Pala Indians aided by school classes By Carolynn Stedd Mr . William L. Bedford and Mr. Gene M. Jackson, Palomar instructors, perticipated in summer courses for Indian students in Pala. Classes in English, modern math, physical science and speech were offered, besides a class in Indian culture taught by the Indians themselves. Field trips to Santa Ynez and Sherman High School were also included in the program . Commenting on the summer classes, Bedford stated, "Both the students and
the teachers felt sufficiently free t hat they did not have to limit courses to ordinary course material. We discussed the things that they wanted to know." Most of the Indians were taking these courses through the Educational Opportunities Program (EOP). State funded, the EOP provides an opportunity for minority students to complete their education despite academic and financial roadblocl<Q Jackson feels that "colleges have inherited the job of correcting problems ·of the minority student." With the
expansion of the EOP, this responsibility is finally being recognized. Jackson further believes that the junior colleges are in the best position to utilize the EOP program. ''In the past it was assumed that junior college education was equally free for all students." There are extras, however, that must be paid, such as books, fees, and transportation. So that ''for the student who would qualify for EOP, even the junior college is very expensive." Along with the EOP should come
"studies that offer recognition and respect for cultural differences. Minority students see nothing in school that speaks to them specifically." This year at Palomar there are nine courses offered in multi- cultural areas, compared to the two offered last semester. "I think minority students at Palomar feel that they are listened to and respected. The multi-cultural studies not only change attitudes but also develop a sense of worth in the students themselves."

Publishers cost blamed lor rise • • 1n text pr1ces The reason for increased textbook prices this year was given as increased publi sher's expenses, according to Mrs . Virginia Dower, bookstore manager. Figures released in a recent study on where the textbook dollar goes s hows that over $.59 goes for publishers e~ penses . The breakdown is $.07.8 to the publisher, $. 05.5 to publisher's services, $.06. 3 to other publishers expenses, $.27 to publishers production and editorial expenses, and $. 13 forpub lis hers sales and pr omotional expenses . Further breakdown of the textbook dollar is over $.12 to the author and $. 08 to tax'e s. The bookstore then operates on a breakdown of $.10 out of every dollar for salaries, and $. 07 for operating expenses. This leaves the bookstore a profit of $.03 out of every textbook dollar. Mrs. Dower also explained the stores' used- book policy, stating that both new and used books will be bought back at the end of the semester. "Let's say you buy a new book for $6 at the start of the semester, then you can receive $3 as buy-back value at the end of the semester. If you buy the same book used at $5 and it is in good condition you will still receive $3." "The only exception to this is on books which have been revised," added Mrs. Dower. New items being sold in the bookstore this year include leather goods, such as belts, vests and purses. "And don't forget we have a record sale scheduled for November that will include all top albums.''

Two new evening classes are being offered this semester. They are defe nsive driving and metaphysics and meditation. Defensive driving is a course in which the chief objective is to teach people how to drive and stay alive by preventing all accidents, t he small ones and the big ones. The course is composed of seven sessions, of great value to all drivers and a must for the over fifty driver. Defensive driving will be taught on Thursday evenings from 7 to 10 p.m. in ES- 19. Mrs. Alice Lamon, who has taught this course in the Los Angeles area for several years , will teach defensive driving. This course is recommended by the National Safety Council and the certificate of completion for this course work entitles the student to better acceptance as a risk in automobile insurance. Metaphysics and meditation will attempt to help young people find themselves and solve their problems through meditation and develop into integrated and contributing members of society. The student is introduced to metaphysical literature and given techniques and postures to aid in personal meditation. Mrs. Elaine Peich, who will be teaching this course Wednesday evenings in C-7 from 7 to 9 p.m. studied at the Institute of Mentalphysics in Los Angeles under Dr. Edwin J. Dingle, who spent time training in Tibet. She is a member of the Self-Realization Fellowship originated by Paramhansa Yogananda and studied Yoga and SelfCulture under Sri Ram Sukul.

With increased interest in the minority needs and the EOP program, the minority enrollment should double or triple, says Jackson. He adds, however, "The minority courses cannot be developed or redesigned without more qualified minority educators. We need more minority groups represented on faculties." The changes pointed out by Jackson will take time. "Educating people to develop their own culture and educating the dominant culture of a society is a fantastically complex problem which won't change in a couple of years."
