NEWS BRIEF About 700 people saw "The New Cinema" film series this past weekend. Audience reaction was described as "ambivalent" by the office of Adult Education and Community S e r vi c e s which sponsored the program.

The movies generally cannot be seen but in a special program of this type.
Underground press' legality still undecided A final decision on the matter will come when the Publication Board meets after receiving the interpretation from the County Council. The Publication Board met yesterday and decided to seek an interpretation from the Council of the section that refers to thedissemination of literature on the campus. The County Council is the legal advisor to the B o a r d of Governors. Legality of Likeitis, Palomar's underground newspaper, is not yet definite. Final decision will be made after an interpretation of a section of the Education Code is received from the County Council by the Student Publications Board. The Board agreed to approve t he publication only if the editors will make an effort to seek faculty sponsorship and agree to go through the channels of official approval. It was brought out in discussion that the college is libel in the case of a suit , whether or not the publication has ASB or administrative approval. The editors of Likeitis had previously planned to appear before the Student Council to explain their publication , but both of the editors couldn't be there at the same time. The newspaper was
brought to the attention of the Council because of a charge being levied which is contary to state law. The Council directed the Publications Board to make a decision and review the publication.
