HARSHALL DORNIN
Gallery theft reported The theft of a Yugoslavian ceremonial coat from the Dwight Boehm Gallery was discovered Tuesday by Russel Baldwin, Gall~ry director. This is the first incidence of theft since the gallery opened in spring of 1965. The article belonged to the late Dwight Boehm, for whom the gallery was named. The collections on display were art objects belonging to the Boehm family. Baldwin is making a campus and community wide plea for the return of the article. He stressed, "If the coat is returned no questions will be asked. And if any information regarding this theft is brought forward it will be held in confidence. "The coat may be mailed to the college or left in some safe place on campus and any information should be directed to me," stated Baldwin. Baldwin described the coat as "a hard woven fulllength white wool coat with a black ornate geometric yoke ~d sleeves." Baldwin theorized on the manner of the theft. "It seems likely that .two people may have removed the article. It was on a free standing panel and pretty well secured. Two could have done it with one standing guard."

Eastman displays in Boehm Gallery Two displays of the George Eastman House Collection will go on display today with a reception at 11 a.m. in the Boehm Gallery. The show ends February 25. "W. Eugene Smith" is the title of one of the exhibits . Smith's twenty-five photographs were taken between 1954 and 1962. The photographs displayed are representative of the personal techniques Smith introduced to the profession of photojournalism. "I hold Smith in very high esteem having attended a seminar in photo-
journalism conducted by him in August 1966 at the University of Oregon," stated Justus Ahrend, photography instructor. "I believe Smith is the greatest photojournalist alive," he added. It is through this acquaintance that Ahrend suggested Smith's exhibit to Gallery director, Russell Baldwin. The second exhibit of six prints each by Carl Chiarenza, Nicholas Dean, Don Donaghy, Bill Hanson, George Krause, and Jack Stuler, is entitled "Six Photographers . '' The purpose of the show is to acquaint the public with the works of significant younger photographers.
New council officers to be installed The annual Installation Banquet to welcome new Student Council officers will be held February 1 at The Quails Inn, according to Robert E. Bowman, dean of student activities. "The dinner will be held in the Lake Room of the Inn at Lake San Marcos," Dean Bowman said. "All outgoing and incoming council members will be present. The outgoing members will receive certificates for their services."
Student effort needed The student body of Palomar has the opportunity to form into a powerful and effective student group supporting something of prime importance to both the students and the citizens of the surrounding communities . The opportunity offered is active participation in the campaign to pass the March 12 tax override election. If the measure passes it will provide the college with income urgently needed for normal operational costs for the next five years. Organization of the student group will be in the first week after the spring semester begins. Palomar's President, Frederick R. Huber, will CIJ.ll a special explainitory convocation. He will fully explain the organizational ideas and basic mechanics to what hopefully will be an effective mass of interested Palomar students. Students can play a large part in passing the override which will most directly effect themselves. Dr. Huber defined the student group as a "highly personalized effort in which we want to make contact with individuals."
Revenue from the desired 19 cent override is essential to the college community in several ways. One reason is the enrollment increase of 20 per cent this fall , 10 per cent more than expected . The figure is expected to jump nearly 400 to make the total day enrollment 3000 by fall of 1968. "The steadily increasing enrollment year after year has created definite problems for students and faculty. They will intensify in September unless more operating funds are forthcoming. It is difficult at the present time to maintain quality instruction because of the heavily-loaded course due to class overflow and class sizes in excess of faculty manpower. "Present college income simply is insufficient to handle to increasing enrollment with the standards and the academic efficiency necessary in an accredited junior college such as Palomar has been in the years past." stated Dr. Huber. He went on to explain the specific areas where the funds are needed.
"Employment of 19 additional faculty members to handle the increase in students and the existing overload; purchase of new equipment essential to maintaining the instructional program in several critical departments (such as Science and Business); replacement of equipment which has become obsolete during the past ten years; and funds to make up anticipated reductions in Federal and State aid this coming year in the amount of approximately $200,000. The ramifications of losing the election are grave for the future of the college. Dr. Huber explained, " Curtailment is imperative in the 1968-69 school year and following in several basic college functions unless such revenue is provided." He cited several examples such as curtailment of day enrollment . in some classes; curtailment of bus services; curtailment of or discontinuance of Adult Education classes." Certainly those com munity members who are enjoying the current benefits of the college's program (continued page 2)
This is the first piece of work W. Eugene Smith did after recuperating from severe war injuries. The illustration of the children walking from darkness served as an inspiration for Smith. Because his hands and face had been so greatly damaged while making a landing during the war, Smith thought he might never use a camera again. According to Justus Ahrend, photography instructor who attended a show at which Smith presided, "the picture was a symbolic reawakening for the photographer. Taken about 1947, the symbolism in the picture gave Smith the courage to go on." Smith's work can be seen in the main library.
