Recall petitions submitted to judicial group Petitions containing 240 names were submitted to the student assemhly last week to recall the entire ASG. This was a reaction to the resolution passed in that body to support state legislation concerning mandatory student purchase of ASG cards. The student assembly referred these petitions to the judiciary comm ittee for action. Howeve r, due to some uncertainty concerni ng whether one member of the five member body has resigned , the jud iciary cannot immediately act on the petitions. Therefore, a recall election may have to take place at the same tim e as the regularly sc heduled election (May 24-25) for fall, 1971 student governm e nt members . Earlier Bruce Jacques, last yea r 's judicial chairman, was approved as a new member of the judic iary, replacing Tom Pitts, who recently resigned. Impeachment proceedi ngs agai nst six student assembly memhers were not acted upon Friday, due to the lack of a s imple majority vote in favor of the motion. David Gruenbaum, rules comm ittee c hairman, declared the impeachment motion by citing the c lause in the ASG constitution whic h defi nes negligence . He then accused Mike Dedic, Jon Stanley , Margaret Castellanos, Dave Edgar, George Herrera and David Stephe ns of violating t his clause. He s ta ted that these s ix were not the complete list of those missing three consecutive meetings . However, he add ed that the mem be r s mentioned had missed seven meetings or more. Richard Garcia's name was r emoved from the list of members to be impeac hed, because it was found that an e rror had been made as to his atte ndance . Upon the fa iling of the impeachment process vote, Grue nbaum said t hat he would bring up this motion at every meeting until the end of the semester. "All I want is for these people to come to the meetings or res ign. I would prefer if they would come to the meetings . " An appeal was made by T.J. Freeman regarding his recent impeachment from the executive counc il. ' 'I was not informed that I would be tried im mediately after the vote as to whether I would be impeached,'' he said." I would like to have a chance to appeal to the judiciary." It was the n agreed that his appeal would be cons idered by that body.

'The Egg' hatches on stage Thursday "We're ready to crack "The Egg" this Thursday," Budd y As hbrook, director announced, the opening night of the Drama Department's spring produc tion. ''The Egg, '' a hilarious mode rn F r ench comedy by Felicien Marceau, will open at 7:3 0p.m. in room P - 33. "The cast has finally jelled and will 路 be r eady for opening night. It took longer to be ready partly because of the l arge and inexperienced cast and partly because it is a fragmental type of thing. That is, it's done in small scenes which jump from presentational to fantasy, Ashbrook expla ined. Tom Henderson is Emile Magis, the l eading character who wanders in and out of the scenes, and addresses the audience direc tly whenever he wishes to comment on the egg, a symbolism of the worl d, the system to which eve r yone wants to belong. "There will be a big audience involvement in this play. The leading characte r will talk to people in the audience as if they were c haracte rs in the play . The play is very interesting as well as funny," Ashbrook said . Beverly Larson, Claudia Eichen, Dr. Rolli n Coleman, Darlene Booker , Claudia Keithly, Estell a McDill, John Higdon, Ed Molthen, Don O'Rourke, Wayne Baldon, Steve Barns, Bob Garvin, Obie O'Brien, Cheri Jacques, Mary Vollmer, Cher Kunz and JoAnn Watkins compose the supporting cast.

Massive mail lobby planned
PERSONAL GOALS DEFINED
At least 40 million le tters sent to P r esident Nixon agai nst the war is the goal for a massive mail lobby during the first part of July. The effo rt was launched by a local student last week who is now in the process of contacting students and community organizations across the country. "We want the nation to know that the s ile nt majority is not in favor of the Vietnam war," said Cory Wind who has initiated the campaign. The drive is not connected with any organi zation, accordi ng to Wind, and it is hoped that it will be able to unite all of the different organi zations and people who are opposed to the war. "We want everyone, no matter what their reason for ob jecting to the war, it's because they want whe ther the prisoners of war freed , a stop to the atrocities suc h as My Lai, or opposition due to economic or political reasons, or perhaps they are opposed to all war, to write a letter to President Nixon and send it on July First" Wind stated. The letter states that "withdrawal from Vietnam s hould be imm ediate and done no later than December 31 , 1971." The letter continues, "The senseless deaths incurred on both sides of this futile battle must stop. Stopping the killi ng, bringing the troops hom e , P . O.W. ' s released, and ridding ourselves of a costly war that the American public has grown tired of; these are what we Americans want now. Peace." Wind c ites the fact that a recent Gallup poll found that 73 percent of the Americ an public want the US out of Vietnam by the e nd of this year. "If you're tired of this war and part of the silent majority, this is something you can do to make your feelings known to the President."
