AWS confab hosts JOO local women at MiraCosta J.C. "Speaking in terms of babies, some are born leaders and some are born boys.'' Such was one of the main points of Mrs. Margery Warmer in a speech to approximately 100 area college women at the AWS Fall Conference held Nov. 1 at Mira Costa College. The conference stressed the importance of "The Changing Woman" in our society, and the significance of women and the roles they play. Mrs. Warmer, dean of women at San Diego State, addressed the assembly, which included students from six area colleges. Twenty girls from AWS and WRA represented Palomar at the conference. Each school was given a buzz session topic to discuss. The topics and schools that attended are: "Role in the Community," Grossmont; "On-Campus," Mesa; "Effective Communication," Southwestern; "Career and Family," Palomar; "Our Influence on the Next Generation," San Diego City; and "Role in Politics," Mira Costa. Under the subjectheadingofawoman's influence in the home, the students from Palomar discussP.d "Career and Family." Among the questions asked were, "What is the woman's traditional role?'' "How does one best prepare herself to meet the many roles of a woman?'' and "What is the change that the woman's role has gone through?" Random comments were expressed on a number of subjects, including !)education ("By going to college the woman has gone a step further than those who marry right away. She can always go back to it."); 2)the traditional role of woman ("Woman's place is in the home."); 3)equality ("Woman is more significant now. Now she is becoming equal to man."); and 4)preparing to meet the roles of a woman ("By being aware of what's around you. Through experience one can truly l earn and by learning new things everyday can make us a ware.'') The conference concluded with a general assembly where st::ssion leaders reported on the findi ngs of their gr.oup.

Some student cars he re may soon be wearing pretty yellow parking tickets if their owners continue to park them in faculty slots. ASB Judicial Committee Chairman Bill White announced late Friday that both he and the administration have been receiving increasing complaints from faculty and ASB officers who find t heir reserved spaces occupied by unauthorized cars. White said that while the practice has been to leave a warning on the offender's windshield, in many cases, it has not been heeded. He added that if the cars continue to be illegally parked that the administration would have no choice but to ask the police to start issuing citations.

many Uni ted States galleries and his entry in the Boehm exhibit is in acrylic and collage on board , done in 1963. Outstanding among the sculptures is "Spectre I", a figure cast in aluminum by John Battenberg, who is fascinated with objects of World War I. He collects old uniforms in junk shops and has done works in laminated fiber glass using parts of World War I planes --an Ansaldo wing section, a Fokker D7 aileron, and a Fokker DR I hanging in a diving attitude from the wall with a cast aluminum pilot, leather seat, and machine works. Such works have been described by Art News as "dashing, decadent and awful" and "gruesome and delightful". '!'here are anti- war connotations in Battenberg's sculpture. His pilots are always empty uniforms with neither faces nor hands. His war heroes are indeed "hollow mP-n". Australian-born Brett Whitely is represented by "New York I", a combination of sculpture in which yellow dominates, because he feels that yellow is the major color of the city. Materials in his contribution include oil, photography, and chrome . Whitely now lives in London, but has spent the past year in New York painting. Pol Mara of Belgium has entered her
oil painting "Why Always Run?" . "Mad Woman" is one of the Kabuki Se ries by Mo r r is Broder son, and was composed in 1963 in mixed media on paper. Philip Pearlstei n is a New York painter who has exhibited at the Carnegie Institute and extensively in Penns ylvania and New York. He is a r egular contributor to "Arts" magazine. Roy Schnackenberg is r epresented by "Woman With Green Bir d", a polyester resi n form - canvas painting. One of the largest paintings in the exhibit, it measures 91" x 65". Joseph Raffael has in the exhibit "Couples", a collage and oil done on canvas in 1965. James Strombotne has e ntered his sculpture "Two Bathe r s ".

Other artists inc luded in the di splay are sculptor Niki Saint- Pha lle, whose "F r ederica" is composed of "material on chicken wire" with a base; and John Wesley, a New York painte r who has an oil entered .

Ghanian foreign student faces deportation by U.S. By Jim Time is running out for one of the best like d students at Palomar College unless the students here do something about it. Ben K. Appiah, a native of Ghana who has chosen to go to school here has come under fire by the US Immigration a nd Naturalization Service as an indirect result of that decision. When the school term began in September, Ben was living with a family in Alpine and in order to get to school he faced a round trip drive of over a hundred miles eve ry day. The longdistance drive didn't seem to faze the young African until one foggy morning last month, on the winding road that leads from Alpine, he totaled the compact car he was driving,and only his good luck allowed him to escape the crash with nothing more serious t-han cuts and bruises. Right after this mishap, Ben finally decided that it was time to move closer to school and that's when the trouble started. When the Ghanian student announced his decision to get closer to San Marcos, the family of Christian missionaries with whom he had been living decided that they could no longer bear the burden of his sponsorship. When the immigration service learned of this, they notified Ben that his visa was thereby cancelled and that he had two months to find another sponsor or face being deported. In order to sponsor a foreign student, the sponsoring agent, be it an individual or a group , must post a $1,000 surety bond with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Suddenly the young, black man found that he had friends he didn't even know. When Palomar student George Anderson heard of Ben's predicament he contacted
Strain ASB president Kim Clark, and together they decided t hat if no one else came forward then somehow the students here could raise the money. T hrough the Inter- Club Council, the International Club was put i n charge of the investigation of the ways a nd means of posting a bond for Ben. Engineering instructor William Bedfor d got in touch with the INS in San Diego and assembled the details of regulations and rules for such sponsorship as well as reassuring the federal agency that a solution to Ben's plight was in the works. Several instructors as well as the Escondido doctor who treated Ben after his accident volunteered to put up sizeable amounts toward the bond, but so far the ICC is holding this strength in reserve as the plan seems to be for the students to somehow do it themselves. At last Thursday's ICC meeting, t he possibility was discussed of having some sort of bonding agency put up the money as a stopgap until t he students can raise it. Another committee was appointed to look further into it. At present the effort seems still somewhat disjointed and unorganized but ICC president Ron Simecka has pr omised that by this Thursday's meeting concrete plans for fund raising will definitely be introduced. In the meantime, the usually placid Ghanian seems just a little apprehens ive as , reassurances notwithstanding, his fate is still up in the air. Nevertheless , the ICC in its accus tomed slow fas hion, is gathe r ing its resources, and by next week we s hould hear of s ome definite plans to go on. Students are advised to start saving their "Bucks for Ben."
