Vacancies remain for European tour Openings for six more orth County students still remain in the second annual photography-study tour of Europe, departing June 24 under the auspices of the Photography Instructors Association of Southern California in cooperation with the Foreign Study League.

Deadline for those wishing to join the tour has been scheduled tentatively for March 31, according to Justus Ahrend, Palomar photography instructor who is again organizing a orth County sixweek tour of central Europe. Last year Mr. and Mrs. Ahrend were counselors to a group of 18 students on a 42-day trip that took them to 10 countries.

This summer, the Ahrends will accompany an equal number of high sc hool seniors and college students on the picture-taking cultural-study tour that will take them to nome, Florence, Zurich, Madrid, Paris and London. Side trips in the all-inclusive, student-rate tour have been scheduled to Lichtenstein, Austria and Germany as well as many other points of interest.

Ahrend said that the trip will start from Los Angeles International Airport with a jet flight directly to nome where the group will make its headquarters for fi ve days before heading north to Florence by train.

"Emphasis throughout the trip will be on photography,~ A hrend said, "but there wil l also be c lassroom lectures on the cultural aspects of the countries visited.

Qualified local instructors chosen by the Foreign Study League will conduct these classes. The broadening of scope, understanding and knowledge of foreign lands and peopl e will be an important objective of the tourprogram.

The trip is not limited to students with previous instruction in photography, Ahrend said. "Students without previous photography experience will receive instruction at meetings to be schedu led

prior to the trip as well as while on tour."

While in Rome the students will view the ancient Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. Traveling north to Florence, the capital of the Renaissance and home of Michaelangelo and DaVinci, the group will visit museums and palaces in addition to a side trip to the leaning tower of Pisa.

While in Switzerland there will be trips to Feldkirch, Austria; Laundau, Germany; and Verduz, Lichtenstein. From their headquarters at the University of Madrid, they will visit the ancient city of Toledo, tour the famous Prado museum and attend a bull fight.

Following a two-day visit to the Chateau area of France, the group will make a five-day stop in Paris where they will visit the Louvre to see such famous works of art as the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. A visit to Versailles is also scheduled.

The London stay will include visits to Parliament, Westminister Abbey, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Picadilly Circus and a West End musi cal.

The study program has been planned and cosponsored by the Foreign Study League, an educational service of the Trans am e rica Corporation. Three units of credit will be given by Palomar College to students successfully com pleting the course of instruction.

Six branches of the University of California are still accepting upper division applications for the Fall of 1971.

These include the UniversitiesofBerkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Riverside.

The Berkeley campus will accept upper division applications for the College of Agricultural Science s , College of Chemistry and College of Engineering only.

The Davis campus will acccept only upper division applications for the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences except for majors in design and child development, and will accept upper division applications for the College of Engineering.

The Los Angeles campus will accept junior standing applications (84-120 quarter units of transferable work) in art and engineering only.

The Santa Barbara campus will acccept advanced standing applications except for majors in studio art, and may be required to r e strict late applications for majors in English, psychology, social sciences and sociology.

The Riverside campus continues to accept advanced standing applications except in the Interdisciplinary major in social sciences.

Students are reminded that each of the campuses listed require that applicants have completed Lower Division requirements for the major as listed in that campus' General Catalogue.

Overseas employment for wi !ling students A new twist to the solution of summer jobs for college students has been announced by EUROJOB, a Greenwich, Connecticut based program, affiliated with the American Institute for Foreign Study.

Having acknowledged that jobs will be increasingly difficult to locate in the United States this summer, many students will find that EUROJOB has the answer. This program offers a wide c hoice of jobs-- ranging from a farm job in the Swiss Alps to a secretarial position in London--in over 10 European countries.

Students interested in this program are invited to write for further information to EUROJOB, Department INR, 102 Greenwich, Connecticut 06830.

Dr. Russell Kirk

Photo department expands classes Way back when in 1963 when the old barracks building was still standing where the new music complex is now, a photography course was started by Justus Ahrend, head of the communications department, with 12 students .

Today approximately 175 students are enrolled in the many photography courses offered and many are still being turned down due to lack of room.

Because of the popularity of the course, a new instructor, Ross Russell, was added .

Russell teaches a new course on 35 mm color film to the adult education class 7-10 p.m. Thursday.

In order to accommodate the large sign-ups for the course, two other photography classes have been added raising the number of beginning photography classes to five.

Presently, the photography department is the only department in which its c lasses meet and utilize its facil ities when no others do. This new concept of continuous utilization was made possible so that more students would be able to take photography.

Why Draft Repeal'

Students' lives not their own (Ed. note: Why Draft Repeal ? This is the second of a series of nine a rticles dealing with this question.

This installment deals with the students' point of view and was written

by Rick Jahnkow of Palomar.)

