Recently, members of the U.S. House of
Representatives have come out of the
woodwork to explain outrageous overdrafts drawn off the House Bank. These
overdrafts reflect Congress' growing
distance between its members and the
needs of its constituents. Voters now have
the opportunity to retool Congress.

LARRY BOiSJOLIE/PIONEER
Although automobile burglaries
and thefts representee most common
property crimes committed on college
campuses, the problem has yet to
surface at Cal State San Marcos.
But, with vehicle thefts on the rise
in San Diego County and a permanent
campus site slated to open in fall, it is
probable thatCSUSM, like many other
college campuses, will become a
prime target for car thiefs in the future.
Dora Knoblock, of Student Auxiliary Services, said that CSUSM has
received no reports of vehicle thefts
or break-ins since instruction began
in fall 1990.
Because CSUSM holds its classes
at a temporary site, would-be thieves
might not realize that a campus exists.
The parking lot currently being used
is also heavily patrolled during hours
of instruction by Wells Fargo Security.
Although other campuses have staterun police forces, officers have more
ground to cover than those at CSUSM
and are rarely visible.
"College campuses are the ideal
picking ground for cars," said Boyd
Mahan, head of the Palomar College
Campus Patrol.
Mahan said that due to the higher
concentration of cars, thieves have
more chances of finding a vehicle that
is easy to break into without detection.
Car thieves also are assured that students will be awayfromtheir vehicles
for at least one hour. Both factors
make college communitiesripeareas
for car thefts.
Since Palomar College is located
in the same general area and now has
approximately the same number of
students as is expected at CSUSM in
the future, current car theft patterns at
the community college could give an
indication offiituretrends at the university.
According to Mahan, Palomar
College experiences six to seven car
thefts in one year. Other car break-ins
and thefts of stereos and accessories
are more frequent. He said Campus
Patrol receives at least one call a week
reporting a car
break-in.

iSÄ äi ÏÏÎ State University,

PART THREE
IN A SERIES State school to
CSUSM, has a
much higher rate
of theft than does
Palomar College.
A recent article in The San Diego
Union rates SDSU as one of the prime
target areas for car thefts in San Diego
County. Fifteen vehicles a week are
stolen from the campus.
Throughout the CSU, SDSU has
the highest rate of vehicle thefts.
Lieutenant Tom Schulteis, from
SDSU's Public Safety Department,
said that the occurrences of car thefts
at SDSU reflect the size of the campus.
"We have a very high incidence of
property crimes at SDSU," Schulteis
said. "But if you look at the figures
closely, rates of theft are relatively
proportionate."
Not only the size, but the location
of the SDSU campus may be a contributing factor to its high vehicle
theft rate.
San Diego County has the highest
rate of vehicle theft in the state of
California, with an automobile stolen
every 15 minutes.
Local law enforcement officials
say that vehicles are stolen to transport
illegal aliens from Mexico. The high
incidence of drug abuse in the county
is another contributing factor.
"Many times, cars are stripped
down for their parts," said Michael
Franklin of the Escondido Police
Department. "Thesa parts can then be
easily pawned for a few quick bucks."
Franklin said that the recovery rate
for stolen vehicles in -San Diego
County runs about 60 percent In many
cases the recovered cars are stripped
down to theframe.He said that rates
of theft are so high that the police
department rarely investigates episodes once the vehicles are recovered.
"We would spend virtually all our
man-hours tracking down thiefs if we
followed up on every car that was
stolen," Franklin said.
Automobile thieves are selective
of the types of vehicles they take.
Eleven of the 15 most stolen cars are
Toyotas. The 1988 Hyundai Excel is
the mostfrequentlylifted vehicle.
Franklin said that Toyotas and
Hyundais are popular because they
are easy to break into and their parts
are easy to sell.
Trucks and vans are also popular
items for thieves. Franklin said that
stolen trucks and vans are frequently
used to smuggle illegal aliens across
the border.
Motor vehicle thefts throughout
the nation comprise the highest dollar
amounts of property crimes. In 1988,
it was estimated that $6,408,806,000
worth of automobiles were stolen
throughout the nation. A more recent
1991 survey indicates that vehicle
thefts have risen 12 percent since that
time.

