Tax override issue will be re - submitted to voters
District voters will again be asked to approve a 19-cent override tax to bolster the college's operational revenue at the June 4 primary election. The Board of Governors unanimously voted at a special meeting Monday to place the near-crisis problem before the larger turnout of citizens expected to be drawn to the June 4 election. The tax proposal lost 7,082 to 5.373 in a light vote March 12 when only 12,455 ballots were cast out of approximately 44,213 eligible voters. In recommending the resubmission of the issue in June, Preside nt Frederick R. Huber spoke for the administration., "Our problem hasn't changed . The enrollment increase is a certainty. In the very small turnout of voters March 12, we really did not have a complete statement of viewpoint of the majority. It is noteworthy that only 16 per cent
of the total eligible voters cast 'no' votes." Board Member Richard Loomis, Fallbrook, said, "I don't see that we have any choice but to resubmit the issue." Dr. Bruce Jaques, member from Vista, said, "Our need hasn't changed." Milo Shadle, alsoofVista, said, "Three months ago we all agreed that the 19cent amount was necessary and nothing has happened since to change that. In fact. the new prospect for limiting enrollment in state colleges may seriously affect our problem here at Palomar." Dr. Huber told the Board that since the March 12 defeat. when only about 28 per cent of the voters cast ballots, the budget had been thoroughly reexamined several times and that unless increased operating funds are provided "the results can be tragic for the district." He cited some of these results as
Beth Coleman displays art work In Phil Putman memorial libraty
Many art exhibits have been on display in Palomar's main library; however, never one like Beth Coleman's Her work, currently on exhibition, is a totally different approach to art presentation. Mrs. Coleman's work is shown retrospectively. Accompanying the paintings, sketches and drawings are cards explaining when the work was done, the approach used and a personal comment of value to the observer. Mrs . Coleman has kept her works dating back to the 1930's . As she explained , most artists who paint for a hobby either give away or sell most of their early work. Always dabbling in art. even on the most elementary level, Mrs. Coleman has e njoyed it as far back as she can remember. However, in college she had a desire to delve into costume designing. Recognizing the pitfalls in such a field, she realized designing was not for her. Coming from a very conservative family . and having relatives interested in art, Mrs. Coleman was encouraged to paint exactly what she saw, not emphasizing self-expression or freedom of her own impression. Commenting on freedom of expression,
Mrs. Coleman said, "It was being first introduced in art education in the 1930's but. like most new teaching techniques, was not generally accepted. At that time, abstract and impressionist work was too way-out and weird." At that time , high school art instruction was limited, and Mrs. Coleman spoke of how impressed she was now with the excellent work the young people are presently turning out, at some of the local exhibits in particular. Especially aware of one fact, she commented that there are so many artists that, except for commercial purposes, one might well give up art as a living and concentrate only on painting as a However, she believes if one hobby. takes advantage of the marvelous opportunities offered in our educational systems now, his talent could very well be channeled into profitable areas. Although her first love is portrait painting, Mrs. Coleman has discovered that the average person without too much art background is especially fond of paintings of landscapes and peaceful settings. In her opinion, through these most people can identify. These they can understand, explain and remind them of places they've been to.

being: Inability te employ 19 additional faculty members considered essential for the fast growing enrollment which went up 20 per cent last September; necessity to shift some regular day students; probability that some regular day students would be able to earn only 10 to 12 credit units instead of 15 because of inability to get into certain classes; continued problems in outmoded equipment, some of which has not been replaced or updated in 10 years and now does not meet the standards of the higher grades in the senior colleges and that "there is no question that certain state and federal aid funds are going to be reduced."
Spokesmen for the Faculty Senate and F acuity Association also.expressed favor of submitting the tax override to the larger voter turnout expected June 4. In regard to the last tax override election, ASB president Bob Thoreson saidJ "I would like to thank all the people who canvassed.

Lone male In nursing program achieves dream of other men Many men dream of being the sole man among 33 women. Glen Combs has had that dream come true, and he may occupy that enviable spotlight for at least another year. Glen is the sole male student enrolled in Palomar's nursing education program. How do people react when he says he's a nursing major? "They just act surprised," he smiles. Glen's goal in life is to be a doctor. He plans to earn his nurse's credentials at Palomar, then continue his education toward a doctorate in medicine. While working for his doctorate, he hopes to work as a nurse. But, like most males at Palomar of 18 years, he is worried about the draft. "They are drafting a lot of male nurses when they graduate,'' he says in his quiet voice. "Only about 12 per cent of all the nurses in America are males. Glen earned a local scholarship during his senior year at Orange Glen High School. Few people knew of his nursing plans until he was awarded the scholarship at an awards assembly. To make things an even bigger surprise, Glen himself didn't know he was to receive
the award until it was in his hands. He was the first president of Student Nurses Ass oc iatio n of California, Palomar Local, when the group was formed last fall . Now he is concentrating on bettering his grades for admission to a four-vear college. Glen has been on KOWN radio, and was featured in an article last week which appeared in the Escondido Daily Times-Advocate. Glen admits that the nursing program has probably the roughest curriculain the college. Nursing majors are required to take many hours of lab at local hospital in addition to a number of lecture sessions on campus. Butdespite this, the grade point averages of the nurses were above average, and many earned the Dean's List for academic excellence. Though many persons have applied for admission to the nursing program, Glen doesn't know of any other men who have applied. With the failure of the tax override bond and planned cutbacks in the nurses' program, Glen wil probably remain the only guy among 33 gals for some time to come.
Unification decision entered on June vote A trustee election will appear on the June 4 ballot in conjunction with the unification of the North County into one junior college district. If voters decide to unify1 they will also e 1 e c t seven members to serve on the district Governing Board.
Forms for declaring candidacy and nomination are available at the county registrar's San Diego office. Forms are due April 11. The Governing Board would consist of seven members elected at large from four trustee areas. Trustee area number one comprises the Borrego Springs Unified School District. the J u 1 ian Union High School District and the Ramona Unified School District and would be represented by one trustee. Trustee area number two comprises the Palomar College District and would be represented by three trustees. Trustee area number three comprises the San Dieguito Union High School
District and would be represe nted by one trustee Trustee area number four comprises the 0 c e ansi de- Carlsbad Junior College District, the Palomar Junior College District , the Ramona Unified School District , the Julian Union High School District and the Borrego Springs Unified School District. The decision to form a single junior college district was made last year by the San Diego County Committee on School District Organization and was prompted by state legislation which required that all high school dis tricts in the state belong to a junior college district. Junior college affiliated high school district students in the North County attend either Palomar College or MiraCosta College in Oceanside. The decision to form a single junior college district was opposed by many North County residents, and by Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president of Palomar College and Dr. John McDonald, president of MiraCosta College in Oeanside .
