lege. The forum exploded during a question-answer segment when students assailed the use of inflammatory rhetoric in the campaign literature of two of the candidates.

Anderson and Simson, on a slate with Redington, were attacked in regards to their pamphlet asking voters if they wanted "more tradition and less sedition'', ''more morality and less sensuality'' and "more education and less indoctrination.''

Veteran tutorial program started Veterans with a marked grade deficiency in a subject may now apply for aid to pay for tutorial assistance in that subject.

NEW TAPE RECORDING CENTER

Hanssen explains learning resources

By Guy Kennedy This year's annual Open House and 25th anniversary paid special attention to the occasion with the dedication and opening of a learning center in a section of the library. ''The learning center is the first of its kind in North County, and the most complete facility on any area college campus," said Keith G. Hanss en, learning resources counselor.

"Palomar is the first college in the area to go all the way and install the entire fac ility in one swoop rather than do it piece-meal over a period of time," he added.

The center was installed largely by Palomar labor with the technical vocational department playing a large role.

It was financed by a $23,000 federal grant.

It will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m . each day except Saturday. The c ommunity at large is invited to use the facility.

Sixty learning carrels, each with audio controlled and video tapes are available to the student.

quired equipment including headsets and tapes from the desk. Once he is in the carrel, no one can monitor him from a central point. He is free to play back, stop frame, stop and start the tape to his heart's content.'' ''Several departments are planning to includ e a s et number of hours of programmed instruction in specified courses. The psychology department is planning to utilize the center to the utmost."

Hanssen came to Palomar this past January with Impressive qualifications.

He spent 26 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a lieutenant col onel. He earned a master's degree in audio visual techniques at Long Beach College, spent two year s in Las Vegas setting up an audio visual system for Clark County.

"I welcome each and every member of the community to visit us," Hanssen said , "and especially the student interested in working and learning in the audio- visual or related field s. I'm sur e that we can work something out, so that the student will be able to gain a measure of practical experience."

produce eight copies from one master copy, and is part of the new learning resources center which was dedicated last Sunday. (Photo Eric Johnson)

"We have the capability to copy and even produce our own tapes and other learning aids,'' Hanssen emphasi zed .

"There Is not much within the realm of thi s type of operation that we cannot do with this setup."

On hand now are tapes dealing with discussions on obscenity, multi-cultural studies, Mexican-American relations and history, and biology. "We hope to have something on Black History by the summer," Hanssen said.

Ecological researcher speaks at MiraCosta Dr. John Hessel, post-doctoral fellow at Stanford University, will speak tomorrow night at 8 p.m . at MlraCosta College on the Population Bomb.

Dr. Hessel has done vast research in ecology, predator-prey relationship and behavior, and the evolutionary effects of insects on plants.

His work on the population explosion is singular in nature and represents a significant contribution to contemporary science.

with She ran Gallipeau, student conductor.

Soloist for the Myslivecek P iano Concerto with orchestral accompaniment will be Alan Beck, Palomar student.

"If a student or a member of the faculty learns of an interesting video tape he thinks we should have, all he has to do is borrow the tape for me and I will do the rest. We also offer any of our material to other similar operations in the area. All they have to do is send me a blank tape, and I will make them a copy."

"We can duplicate more than 500 tapes a week, produce a hundred copies an hour," Hanssen contended , and then went on to explain the carrels.

Why Draft Repeal'

EDITORIAL

Just something in men's minds

Psychologist urges end to •

By Jerry Nicholas

•

conscr1pt1on I am going to give three reasons why, as a psychologist, I think the draft must be repealed: 1. It prevents young adults from exercisi ng mature freedom of c hoice at a tim e when this is fundamentally important.

2. 1t forces many into adopting a "patient' s role" which is hard to give up.

3. It prevents mental health professional s from providing care to patients, and from getting good training.

First, the "channeling" of manpower by the Selective Service forces young men either to accept a high-risk draft status or move into deferred- status schooling or careers which they would otherwise not consider. The Selective Service has stated , "The c lub of induction has been used to drive out of areas considered to be less important to the areas of greater importance in whic h deferme nts were given, the individuals who did not or could not participate in activities which were considered essenti al to the defense of the nation."

This deliberate manipulation of young men in their caree r choices, prolongs their status as he lpless minors, at a time when they should be free to experiment with a variety of fields and exercise their choices as they wish. Youngadults as Erikson has pointed out, must successfully negotiate this stage in order to be ab le to go on to the next s tage of creat ivi ty and productiveness. Any correction in career (or marriage) plans inhibits choice and distorts optimal development.