March cannot slip by without me
writing something on nutrition since it
is National Nutrition Month. And what
else to write about but cholesterol, a
frequently dreaded subject by many.
The latest news is that a panel of
experts convened by the National Institutes of Health are recommending that
knowing your total cholesterol levels
alone is not enough. They also recommend you need to know the status of
your high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
cholesterol - the so-called good cholesterol.
HDL-cholesterol is considered to be
protective against heart disease since it
is believed to prevent or possibly reverse fatty deposits in the coronary
(heart) arteries as well as in other arteries.
In general, total cholesterol levels
below 200 milligrams per deciliter of
blood are considered to be normal.
However, 5 to 10 percent of people
have total cholesterol levels of less than
200 and are thought to be at lowriskbut
have unhealthy low levels of HDLcholesterol. Levels below 35 milligrams
per deciliter of blood are considered
highriskfor heart disease.
What determines your level of HDLcholesterol? The two major factors are
HEALTHNOTES
BY DR. JOEL GRINOLDS, .M.D.
genetics and gender. Your family genetic background could be the root of a
low HDL-cholesterol level. Women
have higher levels than men mostly
related to hormones. After menopause,
the levels can be closer to men. It is
often said the higher the HDL level the
better and for every one (1) milligram
increase in HDL, there is a 2 percent to
3 percent decrease in heart disease risk.
Even though your HDL may be low
because of genetics and gender, there
still are methods to increase the HDL
level.
The most significant method to increase your HDL is by guess what?
Exercise! Funny thing how your body
works. This usually has to be aerobic
exercise, of course, but no one can tell
you specifically how much exercise will
raise the levels by so much etc.
Secondly, weight loss, if needed,
will increase the HDL and usually lower
the total cholesterol. Lastly, if you
smoke, stopping will increase your
HDL.
As you might expect, not everybody
agrees with these new recommendations. Some doctors think that if one is
at low risk for heart disease, a total
cholesterol is all that is needed. Certainly, if one has known risk factors
such as family history of heart disease,
hypertension, obesity, diabetes, tobacco
use and sedentary life-styles a full cholesterol evaluation is recommended.
At Student Health Services we always do a full cholesterol evaluation
because our laboratory will do the full
evaluation for a very low cost and we
feel the information is useful.
Another point is that no decision
about treatment or life-style should be
based on one measurement. Although
the total cholesterol and HDL don't
vary from day to day by much, there can
be lab errors. At least two measurements a week apart should be performed
to make appropriate decisions concerning treatment or life-style changes.

