Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down
Palomar's womens basketball team
THUMBS UP: The Comets went 14-0 in the Pacific Coast Conference. Winning the PCC title outright for the first time in seven seasons. Coach Jennum in her first year as head coach received PCC coach of the year.
Lack of Wi-Fi availability on campus
THUMBS DOWN to Palomar's lack of consistent Wi-Fi availability on the San Marcos campus. Palomar needs to catch up with the times, accessible Wi-Fi is not only convienant for students but cuts down on number of students who use the library computers, freeing up space for those who don’t have computers. Come on if Mira Costa has campus wide accessible internet for students with lap tops why don’t we?
“Think red and gray before you toss it away”
THUMBS UP to Palomar College for joining 2008 Recyclemania. Recyclemania is a competition that encourages waste reduction among college campuses throughout the United States. Palomar is one of 400 colleges across the county that has joined in the effort to increase the amount of recyclables they collect.
The bums have gots to go—Holla!
THUMBS DOWN to the increasing number of transients on Palomar's San Marcos campus. Their presence is not only an annoyance but inappropriate. This is a college campus, not a shelter. If the 24-hour, Wal-Mart security guards can keep them off their property, then there is no reason why Campus Police should have a problem doing the same.

THUMBS UP to Palomar College’s Police Academy Class 16, who will hold three fund-raisers between May and August to raise money for fallen officer Deputy Jeffrey Mitchell’s family. Class 16 has already held three fund-raisers since August 2007.
