Speakers place third in tourney As the national finals draw nearer the speech team ea rn ed additional honors by placi ng third in over-all competition at the Pacific Coast Conference Speec h Tournament he ld at San Diego State College last week . In comme nting about the tournament which included over 600 participants from 45 coll eges, coac h Ray Dahlin said that "Palomar College was the only community co ll ege to win or place in the senior division." Several individuals also earned recognition in the individual areas of competition. Wendy Wetze l place d first in the senior expository and also earned a third place in the senior persuasive. Joe Cosenza helped the overall cause by placing second in the sen ior persuasive speech category. h:enya exchange student i-.:aranja 1\lungai a lso placed third in the persuasive speech division with a fourth place, a lso taking fifth place In the oral interpretation speech competition. Lack of funds is the most serious problem facing the speech team at the present time and this may affect the number of students ab le to participate in the state c hampions hips at Santa Rosa and the National Finals In St. Louis, according to Dahlin. "We hope to have 12 e ntries in the National Finals," commented :\Ir. Dahlin.
"Phaedra," the neo-classical Greek tragedy, is a most difficult play to perform due to the poetry-form script and unique language style. In spite of these difficulties, the cast has produced a most interesting and entertaining performance. From perhaps the finest cast that Palomar has seen are three actors worthy of special recognition due to their exceptional performance s in this play. Perry Sites, who interprets the role of Theseus, Phaedra's unsuspecting husband, accomplishes the task of portraying an aged king, with apparent ease.

In the lead role of Phaedra, Jill Moore does an especially good job of playing a woman torn between her passions and her moral judgments. Hippolytus, Phaedra's innocent stepson and love, is excellently portrayed by David Fennessy, who also wears one of the finest costumes in the production. The entire cast does a professional job of creating a realism and atmosphere that is all too often not present. Supplementing this realism are the special effects of lighting and sound provided by the stage crew, in addition to the attractive costuming and make-up. After completing its run this weekend, "Phaedra" will continue its run next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

In supporting roles Perry Sites plays Theseus, P haedra's unsuspecting husband, and Rosela Del Castillo interprets the role of Aricia, a princess exiled by Theseus who is Hippolytus' love.

Other roles include Claudia Keithly as Ismene, Aricia's confidante ; Estella McDill, as Panope, Phaedra's servant, and Bob Garven and John Higdon as Theseus' stalwart guards. "Since the play is written in poetry, it has been a tremendous challenge not to let the rhtythm and rhyme get in the way of the meaning and not to let it destroy the human quality of the characters," said Buddy Ashbrook, director. "I'm sure the ac tors will succeed in avoiding the danger . " Ashbrook added that the cast disciplined themselves for this "very difficult play" and are "overall" the best cast he has directed. The technical staff includes Norm Gaskins, technical director, with Tom Hend erson assisting him ; Bob Kendricks, stage manager; Garth Warner, lights; Obie O'Brien, sound; and Linda Beundel, props.

By offering these courses, Lucero hopes to give the Indian students a better understanding of their culture and history, so they may be proud of their heritage a nd retain their culture. He feels non-Indians would profit by obtaining a better understanding of the culture of Native Americans.