THE "FULLCODKriK
Voters should bounce congressmen out
With thePresidential primaries at hand, it would
seem that the only office for contention on the
November ballot is that of the Chief Executive.
Every four years voters neglect the equally (if not
more) important task of electing Congressional
representatives. Over and over, those who previously held office regain their seats without having
to put up much of a fight
Recently, however, public attentions have been
diverted from the Presidential campaign to Congressional activities. With "Rubbergate" bounding
into thepublic spectrum, voters are suddenly aware
of the types of persons they continually elect to
manage public fimds.
By using the now-defunct House Bank, Congressional Representatives could write checks and
attain loans without having to pay interest or
charges for overdrawn notes. Given such freedom,
296of the440members and delegates in the House
of Representatives abused their privileges and
overdrew their accounts.
Once this bad check scandal hit the presses,
Representatives emerged in droves to admit their
overdrafts and to play on public sympathy for
forgiveness.
The March 23,1992 Newsweek lists Congressional rubbermeisters and their excuses f or
bouncing checks. Although, on the surface, some
of these rationales may seem valid, there exists
underlying currents of deception in their justifications.
House members, in an effort to gain public
sympathy, come up with alibis to which the common
person can seemingly relate. Buttheseexplanations
show j ust how s everely o ut of t ouch
Congresspersons are with their constituencies:
Robert Dornan (R)v California — Wrote one
overdraft for $100 to buy stones for a backyard
LARRY BOISJOLIE
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
shrine to the Virgin Mary.
Dornan might have cinched the die-hard
Catholic vote with this plea, but alienated all
other religious factions in the process. What
Dornan actually bought was $ 100 worth of stones
to be used at his political execution.
Duncan Hunter (R), California—Overdrew 407
times in three years, totalling $129,225. Hunter
said scholarship donations were the cause.
Maybe Hunter should take advantage of those
s cholarships and l earn how t o a dd. T he
Representative* s political statement indicates that
he takes a pro-education stance. The key to revitalizing education, however, lies in using real
money and not floating funds for its support.
Gerry Sikorski (D)y Minnesota — Admitted to
671 bad checks in just over three years totalling
$119,966.67. Sikorski blames his wife Susan for
mishandling the finances.
This common excuse among Congressional
representatives plays on the myth that women
have no control over their spending habits. Not
only should Sikorski and others like him lose all
votes from women (yes, Congressman, women
do have therightt o vote)» they should also lose all
votes from the legions of political correctnoids
who stress that wome%are just as shrewd at
business as men.
Curt Weldon (R), Pennsylvania — Had one
overdraft for $2.49.
How can we expect someone who c an't accommodate his checking account to cover a check
for a couple of dollars to balance the federal
budget? People who write $2 checks shouldn't b e
in public office anyway. They shouldn't even be
allowed in the grocery store.
Charles Wilson (D)v Texas — Penned 81 bad
checks, including a $6,500 note to the Internal
Revenue Service.
Wilson's bad check to the IRS reflects Congress* tactic of granting themselves pay increases.
The amount of Wilson's bad check to the IRS
would pay his salary for about one month. By
bouncingachecktothegovernment,Wilsonplaces
the entire burden of his own financial support on
the taxpayers. Besides, any otherperson who writes
such a large non-sufficient funds check to the IRS
would be guilty of tax evasion.
What "Rubbergate" illustrates more than anything, is the need to entirely retool the Congressional machine. For decades voters have paid little
attention to whom they wereelecting to control the
country's purse strings. In 1990, for instance, 96
percent of the incumbents who ran for reelection
regained their seats. Voters seemed to virtually
ignore candidates' platforms, opting instead for
familiar faces.
As a result of voter apathy, the U.S. now has a
stagnant Congress that cannot balance a budget,
wallows more in pork-barrel projects than the
public interest, and enjoys numerous perks.
L et's use "Rubbergate" as an opportunity to
bounce the ineffectual politicians out of office and
replace them with representatives which truly reflect the public interest
EDITORIAL
the process of funding the establishment of a Student Union.
As students of the future enjoy the
Student Union, they may not be able
to recognize a lot of the students that
built the complex. They will, however,
recognize the classes that didn't contribute. . .....
Imagine the conversations: ' The
first class of CSUSM was all right.
Some of them established an Associated Student Government, started a
yearbook* a newspaper and some interesting clubs. But the class as a
whole was too cheap to contribute
$20 a semester to build a Student
Union."
What else will happen if students
d on't contribute to the establishment
of a Student Union? Nothing much.
Students will save $20 that probably
will b e wasted sometime throughout
the semester.
The burden will go on to the next
class, thus prolonging the construction
of a Student Union. The planning has
already been delayed a year when
students voted against a Student Union
f ee in the 1991 elections. Don'tdelay
it any more.
In the upcoming elections, April
27 and 28, vote yes on Measure A.
The fee measure gives three price
options: $20, $ 15 and $ 10. If money is
the only factor f or a no vote, then
compromise: vote yes and check option C for a $10 Student Union fee.
If students do contribute, the $10
to $20 will b e well spent Then students
of this first class will have the option
of coming back to their Alma Mater
and enjoy what they have built and
tell their children and grandchildren
"This is the Student Union I helped
establish!"
Invest is the future of CSUSM:
Vote yes on Measure A.