To understand the plight of the student facing the draft, one must know a little about deferments and ''channeling.' ' Channeling was the policy adopted by Selective Service, under the leadership General Hershey, with the belief that what the nation lacks, the draft should provide.

If tradesmen were needed, the government would use the threat of induction to coerce men into trades which offered deferments.

If there was a scarcity of teachers, again deferments would be used to channel men into teaching professions.

Channeling did not consider the right of eac h individual to determine the direction of his own life, only what would be best for the nation.

As it happened, the government determined that the nation could best profit from its young if they would go to school, receive training, get degrees, re-enter the mainstream of society, and use their abilities to promote the ''nation's welfare." Hence, student deferments.

Not all young men, when they turn 18 and register for the draft, want to immediately rush into another four years of school and the necessary work involved, while at the same time struggling to stay alive .

For many, school is simply not the right place for them to be during this period of their lives.

In counseling I've often had someone come to me and say they'd like to travel or just "bum" around, but because of the draft they could not.

What if the only other choice is to enter the military and they don't want to?

Of course, many draft registrants with other situations can obtain deferments for other reasons. But the fact remains that a large number of students today are in college because they felt they had to be or face the possibility of induction.

Part of being eligible for an undergraduate deferment (II-S) is the ne.:. cessity of maintaining normal progress.

That is, in a four-year program, a s tudent must have completed 25% of the req_uired credits after the fir s t year, 50% after the s e c ond, and so on.

If it take s an extra te rm (over four years) to graduate, the n-s will be lost. So a student who wants to stay in s c hool and also remain deferred must maintain a full load of study.

Many students coming to me for counseling find this the most upsetting part of having to rely on a II-S. It confines their lives. Having to go to school full time can affect jobs and how many hours one has to work--which, cons equently, can affect health, plans for marriage, living conditions, being able to travel, etc.

It can also cause a student's education to suffer. 'fhink of how much better it would be if one didn't have to cram so much learning into four years .

For the last year and a half I've been taking only three and four classes a term, roughly half of what I'd need to qualify for a II-S, and without a doubt my education has been much more complete, more satisfying to me.

While a student, it is easy for a young man of draft age to see and feel all the contradictions inherent in a country with such a system .

America is supposedly based on the individual's freedom to live without intimidation by the state, yet he finds his life directed by the government.

He can smell the odor of coercion when he knows that, if he doesn't follow an almost fixed pattern for four years of his life, he will be forc ed into the military.

Abolishing deferments won't be enough The student will then have lost his deerment but will have to deal with his conscience. He will be forced to decide whether or not he will submit to forced labor, fight in a war he may feel has no legitimacy, or help to increase militarism .

It will be hard to get today'sstudents to compromise their consciences, much harder than channeling them into school.

(Note: The information in the above article is not meant to, in any way, be a guide for obtaining any deferment For information concerning this counseling, students should contact Peer Counseling in R-5.

Possibilities investigated

Low-cost student housing?

Is there a housing shortage for Palomar students?

Some seem to think so . ''It took me three weeks to find a place, and I got stuck out in Vista,'' commented Jim Hook, freshman biology major with long blond hair.

"The only apartment I could find cost me $150 a month, for a small twobedroom," reported Hank Bolger, a PE major and family man. "Needless to say, I'm looking for another one."

"One of our greate st needs is lowcost housing for students," said Robert aurton, dean of student personnel, "especially m a rri ed students.''

Statistic s show that approximately 36 percent of those enrolled in day classes are 21 or over.

The gre at majority of evening s tudents are adults and working. Total e nrollment is 63 44 .

Kirk McClure , ASG pre s id ent, said friends have complained about the lack of dwellings, but he has yet to personally · have suc h a problem.

After searching for two and a half months, Pat Rickman recently moved in with three others living in an old Victorian house in Escondido . She is trying to get a Work-Study job on campus and receives Social Security payments to pay her portion of the $300 a month rent.

Vince DiCiccio recently moved to Escondido from Del Mar to be clos er to Palomar and would like to live in San Marcos, but fi nds "there is little or no housing available.'' He has a part-time job in San Marcos and has been waiting since November for GI Bill funds to pay the rent.

DiCiccio shares with two others a twobedroom triplex they found after combing the local classifieds for three weeks .

"I understand we were lucky to get a place for $ll5 a month.

The ASG could secure loans for construction of dormitories, according to Dean Burton, if activity cards were made mandatory by the state legislature. ''There are good arguments on both sides of the issue," said the veteran administrator. ' 'I believe the best way to solve this problem is to encourage private enterprise to build units in the area.''

All of the students questioned, except McClu r e, said they would be in favor of mandatory ASG cards if it would make construction of low-c os t student housing near campus possible. Mc Clure and Miss Rickman were the only ones, however, who would want to live in dormitories if they were built here .

In its next Tuesday edition, THE TELESCOPE will take an in-depth look at this and other alternative solutions to the housing problem.

Liberated

By Vic Heman Students of Palomar, rejoice!