Of course, this is in additi on to the se ri ous proble m of having the individual serve the needs of the state instead of having the state ser ve the individual.

Second , many a young man is able to get a deferment on psychiatric grou.1ds, because he or some member of his family has a psychiat ri c illness. It is not too difficult to demonstrate to a local board t hat such a man is likely to be a liability to the military. However, the draft itself is responsible for the slight exagge ration of symptoms which causes pe rsons in these cases to become patie nts, and there is every motivation for them to continue the role of patient until the threat of being drafted has passed.

That is, it is very easy for a young adult (or his c lose r e lative) to focus on the stresses in hi s life, including the draft, a nd if he is so d isposed, to be handicapped by them.

Unfortunately, in some cases I have seen , it is very comfortable and habitforming to have patie nt status, and when · kept up for a long tim e it can be handicappi ng indeed. So in many instances, the draft both c reates a nd perpetuates the status of me nta l patient for those vulnerable to the patient's role.

Third, the draft has been decimating the ranks of mental health professionals.

It is important to realize that ha lf of all hospital beds in the country are oc-:.. cupied by me nta l patients.

Most of the treatment provided mental patients i s provided by psyc hi at ri c residents, psychology interns a nd fi e ld placement; that is, by mental health profess ionals in training. These persons are drafted at an a la rming rate and cannot be r eplaced until the year's trainees appear.

The consequences of this is that patients receive poorer car e than they s hould, a nd th at the professional's training is interrupted at a point where continuity is important.

Thus, as a psychologi st, I see the draft as creati ng these thr ee problem s which we will have to pay for some day. The dra ft is preventing young people from exe r c ising mature freedom of c hoice at the stage of the ir deve lopment when it i s important. The dr a ft is for ci ng many people into taking on and keeping the role of mental patient. The draft is pre venting mental health professional s from receiving good training and from giving good ca r e to mental pati e nts.

Fo1 ihese r easons I be lieve the draft must be r epealed.

Coalition formed to assist pumas The Coalition to Save California's Mountain Lions states that ''The mountain lion is in immediate danger of extinction in California as a result of uncontrolled hunting as a game animal.

A couple of months ago I predicted to the staff that the U.S. would help the South Vietnamese invade North Vietnam. I repeated it twice to make sure I could say ''I told you so." when it happenen It seemed like a safe prediction. Seems like you just think of the worst thing that could happen in the war and you just have to wait a week to see it on the evening news.

Well , it hasn't happe ned yet, but it got me thinking about perspecti ves and people's . outlooks .

I was overwhelmed last week to learn that yet another group of citizens, "Blacksmiths for Peace in Southeast Asia'', had been formed to show public concern over U.S. war policies. A California legislator has suggested that perhaps that Nixon s hould be impeached for his ''war crimes''.

LeHers to the Editor Dear Miss Dirdo, Although I am not associat ed with you r campus, I am privileged to read the Telescope, from ttme to ttme.

In a recent issue you published a letter from someone named Dick Peacock, which recalls the classic Easterner aski ng for a "tay ko" at a Tico Taco stand; because his recital direc tly related the Boise Cascade land development business to rape.

Now rape is a strong word: in point of fact, the dictionary has it meaning to take by force, to plund e r, to ravish; so that either Peacock has assigned a meaning to the word ''rape" other than the dictionary's, or he is so grossly misinformed as to be a nut, instead of some kind of bird.

So, for the edification of all interested readers including myself, I c hallenge Mr. Peacock to answer two specific questions, through the same medium he chose to air his warped view on the "corporate state".

The two precise questions are: # 1 Exactly what does the word "rape" mean in your lette r, Mr. Peacock? # 2 Exactly what would you do, Mr. Peacock, to improve upon the land development business of Boise Cascade, or any other member of the ''corporate state", in today's FREE market?

Sincerely, J. Stanton PS I am NOT associated with Boise Casc ade or any other l and developer; I am just a North County r es ident, who p ays the taxes that support your school.

Dear Editor, I didn't think that I would get such a "conce rned" response to m y letter.

Obviously the writer sees my writing as an attack on the system. And indee d it is.

I would accept J. Stanton's definition of "rape ." Anyo ne driving around North County would have to be blind not to see how the natural rolling terrain is being plundered and ravished .