A THOUGHT!
"You can't separate peace
from freedom because no one
can be at peace unless he
has his freedom."
MALCOLM X, 1960
Finals are once again upon us, however, this
time it is different for me. This will be the last
time I will ever take a final at CSUSM because
I am graduating this semester.
As I reflect back on my experiences at
CSUSM, I am constantly reminded of the challenges that I have encountered; from the 2,500word writing requirement in each class, to the
global awareness classes taken outside my major
mid upper division G.E. requirements, not to
mention my core major requirements themselves.
Just getting to CSUSM was a challenge.
Trying to keep up with the constantly changing
G.E. requirements for acceptance here was
stressful enough. Working to keep my head
above water, neglecting my family and social
life just went with die territory.
But part of my reflections that are most
special to me are the circumstances of how I
actually made it through CSUSM. I was never
really into school when I went to high school,
just average grades and no college prep classes
for me, I thought I could just surf every day (I
still do) and that would be enough.
When I decided to go to college, I was at a
disadvantage, with no college prep classes under my belt, and spent quite a few semesters at
MiraCosta College paying for it in prerequisite
classes. I finally came over the community
college hurdle and was ready for CSUSM.
Still unsure of myself and my ability to
complete a bachelors degree, there was one
person who really helped me take on the challenge. This person gave to me the self-confidence that I needed and gave me not only the
emotional support/but die financial support
also. This person is my grandfather, James
Ronald Sagel.
Grandfather has always supported me in
whatever I have wanted to do, his only requirement was that I was happy doing it.
Whatever made me happy, he was happy helping
me do i t
So when I decided to go to college, he was
behind me and gave me the courage and confidence to take on an area of my life that was not
one of my strong points.
When I got accepted to CSUSM it was one of
the most rewarding days of my life and his also.
I could hear the pride in him as we spoke on the
phone that day. He wore the CSUSM T-shirt,
thatlboughtforhim that summer before CSUSM
began, all the time.
To the man that made this dream possible for
me, it is ironic that I returned from his memorial
service the day I actually started class at CSUSM,
on the first day of classes at our new university
in the fall of 1990.
P ve made it because of my grandfather Jim.
As I await for the acceptance letters from grad
schools that I want to attend, and feel a little
uneasy about that challenge, I can hear my
grandpa say, "Jimbo I know you can do it if you
want to do it. I believe in you."
Thanks to you gramps, I know I can. The

Ad unfair: Give
students a choice
Once again, I picked up a copy of the Pioneer, excitedabout what this week's issue would
hold, and once again I became angry. I enjoyed
all of the articles, which I usually do, but the
articles are not the problem. What really aggravates me is your Birthright advertisements.
Birthright and other Pro-life organizations
are well known for their use of deceptive advertising; they often lure young pregnant women
into their clinics and shove pro-life views down
their throat. I find this practice to be despicable.
We are a growing university which has a
large population of women, some of whom
might have to make an important decision about
parenthood. I believe that this type of advertisement is unfair.
If you must run pro-life advertisement then
surely you can also run pro-choice views. This
would at least give our students a chance to
make up their own minds, without undue pressure from our newspaper, in other words, give
us a choice.

donations of $5
I am writing in response to the letter written
by Tanis Brown in the March 17 edition of the
Pioneer. In the letter she proposed that each
member of the 1992 graduating class contribute
at least $5 toward the building of a Student
Union on the new CSUSM campus.
As part of the student body at a new university such as ours, we have an excellent opportunity to become involved and make an impact on
the future of CSUSM. Unfortunately, it is hard
for many of us to find extra time to help. I, being
one of those people, would like to thank Tanis
for her suggestion. Although I am not a member
of the graduating class, I would be happy to
contribute to the construction of a Student union
building. I support the concept and challenge
other student to contribute to this important
venture.

LARRY BOISJOLiE/PIONEER
T he story of Ramona and
Allessandm is a tale of love and
racial discrimination that h as
entrenched itself deep within t he
history of California.
T he legend, as written b y
Helen Hunt Jackson, recounts
the tragic plight of Ramona, a
half-white, half-Indian woman
who is raised b y rich Spanish
Catholics in the s tate's early
mission system. R amona f alls i n
l ove with Allessandro, a p oor
Indian, and f alls victim to the
prejudices heaped u pon t he
Indians b y the Spaniards and t he
early white settlers.
It is a story that h as b een

personally i nterface w ith t he
history of t he local Indian

Students said the class
emphasizes Indians within t he
realm of California. It contrasts
how history is portrayed and
h ow it really is.
' The class gives u s a c hance

Clark, a singer with the San

i iose in attendance of the Indian
Fair a f ew basic characteristics
of dancing and singing of the
North American Indians.
Clark said the dances of the
North American Indians are
separated into two distinct areas:
the northern and southern plains.
' The southern plains style of
the dance is d ifferent," h e said.
"Most dancers will dance
sunwise (or clockwise) following the path of the sun.
' The northern dances will
dance in the perimeter counterclockwise in a protective role.

