make sure lights get turned off. That may mean that instead of just doing onesided copies, try to do two-sided copies that's less paper being used," Dowd said. "It will be a matter of making sure we've got classes that have enrollments. It may mean less sections of a class, but it doesn't mean elimination of sections."

If students are concerned with how the budget deficit is affecting Palomar, Dowd suggested that they get involved in Palomar's Associated Student Government. ASG leaders participate in Capitol Day events offered by the Community College League of C.alifornia. These advocacy days provide student leaders the opportunity to participate in lobbying legislators who have an impact on community colleges' budget.

For her part, Dowd vows to protect Palomar's staff.

"We're committed to no layoffs," Dowd said. "We're going to tighten our belt, but not at the risk of our students or full-time employees, faculty and staff; we've got a commitment to people working here and we're going to honor that commitment."

ARIES (March 21.-April20)

UBRA (Sept. 23-0ct:.. 23)

Before mid-week new discussions will offer a fresh perspective on longterm career goals. Someone close will soon actively seek advancement or press officials for special permissions.

Relocation or family changes may also be accented. Ask detailed questions and expect concrete times, dates or figures. Thursday through Saturday romance will flourish: watch for invitations and sultry proposals. Close friends may, however, demand private information: stay balanced.

Over the next few days new business partnerships will require detailed planning and careful investigation.

Financial proposals will work in your favor but may take extra time to fully develop. Research outstanding debts, vague payment schedules or legal requirements. A cautious examination of key facts will provide valuable options. Later this week social vitality may be low. If so, spend extra time with trusted friends: after Saturday confidence and optimism return.

TAURUS (April 21.-May 20) Romantic attraction is subtle but undeniable this week. A previously vague relationship may now adopt a privately seductive quality. Trust your initial instincts. Over the next five days unexpected confrontations and passionate encounters are an ongoing theme. Stay focused and express all doubts and concerns: your needs are valid. After Friday some Taureans may encounter a complex financial or business proposal. Shared ventures are promising: ask for clear decisions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24--Nov. 22) Minor social differences will now rise quickly to the surface. After Tuesday expect friends, colleagues and close companions to express obvious opinions. Areas affected are recent group events, public behaviors or controversial romantic ideals. Listen and gather information: revised schedules and a complex decision may soon be needed.

Later this week older family members may discuss delayed paperwork or annoying financial facts. Stay alert: details are important.

GEMINI (May 21.-June 21.)

SAGmARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21.)

Emotional discussions may this week reveal important social facts. A close friend or relative may soon disclosure a complicated family or romantic history.

Avoid expressing strong public opinions, however, and listen for valuable clues: detailed times, dates or social descriptions may soon prove invaluable. Wednesday through Saturday highlights vital business negotiations with bosses or managers. Pay special attention to minor facts or hidden information: all is well.

Love affairs and unique romantic flirtations are accented over the next few days. Although potential relationships are highly promising, long-term friends or relatives may be unwilling to accept fast social changes. Remain determined: strong opinions and social criticism will soon soften. After Wednesday pay close attention to past financial mistakes. Workplace assignments and political power struggles will soon affect business relations: remain detached, if possible. ¡

Palomar's Shawna Barrow tagged out Grossmont's Stephanie Byrne as the Comets beat the Griffins 8-0 April9 at Palomar.

Offensively, Barrow went 3-for-4 with an RBI and stole two bases to help beat the first place team in the conference.

The sixth inning was the inning that put Palomar in the lead and ended the game.

"I had two strikeouts before I hit the home run and we were working on getting base hits so I had to hit the ball and get on no matter what," Kearney said.

"Then I hit the home run and it

felt great, everyone does there part and I did mine today."

Kearney's home run in the sixth inning netted three RBis and put Palomar ahead with a lead that the Griffins would not recover from.

"The whole season is a work in progress and fortunately they are

picking up at the right time," coach Scia Maumausolo said.

"We just have to continue to work Our pitching is definitely a strength. Today Alex did outstanding and her defense backed her up as well. Our hitting has picked up and that is a powerful strength for a team."

"I was looking for a pitch to hit and he gave it to me so I put a good swing on it and out it went," Renteria said. " The wind was blowing pretty hard but it made it over the fence. I knew the ball was gone the moment I hit the ball."

The Comets will not face San Diego City the rest of the year, sweeping the Knights 5-0 this season.

"We are just finding ways to win the games," Taylor said.

"Today we were able to get a lead but we had a poor day defensively and that kind of takes away from this win.

After finishing the season series with Grossmont April 22, Palomar will be playing first place Southwestern two more times starting April 24 in two games that might decide the Pacific Coast Conference title.

"As a group I think the team knows they can play better than they did today," Taylor said. "To come back and win from behind is great but in the bigger picture we have to play better defense."

Palomar's Nikki Jaime belted the ball in the Comets' 21-2 victory over Mt. San Jacinto. The Comets maintained atie for second place in the Pacific Coast Conference with the win.

The Comets walked away with a 21- 2 win versus Mt. San Jacinto to remain in a two-way tie for second place with two games remaining.

"We're going to just ride the streak into regionals," said assistant coach Lacey Craft, following the team's win.

Mt. San Jacinto jumped out to an early 2-0 lead at the top of the first inning. Palomar answered with 11 runs in the bottom of the first and never looked back.

Freshman Andi Anti went 3for-4 with three RBis and two runs. Anti hit two doubles and walked in the game.

It's the Comets largest win of the season and with the playoffs still at stake it's a great time for the team to be peaking at this point.

"We're tied for second and have two more games to play," Craft said. "We need to continue to keep working hard."

The game was called officially due to the eight-run rule in the fifth inning.

"We play the game like its 00 every inning," catcher Brenda Gill said.

Gill did her part, hitting a triple and recording three RBis and three runs scored. Amanda Bryant also contributed, going 2-for-3.

The top two teams in the conference make regional's. In case of a tie there would be a playoff to see who gets the playoff bid.