Profits procured Plenty of peculiar purchases were procu r ed at the profitable Patron's of Palomar "Pink Pachyderm" presentation presided over by Mrs. W. F. Pulver, general chairman of the sale. North County residents came by the hundred s to take advantage of the huge assortment of sale items offered at bargain prices in the Dome r ecently. Mrs. Pulver said over S2,300 has been realized from the day and a ha lf sale, which makes this the most successful financial venture eve r held by the Patrons.
for the in-the-round production, com m ented on the construction. " It was a most difficult structure to make as far as construction goes. It was extremely difficult to get arches of the top shell of the egg on top of the set without it coll apsing. I used white pine for the frame and bent " strut" pieces into shape and then put on a basic covering of cardboard. The center of the egg had to be cut out to facilitate the hanging of lights." The stage construction, which has the top of a broken egg s he ll hanging on top with the corresponding lower half on the bottom, was pronounced by Gaskins "quite an engineering feat." "Lighting plays a big part in the play," Ashbrook added. "This is one of the more difficult stages to be lighted because of the quick scenes. There are 75 light cues altogether." Discussing the technical difficulties in constructing a stage in-the-round, Gaskins said that everything must be double-checked both sideways, backward and front, because the audience can see everything from all directions. Ashbrook advises those planning on attending "The Egg" not to bring c hildren to see it. Other s how dates fo r "The Egg''are May 21, 22, 27 , 28 and 29. Curtain time is 7:30p.m. Ticket prices are $.50 for students and $1.50 for non-stud ents. Reservations may be made by calling the college and asking for extension 77 or contacting Jill Moore, house manager.
Vocational instructors versatile
By Guy Ke nnedy "Our goals in the Vocational Departm ent are to develop a process whereby t he student can develop in his first semester a skill that will enable him to get a job and subsequentl y continue his education, if he so chooses . '' T his is how Mr. Walter F . Brown defines the mission of his departme nt and his own personal goals at Palomar. Brown came to Palomar in July, 1970, after a wide variety of experiences in the vocational education field. He counts Cal-Poly and Long Beach State College as a lm a maters . He nas 22 years experience in the auto-repair area, owning his own business at one time. Further, he has taught vocational skills both in high school and juni or college. He holds a masters degree in Industrial Arts. "It is also very important that the student be able to support his family , in the case of married students, in the shortest amount of time. Therefore, emp hasis is on the certificate programs'. ' "We strive to maintain a balanced program to aid all the local cultures, even though many of the minority students te nd to disregard what we have to offer. But we do need more cou rs es he re at Palomar orientated toward skills that women would like to acquire.'' And in this a rea he has worked toward making the dental assistants and power sewi ng courses a reality at Palomar. "I realize the importance of gainful employme nt and worthwhile skills in improving the individual's self esteem." "We also strive to aid the handicapped in obtaining suitable training so that they will prove e mployable. In this capacity, Mr. Tefft, is invaluable." And as quick as that, I was introduced to Mr. William Tefft, vocational rehabilitation counselor. Tefft knows of what he speaks when he counse ls . He was permanently injured on a construction site in 1957, while inspecting the building after a varied career that began in Chi cago, saw him retire from the Honolulu, Hawaii Police Department, serve as recreational director of Oahu State Prison, aid in providing security for the Enewetok nuclear tests, and run a restaurant in San Marcos. Tefft is here on Internship, bei ng a graduate student at San Diego State College, school of education . He is also the less scenic side of "Tefft Incorporated." The Teffts have five children , two back in Mrs . Tefft's native Hawaii. "It gives me great pleasure to bring useful information to hanUJ capped citt-
zens concerning the educational opportunities available to them, and how they might finance them," Tefft said in resonant tones . "One of my most memorable days was one in which I he lped register 27 handicapped students." Tefft has a staff of five student counselors who go out into the community to talk to prospec tive students . "They are good and dedicated people. And with their help, we expect to double Palomar's present number of handicapped students," he added.
"Formany years I was on the other s ide of 路 the fence. Where a m an had to watch himself a ll the time. I saw only the seam ier sides of life and people." "When I worked in the prison, I was a "screw," fair game for every c onvic t in the place. I lived looking over my s houlder at all times, not trusting anyone in the place. This makes a cynic of a man." "As a cop, I was In practically the same situation. But now I'm a student and a counselor. I enjoy my work."