Several dances that were
exhibited were the Scout or
Sneak U p dance where a dancer
is "hunting f or a particular game
of some p rey;" this allows the
dancer to become a more
" efficient stalker," Clark said.
Bill Whitehorse and Daniel
Mason demonstrated the Eagle
Dance and the audience participated in the Friendship Dance.
A d ancer's dress is also
written in several d ifferent
languages. " They are in the

"There are many variations of

Happy times are here again—sort of
Patio Playhouse actors need to
relax and enjoy the good'times
D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
The play "Happy Times/' written
by Samuel Taylor and directed by
Jack G. White at the Patio Playhouse,
is an endearing and reminiscent production, but it also tries to solve the
same problems that arise in today's
society.
A young boy named Bibi, bordering manhood, observes the happiness
and pitfalls of love within his own
household. He has a drunken uncle
with a domineering wife, a traveling
uncle who gets love wherever he can,
an old feisty grandfather who loves
all women, and a crazy father who
makes a living of vaudeville, through
these men, the young boy learns about
women, love and about being a man.
Some of the actors of the Patio
Playhouse need to relax and enjoy the
parts they are playing. When Daniel
C Morris, who plays the travelling
Uncle Desmond,firstarrives on stage,
his lines are presented so quickly that
he cannot be understood. As the play
goes on, however, his speech slows
and he relaxes into his role.
Ian Boyd needs to f ed comfortable
playing the character Bibi. At times,
this viewer feels apprehensive, waiting for Boyd to relax and enjoy his
character so that the audience can
enjoy him.
Also, the characters at times seem
to be standing at attention, with arms
pressed to their sides, legs unbending
and bodies stiff. They look like sentries waiting for the command to move.
These actors need to feel comfortable
with the directions and confident with
their places on the stage.
Other actors, like Jerry Moorehead
playing Uncle Louis, are excellent.
Moorehead's demeanor is natural, and 7
he puts energy and enthusiasm into
his role. Uncle Louis is always drunk,
and the scene with him and his prospective son-in-law is wonderful and
funny. Both Louis ad Alfred, played
by j . Dennis Riddle, keep the audience
laughing and wondering what will
happen next.
Another excellent performance is
executed by Sue Jones as she plays
the part of Aunt Felice, Uncle Louis'
wife. She presents herself on stage
with an air of confidence. Her character screams, insinuates and takes
over the entire scene when she is
around. I like her character and the
Peggy Schneider, left to right, Jerry Moorehead, Sue Jones and David Y. Smith star in 'Happy Times,' playing at the Patio Playhous
Escondido through April 19. For tickets call 746-6669
way she presented her on the stage.
There is a touching scene between
father, played by David Y. Smith, and
Bibi. The father tries to explain the
difference between love and desire,
and when Bibi finally catches on,
both rejoice; so does the audience.
Some of these actors have never
been on stage before, and some of
them have limited stage appearances. 'Happy Times.'
All try very hard to make this an

'Lawnmower Man' needs some more trimming on its predictable plot
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
The actual lawnmower in "The Lawnmower
Man" is a perfect representation of the movie: a
standard piece of equipment, just spruced up a
ot.
Loosely based on a short story by Stephen
•Cing, ' The Lawnmower Man" has the standard
Frankenstein p lot A scientist, whether he's
nad or not, creates a creature or thing that is not
vhat he anticipated.
Movie-goers have seen variations on this
heme before and "The Lawnmower Man" folows the predictable Frankenstein pattern flawessly. This Brett Leonard film, however, is
surprisingly entertaining; after all, Frankenstein
s a good base to work with and this futuristic
/ersion has a few visually stimulating scenes.
The creation in "The Lawnmower Man" is a
computer simulation called Virtual Reality.
Established to be used as a military program,
Virtual Reality transports the subject into another world - a world of computer bits and bytes.
The program'sauthor, playedby Pierce Brosnan,
deviates from his military goal of the experiment when he starts using a human subject
Brosnan's scientist chooses the man who
mows his lawn, Job, to be his first human
subject. Jeff Fahey performs a convincingly
stupid gardener who has never grown to his full
potential.
Job is fed knowledge - and lots of i t He
learns Latin in two hours, becomes a master at
historic art and the sciences, stands up for himself, gives up comics and picks up a sex life.
This new creation, although extremely intelligent, still remains stupid.
Job learns with his new intelligence that
there is no separation between mind and matter,
and his electronic world starts to integrate with
everyone else's real world. In this new electronic
world, Job is God and i t's up to the scientist to
control him.
So the conflict is set: mad scientist trying to
stop mad creation. The story brings in a lot of
"Frankenstein," some "Charly" and a bit of
"Brainstorm." There's no new material in the
plot or conflict.
But what "The Lawnmower Man" does add
to the entertainment field is an amazing expansion of electronic animation. Computergenerated material is slowly being added to the
movie realm. Used in "The Last Starfighter"
and in several new Disneyfilms,computers are
making their mark.
Computer animation is what saves "The
Lawnmower Man" from being a boring rehash
of old plots.
The difficulty and artistic standards evolve
with the story. This creates some repetition of
some sequences and electronic scenes, but it all
leads to a spectacular grand finale. Job transforms
himself into energy and into zips the mainframe
computer, thus controlling the world's electronic
world. His first cry to his realm is when all the
phones, everywhere, ring at once.
The story is definitely predictable, but the
hint of King's suspense and an abundance of
computer animation make it worth seeing on the
big screen. Waiting for this one to come out on
video will take away the effects of the electronics,
leaving the movie with little to save itself. See
this show at a matinee, however, when it costs
half price.
And when the phone rings, be a bit more
skeptical when the gardener is on the other end.