Hills are cut up, bulldozed, flattened into uniform patterns that then are covered with faceless box houses. Things, such as tree s, that happen to get in the way are ripped out. There is no attempt to flow with the landscape and quietly blend with the natural environment. Developers are concerned with one thing-money, and cons iderati ons of cons erving the land in a conditi on that our children will recognize as natural and beautiful are beyond their interests. We only have to look at the once lovely Orange County to see this . Housing projects are piled next to one another so that the area is literally c hoking to death.

Free market? Nothing's free, baby.

The corporations buy their way, whether it be with cas h or political pressure.

By rezoning areas, influencing highway construc tion or manipulating information flow, the corporate developers do

whatever they want. They have the money, hence the power. Wi tness what is happening in the Solana Beac h- Cardiff beach area.

La Costa land company (and I use La Costa, Rancho Bernardo, Boise Cascade interchangeably because ultim ately its all the same schtik) has bought up one of the last remaining free beach areas. It wants to move highway 101 back to the railroad track a nd build a row of luxury apartments (really snazzy, you know, like Miami Beach). Now where will the public swim?

The coastline will become the private playground of those able to afford it. And don't think it won't happen. Boise Cascade attempted las t year to change state laws which have traditionally allowed people to fish lakes of a certain size.

This company surrounded several lakes with homes, then refused the public access to them, claiming private prop e rty.

My original complaint was that such corporations can be s o boldly hypocritical. On the one hand they pay the bill for the defeat of such important, lifegiving legis lation as the Clean Air amendment; they s tructure the environment so that man is blocked from enjoyment of what is rightfully his; they distort his sense of nature and beauty.

On the other hand they cynically publi sh something like Psychology Today, a magazi ne that purports concern for the human condition (d espite the fac t that this month's issue is filled with cigarette advertising).

Yes, it's rape. But the really sick thing about rape is that one of the parties enjoys it.

aided by course • • 1n power sew1ng A new industry is getting off to a healthy s t art in North County and Palomar is on the ground fl oor.

Among the positive effects of this new source of e mploym e nt is the fact that it does not add to e ither air or water pollution.

Nine clothing manufacturers have recently relocated their factories in the North County area. These new facilities are a plus for the community in that they do not remove money or employment from the area. Rathe r, they bring employment to the segm e nts of the population needing it most; the culturally disadvantaged, the handicapped, and the unskilled, both me n and women.

In taking advantage of this new program Palomar will be expanding the campus to include 1050 Grand Street in San Marcos. The building is being leased in order to fulfill requirements for additional space demanded by the sewing cours e. The nine garment manufacturers are helping with the financial burden of leasing this s p ace .

Cl asses will be limited to 24 persons since only 24 machines a r e available at this time. Clas ses will initially meet in the evening, four nights a week, for four weeks. It is hoped that the course will be offered to day s tud ents at a later time. Disadvantaged students will m ake up at least half of the class body.

At present, 500 power sewing jobs are going begging at thi s time in North County due to lack of qualified applicants. Workers, male and fem ale , are paid $2. 00 per hour starting wages wi th a commission on the number of garments processed.

Students plan anti-war rally

This combined with Art Hoppe' recent admittance that he was "rooting for the e nemy'' couldn't he lp but make me feel proud of those year s of opposition to the war.

I got to thinking about how we would feel if China had thousands of men and planes in southern Mexico and all of these hypothetical reversals. Could it be that I had been right about the war all thi s time, that I wasn't just rebelling against my parents aft er all ? started About that time someone talking about Asian dominoes and Oriental mothers who don't really care about their c hildren, things my head hadn't dignified in years . As I turned away, I murmured, "Oh, you're still he r e," whic h nobody seemed to und e rstand.

This quickly returned me to Palomar College reality and before long I was plotting my next assault on the faculty restroom. Sort of back in the groove.

Somewhere in the back of m y mind s omeone was confused about the identity of the e nemy. Reality seemed r athe r abstract.

But then, the Asian war isn't much of a reality. It's just something in m en's mind s .

Willes presented in lecture series John Wilks, a Fullbright exchange instructor in the English Department, will be pres ented in a s eries of three programs at the college on April 29, Mayl3 and May 27.

Wilks, who is a faculty member of Neville's Cross College, in Durham, E ngland, has exchanged positions for the 1970-71 college year with Angelo Carli, of the Palomar College Englis h department and who is teaching in Wilks' place in Durham.

In the April 29 lecture, titled "Literar y Landscapes," he will give a series of readings grouped around his childhood impressions and the English countryside, and on May 13, a second set of readings concentrating on the urban scene.

His final program, May 27 , will be ''Impressions of America.''