A new revelation in student rights has been brought about by our ASG executives.

Due to the acceptance of a new resolution, all members of the student body may soon be able to use the facu lty lounge.

Further joy may be experienced in knowing that all students may a lso be allowed the privilege of using the faculty restrooms.

Some may wonder why these monumental propositions were accepted. Well, their intent was stated as the improvement of student-faculty relations.

The connection between the betterment of student-faculty relations and joint use of restrooms is obscure , although naturally a certain minority may disagree.

The presumption that said relations can benefit from the exercise of this new right is farcical.

Underlining the humor of this situation is the basic matter offaculty rights.

Any instructor who does not make himself reasonably available for communication with students destroys his basic r eason for being an instructor. However, a faculty member should not be required to associate with students every minute of the working day.

Where students are concerned, most s eem to enjoy the spacious lawns around the campus as well as the cafeteria and patio area, and no pressing need appears to exist for further student lounging area.

The initial e ncouragement to rejoice is hereby cancelled.

I Letters to the Editor I Dear Editor: When it comes to ecology, we are all citizens of the Earth.

That is, we shouldn't recognize any one country or nation just the Earth as a whole; therefore when an ecological disaster occurs in any part of this planet, we are all injured.

The United States of America is planning to install a pipeline from the frozen north slope of Alaska to the southern port of Valdez, Alaska. This pipeline ' will be carrying 500,000 barrels of 160 degree oil a day and 2,000,000 barrels by 1980.

In an article in the San Diego Union (and I quote), "The interior department held yesterday that Alaskan oil is so important to the nation that a pipeline for its delivery must be built even at the inevitable cost of some damage to the environment."

These costs would be incurred if the pipeline broke; also at the time that the pipeline would be constructed the heavy moving equipment would rip the tundra to shreds.

In the gold rush of the 1800's the ruts from the wagon wheels are still there.

The Sierra Club labeled as "outrageous" the conclusion that the Alaska oil pipeline must be built. They also said the interior department is putting the oil companies first and the environment last.

Former Secretary of the Interior, Walter J. Hickel refused a construction

'Spirit's' latest proper mixture

By Jerry Nicholas Those who have been disappointed by "Spirit's" last two albums can regain the enthusiasm they had for their first rec ord by listening to the new "12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus."

Advertised as "their best album yet," it incorporates all the things that made "Spirit's" popularity in the first place.

That is, a mixture of good old rock and roll and jazz, plus this time a dash of R &B funk.

It's the magic ingredient that separates this album from their other offerings and for the first time "Spirit" is a group that makes you dance.

All these diverse styles are present in this collection, yet somehow Randy California seems to pull them all together with his angelic fuzz guitar. • The cuts are also well -integrated.

My main criticism of "Clear" was that the songs were too unrelated. Tracks of "12 Dreams" blend together beautifully.

The theme of the album is loosely an ecological one, and after all, "Spirit" was one of the first to warn of polluters in ''Fresh Garbage.''

"Nature's Way" is a classic anthem for ecology freaks and "Space Child," using a synthesi zer, was big on FM radio.

The singing is better on this record, and so are recording techniques. It's just their best album yet.

permit because of the lack of environmental safeguards, but after reading the new plans said that he felt that the environmental damage would be kept to an acceptable level. There is no "acceptable level'' of environmental damage.

The only acceptable level of environmental damage is no damage at all.

What I've written this for is to once again remind people through your newspaper that we have to get out and do som.ething about this and other pending eco-disasters. Big business, you know who I mean, has taken over the management of Earth and we have to reclaim the power.

If words and petitions fail, and they have, then it is time to use stronger measures.

Boycott, strike, and the shutting down of the factories is inevitable. Fellow friends of the Earth, come together, and let's clean this mess.

Thank you.

Yours till the end, Robert Ross Rickman

Dear Editor: Just a small insight into what is meant by the "corporate state." In the last issue of the TELESCOPE, the Boise Cascade Corporation was listed as a previously anonymous donor to the group which led the attack on the Clean Air Amendment (Proposition 18). Boise Cascade is one of America's largest corporations, one with heavy concentration in the land "development" (rape) business. But part of their operations includes CRM publications . Headquarters can be fou nd in Solana Beach. It is CRM which publishes that grand journal of humanism and sensitivity--- Psychology Today. It is this kind of reality that makes theater of the absurd a valid art form in the 20th century.

Dick Peacock Dear Editor: I am writing this note to thank many people on campus who are working hard on many serious problems we now face.

These people work and try to help solve pro1Jlems that concern all of us, with very little response from us.

These people are concerned and need a little support in trying to save us from pollution, war, racial problems and many other things. People like Gemma Par~s. Dennis Bostic, Steve Sanders , Mecha and many more.

Most of you won't know these people.

Of course, most people think they won't soon need a mask to breathe with.

How much longer can you afford not to care?