Hospital finds cure for
bland institutional foods
Atone time, hospital cuisine ranked
equivalently to airline food or high
school cafeteria slop. But now some
health care institutions take their food
preparation as seriously as they do
their patients.
When I went to Palomar Hospital,
located on Valley Parkway in
Escondido, I expected to find a meal
that would keep me at the facilities for
a few days hooked up to the stomach
pump. What I found was a wellrounded healthy menu that was prepared with surgeon-like precision.
Palomar Hospital's cafeteria is, as
one would expect, spotlessly clean,
but without the antiseptic feel of oldtime hospital diners. Pleasantly colored tables and chairs add comfort to
the small eating area. I didn't get the
feeling that I was dining in an operating room. I felt gastrically comfortable.
Of course, the service is a buffetstyle. Due to the frenetic nature of
hospital workers and visitors, table
service would be out of the question.
The get-it-yourself ordering format
iSoLLEGIATEioURMET
BY L ARRY
BOISJOLIE
also offers the customer the opportunity to view the food before it is
decided upon.
I chose a fillet of cod smothered in
a lemony caper sauce. The cod was
very moist and perfectly flaky. Much
to my surprise, the caper sauce added
a continental elegance to my meal.
Although I really have no idea what a
caper is, the tiny morsels were juicy
and delectable.
The fish was served with rice and
mixed vegetables that tasted as if they
were freshly prepared. There were no
freezer-burned veggies in the bunch,
a luxury I didn't expect in a HealthCare facility.
The whole fish dish with a slice of
tangy, flaky cherry pie and a cup of
coffee is priced at a healthy $4.75.
My wife had a hunk of freshlybaked lasagna. The fare was loaded
with sauce and cheeses, with noodles
that were neither over-cooked nor
under-cooked. The hospital's lasagna
was barely a step below my own
homemade creation. Coming from
someone who lives to make lasagna,
this is high praise.
With the lasagna she ordered a
bowl of navy bean soup. Because
Palomar Hbspital cares about the
health of its diners, the soup was a bit
under-salted, an, ill that can be easily
remedied with a dash or two from a
shaker.
The lasagna, bean soup, a bowl of
Jell-O and a medium soft drink is a
orderly's dream at just over $5.
There is also a grill at the Palomar
Hospital cafeteria, where customers
can order anything from a cheeseburger to a tuna-melt.
I ordered a patty-melt. The sandwich contained not one, but two
quarter pound patties of beef smothered in melted Monterey Jack cheese
and served on grilled rye bread. The
hamburger far surpassed any found at

cornbread and creamy chicken with
mushroom potatoes.
Of course there still remains those
foodsknownashospitalstaples. There
is a refrigerator stocked full of yogurt,
fresh fruit, Jell-O and prune juice.
One of the most remarkable facets
of the cafeteria is the mass quantities
which it produces. The same dishes
found in the cafeteria are also served
to patients receiving treatment in the
facilities.
Generally speaking, visitations to
hospitals are not pleasing experiences.
Unfortunately, we all end up there
either as patients or visitors.
If you or a loved one is interred in
a room at Palomar Hospital, at least
you can find some comfort in the
knowledge that the food you will be
eating won't contribute to your ill
health.
